No. 143 Foianini to Present Encampment Veto To SGA Assembly SGA President Dennis Foianini will formally veto Thurs day the Assembly’s decision to hold Encampment at the Mt. Alto campus. announced his intention to veto the decision the Assembly voted down his recommendation to hold Encampment at the Uni versity Park campus. Nancy Williams, Encampment chairman, supported Foianini’s recommendation stating that cost would be reduced if it were held at University Park due to the low er cost of food provided in the residence halls. She also pointed out that transportation and general fa cilities at the University are bet ter than at Mt. Alto. “By holding Encampment at the University, we would give the general impression of more work and less play,” Foianini said. John Witmer, U-Jr., and a strong advocate of holding Encampment at Mt. Alto, said last night that he feels that Foianini’s action was wrong. “I think it was clearly shown by the Assembly's action how those who have attended Encampment before feel about the matter,” he said. Foianini Friday after Assembly to Meet Twice This Week On Constitution By SANDY YAGGI The two sessions of the SGA Assembly this week will cul minate more than a month’s work in the attempt to estab lish a new constitution for the Student Government Associa tion. At a special meeting of the As sembly called by SGA President Dennis Foianini for 7 tonight in 203 Hetzel Union Building, the Assembly will continue its ap praisal of the final draft of the proposed constitution submitted by the Reorganization Committee. The SGA Assembly last week began its work of approving the final constitution draft, taking a section at a time. This procedure will be continued at tonight’s meeting, Foianini said. The work that is not complet ed on the constitution tonight will be continued at the regular Assembly meeting 7:30 Thurs day night, Foianini said. “It is important to finish the constitution this year,” Foianini said, "as I feel it will be detrimen tal to return next fall to the same old things.” Early last month the SGA As sembly temporarily adjourned itself to form a “committee of the whole” to discuss revisions for a new SGA Constitution. Sub-com mittees were established and open meetings and hearings were held by the committees. Debate on the final draft presented to the As sembly on May 11 was delayed for two meetings because the Assem bly did not have a quorum. Dis cussion of the constitution began; at the Assembly meeting last' week. I Nancy Williams is scheduled to report to Assembly on work she has done on Encampment and workshop plans. Walker Sends Letters to Legislators President Eric A. Walker yesterday asked Gov. David L. Lawrence and leaders in the Senate and House to “provide the leadership necessary to gain approval of Penn State’s full appropriation request for 1961.” In identical letters to the leg islators, Walker said "The next move is up to you.” With the help of the requested $23 million bud get, he said, recommendations from the Governor’s Committee on Education can be carried out by him at the University. Walker listed five ways he can carry out the recommendations: •Raise the salaries of the fac ulty to "near” competitive levels. •Keep tuition fees within "fi nancial reach” of Pennsylvania students. Sty* lath} ©(EoUwii By ANN PALMER FoSanini expressed doubt that the Assembly would override his veto of their decision. Miss Williams announced six workshops last night. They are Evaluation of SGA, On-Campus Problems, Off-Cam pus Problems, Social and Acad emic Organizations Under the Four-Term Plan, Public Rela tions, Rules Regulations and Stu dent Welfare. "There will be no appointed po sitions to Encampment as such,” Miss Williams said, "but certain persons -will receive invitations to attend Encampment.” Foianini does not plan to dis cuss either Encampment or his veto at the reorganization meet ing tonight, but feels that both matters should be held until Thursday’s meeting. Encampment Applications Applications for any one wish ing to participate in Student En campment next fall are available at the Hetzel Union desk, Nancy Williams, Encampment chairman said. Interviews . for applicants will begin Wednesday, she said. ' ~' l, ‘ 111 —»—i Today's edition of The Daily Collegian will be the last of the semester.

Besides citing the recommen dations of the Governor’s com mittee in his letter, Walker listed the facts it reported. He said he did not see how the facts and need for action could be stated more clearly than had been done by the committee. “Time is running out,” he said, "while Pennsylvania’s youth are leaving the state and Pennsyl vania’s opportunity to regain first rank among the United States is being lost through sheer inertia.” Walker said that in the five years he has been president of the University, faculty and staff FOR A BETTER PENN STATE STATE COLLEGE. PA.. TUESDAY MORNING. MAY 23. 1961 Senate Library By CAROL KUNKLEMAN The state Senate yesterday passed a multi-million dollar bill establishing a state-aided library system in Pennsylvania. The bill, which was passed without debate, will now be sent to the House for approval on Senate amendments, Sen. Jo Hays, D-Centre, said last night. “We have made only minor changes in the bill and it should have no trouble passing the House,” Hays said. Senate legislators agreed to pass the bill before recessing for primary elections last week. Hays said, which accounts for the Senate's 35-15 approval. The statewide program will cost the state approximately $500,000 next year but nearly $6 million yearly when in full operation, Hnfys said. Under the bill, four regional re search library centers will be set up, he said. They will be located in Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Har risburg and University Park at Pattee Library. Ralph W. McComb, University librarian, said last week that if the bill passed Pattee could even tually receive a $lOO,OOO annual addition to its budget. Of the $500,000 io be used next year in establishing the statewide system. Hays Baid Pattee will receive only a "par tial amount" and the rest will be distributed throughout the stale to other centers and dis trict libraries. . Commenting on the bill’s ap proval, McComb said last night the bill is a “fine thing” because it provides for real development of libraries on a statewide basis. Now we’ll have a chance to catch up to other states such ns New York which are ahead of us in establishing good reference centers, he said. Pattee library will service li braries in this district, one of the 30 to be established under the bill, by exchanging reference materials and loaning books not available because of lack of funds and faci lities, McComb said. In passing the bill,-the Sen ate did not determine the dis trict boundaries. Hays said. They will be determined when the House approves the bill and the program can be more definitely planned, he said. Last week the University li brarian said passage of the bill will mean indirect benefits to stu dents because Pattee will have to enlarge its own staff and facilities to provide service to the district. LA VIE PLEASE was the byword yesterday when Sandra.Girvin, senior in elementary-kindergarten education from Springfield, and Alberta Zilinski, senior in secondary education from Boyertown, picked up their copies during the first day of distribution in the HUB cardroom.

In the last five years, he said, enrollment has increased by 4,700 students. “Will you provide the leader ship necessary to gain approval of Penn State’s full appropria tion request for 1961 in time for it to be used in 1961?” Walker asked in his letter.

Walker will report to the June meet ing of the Board of Trustees the findings of the SGA Book store Committee on the need for a University-supported bookstore. The announcement was made last night by Phil' Stein- hauer, chairman of the SGA Bookstore Committee. Albert E. Diem, vice president for business administration will report to the board in either July or August on the financial aspects of the committee’s recommenda tions to solve the bookstore prob lem. Sleinhauer said that his com mittee will recommend three al ternative solutions for the prob lem of obtaining textbooks which was shown to exist by a recent survey involving 792 stu dents. The first recommendation made to the board will be that a book store be established owned and operated by the University. A second alternative will ad vocate the formation of a coordi nating committee composed of downtown bookstore managers iHiiiiiuimimmiMHiiMHtiiiHUHiiur tut ItHIIIIIIIimMMMIIMIIIMMtMIMfIII and University administrators and students. This committee would coordi nate University and commercial efforts in the ordering and sup plying of textbooks for students, A third recommendation made by the committee is to invite an other commercial bookstore to operate in the State College area to alleviate the problem of over crowded store conditions. The committee will present V/alker with a summary of all findings made concerning a book store. Background material supplied by the committee for Walker’s re port will include a summary of the results of the recent student sur vey, an historical background, of previous bookstore attempts and a review of data received from other schools which already main tain their own bookstores.
