Abt commented that he thought he'd just spend his time in the President's office SO he could catch everybody who came by with a problem. Four distinctions were made by President Hawkins concerning the senior class. ""It is the largest four-year graduating class in Tow-son's history; some students quali-fied for senor high school teach-ing; some will graduate from the Arts and Sciences program; and, the class of '62 has been an un-usually fine class all the way through college."" Jam Session Tonight 8:30 - Patio Junior Class Election Committee Slaps Down Protest By a vote of 9 to 1, the Elec-tions Committee slapped down a protest Friday afternoon that the first primary election for junior class officers was run improperly. The protest was registered by George Henderson, Walt Mc- Donald, Allen Sparck, and Randy Grimsley. Henderson was defeated for the presi-dency by incumbent Carroll Swam. The protestants claimed that a candidate for office ran the polls for a short period of time, that the same candidate helped count bal-lots, and that persons desiring to count ballots were refused. They also claimed that voting procedure was not explained properly to classes, that some stu-dent teachers had been denied the right to vote, and that the SGA vice president was not present when the ballots were countei. NSA Circulates Cluestionaires For Opinions Student opinions on subjects ranging from Berlin to freedom rides will be sought on a question-naire circulated through mailboxes next week by NSA Coordinator Sue Berman. Miss Berman said she will use results from the poll during her attendance at the 15th National Congress of the National Student Association. After filling out the question-naires, Miss Berman said the forms should be placed in a receptacle near the mail boxes.

They were found in the trunk room, which had been thoroughly searched after the books were stolen. Abuses May Force Change At Peabody There may be a change in policy at the Peabody Library if current abuses of its borrowing privileges continue, Frank N. Jones, direc-tor, said this week. Miss Dorothy Reeder, Towson State librarian, announced at the same time that Towson under-graduate and graduate students are requested to obtain written identification forms from her be-fore using the Peabody's take-out services. Jones said that if current abuses by college students�not especially '7'esur env. oil tridan to hi t .111 chlrli.nte of metropolitan area colleges� continues, Peabody would have to lend out books only through other libraries. ""The girls searched every feasible place in the dormi-tories, and couldn't find them,"" Miss Mary Lee Farlow, resi-dence director, explained. ""We don't know what happened to them. ""All we know for sure is that they were taken some time be-tween 1:00 and 7:20 Monday morning."" A student teacher discovered the theft of the books as she went to sign out at 7:20 Monday morn-ing. All leaves were canceled for the night, although the Woman's Residence Council voted Tuesday afternoon to lift the ban on out-side leaves. ""No one was campused,"" Miss Farlow said.. ""It was just that it is not easy to set up an efficient system of signing out on a moment's notice."" She cited a dangerous situation that could stem from the books being stolen: ""I kept thinking what would happen if there should happen to be a fire. We use 'those books to check off names."" She added that the fire-proof, va.ssy oortable books are quite expensive. The books for Pretty-man, Newell, and Richmond were purchased for something around $400, she said. Bob Highsmith, last year's SGA vice president and chairman of the Elections Committee, explained the committee's ruling. Highsmith is also the new SGA president. . The first two points involved a candidate who ran un-opposed, and was therefore declared eligible to help ad-minister the election, High-smith said. He explained that no one count-ing ballots after the election could recall turning down anyone who expressed the same desire. ""The petitioners couldn't name any one individual, so we threw that point out,"" Highsmith said. -We also thought that the argument that procedure was not properly explained was an arbitrary one,"" the com-mittee chairman said. On student teachers not being able to vote, Highsmith pointed out that the polls were open until 5:00 p.m., plenty of time for stu-dent teachers to return to school. ""And their last point had no basis,"" Highsmith stated. ""There is no statement anywhere that says the SGA vice president must be present when ballots are counted.""

After a dinner for its members. the Association will present the clever classic comedy, ""The Im-portance of Being Earnest,"" in Stephens Hall Auditorium at 8:30 p.m. This witty farce will be acted out by the Baltimore Repertory Theater, of which several mem-bers are former Glen Players. urzeni nowsun suments are invited to attend without charge if they have an activity card.
