Candidates Meet
In WDFM Debate
The, three candidates for SGA president debated on
WDFM last night for 45 minutes. Neal Friedman was the
moderator.
In the debate, which was modeled on the Kennedy-Nixon
debates of last fall, each Candidate posed two questions one
to each of the other candidates. A
general discussion period followed
each question.
Among the topics discussed were
the BX Board of Control, SGA
reorganization, a Uni v e r sity
Bookstore, and the National Stu
dent Association.
Robert Harrison, University
party candidate, advocated that
the University rejoin the National
Student Association, an organiza
tion that Penn State withdrew
from four years ago.
Duane Alexander, Independent
party candidate, opposed this
move and termed the NSA a
"pink" and "leftist" group.
Dennis Foianini, Campus party
candidate, answered a charge that
he lacked experience in student
government by claiming that such,
experience wasn't important and
said it didn't amount to much'
anyhow.
Deadline Extended
On Loan Requests
For First Term
The deadline for summer loan
applications has been extended for
a limited time, according to Ralph
W. Krecker, director of student
aid.
"Students are encouraged to
submit applications for the sum
mer term right away," Krecker
said. There is $25,000 in aid avail
able for students who want to at
tend the summer term, he added.
Fall, winter and spring loan
applications should be submitted
by June 1 so they can be pro
cessed and recipients notified dur
ing the summer, Krecker said.
Loans are available from either
University or National Defense
Education Act funds. There is no
interest on the National Defense
Loans until after graduation, then
interest will be two per cent for
the first year, four per cent for
the second year and six per cent
for the succeeding years. Uni
versity loans carry no interest
until graduation and then a three
per cent interest is levied.
The University could use twice
the $300,000 it now issues in loans
annually, Krecker said. Limited to
$250,000 by the National Defense
Act, since July 1, 1960 the Uni
versity has extended loans
amounting to $260,664 to 583 stu-'
dents with the remaining funds
coming from repayment of pre
vious loans. This is an average!
of $447 per student.
Request for federal loan funds
since last July numbered 1,143,
he said,. but only half of them
could be granted. Another 216
students were given loans amount
ing to $41,000 from University
funds.

laboratories." This includes intra
laboratory communications and
cooperation on problems of mu
tual interest, he added.
The Ordnance Research Lab
oratory is one of three naval re
search laboratories in the United
States which is operated under
contract with major universities.
The United States has a total
of about 13 research and develop
ment laboratories devoted to naval
problems. Each center concen
trates on one or more special areas
of research.
At least four of the other NATO
nations also have one or more
such laboratories.

He backed up his lack of par
ticipation in student politics by
citing his double major and need
to work to overcome "financial
difficulties."
He promised a fresh approach
to student government and said
the president should be a strong
leader.
He denied he was anti-frater
nity, but did promise to bring
more independents and not "status
seekers" into student government.
Harrison promised to provide
adequate leadership for SGA,
something that he claims was
lacking this year.
He questioned Foionini's lack of
political experience and asked
Alexander to explain the delay
in his reorganization report.
Alexander defended his han

delay.
In answer to another charge

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN STATE COLLEGE PENNSYLVANIA
Reaction To
Scholarships
Increases
Response to the new pro
gram of Faculty Aide Sehol
[larships has been "very prom
i.sing," Ralph N. Krecker, di
rector of Student Aid, said
yesterday.
The program was initiated by
President Eric A. Walker to pro
vide aid to outstanding students
and at the same time to aid fac
ulty members, Krecker said.
Under the plan, 100 scholarships
of $lOO each are offered for the
summer term. Students receiving
these scholarships will aid fac
ulty members in completing spe
cial research or classroom proj
ects.
"A great number of inquiries
have come in from faculty mem
bers who are interested' in the
program," Krecker said. Student
interest in the scholarships has
picked up since the Easter vaca
tion because more students start
ed to think seriously about at
tending the summer term.
Any faculty member may sub
mit a proposed project for which
he would like student aid. He may
also nominate a student for the
project. Students interested in the
program should contact their de
partment heads, Krecker said.
Krecker said several types of
research projects have already
been subtnitted'by faculty mem
bers. Professors desiring help in
researching material for lectures.
grading papers and other tasks
also submitted requests. He added
that several requests have also
come in from professors desir
ing students from departments
outside their own colleges.

Meeting
Leonides to Disband,
To Join ISA in Fall
After an hour's discussion, Leonides, independent wor,
en's association, voted last night to disband at the end c
the spring semester and join ISA "in view of changing cam
pus organizations."
Roberta Hill, past president and co-chairman of ISA,
presented the motion because
"community living is here to stay
and if these activities (Leonides
and ISA) stay apart they'll never
',get anywhere." The motion was
passed with two abstentions.
The discussion centered mainly
on the question of whether the
ISA constitution •should insure
women representation on the 17-
member ISA Board of Governors.
Leonides felt that ISA in the
future might be dominated by
men and that the women's voice
would be lost.
Linda Eager, freshman in Lib
eral Arts from Lancaster, felt that
the ISA constitution should speci
fy that a certain ratio of women
and men be elected-to the board.
Another suggestion presented
by Billie Carroll, junior in arts
and letters from-Philadelphia, was
that the constitution state a mini
'mum number of women that must
be elected to the board.
Barry Rein, co-chairman of
ISA, said he felt that the women
were "downgrading themselves"
to think that a substantial num
ber of them would not be elect
ed to the board.
If Leonides wants a minimum
representation of women provided
for in the ISA constitution, per
haps the men siluuld do the same
to make sure they have substan
tial representation, Rein said.
Marion Laines. advisor to Le
onides and.senior resident in Mc-
Elwain, felt that there was no
problem. If there were qualified
women, she said, they would be
elected to ISA.
Patricia Hagan, past treasurer,
questioned whether president Pa
tricia Shockey could ask for com
mittee reports if officially there
was no Leonides.

Robert Schwartz, junior in busi
ness administration from Merion,

'Ad Bulletin by the College of
