tl19521001-000 "Vol. 6, No. 3 STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE, TOWSON October 1, 1952 Co-Ed Corner Grows In Past Five Years by Hope Brown Five years ago, the predecessor of the present coke bar, was located in the Glen Players' room in the Ad building. The initial purpose of the first Co-ed Corner was to serve coffee to faculty and students. As attendance to the Co-ed Corner grew, the college found it a new location in the basement of Newell Hall � the present one. The larger room made it possible for some students to eat lunches there. To satisfy the students' requests, more and more food items were carried. Corner Closed Many of these items came pack-aged in cellophane, waxpaper, or cardboard. The abundance of trash created a problem which has existed to the present time. Meas-ures were taken to improve the littered condition of the room two years ago when, by authority of the SGA, the Co-ed Corner was closed. Campaign Discussed This punitive measure was suc-cessful for the period immediate-ly following, in that the Corner presented a neater appearance. After a while, refuse once more began to accumulate on tables and floor. Such is the present state. And again the SGA is concerned. At a recent meeting, rudimentary plans for a ""clean up the coke bar"" campaign were discussed. Suggestions Offered The placing of more trash cans in more strategic places was ve-toed as it has been tried without much success. Among other sug-gestions offered was the placing of half-filled coffee cups, coke bottles, etc. on the counter to be emptied. The SGA hopes that in the on-coming campaign students Will give their fullest cooperation. STC Students Practice Teach With the beginning of the se-mester, many STC students are practice teaching. The student teaching assign-ments for the first quarter for Baltimore City, Baltimore County, and the Kindergarten-Primary group began September 8 and will run through November 12.

The program will include entertainment as well as a picnic supper. Building Plans Halt Changes Book Shop in the basement of Newell Hall has undergone few changes over the summer months. Reason for this is because of the construction under way in back of Newell Hall dining room. Part of this new addition is to be turned over to the students Union to be used as a Snack bar. This snack bar will be more elab-orate than the one in the Book Shop at the present time. This new Student Union lounge will take the place of the one in the Book Shop, thus enabling this shop to concentrate on the sell-ing of school supplies. George Wagner Will Give Organ Recital Mr. George M. Wagner of Bal-timore will give an organ recital next Tuesday, October 7, at 2:00 p.m. in the college auditorium. Harmony and composition con-stituted Mr. Wagner's major when he received his certificate from the Peabody Institute in 1934. He is now the organist and choirmas-ter of Saint Luke's Episcopal Church in Baltimore. All students so impressed by the recital on Tuesday afternoon will have an opportunity to try to mas-ter the art of playing this instru-ment. Dr. Wilford Hathaway is making arrangements to offer lessons to all students in the col-lege sincerely interested in learn-ing how to play the organ. Tentatively, Dr. Hathaway will be at the organ Wednesday even-ing, October 8 from 7 :00 until 10:00 p.m. to give instructions. These lessons will be free and after the first group meeting each lesson will last about one-half hour each. Every pupil will be Supper Ideas SGA Topic Possibilities of continuing Sun-day suppers is a topic which was recently discussed by the Student Government Association. Mr. Karl Moser, Business Mana-ger, elaborated on the reasons why this action has been taken. Members on the kitchen staff have been taxed with the extra burden of keeping this area in working condition because of the changes being made in the dining hall. There is now insufficient time to prepare this meal as the num-ber of working hours of the help has been cut by the state. The problem of preparing suf-ficient amount of food for the Sunday supper crowd has always existed, as the number in attend-ance has often been affected by the weather conditions. A survey taken discloses that approximately 90,/, of colleges do not serve this late Sunday meal. Members of the Student Coun-cil questioned the possibility of giving a box supper to those stu-dents desiring a Sunday meal. This, they suggested might help the drive to keep students on cam-pus this year. However, after re-consideration no concrete solution has been found regarding this food situation. Group Hears Budget Request Hearings of the#financial com-mittee in order to determine the budget for the coming year have begun. Approximately $22,000 has been allocated to the Student Government which in turn will be divided between 25 to 30 organ-izations. The first hearing al-lotted funds tentatively to seven groups. All of these allottments are greater than those of last year. Women Resident Council $ 200 Tower Light $4570 Freshman Advisory Council $ 350 Tower Echo Cheer Leaders Men's Resident Marshall $5200 $ 60 Council $ 150 $ 60 More Hearings There will be either two or three more evenings of hearings where allocations will be made. Curtis Wolf has stated that he hopes to have the complete report of the budget ready by October 7, when it will be presented to the Student Council for approval. Included in the group which has not as yet been brought before the financial committee are the International Relations Club, the Sophomore, Junior, and Senior Curtis Wolf SGA Treasurer Classes, the Glen Players, the Stu-dent Christian Association, and the Future Teachers of America. Tentative Allocations According to the Student Gov-ernment most of the organizations have tended to overestimate their needs and have asked for larger funds than are actually necessary. Although many groups have re-ceived the amount which they ori-ginally requested, these alloca-tions are only tentative and may be slightly reduced. Cushion Fund A cushion fund which was pro-posed last year, is still in the pro-cess of debate. This fund would do just what the name implies: it would serve as a place to which organizations that need more money at the end of the year could apply for extra funds upon approval of the Student Govern-ment Association. The idea of allotting award money aside from individual bud-gets is also being discussed. required to buy an elementary organ book. According to Dr. Hathaway, plans are in progress for having an outside instructor from Balti-more for those interested in ad-vanced study. Dr. Hathaway, who has been heard at the organ before all the assemblies thus far this semester, is a biologist by training. Having studied at Boston University, he included music in his study for his masters degree. Following World War II, Dr. Hathaway was a music supervisor in the public school system of Amherst, Mass. He also taught harmony and organ at the Uni-versity of Massachusetts. He is now the organist at the Dr. Wilford Hathaway Faith Presbyterian Church on Lock Raven Boulevard in this city. ""The Marriage Proposal,"" a one act play produced by the Glen Players, is scheduled for the fol-lowing Tuesday assembly hour. Club Plans Social Night With a renewal of campus ac-tivities underway, the Towson Youth Adult Fellowship announces plans for its initial meeting, to be held on Sunday night, October 5. A definite decision has not been made in the selection of a speaker, but the choice will be announced at a later date. Under the auspices of the STC chapter an appeal is being sent out to all colleges in the area to visit the Towson Presbyterian Church. It is located at Chesa-peake and Highland, in Towson. The invitation adds, ""Good fun and fellowship are possible only with your presence and cooper-ation."" Yearbook Holds Initial Meeting Coalition of the Tower Echoes staff was the main objective of the initial staff meeting which was held yesterday. Mr. Phineas Wright, the newly acquired permanent adviser of the yearbook, was present to offer his assistance. Review of the make up of the entire book was of ut-most importance to the entire group. Business manager, John McColgan, officially set his staff into action at this meeting. Pictures that have been taken thus far for the yearbook are those of Freshman Week activi-ties, which includes the bonfire, square dance, talent show, hike and picnic. "
