As to 1941 Campus Queen

Delaney Speech Delves
In Cats, Injuns and Doors
Miss Sara T. DeLaney, Dean of

Women, spoke in assembly last
Friday, using as her theme,

Yes sir, it's every man for him-
self—at least when it comes to pick-
ing the 1941 Campus Queen, Your
guess is as good as the next person's!
There are five smooth co-eds to}
choose from—State really is co-
educational even though we doubt
it sometimes—and only Myskania
knows the winner.

East and west, north and south—
the five hail from every quarter of
the state, from Long Island to the
home of R. P. I, (Troy in case you
didn't know), Three brownettes and
two blondes comprise the quintet.
What head will receive the crown
from the dark head of Bea Dower
‘41, last year’s queen?

The girls have a lot to offer, all
five of them. There’s last year’s
Junior Prom Queen, in the running
for another title, WAA's blonde
president, Music Council's petite
head, the guiding hand of SCA and
last but not least, the President of
Residence Council. Marion Duffy,
Kay Peterson, Jeannette Ryerson,
Kathryn Wilson and Mildred
Swain. All of the girls had ardent
support from their fans. Which one
has the largest following will be
determined when the students see
who will head the royal procession
down the Page aisles.

Tomorrow night at 8 P. M. wit-
nesses the nineteenth coronation of
a Campus Queen at State. Campus
Day originated in 1921, but 1922 was
the year that saw the first queen
reigning. That year it was provided
that the students should select the
most popular girl in the senior class.
And since that day, the election of
Campus Queen has been an annual
topic of speculation and interest.

Following the usual trends, three
of the contenders for the crown are
Myskania members. Participation in
extra-curricular activities and pop-
ularity seem to be synonomous in
the minds of State College students.
Maybe it’s because the girl selected
typifies State at its best.

Suspense is riding high. Cul-
mination will come tomorrow
night when the strains of “Pomp

and Circumstance" will reveal to a

|waiting State its chosen Queen

Grattan and Band Reach Top
Despite Rambunctious Neighbors

By Bernard Skolsky

“Now listen, fellows, can’t you stop
making all that racket? People are
trying to sleep.” So spoke the police,
not once, but twice, when neighbors
complained about the noise coming
from “that Grattan boy's cellar.”

It is that same “Grattan boy” with
part of that same orchestra who
will entertain State College at the
All-State Dance next Friday night,
October 31, In three years, BM
Grattan's orchestra has risen from
a group of boys playing for their
amusement to one of State College's
favorite entertainers.

Grattan Js now enrolled at State
College as a member of the class of
‘45, He doesn't have time to enjoy
any of the receptions offered to the
freshmen, since he has to play at
most of them. Last year, while still
in high school, Grattan furnished
the music for the Soph Soiree.

This year has shown a great
change in the physical appearance
of the band. Last year at the “Swing
Concert," Grattan used 14 men, This

T yaa only ten men will be used.
Grattan feels that by using ten men
he can achieve the same effect of 14
and the idea is more practical com-
mercially.

Tn his new orchestra, the sx s
tion will be featured. The sax s
tion will be on the style of Jimmy
Lunceford. Grattan himself plays
first tenor sax, He plans to concen-
trate on swing and slow standard
numbers rather than on the popular
ballads. “Popular songs change so
fast and are generally so poorly
written and uninspirational that it
isn't worth the time to give them
good arrangements,” Grattan said.

Grattan Is also scheduled to play
at the Sophomore reception tonight
Playing with Grattan tonight on
the drums will be Jim Laurie, a
student at Albany High School, who
played with Red Nichols and Claude
Thornhill.

Grattan is planning a few prize
specialties for the All-State Dance.
The dance will be held at the two
Alumni Residence Halls, with an
orchestra at each dormitory.

“Black Cats, Dead Injuns, and
the Open-Door Policy.”

“We must overcome silly sup-
erstitions,” she said. “When we
were young, we used to believe
that a black cat was bad luck
and that the best injun was a
dead injun. Now we are older
and have given up these beliefs.
Life forces you to make your
own decisions. Whatever you do
shows your beliefs. Some of us
still have standards and ideals
but many of us are afraid to
acknowledge them.”

Sherwood Eddy, prominent author-
ities on international affairs, will
speak to a Page Hall audience
Wednesday at 8 PM. on “The
Present War and Our Responsibil-

en, there will be an open discussion
of the question in which anyone in

Educating For Democracy

Are the educators of America guilty of
betraying their trust of teaching and revital-
izing the democratic way? Have the educa-
systems successfully prepared the

The last few years have seen a moral and] 99 to

Marching Along

Gordy Rand is another draftee
who is not exactly happy about the
whole thing, and you can hardly
blame him. After graduating from
State in 1939, Gordy was just get-
ting under way in the English De-
partment in the Johnstown public
schools when his number came up.
He was inducted into the army when
school closed last June,

While teaching, Rand had achiev-
ed some success with choral reading
and since entering the army he has
turned out a choral reading script
entitled American Nobodys. This is
not his first Hterary work since he
had contributed to several periodi-
cals including the American Mag-
azine. Through his participation in
several company entertainments,
Gordy has been excused from K.P,
(kitchen police to civilians) and oth-
er tasks of like nature. Those of us
who feel that we may be drafted
might do well to remember this little
note,

Gordy has had chances several

Wendell Cady

one occasion in a fight over Langley
Field in a B-18 bomber, reached
such a high altitude that oxygen
tanks had to be used. He has adapt-
ed himself to his present work in the
army, but would prefer flying. Rand
has passed his first examinations for
the Air Corps Cadets. The examin-
ations were extremely rigid and he
was forced to undergo a tonsillect-
omy to qualify,

From his experiences in an army
hospital, Gordy found that they cer-
tainly don’t pamper men in the ar-
my. The hospital itself was a “mil-
lion dollar” affair, but the service
was terrible. They provided only
absolutely necessary care. A man
who is hospitalized receives no spe-
cial food and is left to himself a
great deal of the time.

Gordy hopes to be able to return
to Albany before he receives his per-
manent assignment. Until he is

Men of considerable note have
come from Hamilton College—Alex-
ander Woolcott, Ezra Pound, Elihu
Root, Carl Carmer, and our own
“Doctor Tommy"—Mr, Jones comes
from Hamilton, too,

But seriously, it isn't easy to catch
the personality of someone like Mr.
Jones on paper. He is so much more
a friend than a teacher, so much
more fun than scholarly. Not that
Mr, Jones is filled to the brim with
the milk of human kindness—there's
good deal of arsenic with the old
lace, and beneath the velvet glove
a decidedly iron hand. But, in trou-
ble Mr, Jones is close at hand—
and that's a nice feeling in these
days of insecurity.

Folk-lore Farm

However, enough of this character
portrait. Mr. Jones speaks much
better for himself. Take his com-
ments about his farm, for instance:
“You know, there are some very
curlous folk-lore relationships with
the animals on my farm. The cat
js usually a famillar of witches, the
dog is the form that ghosts often
take, the hare is a form Irish ghosts
Well, folk-lore
about goats 1s complicated and —
To date, there
have been no voodoo rites on my
farm,”

There may be some students who
have not heard of Mr, Jones’ book-——
though that's impossible, of course.
The book, of a respectable 300-page
length, is concerned with “The
Clubs of the 18th Century Rakes,”
Question and Answer

And how did he come to write
it? Well, ten years ago he asked
& professor a question, and the pro-
fessor said, “Why don't you look it
up yourself?" So he did, and after
ten years, he’s found the answer.

The U. S. Tries to Use
Talk to Win a War

A. T.

Has the time come for the United States to enter
the European War in opposition to Nazi Germany?

The people of this country are daily becoming more
and more cognizant of the fact that this question is
one that must be answered almost immediately, No
further delay or diplomatic parrying can be allowed,
The United States has committed herself more than
halfway in her foreign policy, and the world is waiting
to see what step she will take next.

The United States has shown herself in the past
very reluctant to enter any European wars. We did
not enter the World War of 1914. Rather, we stumbled
and slid into it, We went into it after we could do
nothing else — after a series of incidents rising out of
a relatively unstable foreign policy had left us no
alternative but to declare war.

Today we find ourselves doing almost exactly the
same thing. We have no wish to enter this war. No
matter how much we want to see the Nazis defeated,
we do not want to spend any American lives in doing
so. Now we are forced to think German defeat
without active American participation impossible.

Since 1939 the armies of Adolf Hitler have been on
the march in Europe. Today they are engaged in
crushing the last army that is at all able to face them
in the entire world. If Nazi Germany can defeat
Russ! . she will be undisputed mistress of the entire
continent of Europe.

The United States Talks To Victory

‘The United States is busily engaged in trying to pre-
vent a German victory — but how? By sending count-
less ministers and an occasional tanker of gasoline
to Russia—by sending antedated or surplus equipment
and strong moral support to England?

Wars cannot be won with words. This realization
is a very unpleasant one to the American people, but
the successes of the Nazi troops have forced us to it.

For a long time, we have been wondering, “What if
Germany wins? Will we be next?” We have admitted
that we are not interested in saving any of the Europ-
ean nations, or even Great Britain, but that primarily
we are concerned with our own fate — with the even-
tual effects that a German victory will have on our
government and on our economy,

We decided long ago that the safety of the United
States would be endangered by a German victory. It
4s to be regretted that we did not instantly follow
this decision with adequate and efficacious action. We
chose instead to let Great Britain fight the battle for
us. In order to let her know that we were behind her
in spirit at least, we sent some sort of aid in military
supplies — aid that certainly has been useful, but by
no means has been enough.

American Non-Fighting Aid Ineffective

‘Today we seem about to reap the fruits of our refusal
to take an active part. Russia is at present in a po-
sition where no American ald can help her in time.
Within a week the battle for Moscow may be nothing
but a lost cause, It is not inconceivable that Russian
resistance may crumple, and if it does, with {t will
go our dream of non-active aid,

It is not difficult to see why America is reluctant
to enter a “shooting war.” We are far removed from
the scene of the conflict, The threat to us is not one
of an army on our borders ready to march, In that,
we differ from the participants in the war, ‘The threat
to our country is a far more subtle one — one of
economic pressure, of propaganda infiltration, of dom-
ination of the countries around us, Tt is difficult to
become alarmed about these things. It is difficult to
go to war because we fear that some day Germany
might put enough pressure on our economic system
to destroy it. ‘The danger of non-intervention les in
that the menace is so far away that lo fight it with
manpower seems almost unthinkubl

The Inevitable conclusion remains: The United
States must make up its mind to what it wants to do,
and then It should bend every effort toward that end.
If we decide that this war is not our quarrel, then we
have no call to send our money and our supplies to
any of the nations in it. If on the other hand we
think that it is to our advantage that Germany lose
this conflict, then we must bend every effort to insure
this loss, instead of contenting ourselves with send-
ing supplies halfway across the world.

Half-measures, no matter In what direction they
are taken, can be of no avail. The necessity exists for
the American people to say which course they prefer

Sayles Hall Plans

Two Receptions

Dormitory Men Establish
Government by Committees

Sayles Hall Open House—the dor-
mitory's entrance into State's social
activities—will take place on Sat-
urday.

In the afternoon from 1:30 until
4:30, the students of the college are
invited to inspect the building.
During this period also there will
be dancing to the music of Bill
Grattan’s Orchestra, and refresh-
ments will be served.

From 8 P. M, until 10 P, M. mem-
bers of the Board of Regents, the
Board of Trustees, the State Educa-
tional Department, and the College
Faculty and Staff will be given an
opportunity to inspect the building.

Chairman of this event is David
Cooke, graduate student. Assisting
him are Arthur Cornwall and James
McFeeley, sophomores.

Janitorial Department
Demolishes Questionnaire

The efficiency of the janitor-
jal department has just come
to the attention of the Strate
Cottece News. Last Friday in
Assembly a Public Opinion Poll
on Foreign Affairs was distrib-
uted. At the end the following
words could be seen: “Please
drop this in one of the baskets
outside the doors.” These in-
structions were explicitly follow-
ed by the students and the ques-
tionnaires were stored in the
Publications Office until they
could be tabulated, On Satur-
day the staff assembled to tabu-
late. Ne questionnaires! Fin-
ally they were located, baled by
the janitor

So, because of unforseen cir-
cumstances, namely the effi-
ciency of the janitorial staff, the
results will not be “published
and analyzed in the Srate Co.-
eae News.”

Another such poll is being
planned for the near future.

much surprised—when he said he

her to come out and look the place
over, “So O.K. Why not?” was the
reply,

She was taken completely un-

York said, “Do you wanna go up
now or later?” and, lest he change
his mind, she answered quickly,
“Right now.”

First of all, the pilot, Mr, Lyn Ball,

before she was shown how to fly and
when she got up into the air, the
plane—well—just didn’t react,

After the take-off, when the plane
was going along smoothly, Mr. Ball
shouted back, “She's all yours, Miss,”
and took his hands off the controls.
Terrified, she stammered, “I — don't
think I can do it.” But the roar of
the motor was so loud that all con-
versation was drowned out,

Things went along well, however.
It really wasn’t very hard to learn
to fly. In fact, she soon felt confi-
dent enough to take a minute off
now and then to look at what was
going on in the world below. The
trees looked as if they were on fire
and State College, 1200 feet down,
looked awfully small and so unreal,

The thirty minutes spent up in the
air were all too few and before long
she was back in the hanger talking
to Mr, York, The building tipped now
and then—like the plane—but even
that stopped in time,

“This is the opportunity of a life-
time for young boys,” Mr. York said.
“The only expenses are for a physi-
cal examination, insurance, and a

,GINNY,

Tomorrow morning Leda La Salle
is taking a group of hockey stick
wielders.to Bennington College for
@ conference with six other institu-
tions—which promises to give the
State. girls quite a time. Besides
State and Bennington gals, there
will be elevens from Vassar, Skid-
more, Russell Sage, University of
Vermont, and Mt. Holyoke.

For the last few weeks the State
girls have been practicing, or I
should say, playing with the Mo-
hawks, a team of women coaches
who are superb players. This inval-
uable experience ought to stand
them in good stead tomorrow in the
numerous games scheduled for the
day.

The lucky femmes planning to
leave Albany tomorrow at ten for a
day with their Vermont neighbors
are: Kit Herdman, center forward;
Marion Duffy, right inner; Dot
Townsend, right wing; Mary San-
derson, left wing; Leda La Salle,
center half; Jane Williams, left
half; Jane Greenmun, right half;
Win Jones, right fullback; Sally
Beard and Marian Soule, left full-
backs; and Ken Carey.

First Camp Weekend

The wilds of Chatham will re-
sound with the cries of the gals of
State over the weekend. In other
words, a group of hearties will take
over Camp Johnston for the first
time this season, where they will
catch up on lots of sleep in those
classy triple deck bunks. Good food
cooked in an open fireplace, long
evenings spent singing around the
same fireplace, long and short hikes
for Lotta Bunker's credit, and just
plain loafing will all be included in
the program, In short, girls are
going to have an all-around, healthy,
good time from the time they jump
off the train in Chatham this after-
noon, until they sling their blanket-
rolls aboard for the return trip Sun-
day.

Fencing Successful

Fencing started last Saturday with
an enthusiastic bunch of fifty girls
turning out to learn the art of self-
defense, Clinton Mochon, an RPI
freshman, gave the girls a little
workout, (they're wondering what a
real workout would be like since they
were stiff for four days afterward).
However, just as big a crowd is ex-
pected tomorrow.

Mr. Mochon hopes that he may be
able to get fellows from other col-

Captains Select
All-State Team

Undefeated Potter Wins

Intramural Football Crown

With the close of the intramural
foctball schedule each year comes
the selection of an All-State team
by the league captains. The squad
packed with
power and would give a good ac-
count of itself against any of the
mythical teams of past years.

Here is the lineup; First team:
center, Rich Young; ends, Gene
Guarino, Ed Casler; backs, Bill

snare Brauner's passes. Their block-

Coach Finds Only Five
Veterans in Line-Up

While the frenzied fans of Sat-

mid-season of their favorite sport,
State College is being touched by the
first tentacles of basketball fever.

Monday night State's potential
gladiators of the court rumbled into
Page Hall for their first workout.
Under the close scrutiny of Coach G.
Elliott Hatfield, the ample squad of
aspirants strutted their stuff.

plus a huge squad of likely players,
Coach Hatfield has high hopes for

A puzzling international situation
seems trivial compared with that
confronting the lads who make up
the chess team.

It seems that the boys got to-
gether the other night and after
more or less of a social evening,
they decided to top off the night
with a bowling tilt.

_Well, the game progressed in fine
fashion, but when the final tallies
were added, scores in the 190’s and
upper part of the 200’s were chalked
up. Now the boys don’t know
whether to continue as a chess out-
fit or go into professional bowling.
The irony of it is, the scores indi-
cate that the current squad is bet-
ter at pin-toppling than at pawn-
pushing!

Cauliflower Comments

Two of State’s prominent bas-
ketball players came into violent
contact with each other on the
dance floor during Campus night
resulting in a slight discoloration
for one which closely resembles the
color of the proverbial “eight ball.”
Here's the story according to Harry
Bora, the proud possessor of afore-
mentioned disgoloration:

“We got a bunch of guys together
to give this gal a ‘rush’ So we're
all cutting in on each other, when
suddenly this guy (Owen Bombard)
taps me, not too gently, and I feels
a funny ‘click’ in one eye — just
like a camera, gee—’, Harry must
have meant the camera obscura.

Speaking of basketball men we
just heard the disconcerting news
that Bill Dickson has been request-
ed to appear for his physical exam-
ination at Schenectady. There's no
doubt as to his passin; it, but we're
hoping he c2n still remain a couple
of fast dribbles ahead of the induc-
tion board.

The Jackpot

After the unfortunate opening
match which the chess men played
at RPI last Sunday, Clarence Oarr

ided to phone in the story to the
papers, via Troy.

Something went wrong and the
good mechanical apparatus dropped
seventy cents into Oarr's mitts!

Now we ask you, just exactly what
kind of a machine drops coins into
the waiting slot???

A Dissertation on the Proceedings
of the Constitutional Convention
of Sayles Hall,

Roy Sommers

On the evening of October 7, 1941,
history was made. ‘The momentous
occasion was none other than the
first constitutional convention of
Sayles Hall. The founding fathers
having swung valiantly into action
the week before had submitted to
the assembled Saylesmen the frame-
work of a dandy new constitution,
conceived in perspiration and dedi-
cated to the proposition that while
you can please some of the people
some of the time you can't please
all of the people any of the time.

Roberts’ Rules of Order produced
its usual chaos as the harassed
chairman attempted repeatedly to
lift the shroud of mystery surround-

Moral, Spiritual
by Shirley Wurz

Modern educators are guilty of
falling “to develop moral and spiri-
tual forces” for Lhe people of the
United States. This was the charge
made by Dr. Homer Rainey, Presi-
dent of the University of Tex
77th Convocation of the
versity of the State of New York,
held last Friday in Chancellors Hall
He also stated that educators in
teaching students theories and not
the application of those theories
were guilty both of “moral pu
footing” and betrayal of the
purposes of education,

Vocational education found a
champion in Dr, Edmund Day, Presi-
dent of Cornell University, who said.
“education must learn to glorify
und dignify labor.” ‘The nee
for closer cooperation between the
colleges and communities was also

Advanced Dramatics will open its
1941-42 season with a tragedy and
a comedy in the Page Hall auditor-
lum on Tuesday at 8:30 P. M, ‘The
student directors are Ethel May
Tozier and Lenora Davis, juniors.
Miss Agnes E, Futterer, Assistant
Professor of English, is supervising
the productions.

Miss Tozier's play is a somber,
deeply tragic story of the struggle
of a group of Irish people against
their environment. Gertrude Gold,
‘44, will portray the characte’ of
the old Irish peasant woman who
has already lost a husband and six
sons in the sea. She and her two
daughters endeavor to suve the
youngest son from the same fate.

Increase in Teaching Jobs

The annual report of the Student
Employment Bureau for the fiscal
year October 1, 1940 to September
30, 1941 disclosed the fact that 122
members of the class of 1941 were
placed. This figure represents 55%
of the seniors registered compared

with 33% placed in 1940.

The Employment Bureau succeed-

ed in securing 392 teaching place:

ments altogether during the past
year. The number of experienced
teachers placed in large schools was
139, Two hundred and one placed

were without previous teaching ex:

perience, One hundred and fifty-two
of these students were graduated
from State or received their master’s
degree from State last June. The
remaining 49 were former graduates
of State who had not been placed

since their graduation.
Twenty-Seven Substitutes

In addition to the above teacher
placements, 25 people were placed

in other than teaching positions,

Twenty-seven were placed in sub-
which

stitute teaching positions

range from a few days to a semest-

gree in Commerce, none are unem-
ployed; 3 are in the army; 2 have
not reported; 12 have other than
teaching positions, 1 is engaged in
further study; and 32 are teaching.
This accounts for 253 students who
completed the teaching course in
June, 1941,
Report Gives Salaries ‘

The average salary for inexperi-
enced teachers is $1,191.17, Average
salary for experienced teachers is
$1,476.34. The salaries for inexper-
jenced teachers range from $912 to
$1,800. Salaries for experienced
teachers range from $1,000 to $1,900.

Students placed through commer-
cial agencies are assessed 5% of their
first year’s salary. Therefore the
Student Employment Bureau saved
the inexperienced teachers $1,187.06,
and the experienced _ teachers
$1,026.98 during the past year,

There is an increase in the num-
ber of placements this year because
of the national defense program
Many one-year positions have been
created to fill vacancies caused by
the exodus of teachers to the army.
Jobs in the defense industries are
also attracting some graduates,

All-State Bids
On Sale Monday

“Bids for the October 31 All-State
| Dance, first big college social event
of the year, will go on sale Monday,”
Paul Merritt, '42, chairman, stated.
“It is advisable for all students who
{wish to go to get their bids early,
since a large attendance is ex-
pected,” Merritt said.

A growing enthusiasm for the
dance has been noted among the
students. Any disappointment over
the elimination of Scnior Hop seems
to have given way to genuine inter-
est in the new venture. The two-
band, two-dorm, low-bid and semi-
formal features have attracted stu-
dent interest.

All bids will sell for $1.10. There
will be a table in the lower hall of
Draper where bids may be pur-
chased.

Chairmen of the committees come

It’s election time again — with the
freshmen taking the stage now to
decide who shall lead them against
the sophomores. But with eight boys
and four girls running for class
president, freshmen are going to find
a choice difficult.

The battle of politics is already in
full swing among the frosh, Bill
Grattan, youthful orchestra leader,
started the ball rolling Monday
when he put up a couple of con-
spicuous posters. Notes, supporting
Harold Archambault for president,
have appeared in the mail-boxes, So
far, no open campaigning has been
done for the other male candidates,
Glen DeLong, Stanley Gipp, Ray
Howard, Ernest Mennillo, Francis
Mullin, and Donald Sayles.

The freshmen women are uniting
under the threat of male domination
in the class. At a Newman Hall
meeting, Monday night, the twenty
freshmen living there decided to
give their full support to Flo Gar-
fall, presidential nominee. In de-
claring their intention of backing
Joan Smith, Western Hall dweller,
for vice-president, the Newmanites
angled for dorm votes for Garfall.
Girls from the dorm and cottages
consulted in the Pine Room Tues-
day night, and the majority favored
the Garfall-Smith combination.

Exercising the women's privilege
of changing their minds, the dorm
girls held another meeting Wednes-
day night and reversed their pre-
vious decision. Pierce Hall and three
cottages agreed to back Peggy Dee
instead of their original choice, Gar-
fall. Western Hall, however, is
still backing the Newman freshmen
in their support of Garfall. Other
group houses have taken no definite
stand. Nora Crumm and Mary
Sanderson, candidates for the pres-
idency from the dorm, withdrew
from the race in favor of Dee. There
are two other women candidates
Elaine Drooz and Violet Turk.

Freshmen Choose

Garfall President
On First Revote

Women Repeat Capture
Of Majority of Offices

Following the precedent set by
the Class of '44, the freshmen class
chose Florence Garfall as its presi-
dent, and women captured the ma-
jority of offices. Curtis Pfaff was
elected Vice-President, Betty Ito-
well, Secretary, and Gordon Bas-
kin, Treasurer. The regular elec-
tion was held Monday in the Com-
mons, supervised by Myskania, sen-
ior campus leadership society. Re-
votes were held Tuesday and
‘Thursday.

The freshmen women, fearing
the threat of male domination in
their class, united. On the first elec-
tion with the men’s vote split many
ways, the presidency narrowed
down to a choice between Peggy
Dee, backed by Pierce Hall, and
Garfall, supported among others
by Newman Hall. The result was a
question of which way the men’s
dorm would vote and the revote
shows that Garfall was their choice.

* Elected.

The campaign was vigorous and
hardfought. Signs boosting all can-
didates were placed in conspicious
spots in the halls and great inter-
est was shown in the election. Two
hundred and six freshmen, all who
were eligible, cast their bullots in
the first three hours of the el
tion. ‘This is an unusually high
figure for a class election.

Revote figures show that Garfall
was elected by the margin of 24
votes, showing definitely the choices
of the class,

With nine of the offices open to
the men, only four have been elect-
ed. For the four major offices, two
men were chosen

Forum Plans Discussion

OF Political Parties

The Republican, Democratic, So-
cialist, and American Labor parties
will undergo a thorough dissection
in a panel discussion of the Forum
on Election Day, November 4, at
3:30 P. M. in Room 206. Four stu-
dents, who are to participate in the
discussion, will demonstrate the dif-
ferences in the programs of the four
parties and explain what they offer
to the American people

At the Forum's meeting, Tuesday,
Unree amendments to the state con-
stitution, which will be voted upon
in the coming election, were debat-
ed and voted upon by the members
present. The first amendment, con-
cerning the appropriation of funds
for the construction of state high-
ways, was voted down. An over-
whelming 45-5 vote against an

amendment proposing to extend the
term of State Senators from two to
four years defeated this amend-
ment.

Frosh President—

FLORENCE GARFALL, ‘45, who will
be the second woman freshman president
at State College in the past twelve years.

Advanced Dramatics

To Give Plays Tuesday

Student Producers Will Direct
Comedy, Historical Farce

Advanced Dramatics students,
Kathleen Martin, and Barbara Ker:
lin, juniors, will present two come-
dies in the Page Hall auditorium
Tuesday at 8:30 P. M.

Miss Martin’s play promises to be
a sophisticated portrayal of the sub-
terfuges at the court of an ancient
Pharoah (James McFeeley, ‘44). Tir-
ing of his queen (Jane Curtis, ‘43),
the Pharoah plots to do away with
her and substitute in her place the
enticing young woman who has cur-
rently captured his fancy (June
Melville, '43). However, he misjudges
the cleverness of his wife who
adroitly turns the tables on her rival.

The play directed by Miss Kerlin
is an entertaining family comedy
vith its setting in the lower middle-
class home of Henry Slater, a meek
and henpecked husband (Art Col-
lins, '45), and his grasping, dominat-
ing wife (Vera Willard, '44). Their
ten-year-old daughter, Victoria,
(Betty Clough, ‘45), causes her
chirpy Uncle Ben (Bob Loucks, '44)
and her overly-refined Aunt Eliza-
beth (Gertrude Myers, ‘44) both
amusement and annoyance before
the sprightly grandfather, (Bob
White, '44) uncovers a family plot
and carries off the honors in the
fray.

All-State Hop

In Sale of Bids

With fifty-nine bids sold Monday,
the first day of sales, the All-State
dance appears to be heading toward
success. All-State is an experiment
which, if successful, will bring an
annual repetition. In the last few
years, Senior Hop has been a finan-
cial failure. But, this year, State's
big fall formal has new and diffe:
ent features to make it attractive.

In the first place, it's not a for-
mal; it’s a semi-formal. Secondly,
the price of the bids is at a low
ebb—one dollar per couple plus ten
cents tax. The principal innova-
tion of the dance is the double-or-
chestra, double-dance-hall feature.
The gymnasium of Sayles Hall, the
newly completed men's dorm, will
be the center of activity where Bob
Reid and his orchestra are sched-
uled to reign. A temporary board-
walk from Sayles Hall will lead to
Pierce Hall and the well-known
Ingle Room, Here Bill Grattan is
to direct an evening of rhythm.
Arrangements are being made for
the convenience of the dance-goers
by selling “cokes” in both halls

At least two hundred couples are
expected to attend the All-State
dance, tonight, according to Paul
Merritt, '42. The administration has
shown more than usual enthusiasm
in the novel affair.

Chaperones will be: Dr, Howard
DoBell, Mr. Paul Bulger, Mr, G.
Eliot Hatfield and Mr. Louis C.
Jones.

Sorority House Dances

To complete the All
weekend, the seven sororities
will hold their annual fall house
dances from 9 to 1 tomorrow
night. The dances will be semi-
formal, and couples will prom-
enade from one sorority house
to another. Music for several
of the dances will be furnished
by orchestras while other so-
rorities will use “vies.”

Albany FBI Agent
Lectures In Assembly

Arthur Cornelius Jr., new special
agent in charge of the Albany of-
fice of the FBI, spoke in this morn-
ing’s assembly of the important
role the Federal agents play in na-
tional defense.

According to Mr. Cornelius, never
before has this government been so
prepared to meet the crisis facing
the nation in regard to fifth colum-
nist affairs. Through its prepared-
ness and constant outlook for sabo-
tage, the FBI has been able to
check any such activities. This
morning's speaker is in charge of
the training of police executives in
civilian defense which will begin in
Albany Monday.

Ralph ‘Tibbets, President of Stu-
dent Association, informed the ri-
valry classes that the girls’ banney
hunt will begin the second week
in November

ous economist, author and lecturer,

Plan to Cut Budget,
Add to Student Tax

Under Consideration

Investigation of Annex and Cafe-
teria prices will be made by a com-
mittee headed by William R. Dor-
rance, ’42, Editor-in-Chief of the
News and including Kathryn Wil+
son and Bernard Perlman, seniors,
The purpose of the survey follows
the program of the student-faculty
discussion group designed to foster 9
well-informed student opinion.

In making the survey, the com:
mittee will contact local dairies,
bread and butter companies, and
cigarette distributors in an effort
to find out wholesale prices of prod-
ucts. In view of Kappa Beta’s pay~
ment of ten cents per quart and
Potter Club's payment of twelve
cents per quart for milk, the An-
nex price of sev-
en cents per half
pint is subject to
question, Of fur-
ther interest is
the fact that the
ten cents a quart
milk contains
only two tenths
percent less but-
ter fat than Bor-
den's milk,

“The survey
Dorrance Will be made
to satisfy the student body,”
Dorrance said. “It is very probable
that the prices charged are justified,
If that is the case, the students will
be informed of it." The committee
will have a conference with Miss
Laura Thompson, Manager of the
College Cafeteria, on the increase in
the cost of food products, and the
reason for the increase will be ex-
plained to the student body. All re-
sults of committee findings will be
reported on and discussed at the sec-
ond meeting of the student-faculty

Sayles Questions General Use
Of Brubacher Memorial Lounge

Dr. John M, Sayles

“Use of the Brubacher Memorial
Lounge in Sayles Hall by the entire
student body is a subject that has
never been discussed,” Dr, John M.
Sayles, President of the College,
stated in an exclusive interview
with the Srare Couuecy News
this week. A Nuws reporter met
with the President to talk over
questions and topies of general in-

terest. to the student bod:
use of the Lounge and the ace
sibility of the inen’s dorm to ma
commuters were among the sub-
jects on which Dr. Sayles com-
mented,

As far us Dr, Sayles knows, the
dorm has never been locked to
male commuters, although such @&
case has been reported. The Presi-
dent sees no reason why the Me-
morial Lounge should be open to
State College any more than the
Green Room of Pierce Hall, The
questions will have to be taken up
with the administration,

When asked his opinion of the
student - faculty discussion group,
Dr, Sayles declared tuat he is much
pleased with the idea, "I think the
plan affords a very fine opportu-
nity for the students, It will be a
general clearing house for matters
of trouble of the student body, The
problems will be presented in open
meetings, and both faculty and stu-
dents will offer suggestions, Thus
both the administrative and under-
graduate sides will be heard.”

Dr. Sayles is very much pleased
with the job done in cleaning up
State College. He has received
comments from all sides on the
improvement in appearance of the
entire school. Evidently the stu-
dents have taken the slogan “Keep
It Clean” to heart,
