Explaining further, Mrs. Cohen asked rhetorically, ""When you look at the ground, is it black?"" Asked what was her exact aim in these pieces of work, Mrs. Cohen declared she ""just couldn't explain it in such cut and dried terms."" ""I like to think of my work as a composer thinks of his symphony,"" she pointed out. ""There are no words and the listener�in my case, the viewer--forms his own ideas."" The artist said she couldn't even disclose her inspiration, since the work might mean something en-tirely different to the viewer. This is also the reason Mrs. Cohen doesn't name her work. (Continued on Page 6) Towson will remain affiliated with Both SGA officers pinned the National Student Association for another year. That became certain Tuesday afternoon when the Senate, in an emergency session, clobbered by a vote of 39 to 20 with six absten-tions an SGA Executive Council proposal that disaffiliation be made from NSA for one year. With the vote ended nearly three weeks of bickering over whether NSA is worthy of support from the college. John Tallman and Bob Highsmith, SGA president and vice president respectively, claimed vigorously in last week's Senate meeting it wasn't. Sue MacDonald, NSA coordin-ator, argued just as vigorously for extention of Towson's six-year stint with NSA. Tuesday's vote was a defeat for Tallman and Highsmith. Victory was sweet for Miss MacDonald, who had cam-aigned hard for her cause. It was on the recommendations by Tallman and Highsmith the Executive Council voted three weeks ago to suggest to the Senate disaffiliation. Alpha Psi Omega To Show Operetta ""Gilbert and Sullivan"", the next film in the Alpha Psi Omega series, will be shown in Van Bokkelen Auditorium, October 27, at 7:00 p.m. The film, which runs 112 minutes, is in color. It was produced by Frank and Sidney Gilliat, and dir-ected by Sidney Gilliat. Included in the cast are Robert Morley, Maurice Evans, and Peter Finch. The music is played by The London Symphony Orchestra, con-ducted by Sir Malcolm Sargeant. For many years the D'Oyly Carte estate refused to allow any film version, English or otherwise, to be made of the Gilbert and Sullivan operettas. However, in 1938, the estate gradually began to release the works with the release of ""The Mikado"" for production. Not until 1952, after many months of discussion, did the executors of the estate grant permission to London Films to produce a bio-graphy utilizing the music of aU the operettas. The result of the efforts is an accurate, down-to-earth biography which brings out many little-known facts about the ""Kings of the Comic Opera,"" said an Alpha Psi Omega spokesman.

Highsmith stated then that some of the local issues. considered as most pressing were establishment of a judicial body, revision of the election code, organization of a student insurance find, and several others. (Continued on Page 6) Use New System To Select FSC Freshman Steering Committee members held their first meeting on October 4. The members of this committee were chosen differently than in the past under a new program insti-tuted by the SGA for the selection of a temporary Freshman class ex-ecutive council. In the past the old Freshman Executive Council members were chosen by a vote taken in each orientation section, with two mem-bers from each section. This year, volunteers from each orientation section who were in-terested in becoming members of the new committee were asked to appear before a panel of upperclass officers to answer a few questions. On the basis of the answers, the panel tried to select those students whom it felt were most capable of assuming the responsibilities of the temporary council by virtue of their past experience. interest, and en-thusiasm, said Bob Highsmith, SGA vice president. After the panel had narrowed down its list, the remaining names were sent to their respective orien-tation sectons, where a vote was taken to elect their representative (Continued on Page 6) AUTA Nixes TL Edition Because of the Maryland State Teachers Association convention in Baltimore Thursday and Friday, October 19 and 20, there will be no Tower Light edition next Friday.
