The Board, act-ing upon Governor Tawes' Bud-get Message delivered early in 1965 which requested that certain auxiliary services be placed on a self-supporting or self-liquidating basis, stated that they will request of th2 legislature next year to be granted the authority to issue revenue bonds for the construc-tion and operation of these aux-iliary services. It was estimated in a report submitted to the Board by one of its sub-committees that, con-sidering the projected and pro-posed needs of the five State Towson Draws Second Place In Loyola Debate Contest On December 2-3. the Towson Varsity Debate Team won their first trophy of the year. Mike Ratliff and Kathleen Gregory were first in point score and second place over-all. The met and scored over such teams as Catholic University, University of Virginia, Cornell, University of Richmond, and Case Institute of Technology.

Colleges for auxiliary facilities for the next fifteen years, the total revenue bond indebtedness of the Board of Trustees by 1980 might reach as high as $78 million. The Board also requested that their authority to issue bonds also include the authority to de-posite all funds and fees ac-quired from these self-liquidat-ing services be deposited in a non-budgeted account so that potential profits and losses of the services at the individual state colleges might be balanced out more adequately. The Board stated that the ability of the Board of issue bonds covering general construction projects at the State Colleges would enable the Board to obtain lower in-terest rates on the bond issues. The report on revenue bond financing stated that few if any states had actually been able to construct and operate auxiliary services on a 100% self-support-ing basis. There is usually some form of subsidy, such as the piovision of utilities or other services without cost to the residence hall or other simi-lar structures. The Board also approved, at least in principle, the adoption of a Cooperative Educational Program Policy which would en-able a student of one state col-lege to persue courses for credit at one or more of the other state colleges under the juris-diction of the Board.
