Perretz, MacNamara Relate
Impressions of Meet,
Those Attending
Mary Jane MacNamara and Edgar
Perretz, seniors, attended the Amer-
fcan Youth congress which was
conducted in Washington, D. C. last
weekend.
The outstanding part of the
congress according to State's rep-
resentatives was meeting, among
the four thousand who attended,
People from all walks of life. There
were share-croppers, migratory
workers from California, college
students, even a representative from |
@ Cuban group. In all, there were
about sixty-three different groups
represented, Miss MacNamara urged
that people take all newspaper ac-
counts of red riots at the conference
with a-very large grain of salt. She
further stated that the meetings
were all very orderly and that any
disburbances were efficiently re-
moved.
Reosevelt Message
Several prominent personages were
guest speakers. Among these were
President Roosevelt and Mrs, Roose-
velt, John L, Lewis, and Attorney-
General Jackson. The President said
that the resolutions of the con-
ference were “twaddle” and that |
“youth should be informed before
taking a definite stand.” Later
Lewis answered points of the Roose-
velt speech, and then continued by
suggesting a union of the CIO and
the AFL. He even proposed that
the American Youth congress be-
come a part of the CIO. Said Per-|
retz, “This sounded very much as
if he were campaigning for pos-

1942 Will Have
Class Vic Party
Non-Date Policy to Prevail
at Leap Year Social
Tonight at Eight
The sophomore class, in accord-
ance with the plans formulated in
the last class meeting, will con-
duct its annual class party tonight
in the Commons of Hawley hall, |
from 8:00 until 12:00 o'clock, un-|
der the general chairmanship of|
Margot Duren, '42.
As was announced in the News
last week, whe party will run along
a leap-year theme which means
that for this evening the female
majority of the class will take over
the social initiative. Paul Merritt,
president of the class of 1942, has
requested that in view of the fact
that a two to one ratio of girls
to boys exists in the class no one
secure “dates” for the party.
Miss Duren has announced that
Roy Sommers, ‘42, “playwright” of
the sophomore class, has created
a skit for entertainment to reflect
the inversion of social procedure
theme. However, trouble has arisen
because several prospective female
thespians have balked after read-
ing the script. The last word, as
we go to press, is that Dorothea Mc-
Isaac and Harry Jordon have been
conscripted for the leading roles.
The program of entertainment will
be filled out by several types of}
such as checkers and se
irious forms of novelty dances
such as the “broom" dance. Decora-
tions will also follow the “fourth
year" idea- just how, has not yet
been divulged.
Merritt sa that because of the
wonderful class spirit so far shown |
by the class of he expects the
affair to be the best of its kind
this year.
Those in charge of the several
committees chosen are: arrange-
ments, Alfred Stiller; refreshments,
Ruth Vincent; and music, Robert
Meek.
Perretz Addresses
Forum of Politics|
Edgar Perretz, ‘40, spoke at the
last meeting of the Forum of Poll- |
tics concerning the American Youth
congress which he and Mary Jane
MacNamara, '40, attended two weeks
ago as representative of SCA. Miss
MacNamara was also scheduled to
speak to the forum, but was unable
to attend the meeting.
The purpose of the congress con-
ducted in Washington, as stated by|
Perretz, was to discuss the follow-
ing: employment, and all its prob-
lems; civil liberties, and possibilities
of maintaining peace
William McCracken, ‘40, intro-
duced two resolutions’ to find out
the sentiment of the forum members
on two current problems.

Hit at Prom While ‘Bea’ Dower Rules As Queen
by Carl Marotto ry
Well it’s over. The Prom, tea
dance, luncheon, and Christmas,
but the Queen still reigns, Now that
Queen Bea has become the sovereign,
the junior class drones will be trans-
formed into a hive of activity. But] |}
they did put over a successful dance. | k
Even the sophomores admit that
the class of ‘41 still has some of the]
old spirit left. The Junior Prom
went over, but surely. Was Eld-
ridge good? He was better! And|
the new queen—ah, the queen (sigh).
At exactly 11:30 o'clock, tall, state-
ly Queen Beatrice Ann Dower, of the
House of Honey, ascended the throne
and received the crown of empire],
from Her Majesty, Jane 1, who]!
wielded the sceptre over the junior |/
class last year. Then the populace
cheered, applauded, and marched to
be reviewed by the Queen who was
attended by Princesses Knowles,
Powell, Newell, and Scesny.
After the pompous “Pomp and
Circumstance,” and the grand march,
Eldridge and his boys proceeded
to swing out in a manner which
justified his reputation as a show-
man as well as a master swingster.
In true plumber style he swung the
low notes and he swung the high
notes—and then he swung! He
even put the class treasurer in a
truckin’ mood, and a band that can
do that must be good. He kept his
band going full swing except for the
second trumpet in the first row. The
Seniors to Open

Walter Harper, ‘40, president of
the senior cl: has appointed
Janice Friedman and Joseph Mc-
Keon, seniors, as co-chairmen of
of State college.
Each member of the class will be
tains for a pledge. In past
years the majority of pledges have
been for $100, but according to|
McKeon, “We are aiming at a 100%
pledging of the class of 1940 as
well as $100 pledges.” Subscriptions
may be paid in the manner most
convenient to the pledgor.
The financial goal has been set
at $200,000 since 1936, when the
first pledges were taken up, and has
been kept in a separate savings ac-
count. The goal as far as the bulld-
ing 1s concerned ts to have the cor-
nerstone laid by the year 1944, which
will mark the centennial of the ool-

unfortunate gentleman apparently
was in a high state of fatigue, for he
insisted on dozing off during the
course of the evening; but strangely

The activities office—Grand Central terminal
of State college. What would we do without it?
Where else could we snatch a quick smoke between
classes—waste time between classes—meet our
dance and luncheon dates—dance to a cracked
“vic” screeching “7:20 in the Books’?
Of course there is absolutely no need for a
minimum of noise in the activities office! No
one wants to work on the various activities located
in this office-let them do their work in the Com-
mons. Who wants to work for an activity any-
way? In State college thei

—there is no place for them in our preparation

We are firmly of the opinion that extra cur-

should be allowed to work in the activities office

‘We Go to College
Commentstater
(THE COMMENTSTATER is given the widest
latitude as author of this column, though the view-
points expressed do not necessarily reflect those of
the Stare Couizas News.)
We don't have winter carnivals. We don't have
both Glenn Gray and Tommy Dorsey for Junior
Prom. We don’t have football teams that crash the
front page of the Times Union or the Knickerbocker
News. We don't have football teams, period. We
don’t have the eyes of the nation turned on us every
June at Poughkeepsie. But, have you ever stopped
to think how well the student body stands behind
the extra-class activities we do have? Let's take
a gander about the campus,
We have a Women's Athletic association that is
strong enough to conceive the idea of a sleigh ride,
plan for, advertise and have the sleigh ride all on
the same day, with almost fifty girls present.
We have a Men's Athletic association that can
plan and sponsor an intramural basketball program
whien has aroused an interest among its pasti
pants, almost equal in intensity to that shown in
the inter-collegiate program.
We have a Student Christian association that has
five active commissions, each of which averages a
meeting every two weeks, We have Music and Dra-
matic and Art councils which attract many more
| freshmen each year than can be of service, so that
it has become necessary to set up a stringent try-
out program.
We have a college newspaper which had over
sixty student reporters this fall. We have a debate
group with so many active members, that, in spite
of a heavy schedule, most of them will have only
one opportunity to participate in a debate.
What is the cause of this extraordinary enthusiasm
for outside activities? We should like to believe it
lies in the intrinsic interest in such matters of the
individual student, but in all honesty we must admit
that such is not the case. The cause lies rather in
the fact that long experience in the field of teacher
training has shown that a few extra-class activities
look pretty good on a senior's appointment folder,
come to value this phase of this training.
++. * 4
Well, marks are out. The first semester has be-
come another unfinished but closed chapter in the
book of our education. Ideally, we would have time
to pick up the loose ends and go on to develop, to
some extent, the es of our past
courses. But that, i, is impossible in the
present system of ‘steamroller education; for, or
again, we're being introduced to new subject material
so rapidly that we can hardly assimilate it, without
taking time to do unrequired study,

Well, rolls around another week
bringing its “Prom” notes and leav-
jing its marks. Yep, we finally got
the inside dope and it wasn’t so
hard to take (?)—summer school
business takes a jump.
But enough of these generaliza-
tions, let's buckle down to some
“brass facts" about stuff about
State. Were you surprised when
you saw Gorgan with Stan at Prom?
—or Kluge and Denmark as a com-
bine? And “jive-cat” McCreary,
with that well-known gleam in his
eye, must have forgotten Jane for

Hellenics
The keynote of frats and soror-
ities this week is hell. Potter club
and Kappa Beta have sent their
pledges through hell and back in a
week. Sigma Lambda’s pledges
are still broiling in the fiery depths
while KDR’s fledglings will enter
the burning portals Monday. Hell
has certainly broken loose at State.
SLS will demonstrate what an
informal initiation is like to its
neophytes tonight. During the
week SLS frosh have been bedecked
in the latest Vogue fashion styles.
Yellow bows and wax hats are the
theme. (By the way, some of the
Jatest swing recordings can be found
on the heads of the SLS pledges
these days), According to rumor the
lads will welcome all first aid and
Red Cross contributions for tonight's
informal roundup. Tomorrow af-
ternoon the boys will be formally in-
ducted at the frat house. Follow-
ing that, everyone will adjourn to
Jack's restaurant for the annual
banquet, whence they will head for
a vic party at the SLS house. (Quite
a schedule—informal, formal, ban-
quet, and vic party—all in 24 hours.)
New Kappa Bet
Last week nine new members ac-
cepted the vows of KB. These lads
were Harold Feigenbaum, Ira Freed-
man, Arthur Flax, Leo Flax, Sol
Joseph Levin, Harry
Kensky, Max Levinson, and David
Bitman, all freshmen. Formal ban-
quet has been planned for March.
KDR commences its hell week
Monday. From the gleam in the
eye of John Bakay, pledge master,
there must be something hot ‘and
I do mean torrid) in store for the
frosh. Over the weekend, Fred Bow-
man, Clem Wolff, Frank Quattroc-
chi, Santi Porcino, and Joe Muggle-
ton, all of the class of ‘39, dropped
in,
EEP had open portals last week-
end for Leo Plante, ‘35, Ed
O'Hora, and Gordon Rand, of last
year. Newly inducted members at-
tended their first meeting Monday
night.
Feminine Frivolities
And now for the girls. Most of
the sororities have already sent their
pledges through pink petticoat in-
formal initiations.
The Kappa Deltas will have their
formal affair next Sunday. For
alumni notes we find that Jean

year’s seniors, were at the sorority
house recently. The engagement

HOPE TO AVENGE Loss
Contest Will Be Final Game
for Senior Members
of Varsity Team
State has its last Opportunity to
salvage something from a mediocre
season tomorrow night, when the
cagers face RPI's visiting aggre-
gation. The Engineers, traditional
foe of the Teachers, invade Page
with a record that has seen them
victorious in 8 out of 10 starts in
contrast to the home team's 4 out
of 11 record. However, this is the
one game of the year when State
fans can disregard past form and
expect to see the home quintet play
its head off in an effort to gain
the major prize of the hoop cam-
Paign,
The team has built up a terrific
will to win tomorrow. Just
the fact that RPI is the foe is
enough, but in addition the boys
vividly remember a 34-28 opening
Season loss that they are bent on
avenging. Besides that, five mem-
bers of the squad will be out there
hoping to end thelr basketball ca-
reers at State with a victory.
Home Court Edge
Because past performances rarely
mean anything between these two
foes, there is little sense in analyzing
respective records, Worth looking
at, neverthless, is the home court
domination that these two teams
have exerted over each other in
the past. RPI, as usual, has been
invincible against everyone on the
‘87 court, Thelr only two defeats
came at the hands of Stevens Tech
and Union; both were played away
from Troy, In fact, the “Oherry and
