Slowinski. Previously students were admitted on the basis of three separate qualifications: high school academic re-cords, American College Testing scores, and recom- Mendations of the high school Principals, counselors, and teachers. Next fall, students will be adrnitted according to the com-bined scores of the ACT tests and academic records. The ACT scores will be Used because they help to standardize high school re-cords. The results reflect a comparison of student achi-evement on a nation-wide basis. Pormerly, ACT scores had been used as merely a guide for ""�11ege placement. In addition to academic re-cords, Slowinski stated that records of nonintellectual or extra-curricular activities are also considered when ac-centing an application. We want students who can !oritribute to the college, not .it solely gain an education."" ,hese activities are all part of ; student profile�a basis by Ideh students are accepted or peieeted. According to statistics, rowson will accept 200 more freshmen than are pre,ently enrolled. Slowinski stated the college will be able to accbmodate these students due to the open-ing of the new science building, which is to be completed irr 1965. This larger number of stu-dents will require more tea-chers� an estimated 30 to 35. This will create a new prob-lem of office space. ""This problem will be dealt with in due time,"" states Slowinski. Slowinski has been Director of Admissions for two years at Towson. Formerly, he was with Rutgers University, New Jer-sey. Tuesday's Senate meeting was typical of the usual Towson State SGA Senate meeting. Michael B. Grossman of the Politidel Science Department and James Binko of the Educa-tion Department 'are the body's new advisor and associate ad-visor, respectively, as announced by President Ken Masters through a letter from Dr. Haw-kins. The NSA, the Foreign Stu-dent Committee, and the ICC made announcements concerning their organizations, and all re-quested help from the students for their programs. Kathi Austin, SGA Treasurer, reported a balance of $59,405.50 in the SGA account in Annap-olis. Because of three absences from the Senate meetings, the following organizations have been suspended until next sem-ester: Newman Club, Spanish Club, Christian Scientists, Folk Music Society, and the Modern Dance Club. These groups will keep their current budgets but may not receive any additional funds. They will be reinstated in February. Allocations of $48.40, $133.40, and $33.84 were made to the College Centre Board, the Men's Residence Council, and Gamma Theta Upsilon, respectively.

Commit-tee case include both in-dividual student violations and organization violations. After a written report of a violation has been received by the committee, it calls in the student involved for a meeting. The student, who has also re-ceived a copy of the complaint against him, is expected to come to the meeting to discuss the situation informally and present his feelings about the case. He may bring someone to this meeting to speak in his behalf if he wishes, and the entire discussion is held in strict confidence. After hear-ing all the aspects of the case, the student is dismissed, and the committee makes its decision and sends a recommendation to the President of the College. All recommendations of the SGA�Faculty Judicial Commit-tee are subject to the approval of President Hawkins. The president may approve the re-commendation, or he may re-turn it to the committee and suggest that they reconsider their decision. After the recommendation is approved, the committee notifies the strident of its action. The committee has the authority to recommend expulsion, if it deems it appropriate, although most committee members consider their purpose to be the education of the student rather than his discipline. After receiving the decision of the committee, the stu-dent has the right to appeal it to the president. Initiated to relieve the Stu-dent Life Committee of the burden of handling rule in-fractions, the SGA�Faculty Judicial Committee meets on Monday at 5:00 P.M., whenever necessary, in the President's Room. It, operates under its own constitution. The commit-tee's seven members include three faculty members and four students. Resident and com-muting students of both sexes are represented. Student mem-bers are appointed at the re-commendation of the SGA, while faculty members are ap-pointed by the President of the College.
