Student Affairs Test
Good Citizenship
The administration rule that students must
have paid student tax and class dues in order to
secure the services of the Appointment bureau
should put an end to a condition long lamented
by the activities and the extra-class conscious
students of State college. No longer should
student activities be forced to cut their pro-
grams because of the failure of disinterested
students to pay for them,
The fairness of the new ruling will not be von-
tested by those who realize that interest in the
affairs of one's community is a prime requisite
of a teacher. [xtra-class affairs are the stu-
dent’s community life for four years, and there
is no reason why the record of one’s support of
them should not be available to principals look-
ing for teachers, One's mark in citizenship is
certainly of as much weight as one’s mark
in subject matter or professional educational
courses.
The ruling should have a dual effect, both
inereasing participation in student affairs and
making these affairs able to run on a full time
schedule,
The Last Straw
Scooters, paper airplanes, or anything else you
wish to vall them, should be the main topic of
conversation of every State college student
{f you were one of the few who failed to notice
the utterly naive and disgustingly juvenile ae
tion of some of your fellow students in their
form of amusement at the splendid elementary
¢lass production, it should be ealled te your
attention at once
This is the second time that this outrage has
taken place in 1 hall. People paid) good
money for the reserved seats, and what do they
get during the intermission? The sense of humor
of the paper airplane enthusiasts drives them to
hurl their childish toys down upon the heads of
those below the baleony.
State college as a professional training school
cannot afford to obtain the reputation whieh
such action would presuppos When the oppor
tunity affords itself for us to present entertain
ment of the caliber of this produetion,
erime that the name of the school must be sub
jected to ridicule.
There is one way to prevent repetition, united
t censorship. Isn't it enough that the
laugh of some who cannot respect the
efforts of our actors should disrupt plays? This,
together with the airplane episodes, is about the
last straw.

May We Have An Answer?
A Plea For Facts
‘Commentstater.
We are worried. Frankly worried. And, as a result
of all this mental headache, we want to ask a few ques-
tions... just a few, not many. You see, we have
been reading over the report of the committee which
was to draw up an elections plan, We found that the
report provided for an Election Commission, We were
agreeable. We read on, And when we had finished,
we sat back and thought. The following is the result
of our cogitations:
First of all, and most important, wha, |» ‘tions does
this commission take care of? Does it ily only to
student association elections, or to election 1 all organ-
izations, or to elections of class officers? If to all of
these, it is a big undertaking. If only to the student
association, it seems a reasonable project. Inasmuch as
Myskania, senior honorary society, supervises all class
elections, these are automatically ruled out.
Now, then, what are the powers of this commixsion?
Ono definite duty is given; the supervision of assembly
programs at which nominating speeches are given. One
vague duty is mentioned: the regulation and super-
vision of pre-voting activities. We don’t quite know
what this means, Are these one and the same thing?
What are the ‘‘pre-voting aetivities’’? And are these
the only duties? If so, Student Council should care for
them adequately. It doesn’t seem quite reasonable to
spend so much thought and effort on such minor matters.
Perhaps a little elucidation would help here, We'd
like it,
And, just us a point of parliamentary procedure, does
the student association wish to give to five of its mem-
bers, be they the most honorable of its number, such
powers, so indefinitely stated, which they enn veto only
by the exercise of a two-thirds vote? Would not a
majority be sufficient! A vote of two-thirds is a thing
seldom required, and only in matters of great importance.
Such acts as the reversal of the decision of the chair,
tho reconsideration of a motion, or an amendment to
the cons n rightly require this vote.
There is undoubt

State’s Stage
Elementary Dramatics Plays
Outstanding Sets
Big Success
PLAYGOER
this year’s Elementary Dramatics
class, One of the finest’ presentations
in its history was made to an appre:
ciative audience through their annual
one-act plays, Competent direction
and supervised stage management
made us realize what ean really be
done with our elementary students,
especially with a class as promising
as this year’s.
‘The first play of the evening gave
us what we most hoped for-—Ruth
Sinovoy’s chanee to display her un-
usual talent, er characterization
was an outstanding part of the eve-
ning. Her aecent was good, the char-
acterization complete, and above all,
her easy, assured stage presence was
a pleasure to everyone, At times the
action as a whole slipped, making the
excellent comedy lose some interest,
We felt that a quicker slipping of
cues, especially after Peter Hart's
lines, would have suitably hastened
the tempo. Ilis lines, although some:
times a little too drawled, were mostly
in keeping with his character.
In Miss Jesse's role we found onr
es viewing a typical New York
“gal? She played her part to the
finish, aided by smart lines and ex
cellent costume and make-up.
The only let-down in the cast was
Joe Leese. He was seldom at ease on
the stage, and forgot to do the
“‘xmart-aleck'’ suitor when he faced
his audience, The brother didn’t
come up to the best, either, in his
natural style. However, we are al
ways anxious to wateh our sopho
mores’ development, and we do hope
they will continue their efforts.
Probably the only drawback to the
set was the fact that, when entrances
were made from the stairs, we were
annoyed to have to share the nervous
tension of the actors who had toy
at the head of the stairs until their
cues were given, Tt was quite awk

Conjecturing
c.N. M.
A superficial perusal of the results
of State’s basketball efforts so far
this season would produce no ad-
miratory exclamations from one un-
acquainted with things hereabouts.
But we who like to refer to our-
selves as homesters can find much
to salvage from what might be
termed the wreckage.
Games won to date are few, we
grant. Norwich and ‘Toronto alone
have fallen before the sword of the
Minervites. The Maple Leafs, our
aecond international opponent of the
season, had much more scoring suc-
cess against Union than against us.
And our defeat of Norwich was their
initial setback of the year.
Our first three games resulted in
defeat, RPI, Western Ontario, and
Brooklyn Poly slapped us down by
narrow margins, Each of these
games has been classified under the
head “should have won,” and pos-
sibly righteously so. Yet these were
far from weak opponents. RPI de-
feated Williams, Brooklyn Poly de-
feated RPI by a larger score than
that by which they defeated us, and
Western Ontario—well, they gave |
Canisius a good run.
Next the purple and gold mushed
into the Green Mountains where they
first extended their losing streak to
four und then snapped it at that
figure, St. Michuel’s proved to be a
Gibraltar, a nemesix, and a ‘tartar,
Their baskets had a certain lure for |
a bull from their fingertips, ‘They: |

Back home again, State showed
good basketball against Pratt—the
best of the season in the first two-
thirds of the beginning half. We |
dropped that one, 40-32, but it was
a well played game, Regular class
session over for the first semester,
the team engaged Niagara and Tor-
onto in pseudo-celebration, Friday
night, the cataract city team won |
the first half and State won the |
second half; Niagara was awarded
the game on points. Toronto, after
giving Union a battle failed again
against us, Their offense was much
less effective in the game with us
than in’ their contest with the
Schenectady college.

journeyed into the land of the wet-
ting sun last weekend to engage the
cage teams representing Niagara,

opponents all, Ag a result of an acei-
dent while enroute gameward, and
injuries received in rough contests,
4 bruised and battered team took the
floor for the Teachers against each
of the enemy squads,
The Niagara university Purple
Eagles, always power-packed, and
conquerors of the Instructors in a
previous game, felled the State five
by a 44-24 count. The would-be
teuchers from the other extremity of
the state, the Buffalo State Bisons,
showed the way the night of Friday,
Februury 5, by a 40-27 score, The
next night, Mobart, after assuming
u big lead during the initial half,
squeezed out 2 narrow vietory, 32-30.
‘The State squad barely arrived in
time for the Niagara game. ‘They
took the court fresh from an acei-
dent, but were generously accorded
tho waiving of all substitution and
time-out rules by the home team,
The halfway tally was 19-9, in
Ningura’s fuvor, which score repre-
sented creditable showing on the
part of State. In the second half,
the Roaring Catarnets udded another
ten points to their margin, bringing
the score to 44-24 at the final
whistle, Byrnes. was high man for
State with seven points, while the
Niagara point-getting was divided.
The Buffalo Teachers emerged vie-
torious in the second contest of the
tour, a rough encounter. ‘The flour
city youths led all the way, 17-9 at
the half and 40-27 at the closing
gun, Baneroft and Byrnes each
netted seven points for State, while
Witmeyer was tops for Buffalo with
fourteen,
The Hobart game produced the
closest battle of the invasion, Ho-
Dart managing to eke out a two-point
win after seeing its big first half
advantage taken away. State was
without spirit during the primary
chukker, sinking only two field bas-
kets und three foul shots for a total
of seven points as arrayed against
