Health Division
Will Schedule
X-ray Program
According to President Evan R.
Collins, the State Health Department will take a chest X-ray of
all members'of the college, including students, faculty and staff, beginning February 8 and continuing
through February 11.
A complete schedule will appear
in the next edition of the News.
' The X-rays will be scheduled to
interfere as little as possible with
class apppintments; however, in
case of a conflict, the X-ray appointment will take precedence.
This program is part of a statewide effort made annually throughout schools and colleges, to discover
initial traces of such diseases as
tuberculosis.
Students will receive post-card
reports from the State Health Department approximately one month
after the X-rays, indicating whether
the X-rays were positive or negative.
The Faculty Senate of the State
University of New York held its
first meeting in Albany on December 15. Townsend Rich, Professor
of English, represented State College at this assembly.

Health, attended the State University Driver Education Curriculum
Conference in Syracuse on December 18 and 19.

Nation's Schools.
Dr. Collins, President of the College, spoke at the State College
Alumni Dinner for Secondary School
Principals in Syracuse on December

A new exhibit is currently on
display along the second floor corridor of Draper Hall, according to
Ruth E. Hutchins, Assistant Professor of Art. The exhibit includes
designs by students in Art 4, the
class in Fundamentals of Art. It
also includes original projects by
students taking Art 13, which is
the class in Mechanical Drawing.
These displays will be on view
until January 14, when the class in
Art 6, a course in Design in Visual
Aids for Teaching, will put up individual projects for bulletin boards.
The Art 4 course features basic
training in drawing, design, and
composition.
It further includes
structure in lettering, and the poster; object, figure, and outdoor
sketching. The Art 13 includes
work with drafting instruments and
training in page layout and lettering; pattern making; and translation of three dimensional forms into

Redefinition
Article seven, section two, item (b) of the
State College Student Association Constitution states that one of the duties of
Myskania shall be "In open court to try
individuals who are charged with having
violated a regulation. These individuals or
organizations shall be brought before Myskania by the organization charged with
enforcing the regulation which has been
violated." In the past, Myskania has not
taken full advantage of this duty, due
mainly to lack of enforcement methods.
Tuesday evening, Myskania was approached by the college Administration
with a suggestion that would redefine this
latent duty of the judicial branch of our
government. The suggestion in brief would
entail the formation of an honor code
among our student body. Myskania would
act in its judiciary capacity with the cooperation of the administration and campus
organizations. This redefinition of duties
would expand Myskania power to judge on
moral questions such as the examination
problem which arose last year and was
handled by both Myskania and the college
administration. The proposed honor court
would have the cooperation of the administration in the enforcement of penalties
ranging from limited use of the school Commons to expulsion from college.
We consider this suggestion as a step
forward in the growth of our college. It
represents the opening of channels that
would lead to the maturation of studentfaculty and administration-faculty relations. However, several questions remain
unanswered in our minds: Does a body
such as Myskania have the right to infringe
upon individual freedoms such as the rights
now exercised by Judicial Board and Intersorority Council? Would such an "honor
system" lead to more mature behavior on
the part of the students or would it lead to
a rebellion against an omnipotent, ubiquitous authority?
A straw vote at the Tuesday evening
meeting brought a unanimous decision
from Myskania that revealed their interest
and approval of the suggestion.

RESURGAM
With the new semester well upon us, we, the above
signed procrastinators, have dug up all the old resolutions designed to keep us from neglecting everything
until Mid-Sem time. We don't really think that will
work for us, but you might try them yourself. These
resolutions run something like this: I will do all
assignments on time; if a term paper is due on the
twenty-fourth, I will not start it on the twenty -third;
I will get eight hours sleep, three balanced meals, and
fifteen minutes of vigorous physical activity every day.
We do resolve, however, to make this column the best
we can, stating our opinions on current problems.
Perhaps we'll even buy a dictionary to keep up the
learned tradition of the column.

The method to the .supposed madness of the people supporting the
recently passed bill designed to discontinue the compulsory assembly
attendance rule seeims to many of
us simply a desire on the part of
the student body to Improve and
modernize our school government.
The main issue that was involved
In the motion, as presented, was
solely the desire to discontinue
compulsory attendance at assembly
sessions.
There are those who would have
it believed that the proponents of
this motion automatically
and
whole-heartedly, as if in some foul
plot, accept and recommend a substitute form of government of a
specific type. Is it even necessary
to go into the facts regarding this?
There arc those of us who desire
and recommend a new government
—there are those of us who do not!
That desire on the part of a few
individuals to condemn the whole
issue by adding confusion to confusion and seeding doubt by misrepresentation within I lie minds of
the student body, i.s not only a
poorly chosen leaning, but one which
will not stand up when Its rather
specious arguments are studied.
The reason that the question of
representative government came up
at all, was that Myskania felt that
there was a chance of the student
body's not attending assembly unless compelled to do so. This, they
feared would leave the school without a functioning government. I
believe, and have believed all along,
that this is tin unnecessary precaution, us the Individual integrity of
the student has enough to it, to
maintain satisfactory assembly attendance. Unfortunately, some peo-

apathy in recent years. A disgusted representative
from the All-College Revue told the meeting that all
attempts to find volunteers to direct the Revue had
failed. Council members were able to produce no
ideas for the salvation of the show except to suggest
that faculty members be approached to help. This
last idea, of course, was completely out of the question,
so Council voted to cancel the Revue this year. That,
apparently, is that. Obviously the committee and
Student Council (except, perhaps the absent representatives! are not to blame. The blame rests squarely
on the apathy of the student body as a whole. Most
of us seem perfectly willing to watch someone else
work, but this marks the limit of our interest and
work. This applies not only to All-College Revue, but
to the other extra-curricular activities as well. If we
could feel that the extra time were spent on studies,
we would not complain. That, of course, is obviously
not the case. There has been no great rise In the
scholastic performance. In the past, the Junior class
has always contributed the leadership for student activities. The Juniors, after all, have the benefit ol
two years of college experience while they don't have
to meet the heavy responsibilities of the Seniors. We
can't help feeling that this spirit of leadership is
lacking, in the present Junior class. Meanwhile, we
have no major student production this year. This is
particularly saddening to those of us who have enjoyed
watching and taking part in past productions.
TRAGEDY
It i.s to be expected that exam time will bring a
certain amount of emotional stress and strain. However, we were sorry to hear that the strain of the last
exam period seemed to cause such a large number ol
drop-outs, particularly among freshmen, before ll even
arrived. We are not sure, frankly, where the solution
to this problem lies. Certainly we don't, advocate a
lowering of the academic standards. It would seem,
however, that people who are having difficulty should
be able to get experienced guidance somewhere at the
college. Often, a great deal of help can be given b\
upperclassmen, but many freshmen do not come in
close enough contact witii anyone but other freshmen
to make this help possible. This points up I he danger
inherent in having so many all-freshmen dormitories.
Yet these conditions have existed in the past without
these tragic results. We do not think that someone
should hold the hand of each frosh to guide him on
the path of scholarship, but, neither do we like to see
such a large part of the new class give up in despair
We have become quite concerned with tills matter, and
will discuss it again in this column as soon as we gel
mure information.

Committee Reveals Lack
O r Material, Director
In A Letter To Council
In Student Council this week
Frederick Crumb '54, chairman of
the All-College Revue Committee
presented a letter reporting on the
Revue, which was scheduled to be
presented April 2 and 3.
The letter revealed that only two
tentative scripts had been submitted for consideration before the
deadline date, January 8, and one
was turned in a week later.
The committee stated that two
people had been appointed to act
as director, but had declined the
position for various reasons. The
members of the committee canvassed everybody who could be considered but found no one who was
able and willing. In view of this
fact, Crumb requested Student
Council to cancel the Revue.
Robert Betscha '56 suggested that
one of the faculty members in the
English department be requested
to help. This idea was turned down
by members of Student Council
who argued that such productions
always have been and will continue
to be student undertakings.
Robert Coan '55 moved that
Council abandon all plans for the
All-College Revue this year. There
was no discussion following this
•.notion which was passed py a vote
of 9-3,
Crumb suggested that the material already gathered for the Revue be used as part of the skits for
the Movlng-Up Day program. He
also suggested that Council start
planning this spring for next year's
Revue. According to this plan, the
show would be cast, written and
presented before second semester
uf next year.

and passed unanimously by Council.
Robert. Betscha '56, with a second
by William Small, Sophomore Class

budget, discussion on the All-College

reported that instead of a trophy
case, it has been recommended that
college trophies might be placed
along the shelves of the fireplace
and bookshelves of the Lounge.
