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.

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 . . .

What Price An Idea i ,.,.-,
It's an Important day when an idea becomes a
reality. In college one too viten becorrtes entangled
in theory and embued with the sacredness of his
ideas to think much about the important thing,
which is, putting those ideas into practice. How
many noble thoughts, born during a bull session or
class discussion, die just as quickly when brought
up against the hard facts of everyday existence?
Too many ideas cannot exist side by side with the
actual conditions which affect them.
It has been an important semester for State
College because this year an idea did become a
reality. I t is an idea which has been talked about
since the College was founded, namely, that there
is tolerance and undemocratic methods existing here
and that something can be done about them.
Nine students and six faculty members have
made this idea, which is so old, become a living
thing. It finds its life in a group called the Committee of Fifteen. Their constitution consists solely
of two purposes: 1. To examine and obtain information about intolerant and undemocratic practices in the College and alleviate those practices
through the best channels and 2. Promote cultural
and racial toleration in this institution.
For definite contributions by the barely twomonth's old organization, we are able to point out
the tea for Langston Hughes, Negro poet, last
month. They have contacted similar national organizations and are planning to work with these.
The Committee is not idle now. The best part of
it's work will probably be evident by next year.
This group does not work with spectacular
means. Many of its accomplishments may never
be publicized as its work. The purpose of the
Committee is to merely investigate and suggest
with an objectivity which is not enclosed within
the-four walls of a constitution and a promotion
system.
That is how an idea is becoming a reality. It is
not an idea which is going to back down before
the facts.
Comes ZE Revolution! . . .
We hate to mention it again, but the N E W S office is the working establishment of the State
College News. As such it cannot also be the Locker
Room Annex, the storage room for unused books
and clothes and the chief hang-out for all who
find the smoke-laden air healthful.
For several years now, the NEWS has been waiting
for a vacant space on the blackboard to post notices
pertaining to the publication of the newspaper and
the duties of the reporters. Needless to say, such
space cannot be found since the board is used for
casual notes, morning greetings, and "meet you at
the Boul" scrawls.
Clothing and books of sundry sorts still clutter
up the N E W S Office in spite of the many requests
issued in the past. If this situation is not remedied
immediately, the N E W S staff will take action by disposing of all articles left in the office. Owners may
apply for lost possessions to the Lost and Found
Department.
The purge is on again and we intend to make it
the last. We do not mind visitors, but please leave
your belongings behind or take them with you.
We need the desks to work on.

to discuss student government affairs and problems.
An Interesting fact brought out
In the discussion at the convention
was tho fact that the student government setup here Is more democratic thun that of any other college represented, State, for example,

Play Production Class and The
College Playhouse, the two dramatic
organizations on campus, have announced plans for future presentations.
Marianne Davis, '46, and Julie
Boxer, '47, have released the casts
for the plays which they are directing under the sponsorship of the
Play Productions Class.
Miss Boxer announces the members of her cast as Mother, Grace
Jones, '48, Oldest daughter, Emily,
Patricia Hydorf, '48, and Brother
Bob, Bruce Hansen, '48. This play is
a psychological study of a domineering mother and her acquiescent
daughter. The daughter, yearning
for an artistic career, attempts to
escape to New York and is thwarted
by her overbearing mother. The play
will be staged April 24 at Page Hall.
Second Cast
The second cast, released by Marianne Davis, '46, is Mrs. Harding,
Gloria Jaffer, '48; Katherine, Mary
Ellen Diener, '47, and Mary, Edith
Dell, '48. This
plot revolves
around the struggle of two women,
one married, one single, for the same
man; the familiar triangle with different twists. The date of the play is
May 8.
More Plays
Two other plays, directed by Lois
Fillman and Shirley Gross, sophomores, were also to have been presented by the Play Productions
Group, but due to snags in casting
and rehearsal setting, rehearsals
have been suspended for an indefinite interal. The casts for these plays
will be announced at a later date
according to the two directors.

which were forerunners of the movies; astronomical photography; the
hand camera; the miniature camera; news and war photography; the
silhouette method where the shadow is recorded directly on the sensitized plate or film by electric spark
without use of lens; and on to the
most advanced stroboscroplc photography of today.

Versatile, exacting, and vivid—how
else to describe the watercolors of
Miss Grace Martin which were recently on exhibit?
Her works consist of locales, maps,
and still life. They're accentuated
by her keen use of architectural design, fresh color, preciseness, and
fineness of brush stroke.
Of the four still-life, one was outstanding. It had the benefit of the
artist's experience In regard to color,
lines, and texture of the various objects. It wasn't an ordinary apple;
Cezanne might have painted it.
Walking down Washington Avenue
the other day, we passed the autlque
shop. We knew we'd seen lt some
time before—except the snow was
gone. Miss Martin says, "I've never
painted snow before this." But "Antiques, Washington Avenue" has that
beautiful snow in pastels which
makes winter beautiful.
Looking around, another painting

Plans for organizing Student
Guides and Frosh Camp will be underway in the near future according
to Joan Mather, '46 and Eleanor
Hayeslip, '45, chairmen of these respective groups. They have planned
to begin such work early this year
in order to allow time for complete
organization and to create greater
interest on the part of upper classmen.
Anyone interested should sign the
lists in Dean Stokes' office sometime
before Wednesday at 3:30 P. M. If
a student wishes to sign for both
functions she may do so, however all
who sign these lists will not necessarily be chosen. Only fifty counselors will be taken for the camp weekend and these only on the basis of
special abilities and interests.
These two programs are set up in
order that freshmen may make an
easier adjustment to college life.
Frosh Camp is the traditional social
week end before opening session,
while Student Guides continue this
work started at camp, in addition to
making them acquainted with college personnel, customs, and traditions.
Press Bureau Board
Adds New Members
Several new members have been
added to the Press Bureau Board,
according to Vera Kozak, '45, director of Press Bureau. Two Senior
members, Eileen Heineg and Florence Graham were added to this
group as they had shown exceptional
interest in the work.
The new Sophomore Board members are: Anne Mastrangelo, Audrey
Cox, Dolores Ganslow, Joy Beckers,
Bertha Wakin, and Santtna Sergi.
Junior and freshman members will
be announced on Moving-Up Day.
Patricia Sheehan, '47, a Sophomore Board member, attempted to

and though she was not able to

letters have been written to this
magazine with the hope they can

Statesmen Plan
May Semi-Formal
A t Country Club
The Statesmen have announced
that their second semi-formal dance
will be held on May 12 at the Aurania
Club on-South Allen Street.
Although the original intention
was to give a twin-dance at Sayles
and Pierce Halls in the style of the
pre-war formals, this plan has been
abandoned in favor of the Auriania
Club Idea because of the extra dancing space the Aurania ball-room affords, The Aurania Club was in former years the scene of the State
Senior Balls.
Gray's Orchestra
Phillip Lashinsky, '47, general
chairman of the affair, has disclosed that Freddie Gray's orchestra will again furnish the music for
the dance. Mr. Gray held forth with
his eight piece orchestra and vocalist
at the first Statesmen's semi-formal
on January 13.
Committees for the affair are now
working out the final details; heading
these committees are James Crandall, '45, Arrangements and Joseph
Palesky, '45, Tickets.
Tickets may be purchased from
any Statesman and are priced at
$2.40 per couple,
Informal Dance Tonight
The Statesmen are holding an informal date dance tonight in the
Lounge from 8:30 to 12. This affair
is exclusively for the Statesmen and
their dates.

This is the time for all good
Staters to ccme to the aid of a
varsity basketball team for next
year. If the student body really
wants one, will support it—both
financially and with moral backing—there can be a team representing State in intercollegiate
circles. Impossible? No, there is
already a movement under way
to form a team and arrange a
schedule.
A great deal has been missing
from college life with the absence of a team to root for. It
has been recognized that athletics play an important part in
creating a spirit and lifting the
morale of any group. Anyone who
knew State before the war agrees
that something has been lacking
since varsity basketball was discontinued.
State students can have a team
