Tax Bill May Determine
University'ssl7.lMillion
Unless an $8 million tax bill is passed by the state Senate,
Governor David L. Lawrence's recommendation of $17.1
million for Penn State may be further reduced, Sen. Jo Hays,
D-Centre, said last night.

AWS Set
To Begin
Coed Week
The first Women's Week,
sponsored by the Association
of Women Students, is sched- ,
uled to begin Monday and end'
on Mothers' Day, May 14.
The purpose of women's week
is to further acquaint Penn State
women with the expanding role
of AWS, Ruth Billing, AWS pres
ident, said.
The Women's Student Govern
ment Association was mainly a
governing body, setting up rules
and regulations for women stu
dents, Miss Billing said. AWS has
increased its scope of 'activities to
include cultural, religious, social
and recreational affairs, she add
ed.
Women's Week activities are
designed to emphasize these as
pects of reorganized women's
student government, she said.
The week's events include guest
speakers in the community' coun
cil residence areas, a dress-up
dinnei Tuesday night in the wom
en's dining halls and an AWS ban
quet for the installation of • the
newly elected officers Friday
night.
Mothers' Day weekend includes
a fashion show Saturday after
noon and teas, brunches and open
houses next Sunday morning.
Leonides will also sponsor a
breakfast on the same morning in
McElwain lounge, in conjunction
with Women's Week.

speak English when they deal
with us," he said.
"The Russians are outsmarting
us in trade because thfy realize
this," Krauss said.
Americans have poured billions
of dollars into countries to erase
poverty and disease, but we ex
pect them to adopt our philosophy
of life in return, Krauss said.
"We must realize that money can't
keep pace with population and
development," he added.
Tn his original article. Krauss
said "we must mobilize a cul
tural army of men and women
who will make a career of study
ing the background and tradi
tions of these peoples, who will
live with them under their so
cial, economic and political
circumstances."
President Kennedy's Peace
Corps plan may have weaknesses
because members will go with the
intention of having two or three
year "jaunts" and not take their
mission earnestly, Krauss said.
Krauss also pointed out that
corpsmen should be chosen on
"character, intelligence and Ca
pacity for understanding" rather
than the "interests now stipulated
as a Peace Corps requirement.
The language study momentum
was enormous following World
War 11, Krauss said. If the Peace
Corps can now associate the
knowledge of a country's language
with its environment, it will be
successful, he said.

for collecting the state's four per
cent sales tax, is the final part of
a revenue package asked by the
governor to balance his budget.
The bill passed the House Jan.
26, but Senate Democrats have
been unable to get the necessary
majority to get the bill through
the upper house.
Hays said that if the recom
mendation for the University's
budget is cut, it will be by "one
or two hundred thousand dol
lars," He said that the bill's pas
sage is necessary to support the
governor's original recommen
dation of $17.1 million.
An additional tax measure
would have to be voted on to de
termine whether the University
will receive its ,requested addi
tional $6 million in funds. Hays
said. President Eric A. Walker
has requested $23.1 million in
state aid for 1961-62.
Presently a 25-25 party split
prevents the Democrats from
passing the bill on their own be
cause 26 votes are needed for
passage and all 50 senators were
not present when the bill was
brought up.
The Associated Press yester
day reported a "reliable source"
as saying that one Republican
vote might be available to pass
the long-stalled bill. The source
said he did not know the name
of the Republican.
The AP reported Majority lead
er Charles R. Weiner as denying
any knowledge of the report. "I
don't know anything about it. but
I hope it's true," Weiner said.
Hays also said he had "no idea"
who the Republican is.
"Rumors have been going
around the Senate for two
months." Hays said. "but no one
has any idea where the vote is
coming from."
Hays clarified a report that
Thomas A. Ehrgood, R-Lebanon,
had said he would vote for the
bill.
Ehrgood said he would 'support
a greater corporation tax, Hays
reported, but did not say he would
vote for this tax bill.

HARMONY OF SIGHT AND SOUND surrounded dancing couples at the Senior Ball .last night.

400 Couples Swing with Kaye
By PHYLLIS HUTTON
A take-off on the song Mack, :
The Knife—" Sammy Kaye Is
Back In Town" was contrasted
with the melodious "Fascina
tion" as approximately 400
couples danced to the music
of Sammy Kaye at the Senior Ball
last night.
The Senior Ball which was held
l in the HUB ballroom was the
first major formal to be held
there. Couples danced in a true
ballroom atmosphere as the soft
lights, shining dance floor and
green drapes blended with white
dinner jackets and pastel dresses.
The adjacent terrace was bor
dered by lighted floor lamps,
which added to the "romantic
atmosphere" of the spring night.
Many couples drifted out onto
the terrace to dance under the
l ' stars or to sit at tables lighted
by electric candles.
The acoustics of the ballroom
were excellent as the soothing
sound of traditional Sammy Kaye
music filled the room.
The music of Sammy Kaye—
calm and smooth—is like Sammy
Kaye, the person, who in a private
interview related that he prefers
to play in a quiet and beautiful
atmosphere.

his own group ever since attend
ing Ohio University. He was gfad
uated in 1933 as a Civil Engineer,
but never worked as an engineer
;since he immediately organized
a dance band.
Kaye said he believes a per-
son must be a civil engineer in
order to be an orchestra leader.
The famous phrase "swing and
sway with. Sammy Kaye" began in
his early broadcasting days, he
said.
Unmarried, Kaye said he has
never regretted his choice of
music over civil engineering. He
enjoys traveling and the changing
work scene and says that his vo
cation is often as much vacation
as work.
