Beta Gamma Unit 'Best In The State' by Fred Cogswell Beta Gamma, the campus Civil Defense organization, has finally achieved its goal. According to Mr. Tildmand, the group "is the best outfit in Maryland." Forty-seven students are now members of Beta Gamma. They meet Monday, Wednesday and Thursday in the following small groups: police and general organi-zation, mechanical service, com-munications, first aid, food, sanita-tation and and radiological monitor-ing. The groups meet to plan and talk over their part in the overall Civil Defense program. This en-thusiastic group receives no college credit for their time�they give freely of their time. In the event of nuclear attack, this organization becomes opera-tional in two minutes. They are responsible for all phases of close living for the Towson campus stu-dents in the under ground bomb shelter. Beta Gamma still needs interested people to work on thej above committees.

This committee has launched a drive on college cam-puses to collect one million signa-tures on a petition asking for the show's return. In requesting the return of this show, the committee pointed out that they are "dissatisfied with the image of American youth which mass media public so often presents to the . . . College News Con ference' has consistently projected a more accurate and inspiring pic-ture of American youth as thinking, mature and informed individuals with real concern for serious pro- , blerns."
