ERV BUENNEMAN President of Men's Club MSA Considers Crediting STC Dance Slated 9-12 In Gym An informal dance, the Spring Carnival, will be presented by the Men's Club tomorrow night, March 26, from nine until 12. Music for the affair, to be held in the STC gym, will be supplied by Tom Fort, his orchestra and drums. Tom is well known not only as a student at STC, but for his top-notch per-formances at school dances in the past. Tickets for the dance have been priced at $1.50 and can be secured from members of the dance commit-tee or at the booth in the lower hall of the administration building. Erv Buenneman, president of the Men's Club, had this to say in re-gard to the dance, ""Because this is the first affair sponsored by the Men's Club in years, and since we receive no financial support from the SGA, I urge all men to faith-fully attend."" Buenneman, at a re-cent meeting of the group, facetious-ly pointed out that girls were wel-come, too. All proceeds from the dance will be used for the benefit of the men and all students of STC. The plans for the dance are un-der the supervision of-social chair-man Bob Watson. Decorating the gym will be Ed Klein, decoration chairman, and his committee: Bud Thacker, Jack Shiffiet, and Leonard Bernhart. Further accrediting of STC as an educational institution has been the subject of a recent visit by the Middle States Association Commit-tee on March 16-18. STC is already fully accredited by the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education, but further credit is de-sirable, especially in regard to the Junior College curricula. The committee was entertained at dinner in the dorm, and toured the school in its inspection of our fa-cilities, faculty, and students. The members of the committee were: Dr. James A. McClintock (chairman), Director of Personnel, Brotrers College, Drew University. Dr. H. F. Cotterman, Dean of the Faculty, University of Maryland. Dr. Wray H. Congdon, Dean of Students and Director of Personnel, Lehigh University. Dr. Charles S. Swope, President, West Chester State Teachers Col-lege. Miss May Morris, Librarian, Dick-inson College. SGA Requests Money Reports The SGA will begin discus-sions of the budget for 1940- 1950 in the near future. Treas-urers of all organizations op-erating under the SGA are reminded to submit their books for this year and pro-posed budgets for next to the SGA before April 1. Gym Classes Give Dances Freshmpn, sophomore, junior, and senior girls gave a repeat perform-ance of the folk dances given on Demonstration Night for the mem-bers of the Maryland Association for Health, Physical Education, and Recreation and public school teach-ers of Baltimore city and Baltimore County in the STC gym on Monday, March 14. Important officials who were present included Herbert R. Steiner,. board of education of Balti-more County, and Thomas C. Fer-guson, State Supervisor of Physical Education and Recreation. After the performance, girls who participated instructed some of the visitors in the dances for their own teaching. Because of the lack of seating space in the gym, it was im-possible for all these guests to be present on Demonstration Night proper, hence the extra session. Miss Daniels received the follow-ing 'letter regarding the perform-ance: Dear Miss Daniels: I want again to tell you how much we appreciate your wonder-ful cooperation in helping to make the folk dance workshow such a success. Please thank the students for our association and tell them that they have made history! Sincerely yours, ETHEL E. SAMMIS, Assistant State Supervisor of Physical Education and Rec-reation. "
