in victory for the frosh and the
gaining of one rivalry point.

few points, he seemed to become
more confident and returned balls
more easily, He won the second game
with 21 points to Lashinsky’s 16.
Deciding Game
With tense excitement, the frosh
and Sophs watched the third game
which would decide the winner of
the rivalry point. The game was a
fast one and both players did
well. Many of the spectators were
especially surprised by Horseman's

play before. He took the last game
easily, beating Lashinsky by a score
of 21-14. Thus the frosh won one
rivalry point leaving the Sophs only
two points ahead in the rivalry
tilt.
Last Wednesday, the Sophomores
won the rivalry archery contest
which was held on the Dorm field.
Bodach, Lawson and Palmatier par-
ticipated for the Sophs against
Maize, Tomasik and Warth on the
frosh squad. Palmatier was high
scorer for the Sophs. A well placed
bulls eye brought her score to 150.
Tomasik tallied highest for her side
with 110 points. It was the first
time that archery was ever counted
as a rivalry sport.
Usual Lack
Since the game was played on the
Dorm field, it was expected that
more spectators would have come.
The Sophs had a much larger turn-
ount than the frosh did. However
no points were given for cheering.
The final score was 190-170 in favor
of the Sophs,

BUSINESS vs, WAR AIMS
Afying to the insulation of
world businessmen against the re-
alities of global war, the Interna-
tional Business Conference at Rye,
N. Y., has boggled along into a m
of deadlock. This is not news for
a conference conducted by repre-
sentatives of private industry and
cartels in 51 nations, and predict-
ed on the Gimme standard: Spokes-
man for Britain des ‘Gimm

chairman responds, “Gimme ta
iffs." Cartel makers whisper loud-
if "Gimme — Americ i

continues to “observe.
Contrast this performance with
the Kilgore report this week to the
Senate committee on military at-
fairs. Charging bluntly that’ Ger-
man imperialists are already “de-
ploying their economic Ves
throughout the world in prepara-
tlon for a third attempt at world
domination,” the report urged
smashing the cartels (a type of
international monopoly), — secret
treaties and other trade barriers.
It urges dismantling of Germany's
war industry and punishment of
its economic leaders; and the es-
tablishing of free trade and exten-
sive reciprocal treaties for all
nations,

The U. S., who, of course, doesn’t

could draw frowns from Britain,

LIBERATION IN EUROPE
Three million Jews have been
murdered in Tremblinka death
camp, Poland. Thousands were
killed and mutilated by wild dogs,
cremation, rap, hanging and shoot-
ing in the death camp near Vught,
Holland. We would like to identify
Allied victory with liberation for
all peoples. This, of course, would
be blinding idealism. Liberation so
far means nothing to anti-Franco

leaders have foretold: that Allied
conquest alone will not eradicate
the Ni sanctified hatred of Jews.
Zionists understood that before the
Jews could regain citizenship, there
must be economic reconstruc!
re-education, probably by govern=
mental force; and time. With that
incentive, they aided Palestine to
absorb several hundred thous
refugees, while it also developed
self into the single Middle
arsenal of the Allies.
When the 9th Congress con-
venes, American Zionists and sup-
porters will remind Democrats and
Republicans of their convention
platform planks to aid the recon-
stitution of Palestine as a free and
democratic Jewish Commonwealth.

the making
YOUNG SPROUTS
A suite of offices in Washington
is headquarters for AMVETS,

Veterans of World War II. The
boys are out to consolidate the

say they never did like the Legion's
swing toward reactionary politics,
Others feel the current vets face
problems distinct from the older
organization,
New Start, Maybe ...
Today War Activities Council is going overboard
in an effort to get the entire student body to
participate in one of its projects. Their method is
to organize stamp-buying in the college for one day
and through coercion, persuasion or any other ef-
fective method get every student to buy a stamp.
In their project they have the cooperation of
Student Council and Myskania. Though a little
late in starting, such a drive should be indicative of
future War Activities Council plans.
After a false start earlier in the year, War Coun-
cil promises this year to be more prominent in
student affairs than it has been since the year it
was inaugurated. This is as it should be, with the
country geare/l to action for the war, the college
should follow suit. To date it hasn’t and it is
questionable whether or not it will yet. Such
organized drives as the Stamp Day today show that
State College has to be talked to action. Students
were supposed to have signed up for activities
several weeks ago, An extremely small number did
so. This was partly due, undoubtedly to poor
publicity on the part of War Council, but a great
deal of the blame belongs where it has in past
years, with the student body. All this has been
pointed out before, but fails to make an impression.
War Council has rejuvinated itself, it would be
well if the student body did also,
Men Again
State College is about to witne
ganized men’s group on campus nce the dis-
solving of the fraternities two years ago. Thi:
group will not exactly take the place of the frater
ties nor will it make the college like “the old d
when Potter club, SLS, KDR and KB were names
which were synonymous with social life here at
college. We have become a woman’s college for the
duration, the few men we have must organize or
be lost in the enthusiasm of a women's administra-
tion of the school’s extra-c’ activiti As the
organizer of the new club himself said, “The pur-
pose of this organization is to keep the male mem-
bers of the student body from feeling as if they
were intruders in a harem.”

The long-range purpose of the club at present
seems to be that of a wedge by which the men in
the college may get their oar in on the various
activities around school, A dance is planned for
the near future and indefinite plans center around
some activity which will make a contribution to
the war effort here at college. Thus the men of
the college have organized so that they may be
allowed to participate in student affairs. Any or-
ganization this year, with the eption of MAA, is
headed by a woman and the predominating member-
ship is made up of women. ‘The only way for the
men to make their contribution seems to be through

a woman in college did well to hold her own in
competition with the men.

First Tourney
Art Kaufman, '47, director of
M.A.A,, has announced that the
annual men’s ping-pong tourna-
ment will start on November 29. To
facilitate registration, a sheet has
been posted on the M.A.A. bulle-
tin board for those who wish to
sign up. The match will be run
off as those in the past. A list of
pairings will be posted and then it
will be up to the players to ar-
range their own matches.
The tournament itself will con-
sist of singles and doubles com-
petition, The singles will be lim~-
ited to men, while both sexes will
be allowed to take part in the
doubles. This latter provision is
made because the number of ping-
pong playing males might not be
enough for a good doubles play-off.
Last year it was Bob Ferber that
dominated the tourney. He won the
singles championship from Phil La-
shinsky, three games to two. In the
doubles he and Al Beninati won.
Since Ferber has left college Lashin-
sky and Bob Horseman, '48, rivalry
ping-pong winner, are favored in the
current tournament.

Ping Pong has always been an
important phase of the winter sea-
son. Tournaments are scheduled to
start right after vacation, and con-
tests will be held in both the
singles and doubles. Betty Rose

Fencing, which drew quite a num-

Final Committee Report

Student Council has announced
that the Student Union Investigating
Committee has made its third report
on a future Student Union for State
College. In the report the Commit-
tee outlined new financial data and
announced a plan for the adminis-
tartive body of the Union.
According to the report: “If the
Student Union is combined with a
residence hall as suggested in our
second report, it should be possible
to build teh entire building at a cos
of $300,000. With the Union occupy-
ing half of the space, we (the stud-
ent body) would contribute $150,000,
‘That amount of money could be col-
lected in a ten year period outlined

Playhouse to Launch Activities
In “Damask Cheek” Presentation
“She never told her love, but let
concealment, like a worm in the
bud, feed on her damask cheek.”
—Twelfth Night; Shakespeare
Rhoda was a plain woman—so
plain that she had passed her 30th
birthday and was still unwed. Oh,
not that @ hadn't had offers!
But it was obvious that her few
suitors had been thinking more
about her wealth than anything
else.
Here she was in America, sent
by an anxious mother who hoped
there was a husband to be had in
this land of plenty. The New York
of 1909 was so much more exciting
than London, Young women smok-
ed—when their elders —_ weren't
around—and drank highdalls, and
Rhoda rather enjoyed her new life.
But she knew she wouldn't get a
husband. Jimmy was the only one
she cared for, and her handsome
cousin was already engaged to the
actress Calla.
This is the problem that mem-
bers of the College Playhouse will
solve when they present “The
Damask Cheek,” by John Van
Druten and Lloyd Morris, Saturday
evening, December 9, in Page Hall.
Launched on Broadway in 1942, the
play met with. enthusiastic reviews
and hailed as “The best polite
comedy of the season.” In Mrs,
