Final Issue rr Final Issue LIGHT Vol. 3, No. 20 STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE, TOWSON, AID. May 26, 1950 Foreign Student Selected; Will Enter Next Fall The Freshman Advisory Council has released the name of the ex-change student who will enter the teachers college in September. She is Miss Ellen Rockstrow from Kes-sel, Province of Hesse, Germany. Miss Rockstrow has had a diver-sified education having attended the Jacob-Grimm Secondary School in Kessel and she received her first teachers degree in March of this year from the Weilburg Lahn school. Since her graduation, she has served as interpreter for the Kessel Allied Military Government. Ellen is an attractive brunette, twenty-two years of age, and her application indicates that she has a sincere interest in dramatics (Glen Players please take note). Ellen will be the first Exchange student to be sponsored at Towson and will be a dorm student. The exchange student program was in-augurated last March when the FAC announced plans for raising a minimum Sum of $350.00 from pledges and contributions from the various organizations on campus. The drive has been successful but the FAC would like to urge those who have not yet contributed their support to the program to do so immediately. It is the firm belief of the committee which has lobor-ed long and tediously to perfect the program, that the new stu-dent will aid in forwarding inter-national good will and at the same time, will play an instrumental part in the education of the educa-tion of the other students who surround her in the classrooms. Ten Courses , To Be Started Next Semester Ten new electives, until now un-listed in the State Teachers Col-lege catalogue, will be offered stu-dents next year. The college, faced with ever-increasing enrollments and with addition of new courses, will schedule classes as early as 8 o'clock for the next samester. The new electives include: The World Today in Art; Classi-cal Mythology; History and Litera-ture of the Old Testament; History of the English Language; Advanced Spanish Reading; Advanced Ger-man Reading; Class Piano and Ac-companying; The Psychology of Learning; Introductory Aviation; and Background of Contemporary World Problems. Neither the electives nor required courses bore the names of instruc-tom on the registration course sheets given to students. Streamlined registration, under the supervision of Mr. Grant C. Vietsch, simplified the registration procedures last Wednesday. CORRECTION The Tower Light regrets the omis-sion of June Crickenberger's name from the May Day article and the court picture.
