@ year away from the telephone,
radio and the world news? Right
now it probably sounds pretty
good. From Dr. Louis C. Jones,
assistant professor of English at
State College, comes a letter de-
scribing his impressions of the
Virgin Islands, where he is doing
just that.

In his letter Dr. Jones speaks
of the tropical atmosphere, of
strange plants, tropical fish,
clear and sunny skies, a climate
in which he goes swimming every
day, and above all where “time
doesn’t matter.” (All good State
College students go to the Virgin
Islands when they die.)

The letter may be found on

Plan Pep Rally,
Myskania Skit
For Assembly

Myskania members will partici-
pate in a parody on Dickens’
“Christmas Carol,” and part of the
entertainment for the orphan show
Thursday will be given in assem-
bly this morning. Players on the
Varsity basketball squad are to be
introduced and a pep rally will be
held to give the team a send-off
for the St, Michael's game and
Plattsburg this weekend,

Cast for Skit

The skit will take place at Know
Nothing University where the
characters are Dean Scrooge, Philip
Lashinsky; Tiny Tim  Crachett,
Robert Combs; Mrs. Crachett, Alice
Knapp _ Randa’ Dean Morely,
James Conley; Scrooge's secretary,
Clyde Cook; two tough characters,
Ruth Bentley and Lois Hutchinson.
Entertainment for the orphan show

in tsburg this weekend, and to
practice the cheers for the Siena-
State game Tuesday in the Wash-
ington Street Armory.

At the end of assembly a collec-
tion will be taken up from the stu-

Teachers’ Strikes Force Many Schools To Close

On December 10, 900 students
didn't go to school in Pawtucket,
Rhode Ishind, a city with a popu-
lation of 75,000. Pawtucket boasts
of having the lowest tax rate in
New Englind, a fact that is well
illustrated, for teachers are paid
less than store clerks and mill
workers in Pawtucket industry, who
have spent neither the time nor
the money preparing — themselves

In St. Paul, Minnesota, seventy-
seven grade and high schools were
closed when teachers struck for
higher wages. ‘The city contended
that tt could not legally meet any
of the teacher's demands, Minne-
apolis, scheduled to strise, did not
because of a last) minute settle-
nent. Five teachers in the rural
district of Fort Dodge, Towa, struck
the sume day, leaving 90 pupils

. without educational facilities.

Do these strikes indicate a defin-
ite wend? N before have the
men and women entrusted with the
education of this generation taken
advantage of a dangerous weapon

to this degree. Now it has come to
the point where higher wages are
necessury to maintain a normal
standard of living. But in most
communities, appropriations — pre-
vent any raises in teachers’ salaries
beyond the provided minimum
According to William M. Rutler,
Deputy Attorney General of Penn-
yivania, “It Is not a question of
what the administration would like
lo do; it ts a question of what It
can do, and it can do nothing at
this Ume." In other words, there
must be legislation before there
can be salary increas

Unlike the salarie of Lewis’
miners, teachers’ pay is controlled
by the state and ely government
Further, state and community  fin-
ances are controlled by legislation:
passed by the representatives of the
people. Who Is responsible tor the
low salary scales for teachers? The
taxpayers. Without thelr aid, then,
the men and women teaching thelr
children will remain underpaid and
handicapped by poor facilities.
According to Dr. Harold Taylor,

President of Sarah Lawrence Col-
lege, “Not only must there be more
teachers, they must receive
higher salarie: Because of the
return of — veterans, — American
teachers will be educating during
the coming year almost as many
young persons as the remainder of
the world, combined.

The _ present aicher — shortage
threatens to continue, unless some
encouragement ts offered to stu-
dents who might enter State Col-
leges and normal schools i there
were to be ample reward for five
years of study, We are demandins
more education of our teachers, but
they are demanding greater com-
pensation, Unless it is given, there
is no relief in sight for this critical
situation

What we need ts greiter appro-
priations, through legislation, th
this way, our teachers will receive
a living wage, strikes will be avert-
ed and more High School graduates
will be perstiaded to enter teacher
training institutions.

Alumni Authors
Publish Works

Three State College alumni have
written books which were published
within the last month. “Fanny
Engle's Cook Book" by Mrs, Fanny
Goldsmith Engle, '12, was publish-
ed November 21, and “Spoonhan-
dle," by Ruth Moore, '25, and “The
Little Curousel," by Marcia Brown,
'40, went to press this month,

The cook book, according to Mrs.
Engle, is designed for the average
housewife who has to cope with
the daily food problems of scarcity
and rising prices, rather than
searching for seldom used ingre-
dients. Mrs, Engle, who has taught
in Middletown and New York City,
is also the originator of a puppet
show, "Fanny Engle Marionettes,”
which toured the country.

“Spoonhandle," Miss. Moore's
second book, depicts life In a re-
mote Maine fishing village. This
best-seller has been condensed in
the December issue of the Reader's
Digest. Miss Moore's first book on
life in Maine was “The Wier,” pub-
lished in 1943, Miss Moore has
been an associate editor of the
Reader's Digest since 1942, Previ-
is to becoming associated with
the staff she taught school, wrote
in publicity, and operated a ranch
in California,

“The Little Carousel,” a picture
book for children, is written and
illustrated by Marela Brown, ‘40,
This book was reviewed in the No-
vember 26 issue of the New York
Times, in observance of Children's
Book Week, carrying out the theme
of “Books Are Bridges." Miss
Brown is employed at present by
the Public Library on 42nd Street
in New York Clty.

Bombs Away ...

‘Target for this week is the assembly program but
before we open fire, a preliminary briefing on the
nature of the beast might be in order,

Assemblies are not required by state regulations,
nor imposed on the student body by the arbitrary
decision of the administration. Nor are they one
hour a week when Student Council is responsi-
ble for our entertainment. They are supposed to be
an opportunity for the students to meet for the pur-
pose of carrying on the student government, but the
one meager business meeting conducted since school
started in September seems a rather sad commen-
tary on student participation in that sphere.

State has a far-reaching reputation for running
its government and extracurricular activities with
a maximum of student initiative and a minimum
of faculty supervision, but magicians and fill-in
movies are a poor substitute for active leadership
at the one time the student body is convened.
There is a predominant feeling around State Col-
lege that there should be more business meetings.

Now to set our sights for the non-business assem-
bly. In other years, outside speakers have been
brought in to discuss current vital topics affecting
students both as citizens and as teach This
year, an increased percentage of State’s population
was entitled to vote in the state elections because
of the return of the veterans, but representatives
from each party were not obtained to speak, as they
have been in the past.

No recognition has been made of the struggle of
New York State teachers for higher sale either,
although it is being carried on five blocks away. If
some participant in this movement could be found
to inform us what is being done and what we could
do to help, it wouldn't be an hour misspent.

Before we creep back into our camouflage, we
will discharge our remaining ammunition, Who
has charge of enforcing the ruling that no announce-
ments shall be made in assembly which are included
in the News? and would whoever made the regu-
lation that every publicity committee for every
organization stand on its head and serenade the
students with “tomorrow night in Page, tra la’,

please repeal it?

"Peace On Earth... ”

This year the simple words, “Peace on earth,
good will towards men,” express not on
essence of the Christmas season, but the crying
need of the world today,

the

Study In Contrast

‘A large group of State College
theatre goers, composed in the main
of freshman “daughters” and their
new sorority “mothers”, arrived at

they should leave in the same state
of mind.

One element which contributed to
the success of the evening was the
interesting contrast between the two
productions, or rather, between their
two authors. The target for the
night was marriage. The bombard-
jer in the opening piece was the Rus-
sian heavy demolition expert, An-
ton Chekhov, whose lusty strike at
the vagaries of man to woman rela-
tionships brought forth many a
broad guffaw from an appreciative
audience. The afterpiece,, one of the
most effective jobs of the superbly
clever pinpoint bombing technician
GBS, approached the objective from
@ more serious angle but provoked
frequent chuckles in the bargain.

The first play was, for the most
part, accurately and imaginatively
interpreted by Miss Dunker and her
cast, who must be complimented for
their sensible treatment of quasi-
burlesque comedy. The acting hon-
ors were Barselou’s by a nose. Es-
pecially commendable was his abil-
ity to control the audience for some
four minutes virtually unaided.

Gestures and voice inflections were
well handled, save for some spots
where clarity was sacrificed for speed
in delivery of lines.

We felt that Miss Dell, impeded by

By HAL ASHWORTH.

the sluggishness of her ageless and
arthritic man-servant, had difficul-
ty in getting started. As the action
crescendoed, however, so did Miss
Dell. Aided by an expresive face,
Miss Dell succeeded in spots in being
hilariously funny. Her servant com-
pletely overlooked the comedy in his
character, nor do we think he had
definitely decided how to use his
voice.

Miss Fillman’s production included
just enough of the mysterious to en-
able us to scan Shaw’s argument.
The action was held together by the
completely natural and amiable in-
trepretation of the understanding
wife by Miss Jaffer. We gained con-
fidence that matters would resolve
themselves logically from our im-
pression that Miss Jaffre was entire-
ly at home on the stage. Her hus-
band obviously had more on his
mind. Mr, Reich's characterization
was convincing, if not consistently
clear, In attempting a difficult role,
that of the amorous poet, Giff
Wingate occasionally came close to
the overly-sincere. Shaw's subtle
comedy was projected well by the
entire cast.

An additional word of encourage-
ment is given to those responsible
for the two effective sets. The de-
tail in Miss Dunker’s set was ob-
viously well-planned. At the same
time mention should be made of the
unfortunate lghting situation in
Miss Fillman's play. Moving spot-
lights and the fact that shadows
were often cast against the French
doors, as well as across the faces of
the actors, proved quite distracting.

took possession of the C. D.'s and
aut the time of this writing (wed.

to how to return them withouc being

were successful. If not, we'll expose
the culprits next Issue

Next issue also will bring via this
column a rather unique idea, for
sepiors especially. IUs really some-
thing worth while, and if the peo-

stuff that it takes, if the idea is
adopted, it will prove very renumer-

COURSE NO. XI—Filling the Old Christmas Stocking
With only nine more shopping nights until Christ-
mas Eve, don't you think it’s time you started cross-
ing out items on that lengthy list of yours? This
week’s column, in the true festive spirit that needs
must precede ye holiday season, will dedicate itself,
therefore, to hints for gleeful shoppers.
Hints for Gleeful Shoppers
1, First on our list, we recommend a smart little
solid-gold, gem-encrusted buy currently seen at John
Rubel (he-provides-the-carats-you-shell-out-the-rub-
les), Fifth Avenue, New York City. This gift is a set
of equipment for a lady's handbag and, if your girl
friend already lias her own handbag, this little en-
semble would be a snappy filler. The set consists of
the following items, (prices included):

Item
checkbook case
cigarette case
eyeglasses ......
money clip
oval vanity case
|: er
perfum flask
lipstick holder
pen-and-pencil set. ..
pillbox
mesh purse
cigarette holder

Price of Item
$700

cigarette lighter scsi -- “ 150
Key CHAIN ncn ne 100
St. Christopher medal .......... 18
taxi whistle - 15.50
four-leaf clover ...... sient 200
identification disc. 18
Set. ..... $9,833.50

Comment about gift: If you give this to a girl friend,
it is sure to impress her.
2. Your college jeweler has a few suggestions fol-

lowing along in the same vein (only these are more
collegiate) :
Fur-lined zipper case (to carry NEWSes in) $837

14-Carat mail boxes (for lower hall Draper) 860
Sapphire encrusted beanie (for freshmen) 1000
Solid gold classbox (for rich P.T.'s) 550
Ruby speckled book cover (for books) ..... 444.44
Neon sorority pin (you-push-the-button-it
lights-up) 7 : 450
Neon independent pin (I'm-not-getting-in-
trouble-with-anybody-around-here) same price

Total what-does-it-
matter-anyway?
3. Now we come to the fragrance department, Don't
get your girl just any perfume, men—match the odor
to her fragrant personality. Following is a list of
girl friend types and the proper perfumes to go with
them:
Girlfriend Types
Distinctly a Leader
Afraid of Her Own Shadow
Egocentrically Selfish

Perfumes to Go With Them
Suivez-Moi
Courage
Toujours Moi

Stays Out After 11 on Week Nights : My Alibi
Likes to Cut Classes Tabu
Manifests Amorously In Lounge My Sin

4. (and last) Suggestion for the ladies to give their
gentlemen friends: One bottle of Men of Distinction

Newman, Hillel, SCA To Present Big-8

Williams Will Read New Rules

In Commons Before Banner Hunt

Holiday Package
To Be Delivered
Next Wednesday

Entertainment and the creation
of seasonal spirits is a promise of
the “Holiday Package”. SCA, Hillel,
and Newman Club invite you to
come to the Page Hall Auditorium
Wednesday night at 8:30 P. M. to
watch one of their biggest and best
Big-8's.

The processional by the 99 girls
in the State College Chorus will start
the performance. They will wear
dark robes and carry candles, such
as found in church on Christmas
Eve. Along an even more serious and
religious nature will be the two
scenes, “Tableau of Nativity” and
“Feast of Lights” presented by New
man Club and Hillel respectively.
The “Feast of Lights” is a study
in light and darkness, and the dra-
matic significance of the story will
be completely worked out with lights.

Well-known carols sung by the
chorus will provide the entertain-
ment during the intermission. A
little lighter vein will be injected
into the program when SCA depicts
a visit to a toy shop by Santa Claus.
As the curtain falls on this last
scene, the chorus will participate in
the Recessional. The evening will
finish in the Gym where music will
be provided for all students who wish
to dance.

The “Twenty-third Psalm" op. 132
by Schubert and “The Slumber of
the Infant Jesus” by Francis Au-
guste Gevaert have been selected
by the Religious Clubs as the music
to accompany the occasion.

Tickets for the third Big-8 per-
formance of the year will be on sale
at the stamp booth next week for
fifty cents.

The rehunt for the '49 and ‘50

banners will take place tomorrow
from 1 to 5 P.M. The revised ban-
ner rivalry rules and list of places
where Myskania members will be
stationed so that members of the
rival classes will know where to
contact them in case of conflict,
will be read in the Commons at
12:45 P. M. by Alice Williams, '48,

The rules which were revised hy

People of Virgin

Islands Friendly,

Helpful, Says Dr. Louis Jones

(Ed. note--Dr, Louis C. Jones,
former assistant professor of Eng-
lish, loft this summer to spend a
year in the Virgin Islands gather-
ing folklore material and writing
a book, While here he taught
American Folk literature, and he
is now serving ax editor of the
Folklore Quarterly magazine.)

Box 64, Frederiksted

St. Croix, Virgin Island

Sometime in Dec. I for-
got the date

Dear Friends:

‘The Editor has asked me to write
you about St. Croix and the life
here, and, Bl me! I don't know
where to begin, Perhaps in the
plane that morning in early July
us we climbed into the sky from
San Juan, P.R., and started the
lust lap of our journey. Below us
we could see thousands of green
dots in the water, whieh are the
Virgin Islands, then the swelling
hills of St. Thomas with Charlotte
Amalie snuggled in their arms, thon
the forty miles over still blue ocean
and the rising mountains on the
north coast of St. Croix.

‘The fields below were brown and
dry, the white ruins of deserted
plantations reflecting hot and arid
in the morning sun. “Time doesn’t
matter on St. Croix”, said Brother
Hodge as he drove us thru the blis-
tering canefields, thru the back
streets of Lown until we came to our
vottage by the sea, Frankly the first
view was an awful disappointment
and the only one we have had since
we arrived,

"The sugar cane is high now, with
grout lassels waving magestically
in the fields below the ruined white
piles that long ago were mansions
on sluve-built estates. ‘The estates
have names to live in the happy
‘sof one's memory: Hard
Sweetbottom, Solitude, All-
ho-Botter, Parasol, Work and

Fanny's Fancy, Humbug,
Prosperity, and my two favorites,
Upper Love and Lower Love.

Only the long slave quarters are
lived in today, in most of them,
crowded, dirty. The smolls of fried
fish and a cornmeal mush called
fungi, comes up from the little char-
coal braziers as you pass among

them, but the people smile and are
friendly to the strangers; they have
the ways of an independent peo-
ple, The women walk with a gliding
erectness, great bundles or pails
of water on their heads; the men
stride down the road swinging a
matchet, or gallopping on their
little mules, ‘Their politeness is in-
stinctive, but it never grovels; the
politeness of self respect

And the town that looked so dusty

and drab that July morning is filled
with friendly streets now, the houses
nowly, brightly printed. ‘The Porto
Ricans who run the grocery stores
and the natives who run the other
confusing little shops that may sell
everything under one roof, from na-
tive rum and St. Thomas bay rum
to eye cups and carbon paper, they
all know us now and have a bit of
gossip or observations philosophic
for us.
The shoemaker tolls me that the
grey mould on my briefcase he is
repairing comes from the cold
weather we've been having, and he
could be right, it got down to 78
degrees the other night. Usually the
sun is warm when we go in for our
soven o'clock swim before break
fast, but never unbearable even in
mid-day. Never ats hot as say, sum-
mer school the last week in July.
And the nights are always cool
enough for sleep.

People have been kind to us and
we have been making friends. Nine
out of every ten of us on St, Croix
had some ancestors who started
hore from Africa, including many
of the merchants, the policemen, the
telephone operators, the judges,
most of the Council, government
officials, the planters, Ue man who
owns the movie theater, the bar-

O'Brien And Fersh
High Scorers For State

Displaying consistent _scori-g
muna and a tight defense the State
Varsity opened their 1946-47 cam-
paign by drubbing the Alumni All-
Stars Saturday night, 68-29. In the
preliming, State’s Junior Varsity
bowed to a fast Lippman’s Pharmacy
team 47-74,

Sparked by the sharp shooting of
“Tom” O'Brien and “Cy” Fersh, the
Purple and Gold jumped off to an
early lead and stayed out in front

all the way. O'Brien collect seven
field goals and one foul while Fersh
was dropping in six field goals to
lead the attack. After a slow start

against their taller opponents the
Statesmen began to find the range
and soon put the game on ice,

Kirby Leads Off

Play was not two minutes old be-
fore Jack Kirby retrieved a missed
foul shot and started State on its
scoring spree. O’Brien and Ken

George followed with push shots be-

fore Paul Merritt scored the Star's
first with a foul shot. Ed Reed and
Vern Lehman tucked away goals to
end the first quarter scoring with

State ahead 9-5.

“Link” Marzello opened the second
period scoring with a beautiful over-
head shot from the deep left corner.
“Bolo” Marsland set from the cor-
ner and followed with a lay-up be-
fore Reed and Merritt tallied for the
Alumni. Taking a pass from Mars-
land, Fersh dropped in a one-hander
from the foul line and followed with
a lay-up. Half-time: State 29, Stars

Frament Thrills Crowd

The Stars caught fire for the first
few minutes of the third quarter
with Lehman, Lynch and Dickson
dropping in field goals. Taking a
pass from Amyot, Frament pivoted
and flicked in a sensational one-
handed, back-to-basket goal, State
then took over with Wali Schick
and “Karp” Karplak tossing in
goals before Ken George found the

range for two scores.
Druggists Over Jayvees

Playing their first game of the
season, State's Jayvees were out-
classed 47-74 by a veteran Lippman
team paced by Joe Enos who tallied
fourteen field goals and two fouls.
Although handicapped by lack of
height, the Jayvees fought the Drug-
gists right down to the wire. Tom
Lisker and Al Beninati divided scor-
ing honors, each scoring six field
goals with Lisker also chipping in

with three foul shots.

Stale-Mint

By MARJORIE HARLAND

Knit one, purl two, Skidmore has
its problems too. It seems that knit-
ting has become such a fad there
that assembly speakers are actually
concerned about it. The Student
body continues merrily on, however,
knitting articles of handiwork to
send home along with that curse of
a students life—their mid-semester
warnings.

Skidmore also has a new addition,
a men’s basketball team. The ath-
letics are the veterans attending
Skidmore College Extension, They
were to open their season last week
with a game against Albany Phar-
macy.

Glancing through our NEWS files
the other day, I noticed the follow-
ing little anecdote. It seems a Long
Island potato married an Idaho po-
tato, and soon they had a little
sweet potato. The little one flour-
ished, and in due time announced to
its parents that it wanted to marry
Lowell Thomas. “But you can’t
marry Lowell Thomas,” declared the
parents, “He's just a commentator,”

Into this idyllic existence a

housing shortage became an
acutely personal matter,

Could an extra week of vaca-

this dilemma?

Not at all. Kind friends gave

tenders, the school teachers, some
of the clergy, and the plain folks
who do the ordinary unexciting jobs.

In this connection, certainly, I
ought to mention our brilliant and
ext-emely able Governor, William
H. Hastie, former Dean of Howard
University Law School, and an out-
standing leader in our times. The
people of all colors and in all levels
of socicty admire him tremendous-
ly, and the effect upon morale must
be very great when every native
here knows that the chief executive
is one of their own race, and bids
fair to being their best’ governor.
Even the powerful little group of
white men who hold the largest
economic stake in the Island see
it that way now.

For us life is very quiet and very
busy. The book progresses and is
now about third done. The sun
and sea have tanned us all and we
eat like famished pigs. Christmas
morning, as we go into the sea for
our dip, it will not be the same as
other years, but then this is our
different year, A year without tele-
phone or radio or world news, a
yeur when eight hours of every day
is spend pecking at a typewriter,
rather like Archy the Cockroach,

In May I hope to see many of you
as I stop off in Albany before going
to my new duties at Cooperstown:
Until then, a Merry Christmas and
a healthy and happy New Year.
