Speed On Efficiency ? ?
Repeat performances can be enjoyable if the action involved is
exceptional or pleasing to the audience but they can also be UNenjoy-
able when forcibly placed before an audience—the audience in this
case being State College students and faculty. The performance to
which this refers is the inconsiderate manner in which the examination
schedule seems to have been arranged.
Petitions have been circulating throughout the school this week,
‘The students are dissatisfied, the faculty is dissatisfied: and this dis-
satisfaction with exam schedules has been rapidly increasing since
1946, At this time exams were crowded regardless of the mad rush
between semesters, Mathematically speaking, there is great accom-
plishment in a short time but not half as great accomplishment as
there could be with a little more time.
As the situation stands at present, exams will be held from
Thurs January 27, until Saturday, February 5. On the following
Monday, February 7, second semester classes begin. Let us examine
carefully the results of this situation,
1. No time is scheduled for conflict exams. If the administra-
tion does not wish to hold conflict exams, why not really enforce the
catalogue ruling that no student may take two courses in the same
examination group during the same semester?
2. Second semester Milne and off-campus practice (eachers will
be involved in preparatory conferences with their supervisors plus
exams,
3. Borderline students must begin second semester classes
out knowing the results of their first semester cour:
4, Faculty members will not have sufficient time to correct papers
or determine marks for the registrar's office.
5. The Registrar's office will be swamped with the recording of

listed above? Petitions are now in the office of administration—the
problem has been brought to the attention of as man) it was pos-
sible to reach, Perhaps this too will die in the hand of the authorities
but it certainly represents a great deal of dissension and dissatisfac-
tion on the part of all concerned. Yes, this is a repeat performance
of last year and the year before... how mat and how much
dissension does it take to touch off any action inthis institution

.» Why A Museum? .
By MULLIGAN
A city like New York with the largest municipal
budget in the world devotes a considerable sum to
the establishment and care of numerous museums
. . intended for the education of its citizenry, It
maintains a standing art commission of big-game
specialists to regulate and encourage the “cultura-
tion” of the New Yorker. Surely somewhere in the
soul of the rural citizen, as well as in that of the city,
there exists a reassuring knowledge that he is the
part-owner of various great originals hanging in
the halls of the Metropolitan. Actually his contact
with, art is negligible. Ses
In this “museumized” scheme of things, art has
become at best a Saturday thing—lifted out of
the every-day experience of the citizen—and iso-
lated within a rather solid and foreboding cloister.
In New York “Art” reigns self-righteously on a
certain block of Central Park, it lights for another
moment on 53rd Street and again inoffensively, on
8th Street. In Albany, it occupies a singularly sa-
cred position between the Albany Academy for Girls
and the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals, *
Actually the average American doesn't live on
Central Park or lower Western Avenue. He works
in the Washington Market or General Analine or
for the “State.” He studies at a teachers’ col-
lege. He spends one per cent of each day on sub-
ways or United Traction vehicles and his Saturdays
arc devoted to lawn-mowing, baby-sitting, or court-
ing His contact with form and color consist of the
tan and darker tan of office interiors, a rather gro-
tesque Draper Hall “Minerva” and a series of colo
ful Maidenform ads on the B.M.T, When his cultur-
a! soul is hungry beyond endurance he steals an
hour or two to replenish it in an intense vitamin-
capsule victua!, The new Art—born of the Borinage
and the everyman—has escaped the courts of the
Medici and jumped into its sanctuary--the American
Art Gallery.
How—in such a segmented, classified system—can
Americans ever be more than a nation of dilettante
valves or a nation of complete. artistié sterility?
During the century we have developed extensive
state or municipal systems of public libraries: Music,
and recording libraries, sick+room appliances li-
brariesand even toy libraries. The only element we
have refused for circulation is—Art. Why can't at
least part of the state or municipal art fund and
endowment be used to “expose” the citizenry to the
art that is its cultural birthright? Through branch
offices of the Museum, located perhaps in public
libraries—prints and plaster cast could be circulated
for stipulated periods through: ‘

Actually a city like New York would have no prob-
lom of complex budgetary readjustment it would on-
ly mean cutting down on the detail of standing ex-
hibits and museum personnél, sacrificing art accum-
Wation to art circulation, A town of limited muni-
cipal art funds might be able to Integrate a program
with its libraries and get benefit from their allot-
ment, Eventually one could hope for a state system
for the circulation of art objects, If the plan sounds
illogical imagine the eafeteria’s mural (at present
the largest sample of urt-exhibition in State) drown-
cd by @ new coat of wall paint and one or two well
placed Cezannes in its place, Surely it would help

The rest of us had two weeks va-

tainly wasn't the case with the SLS
men who returned to college four
and five days early to get their new
home ready, Yes, it was the first
time since the beginning of the
war, but it was worth it.
Sixty-two Willett Street was
buzzing with activity within a
matter of a few days before the
holid: SLS had located their
house, consulted the administra-
tion, and had taken their furniture
back from Sayles Hall Annex where
it had been since the beginning of
the war. The Annex was then be-
yeft of belongings but the SLS men
were happy.
There are three floors with the
kitchen and study room on the
first floor, Twenty-eight men are to
be accommodated in the new house.
Some of the rooms are so large
that eight men can be accommo-
dated comfortably.

condition so that they could step
right in without any trouble and
join the ranks of those living in
fraternity houses. The members
and pledges are eating their meals
at the house already and seem to
be very content and proud of their
house and efforts . Olga has

cooking line—in fact, there was the
incident of the peas being sent up
on the dumb-waiter after the fel-
lows had finished their meal and

STUDENT AFFAIRS
Last Monday the resignations of Joy Simon and
Don Langsley froom Myskania became official. We're
told that their reasons had to do with individual
principles. That may be so, but the idea of conflict-
ing personalities sounds more likely. It would be
interesting to see the reactions of student body if
the arguments at the three or four Myskania meet-
ings prior to vacation were made known. The policy
of “keeping things quiet” might have been wise for
a time. Two members have already resigned and
others have become discouraged with the set-up.
Maybe some sincere resolutions on the part of all
concerned will remedy the situation.

even include such a function under the student tax

some airing.

ciently—and effectively —administ-
ered the Social Security Act, will

ed. Furthermore, let it be under-
stood, that when the politician tells
the doctor what patients he must
treat, what salary he must receive,
and what hospitals he must practice
in—that is “Socialized Medicine.
‘The Ewing Report, to the contrary,
does not envision any such fettering
of the physician by the state; rath-
er, it leaves to the local areas con-
cerned, the ironing out, democratic-
ally, of such thorny issues,
Passing to another objection to
the Compulsory Tnsurance Plan
that it will further augment the in-
flationary spiral, the obvious answer
is to the contrariwise: the money
collected for the proposed Health
Program is actually detoured from
the main constimption stream into
a Deflationary Insurance fund
Perhaps the author's glee for the
Missouri Plan is slightly of a pre-
mature nature, considering the
point-blank rejection by the Amer-
ican Medical Association of the
mildly liberal Blue-Cross, Blue-
Shield proposal for a private na-
tional insurance company. Quoted
its chairman, Dr. Hawley: “We're
thankful we didn’t get a kick in the
teeth.”
Thus, it is still my contention
that for those 70,000,000 or so peo-
ple, classified as belonging to the
$3,000-a-year or less income brac-
kets, and hard-hit by the inflation-
ary spiral and hard-pressed by the
medical service's fee-for-service sys
tem, there should be enacted
a nationwide, low-cost Federal Med-
ical Insurance Program.

STATE COLLEGE NEWS, FRIDAY, JANUARY 7, 1949
MAA Cagers' :
Three teams had to come from
behind in the opening night of
men's intra-mural basketball, Mon-
day; January 3rd, but with each
victory easier than the one before.
The Finks trailed the Carpetbaggers
until the last three minutes of a
fast game. In the second contest
Potter just came ahead by two
points at the half, The Gents were
trailing by three points at the half
but they went ahead by four points
early in the third period,
The opening game of the evening
found the Finks facing the Carpet-
baggers. The “Baggers,” with their
height: Duncombe, Yole, Lanni and
Heinze, got off to a fast start and
led the Finks'’at the end of the
: 10-6. Duncombe and Clear-
at centers, balanced each
other; with Clearwater holding Dun-
combe to two field goals, at the ex-
pense of five fouls, sending him out
with three seconds left in the game.
Duncombe converted three of his
attempts into points. Heinze, of the
“Bags,” showed the way by dump-
ing in 13 counters; while the Finks
had four high score! Clearwater,
Moriarity, Vaughn and McLaren, all
with seven points.
The end-line mat spectator
in for a surprise when St. Mary's
Angels led the tall, defending
champs, Potter Club, at the end of
the first quarter; 10-8, Amlaw, new
to the Angels’ team this year, stop-
ped Mullin for the first half of the
game and his guarding accounted
for the low Potter scoring in the
first half, Potter's bucket man
found the range in the third quar-
ter and paced his team to a score-
doubling quarter, Mullin was high-
scorer for the game with 14 points.
Frail, of the Angels, who sustained
the only injury of the evening, was
high for the Angels with six.
VanDerzee could only bring out
five men, and the fact that they had
to go slow for fear of fouling out
or tiring out, gave the Gents an
edge which they took advantage of
to pile on the reserves in the second
half, Faced by Mike Rinsberg's
eight points, VanDerzee's set shots
stayed ahead until the third stanza
For the Gents, typically, Bullock,
off to a slow start, finally found the
range and dumped in 10 points to
spark the winners,
The three games were easily spot-
ted as the first of the season, with
play fast and hectic, the ball often
booted from one end of the court to
the other.
Of last year's outstanding scorers,
returning to their teams this year
Mullin was most noticeable; and of
the newcomers Heinze of the Car-
petbaggers and Amlow of the Angels
looked like the best,

“Slow Motion” Marvin Lansky oc-

Exhibit A: He's a member of the

Exhibit C: “Latherless” Lansky

high scholastically: he graduated
10th in his high school class, and
ranks in the upper quarter here at
State.
“Mel” lives in the Potter House,
and fraternally speaking, he is act-

softball. In high school, he played
varsity baseball, basketball and ten-

Currently, he is working on a
committee that is laying the ground

Compromise ond Vacation Juniors, Sophs Schedule
Annual Class Banquets
Democracy in action was demonstrated at the college this week
when as a result of the dissatisfaction with the mid-year eamination
schedule, the administration took immediate steps to alleviate the
problems pointed out in last week's editorial and the dissension among
the students and faculty.
‘According to the revised schedule, exams will begin on Wednes-
day, January 26, instead of Thursday, January 27, It was not pos-
sible to move the exam schedule back to Monday, January 24, be-
cause of the 75 class days required to be recognized as an accredited
college. However, the one day gained this semester because of ses-
sions held in October during the Lake Placid Conference when a
holiday was originally scheduled, made it possible to move exams
back one day.
With this decision, a day for conflicts could be scheduled—Satur-
day, February 5. However, there was till no time according to the
old schedule for a breathing spell—necessary to the faculty for the
determination of marks, to the registrar for the recording of marks,
to the janitorial staff for the re-arrangement of chairs, and to the
students for a much-needed rest before the 10-week session until
‘aster vacation.
An alternative was offered:
J. Spring vacation could begin one day later Wednesday, April
13 instead of Tuesday, April 12.
NOTE: (a) One day here or there makes little difference in
the spring whereas it would ike a great difference between exams.
(b) Spring vacation began on a Wednesday last year
and in years before
2. Moving-Up Day could be held on a Saturday instead of F
day
NOTE: (av)
monies:
More parents and alumni could attend: the cere-
(b) Attendance at Moving-Up Day last year was ex-
tremely poor. Drastic measureres: might have been taken if there
had been a repeat performance,
If these two changes wi made, two days from second semester
could be gained — therefore, allowing two days for vacation. ‘The plan
sounded stupendous BUT the final decision was up to the students.
Myskania and Student Council were approached as. representative
bodies in the college for their consensus of opinion, The answer was
a definite “YES ‘Take the two days now and make the necessary
changts,
Immediate administrative action: was
tion has been declared for February 7-8. Second semester class
will begin Wednesday, February 9. ‘The administration has already
sent cut official notices to the faculty of this change.
The administration has been more than fair in answering the com-
plaints issued verbally, editorially, and through student petitions
concerning this exam schedule, Recognition of this action should
be in order. Perhaps it does not take years to tuoch off any action
