I work in a local auto-mobile factory and this is my only means of support for me and my 15 darling children. I have only seen my husband once a year for the past 15 years and now I am beginning to think he is not a re-sponsible man. Would I be right if I refuse to see him this year or am I being too harsh on Him? Distraught. Dear Distraught, From your sweet letter I must feel that you would be justified in not seeing your husband this year. After all, dearie, aren't you get-ting a little old for that sort of thing?

Al Commencement Planned For July 4th The popular adage, ""Spring will Be A Little Late This Year,"" seemed to hold weight as one bliz-zard after another stormed the S.T.C. Campus, and more and more members of the Senior Class kept their fingers crossed in hopes that Commencement plans would not be affected. Unfortunately, due to inclement weather during February and March, Dr. Earle T. Hawkins, Pres-ident of Maryland State Teacher's College, announced today that Commencement exercises have been re-scheduled for July 4,wea-ther permitting. It seems that seven days of classes have been missed in addition to the five days on which classes were sud-denly called off at 2 p.m. ""These days will have to be made up,"" added Dr. Hawkins, ""due to the fact that most faculty members feel they are un-prepared to accel-erate their courses."" Since classes would last until mid-June, the Administrative Council felt that Commencement Exercises would be more colorful should they be held on a National Holiday. ""I'm sure by July 4 the Senior Class can be assured of having the exercises on the front lawn on campus,"" remarked Class President Carey Bolster. ""The Towson High School Auditorium will still be reserved in case of rain."" Spring Congratulations The late arrival of Spring, 1958, also brings the school year close to its end. Throughout the year var-ious students have made accom-plishments worthy of attention and congratulations in this special edi-tion. A job well done goes to Jim Binko and his cohorts on the SGA who are responsible for the new Activity Cards! (How in the world did you get the Baltimore Police Department to give up those old mug shots?) Congrats to Don Harward for being voted Mr. Greaseless Vitalis of 1958! [ n , tl:.? .? s x:4: ..

Word was received from the Conglomerated Union of Ham and Pork Packers in Las Vega, Nevada that a general strike of all Balti-more locals of the union would go in effect on Tuesday, April 1. The strike, caused by differenc-es in opinions concerning the dis-position of surplus pig knuckles, will adversely affect Towson if it is of any duration longer than 2 days. Pork and ham comprise 97.9 c/, of the school menu and without these staples the possibility of one-meal a week can become a reality. Nor official word has been given by the administration here or in Annapolis about what will be done if our supply of pork and ham is cut off. Because of all the time lost as a result of winter storms, school cannot be closed. One member of the school, who wished to remain unnamed, ex-pressed joy at the thought of a �porkless and hamless meal, but in general the situation is considered a threat to campus life. Ham and pork have been the traditional food for Towson for the past 90 years and the pending strike will break the long line of pork and ham filled weeks which are so well remembered by each and every student of Towson. All personnel connected with the kitchen at Towson have been in closed meetings all morning fran-ticly searching for recipes for oth-er kinds of food. This action was taken as a precautionary meas-ure to prevent a last minute fam-ine on campus. Salad makers are not affected by the strike but their positions have now become reversed and they are being counted on to pos-sibly hold up the situation until help, in the form of pork and ham, can be rushed in from near-by states which will not be af-fected by the strike. Students are reminded that they will be kept up to date on the situation by way of the main bul-letin board in Stephens Hall and by up to the minute cove,rage, an-nounced on the cafeteria loud speaker through the courtesy of the Gourmets Society Of Towson. Students whose parents live close-by are advised to call home for box lunches of any sort in order that the situation will be alleviat-ed, if the emergency comes. "
