This meeting was called to draft plans for future steps to be taken to stop the proposal to convert Towson, Frostburg and Salisbury State Teachers colleges into branches of the University of Maryland. A pamphlet was decided upon as a good way to let the people know that the state teachers colleges do not favor the Warfield Plan. Tenta-tive plans call for a group of citizens not closely associated with the college writing the pamphlet. Dis-tribution plans are not certain; however, it is hoped to cover as wide an area as possible. The group plans to meet again On October 12 to discuss further plans.

Faculties To Discuss Secondary Teaching Preparation of senior high school teachers will be one of the topics discussed at the meeting of the fa-culties of Maryland's five state teachers colleges October 12 and 13. A preliminary conference was held September 28 by the dean of instruction and a faculty repre-sentative of each of the five state teachers colleges. This was a plan-ning meeting presided over by Dr. Harold Reece, Supervisor of Teacher Education and Higher Edu-cation of the State Department of Education. Dean Kenneth Browne and Dr. Henry Hutson represented Towson at this meeting. These two meetings, as well as a curriculum conference of repre-sentatives from all the teachers col-leges on June 13 and 14 and a meet-ing of the Towson faculty on Sep-tember 9. are for the purpose of de-veloping a curriculum for the state teachers college which will gradu-ate senior high school teachers as well as liberal arts majors. As pre-paration for senior high school teaching includes a major in the subject field, certain departments will offer majors immediately. Others are expected to join them when this becomes feasible. The Class of 1964 will definitely be able to take part in the new pro-gram. This year's sophomores and possibly some of the juniors can also take advantage of this. Junior college students may elect to remain here for the entire four years and enroll in the coming liberal arts program. "
