Rivalry Basketball Athletic Doings KD, Psi Gammas Triumph
The freshman class, last Friday
defeated their arch-rivals, the Sophs, For States Men
Morelanders, BetaZeta
34-31, in one of the cleanest-played,
most exciting games seen this year.
It was the kind of a game that was a
pleasure to watch. The shrieks of
delight and horror that alternated
between the two sides of the floor
were the best indication of the way
the scoring took place.
Neither team ever had a substantial lead. The frosh guards were
amazing at times. Time after time,
their interceptions broke up the Soph
attack and they even managed to
disrupt the usually perfect passwork of Slack and Shoup.
Baker Scores 18 Points
Gloria Baker scored 18 of the 34
points for her team. Fran McCormack, streaking across the floor at a
terrific pace, was the frosh playmaker. Gloria Russo played a steady
game. Despite their lack of practice together, the '47 team was well
coordinated and fast.
The Sophomore team was not entirely passive while the frosh overcame them. Groden, Straub and
Dunn made a valiant effort to hold
down the irrepressible Baker and her
cohorts.
Slack was high-scorer for '46, with
15 points. Seymour and Shoup played well, Herlihy did a very good job
in forward position for the few minutes she was in.
The three rivalry points will be
obtained by the team who is victorious in two out of the three games
played.
Gette Dunn, captain of the Soph
team promises quick revenge, but
the freshmen plan to thwart such
action by taking the next game to
make it a clean sweep for '47.

Now that the faculty has a Student Tax, or, more properly, a
Faculty Tax, we can expect scenes
like the following:
A man wearing a grey suit enters
the office. He walks up to the counter and says, "Is Dr. Nelson in?" A
woman answers, "Yes, but he's busy.
Won't you sit down a moment?" The
man sits down on a leather-covered
settee. He removes a three by five
card from his pocket and nervously
twists it in his hand. A close observer might see the name "Brainwell" upon the card and the legend,
"Do not fail to keep this appointment."
A secretary says, "You may go in
now, Dr. Brainwell." The man rises,
hesitates a moment, then with something reminiscent of Sidney Carton,
walks manfully into the sanctum.
The Dean is working efficiently at
his desk; from time to time he makes
a calculation on a slide rule. He
does not notice the man standing
diffidently before him. The Dean
looks up. "Sit down, Brainwell," he
says.
Brainwell sits. "About those cuts,
Dr. Nelson—" he begins. "No, we'll
take care of them later," the Dean
says. "This matter is even more
important than that. You haven't
bought your Faculty Tax."
"Yes, well, uh, you see—I was
going to buy it last month, but the
payment of my Buick was clue and
I—"
"Now see here, Brainwell—you
have your obligations to your fellow
faculty members. Why don't you get
a little job somewhere if you or
your family can't afford to pay your
way through here. Unless you pay
your tax, we won't let you be in the
faculty skit this year."
"Oh, no, not that, anything but
that."
"I'm sorry, Brainwell, but in these
times we cannot tolerate any shirking. Come, no dough, no show."

GREETINGS
You, to whom State has been entrusted

voluntarily
or
not, to warm our hands around another
flame, the
more sanguine one of battle, State stands as a symbol
of that which ive left behind and to which we desire

You, the present

of that symbol, and
in your hands lies the poivcr not lo make the "beacon"

the discussion about t h e soldier vote in national elections I hereby suggest that t h e soldier vole be extended
in the present, political crisis. A qucstionuire would
read as follows: 1. Do you t h i n k Myskania should be
thrown out? 2. Do you t h i n k t h a t S t u d e n t Council
should be thrown out? 3. Do you think Ihc Studeiii
Association should be t h r o w n o u t ? 4. in that case
who would you be in favor of a s d i c t a t o r ?

For February Frosh
Sorority presidents placed preference lists for February freshmen
in t h e Dean of Women's office yesterday. Each sorority is allowed two
ol these freshmen in addition to
fifteen m e m b e r s from each regular
class.
R u s h i n g rules have been inforced
during this period but they were
modified since no rushing period
existed such as l h e one which extended from last Seplember through
December. Each sorority was allowed one occasion on which a freshman might visit t h e house. These
included informal visits or dinner
engagements. T h e time allotted for
these affairs was not restricted.
F r e s h m e n will place their preferences with the Dean of Women
