The SGA, with the cooperation of the Tower Light is providing an oppor-tunity for the students of Tow-son State to express their opinions on the question, ""Who should be the next Governor of the State of Maryland?"" Tower Light is presenting the candidates views on state edu-cation and the problems of Tow-son State. Candidates have con-centrated on these issues in the statements which appear in to-day's edition of the Tower Light, since these issues will be of the most immediate interest to Towson students. A ballot appears on page 6 of today's Tower Light. A vot-ing center has been set up in Stephen's Hall so that the stu-dents can vote. As each student votes, his name will be checked off on the class list so as to make sure that each student has one, and only one, vote. Stu-dents must present their ID cards when they cast their vote. This is proof that they are eli-gible to vote. SGA spokesmen are hopeful that a large per-centage of students will vote. will make every effort to see that any areas of confusion and complexity will be cleared up as speedily as possible and that planning for the future will be carried out on a long range rather than a piecemeal basis.

MAHONEY ""From conversations with members of the Tower Light staff, I have been made aware that there are certain deficien-cies in the area of facilities and planning at Towson State College."" ""While I deplore these, it must be pointed out that Tow-son State College is at this point in a transitional period, and the conditions referred to above are the result of the effort to make the needed changes in academic and phys-ical facilities available.""

PRESSMAN The primary function of a state college is to serve the Pianist Plays In Concert On Tuesday, October 18th, 150 students and various fac-ulty members were entertained by an arousing piano concert given by Frederick Donald Truesdell. Dr. Truesdell, first played the expressive Sonata in B. flat Major, Op. posth. (1828), by Schubert. He was re-called to the stage by ap-plause. He then played Chopin's Fantasie in F Minor, Op. 49. Dr. Trues-dell's last piece was by the contemporary composer, Samuel Barbar. The Sonata, Op. 26 (1949) is a work requiring ""extreme con-trol."" Dr. Truesdell recommend-ed the piece for students of piano as ""rewarding and well-ruade."" Dr. Truesdell feels the piece is ""neo-romantic, emo-tional, and appealing,"" and the audience seemed to feel the same way. Dr. Truesdell felt that the audience was responsive, which he felt was a credit to our stu-dents, many of whom waited te personally thank him for his performance. Dr. Truesdell sta-ted: ""I have enjoyed being here in Baltimore and making a con-tribution."" educational needs of state resi-dents. In order to do this ef-fectively it must receive finan-cial support from the state suf-ficient to maintain academic standards as high as those of private institutions. This means providing up to date science labs, and other modern facilities as well as attracting high cali-ber teachers by means of at-tractive salaries and other bene-fits. A way in which Towson State College in particular can serve state residents would be to offer free tuition to students entering the teaching profes-sion. These students after graduation would be qualified to teach in Maryland public schools. By attracting qualified students who might otherwise leave the state to attend college. or who would otherwise be finan-cially unable to attend college we may perhaps alleviate the already existing 4000-teacher F horta ge.

AGNEW Students of Towson State: This election is of as much vital concern to you, as it is to all of Maryland's voting citizens and as it is to the nation as well. The outcome of this elec-tion will determine the philoso-phical climate as well as the ad-ministrative direction of Mary-land for the next decade. You, in many ways personify Maryland, full of potential; poised on the threshold of a bright future; eager to meet the challenge of the present; but always conscious of the so-cial and political conflicts that threaten to disrupt, even des-troy your life. In this election, Maryland voters face a choice terrifying simplicity . . . to affirm or to deny the future. Marylanders must either move forward with (Continued en Page 6) "
