November 17, 1967 Protestors Face Recruiters In Two-Day Demonstration Protestors greeted the United States Navy Recruiting Team when they arrived on the TSC campus last week. The protest-ors turned the Student Centre into a debate forum for the two days the recruiters were on cam- Stand In The first day, the protestors stood in front of the area as-signed to the recruiters, and held their conversations there in an attempt to disrupt the re-cruiting. When asked about the effect of the protest on the Navy's recruiting efforts at TSC, Lt. (jg.) Charles Werthe-imer said that the recruiters were ""probably getting more attention this way,"" but he ad-ded that whether it would help or hinder the recruiters was ""hard to say."" About 50 people gathered 'around the protestors. Most of the people just watched those who were dedating without tak-ing an active part on either side. Pro-war comments brought loud applause and laughter from the crowd. Awaken Students One of the protestors stated, ""The recruiters' purpose in coming on campus was to show Towson students the alleged benefits of serving in the Navy. It was our intention to awaken the students to some of the more unsavory aspects of mili-tary service. UR:HERO: A.111111P1LIE PVC by THUNDERCOLT As we grow larger so grow the problems and difficulties on the Towson State College cam-pus. Tower Light, in its effort to better serve the students, ad-ministration and community has chipped in to hear a ""sup-er hero"". His name is � Thuder-colt. (We tried to get Super-man but he has this thing for Lois Lane, and Batman and Robin couldn't find a place to park the Batmobile.) Disguised as a meek, mild mannered reporter for T.L., working under the name of T. Dercolt, he will roam the cam-pus from its huddled buildings to the vast expanses of the parking lots, wherever they may build them. He will oppose in-justices in the classroom, or the athletic fields and in the dining hall. He will oppose budget cuts, hurry construction and if necessary find help for those two old men that are building the new classroom complex. Clad in his red, white, blue, and gold dyed boy scout uni-form, with a big T safety-pinn-ed on the chest, back and on each knee cap he will strike terror in the hearts of all those who oppose TSC's goals what-ever they may be. But he needs help. He can't do it alone, he can't be every-where at once, so it is up to you Towson students. Tell him your problems. Have him search out the answers to your difficulties, and together we can strive for education, Mom, apple pie and a parking lot next door. Dear Thundercolt, I am a Junior and would like to know where I can park may car legally. Signed, A Junior Dear Juniors As the regulations now stand, you may park your car on Lot L, Lot N, or the Ward Hall Lot. Dear Thundercolt, When are we going to get a football team around here? I think it is about time we had some info about it. All I hear are rumors. Signed, A promising Quarterback Dear Promising, We will have a JV and a freshman football team next year. Schedules are presently be-ing made up, we now have two coaches and next year will have a third. All teams of course de-pend upon how many men try-out. Dear Thundercolt, I am a freshman and I would like to know if this year's book-store is really an improvement over last year's. That's what they tell me anyway. Freshman Dear Freshman, Uh-huh. Thundercolt got his books in record time this fall. Last September he missed four classes trying to get a No. 3 hard pencil. Send your questions to Thun-dercolt, TL, Box 543. "
