THE TOWER LIGHT That for the year 1932-33, the total cost per Towson Normal School student, making no allowance for the service rendered the 270 pupils in the elementary school, was 5368.00 for each day student and 3786.00 for each resident student? The average payment for a day student was 521, the average for a resident student 5194. The state met the difference. Since then the tuition has been raised to S100 for each student, and a boarding student pays S216 in addition. O 9.0 Hits and Bits The Ursinus Weekly, publication of Ursinus College, announces the shattering of a new record. The radio was listened to for one full hour Without the familiar phrase, We're Not Afraid of the Big, Bad Wolf, being heard. A system of adult education by radio by means of listening centers in the Kentucky mountains has been inaugurated by the University of Kentucky. The Crimson White tells us of a certain professor at Wisconsin State College who recommends the old institution of cramming, because it represents concentration of the highest order. He further asserts that modern psychologists believe knowledge gained more rapidly will be re- tained longer. The Morrow Dormitory at Amherst has been presented a library of 3,000 voltunes by Mrs. Dwight Morrow, wife of the late ambassador and trustee of the Union Theological Seminary. This will be the third dormitory library at Amherst. Forty of the 70 candidates Who reported for the football squad at Notre Dame in 1933 had been captains of their respective prep school teams. Fraternity houses at Rutgers University employ 140 students, Whose combined yearly earnings are S26,300. Most of these men work at wash- ing dishes and waiting on tables. According to a professor at Waslungton University, students who aim for A grades are barren of personality. Those who get C are the ones who move the World. BACK TO THE PRIMITIVE Hamilton College, also, produces miracle plays. As a part of the Christmas celebration last year, they acted out three plays from the old Chester cycle, which was written down in 1600. The originals were presented by the guilds of the painters, glaziers, and vintners. SARA LEVIN, 34. 21

THE Towea LIGHT School News oUR correspondent, who is by no means a Freshman, has some sentiments concerning our beginning. We have started over again. With the Freshmen has come an opportunity to make new impres- sions, to do things we wish we had done last year. The vacation was very pleasant, but who among us will say he is sorry school with its renewed opportunities has started? The Freshmen seem to be a promising lot. The girls are beautiful, the boys, handsome, and both seem to be adjusting very well. Despite the good job done by the Big Brothers and Sisters, there are many of the more intimate places on the campus to which the Freshmen have not been introduced. May we suggest the tower, the power house, the laundry, the kitchen, and the Campus Elementary School? QNot to mention parts of the glen.j V Some faces are gone. Some have graduated. Some have married. Some have decided they will be happier elsewhere. We miss them all, even if it is selfish of us. Do you know: That it is a good thing every issue of THE TOWER LIGHT is not a Hrst issue? Your correspondent would be tempted to resort to verse and one Herman Bainder of the poetry department might object. That being a Freshman has its advantages? 'Tm sorry, Miss Sperry, I did not know that, is a very handy sentence to be able to say with conviction. That one of the Senior men has had his nose renovated? He expects big things of it. Who is this Apollo by the art of the scalpel? Ask Teddy Woronka. i That a term of student teaching makes a great difference in people? Observe the chastened aspect of the Seniors. f What! Even Senior III? Well, hardly chastened, but they ain't what they used to be. j That the Elementary School children have devised a shield for their school? It is worth walking over to their vestibule to see. That conditions have been so good the Student Council has been put to the necessity of thinking up work, which is good news! Few people have been hurt by thinking. That the old elementary assembly room fRoom 24 to youj has been equipped with a stage and a radio? When will some soul be brave enough to use these fine facilities? That the Men's Room has been garnished with greens? We have heard words of approval. We hope the plants live. 20
