House Resolution On Dorms Delegates Hess and McGuirk introduced House Resolution No. 26 to the Maryland House of Delegates on February 10, 1966. The resolution reads as follows: WHEREAS, Recently the Colleges announced and put into effect a new policy on housing of students at the State Colleges Which would have required those students living more than 20 miles from the college to live at home and not on the Campus, and WHEREAS, As originally announced the new housing Policy was to be effective at the beginning of the 1966 fall semester and therefore applicable to all classes of students at the colleges, and WHEREAS, Such a policy would have been extremely harsh in its effect upon those students enrolled at the col-leges prior to the 1966 fall nester, and WHEREAS, The Board of Trustees later reached a similar conclusion and has now announced that the new housing policy will only be made applicable to the pre-sent freshman class and to the incoming freshman class at the 1966 fall semester, now, therefore, be it (Continued on Page 4) Issmansonsmen ' March 11, 1966 Back L-R�D.

Economist Sees Rising World-Wide Inflation A world-wide inflationary movement is under way, said Dr. Charles F. Phillips, Presi-dent of Bates College, Lewis-ton, Maine in an address given at Towson last week. Phillips added that prices will rise a minimum of twenty to thirty percent in the next fifteen years, and a considerably greater ad-vance is likely. ""The statistics from coun-try after country,"" said Phillips, ""confirm that the current trend toward higher prices is world-wide in scope. In England, prices rose 5 percent during 1965, and they advanced even more rapidly in Italy, Sweden, Denmark, British Debators Were Over Here �n Tuesday, March 1 Towson (.,""'tate College played host to the ;aolbridge International Debate in Stephens Hall Auditor- ;M.

Blaine Brewer pointed out that ""there is no need for welfare state in an affluent society."" Backing his argument, he listed four needs: housing, health care, education, and employment education. The first British debater, Michael Hartley-Brewer, broke the formal atmosphere of the debate by preceding his speech with a few jokes such as: ""Do you know why the sun will never set on England? Because God won't trust an Englishman in the dark!"" Also, ""If we gave our atomic secrets to the Rus-sians, it would set them back twelve years!"" He then proceeded to speak; in fact, he continued to speak even after he had been given the ""stop"" sign by Timekeeper, Paula Herminan. The second debater for Tow-son, Michael Ratliff, reiterated the four basic needs previously described by Blaine Brewer, ad- (Continued on Page 6) and Spain."" The Bates College President pointed out that prices in France have increased over 33 percent in the past decade, that they have doubled in Spain, and soar-ed twelvefold in Argentina. ""This same inflationary trend exists in our own country. Just since 1950, prices have gained 30 per-cent, and in recent months the rate of increase has been accelerating."" ""In brief, we have not yet learned how to achieve rapid economic growth without pur-suing policies which lead to fur-ther inflation,"" concluded Dr. Phillips. Phillips is a graduate of Colgate University and the Har-vard School of Economics and Business Administration. Prior to accepting the Presidency of Bates College in 1944, he was associated with the National De-fense Advisory Commission and the Office of Price Administra-tion during World War II, and served as Deputy Administrator for Rationing throughout the United States. A frequent contributor to eco-nomic and business professional journals, Phillips is the author, co-author, or editor of some six books including A Tax Program to Encourage the Further Eco-nomic Growth of Puerto Rico, (1958). Noted Psychologist Is Next Featured Speaker Psychologist B. F. Skinner, currently Edgar Pierce Profes-sor at Harvard University, will speak at Towson State College on the 'feasibility of creating utopian societies in an address entitled Utopia. Now?, Wednes-day, March 23 at 8:15 p.m. in Stephens Hall Auditorium. Dr. Skinner will be appearing at Towson under the auspices of the Towson State Centennial Committee. Skinner's major field of in-terest is the experimental analy-sis of behavior. His techniques for the study of 'operant' be-havior, in which probability or rate of response is emphasized, are widely used in both basic research and in industry. While working primarily with rats and pigeons, he has extended his techniques to the human organism in the study of psychotic be-havior, the analysis of verbal behavior, the design of in-structional devices and in the analysis of cultures. Graduating from Hamilton College in 1926, Skinner pur-sued both his M.A. and Ph.D. degrees from Harvard Univer-sity. He was a National Re-search Council Fellow from 1931-1933 and a Junior Fellow in the Harvard Society of Fel-lows from 1933-1936. Dr. Skinner served on the Psychology faculty of the University of Minnesota from 1936 thrugh 1945. Dur-ing the period of 1942-1943 he conducted war research under the auspices of Gene-ral Mills, Inc. Skinner, from 1944-1945, was also a Gug-genheim Fellow. His appointment as Chairman of the Psychology Department at Indiana University came in 1945, and he served in this capa-city until becoming William James Lecturer at Harvard in the Fall of 1947. The following year he was appointed to the Harvard Psychology faculty and in 1958 was awarded the Uni-versity's Pierce Professorship. Skinner is the recipient of the Warren Medal of the So-ciety of Experimental Psy-chology awarded in 1942, and received the Distinguished Scientific Contribution A-ward of the American Psy-chological Association in 1958. A member of the National Academy of Sciences, the Amer-ican Philosophical Society, and the American Academy of Arts, Skinner is the author of numerous technical articles and has written such works as Wal-den Two (1948) a utopian no.-el, Behavior of Organisms (1938), Science and Human Behavior, a general analysis of the implica-tions of science for human af-fairs, Verbal Behavior (1957), Schedules of Reinforcement (with C. B. Ferster) (1957), and Cumulative Record (1961). Chest X-Ray Is Compulsory For Students The mobile chest x-ray unit of the Maryland Tuberculosis Association will be on Towson's campus the week of the March 28, 1966.

X-rays are required of all day students, day faculty- members, administrative personnel, and employees of the College. A time schedule to regulate the flow of people will be pub-lished at a later date. A stu-dent unable to come at the ap-pointed time may come at any time there is not a long line. These schedules will be attached to the posters on all bulletin boards. Negative tuberculin tests will be accepted in place of x-rays as evidence of freedom from the tuberculoses.

Those having x-rays at the time of entry in September or October 1965 will not need to repeat the x-ray at this time. "
