Cyprus Educator Studying American Teacher Education ""Although I haven't been here long, I do sense something in the air which is lacking in my country. It is a more scientific approach to education,"" ad-mitted Dr. Andreas Kouros, head of adult education in Cyprus. ""The purpose of my visit"" said Dr. Kouros, here on a three month Fullbright scho-larship, ""is to see and com-pare what is done in this country as far as teacher-education is concerned, in order to improve our own system."" Dr. Kouros visited the Mar-garet Brent School, Mt. Royal School, and Lida Tall School. He met with Dr. Fitzgerald, Mrs. E. Cohn, and Mrs. Velie and several members of the KP division. He was on the Towson campus on Friday, October 11. His tour will take him to Feb. Grads Must Register All arts and sciences stu-dents who expect to graduate in February, should register with Francis Le Mire in the Placement Bureau. Albany, New York City, and Trenton and Triston, New Jersey. A conference in Florida concerning adult education will conclude the visit. In commentnig on the teach-ing profession in Cyprus, Dr. Kouros stated that ""Teachers receive a good salary taking in-to account the economy of the island, though the general state-ment is that they are under-paid."" Unlike the United States, the greatest demand is for teachers of secondary educa-tion. Although many young people are entering the teaching field, there is still a shortage of teachers. ""Although there is no tu-ition for teacher-education in Cyprus, one must sign a con-tract to work for a minimum of five years"" Dr. Kouros explain-ed. Those entering the elemen-tary level, most of which are men, are trained at community center colleges for two years. One who enters the six year cqurse of secondary teaching must study abroad. All young people must attend the opening of an elementary school in September before en-tering college in October. In Cyprus a three week period around Christmas and Easter is allowed for teaching practice. President Earl T. Hawkins calls the choice of the Catons-ville area for the University of Maryland ""more logical from our point of view,"" but feels that certain conditions must be met before he will give his full approval. His comments followed the decision by the Board of Regents of the University of Maryland to construct a Baltimore county branch on a 425-acre lot at the Homecoming Dance Theme Is World Fair The senior class will sponsor Towson's annual Homecoming Dance as a part of Homecom-ing Weekend Nov. 2. The dance, which will last from 9 p.m. to one a.m., comes at the culmin-ation of a day which will in-clude a Queen's Luncheon, a parade, and a soccer game be-tween Towson and the Univer-sity of Baltimore. To be held in the gymnas-ium, the dance will have as its theme ""The World's Fair Comes to Towson."" Dress will be semi-formal, and re-freshments will be served. Music for the occasion will be provided by the Dellon-aires. The high point of the dance will be the crowning of the Homecoming Queen, which will take place between 10:30 p.m. and 11 p.m. Tickets will be available in the alcove of Stephen's Hall with the presentation of an activity card. It is urged that tickets be gotten well in advance. Tickets will be availabe at the door only if there are any left, since there is a limit to the number of people who can be accomodated in the gymnasium. Alumni and outsiders may pur-chase tickets at a cost of $1.50 per person. Loan Blank Due By Dec. 1 Dean Murphy reminds all students that the deadline for filing applications for both the National Defense loans and Grant and Aid Scholarships is December 1, 1963. Beltway and Wilkens Avenue near Catonsville. Dr. Hawkins has been strongly opposed to a site near Towson, which had been previously proposed. ""If they must move out here, I'm glad they're not on Towson's door-step. Al-though I'm glad they're not in Towson, I nevertheless feel that the location is too close to College Park,"" he commented. ""Since they are moving to Baltimore county, I believe that they should only have programs offered by a university, instead of courses which can be provid-ed by the rest of the colleges in this area,"" he added. Dr. Hawkins is vice presi-dent of the Towson Chamber of Commerce, which has supported the construction of the branch near here. However he had promised to go along with the idea only if they ""emphasize professional, graduate, and post-graduate work."" Now, he especially feels that freshman and sopho-more courses should not be given, since the site is only 1 mile from Catonsville Com-munity College, which can provide this type of program. Dr. Hawkins further stipu-lates that the decision should be reviewed by the new Advisory Council for Higher Education, (Continued on page 6) ACP Rates TL ist Class Paper For Spring '63 Tower Light has been rated a first class college weekly for the third consecutive semester by the Associated Collegiate Press.
