Pullen, Elkins Back
Teacher College Plan

The president of the University
of Maryland and the state superin
tendent of schools have voiced sup
port of a compromise plan on the
administration of the state teach
ers colleges.
The Commission for the EXpan
sion of Public Higher Education in
Maryland issued a report last
Thursday calling for the creation
of a nine-member board of trustees
to run the five teacher colleges and
Morgan State college.
Il voted for the proposal without
reservation, and | intend to sup
port it without change" said DR.
Thomas G. Pullen, Jr., state super
: intendent
DR.. Wilson H. Elkins, university
president, said the proposal was
"a move in the right direction and
it should bring about great inn
provement in higher education"
Pullen and Elkins we're on OPP
posite sides during bitter dispute
two years ago. An earlier report
by the Warfield commission recon-
mended that three University of
Maryland branches be established
around the state and that the uni
versity absorb the teachers col
leges at TOwson, Salisbury and
Frostburg.
After defeat of that plan Gov.
Tawes appointed the new commits
sion with Pullen and Elkins as
members.
The proposed State College
Board of Trustees would consist
of eight lay members not engaged
in professional education-to be
appointed by the governor for
overlapping nine-year terms. The
ninth member would be the state
superintendent of schools, who
would serve in an eX-officio capa-
city.
The lay members would include
one member of the State Board of
Education and one member of the
board of trustees at Morgan State,
which now is administered by a
separate board.
Two members of the Curlctt
Commission wrote dissenting re-
port DR.. Martin D. Jenkins, presi-
dent of Morgan State, and John H.
Murphy III, contended Morgan
State and each of the teachers col
leges should have separate boards
of trustees. Failing that, they sug-
gested Morgan State should retain
its own board.
A spokesman for TaWeS said the
governor was pleased with the
study but he reserved judgment on
the recommendations until he had
time to evaluate them.

Is Christmas Fun

A fun-maker at Christmas

question:: "What color is the

plant2" Chances are, the an
swer will be, "Red, of course. !"
Actually, the red blossoms"
o. the poinsettia are not the
flower of the plant = they are
leaves. The real blossoms are
the tiny yellow flowers in the
center of the red clusters.
A comparative newcomer to
the traditional Yule greenery,
the tropical poinsettia was dis
covered in Mexico in 1928, by
DR.. Joel Robert Poinsett, first
U. S. minister to Mexico, He
aroused interest In its beauty,
and the plant is named for him.

Yule Is Time For Customs

AS the world grows smaller,
Christmas observances in diff
ferent countries grow more
similar. Santa Claus in red suit
and white beard drives his re-
indeer-drawn sleigh to North,
Central and South America and
to many other countries as
well.
In fact, when the first ex-
plorer lands on Mars, he
shouldn't be too surprised to
discover that Santa, and even
Rudolph, got there first.
Sharing of Christmas GUS
toms, however, only serves to
point up the fact that this is
a holiday for everyone, and a
holiday which draws ideas from
all lands and times, uniting them
in both religious and secular
observances of the season.
