The program of this organization has both a reli- gious and social value. As a member of the Baltimore area LSA, the Towson group was active with Lutheran groups from other near- by colleges. This past February the Baltimore area acted as host to the entire eastern coast association of Lutheran students in Pennsylvania. ewman Club The Newman Club is composed of the Cath- olic students and faculty of State Teachers Col- lege. It is under the guidance of Father M. Schallenberg, Immaculate Conception Church, Towson, who provides spiritual and moral as- sistance to all members. Many of the activities this group carry on are in conjunction with the National Organization of Newman Clubs. The daily rosary, trips to local and neighboring city churches, and social and business meetings are important functions of this group. The in- itial use of the school chapel was a success that insures a new year full of both spiritual and social progress.

The chapter was founded with the purpose of furthering appreciation of the drama in all its aspects and is composed of those graduates and undergraduates whose interest in theatre is paramount. Mr. Richard G. Fallon is faculty adviser of the fraternity. Play writing contests, dramatic activities, and a closer association of the state's college drama clubs have been planned.

Student Centre Directory The main function of the Student Centre Directory is the effective operation of the new Student Centre. The newness of this organization has made it primarily a policy-forming board whose major accomplishment so far has been the establishment of a duty system which insures that the operation of the Centre rests almost entirely in the hands of the students.
