DeGarmo Judges Potatoes,
Competes In National Contest
Farmers are not the only ones
to judge potatoes. Students do
it, too. In fact, one of State's
students is quite superior at it.
Lindley DeGarmo '50, came out
first in last year's contest for
prize potato judgers, and fifth
in this year's contest.
He doesn't just judge spuds,
though. He can actually tell you,
just from glancing at the eyes
(of the potato, that is) whether
that particular apple of the
ground is a sharp Long Islander,
or whether it is native Californian.
DeGarmo is connected with
the vegetable department of the
4-H club, r u n know, heat,
hunger, horror, and hollandaise).
That's where he got his learning.
DeGarmo is now taking part
in a national contest for judging vegetables in Detroit, Michigan. He is on one of two teams
competing in the contest representing New York State.

The Greek Situation
Criticism of both the fraternities and sororities
in general and of their intolerance and rushing
systems in particular has been steadily increasing.
It would seem that certain groups are receiving
undue criticism for an existing situation which is
certainly no fault of theirs. The restricted membership policies in effect today were originated
about twenty years ago when State College was
not the progressive, tolerant college it is today.
Because of the discrimination at that time, fraternities and sororities were organized in direct
opposition to each other. The active chapters are
aware of the changes in attitude since that time
and have endeavored to remedy the situation. They
have not found it easy, however, to convince the
original founders, who, in many cases, are the most
active alumni, that things are not the the same
and that times necessitate a change. Representatives from local chapters of national fraternities
have appeared at the national conventions to fight
for the removal of the discrimination clause but,
to date, they have not been successful.
The important thing is that the active members
are trying to make the change but the change, of
necessity, will be gradual.
Interfraternity Council plans to have a meeting
in the very near future to discuss the insertion of
a clause, concerning the postponement of bidding,
in the Inter-fraternity Council constitution. If the
plan goes through, and there is every indication
that it will, freshmen men will not receive bids
until sometime before spring recess.
If the sororities will follow the lead, State College will be well rid of the intensified rushing system. The crowded schedules of the students of this
college will not permit constant rushing from September to March and by prolonging it, the rushing
will be gradual and better for all concerned. Sorority women and freshmen will be given the opportunity to really KNOW each other instead of
being forced to judge on a false basis which has
been the case in the past.
Let's face it! The situation has needed to be
remedied for a long time. Action is in order!

Last week in assembly, a plea was made for
Christmas presents for the children at the Albany
Home. Cartons were placed in the corridors by the
members of Myskania and the various age groups
were published in last week's NEWS,
Less than one week remains before the party at
the home and the cartons are far from overflowing,
We're not asking the impossible this time.
Fifteen minutes of your time and fifty cents of
your money is very little when it is measured in
terms of the bang those kids get out of opening
your presents.
And if you'd like to get a little of the Vuletide
spirit before attending the Christmas parties at
the group houses, come to the party and see for
yourself,

2. T h e m a n a g e r would be on a fiat salary basis.
No commission or profits deal.
3. Administration a n d policy would be determined
by a council composed of s t u d e n t subscribers with

THE I M P O R T A N T I S S U E
If you don't think t h a t t h e frat-sorority question
is a n i m p o r t a n t one, m a k e sure you read this week's
Letter to the Editor. T h e r e are three solutions; remove t h e organizations from campus, form new organizations, or increase t h e present membership. T h e
h u m a n desire for organization m a k e the first impractical. New organizations would probably increase
t h e present financial problems. The third iooks best.
More people would be t a k e n care of, thereby decreasing the "left out" h u r t a n d it would bolster the weakened finances t h a t the sororities in particular are
now feeling.
T h a t frat and sorority members a r e aware of the
defects is shown in this week's editorial and Mike
Capuano's letter of last week. More active individual
interest will help clear up the question and benefit
the entire school. On t h e other h a n d . . .
. . . the sororities deserve a pat on the back for
their buffet suppers a n d formal dinners. These affairs, t h a t end t h e much criticized rushing period,
are indications of t h e cooperation and enjoyment t h a t
sororities can provide.
Merry C h r i s t m a s and we'll see you all next year.

around him, a n t i c i p a t i n g a n o t h e r

warm fire glowed in t h e fireplace,
and a fresh supply of both lettuce
and carrots beckoned to all in a
nearby bowl. I t w a s a comfortable

"He should be a model to all of
you, my children ( T h e r e were thirty-four little rabbits sitting around
t h e tire t h a t n i g h t . , . He w a s a picture of industry. While going to
school in Troy, he won t h r e e letters
in Varsity sports, was elected president of his Sophomore class and
again of his Senior class. Not only
that, he worked as h a r d as Bre'r
Beaver outside of school hours. Yes,
he was no loafer. After school he
worked behind a soda fountain, and
on weekends, he set up pins in a
bowling alley.
"Then he went to war. You children are too young to know what
war is, because in the animal world,
war was outlawed m a n y years ago.
He came out of the war still in one
piece, and still with his sense of
humor, his personality, his friendliness intact.

Express Company
Establishes Plan
To Aid Students
The establishment of a new Educational Travel Division by the American Express Company, to aid
faculty members and students who
contemplate traveling abroad to
study in foreign universities, has
been announced by Ralph T. Reed,
company president.
The new division gives advice on
scholastic requirements, academic
calendar and dormitory space, and
answers other questions regarding
universities in 36 countries throughout the world.
In addition, students who travel
abroad during their vacations can
receive from the new Educational
Travel Division valuable aid on
where their most educational trip
lies.
The information was gathered
through the help of the colleges
concerned, the Institute of International Education, the Veterans Administration, and foreign consulates. A brochure, "To Study Abroad"
has been prepared and is available
at any office of the company.
Hurry, Buy Your Bid Today
For The Christmas Blowout
Hurry . . . Hurry . . . Hurry!
This is your last chance to go
to the Christmas Formal and
perhaps to get a date. If you
can't get a girl (or fellow, as
the case may be) why, just ask
the first person you bump into
today. Don't bump too hard or
they may not trust you on a
dance floor. If they say "NO"
then ask the second person.
What's the matter, are you
proud?
Don't be so grossly schmo-ish
as to say that you can't dance.
Anybody can. Or at least everybody makes a poor attempt. If
you're too weary after a long
week of classroom drudgery,
you can always find a quiet corner to nap in. You don't have
to stay long, anyway.
What! You don't have three
dollars? That's silly—everyone
has three dollars at some tinie
during their lives, and now happens to be the time.
And you're so lucky! There
just happens to be a few bids
left, and they saved them for
you alone.
