Committees For Luncheon
Are Released By Mattice
T h e J u n i o r P r o m of t h e class of
1943, with a n a m e band a n d a forma l coronation theme, is scheduled for
F e b r u a r y 20. D o n R e d m a n ' s recently reorganized band h a s been e n gaged to furnish music from 10 P. M.
to 2 A. M. a t t h e A u r a n i a Club. I n
addition to these attractions, the
price of bids is decidedly lower t h a n
in past years—$2.75 including tax.
Because R e d m a n h a s but recently
reorganized his band, t h e J u n i o r
class was able to h i r i h i m for t h e
a n n u a l dance. R e d m a n h a s done a r r a n g e m e n t s for both Paul W h i t e m a n a n d J i m m y Dorsey, doing D o r sey's Deep Purple, He uses his own
s o n g Chant of the Weed as his
t h e m e . O t h e r musicians agree t h a t
his ideas a n d conceptions a r e u s ually well ahead of t h e times; his
1926 a r r a n g e m e n t s were in the jazz
idiom of 1941. He a n d his H a r l e m
orchestra have been heard on t h e
air waves with the Mills Brothers.
T h e h o t - c h a Harlem maestro h i m self is a n interesting personality. He
is one of t h e shortest orchestra leaders in captivity, measuring only a
little over five feet. R e d m a n is also
a confirmed cigar smoker.
Midnight of February 20 will see
t h e coronation of P r o m Queen,
when one of the live girls n o m i n a t ed yesterday by t h e J u n i o r class will
receive the crown, symbol of sovereignty, from t h e h a n d s of last
year's Queen, Marion Duffy.
J u n i o r luncheon will complete t h e
formal weekend of the class of '43,
and will he held on S a t u r d a y , F e b r u a r y 21, a t Jack's R e s t a u r a n t .
Byron Benton is general chairm a n of the luncheon; Morris G e r ber h a s charge of a r r a n g e m e n t s ;
Marion Adams will be t h e speaker,
a n d Shirley J e n n i n g s is in charge
of place cards. T h e price of t h e
luncheon will be eighty-five cents.
T h i s year the Junior class voted
to dispense with t h e a n n u a l t e a
dance, usually held in the afternoon
following J u n i o r luncheon. Due to
t h e fact t h a t so many members of
t h e class have to work on S a t u r d a y
afternoons, it was decided t h a t t h e
best policy would be n o t to hold t h e
tea d a n c e .

Teachers;
Increase In Living Costs Fails To Effect Wage Rise
Don't be too optimistic, S t a t e
College! T h e fact t h a t a serious
s h o r t a g e of qualified teachers is
t h r e a t e n i n g m a y seem encouraging
on t h e surface. However, one look
a t t h e pictured g r a p h should dispel
all u n d u e e n t h u s i a s m on t h e p a r t of
would-be teachers. T h e m a i n reason
for t h e growing decrease in teachers
is t h e Inadequate salary paid t h e
average member of the teaching
profession today.
in spite of t h e rising cost of living, t h e salaries paid to teachers
have n o t increased proportionally.
Living cost h a s gone up 11%, a n d
food prices have increased 19%. T o
compete witli this, teachers a r e being forced to leave the classroom for
defense industries, t h e National
Commission for t h e Defense of D e mocracy t h r o u g h Education reports.
W h e r e a s t h e incomes of factory
workers have received a n average
30% increase, a n d t h e cash income
from farm products h a s increased
45%, t e a c h e r s ' salaries on t h e whole
have r e m a i n e d static. Few schools
h a v e a t t e m p t e d a n y solution for t h e
situation, a l t h o u g h some cities have
added a 10% "cost of living bonus"
to existing salaries. T h e Oommls-
P«,cfnl
HUUUHM
sion advocates t h a t this system be
used In o t h e r communities.
At t h e p r e s e n t time, there is a l ready a n acuto shortage of teachers
In r u r a l village a n d elementary
schools, particularly In certain s u b ject a r e a s such as science, industrial
arts, a n d business education. T h i s
shortage actually t h r e a t e n s to u n d e r m i n e educational s t a n d a r d s ,
Since m a n y communities h a v e r e duced teacher qualifications to meet
t h e s h o r t a g e , a decrease in t h e quality of school work h a s ensued. D u r ing t h e c u r r e n t year it is expected
t h a t between 5,000 a n d 10,000 e m e r gency certificates will be issued t o
unqualified
a n d partly
trained
teachers.
Corresponding with t h e decrease
in teachers available, t h e enrollment
in t e a c h e r s ' colleges a n d schools of
education h a s also undergone a
m a r k e d drop, declining as m u c h as
20',' in one state.
T h e r e should bo a n average n a tionwide increase of 15% In teaching
salaries, w a r n s
t h e Commission.
S u c h a n increase would tend to hold
m a n y qualified teachers within their
chosen field a n d to Induce s t u d e n t s
to consider teaching as a career,
Otherwise t h e existing shortage in
t e a c h i n g personnel Is certain to b e come worse. Those w h o leave t h e
profession now for better paying
positions a r e a p t to r e m a i n In their
new fields after t h e emergency is
over.
Definite steps m u s t be t a k e n to
relieve t h e situation. T h e C o m m i s sion believes t h a t "the times p e r m i t
a m o r e generous financial s u p p o r t
of t h e schools."

work planned is divided into three
sections: research, writing a n d production. Scripts t u r n e d o u t will be
presented a t Radio Center. Script
content will be based upon t h e m a terial for which t h e Defense Council
asks, T h e m a i n job is t h e general
production angle; acting is t h e second step.
At t h e present time, more people
who can take s h o r t h a n d a r e needed.
This qualification is necessary for
the interview angle of t h e project.
People working in all branches of
service will be interviewed by group
members to d e t e r m i n e w h a t p a r t
civilians c a n play in t h e emergency
program.
T h e m a t e r i a l obtained
through these interviews will be incorporated into scripts a n d p r e sented to t h e station.
S t u d e n t s who h a v e a flair for
writing, d r a m a t i c s or directing will
find ample outlet for these bents in

Scraps For Defense
Plans formulated by the War Activities
Committee for a "Waste Paper Campaign"
are fast reaching completion. Since the College Defense Council has no money with
which to carry on its work, waste paper saved
by individuals and group houses could be
collected and sold, the income used for defense work.
Once plans have definitely been crystallized
and the campaign formally initiated, it is the
duty of each student to cooperate to the fullest possible extent. But in order to make
the campaign an overwhelming success, start
saving now! Aid to the College Defense Program, is aid to the defense program of the
nation as a whole. Waste paper is hot much
to ask or give.
For Greater Efficiency
For weeks the Publications Office has been
deluged each Friday afternoon and Monday
morning by people seeking their copies of the
NEWS. No copies have been available for
them because none were left. One copy of
the NEWS is printed each week for every
holder of a student tax card; and everyone
with a student tax card is entitled to a
News. But undue advantage has been taken
of the liberal circulation policies of the Board.
To insure a fair distribution of the paper,
perforated cards will be handed to every
holder of a student tax ticket anytime this
week. Tables will be set up on Friday opposite
the Hygiene office, in the rotunda of Draper
Hall, and on the balcony of the Commons
where the new cards may be obtained, The
NEWS will be distributed from these three
points every Friday at the close of assembly.
No student may obtain a copy of the
NEWS without presenting the properly dated
stub.
W a r Basis Policy
Today, as the United States settles back
on its feet to prepare for the greatest war
effort in its history, the college newspaper
assumes a greater function than ever before,
Daily, many letters of interest to the students of State College pour into the Publications Office, pointing out what other
colleges are doing, what the government is
doing in the line of training, and what civil
service openings are being made for people
with training. It is the thought of the NEWS
that this sort of information is of great
value to our readers and it will attempt to
devote as much space as possible to it without neglecting the "local" news.
Comments on this policy and suggestions
for new wartime news coverage by this paper
will be welcome.

Semenak Requests Rienow Assails Defense Interrupts 'Grand Old Seniors' Disperse

Where oh where are the grand old

Sahaialhi:
By Htrb Lentktr
"State
College men,
whether
'alums' or undergraduates, who are
fighting for their country, shall not
be forgotten by those back here,
who also serve."
In his write-up of "Gordy" Hand,
Wendell cady expressed Rand's desire to fly In the Air Corps. Friends
will be interested to know lhat the
former editor of the "Echo" and the
"Lion" is now stationed at Maxwell Field as an Aviation Cadet in
the pre-flight school,
"Combat in the air seems to me
the cleanest form of fighting in a
dirty business destined to produce a
decent world." Thus he explained
his reason for transfer, further asserting his wish to fly in offensive
action, not only to defend liberty,
but to establish it for all time.
Rand hopes his sentiment does
not sound like an idealistic newsreel, and he may rest assured that
it does not. He is merely voicing the
thoughts of countless others, who,
modestly but firmly, have dedicated
their lives to the preservation of
the rights of man.
His present address, good till
around March 23rd, is:
A.C. Gordon T. Rand
Squadron E, Class 42-H
Maxwell Field, Alabama
Leaving Rand at Maxwell Field,
we turn to Bob Hertwig, another
member of the class of '39. To most
of us, '39 seems way back when we
were unsophisticated—untouched by
the tinsel glitter of college life.
Bob taught school in Margaretville for two years before volunteering. Serving first with the Coast
Artillery, he was transferred last
November to Headquarters Detachment, Camp Davis, North Carolina.
Corporal Bob has four office workers under his supervision; two sol-
diers, and what he refers to as "two
female typists." It must be a rare
privilege to order two women
around. For Bob, the ratio remains
the same as at State.
While in State, Bob was Managing Editor of the NEWS, member of
Myskania, and engaged in numerous
class activities. I n his brief letter he
claims it is grand to hear from the
school again, adding, "Guess the old
adage about alumni being forgotten
the day after graduation is nearly
true."
Any who wishes to disprove his
statement can do so by writing
Corporal R. E. Hertwig,
Headquarters Detachment,
Station Complement,
Camp Davis, North Carolina.
Incidentally, have you heard the
new version of "Heigh Ho, Heigh
Ho, It's Off to Work We Go"? It
was sung last Saturday night very
loudly by a well known sophomore
in a well known place:
Heigh Ho, Heigh Ho
It's off to work we go
We'll take a crack
At those d
Japs
Heigh Ho, Heigh Ho.
While considering war-humor, one
of Bill Robinson's is too good to let
go by. The 63 year-old tap dancer,
featured with Jimmie Lunceford,
tells of the negro soldier who couldn't fight with a rifle, preferring the
"Harlem-Howitzer."
Creeping up behind a German machine-gun nest, he sprang at the
two occupants, slashing his trusty
razor in the vicinity of the enemies
Adams apples.
"Ha," gutterally laughed one, "You
missed."
"Think so," calmly replied the
ebony patriot. "White Man, try
shakin' yo' head!"
Courtesy A n d Stamps
-CommunicationTo The Editor:
"Any bonds today?" Defense
stamps are at present being sold in
post offices, stores, and schools
throughout the country, including
Milne. But why are defense stamps
not being sold at State College?
State is supposedly doing its part
in this national emergency. Defense
classes have been initiated, yet not
one single organization has undertaken the task of selling defense
stamps to the students of State.
It is the duty of the students and
of the college as a whole to aid in
these purchases but this duty is
being overtly negected. Why hasn't
some organization taken effective
action and set up a Defense Stamp
table? There are few who cannot
spare the small amount of 10 cents
at different intervals. We have the
money, but where are the stamps?
"Betty Bond."
To the Student Body:
It seems to me that if a visiting
basketball team has enough courtesy
to stand stock-still on a basketball
court when we begin to sing the
Alma Mater, our own students who
are late to assembly should have
enough of at least common courtesy
to stand still wherever they may be
until the students have finished
singing the Alma Mater.
Our last assembly evidenced a
most utter neglect of this common
response to our college song. Perhaps the class marshalls could help
by enforcing this unwritten but generally respected tradition so that our
visitors can appreciate some sense
of student respect for their own Alma Mater.
Sincerely,
Ira Jean Hirsh, '42.

SEB Places Twenty-One
•/?.*/.•
On an April day about twenty-odd years ago, a baby
was born. It was the universal opinion of all the
medical attendants that this was no ordinary baby.
Unanimously they agreed that he looked more like
a monkey than anything they had ever seen before.
In those days, when a baby was born, three fairy
godmothers would come, and endow it with gifts
which it was destined to use all its life. And, in
keeping with the custom, three fairy godmothers came
to this baby, and gathered around it.
They had had a bad dinner that day, those godmothers three, and as they stood around the cradle,
they were in no mood to give much of anything away.
They hovered around, first on one wing, and then
on the other, and they looked at each other, saying,
"Well, what shall we give to this prize?"
"Let's give him a satiric outlook," suggested one,
and the others chorused gleefully, "Yes, let's."
"Let's give him ambition," said the second, and the
other two said, "Yes, let's."
"Let's give him a feeling of inferiority and let's
cover it with a lot of noise," urged the third, and her
sisters acquiesced, "Yes, let's."
"Let's give him
" started the first, who thought
her turn had come again, but the other two said, "To
hell with him. We've given him enough

already." Then the three of them flew
away.

As they flew away, the first, still relucTo The Tot
tant to leave without an additional bequest, turned and threw a typewriter into the infant's
lap. The recipient of the fairies' gifts grabbed the
machine, and furiously tapped wtih one finger, "I'll
fix you three dames." Then he wrapped one arm
around his last present, glared at his disappearing
godmothers, and fell asleep.
Of the four gifts that had been given him, he prized
the typrewriter most of all, and as he grew up, he and
it became almost inseparable. He could be found with
it most of the time, writing reams of worthless verbiage, and chuckling to himself.
When he went to school for the first time, he took
the typewriter with him, and he continued to do so
every day. Always was he with it, and always was he
writing with it, and always was he dissatisfied with
what he wrote.
There is a limit to how much any human being can
stand, and eventually he reached the limit. He decided that he had read all of his own stuff that he
could stand. That did not mean that he should stop

(ACP) Two New York State universities, Colgate and Cornell, have
inaugurated new programs on their
campuses to cope with attitudes and
problems arising from the present
world situation.
Cornell University's program will
endeavor to quell war restlessness
among its students. The plan proposes student guidance and counselling, with emphasis on health and
recreation.
Morale Affected
"College authorities have been
concerned," a statement said, "with
the disrupting effects of the world
situation, not only on enrollments
but also on the morale of students
pursuing their normal courses. The
signs of restiveness and uncertainty, as well as the loss of interest of
some students in maintaining high
academic performance, made their
appearance last year."
A counselor of men has been appointed to direct a clearing house
for their problems. He is expected to
give advice on financial aid, personal and vocational problems, social adjustment and student employment.
Psychology Courses Added
Colgate's program involves the addition of a course in "abnormal psychology, organic" to the curriculum
to encourage greater understanding
of and tolerance toward peoples and
nations suffering in the world conflict. The now course, and the revised second semester study of "abnormal psychology, non-organic,"
will be devoted largely to the study
of abnormal reactions resulting from
war situations, according to Dr.
George H. Estabrooks, head of the
psychology department.
Dr. Estabrooks believes that students should understand the mental
disorders growing out of the war,
which will become major problems
of the rehabilitation period.

Potter First Half Victors;
Power More Evenly Divided
Last night, the Page Hall gym
once again resounded with the
thuds of a volley of basketball shots,
and frequent outbursts of yells
which soon subsided to the usual
ball-smacking and the sound of the
referee's whistle.—Intramural basketball was back in circulation.
Ken Johnson and Hal Singer,
chairmen of the league, announced
that the games of the second half
of the schedule will be played in the
evenings instead of the afternoons.
There will be two games scheduled
on Monday and Thursday and also
on Tuesdays, whenever possible.
Potter Tops Scoring
During the first half of the intramural schedule, Potter club, alone,
remained undefeated to lead the
loop. The State Street squad displayed plenty of power in conquering all their opponents handily and
also lead the teams' total scoring
with 257 points. College House
stands second in this respect with
174 points.

The CH squad, assembling almost
a complete new team, showed up
very well, losing but one game, and
that to EEP. Its zone was the
toughest defense to penetrate as it
held its opponents to a total of 112
points. SLS limited their adversaries to 125 points, while Potter permitted 132.
The most disappointing features
of the first round were KB and
KDR. The former squad, predicted
as a potential pennant contender,
slipped miserably, losing four consecutive games after having won
the first three. KDR was also expected to do much better than its
lone win and six losses indicates.
Weak Teams Improve
On the other hand, the Ramblers showed a considerable improvement after losing the first four
games, and can no longer be considered setups for any team in the
league. Sayles Hall and Thomas
More, too, have shown progress, and
it will not be surprising if they win
more games this semester.
It appears, on the whole, that in
the second round, the strength of
the league will be more evenly divided. Potter, however, still looms as
the team to beat. The EEP-College
House contest next week will have
a definite bearing on the final outcome.
Cooke Aids Merritt
In Coaching Frosh Five
The 1942 edition of the freshman

out this week under the surveillance
of their new coach, David "Doc"
Cooke.
Cooke took over when Paul Merritt who had been handling the
freshmen, was declared fit for a
little basketeering on his own. This
order lias since been rescinded, and
Paul will now stay on to aid Cooko.
The new member is a grad student and hails from Buffalo Stato.

.CARL.
Good Headwork
We have every indication that the
new mentor of the frosh outfit is
using his head these days. In fact
we have positive evidence.
Cooke was playing a very aggressive game of ping-pong in the commons the other day, when his
worthwhile opponent, N. Giavelli
walloped a kill shot toward the wall.
The chef made a quick lunge in the
general direction of the ball and not
only did he succeed in hitting the
little white pill, but the fire extinguisher as well. The game was called off, but the extinguisher would
respond to no such order. General
confusion reigned while the boys
squirted the "thing" in all directions.
Cooke is wearing a patch on his
bean, but we're not sure whether it
was the extinguisher or the janitors
that did the job—so, bring on your
incentiary bombs!'

Ed Holstein, captain of the
Ed department, suggests that
girls will probably be necessary
to replace him after he gets tired. Kay Doran objected, saying
she was too reserved to be a "reserve." Flo Gaspary wants to be
"forward."
The Sports department doesn't object to having the girls
serve as subs (not the kind that
sub-merge.) Some even offer to
sit on the bench with the reserves.
The contest will take place
this afternoon at 4:30 P.M. in
the gym.

In a double-header girls' basketball session Wednesday afternoon,
the Western Hall team beat Junipers 15-7, and Newman conquered
Commuters B 42-14. In the evening
game, Dorm B tromped over Dorm C
by a 56-0 score.
In the first afternoon game, Western Hall held Junipers to seven
points by their clever guarding
combination, Drury, Clark, and
Carey. At the half the score was
6-5 in Western's favor. At first,
Junipers had Western confused by a
new pass play, but Western soon
found a way to break through.

up their score despite the Commuters ample guards. The score increased by irregular spurts.

First Broadcasts Include
Present Day Problems
The script production project, another phase of the defense program,
in which many State students will
participate, has begun active work
At present, four committees have
been formed to do research work on
current topics which will be covered
in the first group of broadcasts. Dr.
Robert Rienow, Assistant Professor
of Social Studies, is in charge of
the research work; Dr. William
Hartley, Assistant Professor of Education, will be responsible for the
production of the scripts, and Dr.
Louis Jones, Instructor in English,
will be in charge of the writing of
the scripts. Beatrice Hirsch, '42, is
general chairman of the four committees.
Topics Concern Present Situation
The four subjects which are to be
included in the first broadcasts are
those that deal with topics concerning the present day situation. The
first committee will do research work
on the role which the public library
plays in defense; the second group
will work on posters under Miss
Baldwin's
direction
in
public
schools; the third will deal with
some phase of the salvage problem; the fourth committee will do
research work on the problem of
sugar in regard to substitutes and
ration cards. The chairmen of the
respective committees are: Robert
Bartman, Shirley Wurz, David Slavin, juniors, and Jean Sears, '42.
Two Broadcasts A Week
The general plan of this program
is to have the various groups make
a complete survey on their topic;
upon completion of the research
work the groups will meet on
Thursday evenings to write a script
from the gathered material. The
script will then be handed over to
Defense Council for approval. There
will be two broadcasts a week, one
on Tuesday at 1:30 P.M. and one
on Thursday at 9 P.M.; they will
last for 15 minutes, both over WABY.
The productions will deal with national problems which are also of
local importance.
For some time many college organizations have felt that something
should be done to encourage the
sale of defense stamps to the student body. However, no organization took definite steps to get the
sale started until the administration
took the plan over.
A revolving fund has been established in the Treasurer's Office in
Draper Hall and in the co-op, where
students may purchase stamps at
prices ranging from ten cents up.
When $11!.75 in stamps has been
accumulated, the book of stamps
may be redeemed lor a government
bond worth $25 upon maturity in
ten years. Books will be distributed
to any student upon request.

Her only unforgivable error was

The two one-act plays to be presented by the Advanced Dramatics
Class next Tuesday, February 11,
will be directed by Janet Wood and
Ellen Swartout, juniors.
Miss Wood's play is a tragedy concerning the trials of an eldest
daughter who is forced to push even
love into the background because of
the hardships of keeping the other
members of the family clothed and
fed. Included in the cast are: Betty
Barden, Ethelmay Tozier, Laura
Hughes, Betty Marston, juniors;
James McFeeley and Roderick Fraser, sophomores; and Harold Goldstein, '45.
The cast of Miss Swartout's
fantasy consists of Mary Studebaker
and Lois Hampel, sophomores, and
Betty Taylor and Jacqueline Shaw,
juniors.
Doors will be closed at 8:30 P. M.
and will remain closed until intermission.
rersonneI Staff
Undergoes Change
Whiffen, Creamer Resign
AsThompsonGets Leave
Three changes in the personnel of
the administrative staff were disclosed in an interview with Dr. John
M. Sayles, President of the College.
Jack Whiffen, Chief Engineer, and
George Creamer, Chief Janitor, have
resigned and Laura H. Thompson,
Supervisor of the Cafeteria, has
taken a leave of absence.
The reasons for Whiffen's and
Creamer's resignations are not
known. Dr. Sayles merely said:
"They laid their resignations on my
desk and I accepted them."
Miss Thompson will head a cafeteria at Rhode, Island State College,
a school about the same size as State
but different in that there are more
boys than girls. Miss Thompson
will have been here 21 years on May
1. She is not resigning because she
doesn't want to relinquish her position here until she is sure she likes
her new job.
The cafeteria will continue to operate as is with some supervision
from Dr. Sayles and some from Miss
Fillingham, Instructor of Home Economics in Milne. The administration had only an implied contract
with Miss Thompson—she was not
on the college pay roll.
Mrs. Loretta Carr, the employee
who has been with Miss Thompson
the longest said, "She was tops as a
boss. I'm sorry to see her go."

OPPOSITE THE HIGH SCHOOL
The State College Eagles will go
through a final week of intensive
drill before embarking on the second half of their schedule. The boys
are determined to reverse the results of their rather disappointing
first semester during which they
won two games and lost five.
Hansen Returns
Along with plans for the final
grind comes one item of good news
and two which are not so good.
Frank Hansen, a spark of last year's
team, is back in school and is now
working out with the squad. That's
good, but Paul Merritt, who was
kept off the team by a heart ailment, then received permission to
play and appeared in two games, has
been forbidden by the college physician to continue playing. That's
bad.
Then too, Bob Comb's removal
from the squad for probably a ,veek
while he undergoes medical treatment is not good news either.
Play in New York
With Comb's return to the squad
in time to make the New York trip
next week end and the addition of
Hansen, the team should be in good
condition to meet Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute's highly-touted undefeated quintet and Pratt Institute's ever scrappy squad.
Coach G. E. Hatfield has expressed his intention of giving the underclassmen on the team greater opportunities for action. This will at least
give them experience! He also stated that practice sessions have been
changed to Monday, Tuesday, and
Thursday afternoons.
The Famous V-7
So we warned you. Another member of the basketball squad has now
signed up with the Naval Reserve
and received the well-known V-7.
He is Bill (Deacon) Dickson, valuable co-Captain of the varsity basketball squad. Bill will not have to
go—ladies—until he graduates!
While on the subject of basketball
men, let us not forget to give our
welcome to Prank Hansen, who has
returned to school and has secured
permission to play basketball again.

STATE COLLEGE NEWS, FRIDAY, JANUARY 30, 194S
PAGE 4
At the Newman Club meeting
last night, the Rev. William Cahill,
Professor of Philosophy at the College of Saint Rose, led a round table
discussion on "The Part of the
Church In Education". Supporting
Cahill on either side of the discussion table were Jane Kerl, '42, Shirley Wurz, Clifford Swanson, juniors,
and Marian Sovik, '44.
Newman Club presents its recently
organized Pamphlet Library, containing pamphlets on religious topics. The library already contains
several hundred titles. Students desiring to borrow any of these pamphlets should contact Fred Ferris,
'42, through Student Mail.
Newman Club appointed John Daly, '44, the new Business Manager of
the Neiomanews, to succeed William Tucker, '44, who was recently
appointed treasurer of Newman
Club.
Dr. Milton G. Nelson, Dean of the
College, this week spoke to Maxson
Reeves, President of Interfraternity
Council, about the advisability of
eliminating public demonstration by
the fraternities in carrying out their
customary "Hell Week". Following
agreement to this by fraternity
presidents, Miss Sara Tod DeLaney,
Dean of Women, requested Jean
Sears, President of Intersorority
Council, to ask sorority presidents to
adopt similar measures regarding
their informal initiations.
Rumors Circulated
Rumors to the effect that the administration had definitely banned
"Hell Week" were circulated around
the college. A strong feeling of dissension on the part of pledges and
sorority and fraternity members
alike immediately resulted. The dissenters believed that the elimination
of the customary procedure would
remove an important part of college
life at a time when any extra-curricular diversion is more than welcome.
Nelson feels that it is the duty of
State students to be especially careful of criticism such as has come
from past fraternity and sorority initiations since the college is continually recommending men to the service. It is a time when the nation
and community are serious-minded.
In view of this fact, sorority and fraternity presidents have agreed to
comply with the request of the administration.
Students On Honor
Therefore students have been
thrown upon their honor in regard
to this matter. The administration
has stated that no official edict has
been issued abrogating "Hell Week".
It is entirely up to fraternity and sorority members. Presidents of the
various Greek groups have however largely consented to eliminate
the public phase of their informal
initiations in view of the present
national situation and the important position State College plays in
the eyes of the community.
Fraternities to Honor
Pledges, Departing Men
Fraternity pledges and departing
members will be given special honor
this weekend by three Greek letter
organizations, activities including
vie parties and an initiation banquet.
Bernard Arbit, '43, who Is joining

the Naval Reserve, will be honored

of the fraternity and the Pledge
Duty Enforcement Committee have
been invited to attend the celebration.

William Hartley, Assistant Professor
of Education, will be after-dinner
