The second issue of Alba-tross, an intercollegiate magazine of letters founded by students at Swarthmore College, was released last week. As a journal of intercollegiate student opinion, the Albatross now has subscribers on thirty-eight campuses. The magazine is based on the Swarthmore campus with Blake F..mith as editor.

The recent issues feature a debate on the House Committee on Un- American Activities, and a plan for Food for Peace by an Amherst undergraduate. including his letter addressed to Mao Tse-Tung on send- :ng American surplus foods to the government of Mainland China. The editors encourage interested students to submit letters to the Albatross. Swarthmore College, Swarthmore, Pennsylvania. Sub-scriptions are $1.75 for a six issue year.

TEEP and STEP Test USNSA Plans Conference Scheduled In March According to Dr. Harold Moser, On Youth Service Abroad head of Towson's testing bureau, 261 students are scheduled to take the Teacher Education Examination Program test on March 15, 1961. The tests lasting all day, from 8:30 a.m. to 3:45 p.m. will be adminis-tered to 258 present Towson seniors plus three students enrolled in Towson's graduate program. The TEEP tests are being given to all teachers college students in Maryland. They consist of the General Professional Examinations and a series of Teaching Field Tests. Questions on the tests are all of the objective multiple choice type. The purpose of these senior tests is to measure certain areas of teacher preparation and to guide administrators in choosing students for certain teaching positions. The TEEP tests are newer, more re-liable examinations fashioned after the National Teacher Examinations that have been in use since 1940. Soph Tests On Thursday, March 16, from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., and Friday, March 17, from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m., 420 sophomore students will take the Sequential Test of Educational Progress. Regular morning classes for sophomores will be dismissed, however, those who have afternoon classes on those days are expected to attend their classes. The STEEP tests are another form of the same tests that the students took when they entered Towson as freshmen. The purpose of the tests is to test for improve-ment during the first two years at college, and to provide useful infor-mation in aiding sophomores in selecting their area of concentration if they decide to choose a concen-tration. Pier 5i Band Here Tonight The Pier 5 Band will be featured at tonight's Jam Session, sponsored by the Varsity Cheerleaders and co-sponsored by the Student Centre Board. Now in its seventh year in the jazz circuit, the Pier 5 Band is known for the way it fashions both excitement and color into its jazz interpretations. To this is added a skill not only in presenting the well known jazz numbers, but also in the initiation of the lighter clas-sics and show tunes to the Balti-more style of jazz. Scheduled to last from 8:30 to 11:30 in the Student Centre, dress for his Jam Session is casual. There is no admission fee Lemkau Speaks Here On Wednesday, March 1, Dr. Paul Lemkau spoke to Mr. Reitenbach's classes on the topic ""Mental Health in Maryland"". Dr. Lemkau is a member of the faculty of the school of Hygiene of the Johns Hopkins University, the president of the Maryland Association for Mental Health, and a nationally prominent psychiatrist. Students and youth will be, in most cases, the individuals upon whom the success of a ""Youth Peace Corps"" will rest, says James C. Scott, International Affairs Vice President of the U.S. National Student Association (NSA). And with this in mind, the NSA has called a National Conference on Youth Service Abroad, to be held March 29 through 31 in Washington, D.C., with The American University as host. Study Of Values, Not Rally ""The conference represents the first opportunity for students and youth to come together on a nation-wide basis to express their views on the Youth Corps proposal,"" says Scott. ""Rather than a rally of stud-ent support, this will be a study of the values and goals of such a proposal and the alternate methods of implementing a program of this scope."" Initiated and organized by stud-ents, the conference demonstrates the serious interest and careful study devoted to the proposal by the American student and youth community. ""Not since the Marshall plan have American students been so enthus-iastic about a program of this type,"" says Scott. ""This conference serves as a forum for the exchange of ideas and information between campus and student government groups which have been somewhat isolated in their previous activity, and as a means for transferring important information from the large number of resource persons to the student participants."" International Youth Service The conference will discuss all important aspects of an International Youth Service in an attempt to codify student and youth opinion and to provide valuable information on the problems and prospects in-herent in the program. Workshops represent the major portion of the conference, with ad-dresses and panels scheduled for the luncheon and dinner sessions during the three-day conference. Plzns for the conference are under the supervision of a National Co-ordinating Committee with Scott as chairman. Others on the committee are Robert Cambria, Young Adult Council; Joseph Berry. AFL-CIO; Craig Comstock, Harvard Univer-sity; Judy and Allen Guskin, I University of Michigan; Paul Hooper, Eastern Washington Colleg-oity; Thomas Manton, The Amer-ican University; Charles Silkett, Duke University; and Suzanre Tuohy of NSA, Coordinator and Secretary. Studenberg To Represent STC Over 300 students and youth re-presentatives will attend. The student participants will come from all sections of the country, with regional quotas established to assure a ballanced geographical represen-tation. Institutions with an enroll-ment of less than 5,000 students may send one delegate and one observer. Those with enrollments over 5,000 may send two delegates and as many observers. Diane Studenberg is Towson's Delegate. All students wishing to partici-pate must be approved by their student government body. Observers may attend all sessions and work-shops but will have no speaking privileges and must provide for their own food, lodging and trans-portation. Delegate must provide only their own transportation. Two aelegates and one observer will represent each of the 27 or-ganizations affiliated with the Young Adult Council. Frograms such as the National Conference on Youth Service A-broad are made possible only through the ideas and efforts of the students at USNSA member colleges. Policy for the Association is made during the annual National Student Congress meeting on a midwestern campus each summer and bringing together over one thousand Amer-ican students leaders for two to three weeks. Officers of the Association are elected annually by delegates to the National Student Congress and take a year off from school to serve in the national office. Approval Sought For Honor System (UPS)�A proposed academic Honor System for students at Trinity College, Hartford, may not survive an all-college referendum later this spring unless ""students do some pretty serious thinking"", charged a member of the College's Committee-of 100 last week. The all-student Committee of 100' is drafting the honor code which they hope will be incorporated into the College system. Charles Mixter, co-chairman of the Committee, says some undergraduates presently op-pose the adoption of the code be-cause they are unaware of the ""drastic and favorable change in the College's climate the system could create."" Primary objection is to a portion which some students call ""the squealer clause"". The paragraph 1 reads: ""Every man in every class must regard himself as particularly I bound by his honor not to cheat and I to report to the Honor Council any violation of the Honor Code that comes to his knowledge."" The Student Senate vice president says this clause adds necessary teeth to a program which would be in-effective without it. Another member of the Committee of 100 labeled the code ""a bunch of rules for Boy Scouts."" The Honor Code would provide for use of the honor systern for all written examintions. tests, and term papers and would establish a stud-ent Honor Council to hear charges (Continued on Page 4) "
