STATE COLLEGE NEWS, FRID/

MAY 4, 1945

Cy Joan Hylind ———

“The ideas on which democracy
is based were being undermined in
the democracies long before they
were tprooted in the totalitarian
countries.” _

At ‘first glance, the proposed
council to further relations among
aces, cultures and religions seems
to be the very essence of a working
democracy. Closer examination,
however, brings out implications
that are fraught with danger—not
only for democracy, but for the very
cause which the council seeks to
champion.

To get down to a common denom-
inator—there is a very small per-
centage, if any, of the students at
State College who are opposed to
the basic ideal of such a group,
The fallacy of preaching interna-
tional equality and brotherhood
when some races and religions
within our own borders are not
treated as equals, has long been
recognized as a weakness of our
democracy, Clearly, too, something
must be done to correct the contra-
diction before it becomes too much
of a talking point for enemy pro-
paganda along racial lines,

State College is more free from
prejudice than most other colleges
in the country. An attempt to root
out all prejudice would disclose the
fact that most of what exists, either,
arises from personality differences
rather than from any deep-seated
prejudice; or, is an attempt to ra-
tionalize his own failings on the
part of the supposedly persecuted
individual. In bringing out these
reported prejudices, however, the
situation will have been exaggerated
and enlarged upon to prove a point.
Actually more feeling will be gen-
erated than exists already,

Pressure, legislation, and propa-
ganda can, in a short time, produce
the outward signs of tolerance.
Education is the only method by
which complete and lasting under-
standing is attainable, But, this
education must be slow and subtle.
Trying to force an idea upon peo-
ple, allowing no other course of
action than the one mapped out
by a central committee is a guar-
anteed method of arousing anta-
gonism for a. idea—among intelli-
gent, thinking people. Looking
back over assembly and club activ-
itles of the past few years, It be-
comes obvious that the program of
education has been going on —
without benefit of label or steering
committee. SCA, Newman Club
and Hillel have sporsored such
speakers as Lester Granger, Father
Fisher, Julius Thomas, Rabbi Gold-
berg, Students have worked with
the Booker T. Washington center.
Forum has conducted discussions
and debates on racial and cultural
topics. D&A and Music Council
have brought to the college people
of other cultures, There is no mon-
opoly on tolerance, All this comes
about naturally, Equality is the
coming trend in Social thought—Iit
4s what students are interested in
and it is what thelr leaders must
supply in order to remain leaders.

Organizations are already func-
tioning in the college to do the
things which the inter-group coun-
cil proposes to do—Student Council,
Debate, Forum, the religious clubs,
etc. By thelr very name and pur-
pose the Council assumes a higher
authority than the established
groups whose activities they seek to
coordinate. It would seem that for
such a council to operate, it would
need the permission of the organ-
izations it plans to advise, As for
the power of the sub-committee on
student-administration relations, it’s
only fair-play that some member of
the administration be included.
After all, if one reasons logically, it
follows that it 1s just as undemo-
cratic for students to dominate the
administration as it Is for the ad-
ministration to dominate the stu-
dents,

Anything new has the tendency
to be carried away by its own en-
thusiasm and momentum. Maybe
that ls why an organization which
seeks to perfect democracy has
chosen undemocratic means to ac-
hieve Its purpose, The group could
allay many fears of the students by

WAA Announces
All-State Star Team

Selection Of Squad Ends
Successful Basketball Season

The ‘regular basketball season is
over for another -year and time for
the annual selection of a mythical
All-star team. The WAA basketball
league had an ‘active season this
winter and the choice of a repre-
sentative team was difficult, Mary
Now, president of WAA announces
the following players:

Forwards;

Mary Seymour
Eileen Shoup
Gloria Russo

Sub; Mary Quinn

Guards;

Edna Sweeney
Georgette Dunn
Jayne Cheney

Sub: Wilma Diehl

Seymour, the Phi Delt bolt of
lightning, especially in the BZ, was
a unanimous selection. Shoupie,
KD’'s passing and shooting ace, kept
opposing players guessing her every
performance, No one questioned
the all-round ability of Newman's
star, Gloria Russo, Her shooting
and floorwork are beyond compare.
Quinn, during her first year on the
Gamma Kap squad, diibbled and
moved around with the ease and
skill of a player very much at home
on the WAA court,

Edna Sweeney, Psi Gam's bomb-
shell, and unanimous choice as best
guard, incurred the admiration of
players and spectators alike for her
smooth perfromance, BZ's repre-
sentative, Dunn, deserves praise not
only for her superb playing, but also
for her fine sense of sportsmanship.
Cheney was’ Gamma Kap's “fight-
inest” player this season, intercept-
ing passes, taking the ball off the
backboard, spurring the team to
league leadership, Wilma Diehl,
frosh star and all-round good sport
rounds out the selection of a power-
ful squad.

As is well known to all spectators
of WAA basketball this year, these
girls gave excellent performances
and each was a spark-plug for her
teammates, The line-up picked this
year could easily hold its own with
any team seen in these parts,

Softball Progressing;
Seniors To Form Team

Once again softball senson has
started with an enthusiastic and
somewhat damp beginning, The
rain has put a damper on softball
activities, but not on the spirit of
the players,

Monday Wednesday and Friday
practices have been well attended
according to Shoup and Baker sport
captains, There is, however, one
flaw in the picture of vim, vitality
and enthusiasm—the decided lack
of Juniors and Seniors. In fact, to
date, there has been 2 Juniors and
no Seniors at all, Since the Seniors
are scheduled to play '48 next week
they must form a team. Those in-
terested please contact Bostwick,

Some of the freshmen look like
veterans in the field, Either Young
or Boyington on first look as good
as some of the old timers, Diehl,
Diffen, Magginis, Valentine, Dailey,
Tilden and Archido are all excellent
in thelr respective positions,

Of course, the Sophs are living
up to thelr athletic reputation,
Margo, Baker, Wakin, and Swee-
ney of last years fame are still on
the ball, Newcomers Nielsen, Ray-
mond, Lucsok and O'Grady are
powerful hitters and have been

ing out regularly,

ig off its aspects of a secret
society and by broadening its pro-
visions for membership, , From a
practical standpoint, even, the pres-
ent committee and sub-committee
set-up appears inadequate to han-
dle the endless ramifications in the
flelds of labor, economics, social
welfare, etc, that will arise in such
work,

Above all, should the student
body be asked to support a self-
Appointed council, when there are
existing organizations seeking the
same ends that are representative
of the students?

Sophs Surprise in Swim

Thrills, Suspense
During Contest

The Sophomores chalked up an-
other athletic triumph Wednesday
evening as they won thre> out of
five races at the Public Bath and
copped two rivalry points alloted to
the swim meet. The final result
came as a surprise to meny who
favored '48 to win.

Frosh Win Relay

The frosh exhibited their strength
in the flirst race, a speed relay
matching Pat Tilden and Suo
O'Connell against Connie Lessl2r
and Janet Inglehart. The whistle
blew, the meet was on, and Tilden
was off to a good start. She led
Lessler down the pool and on the
return trip, O'Connell kept the
frosh lead, finishing a length ahead
of Inglehart. The freshmen team
really looked promising.

Most Exciting Race

Confidently, 48 prepared for the
second race which was another re-
lay involving the transportetion of
a lighted candle, Victory depended
upon a fast side stroke and excellent
kick control to avoid splashing the
candle. Jane Mills and Bar!
Harris started off in the most e3
citing race of the evening. As Mills
gradually increased her lead the
Sophomores hopes rose; but their
hearts stopped, when in transfer-
ring the cendle to Inglehart, the
flame went out. While it was being
relightect Harris came in and Fiedler
started down the last lap for the
frosh, Her candle lit, Inglehart
resumed the race and excitement
rose as che overtook her opponent
at the halfway mark, They were
even for a few seconds, and then
in a burst of speed, Inglehart drew
away and won the race by inches,

A Lost Shoe

The third race
and Barbara Ha
clothes for the plunge. The firs!
one to swim to the other side, shed
their outer clothing, toss it up on
the tile and return, would be
awarded the race, Harris got off te a
better start, while Davidson seemed
to be having a little difficulty.
However, in her haste, Harris lost
one of her shoes and while she was
still trying to retrieve it, Davidson
returned to the starting point and
won the second race for the Sopho
mores,

Sophs Win Third

To swim the length of the pool
reading the State College NEWS
was the next obstacle race, and the
Sophs matched Inglehart against
Ruth Osborne, Inglehart's steady
up and down kick proved stronger
than Osborne's scissors and she won
by a wide margin.

Frosh Show Speed

The Sophomores had won the re-
quired three but it was decided to
run off the fifth race anyway,
O'Connell, Osborne and Tilden
swam for the frosh, and Lessler,
Mills and Davidson for the Sophs,
The race was for one length and
would be credited to the first team
to be completed on the other end.
Here again the frosh displayed their
superiority in free style speed.
O'Connell, Osborne, and Tilden
placed first, second and third, giving
the race to the freshmen,

Softball, Field Stunts Left

The swim meet completed, only
softball and fileld stunts remain on
the rivalry sports calendar and
these total ten points. The stunts
are scheduled for May 10, and notice
of the softball game will be posted
on the class bulletin boards,

Merrily We Ride Along

In the spring, the thoughts of
some turn to horse-back riding. So
far about 13 girls have recelved
enough bruises to obtain credit in
riding.

Experienced riders are allowed to
go as they please, beginners are un-
der the care of Andy, who knows
his Job and has his students riding
to musie and doing formations,
Some People

And, of course, there are the
over -enthusiastics, like acrobatic
Thomas who did a double fllp over
her horse's head,

But riding 1s a great sport. Cap-
tains Clough and Koehn invite all
interested or prospective people to
come out Saturday mornings and
join them in a brisk ride,

Students Respond
Wholeheartedly
To MAA Plea

The general subscription for op-
erating funds in the man-power
drive was a great success, When the
take had been tabulated, the col-
lectors found that State had shelled-
out to the tune of $51.00, This repre-
sents roughly a nickel from each
person in the student body, but to
those who contributed $4.50 in quart-
ers a special commendation is con-
veyed, Thanks, however, goes to all
those who chipped-in, no matter how
small the offering. If the spirit
shown in this initial effort is kept
up, there is no reason to fear that
there will be poor support for the
team,

Letters Sent

The first item bought by the fund
was $20.00 worth of stamped enve-
lopes. With these the fellows sent
out the plea to alumni all over the
state. This letter outlined what is
being planned in the way of ath-
letics, the advantages offered by
State, and what was expected of
them. This method will bring the
campaign even closer to prospective
freshmen. It will also reawaken the
grads interest in the doings of their
Alma Mater,

To follow up the letter to the
alumni each man who already has
applied will receive a personal let-
ter from one of the men in State.
As more names are received, more
letters will be sent. It is hoped that
the personal approach will draw
even more students from towns al-
ready contributing. To augment
the mailing list now in the hands
of the men it would be appreciated
if each student in the college would
turn in names of athletes that they
personally know,

The final plea is that the student
body will do vigorous recruiting on
its own over the summer vacation.

New York Teams

League Favorites

Last year we went way out on a
limb to predict the outcome of the
major league baseball, Not only did
we forecast the winner, but we even
went so far as to list the teams in
the numerical order in which we
expected them to finish.

The American league really played
us dirt, Detroit, whom we had fu
in fifth position ended up on top
of the league. New York, our boys,
finished up in third place. The
Boston team which we had delegat-
ed to the cellar put forth a spirited
drive which landed them right ur
with the Big 4.

The National league was a little
more responsive to our suggestions,
Right there on top at the end of
the season just as we had predicted,
were the St. Louis Cardinals,

But, practice makes perfect, they
say, so rather than being overcome
by our failure last year, we go out
again on our limb, This time we
take the New York club in each
league. The Yankees have the most
patent pitching staff and still have
some of thelr old power left. The
Giants seem to have the strongest
team in the National,

So far our boys have been doing
fine, The Giants took their tourth
straight Wednesday while the Yan-
kees, the same day, took the
measure of the Athletics,

Siena Nips State
In Close Game

Woodwoith's Loss; 11-10
Brophy's Batting Stars

Bouncing back from their twin
shellacking two weeks before, Siena
nosed out a fighting State College
team 11-10 last Sunday afternoon.
The scene of the game was changed
from the seclusion of the Dorm Field
to the wind-swept heights of Bever-
wyck Park, It must have been the
wide open spaces that upset the con-
trol of the usually steady Frank
Woodworth. Whatever it was, his
pin-point hurling, which had held
Siena to two runs the last time out,
deserted him, and as a result he
was hit freely. He wasn’t wild to
the extent that the Siena boys were
presented with a flock of walks, it
just meant that he had to throw fast
pitches to get the ball over the plate.
Siena Opens Scoring

Siena was off to a flying start in
the very first inning. The combina-
tion of a walk, two errors and two
hits was good enough for three runs.
They made it 4-0 in the second in:
ing when Jones was safe on an error,
stole second, and scored on Gold-
blatt’s long single to right.

State narrowed the margin in
their half of the second. Woodworth
walked, went to third on a wild
pitch, and scored on Keen's hit.

Siena made it 6-1 in the third
when they scored twice on four solid
hits. State came back for one in the
third, but they soared into the lead
in the Afth, Uhan the emake had
cleared from the barrage of base hits
five State runs had dented the rub-
ber and State was leading 7-6. The
big blow of the inning was when
Brophy drove one of Fidelle’s fast,
balls into Partridge Street for a
home run. No one was on base when
dim delivered his hit.

State's lead lasted until the sixth
frame when two more Siena runs
were scored. They added another
brace in the ninth to give them an
imposing 10-7 lead. State made its
last bid in the bottom half of the
ninth when it tied up the score with
three runs. Brophy again provided
the punch with a two run. single.

Siena won the game in the top
half of the tenth stanza. A walk
and two hits provided them with the
necessary margin of victory. State
went down in order in the last half
of the tenth and also went down to
their initial defeat of the year.

Of the Cuff

State again showed its most glar-
ing deflect—sloppy fielding. The boys
are hitting well, but when they get.
out on the field they seem to lose
a lot of their polish, A little more
practice would make a formidable
team out of them, Siena looked bet-
ter than before, hitting when it
counted and taking advantage of
every break. The next game, when it
comes, promises to be good.

Our boys have it in them but per-
haps a little more encouragement
from the female population at State
would spur them on to future tri-
umphs. Certainly a larger turn-out
especially at the home games would
help the team considerably.

Tapping Tomorrow

It happens every year. Comes May
and State blossoms out with a new
Myskania. or the freshmen, Sophs,
ana Seniors, the preceding month
is a time tor voicing predictions
ana prejudices; for the Juniors it
is a silent period to be broken only
by an oveasional click of the “bited”
nail and a now-and-then release of
the bated breath,

‘this year, tapping of the new
Myskania will remind us of the
changes that have taken place in
the past year. Perhaps the great-
est change is the abandoning of the
caps and gowns except on special
cecasions, However, there is one
thing that wall never change as long
us Myskania exists—the group of
Juniors that are tapped.

‘here is always a beauty, brains,
brawn combination Now; a bomb-
shel Cooper and a pair of capable
presidents—Garfall and Smith, The

around to boost inter-faith rela-
tions, Then, on the literary side,
there's always a versatile Marsh, a
smiling Gerg, and a “where did you
get those dimples, Dot" Meyers.

The class of '45 has had a record-
breaking Myskania. For the first
time in its history, Myskania was
composed of all women—one dozen

ies. They've performed under

power and duties, but it

jampened thelr spirit, We

all remember the dungarec-and-

sweat-shirt-clad twelve selling
chances on a bond,

Tomorrow, they'll march from the
stage in the traditional way to tap
the thirtieth Myskania, How many?
Between eight and thirteen, Pop-
wlar opinion holds that there will be
thirteen this year, It 1s always a
new and wonderful experience for
the freshmen, but the upperclass-
men are usually more interested in
who will make up the new “select
few."

Every year, the decision is ques-
tioned and this year will not be an
exception, Moving-Up Day Is a day
for the bitter and the joyful, never
for the indifferent. The balcony
will be jammed with mothers, all
with the same question, “Will my son
or daughter... ?

There is another question which
no one thinks of, “Do these people
correspond with the usual leaders
with ‘thelr beauty, etc?" O well,
there must be one dimple in the
Junior class!

Nazi Downfall
Heartens World

Like the rest of the world, State
students wept, prayed and cele-
brated when Nazi Germany uncon-
ditional surrender was announced
to all the Allies in all the fronts
May 7, 1945. Official “Victory in
Europe Day” waited only for con-
firmation at 9 A.M., May 8, as the
Big Three leaders’ simultaneously
spoke to their people. The procla-
mations declared history's most tra-
gic conflict at a victorious end,

News of Surrender

In the little red schoolhouse some-
where in France, the headquarters
of General Eisenhower, the German
\Gommander Foertch surrendered
unconditionally to the Allies at 2:41
AM. French time and 8:49 P.M.
EWT. General Eisenhower's Chief
of Staff Lt. General Smith signed
the surrender with the French and
Russians. “Fighting Ike” Hisenhow-
er, who was not present at the sign-
ing, later asked the German gener-
als who were brought before him
if they understood the terms of
unconditional surrender. The ene-
my’'s answer was, “Yes.” So the na-
tiow, that str ted the purge of
blitzes, V-bombs and U-boat war-
fare when they attacked Poland and
caused world disorder for five years,
eight months and six days, has
gone down to defeat.

America greeted the uncondi-
tional surrender with a variety
of emotions sweeping from coast
to coast. New York city's reaction
was a cascade of waste paper from
buildings while people sang and
shouted in the streets and publicly
prayed,

Upstate New York welcomed the
news with civie celebrations and
prayers of Thanksgiving.

State's First Reaction

State students, at first uncertain,
walked about in a state of oxpect-
any or overflowed the News Office
listening to the latest news flashes
to confirm the rumors, Nows came
from all sources and truth came to
the fore, Military victory in Europe
was certain, The V-E Day Service,
aranged by Myskania, was held at
9 A.M. on May 8 as the only official
celebration, Classes continued and
the Colloge remained in session,

The United Nations conference,
accepting Germany's — surrender
with calm rejoicing, continued bus-
iness conferences as usual in this
momentous time of Nazi surrender,
but on the lips of every delegate was
the happy word that “now it's over
in Europe.”

—______ By MICHAEL.

+ At curtain-time last Tuesday
evening, the audience at the: Pro-
duction Olass plays were under the
rather insecure spell of apprehen-
sion and doubt. Rumors had been

- tloated during the previous week on

winds breathing rather indelicately
of turkey and onions. The actual
performance of the three one-act
plays, however, proved that rumors
are only rumors. From any seat in
ie house, they are a delightful af-
fair,

The first offering was directed by
Shirley Gross, ’47, and was a tri-
angle drama concerning an emin-
ent surgeon, his wife, and a pa-
tient-friend, portrayed, in order, by
Joseph Palavsky, 46, Mary Carey,
‘al, and Roger Nielson, ’48. As far
as the indlv.dual work goes, Palev-
sky turned in the best piece of act-
ing, warming up after an unsteady
beginning, His voice and gestures
seemed to mature with the pace
of the play, and I think character
parts will become him in forthcom-
ing product:ons. Nielson also shows
prom‘se, although he was a bit un-
sure of himself in this, his first
dramatic attempt. Carey was at
her best in the telegram scene, and
seems to indicate that more work
Nes ahead, with a bit more polish,
although ,she may be limited in
range.

Jule Boxer, '47, directed the sec-
ond play. another heavy, set in a
farmhouse kitchen and centered
about a mother-daughter conflict,
Grace Jones, '48, as the mother,
stood above the other members of
the cast in a nicely restrained char-
acterization. Betty Cavanaugh, "48,
as the daughter in question, also

¥ :
fias a road aliead of her in college
theatricals as soon as she loosens
ler gestures and becomes easier on
the stage. The only unfortunate
thiny about the play was the play
itself. It is an extremely wordy
bit, and out of date, both being dif-
ficult to rise above; the cast did
well considering these obstacles,

The extreme pleasure of the critic
lies, however, in the last perform-
ance of the evening, a comedy
drama directed by Marianne Davis,
’48. It was with the lovely feeling
of relaxation that the entire audi-
ence, I am sure, allowed itself to
be swept under a haze of theatre.
To Mary Ellen Diener, ‘47, and
Gloria Jaffer, ‘48, go the acting
laurels of this season at State.
Diener, for her amazing gift of be-
ing able to betome a decorative
part of a chair, with no effort at
dil; if she dived into one, it would
still be with an easy, graceful mo-
tion. Jaffer, because of her inex-
plicable voice and inflection, and
her facial mobility. Add to these
their beautiful sense of comedy
timing, and you have actresses. Too
many superlatives? Ah, they're so
enjoyable.

I’m looking forward to the next
season of the College Playhouse.
There has come to State this year
& gocd lot of theatre material that
AEF, and the Playhouse produc-
tion classes can mold. Last Tues-
day night was the beginning of
something that promises to have no
end, in acting and directing,

But, after all, as the Great Lady
said not so long ago, “You were my
chicks.”

War

FGronts

By SHIRLEY SIEGEL PASSOW

‘This is the legacy of Adolph Hit-
ler:

A war which exhausted all the
superlatives in the vocabulary of
horror,

A war in which more than 40,-
000,000 people were killed.

A war which left no corner of
peace in this agonized globe.

Twelve years which transformed
the German nation into worshipp
of cruelty, bestiality, greed and ir-
resistible conquest.

Twelve years in which knowledge
and humanity were debased and ob-
literated,

Twelve years in which the doc-
trine of racial superiority poured
thru the life blood of a people, nul-
lfying the small wisdom men have
gained in their attempts at living
with other men.

An era which began with the eco-
nomic restrictions and gradual des-
truction of Europe's Jews—

And ended in Buchenwald, Maid-
enek, Dachau and Belsen, whose fur-
naces, gas chambers, 1
made no distinction between Jews,
Poles, Americans, French, Russians,
English or Germans.

An era in which, as Roosevelt
taught the Americans, this world
could not survive half-slave and
half-free.

When Adolph Hiter
vice-chancellor of Ge

was elected

of war had Germany in its griy
When Hitler was reported de:
May 1, 1945, he left a smashed fran-
kenstein, a nation of Nazis help-
less under the pummeling of the
Allied war machine, devoid of every
emotion but one: revenge

The words of German
Minister von Krosigk ar
as the goose-step.

“After almost six years’ struggl
we have succumbed

“Our sympathy firstly goes out to
our soldiers

“We must not despair. From th
collapse in the past we must keep
in mind one thing: the idea of our
unity, the idea of front comrade-
ship, the idea of assistance to e
other,’

There is not one hint of compunc-
tion in the German surrender. Not
one group has emerged as responsi-
ble leaders of a native, anti-Nazi

Foreign
as rigid

movement. We are being forced,
says Willi Frischauer in the New
York Times, to use “experienced
Nazi administrators and experts”
because not “enough confirmed an-
ti-Nazis" can be found “to carry
out their orders, to deal with the
mass of German people, to under-
take vital repairs to sewers and
power plants and to organize food
distribution, sort out the popula-
tion and regulate traffic.”

This is part of Hitler's legacy
to a world that has much to do to
kill the Nazi legend, the memory
of the Nazi blood-bath. The anti-
Nazis are non-existent, bodies or
minds crushed. Not until we take
up our task of governing Germany
will the full implications of this hit
the world.

The neat plan of the Allied Con-
trol Commission, of cou is to
divide Germany into four zones of
occupation, to be controlled by the
Big Three and France. And then
what? With whom are we to ¢ ?
Can the Russians, British, French
and Americans reach uniformit

ir governing policy? Gene:
principles of gi
evolved by the European Advisor)
Commission in London, but these
are merely guide lines for the in-
dividual arms of the occupation au-
thorities. What use will Russ

ke of the Union of German Of-
and the Committee of Free
Germany? These groups include
soldiers, clergymen, propagandists,
technicians, trade unionists and ad-
ministrators who have been nur-
tured and re-edueated over a period
of many months by the Soviets
Many of them have already been
put to work in Russian-dominated
sections, AMG, by way of sad con-
trast, is even now scurrying to get
adequate personnel to staff its of-
fices in Germany. Untrained men
are being hastily placed in positions

f high authority, minus even the
AMG training the states provide

The toughest job of co-ordination
that the Big Three have faced lies
in Germany, With the fatal alter-
native of war removed for the mo-
ment, the Allies must find the way

That “must” is the
foundation of the international se-
curity organization being built’ by
so Many meri present at and absent
from San Francis

At the end of a'full year of editing a‘news-
paper and trying to keep up your marks on
the side, one is apt to feel somewhat relieved
to know that there will be no more deadlines
to meet, no more hasty trips to printer when
the copy becomes lost, and no more worry
about either too much news or not enough.
Cyriously enough, however, the feeling of
relief is somewhat overshadowed by a sense
of nostalgia, for printer’s ink, headlines, and
copy paper are not easily erased from one’s
mua They move, instead, it seems to the

eart.

A year of a college newspaper must needs
record once more the same things which have
filled the columns many times in preceding
years. Campus Day, Activities Day, elec-
tions, Moving-Up Day are landmarks in the
college year, and as such find space in the
college newspaper. There are other things
however, which make up a college, namely
students and the spirit with which those stu-
dents respond to a college program. It is the
duty of the newspaper to record these in the
same manner in which it records the already
established events, Only in this way can it
completely serve the student body.

This has been our aim this year. We have
tried to present the week at State College in
four pages every Friday. For us, it was more
than a first and second story for the front
page and a box for third. It was a panorama
of college life for the week. Twenty-eight
issues togther make up the college year of
1944-45. If you feel that we have presented
college life and spirit to you adequately, we
have succeeded, if not, we have failed,

Next week, a new News Board will assume
the responsibility of the paper for another
year. There may be a new masthead, but the
policy of the News remains the same. A stu-
dent conceived and organized newspaper, it
remains solely a student organ. The person
who tries out for the News learns this as
thoroughly as he learns how to write stories
and headlini We never forget it, and it is
your duty not to let us.

Voice OF The People

To the Editor:

The intensity of the argument in embly
concerning the Inter-Group council certain)
indicates that the student body is on i
toes. On the other hand the very existenc
of this Couneil is evidence that our leader
aren't asleep at the switch, either.

I feel that this group is representative of
the student association, inasmuch as the
members are those of us who have already
proved themselves in the other organ ions
and offices of the college, Furthermore,
membership is open to every interested stu-
dent.

For the benefit of those who complain of
the “secret beginning” of the Committee,
may I point that the group followed the ad-
vice of the President of our é
tion in preparation for pre
the students, that they came before an open
meeting of Student Couneil, and that the
News of April 18th printed an editorial on
this “idea which was becoming a reality

It seems foolish to eriticize a “self-appoint-
ed” council—State College should be proud
of members who are thoughtful enough to
see a need and who have the initiative to do
somethit yout it, And it is a need: not
just eliminating prejudice among ourselves,
because State is more free from intolerance
than most colleges in the United States, but
to enable us to treat our future students with
understanding—students who are just be-

inning to be aware of differences in na
tionalities, faiths and cultures. The inclusion
in the curriculum of the contributions of
other peoples in history, science, music, art
and languages will bring about a great ap
preciation of the rich and varied cultures of
the world through aetual acquaintiunee with
them. If we ourselves have this background
we will have something definite to offer

To date, there have been pre-
sented seven programs in the “Big
8" series. The first of these was
in Page Hall on October 28, a musi-
cal minstrel show sponsored by the
Class of '45. Its “Five Chocolate
Drops” and “Mr. Gallagher and Mr.
Sheehan” acts spurred the show to
its final goal of $219.50.

This was followed, on November
18, by the Faculty “Big 8.” This af-
fa‘r made $178.

Christmas time was the season
for the third “Big 8” under the
joint sponsorship of Student Chris-
tian Association, Newman Club, and
Hillel. The “Toy Shop” with its
Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy
in conjunction with Chanukah Ser-
yice earned $126.

Number four of the series was the
“State Fair,” in which were repre-
sented all of the group houses on
campus. The varied attractions and
originality presented here netted
$445.50.

The most recent event of the “Big
8” program is the Intersorority af-
fair. This was a social evening
composed of bridge playing and
dancing with an orchestra, Its re-
ceipts totaled $155.80.

These amounts totaled to $1,124.80,
but complete results have not been
tabulated, as both Sophomore and
freshman “Big 8” returns are to be
withheld until after Moving-Up
Day, and the Junior class “Big 8
has not taken place. Betty J. Mc-
Grath, '46, chairman of the ig 8”,
estimates the final results at $1,800
as a minimum,

Griffin Releases

Counselor List

Fifty-two counselors have been
chosen for the staff of Frosh Camp
as a result of the personal interviews
held last week. Jean Griffin,
rector of the week end program an-
nounces that an important meeting
will be held Wednesday, May 16 in
room 206 at 12 noon. ‘The various
committees will be announced at this
time and it is important that all
counsellors attend:

‘Those selected from the class of
46 include: Harriet Brinkman, Mar-
ion Beutow, Peggy Casey, Georgette
Dunn, Nellie Glod, Jean Griffin, di-
rector of the camp, Betty Hamilton,

Myskania To Serve Tea
At Moving-Up Day Social

An innovation in the regular Mov-
ing-Up Day program will be the tea
given by Myskania for parents and
friends of State College students in
the Richardson Lounge from 3-5
P.M. on May 11,

It was felt that the Moving-Up
Day programs of previous years were
not complete in that there was no
scheduled program between the
morning activities and the program
in the later evening.

This year the Lounge will be open
to all parents and friends of stu-
dents attending the Moving-Up Day
exercises. Myskania will preside over
introductions to faculty and other
students, and there will be bridge,
refreshments and dancing.

Where, oh where are the jolly
Juniors? Any other time we could
predict the usual places but for one
month we'll have to rule out these
royal domains and turn our trail to
the auditorium where they can be
seen almost daily, rehearsing for
their latest hit production “Through
the Years.” A history of show busi-
ness, this performance hits an all-
time high for originality, unique
arrangements and master sets.

Mike, the creator and director of
this Broadway production, staged
end planned the entire show.

Do you enjoy mystifying experi-
ments—tests for reactions, temper-
ament, color and character? (No
this isn’t Chem 18) But experiment
is the exceptional characteristic of
“Through the Years.” Last year the
Juniors made their first new test
with “Till We Meet Again.” This
year we see thom delving into deep-
er and more complex stunts of en-
tertainment. Original lyrics and
music, modern dancing, and color-
ful sets accentuate this Junior per-
formance. Toni O'Brien, instigator
of all Junior choruses, oversees the
music and dance compositions
while Muriel Navy, State's pugna-
cious pianist, will bring out their
rhythm tempos,

To really put over an A-1 per-
formance, the Statesmen were solic-
ited for the masculine roles. Sull
Woodie, Hansen, and Brophy
mingle with the jolly Junior fem-
nes, Liebel, Casey, Brinky, and
Skinner in a “charming” little dance
number “Tell Me Pretty Maiden.”
Bob Loucks and Marianne Davis
will introduce vaudeville's romantic
tendencies with “For Me and My
Gal," a song and dance routine.

Sets reach skyhigh in perfection
and structure. From the era of
Tony Pastor and his 585 Variety

Even a prohibition cafe comes in
for its'share in set portraits. The
Juniors expand a little at Coney. Is-

bathing beauties, umbriago umbrel-
las and that charmin’ chanter, Syl-
via Trop, singing “By the Sea.”

A few of the illustrious Junior
soloists make their debut in this
musical revue, Agnes Young will
introduce Mike's original number
“Now and Then.” while Sue Yager's
renditions, “Now” and “Love Walk-
ed In” will please even the balcony-
last row center. But the biggest hit
of the evening will bring to light
the unknown but well heralded vir-
tuoso in her supreme parody of that
soul stirring selection “Daisy,”

This unusual study of American
music and dance will be one of real
tribute to the Junior class. A chron-
ological study of vaudeville, it in-
cludes no dialogue, scenic and set
changes occur within themselves.
The modern choreographic number
is built entirely around a sky-
scraper theme, bringing out the
Junior's desire to excel in this final
Big 8.

If this Big 8 you would visit they'll
guarantee you'll crow and coo.

Many records in the dust. They
have excelled, not only in in schol-

also in the athletic world which will
be the main consideration here.
Good Start

Starting off with a bang, the first
week they were at State, Nora Gia-
velli signed up for the Tennis tour-

s nament. Little did she know that it

mich’ towards a Senior issue that
would live up to their expectations.
‘We're sorry, but it seemed to us that
the issue at stake at the time took
precedence over any other consider-
ation. By the way, it was a good
fight. We enjoyed it. The 1.G.C.
has a good idea there. Here's hop-
dng they can carry it out success-
fully.
Not Again

But our apologies are not yet
complete. Last week the News
copy was lost again, With a dead-
line only an hour away, we were
forced to compose a story on Major
League baseball, originally written
by George Hess—which reporter was
nowhere to be found at the moment.

the winner of last year's American
League and with that to go on, plus
the invaluable assistance of the

ted out what will probably go down

ever written, Added to this, we
find that Detroit did not top the

é *People To Apologize To.

pring

This is the time of year when
every respectable Senior is seen to
wipe away a furtive tear at the
mere mention of Moving-Up Day or
graduation, It's the time of year
when things you've known for four
years suddenly seem new and you
feel as if there is no time to have
your fill of seeing them. Some
friends you have made you know
you might never see again and you
try to crowd the lifetime of them
you may miss into a few fleeting
weeks that remain,

But this is a time, too, of a pull
in the other direction. College is a
phase of life much as childhood and
adolescence: are. And, like them, its
passing closes the door on one
world, but at the same time opens
another on a broader, wider world.
Mixed with the reluctance to leave
the old, is the desire to taste the
new, On the adjustment the indivi-
dual makes between these two
forces, rests his future happiness
and _ contentment,

45 is the war-time class, the
last class which remembers State
before she lived in the shadow of
war. We're the solemn-faced kids
who listened to a firm but sad voice
announce that the United States
was at war. Now we are the class
that graduates on the threshhold
of peace. We graduate knowing
that part of us—the part of us that
marched off to battle—will be re-
turning soon to resume its place.
We are happy knowing this.

From the Sublime

To proceed to a lighter frame of
mind, we hereby submit our list of
possible black-robed ones, with ap-
propriate comment:

1, Sullivan—Slow but sure.

45 Lost But

As so many other freshman
classes, '45 lost rivalry, but in some
of the individual encounters, they
came off very well. Girls’ basket-
ball was the heartbreaker. The frosh
took the first game, but a two-point
victory for the Sophs in the second
put them back in the running and

Race For Points

Women’s and men’s rivalry con-

lc a game for school leagues
from 9 AM. to 6 P.M,

‘46 didn’t have a chance in the
athletic world against the might of
45. The blue devils were smother-
ed in football as the Soph men
romped off with a 27-6 victory tuck-
ed away, The men’s basketball was
just as decisive. The 49-29 score is
sufficient evidence of that fact. The
girls, too, made a clean sweep in
their department. Points for bas-
ketball were earned by a 36-32 win
in the first game—an exciting over-
time affair—and by a decisive 33-
25 score in the second. Softball fell
to the Sophs in an easy 35-25 win.
It was Dave Griffin, '45, who proved
to be the fastest man at State—on
the track, of course—in a race that
was the talk of the college for
weeks,

As Juniors, '45 continued to be
sparkplugs in WAA. They watched
over the frosh at camp, got point-
ers on hockey from Mary Now, just
returned from hockey camp. Then
there was the girls’ football inter-
lude with Juniors sparkplugging
many of the teams. At a Camp
Johnston week-end a group of them
aided the cause of WAA. ‘Sander-
son was behind the Mixed basket-
ball game, in which the gals were
massacred but had a swell time
anyway.

The infirmities of old age and
the trials of practice teaching have
taken their toll on the Seniors but
they have kept up their interest
and skill in WAA. They have been
the mainstays of many a basketball
and bowling team.

45 may have lost its men, its
youth and its carefree attitude but
its “pep and drive” are still in
evidence.

Moving-Up Day...

(Continued from page 1, Col. 5)
3 P .M. to 5 P.M., an iced tea spon-
sored by Myskania is scheduled in
the Commons. Members of the Stu-
dent body, their friends and rela-
tives and faculty members, are in-
vited.

In the evening, the Sophomore-
freshman rivalry skits will be pre-
sented in Page Hall at 6:45, At 7:30
PM,, the four classes will take their
respective places on the front steps
of Draper Hall for the traditional
Moving-Up night sing. To climax
the day's activities, the winner of
the freshman-Sophomore rivalry
will be announced, and the rivalry
cup presented to the President of
the victorious class. A dance in the
Commons will follow from 9 P.M. to
12 P.M.

‘Tomorrow will witness the cul-
mination of the dreams and am-
bitions of literally hundreds of
State College students. It is the
day towards which all the efforts
of the past year have been direct-
ed. The secrecy of the “day of
days” has been played up enough
to need going into here. People
who know secrets are assuming
blank expressions —’ trying te
make believe they don't. That's
@ sport in itself.

But in the midst of all this con-
niving, double talk, tension, etc.,
stands the award of the WAA
trophies. It isn’t a secret. Any-
one can know. When the an-
nouncement is made tomorrow,
no one will be surprised. Phi Delt
_will send its representative to re-
ceive the grandly impressive bow-
ling trophy, while the Gamma
Kap squad will accept the covet-
ed and equally as impressive bas-
ketball award. It’s in the bag.

Frosh Take Softball;
Add To Rivalry Tally

Sophs Bow To Frosh, 13-7
In Exciting Scoring Spree

A determined freshmen squad took
the field Thursday afternoon and
finally broke the Sophomore winn-
ing streak by triumphing in the
rivalry softball game 13-7.

Peg Daly starred as the frosh
pitcher, In the first inning Jean
Valentine, Lydia Boynton and Pat
Tilden brought in runs for '48, but
the Sophs were unable to connect
with Daly's slow, steady ball and
the second frame opened 3-0 in favor
of the freshmen.

The next inning was one of sloppy
fielding for the Sophomores but nei-
ther team made any runs and at the
top half of the third the frosh still
held their lead. Forty-seven struck
out again and as the possibility of a
shut-out game loomed the freshmen
sought a more decided victory. The
daffy cheering section roared their
delight as Valentine, Shapiro, Boyn-
ton, Tilden, Diehl, Lengyel, Young
and Daly all come home in the bot-
tom of the third and the score was
11-0.

The Sophomores thwarted ‘48's
hope for a ciphered game when
Sweeney and Margot came home in
the fourth. But the frosh evened up
their lead bringing Young and Daly
in and the last inning opened 13-2
for. the freshmen.

The Gremlins now seemed to find
Daly's pitch and made a final valient
try to even up the score. Sue Camp-
bell, Edna Sweeney, Jean Davidson
(a triple), Vivien Nielson and Ber-
tha Wakin completed the diamond
and the game closed 13-'

declared a holiday and went
mourning when she left. You
one person in a town of 200 means
@ lot. There she participated in all
the major sports offered in the
high school—basketball, softball and
track. Track, however, should not

relays, dashes, ps
Bit Jumps, came under this head-
ing.

Gremlin Gain

“One man’s loss is another's
gain,” they say and Russo was def-
initely a gain for the Gremlins. In
her freshman year, she obtained
credit in three sports—softball, bas-
ketball and hiking. She took part
in rivalry swimming, basketball,
softball and track events. Early her
skill in basketball was noted and it
was undoubtedly one of the main
factors in helping ’47 win rivalry
basketball last year against some of
‘46's seasoned players, She also
participated in swimming and ping
pong not receiving credit, however,
in either of these sports.

In her second year, Russo was ap-
pointed co-captain of WAA swim-
ming and captain of the rivalry
swimming team (which won inci-
dentally). She obtained credit in
four more sports — ping pong,
hockey, Ife-saving and again the
old stand-by, basketball. Most of
her fame this year, has come as a
result of this sport. She was in the
line-up of Sophs who played in the
rivalry game this year. She came
to the aid of the Gremlins in both
games with 19 and 17 points
All State Forward

No one can deny that she was
one of the mainstays on Newman
Hall's squad this year. And didn't
they end up in the big three of bas-
ketball? Recognition of her out-
standing playing was awarded last
week, when she was chosen as a
forward on the All-State Star bas-
ketball team.

Turning to her swimming record,
we find that she took part in the
rivalry swim meet last year, win-
ning one of the novelty races, This
year, she went out for live-saving,
obtaining a l.fe-saving certificate as
well as enough hours to receive
credit.

Just before Easter vacation,
something happened to her back,
which, unless some quick mending
takes place, will prevent her from
participating in any more sports,
this year or next. This would not
cnly be a loss to the class but to
State as well. A good all-around
sport is always missed. Somehow
we feel tho’, that this is not the
end of her spectacular sports ca-
reer. Good mending Russo!

VOL. XXIX NO. 95

Myskania Taps Thirteen

Weinberg Wins

Vice Presidency,
O’Brien Secretary

By a substantial majority of the
votes cast in last Friday's election
Helen Slack Shure gained the office
of President of Student Association
for next year. Out of a total of
818 votes cast, Mrs. Shure gained
an easy margin for herself on the
first distribution, polling 457 votes,
47 votes over the quota.

Robert Sullivan, runner-up in the
race with a total of 279 votes, failed
to equal his record of last year
when he captured the vice-presi-
dency of Student Association by ap-
proximately the same margin that
Mrs. Shure carried this year. James
Crandall, the third candidate, failed
to even show in the election, trail-
ing Mr. Sullivan by 198 votes.
Weinberg On Third

The Vice-Presidency election was
more hotly contested, the main con-
test being between Mr. Lashinsky
and Mr. Weinberg. Weinberg’s
majority in the third and last dis-
tribution was only 8 votes. Lorna
Kunz and Gertrude Smith both
drew small totals.

O'Brien Wins Easily

The Secretarial race narrowed
down to two candidates due to the
previous preferences of both Justine
Maloney and Gloria Gilbert for
other offices, Jane O'Brien easily
won over her opponent, Hilda Field-
er, piling up a 297 vote majority,

The Grand Marshall election was
never long in doubt as Betty Ham-
ilton took the lead on the first dis-
tribution and reached the quota on
the third distribution. Her nearest
competitor was Marianne Davis.
Casey Is Songleader

Other Student Association elec-
tions resulted in the victory of Peg-
wy Casey as Songleader and Betty
Brennan, Mary Carey, Rita Cole-
man and Genevieve Sabatini as
Cheerleaders. In explanation of
the last distribution for the Song-
leader election, it will be noted that
Miss Casey needed only a few votes
to reach the quota of 410 so that
only enough of Mary Telian’s vote

were distributed until Miss Casey

got the required total.

The newly elected members of
the Student Board of Finance for
next year are Judith Gerofsky,
Gloria McFerran, Betty J, McGrath
