STATE COLLEGE NEWS, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1953

Dissipation . . .

The purpose of Men’s Athletic Associa-
tion, as stated in the Freshman Handbook,
is “to foster and develop athletics for all
men at the college.” Last Wednesday night,
MAA held an open forum to discuss just
how far short of this goal it was falling.
The situation that came to light was one
that reflected inefficiency, lack of coopera-
tion and absence of interest.

MAA, constitutionally, is set up similarly
to WAA. Every male enrolled at State is a
member, and is entitled to participate in
MAA-sponsored intramurals. A few inter-
collegiate activities come under the MAA
budget, but its main purpose is to develop
athletics “at the college.” Then why this
lack of interest and participation? Why the
downhill slide while WAA has more par-
ticipants than it can provide equipment
for? The answers may be found Wednes-
day night at the Student Union when the
second open forum is held. It is at this
future meeting that the fate of intramurals
at State will be decided. Let’s look at the
issues:

It is reported that participation in MAA-
sponsored intramurals has been sharply
declining while the male enrollment at
State has considerably increased. This drop
is accredited to the uneven, often overbear-
ing competition between intramural teams.
The purpose of Varsity athletics may be to
win. The purpose of intramurals is to give
those who want it a chance to compete.
Participating teams are sponsored by fra-
ternities, dormitories, commuters, and other
independent groups. Since the power con-
sistently lies within the fraternity groups,
onners have been discouraged from compe-

tion,

The meeting Wednesday night is to de-
cide a new setup of intramurals which, it is
hoped, will resuit in more even competition
and a stimulated interest in MAA. Last
year, participation and organization were
So lax that not one award for intramural
athletics was given, There is a line in the
MAA budget tor these awards; they are
based on interest and participation in a
variety of sports, much like the awards sys-
tem followed by WAA. MAA also has budget
provisions for individual athletic awards,
which also have rested unclaimed.

There is a narrow choice in the course to
be decided upon to rescue intramurals. Ei-
ther MAA will vote to continue its present
policy, a slipshod system that wastes money
and talent and does not approach the true
end of intramurals, or a new setup will be
plotted, designed for keener competition
with less emphasis on winning. The pro-
posed new pian would split up fraternity
power and redistribute the players on pure-
ly independent teams for the regular sea-
son’s play. At the end of the season, it has
been proposed to hold fraternity playoffs
with the awarding of the MAA trophies.

Again we face the problem of guiding the
hands that spend our money. Every male
member of Student Association is a paying
member of MAA. Every member of MAA
has the right of attending all its meetings,
and every member also has a vote at them.

‘AND I'VE GOT A DATE ON SATURDAY NIGHT!”

The Coffee-Klotch: Its
American Values

By ARNOLD ELMAN

Throughout various schools, and
even more various years at these
schools, it seems that the depart-
ment most popular and the one
serving some of the highest goals
of American education is the cafe-
teria, There has been, for many
years, a gradual increase in the
occurrence of the Coffe-Klotch, as
well as an increase in the variety
of subjects duscussed during them.

How many teachers have express-
ed sincere regret at the illness of a
student only to find him comfort-
ably curled around a table at the
coffee shop? How many teachers
have wondered why the coffee shop
had a greater drawing power than
did their classes? How many so-
ciologists have wracked their brains
feverishly, trying to discover the
secret of the why and the when of
the Coffee-Klotch? The answer is
relatively simple, and has been rel-
atively little touched upon, prob-
ably due to its extreme simplicity.
The secret of the cafeteria lies in
its freedom; the freedom to come
and go as one pleases; the freedom
to speak or not to speak, as one
pleases; the freedom to laugh when
one wishes; the freedom to sit and
sulk, if one wishes ;in essence, free-
dom from the restrictions of the
four walls of the classroom. The
cafeteria does not just permit the
encountering of information of im-
mediate importance to the individ-
ual. It gives the individual many
other things, among them an ex-
pression, protection and strengthen-
Ing of the belief in the Bill of
Rights.

True, there Is a great deal of
trivia tossed around at the “Bull-
sessions,” but isn't there a need
for trivia? The amount of pertin-
ent information floating about the
coffee shop outweighs by far the
amount of trivia, The coffee shop
ts a clearing house of school infor-
mation; if you didn't read it in the
papers, you heard about it at the
coffee shop; if you didn’t hear of
it from your teachers, you got it
through the Coffee-Klotch “grape-
vine."

Tf one listens carefully, one real-
ives that a good deal of the con-

ations at the coffee shop con-
problems related to, or close-

ly related to, academic work. There
are many cases of inter-student as-

stance. For example, I learned a
simple, home-made rule concerning
Spanish translation during a five-
minute gab-session at the local
“greasy-spoon,” which helped me,
not only to more easily handle
Spanish, but to really enjoy it as
well. A corollary of the many cases
which are similar might be that
the coffee shop frequently demon-
strates greater sharing powers than
the class room; one person is al-
ways willing to help another with
his work, when approached in the
right manner and when schedule

permits.

Paradoxically, the student may
be more easily seen in the smoke-
dimmed environment of the coffee
shop than in the well-lit classroom.
Coffee seems to dissolve a great
part of the social veneer we wear.
In many schools, teachers make it
a@ point to have conferences with
students at the coffee shop in or-
der to build a greater rapport with
the students. By seeing the student
in an out-of-class situation, and
further lessening authoritative
stigma by physical removal from
the classroom, more satisfactory re-
sults are produced in counseling
problems.

One of the American beliefs we
are brought up on is that of Amer-
ica as the great Melting Pot; at
the risk of trying your patience I
might suggest that the coffee pot
is the greatest ingredient of the
Melting Pot. Take any table at the
coffee shop; how many nationali-
ties? How many ideological differ-
ences? Chances are they range
from Mongolian, to German, to
sixth - generation American, and
from Nietschian to Christian. Con-
versation does not have the gener-
ally effete qualities of the formal
cocktail or tea party, nor is ther
so great a preponderance of neur-
otic laughter and stilted tone. Cof-
fee is the great college solvent, the
universal mixer; and for all I know,
might well be one of the greatest
protectors of the American Ideal of
free speech.

Council Releases

Debate Schedule.
For State's Team

Novices Start” Season

In Series With RPI

The Debate Council has planned
its debate schedule for the coming
semester, states Richard Shaper '54,
President. The schedule will open
with a series of twelve debates with
RPI for novice teams beginning
Saturday, October 17, Similar de-
bate series with Union College and

Point varsity and junior

teams are arranged, which

will provide a total of more than
fifty debates for beginners,

The first major tourney will be
conducted at the University of Ver-
mont late in November at which
four experienced and four begin-
ners teams will represent State.
The University of Pittsburgh tour-
ney in December and the Hamilton
College tourney for novice teams,
also in December, are other events
on this semester's schedule. The
Council will also. sponsor a series
of high school assembly debates at
Broadalbin High School to begin
December 31.

Shaper requests all beginners to
attend one meeting next week at
one of the following times: Wednes-
day, October 14 at 2:30, 3:30. or
4:30 pm. in Room 140; Thursday,
October 15 at 2:30 pan. in Room
146, oF at 3:30 or 4°30 pan, in Room
140.

Shaper also asks that everyone
interested in this year's topic, “Re-
solved: That the U, S. Should Adopt
a Policy of Free Trade,” attend a
model debate at 8 pan, Wednesday,
October 14, in Brubacher

As fifty-four prospective debaters
have signed up tor tryouts, and
thirteen veteran debaters remain
from last year, Shaper believes that
Debate Council will have an un-
usually stiecessful season

One On The Aisle

By FRITZ CRUMB

A week later, we can all look
back on last Saturday, and say that
everyone seemed to have had a good
time, but as a finish for the day,
the Soph skit didn’t live up to ex-
pectations,

The script was weak, but this
needn't have been a real handicap.
The worst fault seemed to lie in
the cast itself, Lines were shaky,
cues were slow, and perhaps worst
of all, the song lyrics were weak.
Even Ross Hack, who did a good
job, had to start over. He man-
aged to make it funny, however,
which helped ease what could have
been a bad spot.

There was a lack of tempo to the
whole show, which showed up (no
pun) in the over long piano intro,
and the opening by the chorus.
This last was a good number, but

med to us to be too long. The
rest of the show dragged because
everyone seemed to be trying to
think of what line came next.
Things picked up when Hack made
his entrance, but toward the end,
things seemed to go to pieces al-
together

There were some really funny bits,
as with the draft card and the two
frosh who slunk in and ordered the
cokes, but it wasn’t enough to save
the whole works. For all of the
above it was lun, and we want to
give special mention to the chorus.
They showed an interest in what
was going on that we have seldom

in musical put on in Page.
s hope that the next bunch can
as Well in this respect.

Next Tuesday marks the opening
of the ‘33-54 Season and we ar
prenised a good bill by Nan Light-
hall and Jim Thompson. Both piays
are comeaies, we are told, and if
our scouts haven't loused, it ought
to bea nice clam-bake.” Ar
you going to be there? Your money
helps to put these plays on, why
not go and see what you are get-
ting for your money?

Speaking of A.D., there will be
tryouts for (he third set of plays
tis next week, Don Duclos and

Arline Yanks are looking for people
who feel in an acting mood. Don's
is a romantic comedy, and Arline's
will be a straight drama.

Gripe for the week: is there any-
one on the campus who would like
to donate a new casting bulletin
board? It has gotten to the point
where you have to push aside no-
tices that are months old in order
to find what you are looking for.
And until someone does see fit to
present us with a new board, how
about taking down your old and
out-of-date sheets? It will give
someone else a clear space to put
up theirs.

It looks as if Dr. Pettit has done
it again. This year’s E.D. play is
to be the “Trojan Women," Remem-
bering last year's “Everyman,” this
ought to be well worth seeing. Keep
the date open,

Grom The Sidelines

By BOB ASHFIELD

Last_Wednesday night, an open
MAA Forum was held to discts:,
and we think they termed it right-
ly, “the death ‘of intramurals,”
MAA includes all the men enrolled
at State College and fills the same
capacity as WAA does for the
women. The only difference is that
WAA is active.

It was surprising news to those
tending the forum partic-
ation in the
has dropped some 57 per cent since
1950, This decrease at the time
when the enrollment has. steadily
increased seems incredible. What
then happened to MAA and
its program?

To put it simply, 4 men can't
do the work for a group which in-
cludes 734 men, ‘These 4 men are
the officers of MAA and seem to be

Statesmen Meet
To Discuss IM
Loop Problems

Considerable opinion on the con-
tinuation and improvement of the
intramural system at State was
voiced at a Wednesday night
M.A.A.-sponsored open forum on
the subject. A goodly number of
students attended the meeting and,
although no definite resolutions
were adopted for remeding faults
in the intramural system, the group
achieved a successful analysis of
the system in respect to its aims
and faults.

Intramurals Lose Meaning

The intramurai set-up has as its
purpose to provide a system of ath-
letics here at State in which every-
one may participate. In recent
years the number of students par-
ticipating in Intramurals has dimin-
ished greatly and the program
turned from an enjoyable athletic
program to keen competition of
high calibre teams. Wednesday
night's meeting theorized that these
changes in the system were due
partly to the league participation
by fraternity teams, since the keen
competition is the result of the
fraternities’ drive for prestige.

Proposals were suggested for set-
ting up a separate sports league
for fraternities, a fraternity cup
tournament or equalization of the
league divisions as a means of re
turning the intramurals to forme
standards,

M.A.A. Discusses Publicity

In a somewhat different vein the
M.A.A.-sponsored debate discuss
the need of publicity, and establis
ment of a publicity committee for
the intramural system and the es-
lablishment of a trophy case for
the display of intramural league
trophies. In past. years the pro-
gram has been deficient in public-
ity and trophies have been dis-
played separately in fraternity
houses and dormitories

two goals
on penalty shots, and Don Sny-
der, who booted one through the
goal. For Plattsburg, Gotz ac-
counted for two goals, while Rouse
scored one.

The Albany team was not at top
strength for this tilt, since Its star
defense men, halfback Joe Stella
and fullback Jack Hughes, were
sidelined with injuries sustained in
the contest at Queens. However,
the rest of the team took up the
slack as the forward line proceed-
ed to show that the best defense
is a good offense. Linemen Mar-
vin Luscier, Everett Welermuller,
Hank Hull, Don Snyder, and Co-
Captain Ben Button kept the pres-
sure off the State backfield by
spending most of the afternoon in
Plattsburg's territory.

Team Shapes Up

In this game at Plattsburg, the
Albany booters began to show signs
of living up to their fine pre-sea-
Son form. They displayed good
teamwork and were free from much
of the pressure and tension which
were evident in their opening game
at Queens College of New York
last Saturday.

In this game the soccer squad
got off on the wrong foot as Queens
blasted across a goal early in the
first quarter and could not be head-
ed. The Queens eleven held this
slim margin until the last quarter,
when they scored twice again to
make the final score 3-0.

State's offense was good in this
game, but the scoring punch was
not there. The main thorn in the
side of the State team was Pete
Meyer, Queens' ace halfback, who
repeatedly broke up potential scor-
ing threats set up by the Albany
offense, Joe Stella finally booted
one in for State In the last quar-

cd ter, but the point was nullified by
~ an off-side penalty.

Freshman goalle John Pengelly
played a good game, but could not
stop the yolished Queens offensive
He made ten saves in holding the
opposition to three goals, The two
Lindberg brothers, Bill and John,
and fullback Jack Hughes also
played good defensive games.
