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.
Student Employment Bureau has
also placed the following people:
Lloyd Clum, Tuxedo Park, Science; '
Elizabeth Chamberlain, Thiells, Library; Harold Ferguson, Chester,
principal; Helen Gregory, Ludlowville, Social Studies; Betty Gordon,

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.

SCT Comes Through
Great was the speculation as to the outcome
of the WAC-imotivated State Fair. Great were
the apprehensions and the difficulties. But the
results proved that the worry had been in vain.
Once more the student body of Slate College
turned out lull force to make yet another project
a complete social and financial success. Faculty
member and student alike pulled together for
an evening of fun and painless contribution to
i he war elfort.
The /pessimists who gloomily predicted the
failure of the project were sadly off the beam.
Slate has spirit and lots of it! Congratulations
are in order to the students for their cooperation
and willingness. The achievement unquestionably warrants an annual repetition of the event.
In the opinion of many, the affair was second in
importance to nothing but Moving-Up Day.
And lhe triumph was in no small measure due
to War Activities Council. More power to it!
O d e to the Junior Class
In many ways, at many times, the praise has
sounded loud
For the mighty feats of '44, a most unusual
crowd!
Wc think the applause is well deserved
At this or any time,
To you we'll raise our hearts and cheers
In prose, in song, in wine.
The past lias been brilliant, the present the
same,
May the unattained future keep stainless our
name.
State will long remember the record we leave
Our match in spirit and intellect will be very
hard to find.
To those who've gone, to those who will leave.
To those who will remain,
To each and every '44—
Good luck—we'll meet again!

of such memories as the time Combs and Forrest

turned it up, the Class of 1944 will bamjuei this
evening at Herbert's.
This banquet will be the first get-together
that the present Junior Class has ever sponsored; it will also' be the last get-together for
some of the men with their classmates lor a
long time.
The Class of '44 has never lacked spirit] it has
possessed it in abundance, Let's make the banquet a roaring suet ess, a pleasant memory for

We Can'f Take It With Us

and histories. On t h e contrary, w e
are simply recognizing that this is
a w a r year, that, therefore, things
are different, a n d t h a t to many of
us the events of the past few weeks
will be the last of o u r college days.
So h e r e and now, we, the Class of
1944, wish to m a k e and declare
this to be our semi-final will and
testament in form a n d manners us
follows:
To t h e Seniors—our thanks for
many
pleasant memories,
many
good friends. O u r best wishes for
good fortune no m a t t e r what the
future holds.
To the Sophomores we wish to
leave the example we have set for
them in sportsmanship, spirit, and
wit. W e think that '45 h a s possibilities; we hope that they will
develop them.
To the frosh—well, they're still
sort of an unknown quuntity, but
they've showed fight, they've got
brawn, so we leave them our brains.
After all, with '44 us a sister class,
'46' can't go wrong. (Or can It?)
To the Sophomore Desk Editors,
the Junioi Associate Editors leave
their efficiency, their initiative, their
ingenuity. May they keep high the
torch we throw to them. To the
freshman Aspirants, well, we b e queath the "ashes and sparks" that
fall in t h e course of o u r meteoric
careers.
They m a y only become
little comets, b u t we can't all be
planets.
To future dramatic artists, the
greasepaint crew of '44 leaves its
record of Page Hall triumphs. May
they equal, if possible, the achieve-
ments of Hal Ashworth, Paul B a r selou, Trece Aney, Mary S t u d e bakcr, Lois Hampel, Shirley Mills,
Eunice Baird, Ruth Schmitt, Vera
Willard, Marge Breunig, Catherine
Smith, J e a n n e Bailey, J i m M o Feeley, and the rest of the Junior
dramatic wizards.
In the athletic department, we
leave to u p and coming muscle men
and women the prowess of Mary
Domann, Kit Herdman, J a n e Pickert, Dot Townsend, Rita Daly, J u n e
Clark, Dottie Simmons, Bob Combs,
Bill Marsland, Rich Young, Hunk
Ruback, Red Evans, FYank Hanson,
and Charlie Capel.
To neophyte musicians we b e queath the artistry of Earle Snow,
Nancy Wilcox, Helen Elgin, J a n e
Southwick, Carm Losurdo, Verne
MarshaII a n d Gerry Merhoff,
To embryonic wits and intellectuals, we leave the humor and brains
of Rhona Ryun, Bert Kiley, Ray
Verrey, Betty Gravelle, Ruth Y u t z ler, G r a h a m Duncan, Helen B r u c ker and Fred Beyer. For a m b i tious paint-daubers, we set forth
the palettes used by Honey Schoen
and
Sally
Richards. To future
glamor-girls, the beauty of Georgia
Hardesty, P a t Latimer, Millie Wiroslolf,
Ginny
Musohak,
Lucille
Crants, Carolyn Lively, and Shirley
Reed.
The executive ability and leadership of young, Shoemaker, Ashworth, and Latimer we bequeath
to present a n d future presidents
and organization heads.
Having exhausted our resources
and patience, we, the class of 1044,
affix our signatures to this document a n d call it quits.

Soyles Stresses Teachers Role
During Posf-War Reconstruction

t h a t the teaching process is i m p o r tant.
(When Dr. Sayles was asked why
he had remained

instead of p u r s u i n g a

rather difficult question for him to

"Most of us chose m o r e or less
unconsciously. I believe t h a t there
is a n innate search for b e a u t y in all
of us. W e strive to express b e a u t y

With
this

choosing we have to h a v e the a b i l ity to decide on a plan which m a y
be modified from time to time, a n d
also the ability to a d h e r e to o u r
plans although others m a y criticize.
"Our choice is t h e result of this
innate search for beauty. T h e e d u cational process is slow. Y o u can't
become discouraged or you'll lose
the process. To express this beauty
is often a process of planting a n d
the repetition of varied approach
not only to achieve satisfaction for
ourselves b u t also to educate others
to appreciate what we h a v e sought
and obtained.
"It is part of our program as
teachers to direct this daily choice
and to cultivate more desirable a n d
a higher sense of beauty."
This is the second in a series of
articles which will appear in the
N E W S on "Why Remain in Teachi n g ? " They are written by eminent
members of the faculty. This article
is by Dr. John M. Sayles,
President
of the College.
"The educational process is a p r o gram by which ideas a r e spread,
by which plans a r e formulated,
through which directions a r e given,
and by which institutions a r e o r ganized and planned results o b tained.
"There are two things i m m e d i ately ahead of us, both of which
have to do with winning. First, w e
have to win the war. Second, w e
have to win the peace. After that

"The
educational
process by
which society will be reconstructed
has many approaches. It will be
done through the pulpit, public
platform, daily press, m o v i n g - p i c lure, and through the very formal
process of the daily classroom. T h a t
gives lo teaching a very formal

By ClarmceOarr
Sports to General
t h e recent receipt of those long,
official tan envelopes by the m e m berk of the Army Air Corps reserve
is one of the most staggering blows
that State* College sports has r e ceived this year. Added to the certain calling of the E R C s in the near
future, ft seems to us to sound the
death knell of varsity sports. The
results on the intramural setup are
/unpredictable.
In other words, i t seems to be a
pretty safe bet that sports at State
for he duration will consist of g y m
classes,- women's, and possibly some
intramural action by the 4->Fs, 2 ••'&% tind1
freshtaen'•<
- ? -We do hot include this year in
this sweeping prediction, for there
is nothing yet which will prevent
!
the completion of this year's schedule.
(For such small crutnbs as
this w e must be duly appreciative.
C'est la guerre!)
Sports in Particular
Bowling—last year's addition to
the intramural program—is again
due to get going. At the last c o u n cil meeting, the representatives all
promised a team. Rice's alleys are
being dickered for. In about three
days the league should be ready to
roll. Let's support this league as
well as we do the others and as
well as was done last year.
Basketball—Varsity
The general concensus of opinion
is that the boys were missing s o m e thing besides the basket last Saturday night. Specifically, the old zip,
drive, heart, whatever you want to
call it, was lacking. For the first
time this year, the team didn't seem
to fight.
And we say, "Don't blame only
the varsity." We have never seen
more lethargic stands than those at
a State basketball game. It really
helps a team a lot to know that
spectators are rooting or them. How
about forgetting our professional
attitudes and dignities for a while
and letting out a good old-fashioned
yell?
Add a Bit of Humor
We really climaxed a none too
successful basketball career last
Thursday when we did our best to
score a basket for the opposition.
We thank our lucky stars that, as
usual, the shot rolled around the
rim and dropped outside.
Council Organizing
l - M Bowling League
Intramural council has announced
its intention to begin the bowling
league as soon as possible. Although
confronted with the growing problem of lack of men athletes, all the
present intramural teams expect to
have entries in the competition.
Clancy Oarr, who has been a p pointed head of the bowling league,
expects the first matches to be
played next week. He added a dour
note, however, by saying, "Of course
the calling of the ERC and the
Aviation Cadets renders impossible
any predictions as to how the season
will eventually culminate."
The teams expected to enter are
Potter Club, last year's trophy w i n ners, KDR, KB, SLS, the Ramblers,
the Finks, and the Dorm.
Art Flax was placed in charge of
organizing an elimination ping-pong
tournament.
Ben Reed is a new m e m b e r of i n tramural council. He has taken
Ernie Mennillo's place as representative of the Finks, and has also
taken Menillo's place as council
treasurer.

Niagara Tonight
In Page Hall Gym
B y Stan Gipp
Tonight the Eagles will face the
most formidable foe they have yet
encountered, for Niagara U n i v e r sity, beaten only three times this
year in competition with the best
teams of the nation, is slated to a p pear on the Page Hall court. If some
miracle happened, even greater than
that one three years ago, by virtue
of which State won a one point v i c tory, it would be the major basketball upset of the year.
Next Wednesday St. Michaed's
will pay its annual visit to Albany
to play the Eagles, who defeated
them handily last year. St. Michael's has had little success this year
so far, having a record similar to
our own.
There is a great deal of doubt
concerning the presence of some of
the varsity players at this but s e v eral of the JV's will be able to take
their places, perhaps more ably than
they.
Last week the Statesmen played
one of the most pathetic contests
ever witnessed on the Page Hall
court, losing 61-35. The blame for
this failure can hardly be placed e n tirely with the players, for when
what is known as the "varsity"
players had a chance to perform—
the first, third, and fourth quarters
—Pratt was pressed to the limit.
The height, impregnable zone,
and ability to score at will against
State's feeble reserves produced a
run-away before the half. A pep
talk, the return of the first string
players to the lineup, and desperation, however produced a much
closer second half and prevented
the complete loss of prestige.
Raphael and Kaplowitz, a Pratt
substitute, took scoring honors for
the night.
Hansen, Combs, and
Mullin netted the lion's share of
State's points, which was only a
mouse's share of the games.
Psi Gamma Wins In Bowling
The WAA bowling tourney which
got off to such a good start last
February 2 is still rolling along
smoothly.
Last Thursday, two more league
games were played, only one of
which was completed. Psi Gamma
defeated Cooper House, in two out
of three games. The Kappa DeltaMoreland Hall game was not completed however, and this game will
be finished up by tonight.

Rsaiimlno their

Wednesday, the Junior Varsity basketball team lost to the Siena College J. V. team, 29-18, for. their
fifth loss of the season.
The Eaglets, fighting for their
fifth win of the campaign, managed
to keep close enough during the
initial half, trailing by only two
points at the intermission, but, tired
by a. large unfamiliar court, failed
to match the opposition's counters
during the final period.
Hippick
and Riccardo were high for State
with five points each.
In a previous meeting this year,
the Purple and Gold handed Siena
its lone loss of the year.
The jayvees resume activity t o night with a return match with
Pharmacy College.
Finks, KB, Potter
Win One Each
During the past week three games
were played in the Intramural league and interest in the outcome is
growing as the half-way mark a p proaches. The various squads are
working together much better now
than earlier in the season and the
next few weeks may show many
changes in the standings.
In the first game played a week
ago yesterday K B scored a 16-10
win over SLS to take over third
place. The winners made the most
of Rabineau and Koblenz's height
to control the ball off the backboard,
while the losers missed the services
of Buck Hippick who is now with
the JV's. The game was featured
by a new low half-time score of 4-3
when a great number of shots were
missed by both, but the tempo b e came slightly faster in the final
quarters.
In the second game Potter Club
maintained its winning streak with
its fifth victory, but found a fighting KDR team constantly at its
heels. The winners enjoyed only
a slight 15-13 margin after two
quarters and were almost tied early
in the fourth stanza when quick
baskets by Evans and Gipp put them
out in front for a 31-24 victory.
The State Street quintet showed
again its power to wear down its
opponents and it looks as though
they wind up the first half of their
games without a loss. Gipp led the
scoring with 15 points, while Evans
and Baden garnered 9 apiece.
In an early game Monday evening
the Finks again hit the winning side
with a close 19-18 conquest over the
Dorm.

A s are the rest of the W A A tourneys, the basketball tournament is
in full swing. A great deal of i n terest is shown in the sport, for a
la ge number of girls come out for
the league games, held Wednesday
nights in the gym.
Last Wednesday night, three more
league games were played.
The
first was a afst exciting game b e tween Newman Hall and Beta Zeta.
With good guarding and Garall's 11
points leading them on to victory,
the Newman contingent emerged
victorious from the struggle with a
19-13 score.
The second game was a battle
between Cooper House and Delta
Beta Chi (formerly known as the
Dorm A team) Due to LaSalle's 11
points, and the six points each of
Domann and Herdman, Delta Beta
Chi triumphed to the tune of 23-18.
Much interest is shown in this team
which won the trophy in last year's
tournament, and is well on its way
to a repeat performance of this deed,
being tied for first place in the
league with Newman, both teams
having won their first two games.
The third and final game o the
evening was that between Wren
Hall and Moreland Hall. Much e x citement ensued in the final quarter,
because of a tie score of 12-12. In
an overtime period, Wren gained
the lead with a foul shot and e m erged triumphant over Moreland,
13-12.

Pat Latimer also has a cheerful
bit for the would-be senior life

fairly good cut of the twenty-cent

It appears that some of you pingpong players haven't noticed that a
tourney is on. Surely, more than a

The price is $1.50 per person,
which includes round-trip trainfare.
This is an increase of only $.25 over

weekend. T h e girls leave at about
5:30 P.M. on Friday and return
Monday afternoon,
Pat Frey is in charge of Camp
Johnston and promises that the
principal recreations will be loafing
and winter sports.
The major
change from other seasons is the
curtailment of the grocery boy's
gasoline, which provides the girls
with the added exercise of toting
their provisions out from the nearby
town.

Issues Appeal
For Volunteers
Student Help Needed
For Local Ration Boards
At its Wednesday meeting, War
Council discussed the need for more
participation in War Activities by
students of the college. Albany o r ganizations have issued an appeal
for help, and patriotic students are
asked lo volunteer.
T h e r e is an immediate need for
guides in next week's rationing c e n ters.
The Interceptor C o m m a n d
and the Information Center both
need helpers; the Red Cross wants
typists to prepare for next month's
drive, nursery schools need assistants, bandages are being rolled
daily in the Courthouse from 2-4
P. M., and 7-9 P. M.
Schedule Complications
Schedule complications often make
it difficult for students to do as
much war work as they would like.
A wide variety of war work is offered so that students should be able
to find one convenient time for
work.
This applies especially to
commuters who find it hard to a t tend evening meetings.
All volunteers for war work will
please see Miss Stokes, Dean of the
College, in her Room 210 office, I m mediate help is vitally needed.
War Council also plans to start
scrap drives for stockings, rags, fats,
and other materials in the near future.
Sludenl Council has appointed a
committee to investigate means of
distributing the money, totalling
$100 profit, received from the State
Fair.
The committee consists of
Patricia Latimer, Hannelore Schoen
and Fred Shoemaker, juniors, and
Rolf Toepfer, Mil.
This committee was appointed hy
Student Council as a result of a
mi.lion in last Friday's assembly to
that effect. Since the student body
could not agree last Friday as to
how the money should be disposed
ol, this committee was appointed for
the purpose of investigating various
relief funds to which the money
could be donated.
In regard to helping in the r a l inning program next week, any one
who is interested should contact
Miss Stokes as quickly as possible.
Since both Albany High School and
the Milne School are centers for the
rationing program, students will not
have to go too far out of their way
in order to help in the war effort.
