the disbursement of Federal

Also, if the argument that
the Federal Government
doesn't intend to control the
educational process of the
StateS-When Federal funds
are furnished to them is
accepted as sincere, then all
that is needed is a good bust
ness organization to see that
Federal funds are matched
by the States, and that the
money is spent for the pur-
poses set forth in the law.
While Robert Weaver
might be a good man for a
cabinet post some day, it
would have been much better
if the President had turned
to the business or financial
world and had selected an
other Robert Mcnamara to
head up the very Depart
ment of Urban Affairs which
he espoused. For it is not
a knowledge of city politics
that is so much needed as a
familiarity with large bust
ness and financial transac-
tionS.
Billions of dollars of the
taxpayers money are in

new departments. Thus, the
billions that are spent by
the Federal Government in
cooperation with the States

hands of the Bureau of Pub

logically be argued that a

its Gator Bowl game against
Florida at Jacksonville Deem

Coach Rip Engle put his AZ
member squad through a 21a-
hour workout in the afternoon
after the team spent the morn

Penn State is using the IA

Engle said he would work the
team inside Nays huge field
house II the weather became
inclement. But the veteran
Penn State coach was smiling
brightly as his players took the
practice field under suany skies.
He said the weather was
right to take off the excess
weight the players had acquired
during a three-week layoff since
they played Pittsburgh in the
final game Of the year.
Engle said the team would
work out each day for about
2la hours. He said there would
be two scrimmages, probably
tomorrow and Friday.

Christy Switches
Besides the change that saw
John Prendergast. a 6-foot-3
sophomore from Utica, N. Y,
start in place Of Joe Mazelin,
O'Keefe switched Jim Christy
to the forecourt and Joe Franz,
a 6-foot-5 soph, to the back
court.
Christy responded with a 90

night of the season, and led
the Georgetown scoring. Prem

assignment through a combina-
ton of circumstances-his ex-
