NuU By MINDY SKOLSKY COURSE No. I X — C O U R S I No, V I I I CONTINUED Synopsis of Course No. VIII When HBPZIBAH PEABODY, dull pupil in Miss MINNIE SLOTKIN's Public School No. 44 (and %) decided she toould like to be ASSEMBLY SPEAKER, she encountered a little OPPOSITION in the form of ANOELINE ALLBRIGHT and BENNIE BURLAP. HEPZIBAH, confidant that she would win, was out in the anteroom testing her voice when Miss ROSETTA STONE (the teacher) announced the victory. As the STUDENTS marched into the ASSEMBLY, Miss STONE walked up to the nervous candidates and opened her MOUTH. "The Speaker for the week," said Miss STONE, "is" . . . . . . "Bennie Burlap." Angeline Allbright congratulated Bennie Burlap. Hepzibah said, "Drop dead," a n d walked out. S h e stood reluctantly as Bennie led t h e group In t h e O a t h of Allegiance (which was w h a t she aspired to do most of all), a n d she slumped deep Into h e r plush-lined Assembly seat as he Introduced Miss Minnie Slotkin. After Assembly she went home. At home, she brooded. I t wouldn't have been so bad, she mused, if Angeline got elected—Angeline w a s a girl—but t h a t Bennie Burlap—he was a boy if she ever saw one. Why, wondered Hepzibah, did a boy get elected w h e n t h e girls h a d two candidates a n d t h e boys h a d only one? Don't the girls have twice as much c h a n c e of winning with two candidates as they would h a v e hart with just one? She voiced h e r convictions to Angeline t h e n e x t Monday in t h e lunchroom. Bennie, who was sitting a t the next table overheard and began t o laugh. " H a h ! " jeered Bennie in Hepzibah's direction. "Are E iris stoopid!" On T h u r s d a y , h t e girls of the Third G r a d e did something during n o m i n a t i n g period to show t h e boys t h a t Girls of t h e T h i r d G r a d e were not stoopid. They n o m i n a t e d t h r e e girls. T h i s time they were c o n fident of winning, especially since the boys h a d n o m inated only one candidate again. Hepzibah, whose n a m e was o n the slate once more, was a little dubious this time. And she had good r e a son to be—she lost. (So did the other two girls.) I t was over t h e week-end, which she spent in bed, t h a t Hepzibah wised up. She was studying Florinsky's "Law of Election R e t u r n s in the Elementary Schools" when it came to her. She picked up t h e telephone from her little plaid night table a n d dialed t i n girls of the t h i r d grade. During t h e next nominating session, the boys n o m inated one candidate, Billy Bullfinch. T h e girls, h a v ing been enlightened by Miss Hepzibah Peabody, n o m inated Miss I-.epzibah Peabody—and then they n o m inated Joe Smith. Joe Smith's mouth fell open. T h e boys' m o u t h s fell open. T h e nominations were closed. T h e next day, five minutes before Assembly, Miss Rosetta Stone announced the results. "This week," she said, "we have our first W o m a n Speaker of t h e Assembly!" And her eyes were merry (for was she n o t a woman herself?) T h e first Woman Speaker of the Assembly m o u n t e d the stairs to the stage a n d proudly Introduced Miss Slotkin. T h e n she led the O a t h of Allegiance. Her eyes shone a n d her lips quivered a s she shouted, (in a patriotic fervor,i "I PLEDGE A LEGION T O T H E FLAG O F T H E UNITED STATES, AND T O T H E R E P U B L I C O F R I C H A R D SANDS. ONE NATION AND A VEGETABLE . . ." Holding her gently by the hnir, Miss Minnie Slotkin removed Hepzibah from t h e stage. T h e next week the girls of t h e Third Grade retired p e r m a n e n t l y from public life. Politics, they decided, was a man's game after all. College Calendar FRIDAY, NOVEMBER U 11:00 A.

Campus Coeds Considered Charming, CooperafiVe,,Cufe Do Union and RPI men prefer college or non-college girls for their dates? What do they think of the Skldmore, Sage, Albany State and Vassar coeds as date material? Monday night on Campus Review men from RPI and Union aired their feelings on the above topic. Cheer up girls and let that light shine forth from your eyes! They are very much In favor of the coed as a companion for an evening of fun I Why? Well, it seems that the average college girl is more friendly, definitely a better conversationalists, broader minded and note: they have a definite sense of cooperation. A girl's personality counted more than beauty, but the fellows do not care to get stuck with "Lena the Hyena". It seemed that Union liked Skidmore best because it is their "sister college," but mainly because the girls are more friendly. (The master of ceremonies preferred the Vassar Girls!) Moose Attends Science Meeting A t Columbia U Dr. Carleton A. Moose, Assistant Professor and Supervisor in science, attended the Conference on Education of Teachers in Science at the Teachers College of Columbia University Friday and Saturday, November 15, 16. The Eastern Zone of the New York State Association will h^ld its conference in the Lounge at 10:00 A.M. tomorrow. There were representatives from colleges from Maine to Alabama at the conference at Columbia. This was the first conference held since the outbreak of the war. Before the war there were two conferences held yearly, one In the spring and the other in the fall. One of these is always held at Columbia, the other being held at some other college campus In the northeastern U. S, Although the general purpose of this first conference was that of re-organization, the main purpose of all of these conferences is teacher science education. The spring conference of 1947 will be held either in Trenton, New Jersey or in the District of Columbia. There were two main speeches, one concerning the peacetime uses of atomic energy, and the other on the medical and physiological uses of atomic radiations which dealt with the biological effects of the radiations. The National Society for the Study of Education will publish its 46th issue which will discuss science education. Professor H. Emmett Brown, of Buffalo College gave a report on the new science building which Buffalo College is undertaking. It was announced tnat a Field Conference will be held at Plymouth College June 9-July 4 for anyone who is interested in the field sciences. Last summer this conference was held at Bard College. In regard to the ranking of State College with other colleges in Science Education, Dr. Moose said, "Our program compares very favorably Willi the programs of other colleges represented at the meeting. I think our people have a much better background in straight science," At the Eastern Zone Conference of New York State Teachers Association, Dr. Moose will report on the progress of the committee on curriculum improvements in New York Stale, which i.s financed by the General Electric Company. Dr. Carl Guthe, Director of the State Museum, will speak on the educational services offered by the museum. Mr. E. J. Christie, Chief Meteorologist of the United States Weather Bureau In Albany, will discuss air moss in weather forecasting. Dr. Oscar E. Lanford, Mead of the Chemistry Department, will speak on "Valence Type and Properties of Hydrogen Compounds." OTTO R. MENDE THE COLLKOB JEWELED 103 CENTRAL AVE. Signum Laudis Elects Members T-. I \J f^-^-,— -!."— f.iif/M* Vw/i Q O n / Z Q l / O n ^ Thirteen additional members of the Class of 1947 have been elected to Signum Laudis, the honorary scholastic fraternity composed of those Seniors who rank among the highest ten per cent of their class In academic standing. Announcement of these new members was made in assembly last Friday by Dr. John M. Sayles, President of the college, These thirteen members, together with ten named last spring, constitute 8 per cent of the Senior Class. The new members are Joan Alverson, Edward Cohen, Ettore Gradoni, Dorothy Hladik, Justine Lewis, Gloria Pirowski, Rosalie Pooler, Ruth Reynolds, Alan Stone, Mary Tessier, Warren Walker, Helen Ziembic, and Calvin Zippen. List last year's nominees Those who were named last spring were Ruth Bently, Thelma Carlson, Helen Caughran, Gertrude Casper Girvin, Shirley Knights, Elizabeth Margot, Elizabeth McDowell, Doris Quinn, Charlotte Roscoe, and Herbert Weiner. The Signum Laudis Scholarship prize of $20 is awarded annually to the Senior with the highest scholastic average, this student automatically becoming the president of the society for the next year. This year the prize went to Thelma Carlson, whose average is 2.89. A reception for the new members was held in the library at Van Derzee Hall last night from 7:30 to 9 P. M. Exhibit To Feature Plant Drawings La Plante Exotique, a collection of reproductions of drawings and paintings of foreign plants by the French artist, Mathurin Meheut, will be on display the week of December 2 on the second floor of Draper. Ruth Hutchins, Head of the Art Department, will arrange the exhibit. Mt. Meheut, a naturalist as well as an artist, travelled a great deal and studied plants from all parts of the earth. Many paintings of the plants he studied were compiled in this collection. Among these are paintings of the bamboo of Indochina, India and Japan, the dasylirlon of Mexico, the philodendron of Brazil, and the yucca of Texas and Mexico. All the paintings are vivid in coloring and represented in detail. This exhibition will be valuable to both botany students and art students, according to Miss HutchIns, Botany students, who are interested in the study of foreign and tropical plants, have the opportunity to see representations of many rare plants whose pictures are seldom found In the textbooks. State-Mini There was many a blue expression in Syracuse last weekend as the Colgate Red Raiders reigned supreme after their annual game there. Syracuse, definitely the favorite follow ing their victory over Cornell the week before, bowed their heads and came back to earth again. With only a few more games left in this year's gridiron season the eyes of sport fans are already turning to the New Year's day classics. The Orange Bowl committee hopes to be able to present an Army game, but it will not be known definitely untll after Thanksgiving whether the Cadets will accept. If so, Army's opponents will probably be either Georgia Tech or Tennessee. Speaking of sports, a varsity basketball team is being formed at Commuter s Club Will Select '50 Executive Board Audrey Bopp, '47, President of Commuters' Club has announced that nominations are open for two freshmen members of Executive Board. These nominations are to be made and voted upon by the freshmen in Commuters' Club.

No, it's not the ladies in the spotlight this time. It's their new masculine section ready to take their share of glory along with the feminine populace. Looking to the social side of the picture I notice that the freshman class at Brockfort State Teachers College is already making plans for its Christmas formal. The Sophs are R\<M basking in the glory of a very sucsessful dungaree dande a short while ago. It seems State isn't the 0 nlf place to go rustic with its informal dances, Now for the lighter side of the picture here's an item from The St. Bona Venture: "There are three classes of women, the intellectual, the beautiful and the majority." Obituary Kilroy is dead, or at least so reports the "Daily Texan." It seems that Kilroy was enrolled at the University of Minnesota under the G. I. Bill but one day he met his death, trampled under the saddle shoes of a surge of co-eds leaving class. Minnesota students said of him that he was "one who had made his mark in the world, whose signature is more familiar than that of John Hancock." Kilroy was buried on the campus with these words marking his grave. "Kilroy is here." Facts and Figures The Chicago Teachers College paper, The Tempo, recently published an editorial discussing teacher salaries in Chicago as compared with other cities. Here are a few of the statistics: Starting grammar school teachers there earn $1850 as compared with a starting pay of $2310 in Los Angeles; maximum elementary school salary, Chicago—$2850, St. Louis—$4100; high school maximum, Chicago—$3950, New York—$4850, Newark—$5200. This being Junior weekend we are naturally interested to note that proms are being held elsewhere this month. At the University of Rochester fourteen contestants competed for Junior prom queen last weekend, the men going to the poles Friday to vote for the lady of greatest pulchritude. Tomorrow night it's our own Junior prom with dancing till 2 A.M. to the music of Bll Hannon, his clarinet, and his orchestra. Then too, there's a square dance and a real old-fashioned hayride tonight to really put you in a mellow mood. And then too there are two whole days to recover before Thanksgiving vacation appears on the scene. H. F, Honikel & Son Pharmacists E8T1BUSHED IOOB PHONE 4-2030 157 CENTRAL AVE. ALBANY, N. Y.

W A A Starts Modern Dancing CENTRAL Ikrber Shop <7/te SfuvtU SttOOfX Noting the lack of interest in the proposed intra-mural basketball league we set about to try to ascertain what were the reasons. We asked a few Statesmen what was their opinion on the plan to organize the league on a departmental basis in hopes that we could find out just what the men wanted. Here are their comments and suggestions: Terho: "It works better to have the fellows make up their own teams rather than have MAA organize the teams." K. Merritt: "The Departmental set-up will work only if everyone cooperates." Schick: "The departmental plan is a stupid one. Use the method used in the football league." Gipp: "The fellows have been waiting three years to play together. Under the departmental plan they will not be able to do so." R. Sullivan: "Will not operate for the success of a competitive and interest league." Lang': "The departmental plan is a good idea and should work." McGrath: "There would be lack of organization in a departmental setup. I suggest the football league plan be used." L. Taylor: "I think the departmental plan is definitely workable because newcomers as well as the majority of the men will have a chance to play." •I. King: "I don't see any advantage in the departmental plan since there is little choice with wliom you will play. Karpiak: "I think the class and group team plan is better than the departmental plan. One thing in favor of the latter plan is that the fellows would probably know the others in their departments well." Southard: "I think all should sign up and the teams be picked from this list to be of as nearly equal strength as possible." George: "It (the departmental plan) doesn't seem to be attracting much interest." Hippick: "The departmental plan seems to be a more just method of organizing the teams than a plan such as the football league method." Tucker: "I am definitely opposed to the proposed plan. I think it would be better for fellows to pick I heir own teams." McNamara: "Put me down as vehemently opposed to the plan in question. It is unworkable. Fellows will not go all out for a department team." Amyot: "I'm against the proposed plan. Men aren't evenly distributed In the departments." Bottomley: "I think the class teams are better than departmental teams." Ilolstcin: "Will work in some departments but it seems to me there is a better system to be found." P.S. "Ernle-the-Hennit refused to comment." Summary: Of 23 interviewed, 17 expressed their disapproval, while (i were in favor of the plan. GOOD FOOD M A A Plans Gaqmy Qammenii Hoop Scrimmage, Talk And Rally John Dooley, '47, publicity director of MAA, has announced that a pep rally will be held in the Page Hall gym on Wednesday, December 4. This rally will mark the unofficial opening of the State College basketball season as members of the Varsity and Junior Varsity appear for the first time as working units. Coach Hathaway will give the welcoming speech followed by a short talk on the minor changes which have occurred in the game this year. The finer points of the game will be outlined and explained —giving a clearer understanding of the teamwork and co-ordination needed to produce a fast-moving and high-scoring team. The members of the Varsity and Junior Varsity will be introduced, after which Student Association cheerleaders will lead the student body in cheers and song. In conclusion, a short scrimmage will be played by members of the teams, a scrimmage that will bear the fruits of a long, hard period of practice. It is hoped that there will be a large turnout for the pep rally and that the old State College spirit of the past will once again resound through-out the walls of Page Hall. Play Volleyball In Mittens Or It's Getting Cold Early Briskly blew the blustry breeze and nine nifty (?), nonsensical frosh frivolously froze, foolishly trying to top the time-tested SOPHS. (That twisted the tounge terrifically.) Seventeen to nothing, frosh favor—that was the score—when the Soph stars unleased the pentup power which they had held in reserve while the frosh optimistically held visions of victory. Two, four, six, eight—up mounted the Soph score as they held the unwitty frosh from further scoring. Seventeen to seventeen, tension tightened, 21-21, score still static. Then the skillful Sophs stopped the playful parly and batted the ball with vivacious vigor to score twice in succession. It was another Sophomore victory as the bewildered blue beanies bowed in decisive defeat. (Written by an unprejudiced Soph) P.S. In case anyone's interested, the frosh theoritically won the game having held the Sophs to an 11-0 shut-out. With football slowly fading from the sports limelight, basketball is beginning to be the center of interest. Evidences of this fact we noted in the sports columns of the local dailies with the announcement that professional basketball is to get under way as early as next week. Also emerging from the obscure corners of the sports sheet to take a "front and center" is news of area college cage teams. Siena Stacked Our scout reports that Siena with a varsity squad of twenty-eight, more than half of which are experienced performers, is showing classy form in its scrimmages. The Loundonville quintet are using the "zone" defense almost exclusively and with an abundance of six-footers will be a tough evenings assignment for any college five to tackle. Union has a veteran squad and judging from early reports, are sure to have a crack team. Trojans Moving over to Troy we find RPI hard at work to win back the basketball prestige it enjoyed in prewar days. A tough schedule is on tap for the Engineers but reports from Troy Indicate that they are pointing for a big season. State Faces Union Back home we find an aggressive, hard-working squad eager to give State a worthy representation In its fast-approaching cage season. Coach Hathaway has been experimenting with a "set" defense but is hampered by lack of height. Daily scrimmage sessions have been lengthened to prepare the squad for a practice scrimmage with Union at Schenectady, slated for late this week. Coach Hathaway has been using a first squad made up of Marsland, Evans, Marzello, George and O'Brien against several combinations in an effort to get a smoothworking and high-scoring starting five. Merrit Jayvee Coach In a move to improve the Junior Varsity squad by personal supervision Coach Hathaway appointed Paul Merritt, a grad student, to the post of Jayvee coach. The Jayvee squad have shown enthusiasm for and eagerness to cooperate with their new mentor.
