SUNDERLAND EGA President John Tallman closed out his administration Tues-day by reminding the Senate of its potential and emphasizing that ""it takes a great deal of responsibility and work to make this body function as it should."" ""This responsibility lies in the hands of those who will run the Student Government Association next year,"" the retiring executive said.

Congressman Brewster had little competition from Blair Lee III, who polled 70 votes to Brewester's 196 in the Senatorial race. Other candidates in the two races collected insignificant numbers of votes.

""This is one of the greatest and most important contributions we could have made to this campus,"" he asserted, ""because until now there has been no organized judicial system here."" ""Certainly the code is no perfect jewel, but let us call it a diamond in the rough. It is the greatest responsibility of the new Senate to set the board up and administer it.19 All that is necessary now for the judicial board to go into effect is approval by the college senate, comprised of faculty members. The code outlines definite penalties for violations of its rules, the first such outline on campus. Tallman called the formation of the Inter-Collegiate Council (Baltimore area colleges, in-chiding Towson) another of the high points of this past SGA year.

Because the Wilson Line went out of business last week, a new trip had to be planned for the annual outing. Sue Parkhurst, who is in charge of making the arrangements, ex-plained that Towson would use the Wilson Lines which operate out of Washington. D.C. Buses will leave from in front of Newell Hall at 8:00 a.m. The Harford Motor Company will supply ' the transportation for many of the students, the rest traveling by private car. The excursion boat, which is similar to the Bay Belle, will leave from Pier 4 in Washington for Marshall Hall, a trip lasting approximately one hour. Marshall Hall includes such facilities as a swimming pool, amusements, a picnic grove, a pavilion, and a gambling casino. A band will perform at the pavilion, and there will also be entertainment on the boat trip, Miss Parkhurst said. John Schuerholz will be the MC on the boat, and Leo Orlando and his band will play both on the boat and at Marshall Hall. The picnikers will leave Marshall Hall at 5:30 p.m., and will be re-turned to the pier about 6:50 p.m. They will then return to Towson by bus or private car. Anyone wishing to entertain in any way should contact Sue Park-hurst. Box 652.
