Pratt Unpredictable It would require a lot of conjecture to make a prediction concerning the probable results of tomorrow's game. Coach McKillop's boys lost to Stevens Tech by a score of 3-2; and came back strong the following game to shower Upsala, 30-7. On Wednesday, May 14, the State dlamondeers will play their return game with RPI. The game will be played in Troy because of an agreement to the effect made with the Engineers, but it will represent the "home" game for State in their bookings with the Rensselaer team. Lost First Game Last Wednesday the local squad bussed over to RPI and were shaded by the Engineers, 9-6. Although the Trojans had the long end of the final tally, the State team outhit its opponents. Rensselaer garnered most of its runs on free passes Issued by Van Ellis. Larry Balog, team captain, pilfered a couple of sacks at a critical point in the game.

This action was secured by the efforts of Dorothea Maclsaac, '42, and Earle Snow, '44, who arranged an appointment with Mr. Hofflinger of the Internal Revenue Department, which resulted in the granting of exemption on the grounds of the educational value of the presentation.

But if you compare tin's week's Moving-Up Day issue with the Moving-Up Day issues of a year ago you will see readily the changes which were introduced. Last September the STATE C O U K G E N E W S embarked on a policy of gradual evolution defined as "Conservative-Liberal." This issue does not represent the fruition of that evolution. But it does represent the culmination of a year's effort to make the NEWS a newspaper rather than a weekly bulletin. First phase of the paper's transformation was the streamlining of its typography, makeup, and stylesheet. Old Style Cheltenham was abandoned in favor of a modern Sans Serif face. Legibility and consistency became bywords. " 8 : 0 0 o'clock this morning" became "8 A. M." And in all evaluations made of the N E W S this year, paper scored highest for typography and makeup. The new order outlawed the writing of stories with painstaking reference to the bound volumes and required that items had to have news value if they were to appear. Traditionally featured stories gave way to ones of greater significance, A real effort was made to link the college with the "outside world" through countless polls, interviews with Lehman and Willkie, stories on the draft, national defense taxes, and educational trends. More facts were printed than ever before—and these illustrated with graphs, cartoons, charts, etc. Not only was more news printed—that printed was more timely. This morning's issue contains a tennis result wired from Conneticut last night. A year ago the student body waited a week to read of Moving-Up Day announcements. This year it will not wait at all, and will get numerical results as well. The NEWS has become a better looking paper. Syndicated and locally drawn cartoons have been used. More pictures have appeared than ever before —and these have been of superior quality and had greater news value. The cartoon adjacent to this column was drawn Tuesday night, engraved yesterday afternoon, and printed early this morning. The picture of Myskania on page one replaces what formerly has been a oxlO'.i black blotch surmounted by indistinguishable faces. Even the advertising department has produced attractive advertisements, attractively arranged. And that department met admirably the crisis threatened when the NEWS was subjected to a 20' '< budget cut. This year 28 issues have been made possible on a budget smaller than the budget of a year ago which produced but 22 issues. Only increased advertising revenues, drastic economies, and wise management of funds brought about this financial security. As an editorial force during the past year the NEWS has been frank, outspoken, and yet reserved. It made no bones about denouncing a lazy Student Association which by an overwhelming majority permitted a poorly drafted and hopelessly padded budget to pass. It has bitterly opposed the cliquishness of fraternities and sororities, almost singlehanded effected the reform of the Publications Office, and lead the fight for the publication of numerical results. Most significant is the fact that the N H W S has operated throughout this critical year free from administrative control. The NKWS Board hopes that its management of that great responsibility will serve to prove that this free hand can be extended again and again without fear.

A g n t • (Editor's Note—The first part of this article appeared in the Moving-Up Day issue of the NEWS last year; the second part is written by the same author, but this time from his point of view as a Senior.) These are days of prophecy and prediction, of pageantry and power, of displays that absorb the aspects of destiny. These are the days of marching men; tomorrow we, too, march. But when we enter the door of Page Hall, we are invading no state, violating no frontier. We may feel strange, but we are merely claiming an Inevitable new realm that is ours. We will celebrate the joy and torture of this inheritance tomorrow as we move into next year, as we move up— and on. Man is a creature that takes peculiar pride in the right of succession, in the passing of property, tradition, and honor. Moving-Up Day, however, is Not Mere more than an ordeal of detail, more than Pomp and a reckoning with pomp and plunder; it is Pageantry the culmination of a year, or, more exactly, four years in one, for each class has come to the end of a period. High in the balcony, decked in a green and unusually large ribbon, sits the freshman, eager, anticipating, boisterous at the slightest excuse for applause, glad for a holiday, happy that he is at last free from the apprenticeship of a first year in college. Near him is the sophomore, superb in his affectation of ease, proudly and defiantly bearing his colors, expertly critical of the slightest error in procedure, throughly educated by his one year's experience. Downstairs sits the junior, toying nervously with his cane, baffled by the mysteries of success, jealous of honor, girded for the torment of the morning's suspense, wondering,—and hoping. Last and least is the senior, ignored in his dignity of cap and gown, solemn and bored by the ancient monotony, despairing of the future in the hands of the juniors, interested chiefly in forecasts he made and his money that backed them. This is the stage and the scene for the pageant. Perhaps the day will be slow; perhaps the schedule will be lost early, but there is pleasure in the waiting in line, not knowing what will follow. There is pleasure in listening to familiar speakers, in following the shifting scene of familiar activity. We will wonder again at the flow of announcements, at the honors and offices, at the prizes and positions. We will be amused by the faculty, apparently as interested as the Anticipation students. Then will come the moment Greatest at of highest anticipation. We will see Tapping Myskania, itself solemn and deliberate, slowly pursue the choosing of its successor—though well-substantiated rumor has it that this year's "tapping" will be remarkably rapid. The reality of this "tapping" scene could never be reenacted. Then when the cheering dies and the long program is over, there will be the march along student-flanked walks. We will watch the forming of the black figure "40" for the last time by the seniors. Only after the stunts have passed and the sing is in progress will we realize all this, or will we be reminded that the year is really over. Previously we have watched the movingup, but not until the final song "Great Fire" can we realize fully that Moving-Up Day is accompanied by the loss of the Class of 1940. There are those of us who may say that such a ceremony as this can have but little lasting effect, but when we look back, we shall remember little of people, less of their nature. What we shall remember are the days spent in festivities together. We shall recall the festoon of colors and the singing, Page Hall and the Maelstrom, our wonder at it all, and recount the fading details of the four great days in which we moved-up together. * * * * And when it is over, what shall we say? Surely we shall proclaim it a day to remember. There will be those of us who will wonder at the sadness in the realm of success, at fear following in the wake of achievement. We must remember, however, that this day we set aside is more than an hour reserved for demonstration and triumph. Were it only that, it would falter beneath Its weight of sham, for college moves in terms of this event, and the moments which we anticipate In its light, become all too soon a memory. Like a giant May-pole, Moving-Up Day stands Day Stands in the midst of a whirlpool of activity and Like Giant gathers together in one head the many May-pole strings on which we as individuals so lightly frolic. Swinging, we feel the uncertain breeze against our faces, and then, dropping from the whirl, a bit dizzied by it all, watch others snatch our positions. Calmly, then, this May-polo stands, symbolic of universal understanding of that great truth which is so difficult for the individual to fathom—the Omnipotence of transition. Each year we reenact the same roles, apply the same formulas; only the moving line of faces and the rotation of colors give evidence of the changing scene, and only the mounting count of the staked numorala on the lawn outside proclaims the passing of a spent day. This Is the beauty and the lore of tradition. In if we lose ourselves, and disavow, for a time at least, our own impermanence by recognizing and honoring the power of mutability in a burst of festivities. It Is not Moving-Up Pay, however, that creates the changes thai are proclaimed therein. Taken ono by one in their turn, these events would boEvents are come but a series of memoranda upon Key to which we would briefly reflect and forget. Reality Bui gathered together, they bring all of us Into a common key with reality, and impress emphatically upon us the pertinence of the skid of time. Mosi of us are still children In need of parables and pictures, and here in tho pageantry of this day many of us become aware, for the first time, of the power ol Transition. Moving-Up Day in this new light becomes a living mark, a symbol; not against the future alone, but against the past. It becomes In its fulfillment a deathless identification branded upon Time, It stands ulone, supreme and unchallenged, in the realm of a dying year, radiant with a pagan lustre, like that of tho evening star as it tilts on the rim of the horizon to commemorate u day that was. Myskania Traces Nelson Guest Speaker At Muskingum College Eventful Career Starting in 17 On a Friday morning in April of 1917, State College President Abram Rover Brubacher rose in the student assembly, or, as it was then termed, "the Chapel", and told the listening student body that it had been decided that an organization would be formed of students who in the future were to "to take charge of undergraduate life." Professor Walker, who followed President Brubacher on the stage, then read the names of the people who had been chosen by the faculty to serve on the first Myskania. It was a week later, though, that Miss Anna E. Pierce, the Dean of Women of State at that time announced that the name "Myskania" had been chosen for the group, and stated that the meaning of the name would remain a secret to those who were in it. To this day that secret has been kept. Body to Supervise Created to supervise, in the words, of Dr. Brubacher, "the phase of student life which includes student journalism, athletics, social affairs, college traditions, student honors, and preferences," Myskania has in the 25 years of its existence made and revised many traditions. Since the day that it was formed, Myskania has undergone some changes, and most of all, has grown in prestige and power. When first formed, its members were chosen by the faculty. Today each Myskania chooses its successor. The rules that Myskania formulated in the first years of its existence were a heterogeneous set. In the 24 years since its inception, Myskania has come to be the most authoritative student voice in the college. It has come to be a goal for the most ambitious members of each class. It is now an organization composed of the leading figures in the college, of the heads of student activities. Present Myskania Informal This year's Myskania has done more than its share to bring that organization closer to the student body. This morning, the pictures of the members of Myskania are published on the front page of the STATE COI.I.IOCK NEWS, State's scholarship record is well known, and State's genial Dean, Dr. Milton O. Nelson, who has been steeped in our scholatic superiority, has been drafted to speak at various colleges throughout the country on this and pertinent subjects. On May 13, Dr. Nelson spoke at "Scholarship Day" at Muskingum College, New Concord, Ohio, on the topic "Scholarship In America Today." Dr. Nelson's trip was also a reunion with Dr. William M. French, acting Dean of Muskingum College. Dr. French also graduated from State, and was a member of our faculty as Assistant Professor of Education. Walrath Re-Defines Banner Rivalry Rules Myskania has made the following clarifications concerning the banner rivalry. Merrill Walrath, '41, President of the Student Association, speaking for Myskania, explained the situation as follows: "The Freshman class is now in possession of both banners. The situation seems to be confused by the rather ambiguous wording of Sections B, Paragraph lc, and 3a or the rivalry rules which read: 'The contest shall close at midnight of Moving-Up Day and not before. Both banners must be given to the President of Student Association between 12 P. M. and 8 A. M. on the morning of Moving-Up Day . . . Five points shall be awarded to the class successful in obtaining and keeping the banner of the rival class until the close of the contest.' "Myskania has ruled that the freshman class must give both banners lo me between 12 P. M. and 8 A. M. tomorrow morning or lose 5 rivalry points. In fact, the only possible way for the sophomore class to get the 5 points will be for them to gain possession of both banners before 12 P. M. tonight." pRINK PAGES -Moving-Up Day -O- (Continued from page 1, column 5) didates for the Student Association offices. The student body will then file out of the front door of Page Hall, and the four classes will form their class numerals on the campus in front of Page Hall. Following the formation of the class numerals, the seniors will gather to hear the ivy speech which is to be given this year by Louise Snell. After the speech, the ivy is to be planted by the outgoing Senior Class. The afternoon part of the program will commence at 2 P. M. At that time the stunts of the four classes will be presented on the Page Hall stage. Judging the stunts will be Dr. Caroline Lester, Dr. Matie Green, and Mr. Warren Densmore. The sing judges are Miss Helen Curtis, Dr. Margaret Betz, and Mr. Paul G. Bulger. The third part of the Moving-Up Day activities will commence at 7:30 P. M., when the classes will assemble in front of Draper Hall for the step sing. After the songs have been sung, the class winning the skit and song contests will be announced and the rivalry cup will be awarded. Dancing in Page Hall will follow. Morri rns Diiner H.
