relief, while McGurrln pitched a
nice game against Oneonta to notch
the other victory.

be taken from the fans present to
raise money to send a team to Tokyo
this fall..
This team will be made up of
college athletes and their purpose
will be to play exibition games

With the big game of the season scheduled to be
played today, the number of people that have passed
through the turnstyles is reaching an all-time high.
Not wanting to disagree with the all-knowing Common
Staters that claim the students are apathetic, it is
a definite fact that more students have watched the
baseball team in action in the first games than ever
before.
It could be that our winning team is the reason for
the increase in attendance, but the Mets are drawing
some tremendous crowds and we need not discuss their
ability to win. The sight of blankets on the third baseline and full bleachers are certainly pleasing to the
team.
In this week's AMIA action there
were a few close encounters but
there were some in which the scoring seemed as if it would never
stop. SLS, the defending champion

Color is the middle name of this team. Those of you
that have not had a chance to see this crew in action
have really missed something. They can play pretty
fair baseball, despite the moments of comedy.
It
would be worth your while to take in the show. Take
a little time out from TGIF and get your bods over to
the Siena vs. State game.
Question of the Week: Can Hamilton's predictions
destroy organized gambling?

Both teams have the same teams

of Hamilton's number one man.
Sauers was quick to point out that
it was not the first man that gave
them the trouble last year, but the

Representatives of three
major religious groups in
the capital district have
met to discuss the possibility of constructing an
Inter-faith Center for the
new campus.
Since the University has established a policy prohibiting the use
of campus facilities for religious
worship services, the Albany Jewish Community, Council, the Capitol
Area Council of Churches, and the
Roman Catholic Diocese of Albany
have decided that such a matter is
of urgent significance.

a 4-1 margin, following a closed

In 1954, the Democrats were offerred their first real opportunity
to regain the governorship. Just
two years before, the Democrats
had not campaigned for Stevenson

In 1953 Robert F. Wagner defied
the party bosses in New York City,
including Cashmore, and decided to
oppose their choice, Impelliteri.
In this year, the Democrats won
the mayoralty Thus they regained
it from Impelliteri, who although a
Democrat ran on the Experience
party ticket.
It was in this way that the Democrats were optimistic about the
1954 gubernatorial race. Dewey
announced lie would not seek a

of candidates began.
The Democrats were faced with
active candidacies for W. Averill

Whenever an individual or organization
wishes to publicize any event, approval
must be sought from Campus Commission. Upon the granting of this approval,
a poster may then be hung on some wall
of either the main buildings or annexes.
Our University is constantly expanding. It has neared the point now that
communication by poster is inadequate.
Many students spend the greater part
of their college career in the annexes,
for example, and one or two postered
displayed in the main college buildings
do very little good in bringing events
to their attention.
The new campus points out the need
for more efficient and expansive publicity. It is clear that the poster system
in a large university does not fulfill
the communications needs of the various
active organizations.
Campus Commission is in need of a
revamping on this and other scores.
For example, it supposedly is on the
alert for parking violations in the student
parking lot. On this score the Commission needs to exercise greater powers
of surveillance.

Led by the classy pitching of John Botticelli, the Siena Indians topped the varsity baseball team 7-4 in a home game last Friday. State's starting pitcher Ray
Weeks was plagued by a porous defense that allowed six unearned runs to be
scored. In the season's opener Weeks had dropped an eleven inning 4-3 decision
to Siena at LoudonvHle. As is always the case when these two arch-rivals compete,
the stands were filled with avid rooters from both schools.
Siena drew first blood in their
Initial at bat. The lead-off batter
singled and scored on a long double.
The run was to be Siena's only
earned score of the day. The Indians threatened in both the second
and third innings, but clutch pitching
by Weeks stranded runners on third
in both frames.
Meanwhile, Botticelli set down the
Peds in order in the first two innings. Dick Kimball cracked State's
first hit in the third. However, he
was stranded on third as Botticelli
bore down to retire the side.

Siena went out in order in both

of the fifth, the varsity came close
to reaching pay dirt. Co-captain
Dick Odorizzi led off witli a single;
he advanced to second on a ground

Chuck Mastrangelo walked to fill
the bases, but Pep Pizzillogrounded
out to end the inning. Both pitchers
matched zips through the sixth inning and the score stood 1-0 going
into the top of the seventh. Then,
the roof caved in.
The first batter reached first on
an e r r o r . The second hitter also
reached base on a miscue.
A
sacrifice bunt put both runners in
scoring position with one out.
With smooth-swinging Mike Bayus
playing in the number one position,
and long-hitting Fred Maurer at
number two, the State duffers took
the first three points of the match.
Bayus and Maurer defeated Hamilton's two top golfers, Leon Kantor
and Bill Tracy, by large margins.
The tide then seemed to be turning against the Peds as Doug Morgan and John Vrtiak both lost close
decisions.
With the match deadlocked at 3-3, the contest was to
be decided in the last foursome
where Stan Rosen and Paul Bachorz
needed two out of three points for
State to win the match.
Rosen won his match to gain one
point. Bachorz was one stroke down
going to the eighteenth hole. He
won the eighteenth with a five foot
putt on the slippery Hamilton green.
With that putt Bachorz notched a
tie for the day's proceedings.

A single by Weber brought a run

went to left field. A long double

By defeating St. Peter's College
of New Jersey 5-1 last Friday, the
varsity tennis team extended their
undefeated record to G-0. Since
the team won enough points in single
competition to clinch the match,
the doubles were not played.
