Christmas Party Succeeds,
Thanks To Well-Wishers
Think back, all you with that
“vacation's-over” look, to the
second assembly before Christ-
mas and liberation, and you'll
remember dropping your last
pieces of silver into the box pass-
ed among us for contributions
for the Christmas party given to
the kids at the Albany Home for
Children. Well, Myskania would
like to let you all know what a
big success this affair turned out
to be, thanks to your own gen-
erosity, co-operation on the part
of many students, and also to a
bit of the Christmas spirit re-
vealed by Albany merchants con-
tacted for refreshments.
Special recognition goes to
‘Paul Anast's store, which con-
tributed fifty-four pounds of
candy absolutely free of charge,
and to Brook’s Doughnut Store,
which donated one-half of all
the doughnuts purchased.
And in case you were wonder-
ing about the final resting place
of those odd nickels and dimes
that always turn up after such
affairs, the probable outcome,
says Myskania, will be their re-
turn to Smiles, the organization
responsible for such heart-
warming enterprises as this one.
IGC Organizes
To Coordinate
Council Activities
Inter-Group Council will direct
an observation of National Broth-
erhood Week during February, spon-
sored by the National Conference of
Christians and Jews in an attempt
to promote national unity and broth-
erhood.
Robert Freyer and William Dum-
bleton, Sophomores, will act as Co-
Chairmen. Dr. Plager of Siena Col-
lege, @ member of the New York
State Commission Against Racial
Discrimination, has been scheduled
as a speaker for the observation.
The recent re-organization of
Inter-Group Council to permit co-
ordination of all activities was an-
nounced by Joy Simon, '49, Chair-
man of Inter-Group Council, at the
beginning of the year. A co-ordin-
ating board with a member from
each class will direct and relate all
netivities of the council. The board
consists of the following: Roger
Nielson, '48, Joy Simon, ‘49, Molly
Mulligan,'50 and Esther Schofield '51.
Inter-Group Council has origin-
ated an Intercollegiate Board to
follow-up the conference of No-
vember 7 and 8th, Fifteen corres-
pondents will maintain personal
contact with those college repre-
sentatives who attend the confer-
ence. Lois Prescott, ‘61, is Chair-
man of the correspondence group.
Inter-Group Council will publish a
bi-monthly newsletter with news of
Inter-Group work done in colleges
in this area and in other sections
of the State. Roger Nielson, '48, has
been appointed Editor of this news-
letter to keep State College inform-
ed of Inter-Group events at other
colleges.

Tradition! Relaxation! Corona-
tlon! Such words can only begin to
describe the big Junior weekend
planned for February 6 and 7. Yes,
40 Is at It again. At what you say?
Well, it is like this,
Following in the footsteps of the
classes of 1947 and 1948, the present
Junior class Is combining its ambi-
tion and determination to carry on
the traditional Junior weekend, We
said traditional in the first line be~
cause the entire weekend is centered
around tradition, Certainly the
custom of a weekend completely
taken over by the Juniors is as old
and respected a tradition as any at
State, State would not be college
without Its Junior prom and ban-
quet.
Tho weekend activities will be In-
itiated on Friday evening by the
semi-formal dance at the Aurania
Club. Larry Audette and his orch-
estra will furnish not only the mu-
sie for dancing but also the accom-
paniment while State's own Fran
Mullin vocalizes. General chair-
man, Dule Wood, has promised that
the orchestra will play from 9 p. m.
until 2 a.m. with an hour for inter-
mission, All girls will have 3 o'clock
hours,
Just a minute! That is not alll
The evening will reach its elimax
us the Prom Queen enters "mid the
strains of “Pomp and Circumstance.”
R Coleman, occupant of last
year’s throne, will return to crown
this year’s regent, chosen as the
most beautiful girl in the Junior
class. Tickets for the dance, priced
ut $240 a couple, will be on sale
in the Commons Tuesday through
Friday, February 3 to 6.
Plans are tentative as yet for the
informal gathering Saturday after-
noon, but Saturday night will be
devoted to the traditional Junior
banquet. Elizabeth Ann Gibson,
Chairman of the banquet, has stat-
ed that as yet the place has not
been chosen, but announcement
will be made when aw decision ts
reached,
The “Red Deyils" seem to be de-
termined to start the second sem-
ester off In the right frame of mind.
The sophistocated beauty of the
prom combined with the friendly
atmosphere of the banquet should
result in a bang-up weekend long
to be remembered by all who share
in its fun and good times.

Commons Project
Nears Completion
The final steps in the interior
decoration of the Commons are un-
derway. Campus Commission has
obtained gray and maroon material
for the drapes and these will be
made by Myskania and Student
Council.
Helen Kisiel, '48, Grand Marshal,
has announced that the tables and
chairs that were decided on by the
student body during its last busi-
ness meeting have been ordered
and the company expects to deliver
them in early February.
The redecoration started during
Christmas vacation when the ad-
ministration took on the job of see-
ing that the Commons was com-
pletely painted. Besides a com-
plete paint job on the walls and
ceilings, the floors were refinished
and the bannisters were reinforced.
Organizations desiring murals or
caricatures on the walls should con-
tact the Campus Commission and
arrange the details between the
Commission and cooperating art
students,
As soon as possible the class ban-
ners will be arranged on the wall
with the latest class numerals
nearest the stairs.
Donnelly Sets Deadline
On Concession Bids
Miss Cathrine Donnelly, '49, Gen-
eral Chairman of State Fair, has
announced that all group houses,
sororities, fraternities, and other
groups on campus wishing to parti-
cipate In this annual affair, should
hand into her by Friday, January
16, their bid for a concession, Each
bid should be a list of three differen!
types of concessions in the order of
their preference.
James Brophy, '49, will head the
finance committee, while Geraldine
Cooperman, '50, is in charge of gen-
eral publicity,
In Six Area Schools
During Second Semester
A new plan for cadet teaching in
area schools will be introduced into
the English department next sem-
ester. Beginning in February, nine
English majors from the Senior
class will go as practice teachers
into the Watervliet, Bethlehem Cen-
tral, Roesselville, Voorheesville, Ra-
vena, and Coeyman’s high schools.
They will teach for eight. weeks.
The plan will probably be expand-
ed to include at least three other
departments next fall, according to
Dr. Robert Frederick, Director of
Training, and a member of the
planning and adjustment commit-
tee. Other members of the com-
mittee are Dr. Watt Stewart, Pro-
fessor of History, and Dr. Harry
Hastings, Professor of English.
Cadet teachers will act as: assist-
ants to a master teacher, a regular
teacher at the high school, They
will carry a full day's schedule and
responsibilities. After the eight
weeks, the nine cadets will be re-
placed by other practice teachers.
To Receive Elght Hours Credit
Eight hours of credit are given
for the elght weeks. Special courses
and adjustments will be made in
the English and Soclal Studies de-
partments for those who will miss
school time, All departments are
cooperating.
Mary Elizabeth Conklin, Instruc-
tor and Supervisor in English, will
act as field supervisor of the six
area schools, which have promised
fullest cooperation.
The tentative list of Seniors and
the schools at which they will teach
follows;
First eight weeks: Eugenia Bara-
nowski, Roesselville; Elolse Worth,
Roesselville; Ruth Bessel, Voorhees-
ville; Dorothy Diffin, Bethlehem
Central; Mary Fleming, Bethlehem
Central; Bette Jayne Jones, Water-
viiet; Gloria Gilbert, Watervliet;
Marjorie Lotz, Ravena; Jane Mc-
Guinness, Coeymans,
Second elght weeks; Muriel
Woods, Roesselville; Madelyn
Breich, Roesselville; Wanda Toma-
sik, Voorheesville; Shirley Webb,
Bethlehem Central; Mary Quinn,
Bethlehem Central; Hazel Engdahl,
Watervliet; Barbara Druschel, Wat-
erviiet; Carol Clark, Ravena; Mary
Immett, Coeymans.
To Supplement Mile Program
The purpose of the program 1s
to supplement Milne practice teach-
ing by giving more practical experi-
ence, and to promote closer rela-
lions between State College and
the high schools of the state.
The present set up represents the
results of many years planning, but
js entirely experimental, explains
Dr Frederick. Although the pro-
gram will continue next year, It 1s
subject to many changes. Dr,
Frederick states, “The class of 1948
is witnessing a very significant de-
velopment in the history of the
college, one for which we have long
been planning. The class of '48 can
be proud of the fact that it 1s the
class which i{naugurated cadet
tuships in the high sehools of the
state.”
Applications Are Available
For Infirmary Fee Refund
Forms for making application for
refunds of Infirmary fees are now
available in Room 300 A, All those
students holding the new insurance
policies must make application bee
fore March Ist, according to Nancy
Walsh, '48, Secretary of Student
Board of Finance.

More Cooperation . . .
Committees are not formed to be ignored!
Yet, the general attitude around State seems
to-be that committees were formed to be heckled
and those on the committees are malicious characters
attempting to embezzle money from the surplus.
This year, two issues in particular have de-
manded committee work and when both commit-
tees presented their final reports to assembly after
months of hard work and investigation, other
plans, directly opposing theirs, were offered from
the floor. We are not trying to stifle free discus-
sion. Healthy discussions are the growth vitamins
of any organization but too many vitamins can
be dangerous.
If people have definite plans on the issues at
hand: why can’t they present them to the com-
mittee during the months they are working on
the problem? Why is it always so necessary to
wait until the committee appears before assembly
to drop these little bombshells?
The names of the members of these committees
are all announced in assembly and it would be an
easy matter to contact them. In case we should
forget the names, we do have a president for our
Student Association and she does keep a record
of such things, All ideas and suggestions are more
than welcome to these committees, but when ideas
aren’t expressed until the committee has finally
reported the results of their labors, they only serve
to antagonize and to postpone any action on the
problem in question.
The insurance question and the work on the
remodeling of the Commons brought the issue to a
head. Plans presented in assembly when these
questions were brought up only resulted in a post-
ponement of any definite action. Issues should be
discussed during the meetings but not to the point
where a whole new plan if suddenly thrown into the
laps of the student body and activities must cease
to discuss the new plan.
Much time and many rises in blood pressure
would be saved if such plans were presented to the
committees beforehand so they may investigate the
possibilities then, Committee members aren’t long-
haired orgies ready to spit in the eye of the first one
to venture a suggestion, Committees are formed
merely to organize work on a certain question. Any
student may offer plans.
In the future, what do you say we try to be a
little more considerate and instead of slamming a
committee’s work ‘and offering a brand new plan,
consult the committee first. The committees formed
in Student Association work hard and sometimes
under handicaps. They deserve all the coopera-
tion we can give them.

It's Really Very Simple. . .”
Bditor’s Note
Many reque have been made
for some explanation of the theory
behind the preferential voting sys-
tem. We believe that student dis-
satisfaction with this system ez-
ists because of the lack of under-
standing of its fundamental prin-
ciples. In an attempt to clear up
misuderstanding, we are printing
the following explanation.
The preferential system we use
is essentially very simple, in spite
of what you may have heard. In an
election for a single office, like class
president, it is designed to enable
the class to vote on as many can-
didates as it may want to, and still
to put into ofice the ene who act-
ually has the support of the class.
Whenever more than two people
are nominated for one office, it is
quite possible for no one candidate
to get a majority right away, 1. e.
more than half of the votes. That is
what usually happens here. Of
course, we could declare the person
with a plurality elected, i. e. the
largest number of votes; but that
would hardly be a democratic meth-
od. For example, in the recent Fresh-
man election, the largest number of
votes obtained right away by any
candidate for Secretary was 47 votes
out of 266.
Some way must be found which
gives a clear-cut majority to one of
the candidates. One method which
is commonly used, and was used
here once, provides for a run-off
election between the two candidates
getting the highest number of votes.
In the run-off one of the two must
get a majority. That is quite true,
but there is a serious fallacy in this
line of argument. The fallacy lies
in assuming that one of the top two
will always get the support of a ma-
jority before any of the other candi-
dates who have been eliminated in
the run-off. The example I have
cited before—the Freshman elec-
tion for Secretary—shows the utter
foolishness of this assumption. If
such a run-off had been held among
the top three or the top four, it
would have been mathematically
possible for either the third or
fourth candidate to receive a ma-
jority of the vote. Starting with the
run-offs at the top is therefore not
a sound method.
Start At Bottom .
If the solution does not lie in start-
ing the run-offs at the top, it ob-
viously lies in starting at the bot-
tom; that is, in having a run-off
among all but the lowest candidate,
and in continuing to eliminate the
lowest candidates one by one in each
successive runoff. This can be done
very casily by marking just one bal-
lot preferentially and taking care of
the run-offs in the count,
How and why is this done? If you
have voted for one out of a number
of candidates, you will naturally
vote for nim again each time his
name appears on the run-off ballot;
all the more since there are fewer
and fewer other candidates compet
ing for your vote. Only when the
person you have voted for is elim-
inate do you have to switch your
support to one of the other candi-
dates, You do this by Indicating
a second choice on your original
running your vote
counts for him on each run-off,
called a distribution. When he is
eliminated because he has the small-
est number of votes, then you trans-
fer your vote to the one of the re-
maining candidates whom you fa-
vor, Should he, in turn, be elimin-
ated, your next choice Js considered,
and so on. All this 1s done step by
step, or run-off by run-off, by those
who count the ballots. This idea Is
called “the single transferable bal-
lot”. That is the preferential’s
term for @ series of run-offs which
starts with all the candidates, con-
tinues by eliminating the lowest can-
didates one by one and transferring
their ballots to the next cholce mark-
ed on those ballots, and stops as
soon as one of the candidates elther
has a maority or ts the only one
left, In each run-off, or distribu-
tion, your vote is counted for that
one of the candidates whom you pre-
fer to the others still running,
In this manner the preferential
system determines with complete
accuracy and without the slightest
opportunity for finagling which one
of the candidates can most readily
those for Student Council in which
more than one office must be filled
from one lst of candidates. In this
case, the voting system used depend!’
entirely on the general objective of
the election. The present voting
system was set up with this objec-
tive—to provide for representation
of all sections of class opinion in
Proportion to the strength of those
sections within the class. By this
way it is hoped that a Student
Council truly representative of the
four classes can be obtained. If you
agree with the objective, the pres-
ent voting system follows easily.
When several people are to be
elected, they obviously cannot all
get a majority of the votes. There-
fore, a number of votes must be
found which four and only four of
the candidates can get, This num-
ber is called a quota. For one office
it is one more than half the votes;
for two, one more than a third; for
three, one more than a fourth; for
four, one more than a fifth; or, the
number of votes divided by one
more than the number of offices to
be filled plus one. When 200 vote
for 4 class representatives the quota
is therefore 61, Notice 4 times 61
equals 244; the last candidate de-
feated can get only 56 votes. If you
lower the quota to 60, five candidates
can be elected.
Once a quota has been set, the
ballots are counted in essentially the
same way as for one office, The low-
est candidates are eliminated one
by one until four candidates have
the quota or only four are left, Since
the sum of the quotas is 244, almost
everyone in the class contributes to
the election of a Council member.
Furthermore, half of the class elects
half the representatives, one quar-
ter elects one quarter and smaller
groups have their scattered votes
Concentrated on one candidate in
the run-offs. This is the idea called
proportional representation or P.R.
Distribution of Surplus
The only real complication lies in
the question of what is called a
surplus. It might happen that some-
one gets more than 61 votes or what-
ever the quota happens to be, For
example, in last year’s election for
Student Council, the Class of '49
Gave 133 out of 256 first choices to
one candidate, This excess over the
quota, called a surplus, must be
distributed somehow if the other
candidates are to be able to get a
quota also, and if large numbers of
ballots are not to be wasted, Form-
erly, we distributed the surplus by
taking the excess ballots off the
top of the candidate's pile and re-
distributing them according to the
next choice marked on those ballots,
‘This method is evidently not much
Good.
Quite aside of the temptation to
help your friends by taking the
“right” ballots, it is absolutely im-
possible to select ballots completel
representative of the candidate’
whole pile. It is therefore necessary
to redistribute all the ballots but at
a lower value. ‘Thus, under the pres-
ent system, if your vote is marked
for a candidate who needs only
9/10ths of the votes he receives, you
will give him 9/10ths of your ballot
and the other 1/10th to your second
cholce, In this way the element of
chance, Introduced by the selection
of only some of the ballots for count-
ing, and formerly decisive in about
half of our elections, 1s eliminated,
At all times, your ballot Is fully
‘ounted,
limination of Candidates
In the multiple election, there-
fore, your billot goes to your first
choice long as he is running and
to the extent that he needs it. If
he Is eliminated, your ballot goes
to your second choice; if he doves not
need all of your ballot, he gets what
he needs and the rest goes to your
second choice. The same procedure
is used if a candidate gets a surplus
after one of the other candidates
been elimina in a run-off.
Spilts in Surplus Distribution
When ballots are split in a surplus
distribution very cumbersome frac-
tions may be produced. For example,
in last year's election for Myskania,
one candidate had a surplus of 30
votes out of 163. That would mean
splitting each of those 163 votes Into
two parts—one of 133/169 for the

Blind Man's Bluff
____, By EUGENE McLAREN —____
This Reporter is given the widest latitude as author
this column, although his viewpoints do not neces-
ae reflect those of the Stats Cottzon News.
Since this is the first issue of the New Year, it is
customary to Mst our own resolutions and make a
much longer list of resolutions which other people
should keep. It is always good to have a certain
time to stop, look briefly back, and take a few min-
utes to reflect on accomplishments and failures, the
happy and the unhappy moments, with a view toward
improvement, However, we have never believed in
hard and fast resolutions, but merely think it is bet-
ter to do what is believed to be right as seen at the
time, with no apologies. We quote the translation of
the proverb we learned this week in German class:
“The road to Hell is paved with good resolutions.”
Since no one would pay any attention to the resolu-
tions anyhow, space may as well be conserved.
New Practice Teaching Set-up
‘We've heard both pro and con criticism of the new
full time teaching deal. While it will undoubtedly
prove invaluable to the student, the complaint has
arisen that it will, from a practical viewpoint, cause
quite some inconvenience and monetary outlay for
the people concerned, Carfare adds up, and seniors
who hold student offices will be seriously handicapped
in the performance of their duties. Maybe these com-
plaints can be straightened out when the plan begins
operation,
A Freshman Speaks
Since sometimes a newcomer will see many things
an older resident has become so accustomed that he
is blind to them, we have asked a freshmen to give
his impressions of State College. It follows:
State College—My Diary
Sept.—Frosh Camp—what a swell way to get ac-
quainted! But too many Long Islanders; still had lots
of fun. Oh those beanies but we're proud of them and
what's that Myskania? Who do they think they are,
but I guess they can’t help it. Well the college seems
good but it hasn't any football team and where's the
campus? Most of my teachers seem okay but oh that
pre-med course from Dorwaldt,
Oct. Gee, the longer I'm here, the better I like
it, The Commons, Lounge, the Bull. Glad to see that
Campus Day had a queen worthy of the title. Don't
miss the big-time football anymore. Rather spend
Saturdays in the library anyhow!! How come the
upperclass girls are so nice to the frosh girls? Al-
ways taking them to lunch at the Bowl.
Nov. Just think—only a few weeks to Thanksgiving
and home, No book work then, Found out what St.
Mary's is. I do feel sorry for the boys up there cuuse
girls aren't allowed in, That rushing gets me, espec-
jally some of those rules. I overheard one of them
say, “Sorry, I can’t speak to my roommate—she's sor-
ority.” Oh those elections, Dunn has just started—
the truth is we are going to back our officers until
the green gremlins finally win rivalry. Vacation is
getting closer and term papers are assigned too, It's
here—and gone.
Dee, Heard Mumbles ‘Thornhill is coming to State.
Stan Abrams says so, Basketball team is okay. Plan to
see rest of the home games. College work is hard
but social life is more than enough to make up for it
Jan. Hit tune of the week, “Serenade of the Bells”
bells to cla: Vacation so good, but what is
the gleam coming oul of the Commons? What is
that new look? I guess the girls want to carry around
more weight. And what is that white stuff on the
ground? (Ed,’s Note. ‘There was « heavy frost in New
York and Long Island according to our friends from
the North country.)
I guess I'll close now cause T've got to finish that
term paper.
Jr, Prom Coming
Although it hasn't been advertised much, the next
big dance will be the Juntor Prom, on Friday,
February 6—just four week; from tonight. Most of us
will be over ‘the effects of Claude Thornhill by then
and can enjoy the music of Larry Audette and his or-
chestra from Schenectady, featuring our own Fran
Mullin as vocalist, Get. your dates early!
“48 Is the year
Our own private poll on the question, “When the
old year passed out?” has established the fact that
the average State College student celebrated sanely,
but managed to stay out to see the first sun of 1948
rise, Happy New Year.

On “University”
Commission Members
To Assemble Monday
State officials, contacted by the
NEWS last Wednesday, declined to
comment on the New York State
University Commission's recom-
mendations affecting the Teachers’
Colleges of New York. Oswald D.
Heck, Speaker of the State Assem-
bly and Commission member, ex-
plained that all information rela-
tive to the findings of the Com-
mission is withheld by a gentlemen's
agreement and could only be re-
Jeased by the body as a whole.
Recommend Colleges Be Cut
The research staff of the Univer-
sity Commission, according to the
N. Y. Times, recommended that the
eleven teacher training colleges be
cut to a half a dozen and that the
enrollment of those six be doubled.
Also proposed was that Albany
State College be enlarged to facili-
tate the training of elementary
teachers and possibly students go-
ing into government work.
Commission to Convene
The two-year-old commission will
convene here in Albany on January
12 to adopt final recommendations
to submit to the State legislature.
Confronting them is the task of
deciding between two drafts on pro-
grams to be initiated In higher edu-
cation.
The original draft submitted to
the Commission concerned the es-
tablishment of numerous commu-
nity colleges throughout New York
State. John E. Burton, State Bud-
get Director, feeling that “undue
emphas was being placed on
community colleges, presented an
alternative draft to the Commission,
This draft presented a four-point
program as follows: Acquisition of
an existing university by the state,
extension of financial aid to medi-
cal sehools, enlarged scholarships
(New York State has for years
granted 4,000 scholarships), and
state alded community colleges —
managed and initiated locally.
Among the objections is that
cither recommendation, If accepted
by the state, will add an expense
of hundreds of millions to an al-
ready $750,000,000 state budget.
There Is also the question of fitting
the proposed plans into the present
educational set up of New York
State.

The decision to allot this time
was made after Mrs, Richard Ben-

SEB Anticipates
Fewer Teachers
InGrade Schools
It is important that all Seniors
and Graduate students come to the
bureau of Teacher Placement in
Milne, in order to indicate their
preference for being employed as
Elementary or High School teach-
ers. According to a communication
recelved from the office of Elmer
G. Mathews, Director of Student
Employment, the SEB expects to
receive numerous demands for all
kinds of teachers trained in ele-
mentary school work.
The communication reads as fol-
lows; “There has been an increas-
ing demand over the past two years
for teachers in the elementary and
junior high levels and this year
seems to be no exception. Now that
the state has a salary law which
has increased the benefits to most
teachers the chance of making a
reasonable salary in the lower
grades of the public schools has be-
come state-wide.
The war babies are beginning to
show their numbers in our schools
and the superintendents and prin-
cipals are hard pressed to meet the
demand with qualified personnel.
These fields hold promise of brisk
development and advancement for
those who are qualified and wish to
participate.”

Roguish Resolutions Raise Cain; ~
Revealing Resolvers Do Same
New Year's came again this year,
and as usual brought resolutions
with it, However, either the people
at State are too bashful to admit
that they have made and broken
many already, or else they were
Just too wise to make them in the
first place. As a result, the follow-
ing represent the work of only a
few students,
In keeping with the spirit of the
season, exam season, that is, Gloria
Sottile, 50, expressed the sentiments
of many when she said, “I’m going
to classes every day now so that I
ean use my cuts during exam week.”
Along the same line, Rhoda Riber,
‘60, remarked that she wasn’t going
to cause the librarians any more
trouble—she plans to spend all her
free time in the Commons. Not to
be out-done, Helma Rosenberg, '60,
quoted Benjamin Franklin, when she
said, “Don’t let studies interfere
with your college education,”
On general campus issues, Renee
Harris, '50, was overheard telling a
friend that she planned to buy a
pair of rose-colored sun-glasses es-
pecially for the Commons, Sara-
Caruso, '50, said that she intended
to make the most of Leap Year, Her
motto is to “Grab a mate at State
in '48.”
From the male element the reso-
lutions were varied. Robert Freyer,
‘50, has decided never to stir his
coffee with his left hand—he re-
ceived a spoon for Xmas, Earle
Jones, ‘60, has announced that he
won't be walking in the rain bare-
foot because he might grow, Har-
vey Milk, '51, has promised not to
look at the “New Look,’
In the opinion of many the fol-
lowing are a few of the resolutions
that should have been made, but
weren't:
1, The president of Signum Lau-
dis will not make Dean’s List,
2, Assembly attendance will not
be compulsory.
3. State will become nationally
famous.
4. Our new president will be tall,
dark, handsome, and Stately.
5, Sororities and frats will not
“rush” through their first semester.
6. We will have formals every
weekend with a different “name
band” at each for those who can't
make the holiday affairs.
7. Exams will be scheduled only
for those who want them and at
the stooge’s own convenience,
6. The library will be made into
a swimming pool, so that more peo-
peat see the inside of Hawley
all.
9. 'The buildings will be made
smoke-proof and students will learn
to inhale so that cigarettes will be
seen in lower Draper and the P.O.

IVCF Sponsors
Food-Clothing
European Drive
A used clothing drive for European
students is now being conducted by
Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship
under the supervision of Robert Pet-
ers, '49, IVCF 1s also sponsoring the
CARE drive for cash contributions
for food to be sent to European
countries,
Contributions for the clothing
drive must consist of clean, usable
clothing of any size; it should be
placed in the box located in the lower
hall of Draper. Money for CARE
may be given to any IVOF member,
The weight of all clothing con-
tributed will be doubled by the War
Rellef Commission, national promo-
ters of the program, before being
sent out of the United States,
Cicibunsinionlicn’ ” a
Bditor’e Note:
The editorial referred to below
appeared in a December issue of
the Evangelist, the Catholic newa-
paper for the Diocese of Albany.
Students wishing to read this edi-
torial may do so on the P.O. Bulle-
tin board,
According to an editorial in the
Evangelist of December 5, 1947, the
State Department of Education and
our parents have “cause for alarm”.
We are being exposed to “crass ma-
terialism” and “sniping at religious
beliefs” here at State. Furthermore,
we may now find a “left-wing
strain” in our sociology classes.
The first of these charges
the editorial does not attempt to
support by any evidence whatsoever.
The second charge is derived from
the fact that our Professor of Socio-
logy, Doctor Theodore Standing, is
acting chairman of the Albany
Chapter of the Progressive Citizens
of America, This, according to the
editorial, gets him “the accolade of
praise” from Moscow through Henry
Wallace as intermediary. Since, ac-
cording to the editorial, the “PCA
is anything but 100% American in
its convictions and purposes”, there
should now be fear of “the evident
danger of infiltration of radical
thought and foreign ideologies into
the American way of life”. Against
these dangers, the editorial con-
cludes, our educational system must
be safeguarded,
While I have myself attacked the
POA in public meetings, including
one of State College students, there
are some things in this editorial with
which I cannot agree. Upon careful
examination my sociology notes re-
veal no dangerous “left-wing
strains”. But suppose they did. Is
a restriction of academic freedom
likely to help us in arriving at solu-
tions to the complex problems of
ama
modern aoctety? Is not freedom of tional Catholic Rural Life Confer-
expression, on and off the campus,
4 prerequisite of real progress? Sure-
ly the editor of the Evangelist would
not demand or expect that a profes-
sing Catholic instructor at State
adapt the “strain” of his teaching
to ideological standards determined
by others.
What about the “danger of infil-
tration of radical thought and for-
eign ideologies’? It might be pointed
out that practically all “ideologies”
in the United States, from Catho-
licism to Keynesian economics, are
importations. Even the Statue of
Liberty comes .from overseas. The
growth of some foreign ideologies in
this country is due to their free ac-
ceptance by some of the people; the
lack of growth of other foreign
ideologies is due to their rejection.
This free process of acceptance and
rejection, together with native modi-
fication and growth, has produced
the ideological part of “the Ameri-
can way of life”. If that way of life
4s to persist and grow, that process
of acceptance and rejection must be
allowed to continue freely. The idea
that academic freedom must be re-
stricted to what some one or some
group considers to be in the best
interests of society, with criticism
allowed only if it 1s completely with-
in the existing order — the idea
lauded by Stalin as intra-party
democracy — is one which we can
safely leave to the Russians.
The solution for today’s mass con-
fusion does not le in mass hysteria.
In a discussion of communist se-
mantics on the same page of the
Evangelist, the Reverend James M.
Gillis says, “The word most fre-
quently used by communists to con-
demn all who disagree with them
is “fascist’". Let us not follow this
path and call all with whom we dis-
agree, communists, or imply that
they are, We might profit more from
adopting the attitude evidenced in
the column by the Reverend
George G. Higgins adjoining the
editorial. “The Conference (Na-
ence), as His Eminence (Cardinal
Stritch) pointed out, believes that
farmers ought to be organized into
their own economic associations, not
alone to advance their own economic
interests but to promote the general
economic welfare, This part of the
Conference's program is unpopular,
of course, in certain influential quar-
ters and will be bitterly resisted.
But the Conference will not be de-
terred in the slightest by phony
charges of ‘communism’, for it knows
only too well that among the best
friends the communists have in the
United States are those greedy in-
dividuals and corporations which are
concentrating land ownership in the
hands of the few.”
Gerhard Weinberg, ’48, We agree
with Mr. Weinberg’s statement and
request its publication in the State
College NEWS.

On The Bench
‘By PAULA “ICHY.
Now that 48 has taken the place
of dear old 47 on the calenders it
looks like a good year, what with
the presidential election, Leap year
and a winning basketball team.
The Varsity has gotten off to a
promising start in this '47-'48 sea-
son. The team has already won
more games in the 4 weeks of play
than it won in the entire '46-'47
season. Counting the Alumni open-
er the squad won 3 out of 17 games
last season and have already topped
4 out of 5 opponents this year. From
all indications the remainder of the
season should follow its opening
pattern,
Probability is high that there are
to be busses to take students to at
least one of the “away” games after
exams,
With the change in weather also
came a change in the WAA bulletin
board. Granted it looks like a work
of art but may we here and now
make a small criticism. We believe
a bulletin board is mainly for the
purpose of announcements and
items of general interest. If it loses
its functional purpose it should no
longer mesquerade under the name
of “Bulletin” board.
As it stands now all announce-
ments are tacked about 2 inches
above the bottom and drape over
the baseboard. This is especially
poor if the paper happens to be a
sign-up sheet. The signatures of
the students become so illegible that
even they can’t read them.
The appearance of the Board
would also be greatly improved if
the announcements posted were
more standard in character.
Outing Club is holding a meet-
ing at 7:30 Monday nite to make
plans for a ski trip to North Adams
on Saturday, January 17.
Jayvees Clash With

Pointing for their third win of
the season, State’s Junior Varsity
will meet Albany Business College at
the Albany Y.M.C.A. at 8 o'clock.
Tonight's game will be the Jayvee's
seventh »f a nineteen game sched-

After bowing in their season
openers to Potter Club, and Lipp-
man’s Pharmacy, the Jayvees took
two from Skidmore. Next on the
cage card was the overtime loss to
Pharmacy by a 40-39 count, Mal
Falleck paced the Junior States-
men in this thriller, chipping in
with five field goals and a foul
Traveling to Middlebury, the Jr.
Varsity pushed the Vermonters all
the way in losing 49-43. ‘The Mid-

forced to play out the string with
their first team to keep ahead of
the fast-:tepping Jayvees, Jim Wor-

With four long drills behind them
the Jayvees are set to give A.B.O.
a battle tonight. Coach “Bolo”
Marsland has been mmaging the

welcome, since a class for instruc-
tion in the art of skiing will be con-
ducted by Coach Hathaway.
As yet, hours for meetings have
not been set in order that they may
be arranged most advantageously to
the greatest number of those wish-
ing to participate. From all ap-
pearances, it is most likely that the
club will go into action Saturday
afternoons,
Classes will probably be held in
Washington Park, There Is a pos-
sibility that trips to the Heidelberg:
might be arranged. Other possi-
bilities are weekend jaunts to Camp
Johnson or use of the municipal
golf course.
Personal possession of equipment
is not necessary since the WAA has
four pairs of skis with harnesses
and poles aecessible to those who
do not own stich equipment. ‘Those
desiring to purchase skis can take
advantage of the opportunities af-
forded by the WAA store for ob-
taining equipment at wholesale
price.

such complications, each bal-
lot is made equal ot 100 points, In
this that meant that 81,33
points from each ballot were re-
tained by the elected candidate while
the voter could give 18 points to his
second choice. Since no ballot value
can be created, fractions of @ sur-

voting. That is your job, Your in-
telligent or unintelligent voting will
give you mtelligent or unintelligent
results correct to two decimal places,
A final word to those who may be
running for office sometime, Often
in recent years candidates have
claimed that some other candidate
had found a way to beat the sys
tem. Don't worry, Under this sys-
tem, there is no mysterious way of
marking or not marking one ballot
which mekes it count more effec
tively than any other ballot. Those
who believe they have found an
opening for finagling are fooling
neither you nor the system, but
themselves.
Mark your preferences carefully in
exactly the order in which you con-
sider the candidates. If that is what
you put into the ballot box, that is
what will come out.

sembly and a plaque is to be pre-
sented in memory of Donald White,

A report was made by the com-
mittee that was appointed to see
about the possibilities of a new
mimeograph machine that a mach-
ine will be purchased as soon as
one is available.
In the last assembly before vaca-
tion, it was pointed out that when
the Men's Athletic Association sub-
mitted its budget last spring, many
of the items were very indefinite
since there had been no budget for
a period of several years on which
to base estimates, and that it has
been necessary to make several
changes thus far this year and that
more are anticipated, Because it is
often desirable to make line trans-
