A Little More Action
State College had some high ideals for the transition of State into the upper brackets last May
when we voted that we should have a Student
Union. Unfortunately, our ideals have gradually
been submerged in the murky haze of bickering,
doubt, and evasion.

G.I. COLUMNIST
We have a guest columnist this week from England
although the poor guy isn't even aware of the fact.
Since this is a G.I. column we think it only fitting
that the G.I.'s should have a chance to express themselves through it. We should like therefore to reprint
the following description from Dick Hisgen '43.
DEATH IN OUR TIME
DICK HISGEN
Even as I watched the big four-engined plane hurtle
down the runway I had a feeling that all was not as
it should be. Usually the planes left the ground before
this one had. Its wheel left the concrete at the last
instant and like a tiring bird the Liberator began to
falter and stagger. An involuntary shudder passed
through me and immediately afterwards the goose
pimples began to raise on my flesh. My tongue stuck
to the roof of my mouth and my throat tightened
with suspense. I had full sympathy for the young
pilot and co-pilot of that plane for I knew that their
lives were passing through their minds like film
through a camera. My first impulse was to run like
hell but I stood as one rooted to the ground. Just
as the plane reached a grove of trees, it headed earthwards with all its engines whining in protest in a
futile effort to lift the wings.

of flame and expanding air. The air-blast rattled
nearby barracks and awoke their occupants. A dirty
black column of smoke climbed about 200 feet and
then fell victim to the wind which scattered it. The
flames licked hungrily at the fuselage and wing
surfaces.
When will the bomb-load go off? This thought had
been in the back of my mind all this time, but now
it pushed its way to the fore. 1 saw the flash before
I heard the dull whoomph of the five-hundredpounder. Throwing myself on the ground I awaited
what I feared would be the blow to end all blows.
Amazingly nothing happened! The soft earth in
which the bomb was half-buried had "soaked up"
most of its devastating effect.

We've had numerous assemblies devoted to discussion of the Student Union. There have been
several amendments proposed to the original motion
and discussed along with it. Instead of sticking
strictly to business and maintaining an intelligent
discussion, we were more than once inclined toward
tangents of petty and irrelevent matters that helped
to confuse rather than clarify the situation. We've
tried to get all the questions answered at once,
instead of dwelling on them one at a time. Some
of us ask "How much will it cost?" Before we
know it, the discussion is off on the situation of
the Student Union and the merits and demerits of
the Benevolent Association. As a result, some of
us understand what's going on perfectly, some of
us know a little about it and the rest of us haven't
the vaguest notion of what it's all about.
Strong objections have been voiced on various
chases of the motion. That in itself is a healthy
sign, but to declare that some plan is not its best
and suggest it be discarded without any notion of
what might be substituted in its place or what
changes will make it its best is inane. The feeling
against having the funds handled by the Benevolent Association, for instance, is strong, but there
lias been no adequate solution offered so far. Would
it be wise to throw such a large sum of money into
the inexperienced hands of 1,000 students? Would
it work to select a committee from the student
body? Could they be trusted to use more discretion than an organization that has been in existance
for several years? And wouldn't this committee,
in a few years also become an impersonal group
mistrusted and resented by future students? Have
new representatives each year, you say. Wouldn't
it save more time and trouble to select representatives from the student body to the Student Union
Committee each year with the duty of keeping
track of what happens to the funds. That is only
one of the spirals we have traveled in the discussions.
Today, a new motion, containing all the amendments that have been hashed and re-hashed, will be
presented and discussed in assembly. Are we going
to go over all the minor points that we've been over
so often again? Just this once, can't we stick to it,
listen to what is said so that it isn't said again five
minutes later in slightly different words? If we
discuss it thoroughly, point by point, so that every
person present, and everyone should be present,
understands it, there should be no cause for gripeing after it is voted on. If the Student Association feels that today is the time for voting on the
motion, it should lie voted on by all means, but
let's not just say, "Aye" because "it happens to be
12:0s and we're hungry. We've spent a whole
semester discussing the Student Union; surely we
can spare one more half hour.

/ ast Call To Sophomores
Blood Drive To End Today
The month of February— a
month of great men and of
lovers. Let us for now omit the
great men and think more of the
lovers. Two days after Valentine's Day—this is the time when
a girl gives away her heart and
a fellow gives a dozen roses or
maybe even a Tiffany!
For the past two days the
Sophomores, en route to their
hearts, have been rounding up a
tittle blood along the way and
giving that too. After all he may
have your heart but if his blood
is all gone—what's he gonna do?
If any of you Sophs are still
keeping your hearts and your
blood—well the fellows' hearts
can be given to State's women
and the women's hearts to
Statesmen, but the blood—that
has to be given to the attendant
at the blood station. There is
absolutely no red tape attached
• only a band-aid).
So all you Sophs who have not
given—get out and give today.
It's your last opportunity to give
that fellolw not only your whole
heart but also a whole pint of
shiny red blood.
Rooth Announces
Slated Debates

Syracuse University on February 1,
but due to exams, arrangements
were canceled.
Soy/es Hall Rifled By "Raffles
Meal-time Thief Nets $300
by Marilyn Warshaw
Attention all frosh, Sophs, Juniors and Seniors! Wanted by the
police: One little man in a black
coat having on his person $300 in
cash and checks, a varied assortment of both real and imitation
leather wallets, AND one package
of real, honost-to-goodness ciyavoltex!
This person was last seen by a
pack of female roomers from Sayles
Hall who, after a hectic chase
throng the dorm balls, gave up,
convinced their "prowler" had disappeared, went back lo the dinner
table and sang songs in his honor.
Meanwhile the little man, who must
have been hiding In a closet all the
While, went nivalin// from room
to room and pocketed what turned
out to be a gross misfortune to a
large part of the lassies. The loss
of a pack of Chesterfields stolen
from lite desk drawers of one of
the verdant freshmen was particularly hcart-rondlng to its owner
when she learned of her misfortune.
Since the majority of us are still
very "education conscious" alter
having gone through a week and u
half of hectic studying, let us try
to understand our criminal by
applying to the ease some of the
knowledge we have stiposedly absorbed. Perhaps in this manner,
Wo can make this "Understand

Now have you ever
heard the axiom, "A straight line
is the shortest distance between
two poinls'.'" Well, obviously this
man did, too. He walked in u
straight line straight from one
room into the oilier!
Or it could bo looked at historically. Consider the thief's past
history. Perhaps be was voted
"Most Likely to Succeed" in bis
graduating class. That's quite a
reputation to live up to, and our
friend was trying the quick financial way to success.
The psychological angle now
forces its way in. This person was
obviously a sentimentalist! Many of
the Sayles damsels, after voting him
"The Meanest Thief of the Year,"
proceeded to discuss how It wasn't
the money they missed—it was the
.sentiment. The man, mental telepalhist that he was, returned the
sentiment—and kept, the money.
Several of the girls have had their
emptied wallets returned to them
via that most promising of transportation systems — the United
Stales Mail. One lovely miss even
received an Invitation lo spend an
evening with this most talked of

bly, of course, so that when our
names were read to the student body
recently, we could not defend our
honor. Will the editors of the NEWS
grant us a little space in which to
do so?
The charges leveled against us
are manifold and grave. We were,
the spokesman said, taking part in
extra-curricular activities although
we had not paid the Tax. We had
ignored four or five notices to pay
or explain. Above all, we had not
paid, And we had better do so.
The first charge is not universally
true, Most of us are not taking
part in extra-curricular activities,
either because we know that we
are not entitled to do so, or because, more simply, we just haven't
time for them. (If we had time,
we could use it to earn money with
which to pay the Tax and thus become eligible for such activities—
but then we couldn't participate
anyway).
The second charge is also flimsy
and general, for some of us received just one notice and most of us
answered promptly explaining our
position.
The third charge is, of course
true; we are guilty. Wo haven't
paid the Tax. We have paid for
our textbooks. We have managed
to pay laboratory and other fees.
With close figuring we manage to
cover our room and board. But we
haven't paid the Student Tax . . .
and we're not going to pay.
Whatever the Spokesman for
Student Union may believe, whatever impression he may have given,
the Student Tax is not a legal obligation upon State students. It is a
voluntary payment. It is, moreover, an omnibus tax, including
not only fees for services which he
might receive, but also a contribution to the Student Union, a philanthropic cause for which he might,
or might not want to give.

Events Past . . .
The Statesmen is a relatively new
organization, open to every man at
State. Though their first was held
less than three month ago, they
have already sponsored several enterprising functions under the direction of Mr. Inglis.
The Christmas formal dance in
the Ingle Room at Pierce Hall was
one of their largest programs. Prior
to Christmas vacation the Statesmen presentel a comedy skit in assembly to announce the dance, and
later, the night of Christmas parties,
all group houses were entertained
with caroling.
Events Future . . .
At present they are planning their
show for the "State Fair" where
they will introduce the Annex quartette, a ten-man routine number,
Edgar Bergen and Charlies McCarthy, and several other performers.
Tonight Psi Gamma sorority invites all Statesmen to their open
house at 8 P.M. This will be a
social function solely for the Statesmen, similar to the fraternity open
house of former years.

'
Not snow, nor coal shortages, nor
lack of news can stop the Sports
staff from completion of its accustomed round of duties—the news
must go through.
A tough break for the WAA winter program is the coal shortage and
resulting cancellation of basketball
and bowling contests. The loss of
a week's time from an already
crowded schedule presents serious
difficulties. Maybe last year's dire
prediction that team members would
have to stay on for summer school
In order to finish up the tourney,
may yet come true.
The Silver Lining
The only consolation we can see
for WAA is that at least this is one
thing that nasty Sports editor won't
be able to blame on them. Even a
person so obviously unintelligent
must come to the same conclusion
on the subject as did Mark Twain.
Seriously though, we sympathize
with te WAA program makers. News
that the gym will be open tomorrow
and that games can be made up at
that time is an encouraging note.
We're sure that everything will
work out all right. There are some
mighty energetic gals in charge of
the basketball league.
So Sorry
It seems as if we were slightly off
In our predictions concerning the
outcome of the league. . .Apologies
to the Gamma Kap squad for their
being overlooked in the list of possible cup-winners. Anyone who has
seen these gals burning up the
boards must admit that they are a
remarkably smooth and powerful
team. Their victory over KD has
raised their stock and been the
cause for considerable juggling of
odds and probabilities. Locker room
gossip has it that the cup will grace
the Gamma Kap livingroom at the
end of the season. We would not be
at all surprised, but still hold out
for Newman Hall's chances. At
least they will give them a good run
for their money.
Game Time
The Myskania - freshman game
proved just once more what a great
drawing card sports events can be.
It is our thesis for the year that
sports are important and should become more a part of general college
life. What we are loking forward to
with great interest is the proposed
Milne vs. Practice Teachers game.
If it does come off, we bet that
Madison Square Garden alone would
be able to do justice to the crowd.
This week, due to the fuel shortage, WAA has been forced to post
pone its schedule of league games.
However, n Monday one of the
scheduled games was able to be
played off. This proved to be fast
moving and exciting contest between
the girls from Stokes Hall and the
Tommis More lassies. Prom the
very first whistle both squads began
a determined fight for final honors.
The contest finally resulted in a
16-16 tie. I n the two minute overtime period Sylvestrl broke the
deadlock by tossing up two points
for the Tommy More team leading
her squad to an 18-16 victory.
Revised Schedule
The new schedule for the WAA
basketball league games is as
follows:
Saturday, February 10
1:00—AEPhi vs. Whiz Kids.
1:45—BZ vs. Newman.
2:30—Phi Delta vs. Sayles.

Myskania Warns Frosh
Two freshmen, Dorothy Bird and
Dorothy Causse, have been reported
to Myskania as having broken rivalry tradition number seven of Satte
College which states: freshmen shall
not wear any high school insignia,
such as rings, pins, keys, athletic
awards, etc., until Moving-up Day.
Miss Bird has committed three
offenses and will make an apology
in public before the Student Association. This is the second offense
for Miss Causse.

Sayles Explains
Partial Shutdown
In cooperation with the statewide
effort to conserve rapidly dwindling
fuel supplies, the college buildings
will not be heated in the evening
until further notice and all activities scheduled for this time have
been cancelled. In addition, the
gymnasium and library were closed
the first two days of the week.
Statement to Press
Dr. John M. Sayles, President,
sent a statement to the newspapers
last week in answer to those who
had criticized State College for remaining open during the emergency
period when all other schools were
closed.
The statement explained that
exams were in progress all week, and
that the heat was turned off every
day as soon as possible. It said also
that the closing of the school would
have further complicated the transportation problem, for the students
would have to return to their homes
on the already over-crowded railroads.
Dr. Sayles added that our fuel
supply was adequate, and anyone
bearing proper authorization would
be welcome to a share of it.

Nelson Nullifies ^Rumors,School To Recess In Spring
The rumor floating around the
halls of State to the effect that
Easter vacation will be eliminated
this year has been "spiked" by
Dr. Milton Nelson, Dean.
Dean Nelson said Wednesday
that present plans call for adherence to the schedule in the
catalog—that is, spring recess
from noon, March 28, to 8:10 A.M.
April 9. There is, however, a
possibility of a change in the
dates.
Washington's Birthday, which
is on Thursday this year, will
not be a holiday. The Dean explained that the holiday would
be too short to warrant the strain
on the railroads which would
result from students going home
for the long week-end.
The speculation about Easter
vacation was also based on the
transportation problem, and it
was suggested that keeping students in classes during the Easter
season would further relieve the
situation.

The schedule for the eight-week
accelerated program for summer,
1945, has been announced by Milton
G. Nelson, Dean. This schedule is
quite definite as it stands and will
be subject to almost no change.
Classes will begin on June 25 and
examinations will be held on August
17 and 18, with July 4 a holiday.
Last semester accelerated students
were asked to indicate whether or
not they planned to attend the summer session. Those who thought
they would attend were sent a tentative schedule and instructed to mark
the subjects they would take.
Summer Schedule
As a result "bf the information collected the present program was
evolved, and it varies only slightly
from the proposed schedule. Dean
Nelson said that students who have
not signed up for the summer session but decide to attend before it
begins can probably be accomodated.
No fees or other charges are levied
for the accelerated session.

Student Union Passed
With a unanimous vote of the
student body the final motion for
setting up a definite Student Union
Plan was passed in last week's assembly, ending a long and careful
period of research by the Student
Investigating Committee.
Jean
Winyall, '45. a member of the Cornmil tec, clarified the objectionable
clauses af the preceding week's discussion and introduced the motion
in its final form. James Whytock,
'47, proposed a new amendment
which would give the Student Association power to challenge or veto
an act of the Student Board but the
amendment was defeated in the
resulting vote. The Student Body
fell that enough elastic powers had
already been given lo Student Association to enable them to nullify an
act of the Board and that further
amendment of the motion would
only cripple the Initiative of the
Board itself,
Student Union Hoard
Hence there will be set up an
active Student Union Board and
funds will be accumulated and turned over to the New York State College for Teachers Benevolent Association, Inc., as a trust fund for
safe-keeping. Pledges will be collected and campaigns held for further funds. Control of the budget
will keep most of the legislative
power in the hands of the students
through Student Association.
