Nelson Enacts
Ban On Slacks
Have you a mental conflict, girls?
little minds such as—are
slacks advisable, are they appro-
priate, they fashionable, are
they permissable? In such a situa-
tion, the wisest thing to do is to
relax,
Here are the “fax” about “slax,”
straight from Dean Nelson's office.
“There is no set law,” said the
Dean, ‘stating whether girls can or
cannet wear ks to class It de-
pends on the situation. We expect
the girls to their own judg-
ment,”
“If a strong blizzard,” he ex-
plained, “were to unexpectedly
come up some morning and the
gir's came to school in slacks, that
weula be perfectly acceptable and
understandable.” He added, “Slacks
would be appropriate in a stage-
craft’ group, or at play rehei
in school on Saturdays. Slac!
ild not be appropriate for ev
classroom garb.
-But, Dean, isn’t there supposed
to be a fuel shortage this year?—
And he said, “So far, the fuel
shortage has not affected State Col-
lege. The rooms are heated at the
cxact same temperature this year as
last.”
But. Dean, lots of other colleges
permit the girls to wear slacks
And the answer was, “But we
must not forget that we are a special

Asks Activities
To Cut Expenses
Decreased Enrollment
Causes Budget Set-Back
Finance Board, in order to avoid
a blanket cut of not more than
five percent. requests all organiza-
tions to maintain the strictest econ-
omy in their respective programs.
in the Student Association budget
At present there is a $1200 deficit
According to Professor George
York, faculty advisor of Finance
Board, the deficit is due to the fact
that the actual enrollment falls short
of the theoretical enrollment upon
which the per capita tax was com-
puted. Finance Board counted on
at least 900 students purchasing tax
tickets, but despite the fact that
every student but one purchased his
ticket, the number was only slightly
over 800.
Reservist Influence
Added to this was the reserve
situation: many reservists were
allowed, upon the Dean's recom-
mendation, to purchase “half-
tickets’ The situation will be
relieved slightly when the few re-
servists who will remain get the
other “half-tickets”
Since appropriations to the Peda-
yogue and Infirmary fund are based
ona certain allotment from each tax
ticket, it is highly probable that they
will not receive the full sum indi-
cated in the approved budget of the
Student: Association.
The dozen freshmen admitted in
January will be required, as are all
throlled students, to become paying
members of the Student Association,
and since this number will not ap-
preciably increase the cost of opera-
tion for any of the organizations, it
will he another small step in the
reduction of the present deficit
Situation Ancient: Stor;
While this may seem serious to
the freshmen, upperclassmen will
find nothing startling in’ the an-
nouncement as to deficit. In former
years the actual enrollment has al-
ways managed to keep slightly un-
der the budget-based enrollment
necessitated at least extreme econ
omy and offen se tine cut as high
ten percen
The Prestiman Handbook and the
Directory have already spent their
tal appropriations and are thus
mmitne to any cut. Other organiza~
tions have already made contracts

The effective use of the zone de-
fense by State's basketball op-
ponents apparently has shown Coach
arry Grogan that a zone can be
an effective defense on the Page
Hall court. After watching Brook-
lyn Poly, Middleburg, and RPI
topple the Purple and Gold, the
Eagles’ mentor switched his team’s
from a man to man to a
zone.
he adjustment that the basket-
ball squad had to make under a
different tutelage was evident in the
Brooklyn Poly contest, their first
under Coach Grogan. The Eagles
appeared helpless. They — didn’t
know what to do with the ball and
rarely followed up their shots.
However, the team found _ itself

In the Pratt contest tomorrow
night, the Statesmen face a formid-

piling up high scores and recently
defeated both RPL and Brooklyn

of the gles, who have been
finding the zone hard to penetrate.

Pratt Strong
Pratt has a starting aggregation of
sharpshooters, each of whom is cap-
able of winning scoring honors. in
any game. Raphael, Kaplowitz,
Hollwedel, MacPhee, and Cavataio

better so far this season. They use

Once more the Eagles from State
have received the disappointing end
of a 60-25 score as they succumbed
to the power of Union, It seems that
the old adage, “In Union there is
strength,” was really borne out
The Statesmen attempted to. set
up a zone defense against the Union
attack, but was forced to shift to
man to man due to its ineflicieney
Even the man to man could not
stop the Union team as they scored

however, presented an impregnable

ules of play
Hansen and Combs shared scor-
ing honors for State with six points
apiece, but their efforts were greit-

For Fourth Win
State College's Junior Varsity
basketball team came through with
its fourth win in the last five games
last Tuesday night by taking the
measure of the Albany College of
Pharmacy, 45-36, displaying. the
same balanced style of play which
has lately been carrying them to

The Purple and Gold took an
early lead, then lost it, and finally
pulled ahead of a desperately fight-
ing Pharmacy five. Bortnick tallied
19 counters for the Eaglets, while
Sweeney poured 13 through the
hoop for the losers.
_ The Jayvees have also played
four other contests since the last
issue of the NEWS, winning three
of these. On Saturday, January 9,
they took the measure of Siena's
junior varsity, a previously un-
beaten team, It was a hard fought
Hume, the teams being separated by
only a few points all during the

The third quarter was the decid-

favor of the Purple and Gold. Bort~
nick and Riccardo were high nen

STATE COLLEGE NEWS, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1943
Bulger, SEB Director, Writes
On ‘Why Remain{in Teaching’
This is the first in a series of ar-
ticles written by prominent figures
at State College on “Why Remain in
Teaching?” This article was written
by Mr, Paul G. Bulger, Director of
the Student Employment Bureau
and Assistant Principal of the Milne
School. Subsequent articles will be
contributed by Dr, John M. Sayles,
President of the College, Dr. Milton
G, Nelson, Dean, and Dr. Robert W.
Frederick, Principal of the Milne
School.
There are one million teachers in
the United States at present. Of
this number, there are about 84,000
in New York State. New York City,
Buffalo, and other large cities em-
ploy about 45,000, leaving 39,000 in
smaller cities and rural communities
of the state. There is a shortage of
teachers at present. Different esti-
mators have reported this shortage
to be from 50,000 to 75,000 in the
country, New York State has its
proportion of this shortage, although
the shortage in the state is
critical as in other states because of
the better salaries that it pays to its
teachers,
At State College we train people
to teach in New York State schools,
Our graduates are placed in some of
the best schools in the state,
Salaries, in this state, for teachers
are on the upgrade. ‘This year many
teachers are beginning at salaries of
$1400 fo $1500. The maximum sal-
ary in some school systems for
teachers with a master's degree is
about $2400. I believe that these
increases will continue, In addition
many schools are giving bonuses
and increments this year to meet the
increased cost of living, What other
profession offers $1400 to a begin-
ner? Lawyers until recently re-
ceived a weekly salary of $6 to $8
when they were starting practicing.
All doctors don’t drive Packards.
However, you must realize that al-
though salaries are being raised at
present, there will soon be a stabil
ization period.
During the last depression, teach-
ing was the only going business.
Even skilled mechanical laborers
entered the teaching profession and
secured certification,
1 also believe that teaching is a
public service. Most of us want to
perform some public service and the
answer to this search can be found
in the teaching profession. In addi-
tion, we have often heard that youth
is the hope of the future. Teaching
affords that opportunity to deal with
youth.
The social standing of teachers is
good. It’s a clean job—a job where
you are constantly growing intellec~
tually.
In a recent survey of over 2000
graduates of State College, it was
found by the Student Employment
Bureau that many graduates are in
the service. About 98", of these
servicemen indicated that they
wanted their folders to be carried
on in the SEB files since they
wanted to return to teaching after
the war is over. This point alone
signifies to me that there is some-
thing in teaching that gets hold of
a man and keeps him in the field
with hing as a life position,
We'll always have schools and
childven. The people of the
of New York alone spend
lion per year on education. New
York State offers some fine schools,
comparatively high salaries and
worthwhile security to those who
remain in teaching
What other profession offers ten-
ure of office (0 those who enter it?

Dr, Samuel S. Dorrance, an
authority on aviation medicine and
a member of the Class of 1932,
After his graduation from State
College, Dr, Dorrance attended Al-
bany Medical College and ranked
first in the United States in. the
National Board Examinations which
are given annually to Senior medi-
cal students. He then served a two
and a half year internship at Mt
Sinai Hospital in New York City
and won a fellowship in medicine to
Johns Hopkins Hospital.
At State Dr. Dorrance was a
member of Myskania, Edward El-
dred Potter Club, and voted the
most popular Senior; as well as
being Editor of the Echo and a
member of the News Board.
Students Wishing Teaching Jobs
Urged to File Data With SEB
Mr. Paul G. Bulger, Director of
Student Employment Bureau, re-
quests all Seniors who wish jobs for
next year to hand in their folders
and pictures immediately. In order
to facilitate interviews, they should
also hand in schedule cards so that
they can be contacted at any time.
Openings for jobs to be filled im-
mediately and in September are
coming in rapidly, To date most of
the openings are in the Commerce
field. There are 15 jobs open for
Commerce students and only 18
students actually registered in the
Commerce department. Other posi-
tions to be filled are as follows
ence, 12; Mathematics, 5; Libra
English, English-Lib A
lish-Social Studies, 2; Social S
English, 3;
h-Spanish, 1; Latin-
Mr, Bulger stresses the problem
which the graduating student faces.
On one hand there is a definite need
for hers in the schools. How-
ever those who apply for a tempo-
rary lice must remember that
they will be at a disadvantage when
the war is over and they are forced
to compete with teachers who have
received their masters degree. Mr.
Bulger feels that it is a personal
problem and he will be glad to talk
to any Senior confronted by these
alternatives,

Junior
ERC Air Cadets
Receive Orders;
Leave March |
Math-Science Majors
May Stay for Semester
The future of State’s enlisted men
took on a new turn this week with
the receipt of orders by Enlisted
Air Corps men and also the possi-
bility of ERC men majoring in
science or math remaining for the
whole semester.
The Enlisted Reserve Air Corps
members received notice for active
duty sometime before March 1.
These orders came through Tuesday.
Although the army continued their
usual vagueness with these orders,
the members in this reserve can
be expected to leave anytime within
the coming three weeks.
Another phase of the situation
was presented Wednesday when Dr.
Milton G, Nelson, Dean of the Col-
lege, met with the 16 math-science
majors. According to one of the
many communiques received by the
Dean, those students in the ERC
who are pursuing approved tech-
nical engineering courses may com-
plete any semester which they be~
gan since January 1.
Although this is not certain, the
wording of the report is such that
these few students may fall into this
category. And a taboo is put on
the idea of changing a major since
the record in possession of the army
the major of a student as of the
ginning of the semester in Sep-
tember, It applies alike to Sopho-
mores, Juniors and Seniors.
“Meteorogical acceptees most like-
ly will not be called to active duty
before beginning their course,” said
the Dean at the meeting. However,
if they should be called, they will
indulge in basic training until the
course opens.
The remaining ERC students are
living in hourly expectation of re-
ceiving their orders. These may
come with 24-hour notice or 10 days.
State College has also been put
on the approval list for training of
aviation cadets. 281 training in-
stitutions of the country were
named. However, this does not
mean that cadets will enter the col-
lege. Only a relatively small num-
ber of those named will be used for
such purpgses, and the odds are that
State will not be one of them.

Junior Weekend Plans Include Class Banquet Today,
Crowning of Prom Queen at Dance Tomorrow Night
by Barba‘a Putnam and J, Michael Hippick:
Banquet
Tonight at Herbert's the Class of
"44 will hold its banquet, begin-
ning at 5:30 P.M, inaugurating
their gala Junior week-end. Fea-
tures of the banquet will be the
enacting of a prophecy, written by
Janet Baxter. Starring in the pro-
duction will be Hal Ashworth, Trece
Aney, Bernard Skolsky, June Ban-
tham, Bill Tucker, Mary Domann,
Ray Verrey, Mildred Wirosloff, Paul
Barselou, Janet Smith, Helen
Brucker, Honey Schoen, Bert Kiley,
Mary Betty Stengel, Russell Blythe,
Ginny Moshak, Leda LaSalle, Rhona
Ryan, and George Erbstein
Also a class history, written by
Hal Ashworth and Betty Gravelle,
will be read. The presentation of
the history and prophecy will mark
the first time a Junior class has
included these at a class banquet
After the food, some will adjourn
to the gym and watch ra, one
of the best basketball teams in the
East, play State, Others, no doubt,
will remain... .
Junior Prom
Tomorrow night in the Ingle
Room of Pierce Hall, Paul Parker's
10-piece orchestra will furnish
music for the Prom. Featuring Lee
Sherman as vocalist, Parker's band
is one of the most popular of the
district, having played at Colgate,
Hamilton, Union, R.P.1., Russell
Sage, St. Rose, and the Albany
Country Club. The outfit plays fox
trots, waltzes, rhumbas and other
novelly numbers.
Bids ure at an unusually low
price, $1.65, and for those who as
yet have not obtained theirs, they
will be sold at the door.
Following the rule of most pre-
vious dances this year, the affair
will be semi-formal, lasting from
9 P.M. to1 A.M.
The Coronation
The haunting crescendo of a tenor
sux—a boogie-woogie beat on ivory
keys—whirling, gliding shadows on
a slippery floor—all these will be
part of the Junior Prom tomorrow
night.
To one girl this dance will be a
great occasion—perhaps the most
thrilling episode of her college
career. It will be HER night, for
she will be crowned Queen of the
Junior Prom, selected for her beauty
and popularity from all the women
of the Class of '44. It is an honor
dreamed of by every entering co-ed,
destined to become a reality to only
one, And who that one will be is
a secret guarded by know-all Mys-
kania, not to be revealed until time
for the coronation.
This year there are six aspirants
to the coveted throne, chosen by a
preliminary vote of the class. They
are: Trece Aney, Georgia Hardesty,
Pat Latimer, Ginny Moshak, Mary
Studebaker, and Mildred Wirosloff.
Certainly we can't go wrong with
such a pulehritudinous group as
that!
It is even possible to compare
these beauteous contestants to the
queens of history. Petite Georgia
Hardesty brings: to mind Mary of
Scotland, envied by Elizabeth for
her auburn hair, the proud tilt of
her chin, her sincere friendliness.
Wonder what Bothwell would have
done if Georgia had been around?
Something about Trece reminds
us of—yes—Cleopatral Now there
was a woman with beauty and
brains and ambition, all rolled in
one snappy package. She managed
Egypt and Anthony with equal suc-
