Dean: PSU quality is improving ,By HARRY GLENN 'gaily Collegian Staff Writer A University dean says the quality of education is improving, despite cut backs in the University's budget. Stanley F. Paulson, dean of the college of the Liberal Arts, said the college's education is improving because the faculty members hired for 1977 are of a higher quality. "We are able to get more people who come from better progkams and are More outstanding," Paulson said. "We are able to get these people because there are more PhD's and less job Openings. , . "For this reason, I think things are better now then they were." The College of the Liberal Arts has not been exempt from budget cutbacks. Paulson said each of the colleges had to provide a part of their budget for the ;University's budget needs. "That meant both the central college and departments' budgets had to be 'examined to determine funds that could be provided," Paulson said. In order to cut costs, Paulion said, the Joint committee begins energy work WASHINGTON (UPI) A House- Senate conference committee reached its ,first compromise yesterday on conflicting versions of new energy legislation, agreeing to let homeowners pay off home in sulation loans through their monthly utility bills. Committee members, trying to clear away the least controversial issues first, left open the question of whether electric and gas utilities themselves can make loans or in New York Concorde fight over NEW YORK (UPI) The Anglo • French Concorde supersonic jetliner swept to a picture-perfect landing on its first test flight to New York yesterday, making little more noise than subsonic planes that crowd the busy Kennedy Airport. Curiously quiet, too, were the clusters of middle-class communities that surround the marshy approaches to the field and which waged a 19-month fight against landing rights for the con troversial plane. The sleek craft with its droopy nose descended across Jamaica Bay and touched down on runway 4-Left at 11:06 a.m. • ' The plane was about as noisy as any other aircraft that lands at Kennedy, except for a high-pitched whine, which Better partly sunny today, high 58.

Paulson also said the college has been unable to hire some temporary help. "By not filling these faculty positions, we have had to reassign and offer . some courses less than before," Paulson said. "In some cases this affects the student's scheduling flexibility." However, Paulson said, the college has tried to retain all the essential courses. "We had hoped to do some new things within the budget this year," Paulson said. Two of the new programs the college had planned have been victimized by the financial situation including the college's internship program. "There has been great interest ex pressed in the internship program," Paulson said. "It would allow students to get work experience in their major and would open up future job opportunities. "The college's student council has taken a survey that shows the program would be welcomed by the students. But sulation purchases or install in sulation as the House proposed. They ruled, however, that loan payments can be included in utility bills whether or not the utility provided the money if the customer, the lending institution and the utility all agree. Interest rates, they said, must be "fair and reasonable" and the utility may charge a small collection service fee. Despite its agreement on billing procedures and a few other minor could be heard as it began its final descent at a speed of 160 mph. There were no protest demonstrations, but hundreds of motorists around the airport pulled their cars off the road ways to get a glimpse of the plane. Hundreds more stood on nearby roof tops, and some even cheered as the plane glided to earth. But the battle of the Concorde did not appear to be over. Many residents of surrounding communities, while conceding the landing noise of the Concorde was not worse than subsonic jets using the airport, reserved judgement, noting that the plane's noise on takeoff was con siderably greater. Anti-Concorde groups said they were resigned to the test landings, but plan to file suit against the federal government within a week to prevent future Con corde landings anywhere in the United States. The Concorde has been landing at Dulles Airport near Washington since May 1976. .."'" • .# ‘t‘ we don ' t have the moneS , to do it." Paulson said the : college has . been shifting the responsibility of the in ternship program to individual staff members and departments. "Shifting the responsibility of the program is less effective than if we could use funds from our budget," Paulson said. The internship program has been in the planning stages for 1 1 / 2 years. Paulson said the faculty and depart ments in the college still want to go ahead with the program, but it hasn't developed yet. Like the internship program, a fresh man seminar program has also been cut because of a lack of funding. The program was planned to give the fresh men a chance to work with some of the college's more advanced scholars. "We have no way of arranging the freshman seminar program because it requires some funding," Paulson said. Paulson said it is true that the faculty members have been unable to work with students on a closer basis. "We are going to have to look for other conservation items, the. 36-member committee spent much of its second day of action bogged down in _debate over issues its staff had expected to see resolved quickly. It adjourned after four hours of work, locked in an impasse over whether customers should pay separately when utilities inspect their homes for conservation needs or .whether as the Senate wants states should be able to make all customers share inspection costs. Wednesday's flight was the first of a month of test flights planned by British Airways and Air France before the scheduled Nov. 22 start of regular commercial service on the New York transatlantic market. Three-and-a-half hours earlier, the Concorde had taken off from Saint Martin field near Toulouse in south western France and cruised across the Atlantic at a speed of 1,350 mph. "Now we've got it down, all we have to do is keep it here," said John Meeks, a Concorde lobbyist in Washington who came to New York to witness the test flight. British Consul General Gordon Booth, who witnessed the landing, said, "It is not a sense of elation so much as it is one of fulfillment." ' The Concorde's right to land in New York was blocked for 19 months by a series of court battles and public demonstrations by New Yorkers who thought the noise levels of the supersonic jet would make their lives intolerable.

"We have a large number of student organizations that allow the students to have contact with faculty members." Paulson said that at the request of the University the college is reviewing programs for next year. "The University is compelled to cut back its funding for various colleges," Paulson said. "So we are being asked to plan how to do better with less. "We are going along with the general University plan. Their projections of state appropriations and the Univer sity's costs indicates we are not going to have as much for support. We are going to have limited resources." Paulson said the college, which enrolls the most students and employs the most faculty members in the University, has a heavy teaching load from other colleges which they have had to plan for. "In a sense, because of our size, we carry a heavier burden when cuts are made," Paulson said. "However, in some cases we are able to make ad justments easier than other colleges."

Ni r. . - W 202 PATTEE Tax be worked out HARRISBURG ( AP) Senate , Democrats, split over whether to in crease taxes, agreed yesterday to look for a compromise most members could support. Leaders said they would re-examine the budget for fat after Republicans and a seven-member Democratic faction were on the verge of pushing through $46 million in budget cuts. The no-tax forces won a key 25-23 vote overruling Lt. Gov. Ernest Kline, Senate president, who said that their amendments were out of order. Before the amendments were voted, Democrats agreed to caucus and the compromise was announced. Senate Democratic floor leader Henry Messinger said the personal income tax may still have to go up from 2 per cent to 2.1 per cent and the corporate net in come tax from 9.5 to 10.5 per cent. His predecessor, Sen. Thomas Nolan, a no-tax advocate, said the caucus won't support higher personal income taxes. He said he favors the business tax in crease. Some middle position is to be prepared by next week. The Shapp administration and legislative leaders have pushed for $3OO million in new taxes to pay for aid to state-related universities and in stitutions. 'The bills are called non preferreds because they' are of a lower priority than regular spending bills. The Senate voted yesterday on the remaining ones. ' But there doesn't seem to be enough support in either house for a $3OO million tax increase. Korea gets with buying WASHINGTON (UPI) House ehtics counsel Leon Jaworski yesterday ac cused the Korean government of trying. "to 'buy off' American congressmen," and witnesses said Seoul's former ambassador himself carted wads of $lOO bills up to Capitol Hill. Telephoto At the House Ethics Committee's first public hearings into the covert lobbying operation, Jaworski said he will not name any suspected payoff recipients for quite a while but has enough evidence now to show money was offered and the South Korean regime was behind it. "The testimony and documents fo — be brought out will .. . lead to the reasonable inference that money was intended to be paid, and may in fact have been paid, to members of Congress," Jaworski said in his opening statement. He said also evidence will show that Tongsun Park, the fugitive Korean businessman accused of running the bribery effort, claimed great success in influencing congressmen, Although that assertion may have been exaggerated. Laying out his case like a prosecuting attorney, Jaworski then introduced witnesses, including two former Korean government officials, who described a payoff operation conducted by the Korean CIA through the Washington embassy starting in 1972 or 1973. They included Kim Sang Keun, once the KCIA's No. 2 Washington agent, who testified to his role as a liaison man between the agency and Korean lob byists who worked Capitol Hill. More startling, however, was the testi mony of two other witnesses including former Korean embassy official Jai Hyon Lee who identified Kim Dong Jo, then South Korea's Washington am- arrests. Police seized them as they marched on a police station shouting the black slogan "Amandla! power." The country's biggest black daily, the World, was ordered to stop publishing, and its editor, Percy Qoboza, was detained. Also shut down were the Weekend World, a black Sunday paper with a circulation of about 200,000, and Pro Veritate, a publication of the ecumenical body, the Christian Institute. !;; Ilii,St:illl 4 :: COPIES issue may Nolan suggested that the budget passed last August be cut about $l5O million, that the $lOO million in increased school subsidies be delayed a year and the corporate net income tax be in creased to 10.5 per cent. He said he would oppose making the tax hike retroactive to Jan. 1 as had been called for. Messinger said there's not enough support for delaying the increased school subsidy payments. The other points are still under discussion. "It's in a very fluid condition," Messinger said of the negotiations. "I can tell you there will be a lot of ideas kicked around." Nearly everyone agrees that $3O million can be saved by transferring part of the state police appropriation back to the Motor License Fund. The switch was made in the first place to free more money in the fund for road maintenance. Putting the state police back may mean more pressure for a gas tax increase, Messinger said. The new spirit of compromise developed yesterday after the Senate approved six of nine non-referred ap propriations bills. Funds for Drexel University and the Franklin Institute, both in Philadelphia, and the Buhl Planetarium in Pittsburgh were voted down. Drexel, which was to receive $3 million, and the Buhl Planetarium, due $lOO,OOO, went down 33-15, one vote short of passage. "We lost by one vote; we expect it will be reconsidered and passed in the near future," he said. charged bassador, as the man who actually of fered envelopes stuffed with $lOO bills to members of Congress in the early 19705. Kim Dong Jo returned to Seoul at the end of 1973, became foreign minister, and now is President Park Chung Hee's assistant for foreign affairs. Some let ters introduced as eveidence at the hearing also suggested President Park not only knew about the covert lobbying but approved of it despite numerous official denials from Seoul since allegations of a scandal began. Kim Sang Keun testified he delivered _ over $300,000 in KCIA money to Honcho kini, a Korean-born businessman now under indictment here on conspiracy charges. The ex-KCIA agent produced a letter from a top KCIA officer in Seoul filled with code-names and testified Honcho Kim told him references to "The Chief Priest of Bulkook Buddhist Temple" meant South Korean President Park Chung Hee himself. It was the first time President Park's name was raised in testimony. Lee and another witness, Capitol Hill secretary Nan Elder, said it was the ambassador himself who left an inch thick stack of $lOO notes in the office of Mrs. Elder's boss, Rep. Larry Winn Jr., R-Kans., in September, 1972. Mrs. Elder said Winn told her to return the money and she did so. Lee said he had seen the ambassador stuffing money into plain white en velopes on other occasions. He said Kim told him he was taking the money "to the Capitol." Jaworski accused the Seoul govern ment of blocking progress in the in vestigation by harboring fugitive wit nesses. papers The government also declared 18 black organizations illegal and seized their assets. Pro Veritate's editor, Cedric Mayson, was served with an order banning publication for five years. A similar order was served on Donald Woods, white editor of the East London Daily Dispatch, a longstanding critic of apartheid and a close friend of black leader Steve Biko, who died in detention five weeks ago. influence • Alum :;$ • UPI Wlrephoto
