After defining the purpose of the gathering, President Diem in his address explain-ed the resolution currently in the Senate condemning the ""in loco parentis"" policy practiced by Towson's ad-ministration. In an open Senate meeting held at 3:30 P.M. the same af-ternoon, the resolution was passed unopposed. The senator from the Sociology Club ab-stained from voting. There were no ""nay"" votes. In Diem's opinion, stu-dent, faculty, and adminis-tration should share equally in representation on the Stu-dent Life Committee and the chairman of that committee should be elected and not ap-pointed. Dean Murphy pre-sently holds the appointed position. Ideally, the current eleven-administration, four-student Committee would be replaced by a four-adminis-tration, four-student, four-faculty plan. Diem also pro-tested the concept of Tow-son as a ""glorified trade school"" and stressed the liberal arts basis of educa-tion at Towson opposing the traditional ""teachers' edu-cation"" view. Currently the student views the college as ""maternal guar-dian,"" President Diem contin-ued, advocating a ""democratic college"" where rights are shared. Whereas maternalism hinders development and re-moves the responsibility for decision-making, Diem feels that fellowship would instead estab-lish the ""community"" relation-ship and increase individual re-sponsibility. Dialogue and ex-change of ideas would replace the concept crf ""corporate de-sign"" in his estimation. President Diem and his followers criticized the re-strictions on Student Gov-ernment and student press and deplored arbitrary ex-pulsion of students. The S.G.A. proposes reform within the establishment. They would attempt to end college determination of intellectual, moral, and social policy while not counteracting existing state law. Citing examples of off-campus drinking and Woman's Resi-dence Council hours, Diem feels a personal evaluation could adequately replace established standards. Following President Diem's address, Dick Norris, Vice- President of the Class of 1967 advocated support of the reso-lution by the student body. Mathematician, Politician Address Towson Stubents A Rockefeller University re-search mathematician, Mark Kac, visited Towson State Col-lege for a two-day visit Octo-ber 26 and 27.

Scott Moore, candidate for Baltimore County Executive spolce Monday, Oct. 24 at Tow-son State College. He said to the students that he considered ""taxes, schools, and education to be the main issues in the cam-paign"" not ""open housing."" Speaking of opening hous-ing, he said that he was ""completely opposed to it."" And added that he thought -the people of this state and country are not ready for opening housing.""
