Money for the new dormitory had been cut by Governor Tawes from the college's capital improvement budget request in January. Early this week, however, word came from Annapolis, where the General Assembly was terminating its 30-day ses-sion, that $525,000 had been re-allotted in the capital improve-ment budget for construction of the dormitory. A second request peeled from the original budget request-S9,000 for planning of a new men's dormitory -was also given the college. The reinstated allotments came as the result of an apparently effective lobbying campaign on be-half of the college by two Balti-more County legislators, James L Pine and A. Gordon Boone, and NDS loan Applkations Due April 5 Students were reminded this week that April 5 is the deadline fo-applying for National Defense Stu-dent Loans for summer school and the first semester of the 192-1963 school year. Miss Nina Hughes, chairman of the Committee on Loans, said that applications can be secured from the Business Office and must be filed with her before the deadline. Eligibility to receive the loans depends upon the full-time stu-dent's good academic standing and his satisfying all requireirwrits of the standards and practices of the college, Miss Hughes said. Interest on the loan is three per-cent annually. The interest begins to accrue and repayment begins on the outstanding balance of a loan one year after the borrower ceases to be a full-time college student, she added.

""There seemed to be agree-ment from all parts of the state that Towson should get the new dormitory,"" Dr. Hawkins said. ""There was a good deal of concerted feeling issue."" The bill authorizing addition of the funds to the budget still must be signed by the Governor, but Dr. Hawkins said he expected ""no trouble in this respect."" This is by .far the best allotment we have ever received,"" Dr. Hawkins said. ""We're very happy with it."" Total money allotted the college for capital improvements for next year is $1,706,500. The new women's dormitory will be built opposite Prettyman Hall on the athletic field there, forming part of a quadrangle between the two buildings. Dr. Hawkins said the new dormi-tory ""will be the plans to Pretty-man flipped over with a few changes."" Plans for a new men's dor-mitory will be made this year, along with plans for a new gymnasium and science build-ing; the latter two have $5.000 allotments apiece for planning. (Continued on Page 4) on the Glen Players Tour 'Beaux,' Plan To Expand The Glen Players will hit the road next week when they take ""The Beaux Stratagem"" to colleges in the area. St. Johns in Annapolis and Mor-gan State in Baltimore city are scheduled for performances of the play currently appearing on the Towson stage. ""The main problem holding the touring program up is the lack of adequate faculty staffing in the department? Dr. C. Richard Gillespie explained. The players hope to tour at least one show each year, and may ex-pand the touring program to in-clude plays designed for perfor-mance at high schools or elementary schools, Dr. Gillespie added. ""Although the facilities at Towson are not ideal, neither are those found on tour. However. the ex-perience is a valuable one,"" he continued. ""We have the student in-terest to go with the program and back it properly, and we doubt if we would have any trouble getting audiences else-where. if we only had the faculty to direct the various aspects of such a program."" Dr. Gillespie stated. A faculty director to handle the technical area and responsibility is needed most, he asserted. "
