Harris said Film organization funded $660 The Associated Student Activities Budget Committee allocated funds last week to several groups, including the Student Film Organization, the Academic Assembly and Eco-Action. The Student Film Organization had requested nearly $11,715 from the committee. They received about $652 for ; poetry film series to be held in interviews set to select a number of “core questions” to ask each applicant. Ackerman said a total of about 20 interviews will be held. He said 16 ap plications were received from University Park, and that branch .campus applications should arrive in today’s mail. The selection committee was set up when Caryl Kline, state secretary of education, asked, for at least two more names in addition to the three already submitted to her this summer. Committee members include: Sabah Wali, president of the International Student Council; Tom Wilson, vice president of the Graduate Student Association; three representatives from the Council of Branch Campus Student Governments; Jeremy Abrams, president of the Organization for Town Independent Students; and Ackerman.

The board agreed to stick with only the Outlaws as a possibility for that date, instead of a package show of the Outlaws and the Atlanta Rhythm Section. The popularity of the Outlaws by themselves and the possibility that the two groups might not go well together were reasons given by the board for the decision. The price of the Outlaws is $6,500, plus $2,000 production costs, Harris said. With the Atlanta Rhythm Section, the cost would come to $12,000 with about $2,000 in production, he added. Harris said that he looked into the possibility of booking Kansas for November or December but said that the group has no dates open then. He said he will check to see if the group is available in January. Eisenhower Auditorium Dec. 15.

"All of us regret that this has hap pened,” Henry said. “We appreciate the No recess asked till budget fixed Student leaders from the state-related universities will travel to Harrisburg Tuesday to request that the legislature delay its recess until the schools’ budget crisis is solved, Undergraduate Student Government President Grant Ackerman said. Ackerman said the student leaders agreed the legislature is taking too much time to find the money to finance the universities’ appropriations. He said the student government presidents asked for an immediate solution to the budget problem in Harrisburg four weeks ago, and that the legislature has not voted on a single program for financing the ap propriations. The legislature is due to recess from full meetings on Thursday, Ackerman said. He added that the time is ap proaching when the assembly will take ■frequept breaks ..from their- work sessions (for elections, Thanksgiving, etc.) If the legislature recesses on Thurs day, then only committee meetings will be held throughout next week, Acker man said. He said 10 to 12 student leaders from Penn State, Pittsburgh, Temple, and Lincoln universities will make the trip to the capital. They will discuss the budget situation with the legislature and request an extended session, he added.

Ackerman said he encourages students to visit the student action' centers set up in the residence association offices of all six dorm areas, iri the office of the Organization for Town Independent Students, and the one which may be set up in Pattee. USG state government liaison Mike Stinson said the action centers contain maps of the state-wide numbered voting districts. They also contain a guide listing each district’s state senator and representative. Ackerman said it was important for each student to know who the senator and representative from his home district are so the letter-phone call campaign can be successful.

Dean Smith, (lOth-general arts and sciences pre-med), was chosen over 12 other applicants to fill a vacant position on the judicial body. Smith must be first confirmed by the USG Senate. Smith said in his application that his past experience as an orientation leader and two years spent as head of the orientation program - give him strong background in group interaction. During an interview before the council, Smith said if the court did not live up to his expectations he “would Legislators eye tax HARRISBURG (AP)—Lawmakers are beginning to look over their shoulders toward 1978 and wonder what effect the lingering tax fight will have on next year’s elections. Half of the Senate and all 203 House ( members face the electors next year. Normally, politicians like to put as much time as possible between tax votes and their reckoning with the folks back home. But as one senator said last week during the budget debate, “These are not normal times.” The legislative chambers, usually still during the late fall months, this year ring with debate about raising taxes $3OO million or reopening the budget and making program cuts. “The longer we wait, the closer we get to 1978 an election year the tougher it will be for anything to come " -COPIES legislature is taking so long to vote on appropriations, money that could be used for the students’ education is being wasted on interest payments for the money the University must borrow to function. Harrisburg addresses also are on file at each center. Ackerman said a meeting was held yesterday for RAs, encouraging them to have house meetings to give information to students about the campaign. Ackerman said he is encouraging not only students but also other state residents to participate in the campaign. He.said he urges students’ parents and other citizens to communicate with the legislators. Ackerman said this not only is a problem for the state-related univer sities, but also for the entire Com monwealth. He said the longer the legislature takes to finance the. university appropriations, the longer it will be until he gets back to the “business of state government.” Ackerman said the letters should be sent out by tomorrow so the legislators receive them by Wednesday. He said that since the assembly is due to recess on Thursday, any attempts to prolong the session must be made before then. student government in general, Henrv said. “We feel graduate students’ needs are radically different from those of undergraduates,” she said.

My pride would be at stake.” According to USG President Grant Ackerman, Smith was chosen over other applicants because he showed the proper concern for students’ needs and presented himself well. Another vacancy will be filled later this term, Ackerman said, because the spot will not be open until Winter Term. The council said the delay also would provide more time to consider ap plicants. The nominee will be chosen from the remaining applicants for the position filled by Smith. out,” said Sen.

I don’t think any party wants to be hung with that in an election year. ” “The longer we go towards the first of the year and hot primary elections, the less likelihood we’ll get a tax increase,” said Sen.
