Construction Work
To Continue 2 Weeks
An extensive program of physical
improvement to the campus has
continued through into the first
weeks of the new semester. Many
projects begun during the summer
have not been completed on schedule mainly because of a scarcity of
skilled labor and the inability tu
obtain material.
In the lower halls of Draper workmen are finishing putting in new
terrazzo doors which run from the
Commons to the Annex. First door
Draper lias newly painted walls and
sanded doors. Repairs have baon
made to the water heater and pi us,
The chemistry laboratories have new
doors and new equipment is order.' I.
The walk in front of Huested and
the ledges on the rorf of Milne have
been repaired.
Fluorescent lights
have been installed in the Publications Office and more shrubbery has
been planted ill front of Draper,
Huested, and Hawley.
The administration believes that
the construction program will be
completed within two weeks.

ALBANY, NEW YORK, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1942
So, Frosh—You're Here;
Welcome, and Have Fun
Enrollment Size
W h e r e oh where a r e the verd a n t freshmen? Your guess is
as good as anyone's, w h a t with no
frosh camp etc. It seems it is
going to be a little more difficult
this year to get to know these
c h a r m i n g additions to the student
body.
M a y Demand
They come from North, South,
East and West. From the s o u n d bound shores of the Hudson
River to the falls-sprawled banks
of Niagara. Some are tall, some
thin, some cute, and a multitude
of other adjectives. And one and
all they have come to add their
contributions to the halls of State.
We'll get to know you in time,
frosh.
The upperclassmen are
glad to see you. So, far the u m p teenth time, welcome to Slate!
Sikorsky Speaks
A t Workshop
Educators Will Stress
Aviation in Schools
In an effort to incorporate aviation into the existing c u r r i c u l u m of
colleges and high schools, Dr. Herman Cooper, Assistant Commissioner
lor Teacher Education in New Yorq
Mate, introduced a Faculty Workshop in Aeronautics at S t a t e College
irum J u n e i.2 to J u n e 27, 11)42.
P r e s e n t i n g not only capable but
also colorful and renowned instructors, the State Education Department was able to secure Igor I.
Sikorsky, Engineering Manager of
Vnughl-Sikorsky Aircraft, Alexander P. deSeversky, a u t h o r of the
c u r r e n t best seller, "Victory Through
Air Power," Lawrence D. Bell, P r e s ident, Bell Aircraft Corporation, and
Roland H. Spaulding, Professor of
Aviation Education, New York University.
Une h u n d r e d fifty teachers from
universities,
colleges
and
high
schools of Connecticut, Rhode I s land, Pennsylvania, and New York
State attended these lectures and
discussions with the purpose of r e turning to their respective schools
with new ideas concerning aviation
in education.
"With the war as an impetus," r e lated Dr. Donnal V. Smith, head of
Slate Social Studies Department,
and chairman of the Workshop,
"aviation will become not only a
medium for destruction, but also
will become an important cog in
the progress of peace after the war."
In recent reports received by Dr.
Smith from participating members,
everyone of the teachers have been
successful in introducing aviation
into their own individual educational facilities.
Newman Honors
Freshmen at Party
Newman Club opens its I!)'I2-,'I
season with a reception in honor of
the class of 1!MB, tonight i;l 8 P. M.
at Newman II;.II. A benediction by
the Reverend Father William F. Cahill, will precede Ihe meeting. There
will be refreshments and dancing.
"Everyone is invited, so frosh or
senior, or even Gr«d Student, come
and have a grand time!" says William Tucker, '44, President of Newman.
The annual membership drive of
Newman Club is now u n d e r way.
Other officers aiding him are VicePresident Mae Whiting, '43; Secretary
Florence Gurfall, '45; and
Treasurer Loretta Sundstrom, '43.
Newman Club is a club of C a t h olic culture and Catholic fellowship
organized to promote high moral,
intellectual, religious and social standards. It aims to strengthen the
spiritual life of its m e m b e r s and to
increase the knowledge of their r e ligion. Newman Club is affiliated
with t h e N e w m a n Club Federation.
Slash in Budget
With the reduction in masculine
enrollment and the enforced c u r t a i l ment of many proposed phases in the
extra-class program of State College,
it is expected that the budget for
this year, $12,887.76 as passed last
May by m e Student Association, will
be drastically cut.
To date, Finance Board reports the
sale of 737 student tax tickets. Last
year the total tax sales were 825.
if the budget passed last year is to
be maintained, although a cut seems
inevitable, it will be necessary for
every s t u d e n t to purchase his $14
tax as soon as possible.
u a r Curtails Activities
The effect of gasoline and tire
rationing has already been felt by
MAA with the elimination of s e v eral of its important basketball
games. WAA, also, was forced to
drop plans for its annual Indian
Ladder hike, and substitute a P l a y day at Pierce Hall instead. F r e s h man camp was discontinued this
year, probably for the duration, d u e
also to lack of transportation.
Finance Board members
from
whom tickets may be obtained are:
Mr. George M. York, Professor of
Commerce, Dr. Edward L. Cooper,
Assistant Professor of Commerce,
Robert Bartman, '43, Verne Marshall
and Ben Reed, Juniors, and Nancy
Hall and Kay Moran, Sophomores.
Financial Report Released
Dr. Cooper has released the official Finance Board report covering
the period from July, 1941 to J u l y ,
1942.
Last year, $12,882.25 was
taken in from student tax sales.
Additional money was taken in
through duplicate ticket sales, back
tax cc-ilections, and organization r e turns. Total funds were $13,116.58
plus a cash balance of $717.10, m a k ing the total funds available $13,833.68.
During the past year, Finance
Board has paid out $11,773.47 to
student organization.
This total
amount, as stated, is less the r e turns made by these organizations
to the general fund. On J u n e 23,
1942, when this report was d r a w n
up, the total cash balance was $2,161,21. This amount has since been
decreased by the payment of bills
and other expenses.
Finance Board will hold its first
meeting of Ihe year in Mr. York's
office, Room 3(13, Draper Hall, on
Wednesday at 12 noon. All m e m bers, especially those newly-elected,
are requested to attend.

SCA to Hold
Freshman Frolic
SCA will entertain this year's
freshmen, all of them, at a "gigantic,
s u p e r - s u p e r " Frosh Frolic S a t u r d a y
evening in the Commons from eight
to t e n - t h i r t y .
Informality will be
the keynote of the evening with
games, music, and skits to aid in
amusing the frosh.
Upperclassmen
are definitely not invited. The First
and Second Cabinets of SCA are not
only invited, but are expected to a t tend this evening of frivolity. Eunice
Baird and Robert Combs, J u n i o r s ,
are chairmen for the affair, and
Helen Bushnell and C u r t PfafT,
Sophomores, are s u b - c h a i r m e n .
A talent show featuring the frosh
will spotlight the evening.
Since
there was no freshman camp at
which SCA could uncover freshmen
talent, Miss Baird has requested
that members of the class of '46 who
would like to perform S a t u r d a y contact her at Ihe dorm. The rest of
the acts for the talent show are now
in rehearsal.
There
will
he
several
getacquainted games, including skits
and charades. Earl Snow, '44, will
load u community sing featuring
college songs so that the frosh may
learn all about the "Cannibal King"
and
the
"Huyler's
Chocolates."
Dancing to the Commons' vie will
conclude Ihe evening.
SCA will convene the first m e e t ing of the Freshman Club—Club '4ti,
October 22, at which time freshmen
will lie invited to join.
Smith Cheers Lonely Soldiers
With News of Pals at State
Tell il to the marines—and the
soldiers and the sailors. That's Dr.
Donnal V. Smith's idea. Tell 'em
about Stale College; keep 'em posted
about their pals in college and their
pals in the service.
Dr. Smith, Professor of Social
Studies, has just mailed his second
letter to some sixty odd State men
in the service, He tells them about
each other and relates all the " g o ingson" at Slate besides. So don't
be surprised if Pfo, John Doe, State,
class of thirty something, knows all
about the terazzo Doors in Draper
or the absence of the coke machine
outside the Annex because D. V.
has given them all the gossip.

One of the important problems
that confronted the Alumni Asociation last year has been solved. T h e
Farrell Mansion on Western A v e n u e ,
a gift to the Alumni Association, has
been given a place in the life of
s t a t e College.
At this very minute this mansion,
once the residence of Mrs. M a r g a r e t
Farrell, is now the home of 20 freshmen women. And yet a n o t h e r fact:
the conversion of the F a r r e l l M a n sion into Alumni Residence Hall No.
3 has brought nearly every freshman
woman u n d e r the direct supervision
of the college housing program. In
seven short years, the d r e a m of D e a n
Annie E. Pierce has been realized.
The decrease in the n u m b e r of
requests for room and board p o s i tions caused the last minute decision
to convert the mansion into a d o r mitory, Mrs. Bertha Brimmer, E x ecutive Secretary of the A l u m n i
Associal, announced. In two s h o r t
days, the mansion was converted
from a shadow of past glories into
comfortable and liveable q u a r t e r s
for the freshmen women.
J u n i p e r s ' F u r n i t u r e Used
Miss Mildred V. Shorday, head of
State's cooperative houses, has been
employed by the Alumni Association to manage the residence hall.
However, this dormitory is in no
sense a cooperative housing e x p e r i ment, being under direct supervision
of the college housing authorities.
F u r n i t u r e from the Junipers, a c o operative house which did not r e open this year, has been used to f u r nish the third Alumni Residence
Hall.
The bequest of this mansion w a s
the cause of much discussion last
year. Many plans were proposed as
uses for the mansion, the most i m portant being its conversion into a
student union. A discussion g r o u p
was appointed by Myskania to look
into the s t u d e n t union possibility.
Other colleges were contacted a n d
other student unions visited.
The
plan never matured, however, a n d
State College's war activities c o m pletely overshadowed all other a c tivities the last semester.
Therefore, the conversion of the mansion
into a dormitory came as a complete
surprise,
r i m e Marches On
Seven years ago, State College's
women students lived in private
homes in Albany. The erection of
Pierce Hall, Alumni Residence HaU
No, I started the trend t o w a r d
group living and the Alumni Residence Hall No. 3 completely finished
Ihe job. Every freshman girl except
four either lives at home or in a
L'i'oup house on Ihe campus. Pierce
Hall and its four cottages, the F a r i. II Mansion, sorority houses, Wren
Hall and Newman Hall all house
women students.
Moreland Hall
and (he J a m e s Fenimore Cooper
House
are
Cooperative
housing
projects.
Not only women's housing has a d vanced in Ihe past seven years. Only
a few years ago, the majority of
male students lived in private homes.
Now, with the Alumni Residence
Hall No. 2, Sayles Hall, opened for
ihe second year, the majority of
male students either live there, or
at a fraternity house. This year
Thomas More House which formerly
housed male students houses Mildred Elley students, bringing the
male students into even closer g r o u p
living quarters,
Nelson to Discuss Reserves
Dr. Milton G. Nelson, Dean, will
meet all men in college Friday afternoon at four o'clock P. M. in room
20 to discuss the Army Enlisted R e serve, V - l , V-5, V-7 and Army Air
Corps. Dr. Nelson will attempt to
answer any questions concerning
the draft problems of the men.

Wherefore Are We Here?
America is at War, and that is the grim, realistic fact with Which the State College stiuleni
body is laced today, America is at War and we
have got to do something about winning that
war as soon as is humanly possible.
To be in college in a time of national stress
is an extraordinary privilege, a privilege which
we do not seem to comprehend.
A glance
around the campus in the last lew days showed
thet the students of State College were up lo
their old tricks again. Fraternity and .Sorority
Rushing is proceeding in lull swing; the social
calendar is again cluttered with many nonessentials; the extra-class activities have made
no attempt to curtail their programs,
It is lime to wake up, Stale College, and discover wherefore, when thousands are dying and
starving and suffering, we are here.
The position of the college in war-time is a
very important one, from the standpoint of winning the war and from the .standpoint of winning the peace that follows.
Officers need
specialized training in advanced fields, and the
colleges only are equipped to provide this training. The research laboratories in the colleges
and universities of the country can strive for new
developments in countless fields connected with
the war effort,
Just as important as direct aid to the war are
the things the colleges can do to civilian morale
and life both during the war and afterward.
Here is where Stale College comes into the picture.The main task of the students here is lo
provide themselves with the knowledge and training needed lo become excellent and outstanding
teachers. They must be able io imparl to others
attitudes which make lor tolerant, inlet nationally-minded individuals who will live in harmony
and peace with eacli other throughout the countless centuries lo come. I hey musl, as the President of these United Stales has said, make' sure
thai in ihe schools "only (he living truth will
be taught"; lor ii is ihe living truth which will
ultimately triumph.
Ihe foregoing may be too greal a challenge to
the leaching profession and to ihe students ol
Slate College. Whal ol ii? Musi we let ii pass
wiihout at least a slab in the right direction?
We must, here and now, resolve thai in every
minute ol ever) hour of ever) day we will do the
things thai will make good leathers and ciii/.ens
out ol us. America needs oui minds now more
than ever, bin ii cannot use them unless ihey are
trainee1 in ihe righl way, This does nut mean
thai there is io be no leisure oi time to play.
We musl decide which is profitable pleasure and
which is frivolity. .Above all there musl be no
waste and no lethargy, only action and good
harti work this year.
We, too, must consider ourselves on a baiilefiekl; not a battlefield oi bullets, guns and tanks,
hut a battlefield ol minds—all working together
toward one and only one goal—Victory, in War
and in Peace.

Giouii and Gat-Colli
. by Kliona Ryan Well, hello, frosh! So you finally
dood it. You packed u p y o u r bags,
piled into trains and buses, and
came to see, eventually to conquer,
State. About now you should be
wondering just w h a t is going to
happen to you. You're unpacked,
you've seen, but you definitely
haven't conquered—yet.
Perhaps
you're not even s u r e if you like the
place at all; on the other hand you
may be liking it more than you e x pected. Nevertheless, without F r e s h man Camp to start you off knowing
a thing or three, you've
been
plunged into a maelstrom of s t r a n g e
faces, buildings, a n d traditions. M a y be some advice would come in
handy, huh?
You'll get advice, all right. F o r
every one freshman t h e r e should be
two or three upperclassmen h o v e r ing about ready, yea, eager to tell
you what, how, a n d w h e n to do
things. An e x t r a - o r d i n a r y freshman
would listen smilingly a n d go ahead
doing what ever he or she planned
in the first place.
A lot of you
aren't built that way, though, so be
prepared for some conflicting solutions to your problems. It may keep
you dizzy at first, but you'll be
catching on.
You'd better get used to the u p perclassmen right away. T h e r e is an
institution quaintly called "rushing."
It means just what it implies.
You'll be flattered, cajoled, and b e wildered into joining the sorority or
fraternity that "gits t h a r fust with
the mostest." Don't worry, though,
it's fun. You'll never feel so i m portant again in your life. If you're
that extraordinary freshman, you'll
watch quietly to see what group you
fit in with most easily, without u n d u e stress and strain. Which means
that you should get to know as
many upperclassmen as you can;
which may be h a r d e r than you
think. Some of the upperclassmen
will do their best to keep y o u c o n fined to one group. But that usually
means that they think quite a lot of
you, so again, don't worry too much.
Then there's S t a t e itself to get
used to. It isn't really a college, you
see, it's a training ground for teach -
ers.
Wait for a year or two a n d
you'll find yourself sliding into the
groove, even if you don't think so
now. Therefore, studies should be
important; oddly enough, they can
be fun. T h e r e is an unusually good
faculty here, and you'll have an
enviable chance to know them well.
Disregard the yowls about " a p p l e polishing" if you really want to get
better acquainted with a member of
the faculty. You don't want to h a v e
a h e r d - m i n d , do you? Insincere flattery of a professor is a collegiate
mortal sin, b u t sincere admiration
for a better or more experienced
mind than yours is a great help. It
keeps your h a t fitting your head—
so many students have trouble with
that.
B u t enough of this sermonizing.
Because college, you'll find, is an
imitation a d u l t world. The battles
to be fought a r e your own, a n d no
advice can ever help.
Whether
you'll be a "pusher," a "grind," a
"drip," or a w e l l - r o u n d e d personality is up to you. There's no such
thing, probably, as the wrong college for y o u ; there is such a thing
as you making it so.
P e r h a p s you know already what to
avoid as a freshman.
Hasty first
impressions, too many good times,
or too much studies, dependence on
others for opinions you should form,
et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. . . .
And there a r e some things you
definitely should try lo do. Be interested in the people you meet;
they really a r e funnier than a n y body.
Be a bit hesitant about
judging people by your own s t a n d ards; they might just possibly be
wrong, you know. Have at least
one e x t r a - c u r r i c u l a r activity for
letting off excess steam. And, most
of all, have lots of fun. It's free.
You can find it in classes, in dorms
and group houses, in the Boul, in
Burt's, a n y w h e r e at all. It's s u r prising how many miss it, though.
You won't, will you?
And now good-bye, frosh. You're
mi your own. Sit back and watch
things for a while, and then decide
what you want. If you have t h e
stuff, there's no one to stop you.
Good luck:

Tom F e e n e y a n d George Kunz . . . a n d these chairs
will r e m a i n e m p t y all year. . . .
TOM FEENEY, thrice elected president of his class,
captain of varsity basketball, and a m e m b e r of a m u l titude of organizations, was inducted J u l y 1st, sent to
Camp Upton, a n d later transferred to F o r t Monmouth,
Red Bank, N e w Jersey.
At p r e s e n t h e is studying to be a radio operator, so
he can send "dots and dashes and lots of flashes," b u t
the messages will probably all be bad news to the big
three h a s beens over there who never w e r e .
Tom writes that all his learning is about concrete
things . . . t h e value is clearly a p p a r e n t . . . a n d he
feels that he is really learning things. He m u s t be,
cause at last reports he was 4th in his class, which
ain't hay.
Rising daily at 4:30 ( u g h ) , he warns, "Anybody still
in college can consider themselves very lucky. Make
the most of w h a t you a r e doing, because when you get
down h e r e , it will all be strictly b u s i n e s s . . . . "
GEORGE KUNZ, jolly a l l - r o u n d good fellow, elected
head of Music Council, and Old King Cole of State,
followed the beckoning of our rich Uncle on A u g u s t 18,
and now, basic training all over, finds himself sleeping
in the former cocktail lounge of the Fleetwood Hotel
at Miami Beach. . . . Sleeping, mind you. . . .
Connected with the Air Corps, K u n z writes about
some guy n a m e d Gable who is q u a r t e r e d in the s a m e
Hotel. He also writes about women w h o mob h i m
all the time a n d call him "Clark," which seems strange
to him, b u t nice.
In his third attempt, while training on the rifle
range, Georgie m a d e a score of ten out of ten, which
is almost 100'',',. His other major accomplishments to
d a t e h a v e been singing over the radio d u r i n g a c a m p
broadcast,
a n d meeting his Captain's
daughter.
Whether on a r a n g e , before a mike, or with the C a p tain's d a u g h t e r , you can be sure that George will
do ok. . . .
Though living in luxury, K u n z misses the fellows,
et cetera, of S t a t e . "It's a great life in the army, b u t
s u r r o u n d e d by one's friends in college is much
nicer. . . ."
We, Too, Must Serve
GEORGE a n d TOM, like many others, have been
forced to m a k e sacrifices in order to take care of the
job at hand. T h o s e of us lucky enough to still be here
also have a j o b to do . . . we must thoroughly recheck
our sense of values, casting out all superficialities . . .
we must m a k e ourselves worthy of those who a r e
lighting for us, and we must do this at once, c h e e r fully, sincerely, a n d without fanfare. . . .
This m o r n i n g in Assembly there will be Iwo empty
chairs in M y s k a n i a row . . . and these chairs will
remain empty all year.
WGA Qwudi
by FelgenuaumA great deal has happened on the world's war fronts
over the s u m m e r vacation. An over-all view of the
situation gives us Ihe following picture:
The G e r m a n s opened a gigantic pincers movement
which they hoped would carry them to the rich oil
fields of the Nec.r East and which would give them
control of the Su^ . Canal. The n o r t h e r n arm of the
pincers struck in . ,,.ulhini Russia with a devasaling
force. The Russi. is w e i r forced lo retreat, but they
made the G e r m a n ; a y nearly I r their gains. Their
overwhelming s u | i r.ority in nu !i and machines carried
the Nazis to the fringes of lb.. Caucasian Mountains
and to the o u t s k i r t s of Stalingrad. Stalingrad controls
the Vulga River which is Ihe life-line of Russia. T h e
battle of the city still goo; un with the Russian
defenders committed to a "slai'd or die" policy.
The s o u t h e r n a r m of the pincers was in command
of the wily G e n e r a l Rommel in Libya. He hit the
British Eighth Army with everything he h a d and
drove into Egypt sixty miles from the British naval
base at A l e x a n d r i a . The British stiffened and stopped
him at El Alamein. Lasl week he attacked again, but
the British, reinforced with American men, tanks, and
planes, stopped him and forced him to r e t r e a t to his
original position.
In the Phlllipines it was "too little." A t J a v a it was
"too late." B u t in the Solomon Islands it was Tulagi.
After defensive naval victories in the Coral Sea a n d
at Midway Island, United States' forces went on t h e
offensive. Led by the Marines, American troops drove
the Japs out of the Solomon Islands a n d a r e holding
against J a p c o u n t e r - a t t a c k s . Commandos struck at
Dieppe on the F r e n c h coast.

Aeronautics School
S t u d e n t s attending Milne High
School can now take courses in

introducing these courses, under the
sponsorship of the U. S. Office of
Education. Dr. Carleton A. Moose,
Assistant Professor a n d Supervisor
in Science, will teach the course in
F u n d a m e n t a l s of Radio. Dr. William
Fullagar, Assistant Supervisor in
Science, will conduct the course in
E l e m e n t a r y Aeronautics.
T h e Aeronautics course does not
a t t e m p t to t u r n out licensed technicians or pilots. It does however a t tempt to make the high school stud e n t air-conscious, and to have him
realize the importance of the airplane, both in the present and in the
p o s t - w a r situation.
The course is
open to juniors and seniors at Milne.
preferably boys; girls will also be
a d m i t t e d . Laboratory work in the
course will include the building of
model airplanes, both rubberband
a n d gasoline models. Emphasis will
be laid on meteorology (the study of
the w e a t h e r ) , on aerodynamics (the
how and why of flying), on air
foils, on streamlining of the airplane, a n d on how and why planes
behave as they do in the air. S t u dents will also study Ihe mechanics
of the airplane engine, avigation
(which is navigation in the a i r ) , and
airplane safety rules and regulations.
T h e radio course will emphasize
the fundamental scientific principles
u n d e r l y i n g the transmission and r e ception of radio signals, and will he
highly mathematical in nature. The
purpose of this course is to provide
p r e l i m i n a r y training in Ihe fundamentals of radio communication as
r e c o m m e n d e d by the U. S. Military
A u t h o r i t i e s . T h e course is open to
s t u d e n t s who are taking, or who
h a v e completed high school physics
a n d intermediate algebra. Preference
in this course, as well as in the
aeronautics course, will be to boys.
Boys who have completed
this
course, said Dr. Moose, will find e n listment in the U. S. Signal Corps
greatly facilitated.
As far as m a terials ure available, students will
construct simple transmitters and
receivers.
Teachers for these radio and
aeronautics courses throughout the
c o u n t r y are not specially trained.
T h e y a r e , for the most part, math
and science teachers who are interested in radio and aviation. Some
of t h e colleges are offering teachert r a i n i n g courses in these fields. D u r ing the past summer, Cornell University and Columbia University,
among several other colleges, offered
such courses in their summer session.

D. V. Smith
(Continued from Page /, Col. U
Although D. V.'s cheery little p u b lication doesn't reach the WAVES
and the WAACS, Molly Gill and
Eileen Wallace receive mention as
members of the women's army.
Molly was formerly a member of the
class of '44. (D. V. omits class n u merals because "after all, this isn't
the Alumni Quarterly".)
How one man can keep in contact with almost 100 men and
handle his classes besides is hard to
understand. But D. V. manages it.
Surely many poor, lonely soldiers

her doctorate in Library Science
during the summer, at the University of Chicago. M. Annette Dobbin, Instructor in French, received
the degree of Doctor of Modern
Languages from Middlebury College.
Proficiency
in
three
languages,
French, Spanish and German is
necessary for Ibis degree. Dr. Dobbin is one ol live in the United
States who hold this degree, and
the third to obtain the degree with
French as the major subject. Miss
Margaret Hayes, Assistant Professor
uf Education, was granted the doctorate by Teachers College, Columbia University, last spring.
Dr. Carleton E. Power, formerly
Professor of Science, has become
Professor of Physics, fill ng the
position left m e n by the retirement
of Dr, Clarence F. Hale. Dr. L o u i s C .

Chesterlown, Md., it was the first
time the college awarded an honorary degree lo a woman.
Reaching back into the available
supply of teachers from the last six
graduating classes, the S t u d e n t E m ployment B u r e a u has placed the
greatest n u m b e r of teachers in a n y
similar period in its history. Mr.
Paul G. Bulger, director of the b u reau, says, "This is d u e to t h e fact
that most of the m e n teachers w h o
would have been employed in t e a c h ing jobs a r e now either in vital d e fense work or with the armed forces,
and there is an increasing n u m b e r
of places to fill from men teachers
being drafted." T h e r e are left less
than a dozen qualified teachers to
fill positions in the coming months.
Of the 1042 g r a d u a t i n g class, M a u ritz Johnson, Thomas Augustine,
Howard Reig, and H a r r y Passow a r e

STATE COLLEGE NEWS, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1942
PACE 4
W A A Schedule ABSENT
Spant
Offers Students
It is with a deep trust in the virtue of hope that the men of the class
of 1946 have started their freshman
year here at State. With this country in need of manpower, college
men are finding it more and more
difficult to finish what they started
in their freshman year. Yet, still
they come, undaunted and hopeful.
Hopeful that, even thougli hell is
loose on earth, they may obtain a
college education.
It is with this in mind that we
extend a warm hand of friendship
to welcome the frosh into the sports
life of State College.
•

Starting a school year for the
first time since this country entered
the war, we find that the athletic
program of the college is once again
feeling the effects of a nation at
arms.
Last spring varsity baseball was
wiped out of the State College picture principally because of transportation difficulties. Now the basketball schedule finds itself in a
hazardous position. Coach G. Elliot
Hatfield admits the basketball situation is grave but added, "As yet we
know nothing."
* * * *
Here's how the situation is at
present:
1. One college has already cancelled its scheduled contests with
State, reducing the number of
games listed from twelve to eleven.
2. Transportation difficulties will
be encountered in the trip to Potsdam and Canton, where State is
scheduled to meet Clarkson and St.
Lawrence, respectively. This may
reduce the season's contests to
seven, since these colleges will in
all probability cancel their games

Cancel Frosh Camp;
No 'Busses Available
The inability to secure busses for
transportation caused the cancellation of the freshman camps fur the
class of 1946.
This marks the first year since
frosh camp was started that an
entering class to State College did
not spend the weekend before matriculation at Cossayuna Lake and
Burden Lake.
The omission of frosh camp, which
had developed into an established
tradition, came as a surprise to most
of the undergraduates. Owen Bombard and Lois Hafley, seniors, who
were in charge of this year's outdoor
weekend for boys and girls, respectively, regret that plans could not be
carried out as scheduled.
The freshman suffered bhe greatest
loss when their weekend camp was
cancelled. It offered them an excellent opportunity of getting acquainted with other members of their
class in an informal atmosphere.
Here, too, the frosh would receive
a preview of the State way of doing
things.

Faculty Workshop
Is Successful Venture
Dr. John M. Sayles, President of
State College, has released the complete report on the Faculty Workshop held at State College during
the month of June. Participants included faculty members of various
colleges throughout the state. Dr.
Sayles, Dr. Robert Frederick, Principal of the Milne School, and Dr.
J. Allan Micks, Professor of Education, were the State College reprerentatives on the planning committees.
Participants In the workshop enrolled in one of three groups: I
Human Development and Behavior;
II Reading, Writing and Speaking;
III Professional Education of Teachers.
The topics were discussed
through general and group meetings,
conferences with consultants and individual study.
Group I rated individual responsibility, flexible schedules, preplanning for meetings and having
resource people available as the most
valuable of the workshop techniques.
Recreational and art opportunities
were deemed useful as balances for
other activities, for developing creative skills and for coming to know
other people. The pro and con of
various educational beliefs was discussed, and a larger use of discussion, preferably prepared discussions,
was advocated.
Group II discussed motivations,
materials and procedures in regard
to its subject of communication.
Group III on teacher education
discussed procedures, philosophy, the
utilization of community resources.
The workshop accomplished its
purpose, and its sponsors, the Committee on Teacher Education of the
Association of Colleges and Universites of N- Y. State were satisfied.

A miniature World War II will be
waged in Page Hall in assembly today as four of the United Nation's
active servicemen congregate to recount their harrowing experience on
the various battlegrounds of Europe
and Asia.
Among the heroes is an Englishman, Captain Peter Cochrane, 23,
D.S.O. and bearer of the Military
Cross of the Cameron Highlanders.
He has been in the army since the
beginning of the war fighting in
Libya and Italian East Africa.
The Netherlands' representative
is Raden Kadir, a knight of OrangeNassau, who was born in Java.
Barely escaping with his life at the
fall of the Dutch East Indies, he fled
to the United States where he is now
attached to the Netherlands Information Service.
The Chinese delegate is unique in
that she is a woman and an actress.
Miss Yung Wang received her education at a university in Tokio but
returned to her native China to
raise funds for China's wounded
soldiers at the beginning of the Japanese invasions.
There is only tentative information available lo date as to the identity of the Russian. Either Nikolai
Krasavchonko, with the thrilling details of his hair-breadth escape
through 250 miles of enemy occupied
territory, or Vladimir Pohelintsev,
one of the best snipers at the Leningrad front will give the vivid picture
of the Russian war arena.
These men and woman have had
reserved seats in the great Collosseum of International Disorder.
They have seen their trench-mates
shot down in action, their countries
ransacked and demolished, their
armies victorious and vanquished.
Their purpose is to sow the seed of
war consciousness here in America.
This group is one of several teams
sponsored by the International Student Service and National Student
Federation of America whose job it
is to send out similar representatives
throughout the colleges and univer.vties of the world.
The group will arrive Friday
morning in time for assembly and
will remain in Albany until Sunday.
They will make their headquarters
at Sayles Hall until their departure
for Bennington College in Vermont.
