(The
State College Mourns Passing
Of Close Friend and Benefactor
by Sylvia Greenblatt
September 15, just passed, marked
both an opening and an ending.
The doors were opening for an-
other year at State college. They
closed at the same time upon the
life of a grand man—Captain Wil-
liam J. Walker—one of Albany's
_|leading characters, one of State's
most gracious benefactors.
Interesting— exciting — colorful —
all describe both the person and his
fe. From the start, Captain Walk-
er was singled out by his size. “The
biggest man in Albany’—as one
person described him, Yet, what
might have been a handicap be-
came a character of Captain Walk-
er's life, for he was the favorite
Santa Claus at various nurseries,
orphanages and at affairs of groups
and organizations, And Dorm resi-
dents of a few years back will rec-
ognize him, too, as the jovial St.
Nick at the Dorm Christmas party.
During the World War, in the
capacity of a YMCA secretary, he
made many friends among the
French people, friendships which
he maintained throughout the rest
of his life.
Politics did not escape his atten-
tion here, In 1937, he ran for
mayor on the Republican ticket but |
was defeated by the present Mayor
‘Thatcher,
State college students, however,
know Captain Walker best for the
interest he took in this institution,
State was the alma mater of his!
mother, His daughter, too, is fa-
miliar to many here.
Besides acting as Santa Claus at
Dorm parties, Captain Walker him-
self gave, until 1936, several large
parties in the garden of his resi-
dence, for seniors, graduates and
faculty. Dean Moreland recalled
a vivid picture of gay times at those
functions—with song and refresh-
ment for all.
The Captain gave help, too, in
cases where individual students were
concerned, Nor was State college
forgotten at the very last. He
left us in his will a cash sum of
$1,000, There was also left an ad-
ditional $50,000, but this amount
is subject to a number of condi-
tions,
Whatever the case, we of State
college owe a debt of gratitude to
that man—not only for the more|;
material aids he gave but also for
the memory of a vivid personality,
genuinely interested in our welfare.

in them. Now when he looks back, he

While speculative buzzing con-

Petite, dark-haired Jane Wilson,
radiating happiness, entered.

Pass the Amendment |
The amendment for the posting of numerical |
results of elections will come before the student |
association today for final consideration. Also
an amendment to the proposed amendment will be
presented which will call for the posting of numeri-
cal results after the final voting takes place.
If the amendment to the amendment is accept-
ed, the News feels that the measure should re-
ceive the support of the Student association. The
greatest objection to the original amendment was |
the argument that with publication of the results
of revotes, vote trading among political factions
would be encouraged. With the measure thus
amended, this evil would be removed, and the re-
sult would be a constructive addition to our pres- |
ent voting system.
Learning by Doing
In an address at the inauguration of the new
president of Hartwick college last Saturday, Dr.
Cowley of Hamilton college made a statement the
significance of which aptly applies to our own
institution, “In America,” he said, “we talk much
about democracy, but I am convinced that unless
we give our students practice in self-government
through the management of their own affairs in
college, they cannot be expected to practice demo- |
cracy when they take their places in the commun-
ity.”
When State's system of student Soverninrent |
and student activity free from faculty control, as |
we now have, was originally set up, the administra- |
tion at that time, headed by the late Dr, Brubach-
er, had this basic democratic principle in mind.
Experience, they felt, is the best teacher, Let the
responsibility lie on each student, and if he does go
astray, he will be much the wiser after the conse-
quences have taken their toll. Nor has the admin-
istration once regretted the adoption of this policy
since its establishment, for at no time has a single
student failed to meet his obligations in student
affairs.
How many of us realize how fortunate State
college is to enjoy the freedom that we have in
running student affairs? We stand alone in being |
the only state institution of higher learning that
does not have any faculty censorship whatsoever
in student activity. Both the nine normal schools |
and the teacher's college at Buffalo are subject to
administrative control,
This mere fact, we think, is sufficient evidence
of the great trust that the administration of our
college places in us, the student body. It is the
duty, therefore, of everyone of us to perpetuate
and cherish that trust so that this freedom will
always endure for us as well as for those who are
to follow.

Study in Symphony
Commentstater.
(THE COMMENTSTATER is given the twidest
latitude as author of this column, though the view-
points expressed da not necessarily reflect those of
the Strate Couiece News./
The Activities office was the scene of quite a
furor the other day—as always—but this time the
arguing and bickering was “much ado about some-
thing.” The question under heated discussion wi
should the State college symphony orchestra be in-
stituted into our curriculum just as chorus or oper-
| etta, which have now found their regular place on
the school program?
At present the orchestra is an extra-curricular
activity to be indulged in if you have the talent,
the time, the interest, and the patience, after you
are all through with your regular school work. Of
course, there are many who feel that this particular
activity shouldn't have any preference over any
other outside-class activity. However, placing the
orchestra in the curriculum has its advantages, pro-
vided that the class be limited and admission be |about the
granted by try-outs.
In the first place, it would stabilize attendance,
thus facilitating rehearsals,
tice will happen more regularly when the students |™ent about
know that attendance is being taken. A good re-
hearsal depends upon everybody being there.
At present the members are working against a |
great many obstacles, such as need for a set time |The youngest of the people's choice

definite provision for this time in their class sched-
ules, they would overcome this difficulty. Moreover, |oF are we being acid, that its wal-
since they are putting in so much time, having three
rewarded with credit? |
The symphony orchestra has already proven its
worth by the inspiring program given in assembly
last year. Bernard Perlman and his colleagues have
worked hard to whip the group into shape, but un- |
less they can be assured of continued cooperation |
and enthusiasm for their orchestra, the life of this |
activity may be short-lived,
The Criti
e ritic a | guy turn when he feels a little bad,
Where is the rep and enthusiasm in State college?
Can't We put on better stunts? I thought so until
Campus night! Usually we give fairly presentable
plays but this year we somehow fell short.
Personally, I think the laurels should have gone |
to the sophomore class. Their stunt was cleverly writ- 1
ten and showed an intelligent knowledge of Shake- |
speare that was still more cleverly parody-ized.
It was peppy, forceful and comical. Paul Merritt
stole the show by looking more like Ferdinand the
Bull than Caesar, |
The frosh and juniors’ stunts ran close behind.
Bea Dower and Denny Hannon did the most stupen-
dous, spectacular and daring stunt ever done on the |
State college stage, when they took that nose dive
off the stage on the tandem. |
Bob Walter made the perfect Minerva. He had all |
the feminine pulchritude and grace of an elephant. |
And that isn't any damning criticism, for it was he
who carried the frosh stunt to its glorious finish,
The seniors took the leavings again. But that ts |
a good old senior tradition. We could expect nothing
more! It was a clever idea for a stunt but was not
carried out to an actable form. Indeed it was more
like a fifteen minute advertising program on the
radio, interspersed by musical interludes, The people
on the stage did not get a chance to act. They were
so much dead weight that could have been eliminated
The senior stunt was not too bad, in comparison
with the other stunts, for none was on a highly com-
mendable level,
The first Advanced Dramatics plays went off very
well, Congratulations to Shirley Van Valkenburgh for
her superb portrayal of an aged invalid, It was a
part that called for excellent acting ability, and Shir-
ley did give it her all.
Marilyn Groff and Beulah Gifford both did good
pieces of acting too. Miss Groff certainly was tops
as the glamorous actress. She made an exquisite pic-
ture on the stage and did an equally good plece of
work
Beulah did her part well too, You could practi-
cally feel her middle-aged sedentary nature when
she fussed about the old lady. Miss Bond is certainly
@ thorough and good managing director,
T! e second play was not equal to the first either
in its written form or its presentation. Doug Dillen-
beck was perhaps not too cautious in choosing his
two actors or the play,
The beer bottles gave the greatest appeal to the
college audience. Jack Vavasour Was poor as an ac-
tor, but he does have ability. He has the personal
appearance and good diction needed for an actor,
but he does not “let his emotions go” when he is put
up before an audience, He was too stiff, i}
Now, Pete Fulvio has the dramatic ability, but he |
needs to work on his diction, However, he did the
better acting in the second play, He was poised, He
slipped into his character easily and sustained it
throughout the entire play. Pete has plenty of ability

question that came to our atten-
tion just this week.
As a parting shot for the week, it
seems as if two fraternities are try-
ing to beat each other to the draw.
They're each throwing parties the
same night—and you know fresh-
men can't be at two places at once.)

Sophs Lead Rivalry
After Pushball Win
Times have changed since the first
Campus day back in 1921, but not
enough to erase that “old feel-
ing" one gets at this time of the
year after four weeks of routine
study and work. Where else can
one give vent to his emotions and
find out how the other fellow feels
about the same thing than in that
game of sanctioned homicide, col-
legiately called pushball?
The juniors overwhelmed a mot-
ley touch football squad of seniors
for a 19-13 victory to start the af-
ternoon off. In the second event
of the afternoon, a combination
team of juniors and freshmen de-
feated the senior-sophomore squad
in an exhibition hockey game.
By this time, the verdant fresh-
men, enthused by their hockey vic-
tory, had organized themselves in-
to a lively cheering section but their
cheers died out as the sophomore
women opened rivalry by breezing
through a relay race in record time
as the crowd waited impatiently for
the men to unleash their barbarian
brutality for the cause of two points.

they hopped their way to an easy

JR. M,
Add ambiguities: our statement
of last week in which we voiced
our opinion that Intramural coun-
cil’s paid official system is hardly
consistent with the aims of Intra-
mural sports,
Many misconstrued our comment
to be a scathing attack on the oper-
ation of Intramural council and
the men involved, which it most
definitely was not.
Actually no hidden meaning was
tucked away in its phrasing, Our
innocent remark carried nothing
beyond a lamenting that student
interest falls short of producing
free, voluntary officiating at intra-
|mural contests.
From the State School of Agri-
culture at Morrisville comes word
that the cross-country team with
which the Statesmen are booked
to clash tomorrow has copped two
of its three meets thus far this
season. The Aggies have downed
the Colgate frosh twice, while once
falling prey to the Syracuse year-
ling squad.

Finally the much awaited hour
arrived as MAA officials rolled out
the six foot ball (which has be-
come egg-shaped since last year),
After some more delay the game
began, only to provide the biggest
surprise of the afternoon as the
sophomores, almost without oppo-
sition, scored in less than two min-
utes of play. Before the verdant
freshmen, looking even greener than
ever, could recover from the shock
of the first attack, the sophs pushed
over another goal. In another min-

rainstorm which turned the Wash-

Last Saturday, the Purple and
Gold began the current season by
losing to Delhi 21-34. Delhi placed
men in the first, second, and third
places. This close placing made a
big difference in the final result,
‘The first State runner to finish was
Gene Agnello who took fourth
place. He was followed closely by
Bob Cooke, who clinched the num-
ber five spot, Frank Hansen and
Lou Francello captured seventh and
eighth positions. Manley took the
last position by placing tenth,
Slow Time
The time for this meet over a
short 2.4 mile course was a slow
17:33. Last season, the record for
the 3.4 course was set at 17:20.
The first showing of the season
had several bright spots which glim-
mered through all the gloom of de-
feat.
Gene Agnello’s finishing fourth
to lead the Statesmen was not too
surprising, Gene has been running
in great form during all of the trial
runs. The injury to his feet has
apparently healed and he will prove
a big asset to the team. Cooke and
Hansen lived up to previous expec-
tations. Bob captured the fifth
spot easily. Hansen uncorked a
brilliant spurt to nose out the Del-
hi man who was threatening both
Francello and him, Although Fran-
cello finished far down, it is logical
to expect much better running from
him. Ali of the men expect to run
better on a longer course of 3.8 over
which all the remaining meets will
be run.

Includes Bridge Club,
Dances, Athletics
For the first time in recent years, | }
the graduate students of State col-
lege have organized themselves into | §
‘@ class comparable to the class or-
ganizations of the undergraduate | i
body. At a meeting on Wednes-
day, October 18, Joseph Foley was
chosen president of the class, Other
officers are: vice-president, Anne
Brown; secretary, Jean Dusenbury; | §
and treasurer, Thomas Casey.
The class had its second dance
last night in the Commons of Haw-
ley hall and plan to have some sort
of gathering every two weeks thus
giving it a more extensive social
program than that of any of the
undergraduate classes,
As last year, the male students
will enter the intra-mural program
of MAA with both a basketball and
softball team. Many of the grad-
uates are looking forward to the
sports program and “hope to do as
well or better than last year” when
they were the top team in the bas-
ketball league, Dennis Peper, '39,
is the athletic director of the grad-
uates. They plan to play the win-
ner of the touch football league.
Among the other activities, a bridge
club will be formed and the grad-
uates will be able to participate in
a number of tournaments.
With 169 students in the class
plans have been made for what the
graduate students term, “a banner
year socially for the too often neg-
lected graduate students.” The aim
of the class is to bring the graduates
closer to the under-graduates who
generally regard them as outsiders,
The social committee will be a
revolving one to include every mem-
ber of the class some time during
the year,
Miss Moreland, dean of students,
Dr, Belk, professor of education,
and Mr, Bulger, personnel director,
are faculty advisors for the class.

Symphony Orchestra
To Present Concert
The State college symphony or-
chestra, now in its second season,
is planning to present a concert as
one of the assembly programs in the
near future, possibly before the
Christmas vacation, The selections
for the program have not been cho-
sen as yet, but they will be picked
from numbers now being rehears-
ed.
Started by the class of 1942, the |
symphony orchestra, a student pro-
ject from the start, has been rec-
ognized by the student body and
Music council, and has been allot-
ted a sum of $100 in its budget,
It is hoped that the orchestra
may accompany the chorus in its
spring concert when it presents
Boris Godounov. However, the or-
chestration is foreign, and there is
ome doubt as to whether it can be
ecured at a reasonable price.
Later in the year, the orchestra |
will present a concert of its own in,
an evening program.

to Fields where People
Live, Work & Achieve
Today there are about 1,000,000
cigar stores, drug stores, country and grocery stores where
you can buy cigarettes in the United States. These re-
tailers, and the jobbers who serve them, have built up
a service of courtesy and convenience unmatched by any other
industry catering to the American public’s pleasure.
Tuere ARE ANOTHER MILLION people who
are engaged directly or indirectly in the transportation of
cigarettes to every town, hamlet and crossroads.
Ir IS ESTIMATED fhat there are 1,602,000
tobacco farmers raising tobacco in 20 out of the 48
states. Good tobacco is one of the hardest crops to
raise and bring to market, requiring great skill and
patience from seed-bed planting to harvesting and cur-
ing. The modern tobacco farmer has done well the job
of constantly improving the quality of his product.
The AVERAGE LENGTH of service of the 13,230
people working in the Chesterfield factories, storage
houses, leaf-handling and redrying plants is over 10
years. This means that every step in the making of
Chesterfields, regardless of how small, is handled by peo-
ple who have had 10 years of experience and ability in
knowing their jobs.
Truty TOBACCO OPENS DOORS to fields where
people live, work and achieve, and Chesterfield takes
pride in its ever increasing part in this great industry that
is devoted entirely to the pleasure of the American public.
To SMOKERS, Chesterfield Cigarettes have
always said, and now repeat, that in no other cigarette
made can you find the same degree of real mildnessand
good taste, or the same high quality of properly cured
and aged tobaccos. Chesterfield Cigarettes are made
with one purpose only...to give smokers everywhere

Dr. Croasdale Presents Report
On General Health of Students
by Fred Ferrts
hmen might well consider the
hygiene department reports of the
past school year released by Dr.
Caroline Croasdale, professor of hy-
giene,
Tn them is a Umely warning of
the dangers which awall freshmen
after Campus day, “one bite on
hand by sophomore in rivalry treat-
ed.” And danger lurks on every side
with six cases of poison ivy and one
of dandruff, Five students were In-
Jured in automobile accidents while
six patients underwent operations
on the yeriform appendix, Seven
students are no longer troubled with
diseased Consils,
Advice Was sought for 2.204 Ills
and a total of 2,772 visits to the
hyuiene office offer a better under-
standing of the hygiene deparunent,
Dr, Croasdale was able to report
that there were “no serious defects
among the chiss of ‘39 to warrant
recommendation against certifica-
on for teaching.”
With the new plan of selective
admission, a complete health exum-
ination by the college physicians
{s required of every candidate. Each
year finds the general level of
health of every man increasing,
Sore throats and colds are re-
sponsible for a large number of the
office visits from women. Tooth-
aches, laryngitis, and tonsils also
rank high,
Men students sought consulta-
tion in large numbers for nose,
throat, and respiratory ills, and a
good number of men required ser-
vices for injuries received,
were vaccinated against small-
pox,
The largest single expense in the
Infirmary fund for refraction or
eye trouble, Each year from 80
to 100 students corr eye defects
by the use of glass
Fifty per cent of the freshman
class took the tuberculin test, In
the past five years only cue very
early case of tuberculosis was dis-
overed. The student withdrew from
ollege, recovered and returned to
complete college work.
The Infirmary fund provided for
the medical care of 235 illnesses out
of the college, The new plan, adopt-
ed last year by the Student associa-
Uon, provides an additional dollar
to the previous dollar and a half
contribution, "The new plan will
enable us Lo provide more generous
special care, hospitalizauion, and
nursing."
Dr. Croasdale offers several sug-
gestions at the end of the report.
More precaution al Frosh camp to
avold taking cold is advised, Last
pur fifty per cent of the students
turned with colds or sore throats,
Because of more favorable weather,
the colds were not so numerous
last’ month.
The last suggestion is that the
Infirmary fund be increased to $5.00
per student, Most colleges have
‘he larger assessment, which makes
possible a more complete respon-
sibility for medical care. "If we
could see our way clear to adopt
the $5.00 fee, we would be in line
with the precedent followed by most
advanced colleges,” ated Dr.
By the end of the year, all atu-

MAKE PLANS FOR SENIOR HOP TONIGHT
Walter Harper, president of the
general chairman of tonight's affair
, | social
senior class, and Joseph Cappiello,
at the Hotel Ten Eyck,
To the swishing of new gowns
and the crackle of stiff shirts,
the seniors will “hop” tonight;
“hop” to the solid swing and sen-
timentalism of Len Fennell and
his following of “jive” specialists,
From all indications based on past
performances, the class of 1940
will enjoy its dancing to the
utmost,
Fennell brandishes a baton bi-
weekly at the George F. Pavil-
jon in Johnson City where such
bands as Glenn Miller of “ser-
enade"” fame, Tommy Dorsey,
who tackles a trombone hard
and low, and Artie Shaw who
“began the Beguine,” have lately
seen service,
With constant playing the Fen-
nell outfit has become a well
organized group which plays with
the precision of a forty dollar
micrometer, According to late:
reports by Santi Porcino, ‘39,
who heard him last week, Fen-
Len Fennell, Featuring Latest Arrangements,
To Play Both Sweet and Swing Music Tonight
nell is offering nationally popu-
lar arrangements ‘of “Little
Brown Jug," “Begin the Be-
guine,” “Back Bay Shuffle,”
“South of the Border,” and the
lastingly solid “One o'Clock
Jump.” For an added measure
of dance delight he will toss in
a few personal concoctions built
around “Honeysuckle Rose” and
“I Can't Give You Anything But
Love,”
A bit of human interest has
found its way into the band in
the form of one Al Brinkman, a
sightless pianist, who gives’ a
performance that ranks with the
best. Tamer Aswad sweetens up
the sentimental sendouts in a
mellow baritone voice of the Ken-
ny Sargent type.
The seniors are presenting an
orchestra whose music will be
“running through your mind"
"day in and day out" for some
time to come,
Thanksgiving Recess
Dr. John M, Sayles, acting
president of the college, has an-
hounced that ‘Thanksgiving va-
cation will begin at noon, No-
vember 22, one weeks earlier than
scheduled in the catalog.
