They use k %ria. th4N. lar materials for artistic obligation to get the facts straight even if this would be damaging to their argument, he challenged. Dr. Stinchcomb further stated that, although the FBI talked of the mo-tives of the students for rioting in San Francisco, they never actually talked to the students nor asked them for their reasons for the riots. HUAC's characteristic response to the question about the changed se-quence in the film is that they made the mistake in order to show the truth, said Dr. Stinchcomb. Hy went on to say that it is very hard to carry on a controversy if one party has this kind of attitude. HUAC was formed to investigate the facts on communism in this country, yet they have labeled organizations communistic before they have been formally organized, largely because some of them have been against HUAC and, therefore must be com-munist, commented Dr. Stinchcomb. HUAC's belief, he said, is that any-one who opposes HUAC must be either a communist or a ""dupe"" of the communist party. For this rea-son, HUAC feels that it is all right for them to collect facts, change them when they don't fit favorably, and show them to the public as truth, he ended his argument. Pro HUAC Dr. Carter, speaking for HUAC, emphasized that sources in gathering material and facts must be consid-ered. The main question, he con-tended, is: does the film accurately portray the communists' part and the ""dupes"" part in the riots? The films were made up of short shots made by two television stations, each having two camera positions on the scene. Not all the events were cov-ered, he said, mainly because these cameras could not be everywhere at once. Dr. Carter continued by pointing out the problem of sequence. The main purpose behind the film is to show the different kinds of ways in (Continued on Page 4) Instructors' Names Left Off Schedule Another change associated with preregistration . is the omission of instructors names for many re-quired courses on the preregistra-tion schedule. Because schedule changes are made over the summer, instructors may be changed for these courses, explained Miss Hazel Bowman, Registrar. When students register in September they occasionally have different instructors and many are quite disappointed, she added. It is hoped that this new system will eliminate much of the confusion. 'Library Resolution Good', Says Reeder Miss Dorothy Reeder, STC Librar-ian, believes that the Library Re-solution, recently passed by the SGA Senate, is a very good objective plan and can be carried out. Earlier this year, Dr. Lewis and Miss Reeder attended an SGA meet-ing. At that time they advised the Senate to draw up such a resolution as this one. However, Miss Reeder expressed the belief that there is actually only one way to stop the attitude of disrespect for public property. A general atmosphere of ""don't do it"" can and must be established. This can only be accomplished through a consistent effort of student leaders. It can be started with the freshmen, but upperclassmen must set an example for the system to be effective. Miss Reeder went on to say that this resolution was a very en_ couraging thing, because it is student proposed and student initiated, and students will carry it out. Because of this, there must be strong feeling within the student body on this problem, and therefore the plan has great possibilities. On the proposal of library fees, Miss Reeder had no objection. Fees are frequently charged for such things as the use of athletic and science equipment in many colleges. Books are constantly becoming worn and in need of repair. The money from the fee could be placed in a general fund for the replace-ment and repair of damaged books. Used Book Rate Plan Revised A new plan for the sale of used books will be used beginning next semester. The plan will be to give the students 75% of the original cost of books that will be used again in courses offered during the following semester. To the price given the student for the book, 20"", will be added for the resale price. For those books that will not be used again, the policy of paying the price listed in the ""used-book"" circular will be continued. Furthermore, all students are en-couraged to sell their books at the end of the examination period. Books will be purchased up until June 13th for the following fall semester. In September, books will be bought up to and including the day of registration but not during the rush when classes begin. The Council of Department Chair-men voted for this change and it was approved by the Administrative Council. Changes will be permitted at re-izistration, added Miss Bowman. Reunions, Reception, Tours Among Alumni Day Activities Nearly 500 alumni are expected to be on campus Satur-day for Towson's annual Alumni Day, according to Mrs. Crooke, Alumni Association secretary. Plans for this day include class reunions, a reception by President and Mrs. Earl Hawkins in the Student Centre with music by a string ensemble and a dinner in the dining hall. At dinner awards will be presented to those indi-viduals chosen as the ""Outstanding Alumni of the Year"" and a silver cup will be given to the class with the greatest percentage of living members present. Following dinner the alumni will dance in the Stephens Hall audi-attend a concert by the Men's ! torium. Chorus followed by an informal Short bus tours around the campus will be offered to alumni from three to five P.M. so that they may see the campus without having to walk. The Alumni Association has de-cided to treat all graduates of Tow-son of more than sixty years to the dinner. Mrs. Sadie Wilson Gray of the Class of 1896 is flying to Mary-land from Louisiana to attend the activities, and the Association is hoping that Marie Briscoe Croker, of the Class of 1893, who is Poet Laureate of the state of Maryland, will also be able to attend. Alumni from states such as California, Ohio, Florida, New York, and New Jersey are expected to attend the alumni activities. All classes ending in 1 and 6 have scheduled reunions but any other class can schedule a reunion if the members wish. There will be a photographer on hand to take pictures of each class. The members of the 1961 senior class will be represented by their president, Richard Evans, and the class advisor, Mr. Abendroth. Beauty Contest Open To Students The Towson Junior Chamber of Commerce is sponsoring a Miss Tow-son Beauty Contest. The winner of this contest will represent Towson at the State Finals in Salisbury early in July, and if chosen as Miss Mary-land, will go on to Atlantic City for the Miss America Pageant. Miss Towson will be crowned on June 9 at the Towson American Legion Hall before an expected at-tendance of 700. The contest is run in conjunction with the annual pre-holiday dance and the proceeds from both the pageant and the dance will be used to support the Towson Fourth of July parade. A candidate need not be a resi-dent of Maryland, but must be either working in the state or attending school here. This applies to both the Miss Towson and Miss Maryland contests. Various awards will be given at Salisbury, one of which is $2000 in scholarships, to be broken down into smaller grants. A candidate must be between the ages of 18 and 28 and must he single. Miss America rules will apply to both contests in Maryland, since winners are potential candidates for the Miss America Contest. It is preferred that others nomi-nate someone they feel should be considered in this contest. Nomina-tions should be submitted as soon as possible so that screening of the nominees may begin. Also a fashion co-ordinator from one of the large department stores will be available to help contestants with poise, grace, wardrobe, etc. To make a nomination, please call either Vince Brocato at ID 3-0964 or Jim Decker at ID 5-0962. Cox Comments On US Space Program News In Brief Towson's Senate voted to strike the HUAC Re.wlution from the Agenda Thursday. This action was taken because it was felt by the National Affairs Committee that the new Senators were not fully informed on HUAC. Miss Nancy Lester, residence director, was the keynote speaker at a Leadership Conference held at Frostburg State Teachers College on Saturday, April 29. Miss Lester spoke on ""Leadership in a Changing World.- Towson's Jazz Society held elec-tions on Max' 3. The newly elected officers are: Yayne Schwabeland, president: Margie .Titur vice presi-dent; Joan Mallgrave, secretary; Barbara Murray, treasurer; Pat Benton. SGA Senator.
