received that Newman club spon-
sored another appearance of the or-
chestral group in the early part of
this school year, The warm enthusi.
asm which State college students

ation of Mr. Edward Hinkleman,
state director of the Federal Music

If a Thing Is Once Begun —
We know that dozens of student editorials have
been written about lack of school spirit. We've
done them ourselves, and we read them in our
exchanges, As a matter of fact, they are contrary
to all the rules of good journalism, ‘They are
preachy and didactic. So we've decided to take
a direct about-face, and not talk about lack of ;
interest in student affairs.
Yes, we're going to forget all about the fact
that the seniors can rarely get enough people out
to have a quorum for a class meeting. We're yoing
to ignore the failure of the tea dance, We're
going to assume that the juniors had so many press-
ing engagements that they simply couldn't make
their class part
sighted that w not going to see the mere hand-
ful of people who attend the varsity debates.
Instead we're going to look for some other
things. We can see that outstanding dramatic hit,
“Ton Nights in a Barroom.” We are glad ty notice
the crowds at basketball games; the full house at
Marriage commissfon.
We wish we could see only the latter but the
student failures rankle in our minds. Why?
Because this week a new activity will start—a
student and faculty sponsored entertainment, and
there’s one thing that bothers us. Into which group
will it fall?
One Year Ago Today
Reenter Apathy beari.g inactivity, and ine
dolence on each arm.
If we were to run a reminiscing column entitled
“One Year Ago ‘loday,” among the articles would
be one of busy, well-planned activity; namely, the
Greek drama. Students with varying interests were
working on one big project, “Klectra.” The per
formance was a christening event for the new Greek
theatre, behind the Alumni Residence halls
This year, so far, there has not been the soul
satisfying hum of activity, Aside from an attempt
to raise money to pay for the theatre, things are at
a standstill, Why can't some group take the initia-
tive in reviving the event, which was such a success
last year?
We don't object to having to pay to see ‘Ted

we pay money for the upkeep of a frozen asset!

Again — the Administration
Commentstater
And—so what, A lot of us said that last weekend,
and, because of that, the senior tea dance went by the
boards. We thought from the enthusiasm shown by
students when the idea was broached that it would
be a big success, but it wasn't. We're a little sorry
and We hope that next time the wallets won't be quite
so flat. Oh, well, Soiree is coming and that needs
your support so let's start a fund in the old sock and
let’s have one dance this year that won't be a financial
failure, There can be no squawks on the advertising
for this—there's been a real efficient job done so far
on this event. Lots of luck, kids, and may Isham
be a big success.

Today we and all other good fellows assume our
best Irish brogue, wear a bit of green, and smile
all charmingly in honor of St, Patrick. We've just
been reading of this Saint's life and the legend of his
death. It seems he has been sainted because he con-
verted the island of Ireland. We \nink the fact that
he makes the whole world smile a bit for one day
is enough for us, Anyway, a happy-go-lucky St
Patrick's day fer ye’ all,
For the last two weeks we've been suggesting that
the administration change certain things to improve
our tem here at State, We think it would be a
good idea if the faculty chose four students, two seniors
and two juniors, each year to serve on a committee
with faculty members to make suggestions for the
improvement of our college courses,
We suggest this so that the students of the college
| who have ideas on what is needed in State would have
a student group to present their case, This student
group could analyze the suggestion, and, if it was
| worthwhile, they could present the idea to the com-
mittee. Here it could be seriously discussed, and if
thought workable, the change could be made,
Tf it did not look feasible, the idea could be dropped,
and the student who originated the idea could find

“Resolved: That this Forum urge
the return of the kindergarten state
aid bill from the Ways and Means
committee and its release to the

The reovttion was adopted after
a spirited dcussion led by Irene

action “vas approved finally by an
overwh'Iming majority.
John Walden, '40, treasurer of the
Forum, introduced an amendment
to the organization's constitution
lowering the dues to ten cents aj

Technical triumphs and pleasurable entertainment!
That's our verdict on the productions of Jast Tues
evening. It was one of the most unique performances
Advanced Dramatics has brought to us.
The first play, Mr, Bogosta's, was something to
show the raison d'etre of Advanced Dramatics, Truly,
iL Was an experimental play. Needless to say, the audi-
ence Was well pleased with the experiment.
The striking set, with its odd, but appropriate
lighting was technically perfect, Its expressionistic
motif of the inner human organs was keyed perfectly
to the theme of the play.

The second play of the evening was an unexpected
bit of trivality. Possibly the best summation we heard
was the comment of a playgoer leaving Page hall,
“why, it seemed just like a senior stunt that had
been thoroughly rehearsed and expertly staged.”

There is a demand for swimming as
a spring sport, since it was not
offered during the winter. The points
to be settled before a decision is
reached concerning swimming are:
first, whether the demand for the
sport is actually large enough to
compensate for its heavy running
costs; and second, whether swim-
mers would be willing to have the
sport conducted as bowling has been

To Aid Refugees
icause of lack of interest. -_
Volunteers Plan Instruction
with Local Supervisor
of Social Group
The refugee problem in Albany
has been met here at State college
with the appointment of a com-
mittee several weeks ago by Stu-
dent council to plan a program re-
garding the refugees in Albany.
Members of this committee are
Marion Rockefeller, Leonard Fried-
lander, Betty Hayford, seniors, and
members of Myskania, senior cam~-
pus leadership society; Geraldine
Ewing, Lloyd Kelly, and Max Sykes,
juniors; Ada Parshall, '41, and Paul
Merritt, '42.
In going about its work, the com-
mittee is following a two-fold plan—
permitting one refugee to audit
Classes, and tutoring a group of
refugees in English, This work has
been recognized in a recent report
of the Intercollegiate Committee of
the United States to Aid Refugees,
when the following appeared: “New
York State College for Teachers is
unable to raise funds but has plans
for permitting one refugee to audit
classes, and also has plans for tu-
toring a group in English.”
The committee has already se-
cured the permission of President
Brubacher for Dr. Gumpel, a refu-
gee from Germany, to audit classes |
this semester. Arrangements have
also been made for several students
to tutor many of the refugees in
the city. The following students
have volunteered for this work:
Marcia Brown, Noreen Cappiello,
Betty Cummings, John Eckel, Ain-
ard Gelbond, Marion Hinden, Henry
Kraatz, David Kreher, Hannah La-
kritz, Thomas Parson, Baird Pos-
kanzer, Pearl Starr, David Mins-
berg, Anne Kalichman, Mildred
Streifer, and Lillian Frank,
Every Wednesday this group meets
under the supervision of Miss Ce-
cilia Shapiro, from the Jewish So-
cial service in Albany. Miss Sha-
piro, a graduate of State college, also
teaches refugees and in the Wed-|
nesday meetings goes over her plans |
with the volunteer students, who
give the refugees individual instruc- |
tion, The committee wishes to ex-
press their appreciation to Miss
Shapiro for valuable suggestions,
