GOVERNOR'S DAY PROGRAM 493

A. It hasn't been discussed with me personally as yet. Whether they
have been in touch with Mr. O'Donnell about preliminary planning
with regard to this, I'm not certain, but I have had no one approach
me on it personally.

Q. Governor, have you taken sides in the potential Republican de-
cision of who should run for the Senate seat, Mathias or Morton?

A. No, I haven't taken any sides because I feel assured that this
matter will be resolved between the principal potential candidates
themselves in the very near future. I don't think there's any real doubt
in the public's mind that Mr. Morton or Mr. Mathias will become
the Senatorial candidate, and that seems to be the feeling throughout
the party. We expect that decision to be made between Mr. Morton
and Mr. Mathias, and we'll be delighted to support either one of
them.

Q. That answers my question. Aren't the thirty days about up?

A. Fairly close I would guess, and I think they're very close to mak-
ing a determination.

Q. You said you would introduce Mr. Mathias as the next Senator.
A. Yes, and I would introduce Mr. Morton in Salisbury the same way.

St. Mary's College. For while Maryland takes pride in both the
quantity and quality of its institutions of higher education, St. Mary's
College possesses a special place and prominence among the many.

It is said that any society's character and values are captured and
reflected through its institutions. Certainly, in its setting and its
growth, St. Mary's College reveals and expresses much of Maryland's
cherished past and promising future.

The physical location of the College itself demands recognition of
our great past and proud traditions. Every acre of the campus is
