ON THE
BALL
.By Stan
Gipp.
The destiny of State's athletic
participation in intercollegiate circles appears doomed for the d u r a tion at least. T h e unforunate fate
of the baseball, tennis and golf
schedules seems certain to be followed by basketball next year,
leaving only the intramural p r o gram to challenge the physical i n terests of State's males. Despite the
disappearance of sporting events,
measures should be taken now to
retain the sporting spirit, and plans
should be made now for the revival
of all these sports on a larger scale
than ever before.
New York State's teachers colleges have long been first scholastically, but have just as long taken
a back seat to other schools in
physical prowess. This, to some of
us men, is just as important as
mental or aesthetic talents. If State
ever expects to get men in this
institution, it will be necessary to
offer an athletic program to attract
and interest them.
Naturally we all expect to see the
revival of baseball, basketball, t e n nis and golf with the scheduling of
games with teams of equal strength.
However, we would like to go a
step farther and suggest the introduction of intercollegiate football.
This can probably never be r e a l ized, however, without the c o operation of the students, the
administration, the state, and the
other six New York State Teacher
Colleges. A tentative plan would
be to organize a s i x - m a n football
league composed of these colleges;
then, due to the attraction of men
to ours and these other institutions
by this program, the strength and
size of these squads would be i n creased, and e l e v e n - m a n football
would be possible and practical.
This program is admittedly distant and weak at present, but we
hope it presents something to think
about and something to work for
to those freshmen, Sophomores, and
upper-classmen who intend to complete their work towards a degree
here at State.
In harmony with the expression
in this column this is the final trip of
our basketball team to Brooklyn
today. In the past it has been the
custum to send telegrams to the
boys when they were playing away.
They can be reached at Hotel P l y mouth, 143 West 49th St., New
York, N. Y.
Girls of '45 W i n |
Rivalry Cage Struggle
Fast moving, hard fighting—yet
clean playing marked the first
girls' rivalry basketball game. After
a thrilling struggle which carried
over into an extra period, the
sophs defeated the frosh 36-32,
During the first quarter, the
sophs held their opponents 8-2. u n til, with a sudden spurt of energy,
'•11) broke loose and scored three
tunes. The first quarter ended in
an 8-8 tie. Heartened by this gain,
'Hi went ahead, sinking ten more
points to the "Crimson Tide's" live,
bringing the tally to 18-13 at the
half. Both teams scored four times
in the third period
At tin- opening of the dual quarter, the score
stood 20-21. With a last minute
drive '45 surged forward, holding
the freshmen to four points, and
putting in nine •.! their own to end
in a 30-30 lie. A live-minute overtime was decided upon. The "Crimson Tide" was successful, tossing in
three goals to one lor the freshmen
The final tally was 30-32, wiih victory for tin' sophs.
The two teams were, of course
the best that could he mustered
hi.in each (-lass, but Gaifall. foi
'45 with 22 points, and Hcrljhy, foi
the frosh, with 18 sparked then
respective teams.

Grogan, Bulger
Presents Awards
The cancellation of the MAA
Banquet instigated a new procedure
in the awarding of letters and e m blems to the Varsity, J V and intram u r a l sportsmen. T h e awards were
given out to the outstanding men
in college athletics last Friday in
t h e s t u d e n t assembly.
Mr. Paul Bulger stressed the
fact that ever since the foundation
of the MAA association by the s t u dents in 1935, it has seen fit to
honor those men who aided in c a r rying on the State sport spirit both
in school and outside.
He first
a w a r d e d the key for outstanding
ability in intramural activities to
Malcolm "Red" Evans, and then,
the sportsmanship key to Sol. Stolbof.
William Marsland,
former,
and A r t h u r Flax, present president
of Intramural Council, were also
honored lor their successful leadership.
Coach Grogan then took over to
award the letters to the basketball
teams which he had handled since
Coach Hatfield left.
To State's
newly formed Jayvees went .sixinch block S's. The members of the
Varsity received eight-inch letters.
J a y v e e letters went to the following men: Capt. Howard Lynch, senior, Charles Capel and Malcolm

Glosses
By Hylind
At last, we h a v e our long awaited
chance. Now, we, the Sophomore
sports writers, can air o u r views
of t h e feminine sports world.
F r a n k l y , w e think that in the
field of sports, the girls of the Class
of '45 are tops. We know our r e a d ers (if any) will immediately say
we're prejudiced, b u t stop a minute
and look at the record:
From the very beginning, at
Frosh camp, the Soph gals have
been active athletically. At camp,
great was t h e enthusiasm shown
over tennis, swimming, hiking, and
all the other sports offered.
Remember
how
Flo
Garfall
walked off with t h e tennis trophy
in o u r F r e s h m a n year?
She still
has it and will, until this year's
t o u r n a m e n t is completed in the
spring.
Undoubtedly it will stay
in the hands of '45, for Flo's fiercest
competition is offered by another
Sophomore, Nora Giavelli. Nora is
so good that s h e even competed in
the men's tourney last year, so we
predict that the completion of this
year's contest will be very exciting.
Many were the Sophomores who
came o u t for sports last year.
The Basketball League and rivalry
games drew a great deal of these.
If the Class of '44 hadn't been so
lucky, we're sure we would have
won
that
all-important
rivalry
game.
This year, three intrepid Sophs
invaded the men's territory, and
hazarded their commando course.
(See the Nov. 13 NLWS for complete
details.)
Have any girls from the
other classes accomplished a similar
feat? No, and simply because they
haven't the spirit and hardiness of
us Sophs.
And none other than our own
president knocked down the pins
to earn the highest bowling score
this year. Take a bow, Flo, that
l'J!) should make you feel pretty
good.
And who are the three remaining
m e m b e r s of the fencing classes?
T h r e e Sophomores, of course—Boslwiek, Schlott, and C u r r a n . It's loo
bad some of you freshmen, Juniors,
and Seniors don't give these gals a
little competition. Don't forget, you
can still get fencing credit, too
So, we say again, we think the
Soph girls are just about tops in
sports. Don't you agree now'.'
T h e main t h r e a t that the Eagles
face a r e P r a t t ' s two high-scoring
forwards, Raphael and Kaplowitz,
who scored 17 and 12 points respectively in the previous game against
State.
Combs Absent
T h e Eagles a r c further h a n d i capped by the loss of Bob Combs,
who has received orders to report
for active duty tomorrow morning
in Atlantic City. Al the time of
this writing Rich Young and Fran
Mullin are also awailing orders,
and while they think they are able
to m a k e the trip, they aren't positive.
This trip is a sort of farewell
party to the boys, and they a r e
going to stay in New York and see
the town tomorrow and Sunday.
This is also in r e p a y m e n t for a
curtailed Northern trip last fall.
T h e Varsity players making the
trip are A r t Flax, "Moose" Gerber,
Captain "Riz" Hansen, F r a n Mullin.
"Big E d " Reed, Hank Rubach, Rich
Young, and Manager Gene M c Laren.
Some of the jayvees are also
going along, as finances permit, and
they, along with Coach Grogan and
JV Coach Owen Bombard, make a
total of between 15 and 18 men.

Jayvees Replace Them
Early this m o r n i n g t h e Slate College Eagles e m b a r k e d for the city
of New York, where
assuming
they successfully w e n d their way
through a labyrinth of subways,
they will tonight meet P r a t t Institute in their lasl game of the season,
and, probably, their last for the
duration.
This year, due to the usual e x cuse, the basketeers a r e riding the
trains instead of a c h a r t e r e d bus.
T h e y expect to a r r i v e in the

establish themselves in the Hotel

They will spend the
afternoon leisurely among t h e m selves, recuperating from the tiring
effects of the trip.
R e t u r n Contest
The game tonight is a return contest, P r a t t having visited Page Hall
earlier in the season, in which contest the P u r p l e and Gold was on
the short end of a GO-35 score. A l though the team has shown i m provement since this time, it is
doubtful whether they can match
the Brooklynites, who have had a
very successful season.

Democracy at Slate College has become an institution. So
much so that the lew exceptions are glaring blots on the tried and
true paper ol ihe American system. We, as State College students,
should be proud enough of our privileges to desire rectification ol'
these errors.
Today the STATU COI.I.KGK NEWS prints a feature story on the
"gripe" session held by the women of Pierce Hall Tuesday evening.
Although the meeting was treated in a humorous vein, the dormitory women believe firmly in their case, and their problems should
be considered seriously by ihe councilors of Pierce Hall, Residence
Council and State College as a whole.
Of greater moment is ihe case of Residence Council. The
students of State College will agree that the council with its Judicial Hoard, is an integral mechanism in the establishment and
maintenance of residence regulations lis existence is desirable not
only from the standpoint of the women it concerns, but also from
the point of view ol the parents. And since it is a body which
makes and revises rules, provides for their enforcement and exacts
penalties lor their infraction, ii inevitably meets with ihe disfavor
ol some of those who come under its jurisdiction.
Whether or not some ol ihe past actions of Residence Council
base gone beyond ihe pale of popular opinion is noi our concern.
We are interested only in ihe promotion of a closer understanding
and cooperation between the Council and the women it governs,
Toward this end, we believe thai there is bin one solution—a
thorough and complete democrati/.ation of Residence Council.
To accomplish this, we propose the following:
1. That a committee composed of faculty and student members be organized to revise residence rules;
2. That the resulting revisions be submitted at group house
meetings to all women concerned;
3. That at these meetings, the rules be explained and left
open to question or challenge;
4. That no rule ever be put into effect without ratification
by 2 3 of the women;
5. That this voting be supervised by Residence Council
representatives;
6. That no judgment on the infraction of council regulations be made without a hearing prior to imposing of the penalty.
War Activities Council to Direct Campaign
W i t h Blood, Funds, Volunteers A s Goal
In cooperation with the local Red
Cross
Chapter,
War
Activities
Council is currently conducting a
three-fold campaign. A special call
for blood donors and volunteers to
roll bandages and a plea for Red
Cross funds have been issued.
The College Blood Drive, originally scheduled for this week, has
been postponed until March 17, 18,
and li). The Naval Mobile Unit
which collected blood al the Albany
Law School will return at that
time. The response throughout the
city was so great that ihere was
not enough time to accept the blood
of donors from the College. The
blood plasma from these donations
will be senl to aid wounded service
men overseas Students may register as blood donors al the Slamp
Booth.
Bandages are being rolled at the
County Court House daily from 2
to 4 P. M. and 7 lo I) P. M Volunteer workers are required lo wear
while e,owns or dresses and to have
towels or napkins for their hair
Registration is al the Dean of
Women's Office.
The campaign for Rod Cross
funds will nut be extensive because
Campus Chest contributions arc in
pari distributed to thai organization.
However, boxes lo receive
contributions have been placed in
the Annex, cafeteria, Co-op, Slamp
Booth, and campus group houses.
"During the past lew weeks, opportunities in participate in war
work have been made available by
War Council," staled Trece Alley,
I t of the Publicity Committee of
ihe body in summary; "success of
ihe activities now depends on the
student body."
Posted daily on Ihe Bulletin Board

Pierce Hall Has Open
Meeting;
Women Voice Squawks, Gripes
In an attempt lo bring to light
those rules and regulations g o v e r n ing Pierce Hall which the women
of that dormitory feel a r e unsatisfactory, an open meeting was held
Tuesday evening at Pierce Hall
(lid
note: A discussion of the
questions which concern dormitory
women should he of interest to the
eni ire student body.)
"The Dormitory Council, which
as far as 1 know has no constitutional basis for existence, sets itself
up as an arbitrary body.
Il is
responsible lo no one. and yet its
lilies are used as a basis for governing the entire dormitory", said
niic woman
Since this council has
such wide authority over their lives,
Ihe women felt thai they should he
belter represented on il. Such a
motion was made. As a result ol
I his million live
representatives
from Ihe dormitory and one from
each collage will be elected in the
near future.
This will tend to
democratize the council, but its d e cisions will still ho final and subject
to iiu revisions by the girls t h e m selves.
VOL. XXVII. NO. 19
Since a purpose of the meeting
was lo bring In light any "gripes",
one woman started the ball rolling
by saying:
"Turn oil' the light on the front
porch. I'm tired of having cars slop
across Ihe street just lo watch me
say good-night to my dale."
Another added, "Why can't we
wear our hair 'up' to breakfast. In
the morning I have lo put mv hair
'up' and lake it down' so often I
feel like a fcrris wheel by the time
1 get io school" Everyone laughed
and agreed that it was a nuisance.
'I got a warning for lalwng a
shower live minutes after e l e v e n '
Why should 1 be ihe goal when no
where else m the dormitory is the
rule unforced?"
"I want to 'gripe' uboul ihe table
manners. Last night someone threw
a piece of pie al me. Thai's the lasl
straw
I didn't even like the pic."
And everybody having enjoyed
himself and having been relieved of
his favorite "gripe" ihe meeting
disbanded.
A t this meeting, the committee
discussed plans for the proposed
enlargement of the college's enrollment.
Both
the
STATE
COI.I.ECE
NEWS and Press Bureau will work
with the committee toward this end.
A special issue of the NEWS is
planned to display the facilities of
State lo those interested in b e c o m ing students of the college. Press
Bureau will aid in publicizing the
college and its students.
The
alumni and branches of the Alumni
Association will also be asked to
aid in Ihe drive for more students
for State, by contacting various
prospects insofar as it is possible.
Dr. Louis C. Jones, Assistant
Professor of English, is chairman of
the publicity committee. T h e other
members are: Faculty, Dr. Howard
Do Bell, Professor of Mathematics;
Mrs. Agnes Underwood, Secretai-y
to the Alumni Association of State
College; Mr. James Gemmel, I n structor in Commerce; Dr. Floyd
Henrickson, Assistant Professor of
Education for Visual Aid; Students,
J a n e t Baxter, '44; a n d Frances
Bourgeois, '43.
Itinerant Committee
This spring, for the first time, Dr.
Milton G. Nelson, Dean of the College, and Dr. Earl J. Dorwaldt, I n structor in Hygiene, will travel to
various centers
throughout
the
state, selected as places for holding
personal interviews with prospective State students.
April 15 to
May 15 is the tentative period
chosen for the interviews.
The special issue of the NEWS
will be published on March 26, and
will be distributed to all persons
interviewed for admission to the
college, and to other prospects. This
issue will emphasize every phase of
State College life, not only those
phases included in the F r e s h m a n
Handbook, but also such things as
social life, faculty-student relationship, famous graduates of State,
democracy at work in the college,
and State College and the war effort. A large spread of cuts, including views of the college and its a c tivities, will be featured.
Press Bureau Aids
Press Bureau will have an i m portant role to play in the c a m paign. Its work of publicizing t h e
college and Ihe students will be e x tended.
It has been the accomplishment of the Bureau to p u b licize every State College student
al least once during the year, in
home-town and Albany papers.
For Ihe first time, ihe alumni of
ihe college will be asked to work
with the administration and the s t u dents in order to insure the success
of the committee's work. In other
colleges, the alumni have a definite
rule to play in the recruiting of new
students,
State College
alumni
have never evinced such an interest, nor has the college ever a t tempted to create such an interest.
Furthermore, the famous alumni
have never received sufficient p u b licity, and, in Mr. Gemmel's opinion,
they should he encouraged to c o operate more actively with the college.
Mr. Arvid Burke. '28, President
of the Alumni Association, has sent
a letter to the Alumni Association,
stressing the need for students at

Example: Kharkov
Hitler's "New Order" in Europe clearly manifested itself in a United Press dispatch from
Kharkov, Russia, last Monday. We quote verbatim from the New York Times:
"They burned and blasted the principal buildings ol the University of Kharkov, closed twenty
research institutes and shut the city's 107 secondary schools that had been at tended by more
than I()(),()()() students.
"Dmitri Andrcvitch Koineyenko, Professor ol
Organic Chemistry at the University ol Kharkov
and head of the city's Department of Education,
said only the lirst live grades of Russian elementary schools were permitted to function and these
only for two and a half of the sixteen months
the Germans held Kharkov.
"Professor Koineyenko said the Germans began by stripping the well-equipped laboratories,
sending the most valuable equipment to Germany. He said platinum and silver instruments
and quantities of equipment were looted from
the laboratories and shipped to the Reich.
"Then the reign of terror began. Twenty
thousand volumes from Kharkov's scientific
laboratories were burned. Newspaper files were
destroyed. The principal university buildings,
including the scientific buildngs, law school and
the Unversity Club were burned and blasted.
Time bombs were exploded in the biology,
physics, mathematics, chemistry, geology and
geography buildings.
"Thousands of professors were reduced to living b) odd jobs. Others sold matches and soap.
Most were reduced to selling their furniture and
personal belongings on the open market to proi tire food."
W'hai we have quoted above provides the
inclinable evidence ol destruction on which
ever) person concerned with the future ol education must ponder and reponder. In Kharkov
we see the pattern ol Na/i conquest, as we have
seen it in Lidice, ill Rotteiilaui and in Warsaw,

War Fronts by Hippick
Nelson Initiates
Entire Jap Convoy Destroyed;
Cologne, Beriin Rocked by Bombs
T h e most momentous Allied v i c tory in the ever increasing n u m b e r
of enemy routs of the past week
was the complete annihilation of a
24-ship J a p a n e s e convoy bound for
New Guinea.
All but two ships
were battered beyond possible r e pair—the n u m b e r included 12 cargo
and troop ships and 10 escort w a r ships. 15,000 fully-equipped troops
were destroyed, and approximately
five dozen protector fighter planes
were shot down. Allied losses were
limited to three fighter planes and
one bomber.
Boeing,
Lockheed
and
B-25
Mitchell m e d i u m bombers d u m p e d
100 tons of bombs on the a r m a d a
as it made its way to reinforce the
J a p s on the island of New Guinea.
The
Mitchell
medium
bombers
wrecked most havoc, scoring hits on
a major part of the fleet.
Destruction of this Japanese fleet
greatly lessens the possibility of an
Australian invasion, as well as being
an important move to rout the
e n e m y from their positions in Lae
and other fortified parts of New
Guinea.
Main reason for the complete 24hour long victory was that Japanese
officers wasted much valuable time
in dispersing the fleet after the first
signs of attack.
Names to Watch For
Recent a n n o u n c e m e n t that the
Nazis were pouring into Spain and
Portugal brings to light the possibility of a huge Afro-European
battle. Lisbon, it is said, bustles
with an increasing n u m b e r of male
"civilians".
Rommel's
continued
retreat may be the answer to these
reinforcements, but with daily raids
on Axis shipping in the Mediter-
ranean, these troops may j u s t as
well be stationed in the 8th A v e n u e
subway.
Rzhev Falls
On the Russian front, it is the
same old story, now entering its
fourth month. This time, the G e r mans yielded the stronghold of
Rzhev to the Red Army. It now
remains of the enemy to retreat 150
miles southwest to Smolensk. Next
fallen rose pedal from the Nazi rose
will be Orel, thence the Russians
will once again dominate the Donets
Basin.
Having taken K h a r k o v , K u r s k ,
Rzhev, and several minor Nazi
strongholds, the Reds have a d vanced slightly past the line of the
beginning of the Nazi 1942 offensive.
However, another 100-200 miles
foparates the Reds from the main
Jpi'man
defense line, extending
from Ovinsk, through Minsk, Kiev,
and to Odessa.
The past week also brought two
huge bombing attacks against G e r man cities. Cologne was hit by the
second largest bombing attack of
the war, totaling a r o u n d 500 planes.
Huge block-busters tore German
industry, and Berlin was rocked by
another huge attack. The Germans
admitted that this latter raid was a
supposed
"softening-up"
process,
preparatory to invasion. This coincides with recent statements by
British and American statesmen of
a not-so-far distant continental i n vasion.
On the home front, deferment of
farmers seems accepted. This will
mean, however, that fathers not e n gaged in vital defense will be s u b ject to call.
Impressions—A Cossack & A Critic
by S u n n a Cooper
Twenty-eight stalwart Cossacks
made a dash for the back door.
Twenty-seven got there. The 28th
was young, handsome, and forcibly
detained.
His name — Vladimir
Smakoff.
When first accosted, he was a
little apologetic about his diction.
"If you would rather," he said,
"perhaps my friend speaks more
clear." He was immediately r e a s sured that his English was most u n derstandable, and his "V's" for
"W's" were most intriguing.
When asked why his friends were
in such a h u r r y , he said that they
were catching the next train to
New York; they had put away their
bus until after the war.
—Then aren't
you afraid
they
will leave williout
you?
And with the usual courtesy of
his people, he answered. "Oh no. A
few minutes, they do not matter."
Vladimir said it was a pleasure
to appear, too, three years ago.' 1
He came to America in 1933 and
has been with the Don Cossacks
ever since. Before that, he toured
a great deal in Europe and Africa.
The h e a d q u a r t e r s of Serge Jarolf
and his Cossacks is New York City.
Their next performance was the
following evening in Carnegie Hall.
As a Cossack,
Vladimir
has
traveled the length and breadth of
I lie United Slates. His blue eyes
grew very serious when he said,
"It is a great nation" . .
The cub honked impatiently, and
the smiling blond Cossack with the
ruddy complexion bid a hasty farewell—calling hack from the street,
"You know'.' Now, 1 am American!"
Treking to Page Hall to see and
hear the Don Cossacks came e l e v e n y e a r - o l d Hilary Levin of Albany—
a small girl with a huge u n d e r standing and appreciation of good
music.
She sat with her head cocked to
one side, and pencil in her hand,
now and then adding comments to
the program.
At the top, she had scribbled,
"Some of the men have first soprano
voices."
Hilary thought The Funeral
Service, was "very expressive.
But
you'd thing a funeral service would
be sad".
After Of Thy Mystical
Supper,
she had written, "Starts quite softly.
If you didn't know, you'd think it a
love song or lullaby, except for
some particularly loud spots."
She singled out "the contrast"
in
Tschaikowsky's
Recollections,
recognizing several of the themes.
But it was the Cradle Sony of an
Old Don Cossack that she labeled
"Cuter than anything else so far.
Exquisite!"
The Plain, Un Sleppe had "zoom
sounds that are very nice, and so
is the l a - l a - i n g ' .
In Praise
of Raspberries
was
"darling cute, delightful, and best".
On hearing Cradle
Son;/, she
commented, "Dreamy.
I almost
went to sleep" The Sony of Stenku
Razin was "sad and melodic".
Hilary's criticism of Three
Cossack Sonys was a little more severe
The Volya Boat Sony (lirst en
core) was "sung with great feeling",
and the second encore was "quite
emotional".
Hilary "adored the dance".
It
was "perfect, ideal, and marvelous.
I must try the Kazatsky or something when I gel home"

KISS THE BOYS GOODBYE, BUT NOT HERE
DEP'T: Prior to this mass protest at the Girl's Dorm
described elsewhere, there was a furor caused by the
announcement that the Ingle room was to be closed
at 10 o'clock week nights and 11 weekends. Concensus of opinion is that the p o w e r s - t h a t - b e frown on
the seclusion offered by said Mecca to worldly turmoil . . . However, the originators, r e t u r n i n g to the
realm of common sense, a b a n d o n e d the p r o j e c t realizing perhaps that it would have been carrying
this rationing a little too far. . . .

Student Council can be likened to ,m expensive
auto engine; il operates so quietly you're not always
sure it's running. Finance Hoard can he likened 'to
an expensive auto without ils engine; it look.-, swell
but il lacks the power to do anything.
(Myskmiiii
can be likened to the Model T. still holding ils own
bill this is beside the point.)
^ Students have been suggesting that either Sluclelii
Council step mi ihe gas, or Finance Board pitl some
power under ihe hood. These two amendments up
for consideration will help achieve both desirable oh
jectives, in the following manner:
Student Council will critically examine the budgri
ol each activity. If there is .some item they colisidei
superfluous to an adequate program, or slightly extravagant, they will reason with the organization, and
appeal, if necessary, to the student body for tin
elimination or reduction of the objectionable item
Tins will insure an intelligent purusal of ihe budget
as well as save a loi of [he Association's asseinbh
lime. . .
Finance Hoard will act as a Comptroller, handhiu;
the money voted by the Association to each activity
and having the power to force each organization I"
stick to a line budget, There will he no inure jockey
ing ol funds; with surplus money from one ilcin
transferred to another item, as is ihe case at present
Aside from its main accomplishmenl, such a system
should still the occasional vague threats of invesliga
lion; threats which indicate by their ominous turn
that at least 3 people will laud in jail. After all hav
ing climbed the nauseating road to a politically domin
ated success, our holders of these often empty Itoiuii
should be allowed 'o sit hack and rest in peace
Entering the field of accelerated
programs State will offer s u m m e r
courses, without tuition, to m e m bers of the present freshman and
Sophomore classes. A freshman, by
taking three successive
summer
semesters may reduce by one full
year the time it would ordinarily
take to graduate. For the Sophomores, two s u m m e r semesters will
cut one semester off the regular
graduation time, with six additional
hours credit.
Each enrollee will take ten s e m ester hours.
The semester will
begin on J u n e 26 and be competed
August 21. Thus, graduation of the
freshman group will take place in
August of 1945. Sophomores will
receive their degrees in J a n u a r y of
the same year. Completion at this
time will grant each enrollee a
Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of
Science degree. An additional year
of advanced work will be necessary
in order to receive a Master's Decree and with it. a teaching certificate.
Type of Courses
The type and character of the
courses to be offered will depend
upon the need of those planning to
enroll. Classes will begin at 8:10
and be over as soon as possible,
because of the uncomfortable a t mosphere in college classrooms d u r ing hot afternoons.
This program is being offered to
September and J a n u a r y entrants of
the Class of '46, and also to those
who plan to enter the college in
September, 1943. A limited number
of Sophomores will also be allowed
to attend this s u m m e r session. It
will so be arranged that there will
be no effect upon those who do not
desire to take the s u m m e r courses.
To date, Dr. Milton G. Nelson,
Dean of the College, has received
34 positive replies from freshmen,
74 negative, and 123 students will
advise him by March 10 of their
ability to take the s u m m e r course.
Requests by Sophomores must be
on file with the Registrar not later
than March 15. The Dean requests
that members id' the Class of '45
call at his office today to complete
tentative registration cards. Since
only a limited n u m b e r will be
taken, "first come, first served" will
be the method used to determine
who will lie allowed to take the
course.
Status of Students
A freshman who enrolls for this
program will no longer be considSinco he will be ahead of the reguered a member of the Class of '-Hi.
lar members, but behind the p r e ceding class, he will be a member
of a special group.
If only one s u m m e r semester is
completed, and a student no longer
desires to continue with the summer
courses, he will gain one semester
of college work

wX
Will Feature May Murals
T h e Pageant of the Pacific, an
exhibit of reproductions of murals
made by M. Covaarribias for the
Golden Gate Exposition will be
displayed all next week in the
second floor of Draper Hall. The
exhibits are six maps which constitute a pictorial encyclopedia of
the Pacific area. The maps p r e sent the art of the Pacific, e t h nology and economy, botany and
zoology,
native
housing
and
means of transportation.
Miss Ruth E. Hutchins, Assistant Professor of Art, emphasizes
the importance of the exhibit,
especially for all Social Studies
majors.
Newman
Slates
Holiday Dance
"This 'riotous' affair, which has
come to be Newman Club's major
contribution to the college social
calendar each year, promises this
year to surpass all previous efforts."
Thus did William Tucker. '43, P r e s ident of the club, describe Harp's
Riot which will be held March 13.
The music for the evening will be
provided by Gordon Jones' orchestra, which has gained a reputation
of no small proportions in social
circles throughout the Capital District.
The dance will be held in
the Commons from 8:30 to 12:00
P M., and will be featured by e n tertainment including Irish songs
and novelty numbers, in keeping
with the St. Patrick's Day theme.
Refreshments
will
be
served
through the medium of "Patty's
Palatial Pub." The affair will be
strictly informal—as informal as
possible within the bounds of wisdom, and there will be a n u m b e r of
Irish reels for the children of Erin's
sod.
Tickets will be on sale at a table
in lower Draper at 75 cents a
couple. It is either a boy or girl
bid affair.
"Sweetheart's of the
Riot" are to be chosen by the m e m bers of the orchestra and they will
lie awarded a prize.
Newman Club members will gel
in the mood for St. Patrick's Day
and the Riot at the next meeting of
the Club, Thursday evening, March
11. At this time, Professor J o h n A.
Mahar. head of French, and State's
own authority on Ireland and her
history will address the members.
"Anyone who has ever h e a r d Mr.
Mahar speak on St. Patrick and the
traditions of Ireland needs no a s s u r a n c e that the meeting will bo of
the utmost interest in all attending,"
said Tucker. The proceedings will
get u n d e r way at 7:30 P. M. and
the meeting will be followed by
dancing and refreshments.
Next Article On Teaching
The fifth in the series of articles,
"Why Remain in Teaching." by Dr.
Allen J. Hicks, will not appear this
week because of the lack of space.
Il will, however, be published in
next week's issue

It was also suggested by Mrs. Underwood that the alumni branches
be asked to contact high school
seniors interested in State College
in the various districts and counties.
The branches will also be
asked to contact their local newspapers to indicate their interest in
seeing State College Press Bureau
releases published.
To these effects, a circular letter may be sent
to alumni. In contacting prospective students, alumni will be asked
to inform the college as lo the prospeel's personality, interests, and
possibilities.
Mr Gcmmel's typing
classes may be ulili/ed ill typing
these letters as a regular class
fuiieliiin.
Dr. Nelson informed the committee as to ihe total number of inquiries received from prospects thus
far, a total of 211. Thus far Nassau county has sent in the most Inquiries, followed by Westchester.
Albany and Binghamton. Dr. Nelson also expressed his belief that
it would be belter to send out p u b licity material to prospects at frequent intervals instead of a bulk
of
information
at
once.
Tins
method, Dr. Nelson believes, would
prove much more effective.
On March 26, the dale of the is-
suing id the special issue of the
NEWS, Dr. Nelson will address Ihe
student assembly, and ask each
student i" lake his copy of the
paper home and see that it gels into
ihe hands of a prospect
Due of the main points stressed
,il the meeting w i r e the entrance
requirements.
In the lask ol interesting future students, emphasis
must hi' placed on the change in
ihe requirements,
A very high
average is mi longer the criterion
lor admission. No exact pattern of
subject preparation is demanded for
admission as a candidate for the
Bachelor of Ails d e g r e e except that
English \ y e n s must lie completed
satisfactorily by all applicants, and
each applicant must present Hi
Uliils, made up mainly of foreign
languages, mathematics, science or
.social studies in addition to English
A candidate's high school
authorities must attest to Ids intellectual

Forum to Discuss
;ussian
Needs
Forum's interest, for the n e x t
nine weeks, will be centered on
Russia.
A Russian W a r Relief
Drive for old clothes will begin n e x t
week and continue until May 10.
The group will hold a discussion of
the Russian-Polish question at its
meeting next Wednesday in the
Lounge at 3:30 P. M.
A box will be placed in the lower
hall of Draper for contributions to
the old clothes drive.
Explained
Sunna Cooper, '45, c h a i r m a n of this
campaign, "Old clothes—not ragged
ones—which are of little or no use
to us will be of great help to the
Russian people. The clothes collected will be sent to New York and
carried by Russian ships to Russia,
free of charge. Surely, this is one
more part of the war effort in which
we can all easily participate."
Four speakers will introduce the
discussion of Russian-Polish conflict to the other F o r u m members.
They are David Slavln and Marie
Soule. Seniors, and A r t h u r C o r n well and Bernard Skolsky, Juniors.
Rhona Ryan, '44, will be moderator.
Another feature of next Wednesday's meeting will be discussion of
present aid to Spain.
Resolutions
to amend Forum's constitution will
also be presented.
These a m e n d ments will deal with: elections of a
speaker, selection of board m e m bers, and payments of clues.
A committee will also report on
the $25,000 salary ceiling, which
will be discussed by F o r u m .
The
stand of the group on this question
will then be sent to Congress.

Gone for away into unknown land
"By Gene McLaren *
What a confused ferment of
seemingly unbridled chaos is N e w
York, so utterly unfathomable to
the uninitiated! Billions of separate
things, not only buildings and men,
b u t the intangible thoughts, p r o b lems, romances, and other things
which falsely seem so infinitesimal
in the activities of the city, first b e wilder the visitor and then sear h i m
with an unforgettable feeling of

If anyone noticed some members
of the basketball team wandering
around Monday morning with dazed
looks on their faces, the reason is
that they spent the weekend (as
well as all the money they could
lay their hands on) in New York
City,

They started out gaily enough
last Friday morning, legitimately
and happily cutting their classes.
A welcoming committee was at

waved to us, saying, "This way to

Everyone
disappeared so quickly that neither
of the photographers (from the
Times and Tribune) had a chance to
get a picture.
Using the quickest method of
escape, we piled into taxies and
proceeded to the suites reserved for
us in the Hotel Plymouth. S o m e thing was wrong with the driver of
the cab we were in. He looked
awfully mad when we paid him,
even though we gave him a nickle
tip.
Nourishment
After settling ourselves in our
rooms, we all went out and started
something which was destined to
consume much time and many h u n dreds of "c's"—we ate.

S a t u r d a y morning the weekend
was cut short for the air corps men

elusive but ever menacing orders.
T h a t night those who were left saw
the radio show "Abie's Irish Rose"
at NBC Radio City and b r o k e all
rules and regulations by getting up
and departing before the studio was
off the air, in order to get to t h e
CBS Studio to see and hear Lucky
Strike's "Your Hit Parade." We can
testify to the fact that the whole
show, and Joan Edwards in p a r ticular, was enjoyed by everyone.
The boys left on S u n d a y really
had a wild time. We w e n t to M a n hattan Island, rushed to shows and
ate about a dozen times, and ended
by creating a civil war between two
New York Central conductors. A r riving at G. C. T. thirty seconds b e fore the train left, we rushed out to
where two trains were waiting and
asked a couple of conductors which
one went to Albany. While the conductors, who knew less than we did,
argued about it, both trains started
going.

much more commendable than their
last. Instead of bearing a t h i r t y point deficit when the fortieth m i n ute passed, the Eagles were fighting

For the first time in m a n y games,
State played "first half" ball r e a c h ing the intermission in a 26-26
deadlock. In the third q u a r t e r they
assumed a two-point lead which
they held for some time, finally
relinquishing it as the final period
began. Partly d u e to lack of s u b stitutes and partly d u e to the size

in the earlier game, the sharpshooting of Raphael a n d Kaplowitz
spelled disaster to t h e Eagle d e fense, and constituted t h e difference.
The 51 points the Statesmen were

Niagara, to whom victory was conceded far in advance,
ceded far in advance. At times the
team showed flashes of first rate
basketball with Combs,
Hansen,
Marsland, and Mullin forming the
spearhead of the Eagles' sporadic
attack. Since one of the scorebooks
was misplaced, the box scores of
several games are not available,
but as far as can be ascertained,
Hansen, Combs, and Mullin, in that
order, were the high scorers of the
season.

Schroon Lake Seniors
To Make Tour of State
The committee appointed
last
week by Dr. John M. Sayles, P r e s i dent of the College, for the purpose
of publicizing State College and its
facilities, met twice this last week.
This committee, after considerable
discussion, turned out several ideas
which, if put in working order,
should help the college to attain Us
goal of 400 freshmen next fall.
Inspiration for one of these plans
was the impending arrival in Albany
of a group of Schroon Lake high
school seniors, who are making
an annual Spring trip to Albany
rather than to Washington. In a d dition to the usual sight-seeing
tours, they will be shown through
Slate College. The Junior Guides
will show them through the b u i l d ings and point out places of interest.
Patricia Latimer, '44, as chairman
of the Junior Advisors, will be in
charge of this project. The high
school seniors will be entertained
at Sayles Hall and eat Sunday d i n ner there. The project is scheduled
for this week-end.
High School Visits
The Publicity Committee intends
to contact the Albany Chamber of
Commerce to suggest that other
high school classes in the stale also
make Albany the destination of
their annual trips. The college
would then go through the same
procedure for those other schools,
giving itself valuable publicity by
placing itself before the eyes of high
school seniors.
Dr. Milton G. Nelson, Dean, has
submitted the list of applicants for
admission before the Committee and
plans are being made to contact
State College alumni residing in the
towns where these applicants live,
in order to inform and interest these
applicants in the college. Mrs. A g nes Underwood, Secretary to the
Alumni Association, has prepared a
form letter which will be typed out
by members of the Commerce D e partment. Mr. James Gemincll, I n structor of Commerce, will be in
charge of this typing project.

Student Assembly to Vote
On Three Amendments
ERCS to Receive Orders
Within Week or 10 Days
Dr. Milton G. Nelson, Dean of
the College, yesterday received a
communication from the H e a d q u a r t e r s of the Second Service
Command, which read in part as
follows:
"Members of the Enlisted R e serve Corps who will be ordered
to duty by this H e a d q u a r t e r s will
begin to receive their
orders
within the next week or ten days.
There will be approximately two
weeks time between the date of
issuance of such orders and the
date upon which they will report
for duty.
"If students remain in College
awaiting receipt of these orders,
they should make definite a r rangements at their homes for the
immediate forwarding of all official correspondence."
What will be the fate of s t u dents who are majors in Science
and Mathematics is not yet d e cided. The directive received y e s terday seemed to apply only to
those in fields other than those
mentioned above. Nothing can be
determined until the actual orders
arrive.

VOL. XXVII. NO. 80
Set (or Tuesday
Resolutions to Propose
Finance Board Changes
Members of Student Association
in this morning's assembly will pass
j u d g m e n t on three amendments to
the S t u d e n t Association Constituion, introduced on F e b r u a r y 26.
The first of the two resolutions
introduced by Harold Ashworth, '44,
for Student Council pertains to
Finance Board.
This resolution
would completely abolish Article I X
of the Constitution, substituting i n stead three separate sections which
would also include the material now
in the Article.
Section 1 of the A m e n d m e n t
reads: "All expenses of the A s s o ciation and all authorized i n d e b t e d ness shall be met by a per capita
tax, levied annually." This is as
the Constitution now reads.
Section 2, however, introduces
new material. Under the a m e n d ment. Finance Board would " p r e vent the transfer of runds by any
organization . . , from one line of
its budget to another." This would
prevent the expenditure of money
on items which are not mentioned
in the organization's budget.
Also, "Finance Board shall p r e vent the transfer of funds from any
organization . . . lo any other o r ganization."
Two years ago, an
organization exceeded its income
somewhat, and transfered this e x cess to another organization. Should
the bill be passed, this p r o c e d u r e
would be prohibited.
F u r t h e r Restrictions
"The Finance Board may at any
time impose further restrictions on
the finances of organizations receiving support from the S t u d e n t Tax,"
Should the amendment pass with
this clause, it would give the
Finance Board power to cut any
budget of any organization, increase
it, or withhold funds already a p propriated by the Student Association.
It would indirectly remove
the prerogative of the Student Body
to accept or reject items or whole
budgets of any organization.
However, the last clause of the
whole a m e n d m e n t reads: "decisions
of Finance Board may be appealed
to the Student Council and thence
to the Association as provided in
the B y - L a w s of the Constitution,
Section 4, which states that upon
the petition of 25 members of t h e
Association against a ruling of S t u dent Council, an appeal may be
made to the Association and the
latters's ruling accepted.
May Question Items
The new amendment
further
grants Finance Board, through the
medium of the Student Auditor to
question any expenditure of any
organization receiving funds from
the Student Tax.
The second Student Council r e s o lution pertains to the relation of
Student Council and the Budget.
"Article V, section 2 of the Constitution . . entitled Duties of S t u d e n t
Council be amended by adding, 'To
formulate and submit the S t u d e n t
Association Budget in such a m a n ner as it sees lit, acting cooperatively with organizations receiving
funds from the Student Tax ' "
This proposition was offered in an
attempt to curtail the great c o n fusion and "the passing of the
Budget without the full consideration of its merits." Under the p r e s ent system, the tentative budget of
each organization is submitted to
Finance Board. The heads of each
organization then meet and reduce
