Inspection by Debbie Pelton The Ice Cream Shoppe that is located in Hawkins Hall, was closed the afternoon of October 27 because it failed a health inspection Conducted by the Baltimore County Health Department. Al Walsh, director of Dining Services, said the Shoppe, which Opened five months ago, lacks the three compartment sink that is required for the soft ice cream and hot dog machines. The Shoppe is in-s ""more food preparation than it has equipment to,"" said Walsh. L The Shoppe was also preserving dogs on ice, which is illegal. Walsh said the Shoppe started out as just an ice cream parlor, but has expanded to serve more food. The �riginal set of plans for the Shoppe called tor serving Just ice cream Products, hot dogs and drinks. ""The menu has expanded since the Shoppe's opening, so we're doing more than we originally submitted to the Health Depart-ment,"" said Walsh. ""We should have changed the plans with the expansion,"" Walsh said. Dining Services received permis-sion to keep the Ice C eam Shoppe �Pan temporarily until required remodeling is completed. Along 'with the addition of the three compartment sink, the Shoppe's counters that now reach the floor, must be raised six inches to allow cleaning there.

TL photo by Mike Ciesielski Ruark , CSA clash CSA says no carpooling until spring semester due to workload by Paul Gilmore The Commuter Students Associa-tion announced this week that the commuter car pool program which they hoped to implement this semester will not develop until the spring semester. The program intended to reserve parking spaces for commuter students who organized car pools of three or more persons. Gayle Wheeler, secretary for the CSA, said after Tuesday's senate meeting, she and Charles Klein, presi-dent of the CSA, agreed there was no point in trying to salvage the program for the remainder of the fall semester, but they would start over again in the spring. The failure of the car pooling pro-gram to materialize was one of the factors that touched off a conflict bet- Scholarship fund is not utilized for intended seminars, lectures by Gail Bending In 1975, the SGA passed a bill which appropriated $5,000 to be invested and used for the purpose of hiring visiting professors, scholars and artists for the Towson State campus. Since then the fund has been rarely used to help attract professors, scholars or artists to the campus. According to SGA files, the money was to be invested by the Towson Foundation and combined with its fund in order to receive a higher rate of interest. The funds were then to be awarded in approximately one to two years, or after a sufficient amount of interest had accrued. This money would then be granted to persons performing seminars, lectures and discussions on campus. Persons hired would be determined by a college committee composed of faculty and students, following extensive publicity of the proposed guest. In a letter dated October 23, 1975, David Nevins, then President of the SGA, stated that the interest which remained unused, was to be reinvested as part of the original Towson Foundation helps s onsor University events by Kathy Norjen The Towson Foundation, a non- Profit organization, was established 1,,n August, 1970, to help the university financially. James Fisher, Towson State 'resident, wanted the Foundation set 11P, so Paul E. Wisdom, vice President for Institutional Develop-inent and executive vice president of Ilet organization, incorporated his ideas and the result was the Towson Foundation. citizens We raise money from private and organizations and also fro rn concerts and speakers. For I I example, the Bruce Springsteen concert, Bill Cosby, and 'Godspell' were sponsored by the Towson Foundation,"" said Wisdom. Re-cently the foundation allocated funds to discount 1,000 student tickets for the upcoming England Dan-John Ford Coley concert. The Board of Directors is composed of Herbert Garten, president Bill Flynn of O'Conor and Flynn Realtors, vice president, Sayde Sklar, an artist and president of Artist's Equity, vice president, and Francis Knott of the Arundel Corporation, treasurer. The Foundation has many pro-jects in store for the rest of the school year, according to Wisdom. ""We have planned the Visiting Scholars Endowment, which will help bring lecturers to the campus and a Special Scholarship Program for unusually talented students. ""We also plan to raise money for additional library books and re-sources, and to bring more celebrity speakers to Towson such as Bill Cosby. We wil also be raising money for the Fine Arts Scholarship Endowment, with our sixth annual Fine Arts Ball to be held on April 1, 1978 in the University Union,"" said Wisdom. sum. In this way, the principle would keep growing because only the interest and dividends would be used to hire the guests. According to Adele Loew, Assis-tant to the Vice-president of Institutional Development, part of the Annual Fund Appeal in 1974-75 was directed toward the visiting scholars program. Called the ""One-to- One Bonus"" because the Execu-tive Committee of the Alumni Association matched on a dollar-to-dollar basis any first-time alumni gift, this drive raised $7,914. At the present time there is approximately $31,000 in the visiting scholars fund, although this varies due to fluctuation of the stock market. SGA Contributes More Loew stated that the SGA later contributed more money to the fund. Checks were deposited on Jenuary 9, 1976 for $5.00; on April 2, 1976 for $1,500 and on August 10, 1976 for another $5,000.

At the beginning of the meeting, Ruark said that the CSA has ""a great amount of disorganization...made promises which have not been kept..."" and has not kept regular office hours. Ruark said there was little com-munication between the officers of the CSA and implied there was not much effort on their part towards the CSA. ""Today is the first time this semester that the president, vice president and secretary of the CSA have been in the same room at the same time,"" he said following the senate meeting. Did not keep promises Ruark also told the senate that the CSA had not kept their promise to the students in not providing the car pool-ing service they had advertised in Towerlight. He also said the CSA had not kept of-fice hours which they had advertised in Towerlight. Klein was then recognized by the senate so that he could make a state-ment defending his organization. Klein said the reason the car pooling program did not develop was simply because the CSA did not have the manpower to handle it. Klein explained there was much paper work involved in ""making sure people don't cheat on the system"" and currently the CSA does not have the volunteer workers to handle the paper work. In response to Ruark's claim that the CSA did not keep advertised office hours Klein said, ""I don't want to call anybody a liar, but every hour we've said we'd be there, we've been there."" Ruark said he hoped the senate would take appropriate action con-cerning the CSA situation, however, the senate voted to go on to other business and did nothing concerning the CSA. Senate takes no action Although some of the senators ex-pressed some concern over the situa-tion, they did not feel it was the place of the senate to take action. ""The senate thinks he (Ruark) should have gone through the govern-ment operations committee,"" said senator Donna Sauerborn. ""John thought that government operations wasn't competent enough to handle this, but it is,"" she added. Ruark said he did not go through government operations but came directly to the senate because ""government operations is already overburdened...and also the impor-tance of what is going on would have been watered down."" Although the senate refused to take any action Ruark feels his goal was accomplished in that he did inform the senate of the situation. Klein however feels differently. ""We see this as a total farce. This isn't going to change anything we plan to do,"" he said. ""What it boils down to is this: John likes to treat us, not as any other organization, but as an organization headed by the person who ran against him (for the SGA presidency) last semester. He has a personal vendetta against us. I wish he had the maturity to realize his constituency is all students and not just the resident students he represented last semester as president of the residence council."" Ruark responds Ruark responded, ""Charlie's corn-ments are typical of his campaign against me and the way he is running the CSA. There was no personal vendetta involved in this at all. It is my concern for the commuter students and the way Charlie's organization has screwed them that has caused me to step in."" Please turn to page 3 CHARLES-? COLD SPRING ST.

The 12th annual marathon football game for Santa Claus Anonymous got under way at 9 o'clock this morning and will continue throughout the , weekend at Joseph H. Rash Memorial Field in the inner harbor. The weekend will be filled with live music, lots of food and beer, and of course, lots of football. There will be 56 hours of continuous football with two games in progress at all times. The money raised from the event will go to Santa Claus Anonymous, an organization that gives Christmas FIELD gifts to needy children. Although a good portion of the money is raised by the auctioning of time slots to the foot-ball teams who bid for the rights to play at preferred hours, most of the money is raised by the can shakers who work the games. The goal for this year's marathon is to raise $15,000, a substantial drop from last year's goal of $20,000. Unfor-tunaely,, last year the marathon rais-ed little money, mostly due to the fact that the game was being held at Rash Field for the first time. Previously, marathon football had been held at Herring Run Park and the switch iii location cut down attendance figures drastically. The game started in 1966 when two Loyola College students decided to at-tempt to break the record found in the Guiness Book of World Records for a 'marathon football gaine. They looked around for a cause and came up with Santa Claus Anonymous. They looked around for an opponent and found Towson Stat. Towson won that game (as Toivson did for the next eight years) and $8,000 was raised for Santa Claus Anonymous. Since then the game has become the biggest single contributor to Santa Claus Anonymous. Towson State men's and women's teams will be out to defend their respective titles in the marathon. Towson's mens teams regained their title last year after losing it for the first time ever in 1974 to Loyola and then again in '75 to Essex. Besides games between area col-leges, community groups and local businesses will be,represented in this year's marathon and a special game between radio and television per-sonalities will take place Sunday from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. "
