$2O Million Budget Requested
The joint special committee on education recommended Tuesday that the State spend
an additional $2B million on education this year. This figure would add $1.5 million to the
governor's recommendation of $18.5 for the University's budget.
The University has asked for an allocation of $23 . million.

Department Heads
See No Increase
In Teaching Load
By LEN KRAUSS
(This is the fourth in a series
of articles on the effects of the
four terra plan.)
According to a number of
department heads, professors
are teaching the same number
of hours per week under the
four term plan as they did un
der the semester system.
H. Eugene Goodwin, director of
the School of Journalism, said
that faculty members in that
school are teaching the same num
ber of hours per week as they had
previously taught under the se
mester program. Goodwin said
that the professor load was ap
proximately 6 credit-hours per
term.
John A. Sauer, head of the
Department of Physics, also said
that teaching hours would re
main the same, but pointed out
that more faculty members
were needed as a result of ex
panding the service courses for
engineering students. A request
for more faculty members has
been made, he said.
G. Kenneth Nelson, head of the
Department of Accounting, and
Ralph H. Wherry, head of the De
partment of Commerce, both em
phasized that faculty members in
those departments were not teach
ing more hours under the new
plan.
Nelson said, "We made sure of
that." Wherry said that if such
thing were done, faculty morale
would certainly be shattered.
Joseph Marin, head of the De=
partment of Enginering Mech.
anics, said that the unique thing
about the change-over is that

outcome of the recommendation
hinges on the taxes that are pro
posed to cover the $2B million."
"I feel that there is a chance
that both the Republicans and
Democrats will be able to settle
on a suitable tax or taxes to cover
the recommendation," he said.
"But I don't feel that• the Repub
licans will vote for either of the
governor's tax recommendations."
The governor recommended two
alternative taxes for increased
support of education last month.
One would be a tax on out of
state stocks and bonds and the
other a tax on returns on invest
ments such as dividends and in-'
terest.
The passing of the recom
mendation would require a bi
partisan effort in both the Sen
ate and the House. In the House,
for example, the Democrats,
who have been pushing the edu
cation bills, have only 109 of
the required 140 for two thirds)
votes.
The seven members of each par
ty on the special committe will
now go back to their inidividual
party caucuses to see if their par
ty is willing to support taxes
and, which particular taxes for
education, Hays said.
The recommendation seems to
have ben received "fairly well"
by the Republican members of
the committee, Hays said. "But
I'd be very surprised if they
came back and said that they
would support the governor's
proposals for the money."
Hays said he was, however. en
couraged with the attitude of the
Republicans on the committee.

General Charges Scouts
To Exercise Leadership
The University was the scene of excited anticipation
Thursday as General Dwight D. Eisenhower paid tribute to
over 900 explorer scouts convening at the campus.

After a brief chat with Univer-
sity officials, Eisenhower lunched
,with the scouts in the HUB ball
room. The luncheon crowd was
too large for the ballroom, so ex
tra tables were set up on the ter
race.
After lunch, the General
spoke to the group. He stressed
that the future of America and
the future of democracy de—
pends upon the proper prepara
tion of our youth for leader
ship roles. Eisenhower told the
young men that world changes
occur so rapidly today, that it
takes strong leadership to keep
up with them.
He stressed the fact that the
Boy Scouts offer excellent oppor
tunities for leadership experiences
and urged the scouts to take ad
vantage of them.
"It is not how much money you
have, or how many yachts you
have," he told the group. "Your
aim in life should be to do some
thing for the society of which you
are a part."
Eisenhower received a stand
ing ovation at the conclusion of
his talk. After lunch he braved
another mob of well-wishers as
he made his way to his car for

For Town
Purchased
Students patronizing down

such as Keeler's, The Tavern,
Spudnut Shop and other busi
nesses in that area will benefit
from the purchase of another new
parking lot, Paul Mazza, presi
dent of the Chamber of Coin
amerce, said yesterday.
' The Borouvh Parking Author
ity purchased a 33-car parking
lot area at Calder alley and
McAllister St. for the price of
$45,000.
Mazza said the purchase is
"the first big step towards better
: parking facilities for the down
town area East of Allen St."
The Parking Authority has the
power to borrow money, acquire
land and operate parking facilities
but the proposal to create more
off-street parking also requires
the support of downtown mer
chants, he said.
Secondary benefits of the new
parking area are that it will
help relieve other parking areas
in general, and aid the congest
ed situation for churches in that
area on Sundays, he said.
