— By MARY LIZ SULLIVAN —

It’s amazing, but outside of a few
minor casualties where the turkey
got the better of the hatchet, every-
body seems to have had a wonderful
time over the vacation. Isn’t it won-
derful to be back to school working
again? Now we begin thinking about
Christmas and it’s only 18 more
days ‘till we have another vacation.
Speaking of the glorious season
Jeads us to think of the WAA bulle-
tin board which is all decked out
again in the Christmas colors. "Lil
Mindy is the cleverest gal! So please
take heed of the signs on the board
and “be athletic while you wait.”

Something happened to the volley-
pall tourney—just exactly what no
one can seem to agree on, but it
did fizzle out. The frosh and Sophs
played their game and were waiting
for the second game with the winner
of the Junior-Senior tilt and they
are still waiting. That’s where the
trouble came in. The other teams
either couldn’t get enough kids who
were willing to play or else they
couldn’t agree on a time to play.
However another tourney is being
started by WAA, it’s the ping-pong
tournament which should begin
soon; If this is as successful as the
MAA ping-pong tourney was, we will
have nothing but praise for those
participating. Last year the tourna-
ment was won by Ray Weiss and we
note from the sign-up sheet that she
has signed up for this year’s tourna-
ment.

Army-Navy

Side-tracking for a minute or two,
we hear that quite a few people are
getting new tubes for their radios
so they will be able to listen to the
Army-Navy game tomorrow. We are
renting a radio for the afternoon,
‘We hold to the statement previously
made in this column (a week ago)
that Army will win by more than
two touchdowns. They will win, that
is, unless something drastic happens
to three or four of the members of
their team,

About Spiders
‘And then we would like to recom-
mend that those sadists who go
around picking up spiders to tor-
ment people with, be given a list of
the other sports we have here at
State so they could spend their lei-
sure time “doing something con-
structive” for a change. And some
people wonder why we wake up in
the middle of the night screaming,
“Take them away, they have 32 legs
and they're crawling all over me!

Basketball Starts

The season starts again as prac-
tice for one sport in which most of
the college is interested, begins. We
are, of course, talking about the
basketball townament in which
there is usually so much keen compe-
tition. Last year, approximately six-
teen teams ticipated in the league
and the rivalry spirit evident from
the beginning was carried through-
out the season, It is expected that

teams, if not more, will

again enter this The schedule
would go along faster, if the teams
would have all their 's present
on time and if could avoid
postponing games » were the
main faults in the play-offs la
year. The commuters are also plan-
ning on having a team participate
in the league this year. If so, it will
be the first tim For our money,
this shows more spirit’ than some
of the houses that are “on campus.”
It seems like a difficult project as
most of the games are played at
7:00 in the evening and the commu-
ters either have to go home rather
late or in som ses arrange to
in some group house or at the dorm.
There are many commuters that
have also come out for sports this
year, So far, the commuters have
shown spirit, at least in this depart-
ment and we wish them a lot of
luck with their basketball team.

Basketball Season Starts;

Squads Are

Baker, Sweeney, Quinn
Take Over Practices

WAA officially opened the bas-
ketball season this week when prac-
tices were held Monday afternoon
and Wednesday night.

Sweeney and Baker, Juniors, and
Quinn, ’48, were in charge of these
scrimmages and ably directed the
proceedings. About fifty women
came out for practice on each of
the days, with the frosh outnum-
bering the upperclassmen about two
to one.

Frosh Guards

The frosh have an over abund-
ance of good guards, but are lack-
ing forwards. Of course, not all of
'49’s basketball players showed up
for the practice scrimmages, but
they will have to work hard to de-
velop some point-scoring players.

Last Wednesday, the outstanding
group of forwards was that of New-
man, composed of Maggio, Straub,
and Cooper. Maggio played an out-
standing game putting the ball
through the hoop from the halfway
mark several times,

Pedisich, Baker, and Quinn made
up a snappy set and outplayed
their opponents. Dunn, Diehl, Dif-
fin, Shapiro, and Sweeney, last
year's returning veterans of the
guard posts were ably holding down
goal tending positions.

Anderson and Joslin were the two
most promising forwards of the
frosh group ‘vhile Midgely, Hawkins,
and Moberg were excellent on de
fense. :

Teams Enter

Fourteen teats have been enter-
ed in the WAA tournament with
one new addition from last year,
Western Hall, the new team, is a
squad composed entirely of fresh-
men, Psi Gamma, Kappa Delta,
Beta Zeta, Gamma Kappa Phi, Al-
pha Epsilon Phi, Rares, Chi Sigma
Theta, Phi Delta, Newman Hall,
Wren Hall, Commuters Club, Sayles
Hall and the Whiz Kids, have also
entered the league. As yet Stokes
Hall, Farrell House, and Moreland
Hall have not entered but it ts hop-
ed that they will do so, so that
every house on campus will have a
team representing it. The list of
players and the captains must be
in the hands of one of the captalas
no later than today at 4:30 so that
the schedule may be planried.

Practices are being planned for
the next few weeks and the tourna
ment will probably start the week
before Christmas vacation on the
fifteenth, ‘The next general prac-
tice will be tomorrow at 2:30
New Rule

following rules which will regulate
the schedule:

Wagner Takes
Ping Pong Game
In Final Match

The MAA ping pong singles came
to an end this week as Paul Wag-
ner, new at State this year, came
out on top by beating Herb Weiner
Wednesday afternoon. Wagner,
dark horse of the tournament,
weeded out his opponents and
steadily worked himself up into the
finals. The results didn’t come as
too much of a surprise since Wag-
ner had beaten such formidable
foes as Phil Lashinsky and Art
Kaufman, defending champ.

Both Wagner and Weiner were in
top form but after Wagner got
warmed up he couldn't be held
down. Weiner got the serve in the
first game and obtained a beautiful
lead with 4-1, increasing it to 14-3.
‘Then Wagner pepped up and really
started to play using a terrific slam.

evertheless Weiner took the game
21-18. In the second game the first
six points went to Wagner and the
next four to Weiner. Weiner pull-
ing his score up from 15-7 to 15-11
only to lose, 21-12, It seemed that
this would be a_ close final but
Wagner took Weiner 21-8
third, using a terrific cut that kept
Weiner reaching to all sides of the
table. The first 16 points of the
fourth game were evenly split. This
time Weiner turned the tables on
Wagner and had him hopping all
over to retrieve his trick shots but
Wagner again won, 21-12, The
score now stood three to one, the
finals being a four out of seven
match, The tension was high be-
tween both players, since if Wagner
took this game he would be the
new champion. In the fifth game
Weiner put forth his best effort by
slicing both during volleys and on

rves, The first six were Weiner's
and it seemed that he would win
this game but Wagner pulled out of
his slump and won, 21-18.

All five of the games were ep-
tionally fast lasting only four to
five minutes each. The opponents

The following was given tous to
write in feature opinion form, rath-
er than as a communication. Sports
Ed. Note.

It’s good to see MAA get under-
way, but the question still remains:
“How long will MAA last on camp-
us?” Only seven fellows showed
up for elections. This is a very
small percentage of the fellows here
at State. There is no reason for
this small attendance at the meet-
ing which was given due publicity.
It is impossible to keep an orgas-
ization of this sort on campus and
appropriate money for it when it
benefits such a small number of
students, How can MAA expect the
student body to become interested
in an organization in which fellows
themselves show no interest.

MAA has its arguments too.
'There’s talk about not being able
to get the gym because the girls
had signed up firs
and lack of opposing teams
grant the first point, but the fel-
lows that used to be here had
el ss too. There is enough oppo-
sition, but could MAA put a team
on the floor right now?

The number of fellows coming
back in January is certainly en-
couraging, but it looks like ath.
letics here at State will be at a
minimum until then,
ible to have an athletic or
ion without athletic material,
and it must be admitted that the
fellows in general are not interest-
ed or aren't able to play sports, For
those who aren't able, there's an
excuse. However, for those just un-
interested, it’s about time they de-
veloped some school spirit and did
their bit to put State on top again.

Hats off to the few fellows who
are showing an interest and mak-
ing an effort to boost MAA. Per-
haps the fellows who come back in

ry will set about to put State
in the athletic world—it does
not look as if the fellows here now
are going to do too much about it!

Sayles Summons Students

To Discuss Assembly Cuts

Because there have been too
many vacant seats in assembly
lately, Dr. John M. Sayles,
President of the College, is sum-
moning a rather lengthy list of
students to his office to discuss
their assembly cuts.

Assemblies were inaugurated
for both social and government-
al purposes. It is only through
the assembly program that the
student body, as a whole, has a
chance to voice its opinions on
the issues at hand.

This year, the same as every
other year, all students are re-
quired to attend every assembly
program. Only those Seniors
who are practice teaching at *
this time are excused.

All those who make an-
nouncements in assembly should
contact the delegate appointed
by Student Council for the reg-
istering of their attendance.
The name of this delegate will
be announced in the near future.

Wakin Defeats
Five Candidates
In Close Battle

Bertha Wakin, "47,
Junior member to the Student
Board of Finance in the revote
which was held last Friday in as-
sembly. Miss Wakin won the elec-
tion on the fifth distribution by 32
votes.

A revote for this election was nec-
essary because in the first election
no candidate succeeded in achiev-
ing a quota, It was felt that this
was partly due to the extraordinary
number of blank ballots (82). For
the latter reason, plus the fact that
certain preferential voting experts
believe that the achievement of a
quota is essential for election to an
office, Myskania, the Judicial
Branch of the State College govern-
ment, passed down the decision that
revolting was necessary.

Christmas Season To Open With “Tinsel And Tableaux’’

With glistening tinsel and spark-
ling songs, State will welcome the
holiday season with their annual
Big-8.

State's Christmas season opens its
doors next Thursday night to usher
in peace, harmony and good will
with the religious clubs’ annual
Big-8, “Tinsel and Tableaux.” A
true spirit of Christmas will reign
as each religious group displays the
tale of their interpretation of
Christmas.

A hushed audience will gaze upon
the reverent scenes of Christ’s birth
in Bethlehem as Mary and Joseph,
Gloria McFerran and Bill Mallory,
plod along their yearly journey to
Nazareth.

As Newman's, “Venite Adoremus
reinacts the events of the
Christmas Eve, a chorus of voices
carolling Christmas Hymns, will
ring out in His praise. Then the
house lights will grow bright and

State will retrace its steps from
Bethlehem back to Page, still nour-
ishing a tender spirit of Christmas
in their hearts.

But there are other types of
Christmas celebration, and when
the house lights dim once more, a
sleepy child, played by Muriel Ru-
bin, slumbers peacefully on oblivi-
ous to her surroundings. Her
grandfather appears and with a
tender twinkle in his eyes as he
gazes upon the sleeping child, he
begins his tale.

A chorus of voices sings softly in
the background as the story of
Hanukah, the Jewish holiday
which coincides with Christmas, is
unfolded ‘n the child's dreams,

When the house lights go down
for the third time, the program
takes on a lighter veln. Good old
Santa, Joe Palevsky, laughs his
jolly way onto the stage in the SCA
skit. In traditional good heart-

ed manner, he shall brighten the
lives of two orphaned children and
become lord and master of the SCA
toyshop.

A traditional American scene will
highlight this part of the entertain-
ment and Snow White and the
seven dwarfs will supplement the
duets, trios, ballet number and tap
dancing which make up the pro-
gram. The SCA presentation will
feature mostly individual acts,

As the third annual Christmas
Big-8 draws to a close, a general
holiday atmosphere will prevail
over the audience. State's Christ-~
mas comes early in the season and
the Big-8 helps to launch it well on
its way.

At the close of the evening, State's
population will leave for home,
marching briskly over the snow,
singing merrily as they go, “Jingle
bells! Jingle bells!”

Assembly Contest °

Whitney Proposes Date For Student Union Day;

Chairman Announces Committees For State Fair
Assembly today will feature the traditional rivalry sing be-
tween the Sophomore and freshmen classes. At Student Coun-

cil meeting Wednesday night

plans were made for a Student

Union Day to be held some time in December.

The Sophomores will open the assembly program with their
fight song and the freshmen will follow with theirs. Next
will come the rival songs to each of the two classes and the
program will end with the singing of the Alma Maters to

original words and music.

So the rabbit, who is nobody’s fool, catches his
furry rabbit’s foot in the gun, accidently pulls
the trigger, and “bing,” the hunter is lying flat
on his back on the ground. And if you don’t be-
lieve it, you can go down to the Louisville, Ken-

resting” and see for yourself. (And then if you
sit down and stay awhile, maybe you'll even get
some nice rabbit stew for dinner from one of

2, OF MICE AND MEN
Last Wednesday morning, two little Saratoga
Springs mice got bored with their cheesy exist-
ance and decided to look for al ittle excitement. So
they entered the house of a tax-paying citizen,
crept into the kitchen and began to gnaw matches.
Soon the whole kitchen was ablaze and the mice
stood in the corner licking their whiskers in their
excitement. Enter the firemen. Exeunt the two
rodents (before anybody even got a chance to
press charges for arson, too!)

3. DOES YOUR PIGEON LOOK DIFFERENT
LATELY?
A very tired homing pigeon fought its way through
rain and sleet sometimes last week, and soon he
was all petered out, so... he made a forced
landing in the lobby of Ellis hospital, Schenectady.
If your pigeon is missing, the leg band number
is AU-45?S2-3815. If he is yours and you are giving
a reward for his return, communicate with me
and I will tell you who has possession of the
pigeon.

NEGRO TROOPS BARRED OM SHIPS

We hate to end this week's column with a sour note,
but have just read in the papers that 123 Negro troops
have been barred from sailing home on ships from
Le Havre along with white soldiers aboard the naval
aircraft carrier Grotan because th was “no means
of segregating the men.” We have read a lot about
the equality of man (and that other countries should
follow democracy as practiced in the U. 8.) and how
all our men have fought together and died together.

fact that we can also lve together. It’s about time

STATE COLLEGE NEWS, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1945

— By MARY LIZ SULLIVAN —

Some kind soul keeps track of the

thought that because Army won the

the Rose Bowl, This, however, is
far from true. Army was the first

until almost as late as Thanksgiv-
ing but because of that well known

was not given in time and the com-

to this story is—if you want to have

Snoop Explained

Incidentally, the Sport Snoop is
the other half of the inquiring re-
porter and it knocks itself out try-
ing to outdo everybody else in the
snooping field to inquire into the
inner parts of the minds here in
school. The purpose of the column
is to give the kids a chance to air
their opinions on various sports
questions to see how some of the
students feel about a certain topic,

About Mayo

We were wondering whether or
not to include Eddie Mayo’s seven
“musts” in this week's issue (see the
last col, over), The reason was
that we didn’t know whether or not
enough people would know who Ed-
die Mayo was, So we asked one of
our illustrious columnists, “Do you
know who Eddie Mayo is?" “Why,
of course, don't be silly, he’s the one
that runs the clinic with his broth-
er.” Now that really floored us!
By the way, we are not in the hab-
it of divulging names and so we
wouldn't dream of saying who told
us that, but we have only three col-
umnists and it wasn't Mindy, it
wasn't Hilt—so look and see who's
left. Now we wouldn't dream of
telling but . .

Athletic Pledges

The sororities are glad to have
thelr pledges for more than one
reason. It seems that in quite a
few cases, these pledges are filling
in the necessary spaces on their
sorority teams. This is a good idea
as in this way probably several
frosh who would otherwise not get
to play on regular teams will have
an opportunity to play In the lea-
gue.

Sports Director

Monday, Betty Margot, ‘47, was
elected Sports Director of Sayles.
As far as we know, this may be the
case in a few of the dorms and
group houses but it is not true of
all of them. We think that on the
whole, \t is an excellent idea, Too
often, in the smaller group houses
especially, there is no one person
who is made responsible for the
sport teams in which the house
participates, If each house had one
such director, who would keep track
of the games the team was suppos-
ed to play, it would eliminate the
confusion which often arises be-
cause of the lack of such a director.
Congratulations Margot! Maybe
some of the other group houses will
follow Sayles’ example and elect
thelr director soon.

Oh, you're dreaming of a white

Sports Advice
Given By Mayo;
States 7 Musts

By PAULA TICHY

In last month's issue of the St.
Bona Venture, Eddie Mayo, whose
excellent work in promoting the
Detroit Tigers to World Champion-
ship won him the Sporting News
“Oscar” last season, in a speech
given at the college, listed the fol-
lowing seven “musts” for success in
athletes:

1, First, you must have an abid-
ing interest in baseball. In his es-
tumation abiding, all-consuming in-
terest in basepall, was of primary
amportance. The budding sports-
man must bear patiently the breaks
of the game, wait panently for the
big chance that is bound to come
his way, and keep his ambitions
alive and fixed on a goal.

2. He stressed physical condition
and put part.cular emphasis on the
fact that good hving habits and a
well-rounded routine are character-
istics of an athlete,

3, This point called for self-
study—a young athlete should take
stock of his abilities and assets to
that he can gauge his way and rate
himself accordingly. By recogniz-
ing his faults and shortcomings, he
can correct himself and better his
game,

4, He must hustle all the time.
Speed, on the ball field, in all his
actions, and thoughts, in making
decisions, is desirable,

5. Mayo stressed the importance
of continuing in school until one is
finished with his education, wheth-
er he be in high school, college or
in the minor leagues.

6. This was a plea to the young-
sters to heed the words of wisdom
and advice of their parents and
others in a position to guide them.

7. With this final point, Mayo
was deadly serious, without elabor-
ation he admonished the youthful
members of his audience, “Always
keep faith with God.” *

Basketball Starts
After Vacation

Basketball has soared to new
heights this week, when more than
seventy-five women turned out for
Practice on the scheduled days.
Lhese open practices will continue
until after Christmas vacation,
when leagues games will be sched-
uled.

Sweeney, "47, co-captain of the
basketball league, has stated, "So
many of the students have request-
ed these practice sessions that we
have found it necessary to plan
them until vacation.”

Some Additions

Latest addition to the basketball
scrimmages were Mickey Navy, ‘46,
Golden and Owens, freshmen, and
Tronser, ‘48. Krumkoltz, 48, a
transfer, has proven to be an out-
standing guard, and will bolster up
AEPhi's team on the defense.

Gamma Kap's team, with Pedi-
sich, Young and Quinn, will prob-
ably be the team to beat. They are
out to keep that cup and will be a
hard combination to upset. BZ will
have a strong setup with Baker and
Maginnes in the forward Spots and
Dunn and Diffin in the guard posts.
They came in second last year, ina
close fight, and will have experienc-
ed substitutes.

Whiz Kids

The Whiz Kids, a comparatively

new team, will be in the fight right
to the end, with Tilden tossing
them through the hoop and Ricci
performing on the defense. KD
has a strong, experienced team this
year and will be up with the win-
er’
General practice will be held
again tomorrow at 2:30. Captains
Sweeney, Baker, and Quinn have
asked that all women please be on
lime.

Myskania -- A Reform

The MYSKANIA cry has gone up again. However, it is no
longer the “to be or not to be” cry, but rather, shall we re-

An open meeting was called on Wednesday to discuss this
question and to formulate tangible plans for reformation

that would later be presented

in Assembly as a motion. Os-

tensibly, the meeting was proposed to garner a maximum
of student opinion on the subject. Sadly enough, however,
attendance was almost nil. Approximately twenty-five stu-
dents exhibited enough interest in the session to be present.

Former Film Reviewer Criticizes
Frivolous Movies Shown Today

By CAROL CLARK

after ten months as motion pic-
ture rey-ewer for the New Yorke;
Wolcott Gibbs has resigned. His
reasons, given in an article in the
Saturday RK of Literature were
briefly these ‘The cinema resists
rational criticism almost as firmly
as a six-day bicycle race, or per-
ninety per cent of
the moving pictures exhibited in
America are so vulgar, witless and
dull that it is preposterous to write
about them in a publication not in-
tended to be read while chewing
gum."

Mr. Gibbs’ article was written
from the viewpoint of a critic who
has been trying madly to find some-
thing intelligent to say about pres-
ent-day movies, but the criticism
might have come from any thought-
ful movie-goer.

Ostensibly, movies are purely for
entertainment, but their educational
and propaganda values are well rec-
ognized. Escape from realities
seems to be the dominant trend in
film praduction today, even in some
of the most violent of war-inspired
movies, Adventure propaganda of-
fered in such a film as “The Span-
ish Main,” for instance, would hard-
ly be taken seriously by any adult,

but a similar plot transferred to a
modern setting in a picture like
“Confidential Agent" might be
considered a true portrayal of an
espionage system.

Sometimes the propaganda ts
harder to detect, as In “You Came
Along” but the same inference is
always there the conflict is re-
solved and the hero completes his
task in a blaze of glor;

Not only do movies di
general, b
torical facts in an effort to make
Ife bright. Lately there has been
a trend towards the production of
biographies, of which “A Song To
Remember" and “Rhapsody in
Blue" are notable examples. Actual
events and well-known character-
istics of the central figures are dis-
regarded and the movie-going pub-
Ne is deceived into believing that
they have gained a true picture of
the person's life.

Mr, Gibbs made an exception of
documentary films and frank melo-
drama, ag the first has very little
opportunity for distortion, and the
second is not intended to be taken
seriously, He blamed the public for
believing that “anything is possible,
even perfect happiness.”

MAIL CALL

Bernie Perlman, ‘42, expects to be home soon. Fol-
lowing are some exerpts from a recent letter of his:

“our trip included Switzerland, and of course, like
every other GI, I came away with a wrist watch and
cigarette lighter. The jimitations on the exchange of
currency prevented me from bringing back the usual
souvenirs, but some day I'll bring myself back to
Switzerland. It’s a country right out of a child's fairy
tale book. The people were all more than hospitable to
us. GI's have really been on their good behavion while
on furlough there . . . I like the English, and I'm us-
ually called upon to defend England at least once a
week from a new crop of ‘Anglophobes who know only
the lower class English people . . . Last February while
I was on DS at the Pathfinder Group field, Chal-
grave—just outside of Oxford, I became acquainted
with an English family . . . the ruses may be regarded
as a typical middle class English family. They are
hosiptable to the point where it hurts. I was accepted
as a friend, and whatever they had was at my dis-
posal, even unto Mr. Cruse's pajamas . . . Despite the
papers, movies and magazines, GI Joe is a very com-
plex person, made up of all kinds of people just as
‘America . . . you can’t go far without some dumb
guy who'll tell you that of all the European peoples,
he prefers the Germans ” Then, after reading
Bernie’s letter, I leafed through the pages of a “New
York Post” and ironically my gaze came to rest on
printed lines such as “Germany developed the dead-
Hest poison gas in the world by testing it on concentra~
tion camp inmates” and “ten year old Russian child-
ren were kidnapped for slavery in German war fact-
ories as part of the Nazi campaign of ‘extermination
through work’ according to evidence submitted today
at the war cirmes trial of 21 of Hitler’s top leaders.”
I wonder if some pretty fraulien’s smile or an ex-
storm trooper's pleasing personality is enough to erase
the evergrowing list of German atrocities and make
these same German people “preferred” to all the other
European people by not very far-seeing Americans.

ollege Close-ups

By CULLINAN & HILT

In reference to a quot mentioned
in this column on November 30, we
would like to make the following
correction. It seems that the Hill-
tops of Hartwick is the paper of
Hartwick College and not Oneonta
State Teachers’ College as we mis-
quoted in that issue.

Now that we've cleared up that
situation, we shall continue in our
usual rut.

‘One of the most obvious methods
of gleaning close-ups from other
colleges is to ask the fellow who's
been there. We have, therefore,
asked our transfers to do the honors
this week.

Mervyn McClintock, '48, Buffalo
8. T. C.

“gtate is by far more democratic
in as much as the college is run by
students without interference from
the administration. At Buffalo,
there is a closely knit administra-
tive ‘rule, evident even in the as-
sembly programs which are set up
by faculty members.”

Beatrice Sternfeld, 48, Ohio State U

“Tt is difficult to compare these
two colleges because Ohio State
has an enrollment of about 15,000
students. The student body ts too
large for a weekly assembly, con-
sequently executive work is carried
on by representatives chosen from
every group house, and voting must,
also take place by house elections.

“At Ohio, sororities and fraterni-
ties play an integral part in the
college program. They are highly
conpetitive, forming ‘strong pres-
sure groups for school offices but I
feel that the independent organiza-
tion equals the Greeks in this re-
spect.

“T have found here at State a
high degree of congeniality and co-
operation among students and fa-
culty. I would like also to stress
the fact that State's dorms are far

superior to those at Ohio, not to
mention the fact that Albany itself
is a far more attractive city than
Columbus.”

Genevieve Dwyer, ’48, Cortland
8.T.C.
m the whole Cortland is not so
well organized in student govern-
ment affairs, Student Council being
merely a routine position with little
or no prestige. Because of the rela-
tive unimportance of these offices at
Cortland; there is little competition
for school offices and naturally I was
somewhat taken back by the politics
and pressure so dominant here. Also
the proportion of social life is much
greater here perhaps due to sorori-
ties, which at Cortland are more
residence halls.”

Faith Snow, ’47, William Smith
College

“Our student government at Wil-
liam Smith was quite similar to that
here at State, However I was par-
ticularly amazed and baffled by the
unusual amount of yoting taking
place in State's assemblies. Could
not a part of the tedious, routine
business be taken care of at another
time?

“Again, the activities there are
more of a social nature with the gap
between Seniors and freshmen prac-
tically non-existent. Of course the
small enrollment of students, to-
gether with the absence of soror
ties makes for these social rela-
tionships.”

Jane McGuinness, "48,
Our Lady of Elms.

“Assemblies at State are good!
Naturally I was much more restrict-
ed at Our Lady of Elms and it is dif-
ficult getting used to this increased
freedom. For the same reason it is
difficult. to get to know the students
around school, though the group
house helps a great deal in making
friends.”

SHIRLEY SIEGEL PASSOW

A word of advice from one who
should know better: try not to take
sides in the labor imbroglio—yet.
At the moment the fireworks are
distorting the national scene too
completely for mere mortal to eval-
uate justly.

Is management right? Are unions
irresponsible? Charles E. Wilson,
picket-bound president of General
Motors, remarked in passing as GM
cancelled its agreement with the
United Automobile Workers union
this week:

“In any new agreement which
may be worked out, General Mo-
tors will insist on provisions requir-
ing union responsibility and assur-
ance of uninterrupted production.”

Are the unions right? Then man-
agement is deliberately sabotaging
the reconversion, because industry
is more secure financially than it
was in any year before the war.
Tt can afford not to produce for
several months and still make profits
with the approaching repeal of the
excess profits tax.

Or at least these are the charges
of the United Electrical and Radio
Workers of America, who demand
an investigation of General Elec-
tric, Westinghouse, RCA and GM's
electrical division. Their claim is
that the companies are deliberately
withholding production with the
prime purpose of bre king the
unions and beating price controls

Or is the government right? And
if so, which branch of government?

tary of Labor Schwellenbach
the management-labor
postwar ft

“Frankness compels me to say
that since the war's end, there has
been more of a sense of fear and
more of a loss of faith than we had
even during the dire months of
early 1942,

“We are in the midst of a period
of industrial strife. I do not mean
to minimize its seriousness. It 1s
ugly. If prolonged, it will imperil

our reconversion to peacetime pro-
duction.”

‘Or would you rather be the Pres-
ident? Not at the moment, prob-
ably, if—like Mr. Truman—your
suggestion for easing the situation
was a_ restrictive measure con-
demned bitterly by organized labor.
Particularly would you rather not
be Mr. Truman if your measure had
been defeated by the House Military
Affairs Committee, and according-
ly buried.

The curious thing about the cur-
rent situation is that Congress this
week defeated three of the most out
and out anti-labor bills proposed in
many a moon, 1) Truman's anti-
strike bill, 2) A bill penalizing
unions heavily for violating no-
strike contracts. 3) A bill freezing
political activities of unions (Some
characters still don't like the way
CIO roused people into voting for
FDR.)

This same Congress has a flock
of illiberal legislation on its ledger.
But public opinion apparently is
sufficiently influential to dissuade
Congress from anti-union enthu-
slasm. Next year is 1946, you know.
Election, you know. Shall we be
blunt?

If things begin to look complex,
that's exactly what we'd intended.

But out of the complexity there
is hope for a mature solution. Man-
agement is no longer the great tin
god, whose refusal to open its books
to public examination must go Un-
questioned. Labor unions are too
canny, their members too well edu-
cated, to take refusal to arbitrate as
the last word in the fight for a de
cent living standard. Also, unions
recognize the need to accept public
responsibility—as witness the UAW’s
security offer to Ford. Finally, the
biggest voice of all—popular elec-
tion—will make itself heard in Con-
gress’ considerations. A solution 1s
more than probable in the next few
months.

Evolution - - -

Yes, it has happened here. The closed-door pol-
icy of one of the five religiously limited sororities
on campus has become, oppositely, an open-door
policy.

This week Beta Zeta quietly announced that a
constitutional change was made and approved by
its members and alumni. A change whereby all re-
ligious qualifications for membership have been
abolished, making the sorority non rian. Pro-
testant, Jew and Catholic alike are now eligible.
Thus BZ joins the ranks of Phi Gamma and Gamma
Kappa Phi—social organizations sans religious dis-
crimination.

Unquestionably, this step is a further indica-
tion that an open-minded student attitude is evolv-
ing slowly but surely. It points up the fact that
State is growing still and is courageous enough to
tid itself of hindering precedents. It reflects the

ble spirit of the young people of time
who have asked “Why?”—and have been restless
until a logical conclusion is reached.

A sorority’s initial purpose is friends

is based on common interests, more frequently
secular than religious, and compatibility. Girls of
the same faith may have none of the same every
day interests in common. The social organization
with religious affiliations, then, becomes artificial.
It is confining in that one often cannot join the
group of her choice, but must first consider re-
ligious denominations. Concurrently, the girls
within a sorority cannot accept 1 sororal sister
the girl whom they like, but who is of another faith.

A sorority’s second purpose is to develop. social
activity out of these friendships. Parties, social
meetings and faculty teas are held. ‘The common
meeting ground here is fun, laughter, cokes and
singing. Religious affiliations are even further from
social life than from friendship.

It would seem, therefore, that religious limita-
tions are not only artificial but obstacle in the
path of the social group called the sorority

Good Will Toward Kids..

Christmas, 1945, is nearly upon us the first
peace-time Christmas in four And with it
comes the so-called “Yuletide spirit.

‘There is hardly an appropriate definition for
this Linsel-spangled, yet warm, good feeling. It
seems to be a heterognous combination of sparkl-
ing Christmas trees and good will toward men
Traditionally, this sy is demonstrated by the
exchange of gifts, Perhaps the spirit is made tangi-
ble in this way perhaps “giving” is the real spirit
of Christmas.

This year, once again, we have an opportunity to
diffuse this seasonal good will not only among those
who are less fortunate than we. State is playing
Santa Claus tonight at the Albany Home for chil-
dren, Our small gifts and ntertainment will put
some sparkle in the eyes of those kids who haven't
known a real home Christmas, who are unfamiliar
with the time-honored customs of hanging stock-
ings and writing letters to Santa

It is little that we offer, but there is our chance
to prove that ours is a true “Yuletide spirit” by
giving until those boxes are overflowing. .

Assembly Poll
On Myskania

Questionaire Designed
To Obtain O penions
Of Student Association

‘The Myskania issue has been the
most controversial question in State
College for years. This year, it has
reached an all-time high. The 1946
Myskania realizes that there is dis-
sension among the students, and
would like to get practical statistics
with which to work.

Sponsors Poll

'A few days ago, Myskania came to
the State College News with the
request that the News sponsor a
poll on Myskania. Members of
Myskania drew up the questionnaire
and submitted it to the News Board
for approval. It was accepted.

‘The questionnaire is printed on
this page, and will be handed out
in assembly today in mimeographed
form. Approximately ten minutes
will be given during assembly for
the answering and checking of this
questionnaire. No one is to iden-
tify his questionnaire in any way

To Print Results

As mentioned before, this poll Is

spgasored by the State College

The Editor:al Staff of the

Board will tabulate the an-
wers given, interpret them, and
print them in the first issue after
the Christmas recess. Myskania
will have the privilege of seeing the
quest.cnnaires for its own interpret-
ation of student opinion.

Included in the questionnaire are
the specific issues which Myskan‘a
feels are of most interest to the
student body. The outstanding

are, perhaps,

and its method of choos:

the end of the questionnaire for

comments or criticism not specificly

Secret Society

Myskania, as it stands now, is an
honorary leadership society which
acts as the judicial body of the
State College government. The
members of this organ.zation have
requested the News to ask the stu-
dent body to answer these ques-
tions thoughtfully and sincerely, so

Board Explains
Benefit Provided
By InfirmaryFund

The Infirmary Fund of the State
College Student Association is per-
haps one of the least understood of
the benefits to be derived under
Student Association tax tickets.
Finance Board has undertaken to
explain this. situation.

Of the $20 paid each year per
student, $3 is set aside to be put
into a Gener: Infirmary Fund.
Each student is entitled to $15 bene-
fit from this fund. This sum may
be used for doctor's bills, x-rays or
any other type of medical aid. The
oniy stipulation is that all action
be approved by the Hygiene office
before being taken. This benefit
applies alike to commuters and s
dents living on campus.

Beside this medical aid available
to all students, WAA and MAA
maintain a Contingency Fund
which accrues each year from the
WAA and MAA budgets. An injury
susta‘ned while participating in any
sport sponsored by these two or-
ganizations or in rivalry may be
paid for out of this emergency
fund

These are the two funds which
are available to State College stu-
dents sn event of the need of med-
ical aid. In either case Finance
Board requests that the Hygiene
off.ce be made fully cognizant of
any medical aid needed. In case of
emergency the office should be no-
tified as soon as possible

Soldier Lauds Dean Nelson
In Letter To Administration

“Never in my life have I met
a better man.” Such are the
sentiments of Dean Nelson's
soldier students in England.

Dean Nelson has made a hit
with his new students. His own
experiences as a marine in the
last war have given him a de-
cided advantage. Having been
a service man himself, the Dean
can well understand the prob-
lems of these young army men.

An extract from a letter re-
ceived from one of his students
in England states: “My History
of American Education profes-
sor is a member of your faculty
there at Albany State, Mr. Nel-
son, whom we soldiers here ad-
mire very greatly. Never in my
life have I met a better man.
His methods of teaching are
superb, to say the least.”

‘State knows him only as an
evecutive but these soldiers
know him as a teacher. Dean
Nelson has won the respect of
these men, and State will be
glad to welcome him back.

STATE COLLEGE NEWS, FRIDAY, DE:

ER 14, 1945

By DAY and STILES

Did you ever work under a sub-
stitute Sports Staff?, No? And
they say things are tough all over.

To think, Mary Liz, how we abus-
ed you every Tuesday and Wednes-
day night. We're going to throw
out the lead pipe and baseball bat
tonight. (Tichy. don’t forget where

ut ‘em!)
veve. deem it necessary to digress
at this time from our usual dull
routine to offer a bit of poetic poet-
ry in honor of our dear beloved
Sports Ed., who has taken this op-
portunity to celebrate her very first
anniversary away from us, her duti-
ful and devoted Sports Staff. Gee
whiz, Mary Liz, how could you do

thia?

Poem

The flu, a cold, the grippe?

She missed ‘em. °

She took inflammation of the res-
iratory system.

Ls ya know how tough things am.

A fine time to take it on the lam.

We miss your jokes (?), your bat-
tered old face.

We can't find anything to take
their place.

Unquote.
We're not complaining. We never

do, you know that, Sullivan, But

here we are, slaving away, realizing

we'll be made to suffer a horrible

fate for giving the fourth page a

shot in the arm, There's our dear

Sports Ed, relaxing luxuriously in.

her germ-infested boudoir, wth just

a whiff of “Essence of Vicks” in

the alr.

More Serious Digressing

On to a more serious topic, that
of the lack of infirmary facilities.
There have been epidemics similar
to the present one at State In the
past. Each year this q| estion has
been put aside and a egarded as
the epidemic declined, Each year
students have become victims of
this Illness and no infirmary large
enough to accommodate them all
is available, Dr. Green and Dr.
Dorwaldt are rushed to death, paint-
ing throats and writing out pre-
scriptions, Just last week, nearly
one hundred dollars was spent on
doctor bills, This fact, alone, should
be sufficient to warrant bringing
the issue to a head this year or at
least to make defin:te preparations
for the near future, An example of
this need can be clearly shown by
an instance at one of the group
houses. There are four girls in one
room, At the beginning only one
girl was Ill, Dut to these close liv-
ing quarters, two of her roommates
came down with the flu. This
means that three sick girls still
share the room w.th one other who
has, :o far, escaped infection. If
the one first afflicted had been iso-
lated, most likely her roommates
would not have been infected.

Back to Sports

In a recent copy of “The Foot-
ball News," there was an_ article
which attracted our attention and
stimulated many opinions. The re-
porter noticed some soldiers wait-
ing outside the dressing room:
waiting for “their heroes, the Army
football players.” Thoughtfully, this
reporter went into the Army dress-
ing rooms and asked the manager
to ask the players if they would
stop and say a few words to these
war veterans. He sald he would.
Half an hour before game time, the
Army team came out. None stop-
ped, put trotted right by the vets,
#& few uodded, but nothing more.
T'll quote the rest because I coulda t
possity.y tell it more effectively.

“The war vets were plainly disap-
pointed. We apologized and sald
perhaps the team was under orders
not to stop to talk to anyone before
@ game.

"The three vets said, ‘thanks,
anyway,’ and then went away — in
thelr wheel chairs,

“Each boy was without legs, One
had ‘em ,amputated at the hips,
Another had stumps. The third
had 'em off below the knee,”

They enjoyed the game very
much for Army won, 61-0, and after
all, “Army Is their team.”

KD, Gamma Kap
Gain Victory In
WAA Matches

Worth, Pedisich Lead
With Individual Scores

WAA's Bowling Tournament gain-
ed momentum this week as four
more teams engaged in m.d-week
playoffs. Gamma Kap took the
first two games in a match with
AEPhi, and KD out-pointed Pierce
to gain a victory.

In the first game, Gamma Kap
ended with a margin of 91 pins to
defeat their opponents, 597-506,
Worth was high in this game with
a total of 147, while Alice Fischer
sparked the AEPhi team with a
score of 118. Gamma Kap rolled
up a lead of 177 to gain an over-
whelming victory of 671-494 in the
second game. Pedisich led Gamma
Kap this time with 145, and Stern-
feld led AEPhi with 116.

Lacked Experience

AEPHI had good material in this
match, but lacked the experience
and control of the Gamma Kap
five. This advantage is obvious in
the scores, which show that no one
on the Gamma Kap team bowled
below 103 in either game. Gamma
Kap is holding its own in the race
for the cup this year, but AEPhi
may come out from under as the
team gains experience.

KD-Pierce

KD also topped Pierce in the first
two games of the match, thus elim-
Inating the need of a third set. This
game prov.ded greater excitement
because the teams were more even-
ly matched, but neither group equal-
ed the quality of Gamma Kap's
play,

Alverson headed the winning KD
group with a total of 136 pins, al-
though her score was topped by
Rollema, who rolled up 156 for
Pierce. Ginny Anderson of the dorm
team also made a good showing with
a score of 133. The first game end-
ed 558-522, giving KD a lead of 36.
High Scores

KD honors in the second contest
went to Elgie, with 127, and Shoup,
who bowled 122. Ardito scored
high for Pierce with 138, but the
teams lost this game also.

KD gained the second victory by
a narrow margin of 16 points and
the game ended 544-528.

In both games the highest indivi-
dual score was rolled up by a mem-
ber of the Pierce Hall team, but the
more consistent rolling of the KD
five enabled them to win the match.

Moreland defeated BZ 560-513 in
one game Tuesday, but the other
two contests in the match have not
been played as yet. There is some
question as to whether or not the
match has been forfeited, tut if it
hasn't the other two contests will

Sports Staff, League Teams
Depleted By Mild Epidemic

The gym is quiet and desolate,
It’s Tuesday night and not
even a speck of activity. Wait a
minute—there’s something go-
ing on in the middle of the
floor. It's not the State kids,
but a meeting of the mice who
inhabit the gym. Something is
wrong There's no basketball
practice. Where's Sweeney?
Where's the basketball teams?
Where are the basketballs?

It really isn’t too difficult to
come to a conclusion. It seems
that everyone in school has the
flu, grippe, a bad cold or a bad
case of pre-vacation slump.
Anyhow, it all ties in. Sweeney
and several team members have
the flue—consequently there is
no basketball schedule or story.
This leaves the Sports Staff
minus not only personnel but
minus writeable material, How
can anybody write about what
isn't?

Have a nice vacation everyone,
and here’s hoping the flu won't
get you, too!

Axelrod Slates

Fencing Practice

Celena Axelrod, ‘47, Captain of
Fencing, has announced that the
first fencing practice of the year
will be held tomorrow morning from
ten o'clock unt! noon in the gym.
Since an instructor has not yet
been secured, Miss Axelrod, one of
State’s most capable fencers and
last year's captain, will teach the
group for the first meeting.

Approximately eighteen _ girls
have signed up thus far. The sign-
up sheet is still posted on the WAA
bulletin board, and additional per-
sons may still join the group by
signing up before tomorrow.

WAA credit will be given to those
who complete ten hours of work in
the course and who have shown in-
terest and willingness to work.

In fencing, WAA is offering a
chance to take part in a healthful,
poise-building sport. Chuck has
urged that: more girls come and take
advantage of the opportunity of-
fered.

It is hoped that more interest will
be shown in fencing this year than
has been taken in the past. If all
who sign up come out to practices,
this is insured.

Ping Pong Tournament

The
Sport
Snoop

By PAULA TICHY

“When the boys come home”—the
Sports Snoop has been hearing this
for the past few weeks in connec-
tion with MAA sports and its pro-
gram, and that's the reason for this
week's question: “How can MAA de-
yelop a program that will create
more enthus.asm for men’s sports?”

MAA's activities have long been
a topic of d.scussion but the return
of veterans to the campus seems to
be bringing everything to a head.
The long and varied answers prove
that there is a lot of interest if it
can only be stimulated,

Jim Crandall, '46—‘I'd make an
obugatory mens gym class and this
class is to cons.st of calesthenics, If
they don't want to go to their as-
signea gym class, they’d have to
participate in a certain amount of
extra-curricular sports equal to the
number of hours scheduled for gym.

“Secondly, if th.s is not possible
don't kill what sports activity we
have even tho’ it be in an em-
bryo stage, by canceling previously
scheduled use of athletic fields and
gym. The most avid male sports
fans will not continue thelr inter-
est long if after wa.ting till 4:30 to
use the Milne field they are told
that the field will be used for some
other event. The policy described
above has cost us the services of
Frank Woodworth, who was per-
haps the best potent.al MAA presi-
dent that wartime State has had.
Let's make up our minds as to
whether or not we desire men's ath-
letics and if so in the future to
cease the halfhearted sabotage
which has heretofore been the fate
of MAA.”

Paul Wagner, '48—“Start off with
some sports that aren’t too highly
specialized so that the fellows who
haven't played them too much
won't feel inferi

Jack Tabner, '49—“Better organ-
izat.on and more support, MAA
ought to get some concrete plans—

get going now so when the veterans |

cume buck in January they'll have
an organization to slart a team
wth.”

Rebert Sullivan, '46—"In the first
place you must have more men,
then more money.”

Frank Woodworth, '47 — “There
are roughly 96 guys enrolled in
State College including a dozen
grad students. There are probably
25 feliows interested, or vaguely in-
terested, in athlet.cs. Because of
abnormal conditions this figure is
not low. Also, athletically minded
men do not come to State because
the college has never been able to
offer an athletic program to com-
pare to other colleges and univer-
sities. In the past State was con-
sidered to be primaridy a schoo) for

teacher training, and athletics, al- .

though encouraged to some extent,
were secondary in importance.
Therefore, few yood athletes came
to State

“I believe that athletes will re
turn in strength to State only after
the new gym is built, There is a
long standing controversy over the
use of the present gym. During the
day and evening both Milne and
State have to share the same small
gym, which is too small and inade-
quate for the college alone.”

Clyue Cook, '47-—"The interest has
got to come from the fellows. Inter-
class rivalry, a men's coach, and
gym classes would help get things

Ineson, Jones Winners

In First Round Matches

WAA swings into the lime light
this week with the beginning of the
ping-pong tournament. It has at-
tracted an unusually large number
of participants this year. Forty-
three people have signed up so far,
thus equalizing the enthusiasm
shown for the MAA bouts,

Bertha Wakin, '47, captain of
ping-pong, has announced that all
first matches must be played off by
December 18, or else both players
will be automatically eliminated.
This is very important, because the
matches must be played off quickly
and on schedule if rivalry spir.t and
present enthusiasm is to be kept up.
Two Matches Played

To date two matches have been
played off in the first round. Con-
sidering the number of people who
have signed up this is not a very
good percentage. (There are only
three more playing days until
Christmas vacation!) Jean Ineson
beat Mary Seymour in the first
game of the season,

Ineson showed unusual prowess
for a fresiiman, and is another of
the many unknowns who may be in
the race for the title. Mary Alice
Dines was defeated by Betty Jane
Jones in a very fast moving game.
For a while it looked as if it was
anybody's game, but Jones’ offen-
sive smash proved superior to Dines’
more steady defensive forehand
drive. The final scores were
Defends Title

It is much too early to predict
winners, as the tournament has
hardly taken shape. However, the
interest of the freshmen cannot
help to reveal hidden skill. Ray
Weiss, last year's champ, is a strong
contender for the title. Will she
retain it? Time alone will tell.

A suggestion for a Champ vs.
Chump game has been handed into
the staff. In such an arrangement
the losers would continue to play
the same as the winners. In the
final game the Champ would play
the person who had lost the most
number of games for the title.

Sandy Monro, '49—"Have a large
and varied program so that every-
one can {nd something they're in-
ved in.”

Art Kaufman, ‘47—"The promise
of more men for State next semes-
ter wl help get things started,
Once the “ball is rolling," I feel
that all the fellows will get behind
ile movement 100%."

Hal Webber, ‘47, newly elected
president of MAA, has this to say:
Right afler Xmas, we're going to
start a bowling league, In second
semester we're going to attempt to
get .nlo an inter-city basketball
league with such teams as S.ena,
Pharmacy, Albany Med, and Albany
Business College. There's going to
be another ping-pong tournament
and a hi-lo doubles tournament.
We're getting new ping-pong equip-
ment and MAA is going to subsidize
the bowling games.”
