Of Sophomores
Robertson Baker, '49, announced
yesterday at a class meeting of the
Sophomores, that he is resigning as
President of the class. In announc-
ing his resignation, Baker released
the following statement for the
class of 1949:
“This letter is a formal announce-
ment of my resignation as President
of the class of 1949. I have, for the
last three semesters, used as an ex-
cuse for my poor grades, the alibi
that holding this class office takes
too much of my time. The only
way I can prove to myself that I’m
capable of college work is to give up
my excuse, and that means resign-
ing the office.
“The success of the class of '49
in rivalry Mes in its student coun-
cil, and I feel that this council will
continue to lead the class as it has
in the past. I want to thank you
for the privilege of working with
you.”
Baker has been President of the
class of '49 since its organization in
October of '45, having been re-elect-
ed in May for this year. It was

point where their clothes are

a package arrived for Sally

of what the well dressed Campus

about three yards around the

SAVE. OUR TREES but SCUTTLE OUR TEACHERS
Wednesday a large group of Poli Sci students took
off from classes and attended « hearing in the State
legislature. The bill in question would allow trees
on public lands to be cut in order to provide skiing
facilities, etc. The turn-out was commendable. The
subject choosen was sad.
Yesterday morning when the committee on teach-
ers’ salaries reported to the legislature there were
but a few brave class-cutting individuals present.
Our guess is that when the Young-Milmoe Teach-
ers Salary bill gets to the floor, there won't be a
single State College student present.
This is both a prediction and a condemnation.

STATE COLLEGE NEWS, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 28; 1947
PAGE'S
By FRANK WOODWORTH
‘This week we have been asked to
crusade against some alleged dis-
erepancies in the intramural pro-
gram of MAA. To make a long
story short, what the boys have
been asking is whether or not we are
going to have an IM bowling lea-
gue and ping-pong tournament. It
seems that with the relatively heavy
male enrollment in the college and
the amount of interest shown in IM
basketball, that we should be able
to organize both of these other
sports activities successfully. Of
course there is the handicap that
the calendar is pretty full at pres-
ent and that the time {s running
out fast for indoor activities, but if
we did get started immediately we
could possibly still include both ac-
tivities. At any rate, let’s not have
a repeat performance of the base-
ball meeting held last week. It has
been decided that there is a lack of
interest due to the absence of a play-
ing field. If this lack of interest
continues, MAA will be in a diffi-
cull position in regard to IM sports.
Perhaps it would be a wise move to
give baseball some much needed
publicity. Maybe some of the blame
can be thrown back on us of the
sports staff for not having given
the meeting a little fanfare. To our
knowledge there was no notice given
of the recent meeting other than
the bulletin posted on the MAA
board. We suggest that the base-
ball committee post a list on the
MAA bulletin board which candi-
dates may sign. Let us make this
clear; baseball means intercollegi-
ate Varsity baseball. We had teams
up until 1940 with fewer men than
we now have. Let's make more
than a half-hearted attempt this
time.
Last week Sigma Lambda Sigma
upset Kappa Delta Rho in a wild,
dirty, poorly-played game. This
game was probably the worst exhi-
bition we have witnessed to date.
Its main features were a slugging
match, a broken wrist, water on the
knee and general hard feelings, It
was impossible for either team to
work the ball into the basket be-
cause of the promiscuous fouling.
This type of basketball not only
makes participation hazardous, but
also spoils the game, both for teams
involved and for spectators. There
was no high individual scoring for
either team.
It looks as though the Grads and
Senior-Juniors will have to play a
rubber game to see who will play
Potter Club for the championship,
From where we sit the the nod goes
to the Senior-Juniors because the
Grads have played inferlor ball
since Jim Coughlin left school.
With a little ambition the Sr.-Jr
ageregation could play good ball.
EEP facie Fak State Bows To St. Mike’s Gam Kap Wins
In Fast Game
Battling a stubborn Fink five that
threatened all the way, EEP eked
out a 49-45 decision to hold their
Frat League lead Monday night.
The JR.-SR. team upset the Grads
in a Departmental League game the
same evening, winning, 24-20.
Led by Bortnick, EEP started fast
but with Olivet pacing the Finks
neither team was able to draw away
and the first quarter ended with
EEP holding a 13-12 edge. Second
verlod scoring was even also with
the EEP team in front at the inter-
mission, 26-25,
Fouls Decide Fray
EEP's ability to cash in on fouls
proved the deciding factor as a total
of 27 fouls were charged against
the two teams. Third period scor-
ing showed the EEP's still clinging
to their one point margin, 36-35.
Bortnick was high man for EEP
with 8 goals and 5 fouls for a 21
point total, Olivet led the Finks
with 12,

In Hard Fought Contest
Four Players Stand Out,
George High Scorer
Friday night, a strong State Col-
lege quintet met St. Michael's in a
contest that proved to be one of
the best games of the season, Al-
though’ State outscored their oppo-
nents in the last half, the game was
lost in the second period slump—
the final score standing 56-53 in
favor of the visiting team.
State started the scoring as
George chalked up two points on a
lay-up shot. Guter, St. Michael's
forward, retaliated with a set shot
from the right corner of the court
followed closely by two more points
by Akey of St. Michael's, The
score was tied, 4-4, as Evans of State
made a long shot from the floor.
The scoring wavered between the
two teams until the second quarter
when St. Michael's rapidly took the
lead, led by Yankowski. The score
at the half was 30-19.
Tn the second half, State came
back in scoring strength until, with
5 minutes more playing time, George
tallied a lay-up shot making a 50-
50 tie score, Marsland then continu-
ed the scoring with a completed foul
shot. St, Michael's once again be-
gan a rapid tally as Yankowski
scored one point in a foul shot, fol-
lowed by a set shot by Akey. Bren-
nen of St. Michael's added two more
points to the score with a long shot
from the court. The score, with 2
minutes to play stood at 56-50 in
favor of the visiting team, Then
g O'Brien scored one point for State
and Fersh ended the scoring with
a one handed shot

Bridge Games In Lounge
Make Spanish “‘Interesting’’
Dos oros, un basto, paso, dos
sin triunfos—that, amigos, is one
way of opening a bridge game in
Spanish.
And por Dios why would any-
one want to play bridge in Sp2n-
ish? Well according to all the
college catalogues, one of the
aims of s modern language
course is to enable the student to
converse fairly well in that lan-
guage. Dr. Childers, Professor in
Spanish, decided that, since most
college students can play bridge,
this would be a good way to ac-
complish the purpose. And so
the alegres companeros were in

words the joyful partners were
in the Lounge to bid against
their opponents.)
Ah well, we don't do anything
like that in Greek class, but
then, the Latins always did have
a reputation for doing work the

Nelson Attends
Administrators’
Annual Parley
Dean Milton G. Nelson has been
attending the annual convention of
the American Association of School
Administrators in Atlantic City this
week. A four-year college educa-
tion requirement for teachers and
higher pay were among topics key-
noted at this conference.
In connection with the minimum
education demand it was brought
out that over 500,000 teachers in the
United States have less than a col-
lege degree, and that over 60,000
have not gone beyond high school.
Dr. Donald DuShane of the Na-
tional Education Association pro-
posed that teachers make theirs a
profession equal to that of law and
medicine. To gain that stature, he
said it would be necessary to main-
tain higher standards and that one
of the major problems in education
is to pass laws requiring a college
degree for teachers.
Other educators agreeing with
him said that less training is a
hardship to the children under sub-
mission to incompetent instructors,
Educators agreed that along with
more stringent requirements went
higher salaries. Generally accepted
at the convention was a range from
$2,400 to $5,000 annually.
Dr. Willard Goslin, superintendent
of schools in Minneapolis and chair-
man of the school administrator's
planning committee, said that more
men must be attracted to the pro-
fession, and that this can be done
only if salary schedules are set up
which would enable a man to sup-
port his family adequately.
Other topics under discussion were
the single salary schedule for ele-
mentary and high school teachers
and the inadequacy of emergency
teachers,
