Campus Days in Previous Years
Have Presented Varied Events
by Charles Walsh o
It was on October 20, 1920, that
State college students got together
on the campus, “for a day of sport,”
under the direction of the Physical
education club,
The program has always consisted
of athletic contests between the
classes on a Saturday afternoon,
with festivities following in the
evening, These have been climaxed | to
by the coronation of the Campus
Queen from 1922 on, Other features
of that Campus day in 1922 were
relays of Eskimo running and ele-
phant running, The first queen was
@ member of Myskania, as have been
all of her successors save three. She
was attended by five girls in Greek
robes with headresses of their class
colors, This year, 1922, was also
marked by the presentation of the
first stunts,
In 1923 the theme of the day was
@ circus. The events were conduct-
ed in the gymnasium, each class
presenting one act in the circus,
while clowns amused the crowd be-
tween the acts,
Former programs have even in-
cluded faculty participation, At one
point the high spot of the day was
a “faculty sack race,” while every-
body gathered around for a basket
lunch in the evening,
Myskania held control over the
activities of the day from 1923 to
1935, when Student council took over
the arrangements as a result of a
revision of the college constitution
in the preceding year.
Historically, Campus day reached
its peak in 1924. On that memor-
able occasion, Colgate university met
the State gridders at Ridgefield
Park. According to the News of
the time the State team scored a
moral victory, Colgate winning by
the comparatively close score of 33
0.
‘Traditions began in 1900 when
State college had 100 per cent pay-
ment of Student tax and a football
team, Today we have reacquired
payment of the tax, and our men’s
athletic program 1s on the up-grade,
so we can feel that tradition has
been upheld,
In 1928-1930, student participation
was so active that it was necessary
to issue tickets of admission,
‘This year marks the 17th anniver-
sary of Campus day as a State col-
lege institution, The program will
differ but slightly, if at all, from
that of recent years. Student coun-
cil is In charge of arrangements, and

into the campaign has been particu-

The reply to all of these ideas has
been threefold: funds are definitely

to be balanced, the money doesn't

for a billion dollar military machine
is of less value to the future of the
country than the government's
social program 1s expected to be; the

paign as a way of aiding the decision
made by at least 85% of the dele-

Several student presidents have

other universities, a N,Y.A. com-

Assistant Comptroller of Men, the
N.Y.A, Director, and the president
of A, 8. U. 8. O. This committee
must pass upon all those desiring
appointments, and investigate Into
each case; consequently, those who
are trying to slide under the bar are
clminated, This 1s a great help, for
those in dire need are given the
positions with higher pay.
‘There has been a cut in the N.Y.A
budget to quite an extent. The facts
are that two years ago, at the request,
of educators, relief adininistrators,
and outstanding citizens of every
type, the President established the
N.Y.A, a government agency to
help young people, who were the
worst victiins of the depressions,
Bulking large in the work of the
N. ¥. A. was the student aid program,
which enabled many students other-
wise unable to, to remain in school,
Last year the N,¥.A, spent some-
what over seventy million dollars;
this year Congress appropriated to
it “a maximum of 75 million dollars,”
anticipating N. Y. A. are finding that
there is nothing for them, These
people are the constituency of the
out for their needs.
The N.Y. A. was founded as a re-
sult of the united efforts of all
groups interested in education, and,
in this effort, the N.S.F.A. and
student councils throughout the
country, regardless of political view-
point, took a leading part.
Realizing the fact that a new
effort 1s necessary, a nation-wide
campaign has been embarked upon
to secure an executive restoration
of the full amount of N. Y. A. appro-
priation, or an additional appropria-
tlon, This campaign will bring to
the attention of the country, and the
president, the desirability of restor-
ing these cuts. Several meetings
have been held, delegations sent to
visit officials, and every effort has
been made to secure the participa-
tion of as large a group as possible.

Abolish N. Y. A.
Last week the News printed some facts
relative to the cutting down of N.Y. A.
funds, This reduction has brought heated
opposition from many colleges and univer-
sities in the country,
The News, however, feels that this op-
position is totally unwarranted. First, why
were federal aid jobs created? The answer
is that, as a RELIEF MEASURE, the gov-
ernment instituted positions for the youth
of the nation who needed the money to
stay in school. A good number of these
jobs were real and necessary; ‘many were
excuses for charity. The opposition argues
that there are still many college youths who
need reimbursement. However, there were
such people before the depression, The
Federal EMERGENCY Relief Act came
with the depression, and it is only fitting
that it leave with the depression, The im-
proved economic conditions of parents of
college students should take care of college
educations today.
The first argument advanced by those
who are bitterly opposed to the cut is:
“Funds definitely are needed.”
True, funds are needed, Funds are al-
ways needed, They were needed before
the emergency act. But the height of their
need came during the peak years of the
depression, This need was therefore taken
care of by an emergency relief measure,
Their other argument is that “Commend-
able as is the desire to balance the budget,
the cuts don’t have to be taken out of the
hides of youth” and the fact that “85% of
the delegates” (to the N.S. F, A, Confer-
ence) decided to ask Congress “for more
money for youth,”
This argument seems to us extremely
flimsy. Why shouldn't relief measures for
youth be cul down along with all other
relief measures? And these same youths
that clamor for N. Y, A. today will rant at
the high ta tomorrow,
As long as this country is to remain a
democracy, as long as the people wish to
get along on their own. initiative, they
should not beg for relief from the govern-
ment, As a temporary act, federal aid is
admirable, Admirable, also, is its gradual
decline with aid given to those students who
are still dependent on it. When it is totally
abolished there will still be those people
who will need the money, These people
can obtain positions in other than govern-
ment work. With the gradual passing of
depression comes the gradual opening-up
of jobs in the ordinary business world, and
those people who are working their way
through college can do so through these
other positions, as did many a collegian
before there was any such thing as the
Federal Emergency Relief Measure for the
1929 Depression,

STATE COLLEGE NEWS, OCTOBER 29, 1937
Extra-Class Teachers
At Saturday’s conference of the Central
School Section of the Associated Academic
Principals at Syracuse, special stress was
laid on extra-class activities for the second-
ary school teachers,
Extra-class activities are now assuming
an importance closely second to academic
teaching. A teacher is now expected to
direct clubs and activities in high school.
These clubs previously consisted of depart-
mental clubs, journalistic societies, and
athletic clubs. Now extra-class activities
invade every field where a possible hobby
may linger, Knitting and crocheting clubs,
marionette clubs, rifle clubs, clubs for the
philatelists, and clubs for would-be terp-
sichorean artists have come into being in
the secondary school extra-class education-
al program,
People who expect to teach school
should have hobbies—hobbies in every
field. For one reason, hobbies tend to give
a person added information about interest-
ing things of life, These interests will do
much toward making the teacher's life
more interesting and stimulating. The
teacher, through hobbies, will come more
into contact with the world and will become
less grim through daily detail.
These interests, if passed on to students,
are obviously of tremendous importance.
Those students who lead sequestered lives
on farms, as many students of this state do,
will find impetus for a zest for living. The
teacher is wanted who can teach academic
material and also direct the leisure activity
of students.

COMMENTSTATER
What activity have you got the most out of in
State college? We know it’s an old and trite question
but we'd like to have you start thinking about this
and see if you agree with our idea, We believe that
we've learned more from bull sessions than we have
learned from any class or any activity that we've en-
gaged in,
Bull sessions make you think and that's what most
Of us do too little of, or do you? The other night we
got into an argument and found there are still people
left who refuse to listen to other peoples’ arguments
in any subject. We really don’t care because our ideas
aren’t worth hearing or reading but we do not like to
see people with such a smug, complacent attitude
that they wouldn't even lsten to a Darwin or a
Nietache if he were teaching at State,
It's very difficult to believe that all ideas of every
one on any certain subject are all very clear and very,
oh, very, correct. We somehow do not believe that

swept all opposition out of its path
by winning all of its meets,
This year the harriers are deter-

fighting mood to wrest their third
straight victory over a two year per- |

Juniors Swamp Seniors;

An all day drizzle on Campus Day
necessitated a change in the outdoor |
program, which saw the girls’ hockey |
and the Junior-Senior softball game
transformed into basketball gaines. |
Only the Soph-Frosh pushball cou
test was played as scheduled.
In the first basketball game, the
luckl seniors were overwhelmed
by a junior squad, composed almost
entirely of last year's sophomor
who will probably make up our var-
sity this year. Next, the efficient
frosh girls’ basketball team defeated
the sophomore girls 9 to 6, in the
first freshman victory of the yea
Although sophomores Sullivan and
Mitchell tallied early in the fracas
to set off the fireworks with a bang.
the freshman combination, led by
Milller and Ritchie and Bussacher
quickly overcame their tiring rivals,
‘The pushball con played on a
slippery field, was the first bit. of
official rivalry of the year. With
the opening whistle the crowd was
amazed to see the frosh work the
ball toward the sidelines, into sopho-
more territory, but the experienced
sophomores quickly took command
and rolled down over the plucky
freshman first team for the first
five points. Just before the half
time whistle, the invincible sopho-
mores, after a see-sawing Lussle, suc-
ceeded in pushing the huge sphere
down for another score, although the
class of ‘41 fought for every inch
The half ended 10-0 with the ball
in sophomore territory, and the ex-
hausted players dra 1 off the
field.
The second sophomore squad met
a determined team, led by Steve
Bull and Jerry Saddlemire, who re-
sisted their scoring attempts, until,
following the example of Simmons
and Howe, the sophs annexed the
final goal. In the closing minute
a stubborn frosh squad threatened
consistently, but failed to place the
ball in a scoring position, With
the ball in sophomore territory, an
exhausted but experienced freshinan
team left the field. Reinforced and
improved through experience, the |
freshmen will ainly put up an
even better battle Moving-up Day.
No casualties were sustained by |
either class, Perhaps the next en-|
counter will be more disastrous.

HAYNES IS KEY MAN
Last Wednesday’s Time Trial
Shows a Strong Squad
In Cross Country
To-morrow afternoon the purple
and gold harriers will tackle Bard in
their initial meet of the season over
the newly planned 4.4 mile Lincoln-
Washington Park Course,
In the three years that cross
| country has been a varsity sport, the
State hill and dalers have yet to
lose a meet to Bard, They first ran
the boys from Annandale-on-the-
Hudson in 1935 with captain Harold
Haynes, '38, taking the meet in his
first year running under State colors.
Haynes, Key Man
Last year, Haynes not only took
first place again but he broke a rec-
ord of five years’ standing on Bard's
course, He lowered the time by
thirteen seconds, romping in with a
snappy 42 for the 41 mile run;
Tony Wilczinski, '39, took “place”
one second under the old record of
23:5:
Bard has just recently been de-
feated by R. P. I. to the tune of
15-40, The Trojans, in addition to
ed twelve men
before a Bard runner crossing the
finish line. In view of manager Joe
De Russo's attempt to add the En-
gineers to State's Schedule, it should
be interesting to see what the result
of tomorrow's meet will be,
Last Wednesday, the first time
tial over the new course was run
with Tony Wilczynski taking the
heat in record time of 24:24. He
was closely foilowed by Frank Rick-
man, ‘40, with only four seconds
separating them,
The time, 24:24, for the 44 mile
course is the new standing record
sel by Wilczynski. Will tomorrow
see the lowering of this record? The
result of the meet will show.
The surprising upset of the time
trial 1 the new course, was Hay-
xth place. In spite
of his poor showing, it is expected
that he will lead the purple and gold
to victory.
Louis Francello and Steve Szawal-
oski, sophomores, came in third and
fourth places respectively, It cer-
tainly appears that the sophomore
trio of Rickman, Francello, and
Szawalowski make a winning com-
bination, Walter Russ, '39, finishing
in fifth place and Jim Snover, '41,
coming up in the rear in seventh
place make up the team that will
face Bard tomorrow.
Second Team
A second team composed of those
men who didn't make the varsity
will also run. This will give those
who have not been out long a chance
lo get some experience in competi-
tion,
The boys who will be on the
second un _are as follows: Jim
Johnson, '39, Waller Kilmer, Douglas
Manley, and Lloyd Cloom, freshmen,
Tony Wilczynski and Joe De Russo
are the men who mapped out the
new course. As it is now, the last
two miles bring the hill and dale
around the lake, up by the tennis
courts, back to the lake and on to
the macadam road at Englewood
Place,
This gives the runners a two hun-
dred yard straightaway finish and
enables the spectators lo see Lhe best
part of the race.
Joe De Russo asks that those men
who would be interested in taking
part in the meet as aids and offi-
cials to ple see him some time
to-day or write him a note telling
him of their willingness lo serve.
Team Prospec
It is the hope of the boys to place
men in at least seven places, Com-
paring the time record of the Bard
course with that of State, it shows
that State should place eight men
before a Bard runner crosses tne
finish line.
When the season started, the
squad lost the services of Joe De-
Russo and Ed Reynolds, seniors,
through illness and schedule conflict.
Now, the team is in the mood to
trample their rivals into decisive
defeat,

Both of the squads will continue
practicing fundamentals until the

freshmen are getting over some of
their awkwardness ut ball handling,
the varsity men are developing a
great deal of efficiency, A fast and

Hatfield asserted. No cuts will be

Those freshmen who still remain
