His theme will be the ""Aims of Education and the New Towson."" ""The Towson community must take stock with careful and de-liberate scrutiny not only what we have now, but what our educational goals shall be in the future,"" Miss McDonald commented on the theme of Dr. McKee's speech. ""Obviously, we're not propos-ing that merely because our name has changed Towson will automatically change overnight. Rather we feel that as our curriculum broadens we must gear our thinking towards education in a new light, that being education in an arts and sciences college,"" she continued. Also on the agenda for Satur-day is an address by a faculty member, a student panel, a faculty panel, and a closing banquet. Miss McDonald concluded that the outstanding objective of the conference will be to lessen the gap between campus and com-munity leadership. Kacher Opens Senate Session SGA President Russ Kacher opened the first senate meeting of the 1963-64 session, Tuesday, in SH 220. During the brief meeting the major order of business was the addition of six ad hoc committees to the senate's standing committees for the year. Kacher turned the meeting over to Ken Masters and pro-posed from the floor that the senators mandate the SGA pres-ident to include the Special Events, Foreign Student Ju-dicial Board, Academie Evalu-ation, Grievance and Program Coordination Committees under the senate's supervision. He explained that a func-tion of the Academic Eval-uation Committee would be to collect student opinion on the curriculum offered by the college. The established Grievance Committee would be expanded to include public relations and the Program Coordination Commit-tee would help small organi-zations sponsor joint events. "
