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.
HUB Expansion Plans
Include 'Den', Ballroom
•.• By WINNIE FOYLE
This year's freshmen should
see the realization of the expan
sion of the Hetzel Union Building,
which may include; an enlarged
Lion's Den, Terrace Room and
ballroom, George L. Donovan, co
ordinator of student activities. said
recently.
- The plans, although still in the
developmental stage, have been
in the works - since 1958.
- Those involved feel it is "bet
ter to go slowly and to do a better
job," Donovan explained.
• ()Donovan and William F. 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,

In 1958 the•All-University•Cah
inet, equivalent to the present
Undergraduate Student Govern
ment, set up a HUB expansion
committee which presented a set
of recommendations similar to
the ones Donovan and Fuller are
now considering.
In February, 1958, the Board . Of
Trustees approved in principle
the University's long range' de
velopment plans. which included
an eicAsanslon of the HUB.; The
"in principle" clause meant, that
they were approved for planning
purposes, but the plans were
understood 'to be tentative and
subject to . change.

were reaffirmed by the 'Board

Last year USG joined NSA with
a trial membership for one year.
As a trial member, if is eligible to
