Common-Staier
Of Checks and
The Common-Stater is given the widest latitude as
author of this column, although his viewpoints do mot
necessarily reflect those of the State College News.
Since we have been promoted to this obscure corner
of the page, we did our best to garner some red hot
info to pass on to you readers (both of ‘em). The best
we could do was to get @ line on something of interest
to @ lot of people: marks. Frosh marks come out first
and should hit the mails by 18 Feb. Each class will
follow in turn, with about & day separating.
It’s unfortunate, but all jokes about Ga.’s two gov-
ernors seem exhausted. If only Talmadge’s name were
Richard, we could say something about opening the
door, but relax, we'll spare you.
Admittedly the column isn’t any better than the
rest of the paper this week, but we do have a good
word once in a while and here it is: A new policy in
the Co-op allows a GI to purchase any necessary
supplies “within reason.” This eliminates a lot of
criticism that was directed against the Co-op. All
GI's are urged, however, not to take advantage of this
by stocking up on papers and supplies both for your-
selves and the girl friends. Let's not mess up a good
thing. ...
About twenty men have moved to the St. Mary’s
housing project recently, thus hitting our predic-
tion of 18 Oct. almost on the nose. This is directed at
that lowly individual or group of same who are nested
safely somewhere in the intricate machinery of ad-
ministration of that place. Why does a double room
of approximately 150 sq. ft. rent for $35 per month
to college students (future teachers of your children)
when a three-room apartment of double that area
equipped with refrigerator, stove, etc. rent for $36
per month????
The college administration has nothing to do with
this situation. They and the Alumni Association did
@ good job of bringing that figure down from the
skies to where it is now. The blame falls on some
one or some group of people in our local government
who prefer to remain anonymous, We don’t blame you
for wanting to, when such a situation exists. Shame.
Shame. Shame.
But the men who must live there need some furni-
ture. This is to all sororities and group houses on
campus who have lamps, tables, chairs, pictures, etc.
with which to furnish a day room. If you have any-
thing that you can spare, please drop a note about
it to Stan Abrams. He'll arrange to pick it up, and
the recipients will be most grateful. Action.

Suggestion to NEWS Sports Staff: How about cut-
ting the size of some of those stories on varsity bas-
ketball that are as old as the hills at Thatcher and
covering some of the Intra- Mural games? Some of
the games played are pretty good, there are more
men participating, and the competition is keen.

Question of the week: Has anyone found out yet
why physical training classes are carried on for the

Pearl Primus and her group rendered a neat per-
formance Wed nite as evidenced by the huge turnout
and repeated curtain calls. The only criticism of the
night sponsored by D&A and IGC was that it
was too huge of a sell-out. It’s nice to have Albany
people present at such affairs, but not to such an ex-
tent that a hundred students have to view the per-
formance standing.

By VIRGINIA DAY
It happens every year at least
once, and this year it’s going to
happen twice. Yep, we of the
Sports Staff are hanging out the
“Under New Management” sign
and looking forward to a semester
of sports galore, and just as much
fun, In case our predecessor should
happen to cast a glance to the fast
blurring past, we'd all like to take
this opportunity to wish her the
best of luck in her teaching career.
It’s rather sad to think of all the
gripes we are left to contend with,
and we do mean the weather. Try-
ing to keep the use of the horrible
word down to a minimum should
prove a job in itself. Getting back
to Pat Sheehan, all we can say Pat,
is that our loss is someone else’s
gain....
Winter Carnival
In case you haven't seen the
various write ups in the NEWS
about the coming Winter Carnival
we'd like to add to the already
thousands of words. Whether
(please note spelling of preceding
word) it rains or whether it snows
whether it's hot or cold, it's going
to be a gala week-end. Those in
the know say there's one thing in
surplus, and that is lots of fun for
everyone.
Basketball
Basketball has taken it's usual
center in the affairs of college
spirit... the rah! rah! type, that
is... and the first thing we no-
tice is that the cheerleaders have
blossomed out in some brand new
uniforms .. .. It's right sharp they
look, too, However, the student body
still isn’t backing them to the ex-
tent that they should,

WAA’s First Winter’ Carnival \
Scheduled To Open To-night ‘..
Sleigh Ri On Show
Commence Week-end
Tonight at 7:30 the WAA Winter
Carnival will commence with a
sleighride following which there will
be an Informal Dance. The Winter
Carnival is a “weekend wonderland”
of skating, skiing, tobogganing, cli-
maxed by a formal dance Saturday
night. The crowning of “King Win-
ter” will highlight the formal dance.
The sleigh-ride tonight will start
at 7:30 p. m, from Sander’s Gas
Station in Slingerlands. All those
who are not familiar with this terri-
tory can meet at Sayles Hall at 7:00
Pp. m. and proceed from there, There
will be one sleigh, if weather per-
mits, and several wagons waiting to
carry both couples and coeds over
the frozen countryside. The inform-
al dance will be held in the Com-
mons from 9 to 12. Refresh-
ments will be served during the
evening. The cost per person for
pe the sleigh ride and dance is
ic.
Saturday afternoon beginning at
1:30 p.m., there will be skating, ski-
ing, and tobaggoning in Washington
Park. In order to provide a little
comfort for the “frozen-outdoor-
fiends” a roaring bonfire will be
built by WAA Inc. At 4:00 WAA
will award on Page Hall field a se-
cret prize to the group which has
carved the best figurine. The fig-
urines will be built Saturday morn-
ing by group houses, frats, and sor-
orities using any theme or charac-
ter for a model.
The “Snow Ball” will begin at
9:00 p.m. Saturday evening in Page
Hall and last 'till 1:00 am. “King
Winter” will be crowned by Edna
Sweeney, President of WAA, WAA
council and the chaperones. They
will select the king on the basis of
masculine pulchritude (ruff). Two
pages will usher the new “King
Winter” and his queen to the
throne. Tickets for the dance will
be $1.80 per couple.
Tickets for all events will be on
sale in the lower hall of Draper
outside the Commons.
The Chesterfield Co. has donated
a prize for both the winners of the
snow figure building contest and
“King Winter.”

Court League;
Play-Offs Near
With the basketball play-offs ap-
proaching, Psi Gam Is in the lead
with three wins and no losses and
Gamma Kap is right behind win-
ning both of its games.
The Group House league has some
close contests in the offing as Far-
rell has won its four games and
Sayles and Pierce have each won
three,
In the latest contests played, New-
man defeated Stokes, Sayles won
over the Commutors, Gamma Kap
beat Chi Sig, Pierce conquered Tom-
my Moore, Farrell topped Stokes
and Phi Delt subdued Kappa Delta.
The Newman-Stokes game was
Newman's right from the begin-
ning as they allowed Stokes only
four points in the first half while
they tallied 13. The last half was a
repeat performance as both teams
doubled their scores to give Newman
the game 26-13. Golden, Newman's
forward, was high scorer for her
team while Dubert tallied Stokes’
eight points.
Sayles battered the Commutors to
the tune of 30-2. Engdahl, of Sayles,
scored freely throughout the con-
test to lead her team with 15
points,
Gamma Kap tripped Chi Sig 30-
12 in a slow moving contest. Quinn,
Gamma Kaps stellar forward, was
top man scoring twelve points.
Freel scored eight points for the
Madison Ave. group.
The Pierce Hall aggregation top-
ped Tommy Moore 24-5 to stay up
with the leaders. In the first half,
Pierce had a runaway game, but
in the latter part of the game the
Tommy More guards tightened their
defense and held Pierce at a stand-
still. Pierce’s Davidson was high
scorer with 15 points.
Boynton scored 13 points to lead
Farrell to victory over Stokes 28-11.
Farrell led right at the beginning
and was never threatened through-
out the game. Dubert again was
high scorer for the Stokes team.
In the last game of the evening
Phi Delta triumphed over Kappa
Delta 18-9. Phi Delt could not get
started and the KD guards held
them down to two points the first
quarter, but as the game progressed,
Phi Delt scored freely with Tilden
taking top honors. Joslin was high
scorer for the Phi Delt team with
nine points.

Should Contact Bentley
Before Sending Flowers
According to latest reports, Dr.
John M. Sayles, for eight years
President of State College, is re-
covering gradually in Albany Hos
pital where he was taken after be-
ing stricken early Friday morning.
Groups desiring to send flowers to
Dr, Sayles are requested to contact
Ruth Bentley, '47, in order to stag-
ger the arrival of the flowers.
Rumor has it that Dr. Sayles was
planning to take his pension in
June of this semester. No official
infurmation has been received con-
cerning whether or not he plans to
complete unis semester,
sence, Dr, Milton G. Nelson, Dean
of the College, has unofficialy as-
sumed the presidential duties.
Dr. Sayles has been holding the
position of President of the Col-
lege since the death of Dr. Abram
R. Brubacher, August 23, 1939.
In September, 1939, Dr. Sayles, who
formerly had been director of
teacher training and principal of
Milne High School, was chosen by
the Board of Regents to serve as
presiaent
It was Dr. Sayles who, as chair-
man of the Department of Educa-
tion, formulated the two-year pro-
gram of educational theory and the
year of practice teaching which
Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors
in State College are now required
to undertake.
He has done much to im-
prove the college buildings, includ-
ing the purchase of Van Derzee
House, and the Initiation of other
plans which led to the improve-
n and enlargement of college
equipment and buildings.
