Frosh To Meet
Myskania Thurs.
In Loop Contest
“Thursday at 4:30 in the Page
Hall gym the Myskania Marauders
will meet the “Blue Jays” of ’60 in
@ fast and furious game of basket~
ball. This match is a result of the
challenge issued by Myskania to the
frosh, Friday, February 1.
The game will mark the first time
that the frosh basketball team has
officially played together. The
game will, of course, be closely
watched by many ‘49ers to see just
exactly how the frosh team stands
up. This will be the first test of
their ability to play as a team and
should be a fair sample of what
they'll be able to do against the
Red Devils.
The Marauders have a fighting
forward line with “Tuck-up” Tes-
sier, “Rangy” Randall and “Burn-
up Court” Bently as first string.
Margot, and Hilt have proven their
prowess as guards, in many past
games, and “Swivel-hip” Sweeney
will add that bit of spark that Coach
Combs is confident will carry the
marauders to glorious victory. Al-
verson, Hutchinson and Telian will
sub, in order listed, if and when any
of their peppy team-mates become
“unpeppy.”
Diehl and Quinn, frosh managers,
have announced that the frosh are
shaping up very well. There is no
definite line-up for the frosh as yet
but among those to see action will
be Koch, Matteson, Smith, Henkel,
Freel Vallentino, Adams, Hotaling,
and Dubert.

STATE COLLEGE NEWS,
FRIDAY, MARCH 14, 1947
Thine The Hand...
Dr. John M. Sayles retires from position as Presi-
dent of State College.” Just a few short words end-
ing a great man’s great work as State’s number one
personage.
To we, the present students of State, Dr. Sayles
is as much a part of our college as Minerva her-
self. And there have been times in the past when
we have wished he were just as passive as our god-
dess of wisdom—the day the summons arrived for
the lecture on assembly cuts, the days he poked
his head in the P. O, door and announced his dis-
approval at the littered untidiness, but his fairness
and his trick of turning a desperate dilemna into a
hearty laugh prompted a feeling of respect and
affection in all the students he encountered,
And while “Who’s Who” records lofty deeds of
his instigating I'd courses and winning Phi Beta
Kappa keys, we will remember his poking about
in his pet shrubs and the surprise we experienced
the first time he looked up and remarked about
that, “sharp jacket you're wearing.”
His years of experience as Principal of Milne
acquainted him only too well with practice teacher
blues and the Milne High maladies that infect our
Senior students, and the special brand of under-
standing which he administered along with that
extra pinch of humor, always eased the burden,
Dr. Sayles used as his theme song, his own varia-
tion of the familiar adage, “I’m no chaplain; don't
tell me your troubles.” His variation—"I'm no
chaplain, but tell me your troubles anyway.”
State has lost a good President but we're sure
she hasn't lost a great friend. You know where
the key is, Dr. Sayles, drop in often, won't you?”
Congratulations . . .
From the paint smeared floor in the Annex to
the actors’ echoes in Page, A.D. has fought a win-
ning battle to regain its former place of import-
ance on campus.
Among the first of the war casualties to return
to State, A. D. started its year off with a zest and
managed to retain the pace down to the last Tues-
day. Thanks for many enjoyable evenings go to
the participating students and also to Miss Futterer
for her excellent job of guiding. The props and
costume committees deserve a special hand for
the magic manner in which they transferred. the
same old equipment into new features each week,
Congratulations, A.D., on a good job well done,

Finale
By ASHWORTH
Burlap had its night, to good ef-
fect, last Tuesday when Advanced
Dramatics closed its successful sea-
son of one-act plays with the pre-
sentation of a “contrast in trage-
dies.”
Miss Telian is to be complimented
for attempting so difficult a pro-
duction as the St. John-Salome af-
fair, That she did not succeed com-
pletely was not entirely her fault.
The play itself is a dangerously
wordy one and far too long to hold
the interest of the audience. It
dragged, especially during the scene
preceeding the decapitation. If Miss
Telian had been less sparing with
the scissors, perhaps the play would
have been less tedious,
Orchids to production committee
The lighting and the make-up
were adequate; the costumes were
terrific! We seldom mention out-
right the members of that hard-
working class known as “produc-
tion committee,” but we feel that
this is a special case. So, we are
proud to award the orchid of the
week to Lois Fillamn who did such
@ wonderful job on the costumes,
with only the odds and ends in the
costume-room to work with,
The set was rather unfortunate,
Why is it that our stage crews al-
Ways construct such summetrical
masonry?
About the cast . .
Miss Felton gave a polished per-
formance. We liked her gestures
and the way she used her body. We
feel, however, that she was not
wicked enough to be the immoral
Salome. She did not reach the
heights demanded by the part,
Miss Hilt was miscast, She was
not the hard, incestuous woman who
was the Queen. Her voice was not
husky enough to sound “sluttish,”
Common-Stater
and BARSELOU,
a fact which incidentally applies
also to Miss Felton,
Mr. Chase has improved tremen-
dously since his debut last fall, His
character was not consistent, though
he had his good moments.
Mr. Snow was adequate though
he lacked the fervor demanded by
the part, We feel that he didn’t be-
lieve what he was saying.
The supporting cast was fair, We
wish someone would tell that guard
that “ridiculous” is not pronounced
“ridickelus”!
High-spots of the play: Salome’s
dance and the business with the
gruesome head.
Appreciate Contrast
Perhaps it was the contrast which
made it so, but we were unusually
impressed with the terseness of the
closizg production. To begin with
Miss Jones’ impressionistic set was
simple and yet aided greatly in giv-
ing meaning to the action.
The cast was, on the whole, good.
We liked especially the work of

The Common-Stater is given the widest latitude as
author of this column, although his viewpoints do not
necessarily reflect those of the State College News,
One of the biggest events of the week was the com-
bination of the recall of the Russian ambassadors
from London and Washington, almost at the same
time as President Truman asked Congress to grant
$4 million for arms and supplies for Greece and
Turkey.
This evoked a wild rumor about the lower halls
and a hasty check into the files to see if Beeyes
can still enlist in grade. The current drive for re-
servists in all branches is also worthy of conjecture.
The request by the president is no doubt an an-
swer to the “get tough with Russia” sentiment voiced
by many. While the implications, of this, especially,
may cause a lot of sad shaking of heads, in the
long run it seems desirable. The spread must be
stopped somewhere, and the Near East appears the
opporutne palce, And it's far wiser to stem the tide
with dollars than dead.

At the Plattsburg conference last week-end, our
representatives ran into a startling reality, Albany
State Teachers College is not the only “State.” Altho
the largest, most complete and finest, we must give
our little brothers and sisters their due. For purpose:
of clarity and economy, let’s call Albany “State,’
and the other state colleges by name. Exchanges please

We spent a good part of Wednesday at the legisla-
tive chambers. The Assembly convened at 2:00 P.M.,,
for the purpose of considering the Condon-Wadlin
“Anti-American” bill, receded until 4 after taking
note of the full house present, went into caucus until
6, adjourned until 8, and spent the remainder of the
night discussing serious topics, the Condon-Waldin
Bill not being included. We recommend that every-
one spent a few hours at the sessions to observe our
law-making bodies in action. The privilege is guar-
anteed by the State Constitution, and there's “al
ways a good show at the Capitol.”
Congratulations are due to Inter-Sorority Council

ideal form, the context of the story appearing on
the first page is definitely a step towards bringing
sorority rushing rules to a point of satisfaction. The
only rule governing frat rushing is that rushees can.
not be promised a bid from a fraternity man, The
complete lack of gripes in fraternity circles is some-
thing to be noted by the sororities, Or is the silent
period a form of punishment inflicted upon the
usually loquacious feminine element?
Although it’s frowned upon in many of the best
circles, we'll climb out on a limb, saw in hand, and
predict the score of the Myskania-Frosh tilt which
took place yesterday. (We go to press Wed midnight)
Myskania, complaining of lack of practice, and a
speedy Frosh team should bring on the final whistle
with the latter hugging a 42-17 lead.
A letter to the editor in this issue brings to light

of note. Much of what is said about the Commons
can be applied to other parts of the college build-
ings, but it shall be interesting to note which of the
administrative agencies of our student body does

State Colleges
Plan Syndicate
Of Newspapers
At an Intercollegiate Press Con-
ference at Plattsburg State Teach-
ers' College last weekend, plans were
made for the organization of a col-
legiate newspaper syndicate to be
called, “The State Teachers’ College
Exchange.” This press conference
was part of the Intra-College Con-
ference at which eleven teachers’
colleges were represented,
The delegates at the conference
decided that a system of exchange
should be formulated so that all
the state teachers’ colleges may be
aware of what the others are doing
and so that state colleges may be-
come more closely-knit,
Plan Syndicated Column
The proposed plan is that an in-
tercollegiate column be adopted by
each college as a regular feature in
their publications. The material for
Dorm Residents
For Next Year *.
To Apply Now.
All under-graduates who plan to
live in the Residence Halls next
year must obtain their application
blanks, contracts, and information
blanks from Mrs, Bertha E. Brim-
mer, Secretary of the Alumni Asso-
ciation, from March 17-21 inclusive.
These contracts are to be filled out
and returned by April 16,
Any student in the college may
2 apply for a room with the excep-
js tions of the following:
Graduate
students, unless they are on the
staff in some capacity, and Seniors
who plan to graduate in January.
According to Mrs, Brimmer, the lat-
ter will not be given rooms because
there are freshmen who will take
these rooms for the full year.
Th contracts will not be valid un-
less the deposit has been paid, but
the $10 from last year is transfer-
able,
The rules of the previous years
¢ still in force, mainly that no de-
posits will be refunded unless a stu-
dent has been dropped from the
college, or after a year of attend-
nee. After March 21 applica-
tion forms will not be given out to
students in college.
All checks should be made pay-
able to the Treasurer of the Benev-
olent Association, the amount again
being $218 for the semester,
Stinard, Former State Teacher, Gives
Illustrated Talk On
Mr. Jesse Stinard, a former Pro-
fessor of Spanish at Stace College,
spoke at a meeting of Pan Amigo:
the Spanish Club, list Tuesday.
During the first part of the evening
he showed slides of Mexico while
commenting on them in’ Spanish,
and qtter While refreshments were
served everyone reverted to English
+ Mr, Sunard discussed inform-
ally his experiences as a teacher in
the Philippines.
Mexico and Mr.

Stinard’s commentary
particularly the exotic beauty of
Mexico and the con’ between
ancient and modern culture, Mr
Suinard showed views of the re-
mains of the ancient Mayan ceivil-
ization with its grandeur and
beauty. ‘These people had built py-
ramids larger than those in Egypt
and huge temples tor the worship
of their gods. In complete contrast
were the slides of modern Mexico

modern means of Uransportation,
Another contrast’ was shown be-
tween the people living in the mod-

ern cities and in touch with cur-
rent affairs, and the country peon
living much the way his ancestors
did. Mr, Stinard mentioned the
fact that they do their farming in
practically the same manner de-
scribed in the Bible with the farm-
cr rolling sleepily along with his
plow and r of oxen unmindful of
modern progress. Country women
do their laundry by the side of the
stream and for that matter even
travellers in the country are forced
to follow suit
Tt was at first very difficult, Mr
Suinard suid, to teach English, and
the instructors had to go through
Wl sorts of contortions to get their
meaning over. An example which
he relates was his attempt to ex-
plain the meaning of ice to the
children of the tropics. He fumbled
around for a while and then said,
Tn my country it gets so cold that
the water gets hard and that's ice.”
One of the litte boys turned to
the other and said in Filipino, “Ah,

little boy's progress.
this column would be compiled by
one or two appointed members of
the individual college staffs and the
most interesting news from each
college would be sent to the editor
of the exchange. The Editor-in-
Chief for the coming year is Larry
Northram, of Potsdam State Teach-
ers’ College. In future years the
editors will rotate among the vari-
ous schools,
To Feature Polls
One of the features of the column
will be student polls which will be
tabulated and published from the
11 colleges. The first poll to be
taken will be, “Do you think that
professional groups should strike to
gain their demands?” This poll
will be taken in the near future
among members of the present Sen-
jor class,
Immediate Duties
The immediate duties of the col-
leges who are to adopt the program
are to name two delegates to the
syndicate, to suggest possible names
for such a column of intercollegiate
news, and to conduct the poll as
soon ‘as possible,

American Association of School
Administrators & Allied Organiza-
tions at Atlantic City last week, The

cation and the Development of Hu-
man and Natural Resources.”
Discussions at the four-day con-
ference were devoted mainly to the
educational problems facing educa-
tors today, federal education aid,
rural education, the improvement
of buildings, teacher shortage, cur-
ricula and training of good teachers.
State Traits of Good Teacher
Paul A. Witty, Northwestern Uni-
versity, in his talk to the National
Society of College Teachers of Edu-
cation, stated that in a recent sur-
vey conducted among pupils con-
cerning what children like in their
teachers, it was discovered that the
following were the most common
traits in the order of their popular-
ity, cooperative, democratic att-
tude, kindliness and consideration
for the individual, patience, wide
interests, personal appearance and
pleasing manner, fairness and im-
partiality, sense of humor, good dis-

colleges which was held at Platts-
burg last Friday through Sunday,
State College was represented by
Ruth Bentley, President of Student
Association, Philip Lashinsky, Sen-
s, and Alice Williams, '48, Miss
Bentley was elected Secretary of

of their discussions were problems
of student government and social
activities, the teacher salary bills, a
cut system, financing of athletics,
budget systems in the schools, hous-
ing, and a collegiate syndicate of
newspapers.
Favor Young-Milmoe Bill
All of the delegates presiding at
the conference collaborated on a tel-
egram in favor of the Young-Mil-
moe bill for state aid and sent the
message to Governor Dewey,
State College extended an invi-
tation for the conference to be
held in Albany next year and un-
less the plans are changed, the
group will meet here next year,
To Appoint Director
One other decision of the dele-
gales at the conference was for
each college to appoint a Director
of Inter-Collegiate Relations in or-
der to carry on the correspondence
and other business,

Stote Becomes ‘'Superior”
At Plattsburgh Conference
Of course, we here in Albany
realize the superiority of our
Alma Mater, but after the con-
ference that was held in Platts-
burg last week, I’m sure the
other State Colleges in New York
do, too.
The reasoning behind this
statement is easily understood.
You see, every time one of our
loyal representatives wished to
refer to the school that had sent
him, he would merely say State.
The fact that the conference was
only for State Colleges didn’t
bother these students in the
least. However, it soon became
the standard “joke” of the other
delegates, and in this way we
became known as the “superior
State.”
Gee, aren’t you glad that we
sent such wise members of our
student body to the meeting and
aren’t you glad you go to State?
State To Debate

State wlil meet Cornell University

Dear Editor:
Something very serious has been
happening during the last few
weeks. Things have been disappear-

am the only person who has the

taking these articles through the
slots in the top of the boxes.
All I can say is that it is pretty
low when someone steals things
from the Lost and Found depart-

who sees students around these box-
