Dr. Earle T. Hawkins, Dr. Tasker G. Lowndes Grapplers Lose To Loyola Out for its first airing this season, the Towson Ttechers wrestling squad met the Loyola grapplers on the Greyhounds home mat last Fri-day to bring horns a decision read-ing Loyola 28, Towson 9. The match was of the three-fall tandem type with eight weight classes represented. Ccorers for the locals were ""Whitey"" Lawrence (121), Dennis Psoras (165) and Bill Riordan in the 175 pound competi-tion. Starting things off with a bang, Lawrence decisioned Bob Weiss in the 121 pound match�which led the agenda�by rising from the bottom of a 'referee's position"" to gain the advantage in the first period. He managed to hold Weiss scoreless for the rest of the tussle. The 128 pound classic sal ""Little Joe"" Cerratto of Towson grappling with the Green and Gray matman, Hector Di Nardo. Cerratto began the scoring by a fast switch of po-sition in the first period which caught Di Nardo off guard. In less than five seconds ""litlle Joe"" came up from the bottom to ride the sur-prized ""Hecky"". However, De Nardo came bounc-ing back with a series of tricks which gained the Greyhounds a near fall, a bottom to top score on a roll, another rise from the bottom, a near pin, and finally Di Nardo pinned Cerratto in eight minutes and 45 seconds. Joe eluded the first pin with a mighty effort, but was finally caught. Herb Westphal, wing of last seasons local soccer eleven, was pitted against Jack Enoch for the 136 honors. Herb was trying hard, ,but just couldn't seem to gain the upper hand. Enoch got the advan-tage on a fall and eluded Herb on a bottom to top deal to take this motch. Towsonite Bill Jenkins, 145 pounder, was matched with Steve Krizan of the Charles Street aggre-gation. Krizan pulled a bottom to top scoring feat and later pinned Jenkins in two minutes and 17 seconds. Taking thier corners for the 155 pound clash, Andy Baummer, an-other local soccer player, met Francis Bower who was able to make it from the bottom in the firstperiod. Bower then got the jump on Andy in the second period Classes Elect New Officers Elections were recently held for new class officers for the Junior, Sophomore, and Freshman classes. The Junior Class elected Ginny Spalding as president; Virginia Ca-cace, vice-president; Bina Carbough, secretary; Marty Burroughs, treas-urer; Betty Costlow, social chair-man; and Andy Baumer, S.G.A. Re-presentative. For the Sophomore Class, Robert Eads is president; William Pohlmey-er, vice-president; Elizabeth Roes, secretary; Mary Gray Swami, treas-urer; Mary Lou Daum and Mary Elizabeth Davis, dorm social chair-man; and James Darnaby, S.G.A. Representative of the class. The Freshman Class elected Ervan Buenaman, president; Fred Panetti, vice-president; Sally Weld, secre-tary; Amon Burgee, treasurer; Jean-ne Cleary, day social chairman; Nancy Redford, dorm social chair-man; and Andy Bailey, S.G.A. Re-presentative. to pin him in four minutes and 35 seconds. Baummer again had his shoulders completely against the mat in the last frame. Both entering upon the mat at 165, Dennis Phoras of Towson met Loyola's Branch Jordan. Phoras got credit for a fall and a rise from the bottom. However, Jordan was pinned three times, but each time he managed to wriggel off the mat before the pin could be completed. Unusual friendliness seemed to abound in the 175 pound tussle be-tween Towson's Bill Riordan and Cartei Beese. Beese was pinned twice off the mat before Riordan managed to do the job within the space limits in the second period. However Bill, himself, was put in similiar circumstances in the final frame and in less time. Both were (Con'.t Page 5, Col. 2) WANTED!

Educators Speak At Inauguration ""I formally invest you, Dr. Haw-kins, with the full rights and privi-leges as President of this Institution. May you be happy and successful."" With these words, Dr. Tasker G. Lowndes, President of the State Board of Education, inaugurated Dr. Earle T. Hawkins as third president and eighth administrator of STC on Saturday, January 17th. Dr. Pullen Presides Presiding officer was Dr. Thomas G. Pullen, Superintendent of Schools in Maryland, who spoke about Teacher's Colleges in the state.' ""There .are 600-700 elementary and junior high school teachers needed annually in this state,"" said Dr. Pullen. ""In the three Teacher's Col-leges in Maryland, 2,500-3,000 stu-dents are needed, with the individ-ual quotas for Salisbury and Frost-burg being 350-500 students, and it should be noted that Bowie Teach-er's College has already met its en-rollment."" Teacher's Attitude Important Dr. Pullen then introduced Dr. Clyde Hill, of Yale University, whose topic for the installation ad-dress was ""Teacher Education in a Free Society,"" and he stated that the American teacher has a challenge in preparing to teach in a democra-cy. Dr. Hill feels that ""the American teacher must take vocation by the hand, to increase the boundaries of freedom. Of utmost importance in a teacher's attitude,"" said Dr. Hill, ""Is his devotion to service of man-kind, his world-consciousness, and his ability to think things through."" Dr. Hill pointed out that Towson Teacher's is 82 years old, the oldest Teacher's College in Maryland, and has graduated 10,000 students. President Speaks Following the induction by Dr. Lowndes, who deemed Dr. Hawkins ""well-qualified for his job as presi-dent,"" Dr. Hawkins spoke of the ""Contributions of Teacher's Colleges in America Today,"" stating that the purpose of STC is ""to attract worthy people from Maryland high schools and send back alert, enthusiastic, worthy teachers."" In quoting a friend, Dr. Hawkins said, ""Good teachers are born, not made, but enough are not born fast enough."" The new president feels that the primary responsibility of a Teacher's College is to bring together a faculty which will teach well and rouse the desire for education�then students will ""teach as taught, not as they were taught to teach."" Lane Welcomes Hawkins The Governor of Maryland, William Preston Lane, Jr., was a guest at the inaugural ceremony and though he registered surprise at be-ing included among the speakers, the governor did state that the goal of Maryland educators is to give this state the finest education system in America, so that ""succeeding Governor Lane was ""happy to wel-generations can be proud of us."" ""he would attain achievements in come Dr. Hawkins,"" and felt that public education."" Following the Inauguration a re-ception was held by the new presi-dent in his office, and a luncheon was served to the 600 guests in the school dining room. "
