“Dutch Treat”
STATE COLLEGE N
Dating
Becomes College Issue
by David Minsberg
Your inquiring reporter sits down
to write with a smirk on his face—
and can you blame him—it was a |°
yery pleasant job he chose; in toto,
interviewing and hounding all the
beauties at State college. As usual
we started on the freshmen, We
accosted Ginny McDermott in the
hall and she seemed not to resent
it so we proceeded with this ques-
tion, “Do you favor ‘dutch treats’ on
a date, that is each party paying his
own expenses?” “What! definitely
not!” She stamped her foot indig-
nantly, “Do you think I'm going to
pay a fellow to take me out?” Cow-
ed, we quietly sneaked off into a
corner for a half-hour until we re-
gained our bravado, and then decid-
ed that the mens’ viewpoint would
be more welcome.
Arnold Ellerin, a young, innocent-
looking freshman, was the next vic-
tim. To the query Ellerin answered
.2
I favor them, because I'm liable to
make myself too popular on the
ampus.” Our other pulchritudinous
assay was Muriel Goldberg, She,
with that Myskanial attitude, an-
swered, “Is this another case where
it’s the woman who pays?” John
O'Brien summed up the thought of
the male student body in his concise
statement, “If she’s willing why I
won't try hard to stop her.”
Remember this discussion the next
time you go out on a date, and see
if you can’t make some practical
use of these suggestions,

Chemistry Club Dinner
Will Mark Anniversary
‘The Chemistry club will celebrate
its twenty-fifth anniversary at its
annual benquet Wednesday night,
November 30, in the college cafe-
teria, according to William Mollen-
kopf, '38, presiednt of the club, All
the charter members and past presi-
dents have been invited to attend,
and all members are urged to come,
At this time, approximately fifty
new members will be initiated, The
Initiation committee is composed of
George Mallinson, ‘38, Joseph Mc-
Keon, ‘40, Robert Clark and Anthony
Wilczynski, juniors.
Mr. John J, Sturm, assistant in-
structor in chemistry, and George
Mallinson. '38, are co-chairmen of
the banquet committee.
gravely. “Once in a while it’s all
right, but the fellow should not make
a habit of paying.”
We left. this wise frosh and ap-
proached two sophomores. “Toad
Fairbanks, who was busy, answered
gruffly, “Custom being what it is,
and I having money in my pockets,
T'll prefer to pay the way.” Ap-
proaching Doris Shultes with pre-
caution (remembering our experience
with that freshman) we received a
more yerbose reply: “If the fellow
and girl go around for a long time,
then it's different, Besides girls as
a rule don't have money, and the
fellows work, so...”
The juniors were more solidified
in their opinion, Marion Minst sald,
“If the fellow brings it up, he should
pay.” Dee Jesse exclaimed, “It's
a terrible idea, I'd rather stay
home.” Eddie Cassavant said, with
mature sagacity, “In an informal
date, it's all right but it would be
embarrassing in a formal date.”
Representing the junior men is Joe
Wells, We cornered him and he
finally gave this off, “I wouldn't
like it, I'd feel kinda foolish propos
ing the idea of paying to her.”
Tt was among the seniors, however,
that we found the most diversified
comment, Millie Nightingale re-
plied, “It's not a bad idea in a way;
but let me go no farther than to say
that I will not cater to such an idea
under any circumstances.” Paul
Dittman confined himself to the |
brief remark, “Yes, a great idea—if
she's a rich widow.” Our Campus
Queen, in one of her more condes-
cending moods, retorted to our query
in this wise, “I’m afraid to say that

bly announced today that leaders in
the slate government, prominent
business and professional men, have

blies, in the Capital district. Ac-
cording to members of the faculty,
it has been learned that State

Shades of 2,2 di-methyl, 4 iso-
propyl, 5, 6, di-cthyl nonatrie-
enyne, 3, 5, 7! The Chemistry
club celebrated its silver anni-
versary with a sumptuous spread
in the cafeteria Tuesday night.
Past presidents were much in
evidence, as President Mollen-
kopf introduced assistant profes-
sor William Kennedy, who was
the first president of the club
when it was organized in 1912,
and Mrs, Kennedy of the class
of 1914; Miss Gladys Crodge,
1922-23; Clyde Slocum, 1928, and
Miss Irma Melthouse, 1931, Wil-
liam Fullagar, 36, and Ray Fisk,
‘37, were expected, but were evi-
dently lost on the way. Professor
Barnard S. Bronson and other
members of the chemistry de-
partment were also present.
After what consensus of opin-
jon indicates was one of the
most sati: ing meals, (unlimit-
ed ice cream), in the history of
cafeteria banquets, the club ad-
journed to room 250, where a
horde of neophytes were initia-
ted into membership, upon pre:
entation of skits for the edifica-
tion of their elders, One eager
aspirant was introduced to H20
through the medium of a funnel,
while President Mollenkopf and
the faculty came in for unex-
pected ribbings.

Contribute Old Books
Last week, the Red Cross drive, lead by
Myskania, met with an enthusiastic support
on the part of the student body. This spirit
we commend heartily. However, following
up on this enthusiasm, the “Nuvws” is con-
ducting a campaign in conjunction with the
library, along slightly different lines.
Each year calls come in from the various
hospitals of disabled veterans of the world
war for books and magazines which the
college students have no longer use.
Hitherto, there has been no organized agen-
cy to meet with these requests,
Beginning Monday, the “Nuws" will
place a box underneath the pencil sharp-
ener at the perisiyle entrance to the library,
Students desiring to contribute books or
magazines as part of this campaign may de-
posit them in this convenient receptical,
Also, if in your check-up your should
come across library books which have some-
how by mistake been taken out from the
library, please deposit these in this box,

While this book devotes a great deal of space to
the actual function and administration of an appoint-

of Information on teacher placement and selection,

the modern day when more than elght hundred colleges
have set up teacher appointment offices,
The book emphasizes the importance of the place-
ment office as a reference for statistics on pervious
placements, a review of the best leads and opportuni-
les, and guidance in selecting fields according to the
supply and demand data,
One section of the book gives Illustrations of some of
the problems confronting the placement officer, Not

Yeah, we're off! In more ways

desire to fill up the space on the

a defunct and corpse-like organiza-

that it is irretrievable because per-
sons refused to pay the dollar fee.
Now, this is not the triviality it
seems—but we believe that it could
be revived and Dracula-like walk
again, Cost could be decreased and
then more might be interested. We
think it would be swelegant, But it
must come from an interested group
and not from two or three leaders,
The fault with the organizing will
probably be in the fact that a few
persons interested in all activities
will lead the group who'll follow

PLAYGOER.
Perhaps the Advanced Dramatics
class is under the impression that it
can rest on its laurels, The two
plays presented Tuesday, November
93 showed a complete lack of finish.
Is it more rehearsal they need; is
it more careful attention to detail;
or is it a finer appreciation of the
type of material they attempt to
render?
Both plays were a disappointment,
‘We are sorry to say that the aud-
ience missed the point of Miss Chris-
ler's play? Why? Our suggestion is
that the cast failed to carry to the
audience that spark of Irish imag-
ination and patriotism that makes
the play ring true.
Miss Whelan brought an artifi-
ficlalily and theatricality to a part,
the keynote of which, we had always
felt should be a powerful simplicity.
The emotional appeal which the boy
must have felt to make his follow-
ing the old woman inevitable—this
Miss Whelan did not get across to
us. Mr, Meehan did look the part,
and had a few convincing moments,
|Mr. Doran had what seemed to be
the only authentic Lrish accent in
the play.
Miss Donnelly'’s character was out
of place in a peasant cottage, Her
cultural voice and delicate manner
struck a false nove, The play was
well mounted, with sets, costumes,
and props lending a note of authen-
ticity to the play. And in the last
few minutes of the action a fine
pitch was reached and sustained,
|When the curtains finally closed,
|however, we could not feel that we
had glimpsed that spiritual fire that
kept Ireland alive.
Mis Haas’ play missed being a very
ful drawing room comedy by
cident of being played three
too slowly, The play was a
succession of speeches, some of them
well played, The set was probably
the least interesting one of the sea-
son, Our first impression of it being
|a confusion of doors and windows,
Mr, Nordell was the only convin-
cing character in the play. He was
interesting throughout; his make-up
was good, and some of his speeches
were delightful. In addition, his
English accent was the only perma-
nent accent in the play, ‘That of the
others disappeared in the course of
action,
Mr, Walters never let us feel that
he was doing anything but acting.
Miss Sinovoy labored under a re-
markably poor makeup job, and
seemed definitely miscast,
Mr, Karpen's meager part did not
seem to warrant his obvious self-
confidence,
Let Us hope that future directors
of light comedy will strive for quick
tempo, subtlety, smoothness, and
that careful casualness that is so
necessary in this type of play.

this past week and possibly Fred
Day, who has also been laid up.
Last year the Dorpians handed
the State yearlings a decisive set-
back, and nothing would be sweeter
to a Statesmen’s ear than a victory
for the “A & W" boys,
The freshmen starting lineup will
be selected from Charlie Quinn,
Jerry Saddlemire, or Walt Daniel-
wicz at the forward berths; Phil
Sullivan, Patsy Turino, or Joe Sch-
wartz at the guarding posts; and
Roy McCreary or Johnny Yatsenik

For the past two weeks the frosh

Group House Intramurals
For the first time in its history
intramural basketball will not be
conducted under the old class rival-
ry. Instead, M. A, A, will run intra-
mural basketball representing teams
from the various group houses, fra-
ternities, commuters in the capital
districts, and those living in private
houses,
The new plan means that more
men will be given a chance to parti-
cipate in intramural rivalry and it
is expected that approximately
twelve teams will take part.
With this in mind, M, A. A, has
obtained, through the assistance of
Coach G, Elliot Hatfield, the use of
the Page hall gymnasium two nights
a week, on Wednesdays and Thurs-
days,
Pat Miranda says that all those
men who are interested must have
their names in by today, as it is
desired that the schedule be started
as soon as possible,
For those who commute or live In

will be made out and it is expected
that the first contest will be played
before two weeks have passed,
Thus far there are el-ven defin-
ite teams planned, but there will be
room for one or two more, The six
group houses, Avalon hall, College
house, Edward Eldred Potter club,
Kappa Beta, Kappa Delta Rho, and
Spencer hall, will each have a team
representing them. In addition,
commuters from Schenectady and

Apparently competition for the
honorary bowling varsity is going to
be pretty stiff this season, In the
first place, more than fifty gals are
crowding into the Rice Alleys these
Tuesday and Thursday afternoons,
Maybe it's because the alleys are
near school, and then again it may
be because they're so slick—anyway,
the place is usually mobbed. In the
second place, everybody is rolling up
huge scores—Evelyn Olivet, Edith
Bailey and Isabel Robinson are tops
so far, with scores of 132, 129 and 127
respectively, And would you believe
it—the bowling crowd is going veddy
ultra-ultra—tipping the pinboys!
They must realize that even a pin-
boy has to live somehow! We haven't
heard anything about a bowling
tournament yet, but we're expec-
tantly waiting.
The basketball faction — fifty-
seven veterans and seventy-three
new recrults—have been enthusias-
tically practicing pivoting and pass-
ing, getting limbered up for the
actual games which begin Monday,
The teams for these games will in-
clude everyone who is out for the
sport, so that all may participate.
Sandwiched in between the games
will be interclass games, which are
played off for the possession of the
basketball cup, Teams will be post-
ed on the A, A, bulletin board on
the day on which they are to play,
The two lower classes will be hard
