The amount was requested to Pay for a contest sponsored by the college's literary . magazine. Richard Moss objected to the motion, charging that the mag-azine had removed words from stories which detracted from the full effect which the stories were supposed to produce. ""You write a war story and have a soldier in the heat of battle saying 'gosh�gee whiz' "", Challenged Moss. Re asked to amend the motion to state that the request would be granted provided that the magazine agree to publish stories Without censoring them. Talisman editor, Vic Petrosino, though not a senator, was then given the floor with senate's consent. Petrosino explained that Talisman has no definite cen-sorship policy. However, the magazine, like Other publications, is aimed at a certain audience and, there-fore, has its own standards, he continued. Petrosino claimed that the staff does not edit the stories severely but prints them with the approval and advice of their faculty director. Diane Studenberg then sug-gested that, since the SGA pays the magazine's bills, senate has a (Continued on Page 4) OFFICERS OF 1HE 100th GRADUATING CLASS � Recently elected officers of the class of '66 plan their activities for this school year.

Applicants enter the program Under a two year teaching con-tract and arc then sent in large groups, or waves, into the coun-try. _, Members of each wave are divided into three smaller groups CCOrding to their educational uackground and teaching experi-ente. Experienced teachers join Gr""P A, college graduates with n� education courses comprise Group B, and teacher education graduates are part of Group C. Fawn Wilson, a 1962 Tow-son graduate, is now teaching in Kenya under Group C of this project. Miss Wilson entered the pro-gram in September and went through a one month orienta-ion period in New York. From there, she and her group flew to Paris and continued to Africa in a chartered plane. ""I am presently serving a `cadetship'"", Miss Wilson writes ""During this time I observe class-room procedures and also teach."" Employed at Kaguma, a boy's secondary school located at the foot of Mt. Kenya, Miss Wilson is preparing to teach math to the two top grades of the school. ""These are called Forms III and IV and correspond to grades 11 and 12,"" she explained. There are two classes of 30 boys in each Form, she further added. As math teacher for these grades, Miss Wilson will conduct three periods of algebra, three of geometry, one of trigonometry, and one of arithmetic to each of four classes a week. ""Because of the school's loca-tion, the boys are all Kikuyu the most intelligent of the tribe."" Miss Wilson continued. She finds that teaching these boys is not too different from the practice teaching she had at Towson. ""Once I learned how to recog-nize when someone could answer my questions. I found teaching (Continued on page 4) Explosive Population Overcrowds Library Plans are ""in the talking stage' for the possible construction of a new library building on the Towson campus, disclosed Al-bert S. Cook librarian, Miss Dorothy W. Reeder, this week. The present building, com-pleted in 1957, has been found inadequate and unable to accom-modate the expected population of the college by 1966. A survey and evaluation of the present building was con-ducted early in November by the noted library building consult-ant, Dr. Keyes Metcalf. Miss Reeder said Dr. Metcalf's report confirmed the fears of the library staff that in relation to the pre-sent college growth scale the ex-isting library building, with maxi-mum expansion, will be Made-qUate by 1966. At that time, the student en-rollment of the college is ex-peced to exceed 3,500. By 1975 the student population should exceed 6,000 students, according to the Curlett Report, said Miss Reeder. It was further pointed out by Miss Reeder that the present li-brary building was designed to house 90,000 volumes and accom-modate 1,500 students in a pri-mary, elementary, and junior high school, teachers education program. S.H. Aud. Gets New Lighting Installation of new ceiling lights has recently been completed in Stephens Hall auditorium. Recessed lights, flush with the ceiling, were placed in the front part of the auditorium last spring. They proved to be such a successful addition to existing lighting facilities that it was decided to place others through-out the ceiling. The lights give increased con-venience to musical groups and physical education classes using the auditorium. According to Mr. Karl Moser, Business Manager, new lights were requested for years by Miss Emma Weyforth, former Towson glee club director. She complained that she and her group were going blind while trying to rehearse in the previously ill-lit room. Because ei the increased illum-ination, the freshmen testing program, as well as other tests, may now be held in the audi-torium. -At present we are hard pressed to service the 1,982 stu-dents now attending Towson."" Miss Reeder said. It was also pointed out by Miss Reeder that the library officials feel that a new building, possibly located on the archery field, is the only practical answer to the explosive populaion and curri-culum problem the college is now experiencing. FAC Allotment Passed By SGA After Paring SGA senate alloted the FAC S145 Tuesday, to cover Febru-ary orientation expenses. FAC representative Donna Little asked 8325 for next semester's budget, explain-ing that this request had been reduced by 825 after a 8350 budget had been denied at the last senate meeting. Richard l?ds moved to delete S180 for a theatre party with transportation that the FAC had planned for their members and incoming students. Bob Friedenberg suggested that the entire budget be sent back for more amendment Moss's motion was then called to a vote and carried, trimming the request to $145. Paul Becker moved to further reduce this amount by cutting out a SO bus tour of Baltimore. Becker claimed that orientation to the col-lege was more important than seeing Baltimore city, and that a cheaper event on campus could replace the tour. Barbara Spigler informed the senate that previous FAC tours of Baltimore had not been suc-cessfully supported. It was also pointed out that most Towson students are from the Baltimore area and are acquainted with the city. Senator Ellen Alford then argued that the cultural orienta-tion would be beneficial as well a_s entertaining to incoming students. Becker's motion was defeated and the $145 allotment was passed. FAC also received $73.50 for debts accumulated during this semester. "
