"Let It Withdraw?>>
Permission to continue the 193S-39 point ratings was granted by the Student association last
year with the explicit understanding that the Point
System Revision committee would begin immediately a revision of the old procedure and submit
its recommendations early in the fall. To date,
nothing has been heard from this committee. "Not
only has it been dormant, to all intents and purposes, it has been non-existent."
Is it the intent of the Point System Revision
committee to continue the laxity of enforcement
which has characterized the operation, or better
stated, failure to operate, of the system in previous
years? Is it the intent of the committee to continue the point system as State's number one farce?
If not, why have no violations of the present system been reported? Why has no action been taken
on the formation of a new system?
State college needs a point system. But it
would be far better to return to the pre-point system days rather than continue a system unsound in
theory and unworkable in practice. If the committee is to be at all sincere in the performance
of its duties, it must get to work. It must offer
a plan which is not doomed to failure at the very
outset. In evolving such a plan it might be well
to give serious consideration to the following recommendations):
1. Under the new setup, the committee must
possess the power to punish all offenders. Too
long has this body been a 'glorified research bureau'
for Student council. Passing the punishing buck
has not worked.
2. All thought of using a mathematical formula
should be forgotten. Each office should be considered as an individual case. Hearings should be
conducted before points are alloted any office.
3. The new system must be a flexible one. The
committee should be given 'interim jurisdiction' to
administer details of operation not important
enough for consideration by the student assembly.
This powrer would include: the right to lower and
nii.se point ratings and make such additions and
changes a s it deems necessary. Such changes would

To the Editor of the STATE COLLEGE NEWS :
This letter is in answer to that unwholesome missive published by you in last week's paper and signed
"A Freshmanette."
My dear Freshmanette:
I am afraid that perhaps the balcony is far too
conducive to sleep; you seemed to have lost the
entire logic of the debate against Mr. Agne's amendment. We were not attempting to aid Emily Post
nor spare the feelings of fellow students.
However, we were attempting to preserve the
democracy at State collcgo which we already have.
For your benefit I shall recapitulate the reasoning
which defeated Mr. Agne's amendment; this (as
shown by the vote) is not necessary for the rest of
the student body. We opposed the amendment because we thought independent candidates would be
afraid to run for fear they would not get any votes
and thus be disgraced.
Secondly, we wanted to know why It was more
democratic to publish the votes than not to publish
them. Is it more democratic just because the national government does it?
The student body deserves the highest praise for
defeating the amendment. Those who voted for the
amendment and those who voted against the amendment acted as they thought best, not because they
were high pressured!
Arthur Seld, '40.

Dear Editor:
We, the students of State college, pride ourselves
on our democratic form of assembly but there Is one
phase of it which is incompatible with this view.
Not every one who attends assembly has the right
to indulge in the most important part of democratic
government, namely that of voting. There is no doubt
in my mind that this situation should be rectified.
With this point of view, I am proposing the following amendment expressly striking out Article III
which reads as follows:
"All ri'Kiilarly unrolled s t u d e n t s of Nenv York State
College for Teachers" a n d a n y special s t u d e n t s of this college shall become m e m b e r s of t h i s a s s o c i a t i o n upon payment of tile b l a n k e t l u x , "
and substituting In its place the following amendment:
"All r e t t a l a r l y enrolled u n d e r g r a d u a t e s t u d e n t s of New
York Slate College far Teachers a r e m e m b e r s of this
association,"
The following are some substantial reasons to

No news is good news. So this
week must be a good one, for there's
been a definite lack of anything
happening. Anything, that is, that
wasn't really expected.
We expected Joe McKeon to go
to Senior Hop, but there was a little
bit of a surprise when we learned
whom he took. Sort of a case of
keeping in the Simmons family.
We expected Alma Knowles at
Hop, too, but the Joe Rowland
angle wasn't quite the usual thing.
We expected more, too, that didn't
disappoint us like: Del Galonian
getting two freshmen on a string
at once—Feeney, and Singer—and
I Muriel Scovill, that cute little
freshman, looking very happy last
weekend with a boy from back home
—and invasions from Union anu
Law School that you can inquire
i more about by asking Ruby Stewart
and Alice Brown.
' And so everything has been rath| er usual and unsurprising. Not to
Bob Walter tho—the noonday brawl
in the Commons last Friday, that
some like to call rivalry, (all in
the spirit of fun), ended in a torn
coat among other things for him.
That's the result of freshmen not
learning the alma mater when they
should. You can't get away with
anything with Merritt and his class,
you know.
Have you heard about the new
plan Kelly is inaugurating for himself—beginning in the near future
—he's decided that a rolling stone
may gather no moss, but it sure
does have a lot more fun—anyway,
it's worth trying.
Tuesday was a great day for Senator Grattan—funny he doesn't get
interested in girls and stuff like he
does in politics. Interested in just
one, that is. Van Ellis is decidedly
not suffering from that trouble—he
seems to be rather settled In his
preference for Millie,
What's all this about the very
colorful gathering Friday nite —
Pauline Bronstein and Friedlander,
the old, old grad of one year back,
were still having just as good a time
the next nite—much to the sorority
sisters' disapproval. Sometimes it's
better to be conventional!
We expected a girl to be interested in who made the varsity basketball squad but we didn't expect her
to come all the way up to school at
night to see if Ellerin did make it.
Down in Kappa Beta, it's now
"Change Partners" for whole dances
instead of single sets.
All in all, there was one unexpected light in this rather dull
week—Herb Oksala was seen to
walk a girl home from school Wednesday it's a good thing some
people do things unordinary once
in a while.
Well, sorors and fraters, you can
drag those extra cots back up into
the garret and pack those extra
blankets away in moth balls again,
for the alums that swooped down
upon you last week have left the
fold again. Pi Alpha Tau welcomed back Arlene Simon and Janice
Jacobs, of '38, and Lillian Frank and
Anne Kalichman, of '39. "June Lily"
(Palmer), Ginny Furey and Marge
Crist stopped in at KD. Back for
Hop and house dances were three
Gamma Kap alums—Mildred Nightingale, '38, and Joyce Maycock and
Joanne Byron, both of '39. Chi Sig
said hello to Mary Margaret Pappa,
'39. SLS had its share of visltings
alums too—Frank Hildebrandt, Earl
Cleaves, Ed Bromley, and Bill Mollenkopf, all of '38. Norm Gunberson, Leo Plante, and Tom Breen,
'37ers, came around to 495 State
street. Kappa Beta saw Dave Smith,
'38, and Moe Sweetgall, '37.
Last week the Greeks welcomed
several faculty members into their
fold. Dr. and Mrs. Sisk and Mr.
Lionel Pearson became honorary
members of Sigma Alpha. Dr. DoBell was Initiated into KDR.
And all those new pledges. MY,
my,—a jolly red lollypop to you and
as good luck in your freshman rushing.
The Phi Delts have three new
pledges, Charlotte Ritchie, '41, and
Louise DeAngelcs and Doris Sturtze,
sophomores. Gladys Broughton, '41
and Olive Myers, Hazel MacCombs,
and Mary Mcintosh, sophomores,
have given their pledges to Sigma
Alpha.
Many undergraduates among the
men, witnessed the formal Initiation ceremony for the first time last
week. Howie Anderson, Bob Carr
and Les Graves are now honest and
truly (black and bluey) members of
KDR now. Hank Germand, Jimmy
Sherwood and Thorpe DeVoid, all
of '42 and Ernie Case, '41, were initiated into Sigma Lambda Sigma.
Phi Lambda initiated Leah Wilklns
and Loretta Garry, both seniors;
PAT, Arline Greenfield, '42. Six
sophs were formally gathered into
the AEPhi group: Paul Bronstein,
Ruth Edwards, Elsie Ferber, Edythe
Friedman, Bernice Lenowitz, ard
Blanche Navy. Wearing a KD pin
for the first time were Gen Ling
and Betty Cummings, class of '42.
Next to June they say October
Is the month when the most wedding knots are tied. At least It Is
a big month for Alpha Rho. Three
weddings have been announced:
Clara Hookey, ex '42, to Hallock
Gerow; Katrine Roys, ex '41, to Anthony Farrara; and Phyllis Tucker,
'36, to John Pattengill.
