Hawkins found it necessary to 'fleet With Gay Lyter, yearbook edi-tor, and Milt Saulsbury, S. G. A. rresident, to decide on definite regu-lations for future publication dates. in 1952, it was decided that the T�Wer Echoes would be available to 34'dents at the beginning of the new school semester so that all Senior 4et1vities might be included. Be-cause of negligence of past editors arld difficulties with the printers, the classes of 1952 the to 1958 failed to meet decided publication date. The 'Idniinistrative Council decided in 1?58 that the best remedy for this situation would be to have all year- 15��1Q come out in June when all students would still be on campus. One More Chance f Irhe staff of the 1959 annual asked 6('11 wie more chance to put their 1-1?It out in September, and the :48 Yearbook came out later than � of those in previous years.

Towson Returns To Normal As 'Spooks' No Longer Exist by Betty The usual Sunday evening quiet pervaded in the residence halls of .S.T.C. on the night of October 16, 1960 . That is until the bells chimed 12 midnight. This was no ordinary midnight this was the beginning of S P 0 0 K W E E K. Spookmasters crept stealthily along dimly lit halls searching diligently for all-impor-tant room numbers. A few over-anxious spooks waited inside, ears A shy spook makes a few minor adjustments to his costume before entertaining in the Student Centre. pressed closely against their doors, listening�listening for the rustle of paper. Footsteps running echoed down the long halls, doors creaked, and spooks moaned as they read the signs that announced their doom! The week passed. Rustling anx-iously about, spooks pestered up-perclassmen with questions, re-quests, and compliments, in order that they might finsih their assign-ments. Nightly performances enter-tained observers at the Student Centre. Suspense filled the halls on Thurs- Ruark day evening. The night of meeting was here. Now the most exhaulted spoolunasters' identity was to be revealed. After many blindfolded spooks crawled through their re-spective tortures and displayed true loyalty to their school through songs, and cheers, they were enter-tained in the homes of their masters. Saturday morning showed much activity. Hall, smokers and upper-classmen's rooms became havens for beloved possessions. Rooms emptied rapidly�only a skeleton of their dwellers' personality remained. After a strengthening breakfast with their now revealed spookmas-ters, the spooks proceeded to their respective work details. The morn-ing was filled wtih various duties, and the weary freshmen, strength renewed by a nourishing lunch, re-turned to the time-consuming task of cleaning their masters' boudoir. Mopping, scrubbing and polishing were among these numerous duties, and although the job was tedious, the finished product gleamed and shinned through the exhausted eyes of the ""spook-week slaves."" After a brief rest the slaves pa-raded proudly about the dining hall in colorful costume displaying the ingenuity of their spookmasters. Frightened freshmen staggered back to their rooms to don once again the clothes of the working class. This time ther were to make their last pilgrimage to the ""cave of horrors""�the tunnel ! ! ! ! Grouped together for security the participants in the ceremony listened anxiously for their names as the first group departed to meet their fate. Group after group departed. Some of the weak fell along the way, but the strong survived�survived to witness the shocking performance of the wrecking crew as they returned to their rooms. As the clock struck 12 midnight former spooks reverted to their old routine. Girls' Dorms Get To Work by Barbara Tait The WRC may have its doubts, girls. On the plaque that is kept by the Alumni Association honoring the best dormitory is found not one girls' dorm name. For the past 4 years the boys have taken all laurels for Homecoming decora-tions. Let's make 1960 a ""year of change"" and, girls, prove that we have as much imagination and resourceful-ness as Towson's all-powerful males. The plaques will be on display the week prior to Homecoming so you can see this disgrace for yourself. Christian Scientists Organize At Towson Christian Scientists on our cam-pus recently organized as a religious group and are holding regular weekly testimony meetings on Tues-day afternons at four o'clock in the chapel. These meetings consist of readings from the King James version of the Bible and from the Christian Sci-ence text-book, (Science and Health With Key to The Scriptures, by Mary Baker Eddy discoverer and founder of Christian Science) and of the relating of experiences the stud-ents have had in applying their religion to campus life.
