Bold Thugs Take It on the Lam
With $350 Worth of Co-op Jewels
jam Dorrance ®
‘The police aren't
after you, ‘The sensational Co-op
robbery wasn't an “inside job.”
What am I talking about? Why,
the jewel robbery that made the
headiines from coast to coast; the
robbery of the Co-op last Friday
night that netted a gang of d
peradoes $350 in loot.
Friday was a perfect night for
a hold-up. The blinding snow and
Soiree forced most people from the
si Parent's night was in
progress at Milne. All the college
buildings were open.
At 11:50 o'clock Mrs. Miner, a
cafeteria employee, came down|
from tke third floor of Milne and
saw three boys (not men) lurking
outside of the Washington avenue
window of the Co-op. Near a taxi
headed out of the rear driveway was
another boy. Upon observing Mrs.
Miner, they fled. She continued
on her way, slightly suspicious.
Apparently the boys returned,
broke the window, and forced the
steel bars. They jumped in, and
with a gall common to thieves, turn-
ed on the Co-op lights and helped
themselves to fountain pens, jewel-
ry, and cameras.
At 12:15 o'clock, George Gifford,
night watchman, on his nightly
rounds looked out of the auditorium
window and saw two of them with
their arms full of loot, He shout-
ed at them, but they ran across
the rear campus and escaped.
Mr. Hunt, chief engineer, inform-
cd the News that no one connected
with the college was under sus-
picion. According to Mr, Hunt,
someone took the time to acquaint
himself with the night watchman's
routine. “Every night," said Mr.
Hunt, “the watchman tours the
|buildings from Hawley hall to the
|third floor of Milne to set the
twenty-one clocks in the college.
His tour takes him about fifty
minutes, during which tim?
buildings are unguarded. As soon
as the thieves saw his flashlight
through the windows of Hawley
hall, they knew he had begun his
rounds, giving them fifty minutes
to break into the Co-op and take
what they pleased.”
Tnvestigation has shown that, be-
cause of the budget cut, there are
times when the college has very
little protection. In fact, during
the spring and summer months,
between 1:30 and 3:30 o'clock in
the morning there is no protection
whatsoever,

On Five-year Prerequisite
Nelson Explains New Resolution from Board of Regents;
Present Regulations to End December, 1942;
Students Will Qualify for M.A.
, Tr, Milton G. Nelson, dean, has released the following informa-
tion in regard to the recently adopted resolution of the Board of Re-
gents providing for the “five-year plan” of instruction for New York
state secondary school teachers: %
“The Board of Regents at its reg-
ular meeting on March 17, 1939,
adopted a resolution providing for
five years of academic and profes-
sional education as a_prerequisite
for the issuance of certificates valid
for teaching academic subjects in
the secondary schools, Present reg-
ulations that govern certification for
teaching in the secondary school
are to be discontinued on December
31, 1942, All persons, therefore, who
complete present requirements for
secondary school teaching on or be-
fore December 31, 1942, will receive
provisional certification under pres-
ent regulations; all persons who de-
sire to prepare for the teaching of
academic subjects and who will com-
plete such preparation on or after
January 1, 1943, will be required to
complete five years of preparation.
New Requirements
“The requirements established by
the Commissioner of Education pro-
vide that a candidate shall com-
plete a four-year curriculum, ap-
proved for the preparation of sec-
onday school teachers, leading to
a baccalaureate degree (or equiva-
lent preparation) and in addition
thirty semester hours in advanced
courses, This regulation results in
a minimum requirement of 154 se-
mester hours of undergraduate and
graduate instruction. The student

pect to complete the requirements
for the bachelor's degree duirng the
first four years and to qualify for
the master’s degree during the fifth

The in-service study and training
requirements provide that a holder
of a permanent certificate shall
during each successive ten-year
period from the date of issuance of
his certificate complete six semester
hours of approved courses or the
equivalent in approved profession-
al activity other than class-room
teaching.
State Program
“The faculty of the New York
State college for Teachers believe
that those who desire to enter upon
the five-year program of teacher
education must possess good char-
acter, freedom from speech defects,
freedom from physical deformity or
physical weakness, personality char-
acteristics suitable for the profes-
sion, proven ability to accomplish
scholastic tasks, and a sincere desire
to prepare for the profession of sec-
ondary school teaching. After ad-
mission it is proposed to extend the
freshman guidance service in order
that students may have a maximum
amount of faculty assistance and
counsel, particularly during the early
college years, in the selection of

It was quite apparent in last Friday's assembly
that the majority of the student body was voting
without knowing what the question that was be-

forgets to listen. Because of this restlessness they
are totally unprepared to vote and pass judgment

In the last assembly there was an hour and
fifteen minuies of debate and amendments upon
one committee report. At one time during this
period there was a motion for the previous ques

we ask you, just how are students, unfamiliar with
parlamentary procedures, going to keep things
ht and know what they are voting upon or
what their vote means?
The students of State are credited with being
on a high intelligence level, Why don’t they exer-
cise that intelligence and refuse to vote on mo-

everyone has the right to yote—he also has the
right to withhold his vote. Effective legislation

STATE COLLEGE NEWS, APRIL 19, 1940
To the Student Body:
In our our years at State college we have witnessed a
collegiate phenomena—an administration that believes in
a strict laissez-faire policy toward all extra-class activities.
The student body has appreciated this policy; we have
learned by our own mistakes; it has fitted us as teachers
for the secondary schools of this state—we have been con-
sidered adults!
At the present time a reorganization of sorority rush-
ing rules is being considered. The suggestions have come
from the present administration. The proposed plan is
to have two weeks of open rushing after college opens in
the fall. At the end of two weeks the sororities will be
divided into two groups and hold open houses, Immediate-
ly after this the sororities will send out their bids and the
sorority rushing program for the year will come to an end.
This proposed plan is modeled after the system now in u
at Syracuse university—-Syracuse is being brought to State!
The purpose of this proposed rushing program is to
eliminate dirty rushing, relieve the strain on the bewil-
dered freshmen, and prevent a few broken hearts.
To eliminate dirty rushing: The dirty rushing now in
use is at Intersorority tea—a freshman is to have one dane:
at each table—but if she is outstanding she is held over an
extra dance—dirty rushing, Under the new plan each
t the open house of each sorority, stay
their allotted time, then go on to the next sorority house.
Of course no sorority would even stoop to think of keep-
ing a freshman girl at their Greek house more than their
They wouldn't think of the possibility of
rushing—they wouldn't even let the

type of dirty

At the present time the administration is trying to ke op
the womens freshman camp rushin:
They even go so far as to prohibit the use of seror ty vine
and pins, and make the girls use adhesive tape to cov.
sorority insignia worn on their shoes. We can't imagi
the sorority girls meekly submitting to these regulations
under the new plan when they realize that they will hg
only two weeks of rushing when they return to College
ampus,
free from. sorority
To relieve the strain: As far as we have been able to
ascertain from this year’s freshman girls, they were under
no strain at all—they were not conscious of the fact that
they were being rushed, We wonder if the administra-
tion has considered the strain that will be forced upon the
present three hundred and sixty-five sorority girls as com-
pared to the approximately one hundred and seventy fresh-
men girls that they wish to free from an assumed strain!
To prevent broken hearts: In two weeks’ time what
sorority girl is qualified to pass upon the various merits
of a certain freshman girl and decide whether or not she
should be bid How can freshman girls, not yet orientated
to college life, decide what Greek organization to join
and thus mold their lives for the next five yes
Why does the administration think it a good policy to
take the girls back to the days of hair-pulling, face-slap-
ping rushing? Can it be that sororities are destined to
collapse and become non-existent? With the coming five-
year plan why not use the modern, up-to-date rushing sys-
tem now used in many other colleges—an intelligent, de-
layed bidding system is used, That is, no sorority ean bid
a freshman during her first year in college, Bidding is
delayed until the beginning of the sophomore year.
An impartial committee has been set up to study this |
proposed sorority rushing program. The committee
composed of one faculty member in favor of the new plan,
two sorority girls in favor of the plan
opposed to the plan. It is an impartial committee!! Of
course this committee is adequate to consider and pass
upon a plan that will effect the lives of approximately
three hundred and sixty-five women and the future of
eleven Greek organization,
If the administration must take a hand in undergrad-
uate activities we suggest that it seriously consider the
new and more progressive rushing method used on up-to-
date campuses of the country instead of bringing in a sys-
tem that is rapidly becoming obsolete,

Things we have been wanting to get off our chest:

Where are those student association business
meetings of yore? It wasn't so long ago when bus-
iness meetings were actually business meetings, and
not mass “horsing-around,” when the agenda’ was
considered in an orderly fashion, when Robert's
Rules was used to expedite business and not to im-
pede it. Last Friday's assembly was the most cha-
otic one we have ever seen, not to mention the dis-
i gusting exhibition of student participation that took
jplace. Evidently co-operation and a serious con-
| sideration of issues, like budget increases, come un-
der the heading of last year’s model. Can it be that
the intelligence level of the association is not ade-
| quate to understand the intrinsic value of co-opera-
tion?

We are still waiting for the time when some

the trimmings. The formula calls for the following
ingredients: unlimited enthusiasm, sure-fire issues,

for it in State college, if conducted in an organized

State amount to nothing more than a poster hung
on the main bulletin board. Our neighbors at RPI
limaxed a week of hot political campaigning with

Friday night. Not even three inches of snow could

Spring sports were forced to slog
through early thaws and some snow
during the beginning of this week,
and a few were completely halted
temporarily, However, mud and
snow can't affect swimming very
much, We've been splashing around
at Public Bath No. 3 for three nights
this week. The tennis racket is
making a lot of noise down in the
gym, awaiting the opening of the
courts, Softball is being bunted
around all over the lot—it started
out on the “eampus" in front of

to the Dorm field.
‘To paraphrase — “when spring
comes, can Camp Johnston be far

$12,917 Activities Budget ||
Belew is a copy of the budget to be submitted by the Finance |]
board in assembly this morning. Approximately 1005 student taxes
he id Lo date, making an income of $12,060 or a shortage
of $3.204—20¢ —in the $15,264 budget passed by the Student asso-
claticn for the sehool year 40.
‘The second column headed 1940-41" is a budget compiled from
the monies asked by the individual activities, It will be noted Unat
some activities took a voluntary cut, Since the enrollment is ex
pected to be 1100 next year, in order to operate under such a bud-
kel, it would be necessary to raise the student tax to $13.00 and
100° collection would still leave a $319.00 deficit.
The column labelled "With 20% Cut" is the budget to be pro- |]
posed by Finance board today. All activities which did not take
a voluntary cut, with the exception of those which absolutely could
hot be lowered, have been cut 20% bringing the total to $12,916.60, ||
‘This amount could be covered with a slight surplus by the present
$12.00 tax and 100¢% payment.
