The Thirteen Again
To the Editor:
What has happened to democracy?
I am quietly going beserk from seeing the large-scale favoritism that is
going on in the sophomore class. It's
my pet peeve that in the Class of '46,
the same people are always selected
to head the committees and take
charge of its activities. Their henpecked president used to be a swell
fellow, but he's been run down to a
basic skeletal structure by a pack of
females with exhibitionistic tendencies. This pack controls the president and the class.
Now '46 has no shortage of ability

I t s e e m s that not long ago a
rousing editorial proclaimed to the world at large that
what State College needed was tolerance and in as
huge hunks as possible. Lilian got a little sick of the
word tolerance being handled about and suggested at
a bull session of "'bright young Juniors ' that maybe
a little understanding would go a long way. This provoked a lengthy discussion of the merits of understanding.
Certain notable incidents of intolerance
were brought forth such as name calling groups "d . . .
Jews," "d . . . Catholics" and "d . . . Protestants,"
Last night Lilian wrote the nightly letter to John,
her boy friend, who is in Italy. Lilian lias always
talked over everything with him and she wauled to
ask him about this. But it didn't look right when
she got it. clown on paper. What could she say? "Dear
John—Which do you think is better—tolerance or
understanding?" The words lay baldly on the paper.
Lilian stared at them long minutes before she reached
out and slowly tore the paper to bits.
We also have another letter from LI. ICil lOrwin, '37,

omen. In previous years the league
games have been sadly lacking in
good passwork.
In swift succession we get a
glimpse of Groden, Garfall
and
Straub who played on Newman
Hall's team last year and did a
bang-up job of pulling their squad
up to second place in the league.
Slackie and Gette Dunn were also
in their regular places on the basketball court. As usual, these two
sports-demons filled their positions
more than capably.
After taking a quick glance at the
veterans out for practice, we noted
that, the number is relatively small
in comparison to the representatives
of the freshman class who turned

Having considered our stars of
former teams and the new and
powerful material apparent in the
class of '47, we feel that this season
will probably be more exciting than
last when the winner
(D-B-C's
powerhouse) was known before the
league even began. With the breakup of the Delta Beta Chi's, this
year's league is much more evenly
divided, and the outcome is far
from certain. Each team has its
strong points and its individual
stars.
KD has a powerful group with
Herdman, Townsend and Sanderson in the lineup. But Chi Sig with
Garfall, Latimer and Domann, and
BZ with LaSalle and Dunn loom as
strong competition.
Newman Hall will put an experienced and capable team on the
field. O'Neil, Groden, Straub and
Maggio have all seen action.
Another strong combination Is a
so far nameless team which stars
the invincible Slack.
No team from Sayles has yet appeared and only one from Pierce is
signed up. Sanderson urges that
more representation from the dorms
be made.

"No A4oi7 For Servicemen"
Is Forum's Plaintive Cry
State Comes To Aid
OF Destitute Greece
"I haven't time to write."
"There's nothing to say."
"But he's married!"
Oh, yes, there are plenty of
excuses and alibis—plenty of
supposedly good reasons a State
girl can give for not yet writing
to the serviceman whose address
was given to her by Forum.
What is all this raving for?
Several hundred girls signed
their names on a sheet of paper,
thus pledging themselves as
college correspondents to some
former State man. They were
asked to write immediately to
keep the servicemen posted on
State news. They were asked to
make sure that the address was
correct and to keep Forum posted on changes of address.
To date, at least half of the
girls who signed up have not
written.

Sayles Holl Annex Steps Out;
Men Pool Clothes, Cor, Money
A line in the State College Directory reads "Sayles Annex, 203 Ontario Street, 2-2013," listing the lone
residence hall for men on campus.
Complete with eighteen men, a pool
table, and Bob Sullivan, house manager, Sayles Annex is the remaining
incentive for Pierce girls to hold
open houses for college men.
As even the gay young sophomores
will remember, last year's already
weakening ratio of men was scattered in KDR, Potter Club, Sayles
Hall, College House, and SLS to
mention a few. 203 (the former
SLS house) now stands alone with
approximately 40 per cent of the
State men under its roof.
For those unfortunate souls who
haven't seen the interior of the
"Modern Man's Mansion," a tour
will acquaint them with it. The
living room has in its center a large
pool table, or should it be said the
living room centers around the pool
table? Incidentally, a pool tournament open to all male students was
held this fall- so the pool table is
still in the middle of the living room,
of course. There's Jim Miner and
Al Beninati sitting on top of the
piano supervising the "eight-ball"
players.

"Happy is the day when the Annex gets its pay." At the beginning
of the year, poker was the favorite

Communistic system of share and
