Mike Mentions New Dorm Plans
Mid Mire, Muck and Machinery
“All right, you guys, let's get go-
ing on this job! We've got to get
this thing done before June.”
With a good-natured smile and
this caustic reminder, Mike Vignola,
contractor, pushed work on the new
men's dorm that !s going up opposite
the girls’ dormitory.
With a roar, the tractors and
steam shovels responded to Mike's
words, Tractors darted here and
there pushing trucks out of the
mire, hauling cords of lumber.
Since August 12, a peaceful field
has become the prey of hungry
steam shovels,
Work To Be Done By June
“Yup”, said Mike proudly, “we're
coming along fine. We've got a dead-
line to meet by June 1 and by heck,
we're going to meet It.”

Famous Actress Will Appear
In Program of Monologues
Thursday Night at 8:15
Dramatics and Arts Council will
initiate its new policy of bringing
famous artists to State College,
when it presents Cornelia Otis Skin-
ner, celebrated monologist, in Page
Hall, October 3 at 8:15 P, M.
State College students will see
Miss Skinner in such monologues as
“Motoring in the Nineties", “siome-
| work", the satire “Being Presented”,
and the grim drama of “Lynch
Party", or “Hotel Porch”.
Miss Skinner, coming from a fam-
ily of actors, was meant for the
stage at the outset, After studying
jat Bryn Mawr and at the Sorbonne
in Paris, she made her professional
debut with her father in Ibanez’s
“Blood and Sand", Other roles in
j other plays followed,

| But dissatisfied with this type of
|acting, Miss Skinner turned to the
character sketch and originated her
Modern Monologues, which form the
| basis of her career, Her success was
instantaneous, In the course of a
few years, her tours included such
famous European capitals as Lon-
don, Paris, and Rome, She has play-
ed four successful engagements in
the British capital,
The ambitious Miss Skinner, seek.

sequences of related scenes which

drama in eleven scenes, runs as long
as a three-act play. In this sketch
she used scenery for the first time.
The talented American actress ap-
peared this summer at the Mohawk

tation was well received by an en-

Mental Stagnation
The Commentstate-———_
Life at State is rather pleasant. We don’t work too
hard except during exams. We dance, smoke, and
even drink, We chatter, we gossip, we romp up to
Beverwyck or out to the front campus. We play in
the gym and we sing in the auditorium. Outside of
books, classes, and bad moods our life is light. Some
of us enjoy the books and classes, and some of us
wouldn’t part with our moods. Most of the time, the
faculty is good, life is good, and all is good. How-
ever, sometimes one isn’t quite so sure about the good-
| ness of it all. Sometimes after a “bull session” one
wonders.
Here we are at State. We have been called over
and over again “the cream.” We have been lauded for
our intelligence, flattered for our ability.
ltgnorance Yet, despite so much intelligence, how
of many of us read a newspaper daily?
Politics How many of us are well informed
| enough to discuss unemotionally the
consequences of a Hitler victory? How many of us
can discuss intelligently why we prefer Willkie? How
many of us can distinguish between the philosophies
of Willkie and Roosevelt? Above all, how many of us
| give three hoots one way or the other
We don’t as a group care to be well-informed. We
|vote Republican because our parents do. We bring
| with us from our middle class backgrounds a distaste,
even a dread for the unconventional. Many of us con-
sider an occasional beer or two immoral.
| We label as “queer” and ostracize those who differ
| with the multitude. Boys with challenging ideas have
| all too often in the past been compelled to flee to the
| locker room and become “soap boxers” or “locker room
reds” in order to secure some kind of an audience.
We scoff much too readily at those with opinions we
do not share.
| Our fraternities go out for the tall, blond boys, with
|
|
|
blue eyes. If a boy doesn’t fit this
standard pattern he must have some
compensating physical quality. The
sororities, in bidding girls, follow the
same general logic. “Be dumb but
is the best advice a freshman can follow if he

| It is extremely tragic that in two days of Freshman
camp a frosh can make a bad reputation that will
the basis of anticipated advertising revenues.”
It is useless to rehash the arguments favoring
directory advertising. The fact remains that
more than any other student publication — the
Directory is State’s BEST advertising medium. ‘To
finance it, only one hundred and fifty dollars is |
needed, |
Possibly a Directory advertising campaign might
have had an adverse effect on similar campaigns by
the News, Statesman, and Pedagogue.
Directory might well have supplanted the “
of the blotter boys,
Tt has been customary for a group of State males
to publish a blotter early in the fall. A more lucra-
tive part-time job has yet to be discovered, 1a
year, four ambitious gentlemen made over one hun-
dred dollars—the approximate cost of the 1939
Directory—in such a venture, ‘The new Directory
Board was to have been appointed not later than
last March 15, Its work should have been com-
pleted in the spring, before the blotter boys yot
busy. Now October approaches—and still no blot-
ter? What happened to the $150-§200 worth of
advertising usually secured for the blotter? Why
won't it appear in the 1940 Directory?
This year, State students returned
to Albany (o find the birth of a new
policy under Drama ies and Arts
Council: the policy of bringing cele-
brated artists before Page Hall au-
diences, The first step in this direc-
tion was the announcement of the
appearance of Cornelia Otis Skinner,
the famed monologist, at Page Hall
next week. If this is a sample of
what is to come throughout the
year, then surely we may look for-
ward to a successful and enjoyable
season on the college stage, D & A

will be conducted Monday on the

P. M. All tax-paying members of
the Student Association are eligible
to vote in this election.
Voting last week was unusually

Monday's final test, The actual re-
sult will be withheld until the cere-
mony of cornation on Campus Day,
October 19.
This marks the first year that
more than five candidates have been
nominated for the regal honor, A
two way tie made this necessary. As
customary, the correalation between
the Prom Queen nominees and Cam-
pus Queen nominees was very high.
