STATE COLLEGE NEWS, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1944

Cy Joan Hylind ———

Question of the week:

Why is it that whenever there is
@ dance in the gym the floor is 30
highly waxed that no one can dance
on it? Or could it be that some
economical soul is trying to prevent
wear and tear on the boards.
Great News

Enough to warm the heart of any
Sports editor is the news that State
will have varsity basketball this
year. The plan is somewhat hazy at
present but Art Kaufman, MAA
director, says that two games have
already been scheduled. That's
enough for confirmed optomists like
us to go on.

A few reminiscences are undoubt-
edly in order. We could go on at
great length about the teams of old.
But let's not, The “good old days”
were good. We wish they were back.
But we should not minimize what
we have now in the light of those
memories. It is worse than futile—
it is unfair—to compare anything
today to the same thing three or
four years ago, Our men will be out
there this season with the same
spirit that motivated a Hansen, a
Dickson,'a Brauner. Just as thos
boys deserved our support and ad-
miration, so do our boys in ‘44.

In a certain sense, we owe them a
great deal more of the aforemen-
tioned credit, A few years ago the
organization of varsity sports was
well set up. It ran smoothly. The
individual player had no responsi-
bility other than practice and play-
ing in games, Now however, the
picture is different, There is no
provision made for varsity, These
fellows have taken the initiative,
‘The league is their brain-child, It
is something for which they are
willing to work and make sacrifices,
Money, Money

In view of their expanding pro-
gram it is necessary that MAA have
a further appropriation. Fifty dol-
lars does not go too far when it
must be spread over a year's acvivi-
ties. It is our humble opinion that
any money given to this purpose will
be money well spent. As we have
said many times before, sports are
good for a college—good for the
spirit uney arouse, the sense of pride
they give the publicity they afford.
Excitement?

As a follow-up to our gripe of last
week about nothing ever happening
—with special reference to the ten-
nis tournament—we would like to
report that something did. No, the
tourney isn't finished. But there {s
only one more match to be played.
A vague suspicion Is gradually for
ing its way into our tired minds-
a suspicion that once more the WAA
tennis tournament will be relegated
to the realm of unfinished business.
If we had not spent so much space
and printer's ink in airing our views
on the affair, we would most cer-
tainly do so now.

HATS Of} TO MAA

The wonder of the year is the
remarkable activity of MAA, When
we compare the two athletic or-
Banizations as to budget, equip-
ment, material and achievements,
we find MAA far outweighing its

female counterpart in achievements
while trailing them badly on the
other three counts, We hate to
point out the obvious—but some-
thing Is wrong with a system which
works out like that,

At any rate, orchids go to MAA
for doing so much with the little
they have. State owes the men
thanks and continued support.

Basketball Back Off to a Good Start

At State Again;
Practice Starts

By George Hess

“All good things come to those
who get out and do something
about them.” This might have
been the guiding light in the re-
birth of varsity basketball at State
College. When the year started no
one thought much about basketball.
It was just another war casualty,
lamented but accepted. To some
people, notably Jack Hathaway,
Milne High coach, and Art Kauf-
man, MAA director, it would not be
impossible to form a team. They
were supported by the men in the
school who were ready, willing and
able to play.

Support From Above

At first everything was nebulos
and hazy. Informal practice was
the rule. Fellows grabbed minutes
from between classes and lunch
periods to get in a few shots at the
hoop. A few of the boys that are
on the Inside were informed and
told to sign up. The list kept
growing, the boys kept working
and finally it broke, Coach Hath-
away and Kaufman approached
Dr, Sayles with the proposition,
There was no bickering or hedging.
Dr. Sayles was all in favor of It
and even promised his support in
getting the team uniforms. Thus
the idea has the O.K. of the ad-
ministration.

With such backing as they have
received so far the boys are off on
the right foot, but there is still
much to be done. There is the
problem of games. A school can
have a wonderful team and no one
to play against, There are several
things that must be taken into
consideration here and the fore-
most is the lack of funds at MAA's
disposal, The total appropriation
for MAA was only $185,, and $100.
of this is set aside for post-war
sports. If we are to get games with
other schools we must have money
for transportation. No games are
being considered with other than
teams relatively close to us. But
the item of transporting ten or
twelve fellows to, for example, Cort-
land would run quite high. This
must be met by additional appro-
priation or by some other method.
Sounds Good, Huh?

The games themselves will have
to be with teams of caliber close to
ours. In other words, we can’t
expect to be playing teams like
L.LU., Canisius, St. Johr Seton
Hall or the North Texas Aggies.
Colleges like Cortland, Hartwick,
A.BC., Oneonta, and even, per-
haps, R.P.I. would be closer to our
level and still closer to home. These
schools are not too large and pre-
have open dates still left
schedules. The ideal ar-
rangement now seems to be a se-
ries of home-and-home games with
the teams that we have mentioned,
With t-up like this no guar-
antee to be furnished, again
cutting down tentative ‘outlay, A
home-and-home series also gives
elther team a chance for revenge,
which builds up interest In the
games,

day,November 6, and all the boys

INTs of MAA

This week we have chosen Mary
Sanderson, ‘45, Vice President of
WAA, as our outstanding WAA per-
sonality. Sandy's athletic career at
State College has been an all-
round one based on plenty of high
school experience. She took an
active part in the usual athletics
which were offered in her high
school--and then some! Sandy was
the Student Manager of the Intra-
mural program and participated in
Varsity basketball until it was dis-
continued. We also learned that
Sandy had energy to spare in high
school but as a pacer for the high
school track team, she soon found
an outlet for this surplus.

‘45 Mainstay

At State College, Sandy joined
the athletic ranks of the Crimson
Tide and her steady prowess con-
tributed much to the rivalry con-
tests which brought her class to
final victory over the Blue Devils.
Her name appears among those of
the Sophs who were prominent in
rivalry basketball, hockey, softball,
and obstacle races. During this
same year Sandy was chosen to
represent the Kappa Deltas on the
All-Star basketball team.

The basketball court proved to
he the place where our star's abil-
ity really came to the fore. In her
junior year, she was captain of
basketball and sparkplugged the
defense on the powerful KD team
Girl's basketball began to get too
tame for Sandy and we found her
among the other venturesome in-
dividuals who challenged the State
men to a basketball contest. It is
the genera) opinion that Sandy is
one of the “fightenest” women on
the basketball court. Just to see
her in action proves this, It was
Sandy who ccached the frosh to
victory in their court till against
the Blue Devi Not only has she
acted as a coach but she has also
refereed many of the intra-mural
games,

Not Only Basketball

Sandy has not limited her sports
career to basketball alone. The
softbal] diamond also has a similar
charm for this demon of all sports.
As a fielder she is unbeatable and
her hard hitting can not be over-
looked.

Besides these two sports, Sandy
participates in almost every other
sport—even a weekend jaunt to
Camp Johnston!

However, WAA is not all pure,
unadulterated fun for Sandy, Her
indefatigable efforts on WAA
Council go toward helping to pro-
vide State women with an adequate
sport program,

From all observations, we feel
safe in predicting that Sandy's
athletic career will go on after she
leaves State for wasn't Dick Beach
one of the outstanding athletes in
the Class of ‘45?

Moody Heads
Campus Chest
In Annual Drive

The annual Campus Chest drive
sponsored by Student Association
begins today after assembly, and
will continue until November 20.
Eileen Moody, '46, Chairman, an-
nounced that the goal is $1 per
person.

Each student will be contacted
through representatives from their
own group houses. There are also
committees to contact communters
and extra-curricular organizations
for their contributions to the fund.

Miss Moody wishes to remind the
students that the fund will be
divided among the World Student
Service Fund, Red Cr and In-
fantile Paralysis Drive. The part
which each organization receives
will be small even if everyone gives
the amount solicited,

Goals Unattained

Last year the requested contribu-
tion was $50 per person, but the
committee feels that there are a
number of students who would give
$1, and feel proud to be able to help.
Seven houses on campus last year
contributed 100%, and this year it
is believed that morc people will give
more money, so that all the houses
can be “100 houses.” This year's
large enrollment also foretells larger
returns,

Upperclassmen will recall that for
the past two years, the drive has
fallen short of its goal. In '43, the
goal of $500 was missed by $175,
and in ‘44, by $67, For this reason,
no goal, other than $1 per person
has been set. The chairman hopes
that this year's drive will top last
year’s, and also set a figure to aim
at in next year’s drive,

Campus Chest Committees

The following are the committees
appointed for the drive: publicity,
Betty Rose Diamond, ‘46; faculty,
Georgette Dunn, 46; commuters,
Patricia Feehan, "46; organizations,
Dorothy Knapp, '47; extra activities,
Mary Straub and Marianne Davis,
Junio and Bernice Cohen, '47.

State Goes South American

In “Newspaper Exchange”

South Of The Border, down the
University of Santo Domingo way
has come to State College a few
copies of their University paper,
“El Universitario,” as part of a
“Good Neighbor Plan.”

Eduardo Jimenez Martinez,
“Director-Fundador” of the paper
has requested that we distribute
the copies among student bodies
and organizations which might
wish to establish connection with
his_University.

“El Universitario,” written en-
tirely in Spanish, is a 20 page
tabloid containing articles, stories,
photographs and poems. On page
one is a message from the Uni-
versity students of the Dominican
Republic to the University stu-
dents of North America. The
Americas’ principles furthering
the “Good Neighbor Policy" is
the main object of this story.

State will reciprocate by send-
ing back several copies of the
Srate Conu News to, as Mr.
Martinez expressed it, “come to
a closer understanding and esti-
mate amongst the groups of
students in this country and
yours,”

New Signum Laudis
Announced By Sayles

Dr, John M. Salyes, President of
the College, announced in last Fri-
day's assembly the names of students
nominated for Signum Laudis, hon-
orary scholastic fraternity, Seven
of the Seniors are Magna Cum
Laude.

Those chosen now constitute four
per cent of the entire group which
is made up of the Seniors who rank
among the highest ten per cent of
their class in academic grades. ‘The
organization holds its nominations
twice a year, once in November, and
again in February at which time the
remaining six per cent is added to
the organization.

Marilyn H. Eber, who achieved
the highest rank ‘in scholarship,
automatically becomes president of
Signum Laudis for 1944-45, succeed-
ing Nancy Jean Wilcox who held the
position last year.

Highest In scholarship

The four per cent just nominated
is apparently the highest group yet
to become members of Signum
Laudis, according to Mr. Clarence
A. Hidley, Faculty Secretary of the
organization

Following is a list of those nomi-
nated, in the order of their rank in
scholarship: Marilyn H. Eber, Clara
Ryder, Eleanor M, Hayeslip, Grace
M. Shuts, Dolores A. Ropke, Phyllis
J. Snyder, Duleie Gale, Gertrude
Anowil

Stamp Booth is one of the activities that War Council is promoting
in this year's war work. It is a major part of the war activities program.

Fulda, Cooper Seniors Selected

To Speak Today

Campus Chest Drive will be of-
ficially opened today by Miss Alex-
andria Feldmahn, secretary of the
World Student Service Fund, who
will speak in assembly. Sunna Coo-
per, ‘45, will enlighten the student
body on war activities for the col-
lege year.

Miss Feldmahn, who opened last
year’s Campus Chest Drive, came
from Russia three years ago. She
matriculated at Pembroke College,
entering as a Junior, Graduating in
1943, she received the Student Goy-
ernment Association award for the
most outstanding contribution to the
life of the college. Miss Feldmahn's
experience as a European student
during the maelstrom of war aids
her in discussing student problems
in time of war.

‘The World Student Service Fund
says of their secretary, “Her fine,
strong and unselfish sense of value,
her organization and her experience
and gift as a speaker fit her ex-
ptionally well to interpret to
American students the cause of
World Student Relief.”

Eileen Moody, '46, head of this
yenr's drive, states that the purpose
of the drive is to collect funds from
the student body and to distribute the
proceeds among the various char-
itable organizations according to
the wishes of the student body, The
Campus Chest, established in 1941,
amounted last ar to $327.13 of
which $75 went to Madame Chiang

In Poll Directed
By Press Bureau

From a wide variety of nominees,
six Senior women were elected by
Student Association in a poll con-
ducted by Press Bureau in last
week's assembly to represent State
in Who's Who Among Student's in
American universities and colleges.

Florence Garfall was _ selected
most popular by a marked majority
in the first distribution, Queen
Mary Now was nominated most
beautiful by a 66-vote majority over
Dorothea Smith on the second dis-
tribution. The choice for most ver-
satile was a close race with Edna
Marsh winning by 7 votes over Joan
Smith on the third distribution,
Sunna Cooper gained a majority
over Eleanor Hayeslip on the second
distribution to be chosen as the one
who has done most for State, In
landslide votes and both in the
econd distribution, Lucille Kenny
was voted most dramatic and Mary
Sanderson selected as most athletic,
Nominees Considered

These nominees have been sent
to Who's Who Among Students for
consideration by the board. If the
board agrees to accept the nominn-
tions for representatives from State,
each of the nominees will be noti-
fied and sent a form to fill out
concerning her activities. They are
not, however, obligated in any way
to purchase the publication, but
they may do so if they wish,

State has been represented in
Who Among Students twice

revious years. Last year, through
negligence, State was not
represented. Vera Kozak, ‘45, Direc-
tor of Pr Bureau, states that,
‘The College does not get nearly as
much publicity as it should, and
representation in Who's Who ts one
of the best ways of bringing State
into focus.
New Procedure

According to Miss Kozak, Pr
Bureau will follow a different pro-
cedure In conducting the poll next
year. Because of the many varied
nominations, nominations will be
held in assembly first, somewhat in
the manner of Campus Queen
nominations, and voting will take
place the following week.

Scholarship Checks In Office

From the office of the ‘Treasurer,
comes the request that all students
who are holding State Scholarships
call for their checks today from 10
A. M. on. All checks should be
picked up today,

Mr, C. J, Deyo, Treasurer, wishes
students to cash these checks as
soon as possible in order to avoid
loss and ay in obtaining the

State To Register
In Draper Today

And Next Week

International Student Day
Will Be Celebrated

War Activities Council today of-
ficially launches its program for the
year in an effort to stimulate 100%
student support and participation in
the war effort. In an attempt to
counteract apathy among the stu-
dent body, there will be registration
at a table in the lower hall of
Draper all day today as well as
Monday and Tuesday where students
may sign up for the various phases
of war work,

In addition to registration, today
and next Friday are official State
College Blood Bank days and those
students who signed up will donate
their blood between 11 A, M, and
2:30 P. M. For both these days only
72 out of approximately 1000 stu-
dents, or 7% of the student body,
have signed up to give blood. The
sign-up poster for this purpose
hangs in the lower hall of Draper
and there is still time to register
for donution.

Old Clothes Drive

On Monday an extensive Old
Clothes Drive for Russian War Re-
lef will begin under the supervision
of Sunna Cooper, '45, Mary Bess
Vernoy, '46, and Shirley Gross, '47,
will be co-chairmen assisting her.
Students and faculty members are
urged to contribute any old cloth-
ing that is still wearable but of no
use to them, A box for this pur-
pose will be placed in front of the
Stamp Booth in Draper Hall and
representatives to War Activities
Sub-Council will collect in every
group house. A similar drive con-
ducted two years ago yielded 2000
pounds of clothes and that figure
has been set as the goal for this
year's drive. The Russian War
Relief agency in Albany has sent
out an appeal for volunteers to
pack the clothing already contri-
buted that is at headquarters. Ac-
cording to Marie Liebl, ‘45, chair-
man of WAC, “These clothes are
needed esyerately and without
volunteers for packing they cannot
be sent overseas.”

Stamp Day

War Activities Council has desig-
nated next Friday as Stamp Day,

Noevmber 17, was set aside by a
unanimous vote of the Interna-

One more gold star will be added to the Service Flag
for Staff Sgt. Glenn Haushalter, who graduated from
this college in 1940, He was killed in action September
17, 1944 in France. He had been previously wounded
in action on August 29, 1944 but had gone back into
combat service . , . The Service Flag now represents
860 servicemen and has increased its gold stars to 11
which already surpasses the World War I record by

WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE

Now that elections are over and everyone, like the
President may go to bed at twelve-thirty, we can dig
into our bin and dig out some thoughts that were
getting rather dusty. Ever since the Presidential cam-
paign began we have heard the terms “dictatorship,
“communism” and various other epithets which would
indicate among other things that the American people
still object to the slightest hint of a curtailment of
any of their liberties or freedoms, It is even less un-
derstandable therefore that actions go on every day
countenanced by the people themselves which are a
serious menace to the so-called “American Way of
Life.” A most serious example has recently come to
light in the sedition trial held in Washington.

Everyone read with condemnation the stories which
came out of Russia about the mass trials that were
being held in 1936 when defendants were herded
together and forced to go through a “show” trial. Yet
comparatively few people were even aware of the fact
that in our own courts of justice thirty people were
herded together to undergo trial for “conspiracy to
cause insubordination in the armed forces.” Some of
them were infamous, some were with no criminal
records, some had been in jail and some were called
unbalanced by their co-defendants, Yet all of them,
German aliens, professional rabble-rousers and the
insane, together, although some of them had never
seen each other, were lumped together to receive sen-
tence for what finally boiled down to the alleged
crimes that 26 of them had committed separately or in
conjunction.

'To utter the word sedition is to wave a red flag in
the face of the American people, It is something
which the average American citizen cannot stomach,
Yet to insure our own liberties we cannot curtail in
any way or deprive the liberties of those who commit
crimes against the very freedom they live under. It
is not a question of the alleged crime or the alleged
criminal, It is simply this: that no real Am
citizen should allow, without protest or disapproval, a
“farce” trial to go on in an American court of justic
Newspapers carried the story of the booing, the catcall
the pandemonium which went on in the courtroom,
Since it {s the dignity of human rights which is and
should be upheld in the American courts it is a blot on
our record to have proceedings like those described.

The crimes of the 26 people varied in degree. Yet
how could a fair decision be made when prosecutors
had about 4000 exhibits to offer as evidence, when
jurymen were expected to remember all the evidence
which might have b r y before
a verdict was to be render
and publisher of the “Washington Post,”
helped to originate the trial, sald in an editorial
“.,. this fs a trial of men and women accused of
sedition, not a contest in befuddlement, In our opinion
the trial can continue its present course only at the
cost of serious impairment of our judicial system and
the reputation of those responsible for this travesty.”

Sedition or no, criminal or no, every person accused
of a crime ts guaranteed a fair trial in the United
States. Tn no sense of the word could a trial in which
a defendant ts tried by a jury who has been befuddled
hy issues concerning twenty-five other people, be
called fair, It is ridiculous on the face of it,

It is not enough to call it an “unhappy experiment."

Tt is something that must never be allowed to happen

again, Furthermore it is not enough to say that “mas
trials may possibly be successful where the issues are
simple and the testimony Is brief—or where the Rus-
sian technique of condemning the defendants frst and
putting on a trial for show is used, But where the
issues are complicated and defendants who have not
been brow-beaten stand on their democratic rights,
a trial involving more than two dozen individuals. is
almost certain to be a fizzle.” A fizzle is no word for
it. ILcannot be boiled down simply to success or fizzle
It is @ question of failing to maintain the standards
of justice, Integrity and fairness which hitherto the
United States courts haye upheld

Tradition or Erudition.. .

In announcing Signum Laudis in Assembly last
Friday, Dr. Sayles added the postscript, “These
young people believe there is no substitute for
scholarship in education.” The six people of whom
he spoke seemed to have achieved the enviable
record of having between them the highest scholar-
ship in the history of the Society. All but one
were Magna Cum Laude.

The eight girls who achieved the honor have seen
the culmination of three years of college activity.
This activity has been the less publicized kind,
these people have had to find their recognition for
themselves, in the satisfaction of attaining the high-
est record possible scholastically.

In an educational institution the assumption
would be that a high scholastic average would
be the epitome of achievement, as in sports
one honors the best athlete and in any competition
one honors the winner. The attitude here, however,
seems to be one of pity rather than acclaim and
“those who know” scorn those who would rather
learn something in college than learn something
about college.

Just what makes such an attitude is questionable.
Students coming to this college are supposedly
among the best in the State. What happens to their
initiative in four y s unexplainable. A few
years ago, in an open letter to the of 1945, the

Ws printed an editorial called “The Great Tra-
dition” in which this same situation was lamented.
We quote in part; “The Tradition holds that you
must never take much pride in your work, If you
get an A in Calculus, or Lit, or History, you are
supposed to act as though you hadn't crac
hook all semester. Here it must be said that ‘Tradi-
tion knows some study must be done, The smart
thing to do is to divide your time between the

vidently the college remained unimpressed,

A pseudo-blase attitude is developed to prove that
erudition is not what makes a college, it is rather

ck of it that makes the college great. Therefore,
whn eight people are elected to Signum Laudis. the
nia of the academic field here at State. no
day is set aside to acclaim them, and they do not
sit on the stage every Fric ‘They are not brought
before the Student Association almost daily by the
fact that they hold a position in the extra-curricular
world of the college. In short, their position. is
not glamorous. These eight people find consolation
among themselve:

We congratulate the new Signum Laudis. ‘Their
achievements may not be glamorous but they are
material and of greater import than they themselves
now realize, A_ college education is one of the
heritages that a less fortunate generation has left
tous. Probably like everything else, we come by
it too easily. But while we're passing it up, we
would do well to take stock and see what we are
missing.

In Memoriam

He was only a cat...

He was such a minute part of
State College .. . such an in-
significant part.

Occasionally in true ‘cat’
fashion, he tossed off a couple
of inches of space for the
Strate Cottece News.  Sattered
audiences at AD performances
applauded furiously as ‘our cat’
strolled nonchalantly across the
stage,

In fact, Alex, the Annex cat,
was fast becoming a true State
tradition, Everyone knew Alex.
Biology majors with a late lab
often chased Alex about in an
attempt to put Alex on one side
of the door and Dr. Scotland's
pickled frogs on the other!

But Alex was a bother to
some people, and an annoyance.
And so, today, without beneft of
trial or defense, Alex is dead.

State students, burying him
along with other former State
traditions, still cherish a fond
memcry of Alex, the Annex Cat.

But then, he was only a cat. ..

State Commuters State Honors Memory of Czech
Investigate House Students Who Died For Freedom

Club Desires House
For Day, Night Usage

Commuters’ Club has formed a
committee to investigate the pos-
sibilities of securing a house near
the college where commuters could
spend their free time during the
day and where accomodations
would be available for those who
wished to stay over-night.

Shirley Rice, '46, chairman of the
committee, reported that a poll is
being taken of all commuters to
determine the number willing to
support such a project. Tentative
plans call for the payment of an
annual fee by those who will use
the house.

Members of the club and other
interested commuters met Monday
vith Dr. Jchn M. Sayles, President
cf the College, Dr. Ellen ©. Stokes,
Dean of Women, and Dr, Allan
Hicks and Dr. Minnie B. Scotland,
faculty advisers of the club, to dis-
cuss the possibilities of the house.
It was decided that before any
aefinite plans could be made, a
study must be made of houses
available for the purpose, ue
ainount necessary to support such
a project, and the number of com-
muters who intend to use the
house during the day or to stay
overnight occasionally. Miss Rice
has requested that all commuters
answer the notes sent to them by
the committee members in order

facilitate planning

“In order to do our part in the
preservation of the democratic
system of education all over the
world, and in order to commemorate
the sacrifice made by 160 freedom
loving Czechoslovakian _ students
who were massacred by officials of
the Fascist regime three years ago,
we hereby set aside November 17th
as International Student Day.” So
resolved the International Student
Association in 1942...

On November 17, 1939, officials
of the Nazi controlled government
in Prague closed by force every
school and university in the coun-
t.y. Secondary education ceased to
exist. From the midst of this chaos
260 students in the city of Prague
rose up in rebellion against this
tyrannical suppression of one of
their fundamental rights — free-
dom of education. But their heroic
efforts were of no avail, for an
immediate order for their arrest
was issued and the following day
160 students were brutally mas-
sacred in the public square, The
remaining hundred were imprison-
<d, and law and order — Nazi
version — prevailed once again, A

Under the sponsorship of War
Activities Council, State College
will recognize International Student
Day next Friday with an all-day
program scheduled to go over the
top. Every student is under a moral
ob.igation to purchase as many
War Stamps as he is financially
able to on that day. When a stamp
is bought, the student’s hand will
be stamped in indelible ink — a
visible sign that he has contributed
to the cause of his war, Entrance
to the Commons will be restricted
all day to those bearing this “seal
of approval.” Tt is estimated that
a minimum of $100 in stamps —
approximately one stamp a student
s— should be sold next Friday.

In the afternoon, a dance will
be held in the Commons culmi-
nating the all-day drive, Philip
Lashinsky, '47, is General Chair-
man and results of the stamp sales
will be announced by him during
the afternoon, According to La-
shinsky, “A loyal American is a
stamped American!”

Wake up, State College — your
apathy toward a  wholehearted
participation in the war effort
speaks no good of you as future
citizens of a country where free-
dom in every sense of the word is
afforded you. Colleges — your col-

Last Friday, in the Commons, an

was Phil Lashinsky; for the frosh,
Bob Horseman. The game resulted
in victory for the frosh and the
gaining of one rivalry point.

In the first game Lashinsky played
carefully with Horseman returning
most of his balls. Then Lashinsky
started slamming and took Horse-
man by surprise. The game ended
with Lashinsky winning 22-20,

In the second game, Horseman

few points, he seemed to become
more confident and returned balls
more easily, He won the second game
with 21 points to Lashinsky’s 16.
Deciding Game

With tense excitement, the frosh
and Sophs watched the third game
which would decide the winner of
the rivalry point. The game was a
fast one and both players did
well. Many of the spectators were
especially surprised by Horseman's

play before. He took the last game
easily, beating Lashinsky by a score
of 21-14. Thus the frosh won one
rivalry point leaving the Sophs only
two points ahead in the rivalry
tilt.

Last Wednesday, the Sophomores
won the rivalry archery contest
which was held on the Dorm field.
Bodach, Lawson and Palmatier par-
ticipated for the Sophs against
Maize, Tomasik and Warth on the
frosh squad. Palmatier was high
scorer for the Sophs. A well placed
bulls eye brought her score to 150.
Tomasik tallied highest for her side
with 110 points. It was the first
time that archery was ever counted
as a rivalry sport.

Usual Lack

Since the game was played on the
Dorm field, it was expected that
more spectators would have come.
The Sophs had a much larger turn-
ount than the frosh did. However
no points were given for cheering.
The final score was 190-170 in favor
of the Sophs,
