Wilfred Allard Spends Summer
In Europe During Recent Crisis
by Sally Young
(this is the first part of a story
of the summer European travels of
Wilfred Allard, who was in Italy
when the recent crisis arose and
broke.<)
"New York looked mighty good to
me."
That was the reaction of Wilfred
Allard, new supervisor of French in
Milne high school, upon his arrival
in New York after two and one half
months of travel in England, France,
and Italy.
Allard started out, three months
ago, via the Normandie, for a trip
to Europe. He spent two weeks in
London, saw the tennis finals at
Wimbledon, then went to France;
the trip across the English channel
to Paris was made in seventy-five
minutes by air.
When he arrived in Paris on the
night before July 14, he found it
brilliantly lighted for the occasion.
The next day he saw a magnificient revue, which represented the
entire French empire. Troops from
Algeria, Indo-China, Morocco, the
French Foreign Legion, and a group
from England, and a Scottish reg*
Cyr were present. The King's Guards
from England, and a Scottich regiment also participated. Hundreds
of bombers and pursuit planes flew
overhead, displaying the air might
of Great Britain and France.
A performance of Faust at the
Opera, the Comedie Francaise with
its "Cyrano de Bergerac", visits to
the Louvre and other places of interest to the Parisian traveler, filled three weeks in Paris. From Paris,
Allard made a three week's tour to
the south of France, including Avignon—the home of the Popes, Nimes,
Carcassonne, Marseilles, the French
Riviera, Monte Carlo, Cannes, and
Nice, in his itinerary.

you are one of those who answer
"yes", then you need read no

Here, through individual conferences, you may obtain advice and

The clinic is under the direction of Mrs. Edward Cooper, wife

You too can learn to "rip up

those few who like to hold your
balance (and might I suggest
your dinners, too) on the dance
floor, you can learn how to do
the more conservative fox trot
or waltz without exciting your
innermost mechanisms too greatly.
Classes will begin Friday, October 21 under the supervision
of Rita Sullivan, member of Myskania.

step. Next, be sure that you attend the meetings, at which
timely tunes will be furnished by

First Rivalry D e b a t e
During Assembly
Janice Friedman, '40, president
of Debate council, has announced
the selection of nineteen new members to be added to the regular
squad which now brings the total
up to thirty-two. Wlliam G. Hardy,
debate coach, was the judge for the
tryouts.
On October 7, Mr. Hardy attended
the conference for Debate Coaches
of New York state at Colgate university. At the conference possible
topics for collegiate debates were
discussed and selected. Among
those decided upon are the "Isolation of the United States," "PanAmerican relations," "Ownership
of public utilities," and "War
referendum."
Assembly Debate
A tentative schedule has been
drawn up which arranges for the
first inter-class debate to be fought

seniors this morning. The proposiRepeal of Embargo Measure

"What is your opinion of the Ague amendment to the voting system'.'", an inquiring reporter asked

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 13,
Student Council
Revises Rivalry
1939
D AND A GUEST
Rules for B a n n e r , Mascot,
a n d Athletic Contests
Undergo Changes
The rules governing inter-class
rivalry were recently revised and
clarified by Student council as was
predicted in the 1943 handbook.
The major changes were made in
section B—banner rivalry, section
C—challenging, and section F—
athletic events.
Under the new ruling in banner
rivalry, the contest shall close at
midnight preceding Moving-up day
and not before. Both banners must
be given to the president of Student
council between midnight and 8:00
o'clock on Moving-up day. The old
rules demanded that the banners
Dr. Oliver St. John Gogarty, Irish
be given to the president at midpoet and writer, who will be the
night when the contest closed.
guest of D and A council.
New Rules for Sing
In the section on challenging, a
new sub-heading was added to part
three which states that, "in the
event of a sing, the contest shall
be judged on the singing of the
class song to the Alma Mater, which
song shall be original in words and
music." This is an entirely new ruling designed to facilitate the judging of the contest and to enable
the classes to concentrate on one
song for the contest.
The rules governing
athletic
events have been changed so that
section 1 — interclass basketball,
part (c), now reads, "three points
shall be awarded to the class whose
men's team is successful in games
played between the two rival classes." The specification about following the inter-class basketball
schedule and the procedure in the
event of a tie was deleted because
there is no schedule and there can
be no tie in basketball.
Mascot Hunt
A minor change under A—freshman welcome, has been enacted,
substituting the sophomore reception for the freshmen for section 1,
part (a). Thus the freshmen will
be instructed in the traditions and
and inter-ciass rivalry rules at the
sophomore reception instead of the
first Friday of school. Under D—
mascot hunt, section five, part (b)
has been revised so that the mascot must be presented to a member of Myskania instead of Student
council. A change in section three
under athletic events specifies that
the women's obstacle races will be
conducted on Campus day. One
point will be awarded to the victor
of each race allowing for a division
of points.
State SCA Delegates
To Attend Conference
New Pedagogue Board
Will Start Activities
Marie Metz, '40, editor-in-chief
of the Pedagogue, and Stephen
Bull, '40, photography editor, announce that the photographer for
the Pedagogue and agency pictures will be taken in the Commons
of Hawley hall, starting Monday.
All are asked to sign up on the main
bulletin board immediately.
In regard to agency pictures Mr.
Paul G. Bulger, director of the Student Employment bureau, asks that
senior women wear anything that
is becoming without overdressing
so that interest will not be detracted
from the face of the subject. Senior
men are asked to wear coats and
ties.
A feature of this year's Ped pictures will be the removal of formality, no more drapes. For the sorority pages t h e undergraduate
women will wear light colored
sweaters with or without pearls or
white collars. The women who do
not have light sweaters may secure
them from the photographer's supply. The senior women and undergraduate men may wear either
sweaters or whatever Is convenient.
The prices for the pictures will
be the same as usual, one dollar
for undergraduates and two dollars
for seniors including twelve agency
pictures. Graduates who wish agency
pictures may have them for the
same rate.

D and A to Offer
Oliver Gogarty,
Noted Irish Wit
World Famous Writer, Poet
t o A p p e a r in P a g e H a l l
Wednesday Night
Students and faculty of State
college and the general public of
Albany will have the opportunity
of hearing Doctor Oliver St. John
Gogarty of Dublin, Ireland Wednesday evening at 8:30 o'clock in Page
hall auditorium. He will be presented by the Dramatics and Arts
council as their first guest of the
school year.
Doctor Gogarty, tall, blue-eyed,
and distinguished in his bearing is
famous for his interesting and witty comentaries on Dublin life and
Ireland's famous literary figures.
Jane Wilson, '40, president of D
and A, is confident that "his quips,
puns, stories of Dublin life and
word portraits of great men in
Irish literary society will provide
an evening of entertainment well
worth hearing."
Native of Ireland
Born in the latter half of the
nineteenth century, Dr. Gogarty
grew into manhood at the time of
Ireland's great literary revival. His
intimate friends were most of Ireland's great statesmen and literary
figures, in fact, his town house and
country estate were favorite gathering places for such personages as
George Russell Moor, Lady Gregory,
Shaw, Yeats, Joyce and others.
Not only is Dr. Gogarty famous
for his wit but for his many occomplishments as a surgeon, sportsman, statesman and poet. As a
statesman he served as a member
of the Irish Senate from 1922 to 1936
when the body was abolished by
De Valera. As a writer he ranks as
one of the greatest lyric poets in
modern English literature and has
been compared to Heyrick, Waller
and Heine. When William Butler
Yeats edited his famous anthology,
"Oxford Book of Verse" several
years ago, he chose Dr Grogarty
as the contemporty poet.
Best Known Works
Perhaps Dr. Gogarty is best
known to Americans for his prose
works, "I Followed St. Patrick,"
"As I Was Going Down Sackville
Street," and "Tumbling in the Hay."
"Going Down Sackville Street"
is composed of his reminiscences
of Dublin's great and near-great
during the past fifty years—the
leading figures of the Irish literary
Rcnnaissance, all of whom were

Book Exchange
In the issue of the XKV.S dated February 10,
10 59, the Cornmentstater made a suggestion to
•'some enterprising student why not set up a
second hand exchange to which students can bring
all their second hand books to be s o l d " It was
therefore with great pleasure that we witnessed the
introduction of a resolution to that effect in last
week's assembly.
The present system, everyone will agree, is
wholly inadequate. The confusion outside the Coup door, the scribbling of authors and titles on the
s h e e t s , the subsequent contact of individuals
through the student mail, do not make facile and
.speedy transaction of books. Furthermore, through
the inefficiency of this system, textbooks which
are in demand are left to gather dust on the shelves,
because the owner failed to contact a purchaser.
T h e proposed exchange should serve to eliminate
this waste.
W e congratulate those few persons who are
responsible for this move which will be of immeasurable service to the student body.

U. S. College Students Join in Battle to Fight Syphilis
An Exclusive Colleslate Digest Feature Prepared tw U. S. Public Health Service.
Piiblislit
East and west, north and south, college stu Jents in every
type of institution have taken up the cry "Stamp Out
Syphilis — Enemy of Youth". Young person have been for
years the victims of a "mistaken moral cen orship" which
forbade discussion of this leading threat to ycuth health. But
during the past two years college editors and students have
helped materially to blast this censorship rom its shaky
foundations. Every day more students asl< for facts andi
honesty.
Students have instigated educational campaigns and have
arranged free blood tests for students At Texas, George
Washington, Kentucky, V . P. I., Bucknell, Pttsburgh, Syracuse — and a host of other universities and colleges — student campaigns have met with startling successes. Presidents
and deans are beginning to see then way cl^ar to place the
blood test in its rightful place in routine examinations, and
are recognizing the need for courses in sex education and
marriage guidance.
I
Ten million persons in the United States have or have
had syphilis . . . a million potential mothers have syphlis . . . 100,000 deaths a year
60,000 congenital
syphilitics born annually . . . half of every year's
500,000 new case ore under 25 years of age . . .
Students and faculty alike looked at the above statistical
picture of syphilis. Many saw their responsibilities as leaders
of the future and as trainers of those leaders of the future.
Others asked, "But is this a problem for us - - for college
students and faculty?" Just this past January the U. S. Pubic Health Service and the American Social Hygiene Association answered that question. On the basis of more than
78,000 blood tests, they reported, the rate for college students is approximately the same as for the corresponding age
group in the general population. In March, the students
spoke. Out of nearly a million and a half students, in colleges all over the United States, 93.1 per cent answered
yes to the question: "Do you belie a blood test before
marriage should be required by law^
e whole people",
"The control of syphilis is a task fc
Surgeon General Parran says. Rich or poor, in college or
out, young people of today are vita v and directly cone pictures indicate
cerned with the control of syphilis
what some students are doing abou leir "public health
problem No. 1 " .

Another intramural football season is here again, and by some of
the results already recorded, a season of upsets seems in store. Monday's inaugural contests saw Kappa Beta win handily from Potter
club 13-7, while Avalon-Spencer set
down SLS by a 19-12 score.
KB Scores Upset
The first game definitely was a
surprise as KB was decidedly the underdog against Potter. However,
KB dominated the play from beginning to end, although they only
punched out a one touchdown victory.

After several weeks of hard training, State's cross-country squad is
just about ready for its first meet
with Delhi on October 21. The first
trials of the season were run
last Tuesday on the Washington park course. As predicted, Manager Francello and Bob Cooke paced
the field, with Cooke crossing the
finish line about twenty seconds
ahead of Francello. They were followed closely by Frank Hansen, a
freshman who hasn't done too
much running this season. Snover,
Denike and Agnello finished in
that order.
There were only six men running,
inasmuch as Steve Shaw and Doug
Mauley were disabled. Shaw will
be lost to tlie team for the entire
season because of knee trouble.
The loss of Shaw will be a blow
to the team, but his place will be
filled by Hansen. Cooke has lived
up to all expectations, and will
probably be the mainstay of the
team this year.

STATE COLLEGE NEWS, OCTOBER 13, 1939
Wilfred Allard, While in Europe,
Witnesses Wartime Preparations
by Sally Young
(This is the second part of a story
of the summer European travels of
Wilfred Allard, who was in Italy
when the recent crisis arose and
broke.)
At Cannes, he saw> the famous
Battle of Flowers; in*Nice, he attended an outdoor performance of
"Prometheus Chained" in the Roman Arena and witnessed the Fete
des Provinces Francaises.
His first journey to Italy was
a pleasant one. Genoa, Pisa of the
famed Leaning Tower, Naples, Capri, Pompeii and Rome were highspots of his Italian visit. During
his three day's stay in Rome, he
viewed an outdoor performance of
"Aida", in the ruins of the Caracalla Baths, which was attended by
20,000 people. The Conte de Bavoia,
Italian liner, was leaving Naples
during his visit; three days later,
as he returned to France, he again
saw the ship, which had been called back to Italian waters by Mussolini.
When the crisis came, Allard was
in Florence, Italy, where very little
about the crisis was known. The
American consul told all Americans
to leave as quickly as possible, since
no one knew when Italy might join
the Germans in the hostilities.
From Florence he proceeded to
Nice, to Grenoble and back to
Paris, where he was located when
the war was declared.
The wartime Paris was very calm
and quiet. Public notices to the
civilian population gave information about procedure in case of
an air raid; all news was censored.
All skylights and headlights were
painted blue; all lights were a dim
blue; traffic signals were removed;
windows were reinforced with Scotch
tape to prevent breakage in a bombardment. Bags of sand were placed about, reinforcing all beautiful
bits of sculpture in l'Opera, le
Louvre and other homes of art.
Cellar windows were boarded to
keep gas from entering air shelters,
and all night life ceased abruptly for a period of time. The movies,
the Folies Bergere and the Bal
Tabarin were still closed in early
September. People could be found,
eating in cafes, with gas masks
slung over their shoulders.
(Concluded next week)
Assembly To Feature
First Rivalry Debate
(Continued from page 1, column 1)
The program this year includes
the regular panel discussions, formal debates and round table discussions in which three or four
colleges participate.
Those selected to fill the berths
on the varsity roster are Sadie Flax
and Geraldine Ewing, seniors; Cyril
Kilb, Catherine O'Bryan and Alma
Knowles, juniors; Edwin Holstein,
David Kreher, Lothar Schultze,
Glen Walrath, Selma Leis, Ira
Hlrsch, Harry Passow, Fred Ferris, Betty Cummings, Lauretta Servatius, Dorothea Devlns, Jeannette
Ryerson, Thomas Augustine and
Vincent Miller, sophomores.
Reporter Finds Minds In State Of Suspension
(Continued from page 1, column 2)
anyone who assumes an intelligent
and cooperative attitude, but an experienced senior penetrated the haze
of theories of the value of the system and explored its practical working. He believed that it would result in dirtier politics than now
exist. An example well illustrated
his point. Rho Dammit Rho and
Kappa Kegga Beer, two sororities,
who find it to their advantage to
work together, discover, on publication of results for revotes, that each
has a candidate who carries a n excellent chance of winning, if she
can receive backing from another
organization. Therefore, each will
switch their votes to the others'
candidates, thus securng for each
a winner. Under the present
method, he pointed out, this would
not be possible.
State college reacts to the amendments as any civic group does to its
public questions. Some favor the
whole, some favor part; others oppose the whole or part, but most
don't care.

A talk by Miss Helen Hall
Moreland, dean of students, and
a further discussion of the proposed amendments to the constitution are the features of today's assembly.
Miss Moreland will speak to
the student body about the changes in the set-up of her offices,
one of which is now the headquarters for the PTEB and the
NYA.
The amendment before the
student association is in two
parts: one, a proposal to change
the method of revotes; and two,
the compulsory publication of all
numerical results of all elections.
These parts are open for discussion. Students are urged to
state their views before the assembly before the final voting
today.
Lloyd Kelly, president of the
Student association, will make
several announcements vital to
Campus day, which is tomorrow.
The Milne clubs for practical instruction in hobbies are now entering their third week of pupil
activity. Miss Margaret Hayes, assistant professor of guidance, who is
assisted by Leslie Wiley, graduate,
has released names of the sponsors
of the twenty-nine clubs, together
with a statement of their purpose
and of future ambitions.
Registrants in courses Education
115, Education 129, and Junior Education 10, who have some specialized abilities, direct the classes
which include a field from athletics and music to cooking and
chemistry.
"At the present time
the clubs are extra-curricular, but
since they offer a chance for the
pupil to find his natural talents
and interests, it would be very
proper and advantageous to include them in the regular school
course," Wiley stated.
The sponsors for the senior cluBs
