tl19630920-000 "Campus Face Undergoes Change; Dorm Heads New Construction If all goes according to present Plans, the new women's dorm, SO on to be rising on Prettyman Field, will be ready for use by September, 1964. This was the opinion offered by Mr. Karl J. Moser, business manager here at Towson. He commented that ""the contractors have 400 days in which to Complete the dorm, but I have been assured that they will be finished by next September."" The dorm will have 75 rooms and will acommodate 150 women. It will also contain a resident director's apartment and super-visor's apartments. ""The new dorm will be an exact duplicate of Prettyman Hall, with the exception of a few minor details that have been changed for various reasons,"" observed Mr. Moser last week. Besides housing some of the increasing enrollment expected in the future, the new building will serve, to some extent, to relieve some of the crowded rooms in Newell Hall. The dorm is being built by the P. Persico and Son Con-struction Company at a cost of approximately one-half mil-lion dollars. Gadreau and Gadreau are the architects. Other construction is also being done on the Student Center patio. The patio is to be glassed in and will serve as a student lounge for both summer and winter.

Wilson, Director of the State Board of Trustees for the Mary-land colleges, at Towson's fall convocation, Monday morning. Wilson was the principal speaker at the assembly held in Stephens Hall Auditorium and televised on closed cir-cuit sets in Van Bokkelen and SH 220. The speaker pointed out that Towson, in its 97th year, is ""one of the most respected state colleges in the nation."" He further stressed the fact that education in Maryland is at a crossroads. ""There is no relationship between the size of an in- Frances J.

LeMire is developing a stu-dent placement bureau at the College. stitute and the quality of education it offers,"" Wilson explained. ""Success of higher education depends on the financial resources being provided,"" he added. According to Wilson, the appropriated $8% million is necessary this year for the expansion of the state colleges' programs and facilities in Mary-land. Towson has received $3,357,201 for 1965, the largest single amount approved by the Board. This 29.9 percent increase over last year's expenses was necessary because of the college's recent change to an arts and science institution. Wilson feels that the con-struction of a University of Maryland Branch near the Towson campus would be detrimental to both colleges. He stated that ""healthy com-petition"" will strengthen our education system, but jealousy and unnecessary contention should be avoided. LeMire Assumes New Dean Post Towson's new member of the administration, Frances J. Le- Mire, hopes the theory that one should meet administrators only when necessary will not keep him from meeting as many students as possible. LeMire has been appointed to fill Towson's new admin-istrative post, Assistant Dean of Students, this year. He will be primarily concerned with ""streamlining and clarify-ing"" the programs involving loans and scholarships, part-time student employment, and the development of a placement bureau for Towson graduates. A native of the state of Michigan and a graduate of the Grand Rapids primary and secondary school system, LeMire took his Bachelor of Science degree from the Uni-versity of Michigan (1956). His Master's degree was acquired in guidance and coun-seling in 1959 from the same (Continued on Page 4) "
