tl19650507-000 "The Towson State College Weekly Towson, Maryland ELLIER V ol.Yost,No. XVII, No. 21 Incumbent To Head TL Next Year Tower Light held its annual elections for the posts of Editor-in -Chief and Managing Editor on Tuesday, April 27. The in-cumbent Editor-in-Chief, Tim Buttner, was un-animously re-elected by his staff, but But-tner's candidate for the second snot, Jack Chal-ker, was vetoed by the electors in favor of Fred Yost, former TL Sports Editor. Of eight persons eligible to vote, six wrote ballots, three of them absentee bal-lots from staffers who are student teaching. Yost won his post by a 4-2 margin, coinciding with the TL con-stitution provision that a two-thirds majority of those voting is necesary to elect an editor. Buttner made two new staff appointments immediately after his re-election: Barbara Nash, TL Make-up Editor, was ap-t pointed to re-place Paul Van-derbosch, cently elected SGA Treasurer, lost as TL Senator; Buttner Chris Wilson, who has been an interim appointee to the Busi-ness Manager, was formally given the title to the post he has been working at for a period. At the same time, however, But-tner re-appointed Chalker to his post as Features Editor. Said Buttner, ""I think, al-though the staff remains rela-tively inexperienced, since they hardly have gotten the feel of one job when they are forced to take another and more difficult one, that Tower Light has a good year ahead of it. We are inexperienced, but we are also young (there were no Seniors on this year's staff) and that means a better carry-over of experience in the next few years. We had been left with little or no experienced help this September, and it has been a hard row to hoe this year."" ISHT May 7, 1965 Vista Needs Students Band To Give For Lafayette Square S pringConcert In The Dell Barry Come and Doug Sheer, two volunteers from VISTA, the domestic Peace Corps, visited the Tower Light office this week. Natives of New York, the pair ara training in Baltimore for eth war on poverty. The VISTA men were here to issue an appeal for help, in the form of volunteers for the Lafayette Square Center, to the Towson student body.. The center, located at 825 North Arlington Avenue, has been set up by VISTA to provide programs in music, arts and crafts, cooking, sewing, and general athletics for the underprivileged indi-viduals in that area. ""We have been assigned to Lafayette Square to do field work during our training period. While we. have initiated several programs, once we leave there wil be a void. We cannot afford to disillusion these youngsters who are already so disadvan-taged by the fact of growing up in slums. By giving them some-hting creative. to do, we are in-stilling hope, and we need people who can follow us in this tradition,"" said Come. The center, a non profit or-ganization, occupies a three-floor building just opposite Lafayette Square Park. It serves all age groups, but focuses on young-sters between the ages of five and fifteen. The facilities in-clude a craft room, a library, a kitchen, and numerous club meeting rooms. Student volun-teers are needed to carry out programs in the Center. New MRC - WRC Officers Promise Help For Recreation Problems Work toward solving the prob-lems of inadequate study and recreational facilities for res-ident students is just one corn-mon goal of MRC and WRC presidents Wayne Szigler and 4n, Editorial Education vs. Budget Cut The cornerstone of President Johnson's Great Society is edu-eation. It seemed obvious that, Without the proper training, the youth of today would main-tai Lai the poverty they have trol,vn up with rather than over-ec'ole it. However, it seems now that, just as the Maryland Slate administrators do not feel that a liberal higher education .necessary, neither do the 4a ltimore County executives feel that a minimum level of edu-itional goals should be reached. County Executive Spiro T. Agnew recently cut $2.3 million ft '�41 the requested $10 million additional funds needed for edu-c Ition. It appears now that he County Council is going to h14 this remaining balance in tt`f, leaving approximately $3 'billion additional with which tile County is expected to give t�t.P-level training to the addi-till) nal youth as well as reduce e teacher-pupil ratio. A mini- .111 of 1-n;11;nri nvt et1e(1 to maintain the present 4""�ition. th'rhe reason, undoubtedly, is fact that taxes must be in-creased if the County is to pro-gress; if taxes are increased, the councilmen will lose the pre-cious votes needed in the next election. Perhaps the council-men feel that their own positions are more important than the educational future of the Coun-ty. Perhaps they find it too much trouble to propose a tax which will affect all of the County's residents, not just property owners. (Perhaps the councilmen are not property owners!) Towson students, many of whom will be teachers and most of whom will be parents, are urged to attend County Council meetings on May 11, May 18, and May 25 at the County Office Building on Chesapeake Avenue in Towson. The meetings start at 7:30 p.m. It would indeed be tragic if the State of Maryland and, particularly, the County of Baltimore were to begin a trend defeating the purposes of AL- AL-vim President ui llle L1111LCU States.

Selections include the marches Salutation, and the Spanish march, Valdres, selec- � tions from Sound of Music, the popular favorites, Begin the Reguine and Peanut Vendor. Roberts, concerned about lack of news media to an-nounce the concert to the community at large said, **Just tell them to come. be-cause with the newspaper strike, we won't be able to announce the concert in the city press."" The better part of Band audiences is often made up of outsiders, and this time Roberts will not be able to count on such a group this time. The Band is hoping that a larger per-centage of the Sunday audi-ence will be made up of stu-dents. The Band has scheduled its next-to-last appearance of the year for the senio� convocation on May 19, when they will per-form for the graduating seniors.
