The Critic—
by
At the performance of John Jacob
Niles last Wednesday evening, this
listener was introduced to something
new and different. Undoubtedly
this experience was shared by a
large number of the audience. These
impressions are, then, those of one
not versed in the art of folk-singing.
It is fortunate that there is a
John Jacob Niles in America. He
is one of the few students and exponents of an art that Is fast disappearing. A generation from now,
and this particular aspect of America's culture will be but a vague
memory.
The style of delivery of this folk
music by Mr. Niles is absolutely authentic. No one could listen to his
rendition of the songs without being
impressed by his unusual voice. Mr.
Niles himself called it a "male alto"
voice, emphasizing that he did not
sing falsetto. Especially remarkable
was the wide range of his voice and
the perfect control he displayed in
reaching the really high notes.
The carols, In which Mr. Niles
seemed most interested, were beauful in their simplicity. To hear his
rendition of "The Seven Joys of
Mary" Is a real experience. In terms
of audience interest, the ballads by
far were the most popular. The
Ballad of Barbary Allen, perhaps
because it Is more generally known,
was especially enjoyed. However,
in our opinion, the highlight of the
evening was his singing of "The
Hangman," which demanded all of
his artistry in the execution of its
wide range, and in conveying the
deep, simple emotion inherent in the
song.
His accompaniment on the dulcimer rounded out the strange and
beautiful charm of an evening listening to the songs and ballads of
early America.

Vitrtol
Organization of the Majority . . .
T h e metaphorisis of extra-curricular and social
activities at State is almost complete. The scholastice year of '42-'43 brought slow and barely perceptable changes—student leaders were unable to
make definite substitutions for abandoned activities.
This year the cycle is more complete; State's activities are now completely adapted to war-time demands; social affairs combine both entertainment
and patriotism. And the results to date have been
highly satisfactory.
Other social activities are organized by the sororities. These, too, are different from those of last
year, but they are still very definite and worthwhile supplements to State's outside entertainment.
These groups would succeed in rounding out the
social and extra-cirricular picture if their membership included more than 330 students. True, the
number is more than one-third of the student enrollment, but as compared with the 500 girls who
do not belong to sororities, it appears slightly unbalanced. Outside of general school events, what
provision is there for the social activities of nonsorority girls? The group houses offer somewhat
similar affairs for residents, but not all non-sorority girls live in group houses. And sorority girls,
too, participate in these. For commuters, there is
a Commuters Club. But here again, only 75 students benefit by its offerings.
-by RIIONA RYANIn those intervals of brooding,
mutterings to myself, and hasty generalization that I grace by the name
of thought, there are some continued
problems which tease my fuddled
mind. And one, oh fellow students,
is the growth in college of what I
label "intellectual fascism." Beside
the American fascist, I know of nothing more dangerous to the growth of
the admirable institution known as
the American way of life.
To me, intellectual fascism is the
fond belief that because we've had
the luck to get what is laughingly
called "higher education," and learn
some ill-assorted facts and fancies,
we're more fitted to be citizens than
those who haven't gone to college.
Without further prelude I say such
a theory is pure nonsense.
If anything about the American
tradition gives one an incoherent
sense of pride, it is the tradition of
the New England farmer who
brought the new Constitution with
him as he ploughed his field, and
memorized it, thinking meanwhile
of its implications, before he would
vote for it. Or the tradition of the
townspeople gathering together in
a tavern as the village schoolmaster
read them Tom Palne's latest pamphlet. In other words, that thoughtful consideration of national problems regardless of education or
position.
And that is as it. should be. In
America one has been rather proud
of the fact that there is no need to
go to the "right" school to get a
government position, or come from
the "right" sort of family to go into
politics, or have the "right" sort of
an accent in order to meet "people
that count." That Is something one
is supposed to have left behind in
the Old World.
Then why, I keep asking myself,
have I heard again and again in
class this year, stated in different
terms, but with the same underlying
motif, do we seem to think that a
certain number of credit hours, and
a diploma, grant us a special privilege as citizens and thinkers?
With independent students in the majority, surely there are several student leaders capable of organizing all into a group which can manage and
direct affairs just as capably as any sororal group.
In many other colleges independents have organized with very successful results.
To become a workable organization, this group
would have to have a central meeting place. However, with strong leadership and a sizeable membership, this would not be too difficult. The Commuters Club bears out this point. The club, in five
months, has accomplished several worthwhile objectives with the commuters interests at heart. And
here again an old gap in students' organizations
has been filled. Perhaps, an independent group
might use the Commuters Club as a starting point
for organization since most of the members are
non-sorority.
Such a step would complete State's progress in
extra-curricular and social activities.
It's worth
looking into, since the potential powers of an independent group are innumerable.
Non-sorority
members might do well to investigate such an organization instead of sitting back and complaining
about being pushed into the background by the Communications—

would have had the same potentialities whether we'd gone to college or
not. College has perhaps given us a
superficial knowledge in some fields
of learning, but it has no mysterious
faculty for making us superior
beings. That must come from within us.
Our faculty has been kind in not
pointing out several unassailable
facts. One, that our courses here
are a mere gleaning. We seem to
think that one semester of economics, and a few phrases like "marginal
utility" sprinkled through our conversation makes us, erga, great
minds. Or, say, in English literature we take a hasty survey course,
covering 1500 years. We are supposed to know one or two works by
each author there is room to include
in the course, almost completely skip
the great tradition of English prose,
and whoops, my dear, we know all
about English literature!
None of us knows really anything
but a few facts and some hazy
theories, and yet so many of us seem
to think we have some miraculous
right to consider ourselves "deep"
thinkers.
The mere reading of a few books,
and the memorization of certain
all-too-obvious facts gives us no
strangle-hold on common sense or
clear thinking. Too often, when
coupled with smug complacency, it
just confuses the issue. Oh, fellow
students, if we learn anything in
college let it be the divinely simple
fact that knowledge is everywhere,
tree for the taking; thai truth is
universal; that philosophy abides in
gutters and class-rooms alike.
Here in America we have believed
that each man may educate himself

credit hours or not, Let's not begin

time.
Of course there is the objection
that the music might be heard In
the library. As the vie under ordinary circumstances cannot be heard
there, and since there are many
more students in the Commons than
in ilie library on Friday afternoon,
tills argument holds little weight.
Of course, there is the added argument that there are always Servicemen wandering around the College

renewing old acquaintances. How

10:30 P.M. These discussions seek
to awaken all Americans to their
country's educational problems and
to stimulate an active interest
toward finding Its solution.
Education for Freedom, Inc., is a
non-profit organization which has
been formed by a group of American
citizens deeply concerned with the
educational situation. In the last
quarter of a century, the democratic
principle that man Is fit to govern
himself has received Its most serious
challenge. When this war is ended,
democratic peoples will have to work
with each other and with other
nations of the world to secure peace
and to advance mankind. To do this
well, a complete and thorough knowledge of modern American education is necessary.
Some of the evidence that the
problem exists is startling as reported by this non-political organization. Out of the 7,000 students
of 36 colleges questioned in the
New York Times History Test, April,
1943, 66 per cent could not name
even two of the functions of Congress; 55 per cent weren't able to
give as many as two of the specific
freedoms guaranteed to the individual in the Bill of Rights; 85 per cent
were unfamiliar with Thomas Jefferson's contribution to our history.
A high-ranking Admiral, speaking
of high school graduates says: "Of
tile 4200 freshmen wanting to enter
the Naval Reserves Officers' Training Corps who were given a carefully
prepared selective examination at
27 leading colleges, . . . 62 per cent
failed the whole test. The majority
of cases were far below passing
grade."
Education for Freedom, Inc. believes that Amer leans should seriously examine our educational system and see if It cannot be improved
so that our children may become
better fitted to make the hard
choices that the citizens of a democracy must make in the interest of
the common good.

will be held between January 24 and February 2. Two hour
examinations will be given for two hour courses and three
hour examinations for classes meeting three hours a week.
Those who have conflict examinations should consult the
bulletin board in Draper Hall for the time and place of substitute exams.
AN OPEN LETTER TO A SOLDIER
Dear Joe,
I finished your socks and mailed them off to you
yesterday. I'm sorry that your sweater didn't fit but
after all you can't learn knitting in a day and anyhow who Is going to notice that one sleeve is a couple
of inches shorter than the other? If anyone had ever
told me that in my Junior year In college I would go
Into a decline and spend my Saturday nights knitting
and going to the movies I would have
I
would have bought a parrot and cat to bring along
with me.
Your letter pretty well burned me up. Listen, Joe,
if you think I get any kick out of the things I'm doing
now, you'd better think twice. Why from the way
ycu talk you'd think that my life Is simply one unmitigated round of pleasure after another. And what
is it really? Well, let me tell you.
Next Saturday I'll go down to school and spend all
day in the cold fixing a booth for the State Pair.
Then at night me and about three other girls from
the house will go down, stay in the booth for awhile
and wander around the place till we get bored and
then go down to the corner and get a sundae. All
this and movies too is about the extent of my social
life. We play so much bridge that I'm beginning- to
look like Horatio's Last Stand. Exciting? You're
not kidding.
I get a letter from you once a week. You tell me
about how the food stinks, how far you had to march,
how you hope you'll get a furlough soon how ycu just
got your medal for marksmanshio and you end up
with a six-paragraph discussion on the gun you use.
Maybe at the end you stick a couple of xx's. Sure I
like to hear about what you are thing, but every time
I get a letter you seem to be farther away. You're a
stranger writing about things that I don't understand and can't associate with the way you could
shoot a basket or the loud shirts you used to wear or
the sweet things you used to say sometimes when we
were alone. I'm just the girl back home.
And I get dissatisf'ed. I see all the girls come back
with wedding rims and their excited talk makes me
feel out in the cold. Jane joined the Waves and she
writes about all the wonderful things she's doing.
And me—I s't home and write you a letter or study
my Spanish or get a headache wondering how anybody can put on shows without men.
The school is different. Everybody is just existing
until they pass through this period and things go back
to normal. Classes are just classes. You feel that
you could be doing so much more somewhere else.
The routine is irritating and the adjustments difficult.
So you see, Joe, I'm not having such a good time.
Many times I envy you. At least you're living.
LOVE. SALLY.
