No. 17 Government Stagnation Condemned by Scranton BY AL BUTKIIS A new state, administration is vitally needed in Pennsylvania to eliminate present governmental stagnation, William W, ';icrantori, Republican candidate for gover nor, said ,yesterday. Scranton, congressman fro m the (Tenth District of Pennsyl vania, told a crowd of about 500 people in Schwab that the present Democratic state administration is stagnant. It is only interested in nictwer politics? and in building a strong political machine, he added. • THIS IS evident by the number of politicans that are now em ployed in the state's license bureau and mental institutions, he said Under the present administra tion, that only about 12,000 state employees come under the Civil. Service Act. There are 82,000 state employees that could come under the Civil - Service Act, he added. - To" - improve educational de ,v elop rn ents in Pennsylvania, 'Scranton said that a Council of Higher Education, independent of the state 'administration, would be set up if he were elected governor, _SCRANTON added ..that the * Department of Public Instruction would; be controlled by this coun cil, and , the department's person nel would be selected through the civil service program. Referring to the Bipartisan Committee of 100 for Better Edu -cation, a group formed early this year from the nucleus of the 1960- 61 Com mittee " on Edu cation, Scranton said he is not in favor of their recently proposed .plan as it now stands. The committee's plan calls for the -reduCtion of Pennsylvania's school districts from 2,100 to 400. He went . on to say that there are several additional 'factors which should be covered by the.plan. •Bus transportation for stu dents. This would mainly_ affect those living in a second , ,class •townships. •Tranferal of old schOol dis tricts' debts to the new school • districts.

Fuller, HUB manager, - are presently studying .the facilities of the HUB and will add their recommenda tions to- the ones that have al ready been made. THEY ARE also considering expansion of the - lounge space, meeting rooms, Student office space and game area. Since practically everything needs to be expanded, Donovan said, a priority list will probably be. made. The original HUB project was 'planned at an approximate cost ;of- $6 .million but when it was limited to a $3 million budget, a .lot of plans had to be cut down, he said. • Expansion planning should be easier than the -original project since the "planners will be able to study both the liUß's present facilities and the remaining needs, Donovan UNIVERSITY PARK.
