STATE COLLEGE NEWS, DECEMBER 9, 1938
State Will Cooperate in Drive
For Chinese
Would you walk a thousand miles
across mountains for a chance at a
college education? Could you take
lecture notes in a bomb-proof cellar,
or an examination during an air
raid? Can you imagine a student
body using caves as classrooms and
dugouts as dormitories? Chinese
students actually have been doing
just such things since the opening
of the present Chino-Japanese War,
At Nanking and other universities,
thousands of students have had to
live and work in caves and dugouts.
Many have had to leave their de-
stroyed universities and move many
miles inland in order to continue
their studies,
Out of one hundred colleges and
universities in China, thirty-five
have been totally or partially de-
stroyed, and others are being used
as barracks by Japanese troops, By
ox-cart and on foot, entire student
bodies have moved inland from the
war zone, They have traveled thou-
sends of miles through war-har-
assed country to frontier cities such
as Sian, Chengtu, and Kwenming,
where colleges are now re-opening.
This mass migration of students
under the press of war conditions
has created a situation which needs
remedying immediately. The cities
into which they are moving are
totally unprepared to receive them,
‘They need food, clothing and shel-
ter, Fellowship and recreation
must be provided to keep them from

nese government and private insti-

®ine circumstances, but “obviously,
they still need help.
Last year the Far Eastern Student
Emergency Fund raised $18,808 for
Chinese student relief. This year
the International Student Service
and the National Intercollegiate
Christian Council, with the coop-
eration of the National Student Fed-
eration of America, of which State
college is a member, and other na-
tional student
leges to raise $50,000 in order to
carry on the work of rehabilitating
these Chinese students,
With the help of American college
students, these things can be pro-
vided. Always, of course, the bulk
of the money will be used to provide
the minimum necessities of life, Two
American dollars will provide board
for a Chinese student for five weeks,
Twenty dollars will cover his room
and board for the whole college year,
State college will cooperate in
the Far Eastern Service Fund drive
this year, An announcement will be
made in assembly one week from
Friday, at which time a collection
wl be taken among our student
body for the fund,

Don’t Look Now But—
Mailboxes Are Moving
Oh, gee! I wonder where that
mail box can be—so do we,
so do we, so do we.”
This is going to be State's
new version of a “Tisket-a~-
Tasket" very shortly for the stu-
dent mailboxes are about to dis-
appear from their familiar posi-
tion opposite the lockers in
Draper hall before we go home
for the Christma, holidays.
Where is the new domicile of
those “letter bearers,” guys and
galses? It will be moved to the
corridor on the first floor of
Husted hall near the Hygiene
office. And still more wonder-
ful is that there will now be
four sections to the mailbox in-
stead of the present two, Prog-
ress has at last reached State,
Now when “billet-doux"” and
warnings come out and there is
a general “plop” of students, the
Hygiene office will be very con-
venient, don't you think?

afternoon the sororities will learn
what freshmen that they bid have
likewise stated their preference to
join that sorority, Monday night the
sororities will send out their formal
bids which the freshmen will re-
ceive Wednesday morning,
In former years formal rushing
took place the weekend following
final minations, This year the
faculty has granted approval to this
tentative arrangement, which, if suc-
\cessful, will be incorporated in the

Tuesday night when the Student

Blood and gory, emaciated
bodies were strewn over the
floor and near the doors, Broken
bones, broken spines, bruises and
even scratches were sustained in
the accident, When the ambu-
lance arrived to take the victims
to the hospital, there was on
hand the largest attendance at
any public function that ever oc-

We'd like to write a cheerful editorial

how, we can’t make ourselves do this, Pos-
sibly because we feel too strongly about
some existing situations that seem likely to
explode the peace of the world,
Munich has come and the hope for re-
sults are gone. Once again we begin to
doubt Mr, Chamberlain’s sanity when he
threw the Czech nation into the dictators’
fangs to demolish. Perhaps, Mr. Chamber-
lain is trying to right the wrong accom-
plished by the treaty of Versailles, Per-
haps—but to our minds two wrongs never
made a right,
With the war hysteria and fear that
existed then, there is little, perhaps, that
Mr. Chamberlain could have done, but ;
there exists the fecling in everyone’s mind |
that he sold a nation down the ri

And if Hitler moves farther and farther

STATE COLLEGE NEWS, DECEMBER 16, 1938
‘Then Silence is Golden?’
—__——- Commentstater.
(THB COMMENTSTATER is given the widest
latitude as author of Uris column, though his view-
points do not necessarily always reflect those of the
Stare Coutmce News./
It seems ungrateful, even impertinent, that we
should criticize Intersorority council after all the re-
forms that august and admirable body has instituted
this year. indeed, starting out on a pleasant note,
the feminine element on all sides is praising Allah and
the afore-mentioned council for moving up the annual
rush parties from February to last weekend.
The advantages of this reform are numerous and
apparent. In the first place, the sorority girl and the
freshman are spared the toil of rush parties and
pledge parties, intermingled with final examinations,
In the second place, the week between exams and the
second semester will be a sort of pre-spring vacation to
break up the monotonous and nerve-wracking stretch
between Christmas and Easter vacations,
Im the third place, girls, think of all the Christmas
cards you'll save—or is that unduly catty?
However, cur complaint is this, chronologically
stated: Rush parties were last weekend; at twelve
o'clock on Monday, the freshmen had signed on the
dotted line; at four-thirty or thereabouts, the various
sororities had received the final election returns.
Therefore, why the great silence? We concede that
a silent period from the last function of rushing week-
end up to the four-thirty expose is a fine thing. Last
minute persuasion and frantic rushing might be an
undesirable and disastrous result of a free and easy
policy, but we cannot understand the continuance of
the deaf and dumb show on into the week.
We might quote Omar Khayyam: “The Moving
Finger writes; and, having writ, moves on; nor all
your Piety and Wit shall lure it ck to cancel half a
Line, nor all your Tears wash out a Word of it." After
a freshman has turned in her preference list, the
fearful deed is done, nor can it be easily undone, and
so, We complain, why must hither-to close friends pass
silently in the halls, with only a knowing glance or a
meaningful “Hello”?
Of course that there is always the possibility that
poor sport sororities might altempt to change the other
sororities’ pledges’ minds before pledge service on Wed-
nesday evening. It might be suggested: why wait for
Wednesday evening for this service? Why not con-
duct it on Monday evening, and thus have a. silent
period of only one day? It seems that a system such
as this would eliminate all the petty bickering tha
goes on among the Greeks at this time, Under this
ystem events could be wound up on Monday, the
freshman women would be safe in the sorority fold,
and everybody would be happy. Here is a sound idea
girls, Why not think it over?

Here is the autobiography of a mountain poct, born

these hills. His Life is typieal of a mountainecr’s the

ably this author is yest and as earthy as any
of the modern American writers,
A person of the outdoors, sensitive to all ity charm

a Hife of hard work and With no sophisticated pleasure
His rural schooling is of the old red schoolhouse type
and sensitive lad that he is, he appreciates all the

State’s Stage
Good Acting
Setting?
Costumes ?
PLAYGOER.
Well, pushed hard enough, those
Advanced Dramatics lads and lassies
will show their mettle. Tues
brought two more plays, both
them fine—
The first, Miss DeCotis’ offering,
proved herself a deft hand at creat-
ing moods, Her fantasy actually
stayed In the realm of fantasy for
its duration.
Miss Donnelly and Mr, Walters
had most to do with this, probably.
Theirs were finished performances,
Mr. Walters was at his best, as he
usually fs in that type of role,
The other character parts of
Miss Theurer and Miss Clark were
also keyed to the play. The latter
was certainly a perfect neighbor
Mr. Cassidy, of course, had a role
all to himself in the second play.
Tt might have been written for him,
He played it to the hilt, Mr, Fink
Was good but he could nave made
more of some of his lines, MTs
Stewart was an endearing ‘mama’
to perfection, Miss Arndt was a pre-
cocious little fourteen year old, but
we liked her performance.
One thing we did notice in both
plays—you've got to wateh technical
details, The lights in the first play
worked havoc on Miss Donnelly's
features and weren't at all suited to
the mood, The ends of the stage
were In total darkness throughout
the second play, in spite of occa-
sional action.
Props, too, have been neglected
To get down to the bare truth, those
stage furnishings we saw Tuesday
looked like something that had been
thrown together a few hours before
the performance,
It's getting so bad that you don't
even bother changing furniture. We
gel the same thick-armed antiques
—week after week.
You've got to be careful. Less
talented acting, and the plays could
have been lost—and merely because
of technical deficiency. Let's have a
lite Lime and care spent on this
behind-the-curlain, lite-publicized
part of stage produetion.
(N.B, And at that we think we're
being nice, by just not mentioning
costumes!)
We've gol acting and make-up
talent, so get in there and develop
the rest of your techniques,

Incongruity, oh incongruity!
‘That's our thought as we scan
things athletic this week, The
first bit comes as a result of
last. week's ill-fated game, In
the papers’ write-up of the fray,
we sure did find out stuff and
thing:
For instance, the RPI boy
we are told, ‘had the spectators
in stitches’ with thelr anties,
calling the State contingent—
“Oh, you Teachers!"—accompa-
nied by a wave of their hand-

Wasn't that cute?
They had a few more uncom-
plimentary cracks that we'll ig-
nore here, The point is, we'd
like to start preparing for the
Engineers’ tip here right now.
Maybe we can make it warm
enough for them that those
handkerchiefs will be handy as
fans. Maybe we can lick them
so badly they'll never recover.
Maybe—but why talk of may-

we're mad enough to make an

to be the keystone of the team, set-

In addition, he managed to net nine
points for himself.
For the Commuters, Patsy Turino
was the only one who seemed to have
his shooting eye, He dropped in ten
points to gather in almost all of

Joe Bosley
The State varsity squad dropped
its fi intercollegiate game to
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute last
Saturday night by a score of 29-22,
Dropped is the proper word too, be-
cause they let it slip as if it were a
red-hot tron, They were defeated
by a team that couldn't hold its own
in a fast game of holl;
State's pa
their shots ‘se, Things got
so bad that spectators began to
duck when R.P.T, lost the ball, There
Was no teamwork whatsoever shown
by our quintet; they just threw the
ball in the general direction of a
yellow jersey.
The boys did have some tough
luck with their shots. Many of
them rolled around the hoop and
just dribbled back to the playing
court but too many attempts were
missed by a city block, Some of the
lads didn’t know enough to stop
throwing when they weren't coming
close,
State had a 12-8 lead at the half,
only because the Trojans were a
little worse at everything. However,
at the start of the third quarter
RP.I, began to work more smoothly
and shot into the lead, Their team.
work clicked sufficiently to pass a
demoralized squad. Ludke, who
amassed eight points for the winners,
led the attack against the State lads,
Fazioli, captain of the R.P.I. outfit,
saw very little action in the game.
The starting lineup for State was
composed of Simmons, Hersh, Fra-
ment, Lehman and Ellerin. This
five had enough fight but couldn't
seem lo do anything right, Captain
Hersh played a beautiful defensive
game but offensively he was way off.
Ellerin played the finest game of any
of the State men, He fought plenty
hard and passed nicely in an at-
tempt to get the offense started. But
the offense never did get started.
The pay-off came mid-way in the
third quarter, “Elmer Layden" Hat-
field threw in his second squad “en
mess” to stem the Trojan tide, It
1s the poorest bit of substituting
we have ever seen; fifteen year old
Joe Jones from Podunk Center could
have done better, Any of the five
or ten men that played the second
half could have gone well with four
of the regulars but all together they
didn't have a chance, They were too
|small lo get the ball and too nervous,
to do anything about it when they
did yet it, ‘They did well by slipping
only a few points behind the R.P.1's
but that didn't win the ball game,
During the last few minutes, some of
the State rooters were on the point
of asking Coach for a game, while
others walked out in disgust
Granted, the starting five didn't play
dasketball but there was always the
chance that they would snap out of
their lethargy, T's one thing to fight
for me against odds, but it's a
horse of a different color to throw tt

Will Move Mailboxes
Opposite Locker Room
Hear ye, hear ye! You can go
to the recovery room after get-
ting your mail, if you want to,
but you won't have to be there,
or in the vicinity. According to
the latest, most authentic report,
the student mailboxes will not
be moved to the first floor or
Husted hall, as previously
planned and stated. Due to un-
favorable student opinion, the
actors of Campus Commission
and Myskania, it was decided
that the mailboxes should re-
main close to familiar haunts,
When you come back from
your Christmas vacation, you'll
find the mailboxes moved, but
not far away. No indeed, they're
going to be placed in the cor-
ridors on either side of the mid-
die staircases coming down
from the Rotunda of Draper
hall, opposite the girls’ locker
rooms. This will relieve the con-
