Life of Edward Eldred Potter
Edward Potter was born Septem-

He first attended Union College on
a scholarship, but after only a few
months he transferred to State Col-
lege. He was a member of the Class
of 1918. To save expenses, he and
another boy shared a tent in Wash-
ington Park. Leaving school for the
rvice, he spent his army career in
Paris,

name of the club, because the stu-
dents who organized it felt that
Edward Eldred Potter best exem-

himself an all-round student by 1

arts, well as participating in
sports. They felt that Potter was the

Idleness Is Waste...
Long ago and far away at a time which none of us
can remember there existed at State a dramatic produc-
tion called the Big Four. Its purpose was to unite the
dramatic talent of all classes. At this time the only tan-
gible remembrance we have of this production is a fund
of approximately seven hundred and fifty dollars.
Each year this fund is entrusted to the Vice-President
of Student Association. Last year money was taken from
this fund to buy roving microphones for convocation meet-
ings in Page Hall. The fund will come up for discussion
Wednesday night at Student Council in order to discover
a possible use for the money. The question reads, “Should
we take action now to use the fund or shall we allow the
money to remain useless?”
We recommend that the fund be used to help produce
the State College Revue. Each year it is suggested that
we produce a Broadway musical but we are always held
back because we lack the funds for such a professional
show. Therefore each year we plead for original scripts.
In fact in today’s issue of the paper we have printed an-
other plea for an original script.
After all this stress and strain the committee accepts
a script, not necessarily a good script, but the best of those
submitted, From this we expect a director to produce a
good play. In doing -this we are overlooking a very im-
portant factor, that of giving the director a good script to
begin with, not one that he has to continually make com-
pensations for with the acting and staging.
By using a Broadway musical we could select a good
script to begin work with and also combine not only the
dramatic talent of the four classes but also the musical
abality and training of the Music Department.
Another factor to be considered is the fact that as the
tentative date for Parents’ Weekend now stands it will
coincide with the State College Revue. We want to show
our parents something which is on a college level, not a
mediocre performance which borders on a level with our
high school plays,
This editorial does not condemn our past State College
Revues but rather states that the more you have to work
with the better show you can produce. Let us not pro-
duce something merely for the sake of tradition but rather
something which can Proudly be labelled our State College
Revue. Let this fund be used for the progress of our dram-
atic productions since the fund came from dramatic pro-
ductions,
All College Weekend...
Each year progress is shown in many ways, student
government, finances and social activities. Into the latter
category we place Homecoming Weekend. Last week we
celebrated the fourth annual one. When the weekend was
originated, events were held on a small scale. Last year
saw the addition of a small parade before the soccer game.
This year a much larger parade with floats prefaced the
home game.
For the success of this weekend we can thank the
chairman and her committee. In addition we can thank
the faculty for their cooperation, especially Dr, Stokes who
led the marching band. We, the students, were glad to see
members of the faculty at the game.
It was also good to cheer a winning team. Our soccer
team this year has not let us down. They fought hard and
have brought our college the prestige and recognition we
are looking for.

Myrna Loy, Adolph Menjou and

Re: Art Plotnik’s column

I read your marvelous article on
“Animalistic Attributes Associated

I must say that T can not agree
with you, You see I am a femme
fatale, and also a Mathematics ma-

animals you described do lurk in
the corridors of State, but they are
definitely in the minority
Using myself us a statistical sam-
ple T would like to correct your par-
simonious column, parsimonious in
the fact that you do not attribute
too many fine qualities to the fe-
male mathematics major. But back
to fundamental concepts: It seems
that you are under the tilusion that
we have long ears. Tf my caleul
tions are right, we don't. I do agree
that we might kick up at anything
we hear but you'll have to prove {.
first. As for u twelve pound note-
book, how can unyone so dainty be
expected to curry one? And T'll have
you know we learned how to apply

The clash of opinion brings sparks of light. (French proverb)
NASTY NASTY
In NYSCT there are about 2,000 students, 1,900 are interested in
what foes on in the school but not to the extent of actively participating.
There are 100 who are interested and show their interests in many ways.
There are even some fanatics. The reasons behind the actions of the
100 very often never reach the 1,900. Then too, how much of an at-
tempt is made to exchange these ideas?
Unfortunately for a few intransigents this column is written by two
representatives of the 1,900. It does not parrot the philosophy of the
select few. It forces the select few to bring into the open, prevolusly
cloudy or complete!
Rather than say we are uninformed, say we are not on the “in”;
rather than say we are consistently poor, say we are constantly agitating.
We need no defense against vulgar slander and impulsively written
attacks. The majority have appreciated a column written by some of
their own, In forcing issues out in the open and in reminding the top
echelon that the commoner still exists, we have not done wrong.
The distorted’ 5 pective of the fanatic finds us quite annoying.
He who has broken every standard of the school finds fault with the
common student. For those who look for humor—how about certain
letters to the editor?
UNANIMOUS—ONE MAN'S OPINION
Concerning one man’s defense of the system of nge students
to other colleges, you offered to tell the State students what you saw
there, but how many listened? You wrote concerning the same issue in
the paper but how many read it? What good came of it?
There was no “bare faced prevarication” when we
opinion that the exchange was worthless. Your defense

ures Rivalryitis
By WILLIAM FRANKONIS
Heavy eyelids, and feet shuffling
hurriedly to and from Draper are
common to all Statesmen. Freshmen
and Sophomores at State, however,
have a unique quality of their own.
Worried faces, lips moving in
soundless speech, and freshmen
scurrying at: the sound of approach-
ing Sophs (who in turn constantly
scan the area for beaniless fresh-
men) are all signs of this distin-
guishing characteristic which is
properly called “rivalryitis.”
Oddly enough, the cause of rival-
ryitis is a State tradition known as
Rivalry, This tradition consists of
a friendly competition between the
freshmen and Sophomores in many
fields of endeavor. Clearly, there is
no indication which affects all those
who are actively involved in rivalry.
The above explanation does not dis-
close the underlying eveuts which
sre the direct causes for 1ivalryitis.
There is no mention made of the
feverish midnight activities. or the
strain of trying to discover the
ss’ plans. Nor is there men-
tion of the soul who, after a diffi-
cult Friday night of “stuay," stag-
gers cheerfully across Dorm Field
on Saturday morning to cheer his
class in the quest for the cup

STATE COLLEGE NEWS, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 2. 19)
Reactionary Republicans Plus Eisenhower Democrats
Play Party Politics With American School Children
President Eisenhower Evades Issue,
Takes Stand After Construction Vote
As students and potential teachers, one of the main issues of the present cam-
paign that we should seriously concern ourselves with is that of Federal Aid to School
Construction.
The 1800 delegates to the White House Conference on Education were con-
cerned last November when they overwhelmingly endorsed such federa] aid. The Na-
tional Education Association was ccacerned when it came
out in favor of such federal
aid. We should all be aware of th: serious shortage of classrooms in the United States
today, but it is quite obvious that the majority of the Republicans in the House of
Representatives were not aware of tne shurtage. Yet, these same individuals will make
all kinds of campaign promises but when the time comes to fulfill those promises,
they back down. Now we shall show you how President Eisenhower and the Republi-
cans in the House of Representatives killed the Federal Aid to School Construction
Bill. Here are the facts!
The Federal Aid to School Construction Bill, sponsored by Representative Au-
gustine Kelley (D) of Pennsylvania, came out of committee and onto the floor of the is:
House of Representatives on July fifth. Representative Adam Powell, Negro Democrat
amendment to the bill which *
of New York (a supporter of Eisenhower), introduced an
in turn would deny funds to states that did not comply with the Supreme
Court decision on desegregation. Newspapers had declared it a political
certainty that if the Powell amendment were approved, the bill would
be killed by filibustering Southerners. Before the introduction of this
amendment, the members of the House had heard testimony to the
effect that the North and South were both in desperate need of class-
rooms, yet Representative Powell, in order to save face, sponsored the
amendment, forsaking the desperate needs of the American children.
‘As Representative William Dawson, Negro Democrat of Chicago so well
put it, “I would not deny to the children in all the states the opportuni-
ties to obtain their education because the people of a few scattered
states have not yet obeyed the mandate of the Court. When the way is
open to hale them before the Court. This is orderly process of our
American way of life.” The Powell Amendment was approved by a vote
of 225-192. On this vote, 148 Republicans and 77 Democrats supported
the amendment. Now came the final vote on the bill in its entirety.
The National Education Association, which spent $27,726 during the
school bill fight, sent a wire to President Eisenhower urging that he
send a special mesesage to Congress on the school aid bill. President
Eisenhower ignored the request, and remained silent throughout the
floor fight. When the final vote was taken, the bill was defeated by a
vote of 224-194.
Eisenhower Shirks Leadership
Voting for the bill were 119 Democrats and 75 Republicans, while
105 Democrats and 119 Republicans voted against the measure, In other
words, 53° of the voting Democrats supported the bill, and only 39%
of the voting Republicans supported the bill. President Eisenhower, the
leader of the Republican Party, remained silent. The same President
Eisenehower who in his ‘52 campaign made promises on education, the
same President Eisenhower who supported Federal Aid to School Con-
struction at the White House Conference on Education, and the same
President Eisenhower who once again is telling us how much he wants
to increase our number of classrocms. When he had his golden oppor-
tunity to make good his promises on federal aid to education, he wasn't
around. WHERE WAS HE?
It is interesting to note that 97 Republicans who voted for the
Powell amendment did an about face and voted AGAINST THE BILL.
Not a single Democrat who had voted for the Powell amendment voted
against the bill. We would have that needed federal aid if only sixteen
of these 97 Republicans had put the needs of the children before their
own personal political ambitions, The day following the defeat of the
bill, Elsenhower, through his Press Secretary, stated that he would still
work for the passage of school legislation, as le wanted more schools.
Many educators have stated tha. if the President had made the same
statement the day before, the school bill would have been passed
Times Attacks Republicans
Today, we are still in need of “lassrooms. By killing the Federal
Aid to School Construction Bill, the Republicans killed our chances of
improving the situation. Take a look at the opposite paye und see what
our Republican friends have to say about the Federal Aid bill. ‘Then,
compare the facts! The New York Times which is supporting Elsen-
hower, hud this to say about the defeat of the bill in its headline of
July 6, 1956: “Opposition By Republicans Proves Major Surprise.” We
challenge any Republican to deny our charges that the Republicans
killed the Federal Ald to School Construction Bill, Let the facts speak
for theinselves!

Jacob Javits - - -
Fighting Candidate
The success and faith of New
York State's future and well being
can only be insured by the election
of Jacob Javits to the United States
Senate seat left vacant by Herbert
Lehman and the election of a veto
proof Republican legislature. The
latter can be accomplished by the
simple process of increasing the Re-
publican margin in the state senate
by 4 and in the assembly by 10,
Jacob Javits, Fighter Extraordinary
Jacob Javits is the only expe
enced candidate who can best
resent New York State's interests
in Congress while serving the na-
tion. Javits, who was born in 1904,
who was educated at Columbia and
earned his law degree at New York
University, has served in govern-
mental affairs since before World
War IT. He was a major in the war
and served with the Operations
staff on Chemical Warfare.
After the war he entered politics
wholeheartedly and was elected to
the House of Representatives. He
led the pitched battles for in-
creases in social security benefits,
and bills for the enactment of low
cost public housing programs. He
championed the causes of the Eu-
ropean Recovery plan and the
Greek - Turkish Mutual Security
plans. He authored such beneficial
bills as the Omnibus Civil Rights
Act and the Selective Immigration
Act. Javits is a fighter, a leader,
and a man of insurmountable in-
tegrity who must be chosen to rep-
resent New York in the Senate. We
must have a capable fighter for the
Senate. This term will be filled
with such “elected” senators as
Herman Talmadge of Georgia and
Harry Byrd of Virginia.
When Javits is elected he will do
the following things that a good
senator must do. He will speak for
the interest of New York's 16 mil-
lion people. Fight for the objectives
of peace of our nation and its pros-
perity. Work tirelessly for the equal
opportunities of man and serve his
constituents at home in their prob-
lems with the federal government.
If New York is to get a “Good Deal”
in Congress it must have a good
man. The only man capable is Ja-
cob K, Javits, your next United
States Senator, there can be no
other choice in such a crucial situ-
ation

Jacob K. Javits
Read This - - - Then Vote
Directly opposite are summarized the ac-
complishments of the Eisenhower admin-
istration. Although it may be true that
vested interests have not succeeded in gain-
ing everything they wanted, by and large
the Eisenhower administration has moved
in a progressive manner to satisfy the ma-
jority of the people. It is a fact that elec-
tions and votes are not won by platforms
and lists of accomplishments. They are
won by adjectives such as “confidence,”
“security,” “prosperity,” and “peace.” On
the basis of these adjectives, too, Ike should
be reelected.
President Eisenhower is respected and
admired throughout the world. President
Truman was not. Regardless of actual ac-
complishments, or other issues, the people
believe in Ike and in his ability to handle
international crises as they arise. In these
crucial times, when war is emminent, when
the world is a powder keg, more than any-
thing else, the people need and want as
President, a person they can rely on with
absolute confidence. You can call it the
Eisenhower “myth,” or any other name
you want to. The point is that Ike has the
» confidence of the people and the ability to
hold it. Stevenson does not.
The Democrats have resurrected the
usual propoganda (Wall Street domina-
tion, etc.) that held true for a Republican
party of twenty years ago, but does not
hold true today. They have, desperately,
proposed a hodge podge of new ideas with
little continuity or purpose, thought up
only for the sake of something new in their
arthritic campaign. The result this year
is a race that makes Cox’ campaign in
1920 against Harding, look exciting in com-
parison. If there are no issues, no real rea-
sons why the Republicans should be turned
out of office, there is no reason why Steven-
son should be elected. Stevenson may be
a brilliant thinker, and a clever quipster.
However, Stevenson has done little for his
party, he is not a statesman, he has little
practical knowledge of what is going on,
and it is doubtful if he is Presidential ma-
terial. Maybe, the Missouri maestro knew
what he was talking about, after all.
The first voter takes immense pride in
the fact that he is an “independent.” There
seems to be something extraordinarily
brave connected with being able to say, “I
crossed party lines.” The first voter ignores
the fact that our country is great primarily
because of our two party system, and that
active support of parties is necessary to
continuing good government. Connected
with this problem is the issue of Nixon, evi-
dently a dirty word in the American
lexicon.
We could point out that all the “liberal
Republican” yaking for the past twenty
years did little to change the tundamental
character of the Republican Party, that it
is only Eisenhower, moving slowly and
practically that has reduced the demagogic
fringe. We could point out this was done
where it should have been done, within the
party. That as Ike has taken a firm com-
mand of the country, he has likewise taken
a firm command of the party, rebuilt it,
united opposing elements, and produced a
new and better Republican Party.
Nixon represents a considerable element
of the Party, and has the misfortune of s
being the runningmate of an unattackable
candidate. Your own opinion of Nixon, pro
or con, probably has no basis, for the only
thing left out of this continual smearing
of Nixon has been the most important
thing, namely his record, It has not been
the best, but it has been certainly better
than Kefauver, and he has been a con-
scientious Vice President.
Speaking of Kefauver, no one is quite
sure what the good Senator represents, who
is behind him, who was ever behind him,
or what he has ever done constructively.
He might be one of the many evil effects
of television that we hear so much about.
Anyway his record makes Nixon's look like
a resume of proposals from the League of
Women Voters.
On the basis of the record then, we ad-
vise you to cast your vote for the Repub-
lican ticket. Eisenhower has represented
the majority of the people well, In today’s
era we need a damn good President.
It is fortunate for America that we have
one.

The rantings and ravings of one
Adlai Stevenson about the “do-
nothingism” of the present Republi-
can administration and its clouding
of the Hydrogen Bomb issue can
only make the American voter won-
der about this “presidential candi-
date.” Stevenson has one good point,
that is looking at the record,
Record of the Administration
The present Republican adminis-
tration capably headed by Dwight
Eisenhower and Richard Nixon, has
compiled an impressive record that.

)1 The end of the Korean fiasco
plus the fact that not a single Am-
erican soldier is in combat or will
be (i.e, Egypt).
2) Dignity and
again reign in
longer do the 5
Pinkos predominate.
3) The greatest kind of prosper-
ity has been achieved for the Am-
erican people, Employment without
War!
4) The rampant threat of infla-
tion has been halted and the value
of the dollar has been stabilized.
5) Government spending has been
cut by 10 million dollars with a re-
sulting tax deduction of 160 dollars
per family.
6) Controls over wages, prices and
rent have gone the way of all so-
ciulistic practices in a democracy,
Kaput!
7) The free world has been bol-
stered ugainst communism through
the successful efforts of John Foster
Dulles’ brinkmanship and the firm-
ness displayed by the administra-
tion (i.e. The War that is not a War,
Egypt!).
8) The initiation of a program
dealing with the harnessing of the
atom for peaceful uses
9) The advancement of civil
rights for minority groups despite
the threats of such prominent dem-
ocrat “senators” as Hermann Tal-
madge.
These are but a few of the major
accomplishments of an administra-
tion dedicated to the people of the
United States. Even Stevenson can-
not deny that campaigners for both
sides have that healthy, prosperous
look that was missing in 1952.
The Hydrogen Bomb Issue
One of the most controversial is-
ies of the campaign has been the
“usage” of the hydrogen bomb and
its “control.” Stevenson contends
that the United States should stop
making nuclear weapons and con-
centrate on penceful uses. This is
a tremendous statement in propa-
ganda material but that is about
all, Everyone of us realizes that if
we ever for one second stopped
making or lost our lead in nuclear
weapons we would all be taking a
course in Russian Tas a requirement.
This attempt of Stevenson's to ti
and make an issue out of some-
thing prevalent to common defense
is nothing but a baboon's attempt
for publicity
The people of the United States
must and will elect President
Dwight D. Eisenhower and Richard
Nixon to a second term with a Re-

peace, prosperity and stability of the

Bridgeport Next Foe As State Bowlers
Peds Pulverize Oswego
By DAVE MILLER
The full head of steam gathered
by the goal-getters of State was
pointed at Bridgeport, Connecticut
today by Joe Garcia as the Peds
prepare to repeat their blast of last
weekend on the sacred grounds of
Bridgeport tomorrow afternoon.
Six For Seven
Going after their fifth consecu-
tive win at the expense of the
Purple Knights as well as the sixth
win in seven starts, the Purple may
be without the services of Bill
Bonesteel who was injured in a
winning cause Saturday. The half-
back was not sure as the paper went
to press if his ankle will respond to
treatments during the week.
It was Warren Dunham, however,
who personally handed the Lakers
of Oswego their crying towels when
the young upstart in the Junior
Class twice gave the Orange goalie
ulcers in the third period to ac-
count for two of the four State
tallies.
This bit of meanness was pre- *
ceded by the ice-breaking goal of
Carl Maxson who had given the
ball a ride in the first helf to tie
the score. This was followed by
Dunham's two goals and Bobby
Backer's tally to rub sait in the
wound,
Crowd Treated To Defensive Feats
It was more than once that the
peppy crowd was treated to some
great defensive play as halfbacks
Dammer and Delsignore were aided
by Carl Maxson in substituting for
goalie Guglielmone who had wan-
dered so far from home that it be-
hooved the backs to make saves in
preventing the Orange ren from
taking the free score offered them.
The good crowd included a con-
tingent of freshmen who were on
hand to watch the fast moving pair
of ball games as the varsity game
A.A. Board:
Group To Set
Track Meeting
At their meeting Tuesday after-
noon the members of Athletic Ad-
visory Board decided that the
forthcoming meeting to determine
the future of track at State will be
limited to the purpose specifically,
It will not seek to determine the
interest for new spring sports as
was previously reported.
‘The Board feels it must not bury
track before it is dead (if it is) and
therefore feels it must give its en-
thusiasts all the chances available.
Possible Investigation
If the interest does not material-
ize at this meeting the group will
then proceed to investigate other
sports to replace It.
The meeting (to be held the week
of November 11-18 at a day to be
set this Tuesday) will begin with
AA Board expressing thelr feelings
on the situation. Those sincerely in-
terested in participating in track
this spring will be asked to specify
the event holding their interest.
The floor will then be open for
any and all discussion, questions,
suggestions or complaints.

Sayles Upsets Alpha Pi Alpha,
Humps Humble Heights Contingent
Old Man Upset found his way into
the criteria of the Intramural
Football loop this week, as a heavy
Sayles eleven capitalized on a
blocked punt to turn back the pre-
viously undefeated APA squad, 9-6.
Punt Attempt Backfires
In the second period, John “Hoot”
Stefano, filling in at quarterback
for APA in the absence of Bill
Walker, went back to kick from his
own end zone on last down and the
ball connected with the posterior of
his teammate, Brien Mortensen.
Sayles recovered on the five yard
line, and a pass from Lou Call to
Dave Pitkin, two plays later, led to
the initial scoring of the contest.
The extra point went the same way,
from Call to Pitkin.
In the second half, the Madison
Avenue eleven again found them-
selves forced to kick from their own
end zone. This time, Stan Davie was
doing the honors, and though the
kick was blocked, the referees
awarded Sayles two points because
Davie had stepped out of the end
zone. Alpha came back in the dark-
ness of the fourth quarter to score
their only touchdown.
Hail, The Conquering Heroes
In other action this week, the
Humps entered into the win column
via a 12-7 win over College Heights.
For the colorful clowns, Owen
Davis was the shining light as he
hauled in two passes, one to score
a TD, and the other set up the
Humps second score. His touchdown
pass came from Pete Barbegilota for
the Humps’ second tally, which fol-
lowed Frank Swiskey’s tallying pass
to Mike Reilly. The game was mark-
ed by erratic passing, and it was an
interception which led to College
Heights score, as Bob Dallow latch-
ed on to a Hump pass. Ron Frick
sprinted around end to score the
extra point. However, the game is
under protest by College Heights
due to a play concerning whether
or not a Humper tried to run an
intercepted pass out of the end zone
or not.
