Highsmith 'Excited About Getting Started' Frostburg Nips Tracksters; Stickmen At CLC Tomorrow Track Frostburg beat Towson in a thriller of a track meet last Tuesday. Towson's fieldmen had a field day in winning four of the five non-running events. Orlando, Weber, and Evans led the attack by sweeping the pole vault. Evans also won the high jump and Luette had one of the better Ibroadjumps in the Con-ference as he leaded 20-4. Lage-man scored an impressive win in the discus. Frostburg turned the tables on the track and placed first in eight of the nine events. Among the better Towson performances were Murphy's mile run, Baker and Luette in the hurdles, and the mile relay team. George Brauer traded in his Indian stick for spiked shoes and promptly sped to a 10.4 victory in the hundred. Oscar 'Meehling's fine effort in the two,mile placed the outcome of the meet on the day's final event, the mile relay. Baker, Reynolds, Masken, and Murphy ran the mile in 4:44 which was just 1.5 seconds from winning the meet.

Lacrosse The Towson lacrosse team will not begin their spring holiday until late tomorrow after the Tigers chal-lenge the Catonsville Lacrosse Club on the Catonsville High School field. This year, CLC will display a much improved team over that which lost to Towson last year. In the early season games, Mr. Melville has experimented with dif-ferent combinations of midfielders and he feels he has come up with two solid units. The development of Don Volkman as a steady de-fenseman enabled Mike Mahoney to move back to his old middle post where he joins George Brauer and Don McGhay on the number one unit. Sam DiCrispino, Al Beachley, and Don Graham comprise the capa-ble swing-shift. Last week's 15-2 rout of CW Post was sparked by the hard-shoot-ing Dick Stack who added three more goals to his season total. George Brauer, Sam DiCrispino, Ken Taylor, and Mike Mahoney each tallied twice and Butch Orsino, Don McGhay, Dick Cole, and Don Graham got one apiece. Glen Players Plan Program: Theatre In 5-8 Two series of one-act plays and scenes are being sponsored by The Glen Players on May 2 and 9. All except one of the scenes in-cluded in the programs will be student directed. The purpose of this program is to give students an oppor-tunity to create completely the aspects of the theatre without faculty interference, explained Dr. C. Richard Gillespie, director and adviser of the group. ""Students have the opportunity to consolidate the areas they know of the theatre, such as simple de-signing, into a production,"" he continued, ""but the objective is primarily directing. The program also gives those who were not cast in one of the major productions a chance to act and got the feel of being on stage, he re-marked. ""This program is a part of the push to develop an intimate theatre in S8, with complete stage facili-ties on a simple scale,"" he added hopefully. Each semester more progress is made toward this goal, and we hope to eventually make 58 more effec-tive as a theatre but also more simple, so that less time has to be spent in mechanical preparation,"" he finished.

Highsmith plans to concentrate on the more fundamental problems on campus and to 'build the student opinion of the SGA. ""An organization with a poor reputation gets no support,"" he slammed. Another .problem Highsmith will attack is the complete indifference of the students to activities on the campus. We are looking for reasons over a concrete approach to these problems,"" he replied when asked if he would try to change the student attitude or elimin-ate the activities that are abused.
