""In Italy, during the sixteenth Senate Nulls SGA Revisions Senate passed amendments to the SGA Constitution and de-feated proposed revisions of the SGA Financial Policy at last Tuesday's meeting.

The revised constitution will go into effect May 15. SGA treasurer Dale Hickman then introduced revisions to the financial policy. Ken Masters, Circle K sena-tor, moved that the policy be amended to allow college or-ganizations maintenance of private treasuries as well as SGA support. Masters stated that private treasuries would provide cash as needed without waiting for senate's approval of club re-quests. It was pointed out that this would be especially beneficial for service organizations and clubs having their own dues. Paul Swank argued that SGA control of funds was safer than individual con-trol.

Since the characters are stock and representative of the era, the director had to overcome the difficulty of presenting the true humor of the period. The characteristic vulgar and ob-scene behavior of the commedia had to be subdued to appeal to a modern audience, without los-ing the ""original flavor and fun."" Stringer, a senior, is a speech and drama major, who plans to teach in this field in the secondary school next year. He graduated from Oxon Hill High School and attended St. Mary's Junior College before coming to Towson. As a member of the Glen Players, Stringer has appeared in many dramatic pro-ductions at Towson. Politician To Discuss Undisclosed Subjects SPEAKING POLITICO � Spiro T. Agnew, slated for May 9, is a native of Baltimore City. He attended Johns Hopkins Univer-sity and received his law degree from the University of Baltimore Law School. Spiro T. Agnew, newly elected Executive Officer of Baltimore County, will speak Thursday, May 9, 8 p.m. in SH 220. The program is being sponsored by the Republican Organization of the College. Agnew will speak on a current political issue as yet undivulged. Although a relative newcomer to politics, Agnew has in his background a wide variety of experiences, both in insurance and personnel management as well as in the legal field. His office is an elective one and corresponds roughly to that of a mayor in a mayor-ial council form of city government. Baltimore County is one of only two counties in Maryland which presently operate under a charter form (home rule) of government. "
