State Debaters to Meet
Strong Dayton Team
Friedlander and Lovalenti ?
Will Uphold Negative
Issue of N. L. R. B.
HARD SCHEDULE AHEAD
Debate Council Plans Radio
Broadcasts Over Local
Networks, Soon
Tonight at 8:15 o'clock in the
Lounge of Richardson hall, State
will meet the star debate team of
Dayton university, which is on the
Eastern tour, according to William
Bradt, '38, president of Debate coun-
cil. The Dayton team debated pre-
viously at Niagara university and
Syracuse university and it has on
its calendar debates with New York
university, Villanova college and
Penn State college.
The men who will represent the
Dayton team are: Daniel Hobbs,
winner of the President’s plaque for
debating in 1936 and winner of Dr,
D. C. Reilly oratorical contest in
1936 and 1937 and George L. Wolf,
manager of Debate in 1937 and 1938,
has three years of university debat-
ing experience in back of him.
Leonard Friedlander and Thomas
Lovalenti, juniors, will uphold the
negative on the question: The na~
tional labor relations board. The
debate will be conducted on the Ore-
gon style which permits cross-ques-
tioning of the opposite teams,
The debate teams had an active
season last semester and an even
more strenuous schedule is planned
this semester. All the debates have
been either panel discussions or non- |
decision debates, Facts count more
in these debates than showmanship,
The debate teams have a combina-
tion of both, with the result that
they are experiencing a successful
season.
The debates are concerned with the |
coming Constitutional convention.
The debates conductea in this city
before the Rotary club and Women's
club, featured the probable issues
that might come up at the conven-
tion, The debates at the colleges
outside the state concerned them-
selves with a discussion of Unicam-
eralism,
Under the guidance of Mr. William
Hardy, instructor in English, the de-
bate squad has become a prominent |
institution at State. Governor Her-
bert H, Lehman sent a letter to Mr.
Hardy, commending the way our
teams have conducted themselves at |
the various debates throughout the
city, Mr. Hardy also has a debate
seminar for all members of the var-
sity.
State college will begin a new in-
novation next month, in that it in:
tends to broadcast its debates over
the local stations.

Helen Fay, Former Co-op Head,
Is Board Member of Magazine
by Charles Kelley
If you are young enough, and are
nding the New York Central this
month, you will be presented the
current issue of “Story Parade," a
popular story magazine for children,
The person largely responsible for
this gift is Miss Helen Fay, a former
member of the faculty of State
college, and former manager of the
college Co-op.
In this issue of “Story Para
the interesting tale of “Curly Top" is
told, Violet Schmidt, of Elkhart,
Indiana, was a young girl of five
when she and her family were forced
to live near the New York Central
Railroad tracks over which the
“Twentieth Century” sped each day,
The swiftly moving train fascinated
Violet, and each day, she would
faithfully come to the same spot and
watch it go by. One day a man in
one of the cars waved, and the small
girl timidly waved back, Thereafter,
this became @ regular event in her
day which could not be omitted for
van thine: not even games and par-
tles, Soon the porters, conductors,
and the whole crew of the train
became accustomed to seeing the
{cheery smile and greeting of “Curly
Top" as the men called her, After
jthree years, the trainmen gave her
the title “Curly Top, the Sweetheart
of the Twentieth Century.” The presi-
dent of the railroad heard about
her, and had Curly Top and her
mother as special guests on the fam-
ous train, Later the young girl was
taken to New York City to celebrate
the birthday of the “Twentieth Cen-
tury.”
‘This incident has been written up
as @ narrative tale for children in
the current issue of “Story Parade,”
Miss Fay, field representative on the
editorial board of the magazine,
realizing the interest and enjoyment
this story would have for young pas-
sengers on the trains, convinced the
railroad officials that they should
buy 1600 copies of the magazine, and
distribute them to their small guests,

Interest in the coming constitu-
tional convention to take place in
the New York State assembly cham-
bers, April 5, is evidenced by the
numerous newspaper articles and
debates in the high schools and
colleges throughout the state. There
will be 168 delegates; three from
each senatoria) district and fifteen
delegates at large. The Republicans
exceed with 91 delegates, the Demo-
crats with 76, and one Fusionist from
New York city,
The people of New York are gov-
erned under the 1895 constitution at
the present time, At the 1915 con-
vention, there was an attempt to re-
vise the constitution but the people
didn't accept the revision, However,
the constitution has been changed
through amendments which have
been voted upon in the regular elec-
tions.
According to Dr. Rienow, instruc-
lor in government, the main. issues
at the convention will be: (1) Gas
Taxes--An attempt by the conven-
Uon to modify the constitution so
that the gas taxes will be used for
highway purposes alone and not dis-
tributed to any other departments
of the government as {t now ts done;
(2) Civil Bervice--An attempt to
strengthen the now existing clvil
service laws in the state and make
them more enforcable; (3) Reap-
portionment will cause the greatest
dispute at the convention because
New York city wants representatives
in proportion to its population while
the up-staters want weighted repre-
sentation; (4) The convention will
take up the reorganizi.tion of state
departments, eliminating some of
them and consolidation of others
in order to get rid of the waste in
ineffictent government,
For the college assembly, the state
State Constitutional Convention
To Meet in Albany Next April
or organized ‘nto as assembly districts districts
which have an assembly leader and
publicity director who contact the
local civic organizations.
Letters from Herbert H, Lehman
and Charles Poletti were received,
praising the work of State college
students for their work and also for
thelr interest in civic government,
Associate commissioner of Educa-
tion, George Wiley, became interest-
ed in the work here. He sent out
messages to the high schools of the
state encouraging the teachers and
students to take active interest in
the coming convention and sug-
gested high school debates as the
means of discussing the issues, The
New York State Education maga-
vine has allowed a page to Dr,
Rienow to discuss the work of State
college students,
At the convention, the public will
be allowed to voice its opinion on
the floor of the assembly, At the
present lime, the committee here
wishes to send a speaker to voice
foe college's opinion in the assem-
bly.
Dr, Rienow recently stated in ref-
erence to the work of the high
schools, “At the discussion groups,
local experts and business men are
called in to give testimony and are
cross-questioned by the students,
hool has reached a decis-
jon, {t secures tno endorsements of
various civic organizations in its
locality, The main object is to
direct public opinion to the {ssues
confronting the people.”
This work gives the students act-
ual practice in the formation of gov-
ernmental law and some idea of the
function and work of their govern-
ment. The students are becoming
citizens of thelr community and will
become effective citizens when they
are able to vote.

College Constitutional Assembly
Next month will see the start of the New
York State Constitutional Convention and
the climax of the State College Constitu-
tional assembly.
Last Nevember, under the quick and
efficient leadership of Dr. Robert Rienow,
instructor in government, interested stu-
dents of the college organized an assemhly
whose purpose was to acquaint State col-
lege students with the practical aspects of
politics today, Student officers were elect-
ed and soon the assembly was conducting
its meetings regularly. The entire student
body was divided into groups, each group
comprising all the people from each of the
senatorial districts of New York state,
These groups chose their leaders who are
working as the connecting links between !
the college and the constitutional delegates
and civic organizations in their home town
districts.
During assembly meetings, resolutions
are introduced on some measure pertinent
to the time. If these resolutions are con-
sidered worthy of further investigation they
are igned to committees for study. The
committee members, chosen from the Con-
stitutional assembly enthusiasts, study the
problem and offer its findings to the gen-
eral assembly in the form of a report. Then
follows discussion of the report and a vote
to determine the assembly's stand on the
matter,
The file of these votes indicates the at-
titude which members of the college assem-
bly will take when they attend the open
meetings of the state convention, May suc-
cess be theirs next month,
Between the Acts
An Objective test for Ladies and Gentlemen
During the time between acts of invited
artists or between dramatics plays while
students are playing musical instruments,
one should (1) whistle to see if one can
outdo the musicians (2) stretch with a loud
yawn and sleep (3) see how far one can
lean from the balcony without falling (4)
make airplanes and other devices and sail
them over into the audience (5) appreciate
the between-act entertainment quietly,
Number 5 is the correct answer, Would you
believe it?
STATE COLLEGE NEWS, MARCH 4, 1938
Civic Responsibilities |
COMMENTSTATER. |
Now that the worries, dreads, horrors, headaches
and panics brought on by last semester's examinations |
are the furthest thought from our minds, we are able |
to turn our attention and efforts to activities less aca- |
demic in nature. This means that we now can give
a little more thought to the social and civic aspects |
of our existence at State, |
However, the social aspect is beyond our consid-
eration here. It’s the civic that We want to hit out at
and that's the current lack of civic-mindedness so
excessively evident among the enthusiastic “stoogents”
of this institution, By this we mean the absence of
a general interest in the campus problems of State,
evidenced by a sort of I-don't-care or What's-it-all-
about attitude displayed by the average student citizen.
A reason for this is probably that each is so very, very
busily concerned with his own petty social and aca-
demic problems, so wrapped up in his own self-con-
tained world, that he does not even bother to stop
and consider what's what in his campus life. We
don't want you to get the impression that this applies
to everyone. Yes, we are happy to say there are a
few who are alert enough to be interested tn civic
matters,
But before we go any further, we ought to cite an
example of what we're driving at, A question which
should have caused much thought and discussion was
that of the recent action of the sophomore class in
petitioning Myskania for the re-establishment of the
wearing of freshman caps, a question which is vital to
every member of the student body, But did it cause
any semblance of a furor? Very, very little, All we
could notice was a few letters sent to the editor of
this publication and a mention of it here and there.
But what does this all lead to, you ask, It means
simply that we as prospective teachers are failures as
citizens of State college.
bit Sunday-schoolish, but we do want to drive this
thought home—that if we are to strive to become
reasonably good teachers, we must strive to become '
reasonatéy good citizens here at State, As teachers,
We will be expected to Instill within our pupils the
Ideals, or at least a concept of citizenship, But how
can we expect to do this in later life if we cannot now
learn to do so in our collegiate days?
Therefore we make this plea.’ Let's strive to be-
come better citizens, Let’s attend more class meetings
and participate in them. Let's give more attention
and consideration to assembly business meetings, Let's
discuss and think more among ourselves about campus
problems, And lastly, let's express our serious opinions
and make ourselves heard through the medium of the
student publications, the News, the Lion, and the
Echo, In other words, let's become efficlent youthful
eltizens now, so that in later life we'll become efficient
adult citizens,

Forgotten Battles
“Action at Aquila,” by Hervey Allen, Farrar and Rine-
hart, N. Y., 369 pages:
(On Sale in the Co-op)
In a few brief moments, the thoughts of the varied
and colorful events of his month's leave of absence
crowd the reality of the ever-present Civil War from
| the mind of Colonel Nat Franklin, stationed with his
men at Aquila, in the heart of the Shenandoah Valley.
As he arouses himself from his reverie, he begins
to examine minutely the valley which lies before him,
No sign of life, yet Colonel Franklin 1s not satisfied;
exploring, he finds traces of a Confederate family in
which he is Interested, and for whom he has been
looking,
Taking Uiem under bis protection, he becomes very
fond of them, and finally, after the battle of Aquila
in which two of thelr loved ones are killed, marries
the widow, The battle of Aquila was such that of it
was sald, "Il was hardly well known enough even to be
forgotten—it was scarcely remembered at all, It was
all over tn a few moments, all but the grief and suffer.
ing.”
As he nears his death, during the Ume of the
Spanish-American war, his own experlenee and keen
perception make him realize that when a nation says:
“Now we are engaged in a great war to..." the “now”
has no end to it, Tt renews itself for each man, and
so for all men in the ever-lasting present, It is an
eternal now that belongs to the ages. It means forever,
This is a completely different type from his
“Anthony Adverse,” yet it shows his mastery of power.
fully moving descriptive and conversational style, ‘This
hook presents both sides of a minute portion of the
War, and brings clearer understanding of the horrors
of any war, with realization cf the terrible damages
of just @ few active moments, taken from years of a
single needless war.

Tommy Ryan will never forget that
round of applause which he received

moments of the R, P. I, tilt... we
cannot recall any more fitting man-

and merit...
It would be worthless to reiterate
that which we have so firmly bel-
leved all season , . , that State has
the best outfit in Its class... we
feel confident that State's record will
warrant @ good representation on,

We have been asked by the Record
of Buffalo State to choose those men
who we believe are deserving of
berths on an All-State Teachers’
Team .. . we would appreciate any
selections for such a team submitted
by you,
We cannot promise that our opin-
jon will be altered by your selections,
but a diversification of opinion is
not only good but It shows interest,
interest the we believe should exist
