Officers Consider Role On Campus At '60 Leadership Conference hungry i's, cold weather, mature minds, bonfires, youth as lead-ers, lines for meals and discussion groups characterized Towson's 1960 Leadership Conference. After spending a night trying to sleep despite the lack of heating units and the abundance of cold weather, Towson's leaders were awakened at 7 A.M. via the PA. system. Rousing music was played as students attempted to get out of warm beds and dressed in clothes which were cold. A general meeting followed break-fast. Dr. Earle Hawkins gave a brief history of S.T.C.'s Leadership Conference and emphasized the im-portance of scholarship and leader-ship. Keynote speaker Diane Hatch, of Trenton State College, gave an inspiring speech as she urged campus leaders to look around at campus problems and see where they can help. ""A leader should see where his group should go and influence them to take this path,"" pointed out Diane. ""Promote international, political and community awareness,"" urged Diane. ""Keep up an intellectual atmosphere at school. Introduce students to education as well as activities. This is not just the job Johnston To Discuss International Affairs Students will have a chance to discuss current international affairs with Mr. Johnston of the history department. Tuesday from 9 to 10 P.M. an informal coffee hour is scheduled in Richmond Parlor. Both male and female students may go in and talk personally with Mr. Johnston. of the faculty and administration."" ""You are not acting as leaders as you should be in an educational community. Move into other areas, branch out; cut out all programs which are not doing any good. Graduate from high school to col-lege activities."" Discussion groups followed the general meeting and many good points were brought up in these meetings. Following lunch which included, among other things, vegetable soup and a line, Dr. Hawkins, Dean Orielle Murphy and Dean Kenneth Browne presented a panel discus-sion entitled ""The Mature Mind."" Among the characteristics of a ma-ture mind which Dr. Hawkins men-tioned were (1) not frightened by change or threatened change, (2) humble, not boastful, (3) shows integrity and responsibility, (4) has self-control, (5) thinks for himself, and (6) lives by principles based on values. Very few people have all of these characteristics according to Dr. Hawkins, who also added that college does not make mature people, it only helps to develop them. ""One acquires a mature mind by doing what mature people do,"" ex-plained Dean Browne. ""We should have a purpose for everything we do,"" he added, ""as we have freedom of choice and can make our own plans."" ""Are you interested in developing a mature mind or in just collecting credits?"" asked Dean Murphy."" To be mature one must become in-volved,"" she added. Officers' meetings and another round of discussion groups followed the panel discussion. Students then prepared for the dinner cookout which concluded the Conference. Dress Regulation Change Pending A change in regulations concern-ing dress was brought up at the Student Life Council meeting yes-terday; however it will not go into effect until approved by the Hous-ing Committee and the Student Life Committee. This change, which was passed unanimously by the Women's resi-dence Council reads as follows: IV. General Decorum A. Attire Bur mudas, kilts, pedal pushers, and slacks (NOT shorts, dungarees, etc.), may be worn anytime, any place with the following excep-tions. They may not be worn in the: 1. Dining Hall (except for Saturday breakfast, Satur-day lunch and Sunday night sandwiches). 2. Stephens Hall. 3. Van Bokkelen Hall. 4. Lida Lee Tall School. 5. Library. 6. Student Centre before 6:00 P.M. 7. Newell and Prettyman Hall foyers before 6:00 P.M. (unless just passing through). 8. Newell and Prettyman Hall foyers while taking duty. They may not be worn on Sun-day before 5:00 P.M. except when participating in athletic activities. This change will not go before the committees until next month so stu-dents are reminded that previous regulations are in effect until fur-ther notice is given. Vote Thursday A voting machine will be set up in the Student Centre Thurs-day. This project is sponsored by the Circle-K and will enable Towsonites to indicate their choice for President. ""If the members of the Warfield Commission had looked at all of the facts, they would not have made the recommendations which they did,"" emphasi7ed Dr. Earle Haw-kins, S.T.C. President at one of Tuesday's special convocations. These convocations were designed to inform the students as to the present situation concerning the plans to expand the University of Maryland by annexing three of the State Teachers Colleges (Towson, Frostburg and Salisbury). Because of the opposition by per-sons connected with the colleges, another report was issued in Sep-tember. This report modified parts of the Warfield Commission's re-port. It states that graduate pro-grams in the centers could exist; students would not have to go to the nearest center, but if they didn't they should not consider asking to live in residence or apply-ing for financial aid; and three col-leges (Education, Liberal Arts and Business Administration) would be established at each center. Dr. Hawkins and others involved see this plan as accomplishing noth-ing more than that which the col-leges could do on their own if given the necessary funds. ""In fact,"" pointed out Dr. Hawkins, ""Towson planned to add the Liberal Arts degree as well as a degree for sec-ondary education. This only omits a degree in Business Administration which can be secured in numerous colleges in the Baltimore area."" Dr. Hawkins also refuted the idea that the new plan will save money. He pointed out that the costs of the Princess Anne branch of the University of Maryland are higher than those of neighboring Salisbury. High School Seniors Visit Towson Campus High school seniors from all Maryland counties except Balti-more visited the Towson campus yesterday to see college life first-hand. These students, who are inter-ested in coming to Towson, were taken on a tour of the campus by guides from the educational blocks. The main purpose of the tour was to give the visitors a chance to see how college classes are run. Next on the agenda was an assembly with members of the Student Govern-ment Association, Student Educa-tion Association and college ad-ministration priding. Finally, the day was concluded with a discus-sion of the college's offerings in teacher education and liberal arts. Seniors from Baltimore City high schools have been invited to visit S.T.C. Monday and those from Bal-timore County have been scheduled to come on Wednesday. "
