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

college has not filled faculty positions
that were vacated either by retirement
or, movement. 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

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.

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.

means to maintain student-faculty
relationships," Paulson said. "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."
Move brings worldwide protest

(UPI) South Africa yesterday shut
down two black newspapers and a
church publication, arrested two editors
and detained about 70 blacks in the
severest crackdown by the white
government on dissent in several years.
The action touched off a storm of
worldwide protest. Armored riot police

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.

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.

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.

Mrs. Elder said Winn told her to return
