As Head of Com Club
ALBANY, NEW YORK, FRIDAY, MAY 15,194S
Papas of New Fight Song
Applauded by Student Body
"We a r e both very h a p p y about
t h e whole affair," beamed proud
papas Holstein a n d Graves, r e ferring, of course, t o their newly
released "Fight Song." "Since
S t a t e needed a fight song, a n d
since nobody else was writing
one," explained • Holstein, "Lea
a n d I j u s t decided t o do our bit."
And so these budding lyricists
started tinkling on t h e piano
a n d writing a n d erasing a n d r e writing some more. As Graves
put it, "First we'd c h a n g e t h e
music to fit t h e words, a n d then
we'd c h a n g e t h e words back t o
fit t h e music."
No copyright, n o advance p u b licity s t u n t s , n o faculty preview—
this song came out u n a n n o u n c e d
and was judged solely on its
merits. Did we like it? You
bet! And so, as all institutions
must, S t a t e h a s finally acquired
an official fight song.

Although the ratio of m e n to
women at S t a t e College is about 3',a
women to 1 m a n , t h e 1942-43 Myskania can boast of an almost even
score, 7 m e n a n d B women. This
cither shows the superiority of t h e
male of t h e species where activities
are concerned, or proves
thac
women's m i n d s a r e on things other
Hum their work.
Today's Assembly, however, brings
to mind some very serious questions
in regard to t h e a p p e a r a n c e of t h e
newly chosen Myskania. Will Bombard a p p e a r alone, or will Georgia
come along with h i m ? Will Lynch
march on t h e stage in a slow, dignified m a n n e r or will he jitterbug on?
Will Halley a n d Feeney change their
seats in order to sit near eacli other?
Will Kunz forget where he is a n d
sing the Major General's song Instead of t h e Alma Mater? T h e
shadow knows, h e h l h e h ! h e h l

ADDED VITAL STATISTICS—No less than 84 persons were crowded into one of the more popular
collegiate rendezvous last Sat. nite—celebrating in a
more or less decorous fashion, moving-up day. Fraternity and sorority walls were forgotten as all banded
together under the Purple & Gold for a night of mirth

Hail and Farewell
It is the end, and it is the beginning.
Paradoxical as these words may be, they have
a certain significance these days, when epochs
come to a close, and others begin.
This week's issue of the NEWS is the last
of the year, yet it is the first edited in its
entirety by the 1942-43 Board. It has been
impossible in a few hectic days to make any
distinct changes in policy, changes which are
inevitable when new individuals take charge
of an organization. Ideas are already shaping in the minds of the incoming editors, but
they must wait for next September 18 to go
into effect.
Myskania, too, is hovering this week between the old and the new order. This is no
less true of nearly every group in the college.
The new leaders stand ready to go into
action, in many cases their work has already
begun. They, too, must await the fall.
For the Seniors who will leave on Monday
next this is the end, and yet it is also the
start of a new kind of life, a different way of
living. Gone will be the sleepless nights, the
toiling and striving and yearning for marks
and recognition; instead there will be the
uneasy and unpredictable life in the outside
world. There may still be sleepless nights,
there may still be toiling and striving and
yearning; but all will be on a new and different basis, for the guidance and help of
trained minds will no longer be available. It
is the beginning of an independent existence.
For the United Nations this is the end of
defense and the beginning of offense. This is
the end of despair, it is the beginning of
hope; for our armies, navies, and air forces
are on the march, and nothing will stop them.
This is the beginning of a summer, the outcome of whose battles will decide the fate of
all of us for many decades to come. This is
the beginning of the era in which either
democracy or tyranny will emerge victorious.
We have no doubt as to the outcome; it must
be that way.
By next September and October we shall
be somewhere along the circumference of a
circle speeding rapidly toward the unknown
point which marks the end of another era.
Let us look ahead to those months with
courage and hope, for we know our efforts
will succeed.
To the new Myskania, to all the new officers, to the Seniors, above all, to the cause
of democracy, we say Godspeed.
O p e n Sesame
The hour of trial is upon us. In a few short
days another examination period falls due—
a time that means books, black coffee, and
headaches to the student body. To help the
"crammers," we suggest that the college
library be opened in the evening until dark
'ffor the duration." F.ven bombers of Japan
and Germany would have the compassion not
to pick exam week for a token air raid.

Added Interviews—Verbalism Deluxe
Liz Simmons, in a writeup this week in one of the
downtown papers, gave a rather glorified account of
the exit of old man apathy at State
The article carried a lot of good sound ideas, and
it is unfortunate that it was slightly overdressed by
some ambitious journalist—but this seems usually to
be the case whenever anyone writes a feature showing
youth's part in the world fracas.
Take for instance the accompanying article on
Thorpe DeVold—-"Devoid of Fear, Devoid Enlists, To
Fly or Die . . ." Now this Is a very laudable patriotic
sentiment, but as a headline it is well buttered, and
on the cob. . . . Although by no means a criterion of
correctness, it is unlikely that such a headline would
ever appear in the Crimson and Wh—pardon us, The
STATIC COLLBUE NEWS. . . .
At the risk of degenerating into a gossip column,
we relate the following choice tidbit. Liz's eulogizer
coyly described John Ralph as "her particular boy
friend . . . ," so now you know why the fair haired,
as well as fair minded, No. 1 student wakes up screaming. . . .
Apathy has gone from State; we no longer take our
invincibility for granted—but having conquered this
deadliest of enemies (apathyI, we must put forth every
possible effort next year to help force Frankenstein's
kitchen cabinet out of business. . , .
Religion—A Challenge to Man
This presents a definite challenge to every organisation on the campus, and especially to the religious
groups—for if there was ever a time when a return to
religion was needed it Is now.
By this we do not mean a verbalistic display of
Hallelujahs, but a practical, working adoption of a
belief in the brotherhood of man. Only through this
can a permanent world order, insuring peace, be
established.
Without this, by continuing the past world policy
of national axe-grinding, many of us will be vainly
sacrificed on the altar of economic imperialism. . . .

No Survey Exams
Five College Men Adopt
U.S. Marines Theme Song
Newman to Induct
For SS Students
There will be no comprehensive
examination for Sophomore majors
or minors in social studies this year,
as announced by Donnal V. Smith
of the social studies department.
The change has been made to conform with the new five-year plan.
The purpose ol the comprehensive
examination was to select the field
of social studies for specialization.
However, since specialization will
now begin in the fifth year, the
exam will be given in the second
semester of the junior year, or in the
first semester of the senior year to
all majors and minors in social
studies, since these students may
elect to specialize in their minors
or majors during the fifth year.
The program of the fifth year will
be seminar work and one semester
of education in the field of special
interest.
This postponement will apply tu
all who will finish their fourth year
in June, 1944 and to subsequent
classes. That is, the conmprehensive
examination will be given In the
spring or fall semester of 1943.

are going to print just the very best
of everything." Miss Martin added
that the Statesman has been buried
and that the new magazine will have
a new name, new cover, new format.
and even new type of features. That
every student should and must feel
that It Is his privilege and his duly
to submit articles, stories and such
to the staff of the magazine for
possible publication, were the parting words of Miss Martin

W a r Activities
Increase in Scope
With the continuation of the present world conflict, the War Activities Board will assume an important
role in next year's college program.
Members of the Board anticipate a
full schedule,
On Activities Day next October,
there will be a booth in the Commons where students can register
for different classes In War Relief
Work. Committees will be formed
to salvage materials which will be
used to fill vital war needs. The
sewing group will continue its work
under the direction of Emily Blasiar,
while the blood bank will be given
more prominent place In the relief
program. It is hoped that more students will contribute.
This past year the Board has
sponsored stamp and bond campaigns. Members have cooperated
with outside workers in writing
scripts for radio programs dealing
with national defense. They have
enlisted volunteers for defense positions in tiie city and have assisted
with the enrollment of residents for

What are the seniors' feelings on
leaving school? The only way to
find out Is by asking the seniors
themselves. The Commons is a fertile place to find almost anyone.
Sure 'null', Fred Ferris gave forth
wllh, "As a senior, two thoughts are
in mind as I look back upon four
happy and profitable years at State.
I am glad that the requirements for
a degree are fulfilled, but at the
same time 1 i egret leaving college
and the friends among the faculty
and students who have made State
so pleasant, At the same time f am
looking forward to an exciting
period with the Marine Corps."
Curl "Behind the Eight-Ball"
Mitchell, looking rather sad, said,
"Just like everybody else feels. It's
lough to leave all the friends of
years. There's something bigger
ahead, though, I've got to llnd a
couple ol .laps to do my laundry."
Pete Fulvlo will also be fighting
Japs. When asked about his feelings,
Pete replied, "My feelings on leaving State? I've never spent four
years that were so marked for their
luck of food, money, sleep, and rest.
As for the war -It's u steady Job at
least."
Hill Dickson spouted poetry!
" 'Parting is such sweet sorrow.'
Future
Makes me think of poetry—things
like, 'So, we'll go no more a-rovlng.'
That's Byron. Outside of that I
haven't any definite feelings because
what I'm going into is so unknown.
It's Just a time interval as far as
I'm concerned."
With his mouth full of peach pie,
and his eyes full of tears, Al Stiller
spoke: "I am terribly sorry to be
leaving my old acquaintances and
the haunts I've infected for four
years." Kay Richards said, "I feel
bad because I'm finishing off a,
period of my life to which I can
never return and fit In. However, I
am glad to get out because four
years of college seems like enough."
Muriel "Rappie" Rapport stilted seriously, "After four years here, anyone would be glad to get out, I
know there's more to living than
Just what you find at Slate. So, I'm
all wet to go out and live."
ISci llolsleln was brief but to the
point, "Stute has treated me well.
I'm glad It's over and I'm sorry to
leave." Janet Kraafz adequately
summed up the feelings of the major
part of the class by saying, "To me,
leaving State Is a personal matter
which every individual will accept
In his own inimitable way, My feelings are various and probably trite
—as are these words."
