STATE COLLEGE NEWS,FRIDAY, NOV. 14, 1947
Time Will Tell
State College has been the possessor of a unique
institution called Rivalry almost as long as it has
had freshman and Sophomore classes. Sometimes
the forms of the Rivalry institutions weren’t good,
but always, the spirit behind them was of the
highest.
This year a great question has arisen—not as
to the form but the spirit—namely, where is it?
Rivalry has always been something that Juniors
and Seniors look at interestedly and, at the same
time, reminisce about their “good old days’. Its
essence is remembered long after graduation.
Will this year be different? Definitely, if last
Friday in assembly, is to be a typical example.
Apparently the only one who knew any of the
words to the songs in the entire frosh class was the
songleader. As for the Sophomores, they didn’t
even look as if they cared.
Admittedly, it was near the lunch hour but come
now—was it lunch or a cigarette and the Commons
that produced the sudden anxiety? Some nembers
of our illustrious student body even went to the
pains of almost annihilating the marshals in their
haste to get out of the auditorium,
We often sit in history classes here and smirk-
ingly discuss those ignorant masses of humanity
who take no interest in their local, state, or na-
tional government. We pride ourselves because
we are cognizant of the fact that the backbone of
democracy is an intelligent and alert electorate.
We are not of those ignorant ones!
No? The majority of the members of this Student
Association sit in assembly merely because they
will have to take a cut if not there. The govern-
ment with which we have the closest contacts, our
cwn school government is the one in which we ap-
parently take the least interest. When we have
been graduated from this institution, we will not
change overnight. The interest taken in school
affairs is indicative of our interest in the civic
affairs of our future life and at this point, it doesn’t
look too good,
The most common complaint seems to be, “As
semblies are boring to one such as I,” Naturally,
when you have no interest in them and exert no
efforts in their behalf, At the risk of being repeti-
tious of other editorials, you get out of a thing pre-
cisely what you put into
Dean Nelson allows Student Association the
widest latitude in planning and conducting their
assemblies. If we did not have such a self-govern-
ing body, cries of disapproval and dissension would
be heard far and wide
Whether last week’s fiasco with the Rivalry sing
was a result of boredom in assembly or a lack of
spirit on the part of the frosh and Sophomores, no
one knows. The two lower classes never lacked
spirit in previous years—the two lower classes
must have spirit now—somewhere. At any rate,
they will have other chances to display it under
more favorable circumstances in the near future,
Here's hoping!

Sorority Rules ...
Editors note: Because of the con-
fusion resulting in the new rush
rules, we are reprinting the revised
rules for the silent period as they
stand now.
Article IV, The formal rush period
is one of silence between rushees
and sorority members except for
two parties to be given by sororities
for invited rushees. It begins at
midnight on the Friday preceeding
Thanksgiving vacation and extends
until the 5 o'clock pledge service
on the second Tuesday following
Thanksgiving Vacation.
Article IV, Section C. Invitations
to rush parties shall be in the office
of the Dean of Women by 9 o'clock
of the Thursday before Thanksgiv-
ing vacation and shall be mailed
the Friday preceeding the recess.
This year formal rush period will
begin at midnight November 22.
Freshmen will receive their invita-
tions on November 22 and should
return them in the next mail, The
rules have been changed so that
freshmen can make plans to attend
and so that sororities will know
how many people will attend in time
to make adequate preparations.
Freshmen may not travel to or
from vacations with sorority women
unless special permission is granted
by the President of Intersorority
Council.

Sn urday evening, Dr. J. L. More-
no presented a sociodrama to a
State College audience. Dr, Moreno
Js a specialist in the field—it is a
new field the sociodrama is a
comparatively new technique. In
fact, the majority of the college
representation was completely un-
initiated’ — even the word “socto-
drama” had become a mystery.
At any rate, the auditorium was
full. It was a curious audience,
curious to find the answer to the
publicity campaign that had reach-
ed a major height. ‘There was one
difficulty the group did not know,
or was not prepared, for the result-
ing program
The purpose of the program was
to introduce to an assembly of fu-
ture teachers, a process Unat they
would be able to use in their class-
room, if they deemed it advisable.
Tt was to inform them about some-
thing new in the feld
However, T admit, that it was un-
fortunate that the "skit" had a
hegative approach. ‘The situation
was a personal one, thus resulting
in the factor that the subject was
unable (o project hersell completely
and freely. Because of the icom-
plete response dwhich was the

audivnee was dissatisfied, for no

hor any correlations made. It cer-
tainly was a natural reaction.
But, let us not forget also, that
the program was not valucless—-the
pudding” were the
animated conversations and discus-
sions that were stimulated a
thinking people is a happy and
healthy state, Even the sincerest
objector with his intense objection
will ndmit: this.
The students deserve to get what
they expect. Even in retrospect, if

‘To the Editor
We consider the Association en-
litled to the reasons which have led
us to refusing nominations for
“Who's Who Among Students in
American Universities and Colleges.”
1. The voting in Assembly was
conducted in a most undemocratic
manner with wide opportunities for
multiple voting:
2. The absentee voting was con-
ducted without any of the safe-
guards necessary for a fair election
3. The counting of the votes was,
in our opinion, not curried out in
accordance with any recognizable
preferential system.

Blind Man's Bluff
This Reporter is given the widest latitude as author
of this column, although his viewpoints do not neces-
sarily reflect those of the Srate Cottece News.
Congratulations are in order this week to Inter-
Group Council, and Joy Simon in particular, for the
extremely successful conference held here last week.
Too bad, partly because of the inexperience of the
audience and partly because of the poor cooperation,
that sociodrama conducted by Dr. Morena was far
over the heads of most of the audience.
LET’S SING AGAIN
Pertaining to last week's assembly, equal blame goes
to the freshmen, for not knowing their songs and
poor organization; the student body, for inexcusable
rudeness and lack of cooperation; and Student Coun-
cil for trying to schedule both a speaker of unknown
lung capacity and the freshmen sing at the same
assembly. Crowded as the assembly program is this
fall, in fairness to all concerned, this sing should
be re-scheduled. The preservation of a grand eld
tradition is surley more important than some of these
speakers and events no one listens to anythow.
COME TO THE DANCE
Miscanceptions about the coming Christmas semi-
formal should be cleared up. First it is semi-formal.
Second, it is for all the college, its main purpose being
to hold a dance in which the whole college can par-
ticipate and attend. Any independent who would like
te help, and that help is definitely needed, should see
one of the committee, named in another section of
the NEWS.
STATE SPIRIT
Orchids to Gamma Kap for keeping its open house
last week a strictly State College affair. Several men
from other colleges were politely refused admittance,
and a good time was had by all.
CONGRATULATIONS
Best wishes to President “Twink”, now Alice Prindle
Walsh, on her recent marriage. The happy event oc-
curred on October 18 in Peekskill, with the lucky man
being Don Walsh, formerly of the class of '45 here
at State, and now attending Albany Law School.
NEW CO-OP MANAGER
There will be a change of managers of the State
College Co-op come January first. Mrs, Bull is re-
signing due to the fact that her husband has
ceived a permanent commission in the Air For
The new chief book-seller will be Ray Ver
uate, who is also house manager of Van Der Ze
ROUND AND ROUND
The Who's Who situation has degenerated to such
an extent that it’s almost impossible to look at it ra-
tionally. The importance of being in Who's Who has
been blown up all out of proportion to its true value
Actually, it's undoubtedly a money making scheme
for the publishers, and, outside of the temporary glow
of self-satisfaction and the possible value it may
have in an employment folder, it doesn't mean much
Since everyone agrees that the election was unfair,
th obvious thing to do is hold a re-election, under
the proper supervision, if it develops that there 4s
time to do so. Plans have been made to do this today,
if it develops that the publishers will delay the dead-
ine. Tf not, the whole matter should be dropped, and
the decision left up to the individuals involved as to
whether they send in their forms, with no. pressure
either way.
Manager of the cafeteria, feels that
» eriticism expressed in the NEWS poll last: week
is unjustified in that she feels that the students pol-
led were for the most part uninformed as to the actual
situation which exists. Although she admits that the
cafeteria lacks the so-called “atmosphere” which some
of the local establishments are reputed to haye, she
feels that the average of 750 persons who eat at the
cafeterin each day are provided with good food, pre-
pared under cleaner conditions, and at prices which
compare very favorably with these other establish-
ments, Seven cent coffee is necessary to off-set the
rise In overhead, including the salary increases, she
claims,
AL present, we have an open mind in the absence
of any specific figures on Lhe subject, but in order to
determine just what is what, Miss Shoreday has com-
pled with a request that a fall months itemized ae-
count of receipts und expenses be furnished for pub-
Heation, which will be presented in next week's NEWS
Then there will be a basis to work on.

Sidelines
By JACK BROPHY
Baseball stuck is head out from
under its winter wraps for a few
minutes the other day when we had
the pleasure of a chat with Dick
Fowler of the Philadelphia A's. We
carne upon the big right-hander in
the men's store where he is em-
ployed during the winter months,
and proceeded to bombard Dick with
questions.
Sat Out No-Hitter
Dick Fowler is one-third of the
A’s starting trio of Marchildon-
Christopher-Fowler, considered one
of the better hurling staffs in the
American League. The quiet, unas-
suming, 195 pound six-footer wound
up the '47 campaign with a 12-10
record which included two 2-1 losses
to Feller and the Indians. A veteran
of Canadian Army service, Dick as-
tounded the baseball world in 1945
by throwing a 1-0 no-hitter against
the Browns only three weeks after
returning to the diamond, When
asked the mevitable question, “when
did you first know that you were
pitching no-hit ball", Dick related
that he knew as early as the fifth
inning, and was sitting in the club
house after retiring the side in the
ninth when the A’s pushed over the
only score of the game in the last
half, Dick continued to hold his
spell over the Browns last season by
beating them in four of their five
meetings. While on the other hand,
the Washington Senators are Dick's
particular nemesis, beating the A’s
hurler in three out of four games
last season.
“They're All Tough”
Turning to more personal facts
we asked Dick just how he threw
his stuff and what his most depend-
able delivery was, “You soon learn
in the major leagues", he answered,
“that the baseline ches will call
your pitches for the batter unless
you use the same grip for every
pitch. I grip mine across the seams
When I'm in a tight spot I always
rely on my change of pace." And
who was the toughest batter to pitch
to? “For me, two hundred of them!
‘They're all tough.”
Notice
On Monday, November 17th, in
Room II of Draper Hall, the
Tumbling Club will hold a meeting
for the purpose of electing officers.

On Armistice Day a crowd of
about 1500 people, representing all

watch the amazing British tear
defeat a womens’ team from Mo-
hawk: 16-0.
The British team plays a “heads
down” game. It is fast and aggres-
sive play which never gives opposi-
tion a chance to get on the offen-
sive. Playing with the forward sec-
tion of their sticks, the English
team, composed of women in their
middle ages, pushed forward with
long, hard drives; playing to pre-
arranged positions they had their
plays down to a “T", and never made
a lost motion,

by all odds the outstanding star.
She scored, perhaps, 10 of the goals
and led her line in perfect forma-

Although Mohawk has one of the
foremost teams in this section of
the country, they were able to do
no more than the other teams which
the English girls have met. They
have met approximately twelve
teams since arriving in this country
and no team has been able to score
against them.
Many examples of superior play
were evidenced by the Mohawk play
ers. In fact as an American team
they would probably be one of the
toughest; however, against the con-
sistent skill of the entire British
which played as one man,

Freedom Train
Worth Wait,”
Say Tourists of History Display
By COLETTA FITZMORRiS
After what seemed hours of
waiting in the cold, the Freedom
‘Train opened its doors to the pub-
lc and a few hundred of the thous-
ands that visited it last Tuesday,
November 11, started their tour
through the three cars.
In keeping with the theme, the
paintings on the wall depicted such
Scenes a8 the Battle of Bunker Hill,
and Independence Hall in Philadel-
phia, These murals were painted
between the glass-in-cases which
contained the valuable documents
of our history. This collection be-
gan with Columbus’ letter to Queen
Isabella requesting permission to
set sail for the New World, and the
last documents were those that
dealt with affairs that have been
discussed at the United Nations
Conferences.
At one point in the tour, a young
girl pointed to the copy of the
amendment which granted women
sufferage and asked her father what
it was, To this, the bright man
replied, “That's the only mistake in
the Constitution.”
Besides the papers that were on
display, there was also a section
dedicated to the history of our
Juniors To Order Rings Wed.
Juniors of State College will be
able to place their orders for class
rings Thursday, and Wednesday,
December 3, according to Robert
Wilcox, '49. President of the Jun-
jor Class, between the hours of
10:10 A. M, and 2:00 P, M. A $3.00
deposit will be required with each
order.
Accelerated Sophomores who plan
to graduate in 1949 may sign up for
the rings at that time.

were the flags that were taken
from the last war—one from the Iwo
Jima raising, and the other from
the U.S.S. Missouri, just after the
Japanese officially surrendered
there in 1945.
When interviewed by your re-
porter, those who were lucky enough
to make the tour shared the opin-
jon that it was well worth the wait-
ing, and that they wished every
citizen had had the opportunity to
review their country's history in
such an interesting display.

“State College News The Best”
To State College Says Gronewold At Conference
“The State College NEWS is de-
finitely the best of the teacher col-
lege papers,” sald Dr. Benjamin F.
Gronewold, English professor at
Buffalo State, at the first confer-
ence of the New York State Teach-
er College Press Association which
was held in Buffalo last weekend.
More than 50 students and faculty
members repre:
per and yearbook s
teacher colleges attended th!
ference at which Jean Pulver,
Associate Editor of the NEWS, was
present.
The evaluation of the college
papers at a clinic held in the pres-
ence of guest advisors from Buffalo
colleges, and reporters from Buf-
falo city papers proved the worth
of the Albany paper. The most
outstanding qualities of the NEWS,
cording to the analysis, were the
makeup and features.
Of the colleges represented, the
only schools with weekly papers °
were Albar Fredonia, and New
Paltz. Problems of journalism
» faculty advisors, and the
vader interest were
The one fault
s the failure of the staffs
to follow newspaper standards and
the tendency to editorialize.
The press association was estab-
lished last spring as a result of the
Plattsburgh Inter-Collegiate Con-
ference in order to provide some in-
strument for the general improve-
ment of college publications
through discussion and comparison.
At this first meeting of the newly-

organized association, plans were
made to hold the second confer-
ence at New Paltz early next fall
where a charter for the organiza-
tion will be presented. The steer-
ing committee of delegates set up
a membership fee of $5 for each
newspaper and yearbook, to be used
as a reserve fund for the conference
playing host. A system of rotation
of the conference from year to
year will be followed bearing in
mind the facilities for field trips
to newspaper and yearbook plants
and more complete cooperation in
publications will be sought between
all 11 colleges.
Though, according to Dean Ralph
Horn of Buffalo State, that in read~
ing a college paper, “we all read it
and then gripe—then read it again,”
he feels that the college paper is
the “most exciting, discouraging,
stimulating, irritating, but most
satisfying of all college activities
a dynamic instrument in col-
lege life.”
Six Sophomores
