Wagner Scores
Tourney Upset;

Wins 3 Out of 4

The MAA ping-pong tournament
is well on its way to a speedy and
exciting completion. One of two
semi-finals and another match in
the halfway mark have been com-
pleted at this writing.

‘The unexpected upset of the tour-
nament took place on Wednesday
when Wagner defeated Kaufman in
a semi-final match. Wagner won
the first game 21-17, Kaufman took
the second 21-10, with Wagner re-
turning to win the third and fourth,
21-17, being the final score of both
games. Kaufman, favored to win
in earlier predictions, didn’t play as
well as was expected, evident by the
fact that his usual ability to place
the ball in any ‘position he might
wish was not up to par. Wagner
was in top form and played a pro-
ficient offensive game.

Crandell Scores

In the quarter-finals, Crandell de-
feated Weinberg in two straight
games, winning 21-17 and 21-18.
Crandell will play Zippin, another
favorite, in the second round, The
nwinner of this match will play
Weiner in the other semi-final.

Zippen, runner-up in last year's
tournament, has a good chance of
coming through this season if he
continues his steady, often brilliant
performances.

Some Predictions

Interested spectators have been
heard to say that Zippen can beat
Wagner with ease, Weiner can prob-
ably top Zippen, therefore Weiner is
predicted as this year's ping-pong
camp.

Volley Ball Starts

Winner of ‘47-'46 Tilt
Will Play Soph Team

The Volley ball tournament
started off with a bang last Tues-
day as the Freshmen and Sopho-
mores tore into each other ending
with the Sophs beating the frosh
21-14.

Only enough frosh turned out for
one team while the Sophs had a
few extra men so that they could
rest their players at intervals dur-
ing the game.

type of return is effective since
It makes it possible to place the
ball accurately.

Fortunately there were no rivalry
points at stake but rivalry spirit
ran high all during the game.

The Junior-Senior volleyball tilt
originally scheduled for Wednes-
day, Nov. 7, has been postponed until
Tuesday ov. 13, The winners of
this match will play the Sophomore
team on the fifteenth of November.
If there are any further postpone-

be posted on the WAA bulletin
board.

Revealed Strange Adventure

Eee-aw—Rain, rain go away
was the cry that echoed through
the halls or should it be hall of
Camp Johnston last week-end.
(Yes, the life of the duck is a
pleasant one.) Nothing much
happened outside of the fact
that three of the girls got shot
with hollow points (bullets to
the layman) as they strolled
leisurely across a meadow in the
rain. In the morning the little
band marched down to the creek,
half of them fell in—literally,
while the other half got out
grappling hooks and tried to haul
them out. Even with the rain,
there was a lot to do—after
breakfast the dishes were wash-
ed, after lunch the dishes were
washed, then of course after
supper the dishes were washed!
One thing that can be said—the
food was good—there will be a
slight pause in memory of two
individuals who were buried
after eating spaghetti and meat
sauce. When the time to go
came, Camp Johnston was happy
to retire to the rousing chorus
of, “We hate to leave—” and to
recover until the next trek.

W AA Plans
Sporting Spree
Hayride, Tea

WAA is sponsoring a hayride to-
night at 7:30 for the student body
which will culminate with a sports
spree to be held in the gym when
the hayride is over.

At 7:30 several wagons will be
waiting at the end of the Western
Avenue bus line to pick up all those
who intend to go.

Skit Featured

The entertainment in the gym is
under the direction of Dorothy Dif-
fin, '48, and Gette Dunn, '46. One
part of the entertainment will be a
skit by those daffy dillies—Vitullo,
Binn, etc.—who made their debut at
the WAA frolic for the frosh. Jean
Hegginger, '48, and Shiela Maginess,
"48, are the heads of the refresh-
ment committee and promise donuts
and hot chocolate to all the frozen
hayriders that return to the gym.

Miss Foster and Miss Johnston
will chaperone.

There is a sign-up sheet on the
WAA bulletin board in lower Draper
for all those who wish to go.
WAA Tea

‘Thursday, November 15, WAA will
have its annual tea in the lounge
from 3:30-5:00. Miss Johnston, Miss
Foster, Georgette Dunn and Mary
Seymour will pour at this event.

Edna Sweeney, ‘47, and Wilma
Diehl, '48, are scheduled to relate
their experiences at hockey camp
this summer and a second feature of
the evening will be a fencing ex-
hibition staged by Chuck Axelrod,
‘47, Various sports will be explained
and discussions will be held.

‘The tea fs for all those interested
in WAA, Freshmen especially are
invited.

Letter From The Editors

We realize that, as Myskania members, we will
be sticking our necks out to Student Association by
answering the Letter to the Editor on this page.
We also realize that it will not be read as an edi-
torial but as a Myskania proclamation. The latter
is false because the News has the habit of scoop-
ing everyone—including Myskania. It has always
been the policy of the Starz Co11ucr News to
take a positive or negative stand on every issue be-
fore the Student Body and stick to it, regardless
of criticism from students, faculty, or the admin-
istration, So, as Editors, we shall endeavor to in-
terpret the letter.

Since our correspondents propose “pure dem-
ocracy” in the Student Association affairs, let us
compare our own democracy with the Govern-
ment of the United States, the purest working
State democracy in existance.

"The Legislative branch is composed of the House
of Representatives and the Senate, nominated by
party electors and elected by the entire popula-
tion—of voting age. Our Legislative branch is
composed of the entire Student Association, Stu-
dent Association being composed of all those who
have paid the Student Tax.

‘The national Executive branch is composed of
the President, elected by the people, and the Cab-
inet, appointed by the President. Our executive
power is vested in Student Council, composed of
23 members, nominated and elected by the entire
Student Body.

Now, the Judicial branch which seems to be
the debatable one; we feel that our judicial branch
is chosen more democratically at present than the
United States Government Judicial body. The
Judicial power of the United States is vested in
the Supreme Court, chosen by the President of the
United States with the approval, more or less auto-
matic, of the Senate, and minutely representative
of the entire population. Our Judicial power is
vested in Myskania, eight to thirteen members se-
lected by the preceding Myskania. Would it be
nearer a pure democracy to have the President of
Student Association select the new Myskania with
the approval of Student Council, 11 of whose 23
members are freshmen and Sophomores and there-
fore not always in a position to properly observe
the leaders of the Junior Class?

Tt would be no more practical and less practicable
to have the members of the judicial body elected.
The result could easily be a body of popular stu-
dents, some of whom wouldn’t have the least con-
cern as to the welfare of the college and who would
lack the essential traits of a real leader—which are
not always a pretty face, a smooth tongue, or a
good campaign manager.

Student Council is a good illustration. There
are approximately five people who r have
something to say, The others sit by passively, Some
who have the potentialities of leadership that the
organization needs either sulkily sit and say noth-
ing or childishly quit instead of trying to find out
where the difficulty lies.

We are not condemning the existence of Student
Council. We only trying to point out a possible
fallacy of popular elections, Student Council is an
excellent inedia between the Legislative and
Judicial branches because it represents not only
Student Association but each individual class, It
should continue to be chosen in the same way, but
Student Association should weigh the qualities of
all the candidates. And, contrary to popular opin-
jon, Student Council exercises about twice as much
power as any of the other smaller representative
groups.

There is another possibility. to have all the
heads of all the major organizations automatically
on the judicial board. This would) increase the
body to such a size that it would be inefficient. It
would Jose its value as a judicial and honorary
group. It would also eliminate candidates who
have definitely proven themselves worthy: but have
never devoted htemselves to any one organization

We are not saying that Myskania, as it stands
is perfect-—or even the most democratic organiza
tion, but we do recognize the need for such a group
and would be among the first to accept a better
plan, However, such statements as the one in
the letter saying that Myskania, because of its own
constitution, cannot conform to the needs of Stu-
dent Association, when that is the very reason ior
its existance, are ridiculous, As journalists, in all
due modesty, we suggest that such ideas be more
fully investigated before being published.

We have only one question for our correspon-
dents: Just exactly how do you define democracy?

Established May 1916

To the Editor:

Potentially, we have the makings
of what is considered a pure dem-
ocracy. The legislative branch of
our student government is com-
posed of every member of student
association, The executive branch,
Student Council, is composed of
twenty-three people nominated and
elected by the entire student body.
The judicial branch, Myskania, is
composed of from eight-to-thirteen
members, nominated and elected by
the eight-to-thirteen outgoing mem-
bers.

Democracy Inpuus change. It is
fortunate that our predecessors
choose to vest the power of law-
making in the entire student body;
fortunate because in the process of
creating a more perfect student
government, there never arose the
need for a legislative body of either
different proportions or of a more
select nature. At the same time,
they choose to vest the executive
power in a student council com-
posed of seven members. Until a
few years ago, the size and scope of
representation of the council were
sufficient, At that time, Student
Association began to feel that this
body was too limited to adequately
represent an ever increasing and
changing student body. The council
was increased in size and broadened
in function by a ConsriruTioNAL
AmenpMeNT (a most natural thing
to do).

The metamorphosis of the execu-
tive branch was necessary and was
accomplished without the element
of tradition to retard it, Grantine

the Editor:

So the Faculty won't have a Big
8! I could complain that their re-
fusal to put themselves out is un-
patriotic, or shows lack of co-opera-
tion to support student activities,
but that isn’t the issue. The point
is that the Faculty Big 8 and the
Student-Faculty Teas are the only
occasions on which we have the
opportunity to enjoy the Faculty—
especially the Big 8, because there
the faculty really let their hair
down and become human in the
eyes of the students,

It is obvious that the Student-
Faculty Teas aren't the successful
affairs that they are meant to be.
There is too little mingling on both
sides except for Myskania and a few
conscientious Student
members. And I, as a student, hon-
estly believe that the Faculty will
not meet the Students half-way.
They walk into the Lounge, see a
colleague whom they have not seen
since the last Faculty meeting, and
immediately engage themselves in
conversation. If a student is brave
enough to approach the group, a

witnessed whut was probably one
of the most disconcerting wings of
this semester—the trials of fresh-

It seemed to me that most of the
essence of the “tradition rivalry”
was lost in those trials,

This was not because trials were
held: the right to a fair trial is
certainly a cornerstone of any dem-

Perhaps a compromise is the an-

Several suggestions have been pro-
posed. Here is one which, though
not devoid of loop-holes, offers a
starting place for further discussion.
It is suggested that every Senior
holding major office be admitted
automat ly to Myskania. This
would necessitate a revision of the
major-minor office plan because
several of the major offices do not

BREISH CHAIRMAN First Explosion OfAtomicBomb

OF NEW GROUP

Expanding its scope further into
the field of international relations,
the Forum of olities has now in-
corporated the International Rela-
tions Clubs as a subsidiary organ-
ization, and a resolution opposing
military training has been submit-
ted and will be voted upon at the
next meeting, Miss Selma Kreis-
berg, '46, Speaker, has announced
the appointment of Miss Madelyn
Breish, '48, as chairman of the
group.

‘The Carnegie Endowment for In-
ternational Peace, which sponsors
IRC throughout the country, has
sent the group several books and
research pamphlets of valuable na-
ture to social studies students.
Among the books are: European
Manifesto, by Pierre De Lanux;
The Future of Japan, by William C.
Johnstone. Among the pamphlets
are: Charter of the United Nations,
Report to the President on the Re-
suults of the San Francisco Con-
ference, The Potsdam Declaration,
and the Breton Woods Argument.

All freshmen interested in trying
out have been requested to see Do-

go on record as being opposed to
Compulsory Conscription for mili-
tary training in peacetime; and
that this be reported to Congres-

° STATE COLLEGE NEWS, FRIDAY, NOV!

BER 16, 1945

— By MARY LIZ SULLIVAN ——

Yes—and a happy Thanksgiving
to you too! We just know how sad
everyone is at the thought of hav-
ing to go home for a few days’ vaca-
tion but try and bear up under this
trial with the thought that we'll be
back in a matter of a week—or
shouldn't we have mentioned that?

To bring up a matter that has
already been mentioned on this
page, we would like to say some-
thing about the game between State
and Skidmore, The game 1s tomor-
row afternoon,
fore, have many State rooters
there. Excluding those who work
on Saturday, there is still left a
substantial number so that if 20%
came to the game tomorrow, we
could have a nice rooting section.
How about it kids are we going to
get out there and give our team
some support? The bets are ten to
one that there will be quite a few
from Skidmore there that won't be
playing but cheering.

To keep in line with the cheering
idea, something was definitely lack-
ing with the frosh cheering at the
rivalry hockey game last week. The
cheerleaders did their best but
either the frosh weren’t yelling or
else they all weren't cheering to-
gether. Could even be they didn’t
know the cheers, The Sophs, on
the other hand, had well organized
cheers and most of the Sophs at
the game seemed to know them. Of
course the frosh have the excuse
that they weren't really organized,
but that’s all over now and we
should really see some good cheer-
ing at the rivalry games.

‘Hockey Cheers
Incidentally, the referee at the

form and that the best teams do not
always win hockey games.

We wish people would stop men-
tioning the fact that Army beat
Notre Dame last week. O.K,, O.K.,
we listened to that game too—it
must have been Notre Dame’s off
day or something. Boy—and gee,
were we heartbroken—still sniffling.
So, this leaves the Army-Navy
game as the big tiff now. Various
sources say that Army will win and
we are inclined to agree with this
opinion, They should win by two
or more touchdowns. The game
isn’t until December first, so each
of the teams will have a chance to
rest up — ah, so like the games
around here,

‘We want to give a few lines to
the letters tc the Ed. department,
We receive them and providing
that there are no slams against the
constitution or government of the
‘United States, no swearing and the
name or names of the writers are
included, then we will print them,
Now that's not hard is it? And as
for not liking to receive them—that
4s a malicious rumor started by our
dear fourth page enemies. So—
any time you have a gripe (and who
hasn't) that concerns in any way
Sports here at college, you can air
dt by writing it out, signing your
name and sending it in. The really
important item is signing your
name, in case you do write in be-
cause it kills us to have to disregard
a perfectly lovely wild letter simply
because it’s not signed.

‘We would also like to mention the
co-operation we have received from
WAA this year with regard to giv-
ing us information about the events
we report on. In this way, we are
able to have one of our very able
reporters (plug) on hand to watch
the games and write up the stories,
Then everybody is happy — WAA
because we're reporting on their
events and us because we have
some news to print!

But what about MAA's elections?
The current excuse 1s that not
enough fellows show up for meet-
ings to have an election, So does
that mean that MAA will go along
for the rest of the year because not
enough fellows ure Interested in
getting together to elect another
director? MAA Is sponsoring enough
activities to warrant. direction by
an MAA director, So how about it

get that election over with.

State Meets Skidmore

In Play-off

All StarTeamPicked;
SecondSquadT oPlay

Skidmore is coming to State to-
morrow for a hockey field day to be
held on the Dorm Field at 2:30 P.M.

This event has been a long time
coming, but the eventful day is now
near at hand, This is the first time
that a play day has been arranged
with an out of town team in many
a year, and win or lose, WAA has
started something that should go

Considering that approximately
sixty women turn out for hockey,
more play days should be planned,
not only in hockey, but also in oth-
er sports, If hockey is important
enough to be taught in the gym
classes twice a week for a period of
eight weeks, it is important enough
to hold the interests of the students
in intercollegiate rivalry,

Two Games

It is expected that two teams will
be playing at the same time as this
is one of the prerequisites of a
play day.

The Sophomores constitute a
majority of the first team number-
ing six. The Juniors follow with
three, and the Seniors are not far
behind with two representatives,
The frosh as yet have not produced
any outstanding hockey players, but
four ’49ers will play on the second
team. Four Sophomores, and two
Juniors will complete the team,
Skidmore’s Team

Skidmore has had excellent teams
in the last few years and is expect~-
ed to live up to its reputation this
year. With its course in physical
education, sports are stressed, and

Communication . .

To the Sports Editor:

For the past two or three weeks
there has been a rumor going
around that MAA isn’t living up to
its “promises.”

As far as we can see there is no
truth in the statement because up
to the present day MAA has been
carrying on some form of activity.
What about the football games and
the Ping Pong tournament which is
now in its final stages? Or don’t
they count?

We also feel that MAA should be
allowed to leave “the dungeon of
suppression” and be given the same
freedom any other organization on
campus receives, A current exam-
ple of this was the State-Slena foot-
ball game. When State was to play
Siena, MAA was told either to play
it elsewhere or cancel the game as
the field was taken, This seems to
be the same answer received when
other MAA events had been ar-
ranged for the field,

We think that preference should
be given to these intercollegiate
sports events over intramurals since
it is the only opportunity that this
college has for competition with
other schools in the field of sports,

Since the men are willing to up-
hold State traditions—why not sup-
port them in thelr efforts?

Athletic Points
Spotlite Rivalry
Sport Score Tied

Sporting events constitute twenty-
two and one-half points of the final
rivalry score. Since this is almost
one-half of the total sixty points
awarded, it is of great importance
that sports should hold the interest
of not only the rivalry classes, but
also the entire school.

Considering that the sports
events have been almost evenly
split so far, we can see that each
classic will be fought to the bitter
end, This year both competing
classes have shown outstanding
skill in all forms of athletics.

Campus Day

On Campus Day, for the first
time in many years, the freshmen
topped the Sophs in the one hun-
dred yard dash, the three-legged
race and the old clothes race, win-
ning three points. 48 trailed with
a score of one point acquired by
crossing the line first in the sack
race, The Sophs also failed to win
the relay races last year.

However, on November 8, '48 in-
creased its score by beating the
freshmen, 2-0 in the hockey game.
Both teams were excellent on de-
fense, but '49 lacked that extra
drive the Sophs had. The ‘48ers
had played together for a longer
period of time and this gave them
a slight edge over the frosh.

Rivalry Score

The rivalry score then stood 3-3
as far as sports were concerned. Of
course the frosh received one and
one-half points for the Campus Day
skit, bringing the total score to 4%4-
3 in their favor.

Basketball season starts directly
after Thanksgiving and after two
months of practice, the rivalry bas-

9 Ketball game will be held. Three

points will be awarded to the class
whose team wins two out of three
games, Last year '48 was defeated.
This year because of practice with
the house teams and added practice
with the class team, '48, is favored,
but the frosh are not lacking in
spirit and teamwork and great things
are expected of them.

Winter Sports

The winter sports, ping pong,
swimming and bowling will net a
total of six and one-half points, In
the bowling matches the three
points will be awarded to the class
which is successful in two out of
three matches. This is an event in
which both the men and women will
participate, since there will be a
team of each,

Softball will be featured in the
spring season. Forty-nine showed
great promise during frosh camp
and at that time, working as a
unit, it has an excellent chance to
beat the Sophs,

Cheering Counts

Cheering at all these events are
scored and on Moving-Up Day five
points are awarded to the class that
originated and presented the best
cheers, Even if you don't partici-
pate in the athletic events you can
still help your class by showing up
at the games and cheering your re-
spective team along.

WAA Maiden Hayride
By Light of Silvery Moon

“We are old cowhands out
in Slingerlands!

Oh, the moon is bright and
the hay is grand!

But there ain’t no men to
hold our hands!”

Such tear-jerking melodies
were raised above the clipety-
clop of horses hoofs during the
WAA hayride. Occasionally a
piercing scream rang out when
the hores pulling the second wa-
gon hungered for a strand of
Binn’ soft, once fragrant hair.
Ellie, you look simply devastat-
ed—oops, I mean devastating—
in short hair, however uneven!

Wasn't that hot chocolate de-
licious, gals? Yes, it looked
slightly anemic and smacked of
apples, but it was hot choco-
late. The entertainment was
super and definitely tied in with
the informal theme of the eve-
ning.

A great deal of formerly unre-
vealed prowess and skill was dis-
covered during the volley ball
game. Athletes, where have you
been hiding your talents?

Zippin Defeated;
Weiner - Wagner
Meet In Finals

The last game of the semi-finals
of the MAA ping-pong tournament
was played off last Wednesday. Herb
Weiner downed Cal Zippin three out
of four games. This leaves only the
final match between Wagner and
to be played off.

In the match between Zippin and
Wiener, it looked as if Zippin was
going to give Weiner more than a
little trouble, Zippin has a style that
is hard to beat. His main asset is
that he keeps his opponent on his
toes by his variety of surprise
strikes. On che other hand, Weiner

Council Selects
Basketball Heads

Games Start In Dec.,

New Members Initiated

WAA held a Council meeting,
Tuesday, November 13, to plan the
fall sports program.

It has been announced by Mary
Seymour, '46, President of WAA,
that the basketball tournament will
be started directly after Thanks-
giving vacation. Sweeney and Bak-
er, Juniors, and Quinn, '48, have
been named captains of this sport.

These girls have asked that all
teams wishing to participate in the
intramural basketball tournament
should hand in their names before
vacation begins. The schedule
wall be planned during the recess.

Each house on campus is request-
ed to field a team as this will cre-
ate rivalry and spirit between the
groups. Last year sixteen teams
participated in the league. They
were Stokes Hall, Newman Hall,
Moreland Hall, Chi Sig, Wren Hall,
Kappa Delta, Psi Gam, Phi Delta,
Beta Zeta, Alpha Epsilon Phi,
Sayles Hall, Rares, Dynamiters,
Whiz Kids, Tommy More, and Gam-
ma Kap. Pierce Hall dropped out
of the schedule but it is hoped that
it will combine some of its groups
and form a team that is representa-
tive of the dorm.

Gamma Kap won the basketball
cup last year taking it from Chi Sig
who won for the ’43-’44 season. In
order to keep the cup permanently,
a team must win the tournament
for three consecutive years, so com-
petition among the group houses is
strong.

Muriel Owens and Margaret Sea-
man, newly elected Representative
and Manager of the Class of '49,
were installed as members of the
Council,

The freshmen representatives
were appointed as the committee in
charge of refreshments for the

,ay day tomorrow against Skid-
nore. All of the Council will act
as members of the Reception Com-
mittee,

WAA Tea Held;

game equally well. His style is con-
sistant, and his strokes do not vary
a great deal in force,

The first game was very even,
There was little difference in the
score right from the beginning. Both
players were nervous and not up to
thelr usual form, but it looked like
Zippin's game from the very begin-
ning, and he followed through by
taking the game 21-19,

In the second game both players
gained confidence and started out
with determination. Both players
worked into top form, and for a
while it looked like anybodys game.
Unlike Zippin who gains confidence
when he is winning, Weiner plays
better in a clinch. Weiner led at
first, but the score evened up at 16-
16. Zippin tried to keep on a par
with Weiner, and for a moment
there was great indicision, They
volleyed for a period of two min-
utes. Weiners steady defensive fin-
ally proved superior to Zippins sur-
prise plays and Weiner set Zippin
back to the tune of 21-16.

The third and fourth games were
Weiners from the start. However,
toward the very end of the fourth
the tension was once more built up.
Weiner started off with a three
point lead which he maintained un-
til the very end of the game. Zippin
caught up to make the score deuce.
For @ moment it was again any-
bodys game, Zippin rallied to make
the next point, but Weiner came
through with two smashing drives,
and made the next two points in
succession taking the game and pro-
moting himself to the finals.

Tea Time was here again! WAA,
under the leadership of Mary Lydia
Seymour, ‘46, President, sponsored
a tea yesterday for the faculty and
members of the student body, in the
Lounge.

The freshmen were introduced to
the athletically inclined upperclass-
men and those sport enthusiasts of
"49 were met by State.

Last year Women's Athletic As-
sociation also sponsored a tea and
this proved so successful that it
has now become a tradition.

Edna Sweeney, ‘47, and Wilma
Diehl, '48, spoke on their experiences
at hockey camp this summer and
Chuck Axelrod, '47, staged a fencing
exhibition,

Miss Johnston, Miss Foster, Mary

Lucky (?)'Car Owners Have
Hazardous Journeys Home

There are those that enjoy
their trips home for vacation
and then there are others...

It seems as how a couple of
lucky car owners had some
trouble on the way to New York
a week ago Tuesday, Dauntless
Minnie was put-putting merrily
on her way when “wham!
squish!” and that was one tire.
Before long it was two tires and
the end of poor Minnie.

Kaufman’s car apparently de-
cided it was not to be outdone
for it was rolling into New York
when “wham! squish!”—yep, you
guessed it, And then there's the
little matter of getting back to
Alvany—no, no flat tires, it was
the clutch this time—it slipped.

After this calamity, the be-
draggled occupants sacrificed
their meager fortunes for a ride
to Poughkeepsie where they
straggled into the railroad sta-
tion. The fitting climax would
be to have the train break down,
but honest, it didn’t
