Reggie Childs, String Maestro,
Has Brilliant Musical Career

VIOLIN KING

A band of national repute, four-
teen artists producing sweet swing
on the Hal Kemp side; a genial
maestro with a successful career be-
hind him; Jimmy De Palma, fea-
tured vocalist; entertainment by
“Perky” and “Pops” Carrol, comedy
singers;—all this the junior class
will offer to the students of State
college tonight at the annual Junior
Prom.

Standing out, of course, from this
array of talent, is Reggie Childs, the
violin-playing maestro, whose band
at the present time is one of the
top-notchers in the sweet swing di-
vision of dance bands. Born in
America and raised in England, he
received his musical education in the
conservatories of London and Paris,
Starting out as a cello player, Childs
aspired to be a symphony soloist.
Later, he pursued a course of study
on the violin and after having mas-
tered this instrument, decided to
devote his talent to the radio and
dance orchestra fields,

Housing (Un)conscious ?

Annually there descends upon us the
Housing Drive. Seniors get to know about
it, but, unfortunately, not until they are
seniors, To the three lower classes, it is
as remote and pointless as a weather pre-
diction. That, to our untutored mind, is the
predominant fault with the present system.

Unless you have lived in the dormitory,
the endless benefits of the housing system
are foreign to you. Here is one vital
point: cramped as we are in present quar-
ters, the proposed Student Union would be
a social center for all those people to whom
the housing system can now offer nothing.

Our second bone of contention is thi.
for three years an average student goes
through State college without thinking or
caring about the Housing fund. During all
the time he interested most vitally in
school affairs, the most important affair
of the school is dead to him. In his last
year, a senior’s interest of necessity changes
from the past to the future. Next year and
teaching are his primary concerns, yet it
is at this bewildering time that he is as
sailed by the Drive captains!

How much better it would be to mak
the undercl conscious of this project
while their activities are within its
Iimits. This weakness is being righte
a commendable way. Today in assen
Dr. Sayles will take a big step in making
the whole college Housing-Drive-conscious,
and what is even more vital, when the
Student Union becomes a reality, it will
be a monumental advertisement,

Business For Sale

Bouquets, Juniors! We know you spent
time and effort on Prom, and the results
were self-evident. However, the amazing
part of the weekend reports 's found in
the summary of opinions that your tea
dance was an equally great social success
as Prom,

That, to us, brings forth two conelu-
sions—first: that tea dances are “in” at
State college — “an end devoutly to be
wished,” we might add Shakespearean-
like; and secondly that the expense and
formality of a function is not necessarily
proportionate to its success,

Here is our idea: since tea dances are
less expensive, why doesn’t some interpris-
ing organization capitalize on them?

(Ed. note. Scooped again! Hayford announced,
at Senior Banquet, plans for All-State Tea Dance

sponsored by '39—Well here's wishing you success,
"Bers.)

see the rivalry ended, as we enjoy it as much as any-
one does, but the fact remains that repetition is not
the spice of life, but variety is. The rivalry should
not die because both of us need it, but unless the
Lion can think up a few new angles they ought to
make this a theme for one page and not for every
issue.

When we viewed the cover we mused—'this looks
like a good edition.” The editorial was excellent
for its type and the fable was the best bit of writing
we've seen in the Lion or any college humor maga-
zine—perhaps its appeal was limited to a minority
but to that minority it should be great amusement—
to the majority it must have, at least, been funny,

At that point we Were ready to believe that the
Lion had at last put out an excellent issue. But we
soon found our mistake. The contest idea was trite:
the State of the Nation just missed; the reprints of
the News stories of the Lion were overdone—we be-
lieve only the headlines and the review of the first
Lion should have been used; the motivation cartoon
lacked zip; the testimonials were not original in any
sense nor funny even as reprints: the parody of the
Gettysburg address gave hope for a new birth of humor
but the song below it ped back into old Lion un-
funniness.

The remainder of the magazine deserves little com-
ment—the cartoons were saved by very clever caption-
ing which brought them up to date and made them
humorous, but then the old quote page slipped back
to the medocrity of senility. Something has to be
done if the board expects to make this the page of
humor that they expect it to be. And then, even the
comedy from other college humorags smelled.

State
of
Affairs

C.E. W.

A tired old man went to his final
rest last week, With his last breath
he fought for the peace of the world
which was his life's goal. Perhaps.
now, he has found a greater, more
lasting peace.

Long an able diplomat, he has
made a lasting impression on Euro-
pean statesmanship. Of humble
birth, he rose to the highest earthly
rank religion can bestow. Always
progressive, he made the most of
the marvels of the twentieth cen-
tury, modernizing the Vatican, but
keeping its older treasures.

Spiritual head and temporal ruler
of the world's millions of Catholics
in life, Pius XI will be mourned by
those of all creeds—all races,

He has left the European scene.
but to our mind his influence will
be felt for some time to come

We were interested in the retire-
ment of Brandeis from the Supreme
Court bench. He was 82. Seems
to us that in the good old days o!
the latter 18th century, a fellow
about that age, named Ben Franklin,
was jaunting to Canada on goodwill
missions.

So With Malice ‘Toward Some has
been chosen the most original book
of ar—el followed by

lorn. We think
either deserved the honor; the Hal-
sey opus, for its sparkling prose
and Bacon illustrations; the Baker
novel. for enmeshing the beat of
blues’ rhythm into the vernacular

And speaking of books, if you
missed Dorothy Thompson's colunn
wherein she sends books, Instead of
Valentines, to the great’ and near-
great, look it up right now—it'’s
worth it

And State is right up there in
the foreground when it comes to in.
hovations in curricular structures.
A recent check shows that over 250
colleges in the country have inst-
tuted some form of Inarriage edueca-
tion, And nearly all of them,

consist of discussion groups or lee-
(ures by authorities, or both

Simmons, latest college to instt-
tute this topic in their undergradu
Jate activities, has started — to

cussion following lecture

from the traditionalized hygiene
courses and turning to problems of

Kampus

Kapers

We are Cupid. We think we did
a good job this week; what with
all the lace and hearts and stuff...
There seemed to be a predominance
lof the kind of Valentine that says,
“I love you, Teacher,” particularly
among the seniors, .... The mem-
|bers of the News board and staff
{received very original Valentines.
Professor Risley was quite the V:
entino of Valentine's Day—he was
not only showered with hearts, but
also his bulletin board.

Junior weekend came and went.
After the ball was over we looked
around and found that we had a
very nice time. The secret came
out of the bag (better than the
balloons did!) and here was petite
and sweet Jane Wilson carrying her
jhonors modestly and well, May we
say a word for Regina Murphy and
the attendants who formed a really
queenly court. Reggie Childs
presented a very danceable band.
We like him—didn't you? Of course,
|Pomp and Circumstance has been
played more accurately, and we feel
it was careless of Reggie to have
Slipped up with Myskania at the
piano!.... Tea was served at Tea
Dance and we even saw some people
drinking it. . The Juniors did
Well as entertainers, if not as fi-
nanciers, The many outsiders at
the functions must have carried

The time when old friends meet is
a good time. The past weekend
overflowed with welcome alums. We
saw Milly Nightingale and Paul
Dittman. John O'Brien was around
too. . . . Dottie Cain and Estelle
Murphy visited Chi Sig. Marion
Cchen was at AEPhi.... The Psi
Gam's welcomed Helen Emery

Sororities

Let's take a look at the sorority
houses. . Kappa Delta found it
embarrassing to re-fuse, when a fuse
blew out at 10:40 o'clock last Monday
night. The Gamma Kaps a
entine in the shape ot a cat
|haven’t seen it, but they know it’s
i there, . When the E.EP. pledges
reached Phi Delt the old southern
hospitality was lacking. Nobod:
home, Were they all out or all in
bed? .. . P.A-T, knows how to treat
the pledges. The Kappa Beta pledges
put up a pencil sharpener back-
wards, so the E.EP. pledges re-
versed the order—plus walking a
few miles after furniture.

Now just e side glance at what
the men are doing when not in the
sorority houses—or arent they? x
The freshmen pleages at K.D.R.
have it all over the sophomores when
it comes to make-up—particularly
lip-stick all over Brophy.

Housing (Un)conscious?

Annually there descends upon us the
Housing Drive. Seniors get to know about
it, but, unfortunately, not until they are
seniors, To the three lower classes, it is
as remote and pointless as a weather pre-
diction. That, to our untutored mind, is the
predominant fault with the present system

Unless you have lived in the dormitory,
the endless benefits of the housing system
are foreign to you. Here is one vital
point: cramped as we are in prese
ters, the proposed Student Union would be
a social center for all those people to whom
the housing system can now offer nothing.

Our second bone of contention is this:
for three years an average student goes
through State college without thinking or
caring about the Housing fund. During all |
the time he is interested most vitally in |
school affairs, the most important affair
of the school is dead to him. In his last
year, a senior’s interest of necessity changes
from the past to the future, Next year and
teaching are his primary concerns, yet it
is at this bewildering time that he is as-

iled by the Drive captains!

How much better it would be to make
the underclasses conscious of this project
while their activities are within its very
imits. This weakness is being righted in
a commendable way, Today in assembly,
Dr. Sayles will take a big step in making
the whole college Housing-Drive-conscious,
and what is even more vital, when the
Student Union becomes a reality, it: will
be a monumental advertisement,

COMMENTSTATER

We have just finished reading the State College
Lion that PUblication that attempts to be funny four
times a year with the use of one theme—that which
1s wrong With the News. We ure very willing to ad-

| mit that the rivalry that exists between the News and

the Lion is much like the rivalry that exists between
every college newspaper and comic magazine, but no
one has dragged it out to its unfunny end quite Ilke
the Lion has succeeded in doing. We do not want to
see the rivalry ended, as we enjoy it as much as any-
one does, but the fact remains that repetition is not
the spice of life, but variety is. The rivalry should
not die because both of us need it, but unless the
Lion can think up a few new angles they ought to
make this a theme for one page and not for every
issue.

When we viewed the cover we mused—'this looks
like a good edition.” The editorial excellent
for its type and the le was the best bit of writing
we've seen in the Lion or any college humor maga-
zine—perhaps its appeal was limited to a minority
but to that minority it should be great amusement
to the majority it must have, at least, been funny.

At that point we were ready to believe that the
Lion had at last put out an excellent issue. But we
soon found our mistake. The contest idea was trite;
the State of the Nation just missed; the reprints of
the News stories of the Lion were overdone—we be-
lieve only the headlines and the review of the first
Lion should have been used; the motivation cartoon
lacked zip; the testimonials were not original in any
sense nor funny even as reprints; the parody of the
Gettysburg address gave hope for a new birth of humor
but the song below it slumped back into old Lion un-
funniness.

The remainder of the magazine deserves little com-
ment—the cartoons were saved by very clever caption-
ing which brought them up to date and made them
humorous, but then the old quote page slipped back
to the medocrity of senility. Something has to be
done if the board expects to make this the page of
humor that they expect it to be. And then, even the
comedy from other college humorags smelled,

The makeup of the paper was excellent, and if the
contents had been as good as the makeup, we would
have been able to write as our predecessors did, but
as it is, for our humor we'll read the State College
Directory.

Talk about clowns, we think that the MAA boys
or the janitorial system takes the dunce’s cap, Priday
a crew of rooters were assembled from Hartwick—
the game was over—and they were waiting to dance
and then the State hosts were informed that there
could be no dancing as the Commons had not been
signed for State hospitality!

STATE COLLEGE NEWS, FEBRUARY 17, 1939

When play was moving slowly
in the jitterbug struggle last week-
end, we learned a lot about how to
take basketball from (he comments
roaring out from the Hartwick
bench.

First, there was the ordinary
Iroquois Warrior cry which has its
derivation from the ancient battle
cries of the tribe from which the
Hartwick squad chose its nickname.
Said war-whoops usually resolved
themselves into “Don't Jet him get
away With that" or sometim the
more subtle “Sit on that guy.

Then, there was the essence of
cries—that issuing from the medi-
cine man himself, It seems that
whenever the coach thinks that the
otner team has son.e valuable play-
ers and these players have a few
fouls called against them, it is es-
sential for the well-being of one’s
aWn squad to cali over to the scorer
“How about curtains for him?” at
each new foul committed. Well
Coach Johnson, we suppose that
there’s nothing like being a hypo-
crite.

The jitterbug complex seems to
have given away to a bil of serious-
ness, if the lack of demonstrations in
last Friday's game can be taken as
an indication, About the only rem-
nant was a cheer which, being very
opportune, as well as aptly phrased,
just plain hu

Come on Hartwick
Truck on down

And which. being accompanied by
a neat bit of trucking from three
tricky cheerleaders, rates almost a
high as the branctt: in the third
row of the Hartwick cheering section

As we write this little epitaph on
commuter spirit, we cast our eyes
downward, for we have aided the
death, we suppose, by substituting
when the commuters, as usual,
showed up for basketball games with
insufficient players.

We can rationalize our own posi-
tion by noting the fact, that as
commuter, we simply helped out ¢
when the full blooded members of
our tribe were not in evidence, de-
spite our oath of allegiance to an-
other squad, Now, with us out of
the way, we should like to call the
commuter attention to the
laudable situation which — exists
Since the first intramural ne of
the season, the commuters have had
to forfeit: cunofficially) every game

We should like to suggest to Larry
Strattner that the commuters — be
dropped as a competitive unit ut
at least five men can be found who
will be on hand when games are
to be played.

A trifle less than a year ago we
said something or other about the
probability of Camp Johnston hi-
jackers embarking on a BIG en-
terprise; viz: carrying away the
camp in its entirety, Well—our little
light-fingered (and much-muscled)
friends are apparently getting into
training in order to fulfill our
prognostication a year after it was
made, The latest reports from the
Chatham front state that the most
recent article to be spirited away
from camp is a double-sized inner
spring mattress!

Anticipating that the enemy will
make the final attack sometime
within the next month, Lotta
Bunkers, in a body, has initiated
shrewd strategies to outwit the
thieves. Sympathetic Chatham
neighbors by the score have been
enlisted as a vigilante committee
to stand a constant watch over the
camp, State Troopers Muldoch and
Chuldemoquoddelly have agreed to
commute between the Troop XXX
headquarters and Chatham, keeping
a watchful eye on the place and
waiting for things to POP!! W.A.A.
council has approved a rush order
to the a-Stuk Anchor Company
for four extra-size anchors to be
attached to each corner of the cabin,
The company representative has
guaranteed that only a six-tractor
team would be able tc teiggle the
corner-stones.

And while all these frenzied pre-
cautions are being taken, amateur
and professional sleuths are tracing
various clues and “expect an arrest
within twenty-four hours.” One of
the detectives said that from the
clues of an overturned star bowl,

Although the frosh had their ori-
ginal starting lineup, which, inci-
a distinct surprise
because the injured Scott and Leh-
man entered the fracas, they were
unable to come through with a vic-
tory. Virgil Scott, the team’s ace
scorer was considerably handicapped
by his injured ankle, At no time
did he resemble the Scott of the
previous contests.

Despite this fact, the play was
centered about him as usual, The
defeat of the frosh cannot be at-
tributed in total to the injury of
Scott, for the entire team played in
streaks. At times they clicked in
every department and on other oc-
casions they failed miserably. Their
pass work, especially, was spotty.

tack around Finnegan, their consis-

Students to Dramatize
College History

Thursday afternoon from 4:00

jlo 4:30 o'clock, State college
will broadcast its first radio pro-
jgram from the newly equipped
[soundproof studio fh Draper hall,
The presentation will come to the
radio audience direct from room 207,
jand through arrangements with
WOKO will be heard over that sta-
‘tion.
| The program will include an
introductory speech by Dr, Abram
R, Brubacher, president, followed by
a dramatization in five scenes of the
learly history of the college.
The script has been written and
|produced by the college radio guild,
junder the direction of William G,
Hardy and Louis C, Jones, instruc-
tors in English.

The first scene is concerned with
the success of David Perkins Page,
first principal of the new State Nor-
mal school, in his attempt to firmly
establish his educational experiment
as a permanent institution, In the
second scene, Albert Husted, the
great soldier-scholar, figures prom-
linently during the vicious battle
|between the State Normal company
and Confederate opposition. The
dramatic war setting, with students
jand teachers fighting side by side,
makes an especially interesting
|highlight,

‘The main plot of the third scene
js furnished by Kate Stoneman, an
ardent man-hater and instructor in
the Normal college, who preached
her demands for women's rights in
jher classes, The fourth dramatized
incident is the memorable fire of the
old college buildings in 1906. Tue
final scene is concerned with the
building of Draper hall in April,
| 1914, and Dr, Brubacher's hopes and
|plans at that time, The program
will close with the playing of the
