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.
Norris said Oswald and the Uni

By GARY MAYK
Collegian City Editor
Gov. 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.

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."
"Malcolm Man Don't Live Here No Mo"
and "Sister' Sonji" to her credit.
Muhammad Kenyatta will kick off
the events of the Black Arts Festival.
A civil rights worker from Phila
delphia. Kenyatta will speak at 2 p.m.
tomorrow in the HUB Assembly Room
on the topic "The Role of the Black
Church in the Black Liberation Move
ment."
He again will be on campus when
he speaks on the subject "Black Com
munity Control of Institutions and Ser
vices," at 2 p.m. Monday in the HUB
Ballroom.
A longtime civil rights advocate,
Kenyatta was among the organizers of
the first Headstart program in Missis
sippi in 1966. He latter became a mem
ber of the national steering committee
of the National Black Economic De-
meeting of the GSA Council next Tues
day. 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.

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."

Oswald said he had asked the com
mittee to determine whether the Uni

physicians practicing in the area would
accept a University initiated health care
program, the need for facilities, man

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

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

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.

. During the course of ,the meeting,
'Oswald was asked about the Unver

Hosier. dean of the College of Earth
and Mineral Sciences. An automobile
Hosier was driving struck Heidi M.

during an antiwar rally.
Miss Setz accused the Administra

Administration is going to stop treat

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

A representative from the Students

Concerning the question of a pos
