Lowell S. Ensor became president of Western Mary- land College in 1947. The physical aspects of the college have drastically and rapidly changed to keep pace with the demands of a growing student body, but attitudes of both students and administration have changed more slowly. This year, the Student Life Council and the Committee on College Policy have brought the president into direct contact with student demands. Problems in establishing and operating the new cafeteria and the controversy reo suiting in the abolition of compulsory R.O.T.C. have taken up much of his time in the form of direct dialogue with students. Reserving Monday afternoons for student ap- pointments has resulted in more student-administration understanding and such improvements as weekend dining hall meal tickets and semester tickets for day students. Dr. Ensor is standing firm as president of the college, but is at the same time attempting to become more aware of the pulse of the student body.
