VVtu.\coOAY, IxOVcMBkR 24, 1965 Student Letters Register All Sorts of Protest New Yorker Loses Money, Credit, Time TO THE EDITOR: Present ly. I am a seventh term polit ical science major. I am also a Mew Yorker. Rather, this was the situation until I learned about the actions in Ilarrisbuig. Now. I have lost money on loan, work used to earn an all-U. and precious tune. If I remain enioiled at PSU. I lose money I do not pssess. If I transfer, I lose ciedits, time, and a hard earned average. All this is known. All this applies to many others like me. And, all this will likely apply to Pennsylvania stu dents in other states, when other legislatures retaliate in response to the "raw-power politics" now in usel Maybe i will pick up the pieces, maybe not. But even if things are somehow return ed to the way they were (something I sincerely doubt) I and many others have been left a legacy! For as long as I can recall, I have been told the “values" placed upon education and good hard work. Of the "high ideals" vour society holds in regard to learning. I wish to thank (hose of Harrisburg, their supporters, and those in your so-called "society" in Dialogue Shows Contempt TO THE EDITOR: A conversation that I over heard (lie other day went something like this: I,ce: What are you going to do when you graduate from Penn State? Larry: Oh. I ihink I'd like Jo become a member of the Pennsylvania State Legisla ture. Lee: You can’t do that. Larry: Why not? Lee: Because you will have a college education. Larry: I won't fell anybody. Lee: But you usually make sound and wise decisions. Larry: I'll work at making unfair and simple-minded de cisions. Lee: But you also rarely think about yourself. Larry: I'll start watching out for me and forget about other people. Lee: But how can you ever advance yourself? Larry: I can always vote myself a raise; and besides, I can set my own hours, work about three days a week, and it really doesn't lake any. in telligence at all. Leo: I'm disappointed—l thought you were going to make something out of your self. H. Glenn Ziegenfuss, '66 Write Walker TO THE EOrTOR: During (he past few months there has been a movement in the Pennsyl vania legislature to lower tui tion for Pennsylvania students at this university. Because we are all in favor of lower tuition wherever possible, there has not been much to talk about . . . until now! It seems that the legislature of the state of Pennsylvania is not satisfied with lowering the tuition of Pennsylvania residents, if also expects out of state students to nay the difference. Tlie administration of Penn State has come out against this clause raising out of state tuition, but the legislature has not heeded. Is this what the out of state students want? Do Pennsyl vania students feel this is fair? I have written a letter to Presi dent Walker requesting him to ? ’ E ''"ETtarttaii? jKIEf. for Customer Service Elio.

Despite all the Josses, I have indeed gained a valuable lesson I’m not about to forget, not for a long time. No, this letter is not writ ten in anger. It is an irration al essay of frustration, con fusion and. in the final analy sis, sheer hatred! No apologi es, no excuses. —Robert Drulman, 67 An Open Letter Prexy Walker TO THE EDITOR: As you are an employee of this state and the official spokesman for the University and its in terests, f am passing on my concerns to you in hopes that you will utilize your capaci ties to initiate tile necessary action for halting an impend ing injustice. The prejudiced $lOO per term tuition increase for out of state students smacks not only of additional undeserved financial burden tor these students but also of political chicanery. The original justi fication, as I understand it, concerning higher tuitions for non-Pennsylvanians s ferns from the idea of tax equaliza tion (or perhaps I should say shifting or spreading since I can see no equality of finan cial contribution in this case.) I firstly purport, therefore, that the original tuition dif ference didn't have, and as yet does not have, a mathe matically justifiable base. $lOO Per Term Ires Senior TO THE EDITOR: As an out of-state student, I am par ticularly concerned with the one-hundred dollar increase in my tuition per term. It is not the financial strain this increase causes me that war rants mv writing this letter. What troubles me is the hoax that the Pennsylvania Legis lature has perpetrated on both the citizens of this Common wealth and the out-of-state students at Penn State. When the proposal for a de crease in tuition arose some time ago, 1 was in complete agreement with that decrease only effecting in-state stu dents. After all. it was re vealed (hat the taxpayers of Pennsylvania would finance such a move, and it is only just that the taxpaying par ents receive (he benefits of a project they themselves would be supporting. Yesterday, the legislature instituted s fuition decrease of $25 per term for in-state students that is to be financed by a $lOO increase per term in the tuition of out-of-state students. It is not fair to have, the Commonwealth of Penn- 1 sylvania force us to finance a project that should be paid for by the taxpayers of this state. I did not come to Penn State to divide SIOO a term among four Pennsylvania residents so that the legisla ture could take credit for it! C. Kenneth Wilson, '66 Collegian Receives Flood of Letters Como gets letters and letters and letters. The Daily Collegian gets more than he does, or at least it received more puzzled, irate epistles about the Legislature’s tuition hike bill and sundry other things in the last week than Como has gotten since his weekly show was cancelled. With that in mind, here are some of the many, many letters the Collegian has received in the last week. It is unfortunate that time and space do not allow all the letters to be printed before the term ends. Says Tuition Hike Prejudice Unless proven otherwise, I will conclude, using my com mon sense and my limited mathematical mind, that even the original difference was higher than an equitable rate. Let’s face the facts: It may soon cost an entering fresh man SI2OO more to complete his education than it cost this fall’s graduating senior. This additional cash stumbling block (surely not a small one) was provided for these stu dents through that wonderful bill contracted in Harrisburg to relieve the university and its students (Pennsylvania) financially. Well, now, was not the public demanding— in fact screaming—for this re lief for poor old Pennsylvan ia? Make no mistake about it, for they were.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, UNIVERSITY PARK, PENNSYLVANIA justify the means. Reflect a moment on the harrowed con tractors of this bill. I can al most hear their sagacious minds singing in unison their vexation . . . "How can we give them money? Oh, how? Oh, how, can we give them money without hurling our fellow citizens? Oh, how their tears must have rolled until Harry Gung-Ho Harrisburg saved the hour with a neat little stipulation. "To save face, to save money, and to save our reelection, gentle men, let us arbitrarily raise the foreigners' tuition," cried Harry. Bravo. The consequences should be more evident than the in justices. Glorious Penn Stale, literally spewing its .expan sion over Centre County, will be shocked when it loses some of its better students.

For Good Results Use Collegian Classifieds f Appalled By Hike TO THE EDITOR: As non residents enrolled as full-time students at this University, we are appailed and disillusioned with the recent actions of the state legislature concerning the increases and decreases in tuition. It seems to us that this action will directly affect the caliber and operation of the University. We feel that the tuition increase will only serve to discourage promising stu dents from other states and countries from attending Penn sylvania's stale university. H’e can only interpret this movement as an attempt to ities becomes even more so, its offer of education to high school graduates, to say the least, could be prohibitive. While in (he past Penn State has frequently fattened itself on out of state students (both brains and brawn), it must now be content to have only smart, squandering non-resi dents instead of just smart ones. You must realize, sir, that we students who do not live in Pennsylvania form an im portant vertebra in the back bone of P.S.U. To crack or to displace us financially will cause much pain to our school as well as fo us. I ask you. as a student interested not only in my wallet and my aca demic endeavors but also in the future of Penn State, to fake up our banner, carry it to Harrisburg, and squelch this inequity.
