Money Again - - .
The topic of the day seems to be whether or
not we shall add the game of soccer to our roster
of sports. It has been argued that we need a fall
varsity sport, and that we are not ready for foot-
ball to be that sport, not yet, anyway. Maybe in
five or six years—just dreaming—when we'll have
a stadium, maybe. _—
Most people would think soccer was fine, if it
didn’t cost any money. That seems to be the main
stumbling block, Other objections—-coach, sched-
ule, interest, student participation, suitable op-
ponents—these can be taken care of. But nothing
can be done without money granted by Student
Association, and also its approval which is im-
plicit in the granting of money.
Student Board of Finance did not approve the
financial request. Student Council took no action
when the proposal was brought to it.
Confusion has arisen with this request for mon-
ey. Many people are more concerned with the
fact that MAA's budget will be increased by this
addition to it, than by the addition of soccer to
our sports schedule.
A percentage breakup of our budget shows some
interesting distributions of money. Forty per cent
of the budget goes to publications, including the
News, Pedagogue, Primer, and Soapbox, Thirty-
three per cent of the money is spent for athletic
Only five per cent of the budget is spnt on stu-
dent government, including Myskania and Stu-
dent Council. Three per cent goes for publicity
for us and the college, that is, for the Freshman
Handbook and Press Bureau. Campus Commission
and Secretarial, which might be considered ad-
ministration, take two per cent.
It is true that these division:
the percentages are approximate. Many things
could go under more than one category, For ex-
ample, most publications also are publicity agents
for the school, as are varsity sports, D&A, Music
Council and the rest.
One of the basic questions which comes up in
this soccer issue, then, is whether one third of the
budget devoted to athletics is justified in a school
like State, where varsity sports do not receive the
interest and ballyhoo they get in big name col-
leges. We should examine this one third, Only one
fifth of this goes to Wé (Our undergraduate
registration is approximately sixty per cent wo-
men). But, it is true that girls can participate as
spectators in the varsity sports which take most
of the extra money, and WAA uses some MAA
equipment.
Tt seems that we can afford soccer with its $887
present cost, and its probable $600 yearly cost
after this year, One third of the budget is not too
much for athletics. A’ school that is growing as
State is should be able to get for itself things that
will really be good for the students. On the other
hand, we should not hesitate to drop unnecessary
expenses, From year to year, budgets are hardly
ever cut, Many of them could be, without slow-
ing down our progress.
Perhaps, for example, if soccer is passed, Stu-
dent Association might think about dropping in
the future varsity sports such as tennis and golf
which benefit far fewer people, and cost, between
them, $512,

‘The A & ~ Story
By DON MacDONALD
A few weeks ago the Justice De-
partment filed a civil suit under the
Sherman Act to split the grocery
empire of The Atlantic and Pacific
Tea Company into seven independ-
ent chains. If the Department is
successful, they will separate the
sales branches from the manufac-
turing, processing, and wholesale
divisions,
The Government is not denying
the fact that the A & P has sold
more cheaply. Rather, it is charg-
ing that the chain sells more cheap-
ly because it has used its mass pur-
chasing power to force “secret pref-
erential prices and rebates from
suppliers.” As an example, the trust
busters contend that if a supplier
of, say breakfast food, refused to
sell his product to the A & P at a
lower price than to other retailers,
the chain would make its own
breakfast food. The anti-trust law-
yers are also charging A & P’s sub-
sidiary, the Atlantic Commission
Company, with discrimination in
selling. They say the Commission
Company buys up fruit and vege-
tables, resells the best grades to A
& P, and then sells the rest at a
higher price to retailers competing
with the A & P.
A & P is not a monopoly in the
ordinary sense of the word. In the
year 1933 it had 11.6 per cent of the
nation's business, and, according to
the anti-trust lawyers, this had de-
clined to 6.4 per cent in 1948. From
the consumer's viewpoint, the “re-
straint of trade" has taken the
form of price cutting, reduced prof-
it margins by increased volume, and
eliminating costly distributive sys-
tems by mass buying and selling.
These are the very goals for which
the Sherman Act was originally
passed. It 1s not the angry house-
wife, producer, or farmer who has
brought pressure on the Justice De-
partment, for in so doing they
would be harming themselves, On
the contrary it looks as though the
Justice Department is starting the
suit to suppress a relatively new
form of competition,
While the Government was get-
ting things underway, A & P did not
sit idly by, but instead launched a
huge advertising campaign. They
wanted to put their cause before
the consumer—the one who has been
benefiting by their buying and sell-
ing plan.
Large posters and leaflets stating
the stand of A & P were distributed
to all the stores of the chain. They
appealed to the customers to think
Communications
To the Class of '52:
Where's your pep?
Frankly, I'm disappointed in your
vim, vigorous show against the
mighty Devils when they so calmly

about what would happen if the
trust busters were successful,
I am inclined to agree with the
company—namely, when has it be-
come a crime to sell goods to the
consumer at @ reasonable price and
with a maximum of efficiency? Aft-
er all, statistics prove the A & P
does not have a monopoly but,
rather, has brought about some of
the very aims of the Sherman Act.
Whether this vast publicity cam-
paign, which A & P is putting out
to influence the opinions of many
consumers such as myself, will be
of any help in the final result re-
mains to be seen.
It is interesting to note that the
Justice Department won a criminal
suit from the A & P earlier this
year. It was under this same Sher-
man Act. A & P decided against
fighting the case to the Supreme
Court and paid a $175,000 fine in-
stead. Undoubtedly, at least two or
three other large suits will be filed
against chain store organizations if

Capital Campus
By BRADY & LIEPMANN
Since tomorrow is Activities Day,
we would ‘ike to take this oppor-
tunity to semind the freshmen and
upperclassmen y% a comparatively
new organization here on campus:
State College Radio Council.
Radio Council, originally formed
as a Student-Faculty Radio Com-
mittee, was officially re-organized,
complete with its own constitution,
late last year, upon the suggestion
of its student members. The change
was approved by Student Council
and the Council's faculty advisors.
The re-organization was an out-
growth of the need to cope with the
increased demand on campus for
an independent radio council.
It is now ready to undertake its
new task: to serve as an organiza-
tion through which radio programs
can be presented to inform the pub-
lic of college activities which per-
tain both to the college and com-
munity. The second major aim of
Radio Council is to offer State stu-
dents an opportunity for radio work
in script writing. as well as in ac-
tual radio presentation through
speech and dramatics,
Radio Council's two major pro-
jects last year were its weekly radio
programs, “Capital Campus,” which
served as a common outlet for the
efforts of city and campus organ-
fzations which have similar func-
tions, and a regular column in the
News which served to inform State
students of other campus radio ac-
tivities,
The plans for the coming year
include the continuation of both
the radio program and the news-
paper column. The council also of.
fers an opportunity to those inter-
ested to acquire experience in all
Kinds of radio work.
Tomorrow you will find a desk in
the Commons for Radio Council, so
for a year of interesting, profitable
and gratifying work, why not sign
up with Radio Council?

One of the neatest publicity jobs of the year done
by Dave Wetlrerby and Bill Reynolds for the Soccer

ADOPTED
One of the recommendations made by the Class of
‘51 to the Rivalry Committee last year has been
adopted. Under a new Student Council ruling, there
will be a member of Myskenia and a member from
both MAA and WAA at all Rivalry Committee meet-
ings. The class presidents and the Myskania member
will have the power to vote. Could be that this will
eliminate some of the judging problems experienced
last year.
STRINGS
Good connections have proved their worth again.
Mary Margaret McBride will give SCT’s War Memo-
rial a boost on one of her programs in the near future
YOU'RE RIGHT TONY
Tony Pro's prophecy is proving itself. Many thanks
to President Collins for making the Commons avail-
able tomorrow for the Activities Day Program.
"SCUSE PLEEZ
This column last week stated that the MAA budget
would be one half of the total budget with the sos
cer appropriation. The correct figure is approximately
one-third.
IN TRIBUTE
Were certain upperclassmen mourning the arrival
of the frosh last Thursday by wearing red and black
ribbons? According to the best sources, they are
members of a secret educational-social (?) fraternity
GOT AN ASPIRIN?
Your student government is having headaches.
With the new assembly time, our voting procedure
will have to be changed. Considering the time needed
previously for some elections, we wonder what meth-
od could be substituted that would still ensure ev-
eryone of an opportunity to participate in them,
On the brighter side, though, we don’t have a
more assemblies that will run overtime.

State Issues First NEWS
In 1916, Files Available
Thirty-three years ago, girls’
gym suits consisted of black
stockings and enveloping mid-
dies, a woman's suffrage rally
was held at Harmanus Bleecker
hall and the State College News
became a reality!
The work of several planning
years was culminated on Octo-
ber 4, 1916, when, under the edi-
torship of the late Alfred De-
dicke, Alumnus '18, a four page
issue hit the stands.
Tentatively dubbed “The
News,” a contest was announc-
ed to select a name suitable to
State. Among suggestions of
“Couriet Gazette” and “Bu-
gle,” plain “News” won out.
One of the first issues an-
nounced that Miss Mary E.
Cobb had been hired as librari-
an. The library then was in
Room 206 and consisted of most-
ly government documents.
During the third of a century
the News has changed vastly
There are bound copies of past
issues available for reading and
comparison in the P.O.

Miss Skinner appeared at State

famous for her character sketches,
but for her sequences of related
secnes in the proportion of a full
length play. Among the latter, she
us pertormed in “Edna His Wife,"
The Wives of Henry VIII,” “The

opinion on a topic for IGC's week-

Community Colleges, ‘GI’ Rights, Debate Council
Both In Dreams
Among the current plans to bring
higher education in contact with
more people are the plans of the
State Education department to cre-
ate two-year community colleges,
and the program of the National
Students Association to instigate a
“Civilian G. I, Bill of Rights.”
Under the former plan, (partial-
ly outlined to the Junior class
Wednesday afternoon in roox 20)
the state and the community share
original costs of building and from
there on in, the costs would be di-
vided among the state, community
and pupil equally,
The object or this program is
that persons wishing specialized
training could get it near at home
and by commuting, reduce expen-
ses. As yet, no concrete evidence of
this plan is forthcoming,
Last July, a committee was ap-
Pointed from the NSA to seek con-
Bressional approval for Federally
financed scholarships for about
300,000 civilian students.
Grounds for this request are
based on statistics that a 10 per-
cent increase in tuition is expected
this year on top of a 28 percent
rise which has been piling up since
1939. Veteran enrollments are ex-
pected to end by 1956 and Federal
funds appropriated for the G, I.
bill could then be turned over to
needy civilian students,
Any such funds so directed to
aid civilians would be administered

Navy Acquires
Pryor’s Invention
A Representative of the U, 8.
Navy visited State College last
week to obtain details on a Stand-
ing Wave Demonstrator used here
for instructional purposes. Marvin
J. Pryor, Instructor in Physics, is
the inventor of this device, which
is used to instruct physics students
on the nature of standing waves.
Mr. Pryor stated that work in
the perfection of this device star
ed more than ten years ago and
ended in 1944, State Students have
had the use of it since 1945 when
Mr. Pryor became an instructor at
this college,
The Special Devices Center of
the U. S, Navy's Office of Naval
Research first heard of Mr, Pry-
or's device at a special scientific
conference where it was demon-
strated by Dr, Charles L. Andrews,
Profesor of Physics. In need of
such a Standard Wave Demonstra-
tor, the U. S, Naval Academy's
Physics Department requested that
the Special Devices Center furnish
them with one. The Special Device:
Center feels that Mr. Pryor's in-
vention can be of great value in
instructing the cadet midshipmen
at Annapolis,

STATE COLLEGE NEWS, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1949
The Spectator
'___ By ANDY ROSSETTI __!
Once again this week we were
traveling through the halls of State,
but this time with a purpose. We
were informed through the well-
known grapevine that a discussion,
meeting or debate—as you choose—
was taking place in one of the
meeting rooms, We dropped in to
see what was underway and this is
the way things seem to go.
It seems that before the war a
group of people got together and
created a Contingency Fund. This
Fund served the purpose of giving
financial aid to anyone injured
while taking part in an MAA, or
WAA function. As we were inform-
ed this never included rivalry. The
Fund, received its finances from
the surplus in the MAA and WAA
budget each year. The problem en-
countered now is that the once
known surpluses in the MAA and
WAA budgets are no more. There-
fore after the present amount runs
out there seems to be no method at
present to replenish the Fund.
Of course, at present we must not
lose sight of the fact of Kapner
insurance. This | program cov
close to half of the students enroll-
ed at State. Along this line propo-
sals or suggestions have been made
as to securing some method of hav-
ing all students take out this in-
surance.
Well, we have offered no solution
and probably have no legal right to
say what has been said, but just
wanted to add the well-known two
cents and a few facts.
What About Soccer
It does’t matter where you look *
these day", it seems that a ‘proposal
is popping up all over the place.
his proposal has taken the name
“Soccer,” Many students at State
are discussing the merits or de-
merits of having soccer brought into
‘itate’s athletic program on the in-
Leveollegiate level. At present State
is ot nted in the fall in-
tercolte picture. Whether or
not soccer is going to be its fall
sport will probably be decided very
soon,
By way of review let's present
some of the things that are being
discussed at the present time. Some
people are thinking about the cost
cer and the effect it will hav
The answer to this
of so
on the budget
is that
ately $800 raising the MAA budget
to 29"; of the total bud-
rse these figures are just
approximations and we may be
wrong. Other people are discussing
whether cnough people at State
now soccer or are willing to parti-
cipate in the sport. The answer to
the question at present is not
known, but of course, one can tabu-
late the yeas and nays on both
sides, SUI others are wondering if
the injuries that will be incurred in
soccer will have any affect on put-
ting such a program: into. effect
Who will coach or schedule gumes
for the new sport? Once again we
have no. solution to the present
problem but just lo pass ona few
things we have encountered in the
last few days.
Guets Again
Last year we started our competi-
tion with the New York Mirror and
the New York Daily News by offer-
ine a earton of Chesterfields to the
football ¢ e Col each

WAA Starts
Hockey League
Hockey sticks, shin guards, and
girls en masse dotted the dorm
fleld last week as the State girls
began their hockey season, It was
encouraging to see so many inter-
ting people. In fact the turn out
was so large that it was possible
to form four individual teams. As
an added feature last Wednesday
night, a knight in shining Gamma
Kap armor, preceeded by a trum-
peter, charged into the hallowed
halls of BZ to challenge these ath-
letic femmes to a game of hockey.
After the details of the contest
were agreed upon, the knight's
horse swished his tail, and the wierd
trio rode off into the night.
At the last council meeting fur-
ther plans were made for the forth-
coming conference, the New York
State Federation of College WAA.
The conference will be held here
at State December 9-11. Approxi-
mately thirty colleges are planning
to attend this event. The purpose
of the convention is to promote a
strong feeling of unity between the
various athletic associations in New
York State colleges. Last year three
delegates were sent to Syracuse
from State and these representa-
tives realized how important con-
ferences are in furthering inter-
collegiate relations.
Now, a last minute reminder for
the frosh—if you want that “all-
round" outdoor look, sign up for
WAA on activities day

Frosh Defeat Myskania
In Battle Of Century
The tin-constructed Myskan-
ja terrors were defeated by a
score of 4 to 2 on the dorm
field Wednesday when the giant
Redwoods sliced practically ev-
ery blue-blood. “Happy Hips"
Noonan insisted on playing with
a_ cigarette gin her mouth.
“Dimples” Dtmbleton enjoyed
air since he had difficulty see-
ing without his glasses. The
“Golden super-woman” Adams
was ready to retire after ten
minutes of play, and “Tobac-
co” Rhoda Riber struck at any-
thing from grass to earth-
worms. “Sexy toes” Lievestro
kept his toes shining despite
the flying debris while “I'll
drown you in ink” Wiltse
downed ref Bill Reynolds with
a line-drive. “Keep away from
me I'm married now" Holliday
proved a terror to the frosh,
and “Beauty babe” Thompson
stopped the frosh cold. “I was
brought up in a glue factory”
Koch tangled with a few more
players.
The help of “Let's stick to
parliamentary procedures” Jab-
lon, “Daddy long-legs” Jones,
“Do or die" Webber, and “I can
run even if I am_ bowlegged”
Prochillo might have contrib-
uted much to the defeated
Myskania.
Waa-Hoo
By PAT JAI
After all the controversy about
the solely female excursion to West
Point on the twenty-ninth of Octo-
ber, the trip has been formally call-
ed olf because of lack of interest.
Campus Day activities might be
largely responsible for the failure
of the girls to sign up.
Attention, class of 1950! Last
week a challenge was printed in
the State College News from ‘51 to
the grand ‘ole Seniors: Have you
ull gone off campus to do your
practice teaching? Certainly the
participation you showed last year
in intramural hockey has decreased
a great deal, ‘51 already has its war
paint on—how about it, Seniors, are
you willing to accept the challenge?
and Sports Program
pansion of the sports program
long been one of the most
iseworthy principles of our Ath-
¢ Association. This year several
e been initiated that bear
mention here. Have you noticed the
attractive bulletin board in lower
Draper near the women’s locker
room? Lois Prescott is responsible
for the artistic ingement, and
she has posted rules for putting up
appropriate notices. It is hoped
that the bulletin board may con-
tinue to be as “eye-catching” as it
has been in the first weeks this
the WAA! What is it? All of
the girls who attended the frosh
reveption last week end on the dorm
field were given a copy of the newly
organized official newspaper — of
WAA. Ann Lee Bradshaw, the
tor, stated the aims of the pap
her first editorial, She states:
shall endeavor to give you coverage
en all important affairs of WAA,
but the most important aim of this
raper ix to give you, the members
of WAA, a voice in its operation!
Organize Volleyball
Volleyball has long been a see-
ondary sport here at Slate, Sched-
uled pructices and games have pre-
viously been changed to make room
for more important events, and last
year even the rivalry game was al-
most cancelled, This year under the
initiative of the captains, Babe Pat-
terson and Sophie Dwyan, a volley-
bull ue has been organized for
Wednesday games in the gym.
Sayles and Pierce have already be-
come interested) by forming three
teams each. ‘There is always room

Fersh Badly Hurt
As KB Loses
Intramural football has started
and as usual there is the first week's
confusion. But outside of the in-
jury suffered by Sy Fersh the sea-
son seems off to a good start.
Last year's champ, Potter, won
its first game by taking KB 21-0,
The Suspenders, Angels, Finks,
KDR, and the Whiskers all won
their opening games,
On Monday KDR opened the
eason against the Rocks and had
very little trouble in scoring a 21-
0 victory. Bill Wiley and Bob Haus-
ner did the running and passing,
while Dunn, Durkee, and Stephen-
son were on the receiving end. Scor-
ing late in the second quarter on
a pass to Stephenson, KDR took a
7-0 lead as Brophy scored the ex-
tra point, Hausner scored on a line
buck and Durkee caught a pass to
make the score 14-0 as the third
quarter was under way, A costly
Rock fumble recovered by Clark
made the score 20-0 and Durkee
once again made the extra point.
Fersh Hurt
KB had the costliest loss of the
early season as Sy Fersh broke his
shoulder bone while blocked out of
a play near the end of the KB
versus Potter game.
Potter scored twice in the first
period with Warden and Eich scor-
ing the touchdowns. Jim scored the
first on an end run and Carter hit
Marks with a pass for the extra
point. After an exchange of the
ball, Eich, behind excellent block-
ing, crossed into the end zone for
the second score. Carter passed to
Eich for the extra point.
The sccond and third quarters
were deadlocked with both sides
howing spurts of power. However,
it wasa't until the last quarter that
either team could do anything.
Warden went off on a long end run
and with the ald of his blockers,
scored the final points.
Suspenders Take To Air
Taking to the airthe Suspende:
downed the gallant frosh team by
the count of 12-0, All the scoring
was done on passes by George to
O'Brien. The Suspenders had trou-
ble getting started in the first half
and the frosh threatened to score
on them as Jacobson intercepted a
pass and ran it back to the Sus-
pender 19 yard line, However, (he
defense dug in and fought off the
attack,
In ihe second half, George start-
ed to nit with his passes, and twice
O'Brien crossed pay dirt with the
ball as a result of George's marks-
muanship,
Wednesday saw tne Angels
the Beavers in the closest game so
far, 6-0. A last quarter score on a
Brown to Burns pass gave the An-
gels a hard fought for victory. With
Brown doing the passing, the An-
gels completed nine out of twenty-
two for about 63 yards, The Bea-
vers intercepted three, Champlain
completed 6 out of 17 tosses for the
losers while 6 were intercepted by
the Angels
Angels Dominate Play
The same started off with the
Angels dominating the play al-
though they could not get too far
into Beaver territory, Th facet the
Beavers only ran through 4. plays
in the first quarter, Near the end
of the half, the Beavers with the
aid of several interceptions began
to move, but they failed to do any
damage. However, Brown's passing
and the fine kicking of Adamo
eventually put the Angels into
‘oring position, With half of the
last quarter gone, Brown saw Burns
clear in the end zone and they
had six points and the ball game,
The Finks downed the Devils 26-
0 scoring 19 points in the closing
minutes after the hard fighting
Devil team finally weakened, Frank
Fay passing to Buddy Moore put
the Finks out in front early in the
first period and they were never in
trouble after that,
On Monday the Whiskers took on
and defeated the Bulls 8-0,

Anonymous Letter- Writer
Remember those threatening
letters postmarked “Seattle”
that “potential old maids” at
State received last year?
A spokesman for the Postal
Inspector has armounced that
the source of the flood of anon-
ymous letters sent to various
teachers’ colleges throughout
tne country urging students to
give up the profession and ridi-
culing teachers has been found.
Sorry to disappoint all those
who imagined they were the vic-
tims of some Communist hoax,
but according to the postal au-
thorities, no trace of Commun-
ist backing has been found.
It’s all a big secret just who
the individual was who was re-
sponsible for sending State Ed,
10 classes into gales of hyster-
ical and maybe apprehensive
laughter at the reading of the
threats to future teachers of
America.
Since the enrollment hasn't
dropped, the letters must have
flopped!

Plans For Year
French Club will hold its first

for the year have been announced.
According to William Kirman '52,
President, all sacetings this year
will be conducted eutirelv in French.
A sitais les Wid Oe 2SDh 1h One cor-
ner of the room, Kirman says, Into
whica ali wao violate this custom

Activities planned for this year
include lectures, skits, games, sing-
ing of popular and folk songs from
France and Canada, and presenta-
tion of a one act play.
An excursion to some place of
general interest has been tentative-
ly slated, Kirman states, and the
possibility of organizing a “Table

conversing in French will be the
keynote is being considered.
Refreshments will be served at
the meetings.
In Review
“Home of the Brave” at the Al-
bany Institute of sustory and art
last Friaay and Saturday nights
was a bola stroke against festering
anti-Semitism. Changed from the
movie theme which dealt with Ne-
gro prejudice, it stripped all shreds
of pretension from a vital Ameri-
can problem,
It's one great lack is that of a
sequel to complete the story of the
private who finds he is “the same
48 everyone else” after an agony
ui wavering sanity induced by this
feeling of inferiority instilled since
vitth.
Sponsored by the Albany Branch
of the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People,
aud adapted from the original play
by Arthur Laurents, the play was
cast from members of the Albany
Dramatic Group.
State College was represented by
Herbert Holland '52, who portrayed
the role of Finch, an Army engin-
eer, who with his buddies, maps ou
an atol infested with 15,000 Japs.
Though Holland got shot in the
second act, his performance was
highly commendable.

cide some 30C performances in 34
states
The bare facts make it seem that
the cast is basking in the p of
luxury, but there certainly were
plenty of snags in inst year’s tour.
For instance, at one college the
company had to play “Macbeth” in
a converted B-29 hangar, without
stage, proscenium, or dressing
rooms, Even the washing ilities
were half way across the campus in
the Music building, The back and
side curtains were composed of
pieces of material, strung, nailed
or pinned together somehow, At va-
rious intervals during the perform-
ance, the audience caught generous
glimpses of the Thanes of Scotland
in various stages of undress, with
their costumes laying on the earth-
en floor because there just was no
place to hang them. And we com-
plain about our State College stage
and facilities!
Admission to the plays is dirt
cheap, In fact, its absolutely free
to one performance if you have
your Student Tax. ticket. However.
if you happen to want tu see both
