Support Red Cross
Sponsored by Myskania, the annual Red
Cross drive will be under way in State
College on November 22 and 23.
The Red Cross needs no explanation,
apology or proof of its benefits to be put
before the public. This same public has
seen the Red Cross in the headlines innumerable times, working in regions from which
other beings fled in terror. As soon as disaster hits a region, before the victims have
time to realize their danger and loss, this
unselfish organization is on the scene to
provide food, shelter, and comfort and to
alleviate suffering.
Naturally, an organization of this sort
has to depend upon the unselfish contributions from those who wish to help, many of
these people realizing that they may be
prospective users of this same fund. State
college, realizing the none too plentiful
means of its students is setting the minimum at ten cents. During the drive show
your humaneness by exhibiting either ten
cents or a button.
On Cross Country
With the basketball season almost upon
us, it seems a fitting time to say something
about cross country. From a minor extraclass sport existing only for the few who
were interested in running against their
own records, it has grown in power and
prestige until it may now he said to be one
of State's major sports.
The record of last year's and this past
season's successes is sufficient evidence to
establish the validity of the claim. The
planned schedule for next year will establish the sport in State college and State
college in the sports world. One of the
teams asking for a meet is Colgate; other
colleges are becoming interested. With
most of the excellent and experienced runners underclassmen, next year's team
should be strong. The best of luck to you,
State harriers.
Personal Viewpoints
-Commentst a terWe have heard in the past rumbles of rebellion
against the current curriculum in State college.
Through carrying out what Dr. Brubacher's letter suggested last week, these critics have a chance to express
their opinion and they may constructively improve the
organization of the school.
Of course, it goes without saying that we are not
dealing in personalities but in the construction of a
schedule of activities that will adequately prepare
State's students for the Job of teaching. Can you suggest a method which will improve and modernize the
system as it proves inadequate? Have you any ideas
on how to improve the practice teaching and methods
courses in State so they would prepare you to face
Teaching's tripping tilts? Heated bull sessions have
heard many "redicals" denounce destructively the
whole order. What we'd like to know is whether or
not this is the usual amount of hot air or rather we
do have a few 'thinkers' rather than hot 'alrtists'
about our college.
A problem of any college, we have always felt, is
the fact that we do lose touch with the outside world.
We become too engrossed in our petty problems such as:
who are we going to take to prom?; what of our petty
politics?; and in our curriculum we often feel that we
study a subject just for the mark at the end of the
semester rather than for the practical side of it. We
believe that at least the curriculum should be an approach to real life and though we feel that at present
we have no constructive ideas, at least we can have
some by April, and we feel sure that the members of
this student body, with their formal training of education courses and the like, should be able to present
some practical suggestions. This is your school and
you'll always have to point to it as such; are you going
to point to it with pride as a progressive institution or
what? The cards are in your hand, it's your deal, the
chips are showing, you can no longer bluff, you've got
to put up or shut up
And now thanks for Thanksgiving. It comes at
Just the right time—when your nerves are beginning
to become coffeeish and you're beginning to lose your
perspective. Work, either at studies or on frittering
time away has caused most of us to become exhausted
and droopy so that when the old twelve o'clock bell
rings next Wednesday we're going to feel as happy as
the Commons crowd always seems to be. We advise a
nice little rest from the tedium of the school day and
we know you'll just rush back with a Postumlike
bounce. We are badly in need of sleep ourselves and
intend to spend the entire time upon two subjects,
gourging ourselves with food and sleeping all day the
rest of the time. We'll be relieved as the ventilators
after Mascot hunt when we get that needed sleep.
Another thing that we're afraid of is that the
student body may be losing interest in the Constitutional assembly. It really has been stressed a lot but
we think the main trouble is too much time being spent
on trivia and not enough speed towards the ultimate
ends- of the assembly. We do not feel that it is Leonard
Friedlander's fault but rather do we believe that he
has not received the cooperation which he should be
able to expect. At their last meeting we felt there was
a little too much quibbling about technicalities. Now,
this may be very Interesting to our parlimentarians—
but to us ordinary mortals it is a trifle boring. We'd
like to see this thing go over with a bang and not up
with one. For these reasons we'd like to suggest that
the students give Len a little more cooperation and
that people who are not interested in the thing at all,
except for their own personal prestige, or to develop
their art of argumentation, get out—scram. We'd like
to suggest that now that the ground work is complete
that the matters of interest to State students be
brought up in the assembly and the dull and dry committee work be left to the committee. We are all for
you and we believe with the right typo of publicity
you'll have something there, but for heaven's sakes,
make it interesting to us morons.
And as tills column seems to be devoted mostly to
union and organization, inseparable—we'll continue in
the same vein. What ever happened to the idea of
All-State dances. We went to one last spring and had
as much fun as a monkey at a county fair. It was
swell, no kidding, and why no more? It was an inexpensive way to come into contact with the whole
college as one usually only does at formal and costly
dances. We had a fair orchestra and the crowd was
out to have a good time and had it and It was not
the drain on the boy's pocketbook that even a movie
date would exceed. We'd truthfully like to see more
times when the fellows could drag their latest sleeploser to an inexpensive social function which would aid
in uniting the college, We hope you aren't asleep now,
but if you are remember that Thanksgiving is right
around the precipice,

THE MAN OF STATE
Tuesday evening's plays were received by another large audience.
We are glad to see that the plays
are being so well-attended, for the
class is continuing to do a great
many worthwhile things.
Miss
Furey's play was handicapped by an
unfortunate
technical
difficulty,
which, we later learned, could not
have been foreseen or avoided; but
in spite of this, the clever comedy
lines got over to an enthusiastic audience.
Miss Hayford was very well cast
and made the character she portrayed a convincing one. Mr
Walsh acted a bit too much on the
college-boy type, but he had some
very good spots, especially in the
last scene.
Too much of the play, however,
was played far up stage with the
actors hidden by furniture. Many
stage pictures, too, were confused.
Miss Walsh had to play most of her
best lines up-stage. She displayed,
however, a very appealing stage
presence. We should like to see
more of her work.
We felt that the set for that type
play might have been more interesting. And, please, costme committee,

To Conduct Formal Dance
"Dutch Treat"Dating
Becomes College Issue
by David Mlnsberg
<
Your inquiring reporter sits down
to write with a smirk on his face—
and can you blame him—it was a
very pleasant job he chose; in toto,
interviewing and hounding all the
beauties at State college. As usual
we started on the freshmen. We
accosted Ginny McDermott in the
hall and she seemed not to resent
it so we proceeded with this question, "Do you favor 'dutch treats' on
a date, that is each party paying his
own expenses?" "What! definitely
not!" She stamped her foot indignantly, "Do you think I'm going to
pay a fellow to take me out?" Cowed, we quietly sneaked off into a
corner for a half-hour until we regained our bravado, and then deckled that the mens' viewpoint would
be more welcome.
I favor them, because I'm liable to
make myself too popular on the
campus." Our other pulchritudinous
assay was Muriel Goldberg. She,
with that Myskanial attitude, answered, "Is this another case where
it's the woman who pays?" John
O'Brien summed up the thought of
the male student body in his concise
statement, "If she's willing why I
won't try hard to stop her."
Remember this discussion the next
time you go out on a date, and see
if you can't make some practical
use of these suggestions.
On Saturday evening, December 4,
"The Junipers" and the "Junipers
Juniors" will conduct their first annual Co-Operative Formal in the
Commons of State College. Dancing
will hold sway from 9:00 until 1:00
o'clock.
Representatives on the Grand
Committee for the event consists of
the following: Lillian Mosher, '38,
and Antoinette Mont, '38, from the
"Junipers;" Molly McClure, '38, and
Antoinette Don Vito, '38, from the
"Junipers Junior."
Members of the Program Committee are as follows: Louise Hessney,
Helen Provost, Elsie Winslow, sophomores, and Rose Lison, freshmen.
Arnold Ellerin, a young, Innocentlooking freshman, was the next victim. To the query Ellerin answered
gravely. "Once in a while it's all
right, but the fellow should not make
a habit of paying."
We left this wise frosh and approached two sophomores. "Toad"
Fairbanks, who was busy, answered
gruffly, "Custom being what it is,
and I having money In my pockets,
I'll prefer to pay the way." Approaching Doris Shultes with precaution (remembering our experience
with that freshman) we received a
more verbose reply: "If the fellow
and girl go around for a long time,
then it's different. Besides girls as
a rule don't have money, and the
fellows work, so . . . "
The Juniors were more solidified
in their opinion. Marion Minst said,
"If the fellow brings it up, he should
pay." Dee Jesse exclaimed, "It's
a terrible idea. I'd rather stay
home." Eddie Cassavant said, with
mature sagacity, "In an informal
date, it's all right but it would be
embarrassing in a formal date."
Representing the junior men is Joe
Wells. We cornered him and he
finally gave this off, "I wouldn't
like it. I'd feel kinda foolish proposing the idea of paying to her."
It was among the seniors, however,
that we found the most diversified
comment. Millie Nightingale replied, "It's not a bad idea in a way;
but let me go no farther than to say
that I will not cater to such an idea
under any circumstances."
Paul
Dittman confined himself to the
brief remark, "Yes, a great Idea—If
she's a rich widow." Our Campus
Queen, in one of her more condescending moods, retorted to our query
in this wise, "I'm afraid to say that

At the senior and graduate meeting conducted last Tuesday by the

of the meeting was revealed to be
the formation of committees to study

These topics are: personal interviews

hunting.
At the Appointment Bureau office

in the cafeteria Tuesday night.
Past presidents were much in
evidence, as President Mollcnkopf introduced assistant professor William Kennedy, who was
the first president of the club
when it was organized in 1912,
and Mrs. Kennedy of the class
of 1914; Miss Gladys Crodge,
1922-23; Clyde Slocum, 1928, and
Miss Irma Melthouse, 1931. William Fullagar, '36, and Ray Fisk,
'37, were expected, but were evidently lost on the way. Professor
Barnard S. Bronson and other
members of the chemistry department were also present.
After what consensus of opinion indicates was one of the
most satisfying meals, (unlimited ice cream), in the history of
cafeteria banquets, the club adjourned to room 250, where a
horde of neophytes were initiated into membership, upon presentation of skits for the edification of their elders. One eager
aspirant was introduced to H20
through the medium of a funnel,
while President Mollenkopf and
the faculty came in for unexpected ribbings.
