HUB Will
Organize
Own 'NTL'
The campus will have its
own leadership program,
sponsored by the Hetzel
Union Public Relations
Committee, beginning Jan.
16, 1964, Joseph Buchanan,
program chairman announced
last night.
John K. Brilhart, associate
professor of speech, John Tim
mis, speech instructor, and
Jerome E. Singer and Francis
Whaley, associate professors of
psychology, will be the guest
speakers for the program.
The program, which will cost
$1 per student, will consist of
seven sessions, each including aj
lecture, a question and answer
period and a workshop.
Brilhart, who is also a train
er for the National Training
Laboratories leadership pro
gram, to be held on campus
Dec. 13 - 15, said the HUB pro
gram will complement the NTL
program.
“The program is designed to
expose the student to the ele
ments of leadership and thus
provide him with the self-as
surance necessary to become
an effective leader,” Buchanan,
said.
All students may apply and
applications are now available
at the HUB desk. They must be
returned by Dec. 2.
The program differs from the
NTL program because it is less
expensive, is organized differ
ently and will be done entirely
by people on campus.
Two hundred students will
be selected and these selections
will be announced before win
ter term, Buchanan said. He
said the program will be com
pulsory for HUB committee
members who will not have to
pay the enrollment fee.
In addition, students who
have been selected for the NTL
program will automatically be
enrolled, he said.

AWS Plans
Projects for
Winter Term
The Association of Women
Students Senate last night dis
cussed the possibility of plan
ning projects and setting speci
fic goals for winter term.
Ideas suggested for future
AWS action include the back
ing of “a worthwhile project”
such as the Model United Na
tions or a University College
Bowl.
Also suggested was the pos
sibility of setting up an AWS
project that would involve
active participation of more
women students.on campus.
The senate also agreed to
establish a dress code for the
final examination period be
ginning Thursday, Dec. 5 and
ending on Friday, Dec. 13. Dur
ing that, time women students
will be permitted to wear cas
ual attire in the dining halls.
Exception is the Sunday
noon m.eal, which will require
the wearing of heels and hose
by all coeds.

Pond
the Altoona Campus by mem
bers of the Carpenters District
Council, AFL-CIO of Pittsburgh.
Stanley H. Campbell, vice
president for business, said yes
terday that “as far as I know,
there has been no rough stuff”
at the Pond site.
However, he added, the pick
ets did stop one cement truck
approaching Pond and spoke to
the driver, who subsequently
turned away from the site.
Informational Picket
The three men said they are
staging an “informational pick
et,” which should last until work
at Pond stops or until the lab
oratory’s addition is completed.
A union spokesman empha
sized that there is no connection
between the picketing on this
campus and that at the Altoona
Campus, other than the union
principle involved.
“This is an informational pick
et, not an organizational one,”
the spokesman said. The dif
ference, he continued, lies in
the purpose of the picketing.
Non-union Employer
An informational picket is de
signed to advertise the fact that
Hickes is a non-union employer,
he explained. An organizational
picket protests the use of non
union labor when the employees
themselves want to join the
union.
Although the Carpenters Union
has petitioned the National Labor
Relations Board to conduct an
election among Hickes’ non
union workers, the petition was
denied because the union was
unable to show that at least 30
per cent of Hickes’ men favored
such an election.
The engineers’ spokesman said
that except for one incident,
there has been no hostility from
students on this campus. For the
most part, students have stopped
before the pickets “out of
curiosity;” “they usually want
to know what we’re doing and
why,” he added.
Loaded Question
One male student, however,
spotting one of the pickets’ signs,
asked “Where do you keep the
dynamite?”
The student’s question possibly
referred to the recent bombing
of a dormitory wing under con
struction at the Altoona Campus.
State police are still investiga
ting the explosion.
Last week, a representative of
the carpenters union announced
that group’s offer of a SI,OOO
reward for information leading
[to the apprehension of those re-
I sponsible for the bombing.

USG Letter
Gov.. William W. Scranton
promised to call a special meet
ing of the legislature to take
action on non-preferred state ap
propriations if State Democrats
assure that the necessary votes
for passage will be provided.
“If I receive such assurances,
I shall immediately call a special
session of the legislature to deal
with this subject,” Scranton
promised.
The governor added: “The
leaders of the minority party
stated that they would take this
question before their caucuses
and would report back to me
within a few days.”
Answers Jackson
Scranton’s statement appeared
in a letter wirtten to Undergrad
uate Student Government Presi
dent George Jackson,,in response
to a request made by USG urg
ing the governor to call a spe
cial session of the legislature.
Scranton emphasized that he
had repeatedly urged the pas
sage of the non-preferred appro
priations, but that the Democrats
declined to supply the neces
sary two-thirds majority.
‘Not Undeserved’.
“The members of the Demo
cratic party have not opposed
the appropriation for Penn State
on the ground that this appro
priation is not needed or de
served,” Scranton stressed.
He added that Democratic
party has been somewhat vague
about the reasons for opposing
the appropriation, but that it is
generally understood that they
wish to use it to secure a “deal”
on reapportionment of the State
Legislature.
Otis B. Morse, Democratic
state committee chairman, also
responded to Jackson’s letter
saying that it was the responsi
bility of the governor alone to
call the special session at which
non-preferred appropri a t i o n s
could be considered.
Morse criticized Scranton
stating that “he has shown a
reckless disregard, not only for
The Pennsylvania State Univer
sity, but for hospitals and institu
tions all across the state which
are suffering similarly because
of his obsession with partisan
power politics.”

' Factionalism'
In GOP Hit
By Scranton
HARRISBURG—Gov. William

does not want to see a re

representatives of other possible
Republican nominees who seek
a pledge of commitment from the
state’s GOP delegation.

USG Bill Defines
Functions, Duties
Of Congressmen
The Undergraduate Student Government Congress
will continue tonight concentrating its efforts on amend
ing the constitution and by-laws.
A bill stating that all congressmen maintain weekly
office hours and attend all meetings of the representative
council in their areas will be
voted on tonight.
If passed, a bill defining the
duties of the USG Supreme
Court will require that the
court be the screening body on
all proposed constitutional and
by-laws amendments.
The bill was proposed so less
time would be spent by Con
gress in amending the consti
tution and by-laws.
A final proposal outlines the
duties of the By-Laws Com
mittee. It requires that Con
gress elect the chairman and
approve his appointment of
committee members; half of
them must be members of
Congress.
Passage of the bill would
also require that the chairmen
of the Supreme Court and the
Rules committee sit as ex-of
ficio members of the commit
tee, which will screen all
constitutional and by-laws
amendments and election code
revisions.
This bill will also minimize
the. amount of time spent by
Congress in amending the con
stitution by having the com
mittee limit the number of
bills dealing with constitutional
amendments and elections code
revisions to two per term. •
The By-Laws Committee
would, under the proposal, be
required to review the entire
constitution, by-laws, and elec
tions code once a year if this
bill is passed.

Non-preferred appropriations,
h total $73 million bill, pro-
Waits for Assurance
Of Democratic Help
By DAVID BOLBACH
Editor
HARRISBURG Gov. William W. Scranton said
yesterday he was “hopeful” of getting the non-preferred
appropriations bill through the legislature immediately
following the special session on reapportionment.
But he added that he has not yet been assured full
Democratic support for the bill.
Speaking to a special press
conference for editors of college
newspapers throughout the state,
Scranton said that Charles R.
Weiner, Senate minority leader,
and Anthony J. Petrosky, House
minority leader, have not in
formed him of the results of a
Democratic caucus on the ap
propriations bill.
“I asked them to bring back
comments from the caucus,
which they have not yet done,”
the governor said.
Scranton reiterated his claim
that “reprehensible” conduct by
the Democrats has been respon
sible for the delay in the bill’s
passage
When questioned on the status
of the University, Scranton said
he has always felt that Penn
State is “the” state university
and added that he felt “most of
the legislators also look on it
as the state university.”
No More Clarification
However, he said he did not
feel that the legislature should
attempt to clarify the Univer
sity’s status as a public or pri
vate institution any more than
it has already.
“The present system is pre
ferable to having the University
totally controlled bj' the state
legislature, as at Ohio State
University,” the governor said.
Referring to meetings of the
★ ★ ★
vides funds for state-aided
colleges, universities, hospitals
and institutions. Without these
funds most of the institutions
involved could not continue to
operate.
Since the bill does not in
clude money for priority oper
ations of the state government,
a two-thirds majority is needed
for its passage. The Republi
cans, alone, are not strong
enough in numbers to produce
the measure’s approval.
Defeated Twice
Thus, Democats twice were
able to defeat the bill during
the regular session. They have
admitted that the move was
calculated to help them gain
favorable reapportionment in
the General Assembly.
Republicans adjourned the
regular session over Democra
tic protests, and the appropria
tions' bill was pigeon-holed
along with reapportionment. -
The special session now in
progress was called for Nov. 12
to act on legislative reappor
tionment.
Sends Letters
On Oct. 29 the governor sent
letters to Charles R. Weiner,
Senate minority leader, and
Anthony J. Petrosky, House
minority leader, in which he
offered to include the non-pre
ferred appropriations bill in a
special session if they would
guarantee enough votes to get

300 Students Sign
For Trip to 'Fair'
More than 300 students have
told the Hetzel Union travel
committee they want to see the
1964 World’s Fair in New York
City.
Vera Hess, committee chair
man, said she was both sur
pi'ised and pleased with the
favorable response given to the
committee’s request that inter

“Some people told us we'd

signup,” she said. “But they
were wrong."
The committee expects to be
able to arrange transportation
and accommodations for all
students who expressed an in

Hess said.
Tentative plans call for a
Friday afternoon through Sun
day night excursion the first
weekend in May. Transporta
tion costs are expected to be
about $8 per person and hotel
accommodations should be
about $5 per person per night,
Miss Hess said.

the governor said lie felt it
should have the right to private
meetings just as any large
corporation.
He again suggested that the
board hold meetings two or three
times a year with the student
body to establish a rapport be
tween the two groups.
Open Meetings: ‘Holocaust’
But if the meetings were, open
to the public, he said, the result
would be “a holocaust." ‘ •
Scranton touched bn a wide
range of other subjects including
the state sales tax, the new state
liquor law, the college loan and
s c h o 1 a rship amendment, the
reasons for the defeat of the
constitutional convention refer
endum and the increase in em
ployment and industry in' Penn
sylvania.
Asked if he felt college
operated bookstores should be
exempted from the textbook tax,
the governor said that if the tax
is exempted for college-operated
bookstores, it should be ex
empted for all textbooks, no
matter where they are sold.
Liquor Law
The new liquor law, Scranton
explained, was not aimed at col
lege students in particular but
at all persons under 21.
He called the new law “a step
forward” because it puts “the
legal burden of proof on the
receiver as well as the seller.”
Discussing the college loan and
scholarship amendment recently
passed by the state’s voters,
Scranton said he was glad it re
ceived approval because “both
the national and state govern
ments should be doing a good
deal more than they are for
students.”
He added, however, that the
state will first start out with
the loan program of $425,000
which has already been passed
by the legislature.
Additions After
"We will get this program
going well before any additions
are made,” he said.
The defeat of the constitutional
convention referendum, Scran
ton said, was caused primarily
by two reasons.
The major reason, he said, was
the fear of many persons in
rural areas that a new consti
tution would mean deterioration
of home rule.
He cited a great fear of a
graduated income tax as the sec
ond reason.
Scranton said neither reason
was valid because a new consti
tution would probably mean an
increase in home rule and would
not necessarily mean a gradu
ated income tax.
Greatest Decrease
Commenting on unemploy
ment in Pennsylvania, the gov
ernor said that during the past
year unemployment has made
“the greatest decrease in mod
ern history.”
From January to October, he
said, unemployment decreased
from 9.4 per cent to 6 per cent.
He added that there has been
more new industry in the state
this year than during the last 12
years and more industry ex
pansion than in the last 15 years.
the winter term by placing a
“small” deposit of about $5 with
the committee. At about the
same time, a meeting will be
held to further explain the com
mittee’s plans and the trip out
line.
Miss Hess said the committee
is at work on two other proj
ects related to the World's Fair.
One involves the establishment
of a permanent display in the
HUB, where latest information
on the fair and trip will be
available.
The other project is the com
pilation of job opportunities at
the fair through its conclusion.
Miss Hess explained the com
mittee has entered into exten
sive correspondence in an ef
fort to prepare the most com
plete job directory possible.
At this point, she said, hotel
accommodations will be ar
ranged at the Biltmore and Edi
son. Students will be respon
sible for their own schedule
and expenses while on the trip.
The winter term meeting, is
being designed to answer stu
dents’ questions and provide
information which, will make
the trip as Smooth as possible,
she said.
