Willard Wirtz Secretary of Labor Final Deadline For 'IL News TSC Selected To Participate In Research ""The American educational system has been severely criti-cized in the popular press. American teachers and teacher training programs have been subjectively compared with the teachers and training programs in various foreign countries. notably Great Britain. ""In recognition that facts should be brought to bear on such important matters of opin-ion, the Towson State College is participating in research de-- signed to determine what dif-ferences, if any, really exist be-tween American and British education students"", wrote Dr. Regina Fitzgerald. Towson has been selected to participate in a research pro-ject with the University of Toledo to analyze cultural and attitudial differences between students preparing to teach in the public schools of Great Britain and the United States. Ninety-five Juniors and Seniors were selected by random sam-pling to participate in the re-search by reporting for test on May 14 from 9-5:30 and May 21 from 9-12:30 in room 220. Step-hens Hall. Unless enough of the students selected agree to take the tests of culture and attitude, the pro-ject is due to fail. While the times impose a hardship on stu-dents at this time of the year, it is anticipated that the pro-fessional orientation of Towson students will encourage them to take part in the research project. TSC Grads To Reunite Towson State College gradu-ates of 60 or more years ago will be honored guests when the college holds its annual Alumni Day May 16. Class reunions will he the or-der of the day for graduating classes ending in the digits four and nine, while an Alumni As-sociation business meeting will be devoted to a revision of the by-laws of the Association. Towson State College Presi-dent and Mrs. Earl T. Hawkins will hold a reception in the student Centre. "
