Drive Captains to Approach
Classmates for Pledge
to Building Fund
Those members of the senior
class who attended the Dorm drive
meeting in the Ingle room Monday
night went on record as being in
favor of a combination recreation
center and dormitory. The meet-
ing was called to clarify the objects
of the Dorm drive,
The approximately fifty seniors
present almost unanimously agreed
that the dormitory would have no
ill-effects upon fraternities, sorori-
ties, and group houses as they exist
today. The session lasted from 8:15
aes be 15 o'clock.
Sayles, acting president, out-
sees his plan. The seniors respond-
ed with questions on the dormitory
The practicality of a field house
was thoroughly discussed. A con-
siderable portion of those present
expressed their opposition to the
building of a field house without
a dormitory, The concensus of
opinion was that further investiga-
tion of finances was required be-
fore anything further would be done
No satisfactory plan was advanced
for the upkeep of such a building

possibility of a loan to build a field

Senior Citizens
Monday evening there was a senior meeting
in the Ingle room. The purpose of this meeting was
to discuss the pros and cons of the men’s dormitory
drive.
the meeting. This means that out of the 283 mem-
bers of the senior class, 233 knew all there was to
know about the dorm drive. Therefore, these 233
seniors are behind the drive 100% and are willing
to sign their pledges as soon as they are contacted
by the drive captains,
We feel sure that this year’s seniors should
make excellent secondary school teachers, They
are extremely interested in where their hard-earned
is going to be spent. They are the citizens
of tomorrow—they have the power to educate the
minds of the younger generation, With such civic
minded citizens of tomorrow, we entrust the com-
ing generation—and we pity those poor adolescents
who will have such wonderful leaders’ help.

D&A Revolting?
Commentstater
(THE COMMENTSTATER is given the widest
latitude as author of this column, though the view-
points expressed do not necessarily reflect those of
the Stare Cou.ece News.)
With a News editorial clamoring for the “opening”
of Music council, and a resolution pending in Student
association reorganizing that “closed corporation,”
comes neWs of a trend being established voluntarily
by Dramatics and Arts council. Enmeshed in sorority
reorganize or disintegrate. The council plans to scrap
its antiquated constitution and adopt a new election
system.
In carrying out such a reorganization, council
members, knowing full well “what the score is,” have
diagnosed their own shortcomings and formulated
what could be a workable solution.
Outstanding weakness in past years has been that
the selection of members must be made on Moving-up
day from the freshman class. Obviously, the only
sound basis for judgment is active participation in
what one generally associates with the dramatics and
arts, Inasmuch as such participation occurs chiefly
in the sophomore and junior year, NO freshman can
qualify for election,
As it now stands, Dramatics and Arts council is
an executive body. Personality, executive ability,
popularity, and sorority affiliation have prompted past
appointments. Ability OR interest in the dramatics
and arts must become essential requisites for selec-
tion. Newly appointed representatives would require
approval of both faculty sponsors, This should elim-
inate “hand-picking.”
The new election system might well be patterned
[fatter the method now employed by Debate council.
| This would taean the selection of three representa-
| tives from the junior class to serve two years and
one member of the senior class to serve one year.
H Paramount in the minds of D and A's constitution
revisers must be a determination to remove present
| “harriers” to representation of the stronger sex. It
| has been eight years since a man has been even so
much as considered for election to council. This
condition may be attributed to the now famous “vicious
‘ cycle." Knowing appointment to be an impossibility,
| men have failed to try out. Having no men to con-
sider and looking for none, council has been consist-
ently appointing women. “The dishonors were even.”
The next few weeks will reveal whether or not all
this Is but idle talk. If action is taken by Dramatics
and Arts council, well and good. If not, the associa-
tion will inevitably be reorganized by resolutions from
the floor of the assembly. It is desirable that all
reorganizations come from within, but, if not, it must
and will come from without.
see
Recent assemblies have demonstrated that the
wheels of our democracy are grinding very slow. One
cannot imagine the speed at which they will turn
when the budget hits the floor. If past experience
is worth anything, it presages a hectic meeting.
Already rumors of budget difficulties are perplexing |
our committ and boards. Last year, two meetings
were required to adopt our budget. Since then we
e felt a reduction by fifty taxpayers and a 20%
et cut. A cut of fifty more taxpayers this sum-
seems likely, All of Which makes passage of the
in a single meeting virtually an impossibility.
‘The solution is to consider the budget earlier, pre-
ferably on May 3. Introduction of the budget on the
third means plenty of time for discussion and investi-
gation before acceptance on the twenty-fourth. It also |
means that Student association elections must be
begun as soon as constitutionally permissible, Which
will relieve that last minute rush in May. Mr, Kelly

Saturday night saw the finis
written to a mediocre State cage
season—but it was a finis that set
us wondering why the season hit
the mediocre low that the final
figures show. We were a bit stun-
ned after the Niagara game. Mc-
Gill fooled us, too. But we were
Positively electrified by the per-
formance the boys put on the other
night in sinking the Engineers fif-
teen points under.
Personally we doubted very much
that the old home court charm
would work again for State, what
with RPI boasting a season of only
two losses prior to the tragic trip
to Page last Saturday. But it all
went off like clockwork much to
the disgust of our good friend,
Coach Donald, who, it is rumored,
cast about threats never to bring
another team to Page.
As early as the week before the
game did the ‘'Tutemen have the
excuse for their downfall whipped
up. Said sports editor Herman
Zowader of the Rensselaer Poly-
technic in summing up the State-
RPI situation:
“It is the size of their court that
has made the Purple and Gold
nearly invincible (have we been?)
at home, Their shellacking at the
hands of the "Tutemen last Decem-
ber may also be attributed to their
small court, One theory maintains
that when they suddenly found
themselves playing on such a per-
fect court (RPI's) they were com-
pletely overcome with their luck
and didn't recover till the game
wats over.”
He goes on to remark that the
"87 gym is one of the most perfect
courts in the east, while “it’s pretty
difficult to believe that Page hall
even measures up to the minimum!

Teachers Score Over RPI
In Last Contest of Year
Stane Fit alr ck’ Frosh Down RPI
In Overtime Tilt
Win Over Junior Engineers
Merritt Is High
State brought its regular varsity
basketball season to a successful
conclusion last Saturday night by
easily defeating RPI 48-33. In so
doing, the Teachers finished the
present campaign with five victories
in_twelve starts.
The game was almost identical to
last year's home court victory. State
could do little wrong in the first
half as it held a 24-10 lead at
the intermission. In the closing
periods, the Teachers spurted only
when the “Cherry and White” made
its infrequent rallies. Paul Merritt's
12 tallies led State’s well divided
point total. For RPI, Carman
played well and Joe Madden scored ;
ten points during the second half.
Sophomores Start
Coach Hatfield surprised a ca-
pacity crowd by starting four soph-
omores, Dickson, Merritt, Brauner,
and Hilton along with Simmons,
Playing heads-up, fast, aggressive
ball, this quintet pushed off to an
early-9-4 lead and then played the
visitors right off the floor to win
going away. For most of the game
the starting five, plus Will Frament
and Arnie Ellerin, saw all the ac-
tion, and gave State fans plenty
to cheer about. It was the first
time this season
corded a winning performance with-
out encountering any difficulty,
Some statistics clearly point out
the State domination. Of 59 shots
taken by the victors, 19 or 1-3 were
made as against RPI's 9 out of 62
attempts. In the first half, when the
Teachers were stowing away

by Douglas Dillenbeck and John
Gardephe, juniors, in working with
the members of ‘Operatic society,
a one-hour course.
The scene of the operetta, which
is typically Gilbert and Sullivan,
is laid in a nineteenth century Eng-
lish castle, At that ime fleshly |
poets were the vogue and each of
the rapturous maidens of the court
attempted to ensnare one, A simple
dairymaid, Patience, scoffed at
their wiles and promptly was claim-
ed by the object of the maidens
attention; but she fell in love with|
an idyllic poet. After further com- |
plications, matters are settled to}
the satisfaction of all except the
fleshly poet.
Favorites in Cast
The feminine lead, Patience, will
be played by Edna Potter, ‘40. The
rival poets will be portrayed by
James Sherwood, '40, as Archilbald
Grosvenor, the idyllic poet; and
Clarence Olsen, ‘41, as Reginald
Bunthorne, a fleshly poet. Other
members of the cast are; Alice
Kemp, Grad; Robert Karpen, Char-
lotle Nielson, seniors; Carol Golden, |

this time Reynolds had a regular

now and is only heard over the

But he can be heard via a_ vie,

Blue World; Decp Night; Now
You Know; Wouldst Could 1 But
Kiss Thy Hand, Oh, Babe; Mo-

Weren't for You; Marcheta; Make
Love with a@ Guitar; and his own
original composition and themo
song, Pipe Dreams.
Highlights of his style include
trumpet, trombone, and tenor sax
solos, and his own licorice stick
work, Says Jack Vavasour, head of
the music committee, "Tommy Rey-
nolds will fill the space left vacant
by Artie Shaw.”
A sophomore, you say; he's ;-reju-
