FAC Plans Format On Thursday evening No-vember 11, the Freshman Ad-visory Council began its plan-ning for � new 1966 member-ship and the disposal of the council as it now functions. Even though President Bob Koermer was initiating prepar-ations for next year's council, discussion had already been held regarding the revamping of the FAC. Koermer began the meet-ing by announcing the up-coming presidential election. He also announced that nom-inating committees for fu-ture members and a consti-tutional revision were sched-uled for the next meeting. During the past few weeks preliminary discussions were held among Dr. Volpel, Faculty Advisor to the FAC; Vernon Wanty, Associate Advisor to the FAC; Charles Haslup, Senior Leader Coordinator; Dean LeMire; SGA President Neal Brooks; and SGA Par-liamentarian Sue Lombardo. In these informal discus-sions it was agreed that the advisory functions of the FAC should be the exclusive domain of the Senior Lear-ers. Preliminary plans call for the limiting of the council to orienting functions; the forma-tion of two council branches, a freshman and a transfer; and the changing of the organize- McCauley Is Frosh President Freshman class elections were held on November 9th and 10th, with run-off elections following. The newly elected officers are: President, Dale McCauley; Vice- President, Neil Tillman; Trea-surer, Chip Reed; Correspond-ing Secretary, Ann Nicedemous; Recording S ec r et a r y, Sue Freeze; Senator, Mike Schaef-fer; Publicity Chairman, Dean Ensminger; Social Chairman, Cathy Valient; College Centre Board; Commuters, Linda Bad-ger, Dick O'Hara, Peggy Leaver-tori; Residents, Tom Wantz, Judy Taylor, Ray Wacks; His-torian, Helen Pryon; and Par-liamentarian, Paula Merminau.

Many details of organization for both the Council and the Senior Leader program still require attention. ball and swimming. He is pre-sently a member of the Men's Glee Club. Chip Reed, the new treasurer, was president of his high school class, treasurer of the freshman steering committee, and chairman of the freshman Jam Session. The corresponding secre-tary, Ann Nicedemous, was secretary of the 4H Club for two years and vice-president for one year. She was also a member of the atheltic As-sociation and Journalism Club. Sue Freeze, recording Secre-tary, was a member of the Freshman Steering Committee also and was a member of her high school Student Council for two years. Mike Schaeffer, the Senator, was the alternate senator of the freshmen steering committee. Jack Wilson, vice presi-dent of the SGA, stated that there was more activity in this election than in any previous freshman election. After listening to their speeches, he felt that all of the candidates were quali-fied. This, according to 'Wil-son, may account for the highly competitive campaign-ing and the close balloting. While less than 50% of the freshman class voted, this is proportionately more than any previous class has voted. Mike Gordon, elections, co-ordinator, stated that ""The cam-paigns were well organized and well run. There was much en-thusiasm shown by the candi-dates."" House Education Commitee Launches Two Key Studies WASHINGTON (CPS)�Dis-crimination against women in higher education and the opera-tions of the U.S. Office of Edu-cation are currently being studied by the House Education and Labor Committee. The committee staff is desgin-ing a questionnaire which will be sent to a number of colleges and universities to determine what differences exist in uni-versity policy toward men and women in such areas as admis-sions and housing. Further steps in the study will depend on the result of the question-naire. Hearings, however, seem unlikely. The second study, is ex-pected to lead to hearings, although it is still in the formulative stages. This study will concentrate on the Office of Education's admin-istration of federal education programs, and will give special attention to questions of overlapping and duplica-tion of programs. Concern over the office's rapid growth was expressed by several members of Congress during House-Senate conference meet-ings on the 1965 Higher Educa-tion Act. House education and Labor Committee Chairman Adam Clayton Powell's (D.-N.Y.) subsequent announcement of the congressional investiga-tion was welcomed by Office of Education officials.

This move was an outgrowth of a petition which was circula-ted on campus several weeks ago. The sending of a letter to the President of the United States was approved in the SGA Senate with no opposing votes, but with one abstention. The letter reads as follows: ""We, the undersigned stu-dents of Towson State Col-lege, have been embarrassed by the recent actions of our counterparts in campuses across the country regard-ing the present American- Viet Nam policy. For this reason, with the overwhelm-ing approval of the student body senate, we wish to ex-tend to you our support of this policy. No one advocates the use of war as a means of settling in-ternational disuptes any less than we. However, history and recent events have taught us that in dealing with men like those of Communist China and North Viet Nam, our words must be backed by direct action. Finally, our hopes go with you as you work towards a peaceful, but honorable, set-tlement of the situation."" The letter was signed by Edward W. Shirley, who was chairman of the Committee.. The petition that had been circulated earlier was also enclosed. "
