Seniors to Have
Annual Banquet
Class Makes Plans to Honor
Late College President;
Hop Successful
Arrangements are rapidly being
shaped up for the traditional senior
fall banquet which will be conduct-
ed on Tuesday evening. November
21, according to Walter Harper, ‘40,
president.
This is the first of two annual
banquets conducted by the seniors.
‘The first takes place in the fall and
the second is conducted in the spring
before Moving-up day.
The committee which had been
drawn up to investigate the feasi-
bility of purchasing a memorial
plaque in honor of the late Dr,
Abram Brubacher has not reached
@ definite decision as to whether it
would be more advisable to ask the
support of the entire student body
or to confine the memorial sub-
scription to the class of 1940,
“The experiment which we recent-
ly tried out, namely, the hiring of
@ good band not in the ‘big name’
classification has proved very suc-
cessful for our Senior Hop,” was

' STATE COLLEGE 'NEWS, NOVEMBER 10, 1939
To Introduce
by Edwin Holstein
If any outsider chanced to drop
into the Activities office on No-
vember 1, he would have undoubt-
edly noticed an unusual air of
“hushed” expectancy on the part
or the sophomore reporters, Al-
though they worked hard, it was
not with thelr habitual jollity and
good cheer, They labored over
“heads” and such with a look of
grim, “do or die,” determination
on their faces; for on that evening
they made their thespian debut.
In short, they “thesped.”
The News board said they wanted
it and they got it—everything from
the mouth organ a la Ingoglia and
Trumbull’s homicide of Dan Mc~
Gee to the conventional amateur
hour and “punny” sikit—ha-ha!?
This, incidentally, won the ball and
jacks—first prize,
“What does all this mean?” you
Vaudeville Makes the Headlines
Unique Tradition
aay, It means that a new sptrit
has been born in the journalistic
circles of NYSCT, The pen has
been swapped for the “treaded
boards.” The News of the future
may be published orally in the
student assembly — with feeling
and gestures. What an innovation!!
Think of it, Soon we may see a
poster reading: The News spon-
sored by Advanced Dramatics will
present “Printer’s Ink and Paper,
in three blots, or, “The News and
Statesman will have a competitive
talent show in the Assembly soon.”
You think this is radical and
impossible—not at all. This jour-
nalistic vaudeville show has set up
a tradition; and traditions grow like
moss on the left hand side of a
tree facing east, Did not some-
body once say “From little ideas
big things do come”?

Next week before the Thanksgiving recess com- |
mences, State’s newest publication, the Statesman, |
will make its first appearance. The editors promise |
that their magazine, the result of the consolida- |
tion of the Lion and Echo, will offer something
totally unprecedented in campus publications.
[ | The Echo had its birth in 1892 when a month-
t ly, the Normal College Kcho, was issued under
the sponsorship of an interested group of students. e
| : : i way to security, happine:
i This was the first student publication to appear | peace and that the cons
} on our campus, and contained humorous and liter-
ary writing as well as a news story. A succes
venture, it continued until 1918 when it became
known as the State College Quarterly, Eleven
years later in 1929 the Echo appeared in the form
as we knew it last year.
The Lion, although shorter-lived, had a more
interesting biography. It appeared as a mere cub
in 1924 as a privately-financed publication spon-
sored by three undergraduates who felt the campus
needed a real humor magazine. Well received by
the students, its development was curbed in 1926
when the ire of the administration was aroused be-
cause the magazine exceeded the bounds of de-
cency. Nevertheless, the Lion flourished, and in
1928 the Student association saw fit to include it
under the Student association budget.
The student assembly of May 20, 1939, wit-
nessed the death of these two publications which
culminated the pro and con discussion over con-
solidation for several years, Soon its successor will

in the plan, but merely an agree-
able compromise.
The suggestion is as follows: felt

AT THE AUCTION SALE the tobacco is piled in
baskets weighing from about 100 to 500 pounds and
each purchaser buys all of his tobaccos by competitive
bidding for the particular piles he wants.
"THE CHESTERFIELD BUYERS buy the best of
these mild ripe tobaccos for the Chesterfield blend.
And it is Chesterfield’s Combination...the right amounts
of Burley and Bright... just enough Maryland... and
just enough Turkish—that makes the big difference
between Chesterfield and other cigarettes.
Ir IS BECAUSE of this combination
that Chesterfields are COOLER, have
@ BETTER TASTE and are DEFINITELY
MILDER, They are made of the world’s
best cigarette tobaccos. You can’t buy
a better cigarette. S

Delegates Hear Rienow Speak
At College Debate Conference
“United States is at war — an
economic war, If we withdraw, we
admit defeat and such a defeat will |
cost Us our military proficiency, At
present we are at war with Ger-
many in every way except military
and the same situation threatens to
appear with Japan in the near fu-
ture.” Thus spoke Dr, Rienow, as-
sistant professor of social studi
at an intercollegiate debate confe
ence ut which six colleges were rep-
resented Tuesday
Over fifty delegates from Siena,
St. Rose, | Renssel Polytechnic |
Institute, Union, Skidmore, and)
State college were present at the!
ting. Dr. Rienow's topic, “The
egal Aspect of Neutrality,” was fol-
lowed by an open question period
in which the audience participated. |
About thirty delegates and five
faculty members attended the open-
ing luncheon in the cafeteria, par-|
taking of hot turkey sandwiches
and pie a la mode.
The meeting followed a similar
conference at Colgate on November
8 at which Dr, Wilson was the main
speaker. The purpose was to gain
& — a
some background for the topic which
will be used in most intercollegiate
debates this year, “Resolved: that
the United States shall follow a;
policy of strict military and econ-
omic isolation toward all nations
outside the western hemisphere in-
| volved in international or civil con-
flict.”
Dr. Rienow outlined his views on
the topic and then offered three
policies Which we could add to what
he termed our present “half policy”
in order that we may stay out of
The three methods he pro-
posed were complete isolation,
operation of neutral nations all over
the world, or cooperation of na-
tions in the Western hemisphe
with the exception of Canada, al-
ready engaged in war,
During the question period that
followed, David Kreher attempted
to show some posters on peace but
the concensus of opinion was that
