Editorial opinion:
The only solution
University students will find an
extra $l5 included in their bill for
tuition beginning Fall Term.
The University Board of
Trustees has found it necessary to
increase Penn State tuition $45 a
year, bringing the grand total to
$9OO.
Complaints are sure to come
from parents and students facep
with paying s4s a year for
tuition and an additional $45 for
housing for those in the dorms.
No one likes to pay more ,for
tuition. It hurts the students who
must pay the extra $l5 a term. And
it hurts the University, which
receives fewer applicants.
But perhaps students should be
thankful that the increase is only
$l5. Faced with the low priority of
education in the state and national
governments, the trustees had few
alternatives.

Disregarding world protests,

Atoll in the South Pacific.
The governments of Australia,
New Zealand, "'Ecuador, Chile,
Columbia, Peru and Bolivia all
have protested France's policy of
continued above-ground nuclear
testing. They contend the danger
of fallout contaminating the South
Pacific' outweighs any nebulous
French claims to "national
security."

recommends that Penn State's
tuition be raised to $l,OOO per
year.
University President John W.
Oswald, however, said he felt a
$ll5 increase would work too
much of a hardship on students
now'attending the University.
. Instead, Oswald plans a gradual
tuition increase to $l,OOO a year
over the next three years.
Although the proposed $l5-per
term increase is not attractive to
present and prospective Penn
State students, it is certainly
betfer than a sudden jump to
$l,OOO ' that could force some
students to drop out. ;
The increase authorized Friday
has been planned since Sep
tember, when President Oswald
included it in the University’s
budget request to Gov. Shapp.
The total request was $89.9
million.
Nuclear France:
wrong direction
priority to nuclear weapons
research that runs into the billions
of francs.
Even stranger has been the U.S.
government’s silence about the
testing. Although a signatory of
the 1963 treaty to ban atmospheric
nuclear testing, the United States
has largely ignored French testing
and the resulting fallout question.
France has seen fit to ignore an
interim injunction .placed on the
tests by the International Court of
Justice at The Hague, citing,
“national security.”
But is the "national security” of
France more important than the
world security derived- from an
Although Penn State ap
propriations have not yet been
approved by the _ General
Assembly, the University can
expect to receive only $B6 or $B7
million. Yet Oswald has held firm
to the sls-per-term- increase
initially proposed.
The real blame for tuition in
creases rests not with the
University but with public officials
who place funding for higher
education low on their list of
priorities. . ’ ■ j
The trend in education should
be toward a uniformly low level,
not a uniformly high level as
proposed by the master plan for
higher education.
The public must make govern
ment officials on the state and
national levels aware that
education is of a higher priority.
Perhaps then the trustees can
announce a lowering of tuition
instead of an increase.
unpolluted ocean ; and at
mosphere?
There is clearly some doubt in
,the minds of many scientists that
the French atmospheric nuclear
testing is a wise or safe action.
Mururoa Atoll is to be the site of
five more nuclear explosions in
this current series of French
tests—five more chances for the
government of France to pollute
the world’s environment.
France traditionally has strived
to bfe the world’s eader. Perhaps
by putting the world’s, secwjty
before her own, she can obtain
that leadership.

Oh, no! The Osmonds have gone
heavy!
Worse yet, the Osmonds tried to go
heavy.
Many groups, such as the Beatles and
the Who, have tried to change their
music styles from superficial top-40
music to music with,more feeling and
deeper meanings. Such groups have
experimented with intricate recording
techniques and a'’ variety of musical
instruments. Many groups succeeded.
The Osmonds tried and failed.
"The Plan," their latest attempt at
music, - is a collection of songs intended
to tell the story of the creation and end
of man. !
The majority of the cuts are very poor
in musical structure and lyrical content.
All the songs are composed and played
by, the Osmonds—which doesn't say
much for the quality of; instrumentation.
The Osmonds are not noted for their
musicianship.
The first cut on the first side, "War in
Heaven," is introduced by the sound of
bqlls. There is no set musical pattern
and it seems as if the Osmonds are
attempting to use some of the sound
effects heard in the Beatles’ “A Day in
the Life.”

REVIEW
The next three songs on the first side
are followed by extremely short
vignettes, a term which Webster’s
dictionary defines as “relatively short
illustrations '.used to represent, as in
lyrical compositions, artistic sketches."
I believe fVIr. Webster also has
something jo say about the word
■"exaggeration.” The Osmonds are not
artistic. The vignettes add nothing to the
songs
" fine cut on the first side will offend
any Beatle fan. It seems the Osmonds
are trying to effect a song which sounds'
like “Little Piggies" on the Beatles’ white
album. This] song, “Movie Man" is
complete witji harpsichord. What a thing
to do to a harpsichord!
