Last Wednesday night, Dr, John
Sayles, professor of education
and director of training, addressed
4 meeting of captains and chairmen
conducted at the Alumni Residen
hall, In his discussion, Dr, Sayle
urged everyone to support the drive
since it gives him an opportunity to
repay the institution of State college
for the privilege of gaining a practi-

pointed out that the class of "38 is
the first to assume the initiative of
launching this drive. Previous class-
es had been asked to do this,
Dr. Sayles, in suggesting the build
ing of a men's dormitory, envisioned
the time when the entire block on
which the present dormitory is lo-

Lotte Goslar, European Dancer
Has Brilliant, Eventful Career
- 9
Lotte Goslar, the European dance
mime who will give a program Mon-
day night under the sponsorship of
;Dramaties and Art association,
began her career at an early age.
She was born in Dresden, Germany,
and wt the age of eighteen started
attending Palucca's dancing school,
She was immediately taken Into her
performing group and for three
years travelled all over Germany
with Palucca, but finally left to per-
fect her own dance interpretations,
with which she won the enthusiastic
Applause of all Burope
She made her debut tn Berlin, and
immediately received an offer from |
Robitschek, which she at first. re- |
fused but finally accepted after her |
second recital,
She toured the larger cities of |
Germany, including Berlin, Munich, |
Dresden and others, and’ Sweden;
She 4s considered far more than
either a dancer or a mime, as her
engagement to appear in a’ perfor=
mance for the League of Human
Rights shows. The leader of the
Czechoslovakian section says: “We
have to say that Lotte Goslar is no
ordinary dancer, This woman {s un-
doubtedly today the greatest living
mime, whose silence cries out, as
Maeterlinck would say, All of us
understand her--and only, when you
have seen her, will you understand
what a mighty interpreter of our
thoughts and wishes we possess in
Miss Goslar, We know that she
offers us more than an entertaining
evening. She will give us courage
with her art to continue in our dif-
ficult fight against the stupidity and
blindness of humanity,”
Miss Goslar always places the main
emphasis on her dancing, and not
on the miming, She is a fine artist,
not merely a clown or entertainer,
In her dancing she presents all the
human emotions; she is unique in
her method of presentation for she
portrays Mfe vividly, frankly, with
® subtle realization of the pathos
‘And tenderness that is at the basis
of comedy, Her dancing is personal,
and full of imagination and
(rangeness, which is original with
her, People laugh at her parodies,
Which are masterpieces in action and
gesture, but there is in them the
element which distinguishes the
humorist. from the joker, and which
displays a renal acting bility and
knowledge,
A review from a Berlin press con-
tins the following — statements:
“Lotte Goslar is the greatest dance
mime of today, Everything is tem-
perament, impulse, passion, blood,
fire, fanta She always carries
you away; she is original, interest-
ing, She has no model, “ie has no
pattern, she is a distinct person-
ality,”
A review from Prague says: “In
Whatever country Lotte Goslar ap-
Dears, people always laugh tremen-
dously ab her performances, The
inspiring force of her great parodis-
Ue talent is reconfirmed to. this
woman by wnamimous acclaim
wherever she goes,”
These statements present briefly
the reasons for the great success of
Lotte Goslar are entitled,
as the greatest living dance mime,
because of her great ability, by which
she so skillfully interprets human
emotions in a sincere manner,

Suggestion to the Administration
From January third to April fourteenth
isa period of fourteen and a half weeks or
three and a half months. During this time
there is no rest period of any sort for the
students of State college. The two weeks
of examinations are anything but a vaca-
tion, especially for freshmen women and
sorority girls whose formal rushing falls
the second weekend of examination time.
Then the second semester begins and con-
tinues without any let-up until Easter re-
cess,
The News, retlecting student opinion,
believes that some change in our present
recess schedule would be advantageous, If
the same plan for an Easter recess remains, |
there should be about two days added to a
weekend to enable students to visit their
homes and relax, This “weekend” could
come some time in February, perhaps, and
it could be arranged to have Washington's
or Lincoln's birthday one of the two days
added,
The other plan has to do with the aboli-
tion of a two-week Easter vacation and the
institution of a spring recess. Many State
college students have discovered that our
vacation does not coincide with the spring
vacations of other colleges, and many of
us go home to find that all of our friends
from other schools have already had their
reunions in our home town and have return-
ed to college,
Also, with the Easter recess coming as
late as it does this year, there is a compara-
tively brief time before final examinations,
The vacation does not divide the working
time evenly. To remedy these situations
the plan is for a spring recess followed by
a long “weekend” of about four days cover-
ing the Easter holidays,
Neither of the preceding plans neces-
sarily involves an addition to the present
number of vacation days of the second sem-
ester, Both mean only the insertion of va-
cations into our schedules when we need
them: most,

Once again a senior class of State college takes |
upon its shoulders the task of doing Its bit toward
increasing the fund for residence halls, Property is
already owned by the Alumni association on which to
construct further buildings, The need now ts for funds
with which to proceed with the actual construction
work,
State college vitally needs a men's dormitory—
especially inasmuch as next September will show a
total enrollment of four hundred men for the first
time in the history of the college, There is also a
growing need for a men’s and women's athletic house
and a swimming pool,
‘The only way of guaranteeing any or all of these
needs {s by the fulfillment of pledges by our alumni—
in whose ranks the present seniors will soon be,
So when you are approached by a drive captain,
do not smirk and pass off the subject too lightly or
quickly. Stop and consider! Since 1918 classes and
individuals have pledged financial aid for something
from which they perhaps will never receive material
benefit. Why shouldn't we?

Discussion on the point system at State college will
again be opened today when the revision committee
submits its report in this morning's assembly, Re-
membering last year's arguments pro and con we
wonder what is in store for us when Bill Mollenkopf
calls for comments from the student body. Already we
have herd the expected rumblings of discord from
certain organizations and holders of major offices.
The purpose of the point system is to insure a
broad distribution of offices among the student body,
and to restrict any one person from holding more
offices than he is capable of handling well,
The purpose of the revision committee is to see
that the number of points assigned to any one office
is a fair number as based upon the actual work and
the prestige connected with that office.
Students should keep these facts in mind when |
they are tempted to bring up any argument during
the course of today’s discussion, The revision commit-
tee admits that not every one will be in accord with
its findings, Data was gathered from the present
holder of each office and carefully compiled, but the
student must remember that the findings and final |
report of the revision committee can only be accurate
to the extent that the submitted data was accurate.
We also want to take this opportunity to congratu-
late the Women’s Athletic association and the Men's
Athletic association on the success of last Saturday's
barn dance. A welcome informal dance and a success-
ful Innovation! State would do well to have more such
gatherings where students can relax from the steady
grind of studies and really “let loose."

Indian Legends
By Otto Howe
Legends of the Longhouse by Jesse E, Cornplanter,
edited by Dr, Harold W, Thompson, Professor of
English, State College, Albany, N. Y., J. P, Lippin-
cott Co., N, Y., 216 pages
(On Sale in the Co-op)
“The white people of America have, of late years,
admired the artistic craft of the Indian of the South-
west... Only a small number of white Americans,
however, have remembered tho talents Inherent in the
remnant of the great eastern confederacy, the Iro-
quols,"
Jesse E, Cornplanter, snipe tribe of the Senecas,
has set down as best he could in our language, the
myths and legends of his people. Cornplanter “has
worked hard In the hope that in this book some of |
his readers may, through the medium of a language
strange to him, find the feeling of what his stories
are like when they are told in the Senaca tongue.”
One of the legends, related by Cornplanter is the
beginning of the pussy-willow as a sign for spring,
Years ago rabbits had long bushy talls, A peculiar
habit of the rabbit is his love of green leaves and
buds and his desire or love for running. ‘This partic-
war rabbit was running in the snow and daring Ib
to snow harder, The rabbit finally became tired of
running and he looked around to find that the snow
was very deep and he had to rest in the crotch of a
willow tree, When the rabbit woke up he was sur-
prised to find the snow all melted and the grass was
greon, The rabbit was stranded in the treo and as
he was a coward at heart he was afraid to climb down,
Tho rabbit finally lost his balance and fell out of the
tree, As he fell his tail caught in the tree thus form-
ing the firat pussy willow which has since been the
first sign of spring,

Dear Egomaniac;
Tradition,—backed by high of-
ficlals—has stated that the
freshman class is too inexper-
lenced and too poorly organized
to conduct social events, How-
ever, this year, the freshman
class with the cooperation of the
other classes Is sponsoring an
All State dance. The purpose of
this dance is to buy that ampli-
fying system for the ‘vic’ com-
mittee. Each class will have a
Mmited number of tickets for
sale at twenty-five cents each.
The active interest of all class-
es the altruistic purpose of the
dance, the low price, plus an in-
sight into the capabilities of the
‘greenies’ should be enough in-
centive to produce a real crowd,
The dance will be conducted
on Friday March 18, in the Com-
mons with a good swing band
providing the musical back-
ground,
Before we go further, how-
ever, we wish to correct your
impression that we have been
sitting in the background wait-
ing for someone to suggest this
action, This has been our first
opportunity to get a dance sanc-
tioned, We would like to thank
you for raising Interest in the
question and know that your
continued cooperation is going
to help put the dance over in
a big way.
Your friend,
Stan Smith,
President of class of '41
May we say thanks and coop-
eration is guaranteed,
eee
We wonder how the sopho-
mores are coming along with
music for Soiree. We hope they
get a good band but don't wallow
around too long just talking.
If you get a good bargain—snap
it up because you haven't a very
fat chance that you'll get two
such offers,
vee
We always are so terribly en-
grossed in all those handsome
creatures who at noontimes
swarm around the gallery of the
Commons to watch their class-
mates whisk about to the discs,
We are so optimistic that we ex-
pect to see these people down in
the heated arena some noon—
but we've seen these same grim
faces observing us from the same

Peds to Attack Trojan Rivals|
In Last Game of Season
Falling before the onslaught of a!
vastly improved St. Michael's quin-
tet, 41-34, to run their losing streak
to five straight, the Purple and Gold
cagers will stack up against their
traditional rivals, the R. P. I, engine-
ers, who will Invade the Page hall
gym tonight to avenge the defeat
handed them by the Peds in a game
last, December,
St, Michael's Game
Last week, St, Michael's came,
saw and conquered a hard fighting
State five. In the first half the
teams matched basket for basket
with State leading by a one point
margin, and then St, Michael's, At
the crucial moment, when State
needed points badly, Mike Walko
sank them. At the half, State led
by a one point margin,
In the second half, a determined
St. Michael's met an equally deter-
mined State team, and during the
first few minutes, both sides played
cautiously. Feeling that they had
solved the problem of State's play-
ing, St. Michael's really went to
town, and pulled ahead of the Pur-
ple and Gold with a six point edge
which they kept throughout the re-
mainder of the game,
Coach Hatfield threw in a new
combination in an effort to stop St,
Michael's, and for a moment it was
effective. However, the latter got
wind of the new combine'’s tactics,
and again piled up a commanding
lead,
Possible New Combine
Speculation has been running high
on the question of what combina-
tion the coach will use in tonight's
game. Will he use the same combine
that won nine straight for us, or
will he use a different one?
Last year, State and R, P. I. split
with the Hatfield aggregation win-
ning the second game on the home
court in a 32-27 upset.
Earlier this year, in enemy terri-
tory, the Peds defeated the Engin-
eers 36-28 to give State the edge in
the rivalry between the two schools.
There are two factors in favor of
the Purple and Gold. One, that the
Troy five has shown litle Improve-
ment since the two squads met, and
two, the boys are recovering from
the set-back that the mid-terms
gave them, This is evidenced from
thelr playing last week compared
to the Hartwick game when they ap-
peared to be “off-form
Tonight’s Game
In tonight's contest, the last game
of the season, State will enter the
court favored to win, The boys will
have to watch out for King Ward,
Chris Faziola, and Fellows, the main

This game will be the last for Cap-

W. D. R.
Will the Purple and Gold basket-
eers wind up their 1937-38 season
with a smashing victory over the
engineers from R. P. I, tonight?
This final contest will... unlike
that of years past...mark the ter-
mination of the intercollegiate bas-
ketball career of but one varsity
man, , Captain Tommy Ryan .
last year's closing game of the se:
son dropped the curtain on six var-
sity men’s collegiate basketball days
... and after the last game on next
year's schedule Duke, Mike, Wheeze,
George, Merrill, and Bill will hang
up their intercollegiate basketball
shoes
Tonight's scrap offers the states-
men their last possible hope of again
returning to the win column , . . tra-
ditional rivalry in itself 1s not too
difficult an obstacle for the Hatfield
crew to overcome ... but “to break”
the jinx of five consecutive losses
.. after nine consecutive wins ,. .
will prove their greatest handicap
.. and a horse of another color. , .
Regardless of the outcome of our
past five games . . . Coach Hatfield
has given State a satisfactory as
well as a succesful season , . . to-
night's fracas will certainly be pack-
ed with all of traditional rivalry's
keener points which have marked
our clash with the Trojan engineers
on the Page court in previous
years...
Tonight's game will. ., as we have
pointed out ... wind up intercolleg-
fate ball for Tommy Ryan .. . and
whether Ryan can and will turn in
the best performance of his colleg-
jate basketball days is unknown ,, .
but it Is a certainty that Captain
Tommy Ryan will not forget for a
moment that this game is his last
_.. the last time he will wear the
Purple and Gold colors . , . the last
time he will be privileged to give
his best for his alma mater .. . is
it any wonder that no other ball
game in a basketeer's long and
drawn-out career means more to
him than this particular one

big factor in the game; he made a
spectacular shot that traveled three-

was high scorer of the game.

In Rivalry Game
The seniors again displayed their
superiority in the interclass league
by defeating the juniors 24-12 on
Saturday. Since each team could
produce only five p!ayers, a roving
center was used during the entire
game, Phyllis Jobson and Grace
Yorkey paved the way for the senior
victory by accounting for 10 points
apiece. Junior high scorers were
Betty Allen and Phyllis Arnold, who
each netted 4 points.
In an exciting contest featured by
hard playing, the freshman lassies
squeezed out a 20-19 victory over
the sophomores last Saturday in the
play-off of the rivalry series, Helen

probably won't be any more snow,
anyway---until Easter!
Captain Betty Allen has arranged
a practice game with the Skidmore
team for tomorrow afternoon at

be chosen from the teams of all the
classes. After the game the Skid-
more team will be the guests of W.

to meet other schools in friendly
competition in athletic events--first
Skidmore, then Oneonta on March
‘J, and there are plans afoot to hold
a Triangular Telegraphic meet this
spring. Everything is very, very,
tentative, but such a meet would be
run in this way: at the same time,
on thelr own campuses, the three
schools would have a tournament in,
perhaps, archery, At the conclu-
sion of each tournament, the schools
would telegraph their results to a
pre-determined center, and the
name and score of the winner of all
three tournaments would be tele-
graphed back.

Hershkowitz and Hessney
Head All Arrangements
During the past two weeks, W. A.
A, and M. A. A, have made tenta-
tive announcements concerning the
Spring Indoor Sports Carnival which
will take place on March 26th. Now,
they are ready to go into action with
a concrete program.
With Duke Hershkowitz, '39, chair-
man, and Louise Hessney, '40, assist-
ant chairman, it is planned that,
between now and the indoor sports
carnival, each man and woman at
State will be given a comprehensive
recreational sports program in every,
field,
Badminton
It is hoped that Al, Sloman, ath-
letic director of the Albany Y, M.
H. A. and Whitbeck R. Cusick, city
champion will give an exhibition in
Badminton, a sport that has invaded
this country several seasons back
and has risen in popularity on @
par with other indoor sports,
winners of the Badminton tourna-
ment, which will soon take place,
will play in a preliminary exhibi-
tion,
There will also be tournaments
in the other fields of sport to deter-
mine who will take part in the in-
door carnival. In addition, the wine
ners and runners up in the foul
shooting and “21” contests will play
the finals then, It is possible that
the winner and runner up of the
Intramural basketball will give an
exhibition. This will be decided
later on, This will take the place of
the mixed and the interclass rivalry,
The latter will be played later on in
the season,
Square Dancing Exhibition
It is planned to have an exhibition
of folk dancing where the men and
women will do some of the more
complicated square and round
dances to show what our ancesters
in the not so distant past did in
their spare time, It should be not
only amusing but educational as
well to see what our modern farmers
and farmerettes can do.
The boxing program is under Paul
Schmitz, '38, who we remember did
a fine job with the boxing team in
last year’s carnival,
The students who have been ap-
pointed captains and assistant cap-
tains are: Volley ball, Louise Hes-
sney, '40, and Earle Cleaves; Bad-
minton, Marion Rockefeller, '39, and
Bill Thomas, '40; Basketball, Ed,
Melanson, '39, and Betty Allen, '39;
Folk Dancing, June Palmer, '39, and
Stan, Kullman ‘40; Tumbling, Bill
Torrens, '38; Boxing, Paul Schmitz,
‘38; and Fencing, Herb Frankel, '38.

Boxing?????
What has happened to the pugilis-
tle-minded boys? Dropping over to
the Page hall gym to see how things
were progressing the other night--
we found only three fellows "taking" )
it. Is it your policy to sign up for
activities and then forget about
them? Let's see some more faces
down in the gym Monday night,
Starting off with a bang, the foul
shooting contest has just about come
to a standstill, Will those who are
signed up for it please finish what
they've begun? It's holding up the
"21" contest, Here's a word to the
wise—sign up for those activities
that you have time for, Don't sign
up for more than you can do—it
only gums up the works,
Swimming
A fair showing turned out for the
initial swimming last Saturday,
After @ general work-out, Louis
Francello, manager, intends to or-
ganize the boys into different groups
according to their abilities, Lou
says that after an hour of free-for-
all swimming, there will be several
“water games in which everyone will
take part, If you haven't signed up
or weren't down last week, come on
over tomorrow, The time?—Tomor-
row afternoon at 2:30; the place?—
the Public Baths at Central and
Ontario; purpose?—to have a whale
of a good time.
Bowling starts today. Let's see
some action on those alleys — and
don't be ashamed if you've pulled
some boners, You're there mainly
to have a good time and Incidentally
to learn how to bowl,
So the worm turned at last! Let's
see what will happen now in Intra-
mural basketball, Will the under-
dogs change places with those at the
top of the heap? The results should
be of more than a little interest,

Debate Council Plans Radio
Broadcasts Over Local
Networks, Soon
Tonight at 8:15 o'clock in the
Lounge of Richardson hall, State
will meet the star debate team of
Dayton university, which is on the
Eastern tour, according to William
Bradt, '38, president of Debate coun-
cil. The Dayton team debated pre-
viously at Niagara university and
Syracuse university and it has on
its calendar debates with New York
university, Villanova college and
Penn State college.
The men who will represent the
Dayton team are: Daniel Hobbs,
winner of the President’s plaque for
debating in 1936 and winner of Dr,
D. C. Reilly oratorical contest in
1936 and 1937 and George L. Wolf,
manager of Debate in 1937 and 1938,
has three years of university debat-
ing experience in back of him.
Leonard Friedlander and Thomas
Lovalenti, juniors, will uphold the
negative on the question: The na~
tional labor relations board. The
debate will be conducted on the Ore-
gon style which permits cross-ques-
tioning of the opposite teams,
The debate teams had an active
season last semester and an even
more strenuous schedule is planned
this semester. All the debates have
been either panel discussions or non- |
decision debates, Facts count more
in these debates than showmanship,
The debate teams have a combina-
tion of both, with the result that
they are experiencing a successful
season.
The debates are concerned with the |
coming Constitutional convention.
The debates conductea in this city
before the Rotary club and Women's
club, featured the probable issues
that might come up at the conven-
tion, The debates at the colleges
outside the state concerned them-
selves with a discussion of Unicam-
eralism,
Under the guidance of Mr. William
Hardy, instructor in English, the de-
bate squad has become a prominent |
institution at State. Governor Her-
bert H, Lehman sent a letter to Mr.
Hardy, commending the way our
teams have conducted themselves at |
the various debates throughout the
city, Mr. Hardy also has a debate
seminar for all members of the var-
sity.
State college will begin a new in-
novation next month, in that it in:
tends to broadcast its debates over
the local stations.

Helen Fay, Former Co-op Head,
Is Board Member of Magazine
by Charles Kelley
If you are young enough, and are
nding the New York Central this
month, you will be presented the
current issue of “Story Parade," a
popular story magazine for children,
The person largely responsible for
this gift is Miss Helen Fay, a former
member of the faculty of State
college, and former manager of the
college Co-op.
In this issue of “Story Para
the interesting tale of “Curly Top" is
told, Violet Schmidt, of Elkhart,
Indiana, was a young girl of five
when she and her family were forced
to live near the New York Central
Railroad tracks over which the
“Twentieth Century” sped each day,
The swiftly moving train fascinated
Violet, and each day, she would
faithfully come to the same spot and
watch it go by. One day a man in
one of the cars waved, and the small
girl timidly waved back, Thereafter,
this became @ regular event in her
day which could not be omitted for
van thine: not even games and par-
tles, Soon the porters, conductors,
and the whole crew of the train
became accustomed to seeing the
{cheery smile and greeting of “Curly
Top" as the men called her, After
jthree years, the trainmen gave her
the title “Curly Top, the Sweetheart
of the Twentieth Century.” The presi-
dent of the railroad heard about
her, and had Curly Top and her
mother as special guests on the fam-
ous train, Later the young girl was
taken to New York City to celebrate
the birthday of the “Twentieth Cen-
tury.”
‘This incident has been written up
as @ narrative tale for children in
the current issue of “Story Parade,”
Miss Fay, field representative on the
editorial board of the magazine,
realizing the interest and enjoyment
this story would have for young pas-
sengers on the trains, convinced the
railroad officials that they should
buy 1600 copies of the magazine, and
distribute them to their small guests,

Interest in the coming constitu-
tional convention to take place in
the New York State assembly cham-
bers, April 5, is evidenced by the
numerous newspaper articles and
debates in the high schools and
colleges throughout the state. There
will be 168 delegates; three from
each senatoria) district and fifteen
delegates at large. The Republicans
exceed with 91 delegates, the Demo-
crats with 76, and one Fusionist from
New York city,
The people of New York are gov-
erned under the 1895 constitution at
the present time, At the 1915 con-
vention, there was an attempt to re-
vise the constitution but the people
didn't accept the revision, However,
the constitution has been changed
through amendments which have
been voted upon in the regular elec-
tions.
According to Dr. Rienow, instruc-
lor in government, the main. issues
at the convention will be: (1) Gas
Taxes--An attempt by the conven-
Uon to modify the constitution so
that the gas taxes will be used for
highway purposes alone and not dis-
tributed to any other departments
of the government as {t now ts done;
(2) Civil Bervice--An attempt to
strengthen the now existing clvil
service laws in the state and make
them more enforcable; (3) Reap-
portionment will cause the greatest
dispute at the convention because
New York city wants representatives
in proportion to its population while
the up-staters want weighted repre-
sentation; (4) The convention will
take up the reorganizi.tion of state
departments, eliminating some of
them and consolidation of others
in order to get rid of the waste in
ineffictent government,
For the college assembly, the state
State Constitutional Convention
To Meet in Albany Next April
or organized ‘nto as assembly districts districts
which have an assembly leader and
publicity director who contact the
local civic organizations.
Letters from Herbert H, Lehman
and Charles Poletti were received,
praising the work of State college
students for their work and also for
thelr interest in civic government,
Associate commissioner of Educa-
tion, George Wiley, became interest-
ed in the work here. He sent out
messages to the high schools of the
state encouraging the teachers and
students to take active interest in
the coming convention and sug-
gested high school debates as the
means of discussing the issues, The
New York State Education maga-
vine has allowed a page to Dr,
Rienow to discuss the work of State
college students,
At the convention, the public will
be allowed to voice its opinion on
the floor of the assembly, At the
present lime, the committee here
wishes to send a speaker to voice
foe college's opinion in the assem-
bly.
Dr, Rienow recently stated in ref-
erence to the work of the high
schools, “At the discussion groups,
local experts and business men are
called in to give testimony and are
cross-questioned by the students,
hool has reached a decis-
jon, {t secures tno endorsements of
various civic organizations in its
locality, The main object is to
direct public opinion to the {ssues
confronting the people.”
This work gives the students act-
ual practice in the formation of gov-
ernmental law and some idea of the
function and work of their govern-
ment. The students are becoming
citizens of thelr community and will
become effective citizens when they
are able to vote.
