University programs may be jeopardized By DOUG STRUCK Collegian Managing Editor Expansion of the Educational Op portunities Program, new academic pro grams and pay increases for University faculty may be among planned pro grams that either will have to be funded by an increase in student tui tion rates or have to be dropped en tirely. Chalmers 'G. Norris, University budget officer, told The Daily Colle gian yesterday those programs were in possible jeopardy as a result of Penn sylvania Gov. Milton J. Shapp's pro posed state budget allocation to the University of 581,205,000. The proposed appropriation. which must pass the legislature before be coming reality, represents an increase of only Sl2 million from the University appropriation for the current fiscal year. This is considerably less than re quested by the University to fund new educational programs. according to Uni versity President John W. Oswald. He announced Wednesday that some pro grams "essential to the development of the University have been deferred." Norris did not say how .large an appropriation increase was in the budget submitted to Shapp by the .University. but indicated it was "rough ly double" the increase finally proposed by the Governor. This request, however, reflected a reimbursement for budget increases desired for the present fiscal year. The 1969-70 appropriations by the state were not changed for the current fiscal year, disappointing University officials planning new and expanded programs for 1970-71. New Students Norris said that the increase in ap propriations. if passed by the legisla ture, would be used primarily for in creased expenses necessitated by new students. He said he expects an addi tional 2,500 to 3,000 students will he' enrolled at University Park during the coming academic year. Norris said the increased enroll ment would necessitate approximately $4 million in direct salaries for addi tional teaching faculty. Maintenance and operational expenses resulting from opening of new buildings to accommo date the larger student body would re quire approximately $2 million. An increase in state retirement benefits for faculty and staff would re quire $1 million in the next fiscal year, Norris estimated, and an additional SI million would be used for increases in unemployment compensation tax, insur ance and legal costs. S 4 Million These expenses, totaling roughly $8 million, would leave less than s•t mil lion for new programs. - We must either find the money (for these new pro grams) or not do them," Norris said. Among the planned- programs which may have to be reappraised is student aid. A request for $l.B million specially earmarked for EOP expansion was not included in the budget appro priation released by Shapp. The University's request was to 'subsidize an additional 500 EOP stu dents. This expansion, Norris said, now mt-st be reconsidered, and funds will have to be raised from other sources in order to go ahead with the increased EOP services. Library Facilities Other areas which may suffer cut backs will be expanded library facili ties 'and services, and a general pay increase for faculty. Oswald noted Wednesday faculty salaries are already low in comparison with other colleges and universities. Plans for new .academic programs costin $3 million probably will be dropped, Norris said. He indicated that plans to replace old programs with new ones, instead of simply adding such programs, require long-term planning. "We obviously can't come up with such befere June," he said.

Milton J. Shapp yesterday announced that he will appoint a stu dent to one of two University Board of Trustees positions ne..t. month. Shapp's announcement came after the Governor delivered the opening ad dress to the University's Renaissance Festival, of which he is honorary chair man. Speaking to an estimated crowd of 900 on Old Main Lawn, Shapp said he was following through on a state ment made last spring when visiting the University. He first expressed his interest in a student trustee at that time. In a Daily Collegian interview fol lowing his address, Shapp said he is seeking ''either a sophomore or a junior." The student trustee will serve a three-year term. His choice will come from five recommendations. A contingent of stu dent representatives will meet with Shapp next Thursday to discuss the plan. The student representatives have not been named. PSU studying possible program for health care •rn Benciv.ngs At that time she will present a poetry reading. Earlier the same day, at 2 p.m. in the Hetzel Union Building Ballroom, Miss Sanchez will conduct a black poetry workshop. Widely Published Miss Sanchez's poetry has appeared in magazines such as "Negro Digest." and "The Journal of Black Poetry." "Homecoming," published in 1969 and "We a Baddd People," published last year. are two books of poetry written by Miss Sanchez. She is also a noted playwright with three plays—" The Bronx is Next."

He indicated that several stu dents already have expressed an inter est in running for the Graduate Coun cil. James B. Barton. dean of the Grad nate School. said that he wav "very happy" with the outcome of the ballot. He pointed out that the vote was the product of work initiated a year ago, when a survey of the graduate faculty by the Friedman Committee indicated approval of non-voting student partici pation. During hearings of The Friedman Committee, a strong appeal for full student voting privileges was made. At a meeting of the Graduate Council in April, the bill was modified, to pro vide the option of representation with or without voting rights. These alter natives comprised the ballot which was voted upon by the members of the Graduate Faculty. University Park, Pa., Saturday Morning. MaY 15, 1971 Community Control Shapp gave no indication of what will be dune to fill the other appoint ment he makes to the Board this year. Shapp will appoint six trustees during his term of office.' He said he wants to wait to see how the first student trustee works out before committing himself to naming another next year. "'l'd rather hold my options on that," he asserted. The Governor also commented on the controversial issue of the student's right to register and vote in districts where he attends school. "I don't know the attorney general's office is going to justify" not allowing this after actions taken by the Census Bureau, he said. Opposition John Pittinger. legislative aide to Shapp, said there would be opposition to an attempt to legalize the student vote in college districts. "I think that move would have strong legislative support." he commented. Speaking of the Renaissance Festi val, Shapp noted that it is "the first program conceived by students with full support of the administration." Shapp called the step a "major change" and added he was "certainly delighted." at least three months before the com mittee could make preliminary recom mendations. Oswald said he had asked the com mittee to determine whether the Uni versity family. the community and physicians practicing in the area would accept a University initiated health care program, the need for facilities, man poNN er. financial requirements, avail able public funds and possible opera tional arrangements between such exist ing units as the Centre Community Hospital. Ritenour Health Center. and the Hershey Medical Center. 'This is a study of options." he Oswald stressed the desirability of combining health education and health care resources to assist in training new personnel in an area that he termed one of the most critical of all the areas of human service. He pointed out that health care programs often developed in advance of having a 'supply of trained manpower available to carry them out effectively. HOPS suspension discussed by Oswald in Simmons Hall By 'JOYCE KIRSCHNER and JOHN W . EAGR.AFF Collegian Staff Writers Exchanges between University President John W. Oswald and students at a rap-in last night in Simmons Hall concentrated on the question of whether or not the Administration has the au thority to suspend the privileges of "The Other Vision: Homophiles of Penn State." during the investigation of the organization. Oswald said the Undergraduate velopment Conference held in Detroit Michigan in 1969. Today he is the na tional administrative vice-chairman and executive director of BEDC in the Greater Philadelphia area. The last speaker to be presented as part of the Black Arts Festival will be Dana Chandler. Role of Black Artist He will speak on the role of the black artist in American society, at 4 p.m. next Saturday in the HUB As sembly Room. Chandler is an artist noted for his large murals found on the sides of buildings in Boston. part of what he calls "a black museum in the inner city." Chandler says the white art world has "destroyed a lot of black artists by trying to make them conform to aesthetics. They aren't going to do that to me. Our aesthetics are black ori ented." Talent, Art Incorporated with the Black Arts Festival will be the black talent and art show. The show will feature the talent of black students at the Univer sity in music, dance, poetry. drama and fashion. Among the events for this program, scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Monday and Tuesday in Schwab will be the Festi val Choir, consisting of 40 voices in a presentation of religious and spiritual music. Also a dance program, with stu dents dancing to music by Nina Simone and others, is slated. According to Iva E. Johnson. co ordinator of the black talent and art show. "This week was the first time we brought it all together. It's been kind of exciting seeing each group prac tice separately, and watching the whole program take shape as one." Exhibit An exhibit including painting. sculpture. photography, and crafts will be on display for the duration of the Black Arts Festival in the lounge of the HUB. Included in the art exhibit will be works by black artists from Philadel phia, Pittsburgh. New York. Washing ton. D.C. and black students at Penn State. Commenting on the purpose of the art exhibit Addle M. Jackson (12th-art education-Pittsburgh). chairman of the Art Committee for the Black Arts Fes tival said. "We realize the urgent need to eradicate the void of helplessness and lack of self-confidence that has been imposed on us by a systematic devalu ation of our rich heritage." She con tinued. "To accomplish this, we have been bringing to the forefront the hitherto unseen talent of our brothers and sisters in the Festival." Shapp lauded the Renaissance Fund and Festival as major steps in helping disadvantaged men and wom en achieve equal opportunity in modern society. Major Step The Renaissance Fund is "a major step toward helping society fulfill its needs for the future." Shapp said. "It is a hopeful step toward triggering similar programs across the country so that we may open up opportunity for all society's disadvantaged." Shapp asked the students, faculty and administration of the University to support the Fund, calling the Renais sance concept "the awakening of society to its true responsibility to bring all —Photo by Dom Bencivenga Frank Kameny charges "benighted bigot" Raymond 0.

"Chartering of a University organization does not in clude the use of University facilities," he said. Delbert McQuaide,• the University's lawyer. is investigating the legality of the charter to determine •if it is in keeping with present state statutes. ac cording to Oswald. "Until I ascertain whether there are legal conflicts the. use of facilities will be suspended," he added. Members of HOPS argued the point that similar organizations had been in stituted at other campuses throughout the state and questioned the Univer sity's reluctance to accept the legality of such an organization. Rules Unclear "I have not said it (the charter) is not legal." Oswald stated, adding that University rules concerning this subject were unclear. Oswald expressed a desire for a more explicit set of rules. Diane Whitney. HOPS vice presi dent, said. "We are going to push and push until the rules are perfectly clear, and every organization is behind us." She added that HOPS would be pre pared to take the University to court. Concerning another topic, Jan Levenberg. town USG senator, noted that a majority of the USG senators do not support a letter proposing that the student body consist of at least 30 per cent veterans and disadvantaged students. The letter was submitted by representatives from the Equal Op portunity Program. Organization of Town Independent Students. Veteran's Organization and Associated Student Activities for consideration by the USG. A heated discussion ensued in which members of EOP and the Vet eran's Organization condemned Leven berg's suggestion that admissions be based on the "merit system." James Garner. a member of the Black Student Union. charged that Levenbcrg failed to realize that equal opportunities are not offered to all in dividuals at the high school level. Admission to the University should be conducted on the basis of one's poten tial. Garner said. Governor's proclamation By its very definition, the cord Renaissance signifies a rebirth or renewal of life with major emphasis on fresh and new horizons. The newly-conceived Renais sance Festival at The Pennsylvania State University seeks to reach this goal through a program of culture and discussion to awaken society to its responsibility to bring all mem bers of the community Into the main sticant of life. The Renaissance Festieal is a cooperative venture of stucknts. fac ulty, administrators and toe nspeo ple. blending already e , tabli.thed programs such as Colloquy the Black Arts Festival and Spring R•eei: into one common cause, focusing atten tion on the problems and needs of the disadvantaged. . One of the projects of the Ren aissance Festival is to bring 70 dis advantaged high school students to Penn State for the entire week in an effort to let them actually participate in programs and workshops and to experience personally the cultural achievements of the endeavor. One of the artistic ',ighlig,hts of members of the community into the mainstream of Although. according to Shapp, the Renaissance Fund is much done in helping the disadvantaged. he added "there so much more which needs to be done. - Shapp pledged. "And Penn sylvania is going to do it." The Governor hated a number of programs needed to aid disadvantaged obtain a college education. He stressed transition and tutoring programs to help urban poor. who find that "quality in education is lacking" State financial aid programs help those who face money problems. Shapp said. "We are pouring more and more (Continued 017 Page Three) Oswald said he was unaware of such a letter as yet but noted there is a Veteran's Advisory Committee work ing for special programs for veterans. "We want to provide them with a first class education and with special pro grams to help them get ahead," he said. Rally Accident . During the course of ,the meeting, 'Oswald was asked about the Unver sity's position in the case of Charles L. Hosier. dean of the College of Earth and Mineral Sciences. An automobile Hosier was driving struck Heidi M. Setz (9th-journalism-Upper Dar by) during an antiwar rally. Miss Setz accused the Administra tion of "kicking her name around" as though she vs•ere a problem and not a person. "I want to know when the Administration is going to stop treat ing me as a second class citizen," she said. According to Miss Setz the Ad ministration had not followed the case up properly and had not contacted her parents following the accident. Oswald said he was unaware that her parents had not been contacted, added that the University contacts par ents of students only in crucial situ ations. Standards Board A representative from the Students Standards Board pointed out that "Loco parentis is assumed by the Univesity, and is only when the University can sciew the student." The representative noted that there is an off-campus stu dent standards which should have han dled _the case instead of the police. Oswald said the incident occurred off campus and was being investigated by the police. Answering charges of double Jeopardy. he said the Univer sity has the right to imitate civil charges to maintain an educational atmosphere. Concerning the question of a pos sible tuition increase Oswald said, "It's a matter of what monies arc available from the state and determining the absolute cost of running the Univer sity." The president said he was not in favor of placing the financial load on the students and was, "very con- (Contanucd on Page Thre.e) the Festival will be an exhibition of 200 paintings and pieces of art work done entirely by disadvantaged stu dents themsels es, capturing on can vas and paper what the word and concept Renaissance means to them.

The Renaissance Festival ulti mately hopes to trigger similar pro grams across the country so that all disadvantaged students can get help. Therefore, 1, Milton Shapp, Governor of the Commonwealth of Pennsylv.mia, do hereby clots c the week of May 14 through 23. 1971, as Renaissance Week in Pennsylvania, coinciding with the dates of the Renaissance Festival.
