'And the New Sun Rose . . .
The past two years have seen the phenomena of student disrespect and distrust of not
only faculty and administration but of their
own chosen officers as well. Many faculty
members in turn in their private discussions
have minced few words in expressing disapproval of certain student actions and attitudes.
In an attempt to patch up these differences,
Myskania has decided upon unprecedented
action.
At a meeting with Dr. Sayles this week,
Myskania suggested the creation of a student-faculty committee to act as a sounding
board and clearing house for all grievances
and problems arising in student and in student-faculty relations.
The committee as proposed will include
the chief class and student activity officers.
It would endeavor to air and iron out matters
of vital interest like Student Union and
undergraduate finance. It would discuss the
housing problems, extra-class activities, even
the curriculum.
Above all, and probably most important
the committee would have absolutely no
power of action, merely that of recommendation. Thus ultimate decision on student affairs would rest solely with the student body.
The groundwork for the establishment of
the committee was carried out in a surprisingly clear atmosphere of mutual trust and
amicability. Dr. Sayles' refusal at a preliminary meeting even to nominate members of
the faculty for committee membership is a
typical instance of the prevailing good faith.
In referring to the naming of faculty members to the committee as a purely student
matter the President set the example for the
conduct of all future meetings.
This year may mark a new era altogether
in the student-faculty relationship.
The faculty, through its spokesman, Dr.
Sayles, has shown that it is willing to cooperate with the student body. The student
body must show through unreserved cooperation that the feeling is mutual.
Union of the People
For those to whom the term is foreign, a
Student Union may be defined as follows:
1. It offers to students and faculty a place
for complete relaxation.
2. It offers facilities for reading (no textbooks), smoking, listening to good music,
bridge playing.
8. ft offers to the activities of the college
a central headquarters,
4. It offers space for lecture and conference rooms.
5. It offers a ballroom for all college dances
and banquets.
6. It offers commuters a place to stay from
the end of classes to the beginning of evening
functions.

see another innovation instituted in
this here ole college of ours. The
mimeographed handbook of WAA
is no more. In its place we are going to receive a printed handbook
which is going to cover all four
seasons in one edition. (This solves
all that consternation of last spring
about the appropriation to WAA for
its handbooks.)
Anita Holm, editor, has planned
an unusual booklet which is going
to surpass any previously put out.
For the first time in ten years pages
will be set up by professional typesetters. Not only that, but this
year's book will serve the Frosh for
the rest of their stay a t State. It
will cover WAA in general instead
of just the seasonal sports. It will
present the Association's constitution, the requirements for credit
in each sports and for annual
awards, and messages from faculty
members and WAA songs.
But besides all this, the handbook
will include a new feature. The last
four pages will be left blank for
the girls to keep a record of their
participation in sports. These records, stamped by the respective
sport captains, will serve as a double
check for ascertaining the Individ
ual's credit. There will also be a

Potter Club continued to literally
stampede the opposition this week
with decisive wins over Kappa Beta
and Sayles Hall by scores of 19-6
and 27-0. Counting Potter's earlier
wins over SLS and KDR by 18-0 and
12-0 scores, Potters has scored a
total of 76 points in four games
while the opposition has been able
to push over only one tally. With
their three easiest games left to be
played it is the concensus that it
should not be difficult to pick the
new football champs at this point.
Potter's ability to capitalize on
the breaks of the game has characterized their every play. Intercepted passes, blocked kicks, long
lightning passes have brought them
victory. Bill Dickson, Tom Feeney,

Sayles Hall found itself unable to
support two teams. Its two squads
were combined necessitating the revision of the entire schedule. The
new team with Red Barnett, Joe
Tassoni, Stan Gipp, and Dick Beach
carrying the attack looks pretty
good at this point and promises
trouble for the rest of the league.

and dalers, the principal one being
lack of interest both by the participants and the student body as a
whole. The teams of previous years
had never received any spectator
support at home contests.
Attempts to organize a team this
fall failed, prompted Bill Dickson
president of MAA, to conclude,
'We feel that this Is the wisest
move, since interest and activity in
a sport are the fundamental bases
for its continuance."
This year's
proposed varsity
squad was severely handicapped
when Bob Cooke, manager, and
Frank Hansen, captain, failed to return to school this fall. Moreover,
Don Demick was hurt during the
summer, leaving only two lettermen,
Bill Miller and Verne Marshall,
sophomores, to carry the burden.
Since new recruits failed to arrive,
there was little or no choice concerning the cross-country situation.
The lack of a suitable training
period for the team as a whole was
probably one of the principal reasons why local harriers had compiled such disasterous records.
In place of cross-country are
plans to extend the intramural program and thus affect a larger portion of the student body. Golf, bowling, volley-ball, ping-pong and soccer are planned. This last sport will
be introduced at State, first in interclass games, and later a soccer
league may be formed.
Owen Bombard, '43, has been
elected
vice-president of MAA
council, replacing the position vacated by Frank Hansen.
Cheerleader-
Turns Tables at Last
To Paraphrase the old proverb; 'you can lead a bull into
the stall, but you can't make
him pen(sive)'.
Don Demick, '44, learned this
lesson from actual experience
this summer. Mr. Demick, an
old cowhand, was returning a
bull that he had raised from a
child, (I mean a calf) to his (the
bull's] stall, when his childhood
companion reared and gored
him. This was no laughing
matter to Mr. Demick, who
spent 11 days in the hospital recovering from this playful jab.
Mr. Demick slates that in the
future he will not only be wary
of girls in red sweaters, but
never again will he be guilty of
"SITTING a BULL."

shirked the thought of writing the
obituary for one of the few remaining manly sports in our college.
Perhaps some of our readers
might be interested in tracing the

State soon boasted a very fine squad
which began to knock down victories
at the expense of spirited competition. But, these men graduated from
the old school and difficulty was
in the offing for the newcomers.
Victories were fewer and interest
slid from the band wagon.
Since 1938 the squad never enjoyed the fruits of victory. Spectators were as scarce as penguins in
Plattsburg. Thus, in 1941 AD, after
a reign of six years, the dusk fell on

Intramural Council found a very
strange problem on its hands the
other day, and seems to have dealt
with it in a very strange manner.
The perplexing situation came up
when it was discovered that the two
newest teams on the football card,
Sayles' Hall and II did not have
enough material to support two good
teams. So—they decided that the
better strategy would be to consolidate the two outfits and make one
concentrated efficient unit. It was
done, but what about the games
already played? How were the
standings to be revised?
The answer came at once, overrule all games played by the two
outfits and compute the standings
based on the other games which
the teams played. But here's the
rub, all the games which the boy's
dorm had played were ruled out—
except two victories.
Well, we can't say that the Council necessarily acted unfairly, because it really was a unique situation. But we have got to hand it
to the boys for clipping things in a
lost manner!
Word lias reached us thai the
first call for varsity basketball will
be issued within a few days.

the boys a.s in former years, but

From Eligible Senior Men;
Interviews End Today
Rhona Ryan
Last week we cast a brief glance
in the direction of a new member of
the faculty—this week for contrast
we present a born and bred "Stater," Mrs. Egelston.
In 1926 New York State College
for Teachers granted Martha Albright a teaching certificate. She
spent two and one-half years in
"lab work" in the history department. She did substitute teaching
in the Albany schools, and taught
for a half year in Callicoon, New
York. In the following year she
came back to State as Instructor in
History, and here she has stayed,
to State's advantage.
Prefers Freshman Class
Mrs. Egelston loves State, and
believes that no other college can
be compared to it. Her favorite class
is perenially the freshman class,
and she always regrets Moving-Up
Day, and the creation of a sophomore class. Though she declares no
other American cities equal Albany,
Mrs. Egelston has traveled over
most of the United States, and a
good part of Europe. Her favorite
city of Europe Is Berlin—the Berlin
of 1927.
Mrs. Egelston admits to several
hobbies—deer
hunting,
tracking
down animals near her summer
camp in the Adirondacks, and reading biographies. Her four and a
half year-old son is her favorite
hunting companion.
Animated History Lectures
So there we have a much too
brief sketch of Mrs. Egelston, whose
lectures on Ancient and Medieval
History are among the clearest
memories of many State College
graduates. This writer recalls a
memorable talk on the conditions
among poor children in eighteenth
century England, and another amusing picture of a young man who
wore jewels and perfume, and curled his raven locks—Julius Caesar.
And this writer also learned too
late that Mrs. Egelston requires
much more than a surface knowledge of history for a good mark in
her classes. Remember that, freshmen, who think that history Is a
snap course like Ryan did. Thought
for the day department.
