PAGE 6 Brock and Hincs To Head Guides T h e office of the D e a n of Women h a s released the appointment of H e r b e r t Brock, '44, and R u t h Hines, '45, as Student Guide Co-Chairman' for 1943-44. Dr. Stokes explained that because of t h e shortage of men in the class of '45, it was necessary to select a m a n from the incoming Senior class as o n e of the chairmen. This appointment of a Senior t h e customary "Junior Guides" to necessitates the change in tile from " S t u d e n t Guides". T h e d u t y of Guides is to m e e t and escort the freshmen in their first week of college. Each Guide has three or four "freshmen sisters" or "brother" to whom they write bafore the semester begins, describing State and its extra-class activities. There will be a list posted on the bulletin board outside of the Dean of Women's office for S t u d e n t Guide volunteers to sign up. Dr. Stokes says, "More women Guides will be needed for next year. All students interested please sign as soon as possible". A quota will be selected from the list of volunteers. These students will be informed of their duties b e fore the end of the semester. Guides this year have assumed additional duties by assisting at present with freshmen interviews and escorting prospective students to the various faculty members. Senior Pictures Due May 15 Frances Bourgeois, '43, Director of the State College Press B u r e a u has announced that all Seniors must h a v e their pictures in to Press B u reau before May 15. This is necessary if the Seniors wish notices put in their h o m e town newspapers about graduation and contracts. STATE COLLEGE NEWS, FRIDAY MAY 7, 1943 S C A Office Coo/s Off After 200 Degree Heat Last S a t u r d a y the S C A - N e w m a n Hillel office was d e s t r o y e d by h o t steamer from a broken valve u n d e r the Commons. The valve broke a b o u t 4:30 A. M. S a t u r d a y morning, b u t was n o t d i s covered by the j a n i t o r s till 9 A. M. the same morning. Since the w i n dow was closed, the steam h a d very little outlet and the office h a d reached a t e m p e r a t u r e of 200 d e grees at the time of the discovery. A great p a r t of the S C A library w a s either watersoaked or b u r n e d by the steam. The walls w e r e blistered and the paint b u r n e d from the desk lops. F o r t u n a l e l v the SCA ballots were in the steel file cabinet, which was left intact. It will be necessary to refurnish and redecorate the entire office, b u t it is doubtful if this will be done till next year. Alumni Pledge Blanks Ready for Class of '43 J a n e Edmunds, '43, has a n n o u n c e d that alumni pledge cards are now available for m e m b e r s of the Senior Class. This year, because of the war. only the women are asked to pledge. These subscriptions are for the purpose of paying for the c o n s t r u c tion of Sayles Hall and the m a i n tenance of both A l u m n i Residence Halls. The usual a m o u n t r e q u e s t e d is $100, payable in full or over a period of five or ten years. For convenience, each contributor may chose her own date for payment. On Friday, May 14, at 4 P.M., the A l u m n i will give a tea for the Seniors in Farrell Mansion. The captains, whose duties a r e to distribute cards to each Senior, are Shirley Coddington, Flora M. G a s pary, Madge Sinclair, Rita Hickey and Barbara Kerlin. AD Presentation Predicated Ratio for Next Year Slated May 21 Nine Women for Every Male T h e Advanced D r a m a t i c s play, Ladies in R e t i r e m e n t , scheduled for presentation in P a g e Hall on May 21, is now in advanced stage of p r o duction. Miss A g n e s E. F u t t e r e r , Assisstant Professor of English, and director of the Percy and D e n h a m play, says "It is shaping u p very nicely." T h e east, comprised entirely of s t u d e n t s from the Advanced D r a matics class, includes such veterans as Rhona Ryan, T r e c e Aney, Lois Hampcl, Mary S t u d e b a k e r , Marjorie Breunig, and Harold A s h w o r t h . The play is essentially a m e l o d r a m a , though not of the "Curse You, J a c k D a l t o n " variety. Miss Aney plays a m u r d e r e s s , Misses S t u d e b a k e r and B r e u n i g two m a d sisters, Miss Ryan a lady who "gets around", Miss Hampel a flirt, and Mr. Ashworth a two-faced schemer. This play has been performed on Broadway and in the movies by t o p notch actors. Admission may be gained by s t u dent tax tickets. Budget Survey The S t u d e n t Association, at the Budget Session last Friday, voted to have the S t u d e n t Tux lowered to $12. This reduction is possible as a result of the $2,024.45 decrease in the 1934-44 budget, as well as the anticipated surplus. The budget was passed with little comment and no alteration. The STATE COLLEGE N E W S , D&A, WAA, Infirmary Fund, Student Council, and the F r e s h m e n H a n d book sought slight increases. The other activities all took c u t s with the exception of the Literary A n nual, Secretarial Contingent, T r e a s urer's Bond, and the Press Bureau, which kept their present status. "By J a n e H e a t h If Wednesday's showing of high school seniors applying for college is indicative of the t r e n d of n e x t year's freshman class, the ratio of women to men will be 9 to 1. O n e eighteenth of the women, we p r e dict, will submit to a vigorous glamorization p r o g r a m outlined by sophisticated roommates. Dr. C r o a s dalb will prescribe monocles for at least five per cent of the women b e fore the Veronica Lakes receive their mid-semester grades. Next year's remaining upperclassmen are expected to lose fraternity pins to at least o n e - n i n t h of the frosh women, if indeed we can predict at all. A Marine Corps Reserve m e m ber whistled and l a m e n t e d his J u n e graduation a t this p a r t i c u l a r o n e ninth. Said he, " M o v i n g - U p Day will certainly m e a n M o v i n g - O u t for me. I should like to stay for that!" Predictions for the m a n - p o w e r of the Class of '47 are not encouraging. Even worse than the position of its rival class will be the Class of '47's, according to Wednesday's survey. Shortly after their eighteenth b i r t h days, both men interviewed Wednesday expect 1A classifications and invitations from their draft boards. Since those i n t e r viewees will leave before J a n u a r y , the second semester will find the Class of '47 manless, if, of course, the showing of two d a y s ago is an accurate representation. Berton F e l d m a n of Troy and George F r a n k of Scotia were the men interviewed. With a b r u s h c u t and pocketed hands, F e l d m a n pondered the present s e t - u p of State. One hand came out of his pocket long enough to r u b his chin and pat the brush c u t when h e talked about the overflow of women. F r a n k , e m bryonic BMOC with a wide grin, slated, "The ratio? I t doesn't bother me in the least." Among the women was a trio from Nott Terrace with a long list of e x t r a - c u r r i c u l a r activities and a comfortable honor roll record. They were Eleanor Williams, Virginia Droms and Irene P r a z a k whose interests would c o m m a n d e e r the e n tile faculty's instruction and m e m bership in almost every e x t r a - c l a s s organization. J e a n n e Cavanagh was the student predicted to be the p i n - w e a r e r of next year's frosh. G K O R G E I). J K O N E Y , P r o p .

Patricia Latimer bears this outstanding distinction and will preside over the meetings of the association d u r i n g the coming year and over those of S t u d e n t Council. The a n n o u n c e m e n t of Miss L a t i mer's election was greeted by shouts and cheers of approval from the crowd of students, parents, and faculty, gathered to witness the t r a ditional Moving-Up Day ceremonies. Although Miss Latimer has been an active participant in politics d u r ing her college career, the election for the coveted presidency was closely contested and Bertram Kiley, Miss Latimer's competitor, lost out by only 40 votes in an election in which 482 votes were cast. As the u n d e r - d o g Kiley, a newcomer to politics, made a significant stand in the face of Miss Latimer's experience. This was hi.-, first campaign for a s t u d e n t association office and from the results it is evident thai the women's block was p..: i,,!:dl, backing U'.ib U . ; since Kiley emerged with a strong following.

Even in the lace of a decreased enrollment, Ibis year's election chew \H2 voters to the polls lo vote for their choice for President in comparison with til!) last year. The race for Vice-President or "Yo-yo" was an overwhelming, clear-cut victory for Harold Goldstein, who o u t r a n k e d bis nearest rival in the first voliug by HH votes. In the revote between Goldstein and Barbara P u t n a m he was elected by a majority of 1)4 voles, indicating that bis campaign was met Willi some backing by the feminine element of the college.

This election carried over into a third revote in which Evelyn Wolff outdistanced Maiie Scudder by the narrow m a r gin of lour votes. In the first voting Miss Scudder fell behind Elizabeth I.
