Senior Class Supports Drive
for Student Union Building
With over $6,000 pledged to the
Dorm fund, the class of 1939 is wind-
ing up its annual drive to secure
pledges for the erection of a Student
Union building.
J, Edmore Melanson, '39, chairman
has announced that May 16 ts to
be the closing date for the drive.
The drive was inaugurated by Dr.
John M., Sayles, principal of Milne
High, at an assembly program in
February.
This is the fifth year that the
senior classes have been pledging
money to a building to be used as a
combined men’s dorm and recreation |
center, In his speech to the as-
sembly, Dr, Sayles announced that
if this year's fund was sizeable,
plans would be drawn for the build- |
ing, and steps would be taken to
commence work on the construction.

form another unit in a proposed “all-

A new campaign idea was insti-
tuted this year to secure support
from seniors for this fund. Rather
than pledging $100, which has been
the customary amount in past years,
the seniors have been asked to make
the participation record of the class
of 1939 100 per cent. Pledges run
from $5 to $200, Although the first
installment of the pledge is not due
until February, 1940, some pledgers
have already completed payment in
full or in part,

Friday Assembly
Protests Budget
Slash by State
President Explains Revision
of Money Allotment
to State College
Dr, Abram R, Brubacher, presi-
dent, appeared before the student
body last Friday to disclose the pres
ent crisis in the State college budget
as affected by the proposed budget
now before the legislature of the
State of New York, Taking prece-
dent over all scheduled business, the
president pointed out the effect of
the 8'2") cut on both maintenance
and personnel and urged the stu-
dents to form protesting associations,
Dr. Robert Rienow, instructor in
social studies, supplemented the
president by stating that it was not
only the duty but the right of all
students to protest the budget
Explains Budget Cut
The president showed how the
proposed cut would mean the dis-
missal of at least twelve members
of the facully and a slash of $5,100
from the $60,000 maintenance fund,
With the smaller appropriation State
college would aceept only two hun-
dred freshmen out of nine hundred
applicants next year, Ab present
three hundred aecepted each
year, No transfer students would
be taken and the enrollment would
be reduced Lo less than one thousand
Acting immediately on Dr, Bru-
bacher's suggestion, John Edge,
president of the student association
culled a special meeting of the stu-
dents for o'clock to further
organize the protest drive and to
obliin more information on the
methods to be employed. Edge then
appointed Leonard Friedlander, ‘39,

The Crime of '39
(Dr, Robert Ricnow, instructor in social
studies, who appeared before the student uxsem-
bly lust Friday, has sent thix open letler to the
News to put all the facts before the student body.
It is hoped thal thix information will be used
by the students who contact their legislators
tonight.)
‘To the Editor of the Starx Cou. News:
We, the faculty, students and admin ration, of |
State college are dumbfounded. For without notice,
without discussion, and without open hearing the po-
litical forces of the state stand menacingly brandishing
their budget-cutting axes which threaten to dislodge
the supporting beams of our institution.
This is unprovoked aggression.
To defend their action the legislative leaders must
openly espouse one of the two charges against the |
New York State College for Teachers. It is not!
enough for them to advance against us under the
banner of tax reduction any more than the Hitler
thrusts can be justified by land-hunger. The choice
between less taxes and eflcient teacher training was
made when this institution was founded; it has been
repeated each year since 1844 and always the decision
of the people of New York has favored keeping and
even expanding the services we render. I repeat,
then, that the political leaders must specifically justify
our budget cut with one of Lwo reasons.

gone without a gymnasium, We have strained to
hear the lecture in crammed and impossible lecture

How important is this proposed reduction of eight
and one-half per cent in our State College budget?
How important is it for all of us to “get behind” our
president in his struggle to have this $36,000 rein-
stated in the budget? Why must we redouble our al-
ready effective campaign in order to make certain
that we cannot fail? Here's why:
We who have been studying at State for the past
four years know all too well that we are understaffed,
even nov. The ratio of students-to-faculty is one to
seventeen, whereas, under the proposed reduction the
ratio would be one to twenty-three, With almost no
exceptions, the faculty now are working to capacity,
some carrying as many as twenty hours of classes
| each week, (Students on the Dean's List are allowed
a maximum of eighteen hours, with special permis-
sion.) Picture the condition that would exist should |;
|
the budget reduction be effected.
For years, the News has been campaigning for
better conditions for studying, better lighting, more
equipment, special courses, and countless necessary
repairs. A reduction of $5,100 is to be made in our
maintenance fund under the proposed budget. It is
highly evident that next year any suggestion of repairs,
or the amelioration of conditions, would be “out of
the question" If $5,100 is “lopped off" the maintenance
fund.
For over « score of years, President Brubacher has
been fighting to place State among the highest rank-
ing colleges in the country. Last year the Regent's
survey gave us the first rating among teacher train-
ing colleges in the United States, and placed u
among the first three liberal arts colleges on the bas!
of our high standard of admission. Three weeks ago
n delegation of three university deans visited us with |
the purpose of findin out Just what a teacher's college |
should offer. State, according to the deans, is to be
used as the measuring stick In a survey of other |
teacher training instutions. This high rating is made
possible only through the fact that we have laboratory
facilities, brary materials, and particula an ade-
quate and efficient faculty. The dism: 1 of twelve
faculty members would prima facie mean a decline
in our educational rating
Tonight, we, the 1,200 Statesmen, will have our
last-chance opportunity to fight for the retention of
this vital $36,000. Spokesmen have been selected to
| represent us Co the legislators, letters have been sent
publicity has been mailed throughout the state, and
a great number of students have devoted many hours
of work to this campaign. Your work, Mr. Freshman,
Sophomore, Junior, Senior, is just beginning. We owe
it Lo our President, we owe it to ourselves, Lo voice
our disapproval to the legislature TONIGHT. Do
hot hesitate to let your representatives know that you
are opposed to this reduction
If you have done your part so far, we thank you,
and urge you to redouble your work. If you have been
unable to help, start NOW! Attend the assembly
mecting at eleven o'clock, “piteh in” and do- your
tunost, but most important, SEE YOUR LEGIS
LATOR AND OBJECT TO THE CUT:
YOU AT THE LEGISLATURE, ‘TONIGHT.
} THERE!
