vote o| confidence m the University
by both house- of the Legislature
and by the executive oft ice." Presi
dent Eric A. Walker <aid.
He expressed particular pleasure
over the tuition reduction for Penn
sylvania students. He had asked tin
succcsstully, however, that the pro
vision raising out-01-state tuition to
three times the m-stale rate be elimi

gested that the amount be set at
double the in-slate rate, or instead

Scranton Details Text Tax,
Tuition Hike for Students
By TIM SHAFFER
Collegiftn Stnjj Writer
Gov. William W. 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

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.” ■'
