Frosh to Be Welcomed
In Today's Assembly
Dr. John M. Sayles, President of
the College, will officially welcome
the Class of 1948 to State in this
morning's assembly. In his address
to the student body as a whole, he
will speak on the plans for the postwar improvement in the College.
Last year, an appropriation was set
aside for an extension of State's
facilities. The appropriation allowed for plans for a proposed commercial education building, a new administration building, and extension
of the library facilities.
In his talk, Dr. Sayles will also
discuss the possibilities of constructing a Student Union on the campus.
Florence Garfall, '45, President of
Student Association, will conduct the
meeting. She will extend a welcome
to the frosh to State in behalf of
Student Association and will introduce Myskania to the student body.
For the first time, Student Council
members will be seated on stage and
introduced to the assembly. This is
the result of a drive begun last year
to make Student Council more prominent in student activities.
Committees Announced
Several committees will be announced. They are, Vic Committee:
Mary Nolan, '46; Philip Lashinsky,
Gloria Brecklin and Carol Berg,
Sophomores; Used Book Exchange:
Marion Munzer, '45, Chairman,
assisted by Alma Barna, Betty Diamond, Flora Conca, Genevieve Sabatini, Juniors, and Gloria Russo and
Alice Knapp, Sophomores. In charge
of the mimeograph machine: Eleanor
O'Brien, '46; Assembly pianist:
Muriel Navy, '46; Activities Day Program: Dulcie Gale, '45, General
Chairman, Dorothea Smith, '45, Arrangements, Entertainment, Josephine Simon, '45, Chairman, assisted by
Silvia Trop, Mary Lou Casey, Juniors,
and Ellen Maloney, '47; Pep Rally,
Genevieve Sabatini, '46, Betty Brennon and Mary Carey, '47; Bon Fire,
Robert Sullivan, '46, and Robert,
Dickinson, '47; Publicity, Sunna
Cooper, '45, and Kathryn Kendall,
'46.
Miss Garfall requests that all
students be in the assembly on time.
At 11:10, the Marshals will close the
doors and Myskania will march on
stage. No one will be admitted after
the doors are closed. Last year a
great deal of confusion was caused
by students getting to their seats
after assembly had begun. Often,
assemblies were late in getting started and in getting out because of this.
"If everyone makes an attempt to
be in their seats on time," said Miss
Garfall, "we can begin and end on
time."
S C A Church Receptions
Welcome ' 4 8 Tonight
To introduce the Class of '48 to
the various churches in Albany and
to aid them in choosing one for
their own attendance, Student
Christian Association has invited
the churches to give individual receptions tonight at 8:00 P. M.
Freshmen who attend may visit
the church of their choice, or make
It a round robin affair by spending
a half-an-hour or so at several.
At all the receptions, entertainment
in the form of games and dancing
will be provided.
The following churches will definitely hold receptions: Madison
Avenue Baptist, Trinity Methodist,
and Calvary Methodist. The reception in the Calvary Methodist will
be held next to the church In the
parsonage. Other churches expected
to participate in this program will
be announced in assembly this
morning.
Everyone, regardless of denomination, Is Invited to attend. The receptions will end at approximately
11:00 P, M, hi order to allow the

This issue of the N E W S is primarily devoted to
the freshmen. T h a t is as it should be for the N E W S
reflects College life and this week is Freshman
Week. T h e upperclassmen and faculty are turning
their efforts towards making you, the freshmen, feel
a part of State. You will meet people, learn the
traditions, hear a new kind of slang and listen to
advice, asked and unasked. You will be confronted
with new ideas and ways of doing things. T o a
freshmen these new things are an influence, for
the upperclassmen aura is strong enough for the
first half year of school to throw a glamor around
themselves. Therefore, freshmen, beware of making
decisions about your college life which is a copy,
intentional or not, of your favorite upperclassman.
Watch and wait, the halo will dim in a few weeks
of the harsh light of a regular college routine.
think I'll ever forget her. She came
from a small town, and everything
was new and wonderful to her. I
was enthusiastic about everything,
too, but it was being with Phyllis
that made all our new experiences
seem more enjoyable and wondrous.
There was an Alice-In-Wonderland
look about her and every new adventure was as important to us as discovering Mexico must have been to
Cortez.
She tried out for Dramatics and I
fooled around with Debate. Conscientious was the word: every big
event that took place also took Phyl
down to the Dramatics office and
she spent the best days of her life
writing out invitations to faculty
members and other bigwigs.
One thing that Phyllis wanted
more than anyone else in our gang
was to teach. We wanted to teach,
but we didn't have any of that fervor instilled in us that she did.
Besides, we had three years to think
it over, so why cross a bridge before
we come to it. But not Phyllis—she
was hanging around the P.T.'s to
hear what they had to say. A crazy
kid, she was, but we loved her.
I hate to use the word sweet. It
makes me think of a super-activated
goody-goody, which is what Phyllis
definitely was not. But her temper ment was so evenly paced that it reminded me of a cool unruffled Jabot.
She was always so sweet to everybody
and yet you knew you could dunk
her under the shower with her
clothes on and she'd take it like a
sport. That's why we felt so bad
when luck just didn't happen to fall
her way.
It all started in second semester
when her Dad got sick and lost his
job. Her folks wanted to take her
out of school, but she wrote and told
them she was pretty sure she could
get outside jobs up at school and
still manage to keep her marks up.
Finally they agreed.

STATE COLLEGE NEWS, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1944
PAGE 4
Jftfltied.
by Joan Hylind
Down through the history of the
Sports department it has been a
standard policy for the new editor
to spend his or her first column
analizing the talents athletic of the
incoming frosh and predicting the
future of WAA and MAA accordingly. And as each of the aforementioned editors has done, we are
about to issue a glowing report.
Yes, Football
From accounts we've heard, the
future looks good—to be conservative. When there is hope for an
all-man Rivalry football game we'd
venture to say that things are looking up. The last time such an event
took place was in '42. Most of the
boys who gave their all that day
are now giving their all on another,
different, field of action. But before we digress too far, we want to
wish MAA lots of luck with their
football plans; and the various local
draft boards. Our motive is slightly
ulterior, we must confess. . . The
more MAA does, the better we like
it.
About WAA
From where we sit, this looks like
WAA's year. They have excellent
leadership, a full schedule, and,
certainly, plenty of material with
which to work. We hear that two
of the frosh have played softball
with a professional league team.
Much interest was shown in the
sport last year. Now with this added incentive we are expecting great
things.
It even begins to looks as if Garfall will have to do some stepping
this year to k eep the tennis trophy.
There finally is some competition
lined up. For the benefit of the
"uninitiated" and those with short
memories, Flo won the tournament
when she was a frosh. Since then
the weather and the Albany Park
Dep't have conspired to end the
season before the tournament could
be. We're keeping our typewriters
crossed for this year.
Suggestion of the Week
And, by the way, sport fans, these
tennis matches make really worthwhile watching. We'd like to put in
a plug for better attendance. You
can see a good game, enjoy the
senic beauty of Washington Park,
and get your daily quota of Vitamin
D via direct contact, all in one
afternoon. Here's hoping that the
captains will publish the times of
matches. It will give us a chance
to check up on the effectiveness of
our advertising.
Now for the usual word to the
frosh. Ever since you arrived you've
been handed all brands of advice.
It's an upperclassman's privilege.
You're probably immune by now but
here are some bits of wisdom we
hope you will at least consider. A
teacher to be successful must develop a well-rounded personality.
Your studies are important—don't
neglect them—but anyone who devotes all her time to study is missing out on an important part of
college life. She loses out as far
as forming friendships and keeping
in touch with the outside world is
concerned. The rude awakening
comes when the young teacher finds
herself totally out of sympathy with
the interests of her students. She
finds no common ground on which
to meet them.
This build-up is leading to an
appeal to the frosh to be active in
sports. We find no better method
for keeping fit, working off excess
energy and forming valuable friendships. In high school, it seems that
only the athletic super-women are
considered and encouraged. The
honor of Podunk High is continually
at stake. Here at State, however,
everyone who likes a sport is urged
to come out and have .some fun.
There are opportunities for the
"average" player.
Help
As we look about the Newr office,
we are cheered by the cleanliness,
the cosy atmosphere, the quantities
of space. The only thing that worries us a little is the absence of
people. The Sports Corner seems
particularly empty. Frankly, we
miss the happy throng and would
greatly appreciate the presence of
any new and interesting faces, In
short, if anyone would care to try
out for the sport's department, we
would love to have them—The only
requirement being a knowledge of
the English language. A slight interest in sports would naturally be
appropriate,
Intra-Mural Football Loop
Charted For This Year
Rumors of Football Circulate
As State Rediscovers Atari
"We have men again!"
"Football? Real football? Not
just the Serabian kind?"
"Ah, yes. 1944 has brought
thirty-three more members of
that rare species "men" to State,
the "co-ed" home of females, and
with them came rumors of football and Intercollegiate basketball games to thrill the hearts of
all good Statesmen.
Rumor also says that Kaufman
and Dickinson are getting together, with Hess, men's sports
reporter listening in. , . And that
basketball games among the
stronger sex may yet become a
part of rivalry this year.
But the wise will wait and
hope, before singing a prayer of
thanks. . . .
Frosh Campers
Rugged But Right
— McGRATH and JOHNSTON —
Amidst flying balls, the crack of
bats, creaking bones, and general
confusion, the class of '48 was off
to a flying start. Not only are they
super-athletic, agile and spirited,
but our newest additions took all
that frosh week-end had to offer—
and came back for more.
In true sport's page style, the
events were both hard-fought and
hotly contested! See, you can tell
Kiley's gone.) Out of the kindness
of our hearts we feel it our duty
to warn the Green Gremlins that
they are in for some pretty stiff
competition.
Humors, rumors
Action on the baseball diamond
was fast and furious. The hitting
was surprisingly good although the
fielding will probably improve in
time. There were even two professionals to lead the way. Rita
Shapiro should spark-plug the frosh
attack throughout the season. Rumor has it that she is a hardened
veteran of a big city league.' This
same rumor bug neglected to divulge
the name of our other pro. However, It is not too early to predict
that with customary freshman acumen, they are probably saving her
as a secret weapon.
Mary Bess Vernoy '46 and Peg
Bostwick '45 had charge of tennis.
Prospects look exceptionally good
this year according to their glowing
reports.
Right this way, ladies
One >>f the highlights of last
week-end was a grand tour of Albany, the college, and environs—on
foot! We thought this was particularly considerate of the counsellors,
since a jaunt or two up State Street
should be sufficient to put any
freshman into the invigorated and
devil-may-care condition that is a
prerequisite to withstanding rigors
of the Johnston-Foster regime in
lower Page.
It was agreed that frosh week-end
was indeed a gay and not too painful initiation into the routine of
State. It is an experience that will
not soon be forgotten by the fortunate participants.
Men's Rivalry Game
Discussed As Feature
In his first press conference of
the year MAA director Bob Dickinson announced that there would be
intra-mural football at the college
this fall. He plans to have a four
team loop and more if humanly
possible. He stressed the fact that
the league will be open to members
of all classes and urged the freshmen to take part.
Intra-mural football has been a
fixture at State College for many
years. It can't take the place of
inter-collegiate competition, but it
does give a greater percentage of the
male students a chance to participate. As the game is played here it
is a cross between touch and tackle.
The rules state that before the ball
carrier is downed the opposing player
must have laid both hands on the
runners seat. Also, sneakers are the
only type of footwear permitted on
the field. This cuts out all chances
for cleat wounds and speeds up the
game if the ground is hard.
Art Kaufman, assistant MAA head
wants the students to support the
league by turning out in large numbers for the game. He said he didn't
care where it was, but that the sight
and sound of a cheering mass of
co-eds always seemed to spur the
players on to greater efforts.
Dickinson brought up an idea is
gaining much favor throughout the
school. That is, a soph-frosh rivalry
football game. Last year there
weren't enough soph men for such a
game and consequently the men
were unable to directly add to the
rivalry score of their classes. He
added that rivalry basketball would
be possible if the football deal goes
through.
Whatever decision is made on the
rivalry question the air will soon be
filled with footballs, cheers, groans,
et al, heralding the advent of another season of pigskin parading on
the Page Hall field. Those wishing
to sign up for the league may do so
on the MAA bulletin board by the
men's locker room.
Lockers To Be Distributed
There has been a change in the
policy for handling lockers this year.
Miss Johnston, rather than Mr.
Deyo, will be in charge of their
distribution.
Freshmen, transfer
students, and grads will be able to
get lockers about the middle of
next week.
Further notice will be posted on
the door of Miss Johnston's office.
The cooperation of the student body
is asked in keeping the newly cleaned locker rooms that way.
Four Tourneys
On MAA List
To Start Soon
By George W. Hess •
A long time ago some enterprising gent thought up the idea of
having tournaments. Times have
changed a bit, though, since lumbering giants in coats of mail went
knocking around the countryside
battering similarly clad and equally
cumbersome chums from the backs
of horses. In
these enlightened
times we are much more interested
in proving our superiority over our
fellow men with such implements
as ping-pong paddles, pool cues,
tennis racquets and bowling balls.
Last year the lack of men curtailed the tennis tourney to the extent that it was made an open affair for both sexes. However, a
man did win it. Bob Ferber trounced Flo Garfall in a wild and wooly
game. With numerous sophomore
men returning and over thirty male
frosh on hand, chances are very
good that MAA will sponsor its own
tennis round-robin. With the frosh
as an unknown factor and with Ferber not coming back, it looks like
Jim Miner will be the man to beat.
In ping-pong it was again Ferber
who romped home in front. Phil
Lashinsky gave him a terrific battle
in the finals before bowing in three
out of five games. Of last year's
contestants many have improved
their game and are already castinggreedy eyes on the championship.
Lashinsky and Dickinson now look
like the class of the competition.
Shades of Kiley
Pool last year found Art Kaufman and Three Guesses knocking
each othe" out for the title. We
finally won in a "hard fought, hotly
contested" game. A new freshman,
Bob Sorenson, shows the most promise of all the incoming cue cuties.
Bowling was neglected by MAA
mainly because no one was terribly
hopped up over it at the time. Bob
Dickinson has promised to do all he
can to promote a bowling league or
tourney if enough fellows want it.
He suggested that all those interested in competitive bowling get in
touch with him through the student mail or in person. He can
usually be found in the Commons.
The starting dates of all these
events will be published on l.his page
and will also be posted on the MAA
bulletin board.
Mary Now, president of WAA, has
announced that the fall sports program will be officially opened on
next Monday and will be in effect
until November 30. This year a full
schedule has been planned and students are urged to participate in at
least cn-e sport. All women who
have paid their student tax are automatically members of WAA and
eligible to take part in all sports.
On Tuesdays and Thursdays volley ball will be played on the Sayles
Hall field. Betty Margo and Kay
Booth are co-captains. Winnie Lulkoski and Evelyn McGowan will be
in charge of badminton.
All girls who arc interested in
archery will have an opportunity to
test their skills on the Dorm Field
every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon. Marge Worsley is captain.
Riding, that all-popular sport, will
once more be the highlight of the
fall program. Arrangements for going out to the Ranch en Saturdays
may be made through Betty Clough,
captain.
Tennis tournaments, which have
always been the main event of the
fall season, will take place again
this year. Eleanor Durbeck, Virginia
Effley and Katherine Glavin are in
charge.
This year hockey should have an
important place on the sports program as WAA is working on a r rangements for several inter-collcge
games. All hockey enthusiasts will
have an opportunity to get some
practice on the Dorm Field every
Monday, Wednesday, and Friday
afternoon. Ann Mastrangelo and
Helen Slack are co-captains.
Plans are being made for a weekend at Camp Johnston sometime in
the early fall. This will give rugged
pioneers a chance to indulge in a
whole week-end of their favorite
outdoor sports.
Next week lists will be placed on
the WAA bulletin board and all women may sign up for the sports in
which they wish to participate.
Fall Tennis Program
Due To Start Monday
Plans are being made for the fall
tennis season which is scheduled to
start Monday. Virginia Effley, '46,
Eleanor Durbeck, and Katherine
Glavin, sophomores, are in charge
of the sport.
A poster for signing up to play
tennis will be on the WAA bulletin
board soon. It is hoped that many
of the new frosh and the upperclassmen will participate in this
ever-popular sport. Games will be
played on the Washington Park
courts in preparation for the annual tennis tournament.
Have a Coca-Cola=Soldier, refresh yourself
Frosh Frolic Postponed
Due to Inclement weather, WAA's
Frosh Frolic, which was scheduled
to be held on last Wednesday, was
postponed. If the weather permits,
the afrair will take place on the
Dorm Field, tomorrow, between
2:30 and 5:00 p. m. Helen Slack and
Eileen Shoup are in charge of the
activities and they promise a full
program including plenty of refreshments! All students are invited to
attend.

Rivalry Traditions
Undergo Change;
W a r Additions
Twenty More Points
Soar Total To Seventy
One of the oldest traditions in
State College1 and the one most
conducive to school and class spirit
is the annual Soph-Frosh rivalry
This Inter-Class Contest begins on
Campus Day, October 14, and cmitinues Until Moving-Up Day, May 11.
The victorious class is awarded a
Silver cup after the Moving-Up Day
sing.
Each year some additions or
changes to rivalry rules are usually
made. This year, in accordance
with the national trend, more points
will be given for war activities than
in preceding years. Because of the
increased number of men on the
college campus, mainly supplied by
the Class of '48, some points will
be awarded lor men's sports.
Football Added
Last week it was rumored in the
NEWS that a football game might be
accepted as a part of Inter-class
rivalry. That is no longer merely
a rumor. A football game to be played by eleven selected from the Sophomore and freshman classes is up
for Monday, October 2, thus starting
rivalry earlier than on preceding
years. The following is the schedule for rivalry for 1944-45:

At present, plans are also being
laid for a men's basketball game.
This may, at a later date, be introduced into rivalry rules.
Last year the Class of '46 won
rivalry. Since then, twenty more
points have been added to the possible winnings, making a total of
almost seventy.
Because of the size of the freshman and sophomore classes, approximately two-thirds of the college
will participate in rivalry.
ALBANY, NEW YORK, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 88, 1944
D & A Holds Open Meeting Dean
To Discuss AD Funds
An open meeting of Dramatic
and Arts Council has been called
by Martha Sprenger, '45, President, to discuss the drama situation, or lack of it, at State College. The meeting will be held
Monday, at 3:30 P.M. in room
206.
All students in the college are
urged to attend this meeting, especialy those who have participated in dramatics or stagecraft,
or are interested in them, D and
A Council has at its disposal the
funds which would have ordinarily been allotted to the continuation of scheduled dramatic groups
in the regular curriculum, but
since these courses have been cancelled, some other usage is being
sought. Several suggestions have
been offered thus far, and it is
hoped that more will be brought
forth at the meeting.
The council expressed a wish
for all students to show their interest and cooperate, that dramatic entertainment be kept alive
at State College.
Debate Try-Outs
Set For Monday
As preparation for an active season, Debate Council, has called a
meeting at 3:30 P.M. next Monday
in the Debate office in the Commons
for all freshmen and upperclassmen
interested in debating. This meeting
is primarily for members of the
Class of '48 as try-outs for the freshman debating squad and the frosh
team for the rivalry debate will be
conducted at this time.
The results of try-outs and a final
meeting will be held a week from
next Monday, October 2, at which
time trial debates may be presented.
The freshman squad and rivalry debaters will also be definitely announced.
Full Schedule
Debate Council, after a momentary lull of a year or two, took an
upswing last year. They had a full
schedule including debates with
Union, St. Rose College, Syracuse,
and many others. This year, Debate
Council has planned several intercollegiate debates and will hold a
program in assembly. Last spring
the regular assembly dedicated to debating was cancelled to allow time
for an extra business meeting to
discuss the changes in Student
Council.
Jane Rooth, '45, President of Council, has announced that a new vicepresident will be elected to replace
Lucille Stitt, who did not return to
college this year. A new faculty
advisor will be chosen to fill Dr.
William Hardy's former position.
Addresses Frosh T o Be
Students Today
First Financial Motion
Up Before Assembly
Dr. Milton G. Nelson, Dean of the
College, will open assembly today
with a welcome speech to the student
body. Although it is expected that
Dr. Nelson will discuss the relationship that exists between the students
and the college, no positive information has been received from the
office, due to the dean's absence
during the first three days of this
week.
To Vote On Motion
After the speech, Student Association will vote on the Vic Committee
motion proposed last Friday by
Phillip Lashinsky, '47. In accordance
with the constitution, this motion, a
financial motion, was held for one
week before voting. The motion
states: "We move that $15 be taken
from the Surplus Fund to provide
for the upkeep of the Vic and to purchase new records." This will be
the first motion voted upon in the
year 1944-45.
Nominations Next Week
During the latter part of this week,
individual class meetings were held
to nominate persons to fill the vacant
offices left by students who did not
return to State this semester. In
Ihe Class of '45, a new Song-Leader
will be elected to replace Jean Chapman Snow. The Class of '4G is lacking a Student Council Representative, a position left open by Eleanor
Anthony. A WAA Representative to
replace Frances McCormack and a
Song-Leader to take over for Pauline
Chimera will be elected from the
present Sophomore class.
Nominations must be delivered to
Student Council by 4:30 P.M. today.
Voting for these offices will take
place next Friday in assembly.

With the mystic wonder of the
Orient still rich in her memories, Dr.
Ethel E. Ewing, new Assistant Professor of Political Science and
Economics, comes to State. Small
though she may be, Dr. Ewing has
behind her a wealth of experiences
and a treasure of knowledge of foreign countries that promises to make
her courses here at State "something
different."
Hailing from western Pennsylvania
Dr. Ewing has been on the go a good
part of her life. Muskingum College,
Ohio, grunted her a B,A. degree;
Radclyffe College In Cambridge,
Massachusetts awarded her a Masters of Arts, and some time later,
she gained her Ph.D. in Cornell University, Ithaca, for extensive work
done in the field of the Far East.
But merely studying the Far East
in American Universities was not
enough for this enthusiastic lover of
the Orient. In 1937 and '38, Dr.
Ewing travelled through many of the
lands of the "yellow folks." Those
years, before the beginning of active
animosity between Japan and the
United States, proved to be the ideal
time for such research work as Dr.
Ewing planned to do. In the actual
war areas, it was almost impossible
to travel but in all other sections,
travelling was still comparatively
safe and free.
As an eye-witness in Japanese
controlled territories and after living
in them for a while, Dr. Ewing states
what we have so often heard but
chalked up to propaganda that the
policy of ';uch controlled areas is
definitely one of stern exploitation.
Formosa, Korea, Manchuria, and
Northern China were all included in
Dr. Ewing's Far Eastern journey.
Later she went to India, Indo-China,
Siam, and Malaya.
State first met Dr. Ewing last
spring when she lectured here to
many of the history and political
science groups, Students listened
with interest to her graphic description of China and her all-expansive
knowledge of China's history. A
chronological list of the emperors of
the Chinese dynasties Is just part of
the duy's routine for this learned
scholar.
Although Dr Ewing conceals her
rare experiences beneath a quiet, unostentatious attitude, State students
are looking forward to a full year—
a year of lectures that will not be dull
because the "Prof" will not be quoting "book-lurning" but will be speaking from her own experience,
