ALBANY. N.Y,

Hous Green
Was My
Alley

— By GEORGE HESS ——

In our first crack at a column we.
would like to follow in the foot-
steps of an illustrious predecessor,
Bert Kiley, and digress a bit from
the world of sports. Bert was ever
fond of touching on events that
were of universal interest to the
college. Among them was Myskania,
and that shall be our topic for
today.

A couple of weeks ago Kippy
Marsh unleashed a blast against
cliques and such, While we didn’t
agree with everything that Kippy
wrote, it did result in one of the
best moves that Myskania has ever
made, the abandoning of their black
robes during assembly programs,
This unfrocking still leaves Myska-
nia all of its powers to govern. It
in no way handicaps the functioning
of the organization. It's only ef-
fect is to make Friday assemblies a
much pleasanter hour, brought
about by the bright appearance of
the girl's best Sunday dresses.

‘The girls now look like human
beings, not like a string of pen-
guins when they appear in assembly.
In spite of this pleasant change
there are some people who don’t
think much of the whole deal, They
have been circulating a petition
which requests that Myskania climb
back into their robes and become
the superbly segregated group that
they have always been, Why? Do
these people get a vicarious charge
out of the weekly procession, Or,
better still, do we detect that well
known gleam in their eyes?

We think that all the furor over
the unfrocking is nothing more
than a tempest in a tea pot. Myska-
nia is made up of a bunch of good
looking femmes who should be al-
lowed to show off along with the
rest. Leaving off the robes gives
them an opportunity that can’t be
beat, It all adds up to the unalter-
able fact that Myskania, sans robes,
is in the better interests of all con-
cerned, Let's let the matter rest,

—— By MARY LIZ SULLIVAN —

That just about takes care of the
Myskania defrocking issue and we
will be on hand to carry our dear
colleague out of school this after-
noon. Meanwhile, we think we'll
follow up our love for WAA.

The spirit of the houses, whose
teams are in the basketball league
this year, seems to have hit an all
time high. Take Stokes for ex-
ample—last week when they played
KD just about the whole house
turned out—and that’s including the
house mother and her son, Not
that we're advocating family turn-
outs for these games, but just the
same a little support does make the
team feel better. Gamma Kap and
Newman's cheerers can frequently
be seen sitting on the sidelines
beating the benches whenever their
teams fail to keep a twenty point

At Convention

Meeting in New York
Explained by Garfall

During the American Arbitration
Association Convention, which was
held last week in New “York, Ger-
hard Wineberg, '47, was appointed
to the position of Secretary, Four
elected representatives from State,
together with four other students
who live near New York, formed the
largest group of delegates from all
the State Colleges that attended,

Florence Garfall, '45, president of
Student Association, in releasing a
preliminary report on the conven-
tion, termed it very interesting and
said that the State delegates all
took an active part in the discus-
sion, She explained that the pur-
pose of the association is to ad-
vance the idea of submitting all
types of disputes to an arbitrator
for settlement, and the convention
program revolved around this theme,
On April 5 the session opened with
a General Statement on Arbitra-
tion, and went on to the problems
of Commercial, International, and
Labor and Government Arbitration,
Each topic was introduced with a
10 or 15 m.nute speech, followed by
@ general discussion for 30 minutes.

The topic of greatest interest to
State delegates, Arbitration in Stu
dent Government and in School
Government, was introduced Fri-
day morning by Dr. Herman Coo-
per, who was moderator. The dele-
gates later attended an arbitra-
tion hearing, and the final joint
meeting was held that afternoon.
Cec.le Goldgerger, '45, attended a
special Saturday morning meeting
for the purpose of formulating pro-
posals for arbitration in student
government. Mr. Weinberg, with
the help of other students, is pre-
paring a report to send to the Asso-
ciation, and this report will be given
in assembly Friday, April 27. Dr.
John M, Sayles, president of the col-
lege, also attended a part of the
convention,

As a_result of the meetings last
week, Dr, Cooper and the presidents
of the State Colleges have agreed
that another meeting should be held
to discuss the possibility of setting
up some form of arbitration in State
Colleges, in practice as well as part
of courses. Plans have been made
for another conference on April 21
at the Hotel Syracuse, Syracuse.

Seniors To Sign Pledges

For Student Union Program

This week is the right time,
lower Draper is the right place,
signing the Student Union’ pledge
is the right action,

Yes, our Seniors now have the
privilege of contributing to a
fund to make a bigger, better,
and more attractive college for
future generations.

The easy-payment method is
one of the plan's most attractive
features—only $10 per year for
ten years.

For the convenience of the
Seniors, who probably find them-
selves very busy at this time,
pledges may be made at the
group houses, where persons have
been appointed for this purpose.
The table for pledges will be up
in lower Draper until Wednesday.

State To Attend

Sage Conference

Self-Government,Unions
Topics For Discussion

State college for the first time
since its founding in 1844 has been
invited to participate in the Lead-
ership Conference at Russell Sage
College. This conference to be held
tomorrow is designed to acquaint
those students attending with the
factors involved in carrying on
good student government and found-
ing a student union. The students
will be aided during the conference
by the outgoing officers from several
colleges in the eastern area,

Most of the program is concerned
with small discussion groups, These
discussions will deal with student
government in the colleges of today
and the influence of democracy
upon student governments in differ-
ent parts of the world.

Ten Colleges Attending

Ten colleges in the eastern area
are signed up to attend the con-
ference.

The registration fee of $1.00 will
cover luncheon, dinner, breakfast
and overnight accommodations at
the Russell Sage dorm.

Several students from State plan
to attend the conference and part-
icipate in the student government
and Student Union discussions, At
present Betty O'Neil, Joan Ber-
brich, Harriet Brinkman; and Rob-

ico and the United States, character
recommendations and a knowledge
of Spanish are a few of the stand-
ards set by the Committee for their
appointees. Young men and women
students have worked with the peo-
ple of Mexico on a variety of proj-
ects during the last six years, At
present they are located in the
states of Morelos and Hidalgo, work-
ing under the Mexican Department
of Public Health, The girls will be
assigned to a town or city in one
of these states and, living among
the people of this area, will assist
in ‘self-help housing projects, seek
to extend the area of education and
understanding concerning interna-
tional relations, help in clinical
work, supervise in playgrounds and
kindergartens and teach such things
as knitting and sewing.

The State threesome will live a

this Conference.

Several eastern colleges and uni-
versities have invited Dr. Koo to
speak before their student assem-
blies and his first scheduled speech
recently took place at Colgate where
he had been a frequent and popular
visitor before the war, Dr. Koo re-
celved the degree of LL.D. from
Colgate in 1927,

Dr. Koo is a graduate of St. Johns
University in Shanghai and later
studied at Cambridge University,
England. After leaving college he
became the Executive Secretary of
the Chinese National Committee of
the Y..C.A. and travelling secretary
of the World Student Federation. At
present Dr. Koo is vice-chairman of
this Federation and in the perform-
ance of his duties travels to coun-
tries in all parts of the world. Inter-
ested in working with students and
younger people he is attempting to
reach more and more of them
through these lecture series,

“Point OF Information

One of the riddles of State Col-
lege is WAA. There's no need for it.
A look-see into the matter clarifies
much.

How To Get To Be A Member

Simple, Ton. All you gotta do is
pay your student tax and be a girl,
That automatically makes you a
member. From then on, it’s up to
you. Your membership goes as far
as your interest does.

How To Get Credit

Participate in at least one sport
offered throughout the year. This
means you're active and therefore
qualified to vote.) Incidentally, 10
hours participation to get credit for
a sport. No homework either.

How To Get To Be An Officer

Any old buck private can be
eligible (this ain't the army) for
election to an office providing she
has 1 nose, 2 eyes, and 3 credits in
sports.

What Little WAA’s Made Of

Roosevelt and WAA—they both
got cabinets. In this Case, it's
called WAA Council. It consists
of the President, Vice-President,
Office Manager, Secretary, Treas-
urer, Publicity Director, Class Man-
agers and Representatives are elect-
ed in class elections whereas the
other officers are elected only by
the qualified members of WAA.
(See Paragraph 3.)

The managers and representatives
organize their class in rivalry in re~
gard to all sports.

The office manager works. She has

By ‘SUNNA COOPER

charge of sports credits. the files, the
voting lists, and athletic publications.
What's This Thing Called

Honor Council.: Every year two
Junior girls, on the basis of active
participation in WAA since their
freshman year, are elected by WAA
Council to receive this honor. The
girls must be socially and scholastic-
ally as well as athletically good rep-
resentatives of the College. Material
symbols of this honor are the white
WAA jackets—sported this year by
Now and Sanderson.

Otras Awards

1, Credit in 4 sports a year—your

class numerals in chenille.

2. Credit in 4 sports a year for

three years—gold key.
All in Favor...

On April 16, a new amendment
will be voted on. It stipulates that
the President and Vice-President
will be chosen on the same ballot.
This means that the person with the
1st preferential vote will be Presi-
dent, and the one who is 2nd will
automatically be the Vice-President.

This is good. It means one deserv-
ing person won't be eliminated from
Council merely because of defeat in
a popular election. Not bad, eh?

In Conclusion

May we open our big mouths and
say it is difficult to find an activity
at College more systematically or-
ganized than WAA. It bends over
backwards to make sure its repre-
sentatives are chosen fairly and
democratically. What more d’ya
want? You've taken calisthenics . . .

on a study made to determine if pos-

sible whether or not there is a critical point in high school preparation
below which academic success in New York State College for Teachers

is not probable.

The largest class of freshmen in
many years was admitted to the New
York State College for Teachers in
September, 1943. Of a total of 358
freshmen, 336 completed enough
work to enable a comparison to be
made between high school accomp-
lishment and their college success,

As you all know, the minimum
average necessary to earn the bache~
lor's degree at this College is C, In
making our study of the class of
1947, we assumed that students who
earned C or better were accomplish-
ing satisfactory work and those who,
during their freshman year, did not
earn @ C average were accomplish-
ing unsatisfactory results, The pur-
pose of this study was to determine,
if possible, whether or not there is
a critical point in high-school prepa-
ration below which academic success
in this College is not probable,

A quality-point score was comput-
ed for each student which made it
Possible to compare directly the ad-
mission average with the quality of
work shown as a result of the first,
year of college study. The results of
this comparison are shown by the
following table,

% attaining

High-school C average

83-88 (included) m4
75-82 (included) 36.1

‘The three levels of high-school ac-
complishment shown were not select-
ed at random but were indicated by
the levels of college work: that 1s,
the distribution of college grades fell
naturally into three groups as shown
in the above table,

Another way of stating the results
of this comparative study would be
to say that the high group, as classi-
fled by high-school record, has bet-
ter

study was that on October

At this point it should be record-
ed that the thirty-seven students

these students. What the compara-
tive results might have been had
no guidance been furnished, of
course, cannot be estimated, but it is
fair to assume at least that this
special guidance service caused no
harm and that it is probable that
college accomplishment was im-
proved,

Careful analysis of the records as-
sembled by this study seems to make
valid three conclusions:

A. A critical point in high-school
accomplishment is found at
eighty-1ine and that students
falling at this average or bet-
ter may be expected to a:-
complish superior results in
College.

B. A critical point in high-school
accomplshment is found at
eighty-three and that students
falling at this average or better
may be expected to accomplish
average work or letter in Coi-
lege,

C. The group of students falling
below the critical point eighty-
three may be expected to have
trouble with College work.

Tt must be kept in mind that the
information and assumptions used
are based upon averages. Some stu-
dents in the lowest group did well
and some n the highest group pooi
ly. This ts to be expected but, taking
the groups as shown, the lowest
group seems to be a poor risk for the
State of New York if there are avail-
able aplicants who present better
high-school accomplishment, and
equivalent personalities,

Another point of view, and a most
important one, is the effect upon the
individual student when failure is his
Jot, This is most important and, in
fact, may be more important tn:
the Investment made by the State
that supports the College. The State
loses money when a student fat
the student loses not only money

but perhaps loses some personal
traits more vital, more valuable than
money, Does it seem just to admit to
college a student who has, on the
average, less than a fifty per cent
chance to succeed? Probably not,
and you are urged, therefore, to keep
these facts In mind when you advise
students concerning entrance to this
College, Give them a fair chance
under the conditons they will face
here at Albany, and remember that
an average computed by the College
at below elghty-three indicates prob-
ably @ heartbreak for the student
during his early years in the College,

What Price An Idea. « a

It’s an important day when an idea becomes a
reality. In college one’too often becomes entangled
in theory and embued with the sacredness of his
ideas to think much ‘about’ the important thing,
which is, putting those ideas into practice. How
many noble thoughts, born during a bull session or
class discussion, die just as quickly when brought
up against the hard facts of everyday existence?
Too many ideas cannot exist side by side with the
actual conditions which affect them.

It has been an important semester for State
College because this year an idea did become a
reality, It is an idea which has been talked about
since the College was founded, namely, that there
is tolerance and undemocratic methods existing here
and that something can be done about them,

Nine students and six faculty members have
made this idea, which is so old, become a living
thing. It finds its life in a group called the Com-
mittee of Fifteen. Their constitution consists solely
of two purposes: 1, To examine and obtain in-
formation about intolerant and undemocratic prac-
tices in the College and alleviate those practices
through the best channels and 2, Promote cultural
and racial toleration in this institution.

For definite contributions by the barely two-
month's old organization, we are able to point out
the tea for Langston Hughes, Negro poet, last
month, They have contacted similar national or.
ganizations and are planning to work with these.
The Committee is not idle now. The best part of
it's work will probably be evident by next

This group does not work with spectacular
means. Many of its accomplishments may never
be publicized as its work. The purpose of the
Committee is to merely investigate and suggest
with an objectivity which is not enclosed within
the-four walls of a constitution and a promotion
system.

That is how an idea is becoming a reality. It is
not an idea which is going to back down before
the facts,

Comes ZE Revolution! ...

We hate to mention it again, but the News of-
fice is the working establishment of the State
College News. As such it cannot also be the Locker
Room Annex, the storage room for unused hooks
and clothes and the chief hang-out for all who
find the smoke-laden air healthful.

For several years now, the News has been waiting
for a vacant space on the blackboard to post notices
pertaining to the publication of the newspaper and
the duties of the reporters. Needless to say, such
space cannot be found since the board is used for
casual notes, morning greetings, and “meet you at
the Boul” scrawls, ,

Clothing and books of sundry sorts still clutter
up the N :ws Office in spite of the many requests
issued in the pi If this situation is not remedied
immediately, the $ staff will take action by dis-
posing of all articles left in the office, Owners may
apply for lost pos ms to the Lost and Found
Department,

The purge is on again and we intend to make it
the last. We do not mind visitors, but please leave
your belongings behind or take them with you.
We need the desks to work on. :

Miss Goldberger and Miss Garfall

as inembers of a panel discussion on

State Colleges should get together
every year, not necessarily for an
Arbitration Conference but rather
to discuss student government af-
fuirs and problems,

An interesting fact brought out
in the discussion at the convention
was the fact that the student gov-

ment setup here is more demo-
‘atic than that of any other col-
lege represented. State, for example,
is the only college which had legis-
lative, executlve, and — judical
branches of government,

D & A Exhibits
Record History
Of Photography

Action Photography, a photo-
graphic exhibit presented by Dra-
matics and Arts Council, opened yes-
terday and will continue through
May 3, The exhibition, which is
open to the public, ts being held
on the second floor of Draper Hall.

All types of photographic record
ing of action, with the exception of
motion pictures, are on view. The
chronological range of the exhibit
starts with an 1837 daguerreotype
of a Paris street showing a man
having his boots shined and con-
tinues through the multiple-camera
pictures made by Muybridge in 1877
and the multiple-exposure experi-
ments by Marey in 1888, both of
which were forerunners of the mov-
jes; astronomical photography; the
hand camera; the miniature cam-
era; news and war photography; the
silhouette method where the sha-
dow is recorded directly on the sen-
sitized plate or film by electric spark
without use of lens; and on to the
most advanced stroboscropic pho-
tography of today

Photographers whose work is
shown in the exhibit include:
‘Thomas Bouchard, Margaret Bourke-
White, Henri — Cartier - Bresson,
Thomas Eakins, Alfred Eakins, Al-
fred Eisenstaedt, Eliot Elisofon,
Morris Engel, Andreas Feininger, Dr,

‘A clean, fast game between New-
man and Psi Gam Tuesday night,
opened the final round for the lea-
gue teams, 1t was a play-off match,
because the last time these teams
met careless scoring left the final
result in doubt. Maggio spearhead-
ed the Newman drive and O'Neil
was high scorer for Psi Gam with
the final score, 12-6, in Newman's
favor.

‘The undefeated BZ squad dropped
from first. place in the league
standing as the Phi Delt team
downed them 21-13 in one of the
most surprising upsets of the sea-
son, Seymour's handling of the ball
was the despair of the BZ sextet.
Making all but two of Phi Delt’s
points, she made basket after bas-
ket and the half found the score,
15-8, In the last half the BZ for-
wards tried yainly to stem the Phi
Delt assault and added five more
points to their score but Seymour
‘undaunted dropped in six more be-
fore the final whistle blew. The
final result was for Phi Delt, 21-13,
This decisive victory left Gamma
Kappa the only undefeated team on
campus with BZ and Newman
sharing second honors with one de-
feat each.

It looked as if Gamma Kappa
was going to be the victim of the
second surprise attack of the even-
ing when the Stokes squad played
them a close contest. Regularly a
guard, Mahoney played forward in
Boyington’s absence and made three
of Stokes’ seven points in the first
half. The second half opened with
the score 10-7 in favor of Gamma
Kap and the Quail Street squad
was determined to make it a more
decisive victory. Young led her
team with five baskets and Gamma
Kappa emerged victorious with the
final score, 24-9.

Wednesday night’s games started
out quite uneventfully with the Dy-
namiters bowing to the powerful
BZ quintet to the tune of 26-4, The
Dynamiters tried hard, but they
were checked before they could get
underway, Baker led the BZ offen-
sive by tossing in 12 points and
Herlihy chalked up 4 for the Dy-
namiters, It was a hard-fought
game all the way, but BZ held a
steady edge.

The Gamma Kap-Newman ball
game was perhaps the most excit-
ing game to be played on the court
so far this season, It was a close
game all the way, and both teams
put everything they had Into the
game, Not even the final whistle
gave any indication of the superi-
ority of either team, The score was
18-18. A three-minute overtime
was decided upon, and once again
the battle began, Young tossed in
four more points for Gamma Kap
bringing her total score up to 15,
Newman falled to score during the
overtime, Cooper led the losers by
tossing in 12 points for Newman,
Maggio was kept down by Cheney
who is one of the best guards this
season, The loss of Russo 1s also
believed to have affected the close
clicking Newman combination, Hon-
orable mention goes to Mary Straub
of Newman, and to Loulse Winters
of Gamma Kap, Both played a
splendid game and were invaluable
in recovering and passing the ball
to thelr teammates.

The defeat of the Newmanites puts
Gamma Kap on top of the league
with only one game left to challenge
their lead, If BZ should win over
Gamma Kap Tuesday night, the two
teams will be tled for first place,
However, a Gamma Kap win will
establish their unrivaled suprem-
acy, and will mean for them an
undefeated season, This should
prove to be, the best game of the
geason, and .WAA would like to see
all the fans out to cheer for their
favorite teams, All evidence points
io an evening of exeltement, and a
ghance to see some of the best base
ketball players at State in action,

Newman and KD are to tangle,
but this game 1s important only in
deciding Newman's place In the big

Rivalry. Swim

The rivalry swimming meet,
which proved to be a popular inno-
vation on the rivalry sports sched-
ule last year, will again make an
appearance on the WAA program.
The meet is slated to be held on
next Monday at 3:30 at the Public
Bath No, 3. Two and a half rivalry
points will be awarded to the class
whose contestants are victorious in
three of the five events.

Program

It has been announced that the
program of events will consist of a
speed relay between two members
from each of the rival classes, a
straight race and two novelty races,
one of which will require that the
participants swim the length of the
pool while reading the State College
News and the other that they jump
into the water with their clothes on,
undress and hand all their clothing
to the referee,. The first person to
be out of the pool with their clothes
will be the winner,

Although the Class of '47 was de-
feated in last year’s contest, the
outcome seems to be pretty hopeful
for them this year. Many of their
participants are now experienced
swimmers and all-round sport de-
mons, Jane Mills, '47, although a
beginner in last year’s’ meet, dis-
played a great deal of aquatic
prowess in a “neck and neck” race
with ’46's powerful Groden. This
year she will undoubtedly star for
the Gremlins, Jean Davidson and
Jinny Day also appear on the list
of hopefuls and should add plenty
of strength to the Soph team.

Soph Loss

The biggest disadvantage which
the Gremlins will have to face is
the loss of their mainstay, Russo,
At last year's meet Russo came
through with flying colors. However,
due to a sprained back, Russo has
been compelled to drop all sports
for a while,

Kay Booth, Janet Inglehart and
Connie Lesler are some of the other
Sophs who will take part in the
contests,

Frosh Team.

Very little has been said about
the frosh squad, but perhaps there
are a few dark horses in store for
us, We find that Tilden’s name ap-
pears on the frosh line-up and that
should prove to be a deciding factor
for the frosh, Fedler and Osborne
also show great promise. On the
whole very few predictions can be
made at this stage.

Flash! WAA Sojourns

Set For Sunday

— By HFSS and WOODWORTH —

With vigor stored from a pro-
longed vacation, and with vitality
brought forth by the unseasonable
weather, the men of State College
have been unlimbering their creaky

muscles in the ancient game of |

softball. The dorm field has been
the scene of their spring training
efforts. This has been no easy task
because spring training has long
been the most gruelling of all work-
outs, It is even rougher than foot-
ball because the kinks of the winter
must be worked out of their ten-
dons.

Even Charley Horses

It is even tougher for the men of
State because of the curtailed win-
ter sports program. Basketball was
outlawed and bowling was the only
thing open from an athletic’ stand-
point. It must also be considered
that now with spring apparent that
the Statesmen have other extra-
curricular activities to demand
their time and efforts.

For the past week the boys have
been diligently practicing all phases
of the game in preparation for the
first home game on Sunday, April
15th, Their worthy opponents will
be the Siena Gaels and they show
promise of bringing a strong team
to State. The Statesmen are confi-
dent that they can put ten men on
the field who will endeavor to carry
State's banner to a triumphant
start in the’ softball season, The
team boasts some heavy hitters and
a fine array of defensive talent.
Johnnie Bolles and Hank Farley
have showed up good in batting
practice and Jim Miner and Jim
Brophy handle the ball well in the
field. Bob Sullivan, captain and
manager, has not yet determined
the starting lineup but it is pretty
certain that the following men will
see action in Sunday’s game; Hal
Webber, Jim Miner, Bob Sullivan,
Jim Brophy, Hank Farley, John
Bolles, Phil Lashinsky, Sparky
Vaughn, Bill Barrington, Bill Mal-
lery, Gene McCarthy, your by-liner,
and that’s about all.

Free Admission

These stalwarts represent the
greater proportion of the male pop-
ulation of State. They have turned
out in such droves to prove that
they are still as good as anyone. If
they are willing to put forth the
effort to play a stiff seven innings,
the least the girls could do is to
come out in droves to cheer the
boys on. In the past State's ath-
letic efforts have been rather poorly
supported, Softball last year rep-
resented the epitome of lonesome-
ness of the players. Let's make it a
bit different this time,

This is the time for all good
Staters to come to the aid of a
varsity basketball team for next
year. If the student body really
wants one, will support it—both
financially and with moral back-
ing—there can be a team repre-
senting State in intercollegiate
circles, Impossible? No, there is
already a movement under way
to form a team and arrange a
schedule.

A great deal has been missing
from college life with the ab-
sence of a team to root for. It
has been recognized that ath-
let:cs play an important part in
creating a spirit and lifting the
morale of any group. Anyone who
knew State before the war agrees
that something has been lacking
since varsity basketball was dis-
continued.

State students can have a team
next year if they show the in-
terest and the enthusiasm NOW!

Ping Pong Contests
Approaching Finals

The WAA Ping Pong tournament
will soon be in the semi-final
stages. Eileen Shoup’s smashing
victory over Tommy Raymond
brings her to the table to contend
with Ray Weiss in the semi-final
matches. There is still one match
left in the second round to be play-
ed between Helen Bushnell and
Helen Lengyel. The winners of the
Shoup-Weiss and Bushnell-Lengyel
frames will vie for the Ping Pong
champi_nship.

Betty Rose Hilt, ‘47, captain of
Ping Pong, announces that all wo-
men interested in receiving credit
for Ping Pong should play all their
required hours this week. All credit
will be turned in next week. Credit
will be given after three hours of
playing in the Commons and seven
hours of outside playing.

Many of the people in the tourna-
ment have not bothered to obtain
the other hours necessary, It is
suggested that they do so since
credit in one sport enables mem-
bers to vote in the WAA election of
officers,

If possible, play-offs will be held
Monday. The time for these
matches will be posted today on
the WAA bulletin board

Fencers Meet Tomorrow

Chuck Axelrod, captain of fenc~
ing, announced that there would be
a fencing meeting in the Milne gym
tomorrow, Saturday morning. At-
tendance is compulsory. Plans for
another fencing bout will be discus-
sed. The date for the match Is ten-
tatively scheduled for April 21, a
week from this Saturday,

fy Joan Hylind ———

Surprised to find us over on this
side of the page? It isn’t May first;
we decided to move a little early.
For a wild moment, considered moy-
ing to the sixth colum, but gave up
that idea.

How We Know

Signs of Springs seen since the
return to Albany—girls playing soft-
ball on the Page Hall field, rowboats
on the lake, little boys who should be
in school out in the rowboats, a mar-
ble on a desk in the P.O., classes on
the lawn, nominations in today’s as-
sembly,

Concerning the above-mentioned
softball—prospects look good for an
active season. Before the season of-
ficially began, kids were out practic-
ing and just generally having a good
time. Interest in softball at State
has been steadily growing in recent
years, All that’s needed now it seems
is the cooperation of the weather
man—a very unpredictable fellow in
Albany circles,

Ancient History Now

It’s all over but the shouting in
the basketball league. Phi Delt's de-
feat of BZ was the major upset of
the saeson. But then, that’s nothing
for the Phi Delt gals. Last year they
spioled the record of the unbeaten
KD team thereby knotting the
league all up into a four way tie for
first place. The resulting play-off
made basketball history.

Now, with a tear in our eye, we
report the defeat of Newman Hall
by Gamma Kap. You did a swell
job though, kids and have justified
all our faith in you. We do not
mean to minimize the efforts of
Gamma Kap-they have a superb
team. Their passwork and plays are
worked down to a science that has
not been seen on a State court in
many a year,

This bang-up finfish of the league
is reminiscent of last year's struggle.
Anyone who comes to the Gamma
Kap-BZ tiff is bound to come away
knowing that they have witnessed
some excellent basketball.

Deadline for WAA Credits
WAA would like to remind every-
one w.th outside credit in a winter
or mid-winter sport that they must
give their names to the sports cap-
tain by next Friday. Credits must
be filed with the captains so thnt
all those deserving credit will re-
ceive it, Anyone having credit in
four sports is eligible for class
numerals on Moving-Up Day.

Assembly Will Open
With Campaign Speeches

Crandell, Shure, Sullivan
Nominees For President

To underscore the speeches of the
nominees for Student Association
offices in today’s assembly, the
News has secured statements of the
platforms of the various candidates
for President and Vice-President.
James Crandell, Helen Shure, and
Robert Sullivan, Juniors, are the
nominees for President of Student
Association,

Crandell

In his statement to the News,
James Crandell stated: “Abraham
Lincoln once said; ‘A man who
makes campaign promises is
as worthless as his promises.’
We, as fellow students, have come to
know one another too well to place
our combined integrities in the bal-
ance by insisting upon childish pro-
mises. We might better discuss our
combined responsibilities for next
year and that necessitates a 100%
interest and attendance at Student
Assembly to handle, 1, New Constitu-
tion, 2. Firmly guide Student Union
Plans. I am independent — expect
no favors—but rather a fair admin-
istration.

Shure

Helen Shure's platform states:
“In response to the request which
you sent me, I submit the following
as principles of student government
which I endorse:

Carrying out the decisions of the
majority, and protecting the interests
of the minority.

Encouraging participations by the
many rather than delegation to the
few.

Striving to insure and protect a
democrat.c form of student govern-
ment.”

Sullivan

In his platform statement, Robert
Sullivan says: “The platform I am
proposing in my candidacy for Pres-
ident of the Student Association is
a three point program dealing with
1, Student Council, 2. Assemblies,
State College's position among the
other colleges of the States, It is
my opinion that in the past Stu-
dent Council has only warily used
the few powers, granted to it under
the Constitution. The plan I shall
present in my campaign speech will
call for a powerful executive coun-

yhich will in time become also

In regard to assembly programs,
my plan will call for a more varied
and interesting program. From the
few conferences I have attended I
have discovered that State is per-
haps the leading college in regards
to Student government in the State.
I am sponsoring a plan to amplify
this position and to keep State al-

(Continued on page 3, column 3)

Edgar Ansel Mowrer, one of the
many sitting on the platform, could
be easily distinguished, for he look-
ed the part of a foreign correspon-
dent — dark hair slightly tossled,
nonchalant attitude, weather-beaten,
yet vigorous in appearance. He had
been a correspondent in Paris, Rome,
Berlin, had covered the Spanish Civil
War, visiled Russia and China, had
been a United States delegate to
the Dumbarton Oaks and the Mexico
City Conferences, and, finally, ts to
be a delegate to the San Francisco
Conference.

The meeting in Chancellor's Hall
was appropriately opened by a trib-
ute to our late President, Franklin
Delano Roosevelt, and taps sounded
in his honor.

As Mr. Mowrer began to speak,
his wide knowledge, analytical pow-
ers, and keen judgment became more
evident. He pointed out that a good
newspaperman’s place was at that
time in Washington, but now more
than ever the nation needed under-
standing in the ideals of F.D.R.
so that everyone can help in formu-

Racial Problems
Topic For Forum

Noted Arab, Zionist,
Uphold Different Views

Two unusual and _ contrasting
speakers, one an Arab, the other
a Zionist, will present a discussion
of the Zionist situation in Palestine
at the next meeting of Forum to be
held Wednesday in the Lounge at
3:30 p. m. A member of the New
York District Zionist Organization
will introduce the Zionist program
for a Jewish state in Palestine, while
Peter George, President of the In-
stitute of Arab-American Relations
will uphold the Arab point of view.

About twenty-five years ago the
Mandate to Palestine on the basis of
the Balfour Declaration guaranteed
a national home for the Jewish peo-
ple in Palestine, According to the
Zionists the Arab leaders promised
full cooperation; however, through
the past few years strong opposition
has arisen, especially among the
Arab terrorists and aristocrats, The
movement has now spread until to-
day there is unmistakable animosity
to the Jewish state from all Arabs
except the ordinary laborer,
Zionists vs, Arabs

It cannot be overlooked that the
Zionists built up Palestine to the
flourishing nation of today. They
drained the unyielding marshes, be-
gan a collective farm organization
and in addition to boosting shipping
and commerce, fostered a “back to
the soil” movement to insure Pales-
tine production. On the other hand
the Arabs claim they are being
driven out of their country, they sup-
port their somewhat primitive civil-
ization, and the wealthier men do
not enjoy the looming Jewish compe-
tition which this growth of Zionism

3. will bring about.

Relation to Future Peace

These two speakers will fully dis-
cuss and weigh these two contend-
ing viewpoints. Mr. George is a
former Palestinian Arab and his
aims on this matter are well estab-
lished.

Fredrick, Seniors Will Meet

Dr. Robert Fredrick, principal -of
Milne High School, and Miss Mary
D, Alberts, head of the Student Em-
ployment Bureau, have announced
that they will meet today with all
Seniors who haven't signed contracts
but who are interested in a teaching
job. The meeting, which will begin
at noon, is scheduled for the Little

lating world peace, If the common
man cannot make a lasting peace,
no one man can do it for him,

The Dumbarton Oaks proposals,
continued Mr, Mawrer, represent a
compromise between the powerful

aper-state and the voluntary organ-
ization resembling the League of Na-
tons,

One of the reasons that Russia
is holding out for her promised three
votes ut the San Francisco Confer-
ence is her fear that the American
nations will vote as a block, follow-
ing the example of the United States.
Mr. Mowrer, having had practical
experience with these republics at
the Mexico City Conference, stated
that this is untrue, These small
slates have only thelr soverignty on
which to rely, soverelgnty—the "{ree-
dam lo wage war.” Tt will take great
diplomacy, tact, and probably years
besides to accustom them to the
idea of a powerful international or-
ganization,

Because even the final plans for
this security organization will be
weak, due to pressure from small

Student Council
Discusses Plans
WithNew Group

Representatives of a new State
College organization, a committee
of 15 interested in inter-cultural

problems, appeared before Student «

Counc!] Wednesday night to out-
line their plans and explain why
they believe they should have a
place on the budget. The group,
which has no official name as yet,
was indorsed by the Council mem-
bers. and rdvised to submit their
budget to the Student Board of
Finance.

Formation Explained

Jean Groden, ‘46, explained that
the committee was formed when
nine students and six faculty mem-
bers met last semester to discuss
problems of racial and cultural
groups, Some of the work done un-
officially by the committee includes
the securing of speakers such as
Julius Thomas, who addressed the
assembly, and a_ legislator from
Harlem who explained the Ives-
Quinn Bill. ’

Dr. John M. Sayles, who met with
the Council Tuesday, announced
that a new radio could not be se-
cured for the Lounge and has of-
fered the radio now in his office
in its place,

Arbitration Report

It was: decided at Wednesday's
meeting that starting next semester
the mimeograph machine and the
Used Book Exchange would be un~-
der the supervision of Campus
Commission, instead of being un-
der the direct control of Student
Council. A feature of the evening
was an informal report on the Am-
erican Arbitration Association Con-
ference, held in New York over va~
cation, Florence Garfall, president
of Student Association, and Cecile
Goldberger, Seniors, and Robert
Sullivan, '46, will attend a meeting

states, and because there will be
many changes needed with the pass-
ing of time, Mr. Mowrer feels that
the amending process is too rigid,
since any one of the five big powers
of the Security Council can stop the
passage of an amendment. He pro-
poses a standing committee to sug-
gest changes and that the whole
procedure be loosened,

Are we going to go nationalist
again? asks Mr, Mowrer. National-
ism, in this age, is the opposite of
patriotism. Tf the organization is to
work we will have to stop our con-
descending attitude toward racial
minorities, How can we have com-
plete cooperation with a people who
will not be allowed in ow best ho-
tels?

Peace is indivisible; prosperity
and democracy are becoming indi-
visible. Freedom cannot be allowed
to be suppressed anywhere. The fu-
ture is in the hands of Youth,
