C o u n c i l could be o n e of t h e college's most v a l u a b l e

M o s t of this could be a c c o m plished t h i s y e a r if t h e p r e s e n t council organized

T o d e c i d e w i t h o u t giving t h e council a

H o w e v e r , since t h e S t u d e n t Association is not a

Communications—
t h e m e n c o u r a g e m e n t but we a s s u r e
you, Bob, t h a t ' s all.
I n everything we've d o n e t h i s
year we h a v e tried to work for t h e
whole s t u d e n t body a n d m a k e S t a t e
t h e best college ever.
Sincerely,
Myskania.
T o t h e President of t h e Sophomore
Class.
D e a r Bob:
Myskania would like to answer
your letter of November 12 because
we feel t h a t a l t h o u g h your letter is
justified in p a r t , there are some
things you misunderstood about our
a n n o u n c e m e n t . P e r h a p s we were
a t fault for not explaining it more
clearly but you see, Bob, we a r e r e sponsible to t h e a d m i n i s t r a t i o n for
rivalry and the way in which it is
conducted. We were a n d are i n e n t
on keeping rivalry in the same swell
spirit with which it started this
Pall. Having seen Mr. Francello
with his pompadour pushed to the
rear, a n d having h e a r d on good
a u t h o r i t y w h a t both freshmen a n d
sophomores h a d planned for the
sing, we felt t h a t we h a d to impress
on both classes the seriousnes of
t h e situation,
consequently,
the
announcement.
Rivalry, if it were to stay in college, couldn't continue in t h a t spirit. We didn't w a n t anyone to get
h u r t . To resort to the old cliche
there was no point in "bolting the
barn after the horse had galloped
away," or "a stitch in time . . ."
As for the trip to the balcony, we
seniors
remember
that
in
our
f r e s h m a n year, Myskania led the
upperclassmen in a snake dance
t h r o u g h t h e a u d i t o r i u m and u p stairs. We t h o u g h t it was fun t h e n
a n d hoped it would be this time.
To t h e E d i t o r :
I n a s m u c h as t h e class of '46 was
not successful in winning rivalry i n
their freshman year, they a r e n a t urally desirous, at this last o p p o r tunity, of defeating t h e class of '47.
Because of this, it is possible t h a t
they m i g h t a t t r i b u t e a n y successes
of their adversaries to ulterior
causes. P e r h a p s in this way t h e y
conceived the belief t h a t M y s k a n i a
noticed only their misdeeds.
T h e class of '47 h a s w a n d e r e d
from t h e reasonable limits of r i v a l ry. I t Is my most earnest desire
t h a t all class competition be c a r r i e d
on in a s p o r t s m a n - l i k e a n d goodn a t u r e d m a n n e r . If carried on correctly, rivalry can greatly s t i m u l a t e
.school spirit. Therefore, I a m a s k ing t h e overly-enthusiastic m e m b e r s
of the freshman class to hold t h e i r
activities
within
the
recognized
.standards set by Myskania.
This year, as in the past, rivalry
will be won by the more efficient
a n d more capable class. We of '47
are confident in our capability. We
will t r i u m p h .
Sincerely,
Joseph Francello, '47.
Senior.

We feel discriminated against. Two
weeks ago, in t h e throes of those difficulties known only to AD directors,
we asked for permission to use some
room in Sayles Hall for a much
needed play rehearsal. Despite the
presence of a Sayles resident in t h e
cast, t h e request was refused on the
g r o u n d s t h a t a play was not Sayles
Hall business. T h e new policy conc e r n i n g t h e use of the Dorm's rooms
was that, they were to be used exclusively for Dorm business a n d the
activities of (he resident boardpayers.
We do not wish to criticize this
policy, t h o u g h we do have a vague
recollection of a Brubncher Memorial Lounge fund a few years back:
said lounge lo be for student activities.
We merely wisli lo inquire if the
SCA general meeting and vie party
last Friday in the Ingle Room and
t h e WAA badminton in the Sayles
gym a r e consistent with the a n n o u n c e d policy?
Vic Committee I'I libs Dub
While still in a questioning mood
we should like to know what's wrong
with the Vic Commilee? The vie
in the C o m m o n s is supposed to be
played by t h e members of I lie comm i t t e e ; the ideal system being t h a t
e a c h m e m b e r have a definite day
to mind the t u r n - t a b l e . If the personnel is scattered over the various
g r o u p houses, a n d the platter m a e s tros are public spirited little things.
they will bring over a few records
on their day to conduct and t h u s
give a litle sorely-needed variety to
t h e daily recitals.
If one person were to run the
thing, the half hour could be divided fairly evenly twixt swing a n d
s c h m a l t z instead of the predominately jive sessions the jitterbugs
offer us. After all, we must consider
the romantic as well as the energetic t e m p e r a m e n t s .
T h e above system h a s worked very
well in the past with an all-male
cast—is t h e feminine mind incapable
of such relentless logic?
Football Over
T h e IM football league has rolled
up its yard markers, deflated the
bails a n d called it a season.
T h e league wasn't too good this
year. Men were scarce a n d talent
even scarcer. T h e Services clipped
some of the key men just as things
were getting started. Labs, jobs a n d
c o m m u t i n g troubles, made it difficult
to get all the lads assembled between
t h e sidelines of a 'two h a n d s on
the r e a r " session.
Nevertheless, a number of I he
more virile element had a lot of
fun kicking the daylights mil of
e a c h other and Irving to catch H a m mond.
So far as the outcome ol Hie loop
is concerned, Ihe Ramblers won,
being undefeated. T h e Sheiks came
in last, having failed to crash Hie
victory column. T h e Falcons always
won from the s h e i k s and always
lost to t h e Ramblers, which puts
them right smack in the middle of
the trio.

So, here we a r e finishing u p t h e
season again. As we look back, It
a p p e a r s very similar to previous
a u t u m n seasons, with t h e spectacular exception of t h e women's i n t r a m u r a l football league.
T h e league seems to be progressing
healthily, as befits a n e w - b o r n , s p o n taneously combusted organization.
F r o m our observations of the c o n dition of the m e m b e r s of t h e t e a m s
on t h e day following t h e g a m e , h o w ever, the physical frailities of t h e
players would indicate a n u n c e r t a i n
future.
We sincerely hope t h a t t h e Sirens
a n d t h e S c r a m b l e r s h a v e not found
the painful after-effects too discouraging to p e r m i t f u r t h e r p r o gress in league competition.
T h e least they m i g h t have done,
we feel, was inhibit t h e i r cxpreslons of tori tire. Those yelps of pain
as they negotiated t h e stairs a n d
at t h e end of classes w h e n stiffened
limbs were s t r a i g h t e n e d out were
exceedingly bad p r o p a g a n d a .
It is an encouraging sign t h a t
Psi G a m m a was not swayed by t h e
m o a n s of the league pioneers into
giving up plans for a t e a m s u m m a r ily.
By way of e n c o u r a g e m e n t let us
remind the stiffened ones t h a t t h e
effects are purely t e m p o r a r y , a mere
m a t t e r of days. After t h e second
game you will probably feel nary a
twinge.
Anyway, our aim is a t e a m from
every group house. We frankly don't
expect to fulfill it. B u t , if it is any
inducement, we promise to report
the games in as tactful a m a n n e r
as is possible, eschewing
such
phrases as, for instance, "Mazie
Glub, 150 lb. fullback."
S u c h unaccustomed m a s s p a r t i c i pation in the field of physical exercise deserves to be h a n d l e d with

ALBANY, NEW YORK, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1943
91 State Street
The third annual Campus Chest
Drive will get underway Wednesday
and extend through December 17,
with Marguerite Bostwick, '45, as
Chairman. The $500 goal which has
been set can be attained if each
student contributes 50 cents or more.
In other colleges it is customary to
request one dollar from each student.
However, since the "Big Ten" is already receiving money for the war
effort from members of the College,
the minimum student contribution
for Campus Chest has been kept
at 50 cents as in previous years.
Group Houses, Commuters
The president of each group house
will be in charge of the drive for
that respective group, several students in the house acting as assistants. To reach the commuters, approximately thirty of the students
who commute will contact their own
group for contributions.
Inasmuch as the faculty is reached
by the Albany Community Chest,
they will not be solicited by Campus
Chest, but a form letter will be sent
to them.
There will be competition between
Sayles and Pierce Halls, and any
group house which achieves a 100%
contribution will have its name
placed on an Honor Roll. All departmental clubs, religious organizations, and sororities will be asked
for donations as well as the four
classes of the student body.
Miss Bostwick is assisted by the
following Juniors: Leah Tischler,
Publicity; Margaret Dee, Faculty
Letters; Jean Winyall, Group Contributions; Mary Now, Progress of
Campaign.
The total amount received in the
drive will be given to the National
War Chest which in turn will apportion the money among various organizations such as Infantile Paralysis, Tuberculosis. Greek, Chinese,
and Russian relief, and Bundles for
Britain,
Last year's Campus Chest goal was
also $500, but the returns failed to
attain more than the $325 mark, in
spite of tin; tremendous increase in
war needs.
Mis Bostwick emphasizes, "Those
students who contribute to the Campus Chest will not be solicited by
any outside organization.
Fifty
cents Is a relatively small amount,
for if each student were asked to
contribute to every organization,
the amount spent would greatly exceed what Campus Chest is requesting this year."
Assisting Miss Bostwick on the
central committee are Eunice Baird,
Ada Snyder, and Patricia Latimer,
Seniors, and Barbara Put nam, '45.
Dr. Ellen C. Stokes, Dean of Women,
is faculty adviser.
Sophomores Plan
Auction-Dance
As a pre-holiday social event, and
contribution to the war effort, the
Class of 1946 will present an AuctionDance on Saturday, December 11,
at 8 P.M. in the Commons. General
auctioning will begin at 9 P.M.
This affair is the first of (.lie two
major war projects which the Sophomores are conducting for the United
War Effort as outlined in Rivalry
Rules, Section C.
This year, for the first time, ten
rivalry points will be awarded to the
class which is most successful in its
United War Effort. Judges will determine the winner on the basis of
interest, class participation and
proceeds.
Objects of interest and value to
the student body will be auctioned.
Included in the auction will be such
items as clothes, jewelry, pictures,
books, and articles from the Co-op.
The main attraction, however, will
be the auction of men for dancing.
Fifteen men will lend themselves to
the women of State for an hour of
dancing at a price ranging from one
cent up. General auctioning will
begin at 9 P.M. There will be a $25
War Bond given away, along with
dancing, booths, and refreshments as
additional features, Helen Slack, as
auctioneer, will supervise bidding for
men and miscellaneous objects.

Speaks
Before Assembly
Speech W i l l Launch
Campus Chest Drive
Alexandra Feldmahn, Assistant
Executive Secretary of the World
Student Service Fund, will speak
today in Assembly. Her purpose
here this morning is to point out to
the students the possibility of coordinating college fund-raising activities with the united national
drives. Her speech today is the introduction to the official opening
of the Campus Chest Drive which
begins Wednesday.
Miss Feldmahn, a Russian, came
from Russia about three years ago
at which time she enrolled as a
Junior in Pembroke College, graduating in 1942. She here received
the Student Government Association
award for the girl making the most
outstanding contribution to the life
of the college.
Before coming to America, Miss
Feldmahn attended the American
College of Sofia for two years. Her
varied experiences in college life
make her unusually well-fitted to
talk to a group of college students
while her life in war-torn Europe
enables her to understand student
problems in war-time.
The World Student Service Fund
writes of Miss Feldmahn: "Her fine,
strong and unselfish sense of values,
her organizational ability and her
experience and gift as a speaker fit
her exceptionally well to interpret
to American students the cause of
World Student Relief."
After Miss Feldmahn's speech, the
business of the meeting will take
place. The proposed two amendments introduced two weeks ago will
be voted upon. The one amendment
concerns changing the Board of
Audit and Control back to the old
name, the Finance Board, and the
second provides for an appropriation
of $10 to be used in buying linoleum
to be placed beneath the coke
machine.

Debate Council held its first open
meeting In the Lounge yesterday at
4:30 P.M. Geraldlne Merhol'f, '44,

Debate seminars will be conducted
weekly until the beginning of second

The Council has tentatively planned debates between various college
organizations to he held regularly.
Sorority debates may also become
part of Hie program.
In former years, Debate Council
made trips to Colgate, Syracuse,
Vermont, and other colleges in the
stale. However, transportation facllliles prevent debate trips outside
of the Albany, Schenectady, or Troy

nearby colleges will offer ample opportunity lor State debaters to hold

War Activties
War Activities Council is now organizing the various groups in which
students enrolled on or before Nov.
12. Although sewing or knitting cannot be carried on at present, the
Council will have substitutes for
them so that every student may participate in some war work.
There is also an urgent need for
office workers at the Russian War
Relief headquarters. Those people
interested in either Surgical Dressings or R.W.R. should consult the
bulletin board outside the Dean of
Women's office for directions. They
should lot War Council know about
this outside work in order that a
record may be kept.
Plans have been made by War
Activities Council for the State Fair
—the first of the Big Ten for the
new year. All group houses have
been notified so that work may begin
soon. Any group on campus which
is not included in the houses may
also participate, should they so
desire.
The State Fair was inaugurated
last year, and proved to be a success.
Each group house took part in the
event by having a concession. This
provided a great deal of fun for
everyone, in addition to securing
funds for War Activities Council.
The sorority rushing season will
reach its climax with Buffet Supper
tonight from 6 P.M. to 9 P.M. and
Formal Dinner tomorrow evening
from 7 P.M. to 11:30 P.M.
Formal invitations to these affairs
were sent out on the Monday preceding Thanksgiving vacation. The
190 Invitations sent out were distributed among 120 girls.
Frosh To Be Escorted
According to information released
by Helen Brucker, '44, President of
Inter-Sorority Council, the Buffet
Supper and Formal Dinner will
follow the same procedure as last
year. Sorority girls will call for
freshmen for Formal Dinner, and

Whither To Go: P. O. or Commons?
Debate On Culture Will Decide
by Joan Borbrich
"Tomorrow and tomorrow and
tomorrow . . . . "
Shakespeare.
Yesterday it was Rome and before
that Greece! Where is the Golden
Age ol today and tomorrow? With
the passing of centuries, the center
of culture has darted from one
nation to another with amazing
rapidity. Several hundred years ago,
this sparkling gem this progressive
and brilliant metropolis—was lost to
the world. It has remained in hiding. Philosophers, doctors, artists,
poets, writers—all have pondered,
argued, and given their views. And
now, finally, it is to be settled!
The P.O. us, the Oommonn an the
Center of Culture will bo dismissed,
argued and fought over In a mock
debate to be held next Thursday
night, at 7:30 P.M. in Room 20.
Sunna Cooper, "Kippy" Marsh, and
Bert Kiley will uphold the honor of
the P.O. with Kiley up for rebuttal
while the Commons will be defend-
ed by Elaine Drooz, Lucille Kenney,
and Rhona Ryan Miss Ryan opposing Kiley as rebuttal speaker.
Will it be safe to enter Room 20
on that fatal night? Well, enter at
your own risk! Anything can happen . . .
Of course, there are good arguments on both sides. The Commons,
in its throe staunch followers, will
be represented by the Music Council,
the Ped and the Primer some of
the most cultural activities In State
but then the P.O. is peopled with
the world of tomorrow's ethereal
poets and "stream of consciousness"
writers! (In fact, as any P.O. fan
will tell you, all the worthwhile
writing of the past decade or so
has flowed from the mighty portals
of what is now known us the P.O.!)
But there! Awuy with all suppositious and fearful hopes, The
time has come when all will be
made clear. Thursday night the
new center of culture will makes Its
official debut!
