The WAA Bowling Tournament

The
Sport
Snoop

The sports snoop has taken to
roving the halls again, snapping
questions at the vets and catching
them unawares, We went through
the usual questions, name, class,
age, height, weight, and telephone
number (strictly for Sullivan's files).

After we had collected the neces-
sary info we popped the question.
Our problem was, Mr. Agony, “what
Spring Sports will you participate
in and/or support by your attend-
ance, and why?”

Rolf Toepfer, '46, stated that “the
school itself has room only for
baseball on the school grounds.
Washington Park can be well utiliz-
ed for track and field. Arrange-
ments could also be made for use
of the tennis courts. However, I
believe that general interest will be
low because of outside activities of
the students.” It seems like a good
suggestion for the use of Washing-
ton Park during the day-time.

But Fran Mullin, ’48, in between
ping-pong shots, seemed to disagree
about the crowd. “Students will
support the Spring Sports because
State hasn’t had any teams in such
a long time.” Mullin played varsity
tennis in '42 and will pitch for the
team if his arm is O.K. So we see
that he will support those teams.

James Bolster, a Graduate stu-
dent, has stated that “it’s a good
idea to have teams. I’m inelligible
to participate but am willing to
support all of the Spring Sports, I
have a car and will be able to travel
with the team if the distance is not
too far.” (O.K, Sullivan, he lives in
Schenectady, telephone 6-4661.)

Michael Perrette, ’46, wants to see
a baseball team. “I will participate
in that sport, and all intramural
games that I possibly can. I believe
that golf and a tennis team would
build up the prestige of State and
let the other schools know that
State is on the map.”

On our way over to the Boul
(plug!) we encountered Harry Bad-
en, '47, and Ray McNamara, ’48,
who have signed up for several in-
tramural sports. Ray would be
willing to run for the track squad.
He's a former winner for Newburgh’s
team and has great possibilities,

Over a cup of java we asked Kil-
roy his opinion, After carefully
considering the matter he remark-

“bridge!” It would advance
"and intellectual culture at

Catching Harry Mills, '49, at the
io, we found that he was a very
versatile man indeed, “The dashes
are my specialty, the 100, and 220
yards. I even made a stab at the
mile, Baseball is the best spectator
sport for the Spring but I don’t
believe that it will be well attended.
A varsity swimming team should be
started for those fellows and inter-
collegiate competition could take
place. Swimming doesn't take mu
equipment and is a healthy spor!

Alan L, Stone, '47, ended up our
round-up by stating “that baseball
will not be well attended, but soft-
ull, on Page Field, will hold the
interest of the students.”

Coach Hathaway's official state-
ment was that “the baseball season
looks promising. The fellows have
signed up, but there is no equip-
ment, and no games have been
scheduled.”

Final Game April 2nd

As the WAA Basketball league

one game lead while BZ dropped
into third place. The Gamma Kap
and Psi Gamma teams remained
tied for second place honors with
two losses apiece.

In Monday's contests, Psi Gamma
defeated Moreland 24-11 in a fast
moving game. Lengyel starred for
the winners with 14 points while
Evans accounted for five of the
Moreland tallies, Tommy Moore

The Phi Delt-BZ game highlight-
ed Tuesday’s contests as the top
place Phi Delts nosed out the hard
fighting BZ players 18-12. Led by
Casey and Baker, who each ac-
counted for four points for the los-
ers, BZ pushed the score to 12-11
by the end of the third quarter,
but were unable to check the ad-
vance of Phi Delt in the final pe-
riod. Michel led the winners with
eight points.

In the first contest of the evening,
the plucky Whiz Kids were defeat-
ed 24-10 by the excellent playing of
the Rares team. Davidson spark-
plugged the winners with her
smooth center plays and accounted
for 12 of the winners points. Ricci
led the Whiz Kids with six points.

The Newman team found KD an
easy mark as they gained points
steadily throughout to a final score
of 27-10, Soulich was high scorer
for Newman with ten points while
Shure led the KD basketeers with
six points.

Wednesday's Games

In the opener to the Wednesday
night contests, the Whiz Kids were
defeated by the Stokes Hall team

the Whiz Kids with four points,

Psi Gamma won an easy victory
from the Newman team by a 27-8
score. The winners were paced by
Lengyel with 14 points while Maggio
led Newman with three.

The new swing band, organ-
ized just a few weeks ago, has
been rehearsing furiously in
secluded spots (Sayles Hall gym
included). It’s been strictly on
the hush-hush side until enough
numbers had been learned to
give a good show.

Sometime next week, the
group will drop anchor in the
Commons at noon to give out
with the jive for the jitterbug
fiends and swing for the swoon-
ers, There will be a charge of
ten cents to pay for new music.

If enough interest is shown
in the band, it may play for
school dances or other enter-
tainments.

Since the year '41-’42, there
has been no successful attempt
to organize a swing band, un-
til some members of the class
of ‘49 got together this year.

The monologue entitled “On the

admitted that it was not quite as

STATE COLLEGE NEWS, FRIDAY, APRIL 5, 1946

To Cut Or Not To Cut--

“To cut assembly or not to cut assembly—that
is the question.” The answer is all too obvious
to anyone who has seen the abundance of empty
seats every Friday morning in Page.

And a majority of those that do go take ad-
vantage of the convenient lull in classes to eat
lunch, read the News, catch up on homework, or
curl up with a good book. The rustle of lunch
bags, the pleasant crackling of a turning page,
and the occasional musical tones of a milk bottle
rolling down the balcony stairs provide an unob-
trusive background for this weekly Student Asso-
ciation siesta. Legislation is brought up and passed,
and speakers drone on indefinitely while we relax
and dream.

It’s time we realized that a general lack of in-
terest in student government and a refusal to
shoulder the responsibility of self rule is not the
main reason for the lethargy of student associa-
tion, It seems closer to the truth to realize that
assemblies are usually dull, often confusing, and
poorly planned.

Fifty minutes a week is not much time to dis-
cuss and decide the affairs of a thousand students,
and yet at least a fifth of this period is literally
wasted by announcements, What has happened
to the ruling that anything published in the News
should not be repeated during assembly? And why
is it necessary to reproduce half of a Big-8 pro-
gram when a brief skit would be more than enough?
And finally, why bother making an announcement
at all if it can’t be heard past the fifth row?

Another touchy issue is the question of outside
speakers, Granted it isn't very inspiring to stand
on the stage and gaze into a sea of open news-
papers. But would it be too indelicate to explain
the situation to the speaker and request that the
address be short and to the point? A little more
judgment in the selection of speakers would also
help to clear the air, It’s a little too idealistic to
expct anyone to explain the Russian situation in
one assembly period, and it’s also too idealistic to
expect anyone to challenge the speaker with per-
tinent questions when it’s already noon and a 12:35
class looms ominously,

Which brings us to the matter of lunch. More
legislation has been passed by hunger pangs than
this school dreams of. Just the thought of the
Jong line in the annex and the clawing mob at the
Boul is enough to force a vote on any issue, Im-
portant as assembly and voting may be, we have
to go on living—and eating. Plenty of students
have gone hungry to 12:35’s because of long and
pointless discussion on petty issues.

The answer to the whole burning issue is better
and more careful planning. Strict limitations on
announcements, thoughtful choice of speakers, and
intelligent supervision of business meetings would
give assembly a much needed shot in the arm.
We're willing to participate in student govern-
ment—if Student Council will meet us halfway.

Meve me, I don’t mean to complain
—I have trunkfuls of arms and legs

wouldn't it be wiser to cling to the

putation and a few trial runs with

conclusion that we'd save from five

‘To the Editor:

I would like to bring to the at-

little matter of lack of courtesy
during student assemblies, Before
I continue I would like to define
what I mean by courtesy; in this
particular case, it involves the stu-
dents’ strict attention to the busi-
ness at hand,

During recent business meetings
a certain amount of discourtesy was
expected and understandable. How-
ever, when a guest speaker is
brought here by some student-sup-
ported organization, it is only cour-
tesy to the speaker and the or-
ganization to be attentive. It is
both distracting to the speaker and
embarrassing to the organization
when various members of Student
Association are noisily reading
their News, doing homework, drop-
ping occasional milk bottles, and,
as soon as attendance Is taken, slip-
ping out the side doors, allowing
them to slam shut.

Our assemblies are student con-
trolled, a fact of which some of us
are rather proud. If, however, this
situation Is not remedied I fear that
faculty control will be the ultimate
result, It's up to you,

Marie Liebl, 46

‘Those hearty females who dared
transgress the coeducational cam-
Pus found it difficult to project their
personalities into campus life. For
this reason they banded themselves
into sororal organizations to offset
the tightly knit monopolies created
by the already formed fraternities,
‘The impact of this Greek competi-
tion caused serious social conse-
quences, making yesterday's college
girl the “popular, pretty, alert,, at-
tractive girl who decorates the foot-
ball stadiums, open cars, ballrooms,
and bars of America, causing Amer-
jean educational critics to uncea
ingly lament the frivolities of col-
lege youth.”

This condition was alleviated to
some extent during the depression
years when out from this economic
chaos emerged the embryo of the
modern student, With this further
emphasis on economic advancement
and social theory the woman stu-
dent began to take a more serious
stand in regard to her college work.
World War II, however, more firm-
ly intrenched the position of the
coed on campus, in that she began
to take over positions formerly held
by the proficient males. Newspa-
pers were edited by women, stu-
dent governments fell under their
control, and, in general, the entire
succumbed to the
feminine elements.

me time they were taking
over these collegiate activities they
were rushing into war marriages,
thus colliding with the more adult
problems of post-college days, To-
day's college girl has emerged from
the war with a more critical view
of the world, its politics, Its phil-

phy. (For confirmation we again re-

nists.)

By MINDY WARSHAW
UNDERSTANDING ... KEY TO WORLD PEACE

“We the people of the United Nations, determined
to save succeeding generations from the scourge of
war... and to reaffirm faith in fundamental human
rights, in the dignity and worth of the human per-
son... and for these ends to practice tolerance and
live together in peace with one another as good
resolve . . . to establish . . . the United
So begins the charter of the United Na-
tions Organization, humanity's hope for a more suc-
cessful future, It will be no easy task for the UNO
to do what it has set out to do—and to keep from
falling into the pit that consumed the League of Na-
tions—unless every individual who reads the words
of the Charter digests them and realizes them to
be more than just wor rather something that the
individual wants very much to see put into action.
And the words will not be put into action until we
can throw off the fear and distrust of each other that
has permeated the air for months now.

Too often we tend to regard our own country as
the Angel of Peace hovering over other countries who
seethe, underneath, with thoughts of violence. Until
we can realize that people, Englishmen, Chinese, Rus-
sians and Americans alike, are all basically the same
in their desire for peace, we will not have that peace.

When the Russians refused to withdraw their troops
from Iran immediately, preferring to evacuate slow]:
when the time seemed more opportune, the ren
tionary element in our country immediately whoop-
ed up its battle cry. But they did not mention the fact
that Britain still maintained troops in certain small
countries, or that we ourselves have not yet removed
all troops from Iceland. They did not say anything
about Russia’s having a right to wonder why Britain
and the United States should receive oil from Iran
and she should not. They did not say anything about
them. These same reactionaries would like to hush
up facts that might make us consider the Russian
people with desires and incentives similar to our own.

For example, on March 23, George H. Earle, form-
er Governor of Pennsylvania and former Minister to
Bulgaria, returned to the USA and called the USSR
“the greatest danger that ever threatened America.”
He said we must realize “what a frightful menace
we have in Russia”; that Russia should be given an
ultimatum “to get back into her own territory” and,
“if they refused, I would use the atomic bomb on
them while we have it and before they get it. If
Russia had the atomic bomb there would be few
Americans left today.”

Earle added, “has made a farce out of

“Earle”, Earle should have added, “has made a
farce out of the American’s right for freedom of
speech.” When anyone violates the principles of free
Speech so far as to make such bigoted, slanderous re-
marks such as Earle—who in this case may be used
as an example of the methods used by the reaction-
aries—he is inaking a farce out of this freedom of
speech,

Earle’s wild charges are echoed every hour in Con-
gress, in the isolationist press, and in war-mongering
individuals, And the sad part of it is, a lot of people
who don’t know any better, fall for his line. But we
here at State are more intelligent, supposedly. We
know that until we can realize that other people
in other countries want peace just as much as we do.
those words of the UNO's Charter won't mean any-
thing. We know that the Russians, and the British
and the Chinese are people too, just like we are. And
we know that, whenever any temporary disagre
ment appears, if we remember that the other per-
son, or coun thinks he is just as right as we think
we are, we can solve almost any problem—by just un-
derstanding—and the desire to understand.

Social Studies,
Art Departments
Sponsor Exhibit

The Art Department, under the
direction of Miss Ruth E. Hutchins,
Assistant Professor of Fine Arts, and
the Latin American History Class
under Dr. Watt Stewart, head of the
Social Studies Department, are com-
bining their efforts to present ao
Latin - American Art exhibit next
week in Draper. The display will
feature Peruvian art by Jose Sabo-
gal, Director of the National School
of Fine Arts, Samilo Blas, and Julia
Codesido.

Loan Pictures

‘The pictures are the property of
the Pan-American Union which has
established a loan collection sent to
all parts of the world. The exhibit
will display photographs of South
American paintings, featuring those
from Peru. Three original paintings
by Jose Sabogal will also be in-
cluded in the collection.

Feature Sabogal

The feature artist in the exhibit
will be Jose Sabogal, who is the
leading artist in Peru. All the mod-
ern painting in that country is cent-
ered about this one man. Sabogal,
a pupil of the former Director of
the National School of Fine Arts,
traveled and studied in Europe and
North America for almost five years
before the first World War. Al-
though specializing in the folk arts,
he has shown his abilities in paint-
ing columns and monuments, He
has also backed an unsuccessful
venture to obtain government back-
ing for painters.

Dr, Stewart has made arrange-
ments to obtain the pictures and
the Art Department will exhibit
them.

Students Circulate Petition
For Course In Philosophy

“Ah Philosophy! one day spent
according to thy precepts is
worth an immortality of sin.”—
so believed one of the world's
great philosophers. But several
State students, concerned be-
cause there has been no oppor-
tunity in the curriculum to learn
about those precepts, have been
circulating a petition requesting
the administration to offer such
a course.

Judging from the long and
ever-increasing list of names
appended to the petition, this
concern is not confined to just
a few students. Some in signing
their names, gave reasons for
their desire to have a course in
philosophy. The most frequently
expressed opinion was that some
emphasis should be placed on
attitudes towards relations be-
tween human beings to balance
the predominant note of factual
knowledge in most classes

Tt was also pointed out that
State College is one of the few
liberal arts colleges which does
not include a course in phil
osophy,

Students Express Opinions Of News

A number of students, selected
as nearly as possible to represent
a cross-section of student opinion,
were asked three questions recently
by an inquiring reporter; What do
you like most about the Srare Cot.-
Lece N. What do you like least
about it? How do you think it
could be impre ?

Although opinions varied widel:
the consensus seemed to indicate
that Mindy Disa and
Data, is the most widely read and
and most interesting to the great-
est number of students. Generally,
students deemed the News impar-
tial and said adequate coverage was
usually given to both sides of a
controversial issue. Satisfaction
was expressed concerning — the
amount of publicity given to activi-
ties, but there was criticism of the
way news stories are written up,
saying they are too factual and
seldom interesting enough to plough
through from beginning to end.
Sports page received the greatest
amount of dive opinion, as some
considered it the best part of the
paper while others entertained an
entirely opposite viewpoint.

‘Tis a tale told by a soldier—full
of paws and wishes! An old soldier,
Fred Baron, relates the sad life of
an ill-omened monkey's paw in one
of the two one-act plays sponsored
by College Playhouse next Wednes-
day night in Page at 8:30.

With Dell and Cronin in the di-
rectors’ seats, a tragedy and a com-
edy will be enacted before a State
audience—Dell doing the tragedy,
while Cronin directs the comedy.

Dell presents her offering first—
a weird story of a monkey's paw
which has been cursed by fate. An
evil spell cast upon the paw imparts
the power of granting three wishes
each to the first three groups own-
ing it.

When Mr. and Mrs, White, played
by Arthur Soderlind and Barbara
Dunker, the present owners, obtain
the charm, two groups have already
been granted their quota of wishes.
Tt is their lot to command the paw’s
last three wishes.

But the paw turns with vicious
fury on its possessors and although
the wishes are dutifully granted,
tragedy results in every case. Even
the White's son, Herbert, Robert
Lynch, suffers at the hand of the
paw. Tragedy still stalks the stage
as the paw bestows its final wish
and the curtain falls on the first
performance of the evening.

Intermission brings entertainment.

Harold Gould, '47, as a young
farmer, desperately tries to gather
enough courage to propose to his
neighbor's daughter, Gloria Jaffer.
The whole plot hinges about the
question, “Will he say, ‘will you?’
or won't he?”

The young farmer follows the
daughter of his neighbor, Palevsky,
around the stage all during the
play unsuccessfully searching for
just the right words to pop the
question. Somehow his attempts
are thwarted, always resulting in
bitter arguments about vital affairs,

At one point after the usual pe-
riod of hemming and hawing inter-
mingled with a dash of self-con-

strenuously with the ght of his

subject of matrimony. Dramatical-
ly clearing his throat, he wearily
returns to the topic of holy wed-
lock and at the close of conversa-
tion, she is violently declaring that
her dog is a much finer specimen of
canine breeding than his,

And with the two love birds still
discussing these important issues of
the day, the curtain falls—the farm-
er still trying to muster enough
courage to propose,

And as the cast relaxes, their
work done, the committees swing
into action. Dottie Diffin rolls up
her sleeves to rustle around with
sets, while Fran Child blinks. lights
off and on and Rosemary Ryan
dashes frantically about searching
for the lost articles which she has
signed her life away to obtain. Cos-
tumes are ripped off with relief
while Al Knapp, chairman of Cos-
tumes, wrings her hands in anxious
appeal and Muriel Gardiner dis-
mally shakes her head as she
watches the make-up she so indus-
trially applied earlier in the even-
ing come smearing off under a
thick application of cold cream,

And as the theater lights darken
and stage fans file out, another
dramatic night is over.

My

By Jinny Day

Sometimes life seems very futile.
This is one of those times. I feel
completely enveloped in the vicious
cycle,. My freshman year, last year,
and even this year I cherished the
idea that someday I would be able
to write a column of my own, The
time has come... I have 100 blank
lines to do just what I please with,
I thought. So what happens! I
say to Sullivan, “Can I really write
about anything I please?” The look
scared me half to death, but she
didn’t have to yell way across the
P.O. where all the Sophomore desk
editors could hear, did she? So I
can’t talk about the fan club I’m in,
or how hard I work on my comp
(honest I do, Miss Hopkins), or how
much fun my room-mates and I
had on a picnic at Indian Ladder,
or the new stink pinks I learned
this week. (I’m gonno stick ‘em in
Jater when Sullivan isn’t around.)
T'll write about sports, I'll be so ath-
letic that I’ll say one team defeated
another in ten different places in
ten different ways ... in some oth-
er issue, of course.

About Softball

Reading over the '42 files we dis-
covered that the question of soft-
ball was even then hanging pre-
carlously in the balance. . . Shall
we or shan’t we have a team? Gee
Whiz fellers, you don’t want our
very first attempt to be the obltu-
ary for what could be one of State's
major sports, do ya, huh? Every-
body is so discouraging though...
Maybe they wouldn't be if they had
seen the softball game on the dorm
field Saturday afternoon. (Softball
is significant because anybody good
in softball would be good in baseball
too because baseball and softball
are sorta related, aren't they?) Any-
way, both fellows and girls played,
and at least the girls admit that
they're stiff, aching, and practically

unconscious this week . . . not men-
tioning any more than a few names,
Lashinsky, Woodworth, Feeney,

Reed and Evans. Seriously though,
State has the man power now, and
equipment could be rounded up,
couldn't it? Sure!

Tennis Is the Subject

In the spring a young man’s
fancy is supposed to turn to
thoughts of love... everywhere but
at State College it happens like it
ought to. Here it’s softball, volley-
ball, tennis, or tennis, or tennis,
Speaking of tennis, an incentive is
always a good thing, like a cup for
instance, There was one once—it’s
been out of circulation for so long
that it’s probably old and rusty
now. How about a nice new shiny
one hmmmm? Also, a sheet on the
bulletin board for both the fellows
and girls to sign up on... One for
MAA, one for WAA, then the win-
ners of each could play for the
championship. Anybody interested?
Not for Classification

Now for the newest addition to
the athletic program—Stink Pink.
Here's some “sporty” ones for your
consideration,

letle monster? (Stinky Pinky)

What is a good looking ath-

The answers are upside down on

be we could even start another club.

Phi

Delt Wins Trophy;

Tops Gam Kap 42-34

BZ Stops Psi Gam,
Three Tied For Second

Phi Delt defeated Gamma Kap,
Wednesday night, 42-34, to gain the
basketball trophy and the cham-
pionship for this year. Seymour,
with 18 points and Tilden with 15
points led the winners, while Quinn
tallied 17 for the Quail St. six,

In the first encounter BZ set back
Psi Gamma, 22-11, to make @ three
way tie for second place. _ These
two teams and Gamma Kap have
each lost three games,

In the Phi Delt-Gamma Kap en-
counter, Seymour started the at-
tack off by scoring in the first ten
seconds. On the next play Malo-
ney fouled Osborne and she tallied,
Tilden and “Ozzie” matched bas-
kets, Michael missed a foul shot
and Tilden scored on the rebound.
On a nice set-up, Quinn tallied and
then added a foul shot. Seymour
sent one through the hoop, and
“Ozzie” matched her two points,
Seymour made a basket and Tilden
added a foul shot as the quarter
ended with Phi Delt ahead, 9-8,
Both teams were scoring with ease
in this period as the defense was
lacking for the squads.

Phi Delt’s defense tightened and
Gamma Kap could do little to hold
them down. Tilden and Michael
each sent one through the hoop
but were matched by Quinn's bas-
ket and foul shot. Tilden tallied a
basket and Gamma Kap tried to
tighten its defense. Seymour toss-
ed a long one through, and Young

— scored, Ozzie and Michael tallied

for their respective teams and Til-
den, recetving the ball from Sey-
mour, tallied, Time was called by
the referees. Seymour and Tilden
each pushed two points through,
and Michael added a foul shot as
the quarter ended with Phi Delt
way out in front 26-15,

Michael scored a basket, Quinn
tallied twice, and on a nice play
through center Seymour added two
more points. Michael scored two
foul shots and Young retalliated
with a basket and a foul shot as
the quarter ended 32-24 in Phi
Delt’s favor, The teams were even-
ly matched in this quarter and sev-
eral jump-ups were called.

Quinn scored on a lay-up as the
quarter started. Tilden tallied and
Young matched her basket with a
one-hander from the side. In rapid
succession Tilden and Seymour tal-
led and Quinn put in a foul point.
A double foul was called on Seymour
and Winters. Seymour made her
point and Quinn matched it. Time
was called,

Seymour made and missed foul
shots as the game continued. Pedi-
sich fouled Michael, and as this
was her fourth foul, Egan took her
place. Young tallied and on a play
through center Seymour scored,
The whistle blew as Ozzie pushed
the last basket through, giving Phi
Delt the game and the champion-
ship 42- The combination of
Tilden, Seyfour, and Michael in
the forward spots, and Maloney,
Vernoy and Striphas in the guard
positions were too much for Gamma
Kap's fast moving team,

In the first game of the evening
between Psi Gam and BZ, Sowa was
high scorer for the losers and Bak-
er, with 8 points, high scorer for
the Madison Ave. team,

The st quarter was sprinkled
with brilliant playing, both offense
and defense, on the part of the Psi
Gam team. With Sowa and Leng-
yel scoring and Sweeney stopping
the bounce passes Psi Gam pushed

uhend 8-4 as the period ended,
Psi Gum scored only two’ foul
shots in the second quarter, while

BZ tallied two baskets and a foul
point. Baker led the way this pe-

riod pushing BZ to within one point
of Psi Gam.

Dodge replaced Casey for the sec-
ond half and it was height that de-

feated Psi Gam, She got them off
the backboard and then tallied.
Well placed shots by Maginness and

Traditional Rivalry Bowling
Set For Today At Playdium

The rivalry bowling matches
will be played off this afternoon
at the Playdium Bowling Alleys
at 3:30 P, M.

As yet the teams of both '48
and '49 are tentative. The frosh
have narrowed the field of try-
outs for the girls down to six.
They are Audrey Adolphson, El-
eanor Ames, Dorothy Anderson,
Louise Cargill, Mary Jane Peris,
and Beverly Sittig. The men
who are going to bowl for "49
have not yet been chosen, The
‘48ers have had quite a time
narrowing down their teams to
the limited five. So far Mar-
garet Ardito, Alice Fisher, Mary
Regan, Claire Sylvestri, and
Eloise’ Worth, make up the
Sophomore team, The Daffies
are all out with their men bowl-
ers. John Bolles, Marty Bort-
nick, Fran Mullin, Henry Far-
ley, and Paul Wagner comprise
their team.

From the results of Wednes-
day's practice bowl, the frosh
have a slight edge on the Sophs.
But from the Sophs scores from
last year the Devils will have
more than a comfortable share
of competition.

WAA Doubles

Nearing Finals
In Table Tourney

The WAA doubles ping-pong
tournament has been making con-
siderable progress, Four out of five
matches have been played off in
the first round and by the begin-
ning of next week the second round
should be well under way.

In the first frames, Alice Fisher
and Ray Weiss defeated Judy Fen-
enback and Mary Steinbach, Betty
Jane Jones and Mary Alice Dines
won over Jean Harris and Midge
Groesbeck, Jean Conner and Tess
Mahoney lost to Sylvia Fisher and
Helen Lengyel, and Wilma Whitney
and Tess Salamone bowed to Fran
Sowa and Adeline Fischer. The
Collier-Dube and O’Grady-Wakin
match remains to be played yet in
the first round,

Bertha Wakin, '47, captain of the
sport, asks that all the participants
in the tournament play thelr
matches on time, in order to finish
the tourney before the end of the
season,

Credit for the sport may be ob-
tained and used towards an award
in WAA. Hours other than those

acquired through tournament par- 7

Ucipation are necessary to gain the
credit.

Weod
Cutt

By FRANK WOODWORTH

Agitation seems to be the driving
force of this column, so this week
we have something that we think
is worth your serious consideration.
The idea was brought up this week
in MAA Council meeting and we de-
cided to place it before the student
body for approval.

State has needed a general recre-
ation place where students could go
on dates, or othrewise on weekends.
Under present conditions we feel
that the Commons is the logical
spot for informal weekend get-to-
gethers. Students could dance,
play bridge, ping-pong, or just re-
lax, Open nights would be arranged
so as not to conflict with school
functions. We are quite certain
that the faculty would be glad to
be chaperones for these events be-
cause they too know that outside
recreational facilities in Albany are
not desirable for the most part.

Another strong argument for this
arrangement is the expense of rec-
reation in Albany. In this plan the
only possible expense involved
would be for the janitor.

Of course, this plan like anything
else would fall through if the stu-
dents failed to support it after the
novelty wore off, At any rate, we
think that it would be worth a try.
Intramural Softball

Plans for the coming softball sea-
son are still in the embryonic stage
because there is so much indecision
concerning the make-up of the
teams. This is a problem because
we do not have organized group
houses or fraternities as we did be-
fore the war. Also we are not sure
of arranging teams because we do
not know in some cases whether or
not fellows are physically able to
play. Until we can find the an-
swers to this problem we will not be
able to arrange a schedule.

Softball Smalltalk

This is partially in reply to Jinny
Day’s column in which she stated
that “at least the girls admit that
they're stiff, aching, and practically
unconscious this week...” Our
answer to this statement is that we
did not have to admit anything; it
showed all over us. Mute testimony
is sometimes the most effective.
Intramural Council

We have referred above numerous
times to the Men’s Athletic Associa-
tion Council. Perhaps it would be
well to explain the nature and
function of the council, Its pur-
pose is for the arrangement of the
expanding athletic program. For
the sake of better organization it
was decided that the council should
be divided into committees, each to
perform a specific function. The
council is made up as follows:

President—Hal Weber.

Secretary—John Bolles.

Treasurer—Bob Nichols,

Varsity sports—Red Evans,

"al sports—Bill Marsland,
. Frank Woodworth,
—-Phil Lashinsky.

Arrangements—Bob Sullivan, Curt

Baker pushed BZ's score to 19

avail, as the game ended with BZ

Intersorority Round Robin Dance
Will Preface Junior Weekend

itions come and go—and in
the cycle, the Round Robin Dances
appear on the scene again for the
first time since the Fall of ‘42.
Inter-Sorority Council will sponsor
the comeback as part of the Big 8
se! and the Junior Weekend on
Friday, April 26, from 8:00 to 12:00
P.M
In « Nashback to years gone by—
in 39, w part of the big Senior
Weekend was the already traditional
Round Robin Sorority Dances on
the night before the Senlor Hop.
Two o'clock hours for the girls pre-
vailed, with dancing from 9:00 to
1:00, und it was a strictly sorority
affair . . . no independents allowed.
Tn April, ‘41, the annual affair went

high hat with tails and formals in x,

demand for the sorority open houses.

The All-State Weekend took the
place of the Senior Hop in ‘42, To
complete the weekend, the seven
sororities on campus held their
house dances. Those were the
pulmy days when some of the
houses hired orchestras while oth-
ers stuck to the vic, Came ‘43, and
Interfraternity Council sponsored
the last affair before the war. Hours
were no longer a question, for the
dances were held in the afternoon,
Then, along with the man shortage,
or maybe, because of it, the Round
Robin Dances faded into the past,

Remembrance of things past will

shift to anticipation of things to
come as Inter-Sorority Council pre-
sents the seventh Big 8, and starts
off a galu Junior Weekend,

Girls who are lucky enough to
¢ dates for the prom ean surely
persuade their males to arrive a day
earlier if they come from out of
town. Because the dances are
sponsored by the sororities, girls are
expected to make the dates—one
time that the girls can take over
the business end of the deal.

For a mere fifty cents, a couple
may make the rounds of all the
sorority houses on campus. © A typl-
eal itinerary might Include; start-
ing off at Chi Sig on Madison for
a couple of dances, then under the
eb passage to BZ and refresh-
ments before the trek over to Quail
and Gamma Kap for some more
dancing. Doubling back to Phi Delt
on Myrtle or Psi Gam on South
Lake will provide opportunities to
sample different refreshments and
prepare for the journey out to AE
Phi on Washington or KD on West-
ern. On second thought, maybe a
bus ride would be easier on the
feet, At AE Phi a couple hunds of
bridge will finish out the evening.

of Inter-Sorority Council, is general
chairman of the affair, and tickets
may be obtained from Jean Whit-
