State official lists budget problems By REBECCA ANDREWS Daily Collegian Staff Writer State Education Secretary Caryl Kline said yesterday that state-owned and state-related colleges are caught in a "budget log jam." Speaking at a luncheon symposium to honor state Rep. Helen Wise, D-77, Kline said the money borrowed by univer- _ sities, including Penh State, to continue operation when the legislature did not pass the 1978-79 budget was wasted. Kline said 77 percent of the money spent Stormer to speak at hearing on police guns Director of University Safety David Stormer will defend the arming of campus police at a public hearing tonight in the HUB reading room. Arguments against arming will be presented by sociology professor Roy Austin, who spoke at University Council hearings on the issue. "This hearing is for students to find out face-to;face what is going on, rather than hearing it on the radio or reading it in the paper," Undergraduate Student Government Vice President Tony Cortese said. Stormer and Austin will each make a short presen tation and then answer questions.

The University requested an appropriation of $130.1 million for 1979-80 school year. "The University will have some perilous hours before the budget is passed," Kline said. She said every request for education appropriations in recent years has resulted in a long debate. The hearing will begin at 8:30 p.m. Cortese, who will moderate the hearing, said he doesn't think the audience will be • overwhelmingly against arming. He predicted that students who feel strongly either for or against and those confused about the issue will attend.

The 6 percent increase makes Pennsylvania the lowest Goldsmith then asked the committee to reconsider its previous decision and grant the funding in full.
