Anonymous Letter- Writer
Remember those threatening
letters postmarked “Seattle”
that “potential old maids” at
State received last year?
A spokesman for the Postal
Inspector has armounced that
the source of the flood of anon-
ymous letters sent to various
teachers’ colleges throughout
tne country urging students to
give up the profession and ridi-
culing teachers has been found.
Sorry to disappoint all those
who imagined they were the vic-
tims of some Communist hoax,
but according to the postal au-
thorities, no trace of Commun-
ist backing has been found.
It’s all a big secret just who
the individual was who was re-
sponsible for sending State Ed,
10 classes into gales of hyster-
ical and maybe apprehensive
laughter at the reading of the
threats to future teachers of
America.
Since the enrollment hasn't
dropped, the letters must have
flopped!
Kirman Releases
Plans For Year
French Club will hold its first
meeting of the year Thursday at
3:30 p.m, in the Lounge, and plans
for the year have been announced.
According to William Kirman '52,
President, all sacetings this year
will be conducted eutirelv in French.
A sitais les Wid Oe 2SDh 1h One cor-
ner of the room, Kirman says, Into
whica ali wao violate this custom
must deposit one sotis.
Activities planned for this year
include lectures, skits, games, sing-
ing of popular and folk songs from
France and Canada, and presenta-
tion of a one act play.
An excursion to some place of
general interest has been tentative-
ly slated, Kirman states, and the
possibility of organizing a “Table
Francaise” in the cafeteria where
conversing in French will be the
keynote is being considered.
Refreshments will be served at
the meetings.
In Review
“Home of the Brave” at the Al-
bany Institute of sustory and art
last Friaay and Saturday nights
was a bola stroke against festering
anti-Semitism. Changed from the
movie theme which dealt with Ne-
gro prejudice, it stripped all shreds
of pretension from a vital Ameri-
can problem,
It's one great lack is that of a
sequel to complete the story of the
private who finds he is “the same
48 everyone else” after an agony
ui wavering sanity induced by this
feeling of inferiority instilled since
vitth.
Sponsored by the Albany Branch
of the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People,
aud adapted from the original play
by Arthur Laurents, the play was
cast from members of the Albany
Dramatic Group.
State College was represented by
Herbert Holland '52, who portrayed
the role of Finch, an Army engin-
eer, who with his buddies, maps ou
an atol infested with 15,000 Japs.
Though Holland got shot in the
second act, his performance was
highly commendable.

plenty of snags in inst year’s tour.

company had to play “Macbeth” in

rooms, Even the washing ilities
were half way across the campus in
the Music building, The back and

-~. KDR Turns Back Finks,
Not as many freshmen attended Activities Day
as might have been expected from a class that is
the second largest in the history of State College.
It is the fault of all the upperclassmen that the
frosh were not better prepared for the true pur-
pose of Activities Day.
Activities Day should not be considered solely
a springboard for Rivalry, It is set aside in the
early part of the year so that freshmen can get
into extra-curricular activities, It is planned for
October so the frosh can find out as much as is
possible, before then, about the different groups
that function here. Some frosh are sure of what
they want to do when they come, depending, gen-
erally, upon what they have done in high school,
or between high school and college. Most, however,
do not know, For that purpose they are informed
at freshman camp what each organization does, and
its place in State life. They are given Handbooks,
and one of the duties of the Student Guide is to
set his charge on the right track regarding what
he should get into,
A healthy Student Association should have almost
every member contributing in some way, other
than voting, to its welfare.
How much extra activity can be undertaken de-
pends on each person, of course, But, there are
very few people who are not better off for having
at least one extra-curricular interest. Besides giv-
ing a certain balance to the life of the student,
most activities, particularly those involving re-
sponsibilities, contribute information and experi-
ence to the student, A surprising number of people
find their jobs, in teaching and other fields, through
their outside interests and_ skills
If you are a freshman or transfer, and you
stayed away on Activities Day, you haven't lost
the chance to get into some organization. You can
still sign for any organization, just by getting in
touch with that group, Why don’t you?
The most important thing to State’s undergrad-
uate activities is interested and willing freshmen
and Sophs. An important element in the life of each
student should be an extra-curricular interest, Let's
get the two together,

Ask Any Sorority Gal
Whe Knows On -----
- Ey MARY BORYS
‘Twas the nite before Open House
When all through Greek land
Every creature was stirring
And feeling grand.
The drapes were hung
At the windows with care
Ready for the Freshmen
Who soon would be there.
Then the girls finally settled
Down snug in their beds
While visions of Red Beanies
Danced in their heads.
Soon came the dawn
And later that nite
When the clock struck seven
Not a devil was in sight
When out on the street
There arose such a clatter
That we ran to the door
Hoping the Frosh were making the
chatter
We threw up the window
Threw wide the door
Started to sing
Welcome galore.
Stopped suddenly
‘As We realized
There were no Frosh
With wide open ey
“How come?", we all wondered
What was the reason behind it all,
And gave vent to sighs.
Didn't they like us?
Didn't they care?
Didn't they wonder
Why we were there?
There must be an answer
Ah, ... could it be
Second semester rushing
Has killed the
Interest in Sorority?
Oh, yes, there were a few
And to those we say—
Thank you!
For coming to our homes
And deigning to roam
Through all our rooms
With no sign of gloom
We Greeks are so proud
Of our sororities divine
And hope, Dear Frosh
That you will, in time
Come out of your books
And fall into line
Behind those of us
Who think Sororities fine.

To the Editor:
It has been rumored that a cer-
tain group of over zealous members
of the Class of ‘51 over-stepped
their bounds in their orientation of
their sister class in regard to the
sales in the Commons on Activities

to give incentive to Frosh to organ-

freshmen, such as furnishing some

week, a certain few Juniors are de-

To the action usual in assemblies? Gone are the
“heated discussions,” the close decisions on appropri-
ation of money—at least if last Friday's assembly is
a basis for judging. Can we biame it on indifference?
That well-known group of people referred to as
“they” say that if you want anything passed, bring
it up at the beginning of the year and no one will
care enough about it to vote it down. How about it?
Remember, if you don’t care how your money is spent.
no one else does either.

Voiced around school is the opinion that the frosh
aren't as int: ed in extra-curricular activities as
in previous years. So far, to substantiate this idea is
Activities Day. Very few frosh showed up on the
aforementioned day. Maybe it was because they hes-
itated because they thought they were being “taken.”
So, let's give the devils a chance instead of giving
them the devil. Remember, rivalry has just started!

Quite a few people think it would be a good idea
to take the Big-4 out of rivalry and present it as a
joint production of the frosh and Sophs at the end
of the year. Too many people in the two chisses, it
is claimed, lose out on school work, sleep, and the
other aspects of a healthy life while working on it
and the points awarded hardly warrant the reward
As a joint venture, it would be less work ant prob-
ably do much to remedy he situation of the bad
feeling aroused in rivalry. Just an idea, of course
but worth thinking about--hm-m?

As the IF football season nears

league races narrowing down to two
main contenders, although it is still
early and anyone can still win. How-
ever, it seems as if the Suspenders
and KDR will fight it out for the
top berth in the American league,
and the Angels and EEP will bat-
tle for the National league honors.
The Angels play Potter today at
4:30.
Both KDR and the Suspenders
won two games this past week to
move into a deadlock in first place
with three wins and no defeats.
KDR has scored more points than
the Suspenders, 64 to 44, but has

In one of the most exciting games
of the year—in fact the most, KDR.
downed the Finks, 13-12. With about
three minutes of play remaining
KDR led 6-0 and it seemed as
though it would end there. However,
the passing opened up and bang,

was the brilliant passing of Frank
Fay that put the Finks back into
the game as he tossed about 50
yards to Yole for the tying score,
the extra point was missed and the
Finks kicked off. Standing on their
own 20 KDR tried three passes and
was force: to kick, Although it was
a short kick und when it looked

A Newcomer's View |
By JEAN SEYMOUR —_!
When I came to State, my main
interest was the girl's athletic pro-
gram. After asking some of my
classmates about it, I soon discov-
ered that WAA was just what I was
looking for.
Last year I attended Beaver Col-
lege. a girls’ school, where they had
a very good physical education
course. Many of the girls were just
as good in sports as some boys I
have seen playing. Every season
would find the same girls particip-
ating in all the sports. Beaver had
a great team and won most of its
games, but there was something
lacking. The experienced sports-
woman never gave the average
player a chance to compete for a
place on the team. Only physical
education majors were represented,
which seemed to keep the other
girls from supporting the team.
ne Can Compete
¢ at State, an entirely differ-
ent plan is in operation. It is ce
tainly no understatement to say
every girl has a chance to play on
®t lean Or go out for a sport, Such
a variety of activities is offered by
WAA that T think any girl could
find her favorite among them. ‘The
fact chat anyone has a chance to
play a sport makes for greater
spirit among the classes. Many dif-
ferent types of students are repre-
sented by their friends on the
teams, and therefore take an active
interest in the games.
I believe that WAA realizes that
1 healthy body produces a healthy
mind, Flenty of exercise helps any-
one to think more clearly and to
be alert. Original ideas for the ben-
cfit of some class project are more
likely to come from a student who
is able to think in a straight line
and quickly
Another thing Beaver was lack-
ing in was an organized system of
aiving credit for sports activity
They did not have an Athletic as-
scviation comparable to our WAA,
and no point system based on the
hours of participation in sports, A

from a sport, would have to make

received letters
Point system Good
IT think the point system at
NYSCT is something that WAA can
be proud of. Tt is truly an incentive
for anyone who loves sports. As a
student gets in her hours for each
sport, she can think that at the
ond of her year, she will receive
an award that will be a material
representation of her work all
through the year:
There is only one suggestion that
T have to make that T think would
improve girl's athletics. T see no
reason why they cannot be put on
an intercollegiate basis, Tf this
could be done, student interest and
participation in the games would
be aroused to a greater level than it
is maintaining now. Competition has
always been the main spring of
sports, the more competition, the
better the ‘player. Tf any method
could be found whereby girl's sports
‘ould be placed on an intercollegi-
ate basis, Tam sure it would be ap-
preciated by all

foraituated t» establish a fall sched-

Merlin Hathaway, who is coach-
ing the soccer team, has called
practice at Beverwyck Park. The
tean, plays at 4:30 every afternoon,
and on Saturday afternoons from
1:30 to 4.
The twenty odd players already
cut for the team have been work-
ing on fundamentals, stressing spot
passes, heading (butting the ball
with the head, since soccer rules
prevent touching the ball with the
hands), and dribbling.
The team is young, but experi-
enced, always a desired combination,
There are no Seniors on the team,
hence, no losses by graduation, and
the players boast an average play-
ing experience of three years, some
having played from twelve to six-
teen years. Roster weights show
that the team is light, but practices
have proven it extremely fast
Offensive tactics will employ a
formation that in soccer parlance
is called a “Standard W" or a “Re-
verse W." The five offensive play-
ers are lined up so that they ap-
pear to form the letter W. The for-
mation is simple, yet readily adapt-
able to changing situations, and
very mobile as the entire unit can
move tp and down field
The following men are out for
the squad:

State College Will Play Host
To 3rd Annual Press Conference
By GENE PETRIE
State College will play host to
the third annual conference of the
New York State Teachers’ Colleges
Press Association, October 21 and
22, according to Bernadette Freel
‘50, President.
The association was started two
years ago to aid the eleven Teach-
ers’ Colleges of New York State in
the improvement of production
plans of the college newspapers and
yearbooks. Although the association
is in its infancy, it has accomplish-
ed a great deal in fostering better
relations between the colleges and
in procuring speakers, founding
discussions and lending helpful
ideas in the planning and publish-
ing technique of publications.
Miss Freel has planned several
talks and discussions for the two
days. She has obtained the well-
known Mr. David Denker, now of
Yale University and formerly of the
New York Times, to address the
group on “Readability of a College
Newspaper.”
Also slated is Dr. Edwin Van
Kleeck, Assistant Commissioner of
Education, Former Editor of the
News, who will address the confer-
ence following a banquet at Her-
bert's, October 22.
Each college is expected to bring
an issue of its yearbook and news-
paper which will be studied, re-
viewed, and given a rating. Con-
structive criticism as to how it can
be improved and its finer points
will be illustrated.
There will be a discussion of
photography for the yearbooks, and
this study will include a visit to the
Hague studio, Methods of financing
for both yearbooks and newspapers
will be discussed.
Besides the instructive portion of
the program, Miss Freel plans to
entertain the group by taking them
to the Playhouse Friday evening to
see “First Lady.
