The Crime of '39

(Dr, Robert Ricnow, instructor in social
studies, who appeared before the student uxsem-
bly lust Friday, has sent thix open letler to the
News to put all the facts before the student body.
It is hoped thal thix information will be used
by the students who contact their legislators
tonight.)

‘To the Editor of the Starx Cou. News:

We, the faculty, students and admin ration, of |
State college are dumbfounded. For without notice,
without discussion, and without open hearing the po-
litical forces of the state stand menacingly brandishing
their budget-cutting axes which threaten to dislodge
the supporting beams of our institution.

This is unprovoked aggression.

To defend their action the legislative leaders must
openly espouse one of the two charges against the |
New York State College for Teachers. It is not!
enough for them to advance against us under the
banner of tax reduction any more than the Hitler
thrusts can be justified by land-hunger. The choice
between less taxes and eflcient teacher training was
made when this institution was founded; it has been
repeated each year since 1844 and always the decision
of the people of New York has favored keeping and
even expanding the services we render. I repeat,
then, that the political leaders must specifically justify
our budget cut with one of Lwo reasons.

rst, are they charging us with the wast of $36,000

There was |

e: ientio We invite such an ; investigation: |

We ask for the bill of particulars. If they have not
sought out the facts they must be assuming wast

Is this how the legislature and the pepole of New |
York will punish our honesty and self sacrifice of the
past? Had we padded our budget in bygone yenrs |
we could take this slash without a whimper, But we
have tried to save the money of the state, We have |
gone without a gymnasium, We have strained to
hear the lecture in crammed and impossible lecture
halls, We have crowded our faculty three to an office;
we have learned to conduct three interviews to the
symphonic background of a staccato typewriter, We
file our papers in egy- GRAS How untair then such

Second, ty the lesdistiture proposing the withdrawal

The legisiature belleves Haat the people of New York

Since there ts no waste, the appropriation cut ot
36,000 means that the state is withdrawing the edu
cational opportunities tor New York youth, ‘There
will be two hundred fewer students in this coll
next year and Uae yeurs utter, Tf tits be the stand
of the legislature let them take dt. het there be ne
false issues. Let there be not attack under a smoke
sereen.

‘The udvocates of the budget-cut, of the dismissal
of fifteen instructors, are the advocates of less edu-
cational opportunity for New York youth. Supporting

How important is this proposed reduction of eight
and one-half per cent in our State College budget?
How important is it for all of us to “get behind” our
president in his struggle to have this $36,000 rein-
stated in the budget? Why must we redouble our al-
ready effective campaign in order to make certain
that we cannot fail? Here's why:

We who have been studying at State for the past
four years know all too well that we are understaffed,
even nov. The ratio of students-to-faculty is one to
seventeen, whereas, under the proposed reduction the
ratio would be one to twenty-three, With almost no
exceptions, the faculty now are working to capacity,
some carrying as many as twenty hours of classes
| each week, (Students on the Dean's List are allowed
a maximum of eighteen hours, with special permis-

sion.) Picture the condition that would exist should |;
|

the budget reduction be effected.

For years, the News has been campaigning for
better conditions for studying, better lighting, more
equipment, special courses, and countless necessary
repairs. A reduction of $5,100 is to be made in our
maintenance fund under the proposed budget. It is
highly evident that next year any suggestion of repairs,
or the amelioration of conditions, would be “out of

the question" If $5,100 is “lopped off" the maintenance

fund.
For over « score of years, President Brubacher has

been fighting to place State among the highest rank-

ing colleges in the country. Last year the Regent's

survey gave us the first rating among teacher train-

ing colleges in the United States, and placed u
among the first three liberal arts colleges on the bas!
of our high standard of admission. Three weeks ago

n delegation of three university deans visited us with |
the purpose of findin out Just what a teacher's college |

should offer. State, according to the deans, is to be

used as the measuring stick In a survey of other |

teacher training instutions. This high rating is made
possible only through the fact that we have laboratory
facilities, brary materials, and particula an ade-
quate and efficient faculty. The dism: 1 of twelve
faculty members would prima facie mean a decline
in our educational rating

Tonight, we, the 1,200 Statesmen, will have our
last-chance opportunity to fight for the retention of
this vital $36,000. Spokesmen have been selected to
| represent us Co the legislators, letters have been sent
publicity has been mailed throughout the state, and
a great number of students have devoted many hours
of work to this campaign. Your work, Mr. Freshman,
Sophomore, Junior, Senior, is just beginning. We owe
it Lo our President, we owe it to ourselves, Lo voice
our disapproval to the legislature TONIGHT. Do
hot hesitate to let your representatives know that you
are opposed to this reduction

If you have done your part so far, we thank you,
and urge you to redouble your work. If you have been
unable to help, start NOW! Attend the assembly
mecting at eleven o'clock, “piteh in” and do- your
tunost, but most important, SEE YOUR LEGIS
LATOR AND OBJECT TO THE CUT:

YOU AT THE LEGISLATURE, ‘TONIGHT.
} THERE!

year, but for all the years to follow. We of the |

action we have taken. We can do little but wait
for the decision that our representatives will make,

and we are quite content to accept that decision, |

feeling that we have stated our case as thoroughly | |

and as intelligently as befits a group of citizens of
the state.

Let us recapitulate briefly, Our stand has been
one prompted by self defense; we have asked noth-

ing that has not previously been ours. We have |

sought no increases, satisfied that our school was
offering us more than a fair chance for a superior
education. We have merely attempted to maintain
that high standard which we have achieved through
years of effort.

Our motives have not been entirely selfish. We
have more than an apathetic regard for the future
of the secondary schools in which we will teach, and
for the students who will take our places here. We,
convinced that education is a basic principle of any
country, have attempted to set forth the disastrous
results of such a budget cut to State college,

Our demands have not been exorbitant, As
future citizens, we uphold the principle of economy,
and we commend the efforts of the legislators to
lighten the load of the overburdened  tax-payer.

However, we sincerely believe that such economy |

should be planned as scientifically as is possible.
Following this principle, we would welcome an in-
vestigation of our own college us conclusive proof
of its value, We are certain that such an investiga-
tion would show the vital necessity of retaining
every member of the faculty, and every cent of the
maintenance fund,

As a protest, it was nothing new and different;
but as a student protest, organized, directed, and
carried out by students it was of tremendous im-
portance, Tt was an opportunity seldom offered to
young Voters, an opportunity to assert our preroga-
tive and to make our needs felt. 1t should serve us
in the future in good stead, for we have come face
to face with the machinery of government, and we
have come out wiser and more. interested citizens.

We have asserted our ideas as citizens of a great
state, and they have been received as such, We
can only, then, as citizens of that same state, place
our trust and respect in the men chosen to repre-
sent us, and await their answer,

Conversation With An Idiot

. Commentstater

“When I was in Tibet,” said the old Llama, “not
so long hence, the great gammon told me of a college
where the students had a voting system that was so
honest and fair and secret that they thought it would
work itself, And so they let it go, and interest lagged
more and more until only the candidates themselves
voted, Democracy went out the window and the whole
system went to pieces,”

Yup, the gammon was right but then I always
think of the Llamasery's college when everybody voted
for thelr gammon in the great assembly, The papas
spread all over the place and lalas that were dubious
were practically told how to vote by these papas.
Maybe it was democracy but somehow when some-
body is looking over your shoulder, whispering to you
how to vote—it doesn’t seem right,

Maybe if the college had realized that they were
voting for their leaders without thinking, they would
have thought, but they didn’t think, so they elected
thoughtless men without thinking. So, their lalas de-
cided that they wanted a fair deal, so they set up a
secret ballot, The voters had to walk about ten feet
out of thelr way when they went to see the dancing
girls. However, the lalas were too disinterested to
walk this or too lazy. Now the papas had irons in the
fire or were up for gammon or backgammon, and they
trudged this ten feet and missed watching the whirling
feet of the devilish dervishes—they voted and they
won, The lalas couldn't complain because they were
getting a secret ballot. This was democracy and that's
what they wanted,

Now, frankly, I think that this system and apathy
was highly odorous,

I know that I’m an old fog bound traditionalist but
I think that you train for democracy, or whatever you
want to call it, every day in all the little affairs deal-
ing with your leaders and friends. Well, I guess that
I've said enough about that, guess I'll see what hap-
pened in the balloting for presidency of padded cell row.”

The old Llama cleared his throat with a mighty

tended had a number of great teachers but they al-

| ways set in their little cupolas and muttered words of

oracular wisdom but did naught else. Oh, how I wish-
ed they could unbend and be one of us—especially
when we were in our last year. I always felt that if

marks we would have had better classes and learned
more in our and their special field, But the time I
suggested it they jeered at me—and finally they sent
me here.”

With a disgruntled laugh, the old Llama was led
away by his keeper.

Financial Appeasement

The annual senior dorm drive began a few weeks
before the Master rece et thus far only twenty
five members have given promises of $100 to be paid
within ten years provided they secure a teaching
position, Is this sum too much to pledge to the
college which has given its students four years of
educational growth? ‘The contribution is used to
raise not only the prestige and standing of the col-
lege but also the living facilities for future teachers
to come

Vive seniors out of the thirty-five who have re-
ceived teaching positions have given pledges:
Surely now that these are placed in the field, they
can spread out the $100 on a budgetary basis if

necessary. Tf the people who receive teaching posi- |

tions do not pledge, how under the sun can one
expect those who have no jobs to pledge? — ‘Those
who now have the positions ought to be the leaders

He Creates Parthenogenetic (Fatherless) Rabbits

Dr, Gregory Pincus, experimental roology professor at Clark Uni-
versity, tes succeeded in producing a strain of fatherless rabbits.
Eggs are removed from a female rabbit, treated chemically and are
then put into the fallopian tubes of another rabbit, the “host
mother’, for foetal development. At birth the baby rabbits have
the markings and other characteristics of their actual mother, and
none of their foster mother's. Dr, Pincus is shown examining rabbit
ova in a nourishing blood serum preparatory to injecting them into
the foster mother (not the one from which the eggs were obtained).

‘ork in this field may lead, it is hoped, to the breeding of pure
strains of domestic animals.

The State tennis squad, as yet
unknown, will launch its first ef-

this afternoon against R.P.I. on the
Troy courts of that institution.

the new schedule has since received
the approval of both Dean Nelson
and the Faculty Athletic committee.

booked for May 19 against Connecti-

a toll fee of fifty cents.

Highlights of the banquet will
be an address by Dr, A, R, Bru-

State Tennis Squad Meets

RPI Netmen at Troy Today

Ambitious Schedule Receives
Approval of Faculty
Athletic Group

RIDGEFIELD COURT OUT

Varsity Squad Is Indefinite
Pending Team Tryouts
for Candidates

The State tennis squad, as yet
unknown, will launch its first ef-
forts of the 1939 season in a match
this afternoon against R.P.I. on the
Troy courts of that institution,

Published as tentative last week,
the new schedule has since received
the approval of both Dean Nelson
and the Faculty Athletic committee,
with but one exception, The match
booked for May 19 against Connecti-
cut State Teachers at New Britain,
Connecticut, has been cancelled be-
cause of the Moving-up day cere-
monies scheduled for that date. It
is not yet known what action the
squad management will take in re-
placing the scratched tilt.

Meet Middlebury

This afternoon's match will be
followed up quickly tomorrow with
an encounter at Middlebury, Man-
ager Ken Doran states that these
first two matches will serve more
as warm-ups to augment the sparse
indoor practice to which the team
has thus far been limited, Regular
outdoor practice sessions have been
prevented by inclement weather and
the resultant late opening of the
Albany courts, Middlebury will be
remet here, Wednesday, May 3.

The squad will be unable to secure
the superior Ridgefield courts on
Partridge street for home contests
as was hoped, Consequently it will
be necessary to negotiate for the use
of whatever city courts may be avail-
able.

Lack Official Approval

‘The necessity of obtaining the of-
cla) O.K. of both Dean Nelson and
Dr, Dorwaldt of the candidate list
has made tryouts for the varsit;
squad impossible before the first
matches, As a result, the team to
face R.P.I. this afternoon will be
an arbitrary grouping. It is re-
ported that the services of Will Fra-
ment, No, 1 man last year, will be
lost to the squad for Saturday's
game at Middlebury.

The tentative list of candidates
follows; Ken Doran, Kar! Sense, and
Gordon Rand, senio Willard Fra-
ment, Max Sykes, and Edward
Tomasian, juniors; Cyril Kilb and
Stan Smith, sophomor and Irv-
ing Bil Henry Brauner, Edward
Colmar, Kenneth Johnson, Lothar
Schull Virgil Scott, Al Stiller, and
John Vavasour, freshmen,

Six of these, Doran, Rand, Fra-
ment, Tomasian, Smith, and Kilb,
are veterans from last season's cam.
paign, For home contests, the State
team will consist of nine men while
six will Lravel for away games,

We placed the three letter word

than the high-falutin’ things pre-
ceding it.

Riz leaves State this year, It is
meet that MAA's banquet should

his has been, If we felt pedagogical,
we might point out a few morals
on the value of sports to a man's

College House Wins Two Berths
On All Intramural First Team

by Arnold Ellerin

Selections for the 1
tramural basketball team resulted in
two men from College house being
placed on the first team while Pot-
ter club, KDR, and Avalon-Spencer
each had one representative,

‘The second team was well-divided,
KDR placing two men, with the
Grads, Avalon-Spencer, and SLS,
filling Ue remaining positions

Frank Quattrocehl, stir of the
championship KDI team, was the
Unanimots choice of every: selector
for the second consecutive year
Close behind him was Ken Doran
of Potter with w vole of 29 out of
a possible 30. Joh Bdge and Square
Carney, from College house, and
Bill Haller, Avwlon-spencer, were
bunched behind for the other three
positions.

Hill Brophy and John Murphy, of
the powerful KDR crew, led the
selections for the second team,
Charlie Wiberly trom the Grads,
Les Gerdts of Avalon-Speneer, and
Norm DeNeef of SLS round out the
second team.

®
All Tn

The first team ts a powerful ag
gregation and could well match any
team chosen in previous years. Quat-
trocehi is an excellent floorman und
can serve us the keystone for any
team, Doran and Edge are both
excellent shots and good — ball
handlers, Haller and Carney are
also good shots and excellent de-
fensive men

All men on the second team could
serve as excellent replacements in a
hypothetical game and the clo
turns clearly indicate. this fact

teams are as follows

M.A. A. Will Honor ‘Riz’

At Testimonial Dinner

This year, M.A.A.'s annual
awards banquet will take the
form of a testimonial dinner to
Dr. Adna Risley, professor of his-
tory, more commonly and affec-
tlonately known as “Riz” to his
associates, friends, and under-
classmen in bull sessions, The
banquet will be conducted Thurs-
day, in the college cafeteria with
a toll fee of fifty cents.

Highlights of the banquet will
be an address by Dr, A. R. Bru-
bacher, president of the college,
and a farewell speech by “Riz”
himself, The regular order of
business will also prevail — the
giving of awards to those eligible
candidates in varsity and intra-
mural sports,

The banquet will be the scene
of the first award of the intra-
mural cups for basketball and
touch-football, Cuthbert advises
that it will be a misdemeanor to
miss this important chance for
fellowship.

The chairman of the banquet
will be Frament, Tickets may be

purchased from intramural offi-
cials,

Kappa Delta Rho
Win League Cup

College House Is Second:
Potter Club and Grads
Tie for Honors

Kappa Delta Rho proved its su-
|periority in athletics as it emerged
|winner of the Intramural Basketball
league, The victory over College
house and the win by default from
the Commuters, wound up its season
with a perfect score of eight wins
and no defeats.

Close behind was College house
with six wins and two losses, Potter
club and the Grads tied for third
|place with five wins and three set-
backs each. Then followed the Al-
banians, last year winners. Avalon-
Spencer, Kappa Beta, SLS, and the
Commuters,

KDR W Twice

This is the second championship
that KDR has won this year. Barlier
they captured the Intramural touch
football league, again being unde-
feated, allhough they were tied once,

From the very first game, KDR’'s
team appeared powerful and was the
early choice to gain the champion-
ship, However, College house and
Potter club both pushed them to
the mit in their games before los-
ing, each by a small margin

Quattrocchi Stars

Frank Quattrocchi, captain of
KDR, was the main cog of the team,
He was unanimous choice for the
All-Intramural team as a result of
his excellent playing, Other members
of the KDR squad are; Brophy, Bull,
Poreino, Gillen, Sullivan, Murphy
and Bosley

The new MAA trophy will be
presented at the annual MAA ban-
quet on May 14, This is the first
year the trophy has been offered,
KDR will be the custodian of it
for one year, and will gain perma-
nent possession if they can win It
for three consecutive years.

B.C,

By trainload and busload State
maidens are migrating to the great,
out-of-doors in answer to spring’s
clarion call—which, with the aid of
an eartrumpet or two, we are finally
able to hear, This week's expedition
to Camp Johnston will be the
first of the spring series, Chair-
man Fran Riani predicts a highly
successful weekend, particularly in
view of the large number of campers
who have signed up. The weekend
planned for May 5-7 promises to be
just as well attended. Chairman
June Palmer will select her com-
mittees from those who plan to at-
tend.

Shades of Bingo, Screeno and
Lucky! Captains North and Chap-

man have devised a novel plan to!

stimulate interest in swimming and
attendance at the pool at each
of the swimming practices (which
incidentally will meet on Tuesday
and Friday afternoons, and Thurs-
day nights at Bath 3), Each swim-
mer will draw a number represent-
ing the distance she is to swim,
officially, during that practice, The
swimming distances will be re-
corded and computed for the whole
season, when a prize will be
awarded to the holder of the dis-
tance record. Cute, huh?

Captain Parizot announces that
riding is de rigeur again, But the
parade grounds have been moved
from Anspach’s to an academy, way
out on Washington avenue, Riding
times will be either Friday after-
noons or Saturday mornings, or
both, Watch bulletin board for det.
inite times. In case you've forgot-
ten, riding rates are $1.00 an hour,
and a $300 refund {is offered to
every person completing ten hours of
riding.

Junior Class Breaks Tradition
by Disclosing Results

of Late Elections
Another tradition of State col-
lege has been broken by the mem-
bers of the class of 1940. Formerly,
it was the custom to keep secret the
officers of the various fraternities.
This year, however, through the co-
operation of the two older frater-
nities and the two newer frater-
nities, the officers of these

aternities will be published.

Doggie Practically Begs Sophs

To Scratinize Rubbish Baskets

Red is supposed to be the soph
class color but circumstances as is
the color would be more suitable for
the frosh class or even Myskania.
As rivalry points gradually pile up
in favor of the spirited “4lers the
poor frosh are beginning to see
too much red. And as for Myskania
their face is vermillion! ‘They blush
to think that their hiding place was
discovered in what can go on the
books as a State college record.

An hour and fifty minutes after
the hunt started it ended when
delighted Dower and wondering
Walrath pounced upon the unsus-
pecting doggie. The funny part of
it is, the frosh were searching fran-
Ucally while the sophs were resting
when the mascot was actually dis-
covered, Walrath was taking @ short
breathing spell as he leaned against
the wastebasket between the mail-
boxes conniving with Dower on a
plan of attack, Just for something
to do, the two decided to search the
container, When they actually saw
the mascot, they were so surprised
and excited that they both rushed
into the girls’ locker room to put it
in safety until Myskania arrived.
Of course Walrath was slightly out
of place but almost anything was
excusable under these conditions.

Despite the fact that the hunt
Was short lived there was never a
dull moment, ‘The fun-filled frosh
walked off with the ladder leaving
au few sophs stranded on the roof
of Draper Cries were sent out to

who came lo their c

verybody happy? NO! The
disgruntled frosh who sat back
hitherto and watched sophs walk
off with quite a few points are now
squawking cause it looks as if sophs
have rivalry in the bag. Myskania
is aggravated because their noble at-
tempt to hide the mascot for the
first Ume under the new system has
been crilicized, And the gay young
sophs who should be walking on air
with five more points chalked up to
their credit are unhappy ‘cause the
aunt is over, As Bucci put it,
“Tain't no fun unless you can crawl
through all the ventilators.”

Now the victors are sorry they
didn’t rehide the mascot just to keep
the freshmen in an active mood, At
any rate you can't deny that the
sophs certainly have spirit, They
made so much noise running from
group house to group house cheering
and proclaiming their victory that
the local police phoned in com-
plaints to the administration.

Mrs. Poletti Addresses
Group on Government

Last Wednesday, Mrs. Charles
Poletti, wife of the Lieutenant
Governor of New York state, ad-
dressed a group of State college
students in the Lounge of Rich-
ardson hall, Her topic was a dis-
cussion of the workings of our
state and national governments.
She was sponsored by the Lounge
committee and Miss Helen More-
land, dean of students,

Mrs, Poletti talked informally
for about a half hour, and then
entertained questions from the
students present. She spent
some time in reviewing briefly
the meaning of the word, democ-
racy. She then explained the
workings of our state legislature,
and showed a copy of the legisla-
tive index, a booklet published
weekly, showing current, legisla-
tion. Some of her talk was cen-
tered around pressure groups, and
their influence in legislatures.
