have nothing on Nora Giavelli of
the class of '45, This budding bit of
femininity is going out for varsity
tennis, believe it or not!

It seems that someone tentatively
identified as Francis Mullin signed
her name for the freshman tennis
tournament which Intramural
Council is sponsoring to check on
varsity tennis potentialities in the
frosh class, She admits she was a
little flabbergasted to hear of it,
but she regained her usual com-
posure and came back like a real
sport, deciding to leave her name on
the list. “Anyway, I think girls
really should go out for more sports

interest for one thing,” She is not

mer she came in first in a contest
staged at Washington Park.

Harry Kensky, No. 1 man on
State's tennis team, has watched
Nora play. He thinks she is a good
player and will give a good ac-
counting of herself in the tourna-
ment. When asked what he thought
of having a girl on the tennis team,
‘he admitted, “It would be very nice
wouldn't it???",

Art Flax, who is in charge of the
contest, has already posted the sche-
dule for the fifteen freshmen who
signed up (including Nora, of
course) but now expects a last min-
ute rush.

Nora's first round opponent, Gor-
don Baskin, nearly fell over when
he found out whom he was to play.
His only comment was, “She's too
good for me. She's an ace.”

Kay Peterson has already found
out that Nora is also an excellent
bowler and envisions a men and wo-
men’s bowling league. Not a bad
idea. You've started something

Men's Intramural Council is start-
ing the year off in a business-like
fashion. The tennis tournament for|
freshmen is already underway and
the starting date for football has
been tentatively set for Monday.
This starting date depends upon
two factors: (1) how soon Council
will know what fields it may use
and (2) if Dr. Dorwaldt can give all
the men their necessary physical
examinations in time, Nearly one
hundred men have signed up for

The successor of Queen Bea (trice
Dower), is one step nearer being
chosen today as the result of last
Friday's Student Association voting.
Five norimees ha been selected.
one less than last y when a tra-
dition breaking sextet vied for the
regal honors.

Phe girls who were nominated for

Campus Queen as disclosed official-
ly by Myskaria today are as follows
Marion Duffy, Gamma Kappa Phi:
Kay Peterson, pa Delta; Jean-
nette Ryerson, Chi Sigma Theta;

Mildred Swain, Chi Sigma Theta;
and Kay Wilson, Kappa Delta

Myskaria has also announced that
final balloting for Compus Queen
will take place Tuesday in the Com-
mons from 9 to 4 P, M. However.
the identity of the new Queen will
not be disclosed until the coronation
ceremonies on Campus Day which
this year falls on October 18.

True to history the voting last
Friday was unusually light. It is
probably, however, that the increas-
ed interest that comes from a nar-
rowing of the field will greatly swell
the number of students exercising
their right of franchise on Tuesda
Sororities, after looking over the sit-
uation will undoubtedly make an ef-
fort to eliminate the splits in votes
that are obvious from the choice of
nominees listed. If this happens.
the new npus Queen will be
chosen ‘1 day and will await her
crowning by reigning Queen Bea
who will journey here from New
York City to take part in the cere-

formed of the rules governing the

An interesting sidelight, disclosed
by a study of the figures on total

can be made between the figures for

about as a result of the similarity

Looking To The Future

October 4, 1916 found a war-torn Europe
entering a third year of struggle with a mili-
tant Germany triumphant on all fighting
fronts attempting to strike a final blow which
would end the conflagration victoriously. That
date found a nervous, uneasy United States
preparing to select a president, maneuvering
to keep itself out of armed conflict, attempt-
ing to enlarge its armed forces, and slowly
converting its peacetime industry into war-
time readiness.

On October 4, 1916 appeared Volume 1,
Number 1 of the NEWS. The newspaper
came to a student body whose membership
was decreasing as its members dropped out
to enter industry and the armed forces. It
came to a student population whose interests
fluctuated between classwork and war news,
The paper was read by a State College stu-
dent body which looked to the future with
uncertainty.

Under such conditions was the NEWS born
and under such conditions does the NEWS
celebrate its silver anniversary tomorrow—
exactly twenty-five years after the appear-
ance of the first issue. Once again we find a
student body war conscious, decreasing in
enrollment, and distressed by a war-torn
Europe.

Surprisingly enough, the comparison be-
tween the student body of twenty-five years
ago and today does not stop with the preva-
lent frame of mind, During those war years
of struggle and uncertainty, State College
history shows that students made the great-
est gains and progress in the evolution of
student organizations, The student associa-
tion developed into one of the most liberal
organizations of its type, Myskania was or-
ganized, the NEWS became one of the few
college newspapers granted freedom from
faculty censorship of material published, and
numerous other organizations were founded
to fulfill needs of a leading teachers’ college.

The growth of the NEWS itself is indica-
tive of the trend through those years. I[t |
weathered the storm of depr ion years, |
expanded during boom times, tided over cri-
ticisms from numerous sources and raised
itself to the position of leader in student
activity, molder of student opinion, pacer of
student progress, champion for student cav
es, historian of State College. It has been in-
strumental in creating a better impression
of the college amongst the general public.

State College’s student body stands again
in the midst of uncertainty and opportunity,
It must distinguish between privileges and
rights and must accept the responsibilities of
each, Like the NEWS, the student body is
celebrating another birthday but has not as
yet attained its full maturity, A Student
Union, a College Quadrangle, a college ath-
letic field, education for the care of present
facilities, reorganization of present activities
and procedures,—the future possibilities are
limitless. Much is yet to be done!

The Learned Daughter
A. T.

In the second term of Franklin, the king of the land,
a father sent one of his daughters in search of the
Higher Education.

And he took her to his bosom and he spake thus unto
her: My daughter, thou hast reached the time when
thou must leave the home of thy fathers.

‘Thou leavest that thou might enrich thy mind; go
thou, and sit at the feet of thy teachers to hear their
words; nor waste thy time in frivolous pursuits.

‘And so it came to pass that she left the house of her
father and the side of her mother; and she traveled
far and long; and she came unto the Institution of
Higher Knowledge.

She spake unto the students that had been there
before her, and she said: I am come to sit at the feet
of those who teach; lead me among them for I am
eager to start.

And they said: Come with us; we shall lead you.

‘And she went among them; but they took her not
unto the feet of the teachers and the dispensers of
wisdom, but they brought her first to learn of the
Social Life; and she was dismayed.

‘Thou shalt not divert me from my true purpose, she
spake unto them; and she left the livers of the Social
Life.

Now it was the custom in those days for the neo-
phytes of learning to attach themselves unto one of
the many tribes of Hellenes who made their homes
there; and so that each might attach himself to the
right group, the members of the tribes made mighty

| and unceasing efforts.

And this newly-arrived daughter was possessed of
both beauty and a capacity for knowledge; and the
daughters of the Hellenes gathered around her in
mighty numbers, and each of them spake unto her,
saying:

Entreat me not to leave thee, for whither thou goest,
I shall go; and thy friends shall be my friends; and
my tribe shall be thy tribe; and no rival tribe shall
part us, even unto death,

But the daughter listened not unto them, but she
rose saying: I look for the dispensers of wisdom; en-
treat me not to stay with thee, nor follow after me;

And so saying, she left to seek the feet of the dis-

member of the English Department. |

cess of elimination, since he first
started as an engineer.

Roy Sommers:

Life at State is shifting rapidly
into second gear. By Thanksgiving
things ought to be fairly under mo-
tion, By Christmas students will be
getting down to brass tacks. By New
Year's they'll be turning over new
leaves, and during the last few
weeks of January we may even see
a bit of stooging

Meanwhile—the State College
Cavalcade trundles on! Tomorrow
is Activities Day. Once again our
fete-fettered Frosh will find them-
selves crushed to our collective bo-

som as the splendors of our extra-|

curricular program are unrolled be-
fore their enraptured gaze. An or-
ganization for every need—an ac-
tivity for every talent—a club for
every interest—State College has

pensers of wisdom.

Now it came to pass that the young men of the
land heard of her plenteous beauty; and they came
in numbers as multitudinous as the creatures of the
air and the land and the sea; and they spake unto
her, saying; thy wish shall be our command, and thy
desire our task; give us but thy presence and thy smile.

But she frowned upon them and she said: Begone,
for I seek the teachers that I may listen to them; I
see that there is no wisdom to be found here; for
here there is nought but pleasure.

And the young men went away in droves; and they
wrote her down in their books as a drip.

And, unhindered, she went down unto the dispensers
of wisdom, and she sat at their feet.

And four springs followed each other; and at the
end of that time, the gowned graybeards came to her
and spake, saying: Upon receipt of five talents, we
will deliver unto you a parchment testifying that you
have assimilated all the knowledge which hath been
afforded you.

And she paid the five talents; and she took the
parchment; and bearing it in her hand, she traveled
the road to the home of her fathers’ fathers.

And her father spake unto her, saying

Tell me, my daughter, what hast thou learned?

bany very much, as well as State.
“Tm not used to so many skirts—
that's nice," he confesses shyly, and|
mentions that his bad habit of ad-
dressing sses as “Gentlemen”
will soon be overcome

However, Professor Lang seems to|
feel that his great-grandfather
makes better copy than himself,
and it must be admitted that Step-
toe Demerit Hut is worthy of any
writer's attention. Steptoe Demerit
Hut, yes, that is his name, was a
Virginian, suh, and a hard-drinkin
man. He also owned a very notable
horse. When Mr. Hut had finished
an evening of tippling, he climbed
on his horse, and thought no more
The horse then proceeded directly
to the ancestral plantation, up the
front steps of the house, Into the
parlor, und stopped in’ front of
the sofa, at which point Mr. Hut
climbed off and went to sleep, and
the horse returned to the stable
Would that there were more of that
mighty breed! Mr. Hut had another
claim to fame in that he ne
worked a day in his life, even after
the Civil War left him only a truck-
load of Confederate bank-notes

Professor Lang is justly proud of
his great-grandfather, but it should
be mentioned that for so young a
man the degree of Doctor of Philoso-
phy 1s something to be proud of,
However, the Professor makes light
of this accomplishment, and merely
starts talking about Steptoe Demerit
Hut again we can predict |
confidently that State College won't |
take Professor Lang and his accom.|
plishments as lightly.

And the father listened long; and then his patience
overcame him; and he spake unto her, saying:

My daughter, these things are to be found in any
book; what hast thou learned that is not on the
printed page?

And the daughter was silent

And a great grief fell on the old man; and wailing,
he beat his head upon the walls, crying

Oh unfortunate man, thou hast erred; thou hast
made thy daughter a rrot; yea, know thee that now
she is not a woman, for she has neither the grace nor
the charm nor the talents nor the wiles of a woman;
she hath but the words of a book.

And he wailed disconsolately; but his daughter saw
him not, for she was busying herself reciting the things
she had learned that they might be fresh in her mind,
and not fade away from disuse

Moral: More is learned out of books than from them.

Looking To The Future

October 4, 1916 found a war-torn Murope
entering a third year of struggle with a mili-
tant Germany triumphant on all fighting
fronts attempting to strike a final blow which
would end the contlagration victoriously. That
date found a nervous, uneasy United States
preparing to select a president, maneuvering
to keep itself out of armed conflict, attempt-
ing to enlarge its armed forces, and slowly
converting its peacetime industry into war-
time readines

On October 4, 1916 appeared Volume 1,
Number 1 of the NEWS. The newspaper
came to a student body whose membership
was decreasing as its members dropped out
to enter industry and the armed forces. It
came to a student population whose interests
fluctuated between classwork and war news.
The paper was read by a State College stu-
dent body which looked to the future with
uncertainty,

Under such conditions was the NEWS born
and under such conditions does the NEWS
celebrate its silver anniversary tomorrow
exactly twenty-five years after the appear-

student body war conscious, deere

Europe.

Surprisingly enough, the compa
tween the student body of twenty
avo and today does not stop with the preva-
lent frame of mind, During those war years
of struggle and uncertainty, State College
history shows that students made the pgreat-

ison be-

stident organizations. The student associa-
tion developed into one of the most liberal
orvanizations of its type, Myskinia was or.
lized, the WS became one of the fevw
college newspapers aanted freedom frony
faculty censorship of material published, and
Hhmerous ofher organizations were founded
to Tlf needs of a leading: teachers’ college

The growth of the NEWS itself is indies
five of the trend through those years, It
weathered the storm oof depression years,
expanded during boon times, tided over eri-
Nicisms from numerous sources and ised
itself to the position of leader in) student
activity, molder of student opinion, pacer of
student progress, champion for student cxus-
vs, historian of State College. Tt has been in
strumental in creating: a better impression
Of the college amongst the general public

State College's student body stands again
in the midst of dneertainty and opportunity
It inust distinguish between privileges and
rights and must accept the responsibilities of
each. Like the NEWS, the student: body is
celebrating another birthday but has not as
vet attained its full maturity. A Student
Union, a College Quadrangle, a college ath-
letic field, education for the care of present
facilities, reorgar ization of present activities
and procedures,——the future possibilities are
limitless. Much is yet to be done!

The Learned Daughter
A. T.

In the second term of Franklin, the king of the land,
a father sent one of his daughters in search of the
Higher Education.

And he took her to his bosom and he spake thus unto
her: My daughter. thou hast reached the time when
thou must leave the home of thy fathers.

Thou leavest that thou might enrich thy mind: go
thou, and sit at the feet of thy teachers to hear their
words: nor waste thy time in frivolous pursuits.

And so it came to pass that she left the house of her
father and the side of her mother; and she traveled
far and long: and she came unto the Institution of
Higher Knowledye

She spake unto the students that had been there
before her, and she said: Fam come to sit at the feet
of those who teach: lead me among them for [am

And they said: Come with us; we shall lead you.

And she went among them; but they took her not
unto the feet of the teachers and the dispensers of
wisdom, but they brought her first to learn of the
Social Life: and she was dismayed

Thou shalt not divert me from my true purpose, she
spake unto them: and she left the livers of the Soe!
Lite

Now it was the custom in those days for the neo-
phytes of lear tach themselves unto one of
the many tribes of Hellenes who made their homes
there; and so that each might attach himself to the
right group. the members of the tribes made mighty
and unceasing efforts

And this newly-arrived daughter was possessed of
both beauty and a capacity for knowledge: and the
daughters of the Hellenes gathered around her in
mighty numbers. and each of them spake unto her
saying
ntreat me not to leave thee. for whither thou goest
T shall go; and thy friends shall be my friends; and
my tribe shall be thy tribe: and no rival tribe shall

Forum Discusses

NYA Reduction

Outside Part-time Jobs Cause
Decrease in Appropriation;
Dean Begins Interviews

‘The $500 cut in the NYA appro-|

priation for State College will be

ly alleviated by allotments di-

d from other colleges where
NYA funds are less necessary. This
fact was brought out last Tuesday
by Claude Chauncey, district NYA
representative, in a Forum panel
discussion investigating the cut in
NYA funds, Miss Sara T. DeLaney
Dean of Women, A. Harry Passov
and Evelyn Smith, seniors partici-
pated,

The Youth Administration's point
of view was explained by Chauncey.
“The average appropriation for
each school, . “is determined
by the enrolln
Part-Time Jobs Increase

Last year 9.1% of State's students
were granted NYA money; this year
the allotment fund has been reduc-
ed to 7.5% of the enrollment, The
reason for such a reduction is the
fact that part-time jobs outside the
college have become more numerous,
thus eliminating, in many cases,
the need of NYA aid. Since the
NYA allotment has been decreaesd.
Miss DeLaney has inaugurated a
system of personal interviews in or-
der to determin» which of the NYA
applicants really need jobs
Forum Drafts Constitution

The remainder of the Forum
meeting Was devoted to explaining
the changes made in the organiza-
tion. These include the drafting of
a new constitution and the payment
of $.25 dues. In order to acquaint
new students with the Forum, a
handbook, under the supervision of
Will Muller, '43, will be published.
Students, wishing to purchase the
“Reader's Digest” may do so through
the Forum at fifteen cents per copy

Members of the Forum will make
a trip to see the Times Union's ex-
hibit of the Freedom of the Press,
at the State Education Building
The exhibit will open October 1, and
close October 8.

CARI,

Purpose: “To publicize the athle-
tics and athletes of the New York
State College for Teachers.”

With the penning of these exalt-
ed words, Bill Ryan, '39, standing
before a small group of men meet-
ing in Room 100 Draper formed the
Men's Athletic Association Press
Bureau. It was indeed a much-
needed organization, for many na-
tive Albanians have confessed that
in past years they were not even
aware of the existence of State.

Organizations of this kind are
to be found in all the major col-
leges of the country. In contrast
with the altruistic services of our
athletic press bureau, those public-
izing sports in other colleges are
well-rewarded financially for their
efforts,

Since that afternoon in the fall
of '38, MAA Press Bureau has paid
rich dividends for the small amount
allotted to it by the student associa-
tion.

It contacts home-town newspapers
of the men participating in sports
and endeavors

GINNY
Dear Nora and Everybody,

It more than surprised me to hear
that a young female had entered
the men’s intramural tennis tourna-
ment, It hurt my pride mostly, I
guess; it would seem that the wo-
men's tennis tournament hadn't
been given enough publicity. Then
again it would seem, Nora, that you
thought the women's tournament
would be too much of a snap for
you and you wanted stronger comp-
etition.

But, Nora, your action brings up
a question, Last week your unprece-
dented step was the subject of com-
ment in the men’s sports column
and in a feature article writen by
one of the men sports writers—both
of which were unprecedented also.
Does this foreshadow a consolid
tion of MAA and WAA? Does it
mean a co-ed athletic program?

If it does, it wouldn't be the first
time. During a talk with Miss Min-
nie Scotland of the Biology depart-
ment and an alumna of State, I
learned a little about the time when
the men and women played hand-
in-hand.

However, despite the fact that
men were outnumbered more than
ten to one, their activities ate a
bigger hate in the Association’y
budget. (They had budget trouble
even in those days.)

Well, in the Fall of 1911 the wo-
men decided to become independent
and form their own organization.
In this way they hoped to be able
to get a little more money for
themselves, Thus started Girls’ Ath-
letic Association or Women's Ath-
letic Association, as it is now
known, Miss Scotland, who was
captain of basketball, was one of
the founder and held “some major
office.” Further investigation re-
vealed she was president.

‘The girls had to pay a fee of
twenty-five cents to gain member-
ship, instead of becoming members
automatically upon payment of a
student tax as we do today. They
wore small round silver pins with
“AA" on it to designate their mem-
bership. Those also were the days
when the unappealing black cotton
stockings, voluminous bloomers,
middy blouses constituted the gym
costumes,

We have come a long way from
the times and activities of yester-
|year. With the freedom of the mo-
|dern gym outfit has come greater
freedom in choice and number of
sports. But, Nora, even thirty years
ago, tennis was one of the big fea-
tures of the women's program.

And It Still Goes

—The First Editorial from the First State CoLLtece News—

The committee on publishing a weekly newspaper respectfully
submits to you this, the first issue of the Strate Coutece News, open-
ing thus, we believe, a new chapter in the history of State College,
‘To the many who have been entirely unaware of the coming of this
journal and to those who do not clearly understand its mission we
direct this message.

This great United States of ours was once a small nation. With
a steadily increasing population the boundaries of civilization were
gradually extended, until at last the Republic reached from ocean
to ocean. But the growth of the nation presented a possible danger,
a danger that was threatening the very life of our contry—the
danger of a crumbling nationalism, the danger of a growing section-
alism,the danger, therefore, of a country divided, of a nation falling
apart.

Then, almost at the crisis, in the march of progress came in-
fluences that revolutionized the whole political and economic status
of the Republic. The rails of the railroads and the wires of the
telegraph and telephone were stretched across the fields, the hills,
and the rivers of the land, from the East to the West, from the
North to the South. These bands of metal bound together the
extremes of the country, one with the other, making the hetro-
geneity, into which the nation had grown, a solid unit, These
modern agencies of communication brought the millions of our
country into direct touch with one another—made the whole nation
a single political and industrial family,

This great State College of ours was once a small College. With
a steadily increasing number of students, courses and activities were
gradually extended, until today the boundaries of the student-life
inclose stretches from the Chemistry Club to the Promethean
Literary society, from the athletic field to the auditorium, from the |
library to the gymnasium, from the senior to the freshman and so
on, from one extreme to the other, touching upon scores of indepen-
dent groups, cach with a different interest and none visibly con-
nected with another. The close observer must discover now the
presence of that same threatening danger in our student-life which
history shows to have once existed in the United States—-a decided
trend toward sectionalism and away from centralization. We have
by no means reached a but there is a great need for some
means by which there can be brought to bear upon our student body
a similar influence to that which is being exerted upon the nation
by the railroads, the telegraph and the telephone. There has
arisen a need for a means of bringing each extreme of our student
life into direct touch with the other, of making this hetrogeneity
into which we have grown a solid unit, a single collegiate family.
What better means than a newspaper, such as the State CouLnor
News to achieve the desired results?

Tn it will be pictured with insistent regularity and in installments
quickly following one another, the history of each unit of our college
life. In its columns you will feel the pulse beat of the student body.
It will be as a mirror standing at an angle into which a body peering
will not see his own, but rather the image of another,

‘Thus do we launch this journal on its course, with every confidence
that it fills a long felt want and that its policy:

To make each faction of our student organization know and appre-
ciate all others, to uphold the maintenance of fraternal regard |

and friendly rivalry among all, to work for cooperation between | N:

all seetions and for the solidification of the now separately wasted
energies in the promotion of a real, distinct, and enthusiastic spirit
of loyalty to State College, will in time do much toward placing the
record of our achievements outside of the classroom on a plane in
keeping with our standing as America’s leading teachers college.

Member Tells
Story of NEWS

“The present members of the staff

of the Srate CouLece News have it
pretty easy compared to the way the
members of the first staff had it.”
These were the words spoken at an
interview with Mrs. Amos Prescott,
175 Whitehall Road, Albany, Mrs,
Prescott is the former Lillian Magil-
ton, '18, staff member of the first
News,

The idea of a State College news-
paper was born on Moving-Up Day,
May 4, 1916. At this time, in their
class stunt, the class of 1918 pre-
sented an allegorical charade called
“A Student's Dream,” Written by
Alfred Dedicke, '18, the play expres-
sed the idea that the perfect ven-
ture would be the creation of a col-
lege newspaper. Dr, Abram Bru-
bacher, then President of the col-
lege, was very much impressed with
the skit and called Dedicke the next
day. Dr. Brubacher said that he had
also considered the creation of a
newspaper and that he was willing
to help Dedicke undertake it.

At that time there was no student
tax, and the main problem facing
the students was a financial one,
Dedicke, together with Miss Magil-
ton, found that the cost of one is-
sue would be approximately $38.

At a class meeting on June 2,
which Dr, Brubacher attended, a
committee was appointed with De-
dicke as chairman for the purpose
of issuing a newspaper.

The name State Coutuce News

| was chosen principally because of its

briefness, and the first issue ap-
peared on Friday, October 4, 1916,
The venture was financed with
the sale of subscriptions which sold
for $1.50 a year, Advertisements
were not solicited for the first few
sues. Dr, Harry W, Hastings was
of great assistance from the start
as an advisor; and instead of the

State Campus Expands to Accompany Continuous Enrollment Growth

Original Buildings Include

In 1916 they had a State College,
but they didn’t have Page or Rich-
ardson or Milne, SCT then consist-
ed only of Draper which housed the
administration offices, the library,
and classrooms; Husted, the science
building; and Hawley, the auditor-
jurh and gymnasium. The college
enrollment grew and by 1916, the
auditorium was crammed every
week—there was no library f
“studying"-—-a schedule of empty
classrooms was published and stu-
dents spent their free periods in
one of these.

Extensive Planning in 1919

In 1919 the planning of three new
buildings began. They stood com-
pleted in 1927, A faculty committee

From Small Beginnings

Who would think now that the
dignified and majestic Myskania
had such humble beginnings? Today
the tapping of Myskania is the most
important part of the Moving-Up
Day program.

There was no pomp or ceremony
when the first Myskania was an-
nounced, There was no excitement
or eager expectation on the part
of the student body on that day in
April, 1917. Miss Wallace, who
teaches In State College today, was
a member of the first Myskania,
and she wasn't even there when the
names were announced, No one
realized what a memorable day it
was, No one foresaw what an im-
portant part Myskania was to play
In the future life of State College,
Second Tapping Cruel

Shades of Captain Kidd! The tap-
ping of the second Myskania was al-
most cruel, While a pianist played
vigorous music, the entire junior
class marched across the stage, and
as they passed by, the out-going
Myskanta pulled out of line those
chosen to be on the in-coming My-
skania, (Imagine the feelings of the
juniors who had expected to be
tapped as they marched back to
thelr seats.) That was adding in-
jury to insult. The next year the
present method was inaugurated,

The early Myskania were chosen
by the faculty and out-going My-
skania, Since 1920, however, the fa-
culty has had no voice in choosing
members, The student body elects
three members, the rest being chog-

Future Service Destiny
Of the NEWS—Delaney

On the event of the twenty-
fifth anniversary of the News,
Sara Tod DeLaney, Dean of
Women, extended congratula-
tions to the paper for its ser-
vice in the past and in anticipa-
tion of its service in years to
come. Her complete letter reads:

“The completion of an indi-
vidual's twenty-fifth year with
an organization _ frequently
marks his approaching retire-
ment, so that it is fitting to
lcok to the past and to con-
sratulate him upon work well
done. On the contrary, the
[wenty-fifth Anniversary of
the Strate Counce News is a
twenty-fifth birthday, an occas-
ion on which it is fitting to
congratulate the staff not so
much upon its past achieve-
ments but upon the opportuni-
ties it will have in the future
for even greater service to the
College. Reliable reporting, un-
biased presentation of fac
telligent and dependable
sion of student opinion, service
to the best interest of the Col-
lege—for these we shall look to
the News as it begins its second
quart ntury.

[Numerous Administrators Reign

Since Establishment of News

During the twenty-five years of
the News’ existence there have been
many changes in the administration
of State College. In 1916, the first
y of the publication of the News,
Dr. Abram R. Brubacher was presi-
dent, Dr, Harlan Horner, Dean, and
Miss Anna E. Pierce, Dean of Wo-
men,

One of the most loved of all fig-
ures that have been in the college
was Dr. Brubacher, Always work-
ling for the good of State College
and its students, perhaps his big-
gest contribution was getting State
transformed from a normal to a lib-
eral arts college, Without him,
there would never have been a
Men's Athletic Association, Under
him, the Richardson, Page, and
Milne buildings were added to the
college.

Until the time when he left to
become Associate Commissioner of
Education, Dr. Horner acted as
‘Dean, He was more than well lik-
rd by the students, who were in-
stantly put at ease by his winning
personality and ready sense of
of humor, With Dr. Brubacher, he
served on the board of directors
lthat added the new buildings.
Miss Pierce probably did more to-

housing conditions than anyone
connected with State. She was the
instigator of the housing inspection
plan. Her favorite belief was co-
operative housing. She and Mr.

group house for men. Miss Pierce

herself ran a group house for wo-
men.

Succeeding Miss Pierce at the
post of Dean of Women was Miss
Helen Hall Moreland, who also de-
voted herself unselfishly to the bet-
terment of housing conditions for
students, She continued and im-
proved the co-operative houses
started by Miss Pierce. She was
interested in all student affairs, and
spent a large part of her time with
students in their own homes. A
tall, statuesque person, always per-
fectly groomed, it was her personal
appearance that always impressed
a student on first meeting her.

Dr. Metzler was the successor to
Dr. Horner as Dean. Fundamentally
a scholar, he did a great deal in
raising the scholastic standing of
State.

The present administrative staff
is headed by Dr. John M, Sayles,
acting president, noted for his long-
range building program, Miss Sara
T. DeLaney, Dean of Women, fs the
motivating force behind the reform
in the college social program. Dr.
Milton G, Nelson, perhaps the clos-
est friend of all the students, is
Dean of Students.

“The situation arising from
the low sale of student tax
tickets remains the same," Ed-
ward L. Cooper, faculty advisor
to the Student Board of Finance,
stated this week. There will be
a further waiting period during
which students who have not
purchased their tickets may do
so before any cut or other such
move will be made.

A list of non-payees has been
turned over to the Dean of Wo-
men's office. A possibility that
these students may be dropped
from college is being considered.

lems of student affairs, and took |
steps toward setting up a mechani-
cal means for such cooperation.
The new program provides for a
discussion committee composed of |
twenty-one student leaders and/
from six to ten faculty and admin-
istration members. This group in-|
cludes the President of the College |
and the Dean of Women. Dr. Sa
les has offered to chairman the d

cussions if the committee feels that)
his services will be required. |

Source of Information

According to Myskania, the pur-
pose of the move is to create an
information source upon which to
rely for constructive actions tend-

ing toward a better EY

relationship.

The committee will have no pow-
er of action, merely that of recom-
mendation.

made with the idea of increasing
the participation of the faculty in
matters of student government. It

Dorms to Cradle State Dance;
Reid, Grattan Orchestras Billed

By Janet Baxter

Maybe it’s not the first. time in
the history of State College that an
All-State dance has been held, but
the idea is new enough for Paul

the event, to dub it “the

Hop, but the decision to
make the dance a four-
class affair may prove
better yet. It should at
least: bring out a better
crowd, since it is every
student's dance.

Four yeurs ago, the
Class of 1941 held an
All - State dance, thus
planting the seed of an
idea which takes root again today
With the present committees gun-

The fact that All-State dance ts
semi-formual will register with many
students. The price factor must not
be overlooked either; tickets are
to be sold for one dollar plus ten

Finance Rewhten
Assembly Topic

As a result of a recommendation
by Myskania, Student Council will
introduce in today's assembly a
resolution for an appropriation to
pay for the services of an auditor
who will periodically examine the
books of all Student Association or-
ganizations, This resoluton was pre-
ceded by a suggestion from My-
skania that Student Board of Fin-
ance determine the possibilities of
setting up a uniform system of
bookkeeping for all organizations.

A Myskania spokesman explained
that the proposed pian to stand-
ardize the bookkeeping system has
for its purpose the elimination of
budget padding. The system will al-
so stop the “prevalent practice of
keeping records on scraps of paper
or of not keeping records at all.”
This lack of competence has pre-
vented Finance Board from accur-
ately tabulating expenditures and
Josses, A standard system will keep
a check on the finances of every

organization; in addition the audit) §

will provide a basis for the determ-
ing of all future budgets.

Another resolution will be intro-
duced in today's assembly by Mil-
dred Mattice, , Secretary of Mu-

Re-

State'|To Hear
Famed Pianists
In Duo Concert

Fray, Braggiotti Will Render
Novel Type of Concert,
Duo Pianist Pioneers

Music Council will present the
world-famed piano duo, Jaques Fray
and Mario Braggiotti in the coun-
cil's initial concert on Wednesday
at 8:30 P.M. in the auditorium of
Albany High School. They bring
to State College students a new
type of program, ranging from the
classics of Bach to the more mod-
ern melodies of George Gershwin.

Fray and Braggiotti have per-
formed before crowned heads in
Europe, winning international fame
by their nimble fingers. The duo
was formed in Paris eleven years ago
at the French Conservatory, where
the two artists merged their talent
and pioneered in the field of duo-
pianism,

Ability Widely Acclaimed

Their debut at the Salle Plevel in
Paris in 1928 showed the many pos-
sibilities open to twenty talented
fingers working in unison, They in-
troduced humor to the concert stage
in 1930 when they rocked the au-
dience at Carnegie Hall in New
York City with take-offs on famous
composers using Yankee Doodle as
the principal theme.

Newspaper critics are unanimous
in their praise of the two. Jeanette
Ryerson, '42, President of Music
Council, said: “I think we're pretty
lucky, having a chance to hear two
such good performers, Their pro-
gramhas lots of appeal for every-
body—from lovers of the classics to
jitterbugs and swing fans. Why,
even Joe Levin—athletic, mascu-
line Joe—says he can't wait for the
fifteenth to roll 'round—(he heard
them last year here in Albany) and
Perlman will give you the opinion
of the other group. Anyway, see
Joe and Bernie for incentive, then
come yourself and see why they're

enthusiastic!”

‘ax Holders Admitted Free

Holders of student tax tickets
may see the concert free of charge.
General admission to others is sev-
enty-five cents, with reserved seats
selling for $1.10.

General chairman of the concert
is Jeanette Ryerson, and assisting
her are: George Kunz, 43, Max
Bernard Perlman and Al-
seniors, publicity; Ira
Hirsch, ‘42, and Jean MacaAllister,
‘43, printing; Mildred Mattice, '43
and Carmelina Losurdo, '44, fresh-
man tryouts; and Florence Hal-
breich, ‘42, finances,

De Laney Form Letter Causes
Error in Parent Understanding

By Andrew Takas

Recipients of disturbed letters |

from their parents at home, State
College women this week found the
reason In a misunderstanding of a
form letter sent to the homes of all
the women of the college by the
Dean of Women, Sara 'Tod DeLaney.
On September 29, Dean DeLaney
released a letter explaining that
itten permission from home was
required every time that a college
woman desired to spend a night or
a weekend away from her official
residence,
In part, the Dean's letter read:
“Women students who do not live
with their parents or other members
of their family must secure permis-
sion from their Head Resident or
House Mother for all overnight ab-
sences Tt is necessary that
these persons know that the absence
meets with the approval of the
student's parents and such approval
should be sent in writing directly to
the person in charge of the house

up to|men's colleges or to the homes of

where your daughter ts living
= For all overnight visits to

-Jattention to this

will be necessary to have a state.
ment from you covering that parti-
cular absence,"

Misinterpreting the letter as a
personal warning of the misbehay-
jor of their daughter, many parents
immediately sent letters to Albany
inquiring as to the meaning of the
Dean's message.

One freshman received a note from
her mother saying,

“T have always trusted you dur-
ing your high schooi years, and now
you are on your own, Can't you take
yourself, Are you going
astray?”

The personal interpretation ap-
plied by many parents to the form
letter is clearly brought out by this
letter from the father of a senior:

“Sara T, DeLaney, Dean of Wo-
men, sent us a letter referring to
overnight absence at college. Why
is the Dean writing to us about your
staying overnight? We don't know
why she had any reason to call our
matter. We and
you know that you aren't supposed

men students, or for trips on which |
the student will stay in a hotel, it|

to stay out late or to stay overnight
at any time or place.
“Please let us know at once,”
