Track Removal
Guarantees by

While top District officials pre-
pared to consider the point
program requested by D. c.
Transit System, they we're asked
today to freeze the company's
reserves or make it post a bond
to guarantee it will pay for rip
ping up streetcar tracks.
The request for such a guar
antee was filed while the Public
Utilities Commission met in a
two-and-one- half hour session
to analyze the nine-point pro-
gram of o. Roy Chalk.
1t was delivered by George
Spiegel, attorney who has fire.
quently sued the old Capital
Transit Co. in connection with
fare increases. The petition was
signed by eight other spokesman
for Maryland, Virginia and Dis
trict citizens associations.
Turned Over For Study
Chairman George E. C. Hayes
of the Public Utilities Commits
sion said Mr.. Spiegel's request
had been turned over for study
to Assistant Corporation Counsel
Lloyd B. Harrison.
He said the utilities commits
sion, preparing for a 2 pm,
meeting with the District Board
of Commissioners. had agreed
its approval would be required
| for three of Mr.. Chalk's nine
points. These concern a request
to cut bus stops on six lines by
25 per cent; establish an ex-
detrimental midday shoppers
express service, and use of buses
to deliver parcels while returning
from the downtown area after
morning rush hours.
The Spiegel petition asked the
Board of Commissioners to make
ID. c. Transit System post a
surety bond guaranteeing or to
set aside and freeze "a reserve
Sufficient, to assure that the cost
Iof removing tracks and restoring
the streets will in fact be borne
by D. c. Transit System, Inc.
or its predecessor"
Mr.. Chalk's 20-year, partly
Itax-exempt franchise requires
him to convert to an all-bus
operation within seven years. al
Though the utilities commission
may extend the period.
Report on Assets Noted
The Spiegel petition noted
that recent newspaper reports
indicate that D. c. Transit Sys-
TEN. Inc. has mortgaged and
pledged practically all of its
assets. If this is true, the COM
pany appears to have put itself
in a position where it may be I'M
able financially to fulfill its obi
cation to restore the streets in
connection with the removal of
streetcar tracks, an obligation
variously estimated at figures up
to Sill million.
This obligation may thus be
shifted to the District taxpayers
or future riders Of the company's
vehicles, although it is under
stood that the District residents
are already subject to an onerous
tax burden and that fares
charged by the company, are
close to if not beyond the point

/ The petition pointed out that

physical plant To meet the major
enrolment increases which al
ready have begun and which will
continue at least until 1870" DR..
Perkins declared.
According to DR.. Perkins, sta
tistics show that enrollments in
institutions Of higher learning in
the United States increased ap-
proximately $50 per cent between
1880 and 1850. During this same
period, Delaware experienced a
392 per cent increase in its en-
rollments, second only to Florida
among the forty-eight states.
Clearly, the burden of education
is not distributed evenly among
the states, and as one of the fast
est growing population areas in
America, the State of Delaware
must support its university ade-
quately during the coming years
if the university is to meet in
structional obligations to the resi-
dents of the state.
''While additional buildings, es-
pecially dormitories, are desper-
ately needed" DR.. Perkins ex-
planned, I'VE must continue to use
our funds efficiently to ensure that
| instruction and research, our
primary and inimitable response
bilities, will not be neglected.
Brick and mortar are necessary,
but buildings alone will not make
university. Distinguished teach
ing and investigation by compet-
ent faculty are of even higher i'm
portance in achieving our educa-
tional mission. This means pay
ing good salaries, providing a
richly stocked library and well
equipped laboratories as well as
buildings to house the educational
activities and students"

EXPANSION AT

S4,092,000 Building Program
Announced By DIR. John
A. Perkins Last Week
PLAN STUDENT CENTER


A building program calling for
an expenditure of S4,092, 900 for
the expansion of student living,
dining and recreational facilities
is under way at the University of
Delaware, DR.. John A. Perkins,
president, announced last week.
The construction of four new
dormitories and a dining hall-stu-
dent center will begin shortly.
Dr. Perkins also revealed that
the University has purchased ap-
proximately nineteen acres Of un-
improved land in Newark from
the Franklin Institute of Philadel-
phia. This property win be the
site for three Of the new build
ings and for other dormitories in
the future. The newly acquired
land is roughly bounded by
Haines, Courtney. and Academy
Streets and the Biochemical Re-
search Building ON Academy
Street which is owned by the
Franklin Institute.
Two other new buildings will
complete dorimtory construction
on the main campus as it was
envisioned in the university's mas
ter plan. One of these dormitor-
les for men will adjoin the H.
Fletcher Brown Residence Hall on
the north campus between Main
Street and Delaware Avenue. A
new residence for women win be
constructed on the south campus
adjoining Sussex Hall, replacing
the three small World War tenn
porary dormitories known as
Topsy, Turvey and Boletus.
To finance the construction of
the four dormitories, the univer-
sity will make use of a 1855 state
appropriation of 81, 500, 900 COM
bined with $1,354, 900 from the
sale of university issued revenue
bonds. The dining hall-student
center will be paid for by $780,
600 from university endowment
funds and an additional $500, 900
from the sale of revenue bonds.
OF the total funds for this con-
struction the State of Delaware
is providing approximately thirty
five per cent.
The dining hall-student center
is being designed by Trautwein
and Howard of Philadelphia who
have served as the architects for
many other University of Della
ware buildings and who recently
completed a much admired stu
dent center at the University of
Colorado. The center has been de-
signed to provide very minimum
facilities comparable to those at
most other universities. Other fea-
lures usually found in such build
ings are planned as funds become
available. The first unit of the
building will include a bookstore,
a games area for billiards and
table tennis, a student lounge, a
music listening room, a reading
room, offices for all student pub
lications and the Student Govern
ment Association, a craft shop, a
snack bar, meeting rooms, a small
faculty dining room, and a cafe
terra with the necessary food pre-
paration and storage areas to ac-
eommodate approximately 1,100
persons per meal. The cafeteria
is so designed that it can be used
for banquets, small dances, re-
ceptions, teas and other social af-
fairs for which it might be de-
sired.
All of the new dormitories have
been designed by McKim, Mead
and White, of New York, one of
the Oldest architectural organiza-
tions in America. Since the close
Of World War II, this firm has
built dormitories containing over
6,7O0 beds in many states serving,

evolent policy that it adopted dur

idealism always prevailed despite
contrary pressures from imperial
istic quarters, the Filipinos are
ever grateful to the American peo-
pie. They profess closer friend

LAS the policy progressed and
the Filipino experience was pub

world, inhabitants of the colonies
of England France, Japan and
Holland also started agitating for
similar benevolent treatment. In
dependence agitations in those
colonies were initiated as the Uni
ted States passed legislation i'm
plementing its idealistic program.
And when Philippine Independence
was proclaimed in July, 1916, it did
not take long for England, Holland
and France to grant independence
to their Asiatic colonies either vol
UNFAIRLY or involuntarily.
History Reviewed
Speaking on the subject of phi
lippine Experience in Colonial
tion," Consul Umayam gave a
brief review of the political history
of the Philippines from the discov-
cry by Magellan through the Span
ish-American War, the revolt of
the Filipinos against Spanish
authorities and the short-lived Fill
ipino resistance against the Amer
leans.
The Consul stressed the aspira-
ton of the Filipinos for indepen-
dence which they tried to obtain
in the battlefield and failed, and
which they finally won through di-
plomacy. He reviewed legislations
in the halls of the United States
Congress which gradually gave the
Filipinos training in the art of
self government, eliminating in
the granting of independence on
July 4, 1916.
Promise of Independence
I'm the year 1916, the Jones
Law was enacted" Consul Umay-
am told his audience. This law
made a more specific promise to
the Filipinos and expressed in clear
terms the policy of the legislative
branch The Jones Law de-
clared that it was the policy of the
American people to grant the Fill
pinos their independence as soon
as a stable government could be
established in the Islands. The law
granted political autonomy e.
The Filipinos considered this law
as a definite promise by the Amer
lean government so they did their
best in preparing themselves for
the eventual independence
Waited Twenty Years
The Consul then related how the
Filipinos waited for twenty years
until the u. S. Congress enacted
the Tydings -McDuffie Act in 1884,
which provided for the grant Of
independence after a 10-year peri
cd of transition during which a
Commonwealth government was to
be established with only a High
Commissioner as the remaining
symbol of American sovereignty.

rated on November 10, 1885, and
