Students Vote To Settle Problem
Of Tennessee School Integration
By JOHN YAGER
The town of Clinton, Tennessee
is in the spotlight again this week.
For the past three months the offi-
cials of Clinton High School have
been trying to comply with the
Supreme Court decision on integra-
tion, For the past three months,
they have been unsuccessful in their
efforts.
Assault On Minister
Eight Negrq students had enrolled
in Clinton High, but they found that
the “unwelcome” mat had been put
out by a minority of the white stu-
dents. Lest week, the Negro stu-
dents stayed home for four days
after a series of “insults” had been
cast on them by a few of the whites.
Finally, a Baptist minister escorted
six of the Negro children to school,
only to be assaulted later. The
school’s principal, D. J. Brittain
Jr., immediately closed the school
temporarily due to the unrest,
Voters Veto Violence
On the day of the assault, village
elections were held in Clinton. A
ticket favoring integration and a
ticket favoring segregation were on
the ballot. As soon as word of the
assault on the minister spread
throughout the town, the people
went to the polls in great numbers,
Car Pool Arranges
Holiday Transportation
A car pool offering rides to any-
place in the state for the Christmas
vacation has been organized, accord-
ing to Donald McClain, '59,
Students desirous of obtaining
rides, and those with cars who have
extra passenger space, are requested
to sign up at the desk in lower
Draper today.
This is the only type of special
vacation transportation for the holi-
day as their are no special vacation
trains,
The integration ticket won the
election by a three to one majority.
The people of Clinton have shown
the world that they are vehemently
opposed to violent action.
“Benevolent” States
Meanwhile, Federal Judge Robert
L. Taylor ordered the arrest of six-
teen Clinton residents, including
two women, for interferring with
the integration process. Judge Tay-
lor set their trial date for January
28. The attorneys general of Texas,
Georgia, and Louisiana are going
to “advise” the defense counsel dur-
ing the trial. We are sure the
people of Texas, Georgia and
Louisiana can find enough work at
home for their attorneys general
instead of letting them interfere
with a case in Tennessee!
Minority Mob
Although the majority of the peo-
ple of Clinton seem to be opposed
to integration, they have indicated
that they do not condone violent
action. They are willing to abide by
the law. The school authorities and
town officials had urged compliance
with the law. Out of an enrollment
of over seven hundred white stu-
dents in the Clinton High School,
only about forty took part in the
insult tactics, Authorities have
blamed outside agitators for the
disorders.
Students Back Stand
Today, Clinton High School stu-
dent are back in their classes. The
student body has overwhelmingly
endorsed the principal's stand of
complying with the integration or-
der. Students who are found guilty
of misconduct over the integration
issue will be expelled from school.
If the authorities continue to
prosecute the violent racial segre-
gationists, and if the townspeople
continue to work in harmony, se-
gregation in the Clinton school
system will become a thing of the
past.
Freshmen Win
State Awards
Oscar E, Lanford, Dean of the
College, announces that sixteen ad-
ditional New York State Regents
College Scholarships have been
awarded to members of the fresh-
man class. It had previously been
reported that seventy-seven regular
scholarships and eleven special sci-
ence scholarships had been award-
ed, making a total of eighty-eight
scholarships. At present, there are
104 recipients of the State scholar-
ships.
The additional holders of the
scholarships are Katherine Aldous,
Joanna Babcock, Janis E. Clum,
Joseph F, Conroy, Isabell Dalzell,
John A. Eckelman, David Feldman,
Mary Alice Gird, Solveig L. Hans-
sen, Margaret L. Hawver, Angela N.
LoVerde, Phyllis H. Mallory.
Sonja D, Pelton, Miriam Ptalis,
Peter J. Savarie, Ann Scott, Ger-
trude L. Sufrin, and Sandra L.
Zitko.
Last year the New York State
Regents offered a new scholarship
to those High School Seniors with
a major in Math or Science. This
scholarship consists of $500 for each
of five years while the student pur-
sues his indicated course of study.

Student Council:
Council To Use
Big Four Fund
To Publish State College Songbook
By EMIL POLAK
Student Council convened Wed-
nesday evening with ‘Clyde Payne
‘57, wielding the gavel. Included in
the agenda were committee reports
and discussions of the Big Four
Pund, and the Foreign Student
Pund.
Because of the problem of the
inability of several members of the
Student Board of Finance to attend
meetings, Donald Rice '58 moved
that Article 8, Section 1A of the
Student Association Constitution be
replaced with the following repre-
sentation listing five Juniors, seven
Sophomores, and three freshman,
thereby deleting the original repre-
sentation of sixteen members in-
cluding three seniors. Student
Council passed the motion that it
be recommended for the passage by
Student Association at the January
4 Convocation.
Student Council passed the Rival-
ry Committee’s recommendation
that a clean-up committee from
each class be appointed to police
Dorm field after activities and that
each rival class spend a maximum
of $10 for activities excluding the
skit which is to cost a maximum of
$25.00 per class. Council also passed
the motion to abolish the traditional
banner hunt and in lieu of the track
and field events men’s and women's
basketball games be held. Also
passed was the motion to have out-
siders be judges of the rivalry de-
bate and sing rather than M; ia,
which supplements the intention of
furthering the new rivalry proced-

to have two representatives of the
Junior Class chosen by Myskania
to serve as advisors in rivalry to the
freshman class.
Sally Harter '58 reported for the
State College Revue Committee that
the two scripts submitted by the
students were unacceptable. Stu-
dent Council then moved that for
the State College Revue a Broadway
production be used with funds to
be used from surplus.
Student Council passed the mo-
tion to change Parents Weekend to
Parents Day with the anticipation
of having more parents come up.
David Kendig ‘57 proposed, after
very lengthy deliberation, the solu-
tion of what to do with the Big
Four Fund. Council passed his mo-
tion that the fund be used to under-
write the expenses for the publica-
tion of a Songbook to be sold with
funds to be returned to the Big
Four Fund. The songbook, which is
to contain College songs and their
histories, is to be published by the
Traditions Committee of Myskania

STATE COLLEGE NEWS, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1957
1984?...
To have government revision or not. To have politi-
cal parties or not. These are the questions, and the answers
lie right there in your hands, Juniors, Sophomores and
freshmen, Tuesday at 10 a.m. a joint meeting will be held
in Page Hall Auditorium for all the members of the classes,
of ’58, 59, and ’60. Revisions in State College government
emphasizing the possible creation of political parties on
campus, will be discussed openly. Here is your opportunity
to indicate to your class representatives to Student Coun-
cil just how you feel about this issue. It is your obligation
as a member of Student Association to attend this meeting
and to express your views. You are the one that this mat-
ter will affect. It is from you that Student Council, which
is responsible for initiating any innovations in govern-
mental procedures, must acquire the basis for its decision.
You are the primary source from which Council must
draw its definite conclusions—your suggestions, ideas, and
opinions are of outstanding value to this branch of our
legislative body.
As for revision itself—do we need it? Take a look
around at the next legislative Convocation meeting, count
the number of resignations from class and government
offices, and evaluate the capabilities of those individuals
that run for an office. It is only between the clicking of
knitting needles, the scratching of pens, and the rattling of
newspapers that a motion is ever voted on by the student
body assembled in Convocation. The seats are filled, yes,
but only by a blank face populace that seldom realizes what
issue is at stake when it raises its hand. Now, what is your
answer?
How About It? ...
Last week, while most of us were enjoying a short
break from college studies, Governor Harriman sent his
annual budget to the State Legislature for approval. The
largest appropriation in the budget is approximately 597
millions of dollars for the expansion and improvement of
education in the Empire State, and of more vital interest
to us, of the State University.
Construction money for a new !ibrary and planning
money for the desperately needed and long-overdue gym-
nasium here at State are included in the appropriation.
But, let’s not jump to the conclusion that the fate
of these projects rests only on the action of the State Street
legislators, for the student body of this college, as well as
those of the other branches of SUNY, can do their part
in securing sorely needed facilities, Most of the money in
the Governor's budget slated for State University expan-
sion is included in a 250 million dollar bond issue to be
placed before the voters in the November election. At pres-
ent, the passage of the bond issue is somewhat in doubt.
We can do our part in removing that doubt!
At present, one of the committees out of Student
Council is the Inter-Collegiate Association, an association
of ten of the eleven State Teachers Colleges. Student
Council could recommend to the local ICA committee that
they promote, along with the other member schools, a
campaign to place the bond issue and the necessity of its
assage before the eyes of the voter. A campaign of this
ype might consist of letters home to parents and friends,
and to the letter column of hometown newspapers. ICA is
the most logical group to conduct such a campaign, since
it is the only existing link among the student bodies of
the Teachers Colleges.
We urge the members of Student Council and ICA to
give consideration to this proposal, The other schools lack
facilities as much as State. We want the gymnasium; we
want the library. Do we want to sce what we can do in
assuring the passage of the bond issue?

Communications
To the Editor:
Our student government, formu-
Jated as Student Association, is
making progress: apathy has been
replaced by jeering. In a few more
years, critical evaluation might fol-
low, at this rate. But—do we have
to wait?
Many groups, as they grow larger,
substituted representative democ-
racy for town meeting; State now
has a population of 2000. Let's
think about it, Is Student Council,
increased by ten this year, doing its
best? To the possible surprise of
Thursday morning quarterbacks, it
is doing a good job, But is it pos-
sible that if there were more com-
petition for seats, it would be better?
Let's think about it. Is Myskania
a popularity contest? Or is it (or
could it be) a body to uphold and
exemplify the best in our school
and a means of recognizing the
truly outstanding? Let’s think about
it.
The conclusion (nine)? Reduce
SC to ten, refer legislation back to
classes instead of at SA legislative
convocations, keep Myskania but
change our attitude toward it, In
other words, subordinate personal-
ities to values in elections, and stop
doing and judging everything in
terms of “pushing for Myskania.”
And it might be logical to turn all
elections and voting over to Elec-
t.u.s Commission,
Finally: government isn't just an
activity! Offices should be filled
according to interest and capabil-
ity, But, as to the extent that the
government affects us, we have the
right and the responsibility to form,
maintain, and cooperate with it.
Let's think about it, ‘s talk
about it, let's do something!

Don't criticize this column; you may be asked to write it next week!
SIMPLY STATED
What fools are we who try to say
The things we should in a truthful way.
We've both rushed in where angels fear
To have our views, each week, appear.
We're certain that whatever we write
Is bound to cause a little fight
But think twice before you disagree
And say to yourself “Who are we?”
If all opinions emerged the same
No one would have no one to blame.
We'll try our best to be aware
And write our comments with utmost care.
You, our readers, may be fine debators
But we are only the “Common-Staters.”
LITTLE GEMS OF WISDOM
Have you been noticing the Lucky Strike Sticklers? How about this
one?—The definition of silent period—“crushing-rushing.”
To all third quarter Milne Student Teachers—“Good afternoon Ladies
and Gentlemen."
‘The attendance for the expected appearance of Governor Harriman

We like the subtle advertising for the “Rat Morte"—notice those
beards.
Cafeteria Chatter: Freshman—"Oh, I'm so happy!—I got a ‘D’ in

Another Frosh—“Gee, I'm pretty lucky to still be
here with a 0.9 average since I
hear that they kicked a Senior
out with a 2.2."

We were glad to see the fine tryouts for “Plain and Fancy” even

As they swing into the final half of the season, the
varsity basketball squad will be as busy as a bunch of
. beavers; playing eight games during the current month
and three in the first week of March. Of these eleven, six
will be played in the lower ‘‘cubby hole” of Page, our home
gymnasium. In the first half of the season, Coach Sauers’
charges took all five home games, the closest contest being
the one with New Haven
Speaking of our home gym,
it was called to the attention of ye scribe that a small sec-
tion of the Western Avenu end of the floor is beginning
to buckle. If this continue, it’s going to be fun watching
the players go over mounds in the floor to score points.

The intramural keglers got back
to clearing the pins off the Rice

couple of weeks off to clear the
library reserve shelves. Thanks to
a beautifully working handicap sys-
tem all but one team found itself
able to gain the top slot within a
veek or two in a league that's as
wide open as the old west.
As of Wednesday, the Gutterdust-
ers were able to hang onto a slender
one game lead. Ridge, meanwhile,
found itself running ahead of a
three team pack of the Vets, SLS
and APA by the same small margin.
Vets High!
In high game laurels thus far the
power-packed team of Sullivan and

Vets — stand second to no one. Be-
sides possessing a high 886 individ-

with a 765.4 game average.
Not to be outdone the Gutterdust-

triple besides looking up to no one

Tom Tops
After relinquishing his top slot
to newcomer Don Dame for a period
of exactly seven days Tom Sullivan
again fears no kegler encroaching
on his 178.8 average. Just for kicks,

This barren land since the ume of

jaz, and smashed British plans to
divide the country. When Abdul
died in 1953 he controled all of this
mysterious peninsula except Yemen.
The man of the black tent had
unified his country through the
only two methods known to him
physical violence, and bribery.
The Weapon
The 1938 oil was discovered,
overnight the Saudi family held the
scepter of power and wealth in the
middle east. The land belonged to
them hence all royalties from it, Oil
pays for the Cadillacs, palaces, even
the air conditioned Riyadh Rai road
that runs nowhere. The “Black
Gold" of the world has such im-
portance that American oil com-
panies such as Aramaco must follow
such rules as no alcohol and no
Christian worship on their installa-
tions. The United States govern-
ment must also train and equip the
Saudi Army and mobilize new oll
if it wants to keep the
oil concessions and the
strategic Dahran airbase. This is
the price the United States must
pay to keep its eagles flying.
The Man
In 1953 Abdul Saud, the old king
of Arabia died; into his place step-
ped Ibn Saud, the new king, Old or
new it made no difference, the Saud
family came first, the country sec-
ond, The country’ remained one of
mud huts, dates, camels, and pov-
erty, The wells pumped the liquid
gold but disease struck in the cities,
even in the holy cities of Mecca
end Medina, Disease that even
struck a little six-year-old boy, all
this would go unnoticed in this
land of sword and immorality had
not the little boy been the son of
Tbn Saud, oil baron. Saud was in-
vited to visit the United States and
with him came the little boy for
treatment. The tall man in the flow-
ing robes, blind in one eye, was per-
sonally greeted by President Eisen-
hower, an honor afforded no one
else on this globe. Ibn Saud po
st the oil and we the knowledge
to utilize it. There are no blind
sheep in this game of international
polities.
The Incident
In this world there are many peo-
ple, some intelligent, some other-
wise. One such person almost
wrecked American foreign policy by
trying to act as a crusader. How-
ever, the federal administration
stepped in and saved the day by tak-
ing over the duties of the self-
styled Savarnrola, President Eisen-
hower summed it up aptly when he
said, “We do not talk just with
those we like but with those we dis
like if we are to achieve our goals.
King Saud may not be running a
model utopia in Saudi Arabia but
for the time being we must be part-
hers with him till death do us par
Record Rewi Greeks Feature Open House; .
By FRANK VETOSKY
Album Reviews
Ella Fitzgerald, generally accred-
ited as being the first lady of jazz,
certainly lives up to this standard
in her new two disc LP package on
Verve entitled “Ella Fitzgerald Sings
the Rogers and Heart Song Book.”
Thirty-four numbers are treated
here as they've never been done be-
fore. Miss Fitzgerald sounds re-
freshing on each number; there are
never any tired tones to be heard
as one might expect from a lesser
artist. It's hard to honestly report
which rendition is the best because
each is first rate.
Doris Day
“Day by Day” is the name of a
song, It is also the title given to a
new album release by Doris Day
on Columbia, Selections from this
LP will be featured on D. J. pro-
grams for a long time to come. Miss
Day's intimate styling of the twelve
standards she offers here has never
been excelled. This package will
make Day fans go wild and music
lovers in general marvel at her fine
vocalizing.
Frank Sinatra
Frank Sinatra once again proves
why he is the disc jockey’s favorite
male vocalist, in his new album re-
lease for Capitol. It's called “Close
to You.” Sinatra interprets a dozen
ballads here in his own unmatch.
able phrasings, Besides the title
song, “P.S. I Love You" and “Blame
It On My Youth" are among the
tunes included, To enhan Sin-
atra's * clas vocalizing, the Holly-
wood String Quartet has been em-
ployed to supply the backing.
Tony Bennet
Tony,” a new album by Tony
Bennet on Columbia, should soon
be one of the top selling albums in
the country, Ballads are tastefully
inter-mixed with some very good
up tempo numbers to produce a very
listenable package. This is Bennet’s
first dozen deal for Columbia in a
long while and should satisfy his
long list of fans who have eagerly
awaited it.
