November 13, 1964 SGA Ratifies New Constitution Tuesday After Controversy Over Changes TL-Nov. 10 Towson, Maryland. The Towson State College Student Government Associa-tion, meeting in a Constitu-tional Assembly this afternoon, ratified a new SGA Constitu-tion. Passage of the document, which seeks to clarify and simplify SGA operations, came after 11/2 hours of debate on various proposed changes to the constitution. Much of the controversy resulted over the role of the SGA advisor in SGA affairs. Some were of the belief that the SGA advisor should he merely an observer, offering advice when asked, and being sent. Others were not of the to speak with the body's con- By PAUL VANDERBOSCH TL Senator permitted, when appropriate. same opinion. A clause in the Senate membership sec-tion providing that ""The SGA advisor shall be a non-voting member of the Sen-ate"" was, at length, deleted from the document. A second major controversy developed when the following recommendation from the Pres-ident of the college, Dr. Earle T. Hawkins, was moved by President Ken Masters, and seconded: ""The right of the student to organize for the purpose of self-government is ap-proved by the administration of the Towson State College.

Both pro-grams were passed by the last Congress. The President termed the Higher Education Act ""the most significant education bill passed by Congress in the history of the Republic . . . It clearly sig-nals this nation's determination to give all our youth the edu-cation they deserve."" The Act calls for a five year program of federal grants and loans for the con-struction of classrooms. lab-oratories, and libraries at both public and private schools. Johnson's general approach to education in general and higher education in particular has been to work towards making it as universal as possible. He views the present progress in educa-tion as ""a revolution changing the capabilities of the common man�changing what he is, what he can be ,and what his children after him will be."" This has been manifested in administration proposals to provede money to increase teachers salaries, to expand and improve teacher educa-tion, to establish a program of adult education. and to provide money for special education al needs. In these last two areas the administration has been par-ticularly active. It has asked for�and received�from Con-gress bills giving aid to medical schools, providing educational (('ontinued on Page 4) Plays to be performed by the Glen Players in January are two Japanese Noh Plays. These Noh Plays are lyric dramas which are highly symbolic and closely related to the Buddhist Religion. The first performance will be of a traditional fifteenth cen-tury play called Aoi-No-Ue. The play, in brief, is about Prince Genji whose wife, Lady Aoi, is ill due to unknown causes She had a fight with Lady Rokejo whose spirit appears to the audience and tells of her hatred for Lady Aoi. A holy man comes and tries to find the cause of Lady Aoi's illness. He finds the true identity of the spirit, which turns out to be a demon, and he exorcisis the demon. The second performance, a twentieth century adaption of the same story, is called The Lady Aoi. Everything is in Freudian terms rather than the Buddhist forms utilized in the fifteenth century story. These plays, are to be per-formed January 7, 8, and 9, by the following casts: The Lady .Aoi features Judy Jett as Rokujo; John Glover as Ilikara; Esther Seiney as Ari; and Carole Ruth as Nurse. Aoi-No-ITe featurers Janet Asher as Teruhi; Greg Clark as Courtier; Judy Jett as Rokujo; Tim Ferdinand as Messenger; and John Glover as Kohijiru. The Chorus contains George Hallaceyer, Roland Henderson, John Glover and Judy Jett in Peer Gynt. Jo Anne Wolfkill, ane Schwartz. Landra Dix, and Pat Spencer. The attendants in the plays will be Jane Luckey, Virginia Gardner, and Sharyn Betz.

A motion to amend Masters' amendment by addition of the words ""with consent of the Senate"" was not adopted. Some felt that the passage csf Mas-ters' original motion would infer a major concession of the autonomous power of the SGA. Even though the fact that the SGA and Senate exist only through the ""good graces"" of the administration, several SGA members felt that the Masters' motion would, in effect, sub-ject the SGA and the Senate to the whims of the college administration. Others pointed out that even though the SGA Senate cannot be compared to the Federal legislature, the in-clusion of the words ""with the consent of the Senate"" would preserve the dignity and integrity of the body representing nearly 2500 stu-dents. The majority of the body did not support the amendment to the amend- Sen at e."" tion carried.

Dr. Morse is inter-ested in the mathematics of both music and art, but states in. an article in the Yale Re-view that ""the basic affinity between mathematics and the arts is psychological and spiri-tual and not metrical or geo-metrical.""
