rummer Session
To Begin July 6
Social Studies Program
Follows New Trends
T h e Summer Session a t State College will begin July 6 and will c o n t i n u e until August IB. Many courses
h a v e been added to the summer curriculum which do not appear in the
regular session. T h e greatest change,
however, h a s been made in the prog r a m of the Social Studies department.
"In regard to the Social Studies
department," Dr. Milton G. Nelson,
D e a n of the College, stated, "the
trend h a s been away from the study
of mere history alone t o t h e study
of the social sciences, philosophy of
democracy, community organization,
sociology, development of family and
of marriage institutions, etc.
Add Social Sciences
"With this trend in mind, numerous courses have been added to t h e
summer curriculum dealing with the
social sciences. These courses will
n o t be added to the regular session
curriculum, however. Some examples are: History 147—Development
of Democracy as a Philosophy and a
Way of Life; History 150—Reconstruction of the Social Studies; Soc.
109—The Family; History 126—Intellectual Backgrounds of Modern
Culture; History 128— Machine Age
Culture; History 127—The Rise of
Autocracy.
During the summer session, a c a n didate for the degree of Master of
Science, who h a s completed the requirements established by the state
for a teacher of commercial subjects,
m a y select commerce as his field
for graduate specialization. This is
n o t possible under the four year
plan now in effect for the Class of
'42 in regular session.
Literature Emphasized
Some new courses have been added
to the curriculum in English. These
courses emphasize the literature of
t h e United States and emphasize the
evaluation of literature for adolescents. The n e w courses are: English
28 — Literature for Junior - Senior
High School students; English 100—
T h e Middle West, Its Culture and
Literature; English 101—Literature
of Shakespeare's London; English
127—Studies in Poetry.
In t h e science d e p a r t m e n t , a
course is p l a n n e d which will be
entirely devoted to laboratory a n d
field work in biology—no lecture
periods. Dr. Clausen will t e a c h this
course a n d t h e explanation in t h e
catalogue s t a t e s : "Hip-boots will be
of special value."

Walrath Goes Latin to Mystify State
In Spanish Preparation
Delegates at Debate Conference
By Gordon Brnakin
When the intellectuals of the
New York State Debate Conference
a t Skidmore College could n o t perceive an impostor in their midst, it
immediately became apparent to the
members of State's debate team how
relatively simple it would be for anyone of ulterior motives to do equally
as well o n a larger scale.
Amidst a tremendous ovation, Ira
Hirsh, '42, introduced Glen W a l rath, '42, to the gullible young representatives of every college and university of New York State—not as
Glen Walrath but as Senor Gleno
Gomez, a n exchange student from
Venezuela. Proceeding to the speakers' platform, Senor Gomez ejected
a conglamoratlon of curses, abstract
questions, and insults to every one
present. T h e audience w a s amazed;
they sat spellbound listening to each
individual syllable with admiration.
As Glen returned to his seat, h e was
cheered, applauded and respected.
T h e audience h a d n o t understood
anything Senor Gomez h a d s a i d h e spoke in Spanish.
This misrepresentation began on
Friday evening a t a banquet for all
the debaters, and the h o a x remained
unrevealed throughout the following day.
Glen, o n e of State's best o n t h e
dance floor in the art of "modern
swing interpretation," strengthened
his reputation a s a genuine LatinAmerican by performing with realistic Spanish grace t h e intricate
rhumbas, congas, and tangos which
are so illustrative of South America.
State College Students n o t only
created t h e humorous aspect, but
also provided the convention w i t h
considerable aid in the formulation
of t h e important bills t h a t were
considered. Saturday morning they
participated in the debate and
passage of four resolutions concerning the economic, political, cultural
a n d military relations of t h e United
States a n d South America. After
complete drafting, they will be submitted t o t h e United S t a t e s Congress and the State department at
Washington.
In appreciation of State students'
abilities, Shirley Wurz, '43, was
elected secretary of t h e Committee
on Economics and Sol Greenburg
presided over the meetings of the
Committee on Military Affairs.
Miss Agnes E. Futterer, Assistant
Professor of English, h a s announced
the make-up of next year's Advanced
Dramatics Class. T h e y are: E d i t h
Aney, Harold Ashworth, J e a n n e
Bailey, Eunice
Baird,
Roderick
Fraser, Gertrude Gold, Lois Hampel,
Doris Lichtwart, Robert Loucks,
James McFeeley, Rhona Ryan, R u t h
Schmitt, Catherine Smith, A r t h u r
Soderlind, Marian Sovik, Marjorie
Breunig, and Nancy Wilcox, s o p h o mores, and Shirley Wurz, '43.
Speaking at the annual spring
meeting of the American Association
of Teachers of Spanish held a t Syracuse University last Saturday, Mr.
R o y Mosher, Supervisor of Modern
Languages of the State Education
Department reported on the i n crease of Spanish in the high schools
of New York State. He declared,
"State College is doing a fine job in
beginning to supply these teachers."
T h i s meeting was the culmination
of Pan-American Week which c o m menced April 14. Dr. James W.
Childers, Assistant Professor
of
Spanish, accompanied Mr. Mosher
to the convention.
Each of the A.D. students w i l l
personally choose, cast, a n d direct a
play next year, and do c o m m i t t e e
work for other productions.

schools could make a contribution
in preliminary pilot training. "The
last shots in this war," said Dr.
Orton "will be fired by boys who are
now sophomores and juniors in high
school."
In the second part of his speech,
Dr. Orton emphasised the significant place aviation has taken in the
life of today. Due to the mail system,
rapid communication,
and
social effects, aviation's scope will be
similar to that of the automobile.
Its progress has brought about an
immediacy
of relationship
with
European countries, and h a s promoted the study of foreign languages. After t h e war, Dr. Orton
said t h a t aviation would have a
profound effect on everyone, and
influence housing, safety, juvenile
delinquency, a n d crime, as t h e a u t o mobile already h a s .

which is to be p r e s e n t e d in Page Hall May 15 a t
8:30 P.M.
T h e play, produced by the Advanced D r a m a t i c s class, is a satire
on the B a r r y m o r e family. I t p i c t u r e s the escapades of Tony (played
by J i m McFeeley, '44) who is constantly trying to escape the police
a n d t h e mobs t h a t g a t h e r together
w h e n e v e r he is expected to a r r i v e on
the scene. He seems to have a faculty for getting mixed up in breach
of promise suits a n d letting his sister, Julie (played by J a n e Curtis,
'43), a n d m a n a g e r find a way out.
An excellent characterization
is
clone by Betty B a r d e n , '43, who plays
the p a r t of their old mother.
T h e play h a s one set t h r o u g h o u t .
T h e scene, laid in a duplex a p a r t m e n t in the East 50's in New York
City. T h e action takes place within
a period of a year.
T h i s play was presented h e r e
about eight years ago with Lucille
Hirsh playing t h e p a r t of F a n n y .
"People who saw t h e play a t t h a t
Lime considered it the funniest comedy we h a d ever p u t on," Miss F u t terer told the reporter. "One of Its
fine points is t h a t it is a n insight to
t h e a t r i c a l life t h a t people wouldn't,
get in any o t h e r way."
Miss F u t t e r e r h a s h a d her s h a r e
of bad luck in producing the play.
J u n e Melville, '43, one of the minor
leads, was s e n t home because of an

T h e S t u d e n t Association budget
for ld42-1943 will be formally submitted to the student body this
m o r n i n g in assembly by Nick Morsillo, '42, Senior m e m b e r of Finance
Board. W i t h last week's motion
e l i m i n a t i n g t h e Statesman
from the
budget a n d the deletion of NSFA,
t h e budget figure now s t a n d s a t
$12,552.75, $641 less t h a n t h e original
s u m . T h e removal of these two org a n i z a t i o n s places t h e price of s t u d e n t t a x tickets a t approximately
$14 dollars, computed o n a t o t a l e n rollment of 900 s t u d e n t s .
Despite t h e slash in the budget
figure, a large percentage of the
s t u d e n t body is still unsatisfied with
several items listed o n t h e itemized
o r g a n i z a t i o n budgets published i n
last week's NEWS, as was evidenced
in t h e h e a r i n g s t h i s week. Every
o r g a n i z a t i o n was called on to e x p l a i n one or more items on its b u d get.
T a x Price Discussed
" W h a t difference does it m a k e
w h e t h e r we h a v e a $14 or $15 s t u d e n t t a x ? " was one of the questions
asked a t Monday's h e a r i n g . C o n sensus of opinion
indicated a lack
of concern on t h e
p a r t of t h e s t u dents.
However,
they felt t h a t t h e
possibilities
of
padding would be
greater on a budget tixed to r e quire a $15 tax,
and that, If a l lowed to go t h a t
Nicholns Moraillci high, future budgets would j u m p
even higher a n a the student body

The STATE COLLEGE NffWS assumes no responsibility
for opinions expressed In Its columns or communications,
as such expressions do not necessarily reflect its view.
The Budget Before Us
Last Friday the budget assembly missed
the point. Today the Student Association has
another chance.
The campus is divided into two camps over
the budget. One group, apparently the majority, would rather pay an extra dollar next
September than spend assembly periods arguing over the budget. The more conscientious
members of this group argue that a higher
tax will give the students more, and will increase the reputation of the college. More
money means more and larger activities,
more conventions in which State may participate, enhance its reputation, and ultimately put State on the map.
In a period of saving for war, the second
group argues for a lower tax. This would be
made possible by cleaning up the budgets of
various organizations, throwing away trimmings such as banquets, conventions, jackets,
and awards. They suggest the elimination of
organizations which do not contribute to the
welfare of the college as a whole. The purpose
of the budget hearings was to cut off these
items, to draw up a low budget. All organizations would not cooperate, all would not
cut. Last Friday's NEWS marked with
asterisks questionable budget items. The
assembly ignored these items.
Today the student association may decide
which course of action it wishes to take, in
which camp it will enlist. It will be easier to
follow the policy of the first group, but if
such action is taken, the diligent, muck-raking
efforts of the reformers will have been in
vain.
It is a choice which the Student Association
must make with care and consideration. It is
a choice which ultimately will be determined
by the interest of the individual student. It
must be made in the interest of the college
and of the Student Association as a whole,
and as such it must not be made indifferently.
ror The ruture
On December 7, 1941, the United States
was unprepared for war. Today we are fighting to free the world from oppression and
force. We are fighting for liberty and freedom for all lands, races and nations, We are
fighting to preserve our heritage, our belief
in democracy and the American way of life.
But what is ultimately more important, we
must light to make for ourselves and our
children, a world in which we may live
together in peace.
We must plan carefully for this peace, It
is always more difficult to create than to
destroy. Streit, author of Union Now,
Churchill, and Roosevelt all look to the future.
There must be more planning, more discussion, more action. It is up to youth, the
leaders of 1080, to begin now to secure a
peace worthy of the destruction of this war.

I t is reported t h a t Mussolini is having trouble in Italy. Hitler's very
pessimistic speech of last week seems to have come as a n unexpected blow
to t h e I t a l i a n government. Mussolini called a conference with t h e opposition a n d issued a n joint s t a t e m e n t saying t h a t anyone n o t supporting t h e

Successfully completing his t r a i n i n g , Ensign Merriam was transferred to t h e Naval Academy a t A n n a p olis, where h e is now studying t h e more technical
phases of navy communication.
All enthused about the Navy, Cubby writes t h a t

They a n t i c i p a t e contract trouble,
and they expect trouble with advertisers. Can we afford to a p p r o priate money for a magazine which

published a t all?
When the Echo a n d the Lion
were abolished, t h e Statesman
made
promises of great things. T h e promises h a v e n ' t been fulfilled.
What
exactly h a s the Statesman

S t a t e ? We need some concrete examples, some evidence of achievem e n t before we give them more
money to work with.
An a t t e m p t will no doubt he made
to restore the Statesman
this morning. T h e b a c k e r s of the Statesman
feel t h a t they yielded far too easily.
Can t h e Statesman
be so valuable if
it is given up without a real s t r u g gle? Are t h e backers of the Statesman,
favoring
it after
careful
thought, or for other
reasons?
W h a t e v e r the result w a s last week,
we hope t h a t the backers will act

didn't have enough people interested! Chess, debate, the NKWH e n listed the active participation of the

of course, there's not a girl who isn't

at me, kid! However, with tremendous logic, tills a r g u m e n t of too small

And now, to get a bit serious, why
can't we have a democracy? J u s t
because some students don't, like to
read (or perhaps can't? i must we
who arc Interested in literary pursuits be "vilely treated"? J u s t because we don't have muscles or a

T h e chief offenses of t h e Statesman were, seemingly, t h a t it wasn't
good literature, a n d t h a t it didn't
interest enough people.
Poor, poor, Statesman!

seven-point program which would place t h e nation's economy u n d e r t h e

Last F r i d a y in assembly, a majority of t h e s t u d e n t body abolished

The arguments

Blackout Events
Wedding Bells, Diamonds
Show That Spring is Here
Strange but True
Dorm, AAUW Conflict;
Malet Have Field Day
By Betty Gravelle
What's your idea of a perfect
blackout situation? I t may not nt
In with the motley events of Monday night's lights-out program, but
a lot of unusual situations cropped
up in State's various group houses.
For example —
It wasn't "bombs bursting in air"
nor flying glass; it wasn't even the
3 to 1 ratio that dumbfounded
Pierce Hall girls that night. There
they were—a whole bevy of 'em,
looking as if they were on the way
to camp—parading trustfully into
the Ingle Room to escape any stray,
imaginary explosives. It was slightly
shocking to discover that they were
not alone! For the AAUW (American Association of University Women to you) was not taken into the
army's confidence and therefore
chose that particular time to meet.
The confused girls, wondering if this
were some celestial (or otherwise)
meeting-place, hesitated in astonishment.
The intruders, so rudely interrupted, looked up — and looked
again! I A bird's eye view of real
dorm life If ever they saw one!
Girls, girls . . . carrying books and
even study lamps which were plugged into sockets immediately as their
owners settled down for the usual
(?) evening of stooging. Girls . . .
supplied with blankets and pillows,
curling up in corners . . . pulling
out packs of cards for the night's
shuffle . . .But the AAUW had work
to do~they couldn't watch State
girls (fascinating as they are) all
night. So, on went the program,
the blackout, and the dorm's Interrupted activity.
Psl Gamma was caught in the
middle of choosing its next year's
vice-president, and a pack of cigarettes went through a mash session In the process. Hank Ruback
found himself the sole male among
60 girls in the rec of Newman Hall,
while Rich Young held the fort at
Gamma Kap. And five young coeds held forth in a secluded spot,
sipping sodas. If this doesn't prove
State's versatility, it must prove
something!
The balmy air of spring tokens
romance, and the year 1942 is
no exception. Dicks Delfs and
Jean Thomas, sophs, up and tied
the knot Easter vacation, and
Janie Williams, '42, really stole
a march. She has recently announced her marriage to Bill
Thomas, '41, which took place
early in the year.
Eleanor Grounds, '42, also
changed her name, when she
married Richard Wlnne, General Electric employee. And
Herb Oksala and Ruth Keeler
have set the date for May 31—
"Ox" is working in Plttsneld,
Mass.
June Melville, '43, made the
initial step, and got appendicitis for an engagement present,
plus Bob Cooke's beautiful diamond,
Fraternities Plan
Weekend Events
Juniors Plan 3-Star Banquet
With Chief Guest Hartley
Banquets may be taboo In
budget discussions, but here's
one banquet which merits three
gold stars—the Junior Class
banquet, The class of '43 has
drawn up plans for this traditional fete lo be held May 6 at
6:00 P, M. in the college cafeteria for $.25. The guest star for
the evening will be Dr. William
Hartley, Assistant Professor of
Education. The topic of his
speech is—a mystery!
Shirley Eastman, '43, chairman
of the affair, says, "It's something different and the best
ever!
Kay Wilson and Ira Hirsh,

Recent Blackout
Husted Hall's Facilities
Still Found Inadequate
"Albany's fourth blackout found
State College completely cooperative
and prepared," reports Dr. Minnie
B. Scotland, Chief Air Raid Warden
and Assistant Professor of Biology.
Blackout procedure in the group
houses was followed without mishap and activities continued in the
college during the blackout. However, some light did show through
the blacked-out rooms on the second floor of Husted Hall where defense classes were being held.
Dr. Scotland was attending a
meeting in the Ingle Room of Pierce
Hall when the blackout warning
sounded. She says, "I was extremely
impressed by the rapidity and order
with which rhe girls vacated their
rooms." She also praised the cooperation of the Sayles Hall men for
reporting a light in one of the upper
floors of Pierce.
As for blackout preparations In
the college, Dr. Scotland believes
that nothing more will be done until
next fall. Because the days are
longer at this time of the year and
because more activities take place
outdoors, blackout equipment is not
an absolute necessity.
Steak, fried potatoes, strawberries and cream, and chocolate
cake were the order of the day
at the Pi Omega Pi picnic yesterday. Picnicking and steakroasting on the lawn of Dr. Edward Cooper's (Instructor in
Commerce) Slingerland home,
the senior members of the commercial honor fraternity initiated and formally inducted the

To Meet Tomorrow
by Bernard Skolsky
To those males of the species who
arc considering going to the aid of
their country, it seems advisable to
present a survey of the opportunities
in the service which are open to
them. A hasty choice without a
careful survey of the necessary
qualifications and without a thorough knowledge of all opportunities
for war-time service may result in
total misplacement of man power.
The Civil Pilot training is divided
into two courses: elementary course
and secondary course. The requirements for the elementary course are
30 semester hours of college credit
if now in college and 60 hours of
college credit If out of college. (However these requirements are now in
the process of change, and eventually no evidence of prior formal
education will be required.) Training Is approximately five months at
some institution where the course is
offered. Training is part-time and
may be takei concurrently with
other college work. The requirements for eligibility in the secondary
course Is the same as for the elementary course except that evidence
of successful completion of the elementary course must be presented
and evidence that one-half of the
college credits necessary for a degree will have been earned by the
time the Secondary Course is completed.
Training of approximately eight
months is required for the Army
Air Corps - Navigation Cadet - PilotBombardier - Navigator. After this
training, candidates are commissioned second lieutenants in I lie Air
Corps Reserve, with obligation to
serve on active duty. No evidence
of prior formal education is required.
To enlist, in the Army Air Corps
as a member of the Ground-Crew,
training varies In length according
to typo of service toward which they
lead. Upon completion of training,
recommended candidates are commissioned as second lieutenants In
the Army Air Corps Reserve.

SLS Tikes Lead
In Softball League
With Three Wins
Potter Club, Ramblers
Tie for Second Place
Sigma Lambda Sigma stepped
into the lead of the intramural
baseball league last Wednesday with
three wins and no losses. Potter
Club and the Ramblers were also
undefeated, each having two wins
and no losses going into their
game last night.
SLS beat Sayles Hall, Thomas
More, and College House in that
order. Max Reeves proved himself
the surprise of the new season as he
set down Sayles Hall with seven hits
and won 16-15. SLS, lacking two of
its regular players, committed numerous errors in the field.
In defeating Thomas More's
green but enthusiastic team, SLS
banged out 25 hits to score 30 runs
as the Morians were held to Ave
runs. Reeves, pitching for SLS, allowed only four hits and struck out
nine men.
College House provided SLS its
third victory by a 29 to 4 score.
Guarlno led the hitting with four
hits including a triple and a home
run.

Ramblers have garnered their two
wins in slugfest fashion, winning
over Thomas More 20 to 14 and over

W A A Moves
Baseball to Page
With a final acquisition of the
front lawn for use on Tuesday,
Thursdays and Fridays for Softball,
the WAA spring program of six
sports has gotten well under way.
Instead of playing in back of the
library, the girls will be able to
have organized teams in front of
Page Hall. Tuesday afternoon several teams were formed for league
playing, with Sylvia Teft and Leah
Tlsehler in charge.
Expand Archery Program
An expanded archery program has
been inaugurated by Honey Schoen
by trying to build up an archery
range in front of the library. Both
men and women have shown an increased interest in this sport, which
has proven highly popular in other
colleges. Monday and Wednesday
from 3:30 to 4:30 P.M. are the hours.
Since the Washington Pork Courts
have not opened, there will not be
enough time to acquire ten hours
credit. Therefore, credit will be obtained on a girl's own time reported
to the captain.
Outdoor Courts Marked
Outdoor courts have been marked
in back of school for badminton
play. Captain Kay Devine is planning a tournament which will be
played on Monday and Wednnsduy
afternoon.
Golf, under captain Ellen Holly,
who is a skilled player, is also expanding its program. Practices will
be conducted in back of school on
Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3:00
to 4:00 P.M., and later the girls will
make the rounds on a local course.
CARL MITCHELL
Send this one to the sons of Nippon. Recently the newly-formed
State College golf team was serenely
practicing on the municipal links.
Magnanimous Dave Bitteman walked up to John Sussina and graciously presented him with a dilapidated pill saying, "Here, John, I
don't want this ball any more, let's
see you send it sailing off into the
woods."
"Gosh," said John taken aback by
such unselfish generosity, "that's
something I've always wanted to
do, give it here."
The exuberant young freshman
teed the ball, took a lusty swing
and a loud crash ensued. It was
an exploding golf ball! No wonder
we had a blackout that night.
Reminiscing in Sports
Have you noticed the pack of
waives that have bten hungrily taking in the spectacle of women's
sports near hawiey. Some of the
uoider lads from tne Albany area
now have started to pull up to the
curb with their newest retreads and
hang out the windows—drooling.
Kit Herdman was pitching a hot
game of Softball. It was almost bell
time (no, we didn't say belle) when
she faced the situation with one on
first, one on second, and two outs.
Getting very excited, the little
girl tried to outfox her opponents
by making an unexpected toss to
catch the girl off second base. It
almost worked except the recipient
of the throw was a surprised third
baseman!
During the same afternoon, Leda
LaSalle pulled a Brooklyn Boner
when she picked up a sizzling
grounder but, instead of making a
quick throw in, she took her feminine prerogative and started arguing
with a fellow outfielder—while the
batter casually walked In to score.
But The Men, No
Gene Guarlno set a new personal
record for errors the other day while
playing shortstop. We counted six—
but we left early.
Maxson Reeves, the lusty pirate,
has never gone out for State sports
but now we find him pitching such
good games, as four, seven, and
eight-hitters.
Clarence Oarr, one of our faithful
sports writers, has been knocked out
of the box three times but we find
him still trying.
L. Walter (Dutch) Schultze garnered a position on the tennis team
by narrowly defeating Irv Steinberg
while the ladder was still open.
The Ebony Sphere
Members of the Royal Order of
the Ebony Sphere will be happy to
know that the executive committee
has made plans for a better organized club next year.
Dr. Earl J, Dorwaldt has been selected to act as faculty counsellor
and is now awaiting the selection of
next year's executive board before
going ahead witli his plans, Personally, it seems as if everybody is
qualified to join the "Behind The
Eight Ball" club.
Cooke-Toepfer Team
Wins Ping-Pong Title
"Doc" Cooke and Rolf Teepfer decisively defeated Bob Combs and
Bill Dickson last Monday afternoon
In the final match of the men's
doubles ping-pong match.
The
winners performed smoothly before
a limited gallery of spectators, taking the match in three consecutive
games, 21-15, 22-20, and 21-10.
Both teams were unexpected finalists, having readied the finals by
upsetting the seeded teams of A.
Flax and Brainier, and L, Flax unci
Stiller.
"And another Freshman bit
the dust." This according to
Mary Domann, captain, will be
the battle-cry of the Golden
Horde team in the rivalry softball game today. The stalwart
damsels of the class of '44 have
forsworn their hot fudge sundaes and multitudinous cokes
for the past week in training
for this event.
"The Crimson Tide surges on
to victory," says Nora Giavelli,
captain of the frosh team. With
a gleam of pride in her eyes, she
claims that her team could lick
its weight in sophomore men.
Thus, why should it tremble before the might of the soph ferns,
the so-called weaker sex.
Which team will gain the coveted three points In rivalry?
Gome to the game today at 4:15
in front of Page Hall and learn
the answer to this burning
question.
Net men to Play
Cortland Today;
Lose RPI Match
With the records showing one win
and one loss, the State netmen
have spent the past week practicing
for their match with Cortland Normal this afternoon. The match is
scheduled to take place on State's
home courts at Ridgefield, starting
at 2:30. Captain Brauner feels confident of State's chances of winning,
for last year's racqueteers defeated
Cortland handily by a score of 6-3.
Lose to RPI
After breezing through to an easy
win over Plattsburg in the season's
opening match, the squad took a rather bad beating from the flashing
racquets of RPI last week. The
match was played on RPI's home
courts. The score was 6-2.
The players who won were Mullin,
playing in third spot, who won his
singles match, and Finer and Mullin in their doubles match. The
hardest fought set of the day, going to 28 games before it was decided, was between Stiller and his
man. Stiller finally lost 13-15.
Schultze Replaces Steinberg
The only man who was successful
in replacing a team man was L.
Walter Schultze, who defeated
Steinberg at Ridgefield on Sunday.
Since no more challenge matches
can be played, the squad has been
finally set. It consists of Harry
Kensky, Henry Brauner, Fran Mullin, Norman Finer, Bernard Bernhardt, Alfred Stiller, and L. Walter
Schultze.
Golden Horde Leads Red Raiders
A s Final Week of Rivalry Nears
by Clarence Oarr
With only one week remaining, interest in the traditional frosh-soph
battle is keyed to a high pitch. At
present, the tradition-breaking class
of '44 is well in the lead of the
Crimson and White "Torrent" (socalled). If the contests which have
so far been staged, the Golden
Horde has garnered 15 % points, the
frosh, 3Vi. However, there are 18
more points to be decided, so the
frosh may be considered as having
a slim chance.
The Rivalry points tD date are:
Frosh Sophs
Pushball

Women's Races

Football

15 Vi
The first of these events, the women's softball game, will take place
this afternoon in front of Page Hall.
Mary Domann, '44, and Nora Giavelli, '45, are the representative captains of their teams. The Men's
softball contest will take place
Tuesday, May 5, at 4:30 P.M., under
the captainships of Hal Ashworth,
'44, and Buck Hippick, '45.
The tug-of-war, captained by Ray
Verrey, '44, and Zollie Prlvett, '45,
will occur at 12 noon, May 8. At
4:30 the same day the pushball contest will be held under captains Bill
Marsland, '44, and Don Sayles, 45,
followed by the women's field events
at 4:50.
Naturally, both classes have very
partisan points of view, each maintaining that the other will be
slaughtered. However, that is a
point that but one thing can settle

The remaining points are:

Looking at the frosh record so far,
there seems to be nothing much that
serves to back up their rash statements other than a determined
fighting spirit. Last fall's pushball
and football games were easily won
by the sophs.
And another thing to consider Is
the spirit evidenced in the soph
theme song—"We did it before, and
we can do it again!"

It was Myskania which promoted

And it was Myskania that conducted

When Moving-Up Day opens tomorrow to the strains of the Alma
Mater, State's extra-curricular year will have reached its peak. All of
today's speculations and suspense will be over as the four classes,
distinguishable by their various colors, see another extra-curricular
dynasty ushered in and 1941-42 activities formally brought to a close.
The new Myskania will be tapped, officers of all the major organizations will be named, and the sophomore-freshman rivalry will be
concluded by the awarding of the
rivalry cup to the victorious class.
After the respective classes assemble in Draper Hall, they are to
march into the Page Hall auditorium
where they will witness the traditional Moving-Up Day exercises.
The entire student body will sing
the Alma Mater and the day's ceremonies will begin with Ralph Tibbetts, President of Student Association presiding.
The class speakers are first on
the program. Speaking for the
freshman class will be Barbara
Putnam; for the sophomore class,
Betty Gravelle; for the junior class,
Robert Leonard; for the seniors,
William Dickson.
Mr. Adam Walker, Professor of
Economics and Sociology, will start

students, the staff for the new literary annual was chosen by popular
