The Sophomores and freshmen
have been outstanding in blood

the problem, It asks that. Juniors

Gootlight Fanfare
by Joan Berbrich
A parallel between the year 1776 in the history of America and 1944
in State College may someday be drawn—this year, a new party, which
will be called the Independent Progressive Party, will begin its existence
in State. This new organization, initiated and organized by Cis
Goldberger, '45, will have unlimited membership and will be open to
all State students, non-sorority or otherwise.
The purpose of the organization is to form a united political group
to back and encourage independent candidates as well as sorority candidates
for student offices and position. For a number of years few nominations
of non-sorority students nave been made due to a general air of defeatism
that has existed among the independents. Also, the question of whether
a girl is in the right sorority has sometimes played a part in her eventual
success or failure when running for an office. Through this organization,
to which anyone may belong. it is hoped that the candidates for an office
will conduct a wider and more extensive campaign to make themselves
known to the entire student body. A more intelligent and less partisan
vote may then be expected. The school will thus be assured of having
officers who represent the entire student association and not just a small
homogenous group.
In the first meeting of the organization which will be held in Room 20
at 3:30 P.M. Monday, a Constitution will be discussed, general policies
planned, and an affair similar to the Big Ten events decided upon. Based
on a Negro theme, the show will be a choral reading directed and acted by
members of the Independent Progressive Party, probably on April 21. Pro-
ceeds from the show will go into a common fund together with the results of
the original Big Ten.
Coming as a result of gathering discontent among many individuals of
the student body, this organization, Miss Goldberger feels, has a definite
and important place to fill in the politics, government, and representation
of State College.
Lack of student interest in school affairs has been lamented a great
deal this year. The main point seems to have been that the majority of
students not belonging to a sorority or a fraternity did not have any
bonds or any means of gaining information on vital questions in the school.
Therefore their disinterest grew out of a feeling of impotency because
these students felt that politics were beyond their control. The power
naturally fell into the hanus of a few.
Now a new political party is being formed, one which can voice the
feelings of these same students and can translate them into action.

Srare Conece News, Feb. 26, 1943
As the above plebians so ably stated their case a
year ago, so I, too, as strictly from hunger and the
fact that one Rhona Ryan was otherwise employed
Tuesday night. But, though I have been adjudged a
poor choice by those-who-know, I shall endeavor to
use mere Soph intelleet to full advantage.
The first play of the evening, directed by Barbara
Putnam, was an English comedy of the 1900's. And a
very neat job that, Miss Putnam. Would that more
directors spend as much time on their productions,
Her assistants, too, deserve credit for the set, lighting,
and costumes.
To Teddy Fine and Kippy Marsh go dramatics
honors of the week, Both gave more than adequate
performances. My only wish is that Kippy had been
on the stage more often; she actually seemed the
pathetic wife, stifled by male egotism. As for Teddy
this is the first time I have seen her on the Page
Hall stage, and at this point my enthusiasm knows
no bounds. She was perfectly at ease; every gesture
came naturally and had meaning. I have but one
criticism to offer, and that a minor one; her accent
was a bit spotty and amateurish. That, however, is a
point for all dramatic aspirants to remember.
Jack Dorn was merely acceptable in his portrayal
of the husband whose desire for material success
suffocated the personalities of those with whom he
came in contact. Unfortunately, Dorn must yet con-
quer the nervousness resulting in hand clutching and
awkward stage movement. And perhaps his hesitancy
would vanish if he learned and remembered dialogue
cues.

proper amount of direction, it remained a rather sad
affair, The characters were, for the most part, unreal;
the actors merely sticks planted on the refusing
the response that so essential.
Martha Joyce was perhaps the most convincing
actress on the stage, but even she was inconsistent.
At times she was too strong for a sick woman, and
her final insane urge was under-emoted. One did not
become engrossed in the mood of fear that supposedly
was pervading the stage.
Here are a few pleas which I fervently hope shall
be treated with respect: that chairs and hassocks be
arranged with the sight line in mind; that stage diction
be clear; that dresses of middle-aged women be the
same length; and that curtains be pulled promptly.

STATE COLLEGE NEWS, FRIDAY, MARCH 17, 1944
Literary Contest
To Close May 5
Dr. Shields McIlwaine, Professor
of English and director of this year’s
Leah Lovenheim contest, announces
» that the deadline for submitting
manuscripts is May 5. The liter-
ature called for includes stories,
poems, and essays. The contest is
open to all undergraduate students
of the College.
This year, the $25 prize will be
divided as follows: $5 for the best
poem; $10 for the best short story;
and $10 for the best piece of non-
fiction. The $25 is contributed each
year by Mr. Jerome Lovenheim, Am-
sterdam attorney, in honor of his
mother, Leah Lovenheim, an alumna
of State College. This year is the
twenty-first year in which the con-
test has been held.
In the non-fiction category fall
personal essays and biographical
sketches or portraits. Last year, only
thirty-two non-fiction manuscripts
were submitted. According to Dr. Mc:
Tiwaine, there should be at least fifty
non-fiction papers to intensify com-
petition, and he hopes that more
interest will be shown in this type
of literature for the 1944 contest,
Miss Vivian Hopkins and Miss
Dorothy Koch, both instructors in
English, will be judges of the short
stories and the non-fiction manu-
ripts, respectively; and Dr, Mc-
Tiwaine will judge the poetry
e no definite restrictions
as to the form of writing or the
length of the manuscripts. Any
further information regarding the
contest will be posted on the bulletin
boards.

In Frosh Stamp Drive
“Would you trust your boy-

With words, like these, the
Frosh have opened their first
week at the Stamp Booth in low-

couple of days, the Stamp Booth
had been just the same old place
to gather at with some friends

Then some Gremlin received a

Above the Stamp Booth, in a

the patriotic seller, hangs a rub-

Rickenbacker used, the type that
has saved hundreds of lives,
but it's falling apart with age!

In Debate Tomorrow
Spring try-outs for the Varsity
debate teams and Debate Council
will be held next Wednesday in Dr.
Hardy's office, second floor Draper,
between 11 P. M. and 1:30 P, M.
Try-outs are for Freshmen, Sopho-
mores, and Juniors, a special em-
phasis being placed on upperclass-
men.
Students trying out at this time
should have prepared a two-minute
speech on some phase of post-war
planning. The speech may deal with
the political, economic, social, or
cultural angle of the post-war world,
or with any other phase. Speeches
will be judged, not so much on con-
tent, as on presentation.
These try-outs are essential to
any student who desires to partici-
pate in formal debating or panel
discussions next year, Debate Coun-
cil, which has been reorganized this
year, is near the completion of an
active schedule. Varsity debates
have to date met such teams as
Middlebury, Union, Cornell, and
several others, and had several
debates scheduled which were can-
celled, usually due to poor trans
portation facilities.
Several intramural debates or dis-
cussions are still to be held, and a
debate with Hobart ts scheduled for
tomorrow. The intramural debate,
which was to have been held in
assembly last Friday, was cancelled
in crder to hold a business meeting.
Dr. William Hardy, the present
faculty advisor of Debate Council,
plans to leave for the service within
a short Lime. Dr, Hardy's suecessor

To many of us there comes a time when the road which we will take
becomes hard and rugged and we wonder if somewhere, we failed to turn
at the right signpost. To others of us there is only one direction in which
we can move and stirred by an inner compulsion we fight on in that
direction.
In some of us there remains a faith in the worthiness of man and
a compunction to fight for the maintenance of his freedom, Others of
us are tortured by fears and doubts and feel that man is exploited by
man and that phrases which lead us into dark and devious ways are but
empty phrase:

who ask themselves if they must help their own by fighting

STATE COLLEGE NEWS, FRIDAY, MARCH 17, 1944
Bert Kiley
Not that you won or lost
But how you played the game.
The above is one of the two sports
maxims that have siuck in our
mind. It seemed particularly ap-
propriate in its original setting—
hanging in the room of one of the
best sportsmen and nicest fellows
ever seen hereabovts—Bill Haller,
The other slogan was also apro-
pos of its setting. Perhaps more ap-
plicable to war tactics than the for-
mer, it being in the dressing room
of the Albany High football team.
It said:
Results, not excuses.
Gripe, Vintage '42
An item came up in the recent
Myskania tiff that is of enough
universal import to warrant rehash-
ing. We refer to the reading of
Bernie Skolsky's letter, This letter,
or parts of it, was read in assembly
and reprinted in the G.I. column.
We hope Bernie didn’t know what
he was doing. He was using his
position as a soldier to give an emo-
tionalized appeal for a status quo
State. He did not hesitate to speak
for the entire group of State stu-
dents in the service. The fallacy
becomes more apparent when one
considers that Bernie was never a
typical State student. However, he
would have made Myskania.
Any individual who uses this
“soldier” devise is guilty of cashing
in on the war, Rickenbacker did it
last year. Others have pulled it
since. It will be used in national
and world politics in the near future
to gain selfish ends, It's easy to
spot if you're looking for it. Watch
out—it’s dangerous.
With all this quavering-voice
“boys out there” business floating
around, we can't help recalling a
day in the fall of '42, when some of
our “patriots” were quite nasty
about refunding a half year's Stu-
dent Tax to State students who
would leave for the Armed Forces
before the end of the first semeste
‘The purpose of the "no refund" was
to protect the secret surplus, which
since has been clipped for its items
ranging from curtains to Kiley's
picture, The total refunds would
have amounted to about 35 dollars,
An interesting epiloque is the fact
that when one student left this
year, she asked for and got her
refund

Sayles Hall Triumphs Twice
Psi Gam, Phi
Newman, Gamma Kaps,
KD’s, Rares Conquer
The WAA basketball league had
a busy week with seven games being
played off and the league standings
becoming more definite.
Hollis proved the star of the Gam-
ma Kap - Moreland game. The
spunky Moreland frosh led her team
from an almost complete shutout at
the half to within 7 points of the
winning Gamma Kap squad. The
game started off slow but livened
up after the halfway mark to end
with the Morelanders trailing 23-16.
Rares Triumph
Wren met the Rares in a slow-
moving encounter. Davidson turned
in her usual capable job to pace the
Rares to a 20-11 win.
In a fast, rough game, Sayles came
from behind after trailing for the
first three periods to eke out a 25-
23 victory over Newman. The Sayles
aggregation showed some well de-
veloped passwork, Daly and O’Grady
sparked their team, while their
guards did some hard fighting on
the other side of the floor.
Phi Delt, led by Seymour and
Braithwaite, came from behind
after trailing Gamma Kap for three
quarters, to win 30-24, In the last

To MAA Book
Players Wanted

Softball is just around ‘the next

enough talent. In normal times there
are ten men relegated to each team.
On occasion players have been heard
to complain that the other team was

using eleven. However, an umpire
should never be considered a player.
The Roving Reporter
Several men have been interview-
ed as to their desire for tripping
over the sod diamonds, Herb Brock
said that he had too much to do.
Dave Lehman was sent by the idea
and expressed his willingness to
play, Bert Kiley, who hit the first
home-run in last year’s intramural
play, was also agreeable to the sug-
gestion. This is three, but there
should be some men among the in-
coming freshmen who like to wave
the willow wand at a high hard one.
If there are, please get in touch with
Kiley at the P.O.
In former years, softball was one
of the big athletic events of the
Frosh-Soph rivalry. Because of the
shortage of men last year no game
was played, but in 1942 the sopho-
mores roundly trounced the fresh-
men 14-3 and won the three points
that were then awarded for the
game. If the sophomores could
scrape together a team the fresh-
men fellows might have a chance
to win a few points for thelr class.
Them Were the Days
Intramural softball has seen some
rather interesting races in the last
few years. The type of games that
were played is best shown in the
EEP-KB fracas of May, 1942, KB
was off to a 10-0 lead in the first
inning only to have Potter win it 11-
10. The climax of the game came
when Bill Dickson of EEP hit a
story-book home-run with a man on
bi to win the game.
Softball is quite
baseball in many respect:
In outward appearances softball
looks very much like ball, but
in addition to the ten men per Leam,
it is played with a larger ball, a
smaller bat and bases that are thirty
feet nearer to each other than they
are in hard ball. The players also
wear sneakers instead of spikes, All
these things make a fast, exciting
game. Also, it gives the femme
fatales of State something Lo swoon
about.

court was the scene of one of
the hardest fought games of the
rivalry series. The green and white
squad came through with a 37-32
win over the Sophs as a result of
an overtime period.
The well organized teamwork of
the Frosh sextet gave Dunn, Gro-
den and Vernoy, and ‘46's defense,
a great deal of trouble. Despite the
difficulty encountered by the Soph
defense, they were sucessful in
holding Baker to two baskets
The Frosh score ran up as they
dropped one free throw after another
due to eighteen fouls committed by
the Sophs.
Russo was the spearhead on the
Frosh offensive and led her team to
victory with 23 points. Margot and
Sweeney, guards on the Frosh squad,
obstructed the scoring efforts of
Seymour and Slack. In spite of this
opposition, Seymour walked off with
15 points followed closely by Slack

In the overtime period the Gremlins
gained six points, forcing the Sulli-

the request of Signum Laudis in

items of business on the program

the newly-elected Signum Laudis
members by Dr. John M. Sayles,
President of the College, and voting
on the Big Ten motion which was
tabled until this week.
‘Twenty Years at State
Dr, Thompson or “Dr. Tommy" as
he was affectionately referred to by
students and faculty is one of the
legends in State College history, For
more than twenty years, Dr, Thomp-
son was one of the most beloved
teachers at State. His history is
briefly and factually summarized in
Who's Who in America, giving his
birthplace as Buffalo, New York,
1891, In 1912, he obtained his Ph. B.
at Hamilton College, his A. M, at
Harvard in 1913, and his Ph. D. at
Harvard in 1915. In addition to
his other honors, he is a Fellow of
the Guggenheim Foundation, and
the recipient of numerous honorary
degrees including those from Edin-
burgh University, Union College and
others.
What Who's Who in America can-
not describe can best be supplied by
the professors and students who have
known him. Dr. Thompson was
specifically listed in the catalogue
as “Harold William Thompson, Pro-
fessor in English,” but in substance
he was the founder of the Music
Department at State and managed
to find time to be its music director
from 1920-24, A man of many diver-
sified talents, Dr, Thompson {s also
an outstanding critic of church and
organ music,
