ISSUE EDITOR IN MEMORIAM Rot and Responsibility portunities to hear about international affairs at meetings sponsored by the various clubs but such gatherings are only lightly sprinkled with our students. No one understands all about his field, but we could make an attempt to know about this silly space called the world. We hope the next time that someone makes this statement of ignorance that a wisecracker shouts "Why don't you learn?" As Gumaer said, "an uninformed chemist is not exactly a chemist, hut an uninformed teacher is still a teacher, not for better but for worse," Men s Housing Problem State college needs a men's dormitory sadly. This year with the influx of men the freshmen were scattered all over town in private homes. The group houses arc not adequate to lodge the 100 men now entering yearly, The fraternities are forbidden to accommodate men during their first year at State. The men helter skeltered all over Albany have no chance to overcome their 'homesickness' through the; formation of new friendships and during the first year they lose many of the advantages that a common dormitory would insure. The only way that this can be accomplished is for the seniors to pledge to the Dorm drive and do their part to improve their Alma Mater. Book of the Week' Life in the Dust Bowl A Prayer for Tomorrow by J. Hyatt Downing, G. P. Putnam's Sons, New York, 1938, 342 pages. (On sale in the co-op,/ A Prayer for Tomorrow, by J. Hyatt Downing, is far from arid, although it is a tale of the dust bowl and its people. An adolescent boy, Lynn McVeigh, growing into manhood, making friends and influencing people, making enemies and being Influenced by people, is the hero of this literary set-to. The characters are poorly lighted creatures, with Lynn McVeigh unci his father, John McVeigh, being the only ones not somewhat in the shadows, as far as the reader is concerned. The story traces the great race for the rich pasture lands by Hie agriculturists. They occupy the land, plow it, and prosper on a bumper crop for a year or two. Prosperity causes them to go In debt for more land unci more tools so that when a dry year hits them they are heavily Indebted. Still, (oufidence reigns, but when another dry year hits them the bunk fails, and most of the people that Lynn knew go down to defeat—suicide, disgrace, poverty. Tins story reminded us a little of the old Bucheller stories. It is packed with action of many characters, and In spite of the present trend the author does not complete the biography of each one but chops them when their influence on Lynn is ended. This is manna to those of us who would rather read 300 pages and know one person well, than read 1200 and have only a Jumble of Information about u mammoth group of characters. We recommend this to all readers who like a lively tale well written and not overweighty or too lengthy. Personal Viewpoints Statesman We started Personal Viewpoints with the idea of making it a Winchellion of a column. Progressing under the strain of a weekly performance we feel at times it has become more or less a space filler. Sophego, with its fresh slant, snapped us out of our lethargy and we greet the spring with new enthusiasm. * * * • We would like to suggest to the faculty of State college that they consider extending the girls' late permission one half hour after formal dances. State has had good bands and to get them has had to pay for them. The students who attend have to spend between three and four dollars just for bids to the shebang. State's students have little money to spare and to receive value in full they stay right through the last dance. This leaves very little time for the enthusiasts to gather r e freshments and dash home. By extending this time limit one half hour the flurry and rush will be appeased and the State students will enjoy themselves more. We realize that when the girls had this privilege it was sadly abused, but we believe, however, that 'statents' have adopted a more wholesome attitude toward such regulations and would be saner in their uses of extra freedom. We wish the faculty would seriously consider this proposal because we realize it should not be acted on too lightly. EGO After all, everyone's happy to be back in school again, isn't he? (Attention, Mr. Hardy.) Lots of people's vacations ended in a whirl of excitement, romantic and otherwise, but lots and lots of people had lots of crabbing to do because of the weary hours of the recess. That lets the Statesman out, since he spent the vacation "checking up." Saddest story: Gaffney, having suffered the lonely hours to the end of human endurance, left the home town , . . just in time to miss visitors: Crounse and Fogarty. The most exciting thing Squook did was to visit Lloyd Kelly. Well, Parrott? Gaylord acquired that tempting tan as a ten-day farmer. He wrote her three hours after she left that Wednesday. He got eight letters. She was teased by her own sister and Schonenberg Sunday afternoon and Eckeled by the man in question Sunday night.

Catalogue Lists Curriculum Changes Various minor changes have been made in the State college catalogue for the year 1938-39, with outstanding changes mainly In tlie Physics department. In the Physics department, courses 2, 3, 4, and 5 have been omitted, and several others substituted. Tlie new ones are: 11, Problems in General Physics; 12, Mechanics and Properties of Matter; 13, Heat, Sound and Light; 14, Magnetism and Electricity; IS, Historical Development ol Physics; hi, Electricity; 21, General Physics; and 22A, Introduction to Physical Science. Consequently due to these revisions, alterations have been made In l he major and minor requirements. The classification ol methods courses has been clarified.

Meeting Tomorrow four State students will leave for Poughkeepsie as delegates to the Middle Atlantic Regional conference of the National Student Federation of America to be conducted at Vassar college on Saturday and Sunday, May 7-8. The delegates are Richard Lonsdale, '39, N. S. F.

The delegates as a whole will be on the watch especially for information pertaining to the problem of maintaining honor In tests and examinations- and honor systems in other colleges. Another objective in going will be to find out election procedure nt, other colleges and their relative merits. STATE COLLEGE FOR TEACHERS, ALBANY, N. Freshmen Vainly Seek Hidden 'Popeye' Mascot The freshman hunt for the sophomore mascot started Monday night. Each succeeding night thereafter the hunt has gained momentum. Begrimed and harassed freshmen could be seen wandering in a dizzy manner throughout the halls and alcoves of the buildings. Poor freshmen I Hunting hither and yon, seeking in vain the "Popeye" mascot that was hidden by the class of 1940, Popeye seems to evade the young freshmen. We extend our sympathy to the wearied members of Myskania who have to keep the "hunters" under their watchful eye. Some enterprising members have grown so tired that they are using a horsecar to carry them back and forth. However, no matter how tired the freshmen are, they have shown great rivalry spirit. Every night their youthful voices can be heard in the empty corridors of learning. But alas! the freshmen have not yet found the evasive mascot. Too bad!
