“Most legislators vote to aid Penn State for the basic
reason that Penn Slate provides a service to the Commonwealth
and its citizens," said Robert K. Hamilton.
Hamilton, who is Speaker ol (he House of Representatives
in the Pennsylvania General Assembly, spoke to a group of
University students and siaff at the Wesley Foundation, Sun
day night. His topic. "The Role ot the State in Higher Edu
cation "
He lolfl the audience that llie most apparent impact the
stale legislature has on the University is "m dollars and cents."
He said the University gets one third ol its funds trom the
slate legislature and this liscal tact will continue i.\ the future.
Praises University
For more than twenty min
utes Hamilton patted the Uni
versity on the back. He called it
"the best university east of the
Mississippi" and "the keystone
in Pennsylvania's higher echica
cation.” He said parents are
grateful for the service the Uni
versity gives to their children,
fie said the legislature has a
"good deal ol faith in the Uni
versity" because it voles or will
vote io give it nearly 532 million
in aoproprialions.
The legislation, according to
Hamilton, assists the Univer
sity to respond to the education
al demands of the citizens of
Pennsylvania.
Demonstrations Watelieit
Hamilton then went on to
say that "legislators look at
demonstrations in an unusual
fashion. Social unrest makes
problems lor the legislature."
he said. "Since Berkeley, the
General Assembly would be
remiss it it did not consider demonstrations," he said.
Hamilton warned that when there is social disorder, it's
too late for the legislature to do anything about it. The legis
lature's response after a student demonstration "would not
be favorable,” he said.
ROBERT K. HAMILTON
Hamilton then went on to the University's appropriation
bill in the legislature. He said Penn State is the largest single
investment the state makes in education.
In the question and answer period following Hamilton’s
prepared statement, he said the reason Penn State’s money
bill has not been passed is because the appropriations commit
tees’ leadership is involved with tile reapportionment problem
now before the General Assembly.
When asked whv the University’s appropriation bill was
listed third on the House calendar (Temple University's bill to
become a stale university is second.), Hamilton answered:
"Philadelphia has 38 votes in the House."

FOR A BETTER PENN STATE
Trustees Reshuffle: Leave of Absence Granted
By ELLEN BLAKELY
Colleginii Stuff Writer
Although the victory was accom
plished by only a slight margin, it is
still a victory for the students of
Ohio State University.
The nine-member Board of Trus
tees of Ohio State have, after months
of protest and debate, approved a
change in the 14-vear-old speakers ban
ruling. In a four to three vote, the
board abolished the controversial rul
ing requiring administration approval
before organizations could invite
speakers to campus.
The ruling now enables recognized
university organizations to invite any
speaker to campus as long as approval
is given bv the faculty advisor. Pre
vious to this change, the ruling had
left final authority concerning campus
speakers with the president of the
university.
The ruling also forbade inviting
speakers unless they spoke in ‘'the
be-'t and overall interest of the Uni-
Student demonstrations resulted
lasi spring when the Board of Trustees
twice failed to discuss the ruling, after
having promised to do so.
Although the rule was finally
voted upon in July—a vote that re-

ized?"
Brubeck said he learned there are two
kinds of music, good and bad. "There’s a
lot of bad classical, a lot of bad folk, a lot
of bad rock and roll and a lot of bad jazz.”
About lumself, Brubeck was just as
forth-right. "I’m primarily a jazz musician
who is trying to become educated in music.”
Asked what he did to relax, Brubeck
repin-. that “I write music all day. It’s like

the superintendent accepted the 530.000
a-year slate job Sept. 16.
With his resignation, Rackley sent
a request that he be given a leave of
absence from his academic post as pro
fessor of education. The Board granted
the request.
Prc-ident Eric A. Walker explained
the former vice-president would be
''unnecessarily penalized" by losing
continuity in the University’s benefits
program if he lcsigncd from lus aca
demic post.
Similar leaves of absence have
been gi anted to H. Beecher Charm

suited in refusal to change the ruling—
University President Novice G. Fawcett
brought the issue before the board
again, at its September meeting.
Fawcett had been among faculty,
administrative and student leaders de
siring the change. Since the issue was
not on the official agenda for Septem
ber his move was unexpected.
No Ban Here
Penn State ha? no ruling concern
ing the banning nf speakers on cam
pus. However, student objections were
heard last Spring when University
policies required balanced program
ming for the showing of ‘’Point of
Order," a film concerning the Army-
McCarthy hearings of 1954, and for
the showing of a film concerning
"American Atrocities in Viet Nam.”
Ohio State, also, included in its
recent ruling change a statement simi
lar to Penn State's ruling requiring
balanced presentations. Ohio State's
ruling now state? that any “very con
troversial speakers'’ may be asked to
debate speakers with differing views
of special meetings may be planned
so opposing views can be heard.
In requesting balanced presenta
tion, Penn State's ruling provides that
opposing viewpoints can be provided

hear it and it sounds all right, you think
it was worth it."
He called the piano, "a real dog." But

Joe Morello, on drums, spiced the El

And Eugene Wright, on bass, started
one number sounding like a scruffy harp,
before breaking in to “Nobody Knows the

The Quartet was given a standing ova

to give a “soothing'’ encore, from the "Im

entitled, “Catason."
About the scotch and milk; Brubeck said
it was his favorite liquor, but if you really
want to knock him out, give him a glass

during the same meeting, as was done
for the Viet Nam film, or at a separate
meeting.
Film Programed
The McCarthy film. “Point of Or-
del'", after being viewed by University
officials, was programed without the
requirement of a balanced program.
The objections voiced against the
change of the Ohio State ruling were
similar to those objections voiced by
veterans groups concerning the show
ing of the Viet Nam film at Penn State.
Former U.S. Sen. John \V. Bncker,
now a member of the Board of Trus
tees at Ohio State, charged that ‘'Com
munists, Nazis, and Fascists and mem
beis of other subversive organizations”
do not have a right to express their
views on the campus of a tax-supported
University.
Concerning Ihe controversial film
showing at Penn Salle, James Kelley,
public relations man for The United
Veterans Council of Philadelphia, said,
“We don't think a film such as this
is in the best interests of the ‘-tale. We
don't think the Pennsylvania State
University should be showing films
allegedly illustrating the atrocities
committed by American soldiers in
Viet Nam.’’
