The increase Was approved Monday by the Board of Trustees Of the State Colleges during a meeting at CoPpin State College. After the fee increase was al)Proved, Dr. Marvin Jenkins, the President of Morgan State College stated that his college feels that a college union is un-like a dormitory, and that at-tempts are being made by the administration of Morgan to fund sources of funds for the /101'gan College Union other than student fees. The Board concurred with the statement that it was acceptible and that what the Board did in relation to one school was not necessarily binding on the others. Also, Dr. Hawkins, of Tow- Son, stated that there has been seine discussion on the Towson campus about the fact that stu-dents are paying for buildings Which they will never use, and that it might be a good idea if t1e State of Maryland could pro- Vide monies for a ""sinking fund"" 'or construction so that the stu-dents would repay the fund for the construction of buildings which would be in use when the students are paying for them. The Board also adopted a irkommendation that each col- 'age or department thereof be allowed to choose any standard-zed test which it desires and 'aye the seniors in that depart.

Vol. XX, No. 7 TOWSON STATE COLLEGE, TOWSON, MARYLAND November 10, 1967 Marathon Sets $20,000 Goal by MARY ELLEN TIERNEY Parkville's Double Rock Park is the projected scene of the Towson State - Loyola College second annual Marathon Foot-ball game, December 1-4. The 74-hour, 24-team tilt opens with pre-game activi-ties at 10:30 a.m. Friday, and ends 1 p.m. Monday. Half time occurs 9 p.m. Saturday.

The match net- $6,000 for th. charity. The Executive Committee for the '67 game has set a $20,000 goal, anticipating $10,000 from pro-gram sales alone. Tentative approval for the game was received from Presi-dents Earle T. Hawkins of TSC and Joseph A. Sellinger, S.J., of Loyola. Final approval depends on the fulfillment of fourteen requirements concerning insur-ance, field, and other items. SGA approval is necessary and offici-ating standards must agree with those of the Maryland State Officials Association.

Mr. Wayne com-bines his superb acting ability with a considerable amount of imagination to portray the many-sided character of one of add Wayne will appear on November 14, in TSC's Stephens Hall. the worid's greatest men. Ben-jamin Franklin. Recently returned from a State Department sponsored Eu-ropean tour, where he held his show entitled ""Benjamin Frank-lin, Citizen,"" in France, Eng-land, Sweden, Belgium and Ger-many, Mr. Wayne will be at TSC to captivate Towsonites with his performance, which is strictly a one-man show, mak-ing it all the more difficult for Mr. Wayne to portray the statesman, diplomat, inventor, journalist, humorist and phP-osopher that Benjamin Frank-lin was. To what extent he succeeds in achieving this most demand-ing task can be measured by a glance at the rave-reviews he received wherever he went. Com-ments ranged from, ""superb acting,"" ""consistently entertain-ing,"" ""splendid portrayal of Franklin,"" to just plain ""mag-nificent."" Painstaking attention to de-tails is the watchword of this show. Mr. Wayne's make-up, which reportedly takes about two hours to apply, transforms him to look uncannily like the versatile man he portrays. But of more importance is the fact that he succeeds in revealing to the audience, the subtle, in-ner emotions of Franklin's truly brilliant mind with good humor and good sense. Some of the most interesting parts of the show are the scenes where Mr. Wayne portrays not only Ben Franklin, but plays the role of his relatives and friends too. The set, staging and lighting are beautifully conceived, all by the versatile Mr. Wayne him-self, to make ""Benjamin Frank-lin, Citizen,"" a delightful must for every student of TSC. be required for each player; no students may play more than two hours in a 24-hour span.

TSC has already seen a 25% increase over last year's costs. Yesterday it cost $550 to live on campus. Today it costs $685. Tomorrow it will cost $830. What can account for these dra-matic leaps in cost? The demise of the state auxiliary fees sub-sidy is the major cause of these prices. Last year the state sub-sidized student living costs. Starting this year, it will no longer do so. This accounts, primarily, for the 25% increase over last year and, to some ex-tent, the further increase next year. The Board of Trustees asses-ses the cost per student in this manner: The costs of maintain-ing the dormitories, equipment, salaries, raw food, overhead, and other expenses are added together and that figure is divid-ed by the anticipated number of students. The resulting figure is paid by each student. This year the divisor figure of antici-pated students was 675. How-ever, presently there are 794 students living in the dorms. Each a these students pays the figure set by the 675 anticipated students. This means that 119 students are paying above the coat of maintaining the dorrni- (Continued on Page 7) Booklet Innovations Mark Spring Session Registration The Registrar's Office has an-nounced the procedure for regis-tration for the 1968 Spring semester. General Information follows. Charts and tables will be found on page six and eight. MAJOR CHANGES IN BOOKLET The COURSE, SEC. and CREDIT columns have been moved to the center of the page to be grouped together as a unit. Since this is the basic informa-tion for registration, they have been put into a special column. The SPECIAL REMARKS column has been moved to the left as the first column to give it more prominence. The Booklet has been divided into two parts. Part I is Re-gistration Information, and Part II is the Schedule of Courses. The purpose of this change is to put greater emphasis upon the duality of the publication. In keeping with this, the title of the publication has been changed to TOWSON STATE COLLEGE BULLETIN � SCHEDULE OF COURSES � PART I: Registration Informa-tion and PART II: Schedule of Courses. The final change is the in-elusion of the Registration forms in the Booklet. There are two different forms. One is for the Registrar (Form RF-67 and the other for the student (Form TM-67) and the advisor (Form TM-67). The Advisor's form is on two pages listing the stu-dents' schedule. The form for the Registrar is on the following four pages. This form is the same as that used this past semester. In order to provide sufficient space, it was necessary to put it on four pages. The student's form is the same as the advisor's form. MAJOR CHANGES IN REGISTRATION PROCEDURE Students see their advisors by appointment only during the Ad-vising Period from December 5th through December 14th. In the past, it was done by alphabet alone. Students are required to make appointments in advance of the Advising Period. Faculty Ad-visors are not required to see students without appointments. Students must pay their bill before completing registration. Payment may be made either by mail or in person during the Registration Period. Bills for (Continued on Page 5) "
