rjiHERE ARE a lot of funny
things connected with this
consolidation mess, and even if
we liked the idea in the first place
we still wouldn't like some of the
subsequent circumstances, which
are questionable, to use a nice
word.
tigation later proved that there
was an "error", of $54 too much
in the estimate of the Universi
ty's cost per capita.
Those are just a few things
in the garbage can of consolida
tion. But it's no use. It is alleged
that General Electric would be
the name of State College if the
little lord fauntleroys from Sch
nectady weren't such shrinking
SUCKERS STILL BORN
The experts who conceived
the idea in the beginning planned
to save money through effective
mass buying for the three
schools, and we were ledto be
lieve for a short while that this
objective was paramount. There
is a sucker born every minute.
Later proponents of the plan
have now twisted consolidation
to mean transference of whole
departments, irrespective of cost,
efficacy of operation, and ineon
siderate of real needs. There is
about as much union of the state
in the demagogues' interpreta
tion of consolidation as there was
"state of the Union" in a fellow
demagogue's recent address to
Congress.
