J 9 4 8 Primed For Sports
With Two Pro Softballers
Oh happy day I There are two
(count 'em) girls in the freshman
class that have actually played
softball before coming here. Do
you relize what that means? Do
vou comprehend the significance
of such a statement? In case you
don't, it means that the fellows
can play the females another softball game without worrying about
holding the score clown.
Last spring such a game, if a
farce like that can be called a
game, was played, and the fellows
politely walked all over the fair
critters. This year it should be
different. The score should be
around 29 to 8 instead of 30 to 8.
Now if only a couple of basketball players can be found . . .
This week we are beginning one
of a series of columns which will
feature a report on the athletic
prowess of some of the outstanding
WAA members. Our personality for
this week is Mary Now '45 President
of WAA.
This energetic and vivacious personage came to us from Poughkccpsle with a well rounded athletic
career. In high school, Mary took
an active part in all the usual athletic activities offered. Here at
State she joined the "Crimson Tide"
and proved to be an enthusiastic
and advantageous opponent in
every contest against the "Blue
Devils" (so that's how they beat
'46). In that same year, Mary was
captain of bowling and did her
share on the Psl Gam team which
won the bowling tourney. In the
spring of her sophomore year an
innovation was made in women's
sports—a soft ball league, and Mary
was co-captain of sort ball. Speaking of soft ball, her name appeared
on' the list of sophomores who
represented the "Crimson Tide" in
its triumph over the frosh on the
soft ball field.
This may seem like a heavy
schedule but our heroine found time
to successfully complete the female
aquatic course qualifying her to be
a life-saving instructor.
Hookey Enthusiast
However, Mary did not limit her
athletic ability to this one year.
Last year she came back with renewed vigor. Hockey began to intrigue her. As we browse through
the back issues of the NEWS, we hit
upon the headlines which acclaim
Now's enthusiasm for hockey at
State. She had been sent to a
hockey camp in the Poconos to
learn the latest techniques and rules
for State's fair stick-wielders.
We should not fail to mention
that this week's chosen athlete also
keeps in form during her summer
vacations. We gasped when we discovered that she ventured to take
a trip from Poughkeepsle to T r o y pedalling all of the 150 miles! !
The journey included the Berkshire
Mts forcing our fair traveler over a
pass which was .six miles high!
Professional Prowess
This past summer Mary had an
opportunity to bring her soft ball
skills to the fore. She was catcher
on a team which was In a Women's
soft ball league.
As a closing note, we feel that we
can safely predict a successful year
for WAA under the capable leadership of Mary Now.
Tennis Tournament
The annual WAA tennis tournament will gel under way next Monday. Flo Garfall, '45, has been the
defending champion since the Fall
of 1041,

Athletic Head
Several changes in the set-up of
MAA's executive control have taken
place this week. Monday, Robert
Dickinson enlisted in the navy, vacating the post of MAA Director.
To fill this vacancy, Arthur Kaufman was promoted from assistant
director to director. To complete
the circle Kaufman
appointed
George Hess to the assistant director's spot. Kaufman announced
that nn changes were to be made
in the athletic program and that
all sports would go ahead as
planned. This means that the football league will attempt to complete
its schedule and that there will be
basketball of some kind during the
winter.
Last year Peg Bostwick, '45, was
elected to the post of vice-president
of WAA. Miss Bostwick was also,
elected to the presidency of Newman Club which is a major office.
Under the major-minor office plan
no person can hold a major and
minor office at the same time. This
meant that Bostwick must give up
one or the other of her two positions. She gave up the vice-presidency of WAA, leaving that office
vacant.
As a result WAA is holding an
election next Monday and Tuesday
to fill the vacancy. The voting will
take place in the lower hall of
Draper from 9:00 to 12:00. In order to be eligible to vote each girl
must have a years credit in at
least one sport. This is business
held over from last year, the freshmen will not be allowed to vote.
The girls up for election are Mary

Association To Vote
To Fill Vacant Offices
Dr. Ellen C. Stokes, Dean of Women, will be the principal speaker
in this morning's assembly on
"Tomorrow — and You." She will
elaborate on the duties that the
students at State have during war
time and on the fact that they need
not be members of the armed services to fulfill their part in the war
effort.
Voting for students to fill offir.es
left vacant this year by non-returning students will also be a part of
the morning's business. The Class
of '47 lacks a song leader and a
WAA representative; '46, a representative to Student Council; '45, a
song leader and a representative to
Music Council from Student Association.
Nora Crumm and Josephine Simon
were nominated for song leaders
from the Senior class. Nominees for
representative to Music Council are
Miss Crumm and Jean Offhouse.
These nominations for Student
Council representative from the Class
of '46 were made: Patricia Peehan,
Jean Groden, Elizabeth Harper,
James Miner, Jean Whitney, and
Marjorie Worsley.
At a Sophomore class meeting last
week the following nominations were
made:
Song Leader: Mary Telian, Audrey
Cox, and Dorothy Silvernail.
WAA Representative: Jean Davidson, Edna Sweeney, Ann Mastrangelo, Jane Mills, Gloria Russo, Martha
Dunlay.
For the benefit of those who have
never voted before in assembly, the
procedure is as follows:
(1) One ballot shall be distributed
to each student.
(2) Tables arranged by classes where
each student may cast his ballot
shall be designated by the President of Student Association.
(3) After marking his ballot, each
student will go to his designated
table.
I4I No one shall be permitted to cast
his vote unless he has paid his
student tax, and, In the case of
class elections, paid his class
dues.
(5) The student shall then place the
ballot In a designated ballot box
after it has been stamped and
after the student has been given
permission to do so by a member
of Myskania.
(6) The student shall then leave the
assembly' and will not be permitted to reenter.

The sorors had given themselves
up to sweet repose — sable night
reigned — the stillness was profound — et tout cela. Suddenly
there came a burst of light akin
to the aurora borealis or what
have you. The light came to rest
on the sleeping countenance of
one of the inmates. In answer to
a gently intoned, "Who is
there?" came a squeeking falsetto
insisting "It's Jane who always
comes in late." Enter chaos —
after all, there's no Jane in the

Upstairs, downstairs, pitter, patter, hi-diddle-diddle, avast mates

Activities Galore Will Flourish
"Sign up here for the FOBs!"
"By fixing your signature on this
line, you too can be a Myskania

Mid the hub-bub of chattering
chairmen and rushing rogues, the
frosh will withstand the pulling and
hauling bestowed upon them by
publicity agents of every organization State has ever seen, and end up
with their names on more papers
than they'll ever remember. And so,
Activities Day is launched.
Activities Day is, for the benefit
of the frosh, — well, it's a day of
activity. It all begins at 2 P.M. on
October 7 when frosh will sign up
for the vari. us precarious organizations they are interested in, and
some they aren't, in the Commons.
As usual, the last sparks of rapidly
dying organizations will flit desperately around trying to light on
some obvious frosh, but as usual, the
latter will be scooped up by the long
spoon-like arms of the flashes of
the year and dipped gently, but
firmly, into the boiling blood of their
activities.
Raggeld and befuddled by now,
the frosh will see the banner ceremony for the first time (upperclassmen for the second). They'll even
hear "Slackie" give a speech. It's
unpredictable what message the
whims and witticisms of the Junior
President will convey, but we do
know that the freshman banner will
pass from her protecting hands to
those of the frosh. Not to be out
done by the Juniors, Flo Oarfall will
unroll the Senior banner in true
WAA style.
But the day has only begun!
There'll be singing and dancing and
a slight intermission In which
students may attend to such business as laundry, room-cleaning and
eating. (Oh, yeah!)

Dean Restrains
Informal Rivalry
To Insure Safety
"Rough-neck" Stunts
Are Put O n Blacklist
Culminating many months of unrestricted and unrestrained informal rivalry, Dr. Ellen C. Stokes,
Dean of Women, announced this
week that all unorganized rivalry
will be henceforth prohibited. According to Dean Stokes, however,
the term "rivalry" has been misused and miscontrued to pertain to
rough-neck activities in the group
houses. "Rivalry," as Dr. Stokes
defines it, "will continue as usual.
That is, such things as ordering
freshmen to use back stairs, taking
out mail, greasing door knobs, and
the like will be allowed. There will
be no upsetting of rooms or dunking
of students in showers or other
such pranks which may result in
injury to students or destruction of
property."
In the evening by the light of the
Bonfire, there'll be cheers, sneers
and songs as State does a wee bit of
pep-rallying. Then, when there are
no more logs to be thrown, the
Seniors will lead the traditional
snake-dance around the dorm field
and parade back to the gym. Josie,
Umbrella Girl, Simon of the sophisticated—it says here—Senior class,
will present the evening's entertainment in the gym.
But like all good things, Activities
Day must come to an end sooner or
later and according to Residence
Council rules, it'll have to be sooner.

Death Of IPP
Life of Political Party
Closes 3-Month Run
|
"The Independent Party cannot be
continued due to lack of interest and
cooperation from the members,"
states the former president, Cecelia
Goldberger, '45. "The Independent
Party Reception to Freshmen, slated
for October 13, will not be held."
The Independent Party, originated
in March, 1944, by Cecelia Goldberger
'45, had for its main aim the unification of a student body to give encouragement and backing to any
: capable individual who was a candid a t e for an office. The aims later
became clarified, and it was organized as a political party open to all
Individuals who were not members
of a sorority or fraternity, for the
purpose of putting these people in
office. Originators of the party also
hoped to stimulate interest in our
college government through actual
party procedure, and intended that
members should carry this interest
in government to outside communities upon their departure from State.

FLASH! The discouraging news
has just been released. We've all
suspected it for a long while—at least
two weeks.
State co-eds have a calm viewpoint
about it now. And in the faces of
the 33 frosh men, there's a peppy
appearance, mingled with a sort of
hunted look. The class of '48 is
already discouraged by the realization that the ratio of their class is
9.1:1—in favor of—you know who
But they should worry. The ratio of
the whole school is a little more desperate—12.4:1. Let's have a little
feeling for the male of the species,
gals. Just keep that green glint out
of your eyes.
It's not very encouraging, is it,
Betty coed? You have reams of sympathy though. But then, why think
of men all the time. Take a gander
at the scintillating (woo-woo) photos
adorning this page. Think they're
purty cute, huh? These bits of attractiveness represent a cross-section
of the '48ers. Ah, such beauty, such
intelligent faces. Hold it! Is that a
new type of feather cut or could it
be . . . is it? . . . yes, it is! A picture—
two pictures of State men. Sorta
looks good. State certainly seems to
have acquired some lively and refreshing personalities in the 334 more
collegiates colliding in the halls. Boy,
there Is certainly enough of the
aforesaid colliding. Just try to get
out the back door of Draper some
noontime. New faces pop out everywhere. Everyone trying to organize
themselves into a cruddy world of
P.O., Commons, studies, and noontime tetea-tetes. All rather confusing!
*
So if sometimes you become just
a bit discouraged, remember that
frosh are a very necessary evil and
that you were once one yourself. Give
them a bit of help and advice when
they need it and do let them breathe
once and a while when you are giving
them the well known "rush."

As a result of the voting which
took place this week, Mary Sanderson '45 was elected to the office of
Vice President of WAA.
Next week, as the tennis tourney
gets under way, tennis will resume
its predominate place on the fall
sports program. A schedule of the
matches has been placed on the
WAA bulletin board stating that the
first round of matches must be
played off by next Monday.
Ae we look over the list of players,
we find the names of several veterans of former tennis tournaments.
Among these are: Flo Garfall '45,
Jo Simon '45, Peg Bostwick '45, Eileen Shoup '46, Betty Rose Hilt '47,
and Molly Cramer, '47. This year
the names of only three freshmen
appear on the schedule.
Oarfall and Simon, due to former
prowess on the courts, are recognized as the two strongest contendants for the cup, but since the
lnie-up shows several other hardened contestants, the final outcome
is unpredictable.
Due to the fact that the Sayles
Hall gym is no longer available for
WAA use, badminton and volley
ball will take place in the Page Hall
gym on Tuesdays and Thursdays at
4 p.m.
