I t is not so much their refusing the position as it is their failure to notify the Appointment Bureau of their desire not to teach in a small village, and their wasting the time and patience of the principal who certainly must wonder about the peculiar ways of State students. Teaching positions are not so over-abundant that one or two persons can afford to injure the reputation of the Appointment Bureau or play with the disposition of a principal to the ultimate downfall of both. Is not the fact that each placement is worth twolve hundred dollars to some individual sufficient cause for resentment toward those who have prevented a senior or graduate student from securing these positions, or given the principal sufficient reason for going elsewhere in the future? How old must one be before he (or she) is able to detormine in advance where he wants to go or what kind of position he desires? Common courtesy should bo exerted to prevent the Appointment Bureau from any repetition of this embarrassment or to keep a principal from losing time or temper over some temperamental senior or graduate who cannot wander far from the homestead or is unprepared to live in some secluded hamlet for a year or two while acquiring necessary experience. Do some people still exist who think the position must be made for them instead of making themselves fit I lie position? Member One of tho world's greatest story tellers and writers is no more. Hudyard Kipling, from whose pen flowed numberless poems, ballads, histories, essays and stories, has gone on to whatever rewards the heavens may offer this man that tho earth did not. Like any great man, his work was criticized because nf the basic philosophy on which his work was founded. But this alone is an indication of the hold his stories had on the minds of people. Though many of his works contained his empirical ideas, they also included other phases of human interest. His fame and popularity declined after the war, and what his eventual position in the history of tho world's literature will be rtmains for time alone to designate. Hut the world read his works and enjoyed them, and life has been more enjoyable because lie lived. 1936 Plssociated Gollefiide Press Distributor of BOOKS: Golle6iate Di6est Published every F r i d a y in tho college year by the Editorial Board representing the Student Association.

Albany, N. V. STATE'S GREEKS The annual mid-winter period of hopo and despair will climax two weeks of examinations as llftoon groups of (.(reck natives go forth to bring in recruits lo swell tho ranks. To the un-loukera it is a struggle between three years of experience and one seiuestur of innocence; to the participants it is an age of forced sweetness und mental anguish, The sorority system ul State is without doubl an absolute necessity to provide adequate housing for tho women students. As each group is solf-perpetuating and must support 11 house as pari uf its requirement to be classed in that group, il must secure new members to take up the burden. Hut, when il reaches the point of stereotyping one's friends for the re maindor of one's college career, and molding each into a definite typo, wo wonder if it. is worth the price. Friendships are made and broken then as at no other time, Time may heal but time can also bo too short. Approximately one hundred freshmen women will join some sorority next month. Ami in that group there invariably are a number who regret their decisions ten minutes after tho deadline. Ordinarily the cause is due to some narrow reason as lo why tho person signed a particular group as number one choice, Included in that group are such reasons as super salesmanship by some colorful individual, disliking some particular freshman who may be joining the sorority one really prefers, believing rumors without substantiating ov i deuce, liking one or two persons in some sorority but knowing little of the remainder of the group, or joining some Qrooll society entirely untitling for the null \ idmt 1 simply because a roommate or friend does. ' l i e who hesitates is lost' is an age old proverb which holds littlu water just now, Often this would be the solution to a difficult problem If observed. 11 eon be the escape which a puzzled freshman can use and still keep herself eligible for future rushing and selection of a sorority. There are probably lew freshmen women who have not yet decided which sorority lo loin If bid. How many, I hough, could give substantial reasons as to why hoi- choice Is one which will not bring her grief sooner or later. Sororities offer many useful benefits fellowship, entertainment, respectable living quarters, and scholastichelp. If o"e believes sho belongs to ami fits in her particular group, sho can do little better than lo cast her affiliation with that sorority, BUT if doubt pro vails, hesitate, A Prison Narrative as a Social Document.

There was variety in choice of play, in acting, characters, lighting, sets, and mood. Tho first play, admittedly difficult to present, succeeded in carrying over the footlights the atmosphere of the sideshow. Tho off-stuge noises wore audible, but not too obvious. Tho " mob " was excellent in action, and most convincing. Wo nominate Jeanne Lichenstein as tho most effective and consistent player. "Hop" was sufficiently sinister, Mine. Alpha sympathetic; in fact, all the people gave an honest portrayal of the characters they were representing. Tho second play seemed to suit the mood of tho audience very well. I t was unmistakably a farce, exaggerated but funny. Miss Smith was constrained as Dolores, but did an excellent job as make-up artist. Miss Wholnn and Miss Burlingham vie for acting honors both in and out of tho play. Both were excellent, contrasted beautifully in voice and gesture, and Miss Wholnn in particular had a nice sense of comedy. She got the very greatest meaning out of her lines. Mr. Hooney was too deafening as "Props". Vehemence and volume need not go hand in hand, John. The play went off very well; Hie wellplanned chaos was effective. Tho lighting in the lust play was extremely good, as were the set. and tho props. Miss Daniels did a thoroughly convincing bit of work as the timid earnest wife. She reacts quickly to tho other players, and her voice is very charming. Miss llnncr was unrecognizable in the blonde hair. Her costume and make-up were excellent and entirely ill keeping with the play's mood. Her spoaking voice was woll adapted to the pari, and she used her low tones to their best advantage. Mr. (llcasou turned in another good performance, though he seemed a tritlo more nervous than necessary during the first part of the play. His gestures were not varied enough, und seemed stiff and unnatural throughout. He carried Hie mood and the suspense very well in spite of Hint.

Lex Siltiicis ,/« Poloinl Dramatic and Arts Association Will Present Ruth Draper N e x t Wednesday Dramatic and Arts association will presont Ruth Draper in the auditorium of Pago hall next Wednesday night, February 5, according to Marjorie Wheaton, '3(3, president of the association. Miss Draper is not a monologist in tho accepted meaning of the word, nor is sho merely an actress. She is a combination of both, with the gift of being able to mnke her audiences actually see on the stage the characters which she evolves in their imaginations. Sho achieves astonishing effects simply. On an unset stage, Miss Draper creates an illusion of scenery and furniture merely by the great intelligence and understanding of her art. With a shawl, an atrocious hat, a scarf, a fan, she changes type as quickly as a chameleon. Contrary to the nsuul custom, Miss Draper does not write down her dialogue and learn her sketches; but evolves Hicm in her mind, and recalls them each lime they are played, so that they are never twice the same. A keen, vitally alive audience communicates itself to her, und new lines spring into being in response to understanding laughter or quick sympathy; sometimes a whole new scene is added spontaneously. Miss Draper recently returned to the stage after n retirement of several years, und is now on (our. She appeared at State college in 1030 under the sponsorship of the Dramatic and Arts association.

If she has a second and third choice, she also indicates that on the blank. At the same time, the sororities present to Dean Moreland's oflice a list of the freshmen whom they have deckled to bid. If a freshman is bid by the sorority of hor first choice, she automatically becomes eligible for membership. If she is not bid by the sorority of her first choice, b u t is bid by that of her second choice, she automatically becomes eligible for membership there. This is also true if she is not bid by the sorority of hor first and second choice, but is bid by the sorority of her third choice. At 5:00 o'clock on Monday, the president of each sorority will receive tho list of rushees that chose that sorority, Formnl bids will be sent to tho freshmen in Tuesday's morning mail.

" V o u probably d o n ' t till it r i g h t . " Filling a pen, or vacuum calisthenics, is a complex physical process requiring the skillful use of both hands and patience. Whether you have to lift a lover or press a plunger, do so carefully. The walls have been recently painted. After you complete the mechanical motions, d o n ' t take your pen out of the ink well immediately. Let it stay there a while. Knowledge like ink, flows into vacuums slowly. Furthermore, bankers tell us that, strange as it seems, there is a curious procedure to follow when endorsing a check. All checks arc to be endorsed in ink, on the reverse side, left hand end, and across the narrow part of the check. If you care to make the endorsement valid, sign your name exactly as it is on the check proper. The Co-op is no hank. It accommodates its customers by cashing checks for them. If you have a check to cash, please get it to tho Co-op well before 2:00 o'clock on week-days and 12:00 o'clock on Saturdays. Hanks, like tides, wait for no man. Operatic Society To Give "Pinafore" February 12, 13 (Continued from page 1, column 1) a general mixup are finally straightened out and everyone lives happily ever after.

The chorus includes: first sopranos, Uosclla Agostine, Mildred Shultes, Muriel Sonic, Barbara Clark, Elsie Ilildenbrandt, and Doris Stone, seniors; Mary Marchetta, Elizabeth Carmichael, Evelyn llamanu, Winifred Monroe, Alice Allard, juniors; Sophie Wolzok, Helen Moore, sophomores, and Catherine O'Brien, '30; altos and second sopranos, Regina Barrett, '30, I?uth llallock, Betty Studebaker, Alice Kemp, and Jane Smith, juniors; .Mary Pomponio and Sylvia. Kudon, sophomores; tenors, Charles Gaylord, '.'18, and James Spcnce, '30; basses, Alonzo Dumont, '37, and Leonard Freeman, '38. The male chorus was incomplete as the NEWS went to press. Admission will be free on receipt of student tax ticket. Student tickets are thirty-live cents and regular tickets fifty cents. G.A.A. FLASHES At the end of F r i d a y ' s basketball game between the juniors and sophomores, the spectators wore nearly as worn out as the players. When the second half started, the juniors were leading by a score of 14-8. Then Ethel Littie, '38, switched her position from left guard to center forward, and the final score was tied 22—22 The junior forwards, Isabel and Helen McGowan and Evelyn llamann, played a game of brilliant pass work with quick, sure shots. High scorers wore Miss Little, who tallied twelve points for her team, and Helen McGowan, who did likewise for the juniors. Wednesday marked the debut of the freshman team in interchiss games. The seniors were up to their usual form, and gave an exhibition of effective team work. The juniors and freshmen each play their second game in the interclass contests when they meet on the Page hall court at 4:10 o'clock this afternoon. A fast game should be expected. Both teams have probably profited from their former matches, and we can look for some trick plays and passes. Camp Johnston will be open the entire second week of exams. Any girls who feel the need to recuperate after the battle should sign up on the G.A.A. bulletin board.
