which were a scholarship fund, a bus and a

ILLEGAL
More students at State College smoke in the hall than free samples
can be provided for. If the College and Campus Commission have set
up regulations prohibiting smoking, why not enforce theen, or, better
yet, why not obey them ourselves. Perhaps the present study of Campus
Commission will shed some light on this
NOTEWORTHY
If we could see such innovations as we found in the cafeteria this
week life would have a rosier hue. A whole roomful of new “smooth
and shiny” tables had been put in over the weekend. We've certainly
seen a number of improvements in that area this year. We hope cur-
ains might be planned for the dining rooms eventually. Although we
weren't here when it happened, we have a sneaking suspicion that the
cafeteria and kitchen were built around whatever space could be found in
lower Husted, the building not having been planned for a food opera-
tion. The bottlenecks that we fight all winter are not due to bad plan-
ning but to the physical restrictions. Now if we were to move walls

UPON US
A prophetic note was sounded this past weekend at the Delaware
Theatre in the movie “Doctor in the House." To paraphrase the situa-
tion “Why aren't you studying? ‘There are only four weeks ‘til finals!”
The number of college students in the audience felt the hand of Fate
upon them. Needless to there are only three weeks left now, what
happened to all the good intentions last January?
OLITICAL PREDICTIONS
While sitting in our private office, pondering the fate of the
dates in last week's election, we were startled by the appearance

copy it down, State College's own Scotland Yard arrived on the scene
and the “13 rried the intruder and all papers off into the night. We
offer these glances from that paper: Bob Betscha, Enid Vigilante, Linda

can Baseball League this week, the
seven softball squads in the Ameri-
can division of the Intramural Soft-
ball League were clawing each other
in quest of the championship. The
feature of this week’s play was the
two victories chalked up by the
APA nine.
Allasio Throws 4-Hitter
Last Thursday APA, with veteran
hurler John Allasio on the mound,
won a close game from a stubborn
Pogos club, 4-3. Ioele pitched a
strong game for the Pogos, allow-
ing only six hits, but his perform-
ance was not quite good enough as
APA pushed across two runs in the
first inning and single tallies in the
last two frames,
After a weekend of rest the Pogos
bounced back Monday only to be
clubbed 13-9 by the dark horse
Teammate Lou “Big Buick" Carr
also belted a homer for the winners,
Toele absorbed his second loss of
the week.
Finks Win
The Finks put on their hitting
shoes and walloped the Rousers,
21-3. Jack Peacock and Joe Zizzi
helped twirler Jack Gibson to the
win with a homer apiece. Joe Pur-
cell was the victim of the Finks’
hitting spree.
VDZ Triumphs
Last Wednesday VDZ blasted out
15 hits which, with the help of some
horrendous fielding, enabled them
to slaughter the fratmen, 26-6, Steir
slugged the only round tripper of
the game for the winners. Loricchio
and Connors shared the hurling du-
ties for the KB squad.

Sports Mailbox:
| The Big Four?
To the Sports Editor:
Students have been clamoring for
more Intercollegiate Sports at State
for several years. Now there is a
possibility of adding one more to
our “big three intercollegiates" in
the form of a varsity track team.
In order to make this addition,
however, some sort of interest has
to be shown; and, as far as I'm
concerned, the required interest is
not present at all
Seemed Inevitable
Track seemed inevitable when
sign-up sheets were put in the
group houses, The response was very
encouraging. Now, however, I'm
convinced that track will never
come to State. Two meetings were
called for the purpose of organizing
a Track Club. Such organization
would prove our interest to the Ath-
letic Association. Only five people
showed up at the first meeting
This poor showing was blamed on
insufficient publicity. As a_ result
publicity for the second meeting
was literally “poured on." A head-
lined article announcing this mect-
ing appeared in the News. The mect-
ing was announced in all Physical
Education classes. Also an an-
nouncement was placed on the
AM.LA, bulletin board. Therefore
a large turnout was expected. As a
result two people showed up. It w
very discouraging to sce a semester's
work apparently wasted. I am hop-
ing, however, that the interest has
not died, Another meeting will be
held on Tuesday, May 17, at 4 p.m.
An announcement will be placed in
the May 13 issue of the News, Please
attend this meeting and help to
prove we're really interested in bet-
tering the sports situation here at
State.

Two In Softball;
Potter Club, SLS Also Victorious
The glorious sun shone all week;
the almost perfect Spring weather
allowed the National loop of the
Intramural Softball League to get
in a full slate of games. The only
double winner of the week was Hill-
top which took two games rather
handily.
Last Wednesday Sayles outscored
the APAchies, 9-5, as they came up
with four big tallies in the sixth off
Matthews. The Saylesmen collected
13 hits, while the APAchies collect-
ed six off Tito Guglielmone. A home
run by Gerry Birr, and triples by
Alexander, Gilbert, and Bindrim
were the big blows of the game

of the game. SLS collected ten,
while Sayles had eight.
APAchies Scalped
Hilltop won their first of two
games as they scalped the APA-
chies, 18-5. The APAchies yelled
bloody murder as they saw twelve
Hilltoppers dent the plate in the
fifth. Lewis pitched for the losers,
while Gilmour handled the chor

Manthey and Smith. Hilltop had 20

State Suffers Shutout
In the opener Friday afternoon
the Statesmen were limited to three
singles with Sig Smith accounting
for two and Bob Dreher for one.
Oneonta stickmen bombarded three
State hurlers for 14 hits, Zidik
started the encounter and lasted
until the seventh when he needed
help from Joe McDowell. Caldwell
came in during the ninth to finish
the game. John Spunfelner went
the distance for Oneonta,
Peds Outhit New Paltz
‘The first half of Saturday's game
was a complete reversal of Friday's
pattern, At the end of 414 the Peds
led by a 9-3 count, Then the roof
caved in as New Paltz came up with
five big runs in the bottom half of
the frame, The final score was 11-9.
Sandy Bernstein had a pair of dou-
bles and a single, while Wayne Ov-
erton collected three singles, Sig
Smith led in the RBI department
with three on a pair of hits. Harvey
Clearwater who started the game
drove in two more to help his own
cause, McDowell was called in to
relieve Harvey in the fifth. Howle
Caldwell came over from third to
assist McDowell in the same inning
as Joe was awarded his bar of soap.
Hathawaymen Drop Third
Monday the Hathawaymen drop-
ped their third straight as Hart-
wick came up with one in the first,
two in the fourth, and one each in
the sixth and eighth. The Peds were
limited to three hits in the 5-2 loss
as Bill Schweitzer had control of
the ball game all the way. A hit
batsman, two of State's four costly
errors, and a safe blow by Serifs
spelled doom for State's hurler,
Tom Shumanski. Zidik appeared in
the fourth to relieve Tom.

Men-Women Ratio R
40th Honorary Body Ascends
Steps In Tense Page Ceremony
The ratio of men to women will remain the same on
the Senior Honorary Society next year. The women will
maintain their majority of eight, while the men will keep
their number at five.
After the classes have “moved up” to their new posi-
tion, and after “Arm in Arm” has been sung, the tradi-
tional tapping ceremony began. A hush fell upon the audi-
torium while the old Myskania filed into the second row
of seats in preparation for the tapping.
The first members of the out-going group to step
slowly forward were Robert Joseph Coan, President of Stu-
dent Association, who acted as the speaker and announced
the names of the new members, and Mary Joan Carlin,
Chairman of Myskania, who pinned the new members with
the purple and gold tassles which are the symbol of the
office.
MARY BREZNY was the first member of the 1955-56
Myskania to be chosen by tapping. Her name boomed out
as Robert Allen Sage and Olga Komanowski stopped in the
aisle beside her row in the assembly. Miss Brezny served
as SA Secretary in her Sophomore year and will serve as
Senior Class Vice-President.
Donna Kathleen Hughes and John Franklin Orser
were the second pair to leave the stage. Their slow walk
around the auditorium ended beside MARJORIE ANN
KELLEHER. Miss Kelleher served as Vice-President of the
Sophomore Class and President of the Junior Class. After
Miss Kelleher took her position on the stage, Zoe Ann
Laurie and Ann Christle Tobey tapped the first. male mem-
ber of the new Myskania, who was SIGMUND ARNOLD
SMITH. Smith was escorted to the stage and took his place
as the third member to look out on the sea of excited
and anxious faces. Smith was Vice-President of his class
this year and will be President of the incoming Senior
Class.
ROBERT FRANCIS BETSCHA, the newly clected Pres:
ident and former Vice-President of Student Association,
was the next to be tapped. Dolores Marie Montalbano and
Ronald Anthony Koster circled to the back of the audi-
torium before stopping beside Betscha and escorting him
to the stage.
The new director of Frosh Camp, SAMUEL JOHN
KRCHNIAK, was fifth to be tapped. Miss Komanowski, de-
scending once again from the stage, and Mary Arcangela
Iacavone brought Krchniak to the rostrum
As silence fell again, Charles Henry Beckwith and
Orser walked solemnly to the row where MARY JANE
FISHER, Chairman of State Fair this year was seated.
The seventh member to be added to the new Myskania
was JOSEPH RICHARD KELLY, tapped by Mary Lou
Battisti and Sage. Kelly has been active in his class and
in athletics, and will be Chairman of State College Ath-
letic Advisory Board next year.
After circiing twice, Miss Laurie and Koster broke the
suspense by tapping the fourth woman, JUDITH ANN
VIMMERSTEDT. Miss Vimmerstedt was active in
matics and has been President of Christian Science Or-
gainzation.
The ninth member tapped was THERESE KATHER-
INE BARBER. Miss Barber, escorted to the stage by Orser
and Miss Tobey, has been an active member of the State
College Debate team and has served on Student Council
As the atmosphere became more tense, with the sense
of competition becoming more keen, Miss Battisti and Miss
Montalbano descended into the hushed auditorium to tap
ALAN DONALD WEINER. A prominent entertainer at
State College, Weiner has been active in Student Govern-
ment as well as Dramatics.
LINDA LOU NILES was the sixth woman added to the
Myskania roster. Beckwith and Koster came from the rear
of the auditorium to pause as Coan called the name of
this year’s Student Association Songleader, who will oc-
cupy seat number eleven
After Miss Carlin presented Miss Niles with her Mys-
kania tassle and she joined the ranks of the new members,
Miss Iacavone and Sage descended into the tense audience
to escort JANE ANN LOMAN to the stage. Miss Loman
was Secretary of the Junior Class and will be the Co-Di-
rector of Women’s Frosh Camp next year.
The suspense reached its apex as Miss Hughes and
Miss Laurie circled the auditorium twice, carefully search-
ing for the last member to be eapnee AILEEN JANE
