The annual report of the Student
Employment Bureau for the fiscal
year October 1, 1940 to September
30, 1941 disclosed the fact that 122
members of the class of 1941 were
placed. This figure represents 55%
of the seniors registered compared
with 33% placed in 1940.
The Employment Bureau succeeded in securing 392 teaching placements altogether during the past
year. The number of experienced
teachers placed in large schools was
139. Two hundred and one placed
were without previous teaching experience. One hundred and fifty-two
of these students were graduated
from SbJte or received their master's
degree from State last June. The
remaining 49 were former graduates
of State who had not been placed
since their graduation.
Twenty-Seven Substitutes
In addition to the above teacher
placements, 25 people were placed
in other than teaching positions.
Twenty-seven were placed in substitute teaching positions which
range from a few days to a semester's employment.
Of the 201 students who received
Bachelor of Arts degrees in June,
1941, 21 are unemployed; 2 are doing substitute teaching; 11 are in
the army; 21 have not reported; 2
are married; 35 are engaged in

not reported; 12 have other than
teaching positions, l is engaged in

This accounts for 253 students who
completed the teaching course in
June, 1941.

Freshmen Choose
Garfall President
O n First Revote
Women Repeat Capture
Of Majority of Offices
Following the precedent set by
the Class of '44, the freshmen class
chose Florence Garfall as its president, and women captured the majority of offices. Curtis Pfaff was
elected Vice-President, Betty Itowell, Secretary, and Gordon Baskin, Treasurer. The regular election was held Monday in the Commons, supervised by Myskania, senior campus leadership society. Revotes were held Tuesday and
Thursday.
The freshmen women, fearing
the threat of male domination in
their class, united. On the first election with the men's vote split many
ways, the presidency narrowed
down to a choice between Peggy
Dee, backed by Pierce Hall, and
Garfall, supported among others
by Newman Hall. The result was a
question of which way the men's
dorm would vote and the revote
shows that Garfall was their choice.

Kathleen Martin, and Barbara Kerlin, juniors, will present two comedies in the Page Hall auditorium
Tuesday at 8:30 P. M.
Miss Martin's play promises to be
a sophisticated portrayal of the subterfuges at the court of an ancient,
Pharoah (James McFeeley, '44). Tiring of his queen 'Jane Curtis, '43),
the Pharoah plots to do away with
her and substitute in her place the
enticing young woman who has currently captured his fancy (June
Melville, '43). However, he misjudges
the cleverness of his wife who
adroitly turns the tables on her rival.
The play directed by Miss Kerlin
is an entertaining family comedy
with its setting in the lower middleclass home of Henry Slater, a meek
and henpecked husband (Art Collins, '45), and his grasping, dominating wife (Vera Willard, '44). Their

All-State Hop
Sets High Mark
In Sale of Bids
With fifty-nine bids sold Monday,
the first day of sales, the All-State
dance appears to be heading toward
success. All-State is an experiment
which, if successful, will bring an
annual repetition. In the last few
years, Senior Hop has been a financial failure. But, this year, State's
big fall formal has new and different features to make it attractive.
In the first place, it's not a formal; it's a semi-formal. Secondly,
the price of the bids is at a low
ebb—one dollar per couple plus ten
cents tax. The principal innovation of the dance is the double-orchestra, double-dance-hall feature.
The gymnasium of Sayles Hall, the
newly completed men's dorm, will
be the center of activity where Bob
Reid and his orchestra are scheduled to reign. A temporary boardwalk from Sayles Hall will lead to
Pierce Hall and the well-known
Ingle Room. Here Bill Grattan is
to direct an evening of rhythm.
Arrangements are being made for
the convenience of the dance-goers
by selling "cokes" hi both halls.
At least two hundred couples are
expected to attend the All-State
dance, tonight, according to Paul
Merritt, '42. Tire administration has
shown more than usual enthusiasm
in the novel affair.
Chaperones will be: Dr. Howard
DoBell, Mr. Paul Bulger, Mr-. G.
Eliot Hatfield and Mr. Louis C.
Jones.
Sorority H o u s e Dances
To complete the All-Stale
weekend, the seven sororities
will hold their annual fall house
dances from 9 to 1 tomorrow
night. The dances will be semiformal, and couples will promenade from one sorority house
to another. Music for several
of the dances will be furnished
by orchestras while other sororities will use "vies."
Albany FBI Agent
Lectures In Assembly
Arthur Cornelius Jr., new special
agent in charge of the Albany office of the FBI, spoke in this morning's assembly of the important
role the Federal agents play in national defense.
According to Mr. Cornelius, never
before has this government been so
prepared to meet the crisis facing
the nation in regard to fifth columnist affairs. Through its preparedness and constant outlook for sabotage, the FBI has been able to
check any such activities. This
morning's speaker is in charge of
the training of police executives in
civilian defense which will begin in
Albany Monday.
Ralph Tibbets, President of Student Association, informed the rivalry classes that the girls' banner

Sayles, President of the College,
stated in an exclusive Interview
with
the
STATU
COLLEGE
NEWS
this week. A Nuws reporter met
with the President to talk over
questions and topics of general in-
terest to the student body. The
use of the Lounge and the accessibility of the men's dorm to male
commuters were among the subjects on which Dr. Sayles commented.
As far as Dr. Sayles knows, the
dorm has never been locked to
male commuters, although such a
case has been reported. The President sees no reason why the Memorial Lounge should be open to
State College any more than the
Green Room of Pierce Hall. The
questions will have to be taken up
with the administration.
When asked his opinion of the
student - faculty discussion group,
Dr. Sayles declared that h-i is much
pleased with the idea. "I think the
plan affords a very fine opportunity for the students. It will be a
general clearing house for matters
of trouble of the student body. The
problems will be presented in open
meetings, and both faculty and students will offer suggestions. Thus
both the administrative and undergraduate sides will be heard."
Dr. Sayles Is very much pleased
with the job done in cleaning up
State College. He has received
comments from all sides on the
improvement in appearance of the
entire school. Evidently the students have taken the slogan "Keep
It Clean" to heart.

The STATE COLLEGE N E W S assumes no responsibility
for opinions expressed In Its columns or communications,
as such expressions do not necessarily reflect its view.
A Leading Question
How long can fraternities and a men's
dormitory exist together on the State College
campus? Unless the number of non-commuting men increases (and this is highly improbable), or else a compromise be reached,
one of the two must inevitably collapse. Needless to say, it will not be the dormitory.
Sayles Hall has a capacity of 134 men. Today more than half of the building is empty,
The building must have more occupants;
there are enough men living in the four fraternity houses and College House to make up
that deficiency.
But emptying fraternity houses means
strangling the fraternities. Students of this
college are much too fraternity conscious today to give up, without a struggle, the fraternity tradition. The ensuing row would probably spread to involve fraternity alumni
throughout the state.
If the men's housing problem is ever to be
solved, work on the solution must begin immediately. Both parties, the Alumni Association and the Administration, as well as representatives from the fraternities, should approach the problem with a compromise plan
in mind.
Fraternities, if they mean to survive, must
realize that the best they can hope for is a
compromise. Without one, the fraternity at
State College is doomed.
Therefore, the initial step should come from
the fraternities themselves. Ugly as the
thought may IK;, it is they who are now on
trial, not Sayles Hall. Interfraternity Council should move immediately by organizing a
committee to study the problem. The Student-Faculty Discussion Group as well should
look for a solution at its meetings.
Regardless of one's opinion of fraternities,
they are a social institution at State College.
Regardless of what one thinks of the
dormitory, it is here to stay.
Strictly Business
I!
1 i
Turnabout is fair play. Advertising, one of
the most important sources of revenue for
the STATE COLLEGE NEWS, depends on
the amount of purchases by students. It is
not a courtesy on the part of the advertisers.
It represents a business proposition, a profitable venture,
By investing in those concerns which advertise, students are in turn investing in the
NEWS. These concerns, through the medium
of advertising, contribute to the publication
of a better paper at lower cost for the members of the student body. But to maintain
and increase this source of revenue, a reciprocal line of trade must be set up.
If six-page issues of the NEWS are to be
continued, advertising must be increased.
Local businessmen must realize that advertising in the NEWS will yield profits by increasing student sales. There is one way in
which this can be accomplished: patronize
these advertisers. Mention State College.
Mention the STATE COLLEGE NEWS.
A Tribute To Talent—
-Bernadette L. SullivanThere Is but one criticism to be
made of the plays presented in Page
Hall Auditorium last Tuesday night.
To wit: they were not long enough.
The audience was generous in its
reception of the offerings; it could
not have been otherwise.
In the leading role of the Irish
tragedy, Gertrude Gold made her
first appearance on the State stage.
Miss Gold was practically letter perfect in her characterization. She
looked old, she walked old, she
thought old, she was old. It required
little imagination to see in her an
Irish woman bowed down by the loss
cf her husband and six sons.
The supporting players caught the
infectious mocd of Miss Gold's portrayal. Betty Marston and Lois
Hampel warmed to their roles alter
a few minutes of rather slow dialogue and action.
One weakness of the play was the
prolonged walling scene at the end.
Neither actors nor direction could
make it more acceptable.
No greater compliment could be
payed to Ethel Tozier's direction
than the complete sympathy of those
attending the productions. It is the
first time in the memory of the
writer that the presence of a corpse
on the stage did not bring forth a
few sly snickers. Let it be hoped
that John Lubny will follow up his
very real cadaver with something a
little more lifelike.
In direct contrast to the tensj
drama of Miss Tozier's play was the
comedy directed by Nodie Davis. The
set elicited a spontaneous burst of
applause; the ensuing dialogue, more
than one spontaneous hurst of
laughter.
As usual, P.iul Barselou did not
disappoint his public. Unfortunately
his stage placement was bad. The
important lines which he had to
deliver would havs b e n much more
effective if he had been facing the
audience. A fine comedy sense was
displayed by Hal Ashworth. His
lines were quickly picked up, never
lost or drowned out by a laugh.
In the feminine roles, June Melville and Trece Aney were more
than adequate. Miss Melville's makeup and costume were in good contrast to Miss Aney's appealing
ingenue.
For once an announced eightthirty curtain went up at eightthirty. This will be the starting time
for all future plays and promptness
Is promised.
The influence of the Chekhov
players was quite evident in the numerous "stage pictures," especially
in the first play. A bit more practice
is needed to avoid a certain stiffness
in the motion of the actors. Nevertheless, it is an innovation which
should be utilized by the director;;
of the coming plays.
Between the plays, a collection
was taken to help defer the cost
of the plays. The audience responded generously and this system
is to be used in the future.

Don't look now, but fashion, true
to form, is pulling another double
cross on her daughters. Remember
the chic jobs of the World War era,
the daring sophistication of the
hobble skirt, well down to the ankle,
and the recklessness of the slit evening gown, revealing a la Mata
Hari, a glimpse of black-stockinged
leg? Remember the long afternoon
dress and ankle length evening
gowns? They're ganging up on you
again. Fashion is attempting to
drag them out of mothballs to inflict on an innocent following.
Skirts Go Down
Ominously, the last word has it
that skirt lengths, once more, shall
go down. Are State's maidens going
to let down their hems. Will the
dimpled knee below a swing skirt
still hold its own?
Bonwit Teller's advertisement last
Sunday featured such charming
models as the plunging, or uneven,
hemline, the hobble skirt — "very
1915," and the angle length dancing
dirndl.
If it's national defense they have
in mind, certainly they're on the
right track. Barbed wire could be
no more effective than the hobble
skirt when it comes to warding off
undesirables. Is it possible that the
All-Stale Dance will lind State
glamour girls daringly clad in slit
skirts. If so, the hobble skirt will
be here In time for Interfraternity
Ball.
Hems Again Hani;
As for the uneven hemline, here
you spend precious hours trying to
make your skirts hang evenly, and
now the motto seems to be "just
don't give a hung about it." Another thing, if this trend persists,
it's going to be hard on the males
too since the normal reaction to the
uneven hemline is "Pardon me, madame, but your slip is showing."
Perhaps we can rely upon the conservaliveness of State girls lo spurn
fashion whims. The fellows must
have some Influence!

Sahaiaiki:
The Beautiful Room
With the Silence
Once in a faraway land,
There was a place where young men and women
Went in order to enrich their minds,
And to acquire culture.
The place to which they went was called a University
For want of a better name.
When its Founders built the University,
They constructed many and varied buildings.
They provided a place to go to lectures.
They provided a place to cultivate leisure.
They provided a place to dance, and a place to play.
And finally, they provided a place to study.
So that many students might use it,
They took a big room.
So that those using it might see well,
They built it with many enormous windows.
So that everyone might sit in comfort.
They provided a multitude of chairs and tables.
And so that the materials for study might not lie
lacking,
They bought a multiplicity of books.
When all that had been done,
They looked at their work and they thought:
"Lei us make it beautiful,
"So thai more people may come and read here."
They took the enormous windows that they had built
To let in the light for the readers,
And they put wonderful stained glass pictures in
them—
Pictures which were very lovely.
But which kept out all the light.
They installed beautiful chandeliers,
Which failed lo pass every Adequate Lighting Test
Ever devised.
They took the walls
And they painted murals on them,
And to be sure that everyone understood
What the murals meant,
They put captions under them, explaining their
significance —
But they wrote the captions with grammatical errors,
Because no one would see them but the students,
And the students would never notice the mistakes.
They took the books that they had collected,
And arranged them so that no one could find them.
Then they said,
"Now we are ready. Let the throngs enter."
The throngs did not enter.
Statisticians went to work.
After many arduous computations they announced
That the look of desolation was caused
By the fact that only one student in ten
Ever went there.
The Founders had a pow-wow.
"The main object of this room," they said,
"Is to furnish a place to study,
"In order to study, one must have quiet.
"Therefore, we will insure absolute silence."
The Founders went out and hired a staff
Whose only purpose was to walk around saying,
To all people whom they saw even whispering
"We are trying lo enforce quiet so thai, people may
study.
"If you wish to talk,
"We will have to ask you to step outside."
The throngs still did not enter.
The Founders continued to ponder.
The beautiful windows still shut out the light.
The stair maintained the utmost quiet,
The students kept away.
The ones that didn't keep away
Would go in to study.
Bui the silence would be so intense and so peaceful,
That, as one. they would fall asleep,
bcautil ill room
Thus preserving the silence.
Pew of them studied,
And even fewer enjoyed the
Willi the beautiful windows
And the beautiful chandeliers
And the beautiful murals
And the beautiful silence
And the staff,

Semanek Plays 'Eye' Role
In History of SEB Desk
Desks do have personalities
and their histories are important! At least, that's what Miss
Irene Semanek, assistant director of the SEB, will tell you.
In her office is an old oakwocd desk, which occupies approximately one-half of the
room. It formerly belonged to
such illustrious gentlemen as Dr.
Andrew Sloane Draoer, former
Commissioner of Education, Dr.
Abram Brubacher, and Dr. John
M. Sayles.
Now for the first time in its
long history of service, it is being used by a woman, and Miss
Semanek is proud of the fact.
She laughingly asserts that she
would like to place on this desk
a sign "First Woman Owner."

November n Clips Club,
Club Hooiii, Siiykiti Hall,
Mr. Edward L . Cooper, Faculty
Advisor of Student Board of Finance, this week announced the appointment of Ellen Delfs, '43, as Student Auditor, This appointment is
the result of the resolution passed
in assembly, October 10, for an appropriation to pay for the services
of an auditor to examine the books
of all Student Association organizations. The auditing plan originated
with the Myskania suggestion that
Finance Board investigate possibilities of setting up a uniform bookkeeping system.
The success of the proposal vill
be revealed through its rfleci upon
the student budget. It is hoprJ that
"padding" will be eliminated through
the establishment oi a standard
system.
Student tax sales are mounting,
Mr. Cooper states. To date, 909
tickets have been sold. Seniors lead
the list of delinquents with eleven
students lacking tickets. Outstanding in the junior class are five; in
the sophomore class, ten. Freshmen have responded better than
any other class with all but one
student In possession of a tickel.
If a senior is for any reason repeating a semester, lie is not expected to purchase a ticket so long
as he has paid four years' student
tax.
As yet, there has been no thorough investigation of student lax
delinquency.
Sculptress to Appear
In First D & A Program
Madame Suzanne Silvercruys, famous Belgian sculptress, will bring
to the students of State College a
new form of entertainment when
she appears in Page Hall auditorium on November 17 at 8:30. Sheis coming under the auspices of the
Dramatics and Arts Association as
its first presentation of the fall
season.
Her lecture will be very unusual
in that she will select some person
from the audience and model them
while she speaks on the outstanding points of sculpturing.
Madame Silvercruys has recently
completed the busts of the Dlonne
quintuplets and of Dr. Allan Roy
Dafoe. She is the first sculptress
lo have the quints as living models.
Other eminent personalities who
have served as models for her are:
Katherine Hepburn, Jack Denipsey.
James Truslow Adams, and Prime
Ministers Henri Jasper and Paul
van Zuland of Belgium. This distinguished sculptress has lie e n
awarded many prizes for her on' standing work In this field

the present war between China and
Japan and has seen the deplorable
sights brought about by this war.
She has gathered considerable data
in regard to the living conditions of
the Chinese and Japanese people
during the war years.
By Mary Betty Stengel
In an effort to extend the scope
of the Student Employment Bureau, Mr. Paul Bulger, Assistant
Principal of Milne and Director of
the Student Employment Bureau,
has journeyed to a Syracuse meeting of the School Board Members
Association.
Representing State College, Mr.
Bulger intends to make contacts
with principals present at the conference, who plan to hire new
teachers, with the hope that they
may become interested In the students of this college as prospective
teachers.
Three graduates who have recently obtained positions through
the Bureau are: Edith Cutting, '38,
librarian, North Haven, Connecticut; Adeline De Carlo, '40, commerce, Forestport, New York; and
Dora De Michele, '41, New York
State Laboratory Assistant.
SEB is proud to announce that
a total of $22,132.04 has been saved
by experienced and Inexperienced
teachers alike, who otherwise would
have been obliged to pay commercial agencies 5 percent of their
firsl year's salaries.
"There must be more eligible
males around State these days!" exclaimed Mrs. William Corwlth, '18.
The former Doris Sweet, vice-president of the class of '18, was amazed
that so many State girls go with
men from State. Down In the Commons she confided that there were
"a lot more men around,"
Mrs, Corwlth spoke in last Friday's assembly not only as a State
grad, but as the National Broadcasting Company's Assistant to Public
Service Counsellor, Dr. James R.
Angell. Judging from the amount of
applause she received, Mrs. Corwlth
"made a hit" with the student body
as a whole. She herself remarked
that her audience at Stale was much
more polite than some of those she
has encountered in her visits to colleges all over the country..
Later Mrs. Corwlth expressed the
hope that she really put across the
challenge she intended when she
told of state control of radio in
countries like Germany. "Radio has
made Americans the best informed
people in the world."
During the years since her graduation from Stat.e she taught for sev-
eral years in secondary schools, went
abroad, and rose to a position of importance in NBC, Yet she laments
that at class reunions she has nothing to talk about. "The others all
talk about teaching or their families!"
Mrs.
Corwlth remarked upon
many changes in State and s t a t e
life since the days of '18. In Richardson and Page Halls, she felt
"lost" and the Commons seemed
"different," (The Commons used to
be over In Huested In those days!)
Differences in the social code were
noticed in the number of girls who
smoked.
Mrs. Corwlth regards
changes in sorority rush rules as
definitely "drastic."
Mrs. Corwlth must have expected
to see all State's co-eds in saddles
and socks for she said, "I'm surprised to see the girls dressed up In
silk stockings and high heels!"
Though Mrs. Corwlth attended
State for only her last two years,
she was a popular student. (The
most musical too, according to the
'18 Pedagogue.)
After assembly
several underclassmen approached
Mrs. Corwlth. Their mothers and
fathers went to State with her!

methods of financing it will be held
at the first group meeting on Tuesday afternoon 4 P. M. In the Lounge.
Addition of five dollars to the
price of student tax tickets is one
of the methods suggested for solution of the financial problem. Another plan involves cutting the student association budget by the sum
of $5000, which would mean more
than a 33 1-3 percent cut for each
activity. This method has the support of many people who believe
the budget Is excessively padded. Dr.
Sayles is unwilling to see too high
a student tax, since It would entail
a further financial sacrifice on the
part of the students.
All meetings of the discussion
group will lie public. Myskania believes thai if the meetings prove
successful, they will be the most
important step in student-faculty
relations .since the founding of the
campus leadership society in 1017.

Thompson to Plan
Better Sandwiches
For Concessions
Increased Operating Costs
Affect Annex Cafeteria
In response to the plan for investigation of annex and cafeteria
prices, Miss Laura Thompson, manager of the two concessions, disclosed that the Annex plans to supply more filling sandwiches in the
future. She feels that most of the
students do not realize that other
things beside actual cost of food
enter into the operation of the
annex and cafeteria.
"Equipment for preparing food
must be kept up and new equipment bought," she explained. At
the beginning of the year, a new
dishwasher, steam table and a refrigerator unit were installed. The
refrigerator unit alone cost $390.
The installation of these was essential, since the old equipment was
giving out. Small kitchen items also
had to be purchased.
Operating on Small Profit
Besides the equipment, salaries
arc paid to student help, taking $4;)
a week out of the $125 allotted to
pay employees. Operation is conducted on a very small profit.
Actual food costs have also increased greatly. Eggs, for example,
have gone up to fifty or fifty-five
cents a dozen, and ham costs 51
cents per pound. "A profit of only
three and a half cents is made on
each bottle of milk," Miss Thompson said. Other items correspond
in cost; soap powder sells for $50
in the bulk lots the annex buys, and
oil has doubled in price.
Delivery Adds To Cigarette Cost
As for cigarettes, Miss Thompson
explains the reason for their selling at one cent more per pack than
the Co-op. The Annex buys cigarettes from a firm which delivers
them, while the Co-op obtains cigarettes direct from the store, thus
eliminating the delivery cost.
Tomato and bacon sandwiches in
the future will contain two slices
of tomato and one slice of bacon,
Miss Thompson said. The management of the annex and cafeteria
welcomes student opinion and wants
to know when they are dissatisfied.
Orchestra Rehearsal Sunday

This department wants to extend
its heartiest congratulations to Flo
Garfall for her great victory m the
WAA tennis tourney. Despite obstacles of schedules and weather,
she was able to complete her contests and can look forward to seeing
her name inscribed upon the silver
cup recording for posterity the
names of WAA's tennis champs.
After being met as usual by the
faithful "De Witt"—the grocery boy
with a battered but serviceable truck
which carts both blanket rolls and
girls up the long hill to Camp Johnston—State College's female Daniel
Bonnes entered the solid cabin to
discover a great loss. (Something is
always missing, you know.) This
time it was the venerable and dearly beloved vie. It was gone—where
to no one knew—and all that remained was a broken record on the
hillside—appropriately entitled "Going, Going, Gone"!

Florence Garfall beat Nora Giavelli in two close sets, 7-5, 7-5, Friday afternoon to annex the title in
the Women's Athletic Association's
Tennis Tournament. This history
making match was the first one to
reach the finalist stage in any tourney since 1937, and aroused much interest among the members of the
student body.
Nora served first, exhibiting the
power that has established her reputation in Albany tennis circles. After the first game taken by Flo,
Nora won five in a row. However,
Flo fought back, and captured six
straight to win the set 7-5. It was
hard won as each point went to
deuce and then add.
The second set increased in speed
and import. Cautious volleying was
abandoned as Flo sent over balls
with a terrific cut on them. Nora
had to run up to meet the ball, but
held her own by superb cross court
shots. The girls took their services
and the score went to 4-4, then 5-5,
with the ball going over the net
with more force than ever. The airtight game of Garfall gave her a
7-5 victory in the second set. The
match lasted I'M hours, demonstrating the stamina of the girls.
Captain Lois Hafley reports that
at least fifteen girls will receive
credit for tennis as a Fall sport.

The State College Symphony Orchestra will present a lecture demonstration at the Albany Women's
Club, Monday afternoon. The program almost met disaster when the
absence of a dozen violinists frustrated the rehearsal. It was therefore decided to hold a special rehearsal at 2 P. M. in Vincentlan Institute on Sunday. "For once the
orchestra must come first. Members
must attend," st.ited Bernard Perlman, Conductor.

KDR, SLS Plan
Weekend Parties
Firemen's Ball, KDR'cade
Will Hi3hli3ht Rush Events
Kappa Delta Rho and Sigma
Lambda Sigma, State College fraternities, will highlight their social
activities with rush parties this
weekend.
Kappa Delta Rho will present a
KDR'cade, which will take place at
the fraternity house Friday evening
from 8 until 12 P.M. The theme of
the party will emphasize a carnival
spirit. Bazaars will be erected, some
of which will feature a pop-corn
concession, penny-pitching, and a
shooting gillery. State women will
add to the evening by serving as
coat checkers and bartenders. There
will also be dancing during the
evening. "The KDR'cade will emphasize informal relaxation from
the strains of college life," states
Herb Leneker, '43, social chairman.
The party, which is KDR's first contribution to State's social rushing,
is under the general chairmanship
of Frederick Beyer, '44.
The annual firemen's ball, presented by SLS, will take place Saturday evening in the old Slingerland's firehouse, where there will be
dancing to the music of Bill Grattan and his orchestra and square
dancing to the SLS Hotshots, featuring George Kunz and George Jacobs, jui lors. Bob Mason, '45, will
call the dances.
Brubacher Lounge
Is Open Nights
Income From Sayles Hall
Limits Use of Memorial
The impression given last week in
the STATU COLLEGE NEWS that gen-
eral use of the Brubacher Memorial
Lounge by the entire student body
was being questioned was erroneous
and needs clarification.
The Brubacher Memorial Lounge
cannot be opened to the student
body in the day-time until there is
an adequate personnel staff at
Sayles Hall. This statement was
released by A. Harry Passow, '42,
Chairman of the Committee for
Raising Funds for the Equipment in
the Lounge, after a conference with
Dr. John M. Sayles, President of
the College, Mrs. Bertha E. Brimmer, Executive Secretary of the
Alumni Association, and Mr. Paul G.
Bulger, Director of Sayles Hall.
Sayles Hall was originally planned
to house 134 men. Since there are
now 51 in the building, the income
from such a minimum number does
not provide funds for an adequate
staff of caretakers, such as there are
at Pierce Hall. During the day, Mr.
Bulger, the director, is busy in
Milne High School, and all the residents are attending classes. Since
a $300,000 building could not possibly be left open, it has been decided to keep the doors of Sayles
Hall locked during the day time. All
members of the student body may
use the Lounge during the evening
hours after dinner, in the same way
as the Ingle Room is used.
Student Association money —
$504.85, contributed to the purchase
of about 30% of the furniture in
the Lounge. In any of the appropriation given to furnish the
Lounge, there was no provision
made for cleaning or for depreciation of the furniture. Since $1.50 a
day is needed to clean the Lounge

Commission Suggests
Plans For Maintenance
O f Farrell Residence
"Before the idea of a Student
Union is brought before the student
body of State College, a complete
and thorough investigation of the
actual cost of furnishing and maintaining such a building should be
made." This was the opinion expressed by Dr. Milton G. Nelson,
Dean of the College, at the first
meeting of the faculty-student discussion group held Tuesday a t 4:30
P. M. in the Lounge. Those present
were activity heads, faculty members and a few independent students.
Dr. Nelson's statement followed
the suggestion of Fred Ferris, '42,
representative of Forum and Newman Club, that student opinion
should be solicited as to whether a
Student Union is needed or desired
by the students.
