STATE COLLEGE NEWS,
SATURDAY, MARCH 8, 1958
| Cheer(s)ForStoodnez KenIt?
The Saturday pre-dawn convention of Stoodnez Ken
It? on March 6 was held in Joe’s Confectionery Shop (as
opposed to the old meeting place of Olendorf’s) for obvious
reasons.
The question of government revival was thrown out
for discussion by President Jon Wager, but nobody caught
it, and silence reined for ten minutes. By the time the
knitters had picked up their stitches, the previous question
was moved, so the issue was floored for one month, This is
the first concrete example we have had of Ken It? even
considering the question. Keep up the good work!
A second innovation came with the passage of a bill to
eliminate State College Revue. Masspania fought against
the measure but to no avail. What will they do now?
In place of the Revue, it was proposed to have a Lack
of Interest Day. Again we congratulate the members of
Ken It? for sizing up the situation so very well and actually
doing something worthwhile for the college as a hole.
What, Me Cut?
This week a new high in progressive education was
reached at State with the passage of an administrative rul-
ing that only those who have an average below 2.0 could
could have unlimited cuts. This is the first concrete step
taken by the College to satisfy the felt needs of the stu-
dents. The old custom of unlimited cuts was taken away
from those on Dean's List, and those having averages
above 2.0 must go to classes at least once a week
This is only one in a series of steps to promote good
faculty-student relations, Dean Smokes assures us. It was
the feeling of the administration that the system would
be a workable and feasible one since those on probation
seldom go to class anyway, and it is about time that the
administration recognized the fact. ‘The ‘clods" (as Dean
Oscar Plenferd called those on Dean's List) go to classes
anyway and the “grinds” (those with averages above 2.0)
are dying to be “‘clods” so .
As far as the minimum average for Presidential candi-
dates was concerned, the administration felt that anyone
with an average above 2.5 would be too academically
minded to do a good job. Another step in the right direction!
A new no-homework rule is presently being considered
by the faculty. The semi-annual practice of giving exams
is also on the agenda for the next faculty meeting. Things
are really picking up, gang!

' WELCOME!
Grom The Presidents...
On behalf of the students of Albany State College for Teachers, I
take pride in welcoming you, parents and guests, to our Second Annual
Parents’ Day. I hope you will enjoy your visit as much as we enjoy
having you here
Your Parents’ Day Committee has spent endless hours in trying
to arrange a program that will give you an overall view of our college
life. You will have an opportunity to meet the members of the faculty
and administration, as well as other students The dormitories and
group houses are open for your inspection. Classes are being conducted
for your benefit. You’ll have a chance to take part in one of the oldest
collegiate traditions—a coffee hour! This evening, our Parents’ Day
Program will close with the presentation of “The Boyfriend.”
Here is your golden opportunity to learn more about our collegiate
environment. For some of you, your visit will bring back memories of
your own college days. For others, your visit will be a new, exciting ex-
perience. For all of you, we hope your visit will be a memorable one.
We are proud of our institution of higher learning and we hope
that when you leave our campus, you too will feel this pride, for you
are an important part of Albany State College for Teachers.

President of Student Association

This year the Parents’ Day Com-
mittee decided lo experiment with
2 single round of classes and dem-
onstrations in order to represent the
academic side of State College on

The committee felt that a college
open house would be a much more
interesting one if it was an active
open house, and so we have included
music rehearsals, science demon-
striations and all the rest. Last year
many of you said that you would
have welcomed an opportunity to
chat with the deans privately, and

For the College, I am happy to extend to you a warm welcome to
the Parents’ Day of 1958. The activities of the day have been designed
and developed by the students of the College, in an effort to give you,
their parents, some sense of what the College is and does.
It is entirely appropriate that your sons and daughters should ar-
range this day for you. To send a son or daughter to college in these
days means, for almost any family, real effort and sacrifice. The stu-
dents who are here want you to share their experience of college; they
want you to know what you are giving them,
To convey a sense of what it means to go to college is difficult in-
deed. In the few hours you are here, you may get a sense of the place
and the people, and snatches of the program—a class or two, a glimpse
of the musical or dramatic or social activities of the College. To get
a sense of the intellectual life of the College is more difficult in a short
time—indeed, it evades some undergraduates whose stay here is some-
what longer than yours. And most difficult to convey is the spirit and
sense of purpose that motivates the College and its alumni and, in-
creasingly, its students.
All these and more are here for you to see and share. You have
reason to be proud of your sons and daughters, and they of you and
of their College. We bid you welcome.
Evan R. Collins,
President of the College

STATE COLLEGE NEWS, SATURDAY, MARCH 15, 1958
Every Friday...
The history of the State College News is a full and
colorful one. Its first issue appeared on Friday, November
4, 1916, financed with the sale of subscriptions. The News
has come a long way since that time but it has always
maintained an important influence on Student Govern-
ment and extra-curricular activities. It has been a leader
sensitive to progress.
Since its initial publication, the News has always come
out on Friday. This has been a tradition which each
editor has had to live up to. It is a constant challenge, but
no one has ever failed.
To many people on campus the News is considered to
be a closed clique. To a certain extent this is true. In order
to meet the challenge every week the members of the News
Board and staff work under constant pressure to produce
the paper that you are now reading. There is no glory in
this work. What then keeps you coming back week after
week? Is it loyalty, loyalty to the tradition and the satis-
faction gained when you read and see others read “your”
masterpiece on Friday.
This feeling has been with every Board and staff mem-
ber since the founding of the paper. Without it there
would be no paper. These people make the News what it
is now and what it will be. The News is a personality and
a machine. It is powerful and dynamic. It is the very
heart of State. MCF.
For You...
This issue of the State College News represents another |
“first” for this college. This year, in an effort to expand
the picture of State College visiting parents receive on the
day dedicated to them, the planning committee approach-
ed the hierachy of this publication and asked if it would
be possible to publish a special ‘Parents’ Day issue of the
News,” devoted to the extra-curricular life of State College
students. What you see before you today is the end product
of that idea—the first annual Parents’ issue of the State
College News.
In these six pages, you will find descriptions of the
organizations and activities in which your son or daughter
participates. You will also find some of the regular features
and columns which appear regularly in this newspaper;
the only alteration made in them is that they have been
written by the usual writers in their usual journalistic
Style especially for you, “the folks at home.”
We hope you will find a few free moments sometime
during this hectic day to glance through this issue, for
there is a purpose behind this publication.
All of us—administration, faculty, and students, are
proud of the extra-curricular program here at NYSCT.
Student government, publications, dramatics, sports, and
music are an important phase of the college's education
program. The hundreds of sons and daughters who ac-
tively participate in one or more of these extra-class activi-
ties are learning to face responsibility; they are learning
to deal with people and situations they will face not only
in their four years at State, but throughout life. As future
educators, they are learning of the value of an extra-cur-
ricular activities program to any student, whether he be a
high school or college student. Finally, no college career
would be complete without some contact with student
activities—it is the “expected thing to do” on most Amer-
ican campuses.
So, to the moms and dads who are gracing State Col-
lege today with their presence, we dedicate this issue
your issue—of this campus’ biggest, hest, (and only) news-
paper, The State College News. JAS

STATE COLLEGE NEWS, SATURDAY. MARCH 15, 1958
Some Live In Apariments ...
There are at Albany State a whole group of apart-
ment dwellers who, either by desire or necessity, have
been confronted rather suddenly with the complica-
tions and joys of adult living.
Since the start of the housing shortage at State,
more and more students have been taking this monu-
mental step, until now at the peak of the shortage,
the apartment dwellers chill the faint heart by sheer
force of their numbers.
Speaking in broad averages, each cave man spends
thirty dollars a month for rent. He shares his hut
with two others, He lives in a dwelling consisting of
three rooms—a bedroom, a living room, and a kitchen,
He shares one bathroom and two closets with his
mates. The furnishings are old and ornate, but com-
fortable. The three mates eat scanty breakfasts, ela~
borate dir and countless snacks in the apart-
ment. For this food each eater contributes eight dol-
lars a week. Cooking and washing duties rotate, and
house vleaning {s a once-a-month, three-man job.
This description applies rather closely to eighty or
ninety percent of the hovelers, although there is a
variation, to a considerable extent in the details of
their existence.

to show you how the radical 10°; lives. It is the apart-

In addition to the distinction of
being on the dean's list if he ob-
tains an accumulative average of
B for the semester, a State College
student may receive further aca-
demic recognition by being elected
to one of State's eight honorary
societies. Signum Laudis, the schol-
astic honorary established in 1932,
is comprised of the top ten per-
cent of the Senior class, of which
four percent is named at Moving
Up Day of the Junior year, another
four percent in the fall of the Sen-
ior year, and the remaining two
percent at Moving Up Day of the
Senior year. All members must
have an accumulative average of B
or higher,
Almost all departments in the
college now have an honorary so-
ciety. The requirements are set up
to parallel those of the national
honor societies and in many cases
appreciably exceeds national re-
quirements. In general, the student

completed the majority of courses

MOVING UP DAY is an annual tradition climaxing the school year, Each class moves up and a pro-
cession of the classes is led out of Page Hall where the class numerals are formed and ivy is planted by the
outgoing Seniors. In the evening, a skit written and produced by the students is presented. A campus sing,
with the classes forming a hollow square in front of Draper Hal

Greetings
Mom and Dad
Hello Moms and Dads.
When they told me you were coming today, I sat right
down behind my typewriter, and began banging out a
story connected with our sports system here at State.
However, I got lost after trying to make up enough stories
to fill the rest of the page. The pictures are proof of that.
So, I decided to write you a letter since I seldom get the
chance during the week with football, soccer, basketball,
volleyball, badminton, tennis and bowling taking up most
of my time along with my favorite sport of pin the tail on
the donkey.
We do have a full program of sports, and there is
something to satisfy everyone. A vigorous physical activi-
ty schedule is presented to us as soon as we get to frosh
camp. The thing which stands out most in my mind about
this year’s carnp was the new sport of dunk the counselor
in the swimming pool. I was the counselor!
There's always a sign-up sheet posted on the activity
bulletin board for some sport, If you don't sign, they
nickname you “apathetic.” I signed up once, but never
again. They told me they play two-hand touch football
here. Well, I thought I could master a course in that, but
much to my dismay, I was wrong. Do you know that three
out of eleven players on a league team are sent to the
hospital at least once during the season? I made it up
for our team, [ was sent three times
So, you can see why I stick to writing a column. I
hope you're not too disappointed, but’ you must realize
that I wasn't cut out for sports ever since my coach
kicked me off the zwieback cating team in nursery school

I'm Not Your Type?
Dramatics...
Not far from the doors of our
“clean, well-lighted” Alma Mater
are areas and dwellings in which
children bear the brunt of a life of
poverty, dirt, and personal insecur!-
ty. Two castles have arisen in these
areas to protect the little people.
The first castle is called The Albany
Home for Children; the second is
The Clinton Square Neighborhood
House.
“The Home” provides one group
of children with food, shelter, and
recreational facilities. The Neigh-
borhood House offers its refugees
lunches, sports, crafts, and clubs.
Within the castles’ walls, small
staffs work to fulfill the needs of
their children, but the job is too
big for them to handle, Volunteer
workers are a physical and finan-
cial necessity.
The Smiles organization at State
has tried to fulfill this need by
sending its members to help. “Help-
ing out” may mean acting as Santa
at a party, tutoring an eight year
old in reading, leanding a group of
Brownies, teaching a craft group, or
