Seniors To Give
First “Big Eight’’
State's “Big Ten” proved to be
such a tremendous success last year
that Student Association voted to
continue a project similar to it each
year during the duration of the war.
st year's “Big Ten” netted a profit
of approximately $1800. enough
to purchase a war bond that was
used to buy a field ambulance, The
“Big Ten” was a series of presenta-
tions given by the various classes,
organizations, and the faculty.
This year the “Big Eight" will
make it appearance as the backbone
of State's social life and war effort
Elizabeth Mc' th, ‘46, has been
appointed chairman of the commit-
tee for the “Big Eight.” Other mem-
bers on the committee are Mary Lou
Haines, ‘46, Judy Dube, ‘47, and
Susan O'Connell, '48
The following schedule, although
tentative, will probably be rather
closely adhered to.

of ‘48 was introduced to Mi

Newman And SCA
Make Plans For Frolics
Newman Club and SCA start the
round of parties for the Freshmen
this weekend. The two religious
clubs open their doors and invite
the Frosh in to get acquainted.
Followng tradition, the Newman
Club Frolic for freshmen will be held
tonight at 8:00 P.M, in Newman
Hall, 741 Madison Avenue. Marie
DeChene, General Chairman,
invites all freshmen and uppercla
men to take this opportunity to meet
each other and to become acquainted
with the purpose and schedule of
Newman Club.
Rev. William Cahill, Chaplain of
Newman Hall, will open the program
with a welcome speech to the Class
of ‘48. Marguerite Bostwick, ‘45,

of welcome to the freshmen.
After that, the Frolic, in the
literal sense of the word, will begin.
Dancing to the “Vic” in the “Rec”
will take up the greater part of the
evening's program. Refreshments
will also be served.
Assisting Chairman Marie DeChene
with the plans are B. J. McGrath
on the Reception Committee, Marie
Tripasso taking care of Food, Agnes
cleaning up, Jo Maggio on
with the
Vic and Records. A committee head-
ed by Helen Slack will provide enter-

backbone of humor in State.

of the year, will be given tomorrow
night at 8:30 P. M. in the Ingle Room

Saturday was a real day of orien-

hike over the college campus and
through Washington ‘Park. ‘The style
show under the direction of Dorothea
Smith, 45, gave the freshmen an
idea of what one wears around State
and the Frosh ‘Talent Show revealed
the fact that the Class of ‘48 is st
prisingly “unshy" and extremely re-
sourceful in whipping up an ente:
tainment at short notice.
There was «in anyone's
mind, however, that the highlight of
the evening was the skit put on by
the “dignified” seniors Guarfall,

Week. The upperclassmen and faculty are turning
their efforts towards making you, the freshmen, feel
a part of State. You will meet people, learn the
traditions, hear a new kind of slang and listen to
advice, asked and unasked, You will be confronted
with new ideas and ways of doing things. To a
freshmen these new things are an influence, for
the upperclassmen aura is strong enough for the
first half year of school to throw a glamor around
themselves. Therefore, freshmen, beware of making

APOTHEGMS
AND
SHORT RATIONS
By SUNNA COOPER
Phyllis went through my freshman
year at college with me, and I don’t
think I'll ever forget her, She came
from a small town, and everything
was new and wonderful to her. I
was enthusiastic about everything,
too, but it was being with Phyllis
that made all our new experiences
seem more enjoyable and wondrous.
‘There was an Alice-In-Wonderland
look about her and every new adven-
ture was as important to us as dis-
covering Mexico must have been to
Cortez.
She tried out for Dramatics and I
fooled around with Debate. Con-
scientious was the word: every big
event that took place also took Phyl
down to the Dramatics office and
she spent the best days of her life
writing out invitations to faculty
members and other bigwigs.
One thing that Phyllis wanted
more than anyone else in our gang
was to teach. We wanted to teach,
but we didn’t have any of that fer-
vor instilled in us that she did,
Besides, we had three years to think
it over, so why cross a bridge before
we come to it, But not Phyll
was hanging around the P.T.’
hear what they had to say. A crazy
kid, she was, but we loved her,
I hate to use the word sweet. It
makes me think of a super-activated
goody-goody, which is what Phyllis
definitely was not, But her temper-
ment was so evenly paced that it re-
minded me of a cool unruffled Jabot.
She was always so sweet to everybody
and yet you knew you could dunk
her under the shower with her
clothes on and she'd take it like a
sport. That's why we felt so bad
when luck just didn’t happen to fall
her way.
Tt all started in second semester
when her Dad got sick and lost h
job, Her folks wanted to take her
* out of school, but she wrote and told
them she was pretty sure she could
get outside jobs up at school and
still manage to keep her marks up.
She got a job at the dorm as wait-
ress, and every evening until 12 she
worked downtown in a restaurant.
It was a pretty grueling schedule for
anyone, and we wondered how long
she'd be able to keep it up, At least
until June, we hoped.
She did her homework after she
got home from work, and many times
we'd go in her room and find her
asleep at the desk,
I don't think it would have hap-
pened if she hadn’t lost so much
weight or if her parents had given
her just a little encouragement, De-
pressing letters from home are
enough to shatter anyone's morale
and hers was on the borderline.
‘The night before the final in “19th
Century Poetry” she came tearing
into my room to see my notes on
Rosetti, She was terribly nervous
because she’d been absent for that
section,
The next morning she confided to
me that she was going to take a
slip of paper into the test with
short summaries of Rosetti’s poetry.
I begged her not to, but she said that
was the only one she was unsure of
and it would be just her luck to get
it on the exam. She'd never cheated
before in her life, but she just had
to pass the course or her folks would
have a reason for not allowing her
to go back.
I myself was uneasy all through
the exam, but I nearly cried when
the prof came over and started ques-
tioning her. The next thing I knew
the prof went to the front of the
room and majestically tore up her
exam before the whole class, He said
her poetry mark would go down as E,
That wouldn't suffice—he had to
shame her in front of the class, by
making her admit out loud she had
come with the intentions of cheating.
All I could notice was how tired
she looked, She was Phyllis, but her
enthusiasm was gone. She didn't
come back the next fall.
The funniest thing of all was that
we didn’t have anything about Ro-
setti on the test.

‘To the Editor:
‘This year T understand that 300
girls are registered in the freshman
class, which means that in a few
we there will be exhibited around
the school, Boul, and dorms an al-
most indefatigable rushing on the
part of sororities.
After all, 300 women to get to know
ain't hay. Which leads to my pro-
blem, Mr. Anthony. Do you think
it is exactly a square deal to the
freshmen to leave the quotas for
sorority pledging at 15?
7 Umes 15 Is only 105. 7 times 16
means that only one-third of the
freshmen women will be allowed to
join sororities,
Don't you think it's about time that
we got a little more broad-minded on
this matter, AND MORE DEMO-
CRATIO, and raised the quota? Even
permitting 20 to join each sorority
is in comparison a small proportion
because 7 mes 20 is only 140. See
what T mean?
If we should put ourselves in the
boots of a new freshman, we might
understand, It’s not the pleasantest
thought to think you might not be
one of the “select few." On the other
hand, keeping down the quota might
make the independents more inde-
pendent. Which isn’t such a bad
idea either,
T dunno. It's all Greek to me.
Square-Dealer In-Sorority.

occurred last year. I was getting

Group To Inspect
Farrell Mansion
Extent Of Practicability
Soon To Be Determined
This morning in Assembly Flor-
ence Garfall, '45, President of Stu-
dent Association, will officially
announce the appointment of the
investigating committee of the
proposed Student Union and will
offer it for approval to the student
body.
The tentative members of the
committee are Dr. John M, Sayles,
representing che administration, Dr.
Ralph Beaver, representing | the
faculty, Florence Garfall, '45, repre-
senting Student Council, Robert
Loucks, '45, Kathryn Kendall, ‘46,
and Marjorie O'Grady, '47, A mem-
ber of the Class of '48 will be chosen
at a later date.
It is hoped that the investigation
of Farrell will be completed by the
end of October. All members of the
Student Association are invited to
visit Farrell and to form their own
individual opinions. An architect
also will be asked to inspect the
house and to give his professional
decision.
Motion Passed In June
In the last assembly in June, a
bill providing for the establishment
of a Student Union Fund was
passed by Student Association, This
bill called for the appointment of a
committee this fall to investigate
Farrell House and to rate it abil-
ity for stich a project. If it is ap-
proved, Farrell House may be used
next year as a Student Union, If
not, the money already appropriated
will be set aside as the foundation
for a fund that will accumulate dur-
ing the next ten year nd which,
at the end of the ten years, will
be used for the erection of a new
building for a Student Union
To House i *
As decided last yea Student
Union at State would consist of a
the offices of all
nizations, a lounge for student
, a dance floor, refreshment bar,
and other recreation rooms. At
present, organization offices are in
the Commons.
To begin the fund, the $1300 in
the surplus of the Student Associa-
tion was used. Upon graduation,
each senior will be requested to
pledge $100 to be contributed to
the Student Union fund during his
first ten years as an alumnae. As
a class graduates, its surplus may
be given to the fund if the class
so desires. ix dollars from each
Student Tax ticket sold will be set
aside for Student Union. The money
received from the “Big Eight”
tions this year and follow-
ing years will be invested in bonds
which upon maturity will be added
to the fund. If necessary, a loan
can be floated at the end of the
ten years which can be repaid by
the students who will use the build-
ing upon completion. Dr, Ralph
Beaver, Assistant Professor of
Mathematics is in charge of the
fund.

‘The Frolic will end in time for the
freshmen in other group houses to
arrive at their rooms by midnight.
Used Book Exchange Open
The Used Book Exchange opened
for business yesterday morning, and
will remain open from 9 A.M. to

‘45, head of the
Used Book requests that
studetns bring books they
would like to rent or sell to the
Book Exchange in the lower hall
of Drape “We hope,” said Miss
Munzer, “that the Book Exchange
will be as successful as it was last
year and that all students will stop
by during the week to see if the
Exchange has any of the books they
need,”
Resolved—
That $1300 be taken from the Surplus and be put in a fund for a
Student Union and that the student Tax ticket be raised to $20.00, $6.00
of which shall be put into this fund to be used for a Student Union at

Baker Reports Changes
Made During Summer
Mr. Ernest Baker, Chief Engineer
of the College, has reported several
improvements in the appearance of
the college during the summer.
The side walks in front of the
Washington Avenue entrance were
repaved in June. New tile floors
were laid in several of the lavatories
and concrete floors were put in the
girls’ locker rooms in place of the
former wooden ones,
Last year, the Rotunda floors were
done over and there were several
other improvements made in the
Annex area, cafeteria, and Com-
mons. The News office was also
improved.
Pedagogue Out Monday
The 1943-44 issue of the Peda-
gogue, edited by Mary Domann,
‘44, will be distributed on Monday
to those who ordered a copy. The
Pecagogue was scheduled to come
out in the spring.
State Loses The Drama
AD Crossed Off The List
According to the Registrar,
Miss Elizabeth Vandenburg, Ad-
vanced Dramatics has definitely
been eliminated from the college
program for the year 1944-45,
During the past twenty-five
years, AD has acted as a safety-
valve for dramatically-minded
State students and has provided
invaluable experience in speak-
ing and acting that could not be
gained in any other way, It has
also given to the student body on
alternate Tuesdays a taste of the
legitimate theater and has ac-
quainted many of them, audio-
visually, with plays of such
famed playwrites as Shakespeare,
Barrie, and Shaw.
But this year, AD has bowed
out. Shall we chalk it up to the
war?

Welcome Frosh
The Junior Guide Committee,
headed by Joan Mather and Robert

morning to organize and make plans
for the orientation of the new
freshmen into State. ‘
Guides were chosen from the
Sophomore and Junior classes last
spring by Dr, Ellen Stokes, Dean of
Women, Joan Mather and Jean
Groden, Juniors, and divided into
33 teams with one captain and two
guides per team,
Write Freshmen
During the summer, each guide
and captain received a mimeo-
graphed list of the three freshmen
she was to introduce to State. The
suldes wrote to their freshmen dur-
ing the summer, telling them about
the college, On Monday afternoon
the guides conducted a tour through
the buildings, then on Tuesday
morning held a group meeting with
the freshmen. During the week,
they met the freshmen for lunch,

Aylites
_ Down through the history of the
Sports department it has been a
standard policy for the new editor
to spend his or her first column
analizing the talents athletic of the
incoming frosh and predicting the
future of WAA and MAA according-
ly. And as each of the aforemen-
tioned editors has done, we are
about to issue a glowing report.
Yes, Football
From accounts we've heard, the
future looks good—to be conserva-
tive. When there is hope for an
all-man Rivalry football game we'd
venture to say that things are look-
ing up. The last time such an event
took place was in ‘42. Most of the
boys who gave their all that day
are now giving their all on another,
different, fleld of action. But be-
fore we digress too far, we want to
wish MAA lots of luck with thelr
football plans; and the various local
draft boards, Our motive is slightly
ulterior, we must confess. ,. The
more MAA does, the better we like
it.
About WAA
From where we sit, this looks like
WAA’s year. They have excellent
Jeadership, a full schedule, and,
certainly, plenty of material with
which to work. We hear that two
of the frosh have played softball
with a professional league team.
Much interest was shown in the
sport last year. Now with this ad-
ded incentive we are expecting great
things,
It even begins to looks as if Gar-
fall will have to do some stepping
this year to k eep the tennis trophy.
There finally is some competition
lined up. For the benefit of the
“uninitiated” and those with short
memories, Flo won the tournament
when she was a frosh. Since then
the weather and the Albany Par
Dep't have conspired to end the
season before the tournament could
be. We're keeping our typewriters
crossed for this year.
Suggestion of the Week
And, by the way, sport fans, these
tennis matches make really worth-
while watching. We'd like to put-in
a plug for better attendance, You
can see a good game, enjoy the
senic beauty of Washington Park,
and get your daily quota of Vitamin
D via direct contact, all in one
afternoon. Here's hoping that the
captains will publish the times of
matches. It will give us a chance
to check up on the effectiveness of
our advertising,
Now for the usual word to the
frosh, Ever since you arrived you've
been handed all brands of advice.
It's an upperclassman’s privilege.
You're probably immune by now but
here are some bits of wisdom we
hope you will at least consider, A
teacher to be successful must de-
velop a well-rounded _personalit;
Your studies are important—don't
neglect, them—but anyone who de-
votes all her time to study {s mi
ing out on an {mportant part of
college life. She loses out as far
as forming friendships and keeping
in touch with the outside world is
concerned. The rude awakening
comes when the young teacher finds
herself totally out of sympathy with
the interests of her students, She
finds no common ground on which
to meet them,
This build-up is leading to an
appeal to the frosh to be active in
sports, We find no better method
for keeping fit, working off excess
energy and forming valuable friend-
ships. In high school, 1t see
only the athletic super:
considered and encourage:
honor of Podunk High is continually
at stake, Here at State, however,
everyone who likes a sport is urged
to come out and have some fun.
There are opportunities for the
“average” player,
Help
As we look about the Newe office,
we are cheered by the cleanliness,
the cosy atmosphere, the quantities
of space. The only thing that wor-
ries us a little is the absence of
people, The Sports Corner seems
particularly empty. Frankly, we
miss the happy throng and would
greatly appreciate the presence of
any new and interesting faces, In
short, If anyone would care to try
out for the sport's department, we
would love to have them.—The only
requirement being a knowledge of
the English language. A slight in-
terest in sports would naturally be
appropriate,
Rumors of Football Circulate
As State Rediscovers Men
“We haye men again!”
“Football? Real football? Not
just the Serabian kind?”
“Ah, yes. 1944 has brought
thirty-three more members of
that rare species “men” to State,
the “co-ed’’ home of females, and
with them come rumors of foot-
ball and intercollegiate basket-
ball games to thrill the hearts of
all gcod Statesmen,
Rumor also says that Kaufman
and Dickinson are getting to-
gether, with Hess, men’s sports
reporter listening in... And that
basketball games among the
stronger sex may yet become a
part of rivalry this year.
But the wise will wait and
hope, before singing a prayer of
thanks. ...
Frosh Campers
Rugged But Right
— McGRATH and JOHNSTON —
Amidst flying balls, the crack of
bats, creaking bones, and general
confusion, the class of '48 was off
to a flying start. Not only are they
super-athletic, agile and spirited,
but our newest additions took all
that frosh week-end had to offer—
and came kack for more.
In true sport’s page style, the
events were both hard-fought and
hotly contested! See, you can tell
Kiley’s gone.) Out of the kindness
of our hearts we feel it our duty
to warn the Green Gremlins that
they are in for some pretty stiff
competition.
Rumors, rumors
Action on the baseball diamond
was fast and furious, The hitting
was surprisingly good although the
fielding will probably improve in
time. There were even two pro-
fessionals to lead the way. Rita
Shapiro should spark-plug the frosh
attack throughout the season. Ru-
mor has it that she is a hardened
veteran of a big city league, This
same rumor bug neglected to divulge
the name of our other pro, How-
ever, it is not too early to predict
that with customary freshman acu-
men, they are probably saving her
as a secret weapon.
Mary Bess Vernoy ‘46 and Peg
Bostwick ‘45 had charge of tennis.
Prospects look exceptionally good
this year according to their glowing
reports,
Right this way, ladies
One of the highlights of last
week-end was a grand tour of Al-
bany, the college, and environs--on
foot! We thought this was particu-
larly considerate of the counsellors,
since a jaunt or two up State Street
should be sufficient to put any
freshman into the invigorated and
devil-may-care condition that is a
prerequisite to withstanding rigors
of the Johnston-Foster regime in
lower Page.
Tt was agreed that frosh week-end
was indeed a gay and not too pain-
ful initiation into the routine of
State. Tt is an experience that will
not soon be forgotten by the fortu-
hate participants,
Frosh Frolic Postponed
Due to inclement weather,
Frosh Frolic, which was scheduled
lo be held on last Wednesday, was
postponed. If the weather permits,
the affair will take place on the
Dorm Field, tomorrow. between
2:30 and 5:00 p,m. Helen Slack and

activities and they promise a full
program including plenty of refresh-
ments! All students are invited to

Intra-Mural Football Loop WAA Reveals
Men’s Rivalry Game
Discussed As Feature
In his first press conference of
the year MAA director Bob Dickin-
son announced that there would be
intra-mural football at the college
this fall. He plans to have a four
team loop and more if humanly
possible. He stressed the fact that
the league will be open to members
of all classes and urged the fresh-
men to take part,
Intra-mural football has been a
fixture at State College for many
years. It can’t take the place of
inter-collegiate competition, but it
does give a greater percentage of the
male students a chance to partici-
pate, As the game is played here it
js a cross between touch and tackle.
The rules state that before the ball
carrier is downed the opposing player
must have laid both hands on the
runners seat. Also, sneakers are the
only type of footwear permitted on
the field. This cuts out all chances
for cleat wounds and speeds up the
game if the ground is hard.
Art Kaufman, assistant MAA head
wants the students to support the
league by turning out in large num-
bers for the game. He said he didn't
care where it was, but that the sight
and sound of a cheering mass of
co-eds always seemed to spur the
players on to greater efforts.
Dickinson brought up an idea is
gaining much favor throughout the
school. That is, a soph-frosh rivalry
football game, Last year there
weren't enough soph men for such a
game and consequently the men
were unable to directly add to the
rivalry score of their classes. He
added that rivalry basketball would
be possible if the football deal goes
through.
Whatever decision is made on the
rivalry question the air will soon be
filled with footballs, cheers, groans,
et al, heralding the advent of an-
other season of pigskin parading on
the Page Hall field. Those wishing
to sign up for the league may do so
on the MAA bulletin board by the
men’s locker room,
Lockers To Be Distributed
‘There has been a change in the
policy for handling lockers this year.
Miss Johnston, rather than Mr.
Deyo, will be in charge of their
distribution. Freshmen, transfer
students, and grads will be able to
get lockers about the middle of
next week.
Further notice will be posted on
the door of Miss Johnston's office.
The cooperation of the student body
is asked in keeping the newly clean-
ed locker rooms that way.
Four Tourneys
On MAA List
To Start Soon
— By George W. Hess
A long time ago some enterpris-
ing gent thought up the idea of
having tournaments. Times have
changed a bit, though, since lum-
bering giants in coats of mail went
knocking around the countryside
battering similarly clad and equally
cumbersome chums from the backs
of horses. In these enlightened
times we are much more interested
in proving our superiority over our
fellow men with such implements
as ping-pong paddles, pool cues,
tennis racquets and bowling balls,
Last year the lack of men cur-
tailed the tennis tourney to the ex-
tent that it was made an open af-
fair for both sexes. However, a
man did win it, Bob Ferber trounc-
ed Flo Garfall in a wild and wooly
game. With numerous sophomore
men returning and over thirty male
frosh on hand, chances are very
good that MAA will sponsor its own
tennis round-robin. With the frosh
as an unknown factor and with Fer-
ber not coming back, it looks like
Jim Miner will be the man to beat,
In ping-pong it was again Ferber
who romped home in front. Phil
Lashinsky gave him a terrific battle
in the finals before bowing in three
out of five games. Of last year's
contestants many have improved
their game and are already casting
greedy eyes on
Lashinsky and Dickinson now look
like the class of the competition

New Prof. Intrigues Classes With lales of the Orient
enough for this enthusiastic lover of
With the mystic wonder of the
Orient still rich in her memories, Dr.
Ethel E. Ewing, new Assi:
fessor of Political Science
Economics, comes to State. Small
though she may be, Dr. Ewing has
behind her a wealth of experiences
and a treasure of knowledge of for-
eign countries that promises to make
her courses here at State “something
different.”
Hailing from western Pennsylvania
Dr. Ewing has been on the go a good
part of her life. Muskingum College,
Ohio, granted her a B.A. degree;
Radelyffe College in Cambridge,
Massachusetts awarded her a Mas-
ters of Arts, and some time later,
she gained her Ph.D. in Cornell Uni-
versity, Ithaca, for extensive work
done in the field of the Far East
But merely studying the Far East
in American Universities was not
the Orient. In 1937 and ‘38, Dr.
Ewing travelled through many of the
lands of the “yellow folks.” Those
years, before the beginning of active
animosity between Japan and the
United States, proved to be the ideal
lime for such research work as Dr.
Ewing planned to do. In the actual
war areas, it was almost impossible
to travel but in all other sections,
travelling was still comparatively
safe and free
As an_ eye-witness in Japanese
controlled territories and after living
in them for a while, Dr. Ewing states
what we have so often heard but
chalked up to propaganda that the
policy of such controlled areas is
definitely one of stern exploitation.
Formosa, Korea, Manchuria, and
Northern China were all inchided in
Dr. Ewing's Far Eastern journey.
Later she went to India, Indo-China, °
Siam, and Malaya.
State first met Dr. Ewing last
spring when she lectured here to
many of the history and_ political
science groups. Students listened
with interest to her graphic descrip-
tion of China and her all-expansive
knowledge of China's histor
chronological list of the emperors of
the Chin dynasties is just part of
the day's routine for this learned
scholar.
Although Dr Ewing conceals her
rare experiences beneath a quiet, un-
ostentatious attitude, State students
are looking forward to a full year—
a year of lectures that will not be dull
because the “Prof” will not be quot-
ing “book-larning” but will be speak-
ing from her own experience,
