The Exposition is going to be a wonderful affair, and it will be to their benefit if the students from Towson can attend it."" Dean of Students Orielle Mur-phy remarked ""The Freshman Class should be congratulated for having the initiative and enterprise shown in planning this trip for the school. If plans materialize, it will mark the first occasion when a class has assumed the initiative in spon-soring a trip out of the country. I am very pleased for them."" Additional information can be obtained from any Fresh-man Class officer. Vicky Brandy Reigns As 1967 May Queen Miss Brandy will be crowned queen of May Day, Saturday, May 6, by the dean of the col-lege, Dr. Joseph A. Falco, in a ritual reminiscent of a marri-age ceremony. Attired in a white and yellow gown, she will be attended by her maid of honor, Sally Van-sant of White Hall, Md., and a ten-girl court. The girls, all seniors, were selected by the Senior Class for their service to the school.

On Sunday afternoon, the Rooftop Singers will provide music for a lawn fete in front of Glen Esk, the home of college President and Mrs. Earle T. Hawkins. Poets Expose Feelings At Lit Festival Here What makes them tick? This is a question that haunts the mind of many who want to know how a poet writes his poetry. Those who attended any of the lectures or readings during the festival got at least a peek into what makes them tick. The festival of children's lit-erature opened on Thursday with an address and selections by Myra Cohn Livingston. Emo-tion, passion, delight, and real-ism constituted the general and main theme of her address. Mrs. Livingston stiessed the impor-tance of being able to ""feel and know."" She said, ""When we have emotions we are able to feel."" To her it is important to let the children know that the world is not all a bed of pretty ping roses. They must know the opposite in order to appreci-ate the ""good, true, and beauti-ful."" Segregation In Towson Area Opposed The refusal by two Towson area bars to serve a group of three Towson State College stu-dents because one of them was a Negro has led to an investi-gation of the problem of racial segregation in the restaurants and tavern in the Towson area, as well as into the question of segregation in the' process of securing accommodations for students of Towson State Col-lege who seek college-arranged housing in the Towson area. On Friday, April 21, Calvin Jones, Jim Kotmair, and Steve Goodell, all students at Towson State, went to the Towson area during a break in their classes. The first two places they tried refused to serve them. At the third place where they sought service, the students left when they were asked to sit at a booth rather than at the bar. On Wednesday April 26, a meeting of interested students and faculty members was held to discuss the situation. Michael Grossman of the Political Sci-ence Department charged, ""The system of racial discrimination in Towson imposes a severe barrier to recruiting faculty and Negro students for the Towson campus. They are ob-viously not welcome by the Tow-son community."" As a result of that meeting, a group of nine students and faculty went into Towson Fri-day afternoon. They were ser-ved at the first place they tried. At their second stop they were told, ""We are not ready to in-tegrate now, but when we are, you will be welcome."" The pro-prietor of the third place they visited told the group that his refusal to serve them ""had nothing to do with race. Any-one might be refused service. If you come back some other time of day I might serve you."" The group then visited two other establishments. One re-fused to serve the Negro in the group, and the other pro-vided service. though only very grudgingly. The attitude of the bartend-ers and proprietors which the group of Towson students and faculty members encountered was one of studied unfriendli-ness. The investigation of the prob-lem of getting service for in-tegrated groups is continuing, and they are also investigating the question of segregation in off-campus housing. On Friday aftk,rnoo,i Karla Kuskin read poetry to the chil-dren at Lida Lee Tall School. Mrs. Kuskin is an artist as well as a poet and consequently illustrates her own books. The important idea to Mrs. Kuskin is not to impose one's own tastes on the children. This is essen-tial because of the uniqueness of each individual. Harry Behn's address on Fri-day evening was one of insight into his own imagination and personality; discovery of the real meanings in his works; information concerning his ex-periences with children and poetry. The silent contemplating countence is that which des-cribes Mrs. Annis Duff who spoke to an audience on Satur-day morning. Mrs. Duff took the 'personal' meaning in poetry (Continued an Page 8) Tonite Tomorrow Douglas Seale, artistic di-rector of Center Stage, will direct ""Two Gentlemen of Verona"" at Towson State Col-lege May 4-6.
