A pretty 18-year-old high

life today when she failed to

Miss Weaver said she came

Maybe SO, and maybe not.
Settling dust after the
screeching halt called by the
Board of Education on progress
toward a second campus leaves
several questions pending for a
forthcoming reappraisal of the
college program.
Here are some that have been
raised:
Whether the college program
is too much diluted by technical
vocation training and what
might be considered adult edu-
cation courses.
Priority Question
Whether the county should
take the responsibility of pro-
viding extended education for
all high school graduates with
their varying degrees Of aca-
demic performance.
Whether this program is
being given the correct priority
in relation to the county's re-
sponsibility for educating chill
dren from kindergarten through
Grade IL. Il
At present, according to Dean
Donald Deyo, as per cent of
the colleges students are in the
transfer curriculums which look
toward continuation in a four
year college. and 81 per cent
are in terminal two-year pro-
grams. The rest are taking spe-
cial courses.
The policy for country resi-
dents generally has been to
maintain an open door" policy
for high school graduates, he
says.
But board member Everett H.
Woodward, one of the four
elected last November on an
economy platform and the one
who moved to have work
stopped on the $3.8 million col
lege at Rockville pending a re-
view. says the question has
come up:
Couldn't these doors be open
in different buildings?
The Allied Civic Group a year
go opposed expansion Of the
unior college and recommended
establishment of a high school
Of science and technology and
Use of existing high school ia
cilities after school hours for
ocational training.
The groups resolution re-
lected the view Of its educa-
ion committee that the junior
ollege curriculum should in
lude only college level courses.
The policy of offering higher
.ducation TO virtually all the
ounty's high school graduates
brings up the question Of the
quality Of collegiate experience
on the campus.
Montgomery is one Of the two
among Maryland's IL public
two-year colleges that is ac-
credited by the Middle States
Association OF Colleges and .
Secondary Schools, the regular
accrediting agency for this re-
gion.

sive, too unwielding and could
not pay for itself"
He will present his own plan
today to the subcommittee
of which he is a member. He
proposes a system of inspection
by private garages under State
police supervision, which is sim
liar to a plan in use in Virginia
and already introduced by
House Democratic Majority
Leader w. Dale Hess of Hart
ford County.
Twice a Year
1t differs in two important
respects from the Hess plan,
however. Mr.. Breslef would
have all autos inspected twice
a year while the Hess plan
calls for once a year, and he
would prohibit garages from
making repairs on autos they
inspect.
The General Assembly re-
ceived bills yesterday to in
crease the State beer tax.
The bills, offered in both the
Senate and the House, we're
promptly dubbed Hooker Rock
ers" after George Hooker, Mary
land beer lobbyist, who is a
close friend of Gov. Tawes.
The sponsors, two Senators
and three Delegates, asked that
the tax be increased from its
present 3 cents a gallon to
IA cents. The additional reve-
nues would finance raise for
State employees.
Maryland's beer tax is one Of
the lowest in the Nation. Past
attempts to raise it have re-
ceived a cold reception from the
Governors office.
From Slot Counties
Four of the five lawmakers
who sponsored the beer tax
bill are from slot machine coun-
ties, giving rise to considerable
speculation that more may be
at stake than a raise for State
employees. The fifth sponsor was
Delegate Edna Cook, Democrat
of Montgomery.
Gov. Tawes plans to have
legislation introduced to ban
slot machines. There was specu-
lation that the beer tax bill.
might provide good trading ma
terial for the slot machine coun-
ties which want to keep their
slots.
One of the slot-county spon-
sors, Senator John Thomas Par
ran, Democrat of Charles, de-
MED there was any intent to
use the beer bill for trading
purposes. The bill originally
was drafted by the Maryland
Classified Employees Association
which wants a bigger raise than
Gov. Tawes has recommended
for State employees.
