Bill to Provide For 300,000 Students MADISON, WIS.—The U.S, National Student Asso ciation (NSA) has called upon Congress to enact legis lation to provide a national program of federally fin anced scholarships for approximately 300,000 college students.

The urgent need was stressed by the commission when it indicated that another 10 percent increase in general tuition was to be expected ' for the coming year in addition to — thrr average of 28 percent' since’ 1939. The report added that: 1. Veteran enrollments, which have decreased some 17 percent in the past year, were expected to end by 1956. Federal appropria tions under the present G.I. Bill should be diverted, coincident with this decrease, to non-veteran stu dents of ability and need: • 2. Despite current enrollment of more than 2,400,000, 75 percent of the nation’s 17-18 year old group were not enrolled in colleges. Some 50 percent of this group are in families whose income is below $3,000 per annum. Average tuition and living costs at college ranging between $750 and $1,000 yearly in dicate the pressing need for finan cial aids. NSA has launched its program on three levels. In the first two, , its member colleges and regional organizations have been called upon to solicit public and congres sional support for national scholar ship legislation. On the national level, the fol lowing steps have been taken: 1. The staff of NSA has appealed to House and Senate Committees to recommend national scholarship legislation. 2. The NSA Subcommission on Legislation in Washington is pre paring to circulate all individual members of Congress to enlist their support. 3. The staff of NSA is studying impending legislation before Con gress and will prepare recommen dations for the National Executive Committee on the endorsement of specific measures. Stating that “We have come a long way from the days when col lege was an experience reserved for the specially gifted or the financially able,” Eugene G. Schwartz, NSA Vice President for (Continued' O n Page 4, Column 3) I DEADLINE SET FOR PETITIONS “All petitions regarding the awarding of athletic scholarships should be turned in immediately to Norton counter,” Julian Rivo, Chairman of the Committee, an nounced today.

It appears that the 1097 students who made their way to the polls last Wednesday will not have the last say about who will become Board President. For the first time in the history of UB a tie has developed and« there is no provision in the Norton Union Constitution that Will cover the situation. ' As a consequence, ^ combination of the retiring Board of Managers and the incoming Board will have to decide upon an amicable solu tion of the problem. This will occur at the next Board meeting, which will be held tomorrow eve ning in Norton Auditorium. All interested students are invited to attend. The early half of the election returns indicated a landslide for Whelan, who collected 110 votes from Business Administration, 81 from Arts and Science, and 51 from Education, for a total of 242. Baynes, on the other hand, re ceived a total of only eight votes from these three schools. Then the Engineering vote was tabulated. __ _ Instead of the Engineering vote dropping below that of the first election, it swelled to 298 and 259 of these were cast for Baynes while Whelan received only nine. At this point the proceedings be came quite interesting, for with Law School unheard '^rom, the votes stood—^Whelan, 260; Baynes, 269. The Law School ballots were then received and they indicated that Law was not particularly in terested in either Baynes or Whe lan, for of their 225 votes, 187 were cast for Knibloe, 11 for Whelan] and two for Baynes. Final total— Baynes 271, Whelan 271, Knibloe 201. A few people on Campus in attempting to “dope out” the elec tion reasoned along the following lines; “Whelan is the logical choice for President of the Board, for he is the only non - fraternity man on the Board, and therefore the only person whom the rest of the Board (who are all fraternity or sorority members) will be able to agree upon. ‘Therefore, most of the new Board members swung their sup port behind Whelan and expected him to win easily. Engineering threw a monkey wrench into the plans by turning out in surprising numbers to back their man, Baynes. “The Whelan supporters final ‘ace in the hole’ failed to material ize when Knibloe, despite inactive campaigning, was completely sup ported by Law School and gar nered many votes there, which otherwise would have gone to Whelan.” The BEE supporters claimed a victory in the referendum on the I; grounds that 11 more students had voted for sole subsidization of the bee than voted for sole subsldlai- tion of the ARGUS.
