Russian Troops Silence
Hungary s Freedom Bid
By JOHN YAGER
T h e brave people of Hungary have been defeated
in their present bid for freedom. Two weeks ago, they
started a n armed revolt for independence which a t
first was quite successful. T h e Hungarians ousted
their governmental officials and installed I m r e Nagy
as Premier. Hungary for t h e first time in over a
decade had come alive. The streets of Budapest were
crowded with jubilant Hungarians. T h e jubilation
lasted only twelve days.
Russia did not intend to let t h e people of Hungary
remain free. Early one morninsr, Russian troops and
tanks swarmed over t h e country. T h e valiant people of Hungary resisted their enemy, but to n o avail.
There was fierce fighting, b u t finally t h e patriots
succumbed to t h e Russian power. T h e only active
resistance against Russian arms is on Csepel Island
in t h e Danube. There, three thousand workers a r e
still holdinj out against Soviet oppressors.
The Soviet military might installed J n n o s K a d a r
as Premier. Ex-Premier Nagy took refuge in t h e
Yugoslav Embassy. Reports from Hungary have indicated t h a t Nagy will n o t cooperate with t h e new
government. Without h i s cooperation, t h e K a d a r
government is going to have a difficult time trying
to retain order.
Although t h e Hungarians have lost this bid for
freedom, they haven't lost the will to fight back.

COLLEGE
NEWS,
FRIDAY,
NOVEMBER
30,
The master tailor, in fashioning a suit of
clothes, attempts to weave various threads
into his work which will, when completed,
be admired by all as an example of his
craftsmanship.
This college may be likened to a tailor
at his work. It attempts, through a wide
range of courses, to weave a final product
which will be admired by all —a good
teacher. In its work, the college uses three
basic threads. First, realizing that a wellrounded teacher's education must be wide
in scope, it offers a program of liberal education. The second thread used is what is
commonly known as the "major-minor"
field. This thread gives a student the opportunity to select and study the subjects
he wishes eventually to teach. The third,
the professional thread, is composed of
Education courses which enable a student
to acquire the mechanics and philosophy
of his chosen career.
These three threads are individually important, but "when they are strongly woven
together they become the work of a craftsman, for then the student has gained total
education.
This Tuesday and continuing for two
more weeks, Freshman Orientation will
deal with State's Education courses, the
third thread. We urge the members of the
Class of 1960 to take an active interest in
these meetings, for your future success as
a teacher will depend to a large extent on
what you derive from these courses. Some
may underestimate the value of Education
courses, but when their time comes to practice teach, they will quickly realize their
error.
You have, in your three short months
here, acquired the first two threads. It is
now your job, and your job alone, to become familiar with the third, and to start
working for that important final p r o d u c t total education.
J.A.S.
Within each college generation there
comes a need to re-state the results of a
former year's discussion. Inter-Fraternity
Council was confused about the proper formula for wine, women and freshmen.
After intelligent and mature discussion,
Inter-Fraternity Council decided that a t
parties held a t the fraternity house when
women were present liquor was not to be
served. This same prohibitive ruling was
made concerning rush parties for freshmen.
When most freshmen come to college they
are not experienced and mature in their
attitude concerning liquor. At rush parties
upperclassmen want to impress the freshmen. Consequently there is the danger of
over-indulgence in alcoholic refreshment.
A logical continuation of this topic is the
use of alcohol at recognized social functions
"The arm, Miss Key! The arm!'
of the college. The primary purpose of
these functions is for students to have a
chance to talk socially, to dance and to enjoy a program of entertainment. Drinking
is of secondary importance to some and of
no importance to others. If a student just
wants to drink he wouldn't buy a ticket to

without this added expense. Therefore, it

COLLEGE
By MARY
In looking backward at the end
of the student teaching experience,
most of us tend to spend a little
time in wondering why we reacted
the way we did in this somewhat
strange and enormous task. All of
us came to NYSCT four years ago
pretty much in the same boat. We
were high school students, but in
no way
trained
or
conditioned,
scholastically or psychologically, to
be classroom teachers. And yet most
of us, during the professional semester, were respected and
fairly
capable members of our high school
faculties, off campus and on. The
obvious question, then, is this: what
elements of our preparation here
helped us to gain the necessary
equipment to move from our adolescent unipreparedness to the adult
understanding of adolescents which
has made us capable of teaching
them?
Of course, a great deal of this
change in us during our four years
of college is wrought by years. The
college years give us so much of
poise and initiative. Then too, intense concentration in one or two
chosen areas make us more expert
in handling subject matter. But we
teach neither poise nor content. We
teach children through both.
It seems to me that the logical
basis for skill in a profession would
be professional education. Let's look
at Education 20 and 21.
The major area of concentration
in Education 20 is the philosophy of
our American
Education
system,
while Education 21 is concerned
largely
with
the
psychology
of
adolescents and of learning. Both of

Survey
Of
Middle East Nations
Shows Few Gains For Russia
By DONALD DAMP.
Much has been said and written
of Russia's influence among Middle
East nations. Just what is the lineup? Is she the dominant figure she
is supposed to be? When we speak
of the Middle East nations, we are
usually talking about Turkey, Iran,
Iraq, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Israel,
Egypt. Syria, and Jordan. The Western powers have a definite interest
in the productive oil fields in these
countries.
Turkey, an ally of the Western
nations, is the eastern member of
NATO. Its army of 500,000 men is
the best in the area. Turkey is a
secularized Moslem nation and is
very friendly to the U. S. The nation has a population of 24,110,000,
and tends to side with Britain over
the Cyprus dispute. Turkey has no
love for Nasser's government because Nasser opened the door to
Russia in the Middle East.
Iran Favors West
Iran, with a population of 21,146,000, is a Moslem state — not an
Arab state. The country's premier
is a former
ambassador
to the
U. S. and is our
good
friend.
The Shah has firm control of his
country. On a recent trip to tlie
Kremlin he ably defended his country's membership in the anti-Communist Baghdad Pact. American officers help train the army and Americans also advise different
departments of the government. Iran
usually does side with the Arab nations,' but
intensely disliked
the
nationalization of tlie Canal.
Iraq is the sole Arab member ol

these are fields t h a t students cannot know much about.
When I
found myself in a little farming
community sixty miles off campus,
I was very glad to know t h a t the
first job of a teacher is to perpetuate the culture of the society which
founds the school.
So many questions come up every
day in relation to marking, promotion or grouping, that a personal
philosophy of education is a must
for any kind of realistic handling
of this problem. Education 20 with
its informal airing of many different viewpoints, is the ideal place
to come up with a fairly clear idea
of what our schools should do for
our kids.
Of real, though secondary, importance to us as student teachers
is an understanding of the communities we have been placed in. Education 20 comes to the rescue again
by teaching us how to evaluate a
community's resources.
I think most of us found our relationship with students the most
enjoyable part of student teaching.
We found
them very
refreshing,
creative, fun loving and unpredictable, but we coped with them fairly
successfully for two reasons. First
of all, most of us, by our very nature, like to work with children. But
cnore important, Education 21 did
a fine job of keeping us in touch
with adolescents and increasing our
understanding
of them. Through
study of adolescent psychology, the
psychology of learning, and the physical, social and emotional development of children, we became aware
of the needs which these children
find
so difficult
to
understand
themselves. We learned
to treat
them as individuals and evaluate
them on the Basis of their individual development toward adulthood.
Lebanon, with a population of 1,425,000, is the smallest Arab country. Officially, Lebanon is pro-U. S.
Even more important, the observaIt is the only Arab nation which has

with Britain and France.
Saudi Arabia has a population of
approximately 7,000,000. King Saud,
the most absolute ruler in the world,
is strongly anti-Communist. He is
definitely pro-U. S., relying for 90';
of his total revenue on oil from the
American owned Arabian American
Oil Company. Saud is a Nasser ally,
but he doesn't approve of the nationalization of the Canal because
he feels that it will endanger his
oil profits. Saud also dislikes Nasser's dealings with the Russians.
It comes as a brutal blow to most
student teachers during t h a t fatal
first week that high school students, so close to us in age, are so
different
in behavior. We forget
that it is impossible for ninth graders to sit still for an hour. We can't
believe that a seventh grader must
sharpen her pencil seven times in
one study hall. We are unaware ol
the behind-the-scenes
conferences
which go on every day for the welfare of individual children.
Israel Out Of Favor
Much of the insight into children
cocnes with time. Be thankful for
what you do know about children
and remember, though you may not
realize it, most of what we do know
about our students come from Education 20 and 21.
Israel has a population of 1,748,000.
One-third of its government
expenditures come from U. S. private and public funds. France is presently her closest ally because of
their equal dislike of the Arabs.
Russia recently withdrew its ambassador to Israel. Also they sent
her an uncomplimentary note questioning her "existence" as a state.
Israel stands.
Egypt is the leader of tlie Arab
nations. Recently Nasser received a
vast amount of Soviet equipment.
Initially, Nasser thought that he
could lake Russian help without becoming her prisoner. Now he doesn't
seem to be so sure He is still wary
of becoming too dependent on the

system I'll explain what's going on
behind your backs. The students of
Albany Law school are not being
allowed to vote on the S.U.B. issue
concerning outsiders in the Student
Union. When I told one of these
students about it last week, when
we were sitting in Poppa's, he was
furious. He nearly spilled his beer.
He said that if he wasn't given a
vote, he'd report the whole affair
to his party leader, Niklta Kruschev.
If this revelation leaves you cold,
I have more. This is the kind of
thing we need—specific reasons to
hate our school. Admittedly, it's fun
to despise State, but some day you'll
be asked why, and if you save these
columns like every good American
does, you'll know.
Reason two: Albany State is unrcalistically prudish. Take each student individually, and you don't realize it. You can tell him a bawdy
joke, and he'll laugh. You can ask
him to tell one, and he will. You'll
laugh. Yet, take these individuals,
put them together in Page Hall, and
they suddenly become subjected to
a
censored
world
of
hypocrisy,
whether they like it or not, and I
honestly feel that they don't like it.
Who does like being treated like a
naive child? If you don't quite understand, perhaps the nature of the

FRIDAY, N O V E M B E R 3 0 , 1 9 5 6
State's twenty-two game 1956-57 varsity basketball
season opens tonight in the Pratt Institute gymnasium in
Brooklyn against Pace College of Manhattan. Tomorrow
afternoon, the Peds will move into the Bronx to take on the
Fort Schuyler Maritime Academy Five. These two games
make up the first big weekend of basketball for Coach
Sauers' improved cagers.
Thirty Point Spread Last Year
In the Pace-State game last year, the Sauersmen rolled
up one hundred nineteen points to outscore the Manhattanites by thirty points. The Black and Gold were no
match for the Purple last year. This year the game is being
played on a court almost as puny as our bandbox, but the
Statesmen will have to cope with glass backboards, which
have been their jinx in pre-season scrimmages against some
of the Capital District teams. Coach Sauers plans to start
with Gary Holway, last year's number one record breaker;
John Rookwood, steady ballhawk and play-maker; Dick
Causey, who has the height and ability to help control the
backboards; Joe Anderson, fast-breaker and speedy playmaker of the team; and Captain Jack Minon, set-shot artist
Tomorrow afternoon when the Peds move into the
Bronx, the line-up is likely to change depending on tonight's
outcome. State also vanquished Maritime last year, but the
Schuylermen have always been tough for Albany State
teams, and this game should prove a tight contest. The Peds

Foul Shooting Percentage Low
As in the past, this year's squad is lagging in foul shooting accuracy. In pre-season scrimmages, the Sauersmen
compiled a mediocre 54', of foul shots made. Coach Sauers

Statesmen To Sing For Annual
Elks Memorial Services Sunday
The Statesmen will present two
choral programs Sunday for the Annual Elks' Memorial Services, announces Karl A. B. Peterson, Associate Professor of Music and director of the group. The first performance will be held in Albany, and
the evening service will be at the
Elks' Home in Watervliet. This is a
return engagement for the Statesmen who performed for the same
services last year.
After each performance the men
will be guests for a buffet supper
and at that time will sing a short
program of secular numbers. During the memorial services the
Statesmen will sing the "Creation
Hymn," "O Father, Grant Me Hope
and Comfort," "The Souls of the
Righteous," "Send Forth Thy Light,"
"Psalm 117," and "The Lord's Prayer."
The Statesmen for the 1956-57
season include Richard Erbacher,

their individuality in curriculum.
But common ties are the following;
1) Many people attending state
teachers' colleges are first generation college students.
2) The majority of these people
are from the same economic
bracket.
At this conference we decided
that ICA definitely has a future. To
maintain ICA it was pointed out
that definite means of communications should be provided among the
colleges. From this time on, definite names and addresses of members from state teachers' colleges
will be posted, to be available to
every individual and organization.
For instance, if a religious club
wanted specific information on how
a religious club at Potsdam was
financing its work, the head of the
organization could secure the name
and address of the person to write
to at Potsdam by referring to this

The weekend of November 16 we
were sent as part of the Albany
delegation to Buffalo State Teachers' College to attend the InterCollegiate Association conference.
At this conference there were representatives from nine state teachers' colleges. The conference was
mainly concerned with the future
of ICA, should it continue, and if
continued, what should be its goals.
The reason for doubt about ICA's
future was that we had never
scratched the surface of the Association's potential. In previous
years, ICA had failed because it
was kept on an idealistic plane and
had never touched the individual
student. At this year's conference,
we decided to explore ICA and find
where its forces are combined in
state teachers' colleges, i.e. in what
fields our interests are similar and
how we can get each individual to
receive the benefits of ICA.

another and this system of organizations communicating with similar
organizations on other campuses
will form a closer tie between
schools. Moreover, besides solving
specific organizational problems,
ICA will effect every student on
stands taken by the State University on issues concerning all the
schools. Before ICA can take a
side on these issues, it is evident
the organization will have to be
strengthened, and this strength will
be secured as ICA becomes an active organization on each campus.
At this conference, we, as Albany
delegates, made some discoveries
which concerned particularly Albany. First, we concluded that some
of our "problems" have never existed. We have been trying to formulate "problems" about such situations as poor attendance at outside events, and the general attitude toward student government.
For the number of activities offered
every week at this college, there is
excellent attendance, considering
the type of students; those working, married, and those with their
individual interests.
From discussion at Buffalo, we
concluded that not all students are
interested in student government or
its workings, but are interested in
their college! Agreeing with a suggestion offered at this conference,
it is possible that Albany has too
much to offer for the student for
what free time is allowed him.
When some activity concerns the
individual student, then lie is interested.
We sincerely feel that ICA has a
future if its goals are kept on a
realistic level. Albany will benefit
lrom ICA only if it helps to strengthen ICA initially by communicating with the other colleges, and if
it works toward the exchanging of
college groups such as choral, dramatic, and athletic, among others.

The former President's long career in education began in 1902,
when he was appointed principal of
the high school in Richmondville,
N. Y. After a short time as principal of the high school at Glens
Falls in 1905, he was recalled to the
Normai College as principal of the
Model School, known since 1907 as
the Milne High School. Although
his first appointment was an interim one, during the leave of absence of the former principal, he
was soon appointed to the position
permanently.
Dr. Sayles remained principal of
the model school from 1905 to 1939,
when he was appointed acting president of the college. From 1920 to
1939. he was also director of teacher training and head of the Department of Education. In 1937, Colgate University conferred upon him
the degree of doctor of pedagogy.
Two years, then, after he had been
appointed acting president, Dr.
Sayles was recognized as tenth
