Designing Funds Request
Submitted by University
To State Planning Board
By WINNIE BOYLE
A request for money to plan a
long-range $3B million expansion
project has been submitted by
the University to the State Plan
ning Board as the first, step on
the long road toward construc
tion. .!
"Along with the request, a list
of. projects scheduled for design
or construction in 1963-1965 was
submitted to the board.
Banked first on the priority list
was a request for design money
totaling about $227,000 for an ad
dition to Burrowes, the' conver
sion of two buildings at the Potts
ville campus, classrooms for the
Scranton campus! and the exten
sion of University utilities. Hie
total money needed for the event
ual completion. of these projects
is approximately $4. million.
EVERY TWO years the gover
nor’s budget officer gives the
University the opportunity to
submit a request for buildings for
the coming six-year period. This
list -is submitted '.to him and is
then given to the State Planning
Board.
When this body reviews the
request, the University is invited
to discuss it with the,. Planning
Board. This year President Eric
A. Walker appeared before the
Board on Oct. 18. He reported to
the University Senate at its last
meeting that he felt he had been
given a warm reception:

there is a possibility 1 that that

E. Jackson, dean of tljie College
of Agriculture, said yesterday.
On Wednesday night John R.
Rackley, vice president for resi

for a “core college’" which would

Baker said the reasons the
administraton is - incapable of
handling the many [student-ori

performed by USG are the cost
and effort involved in them. ; .
The administration, however,
is not at fault for not being able
to do the whole job; of running,
the University, Bakeij said.
"If you thipk about it, you’ll
realize that many times in stu

the administration! will then rec

"THE COLLEGE of Agriculture
is not at all interested in losing
the biological sciences because
this is the basis for the field"
Jackson said, “but there is a good
possibility that its needs can - be
served by the new organization.
Many colleges across'the country
are doing veiy- well with this type
of organization." . !'
"I think there is • good deal
of logic in the proposal/' Jackon

we will have nothing to worry

Castro Threatens
To Down Planes
3 UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. UP)—
Reliable sources said last night
Prime Minister Fidel Castro had
sent a blunt, warning through act
ing Secretary-General U Thant
that Cuba will shoot down, any
U.S. planes flying reconnaissance
missions over Cuban territory.
1 THE WARNING was contained
in a letter given to Tfiant ,by a
Cuban representative. Ita con
tents were made known later to
U.S. Ambassador Adlai E. Ste
venson by the secretary-general.
• Full details of the letter out
lining Castro’s position of the
Cuban crisis were withhetyat the
request of Cuba. A U.N. spokes
man iaid the communication will
be published this morning.
1 The development came amid a
new flurry of diplomatic activity
in which Thant met jointly with
Cuban U.N. delegate Carlos Lc
chuga and Soviet Deputy Foreign
Minister Vastly V. Kuznetsov.
! STEVENSON and Kuznetsov
arranged a meeting last night at
the Soviet U.N. mission.
jLechuga said he had presented
no new proposals to Thant, but
indicated the Castro communica
tion?- would reflect the Cuban
leader’s latest position.in the light
of talks he ■ has been holding in
Havana with Soviet First Deputy
premier Anastas I. Miko’yan.
jMikoyan’s departure-from Ha
vana was reported imminent. He
may stop' in New York for talks
with Kuznetsov on his way home.
"Earlier, 1 Cuban sources said
Lechuga and Kuznetsov still were
considering whether to push the
Soviet-Cuban proposals tney took
tion of USG has two phases, Bak
er said.
The-first Is actual communica
tion. USG fulfills this when it
expresses an opinion for the whole
student body, as in the Froth and
ROTC issues, he continued.
!“In carryingv.this- function out,
the Congress acts'as the speaker
for the entire student body,” he
said.
! “The other phase Is the newest
and most challenging of USG’s
aims and that is creating social
awareness,” He said social aware
ness includes; knowledge and.
awareness of national and inter
national -affairs and cultural
events. I
To encourage this climate of
increased social awareijess, Bak
er said, USG sponsors various
programs, publicizes them and
takes every opportunity to facili
tate and stimulate the learning
process both in and outside of the
classroom. 1
