STATE COLLEGE NEWS, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1943
Bert Kiley
The “Letters to the Editor” de-
partment continues to voice the
people's squawks. That is a healthy
symptom. We are glad the public's
attitude towards the News has
changed since a few weeks ago,
when the News was “dared” to
print a letter criticizing the old
railroading tactics of getting appro-
priations out of the Student Asso-
ciation.
The apathy of the past few years
seems to be dropping astern and
some of the “rebels” have been
pleasantly surprised to find that
there are others who think along
the same lines,
It is natural that the News should
be a clearing house for ideas of a
controversial nature. In the past,
all too few people have been heard.
That sad state can be outgrown,
Free expression of ideas is not nec-
essary to an apparently successful
society; but it is necessary to the
ideal democratic society.
Tolerance Dangerous
The idea of “tolerance” can be a
dangerous one in a democracy.
Tolerance, in the form of conde-
scension, Is conceit or bigotry. We
do not “tolerate” our equals.
Tolerance in the form of accept-
ing conditions or ideas distasteful
to us is to give the opposing forces
the illusion of a unaminity of opin-
jon that really isn’t there. They
cannot then be blamed for proceed-
ing with their program.
So come on, characters, give with
your beefs. You have the Friday
assemblies for your vocal effor
you have the News for your Swif-
tian pens.
Ideas Needed
Lest we give the impression that
all we seek is complaints, we should
also like to stir your brain cells to-
wards a little creative criticism, Our
present setup here at State is not
the ultimate in organization. We
do not mean that as an understate-
ment, but as a call for steps that
may bring us closer to the ideal
undergraduate society. Don't sell
your ideas short—they may be jus
what we need.
Shakespeare Exposed
That amazing fellow, Bill Shakes-
peare, possessed a facet of his na-
ture that has laid uncovered thi
many years. We hesitate to cls
close this information, since it
might lead to the banning of Bill's
works in Boston and might discour-
age him from further writing.
Well, much as we hate to do this,
we feel it our duty to tell on Bill,
lest the young of the land come
under his insidious influence.
SHAKESPEARW WAS A HORSE
PLAYER!
Consider the evidence. There is
a plug by the name of Bolingbroke
who saunters casually on occasion
around some of our leading tracks,

Margo Byrne:
Each Fall one of those questions
which comes up for mulling over by
a certain few of us, is who among
the freshmen are likely candidates
for WAA leadership.
Opinions are based on various
factors, mainly individual ability,
spirit and popularity. Perhaps it is
not strictly a matter of ill in
sports. In fact, it most certainly is a
case of that too often repeated blurb
“you get out of a thing exactly what
you put into it.”
In view of this let's take a look
at the Class of ‘47. One of the girls
who iias made herself conspicuous
for leadership is Gloria Baker, WAA

Status of Student Funds
The Board of Audit and Control
has established a precedent in the
control of the College budget. On
December 4, there will appear on
the bulletin board, a form which
will inform the student body of the
status of its funds. This form with
subsequent variations will be pub-

The procedure in the affairs of
the Board comes as a result of the

it was confronted, The form is so

Name Undergoes Change
Student Association voted last
Spring that the organization be
known as the Board of Audit and

veniences which arose regarding
official stationery and checkbooks, a
proposed amendment to change the
name to the original, Finance Board,
has been tabled and will be consider-
ed in the first assembly following

The Board reports that delinquent

6 students have yet lo pay. Mr.
George York, faculty adviser to the
Board, requests that these 36 will

near future.

Classical Club Seeks Old Clothes for Greece
Our illusion of Greece as being
merely the birthplace of civilization
has been altered to include a deep
respect and gratitude for the people
as individuals. We must now realize
that il was due to their two months
of dying for preservation of their
ideas against unsurmountable odds
that made possible the defeat of the
Nazis in Africa and enabled us to
adequately help Russia prepare for
the renewed Nazi offensive:
The German Armiuvs of Occupa-
tion have burned (wo hundred Gre
villages. The most fortunate of these
homeless people are now secking
shelter in tents. In their reckless
plundering the Germans have not
only destroyed the centers of culture
and learning but have also pillaged
the food and clothing. The dire
effects of three years of malnutri-
tion have left human skeletons suf-
fering from maleria, Uubercul
rickets and other diseases.
Al the present time the Greek War
Relief Association is carrying on
by Hamilton and Kadish-—
a drive for old clothing throughout
the United Here at State
the Chissical Club is sponsoring the
drive in coordination with the Nat-
ional Organization, In view of this
destruction the need for clothing is
how greater Unan ever before
‘The following types of clothing
are particularly needed: woolen suits,
couts, jackets, skirts, trousers, knit-
ied underwear in good condition,
sweaters, dresses, all types of child-
ren’s clothing, shoes, ang blankets
The price of the stock that is
available in Greek shops is beyond
the reach of almost everyone, A
sweater may be bought for the equi-
valent of eighty dollars. A pair of
shoes with wooden soles sells for
$100, while a man’s suit costs $2,666.
At a typical children's canteen it
was observed that only 120 out of 770
served there had coats or shoes. The
, fact that the children do not have
a change of clothing accounts for
the spread of typhus and dysentery.
Thus far the campaign has brought
to light the American sympathy for
the Greeks in their desperate plight.
One contributor donated two boxes
of shoes to be repaired at his ex-
pense. It is reported that a little
lady ninety-four years old person-
ally delivered children’s sweaters,
which she herself had knitted, to
the headquarters in New York. These
id other articles actually reach
their destination yia the Red Cross
and the ships of neutral nations.
Further proof of the indomitable
courage of the Greeks is evidenced
by the so-called “little wolves.” The
Germans have applied this name to
boys between the ages of ten and
fourteen, who are blowing up am-
munition dumps, derailing trains,
and setting fire to houses and other
buildings.
Let us remember these “little
wolves.” ‘Thanksgiving vacation will
provide an excellent time for stu-
dents to collect old clothes to con-
tribute to the drive which will begin
November 29 in lower Draper Hall.

Of Jurors in Parley
the State
New Paltz,
Representatives from
Teachers Colleges at
Oneonta, Plattsburg and Albany
convened here last Monday and
Tuesday in one of the regional con-
ferences of New York State, This
conference, one of the three to be
held, was called to discuss and
analyze the problems of the differ-
ent colleges and to compare the
problems of high school and elemen-
tary school teacher:
Assistant Commissioner of Edu-
cation, Dr, Herman Cooper, was
chairman of the conference at all
sessions. At the opening ion at
9:30 A.M. Monday, Dr, Vivian Ed-
miston, of the Teacher Education
Committee of New York, spoke on
the evaluation of existing practices
in teachers college
Presentation speeches were made
by representatives of the four at-
tending colleges. The mass meeting
was then divided into four small
groups to discuss in detail specific
problems. One group met to plan
effective ways of giving teachers an
understanding of the development
of children; another, the way pro-
spective teachers must think and
plan the curriculum; the third, to
discuss problems of actual teaching
experience; and the fourth, to decide
what things are needed to be unified
in a seminar course.
Dr. Edmiston met with Mary
Assini, Grace Fielder, Jean Fillman,
Florence Garfell, Dorohthy Gregory,
Martha Joyce, Shirley Mason and
Mary Now to get an idea of the
student viewpoint. Miss Garfall, in
conjunction with the majority of
the others, voiced ‘re opinion that
the Ed. 10 course cuuid be contracted
into one year while the Methods
course wld be given for a much
longer period of time.
The main suggestion offered by
the students was to use the subject
matter as a means to the goal of
developing children into individuals.

Student Body Will Consider
Resolutions, Amendment
A business meeting is scheduled for
this morning's assembly program.
The student body will be asked to
consider four major items: three
resolutions and one amendment,
‘Two of these resolutions hinge upon
the plan to reinstall the coke
machine which was removed Inst
yea
The machine, long absent from the
Annex, will be installed again by
permission of Dr. John M. Sayles,
President of the College. A Mysk-
a committee discussed with Dr.
ay le possibilities of installing
the machine, The committee ad-
vanced a plan which Dr, Sayles ac-
cepted, He agreed to place the vend-
ing machine in the Commons with
the stipulation that the plan be
carried out, The coke machine must
be placed in the Commons, adequate
supervision being provided for its
maintenance. The area around the
machine will have to be kept in
order; empty bottles must be return-
ed to the provided recepticles,
Three Resolutions
Since War Activities Council orig-
inally considered operating the
machine, all profits will go to the
WAC treasury, Carrying out this
plan entails two resolutions, both to
be introduced today.
‘The first Myskania resolution calls
for an appropriation of ten dollars
to purchase linoleum to be placed
under the coke machine. This will
eliminate much disorder and will
facilitate cleaning.
‘The second resolution provides for
a substitute for Campus Commission
to take care of the machine as well
as to assume the duties of the Com-
mission, namely a Marshal Squad,
The squad will also take over duties
of Student Council-appointed Mar-
shals, The entire group will be head-
ed by a Grand Marshal selected from
the incoming Senior Class, The
office will be a major one under the
Major-Minor Office Plan,
Method of Succession
‘To head the group for the remain-
der of this year, the Grand Marshal
would be elected by the student body
from the present Senior cla: The
squad will have for membership all
of the members of the present Cam-
pus Commission and Class Marshals.
The next Marshal Squad will be
chosen by those who served on it,
previously, and the Grand Marshal
will be elected by Student Associa~
tion from incoming Seniors who
have ‘ved on the Squad during
the year, If passed, this resolution
will mean that Student Council will
cede its privilege of appointing Class
Marshals and Campus Commission,
The third item of business is an
amendment to be presented by G.
Bertram Kiley, '44, proposing that
all resolutions and amendments be
tabled for only one week instead of
two as now stated in the Student
Association Constitution, A reso-
lution concerning Debate Council
will also be introduced.
Wurtz Resigns As
Debate Council Head
With the prospect of entering the
service in the near future, Harry
Wurtz, '44, this week handed in his
resignation as President of Debate
Council. Geraldine Merhoff,
President, will
dent until new elections are held
Due to the uncertainty of the
leadership of the Council, no definite
plans have as yet been made, Miss
Merhoff, however, expects to have
several speakers for student assem-
biies sometime during this year,
After Thanksgiving vacation, a
new membership campaign will be
set forth,

their freshman year, they are nat-
urally desirous, ‘at this last oppor-
tunity, of defeating the class of '47.
Because of this, it is possible that
they might attribute any successes
of their adversaries to ulterior
causes. Perhaps in this way they
conceived the belief that Myskania
noticed only their misdeeds.
The class of "47 has wandered
from the reasonable limits of rival-
ry. It is my most earnest desire
that all class competition be carried
on in a sportsman-like and good-
natured manner. If carried on cor-
rectly, rivalry can greatly stimulate
school spirit. Therefore, I am ask-
ing the overly-enthusiastic members.
of the freshman class to hold their
activities within the recognized
ndards set by Myskania.
This year, as in the past, rivalry
will be won by the more efficient
and more capable class. We of '47

This is the story of John Doe, our boy John. He
inherited the title Johnny Doughboy from his father
who lost a leg in the Argonne. Johnny used to sit
muscle on his father's face. “We fought for you,
his Dad would say. “The war to end all wars;
fought to make the world safe for democracy. We
fought for decency and human rights, It's up to you
now son, to you and the rest of them.

Johnny grew up like any other boy, flunked histor
wrecked his father's ear, sprained his ankle in foot-
ball, was elected representative to the Council for Crea-
tion of Better Citizenship, and won a couple of basket-
ball games for good old Podunk High. Then he went to
colleg He didn't go because that was the thing
you did when you were graduated from high school,
because his father had been pretty important on some
campus. His father had never even seen the inside
of a college building and he and Johnny's: mother
sacrificed everything so that their boy would have a
chance
When Johnny comes marching home again, hurrah!
Johnny was a Sophomore in college on De
1941. He was a little bewildered by the turn of
events. His Social Studies prof, who was considered
a crackpot, had predicted Pearl Harbor. Johnny had
been as bored as the rest. But now it December,
1941 and Johnny's life was uncertain.
Johnny went with the ERC's in February of his
Junior year. The whole focus of his life had changed.
Classes seemed pretty foolish when you were living
from moment to moment. It was more important to
store up memories against a future oasis. “Me and
Mehitabel," thought Johnny as he looked out of the
train window.
When Johnny comes marching home again, hurrah!
Johnny was quite a boy and he could take it. It
was pretty bad the first couple of months but it wasn’t
long before he got right into the swing of it and began
to live again. The dominant thought in his mind was
my furlough. Oh boy!—a chance to get back

glad to see me. One day they handed him his fur-
lough papers and he took the next train home.
When Johnny comes marching home again, hurrah!
He was back. Same old college, same old kids. He
was happy. Then one morning he woke up and
it was there. He couldn't quite put his finger
on it but it was there —a feeling that some-
thing was wrong. He put on his uniform and went
back to the college, He wandered around the familiar
halls. Posters for Greek War Relief, sign up for War
Activities, buy War Stamps, make the soldiers happy
write a letter, A bunch of girls talking. I sit at the
Stamp Booth twice a week. I'm on the Committee for
Greek War Relief, my gosh I'm going nuts. I wish

Johnny thought bitterly, Oh boy.

Johnny's back in camp. He could hardly wait to get
on the train, The wheels kept time to his thoughts.
IUs all so simple Johnny, my boy. You yet the war

‘Margo Byrne:
So, here we are finishing up the
season again. As we look back, it
appears very similar to previous
autumn seasons, with the spectacu-
lar exception of the women's intra~
mural football league.
‘The league seems to be progressing
as befits a new-born, spon-
y combusted organization.
From our observations of the con~
dition of the members of the teams
on the day following the game, how-
ever, the physical frailities of the
players would indicate an uncertain
future.
We sincerely hope that the Sirens
and the Scramblers have not found
the painful after-effects too dis-
couraging to permit further pro-
gress in league competition.

Chest Drive Sets
$500 For Goal
Charity Campaign Plans
To Break ‘42 Record
The third annual Campus Chest
Drive will get underway Wednesday
and extend through December 17,
with Marguerite Bostwick, ‘45, as
Chairman. The $500 goal which has
been set can be attained if each
student contributes 50 cents or more.
In other colleges it is customary to
request one dollar from each student.
However, since the “Big Ten" is al-
ready receiving money for the war
effort from members of the College,
the minimum student contribution
for Campus Chest has been kept
at 50 cents as in previous years.
Group Houses, Commuters
The president of each group house
will be in charge of the drive for
that respective group, several stu-
dents in the house acting as assist-
ants. To reach the commuters, ap-
proximately thirty of the students
who commute will contact their own
group for contributions.
Inasmuch as the faculty is reache
by the Albany Community Chest,
they will not be solicited by Campus
Chest, but a form letter will be sent
to them,
There will be competition between
Sayles and Pierce Halls, and any
group house which achieves a 100%
contribution will have its name
placed on an Honor Roll. All de-
partmental clubs, religious orgar
tions, and sororities will be asked
for donations as well as the four
classes of Lhe student body.
Miss Bostwick is assisted by the
following Juniors: Leah Tischler,
Publicity; Margaret Dee, Faculty
Letters; Jean Winyall, Group Con-
tributions; Mary Now, Progress of
Campaign.
The total amount received in the
drive will be given to the National
War Chest which in turn will appor-
tion the money among various
‘antile
5
and Russian relief, and Bundles for
Britain.
Last yeur's Campus Chest goal was
00, but the returns failed to
attain more than the $325 mark, in
spite of the tremendous increase in
war needs.
Mis Bostwick empha: “Those
students who contribute to the Cam-
pus Chest will not be solicited by
outside organization. — Fifty

Last Call for Old Clothes
Shoes in Greek Relief Drive
Winter's set in; snow has
fallen; the temperature's drop-
ping—Yes, contrary to current
belief, even Greece, the land of
sunshine and gaiety, becomes
cold and bitter in the winter!
What are the Greeks to do
when there is no coal or fuel?
Fighting alone does not keep the
blood warm! Clothes are needed
—warm, woolen clothes and
good shoes. The Old Clothes
Drive, sponsored by Classical
Club, will continue until next
Friday. The biggest demand is
for skirts, sweaters, trou!
suits, and all types of childrer
clothing
There is still time to send
home for any old clothing or
outgrown clothes of kid brothers
and sisters. Next to the Stamp
Booth in the lower hall of
Draper is a large box in which
all contributions are to be placed.

Feldmahn Speaks Sororities Climax
Before Assembly
Speech Will Launch
Campus Chest Drive
Alexandra Feldmahn, Assistant
Executive Secretary of the World
Student Service Fund, will speak
today in Assembly. Her purpose
here this morning is to point out to
the students the possibility of co-
ordinating college fund-raising ac-
tivities with the united national
drives. Her speech today is the in-
troduction to the official opening
of the Campus Chest Drive which
begins Wednesday.
Miss Feldmahn, a Russian, came
from Russia about three years ago
at which time she enrolled as a
Junior in Pembroke College, grad-
uating in 1942, She here received
the Student Government Association
award for the girl making the most
outstanding contribution to the life
of the college.
Before coming to America, Miss
Feldmahn attended the American
College of Sofia for two years. Her
varied experiences in college life
make her unusually well-fitted to
talk lo a group of college students
while her life in war-torn Europe
enables her to understand student
problems in war-time.
The World Student Service Fund
writes of Miss Feldmahn: “Her fine,
strong and unselfish sense of values,
her organizational ability and her
xperience and gift as a speaker fit
her exceptionally well to interpret
to American students the cause of
World Student Relief.”
After Miss Feldmahn's speech, the
business of the meeting will take
place. The proposed two amend-
ments introduced two weeks ago will
be voted upon. ‘The one amendment
concerns changing the Board of
Audit and Control back to the old
name, the Finance Board, and the
second provides for an appropriation
of $10 to be used in buying linoleum
to be placed beneath the coke
machine.
Hardy Conducts
Debate Seminar
Debate Council held its first open
meeting in the Lounge yesterday at
) P.M. Geraldine Merhoff, '44,
pd William G. Hardy, Instructor in
English and faculty adviser for de-
bate, were in charge of the meeting.
Debate seminars will be conducted
weekly until the beginning of second
semester, replacing debate classes
held in former years. All students
ed in debate may attend
meetings. ‘Topies in’ which
everyone is interested will involve
outside reading and assignments to
stimulate lively discussions.
Definite plans have been organized
for debates with Union College in
Schenectady and civie organizations
here in Albany, Three or four other
colleges in the capital district: may
be scheduled for future date:
‘The Council has tentatively plan-
ned debates between various college
organizations to be held regularly.
Sorority debates may also become
part of the program
Tn former years, Debate Council
made trips to Colgate, Syracuse,
Vermont, and other colleges in the
state. However, transportation fa-
cilities prevent debate trips outside
of the Albany, Schenectady, or ‘Troy
wren ‘The Council believes that
nearby colleges will offer ample op-
portunity for Slate debaters to hold
their own.
Seniors to Report to SEB
Miss Doris Kelly, head of Student
Employment Bureau, requests that
all Seniors who have not yet turned
in their folders or made special ar-
rangements with her, report to the

ganizing the various groups in which
students enrolled on or before Nov.

them so that every student may par-
ticipate in some war work,
There is also an urgent need for
office workers at the Russian War
Relief headquarters, Those people
int din either Surgical Drei
ings or R.W.R. should consult the
bulletin board outside the Dean of

should let War Council know about
this outside work In order that a
record may be kept.

new year. All group houses have
been notified so that work may begin

is not included in the houses may
also participate, should they so
desire.
The State Fair was inaugurated
last year, and proved to be a success.

O.or Commons?
Debate On Culture Will Decide
by Joan Berbrich
“Tomorrow and lomorrow and
tomorrow =
Shakespeare.
Yeste it was Rome and before
that vece! Where ts the Golden
Age of today and tomorrow? With
the passing of centuries, the center
of culture has darted from one
nation to another with amazing
rapidity, Several hundred years ago,
this sparkling gem—this progressive
and brilliant metropolis—was lost to
the world. It has remained in hid-
ing. Philosophers, doctors, artists,
poets, wrilers-—all have ponder
argued, and given their views. And
now, finally, it ts to be settled!
The P.O. vs. the Commons as the
Center of Culture will be discussed,
argued and fought over in @ mock
debate to be held next Thursday
night, at 7:30 P.M. in Room 20,
Sunna Cooper, “Kippy"” Marsh, and
Bert Kiley will uphold the honor of
the P.O, with Kiley up for rebuttal
while the Commons will be defend-
cd by Blaine Droos, Lucille Kenney,
and Rhona Ryan Miss Ryan oppos-
ing Kiley as rebuttal speaker,
Will it be safe to enter Room 20
on that fatal night? Well, enter at
your own risk! Anything can hap-
pen
Of course, there are good argu-
ments on both sid The Commons,
in its three staunch followers, will
be represented by the Music Council,
the Ped and the Primer some of
the most cultural activities in State
but then the P.O, is peopled with
the world of tomorrow's ethereal
pocts und “stream of consciousness”
writers! (In fact, as any P.O, fan
will tell you, all the worthwhile
writing of the past decade or so
has flowed from the mighty portals
of what is now Known as the P.O,!)
But there! Away with all sup-
positions and fearful hopes, The
time has come when all will be
made clear, Thursday night the
new center of culture will makes its
official debut!
