L!**ARY STATE COLLEGE FOR TEACHERS P A G E 4T A LP* 4 NY. N. Y. STATE COLLEGE NEWS, FRIDAY, MARCH 16, 1945 ICTORV Gamma Kap, BZ Sophs, Freshmen Tops In League; To Bottle Today Six Games Left In Bowling Event Rough Contests Staged As Enthusiasm Rises Dy Joan Hylind A symptom of increased vigor and activity was the publication last week of the WAA Sportllght. It's a good Idea and we think it would be wise to keep it up. So far the staff members have remained anonymous. They really should come out and make themselves known. They have done a good job and should receive some recognition. Suggestion Dep't. This is a suggestion that has been made to us many times in the past and we pass it on to WAA for consideration. As the situation stands now, the shower rooms are locked at night. Girls can either go out into the cold or hang around till they cool off, both of which are not conducive to the health and well being of the population. If some arrangements could be made for shower facilities at night, we're sure it would be greatly appreciated. In fact, we would go so far as to say that all basketball players should be required to take a shower after their games. League Spirit Basketball continues on its blood and thunder way. Teams are really out to put up the best fight possible. The spirit observed a t these games is always at its highest pitch. By the time a squad has fought its way through its allotted 15 games, we would say they deserve a rest — but softball is coming up and here we go again. Three Cheers One thing that does our heart good is the increased attendance at league contests. Members of the group houses are coming out in droves to cheer their teams on. At some of the games, regular cheering squads go to town. This interest is something we have been urging for years and are glad to see developing. It also serves to support our conviction that if people are not themselves athletic, most of them have at least an interest in watching others be athletic. Final Word In weather like this we would rather be taking a walk than pounding a typewriter. Besides, it's healthier—in more ways than one. So, enough of this. By PAT SHEEHAN The Spirit of Rivalry has hovered over every piece of ground hallowed by that ancient battle. She has witnessed rivalry in every form from Myskania chaperoned basketball games to harrowing experiences in darkened dormitories. But never before has she been invited to see a strike roll down the center alley. When eager members of the rival classes gather at the Playdium this afternoon at 3:30, the Spirit will be there to urge them on and to smile with mystic foresight as she surveys the teams. WAA Does Cartwheels All For The War Effort Have you noticed people stealthily pinching their pennies and sneaking around with all-knowing looks? They have probably heard from confidential and usually relifble sources that WAA is going to have the stamp booth next week and for the three days before (deep breath, sigh!) vacation I Here is your chance to get rid of all that spare cash you have lying around your room. Why not clean it all out? Start your (sigh!) vacation with a clean slate, empty pockets, and a full stamp book. Since WAA is notorious for its athletic ability, it is offering to do a handspring for each 10c stamp bought, and a triple somersault with each 25c stamp. The Sports Staff did contemplate buying a War Bond via 10c stamps, but after pooling their resources, they discovered that their total capital consisted of 19c. So let's put on a real drive and get behind WAA. Phi Delt Bowlers Still Undefeated The number of games played in the WAA bowling league so far has not been enough to determine team and individual scores. As it now stands, Phi Delt is the only team still undefeated, with a total of four games won. Standings The present league standing is as follows: Won Lost Gamma Kap 2 2 AEPhi 7 Sayles 5 1 Chi Sig 3 3 Phi Delt 4 BZ 1 3 KD 3 1 Moreland 3 1 Psi Gam 1 4 Last week eight teams bowled two games each, with the exception of Sayles and BZ, then- games being forfeited by BZ. The other contests were between Chi Sig and KD, Psi Gam and AEPhi, and Gamma Kap and AEPhi. Chi Sig, Psi Gam and Gamma Kap were the winners, each team taking the first two games. Tuesday's Games On Tuesday of this week KD bowled Phi Delt, Gamma Kap bowled Psi Gam, and AEPhi bowled BZ. In the KD-Phi Delt tilt, KD bowled a first game of 741. This is the highest score bowled in any game by a team in the WAA league. The second game has not yet been decided. The outcome of the Gamma Kap-Psi Gam contest is not final. Gamma Kap won the first game, but the scores of the second game have not all been handed in. AEPhi won from BZ, taking the first two games. Judy Dube states that the bowling schedule will be completed before Easter. Those who are working for WAA credit must also have their scores in by that time. Saturday found basketball still going strong; the Rares from Fierce emerged victorious over the Wrens to the tune of 23-10. With Valentine making beautiful passes to Michael, Michael scored 8 points for the losers. Abrams tossed in 8 points for the winners and Davidson starred by adding 10 points in the last half. Tommy More upset a 4-3 score at the half in favor of KD by a fast spurt in the second half and won 19-14.

For Posterity Traditions have always played an integral part in the life of State College students. Far back in 1917 there grew up a body whose main purpose was to keep intact these very cherished and revered traditions. However for the past two years strong antagonistic feeling has arisen against these time-honored customs. More radical .students see nothing but nonsense and sham, others are indifferent—pageantry and ideals mean little to them. We don't deny that State is indulging in a bit of sentimentalism. But what keeps alive these hearts, these feelings, these very buildings, if it isn't these small excursions into the field of sentimentality and reverence. The war does this to Stale. It turns students' heads to the concrete and realistic, everything must be on a practical and efficiency basis. Meanwhile spirit soars out from freshman hearts, activity becomes more and more meaningless, and college is but an empty building in which cold, hard progress marches on while ever-lingering memories fade into oblivion. Let us ding to our few remaining customs, preserve them for posterity so that our sons and daughters may come to State and feel the sacred reverence of an immortal institution, living with beliefs to be passed down eternally. T h a t is true college loyalty, and it was built up by revered traditions. The whole system of Nazi propaganda came as a result of the fact that Hitler destroyed his people's tribal customs and ideals. Yes, for you State we feel intangible loyalty— a loyalty fostered in our early years by seemingly, silly, nonsensical traditions. These traditions, however, proved they were far from insignificant for it is through them, dear State, that we toward you—the moulder of our Fate—"cherish, love, always."

Many a profound question has been debated in the classrooms of State, but none will ever approach the level of the controversy that was waged recently in Dr. Jones Folklore class. The subject of Child Lore was under discussion, and Dr. Jones explained that youngsters have many rituals which they perform. For example, he said, there is the practice of holding a dandelion under your chin to see if you like butter. The students exchanged puzzled glances, and finally a few brave souls ventured to say, "Buttercups, not dandelions." Dr. Jones frowned, leaned across the desk, and phrased emphatically the one work, "Dandelions." The class straightened as one man and roared back "Buttercups." After a few seconds of stunned silence, everyone, including Dr. Jones, collapsed with laughter. H. F. Honikel & Son Pharmacists ESTABLISHED IOOB PHONE .1-2030 157 CENTRAL AVE.

STA1E COLLEGE NEWS, FRIDAY, MARCH 83, 1C45 PAGE 4 Jfout Queen Sophomores Show Spirit %<U My Alley By GEORGE HESS In our first crack at a column we would like to follow In the footsteps of an illustrious predecessor, Bert Kiley, and digress a bit from the world of sports. Bert was ever fond of touching on events that were of universal interest to the college. Among them was Myskania, and that shall be our topic for today. A couple of weeks ago Kippy Marsh unleashed a blast against cliques and such. While we didn't agree with everything that Kippy wrote, it did result in one of the best moves that Myskania has ever made, the abandoning of their black robes during assembly programs. This unfrocking still leaves Myskania all of its powers to govern. It in no way handicaps the functioning of the organization. It's only effect is to make Friday assemblies a much pleasanter hour, brought about by the bright appearance of the girl's best Sunday dresses. The girls now look like human beings, not like a string of penguins when they appear in assembly. In spite of this pleasant change there are some people who don't think much of the whole deal. They have been circulating a petition which requests that Myskania climb back into their robes and become the superbly segregated group that they have always been. Why? Do these people get a vicarious charge out of the weekly procession. Or, better still, do we detect that well known gleam in their eyes? We think that all the furor over the unfrocking is nothing more than a tempest in a tea pot. Myskania is made up of a bunch of good looking femmes who should be allowed to show off along with the rest. Leaving off the robes gives them an opportunity that can't be beat. It all adds up to the unalterable fact that Myskania, sans robes, is in the better interests of all concerned. Let's let the matter rest. By MARY LIZ SULLIVAN That just about takes care of the Myskania defrocking issue and we will be on hand to carry our dear colleague out of school this afternoon. Meanwhile, we think we'll follow up our love for WAA. The spirit of the houses, whose teams are in the basketball league this year, seems to have hit an all time high. Take Stokes for example—last week when they played KD just about the whole house turned out—and that's including the house mother and her son. Not that we're advocating family turnouts for these games, but just the same a little support does make the team feel better. Gamma Kap and Newman's cheerers can frequently be seen sitting on the sidelines beating the benches whenever their teams fail to keep a twenty point lead over the opposing team. But then, some teams are naturally good! Then there's the old question of being on time for the games or forfeiting them. It hardly seems fair to the team who manages to get all their players there, to be faced with deciding whether they should play with three or five players; or having roving centers as was done Monday night in two of the three games played. There's no reason that one girl should wear herself out during one of these games which, after all, should be more of a period of recreation than of pure murder. Anybody who saw the Newman-Phi Delt game we're sure would agree with this. In our congratulations department we'd like to give some pats on the back to a few of the members of our illustrious staff, who have been keeping their eyes glued to score books and watches during several basketball games, so that in some cases two gals have had to watch the games! This is going to sound odd but— congrats to George Hess's Flashes who have swept into second place in the MAA bowling league. (Well, you'd say it too if Hess stood over you with a P.O. desk In one hand and the filing cabinet in the other!) So weakened as we are with lack of sleep and loss of blood, we can just master 'nuff energy to say—have a nice Easter vacation. In Blazing Sport Career Rivalry Score Proves Gremlins Athetic Skill The first blow to the athletic hopes of the men of '47 came when they discovered that there were so few men in the Class of '46. This kept the freshmen men from throwing their full weight into rivalry. This initial handicap did not keep them from entering wholeheartedly into all the other sports that were offered. Football, basketball and softball were kept alive by the participation of the freshmen. It was in football that '47 really was strong, this strength holding over to this fall when the fellows of '47 hung the first rivalry defeat on the freshmen. The big gun for '47 in all sports was Bob Dickinson. He starred in all three, and because of these efforts he was elected MAA director for this year. Basketball was taken over by the women in the class. Here they really hit the top, winning two out of the three games played and gaining three.points for rivalry. Baker was high in the first game with 18 points, and Russo came through with 23 in the second. And the class was really proud when Sweeney was elected the outstanding basketball player of the season, earning for herself the title of "best dribble-snatcher" on the court. This was just the beginning though for a spirited sports career in their second year. The first rivalry sports event was the men's football game, ending in a shut-out victory for the Sophs, and incidentally, 2VIJ rivalry points. Campus Day, featuring both MAA and WAA athletics, gave both classes an equal number of rivalry points. November 8, brought Archery—the first time it has ever been played for rivalry points. Bodach, Tomasik and Palmatier, were the '47 mainstays in chalking up another point for the Sophs, The hockey event the next week gave the Sophs two more points as they shut-out the frosh 2-0. The basketball games were—as far as playing goes—merely a repetition of last year's speed, passwork and spirit. Russo was undisputedly the star of the rivalry basketball games. In the first game she scored 17 of the 25 points and topped this score by gaining 19 of the 26 points in the second. Three more points were won by the Sophs last Friday, when the Soph girls defeated the frosh in bowling. The men's score was a tie and the play-off game deciding three more points is scheduled for today. Rivalry swimming and softball have yet to be played. Central Vacuum Repair Shop 101 >,{. CENTRAL AVE. Despite concentrated cramming for mid-sems this week, sport playoffs have kept up to—if not ahead of their schedules. We find Ray Weiss still ahead in the ping-pong tournament—both in games won and in rounds played. There's one more game to be played before the final game—which should prove to be very 'exciting. No betting! Hilt's groaning 'cause she gets her name in every week for ping-pong—and people keep kidding her about it. You see! that's what keeps people from playing off those rounds . . . gee Hilt, what can we do—you're captain!
