Sherwood made the comment as he spoke to the TSC Young Republican Club and the Balti-more City Council of College Republicans on September 19. Addressing himself to the is-sues in the campaign, Sherwood said that ""everywhere you look in the city there is an area of major financial crisis and . . . there has not been one great in-crease in service in the city for twenty years.""

After president Bob Cullison called the meeting to order, a series of announcements were made. Among them was the introduction of Towson's four foreign students to the senators. Susan Miskelly then requested acceptance for the constitutions of Pi Mu Alpha Sinfonia, an honorary male music fraternity, the English Club, and Der Deutshe Verein, a German club. All three constitutions were unanimously accepted. Pat Rhode also announced that the dates of the Leadership Confer-ence are October 7 & 8. SGA treasurer, Jesse Barkley, then asked that Helen Pryor, Sue Mattingly, John Wood, and Jerry Grossblatt be accepted as members of the financial com-mittee.

Washington must understand the plight of local governments."" Sherwood said that t h e Federal government must help local government out of their financial crisis through Federal grants. Sherwood said that he favored Open Occupancy, Public Hous-ing, more money spent on educa-tion, and an increase in law en-forcement personnel. Concluding, he declared that the major is-sue in this election is ""funding the needs for the inner city."" Also present was Mrs. Kath-erine Black Massenburg, Repub-lican National Committeewoman, who discussed the problems of the Republican Party in Balti-more City, and how college Re-publican leaders could help the regular Republican Party.

Towson students interested in working in this or-ganization are asked to contact the Young Republican Club through Box 433. by PAULA DICKINSON ""Our philosophy will be ser-vice with a smiler These were the words of Mr. David Spicer, manager of the campus book-shop as he discussed the policies and facilities of the new store to be completed by the second semester. The proposed paperbacks sec-tion, which will feature a lounge-like atmosphere, will hold 2500 books. A trade textbook section will house 1000 titles. There will also be a wider variety of sup-plies and supplemental educa-tional aids. An Information Center wilt answer questions concerning the buying of used books, check cash-ing, refunds and returns. Books may be returned, Spicer continues, in any case that is not the student's fault, such as the department's cancelling a class. If a student drops a course for good reasons, he must ob-tain a note from his advisor before a return will be accepted. All returns must be made with-in the second week of class and must be accompanied by the re-ceipt. A full refund or credit towards another purchase will be given. Hopefully, there will be six check-out areas, to speed up ser-vice, three at the west end of the building and three at the north end. Supplies from the old book-store are due to be moved into the new one in one month. The only houdup has been fixtures and the floor tile. Store hours are from :30 to :30 Monday through Thursday, 8:30 to 4:30 on Friday, and from 9:00 to 12 noon on Satur-day. Spicer, former manager of the bookstore at the State Univer-sity of New York in Alfred, is also a graduate of State Uni-versity and a veteran of the Marine Corps. ""Towson State is a growing college,"" he asserts. ""With the combined efforts and determina-tion of the students and the bookstore personnel, we can have one of the finest college book-stores in the country."" Jungle Drums To Resound On Campus The unique sights and sounds of Arthur Hall's Afro-American Dance Ensemble will be emit-ted from Towson's Stephen's on October 3. Paul Case, Direcor of College Relations observed, ""It will be the first special event of the year, and a great way to kick things off!"" The program will include a dance of their New Year cele-bration, their dance of joy, and a dance showing the sweetness, wrath and mystery of love. In by KATHY STACK addition, there will be many other fascinating dances illus-trating the African way of life. By the request of Dr. Rich-ard Gillespie of the Speech and Drama Department, the Afro- American Dance Ensemble will make its first appearance at Towson. The Special Events Committee, chaired by Raymond Moore, planned the exhibition. Hall founded the group in 1958. He wished to bring the beauty of the African scene to America. The ensemble, which originated in Philadelphia, is composed of Hall's dancing stu-dents. They gained recognition when Hall was asked to assist in the Theatre of the Living Arts. Hall is dedicated to the task of spreading African culture to an uninitiated audience. He is educated in primitive and mod-ern dance, as well as ballet. Through his efforts and the tel ent of his associates, the group is constantly growing in popu-larity and demand. "
