Hunt Addresses
Social Studies
Teachers Group

“Facts are a means to an end, and
though I respect facts I believe that
too much emphasis is placed on
textbook information that is never
used or remembered”, stated Dr. Erl-
ing Hunt, Chairman of the Depart-
ment of , Social Studies Teaching,
Teachers ‘College, Columbia Univer-
sity. Dr, Hunt was addressing the
Capital District Association of So-
cial Studies Teachers at a meet-
ing held last Tuesday at State Col-
lege.

The address entitled “What's
Wrong With The Teaching of So-
cial Studies?” stressed the need for
definite action that must be made in
the educational field. Particularly
emphasized was the gap that exists
between the high school graduate
and his attainment of full political
rights. Active community partici-
pation was suggested as one remedy.

Another outstanding point made
by Dr. Hunt was the need for un-
biased presentation in school text
books, As an example he cited a re-
port made oy the American Council
on Education. After a study of
American textbooks on South Amer~
ica they concluded that in many
instances Latin-American Culture
was looked down upon and misin-
formation was predominate

“College of the Empire State,
mother of .. .” No, it wasn’t an
Assembly program at which
these words were sung; this
time the audience was a radio
audience and the only assembly
was that of the kids at the Al-
bany Home as SMILES spon-
sored their broadcast from the
Home last Wednesday.

State's musical capabilities
were revealed under the leader-
ship of Mr. Karl Peterson, In-
structor of Music, as the Men's
Glee Club, the “Choralettes” (a
special voice group) and Tink
Witt Penn presented their speci-
alities. The Men’s Glee Club
opened with State’s Alma Mater
and then sang “Stout-Hearted
Men,” “Stars of the Summer
Night” and, appropriately,
“winter Song.” “Quiet” issued
forth from the Choralettes, who
also ended the program with
“Begin the Beguine.” Miss Witt
Penn's solo was “Singing Vine.”

During the program Charlie
Miller told of the work of
SMILES at State and urged
other colleges to follow our ex-
ample.

State Shows Republican Tendency

It appears that State’s Republican
tendencies have not changed. Only
once in che twenty years that polls
have been conducted at State, has
a Democratic candidate for Presi-
dent been favored by the student
body. This was one of the five times
that Roosevelt was voted upon at
the college.

Art department. is. sponsoring this
week, from Monday through Friday,
an exhibition of a Rockwell Kent
original, and some reproductions of
his work. «

The display will feature an origin-
al lithograph “Good Bye Day," by

Ruth Hutchins, Assistant Professor
of Fine Arts, by the Print Club of
Albany. ‘The display will include two

ace At State

Choose Republican ’28

In 1928, the college chose Republi-
can Albert Ottinger 2-1 over Frank-
lin D. Roosevelt for Governor of
New York. Roosevelt won the State

election, however, The student vot- -

sers gave Herbert Hoover a 2-1 ma-
jority over Roosevelt in 1932, but
Roosevelt came through in the elec-
tion with a landslide vote.

State favored the Republican side
again in 1940 when Willkie was fa-
vored by a 17 vote majority. They
remained Republican in 1944 when
Dewey received a 25 vote edge on
Roosevelt.

It is evident that elections at
State have very little bearing on
the national clection and that the
results of this poll would forecast a
defeat for Dewey since the polls in
previous years have almost invaria-
bly acted as negative indicators,
Offer Opinions

Some definite opinion was of-
fered; some unusual opinion was of-
fered, and some opinions indicated
that the choice does not lie with
anyone now apparently in the run-
ning. The following statements are
indicative of this:

Mary Eade '51—"Dewey should be
elected because he is young, has
new ideas and has the faith of the
public.”

Sparky Vaughn '50—“My choice
is Vandenburgh because he is the
most capable man in a position to
run.”

Audrey Koch '50 -- “A dark
horse will get it and my guess is
Eric Johnston.”

James Cafaro ‘60—“Errol Flynn
will win if all his children vote for
him.”

Nancy Mowbray '49—“Dean Nel-
son is the man for the job".

Betty Hutton '50—“Dutch Schul+
tue".

As a result of the dissatisfaction
shown by the student body in re-
yard ta the performance of Eddie

has written to the Columbia Lee:
ture Bureau expressing their
pleasure.

fecl the performance lived up to the
written and verbal agreements the
Bureau made at the time the con-
tract was signed in May of last
year. The Council does not feel that
the failure of the lecture was due
to Mr. Dowling but rather to the
misrepresentation of the Lecture
Bureau. ‘This is the first time that
this bureau has ever proved un-
sitisfactory to State College.

‘The letter also stated that unless
something was done to compensate
for the financial loss of the Dra-

Students, Treasurers Speculate,
“Who Pays Veterans’ Dues?”

Around the State College
campus, the question of the
week is: “Who's paying the
veterans’ class -dues?” Class
treasurers say that due to a
recent ruling of the Veterans
Administration, the veterans
must pay the dues themselves.
Yet, the vets know little, if any-
thing, about the situation.
Many of them claim that the
VA has paid them in the past
and would presumably pay
them now. However, class treas-
urers are getting worried, The
Sophomore class has already
allocated money that they ex-
pected from the VA but now,
due to the recent ruling, the
class will go into the red unless
the veterans pay out of their
own pocket.

Clarification of this situa-
tion as to the why and what
may come later, but at the
present time all student
veterans are held responsible for
class dues. Those who have
not paid thelr dues should con-
tact their class treasurer and
see just where they stand,

Creole Carnival

Until Next Year

John Jennings ‘49, Chairman of
Inter-Group Council, has announc-
ed that the Creole Carnival will be
postponed until next year, due to
circumstances beyond their control.
Tentative plans are in the making,
for a State College night at the Al-
bany Playhouse.

Causes Cancellation

IL was hoped that the Carnival
could take place during the Mardi
Gras Week, but because of a crow-
ded college calendar and the ac-
tivity brought on by the coming
Big Four's, the event will have to
be cancelled until a later date,

Keep Plins For Next Year

The committee in charge of the
plans for the Carnival, under the
chairmanship of Jean MecCabe’49,
plans to keep all scripts, costume
details and musical scores until
next year when they will be ready
for use, At that time, with all
things ready for production, it is
hoped that’ all those who turned
oul in response to Mr, Jennings
appeal for participants will again
be ready to help make the program
A success.

‘The clamor that resulted from Fri-

the repercussions are still to be felt.
It is of little avail to review the “Ser-

delivered, for it was apparent that
the majority of the students attend-
ed his “performance”.

In view of the fact that D & A

payment of the fee. The Council is
seeking, through the means of a
letter addressed to the Lecture Bu-
reau, some: adjustment of the stip-
ulated ameuint.

In the interim, the appropriations
of D & A are to be discussed by the
Board of Finence, It would be un-
fortunate if the Board takes Dowl-
ing as representative of future D,
& A sponsored artists. It is admit-
ted that the Council overstepped its
budget but it must also be acknowl-
edged that good entertainment can-
not be obtained without paying the
price for it—and the price today is
high, Student body has every right
to demand the best artists that D

& A can arrange for, If the Coun-
cil is not appropriated sufficient
funds with which to select and
choose, then the best will be little
better than the poorest.

Mr. Dowling was a mistake, but
it would be unjust to accuse D & A
of that mistake. Either the agency
misrepresented Eddie Dowling’s abil-
ity on the lecture platform, or else
Mr. Dowling was carried away (far
away) by “divine inspiration”, It
was a sad, although ascetic, even-
ing, but if D & A is to suffer as
a result then we may look forward
to even greater sorrows,

We are not criticizing the office for the appar-

ent illogical scheduling of events. But we are
suggesting that perhaps the students themselves are
better qualified to state which activities would at-
tract the student body as a whole and which would
pertain only to a select group.

A Seasonal Offering

By GRAHAM H. DUNCAN

lence found in the winterized model,
and since the magazine can be no
better than the material submitted
for publication, some of the selec-
tions are inconsequential. On the
other hand, the poems of Luke Ziles,
with his lush rush of color from the
artist's palette, are as good as any
to be found in any college maga-
zine. PRIMER, like any other liter-
ary magazine written by young peo-
ple, is largely imitative in techni-
que with the usual echoes of Wolfe,
Elliot, Hemmingway, and others.
This is to be expected, and I sup-
pose we should not even ask what
became of Friday in “The Bell.”
But perhaps when we are young and
have little to say we should worry
more about perfecting our technique
than we do, so that when we finally
have something to express we have
@ way of communicating it most ef-
fectively. In spite of some rather ob-
vious faults, the stories and poems

are generally more compact and
clear than those of previous years.

So much for the vehicle's gain in
cceleratoin. The mechanical fail-
ure, however, to which I refer, is
the same as it has always been, al-
though it is apparently worse with
the motor turning at a higher tem-
po. It is simply that the material to
be included is poorly edited. Of
course, there are conditioning fac-
tors. The editorial staff is rushed
for time; the editor this year was
mainly concerned with producing
two issues and the pressure of so-
lciting enough advertising to fin-
ance them. There is reluctance on
the part of one student to criticize
the writing of another so that a
story is elther rejected or accepted
instead of being accepted and re-
turned with some of the more ob-
vious faults indicated for improve-
ment, Consequently, a story with
monotonous sentence structure is
not polished into its best form, At
the sume time, the printer is cutting
corners in order to give the studenvt
the best job he can at the cheap-
est price; this produces many typo-
graphical errors and three poems
crowded into the space suitable for
two of thm. Nevertheless, it is the
editor's responsibility to see, at least,
that uniform punctuation is em-
ployed throughout. These crippling
details should not be lingered over,
however, when there are so many

Giff Wingnte's “paint-fob" ts by far

Among other things, Mr, Nielsen

This Reporter is given the widest latitude as author
of this column, although his viewpoints do not neces-
sarily reflect those of the Srarm Coutzcs News.

In any phase of life, there must be a point of cred-
uality. The “State” of affairs has slipped into phan-
tasy. Looking at it objectively, one can either throw
up his hands in horror or “Descartes-ly” analyze the
situation.

“HEREIN LIES .. .”

Let us say that at SCT we have a working popula-
tion of 1000 students. The. validity of their. produc-
tion can be demonstrated in two spheres of activity:
1—Academic Achievement and 2—Extra-Curricular
Achivement, *

WANTED: INTROSPECTION

I fear that academic achievement does not mean
how many A’s per semester or the consistency of
names on an abstract Dean's List. It is what you get
out of classes. (You will probably even class the last
statement as idealistic, for you've been conditioned
to think that anything that is a bit beyond one's
grasp must be categorized in that manner.) I'll wager,
without hesitation, that at least 60% of our students
are not sincere in their collegiate travail ... that
they cram for tests, call those who don’t—stooges,
sleep through classes, consider college a chore, etc.
“WHEREIN LIES...” ,

I do not blame the student entirely—but something
is wrong someplace! Where does the fault lie? I sug-
gest:

1—Too much work to be completed in one course.

2—Teachers who take little interest in their work.

3—Ineffective classroom situation.

4—Lack of immediate value and functionalism—
“textbook theory.”

5—Students who work and are too tired to learn.

6—Lack of student and class response—This, I feel,
is often based on the classic student remarks: “eager
beaver" and “apple-polisher.” The eager-beaver just
MAY be interested and as far as apple-polishing
goes...

OOPS! YOUR DEFENSE MECHANISM IS SHOWING
. .» it's @ pretty sad case when student-faculty r
lotions are impaired by labelling. A sincere inte:
between student and professor lies behind the omin-
ous cloud entitled “Apple-Polishing.” Give the pro-
fessor some credit . . . do you really think that he is
unable to detect a phony? These teas may be great
things, but nothing can be more effective than the
spontaneous “give-and-take” of real friendship,
OVER-ACTIVATION

Extra-curricular activities are great BUT, at this
writing, there are almost as many clubs and organiza-
tions as there are students. Therefore, it is obvious
that all these activities cannot be carried out efficient-
ly—or else you'll have a handful running each council.
The “comeback” arguments are: “people must choose
wisely—a person should have ea wide selection—etc.”
But I disqualify these arguments for I agree with
them BUT there should be some way of eliminating
duplication of activity. After this is accomplished, we
must discover a method of publicity for daily and
special events so that you CAN go to what you're in-
terested in!

CENTRALIZATION?

A possible solution is a CENTRAL #
BOARD whose duties would be the follevings
1—Schedule Activities—a student group should take

over what is now done by the administration. Are
We or are we NOT student-governed? Besides, the
students know the live value of the various
organizations on campus and can schedule them
more satisfactorily.
2—Supervise a compilation of a leaflet that would
contain the actual functions of all campus groups
The handbook is merely 9 “glance”—Activities day
, 18 a hodge-podge, "
3—Place a blackboard or slate in a conspicuous place
in, the college. On this slate will be listed the a
tivities for the day, the time and place of their

averaged “B” or better in their col-

‘Two phases, one of advanced study

comprise this program for social

the student at a graduate school of
social work for the summer term.
Then active work experience is given
through placement on the social
work staff of a state hospital for
the mentally ill, or a state school
for the mentally defective, There
the student will carry a limited
case load under class supervision,
thus acquiring valuable in-service
training under well-qualified and
experienced supervisors.

Four hundred and fifty dollars,
out of which tuition is paid, is al-
located for the summer term and
$150 per month is paid during the
year of service in one of the state
institutions. At the end of the year
of placement, the student will qual-
ify for the position of psychiatric
social worker at a salary of $2,450
per year, With this position the de-
partment continues to offer liberal
training leaves with partial pay so
that complete professional train-
ing can b2 obtained within the five
years required for a master's degree
in social work

Students who are interested are
asked to send applications to Miss
Hester B, Crutcher, Director of So-
cial Work, Department of Mental
Hygiene, Governor Alfred E, Smith

York.

even though he says he is not as
spry as he used to be. According to
members of the group, Dr, Stokes is
more limber than the male members
of the cast to whom he taught the
steps.

He has also been called upon to
demonstrate the proper attitude for
prize fighting, and the lost, gentle
art of handkerchief waving. One
complaint that he registered was
that girls these days just don’t seem
to carry handkerchiefs, They didn’t
even have Kleenex to wave.

News Editors
Offer Courses

In Journalism

Classes in journalism, which will
be conducted by the Editor and As-
sociate Editors of the State College
NEWS, will be offered at State af-
ter Easter vacation.

State College is one of the few
colleges which does not offer a
course in newspaper work, The need
for such a course has been felt by
members of the News staff and the
student body for several years. This
will mark the first time such a
course has been offered here.

The classes will be attended vol-
untarily, and will not carry credit.
The material presented will be based
upon actual experience on the
NEWS, and will include fundament-
al principles of makeup, headlines,
and copy.

The purpose of the classes is to
offer practical material in newspa-
ber work, particularly to Seniors
who may be expected to teach jour-
nalism or manage a paper in the
high school in which they teach,
Classes will probably be held once a
week,

Expresses discontent

There is small lightness in my
mood: I am disheartened and ill-
content with this issue of the liter-
ary digest of this college. Nor am I
even faintly amused at the clircu-
lar path 30 precisely being described
about the Maypole; it grieves me to
descry the lack of awareness and
deering-do of my generation. If we
are to have a literary digest, then
let this fact be known. Certainly
there is room for more than the O,
Henry short story, the clever vig-
nette, the plot outline, the soulful
yearnings cascading with sensuous
word nuances, the too-cute doggerel.
Is there a light essay, a serious
commentary on some current of lit-
erary thought, a provocative char-
acter sketch, a dramatic poem, or
a one-act play in this issue of the
Primer? Is there so much as a sug-
gestion of an original form of ex-
pression in the digest? No publica-
tion worth its salt will purposely
sit by and cull only what it can
get from contributors, And no in-
telligent public will subscribe to a
hodgepodge which smacks of self-
pity and editorial bewilderment: the
result being a patchwork quilt which
pleases unly those who have sup-
plied tne patches.

Says depreciation not enough

I say it is not enough to depre-
ciate our own values by crying help-
lessly in the wina that we are young,
and ‘tis the folly of youth to flex
its muscles and defy the world. Let
us have the honesty to admit our
vanities and have done with the
posturing, the hopeless preening of
feathers, the foolish gambol which
leads to Nowhere. Let us pause and
inventory our stock, I for one feel
that such 1 student enterprise as a
literary digest. should have a more
useful end than that of pleasing the
vanity of those student bluestock-
ings who write to please only them-
selves. Why, one would do better to
purchase a hundred self-portraits
and pass them out among one's

Bill To Protect.
Journalist Rights.
: News Employees Jailed

For Refusal To Betray
Source OF Information

Two Newburgh News employees
went to jail last week rather than
betray a confidence. They were held
in contempt of court because they
refused to tell a grand jury where
they obtained “numbers” lottery 'tic-
kets reproduced by their paper, As
@ result newspapers throughout the
state took up the challenge:;and
clamored for legislation. to protect
the ethical standards of newspaper-
men,

Now before the State Legislature
is a bill, proposed by Senator Des-
mond, that would exempt newspa-
permen from revealing their sources
of informetion obtained confident-
fally. Consensus of opinion seems
to favor passage of the bill as, eyi-
denced by a feature article in. last
Wednesday’s edition of the Knicker-
bocker News In that’ issue five
prominent Albanians expressed their
belief in the principle of the Des-
mond bill while a sixth had reser-
vations relating to irresponsible pre-
sentation of the news.

Dr. Theodore G, Standing, Pro-
fessor of Sociology, State College
for Teachers, was quoted as saying
he was heartily in favor of the gen-
eral objective of the Desmond-Mail-
ler bill and “that denial of this
right would tend to discourage the
independent acquisition and dissem-
ination of information so essential
to a free press and an informed
public opinion.”

Proponents of the bill contend
that to inssue a free press news-
papermen must have the right to
present information gained from
confidential sources without betray-
ing that confidence—the same right
now possessed by lawyers, physicians
and ministers, However, confronting
the legislature is the question,
“where to draw the line?” Critics
of the measure believe there ts a
wide gap between the doctor-pa-
tient confidence and the newspaper-
public confidence.

records were made, the exoited chor-
us forgot to sing on cue, and the
record had tobe'made over. ‘Mad
doings at “lead” rehearsals, between
cokes, included a hornpipe danced
by Campbell, Cliase, Mills and Olsen
which was described as all their
own, Also ad bbs, forgotten lines,
and prompting on all sides varied
the script at more than one meet-
ing. The two girls who sing “But-
tercup", (Franks and Hoffman)
soon grew wafy of being pushed by
the captain into the arms of Dick
Deadeye. Why? Because they didn’t
always get caught. Mr. Petersen,
directing the lead singers, filled in
all missing parts from soprano to
bass, And, when the Marines, (la-
dies of the chorus), rushed at Clar-
ence Olsen to seize him according to
the script and all precedents, his
defense was, “Can’t I seize them
instead?” *

peated scenes and long practices,

Sidelines | State Defeats Fitchburg;
Season To End Tomorrow

|__py JACK BROPHY —__

‘The Varsity rings down the cur-
tain on their '47-'48 campaign with
their final two games this week-
end, To date the Statesmen have
copped five of their thirteen con-
tests. Not an enviable record to be
sure, but certainly a far cry from
our mediocre *46-’47 season.

Starting off with wins over No.
Adams State, Plattsburg and Mid-
dlebury, the Purple and Gold hit the
skids and dropped seven in a row,
What threw this ‘winning combina-
tion into a terrific slump all of a
sudden is the $64 question. Tougher
competition? Probably. For the
schedulé was geared to ease the Ca-
gers into their harder games, as all
schedules should be. But whatever
the cause, the Hamilton game mark-
ed the beginning of the slump.
MORE ‘ABOUT HAMILTON

First of all, Jim Coles missed the
bus for Clinton and three regulars
got the “rider's Cramp's” and were
unable to play much at all, The
squad got off the bus and went
right into the game with practically
no warm-up

All this pdded up to a hectic show-
ing and a forty point loss to Ham-
ilton, And the losing streak followed.
Our point js that it takes only one
series’ of bum breaks to throw a
winning combo thto the doldrums
of an extended string of losses.
SHOOK JINK TUESDAY

Whatever the bugaboo was, the
Varsity snook it Tuesday in the
Fitchburgh tit. The Statesmen
clicked for their long-sought after,
slump-breaking win. And they did
it handily, winning 70-56. Tonight
and tomorow, the Cagers will be
out to make it three straight before
closing shop. And North Adams and
Utica better be at their best. For
the Statesmen have found them-
selves,

With the regular intramural bas-
ketball season over, Potter has once
‘again come out on top. Finishing
up an undefeated season with six
wins and no. losses Potter also
swept post-league play.

In the championship game last
Monday Potter, “A” league winner
torpedoed Van Derze, the “B”
league leader by the score of 63-19.
Marty Bortnick paced his team with
19 points; however, Ruback and.
Miller were close behind with 17
and 16 points respectively. The
men of Van Derzee had neither
the height nor the speed to make
the score closer.

This coming Monday night the
basketball tournaments will start,
with the “B” tourney. On that

IGC Delegates
Hold. Discussion :

At Saint Rose

Upon invitation from the Soci-
ology Club of the College of Saint
Rose; a group of Inter-Group Coun-
cil members went to the college
Wednesday night to discuss inter-
group relations. John Jennings ‘49,
acted as general chairman for the
State College group. About thirty
people attended the discussion.

Give Social Distance Test

Barbara Smith, President of the
Sociology Club, called the meeting
to order, after which Peter and
June Youmans '50, gave both the
State College group and the Saint
Rose group a Social Distance test.
‘This test is similar to the one which
was given to the sociology classes
here at State last year. The results
were compared to last year’s test
results and they were found to be
both favorable and similar, The
group broke up into a panel dis-
cussion, the title of which was
“gpheres of Activity in Modern
Group Relations.” Joy Simon '49,
was the first speaker of the evening.
Her topic was “Personal Responsi-
bility” through which she pointed
out that until you understand your-
self you cannot objectively or skill-
tully understand inter-group prob-
lems. Molly Mulligan '50, was the
next speaker, addressing the stu-
dents on racial problems in employ-
ment, Pat Devlin '49, then spoke
on inter-group problems in edu-
cation and discussed strategies used
to cope with them. She also dis-
cussed the Quota System and prac-
tices applicable to classroom usage.
Consluding the program John Jen-
nings discussed the Ives—Quinn
Bill, concerning discrimination in
employment.

To Present Panel Discussion

As a result of Wednesday's dis-
cussion, it was decided that two
Saint Rose delegates would go to
the Troy Y, M. C. A. next Wednes-
day with a group of Inter-Group
Uvuuneil members to take part in a
panel discussion with high school
students. They will use the direct
process method which presents a
problem in a semi-dramatic form
and, allows for a stop at the oli-
matic point in action to ask indi-
viduals thelr reactions,
Begin Work On Seminar

A group of Saint Rose students
will work on a seminar and Com-
munity Project headed by Bob
Hardt '48, and Molly Mulligan '50.
The seminar will include a study of
the problems of the Clinton Square
section. Members working on this
project will go down for personal
interviews and come back to dis-
cuss their findings, working into

Snowballs, Mittens Return
To Campus As Spring Exils

“It winter cometh, can spr-
ing be far behind?” seemed a
little far fetched this week.

Those students who were de-
veloping a good case of spring
fervor saw their shadows and
went back in the moulding for
a few more months. The fresh
green shoots of young grass
that were rearing their beauti-
ful heads, quickly disappeared
under a blanket of that very

common white stuff. Boots,
mufflers, mittens, anti-freeze,
red flannels . . . ‘which had

not seen use for at least three
days, were dragged out respec-
tively.

Snow ball bombardments of
the “Milne Students Revenge”
returned in full swing in front
of Albany High, (NOTE: Prac-
tice teachers please exit through
the back door of Draper.)

Student morale fell with the
snow : . but, cheer up!—you
may get to wear your Easter
outfit yet. (Well, at least the
Long Islanders will.)
