Be it further resolved that the committee should report its findings on said possibilities to the ' Student Government Association and the Task Force to investigate Student Day Care no later than December 3, 1974. Chairperson of the Community Relations Committee Ann Marie Lowe has told Towerlight that all avenues, internal and external, are open to the committee. In a 9-5 vote, the Senate voted not to send the transfer bill back to the Senate Welfare Committee so that it will be up for third reading next week. Brenda Barrett, Terry Crane, Tim Daly, Bruce Hoffman, Jerry Love, Eric Martin, Charles Muskat, Lucy Reed, Martha Reed, and Jim Tignanelli voted not to send the bill back. Clarence Allen, Jose Ceppi, Terry �Firnstein, Bobby Hayden and Lowe voted to return it to com-mittee. Sets precedent Lowe urged the body to move the bill back to committee because to accept the unfavorable verdict would set a ""precedent"" for no funding for the center. In calling for the Senate to accept the report, Martin stressed that tht commitike had its own strategy. Welfare Committee members include Daly, Reed, Tignanelli, Barrett and Ceppi. So now the question of the Student Day Care Center funding goes to the Senate Community Relations Committee chaired by Lowe. Dickerson speaks of women TOWSON STATE COLLEGE NOVEMBER 8, 1974 Children play at the Day Care Center oblivious to the fact that next year's funding for the center remains up in the air. Knox calls for a chance from committee by Sue DeBolt � At an open hearing held by the Senate Welfare Committee Monday, November 4 prior to their decision to report unfavorably on a bill to recom-mend to the College Executive Council a transfer within the student fees of $4.75 from Athletics to the Student Day Care Center, current acting Director of the Student Day Care Center Arden Knox presented information including a proposed 1976 budget of $43,520. Such a budget would allow the center to provide free day care services to all Towson students. ""Give us a chance and then let's see what the administration does,"" Knox pleaded with the committee so that the center would simply have the chance to While discussing the many facets of �laical life in Washington, newswoman aneY Dickerson aired views concerning omen's roles in the political arena, ring her appearance at the Speakers Cries at Towson State College. With forty-five women running for jiaor positions in the upcoming election, ckerson feels ""women have a chance nd. choice"" to become involved in the eetsion making process at all levels. ""If omen want a career, they have a easonable chance because there is a ""son and a need,"" advised Dickerson, nd went on to say that ""Personism is in d tokenism is out."" Although women play an active role n politics, Dickerson categorized .ecretary of State, Henry Kissinger as a nude chauvinist pig who still sees 'ften as sex objects."" Dickerson in- �rifled the audience Kissinger was lven the ""unique distinction"" of being �ted the greatest man today by the ISS Universe contestants. Kissinger ""also remains the primary Ymbol of continuity in the White ouse,"" having kept good press elations, stated Dickerson. She ap- Nancy Dickerson arrives at Tsc. plauded Kissinger's role in opening the doors to China, maintaining detente with Russia and for his continuous efforts to avoid another outbreak in the Middle East. With the appearance of another war certain in the Middle East, Dickerson feels Kissinger may be the man who can help. ""We can't afford to ignore this :ight,"" said Dickerson and Kissinger realizes the crisis: however, one questions President Ford's sense of urgency when he goes on the campaign trail leaving all this at the White House. Another Middle East eruption could mean an Arab oil boycott if the U.S. maintains its alliance with Israel, resulting in higher prices and a possibility of U.S. involvement in war, maintained Dickerson. In the past, Dickerson has reported on the White House. She was the first woman journalist to have personal contact with former President Nixon. Covering former President Nixon was a ""mind boggling experience,"" reported Dickerson. One week, Nixon would engage in many press con-ferences, while the next week he would go into seclusion. ""I call Nixon the Greta Garbo of the White House,"" she said. The White house was sensitive to press allegations of the President not being able to govern. White House Press officials continually gave press releases stating the President wasn't under psychological care and taking pills. ""His self-imposed solitary confinement"" brought and kept him at his state of insecurity, commented Dickerson. Although Nixon is out of office, Ford's presidential pardon generated alarm throughout the country. Many involved with the press and in the government feel the pardon was both ""premature and an outrage."" Citing Ford to be an honest man, Dickerson feels the President was ""badly burned"" when he pardoned Nixon. He opened wounds of Watergate and generated suspicion. ""All of us have become cynics because of Watergate and if we're not, we're foolish,"" she said and added, ""this pardon has added to the cynicism."" ""Nixon is guilty of wrongdoing and this must be recorded,"" stipulated Dickerson. Dickerson feels his guilt should be officially stated for history's sake and for the future of the country. She analyzed the pardon as ""closing the book before we've had a chance to read it."" ""Nixon doesn't acknowledge or admit he was wrong; this is what gives me nightmares,"" she added. Interaction conference nears ""The Interaction of Italians and Jews in America"" will be the theme of the seventh annual conference of the American Italian Historical Association and American Jewish Historical Society to be held November 14 and 15 in the College Center at Towson State College. Panel discussions, a discussion with Randolph Glanz of his novel Jew and Italian and the movie ""Made for Each Other,"" acted and produced by Renee Taylor and Joseph Bolagna, will highlight the events of the conference. Dinner in Little Italy and a bus/walking tour of East Baltimore's historical Jewish section and Little Italy will conclude the conference. Major panel discussions besides the Glanz talk include Ethnic Political Behavior: Italians and Jews; the Education and the Italian and Jewish Community Experience; and the Italian American and the Jewish American Woman Portrayed in the film and novel. Within the Ethnic Political Behavior panel moderated by Towson State College History professor, Dr. Myron Scholnick, Thursday at 2:30 p.m., Italians and Jews in New York - the LaGuardia Elections will be the title of the discussion. The panel will include Brandeis University professor Lawrence Fuch who authored the Political Behavior of American Jews. George Pozzetta of the Uniyersity of Florida will moderate Education and the Italian and Jewish Community Ex-perience which will also be held at 2:30 p.m. and will include discussions on Turning Little Aliens into Little Citizens: Italians and Jews in the New York City Public Schools, 1900-14 and Research Problems in the Study of Italians and Jewish Interaction in Community Settings. Melvin Dubofsky, who wrote We Shall Be All, a history of the industrial workers of the world, will comment. After the movie Made For Each Other, at 7 p.m. Thursday, there will be a discussion on the Italian American and Jewish American Woman Portrayed in Film and Novel. Dr. Rose Basile Green who wrote The Italian American Novel and Dr. Daniel Walden who wrote On Being Jewish are two panelists. _ The conference will run from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Thursday, November 14 and from 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Friday, November 15. The registration fee is $5 for both days. For further information, contact Dr. Jean Scarpaci, 823-7500, extension 409. let the administration decide on the transfer within the student fees. ""If the administration sees a strong and united front, they'll have to do something."" The $43,520 figure is based upon $6.05 taken out of student fees times an estimated college enrollment of 7,200. That $6.05 would include the current $1.30 taken out of the fee plus a transfer of a $4.75 increase which was to come from athletics this year. Referendum ""embarrassing"" ""Embarrassing"" was the term that Knox applied to the idea of a referendum as she and parents continually em-phasized that the question was not whether the students wanted day care as they had already indicated that. She complained that it was ""harrassing to the concept of day care and to the parents which must be put through this again and again and again."" Emphasizing that the center should be free to all students because it is a ""right,"" Knox said also that the center cannot always depend on tuition. For example, this year, it was expected that about $12,000 would be taken in from tuition but only $8,000 will eventually come in and Knox emphasized the dif-ference $4,000 could make. Free day care called for Free day care was continually stressed by Knox who said that such a step ""would be an innovative concept for the college and could bring the college and its Student Government Association public acclaim, state as well as nation-wide."" She also stressed that if the $4.75 was guaranteed out of the student fee each year that the center would no longer be forced to worry about funds each year. When questioned as to why the student body should support just 29 kids, Knox strove to emphasize that the center does not just serve the kids that are enrolled full time in it but kids who come on an emergency basis, thc parents, and in ""a teaching, as well as, in an advisory capacity not only for student teachers, educational bloc students, and the speech, health education, nursing, psychology, and physical education departments."" The center also serves as a model facility for other centers. Not all benefit from athletics Davey Pridgeon said that the argument that not enough students benefit from the program can be said about Athletics also as he said many day students, including himself, are not around to use it. The $43,520 budget would also have allowed the Center to meet adequately the nutritional guidelines set forth by the Maryland State Department of Education and the Baltimore County Department of Health; as well as obtain Tickets on sale Tickets for the Bella Abzug lecture Thursday, November 21 remain on sale at the College Box Office. She will speak at 8 p.m. in Stephens Auditorium. Tickets are free to students, faculty and alumni. The Abba Eban lecture is sold out. Correction In its article last week on an Ethnic Studies program at Towson, Towerlight failed to include the English course, ""Comparative Ethnic-American Literature"" photo by Steve Hausman a needed refrigerator. Salary raises also came under the $43,520. The law stipulates that there must be one teacher per every seven students. Knox called for an increase to $11,600 from $10,000 for the director who must possess a masters plus must serve as a teacher and a full-time ad-ministrator. A $1,000 increase from $6,000 to $7,000 for Teacher II who must possess a B.S. and an increase to $4,5000 from $4,000 for an aide who must be a graduate student or possess a B.S. Knox stressed that those increases were minimal compared to what the in-dividuals might make outside the center. No expansion Knox continually emphasized that the proposed 1976 budget will not allow for an expansion. Such a budget would only allow for the center to operate adequately. The $4.75 figure represents an in-crease given to Athletics last year. Previously, Athletics was forced to go every year to the Student Services Fee Governing Board which preceded the College Advancement and Improvement Board. Because this meant that there was never a set budget, Mens Athletic Director Thomas Meinhardt emphasized how hard it was to plan events. To remedy the porblem, he asked for a portion of student fees but the original amount of per student was not enough so the $4.75 increase was made. Take funds from another source Although he said he supported day care, Meinhardt emphasized that he hoped the funds would come from elsewhere. He added that he did not like the concept of free care because he does not like ""getting something for nothing.""
