Pardon. Mr. John Porter Edge!
Real Rivalry Score Is 3048-1 714
CONTRARY TO THE STATE-
MENT made by Mr, John Porter
Edge on the night of May 19
(Moving-up Day to you), the rivalry
score between the sophomore and
freshman classes was not and is not
27% to 17%! According to John,
(a math major—tch, tch!) a mistake
was made somewhere, sometime,
somehow in determining the totals—
and it is therefore with great pleas-
ure that the Srara Coutsan News
rectifies the mistake:
The correct, official, unadulter-
ated score was and {s: 30% to 17%.
Short pause while members of the
reading audience cheer, boo, or turn
the page, For those of you who
demand proof, listen my children
and you shall hear a brief history
of rivalry (the official kind) at
State during the year '38-39, So
get out those pencils and rulers,
and start checking carefully,
‘Way, way back last October, Cam-
pus day saw the sophomores gain-
ing 3 points for men’s pushball and
2 points for women’s athletic events,
while the freshmen were awarded
1 point for women’s athletic events.
There followed a long lull in rival-
ry affairs, Then Thursday evening
during the last week of the first
semester, the sophs threw a bomb-
shell by finding 1942's banner (for
which feat 5 points were given
on Moving-up day). Next day came
the assembly debate on “steadiness”
in all its aspects, and the elated
sophs gained 2% more points.
‘Women's basketball furnished the
class of '41 with 3 additional points,
and the rivalry sing in assembly
gave them 2% points.
Then came a great turning of the
tables, worms, or luck—as you will,
The frosh emerged victorious from
the men’s basketball game, and thus
accumulated 3 more points, Mc-
Kown’s Grove saw them also carry
off the men's 3 baseball points, al-
though the soph women again helped
balance the score by gaining 3
points from the female baseball bat-
the frosh pulled down 3 more points
by coming out on top in the third
onslaught,
But, alas! The class of '41 once
more came through. The discovery
of the mascot brought them 5 extra
points, which were also awarded on
Moving-up day. Then, determined
for revenge, the excited frosh pro-
ceded to walk away with a little
rope as well as the 3 tug-of-war
points.
You know as well as we do the
story of May 18 and 19: men’s push-
ball—2 points for the frosh; women’s
athletic events—2 points for them
there, too; stunt—3 points for the
sophs; and sing—1% points apiece
for the red and blue alike,
So there it is—add it up! And
if you can get anything but 30'4—
17%, well— just show us!! We're
willing to be convinced.
And now that all official mathe-
matics are cleared up, we find that
the frosh fellows are athletically
superior to their rivals, but that in
nearly all the women's events the
sophomore Amazons seem to have
the edge on the gals of ‘42, And
thus, fellow citizens, ends rivalry till
the arrival of 1943 and its little green
banner,

‘The greatest danger that confronts formal educa-
tion and the American mania for degree hunting is
an attitude of smugne: We need to be jostled
into the realization that there still exist original
minds among that group which we so frequently
brand as the laymen, Though they may never
have had a single “course,” which in many cases
may be a substitute for original thought, they may
still be valuable members of society alert to the
basic principles that we can’t see for the forest,
Sometimes these laymen are to be found an ig
waiters in a restaurant. Another may be a Ver-
mont rustic. I recall one such person who, though
he had never learned to write, should have been
teaching philosophy in a great university, It is
perfectly possible that he would not have heen so |
wise had he pursued a formal education.
We may wave these individuals aside with the
thought that they are exceptions to the general |
rule but even that suggests an element of smugness
that few of us will admit.

I Believe - Do You?
(With this issue the SUMMER SCHOOL NEws will
print the first of a series of “Credos” which will
give the members of the faculty an opportunity to
express briefly their ideas of what education should
be, This week’s “Credo” is that of Mr. Louis C.
Jones, instructor of English.)
I believe in the people, the common people.
I believe in a government which gives those people
the greatest possible opportunity to make of their
lives what they desire.
T believe that the best way a government can pro-
vide this opportunity is through an educational sys-
tem that helps every child to find his ways of work
and his most satisfying ways of pleasure.
T believe that a teacher should be a guide to these
children, not a drill master,—tho' I am aware of cer-
tain values in certain drills.
I believe in the value of the best traditions of the
past, especially in those cultural traditions which re-
assert the dignity of the human race,
T also believe in an education which makes each
student and teacher deeply aware of the present: its
great accomplishments and its tragic failures,
I believe tn an education which teaches a child
how to achieve economic independence, but an edu-
cation which aims only to do that has merely trained
a cog in the industrial and commercial machine. It
should provide him with an understanding of a wide
variety of cultural and intellectual interes 30 that
from the many he may find some few to make his
own life more endurable to himself and others.
I believe that a teacher should have an inviolable
personal life as well as a professional life. The admin-
istrator who expects his leachers to give their entire
lives to the school is a fool, for a teacher must have
time to build his own life so that he may remain a
person, and a person worthy of his responsibility,
I believe a teacher should be himself, not what
other people think a teacher ought to be, He should
think for himself and, within reasonable limits, speak
for himself, even if those are not the words expected
from him,
I believe that when a teacher enters the school
to be conscious of any differ-
ences among his students in race, erced, or station
If he can not forget these differences in his treat-
ment of students then let him go out and be a banker
or garbage collector, but not a teacher,
I believe that a teacher's first loyally is to the
people of the state, and to no single political, reli-
gious, or racial group or institution within the state.

‘To the Editor:
The welcome “at-home” feeling given visiting stu-
dents in New York State Teachers College in Albany
is very pleasing, The friendly spirit existing between
the students and faculty is a bit unusual for such a
large student body; nevertheless, it creates an environ-
ment that makes Work enjoyable and very profitable,
It is so pleasant to be recognized by a student or pro-
fessor when met in the corridor, on the campus, or
in other common meeting places, ‘True, we cannot
expect to be called by name, at least not in the first
few days, but it is gratifying to be recognized as a
member of the group.
The regular student well as those who have
studied here in former years, are kind in giving diree-
Uons, answering questions and explaining details
which help the stranger to become orientated.
As a whole State ‘Teachers’ College is a little com-
munity enjoying common interests. It deserves great
which will send many. of
Us away al the end of six weeks having made many
new acquaintances and friends, This commendable
spirit sels an example that might well be followed by
other institutions of higher learning,

If you are an English major or

Literature at some time or other.
Dr. George K. Anderson, visiting in-
structor from Brown University, is
in some ways responsible for this—
he is the author of the text that is
used, The Literature of England,
When asked for an interview and

Dr, Anderson will finish a new
book soon, This Generation, He will
go to England on his sabbatical leave |
which comes in a year or two. He!
has already studied early English |
literature in England twice before, |
Although Dr. Anderson been
at Brown since 1927, his teaching
experience has been varied, He was
graduated from Harvard in 1920 and
since then has taught in that col-
lege and in the George Washington
University in Washington, He has
spent his summer se ss al the
Bread Loaf School the
English division of Middlebury Col- |
lege, and State college where he
taught English courses last sum-

| Co-op Has Nineteen-year Career

the State College Co-op has been
steadily growing in service to stu-
dents and faculty. That it will be

Barbara Kelly, '35, Both attended
‘he convention of the National Asso-
ation of College Stores at St. Louis
this year.
Today, continuing the ideals of
Miss Fay, the Co-op staff and stu-
dent assistants are constantly striv-
ing to gratify collegiate needs and
desires. Their services are offered
with intelligent friendliness and
ready cooperation.
The Co-op has been the scene of
many thrilling experiences for State
College students. It was a gala day
for instance, when Christopher Mor-
ley dedicated the “Haunted Book-
shop," that secluded nook of the
Co-op, replica of a corner of the
original Haunted Bookshop, where

Mr. Morley brought with him a bag
of walnuts which he autographed
and distributed to the “nutty peo-
ple" who would spend a fine Satur-
day afternoon in a bookstore.
Among the Co-op's other distin-
guished guests, students and faculty
will remember Frederic Melchior of
Publisher's Weekly, Robert ti,
Dorothy Lathrop, Carl Carmer, Johr
Lomax and many others.
Truly, in the words of the lat
Professor Kirkland of the Education
Department, the “Co-op ts more than
a supply house or a bookshop; it {
a place of intriguing suggestior
Two minutes there always remind
one of the good things he on
meant to write; and of the better
things he sill means to read.”
Dean Announces Hours

is in his office for consultation with
students from 8:00 A. M, until 1:00

SUMMER SCHOOL NEWS:
Pisisective Fieskmen Swelter
Under Fire of Qualifying Tests
With Ipitating hearts and
sweating pees fifteen prospective
freshmen enter the halls of State
College every day for the final tests
of their fitness for acceptance in a
teachers’ ‘college. The roll of ap-
plicants, already cut down by schol-
astic: standards for admission, will
be “further depleted by the results
of personality, speech and physical
tions.
Mr, William G. Hardy, instructor
in the. English department, who
makes all speech tests, stresses the
importance of eliminating those
who, although boasting Regents’
averages of over 90%, are not pos-
sessed of the personal and physical
qualities essential to good teaching.
“The ability to Se aa:
glish language clearly and pleas-
penta says Mr. Hardy, “is essen-
tial.” Whatever else he teaches, the
teacher sets an example of good or
poor speaking before his students.
For this reason, a careful analysis is
made of the speech characteristics
and the speaking apparatus of each
prospective freshman. Any serious
defects which cannot be corrected
by: means of the College clinical
facilities. serve to disqualify the

sible by the obviously friendly in-
