Carlos Romulo, center, Philippine Ambassador to the United States, was the main speaker. Miss Marjorie Ffankuch, a Peace Corps member from Menasha, Wis., was presented the graduation certificate lor the class from Harris Wofford, special assistant to President Kennedy. Romulo Cautions Corps At Graduation Banquet Although Peace Corps representatives will receive a warm welcome in the Philip pines, they will have personal difficulties to face as well as some resentments among the people, Gen. Carlos P. Romulo, Philippine ambassador to the United States, said Thursday. "Our people are still fighting for rights that should have been given us,” Romulo told 152 Peace Corps representatives honored at a graduation banquet in the Hetzel Union.! Trustees Act To Postpone New Projects Because of rising costs and the inability to obtain in creased aid from the State,; the University will undertake no new projects until its finan cial position is substantially im proved, President Eric A. Walker said Thursday. This is the second step in the University’s self-styled austerity plan. The first step, a $l5 per term tuition increase, will yield approximately $1 million per year, Walker said. This money will be used almost exclusively to close the competitive gap in faculty salaries between the Uni versity and other institutions. This latest action was based on a Board of Trustees ruling which stated that “until the financial ability of the University to meet its normal operating expenses has been substantially improved . . .j no new endeavors requiring ad ditional money will be undertaken unless they are fully covered by additional money.” Walker said that the action means that pending proposals useful to Pennsylvania agricul ture and industry will have to be postponed; proposed new con tinuing education programs will have to be shelved, and more and more Pennsylvania students will have to be turned away. This is the first of three special orientation issues of the Daily Collegian. The remain ing issues will be published Wednesday and Saturday.

SEPTEMBER 17. 1961 The group, which has just com-1 pleted seven weeks of training at; the University for duty in the! Philippines, will spend the next! year and a half serving as teach er's aides in English and science in Philippine elementary schools.; Romulo explained that the low standard of pay to soldiers and their dependents is one cause of resentment in the islands. He also said that the Philippine people were once again disap- : pointed last week when the House of Representatives for the 16th I year in a row failed to pass a bill giving $73 million in war damage claims to the islands. ! Romulo also told the volunteers that they are now "active partici pants in a task that means war: lor peace.” j Although the volunteers are young and relatively inexperi-j enced, Romulo said, "what we: need in Asia and Africa is not age and dignity but friendliness: and idealism.” j In describing the group's ! mission, Romulo said, "You are j, not ambassadors to the Philip- j; pines.
