Sophs Threaten Frosh on Rivalry;
Juniors Come to Rescue of 46
By a Sophomore
"And the condemned men ate a
hearty meal."
This epitaph will soon find a
new meaning within tlie hallowed
halls of State, so declared Flo Garfall at a meeting of the Class of
'45 a week ago yesterday.
For, my dear little frosh, you
are to be battling for your very
lives in a precious few weeks! And
you are to be feted once more
before the "Reds" begin to mop the
floor.
One week from today the Sophomore will hold their annual reception for the "greenhorns". At
this time the two rival classes will
have the opportunity to look over
the opposition and plan their
methods of attack. As in the past,
the '46'ers will also have Myskanla
inform them of the traditions of the
college and the inter-class rivalry
rules. How well will they learn
the true facts about the "unknown"!
The day before Campus Day,
which will be on October 17th
this year, will mark the opening
of "new business on hand—to be
disposed of quickly and completely."
The feature event of the men's
division will be the treating of the
frosh to a "little game of musclerelaxing", commonly known about
the school as pushball. The next
afternoon the Sophs will provide a
final resting place for those who
still remain, on the football battle
field.
So frosh beware!
In the meantime you are cordially
invited to assemble your forces,
make your few last acquaintances,
order a Tooy-Tombstone by simply
sending tL ' n l ) 0 X t()PH and l n e name
of your next of kin to any member
of the class of '45, and wait. The
"Crimson Tide" will see that you
are welcomed to Inter-Class Hivalrv in more ways than are proscribed
in your handbook.

Hey there frosh!! It's your turn
to launch a blitzkrieg on those gay
but foolish sophomores. We did
it last year and we mopped the
halls of State, rolled the grass in
front of Page Hall, and collected a
few pairs of trousers. Only this
year, we think that you should go a
step further and dunk a few of them
in the icy waters of Washington
Park Lake.
From the looks of your class, it's
a cinch. You have the brains and
you have the brawn, while the
sophs are a different type. They're
too heavy for light work and too
light for heavy work.
Let us give you a few bints on
how to beat those cocky sophs.
When you get into the pushball
game, grab their ears, they're large
enough. Hit 'em hard; they'll fold
up like an old beach chair. Then,
while they're dazzled by this display of force, roll that large pill over
them and over the goal lino.
All you have to do in the football game Is to hit 'em hard and
low, and you can breeze over them
with the grace and ease that we
did. Since they warble like a chorus
of frogs on u sultry summer night,
you will sound like nightingales in
comparison at the song contest.
They are all very tongue-tied and
inexpressive when it comes to debate, so just stand up there and give
a fair argument and you will clinch
it, As for stunts, their skits remind
one of a bunch of ham actors doing
thoir strut. Just put on a peppy
stunt and you will have them bowing
their heads in shame.
And so, frosh, while we hold no
bitterness in our hearts for the
Sophs only pity; our patience is
about exhausted by their wise ways
and cracks. We want you to knock
their ears down and win for good
old '4(1. We, your sister class are
backing you all the way, so go to it.
It's all yours.

From where we sit, viewing the
sports parade, WAA has missed the
boat regarding the tennis tournament, School has been in session
more than two weeks and still the
tourney hasn't begun, We realize
that the weather has been bad, but
there have been some good days on
which matches could have been
played.
The fall tennis season in Albany
is so short that no more time should
be lost. So, come on, WAA, get on
the ball. The interest shown in
last year's successfully completed
tournament and in this year's
tourney by the number of those
signed up for it, warrants immediate
playoffs. We'd like to see last year's
newly begun record of a finished
tourney unbroken.
Short of the Week
People never appreciate what
others do for them. We of the
sports department don't ask for
praise, however, we want you to
know the lengths to which we go to
bring you the true facts about WAA
and its sports. Two members of
the sports staff volunteered to go
riding last Saturday.
Everything

so. After standing up through her
noon meal, she said—quote—Holy
Joe, do the WAA girls do this every
week? So you can see that we don't
just sit around all the time but
really participate in the activities
offered by WAA.
Ride at the Range
Riding is fun and grand exercise.
It is, perhaps, the most expensive
sport on WAA's list since it costs one
dollar an hour. But if you go ten
times, WAA gives you a five dollar
refund. This reduces the charge to
fifty cents an hour, a small sum for
the pleasure you receive. WAA
riding is done at The Ranch on Colto handle, yet spirited. If you've

never been on a horse, ask for Silver
Queen, a gentle mare, shaped like a
blimp, with a gait like a milk-wagon
horse. The bridle path wends its
way through meadows and woods,
backyards and chicken runs, across
four-strip highways and along the
main line of the Central. And you're
accompanied by a MAN—age 15,
name Bill.
Each week we, the members of
the Woman's Sports Staff, are going
to try another of the sports offered
to the women of the college. Watch
for our amazing real-life adventures—to be continued next week.
Seriously though, let's get out
there and back WAA. In these
times we should all be as physically
lit as possible.

this staff will be to collect facts on
college life here during the last
decade of the last century. After
enough material has been gathered
a writing committee will start
work on the show.
Members
of Operatic Society and freshmen
who are trying out for Music Council are especially urged to help
gather material. Miss Studebaker
states, "After research is completed,
try-outs for parts in the musical will
be held, but nothing can be done
until we have the material gathered," She further stated that these
try-outs will be open to every student. Rehearsals will begin as soon
as a story and music have been decided upon. Miss Studebaker points
out that, inasmuch as this is a new
venture, every student should get
behind it and help make it a success.

their activities in college.
Tho.se two members und Miss
Jeannette Shay represent the Junior
Class on the council. From these
three a treasurer for the council
will soon be chosen.
Rivalry Rules To Be Read
Myskania's part of the program is
to announce and explain the froshsoph rivalry rules. Last year there
was some confusion regarding these
rules, and Myskania hopes to avoid
any misunderstanding this year.
Members of the audience are to feel
free to ask questions. An additional
feature of the evening will be the
singing of the Alma Mater by bothclasses.
The highlight of the program will
be the presentation of the sophomore skit, an annual event. The
plot of the skit has been kept
secret, but the sophomores have
revealed that they have an all-star
cast, including Nora Giavelli, Sunna
Cooper, and Harold Goldstein. The
skit is under the direction of Ruth
Hines, assisted by Margaret Bostwick and Elsie Whipple.
Dancing, Refreshments to Follow
Following the skit the audience
will adjourn to the gymasium, where
there will be refreshments, games,
and dancing. Name tags will be
given out at the door. The floor
has been freshly waxed, and music
will issue from a vie rented for the
occasion. In former years the dancing has been held in the Commons,
but has been transferred to the
gymnasium this year because of
difficulty in blacking-out the Commons.
"We expect a 100% turn-out of
both classes," says Flo Garfall. "Besides, the refreshments are really
good—ice cream and cookies."

All-State Dance
Arrayed with the clashing colors
of the banners of all State College's
classes, the All State Dance for
the second consecutive year, will
take place in both Sayles and Pierce
Halls. Friday, October 23, is the
date; the time !) p. m. to 1 a. m.
Music from two bands, each attempting to outdo the other, will
provide the rhythm for the anticipated crowd of 120 couples. Replacing Senior Hop, the Senior,
Junior, Sophomore, und freshman
classes have combined to present the
unified spirit of the entire college.
In an effort to keep the price at a
level attainable to ull of State's men,
bids have been fixed at the low
price of $1.05, including tax. Following lust year's precedence and as an
udded economy, the dance will be
semi-formal, sparing the man from
the expence of securing tuxedos.
In accordance with-the War Activities Council's suggestion that
expenses be kept ut u minimum,
faculty members will receive invitations through personal handwritten notes from the dance committee chairman, Mildred Mattice,
'43. Representing the Junior Class
on the committee is Richmond
Young, while arrangements for the
bands will be made by Florence
Garfall, '45.

Rivalry For Sale?
The clays which were characterized by freshmen-sophomore rivalry in its wildest, must unrestrained forms are gone—perhaps forever, bin
at least "for' the duration." Such frivolity has
no place in an institution for higher learning
while our country is at war.
But rivalry will go on—with some of the
events changed, but it will continue. T h e question now before its' is, what to substitute for the
mascot and banner hunts which were discontinued and which counted 10 points. It has been
suggested that rivalry points be awarded to the
class contributing most to the war effort—in
various ways, among which is the buying of war
bonds and stamps. Diverting enthusiasm for
rivalry into productive work, work that will aid
the war effort is all well and good, but the
minute you place emphasis on buying, even
though it be war stamps, you place rivalry on a
commercial basis, something it was never meant
to be and something it should never become.
Rivalry in the past has been won by the class
that was superior in both physical and mental
prowess, and by the class with the most enthusiasm, not by the class whose individual members had the most spending money.
Let's give State students, freshmen and sophomores in this case, credit lor some patriotism.
And if they do have some patriotism they arc
buying as main war stamps and bonds as the)
can afford, Is it lair then to expecl these students to sacrifice their lunch money, their recreation motif) in order to win rivalry?
Let's not thrust an added financial burden on
their shoulders and let's not commercialize a
long-established tradition.
State Lifts Its Face
Everyone talks about the social and scholastic
changes Slate has undergone since last December, but few mention the actual physical changes
made in the past year. Still fewer appreciate the
L'lfori and money invested in such college improvements.
The lower halls ol Huested and Draper, alter
two weeks of disorder, have taken on a modern,
rejuvenated appearance with their new terra/./.o
flooring, Already the .Annex area looks cleaner
with the more sanitary floor replacing the drab
wooden one. The science department has been
modernized; the heavy peristyle doors have been
repaired; additional shrubbery now adorns the
campus.
These improvements merit special attention
not only for their obvious value, hut because
they were completed in spile of the restrictions
necessitated by war shortages.
In a national
emergency .such as the one we are experiencing
right now, any improvements are surprising.
Thanks to tlie administration, State at least has
had its face partially lilted.

General Billy Mitchell, formerly of
the United States A r m y , was an e n thusiastic exponent of air power, and
of t h e airplane's superiority over the
battleship. He also contended that
the country which controls Alaska
holds a dagger at t h e h e a r t of continental United States. Mitchell was
a little before his times, and he was
c o u r t - m a r t i a l e d by those men in the
a r m y who had not his vision and
foresight.
T h e Japanese, however, took his
lesson to heart, and a t the first o p portunity landed troops on the two
most western islands of t h e Aleutian
chain. Despite bombings by A m e r i can aircraft the J a p s soon started
their progress to the east by occupying another island.
Last week
A m e r i c a n troops moved west to meet
this threat by landing on the A n dreanof Islands from which A m e r i can bombers pummeled t h e J a p s u n ceasingly. Yesterday morning the
Navy announced that there had been
no sign of the enemy on two of the
islands for several days, and that it
is possible that the J a p s had w i t h d r a w n all their forces to t h e lone
island of Kiska.
by Feigenbaum
General M a c A r t h u r
announced
that the Japs h a d also been forced
to withdraw on the Island of N e w
Guinea. Australian troops pushing
through the g a p in the Owen Stanley
mountain range had been forced to
slow down because of the difficult
terrain.
The Japanese attempted a c o u n terattack in the Solomon Islands
when they tried to land a force on
the Guadalcanal Island.
Allied
bombers broke up the invasion fleet,
but the Japs did succeed in landing
some troops.
The Russian c o m m u n i q u e says
that the city of Stalingrad is still
u n d e r heavy G e r m a n assaults, b u t
that the lines of the defenders are
still holding firm.
Norwegian uprisings and the fear
of an allied invasion have caused the
G e r m a n s to clamp a rule of terror on
Norway. Hostages a r e being seized
to force Norwegian workmen to
labor on G e r m a n coastal fortifications. In Trondheim fifteen more
Norwegians were executed by the
G e r m a n s in connection with charges
concerning a plot to sabotage the
Trondheim naval base.

Not too far from Albany there is a
small section of the c o u n t r y p o p u lated almost entirely by artists,
writers and people of such ilk. B e cause of the heavy percentage of
men and women who a r e "odd"
enough to think that some things
;ire more important than money and
social position, this same area is one
of the best examples of a working
democracy to be found.
In fact,
there is a S a r o y a n e s q u e quality
about it all—a small town banker
who pays mortgages out of his own
pocket, a grocer who refuses to collect bills, a farmer who is fanatically
interested in the ballet,
I happen to have a peculiar interest in South Mountain Road as the
colony is called, because Mary Mowbray Clarke, the founder, is my
aunt. Thirty-five years ago or more,
she settled in one of the p r o - R e v o l u tionary farms on the road with her
sculptor husband, and proceeded to
work out n life devoted to the arts,
but based on fundamental elements,
such as farming and handicrafts.
Gradually, more a n d more artists
and writers were attracted there u n til now the telephone directory reads
like a Who's Who Among America's
Art Circles.
The most widelyknown name is Maxwell Anderson's,
b u t there a r e many others such as
Waldo Pierce and Maurice Cantor,
the painters, and Ruth Reeves, the
textile designer, who a r e admittedly
t o p - r a n k in their special fields.
I h a v e been fortunate enough to
stay a t the "Brochen," my aunt's
home, several times, and through her
by Itlionn Kyan
to know and appreciate the significance of South Mountain Road.
For this small area probably holds
more talent and genius per square
mile than any other comparable spot
on the earth's surface. For more
definite proof, I invite anyone to
visit Maxwell Anderson's home, as I
did, and to gaze spell-bound at one
of the most beautifully unified and
exquisite houses existing outside of
Frank Lloyd Wright's imagination.
And every stone, timber, and piece
of wood has come from the road itself, the labor was given by the
farmers and young artists, and the
furniture, paintings, rugs, etc., have
been fashioned and designed by the
South Mountain Road art colony.
Even a good portion of the books
have been written on the road.
But, to me, the most .heartening
result of my stay there was the final
proof that a full, rich life'' depends
not on money or even intelligence,
hut upon living as one wants,
though in co-operation with others
for the general good. It goes without saying, that in most communities
this doesn't work out at all, but
somehow it has on South Mountain
Road. But I can feel a tremendous
pride because once average citizens
scoffed at my aunt for thinking thai
life was more than just earning
money, and that it must embrace a
high idealism combined with a
knowledge of hard realities- I'd like
to tell you some other time of the
hard realities she faced while South
Mountain Road became what it is—
a landmark to h e r own personality
and the vital truth of her beliefs.

Newman to Honor
Anniversary Day
Club W i l l Organize
Studies for Thursdays
The Newman Club Federation has
set Sunday as "Newman Day," since
it is the S u n d a y nearest the a n n i versary of Cardinal Newman's r e ception into the church on October
9, 1845. T h e N.Y.S.C.T. Newman
Club commemorated the event by
the discussion at the regular m e e t ing, last night at 7:30 in Newman
Hall.
F a t h e r Cahill, Chaplain, opened
the meeting with Benediction of the
Blessed Sacrament.
T h e meeting
was followed by a discussion of the
life and works of J o h n Henry
Cardinal Newman, after whom N e w man Club is named. Dr. Catherine
Peltz, Instructor in English, and
F a t h e r Cahill presented t h e facts
and some of the highlights of his
life.
The Study Clubs which Newman
Club is organizing, will go into
action next Thursday evening with
the first meeting of the General
Study Club at N e w m a n Hall. This
group will meet' on the alternate
Thursday nights, that is, on the
Thursday nights on which N e w m a n
Club does not meet. Various topics
of general Catholic interest will be
discussed informally by the members
of Newman Club and F a t h e r Cahill.

Sophomore who went to t h e C o m mons on Activities Day. No samples
did h e have to show t h e anxious
frosh; no table room could h e beg
from t h e committee in c h a r g e of
a r r a n g e m e n t s . Nothing did h e have
but a convincing line, a pencil a n d
a sheet of paper.
"You've seen them, freshmen, t h e
eleven most important, most r e spected, most, shall we say, i n t e M - '
gent members of the student body."
He ranted on, p r a i s i n g - t h e eleven,
urging t h e freshmen to "gather
around and sign up for Myskania!"
T h r e e wide-eyed youngsters listened.
One swallowed h a r d and
whispered, "Got a pencil?" T h e
others became enthusiastic a n d Don
Kircher, J e a n Ferris, a n d Sylvia
Proper wrote their names, added an
imposing '"46."
Clara Skavina tugged a t t h e
speaker's coat sleeve a n d asked,
"Really, can we become m e m b e r s
so soon?"
"Yes, Ma'm," he assured her,
shoving the paper and pencil in
her direction.
Down went eight more names:
Eileen Moody, Patricia Dunn, Helen
Burczak, Winnie Lulkoski, Marie
Liebl, Arlene Skinner, Gloria M c Ferran, and Eleanor Smith.
Art Russell demanded, "Give me
proof!"
Sophs, Frosh Wailing—
Banner Hunt Is No More
It's the night for Banner r i v a l ry! There's a gang of Frosh and
Sophs in the far corner of the
"Frosh Roost", (balcony to some
of u s ) . . . .
"Soph-o-mores!" comes a long
d r a w n - o u t yell. . ."Sophomores!"
That was last year. This year?
Well—there's a war going on.
There a r e blackouts, air raid alerts
and though the Sophs can take
all that, Myskania isn't very sure
about '46, so-o-o, for 2Vz o f the
rivalry points, the working m a jority (ferns to you) will play
a hot field hockey game. As for
the rest of the 10 points, Myskania
hopes to announce them before
C a m p u s Day.
A word to the wise, Frosh
"Watch '45, they're really super!"
And, Sophs—vice-versa!
.ommission
The Sophomore, taking Russell
into his confidence, pointed to a
Senior a n d said, VSee h e r ?
Well,
she signed u p four years' ago. J u s t
watch her sport h e r c a p and gown
at next Friday's assembly."
And another name was added to
the list.
That made thirteen. Didn't the
F r e s h m a n Handbook say t h a t n o t
more than thirteen Myskania m e m bers were chosen annually? T h e
freshmen weren't to be fooled—oh
no, n o t they. So they left and
wandered over to t h e tables.
But Shirley Ford, willing to take
a chance, returned. Not satisfied
with her role of class marshall, the
greedy girl signed up with the e x pectation that someone might drop
out, Betty Williams became No. .15
on the list, and Bradley Scrafford,
third boy to add his name, was the
last embryonic Myskania-ite.
He collected names for an hour
and a half, the Sophomore who
went to the Commons. Then he
spent another hour and a half
chuckling to himself.
William Pawlucki, who didn't see
the solicitor, thought he'd missed
his opportunity. B u t when he went
home to Sayles Hall lamenting,
some helpful upperclassmen told
him they might "arrange it, but
it'll probably cost you 'hush money.'"
Three days later, t h e denials of
freshman verdancy came from K i r cher and Russell who claimed they
did it "just for fun." To which
the soliciting Sophomore replied,
"Oh, yeah!"
Re: SEB Assistant Director

Football is only one week old
h e r e at State, b u t after a glimpse
of all eight squads in action, we
find t h a t n o one team is outstanding.
T h e r e is n o squad which outclasses
all other loop m e m b e r s as was
t h e case in past years.
Potter
Club, last year's champions, w a s t h e
class of t h e league then.
They
were h a r d pressed in only a few
games to go undefeated for t h e
season. T h e same c a n b e said of
KDR in previous campaigns.
T h e i942 race, however, promises
to be as close a fight for t h e c h a m pionship as t h e recent St. L o u i s Brooklyn pennant chase in the
National League.
According to last w e e k s play
Potter Club a n d Dorm " A " ( T r o jans) appear as strong contenders
tor t h e I n t r a m u r a l Cup.
Potter
Club h a s a flock of good experienced
players a n d a r e tops defensively.
They have a well balanced squad,
b u t they seem deficient in s o m e thing just as important—and that
is spirit.
(Remember the World
S e r i e s ? ) . P e r h a p s the 6-6 tie with
K D R last week h a s aroused the
Potter lads from their lethargy.
Trojans Heavy
T h e Trojans have weight to their
distinct advantage a n d so far they
h a v e p u t it to good use. They h a v e
good r u n n i n g a n d blocking, a l though they a r e weak on the p a s sing. It will be quite a battle when
the Trojans meet Potter C l u b and
the w i n n e r of this contest will
have a lot to say about the c h a m pionship.
KDR, with their n e w shift, is
the d a r k horse of the league. Their
chief w o r r y is material as t h e r e
a r e n o capable substitutes to r e place the starting six. Kappa Beta
and S L S will be battling it out
for the other first division spot.
K B looks very weak on the offense
being able to connect with only
short passes, while missing pitifully
on r u n n i n g a n d long passes. S L S
has a fairly good attack but is
charged with some loose playing.
Both teams are only average on the
defense.
Dorm " B " , the Finks, a n d the
Ramblers a r e the three weak sisters of the league. All three squads
lack experienced players. However,
they are pushovers for no team
in the league as they are fighting
all the time and may cause upsets.
As a surprise to many was the
play of the Finks. Rated as h o p e lessly out-classed, they have put u p
good battles before bowing to d e feat in their two contests so far.
Incidently, the longest r u n of the
campaign was made by a Fink, A r t
Olivet, when he scampered the
length of the field to a touchdown
in the K B game.
Rule Changes
A few changes have been made
on the rules governing the I n t r a m u r a l League. A play is stopped
w h e n a n opposing player touches
the ball carrier simultaneously with
two hands any place on the back,
above the legs and below the
shoulders.
The other change is
t h a t in order to stop the ball c a r rier, the opponents m u s t touch him
in the designated space and not
push or block him out of bounds.
Penalty for breaking this last rule
is a first down for the offensive
team at the point of the infraction.
* * *
This week we would like to pay
t r i b u t e to a first class frosh—a man
sporting the name of Dan Gillun.
Dan plays football with the Dorm
" B " squad. He is not an outstanding
star, but only an average playeryet h e receives o u r vote as the
moBt spirited player that we have
been privileged to see.
When a youth, he was a victim of
infantile paralysis, which caused the
shortening of his left leg by a few
inches.
However,
despite
this
handicap D a n Is very active in
sports. Besides football, h e plays
basketball a n d Softball a n d is a
very enthusiastic bowler.
If this
is the symbol of t h e spirit that
lie* i n t h e c l a w of '46, the S o p h o -
moraa had better beware.

Class Nominations
In Orientation
Election Day to Be
Oct. 26 in Commons
Nominations for officers of the
Class of '46 were held last Monday
d u r i n g the weekly Orientation m e e t ing. F'ive men and four women were
nominated for the Presidency.
In the last two years in spite of
their fewer n u m b e r s , there have
been a majority of men entering the
presidential campaign. T h e women,
however, wary of male domination,
liave successfully pooled their votes
to elect women presidents. Pat C a r roll was elected Frosh President for
'44 by a slim margin, the first feminine executive in ten years. The
Class of '45 elected Flo Garfall in the
first revote by an overwhelming
majority.
According to the a n n u a l custom,
voting for Freshman officers will be
held in the Commons by secret b a l lot, with Myskanla supervising. The
date set is October 26, before which
every candidate and voter must have
paid his class dues.
Nominations can still be made by
contacting any m e m b e r of Myskanla.
When the NEWS went to press, the
following candidates had been nominated:
President: Stanley Abrams, Richard Chelleni, J e a n Ferris, Beth H a r per, Donald Kircher, Robert Merrill,
Sylvia Propper, Lynn Wolff, and
Dale Wood.

Coach G. E. Hatfield has issued

this season. P r e l i m i n a r y training is
to begin early n e x t week. Coach
Hatfield is calling out the frosh
earlier t h a n the upperclassmen in
order to get some idea of the

On November 2, the C a m p u s Chest
will inaugurate its second annual
drive. Sol Greenberg, '43, will be in
charge of the committee which includes the President and V i c e - P r e s i dent of Student Association, the
Presidents of Student Christian A s sociation, Newman Club, and Hillel
Society, and Miss Sara T. Deianey,
Dean of Women. The drive will be
brought to a close on Armistice Day,
November 12.
Last year, the lour h u n d r e d dollars which was collected from s t u dents was divided between the Keel
Cross, World Student Service Fund,
USO, Naval Relief and tuberculosis
and paralysis funds.
Contributions
from the curent campaign will be
given to the same organizations and
any other worthy cause which might
arise. Fifty dollars already has been
donated lo the NEWS, to be used for
sending copies of the paper lo u n dergraduates and g r a d u a t e s now in
the armed forces.
For the current campaign, each
and every student will be approached by the solicitors. T h e Campus
Chest drive takes place only once a
year, consequently students are not
asked for contributions several times
during tin- year for various "causes."
Each one is expected to oiler at
least fifty cents. Said Sol G r e e n berg, "Although we hope to get 100',
of fifty-cent contributions, the d e creased enrollment and more vital
cause should prompt as many as possible lo give a little more."
Any Junior or Sophomore who
desires to act as solicitor should contact Greenberg.

Kita Mickey, '43, was elected P r e s ident of Pi G a m m a Mu, national S o cial Studies honorary fraternity, at
a recent meeting of the group. Lucy
Massimilian was elected Vice-President; Mae Whiting, Secretary. Betty
Bailey is the new treasurer; Harley
Dingman is program director. M e m bers of Pi G a m m a Mu are selected
each year, by the outgoing seniors,
from those m e m b e r s of the Social

great interest in their field, and who
are outstanding in scholarship as
well as in personality. Only seniors
may be m e m b e r s of the fraternity.
Rita Hickey, President, has a n nounced that, d u e to a change in the
national constitution allowing the
chapter to have a total of fifteen
members, it may be possible that
additional members will be chosen
from this year's Senior Class. Two
of the m e m b e r s of Pi Gamma Mu
chosen last Moving Up Day, Thomas
Feenoy, and George Kunz, have been
inducted into the armed services of
the United States.
Among its varied activities, this
Social Studies society plans to c o n tact sophomores who are interested
in majoring or minoring in Social
Studies. The Pi Gamma Mu m e m bers will act as advisors in helping
these sophomores select their p r o gram and related subjects. The Pi
