The Critic
T h e Don Cossack Chorus is a tribute to the musical
prowess of Serge Jaroff. T h e virtuosity of this choral
group lias overwhelmed audiences throughout the
world. We might c o m m e n t t h a t except for t h e basso
who was soloist in " T h e K a m a Song," the soloists
possessed voices of ordinary quality. However, this
should bring even more praise for Jarolf, who h a s
taken these m e n a n d infused t h e m with a spirit Which
is clearly reflected in t h e high interpretative quality
of each selection o n t h e p r o g r a m . T h e technical
equipment which Jaroff h a s drilled into the chorus
is beyond compare. Before h e a r i n g t h e Don Cossacks', inflections such as they achieved would have
seemed possible only upon a n organ.
Indeed, the
chorus responded to Jaroff's h a n d s as if it were a n
organ, sensitive to every touch a n d mood.
T h e r e are two m a t t e r s which this column regrets.
Since our audience was composed of people from all
parts of the Capital district, it would have been
wiser on Jaroff's part not to have repeated the
program which was given in Troy, October 4 t h . T h e
second m a t t e r concerns us a t S t a t e college more
directly.
" T h e Snipe,'' a composition whose chief
merit was its revelation of the laughing powers of
the chorus, was received riotously while " T h e Kama
Song," a deeply moving native Russian folk-song was
merely endured. T h e conclusion which may be drawn
l'roni this Incident is loo pertinent to be glossed
over.
T h e audience could nol have received Miss d r o l l ' s

I c a m e to S t a t e with a fairly high Regent's average. Since t h e n , I've probed t h r o u g h t h e verses of
Virgil. I've sweated in Prof. Hale's Physics 21. And
I even struggled by Birchy's combinations a n d permutations.
B u t I can't m a k e head or tail out of t h e labyrinth
of rules whereby t h e i n n o c e n t f r e s h m a n w o m a n b e comes a soror. Pity t h e poor rushee.
S h e can't walk with a soror after 5:00 o'clock.
Nor c a n s h e have a double d a t e with a soror. S h e
never sees t h e interior of a sorority house unless
it's sanctioned by t h a t g r a n d old intersorority constitution.
I, a poor frater, protest against, n o t t h e idea of
sororities, but of its i n a n e regulations. I cry out in
objection to sorority snickering because t h e fraternities
don't have a silent period. I d o n o t w a n t a n i n t e r fraternity system a s foolish a n d complicated a s t h e
sororities!
While I'm knocking, I should speak of t h e common
practice of sorority girls r u s h i n g freshmen for this
or t h a t fraternal group. I t ' s "dirty" (in everyday
parlance). Nor should f r a t e r n i t y m e n show preference
for this or t h a t sorority, as far as women's rushing
matters.
Group morals should outlaw it, since no organization c a n . However, if this activity continues, let
no one kick, if his group suffers. " T u r n about is fair
play."

Last Friday, we postponed Mr. Francello's idealistic a m e n d m e n t to the s t u d e n t body's constitution.
Some relevant material will soon be published by
Finance board. Every holder of a s t u d e n t tax card
will soon learn the benefits he obtains from it. No
matter, whether we should pay for the right to vote
or not, soiic thing m u s t be done.
If, fmall
'.ve, holders a n d non-holders of t a x cards,
table t h e a m e n d m e n t , some provision should be formed
for exclusion of n o n - h o l d e r s from voting in assembly
and even from participation. W e must be consistent.

STATE COLLEGE NEWS, DECEMBER IS, 1939
News Questional™ Ferrets Out
Untold Secrets of Student Body
The
STATE
COLLEGE
NEWS
broke
through the thin veneer of student
modesty Friday and a serious eruption of startling true confessions
took place. A preliminary examination of the laughable lava which
oozed into the Activities office
brought to light the following
chunks of frank philosophy.
The following are descriptions of
State men: "Less said the better,"
"Mostly 'drips'," "Very nice but
many are too rough," "A bit too
effeminate." State women did not
escape, however, and met with: "As
dates—make good teachers," "Hot
and cold," "Generally acceptable—
figuratively speaking" and "Four
types—smart (stooges), beautiful
(and too smart), dumb (still beautiful) and dumber."
Fraternities and sororities took
quite a lashing but one enterprising individual admitted that they
might "be fun if combined."
In answer to "How many times
do you date a week," one girl
stated, "I've never dated a week."
Another said "Seven times a week
and when he comes to see me."
One person's favorite dance bands
are: "My own, my brother's, and
my uncle's." Two frank and fearless souls stated that marriage in
college would depend on conditions
and another tragically confessed
that she "Wouldn't even be here
if my boy friend could support a
wife." One girl said that she preferred a church.
"Wish me luck for tonight," was
the plaintive request of one young
gentleman to "kissing on the first
date."
"Are you in love at present"
brought down such replies as, "I'll
ask her" and "Tragically." One
young man, J. W., '43, coyly stated

final half, the Engineers evened
up the score at 17-17, after they
had trailed 15-10. Both teams began to part the meshes consistently,
and with but four minutes remaining, the cherry-and-whlte clad team
that he had never kissed a g i r l - was leading 31-29. The final gun

Geo. D. Jeoney, Prop.
one, while another said he didn't
"have a wife to strike." This question, "Would you strike your wife,"
also brought the cynical reply "Is
she any better than my mother?"
sounded with the green-and-white
on the short end of a 38-31 score.
