STATE COLLEGE NEWS, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1943
Better Opportunities for Students
With Master Degree, Says Nelson
This is the third in a series of
articles which will appear in the
News on “Why Remain in Teach-
ing?” They are written by eminent
members of the faculty. This article
is by Dr, Milton G. Nelson, Dean
of the College.
“After a superintendent of a
school, where a teaching position is
vacant, certifies to the state depart~
ment of education that he is unable
to find a licensed teacher to fill that
vacaney, he may hire a promising
person who has completed her se~
nior year in preparation for teach-
ing, This person receives a tem-
porary license and thus becomes a
teacher. She receives an immediate
return on her investment and gains
experience which will make ad-
vanced work more meaningful. She
helps to fill an emergency situation
and has her chance to decide if
teaching is worthwhile. In addition
she becomes a year or more older
depending how long the emergency
continues. During this time, she
may become acquainted with the
young man sooner, so that advanced
work doesn't mean so much.
“There are certain disadvantages
to leaving college after four years
of training. As soon as the emer-
gency ends, temporary licenses ex-
pire. The teacher with a temporary
certificate must return to college to
complete her advanced work be-
cause the shortage will cease to
exist. After she has completed her
fifth year of work, this same teacher
will enter the market when persons
returning from military and naval
service and industry will probably
form a glut of secondary school
teachers, This will mean that when
she finally comes out with her life
certificate, she will be competing in
a buyer's market for teachers and
not in a seller’s market.
“However, if a student does her
fifth year work immediately, it is
highly probable that she will earn
her life certificate to teach and will
enter the field in a seller's market.
All indications point to a continu-
ance of this world emergency be-
yond June 1944,
“A person who has a job, who
holds a life license to teach, and who
is doing satisfactory work can be
expected to be continued in the
position, unless she is filling in for
someone for whom a leave of ab-
sence has been granted,
“The chief advantages for con-
tinuing the fifth year of study im-
mediately are:
1, She has probable better con-
ditions under which to begin work
with a life certificate.
2. That person is a year older,
one year more mature, and there-
fore probable success is more cer-
tain,
3. Persons, working under a tem-
porary license, face a continual
worry which cannot help but af-
fect their work.
4. A teacher with a temporary
certificate cannot build herself into
the life of a community.
5. A teacher with a life license
can look forward to a series of
bonuses and increments; a teacher
on a temporary license sacrifices all
increments when she returns | to
complete her fifth year of work.
Forum Will Preview,
WAC Radio Program
“What is going to happen to Ger-
many and the German people after
the war?” This is a question that
has puzzled many, and in order to
start students thinking and discuss-
ing the problem, War Council has
planned a radio program early next
week which will take the form of
an extemporaneous panel discus-
sion.
To aid the students who will take
part in the discussion, the next
meeting of Forum will be a sound-
ing board. The members will hear
the discussion as proposed and offer
criticisms and suggestions for im-
proving it. The meeting will be
held next Wednesday in the Lounge

War Fronts by Feigenbaum
Rommel Nearing Mediterranean;
Russians Continue to Drive West
Last week Erwin Rommel, the
wily desert fox, made his bid for
more elbow room in Central Tu-
nisia, and he succeeded in driving
the American forces back to the
Algerian frontier, Latest reports
from North Africa tell how Rommel
got his elbow smashed by combined
American and British artillery and
ailreraft. The Nazis are retreating
through the Kasserine Pass which
has been turned into a veritable
graveyard for German and Italian
soldiers by the constant pounding
of big Allied bombers. American
infantry and mechanized units re-
port that they are taking prisoners
and a huge amount of abandoned
equipment.
Rommel had hoped that the Bri
ish 8th Army would delay their
attack on the Mareth line in South-
ern Tunisia. However, General
Sir B. L. Montgomery, who proved
he was Rommel’s master in Egypt
and Libya, gave his opponent no
respite and started his advance
upon the Mareth Line, The vet-
eran 8th Army is reported to be
blasting the French-built fortifica-
tions with every bit of artillery
which it can muster. This is the
preliminary to the smashing assault
by infantry and tanks which will
attempt to crack the line, and send
Rommel running toward Northern
Tunisia.
Russia
The news from Russia has not
been very specific for the last week.
‘There are very few names men-
tioned in the communiques from
Moscow, but it is announced that
the Red Army is continuing its ad-
vance west of Kharkov.
The next Russian objective on the
tral front is the city of Orel. This
is an important railroad junction,
and its capture by the Red Army
would be disastrous to the Nazis’
lines of communication.
Moscow dispatches indicate that
the Russians are still advancing
toward the Dneiper River across the
Donets Basin. In this advance it
was necessary that the German
Army in the Donets Basin be by-
passed. However, the Russians
launched a simultaneous encircling
movement in the direction of Tag-
anrog on the Sea of Azov. Tagan-
rog is the anchor of the German
defense lines in this area.
South Pacific
The war in the Pacifie has
evolved into heavy bombing raids
by Allied aircraft against Jap posi-
tions. General MacArthur an-
nounced that Japanese naval forces
are refusing to challenge the U.S.
Fleet to a knockdown and drag-out
fight. Strong enemy task forces
which were sighted last week were
seared off by the appearance of
units of the Southwest Pacific
Fleet. Both sides are obviously
consolidating their positions and
regrouping their forces for new
operations.
Continued progress is being made
in New Guinea with continued air
attacks against the Jap held posi
tions at Lai. American forces are
now within 12 miles of the strong
fortified Jap strongholds.
Cheers and Jeers

tic of the State College dramatic
critic. But we have the audacity
to think that we know a good play
when we see one. And we just
saw two.
Trece Aney took the spotlight
for Nancy Wileox’s play. After
seeing her excellent, well-sustained
portrayal of the old’ Welsh peasant,
we the audience cast our vote for
her as the most outstanding and
versatile actress of the year.
Art Collins, in our opinion,
turned in his best performance to
date. Always competent, this time
he outdid himself. Confidentially,
we thought his make-up was too
heavy
Breunig and Stitt showed the
possibilities of humor in contrast.
and they certainly added atmos-
phere. Everson Kinn did a com-
petent job.
We heard someone say that the
plot “wasn't so hot"—to which we
agree. But we must also realize
that many and many plays are not
written for plot, but for character
and situation, ‘The musical back-
round was especially effective in

year, and shows a lot of hard work

kins. Although lighting for an out-
door scene is usually not too com-
plicated, in this play it was so ar.

Hidley Emphasizes Longevity
As Motivation for Future Teachers
This is the fourth of a series of
articles which will appear in the

is written by Dr. Clarence A. Hid-
ley, Professor of Social Studies.
It is said that vital statistics re-
veal the interesting information
that barbers and teachers have the
longest life expectancy among c!
sified occupations and_ professions.
Leaving barbers out, if you would
live long, teaching offers the best
opportunity of seeing old age. Life
and accident companies from their
actuarial experience offer the best
premium risk to the teaching pro-
fession, so if you are looking for
st security against physi-
cidental violent

and the least time for it. “As busy
as a teacher” is more than a funny
expression. For a college student
facing the choice of entering and
remaining in study “for the fulfill-
ment of requirements,” contempla-
tion of these advantages is indeed
a comfortable feeling, however
boresome the going over five years
may become. In the long run
through life, a comfortable feeling
and an easy conscience are worth
enduring the “hardship of study”
even for five years of such hard-
ship. And after all what is time to
a collegian anyway!
There is nothing in this world—

education and the attainment of a
degree bring to the pleasure of liv-

tempting and uncertain times, until

STATE COLLEGE NEWS, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1943
ON THE
BALL
|___By Stan Gipp-——_—
The destiny of State’s athletic
participation in intercollegiate cir-
cles appears doomed for the dura-
tion at least. The unforunate fate
of the baseball, tennis and golf
schedules seems certain to be fol-
lowed by basketball next year,
leaving only the intramural ‘pro
gram to challenge the physical in-
terests of State’s males. Despite the
disappearance of sporting events,
measures should be taken now to
retain the sporting spirit, and plans
should be made now for the revival
of all these sports on a larger scale
than ever before.
New York State's teachers col-
leges have long been first scholas-
tically, but have just as long taken
a back seat to other schools in
physical prowess. This, to some of
us men, is just as important as
mental or aesthetic talents. If State
ever expects to get men in this
institution, it will be necessary
offer an athletic program to att
and interest them
Naturally we all expect to see the
revival of baseball, basketbal
nis and golf with the scheduling of
games with teams of equal strength
However, we would like to go
step farther and suggest the intro~
duction of intercollegiate football,
This can probably never be real~
ized, however, without the co~
operation of the students, the
administration, the state, and the
other six New York State Teacher
Colleges. A tentative plan would
be to organize a six-man football
league composed of these colleges;
then, due to the attraction of men
to ours and these other institutions
by this program, the strength and
size of these squads would be in-
creased, and eleyen-man football
would be possible and_ practical.
This program is admittedly dis-
tant and weak at present, but we
hope it presents something to think
about and something to work for
to those freshmen, Sophomores, and
Upper-classmen who intend to com-
plete their work towards a degree
here at State.

ssion

Activity in the intramural league

to complete the schedule before
more players left school. A varsity

down the numbers of contests
played.
The Finks resumed their winning

At last, we have our long awaited
chance. Now, we, the Sophomore
sports writers, can air our views
of the feminine sports world,
Frankly, we think that in_the
field of sports, the girls of the Class
of '45 are tops. We know our read-
ers (if any) will immediately say
we're prejudiced, but stop a minute
and look at the record:
From the very beginning, at
Frosh camp, the Soph gals have
been active athletically, At camp,
great was the enthusiasm shown
over tennis, swimming, hiking, and
all the other sports offered.
Remember how Flo Garfall
walked off with the tennis trophy
in our Freshman year? She still
has it and will, until this year's
tournament is completed in the
spring, Undoubtedly it will stay
in the hands of ‘45, for Flo's fiers
competition is offered by another
Sophomore, Nora Giavelli
so good that she even competed in
the men's tourney last year, so we
predict that the completion of this
year's contest will be very exciting
Many were the Sophomores who
came out for — sports yea
The Basketball League and rival
games drew a great deal of these.
If the C! of ‘44 hadn't been so
lucky, we're sure we would have
won that all-important rivalry
game.
This year, three intrepid Sophs
invaded’ the men's territory. and
hazarded their commando course
the Nov. 13 News for complete
details.) Have any girls from the
lasses accomplished a similar
, No, and simply because they
haven't the spirit and hardiness of
us Sophs.
And none other than our own
president knocked down the pins
to carn the highest bowling seore
this year, Take a bow, Flo, that
199 should make you feel pretty
good.
And who are the three remaining
members of the fencing classe
Three Sophomores, of course—-Bos
w Schlott, and Curran. It’s too
had some of you freshmen, Juniors,
and Seniors don’t give these gals a
little competition. Don't forget. you
can still get fencing credit, too
So, we say again, we think the
Soph’ girls are just about tops in
sports, Don't you agree now?

The bowling league continues to

Case No. 1-An Editorial
Democracy at State College has become an institution. So
much so that the few exceptions are glaring blots on the tried and
true paper of the American system. We,
s State College students,
should be proud cnough of our privileges to desire rectification of
these errors.
‘Today the Srarre GouLrce
News prints a feature story on the
“gripe” session held by the women of Pierce Hall ‘Tuesday evening.
Although the meeting was treated in a humorous vein, the dormi-
tory women believe firmly in their case, and their problems should
be considered seriously by the councilors of Pierce Hall, Residence
Council and State College
a whole.
Of greater moment is the cise of Residence Council, ‘he
students of State College will agre
that the council with its Judi-
cial Board, is an integral mechanism in the establishment: and
maintenance of residence regulations
Its existence is desirable not
only from the standpoint of the women it concerns, but also from
the point of view of the parents.
And since it is a body which
makes and revises rules, provides for their enforcement and exacts
penalties for their infraction, it inevitably meets with the disfavor
al some of those who come under ity jurisdiction.
Whether or not some of the past actions of Residence Council
have gone beyond the pale of popular opinion is not our concern,
We are interested only in the promotion of a closer understanding
and cooperation between the Council and the women it governs.
Voward this end, we
believe that there is but one solution-
thorough and complete democratization of Residence Council,
To accomplish this, we propose the following:
1. That a committee composed of faculty and student mem-
bers be organized to revise residence rules;
2. That the resulling revisions be submitted at group house
meetings to all women concerned;
3. That at these meetings, the rules be explained and left
open to auestion or challenge;
4. That no rule ever be put into effect without ratification
by 2 3 of the women;
5. That this voting be supervised by Residence Council
representatives;
6. That no judgment on the infra
‘ion of council regula-
tions be made without a hearing prior to imposing of the penalty.

Pierce Hall Has Open Meeting;
Women Voice Squawks, Gripes
In an attempt to bring to light
those rules and regulations govern-
ing Pierce Hall which the women
of that dormitory feel are unsatis-
factory, an open meeting was held
‘Tuesday evening at Pierce Hall
(Ed note: A’ discussion of the
questions which concern dormitory
women should be of interest to the
cntire student body.)
The Dormitory Council, whieh
ws fur as TP know has no constita-
tional basis for existence, sets itself
upous an arbitrary body. Its is
responsible to no one, and yet its
rules are used as a basis for gov-
cerning the entire dormitory", said
one woman Since this council has
such wide authority over their lives,
the women felt that they should be
hetter represented on at Such a
motion was made As a result of
this motion five representatives
from the dormitory and one from
each cottage will be elected in the
near future. This will tend to
demoeratize the council, but its de-
cisions will still be final and subject
to no revisions by the girls them-
selves,
Since a purpose of the meeting
was to bring to light any “gripes”
one woman started the ball rolling
by saying
Turn off the light on the front
poreh. I'm tired of having curs stop
across the street just to watch me
ood=night to my date.”
Another added, “Why can't we
wear our hair ‘up! to breakfast. In
the morning J have to put my hair
‘up! and take it ‘down’ so often 1
feel like a ferris wheel by the time
T yet to school Everyone laughed
and agreed that it was a nuisance.
Toyota warning for taking a
shower five minutes after eleven
Why should 1 be the goat when no
where else in the darmitory is the
rule enforced?
To want to gripe’ about the table
manners. Last night sumeone threw
a pivee of pie at me. That's the last
straw 1 didn't even like the pie.”
And_ everybody having enjoyed
himself and having been relieved of
his favorite “gripe” the meeting
disbanded.
At this meeting, the committee
discussed plans for the proposed
enlargement of the college's enroll-
ment, Both the State Col.ece
News and Press Bureau will work
with the committee toward this end.
A special issue of the News is
planned to display the facilities of
State to those interested in becom-
tudents of the college. Press
1 will aid in publicizing the
college and its students, The
alumni and branches of the Alumni
Association will also be asked to
aid in the drive for more students
for State, by contacting various
prospects insofar as it is possible.
Dr. Louis C. Jones, Assistant
Professor of English, is chairman of
the publicity committee. The other
members are: Faculty, Dr, Howard
Do Bell, Professor of Mathematics;
Mrs. Agnes Underwood, Secretary

state, selected as places for holding
personal interviews with prospec-
tive State students. April 15 to
May 15 the tentative period
chosen for the interviews.
The special issue of the News
will be published on March 26, and
will be distributed to all persons
interviewed for admission to the
college, and to other prospects. This
issue will emphasize every phase of
State College life, not only those
phases included in the Freshman
Handbook, but also such things as
life, faculty-student relation-
famous luates of Sta
y at work in the college,
and State College and the war ef-
fort. A large spread of cuts, includ-
ing views of the college and its ac-
tivities, will be featured.
Press Bureau Aids
Press Bureau will have an im-
portant role to play in the cam-
paign, Its work of publicizing the
college and the students will be ex-
tended. It has been the accom-
plishment of the Bureau to pub=
licize every State College student
at least once during the year, in
home-town and Albany ers:
For the first time, the alumni of
the college will be asked to work
with the administration and the stu-
dents in order to insure the suce
of the commiltee's work, In other
colleges, the alumni have a definite
vole to play in the reeruiting of new
students State College alumni
i r evinced such an inter-
nor has the college ever at-
mpted to create such an interest
Furthermor the famous alumni
have never received sufficient pub-
nd, in Mr. Genumel's opinion,
y should be encouraged to co-
operate more actively with the col-
lege.
Mr. Arvid Burke, '28, President
of the Alumni Association, has sent
a letter to the Alumni Association,
stressing the need for students at
Stute College, and the value for stu-
dents here and in the teaching field
6,000 copies of this letter will be
made, and sent out with the Alumni
Day announcements in April
