Mean-while, she is working at Towson this year in phase II of a three-phase Corps training program. Our coed is the second Towson student this year to enter the Corps. Last spring, Dick Wiseman took the Corps examination and was accepted into the program to teach in Nigeria, Africa. Dick left for Africa early this month after finishing up some language courses in Georgia. In phase I of the program last summer, Linda worked a 15 hour day at the Texas Techno-logical College in Lubbock, Texas. Among other studies in a typical day were four hours of Spanish, three hours of Latin American area studies, and two hours of language lab. Also, there were a variety of speeches from native speakers, corpsmen who've worked in Latin Ameri-ca, and college professors. Included in phase I of the eight week course were two field trips for on-job experi-ence. The first of the trips was a three-day camp out in Palodura Canyon near Lub-bock. Two sheep and two goats were slaughtered and dressed as needed for their meals during the three days. Our coed and her friends took a six mile hike to study their canyon's rock forma-tions. A couple weeks later, Linda Went out for another stay in the field. This time, she lived with a Mexican family of five on a small farm near Lubbock. Al-ways speaking in Spanish, eat-ing the same meals, and even working in the family's cotton field made for sound and memor-able experience. Linda pointed out that one important fact was explained over and over to the appren-tices corpsmen working at Texas Tech. College. They were told that their courses in South American politics, social maladies, or history etc., would not enable them to understand any particular village's problems. To force your ideas and ideals on the villagers is a sure way to Nike In Meal Prices Due to the approxiately 25% increase in the cost of food and the kitchen personnel, it has been necesary to raise the prices of meals in the dining hall.

The proposal will be brought New Choral Director To Form Mixed Chorus This fall the College saw the addition of Mr. Bruce Hoagland to the faculty of Music. Hoag-land comes here after obtaining his Bachelor's degree from In-diana State University, and Master's degree from the Uni-versity of Illinois where he was a fellow student of Mr. Gilbert Brungardt, formerly of the Towson music faculty. Hoag-land is taking over the posi-tion cd choral director left va-cant by Brungardt. Besides his studies at Uni-versity of Illionis, Hoagland has had several teaching positions. He was assistant choir director at the Univer-sity of Missouri at Kansas City for two years as well as a public school teacher at several schools in Indiana, while going to school him-self in summers. His second interest is athletics, and he has coached wrestling. Having spent this summer at the University of Illinois with Brungardt, with whom he dis-cussed the possibilities of Tow-son, in the area of choral music, Hoagland has decided to form one new choir. This is to be a mixed chorus consisting of about twenty of the best singers available. According to Hoagland, nine tenths of the good choral music written is for mixed voices. Therefore, he feels that a chorus of this type would be of greater benefit for both the per-formers and their audiences. He expects to maintain the Men's and Women's Glee clubs at their former levels of performance. All three groups will perform music of all types and all periods, in addition to which, the mixed chorus will perform works never before heard, as well as some which have not been performed for three hun-dered years. 1.

(Continued on Page 4) Dr. White urged that chil-dren be trained from the time they start reading to develop regular study and reading habits as a part of their daily lives. Qualities for success include, he said: early independence, patience, and persistence. In the physiology' of exercise, Dr. White called the legs the most important, since blood moves slower and clots are most likely to develop there. He urged golfing and bicycling�""golfing without a cart, though,"" he cautioned. Other convocation pro-gram items included the in-troduction of new faculty members by Dean Gilbert Hill, a short talk by Dr. Hawkins on the importance of the Centennial, and the promise of other distin-guished speakers during the balance of the school year. SGA President Neal Brooks spoke on the importance of student opinion in the SGA, and said that his door was always open to students. Brooks also introduced foreign exchange student Barbara Andersen, of Sweden, to the assembly. Dr. Hawkins closed the pro-ceedings with a faux pas which sent faculty, students, and guests away laughing. With the ever-present heat of the day, Dr. Hawkins requested that ""students remain seated until the faculty has passed out.""
