But we've achieved at least one ambition. State College can now boast at long last, a FIGHT SONG! After our brief campaign to find someone in school who would write such a song had exhausted itself; and we had given up all hope, up pop two enterprising seniors with the goods. The sports department takes its wig off to these lads and heartily extends a congratulatory fist full of digits. We're behind them 100% and we're sure their names will live with the song at every sports contest to come! Keep It Clean But there's one more ambition that we'd like to see fulfilled. And that's an absolute minimum in fraternity sacrifices under the guise of sports. In the few years we've been here we were more than a little disturbed to find that the impetus to excel in sports has not been pure love of athletics, but a sprinkling of adulterated politics to the greater glory of the fraternity! This year we've made every possible attempt (and quite successfully) to keep fraternity politics and loyalty out of the sports page. The sports page is a vital element in giving proper recognition to outstanding athletic events. To date, sports reporting has been kept clean —and we sincerely hope that participation in sports will be on the same basis. On To Victory And now one final tribute to those young fellows who will soon put away their books and pick up the sword. We wonder if all appreciate the fact that there are many among us who will be in the armed forces within a few weeks. However, despite this, not one single objection has been voiced in protest. Not one lad has sought sympathy. Instead there is a will to go on and perform the duty which is so necessary at this time. To those who remain behind the full significance of this situation is as yet unrecognized. Not until the casualty lists come back with the names of close ones will they realize what is really taking place . . perhaps, not until there is another plaque in the Rotunda . . .

The match will start, at 2:30. Next week, on Thursday, May 14, the home match with RPI is .scheduled, and on the following day, the return match with Siena. After their setback on the courts of RPI, the netsmen came back •strong to win the next three matches over Cortland, Plattsburg, and Hartwick, only to lose to Brooklyn Poly last Wednesday by the close score of 4-5.

Los Graves, '42, trumpet teacher at Vlncentian Institute and a member of the Stale College Orchestra, recently wrote a melody for the piano and mi.de several arrangements for different instruments which now constitutes the official State College Fight Song, "We Can Win." Words to accompany the song were written by Edwin J. Holsteln, versatile editor of the Nuws. The melody is printed above with the following words: r u n w i n , If ...

The fact that the song was writfen by two men in actual attendance at this college is probably more beneficial than having one who is far removed from local needs compose such a song. oneqe The Giin mm With The old order changeth, place to the new. . . .

Sprowls' attempt for a shut-out was spoiled when two errors and a walk allowed two unearned runs to score in the final inning. Pitcher George Seifert smashed two home runs Wednesday to lead Sayles Hall to victory over College House. The game was called at the end of the fifth inning because of rain. The score stood at 11-8. Thomas More lost two more games. The first went to Kappa Beta by a 14 to 7 score, the second to KDR by a 14 to 11 tally. State Golfers Lose to Siena In their first attempt in intercollegiate competition, the newly organized golf team wound up on the losing end of a 11-4 score. The State golfers ran up against a well experienced Siena squad and only Bittman and Sussina were able to garner points for the locals. The State representatives in the order in which they played are: Bert Kiley, Howard Lynch, Dave Griffin, Dave Bittman, and John Sussina. Z-443 Mill GINNY POLHEMUS In line with all the announcing of honors tomorrow during the traditional M-U-D ceremonies, let me say today that praise should go to Kay Peterson for a swellegant job this year as prez of WAA. With enthusiastic leadership, she has presented an expanded program which has resulted in an increased number of girls turning out for the various sports. Bowling to the Fore One activity which has spurted into the limelight during the past year is bowling. Seventy girls bowled twelve or more times to receive credit, and a countless number didn't quite make the credit. A bowling league of seven teams was organized and the tournament was completed with alacrity. All of the participants regretted seeing the contests end. What more can be said? Fencing, too, has received more attention. A big factor responsible this year was the introduction of Saturday morning instructions by an expert. The exhibition given by the girls showed the excellent results of their practice. These are but two sports—however, ask any active WAA'er about this year's swell program. Posters Please The value of publicity cannot be denied—the eye-arresting posters which have oecorated the WAA bulletin board this year have played a great part in reminding the members about each activity. TIME MARCHES ON DEPT — Tomorrow we seniors will relinquish our places to the juniors selected as our successors. Naturally, we shall do it reluctantly, but with confidence that they will probably do a better job than we have. So long, seniors—see you at the Alumni affairs. G E O R G E D.

In the original vote, he ran third to Peggy Dee and Fran Mullin. In the first revotes he succeeded in eliminating Miss Dea, despite his drawing of only 8 more votes than she. In the final revotes he defeated Fran Mullin byv 5 votes. The only other candidates of any consequence were Elaine Harris and Martha Sprenger, both of whom had only about a half dozen votes less than Roulier in the first vote, but were nevertheless eliminated. \vi* light, I'ur ulil S l a i n lum I hi' w i l l I " ih'l'.v, \V«i w i l l iflvii a l l w« have, Anil nn rll'lirt IH In grout, I'nr I I u r t mi in lms | Ii i« Nti'i'liirtli In Mil,! • T i l l ' I'lii'iili' null I In* (Inlil I I K I I I N In victory Anil n n art' i v l l h tlli'iu all llm w a y I " The words and melody will be sung by the Student Association this morning when the song Is introduced by President John Ralph Tibbetts, During today's sing Shirley Mosher will play the piano arrangement, while Marl Snow will lead the singing. The sports department hud previously written to Fred Waring In an attempt to get the noted orchestra leader to compose such a song for Stale, but priorities and such prevented his fulfilling our request,. Competition was fairly keen in other .student association elections, three votes being necessary to decide the NSPA representative for next year, William Mursland, even though the post had been abolished before the third voting.

P. LOWRY WATCH Staving off a last minute challenge by a surprisingly strong candidate, Don Vanas was elected to the presidency of Student Association for next year to succeed Ralph Tibbetts. The announcement of Vanas' election to the highest undergraduate office in the college was greeted by a tumult of cheers from a Moving-Up-Day gathering which included students, parents, and faculty. In winning the crowning laurels of a long and popular political career, Vanas defeated Howard Lynch by a vote of 343 to 276, a majority of 67. Lynch entered the contest against the vice-president of Student Association an under-dog, having never held a major popularly-elected office in the college; he emerged with a strong following. Climax of Vanas' Career For Vanas it was the climax of a successful political career which began at the end of his freshman year with his election to secretaryship of Student Association. Since then he has climbed almost with ease the traditional ladder to the top. He won the vice-presidency last year by a 2 to 1 vote and until Lynch's strong bid this year he appeared to be an invincible candidate for the presidency. The hotly contested race drew 619 undergraduates to the polls to vote for their choice for president. The other two major elections for Student Association office were not nearly so clear cut. Two males defeated opposition which included women to round out the masculine trio which will run the Student Association next year. Harold Ashworth was elected vice-president and Joe Roulier, secretary. Women's Bloc Split Ashworth trailed Pat Latimer in the first vote for the vice-presidency, but in the revotes Ashworth gathered enough strength to defeat Miss Latimer by a margin of 53 votes. The defeat of Miss Latimer indicated cracking of the women's bloc which helped sweep her into the secretaryship last year. The only other candidate of any strength was Fred Shoemaker. Rhona Ryan made a fair showing, while Fred Beyer and Pat Carroll never had a chance. The last minute write-in ballot movement for Miss Carroll was begun too late to have any effect on the election.

MAA, WAA Pick VOL. XXVI, NO. t t Retiring Body Taps Thirteen To Next Year's Myskania Incoming 'Pea" Board In the Class of 1943 with 143 people marking ballots, Thomas Feeney rode into the presidency with a decisive plurality of 83 votes. Mildred Mattice was uncontested for the position of vice-president of this class. Oddly enough exactly 143 members of the Class of 1942 also participated in their spring elections last year. Richmond Youn^ gained the presidency of the Class of 1944 via the slightly more difficult revote route. With 154 ballots cast in the first vote and 134 in the second vote, Young nosed cut Sovik by a scant seven vote margin. Young is a newcomer on the presidential roster as is his vice-presidential running mate, Fred Shoemaker, who won with a more decisive plurality of 31 votes. The incoming sophomores, 170 strong, voted confidence in the present administration of the Class of 1945 by reinstating both Florence Garfall as president and Curtis Pfaff as vice-president. Garfall came through with a plurality of 31 votes in the first effort on the balcony of the Commons, while it took Pfaff a revote to draw out of a sixcandidate field with an identical plurality. The complete listing of the new class officers is as follows: Class of 1942: Class Poet, Mary Klein; Class Prophet, Loretta Servatius; Class Historian, Jeannette Ryerson; Ivy Speaker, Glenn Walrath; and Class Counsellor, Virginia Polhemus. Class of 1943: President, Thomas Feeney; Vice-president, Mildred Mattice; Treasurer, Harold Singer; Representative to MAA, Owen Bombard and Edward Reed; Songleader, Harley Dingman; Representative to Finance Board, Robert Bartman and Jack Smith; WAA Manager, Winifred Jones; and WAA Representative, Ethelmay Tozier.

OS^\ Moving-Up-Day Gathering Cheers As 7 Men, 6 Woman Are Elected to Black-Gowned College Leadership Society/ First Class Since '39 to Fill Group's Membership Quota A capacity crowd of students, faculty, and guests jammed the Page Hall auditorium this morning to witness the timehonored tradition of "tapping" new members for Myskania, campus leadership society. The surprise element was not at all lacking for the thirteen chairs on the stage indicated to the upperclassmen only that thirteen could be the maximum although very few expected a "full" Myskania. As the eleven members of the present Myskania returned to the stage, it seemed that all was over as Paul Merritt left his place, walked across the stage and returned to his position. A murmur rose from the assemblage, however, as Jeanette Ryerson stepped out to make another journey to return with Lois Hafley. Once again, the crowd sat back, only to be roused again as Edwin Holstein left the stage to "tap" Winifred Jones, thus completing the maximum number that could be selected. Passow's final tour signifying the formal ending of the tapping ceremony came as an anti-climax. 1942-1943 Myskania Owen Walter Bombard Howard James Lynch Thomas Feeney Mildred Elizabeth Mattice Rhoda Muriel Scovell David Slavin Emily Etta Blasiar Donald Woodruff Vanas Elizabeth Jane Harden Robert Anthony Leonard George Joseph Kunz Lois Ellen Hafley Winifred Jones Council Elections Uncover Upsets A number of surprises were evidenced this morning with the announcement to the Moving-Up assemblage of the names of the student officers who were elected by the three major councils of the college to lead the dramatics, debate, arts, and music programs during the coming school year. Marie Soule, Betty Barden, and George Kunz, juniors, will head Debate Council, Dramatics and Arts Council, and Music Council, respectively, in the capacity of president. Both Miss Barden and Kunz were further honored by being tapped to Myskania during the traditional ceremonies earlier in the morning. Assisting Mi.is Soule and rounding out the personnel of Debate Council will be Solomon Greenberg, '43, vicepresident; Marion Sovik, '44, secretary; Mary Wurtss, '44, treasurer; Dorothy Huyck, Verna Snyder, juniors, and Joseph Biggins, '44, members-at-large. Other newly elected officers to the Dramatics and Arts Association council are Martha Sprenger, '44, secretory; and Arthur Soderlind, '44, treasurer. Miss Sprenger is the newly elected member to the council. Music Council's treasurer and secretary will be Jean MacAllister, '43, and Cannelina Losurdo, '44. Newly elected to council are Mary Studebaker, '44, and Eunice Wood, '45. Miss MacAllister and Nan Wilcox, '14, represent I ho choral society; George Kunz and Jane Southwick, juniors, operatic society; Verne Marshall and Earle Snow, sophomores, the orchestra. Old-New Myskania Speak Opening this morning's program were speakers from each of the four classes. Junior class speaker was Robert Leonard, tenth man to be tapped for Myskania this morning. Speaking for the class of 1942 was William Dickson, a member of the outgoing Myskania. Barbara Putnam und Betty Gravelle also spoke. T It is coincidental that only once in recent years has a thirteen n u m bered Myskania been selected and this Myskania presided during the freshman year of the outgoing Myskania. Coincidental also, is the fact that the 1933-1939 Myskania also consisted of seven men and six women just as does the Myskania selected today. A. Harry Passow opi. ned the ceremonies with a slow de.lberate Journey, escorting back to Me stage the newly elected MAA president, Owen Bombard, director of freshman camp. Paul Merritt followed, surprising the assemblage and convincing them that the "office to office" and "brother to brother" procedure had been deliberatley neglected once again. Merritt named Howard Lynch, defeated candidate for the presidency of student association. William Dickson then chose as his successor Thomas Feeney, threeyear class president and captain of basketball. Ryerson Taps First Woman Jeanette Ryerson was the first woman to leave the stage and the first to return having chosen a woman—Junior Prom Queen Mildred Mattice,. vice-president of her class and member of Music Council. Kathryn Wilson followed Miss Ryerson's lead and will be succeeded by the NEWS Muriel Scovell. The NEWS then contributed its second member to the campus leadership society as William Dorrance returned to the stage with the newly elected editor-in-chief, David Slavin. Katherine Peterson added another woman to the honor organization relinquishing her chair to Emily Blasiar, president of SCA. Ralph Tibbetts added a fifth tn&n to the group and settled the question of presidency of student association for the crowd as Donald Vanas took seat number eight. Bernard Perlman followed choosing as his successor Betty Barden, president of the Dramatics and Arts Association Council. Edwin Holsteln and Ira Hirsh brought the count to seven men and four women as they pinned their purple and gold ribbons on NSFA representative Robert Leonard and next year's leader of Music Council, George Kunz. Crowd Thinks Tapping Over There was a short pause and the crowd sat back to survey and appraise what they believed to be the newly elected Myskania. They were convinced that tapping was over when Paul Merritt made a short trip and returned empty-handed, The members of the capacity crowd were brought to the edges of their seats as Jeanette Ryerson left the stage once again for a repeat performance and returned with Lois Hafley, director of the women's freshman camp. Edwin Holstein terminated the proceedings definitely as he filled the lust available seat bringing the thirteenth and final member—Wlni/fred Jones, president of next yew'» WAA. ; nfi « » - ' " » " j ^ l j l ^ i >r»)MMii>ii#' STATE COLLEGE NEWS, SATURDAY, MAY 9,1941 PAGE I State College News Myskania Announces Numerical Election Results Tnte 1 Prcaldent Lynch, Howard Vanai, Don . . . .
