College Faculty
Visits Conclaves
During Holidays

State Has Representa’
at Syracuse, Columbus
and Washington

State college faculty members were
well distributed throughout the eas-
tern states during the Christmas
recess. The principal's conference
at Syracuse, the annual meeting of
the American Historical Society at
Washington, D, C., and the “Parlia-
ment of Sciences” at Columbus,
Ohio were all attended by various
members of our faculty,

Dr, Robert W. Frederick, prin-
cipal of the Milne school, Dr, J.
Allan Hicks, professor of guidance,
Dr. C. C. Smith, assistant professor
of education, Mr. Paul G, Bulger,
secretary of the student employment
bureau, and Mr. Warren I. Dens-
more, supervisor of English, repre-
sented State at the fifty-fifth an-
nual holiday conference of the As-
sociated Academic Principals of the
State of New York conducted at
Syracuse, December 27-29,

The theme of the principal's con-
ference was “The Extension of Pub- |
lic Education.” Consideration of |
this theme and the discussion of

‘Queen Mary’ At KDR
Committed To Drydock

The boys from Western ave-
nue came home last Monday to
receive a very frigid welcome at
their house. It seems that the
“Queen Mary” (the furnace un-
der camouflage) had been sab-
otaged during the farewell blow~-
out which took place there last
December 14—and 15th,

An emergency housing problem
was immediately solved when the
other fraternities cooperated to
give shelter, It is rumored that |/)
some of the lads even managed
to secure room in a sorority
house (lucky them?), However
with delicate salvaging operation
on a scale similar to the raising
of the Squalus, the “Queen Mary”
Was soon put in a seaworthy con-
dition again, ,

problem featured the general and
sectional meetings. Highlight of |
the business meeting was the adop-
tion of a resolution changing the
association's name from the Asso-
ciated Academic Principals to Asso-
ciated Principals. Ten years ago}
a similar resolution was defeated |
by an overwhelming margin, The
new proposal passed without de-
bate. |

Opening day, Dr, George M, Wiley
associate commissioner of secondary
education sounded the keynote:
“More Intensive Cultivation.” Re-
ports followed on the testing pro-
gram, Regents Inquiry, and health
and physical education problem.

Quickly Blocks Passage
of New Measure

Opponents of the much discussed
Francello amendment resorted to a
little used provision of our consti-
tution in a successful attempt to
block the measure’s passage during
Friday's business meeting of the
Student association. At stake was
the principle whether or not non-
taxpaying students might vote and
participate in Student association
aflairs

Debate Thorough, ¥

Twice postponed in’ order that
time fer sufficient deliberation
might be assured. the proposition
was discussed on the floor for more

Public Address System
Will Begin Operations

The public address system
which was voted upon in assem-
bly before Christmas recess is
now being installed in our build-
ings. The wiring will be com-
pleted during the examination
period and the system will be
ready to operate at the begin-
ning of the second semester.

Room 207 in Draper hall, cen- |)
(ral control room of the system, }|
will contain a victrola, radio, and
microphone, Announcements will
be recorded and amplified during
the day. The repetition of the
same voice thus effected will
make the announcement official.

The system was given an ex-
perimental tryout Friday, for
dancing after the Siena game.
Many complained that the music
could not be heard in all parts of
the Commons and they said that
more speakers and experience are
needed before this part of the
system will be acceptable.

Students, however, are in favor
of the idea as a whole and recog-
nize the system as a step in mak-

nomics. “For one thing, there has
been a shift in the type of study,
from what I'd consider the imprac-
tical courses to those of more util-
itarian natures. Students have be~
come more broadened, themselves,
They do more traveling and as a
rule, have more money, They read
much more than their predecessors,
for sheer enjoyment as well as from
necessity in their courses.

“My most interesting experience
in teaching has been teaching, If
you students of State have as much
pleasure as I haye had teaching,
then truly life at State is a song.”

A Stitch in Time —

With the state legislature convening again, a
few of us may recall memories of the budget cut
and State’s venture into lobbying last spring. Up
to this point, with the exception of a smaller
freshman class and a student-sponsored directory,
we students have yet to feel the pinch of the bud-
get cut. In view of the fact that at least a thousand
dollars was slashed from the maintenance funds, we
wonder how long this freedom will last.

Our sister institution and the normal schools
have already suffered a curtailment of activities,
At New Paltz no events are scheduled for the even-
ing, and the entire campus is left in darkness to
cut down on electric bills, Likewise, Buffalo per-
mits but one evening a week for social affairs.
Also, all possible expenditures for supplies are cut
to the bone,

We at State, it seems, are quite fortunate in
being able to carry on a full program of activities
There is much that we students can do to prevent
this program from suffering curtailment, First we
can adopt a policy of rigid economy for electricity
and supplies furnished by the college. By remem-
bering to turn off lights when leaving a room and
whenever possible, by scheduling events for the day-
time instead of an evening hour, we can help to
diminish expenditures for Secondly,
by being extremely careful not to damage college
property we can save the expense of replacements.
Economy now may prove very helpful later in the

In searching for a possible reason for the unpre-

wonder if it is not due to the excellent training we
receive in our political science courses. Also there
is the experience gained from the Forum of Politics,
where many a heated debate has taken place over
legislation or parliamentary procedure, At the pres-
ent rate, not only will we soon be well-informed in

STATE COLLEGE NEWS, JANUARY 12, 1940

Student Government

Commentstater

(THE COMMENTSTATER is given the widest
latitude as author of this column, though the view-
pointa expressed do not necessarily reflect those of
the State Cotton News.)

We, the students of State college, have a demo-
cratic student government. We have a constitution to
guide that student government. Our constitution has
been evolved through trial and error over a long period
of years. It is the duty of the officers running our
assemblies to adhere to that constitution.

Our constitution expressly states that a student be-
comes a member of the Student association upon pay-
ment of the blanket tax. Therefore, literally speaking,
everyone who votes on an amendment to our constitu-
tion must have paid his or her student tax. Further-
more, our constitution states that a majority vote of
the Association is necessary to amend our constitution.
This, in effect, does not mean a majority vote of all
students who are attending the assembly at which the
vote is taken—but a majority vote of all students who
have paid their student tax and are members of the
Student association, regardless of whether or not they
are attending the meeting.

To the casual reader it would seem that we would
never be able to amend our constitution. But, stop
and think! Do you want to hand over the control of
your student government to a simple majority of the
few members of the association who are present and
voting at the assembly. If this were true, seniors who
are practice teaching would have no voice in their
own government, as they are excused from assembly
and are not present in assembly to protect their rights.
The constitution, by requiring a majority of the asso-
ciation to amend the constitution, is safeguarding the
rights of all students who cannot be in assembly. Yes,
members of the association can thank their lucky
stars that members of past associations did look far
enough ahead to protect us from crackpots who would
change the supreme law of our student government at
the slightest provocation.

The Critic a~

“Body, Boots, and Britches,” by Harold W. Thompson,
530 pp... . Philadelphia... J. B. Lippincott Com-
pany.

Dr, Thompson, in “Body, Boots, and Britches,” has
collected an amazing group of stories, ballads, and folk-
tales about our staid, sedate state of New York. He
recounts these tales in an easy, informal, genial
manner appropriate to folklore. The reader will find
his interest heightened by the frequent mention of
familiar place-names,

In what seems an almost inexhaustible store of
folk-tales, Dr, Thompson takes us on adventures with
tricksters, whalers, sailors, “canawlers,"” lumbermen,
mountaineers, soldiers, and murderers in a breathless
array through the ensuing chapters, interspersed with
numerous ballads and songs. The deeds, sayings, and
picturesque lives of the pioneer folk of New York
state give us a new conception of the first, imagina-
tive settlers of our land. '

Dr. Thompson includes an extensive appendix en- |
titled “Who Told You?” which gives the sources of

—B, Franklin,

As a graduate of State who re-
turns often to the clamor crowded
halls I find myself criticizing the
State students because they are
textbook scholars interested in dates
and superficialiaties rather than
solid complete understanding.

If Sinclair Lewis were to people
his Main Street with the small shal-
low characters necessary, I believe
he could find their prototypes in
State. Let me say I am not critic-
izing all the students at State nor
all the faculty but I believe that a
great many of the State’s occu-
pants are but that—and they think
little of any thing which is beyond
their little world.

In returning I find their knowl-
edge of foreign affairs limited to
their notes given by a professor who
may or may not know what he Is
talking about, and these are ac-
cepted as solid truth by the student
body's “Charlie McCarthy's.” If they
have any other knowledge of the
foreign situations it is limited to
newspaper headlines (and probably
Hearst's at that).

Students at State are too prone |
to ostracize or at least ridicule}
any student who's different and
doesn’t fit their pattern for living.
A person who thinks differently, who
reads more widely or enjoys other
pleasures is thought of a being a
“queer duck.” All you have to be

which the students have set up—and
even the dean couldn't save you if
you deviate in the least from their
well worn path.

Turn to their hobbies and pleas-
ures even in that they do not have
a solid background on which to
build. They pride themselves on
knowing about swing and jazz. Yet, |
most of them have never heard of |

Constitutional Crises

January 8, 1940
To the Members of the Student Body:

In the last few weeks, we have heard much ado about
the meaning of the word “democracy” and the true nature
of democratic procedure. After studying the present
constitution and talking with various students, the follow-
ing truths seem evident.

First, there is no reason for a student who is a good
citizen to come to our assembly without the privilege of

voting. The only qualification is that of payment of the
blanket tax, If he has means, naturally he should pay the;
fee. If he hasn’t, he may be excused from payment by
Finance board upon application and explanation. This
waiver gives him the privilege of suffrage in assembly.
Payment of student tax is, then, a duty demanded of the
citizens of this college; if they do not pay or do not use
the above privilege of excuse, they are not good citizens
and, therefore, do not deserve consideration. If this atti-
tude seems harsh, one has only to refer to the practical
application of democracy in our State and Federal govern-
ments which have been used as examples in recent dis-

ns on the amendment to Article IIL of our own con

Second, it has been pointed out that the present

Article XI should be amended to read:

“This constitution and its by-laws may

be amended by a two-thirds vote of the

members of the Association voting.”
This procedure is well in keeping with the principles set
forth in Robert’s Rules of Order. In organizations having |
a non-compulsory attendance, our present procedure, that |
of requiring a majority vote of all members of the organi-
zation, is recommended. However, when the attendance
is compulsory, only two-thirds of the votes cast should be
demanded. The reason for this is that in the latter case
the body is always assured of a near-perfect attendance.
There is no chance to “railroad” legislation without the
knowledge of the major proportion of the members of the
organization.

from 10:00 until 2:00 o'clock.

Enes Novelli, '41, chairman of the
music committee for the event, has
announced that the group has con-
tracted with Roy Eldridge and his
orchestra to supply music for the
formal dance, Although no official
announcement has been made, it is
expected by those in charge that
bids will be $3.00 or $3.50.

Roy Eldridge, colored band leader
with an all-colored organization, was
rated the sixth best trumpeter in

To the Editor of the Srarm Cottear
News:
Dear Sir:

In harmony with the practice of
the day, we students of State col-
lege have been experimenting with
self-government. Is this self-gov-
ernment genuine? The late Presi-
dent Brubacher seemed to think so.
In an address to the student
body, he commented on the growth
of the student association, saying
that the administration would make
no attempt to curtail the work of
the student body provided it kept
within its own sphere (i,e., in mat-
ters pertaining solely to the students
themselves),

I am wondering if the administra-

dues, would not be recommended
for a teaching position.

In the first place, who willed that
there should be a student tax, class,
ete. Was it not a creation of the
students themselves? Does it not
follow then, that those who made
such a ruling should be the ones to
deal with problems arising out of it.
And would it not have been more
logical if the administration had
recommended its ruling and the
student body adopted or rejected it?
Last year the student body passed

Dear Editor:

As I understand it, music is con-
sidered among the “arts.” We have
a Dramatics and Arts association
which sponsors performers in every
artistic field except music, These
performers, so far as I can find out,
have been procured entirely from
sources outside the college. We also
have a Music association which
sponsors, among other things, one
musical performance by outside
talent, as well as several concerts
by various musical organizations
within the college,

On the basis of these facts, I
suggest:

1. That Dramatics and Arts asso-

ciation have as its purpose the
presentation of worthwhile figures
in various fields of art, including
music, from professional sources
outside State college.
2, That Music association devote
its activities to the promotion and
presentation of musical talent with-
in State college. With the recent
establishment of a student sym-
phony orchestra, the possibility for
Music association to insure its cul-
tural influence is increased at least
two-fold. Thus Music association
could become a truly musical group, |
not merely a clerical body for the
purpose of procuring artists of
various degrees of virtuosity to pre-
sent before the Student association.

Lloyd Kelly, president of the Stu-
dent association, has stated that the
rest of the assembly will be de-
voted to voting for the Pedagogue

(Continued from page 1, column 1)
regardless of tax-paying status. An
appeal to his ruling was denied by
the Student association.

Kelly announced the final vote as
442 affirmative, 276 negative, 318 not
voting. In response to an inquiry
concerning the margin necessary
for passage of an amendment, he
ruled thatonly a majority of those
voting was required. This was im-
mediately challenged by Murray
who insisted that a majority of
the association had to approve.

Instead of appealing Kelly's rul-
ing to the Student association, Mur-
ray pointed out that the question
involved an interpretation of the
constitution, He demanded that the
ruling be referred to the judicial
body of the association, Myskania.
The decision handed down by Mys-
kania reversed Kelly's interpreta-
tion. The judicial body's decision
was based on Article XI of the con-
stitution which reads: “This consti-
tution and its by-laws may be
amended by a majority vote of the
association... . "

As a result, passage of the Fran-
cello Amendment during the 1939-
1940 session is virtually an impos-
sibility, Rules of order prohibit
the re-introduction of any rejected
measure during the session in which
it was defeated. The only other
avenue is to force reconsideration.
This can be accomplished only after
a resolution to reconsider is intro-
duced by a student who voted with
the negative on the amendment, and
@ majority approval of such action
is secured.

Still in doubt is the method of
voting to be employed. According to
the constitution, only regularly en-
rolled and special students of the

Niagara so far has won five and

plunged into the heavy part of its
schedule. Easy victories have been
recorded over Toronto and St.

petition was encountered in knock-

and St. Mary's (Minn.). The team's
only loss so far was at the hands of
a strong John Carroll of Cleveland

Vignola and Frank Kearney, the|
former having scored eight points|
against State in last year's game.|
Steve Slabak, Henry Campbell and
Dan DeSantis are the other mem-

a year ago. The men who ran the
score up against us in 1939 are all
gone. Up from the standout frosh
aggregation, however, are eight men,
among them one Nick Grunzwelg, a
mere six-foot-five ball player and
Don McInerney only six-foot-three.
All told, Niagara will have thirteen

Ellerin and Frament
Lead State’s Attack
Before Record Crowd

Last Friday night, just about the
largest audience that has packed
Page hall in many a day was treat-
ed to what was undoubtedly one of
the greatest games ever played on
that floor. The tremendous crowd,
in a bedlam from start to finish,
watched State suffer a 52-45 defeat
at the hands of an excellent Siena
team in a contest replete with good
shot-making, good floor play, and
enough fight for five games.

State's play definitely hit its peak
of the present season against the
strong Loudonville outfit but the
team was up against a club a bit
superior in everything but fight.
Ellerin had a great night as he
clicked with beautiful lefty hook
shots and threw in 14 points while!
Frament followed with his 11 tallies,
although out on personals early in
the fourth quarter. Howie Tucker,
Siena's much acclaimed scoring ace

excellent guarding. Free throws also
played a great part in deciding the
contest. State, with a terrible 11
out of 27 record from the foul line
could have made a great bid for
victory with a better percentage.

Siena went off to an early lead
with Crummey leading the way, but
State came back fart to tie it up.
From there, the victcrs held a slight
edge until their late first half
splurge made it 28-19. Three quick
points for the home team put the
count at 28-22 at half time. Fra-
ment continued his phenomenal foul
shooting as he threw in all 5 of his
fouls in the first half. His total in
two games (Hamilton and Siena)
went to 15 out of 16, a rarity on any
team. Led by Ellerin, Frament, and
Havko, the home force rallied in
great style to tie the game up and
then pushed out to a 37-35 lead at
the third quarter mark, With Fra-
ment and Brauner out on personals,
the team was unable to withstand
Siena's surge during the final ses-
sion as the visitors turned on the
heat.

It was a good game. There's no

Apparently the Siena boys were
as scared of Frament with his 22
point Hamilton game spree as our
outfit was of Tucker. Close guard-
ing of Will led to three successive
fouls early in the game. Will, in-
cidentally, exhibited his usual eagle
eye from the foul line in sinking all
three for State's first scoring,

From a spectator's standpoint the
College House-Potter Club contest
was a thriller. The score stood
at 13-13 at the intermission, Both
teams battled evenly through the
second half until a CH surge (mak-

to play) seemingly had brought vic-
tory to the Central avenue team,
But for the second successive con-
test, Potter came back to tally five
points and tie the score. Carney

’s Poet, to Tell

Anecdotes and Sing Folk-Songs

by William Dorrance

Some time ago one of America’s
greatest pocts left his home in
Michigan for a lecture tour of Am-
erica,” Next Tuesday night, that
me poet and troubadour, Carl
Sundburg, will be in Page hall

For Sandburg this is one among
nuiny tours. In them he finds re-
luxation from the strenuous job of
writing, that is his life. His pro-
grum includes anecdotes, Lincoln |
lore, readings from his poems, and |
singing of ditties and ballads. to|
his own accompaniment.

Sandburg does not lecture to his
audience. Instead he treats them
as if they were friends around his |

own hearth. He jokes, laughs,
reads, und sings in’a sweet bari-|
tone. For musical accompaniment

he strums his own guitar
Sandburg represents American!
life today just as Lincoln and Twain
represented it yesterday. ‘The au-
thor of Chicago is called the "peo-
ple’s poet.” Probably he is the
college student's most popular poet,
He is ranked as one of the leading
biographers of Abraham Lincoln.
Twenty years ago the Michigan
poet began his latest work, The}
War Years, a four volume biogra- |
phy of Lincoln. Published only
recently, critics acclaimed it as one
of the greatest biographies ever
written, This work thrusts Sand-
burg to the fore as a candidate for
the Pulitzer prize, It has been!
mentioned as being superior to}

{and the laughter comes.

=
Marquis James’ Andrew Jackson,

a former Pulitzer prize winner,
| ‘The troubadour's visit here will
climax the Lincoln holiday for State
students as he will appear the day
following Lincoln's birthday, As a
consequence he will emphasize Lin-
coln, a favorite subject.

Dr, Thompson, a personal friend
and author of a present best-seller,
Body, Boots and Britches, will in-
troduce the people's poet to the
audience, While he remains in Al-
bany, Sandburg will stop at the
home of Mr. and Mrs, Louis Jones.

Mr. Jones, u friend and associate
of the lecturer, describes him as a
“powerful man with a strong face
topped by white hair.” Mr. Jones
adds, “he has @ marvelous sense of
humor, His lips simply curl up
There {a
no pose to the man. He ix one of
America’s best poets, yet he remains
unassuming and modest. He is ag
simple und easy today as he was
thirty years ago, He is the kind of
man whom everyone likes, Chil-
dren love him.”

Sandburg identifies himself with
the simple things, the jigs, and the
songs of America, His poetry has
dealt with the vigour and power of
this country. One of his greatest
poetical works was the loose and
flowing, The People, Yes, Almost
everyone has read Ohicago, His
choice of Lincoln as a subject gives
an insight into Sandburg’s love of
the common, earthy flavor in man,
