Hitting Uncertain
“The team is rounding into shape
nicely,” commented Greenspan. “The
pitchers are beginning to bear down | Monday
and the fellows are still: hitting—
our success will depend upon whether
or not the fellows can really hit ina
game, We will be as good as, if not
better than, last year's team in the
field.”
After speaking to the loqacious
Greenspan your reporter had a hard
time getting anything definite from
Coach Hatfield. “I don't know what
we'll be able to do and I won't put
myself out on a limb by making
predictions as to our ability in the
field or at bat. We'll just have to
wait till we get into action to see
what happens.”
RPI Loses to Trinity
As for RPI, they lost their opener
to Trinity College last Saturday by
a 10 to 5 score, It was Trinity's
seventh straight victory. RPI was
able to garner only four singles and
five runs—all unearned. Coach
Walter Nelson had previously rated
his team as “little stronger than last
year's edition.”

To Produce ‘Street Scene’;
No Revenues Expected
Dramatics and Arts Council made
public today the fact that it has
been forced to borrow money from
a private source in order to pay
the costs of its major dramatic
production of the year, Street Scene.
This action was made necessary by
the almost complete exhaustion of
the Dramatics and Arts’ treasury
through unexpected defense tax
payments of more than $100.
The Dramatics and Arts’ budget,
which had been made out last year,
contained no provision for the pay-
ment of these taxes. Revision of
the budget this year to include
the finest concerts since the organization of the State College Symphony
Orchestra three years ago by a wild-
haired freshman, Bernard Perlman,
Perlman’s efforts reached a high last
night by the ovation given him by an
audience satisfied by an evening of
fine musical entertainment.
A little weak in the opening meas-
ures, the orchestra soon gained the
confidence and steadiness which pre-
vailed for the rest of the evening;
@ sureness that was evidenced in a
polished performance.
Outstanding individual performer
of the evening was John Nordell who
not only accompanied the Choral So-
ciety in its selections, but rendered

Don’t Mortgage the Futurel
This has been a year of recurring financial crises.
First it was the imposition of National Defense
taxes, then it was the Finance Board budget cuts,
finally it was the setting of the Student Association
budget; now Dramatics and Arts Council has been
smitten. With the final draining of its financial
reservoir, D & A has been forced to borrow money
from a “private source” to pay for Street Scene, its
final production. This most recent financial head-
ache has been aggravated by the fact that Council
has no visible means for repayment of the $120 it
has borrowed,
D & A this year has run the gamut of finance.
‘The days were prosperous indeed when Otis Skinner
yielded a profit which was turned over to Student
Association cheerleaders. This was consistent with
D & A’s policy of returning all profits and surpluses
to Student Association, Now there are no more sur-
pluses and D & A faces a critical period.
National Defense taxes have placed D & A
Council in the awkward position in which it finds
itself today. When this year’s budget was drawn
up, there was no provision for defense taxes. Little
by little, taxes ate into D & A funds, and now the
funds are gone.
What should be done? This much is certain. The
debt of $120 must not be carried over to next year.
‘The future must not be jeopardized by the debts
of today, There must be no mortgage hanging over
next year’s Council to hamper its activities. The
debt must be paid this year,
‘This may be done by either of two methods: by
obtaining a grant from the Student Association
“untouchable” surplus of $300 or by charging ad-
mission to Street Scene. Inasmuch as D & A has
been turning profits from its production over to
Student Association, there is small reason that there
should not be reciprocity. The “untouchable” sur-
plus was designed for emergencies, ‘This is an emer-
gency, In addition, the surplus has been guaran-
teed for the future by the compulsory payment of |
student tax, [f this plan proves impossible, the
ative is to charge admission at Street Scene,
This is no time for recrimination, ‘The student
body cannot disassociate itsel! from D & A’s erisi
The problem of any one activity in the college
the problem of the whole college. A debt of D & A
is the debt of the entire student body. However
D & A solves its problem—by a grant from asso-
ciation funds or by charging admission at Street
Scene—it must have student support

Chem Club Experiments
State College extra-class educational precedent
has been shattered, and startlingly enough by a de-
partmental club. Chemistry Club gave its members
a chance to learn something first-hand about the
all-important Regents Ixaminations. This source
of knowledge came from the State Supervisor of
Science, Dr, Elis Manning, in a talk Tuesday night
from eastern and central New York State, It is
true, that many in attendance did not agree fully
with all that Dr. Manning said, but the fact that
they heard his viewpoints on such a vital question
is indeed an excellent step forward,

Noivhere so bisy a man as ther nas,
And y.t he seemed bisier than he was.
— Chaucer
Busy. Over a thousand students at State College
will admit that. they ‘are busy—too busy for many
things they would like to do, like to see, like to say.
Why is this true not only of this college but of others
throughout the nation. Are students too busy with
academic pursuits, too engrossed in social activities?
No, the main reason is that like oysters, We are liv-
ing in our respective shells, in this case State Col-
lege, and have not yet gained sufficient maturity to
emerge as adults, to put aside trivial matters, and to
live in the present.
As a Whole we are absorbed in the activities of our
own small sphere. Students dash to
Tempest classes, then to the Publications office
InA or the Commons, and if necessity
Teapot makes it inevitable, to the library to
skim through the last assignment be-
fore the bell tolls the approach of an oncoming class.
Interest and activity lies in and about the college it-
self and in the people with whom we come into con-
tact. Our horizons have not been sufficiently broad-
ened, so that as the result we are not intelligently
interested in the outside world or in problems of the
present day.
We are living in a time of crisis. This moment in
the cycle of life is being balanced on the scales of
fate. No matter what the result of the present inter-
national crisis, a different world awaits the outcome,
These changes may take place within a generation,
for we are faced not by a war between nations, but a
social, economic, and political world-wide revolution.
Now is the time to learn, plan, and prepare, for when
adjustment must be immediate, it is too late for
planning. The individual himself has a role to play,
for each must have his masterplan or philosophy of
life, which must be dynamic, not passive, compre-
hensive, not narrow. The fate of the world rests on
individual philosophy. Der Feuhrer exemplifies this
point well, It remains for us to develop our democratic
doctrines as individuals, and to merge into the higher
concept of broader interests.
The world is crumbling around us, turning to dust,
ashes, and dirt. What are we doing? What are we
thinking: dates, bull sessions on sex, and if our minds
are perhaps inclined to soar, petty par-

Just in case anyone thinks that
the days of the pioneers are entirely
a thing of the past, it is now pos-
sible to present at State College a
living specimen of that hardy race
—one Charles Quinn,
Two weeks ago, Charlie went
pioneering — to Whitesboro, His
trip lasted for four days. During
that time, Charlie became a teacher,
taking over a full teaching schedule,
(‘I taught five social studies
classes, a home room and a study
hall every day .. .”)
The whole story ties up with the
five-year plan. It is by now com-
mon knowledge that extended fifth
year off-campus teaching is being
contemplated. Quinn’s trip was the
first such venture and of course a
purely experimental one.
Said Dr. Robert W. Frederick,
Principal of the Milne School: “This
trip is the first of what is to be
an extended series. By such experi-
ments as this one we intend to
find out just how these trips should
be handled. We want to know this,
of course, long before they become
a reguar part of the curriculum.
For instance, one of the most im-
portant things that we want to
know is how long they should be.”
Quinn, back from his travels, was
entirely enthusiastic.
but is certainly was enjoyable. I
personally would recommend a stay
of about two weeks. That is a long
jenough time for you to become
familiar with the work that you are
doing. Four days hardly suffice.

structor in English, who is leaving
State next year for two years of
study at Cornell will be the guest
of honor.
On May 11, the day after their
dance, Sigma Lambda Sigma will

was sitting in front of him. She was
quite equal to the situation. She
turned around and gave him a
roundhouse right that landed on his

laughing at that, but I put on as
straight a face as I could and
shouted, ‘Cut that out,’ They must
have thought that I meant what
I said. For the next five minutes,
they had the most solomn bunch
of faces that I ever saw.”
Charlie took over for three days
the entire teaching duties of one
of the school’s regular teachers, |
“The girl had just been engaged,
he explains. “She was in no condi-
tion to teach. She was spending all
of her time up in the clouds.

Quinn lived with two State grad-
uates who are teaching there now,
Tommy Barrington, '36, and George
Mallinson, '38,
Quinn stated that the most sur-

Orchids this week should be
showered down upon the brainy
brows of the chessmen, recent con-
querors of Colgate and champions
of the Upper Hudson Valley Chess
League by virtue of that conquest.
The 15-inch silver cup which ac-
companies the champlonship is a
tangible symbol of the great strides
which the pawnpushers have made
in their relatively brief existence
at State.
Plans made by the chess club for
next year would indicate that the
boys are aiming for even greater
strides in the future. A complete
reorganization of the club, from
which the team stems, has been
effected with the intention of “de-
mocratizing” the setup. More at-
tractive meeting programs will be
the theme for next year, accord-
ing to a spokesman of the organiza-
tion, and it is hoped that this re-
form will draw more non-team
member chess enthusiasts to the
get-togethers. Features intended to
spark the meetings include ten-
second matches (in which the par-
ticipants are allowed ten seconds
to move) and instruction for any-
one wanting to learn the game.
Affairs of the chess club and
team for next year will be in the

The Gophers won by forfeit last

A. M, tomorrow for their second
contest of the current season, booked
with Coach “Clip” McKillop’s Pratt
Institute lads on the latter's field
in Bayridge, Brooklyn.
The Statesmen will be out in an
effort to avenge themselves of two
defeats handed them by the metro-
politan nine last year. On their last
trek to the city, the locals lost by
a very close margin.
Pratt Unpredictable
It would require a lot of con-
jecture to make a prediction con-
cerning the probable results of to-
morrow's game. Coach McKillop’s
boys lost to Stevens Tech by a score
of 3-2; and came back strong the
following game to shower Upsala,
30-7.
On Wednesday, May 14, the State
diamondeers will play their return
game with RPI, The game will be
played in Troy because of an agree-
ment to the effect made with the
Engineers, but it will represent the
“home” game for State in their
bookings with the Rensselaer team.
Lost First Game
Last Wednesday the local squad
bussed over to RPI and were shaded
by the Engineers, 9-6.
Although the Trojans had the long
end of the final tally, the State team
outhit its opponents. Rensselaer
garnered most of its runs on free
passes issued by Van Ellis.
Larry Balog, team captain, pil-
fered a couple of sacks at a critical
point in the game, Vince Gillen

Appropriation from 1942 Budget
Will Meet Probable Deficit
From Spring Production
The financial situation facing the
Dramatics and Arts Council was
partially alleviated this week when
the group secured tax exemption
for Street Scene, the annual spring
production of the Advanced Dra-
matics class, which is being spon-
sored by the council, This action
was secured by the efforts of Dor-
othea Maclsaac, ‘42, and Earle Snow,
‘44, who arranged an appointment
with Mr, Hofflinger of the Internal
Revenue Department, which result-
ed in the granting of exemption on
the grounds of the educational value
of the presentation.
Shortage Due To Tax
Last week the council released the
information that it had been forced
to borrow a substantial amount in
order to sponsor Stree! Scenc, and
that unless a profit is made, the
necessary money will be provided
from next year's appropriation:
