Possibility of 5c Milk Remote—
Myskania Will Review Problem
The prospect of 5c milk seems remote today, as the problem has been
tossed by Dr. John M. Sayles, President of the College, squarely back
into the laps of the Myskania investigating committee. This committee
is to investigate the possibility of
the installation of a milk dispensing
machine as the solution to the problem of the rise in the price of milk
from 5c a half-pint to 7c.
The rise in the Annex prices was
the subject of the Student-Faculty
Discussion Group which met Tuesday. Miss Laura Thompson, Manager of the Cafeteria and Annex,
Myskania, honorary campus leadership society, and members of the
faculty and administration were
present to hear opinions viewed. Dr.
Sayles presided.
Miss Thompson spoke in defense
of the rise in prices by remarking
that the operating expenses and the
rise in the cost of food of both
cafeteria and annex required her to
make up her loss by raising the
price of milk.
The solution to the milk problem
as offered by the Myskania committee would be the installation of a
milk dispensing machine which
could provide milk for 5c.
Whether or not the machine could
dispense milk efficiently and whe-

ther it could dispense both chocolate
and white milk a t the same time
were the questions discussed. Miss
Thompson said that there had been
much mechanical trouble with the
former dispensing machine. Also a
machine can hold only 100 bottles
of milk, while Miss Thompson sells
on the average of 300 bottles during
the noon hour. This would mean
refilling the machine three times in
the space of two hours.
Another solution to the problem
suggested would be the lowering of
milk back to its former 5c price and
raising the prices on luxuries. What
those other luxuries would be was
not decided a t the meeting but the
possibility was given to Myskania to
investigate.
Since the rise in milk prices, Miss
Thompson estimates that she sells
1/3 less milk now than formerly.
H o w e v e r , inasmuch as Miss
Thompson estimates that there is a
1 l / 2 c handling charge attached to
each bottle of milk, it seemed evident to some members of the discussion group that if a dispensing
machine could be kept in good mechanical order, Miss Thompson
would realize as much profit from
the sale of milk through the dispensing machine as she now obtains.
Dr. Nelson Buys Flashlight—
Sheds Light on Subject
When the sound of the blackout signal is heard, most people
will run to the nearest sofa and
twiddle their thumbs until the
all-clear signal blows. Confusion
will reign supreme among all as
they grope along by familiar
landmarks.
But Dean Nelson will know
just what he's doing. The other
day he purchased a red-colored
flashlight to use in case of
blackouts. "I've always had a
black-colored one and I never
could find it when I needed it.
So when I saw this red one in a
store window, I bought it," he
said, The Dean hopes this will
shed some light on the subject.

A Message From Whitman
"Listen America—what do you think endures ?
Do you thing a great city endures ?
Or a teeming manufacturing state ? or a prepared constitution ?
Or any chef-d'oeuvres of engineering, forts,
armaments ?
Away! These are not to be cherished for
themselves,
"Long, too long America,
Traveling roads all even and peaceful you
learned from joy and prosperity only.
But now, ah now, to learn from crisis of
anguish; advancing, grappling with direst fate and recoiling not;
And now to conceive and to show the world
what you children en-masse really are!
Long yet your road, fateful flag—long yet
and lined with bloody death,
For the prize I see at issue at last is the world.
"T swear I begin to see the meaning of things:
It is not the earth, it is not America that is
great,
It is I who am great or to be great, it is You,
Underneath all, individuals,
I swear nothing is good to me now that ignores individuals,
The only government is that which makes
minute of individuals,
The whole theory of the universe is directed
unerringly to one single individual —
namely, to You.
"I see flashing that this America is only you
and me,
Its power, weapons, testimony are you and
me,
Its crimes, lies, thefts, defections are you and
me,
Its Congress is you and me, the officers,
capitols, armies, ships are you and me,
Freedom, language, poems, employments,
are you and me,
Past, present, future are you and me.

of religious prejudice was one of the
deciding factors in my choice. I
think such restrictions are wrong,
but understandable. People will always tend to gather in groups with
the same back-ground and thoughts.
Whether there were sororities or
not in State, there would be factions
and cliques. In so large a student
body, it would be impossible to have
one large happy family. Sororities
are the answer to the average person's urge to associate with people
whom he likes or wants to know
better. Also they fill a most important part in the social life of State.
True, many students are never
bid. That is regrettable. Many, of
course, cannot join sororities because of financial reasons. But I
firmly believe that there is no girl
who could not join a sorority if she
really wished to do so. A few looks
at a book on personality development
or even on dressing correctly, though
that's not too important, and any
girl could work wonders. But it's
too easy just not to try, and then to
criticize the sorority system, I'm
being unfair, of course, because
many wonderful girls never have
had an opportunity to be rushed because they must work very hard.
And there's another important
consideration. Sororities cannot suc-
cessfully function, with too large a
membership. There should be more
sororities on campus, and then every
girl who wanted to Join one would
be taken care of. At least, that's my
opinion.
Of course, one usually votes for
a sorority sister at an election. I
joined my sorority, because I liked
the girls in it, and I like them enough
to vote for them. That wouldn't stop
me from voting for another girl I
felt to be more capable. Certainly
I've never been told, nor heard anyone told, to vote for one of the members. I think that the sorority spirit
is a wonderful thing. The last thing
I would criticize would be loyalty or
affection. I'm bound to my "sisters"
by genuine respect and liking, not
by iron chains.
As for prejudice against other
sororities, I can only speak for myself. My theory Is this—a girl joins
a certain group because she feels
most at home there. I respect her
decision, and expect her to respect
mine. I can think of only one girl
in school I honestly dislike and she
isn't in a sorority. Each sorority, as
a group, is pretty swell, I think. Each
brings companionship and happiness
to most of its members and thus
fulfills its purposes.
I don't think sororities are any
more undemocratic than a Women's
Club or the Elks. I've written this
answer because I think the sororities
have taken too much criticism, without enough attention being paid to
their virtues. I hope I've stated the
case clearly enough.

Santa Claus Gate
A Chriitmai Letter
-A.*l.Dear Santa Claus,
It may seem a little foolish to you to have a college
student writing you a letter. People who go to college
are supposed to be old enough to have stopped believing that you exist. So it is—we know you to be
just a product of the imagination. We long ago
stopped believing in you. Still, we are writing you
a letter.
You must realize, Santa, that this is just a whimsy
on our part. We are serious so much of the time,
that every so often we feel like acting as if we were
still capable of believing in someone like you. And
when we really think about it, we must admit that
when we thought you were real, we were a lot happier
than we are now.
When we were children, Santa Claus, we knew that
you were a kind-hearted man who lived at the North
Pole, and no one could tell us differently. We knew
that once a year all good children could write you a
letter asking you for the things they wanted most.
Above all, we knew that they were never disappointed.
Whenever we asked you for something, we got it,
and if we didn't, we knew it was because we weren't
good enough to deserve it, You always came through.
Santa, and we got into the habit of deSanta
pending on you year after year. You lived

wn.
Well, here we are, writing you one more
letter to ask you to give us a few more things. It's a
little different this time, though. We know that we
haven't been good at all, and that we don't deserve
anything; we know that you can't give us the things
for which we ask. Just the same, you've never failed
us before, and it makes us feel a little better to write
to someone on whom we know we can depend.
We suppose that it is right for us to ask for the most
Important things first. A little less than two weeks
ago, our country entered a world-wide war. We haven't
been in it very long, and we haven't suffered very
much yet. Still, we are at war, and we don't like the
feeling we get when we think of it. Santa, the best
thing that you could give us .s a quick peace. We
would prefer that no one had to die on either side,
but since we know that is Impossible, let whatever is
to happen be over with quickly. Peace—that is a gift
that you can give not only us, but the whole world.
Even though there is a war, we're still going to
classes, Santa. That brings up something else for
which we would like to ask—good marks. We are not
so silly as to think that you can give them to us without our doing anything for them, but we do wish
that you would give us some motivation. We nre told
that one must have it to do good work. If wo were
motivated, maybe we would do some studying. If we
studied, maybe we would get some good
marks. We need motivation. Won't you

ask you for something that seems very
important to us—a knowledge of the future. You can
see why we want it. Everything that we do here Is
so uncertain. We don't know whether we shall get

go into the army, or whether we shall get married, or
whether we shall Just sit waiting for something to
happen. It's rather difficult to keep on with your
studies when you have no idea as to why you're doing
It all, or what you will have when you are finished.
Especially so is this true in these troubled times.
Therefore, Santa, please give us an inkling of what
lies ahead,
We could go on asking for gifts from you. There
Is practically no limit to what we want. The less we
ask for, though, the more we might get. We'll stop
here,

we have been fooling no one but ourselves. Even
though we know that we will never get the things we
have asked of you, even though wo know you are just

ask you for If. For a minute or two we can fool ourselves into believing that It Is all true. For a minute,

receiving these days, preparatory to their entrance into the armed forces to fight for the American
way of life. This picture shows only a small contingent of Wisconsin's Reserve Officer Training Corps
cadets lined up at target practice. A special indoor range consisting of 30 targets has been set up
in the armory to accommodate 200 cadets an hour for practice shooting.

War Work With a Future
As much as she needs soldiers to man
her guns, pilots to fly her planes, workers to produce her tools and food, America needs nurses for the home front and
the battle front. With a definite shortage
now existing, at least 55,000 students
must begin their nursing education this
year, if graduate nurses are to be released for army duty without lowering
civilian health standards.
The usefulness of the nursing profession in a war-stricken world will not cease
after Victory is won. Post-war years will
bring enormous problems in feeding and
caring for sick and homeless war victims
— a full-time job for thousands of trained
nurses.
M r . Truster.

This group of Skidmore College
nurses recently received their
caps, started their duties as student nurses.
Students of nursing are taught not only to give first aid in case of air rods
or other war or peace-time emergencies, but also how to deal with amateur
first aiders. Here a group of young nurses adjusts a traction splint on a fellow "victim."

Calm and dependable in emergency operations, a student
nurse threads a suture in a needle, first step in preparation
for a thracheotomy.
Advanced students give the Schick and Dick tests for diphtheria
and scarlet fever to the probationers. By learning to protect their
own health, the nurse gets a vivid lesson in the disease prevention
measures she must teach her patients.
Mail from home brings a smile to
this student nurse's face. It's a highlight in a day of intensive training
- where cigarettes are
judged
The " T - Z O N E " - T a s t e and Throat—is the proving ground for cigarettes. Only your taste and
throat can decide which cigarette tastes best to
you .. . and how it affects your throat. For your
taste and throat are absolutely individual to you.
Based on the experience of millions of smokers, we believe Camels will suit your "T-ZONE"

Dapper Flappers — The bi-annual Varsity Club initiation at

Christmas Carols Lack Bass
Can State women get along
without men? Sorority women
had the opportunity to display
their somewhat dubious independence last night at their annual Christmas parties.
At midnight last night the sorority cinderellas bid adleux to
their dates under clusters of
mistletoe, some of the less subtle
wearing them in their hair.
Hereupon they clenched their
fists preparing to face the supreme test—the "hen party."
First they exchanged such inexpensive gifts as lipsticks —
things with which only women
are bothered. Christmas carols
were then sung without the accompaniment of resounding bass
voices.
At the completion of
festivities, sororities cared little
that State lacks men.
Their
theme song is / f7r/

Fellows Drink Much Milk
Life goes on in a slightly different
way in State's four fraternity houses.
The idiosyncracles of living at Kappa
Delta Rho and Kappa Beta were discussed in a previous issue; now
angles of life at Potter Club and
S L S will be df-seeted.
Six dollars and fifteen cents per
week is the price charged by Potter
Club to each of the sixteen fellows
living at 495 State Street. Every
person in the house has a job to
perform. The boys do their own
cooking, which is limited to one
meal a day. Breakfast and lunch
are eaten elsewhere. Edward Burke,
'42, is house manager, and Bob Selfert, '42, house president. Burke receives his board and room in return
for the services he renders.

A typical meal at Potter Club is
very satisfying. Tomato and lettuce
salad, lamb chops, mashed potatoes,
spinach ( A l i h . milk and fruit jello

Syracuse University's three Byrne brothers, Charles, Matthew and William, all
members of different fraternities, decided to have a barn party for their fraternities
and girl friends. When noses were counted it was not surprising to find some 300
Syracuse students had flocked to the barn. They came dressed in dungarees, hunting clothes, sweaters and sneakers, danced old fashioned square dances, the Virginia Reel and all the others, along with today's Conga and jive. Of course they

Police Offer Students Advice
To Prevent Undertaking Boom
Miss Frieda M. Heller is being employed permanently in the library
school as Assistant Professor of Library Science, her appointment to
be effective February 1, 1942. Miss
Heller received her A.B. degree at
the University of Kentucky, and the
degree of Bachelor of Science and
Library Science and later of Master
of Science at Columbia University
She will replace Miss Mae P.
Webb, who has been employed temporarily in the library school since
February, 1941, and who has resigned from her position, Dr. John
M. Sayles, President of the College,
disclosed recently.
Miss Heller comes to State from
the position of librarian and Associate Professor in the Department of
University Schools at Ohio State
University. She has written many
articles for the American Library
Association, the Ohio State University Press and the University of
Chicago Press. She Is a member of
the Committee To Study Teaching
Materials in Library Instruction of
the American Library Association,
and of the Committee on Book Content of American School Libraries
of the National Council of Teachers
of English.

Use Xmas Themes

es. Just remember that they're warning you of a coming storm (not the
damp type!); and take shelter
"wheresoever you may find it."
Don't hesitate to crawl into the nearest man-hole, cellar window, or iron
mine, After all. "pride comes before
a fall (of a bombi." If you're in the
process of descending the steps of
Draper, you are advised to return to
the realms of Minerva, until the air
is cleared. After all, even the atmosphere of cut and dried stooginess
Is better than that of cutting steel.
If you value your continued existence, find some more (?) work to
do in the library.
The raid's the thing, nowadays
at SCT—or at least the Albany Police Department is afraid it will be.
So. Police Chief William J. Fitzpatrick announced a list of do's and
don'ts last week to be followed by
State wayfarers at the sound of the
vacillating "air raid" sirens. Maid or
man who refuses to heed directions
may causo a boom in the undertaking business.
As soon as the "furrln divlls" wing
into sight, their number Is taken by
the Army Filter Station which Immediately passes on the word to the
Police Department which, in turn,
keeps up the chain by relaying the
news to the Fire Department. Then,
every cruising patrol car will abandon its role of pick-up for that of a
blaring Mercury; and fire trucks,
owlishly inclined heretofore, will add
their car-splitting activity to the
general confusion.
And dormitory rules hold for air
raids, too—no man is to appear above
the first floor of a building or at
Ihe windows. But, strange as it may
seem, basement rooms—the darker,
the better—are urged as places of
safety for all.
And if you're not one of those
on a pilgrimage to the nearest shopping center, but are at home, cooking the results of the last pilgrimage, leave your door unlocked. One
never knows what the raid will wash
in!
Tl's a repeated long and short blast
that means "Duck or disintegrate!"
So. when several noisy fire engines
or police cars go whizzing by, each
headed for different destinations,
don't complain about the uncoopcrativeness of the city's protective forc-

Life goes on in a slightly different
way In State's four fraternity houses.
The ldiosyncracies of living at Kappa
Delta Rho and Kappa Beta were discussed in a previous issue; now
angles of life at Potter Club and
SLS will be di-sected.
Six dollars and fifteen cents per
week is the price charged by Potter
Club to each of the sixteen fellows
living at 495 State Street. Every
person in the house has a job to
perform. The boys do their own
cooking, which is limited to one
meal a day. Breakfast and lunch
are eaten elsewhere. Edward Burke,
'42, is house manager, and Bob Selfert, '42, house president. Burke receives his board and room in return
for the services he renders.
A typical meal at Potter Club is
very satisfying. Tomato and lettuce
salad, lamb chops, mashed potatoes,
spinach (Ah!), milk and fruit Jello
is a good example of a Potter Club
supper menu. Six loaves of bread
are bought each day to suit one
George Miller's appetite.
Potter Club Musical
Potter Club is definitely musical.
Six men play the piano, and Harley
Dingman, '43, can play nearly every
instrument made. Impromptu sings
are high spots of life at Potter. The
vie operates continuously and Glenn
Miller time is always observed.
The EEP boys have abandoned the
practice of playing basketball in the
kitchen with the soup bowl, resorting to football, basketball and baseball games in Washington Park according to the seasons.
PLASH! Everyone at Potter Club
gets up five minutes after his first
class!
Board and room at Sigma Lambda
Sigma is eight dollars per week.
Thirteen dollars per week is paid
out to boys working at the house.
House manager Thorpe DeVoid, '42,
gives out jobs on the basis of need.
Like other managers, DeVoid receives board and room for his work.
"Excellent food" says Eugene
Guarino, '43, and proceeded to list
a typical meal served at 203 Ontario
Street. An entree usually precedes
such items as pear salad, pork chops,
sweet potatoes, corn, applesauce, and
pudding. A quart of milk per day is
allotted to each man, and the fifteen
fellows living at SLS manage to
take care of the milk situation adequately.
SLS Enjoys Bridge
The dormitory system is used at
SLS. The studies on second floor
are largely doubles, with the exception of the largo front room which
houses three people, and one study
which Is a single. The house manager's study is on the first floor.
The Ontario Street boys are bridge
fiends and have lately taken up
Russian Dank. A dart board is part
of the recreational equipment, A
favorite practice at SLS is a (i A. M.
Jam session, featuring singing, piano
and victrola. With such musicians
as Kunz, Reeves, Snow and Marshall, the popularity of singing is
understandable,
The fellows enjoy listening to the
"Inner Sanctum" mystery program.
Definite quiet hours exist, but since
rushing is over, thoy will now be
enforced.
And that's how the masculine
Greeks spend their time away from
the ivied walls of NYSOT.

Police Offer Students Advice
To Prevent Undertaking Boom
by Betty Gravelle
The raid's the thing, nowadays
at SCT—or at least the Albany Police Department is afraid it will be.
So, Police Chief William J. Fltzpatrlck announced a list of do's and
don'ts last week to be followed by
State wayfarers at the sound of the
vacillating "air raid" sirens. Maid or
man who refuses to heed directions
may causs a boom in the undertaking business.
As soon as the "furrln divils" wing
into sight, their number is taken by
the Army Filter Station which immediately passes on the word to the
Police Department which, in turn,
keeps up the chain by relaying the
news to the Fire Department. Then,
every cruising patrol car will abandon its role of pick-up for that of a
blaring Mercury; and fire trucks,
owllshly inclined heretofore, will add
their ear-splitting activity to the
general confusion.
It's a repeated long and short blast
that means "Duck or disintegrate!"
So, when several noisy fire engines
or police cars go whizzing by, each
headed for different destinations,
don't complain about the uncooperativeness of the city's protective forc-
es. Just remember that they're warning you of a coming storm (not the
damp type I); and take shelter
"wheresoever you may find It."
Don't hesitate to crawl into the nearest man-hole, cellar window, or iron
mine. After all, "pride comes before
a fall (of a bomb)." If you're in the
process of descending the steps of
Draper, you are advised to return to
the realms of Minerva, until the air
is cleared. After all, even the atmosphere of cut and dried stooginess
is better than that of cutting steel.
If you value your continued existence, And some more (?) work to
do in the library,
And dormitory rules hold for air
raids, too—no man is to appear above
the first floor of a building or at
the windows. But, strange as it may
seem, basement rooms—the darker,
the better—are urged as places of
safety for all.
And if you're not one of those
on a pilgrimage to the nearest shopping center, but are at home, cooking the results of the last pilgrimage, leave your door unlocked. One
never knows what the raid will wash
in!
Slides, Faculty Discussions
Given A t Various Meetings
Christmas themes provided material for meetings of the various
departmental clubs last week. The
Math Club has made plans for its
next meeting which will be held
after vacation.
Ellen Holly and Margaret Hollinger will present two topics at the
next meeting of the mathematics
club to be held January 6, at 7:30
o'clock. One of these will be "Making Pi Digestible." It is expected
that the meeting will be held in room
101.
At the last meeting of the Classical Club on December twelfth, the
members sang Christmas songs in
Latin and engaged in a discussion
of Saturnalia and its relation to our
Christmas.
The French and Pan Amigos organizations held a joint session last
Wednesday in the lounge. At this
time Dr. Watt Stewart delivered a
speech on South America. He emphasized Christmas in that country
and punctuated his talk with various
slides taken while in South America.
Dr. Stewart, who has spent a Christmas In Lima, Peru, offered his firsthand knowledge to an appreciative
audience,
A lecture was sponsored by Pi
Gamma Mu on Wednesday featuring
Dr. Arthur Pound, State historian,
and Director of the division of Archives and History.

in common for the present: the type
of peace the United States wants
after the war, and what college students can do to help defend their
country."
Hlrsh also stated that another
possible topic for debate would bo
to determine what college students
must do to justify their remaining
In college during the national crisis
and not be called slackers.
Debate Council sponsored a round
table discussion with R.P.I, last
Wednesday. "What College Students
Can Do lo Help in the Present
Crisis" was the subject under discussion, and Verna Snyder and Shirley Wura, juniors, debated for State
College.
On January 13, State will take
part in a round table discussion with
Hamilton College. Muriel Scovell
and Dorothy Iluyck, juniors, will
debate on: "What Should Be the

State Overpowers St. Lawrence
During Final Minutes Of Play
Potter Club's 33-18 win over SLS
last night gave them undisputed
possession of first place in the intramural league. The teams looked
evenly matched for the first half,
Potter leading, 17-10. At the opening of the second half SLS gained
four quick tallies then Potter took
over and was never in danger for
the rest of the contest. Ed. Reed
led the scoring with 12 points.
The KDR - College House game
was a dull affair with neither team
showing much form. At one time
College House led 10-0, but at the
loss of Ruback they slowed up and
eked out a mere 14-9 win.
Potter Club recorded its second
victory of the week when it decisively defeated a Kappa Beta aggrega-
Eagle Quintet Loses
Hard Fought Contest
To Clarkson Cagers
State's Eagles were flying high
when they won a 49-46 victory over
a highly-touted St. Lawrence squad
Wednesday evening on the Page
court. St. Lawrence started the
game with an undefeated record
which listed powerful Colgate among
Its victims.
The Statesmen came from behind
in the thrilling final minutes of
play to win their first game of the
season when Bye Benton sank a foul
shot and followed up with a victory' assuring basket. This win avenged
the previous loss at the hands of
the Larries.
Both teams played a steady brand
of ball during the first half with the
scoring evenly divided. State held
the lead twice but the Larries spurted toward the close of the half to
lead, 22-15, at the intermission.
Eagles Take Lead
St. Lawrence slowly drew ahead
and at one time led by thirteen
points; then State found itself midway through the final quarter and
swiftly closed the gap with Moose
Gerber and Bill Marsland finding
the hoop for important points. With
only minutes to go Bye Benton tied
the count at 46-46 on a foul shot to
the great glee of a hysterical State
crowd. Then Bill Dickson sank a
foul shot to put State in the lead.
Benton tapped in a basket to sew up
the game which ended a few seconds
later with the State students on their
feet shouting themselves hoarse.
Hank Brauner led the team in scoring, as he has done in every game
so far, with eleven points. Dickson
was next with ten points.
Eagles Nosedive
The State College Eagles took a
nosedive last night when they lost
a hard fought game on the Page
court to Clarkson Tech by a 51 to
28 score.
Bill Marsland started the scoring
with two baskets to give State a
shortlived 4-0 lead. The Engineers
then went on a scoring spree to run
up a 20-9 advantage at half time.
Hard playing featured the second
half which found the State quintet
swiftly falling farther and farther
behind the onrushing Engineers.
The outcome was never in doubt as
Finnegan scored fourteen points and
J, Smith twelve to lead Clarkson to
its 51 to 28 victory.
Marsland led State's scoring with
nine points and played his usunl
good defensive game. Brauner tallied seven.

Sports Department Issues Call
For Victory Song Contributions
by Hickey and Soule
"We need a victory song" say the
students in the hall, the men on the
team, and most loudly of all the
sports department. In a poll taken
by this department, the Publications
Office voted unanimously for a victory song.
Of course, a genius whom we shall
call the Nameless One, had to say
"Why do we need a victory song,
we won't use it often enough."
Last Wednesday night, St. Lawrence University came to play an
underdog State College team. When
the final whistle blew, a hysterical
mob jumped up and down yelling its
head off. There was no other way
l-M Bowling League
Leaders Tied For First
Potter Club and SLS are tied for
first place again in the lntra-mural
bowling league, since SLS bowed to
the Ramblers in the last game last
Monday. Both teams now have a
record of eight wins and one loss.
Potter Club won three games from
Sayles Hall on the same day, and
KDR won three from the Ramblers
on Tuesday.
KDR is in second place with four
wins and five losses, the Ramblers
are third with one win and Ave losses, and KB and Sayles Hall are tied
for the cellar position with no wins.
Potter Club still has the high
team average, 718.8 pins. KDR has
second high average, 669 pins,

in which they could express their
feelings. The students longed to
march down the hall singing—but,
no victory song.
The team feels the lack of a song.
Bill Dickson, co-captain, is so enthusiastic that he even offered to
write the lyrics. He tells us that
the team sings constantly on their
way to and from games, and all that
they need is a good victory song to
complete their repertoire.
Every Moving-Up Day, each class
writes four or five songs, but no one
has written a victory song for Mie
college. Because these songs are
of such high calibre, Ira Hlrsh is
positive that State College possesses
plenty of talent to compose a song
that would be worthy of our team.
Hlrsh and Perlman have both offered to write music to any lyrics
given to them. All that is needed
for a song are words and music.
The cheerleaders are ready and
willing to boost the song by all the
means possible. They promised that
the students will be made well aware
of the songs as soon as entries start
coming.
Ed Reed summed up the whole situation when he said "We have the
team; we lack the song."
Freshmen Beat Delhi;

win of the season Wednesday night,

The boys put up a game but losing struggle against the strong YM
CA varsity last night, losing by a
44-18 count. Buck Hipplck accounted
for twelve of the Prosh's points.
The Prosh displayed an effective
defense in notching their first victory at the expense of the Delhi
Aggies last Wednesday, Trailing IBIS at the half, they penetrated the
Delhi zone for 18 points while holding the visitors to one Held and two
foul baskets the second half, Art
Olivet was high man with nine
points, but the win was distinctly
a cooperative enterprise, Warren
Kullnuin sustained a compound nose
fracture but will be ready for action
after the holidays.
In a wild contest that saw 107
points, and 4G fouls committed in 32
minutes of playing time, the powerful Albany Law quintet outscored
the Prosh 57-50 last Friday.

tion, 33-7. Potter outplayed Its opponents throughout the contest and
won handily, compiling a 16-2 lead
at half-time.
After having played the upper
half of the league, the Ramblers
invaded the second division and
emerged victorious in two contests.
With Dan Bucci piling up 16 points,
the commuter squad scored its first
win of the season by outscorlng
Thomas More 33-20. The Ramblers
next encountered the Sayles Hall
boys and again were victorious.
This contest was a see-saw battle
throughout, they however, took the
lead in the final minutes and were
still one point ahead at the final
whistle to win 25-24. Kiley was the
big gun for the winners with 18
points while Woodworth scored 12
for the losers.
Ping Pong Tournament
Nearing Final Games
The ping pong tournament is running like a well-oiled machine, according to Art Flax who is guiding
it through to the finals. The tournament is nearly over, the first three
rounds having already been played
leaving only the semi-finals yet to
be decided. Art Flax hopes that it
can be completed entirely before the
Christmas vacation.
So far three of the four semifinalists have been chosen. Hank
Brauner toppled Carr, and Stiller
beat Bittman to reach that "clutch"
position. Dickson upset Doc Cooke
to reach the half mark.
A Fight Song
Sports fans have come up to us
and asked, Why does State stand
out as a college which lacks one of
the most important elements of ;i
complete sports program — a fight
song?
Today we take up the challenge
and ask the remainder of those
wishing to see our college advance
on the athletic front—why don't we
have a fight song?
A fight song is one written for
the purpose of stimulating action—
to add color to the sports program—
and to add prestige to the institution.
Each year the cheerleaders make
a sincere but ineffectual attempt to
boost the morale of the team by
holding pep rallies which are attended by the curious (and compulsion at chapel) to make everyone
conscious of the fact that we do
have athletes who are giving up
hours and hours of their valuable
time In an effort to notch a place
in the log of sports for their Alma
Mater.
But for constructive purposes,
there is no reason under the sun
(and we DON'T mean the Rising
Sun!) why we can not have a fight
song written—by some of the students. State has the talent. Why
let it go to waste?
We are not asking you to write a
better song—just a song!
Look at Notre Dame, Ohio State,
or Cornell—their songs are sung and
played from coast to coast. Even
State fans must resort to the hairraising Stein Song of the University
of Maine when the spirit so moves.
Therefore, we urge you—in the interests of your college and athletic
teams, to please get together this
Christmas vacation and collaborate,
elaborate, or resort to plagiarism, if
necessary—but someone please bring
back some kind of a musical score—
and we promise you—the State College Band will play it completely
and so loudly that the referees will
have to fire a pistol to be heard!
