SCA Committee Pions Program A recent discussion program ""Un-derstanding Each Others Faiths,"" conducted by the SCA, brought forth questions and explanations which helped accomplish the goal of un-derstanding our fellow students' faiths. Betty Spruill, SCA president, stated members of the planning committee were pleased with the student response and therefore plan a meeting based on the marriage ceremonies of all churches. As a follow-up to the question of marriage, Josephine Basiliere was appointed general chairman of the committee to plan the marital dis-cussion program to be held May 11 at 7 P. M.

Students Discuss Teacher Training A panel discussion, entitled ""Our Children Need Good Teachers,"" was presented this morning over station WBAL at 9:45 by four students of the college with Dr. Hawkins as chairman. The State Parent-Teach-ers Association and the Maryland State Teachers Association request-ed that members of STC present this discussion. The four student representatives were Edward L. Biller, Ellen Carroll, John Hilker, and Gina Ganzhorn. The fifteen minute program was made up of a discussion by Ed Biller and Ellen Carroll on the pressing need for teachers in Maryland and Baltimore. John Hilker and Gina Ganzhorn emphasized the necessity for good teachers and told what this college is doing to provide an edu-cation which will make good teach-ers. Dr. Arthur Brewington, speech in-structor, aided the participants in preparing their scripts. by Bob Goodman and Jeannine Schmidt Speaking with Ellis Arnall in the President's office, the interviewers were able to secure direct and timely comments from Mr. Arnall on cur-rent national and international af-fairs. Mr. Arnall's opinion of the im-portance of the Southern Democrat revolt in the forthcoming election is that it will bear no political import-ance because Southern Democrats are extremely sensitive and revolt every four years. The reason for their revolt is that there has been no Southern representative in an important governmental office in years. Speaking of presidential aspirants Truman, Stassen, and Wallace, Mr. Arnall made the following com-ments. ""The Republican conventions will not nominate Harold Stassen for the presidency, but will as usual name an Old Guard Republican, for although Mr. Stassen has received popular acclaim, he has been re-jected by Republican political boss-es."" Truman As Candidate Mr. Arnall believes that Harry Truman has an excellent chance of being re-elected, for politics are a diatter of timing,"" with the individ-uals popularity and unpopularity rising and falling alternately. At present Mr. Truman's popularity is at a height, and Ex-Governor Ar-nall stated, ""The Democrats can count, as they always have, on the Republicans' making all the mis-takes at the last minute."" Henry Wallace is a personal friend of Ellis Arnall's; however, the ex-governor does not agree with Mr. Wallace's international ideas. ""I would like to see him cease criticism of the United States foreign policy incessantly, and criticize that of the U.S.S.R."" Mr. Arnall does not be-lieve that any American wants to go in for Imperialism or Totalitar-ianism. It is the personal opinion of the speaker that the Third Party will secure seven million votes. By thus CAP To Hold Open House At STC Plans for an Open House of the college branch of the Civil Air Pa-trol have been made, as announced by Helen Ackerman, adjutant. The group hopes to invite all interested persons to learn of their work on May 26, and at the same time to gain new members for the CAP unit. Under the direction of Mr. Louis T. Cox, the unit is also planning an outing for all members sometime near the end of the present school semester. Helen Ackerman related some of the points of interest observed by CAP members when they visited a Parachute Loft several weeks ago. ""We saw the parachutes being pack-ed, the loft from which trainees are dropped, and learned quite a bit about parachutes,"" she sail. securing votes, the chances of a conservative party to gain power in the coming election will be en-hanced. ""The Third Party shall make it difficult for the Democrats, but easy for the Republicans."" Mr. Arnall believes in universal service, in that governmental repre-sentatives would secure persons to fill positions in the government when the need arises. ""The idea of mere-ly increasing military ranks and placing everyone in a soldier's uni-form is obsolete."" ""The urgency on the part of the people in the United States to have troops sent home from Germany forced military officials to withdraw the United States forces,"" stated Mr. Arnall. ""Because the Russians were allowed to enter Berlin first, the United States is now forced to re-establish its forces in order to pro-tect the Germans from Russia and Communism."" As shown by action taken in the State of Georgia during the time of Mr. Arnall's Administration as Gov-ernor, the speaker said that he feels that medicine is a field which is not being served. ""The government should see that it is filled, but I do not believe in Socialized Medicine as the government's entirely taking over the medical practice."" As far as the settling of the Pal-estine problem is concerned, Gov. Arnall did not ""wish to go into it."" He stated only that since United States representatives insisted that the United Nations adopt certain commitments, they were ""foolish not to have carried them out. The U.N. lost time and prestige by making these commitments and then reject-ing them."" The major premise of Mr. Arnall's talk to the student body, that ""the only limitation upon our realization of tomorrow is the limitation we impose today,"" is in keeping with his confidence in the future adults of this nation.
