Campus Gets Barracks
In the fall of 1918, the Student
Army Training Corps was first intro-
duced to the college, Under the sup-
ervision of the federal government,
@ training camp was established on
the campus in which students who
were attending the college could at
the same time receive military train-
ing. A barracks and a mess hall were
built on the spot where the Milne
School and Page Hall now stand.
At that time, there were about 110
men in the college. Of them, ninety-
one passed their physical exams and
were admitted into the SATC, All
the men left as the News, which
wrote in an editorial commenting on
the formation of the SATO:
“.,, there is but one course for the
young civilian to take. He should

Wendell L, Willkie was elected
President of the United States last
week in the straw vote conducted.
by the Srava Couecn News.
Willkie polled 48.8% of the votes
cast for the candidates of the major
parties. Franklin D, Roosevelt was
given 45.9% of the votes that were
cast, Of the students of the college
who voted, 53.6% put themselves
down as opposed to the third term,
and 46.4% stated that they did not
object to it.
In the same straw vote, Bruce
Barton, Republican candidate for
United States Senator from New
York, defeated his Democratic rival,
James Mead, 301 to 246,

The vote this year is in keeping
with the tradition that State College
is always Republican in its politics,
Only twice in all the polls that have
been taken at State since 1924 has
a Democratic candidate been elected
by the student body. State students
have elected Republicans to the
presidency in 1924, 1928, and 1932,
Polls were conducted at State in the
“off” years to determine the winners
of the gubernatorial elections, and
only once have State students failed
to elect a Republican to the gover-
norship,
In 1924, the State voters predicted
that Calvin Coolidge would be
elected to the presidency, and that
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt would
be made governor, Both these men
were Republican candidates, Al-
though Coolidge was elected to the
presidency, Colonel Roosevelt was
defeated by Al Smith. In 1926, State
predicted that Ogden Mills (Repub-
lican) would be elected over Al
Smith, Smith was reelected Goy-

down to the Ten Eyck Hotel on

The scene will be the ballroom of
the Ten Eyck. This is especially ap-
propriate as the ballroom has been
recently redecorated in red and

The selection of Harder Downing
from a large number of available
orchestras was an extremely diffi-
cult choice of the music committee.
The orchestra, which is very well
known, played this summer at
Sylvan Beach, the Playground of
Central New York. “Danceland” the
recently renovated dance pavilion at
the beach, has been hiring top-

tige, among these being Paul White-

Student Guess Correct
publicans again, Picking Herbert
In the gubernatorial elections, State
In 1936, the student body guessed
correctly in the presidential election,
picking Roosevelt over Landon by a
415 to 401 vote. The fact is notable,
however, that although State picked
Roosevelt to win by a bare plur-
ality, in the national elections of
that year Roosevelt won by an un-
precedentedly large one.
Two facts are readily apparent:
the fact that State 1s traditionally
Republican, and that elections at
State must be viewed in a more
normal political coloring before they
can be interpreted, On this basis,
and on the evidence afforded by
the past votes, it would seem that
the Willkie victory with such a
close margin could well indicate a
Roosevelt victory in November in
New York State and consequently
in the nation, This conclusion is ar-
rived at through the observation
that State straw votes have almost
invariably acted as negative baro-
meters in state elections.
Roosevelt in 1936
In 1936, State gave the election to
Roosevelt over Landon, 415 votes
to 401. The figures returned by the
electorate made Roosevelt president
by a plurality of about 16,000,000
votes. Thus it would seem that
State’s action in electing Willkie over
Roosevelt, 282 to 265, can be inter-
preted as forecasting a Roosevelt
Plurality of about 8,000,000 votes in
November.

Thursday Debate
Engineers for Willkie,
Back Choice of State
For once State and RPI agree
—they both prefer elephants to
donkeys, For RPI has also named
Willkie as its choice in the com-
ing Presidential election.
Yet at RPI Willkie was the
favorite by a 3-1 majority, while
at State he topped the race by
only 17 votes. This indicates that
although both institutions are
traditionally Republican, the
Democrats at State have a much
larger minority. Also this would
seem to indicate that the Engin-
eers are more conservative than
State students,

When the procession reached tue

it Business Meeting
The class of '44 will have its first
opportunity to witness a business
meeting of the Student Association
in assembly this morning.
Time permitting, at least two re-
solutions will be introduced, The
first concerns an Orientation pro-
gram for freshmen, and the second
will concern elections.
The publication last week of the
results of the Hirsh-Kunz election
has revived the issue which was
brought up in assembly last year—
the issue concerning the publication
of the numerical results of all elec-
tions.
On the trail of a story, the roving
reporter accosted all the people
whose names were published last
week together with the votes that
each had received.
“What do you think about pub-
lishing the results?” all were asked,
one by one,
Hirsh said, “I like the idea, It's
good to know by how many you
win or lose—even if you win by as
little as I did.”
Kunz's answer was, “Publish
them, by all means, I feel better
now that I know that I didn’t lose
by much, than I would if I didn’t
know by how many votes I had lost,”
Ryerson answered, “Sure, you
ought to publish them, It never hurt
anyone to know right where he
stands whenever he runs for office.”
Cox replied, “Certainly you ought
to publish the results. The student
body has a right to know how sts
votes were cast,”
Novelli told us, “I'm very much in
favor of publishing the reports, Dis-
paid.

body can't win an election, and most
people never run anyway.”
Ritchie laughingly answered, “If
anyone in the school would be op-
posed to the publication of the re-
sults, I imagine that I'm the one,
T'm in favor of it, though, It’s good
democratic procedure. I vote yes.”
This set of answers convinced the
reporter that the candidates in this
election at least. were very much in
favor of having the results of elec-
tions posted,
It is curious to note that State
is one of the few colleges in the
country which keeps its election re-
sults secret,
Last year, Mary Jane McKay,
president of NSFA, told the Nuws
that the great majority of American
colleges make a practice of posting
the numerical results of all elec-
tions in the college. Miss McKay
wrote in part:
“The practice of posting the re-
sults of elections in colleges has been
borrowed, I suppose, from our civic
life where all election results are
posted for the public to see, I should
think that the normal curiosity of
your student body would demand
that they be ‘in on the know!
».++ In @ highly democratic proce-
dure, there does not seem to be
much point in keeping election re-
turns secret,”
