Directors Decide Rules
A s Players Workout
By
Pefe Marchetta\
One full month remains in. the
men's athletic program. This p r o vides plenty of time for the completion of a softball schedule. Now
that a four-team league is definitely
decided upon, t h e r e should be no
time lost in organizing a schedule
and setting the opening dates.
Time is a very important element
and the sooner the softball league
c a n start, t h e better.
Inclement
weather can play havoc with almost
any outdoor sport schedule.
This
is especially t r u e with softball.
Third Round Possible
T h e n too, only six games will
comprise one round. By starting
the league at an early date it will
be possible to play at least two
r o u n d s with a good possibility of
a third, how about beginning before
next week is ou?
Every year the people in charge
of softball find it very difficult to
get men to volunteer for umpiring.
This year the need for umpires is
greater than ever. It is essential
that competent persons are assigned
to govern games.
However, this
cannot be done unless enough people sign up and can be instructed
in the ground rules. In order to
facilitate matters and elminate possible arguments, we will publish
elsewhere on this page the ground
rules that will govern the softball
league this year.
Starting Time a Problem
The starting time for games this
year will present a problem to Gillen and Reed, who are in charge of
the softball league. Allowance must
be made for those players who have
labs in the afternoons, a n d there
a r e many. The absence of one or
two players will probably mean the
postponement of the contest as
every squad will have few replacements, if any.
We would like to suggest that
the starting time be set for 5:00-5:30
P.M.
This will allow sufficient
time for those having late labs and
also the games will be finished at a
time which will not be too late for
supper.
At present the only thing p r e venting the immediate advent of the
I n t r a m u r a l softball season is that
unpredictable factor called weather.
However, directors Ben Reed and
Dan Gillen a r e prepared to begin
the schedule as soon as the condition of t h e diamon in front of Page
Hall meets the approval of Presid e n t Sayles.
T h e four teams a r e ready and
after-effects of last week e n d s first
eager to "play ball," although the
work out left many stiff and c a u tious.
With the trophy at stake,
the competition among the four
teams representing EEP, the Finks,
the Dorm, and an independent team
composed of the remaining males at
State should be keen. Last year's
champions, the Ramblers, have combined with E E P , the r u n n e r - u p
squad.
F r o m all appearances the league
is going to be a batter's paradise
this year unless some new pitchers
are discovered. Even the disappearance of the lively ball necessitated
by shortaage of materials will not
be enough to allow t h e present crop
of h u r l e r s to check the hitlers.
The regular softball rules shall
apply to all games played in the
Softball League with the addition
of the following ground rules.
1. A batter may not run on ii dropped third strike.
2. On an overthrow which strikes a
spectator or any other obstruction
the base runners automatically advance one base.
3. A runner on third base can not
score on a. puss.d ball or wild pitch.
4. A ball falling through the trees
In right and center fields If caught
will be registered as a put out.
(This rule applies to right unci center fields only.)
5. Ball hit to right of designated
tree marker in right field and Into
Western Avenue will automatically
be a double.
Walking down the hall our eye
play of paper on the W A A bulletin
board. There in longhand covering
eight sheets of paper was the W A A
constitution.
A change h a s been
made. The W A A Flashes is to b e come a p e r m a n e n t part of the p r o gram, a paper to be published or
rather mimeographed once a month.
WAA will have plenty of publicity
next year, w h a t with its own paper
and probably the entire sports page
of the News.
A Plea for Beauty
Comes spring; comes the finish
of the tennis tourney. Money is
scarce, but beauty is important.
And just what are all these words
leading too? In a few plain and
simple ones—we need a new trophy
for the winner of the tennis t o u r n a ment. There is little of grace or
beauty in the present one, which is
the slightly b a t t e r e d figure of an
athletic girl clad in bloomers. Surely
the budget could stretch that far.
To the victor belongs the spoils,
but in this case the spoils, except
for the honor, a r e hardly worth
winning. Let's not let the episode
of the Stanley C u p be repeated h e r e
at State.
Paging Silver Q u e e n
Yesterday
someone
asked
us
about the horses o u t at the Ranch.
"I'd like to go riding, b u t I'm a
trifle afraid, since I've never been.
Are they very spirited?" T h a t i n nocent query brought Silver Queen
to mind. Dear, staid Silver Queen,
never willing to move faster than a
slow walk, snatching at every e x cuse to pause and sleep, she's a
horse that we would recommend for
any novice. Of course there are
other horses for those who like to
ride not just sit on a horse. T h e r e
are Captain and Ginger and King.
But Silver Queen with her placid
calm is the horse with t h e colorless
personality at The Ranch.
WAA announces that golf will be
offered as a sport this spring. Miss
Isabelle Johnson, instructor of p h y sical education, will act as s u p e r visor of the sport, and no captain
has been appointed.
Until t h e
weather permits, practice will be
held in t h e g y m on Monday, W e d nesday and Friday at 3:30 P . M.
Cages have been set u p for tee-off
practice.
Ten h o t u s playing is
necessary for credit.
Mary Now a n d Dorothy T o w n send, softball captains, wish every
group house which wishes to e n t e r
a team in the softball league this
spring, to submit t h e n a m e s of t h e
players before May 1. Only those
turned in before this date will be
considered eligible to play in the
league. Until the field is d r y , i n door practice will be held in the
gym on Monday, Wednesday and
Friday at 3:30 P . M.
Riding will s t a r t again S a t u r d a y ,
if the weather is pleasant. J u n e
Clark, captain, wants all girls w h o
wish to join the class that morning,
to sign the list on WAA's bulletin
board.
Tennis, badminton, and a r c h e r y
complete the spring sports c a l e n dar, but these will begin only w h e n
weather conditions allow outdoor
playing.
Officers for W A A Council will be
voted upon Monday a n d Tuesday
at the table by the W A A bulletin
board. Only those w h o h a v e fulfilled the r e q u i r e m e n t s in t h r e e
sports for the year in which they
are to be elected a r e eligible for
office.
Nominees a r c as follows: P r e s i dent: Kay Devinc, Kit Hcrdmnn,
Li-da LaSalle, and Dot Townsend;
Vice-President:
Rita Daly, Lois
Dann, Mary Domann, a n d J a n e
Pickcrt; Secretary: Georgette D u n n
and Natalie Bullock;
Treasurer:
Helen Bushncll and Mary Now;
Office Manager: Flo Garfall, Nora
Giavelli, and Mary Sanderson.
Girls qualified to vote a r e those
who have completed the r e q u i r e ments in one sport of the c u r r e n t
year.
T h e i n c u m b e n t president,
Win Jones, hopes that all t h e girls
eligible to vole, will take advantage
of their privilege.
T E N N I S MEN WANTED
Harry Kensky is having difficulty
locating enough tennis players to
carry through with the schedule
planned. All
"hidden talent" is
urged to get in touch with h i m
immediately. If a sufficient n u m ber of candidates do not report, a
repetition of last year's mid-season
cancelation m a y result.

With the end of the swimming
season in view, Pat Latimer, c a p tain, has given a report on the r e sults of its activities. The season
was very sueeessful, both in athletic
and practical accomplishments,
Twenty girls have received credit
in the sport. Life-saving tests will
be held after Easter, and those who
succeed in passing will be qualified

Students to Elect
War Activities Council will p r e sent in Assembly this morning
nominations for freshman and S o p homore m e m b e r s to the Council.
S t u d e n t Association may then n o m inate two m e m b e r s from each class
who they deem worthy of m e m b e r ship on the Council. This inauguartes a new system which, it is
hoped, will quiet
dissatisfaction
which now current in the College
concerning the present system.
Of the six members of this year's
War Activities Council, Emily Blaisiar, is the only member who will
be leaving. The remaining students
are Trece Aney, Patricia Latimer,
Riiona Ryan, Fred Shoemaker, and
Mary Betty Stengel, Juniors.
Four New Members
The Council proposes to add four
new members, two from the present
Sophomore class and two from the
freshmen class.
The four nominees to be p r e sented for student consideration are
S u n n a Cooper and Ruth Hines,
Sophomores, and Nancy Randerson
and Maire Leibl, freshmen. These
students were deemed worthy of a
place on War Council because they
possess the necessary qualifications
of interest and ability.
Voting on these eight candidates,
lour nominated by War Council
and four by the student body, will
be held in Assembly next Friday,
May 7. It is hoped that this more
demociuuc procedure will end the
controversy
concerning
membership in War Council.

Greig heard him and called him
"a genius such as we Scandinavians
must love;" the Times Union r e viewer attended a recital and lauded
his "unusual dynamic effects;" on
May 8 a State College audience will
have an opportunity to add their
impressions of tile Pianist-Composer-Conductor—Percy Grainger.
Music Council will present G r a i n ger with the College Chorus in a
40-minule program which will comprise the afternoon entertainment of
Moving-Up Day. The recital will
be held in Page Hall Auditorium at
4 P.M.
For more than half a century,
Percy Grainger has been devoted to
the piano, having made his first
public appearance at the age of ten.
Australian-horn, he was educated
in Melbourne and in Germany.
The k e e n - e y e d ,
fluffy-haired
pianist may well be called the
"patriot-musician," for he claims
his passion is "English-speaking
music" which includes works by
composers of the United States,
Britain, and his own Australia.
Ameiican
audiences
first
heard
Grainger in 1915. Three years latV,
while he was serving as a bandsman in the United States Army, the
musician became an American citizen.
Tours id' England,
Australia,
Smith Africa, Holland, Scandinavia,
and other European countries have
introduced audieni es to his talent.
Grainger's recitals are well sprinkled with work u the moderns—
Debussy, Ravel, i Melius, Albeniz,
^ a i p e u i e i , u e u , a/iu u u i u n .
"Molly
on ilia Shore,"
"Sheplierd's Hey," and "Irish Tune from
Comity Hey" as well as the more
famous
"Country
Gardens"
are
among Grainger's compositions.
Student of folksong. Grainger has
collected melodies from lands as
distant as the South Seas.
Admission to the recital is by
student lax tickets. General admission tickets may be purchased at the
Co-op or at McClurc and Dorwaldt's
for 85 cents.
Diploma, Certificate Deadline
In order to graduate, Seniors
must order and pay for their diplomas by 11:30 today. The deadline
lor teaching certificates is also today. Orders must be placed at the
table in lower hall of Draper.
Diplomas cost S2.50; teaching certificates, $3.00.
Seniors caps and gowns for Moving-Up Day will be distributed at
the Co-op next week.

interest.
Frosh Interviews
Begin This Week
Twenty high school seniors seeking admission to the College as
m e m b e r s of the Class of '47 were
interviewed here Wednesday, whiie
a second group of twenty will be
interviewed today. During the next
month, other interviews will be held
here and in high schools throughout the state by Dr. Milton G. Nelson, Dean, and Dr. Earl J. Dorwaldl,
Instructor in Hygiene.
Of the first group interviewed,
live applicants were men. Ninety
interviewees are scheduled to visit
the College during May, ten of
whom
are expected
tomorrow.
Other interviews will be field here
next Wednesday and May 7, 2],
and 28, on each of which dates
twenty applicants are expected.
The traveling interview committee's itinerary is as follows: May 10,
Utica; May 11, Syracuse; May 12,
Buffalo; May 13. Corning; May 14.
Binghamlon; May 13, Poughkcepsie;
May 10. Minoola; May 20, New York
City; and May 27, Watertown.
These visits by Dr. Nelson and Dr.
Dorwaldt comprise a portion of the
Publicity Committee's plans to incrca.se enrollment in the College.
Dean Nelson Clarifies Fifth Year Dilemma
Iiy J a n e Heath
Humors concerning rationing, and
the advance ol ihe Allied armies are
nnl ihe only false ideas that find
their way around Ihe hall.-, of Stale
College. The lutes I dilemma concerns the method of obtaining a
Masters Degree under the Five
Year program by students who are
planning to leach next year.
A release Iron) the Ofliee of the
I Iran ol ihe College, issued Wedno .day is an attempt to clarify this
I i .-.iliim n.r Seniors who upon graduation plan to teach rather than
return for the lilih year
Dr Milton G Nelson has announced Iwo plans, either ol which
may lie pursued by students who
intend to complete ihe .study lor a
Masters Degree al Stall'.
Plan A requires a student's attendance for one lull year at the
regular session of school. The release explained, "This is a part ol
the integrated live year course and
mi the fifth-year level consists ol
twelve hours of professional work
and eighteen
hours of content
study."
A section of the college catalogue
for 1943-44 is devoted to a full dos-
criptiun ol the program. The college catalogue is now in the hands
of Ihe printers and should be r e ceived from llieni about May 15.
Plan A, of course would necessitate
a person's leaving Ihe teaching field
lor a school year
Plan B, however, is designed lor
teachers who desire to remain al
their work. The Dean has a n n o u ii'd,
'This plan is intended to meet
ihe needs ol teachers who hold a
leu-year provisional or a temporary
certificate, who must earn thirty
hours of graduate credits, and who
wish lo earn those hours through
summer session study. The Class
of 1943 probably knows that only
majors in Commerce qualify for the
ten year provisional certificate. All
others will leach mi a temporary
certificate issued by and remaining
111 force al the pleasure of the
State Education Department.
The
requirements
established
under this procedure are outlined
as follows: "A minimum of eight
hours in Education (Philosophy of
Education,
Educational
Research
Problems, and two additional hours
in Eduiatlon as a d v i s e d ) " plus "al
VOL. XXVII. NO. 85
lea. I eighteen hours earned in an
approved
content
field."
Other
hours to make a tolal ol at least
thirty are to be d e n i e d to electives
which the student will select and
which must be approve 1 by the
Graduate Committee of th < College.
Il had been rumored that courses
necessary for completion of hours
lo earn a Master's Degree c.illld
not be taken in summer school. Il
is line, explained Dr. Nelson, that
certain courses olfered t:i students
working lor llieir Master's Degrees
at a full-year regular session a r e
not olfered to summer school s t u dents.
However,
these courses
have substitutes in the summer
school cui riculum
Regulations of the Stale Board of
Regents require that thirty semester hours of approved advanced
eour.es he completed bid..re a permanent license can be secured for
leaching
an
academic
subject.
Both of Dr. Nelson's proposed plans
meet these regulations.
The necessity for an alternate
plan has come as a result of the
large number of placements already
made in Ihe idass of '43.
T h e 1943-44 Budget will be p r e sented in Assembly this morning
for consideration by S t u d e n t Association. This Budget has already
been carefully considered by F i n ance Board before being turned
over to S t u d e n t Association. The
total budget is $10,824.30 or a d e crease of $2,028.45 over last year.
Such a decrease will insure a lower
s t u d e n t tax for next year.
Large MAA Reduction
T h e lower figure is d u e to may
factors, the chief of which is the
vitural discontinuation of MAA.
The comparison of the MAA a p p r o priation for last year of $2,238.75
and that of this year, $150, shows
how ihe decrease was possible.
This lowering in male enrollment
will be matched, it is hoped, by a
s u b s e q u e n t rise in the enrollment,
of women thus accounting for the
raise in the WAA budget. This,
however, was not enough to upset
the dillercnce in the two budgets.
T h e $150 allowed to MAA is thought
lo be sufficient to provide a sports
program for the men who will be
here and also a reserve, until the
war is over.
O t h e r organizations who lowered
their requests were Music Council,
Debate Council, Pedagogue, and
PTEB.
The
STATE
COLLEGE
NEWS,
D & A. Council, WAA, Student
Council, Myskania and Frosh H a n d book raised llieir appropriation.
Twelve or Thirteen Dollar Tax
This decrease makes possible a
$12 or $13 student tax for next year;
which is to be determined by S t u dent Association. A representative
of Finance Board, in addition to
presenting ihe Budget, v/ill suggest
two plans lor a lower tax The first
would simply authorize a $13 tax
which would fully cover the Budget
as it now stands.
The second
would suggest a $12 tax. It would
be covered by a surplus which F i nance Board expects to realize
from this year's Budget. A motion
from the floor by a Student Association m e m b e r will be necessary
lor putting into motion either of
these plans.
Many of the appropriations from
ihe 1942-43 Budget are being t u r n ed back to the Board. If a $12
student lax is authorized by S t u dent Association, it will necessitate
using $024 of the surplus. This is
based on 850 students and will not
deplete the surplus drastically.
T h e Infirmary
fund and the
Pedagogue appropriations are based
mi the assumption that 850 students
will be attending State College next
year
This is ihe last budget to be p r e I'lited by Finance Board as such.
Next year The Board of Audit and
Control will function in its place
with essentially the same duties.
The fact that Finance Board has
already reviewed the Budget does
not mean that individual budget
in ins may not be questioned by any
member ol Student Association.

Tentative Itemized Budget
1943-1944-
At this point, it looks as if the tumult and the
shouting were going to die unexpressed. T h e
Activities Budget for the college year 19-13-1944
is not one that should provoke ninth controversy. There will be the usual fault-finders, but
with a §13 tax already assured, without any
budget alteration whatsoever, their protests will
probably be only a small pan of the budgei
meeting.
A very few organizations raised their budgets:
they are for the most part activities whose
expenses have been necessarily raised by present
economic conditions. In the case ol W'AA, the
increase in feminine enrollment more than
jusiilies the money asked. In the main, how
ever, most activities are either asking lor the;
same appropriation or are lowering their items
considerably. MAA's budget explains itself. A
drop from $2,238.75 to §150 seems extreme; it
is also inevitable. Moreover, the plight ol MAA
greatly simplifies this morning's procedure.
With the present §10,824.30 budget, students
will be assessed §13 next year, and a small
surplus will be left. With very little trouble,
the budgei could be cut to allow a SI2 tax.
What the final assessment will be, will be determined by the interest, or lack ol il, of the student body. Budgetary discussions in the past
have been spirited. They have been exciting.
perhaps the confusion did not achieve the proper
result; we know it did uoi in main cases. But
its presence was far more valuable than the
passivity ihat mu\ vers casil\ llauni iiscll in

to keep sports functioning. It is
this kind of spirit that must be
maintained in these times, not only
in sports, but also in every other
activity in the college. This e x ample is best set for us by the
"Business as Usual" signs which
adorn the front of b o m b - w r e c k e d

We were very much disappointed
to hear that the r e m a n t s of I n t r a mural Council have decided that the
Softball trophy will not be a w a r d e d
to the winner of this year's softball league. Council claims that
teams contesting are to few.
A four team league may be a
small one, but w h e n there is a
handsome trophy lying around not
being used, we fail to see why it
should not be presented to the
team that emerges champion. T h e
cup will also create a greater incentive for participation and help to
keep the league organized.
The individual prizes that I n t r a mural Council has planned to give
the members of the winning team
instead of the trophy may replace
the cup as a reward. However, we
still would like to have the " B u s iness As Usual" policy mentioned
above to be mentioned in State
College sports as long as possible.

Two weeks ago we mentioned
something about the reorganization
of our gym classes. So far no
action has been taken by anyone in
authority.
Soon
we hope, t h e
spring weather will arrive and the
gym classes can be held outdoors.
However, some definite plan must
be arranged before gym classes can
prove of any value outdoors. We
would like to suggest that periods
available for gym classes be listed
in the men's locker room so that all
men can sign up for those periods
which are convenient to them.
There may be some men omitted
by this scheme, as not all may have
free periods at the designated time
for gym classes. However, we a r e
sure that it will prove an i m p r o v e ment over the lackadaisical p r o c e d u r e now in effect.
Rain Cancels Hiking;
M A N at Ball Practice
The spring season is having a litle
difficulty in getting started. About
twenty girls signed up for hiking
but the outing a r r a n g e d for last
Tuesday was cancelled on account
of rain. Leah Tischler has been
appointed captain
Softball practice was held this
week behind the Dorm, but the
teams are still unformed. An added
attraction to the n a t u r a l appeal of
the sport was contributed last Monday by Ensign Bill Dickson, U.S.N,
who joined in the game.
Dot
Townsend and Mary Now, captains,
again urge teams which wish to
participate in the tourney to submit
the names of their m e m b e r s before

This afternoon m a r k s the opening
of t h e 1943 tennis season as the
r e p r e s e n t a t i v e s from State
meet
B r o o k l y n Poly on the Ridgefield
C o u r t s . This should be a fair
opener for the Statesmen since
B r o o k l y n Poly bowed to Columbia
last week 9-0. After this contest
the team will prepare to invade
N e w York tomorrow w h e r e St.
J o h n ' s will play host.
It would appear as though only
seven m e n at State are still d e t e r mined to keep this college r e p r e sented in intercollegiate athletic
circles a n d uphold the tradition of
w i n n i n g tennis at State.
These
seven men, the only candidates for
the s i x - m a n tennis squad, are all
w h o responded to the call of H a r r y
K e n s k y , captain, coach, business
manager, and only vetertin among
the seven.
His prospective teammates now
include " D u t c h " Erbstein, "Riz"
Hansen, and four yearlings, Chillemi, Ferber, Miner, and Rand, but
more will be welcomed.
K e n s k y ' s interest and efforts have
been r e w a r d e d as far as attainment
of a schedule is concerned, b u t the
unsettled weather of the capital
area h a s opposed outdoor drilling.
Despite lack of practice, the p o t e n tial racquetteers hope to upset these
opponents.
T h e n if weather permits and
practice becomes possible, they hope
to confront RPI, Cortland, and the
others pending. The several out of
town contests should make this season a success in one sense of the
word at least.
The tennis schedule which has
been a r r a n g e d to date is:
April 30
Brooklyn Poly (home)
May 1
St. John's (away)
May 14
R. P. I. (home)
May 21
R. P. I. (away)
Two matches are also scheduled
tentatively
with
Cortland.
Softball Trophy
In Not at Stake
I n t r a m u r a l Council decided at a
recent meeting that because there
are not enough teams contesting,
the softball title of champion would
not be challenged. In accordance,
the title cup will remain with last
year's winners, the Ramblers, until
State College gets running smoothly
on a post-war schedule.
The Intramural softball trophy
has had a relatively short history,
being in existence for only three
years. SLS won the cup the first
year and the Potter Club team
claimed it the year following. Last
year the Ramblers took over.
However, softball will still be
played. Dr. Sayles has given his
approval and the field in front of
Page Hall is available from 5:30
p. in. n every day but Friday. The
only drawback is the weather.
The typical Albany wetness has
thus far retarded actual league play,
although many of the fellows have
already been practicing,
Intramural Council had asked for
umpires and to-date, eight have
signed up.
There are four teams
altogether.
Gillen and Reed, in
charge, have decided that two
rounds of six games each will be
played, with one game going on
each night,
Rivary Game Wednesday
I'hi' Freshman-Sophomore
women rivalry softball contest will be

At last the literary merits of the
women's sports staff have met with
recognition. Joan Hylind of the
sophomore sports staff has been e l ected Editor of the F r e s h m a n H a n d book. This breaks the hold which
the editorial side of the NEWS has
had on this position for m a n y years.
Joan, however, promises not to let
WAA dominate the Handbook. On
the staff, too, is Marie DeChene,
the other m e m b e r of the women's
sports staff. Congratulations to Joan!
If it wasn't that there's so little
point to adding any more water to
the atmosphere of Albany, we might
well shed a tear for WAA and its
spring sports season. Plans are all
made, captains have been chosen,
the girls are eager to participate,
but Mother N a t u r e refuses to c o operate . T h e r e hasn't been any
good w e a t h e r since spring arrived.
Only one ray of sunshine appears
and that is but a faint gleam. It
can't go on raining forever. Or
can it?
Some fair day in May, the s t u dents of State will be treated to a
unique sight. The girls in blue
and the girls in red (in other words,
the freshmen and sophomores in
their gym suits) will battle for the
enviable (?) title of "Queens of
Calisthenics".
M : ;s Johnson
announced this plan to the accompaniment of groans from the m u s c l e - b o u n d m e m b e r s of '45 and '46.
Seriously though, we think the
idea is good. As we have said in
a recent column, it is important
now, as never before, that American
women keep themselves physically
strong and healthy. Calisthenics,
with its emphasis on muscular c o ordination, is one of the best m e thods of accomplishing this result.
If the girls will support Miss J o h n son in her efforts and will take the
exhibition seriously, the idea can
be developed into something really
worthwhile. In fact, we would go
as far as suggesting that rivalry
points be awarded to the winner of
the exhibition.
T h e following is by way of a
eulogy and an inquiry. The State
College golf team (born 1942, died
1942) is m o u r n e d ; a timid plea for
five or more hackers capable of

Women Athletes Start
Golf, one of the new sports offered this spring, has begun. Practice
was held last Wednesday at 3:30 p.

the turnout, it seems that this will
be a very popular innovation
Miss
Isabelle Johnson, instructor of p h y sical education, is supervising the
sport. When the weather clears
and the ground dries, practice will
be held on the field in back of
Draper.

What is Myskania? Almost a n y one in college will give you a different answer. "It's the most p o p ular and brilliant group of students
in school," "the chosen few, chosen
by a few/' "The leaders of the College." No matter w h a t we may
think of it, Myskania is here to
stay, i t ' s e e m s . Or at least twentyseven years of existence wlouid
seem to w a r r a n t some justification
for its continuation.
T h e Day of J u d g e m e n t for Myskania is M o v i n g - U p Day. The hopes
and fears of three years are, or are
not realized, as the case may be in
a few m i n u t e s of suspense unrivaled
by a n y t h i n g else in college experience.
The crowning of a king of E n g land has scarce ly as much pomp
and ceremony as the Myskania t a p ping has. Freshmen, peering over
from their balcony heights, are initiated into the most colorful i m pressions of their college years.
The Class of '45 was the last to
taste its excitement, the Class of '46
will soon know it.
Last May when the present Myskania was tapped, the suspense was
as high as ever. One by one the
out-going Myskania descended from
the stage, arms encased in their
long black robes, circled the a u d itorium, stopped and a new Myskania m e m b e r was born.
Then
came the r e t u r n trip, this time
there were two, up the steps, and
onto the stage to receive the plaudits of the assembly. Eleven times
was this repeated, until each m e m ber of the old Myskania had tapped
his successor. But this was not
the end, excitement rose even higher as two m e m b e r s returned once
more to round out the number of
new m e m b e r s of thirteen, the full
quota alloted to the organization,
a quota that is not often filled
Then il was finished and the new
group of leaders stood before us:
Bombard, Lynch, Feeney, Maltiee,
Scovell, Slavin, Blasinr, Vanas, Barden, Leonard. Kun/., llafley and
Jones.
Yes, it's a controversial issue, is
Myskania. Even the meaning of
its name is known only to its members, according to a custom established at its inception twenty-seven
years ago.
,
You may like it or not, tomorrow a new Myskania will be chosen,
for the t w e n t y - e i g h t h time. The
scene described above will be r e peated, with different actors but the
same characteristic suspense and
excitement.
You, too, will be
caught up in it, as is everyone who
witnesses it.
"Come Watch Us Move-Up",
Say Studenfs to Faculty
The faculty have watched us
sleep in class, copy papers, read
other people' tests right under their
noses, cut classes after looking them
right in the eye not 20 minutes b e fore, spill acids, knit while they lecture, write letters instead of taking
notes, and do everything but assignments
that we young aspiring
teachers would naturally do. Now
we'd like you to watch us move up.
This is just our own way of inviting you, the 'acuity, to the Movi n g - U p ceremonies tomorrow, b e ginning at 9. A. M.
