STATE COLLEGE NEWS, FRIDAY, JANUARY 7, 1944

Bert Kiley

‘Well, here we are hitting the old
time clock again and burrowing our
sly way along the same old ruts.
Monday saw the same, the oft-
repeated greetings. The 1944 model
greeting leaned to the peck on the
cheek and the “Why darling, you
look stunning!” rather than to the
firm hand-clasp and the “hello, old
man, how are you?” However, the
bright yellow bantam of “Have a
nice vacation?” “No, thanks, I just
had one.” was as popular as ever.
Corrupt Practices Dept.

What two roomate-members of
Myskania put personal messages on
their cent and a half, unsealed
Christmas cards?

Whilst on the subjects of the sea-
sons greetings we should like to fol-
low the reasoning of Lt, Pete Mar-
chetta and AC Dutchy Erbstein who
left unsealed their “free” Christmas
cards. Perhaps they thought that
they were saving the government
money.

‘The Student Association wound up
one up on MAA the Thursday before
vacation when they reacted the
wrong way to a psycological experi-
ment in the way of Assembly an-
nouncements and stayed away in
droves from the State-Business Col-
lege game after having been told to
do just that by Kiss of Death Inc.
There is a grisly fear stealing over
us that we don’t understand women,

A certain stiffness in the joints
reminds us of something we were
going to say. To wit, that the winter
sports picture hereabouts has been
sadly lacking in those calling for
activity in the great out-of-doors.
Oh, come to think about it we do
vaguely recollect something about
credits and Camp Johnston, but we
mean something a little more access-
ible and enjoyable than what has
gone before.

Since tobogganing and skiing re-
quire hills and hence transportation
to said hills we had best put them
into that hazy land of “after the
war.” That leaves ice skating as one
of the more neglected forms of
muscle bruising and building.
Skating No End of Fun

‘The art of propelling oneself about
the ice’ with a minimum of wear
and tear on the back pockets is one
that can be enjoyed by one’s lone-
some or with a group, The game of
hockey is one of the better games
that the continent offer Not to
go too deeply into the fantastic
but the dating possibilities of skat-
ing are profuse and are decidedly
on the good clean fun side, a point
which is worthy of serious consider-
eration in a town that exhausts its
entertainment facilities with a few
movies and myriad taverns. Of
course, there is always the “studying”
date,

Washington Park is avaslable, but
possi several disadvantage:
chiefly the fact that after a day’
skating by the populace of Albany,
any new ice is rutted, slushy and in
general not pleasing to your sensitive
skater, Also, the afore-mentioned

State Basketeers Hypothetical Susie Eats Wheaties;
Vs. ABC Tonight They Let Her Down--But Hard!

Tonight State’s fly-by-night bas-
keteers will fly downtown to the
YMCA where they will take on the
Albany Business College five in a
return contest.

The team will go into tonight's
fracas in somewhat better shape than
they were in for the pre-vacation
game with the Business men, Regis
“Hepper” Hammond has recovered
from the seige of the flu which laid
him up for the first encounter.

The team has had the benefit of
a few practice sessions since return-
ing to school. Despite the difficulty
of getting enough men together who
can make the five o'clock practices,
the key men of the attack have been
showing a decided improvement in
ball handling and scoring punch.

Tonight's starting five will prob-
ably consist of Hammond, Dickin-
son, Beninati, Fancher and Kiley.
Others who may see action are Mil-
ler and Lehman. The latter may be
unable to make the contest.

Win Initial Contest

On Thursday December 16, the
State basketball team succeeded in
upsetting a supposedly stronger ABC
team, 26-24, on the court in Page
Hall, Although handicapped by lack
of practice and reserves they came
from behind to win in their initial
contest of the season.

The contest was close all the way
through with no team at any time
leading hy more than 3 points. Led
by Lehman and Beninati, the State
men kept up fairly against the ABC
quintet. The mid-point found them
trailing by 2 points. In the second
half the ABC men took the lead
under the leadership of Enos and
maintained it up until the final 3
minutes. Then, with a sudden spurt
during which Dickinson contributed
4 points, the State five came from
behind to win 26-24,

High scorer for the home team
was Beninati with 8 points. Dick-
inson trailed him with 7. The indi-
vidual high scorer for the game was
Enos of ABC with 12, Lehman's
clever ball-handling and generally
good floor game also made them-
selves felt in the State victory.

populace is too numerous for the

State mob to drop the inhibitions
and cavort in a manner most pleas-
ing to their little hearts.

There is a large field between the
Dorms that lies idle and useless all
winter, Ineffectual attempts have
been made to fix the place up into
a skatery but due to one reason or
another they (the attempts) fell
through.

It would be nice if someone who
knew the right people would see
what could be done towards turning
a little water out to freeze. We are
sure that the girls would coooperate
and chip the ice off their radiators
to start the puck rolling. Perhaps
the symphony orchestra would play

ALBANY. N. Y.

By Audrey Johnston———

State’s hardy sports’ enthusiasts
seem to have enjoyed many and
varied adventures during their all-
too-brief Christmas vacation. Skat-
ing far out-ranked all other fields
of outdoor entertainment, with bowl-
ing and sledding as weak runners-up,

Suppose we let Susie represent this
ambitious group of athletes. Bright
and not too early on the first day
of vacation, after a hearty meal of
Wheaties, she started off for that
ubiquitous mill-pond. She prob-
ably decided that it would be best
if she went in the morning when
traffic wasn't too thick.

No doubt, her first act after test-
ing the ice with various branches,
boulders, etc., was to attempt to put
on last year's skates over nine pairs
of socks and a foot that had quite
amazingly grown two sizes. As a
concession she removed three pairs
of the socks and crammed her feet
into the skates, regardless of their
obvious deficiencies,

Then came the reall;

Chi Sig Victors
In First Cage Tilt

Chi Sigma Theta began WAA'’s
1944 basketball season auspiciously
by defeating Gamma Kappa Phi,
27-2. The Chi Sigs were sparked
by the fast, clean-cut playing of
guard Fran McCormick, '47, a new-
comer to the Page Hall court—one
who deserves watching. High scor-
er of the game and captain of the
team, Mary Domann, garnered eight
points in the last five minutes.

Gamma Kap earned its two points
by making two out of four foul
shots. Betty Philips and Alice
Young, captain, accounted for these
two points.

The second game was a spirited
contest between Beta Zeta and the
Pierce Hall “Rares”. Beta Zeta, the
more experienced team, won 30-21
Gloria Baker and Leda LaSalle, cap-
tain, of the BZ team, were high
scorers of the evening, both earning
fourteen points for their team. Jean
Davidson, captain of the “Rares,”
was high scorer of that team, mak-
ing a total of eleven points.

‘The two games were spirited ones,
a good sign, portending a successful
year for WAA basketball. However
all four teams were definitely in
need of practice. Fumbling, inissed
foul shots, and sloppy playing in
general were the predominant fea-
tures of the games.

Only one game is scheduled for
next Wednesday night. Moreland
Hall will play Parrell House at 7:15
in the Page Hall gym.

interesting

part. Her first few steps, to say the
least, were faltering. As she was
picking herself up from a horizontal
position for approximately the 18th
time she began to suspect that she
was a little out of practice,

Four hours later as our heroine
wearily walked home on her ankles,
she contemplated her unhappy fate.
She was willing to sacrifice her time,
her energy, her dignity, her all—
but nothing could compensate for
the loss of that very vital bicuspid.
No sport was worth THAT!

And so on the next morning, bright
and not too early, and for many
mornings afterward, Susie could be
found cozily sleeping her days away
in quiet security—which is some-
thing like a bed, only cozier,

A week later, as a rather feeble
gesture of good sportsmanship, she
deigned to bowl one whole game.

Well, maybe she wasn’t so hardy,
or enthusiastic—but she has return-
ed refreshed, invigorated and ready
for a banged-up finish to the first
semester of sports for this year

Table Activities Hit
Stride With 3 Going

The ping pong tournament, which
is one of the main features of the
winter sports program, has been
making rapid progress. This week,
plans are being made for the open
doubles. Pairings have been posted
on the MAA bulletin board and to
date twenty contestants have signed
up to play in the tournaments. From
all accounts the games will be hotly
contested and the final outcome is
unpredictable.

The names of a few dark horses
appear on the list along with several
well-known proponents of the sport.
Bob Ferber, champion of the men’s
tournament is slated to play with
Beninati. The teams of Garfall and
Herdman, and Lashinsky and Gia-
velli, are also among those listed to
compete in the battle for champion-
ship.

The first round matches will begin
this week and they must be over by
January 12, The finals will take
place on January 31

The MAA pool tourney is tempor-
arily inactive. Before the Christmas
recess began the contest was near-
ing its final stages but due to the
fact that the Sayles Hall pool table
is unavailable the tournament has
been postponed.

The women's ping pong tourna-
ment has not yet been completed.
The first round matches were all
played before vacation but up to
this time only one of the matches
of the second round has been played
off

Margo Byrne

comes to WAA’s bulletin
board! We debated with ourselves
the advisability of saying “WAA
bulletin board comes to Life,” but
the board itself hasn't moved. The
point we are trying to make is that
you can still view it daily in the
lower hall of Draper. It has not de-
parted to the offices of a certain
widely-read magazine.

And it has become something to
view. First of all the pencilled scrib-
blings that the girls have been con-
tenting themselves with have been
transformed into large, readable
posters. We would belittle them if
we confined ourselves to the ad-
jective “readable.” For they are
works of “posterart.”

Gone the sorry spectacle of the
would-be athletic sophomore getting
a stiff neck trying to decipher, over
a table and eight heads, the 2X2
notice for Wednesday's basketball.

The posters are now being held
up by as many as four (count them,
four) thumb tacks out of WAA’s
precious store instead of the former
spit and prayer.

This leads to a professionally neat
appearance, but gives us reason to
wonder if we have come to the right
spot.

It is the same feeling of vigor that
hit ping pong before Christmas.
Kiley actually |cannon-balled the
men's tournament to completion in a
matter of days. And we have been
insisting, all a tournment needs is
administration.

From here he could take over the
doubles which has remained in a
state of quiescence. Doubtless with
a little effort it could be finished up
in a matter of hours.

As regards the progress of the
woman's tourney, Garfall, for one,
was heard to state that she was
waiting to be challenged. Exactly
what she meant we are not certain
since she is scheduled to play Eger-
ton in her next match.

But we are eagerly awaiting the
arrival of a few inches of snow to
witness the enthusiasm for winter
sports shown by the student body
on Activities Day. This promises
to be something rare, but, oh well,
it's a female perogative to change
her mind. Activities Day was way
last Fall, before the leaves fell and
along with them, the temperatiure.

The bowling captain, Clara Hill,
cannot make up a schedule for the
inter-house tournament until all the
teams have been turned in. Those
girls in the individual houses who
are responsible for doing this, might
stir themselves into action,

Breunig Plans
Poster Panel,

Improvements
Commission To Install

Coke Machine Soon

The revised Campus Commission,
under the leadership of Marjorie
Bruenig, '44, newly elected Grand
Marshal, has launched the primary
plans for fulfilling the purpose of
reorganization: “to make and enforce
regulations pertaining to the general
upkeep of the College.”

A plan wher all posters will be
mounted on a inch panel, instead
of being pasted anywhere along the
halls, is underway. Temporary bulle-
tin boards will be put up for the
posters until the panel is up. This
complies with the effort to bring the
Posters up to college level by im-
provement in the size of posters and
their distribution.

Coke Machine

Dr. John M. Sayles, President of
the College, reported to the Commis-
sion that the coke machine will be
installed in the Commons before
examinations begin. Campus Com-
mission will have charge of the coke
machine, and will draw up rules
governing its use. The group will
also issue warnings to students who
fail to observe the regulation:

Campus Commission now con:
of the former members and the
class marshals. The large number
of members and the additional work
brought by reorganization will neces-
sitate the election of a secretary and
a treasurer.

Freshman tryouts, similar to
those of other Student Council or-
ganizations, will be held under the
new system. At the end of the
term, the outgoing members will
choose the new members for the
following year.

Constitutional Meeting

There will be a meeting of Campus
Commission Monday at 7:30 P.M. in
the Pine Room of Pierce Hall for
the purpose of drawing up a consti-
tution, Those students on the com-
mittee for drawing up the constitu-
tion are Herbert Brock and Be m
Kiley, Seniors; Florence Garfall and
Martha Sprenger, Juniors: Helen
Slack and Marie Liebl, Sophomores;
and Elsie Stockman, ‘47.

The co-operation and interest of
every student is sought by the Com-
mission to improve the appearance
of the College.

The Chairman of Campus Com-
mission, Grand Marshal, will be
chosen from the Junior members in

SCA, RPI Plan
Werland Meet

SCA has planned a small confer-
ence for Saturday, January 15, to
discuss international problems and

«~ woman's attitude toward home and

marriage. There will be fifteen State
women attending, as well as an
equal number of RPI naval cadets
who have been invited to participate.

A full program has been arranged
which will last until Sunday noon.
The group will meet Saturday at
six o'clock in the Hotel Wellington,
for dinner. At 7:30 P.M., immediate-
ly following dinner, they will gather
in the Blue Room of the First Pres-
byterian Church to carry on their
conference discussion. Dancing will
complete the first day of the con-
ference.

Arrangements have been made for
the naval cadets to spend the night
at the Y.M.C.A, Sunday, the group
will rejoin to attend the service at
the First Presbyterian Church in a
body, Dr. Howard L. Rubindall will
give the sermon.

Eunice Baird, ‘44, president of
SCA, has asked that any women
who are interested in attending, con-
tact her, Several delegates from
each class will be chosen to compose
the fifteen who will participate in
the conference,

If the conference proves suce
ful, SCA plans to hold several more

giving those who unable to take
part this time a chance to partici-
pate in a Tater one

As the program progresses, Miss
Marsh will introduce guest artists,
Celebrities from every field of the
“higher arts” will make their ap-
pearance in Page Hall this morning,
Constance Colburn, '45, will give her
famous dance act. A song (dare we
say—one written for the occasion?)
will be sung by Muriel Rubin, ‘47,
with Muriel Navy, '46, at the piano,

That favorite of all times and
ages, one of the world's best sell-
ing semi-classics, Decp Purple, will
be sung by the famed Elinor
O'Brien, ‘46. Lucille Kenny, ‘45, will
deliver a “queer, but funny” mono-
logue designed after the style and
mannerisms of Danny Kaye,

In place of Francis Langford, the
soloist of the Bob Hope program,
Jane Southwick, ‘44, will act as the
day's prima donna.

All the guest artists have gained
names for themselves and are well-
known to rank high in the category
of State talent... .

At regular intervals during the
performance (frequent enough to
be an annoyance, but not too fre-
quent to be tiresome) Helen Slack,
‘46, will praise a number of various
commodities after the best form of
national advertisers.

As the program is nearing an end,
the All-Star Cast will spring one
last surprise on the expectant aud-
ience. Shrouded carefully beneath
the protective wings of Chairman
Joan Smith, '45, the surprise will
remain unknown until actually
presented.

“Your autograph, Miss Marsh?"
‘Sign here, please, Miss Mars!
Bob Hope, Jack Benny, Fred Allen,
and many other nation-wide com-
edians will doubtlessly offer Miss
Marsh innumerable contracts after
her startling performance _ this
morning (as Miss Marsh's perform-
ances always are!) A rumor preva-
ent around the halls is that a
number of talent scouts expect to
be in the audience in Page Hall to-
day.

of the fisherfolk along the Gulf of
Vera Cruz, will be presented by
the Spanish Club, Pan Amigos, on
Friday, January 21, in the Page
Hall auditorium at 8 P.M. The
story of the film is based on the
truggles of these people against
their surroundings and man-made
objects, In addition to the movie
is a short, entitled Pan-American
Bazaar.

The fi
ute pre

t film is a sixty-six min-
entation, For the benefit
of those who are not Spanish stu-
dents, there will be subtitles in
English, explaining the plots.

Since it is becoming increasingly
difficult to obtain foreign films, this
presentation is perhaps one of the
last opportunities to see an authen-
lic Spanish movie.

Catherine Rice,
Smith, '44, are in charge of publicity,
and the distribution of tickets for
the performance will be conducted
by Jeanne Roset, '46, and George
Paulas, '47; Ruth Colvin and Helene
Nichols will set the atmosphere with
attractive arrangements. — Several

ish peasant costumes.

Pan Amigos intends to send invi-
tations to all the high schools and
nearby colleges. where Spanish is
taught, as well as to students in the
extension school. ‘The performance
will begin at 8:00 P.M,, and tickets,
which are 25 cents plus tax, will be
sold at the door.

The proceeds from the presenta-
tion will be used in various ways
depending on the degree of succe:
if it is especialy well attended, the
money will be divided between use
in the group itself, and donation for
the War Activities Fund; however,
if the latter is not possible, the Club
intends to sponsor another activity
some time in the future.

Student Council Places
Moran in BAC Post

Kathryn Moran, '45, has been ap-
pointed a member of the Board of
Audit and Control by Student
Council, Miss Moran will fill the
vacancy left by Nancy Hall, '45, who
has left college. Lucille Gerg has
been elected to fill the secretarial
office which Miss Hall formerly held.

Usually the members of the BAC
are elected by the student body, but
as the semester is almost over, the
Student Association decided it would
save an appreciable amount of time
if an appointment were made rather
than an election.

Organization of the Majority

‘Lhe metaphorisis of extra-curricular and social
activities at State is almost complete. The schola:
tice year of '42-’43 brought slow and barely per-
ceptable changes—student leaders were unable to
make definite substitutions for abandoned activities
‘This year the cycle is more complete; State’s acti
ities are now completely adapted to war-time de-
mands; social affairs combine both entertainment
and patriotism. And the results to date have been
highly satisfactory.

Other social activities are organized by the soror-
ities. These, too, are different from those of last
year, but they are still very definite and worth-
while supplements to State’s outside entertainment.
These groups would succeed in rounding out the
social and extra-cirricular picture if their member-
ship included more than 330 students. True, the
number is more than one-third of the student en-
rollment, but as compared with the 500 girls who
do not belong to sororities, it appears slightly un-
balanced. Outside of general school events, what
provision is there for the social activities of non-
sorority girls? The group houses offer somewhat
similar affairs for residents, but not all non-soror-
ity girls live in group houses. And sorority girls,
too, participate in these. For commuters, there is
a Commuters Club. But here again, only 75 stu-
dents benefit by its offerings.

With independent students in the majority, sure-
ly there are several student leaders capable of or-
ganizing all into a group which can manage and
direct affairs just as capably as any sororal group.
In many other colleges independents have organ-
ized with very successful results

To became a workable organization, this group
would have to have a central meeting place, How-
ever, with strong leadership and a sizeable mem-
bership, this would not be too difficult, The Com-
muters Club bears out this point. The club, in five
months, has accomplished several worthwhile ob-
jectives with the commuters interests at heart, And
here again an old gap in’ students’ organizations
has been filled. Perhaps, an independent group
might use the Commuters Club as a starting point
for organization since most of the members are
non-sorority,

Such a step would complete State's progress in
extra-curricular and social activities, [Us worth
locking into, since the potential powers of an inde
pendent group are innumerable. | Non-sorority
members might do well to investigate such anor
ganization instead of sitting back and complaining
about being pushed into the background by the
sororities,

Examinitis . .
Examinations are upon us again. Onee more
the desperate attempts to atone for past negligence

Once more, the fervent promises “not to let things
pile up.” And equally fervent resolutions to attend
Classes regularly,

The story is an old one, Student tendencies
change litte no matter how other aspects of stu
dent life change. But still we justify our staying
in college on the basis of the importance of educa-
tion in wartime. Since education is important al-
ways, the remaining week of the semester should
be ‘utilized well to prove that we realize the value
of education, The attempt to make up lost time
can do no harm, Or is the warning superfluous?

At the performance of John Jacob
Niles last Wednesday evening, this
listener was introduced to something
new and different. Undoubtedly
this experience was shared by a@
large number of the audience, These
impressions are, then, those of one
not versed in the art of folk-singing.

Tt is fortunate that there is a
John Jacob Niles in America. He
is one of the few students and ex-
ponents of an art that is fast dis-
appearing. A generation from now,
and this particular aspect of Amer-
ica's culture will be but a vague
memory.

The style of delivery of this folk
music by Mr. Niles is absolutely au-
thentic. No one could listen to his
rendition of the songs without being
impressed by his unusual voice. Mr,
Niles himself called it a “male alto”
voice, emphasizing that he did not
sing falsetto, Especially remarkable
was the wide range of his voice and

STATE COLLEGE NEWS The Critic— vy cuames runcorre

the perfect control he displayed in
reaching the really high notes.

The carols, in which Mr. Niles
seemed most interested, were beau-
ful in their simplicity. To hear his
rendition of “The Seven Joys of
Mary” is a real experience. In terms
of audience interest, the ballads by
far were the most popular, The
Ballad of Barbary Allen, perhaps
because it is more generally known,
was especially enjoyed. However,
in our opinion, the highlight of the
evening was his singing of “The
Hangman,” which demanded all of
his artistry in the execution of its
wide range, and in conveying the
deep, simple emotion inherent in the
song.

His accompaniment on the dulci-
mer rounded out the strange and
beautiful charm of an evening lis-
tening to the songs and ballads of
early America.

Vitriol

In those intervals of brooding.
mutterings to myself, and hasty gen-
eralization that I grace by the name
of thought, there are some continued
problems which tease my fuddled
mind. And one, oh fellow student
is the growth in college of what
label “intellectual f Beside
the American fascist, I know of noth-
ing more dangerous to the growth of
the admirable institution known as
the American way of life

To me, intellectual fascism is the
fond belief that because we've had
the luck to get what is laughingly
called “higher education,” and learn
some ill-assorted facts and fancies,
we're more fitted to be citizens than
those who haven't gone to college
Without further prelude I say such
a theory is pure nonsense.

If anything about the American
tradition gives one an incoherent
sense of pride, it is the tradition of
the New England farmer who
brought the new Constitution with
him as he ploughed his field, and
memorized it, thinking meanwhile
of its implications, before he would
vote for it. Or the tradition of the
townspeople gathering together in
a tavern as the village schoolmaster
read them Tom Paine's latest pam-
phlet. In other words, that thought-
ful consideration of national prob-
lems regardless of education or
position.

And that is as it should be. In
Lone has been rather proud
fact that there is no need to
go to the “right” school to get a
government position, or come from
the “right” sort of family to go into
politics, or have the “right” sort of
an accent in order to meet “people
that count.” ‘That js something one
is supposed to have left behind in
the Old World

Then why, [ keep asking myself
have T heard again and again in
this year, stated in different
terms, but with the same underlying
motif, do we seem to think that a
certain number of credit hours, and
a diploma, grant us a special privi-
lege as citizens and thinkers?

Those of us who have the stuff,
would have had the same potentiali-

superficial knowledge in some fields
of learning, but it has no mysterious

Our faculty has been kind in not
pointing out several unassailable
facts. One, that our courses here
are a mere gleaning. We seem to

and the memorization of certain

AN OPEN LETTER TO A SOLDIER
Dear Joe,

I finished your socks and mailed them off to you
yesterday. I’m sorry that your sweater didn't fit but
after all you can't learn knitting in a day and any-
how who {s going to notice that one sleeve is a couple
of inches shorter than the other? If anyone had ever
told me that in my Junior year in college I would go
into a decline and spend my Saturday nights knitting
and going to the movies I would have ..
would have bought a parrot and cat to bring along
with me,

Your letter pretty well burned me up. Listen, Joe,
if you think I get any kick out of the things I'm doing
now, you'd better think twice. Why from the way
yeu talk you'd think that my life is simply one un-
mitigated round of pleasure after another. And what
is it really? Well, let me tell you.

Next Saturday I'll go down to school and spend all
day in the cold fixing a booth for the State Fair.
Then at night me and about three other girls from
the house will go down, stay in the booth for awhile
and wander around the place till we get bored and
then go down to the corner and get a sundae. All
this and movies too is about the extent of my social
life. We play so much bridge that I'm beginning to
look like Horatio's Last Stand. Exciting? You're
not kidding.

I get a letter from you once a week. You tell me
about how the food stinks, how far you had to march,
how you hope you'll get a furlough soon how yeu just
got your medal for marksmanshiv and you end up
with a six-paragraph discussion on the gun yo

and and can't associate with the way you could
shoot a basket or the loud shirts you used to wear or
the sweet things you used to say sometimes when we
were alone, I'm just the girl back home.

And I get dissatisf'ed. I see all the girls come back
with wedding rinzs and their excited talk makes me
feel out in the cold. Jane joined the Waves and she

‘The school is different. Everybody is just. existing
until they pass through this period and things go back
to normal. Classes are just classes. You feel that
you could be doing so much more somewhere else.
The routine is irritating and the adjustments diffi-

So you see, Joe, I'm not having such a good time.
Many times I envy you. At least you're living.

In Radio Forum

In cooperation with Education
For Freedom, Inc, the Mutual
Broadcasting System is presenting
a series of distinguished speakers
every Monday night from 10:15 to
10:30 P.M. These discussions seek
to awaken all Americans to their
country’s educational problems and
to stimulate an active interest
toward finding its solution.

Education for Freedom, Inc., is a
non-profit organization which has
been formed by a group of American
citizens deeply concerned with the
educational situation. In the last
quarter of a century, the democratic
principle that man is fit to govern
himself has received its most serious
challenge. When this war is ended,
democratic peoples will have to work
with each other and with other
nations of the world to secure peace
and to advance mankind. To do this
well, a complete and thorough know-
ledge of modern American educa-
tion is necessary.

Some of the evidence that the
problem exists is startling as re-
ported by this non-political organi-
zation, Out of the 7,000 students
of 36 colleges questioned in the
New York Times History Test, April,
1943, 66 per cent could not name
even two of the functions of Con-
ere 55 per cent weren't able to
give as many as two of the specific
freedoms guaranteed to the individ-
ual in the Bill of Rights; 85 per cent
were unfamiliar with Thomas Jef-
ferson’s contribution to our history.

A high-ranking Admiral, speaking
of high school graduates says: “Of
the 4200 freshmen wanting to enter
the Naval Reserves Officers’ Train-
ing Corps who were given a carefully
prepared selective examination at
27 leading colleges, . 62 per cent
failed the whole test, The majority
of cases were far below passing
grade.”

Education for Freedom, Inc. be:
lieves that Amer icans should se
jously examine our educational
tem and see if it cannot be improved
so that our children may become
better fitted to make the hard
choices that the citizens of a demo-
must make in the interest of

STATE COLLEGE NEWS, FRIDAY, JANUARY 14, 1944

Bert Kiley

The miserable condition of the be-
mumped and chicken-poxed inmates
of the Sayles Hall isolation ward, né
the game room, is an abrupt re-
minder to all of us that there is
no organized system of taking care
of the sick at school, We have seen
really sick boys in group houses lying
in bed all day with nobody around to
give them a hand, The present epi-
demic of epidemics could have hap-
pened any time in the history of
the school, It is reasonable to expect
similar ones in the near future and
for a few years after the war, Yes,
we know, times are tough all over,
but makeshift methods cannot satis-
factorily solve temporary nor per-
manent problems.

Hi, Neighbors

The recent activities of the Colle-
gians have widened our scope and
caused us to take a brief look at our
neighboring institutions of the high-
er 1,

First we'd like to congratulate
those four RPI'ers who made the
All-American soccer team, That's
about as good as you can get. Sim-
ilar congrats to their two teammates
who made the second squad.

In contrast to the talent famine
at State, RPI is enjoying one of the
best years in its athletic history.
Their football team was good and
their basketball squad is a powerful
aggregation, and has dropped but
one game, to Colgate. Wonderful
thing, this Navy program,

The V-12's and V-5's have also
given our Schenectady neighbors,
Union, strong athletic squads. While
not undefeated, their basketball team
is very good and a real tussle is in
prospect when the rivals from way
back tangle tomorrow night. We
pick RPI.

‘The Siena basketball squads, which
zoomed into local and national prom-
inence with a couple of really sen-
sational clubs, have brought us the
best basketball we have seen here-
abouts. Not receiving a greal deal
of aid from its Naval trainees, Siena
has been struggling along with a
predominantly freshman squad and
the difficulties of a last-minute
schedule, With men like the fiery
Dan Cunha and Father Maurice
Fitzgerald looking out for their bas-
ketball future, we predict that Siena
will hold her own at present and
will make her goal—big-time basket-

Coach Cunha puts forth a sugges-
tion that we think worthy of seriou:
consideration, It is that the Athletic
Associations of Union, RPI, Siena
and State get together and put on
double header basketball shows, He
believes and we agree that such an
attraction would draw well and pay
dividends to the schools, As well as
the financial gain involved, good
basketball shows are good publicity,

Cunha's plan calls for weekly or
bi - week. doubleheaders in a
plant large enough to accommodate
crowds of four or five thousand.
With the local schools playing rep-

‘olleges from the Eastern
area, a program would be put on
that should draw well from the sur-
rounding cities.

Whether State plays double head-
ers or by Itself, we think that most
of the students and faculty will agree
that a winning basketball team is
more desirable than a losing one.
Since our arrival the State teams
have played about .100 ball, And
that dismal record has been largely
compiled against schools in our own
class,

WAA Doubles,
Women’sLeague
In Early Stages

In the past week definite progress
has been made in the girls’ ping
pong tournaments, To date there is
only one game left to be played in
the second round. This match,
scheduled to be contested between
Glavelli and Nielsen should be com-
pleted in order to close up the second
round.

In the second round, Peg Atkins
was defeated by Bernice Cohen.
These girls are scheduled to meet
once more—this time in the third
round of the table tourney due to
Atkins win over Shoupie who was
left without an opponent in the
second round.

Semi-Finals Coming Up

Next week the matches scheduled
to be played in the third round of
the contest should be completed and
the semi-finals ready to begin. Up
to this point, Kit Herdman is the
only contestant lined up to play in
the semi-finals. Herdman finished
up her match of the third round
with a win over Lucille Rapp, This
placed Herdman in the semi-final

WAA urges all contestants to
come out and play off the remaining
matches of the third round so that
the semi-finals can be finished up.

‘The open doubles ping pong tour-
nament is making excellent progress,
According to schedule, all first
round matches have been completed
and undoubtedly the second round
will terminate on the appointed
January 19,

Competition Strong

Sullivan and Kaufman defeated
Doctor and Rapp, 21-15, 24-26, 21-11,
and thereby move into the second
round to play Hammond and Brock,
placed there due to a bye. The
Braithwaite sisters lost to Weber and
Winyall, 25-20, 25-23. The latter are
scheduled to play Giavelli and Lash-
inksy, now in the second round as a
result of their triumph over Fancher
and Lively, 25-17, 20-25, 25-18. Fine
and Schwartz defaulted to Beninati
and Ferber, making them the second
round contestants of Herdman and

We believe that a team needs

good coaching and adequate prac

We have been promised a new

ful after the war, Players are at-
tracetd to other schools by the

students — free tuition. We sug-
gest that some sort of system be set
up to award entrance credit for
athletic ability to male applicants.
Regents marks are but one criterion
for judging the future teacher's

profession. We do not advocate a
disregard of marks, but suge

State Collegians
Lose to YMCA

Siena’s Jayvee’s Win
Easily on Home Ground

In a close contest the State Col-
legians were defeated by ABC by a
score of 45-42, The game took place
Friday at the YMCA,

The Collegians, led by Kiley with
9 points, took an early lead to go
ahead at the half 24-23, The teams
played equally well in the third quar-
ter and ABO led at the 30 minute
mark, Early in the fourth period
the Business College quintet went
ahead by five points and maintained
this advantage despite the efforts of
the Collegians.

The scoring race was close all the
way. Lindsay's spectacular shoot-
ing, which gave him a total of 16
points, really provided the margin of
victory, The Collegian scoring honors
were divided between Dickinson and
Kiley with 9 points apiece.

The State Collegians met the
Siena Jayvees at the Siena gym last
Saturday. They were overwhelmed
by the JV's by a score of 30-16, Lack
of reserves and the fact that the
gym was larger than the Page Hall
court affected the decision.

The game was a slow contest with
both sides being guilty of many
errors, The Siena team led through-
out and the outcome was never in
doubt from the beginning.

Connors, guard on the Siena out-
fit was the individual high scorer
with 10 points. Kiley and Lehman
were the best for State with 5 each.

Fencing Season Begins;

WAA Hires Teacher

Marguerite Bostwick, '45, captain
of fencing, has received a communi-
cation from Brother John, modera-
tor of fencing at LaSalle Institute
in Troy, He informed her that Vin-
cent Poleto, Cadet Colonel of the

hool is available for the hitherto
unfilled position of fencing instruc-
tor. Poleto is recommended as being
not only an excellent fencer, but
also the outstanding boy of the
school; therefore, he should be well

_ worth the negligible expense.

WAA's season opened of-
ficially la: Jay morning, with
Peg instructing the would-be fencer:
in the art of the “en-guard” posi-
tion, the “advance,” the “retreat”
and the “lunge.”

Fencing is held every Saturday
morning from 10-12 A.M. in the
Page Hall gym. There will be no
charge for at least the first eight
lessons. After that, there may be
a slight charge of 10 cents to help
defray the cost of the instructor.
WAA furnishes all the needed equip~
ment, such as foils. chest guards,
and masks,

Georgie Plays impartially
Glad to Share His Talents

The freshman class, whose
powers of logic were displayed so
charmingly in the recent rivalry
debate, has added another great
Thinker to our midst. With logic
worthy of a Critique of Impure
Reason, the verdant philosopher
said to himself:

“Why should I fight my way
through those five Sienites to get
a shot at that old basket, when
in back of me and not too far
away, is another basket that is
every hit as good as yon hoop.”

So saying, the Fiend, alias
George Poulos, turned and was
off on a mad dash towards the
other (and wrong) basket.

Neutral observers
wards that they s
referee of being an accomplice,
for, despite the fact that George
went back of the ten second line
and took a few double dribbles,
whistle tweetled not.

With a two length lead and
the field strung out behind him,
and with the shouts, of “Hey,
George,” and “Stop George,” ring-
ing unheeded in his ears, the
intrepid Poulos dribbled relent-
lessly into the basket and shot.

He missed.

Moreland Hall

Bestows Defeat

On Farrell House:

A speedy Moerland Hall team de-
feated the Farrell Hall aggregation
last Wednesday night to the tune
of 23-16,

The Farrell team scored within
the first few seconds of play, But
Moreland, regaining possession of
the ball, held their opponents for
the rest of the quarter while piling
up eight points of their own.
Moreland Scores

Spurred on by Marcia Hollis, the
Morelanders continued on their
scoring spree in the second quarter,
The playing was wild, with both
teams making poor passes. At the
half, Farrell was on the short end
of an 18-8 score.

The second half saw both teams
settling down, Moreland developed
some beautiful passwork and the
ball seemed generally to be under
more control. Each team scored but.
once in the third quarter.

Farrell threatened once more in
the final quarter of play, garnering
six points to Moreland’s three. The

Bowling League
Continues Course

The bowling tournament is mov-
ing along at a moderate pace, Fot
matches were scheduled for this
past week, On Tuesday, January 11,
Newman Hall forfeited a game to
KD by reason of their failure to
Appear.

Gamma Kap bowled the required
games but Moreland was forced to
Postpone the completion of their
match until ‘Thursday. Chi Sig was
set to oppose Phi Delt and the Beta
Zeta team to play off their match
with Psi Gamma.

Hazel Ravelle (bowling for Gam-
ma Kap) has the highest individual
score of the league—189.

The results to date are: a win for
Psi Gamma over Kappa Delta and
a victory for Farrell over Beta Zeta.

There are ten teams participating
in the WAA bowling tournament
They are: Kappa Delta, Phi Delta,
Psi Gamma, Gamma Kappa, Beta
Zeta, Parrell, Chi Sig, Moreland,
Newman, and a Commuter's team.
The schedule for each week is posted
on the WAA Bulletin Board every
Monday

Tt is necessary to bowl fifteen
games to receive WAA credit. Games
bowled in matches count as credit
games,

So far, sixty-one people have
bowled in the WAA league and are
eon their way towards obtaining
evedit—this includes the people from
the various teams. A total of 198
games has been rolled up.

Madison Avenue team was handi-
capped by lack of reserves but man-
aged to maintain their lead and
win 23-16.
Individual Honors

Hollis was high scorer for More-
land, gaining 16 of the team's points.
Sagar led Farrell with eight points.

The freshmen on each team de-
serve watching. Mastrangelo, the
afore-mentioned Sagar and Hollis,
play like court veterans. Weaver,
one of last 's dependables, was
not up to her usual game but will
undoubtedly improve as the season
goes on.

IntrepidState Hoopsters
Receive New Monicker

The team representing State on
the basketball court has decided to
go under the name of the State Col-
legians rather than represent them-
selves as an official varsity. Bert
Kiley in announcing the decision,
stated that since the team was not
playing a formal schedule, nor teams.
which were of the calibre of past
opponents, and that since the few
possible practice sessions were held
without benefit of a coach that it
would not be fair to the
athletic prestige to have this
team represent it on the courts,
Games Under Negotiation

Games for next week are under
negotiation, with the Siena and RPT
Jayvees as {he most likely opponents.
Tn the event that any home games
are obtained, announcement will be
made of them in order that any
interested students may attend.
