Keep ‘Em Glistening
Are you a thief?
You may not think so, but you probably
are stealing wittingly or unwittingly from
yourself as well as your fellow students at
least $102,000, Every time you stop to chat
in the lower corridor of Draper and prop a
foot against the wall, every time you stamp
out a cigarette on the floor of the Commons,
you are stealing from yourself and your
friends at least one hundred thousand—not
pennies, not nickles, but dollars!
The Farrell mansion across the street,
assessed at $102,000 and worth probably
much more, was given to the Alumni Asso-
ciation this summer. The Alumni do not
know what to do with the building. They
would like to turn it over to the students of
the college.
There is talk of a Student Union among
members of the administration. Dr. Sayles
would probably like to see a Student Union.
In fact Dr. Sayles’ objective for years was
not dormitories, but Student Union. But
how, they reason, can a beautiful building
like the Farrell gift to State be turned over
to students who haven’t learned that a floor
is not the place on which to drop a lighted
cigarette? They feel it would be like giving
Rome to the Vandals.
The floor of the Commons and the lower
corridor of Draper have been re-sanded, the
walls re-painted and generally re-conditioned
this past summer. They glisten as they have
never glistened before. If it can be proved
to the Alumni and Administration that the
students can keep them glistening, a Student
Union will be more than the remote alterna-
tive that it is today.
It ig therefore the duty, the supreme re-
sponsibility of every student as a citizen of
this college community to work, to fight for
cleanliness oz the Commons and lower Draper.
Every cigarette butt has a one hundred thou-
sand dollar price tag attached, Every time
a student writes on or props his foot against
the wall of the corridor, he is carrying away
$102,000 from his comrades.
So, for Student Union, throw butts into
ash trays, keep feet on the floor and pencil
marks in notebooks!
Keep ’em glistening!
First Or Last?
Last year, the News promised the student
body more six page issues. Today’s paper is
meant as a token of intention of carrying out
that policy.
If there are to be more such issues, the
News must have the cooperation of the stu-
dent body, faculty, and administration who
constitute the sources of news. Therefore,
heads of organizations and departments,
chairmen of functions and committees must
give willingly without delay all information
at their commands,
Without the support of the student body
and faculty, today’s issue, intended to be the

No longer need there be debate as to the biggest fool
in State College!
Just look ye above, note that this column is no
longer anonymous. Tell me if I do not hereby keep
some eligible young man or woman from a fate parallel
to that which used to be called worse than death.
Now unfortunately (since the coat I wear has the
muscles built in) I am not of that group which has
as its milieu the sports-demanding brawn.
And although I strive for the masculinity of mind
which seems to go with these my idols, I find their
conversations also beyond my reach. For when each
in turn has spoken of his prowess, a silence will al-
ways fall upon the group, eyes will affix themselves
upon me; and I—coward that I am—will blush and
run. it
And my infrequent forays into this, my envied
clique, has disclosed only one other topic of conversa-
tion. But an inherited shyness makes me prefer my
wolfing on the subtle side.
And so I don’t belong to anybody in particular, I
sit alone at parties and think up cutting remarks.
Which—taking it all in all, as my dear Aunt Ella
used to say—may not be so bad.
I don’t belong to anybody in particular, and I've
got a column to write. I sit alone thinking up cutting
remarks, and I've still got a column to write.
So, dear children, each Friday morning you'll find
me holding forth on causes dear to my heart and
dangerous to my limbs. You may find me here; you
may find me among the ads; you may even find me
on page seven.
But, if somebody’ll volunteer to protect me before
I get to be the most hated man in State College, you
won't find me straddling a fence.
I'm sensitive about some things anyway.
If you don't believe it, read this again.
Cleanliness and ROTC
Student Forum
To The Editor:
It was pretty obvious last fall that most of our
college buildings were badly in need of repair and re-
painting. Another year of wear and tear by us made
the place look even worse. But things are different
now. President Sayles and the administration saw the
need too, and they went to work to do something
about it. The Commons really looks like something
for a change. It cost the State a lot of money to fix
the place up the way it is now, not to mention time
and labor.
Now it is up to us to do our part. It won't be hard
to keep the school looking clean and neat if everyone
will cooperate. There is plenty of room outdoors if the
fellows want to horse around. At home most of us
wouldn’t dream of dropping ashes on the floor or
furniture, The same holds true when it comes to
sitting with feet on the tables and chairs, There is a
“four foot” rule in all the girls’ rooming houses; we
should have a “two foot” rule around the school and
boys’ dorm.
Usually it is the upperclassmen who are the worst
offenders. Soon the class of '45 will be following our
example, good or bad. Let’s start them off right and
do oursel' s justice—next time, drop that cigarette
in the saud box where it belongs and do your part.
Let's back Dr, Sayles to the limit. He has spent
thousands of dollars in beautifying our college home.
Now it's up to each and every member of the student
body to keep this school fit for human habitation.
To The Editor:
Gibralter’s immobility may be commendable, but
State’s is not. It’s time we came to the front with
some real national defense moves. Most colleges have
already “gone over the top” in preparing their male
population to meet that inevitable dragon, war. The
establishment of an R.O.T.C. here at State would not
be a difficult procedure — in fact the government
is very willing to help things along. A trained officer,
loaned by the government, could instruct would-be
reserve officers in scheduled classes, 9 lose _all-
important (to the women) uniGitis # iso come from
the U.S. A. A trainee attending ‘niese classes for four
years receives the rank of a second lieutenant who
never has K. P. duty and always has a thick billfold
(on pay-day). Certainly State men have a right to
some of these privileges and have an obligation to
the United States to ald as much as possible in national
defense and preparedness. And it's time to start
shootin’ now!

Clarifying the P. O.
Communication:
To the Student Body: a
At a meeting last June of the heads of activities repre-
sented in the Publications Office, certain rules were agreed
upon to facilitate the enactment of business. At that
time, it was agreed that rulings would be entirely ineffec-
tive unless provision was made for the enforcement of
the actions. Provision has now been made for the en-
forcement and this communication is for the purpose of
clarifying all regulations so as to avoid difficulties through
misunderstandings in the future.
Dr. John M. Sayles, President, has offered to discipline
any student who is a consistent violator of the privileges
of the Publications Office even to the point of expulsion
or suspension if the offender is a detriment to the proper
functioning of this place of business.
The committee which formulates the regulations con-
sists of the heads of activities located in the office—the
News, the Svalesman, the Pedagogue, Student
Council, Press Bureau, MAA Press Bureau, and Drama-
ties and Arts Association. The personnel of the commit-
tee includes William Dorrance, Edwin Holstein, Mary
Klein, Shirley Kyle, Ralph Tibbetts, Virginia Polhemus,
Carl Mitchell, and Elizabeth Simmons.
The Publications Office is not open to the public. It is
open only to members of the boards and staffs who are
engaged in legitimate transaction of business. In past
years, publications staffs have been seriously handicapped
and even prevented from working during the daytime
because of the crowded and noisy conditions. The re-
vised NEWS schedule makes it necessary that the staff
of that publication work unhampered during the school
hours—unhampered by students running in for a smoke,
a visit, or making noise. The enforcement of this regu-
lation will enable staffs to complete its work much more
rapidly and efficiently and would greatly reduce the num-
ber of hours necessary late at night.
Therefore—at no time is there to be any loafing in the
Publications Office. The office is a place of business. It
is not an annex to the Commons, nor is it a smoking
lounge, nor is it a study hall, nor is it a cafeteria. The
Publications Office is and must be used for legitimate
transactions of business. If it is used for any other pur-
pose than the business for which it is intended, it ceases
to have any reason for existence and is liable to seizure
by the administration for more worthwhile purposes than
that of an undersized annex to the Commons.
If the Publications Office is to be continued in its pres-
ent capacity, it must observe certain matters which are
considered fundamental in all business institutions. First
amongst these is simple cleanliness. Smoking is not en-
couraged, mainly because the majority of students are
not intelligent smokers. When a cigarette has been
finished, the proper procedure is not to toss it on the
floor and rub it, still burning, into the wood. Nor is it
proper to toss a match on the floor. Four brand new
sanded cigarette receptacles have been placed in the Pub-
lications Office. If the receptacles are properly used,
smoking will be tolerated providing proper ventilation is
maintained. Smoking is never permitted when not en-
gaged in legitimate activity. If, after a two weeks trial,
cigarette butts and matches are still found on the floor,
it will be a simple matter to absolutely prohibit smoking
in the Publications Office by a ruling to that effect by the
President, Dr. Sayles.
The blackboard is not a substitute for the Student
Mailbox. The blackboard is to be used with discretion
and when in use, should be kept neat. “Wisecracks” are
earnestly solicited by the Statesman and have no place
on the blackboard, The board will be erased every twenty-
four hours and messages placed on the blackboard may
be erased at any time by the Publications Office commit-
tee. As soon as a message is received, it should be erased
immediately.
“Horseplay” of any kind is absolutely out of order and
will not be tolerated, New railings have been installed and
care must be taken of these and other fixtures. No lon-
ger will broken furnishings be treated lightly but will be
considered as an indication of the student’s immaturity
and inability to take advantage of the opportunities of-
fered him.
Briefly speaking, the Publications Office is struggling
to justify its existence. It is reorganizing from within
to prevent the necessity of an outside organization re-
organizing it or abolishing it entirely. The Publications
Office Committee has undertaken this reorganization and
is making a conscientious attempt to do so without resort-
ing to other agencies to back up its decisions. The com-
mittee asks for full cooperation from the entire student
body in making this effort 4 success. The student body
and especially the minority which abuses the privileges
of the office must keep in mind the fact that the Publi-
cations Office is a place of business and must be run as
a place of business,

Junior Guide System
Undergoes Revision
The system of Junior Advisors.
chairmanned this year by Lols Haf-
ley and Byron Benton, junior, has
been revised to tle up the system
more thoroughly with the faculty,
and to extend the time of effective-
ness of the system.
As the system {is now operating.
eight freshmen have been assigned
to each member of the faculty, Tn
each case a faculty advisor and a
Junior Guide have been assigned
the same students. But as each
Junior Guide has been assigned
approximately four freshmen, each
faculty member will work with three
or four guides.
In previous years the guide sys-
tem acted in behalf of the fresh-
men for a few weeks. At present
the system will be carrled over and
inked with the freshmen orienta-
tion program, which is being spon-
sored by student and faculty com-
mittees,
During the week the Junior
Guides have conducted meetings and
tours for the freshmen, and es-
corted them to the President's Re-
ception, which was held Thursday
evening in the Rotunda of Draper
Hall in honor of the class of '45.

C.1.M.
First off, we want to extend a
warm handful of digits to welcome
the frosh into sports life at State.
Congratulations and good luck to
our future standard bearers in the
sports parades to come.
We feel sure that each and every
newcomer who enters into this field
will uphold State's fine record of
clean play and honest effort.
A quick glance over the ranks of
the 45 lads reveals that thelr group
is somewhat depleted. In contrast
with entering classes of around 116
males in the past, we find that there
are but a scant 61 passing under
State's porticos.
How this will affect the sports
situation cannot be correctly sur-
mised at present. The current pro-
gram does not necessarily have to
be curtailed if a sufficient number
show interest in what is now being
offered, With an increased athletic
staff, much more attention can now
be directed to improving the major
sports, Since the quality of State’s
future sportsmen is more important
than the quantity we will withhold
our fears and look to the stars.
If men coming to State do not
find the time or have the inclina-
tion to participate in the major
sports then an increased intramural
program will result, And we have
some fine suggestions which were
handed to us along this line. Two
of the suggestions which we whole-
heartedly endorse are soccer and
golf, This department has gone to
bat for soccer in the past but golf
has not received much attention.
If the girls can do it, why can’t the
men? Prominent among the pill-
pushers at State are Coach Hatfield
and a host of undergraduates, In-
cldentally, Coach has been a South-
paw Swinger so long that his irons
click with a southern drawl!
Perhaps Intramural Council could
arrange a golf tournament which
can be played off both fall and
spring just as the tennis matches
are run right now.
Last night the members of Intra-
mural Council held a meeting and
elected officers for the coming year,
Presiding this year are Regis Ham-
mond, President; Art Flax, treasur-
er; and Gene Guarino and Bill
Marsland, co-secretaries, A tie in
the voting necessitated the unusual
phenomenon of a secretary for each
semester,
Other members
Council are Ken Johnson, s
Hal Singer, junior.
Briefly, the Council is made up of
representatives from the major
sports at State and from competing
teams. A member to represent Sayles
Hall will soon be chosen by the
present staff.

Females on Annual Hike
Explore Thatcher Park
About 150 freshmen women were
guests of the Women's Athletic As-
soclation at the annual Indian Lad-
der hike Wednesday. Five busloads
of girls left Draper at 3:00 P. M.
and returned to Albany with an ex-
hausted group, tred but happy
after a day of sports, ;
Organized hikes acquainted the
new girls with the vast territory of
Thatcher Park, where WAA and
other college groups invariably hold
thelr picnics, Baseball also merit-
ed the attention of the girls, and
whetted thelr appetites for a sup-
per (including tuna fish sand-
wiches), prepared by Nodie Davis,
‘43, and her helpers,
With Win Jones, '43, in charge,
the day's activities ended with a
campfire and sing.

Eleventh Camp Meet
At this eleventh annual re-union
at Camp Albany on Lake Cossayuna,
softball proved to be but one of the
many sports which helped the frosh
to enjoy themselves and become ac-
quainted with classmates and their
seniors.
The boys took part also in foot-
ball, basketball, ping-pong, tennis,
boating, and two innovations, bad-
minton and boxing,
As per usual the weather hoyered
in the frigid regions. Despite this
fact, many saw fit to partake of
numerous dousings, some even
plunged in before the early morning
ice had melted.
Unlike other years, the frosh
camp was “closed” to nocturnal
wanderings. In other words, the lads
were forbidden to duck out of camp
and rub their elbows on the old ma-
hogony. Instead, the evenings were
filled with entertainment, mostly in
the form of story-telling and skits,
Long Island Ducks
The trusting freshmen were still
overheard asking each other what
was the correct solution to the now
famous and somewhat antiquated
“Case of the Long Island Ducks,”
On Saturday night Oksala, Kunz,
Kiley, and White took top honors
(due to the fact that they were the
sole performers) with a skit rip-
pling with genuine humor entitled,
“Morning Exercise.” When inter-
viewed, modest Bert Kiley admitted,
“I was terrific; Oksala was good,
too.”
Another innovation, enthusiast-
cally accepted by all the backwoods-
men, was the serving of hot coffee
and doughnuts at 10:00 o'clock eve-
nings. This was in keeping with the
“stay-at-home” policy of this year's
fr outing. The food was excellent
as well as plentiful, Both freshmen
and the uppers admitted that they
must have put on extra weight in
their brief exploration into the wild
unknown of the far North,
Little Rivalry
Surprisingly enough, frosh-soph
rivalry dropped lower than the 1929
stock market. This can be attributed
to the absence of the 44 lads rather
than their unwillingness to act. No
longer were the newcomers taken for
midnight rides or subjected to im-
promptu dunkings In the shivering
depths of the clear, crystal lake wa-
ters.
The checkerboards and bridge ta-
ble dominated in the late evening
activity. Gambling of any sort was
tabooed, Liquid refreshments of a
personal nature was limited to guz-
aling of Coca-colas, The zero hour
was set at 12 midnight. After twelve,
the experienced upperclassmen hop-
ped in their bunks well clothed,
while the new standard bearers fros
ed in their pajamas.
On Sunday evening the frosh were
convoyed home by bus. They were
fortunate in that the weather was
ideal, if not warm, No sooner did
they establish themselves as in-

cording to an announcement by Kay
Peterson, '42, president. Captains for
each sport have been chosen, but
dates and places have not been de-
cided upon yet. All details will be
posted upen the WAA bulletin

The season, which runs from Sep-
tember 22 to November 27, will of-
fer a variety of sports including
hockey, archery, riding, tennis, bad-
minton and swimming.
Jane Greenman, ‘43, and Leda
La Salle, ‘44, will share the responsi-
bility of supervising hockey. Doro-
thea Simmons and Margaret Taub,
sophomores, will take charge of ar-
chery, while June Clark does the
same for riding.
Another tennis tournament is
planned, and the participants will
be directed by Lois Hafley and Mary
some hours in at ‘the Washington
Park courts while they are still
open.
Jean Kapha and Marilyn Gale,
sophomores, will captain the bad-
minton players, The swimming cap-
tains are still unchosen, and Miss
Peterson requests that anyone who
is interested in heading the sport
should get in touch with her.

Rambling
Around
by
v.G.P.
The Women’s Athletic Association
started off with a bang over the
weekend by extending a great big
welcoming hand to the newcomers
during the annual camp weekend
at Burden Lake. Certainly, the
freshmen were pleased with their
royal reception, and Susie Wing
should be congratulated on a grand
job as chairman of the affair. Mil-
lie Mattice, as her assistant, and
Win Jones, as the indispensible
treasurer, gave all in helping the
counsellors to show the freshmen a
good time.
An unprecedented number of 157
freshmen girls and thirty-four up-
perclass counsellors overflowed the
cabins. As usual many faculty guests
were on hand to be well-wishers,
and take it from me, the inform-
ality of camplife helps to break
down the false barriers built around
“the profs” while in the college’s
environs.
Many impressions of the week-
end remain—the warm days and
freezing night . the warmly-
bundled up frosh and foolhardy
Micky Adams . . the hi-lite of
the freshman’s talent show—Claire
Schwartz's superb monologue in a
Swedish dialect . . . the excellent
fashion show presented by Pat
Latimer and Armede Black
the invigorating dips in Burden
Lake and the boat rides upon it
. the impressive candlelight ser-
vice at night and the outdoor Mass
Sunday morning (the frosh were
thoughtfully spared a memorable
but dangerous ride into town in the
back of the old truck which pro-
vided innumerable thrills in previ-
ous years)
One frosh was asked if she was
having a good time. “Wonderful!”,
she exclaimed, “did I sleep last
night!!!" I guess that tells the story
in a nutshell.
The Indian Ladder hike Wednes-
day also drew a record-breaking
crowd. The WAA officers are 1o0k-
ing forward to a banner year, and
if the beginning is indicative of
what is to be expected of the rest
of the year, their hopes will be real-
ized.
A few words to the freshmen wo-
men, Upon payment of your student
|tax, uu automatically become
members of the Women’s Athletic
Association. Take advantage of all
that it offers and participate in all
its activities. You will have fun, you
will meet your classmates and the
upperclassmen, and you will feel
better for it, Since the year is
divided into four sport seasons, try
to take part in at least one activity
for each period. Fall season starts

The Freshmen Go To Camp
The Dancing Debut

Bunyan Returns
In Jones’ Poem
To Aid Defense
The Camp
One of the most cherished mem-
ories of our college life has as its
locale the Cossayuna Grill. The
principal character in it was one
of the most outstanding members
of his class. He was one of the
upperclassmen who had gathered
at Camp Albany to give us our first
look at the collegiate life.
At the time which we have in
mind, he looked like anything but
a college man. He was standing in
a chair, dressed like a vagabond,
holding in one hand a brew which
passed as legal. To the group of
admiring freshmen who surrounded
him, he was lustily singing a song
about a well meaning young lady,
Miss Nancy Brown, who did not do
quite so well.
That, to us, has always remained
the highlight of our freshman camp.
Not that the camp did not have
other events of importance. We
remember playing poker until four
in the morning, we remember going
for an unexpected and fully clothed
swim in the lake, we remember—
but why go on? We shall retain our
memories—memories of a camp
that is no more.
A week ago, the men of the class
of 1945 went to.Cossayuna. They
went to something different. The
camp was more sedate than those
in past years. There was no drink-
ing, no staying up late, no gam-
bling.
The boys were welcomed and ori-
entated as little gentlemen. In the
past the men of the college would
come back with a complete store
of the latest jokes, culled from the
corners of New York State. This
year the closest anyone came to
an off-colored story was when they
told the one about the Long Island
duck—and unbiased observers will
admit that that is not coming very
close at all.
Three upperctassmen covered
themselves with shame at camp.
They were the bad boys of the
entire group. In defiance of exis
ing rules, they gambled, they stayed
up late, and they drank.
With bottles of Coca-Cola clutched |
in their besotted hands, they stayed
up till midnight playing poker, and
using checkers as money. Then, at
12 p. m., when all decent souls were
in bed, they crept to their bunks
to toss uneasily in a conscience-
Paul Bunyan, legendary lumber-
jack, of folk literature, has returned
to our modern scene of action in
“Paul Bunyan is Back," a poem
written by Louis C. Jones, Instruc-
tor in English. This poem recently
appeared in the magazine section
of the New York Times, and was
hailed throughout the country as
an outstanding example of Ameri-
can poetry and thought.
The poem illustrates Mr. Jones’
interest in folk literature, an in-
valuable source of material which
as yet has not been extensively
used. “The American people,” Mr.
Jones stated, “should become aware
of the great possibilities of folk
literature, which has been growing
in increasing store for many years.”
Bunyan, in this poem, is a symbol
of America's ability to get things
done. The return of this giant of
fiction to speed defense industry
represents the potential power, ac-
tion, and drive which is ours, and
which is as tremenduous, as gigantic
as the country itself.
Mr. Jones conceived the idea for
the poem while musing about litera-
ture of the past and about present
day conditions in the world at large.
He completed the poem in approxi-
mately three hours, then showed it
to Dr. Harold W. Thompson, former
head of State's English Department,
who advised Mr. Jones to send it to
the New York Times. The poem was
accepted and published.

Frankly, we don't know. It may
be that the camp served its pur-|
pose more adequately this year. That
point we shall not argue. The only
thing we shall do is to creep quietly
into a corner, and, all by ourselves,
silently shed a tear for the good old |
days. |
The Debut
Yesterday we went down to the
Commons to dance, and in doing so
we recalled the first time we |
exer danced there. It was the last
uay of classes before the Christmas
vacation of our freshman year—the
day that a very understanding
friend of ours told us we were going |
to learn to dance. She was more
brave than prudent. She proved it
when she said she was going to
teach us.
She must have been a very good
friend for her ardor was only
dampened slightly by the ordeal|
that followed. |
Screwing up our courage to aj
height which we had never deemed
ourselves capable of reaching, we
wrapped our right arm around her,
and shoved off. The spectators were
then treated to a most spectacular
demonstration.
The lesson was a long one, and
before it was over, we had stepped
on our partner's feet more often!
and harder than they had ever been |
stepped on before. We knocked three |
unaware couples off their feet, and
we had even run into a wall,
Taken all in all, we danced like
a locomotive with a flat wheel com-
plex. Surprisingly, we went back not
many days later to do it again.
Today we are happy. We have not |
gotten any better. We just don’t)
care how much we make anyone
suffer.

column was devoted to reminiscence:
about our freshman year. Sorry, It)
won't happen again.) 1

Corner Ontario at Benson St,
Explains Cooperation
Needed to Maintain
State's Appearance
At a cost of between four and five
thousand dollars, State College was
sent to the cleaners during the sum-
mer vacation. It took forty men to
do the job.
Last Monday, Dr. John M. Sayles
discussed changes in the Publica-
tions Office with a small group.
These changes included movement.
of the partitions in order to enlarge
the offices and working places of
such activities as the SraTe Co1.ecn
News and the Statesman, In other
words, the changes were effected to
provide more room to work in and
less room in which to lounge.
With these few students he con-
ducted an impromptu tour of the
school. He pointed out that the ad-
ministration has gone to consider
able expense to redecorate and re-
finish the various rooms and floors
throughout the school, particularly
the basement of Draper. All this
has been done in an effort to curb,
and, if possible, eliminate, the mis-
use of the buildings by thoughtless
students,
Dr. Sayles stated that in the fu-
ture all such juvenile and incon-
siderate practices will have to stop.
Furthermore, he indicated that he
has put the matter into the hands
of the student body and it is now
up to them.
In conclusion, he intimated that
if there were continued violations
of the rules, he might be forced to
take drastic action in order to stop
them and punish the offenders. In
this case, he referred particularly
to the proper disposal of cigarettes.
Some of the more conspicuous of
the renovations include the sand-
ing and refinishing of floors, the
painting of the Commons, the
Lounge, and the locker rooms, and
the repairing of the electrical and
heating systems. Since the sprink-
em has been repaired and
wn reseeded, the campus will
again be available for use by the}
Intra-Mural Football League.
Draft Boards to Decide
Deferment for Students
Very little is known at the present
time as to the working of the Se-
lective Service Act in relation to
State College men who are 21 years
old or over. The matter of defer-
ment for college students is wholly
in the hands of each local draft
board and depends solely upon the
condition of their respective quotas.
Many of the twenty-one-year-olds
have returned to college after hav-
ing received their questionnaires
and expect at any minute to answer
the call of Uncle Sam. Many,
ing it useless to return for
a time, have not returned,

fessor of History, studied the Chi-
nese Question in Peru this summer,
Dr. Stewart also took the oppor-
tunity to observe general conditions
in the country and attend the Uni-
versity of San Marcos Summer
School,
World War II receives as much
attention high in the Andes as it
does in New York or Albany; though
at present it is somewhat subordin-
ated by a recent outbreak of the
perennial boundary dispute with
Ecuador, From his own observa-
tion, Dr. Stewart believes that,
while public opinion is divided, the
governmental policy is definitely
pro-American and anti-Axis?

Stewart Home From Peru—
Feels They Will Back U. S.
Shapely, but not tidy!
Lest some American Universities
feel a bit smug about their ivy-cov-
ered walls, Dr. Stewart points out
that San Marcos is the oldest Uni-
versity in the Western Hemisphere,
being founded in the sixteenth cen-
tury.
The opportunity of speaking on a
special broadcast, with representa-
tives of many Latin American coun-
tries, was perhaps the biggest thrill
of his stay in Lima. Besides a gra-
phic impression of the Peruvian
situation, Dr, Stewart brought back
a poncho and a large sack of books,
most of them written in Spanish.
The charming wanderer looks
very fit after his “winter” in the
Andes and announces that he is
“ready to go" at his duties as Pro-
fessor of Social Studies.
For those who seek further in-
formation about the “South Ameri-
can Way," Dr. Stewart conducts a
course in Hispanic-American history
every Monday, Wednesday and Fri-
day at 10:10, Room 200.

City Club Invites State
To Enter Photo Contest
The City Club of Albany has
invited all State College students
interested in photography to
participate in the “Photograph
Albany” contest which it is
sponsoring to stimulate better
planning of the city of Albany.
Since considerable talent was
displayed in the work of those
amateur photographers whose
work was exhibited in Draper
Hall last year, it is expected
that State will be well repre-
sented in this contest.
Subject matter must have di-
rect application to city planning,
and all entries must be delivered
at the City Club of Albany, 257
State Street, before September
29, 1941, Further rules may be
found on the bulletin board out-
side the Co-op.

lightly turns to thoughts of rivalry.
With guerrilla warfare already rag-
ing on the campus, the keenest com-
petition in years seems a certainty.
Employing fifth column tactics,
‘44 scored the first blow. Under the
impression that they were being
“rushed,” six trusting freshmen were
de-trousered.
The concentration of the Frosh
men in Sayles Hall gives the verdant
ones a unique opportunity for or-
ganization. This may prove a boom-
erang, however, since any maraud-
ing Sophs will always know where
to lay their ham-like hands on a
few freshmen. .
Rivalry was as scarce in Frosh
Camp as swizzle-sticks at a WOTU
meeting. The fact that there were
three Sophs and forty-nine frosh
may have caused the usually daunt-

Student Group
Works to Keep
Buildings Clean
Tibbetts Requests Cooperation;
Campus Commission Makes
New College Regulations
Creation of a new Campus Com-
mission was made public this week
by Student Council with the an-
nouncement of a _ nine-member
group headed by Patricia Latimer,
“44.
Almost immediately after its ap-
pointment, the Commission met, and
drew up the following student-ac-
tivity regulations:
1. Smoking shall be permitted
only in the Commons and the Pub-
Heations Office.
2. Cigarette butts and ashes shall
be placed only in
provided recepta-
cles.
3, All waste ma-
terials shall be
placed in refuse
containers.
4. All enting
shall be limited to
the Annex and
Cafeteria Areas,
5. All notes in
student mailboxes
that are not at
lenst 2" by 4” in
size and dated on
the outside, will
be removed,
6. All posters not approved by
the Campus Commission before be-
ing posted will be removed.
“These measures necessitate 100%
student cooperation,” said Ralph
Tibbetts, president of Student Asso-
ciation, “since penalties have no
place in an intelligent student or-
ganization.”
Campus Commission is designed
to provide major impetus in the
drive to keep the College buildings
clean, and the appointment of a
member of Student Council as the
head of this commission is an at-
tempt to centralize control and en-
force the rules.
Ralph Tibbetts
Members of the Commission work- |
ing with Miss Latimer are: Owen
Bombard, George Kunz, Verna
Snyder, and Una Underwood, jun-
fors; and Harold Ashworth, Ger-
trude Bove, Katherine Herdman,
and Betram Kiley, sophomores.
Sayles, Nelson at Meetings
Dr. John M. Sayles, President of
the college, and Dr. Milton G, Nel-

Sunday to participate in educational
conferences at Lake Placid, New

Regents Name Stoddard
As University President
The New York State Board of
Regents has announced the se-
lection of Dr, George D. Stod-
dard, Dean of the Graduate
School of the University of
Towa and a leading authority in
the field of child development
as the successor to Dr. Ernest E.
Cole as State Commissioner of
Education and President of the
University of the State of New
York. Dr, Cole has been asked
to remain as Commissioner un-
til July 1, although he will reach
the statutory age limit of sev-
enty on November 18, The com-
missioner-elect, Dr. Stoddard,
is forty-four years old and is
well-known as the author of
several books and articles on
education and psychology.
Annex Prices Up
With Food Rise
The vastly increased cost of food
and miscellaneous materials was
given by Miss Laura Thompson of
the Cafeteria as the cause of the
higher prices prevailing in the Cafe-
teria and Annex.
The effect of the increase has
been chiefly felt in the Annex
where sandwiches and milk, both of
which sold last year for five cents,
are now seven cents, With the ex-
ception of a few side dishes, prices
in the Cafeteria are the same as
last year.

as straws, wax paper and napkins,
have soared to what in some cases
is double their former
|Piaines Miss Thompson, She added
that the present seven cent sand-
wich is larger than last year's nickel
one.
Miss Thompson believes that it is
too early in the semester to gauge
accurately the effect of the new
price scale on sales in the Annex,
but that a slight decrease in vol-
ume seems evident. If there is no
further increase in the wholesale
price of milk, a reduction from the
present cost of seven cents may be
possible.
| Miss Thompson has shown her-
self amenable to the suggestion that
a larger bottle of milk be offered.
She is willing to substitute a one-
|third bottle of milk for ten cents in
| place of the present seven cent half-
jpint. If sufficient demand for both
sizes exists the two would be put
jon sale. In terms of quarts, the
Jlarger bottle would repres
slight increase over the current
|price, selling at thirty cents per
quart instead of the present twenty-
eight cents.
The News will shortly conduct a
poll at Student Assembly to solicit
jopinion on this question.
Dower Answers Big
One of State's
Campus Queen _ bicycle-
Bea Dower, ‘41, rather hopeless
ly submitted an entry to a con-
test sponsored by Mademoisclle
Magazine, last June, One part
of the contest required con-
testants to “air” their ideas on
how to better business in de-
partment stores, Bea's un-Scot-
lish nature prompted her to re-
ply, “Free coke bars for all pa-
trons.” Maybe the judges of the
contest were Irish, too, Anyway,
after she had completely given
up hope, Bea received a request
to appear at Lord and Taylor's
for an interview. There, being
viewed and interviewed with
satisfaction, she was given a
position in the store. At present
she is employed in the dress de-
partment, but she expects to be
transferred to the advertising
staff soon.

orientation meeting Monday after-
noon at 3:30 in Room 20. Speakers
representing every phase of the
varied activity program of the col-
lege will be present t> describe
briefly what their activity has to
offer.
The program comes as an intro-
duction to Activities Day, which is
scheduled for Saturday, October 4.
|Formerly freshmen have chosen}
their program solely on personal
judgment. The new two-fold plan
will afford each fi man a more
definite basis on which to make his
selection and will help to prevent
freshmen from going out for too
many activities.
Representatives to Speak
John Ralph Tibbetts, President of
Student Association, will preside at
News, Debate Council, Pedagogue,
Music Council, the Statesman, Stu-
dent Christian Association, Men's
and Women's Athletic Associations,
Newman Club, Menorah and the de-
partmental clubs will speak briefly
on their activity. Thus the freshmen
will know the definite organization
of each, and can sign up for the
activity in which they are really
interested.
Registration For Activities
On Activities Day, the class of 1945
will go to the Commons in the
morning to register for extra-class
work, Mary Susan Wing, '42, has|
charge of signing up the freshmen
at the various tables.
In the afternoon, there will be
dancing in the Commons from 2 to
5 M. to music furnished by the}
vie system, The traditional bonfire
will be held in the evening in the|
field between Sayles and Pierce

Low Tax Sales
Cited as Cause
Of Budget Cut
Full Check of All Class Lists
Planned by Finance Board;
Grads Among Defaulters
Edward L, Cooper, Treasurer of
the Student Board of Finance, has
j|stated that a cut in the college
budget may be inevitable, due
to the fact that the decreased regis-
tration will not permit the collec-
tion of the $14,287 prescribed by
the Student Association in its
budget meeting last spring. Even a
100% return will create a shortage,
Thus far a total of only $11,704 has
been realized from the sale of 836
tickets, making the returns fall
$2,5 4 short of the required amount.
Mr. Cooper said that a check of all
class lists will be made in an en-
deavor to find out why a more grati-
fying response has not been forth-
coming. Those found at fault will be
contacted at once and corrections
made.
Tax Not Enforced
Last year's decree by Dr. John M.
Sayles to the effect that payment
of student tax would be mandatory
before any student could enter clas-
ses has evidently not been enforced,
This may be due to Dr. Nelson's
wish that no system be set up to
prevent students from entering
Classes. As a result, students were
not asked to present tax tickets as
well as class cards upon reporting
for instructions,
The decrease in the registration is
also a major factor contributing to
the shortage. Such a marked fall
in enrollment was not taken into
full consideration when the Student
Association voted on its budget last
spring,
Grads Won't Buy Tax
Mr. Cooper stated that with two
requests for refunds on tickets from
grads, no member of the graduate
jclass has a tax in his possession,
Great difficulty has been encount-
ered in trying to convince the grad-
uates of the advantage of the stu-
dent activity program, “If the grad-
uates could be sold on the wisdom
of a tax purchase,” Mr, Cooper ex-
plained, “it would be a long step
in the right direction.”
If the quota has not been reached
jafter a thorough check-up, all ac-
tivities will suffer a cut in their
allotment, in spite of the fact that
the main reason for Dr. Sayles’
afore-mentioned decree was to pre-
|yent any such budget cuts in the
future,
Newman Club Slates

Newman Club's social program for
the coming year will continue in
