Regina, Queen of State's Lasses
Rules Prom Night Pageantry
Amid the 'ohs' and 'ahhhs' of the
Prom assemblage—the special sound
depending upon the sex of the noise
maker, Janet Dibble placed the
crown upon the head of her successor, Regina Murphy, queen of the
beauties of '39.
The court of pulchritude was the
sixth in the history of the school and
was by all comments one of the
most beautified with three brunettes
and one blonde acting as the attendants to her majesty.
Carolyn
Mattice was the sole blonde with
Chris Ades, Betty Hayford and Pearl
Sandberg composing the brunette
bevy for her cohorts.
With the stomping syncopation of
Claude Hopkins in march time the
crown passed from the light locks
of Janet to the darker tresses of
Regina.
The girl with the royal name easily
portrayed her part with regal grace
gowned for her coronation in white
crepe. Her court attendants were
fittingly fascinating in their gowns
of grey net (Pearl Sandberg); purple
chiffon (Chris Ades); white flowered
taffetta (Carolyn Mattice); rose
lame (Betty Hayford).
Miss Murphy who was elected by
her classmates, returned to the custom of wearing white which her
predecessor departed from last year
when Miss Dibble wore a gown of
black net.
This is enough to please the
women, for the men—all information
desired has been given in the local
newspapers and the remaining information can be found in the Directory.

Once again a senior class of State college takes
upon its shoulders the task of doing Its bit toward
Increasing the fund for residence halls. Property is
already owned by the Alumni association on which to
construct further buildings. The need now is for funds
with which to proceed with the actual construction
work.
State college vitally needs a men's dormitory—
especially inasmuch as next September will show a
total enrollment of four hundred men for the first
time In the history of the college. There is also a
growing need for a men's and women's athletic house
and a swimming pool.
The only way of guaranteeing any or all of these
needs is by the fulfillment of pledges by our alumni—
in whose ranks the present seniors will soon be.
So when you are approached by a drive captain,
do not smirk and pass off the subject too lightly or
quickly. Stop and consider I Since 1918 classes and
Individuals have pledged financial aid for something
from which they perhaps will never receive material
benefit. Why shouldn't we?

Discussion on the point system at State college will
again be opened today when the revision committee
submits its report in this morning's assembly. Remembering last year's arguments pro and con we
wonder what Is in store for us when Bill Mollenkopf
calls for comments from the student body. Already we
have het-d the expected rumblings of discord from
certain organizations and holders of major offices.
The purpose of the point system is to insure a
broad distribution of offices among the student body,
and to restrict any one person from holding more
offices than he Is capable of handling well.
The purpose of the revision committee is to see
that the number of points assigned to any one office
is a fair number as based upon the actual work and
the prestige connected with that office.
Students should keep these facts in mind when
they are tempted to bring up any argument during
the course of today's discussion. The revision committee admits that not every one will be in accord with
its findings. Data was gathered from the present
holder of each office and carefully compiled, but the
student must remember that the findings and final
report of the revision committee can only be accurate
to the extent that the submitted data was accurate.
Suggestion to the Administration
. From January third to April fourteenth
is a period of fourteen and a half weeks or
three and a half months. During this time
there is no rest period of any sort for the
students of State college. The two weeks
of examinations are anything but a vacation, especially for fieshmen women and
sorority girls whose formal rushing falls
the second weekend of examination time.
Then the second semester begins and continues without any let-up until Easter recess.
The NEWS, reflecting student opinion,
believes that some change in our present
recess schedule would be advantageous. If
the same plan for an Easter recess remains,
there should be about two days added to a
weekend to enable students to visit their
homes and relax, This "weekend" could
come some time in February, perhaps, and
it could be arranged to have Washington's
or Lincoln's birthday one of the two days
added.
The other plan has to do with the abolition of a two-week Easter vacation and the
institution of a spring recess. Many State
college students have discovered that our
vacation does not coincide with the spring
vacations of other colleges, and many of
us go home to find that all of our friends
from other schools have already had their
reunions in our home town and have returned to college.
Also, with the Easter recess coming as
late as it does this year, there is a comparatively brief time before final examinations.
The vacation does not divide the working
time evenly. To remedy these situations
the plan is for a spring recess followed by
a long "weekend" of about four days covering the Easter holidays.
Neither of the preceding plans necessarily involves an addition to the present
number of vacation days of the second semester. Both mean only the insertion of vacations into our schedules when we need
them most.

We also want to take this opportunity to congratulate the Women's Athletic association and the Men's
Athletic association on the success of last Saturday's
barn dance. A welcome Informal dance and a successful Innovation I State would do well to have more such
gatherings where students can relax from the steady
grind of studies and really "let loose."

Indian Legends
By Otto Howe
Legends of the Longhousc by Jesse E. Cornplanter,
edited by Dr. Harold W. Thompson, Professor of
English, State College, Albany, N. Y., J. P. Llppincott Co., N, Y., 210 pages.
(On Hale in the Co-opi
"The white people of America have, of late years,
admired the artistic craft of the Indian of the Southwest . . . Only a small number of white Americans,
however, have remembered the talents Inherent in the
remnant of the great eastern confederacy, the Iroquois."
Jesse E. Cornplanter, snipe tribe of the Senecas,
has set down as best he could in our language, the
myths and legends of his people. Cornplanter "has
worked hard In the hope that In this book some of
his readers may, through tho medium of a language
strange to him, find the feeling of what his stories
are like when they are told in tho Senaoa tongue."
One of the legends, related by Cornplanter Is tho
beginning of tho pussy-willow as a sign for spring.
Years ago rabbits had long bushy tails. A peculiar
habit of the rabbit Is his love of green loaves and
buds and his desire or love for running. This particular rabbit was running in tho snow and daring It
to snow harder. Tho rabbit finally becamo tired of
running and he looked around to find that the snow
was very deep and ho had to rest In tho crotch of a
willow troe. When tho rabbit woko up ho was surprised to find the snow all melted and tho grass was
green, The rabbit was stranded In tho tree and as
he was a coward at heart ho was afraid to climb down.
The rabbit finally lost his balance and fell out of tho
tree. As he fell his tall caught In the tree thus forming the first pussy willow which has since been the
first sign of spring,
This legend is typical of the Indian folklore which
has been collected in this one volume by Jesse Cornplanter,

February 19, 1938.
Dear Egomaniac:
Tradition,—backed by high officials—has stated that the
freshman class is too inexperienced and too poorly organized
to conduct social events. However, this year, the freshman
class with the cooperation of the
other classes is sponsoring an
All State dance. The purpose of
this dance is to buy that amplifying system for the 'vie' committee. Each class will have a
limited number of tickets for
sale at twenty-five cents each.
The active interest of all classes the altruistic purpose of the
dance, the low price, plus an insight into the capabilities of the
greenies' should be enough incentive to produce a real crowd.
The dance will be conducted
on Friday March 18, in the Commons with a good swing band
providing the musical background.
Before we go further, however, we wish to correct your
impression that we have been
sitting in the background waiting for someone to suggest this
action. This has been our first
opportunity to get a dance sanctioned. We would like to thank
you for raising interest in the
question and know that your
continued cooperation is going
to help put the dance over In
a big way.
Your friend,
Stan Smith,
President of class of '41
May we say thanks and cooperation Is guaranteed.

We always are so terribly engrossed in all those handsome
creatures who at noontimes
swarm around the gallery of the

faces observing us from the same
position since our earliest days

the newly formed intramural
bowling league gets under way
on the Rice Bowling Alleys
located on Western and Quail

above mentioned teams who
have fought together in Intramural basketball, now fight It
out separately.
At the same time on the other

by Bill Steel. '38.
Other games scheduled for

M. A. A. formed a league of sixteen teams composed of four
men. The manager is Frank

Senior Team Wins
Interclass Cup
Miller, High Scorer, Leads
Freshmen to Victory
In Rivalry Game
The seniors again displayed their
superiority in the interclass league
by defeating the Juniors 24-12 on
Saturday. Since each team could
produce only five players, a roving
center was used during the entire
game. Phyllis Jobson and Grace
Yorkey paved the way for the senior
victory by accounting for 10 points
apiece. Junior high scorers were
Betty Allen and Phyllis Arnold, who
each netted 4 points.
In an exciting contest featured by
hard playing, the freshman lassies
squeezed out a 20-19 victory over
the sophomores last Saturday In the
play-off of the rivalry series. Helen
Miller, consistent point-scorer for
the frosh, again led her team with
12 points. By virtue of this victory
the frosh captured the basketball
rivalry title, having won two of the
three games played,
Led by Ethel Little scoring 19
points, the seniors trounced the
frosh last Friday, 33-7, in a onesided fray.
Repeating their achievement of
last year, the class of '38 captured
the basketball trophy by winning the
greatest number of games in the Interclass competition which W. A. A.
sponsors each year.
