'It 1. 41tii . gated five things students as il'IclualS could do to fulfill their individual responsibility: 1. Get in the habit of thinking in global terms; what is happening abroad today can effect us tomorrow. 2. Read Cousins' article in the December issue of the ""Saturday Review of Literature"" and other related articles. 3. Keep up to date on cur-rent affairs and problems. 4. Correspond with foreign stu-dents in other countries. 5. Get in the habit of writing to Congressmen, radio and TV stations, etc. to express opinions. Ile summed up these five points as ""Read, Correspond, Write."" Secondly, he listed five things students as groups could do: 1. Form discussions groups based on the -Goals for Americans"" publication. 2. Form groups to discuss the Great Decisions Program. 3. Form a group based on SIR�the Society for Individual Responsibility. 4. Advocate meetings between students of the various colleges in the area for informal speeches and discussions. 5. Have foreign students on campus. ""When you say don't have time to do these things, what you really mean is that 'I have other things I'd rather do,"" he declared. He noted that often people must have a disaster before anything is done about a situation. ""You must have a sense of sin before you do anything,"" he quoted Dr. John Carter Matthews of the history department as saying. Dr. Hawkins ended his speech with the challenge, ""How many of you will sign up in Mr. Wanty's office for discussions groups?"" Okays New Athletic Field, Dining Hall; Nixes Dorm By Lowell E. Sunderland ""We got just about what we hoped tor,"" President Hawkins said this week after learning Governor Tawes had sliced the college's requested 1962-1963 capital improvement budget by $853,600. The Governor recommended the college get $1,172,500 of its requested record figure of $2,- 026,100. Chief item eliminated by the Governor was a new women's dormitory (about $600,000). included was $600,000 for doubling the capacity of the dining hall to 1,000 students; $200,000 for land acquisition; $174,000 for construc-tion of a new athletic field; and two $5,000 allotments for planning new science and physical education buildings. ""I was disappointed that the dor-mitory was dropped,"" Dr. Hawkins said, ""but it was probably done be-cause we now have about 250 per-sons in the dorms who shouldn't be there."" SEC Sponsors 'Arts' Week ""The Arts"" is the title of the cul-tural week which is being spon-sored by the Special Events Com-mittee beginning February 6.

Both areas are ""off limits"" for eligibility for dormitory living, under a new non-retroactive plan of eligi-bility instituted this year.) ""We were delighted to get the physical education and science buildings,"" the President added. ""This gives us an active building program, the best we've had in about 15 years."" He explained that work is about to begin on the new health center. Bids on the work have been sub-mitted and are now under con-sideration. Work will then start on the cafeteria expansion. With that finished, it is hoped the two de-partment buildings will be started. Governor Tawes was quoted as saying ""allowances for capital items have kept well ahead of the enroll-ment increase"" in teachers colleges, when he released his budget recom-mendations. Asked to comment on this, Dr. Hawkins said he thought it not to be ""exactly correct."" The Governor's recommenda-tions are subject to approval by the General Assembly, which convenes in Annapolis February 7 for a 30-day ""short-session.""
