C., against communist aggression Monday. Nearly 300 students marched in of the President of the United States the rain around the next block up on the questions of Cuba and Laos. the street from the Russian Em-bassy. Leading the demonstration was Kenny Kenton from Western Maryland College dressed as Uncle Sam. Signs were carried by many of the demonstrators; some of them read ""Stop stoning our embassies, ""Youth speaks for democracy"" and ""Western Maryland College stands against communism."" The group abided strictly with the District of Columbia regulations and stayed at least 500 feet from the embassy. There were no incidents. William E. Moore of Western Maryland College went to the Em-bassy door with a letter, written in Russian; but the embassy refused to open the doors and accept it. The students plan to mail this letter, the text of which follows: Today you are celebrating May Day with a parade of military might through the streets of Moscow. In contrast to a show of force so neces-sary for the preservation of a to-talitarian state such as your own, we American students are demon-strating peacefully in front of your embassy. Our demonstration is a result of our own individual initia-tive without the aid or prodding of the United States Government. Re-cent communist demonstrations have resulted in the wanton destruction of the property of other nations. We, however, will endeavor to respect your rights and property in this free and democratic society and will not resort to this type of action. As American students, we are aware of the challenges posed by your dictatorial system. We do not believe in the historical inevitabil-ity of communism. Rather we believe that all men will someday be free to chart their own destinies on this shrinking planet. No matter how ruthlessly and often you employ the weapons on display in Red Square today (Poland, Rumania, Czecho-slovakia, Bulgaria, the Ukraine, Lat-via, Estonia, Lithuania, Tibet, Korea, Hungary, Cuba) brave ""Freedom Fighters"" will rise up and destroy you and your inhuman system. The communist system will not be the first to fall before the onslaught of man's desires to be free. In the end you cannot prevent free men from choosing their own form of govern-ment whether it be of the left, the right, or somewhere in between. No, Mr. Chairman, we do not, we can-not, believe in the inevitability of any dictatorial system. As a freedom loving people, we detest communist infiltration and subversion in Africa, in the free areas of Asia, and in this Hemis-pherr. Because of, this, we give our wholehearted support to the stand This demonstration is obviously in support, yet independent of the United States Government. In con-trast to the communist policed states, we can demonstrate for or against our government whenever we so de-sire. On May first in America there is no need for the government to parade its armed might through the streets. Our people need never fear that their own armed might will be turned against them. They know it will be used only against their enemies. The Students of America Tallman Plans Meetings Of Officers Questionnaires have been sent out to the organization presidents seek-ing information concerning the ac-tivities of that group during the present school year. John Tallman, president-elect of the SGA, also plans to hold meetings with the president, vice-president and treasurer for next year of each campus organization. Also present at these meetings will be Bob High-smith, SGA vice-president-elect and Don Graham, SGA treasurer-elect. Discussion of SGA policy and pro-cedure for the coming year is the objective of these meetings. John hopes to clarify this policy in its relation to the organizations. He also wants the meetings to result in a better understanding of each or-ganization's goals, and plans for a more substantial program, if neces-sary, to meet these aims. ""I want to make campus organi-zations aware of the fact that the SGA's interest in them goes beyond the granting of a budget,"" explained John. Present officers are to fill out the questionnaires and return them to John Tallman before May 8. Ques-tions asked are (1) List the contri-butions of your organization to the life of the students in your organi-zation and to the entire student body during the past year, (2) In what respects do you feel that your organization has succeeded this year to accomplish the purposes for which it was organized? In what respects has your organization not succeeded this year? (3) List all recommenda-tions for helping to solve the prob-lems encountered by your organiza-tion. (4) What is the number of ac-tive members of your organiration this year? Saturday, May 6, will bring the annual celebration of May Day to the Towson campus. The theme this year is ""Rhapsody In Blue."" Carol Soulder is chairman of the May Day activities. Dr. Katherine Gilcoyne and Mrs. Esther Coulange are the faculty advisors.
