Dr. Delgado was able to constrict the pupil of the animal's eye to act like the diaphram of a camera for ex-tended periods. Animals have been forced to turn their head, wiggle their ears, walk on two feet, and sleep. An electrical stim-ulus has occasionally un-leashed a complicated chain of spontaneous activity. Electrical stimulations have not only affected motor mechan-isms but also destroyed inhi-bitions. In the human experiments, electrodes have been im-planted in the brain for diag-nosis and treatment of epilepsy, intractable pain and involuntary movement. Treatments have shown that it is possible to induce recollec-tions of the past, hallucinations, sensations of fear and the threat of unknown danger, increased friendliness, laughter, memory lapses and other psychic mani-festations. anne Wolfkill as Ismene, Julie Austin as Panope, and Bob Eliot and Mike Miller as Guards. ""Phedre,"" a 17th century play based on a Greek production by Euripedes, is a tale of il-licit love. Queen Phedre, think-ing her husband Theseus dead in the wars, falls in love with her stepson Hyplotus, Theseus' son by another woman. When she confesses her desire, Hyplo-tus is left horrified, for he himself is in love with someone else. To Phedre's dismay, The-seus suddenly returns. She must face the possibility of Hyplotus' confession of her overtures to his father. Therefore, Phedre's nurse Onon attempts to frame Hyplotus into appearing as the promiscuous lover. After Theseus exiles the innocent Hyplotus, Phedre discovers her stepson's true love to be Aricie and burns with jeal-ousy. Phedre soon returns to rea-son, however, confesses her sins to Theseus, and commits sui-cide. ""Phedre"" is particularly suited to 17th century sensibil-ities and tastes.

Dean Gilbert Hill opened the address with the latest statistics from the Academic Standard Committee. Enrollment for the fall session was 2982 and a new low in dismissals and probations brought the spring session en-rollment to over 2800. An-nouncements of the rescheduling of exams to May 23-30 will not affect the June 5 commencement. Following remarks by the S.G.A. president Neal Brooks on student participation, Dean Hill introduced President Hawkins as the new president of the As-sociation of State Colleges and Universities. ""Ac we get larger"" is the recurrent quote used in all discussions of the state of the college. President Haw-kins likened Towson's growth to that of an adolescent. ""The transition from a small single purpose college to a large multipurpose institu-tion is, like adolescence, ex-citing and important"" ""The first time I addressed the students of Towson, there was the total enrollment of 600 present,"" the President said. The combined day, night, and summer enrollment is now over 7000. Dr. Hawkins stressed the important role of public colleges who edu-cate 66(4 of the college stu-dents in the U.S. A majority of Maryland schools that are publically fi-nanced date back to the Lincoln land grant schools such as the University of Maryland and the normal schools like Towson, Coppin, Salisbury, Frostburg and St. Mary's. The emphasis on public higher education is also exemplified by the eleven growing junior colleges in Maryland. The importance of state college expansion, especially at Towson, is apparent in the studying being done about Mrs. Esther Coulange gives February 22 recital at LLTS state college methods. Tow-son is being considered for a conference for innovations on new develpment of cur-riculum and instruction. If plans are completed, repre-sentatives from state col-leges all over the country will visit Towson in May for conferences and observation. Touching more on present af-fairs at Towson, President Hawkins remarked on the pro-gress of building plans. ""Walls going down and pipes going up"" is typical of all colleges today. The one million dollar addition to the dining hall and snack bar will hopefully be finished by fall. The new gymnasium is in the bidding stage and build-ings as the new classrooms, ser-vice building, parking lots and quadrupling the size of the li-brary are in various stages of planning. A new student union and residence halls are to be financed solely by student funds which will call for in-creased tuition and room and board in the future. A fine arts building is also in the planning stage. All the aspects of Towson's curriculum are under scrutiny and improvements in course of- (Continued on Page 4) Fire Racks Our Sister College Fire destroyed 10,200 homes in Lapaz, Philippines, home of Ilio Ilio College, sister college to Towson State. Students at the college are without homes, clothing. food, and books due to the destruction of 1,500 homes of the Ilio Ilio campus. Frank Patten., Illio Illio ex-change program representative wrote in a letter to the Tower Light, ""I have received some of the most heart-rending letters explaining students' dire plight and the outlook for the future is quite hopeless."" Inquiries or help from Towson students are reques-ted to aid the sister college. Aid should be addressed to Dr. John Ledesma, Superin-tendent of Schools, Provience of Ilio Ilio, Lapaz, Philip-pines. So that a record can be kept of gifts from the college, stu-dents willing to help should con-tact Frank Patten, the Towson representative. "
