Eagles

To Meet Niagara

In Page Hall Gym Tonight

New York TripResults
In Losses To Pratt
And Brooklyn Poly

Eagle will be pitted against Eagle
tonight when State meets the Pur-
le Eagles of Niagara University on

e Page court,

‘Niagara's squad boasts nine vet-
erans, four of these have played
varsity ball for three years. Coach
Gallagher's Eagles are drawing near
to the end of a very successful
twenty-two game schedule and
seem headed for another Little
‘Three title in Western New York.

Niagara Powerful

State fans will remember two of
Niagara's latest victims, St. Law-
rence University and Clarkson Tech.
Last weekend these teams suc-
cumbed to the Purple Eagles by
scores of 50-30 and 56-37 respec-
tively. State has lost two games to
Clarkson and split a pair with St.
Lawrence this year.

‘The last time State played Ni-
agara was during the 1939-40 season
when State's Eagles won a thrilling
61-50 victory. Some of the boys who
played with the Niagara team in
that game will be back tonight.
Co-captains William Owens and
James Sheridan are two of these,

State Drops Two

The State basketeers made a dis-
astrous trip to the big city over the
past weekend, The team lost to
Brooklyn Poly on Friday night by a
score of 44 to 29 and repeated its
performance Saturday night by los-
ing to Pratt Institute, 68-48,

‘The Albany boys were unable to
accustom themselves to the baskets
and steadily fell behind the fast
Brooklyn team. Walsh, one of
Poly’s fastest men, led the scoring
with twelve points. Heffernan di-
rected the floor-play and contrib-
uted seven points for the winners,

Pratt Has Height

Pratt's helght advantage and su-
perlor physical condition won the
game Saturday. The scores at the
ends of the quarters tell almost the
whole story. At the. quarter it was
12-12, at the half it was 23-23, at
the three-quarter mark it was 40-
35, at the final whistle it was 58-48.
Brauner’s 14 points, Feeney'’s 10
points, and Marsland’s 9 points led
the State attack.

First Place Battle
Looms Between
Potter Club, CH

SLS Bows to Ramblers;
Removed from Loop Race

The race for the championship of
the Intramural Basketball League
has developed into a battle between
College House and Potter Club.
Both squads are tied for top posi-
tion, at this writing, with eight wins
against a lone defeat.

‘Last week Sigma Lambda Sigma
was removed from a_ probable
chance at first position when it
dropped a close 16-15 decision to
the unpredictable Ramblers, Hal
Singer swished in a neat two pointer
with thirty seconds remaining, to
give the commuters the lead and
the game,

Potter Swamps TM

Potter Club walloped the Thomas
More lads to return to the winning
column and go into a tle for first
place with College House,

After being held back for the first
quarter, the EEP lads opened up an
unrelenting attack which culmi-
nated with the final whistle. The
score was 48-10, Ed Reed topped

In contrast to this one-sided
game, the KDR-SLS contest was a
close affair throughout. Sigma

Jordan dropped in a basket in the
last fifteen seconds. Fred Beyer
contributed 14 points to the lost
cause of the Lake Street squad.

With the exception of Potter Club
moving up to tie College House for

the other teams of the loop re-

the previous week.

Lucky Varsity Men Visit

‘Aunt Glenda’ In New York

“Shake the hand that shook
the hand of Glenda Farrell—
only a quarter.”

Investigation at the source of
the following statement reveal-
ed how some of the varsity bas-
ketball team spent their spare
time in the City,

Glenda Farrell, who is star-
ring in the current play “Sep-
arate Rooms” is the aunt of Co-
captain Hank Brauner. So she
gives Hank a few passes. So
Hank hands them out. So the
boys are now capitalizing on
their visit with “Aunt Glenda”
at her apartment!

Frosh Lose Tilt

In Final Period

Meet Albany Academy
On Home Court Tonight

The scarlet tanagers missed their
second win of the season by one
point as Delhi edged out a 40-39
victory over them last Friday. Only
when the final whistle blew was the
outcome of the game decided,

Starting out at a fast pace, the
Frosh gained an edge over the Ag-
gies in the opening minutes of the
game. Delhi's shift from a zone to
a man to man defense slowed down
the tanagers’ offense, giving Delhi
a 11-9 lead at the end of the first
period.

The second stanza found the
yearlings hitting the hoops again as
they went out in front by a 21-20
score, Once more the Aggies came
back to lead 31-28 at the end of the
third quarter.

With ten seconds to play in the
game, Delhi leading 39-38, a dou-
ble foul was called on Buck Hip-
pick and Jack McArdle. Since this
foul put Hippick out of the game,
Frank Woodworth came in to shoot
Buck's foul. Woodworth's sinking
of this foul shot tied the score at
39 all, but McArdle made his, also,
putting Delhi out in front again.

With not enough time for the
Frosh to score again this score, 40-
39, decided the game.

Tonight at 7 P. M. the Frosh hope
to avenge their previous loss to Al-
bany Academy, With the advan-
tage of being on their home court
the Frosh should provide Academy
very stiff competition tonight if
they play the fast brand of basket-
ball they displayed a week ago.

Continues Action

Dorm A Takes Top Spot;
As Newman Hall Loses

Dorm A established themselves in
first place Wednesday afternoon
when they defeated Newman Hall
17-14. Domann, LaSalle, and Herd-
man made an unbeatable trio de-
spite the ample guarding of the
Newman Hall six. Newman made
the ending spectacular by two quick
baskets, but Dorm A soon recovered.

Moreland tromped over the Com-
muter B team 14-3 to make up for
their last week's defeat. The Com-
muters lacked teamwork and co-
operation. Commuters A forfeited
to Junipers Wednesday afternoon.

Wednesday night in an exciting
double header, Dorm B beat the
Cooper House team 15-9, and Dorm

“© whipped North-Western 22-16.

Dorm B had a definite edge on the
Cooper House girls because of their
accurate shots, Cooper plays a very
fast, spectacular game, but their
shots were not accurate, Rock-
castle, the only senior on the Dorm
B team, made eight of the 15 points,
and formed the backbone of the
team.

‘The Dorm C-North-Western game
ran for a four minute overtime
period to decide the winner. The
girls played hard and exciting for 30
minutes,

Gamma Kap Takes Lead
In WAA Bowling Loop

With its victory over a strong
Newman Hall team last Tuesday,
Gamma Kappa Phi took the lead
once more in the WAA Bowl-
ing League. This is the second time
that the top position in the league
has been held by Gamma Kappa.
The match was a tie, with Gamma
Kappa and Newman each taking
two points.

Newman Hall, Psi Gamma, and
Junipers are in a three-way tie for
second place, as a result of Juni-
pers victory over Phi Delta last
‘Tuesday and Thursday.

‘CARL MITCHELL

Tonight’s resumption of combat.
with Niagara University marks the
peak in the present season of well-
known opponents.

The game this evening brings
back memories of the hard-fought
contest just two years ago. Many of
the present senior and junior class
sports fans will recall how a decid-
edly underdog State squad suddenly
pulled out the throttle and steamed
ahead in the closing seconds of the
game. The score was 51-50 in our
favor as the final whistle blew. At
almost the same instant, a Niagara
forward let fly with a long-range
throw that found its mark with
deadly accuracy—but a split second
too late.

So hard hit were the representa-
tives of mightly Niagara that tears
were shed by members of the team.
Tears from athletes. Tears con-
vincingly indicative of the fine spirit
of play instilled in veteran players.
Although the occasion was not a
happy one for the visitors, it never-
theless gladdened our hearts to be-
hold the evidence displayed by
sincere hard-scrapping lads who
held victory as a cherished goal.

We would suggest that every fan
who wants to see a major college
tilt .attend tonight’s tournament.
It's true that we have not had too
successful a season this year, But
the breaks just haven’t been in
State’s favor.

Whether State wins or loses this
game is sure to provide the maxi-
mum in speed and thrills. State
realizes that it is at a disadvantage
from the start but that has never
deterred the local athletes from
fighting with all the stamina they
could muster. Perhaps if State re-
peats with another win we can say,
“Remember Niagara Falls!"

COLLEGE BUILDINGS TO CLOSE EARLY

College Activities
Budget Must Take
Ten Per Cent Cut

Finance Board Reports
Paid Taxes 100 Short

The impending budget cut has
finally arrived. Different extra-cur-
ricular organizations have just been
notified by Robert Bartman, 43,
member of the Finance Board, as to
the nature and the extent of their
cut.

The budget cut was necessitated
by the fact that this year’s budget
was based on the sale of 1000 student
tax tickets, and that only 900 or so
tax tickets were actually sold. At
the present time there are only 960
students, including graduates, en-
rolled in the college, as compared
to the 1025 enrolled in September.
This decrease entailed the payment
of $455 to the 65 students leaving
school who had already bought their
student tax
Loomed Since September

The cut has loomed since early
in September when it was seen that
a 100% sale of tax tickets could not
Possibly be expected. The cut, made
just recently, was made on a pro
rata basis, that is, according to the
percent of the total amount of
money that each activity receives
from the whole; the cut this time
amounts to about at 10% decrease
from the appropriation in the bud-
get made out and passed in one of
last year’s assemblies,

Although the infirmary fund and
the Pedagogue received cuts, this
does not tell the whole story; both
of these organizations obtain a cer-
tain amount of money from each
tax ticket sold; the infirmary fund
receives $3 from every tax ticket
and the Pedagogue $1
Some Can Take No Cut

Appropriations of a few of the
organizations, such as the Freshmen
Handbook, could not be reduced be-
cause the money had already been
spent

Following are the cuts that each
organization had to take:

M.A.A. $279.40

Srare Coutrar News 230.00

Debate Council 42.00

Five-Foot-Two Plus Cigar Equals Red

by Bernard Skolsky

‘The Junior Prom tonight will
have soft lights, and sweet music
by Don Redman and his orchestra.
An orchestra leader who tops five
feet by a very few inches, who
smokes cigars perpetually, and who
brings forth music in the modern
manner that's Don Redman

Because Redman is noted for his
cigar-smoking, many people have
assumed that his thems, "Chant of
the Weed," his own composition, is
dedicated to tobacco. In truth, the
“Weed” is “marihuana,” a common
weed having a narcotic effect on
the smoker. Redman's interest in

rs,’ ever, goes no further
than expressing the dreams they in-
duce in music. He'll stick to cigars.

Redman attended Storer College
and the Detroit and Boston Con-
servatories of Music. His unique
arrangements when he was associ-
ated with Fletcher Henderson and
McKenney's Cotton Pickers, placed
those bands in the front rank of
dance bands.

DON REDMAN

Before Don Redman leads his

musid of one of
his he i Bements, he
always has them play a slower tune
as a “warm up.” Before his mon
can go on the stage or begin a
hroadeast, they must tune their in-
struments, and this tuning process
has almost assumed the proportions
of 4 ritual. Don sits at the piano,
strikes an "A," and as each man
files by, he matches the leader's
note on his own instrument,

Redman is one of the few band
leaders who can substitute at a
moment's notice for any one of his
musicians. He plays every instru-
ment except the banjo. Probably by
now, he plays the banjo too, ‘The
saxophone is his favorite instru-
ment and the one he usually plays
when conducting his orchestra.

And here's a prediction; Howie
Lynch, that expert in picking bands,
says that Redman is on his way up
and that he will become another
Arle Shaw or Tommy Reynolds,
both of whom have played at for-
mer State dances,

Luncheon Will Wind Up Festivities

Junior Prom, with all its regal
sparkle and splendor, is slated for
tonight at the Aurania Club where
Don Redman and his orchestra,
opening to the strains of Chant of
the Weed, will play from 10 P. M. to
2A, M. Bids were lowered this year
to $2.75 and will be on sale this
afternoon in the lower hall, of
Traper until 4 P. M. and at the
Aurania Club tonight, According
to Mildred Mattice, general chair-
man, the sale of bids has proceeded
very successfully,

“Junior Week" is no longer as
important as it was once. Formerly,
on the first week of second semes-
ter, the Junior class took charge
of college activities, beginning with
the chapel services on Wednesday.
This was followed by a Thursday
reception to which all students were
invited, but was later replaced by a
“Tea Dance.” The weekend was
completed by a Prom on Friday and
& Banquet Saturday afternoon,
Recalls World War I

During the years of World War I,
patriotic themes and “Eatless Ban-
quets” were the order of the day,
“The Junior Banquet,” declared the
1918 News, “owing to the exigencies
of the times, confined its menu to
ice cream and cake, There were no
limitations set upon the fun, how-
ever.” The situation is somewhat
similar today. Because of the war
emergency, the Junior Tea was
dropped trom the program,

This year at the stroke of midnight,
Queen Duff (Marion Dufty, '42) will
place the coveted crown on the head
of her successor, ‘Ihe five candi-
dates, nominated by the Junior
class two weeks ago, are: Dorothy
Cox, Shirley Hastman, Mildred Mat-
tice, June Melville, and Marilynn
Rich,

Winding up the weekend is the
Junior Luncheon, to be held at
Jack's Restaurant, Saturday, Febru-
ary 21, The price is $.85 and each
Junior may bring an outside guest.
The speaker is Dr, Shields Mac-
Ilwaine, Professor of English. Jun-
iors may sign up at the bid table
in the lower hall of Draper.

STATE COLLEGE NEWS, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1942

What's the Matter with Us?

The campaign to give defense stamps instead of corsages
for Prom was not specifically at the instigation of this
publication, but the NEWS is whole-heartedly behind it.
This is,important as campaigns go because it signifies that
at least some of our students are awake to a world situation
that demands our active support. The students behind this
movement realize as so many of us do not that we must
listen for the scraping sound of bombs as they are loaded
into Nazi bombers; not for their devastating detonation as
they fall upon us sending death into our midst. It is high
time that the people of America and especially of State
College awaken to the necessity of active support of the war
effort, lest they die in their night shirts!!!!!

Scarlett O’Hara’s philosophy of “I'll think about it tomor-
row” may sound well in fiction, but it can bring nothing but
destruction to a nation at war. France “thought about it
tomorrow”: and now she thinks no more. , How long will it
take the American people to realize that we are in a war
which we must win, but which we aré not winning. Not by
any stretch of the imagination can Japanese advances in
the far East, the stiffening of Nazi resistance in Russia, the
recent’ humiliation of the British Navy and RAF in the
Straits'‘of Dover, and the Nazi shelling of vital oil refineries
in"the ‘Dutch’ East Indies be interpreted as gains by the
United Nations,

It.is not. a comforting thought that President Roosevelt
said on Wednesday that an attack on New York City is
feasible. It is not a comforting thought that Senator John-
son (R-Calif.) charged on the same day that there is “no
adequate defense of the Pacific Coast” and that “without
that we're likely to see in the near future another Pearl
Harbor” (San Francisco). These are not comforting
thoughts, but they are thoughts. If these are the ideas that
are in the minds of our State College students and the minds
of the American people and in the minds of our Congress-
men, these people would not bicker over slight encroach-
ments in Hell Week activities, or the inconvenience of tire
rationing, or spent time enacting legislation insuring old age
security. Concepts of personal pleasure, convenience and
even security, are all gone by the board now. We must
realize this or we will follow these concepts. There can be
only one thought now: we must fight, you must fight, he
must fight, | must fight, for only by such aggressive thought
and action can we deserve, or indeed obtain, the security
which we crave.

Fight cannot mean guns and battles for college students,
but it can and does mean all-out student cooperation in the
war activities effort which has been set up by students and
faculty alike. This all-out student cooperation has not been
forthcoming. In the first week of Defense Stamp sales in
the Co-op our students purchased five cents worth of stamps
each. Is this an all-out effort ? In the month or so so that
Red Cross sewing has been organized at this college only
eleven out of approximately eight hundred girls have re-
sponded to the call and done work worth mentioning. Can
this be called an all-out effort. Leaders in all phases of the
war activities complain of a general apathy on the part of
all workers. The volunteers were many and enthusiastic
shortly ufter last December 7, but workers who grew out
of this enthusiasm are few and far between !!!! Something
must be done about this situation. The only people who can
do this something are the students of this college. The
responsibility is ours—we must accept it or suffer for our
negligence in the future,

Recent developments have shown that we must be pre-
pared, The whole college is being closed after dark with the
exception of Huested Hall where a few essential after-dark
activities must be carried on, Is this not enough to convey
to even the most apathetic of persons that something un-
usual is afoot ? This means that our library will be closed
evenings. When an institution for the training of teachers
curtails its educational program, one must conclude that
even the most important of things must bow to the spirit
of war, It is our lot to fight.

Blochhead in a Blackout

by Bub Adams

I'm overwhelmed, non-plussed, discombooberated
and out of a job. I've chewed my hands down to
stumps. My nerves are shot to pieces. My head beats
like a tomtom. My pulse is doing a rhumba and you
ask “How did you like the blackout?” People like
you oughta be shot. Another blackout like that and
I'll need more than Kildare or Gillespie. I'll call in
Glotz, I will. Who's Glotz? He's the little brown man
who rides in on the left ear of the calico cat, dangles
the left ear of an antelope, a toothbrush and three
lumps of sugar in front of me, slaps me with an anvil
and shouts: “Heil Shotzfrotz, and we will gruber!”

. . I'm tired of it. Pink elephants are nothing.
Lavendar alligators are insipid. Little green dragons
are colorless. Have you ever had a little brown brother
ride in on the left ear of a calico cat and shout “Heil,
Shotzfrotz and we will gruber” ?

It's silly but it happens and it’s all on account of
blackouts and blackouts are dangerous to sanity.
I wouldn't mind but in my contract with Sour Brotten
Pictures Co, Inc. Ltd. there !s a sanity clause. Who
said there ain’t no sanity clause? You've never been
to Hollywood or Culvert City. Ask that little buoy.
Sea?

Anyway out here in Culvert City, we had another
blackout the other night, just as I was about to dress
for the premiere of “OUR CYNIC AND OLD LACE,”
Sour Brotten Pictures Co. Inc. Ltd.'s newest smash hit.
(I wrote it. It'll smash all right. Boston doesn't like
me, New York hates my guts. Chicago says I’m a
misogynistic misanthrope. Charlle McCarthy says I'm
Stuporman in person and Barrymore says, ‘Barrymore
work for Sour Brotten ... PHaahhhhhhhhhhhh !")

Anyhow, I was about to dress for the premiere when
all the lights went out and the sirens started mvaning.
I kept time with them by screaming “Eve-linn ! Eve-
linn !" (my English valet, Evelyn Martin DeQuincey
Schmaltz, Princeton, ‘39, out of Saratoga by way of
Pimlico, Epsom Downs, Hialeah and East Toldy-Told
Street), “Eve-linn !" I bellowed in my best Sour Brot-
ten Pictures Co. Inc. Ltd, manner, Then I remembered.
Evelyn was dancing with Tosca, my maid who had
offered to take Marley my cook to see her mother in
Packard, my car, so James, my chauffeur, took Sam
my second valet and since they were passing the Casa
Banana they dropped off Jock, my gardener and Eva
my wife... Wahhhh! I was all alone.

“I must dress for the premiere,” said I to Sour
Brotten's wit and author of that smash hit, “Our Cynic
and Old Lace.” I started toward the bedroom, tripped
over a footstool, careened through space and lit gasp-
ing ike a damp goldfish on the tea table. Good ol’
tea table—rolled through the doorway and deposhit—
pardon—deposited me in the bedroom, I think. “Now
to get dresh—dressed," said I, “dresh for the premiere.”

“Dresh, dresh, dresh,” I was singing t minutes
later as I hailed a cab. “Dresh, dresh, dresh," I chanted
twenty minutes later as the cab drew up in front of
Growemann's Chi-knees Theeter. “Whatta you know,
no lites," shouted God's gift to Sour Brotten Pictures
Co. Inc. Ltd. Someone shushed me shush. “Don't you
shush me shush," shush I and stepped up to the miker-
phone. Just then somebody yelled, “Blackout’s over !",
the whole world lit up and there I stood, a searchlight
beating down on me, dressed In @ shoe box, an old
inner tube and a pack of Old Golds. I guess the tea
table didn't take me into the bedroom. Wahhh was
me!

With the Japanese 75 miles from the city, the
British are evacuating the civilian population from
Rangoon, the seaport of the Burma road. Chinese
troops have launched a drive against northern Thai-
land to relieve the pressure on Burma.

The Japanese captured Singapore, and launched
thelr drive against Sumatra, They took the ruined
industrial city of Palembang in the south where the
Dutch have destroyed the oll flelds. Japanese planes
attacked the naval base at Darwin in North Australia.

charge of gross inefficiency in Malaya and Singapore,

It used to be the height of ambition for a mother
to have her son grow up and become President. Now
she wants her daughter to grow up and marry a man
who will become President... .

Have you had any of the “war-coffee” at the Boul
yet ?

In a letter to Glen Walrath, Van Schulze, last year's
glamour boy around State, gives a graphic descrip-
tion of the life of an aviation cadet. Stationed at the
biggest Air Corp Replacement center in the U.S., Van
enlightens us thus:

“A replacement center is a place where men are
sent for 3 or 4 weeks training in the ‘School of the
Soldier,’ which is just a fancy name for infantry
drill.”

Two Vans at Jefferson Barracks

'44’s contribution writes that Van Ellis is also at
Jefferson, and that the former '43er has a “soft” job,
being stationed there for the duration—living in the
comparative luxury of a barracks.

Schulze and most of the boys live in tents, which
are OK, IF “you can keep the fire hot, if your tent
doesn’t leak, if you can keep the draft out with all
the cracks in the bottom, and if the weather isn’t 8
degrees below zero.”

About the only deplorable condition is the fact
that our hero hasn't seen a girl to talk to for over a
month (except behind a counter), causing him to
begin to doubt the existence of the beautiful beings
which he unromantically labels “creatures.” . . .

No, Van, State doesn't look too much like a girl's
school yet—at least not any more than usual. You
ask about the “News” being sent to you—it can be
arranged, and Glen will probably take care of it.

Tell the other Van his classmates are having their
Junior Prom this weekend,—that they all wish he
could be here to watch Don Redman and his black-
out band swing out. Tell him we'll be thinking of him
anyway, and that we're all wishing him the best of
luck... .

Schulze will move in a couple of weeks to one of
the various flight training centers, but at the present
can be reached by writing Private Van Schulze, Flight
17, 28th Squad, Jefferson Barracks, Missouri. . . .

Victory Through Sweat Only

It’s just about time we all got on the ball, rolled up
our sleeves, and went to work, The Japanese may be
using .25 caliber rifles, they may be using BB guns,
but at any rate they've done an ‘elluva lot of damage.

Italy may be mad at Germany;—Germany may be
about to explode internally;—All the oppressed peoples
of Europe may be just on the verge of a gigantic revolt;
—German officers may be getting shot down instead of
dying by disease, etc.;—and Steam-roller Joe Stalin's
boys may be giving Adolf the bum’s rush;—All of
which is pleasant to hear but doesn’t count for a hoot
in you know where, in winning this war.

The followers of a pot-bellied imitation Caesar may
be mad at Aryanism's chief exponent, but this does not
bring Singapore back. Joe Stalin is doing OK now in
the winter, but Adolf isn't exactly ready for a wheel-
chair yet, and in the spring, while most men are turn-
ing lightly to thoughts of love, Dracula's dream child
will have his eye on the Kremlin, hoping to have
Comrade Joe for dinner—on toast !

What's the Matter with Us?

The campaign to give defense stamps instead of corsages
for Prom was not specifically at the instigation of this
publication, but the NEWS is whole-heartedly behind it.
This is important as campaigns go because it signifies that
at least some of our students are awake to a world situation
that demands our active support. The students behind this
movement realize as so many of us do not that we must
listen for the scraping sound of bombs as they are loaded
into Nazi bombers; not for their devastating detonation as
they fall upon us sending death into our midst. It is high
time that the people of America and especially of State
College azcaken to the necessity of active support of the war
effort, lest they die in their night shirts !

Scarlett O’Hara’s philosophy of “I'll think about it tomor-
row” may sound well in fiction, but it can bring nothing but
destruction to a nation at war. France “thought about it
tomorrow” and now she thinks no more. How long will it
take the American people to realize that we are in a war
which we must win, but which we are not winning. Not by
any stretch of the imagination can Japanese advances in
the far East, the stiffening of Nazi resistance in Russia, the
recent humiliation of the British Navy and RAF in the
Straits of Dover, and the Nazi shelling of vital oil refineries
in ‘the Dutch East Indies be interpreted as gains by the
United Nations.

It is not a comforting thought that President Roosevelt
said on Wednesday that an attack on New York City is
feasible. It is not a comforting thought that Senator John-
son (R-Calif.) charged on the same day that there is “no
adequate defense of the Pacific Coast” and that “without
that we're likely to see in the near future another Pearl
Harbor” (San Francisco). These are not comforting
thoughts, but they wre thoughts. If these are the ideas that
are in the minds of our State College students and the minds
of the American people and in the minds of our Congres
men, these people would not bicker over slight encroach-
ments in Hell Week activities, or the inconvenience of tire
rationing, or spent time enacting legislation insuring old age
security. Concepts of personal pleasure, convenience and
even security, are all gone by the board now. We must
realize this or we will follow these concepts, There can be
only one thought now: we must fight, you must fight, he
must fight, | must fight, for only by such aggressive thought
and action can we deserve, or indeed obtain, the security
which we crave.

Fight cannot mean guns and battles for college students,
but it can and does mean all-out student cooperation in the
war activities effort which hes been set up by students and
faculty alike. This all-out student cooperation has not been
forthcoming. In the first week of Defense Stamp sales in
the Co-op our students purchased five cents worth of stamps
each, Is this an all-out effort ? In the month or so so that
Red Cross sewing has been organized at this college only
eleven out of approximately eight hundred girls have re-
sponded to the call and done work worth mentioning, Can
this be called an all-out effort. Leaders in all phases of the
war activities complain of a general apathy on the part of
all workers, The volunteers were many and enthusiastic
shortly after last December 7, but workers who grew out
of this enthusiasm are few and far between !!!! Something
must be done about this situation, The only people who can
do this something are the students of this college. The
responsibility is ours—we must accept it or suffer for our
negligence in the future,

Recent developments have shown that we must be pre-
pared. The whole college is being closed after dark with the
exception of Huested Hall where a few essential after-dark
activities must be carried on. Is this not enough to convey
to even the most apathetic of persons that something un-
usual is afoot ? This means that our library will be closed
evenings. When an institution for the training of teachers
curtails its educational program, one must conclude that
even the most important of things must bow to the spirit
of war, It is our lot to fight.

by Bub Adams:

I'm overwhelmed, non-plussed, discombooberated
and out of a job. I've chewed my hands down to
stumps. My nerves are shot to pieces. My head beats
like a tomtom. My pulse is doing a rhumba and you
ask “How did you like the blackout ?” People like
you oughta be shot. Another blackout like that and
I'll need more than Kildare or Gillespie. I'll call in
Glotz, I will. Who's Glotz ? He's the little brown man
who rides in on the left ear of the calico cat, dangles
the left ear of an antelope, a toothbrush and three
lumps of sugar in front of me, slaps me with an anvil
and shouts: “Heil Shotzfrotz, and we will gruber!”

. I'm tired of it. Pink elephants are nothing.
Lavendar alligators are insipid. Little green dragons
are colorless. Have you ever had a little brown brother
ride in on the left ear of a calico cat and shout “Heil,

I ly but it happens and it's all on account of

Anyway out here in Culvert City, we had another
blackout the other night, just as I was about to dress
for the premiere of “OUR CYNIC AND OLD LACE,”

Anyhow, I was about to dress for the premiere when
all the lights went out and the sirens started moaning
I kept time with them by screaming “Eve-linn ! Eve-

offered to take Marley my cook to see her mother in
Packard, my car, so James, my chauffeur, took Sam

my wife Wahhhh ! I was all alone.

books over extended college vaca-
tions will apply. Reserve books may
be taken from the library over the
weekends beginning Friday at 4:30
P. M. except that at least one copy
of each book must remain in the
brary for Saturday reading. If a
book is in use between 4:30 P. M.
and 6 P. M. it cannot be taken out
until the person using it is finished.
Additional details will be posted in
the Library.

The college athletic program must
undergo a change also, since the
gym has been declared unsafe by
defense officials. Coach G, Elliot
Hatfield has announced that the
State-St.Michael basketball game,
originally scheduled for Friday eve-
ning, has been moved forward to
Thursday at 4:30 P. M, The inter-
mural program has also been modi-
fied. For details see the sports page.

Administrauion officials voiced the
hope that financial aid to provide
for better blackout arrangements
can be arranged after the beginning
of the next fiscal year.

Faculty Hiking, Drinking Gallons of Milk, Rising Early;

The State College Faculty no
longer has to patronize drug stores
for its sparkling eyes and rosy
cheeks, They've gone in training
with a vengeance. Four mile hikes,
gallons of milk, abstinence from nic-
otine, and early
(in the morning)
hours are the
fashion on the
faculty nowadays.

The cause for

this reformation ?
Well, Myskania

At this early

of the melee is
uncertain, in spite of the fact that
each side is confident (outwardly, at
least) that it can easily walk off with
the victory. Paul Bulger, who gave
up cigarettes at the age of 14 be-
cause he foresaw this great oppor-
tunity, believes that frequent sub-

Eldred Deplores
Education Budget

“New York State education must
have full state aid! We're right be-
hind President Sayles to keep State
College from a starvation budget,”
declared Dr, Arvie Eldred, E
live Secretary of the New York
Teacher's Association, in last

assembly.

In explaining the organization and
purpose of the leachers’ association,
Dr. Eldred traced the development
of the society from the struggle for
free schools in 1845 to the present
day with its problems of rural edu-
cation and state aid

Dr. Eldred explained that the aim
and purpose of the organization to
give equal education to children in
the whole state may be attained
only by having well-qualified teach-
ers. Dr, A. R. Brubacher, late Presi-
dent of the college, was a leader in
the teacher-welfare movement still
an important question today.

Almost every teacher in New York
State belongs to the association and
membership is open to students in
teacher-training institutions also.
“We know you're getting better
training than you ever had,” said
Dr. Eldred. “We want you to take
over,”

clutched his bottle of milk. Boy-
cheff's been in training all year,
according to himself, so he doesn’t
have to reorganize his schedule to
get fit for the game. Ralph Baker,
rushing home to don his running
tights, declared
that "Dr. Reinow
and I do four
miles of cross-
country every
day.” (When told
of this, Dr, Rei-
now looked slight-
ly amazed.) Anew
technique for the
faculty is what
Dr. Baker advo-
cates. “And the
faculty will win,
but definitely |"
And maybe the
faculty's right.
They've got a
semi - professional
among them. Rob-
ert Reinow played
his last game 12
years ago and he’:
going to play his
rules. His own
idea of a good bas-
ketball game is,
“To do anything
to get the ball,” and he's definitely
in favor of his own type of “wind-
less" basketball (meaning just what
it implies), The fact that Rienow is
in the social studies department
probably accounts for hit ggestion
that the refer be chosen demo-
cratically, by election, Reinow is
positive that the faculty will win;
but he added, “After all, it’s a ques-
tion of who is worse.”

Juniors Introduce
‘Lindying Craze,
Remain Dignified

Way back in 1939 A.D., State Col-
lege was blitzkried by a not-too-
verdant freshman class which im-
mediately started to revolutionize
State traditions,

For many years, phlegmatic State
tripped the light fantastic to waltzes
and sometimes in more radical
moods, indulged in an occasional
fox-trot. It took the upstarts of '43
to lift the Commons roof daily with
a new Lindy craze which caused
conservative upper-classmen to re-
sort to a policy of “watchful wait-
ing” on the balcony. A disgruntled
junior often went so far as to sug-
gest compelling the St. Vitus danc-
ers to confine their gymnastics to
the area under the ping-pong table.

The exhausted frosh, still recup-
erating from Freshman Camp, were
required to give their all in render-
ing genius I. Q.'s.

Becomes Dignified For a Time

Came the combined Junior and
President's Reception at which ‘43,
amidst hearty welcomes and hand-
shakes, assumed a dignified manner
and put their best hand forward.

The realistic Sophs at their cus-
tomary reception attempted to in-
timidate the fearless ‘43ers and of-
fered them a choice between heaven
and hell, halo or horns, Although
the reticent frosh refused to com-
mit themselves, they have illustrated
by their model behavior that they
have never once strayed from the
straight and narrow path.

When it came to rivalry, their
president Tom Feeney stated, “The
frosh are ready to take anything in
their stride.” Evidently their stride
was not quite long enough, for on
Moving-up Day a record rivalry
score was obtained—but not in fav-
or of "43,

Organizes “Black Legion”

But this did not phase the class,
for starting their sophomore year
right, 43 organized the dreaded
Black Legion under their president,
Curley Taylor, The purpose of this
secret-sixteen was to punish diso-
bedient frosh. Just to show that
their heart was in the right place,
however, the benevolent sophs en-
tertained '44 with ia minstrel show—
another Black Legion of gags and
gals.

When organized rivalry began, the
sophs displayed their valor and
bowled the freshmen over with a
66-0 pushball score.

The frosh spirit thus daunted, un-
org:nized rivalry proceeded with a
“pantless party” which reached its
climax during assembly in the
midst of a talent show when the
sophs' herculean strength hurled ap-
proximately, 350 pounds of pantless
humanity, vintage ‘44, upon the
stage. As the amazed freshmen
gazed down from the balcony at
their helpless clasmates, a crafty
soph clandestinely locked the hal-
cony exits—nothing short of Dean
Nelson's demands could induce the
release by the culprits!

Further illustrating their prece-
dent of individualism, 21 sophomores

STATE COLLEGE NEWS, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY £0, 1942

Surveys Show ‘43
In Superior Group

Half of Present Juniors
High in Culture Tests

“Fifty per cent of State College
sophomores (the present juniors)
ranked as high as the highest 20%
of all the 7724 college students who
took the 1941 National College Soph-
Omore General Culture tests last,”
reports Dr. Elizabeth H. Morris,
Professor of Education and Consult-
ing College Psychologist,

‘That SOT students are representa-
tive of the general superiority of
students in Teachers’ Colleges, com-
pared with those in all kinds of
higher institutions, is demonstrated
in every section of the General Cul-
ture test. Ninety per cent of State
students made better score than the
lowest 50% of all those who took
the tests. State scores in the history
and literature groups were especially
superior according to Dr. Morris’ re-
port.

However, Dr. Morris says, “Even
such gratifying results should be
interpreted with care rather than
seized upon with a complacent feel-
ing of superiority, since SOT stu-
dents are so rigorously selected that
they have a ‘head start’, so to speak.”

The median score for men was
somewhat higher on the sub-tests of
current social problems, of history
and social studies, of mathematics,
and of the other sciences and over-
balanced the effect of women's
superiority in the literature section.
Hence the men were superior in the
total score,

Stamp Corsages
To Aid in Drive

A campaign to start the sale of
defense stamps on an even larger
scale than heretofore was begun this
week under the supervision of
Rhona Ryan and Trece Aney, sopho-
mores. Posters have been placed
around the college advocating the
buying of defense stamps to be worn
by the college women to the Junior
Prom in place of corsages.

As part of the campaign a box
also will be placed in the publica-
tions office in which students are
urged to put contributions. These
donations will be used to buy defense
stamps and ultimately to purchase a
defense bond, which will be given to
charity. Miss Ryan says, “Instead of
buying a coke or candy bar, give
your spending money to the cause.”

As to the wearing of corsages at
the prom, she believes that “State
men have reached rock bottom in
their financial difficulties, and they
might well use their money for
something more worthwhile and
necessary than corsages.”

The campaign leaders suggest the
following ways in which defense
stamps may be worn. Besides wear-
ing them for corsages they may be
used as bracelets and hairbows.

Miss Ryan feels that there has
been a decided indifference on the
part of the State students to do
their part for defense stamps. When
asked where he was buying his cor-
sage, Ed Holstein, '42, declared, “I'm
buying mine at the co-op.”

Pi Gamma Mu Plans
To Amend Constitution

At the meeting of Pi Gamma Mu,
National Honorary Social Studies
Fraternity, held Wednesday at 3:30
P. M,, Fred Ferris, '42, introduced
an amendment to the Pi Gamma Mu
constitution, which will be up for a
three week period before it will be
acted upon.

The proposed amendment would
allow up to eight of the 15 juniors
selected each year for membership
in Pi Gamma Mu to come into the
fraternity at the end of the first
semester. The others would be an-
nounced on Moving-Up Day as is
customary. In addition, the amend-
ment provide for an electorate com-
posed of student and faculty mem-
bers to select the students to be
admitted,

Pi Gamma Mu made plans for a
roller-skating party to be held in
conjunction with the Commerce
Club. The fraternity also planned
for activities to be carried on at
future meetings throughout the se-
mester.

Students Study Planning of Menus
In Classes Sponsored by Red Cross

The nutrition classes, sponsored
by the Red Cross, are held every
Tuesday and Wednesday from 7:30
P.M. to 9:30 P.M. A large number
of students and Albany residents are
attending the classes. Miss Margaret
Gentner of Albany High School
teaches the Tuesday night class and
Miss Ruth Goldsmith of Philip
Schuyler High School is in charge of
the class held on Wednesday night.
Room 101 is the headquarters for
the course.

All those people interested in do-
ing canteen work for the Red Cross
must take the nutrition course as a
prerequisite. The course is a ten-
week one and a Red Cross certifi-
cate is awarded at the end of this
period.

A study of food costs is made in
the course, a subject of timely in-
terest considering the high cost of
living existing in war time. To en-
able those enrolled to plan balanced
meals, menu planning is studied.
The students plan actual menus,
using the principles studied in the
adequate diet and nutrition parts
of the course. They are instructed in
the energy value of various foods,
calorie content, and what a properly
balanced and nutritive menu should
be. Tests are given to determine the
Progress of the students,

Those already engaged in Red
Cross canteen work are being sent to
take the nutrition course.

Both Miss Gentner and Miss Gold-
smith are making extensive plans
for the ensuing weeks of the course.
They are both very interested in
presenting valuable and useful in-
formation that will be practicable in
homes, group houses and the Red
Cross,

rapidly increasing.”

Madeleine Fagan, '42, rolled

Defense Council
Explains College
Wear Activities

Systematization Planned
To Coordinate Work

The committees working on na-
tlonal defense at State College feel
that the students should be better
acquainted with the actual organi-
zation of the college war activities.

The entire defense organization
centers around a War Activities
Council. Plans drawn up recently
have systematized the work of this
council.

The College Defense Organization
provides for a central coordinating
body which makes general plans to
do what needs to be done and ap-
points people to do the job. There
must also be people to direct volun-
teer workers. Thirdly an efficient
publicity program to summon volun-
teer energy and educate the students
to war needs is needed.

Extensive Program Working

The War Activities Council has
organized defense classes, a United
Book Campaign, sewing activities, a
salvage campaign, and issued air
raid precautions. The problem of
finances for defense work, of blood
donations to worthy causes, and of
complete blackouts and curtailing
of night activities at the college are
now at hand.

The publicity part of the program
revolves around Room 207, where at
2:30 P. M. on Monday, all phases of
defense work submit written reports
for publicity purposes, which goes
to Press Bureau, to postermaking
organizations, and for assembly an-
nouncements and News publication.
Heads of Activities

The following are in charge of
various phases of the war work:
Miss Sara T. DeLaney, Dean of
Students, Jean Sears and Bernard
Perlman, seniors, in charge of De-
fense Course organization; Dr. Louis
Jones, Instructor in English, Dr.
Robert Rienow, Assistant Professor
of Social Studies, and Dr. William
Hartley, Assistant Professor of Edu-
cation, in charge of radio script
work; Dr. Louis Jones, in charge of
air raid precautions work; Dr. Rob-
ert Rienow and Edwin Holstein, ’42,
in charge of publicity; Mr. Adam
Walker, Professor of Economics and
Sociology, and June Bantham, "44,
in charge of salvage; Mrs. Anna
Barsam, Supervisor of Home Eco-
nomics in Milne, Mrs. Dirk Tieszen,
and Sally Beard, '42, in charge of
Red Cross sewing; Miss Ruth
Hutchins, Assistant Professor of Art,
Miss Grace Martin and Miss Ruth
Suhrie, Instructors in Art, and Rita
Hickey, '43, in charge of poster work.

Students who are interested in any
of these activities should immedi-
ately contact those persons who are

Mrs. Roosevelt Emphasizes Role
Youth Must Play During Crisis

night. She emphasised particularly
the role of youth not only in the
war but in the peace to follow. Lead-

ers must be developed to help rebuild
the new world that is to follow.

In the reception room before her
talk, Mrs. Roosevelt’s head could be
seen above all the others in her
party. She was entirely in black,
the broad brim of her hat was up
on the side and swept forward in
front. Her dress was relieved by very
little color that her huge orchid
corsage was very noticeable. Her
conversational tone is low and pleas-
ant, and her handshake was as firm
as a man’s

Her speech covered all the aspects
of defense. She seemed greatly con-
cerned over the hoarding of sugar
when the armed for especially the
pilots patrolling the coast, have only
twenty seconds to get out of their
cracked-up planes. Laughter rip-
pled through the audience when she
mentioned England’s concern over
recreation, “especially dancing, all
Kinds of dancing.”

She expressed confidence in ulti-
mate victory if the people realize
hat thoy must sacrifice not only a
quarter of a pound of sugar a week,
but many other articles that have
been thought of as necessities,

A community spirit of helping
one's neighbor, of sharing together
supplies as well as sorrows will have
to be developed if America is to win
the war, concluded Mrs, Roosevelt,

Many Hazards
Face Students
In State College

Library Stairs, Fountains
Make Self-Murder Easy

by Kay Doran

Suicide has been universally de-
fined as the intentional taking of
one’s own life or self-murder. One
of the most effective means to “end
it all” is to jump off the Brooklyn
Bridge with a rope around one's
neck, a gun in one hand, a knife in
the other, first being careful to swal-
low some arsenic. But even this
method is not sure-fire as compared
with the various opportunities for
such an act as exist around State.

For those who are planing to
plunge from the heights of the State
Office Building, there is really no
need to exhaust oneself climbing 38
stories before the supreme effort
may it be suggested that these di
illusioned individuals merely ascend
the ninety degree angle of the Li-
brary stairs being careful to keep
eyes bashfully below “see level.”
Once at the top proceed to walk
painstakingly downward. A quick
and easy death is assured, for before
descending two steps, a spike heel
or size 12 shoe, as the case may be,
will inevitably slip to send them
sprawling, while the stooges climb
over the prostrate form. This method
is not advisable for those whose
chasses are a bit on the adipose side.
The width of the stairs would keep
them suspended indefinitely, there-
by holding up considerable traffic,

Showering Fountains

Then there is always poison for
the weary State student who wishes
a long vacation as a result of the
crowded exam schedule. To, these
misguided but determined shadows
of their former selves, it is advisable
to use the method which requires
the least exertion. For their conven-
jence, drinking fountains have been
evenly distributed about the College.
A twist of the wrist is all that is
needed to turn on the faucet, and if
they manage to escape drowning
from the convulsive upsurge of
water capable of extinguishing the
fire on the Normandie, they may
quietly succumb after one sip of the
lukewarm water.

Many would-be suicides have no
doubt given profound consideration
to employing asphyxiation as a
peaceful passing-away process. Al-
though the Science majors have
been strengthened to overcome the
aroma of such incompatible chemi-
cels as sulphur and hydrogen, the
average inexperienced student can-
not pass through the corridors of
Huested without stopping at the
Recovery room. To those students
who do not own a car (and there is
reason to believe that they do not)
let them merely take a slow prome-
nade through Huested sans gas
mask.

“Horrors of Huested”

Among the “horrors of Huested”
is the much talked of “guillotine”
door, which “slaps you down” when
you are and aren't looking. If they
are still determined to continue their
fatal plan (and if they have man-
aged to live through all previous
attempts) this door remains as a
way out (in more ways than one)
On the day set for the event, they
must fail to wear a suit of armor,
and merely push, or rather break
open the door. Once open, it
will boomerang in their face causing
everything to go black—and blue
The whole summary of the afore-
mentioned is, “It ain't watcha do,
its the way howya do it."

In the first quarter it appeared as

time and time again the Cadets
broke in for lay-ups.

State fans howled as they saw

‘The disease didn't seem to be con-

Academy rolled up a 27-17 margin

Apparently rejuvenated by a rest
the Tanagers opened up the third

State Hoopsters
Drop Niagara Tilt

Varsity Idle This Week;
Only Two Games Remain

State's Eagles continued their
nosedive last Friday when they lost
their seventh game of the season to
the high-flying Purple Eagles of
Niaga 51 to 25,

The outcome of the game was
never in doubt as Niagara took the
lead after the first minute of play

nd continued to lengthen this ad-
vantage throughout the game.

State's starting lineup consisted
of Brauner, Marsland, Hansen,
Young, and Feeney, Co-captain
Bill Dickson did not start the game
because of an ankle injury sus-
tained in the Pratt game.

y displaying plenty of
eight and power to burn, took the
lead after the first minute. The
first quarter of the game was not
fong under way before Bill Mars-
land was penalized three times for
perscnal fouls, Marsland usually
commits y few fouls in a contest
Coach Hatfield sent in a substitute
for Marsland at this point.

Rich Young played a bang-up
game and earned the applause ot
the overflowing crowd several times.
Co-captain Hank Brauner, State's
leading scorer, was completely
shackled and was able to score only
one point.

Led by their Janky center Gruns-
weig, who scored 10 points for the

the invading Purple Eagles

halftime 20-10. Both teams
substituted freely in the final quar-
ter as Niagara coasted to its twelfth
victory ged the game
which the Purple Eagles lost to
State two years ago by a 51 to 50
score.

State's basketeers have two gam
left. Next Thursday they will en-
gage the powerful St, Michael quin-
tet on the Page court, and on Mareh

game with the alumni

Dorm A Wins Again
To Assume Top Spot

In the first game of the girls’
basketball session Wednesday aft-
ernzon, Dorm B conquered’ Com-
muters B 12-6. Moreland fell to
North-Western 12-7, and in the last
game Dorm A slammed through to
another victory over Commuters A
29-10.

Dorm A has won five games out
f five played to take top. pluce.
They showed their usual good team-
work and precision plays Wednesday
allernoon. Sanderson replaced Do-
mann in the trio of forwards, but
they still clicked

The first game showed litle ac-
tion on either side, Neither team
hung onto the bell very well, us a
result the referee did most of the
work. Kupke was high scorer for
Derm B. making half the points

‘The Moreland - North - Western
meet proved more exciting even
though the final score wasn't much
closer. In the first half the ball went
back and forth between the two
teams with both sides shooting fre-
quently, but wildly. The half found
the score close, 6-5, North-Western
stormed ahead in the second half to
pile up their final six points,

Potter Club Takes
Half-game Lead
In I-M Basketball

Emerging victorious in its two
contests this week, Potter Club re-
sumed the leadership of the Intra-
mural basketball league, Wins over
the Ramblers and KDR placed the
TEP squad one-half game ahead of
its nearest rival, College House, who
also won their lone game of the
weelt with Sayles Hall.

The Ramblers threw a scare into
the ranks of the league leaders by
starting out strong and obtaining a
12-10 lead at half time. However, the
close checking of the Potter lads
stopped the commuters cold while
EEP pulled ahead to win 23-16,
Reed and Hammond scored ten and
nine points respectively for the win-
ners,

Potter Tops KDR

In the KDR contest, Potter Club
was also trailing at intermission
9-8. However, Potter was again
able to come through with a victory
as Ed Reed sank a pop shot in the
final minute to give EEP a two
point edge

With Ruback leading the way
with 13 points, College House had

points for the losers, Sayles was
rarely within striking distance and
lost 25-18.

Previous to their defeat to Potter,
KDR scored handily to defeat the
hapless Thomas More squad. The
cellar dweller’s attack could not
function, while Stone and Graves
threw in 15 and 12 pvints respec-
tively to lead KDR to a decisive 36-

Jordan Scores 21

SLS defeated their back door
neighbors from the men's dorm by
a score of 38-27, Jordan led the
winners attack by flipping in eight
baskets in the first half and adding
five more points in the second stan-
za for a total of 21, Gipp contrib-
uted 15 counters to the losing cause
of Sayles Hall,

In the first overtime game of the
intramural season, Kappa Beta

score was 12 all at the end of the
regular playing time; however, led
by Bitunan, KB scored six points
to one for Sayles and won 18-13.

Orchids

It isn't often that we get the
chance to write exactly what we
feel like saying. And when we do get
the chance ... . oddly enough .
we don’t know what to say.

The way we figured, it is always
safe to pat a few people on the
back so here goes. Our first mythical
orchid is awarded to the sixty men
who took part in the recently-com-
pleted intramural bowling schedule,
Their enthusiasm definitely showed
that the men want bowling. Let's
hope that there are enough men
left next year to run a bowling
league .... or maybe Nora’s idea of
co-ed bowling will become a ne-
cesity. Hmmmmm.

A second orchid goes to Potter's
bowling champs. They beat SLS in
the final game of their match to
win another title. To lend variety to
Potter's collection of trophies, In-
tramural Council has ordered a
plaque instead of a cup this time.

Our third orchid goes to Thomas
More's spirited basketball team, Al-
though suffering defeat after de-
feat we find them fighting until the
final whistle in every game and
never complaining of the outcome.

A final orchid goes to Clarence
Oarr for all the time he has so un-
selfishly given to keeping record of
all intramural bowling scores... .
you will also note that he hag the
high individual average.

P. S. Oarr says that anyone may
check the score sheets if in doubt.

Gene Guarino,

I-M Refereeing

This department hates to be erl-
tical, especially’ in {ts one eppor-
tunity of the year to write a column.
However, conditions in the intra:
mural basketball games have reach-
ed such a state that it is unsafe, at
times, to play basketball.

This precarious situation, the on-
ly blot on the functioning of the
Intramural Basketball League, is
brought upon by the extreme laxness
on the part of some referees. Some
contests have developed into wild
and woolly affairs which are more
appropriate on the football gridiron
than on the basketball court. In
some games less than a half-dozen
fouls were called while five times
that amount were committed, some
openly and willfully,

No Fast Whistle

By this we do not mean that
we advocate the use of a fast
whistle in intramural contests, but
neither do we want the other ex-
treme, Surely a middle course can
be taken which will provide for a
clean sportsman-like contest.

Rough games are unfair to the
better playing teams when the fouls
are not called. A smooth-working
team is hampered by rough tactics,
and too frequently the referees have
permitted these offenses to contin-
ue for no particular reason, much
to the disguest of the players of
both teams,

Many teams have changed thelr
style of playing for the worse be-
cause of this overlooking by the
referees, and a poorer brand of bas-
ketball has resulted.

Let us hope that the few remain-
ing intramural games will be mark-
ed with more conscientious referee-
ing

On Production
Of Radio Scripts

Students to Participate
In Defense Broadcasts

Radio for victory! Everyone has
heard a lot about it, but the aver-
age student's conception of just
what it means ts a little vague.

The “radio for victory” group
composed of students and Albany
citizens, about one hundred people
in all, writes and produces radio
seripts for the Albany City and
County Defense Office, Most of the
writing is done by the citizens, the
students being occupied for the most
part in research and production.
How Script Is Made

What happens to a script? Mrs.
Frederick B. White, publicity direc-
tor for the Civilian Defense Office,
sends to the radio script committee
@ list of subjects that the Defense
Office wants publicized. The com-
mittee decides what angles are to
be stressed and gives this informa-
tion to the research group. These
people collect material through li-
brary work and interviews, At a
weekly meeting the entire script
group is divided into four sections,
with a member of the research and
production committees in each sec-
tion. The research people supply the
facts while the production people
tell how to approach the subject and
what points to stress. Then the
writers go to work. The following
week, all the scripts are turned into
the editorial staff who choose the
best parts from each script to make
up one good script. When it is ap-
proved by the Civilian Defense Of-

fice, the production people put it on
the air.
First Production March 26

‘The first production will be heard
on March 26, the subject being the
Mbrary in defense work, The com-
mittee has invented an average fam-
fly, the Victor family, who will ap-
pear in some of the broadcasts.
Actors will be members of the State
College Radio Guild,

Other subjects in various stages of
development are sugar, salvage,
posters in public schools, auto me-
chanics, gardens, blackouts, and
edible weeds,

Dr. Jones stresses the point that
no one person may take credit for
any one broadcast. There are from
fifteen to twenty-five people con-
nected with one program.

“The College Jeweler”

103 Central Ave, Albany, N. ¥,

Will they return to graduate ?
That is the question foremost in
everyone's mind as more and more
students substitute army camps for
college ‘ampuses,

This week a number of State Col-
lege instructors express their opin-
fons on a plan formulated by the
University of Iowa to give financial
aid to students who will return to
complete their studies after the war
is over,

The plan at Iowa provides for
gifts of not over $200 to each return-
ing student who needs assistance. A
fund will be collected by voluntary
contributions of 10c a week from
the students still in school, and this
money will be invested in U. S.
Defense Bonds.

The fund is being collected on a
group basis. Presidents of frater-
nities and sororities, leaders of dor-
mitories and such groups, are re-
sponsible for collecting their quotas.

Students who receive the $200 gifts
must have seen at least six months’
service in a U. S. armed force. Also
they must have attended the Uni-
versity of Iowa from October 15, 1940

to the time of induction or enlist-
ment, maintaining graduating grades
during this time.

Dr. Hartley, definitely enthusiastic
about the plan, declared, “It would
be a good way for us to cooperate
and help those boys who serve the
armed forces and whom we're going
to need badly as trained leaders
when this war js over.” He stated
that it would be a means of helping
both the country (by buying Defense
Bonds) and some of our own friends.

Mrs. Eggleston, also in favor of
the plan, believes that “it is a very
far sighted view of a college problem
which is going to become more and
more pressing,” and that it should
also provide for girls who are enter-
ing the army. However she raised
the question, “Suppose the fund were
not large enough to take care of the
number of people who return ?”

Dr. Jones, when approached on the
subject took out his pen and began
to figure. He estimated that there
would be approximately 900 students
here next year and that this num-
ber could provide a fund of only
$3600. “I don’t believe it would be

economically possible at State,” he
said. “It might work at the Untver-
sity of Iowa, but they have 7000 stu-
dents.”

“It's a little early to march the
boys off to the tune of a pension,”
declared Dr. Rienow when asked to
give his reactions on this idea. “The
motives are admirable but it's
stretching the truth a little to sug-
gest that such a plan would be a
major factor in improving morale.”
As he sees it, something of this kind
will be needed after the war is over,
but he doesn’t think we should bribe
the students to come back.

Admitting that there may have to
be some stimulis to get the boys
back and that the Iowa plan may
have merit in lightening some of the
government's many responsibilities,
Dr, Baker nevertheless questioned
whether such a plan would work.
“Effectiveness will depend much on
the psychological effect of the war
on the individual,” he declared. Be-
cause of the uncertainty of the fu-
ture, he agrees with Dr. Rienow that
the plan is a little premature.

Modern John Paul Jones
Is Milk, Hamburgers Hero

The spirit of '76 came back !
With the aid of 3 quarts of milk
and 4 hamburgers, a State Col-
lege senior became a twentieth
century John Paul Jones.

It all came about when one
nameless '42-er with a strong
desire to join the navy jour-
neyed to a distant city to take
his physical examination, Much
to our hero's dismay, he was
found lacking, not flat feet or
high blood pressure—he was
underweight !

Necessity is the mother of
invention. Our senior consumed
the above-mentioned milk and
hamburgers and dashed hack
(pardon us, staggered) to the
recruiting officials,

Again he mounted the scales
—they registered one pound over
the minimum weilght—he was

Newman Slates Bible Quiz

An intellectual battle of the sexes
concerning religion, biblical history,
and morals, in addition to the gen-
eral business meeting, will provide
an unusual program) at Newman
Hall on Thursday, February 19, at
7:30 P. M.

Men Find Cobwebs, Dust,
Coveted Banner Still Hidden

Two groups of men, crawling
stealthily through subterranean
passages, brushing cobwebs off
their faces, wiggling on their
stomachs through otherwise im-
penetrable holes, lifting dusty
panels in a vain search . . . That
was the sum total of Monday
night's banner rivalry.

Sophomores turned out in a
definite minority to brawl with
the freshmen diligently search-
ing for a banner they never
found. Lack of enthusiasm was
evident on both sides, despite
class meetings which were ex-
pected to enliven the men of
both cla 8.

The men didn't even seem
envious of the women's success.

Increase Seen
In Teaching Jobs,

Reports Bureau

War Emergency Opens
New Teaching Positions

Look at your prospects, State Col-
lege! This year’s prospects for se-
curing teaching positions look bright.
Last year’s definite increase in calls
is being reemphasized this year, re-
ports Miss Irene Semanek of the
Student Employment Bureau.

Primary reason for more job op-
portunities is of course laid to the
existing emergency. Records indi-
cate that fields in which men have
specialized will hold more chances
for women teachers, especially sci-
ence, mathematics and commerce.
A definite shortage of science teach-
ers is anticipated by schools because
of the number of men being drawn
out for selective service. Several of
the selectees have secured instruc-
torships in service branches.

Marriages Withdraw Women

Increase in the number of mar-
riages during war time tends to draw
some women out of the profession.
However SEB has had definite indi-
cations that a number of schools,
which have had the policy of not
hiring married women, will keep
them on if their husbands are in
service,

Salary Raise Anticipated

A few school principals feel that
they may have to raise the salary
scale to take care of the increased
cost of living. Not as many $1000
and $1100 positions as in the past are
anticipated, although some rural
communities cannot afford to in-
crease the salaries of their teachers.

Miss Semanek said that it Is a
little too early to predict absolutely,
but it looks as if the teaching picture
were changing. The war is having a
definite influence on the profession,
and it is feared that it will become
feminized again. The SEB is urging
all service men to keep in touch with
the bureau.

Scholarship Bill
Will Not Affect

State Students
Lack of Funds Blocks

Passage of Amendment

by Gravelle and Stengel

“State College students will not be
affected by any amendment to the
education law relating to State
scholarships,” declared Assembly-
man W. Milmoe, Chairman of the
Committee for Public Instruction, in
an exclusive interview with the
Strate Cow News this week, Be-
cause of insufficient funds to pro-
vide for the necessary appropria-
tion, Milmoe's bill proposing the
doubling of State scholarships is no
longer feasible. Had the bill been
passed, students already in posses-
sion of scholarships would receive
$100 for each regular term and the
same amount for summer sessions.

“However,” said Assemblyman
Milmoe, “it is generally accepted
that there will be a reapportionment
of scholarships in the case of those
students who complete three terms
in one year instead of the usual two

terms, These students will receive
$50 per term.”
As yet the legislature has not

taken action on the State College
budget. The appropriation for the
fiscal year of 1942 was less than
$200 below that for 1941, but various
college expenses showed a large
enough decrease from those of 1941
to account for an actual increase in
the budget as a whole.

An Editorial

“Keep 'em out” could refer to
the Japs or the Nazis (or pos-
sibly the moths), but it doesn’t.
It is something much easier to
accomplish —than keeping out
moths, at least. It's the lights
of the college — the electric
lights, we mean,

President Sayles has re-
quested that all students coop-
erate in keeping down electric
and gas bills by turning out all
lights when they are the last
persons to leave a room. You
wouldn't leave a ten-dollar bill
to its own devices—if you had
one, that is—would you? Well,
that's what you do when you
don't push that switch — you
Jeave valuable money wasting
away. And it really doesn't
cause much wear and tear on
your finger to “push the but-
ton.” So, whether you're on the
campus being educated or at
home — recovering from your
education — don't forget — it's
lights out!

Sports List

Action to discontinue Laseball as
a varsity sport was taken this week
by MAA Council headed by William
Dickson, '42, Curtailment of the
athletic programs of other colleges
has made this action necessary,

With a shortening of the spring
term only four games could be
scheduled this year. Hamilton, which
was to be our opponent in the first
two games has discontinued baseball,
We were to play RPI in the third
game which was scheduled for a
lime when RPI was holding exams,
Thus only sophomores would be
available to play and there were not
enough sophomor The only pos-
sible game would be the fourth one
in which we were to meet Pratt, and
it was thought unwise to sponsor a
baseball season for one game,

Lack of sufficlent material and a
10% cut in the MAA budget are fur-
ther reasons for this measure,

Coach Hatfleld says: “It ts too bad,
We need more than one thing to
afford relaxation for the boys in the
spring athletic program. We will put
more emphasis on tennis but we may
run Into similar trouble there."

William Dickson added In view
of the impracticability of continuing
baseball now MAA Council sincerely
hopes that it will again be an in-
tegral part of the athletic program
when more favorable conditions
make St possible,”
