Tower Light Elects Editors In Turnover Tower Light, for the first tinie in two years, has under-gone a change of command. Chris Wilson, a sophomore Eng-lish major, has moved up to the post of Editor-in-Chief af-ter a two-year stretch as Bus-iness Manager. He is replacing Tim Buttner, a graduating Eng-lish major, who has finished a four-year career on the Tower Light staff which has included Work as News Editor, as well as the last two years spent as Editor-in-Chief.

Before the business began, president Neal Brooks reviewed the events of the year. He began by thank-ing his Executive Committee for the cooperation during the year. Next, Paul Peloquin was named the hardest working senior male and was presen-ted with a pair of gold-plated roller skates. Peloquin ac-cepted the gift and stated that he would like to dedi-cate the wheels to those who - have helped him except that there are not enough wheels. Brooks emphasized the sense of personal satisfactiton he has gotten through working as SGA president, especially from the respect he has received from students, administration, and faculty. In listing the achievements of the SGA this past year, Brooks placed revision of judicial practices at the head of the list. He told the group that new rules and policies have been estab-lished for next year. Next, Brooks expressed satisfac-tion with the efforts made by the SGA 'in the drive for more dormitories on campus. Several other accomplish-ments have been: moving the limit on parking to two miles, OAS Officer Addresses IRC On Thursday evening, May 12, 1966, the International Re-lations Club sponsored a lecture and discussion concerning the intervention in the Dominican hapublic of the Organization of merican States. Mr. Julio Cesar Silva, Program Officer of the OAS, was the featured speaker. Mr. Silva, a Chilean na-tional, is a journalist by pro-fession, having written for El Mercurio de Antofagasta, Hablemos, Americanas, and Las Ultintas Noticias. He was city editor for the lat-ter paper in Santiago before joining the OAS in 1955. Born on January 21, 1931 he majored in Literature at The Catholic University (Santiago) and has studied at Syracuse University, Bucknell University, and the University of Maryland in the United States. He joined the OAS as Spanish Editor in its Press Division. In 1959 he was appointed Chief of the Regional Offices of the OAS, reaching his present position in 1963. Ile has attended several Inter- American Conferences, includ-ing those concerned with alli-ance for Progress planning. During 1962 he was first given experience, in a temporary ca-pacity, on Hispanola as Coordi-nator of the OAS field office in Haiti. As soon as the OAS be-came involved in the Domini-can problems of last spring he returned again to the island, once again in a temporary ca-pacity. He remained there in May and June of 1965 at the height of the crisis. Mr. Silva limited his re-marks to a summary of the history of the OAS and a brief consideration of the chronology of the crisis of last year. He allowed forty-five minutes at the end of his lecture for discussion with members of the aud-ience. He pointed out in his lecture that when the OAS considered the crisis all members agreed the crucial issue was how the crisis should be settled. not was the intervention by the U-nited States legal. Even when dealing with such a a pragmatic question, there was great opposition to any intervention in the affairs (Continued on Page 1) working for more hours and better facilities in the Cook library, reduction of the re-quired credits for graduation from 52 to 34, and steps to al-leviate the poor representation in the Special events program. Looking ahead, Brooks hoped that the new SGA would expand its support for the National Student Assoc-iation. He also saw a better financial structure for next year, giving the former treas-urer, Paul Vanderbosch praise for initiating the new policy. In addition, the ad-dition of three more foreign students next year, he felt, will be of benefit. The outgoing president of the SGA stated that great strides have been made in cooperation with the other colleges in Mary-land, especially the other state colleges who share our prob-lems and ""suffer from the same Board of Trustees."" Further, Brooks hoped to see more student opinion re-presented on campus in the future. He told the Senate that a committee for futher hearing of student opinion has been established. Cur-riculum, faculty and admin-istrative evaluation has also begun but is not yet solid-ified. A final outlet for stu-dent opinion, Brooks said, deals with the athletic money. Under challenges for next year's SGA, Broks listed further revision of the judicial policy, emphasis on student opinion, a study of the money spent on Athletics, and reform of the Senate. He expressed hope that the senate would not be unre-sponsive to the needs of the student body, would fulfill its function as an aid to students, and would effect reform itself without directives from the Ex-ecutive Committee. (Continued on Page 1) Summer Session Expands To Include New Courses The Summer and Evening Office anticipates the enrollment of 3000 students in the various summer course offerings. Ap-proximately 225 courses in many different fields will be offered. This constitutes the largest number of courses available anywhere in the Baltimore area. Students may pursue courses leading to undergraduate or graduate degrees. Tuition will remain at the $15.00 per credit hour rate for both graduate and undergraduate courses. Students have four registra-tion dates: Saturday, May 21, from 8:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Saturday, June 11, from 8:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Friday, June 17, from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, June 18, from 8:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. The old and the new Editors-in- Chief, Jim Buttner and Chris Wilson. Three sessions will be offered. The regular term is a five week session running from June 20 to July 22 with classes meeting daily for ninety minutes. A three week post session running from July 25 to August 12 with daily classes meeting for two or three hours. Finally, evening classes are offered in an eight week session running from June 20 to August 12 and meeting two evenings each week. One unusual aspect of the summer program is the avai-lability of a fairly broad range of science offerings. Few summer programs at-tempt to offer science cour-ses involving laboratory work. This summer, courses will be offered in general chemistry. organic chemis-try, general physics, astro-nomy, physical science, and biology. Two other programs not gen-erally available during the sum-mer session, but which will be offered at Towson, are the course in fabric printing for the theatre. The Theatre Work-shop provides the student an op-portunity to act and direct un-der professional guidance. The fabric printing course deals with the techniques used in produc-ing silk screens for costuming and stage decor. It will be taught by Mrs. Glenys Aston who will be visiting this coun-try for the first time after leav-ing her native England. "
