tl19661014-000 "Vol. XIX, No. 4 TOWSON STATE COLLEGE, BALTIMORE, MARYLAND Officer DeFontes Reveals New Parking Restrictions Parking is a problem faced by Towson students every morn-ing. Yellow curbs and a scarcity of parking lots add to the chaos. At the beginning of the year, Towson permited its students to park beside un-painted curbs. Within two days, however, every curb was seen sporting bright yellow stripes. According to Officer Joseph DeFontes of the Campus Police, the Baltimore County Police in-sisbed that the school prohibit curb parking. The narrow lanes and sharp curves' caused many tight squeezes and a number of cards have dents and scratches giving proof to this. Students have also been park-ing in front of Newell Hall. This is an illegal parking area 24 hours a day and all cars found there are being given tickets. In front of the Student Center and Glen Esk, warn-ings are being left on the cars and eventually tickets will be given out to parked vehicles. In addition to losing the park-ing area next to the curbs and in front of Newell Hall, con-struction of th.e.new classroom building has caused the gravel student parking lot to be re-arranged. All traffic has been redi-rected to enter the lot from (Continued on Page 3) PRIVA-r a PROPERTY OWNED BY FRANKLIN REALTY FRAMS& BY TOWN STATE ,STUDENTS OR TEACHERS le PROHIBITED Violafvrs Mt Be Towed To GREENWOOD'S Gange Usa E, NORTH AVE.

The Conference is a yearly gathering of all officers of campus organizations for the purpose of finding solutions to some of the problems existing on campus. The underlying theme of this year's conference is ""The Student-Puppet or Par-ticipant?"" and wil center around the report done by Ken Peters, member-at-large on last year's SGA Executive Committee, con-cerning the status of student representatives on Student- Faculty Committees. The co-chairmen for the con-ference are Deborah Kraus and Nancy Jordan. Miss Kraus served as co-chairman of the last conference as well as hold-ing the job of SGA Recording Secretary and Editorials Editor of the Tower Light. Miss Jor-dan is in her second year as Senator fro mthe Baptist Stu-dent Union and was Entertain-ment chairman for last Year's conference. The two day conference will be broken into three workshops, a panel discussion, and a talk by a guest speaker. The Friday workshop is traditionally the office skills workshop in which various members of the SGA Executive Committee discuss the how of their particular job with those students who hold year.

Dr. John R. Bareham, Physical Science professor and instructor of the as-tronomy course offered at Towson, feels that ""the plan-etarium has added consider-ably to science courses. It takes the place of a thous-and words, making every-thing said more concrete and understandable."" Adds Dr. Bareham, ""Next to real observations, this is the best way of getting across as-tronomical facts and phenono-ma. The planetarium might even be better, because one can control time, and weather con-ditions do not matter."" Resides its present use by the astronomy and physical science classes. a class for interested students might be offered teaching the opera-tion of the instrument. Talking about how Towson came to have a planetarium, Dr. Bareham said the main problem of getting one was to convince the administration of the college that one was needed. Finally, the $15.000 needed for the equipment was allot-ted, and its construction be-gan. For years the only planetar-ium in the Baltimore area was the Davis Planetarium of the Maryland Academy of Sciences. The Davis Planetarium has the oldest projector in the Balti-more area, first used in the late 1940's. In recent years, more and more colleges and high schools began to include planetaria in their expansion plans. Baltimore Junior College and the Naval Academy now possess planetaria. ���-�-??��v ered are Presidents and Vice- Presidents, Secretaries, Trea-surers, Social Chairmen, Sena-tors, and Publicity Chairmen. The Saturday workshops will pertain more directly to the theme of the conference and will be divided into morning and afternoon sessions. Each ses-sion will be run by three stu-dents, Pat Rohde, Jack Wilson, and Bob Cullison. After the afternoon session, there will be time for everyone to meet and discuss any solutions which might have come up during the day. The panel discussion will be handled a bit differently this year. It will consist of a num-ber of past Presidents of both the SGA and the Senior Class. Some of those who will be on the panel are Neal Brooks, SGA President '65-'66, Ed Shirley. President of the Class of '66, James Binko of the Education Department, SGA President '57- '58, and Ed Shumacher, Direc-tor of the Fresh Air Camp. The main topic of discussion will be Towson as they saw it and the changes that have been made over the past few years. The guest speaker is not known at this time, but it will probably be someone from NSA in Washington. The speech will tie in with the theme of the conference. For relaxation, a square dance and bonfire are planned for Friday night. Mr. Gordon Brooks, father of Neal. will call the dances, a repeat performance fromlas t year. Pianist Truesdale Appears at Towson A recital by pianist Frederick Donald Truesdale of the College of William and Mary will launch Towson's fall musical program on October 18.

Vote For Dean Sidetracked By Administration CHAMPAIGN-URBANA, ILL. (CPS) � Student-administra-tive relations at the University of Illinois took a great leap sideways when the administra-tion promised to consult stu-dents before selecting a new dean, and then chose a man whose name was never presen-ted for consideration. Students have been moving to take part in more admin-istrative - faculty decisions since last year when they were admitted to academic policy councils. They have been working with the ad-miniAration in formulating social rules for thirty years. When the Dean of Students position became open last term, however, University President David Henry resisted student pressures for participation in the faculty Search Committee for a replacement. President Henry compro-mised with Robert Hyman, the Student Senate president at that time. According to Byman. President Henr) promised to consult with him if the Student Senate did not push for representation on the Search Committee. By-man was to offer his sugges-tions to the Committee after seeing the list of candidates. The Student Senate leader ended up seeing what he thought were only names of pre-liminary choices. The man sub-sequently chosen was not in-cluded, he said. President Hen-ry contended Byman saw the final list. In reaction, Byman introduced a bill in the Student Senate last week to censure the President and the Search Committee for ""breach of confidence."" Aftc) Senate debate, he moved to re-commit the bill for further study. (Continued on Pug* 41 "
