STATE COLLEGE NEWS, FRIDAY, MARCH 80, 1942
lihedy Will be Guest Speaker
At Annual MAA Dinner Tonight
Varsity, I-M Awards
Will be Presented
Matthew (Pat) Kennedy will be
it speaker at the annual MAA
Banguet to be held tonight at 6:30
in the dining room of Sayles Hall.
Kennedy is at present the out-
standing referee in the country. A
recent issue of the Saturday Hve-
hing Post dedicated several pages
to the acrobatic stunts, whistle
blasts, and oversized lungs of this
arbi “Kennedy,” the article
states, “in full cry, is a phenomenon
of unrestrained sound and fury.”
It continues, “He is the most ex-
Plosive, apoplectic and colorful ref-
eree who ever tooted a whistle.
No. 1 Referee
Not only is Kennedy noted for
his perpetual-motion action on the
court, but he is also a very capable
arbiter, He calls them close and
calls them right, and when he
does, everyone present hears and
sees that a foul is called, It is this
showmanship quality plus his cap-
ability that make Pat Kennedy
No, 1 referee in the land.
His popularity to both spectators
and players has made Kennedy a
fixture at the Madison Square Gar-
den, Moreover, he is the only ref-
eree who was ever publicized as
part of the double-feature billings
at the Garden.
In announcing that Dr, William
Hartley was to be toastmaster at
the banquet, Owen Bombard, '43,
chairman of the affair, says that “in
Kennedy and Hartley we have two
people who certainly have excellent
knowledge of showmanship.”
Awards Will Be Made
Numerous awards will be made
at the banquet. Varsity basketball
men will receive letters and two-
“year men will be rewarded with gold
ketballs, Sweaters will be pre-
sented to co-captains Hank Brau-
ner and Bill Dickson by Coach Hat-
field who will also announce next
year’s basketball captain, There will
also be an award for the best
athlete and for the person showing
the best sportsmanship in intra-
mural sports,
Presentation of a key to the presi-
dent of Intramural Council, Regis
Hammond, will head the intramural
awards, This will be followed by
awarding the basketball trophy to
College House and a plaque to the
bowling champs, Potter Club. Jim
Gillan will receive a trophy for
high individual in bowling, and Al
Stiller will receive the ping-pong
trophy he won last fall, Frosh num-
erals and a key to the 45 manager
will also be awarded.
Following the banquet all the
members of the Men's Athletic Asso-
elation are invited by the women of
Pierce Hall to an open house in the
Ingle room,

Basketball Victory Gives
‘44 Three Rivalry Points
The Sophs gained three points in
rivalry by wresting a victory from
@ frosh team in a roughly fought
contest Wednesday. The final score
of 15-10 doesn’t begin to describe
the fierce battle put up by both
teams,
The game started with swift
passes intercepted every other min-
ute by the guards. Valente, Tischler,
and Sanderson worked so efficiently
that the freshmen forwards had the
ball most of the first half. Giavelli
and Smith accounted for a basket;
and the half ended with the frosh
leading by a point, 5-4, LaSalle made
the four sophomore points,
Close guarding in the second half
kept the score low, but frequent pile
ups provided thrills for the specta-
tors. Glavelli gained three more
points for the frosh and another
basket by LaSalle and a foul shot
by Pickert tied the score up at 8-8
at the close of the third quarter.
During the last quarter, the pass-
ing of the soph forwards speeded up;
Domann broke the tie with an
underhand toss. Giavelli came back
for the frosh with a shot from the
corner. In the next few minutes,
Pickert’s foul shots and Breunig's
basket gave the sophs a five point
lead. Simmons, Dann and Latimer
smothered the ball until the final
whistle and victory.

Brauner to Organize
State Racquet-wielders
With the drying up of the mud
following Easter vacation, the twang
of the racquets of the State College
tennis team will once more resound
on the Ridgefield courts,
Captain Henry Brauner plans to
start practicing in the gym imme-
diately following Easter vacation,
As yet only three positions on the
team have definitely been taken, by
Hank Brauner, Newt Kensky and
Fran Mullin, Three positions re-
main wide open for those aspiring
“racqueteering” fame,
A ten-game schedule has been set
up for the tennis team, The sextet
will play two matches with RPI,
Siena, Cortland Normal, and Platts-
burg Normal, One match will be
played with Brooklyn Poly and
Clarkson. Of these, five will be
home games.
Due to the shortening of the
school term, the tennis season will
open either April 23 with a home
game or April 24 at RPI, This
leaves a relatively short time for
the squad to get in shape. There-
fore those interested must sign up
on the MAA bulletin board on Mon-
day, Tuesday, and Wednesday of
next week,

CARL MITCHELL
Sports may be dying in the Ameri-
can college set-up but here at State
there seems to be a general revival
of athletics as a big weekend is
flashed on the blackout shades.
This afternoon we have a benefit
game for the American Red Cross
between the Myskania Mystery Men
and the State Faculty (mystery—
hidden muscles). Another unique
contest will take place when the
campus teachers will be given a
chance to take it out-on their Milne
proteges on the High School varsity
need it be said there’s bound to
be blood . . . and not transfusions!
Also in the athletic roundup is
the annual MAA Banquet that
will take place tonight. Color-
ful Pat Kennedy has been sched-
uled to speak. We take our toupes
off to Bill Dickson, Owen Bombard,
and the other members of MAA
Council who are responsible for
getting such a top-ranking speak-
er for the event,
Despite the unprecedented selec-
tion of “fish-day” we heartily ex-
pound the cause and urge all sport:
men to be there when the starting
gun is fired... “commence eating”!
The saddest news of the day Is
the flash that powerful LIU suf-
fered defeat at the hands of the
University of West Virginia, after
leading 25-16 at half time. We
still think Claire Bee is great.
Another upset that occurred in
the National Invitation Tourna-
ment at the Garden in New York
was the defeat of West Texas
State Teachers (the tallest team
in the country) by Creighton
University, 59-58. Pat Kennedy
officiated, incidentally.
Tidbits in Sports
The women are certainly taking
the spotlight in rivalry. The basket-
ball games are attracting large audi-
ences—and they actually cheer for
their teams!
Recruiting is not done by the
armed forces alone . . . Virginia
Mosschak has found it necessary to
draft a certain male on Tuesday
afternoons to engage in badminton
in order to get gym credit .. . lucky
guy, we say.
Now that students are marked
absent if they are tardy to class,
there seems to be a good chance for
cross-country returning to State.
Herb Lenneker, prefatory general-
jaing columnist, continues to make
cracks at the sports department. He
is very confident, for . . . and we
quote , “you can't find anything
wrong with me.”—unquote!

College House Champs;
Beat Potter Club 31-19
College House came back strong
to win the third and deciding game
of their play-off with Potter Club
for the intramural basketball cham-
pionship by a 31 to 19 score.
It was all College House in the
first quarter as they took a com-
manding 10-0 lead. Potter Club
could not shake a man loose against
the opposition’s zone defense.
The height of Ruback and Wise
gave College House possession of the
ball on nearly every jump-ball or re-
bound from the basket. Ruback’s
14 points was high for the game.

WAA Inter-House Bowling League.
Alpha Epsilon's team did not bowl
but forfeited the match, The Phi

Win Jones, captain, plans to have
league bowling completed this week.
A cup will be awarded to the win-

Where are all the girls of State
College going tomorrow night?
That’s right, to the WAA Spring
Sports Spree. At eight o'clock the
gym will be set for an evening of
fun and entertainment.
For the first hour, the girls can
amuse themselves with games and
contests. Basketball, volley ball,
badminton, and ping-pong will be
set up to insure everyone some-
thing to do, The general chairman,
Leda LaSalle, promises that the bas-
ketball and volley ball will be plenty
strenuous for those who want to
play hard, and that ping-pong and
badminton will be exciting, but less
wearing.
Fencing and Dancing
The fencing class will exhibit
thelr skill in a demonstration of
the results of their Saturday morn-
ing lessons. The modern dance
group has guaranteed a program of
the latest modern dances which will
be amusing as well as instructive.
They intend to show us rhythmic
coordination if they're not too stiff
from practicing.
The bowling cup will be awarded
to the team having the highest
number of points in the six game
tournament. Psi Gam and Gamma
Kap still have one game each to
play, but unless they are tied, the
winner will be announced Saturday
night,
Remember the skit of a Camp
Johnston week-end at the WAA tea?
At the Spring Sports Spree there
will be another skit, just as much
fun as the last one.
Refreshments Too
Folk dancing will highlight the
evening with the usual hilarity and
exhaustion. But the girls will not
go home tired and hungry, because
refreshments are also on the pro-
gram.
Kit Herdman and Win Jones have
charge of arrangements, Vee Leigh
and Teddy Jay, entertainment, and
Lois Dann refreshments. All these
people guarantee a super evening.

HousingEstimate
For Next Year
Miss Sara 'T. DeLaney, Dean of
Women, has requested that those
students who plan to reside in a
cooperative house next year return
their applications to her office not
Jater than April 11. Students who,
upon signing an application, find it
necessary to withdraw from the col-
lege must inform the Dean of their
intention not later than August 15
if they wish their deposit to be re-
funded,
No definite price for cost of group-
house living has been formulated at
the present time due to the effect
of the war on student enrollment
and living expenses, The Dean
asserted, however, that the costs
will be kept as low as possible so
that group-house living will be
approximately $100 cheaper than
residence at the dorm,
Students, therefore, will not be
asked to sign contracts with a group
house until more definite informa-
tion may be obtained to enable the
students to state their choice.
Last fall the house which Juni-
Pers occupied was sold, but since
Junipers had signed a lease, evacua-
tion was postponed until next fall,
The Dean announced that Junipers
will rent another house sometime
during August. Here again, this
cannot be accomplished until the
number of prospective residences
can be determined from applica-
tions of upperclassmen and from
the incoming class to determine the
size for adequate accommodation.
There will be no change, however,
in the type of work or the average
number of hours required of those
living in group houses, The Dean
requested that those who are plan-
ning to file an application for the
first time be acquainted with these
facts. The students will be asked
to contribute an average of one hour
of work per day, though the dis-
tribution of working hours differ:
Those who wish information con-
cerning cooperative houses are urged
to consult the Dean and, if possible,
visit each residence hall to gain an
insight on group-living in the col-
lege.
Cooper Completes Work
For Philosophy Degree
Dr, Edward Cooper, Instructor in
Commerce, has recently completed
the requirements for his Doctor of
Philosophy degree at Northwestern
University. Dr. Cooper received
his Bachelor of Science degree in
Education at the Whitewater State
Teacher's College, and his Master
of Arts degree at the University of
Iowa. Dr. Cooper will receive his
doctorate at the Northwestern Uri-
versity graduation this June.
It Will Only Lead to Bloodshed
It We Doed It — Or If We Don’t
“It's an all-out charity dance for
victory—so let's show our hearts are
really in it by wearing defense
stamps instead of corsages.” ‘That's
of the pro-stamp-corsagers,
are a luxury, unnecessary
to the welfare of dancers—in fact
they even “get In the way” some-
limes, Stamps would be much more
wearable! And as for the cheapness
of flowers—well, a penny saved is
a penny for the government's de-
fense program, and pennies make
dollars and dollars make war.
Beauty lost? No, a girl shouldn't
need flowers to help her out. (And
if she's beyond help, not even tlow-
ers will do any good), Furthermore
why stay in the rut our grand-
mothers were in? Start something
new and different—and useful!
Another thing — you can find
green defense stamps. So, plant
the flowers in your garden and pick
‘em for the county fair—but don't
wear 'em to State's formals,
Maybe they're not patriotic or
maybe it’s just that they're more
practical, But, anyway, as the anti-
stamp-corsagers have it, “if you
really want to help the nation save,
why not save on something big and
worthwhile? Why spend from one
to three hundred dollars on an
orchestra and then, save a few
dollars on flowers. The real McCoy
in patriotism would be the abolition
of an orchestra.”
Of cou there's also the point
of beauty be considered—men like
their dates to blossom forth at
formals in a way that only flowers
can provide, And the dresses which
need that extra touch—what about
them? If it’s not a corsage, it’s got
to be jewelry. Either way costs
money,
“So, let's not go fanatically silly
over the stamp-corsage idea,” the
opponents warn. “Anyhow, you can’t
stop nature's production (of flow-
ers) just for the war—and the army
doesn’t need 'em, yet.”

Forum Presents
War Discussion
‘Town Meeting’ Answers
Complaints and Queries
“State College Looks at the War"
was the subject of the discussion
held in assembly today, Sponsored
by the Forum and modeled on the
Town Meeting of the Air, it was led
by Fred Ferris, '42, chairman, with
the help of Nicholas Morsillo, '42,
announcer,
The first part of the program
consisted of four short speeches, two
by faculty members and two by
students, Dr. Robert Rienow, As-
sistant Professor of Social Studies,
Bave the political aspects of the
war and the war aims; Dr, Louis
©. Jones, Instructor in English,
spoke of the actual conduct of the
war; Herbert Leneker, '43, showed
what we, at State College, are do-
ing to help toward victory; and
Rhona Ryan, '44, gave ideas about
what could be done,
These talks were followed by
questions among the speakers them-
selves and questions presented to
the speakers by members of the
student body.
The Forum felt that there have
been many complaints and mum-
blings among State College students
who have either felt that they were
wrongly accused of complacency or
felt that State College was not en-
lirely behind the war efforts. “The
idea of this meeting,” said Fred
Ferris, president of the Forum, “was
to clean the linen and find out the
facts." He added that the Forum
has held discussions similar to this
all year on Tuesday afternoons and
would hold more in the future,
Hartley to Show Films
At Chem Club Social
Dr. William Hartley, Assistant
Professor of Education, will reel off
three General Electric sound films
in color, at the Chemistry Club
social next Thursday evening at
7:30 in Room 260, Huested Hall,
Janet Dixon, '42, vice-president of
the club, is general chairman for
the event.
One of the films which Dr, Hart-
y will present treats the discoy-
of and recent developments
with the electronic microscope;
another is entided “Curves of
Light", and is about the refraction
of color and light. The third film,
‘Science vs. Magic", explains the
difference between the scientist's
and the magician's approach to
problems. Science attempts to make
baffling things simple, but magic
attempts to make simple things
baffling,
Robert Wesselman, ‘43, will dem-
onstrate developments in the field
of tone photography; two comical
skits are the offering of sopho-
mores Adele Lewis and Alan Stone.
The evening will wind up with games
and refreshments under the direc-
tion of Frances Graceffo, '42,
According to General Chairman,
Richmond Young, Soiree-goers have
4 southern cruise in store for them
from 10 P, M, to 2 A, M. amidst
the nautical atmosphere of the
Aurania Club, Through the courtes;
of the Albany Yacht Olub, life pre-
servers and 300-Ib, anchors will lend
an authentic note to the atmos-
phere. Besides this, the meager war
budget allotted for decorations. will
carry the idea of 8. 8, Soiree still
further, Hannelore Schoen y
“The Sophs really have shown loads
of ingenuity for doing so much with
so little money,”
Sweethearts to be Chosen
Shortly after midnight, Red Car-
ino and drummer will choose the
Sweethearts of Soiree from
all the couples present. The Sweet-
hearts are to receive awards as in-
dications of their attractiveness and
dancing ability. This is only the
second year that this idea has been
used. Previously the chaperones se-
lected “The Typical Twosome.”
William Marsland of the music
committee predicts huge success for
Carino's 9-piece band. The orches-
tra was extremely popular at both
Russell Sage and Union.
To fit in with the war sacrifice
spirit of the dance, the campaign
for war stamp corsages started be-
fore Junior Prom is being continued.
Trece Aney and Rhona Ryan, in-
augurators of the idea, urge all
girls to wear corsages composed
either completely or Partially of
war stamps,
Fun, War Saving Combined
“Despite the fact that this is
State's first war-time Soiree, it ia
setting a precedent for other dances
combining both fun and war sav-
ing," says Young.
The sale of bids which started
Wednesday will continue until 4
P. M. today in the lower hall of
Draper. Bids may also be purchased
at the Aurania Club.
Chaperones for the dance are: Dr,
J. Allan Hicks, Professor of Edu-
cation, and Dr, Donnal V. Smith,
Professor of Social Studies,

‘Lest We Forget’
Keep out of the rut, State College! With
the busiest season of the college year coming
up, it is a natural thing for students to lose
sight of the major issues of the day. Elec-
tions, Moving-Up Day, finals, and graduation
tend to capture interest and enthusiasm. In
normal times, such events automatically and
rightly take first place. But this is 1942, We
are students in a nation at war. There are
extra demands on our time, our energies, our
minds.
Under the guidance of the War Activities
Council, State Students have entered whole-
heartedly into a program keyed to the spirit
of today. In the victory classes, covering
nearly every phase of war work, there is a
high percentage of students enrolled. At
two points within the college, war-savings
stamps and bonds are on sale, State College
is geared to a war-time way of life.
It was a relatively simple step to shift to
an altered method of operation. It would be
equally simple to fall back into the old sys-
tem, where the student’s world is bound by
the college campus and its activities. And
this is the very thing that we at State must
avoid.
Despite college budgets and nominations,
the world is still in a state of conflict, War
activities go on, requiring the same amount
of support and effort, With Sophomore Soiree
slated for tonight, the victory stamp corsage
again makes its bid for support. The idea, in-
troduced at Junior Prom, was far from suc-
cessful. Students either were too reluctant
to give up the conventional flowers or re-
garded the campaign as a “freak” stunt.
Neither attitude has a place in a nation at
war. If we aren’t ready to give up the little
things, how will we react when big sacri-
fices are in order?
Other colleges are taking life seriously.
One college eliminated flowers at one of i
formals and bought five hundred dollars
worth of war savings stamps. Many
schools, too, have started blood banks, the
students giving a pint of their blood, and
thus establishing a life-saving reservoir. A
few State students have done likewise at the
Albany Hospital; there is no reason why
others cannot donate their blood to a worthy
cause, State has done well, but it can do
better.
The motto of the day is still “All out for
Victory,” The war fronts of the world are
still blackened by shot, shell, and falling
bombs, Let's not belittle our part in the con-
flict. We DO have a definite part, and a
working program whereby we can make our
efforts to the best advantage. Let’s not fail
in carrying it out.
“Shes the saving type
War Fronts
by Feigenbaum
‘The Japanese have definitely by-passed Australia and are concen-
trating their efforts on a two-headed drive on India. They are attempt-
ing to drive through British and Chinese lines in Central Burma to
reach the eastern provinces of India where a large Japanese fifth-
column was recently uncovered. Hoping to completely demoralize the
conference between Sir Stafford Cripps and the Indian leaders, the
Japs launched an attack against the island of Ceylon off the south-
eastern tip of India. But Ceylon was ready for them, and in the matter
of four days they shot down 137 Jap planes and sunk 20 Jap ships.
This means that the rising sun had set for approximately 30,000
Japanese soldiers.
Outnumbered 20 to 1, pounded unceasingly by enemy planes, and
facing a foe who is driving ahead regardless of losses, General Wain-
wright’s small army on the Bataan Peninsula was defeated. Wainwright
arriving at Corregidor, radioed the War Department that Bataan was
lost. Corregidor will still fight on.
Activity on the Russian front has come to a virtual standstill caused
by the spring thaw which brings bottomless mud bogs. However, gigantic
air battles are taking place all along the front, and these should last for
about two more weeks, after which both armies are expected to open up
with everything they have. This is the crucial battle of the war.
The Germans had concentrated strong naval units in Norwegian ports
in order to cut the allied supply route to the Russian port of Murmansk,
and they attempted to destroy the port itself with heavy air bombings.
British, American, and Russian naval and air units defeated all Nazi
attacks,
The British are finally on the offensive on the Western front. British
Commando units attacked the Norwegian ports of Trondheim and
Narvik. But the most devastating attack was on the French port of
St. Nazaire which the Germans had been using as a submarine base.
The British destroyed the docks, installations, and most important they
destroyed the locks which make the port useless until they are repaired.

Do you want somebody to work
for you, entertain you, answer a
problem for you? Don’t look any
farther then, the Sophomore class
can supply the person. The class
which has broken all traditions at
State holds on to one ideal—the
members stick together and are
very proud of the outstanding per-
sonalities in the class. When they
start to talk about the kids who do
things and set paces for the rest
of the school they're pretty sure to
mention these
Pat Carroll, who manages to do
everything weil, and efficiently. A
swell President with the complete
respect of the class, And luscious
Pat Latimer and Kay Doran who
uphold the standards of beauty for
the class. Brown-eyed Georgia Har-
desty, who sees that the class gets
publicity quietly and faithfully; the
very feminine athletes, Mary’ Do-
mann and Kit Herdman. And Rich
Young and Bob Combs see that
the men hold their own in State,
and very wel 00!
Perhaps you're looking for stu-
dents who will work night after
night on @ paper or activity with
faithfulness and energy? Take your
choice among these: Busy, beautiful
Baxter, the sophisticate of the P.O.
who writes well besides, and irre:
pressible Skolsky, always there if
you need him, Aney, good in the
drama and literary field, anxious to
help in any new activity which will
help State, Aungst, who dances like
a dream, and conceals an enviable
business head behind those spark-
ling eyes, and Serablan, and Shay,
always working, never wanting
credit, but gaining the respect of
the whole school in their modest
way. Plus Stengel and “Gravel”,
who are right on the ball all the
time. And don’t forget the acid-
tongued Kiley, or that swell guy,
Ray Verrey, who works like a demon
for any class function, and Fred
Beyer too. The whole activity office
gang is a swell one.
If you're looking for artistic talent
stop right here. There's Honey
Schoen, bubbling over with puns
and quips and fun, writing skits and
planning entertainments, and the
glamorous Studebaker, probably the
most competent actress in the class
and unexcelled in pantomime, Then
Soderlind and White and Ashworth,
McFeeley and Snow can handle any
sort of a part pretty magnificently.
And no one can overlook the in-
comparable Barselou who steals
whole plays from the best actors
at State.
In music we have Snow, who
saved the day by learning his part
for “Pinafore” in one day last year,
and knows his classics inside out,
and his pal, Marshall,
As for studies, well, there's Wiros-
loff who makes Dean's list from
force of habit, Dick Delts, Wil-
liams, Fisher, Baird, and a host of
others who make classes a pleasure
for the faculty,
And for glamour, oh boy, just
count them off—Sovik, Lichtwart,
Latimer, Studebaker, Hardesty, Bax-
ter .. . practically everyone in the
class deserves a mention for that.
It's a temptation not to mention
everyone in the class, since every
member has done something to de-
serve praise, but I'll just have to
trail off, murmuring, “What @ class,
what @ class!”

The Corsage Question
Buy a flower for the girl's hair, and buy stamps
for the gown (arranged perhaps in V shape). Thus
two birds, or better Japs, will be eliminated with 3
stone. Your girl will still enjoy the flattering, fragr
addition of a flower in her hair, and will wear as well
a V of victory stamps—to help others who won't be
able to be dancing in the security we now enjoy.
We've got to remember that any purchase of
stamps helps to ward off the not impossible horror
of an allied defeat. After all, this war is more serious

alluded to as rushing

elty, but one of the higher ship officers left the deck. Warm in here,
isn’t it ? 3
MAY 16, 1941: Remained in port only for day visit. In need of
repairs, refueling and the like. Chose Maid Carroll captain for sec-
ond term (senatorial courtesy, also garconial courtesy). Changed
first mate though. Seaman Latimer offered better position on
S.S. Association. Found Seaman Young to take her place. (A

SOPHOMORE
Ship ahoy, ye landlubbers ! Naughtily—we mean nautically—speaking,
frosh camp broke the champagne bottle of welcome over the bow of the
S.S. ’44; and thus the Sophomore class embarked upon its maiden voyage.
And it was a maiden voyage in more ways than one, when Maid Carroll
took the helm to steer straight to the port of Rivalry Victory.
The voyage was long and rough according to the ship’s log as
kept by Kay Doran. On thumbing through the pages, we recalled
some of the thrills on the high C’s of State.
NOVEMBER 10, 1940: A storm has been brewing all
day. It finally broke tonight on the top deck of Draper when
enemy ship S.S. 43 drew up along portside and tried to
take wind out of our sails. A hardy battle ensued and
we were surrounded. The Myskania life-saving crew,
however, hauled in the sails, but the yellow tide rose
to greater heights.
JANUARY 15, 1941: Today the decks of
gym were swabbed in good order by and with
the crew. The decks shone brilliantly despite
the fact that the mops used were 43 years
old. Seaman Kit Herdman was in charge
of the clean-up job.
MAY 9, 1941: Rumors all week
of a stowaway on board ship. Crew
have been keeping a lookout. To
night Seaman Hank Ruback,
lounging in the fo’castle found
the dear little stranger. Crew
adopted it.

BARTON MUMAW, pictured
STATE COLLEGE NEWS, FRIDAY, APRIL 10,
in his brilliant dance, the
“Banner Bearer.” One of the fine American dancers, he will
give a recital here April 15 in
Page Hall Auditorium.
Mumaw to Give
Dancing Recital
Formerly Chief Soloist
With Shawn Company
Barton Mumaw, for seven years
the principal soloist for Ted Shawn
and his company, who toured the
United States, England, Canada,
and Cuba, and who is now con-
sidered one of the best dancers in
America, will be presented by the
Dramatics and Art Association in
Page Hall Auditorium, Wednesday
evening, April 15, at 8:30 P. M.
Most of the dances that Barton
Mumaw will perform at his recital
show his intense happiness in danc-
ing and a thorough relish of pre-
cision and emphasis in rhythm and
of the dramatic emotion of the
moment. One by way of contrast
has stark tragedy for its theme, that
most immediate tragedy of the de-
struction of beautiful cities with
which the whole world is now pre-
occupied. This dance is Mumaw's
Pierrot in the Dead City.
Story of Pierrot
For hundreds of years Europe
has been building beautiful cities.
For as many years a legend has
grown up in them of a mythical
character called Pierrot, who is
the spirit of romantic life and love,
the central character of many a
ballet and pantomime. Mumaw
portrays Pierrot returning to the
city in search of a lost sweetheart,
but finds the city dead, destroyed,
empty of life.
‘The program has a wide range of
material based on the dance arts
of ancient and primitive peoples.
These dances partly reflect the in-
fluence of Ted Shawn who collected
such materials among the Indians
in America, among the gypsies in
Spain, and’ in the islands of the
Pacific.
Authentic Costumes
Many of the details in Mumaw's
costumes are of authentic origin. In
The Mongolian Archer he wears a
pair of Chinese shoes, thickly soled
and as cumbersome as peasant
wooden shoes. Another costume
detail of particular interest is the
nine-yard banner used by the dancer
in his Banner Bearer (pictured
above) which is based on the tra-
ditional ceremony opening the
Olympic Games.
Student tickets may be obtained
in exchange for student tax tickets.
Reserve seats are $1.10.
Panel Discussion Slated

Slavin Prophesies Victory
With Trouser Cuffs’ Exit
They weren't bombed, they
weren't rationed, and they didn’t
shrink —Slavin’s pants. Nope,
they just came in for their share
of Slavin’s private campaign for
victory.
You see, one day Dave was
sitting on a pile of newspapers,
stacked in the midst of the
tooth-paste tubes in his room.
Suddenly, over the air waves,
came a booming voice, “You
can help win the war—especial-
ly if you're five feet one and
a half (in stocking feet) with
red hair and a big vocabulary
—decuff those pants!!”
Slavin pulled off his gas-
mask and scratched his head.
He remembered Valley Forge,
the Maine, the Alamo, and even
Pearl Harbor. “Mon Dieu,”
parley-vooed Dave, “I will do
it!” Whereupon the patriotic
*43er took out his wooded scis-
sors (the steel ones had to go
in the last salvage) and snipped
off his trouser cuffs amid a
cloud of dust. So, whenever you
see two blue pillars approach-
ing, don’t think you're in Dover
—it's only Dave who hasn't yet
got around to substituting de-
fense stamps for his cuffs.
Who Will Be Next?—
by the Sophomore Desk Editors
(Rditors’ Note: The following is an expression of opint
ion and does
not necessarily reflect the views of the State Coutzcs News. The informa-
tion therein was correct at the time of printing).
When State College voters visit
the Commons balcony on Tuesday,
April 14, they must remember that
just as it is important that the
nation have an efficient war-time
administration, so is it necessary for
the welfare of the college to select
capable leaders.
A singular maneuver was made
on Wednesday when Thomas Fee-
ney, a formidable contender for
President of Student Association,
withdrew his name from the list of
candidates. He now plans to run
for President of the class as a “third
term” candidate. Howard Lynch is
a newcomer to loom on the political
horizon. Not a politician, he, how-
ever, is well-known as a reliable
committee worker. His popularity
has alded him in attaining the pres-
idency of Potter Club for next year.
Still, if Potter fails to withdraw Re-
gis Hammond, the Club’s vote may
be split, and Lynch will undoubtedly
be defeated. All this seems to in-
dicate the swing to Vanas on the
political pendulum. Aside from the
support of the loyal SLS fraternity
he is also backed by a powerful
College House combination.
‘There seem to be many conflicting
opinions concerning the Vice-Pres-
idency, which may ultimately result
in a political upset, Pat Latimer,
the only woman candidate, is bene-
fited by political experience. Vice-
President of the class in her fresh-
man year, she then gained the key
position of secretary of Student As-
sociation. Her most powerful op-
ponent was found in Bob Combs,
who withdrew in favor of @ try for
class president. The possibilities of
Fred Beyer and Hal Ashworth are
deemed equal; both are backed by
their fraternities, and will be aided
by their likeable personalities and
large feminine following.
As for the Secretaryship, Fran
Mullin will doubtlessly afford strong
competition, since he is backed by
the powerful Potter Club, and aided
by the expected division in women’s
votes. Martha Sprenger was a cap-
able and popular songleader and
may offset the excess feminine can-
didates.

Faculty Bows to Amazing Sophomore Aggregation
By Jeanette Shay
“If you don’t pat yourself on the
back, nobody else will.” This say-
ing may apply to some people, but
its author never met the Sophomore
class of State College. The mem-
bers of the class of '44 don’t have
to pat themselves on the back, for
their admiring teachers realize how
modest they are and do it for them.
Dr. Hartley, when approached by
a News reporter and asked to ex-
press his opinion of said class,
opened his class book and upon
perusing its revealing pages, re-
marked, “My principal objection to
the Sophomores is that they are
such a unique group that I find it
difficult to find anyone to give C's
to, I have to give all A’s and B's,
However, I have found them ex-
tremely generous, especially the
boys who gave me a red bow tile
for Christmas. As far as the girls
are concerned, their pulchritude is
only excelled by their keen intellect,
wit, and charm of personality.”
Although the commerce teachers
holding sway on third floor Draper,
have encountered only a small pro-
portion of the class, they have very
Positive impressions of the group
they have met. “The Sophomores
seem to be very peppy,” said Miss
Avery. “From my very limited con-
tact with them,” stated Mr. Cooper,
“I am of course impressed by their
general appearance and the diligent
effort displayed in their class work.”
Even Mr. Gemmell, the latest ad-
dition to the commerce faculty, ap-
preciates the superiority of the
Sophomore class, He sald, “My
three months at State College have
not all been spent in orientation. In
fact, I have been conducting a bit
of research ‘as it ‘twere,’ comparing
the intelligence and ingenuity of
college Sophomores with that of
high-school Sophomores, and, con-
trary to educational fact and popu-
lar belief, the college Sophs are just
mite quicker on the downbeat!”
A lot is heard about the lack of
men at State but according to Miss
Futterer the class of '44 does not
suffer from such a deficiency, En-
thustastic in her praise of the soph-
omores, she declared, “I think it’s
a swanky class, I could have made
two Advanced Dramatics classes
this year, I've actually had to strug-
gle over my choice. What’s more
I'm going to have some men.” Miss
Hopkins labeled the Sophomores as
dependable and resourceful, She
even went so far as to say, “The
Sophomores are the best workers in
my stagecraft group.”
Dr. Croasdale, who does not see
many Sophomores this year says
she remembers them from last year
as “the most dynamic, stimulating,
and up-and-coming crowd—a chal-
lenge to any teacher!"
Maybe it's a compliment, maybe
not, but Dr, Rienow says he can't
distinguish between the Sophomores,
Juniors, and Seniors. At least it
shows that the freshmen has
worn off. Of the class ‘of ). Dr.
Rienow said, “Any class with three
more years ahead in troubled times
ign
(and shift while they approach it).”
Although Dr. D, V, Smith says
that he “always liked Sophomores
anyway,” he agreed that this Sopho-
more class is a little better than
Penn “especially in the talking
ine.”
To avold the possibility of some
freshman’s thinking the above arti-
cle is colored by prejudice on the
part of the writer, a few of Dr.
Jones’ quotations are included. He
describes the Sophomores as “a
charmingly daft gang of brilliant
madmen” and “lovable idiots.”
“The beauty of the men” said he,
“is only surpassed by the brilliance
of the women,”
Mademoiselle Conducts Poll
In a nation-wide poll conducted
by Mademoiselle, 25 women from
this college were selected at random
to state their preference in campus
styles. Some of the questions asked
concerned the type and color of
sweaters preferred, the style and
color of shoes customarily worn,
and an estimate of the price paid
for both articles. Results of the poll
will be published in the college is-
sue of the magazine in August.

STATE COLLEGE NEWS, FRIDAY, APRIL 10, 1948
by Verrey and Oar
¢ the Sophs have undoubt-
been the outstanding sports-
“men this year, it 1s considered
* fitting that at this time the out-
standing Soph athletes should pass
in review.
With the opening of the intra-
mural football season on our return
to school last fall the Sophs im-
mediately showed up as the bulwark
of several squads. Red Evan's
spectacular runs were sure ground
gainers for EEP, while Bob Comb’s
passing and Rich Young's receiving
were constant scoring threats.
The Ramblers were held together
by our Bert Kiley, who both played
and coached. Now and then Bill
Marsland snared a pass from Ray
Verrey to score for KDR. A team
composed of this unique combina-
tion walloped the frosh gridders
13-12,
Forty-four's power was also
shown ai they powled re the fresh-
men in push ball 18-10,
At about the same time the Soph
girls under the leadership of Mary
Domann and Kit Herdman gar-
nered two out of three points in
the girls’ obstacle races to lengthen
the Soph rivalry lead to 7-1.
Sophs in Basketball
Varsity basketball was also de-
pendant on. several Sophomores.
Bill Marsland was invariably in there
under the basket, taking rebounds
time and again. Set shots were
“Robin” Comb’s specialty as he
netted many points for the Alma
Mater, Two of the most spirited
boys on the whole squad were Rich
Young and Bill Miller, inspirations
to any team,
The varsity's loss was College
House's gain in the person of Hank
Ruback, '44, Hank was definitely
the most vulnerable scorer of the
intramural league, as he took indi-
vidual high scoring honors easily.
He was aided by Clarence Oarr and
Henry Wise, both Sophomores, in
leading College House to the top
of the league,
Red Evans, Charlie Capel, Hal
Ashworth, Avrom Koblenz, Bert
Kiley, Fred Beyer, and Paul O'Leary
were all Sophomore “finds” for
their respective intramural basket-
ball teams. The squad composed ot
these men walked over the fresh-
men hopefuls 38-33,
Females Shine Also
The female “yellow devils," com-
posed of Kit Herdman, Mary Do-
mann, Leda LaSalle, Marge Breunig.
and Jane Pickert, forwards, and Pat
Latimer, Dot Simmons, Lois Dann,
and Dot Townsend, guards, defeated
the crimson tide in two out of three
contests to add three more rivalry
points,
And if you think the women of
'44 are sissies, you should see Pat
Carroll and Teddy Jay fence!
The only two ‘44ers out for tennis,
Bill Marsland and Bernard Bern-
hardt, are bound to be a great help
to State’s prime spring sport,
The opening of the softball sea-
son will see the usual athletic Sophs
standing out for their group teams,
Thelr ability to defeat the fresh-
man softballers can only be told
by time,
With the rivalry score at 16'4-
3% the Sophs look ahead with con-
fidence to thel chances of repeat-
ing thelr former athletic predom-
inance over the frosh,
Men’s Ping Pong Tournament
The men's annual ping-pong
tournament is well under way, two
matches having been completed at
present, The difficulty In finding a
time when all four men may be able
to play is the main reason why more
matches have not been played,
The winners of those completed
are Cooke and Toepfer, and Bart
man and Bittman.
Dorm A Unbeaten
In Girls’ League
Newman Drops One,
Draws Second Place
The girls’ basketball league ended
wednesday afternoon with Dorm
A on top by virtue of defeating
Western Hall, 14-4. Due to the
shooting of Herdman, Henessy, La-
Salle and Domann and the very
effective guarding of Latimer and
Sanderson, this team ends the sea-
son with the honor of being unde-
feated, Pickert took care of the
scoring for Western.
The second game was decidedly
one-sided, Newman Hall defeating
Dorm © by the topheavy score of
17-0, Garfall and Giavelli_ ended
the season in top form. Giavelli
rang up 9 of Newman's points and
Garfall ran a close second with 8.
The bottom rungs will have to do
without Newman Hall for this year
as they ended in second place with
only one loss against them,

Varsity Tennis To
Take Spotlight
In State Spring Sport Parade
With the first match of . State
College's 1942 tennis campaign less
than three weeks away, Captain
Hank Brauner sent 23 candidates
for the squad through indoor prac-
tice sessions on Tuesday and Thurs-
day in preparation for cutting the
group to workable size. Brauner
and Harry Kensky, the only veter-
ans returning, and newcomer Fran
Mullin, who showed class in the
frosh tournament last fall, form the
nucleus around which Hank plans to
build the team that will go after
State's first undefeated season in
history.
Of the 20 men fighting for the
remaining four berths on the seven-
man team, the top-ranking six after
about a week of stiff workouts will
be placed in ladder competition
along with Brauner, Kensky, and
Mullin for selecting the occupants
of the remaining open places,
Saturday will see the hopefuls
holding their first outdoor session
of the year at Ridgefield Park. The
first cut will be made Friday morn-
ing. Ridgefield will be the home
courts of the Statemen.
The ten-game schedule, which
opens here against Plattsburg on
April 23, includes a long-sought
home game with RPI. The latter
comes up with almost the same
powerful squad which shackled the
local jueteers twice last year, and
in Captain Brauner’s opinion, the
Poly team, of the known quantities,
oe the major threat to an
unbeaten year.
Siena aa Cortland, though no
soft touches, should, Hank thinks,
be made to fall in line. No informa-
tion has been obtained concerning
the material at Plattsburg, Clark-
son, or Brooklyn Polytechnic Insti-
tute, all State tennis rivals this year
for the first time.
New with the tennis team is the
problem of transportation for away
games, Captain Brauner indicated
that he intends to ask further aid
of MAA to meet the situation. In
previous years the netmen travelled
with the baseball squad to play
games on enemy courts, Baseball
has been dropped for the season,
This is the twenty-fifth anniver-
sary of intercollegiate tennis at
SCT.
The schedule:
April 23—Plattsburg.
April 24—*R,P.I.
May 1—Cortland
May 2—*Plattsburg
May 4—Hartwick

of Harley Dingman as the Sergeant
of Police accompanied by a chorus
of police.
Famous Melody
A well-known tune featured in
the operetta is When A Foeman
Bears His Steel again featuring
Dingman and his colleagues, Few

Tread Upon Our Prey We Steal.

Representatives of Organizations
Resolve to Maintain $14 Tax Ticket
Next year’s student tax will remain at $14, as Provided in a tentative
budget, formulated last Tuesday at a meeting of the representatives from
different extra-curricular organizations,
The purpose of this meeting was
to cut the appropriations to an absolute minimum and to set the price of
the student tax as low as possible, despite the rise in costs of many items
included in the budget.
Students to Pay One Dollar
For This Year's Pedagogue
Dear students... do you want a
lingering memory of your carefree
college days? If so, save your dimes;
save your nickels for the 1942 Peda-
gogue will make its appearance on
Moving-up Day, May 9, Instead of
the usual $.50 charge of previous
years, this year's publication will
cast student tax holders $1.00. This
increase is the result of the in-
creased production costs and de-
creased student enrollment at State,
Shirley Kyle, '42, editor-in-chief
of the Pedagogue, declined to reveal
the theme of the book, saying, “It is
traditional that the theme of the
Pedagogue not be revealed until
Moving-up Day."
Juniors trying out for next year's
Ped board have to plan several
pages of a model yearbook,
