The convention, scheduled for April 7, will be held here and marks the first of its kind held by the Towson Circle K chapter. The chief purpose of the con-vention will be to select district officers. Also included in the pro-gram is the exchange of club activities and news. A service pro-ject contest will be featured in another event. The convention will not involve all business. The promotion of good will between the various clubs is also a goal. In an effort to achieve this end, the local club has planned U banquet, jam session, and dance. Among the college clubs ex-pected to attend the convention are the organizations from Randolph-Macon, Lynchburg, Montgomery Junior College, Salisbury, and Emory and Ilenry College. Other clubs slated to make an appearance are those of William and Mary Colleges in Norfolk and Williamsburg, Frederick College, and Virginia Polytechnic Institute.

Miss .Conners is the director of the play. The play, entitled ""The Ter-rible Tunnel Turmoil,"" de-picts what might happen if Towson was subjected to an air raid. ""When we wrote the script,"" ex-plained Miss Conners, ""we wrote it without any stage directions, so it has been ad lib all the way."" Continuing on the theme of lack of participation, Miss Conners commented, ""It was a one man show one night at rehearsal with eight girls taking twenty-two parts with one script between them."" However, she praised the stu-dents who have turned out and stated that these few had ""really worked."" ""The same people always turn out to do the work and then the others ask why things weren't done,"" she jabbed. As a final comment in regards to attendance, Miss Conners concluded, ""In other words, it was typically Towson."" Budgets Finally Considered; No Other Business Possible By Lowell E. Sunderland Before losing its quorum for the fourth straight time, the Senate finally got around Tuesday to pas-sing a second semester budget totaling $15,562.66. The budget had been on the Senate agenda for two meetings previous to Tuesday's. Only two changes were made in the original recommendations by the SGA's Financial Com-mittee and incorporated into the final budget. They are: 1. The $165 allotment to the Circle K Club was killed as that organization has not had a Senator attend Senate meetings since No-vember 11. Following the SGA Con-stitution, the group's budget was eliminated. 2. The Hostess Club was alloted $40 for the second semester. Most of the money was to go to a speaker the club had at the end of first semester. Money to pay the speaker was alloted in the first semester, but recalled to the SGA when the speaker did not submit his bill on time. An attempt by Tower Light editor Fawn Wilson to add $480 to the newspaper's budget was voted down by the Senate, 27 votes ""for,"" to 18 votes ""against."" A majority of 39 was needed to make the addition. Tuesday's meeting dissolved when Senator Lou Alsobrook moved for adjournment, but even that motion failed to receive the magic 39 re-quired votes for passage. Also-brook, Senator Richard Moss and Senator Rod Reynolds then walked out of the meeting, killing the quorum. Alsobrook in making his motion for adjournment said, ""There are only 41 Senators here now. That is only two more than a majority, and we'll never get any work done this way."" Just prior to Alsobrook's motion, two requests for special allotments of SGA funds were defeated because the motions polled a plurality' but not a majority of the votes. Senator Betty Stewart asked for $150 that would be used by the Student Christian Association choir to make a recording. She said the grant would in effect underwrite the recording, as all profit from the sale of the record would be handed back to the SGA. The motion failed to achieve a majority.
