Mount Your Hobby Horse Now
Under the auspices of the Junior Guides,
various hobby groups are being started in
the college.
The first of these, a dancing group, is
easily the most important. Teachers, beside being expected to pore through volumes, will also be required to attend the
Podunk High School Junior Prom, or, as
is far from conjectural, will be asked to
start a dancing class. Then, too, knowing
how to dance tends to make one more apt
to like parties and mingling with people.
We view with genuine appreciation the provision for the shy aspirants to terpsichorean
perfection.
The proposed orchestra and photography
clubs will probably meet with harder sledding than the dancing club. They will demand a great deal of time, that dimension
far from infinite for the average State college student,
The greatest difficulty to be seen is that
the leaders of these activities, the Junior
Guides, are undoubtedly one of the busiest
groups of people in the school. For their
benefit and for the benefit of the clubs
sponsored the leaders of these clubs should
be people with ample time to devote to
what should be their most well-loved hobby.
Good Cheer
Tomorrow night State will meet its traditional foe. The preceding sentence sounds
very matter-of-fact and ordinary. However,
he who has seen some of the games that
State has played against R, P. I. can easily
remember the near-riots that result when
these two teams meet and the contagious,
reverberating cheers that arise spontaneously from the State cheering section.
The points are these. First, this year's
cheering has been done largely by (lie cheer
leaders, Second, that loud, confident cheers
aid the players during their game is irrefragable. Third, tomorrow's game is on
R, P. l.'s court where our opponents have a
willing and cooperative cheering audience.

games. To further our fun we've
evolved a little pleasantry for
future dates, and the following
rules apply. First: each sorority

which to herd the sheep. The
object of the game is to see
which of the 14 groups can garner the most frosh into their
pen. Then, as the music blares,
the girls are to each grab a
frosh, and do the 'palsy walk.'

This will end all stiletto stares
and peace will reign if the ropes

Well, folks, here we are again with
the dope on one of the most talked
about people in college: the Statesman. At the basketball game Saturday p. m. he wore a plaid sliirt and a

so did hundreds of others. With
information like that, everyone
should know who we are. Oh yeah!

It took Fred quite a while to settle

The most heard question in and

Again State college's relatively untried interfraternity council has shown itself worthy. As was to be
expected fraternity rushing this year was carried off
with more ease and less scramble than even last year's
highly successful inauguration of the system.
* * * * *
Present freshmen and sophomores are well unacquainted with the methods that preceded their time.
No longer can there be any room for the complaints
that freshmen men are herded into an organization
by fair means or foul, before they are capable of Judging for themselves what college is all about.
And no longer is it necessary for the fraternities
to bid frosh before they get to know them as they
really are, thanks to delayed bidding and its adequate
protection from first impressions.
And the social advantages of the organization are
not to be overlooked. Last year's formal was a highlight of the season, and this year the group plans no
exception.
But aside from that, the future holds even more
interesting prospects. What with a third fraternity
already recognized on the campus, and, if we may
credit rumor, a fourth to come, there will be a still
more urgent need for unity among the groups—a unity
expressed ideally by the present organization.

Let's just remember that the fraternities (criticize
them if you will) do serve a definite need at college.

The Constitutional convention assembly conducted a heated discussion on the unicameral legislature
on Tuesday, December 7, at 3:30
o'clock in room 206 of Draper hall.
The report of the hearing committee, headed by Sally Whelan, '38, on
unicameralism provoked so much
interest and debate that final decision was postponed until the next
meeting of the assembly. Until that
time, a great deal of argument, both
pro and con, will be heard by the assembly.
A committee discussing "Irresponsible Labor Groups," headed by
Betty Hayford, '39, conducted a public hearing at noon Tuesday. Mr.
Adam A. Walker, professor of economics and sociology, was requested
by the group to give his opinion in
regard to labor groups. Professor
Walker, in his speech, pointed out
the fact that the formation of labor
organizations does not mean that
they are irresponsible.
