STATE COLLEGE NEWS, FRIDAY. MARCH 14, 1941

Last week the Siena News pub-
lished a “State College Edition”—
a paper devoted almost completely
to the panning of this column, the
varsity cagers, and anyone who
thinks this institution amounts to
more than the proverbial row of
ns,
Mt ‘all started back on February 20,
when the junior members of the
Strate Couteae News staff took over
the reins for the traditional Prom
week issue. On that date, yours truly
relinquished his pen to his three as-
sistant sports editors, who split the
column in three and_ proceeded
air their views. Phil Kaufman was
among the trio, and it so happened
that he chose to comment on Siena
at a time when all was not going well
with the Loudonville basketeers.
Phil chided Siena for not living up
to the high reputation which pre-
season publicity accorded the team.
He emphasized the then recent de-
feats at the hands of St. Bonaven-
ture's, Brooklyn Poly, and Canisius.
‘To clinch the point that the spiel licking the varsity 40-34, ‘The
ywerhouse seemed to be short-cir-
vied, he reflected briefly on the
sudden appearance of two new fresh-
men to the Siena varsity roster, men
who to all appearances were put
there to spark the team.
The Siena News apparently re-
strained itself until after the State
slaughter at Hackett to loose the bar-
rage.
One accusation, in the form of a
spontaneous (?) letter to the Editor,
charged the News with insulting
Green and Gold players. Personally
we can’t see how criticism of a rival
team can be construed as an insult.
Sports pages all over the nation are
full of such chiding of athletic
groups.

Arnie Ellerin and Les Gerdts are
playing their last intercollegiate ball

by Gene Guarino
It took a class like 44 to do a/
thing no other class has done in at
least ten years. They have piled up
a perfect basketball record—no wins
in eleven starts.
On several occasions their oppon-
ents came mighty close to spoiling
that record. For instance, Plattsburg
won by only four points, Albany
Academy by a mere three points, and
Albany Business College really threw
a seare into the boys when they won
their game by only a single field
goal.
Frosh Puzzled
How the frosh were able to main-
tain such a record has puzzled every-
one—including the frosh themselves.
At the beginning of the season they
lost because of inexperience, of
course. But as the season went on,
and the same boys played together
Frosh Record Most Unusual
sketball Annals
ho contributed their three or five
points each per game. One reason
for the freshmen’s unusual success
fs that they were able to time their
scoring so perfectly that they never
outscored their opponents.
‘As the season matured it seemed
inevitable that their record would
be broken, but the hand of fate inter-
vened, Bill Forrest suffered a leg
injury in the Union game and was
unable to take part in the last three
matches.
Sophomore Brotherly Love ae
‘The sophomores gave proof o'
their “brotherly” pride in the fresh-
men's record when they won the
rivalry game Saturday night, 28 to
18, The six sophomores on the varsity
played the first half of the game and
chalked up a score of 19 to 9 at halt-
time. Sophs who had never played
together before engaged the frosh in
the second half and fought hard to
game after game, this inexperience
was eliminated.
‘Were they able to uphold their rec-
ord because no one on the team
could score? Look at Bob Comb's
pointage. In nine intercollegiate
games he scored 86 points to average
9.6 points per game. In five differ
ent games he scored 11 points or
more. Then there is Bill Forrest. He
scored 15 points in one game and 12
in another. Let’s not discount Bill
Marsland, Bill Miller, and Red Evans
keep the freshmen’s record intact.

Attention All Sophs:
Class Party Tonight
Do you have any suppressed
desires? If you have, come to the
Commons tonight where “demo-
cracy" will ban all further sup-
pression. Jean Tracy is “engin-
eering” a sophomore vic party
from 8:30 till 11:30,
The theme, “suppressed de-
sires,” is the brainchild of one
Mickey Adams, and is designed
particularly for the girls. The
idea is that if some girl has a
“suppressed desire" to dance
with a certain fellow, she may
cut in on his partner without
fear of being socially incorrect.
Of course, it will be perfectly
permissible for fellows to cut al-

Headlines in the NEWS
Headlines have a three-fold function; they ad-|
vertise the story, summarize the news, and beautify
the page. The well-written headline is an advertise:
ment for its story. A headline which does not
arouse interest at first glance defeats its purpose.
“A perfunctory, careless, or sloppily written headline

Budget slashing and budget mak-

would like to save Is time.

proclamations"—I will explain. On
Friday, March 7, some thirteen an-
nouncements were made in assem-

were important—all were things
that the student body should know
abcut, but they were a wanton|
waste of time, Reason? Ten of these

“design for living” program, initiated
by the Graffs approximately four

Look, Think, Act —
The Commentstate————
To us at State College, as to everyone else, there are
some things that are unavoidable. One of these things
is taxation, Unless we choose to live entirely apart
from any sort of allied-curricular activity, we must
pay for it in the form of a blanket tax—the well-
known student tax.
There is no doubt that taxing the student body to
provide funds for our activities is a wise and neces-
sary move. The point that is always open to discus-
ston, however, is how much money to collect and
how bo expend that money to get the most benefit
cut of it.
Such a controversy faces the State College Student
Association, For many years, a student tax has been
collected, a budget has been planned, appropriations
have been made—and, invariably, the collections have
fallen short of expectations, Every year, almost with-
out fail, organizations are forced to take a cut in
their appropriations.
This year, the budget problem has become even
more acute than usual. Registration at State has
been constantly dropping. According to
Registration all estimates, a collection of not more
Constantly than $10,000 can be expected for next
Declining year. The budget this year was $12,997.60,
It is obvious that a cut of almost three
housand dollars must be made.
Several courses are open to the budget planners,
Either a little can be taken off each individual appro-
priation, or some activities can be entirely eliminated.
If it is deemed unwise to make any cuts in the app
priations, the individual assessment can be increased
two or three dollars. It is this which must be decided.
No matter what is dene, no matter which course is
taken, it is the student who either suffers or benefits
through the decision. It is for this reason that an ef-
fort is being made this year to give the students of
the college the fullest opportunity to participate
in the formation of their budget.
Friday, April 4, an open hearing cn the budget will
be held in Assembly. At that time the members of
of the student body will be able to
eritict: lo propose, to defend, or to
question. It is theirs to decide which
items in the budget are worth retain-
ing, which can be most easily dropped,
which provide the most good for the greatest number
af people, which provide training that will be most
useful after graduation—in short, the Student Asso-
ciation is the policy-determining body in this matter.
The changes which are necessary may be more ap-
parent to some 1) '\bers of the association than to
others. It is only 1... that everyone be given an op-
portunity to investigate the finances of Student Asso-
ciation. To give thxm an opportunity to do so, a re-
cord of expenditures and a copy of the tentative
budget will be made available before the April 4 hear-
ing. In an effort to make budget reductions as fair as
possible this year, Finance Board has asked all organ-
izations to submit itemized budgets.
No matter what else can be said, there is one
point that deserves all the emphasis that it can be
given—the fact that the students who
draw up their budget are the ones who
in the final analysis have the most to
gain or lose by it. If a budget is passed
which is impossibly high, the organiza-
tions receiving funds from it will be forced to curtail
thelr program of activities when the inevitable cut
comes, If the tax Is raised and not enough people are

Jable to pay it, again a cut will result. If some padded
budgets are allowed to pass, then other activities will
suffer.
The question is being put squarely up to the Student
Association. Both information and the opportunity
for expression is being given it. -
Whatever comes of the budget this year is entirely
up to its members, They must make a decision. Since

PTEB Releases
Survey Report
Of Employment!
Stress Next Year To Be Put On
Students Needing Jobs To
Pay School Expenses
The report of the employment
survey which was released yester-
day by A. Harry Passow, ‘42, direc-
tor of the Part Time Employment
Bureau, revealed that not more than
33% of the student body works out- |
side of college. According to Passow,
the figure comes as a surprise. Up
to the present time th2 Bureau has
been working on the assumption
that 509 to 60% of the students
work—a figure obviously too high.
The report was released as the re-
sult of a questionnaire which was
distributed to the student body last
December. With the report was is-
sued the warning that the results
may not be entirely representative
since only 644 students. approx!-
mately 60% of the undergraduates
returned questionnaires,
50 Earn All Expenses
Interesting also was the revela
tion that only 50 students repor:cd
that they earn all their college ex-
pensts. Many of the students, how-
ever, Who are earning a par of the!
expenses stated that working was
essential to their remaining in col-
found at the college. At the me
time it seems that there are some
people on our campus who are in
desperate need of aid,” Sara Tod
DeLaney, Dean of Women, com-
mented, adding that an effort was
being made to util the job-find-
ing agencies at the college to aid
those who were in real need of
moncy instead of the students who
were working merely to earn extra
spending money
PTEB Change 1
Passow, who directed the tabula-
tion of the answers to the question-
naire, stated that in view of the re-
plies, the basis for the operation of
the PTEB next year will have to be
changed, with a greater stress plac-
ed on finding work only for those
students for whom it is a necessity.
The PTEB staff of Ethel Williams,
"41, Pete Fulvio, "42, and Harold
Feigenbaum, '43, did the tabulating.
“Many times this year students re-
fused to accept jobs which were of-
fered to them because they did not
like the work, and did not need it
badly enough to accept,” he said.
“Next year, if plans work out, this
will not happen.”
Mention was also made of the
fact that next September an ad-
ded burden will be imposed on the
PTEB because of the possibility that
NYA aid will be reduced.
