(EDITOR'S NOTE: Numerous re-
quests have been received by the
State Coutece News for the intro-
duction of an educational column.
In this issue the News prints the
first in a serieés of such columns.
‘Anyone interested in contributing
to this column is requested to con-
tact the Editor-in-Chief.
This first article deals with the
uses and miguses of the terminology
“educational philosophy.”)
Of all the phrases tossed so aptly
at the’embryo teacher, “educational
philosophy” is probably the most
unfortunate. That it is unfortunate
is by no means due to any lack of
sensitiveness in the phrase itself. It
has become an almost worthless
phrase simply because it has been
exploited by professional and nov-
ice alike, gradually losing signific-
ance and broadening its scope until
it suggests today only that pair of
hackneyed generalities, traditional-
ism and progressivism.
It may be argued that the term
educational philosophy has reached
its logical conclusion. It extends an
air of authority, now, over both
camps in the field of education, and
this is very probably its mit unless
a new movement in education is
launched, But is this the logical end
of educational philosophy? Can it
not be of more service to education
in general? It is not difficult to
realize that when the essentialistic
movement collapses (as it ultimate-
ly must), there will be no use for
a system of values or preferences
such as are sugested by the term.
Educational philosophy will have
served its purpose.
It will have served its purpose,
that is, unless it is turned around
and .nade to back track down its
own path, shortening its scope once
again, and gradually limiting its
meaning until it becomes concerned
primarily with the issues facing ed-
ucation in the United States today.
How much better to have teachers
concerned with exemplifying democ-
racy in the classroom, than to have
them disputing antique issues. In

teaching, as in any other profes-
sion worthy to be called such, a def-
inite system of values, desires, and
preferences is necessary so that
there will be some shortening of the
long, dark tunnel.
Let those, then, who have accept-
ed the new role of education adopt
for themselves a new educational
philosophy that will set up guides
for a systematized attack on the
faults and lackings of our educa-
tional system. Only in this way will
the needs of the country be met.
‘Teachers who lack a philosophy of
their own can never hope to be of
real service to their profession. A
teacher who majors in “classroom
teaching” instead of merely subject
matter will serve as the best means
to the end. Anyone aspiring to be a
good teacher must, of necessity,
pause somewhere in his travels in
order that he may formulate some
plan that will guide him in his
work. For some teachers the pause
s too short; others never stop at
all,
If advancement is to be made in
education, it must be carried
through at the classroom level, not
in the brains of the great thinkers.
It is up to each individual teacher,
therefore, to decide what must be
done and how it is to be accom-
plished.
Canterbury Club
Sponsors Series
In Lenten Season
Canterbury Club, a religious or-
ganization, formed primarily for
the benefit of Episcopalian stu-
dents, will resume weekly meetings
during the Lenten season.
Canterbury Club’s first meeting
of the year will be held Wednesday
evening at 7:30 p.m. in one of the
activity rooms of Brubacher Hall,
announces Ruth Beetlestone ‘54,
President,
The topic under discussion for the
evening will be “Crowd Culture and
the Christ an Religion.” The dis-
cussion will be under the guidance
of Rev. R. Lloyd Hackwell and Dr.
Carleton Moose. Rev. Hackwell and
Dr. Moose plan to incorporate re-
cent campus happenings into the
discussion of the influence of the
crowd culture upon Christianity.
Future meetings, during the Len-
ten season, of Canterbury Club, will
include similar discussions on cur-
rent problems and their relation to
the Christian philosophy of life.
Miss Beetlestone states that all
students are cordially invited to at-
tend this first meeting of Canter-
bury Club.

actually been constructed to date.
Commercial interests have assail-
ed educational television as social-

against the idea of a public school
‘stem 100 years ago!!
In some ways educators were their
own enemies. Few have been gen-
uinely enthusiastic for the vast op-

STATE COLLEGE NEWS,
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1953
We were happy to see that, once more this year,
Inter-Sorority Council has traded fun and foibles
for fun and constructive enterprizes with the substi-
tution of Help Week, which begins Monday, for
the former Hell Week. All next week the pledges of
seven sororities on campus will be taking part in a
program which is receiving more and more atten-
tion in colleges throughout the country—that of
channeling the imaginations and ambitions of haz-
ing experts into more positive and durable results,
Tt seems that, in order to become a member of a
closely knit group with recognized social standing,
the nominee must somehow prove his worth, or, in
some cases, prove that he can take it. What better
way to prove something more than the ability to
take a joke than to devote time to charity organiaz-
tions, youth centers, and the like? The fun of the
initiation period remains, but only, we hope, as an
incidental factor to a far better purpose—Help. We
hope that in years to come this will become an es-
tablished and expanded tradition at State.
Hats off to the State Fair Committee, all the or-
ganizations which contributed their time and efforts
to making it a profitable event, and especially to
the faculty for an evening of Jun and a profit, un-
officially cstimated, of close to $450.
Look Before...
Today in Assembly SA will have as guest speak-
er the President of the student body of Champlain
College. Undoubtedly, he will ask for the support
of our student body in his college's attempts to
forestall Government action in reclaiming the land
upon which Champlain is located for the purpose
of building an Air Force Base. We do not wish to
anticipate the words of the speaker. Without doubt,
he will have an interesting and vital case to place
before us, however, a word of caution, Make sure
you know where the bandwagon’s going before you
jump on.
Inconclusive, But . . .
Two weeks ago in Assembly, the Vews c mducted
a poll on the desires of SA in regard to evening
hours for the College Library. The original purpose
of the poll that of getting student opinion in ble
and white in the hope that it might stir action, was
not fulfilled, since response was so small due to
the meager attendance in that week’s meeting (Only
381 polls were turned in.) Therefore, we do not
pretend to have established anything conclusive;
however, if we may draw a conclusion from th
written vpinions and from others presented to us
orally we feel that a definite indication has been
heard from a sufficient number of students to war-
rant attention. The indication is this: many feel
that a college library should better serve the stu-
dents of the college in the matter of evening hours,
or, if that library must limit itself to Gwo nights a
week available for student use, that it not include
the day when all sororities and fraternities hold
meetings on those nights, A few even felt that it
should remain open every week day night,
This matter has been taken to the Administra-
tion several times and has never received a negative
or even discouraging answer, therefore we feel there
is hope. Hf it is a matter of need for additional help,
we hope that an attempt will be made to provide
for that in the next budget. In the meantime, why
not take on additional student aid? AIL the ex;
sion in facilities and collection is of Tite help when
they are locked up when you need theny most

NEBULOUS SUBTLETIES
During the past two weeks we have noticed an in-
creased amount of carelessness on the part of the
student body in the cafeteria. No one seems to be re-
sponsible enough to pick up his garbage after he has
finished eating. Even when dishes, paper, etc., are
piled high on the table, many people pile them stil]
higher. Also, the leaving of coke and milk bottles on
the floor in the annex is becoming a hazard to inter-
cafeteria travel. We have heard many complaints
about the unhealthy conditions which prevail in the
cafeteria, and we feel that we have no one to blame
but ourselves. If every student would take it upon
himself to pick up his dishes and papers after finish-
ing his lunch, our cafeteria wolud be quite a bit
neater, and complaints would be fewer.
UNINTELLIGIBLE MESS
There have meen many complaints concerning the
newly acquired television set, which has been placed
in the lower lounge at Brubacher. We feel that some
of these are justified. Perhaps the most constructive
complaint is that of placing the set in the lounge in
the first place. Since the Television set has been there,
the lounge has lost its advantages for quiet study and
is in a constant state of disorder. The furniture has
been forced to one end of the room, the lights
usually out and the noise of tha set is, at times, un-
hearable. Before the permanent aerial has been in-
stalled we would suggest that SUB look into the pos~
sibility of putting the set into one of the activity
rooms, This would probably have many advantages
over the present system.
The only difficulty that comes to mind Is that of
furniture for the room—if SUB could furnish such a
room and find some furniture for it, we might have
a place for study and a place for TV viewing, at the
same time.
WORN OUT CLICHES
We note with interest the sudden upswing of activ-
ities of certain fraternities, as the day of reckoning
draws pear. Last mjnute jitters have made the fra-
ternities put pyt a call fpy a final and gloyious blast
of feverish activity, In the hope that all will not be
lost. We hope that the freshmen men will not let
their vision be clouded by such furtive actions,
PUERILE COMPLAINTS
We were sorry to hear that many people did not
enjoy the performance of Emlyn Williams last Tues-
day. We found it very difficult te ‘understand why
some individuals could come away from the auditorium
wholly unimpressed, and even be critical of D and A
for bringing Mr. Williams to State. We believe D and
A should be highly commended for putting on such
an event and we hope they will continue the policy
in the futuye,
VENOMOUS DIATRIBEN
Undoubtedly we will again be confronted with the
problem of compulsory insurance in the very near
future. The two choices will probably be compulsory
insurance or a new, higher insurance rate for those
who want a policy. We are inclined to favor the
former, yet we would first investigate other insurance
companies to see what they have to offer. We have
become so involved with our present company that
we might have overlocked advantages which could be
offered by ptheys for the same price. We do not mean
to say that the present company Is not deserving of
commendation, but there are undoubtedly others who
might give them a little competition if we were to
notify these companies of our desires. This competi-
tion would probably bring about some compromise
which would be advantageous to us.

State Succumbs
To Fair Gaiety
“Now where shall we go?” was
the word at State Fair as people
milled around the concessions
full of fantasy, humor, and food.
Hot dogs and coke were trans-
formed into camel's rolls and
oasis guzzle in the unbelievable
world of Psi Gamma’s Arabian
cafe, Food and paintings were
sold by the faculty, The delect-
able pop corn, punch, and other
edibles brought satisfied expres-
sions to the faces in the crowds.
Students could try their care-
im at targets, such as the
ers of | Myskania; and
were transported to the world of
freak era of the Nic-
Kleodeon, Several brave couples
took the leap and got married
at the Fair,
Prizes, applause, and piano
selections brought a fitting close
to the gaiety of State Fair for
another year.

On Emlyn Williams
By ROSS NEWMAN
The curtains opened on a curious-
looking object made of wood. It was
slightly ornamental and looked like
the distant relative of a desk, It
stood on a small red rug that was
not visible to the entire audience.
The rest of the stage was bare. The
“desk” was soon bathed in a torrent
of warm and brilliant light. There
was a brief moment of complete si-
lence, a stir, and Mr, Wil!\ams walk-
ed on. He was dressed quite fastid-
jously in a black suit and waistcoat,
circa 1880. He had a long black
beard and a multitude of hair, He
carried a number of volumes, faded
in color and considerable in size.
He walked to his “desk,” put the
books down gently and proceeded
to take off his gloves, He did so with
an infinite amount of care and not
without obvious relish, When the
gloves were off he thrust them on
the desk. About him was an air of
accomplishment and triumph. He
looked at his audience. He seemed
surprised to find people in the bal-
cony. He picked up one of the vol-
umes, beheld its title from a dist-
ance, drew it closer and began to
read.
There followed one of the most
satisfying and memorable experi-
ences ever to be found within a
theatre, His voice, an instrument of
extraordinary range and magnificent
quality, brought music to the audi-
ence. It sang and laughed and paint-
ed vivid pictures of great beauty.
His mobile face contorted into an
endless parade of striking poses, an
inexhaustible variety of expressions
that ran from the sublime to the
ridiculous. And through it all beam~
ed the radiance of his own person-
ality, a forceful but charming one,
vital and warm, He seemed to love
what he was doing and eager to
share his enthusiasm for his ma-
terial with the audience, He seemed,
indeed, to be very fond of his audi-
ence,
Needless to say, it was a mutual
love.

To the Editor:
For the past six months the
dwindling number of readers of the
“Common-stater” have been sub-
jected to an incessant outpouring
of disgusting trivia and puerile com-
plaints.
Combining the venomous dia-
tribes of a cobra and worn-out
cliches, this column has deteriorated
to an unintelligible mess unworthy
of as fine a paper as the NEWS.
The feeble attempts at erudition
have resulted only in. adding this
column to the cult of unintelligibi-
lity. The vague innuendoes and ne-
bulous subleties have been so ob-
scure that they have escaped the
comprehension of all but a select
many.
Where are the days of the con-
structive criticism and wit of
Schultz and Eade, Gorskie and
Kyle, Dunn and Peene? Now Is the
time to exchange mediocrity and
bland utterances for positive opin-
fons concerning State's problems
and views better-representing the
student body.
Yours truly,

College Library
Acquires Beoks
The College Library has recently
purchased a new set of books en-
titled, “The Great Ideas, a Synto-
picon’ of Great Books of the West-
ern World,” It is composed of fifty-
four volumes, which according to
its editors are preeminently those
which have given the western tra-
dition its life and light.
“The Great Ideas," the second
and third volumes, are a collection
of the topics which are the main
themes of the conversation to_be
found in the Great Books. The
terms are arranged in alphabetical
order. The volumes consist of 102
chapters, each containing an essay
on the idea under consideration,
followed by an outline of the topic
and the references which locate, by
volume and page, the relevant works
and passages in the Great Books,
Consisting of over 1,000 topics, the
Syntopicon is both a book to be
read and a reference book.
New records have also been added
to the College Library announces
Miss Mary E. Cobb, librarian. Rec-
ord acquisitions include Beethoven's

Something must be done! Are we

on acting like a group of grade

‘There are ashtrays in the Commons.
They were placed there, not as an

aren’t enough ashtrays? Then per-

To the Editor:
The public relations department
at State ts In dire need of repair—
or construction
Many of us students have often
wondered why State is not equally
represented amongst the local col-
leges in the local daily newspapers
Between semesters this wonderment
was put in the form of a letter to
the editor of one of the local news-
papers, namely “The Times-Union.”
In this letter I criticized (without
justification it appears) the paper
ior neglecting to give State equal
representation in its social and ath-
letic events.
Here is the gist of the reply writ-
ten to me by Mr. Albert J. Bearup,
Acting Managing Editor:
“The Times-Union’ strives to give
proper representation to all the
school is in the vicinity. However,
our staff is not large enough to pro-
vide representation at the dozens
of sports events which occur, usually
on weekends. So, to give coverage,
we must depend on the schools to
work with us in providing informa-
tion,
“As you probably know, each col-
lege in our area has 2 press rela-
tions department which aids not
only the college, but also the serving
newspapers.
“Might I suggest that State also
build up an adequate bureau which
would teed its material to the news-
papers? Certainly we of ‘The Times-
Union’ do not wish to neglect your
school and if you establish a press
department similar to those of Si-
ena and ABC, which you mention-
ed in your leter, you will find that
State will get more news space, not
only in our paper, but in others in
this section,
“Such a bureau would also aug-
ment publicity relative to other
events at the school, such as plays
and social events,”
‘There is definitely a need for bet-
ter public relations for State here
in Albany. I know little of the func-
sions of our own Press Bureau, but
I would assume that it does not
tand should not) handle local pub-
lic_relations.
From Mr. Bearup's letter, it would
seem very advantageous to the col-
lege to “get on the ball.” It would
appear that what we need is a Pub-
lic Relations Department to work
with the local newspapers. College-
community relations are bad. They

As ABCA Fé
By ABEL BLATTMAN
It was like some wonderfully in-
tricate musical pattern for ten short
minutes on Monday. Weave, drive,
feed, shoot, We could feel the rhy-
thm, and note the variations. We
could sense the pleasure that the
performers must have felt in their
brief capture of perfection. They
were doing a job and doing it well.
Weave, drive, feed, shoot. Again and
again. They liked it. The fans liked
it too. Then it was gone. It came
back in a few spots, but for the
rest of the game the gufs were just
good. During those ten minutes thef
mere great.
To whom do the laurels go? First
to Nels LaRoe, whose sterling de-
fense, and whose last second hoop
forced the game into an extra five
minutes. First also to John Centra,
whose 22 markers paced the Peds
attack. First also to Hiram Walker,
who has regained the old touch, the
drive and spark that we all knew
he had.
We've been criticized in the past
for knocking the ball club. People
have claimed that tearing them
apart was easy; that building them
up was hard. All we have to say in
defense of our opinion is that the
exact opposite is true. It certainly
isn’t easy to needle guys we've play
ed ball with, guys whose hard work
we respect and admire, but for a
time something was missing. It's not
nissing now,
Tomorrow the squad takes on a
seyappy New Paltz team, The New
Paltz coach is a cagey one, every-
thing from waxed basketballs to a
tricky zone detense. The tilt prom-
ises to be a thriller as is gene
the case when the Statesmen take
on the Orange and Blue.
On Saturday. the College will act
ns host to the Capitol District High
Schools in a local area debate and
the participants have been extended
an invitation to attend the game.

In IM Action
Wednesday night the freshman
IM _ basketball teams, the White
Eagles of the B League and Sum-
mit House of the C League, had a
very successful evening as they both
won tough games. In the other game,
APA rolled over the Rebels in the
B League, Summit House looks un-
Leatable in their league and Schon-
berg is still scoring. In Wednesday's
game he hooped 35 as Summit
Crushed KB, 64-36. The White Eag-
les held the runner-up position in
League B as they nipped the stub-
born Finks, 34-29, Hughes had 10
and Sheedy 8 for the Eagles, The
Alpha Pi Alpha quintet, which is
beginning to hit its stride, easily
disposed of the Rebels, 46-31, as
“Flash” Fox and Hank Hull hooped
17 and 12 points respectively.
Monday Games Close
Three of the best games of the
year were played in Monday night's
IM action. The battle for first place
in the A League produced a real
thriller between the Indians and
Potter Club, with EEP eeking out a
35-34 decision, Newt Owens' 11
points were high for the well-bal-
d Club team, while Bob Strau-
21 for the Indians was high for
the evening. In League B, the up-
and-coming Rebels nipped VanDer-
zee in another close one, 34-31
Johnson and Marsh netted 12 and
10 respectively for the Rebels as
Coan hooped 15 for the losers. The
White Eagles of the O League made
their bid for first place, but the
sharpshooting LOFBP stopped them,
33-30. Jack Hughes of the White
Eagles canned 14 for individual scor-
ing honors while Hausner had 12
and Fernandez 10 for the Legion,

WAA extends an invitation to spec-
tators. Why not stop in at Page to-
morrow to watch this game? The at-

LaRoe’s Basket
Ties Score, Peds
Win In Overtime
Tomorrow night at 7:30, p.m. the
Statesmen will tangle with New
Paltz on the Page hardwoods. New
Paltz was an easy victim for State
earlier in the year, but with a scor-
er like Andy Juhl and an all-around
scrapper like Donoghue, they could
prove troublesome to the Peds,
After chalking up a 12 point mar-
gin early in the first quarter, the
Peds tounds themselves trailing Wil-
limantic by four with only 30 sec-
onds to go in last Monday's con-
test. Two hoops by Nels LaRoe tied
the game at 75-75, and State went
oe to win easily in the overtime 87-
Centra Scores Early and Often
John Centra tossed in two quick
baskets to get State off to a fast
lead, When the score reached 9-0,
Willimantic called time in an at-
tempt to get their offense clicking.
State, slowing down towards the end
of the quarter, held a 22-17 edge.
Centra accounted for half of the 22
points, The second half saw State
again spurt to a wide margin only
to have it cut slowly by the Willies.
Halitime score was 39-32 in favor of
State.
Walt McNally began to hit the
nets in the third quarter with dead-
ly consistency on long one hand
push shots as he lifted his team
into a lead for the first time in the
game. The lead changed hands sev-
eral times, and the quarter ended
with Willimantic winning by two
points,
LaRoe Ties Game
In the final canto the Peds battled
furiously to regain the lead, but
they were unable to hold it. After
Nels LaRoe had cut the deficit to
two points with 20 seconds remain-
ing, the Willies took the ball out,
but couldn't keep possesion as La-
Roe bottled up the man with the
ball and State took over. A Wil-
limantic time-out did more for the
Peds than it did for them, as La-
Roe again came through with the
key hoop.
John Centra, who has made ter-
rifle showings in the last two home
contests, meshed 22 points to take
high point honors for the night.
Walker added 19 markers, while La-
Roe had 17 in the winning effort.
Walt McNally scored 30 points for
the Willies, with 16 coming in the
third quarter,
Peds Trounce Harpur
Last Saturday, State had no trou-
ble in downing the Harpur Colonials
64-50, Albany grabbed an early lead
which they never relinquished. They
held leads of 18-12, 28-25, 46-34, at
the end of each of the first three
quarters respectively, Hiram Walker
led the Statesmen with 21 points,
Gerry McDonald added 12 more.

Art Kapner, local insurance rep-

program of compulsory insurance
which his company has offered for
consideration, The plan would be an
allocated program with the pre-

compulsory nature, the major dif-
ferences from the plan which SA
Subscribes to at present would be a
reduction of coverage to a Septem-

deductable clause on prescriptions,
meaning that medication would be
covered by the policy only when in

as they look forward (through
blackened eyes) to Sunday night
and formal initiation.
Some of the ingenious antics
contrived by the twisted brains
of various HELpmasters have
caused shrieks, sobs and groans
from our courageous pledges.
Backaches from shining shoes
in the Commons, guilt feelings
from borrowing bow ties from
the faculty, and strained mus-
cles from measuring statues in
Washington Park are maladies
common among these unfortu-
nate neophytes,
But there is a look of flend-
ish expectation in the eyes of
those who survived the week.
The thought behind the look
is one of vengeance: Pity the
Pledges of '57!
