- Last Friday's Pratt contest wrote
‘finis to the Varsity basketball
schedule for this year and perhaps
for the duration, On the basis of
a win and loss record the basket-
ball season was far from impressive.
On the basis of maintaining a team
and completing the schedule, it was
a complete success,
From the very beginning the
1942-43 basketball schedule has
been “walking a tight rope”. Sched-
ule and transportation difficulties,
change in coaches, and the call of
players in the armed services have
all at one time or another threat-
ened to disrupt the proceedings.
Despite these difficulties the sched-
ule was completed, and just in time.
Eagles Had Spirit
Though the Eagles were victori-
ous in only one contest, it was not
because they lacked a fighting
spirit. In only one game did they
give up the ghost (the Brook-
lyn Poly game), Every contest found
the Purple and Gold representatives
fighting to the very end. The
Eagles seemed to play their best
ball when they were behind. In
fact, they acquired the title of
second-half team,
Sincere gratitude and apprecia-
tion. are due to Coach Harry Gro-
gan. At a time when the main-
tenance of basketball was seriously
threatened by Coach Hatfield’s de-
parture, Mr, Grogan, upon request,
willingly undertook ‘the job as the
Eagle's mentor in addition to his
already full time job as Milne'’s
physical instructor.
Grogan’s Contributioi
For his extra duties as State’s
coach, Mr, Grogan is receiving no
monetary reward. His work with
the Purple and Gold cagers has
been entirely a personal contribu~
tion. Nor did he spare any efforts
in his new duties,
The present coach made arrange-
ments so as to devote as much time
to coaching the Varsity as Coach
Hatfield did, Starting in the middle
of a season with a new squad is not
an easy assignment for anyone.
Without losing precious time, Coach
Grogan assumed his new duties the
very next day after former Coach
Hatfield resigned, and has done a
swell job of it, even though victories
did not come this way.
Congratulations, Coach, and
thanks a lot!
Feminine Sextets
Fight for Lead
Basketball continues to be the
most popular women's sport of the
season, The games this week were,
as usual, fast and were played with
a spirit’ of friendly rivalry pre-
dominating,
In the first encounter, the seem-
ingly invincible Delta-Beta-Chi’s,
led by Domann who rolled up 24
points, defeated a peppy Psi Gam
team. The score, 34-27, is closer
than any made by D-N-C so far
The game was exciting with both
teams sinking wild and impossible
shots, Slack was the star for Psi
Gam with 14 points.
The second contest had more ac-
tion than its low score would in-
dicate. Moreland eked out a 14-10
victory over Beta Zeta with Daly's
5 baskets pacing the winners.
The final game of the evening
saw Cooper House defeat Wren by
the score of 24-19. Hurlihy of
Cooper with 10 and Seymour of
Wren with 13 points led their re-
spective teams.
As the on progresses more
and more interest is shown in the
outcome of the league
M P's Defeat Potter
Albany MP's came to State last
Saturday afternoon and handed
Potter Club a 60-47 defeat, Fuch,
with 22 pointy and Dee with 18
points starred for the Army which
yot off to an early 10-point lead
but were held down the rest of the
game. Both of these men have
played college basketball. Mullen,
Evans and Singer were the bright
lights in Potter with 13, 12 and 12
points respectively.
Statesmen Finish Schedule,
Pratt Takes Finale 60-51
Ramblers Lose,
EEP Leads Loop
~ Dorm Upsets KB; 18-15,
Loses to KDR In Overtime
Monday eve the Finks topped the
winning crest of the Ramblers by
downing them 30-12. This defeat
dropped last week’s league leaders
to second spot, Potter moving to
top position. Getting the lead soon
after the tip-off, the victors took
a 12-7 halfway score and length-
ened it in the final periods as they
ran through their opponents. Olivet
led his squad with 15 counters,
Last Thursday the Ramblers eked
a win over KDR in a rough and
tumble overtime battle. The Lake
St. quintet led at halftime but late
in the final quarter the Ramblers
tied the score with two foul shots
at 15-all and in the extra three
minutes they got four points to their
opponents’ one to win, 19-16,
In the second game the Dorm
provided an upset in outscoring the
KB team 18-15, The winners were
held scoreless after the intermission,

but found their 18-7 lead sufficient
to allow them to coast along while
the losers played a poor brand of
ball, both cflensively and defen-
sively.
In Tuesday's games Potter Club
regained its first place position by
scoring an all-out victory over the
SLS aggregation. They established
a comfortable 31-12 lead in the first
half and ran it into a 61-30 final
score. “Red” Evans set up a new
individual scoring mark for a single
game with 23 counters, while two
teammates, Kiley and Singer, col-
lected 15 and 14 apiece, Ashworth
stood high for his team with 11,
In the other contest KDR scored
a thrilling overtime win over the
Dorm. After the lead alternated
each quarter and the winners gained
a 14-11 nod after two periods, Bom-
bard scored a hair-raising field goal
with three seconds left to knot the
game at 30-all.
Beach scored a lone basket in the
overtime to give KDR its 32-30 ad-
vantage. He also led the Lake
Streeters with 11 points while Ch
lemi put in 20 for the losing cause.
Cager Spotlight
Last but not least, the Cager
Spotlight includes “Moose” Gerber
and Max Braun, Although neither
of the two have seen varsity action,
their presence on the team proved
helpful on many occasions, Moose
was incapacitated by an injury suf-
fered in the intramural football
season, while Max lacked the
sary height and experienco,
“Moose,” playing for the third
year on the varsity, is the man who
showed his value by scoring eight
points in New York last weekend
I's too bad we didn’t have him
around more often this year. His
left-handed bility would have
proved very valuable He's in V-7
Max showed his bility partieu-
larly well in the Brooklyn Poly
yame when he kept stealing the ball
from the opposition. A fast man,
his natural ability was aided by a
year of experience with Siena JV
before coming to State,
Max is a member of the ERC and
will probably be here until the end
of this semester
RICE’S ALLEYS
Western and Quail
l5e a Game for School League
From 9:00 A. M. to 6:00 P. M.
Win One of Twelve;
Four Players Standout
The migrating Eagles have re-
turned from Brooklyn defeated in
their finale with the powerful Pratt
quintet. It was the second time
this season they succumbed to the
Techmen but this performance was
much more commendable than their
last. Instead of bearing a thirty-
point deficit when the fortieth min-
ute passed, the Eagles were fighting
and threatening Pratt's nine-point
lead,
For the first time in many games,
State played “first half” ball reach-
ing the intermission in a 26-26
deadlock. In the third quarter they
assumed a two-point lead which
they held for some time, finally
relinquishing it as the final period
began. Partly due to lack of sub-
stitutes and partly due to the size
of the court, the Statesmen tired,
and Pratt won,
Ruback Stars
Ruback displayed a little of last
year's form as he netted fifteen
points to surpass the 13 and 11 of
Hansen and Mullen. However, as
in the earlier game, the sharpshoot-
ing of Raphael and Kaplowitz
spelled disaster to the Eagle de-
fense, and constituted the difference.
The 51 points the Statesmen were
able to garner in this game swelled
their season's total to 444 points as
comp to their opponents’ 644,
This 200-point difference tells the
story without a doubt for the points
meant 11 loses in 12 games; the
only win being a one-point victory
over our arch rivals, RPI.
Bright Spots
Throughout the twelve games the
only bright spots were the victory
over RPI and the showing against
to whom victory was con-
in advance,
ceded far in advance. At times the
team showed flashes of first
basketball with Combs, Hansen,
Marsland, and Mullin forming the
spearhead of the Eagles’ sporadic
attack, Since one of the scorebooks
was misplaced, the box scores of
several games are not available,
but as far as can be ascertained,
Hansen, Combs, and Mullin, in that
order, were the high scorers of the
season,

As the race for the Intramural

other race, that for scoring leader-
ship, shares the spotlight. Dick
Chillemi, sparkplug of the Dorm
cagers, took over the lead in this
race when he scored 20 points to
bring his season's total to 81.
His closest rivals are Dingman
of the Ramblers with 67 points, and
Gipp and Olivet of EEP and the
Finks respectively with 59 points
each,
_ In considering points scored it is
important to note also the number
of games played. Chillemi’s 10.2
average for eight games is also high,
although in four games Evans has
maintained almost the same aver-
age,

Publicity Group
Holds Meeting,
Formulates Plans
Schroon Lake Seniors
To Make Tour of State
‘The committee appointed last
week by Dr, John M. Sayles, Presi-
dent of the College, for the purpose
of publicizing State College and its
facilities, met twice this last week.
This committee, after considerable
discussion, turned out several ideas
which, if’ put in working order,
should help the college to attain its
goal of 400 freshmen next fall
Inspiration for one of these plans
was the impending arrival in Albany
of a group of Schroon Lake high
school seniors, who are making
an annual Spring trip to Albany
rather than to Washington, In ad-
dition to the usual sight-seeing
tours, they will be shown through
State College. The Junior Guides
will show them through the build-
i nd point out places of interest.
Latimer, ‘44, as chairman
of the Junior Advisors, will be in
charge of this project. The high
school seniors will be entertained
at Sayles Hall and eat Sunday din-
ner there. The project is scheduled
for this week-end.
High School Visits
The Publicity Committee intends
to contact the Albany Chamber of
Commerce to suggest that other
high school classes in the state also
make Albany the destination of
their annual trips. The college
would then go through the same
procedure for those other schools,
giving itself valuable publicity by
placing itself before the eyes of high
school seniors.
Dr. Milton G. Nelson, Dean, has
submitted the list of applicants for
admission before the Committee and
plans are being made to contact
State College alumni residing in the
towns where these applicants live,
in order to inform and interest these
applicants in the college. Mrs. Ag-
nes Underwood, Secretary to the
Alumni Association, has prepared a
form letter which will be typed out
by members of the Commerce De-
partment. Mr, James Gemmell, In-
structor of Commerce, will be in
charge of this typing project
Junior Guides Will Aid
In addition to the itinerant inter-
views which will be conducted by
Dr. Nelson, there will also be inter-
views here ut the College itself
The Junior Advisors will aid in
this by taking the applicants on
tours of the College. In regard to
admission requirements, Dr. Nelson
wishes to emphasize the changes
which will allow more students to
apply for admission
Another plan for publicizing col-
lege facilities consists of sending
more articles to home town and

Student Assembly to Vote
On Three Amendments
ERCS to Receive Orders
Within Week or 10 Days
Dr, Milton G, Nelson, Dean of
the College, yesterday received a
communication from the Head-
quarters of the Second Service

follows:
“Members of the Enlisted Re-
serve Corps who will be order:

“If students remain in College
awaiting receipt of these orders,
should make definite ar-
rangements at their homes for the
immediate forwarding of all offi-
cial correspondence.
What will be the fate of stu-
dents who are majors in Science

cided. The directive received yes-
terday seemed to apply only to
those in fields other than those
mentioned above. Nothing can be
determined until the actual orders

Resolutions to Propose
Finance Board Changes
Members of Student Association
in this morning’s assembly will pass
judgment on three amendments to
the Student Association Constitu-
ion, introduced on February 26.
The first of the two resolutions
introduced by Harold Ashworth, '44,
for Student Council pertains to
Finance Board, This resolution
would completely abolish Article IX
of the Constitution, substituting in-
stead three separate sections which
would also include the material now
in the Article.
Section 1 of the Amendment
reads; “All expenses of the Asso~
ciation and all authorized indebted~
shall be met by a per capita
t levied annually.” This is as
the Constitution now reads.
Section 2, however, introduces
new materi: Under the amend~
ment, Finance Board would “pre~
vent the transfer of runds by any
organization . . , from one line of
its budget to another.” This would
prevent the expenditure of money
on items which are not mentioned
in the organization's budget.
Also, “Finance Board shall pre-
vent the transfer of funds from any
organization , . . to any other or-
ganization.” ‘Two years ago, an
organization exceeded its income
somewhat, and transfered this ex-
cess to another organization, Should
the bill be passed, this procedure
would be probibited,
Further Restrictions
“The Finance Board may at any
time impose further restrictions on
the finances of organizations receiv-
ing support from the Student Tax,”
Should the amendment pass with
this clause, it would give the
Finance Board power to cut any
budget of any organization, increase
it, or withhold funds already ap-
propriated by the Student Associa-
tion, It would indirectly remove
the prerogative of the Student Body
to accept or reject items or whole
budgets of any organization,
However, the last clause of the
whole amendment reads: “decisions
of Finance Board may be appealed
to the Student Council and thence
to the Association as provided in
the By-Laws of the Constitution,
Section 4, which states that upon
the petition of 25 members of the
Association against a ruling of Stu~
dent Council, an appeal may be
made to the Association and the
latters’s ruling accepted,
May Question Items
The new amendment further
grants Finance Board, through the
medium of the Student Auditor to
question any expenditure of any
organization receiving funds from
the Student Tax
‘The second Student Council reso-
lution pertains to the relation of
Student Council and the Budget,
"Article V, section 2 of the Consti-
tution entitled Duties of Student
Council be amended by adding, ‘To
formulate and submit the Student
Association Budget in such a man~
ner us it sees fit, acting coopera~
lively with organizations receiving
funds from the Student ow
This proposition was offered in an
attempt to. curtail the
fusion and “the — pas:
Budget without the full considera~
tion of its merits.” Under the pre:
ent system, the tentative budget of
each organization is submitted to
Finance Board. The heads of each
organization then meet and reduce

Strengthening Finance Board
Two weeks ago Student Council presented
the Student Association with two Constitu-
tional Amendments designed to strengthen the
financial system of the Association. In reality
the amendments presented are vague and are
couched in general terms. Such phrases as
“question and expenditure’, “impose further
restrictions, “in any manner as it sees fit’,
only tend to complicate matters still more.
The effect of the following substitute amend-
ments, embodying the merits of those in-
troduced by Student Council, will serve to
strengthen an otherwise weak financial struc-
ture:
ARTICLE IX
Finances
Section 1, All the expenses of the Association and
all authorized indebtedness shall be met by a per
capita tax, levied annually, The finances shall be
under the jurisdiction of the Board of Audit and
Control, whose membership and election is provided
for in Article VIL.
a. The Board of Audit and Control shall provide all
organizations receiving money from the Student Asso-
ciation treasury with uniform sets of books and in-
structions for their use.
b. The Board of Audit and Control shall prevent
the transfer of funds by any organi:
line of its budget to another, The Board shall also
prevent the transfer of funds from one organization
to another
¢. The Board of Audit and Control is authori
appoint a competent auditor who shall ch
books of each organization. The Board shall publish a
bi-monthly statem of Student Association finances
containing the current receipts and expenditures of
each organization,
d. The Board of Audit and Control shall see to it
that all monies din any manner whatsoever by
any organization shall become a part of the treasury,
and shall not be used by the carning organization
except through legal budetary channels, No monies
in the treasury may be spent in any way except by
strict accountability through a youcher system.

President of Student Association as chairman, formu

accounts and stat 5, prove the justification of each

Board shall have the power by majority vote to cor-

Hicks Explains Protlems Facing Prospective Teachers;
Each Must Decide How to Give Greater Service
This is the first instalment of the
fifth article in a series which will
appear in the News on “Why Re-
main in Teaching?” They are writ-
ten by eminent members of the
faculty. This article is by Dr. J.
Allen Hicks, Professor of Education,
Should I quit teaching and join
the WAAC? Should I try to get a
job in a war industry? As teachers
in service and as students preparing
to teach, those of us who still have
a choice. are asking ourselves such
questions and giving various an-
swers. These are the obvious,
spoken questions, but fundament-
ally each of us is asking two ques-
tions of ourselves,—Would I get
more personal satisfaction out of
some activity other than teaching?
and would I make a greater con-
tribution to the common welfare
through services other than teach-
ing?
To the extent to which we are
selfish and socially irresponsible
persons, the question of personal
alisfaction is our main concern
Restless, because we are living in
uncertain times, bored because
do not find a challenge in teaching,
worried by our personal problems.
attracted by the greater immediacy
and drama of other activities, we
leave teaching to gain for our-
selves greater personal satisfactions
through better pay, greater prestige
or more adventurous living,
Social Contributions
To the extent to which we
socially minded we give conc
the question as to how we can make
our greatest social contribution, We
are genuinely concerned to know
whether te ing is really as im-
portant to the nation’s welfare
we are told, Most of our work in
schools is unspectacular, None of
us will win badges for excellence in
production. The effects of our ef-
forts to influence the behavior of
our pupils are often uncertain. We
must rely upon faith rather than
upon conerete evidence. When the
: of the nation trembles in the
p, teaching children to re:
may seem drab and unimportant
We wonder if it is worthwhile to
attempt to develop appreciations of
the good and beautiful in art, music
and literature in a world in which
the gods of war seem to destroy
faster than we build, We wonder
if perhaps this desperate urgency
does not demand that our efforts
should be expended in the armed
services or in producing vital prod-
ucts of food and machines of war
No one of us can presume to an-
swer these questions for another
Zach of us must make our decision
in relation to our particular. cir-
cumstances, We would not criticize
the married man with children who
leaves a $1400 teaching position to
earn much more in aw war industry
if the community does not adjust
his sakry to meet the rising costs
of living. Surely it is unfair to tell
such a man it is his patriotic duty
to stay in teaching. If teaching. is
important, then the — commun
must show it thinks so by paying
adequate salaries ‘Teachers are
people and cannot live on patriot

fare

At WAA Super Sports’ Spree
By Margo Byrne
+ Girls of State—shake a leg—wig-
gle your ears (it helps your sinus
anyway)—limber up those atro-
phied muscles in preparation for
that rowdy rumpus—Harp’s Riot
(plug) or just in expectation of
Spring, beautiful Spring. Where?
Why, at WAA’s annual Sports Spree
which is going to make the steel
beams of Page Hall Gym tremble
from 8 to 12 P.M. tonight.
At the door tags will be given
out to assign the girls to teams (this
to build up a healthy, happy spirit
of competition). Then they wander
about and amuse themselves as
fancy dictates, Badminton, basket-
ball, volleyball, dodgeball, ping-
pong and darts should cater to the
varied tastes of WAA's guests,
For those whose talents run to
watching rather than playing, the
Saturday morning martyrs will offer
a fencing exhibition. Is it for noth-
ing that these brave souls have
routed their sleepy heads out of
bed on practically the break of day
every Saturday? If only to prove
that we appreciate them, let us give
them riotous support this evening.
Those girls who can really take
a beating may join in the folk danc-
ing. However, WAA assumes no
responsibility for injury.
To fittingly climax an exciting
evening, a free lunch will be served.
Need more be said?
Dot Townsend and Mary Domann
are co-chairmen of the affair. Dot
urges all girls to come “for fun and
frolic." She says, “Perhaps you'll
discover that some sports you never
have tried are loads of fun. Be-
sides, who'd want to miss our Round
Robin Ping-Pong game?”
For the uninitiated this is played
by several girls on each side in-
stead of the usual one or two, Each
girl attempts a return and then
passes the paddle on to the next.
Novel, yes? Don't forget you are
invited to join in and enjoy your-
selves, Come one; come all.
Psi Gamma Leading
As Bowling Nears End
The WAA bowling tournament is
drawing to a close and a great deal
of interest is being shown in the
last games.
Psi Gamma, which has lost no
match as yet, holds a strong lead in
first place, Cooper House is second
and Newman Hall is in the third
place. Tied for the fourth rank
are Kappa Delta and Gamma
Kappa, Moreland Hall and Phi
Delta are tied for the fifth position,
Tuesday, Cooper House heat
Newman Hall in two games, and
Kappa Delta won two games from
Gamma Kappa Phi, These contests
will be finished this afternoon, in
order to get the final scores.
The team standings are figured
according to a point system based
on scores. Cooper, in second place,
is only three points ahead of More-
land and Phi Delta, (tied for lu
place), so it is impossible to predic!
which team will finally come out
second, due to this slight difference,
Credit goes to Helen Stuart, '45,
for her league game of 213—the
highest score turned in so far.
Lois Dann, captain of bowling,
says U io far, this has been a
very successful season and that she
hopes to see the completion of the
tourney next Friday.

Singer Leads In
Scoring Turmoil
The increased tempo of the intra-
mural schedule has caused changes
in the race for scoring leadership.
Hal Singer forged into the lead, dis-
placing Chillemi, who was idle this
week, as both individual and team
scoring record were smashed re-
lentlessly.
EEP set what is perhaps an all
time high in intramural competi-
tion with 61 points, Two nights
later Singer tallied 28 points against
KDR to smash another all time
record,
Other statistics show that SLS
has either played the cleanest ball
(or covered up the best) for they
have committed only 48 fouls in
eight games. Potter ‘still holds the
offensive lead with 383 points in
ten games, while the Ramblers
claim the title of best defensive
team,

EEP Wins Trio;
Nears I-M Title
Potter Club practically assured
itself of the intramural basketball
championship Wednesday afternoon
when they defeated the second place
Rambler team. One win in their
next two starts will bring them the
trophy, now in College House’s pos~
session.
In gaining its third victory in as
many days, the State Street quintet
outpointed the Ramblers 32-23 in a
hard fought game. The losers kept
within striking distance during the
first two periods, but brilliant team-
work and passing enabled the vic-
tors to draw away in the second
half after leading 16-12 at inter-
mission,
Monday night Potter Club avenged
an earlier defeat by overcoming

Poll Voices Complaints
Against Residence Council
In an attempt to determine the
is and extent of the complaints
inst Reside Council, a_ poll
was liken of fifty girls chosen at
random. A majority of the girls
interviewed were from the main
dormitory, but there were also
representatives from other group
houses—Moreland, Farrell, Newman
and sorority houses. The form was
distributed equally to each class.
Forty-three of the 50 girls felt
that some revision of Residence
Council organization should be
made. A majority of the girls
were in favor of proportional rep-
resentation,
In reply to the question “Do you
think that there should be a re-
vision of Residence Council rules?”
49 out of the 50 replied in the
affirmative. Of this numbe: 10

Others mentioned specific rule

banning blanket permissions, Men-
tioned less frequently were the
rules about having no late permis-
sions after a warning, and dismiss=

The girls stressed the fact that
a ureat deal of the difficulty seemed
to arise from a misunderstanding
of the rules and their interpretation.
