Wherein Lies The Fault?
By JIM BROPHY
A college is in a fine state of affairs when a
student cannot arrange his schedule until the middle of the semester because his previous teachers
have not had the time to correct his prerequisite
course exams. We are taught in Education courses
that there is such a thing as mental fatigue. We
see around us proof of it.
This Reporter is given the widest latitude as author
of this column, although hie viewpoints do not necessarily reflect
those of the STATI COIAMM NBWB.
We welcome the opportunity to make a rew comments as part of the Junior Issue by the class of '49.
Settling down again after the toil and turmoil of
final exams, we would like to leave these thoughts
with you.
CROWDED LIBRARY CONDITIONS
You well remember the crowded conditions In the
library this past semester. And we refer not only to
the exam period crowding, but to the state of confusion that has existed in the library during first semester. Of course, with the larger enrollment, the library
Is In greater demand. Many students use the library
as a study hall rather than as a referance room with
the result that other students who wish to make use
of the reference material are unable to do so.
Considering this undesirable condition, we are wondering if the Lounge could not be used as a study
hall—student conference room. If those desks, piled
high in the annex, were placed along the left wall
of the Lounge, away from the main fire place section,
they could be put to a more practical use and, at the
same time, alleviate the present crowded condition in
the library. We are sure that this would not interfere
with evening programs in the Lounge as the desks
would be out of the way of the activity going on in
the Lounge.

State endeavors to return to the
win column when they engage Oswego State Teachers tomorrow at
Oswego. The Varsity will be gunning for their fourth win, with a
record to date of three wins in
sever, games.
Oswego was victorious in both
games with State last year. The
first game could have gone either
way, State on the short end of a
51-49 score. The second game was
not as close, Oswego copping the
game by a 53-37 score.
January 10th saw State drop a
88-44 decision to Hamilton. Minus
two players, the team was not at
full strength. Also, the game was
played immediately on arrival, with
no chance to rest up after the
trip. "Sy" Fersh paced the State
scoring with seven buckets and
three free throws for a seventeen
point total.
A rangy Maritime Academy team
invaded Page Kail January 16th
and downed the Statesmen, 63-40.
Walt Schick and Tom O'Brien took
top scoring honors for the home
team with eight points apiece.
The following day the Purple
and Gold travelled to Flattsburg
and dropped a close low-scoring
game, 31-29. It was strictly an off
night, State having defeated Plattsburg by 21 points in a game earlier
this season. Kenny George sank
three field goals and two fouls to
pase State's scoring.
