Pattee Gets
Normal Use
On Thursday
Library use on Thanks
giving Day was sufficient to
Justify , its remaining open,
Ralph McComb, Univer
sity librarian, said yesterday.
McComb said that while
he has not yet received a
complete report, he could
compare use on Thursday to
a normal day, "but lighter in
spots."
The library opened at 10
am.. Thursday rather than
its usual 7:50 8.121„ McComb
said.
"Library services are not
usually in demand until 9:30
a.m. on weekdays so we felt
justified in the change," he
said.
Both reference and study
facilities were used, McComb
said, adding that there seem
ed to be more undergrad
uate students in the library
Thursday.

"The staff was good about ti
volunteering to work on
Thanksgiving," he sai d.
"Since there still was not a gi
full staff, however, he added, 14
the load on those working fZI
was heavier."

_ clay, it will be submitted to the

Walker Says Intelligence
`Most Valuable Resource'
The major question concern
ing higher education in Penn
sylvania is whether or not we
can "afford" to invest ad
equately in our most valuable
sources human intelligence.
This was the opinion set forth
by President Eric A. Walker last
week in a speech at the 10th
Annual Dinner Meeting of the
Armstrong County Branch, Penn
sylvania Economy League in Kit
tanning.
The problem is not new, Walker
observed. It is the same one that
has faced the. Commonwealth for
many years, and has been studied
and restudied by all sorts of
groups and individuals, he added.
"These studies have defined the
problem with precision and have
laid out its dimensions with sta
tistics that can no longer be
questioned by anyone. But the
problem has not been solved,"
Walker told the 150 businessmen
and community leaders attending
the meeting.
Pennsylvania's colleges and
universities simply do not have
enough money to do the job
they are being asked to do and
that they ought to do. Walker
submitted.
UNIVERSITY PARK, PA.. SATURDAY MORNING, NOVEMB'R 25. 1961
QUARTERBACK GALEN HALL is presented with the outstand
ing Penn State senior football player of the year award at
Wednesday night's "Beat Pitt" pep rally by Robert Dufner,
president of the "Block 5" club. Hall was chosen for his out
standing play during his three years on the varsity team.
on Student Affairs and Or
ganizational Control.
This joint committee is sched
uled to meet on Thursday and
Laurence H. Lattman, chairman
of the student affairs committee,
has told the Assembly that if a
constitution is presented to the
committee, it will be reviewed at
this time.
The SGA - is revising its consti
tution in response to a motion
passed by the Senate committees
calling for a more general consti
tution than was presented to the
committee earlier this fall.
The new constitution is being
written without by-laws and will
be considered by the committee
in this state. By-laws will be writ
ten by the Assembly after the or
ganization has been chartered
"Governor Lawrence's Commit
tee on Education did not predict,
as many seem to think, a college
enrollment in Pennsylvania of
300,000 students by 1970," Walker
said. "All it did was to point out
the fact that there will be over
800,000 young men and women
in Pennsylvania in 1970 whose
ages fall within the range during
which young people usually at
tend college."
"And it recommended that at
least 300,000, about a third of
them, ought to find it possible to
attend a Pennsylvania college or
university," he continued.
Providing facilities for these
potential students raises a prob
lem because the state's colleges
and universities are now oper
ating at maximum capacities,
Walker said.
Besides trying to provide ade
quate physical facilities, schools
face the problems of hiring enough
teachers, increasing efficiency in
teaching methods and keeping
standards at reasonable levels.
"But without money, we can't
even begin solving them," he
stated.
"Where will this money come
from?" he asked, "Basically, there
is only one possible source the
people of Pennsylvania."
FOR A BETTER PENN STATE
through an approval of their con
stitution.
Foianini spoke to the student
body last night over radio sta
tion WDFM on a post-mortem
viewing of the Thanksgiving
question.
Foianini said that although the
struggle was in vain, it indicated
that the students never have and
probably never will have a say in
the shaping of most of the Uni
versity's programs.
"The Thanksgiving struggle ac
complished a great deal for the
student body, however. Students
were stimulated to, decide which
was more important, the efficiency
of large scale operations or indi
vidual traditional values," he
said.
Poianini said that the strong
controversy shown, although un
comfortable for some, is the
very center of freedom and,
within the limits of decency, is
a valuable part in the educa
tion of a student.
"Without rationalizing for ex
cuses, I can say that many a stu
dent is a better man for having
thought over his views and chosen
one answer or another," he said.

iby next Tuesday, Nancy Wil
liams, commission chairman,

Ail petitions must be signed by

Sunny Skies Expected Today
Partly cloudy skies and abun
dant afternoon sunshine is pre
dicted for today and tomorrow.
Excellent football weather is
expected in Pittsburgh for the
Pitt-Penn State game this after
noon. Considerable sunshine is
expected and temperatures will
be in the lower 40's.
A fair weather-producing high
pressure cell should produce beau
led for military consultations
with Finland, on "fortifying the
frontiers of Finland and the So
viet Union," Khrushchev said.
Khrushchev and Kekkonen con
ferred in a cottage on the out
skirts of the Siberian city of No-
vosibirsk as the Finnish leader
sought the reasons behind the So
viet Union's sudden request of
Oct. 30 for military talks;
A joint communique said the
conference was held "in a spirit
of open mindedness, mutual un
derstanding and sincere confi
dence" and in a "hearty and
friendly atmosphere."
Despite the lack of detail, diplo
mats who feared the Soviet Union
was preparing to compromise Fin-
I nish neutrality by demanding mil
itary bases, were heartened for a
short, time by the tone of the com
munique.
Then a report by the official
Soviet news agency Tass of a
later speech by Khrushchev at a
luncheon for Kekkonen made
clear the Soviet leader is not let
ting up on the pressure.
He claimed that the Soviet
Union does not want to inter
fere in Finland's home affairs,
but nevertheless charged that
right-wing "Tannerites"—asso
ciates of the Social Democrat
former foreign minister, Vino
Tanner—were trying to restore
a "brotherhood-in-arms with the
West German revanchists and
militarists."
Members Of Kekkonen's party
declined to give from their side
any details of the talks with
Khrushchev.
Reached at Novosibirsk by tele
phone they said the Finnish pres
ident will make a report in a
speech when he returns to Moscow
today and in another speech when
he gets back home.
