tl19530401-000 "I hereby declare on this first day of April 1953 that the BOWERY BLIGHT will be the new student publication on Towson State Creatures College Campus. Due to inefficiency on the part of the TOWER LIGHT staff, this new staff will seize the initiative (figuratively as well as illiterally). By due process of revolution we have gained for ourselves the right of selfish service to you. This first issue is a complementary one but hereafter a charge of 50c will be required.

Scandal-Bribery Seen Defiant Towson Teachers College, for years a top athletic power of the Mason-Dixon Conference, was to-day the scene of an explosive rhu-barb when it was revealed that the college figured prominently in Reider Won't Admit the recent investigation of the Senate Crime Committee. Reports from Washington re-veal that many M-D members, concerned about their lowly league standing, resorted to the bribery of Towson athletes in an effort to unseat the perennial Knights. American Roanoke, Baltimore high-riding University, University, and Gallaudet, to name just four, have at one time or another done 'business"" with Towson ball players. Suspicions were first aroused two years ago when the F.BI. investigated the now famous P. Morrill-Randolph-Macon case. Their findings were turned over to the Senate Committee which launched a full-scale inquiry which uncovered many such incidents. The Bowery Blight will not au-thoritatively assert itself, but would like to pose the following questions: Where did Jack Downs accumu-late enough money to enable him to sport around in a new Cadillac? What did Ed Schwiegrath col-lect for the Roanoke game? Who ""induced"" Bill Binder to leave school? Is it true that Tom Minnich picked up enough from Randolph- Macon to buy Bill Gray a new car as well as a second-hand blue sweater? Did B U take care of Walt (Con't. on Page 3 Col. 4) The Physical Education Depart-ment has adopted a new plan whereby the Freshman boys and girls will share gym periods. This was instituted when the boys displayed their remarkable talent on Demonstration night with the Scotch Clap Dance and the Rye Waltz. Perhaps the girls have already been seen practicing the girdle hurdles and improving their discus put and shot throw along with the 12 feet dash. Although the girls didn't do so well in basketball (winning only 12 of the 13 games played), they are expected to do much better dribbling in the spring. Since baseball practice began, several of the girls have been out catching. However the men bel-ligerently have told them to keep their mits off. Even on the tennis courts, the girls have displayed fine form. The co-educational program works out exceptionally well here since the boys can be counted on to (Con't.

A reward has even been offered by Mr. Llenroc's roommate (be-cause at the time he left he was wearing his roommate's grey bur-lap suit). When last seen Mr. Llenroc was heading for Hawaii. His family think that this is very strange since Dub hasn't any relatives or friends there. Mr. Llenroc is 5' 111/2"" tall and tips the scale 97141bs (he had been taking the Charles Fatless course). He has brown eyes (sometimes they may be found to be red) and brown hair. If anyone knows the where-abouts of Mr. Llenroc please noti-fy his family immediately so that they can send him money to keep him there.

On the day scheduled for him to ""dock"" in New York, he found himself taking part in a South African voodo dance. Since then he has had the worst type of ""map fever."" Mr. Stanley Pollack was quite a cassanova in his day. Famous last words: ""Won't you come up to my studio and etchings ?"" see some of my 'Mac' � 'I""� � (Con't. from Page 4) which prevail. In order to show his cordiality, which he is stuffed with, he has gone so far as to volunteer his services to the BOWERY BLIGHT as acting Business Manager un-til a trustworthy individual can be secured to fill that position.

The entire student body will fly to Cuba where there will be swim-ming, horse back riding, golf and charades. The boys will also have time to observe Cuba's natural beauty.

He admits that his job required time, talent, and patience; but says that it did wonders for his reflexes. Dr. William Hartley, another talented faculty member, was found to have once been one of the Don Cossacks. However the sa-bers kept trimming his mustache too much, and this detracted from his manly beauty . . . so he quit. He also usecl to pose in the ""after"" pictures for hair tonic.

The re-sults from the first series of tests have just been recorded. They state that 20 per cent of the American smokers prefer camels, the remaining 80 per cent prefer cigarettes.
