tl19691121-000 "DC march described as 'freaky-holiday, moral crusade' Washington, D. C. November 15, 1969 Photo by Marcus A HALF MILLION people thronged around the Washington Monu-ment to protest the Vietnam War and to be with each other. Madden appointed Dean; by WARREN MOORE The March on Washington, Nov-ember 15, was the greatest single show of opposition to the Presi-dent's war policy this nation has ever seen. It was two days of in-tense anti-war protest; it was over a half million people brought to-gether; but it was more than all that. Above all, it was a feeling, like Woodstock in its sense of to-getherness, but more urgent. It was a strange mixture of freaky-holiday and moral crusade. The tone of the crowd was summed up by a sign carried by one of the marchers which read�""Nixon You've Brought Us All Together."" The mood of the marchers, like the wording of the sign, was at once humorously ironic and seri-ous, almost evangelistic; the feel-ing of solidarity was ever present. Friday night in the National Cathedral in Washington, five thou-sand people. led by Pete Seeger, clasped hands and sang We Shall Overcome and, for a moment, they seemed to believe it. Saturday morning was a strange mixture of button sellers, each with their individual memorial special or souvenir button; small groups greeted friends among the crowd. The march itself was quiet and orderly. The people unable to march head-ed down the Mall toward the Wash-ington Monument for the rally. De-spite the press of the crowd walk-ing down the hill and constantly bumping into one another, no one got uptight. ""Imagine,"" a marcher suggested, ""what a quarter of a million parents would do in this situation."" (Please turn to page 6) teaching ability lauded to tverlight Dr. Arthur G.

Vol. XXII, No. 10 TOWSON STATE COLLEGE, BALTIMORE, MARYLAND 21204 November 21, 1969 Looking for a cause ... Sunday fire guts Prett Photo by Waters TSC initiates pilot exchange programs by STEPHANIE TOLEN Towson students can now enroll in courses not offered on campus, including special education, correc-tional education, and military sci-ence, as the Co-operative Program between Towson and other colleges is revised and expanded under the direction of Mr. Edwin F. Sasaki, TSC Registrar. There are two separate pro-grams: In one which involves the six state colleges, upper classmen may register for any course, including general college requirements. The other includes the state col-leges plus Goucher, and Loyola. Sophomores, juniors and seniors may enroll in any upper division course not offered at the home campus. Both programs are recip-rocal. Instructor exchange .Several pilot programs to be ef-fective next semester include ex-change of courses and instructors between Morgan and Towson. One program provides that each college will offer courses which it thinks will attract students from the oth-er campuses. In the other, an instructor from one institution will teach a course peculiar to that college at another campus. Hopefully, five depart-ments will be involved: geography, history, philosophy, physics, and sociology. To minimize schedule conflicts and transportation problems, these courses will be offered on a two-day late 'afternoon or a one-day late afternoon block schedule. If enough interest is exhibited, there is a possibility of establishing a shuttle bus system. (Please turn to page 7) ROOM 206 in Prettyman Sunday, November 16.
