Lawrence Stresses
Cost of Education
The present administration's educational policies are de
pendent on available finances, Gov. David L.- Lawrence said
yesterday in his second press conference with student edi
tors from Pennsylvania colleges. .
•
"Everyone in the state wants a good system of education
but when it gets down to financing
it, most people don't want' to be
taxed," he said.
• Lawrence said his administra
tion is adhering closely closely
to a $1 million fiscal budget in
order to eliminate the deficit
caused in, previous administra
tions by {heir "yielding to the'
demands of various pressure
groups which unbalanced , the
budget"
'*l HAVE SAID before and
will say again that I will veto
any
_legislattan coming to. me that
woOld• put the budget out.of bal
afice,":he said.
Whin asked what he considers
to be the purpose of a state uni
versity, Lawrence replied, "to
educate." Pressed 'further he said,
"I think a state university has
the responsibility, to do the most
item for the tax-paying residents
of the state hut I draw no line
between the income brackets that
it should serve."
akarles Boehm, director' of the
state irDeparttnent of Public In
struction, said, however, that
Perm' State is not• considered a
state nniversity. •
"THE STATE OF Pennsylvania
hai no ;state - universities at all.
All the colleges in the state are
private,C even Perin State which
most .people consider to be the
state university, It is, instead, a
land grant college and not a state
university because state lgoverri=
merit representation on HI board
of trustees is less than 20 per cent
of The Board," he said. •
Lawrence expressed great fa
vor for ;the establishment of com
mtonieylcolleges. ;
said in a conference later
yesterday afternoon that the de

would probably be the first con

On Disarmament
WASIIINGTON (AP) Presi
dent Kennedy and British Prime
Minister Harold Macmillan an
nounced yesterday a bid to So
viet Premier Khrushchev for a
foreign ministers' meeting in dis
armament and hinted at a summit
meeting to t2llow.
They announced also British
permission for U.S.-in-the-air nu
clear tests at Christmas Island
in the Pacific} Ocean, and 'U.S.
permission for a British under
ground test in Nevada.
THE ANNOUNCEMENT, made
simultaneously at the White
House and by Macmillan before
the House of Commons, shaped up
as a joint U.S.-British strateg
aimed' at:
•Probing Soviet intentions
once' again for an agreement on
halting the arms race.
•Focusing world attention on
the U.S.-British disarmament ef
fort, rather than on their prepara
tions for a new round of nuclear
testing.
*Quieting domestic critics,
particularly in Britain, of the new
Western atomic tests.
U.S. authorities said that re-
the appointment of Gomer Wil
liams, junior in business adminis
tration from Harrisburg, to head
the USG public relations agency.
He was rejected-by an unofficial
count of 24 to 7.'
LATER IN THE meeting, the
Congress rejected the appoint
ment of Bruce DeWoolfson, presi
dent of Pollock council, as the
University Park delegate to the

FORA BETTER PENN STATE
gardless of whether ,the Soviet
Union agrees to a foreign minis
ters' getrtogether, Kennedy would
decide goon on security grounds
whethee, tocgo ahead with atmos
pheric tests.
HE likS INDICATED he be
lieves itnewed U.S. atmospheric
testing is necessary because of
,Soviet Weapon advances since
breaking the test moratorium last
I September.

There , is little expectation here
that Khrushchev will go along
loutright with the Kennedy-Mae
mill= suggestion that the U.S..
British 'and Soviet foreign min
isters convene ahead of the 18
nation general disarmament con
ference ,opening at Geneva March
14. It was speculated that Mos;
cow would respond with somel
counter proposition aimed at jock
eying for propaganda advantage.
THE I UNITED STATES and
Britaini declared their deep con
cern "for the future of mankind if
a -halt 'cannot be called to the
nuclear arms race," They resolved
to make "a supreme effort" at
the Geneva conference to "move
away from this sterile contest."
It was in this connection that
the Kennedy-Macmillan statement
suggested a possible summit
OSGA conference to be held here
today and tomorrow. After the
rejection of DeWoolfsnn, Foiamni
