Tuition Hike
Marks Costliest
State School
A $l5-a-term tuition boost,
for Pennsylvania students ef- 1
fective this term has madej
the University the highest tui-j
tioned strictly state-supported
institution in the nation.
Tuition for out-of-state stu
dents was increased $3O-a-term.
Tuition is now $175-a-term for
state residents and $350-a-term
for out-of-state students.
Room and board was also
raised to $265 a term for a dou
ble room and $2BO for a single
room. Last term men paid $254
for a double room and women
paid $260. For single rooms men
paid $268 and women paid $274.
The tuition hike was re
quired because the General
Assembly failed to grant the
funds requested by President
Eric A. Walker. The Assembly
allotted a stand-still budget of
$18.5 million for the coming
fiscal year.
Along with the tuition increase
came a tightening in regulations.
All tuition and room and board
fees must now be paid one month
prior to the start of the term. A
$25 late fee will be charged if
tuition is paid after this deadline.
Also, beginning with this term
the University is requiring a
General Deposit, $25 from upper
classmen and $5O from freshmen,
which will replace the individual
deposits collected for ROTC, Phy
sical Education, Chemistry and
Housing.
This money will be returned
upon graduation or withdrawal
from the University.
In a move designed to ease the (
financial load for families now
unable to pay college expenses
in a lump sum, the University
made an arrangement for finan
cing tuition and room and board.
This program, an “assured edu
cation plan," will enable graduate
and undergraduate students to
borrow educational funds from a
private banking institution.

'Goat 1 the Goat
Stars as Guest
At Pep Rally
The Ag-Hill goal named
“Goat” was the star attrac
tion of last night’s “Beat
Navy” pep rally.
The goat, obtained from an agri
culture experimental center, was
chaperoned by Herbert Goldstein
and clothed with a “Beat Navy”
shawl,
Led by the cheerleaders, the
frosh and upperclassmen yelled
out songs and cheers, including an
enthusiastic rendition of the song
of the Class 0f,’65.
Football coach Rip Engle and
last year’s captain, Henry Opper
man both spoke at the rally, al
though both refused to make a
flat prediction of victory.
A “Sink the Navy” skit, pre
sented by Scrolls, senior women’s
hat society and Parmi Nous, sen
ior men’s hat society, featured a
re-worded version of “Anchors
Aweigh” and “Michael Row Your
jßoat Ashore."
! Six Scrolls, dressed as Mary
:Martin-type midshipmen rowed a
Navy boat until a “Parmi Nous
Sea Lion” (costumed in the old
land very worn Lion’s suit) dis
armed their coxswain and chased
I the Navy back to the banks of
the “smelly Servern.”
Sheila Cohen, Barry Nellinger
and Paul Krow emceed the rally
sponsored by Block VS” Club.

Frosh to Appear
in Customs at Game
The biggest cheering section at today's football game
with Navy will probably be a mass of blue and white dinks
and varicolored namecards as the freshman class makes its
first public appearance in full dress customs.
Although customs officially began last night at the Dink
Debut, this will be the first chance
for the upperclassmen to look
over the latest crop of girls as they
file into the outposts of the north
stands.
The dinked and namecarded
frosh should be able to outcheer
the Navy's midshipmen since
they should outnumber the Mid
dies at the game by better than
5 to 1.
And if any frosh groans as he
is ushered behind the goal posts,
or if he gets caught trying to sneak
into the senior section, he can al
ways be glad he entered Penn
State in 1961 and not a 100 years
earlier.
Customs have been with us
ever since the University began as
the Farmer’s High School in 1855.
At one time, “class scraps” were
the order of the day and there
was such fierce class loyalty that
drop outs would often wait a year
to return rather than be a fresh
man again under the sophomore
class that he once belonged to.
Customs at one time listed un
til "move-up day" which was
This is another event sponsored by
sometimes as late as May. Dur
ing this time freshmen were not
allowed to associate or even
talk with coeds. (A far cry from
today's "Hello Walks!")
Although customs may bo very
traditional, the information the
freshmen must have on the tip of
their tongues changes from year
to year.
Starting Monday, the class of
'65 will be expected to know
all the songs and cheers, the lo
cation of all the campus build
ings, and various other bits of
information about Penn State.
Violators of this year’s cus
toms may be reported on forms
available at the Hetzel Union
desk. All complaints during cus
toms should be addressed to the
Freshman Customs Board.
All first term students are ex
pected to participate in customs
unless they are granted excuses
from the Customs Board. Any
first term student over 21 or a
veteran may obtain an excuse
from the board between 7 and
7:30 p.m. Sunday in 218 HUB.
