Sophmores Win
Rivalry Series

The Sophomore squad, chalking
up a 26-22 victory over the fresh-
man team, on Monday netted three
points for rivalry basketball for the
second year.

The freshmen displayed more
power and coordination in the first
half than had been apparent in the
first game of the series, and, for a
time, it looked as if the third game
would have to be played. Russo
made nine points for the Sophs but
Tilden spark-plugged her team into
a substantial lead and the frosh
seemed to develop an eagle eye for
placing foul shots. At the end of
the half the score was 16-9 in favor
of the freshmen.

Credit goes to the frosh guards,
Dehl, Diffen and Tronsor—who com-
pletely bottled up the Soph offens.
It was not until the second half
that the "47 forwards were able to
break through the impentrable zone
set up.

Soph Comeback

A determined Sophomore squad
answered the whistle for the third
quarter and made rivalry histor
The excitement of the Sophomor
and the consternation of the frosh
was evident as the Soph team re-
versed the lead. Dunlay's speed
and passwork enabled the forwards
who were in position, to roll up the
score. Russo dropped in four bas-
kets and Baker made three long
shots and a foul throw. The frosh
fought hard to stop the slaughter
but at the end of the quarter had
added only three points to their

score

The Sophomores were in the lead
23-19. Excitement had been raised
to such a pitch that Florence Gar-
fall, President of Student Associa-
tion, had to ask the rival classes to

refrain from too much enthusiasm
as it made it difficult for the teams
to play.

In the last quarter, the frosh tried
vainly to recover their former lead
but the Sophomore defense was
superb, The fact that Quinn made
only one point in the game is ade-
quate testimony of Sweeney's guard-
ing ability. Margot and Campbell
made beautiful recoveries eve
time the ball passed into freshman
territory Russo made another

s basket, but there were some anxious

moments for the Sophs when she
was taken out of the game with
only two minutes to play. Camp-
bell took over and her guard posi-
tion was filled by Van Vranken
who had been in the starting line
up.

Announcement

War and the acceleration pro-
gram have played havoc with the
personnel of the Sports Depart-
ment, Any Junors, Sophomores
and freshmen who are interested
in sports and in writing about
them are invited—and encour-
aged—to tryout for the staff.

All those wishing to work
should drop a note to Joan Hy-
lind, '45, or come around to the
News office next Tuesday night
and make known their inten-
tions.

There is a great need for help
and a bright future is assured to
anyone coming out.

Thunderbolts Top
MAA League

The Thunderbolts, lead by the
hard-hitting Hank Farley, again
proved their claim to MAA bowling
honors by sweeping their second
four-game set in that many nights
of bowling. Dave Lehman’s club,
which, at the start, looked like it
might finish the season as the
doormat of the league, now leads
the revamped loop with eight vic-
tories and no defeats.

This was the first time that the
fellows had with the new handicap
set-up, and this arrangement look-

Phi Delt Leads
WAA Bowling

The number of games played by
individual teams, so far in the WAA
bowling league, has not been enough
to enable the individual and team
scores to be determined. There
are a few games that have been
played for which the scores have
not been handed in. As it stands
now, Phi Delt has the lead, win-
ning a total of three games out of
three played, giving a percentage
of 1.000.

The league standing is as follows:

Pierce Hall and the St. Thomas
More house have withdrawn from

they have played with other teams
will not be counted in the final

however, it is impossible for the

ed to be the best thing that has hit
the league. The handicaps, which
are the difference between indivi-
dual averages and 200, gives the
weaker teams a chance, and also
serves to keep the strong teams on
their collective toes.

Lehman's hot shot club opposed
Bruce Hansen's second-place Whiz
Kids and really took the wind out
of their sails. With Farley and
Lehman leading the way the Thun-
derbolts vamped the Whiz Kids
complete! Farley had high single
and high triple for the night with
176 and 481. Jim Crandell again
was the main-stay of the Whiz
Kids, racking up scores of 149 and
433.

Monday night’s other match
found George Hess’ Flashes taking
advantage of the generous handi-
cap allotted them to win three out

All Americans. The Flashes were
far off form and the only thing
that saved them was the 234 pin
advantage they enjoyed from the
handicap. The Al] Americans were
pitching all the and lost total
pins by only 11. Hess was top for
his club with 165 and 381. Sullivan
with 164 and Whytock with 438 were
the best for the All Americans.

games will be scheduled every Sat-

Besides those bowling with lea-

to receive WAA credit are also
bowling. The highest
score for one of these games is 168
bowled by Betty Clough, “45.”

Revision Motions
On Constitution

To Be Presented

Weinberg, Whytock,
Goldberger To Speak

In a recent assembly it was seen
by the question of the constitution-
ality of a motion proposed by Robert
Sullivan, '46, which would amend
the duties of the Student Board of
Finance, that the Student Associa-
tion Constitution is in need of re-
vision. Therefore, two members of
the student body and Student Coun-
cil will present alternative plans for
revision in this morning's assem-
bly. Both plans have as their ob-
jective the rearrangement, reword-
ing and amending of the constitu-
tion in which the material is scat-
tered, highly verbose and vaguely
defined. Both also hope, by this re-
vision, to acquaint the student body

Queen Of “Mustangeers”’
Honors ‘‘Minerva’s Portals'’

State has had queens before,
but now Minerva’s portals boast
the queen of the ‘Mustangeers’.

William B. Dorsman, First
Lieutenant, AAF, and finance of
Marion Duffy, '45, has received
the DFC for ‘extraordinary ac-
hievement while participating in
aerial flight over the Mediterra-
nean’,

Dorsman and his two flying
buddies live, eat and fly togeth-
er, and have been dubbed ‘the
three Mustangeers' by the mem-
bers of the -51 Mustang group.
Their plane, ‘The Darling Duffy’
came gloriously through fifty
missions and yet the Dumas-

s refused their fatigue leave

with what the constitution contains.
Weinberg’s Revision Plan
Following are the main details in
the plan for revision to be pro-
posed by Gerhard Weinberg, sup-
ported by James Whytock, Sopho-
mores:
The main committee would con-
sist of eleven people—two represen-
tatives from each class, appointed
by the president and approved by
the class; one from Student Council,
and one from the Student Board
This member is con-
sidered necessary, because as it has
already been mentioned, it was the
controversy over the duties of the
financial board that first brought
up the question of revision. It has
also been said that a member from
this bourd is necessary because the
financial problems of the Constitu-
tion are the most complicated. The
method of determining these per-
sons Will be given in assembly
eleventh person on the committee
would be elected directly by Student
Association and would also be the
chairman of the main commission.
s Representation

Besides the main commission there
would be a sub-committee compris-
ing ten people elected from each
class and the vice-presidents of
class as the chairmen, This would
make a total of 11 from each class,
44 members on the sub-committees
and 55 altogether to revise the Con-
stitution. The purpose of the sub-
committee is to channel the ideas
from the classes to the main com-
mittee.

In addition, Weinberg stated that
each elass could remove any person
on a committee who had too much
other work, who showed disinterest
or who didn’t fulfill the obligations

STATE COLLEGE NEWS, FRIDAY, MARCH 9, 1945

Ebbing Time

This is 1945. March. This is a time which a
few years ago seemed in the hopeful future—the
post-war future. And now this post-war future is
still a dream, a dream to which we all cling.

When people attach their minds to a hope, either
consciously or unconsciously, they can endure the
strain to a certain point and then there is the ebb,
the relaxing. This feeling is a kind of a fatigue,
something of a conglamoration of despair and in-
difference. This is even more tragic when one
realizes that he musn’t relent.

Even in normal times, this state of mind is
evident, but in war-time its consequences are more
drastic.

Every year about March, this ebbing occurs.
This year, signs are already visible. And yet we
must force ourselves to hold on to that kind of
spirit which was seen in embryonic form in a group

of freshmen who formed a band. The nucleus is 5

there, within sight.

As the soldiers keep to their pace, so in miniature
comparison, must we. But then, another factor
enters the picture—the encouraging war news. In
this instance, the reverse procedure is necessary,
for we must clamp down our spirits from rising too
high, which inevitably leads to complacency.

We get excited when only so many planes were
lost, and then we stop and remember that there
were men in those planes. And we realize that we
are living in a paradoxical state of mind, But
nowhere, are there people priveleged to live in easy
thought.

Our service flag bears thirteen gold stars. More
than thirteen lives have been affected by the death
of these men, They died for certain democratic
principles which we have the nerve to disregard in
our small-time college life.

In 1941, the present Senior class entered
State and called itself ‘The Crimson Tide.” Its
cry was victory. How far these people were from
knowing that within a y or so, another kind of
Crimson Tide would be flowing over all the earth,

This is March, It’s time for the charac-
teristic reflux, This letting-up leads to apathy in
college. But let's take it on a world-wide scale,
As young hopefuls four years ago gave eager shrieks
for the surge of the “Crimson Tide,” may the
Crimson Tide of today be ebbed!

These Honored Dead

At the Junior Class banquet last week, Dr. Jones
suggested that some building be dedicated to the
memory of the men from State College who have
died in this war, He believed that it should be a
permanent useful building which generations of
State College students will be able to use and which
will stand as an ever-potent memorial to the State
College men who will not come back.

At the time, Dr. Jones suggested that the new
gymnasium provided for in the post-war pl
considered as a possibility, However, anoth
took root in this when a member of the Junior
class suggested the Student Union,

As it stands now, the Student Union is one of the
most vital assignments ever assumed by the stu-
dents of State College, or the student body of any
college. If plans continue as already established,
the fruits of this enterprise will be a. significant
step in the progress of the College. [t is most fit-
ting that a building erected as a culmination of
student initiative, dreams, and efforts of the finest
calibre be a symbol also of the efforts of men who
fought and died in the present world strife,

A dedication is no ¢ thing. An inanimate
object can never even attempt to replace the lives
of people. Static objects do not even approach the
expression of our deepest and inner-most thoughts.
Gold-inscripted plaques, monuments—they're  sta-
tic, Hfeless, People look at them, momentirily im-
pressed,

But here is something we are creating with our
own hands, our own minds, Here is something that
will be life, that will be filled with people. The
Student Union is a construction conceived and
built by students, financially independent of the
State of New York,

[t will be a building that is useful, that will go
on making people better because its purpo: the
betterment of people,

As the Student Union is our goal, let the memory
of these men be our inspiration, our dedication,

To the Editor:

Last week a column by Kippy
Marsh appeared in the News. This
letter has been written to clear up
a few points.

In this column Kippy criticized
several so-called organizations or
cliques. Among these was the TGIF,
a social club whose members are
predominately Sophomores. Kippy’s
criticism was based on her belief
that the TGIF divided the Sopho-
more class against itself, and im-
plied that the club could become a
political force.

In reply to the foregoing charges,
we would like to present the follow-
ing facts:

1. TGIF started on November 3 as
an escape mechanism from the
strain of classes; its only purpose
was a weekly meeting where we
could relax and be thankful that
the next day was Saturday.

In our enthusiasm we purchased
our trademarks, the green caps. We
were proud of our club and wanted
everybody to know about it.

3. This enthusiasm, by its own
momentum, carried over into school
and class functions. By working as
a club, we gradually became known
as a clique throughout the school.

This is to inform everyone who is
interested that the TGIF has no
political aspirations. We have sev-
eral members who hold various of-
fices; obtained through thelr own
efforts and not pushed or sup-
ported by TGIF,

We agree with Kippy that dif-
ferentiating one small group from
the whole by means of a symbol
is a bad practice, and one which
causes dissention; therefore we will
no longer wear our caps in school.

We will do our best to keep our
enthusiams confined te the limits
of our meeting place,

Sincerely,
TGIF's
Dear Editor:

My blood is not boiling and I’m
not hot under the collar. In fact
I feel quite calm, cool and dejected
about the article by Kippy Marsh
last: week

May I ‘and I think you'll let me),

ongratulate her for writing and the
News for printing it. The article
showed thought as well as being
honest and sincere. Also it made me
think, and some people claim that's
a difficult job to do,

Now to become serious. I men-
tioned Kippy's article as being hon-
est and sincere and I hope this let-
er will be taken in the same light.

She mentioned (among others)
three groups of which T am a mem-
ber. This seems to be pretty bad
for I am, or in danger of becoming
a “damning influence” or a “me-

are “Western Hall

and Kappa Delta. As
far as I know, no deliberate discrim-
ination has been done in any of
these groups.

When people find they have some-
thing in common, they like to get
together and talk, or meet and en-
joy each other’s company. Is this
harmful discrimination?

They may not offer anything con-
structive except to themselves, but
bridge-clubs, sport’s organizations or
church organizations offer nothing
constructive unless you have an in-
terest in them.

Zorks and TGIF wear “discrim-
inating marks.” I don’t think they
do it for that reason. It merely
shows what group those people be-
long to. I don’t think any one will
dispute the fact that TGIF definite-
ly has the soph class at heart.

The Zorks are new but they are
definitely for the Frosh class. Well,
are either of those two groups any
less loyal to their respective class
than the non-members? I think not.

I wonder if the student body
would favor doing away with sorori-
ty pins be cause they are discrim-
inating marks? This would be stu-
pid and ridiculus. Well, what about
Myskania then?

Myskania—or is this subject dy-
namite? As I understand it, Mys-
kania is a judicial body. It is made
up of people who have proven their
leadership and ability. There are
people who believe they don’t need
robes to “discriminate themselves.”

lawyers respect the robes of the Su-
preme Court, whose members cer-
tainly are leaders enough not to
need robes to prove that fact.

In my viewpoint, Myskania obtains
more respect and dignity with these
robes than they could without and
that's why T think they should con-
tinue wearing them.

Perhaps they could sit in the
audience as members of the Student
Association when they are not ne-
cessary for the assembly program.

Well News, this is a problem
every student in this College should
think about and you deserve lots of
credit for bringing it to light.

IN MEMORIAM

This week, State College's service flag is being taken
down so that three more gold stars may be added to
the eleven that are already patterned on its surface.
Perhaps this is the time for a sentimental speech or
emotional flow of the pen, but there isn't any play
on words that could ever come near the feeling that
one gets deep down inside upon learning that some-
one he knew no longer exists in any other form than
just a gold star embroidered onto a piece of cloth.
So perhaps just listing the names of those declared
killed in action would be more fitting: Frances Lip
pold, ’33, Al Trehanon, '38, Major Alfred Dedicke, '18,
Vibert Fryer, Graduate Student, Sgt. William G.
Scholz, Graduate Student, Major Bernard Gaffney,
‘39, S/Sgt. Al Parker, '40, Sgt. Robert Gleason, ‘44,
Donald W. Eddy, '34, Lt. (j.g.) James R. Maloney, ‘41,
$/Sgt. Glenn Haushaulter, '40, Pvt. Harold E. Lind,
‘45, Lt. Will Valley, '40, Lt. Frederick F. Wohlstein, The
State College Honor Roll says, “They gave their lives
in honor of their country." Maybe we can make these
more than just gold stars on a service flag by
keeping them in our hearts and not forgetting for a
single moment why it was that they gave their lives,
and by vowing to do just a little—or perhaps a lot
more than we have been doing to help get this war
over faster. Let us remember the gold stars—and let
us pray for the blue ones.

BLOOD BANK

Tf you think we're doing something here with our
blood donations, just read this from Cpl. Bernie
Perlman, stationed in England: “The Army
cepts blood donations from GI's as well as civilians.
And in its treatment of donors, is infinitely mori
generous than the Red Cross. Instead of cookies and
lemonade, we get shots of the very finest Scotch as
pick-me-up”. . . “ladies, if you gota boy in England
please don't try to persuade him to give a quart of
blood and send you the chaser—he needs it more
than you do . “So far as the GI's are concerned,
it's a small enough thing to do for the Front Line
Boys who are really sweating it out”... maybe it's
a “small enough thing” to you, Cpl. Perlman, but we
think it’s pretty swell.

Present Staff

Vera Kozak, '45, director of Press
Bureau, announces that new mem-
bers from the Junior and Sopho-
more classes will be elected to the
Board in the near future, Further
plins were also formulated by the
Bureau to foster publicity in the
city papers.

“There has been a great deal of
confusion among the students over
omission of press notices in the Al-
bany and hometown newspapers,”
according to Miss Kozak. This wes
meinly the result of handing in an-
nouncements to Press Bureau far
too late to submit to the Albany
press. All notices sent to local
paper are used at the convenience
of the newspaper and thus in larger
papers often can not be printed,
News Deadline

Henceforth all news should be
given to members of Press Bureau
one week preceding the event.
Heads of organizations and classes
are urged to cooperate in enforcing
this time element. Individuals
should also check to make certain
they heve been covered adequately
by the Bureau.

There are still Seniors who have
net turned in their three agency
pictures and students are urged to
do so immediately if they wis
derive publicity benefit.

of the committee; and that these
members could be replaced by the
class by those who would be in-
terested and capable. While most
of the revision work would be done
in committee, the group should have
the right to call for the help of
any other campus group, Weinberg
stated that the committee should
be formed of people outside Student
Council because the council is the
executive body of the college and
has no legislative powers. He also
feels that the large committee would
be nearer to the student body,

Council Refutes Weinberg

In an attempt to defeat the mo-
tion of Weinberg, Cecile Goldberger,
'45, representing Student Council,
will propose the following scheme
for setting up a constitution revi-
sion committee:

The entire committee would con-
sist of seven members; our mem-
bers from Student Council, consist
ing of one representative’ of each
class, and three outside of council
members to be appointed by Stu-
dent Council. ‘These members could
be anyone from the student body.
Student Council provided that the
outside member be appointed by
Student Council because it feels
that the council will be able to ap-
pont the most interested persons
who would do the most work on
the committee,

Other provisions are that the
chairman should be elected by the
commission itself, that five members,
or 2/3, must approve all changes,
that the commission should mect
once a week, report to Student
Council at least once a month, re-
port the changes in the constitution

h class and take a vote on

ese changes once a month, that

ision should be completed

15, and that it should be

in assembly at the first
possible date, preferably this year,

Co States Reasons

The reasons for taking the ma-
Jority of the committee from the
Student Council are that it has an
active interest in’ student affairs,
Was elected by the student body to
act in an advisory capacity to the
legislative body of students, it al-
ready exists as a functioning body,
the total repr ntation of the col-
lege groups is already in the coun-
cil, and that although Student
Council is an executive body, it also
has the power to bring up amend-
ments. This revision is considered
by Student Council as an amend-
ment because amending — means
that one item may be stricken out
and another retained. Student
Council will also ask help of the
groups on campus.

Student Council feels that the
plan proposed by Weinberg is too
idealistic and too unwieldly to be
effective.

ALBANY, N. Y.

A splash of green, a lightning
streak of yellow, and rivalry goes
on, Colors clash, competition rages,
temporary victory flaunts its flam-
ing banner.

Greedy, grasping, _green-eyed
gremlins gruesomely grapple for il-
lusive victory while daring, dainty
daffies dash dauntlessly into the
fray.

Heaven {s scorned and Hades is
glorified as the '47 Hellions ruth-
lessly advance their last feeble at-
tempts to pile up the rivalry points,
Their score mounts slowly as their
inflated ego rises by leaps and
bounds,

O fatal, self-destructive vanity!

The invincible frosh fighters unite,
fight and plot with minute precision
the disgraceful downfall of their
oppressed opponents. They neither
fear, flee nor fancy the strong-arm,
do or die, and ill-fated methods
of their traditional enemy.

Like battle-front generals, they
mapped their road to victory, Ral-
lying their cheering sections, boost-
ing their bond-buying, massing their
famed talents for seat in heaven
and a super show at State, the vic-
tory-seeking daffs have gained the
roving school spot-light,

The gracious gift of ceding the
Rivalry Debate to the loquacious
Sophs (or Gusty Gremlins) was
made by the generous freshmen who
advocate the ancient prover!
lions speak louder than words,
practice what they preach,

Having shown their chief prowess
and closest competition in active
sports, the yellow youngsters vi-
ciously await the approaching bowl-
ing and swimming meets, on which
hinges the fate of '48. "Tis rumored
that one of the illustrious frosh fel-
lows modestly flaunt the moniker,
the king of ten pins, Nor is it
without rhyme or reason that the
land-docked loafers call the daffies
the fishiest class at State,

Come late spring, come the Ban-
ner Hunt, come tough situation for
the sad-sacked Sophs! Theirs will
be the mournful garb of sack cloth
and ashes, as with e finally free
from Utopian illusions and victori-
ous visions, they yield to their su-
beriors, Being engulfed in a tidal
wave of maiz they will forfeit
their “daffy” dreams as the on-
rushing golden horde sweeps into
triumph.

The Die Ix Cust, and while, like
proverbial gophers, the gremling
seek peaceful concealment, the daffs
will flourish in. enveloping victory.

Wearin’ Of The Green
Ushers In Fifth Stamp Day

“The wearin’ of the green” is
the order of the day, and it has
nothing to do with the Sophs or
rivalry.

Now is the time for all good
Irishmen to show their colors,
for State is observing St. Pat-
rick's Day in the traditional man-
ner, Just to make it “aisy” for
the lads and lasses, the observ-
ance of the “great day for the
Trish” is being combined with
State’s Fifth War Stamp Day.

For the price of only one War
Stamp any lucky student (Irish
or otherwise) will receive a sham-
rock as green as Erin's sod. This
flower of the Emerald Isle is a
ticket of admission to an Irish
show in the Commons at noon,
complete with pretty coleens and
genuine jigs.

Although this Stamp Day is
aimed especially at the Irish,
there is no restriction on the sale
of stamps! Let's put this one
over the top! !
