In addition to aiding the students
of State College in preparing term

it will also glve the student
aecess to the varied views on cu
rent controversial issues. Forum
asks that the publications be re-
placed in their proper order and
kept in the file room:
Limit News Space Next Week
The NEWS Board requests that all
organizaions who wish to have ar-
licles printed in next week's issue
of the paper bring the tiformation
into the P.O. as early next week as
possible. Limited space will make
it necessary to cut down the num-
ber of articles printed.
State Aquires Holy Halo,
Angels’ Newest Creation
State College NEWS hails the
appearance of a rival in the
field of journalistic endeavor,
the St. Mary's “Halo,” named
no doubt, for the standard
wearing apparel of all St. Mary's
men. This newspaper is pub-
lished weekly by the occupants
of the three State College Dorms
at St. Mary's housing project.
The “Halo” is stuffed by
George Poulos. Walt Schick and
Bob Tucker, Editor-in-Chief
and Associate Editors respec-
tively. On the typing and pro-
duction end of the staff are
Peter Talarico, Bill Solon and
Sy Sundick. Harvey Milk is the
“Halo's” Business Manager,
There are two regular feat-
ures of the “Halo,” a Chaplain's
Corner by the mysterious T.S.
for gripes, etc., and a column
of social events by J. J. Morris
and Pete Wilson. The “Halo”,
a two-paged, mimeographed
paper, also prints items of
students, other than St. Mary's
sports and College news. Many
students, have expressed a deep
interest in the paper.
Rienow To Discuss
National Doctrine;
Re-sing Scheduled
“Love Me, Love My Dogma" is
the subject of an dr to be
given in assembly this morning by
Dr. Robert Rienow, sistant Pro-
fessor of Political Science. This
topic concerns the relation of na-
tional dogma and doctrine to the
success or failure of the United
Nations. Following Dr. Rienow's
speech, the freshman class will pre-
sent a re-sipg of traditional State
College songs.
Except for approximately two
years spent in the United States
Army, Dr, Rienow has been teach-
ing at State College since 1936,
when he was installed as an In-
Structor of Political Science. Dur-
ing this time he has had published
about twenty-five articles and two
books, These are “The Nationality
of a Merchant Vessel," dealing with
maritime law, published by Colum-
bia Press in 1937, and ‘alling All
“itizens,” a hjgh school civics text-
book, which was published in 1943,
and is being used in many large city
schools in Chicago, Detroit, St
et, Louis, Cincinnati, and other cities
ot the Mid-West

party, sponsored by Myskania and
Smiles, is open to the entire student
body and faculty, The entertain-
ment will consist of story-telling
and cartooning for the very young,
a skit and vaudeville acts for the
the older children and refreshments
and presents for all.
Early next week, the drive will
begin for gifts. As in the past, each
class will be assigned a specific
age group and boxes will be placed
in lower Draper to receive the con-
tributions. A special faculty box
will be placed in Paddy's office.
Next Friday, the hat will be passed
in Assembly to purchase refresh-
ments for all the children of the
Home.
Anyone who wants to contribute
but finds that he doesn’t have the
time to purchase a gift, may do so
by contacting any member of Mys-
kania who will make the purchase
for him,
Christmas cards will be distribut-
ed in Assembly and to the various
group houses. A list of children’s
names will be posted on the Mys-
kania board and everyone is asked
by the sponsors of the party to
send one or more cards. Anyone
interested may help with the pro-
gram by contacting either Charlie
Miller or any member of Myskania.
To insure an even distribution of
gifts for the orphans, each class has
been assigned a different age group.
The Sophomores should buy gifts
for children ranging from 3 to 6,
freshmen, 7 to 11, Juniors 12 to 14
and Seniors 15 to 19.

spoke of this to our pantry maid,
where-upon my fair wife would wax
wroth, and hide my fur tippet on

Tuesday—Oh, but these sorority
wenches and their strange customs
are far beyond my poor compre-
hensions! Upon my first visit to
this place, I did perceive a fine sense
of organization among them. Most
noteworthy among their enterprises
was that of escorting, in small arm-
jes, the freshmen women, as these
neophytes went hither and yon in
their helter skelter fashion of edu-
cation. This I thought most charit-
able of the sorority women, as it was
no doubt for the purpose of allaying
homesickness in the newcomers,
Forsooth and now all is changed!
Methinks that there must have been
@ great falling out between the two
groups of girls, for there is nought
of speaking or communication be-
tween them anymore. This am I
sad to see, for it truly doth seem
unwarranted that, in this confused
world, such an infinity of small bar-
riers be raised amongst groups like
these, It would seem far more pleas-
sant to me that these sorority wom-
en might even ask some of the fresh-
men to join their organizations.
Wednesd2y—Was enticed this eve-
ning to attend a gathering of many
students in the gymnasium, The
purpose of all this seemed to be the
watching of ten young men, who,
scantily attired, fought each other
for possession and manipulation of
a leather ball. By my faith and the
crowd grew much excited over which
“team” had the ball!
But I, truth to tell, was more in-
terested in the game that was played
in the Intervals of the young men's
game, As soon as the men would
cease their running and jumping,
four young maidens, dressed all in a
similar manner, would run out upon
the floor, and start a series of rhy-
thmic waving of arms and leaping,
accompanied by shouting in a
strange language. Much astounded
was I to see the crowd join in and
encourage this hysterical form of ex-
pression I found one girl in par-
‘ticular most fascinating. She seemed
to have discovered the secret of per-
petual motion, and was intent upon
observing all the forms of this game
with equal vigor. I asked a youth
sitting beside me if he had any ex-
planation for her frantic activity,
He gave me a most cryptic reply.
“Aw, she just loves life.”
Indeed, later that evening, as I
supped my pot of tea, it occurred to
me that an excessive “love of life”
was as plausible an explanation as
any for the outlandish behavior of
these State students,

his letter. It seems rather petty to legislate against.
this group of fellows who have already doné ‘so much
for the school, without considering its legal aspect
in the light of the fact that they aren’t exempt from
the student tax, Perhaps this year there is an un-
usually high number of ex-lettermen playing intra-
mural basketball, but still every man who has shown
any interest has been given an opportunity to play,
a cures not much excuse to pass any “sour grapes”
ruling.
SEE YOU AT OCKIES
Driven to who knows where last Tuesday afternoon
were those accustomed to having a pleasurable time
dancing in the Commons while waiting for late trains,
since music was forbidden by the administration.
Of course the half dozen (by actual count) students
in the library at two thirty had to be considered even
though it was the day before vacation. Only trouble
is at the other places music costs money and refresh-
ments, too, must be bought. Too bad we can’t work
out a system whereby Campus Commission may buy
records for a few of the local “establishments” where
the students have to go to relax.
CHRISTMAS IS COMING
SMILES is giving all the girls of SCT a chance to
do something worthwhile by providing them with
yarn with which to knit small things for the chil-
dren at the Albany Home. Can’t think of a better
reason to give instructors, either. No argyle socks,
Please! SMILES is to be congratulated for this idea,
Heartfelt thanks this week from the students who
frequent the library go to those responsible for open-
ing the door by the entrance to the Commons.
Not quite so happy are the practice teachers and
those who have nine o'clock classes in Milne,
Several mornings each week Page Hall is locked and
to be on time, one must brave whatever weather hap-
pens to be occurring outside in a dash to Milne minus
any outdoor clothing.
Just for the record we are all in favor of sororities
and fraternities in general; we think they do a lot of
physical and moral good for both the school and the
individual. However, the sororities in particular do
have a very poor rushing system, in practice, at least,
if not in theory, and we still belleve what we sald in
the last issue to be the facts.
CHAIRS YOU CAN SIT ON
The committee on refurnishing the Commons re-
ported to Student Council yesterday. This is the com-
mittee set up in a special (hectic as usual) assembly
near the end of last semester, after the original ap-
propriation had beed withdrawn. With the increas-
ing frequency of the cry “Those damn chairs, I've
got another run,” there should be quick action.
Also in the line of unfinished business is the huge
Student Facilities Fund about which everyone theor-
izes but no one knows, In the meantime the Commut-
ers are still walking the streets nights.
Let’s show up for the games tonight and Tomor-
row and get behind the team. Freshmen women
should all come after buffet suppers, We predict two
victories this week. Don't forget to bring your stu-
dent tax ticket,
Don't, don’t, don't delay. Buy those Christmas
jemi-Formal tickets and join the crowd making this,
our biggest affair in a long, long time, a huge success,

State To Enter
Undergraduates
In Bridge Contest
An invitation to compete in the
1948 National Intercollegiate Bridge
Tournament was recently received
by State College, as well as 317 other
colleges and universities accredited
by the Association of American Uni-
versities, Plans for the tournament
were announced by Nelson B, Jones,
director of Faunce House, Brown
University, and Chairman of the
Intercollegiate Bridge Tournament
Committee.
In the near future the rules for
State’s participants will be an-
nounced, according to Diane Web-
ber, '50, chairman of the committee
in charge of the tournament. Reg-
ulations as announced by the Inter-
collegiate Committee are as follows:
only undergraduates are eligible to
play in the duplicate Contract
Bridge event for the title and tro-
phy; a preliminray round will be
played by mail in February, and
the sixteen highest ranking pairs
will meet for the face-to-face finals
at the Drake Hotel in Chicago on
April 23 and 24.
There is no cost’ to the competing
colleges or the players, since the
event is supported by the Inter-col-
legiate Bridge Tournament commit-
tee. which is composed of a group of
college alumni and officials inter-
ested in developing Contract Bridge
as an intercollegiate sport in which
men and women can compete on an
equal basis.

in régard to the proper procedure
for the filing of insurance claims.
In answer to these inquiries, Don-

dure.
If a policy holder Is taken ill at
home and treated by his family
doctor, or any other doctor, he
should secure an itemized bill from .
him. Upon the student’s return to
school, he may obtain a claim blank
and an envelope, addressed to Ar-
thur R. Kapner, from the Medica!
Office, located on the first floor of
Husted. Within a week after mail-
ing the blank, he will receive a
check for his expenses.
The Insurance Committee has
announced that policies have been
distributed to some policy-holders.

On The Bench
The end of Thanksgiving: vaca-
tion may mean back to a lot of
“toll and trouble” but it also means
the opening of the basketball and
winter’ sports. season. As far as
basketball is concerned, it got off
to a big’ bang with the varsity play-
ing three home games and Intra-
mural WAA and MAA leagues
starting practices.
Winter sports ought to be getting
under way now that Jack Frost has
taken a permanent residence here
for the next few months. This nat-
urally brings up the point of where
such sports wili take place. In the
past, Washington Park has been
the center of what activity there
was in respect to skiing and skating.
Tsk, Tsk...
A few ski enthusiasts tried to or-
ganize a group.at the beginning of
the year to hire a bus and spend
weekends further north for the sole
purpose of skiing. Naturally such
a plan would arouse much criticism
and after several slanderous re-
marks about a co-ed weekend the
plans were dropped. If we are too
immature in mind and skill then
perhaps the hills in Washington
Park are high enough, but we be-
lieve “Ski Weekends” would defin-
itely add much to our winter sports
program.
“Gay” Blades
Now let's take a look at the skat-
ing situation, Most important is a
convenient location; one that a ma-
jority of the students gould get to
without too much trouble and a
place that would always be in a
condition for use, As far as Wash-
ington Park goes we feel that it
fails in both respects, A satisfac-
tory solution lies in flooding the
field between the two dormitories.
Accessibility for students has been
demonstrated in the past by its
use for hockey, softball, volleyball,
etc., all of which have had excellent
turnouts. The main difficulty is
the first flooding but there is little
doubt that the good Fire Depart-
ment of Albany would come to our
rescue. Flooding the field semi-
weekly would thereafter be a sim-
ple matter.
The “rink” would offer excellent
opportunities for skating parties
plus a good foundation for the Win-
ter Carnival later on in the year.
The problem and the solution has
been presented, what we need now
is action!!! WAA, MAA attention!!
Food For Thought

section along on Varsity trips.

date for the first meeting will be

Slated to see pienty of action
with the State Cagers, who open
thelr intercollegiate season tonight
against Mass. State, are two of last
year’s veterans, Jack Kirby and
“Link” Maréello.
John Kirby, who makes his home
in Remsen, is one of the two sen-
jors on the team. Jack went to
Fredonia State before coming to
State last year and also played var-
sity ball in High School, Standing
63” he is the biggest man on: the
squad. Jack usually plays the
“bucket” where his height serves
to best advantage.
Abraham L. Marzello was one of
the freshmen that played varsity
for State last year. “Link” comes
from Troy where he played foot-
ball, basketball and baseball for
Lansingburg High, He is 5/6” tall
and weighs 160 lbs. and more than
makes up for his lack of height by
his speed and skill in ball handling.
“Marsity Club’ Formed
For State Lettermen
Before Christmas vacation, it is
expected that the constitution and
elections for a Varsity Club for
State College will be held. Formed
to promote interest and advance-
ment of intercollegiate athletics,
the club will not be a part of MAA.
An automatic invitation will be
tendered to all those State College
men who receive their Varsity “S.”
The constitution, which is now
being wrjtten contains the provision
that, while it is not to be a direct
part of MAA, still it will assist
through publicity and by promoting
varsity athletics.
