Leadership Conference Covers Many School -Wide Problems 'So You are A Leader,"" with this' theme in mind some 110 leaders from the Towson Campus, officers of nearly every organization on campus spent the weekend of September 26 and 27, at the Fresh Air Camp in Bel Air. The group arrived and registered on Friday afternoon and spent the remainder of the day and evening socializing and becoming ac-quainted with the other officers on campus. The evening entertain-ment consisted of a square dance and an impromptu swim. The weather has balmy and warm and a good number of the group went swimming on Friday. Saturday was devoted to discussion groups on topics of interest to the student body and the afternoon was given over to discussion by groups of officers as to how they can best perform their jobs. The keynote speaker, Miss Charlotte Main, a practicing lawyer and candidate for the Senate in the fifth district of Baltimore, spoke on the teacher as a leader to open the Saturday morning session. The _morning discussion groups were perhaps the most interesting and vital of the entire conference. Such subjects as the cut system, improving school spirit and better Foreign Student At Towson A new member of the Junior College is Annalise Van Royen, of Bilthoven in Ultrecht, Amsterdam, who registered on September 29. Annalise's stepfather, Dr. W. Van Royen, is head of the De-partment of Geography at the University of Maryland. Annalise is attending the Junior College at Towson because of its proximity to her parents' home in Ellicott City. She lives off campus be-cause she iS a Junior College stu-dent. Annalise was born in Indonesia and her family moved to the Neth-erlands in 1946 by ship as was her recent voyage to the United States. The latter trip was made in the SS Ryndam. Even with bad weather and rough seas, An-nalise said the trip was ""won-derful."" Annalise completed 12 years of school -- Six years of elementary school and six years of high school. In her school system, mathematics, science and lan-guage were considered the major subjects; and all others minor sub-jects. In high school she was giv-en no choice of Subjects until her last year when she chose between art and bookkeeping, and took bookkeeping. During high school she had six years of French, Ger-man and English, five years of Dutch, three years of Latin and two years of Greek. Also, she stu-died six years of algebra, four years of plane geometry and two years of solid geometry and trig-onometry. Her Science courses in-cluded four years of biology and physics, three years of chemistry, two years of mechanics and one year of astronomy. She also had six years of history, geography and physical education, five years of art, four years of music and one year of bookkeeping. ""Physical Education was not stressed as much as it is here and sports are not connected with the schools,"" reflected Annalise, whose favorite sports include hockey, tennis and swimming. ""So You Are A Letuk.r"" attendance at lectures and special events drew considerable conver-sation, argumentation, and discus-sion. Each of the groups not only had a student discussion leader, but also a faculty consultant. An outstanding group of faculty led by Dr. Hawkins contributed con-siderably to the success of the conference. Dr. McCleary, Dr. Hutson, Dr. Sargent, Dr. Bize and Mrs. Wagemann all served as con-sultants for the various discussion groups. Each of kept a s'et read at a the discussion groups of minutes which were general session in the afternoon. Some of the points of particular interest to the student body are: 1. Better publicity for all events. 2. A better and clearer defini-tion of the cut system as it exists at Towson and the possible intro-duction of a graduated cut system. 3. That Towson is often under-rated by the student body as a whole and that spirit is often lack- ""Recreation . Miss Charlotte Main ing for this reason. 4. That the power of positive thinking has considerable to do with the outlook of the student body and that negative thinking which pervades the campus should be done away with. 5. That Leadership be spread among the entire group instead of resting within a select group. Following the final group ses-sion in the afternoon each class and the faculty put on a skit in competitive form. It was decided that the faculty was in a class by itself, and the prize went to the Sophomore class. Following the final banquet the weary group departed for Towson with new ideas and enthusiasm for school. In a follow-up of the con-ference an ACTION COMMITTEE has been set up to sort all of the ideas that came from the meet-ing and write letters to the or-ganizations that the topics affect.
