No, it's a "sleep-in," as University students pre pared Tuesday night to spend the evening at University Realty, on South Students Stage Allen Street 'Sleep-in' By KATHY LITWAK Collegian Copy Editor .• Fifty University students braved the chill - and risked frostbitten noses as they staged a "sleep-in" for 39 hours on South Allen Street. Passers-by stopped to gape and to shout, "What's the big issue? What are you guys pro : testing?" Wrapped in sleeping bags and blankets and sustained by hot coffee, the sleepers-in shouted back, "Nothing! We're not protesting a thing! We just want to make sure that we get our apartments." The sleep-in, which ended yesterday morn . ' ing, was nothing more than a line of students waiting for the University Realty Company to open its doors Wednesday morning. The realty company, located at 300 S. Allen St., has prepared a list of apartments that will be K. available for the 1968-69 school year. Students ~:.:a......,..._.~.

The committee specified that the reduction must include an actual spending cut of not less than $4 billion during . the year beginning July 1. Because of long-range programs, ap propriations and spending never exactly coincide in any one year. The committee action, adoption of a resolution setting out its intentions, does not guarantee that the tax-economy bill will be passed, or even that it will be submitted in the form outlined. Republicans said they will carry on the fight for deeper cuts, and some Democrats are known to be ready to join them. Nevertheless, the action goes a long way toward meet ing the price' that economy advocates set for a tax increase and it is certain to revive meaningful discussion of a bill that has been bogged down in a Senate-House conference for weeks.

Sampson. #~; r~ °: Appropriations Cut Out of Deadlock * * * Tuiti • n Raise Is Unresolved By GLENN KRANZLEY Collegian Staff Writer Administration officials said yesterday that factors besides the upcoming elections will influence the action of state legislators on the proposed tuition increase and the University's budget. T. Reed Ferguson, director of University relations, and lobbyist for the University in Harrisburg, said other areas of the Pennsyl vania budget, such as teacher's salary in creases and urban improvement programs, will have a bearing on the possibility of a tuition increase. Edward L. Keller, vice president for public affairs, said that the legislature's ac tion cannot begin until Temple University, the University of Pittsburgh, and other state supported schools have their hearings before the House Budget Committee. The University has already completed its hearings. $5B Million In the hearings, the University asked the state for more than $5B million. Gov. Shafer, however, has recommended an amount $2 million below that. If the legislature approves the budget recommended by the Governor, a tuition in crease may be necessary. Keller and Ferguson both said they ex pect the legislature to act on the budget by the middle of July. Ferguson said a delay beyond that time is not likely, since the na tional presidential nominating conventions will begin in August. If the budget proposed by the University is not approved, a tuition increase will not necessarily follow. Keller said that University spending in other areas can be cut back. Last year, Keller said, the budget approved by the legislature was below what the University asked for, and spending for war research was reduced. Keller said that he hopes such a cut back will not be made again. He said though, that it seems research spending is usually the first to be cut. When research spending is regularly cut, Keller said, "You become a static institution;' Another Cut - indications poiiit -t6 another research spending cut, however. The University's bud get was based in part upon the admission of 1,700 new undergraduate students. "And, we can't send them home," Keller said. "They've already been admitted." Therefore, that part of the 1968-'69 Uni versity budget can not be cut. Other areas in __H..~..~..~.. ~~...,._...M..~,,,...~..::.~ which the University is asking for increased appropriations that could be cut are teacher's salaries, maintenance for new buildings, and increased costs for supplies. Ferguson said that President Walker will wait to see what action the other state-sup ported schools take before he decides how the University will meet its budget. According to Ferguson, future budgets may be regulated by a committee-designed formula. This formula would be drawn up by officials of state-supported schools. It would take into account each school's specific needs, such as the number of students, extension and building programs, and research pro grams. Ferguson said such a formula would be beneficial to the University because it would "take politics and human judgement out of the budget." U.S. Wants Floating Talk WASHINGTON (OP) The White House quickly agreed yesterday to an Incloresian proposal to hold preliminary peace talks with North Vietnam aboard an Indonesian cruiser to be sent to Tonkin Gulf. But it would surprise Washington offi cials if Hanoi accepts the floating-site offer. The Reds have already spurned a U.S. sug gestion to meet in Indonesia's capital, Jakarta. Presidential press secretary George Chris tian and other U.S. spokesmen nonetheless gave straight-faced replies when asked about the latest twist in the month of maneuvering over where U.S. and North Vietnamese en voys should meet for their proposed direct talks. Indonesia's foreign minister, Adam Ma lik, said after a cabinet meeting in Jakarta that his country has told the opposing sides it is willing to sail a cruiser to the Tonkin Gulf —lying between the North Vietnamese and Red Chinese coasts—for a meeting site. Malik reported no formal reply arrived yet from either Washington or Hanoi, al though the Communists had indicated they •still prefer - theirproposed sites- - -Phnom Penh, Cambodia or Warsaw.
