Milne Addition Created
New Work Possibilities
Just as Milne High School has be-
came famous in educators’ circles as
a growing school, State students find
this growth extending to the very
halls of the practice school. This
year a new extension to the Milne
building has attracted a great deal
of attention.
The addition, three stories high,
will house several Milne activities,
‘The basement has been transformed
into a shop. Machines and equip-
ment for leatherwork, ceramics, and
Jewelry design will be set up there.
The Art department will hold forth
on the first floor above.
Space on the second iJoor has been
given to the Little Theater, with
complete equipment for staging dra-
matic productions. The third floor
will be taken over by the slome Eco-
nomics department, A practice kit-
chen will be included in the model
suite of rooms, which will be decor-
ated and furnished witn the aid of
those students entering those cour-
ses,
Completion of the building gives

Smoke, but no Fire
Well, we went to the bonfire! We ar-
rived at 8:00 o’clock, ten minutes prior to
the scheduled beginning. On the appointed
moment, the fire was started. As the wood
blazed, the college songs were sung—nice-
ly, with no particular enthusiasm,
As the fire increased in intensity, the
freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors
stepped further into the shadows, Then
came cheers and more singing. Everything
was done in a well-ordered fashion (except
for one song that kept cropping up during
every lull),
Everything was well-ordered. That
was the point. People attending a bonfire
should be at the height of some emotion,
A bonfire should not be there for a result
to be gained from it; it should be a result,
Let it be understood that this is not a
slam at what was done last Saturday night.
{t is what was not done that caused that
affair lo be so insipid. Speeches, humorous
preferred, for such an informal gathering,
could have improved everything greatly,
A history of the bonfire at State Col-
lege reveals that it first came as a spontan-
cou, get-together between the freshmen
and = sophomo. for the purpose of
“burying the hatchet,” It was the end of
mascot hunt, and the rivalry spirit of both
classes was at topmost pitch, A spur-of-
the-moment decision sent everyone scurry-
ing for wood, The program consisted of
“come what may,” and everybody had a
hilarious time, Tt was such a success that
it was decided to make it a tradition,
Can an emotional outburst be timed
and executed with faultless order lo make |
it a tradition? Saturday’s answer se’
to be in the negative. If the purpose was
to increase friendships, the bonfire was a
dismal failure, One came with one’s
friends, sang, ran around in a very serious
snakedance, and departed for home with
one's same friends,
Freshmen probably think that this is
Lectures and Laxity
By Edgar O’Hora
COMMENTSTATER:
The class of 1941 has been subjected to so many
lectures and speeches lately, that we hesitate to com-
mentstate at any length in their direction. We feel,
however, that it would not be superfluous at this time
to drop a word of advice, Activities day saw a fine
group of freshmen turn out and signify their interest
in State's various activities,
We sincerely hope that this show of interest will
mean more than just another signature on a scrap
of paper. State college has an extensive extra-
class program that is designed not only to provide
recreation for its students, but also to afford them
such Urnining and experience so as to enable them
to act as faculty advisors to any club or organization
they may be asked to proctor after they have entered
the teaching field,
Watch the News and the bulletin boards for no-
tice of a meeting of any activity you have signed up
for and make a date with yourself to attend, Pay
your dues and do your part toward making that
organization a better one,
hoe ee
We glanced around the assembly last Friday to
see how many took advantage of the fact that no
attendance record was taken and received the cus-
tomary shock at the laxity shown by State upper-
classmen in attending these gatherings.
These weekly assemblies are college appointments
that should be respected and treated the same as
any other class meeting. Attendance, all other ideas
to the contrary, is compulsory and each absence is
carefully recorded against the name of the absentee.
Although State college has no “cut” system, there is
a limit to the number of absences allowed each stu-
dent as a few of Dean Nelson's visitors can testify.
On the other hand, there is also the advantage
of being excused from the formality of handing in
written excuses for absences all during the following
semester if you have a minimum of absences through-
out the present semester.
Assignment of assembly seats will be posted on
the main bulletin, Find out where your seat is and
occupy it each week,
Appointment Bureau
‘The Appointment Bureau interviews which will be
conducted soon are now a puzzling matter to most
students, Their sole and simple purpose is to acquaint
the Appointment Bureau with the people it will have
to recommend for teaching positions,
The interview is to consist of a friendly chat in
which the individual tastes and preferences of the
seniors and graduates will be made known to the
Bureau. An anticipation of the questions to be
asked and a concise answer prepared will greatly
facilitate matters during the interview,
‘The Bureau's two-fold purpose of this meeting, is,
then, to obtain relevant information and to acquaint
itvelf with the seniors and graduate students,

Densmore, president of the Student
association,
Voting on the Senior “mosts" will
be first in order. As a result of this
tabulation the following will be
chosen: the most beautiful girl and
the most handsome man; the most
popular girl and the most popular
man, and the girl and man who are
most representative of State college,
In addition to the four girls who
were chosen last week as nominees
for Campus Queen revotes will be
taken for the choice of the fifth
nominee. The four favored ones
thus far are: Dorothy Cain, Janet
Dibble, Muriel Goldberg and Lucille
Zak. It was impossible to determine
the fifth candidate because of the
misspelling of the name, Olsson, (or
Olsen), there being in the senior
class one Anna Olsen and also one,
Anna Olsson. Five or six different
spellings of this name resulted in
complete confusion in counting the
ballots. This does not mean voting
will be restricted to these two girls.
Student body may vote for any oth-
er girl in the Senior class except
anyone of the four already chosen,
The sophomores who were chosen
last week as candidates for the of-
fice of Student Association secre-
tary; Larry Balog, Joseph Cappiello,

for the office, If the oratory and

prove as interesting and well-prepar-

much to look forward to,

Commission Head
Announces Rules
Logan States Regulations
to Keep Campus Clean
During the Year
Campus Commission, headed by
Sally Logan, '38, has announced new
rulings for the coming year, As an-
nounced in assembly, they are:
1, The bulletin board must be kept
free of notices which do not con-
cern a good percentage of the stu-
dent body. With the exception of
faculty notices, permission must. be
secured from Miss Logan, This rul-
ing applies to all bulletin board:
which do not belong to some indivi-
dual organization of the college,
2, Only notes of at least three by |
five inches should be placed in the
mailbox, Any smaller will be re-
moved, as they are hard to handle,
Homework papers or circulars should
be kept out, Also, students should
not have money sent them {n school,
as no responsibility is assumed by
the college or student authorities in
case of loss. Letters containing
money, and all other mail should be
sent to the Albany address of the
student, and not to the college, since
it arrives quicker and safer that way,

Regarding the Library Marals
by Robert E. Hertwig
Ts that supposed to be State col-
lege? Who are all the people on the
campus? Who Is the lady with the
baby in her arms? Is that Ben
Franklin down there in the other
panel?
All these and many other are the
questions that have been asked
about the added panels to the
murals on the library wall in Gide-
on Hawley hall, After much research
and many interviews, the Nuws re-
porter discovered the following in-
teresting facts,
The murals are composed of
scenes depicting various stages in
the history of Albany and vicinity,
with a continuous skyline to give
them continuity,
‘The panels on the north wall were
completed last year, while the east
wall and parts of the south wall
were covered during the past sum-
mer, When the work {s completed,
all of the walls will be covered,
‘The various scenes and their loca-
tion on the walls are;
Panel I—over the entrance from
the peristyle—shows Henry Hudson's
Fall Moon sailing up the Hudson
river;
Panel II—on the left of the arch
—
— shows @ stage coacn with four
horses in front of the original Van
Rensselaer Manor House;
Panel 11J—the left half within the
arch—is based on an old picture of
Albany supposed to have been made
in France in 1783 and represents the
beaver trade and the sloops carrying
skins to New York, (Albany was or-
iginally called Beaverwyck, becauso
of its beaver trade);
Panel IV—the right half within
the arch—is based on a picture of
State Street in 1805,
Panel V—to the right o: the arch
-Is a pleture of the Constitutional
House in Kingston, A secretary {s
reading the Federal Constitution to
the crowd gathered,
Panel VI—over Miss Cobb's office
—presents the artist's conception of
the Erie Canal as be remembered it
from his boyhood days.
The new panels across the eastern
wall of the hall picture such histor!-

road station which was discarded in
