tl19510223-000 "LIGHT Vol. 5, No. 12 STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE, TOWSON, MO. Friday, Februaray 23, 1951 Cofiege To Have Mobile.,Unit On,Campus In March In conjunction with the tubercu-losis control program of Baltimore County, the mobile x-ray unit of the State Department of Health again will be on the campus of State Teachers College this year. Plans have been completed by Dr. Mary Buckley, School Physician, for the unit to operate Monday and Tuesday, March 5th and 6th re-spectively, in order that all students may have the opportunity to take advantage of this service. The unit will be located in front of Newell Hall and will function during the hours 9:00 to 12:00 a. m. and 1:00 to 4:00 p. m. on both days. All faculty, students, and personnel of the col-lege are to participate in the survey. A community, as is this campus, can only maintain health through the efforts of each individual member of the community. It is essential, therefore, that everyone avail him-self of this opporeunity in order to be assured of his own health as well as that of his neighbors. A mass x-ray survey is not con-ducted solely for the purpose of detecting tuberculosis. Diseases such as cancer of the lung, heart irreg-ularities and other abnormalities of the chest may be diagnosed as a result of the x-ray. It serves also as a means of public education as Hawkins To Wed At the Sweetheart Dance on Sat-urday, February 10, an announce-ment was made to the student body of the engagement of Miss Juanita Greer to Dr. Earle T. Hawkins, president of State Teachers College. Miss Greer and Dr. Hawkins have been friends for many years, having met in Bel Air where he was prin-cipal of the Bel Air High School and she was the Head of the Home Economics Department. Miss Greer was also resident Di-rector here at State Teachers for four years. A graduate of Hood College and Columbia University, Miss Greer was also Chief Dietician at Johns Hopkins Hospital at one time. The wedding will be held in June, in Bel Air, shortly after the close of college here. They will take a trip to the West Coast and then will be at home to friends at Glen Esk sometime during the later sum-mer. Miss Greer has been described by friends as a lovely person, charming, a perfect dresser and a very good hostess. Dr. Hawkins, when ques-tioned about this, said he ""certainly couldn't deny it, but maybe I'm prejudiced."" it arouses interest in these diseases and is a means of informing the public of what is being done in the effort to control and eventually eradicate them. This survey has been arranged through the cooperation of the Office of the College Physician, the Balti-more County Health Department and Baltimore County Public Health Association. Morgan Choir Presents Vespers Members of the Morgan State Choir will present a musical pro-gram as part of theStudent Christ-ian Association Vesper Service to be held next Wednesday at 7:15 in the Lida Lee Tall auditorium.

The Social Responsibility Com-mission, under the leadership of the Laura Odegard. and Lorraine Cronmiller, has made the arrange-ments for this special service. Rings and Royalty Amid valentines and hearts, Bet-ty Lou Draper and ""Bucky"" Kim-mett were selected the 1951 Sweet-hearts at the S.G.A. dance held in the gym Saturday, February 10.

Another memorial event of the evening was the announcement of the engagement of Miss Juanita Greer to Dr. Earle T. Hawkins, president of Towson State Teachers College. During the course of the evening engagements were made between Barbara George and Bill Groth, Cora Clark and Paul Arend, Carol Lee Koenig and Bill List, and Nancy Crist and Evan Llewellyn. Ex Council News Unanimity characterized the SGA meeting this week, as the members of the Executive Board voted on new budget appropriations. Allo-cations of funds to the TOWER LIGHT, the FAC, the Foreign Stu-dent Fund, and the two delegates representing the school at the East-ern States Association Convention, were voted upon and 'passed unani-mously. The requests, which had been made at last week's meeting, had been referred to the Finance Com-mittee, one of the many committees composed of Executive Board mem-bers to expedite SGA affairs. The committee's report was presented by its chairman, Don Rogerson. Individual Vote A motion from the floor to pass the report was voted down when Marge Klepper suggested an indi-vidual vote be taken for each ap-propriation. All the appropriations were then voted on and passed un-animously, with little or no discus-sion. $100.00 for expenses was allocated to the two people representing the school at the Eastern States Assoc-iation. Paul Whitehurst, president of the Sophomore Class, will attend the convention representing the State of Maryland as a member of the Board of Controls. Mr. Hoddi-nott will possibly attend, as the president of the Student Body is usually elected to go. $100.00 was allocated to the FAC. The FAC is appropriated funds eve-ry year at this time, as their budget is planned from February to Febru-ary. $200.00 in additional funds was voted to the TOWER LIGHT. These additional funds were the subject of the heated budget controversy last year. The funds, according to the Editor of the TOWER LIGHT, Joan Migliarini, will be used for photo-graphy and general improvement of the paper. Foreign Student $300.00 was allocated to the For-eign Student Fund, a remaining $150.00 to be solicited from the classes to make a total of $450.00. The remaining $150.00 is being un-derwritten by the SGA. It was suggested from the floor that the classes be solicited for $250.00, but Don Rogerson explained the in-feasibility of this suggestion by last year's results. Last year $175.00 was collected for the FSF, but due to the tighter conditions prevailing at the present time, it is unlikely that the classes will be able to contribute that amount at this time. The balance of the budget could not be given at this time, according to the treasurer, Don Rogerson, due to unascertained outstanding bills. Jim Peeling, Glee Club represent-ative, asked about a request of $80.00 for the Glee Club. President Hoddinott informed him that no such request had been made, and that it had been decided last year that all requests for additional funds were to be submitted to the Execu-tive Board early this February. Don Rogerson asked for two vol-unteers to fill open positions on the Finance Committee. The two open-ings were left by Gordon Blank and Bucky Beneze. Sylvia Mecchia and Jan Davis volunteered to take their places. Members of the Fi-nance Committee now are: Don (Continued on Page 2) Varsity: Drag Tomorrow Night Tomorrow night is the date of the VARSITY DRAG. The VARSITY DRAG is being held in the school gym and is sponsored by the Men's A. A. Last year the Mens' A. A. dance drew a good crowd and all who went had a good time. This year they are hoping for still a bet-ter crowd and have made prepara-tions accordingly. Bob Colburn, chairman of the VARSITY DRAG, and Tom Fort, head of the entertainment, have made extensive preparations for the dance, in cooperation with the other members of the Mens' A. A. Toi.i thinks he's got some good acts for the dance tomorrow night for the intermission entertainment. Refreshments at the dance will be Cokes, pretzels, and potato chips. There will be a slight charge for the cokes, but the pretzels and po-tato chips will be supplied by the. Mens' A. A. Music will be presented by the Nation's greatest. This means rec-ords, of course, but that should be no drawback, judging by last year's crowd. The gym has been specially decorated in an athletic style. Ad-mission to the VARSITY DRAG will be 50c or by Student Admis-sion Cards. Aviation Club Receives Trainer from Esso While members of the Aviation Club and other interested students and faculty members looked on, re-presentatives of the Esso Oil Com-pany presented the Link Trainer and other air center materials to the College last Wednesday, at 10 a. m.

Qieti Pialte44 Pliaciactiait As. their major production of the year, the Glen Players will present a play which has the honor of being one of the greatest musical Broadway successes on record. It is to be the largest and most difficult selection ever attempted by the group, and a great deal of preparation is being done to assure the success of the play here at State Teachers. ""Laay in the Dark"" is a musical play written by Moss Hart with the music arranged by Kurt Weill. In 1941, the play began its run on Broadway starring Gertrude Lawrence. It was in this play that Danny Kaye secured his first step toward fame. Hollywood also in-coporated the play into a movie starring Ginger Rogers. The cast for the production here at school will include at least thirty people when fully casted. The parts that have been filled so far are: Dr. Brooks J. R. Lyston Liza Elliot Debris Owings Maggie Grant Maria Fenton Miss Stevens Joyce Walger Charley Johnson George Levine Randy Curtis Bruce Godfrey Kendall Nesbitt Al Seitz The music has been adapted for the piano by Dr. Hathaway and Richard Guillsippe, who will direct the music for the entire production. Choreography for the dream sequences will be done by Jane Shapiro, Halley Ogers, and Maria Fenton. Many people with some experience are still needed for the dancing and chorus groups. Mr. Paul is directing the production."
