Schools involved In q report
dealing with its accreditaGion
status, it was disclosed. today by
Judge william p. Cole, jr.. chair.
man Of the Board Of Regents.
Not until now was 1t public
knowledge that the Middle States
Association of Colleges and Sec
ondary Schools had failed to
renew accreditation for the
entire university.
Judge Cole said, however, that
he is mot the slightest bit cor-
cerned" about the situation be-
cause he feels certain that .'the
university and its Medical School
will be fully accredited before
very long"
Judge Cole made his comment
to The Star in connection with
an official report made last
spring by the Accrediting Com
mittee of the Middle States AS
sociation.
The report, said to be critical
of the school. has blossomed into
a sizzling campaign issue for
Democrat H. c. Byrd. former
university president, and his op-
ponent. Republican Gov. Nc
Keldin.
Got Report in Spring.
The regents received the
report late last spring but de.
cided not to make it public
presumably because they feared
it might prove embarrassing tc
DR.. Byrd. He resigned as the
university's longtime president
last January 2 to run for Gov
ernor.
Parts of the report have leaked
out in the last few days. how
ever, after Arthur w. Sherwood
Republican candidate for Con-
gress in the 4th Maryland dis
trict, charged that the univer-
sity,s medical school is "on
probation" IL
Subsequent exchanges between
DR.. Byrd and Gov. McKeldin
have dealt only with the ques-
ton of whether or not the med
ical school in Baltimore is fully
accredited.
Regents te Meet.
Judge Cole, who said he Il
calling an emergency meeting
of the regents before the end OF
this week, explained that the
Accrediting Committee examined
the university last fall and made
it's report late last spring.
1.-THE report was left open.
Judge Cole added. TO give Us q
chance to comply. with certain
recommendations such as a new
library at College Park ans
higher medical faculty salaries.s
1.-THE committee couldn't come
out and condemn a great univer.
sity for such reasons" he said
"It merely called them TO oul
attention and left its report
open.
'eWs all realize that some 90
these improvements should bt
made before the committee re-
turns to re-examine the univer'
sity."
Still Accredited.
He explained that the associa'
tion's accrediting committees d.
not make their inspections OF
any regular schedule.
He emphasized that the Uni
versity of Maryland previousl,
has been accredited by the Mid
die States association "and stil

been rescinded-it merely ha
not been renewed temporarily

drawer bottoms

The beginning home handyman
too often feels he should buy nu-
merous tools and much material.
Doing so often is frustrating, so
the experts advise him to "take it
easy," buying just essential tools
and materials and learning their
use and application in simple
projects.
Lumber dealers are good sources
of tools needed in the home work
shop, and they can advise the be-
ginner which ones he should obtain
first. They can tell him also about
basic materials to have on hand.
Among these is Masonite Tenn
pered Presdwood, an all-around
panel that wears like iron, is free
of splinters, knots and grain, and
is low in cost.
Getting back to the fable, the
handyman needn't buy even a a
by 8-foot panel for his beginners
project, for his dealer usually has
short lengths available, and their
price usually is bargain. Gain
ing confidence in the use of a few
fundamental hand or power tools,
the home craftsman can make a
success of his initial undertakings
and then branch out to build an
understands project, line the old
coal bin, and build some basement
or kitchen cabinets.
He'll do we'll to break just sim
gle faggot at a time.
