Gain First Victories
Ey Joan Hylind
We are chagrined. The defeat of
Newman by BZ finds us stranded
on a rather cold limb. The evil that
has befallen our avowed favorite
brings reminiscences of Kiley, Wurtz
and Kiss of Death Inc. We might
even be forced to give up predicting
for the duration. The only consolation we have is that Maggio, one
of Newman's star forwards, was not
in the line-up that fateful day. The
break-up of a powerful combination
of forwards can undermine any
team. This beautiful piece of rationalization breaks down, however,
when we discover that Blake and
Bushnell were missing from the BZ
team. Could be they're just good?
Black vs. Yellow
There may be some discussion on
the question of whether the Myskaia-Frosh game belongs on the
sports page. But if TGIP can be
represented—so can Myskania. Seriously, it was a game well worth
watching. The black-robed ones
made a better showing than anyone
thought they would—including Myskania. Smith, Garfall, Now and
Cooper, the "regulars" of the team,
were right in there. Meyers, of the
"conscripted" members was the surprise of the day. Her guarding and
smooth interceptions helped save the
venerable seniors from worse than
a 53-21 defeat. In the freshman
lineup all members distinguished
themselves. By the way, does Tilden
ever miss?
Myskania's provision of
two
stretcher-bearers turned out to be
more grim than anyone intended.
Kippy's broken finger and the difficulty connected with having it set
go to illustrate once more the point
made in an earlier column that
State College students do not receive
adequate medical protection.
Winter Wonderland
For the last month or so we have
been watching the little ones romp
in the snow—skiis and sleds flying
—no cares. Washington Park has
become a miniature Sun Valley, offering all the winter sports. State
students might be able to use the
facilities if they can negotiate a
non-aggression pact with the juveniles who are now undisputed masters of the scene.
Then there was the little boy who
preferred to use the icy sidewalk
for his sleigh-run. We stopped to
give him a lecture on consideration
of the rights of others — but we
really didn't mind walking in the
road.
About Milne
Last week-end we saw our first
Milne basketball game—but not the
last. Those kids really put on a
good show. One thing that impressed us about the game was
the enthusiasm of the audience.
They were never still. After growing up on the utter passivity of
State College spectators, it was
quite a shock. There are only two
or three times wu can remember
when the Eagles received the vocal
.support they deserved.
Yea Lincoln!
One more item has been added to
the long list of reasons why we
honor Lincoln. His birthday enabled Kiley to leave the thriving
metropolis of Heuvelton to come to
us. But times have changed. When
asked to write a guest column,
George Bertram replied, "I have
nothing to say." What one year
in Huevelton can do.
Tout Note
Before Christmas vacation there
was considerable furor raised concerning the policies of the Sports
page. Ah that time we made a suggestion that representatives from
the Athletic associations be appointed to give news to the Sports
page. The public may be interested in knowing that so far this has
not been done,

This past week the basketball
league was brought to the fore once
again after a brief respite due to
the fuel shortage.
On Saturday afternoon the Dynamiters went into action against the
powerful Whiz Kids, defeating them
by a score of 19-17. The contest was
a close and steady one from the
start but the Commuters, sparked
by Herllhy's fourteen points, succeeded in emerging victorious over
the
Tilden,
„„„. Whiz
....«, Kids.
..,
_..„_ the_ frosh
mainstay, led her squad with ten
tallies.
The second game of the afternoon
between Newman Hall and Beta
Zeta displayed very little of the
steadiness seen in the first contest
and at the final whistle Beta Zeta
held a decisive lead of 24-7 over the
Newmanites. Both teams failed to
settle down to their usual even style
of playing. The Newman Hall squad
rallied several times but were
thwarted in every attempt by the
competent Dunn, Diffon and Jennings of the BZ defense. The Newman guards were off their usual
steady form and were unable to
check the strong Baker-McGinnisRopke combination. Guido seemed
to be the mainstay on the Newman
defense while Russo led the offense
with four points. Baker gamed scoring honors for the BZ quintet.
A spirited session between Phi
Delt and Sayles resulted in a 30-22
win for the Phi Delts. Both teams
put up a valiant struggle last year
to remain on the list of those chosen
for league championship. Phi Delt
has retained much of its former
strength in the person of Hamilton,
Seymour and Barnhart while Lengyel, a newcomer on the Sayles squad,
adds to its powerful offense. Seymour was high scorer for Phi Delt
with 16 points and Lengyel tossed up
14 for the losers.
Activity was resumed on Monday
afternoon with Chi Sig and Moreland battling for court honors. The
Madison Avenue lassies took their
first victory of the season in a 17-10
lead over the Morelanders. Garfall
came through for the Chi Sigs with
15 of the total points.
Gamma Kap Strong
Gamma Kap continues to hold its
place in the league limelight by de
feating the AEPhi girls to the tune
of 16-4. The Gamma Kaps displayed a well co-ordinated quintet and
the AEPhi squad was unable to gain
more than two baskets before such
a strong defense. The losers made
several attempts to hold down their
opponents but Pedisich and Young
remained undaunted scoring 7 and
6 points respectively.
Psi Gam succeeded in gaining
their first victory in a hard fought
tilt with the Tommy More girls
The final score was 12-4.
Beta Zeta slammed through to
their second victory of the week by
defeating the Whiz Kids 37-10.
Stokes And Hares Tie
The final game proved to bo the
most exciting. It got off to a poor
start witli both teams failing to get
settled. The Rares were leading by
a narrow margin but in the last
frame the Stokes squad gained momentum and brought the game to
an 11-11 deadlock. In the overtime
match tin; squads went wild. Griffin
and Bishop on the Stokes defense
set up an Impenetrable zone forcing
the bull info play on their own
court. Boynton and Engdahl scored
for the Stokes team and the overtime lap ended in u 15-12 triumph
for Stokes.

Bowling League
Resumes Action
Lack O f Smokes
Scored By All
We decided to disgress from the
field of sports this week and write on
a matter of universal interest. We,
like all other fiends, have been run
ragged trying to find cigarettes.
Time after time we have arrived too
late. "Sorry, Mac. Just sold the last
pack," has rung in our ears so often
that we are growing just a bit tired
of it.
Rumors, Facts
In the back of our mind was
always a nagging little thought. We
were always trying to figure just
where all the cigarettes were disappearing to. There were lots of
hints and rumors, but no definite
information. Then Monday night
we saw an item about a new cigarette that is to make its appearance
soon. Quoted in the article, as an
afterthought, were a couple of
figures on current cigarette production.
Terrific Production
We learned that Phillip Morris
produces no less than 33 billion
cigarettes each year, and that Liggett & Meyers (Chesterfields) makes
just twice that many. With these
figures to work on we decided that
R. J. Reynolds (Camels) whipped
out 75 billion; American Tobacco
Company (Lucky Strikes), 65 billion;
and P. Lorillard Company (Old
Gold), 22 billion. This makes a total
of 261 billion popular brand cigarettes produced in this country in
one year. Then we used 130 million
population to determine the number
consumed. If fifty percent of the
people in this country, 65 million,
were to smoke a pack a day for a
year 23,725,000,000 packs would go
up in smoke.
By dividing 261 billion by 20 we
discovered that only 13,050,000,000
packs were produced. This leaves a
deficit of 10,675,000,000 packs a year
and, seemingly, a solution to the
shortage. But, and here is the hitch,
we haven't even tried to estimate
the number of lesser known brands
that are produced. There are so
many small sellers on the market
that they must make up the discrepancy between production and
consumption of popular makes. And
another factor is the figure we used
for tire smoking public. There are
many men who will never touch a
fag, sticking faithfully to pipe or
cigar.

Bruce
Hansen's Whiz Kids took the alleys
against Bob Sullivan's All Americans and took three out of four
games. Both teams were bowling
with blinds, but Hansen's boys were
a little more consistent. Jim Crandell was the big gun for the Whiz
Kids, wacking out a single of 181.
His three game total of 467 was also
high for his team. Jim Whytock
gained top honors for the AllAmericans with 163 and 421.
In the second match of the night
the Flashes took it on the chin
from Dave Lehman's renovated
Thunderbolts. The
Thunderbolts
served notice on the rest of the
league that they are out for blood
by winning four games. The Flashes
were handicapped by the absence of
Cal Zippen, one of their top men.
Even with Zippen the Flashes would
have had a hard time overhauling
the Thunderbolts because Lehman
himself turned in the highest three

was 521, and his 187 was the high Got A Butt, Pal?

Motion To Use Money
For Student Union Fund
Three financial motions will be
the order of the day in student
assembly this morning. Several important announcements will follow
the voting and discussion.
The first motion concerns that
presented by Leah Tischler, '45, in
last week's assembly—Be it resolved
that: "Ten dollars be taken from the
Student Association Surplus Fund
and be appropriated to Campus
Commission for the purpose of expenses, such as to pay for keys for
the strong box. the duplication of
drawer keys for members of the
Commission, cord for Moving Up
Day, and any other expenses that
might be incurred during this semester."
BiS Eight Motion
Betty J. McGrath, '46. chairman of
the Big Eight Committee, will introduce a resolution to rescind the
following motion passed by Student
Association last March—"That upon
maturity the 4'; interest on the
$2500 bond purchased by the Big
Ten proceeds be used to establish a
scholarship fund for returning veterans or for their descendants."
The Big Eight Committee feels that
returning veterans arc already provided for in the G.I. Bill of Rights.
In addition the bond would give
impetus to the Student Union Fund
and more people would benefit if
the maturity value of the $2500 were
turned over in this manner. If the
above motion is rescinded by the
2/3 vote necessary for this action,
the new resolution will read: "The
Big Eight Committee moves that
upon maturity the $2500 bond purchased by the proceeds of last year's
Big Ten programs be turned over to
Student Union."

Robert Sullivan, '4G, Vice-President of Student Association, will

O n e serious bottle-neck, some say,
will be t h e difficulty of proving discrimination. B u t this is not the a m biguity, unfortunately, t h a t a stranger m i g h t think. Discrimination is
the personnal m a n a g e ' s "No help
wanted, t h a n k s , " to t h e Negro p h a r macist who applies for a war plant
job.
Discrimination sets t h e level
of a d v a n c e m e n t far down t h e scale
for Jews, Negroes, Catholics a n d
Orientals, depending on t h e company or p a r t of t h e country concerned. Discrimination barred many
from some labor unions, forcing
would-be unionists to become strikebreakers, in p r e - P e a r l Harbor days,
or keeping t h e m out of work In a
closed shop.
In time of economic sterility, with
jobs few a n d m e n hungry, discrimination sets "white P r o t e s t a n t " Americans against Catholics, Negro a n d
Jewish Americans. Democracy, as
the attractive Air Corps lieutenant
told me a t Tuesday's hearings, becomes " a n over-rated exaggeration."
Prejudice is fanned to hatred, a n d
the ersatz, deadly catalyst of discrimination causes race riots, bread
lines—but n o cure for the job shortage. T h i s never cures a depression,
but it does give t h e unemployed
other things to think about t h a n the
real resaons why there are not
enough jobs for everybody who

State Aid, Teacher s Salary,
T h e American people have always

the leaders in this Held. In keeplug with this progressive policy, t h e

proposals which would considerably

F o r m u l a , whereby t h e a m o u n t of
S t a l e Aid is based on t h e number
of pupils in actual a t t e n d a n c e at
school each day. An "elementary
teacher unit" ol 27 pupils In grade
school will receive $1,500 a year for
educational uses. I n high school
lhe unit is 22 pupils a n d t h e S t a t e
Aid for each such unit is $1,900.
T h i s is not, however, the final
a m o u n t the county will receive.
T h e number of units, multiplied by
the grunt, per unit, is applied to a
formula involving t h e valuation of
the county; thus the poorer a district the more S t a l e Aid lt receives.
Education is not static, a n d n e i t h er are the processes which cause lt

bill increases the salaries of teachers in cltities of a t least 50,000 a n d
not more t h a n 150,000 to a minimum of $1,600 in secondary schools.
A third i m p o r t a n t p a r t of the legislative program is t h e extension of
