Brooklyn, Pratt, State Foes
As Squad Travels South
Brooklyn Undefeated;
Pratt Uses Fast Break
To Pile Scores High
At 11:26 this morning the Eagles
embarked for New York where they
will play strong Brooklyn Polytech-
nic and Pratt Institute teams.
Tonight they meet the up-to-now
undefeated Brooklyn Poly five, who
have beaten such teams as Pratt
and Union, In the Union game tall,
fast Walch and big, left-handed
Brumotte lead the game for Brook-
lyn, and State expects some trouble
from these boys.
Poly plays a man to man defense
with an offensive consisting of
working the ball to the corners and
using a shallow “figure eight”
around the foul line.
The resemblance of State's offense
and defense to that of Brooklyn's
should make a very interesting game
to followers of basketball.
Pratt Scores High
Pratt Institute plays host to the
Eagles tomorrow night. Pratt plays
an outscoring game, similar to that
of Rhode Island State. Their man
to man defense is often neglected
as they try to run their opponents
into the floor with fast, continuous
scoring. Brooklyn beat Pratt 47-16
at their own game, and Coach Hat-
field has been drilling the boys to do
the same.
Bob Graham showed formidable
spirit as he scored half of his team’s
points against Brooklyn. Another
Pratt high scorer is Al Aquino, who
garnered 13 points in the game with
John Marshall College. State will
have to curb the tallies of these two,
if they hope to beat Pratt.
Good Sports
“Sportsmanship is one of the out-
standing features of Pratt’s ball
club,” said Coach Hatfield. “They
have always received us well down
there, and we expect to be treated
Ukewise this year.”
Frank Hansen will be in uniform
for the New York trip, although he
will probably see little action, since
he is not entirely in condition yet,
A bad cold has kept Bye Benton out
of practice for a few days, and Bob
Combs is still taking treatments at
the hygiene office.
Coach plans to start Brauner,
Dickson, Marsland, and _ possibly
Young, who has been showing im-
provement in recent practices.
The whole team is making the
trip in reserved coaches. A few stu-
dents are accompanying them,
The last two weeks Coach Hat-
field has been drilling the Eagles
in a new type of offense, The team
seems to have improved its scoring
power since the inception of this
system. The hope {s that Pratt and
Poly will be caught off guard by the
play's novelty.
Girls’ Sextets
Battle for Lead
Newman Hall Heads
League Basketball Loop
Wednesday evening, in a triple
header, Newman Hall beat North-
Western 22-20, Cooper triumphed
over Junipers 26-4, and Dorm C
conquered Dorm B 17-10.
The clever passwork of the New-
man forwards, Giavelli, Garfall and
Trusso, overcame the close guarding
of the North-Western team. Gar-
fall was high scorer making 16 of
the 22 points.
The well-coordinated teamwork
of the Cooper six kept the ball in
their hands most of the game. The
Junipers aggregation fought hard,

c
but showed an obvious need of prac-
tice, High scorer for Cooper was
Marge Ackley shooting eight bask-
ets.
The first half of the Dorm B-
Dorm C game was a walkover for
the Dorm C girls. But in the sec-
ond half Dorm B hit its stride with
the result that, at the end of the
third quarter, the teams were tied.
However, paced by Stewart with sev-
en points, Dorm C overcame its op-
position,
In the afternoon session, Dorm A
struggled against a determined
Moreland Hall team to maintain a
tie lead with Newman Hall. Just
before the final whistle blew, Leda
LaSalle made a basket, and the game
ended, 15-14.
Frosh Seek Third Win
Against Delhi Tonight
This afternoon the frosh will
board the bus for Delhi, where they
go on the court against the Delhi
Aggies for their first game of the
"42 season. Not tvo proud of their
record of two wins against five los-
ses, the yearlings hope to repeat
their previous win from the Aggies
to put another check in the win
column,
Delhi uses a zone defense, but the
frosh have had practice against
various intramural zones and have
learned how to work against It.
Chessmen Request Transportation
In Order to Defend League Cup
Last year the chessmen did so
well with their $75 that the student
association has allotted them the
huge sum of $175, With this money
the team has made but one trip,
Know why?
Well, the railroad rates are high-
er than all—the devil, It would cost
them $30 to $40 to make thelr long
trips by train, One of the players
had a car last year; and they were
able to make trips to New York,
Washington, Cornell, and various
other colleges. They economized to
the utmost on thelr trip to West
Point to make it on $4. (Winning
the match, too.) What other organi
zation ever made that long a trip
for six persons on that amount?
State's pawnpushers won 13 out
of 19 matches and tied two last
year to give them an average of
10%.
The team has made but one long
trip this season, cause they aint got
no car! Possibly they could make
three or four more journeys this
year, but they don’t feel that they
should spend $30 or $40 for just one
trip to play one or two matches,
The average of the team this year
4s only 25%, but this can be explain-
ed by the fact that the chessmen
have played but four matches
against the toughest teams in the
league. Some smart freshman will
probably figure it all out and decide
they have won one and lost three.
The ys owe Colgate and the
Univers: of Connecticut return
matches, If they don't manage to
get another chess match with these
schools, our team will lose their
Upper Hudson Valley Chess League
cup without @ chance to defend it.
The two alternatives which
can be taken, Student association
could give the chess team more
money, or some kind-hearted soul
could drive for the chessmen, Al-
ready the college budget ts being
cut; so tnat cancels the first sugges-
tion
Algebratically speaking, 2-1 1
Therefore if the chess team does-
n't get a car, they can't play many
more matches. The team is willing
to pay the expenses of anyone who
would take them on their trips. Cer-
tainly the team that made the hest
showing for State College last year
should be supported,
Anyone interested in driving to
New York and various other cities
for the chess team ts urged to con-
tact Art Fox immediately. Let's give
the champions of the Upper Hudson
Valley Chess League a chance to
show thelr stuff!
‘CARL MITCHELL
Martin Speaks
While reading the sage notes of
Whitney Martin's “Along the Sports
Trail” the other day, we came across
a few gems which are worthy of the
attention of State students.
Our columnist friend is more than
a little alarmed at the prospect of
taking brain-shattering college men
and subjecting them to compulsory
military training,
“It is equivalent to tossing our
young men into a cage of hungry
tigers; to hanging them up by the
thumbs until they look like air-
plane hitch-hikers, and to tleing
them in knots and then soaking
them in water.”
Martin is not taking the side of
the college men, or belittling the
Selective Service policy of taking
these same students, but rather is
lamenting the fact that these lads
have evaded a little extra exercise.
“,,,the sports-dodger disinte-
grates into a sort of a walking
museum piece, ready to break like
an Egyptian vase at the first tenta-
tive tap.”
Stop, now, and think a little. Does
this discription fit you? How many
median-raisers have found time to
exercise their backs instead of their
digits? Can you picture a State man
carrying a military pack, when his
only pre-induction action has been
a wide yawn and a semaphore
stretch of the arm?
“.,.two or three score of salty
young men took their oumps on the
varsity teams, and liked it.
“The remainder of the student
body was made up of stalwart young
specimens, shaped like everything
from a pumpkin to a pretzel and
whose idea of violence was to swat
a fly on an angelfood cake.”
As humorous as this may sound,
there nevertheless is a serious in-
dictment in the satire. At State we
may not have any pumpkins or pret-
zels rolling through the corridors,
but we do have those whose concep-
tion of violence is a little warped.
The latter go Martin one better.
Instead of swatting flies, they take
to the strenuous swatting of a ping-
pong pill, or a lazy reach to toss a
card in a Commons bridge game.
To cite a sterling example: re-
cently four seniors applied to the
Navy in order to try for the fam-
ous V-7 of the Naval Reserve. None
of these men had ever participated
in a major sport. One got in—25%
perfect.
Later two other men applied to
this same Naval Reserve. Both of
these men were members of the
varsity basketball squad, Both made
the grade—100% perfect!
A Fight Song—Again
Recently someone asked, “What
happened to that fight song that
was to be written?”
That's what we'd like to know.
We tried to leave it up to those
members of the student body who
were musically gifted, but no
ponse, Not even a ripple was heard.
So we wrote to Fred Waring, but
the good director of “Plea e"
politely but firmly infe
recent battle with AS
things in a state
had a lot of back orders to fill,
That throws it back into the lap
of Joe Blow on the home campus.
If the prospect of leaving State
with a lasting contribution, destin-
ed to keep one's name alive for
years on end is not a sufficient in-
ducement, then our sense of values
must necessarily disappear with the
morning mist.
Defense Material
The other day there was a hot
game going on in the intramural
series. Dan Bucel, of the Ramblers
was starring. Tn fact, he was so
good that when he was finally taken
out of the game, the Rambl sent
in three men to replace him! atch

CH Beats Potter
To Take Top Spot
League Race Tightens
As Result of Contest
Areal fight for top position of the
Intramural Basketball League has
developed as a result of the past
week's games. College House took
over Potter Club in their crucial con-
test last Monday to hand the Potter
lads their first defeat in the current
season. Potter Club missed consist-
ently and scored only nine points
while the College House quintet
garnered twelve to emerge vic-
torious.
CH In First Place
Having already defeated the Ram-
blers in a previous game, College
House advanced to first place with
a record of eight wins and one loss.
The Ramblers fought on even
terms for three quarters but became
erratic in the final stanza, failing

to score a point, while at the same
time the Central Avenue squad piled
up twelve to wind up on the winning
side of a 25-14 score. Oarr scored
10 points for the victors.
KDR Wins, Loses
Kappa Delta Rho returned to the
winning column when they defeated
Kappa Beta 23-16. Kensky and
Graves were high for each team with
12 and 10 points respectively. The
KDR team displayed flashes of its
former winning squads in this game;
however, in their next tussle they
bowed to the Sayles Hall aggrega-
tion 17-16, as Stan Gipp popped in a
field goal with ten seconds re-
maining.
Sigma Lambda Sigma scored al-
most at will as they steamrolled over
@ ragged Thomas More five. The
Pierce Hall neighbors piled up a 21-2
lead at half time and continued to
increase their score for a 41-11 win.
Jordan and Capel scored ten points
aplece for the winners.
Bowling Nears Finish
With Two Teams Tied
With only three more matches left
to be bowled, the intramural bowl-
ing league is rapidly drawing to a
successful close. The match between
Potter Club and Sigma Lambda Sig-
ma next week will definitely decide
the winner, for each team has won
11 and lost one at the present writ-
ing. The other two matches will be
between Kappa Delta Rho, Kappa
Beta and Sayles Hall.
The standings now are: Potter
Club, won 11, lost one; SLS, won
lost ten; Kappa Beta, won four, lost
five, lost seven; Ramblers, won five,
lost ten; Kappa Beta, won four, lost
eight; Sayles Hall, won none, lost
nine,
The contests of the past week
brought about a radical change ia
the individual averages. Carr, with
an average of 1643, moved up to
take first spot, and Bob Seifert
stands second with an average of
164.1,
GINNY POLHEMUS:
“WANTED — A leader for folk-
dancing.” So said President Kay
Peterson in a frantic appeal. You
see, girls, the folk-festival (time for
fun for all the femmes) is coming
up next month and some prelimin-
ary groundwork is necessary. Any-
one interested in assuming the po-
sition should contact Kay.
Kegling Popular
League bowling has become so
popular that Win Jones has decided
to continue the WAA tournament as
long as interest doesn’t wane. Wed-
nesday, Psi Gamma was in a tie for
first place with Gamma Kappa Phi
by virtue of its victory over Junipers.
on Monday. Newman Hall (scheduled
to meet Gamma Kap yesterday at-
ternoon) was in second place.
Despite the enthusiasm among
the group houses, individual bowl-
ing has been slack. WAA gives a
partial refund on games played at
the Rice Alleys, if they total at least
twelve. And only ten games are re-
quired for credit. Girls, how about
aiming for Ann Monoghan's high
score of 175?
Fencing Match
Next Saturday some lucky co-eds
will fence here with La Salle School
cadets of Troy. Representatives of
State will be chosen on the basis of
ability, form (fencing, of course),
and attendance. This new sport
has many avid devotees who clash
foils every Saturday A. M. Hopeful
candidates for this match must at-
tend tomorrow's practice to make
the grade. Get out there, gals!
Amazing Program
The WAA sports program is amaz-
ing! Girls can either bundle up in
ski suits and go skating, or slip into
a bathing suit and go swimming on
the same day. The nymphs have
only one more Thursday to get
swimming credit, as the lists of hours
must be in by Friday. Supervised
skating credit will be given to all
girls husky enough to laugh at the
sub-zero thermometer on Tuesday,
Thursday and Sunday afternoons.
Camp Outing
After an unsuccessful attempt last
weekend to round up a quintet of
girls to go out to Camp Johnston,
Betty Lou Court, captain of Lotta-
Bunkers, is pleased to make the
announcement that TOMORROW
morning five girls ARE going out to
Chatham. The hearty campers in-
clude Pat Frey (in charge,) Elaine
Grogan, Barbara Putman, Mae Kay
and Mary Sanderson, Have fun,
gals!

Sayles Explains New Plan Activities Council Regents Offer Plan to ‘45
To Shorten College Course
To House Frats in Dorm
Draft, Increased Costs
Will Place Societies
In Precarious Positions
Dr. John M, Sayles, President of
the College, met with the members
of Interfraternity Council late last
Friday afternoon and attempted to
clarify for them the effect of the
war on the fraternity housing situa-
tion. He suggested that the fra-
ternities move into Sayles Hall and
offered to store their furniture un-
til they are strong enough to rea-
semble their houses.
Since leases will be presented for
renewal shortly, Dr. Sayles believed
it advisable to inform the fraterni-
ties of what they will be up against
in the next few years. He pointed
out the rise in prices, the uncertainty
of the draft situation, the decrease
in the enrollment of men. The last
two of these conditions make it
practically impossible to predict the
number of men who will return to
college next fall.
Fraternities Hard Hit
All four fraternities will be hard
hit. Kappa Delta Rho owns its house
and has a sizable mortgage which
must be paid. Dr. Sayles suggested
that they rent their house for the
duration of the war. Because of the
shortage of adequate housing in Al-
bany this would not be difficult to
do, Potter Club and Sigma Lambda
Sigma must find smaller houses or
disband. Kappa Beta has no alterna-
tive except to break up.
Dr. Sayles stated that the admin-
istration has no desire to abolish
fraternities, since it believes that
they fill a social need on the cam-
pus. To preserve the integrity of
the organizations, Dr. Sayles pro-
posed that each fraternity rent a
section of the new men's dormitory
and store their furniture in the un-
finished bowling room of the build-
ing.
Club Room For Each
Each fraternity would have the
exclusive use of one of the club
rooms and each group would be
given a spare room where commut-
ers and alumni could remain over
night sometimes. Dates for exclusive
dances could be arranged by mutual
agreement. For every five men who
moved into the dormitory a job cov-
ering board could be provided for
one man.
‘The cost of living in the dormitory
is now $162.00 a semester. Dr, Sayles
stated that he envisaged no change
in this price in spite of rising costs,
since the food is purchased in large
volumes. Payments of room and
board can be made in monthly in-
stallments.
All aspects of Dr. Sayles’ proposals
are now under discussion by all fra-
ternities. Action by each one will
be taken soon.

Governor Urges
Unified Defense
Governor Herbert H, Lehman, in
his speech to last Friday's assembly,
explained the state defense progral
The governor warned that the
enemy was a “potent striking force”
which offered a real threat to the
American way of life, and advocat-
ed that the State be unified under
a single command over all defense
activities, which should be in oper-
ation twenty-four hours a day, sev-
en days a week. This unified com-
mand would create an orderly,
and efficient machinery to meet the
demands of increasing war produc-
tion for ourselves and our allies.
Declaring that 70% of the war
production of the state was being
done by 60 concerns, the Governor
stressed the importance of sub-con-
tracting production to the smaller
concerns thereby stabilizing and in-
creasing the total output.
Although the governor advocated
sweeping legislation to facilitate ad-
ministration, he stated that it
should be proved that such changes
are necessary only for the period of
emergency. “Do not use this situa-
tion as an excuse to scrap perman-
ent legislation of a social character,”
the Governor warned.
He advised every able-bodied citi-
zen to take an active part in an all-
out war effort. “Everyone can,” said
the Governor, “if we recognize that
we are a cog in a machine stream-
lined for victory.”

Radio Research Work
Operations of the State College
War Activities Council are rapidly
expanding with emphasis at the
moment being placed on the Facul-
ty-Myskania basketball game, Oth-
er work includes the preparation of
radio defense programs, the sale of
defense stamps in the Co-op, and
the establishment of sewing classes.
The Faculty-Myskania basketball
game and a preliminary game fea-
turing the practice teachers vs. the
Milne seniors are scheduled for
March 20. Representing the faculty
in the main game will be Dr. Don-
nal V, Smith, Mr. Paul Bulger, Mr.
Kooman Boycheff, Dr. James A.
Hicks, Mr. James E. Gemmell, Dr.
William J. Hartley, Dr. Robert Rie-
now, and Dr, Ralph H. Baker. “I'm
taking exercises each evening to get
in shape for the game,” said Dr.
Rienow. Both games will be serious.
Proceeds of the games will go first
to the State College War Activities
Council, then to the U. S, O. and
the Red Cross. Admission will be
approximately . twenty-five cents,
Weekly Radio Program
A fifteen minute radio program is
presented each Tuesday afternoon
and Thursday evening by the radio
defense group. The research com-
mittee, under the supervision of Dr.
Rienow, is at present working on
such topics as posters and arts as
used in defense, the sugar shortage,
front lawn vegetable gardens, and
the motor mechanics course. Some
of the research is prepared by the
Forum of Politics who find new
topics and turn them into the com-
mittee. Also a radio script group
composed of Albany business women
is working under the direction of
the committee.
Definite Sewing Schedule
A definite schedule has been ar-
ranged for sewing work. Students
who are willing to contribute their
services may sign up for any hour at
which they want to work, Room 107
will be open every day from 9 A. M.
to 5 P. M. There is an urgent de-
mand for students who will donate
thelr time to this type of work ac-
cording to a statement made by
Miss Sara T. DeLaney, Dean of
Women, A person need not be skilled
in sewing for there are different
kinds @f work to accommodate all.
Notices posted in the halls and
rooms of the college publicize the
work of War Activities Council, In
the near future a huge directory will
be placed in the Rotunda telling
about the various defense activities,
the supervisors of the activities and
their off! and the rooms where
defense work will be carried on. A
list of alr-raid precautions compil-
ed by Dr. Louis Jones is published
in today's News.

Tragedy, Romance
Advanced Dramatics continues its
new season with offerings directed
by Jane Curtis and Betty Barden,
juniors. The two plays, which repre-
sent two entirely different types of
drama, will be presented next Tues-
day night, February 24, in the Page
Hall auditorium,
Miss Curtis’ play tells a romantic
story, of a girl in whose veins runs
the wild blood of a gypsy mother,
who married a gentleman, The scene
is laid in Roumania, The girl pos-
sesses all the mother's fire and none
of the father's conventionality, The
conflict between the father’s will
and the daughter's spirit is the
theme of the play. Morris Gerber
and Harold Feigenbaum, juniors,
and Trece Aney, Georgia Hardesty
and Roderick Fraser, sophomores,
comprise the cast.
Miss Barden will stage an expres-
sionistic tragedy. Her cast includes
Doris Lichtwart, Harold Ashworth,
Arthur Soderlind and _ Robert
Loucks, sophomores, and John Lu-
bey, '45. Each one of the characters
in the play has a hunger for some-
thing in life which he can achieve
in only one way.

DoBell Views State Life Through Camera's Eye
By Doran and Aney
It takes the precision of an _ex-
pert mathematician like Dr. How-
urd DoBell to bring momentarily to
life the actions that have been
stilled on the black and white pho-
tographic plate. The April issue of
the New York State Education mag-
azine will be dedicated to illustrate
how teachers learn to train a
younger generation of future clti-
zens. Acting as models for the pho-
tographs are a group of State Col-
lege students who were chosen by
the art editor as typifying the mod-
ern colleglan, Normal schools and
teachers’ colleges throughout the
state have submitted thelr pictures
to Dr, DoBell who will assemble
them to complete the survey of col-
lege activities,
Every aspect of teacher training
has been considered—the intellec-
tual, showing classroom scenes, con-
ferences with supervisors, and prac-
lice teaching; the healthful, illus~
trating the hygiente facilities and
precautions of the modern teacher
training institution; the creative
and aesthetic, dealing with music,
dramaties, and art; and lastly, the
recreational, concerning sports, bull
sessions, and night life,
Although photography has been a
hobby of Dr, DoBell’s for only three
years, his exhibits, which are fre-
quently sponsored by the art de-
partment, !llustrate an unusual tal-
ent, ranking him far above the
average amateur, In the game room
of his Delmar home he likes noth-
ing better than to spend his eve-
nings mixing chemicals, and remov-
ing negatives from the “soup.” He
believes that it 1s necessary for the
amateur photographer who has @
conscientious desire to improve his
work to do his own printing and
enlarging. “He knows the effect he
wishes,” Dr, DoBell explains, “and
can obtain it better than any cam-
era shop.”
Posing the models himself, he
placed floodlights in various posi-
tions to obtain special highlights
that accentuate the features and
“round the face.” Dr, DoBell strove
for a pleture story in which expres-
sion, position, background, and
lighting were unified before he
snapped the shutter, “I never trust
to luck,” said Dr, DoBell, “It never
works.”
"I wish to thank all the models
who worked with me,” sald Dr, Do-
Bell, “for thelr punctuality, pa-
tience, and willingness to cooper-
ate,”
Students May Omit
Year by Attendance
At Summer Sessions
By Gordon Baskin
In 1917 the Board of Regents de-
cided to institute a summer ses-
sion in the State College curriculum
to shorten the time required to com-
plete scheduled courses. Twenty-
five years later, in 1942, the United
States 1s again embroiled in war,
but now the decision has been left
to the class of 1945,
Last Monday during the newly
formed Orientation class, Dr, Milton
G. Nelson, Dean of the College,
presented the plan suggested by the
New York State Board of Regents
—a plan in which the present fresh-
men and succeeding classes will be
able to complete the four year
course required for the Bachelor of
Arts degree in three years, By at-
tending a third semester during
July and August for three consecu-
tive summers, the student will thus
eliminate his junior year,
Graduate Work Required
Tt must be remembered that al-
though the customary time require-
ment for the Bachelor of Arts de-
gree would be reduced, the five-year
or graduate work plan would still
be in effect, The student must com-
plete his graduate work in addition
to the proposed method, thus in ef-
fect shortening the five-year plan to
four years,
Because the sophomore and pre-
ceding classes have already lost one
or more summer intervals, no plan
can be evolved to graduate them
earlier,
Credit Hours Explained
One hundred and _ twenty-four
credit hours must be earned to re-
ceive the A.B, degree. During the
normal college term, from Septem-
ber to June, thirty-two credit hours
may be compiled by the student. Ac-
cording to the proposed plan, ten
credit hours may be obtained in
each of the three summers following
the freshman, sophomore and sen-
for years, In all, ninety-six credit
hours are earned during the three
regular years, and thirty additional
credit hours in the three summer
sessions, Thus 126 credit hours may

Teachers and Tolerance
Tolerance is an essential characteristic of a well-educated
person, of a good teacher. In these days of growing war
fervor, a wave of bitter intolerance is sweeping across our
nation, a wave which threatens to obliviate all the open-
mindedness, fairness, and sense of justice which we as a
nation, have endeavored to instill into the members of on-
coming generations,
The United States, melting-pot of all nations, has long
prided itself on its liberality, on its guarantees of freedom
to those of all nations, creeds, and religions. We are not
Italians, Germans, or English: We are Americans, Yet
around us are evidences of destructive thought, destroy the
Germans, blot Japan from the map forever. Such hatred
is directed against members of the Axis nations, and even
against those of Axis descent now living in America.
Such hatred seems essential for the successful termina-
tion of the present war. In order to put forth the most
effective efforts, the people of our nation must be aroused,
must be shaken out of their lethargy, must be infused with
the desire for and the spirit of victory.
If hatred must be generated among the American people,
it must be directed against ideologies, against the govern-
ments with whom we are at war. This hatred must not
be directed against the deluded peoples of these nations who
fight as victims of propaganda, who have been played upon
in the game of power politics. This hatred must necessarily
not be racial, must not be directed against nationalities, as
such, but only against dictatorship, selfishness, and the
spirit of aggression,
If Americans fail, if Americans turn from their essential
characteristics, a spirit of ill-will and resentment will be
generated among the people of those nations whom we
oppose, ill-will and resentment against us, all we represent,
plan or propose. Such can never be the basis for any in-
ternational union or for any plan of equitable peace. If
intolerance and selfishness dictate a peace comparable to
the treaty of Versailles, the inevitable result will be another
war and Americans will have lost that for which they are
essentially fighting,
An equitable peace may depend on the future citizens of
America but it is now that the teachers of America face a
difficult situation, As Americans they must necessarily
give “all-out” aid for victory. As individuals they must
strive to establish tolerance, a sense of justice, and open-
mindedness. As teachers of future America they must en-
deavor to unite these two objectives.
Let’s Do It Some Morel
We can “keep ’em rolling,” “Keep ‘em flying,” and even
“keep ’em mum,” but let’s also “keep ‘em laughing!”
Last Wednesday for the second time since the opening
of hosilities, State College invited the men in the service
to attend a college function. The response on both occasions
was spontaneous, not only on the part of soldiers but of the
student body as well, In the first instance it was a complete
surprise to most students to see an entire section of the
bleechers crowded with the boys in uniform. Many agreed
that it was one of the most hospitable gestures on the part of
this student body and expressed their eager desire to repeat
the invitation,
We have often been accused of being more “social minded”
than is becoming to prospective teachers but we can never
emphasize too strongly the necessity of a social atmosphere
in the war time period, It has become fairly evident that
in our anxiety to produce an army “second to none” we
have overlooked the fact that a war is not won solely with
planes, tanks, and thousands of men but with that intangible
element we call morale,
In doing our part to achieve a final victory we as the build-
ers of tomorrow’s democracy must never forget that the man
behind the gun is the man who will keep US living; for de-
feat, which many are inclined to consider remote, would be
worse than death,
State College has the facilities, State College students
have already shown their eagerness to participate 100%, so,
let’s keep it up, “Let’s keep ‘em laughing,”

The Old Hokum Bucket
with Bub Adams
Dear Mama,
Now I know what a masher is, Last night I danced
with a State boy, but don’t worry mama, the crutches
fit me very well. My average is good, too. I’ve only
fallen three times. Of course, the third time I was
at the top of the library stairs, but oh well..... It
was funny mama, one minute I was at the top of
the stairs, the next minute I was at the bottom of
the stares, Gosh,
The boy I went with is awfully sweet, mama. Did
you ever see an ostrich swallow a watermelon? Neither
did I but I'm sure if an ostrich did swallow a water-
melon his neck would look like Trotsky's. That's his
name—Wilmer “Trotsky” Wattle. Honestly, he's so,
so sweet, mama. He's interested in horticulture and
gosh, he said I was the fairest flower of them all. The
only trouble was he said it while we were dancing
and he said it rather loud and I heard somebody
whisper, “Yeh, wall-flower,” and Gregory Clinker has
been limping ever since. I didn’t kick him very hard
but gee, he sure did look funny all crumpled-up-like
on the dance floor. Gee, when Trotsky says nice
things his Adam's apple bobbles so much you'd swear
it would come up and smack ‘im in the jaw. The only
trouble with him is he’s kind of serious-like. You never
can tell when he's kidding. Last night he said some-
thing about my looking well in a shroud an’ then
his Adam's apple came up and biffed 'im in the jaw
again. Gee, he's a joker all right.
It was a wonderful T party alright alright (T as in
Toe), If I do say so myself, mama, I was “moy
boneheeto,” It's funny how much my Spanish sounds
like Japanese. Are you sure I squint only because
I'm nearsighted? Well, as I was saying, it was some
party. I made up my mind to be truly charming so
I hung on his every word while he hung on my every
foot. I used to wonder why I have such a flat A. Not
any more, How can a girl help it with an elongated
icicle treading on her defenseless digits? Gee, what
a zombie! I felt like a lardarm on a hugger (or is it a
lugger) anyway didn't they used to hang corpses to
yardarms. I thought so, He's not a corpse yet but
he's going to be if his Adam's apple doesn’t stop
smacking him in the kisser, Oh dear, I'm so slangy.
I just know I'll never make a teacher. Besides, who
ever heard of a teacher with buck teeth? Don't
answer that question!
You know, mama, until today I have always been
puzzied about the men at State. Then it all became
clear to me. Myrtle (you know Madd Murtile, the Eta
Pi, cleared it all up with mathmeatics. The ratio
of men to women is three to one so when you invite
® man to a dance, you only get a third of a man, See
momma. (Come around here and you'd see!)
Oh my goodness, there's Magerkurth Malarkey. He's
a darling. He has the nicest eyes and once in a while
he opens them too. You can see right into his soul—
the heel! Gee, he’s cute. He's walking father fast,
Maybe he hasn't seen me? ..... Or maybe he has.
Love, Susie.
P.S. I think I'm in love. There's a new boy come
to school and I could have sworn he looked at me.
Oh, mama!
The Critic
It may be only a few notes of a song, or a well-
chosen word of description, or the face of a person
seen from the window o! moving bus, but the mind
picks up impressions which last sometime forever.
"They may be trivial, they may not seem important to
anyone else, yet to the observer, they stand out more
clearly than the song, or the poem, or the person as
a whole.
Here are a few such trivia from tho plays presented
in Page Hall Auditorium the night before Lincoln's
Birthday: the graceful motion of Barden’s hands; the
utter fatigue of Marston's expression; the twinkle in
Juckio Shaw's smile; the haunting strains of Valse
Triste; Studebaker's feline movement the horrid
color of the set for Woods’ play; the breeze and brash
of Goldstein; and the staccato tlow of Taylor's speech.
The play divected by Ellen Swarthout was the bet-
ter of the two productions. Unfortunately, ludicrous
mishaps marred the continuity of Janet Woods’ trag-
edy. The audience laughed at doors which closed as
if by magic, music which ceased before the radio was
snapped off, and a few more humorous happenings
which detracted immeasurably from the effect Miss
Wood had hoped to create.
Miss Swarthout's play moved smoothly and swiftly
to its fantastic end. The players were consistent in
their characterizations, Special note: Mary Stude-
baker's foy pantomome and Luke Zille’s excellent
lighting.

Varmette In Signal Corps
Recently the News received a letter from Leonard
J. Varmette, class of ‘41, who seemed to miss State
College quite a bit, labelling it as the place where he
spent the best four years of his life. Stationed at
Camp Manmouth, Len is in the Signal Corps, al-
though he claims the only signalling he has done so
far is sending an 8. O. S. at meals,
His work is with the administration; typing, filing,
sorting mail, etc. For this, he receives not $21, but the
munificent salary of $36 a month, having a 5th class
specialist rating. Len writes that a good State
girl spends that much in stockings, cosmetics, or knick-
knacks in a month, This seems a slight exaggeration
—especially with a State girl. If there is a girl with
that much extra money here, some smart working
boy should go steady with her and give up his job. . .
Varmeite claims that the work is long and often in-
cludes parts of Sunday. His day begins at 7, ending
anywhere from 8 to 11 in the evening, He asserts that
his branch of the service requires an I. Q. second only
to the Air Corp, which, incidentally, Varmette is now
attempting to transfer to.....
Praises State, Practice Teachers
Len praises State fluently all through the letter, but
the following will be especially interesting to many,
being read perhaps by the practice teachers with
mingled emotions.
“My four years of State have helped me very much
in the army. I had a chance to teach here but I
turned it down. The teaching set-up here is so sim-
ple and it is almost on a 6th grade level. Any one of
our Milne teachers is better than our teachers here."
Varmette gets the News every week from a friend
and reads it thoroughly. (Commercial) Like most of
Uncle Sam's men, he Is anxious to hear from his old
friends back in school, and promised faithfully to
answer immediately all letters received.
Here's wishing Leonard J. the best of luck in his
attempt to transfer to the Air Corp—the aristocracy
of the armed forces. At present he can be reached by
addressing:

Air Raid Directions
Editor's Note: The following directions are printed for general
knowledge. They will soon be posted in each room of the cues build-
ings to be read by the occupants in time of emergency. A conscious
effort on the part of the reader to familiarize himself with these
directions would help make the plans more efficient.
Dr. Louis Jones, Instructor in English, has just released the directions
that students must follow in-case of an air raid.
When the alarm of four long bells, repeated at intervals, sounds, the
students will rise from their seats and stand in a file near the door. The
classes on the third floor of each building, which has been designated as
the first room to go down the stairs, will move immediately, followed
by other classes in their prescribed order.
There must be absolute quiet and no shoving. The instructor in each
classroom is in charge and will go with his students to the safety room.
When the students reach the safety room, they should go to the far end
of the room, leaving as much space as possible for those behind them.
If feasible, the students would be least in the way and most comfortable
if they could sit on the floor, When in the hallways, a passage must be
left in the middle of the hall.
The all clear signal will be indicated by three short bells. The students
then must return to the classrooms in reverse order, maintaining quiet.

‘Collegiate Droop’ Offers
Threat to Careless Women
(AacP) Beware of “collegiate
droop!" ‘This new and malignant
epidemic which may become a nat-
onal menace, is strangely particu-
lar to college women. The symptoms:
are curved backs, rounded shoulders
and a general appearance which,
figuratively speaking, resembles a
question mark
This revelation was discovered in
an experiment by two former col-
lege women, who contrasted this
degeneration with the — “stylish
swagger" prevelent in coeds of 10
years ago
The results were obtained through
a study each year of incoming fresh-
men women, and what is worse 38%
of these co-eds had wt
combed to “droopiness.
Contrary to these unfortunate vic~
tims are those ready, willing, and
able few (only 17%) who manage to
retain the “stylish swagger” of 10
years ago.
Encouraging is the fact Uhat 41%,
although not as streamlined as they
might be, actually possess good pos-
ture. “Those days are not gone for-
ever,”

(Continued from page 1, column 5)
be compiled, allowing the student a
two-hour course failure.
Next week after consultation with
parents, faculty advisors, and the
dean, the freshmen will make the
decision. If an appreciable number
wish to undertake the new program,
a choice of either of two schedules
must be made—an eight-week sum-
mer program of six school days, or a
ten-week program of five school
days. Either one will provide the ten
credit hours needed.
Although Dr. Nelson voiced no
definite condemnation of the plan,
he did present definite argument of
opposition which he suggested for
consideration before the students
take any hasty action. His primary
objection was that of practicability
of economics. The additional fi-
nances needed for the summer term,
which would, according to an es-
timate made by the dean, amount to
$125, is too great a burden for the
families of most of State's students.
Furthermore, numerous _ students
employ the summer vacation as per-
jods in which they may accumulate
sufficient money for the subsequent
college year.
A second suggestion offered by the
dean, which is not tangible but must.
definitely be considered, is the
enormous nervous strain that would
be imposed upon the student. “Con-
trary to general opinion, this busi-
ness of going to college takes effort.”

After conducting panel discus-
sions in both Sophomore and Junior
Education 10 classes, the SEB com-
mittee, under the chairmanship of
June Haushalter, '42, will initiate a
program to acquaint the seniors
with the Student Employment
Bureau,
There will be a panel discussion
in the near future in which princi-
pals from the various schools will
participate in order to explain the
qualities a principal seeks in hiring
inexperienced teachers,
As an additional program a sec-
ond meeting of the seniors correct
procedures in applying for a job will
be discussed, Two committees will
be organized among the seniors to
plan this program. The first com-
mittee will investigate teaching re-
quirements such as personal ap-
pearance, ethics, and conduct in in-
terviews, The other committees will
study the correct writing of letters
of application. Students interested
in working on these committees are
asked to sign up in the SEB office
today or during the coming week.

To Meet Niagara
In Page Hall Gym Tonight
New York TripResults
In Losses To Pratt
And Brooklyn Poly
Eagle will be pitted against Eagle
tonight when State meets the Pur-
le Eagles of Niagara University on
e Page court,
‘Niagara's squad boasts nine vet-
erans, four of these have played
varsity ball for three years. Coach
Gallagher's Eagles are drawing near
to the end of a very successful
twenty-two game schedule and
seem headed for another Little
‘Three title in Western New York.
Niagara Powerful
State fans will remember two of
Niagara's latest victims, St. Law-
rence University and Clarkson Tech.
Last weekend these teams suc-
cumbed to the Purple Eagles by
scores of 50-30 and 56-37 respec-
tively. State has lost two games to
Clarkson and split a pair with St.
Lawrence this year.
‘The last time State played Ni-
agara was during the 1939-40 season
when State's Eagles won a thrilling
61-50 victory. Some of the boys who
played with the Niagara team in
that game will be back tonight.
Co-captains William Owens and
James Sheridan are two of these,
State Drops Two
The State basketeers made a dis-
astrous trip to the big city over the
past weekend, The team lost to
Brooklyn Poly on Friday night by a
score of 44 to 29 and repeated its
performance Saturday night by los-
ing to Pratt Institute, 68-48,
‘The Albany boys were unable to
accustom themselves to the baskets
and steadily fell behind the fast
Brooklyn team. Walsh, one of
Poly’s fastest men, led the scoring
with twelve points. Heffernan di-
rected the floor-play and contrib-
uted seven points for the winners,
Pratt Has Height
Pratt's helght advantage and su-
perlor physical condition won the
game Saturday. The scores at the
ends of the quarters tell almost the
whole story. At the. quarter it was
12-12, at the half it was 23-23, at
the three-quarter mark it was 40-
35, at the final whistle it was 58-48.
Brauner’s 14 points, Feeney'’s 10
points, and Marsland’s 9 points led
the State attack.

has developed into a battle between
College House and Potter Club.
Both squads are tied for top posi-
tion, at this writing, with eight wins
against a lone defeat.
‘Last week Sigma Lambda Sigma
was removed from a_ probable
chance at first position when it
dropped a close 16-15 decision to
the unpredictable Ramblers, Hal
Singer swished in a neat two pointer
with thirty seconds remaining, to
give the commuters the lead and
the game,
Potter Swamps TM
Potter Club walloped the Thomas

column and go into a tle for first
place with College House,
After being held back for the first
quarter, the EEP lads opened up an
unrelenting attack which culmi-
nated with the final whistle. The
score was 48-10, Ed Reed topped

In contrast to this one-sided
game, the KDR-SLS contest was a
close affair throughout. Sigma
Lambda Sigma eked out a win when
Jordan dropped in a basket in the
last fifteen seconds. Fred Beyer
contributed 14 points to the lost
cause of the Lake Street squad.
With the exception of Potter Club
moving up to tie College House for

the other teams of the loop re-

the previous week.
Lucky Varsity Men Visit
‘Aunt Glenda’ In New York
“Shake the hand that shook
the hand of Glenda Farrell—
only a quarter.”
Investigation at the source of
the following statement reveal-
ed how some of the varsity bas-
ketball team spent their spare
time in the City,
Glenda Farrell, who is star-
ring in the current play “Sep-
arate Rooms” is the aunt of Co-
captain Hank Brauner. So she
gives Hank a few passes. So
Hank hands them out. So the
boys are now capitalizing on
their visit with “Aunt Glenda”
at her apartment!
Frosh Lose Tilt
In Final Period
Meet Albany Academy
On Home Court Tonight
The scarlet tanagers missed their
second win of the season by one
point as Delhi edged out a 40-39
victory over them last Friday. Only
when the final whistle blew was the
outcome of the game decided,
Starting out at a fast pace, the
Frosh gained an edge over the Ag-
gies in the opening minutes of the
game. Delhi's shift from a zone to
a man to man defense slowed down
the tanagers’ offense, giving Delhi
a 11-9 lead at the end of the first
period.
The second stanza found the
yearlings hitting the hoops again as
they went out in front by a 21-20
score, Once more the Aggies came
back to lead 31-28 at the end of the
third quarter.
With ten seconds to play in the
game, Delhi leading 39-38, a dou-
ble foul was called on Buck Hip-
pick and Jack McArdle. Since this
foul put Hippick out of the game,
Frank Woodworth came in to shoot
Buck's foul. Woodworth's sinking
of this foul shot tied the score at
39 all, but McArdle made his, also,
putting Delhi out in front again.
With not enough time for the
Frosh to score again this score, 40-
39, decided the game.
Tonight at 7 P. M. the Frosh hope
to avenge their previous loss to Al-
bany Academy, With the advan-
tage of being on their home court
the Frosh should provide Academy
very stiff competition tonight if
they play the fast brand of basket-
ball they displayed a week ago.

Dorm A Takes Top Spot;
As Newman Hall Loses
Dorm A established themselves in
first place Wednesday afternoon
when they defeated Newman Hall
17-14. Domann, LaSalle, and Herd-
man made an unbeatable trio de-
spite the ample guarding of the
Newman Hall six. Newman made
the ending spectacular by two quick
baskets, but Dorm A soon recovered.
Moreland tromped over the Com-
muter B team 14-3 to make up for
their last week's defeat. The Com-
muters lacked teamwork and co-
operation. Commuters A forfeited
to Junipers Wednesday afternoon.
Wednesday night in an exciting
double header, Dorm B beat the
Cooper House team 15-9, and Dorm
“© whipped North-Western 22-16.
Dorm B had a definite edge on the
Cooper House girls because of their
accurate shots, Cooper plays a very
fast, spectacular game, but their
shots were not accurate, Rock-
castle, the only senior on the Dorm
B team, made eight of the 15 points,
and formed the backbone of the
team.
‘The Dorm C-North-Western game
ran for a four minute overtime
period to decide the winner. The
girls played hard and exciting for 30
minutes,
Gamma Kap Takes Lead
In WAA Bowling Loop
With its victory over a strong
Newman Hall team last Tuesday,
Gamma Kappa Phi took the lead
once more in the WAA Bowl-
ing League. This is the second time
that the top position in the league
has been held by Gamma Kappa.
The match was a tie, with Gamma
Kappa and Newman each taking
two points.
Newman Hall, Psi Gamma, and
Junipers are in a three-way tie for
second place, as a result of Juni-
pers victory over Phi Delta last
‘Tuesday and Thursday.
‘CARL MITCHELL
Tonight’s resumption of combat.
with Niagara University marks the
peak in the present season of well-
known opponents.
The game this evening brings
back memories of the hard-fought
contest just two years ago. Many of
the present senior and junior class
sports fans will recall how a decid-
edly underdog State squad suddenly
pulled out the throttle and steamed
ahead in the closing seconds of the
game. The score was 51-50 in our
favor as the final whistle blew. At
almost the same instant, a Niagara
forward let fly with a long-range
throw that found its mark with
deadly accuracy—but a split second
too late.
So hard hit were the representa-
tives of mightly Niagara that tears
were shed by members of the team.
Tears from athletes. Tears con-
vincingly indicative of the fine spirit
of play instilled in veteran players.
Although the occasion was not a
happy one for the visitors, it never-
theless gladdened our hearts to be-
hold the evidence displayed by
sincere hard-scrapping lads who
held victory as a cherished goal.
We would suggest that every fan
who wants to see a major college
tilt .attend tonight’s tournament.
It's true that we have not had too
successful a season this year, But
the breaks just haven’t been in
State’s favor.
Whether State wins or loses this
game is sure to provide the maxi-
mum in speed and thrills. State
realizes that it is at a disadvantage
from the start but that has never
deterred the local athletes from
fighting with all the stamina they
could muster. Perhaps if State re-
peats with another win we can say,
“Remember Niagara Falls!"

Budget Must Take
Ten Per Cent Cut
Finance Board Reports
Paid Taxes 100 Short
The impending budget cut has
finally arrived. Different extra-cur-
ricular organizations have just been
notified by Robert Bartman, 43,
member of the Finance Board, as to
the nature and the extent of their
cut.
The budget cut was necessitated
by the fact that this year’s budget
was based on the sale of 1000 student
tax tickets, and that only 900 or so
tax tickets were actually sold. At
the present time there are only 960
students, including graduates, en-
rolled in the college, as compared
to the 1025 enrolled in September.
This decrease entailed the payment
of $455 to the 65 students leaving
school who had already bought their
student tax
Loomed Since September
The cut has loomed since early
in September when it was seen that
a 100% sale of tax tickets could not
Possibly be expected. The cut, made
just recently, was made on a pro
rata basis, that is, according to the
percent of the total amount of
money that each activity receives
from the whole; the cut this time
amounts to about at 10% decrease
from the appropriation in the bud-
get made out and passed in one of
last year’s assemblies,
Although the infirmary fund and
the Pedagogue received cuts, this
does not tell the whole story; both
of these organizations obtain a cer-
tain amount of money from each
tax ticket sold; the infirmary fund
receives $3 from every tax ticket
and the Pedagogue $1
Some Can Take No Cut
Appropriations of a few of the
organizations, such as the Freshmen
Handbook, could not be reduced be-
cause the money had already been
spent
Following are the cuts that each
organization had to take:
M.A.A. $279.40
Srare Coutrar News 230.00
Debate Council 42.00

Five-Foot-Two Plus Cigar Equals Red
by Bernard Skolsky
‘The Junior Prom tonight will
have soft lights, and sweet music
by Don Redman and his orchestra.
An orchestra leader who tops five
feet by a very few inches, who
smokes cigars perpetually, and who
brings forth music in the modern
manner that's Don Redman
Because Redman is noted for his
cigar-smoking, many people have
assumed that his thems, "Chant of
the Weed," his own composition, is
dedicated to tobacco. In truth, the
“Weed” is “marihuana,” a common
weed having a narcotic effect on
the smoker. Redman's interest in
rs,’ ever, goes no further
than expressing the dreams they in-
duce in music. He'll stick to cigars.
Redman attended Storer College
and the Detroit and Boston Con-
servatories of Music. His unique
arrangements when he was associ-
ated with Fletcher Henderson and
McKenney's Cotton Pickers, placed
those bands in the front rank of
dance bands.
DON REDMAN
Before Don Redman leads his
musid of one of
his he i Bements, he
always has them play a slower tune
as a “warm up.” Before his mon
can go on the stage or begin a
hroadeast, they must tune their in-
struments, and this tuning process
has almost assumed the proportions
of 4 ritual. Don sits at the piano,
strikes an "A," and as each man
files by, he matches the leader's
note on his own instrument,
Redman is one of the few band
leaders who can substitute at a
moment's notice for any one of his
musicians. He plays every instru-
ment except the banjo. Probably by
now, he plays the banjo too, ‘The
saxophone is his favorite instru-
ment and the one he usually plays
when conducting his orchestra.
And here's a prediction; Howie
Lynch, that expert in picking bands,
says that Redman is on his way up
and that he will become another
Arle Shaw or Tommy Reynolds,
both of whom have played at for-
mer State dances,

Luncheon Will Wind Up Festivities
Junior Prom, with all its regal
sparkle and splendor, is slated for
tonight at the Aurania Club where
Don Redman and his orchestra,
opening to the strains of Chant of
the Weed, will play from 10 P. M. to
2A, M. Bids were lowered this year
to $2.75 and will be on sale this
afternoon in the lower hall, of
Traper until 4 P. M. and at the
Aurania Club tonight, According
to Mildred Mattice, general chair-
man, the sale of bids has proceeded
very successfully,
“Junior Week" is no longer as
important as it was once. Formerly,
on the first week of second semes-
ter, the Junior class took charge
of college activities, beginning with
the chapel services on Wednesday.
This was followed by a Thursday
reception to which all students were
invited, but was later replaced by a
“Tea Dance.” The weekend was
completed by a Prom on Friday and
& Banquet Saturday afternoon,
Recalls World War I
During the years of World War I,
patriotic themes and “Eatless Ban-
quets” were the order of the day,
“The Junior Banquet,” declared the
1918 News, “owing to the exigencies
of the times, confined its menu to
ice cream and cake, There were no
limitations set upon the fun, how-
ever.” The situation is somewhat
similar today. Because of the war
emergency, the Junior Tea was
dropped trom the program,
This year at the stroke of midnight,
Queen Duff (Marion Dufty, '42) will
place the coveted crown on the head
of her successor, ‘Ihe five candi-
dates, nominated by the Junior
class two weeks ago, are: Dorothy
Cox, Shirley Hastman, Mildred Mat-
tice, June Melville, and Marilynn
Rich,
Winding up the weekend is the
Junior Luncheon, to be held at
Jack's Restaurant, Saturday, Febru-
ary 21, The price is $.85 and each
Junior may bring an outside guest.
The speaker is Dr, Shields Mac-
Ilwaine, Professor of English. Jun-
iors may sign up at the bid table
in the lower hall of Draper.
