Freshman Quintet to Meet
with Trojan Yearlings
in Preliminaries
Tomorrow night a rivalry that began way back in 1916 will come to
a head again when Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute of Troy sends its
varsity squad against State on the
Engineer's new court.
The court rivalry between State
and R.P.I, did not run steadily
through the years for there was a
long break in basketball relations
between 1921 and 1935. However, It
runs just as strongly and deeply.
Separated by a mere few miles,
State and R.P.I, men have been at
dagger points over everything from
basketball to sorority dates.
Last year the squads met in two
bitter struggles. In the first, the
Engineers caught State on a hot
evening and succumbed to the tune
of 30-28. R.P.I, came to State for
the second encounter confident of
victory, because State had lost five
straight games. However, our squad
had a tremendous reversal of form
and swept the Trojans from the
court with a terrific barrage of
points that netted a total of fiftyseven counts to twenty-eight for
R.P.I.
U.P.I. Loses Veterans
Prom the outfit that dropped two

Ahlefeld have been taken by graduation. These two men will be sorely missed, but Coach Ed Donald has
six lettermen returning to form the
nucleus of this year's squad. Includefl among these players is Chris
Fassioli, a .speedy and reliable man
who will lead the Engineers on the
court. Fa/.ioli was a thorn in Slate's
side last year and is Lhe man to
watch tomorrow. Ludke, Preston,
Scholz, Henry, and Lomas complete
the list of Troy vets. The rest of
the squad will bo composed of Carman, Coleman, Knuobel, Lomas,
Mueller, Nadler, Nugent, Wicko,
Winkler, and Zirkuly. Seven of these
stalwarts have reached the six-loot
mark so that the squad will have

Rabbi Bernstein Today
Beginning Tonight
Today's assembly will feature
Rabbi Philip Bernstein, pastor
of the Temple B'rith Kodesh
in Rochester. He will speak to
the student body on the implications of peace for the student of
today.
Rabbi Bernstein is quite an
authority on current affairs and
is very prominent in Jewish circles in Rochester. Those students who attended the Silver
Bay conference last summer
heard him when he led a discussion group there.
Yesterday afternoon Rabbi
Bernstein addressed the Student
Christian association on "The
Jewish-Christian Heritage." The
round table discussion which followed proved very interesting
and educational.
In next week's assembly program the State college chorus
will present a selection of Christmas carols.

Five School Administrators
to Conduct Discussion
at Annual Parley
The second annual roundup of

tonight at 8:00 o'clock in the Com
mons of Hawley hall.
The roundup is a get-together
meeting of the forty undergraduate
members of the fraternity and the
various graduate members in the
capital district. Last year, this re
union featured a panel discussion
among five school officials. This was
so successful that a similar discussion has been planned for tonight's
program.
Five school administrators, all
Kappa Phi Kappa members, will discuss this question: "What should a
Kuppu Phi Kappa member know in
order to make his first year in the
teaching field a success?" The secondary school officials who are to
take part in this discuss! n follow:
Lu Verne Carr, principal, Red Hook
high school; Raymond Collins, principal, Wappinger Falls high school;
Harold French, district superintendent of schools, Loudonville; F.
Edward Thomson, principal, Berne
central school; and Clyde Slocuin,
principal, Cobleskill central school.
After these speakers have concluded,
the topic will be thrashed out In a
bull session.
During the meeting, copies of the
fraternity's recently prepared handbook will be distributed. This handbook outlines the purpose, history
and activity of Kappa Phi Kappa.
It was compiled by a committee under the supervision of Michael Wulko, '39. He was assisted by: George
Amyot and William Sivers, seniors,
Joseph Cuppiello, Herbert Frankel,
Stewart Smith, and Darwin Vun
Keureli, Juniors.

It seems t h a t the s t u d e n t association is not a p p r e ciative of the efforts of members of its body. If last
week's assembly is indicative of the way S t a t e students
conduct themselves at assembly programs, the Advanced Dramatics class should n o t prcduce any of its
plays before such a n inconsiderate audience, but, instead, should present t h e m before people who are a t
least cognizant of the work a n d effort t h a t goes into
these performances.
T h e least t h a t we could do was to be quiet and
give our best a t t e n t i o n to the actors who were striving
to put across a difficult play in spite of many adverse
circumstances. Do you think the talking and snickering in the assembly during the lines encouraged the
actors to give the best they h a d ? It h a d just the
opposite effect. It tended to discourage their performance because the students belittled their art. It
takes a long time, with much rehearsing, to r e m e m ber your lines, and, after that, a great deal of time
is spent acting out the play itself. It seems t h a t the
association should take a course on "How to behave
in company." •

t h a t business was a trifle too

for

Our "friends" thought they
had a novel idea when they decided to establish a "date bur e a u " at State.
They were

students are not so backward
as to be taken in by such a
"phoocy" idea; the students here
are socially minded enough to
secure dates for themselves w i t h out any intermediary party to
stimulate them.
Now to turn to something a bit
more serious. We were glad to
see t h a t State college has a t last
become interested in the refugee

of

Europe.
W h e n the student association
gave its consent to appoint a

the finest spirit of a democratic
institution—that is—the preservation of the ideas and ideals of

We are all interested in promoting the Christian spirit of peace

_PLAYGOF.lt.
Tlie play last Friday, was, to be
as kind as possible, mest unl'orunatc.
It has been presented here before,
and has been an astounding success.
For some reason, this was not tlie
case last week.
O n j reason was, of course, t h a t
the actors could not be heard, save
by a favored few in the first rows.
Tlie rest of the audience lost i n terest, and the rustle, and occasional
laughter—when the lines were far
from tlie comical—were only t h e
natural results.
As regards the acting, Miss C h r i s |ler, at her best, might have saved
I the play—but we have seen h e r
when she was far b : t t e r , Mr. D r y den seemed a bit wooden, a n d we
lost nearly all his lines. Miss Koonz,
on stage for a few minutes, w a s n ' t
just the wife we thought she should
be.
With the exception of the pillar,
which we understand was the work
of an outsider, the set was no more
like a cathedral than the m a n in t h e
moon.

ever such—why didn't someone t h i n k

they were adequate, but you m u s t
watch those floods t h a t walk over
into the auditorium.
On the whole, we'll wait for a n other set of plays before we m a k e

in you was s h a k e n r a t h e r sadly last
"billet-doux" day but now with a t tendance warnings just released to
everybody but me, a n d Melanson,
I've reaffirmed my faith in you,
Some of my friends t h i n k you're

possessing
psychological
handicaps. O t h e r s think you hinder

so very a p p r o p r i a t e adjective if I
wasn't supposed to be a good little

this so I'll be content with your
withholding of some of t h a t C h r i s t mas cheer you're delivering to t h e

2. Many of my friends would like
to have you bring the Lion some new

a smaller Lion, or even better, no

Student Council Falls—
But Not A Coup d'Etat
S t u d e n t council topples I Ten
people injured! Yes, it is true.
T h e biggest accident in S t a t e
college's history occurred last
Tuesday night when the S t u d e n t
council cabinet crumpled to the
floor in t h e NHWS office while
some of those fantastic "jitterbugs" were d e m o n s t r a t i n g their
skill with t h e aid of Benny
Goodman's swing music.
Blood a n d gory, emaciated
bodies were strewn over t h e
floor a n d n e a r the doors. Broken
bones, broken spines, bruises and
even scratches were sustained in
the accident. W h e n t h e a m b u lance arrived to take the victims
to the hospital, there was on
h a n d t h e largest a t t e n d a n c e a t
any public function t h a t ever occured at this institution,
B u t folks, don't let us fool
you. T h e cabinet did really
topple over a n d several people
who were leaning on the cabinet
received a few bruises. Anything
can h a p p e n in t h e activities
office these days. So when you
come there for loitering purposes, beware!
Bad luck follows in your footsteps.

World's Fair of 1930, heralding Ihe
"Dawn of a New Day"—a day of
peace and progress in Ihe lives of

Grover A. Wbalen, president of the
New York World's Fair corporation.
Ihe greatest showman in United
States' history, calls for a gigantic
"get-together" of Ihe country thai
will radiate from the brilliant display of lights in Times Square.
It wilt be a coordinated d e m o n s t r a tion, planned to unite ihe millions
of Americans in ihe service ol an
enterprise devoted to ihe advancement of international peace, goodwill, and a better u n d e r s t a n d i n g
among all the peoples of the world,
Ships at sea, American embassies
and colonies abroad will also p a r ticipate In t h e World's Fair parties,
To simplify the m a n a g e m e n t of
the program the a r r a n g e m e n t s will
be handled by forty-eight Fair committees representing every state in
the Union.
Promptly a t midnight, local electric signs, all timed to t h e second,
will flash t h e Fair's "Dawn of a New
Day" message ol the trylons and
perispheres which symbolize the exposition. Al Ihe same time, orchestras anil bands of Ihe nation will
strike up the Fair's theme song,
written by the late George GerSiTwln, al all parlies, clubs, hotels, all
gala with party concepts ol orange
and blue which are ihe Fair colors.
College, university, and alumni organizations will participate in the
gala festivities,
Musicians, artists
and craftsmen will make the New
Year a happy one lor members of
trades and guilds all over Ihe country. Even local ministers and leclurers will sound the "Dawn of a
New Day," tidings of hope ami optimism, in religious ceremonies In
every American community on the
morning of J a n u a r y 1. As a titling
conclusion to this giant spectacle, the
Fair will broadcast its message of
peace and good will toward all men
over a world-encircling network.
Tills "salute" will sustain the theme
of fellowship and hope, of amity
and faitli which, only a few hours
before, h a d welded into one great
vocal unit t h e United S t a t e s of
America.
