‘dministvétion Endorses Plan

FO FORM BASKETBALL SQUAD

or Contacting High School Men

1 hinsky, Woodworth,
Vaughn’ Weber Guide

‘The proposed plan to increase the
male enrollment at State College has
‘aroused a great deal of curiosity as
well ag ridicule. Therefore, the pur-
pose in writing this article is to bet-
ter acquaint you with the plan and
to enlist your aid in making the
venture successful.

Plan For Publicity ic
Our plan is to send letters to re-
cent graduates of State who were
prominent here and are interested in
the welfare of the college, Many of
these Alumni are teaching in the sec-
ondary schools of the state from
which we draw many of our students,

These letters will be in the mail
by the end of this week. The Alumni
will bring State College to the atten-
tion of prospective freshmen before
the Intreviewing Board meets in key
cities of the State. By sending these
letters to our Alumni, more can be
accomplished than if the Principals
of different high schools were con-
tacted, In this way the letters won't
be thrown in wastepaper baskets and
forgotten.

What To Do

Your part in supporting this plan
is personally to encourage high
school seniors in your own home
town who are undecided about their
choice of a college. We are author-
ized to make it known that students
with a Regents average of 85% may
be eligible for admission and these
people are encouraged to write for
an application blank. We are espec-
jally interested in athletes or those
who had experience in that line, For
them State College offers an excel-
lent opportunity to further their
athletic interests under the new pro-
posal,

Ground work

We decided that we should first
consult Dr, Sayles, Dr, Nelson, Dr,
Dorwaldt, Dean Stokes and other
key faculty members to seek advice
and endorsement before going ahead.
‘This we have been able to do, and we
are glad to say that we enjoy full
support from the Administration,
Now our problem is to convince you,
the students of State College, that
we have something worthwhile, and
to gain your support in this imme-
diate undertaking.

We realize that the male enroll-
ment has slumped, due mainly to the
war, but we feel that State in the
past .has not enjoyed enough pub-
licity in the secondary schools of
New York State, In short, we have
had nothing to offer prospective
freshmen in comparison to the fea
tures that we are now in a position
to publicize, The new $500,000
gym and athletic field will be com-
pleted as soon as the building sup-
plies can be released from govern-
ment contracts. A complete line of
athletic supplies will be purchased
and State will once more be on an
intercollegiate athletic basis. Next
year we hope to schedule a limited
basketball season with neighboring
colleges who enjoy approximately
the same male enrollment that State
now has,

In Conclusion

We sincerely feel that our plan will
be successful and we are willing to
put the necessary time and effort on
it to achieve our ultimate goal, We
ask your enthusiasm and coopera-
tion to put State College on the map
to stay,

Rivalry Classes
Compete Today
In Softball Clash

This afternoon at 3:30 the Sopho-
more and freshmen softball teams
will once again try to boost their
respective classes in rivalry. This is
the first scheduled softball game ta.
be played this year, and it promises
to be a real thriller.

The freshmen loom as a real
threat to the experienced Gremlins,
From watching both teams practice,
it is impossible to tell which has the
edge. Both teams are very evenly
matched, Diehl and Tilden are the
most powerful hitters for '48, while
Baker and Margot seem to be on
the ball for '47,

Freshmen

Looking over the teams individu-
ally, the frosh lineup first—either
Lengyel or Archito are probabilities
for pitchers. Valentine, Maginess,
and Shapiro are all veterans of the
fleld and promise to look more than
good from the sidelines. Boynton
(of basketball fame), Young and Os-
borne are other prospects for ‘48,
However, this is only tentative as
anything could happen, There's lots
of hidden talent around and many
48ers hitherto undiscovered will put
in an appearance.
Vs. Sophomores

Now for '47—the first and only
bad thing is the loss of Russo who
was a powerful hitter last year.
Nielson, Sweeney and Davidson
from last year are still going strong.
Positions on the ’47 team have not
been announced at present, but it
looks as though either - Silvernail,
Day or Telian will pitch—O’Grady,
Doran and Wakin are all strong hit-
ters and are more than efficient in
the field.

Swimming Meet Wednesday

Week-ends at Camp Johnston will
be scheduled later on. Times will be
posted on the WAA bulletin board.

The rivalry swim meet, scheduled
to be played this week, was again
postponed. The play-off will take
place Wednesday evening, 7:30, at
the Public Bath number three on
Central and Ontario, Those intend-

ing to participate, are asked to be +,

there by 7:15. The teams would ap-
preciate it if all those who are able
would come to cheer,

Phi Delta Wins
Bowling Title

The bowling championship was
decided as Phi Delt triumphed over
KD in one of the closest matches of
the season Tuesdays afternoon at
the Paladium, The final score re-
suited in a 635-602 lead for the Phi-
Delt team,

One Pin Game

The first game revealed how even-
ly matched these two squads were
as KD emerged victorious with the
score 717 to 716.. Trudy Smith was
high scorer with 159 and Skinner,
Seymour and Glevin were just a pin
behind. It was a tense game with
the final outcome questionable un-
til the last frame.

Scores Slump

Both teams were eager to win the
second contest and in their deter-
mination lost the sure, steady bowl-
ing that had characterized the earl-
jer game. The team scoi fell so
noticeably that there was almost a
hundred pinnage difference in the

ult, The most outstanding
in individual scores were
and Crumm who were
high scorers for their teams.

Tuesday’s game was necessary
decide the final championship.

The individual scores for both
games are as follow:

PHI DELT First Second Total

In answer to popular demand—all
four names will be furnished on re-
quest —we return to fourth page
where we may continue to dispense
our gems of wisdom uninhibited. It
is good to be back—especially when
we realize that there are only three
mere issues of the NEWS in which
we may inflict our particular brand
of torture on an unsuspecting public.
With the end of the year and of our
college career in sight, we fight back
an impulse to reminisce—but decide
to save that for a later date.

WAA voting, of course, belongs to
history. Officers for the coming year
were decided in yesterday's election.
From the looks of the ballot a lively,
interested group of gals was up for
the various offices. As we see it,
WAA can't go wrong next year. We
particularly want to compliment
WAA on the passage of an amend-
ment to its constitution providing
that president and vice-president be
listed on the same ballot. The girl
receiving the larger number of votes
will be president, second highest,
vice-president. In this way, a girl
who has worked for WAA three
years is not dropped in her senior
year because she happens to be elim-
inated in the contest for the presi-
dency. It is an effective method of
insuring continuation of interest in
the organization and of keeping good
people within the set-up.

Speaking of history brings to mind
the tennis tournament. If memory
serves us correctly, there is one
mateh left to decide the winner
of the trophy. A tennis champ

would be a nice thing to have
around school, Here’s hoping
that the weather clears up, the ten-
nis courts open and both contes-
tants remain in good health.

Seniors Recall “Famous Firsts”

As Last Year Draws

Next week the “grand old Seniors”
will advance to the safety of the
wide, wide world in the best Moving
Up Day tradition, Recorded on the
pages of the Srate Coutece News
for the past four years are stories
of famous first which will earn the
Class of ‘45 a high place in the
history cf the school.

The Crimson Tide first burst upon
State in September of 1941 anu
went the way of all freshmen. Tney
went to Frosh Camp, attended
smokers and open houses, and
were orientated every Monday in
the usual way. Nora Giavelli
brought forth a torrent of praise
and wrath when she—a mere fresh
and a woman to boot—went out
for the varsity tennis team, Flo
Garfall gained fame that year as
the first woman frosh president in
twelve y

The orutorical powers of the
class bec: evident when three
frosh successfuly upheld the af-
firmative in a debate with the
Sophs

And 1941 was the year that
Eleanor MHayslip gained further
glory for her class by accumulating
the staggering total of six A’s for
the first semester.

The n September found the
Cli of '45, now hardened veterans,
playing host to a new group of
frosh. With all the practice gained
the year before, ‘45 led in rivalry
all the way and gained an easy vic-
tory. Hal Goldstein and Kippy

‘sh, other famous members of a
famous ciass, will long be remem-
bered as the authors of many of
the Sophomore skits that year.

But all activities took second plac:
to the war. Men who had enlisted
in the reserve corps were bein3
called for active service, and the
ratio of three women to one mcn
soared upward rapidly. Ever
went all-out for War Activities, and

Weinberg, Hardt
Plan New Ballot

The subject slated for discussion
this week by the Constitutional
Committee has been announced by
Gerhard Weinberg, '47, chairman of
the commission, as the Preferential
Voting System. This will be one
of the last major discussions.

According to Weinberg the com-
mittee will seek to correct two out-
standing flaws which the committee
feels ex.st in the application of the
system now in use, These difficul-
ties occur chiefly in plural voting
when more than one person has to
be elected for the same office. The
first difficulty lies in the distribu-
tion of the surplus, since in the
present system only those votes
which are over the quota when a
candidate has been elected are re-
distributed.

This leads to a second difficulty
since in a recounting of ballots it
would be possible that a different
portion of the surplus might be re-
distributed and in a very small
number of cases might make a dif-
ference in the candidate chosen.

A correction of these flaws has
been suggested by Weinberg and by
Bob Hardt, ‘48, who have been work-
ing on this portion of the Consti-
tution. The most recent plan work-
ed out eliminates more than one
distribution so that it will improve
the single voting procedure in addi-
tion to correcting the plural voting
difficulties. In the proposed sys-
tem the ballot would be marked
with as many first choices as there
are candidates to be elected for
that office. The remaining candi-
date would be marked preferenti-
ally as before. In counting the bal-
lots a system of points would be as-
signed to each candidate so that a
candidate would receive the same
number of points as the number
marked before his name,

His points would be added and the
number of candidates to be elected
would be chosen on the basis of the
lowest number of points, In case

To Close:

‘45 established another “first” by
voting to give up plans for the
annual Sophomore Soiree,

Rivalry was now over for ’45, but
the new Juniors still maintained a
full program of activities. The Class
of ‘47 was welcomed by its “big
sister” with a genuine Kentucky
Mountain musical in Page.

In spite of all this activity, however,
it was the Class of '45 which led the
Dean's List at the end of the first
semester! Dr. Louis Jones, State's
own authority on spooks and haunts,
spoke at the Junior Banquet of the
“Ghosts of '45"—men from the class
who were scattered over the entire
glote in the service of their country,

But ‘45 had a reputation to main-
tain, and they again led the way as
the first class to crown a May
Queen. Eunice Wood was the choice
of the school, and she reigned su-
preme during the Junior Big 10.

Cn the more serious side of the
ledger, the entire class is proud to
share with '44 the honor of starting
plans for the Student Union which
will scon be a reality, And it was,
Cecile Goldberger who last year in-
stigated plans for the reorganized
Student Council which we now
have,

The Class of ‘45 began their
Senior year with an old-fashioned
Minstrel Show—and with no cur-
tain on the stage! Out-doing all
former feats, the Crimson Tide
made history by presenting the

chool with its first all-women
Myskenia, The Seniors are going
for Stucen; Union,

A class such as this can never be
forgotcen by those who have & sown
ihem and wor them, Next
Friday the Seniors will move up
from S.ate, but they will nevet
really move out.

Three State Religious Clubs
Plan Joint Picnic At Dorm

Hey, Joe, have you signed up
yet? For what? Where have you
been this past week? For the pic-
nic that the Religious Clubs are
throwing at the Dorm Field on
May 15—natch.’

There won't be any invocation
at the beginning or benediction
at the end either. Fun, and plea-
sure will be the motif—strictly.
So everyone is invited—that is,
practically everyone. There is one
prerequisite which may elimin-
ate a few people—one must have
the grand total of 15 cents. This
is simply to cover the expenses
of food, publicity, entertainment
and all the other things which
may be used to attract crowds of
people.

From 5:30 to 8:00 P.M., the
wanning hours of the day, twi-
light time, etc., there will be food,
fun, and festivities for all who at-
tend the Religious Clubs picnic.

Juniors Will Present
Last In Big 8 Series

The Junior class will present the
final program of the Big Eight
series with its muusical production,
“Through the Years,” on May 10.
This history of musical entertain-
ment from 1885 until the present
time will begin at 8:30 P.M. in
Page Hall, Marion Buetow, '45, has
written and is directing the entire
production,

The crowning of the May Queen
also a feature of the Junior Week-
end, will not be a part of the Big
8 program, No definite plans for
the coronation have yet been form-
wated,

The musical will feature small
group choruses and several soloists,
James Crandell, Susan Yager, Ag-
nes Young, Peggy Casey and Joyce
MacDonald,

Committee heads include ‘Toni
O'Brien, chorus and dancing; Mic-
key Nayy, musical arrangements,

Final Activities

Class Night To Close
College Career OF '45

The traditional Moving-Up Day
exercises and a Senior Weekend
fron: June 15 to 18 will feature the
activities of the Class of '45 for the
remaining weeks of school. Joan
Smith, 45, class president, has an-
nounced a general schedule for the
period,

he main event on Moving Up

Day will be the presentation of the
Ivy Speaker, Martha Joyce. A class
banquet at Jack's Restaurant will
open the Senior Weekend on Fri-
day, June 15. Guests will be Dr,
and Mrs, J. Alan Hicks, Dr, and
Mrs. Louis Jones, Dr. Margaret
Hayes, Dr, Watt Stewart, and Dr.
Matie Green. Entertainment will be
given during the evening.
Class Day

Saturday, June 16, is designated
as Class Day, The first event on the
program is a skit written by Edna
Marsh and Ruth Fine, Seniors. The
basis of the plot is a recollection of
the time when the men of '45 were
here at State and then a panoramic
view of the places where they are
now. The various acts, each repre-
senting a different country, will be
set in such places as Hawaii, France
and Italy. The skit will close with
the chorus singing three numbers—
“My Heart Stood Still,” “There's a
Long, Long Trail Awinding,” and an
arrangement by Martha Sprenger of
A new song “The Weary Road" writ-
ten by Miss Marsh,

Torchlight Service

This will be followed by the class
historian, Gertrude Yanowitz; class
poet, Ruth Fine; and class prophet,
Edna Marsh. In the evening the
traditional Torchlight Service will
be held in front of Draper,

As the service begins the Seniors
march out of Page Hall carrying
their torches. Each torch is lit as
the person comes out of the door,
and on the steps the torch bearers
join their Seniors. The group pro-
ceeds to the Page Hall lawn, and
the Class of ‘45 is officially welcom-
ed into the Alumni Association by
the president of the organization,
This is symbolized by a large torch
presented to Joan Smith, class pres-
ident. At this time the Seniors
hand their torches to the bearers,
while the group sings “Follow the
Gleam.” As the procession moves
off the torches are extinguished one
by one,

Committee Of 15
Outlines Program

The Inter-Group Council, a stu-
dent faculty committee recently or-
ganized to offer opportunities for
culture contact and understanding
‘among members of every race and
nationality in the college and in
the community, today will apply for
its initial budget appropriation from
the Student Association,

At present there are ten students
and six faculty members comprising
the executive board. Student mem-
bers are Edna Marsh, Joan Groden,
and Fleanor Hayeslip, Seniors, Shir-
ley Passow, Helen Slack Schure and
Marion Carter, Juniors, Celena Ax-
elrod and Kay Hagerty, Sophomores,
and Phyllis Witt Penn and Sue
O'Connell, freshmen, Faculty mem-
bers are Louis ©. Jones, Dr, Stand-
ing, Miss Mary E, Conklin, Dr. Watt.
Stewart, Dr. Allan J, Hicks and’Miss
Margaret Hayes. Membership in the
Council is open to ail students in-
terested in working on one of the
five standing committees.

In February, a group of students
who recognized the growing empha-
sis on inter-group cooperation met
with several faculty members to
plan the best method to put these
ideas into best equipped to carry out.
and to find out what local, civic and
national organizations it could co-
operate with in the most beneficial
way. Dr, LeRoy Bowman Jr, direc-
tor of adult education in New York
State, suggested that the council
meet with local culture groups and
exchange ideas. He also recom-
mended channeling of democratic
principles through cirriculum of the
college, The council has contacted
as many Albany organizations as
possible and also certain nattiorial
organizations, since one purpose of
the organization is to bring State
College into a closer cooperation
with these organizations which work
for democratic, principles,

Following this a tea was held at
Sayles Hall for Langston Hughes,
prominent Negro author and poet,
Shortly after, the State College
group wrote to Majority Leader Ir-
ving Ives asking how State College
could help supplement the educa-
tional provisions of the bill, Mr.
Ives congratulated the college group
for its awareness of the need for
public education and stated that the
students would be called upon when
proper machinery has been estab-
lished.

The committee itself will be open
to membership by every interested
member of the college, A central
committee has been set up in the
constitution which will carry out the
executive and legislative duties of
the group. This committee is com-
posed of fifteen people representing
every class and incorporating as
many races and religions as it can,
Seniors members of the Council will
be replaced by election of the
Council from those people who have
show the most interest in the work
of the society, The Council will
also take into consideration the
afore-mentioned composition of the
committee practice,

Provision is also made in the Con~
stitution for rotation every year of
the faculty that the same six mem-
bers will not compose the faculty
section of the group, Students who
join the organization will work on
one of the five standing committees,

The committee has contacted the
Faculty Committee appointed by Dr,
John M. Sayles, President of the
College, since it was felt the two
organizations were working for many
of the same aims.

The committee has extensive plans
to set in operation next year, Sev-
eral speakers will be brought to the
school, some in classes, some in small
groups, and others for the college
as a whole, The committeo will at-
tempt to channel as many of its ace
tivities as possible,

in your point of view; in your growth and in your
~ progfess. These have been trying years and HAY
“interruptions have come into your world whici
would have been a world of happiness, Someone
has said, “This is a lost generation.” But no gen-
eration is lost which has a job ahead of it. The work
which is challenging you is the work of a new world;
a work of democracy; a work of responsibility of

tremendous size faces you of this life.
_ Democracy is a gift. You may not have thought
of it in this particular way. It is a gift of the peo-
ple to themselves. It is you and me who create
this democracy—produce the ideals and type of
government which we desire. This is going to re-
quire trained thinking which is going to demand
self discipline. Self discipline comes from within
and not from without. It is the wish of all our
hearts and minds; it demands strength of char-
acter and as we, a trained group, exercise this self
discipline we shall help produce this kind of life.
That is the challenge to you, the members, of

this senior class,

John M., Sayles, President

Funny thing, I catch myself smiling at more

people lately. And still more often I’m caught with ,
my memory down, Faces beam friendship at me —

. .. with features somehow familiar . . . and I’m
ashamed to find out that they, too, are '45,

All of a sudden I want to know all of them bet-
ter, and find myself asking almost-perfect-strangers
(people I never even bothered for the time last
month) terribly personal questions like “How much
money you getting next year?” or even “Why don’t
you get married instead?” . . . and getting a decent
answer instead of the slap in the’ face I deserve.

Sure, we're all-sick of studying. We can’t wait
to graduate, so that we can dish it out for a change
. .. But once in a while we catch ourselves thinking
a little fondly of the poetry course we meant to
take, or the early lit class we wish we hadn’t slept
through,

It'll pass, I guess, We'll slip back into the im-
portance of our own everyday matters, and the re-
grets won’t matter so much as time goes by. But
not till way after June.

Teddy Fine, '45

1945 has been far from a dead and listless class;
it seems to muster up an overwhelming spirit, a slap-
happy skit, or a “Big 8” in a few hours. And re-
member the hilarity of putting on the great pro-
ductions by Kippy and the “Immortal Yo Yo.”

It was a member of ’45 who suggested the en-
larging of Student Council which took over this
year, Most important is their contributions to States
place among other colleges, Council attended three
conventions; became acquainted with other col-
leges and has started to establish State as a leader
in Student Government in the eyes of the Colleges
of the State.

Take pride, ’45, that our members were responsi-
ble for initiating and setting up a plan for a Stu-
dent Union Fund, and we are augmenting this fund
as we leave the surplus of our treasury to it.

Our responsibility and affection for State Col-
lege should grow rather than diminish as we grad-
uate—Let us make our final exercises the best ever,
let us pledge 100% to the Student Union Fund,

Florence Garfall, '45

Let’s all get together and cheer the class ,
of '45, for it is the class we love so well—i .
class from which we have gained lasting friend-

STATE COLLEGE NEWS, FRIDAY, MAY 4, 1945

Talking Turkey...

By MICHAEL

It is the policy of the State Col-
lege News to review the theatre as
produced on the Page Hall boards,
and this, for the record, is a re-
view. Last Friday night’s fiasco,
however, could hardly be regarded
as theatre though buried under that
pretense.

Patrick Hamilton's Angel Street
survived Broadway's storybook
whimsy and blurbed its way to the
smash line on a wave of applause,
spot deficiencies in the script put-
tied in by the adept acting of Leo
G. Carroll and Judith Evelyn. For
the melodrama's punch lies in the
two protagonistic forces, Inspector
Rough and Bella Manningham.

The Wee Theatre’s production of
Mr. Hamilton’s story of gaslit New
York (Revised from its original
London setting) was indeed a sad
apple. One may generalize and lay
ciaim to its many flaws in the one
charge, stiff acting, a coverall for
major and minor theatrical crimes,
and one for which the size of a
stage is not to blame.

Charles Leo Miller, as Inspector
Rough, the detective with a twinkle
In his eye, twinkled a bit too much
and thereby lost a flow of audience
response. He was out of character
a great deal of the time, changing
his walk and the quality of his
voice at intervals. In spite of this,
nevertheless, it must be admitted
that Mr. Miller provided the few
refreshing moments to be found be-
fore the footlights that evening.

For Robert Johnson's Jack Mann-
ingham, not much can be said. He,
as both actor and director, appar-
ently forgct that a change of pace
in the play, especially in almost the
balance of the first act, depends
heavily on voice inflection, volume
and speed. As a result, it dragged
considerably. Mr. Johnson also dis-
regarded convention in the misuse
of his downstage foot in walking,
and crossing in front of an actor
doing a long line, unforgivable sins
that even an Elementary Dramatics
student would hesitate to commit
before the most unobservant audi-
ence. And his gestures, which were

infrequent, were artificial.
Suggest that Mr. Johnson's future
wardrobes be pocketless,

Bella Manningham, portrayed by
Annette Johnson, follows a similar
pattern. It was a high-pitched,
over-emotional Bella that was seen
in her interpretation, When one
savors the memory of Judith Eve-
lyn and Ingrid Bergman as the
phycho-neurotic, in a performance of
suspended restraint that made the
emotionalism outstandingly _real
and plausible, it is with distaste
that one thinks of the hysterics
oe of Mrs. Johnson. It was ter-
r.ble,

About the other two members of
the cast, the same is true. Eliza-
beth, the housekeeper (I forgot the
neme cf the woman who played the
part) was synthetic, especially in
the scene where she spied the blank
space on the wall where the miss-
ing picture belonged. And Ellen
Fay, as the maid, turned in a flaw-
less job of overacting.

Yawn.

“Grem Cafe” Ts Raise
War Activity Funds

Dancing, Coke Bar, Bridge
Will Provide Entertament

The Grem Cafe, sponsored by the
Sophomore Class, will hold its
opening night celebration in the
Commons this evening at 8:00 P.M.
Lorna Kunz, ‘47, chairman of
Sophomore war activities, is in
charge of the event.

Dancing, bridge, and entertain-
ment will be enjoyed throughout the
evening with floor shows starting
at 8:45 P.M., 10:00 P.M., and 11:15
P.M. Betty Brennan, chairman of
the entertainment committee, will
direct these shows with George
Hess acting as master of ceremonies.
Two wandering fortune tellers dis-
guised as Swami and Balmy prom-
fse to be available throughout the
avening to reveal the patrons’ pasts.

Prominent performers from the
Sophomore Big Eight and_ the
Sayles Hall Canteen have offered
their talent for the cafe shows.
Eleanor Binn will render a novelty
selection “Nobody Makes A Pass
At Me” while Muriel Reubin is
slated to sing that memorable song
“Temptation.” The unforgettable
Can-Can girls, Julie Collier, Judy
Dube, Janet Inglehart, Gertrude
Smith, Celina Axelrod and Carol
Berg will once again make their de~
but with a clever dance routine.
Spike Silvernail will also include a
few appropriate selections and a
background of boogie woogie music
will be prevalent during intermit-
ting performances.

Miss Kunz announces that “sev-
eral hostesses and waitresses have
been procured to give special serv-
ice to all students.” The Sopho-

Library For Rhoads Hospital Possible Use

As the '44-'45 series of Big Eights
draws to a close with the Junior
Production on May 19, the problem
arises as to the expenditure of pro-
fits gained, Today in assembly each
vote cast will be a determining f
tor in the allocation of approxim:
ately $1800 to one of the three major
possibilities, Since the Big Eights
were instituted in State as the col-
lege's biggest single war effort, all
three are, of course, “war-minded,”
but in varying degrees.

For example, number one provides
that the money be invested in a War
Bond which, on maturity, will be
handed over to the Student Union
Pund. If this action is decided
upon, the money will be an added
source to the regular Student Union
Budget as set up last yeur. At thal
lime the expenditure of the profits
of the Big Bights was not decided
upon; such expenditure was to be
left to the discretion of the student
body of each suceceding year,

Another possibility is giving $1000
to Rhoads Army General Hospital
for a library and the remainder to
the Student Union. At first glance
this seems the most advantageous
to all parties concerned. After fur-
ther consideration it is obvious that
this plan too has a strong loop-
hole. A beautifully furnished li-
brary is worth little unless it is
well provided with books, The ten-
tative cost of furnishing the library

By B. J. McGRATH, O'BRIEN
is $1,000, Therefore, under this plan
there would be no money left for
the purchase of books.

‘The final possibility is perhaps
the most logical and the most
worthy of careful consideration
‘This states that the entire proceeds
of the Big Rights be given to
Rhoads Hospital—the first $1,000
for furnishing, and the remainder
for books. In this way a complete
and well-equipped library will be
established for the use of over-seas
invalids recuperating from battle
wounds.

Many arguments have been given
against this latter plan, and num-
crous questions have been asked as
to why Rhoads General Hospital
should be the recipient of State's
money

It has been asked why the Fed-
eral Government does not provide
the hospital with the much-nedeed
librury, At present, the government
is in the process of bullding army
hospitals all over the country and of
equipping those hospitals with the
best medical equipment. There is
neither time, money, nor interest
for building a library in Rhoads.

‘The question has been raised as
to why Rhoads Hospital should be
chosen. Several State girls have
visited Rhoads during the past few
months as members of an enter-
taining troupe, While there, they
were taken on a tour of the hospital

Students To Vote
On S. A. Budget

Council Fosters Plans
To Boost Student Union

The main portion of today’s as-
sembly will be devoted to the read-
ing and discussion of the 1945-46
Student Association budget.

‘The first item will be the discus-
s:on and final vote on the appro-
priation of money to cover the ex-
penses of the forthcoming 2 issues
of Dr, Jones’ service letter.

Leah Tishler, '45, Grand Marshal,
will then outline the complete pro-
gram for the Moving-Up Day
events.

Following this, the Junior Class
will nominate candidates for the
Junior May Queen, The voting on
May Queen candidates will be held
on May 18 and results will be an-
nounced at the Junior “Big 8.”

The next business will be the dis-
cussion of the budget, which is out-
lined on page 2. Helen Shure, '45,
will present the budget, and voting
will take place after discussion,

Finally, Betty J. McGrath, chair-
man of the “Big 8” program will
lead the final discussion and vot-
ing on the disposal of the “Big 8”
proceeds,

Student Council has made plans
for State's first Student Union Day
to be held on May 23. The whole
day will be devoted to publicity con-
cerning the Student Union and
various means of gaining extra
funds for the Union. There will be
an admission fee to be paid on en-
trance to the Commons for a uni-
que entertainment, Tags will also
be sold in the lower hall of Draper,
such tags designating the owner's
donation to the fund, Collection
boxes will be placed in such con-
spicuous places as the P.O., Com-
mons, faculty room, Annex, Co-op
and Library. Various displays and
pictures around school will display
the plans and photographs of the
Student Unions of other colleges.

The Council also is holding their
banquet on May 9 at Koonz Restau-
rant on Western Avenue. Helen
Shure, ‘45, will take the floor as
mistress of ceremonies.

more class would like everyone to
come to the Commons tonight and
really let down their hair for the
last time before Moving-Up Day.”
All students who wish to play
bridge during the evening are asked
to bring their own playing cards.

Clyde Cook is chairman of the
ticket committee and the coke bar
will be managed by Irene McCor-
mack, head of the refreshment
committee.

This is the last rivalry event for
boosting war activities, The fresh-
men concluded their program last

mance of “Angel Street,” and the

and almost useless, library. There
present library is about the size of
the State Co-op; yet, the library
must be used by 2500 men. The
books are few and cover a very
small range of interests, Books are
one of the most valuable forms of

Most of the cases are orthopedic
patients suffering from shrapnel

nothing else to read. Many of the
men wish to continue their educa-

For them, deucational texts and
factual books are necessary. A
store of good light reading is also
essential.

is there perhaps even the duty is
there, and State has the money...

Sawdust Caesar lies in a pauper’s
grave, executed by his own coun-
trymen, Those who once hailed
him as creator of the new Latin em-
pire dumped his body in the public
square, spat on him and his mis-
tress, cursed him with the passion
which once impelled their allegi-
ance, buried him in potter's field,

‘We, who scarcely knew of Matte-
otti or the Rosselli brothers, liberals
murdered by the Italian Fascists;
we, to whom Fascism was Verdi
farce on a real scale—until Italians
began bombing Ethiopians, killing
French, siding with Nazis—we were
horrified at the gutter death of
Benito Mussolini.

W.thin this week, Adolph Hitler
has been pronounced dead. Hero,
suicide, hoax? The world is skep-
tical and even indifferent. The
chaos which Hitler helped to loose
has numbed too many minds for his
exit to bring joy, Not even the
Jews, whose destruction was Hitler's
prime aim, nor the Russians, whose
promised defeat won Hitler support
among respectable businessmen in
Allied countries, can find any pleas-
ure in his passing.

After a time, history will evaluate
the forces and misery which urged
Germany to make a deity out of a
neurotic, From this, the preventive
may be learned. A prescription may
be in the making now in San Fran-
cisco.

The first week at UNCIO has
testified to the mounting influence
of the Soviet Union and the United
States. At the same time, there is
evidence that the great hurdle—
maintaining American-Soviet-Brit-
ish teamwork—is being met skill-
fully. Despite pressures which could
split the conference into an Anglo-
American and a Soviet camp, the
delegation leaders of the Big Four
seem keenly conscious of and pre-
pared to dissolve the dangers of
disunity,

These dangers include the Polish
question, still a question mark; the
entry of Argentina into the confer-
ence, over the protests of Russia,
Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia; and

Frosh Scuttle '47 Banner
Under Spreading Oak Tree

Saturday afternoon the Cam-
pus of State College became a
“happy hunting ground"—Daf-
fies versus Gremlins — Golden
Supremacy versus Green Envy—
and two banners at stake.

The Daffy team, highlighted by
Spark-plug Sparky's excellent
“scout-find-and-capture” — tech-
nique rose to their full, unpreced-
ented power as they whisked the
coveted green treasure to safety.

Meanwhile the Greedy Grem-
lins were rampaging the halls
of Ye Olde Alma Mater but to
no avail. Wishing to console
themselves—or maybe they can’t
read yet—they made off with the
‘44 banner, raced through Draper,
an avalanche of Daffies, a bloody
brawl, and the Daffies again
reigned supreme.

Now that this event is so glor:
iously etched in the history of r
valry and the Green Gremlins
fallen from their high horse of
supremacy, the outcome of ri-
valry is more than promising for
the Golden Class. Beware, '47—
this is the forecast of things to
come!

“The Frosh”

the American amendments to the
Dumbarton Oaks agreement.

Argentina was admitted to par-
ticipation at the insistence of the
Latin-American nations. The U. 8.
now stands in the pivot point’ of
the 21 Amer.can nations at the con-
ference, and along with the British
Empire could outyote the Soviet
Union on any issue, if it so desired,
At present the Soviets have three
votes in the conference, plus those
of a sympathetic nations. They
have already been outvoted on Ar-
gentina and are still arguing for
admission of the Warsaw Polish
government. However, Molotoff is
said to have influenced Stettinius’
statement that Argentina must
prove its sincere adherence to the
cause of United Nations before the
conference grants that government
an important position.

Twice this week Molotoff, Eden,
T, V. Soong and Stettinius met at
private suppers to talk over the
basic issues as friends, Such meet-
ings will do much to maintain the
good will which so far has prevent-
ed arguments from’ becoming too
final. Thus, after Russia’s set-
wacks this week, Molotoff reaffirm-
ed the USSR's desire to see the
conference succeed in its aim of
launching the security organization,
News that Molotoff planned to
leave for home in a few days came
as an unpleasant surprise, at first;
it has since been pointed out that
Germany's disintegration may well
demand the presence of more than
one foreign minister at his own of-
fice.

Finally, the American delegation’s
proposed amendments are being
presented at the keynote to secur-
ing the U, S, Senate's ratification

of the conference decision, Never-
theless, if this college junior may
be allowed a few pessimistic guesses,
we have a sinking sensation at the
sound of some of the amendments.
Briefly this is what Senators Van-
denburg and Connally are urging:
1, An amendment that a constitu-
tional convention be called within
12 years to amend or revise the
proposed constitution of .he organ-
ization, 2. Greater power for the
general assembly, to revise regional
agreements, hear grievances, enforce
the Atlantic Charter. 3, Machinery
for the “orderly withdrawal” of a
nation from the security organiza-
tion,

We agree with the opponents of
this last proposal that its adoption
will react negatively on the psycho-
logy of the organization builders, It
may be a realistic appeal to reac-
tionary senators but 45 nations will
also interpret this, each in its own
way. Their reaction is quite as
vital as the U, S, Senate's,

Cy Joan Hylind ———

“The ideas on which democracy
is based were being undermined in
the democracies long before they
were tprooted in the totalitarian
countries.” _

At ‘first glance, the proposed
council to further relations among
aces, cultures and religions seems
to be the very essence of a working
democracy. Closer examination,
however, brings out implications
that are fraught with danger—not
only for democracy, but for the very
cause which the council seeks to
champion.

To get down to a common denom-
inator—there is a very small per-
centage, if any, of the students at
State College who are opposed to
the basic ideal of such a group,
The fallacy of preaching interna-
tional equality and brotherhood
when some races and religions
within our own borders are not
treated as equals, has long been
recognized as a weakness of our
democracy, Clearly, too, something
must be done to correct the contra-
diction before it becomes too much
of a talking point for enemy pro-
paganda along racial lines,

State College is more free from
prejudice than most other colleges
in the country. An attempt to root
out all prejudice would disclose the
fact that most of what exists, either,
arises from personality differences
rather than from any deep-seated
prejudice; or, is an attempt to ra-
tionalize his own failings on the
part of the supposedly persecuted
individual. In bringing out these
reported prejudices, however, the
situation will have been exaggerated
and enlarged upon to prove a point.
Actually more feeling will be gen-
erated than exists already,

Pressure, legislation, and propa-
ganda can, in a short time, produce
the outward signs of tolerance.
Education is the only method by
which complete and lasting under-
standing is attainable, But, this
education must be slow and subtle.
Trying to force an idea upon peo-
ple, allowing no other course of
action than the one mapped out
by a central committee is a guar-
anteed method of arousing anta-
gonism for a. idea—among intelli-
gent, thinking people. Looking
back over assembly and club activ-
itles of the past few years, It be-
comes obvious that the program of
education has been going on —
without benefit of label or steering
committee. SCA, Newman Club
and Hillel have sporsored such
speakers as Lester Granger, Father
Fisher, Julius Thomas, Rabbi Gold-
berg, Students have worked with
the Booker T. Washington center.
Forum has conducted discussions
and debates on racial and cultural
topics. D&A and Music Council
have brought to the college people
of other cultures, There is no mon-
opoly on tolerance, All this comes
about naturally, Equality is the
coming trend in Social thought—Iit
4s what students are interested in
and it is what thelr leaders must
supply in order to remain leaders.

Organizations are already func-
tioning in the college to do the
things which the inter-group coun-
cil proposes to do—Student Council,
Debate, Forum, the religious clubs,
etc. By thelr very name and pur-
pose the Council assumes a higher
authority than the established
groups whose activities they seek to
coordinate. It would seem that for
such a council to operate, it would
need the permission of the organ-
izations it plans to advise, As for
the power of the sub-committee on
student-administration relations, it’s
only fair-play that some member of
the administration be included.
After all, if one reasons logically, it
follows that it 1s just as undemo-
cratic for students to dominate the
administration as it Is for the ad-
ministration to dominate the stu-
dents,

Anything new has the tendency
to be carried away by its own en-
thusiasm and momentum. Maybe
that ls why an organization which
seeks to perfect democracy has
chosen undemocratic means to ac-
hieve Its purpose, The group could
allay many fears of the students by

WAA Announces
All-State Star Team

Selection Of Squad Ends
Successful Basketball Season

The ‘regular basketball season is
over for another -year and time for
the annual selection of a mythical
All-star team. The WAA basketball
league had an ‘active season this
winter and the choice of a repre-
sentative team was difficult, Mary
Now, president of WAA announces
the following players:

Forwards;

Mary Seymour
Eileen Shoup
Gloria Russo

Sub; Mary Quinn

Guards;

Edna Sweeney
Georgette Dunn
Jayne Cheney

Sub: Wilma Diehl

Seymour, the Phi Delt bolt of
lightning, especially in the BZ, was
a unanimous selection. Shoupie,
KD’'s passing and shooting ace, kept
opposing players guessing her every
performance, No one questioned
the all-round ability of Newman's
star, Gloria Russo, Her shooting
and floorwork are beyond compare.
Quinn, during her first year on the
Gamma Kap squad, diibbled and
moved around with the ease and
skill of a player very much at home
on the WAA court,

Edna Sweeney, Psi Gam's bomb-
shell, and unanimous choice as best
guard, incurred the admiration of
players and spectators alike for her
smooth perfromance, BZ's repre-
sentative, Dunn, deserves praise not
only for her superb playing, but also
for her fine sense of sportsmanship.
Cheney was’ Gamma Kap's “fight-
inest” player this season, intercept-
ing passes, taking the ball off the
backboard, spurring the team to
league leadership, Wilma Diehl,
frosh star and all-round good sport
rounds out the selection of a power-
ful squad.

As is well known to all spectators
of WAA basketball this year, these
girls gave excellent performances
and each was a spark-plug for her
teammates, The line-up picked this
year could easily hold its own with
any team seen in these parts,

Softball Progressing;
Seniors To Form Team

Once again softball senson has
started with an enthusiastic and
somewhat damp beginning, The
rain has put a damper on softball
activities, but not on the spirit of
the players,

Monday Wednesday and Friday
practices have been well attended
according to Shoup and Baker sport
captains, There is, however, one
flaw in the picture of vim, vitality
and enthusiasm—the decided lack
of Juniors and Seniors. In fact, to
date, there has been 2 Juniors and
no Seniors at all, Since the Seniors
are scheduled to play '48 next week
they must form a team. Those in-
terested please contact Bostwick,

Some of the freshmen look like
veterans in the field, Either Young
or Boyington on first look as good
as some of the old timers, Diehl,
Diffen, Magginis, Valentine, Dailey,
Tilden and Archido are all excellent
in thelr respective positions,

Of course, the Sophs are living
up to thelr athletic reputation,
Margo, Baker, Wakin, and Swee-
ney of last years fame are still on
the ball, Newcomers Nielsen, Ray-
mond, Lucsok and O'Grady are
powerful hitters and have been

ing out regularly,

ig off its aspects of a secret
society and by broadening its pro-
visions for membership, , From a
practical standpoint, even, the pres-
ent committee and sub-committee
set-up appears inadequate to han-
dle the endless ramifications in the
flelds of labor, economics, social
welfare, etc, that will arise in such
work,

Above all, should the student
body be asked to support a self-
Appointed council, when there are
existing organizations seeking the
same ends that are representative
of the students?

Sophs Surprise in Swim

Thrills, Suspense
During Contest

The Sophomores chalked up an-
other athletic triumph Wednesday
evening as they won thre> out of
five races at the Public Bath and
copped two rivalry points alloted to
the swim meet. The final result
came as a surprise to meny who
favored '48 to win.

Frosh Win Relay

The frosh exhibited their strength
in the flirst race, a speed relay
matching Pat Tilden and Suo
O'Connell against Connie Lessl2r
and Janet Inglehart. The whistle
blew, the meet was on, and Tilden
was off to a good start. She led
Lessler down the pool and on the
return trip, O'Connell kept the
frosh lead, finishing a length ahead
of Inglehart. The freshmen team
really looked promising.

Most Exciting Race

Confidently, 48 prepared for the
second race which was another re-
lay involving the transportetion of
a lighted candle, Victory depended
upon a fast side stroke and excellent
kick control to avoid splashing the
candle. Jane Mills and Bar!
Harris started off in the most e3
citing race of the evening. As Mills
gradually increased her lead the
Sophomores hopes rose; but their
hearts stopped, when in transfer-
ring the cendle to Inglehart, the
flame went out. While it was being
relightect Harris came in and Fiedler
started down the last lap for the
frosh, Her candle lit, Inglehart
resumed the race and excitement
rose as che overtook her opponent
at the halfway mark, They were
even for a few seconds, and then
in a burst of speed, Inglehart drew
away and won the race by inches,

A Lost Shoe

The third race
and Barbara Ha
clothes for the plunge. The firs!
one to swim to the other side, shed
their outer clothing, toss it up on
the tile and return, would be
awarded the race, Harris got off te a
better start, while Davidson seemed
to be having a little difficulty.
However, in her haste, Harris lost
one of her shoes and while she was
still trying to retrieve it, Davidson
returned to the starting point and
won the second race for the Sopho
mores,

Sophs Win Third

To swim the length of the pool
reading the State College NEWS
was the next obstacle race, and the
Sophs matched Inglehart against
Ruth Osborne, Inglehart's steady
up and down kick proved stronger
than Osborne's scissors and she won
by a wide margin.

Frosh Show Speed

The Sophomores had won the re-
quired three but it was decided to
run off the fifth race anyway,
O'Connell, Osborne and Tilden
swam for the frosh, and Lessler,
Mills and Davidson for the Sophs,
The race was for one length and
would be credited to the first team
to be completed on the other end.
Here again the frosh displayed their
superiority in free style speed.
O'Connell, Osborne, and Tilden
placed first, second and third, giving
the race to the freshmen,

Softball, Field Stunts Left

The swim meet completed, only
softball and fileld stunts remain on
the rivalry sports calendar and
these total ten points. The stunts
are scheduled for May 10, and notice
of the softball game will be posted
on the class bulletin boards,

Merrily We Ride Along

In the spring, the thoughts of
some turn to horse-back riding. So
far about 13 girls have recelved
enough bruises to obtain credit in
riding.

Experienced riders are allowed to
go as they please, beginners are un-
der the care of Andy, who knows
his Job and has his students riding
to musie and doing formations,
Some People

And, of course, there are the
over -enthusiastics, like acrobatic
Thomas who did a double fllp over
her horse's head,

But riding 1s a great sport. Cap-
tains Clough and Koehn invite all
interested or prospective people to
come out Saturday mornings and
join them in a brisk ride,

Students Respond
Wholeheartedly
To MAA Plea

The general subscription for op-
erating funds in the man-power
drive was a great success, When the
take had been tabulated, the col-
lectors found that State had shelled-
out to the tune of $51.00, This repre-
sents roughly a nickel from each
person in the student body, but to
those who contributed $4.50 in quart-
ers a special commendation is con-
veyed, Thanks, however, goes to all
those who chipped-in, no matter how
small the offering. If the spirit
shown in this initial effort is kept
up, there is no reason to fear that
there will be poor support for the
team,

Letters Sent

The first item bought by the fund
was $20.00 worth of stamped enve-
lopes. With these the fellows sent
out the plea to alumni all over the
state. This letter outlined what is
being planned in the way of ath-
letics, the advantages offered by
State, and what was expected of
them. This method will bring the
campaign even closer to prospective
freshmen. It will also reawaken the
grads interest in the doings of their
Alma Mater,

To follow up the letter to the
alumni each man who already has
applied will receive a personal let-
ter from one of the men in State.
As more names are received, more
letters will be sent. It is hoped that
the personal approach will draw
even more students from towns al-
ready contributing. To augment
the mailing list now in the hands
of the men it would be appreciated
if each student in the college would
turn in names of athletes that they
personally know,

The final plea is that the student
body will do vigorous recruiting on
its own over the summer vacation.

New York Teams

League Favorites

Last year we went way out on a
limb to predict the outcome of the
major league baseball, Not only did
we forecast the winner, but we even
went so far as to list the teams in
the numerical order in which we
expected them to finish.

The American league really played
us dirt, Detroit, whom we had fu
in fifth position ended up on top
of the league. New York, our boys,
finished up in third place. The
Boston team which we had delegat-
ed to the cellar put forth a spirited
drive which landed them right ur
with the Big 4.

The National league was a little
more responsive to our suggestions,
Right there on top at the end of
the season just as we had predicted,
were the St. Louis Cardinals,

But, practice makes perfect, they
say, so rather than being overcome
by our failure last year, we go out
again on our limb, This time we
take the New York club in each
league. The Yankees have the most
patent pitching staff and still have
some of thelr old power left. The
Giants seem to have the strongest
team in the National,

So far our boys have been doing
fine, The Giants took their tourth
straight Wednesday while the Yan-
kees, the same day, took the
measure of the Athletics,

Siena Nips State
In Close Game

Woodwoith's Loss; 11-10
Brophy's Batting Stars

Bouncing back from their twin
shellacking two weeks before, Siena
nosed out a fighting State College
team 11-10 last Sunday afternoon.
The scene of the game was changed
from the seclusion of the Dorm Field
to the wind-swept heights of Bever-
wyck Park, It must have been the
wide open spaces that upset the con-
trol of the usually steady Frank
Woodworth. Whatever it was, his
pin-point hurling, which had held
Siena to two runs the last time out,
deserted him, and as a result he
was hit freely. He wasn’t wild to
the extent that the Siena boys were
presented with a flock of walks, it
just meant that he had to throw fast
pitches to get the ball over the plate.
Siena Opens Scoring

Siena was off to a flying start in
the very first inning. The combina-
tion of a walk, two errors and two
hits was good enough for three runs.
They made it 4-0 in the second in:
ing when Jones was safe on an error,
stole second, and scored on Gold-
blatt’s long single to right.

State narrowed the margin in
their half of the second. Woodworth
walked, went to third on a wild
pitch, and scored on Keen's hit.

Siena made it 6-1 in the third
when they scored twice on four solid
hits. State came back for one in the
third, but they soared into the lead
in the Afth, Uhan the emake had
cleared from the barrage of base hits
five State runs had dented the rub-
ber and State was leading 7-6. The
big blow of the inning was when
Brophy drove one of Fidelle’s fast,
balls into Partridge Street for a
home run. No one was on base when
dim delivered his hit.

State's lead lasted until the sixth
frame when two more Siena runs
were scored. They added another
brace in the ninth to give them an
imposing 10-7 lead. State made its
last bid in the bottom half of the
ninth when it tied up the score with
three runs. Brophy again provided
the punch with a two run. single.

Siena won the game in the top
half of the tenth stanza. A walk
and two hits provided them with the
necessary margin of victory. State
went down in order in the last half
of the tenth and also went down to
their initial defeat of the year.

Of the Cuff

State again showed its most glar-
ing deflect—sloppy fielding. The boys
are hitting well, but when they get.
out on the field they seem to lose
a lot of their polish, A little more
practice would make a formidable
team out of them, Siena looked bet-
ter than before, hitting when it
counted and taking advantage of
every break. The next game, when it
comes, promises to be good.

Our boys have it in them but per-
haps a little more encouragement
from the female population at State
would spur them on to future tri-
umphs. Certainly a larger turn-out
especially at the home games would
help the team considerably.

Tapping Tomorrow

It happens every year. Comes May
and State blossoms out with a new
Myskania. or the freshmen, Sophs,
ana Seniors, the preceding month
is a time tor voicing predictions
ana prejudices; for the Juniors it
is a silent period to be broken only
by an oveasional click of the “bited”
nail and a now-and-then release of
the bated breath,

‘this year, tapping of the new
Myskania will remind us of the
changes that have taken place in
the past year. Perhaps the great-
est change is the abandoning of the
caps and gowns except on special
cecasions, However, there is one
thing that wall never change as long
us Myskania exists—the group of
Juniors that are tapped.

‘here is always a beauty, brains,
brawn combination Now; a bomb-

presidents—Garfall and Smith, The

around to boost inter-faith rela-
tions, Then, on the literary side,
there's always a versatile Marsh, a
smiling Gerg, and a “where did you
get those dimples, Dot" Meyers.

The class of '45 has had a record-
breaking Myskania. For the first
time in its history, Myskania was
composed of all women—one dozen

ies. They've performed under

power and duties, but it

jampened thelr spirit, We

all remember the dungarec-and-

sweat-shirt-clad twelve selling
chances on a bond,

Tomorrow, they'll march from the
stage in the traditional way to tap
the thirtieth Myskania, How many?
Between eight and thirteen, Pop-
wlar opinion holds that there will be
thirteen this year, It 1s always a
new and wonderful experience for
the freshmen, but the upperclass-
men are usually more interested in
who will make up the new “select
few."

Every year, the decision is ques-
tioned and this year will not be an
exception, Moving-Up Day Is a day
for the bitter and the joyful, never
for the indifferent. The balcony
will be jammed with mothers, all
with the same question, “Will my son
or daughter... ?

There is another question which
no one thinks of, “Do these people
correspond with the usual leaders
with ‘thelr beauty, etc?" O well,
there must be one dimple in the
Junior class!

Nazi Downfall
Heartens World

Like the rest of the world, State
students wept, prayed and cele-
brated when Nazi Germany uncon-
ditional surrender was announced
to all the Allies in all the fronts
May 7, 1945. Official “Victory in
Europe Day” waited only for con-
firmation at 9 A.M., May 8, as the
Big Three leaders’ simultaneously
spoke to their people. The procla-
mations declared history's most tra-
gic conflict at a victorious end,

News of Surrender

In the little red schoolhouse some-
where in France, the headquarters
of General Eisenhower, the German
\Gommander Foertch surrendered
unconditionally to the Allies at 2:41
AM. French time and 8:49 P.M.
EWT. General Eisenhower's Chief
of Staff Lt. General Smith signed
the surrender with the French and
Russians. “Fighting Ike” Hisenhow-
er, who was not present at the sign-
ing, later asked the German gener-
als who were brought before him
if they understood the terms of
unconditional surrender. The ene-
my’'s answer was, “Yes.” So the na-
tiow, that str ted the purge of
blitzes, V-bombs and U-boat war-
fare when they attacked Poland and
caused world disorder for five years,
eight months and six days, has
gone down to defeat.

America greeted the uncondi-
tional surrender with a variety
of emotions sweeping from coast
to coast. New York city's reaction
was a cascade of waste paper from
buildings while people sang and
shouted in the streets and publicly
prayed,

Upstate New York welcomed the
news with civie celebrations and
prayers of Thanksgiving.

State's First Reaction

State students, at first uncertain,
walked about in a state of oxpect-
any or overflowed the News Office
listening to the latest news flashes
to confirm the rumors, Nows came
from all sources and truth came to
the fore, Military victory in Europe
was certain, The V-E Day Service,
aranged by Myskania, was held at
9 A.M. on May 8 as the only official
celebration, Classes continued and
the Colloge remained in session,

The United Nations conference,
accepting Germany's — surrender
with calm rejoicing, continued bus-
iness conferences as usual in this
momentous time of Nazi surrender,
but on the lips of every delegate was
the happy word that “now it's over
in Europe.”
