Dean Browne Willing To Help All Students In an office opposite the main bulletin board, there is a sign out-side which says ""Dean of Instruag. tion."" It is here 'that one Dr. Kenneth A. Browne has his office. Dr. Browne, the new dean of the col-lege, comes to Towson after holding cimilar positions at various other institutions throughout the country. At a recent interview, Dean Browne made the gtatement that he was very much impressed at the friendly atmosphere which prevails on the campus. This impression was determined by the attitude of the students who always speak, whether or not they have had a formal .ac-quaintance. Informality is the keyndte when one is holding a conversation with the new dean. The general feeling that this man leaves is one which cannot be duplicated. Always will-ing and ready to help a student in need, is the attitude of Dean Browne. When asked to help solve a problem, he usually comes up with more than one solution. Among his hobbies there is one standout�photography. A camera fiend in the true sense of the word, he hopes to be able to make slides of the various campus activities. Dean Browne also stated that he and his wife were very much im-pressed by the beauty that surrounds the campus and vicinity. While at other colleges throughout Dean Browne the country, our new dean also was advisor to various student activities on the campuses. It is through his varied background that he is al-ways ready to meet the needs of the people. Perhaps one could sum up the new dean in a few words; a well educated man, holding many de-grees, who is always ready and willing to lend a helping hand to those in distress. Autumn Whirl Tomorrow; Girls To Receive Roses Tomorrow night opens the social season at Towson with a dance that is expected to top all others in past years. Under the management of the Tower Light staff, the present Autumn Whirl will offer everything from music, refreshments, and entertainment to favors for the ladies. In previous years the TL set a precedent by distributing favors. This year will be no exception as arrangements have been made to give every young lady cut-roses done in corsage form as she and her escort enter the setting for an enjoyable evening's entertainment. Echoes Appoints Department Staff Department editors for the Tower Echoes have been appointed by Bill Hammerman, Editor. Robert Stevens and Doris Mellor will edit the Senior section of the book which is now in the dummy stage, that is to say that tentative makeup is being done. The Activities will be handled by Lou Draper while Delores Maz-zatenta will do the Features. Flo Ruland and Frank Cramblitt will head the Sports staff. Photography and Art will be managed by Willard Strack and Don Rogerson, respec-tively. These editors will meet with their staffs this week and begin the actual production of the annual.

All students are invited to par-ticipate in the patron drive spon-sored by the Tower Echoes, State Teachers College's Annual.

SCA Recognition Vesper To Be Sunday Evening Membership Recognition\ Vesper Services of the Student Christian Association will be held Sunday at 7 P.M. in Richmond Hall Parlor. SCA members are urged to at-tend and all are invited to par-ticipate. The 22-voice choir, under the direction of Miss Hazel Mac Donald, will sing for the service. The gym will be decorated in fall colors with an accent on dull lights which usually characterize this particular season. With the use of indirect lighting the gym will of course be quite dark in spots, thus lending to the general atmosphere. Witches and gobblins will not be present, but the staff has come up with other spirits to replace the traditional ones. The music will be furnished by the Deans of Rhythm, a local or-chestra. The organization has played at several of the STC dances and will no doubt leave many a person with surprise as they play music styled after the late Glen Miller. Again, as in the past, the band will also feature the tantalizing songs of Jackie Jackson, one of the outstanding vocalists in this region. Miss Jackson, a student at Tow-son, will no doubt live up to her fine reputation as a dilstinctive songstress. Self-service will be the order of the night at the refreshment table as a punch fizz will attract many a person. This secret recipe was devised by a Brazilian mixologist. The second portion will be imported to supplement the first. The dance will be informal, keep-ing with the annual Tower Light tradition and pocketbook. The festivities will begin at nine, the dance will end 9""999 There will be the usual charge of one dollar for all people other than STC students. This charge is made so that the staff can buy coffee after the affair is over. Dorm Purchases Television Set Last week end the women's dormitory purchased a 19-inch ,screen RCA television which was placed in the foyer. This was made .possible by last year's House Com-mittee which set aside a fund for a television set. The remainder of the cost was met by the surplus funds of the House Committee. Definite hours for the playing of the set has been determined and posted on the bulletin board in the 'foyer. The schedule is: Monday - Thursday: 11: 30-1: 00, 4: 30-7: 00. Friday: 11:30-1:00, 4:30-12 mid-night. Saturday: 9 A.M.-12 midnight. Sunday: 9 A. M. to 10:30 P.M. This may be deviated for special shows pertaining either directly to the college or general intellectual advancement. However, special permission must be obtained from the Resident Director on duty for this to be played at times other than those stated above. "
