Annual Festival
Spurred on by the enthusiastic
cheering section led by Dower,
Walrath and Grattan, the Class
of '41 Red Raiders swept to an
overwhelming victory over the
hapless Yellow Devils of the
Class of '44 Wednesday night.
The freshmen have thus kept
their season's record clean of wins.
The seniors, led by Oksala's
high scoring of 8 points, amassed
a total of 32 tallies to the meager
15 points which the yearlings
finally scored. Chubby Quinn
was the most outstanding man
on the floor.
An outcome of this sensational
Senior victory was the challenging of the Freshman's women's
team, not by the Senior women,
but by the Myskania men's team.
The Myskania Muscovites will be
coached by Beers, Miller, and
Dower in the necessary fundamentals of the women's rules
which will be used.

The Class of 1943, although forced into it, has
put into effect a long discussed idea about State
College formal dances, ft has made three noteworthy I
innovations in State's Sophomore Soiree.
1. It has lowered the bid to the dance from the
traditional $3,50 to $2.20.
2. It has engaged two bands instead of one.
3. It has thrown aside the "try to get a name j
band for the name's sake'' idea.
When before has the announcement of Soiree
music met with sincere applause in Student
Assembly? When before has the President of Student Association been at pains to commend a class
for its choice of music for its formal dance?
The Sophomore class has taken the initiative in
its first large scale venture and its social reputation
is in the making; but more than that, the age-old
campus cry for "lesser bands and bids that we can
afford" has been answered.
Over and above all this, is the responsibility that
has been placed on the student body in supporting
this new trend in music. The success of the night
of April 4, 1941, will mean better, more inexpensive
dances and more of the much needed Capital District
publicity for N . Y. S. C. T .
The essence of a spirit of democracy rests in the "recognition of,
and respect for, the abilities, potentialities, limitations, and feelings of
all people." If a one-word equivalent for that spirit were chosen, the
word selected would undoubtedly be
"cooperation." Both that spirit and
its equivalent are exemplified in
the relationships of faculty members and students of New York
State's eleven teacher colleges and
normal schools.
The predominant area of facultystudent cooperation is in the
realm of alliedcurricular activity.

more than a "glittering generality." In the practical
workshop of the school newspaper,
the debating society, the symphony
orchestra, or what have you, opportunities are being presented for students to make progress and mistakes—fundamental essentials for a
liberal education.
Not only is this democratic spirit
exemplified in the extra-curricular
life of the various institutions. It
pervades even the administration,
classroom procedures, and both personal and social relationships.

and students. Both Buffalo State
and Oneonta Normal have found
in such meetings the solution to
many institutional problems. Their
characteristic frankness and informality have produced better understanding and real accomplishments.
Orientation Programs
Practically all of the normal
schools and teacher colleges have
introduced ambitious
orientation
programs designed to aid entering
students in "knowing" their school,
their community, their fellow-students, their faculty, and—what is
more important—themselves. Recent years have seen the growth of
a commendable trend, pioneered by
Albany State, toward the extension
of this program for the duration of
the college career rather than for
only ihe first few hectic weeks.
Apparent similarities
notwithstanding, this democratic spirit so
characteristic of the Empire State's
teacher training institutions has
been achieved through no ".system."
"Democracy is not a 'system'—it is
a way of life." And in New York
State, eleven different ways of life
have produced eleven
different
"working" democracies.

Changes in Syllabus
The Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York
has adopted a new Social Studies
syllabus which will eliminate Regents' examinations in the social
studies until the twelth year. Credit
will then be granted in proportion
to the courses taken, explained Dr.
D. V. Smith, Professor of Social
Studies.
The new syllabus will outline the
material to be covered, but will
leave the planning of extensive units
to the local teachers. For this reason, Pi Gamma Mu, Honorary Social
Studies fraternity, is sponsoring a
scries of meetings to acquaint prospective teachers with what will be
expected of them.
At the first meeting, speaking on
the topic of "Principles on Which
The Program Will Be Constructed."
Dr. Smith will furnish the groundwork for the weekly meetings to follow. It will take place in Room 2.
Monday, 4:30 P. M.
Catherine O'Bryan. '41, President
of Pi Gamma Mu, expresses her belief that the series will be of great
value to Social Studies teachers.
"These meetings can be compared
lo the seminars and honor courses
taken In other colleges without
direct credit, because of the value
gained by liiose attending."

Adopts New Administration Ruling Spreading Burden

Students Getting Benefit from Activities
Designed to insure the collection of Student Tax payments from
every undergraduate in State College, a regulation making these payments compulsory was released this morning through the STATU COI>

This ruling has been enacted, Dr. Sayles explained, to place the
burden of paying for an extra-class program on every student at State
who is benefiting from it.
Enforcement »f this ruling is to begin this semester, No final grades
will be issued lo any student who has not paid his tax in full.
