The Task at Hand
Ai long last, the student body has an opjxu*iunity this weekend lo do a genuine service for
the war effort, Tomorrow evening, the group
houses of the college and the fatuity will present
an extraordinary evening ol entertainment and
fun for the ostensible purpose of providing
funds for the operation and maintenance ol War
Activities on this campus.
There arc numerous projects and tasks which
the War Council has been planning to undertake, but it is powerless lo act unless ii lias
sufficient funds to carry out its ideas.
In next week's assembly the student body will
have a voice in the allocation of the monies
obtained through tomorrow night's "Fair". Ii
is anticipated thai more money will be made
than is at present needed to carry the War
Activities themselves through until the end ol
the year. Ii must be assumed that the War
Activities Council is in the best position to siifj^est how and where the surplus should go. for
ibis reason only, will definite proposals be
placed before the student body.
Now is not the time to question the organi/.au'on ol the council, or its past errors. There
are specific and concrete War Activities which
will sillier unless ihey receive immediate aid and
backing from the entire student body. These
aitivitics are considered vital ones In the New
N oi k Slate and Albans Wai Couin ils. V. very one
iniisi do his utmost tomorrow evening.

Russians Advancing Westward
Pacing Seven-League Strides
The heroic stand of the Imperial
Germant 6th Army trapped
before
the city of Stalingrad was the greatest display of human courage in all
history.
German General Staff Communique
In fact the magnitude of such
courage has so overwhelmed the
leaders of German government that
tliey have decreed that all movies
and public buildings in the Reich
will be closed this week-end. T h e
Nazis are attempting to turn a d i s astrous defeat into a symbil of the
fighting tenacity of the G e r m a n
Army. All their attempts to dress
up the news of the s u r r e n d e r of the
G e r m a n s at Stalingrad cannot d i s pel the cloud of doubt in the mincjs
of many G e r m a n s as to the wisdom
of their F u e h r e r ' s j u d g m e n t in not
allowing the 6th. Army to retreat
while they still had the opportunity.
The blame for this debacle rests
with Adolf Hitler, but he has not
as yet come forth with any s t a t e ment concerning it.
The Russian Army is advancing
westward at such a rate as to indicate that the G e r m a n s are withdrawing all along the line to new
defense positions. The Russians are
moving as fast as an army could
travel unopposed, and hourly Red
units are drawing nearer the main
Nazi defenses at Kharkov and Rostov.
Unconfirmed
reports put Red
Army artillery less than 30 miles
from Rostov, in position to hurl
shells into the German occupied
city. The capture of Rostov would
leave the 100,000 Germans in the
Caucasus only one avenue of escape
— through
the Kerch
Peninsula.
There appears slight chance that
the G e r m a n Army there can fight
its way through the narrow strip
that leads to Rostov, and to cross
the Kerch Straits to the Crimea is
considered so dangerous as to be
attempted only as a last resort.
Black Sea warships are said to be
working with the Red Army Air
Force in battering German t r a n s ports there, and it is possible that
the desperate flight has already
begun.
The Russians w e r e unable to r e gain K h a r k o v in their big attack of
last Spring, and even in the present
G e r m a n disorganization may find it
a hard nut to crack. It was strongly
fortified in depth a year ago, and
doubtless has been further s t r e n g t h ened since. Should it fall to the
Russian troops which are reported
within sixty miles of the city, the
entire G e r m a n lines east of the
Dneiper may crumble.
Guadalcanal
The Japanese attempted a largescale invasion of Guadacanal in an
effort to recapture the island from
the A r m y which relieved the M a rine forces there a week ago. The
U. S. Navy intercepted a large J a p
naval force, and Navy a n n o u n c e ments, although highly secretative
on details, leave no doubt that
strong U. S. and Japanese fleets
have met—at least in Ihe opening
phases of another Pacific sea bailie.
T h e Navy announced that both
sides had suffered casualties, but
that J a p a n e s e accounts of American
losses were greatly exaggerated.
North Africa
Nobody seemed to know exactly
where the Afrika Korps is, or where
its r e a r g u a r d leaves off and the v a n g u a r d of Montgomery's pursuing
British A r m y begins. The Brazzaville radio, not always reliable, said
that some units of Montgomery's
a r m y has reached the Mareth line.
80 miles inside the Tunisian border
from Libya.
American forces trying to drive
through to the coast north of R o m mel, won a battle and lost a battle.
The victory was scored in the town
of Scned. 53 miles west of the coast
road, which must be cut before Axis
forces really are split. The A m e r i can defeat occurred 40 miles to the
northeast, where our troops tried
unsuccessfully
for two days to
storm Faid Pass, wrested by the
Axis from the French last week.
Latest communiques said the A m e r icans finally "broke oil" the e n gagement.

Elementary Dramatics class sponsored its annual presentation of
three one-act plays under the direction of Miss Agnes Futterer. The
plays in the order of their appearance were: Ore/tids for
Margaret
whose cast was Elaine Drooz, Ray
Howard, Dante Zaccagnini, Lucille
Kenny and Roslyn Slote, A Happy
Journey
Lo Trenton
and
Camden
starring J. Michael Hippiek, Barbara
Putnam,
Frank
Belville,
Edna
Marsh, A r t h u r Collins and Ruth
Fine, and A Question of Principle
whose cast consisted of Curtis PfalT,
Bert Kiley, Paul Barselou, Jack
Vo.se,
Harold
Goldstein,
Stuart
Beyer!, and G e r t r u d e YanowitZ,
To many minds the plays ranged
in just that order from worst to
best. Orc/iids for Margaret limped
along quite forlornly until Jackie
in the person of Roz Slote breezed
onto the stage and handed the play
an imaginary crutch. Margaret was
a difficult role to play, but the
wordy, stagnant dialogue and a lagging supporting cast proved ton
much for even Lucille Kenny to
overcome.
Ii could have been a
good performance the .set was gay,
ihe costumes were good, but it
died'
A Happy Journey to Trenton
Camden
was a much better
formance, Acting wilh no sel
practically no props is a difficult
untl
perand
job
because of the pantomime involved.
T h e timing was perfect and the
cast did nobly in this respect. The
tempo was constant throughout the
performance. The ending did bog
a little, but the quality of the
presentation up to that point c o m pletely overshadowed the ending.
Little Frank Belville deserves s p e cial mention because of his excellent
portrayal of a nine-year-old.
A Question of Principle was u n doubtedly the best play of the e v e ning.
Each character, from the
blustering judge to the ineffectual
clergyman, was so completely a type,
and the man and his girl were so
definitely naive and simple, that the
play which might easily have been
a Hop was turned into a howling
success. Every player in A Question of Principle
should be congratulated not only fin' his individual performance, but also for
ihe excellent teamwork he displayed (Teamwork is a quality thai
is seldom witnessed on the Slate
College stage )
The entertainment between plays
was good as always and deserves
honorable mention for just thai reason.
The lighting for all three plays
was very good and Miss Hopkins
is lo be congratulated for Ihe q u a l ity of the sels.
It was a good evening's entertainment.

Changes in Chemistry
Provide More Working
By the beginning of next week,
all improvisations in the Chemistry
laboratories shall have been fully
completed.
The most noticeable change is in
the new tables which provide twice
as much working space as before.
These tables are longer and wider
and contain d r a w e r s that can a d e quately accommodate the supplies
that each student must use. This
will eliminate the time previously
wasted by students in taking ins t r u m e n t s to and from the slock
room, and is also expected to cut
down IHI breakage.
Hoi water and electricity as well
as gas and cold water have been
installed.
In the advanced lab.
steam facilities have been provided
lor work in organic courses. Compressed air is now available without
the danger of sparks or gas escaping.
In addition to these improvements,
the advanced lab also has access to
both AC and DC current.
Because there never was an adequate method for disposing of gases,
Huesled has always had the reputation for emitting peculiar odors.
These strange objectionable smells
Laboratories
Room
are now reduced to a minimum with
ihe installation of fume hoods which
carry all odors out to Ihe roof. Al
the end of each fume hood is a r e mote control attachment for gas and
water.
Ten large fluorescent lights (the
lasl on Ihe m a r k e t ) now lake ihe
place of the four small lights that
previously illuminated each laboratory.
New hardwood floors replace the
old cracked boards of many years.
These labs were designed lo u t i l ize to Ihe greatest extent the courses
offered. Facilities have been insligaled to effect a better system of
efficiency among the students and to
m a k e the chemistry courses more
desirable.
Dr. Oscar E. Lanford, Professor
of Chemistry, says' "I'm very certain
that there is no lab of Ihis type,
a n y w h e r e in the state, which is
belter."
Music Council and Dramatics and
Arts Council are each planning b a n ner events for the near future.
Mady Christians will come here as
the guest of D & A on March 4.
Music Council will present the Don
Cossack Chorus on February 27.
Both events will take place in Page
Hall.
The Don Cossack Chorus will be
making ils second appearance h e r e
in its thirteen years of touring in
Ihe United Slates. Their last concert at Ihe College was in October,
1938.
Reporting on Ihe event, a
NEWS critic called il "comparable to
nothing in the history of the college".
Mady Christians, who will be the
star of ihe D& A presentation, is the
celebrated European and American
actress who has recently been a p pearing on Broadway in Watch on
the Rhine. Miss Christians was born
in Vienna and lias spent a great
pari of her life in Europe.
However, she spent her childhood in
America as her father took over the
management of a theater here. Miss
Christians studied for a lime under
Max Reinhard! in Berlin. Besides
appearing on the legitimate stage
she has had a successful movie
career in Europe playing opposite
Maurice Evans, Charles Boyer and
Conrad Veidt.
For the Don Cossack concert, s t u dents will be able to exchange their
student lax for tickets. The procedure for the lecture is as yet u n decided.

The effective use of the zone d e fense
by State's basketball opponents apparently has shown Coach
Harry Grogan that a zone can be
an effective defense on the Page
Hall court. After watching Brooklyn Poly, Middleburg,
and RPI
topple the Purple and Gold, the
Eagles' mentor switched his team's
defense from a man to man to a
2-1-2 zone.
The adjustment that the basketball squad had lo make under a
different tutelage was evident in the
Brooklyn Poly contest, their first
under Coach Grogan.
The Eagles
appeared
helpless.
They
didn't
know what to do with the ball and
rarely
followed
up their
shots.
However,
the team
found
itself
against Middlebury only to lose a
lieartbreaker in the best
played
contest in Page this year.
Pratt Tomorrow
In the Pratt contest tomorrow
night, the Statesmen face a formidable team. The Engineers have been
piling up high scores and recently
defeated both RPI and Brooklyn
Poly. If Fiat I uses a man to man
defense it may be a point in favor
of
the Eagles, who have
been
finding the zone hard to penetrate.
We are looking for a hard fought
contest.
However we feel that the
varsity is due and should win its
first victory mi the home court.
The Eagles will enter tomorrow
night's contest without the services
of scrapper Bill Marsland. "Bolo"
is the first member of this year's
varsity squad to leave. He is going
to a meteorology school.
However,
six others, Braun, Capel, A. Flax,
Lynch, Reed, and Ruback. are in
the ERC and their status is very u n certain.
If and when the ERC are
called the varsity ranks will be depleted.
Poller Team lo Beat
In the intramural basketball loop,
league leading Putter Club appears
in be heading for its second intramural title this year. They copped
llu- football title last fall. Although
the calibre of this year's teams is
below the usual, Potter is represented by a smooth working, high
scoring quintet and are undefeated
tn dale.
The Ramblers, who have lust but
une game, that to EEP, are their
closest rivals, and may tie Potter

However, we believe that
Putter
will complete its schedule undefeated.

In Pao,z Hall Gym Tomorrow
Eagles Bow to Union,
Zone Is Ineffective
As Foe Scores, 6 0 - 2 5
The resumption of normal school
activities brings back to the spotlight Stale's remaining basketball
schedule, and to Page Hall tomorrow at 7:30 the Cannoniers from
Pratt.
The only possible comparison between Pratt and State as far as this
year's play is concerned is that that
they nosed out the same BPI team
that defeated us 42-154. They have
a more impressive record than State
so far this season, but some team
must get the benefit of the storedup revenge which is boiling over in
the Eagles.
Pratt Strong
Pratt has a starting aggregation of
sharpshooters, each of whom is capable of winning scoring honors in
any
game.
Raphael,
Kaplovvitz,
Hollwedel, MacPhee, and Cavataio
have all averaged eight points or
better so far this season. They use
the "man lo man" and "zone" d e fenses with equal success, and have
the ability to pop, fast break, or
"work it in" as the occasion d e mands.
The game previously scheduled
fur Friday night was changed in
order that Siena might schedule
them for their open date tonight.
Pratt's performance tonight against
Siena will do much in revealing
their strength for many of Stale's
varsity will have the opportunity to
watch them before they play them.
Lose in Schenectady
Once mure the Eagles from State
have received the disappointing end
of a 60-25 score as they succumbed
to the power of Union. Il seems that
the old adage, "In Union there is
strength." was really borne out.
The Statesmen attempted to set
up a zone defense against the Union
attack, but was forced to shift to
man to man due to its inefficiency,
Even the man to man could not
stop the Union team as they scored
from all over the court.
Union,
however, presented an impregnable
zone which held the Slate five
helpless throughout the forty miuules of play.
Hansen and Combs shared scoring honors for Slate with six points
apiece, but their efforts were greatly eclipsed by Bartlett and Clowe of
Union who tallied 15 and 12 points
respectively. "Bolo" Marsland garnered three points in his last game
in the Uniterm of Stale's Eagles.

Eagles Garner
Only One W i n ;
Defeated In Six
By Stan Gipp
With the schedule over half completed, it is evident that variations
in players, coaches, and systems has
had much to do with State's u n favorable recurd. Though the players have been lighting and learning
all year they have been bewildered
by the changes and have shown
only spasms of superiority.
In seven games played so far the
Eagles can boast of only one victory, that over RPI at t r o y . Our
opponents have registered 334 points
compared to nur 247 for only three
of the games were close enough tn
say that the outcome was doubtful.
After defeats in their first two
games by Clarkson and S. Lawrence, the Eagles overhauled an
early RPI lead lo win 33-32. Clarkson then continued where it left
off at Potsdam, winning a handy
63-39 victory.
BPI furnished the first opposition
after the switch in coaches, and
faced a new offense which clicked
for only a few minutes. From then,
mi the Eagles played in a bewildered lethargy as BPI controlled
both the backboards and the baskets. It was a game which should
have been Slate's had they played
the brand uf ball of which they are
capable.
When Stale met Middlebury they
were believed In be an even money

The 39-36 defeat bore mil

JV 1 Hit Stride;
Beat Pharmacy
For Fourth Win
State College's Junior
Varsity
basketball team came through with
its fourth win in the last five games
last Tuesday night by taking the
measure of the Albany College of
Pharmacy, 45-36, displayinng the
same balanced style of play which
has lately been carrying them to
victory.
The Purple and Gold took an
early lead, then lost it, and finally
pulled ahead of a desperately fighting Pharmacy five. Bortnick tallied
19 counters for the Eaglets, while
Sweeney poured 13 through the
hoop for the losers.
The Jayvees have also played
four other contests since the last
issue of the NEWS, winning three
of these. On Saturday, January 9,
they took the measure of Siena's
junior varsity, a previously u n beaten team. It was a hard fought
game, the teams being separated by
only ,i few points all during the
game.
The third quarter was the deciding period, for Slate outscored its
rivals 14-9 to lead by six points,
35-29.
The final score was 45-41 in
favor of the Purple and Gold. Bortnick and Riecardo were high nen
for State with 13 points apiece, while
Hippick
contributed
10 counts.
Knaugh sank 16 for the losers.
The following Wednesday, J a n u ary 13, the Eaglets, remembering a
76-75 defeat in their first game of
the season, gained revenge by d e feating ABC 49-22 in a return game
played in Page Hall. In this game
the team's potential offensive ability
exploded in such a manner that the
outcome of the game was never in
doubt. Bortnick, high man with 23
points, alone outscored the whole
ABC team.
Streeter with 14 was
best for the visitors.
Playing the RPI Frosh just two
days later, the Purple and Gold
again won the preliminary.
This
lime also they atoned for a past
defeat, having succumbed to the
Engineers in a previous game. AlIhuugh State won by ten points, 4535, the game was in reality closer
than the score indicates.
On the following night the Eaglets played yet another game, losing
tn a superior Voorheesville Army
Depot team, 44-35. The Purple and
Gold were outclassed by older and
mure experienced men. The Depot
also had the advantage of height,
preventing the Statesmen from getting many rebounds. Bortnick and
Hippick were high men for the
Jayvees with 12 and 11 points r e spectively.
Walt Yund and Alberts
with 17 i.nd 15 points respectively
starred for the Depot.

Students Wishing Teaching Jobs
Urged to File Data With SEB
Bulger, SEB Director, Writes
On 'Why Remainjin Teaching'
This is the first in a series of articles written by prominent figures
at State College on "Why Remain in
Teaching?" This article was written
by Mr. Paul G. Bulger, Director of
the Student Employment
Bureau
and Assistant Principal of the Milne
School, Subsequent articles will be
contributed by Dr. John M. Sayles,
President of the College, Dr. Milton
G. Nelson, Dean, and Dr. Robert W.
Frederick, Principal of the Milne
School.
There are one million teachers in
the United States at present. Of
this number, there are about 84,000
in New York State. New York City,
Buffalo, and other large cities employ about 45,000, leaving 39,000 in
smaller cities and rural communities
of the state. There is a shortage of
teachers at present. Different estimators have reported this shortage
to be from 50,000 to 75,000 in the
country. New York State has its
proportion of this shortage, although
the shortage in the slate is not as
critical as in other states because of
the better salaries thai it pays to its
teachers.
At State College we train people
to teach in New York State schools.
Our graduates are placed in some of
the best schools in the state.
Salaries, in this state, for teachers
are on the upgrade. This year many
teachers are beginning at salaries of
$1400 to $1500. The maximum salary in some school systems for
teachers with a master's degree is
about $2400. I believe that these
increases will continue. In addition
many schools are giving bonuses
and increments this year to meet the
increased cost of living. What other
profession offers $1400 to a beginner? Lawyers until recently received a weekly salary of $6 to $8
when they were starting practicing.
All doctors don't drive Packards.
However, you must realize that although salaries are being raised at
present, there will soon be a stabilization period.
During the last depression, teaching was the only going business.
Even skilled mechanical laborers
entered the teaching profession and
secured certification.
I also believe that teaching is a
public service. Most of us want to
perform some public service and the
answer to this search can be found
in the teaching profession. In addition, we have often heard that youth
is the hope of the future. Teaching
affords that opportunity to deal with
youth.
The social standing of teachers is
good. It's a clean job—a job where
you are constantly growing intellectually.
In a recent survey of over 2000
graduates of State College, it was
found by the Student Employment
Bureau that many graduates are in
the service. About 98''„ of these
servicemen
indicated that they
wanted their folders to be carried
on in the SEB files since they
wanted to return to teaching after
the war is over. This point alone
signifies to me that there is something in teaching that gets hold of
a man and keeps him in the field
with teaching as a life position.
We'll always have schools and
children. The people of the State
of New York alone spend 365 million per year on education. New
York State offers some fine schools,
comparatively high salaries and
worthwhile security to those who
remain in teaching.
What other profession oilers tenure of office to those who enter it?
Dr. Samuel S. Dorrance
State Graduate
Killed in Crash
When the Army transport plane
crashed in Dutch Guiana two weeks
ago, one of the 34 persons killed
was Dr. Samuel S. Dorrance, an
authority on aviation medicine and
a member of the Class of 1932.
After his graduation from State
College, Dr. Dorrance attended Albany Medical College and ranked
first in the United Slates in the
National Board Examinations which
are given annually to Senior medical students. He then served a two
and a half year internship at Mt.
Sinai Hospital in New York City
and won a fellowship in medicine to
Johns Hopkins Hospital.
At State Dr. Dorrance was a
member of Myskania, Edward Eldred Poller Club, and voted the
most popular Senior; as well as
being Editor of the Eclw and a
member of the Niows Board.
Mr. Paul G. Bulger, Director of
Student Employment Bureau, requests all Seniors who wish jobs for
next year to hand in their folders
and pictures immediately. In order
to facilitate interviews, they should
also hand in schedule cards so that
they can be contacted at any time.
Openings for jobs to be filled immediately and in September are
coming in rapidly. To date most of
the openings are in the Commerce
field. There are 15 jobs open for
Commerce students and only 18
students actually registered in the
Commerce department. Other positions to be filled are as follows: Science, 12; Mathematics, 5; Library, 2;
English, 3; English-Library. 5; English-Social Studies, 2; Social Studies,
7; Social Studies-English, 3; FrenchLatin, 2; French-Spanish, 1; LatinSpanish, 3.
Mr. Bulger stresses the problem
which the graduating student faces.
On one hand there is a definite need
for teachers in the schools. However those who apply for a temporary license must remember that
they will be at a disadvantage when
State College
the war is over and they are forced
to compete with teachers who have
received their masters degree. Mr.
Bulger feels that it is a personal
problem and he will be glad to talk
to any Senior confronted by these
alternatives.

also placed the following people:

In this morning's assembly, War
Activities Council will introduce
two resolutions concerning the dispensation of the receipts of last
Saturday's "State Fair". These r e ceipts totalled $155, five dollars
more than the goal set by WAC.
The resolutions to be proposed are:
(1) That the above receipts be
turned over to the Student Association, on the condition that they be
used solely for war relief. (2) That
the Student Association recognize
and consider WAC's budget for the
coming year, which totals roughly
$54.
Following is the budget:
The future of State's enlisted men
took on a new turn this week with
the receipt of orders by Enlisted
Air Corps men and also the possibility of ERC men majoring in
science or math remaining for the
whole semester.
The Enlisted Reserve Air Corps
members received notice for active
duty sometime before March 1,
These orders came through Tuesday,
Although the army continued their
usual vagueness with these orders,
the members in this reserve can
be expected to leave anytime within
the coming three weeks.
Another phase of the situation
was presented Wednesday when Dr.
Milton G. Nelson, Dean of the College, met with the 16 math-science
majors, According to one of the
many communiques received by the
Dean, those students in the ERC
who are pursuing approved technical engineering courses may complete any semester which they began since January 1.
Although this is not certain, the
wording of the report is such that
these few students may fall into this
category. And a taboo is put on
the idea of changing a major since
the record in possession of the army
has the major of a student as of the
beginning of the semester in September. It applies alike to Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors.
"Meteorogical acceptees most likely will not be called to active duty
before beginning their course," said
the Dean at the meeting. However,
if they should be called, they will
indulge in basic training until the
course opens.
The remaining ERC students are
living in hourly expectation of receiving their orders. These may
come with 24-hour notice or 10 days.
State College has also been put
on the approval list for training of
aviation cadets. 281 training institutions of the country were
named. However, this does not
mean that cadets will enter the college. Only a relatively small number of those named will be used for
such purposes, and the odds are that
State will not be one of (hem.
