Umpire The Game Sunday
Bert Klley
T h e soldier h u n c h e d his shoulders
a g a i n s t t h e r a i n . His toes curled
unconsciously against t h e cold d a m p ness seeping t h r o u g h his sodden
boots. I t seemed t h a t h e h a d been
forever on t h a t hill, crouching in
t h e m u d behind a wall t h a t h a d
once been a terraced farm.
The
G e r m a n s were spasmodically sending over a few shells. He would h e a r
t h e whee-ee a n d fall into t h e foxhole h e h a d dug by t h e wall. Sometimes t h e explosions pelted h i m With
mud.
T h e r e h a d n ' t been a n y shells over
for quite a while. Over to t h e right,
h e could h e a r the m o r t a r s r h y t h m ically c r u n c h i n g away. An airplane
roared low overhead. Looking up, h e
saw t h e eternal grey a n d smudgy
black of the rain clouds. Absently,
h e began to h u m . He sang softly
a n old half-forgotten tune. . . .
"Somewhere over t h e rainbow, way
up high . . ."
A glow c a m e slowly over him. T h e
muscles, tense from t h e s t r a i n a n d
cold relaxed.
" . . . there's a l a n d t h a t I d r e a m e d
of, once In a lullaby . . . "
T h e pencil of memory flicked over
h i s brain cells, back to the s u m m e r
of 1939. He was sitting in front of
his t e n t ; t h e sun was sinking behind
a row of pines to t h e west, salmon
clouds s t r e t c h i n g delicate t h r e a d s
across t h e sky; from t h e portable
radio c a m e t h e voices of Fred
W a r i n g ' s Glee Club singing . . . .
" S o m e w h e r e over t h e rainbow, bluebirds fly . . . "
Somehow t h e peace of the scene
r e a c h e d out t h r o u g h t h e chemistry
of t h e old melody reacting on his
m e m o r y . He saw a g a i n t h e lake In
t h e w a r m , almost palpable calm of
sundown, He saw the little white
triangles of the sailboats slowly
weaving far up t h e lake. He h e a r d
t h e mournful "quawk" of a flight of
herons as they swung along in the
gloom of t h e western range of hills.
1939—just before t h e war started—
a convertible purring along a country
road, t h e gang t h a t used to go on
t h e h o t dog roasts, t h e steady t h u m p
of the waves against the hull of his
speed-boat. He smiled a n d continued h u m m i n g , lost in the nostalgia
of the revery.
He
didn't
hear
the
warning
whistle. T h e explosion lore up the
wall about ten feet from him. A flying brick struck him in t h e face . . .
He lay in a hospital. His s h a t t e r e d
nose no longer pained him, but a
heavy ache in the back of his h e a d
throbbed steadily.
" T h a t lousy song—" ho thought.
"Well I suppose I c a n ' t blame It on
t h e song. I t was Just plain foolishness to be clay d r e a m i n g with J e r r y
throwing shells a t me . . . Well, I
guess t h a t ' s w h a t h a p p e n s when
you go moping around d r e a m i n g of
a jolly little past,. Maybe if I'd been
fighting then like I a m now It. would
never have got me. I guess we're
going to have to keep fighting In one
way or a n o t h e r on this pebble. I
wonder how much I could gel lor
t h a t Chris-Craft? . . ."

1944--We Hang From
W A A Reveals
Subway Straps As Snow Swirls Spring Program
Boy-o-boy, we said gleefully, as
we planned our Spring vacation in
the best s p o r t s ' page tradition. Visions of long hikes, bicycle rides,
picnics, a n d o t h e r h e a l t h y outdoor
activities danced before our eyes.
So,
bright a n d early our first
morning h o m e , we d o n n e d
our
snow-suit, e a r - m u f f s a n d fur-lined
stadium boots a n d armed with a
determined look set out to indulge
In some S p r i n g sports.
After building two r a t h e r puny
snowmen we retired to our h o t water bottles a n d lemonade for several days.
Our first a t t e m p t a t a picnic r e sulted in a dismal failure.
Our
sandwiches froze solid a n d even t h e
a n t s wisely r e m a i n e d in h i b e r n a t i o n .
However, we h a v e one a c c o m p lishment of which we a r e justly
proud. We w e n t through t h e s u b ways a t four o'clock on a S u n d a y
afternoon!! And we h a v e t h e broken bones to prove it. Recalling t h a t
New Yorkers a r e noted for their
sense of humor, we m u t t e r e d in best
Reader's Digest style, to one of t h e
13 people s t a n d i n g on our left foot,
" P a r d o n me, is my rib crushing your
elbow?" Well, maybe h e was from
New Jersey.
We h a v e not given u p all h o p e of
S p r i n g , t h o u g h . In fact, we're down
to only two sweaters u n d e r our w i n ter coat now.
Notwithstanding
our
miserable
showing we h e a r r u m o r s t h a t lots
of people were really energetic d u r ing their vacation. O n e girl played
a t r e m e n d o u s game of b a d m i n t o n .
Another person (one of t h e S p o r t s '
Dept.'s ablest members) played some
fast a n d furious card games. We
have decided after t a k i n g a careful
census t h a t the following are t h e
most popular of the S p r i n g s p o r t s :
sleeping, eating and long rides, p r e ferably in maroon convertibles, r a n k
highest in t h a t order.

In the first of the play-offs for
the basketball league c h a m p i o n s h i p
Chi Sig defeated K D , 25-11. Chi Sig
scored first a n d never lost the lead.
T h e passwork a n d g u a r d i n g of t h e
Madison Avenue squad proved the
downfall of the K D t e a m .
Chi Sig defeated Psi G a m , 29-15,
to eliminate t h e m from competition
for first place in the basketball
league.
T h e g a m e was fast a n d
rough. Chi Sig scored first a n d for
the first two q u a r t e r s the game was
all theirs. Psi G a m rallied in the
second half but it was too late to
catch the Madison Avenue squad.

KLEEN-MAID WHEAT
On A Limb, Hut F a r
In line with an old baseball c u s IIOLSUM CRACKED WHEAT
tom, we would like to present our
predictions for t h e outcome of t h e
(DELICIOUS TOASTED)
league races t h i s year.
WAA h a s recently a n n o u n c e d a
tentative p r o g r a m for t h e s p r i n g
season. Softball will undoubtedly be
t h e highlight of t h e schedule. T h i s
year, due to a s h o r t e r spring s e a son the usual league will n o t be
formed. Instead, contests will b e
held a m o n g the four classes. I n
this series t h e S o p h - F r o s h rivalry
game will be contested. Rivalry
races are scheduled for t h e W e d nesday before Moving-Up Day.
T e n n i s is next in i m p o r t a n c e o n
the p r o g r a m but will not get i n t o
full swing until sometime in t h e
middle of May w h e n t h e courts will
be opened.
Riding, the o u t s t a n d i n g feature
of last year's p r o g r a m , will once
m o r e have a n i m p o r t a n t place on
t h e spring schedule. Providing t h a t
the weather continues to be p l e a s a n t , riding classes will s t a r t on S a t urday.
Last year golf was offered a s a
new spring sport but little i n t e r e s t
was displayed. Mike Buetow h a s
been appointed c a p t a i n and is now
trying to obtain t h e use of the M u nicipal Golf course a t a reduced
r a t e or better still—free of c h a r g e !
Bike riding is being initiated as a
spring sport and is u n d e r the s u p e r vision of Helen J e n n i n g s a n d L u cille Kenny.
Archery, b a d m i n t o n , h i k i n g a n d
volley ball complete t h e sports c a l e n d a r for the coming season b u t
will not get under way until t h e
weather permits p a r t i c i p a t i o n out
of doors.

Q9
•by K I P P V MARSH
Today is Election Day. I t is commonly supposed in
history textbooks and by idealists t h a t this day is one
in which the fullest m e a n i n g of democracy is d e m o n strated. Today is the day when the Peepul go to t h e
polls willingly a n d conscientiously to place their vote
for the person whom they honestly believe is best
fitted for the office, who will in best faith carry out t h e
duties assigned to them, a n d in addition will initiate
new reforms which he believes for t h e best interests of
those he represents. T h i s is t h e d r e a m of t h e idealist.
To the realist it is n o t h i n g more t h a n t h e puny m a n i festation of a government in which 2 / 3 of the voters
never use their right of franchise, or who go to the
polls because they have been paid, to support their
party, or to coin an expression to "grind an a x e " of
their own.
This is your Election Day, S t a t e College. W h a t will
you do with it? Shall I tell you? All of you who
ordinarily would not bother to go to the polls, a p p r o x imately 50'; or you from past records, will cast a vote
this year because of the preferential ballot in Assembly.
Most of you people will cast a negative or an indifferent
vote. T h a t is, you will vote against a sorority which
you think is too strong, you will vote against an individual whom you think h a s too much power, you will
vote for a person because he is the only one you know
or against him because you can't s t a n d him personally
Not very much in your favor is it?
How about the other 50'# who have enough interest
to vote anyway? Very likely your sorority told you
t h a t you had better vote last year. You will dutifully
look clown the list and check your sorority sisters'
n a m e s as you see them. Or p e r h a p s your sorority m a d e
a deal with a n o t h e r sorority in which case t h a i person
will got your vote. If you should h a p p e n to come to an
office for which none of your sorority sisters is up,
you will vote for the person who belongs to a sorority
which is not likely to challenge the position of your
own or who might be in a position to help your
sorority out. If you belong to t h e I n d e p e n d e n t parly
your position will be much the same. It will be taken
for granted t h a t you will vote for whichever members
of I he I n d e p e n d e n t s arc up.
Pressure politics arc not u n k n o w n in S t a l e College.
It has been demonstrated in smaller bodies thai a
group of people will distribute the important offices
among themselves a n d their friends and bring influence lo bear on people whom they know to be fairly
indifferent. This h a p p e n s in sororities and in class
elections and can happen in Student Association elections. II will be a n o t h e r factor.
Perhaps in our large student body there are a few
people who believe in democracy, its inherent good and
the responsibilities which il entails. If you arc such
a one f should like lo meet you and shake your h a n d .
I shall pity you for your honest vole will be lost in I lie
muck of meaningless and dishonest ones.
I cannot entirely blame those people who are disinterested. They know in their innermost h e a r t s that
sorority and group politics has spread a web which
no one can escape and they feel thai their vole has no
meaning. But there IN meaning. Every group, no
mallei- how powerful, lakes into consideration a certain percentage which lliev cannot control or I ell in
way I heir votes will fall. For Ihis be true lo yourself and
to your ideals of democracy. Let no one dictate how
your ballot will he checked unless you are honeslly convinced that it is Hie righl way lo vole for you.
I have heard of democracy but I have never seen il.
It's A Fact
We sweated, pullet 1 our hair, and chewed on our
finger-nails . . . and still we could find no adjectives
of the quality a p p r o p r i a t e lor the high calibre of Hie

writing an editorial showing how Ihc Sophomores held
the high hand in Ihc Frnsh-Soph rivalry. After carefully considering all and sundry points, reading, and

decided Ihere was no real need for an editorial lo
