tl19610317-000 "TOWER LIGHT State Teachers College, Towson 4, Maryland March 17, 1961 !Kappa Delta Pi Initiates Free Student Tutor Service If the thought of solving a gene-tics problem, organizing that impos-sible term paper, recifering Paradise k Lost, or understanding why Liber-alism differs from Nationalism strikes a note of fear, terror, or bewilderment in the very core of Y�11r being, and causes nervous ten-si� n, emotional instability, or accute 0 � ental anxiety, then this article 1flay be of interest to you. For the benefit of students who g' desire to improve their scholastic stauding, Kappa Delta Pi, the national educational fraternity on ealt 11Pus, is initiating a student .4t�1111g service. This service will enable a student who is having (1ii1ieulty in a particular area to i Ou1..tain, free of charge, aid from a 1t 101 sttident tutor, who has been re-c� Minended by the faculty. 'rile organization of this service is. relatively simple: students de- Sing help in a subject obtain an licat on from Dean Browne's oflice, fill it in and obtain the signa- 1 tttre r of the course instructor. Then In'tx the form to Box 401 in the Iti? Stu,ent mail. The arranging of the meeting of the tutor and the o'� 4t4dent and the notifying of both 40 parties will be made as soon as 10' IcIssible. The amount of time and do w 1):rk involved in the sessions will th determined by the student and t tutor, and tutoring will cease t'un the judgment of the tutor. All will�1.11ig will be terminated two t'eks before final exams. 4:11is service is not to tutor for entire course. It is to help in 'tizirclblern areas which have proven b0 �I sufficient difficulty so that the student is unable to solve the l'tIbleM on his own. Difficulty may k,s1Se specific parts of a course, h as understanding time zones tiuhgeGgraPhy or using correct pro-p: 4 references in English corn-siti� 11. If one has tried to solve 111 similar problems on his own and have failed, perhaps this service could be a benefit to him. This service will go into effect on Monday, March 20, 1961. Just as it was designed by students for the benefit of the student body as a whole, so its success or failure will rest with students�the sincerity of the applicants, the ability of the tutors and, most important, the re-sults. it produces in individual cases and in the ultimate goal of con-tributing to the scholarship and intellectual atmosphere of the college.

The scholarships, ranging from $25 to $100 for a year, are given primarily to those with the greatest financial need. Other factors taken into consideration are how much the student is helping himself through part time jobs and summer employment, his participa-tion in campus activities, the re-sults of a personal interview to clarify his application, and his academic standing. It should be emphasized that a person does not necessarily have to have high aca-demic rank but should at least be in good standing. Application blanks may be ob-tained from the business office, must be signed by your advisor, and then given to Mr. Rubendall, chairman of the subcommittee on scholarship aids, in room 21B. Another form of scholarship aid, a federal loan, may also be obtained. This can be used as a double measure in the event a scholarship is not received. Other aids that could be investi-gated are those available from your local community groups, such as the P.T.A. Also, the Towson catalogue may hold some valuable information. Students are encouraged to file. Mr. Rubendall has emphasized that you are judged principally on finan-cial need and that you need not be brilliant to receive aid. Re-member, the deadline is April 10.

Students at the recent constitution revision meeting tentatively approved the above as the preamble for the Stu-dent Government Association's new constitution. Mr. Joe Glass, S.G.A. Parliamentarian, introduced parts of the constitution, written by his Judicial Committee, and these ideas were discussed and minor changes added where deemed necessary. Among the ideas discussed at this meeting was the veto power of the President, which was considered necessary. Also discussed was the membership of the President's cabinet and the determination of who was to have a vote in this, the Executive Branch. The possibility of a bicameral legislature was considered. This would include a lower house with representatives from Organizations, as well as the upper house (Senate), which has been mentioned in pre-vious proposals concerning S.G.A. structure. Also mentioned was provision for the inclusion of a judicial branch even though this would not be established immediately following the approval of the constitution. Next Tuesday another meeting is scheduled to continue preparing the draft of the constitution. It will begin at 7:30 p.m. in the S.G.A. office. ""The S.G.A. directly and indirectly affects the college life of each student. Therefore, since many of the proposals for the new S.G.A. structure can be classified as radical, I hope that many students would be interested enough to express their opinions,"" explained John Tallman, S.G.A. Member-at-large. Hawkins Is Named Representative Dr. Earle T. Hawkins, President of Towson State Teachers College, was one of six college presidents recently elected as representatives to the National Commission on ac-creditation for the newly-organized Association of State Colleges and .
