STATE COLLEGE NEWS, FRIDAY, APRIL 10, 1948
by Verrey and Oar
¢ the Sophs have undoubt-
been the outstanding sports-
“men this year, it 1s considered
* fitting that at this time the out-
standing Soph athletes should pass
in review.
With the opening of the intra-
mural football season on our return
to school last fall the Sophs im-
mediately showed up as the bulwark
of several squads. Red Evan's
spectacular runs were sure ground
gainers for EEP, while Bob Comb’s
passing and Rich Young's receiving
were constant scoring threats.
The Ramblers were held together
by our Bert Kiley, who both played
and coached. Now and then Bill
Marsland snared a pass from Ray
Verrey to score for KDR. A team
composed of this unique combina-
tion walloped the frosh gridders
13-12,
Forty-four's power was also
shown ai they powled re the fresh-
men in push ball 18-10,
At about the same time the Soph
girls under the leadership of Mary
Domann and Kit Herdman gar-
nered two out of three points in
the girls’ obstacle races to lengthen
the Soph rivalry lead to 7-1.
Sophs in Basketball
Varsity basketball was also de-
pendant on. several Sophomores.
Bill Marsland was invariably in there
under the basket, taking rebounds
time and again. Set shots were
“Robin” Comb’s specialty as he
netted many points for the Alma
Mater, Two of the most spirited
boys on the whole squad were Rich
Young and Bill Miller, inspirations
to any team,
The varsity's loss was College
House's gain in the person of Hank
Ruback, '44, Hank was definitely
the most vulnerable scorer of the
intramural league, as he took indi-
vidual high scoring honors easily.
He was aided by Clarence Oarr and
Henry Wise, both Sophomores, in
leading College House to the top
of the league,
Red Evans, Charlie Capel, Hal
Ashworth, Avrom Koblenz, Bert
Kiley, Fred Beyer, and Paul O'Leary
were all Sophomore “finds” for
their respective intramural basket-
ball teams. The squad composed ot
these men walked over the fresh-
men hopefuls 38-33,
Females Shine Also
The female “yellow devils," com-
posed of Kit Herdman, Mary Do-
mann, Leda LaSalle, Marge Breunig.
and Jane Pickert, forwards, and Pat
Latimer, Dot Simmons, Lois Dann,
and Dot Townsend, guards, defeated
the crimson tide in two out of three
contests to add three more rivalry
points,
And if you think the women of
'44 are sissies, you should see Pat
Carroll and Teddy Jay fence!
The only two ‘44ers out for tennis,
Bill Marsland and Bernard Bern-
hardt, are bound to be a great help
to State’s prime spring sport,
The opening of the softball sea-
son will see the usual athletic Sophs
standing out for their group teams,
Thelr ability to defeat the fresh-
man softballers can only be told
by time,
With the rivalry score at 16'4-
3% the Sophs look ahead with con-
fidence to thel chances of repeat-
ing thelr former athletic predom-
inance over the frosh,
Men’s Ping Pong Tournament
The men's annual ping-pong
tournament is well under way, two
matches having been completed at
present, The difficulty In finding a
time when all four men may be able
to play is the main reason why more
matches have not been played,
The winners of those completed
are Cooke and Toepfer, and Bart
man and Bittman.
Dorm A Unbeaten
In Girls’ League
Newman Drops One,
Draws Second Place
The girls’ basketball league ended
wednesday afternoon with Dorm
A on top by virtue of defeating
Western Hall, 14-4. Due to the
shooting of Herdman, Henessy, La-
Salle and Domann and the very
effective guarding of Latimer and
Sanderson, this team ends the sea-
son with the honor of being unde-
feated, Pickert took care of the
scoring for Western.
The second game was decidedly
one-sided, Newman Hall defeating
Dorm © by the topheavy score of
17-0, Garfall and Giavelli_ ended
the season in top form. Giavelli
rang up 9 of Newman's points and
Garfall ran a close second with 8.
The bottom rungs will have to do
without Newman Hall for this year
as they ended in second place with
only one loss against them,
dJunipers forfeited to Dorm C leav-
ing them tied for third place with
Dorm B,

Varsity Tennis To
Take Spotlight
In State Spring Sport Parade
With the first match of . State
College's 1942 tennis campaign less
than three weeks away, Captain
Hank Brauner sent 23 candidates
for the squad through indoor prac-
tice sessions on Tuesday and Thurs-
day in preparation for cutting the
group to workable size. Brauner
and Harry Kensky, the only veter-
ans returning, and newcomer Fran
Mullin, who showed class in the
frosh tournament last fall, form the
nucleus around which Hank plans to
build the team that will go after
State's first undefeated season in
history.
Of the 20 men fighting for the
remaining four berths on the seven-
man team, the top-ranking six after
about a week of stiff workouts will
be placed in ladder competition
along with Brauner, Kensky, and
Mullin for selecting the occupants
of the remaining open places,
Saturday will see the hopefuls
holding their first outdoor session
of the year at Ridgefield Park. The
first cut will be made Friday morn-
ing. Ridgefield will be the home
courts of the Statemen.
The ten-game schedule, which
opens here against Plattsburg on
April 23, includes a long-sought
home game with RPI. The latter
comes up with almost the same
powerful squad which shackled the
local jueteers twice last year, and
in Captain Brauner’s opinion, the
Poly team, of the known quantities,
oe the major threat to an
unbeaten year.
Siena aa Cortland, though no
soft touches, should, Hank thinks,
be made to fall in line. No informa-
tion has been obtained concerning
the material at Plattsburg, Clark-
son, or Brooklyn Polytechnic Insti-
tute, all State tennis rivals this year
for the first time.
New with the tennis team is the
problem of transportation for away
games, Captain Brauner indicated
that he intends to ask further aid
of MAA to meet the situation. In
previous years the netmen travelled
with the baseball squad to play
games on enemy courts, Baseball
has been dropped for the season,
This is the twenty-fifth anniver-
sary of intercollegiate tennis at
SCT.
The schedule:
April 23—Plattsburg.
April 24—*R,P.I.
May 1—Cortland
May 2—*Plattsburg
May 4—Hartwick
May 6—*Brooklyn Poly

character of Major-General Stanley
is played by George Kunz, whose
scores include the well-known song,
I Am the Very Model of a Modern
Major-General When a Felon’s Not
Engaged in His Employment is a

of Harley Dingman as the Sergeant
of Police accompanied by a chorus
of police.
Famous Melody
A well-known tune featured in
the operetta is When A Foeman
Bears His Steel again featuring
Dingman and his colleagues, Few
college students would be able to
derive the origin of that popular
song of conviviality as Hail, Hail,
the Gang's All Here; this song is
adapted from a melody of this
Operetta entitled With Cat-Like
Tread Upon Our Prey We Steal.

Representatives of Organizations
Resolve to Maintain $14 Tax Ticket
Next year’s student tax will remain at $14, as Provided in a tentative
budget, formulated last Tuesday at a meeting of the representatives from
different extra-curricular organizations,
The purpose of this meeting was
to cut the appropriations to an absolute minimum and to set the price of
the student tax as low as possible, despite the rise in costs of many items
included in the budget.
Students to Pay One Dollar
For This Year's Pedagogue
Dear students... do you want a
lingering memory of your carefree
college days? If so, save your dimes;
save your nickels for the 1942 Peda-
gogue will make its appearance on
Moving-up Day, May 9, Instead of
the usual $.50 charge of previous
years, this year's publication will
cast student tax holders $1.00. This
increase is the result of the in-
creased production costs and de-
creased student enrollment at State,
Shirley Kyle, '42, editor-in-chief
of the Pedagogue, declined to reveal
the theme of the book, saying, “It is
traditional that the theme of the
Pedagogue not be revealed until
Moving-up Day."
Juniors trying out for next year's
Ped board have to plan several
pages of a model yearbook,

budget will be presented in Assem-
bly, and an additional Friday will

the budget for 1942-43 adopted by
the Student Association,
The allotted appropriations shown
above are only temporary estimates,
Final estimates have not as yet been
made, Representatives from such
activities as Music Council, Women’s
Athletic Association, Men's Athletic
Association, Debate Council, and the
Part Time Employment Bureau
were not present at the Tuesday
meeting and, therefore, estimates
could be made only from their last
yea Appropriation, The Nuws on
the other hand, has not as yet
signed its printing contract, and
the appropriation which the Naws
heeds will depend on this contract.
Some of the appropriations could
not be cut at all; such as Infirm-
ary, which gets $3 from each student
lax sold, Freshman Handbook, the
Treasurer's Bond, and Secretarial
Contingency fund’ (a reserve fund),
The Pedagogue, however, had its
appropriation tentatively ‘increased
from $900 to $1800. ‘This acts to the
benefit’ of the student, since the
Pedagogue could then be obtained
without a further charge by a pos-
sessor of a student tax rather than,
as this year, by paying a dollar in
Addition to the purchase of a stu-

Next Student Directory
Nicholas Morsillo, ‘42, Editor of
tho 141-1942 Directory, says that
tentative plans are being considered
to have the directory ineluded in the
Annual budget this year at $100 “If
the students desire and back such
@ change, they will be able to secure
thelr directories free of charge,”
Morsillo stated
‘The directory has been @ financial
success to date, the profits from the
sales amounting to $5.50, From the
1300 copies printed, 1125 have been
sold, Copies of the directory are
still available in the Co-op,

will receive $5,000 for new equip-
ment. The administration plans to
make the improvements sometime
during the summer recess,
Budget Is Not Cut
State College received the same
allotment from the New York State
budget as was received last year,
There has been no budget slash in
spite of the present emergency be-
cause this budget was submitted to
the state legislature for considera-
tion before the beginning of the
war, The exact figure of the State
College allotment as released by Dr,
John M, Sayles, President of the
College, 1s $453,345, to be used for
administration and operation ex-
Penses, The budget for the entire
State was signed during the first
week of April by the Honorable
Herbert H. Lehman, Governor of
the State of New York,
Since it was necessary to allow
® portion of the funds for needed
improvements and repairs on the
campus, the allotment which pro-
vided for staff salaries has been re-
duced to the minimum,
Will Modernize Laboratories
‘The room, now used as a chem-
istry laboratory, is to be completely
made over. A new wooden floor will
replace the old one; and the room
1s to be furnished with new labora-
tory tables, The lighting system
will be modernized to provide better
working conditions for students,
The administration Plans to con-
tinue the project, started this year
in Husted Hall, of flooring all the
college buildings with terrazzo, The
lower corridors of both Husted and
Draper will be rejuvenated with
new floors, It ts thought that these
floors will prove an ald to cleanli-
ness—especlally in the Annex area.
The outside of the college campus
will take on a new appearance with
shrubbery planted in front of sev~
eral of the buildings, The residence
halls have already come in for their

Budget the Budget
The 1942-1943 Budget is the most import-
ant issue before the college for this year.
It. must receive careful attention and plan-
ning.
Fach year, on sor) prescribed day in
April, the assembly be. v.nes a battle of words
over the first few items of a prepared budget
which the student body is then forced to
accept it as it stands, because times does not
permit extensive revision.
This year a real attempt is being made to
hear all the arguments which may arise from
any item, and the students may actively
exercise their right of determining what shall
constitute the budget for the next year by
a series of hearings to be held before the final
budget is drafted and presented for a vote,
If necessary, two assembly programs will be
devoted to this purpose. The decision re-
mains with the entire student body.
The problem which requires important de-
cision is the maintenance of a tax at a low-
enough level for all students. There is no
reason for a tax higher than $14.00. With
the possibility of an enrollment of 900 for
next year, this amount requires cutting—
adequate cutting. Many activity heads have
already expressed a willingness to cooperate
in curtailing their programs, if such action
is agreeable to the student body.
The budget as now proposed (see Page 1)
is an example of this. From a glance at last
year's budget it is obvious that every activity
must be cut in order to reach this minimum
amount, Such a plan is plausible if the
matter is handled intelligently and without
prejudice toward other organizati
Note of Thanks
Carlyle has said “The true university of
these days is a collection of books,” This is,
of course, just as true in our times as it was
in the middle of the nineteenth century, Per-
haps its importance has grown, since our
Universities and Libraries remain one of our
great hopes for the future
For the past three years the college “col-
lection of books” has been increased tremen-
dously by a $9000 grant from the Carnegie
Corporation, Thus the college has moved a
step farther in the direction of the “true uni-
versity,”
Books in every field of human knowledge
have been purchased with Carnegie funds.
In fact, of the 2319 books added to the
Library shelves from October 1940 to Dec-

Open Letter to the Student Body:
The turnout for the Faculty-Myskania basketball game was indeed
gratifying. ‘The gym was filled to capacity for the game and the
enthusiasm shown by both State College and Milne was of a brand
that we should see much more of in this time of need. We wish to
thank all who attended and to report to you the financial results of
the affair, Total receipts from the program were $124.60. $12.56 was
paid to the Federal Bureal of Internal Revenue. Publicity and tickets
cost $9.25, Thus the amount for distribution to the various victory
efforts was $102.79. Of this 50% or $51.40 was given to the War
Activities Council of the college to enable it to carry on its work,
25% or $25.70 was added to the Red Cross fund in the Milne High
School, and 25% was donated to the Red Cross in the name of State
College. We hope that you considered the two basketball games worth-
while; and although we lost the game we still feel that we won because
of the outstanding success of the venture.
Sincerely,
Myskania.

War Fronts
‘The men on Corregidor looked across the narrow bay where Bataan
lay in darkness, They could hear the rattle of machine guns and the
rumble of artillery, Since the evacuation of 3500 sailors and Marines
during the last days, there had been no communication between
Bataan and Corregidor. Suddenly the news came to them over the
radio: “KGEI, San Francisco. is is the Voice of Freedom. Bataan
has fallen, Filipino and American troops of this war-ravaged, blood-
stained peninsula have laid down their arms and and
blockaded from the sea, cut off from all sources of help, these intrepid
fighters have borne all that human endurance could bear."
Thirteen American bombers set out from Australia, bombed Manilla,
refueled at secret air (elds in the Philippines, bombed the Japs some
ent the night at their secret air fields, picked up American

MacArthur pinned the Distinguished Service Cross on the fliers as

A nightmare that has haunted the minds of British naval men
ever since the fall of Singapore became a reality last week. A full
Japanese battle fleet sailed into the Bay of Bengal in such force as
to threaten British control of the entire Indian Ocean area. The
opening phases of the battle for the Bay of Bengal and the Indian
Ocean went badly for the British. Jap airplanes sunk two cruisers
and an aircraft carrier,
‘The news from the land fronts in Burma was bad too. The Japs

Trece Aney, one glamour girl who maintains her

Gerdts At Scott Field
Les Gerdts, last year's head of Intramural Council,
is now an aviation cadet at Scott Field, Illinois, after
dabbling a bit in the engineering department of Fort
Belvoir. . .
Les was finishing up a course in Map Reproduction
“designed to turn out finished photographers and
lithographic press operators” when he was transferred
from Belvoir to the Air Corps...
Once more he hit the books, this time a concen-
trated 16-week study of Radio, and his schedule makes
this brain factory look like a country club... “We
go to school six days a week, seven hours a day, and
have a three hour study period each night, which is
compulsory. College was a cinch compared to this.”
The boys are up at 6, which is slightly worse than
methods, and in bed at 10, which is slightly worse.
Les claims that army life is what you make of it;
how you get along will depend solely upon you, and
your attitude...
Closing his letter he congratulates the War Ac-
tivities Council and the various organizations doing
Victory work, claiming that the value of such con-
tributions, no matter how small, should never be
underestimated.
Meschter Called Suddenly
The sudden departure of Al Meschter for the Mer-

to Al Meschter ...
Al enlisted in the Merchant Marine in February,
under an agreement whereby he could finish out the
school year. However, Monday night, the good looking
freshman got a telegram saying his Uncle Sammy
needed him—but quickly, and he was ordered to report
immediately to New York—a city south of Albany...
So now Al isn’t sure what is going to happen, but
we know that he'll be in there punching, and that
he carries the best wishes of all of us with him.
wherever he may go...
Forum Takes The Helm
Forum and Newman Club (spelled F-e-r-r-i-s) have
begun compiling data concerning their memkers who
are now serving with the armed forces
This is something that should be done by all the
organizations, including the various classes—or better
still by the administration, in order that State College
will have a permanent record of those who left her
halls to fight, so others entering these same halls can
live and learn with the same freedom of belief and
critical attitude that characterizes most of us here. . .
Undoubtedly we will have a roll of honor for State
College when this war is finished, and there is no time
like the present to start collecting the data needed. It
is a tribute to the practical, alert leadership of the
ever-present, indomitable Fred Ferris that his organi-
zations will have the credit of starting the project.
Once again Forum is assuming the position of lead-
ership in the student body that rightfully belongs to
it... Old man Mose ain't dead . . .

SCA Changes
Rule Governing
Office Holding
President, Vice-President
May Be of Same Sex
SCA took unprecedented action
last week when the first and second
cabinets voted to amend the clause
in its constitution which stated that
the president and the vice-president
should at no time be of the same sex.
The clause which provided for
the alternation of offices became a
part of the constitution in the
1939-40 school year, Its purpose was
to secure equal chances for both
sexes to hold offices in the associa-
tion. Now, however, since there is a
possibility that many of the men
who are eligible for the presidency
next year may not return to school,
the association has seen fit to change
its constitution that members of
the same sex may hold both offices
at the same time. This amendment
will be effective for the duration of
the war.
Consider All Angles
Kathryn Wilson, '42, president of
SCA, si “The constitution was
made for our benefit, not to help or
hinder us. The committee consid-
ered every possible angle and decided
that since conditions are as they
are, this was the best plan.”
Doris Lichtwart, '44, is State's of-
ficial delegate to the state-wide SCA
council meeting to be held at Russell
Sage this week-end. At this meeting
plans will be made for the coming
year's work.
State, Mildred Elley, Albany Busi-
ness College, and Albany Nurses
have been invited to hear Reverend
Hitchen from England speak in the
Unitarian Chapel of Sunday from
3 to 5 P. M. He will discuss poetry
in the world today.

War Stamp Sale
To Start in Draper
The War Savings Stamps sold as
admission to the MacArthur Day
Dance held last Saturday night in
the Ingle Room of Pierce Hall net-
ted $39.60. The spirit of “Digging
for Doug" was shown by the fact
that many students bought more
stamps than were necessary for en-
trance. And for many, buying these
war stamps started them on the
way to real war saving.
Stamps have been sold for nine
weeks in the Co-op, yet Miss Bur-
nette, Manager of the Co-op reports
that only $254.50 worth of stamps
have been sold to faculty and stu-
dents. This means that on the
average, students of State College
have bought two ten-cent stamps
apiece. About five students buy
stamps regularly.
In Milne High School, where $6,120
worth of war stamps have been sold
since January 15, the average amount
spent by each student was $15.
Compared with Milne, State's cam-
paign has not been a success.
To remedy the situation, a table
will be set up in the lower hall of
Draper. Miss Burnette suggested
that if each student bought one
stamp a week until the end of the
school year, our War Savings sales
would be increased by about $500.
She explained that while such an
amount, though not large, would
not only help in our war effort, but
would also start students in the
habit of regular savin,
“There is no more pertinent thing
in connection with the war than to
make those sacrifices war
savings stamp: a r, vles,
President of the College. “All things
essential to carrying on the war
should receive our attention and
sacrifice now so that we may keep
the democracy that we love.”

SEB Receives
Commerce Calls
Social Studies Is Next;
More Placements Made
During the past month Student
Employment Bureau has received
193 calls for people to fill teaching
Positions. An analysis made by the
bureau shows what subjects and
subject-combinations have been in
greatest demand.
Forty calls for commerce teachers
place commerce far ahead of all
other subjects. Social studies, next
in popularity, received only nineteen
calls, less than half the number re-
ceived for commerce. Science and
English teachers were in equal de-
mand, with eighteen calls for each.
The math-science combination was
next, receiving fifteen calls. There
were nine calls for math alone, eight
for the English-Library combina-
tion, seven for Latin-French, five for
library, and four for math-French.
The once popular English-social
studies combination received only
three calls this month, There were
three calls for English-Latin, The
remainder of the calls were for the
most part single calls for unusual
combinations,
The following people have been
placed by the bureau during the
past week; Marjorie Bishop, ’4,

Mumaw States
Ideas onDancing
by Jeanette Shay
State students might have appre-
ciated Barton Mumaw's perform-
ance more if they had realized that
he went without his dinner Wed-
desday night just so that he might
entertain them. No, it wasn’t for
lack of time; it was to prevent his
being “bogged” down. He never eats
before a performance, his only sus-
tenance being a glass of honey
which he drinks thirty minutes be-
fore he goes on.
Mr, Mumaw's reason for going in-
to the dancing field is the same old
story, he “always wanted to dance.”
Dancing in his opinion embodies a
knowledge of science, of math, of
history, and of all the other arts.
“Tt brings the whole of life together
in one spot,” he declared,
With so much emphasis being
placed now on physical fitness for
defense, Mr. Mumaw sees in danc-
ing a means of gaining this ob-
jective. “In addition the dancer
derives benefit from the overtones
of spiritual value, One cannot dance
without feeling something,” he said.
Inspiration for the creation of
a dance may come from any direc-
tion according to Mumaw, He may
be stimulated by a painting, a poem,
a strain of music, or even a costume.
After the inspiration a dance may
be created in as short a time as an
hour while others may take months
or even years.
When asked to tell what he thinks
about the future of dancing, Mu-
maw said, “Right now we're in a
hell of a fix.” He is fearful of the
great amount of unfavorable publi-
city that has been given to dancing
in newspapers throughout the coun-
try. However he hopes that this
will serve as a stimulation since it
is making dancers fight all the
harder for recognition,
“T think all arts should be pre-
served in war time,” he declared,
“for art is one thing by which a
country is remembered.”
Budget
(Continued from page 1, column 4)
the Directory should be included in
the college budget was considered,
but it was decided that this problem
would have to be decided in As-
sembly by the Student Association.
The W.A.A. Handbook was ellmn-
{nated from the budget, thus cutting
the W.A.A. appropriation by an ad-
ditional $230. Since Press Bureau
had to be given $35 extra in Janu-
ary of this year, thelr appropriation
was increased this year. P.T.E.B.
was also given an increase of $10 in
their appropriation:
However, ib must be emphasized
that this budget was only tentative
and that the budget must be ap-
proved by the Student Association

STATE COLLEGE NEWS, FRIDAY, APRIL 17, 1942
‘CARL MITCHELL
In keeping with the trend of sports
curtailment in American colleges
comes the announcement that MAA
has decided to abolish freshman
basketball when next year rolls
around,
This does not necessarily mean
that the frosh will not be able to
participate in basketball, but that
MAA will not give the sport its
financial support due to the de-
creased male enrollment expected.
However, just as we predicted
@ short time ago, there is a great
possibility that freshmen will have
to be used on the varsity outfit in
order to pull the team up to full
collegiate strength,
An interview with Coach G. Eliot
Hatfield reveals that, if necessry,
he will use any freshman who comes
up to varsity standards, This un-
precedented step is actuated by the
fact that other colleges are follow-
ing similar measures.
Page Basketball
It’s regretable that many of the
present sports fans will not be
around next year to see State's
basketeers go into action with some
of the finest competition available.
Due to the efforts of Coach Hat-
fleld over a period of years, State
has at last carded a game with the
Union College Dutchmen. In the
past the Schenectadians have
been reluctant to engage in sports
with State.
Another extra-special feature of
the basketball schedule is the in-
augural of basketball games with an-
other Metropolitan quintet. Cooper-
Union, a New York Technical col-
lege will stop-over for a game with
State on its Northern tour. Cooper-
Union is a highly rated outfit.
Bull Session Sports
While carrying on an informal
discussion with some of State's wide-
awake National League followers
the following took place:
“The Dodgers would stand a
better chance in their opening
games if those three men were not
suspended for ‘conduct unbecom-
ing to Dodgers’.”
Said the pert little girl nearby,
“What did they do—tip their hats
to a lady?”
The payoff in reality comes with
the following story, which has been
checked and found authenticated:
A girl from Rider College was
invited to attend Soiree. When
she arrived at Union Station she
could not find her man, When
she called up his fraternity, the
lad on the phone gave directions
to take a taxi to their house, and
then added as an afterthought—
“better bring a baseball bat to
beat off the wolves.”
Snow Delays Start
OF Softball League
Due to Sophomore Soiree’s snow-
storm last weekend, the start of in-
tramural softball has been post-
poned until next Monday, April 20,
This ts one week ahead of last year's
opening day
Regis Hammond and Bill Mars-
land are in charge of the league.
They have arranged a 28-game
schedule for the eight teams com-
posing the league, Each team will
Play against each of the others
once. Permission has been given to
use the diamond in front of Page
Hall, Hammond has announced
that “as things are planned now, we
will play at least three afternoons
of the week—more If possible, The
first game will begin at 4:30 and
the second at 6:30 P.M, Final ar-
rangements will be completed by

Season Thursday
Brauner Will Cut Squad
To Six Men Tomorrow
The first match of the season for
the tennis squad will take place
Thursday against Plattsburg Normal
School at Ridgefield Park. Captain
Hank Brauner feels that the State
men available will provide adequate
competition for the invaders,
With the recent improvement of
weather conditions, the tennis team
has taken to the Ridgefield courts
for its practice sessions during the
past week,
The three certain berths are occu-
pied by Brauner and Harry Kensky,
the only veterans who have re-
turned; and Fran Mullin, the fresh-
man who showed up so well in last
fall's frosh tournament.
After Hank has selected the other
three team men, a ladder will, be
drawn up, which includes those who
did not get a berth. The top six
men on this ladder will compose the
team, The others may move up by
defeating the man above; and may
even work up to a team position.
Men who do not have a ladder posi-
tion may gain one by beating one
of those in one of the lower rungs.

“If winter comes, can spring be
far behind.” So said somebody
(Shelley, I am told), but what hap-
pens when winter comes and goes,
but comes back again?
However, optimistic WAA has
crossed its fingers, said a few prayers
for cooperation from the gods in
charge of the weather, and has in-
augurated its spring sports season.
As Shirley says, “physical fitness is
our aim”—“our” referring to the
femmes of State, and the country as
well. The bill of activities offered to
the local gals includes softball, bad-
minton, archery, golf, swimming,
riding and tennis.
Congrats, Dorm A!
A little belatedly, this column of-
fers its congratulations to the un-
defeated Dorm A team, which gar-
nered a silver cup and the WAA
championship. Last year this team
was a leading contender for a first
place tie with the champs, Dorm B,
but through a misunderstanding
showed up for its last game forty-
five minutes late. This tardiness
caused a forfeit to their rivals.
However, their unbeaten campaign
this year has certainly made up for
it, Congratulations!
More Felicitations
As a contrast to the lukewarm
reception to bowling last year, the
recent bowling tourney swept the
college. Psi Gamma won a beautiful
new trophy as a reward for showing
its superiority in the highly con-
tested matches in the Inter-house
Bowling League. Congratulation go
to the team as a whole and the
individual members for their taking
the individual honors as well.

War Reduces Men’s Athletics;
Emphasis On WAA Sports
by Ray Verrey
‘The war and the draft are steadil
taking their toll. Men's athletics in
State College are bound to take a
sharp drop next year, due to the
lack of men, and if the war con-
tinues, they will be severely ham-
pered for the duration.
Some of our basketball competi-
tors, Clarkson, RPI, Brooklyn Poly,
and Pratt, will not suffer a lack of
athletes because of the draft since
their technical courses exempt their
students from the draft until they
finish college,
Next year Coach Hatfield will
have to draw from intramural
squads in order to fill out varsity
basketball berths On the other
hand, the war has stressed the need
of sports for stronger and healthier
bodies which should prove a boom
for intramural activity
Though not many athletes — or
men for that matter—are expected
in next year’s freshman class, the
intramural program should be ex-
panded in order to keep State's men
active in sports,
This is a serious problem facing
intramural council and MAA. Men's
athletics must undergo a change for
the duration.
As physical education men are be-
ing taken into the service, there is
@n acute shortage of coaches and
physical instructors in high schools,
Couldn't State revive a “Theory of
Coaching” course in order to pre-
pare prospective teachers for coach-
ing jobs? It was done in State
College in 1918, why not now?
by Shirley Wurz
Maybe it’s the decrease in the
male population of State College
which gives the girls more time for
sports or maybe it’s just the increas-
ing interest of American women: in
physical fitness—but the list of those
in WAA ts growing day by day.
While MAA is facing the problem
of decreased membership, WAA
faces that of increased responsi-
bility. As Anna Cattuti says,
“with fewer parlor games, the girls
will have to turn to outdoor sports
for recreation.”
Physical fitness, important at any
time, is especially important in war
time, Every girl who isn’t active in
WAA isn’t necessarily a physical
wreck but those who are active in
WAA are for the most part in bet-
ter shape. (No cracks, please.)
Alice Marble, National Director of
Physical Education, is in favor of a
Program of active sports for every
woman in the United States. This
is the part that WAA must play in
our national emergency, Every girl
at State should participate in at
least one sport. WAA offers a va-
ried program which should appeal
to every feminine fan,
What a place State will be—with
feminine Amazons bouncing health-
ily around the institution. After
all, many of our girls will lose their
main extra-curricular activity when
the men go marching away. And
their interests might better turn to
archery and badminton than to “sit-
ting under the apple tree with
somebody else.”

Aviation Classes
For State, Milne
Five Members Attend
Conference at Syracuse
Dr, John M, Sayles, President of
the College, has appointed a faculty
committee for the purpose of infus-
ing aviation consciousness into the
curriculum of State College and the
Milne High School. Dr, Robert W.
Frederick, Principal of Milne, is
chairman of the committee; Dr. D.
V. Smith, Professor of Social Studies,
Dr. Ralph G. Clausen, Assistant Pro-
fessor of Science, Dr. Carleton A.
Moose, Assistant Professor and
Supervisor in Science, and Mr.
George M. York, Professor of Com-
merce, are committee members.
The committee met Wednesday
morning to plan an “air-minded”
program, Dr, Frederick outlined the
points taken up at the meeting:
(1) Get all the available books in
the field and place them in the
school libraries; (2) Method of in-
fusing aviation consciousness into
each course; (3) Problems of more
specific new courses which will be
taken up later.
The five committee members at-
tended a conference at Syracuse
University on Saturday. Five rep-
resentatives from each teacher-
training institution in New York

its implications for teacher educa-

Songs Outrank
Dramatic Efforts
By Bernard Perlman
Despite the information in the
program, last night’s performance
did not begin until Jean McAllister
made her first appearance upon the
stage. Both the singer and acting
lacked conviction and motion, albeit
the motley costumes of the pirate
chorus and virginal maidens pre-
sented interesting tableaux at times.
As a whole, the singing of the
evening, both solo and chorus parts,
was of an exceptional nature, al-
though the opening was too tame for
a pirate band. It wasn’t until the
second act that Max Reeves found
his voice, but Jean McAllister was
surer of herself than ever before.
‘The stage business of her first solo,
Poor Wandering One, demonstrated
immediately that she had matured
measurably in control of her voice
and manners. The talented if some-
what gawky sensation of last year's
Pinafore is now @ seasoned trouper,
having full command of any part
she essays.
Brooks Roberts, as the pirate
chieftain, acted most authentically,
as did Ruth, the bane of the pirates’
lives, However, their contributions
were antithetical, Roberts acting
the part and singing as best he could,
with Schlesinger doing a good job
on the music, Kunz’ entrance was
impatiently awaited and right roy-
ally received—and rightly so, There
was a flavor and style to George's
performance as the Major-General
which did much toward providing
the operetta with the drive and
verve so characteristic of Gilbert
and Sullivan.
Dingman’s comic efforts were pre-
sented so sparingly as to leave the
audience desiring still more. Except
for an understandable reluctance in
the opening numbers, the chorus did
a uniformly excellent job throughout
the evening, emphasizing however,
that for this first night at least, the
singing on everybody's part quite
outshone the acting. Too often, Dr.
Candlyn and the student directors,
Hirsh and Lee, have
contributions — slighted.
Last night's performance, by its
cohesion, pace, and musical excel-
lence, was good evidence of the con-
siderable talents of the triumvirate
in command.

act with justice toward itself.
It is time that the students of this college became aware
of the fact that they hold the power of allocation of Student
Association funds. Last year the budget in many cases was
“liberal” to say the least. Budgets were padded and passed
because the students had little time in which to discuss the
budget and little information on which to base their discus-
sion. This year there is no excuse for the mistake of last
year. Today in its regular editorial column, the NEWS has
printed the tentative itemized budgets of all the major
activities. Thus you have all the information in front of
you. Two Association meetings are being devoted to budget
hearings.
As you will notice when you examine the budgets on page
two, there has been a definite effort, on the part of most
organizations to cut their requests. However, the NEWS
feels that some organizations have not cooperated in this
effort. It is the task of today’s meeting to ferret out these
organizations and items, and to cut or eliminate them. It
must be understood that what the Association says today
can only carry the powers of recommendation, but the
organization that will not weigh seriously the Association’s
recommendation in the budget hearings during the coming
week is indeed biting the hand which feeds it. Furthermore
the organizations which have already cooperated in slashing
their appropriation will see to it that the offenders toe the
line.
It will be noted that several of the items reproduced on
page two of the NEWS are set aside with an asterisk. These
are items which the NEWS would like explained to the
satisfaction of Student Association.
State Gets ‘Stuck’ by Fast Sales Talk
From War Stamp Backers Aney & Co.
Stamp collecting is indeed the
latest fad at State College. Investi-
gation and observation have shown
that this is becoming a favorite
student hobby—that ts, the collection
of war stamos, The sale of war
stamps started last Monday noon in
the lower hall of Draper; already
thi Jes have reached the $47 mark,
rece Aney, '44, super stamp s
girl and originator of the intensi-
fled student drive says, “T think th
drive has been sful because
many students have been willing to
sacrifice desserts In order to invest
their money in the war stamps. It
certainly shows their patriotism.”
One hundred and fifty have jolacd
the ranks of the stamp collectors;
Dorm Will Usher in Spring
With Tuxedo-less Formal
Don't bother taking your
tuxes out of the moth balls,
! The Pierce Hall girls are
entertaining from 9 P, M, to
1 P, M. tomorrow night, but
thelr annual spring dance is
semi-formal this year.
Since old man weather foiled
the sophomores, {t's up to the
dorm girls to usher in the spring
season, and they are planning
to do just that, The theme will
be a strictly feminine one. “No
red, white, and blue for a
change!” declared Emily Blaiser,
‘43, chairman of the dance.
Pink lghts will play on the
faces of the dancers and they
are guaranteed to make the girls
beautiful—or rather, more beau-
tiful,
Music for the affair will be
furnished by Oharlle Randell,
formerly of the Edgewood, who
has just come back from a suc-
cessful southern tour. His band
handles both sweet and swing
exceptionally well,
Miss Aney and her cohorts person-
ally distribute books for 10 and 25
stamps and even “lick” the
s upon request. Besides this,
those who have begun their stamp
collecting previous to the drive int-
tiated by the students have added
to their albums by patronizing the
Mttle table located in front of the
P.O
Miss Ancy urges that all students
make an attempt to buy at least one
stamp a week

Tentative Budget
Will be Debated;
Cut is Imminent
AssemblyHearingResults
Will Dictate Cut Policy
After two organizational budget
hearings in the past two weeks,
tentative budgets have been com-
piled for all organizations and will
be presented to the Student Associa-
tion for discussion today.
This assembly discussion is the
first of two such hearings planned.
The instructions which come from
Student Association today will be
reconsidered by organizations in
further hearings In Room 28 of
Richardson during the coming week.
The revised budgets will then be
returned to Student Association for
further consideration and possible
acceptance,
Representatives of extra-curricu-
lar activities realized that although
the costs of many items in their
budgets have risen considerably and
although the administration expects
an enrollment of only 900 students
next year, it would be unwise to
raise the student tax tickets higher
than $14.00,
Somewhere in this budget, $1325
still remains to be cut, unless the
Student Association votes to raise
the tax to $15, The total amount to
be appropriated has been set at
$12,600, but the totals of the tenta-
tive budget are $13,193.75,

‘All seniors must pay $2.35 to their
treasurer not later than May 15,
Also, by state law, each person

cate, This must be paid to Mr.

lege, by May a5.
