STATE COLLEGE FOR TEACHERS, ALBANY, N.
Student Council to Have
'Gripefest' in Assembly
Students! Have you any grievances against your constitution?
Yes? Well, here's your chance to
voice them.
Student council has announced
that a "Gripefest" will be conducted in the assembly on Friday,
October 43, to give all students an
opportunity to express their criticisms and to make suggestions
concerning the constitution.
This year Student council has
decided to rectify the wrongs of
the present constitution, recovering several by-laws, which previously had been forgotten or lost.
After simplifying and consolidating all these, the council expects
to produce a master copy with
which all may become easily
acquainted.

THE WEEKLY BULLETIN
Abolish Class Reporter
Each week, when weekly assignments an: given
to staff reporters, each class is carefully covered
for all activities. Accurate news is thus obtained
by this paper through its own facilities, The existence, therefore, of a class reporter is wholly unnecessary.
The abolition of this superfluous office will
mean time and effort saved for all concerned. One
less office in the class elections will cut down the
number of nominations as well as facilitate the
counting of ballots. Jt is the duty of either Student
council or Myskania to eliminate this waste. W e
therefore call upon one of these two bodies to act
upon this matter in the near future,

Hey, frosh I Hey, everybody!
The annual WAA Indian Ladder
outing is going to start bright
and early Saturday morning,
October 7. Busses will be ready
and willing to take you there,
and after arriving you'll have a
clay full of fun before you.
There'll be trails galore to attempt
all potential hikers, there'll be
good food to appease your appetites, and there'll be lots of games
to help prove your physical
prowess.
Be sure to come appropriately
dressed with slacks or other comfortable paraphernalia, a warm
sweater—just in case it's windy—
and low-heeled shoes. If you
intend to probe into the depths
of a cave, it would be wise to
carry your trusty ole flashlight
with you.

Under the direction of James
Maloney, '41, the MAA Press bureau will begin to function shortly
in its capacity of publicizing State
college athletics. The bureau, now
in its second year, has, for the first
time, been granted a $50 appropriation in the student budget, and
with this financial aid hopes to accomplish many things that limited
finances made impossible in the
bureau's first year.
This year, the bureau will be
composed of several interdependent
committees, each handling a distinct phase in publicizing State athletics. The main branch devotes
itself to supplying articles to capital district newspapers. Thus far,
State's sports have taken a back
seat to scholastic activities in Albany, Troy and Schenectady papers.
By supplying local papers with a
continual stream of publicity, the
group hopes to put State sports,
especially varsity basketball, into
the local spotlight.
This committee, in turn, will be assisted in the writing of its articles by
a group securing information on
rival teams from our opponents. Last
year, data compiled by this group
was also used by members of the
NEWS sports staff and in the future
all such material gathered will be I
added to the MAA sports file. A
third department collects material
on State's athletes and supplies this
information to the home town newspapers of the men. The fourth :
department of the Press bureau devotes itself to publicizing athletics
within the school.
In addition to Maloney, other
members are Joe Schwartz, Lou
Greenspan. Gad Bodner and Bob,
Patton, juniors; Carl Marotto, Phil
Kaufman, Howie Anderson and Irv
Bliss, sophomores.
Marjorie Baird, '40, president of
WAA announces that the fall sports
season for women is now open and
offers the following sports: hockey,
tennis, soccer and archery. The
sports captains promise fun, activity, and instruction to all participants.
In order to earn a WAA award one

number of hours in four sports each
year for three years. The award
