Dean Murphy, Dean of Stu-dents, Donald Slowinski, Direc-tor of Admissions, Mr. Pryor, Director of Finance, Mr. Sar-tori, Registrar, and Mr. Haslup, Associate Dean of College and Director of New Student Orien-tation, have voiced support of the measure. The financial feasibility of the mailboxes was expressed and the committee recommended the immediate purchase of 2000 mailboxes, in addition to the continuing purchase of boxes to meet demands in succeeding years. The fate of the recommenda-tion rests with Dr. Earle T. Hawkins whose approval is needed before action can be taken. The Board of Trustees must also pass the measure pro-viding for the installation of boxes by September. The Student Life Committee of Towson State unanimously Passed a resolution last week calling for student mailboxes. A three member sub-com-mittee of the S.L.C., under the chairmanship of Doug Norwood, Submitted a four-page report for considera-tion. Dean Francis LeMire and Susan Miskelly, S.G.A. worked compiling Parliamentarian, with Norwood in the report. Under the proposal, all day students will benefit by receiv-ing mailboxes at the cost of $1 Per semester. The plan would go into effect next September; use of mailboxes, it was noted, was discontinued last September. The committee pointed out several advantages of mail-boxes, namely: 1) Direct communication from the college to the stu-dent promptly, 2) Communication by the college with the student would be less costly for the college, 3) There could be intra-college communication, and 4) Organizations could send announcements of meet-ings to their members; how-ever, since there are so many organizations, the Student Government Association can-not pay to send out their announcements. The disadvantage pointed out by the report is that if there is more than one student per mailbox, there is a possibility of theft. A poll run in the Tower Light on November 11, 1966, Produced a 70% favorable re-action to the proposal and the measure was largely sup-ported by campus leaders.

Participants from nearby colleges have also been involved in planning. Towson students must have valid I.D. cards with the new validation sticker.

Committee Submits Football Survey By SHARON Last spring, President Haw-kins asked Dr. Minnegan to head a survey committee to study the feasibility of a foot-ball program at Towson. He and his group submitted a 27-page report which was reviewed by the Ad Hoc Committee on Foot-ball and was approved. The fol-lowing is part of the summary of that report prepared by Dr. Minnegan and Paul Case of the Revision Committee. The survey committee urged an adoption of a five-year plan for putting football into Towson and limited their studies to twelve basic problems. The as-sumption was also made that Towson would be playing small college football inside of their present program with no spec-ial privileges. The first question was one of manpower. At the present, 44 males stated they would play now if the program was in ef-fect. By 1968, 60 men should be available; and according to th2 projected enrollment, 1970 should produce more than enough men to play on both freshmen and varsity levels. To have football as a new sport, the following must give WOOTTON their approval: the men's phys-ical education department, the Senate Committee on Intercol-legiate Athletics, and the Pres-ident, representing the ultimate authority on all college decisions. Question =8 concerned sched-uling problems. A two-phase program was suggested. The first phase, covering the falls of 1968 and 1969, would see Tow-son play a six-game schedule with college freshmen and jun-ior varsity teams. The second-phase, scheduled for fall 1970, includes the laun-ching of a college varsity sched-ule against such Mason-Dixon teams as Johns Hopkins, West-ern Maryland, Gallaudet, Frost-burg, Bridgewater (Va.), Hamp-den- Sydney, Randolph Macon, and Washington and Lee. Ar-rangements for games must be made from two to five years in advance, so this must be done soon if games are to be played. The facilities needed for a football team include convert-ing two pre-fab buildings into storage and dressing rooms and leasing a field from Johns Hop-kins, Calvert Hall. or Loyola. For the second-phase, a foot- (Continued on Page 6) "
