IN Sponsors 3-Day Conference From Friday, March 4, to Sunday, March 6, in connection with the observance of the one-hundredth anniversary of the establishment of Towson State College, the International Re-lations Club and Michael B. Grossman, its advisor, are sponsoring a series of lectures to be attended by students and faculty members from colleges in the Middle Atlantic States. Purpose The topic of the Conference will be nationalism in Latin America. One purpose will be to study the apparent redirection of nationalism in Latin America into a major force in political, social, and economic affairs. It it hoped that the manifestations and aims of nationalism as a universal political force will be brought out. Three countries in Latin A-merica will be studied: Mexico, Bolivia, and Brazil. National- 'ism in these countries will be discussed by panels of three speakers each on Saturday evening, March 5. On Saturday afternoon, three-member panels will discuss the roles of the Church, the peas-antry and labor, and the in-tellectuals in nationalist move-ments in Latin America.

Burgeoning enrollments (30% increase in the last year alone), growth of aca-demic programs, and physi-cal expansion are keynotes of the second annual mes-sage to the Governor and Legislature.

It calls for frank acknowledgement of the finan-cial implications of the 1963 Leg-islation transforming the Col-leges into multi-purpose insti-tuitions.

Implying that gaps in State policy are working to the detriment of a coordinated system of higher education in Maryland, the repor cites recent departure front the previous uniform framt work of faculty salaries giving the State University a competitive advantage in recruitment and retention. Among, other gaps: lack of State support for faculty fringe benefits, absence of pinpointed responsibility for meeting the need for highly specialized pro-grams. fee discrepencies, and failure to extend the State scholarship program to the State College system. Of particular urgency is the lag in construction of needed buildings: ""Delay is costly not only in money, as construction expenses con-stantly rise, but in educa-tional opportunity, as the Colleges are obliged to re-ject qualified applicants due to insufficient facilities"" Comer S. Coppie, Executive Director of the Board, disclosed that enrollment at Frostburg State College is suffering a three year freeze due to lack of facilities. At Towson State College. he revealed that the situation is even more critical�accommoda-tion of 1,000 students there hangs upon provision of tempor-ary emergency facilities. will consider past trends in nationalism, concentrating their efforts on typical socio-economic bases for nationalism, the uses of nationalism in maintaining political controls within a coun-try, and the relationship of na-tionalism with democracy and autocracy.
