Will Electioneering
Clean Up Politics?
Today's assembly will witness the beginning
of what is hoped will be a ‘‘new deal’’ in State
college politics, when the candidates for the
three major Student association offices offer
campaign speeches to the student body.
For years students have complained of the
election set-up of the college; accusations have
been hurled thick and fast,—'‘dirty polities’ —
“fixed — elections’, — handshaking"! —_ But
finally, this year, a plata to remedy the situation
has been put into effect,
An ‘‘open”’ system of elections has been insti-
tuted, calling for active campaigns by candidates
for major offices, including speeches, posters, a
campaign manager for each nominee, ete. All
this is under the supervision of the recently
established Election commission, whose job it
will be to regulate all pre-election activities.
It is hoped that the new system will b: ing all
electioneering out into the open, before the entire
student body,—out of the locker-rooms, sorority
and fraternity houses. Each candidate is to
have a fair and equal opportunity to make
known his qualifications and, of still greater im-
portance, the voters of the college will be given
some basis other than ephemeral rumors, popu-
larity, and personalities on which to base their
selections,
Theoretically, this should be an ideal set-up.
The Election commission, if it functions effi-
ciently, should be able to keep the campaigning
down to a reasonable pitch and prevent it from
acquiring any semblance of the “professional”
But, in the long run, the suceess of the new ven
ture depends upon the integrity of the students
themselves, Can we enter the assembly this
morning with an open mind, a unbiased atti-
tude, prepared to. judge the candidates upon
their actual fitness for office? Tine only will
tell,
Teaching and Soiree
Sophomores are, according to actual defini
tion, the “wise fools’ We think that) the
present class of 1930 aptly lives up to. that
definition, When we started out with our pliaus
for an elaborate Soiree, the student body left off
the adjective in calling us maues, Now. that
Soiree seems to be ai assured success we hear
no more of such comments
We believe that the addition of the formal at
the dormitory on Saturday makes this yal
week end one that has been badly needed at
State college, Social ease is one vequisite of a
successful teacher, and the best way to aequire
such ease is a fully rounded social life while at
college, This week end is another good chance
for all to have a good time and also gain some
needed teaching experience—so we'll be seeing
you swinging at Soiree,

With Myskania
Commentstater
‘This week ig outstanding because of two events, one
social, and one historie: the former, Soiree, and the
luttor, the twentieth anniversary of the founding of
Myskanin, secrct honorary society for seniors, In
April of 1917, necording to the back files of the News,
the faculty appointed an honorary society of eleven
seniors to fill the need for an executive student council,
A week later, under the leadership of former Dean
Piorce, the organization had met and chosen the name,
Myskania, the meaning of which was to remain a scerct
except to members of the group, Membership of the
organization was limited to from ten to twelve seniors,
five of whom were to be chosen by the faculty,
Among tho first rules set up during the war period by
the new Myskania were: (1) that no money was to be
spent for decorations at State dances; (2) that no re-
freshments except puneh be served; and (3) that no
i rams be used except for Senior Ball, All
was carrying out the purpose of the group, namely
to regulate student affs
In 1922, the august body nppeured for the first time
in the student assembly in the dignity of eap and gown,
That year saw Myskunia supervision of freshmen rules
and traditions, According to the announcement, fresh-
men were to wear the purple toque during the winter
season—a practical ag well ag pieturesque custom, Haw:
ever, inorder to insure under-elnys representation in
student affairs and rivalry, in 1925 Myskunia ereated
a campus council,
Mystery ran rampant that year when it was dis
covered that someone had stolen the trunk containing
the costumes for Cumpus day, After Myskania had
roplaved them, one Charles (whose other name evidently
was also mislnid) found them in an obscure closet.
1 hundred twenty-seven was an eventful y
celebrated its tenth anni wiry with a bane
quet; 2 sophomore court was instituted to try freshmen
offenders; and a committee was appointed ‘to investi-
gate the affairs and powers of Myskania,
‘The powers and duties of the soviety were more clearly
defined in 1928, when it was empowered to investiga
disagreements between Student council and Student
peintion, and to super Iry, Campus day, and
Moving-up day. Some of these powers were later dele-
gated to Student council, Thus in upholding tradition,
Myskunia has become a tradition in itself.
In 1929 the News commended Myskiunin upon the
admirable way it had carried out the iden that had been
the basis for its founding, and (he impartial way: that
elections and appointments had heen decided, — Biyht
rg later, we ean add our congratulittions to the

‘Coach Hatfield Names
1937 Varsity Nine Lineup
Canute’s Corner
Pitches

Puzzlement?
CFF,
Old King Baseball seems to be rid-
ing in with the summery days as men
of State devote themselves to the
prime varsity interest of the moment.
The process of warming up arms
and getting the old eye on the ball
moves forward as Beverwyck park
does the best it can to accommodate
the followers of Swat—the best it
can, when State is forced into a
corner in order to dodge the flying
spheres of other nines who share the
same training camp.
But then, the inadequacies of State
for outdoor sports is yetting some
attention, Rumor has it that a
tract will be let out in the near
future to widen, and make otherwise
more suitable, the play ground in
back of the dorm, so that baseball
shall be practiced as she should be
in pence and safety.
Optimism is running the rounds of
squad and fans alike as Coach
promises an up and up season. Look-
ing down the line-up we notice that
the Frosh are very much on the in-
side—which pleases us, Being ardent
baseball fans ourselves, we'd like
to see our Alma Mater have a name
to be reckoned with in the domain of
bats.
Coach’s pride seems to be the in-
field, Slipping a little with our heck-
ling, he admitted that he'd “rather
have this gang working together than
anything I’'ye seen at Union.” This
was modified with ‘Can they bat?”
The “they” consists as you will find
in another story, of freshmen:
Shearer, Danielwictz, Balog, and
Fairbanks.

Have you ever wondered why men

‘The explanation seems pretty logical.
Coach quibbled with several pool-
heads in an endeavor to help out you
aquaticians. ‘The result we didn’t
get anywhere, Either the pool was
too far away, or too small, or the
schedule of periods in which we could
use it was too limited to make it of
any practical use,
Do you, perhaps, remember the
time, way back when the Commons
possessed a couple of ping-pong,
tables? Rather a trivial matter, pe
haps, but we know quite a few per-
sons remembered them well enough
to wonder why they've disappeared,
and how they could be brought back.
As a hint, for we won't pledge to the
idea, the officials of M.ALA, might be
able to do something about this.

TWO LEADERS OF CLASS OF 1939
State, Hobart Meet
In Unusual Debate.
Forensic Squad to Encounter
Cornell, Keuka On Trip
An unusual round table debate on
the subject of regulating minimum
wages and maximum hours was con-
ducted in the Lounge of Richardson
hall on Wednesday, The meeting
was in charge of Mr. Jones, instruc-
tor of English, who acted as chair-
man,
The debate was scheduled as a
formal, no decision, debate, but as
the debaters chatted over the dinner
table the idea of a round table de-
bate was presented to the teams and
is Hobart had never debated this
style before they decided that they 4
would like to experiment with it.
A feature of Hobart’s debate squad
was their mascot, Paix, who is a
German collie dog who has been
trained by the Seeing Eye to guide
the blind. His master was Fred-
erick Newman who, although blind,
showed that he possessed an analytical
mind for the problems of the subject,
and the ability to catalog a huge
number of facts in his mind without
the aid of any written notes.
The Hobart team, which was to de-
bate Skidmore Inst night, consisted
of George Hull, captain, Samuel
Warr, seniors, Sidney Brown, ’38, and
Fred Newman, °39.
The State team was composed of
Gordon Tabner and Edgar O’Hora,
sophomores,
A State debate squad will make
@ trip to Cornell and Keuka college
over the weckend. This squad will
consist of Jean Lichenstein, Florence
Zubres, Lizetto Parshall, juniors,
Leonard Friedlander, and Lawrence
Btrattner, sophomores. ‘This squad
will debate the problems of minimum
wages and maximum hours, and also
the problem that the O.1.0, should
be extended to all industries,
Feasting and Frolic
Marks Senior Banquet
Yoicks! Yoicks! and the
seniors feasted at their ‘April
showers’? banquet Wednesday in
the Cafeteria. The affair turned
out to be a regular reunion of
the class with dancing in the
Commons ghd group singing in
the Activities office following the
festivities, Messrs, Edwards and
DeSerio led the choristers in their
impromptu roundelay.
Speakers of the evening were
Drs, French and Tommie, who
delivered ‘(The Saga of Little
Orphan Willie,’? a story based
on their early adventures,
A typical ’37 skit, directed by
Evvie Hamann, finished off the
entertainment, It seemed to
have been planned as a take-off
on the stunt of the sophomores
a few weeks back, and succeeded
handsomely.
Stars of the piece were the trio
composed of Edwards, Erwin, and
DeSerio, with their classical
renditions, Even the News had
a placo in the skit, perched
above the rounded head of George
Mackie.
Seniors To Order Gowns
Seniors who wish to rent cap and
gowns for Moving Up Day until com-
meneement may obtain them from
Virginia Loucks, Margaret Roets, or
Frederick Byrnes, seniors,
It they wish to purchase the caps
and gowns they may be obtained
from the Co-op at a special price,
To Assess Five Dollar Tax
For the benefit of the entering
members of the student association
for the second semester, the Student
Board of Finance decided at their
regular meeting ‘Tuesday that the
new students will be entitled to all
the privileges of the student tax upon
the payment of five dollars,

Classical Club To Have
Annual Buffet Supper
Classical club will conduet a buffet
supper in the Lounge of Richardson
hall, Thursday at 6:00 o'clock, nc-
cording to an announcement by
Dorothy Ostrander, ’37,
Faculty guests of the club will in-
clude: Miss Virginia Smith, super-
visor in French; Miss Edith Wallace,
assistant professor of Latin; Miss
Marion Chesebrough, instructor in
Latin; and Miss L. Antoinette John-
son, assistant professor and supervisor
of Latin,
A poster has been placed on the
main bulletin board, and all who de-
siro to come are asked to sign up as
soon as possible, ‘The affair is an
annual one, the social highlight of
the club season.
State To Debate Wells
The next home debate of State’s
forensic squad will be Wednesday
with Wells college, The subject is,
‘‘Resolved:—that Congress should be
empowered to Regulate minimum
wages and maximum hours.’?
Nominees Post Signs
As Part of Campaign
Another phase of the new plan for
opening up elections at State college
took the form of the posters which
have been placed during the week
throughout the college buildings.
“(This is just another step to let
the members of the student associn-
tion know about the qualifications of
the various candidate: Tt is in no
way to be a competition in ie
ability,’? maintains Charles Gaylord,
chairman of the newly appointed
Election commiission.
At the meeting Monday noon in
which the candidates and their mana-
gers received their instructions from
the commission, separate places were
assigned for the posters of the three
major officers for next year. ‘Those
of the president are on the main bul-
letin board of Draper hall, The
campaign posters for the vice-presi-
dency are located near the mail box,
and those for the office of sceretary
of the student body are on the bul-
letin board in Husted hall.
