Ready To Work Judging from all rumors that have been floating around the halls these past few weeks, we may come back from Easter vacation with the halls of Draper permeated with the odor of fresh paint from a newly colored, newly decorated, and newly arranged Commons. Many suggestions have been made in the past as to the possibilities for improving the Commons, and Wednesday night at Student Coun- cil meeting, Judy Dube and Phil Lashinsky, Seniors, were named to act as co-chairmen to take over the job of renovating the Commons. If the proposed plans are accepted by Dean Nelson at a meeting Tuesday afternoon, the co-chairmen together with their committee, which con- sists of Earl Jones, Richard Feath- ers, Diane Weber, freshmen, Cath- erine Donnelly, '49, and Alice Wil- liams and Marian Mieras, '48, will begin work at 1:30 P. M. Wednes- day, April 2, and will stay over one day of Easter vacation to complete as much as possible at that time. Suggestions to date are that all the offices be placed on the right side of the Commons, with the desks back to back along the wall. Also, the ping-pong table and coke ma- chine might be placed in the other end of the Commons.

Maybe the poetry stinks, but the info, doesn't; it's straight from Catherine Donnelly, 'III, head of HOIM and lights for the show. To say that the sets are dead would be a wealth of understate- ment. The truth is, part of the scenery was cut from "rough boxes," or protection boxes that are slipped on caskets just before they are tak- en under by the undertaker. To color the atmosphere even more, the grass has yet to be obtained. How, you ask . . . well, It is to be taken from a fresh grave early to- morrow m o r n i n g. Even the Sophomores were surprised to re- ceive a box from the governor of Arizona that; contained a much- needed cactus. Along with this lit- tle box came a note to this effect, "May the better man win; I'm sure you will." Please don't be critical of any shades of red that will bo seen tomorrow night.

Looking Backstage On Sophomore Big-8 Sets "Listen, my children, and I shall

relate, Some inside dope on the Soph

Big-8." Maybe the poetry stinks, but the

info, doesn't; it's straight from Catherine Donnelly, 'III, head of HOIM and lights for the show.

To say that the sets are dead would be a wealth of understate­ment. The truth is, part of the scenery was cut from "rough boxes," or protection boxes that are slipped on caskets just before they are tak­en under by the undertaker. To color the atmosphere even more, the grass has yet to be obtained. How, you ask . . . well, It is to be taken from a fresh grave early to­morrow m o r n i n g. Even the Sophomores were surprised to re­ceive a box from the governor of Arizona that; contained a much-needed cactus. Along with this lit­tle box came a note to this effect, "May the better man win; I'm sure you will."

Please don't be critical of any shades of red that will bo seen tomorrow night. The stage crew did the best thuy could and our only re­action to that is "We like red, no in A tier what color it is,"

PAGE a STATE COLLEGE NEWS, FRIDAY, MARCH 28, 1947

Let's Be Civilized . . . It is high time that State students got out the

"cleaning rags" and started polishing up their manners a bit. At such an institution of higher learning it is assumed that those within its walls possess some of the qualities known as courtesy, consideration and politeness.

According to Webster, politeness commonly im­plies thoughtfulness for the feelings of others, and courtesy reflects a considerate and dignified atti­tude. If the conduct of those present in last Friday's assembly exemplifies any of the above characteris­tics, then there is a great lack of understanding of the rules of conduct for an intelligent audience.

True, it takes a bit of concentration and deep thinking to fathom a subject along the lines of Friday's speech, but that is not a topic which is over the heads of would-be teachers. Perhaps we need a loudspeaker system in the auditorium, but nevertheless, that affords no excuse for all the noise and confusion which nearly drowned out the words of the speaker. On the other hand, if there had been less talking and rattling of candy wrap­pers, lunch bags, and newspapers, those in the front rows would not have had to strain their ears to catch what was being said.

Impressions of State College are gained through the contacts which guest speakers make with the student body in appearing before them. What sort of a reputation will State have if this kind of ac­tion takes place every time a speaker delves into a "slightly deep" subject which may seem at the time to be connected with the far-distant future? If some would-be teachers are not concerned with the role of education in world peace and do not care to listen, at least they could keep quiet so those who want to hear may do so with the mini­mum of leaning forward and straining the auditory nerves.

More About Civilization "Vis true perhaps that we should lay off rivalry

in the Sophomore edition, but the issue we'd like to raise is not one that involves only 1949 or 1950 but rather the future of the rivalry tradition at State.

Moving-Up Day has always been one of our most cherished traditions and a very solemn one marred only by the cut-throat activities between the rival classes.

We move to get rid of this sort of thing. There was certainly nothing worth upholding in the dis­graceful exhibition last Moving-Up Day when one class crawled through the lines of another with the resulting danger to life and limb. It was not in keeping with the supposed-to-be solemn occasion and set many parents to sending for college cata­logues anew.

The answer lies in cooperation and sincerity be­tween the rival classes. This only will help to keep the rivalry tradition worthwhile and fun.

ON THE OTHER HAND . . . By J O Y C E

The Colonial News from Endlcot t reports a new service—The Baby Si t ters Organization. T h e m i n i ­mum ra te from 8:00 P.M. to 11:00 P.M. is $1.10; each hour before 8:00 P.M. is 35 cents a n d each hour after 11:00 P.M. is 45 cents. All ex t ra services such as washing dishes a r e 25 cents each (each service, not each d ish) . Requests for these si t ters may be made a t the Office of S t u d e n t Personnel and all s tudents assigned will receive appoin tment cards wi th detailed Instructions.

In Russell Sage the spotl ight is on the Honor Code. Meetings have been held to discuss and criticize t he way it works a n d its r ecen t transgressions. The two most ob­vious shortcomings have been noise in the library and excessive d r ink­ing. I n the meetings it was decided t h a t over-crowding is the ma in cause of the noise and it is u p t o each individual to see tha t both he and his neighbor are quiet. The Honor Code is for guidance r a t h e r t h a n punishment and only co-op­eration will make it successful a c ­cording to Lois Brown, Cha i rman of the Meetings.

Economy is the by-word of the Junior Prom this year a t Syracuse University. Tickets for only $3.60 are the lowest in the history of the college. Co-eds wearing flowers will find it necessary to check them a t the door in order to discourage the

DICKERSON usual customary a n d r a t h e r expen­sive practice. When they say to keep t h e expenses down, they mean i t !

P l ans for the Spring Weekend a t Syracuse are in full swing. "Under t h e Bigtop" will be t he overall t h e m e s wi th a pagean t consisting of sequences of classes, activities, s tudies, and social life on campus proving t h a t "College Is a Two-Ring Circus". Isn ' t it the t r u t h tho?

Russell Sage p lans to cont inue its Men 's Division for ano the r year. The group will all be taking freshman subjects, since the ones this year will have transferred to other col­leges, If there are any studenes who have difficulty in t ransferr ing, they may be given the chance to continue the i r studies another year, a l though such a program would only involve very special cases. The new group will be composed largely of veterans, a n d non-ve terans outside the Troy a r e a will find themselves ineligible.

W t h many t h a n k s to the Syracuse Daily Orange, we close with this gay litt le ditty And suddenly It 's . . . . Spr ing at S ta te . . .

By INESON and WINGATE

(Each, week in this column, "Ed 19 Anonymous", staffed by a group of eminent authorities in the field of Human Gyrations, seeks to help those poor twisted, distorted neurasthenics who have not yet found the path to sane, normal gyration in our com­plex social structure.)

Today's Let ter

Dear Sir:

Nobody likes me. Even dogs. In fact, dogs most of all. Even the janitor avoids me.

How can I find the p a t h to sane normal gyrat ion in our complex oscial s t r u c t u r e ? H u h ? How can I get to be a big wheel?

(Signed) D E S P E R A T E

P.S. I will settle for being a small cog, if it is any easier for you.

Dear Despera te :

"The big wheel runs by faith, and the little wheel runs by the grace of God."

You, Sir, have obviously been misled by the above quotat ion. The process of achieving social .success requires, not faith, but a dynamic concept of the mores and institutions in which we find ourselves enmeshed. We hope tha t the following simple steps, fundamental to the process of becoming, a s your quaint idiom so succinctly states, "a big wheel", will improve your status, if not your g r a m m e r

To The Editor: Last Friday, Forum brought a

speaker to inform us on UNESCO. I must, agree tha t the speaker lacked color or shall we say she needed punch to keep people interested in a dry but impor tan t subject. This is not Forum's fault.

Bu t how can s tudents , who are over 10 years of age chronologi­cally, be so impolite as to speak while someone older is speaking If you can ' t be polite enough to sit quietly and read your NEWS so t h a t the speaker can ' t see it, "Go home, young man", you won't make a school teacher anyway.

Philip Lashlnsky, '47 To the Editor :

Referring to last week's assem­bly, I t is certainly disgraceful when an assembly of S t a t e College s tu ­dents conducts itself in a manner , worthy of the censure, no t only of the speaker, but of large numbers of the s tudent body.

Gran ted tha t there were many distracting influences such as :

1. Apathy on the p a r t of the s tu­dent toward a subject of world-wide Importance.

2. The nearing lunch hour. 3. The lack of forcefulness on the

pa r t of the speaker. 4. The necessity for s tudent t each­

ers to use the Milne exit. 5. The appeal of t he Sta te College

NEWS. G. The fact t ha t many mid-sums

were scheduled for Friday af ter ­noon.

7. Obvious selfishness of cer ta in groups of s tudents .

Possible s t r ingent methods for t he allieviatlon of such conduct as oc­curred last Friday might, be:

1. To open the cafeteria, only a l t e r the close of assembly,

2. To distribute the NEWS only a t the close of assembly.

3. To forbid studying and eat ing during assembly.

However, the conditions might more easily be counteract ed th rough the following measures :

1. To use the public address mi ­crophone for our speakers.

2. To use more discretion in choosing speakers.

3. To make individuals conscious of their responsibility for proper conduct. It l.s this final point, which wo wish to emphasize. Is ours u m a ­ture or juvenile s tuden t body?

To The Editor: Upon reading the Knickerbocker

News of March 25, we have come across two degrading articles d i ­rected Against S t a t e College a n d the s tudent body.

It seems Stuto College has been an object of abuse In several such articles this year by this publica­

tion. There are at least ten other colleges in this immediate vicinity and it seems to us tha t S ta te Col­lege is the only one which has been overly-publicized In this de t r imen­tal manne r .

We realize that we have had wri te-ups, concerning our social activi­ties, which have not been unfavor­able; but yet these are not compar­able to the poor publicity we have received.

For example, S ta te College s tu­den t s have contributed generously to chair l table drives here in Albany. I n addit ion, no one can say Alban­ians haven ' t enjoyed the guest a r ­tists and productions presented by S t a t e College organizations

Therefore, we feel S ta te College has been unjustly criticized on the basis of minor details which concern only the s tudent body.

Hasn ' t this derision gone on long enough?

To T h e Editor: I wish to thank all the people who

helped me make Sta te Fai r possible. Wi thou t the enthusiast ic co-oper­a t ion of all the committees, it couldn ' t have been a success.

Alice Prindle, '48 To the Editor:

In regard to the printed letter of last week's NEWS, some feel tha t the Class of 1060 should provide some defense for themselves, We offer no defense because it, seems an unnec­essary apology. We should merely like to bring to the mind of last week's correspondent that he spoke of a decided minority and the opin­ions there staled are not those of the majority of the freshman class.

Council of 1950 To the Editor:

in the March 21st Issue of the STATE COLLEC1E NEWS, the Class of '50, was given quite a going over by one "Hopeful" and one "Com­mon-Sta te r" , Such examples of de­struct ive criticism are scarce. No doubt , there are many who would like to compliment them in regard to their talents.

"Hopeful" made the following s t a t emen t s which were of particular Interest : (1) "Tho only interest they have taken outside of studying, has been in rivalry." (2) "So please, let 's see some freshmen do somo work. Otherwise, 1950 Is going to m e a n the decline of S ta te College

"Common-Sta te r" revealed tha t (1) Word has reached us t h a t tho class of 1960 Is p lanning to discon­t inue rivalry." (2) "The most t h a t can be clone by the present fresh­m a n class Is to protest." (3) "So

1. Par t ic ipate in Dramatics. The requirements are simple. You need only commit to memory the fol­lowing phrases. "Darling, you were divine'." "I lis technique is good, but he can' t project." "It was good, bu t the mood wasn ' t sustained." These arc interchangeable, regardless of the si tuation.

Always be present in the Annex whenever possible, par t icular ly on Saturday mornings . S tandard cos­tume: filthy jeans complete with hammer , baggy sweatshir t , and a responsible expression. Helpful also is the insistent demand for someone to gel you a cup of coffee and an "Ideal on rye" from I he Boul. (An esoteric colloquialism indicative of the desire for food. Derivation unknown.)

2. Take some Science course. Any Science course, provided that it includes a lab. This automatical ly entit les you to wear a Lab coat. Exer t your utmost influence to obtain an aged, acid-stained coat, com­plete with blood-stains, (your own, if necessary.i Never wash it. The walk from lockerroom to Lab in this punctilious a t t i re is a r i tual not to be taken lightly.

3. One's social s ta tus is inextricably interwoven with one's conduct in the Commons. The socially elite play bi Idge. It is not necessary to unders tand the game. The simple expedient of walking about with a deck of cards demand ing "a fourth" will suffice. Next lowest in s t and ing are the P ing Pong players. Again it is not necessary to be proficient. A thunder ing serve, delivered from six feet behind tho table will earmark you as socially acceptable.

4. The mailbox is your best source of self adver­t isement. Many author i t ies advocate lett ing one's notes accumulate and read ing them only bi-monthly. Thus you are assured tha t o thers in your box will be aware of your popularity. This, however, is def­initely inferior to reading your notes and replacing them in the box.

If the Class of '50 Is such an inferior class, why are Its members asked to part icipate In exlru-cirr ic-ular activities? Surely no State College organization would care to lower Its s t andards to permll freshmen to Join It.

Cultures Of All Nations To Furnish Theme For Gala IGC Folk Festival

By J O Y C E DICKERSON

"What is America to me:' A name, a map, a flag I see/ A certain word, Democracy? What is America to me:' The house J live in, A plot of earth, a street, the gro­

cer, the butcher, And the people that I meet. The children in the playground, The million lights I see, All races and religions That's America, to me."

So goes the In te r -Group Council Folk Festival to the background music, of "The House I hive In." Dancing and dialogue will combine to make a panouamii of color and interest.

T h e nat ional theme will be pre­dominan t in the stage presenta­tion of customs, folk dances and songs, A descriptive narra t ion fading out at the beginning of each act will serve as a link for the entire pro­duction.

A Russian ballel Will provide the first en ter ta inment . Now prepare yourself! A Hawaiian group dunce in costume and all should do it's share In crcttling Hie a tmos­phere, Pol' those ol you who mv Irish and proud ol it, there 's an Irish folk tide will) the

tradit ional musical background. Di­alogue in the form of a French love scene should prove very amus­

ing. Possibly we'll stop next in Pa l ­estine for a group folk dance or It might, even be in Italy to hear some poetry in dialect. The Indians will have a representation with some­thing new and different,—a clarinet solo. Who knows but, we might even hear the "Indian Love Call". The only pantomime, a Chinese home scene, will add quite n contrast to the other action. Another group dance, Swedish this time, will carry us into the serene mood traditional to the Scandinavian countries. The Negro selection is on tho piano and it's hound to be worth hearing.

Down we KO to the gym to a guy carousel, Merc we have an inter­nat ional theme. A festive! motive wil predominate during this period of refreshment and dancing.

Ki t t redge: We have kidnapped the keeper of the banners. She has been taken to our fortifications at Red Hook, sir, Five of our most trusted men will return with the hostage at dawn.

Baker : Good work. Sit down and drink the fire-potion with us.

(The voices of the devils arc heard as they chant the hymns In the fire-gods.)

Flanagan : The lire gods have been good to us . . . remember the great C Day, when we stormed the gates of Chaos?

Anderson: The Big-8 we gave in the Anteroom of Hell was certainly blessed by the gods.

Thayer : Coplan, with t h a t apache dance, and Sargent and Wurzler did their share to keep things hot.

Mills: Well, Rickie and I did our part in the final clinch.

O'Meara: Forget the past, Devils. Fill the cup with tho fire-potion. A toast to the Red Devils in Hell.

Act II, Scene I The Day of Activities

(The following year, after two months of traveling diverse paths, the Devils return to their abode in Hell.

Baker: Men, we are once more gathered in the depths of this I n ­ferno . . . ready to take on the burdens of the fire, (aside) Zan-chelli, put some wood on. Our home has been inhabited by a group of Bluejays. We must teach them to be good fire-eaters. We must show them who is supreme.

Mclntyre : Baker, sir, we've just received signatures for the secret order of Ainaksym, a n d tickets for hot scats in the library have been sold for hours.

Scene I I Page Hall Field Hell

Zanchelll : Ow! my eye! Kloepfel: Ow! my leg! Powell: Ow! my wrist! Ineson: We won 11

Scene I I I (Circle Inn, 10 miles from Hell) Wurzler: Someday he'll come

along. . . . Lisker: (groans).

Scene IV (Baker, Hie leader of the Red

Ones, was resigned and Lisker, the newly-chosen devil, takes over)

Lisker: The glorious her i tage of the Red Devils will not die, for ours is the glory of Hell.

Scene V Sophomore Big-8

Wilcox: "One for the money." Donnelly: "Two for the show." Sophs: "Three to get ready." All: "And four to go."

Before we consign the basketballs to the m o th balls to make way for spring spor ts we should like to dis­cuss the varsity picture.

Coaching a college squad entails quite a bit more t h a n merely showing up Fr i ­day night , breaking out a new game ball and mak ing substitutions.

"it was a tough game," (2) "I 'm tired."

Never in the ancient history of Sta te College', let alone in the h i s ­tory of rivalry, have the two rival classes come to such unanimous ag ­reement , on any issue whatever. And there was no doubt about t he unanimity of the concordat as prov­en by the profound testimony issu­ing forth from the shower room.

From Joe Amyot was hea rd : " ' twas indeed a tough game and I'd be more tried than I am if six fouls were allowed per game." And Link Marzello: "I was saving tha t one all season, I 'm exhausted after t ha t rough workout." The less talkative members of the historic assemblage had this to say. Ben Jackson: "What a game. I'm ready for bed." And even shorter but none the less pointed was Bob Kloepfill's: "Wow! I'm licked."

Rivalry Ping-Pong Set For Monday

The rivalry ping-pong tourna­ment will be held Monday, March 31, a t 4:30. The event will take place in the Commons with three rivalry points at stake.

Betty Winkler, '49, Capta in for the Sophs, has listed Pless, Chea t ­ham, and Simon as top players for the Sophomore team. They will be practicing over the weekend in pre­parat ion for the rivalry tussle.

The only players announced for the Sophomore men are Dickenson, who is In charge of the Soph team, and Zanchelli. Undoubtedly, the names of the other players are be­ing withheld for the Sophs are to face the two MAA tournament semi-finalists, Margolin and Noble.

The freshman girls, under the leadership of Adams and Matt ison, WAA representatives, had tryouts In the Commons on Thursday . The i r team will also practice over the weekend in preparat ion for Mon­day's contest.

Noble, Coach for the frosh, will Join with Margolin to form the frosh doubles team while L. Walsh and R. Horsman will furnish the other frosh competition.

Climaxing a brilliant fourth pe­riod rally with a thri l l ing las t -min­u te win, t he frosh Blue J a y s edged the Soph Red Devils 41-38 in the first of a best-of- three men ' s rival­ry series Tuesday night. Fast , diz­zy, nerve-t ingl ing play had the rooters on their feet th roughout the fourth period as both teams fought bitterly r ight down to the wire.

Finding the range soon after the opening whistle, the frosh took an early lead as Ed Gordon and Pierce McGrath converted foul trys. Tom Lisker tallied a goal and a foul. Walt Schick layed one up and Joe Amyot set before "Bas" Karpiak ended the period with a layup. Sophs, 8; frosh, 7.

Sophs Edge In to Lead Sparked by "Link" Marzello, the

frosh grabbed the lead and held an 18-14 edge a t half t ime. With Schick chipping in with five points, the Sophs came to life to move into the lead they held a t the three-quar ter mark, 26-24.

Leading off the hectic last pe­riod, Karpiak looped in a foul try. Bob Kloepfel scored a layup before McGrath connected with two beau­tiful set shots to put the frosh ahead, 29-28. Joe Zanchelli coun­tered with a layup as the Sophs moved ahead. "Cy" Fersh then found the range before Bob Ki t t -redge took a Lisker pass and layed it away. Sophs, 32; frosh, 31.

Marzello Wins Game Marzello pushed from the foul

line before Zanchelli connected to mainta in the Soph's one point lead, 33-32. Fersh converted two fouls and followed with a push. Score: 36-33. The Sophs countered as Zanchelli tossed in a foul and Schick looped a nifty set to once more tie the score. The Sophs edged ahead on Llsker's foul shot but Marzello's dazzling set shot from mid court deckled the heated contest and Karpiak added a clincher.

Wi th the final week of t h e win te r season drawing to a close, MAA a n d WAA Councils announced p l a n s for their spring seasons. Both groups will begin practices immediate ly after vacation.

MAA's spring program will in ­clude baseball, tennis, softball, and volleyball. WAA will feature soft-ball, tennis, riding, hiking, volley­ball, and badminton.

T.B. Association Urges Students To Take Tests

Milton G. Nelson, Dean of the Col­lege, announced that each student , faculty member, or employee should have his family doctor furnish him Willi a certificate of smallpox vac­cination and that this certificate should be filed with the Registrar not later than Wednesday, April 30.

The freshman and Sophomore classes will part icipate in the third banner hun t of the year tomorrow afternoon from 1 to 5 P. M. Mys­kania will hide the banner of '49, and both classes will search for it.

The ruling on the new banner hunt was made by Myskania after the second hun t when the freshmen found the Sophomore banner and a fight ensued. In order to prevent further violence, the hun t was stop­ped and a r e - h u n t agreed upon.

The revised rules for the Banner Rivalry, released before the second banner hunt , will be read just be­fore the appointed time for the hun t in the lower hall of Draper.

According to members of Mys­kania, the banner will not be hid­den on the second or third floor of Draper, in the Auditorium, or the gym, as well as the other locations stated in the rules.

As the revised rules stand, after the day of the banner hunt , the banners in possession of a class must be kept within the limits of

into New York Sta te within the past few weeks. S tudents and fac­ulty members have just re turned Irom a vacation which has spread them over the state and beyond, thus increasing the chances of be­ing exposed lo the disease.

The S ta le Health Depar tment advises tha t all persons who have not been vaccinated within the last

The President of S tudent Asso­ciation must know at all times where these banners are, and must be notified of any change in the location of the banner.

Banner rivalry shall close at mid­night preceding Moving-Up Day, and not before. Both banners must be given to the President, of S tu ­dent Association between midnight

Due to the emergency conditions it will not be possible to wait to learn whether the vaccination has been effective. Ail tha t Is needed at the present time Is a simple s ta tement that the precaution has been taken.

Whoever is in possession of both banners, at midnight preceding Movlng-Up Day, has thus gained for his class five points.

Sociology 'Gallup Polls Reveal Students Consistent In Opinions

In an at tempt lo get a true rep­resent at ion oi the opinions of tile entire student hotly on three ques­tions ol college-wide interest, two public opinion or "Gallup" polls have recently been conducted by the Sociology -I Class, with the co­operation ol Dr. Theodore Standing, lToiessor of Sociology, and Philip 1,nshlnslty, '47. The first poll was an experiment ,il poll 111 which every 11th student whose name appeared ,n I lie Dhecloi.Y was asked to fill nil a hall.il yes, no, or no opinion. I he same questions were asked in the second poll bill tills time every lllh name received ballots. It Is interesting to note that the results ol the two polls cheeked within 2 ' i ol each other.

Yes 54.2'i No . 41.5''; No opinion 1.3'i Cli those who answered this ques­

tion, there was a definite progres­sion Irani ihe freshman to the Sen­ior classes oi lliose who believed l hat at lend,nice at assembly would oe compulsory.

Those who expressed their views nega-Ihely were 711',' of the women and 21'", of ihe men. Since approxim­ately one-third ol the students par ­ticipating in llie poll were male and as such n large percentage vot­ed negatively, there is shown a strong feeling on the part of these male s tudents that smoking should be allowed in lower Draper.
