Scranton told a group of some 300 student journalists Dec. 8 that he opposed the repeal of the five per cent sales lax on textbooks for two rea-ons. The December meeting was the Gover nor's Annual Collegiate Press Conference which was held at the Capitol Building in Harrisburg. First, according to the Governor, was the "budgetary problem." The second was the difficulty in determining what was a textbook and what was a textbook store, he said, in comparison to other book stures. "It was most people's opinion—both those who would have to administer it and the legal people—that we would have a holo caust . . . and probably end up in the courts as a very real problem," Scranton said. He noted, however, that his legal de partment is still working on the problem. Scianton was questioned for an hour by students from 42 colleges and universities around the Commonwealth. 'Unfortunate' Hike In response to h question concerning the leecnt tuition hike for out-of-state stu dents attending state supported institutions, Scranton said . . in a wav. this is un fortunate." He added, however, "I can see a lationale for a differentia) between Penn sylvania's resident students, and those that are not, because we are having a hard enough time finding places in our colleges for Penn sylvania students." - He said he didn't know what the ra tionale was that motivated the Stale Legis lature to raise out-of-stale rates, but said lie signed the bill, "because it decreased the Pennsvlvanians’ tuition so much, which was FRIDAY, JANUARY 7, 1966 of attbnrne tioops to students of the University for their Christmas greetings, noting that "the tune and double nnolvud m lilts kind and thoughttul gestuie \sete no doubt staggering " In a project, "Operation Christ mas Caid."

"Some of the men—llio-e who have an address lo which lliet can reply—will send their persona] Ihanks." lie said. "The raids with their messages of support, encour agement and good cheer are deeply anprecialed.” in line with what we suggested." When asked if lie expected other states lo raise (heir tuitions in retaliation, the Governor said there was a "possibility" since “they are having as much struggle as we are to meet the new student populations in their states." Community Colleges He also promised considerable increases in aid to the community college system. ", . . as wt get more community colleges, we are mandated to do certain things for them, which will increase the amounts of money appropriated for them. My best guess is that as time goes on and the community college system grows, as I’d like lo see it grow, there would be a necessity lor in creases." When asked whether he I bought Repub lican Congressman Richard Schweikcr would make a good Governor, Scranton replied that he would make a good candidate. He added that there is "a very large number of excellent candidates" for the gubernatorial nomination on the Republican ticket. He made special note of the "very good job" 1.1. Gov. Raymond P. Shafer has done over the past three rears. Shater’s name has been frequently mentioned as a nominee. As for his own political future after he leaves otfire at the end of tills vear, Scranton said lie has not made any plans. "If I start worrying and talking with people about my next job. whalever it may be, I will nol do the present job the way I want to." he said. The Governor said he plans to lake a vacation because “anyone in a difficult ad ministrative job. which the governorship of a big .-tale is. needs a period of regeneration of though! and mind, and I'm going lo have il because il's coming lo me and I’d be gald to have it.” ■'
