RhodesCommittee State Delegates ToRepresent TeacherColleges

Will Award 48 Scholarships

Request Information/ Blanks Of Mcllwaine

Dr. Shields Mcllwaine, Professor of English, will represent the Rhodes Scholarships this year for State College. Each year, according to the will of Cecil John Rhodes, thirty-two scholarships are awarded to the United States from the Uni­versity of Oxford. Dr. Mcllwaine will take charge of application blanks and information on how to apply for the scholarship, at this institution.

Previous to this, thirty-two schol­arships have been available. How­ever, in view of the fact that stu­dents were prevented from apply­ing during the war years, sixteen additional scholarships will be awarded this year. These forty-eight appointments will be divided between candidates for regular or War Service Scholarships, at the discretion of the Committee of Selection In accordance with the merits of applicants. At this time, the scholarship is for two years with a value of 500 pounds. Stu­dents who can maintain a scholar­ship rating at Oxford will be awarded a third year.

Candidates eligible for a scholar­ship must be single male citizens of the United States and between the ages of nineteen and twenty-five on October 1, 1948. They must also have completed at least the Sopho­more year by the time of applica­tion. Those candidates who come under the War Service Scholarship need only have completed one year of college work and may be thirty-three years of age on October 1, 1948. They must have one year of war service or war work for which Draft Boards have granted defer­ment. These men will not find marriage a bar.

Applications must be in by the end of October, 1947. Scholars se­lected will enter the University of Oxford in October, 1948.

Cathrine Donnelly, '49, elected last spring to the Board of Con­trol of the Eastern States Associa­tion of Professional Schools for Teachers, to represent all students of New York State Teacher's Col­leges, and Gerhard Weinberg, '48, student representative-at-large from New York State, will attend the first board meeting to be held October 14 a t the Commodore Hotel, New York City.

I t will be a one-day meeting to plan the entire association meeting next March, at which time all cam­pus problems brought up will be dis­cussed by the representative faculty members and students.

The Eastern States Association of Professional Schools for Teachers, a faculty-student group designed to improve curriculum methods and other worth-while projects, formed this Board of Control composed of one student and one faculty mem-bre of each participating state.

Formerly, this Association was composed solely of faculty members, but it is now endeavoring to gain student members. Dr. Harvey Rice, formerly of Albany State Teachers College faculty and now President of Oswego State Teachers College, is the Ifaculty representative for New York State. He was asked to have the students of Albany State Teachers College elect a student representative for all State Teachers Colleges in New York.

Blanks For Absentee Ballots

Stanley Abrams, '48, Speaker of Forum, has announced that appli­cation blanks for absentee ballots for the November elections may be obtained next week for those who have registered at home and wish to vote. Those Interested may con­tact members of Forum.

Men To Elect New Officers For St. Marys Housing Project

At election to be held October 17 at State College the men who live at St. Mary's will elect two counsel­ors from each barrack and a gen­eral chairman. Due to the lack of any resemblance of organization at the St, Mary's project, Myskania has been asked to conduct the elec­tion proceedings.

The general picture at St. Mary's now is one of disorganization. The responsibility for the proper func­tioning of tho project is left almost entirely to one small committee, composed of a few of the St, Mary's men, whose duties are manifold. The chairman of this committee must act as housemother, clean-up committee and general overseer all rolled into one.

Rents are paid into a regular agency which furnishes some sort of janutorial sorvlco, but, in case of an emergency, tho situation would call for some immediate ac­tion by the St. Mary's mon them-HUIVOH. To moet such an emergency and to prevent oveyday problems from roachlng major proportions

some form of organization Is need­ed.

It is difficult to even begin to organize the group because since

tho men do not eat at St. Mary's, there is no actual way of getting them all together at the same time. For this reason tho coming election will bo held at the college. Where all the men will have a chance to vote for tho chairman and counsel­ors.

Dr. Ralph Baker, head of the housing committee has been mak­ing every effort to make the group into one well-organized unit that will bo able to meet the new prob­lem,'! that arise and to solve them. Tho present system at St. Mary's is not adequate. It is hoped that once tho new chairman and coun­selors are elected they can woj'k as a group that will provide for tho proper functioning of tho St. Mary's project. The responsibility for how tho project functions will then rest entirely In tho hands of tho men and tho representatives they have olootod.

3. Notice of any cancellation of a n event or of a change in t ime and place, must be re ­

corded in this office. Please cancel early so t h a t someone else may take advantage of the vacancy on the calendar. Any da te cancelled less t h a n three weeks before its scheduled t ime will not be rescheduled.

The Gospel According To St. Student

1. T h e n up spoke Archaic, he of the lost Paradise, and sai th to his son Erudite, the academic one; yea verily, it is time tha t thou enterest the Kingdom of Lost Souls.

2. Do thou go by the waters of the Hudson to the Temple ; it s tandeth by the Western pa thway, and is encompassed about by many s t range and wonderful places.

3. Beyond Mount S ign-out lieth the fair fields of Washington Park. Wherefore sittest thou down in the n in th and ten th months , which are the months of Registrat ion anr' fad­ing tans, and count un to thyself thy many blessings of Baby Part ies and fair smiles upon the faces of sorority women.

4. Let not the Pharisees, they of the upperclasses, lead thee into temptat ion, which is a t the place of Octavius, the Olendorfian one, where there is much Imbibing of the juice of the grape, yea beerily.

5. Nay, stay no t there , but arise, my love, and come away to the blessed hall of the Son of Richard; let thy soul rejoice in the frag­rance which cometh forth from the multi tudes, who have not long since par taken of loaves and fishes in the Tomb of Cafeteria, as these same multi tudes press upward to the

Twent ie th Room. 6. Descend from there into the

Valley of the Commons, a t which shrine are gathered two or three hundred in the Name of the Mail­boxes. Call to thy remembrance that this the spot where the great white gods of Campus Commission did, in their rage and fury, batt le mightily with the Green-Robed Ones, they that are of the tribe of freshmen, and did slay many with barbed warnings from the War Council of the Sons and Daughters of Myskania.

7. T u r n again from the lair coun­tenances of thy professors, which are plentiful as olives in Mount Mart ini , and enter the temple of the money-changers, which shall henceforth be known to all men as the Boul. In this vale of tears thou must forsake all others and, for forty minutes and forty cents, cleave unto the Fried Single Over.

8. There abldeth with thee always cuts, warnings, and assemblies; and of these the most important Is assembly. If a s tudent maketh s t ra ight A and h a t h not a t tendance at assembly, it availeth him no th­ing, and upon his roommate, and upon his roommate's roommates shall be visited the expulsion by the dean.

9. And the editor wept.

To the Editor:

Last Friday Mr. Abrams, repre­senting Myskania, read a n an ­nouncement of the decision reach­ed after the public hearing held for Paul Klrsch, '51. T h e na ture of the s ta tement was definitely in­sulting and derogatory, as evidenced by the reaction of the audience to the s ta tement . Myskania, as the judicial body of S tudent Associa­tion, has the r ight to render deci­sions In scholastic affairs. How­ever, they do not have the right to publicly Insult or deride any man no mat ter what the charges against him.

I am wholly aware of the nature of the case and the a t t e n d a n t cir­cumstances a t the hearing before Myskania, Nevertheless, I feel that Myskania has over-stepped Itself In assuming It has the right to pub­licly shame any Individual.

The decision ol Myskania was not that of a legal body. Rather , it sounded like a note of revenge. The actions of Myskania are serious enough for consideration of Im­peachment charges. Insult ing any man publicly Is not In the legal code of conduct for Myskania.

If the s ta tement Is not retracted and an apollgy rendered to the par ty concerned, I shall bu forced to present Impeachment charges to the Student Association for the failure of Myskania to conduct It­self In it manner befitting its posi­tion in the college hierarchy,

The Common-Stater is given the widest latitude as author of this column, although his viewpoints do not necessarily reflect those of the STATE COLLEOE N E W S .

We h a d intended, since this is a new column, to s tar t off with a s ta tement of policy a n d let our read­ers have an idea of wha t to expect In the future. We have, however, decided not to commit ourselves, but r a the r t o take advantage of the "widest la t i tude" of­fered us, and to write about any th ing we feel may be of interest t o the s tudents of S ta te . While we will do our best to bring out all news, we must admit we have no spies around school, and will welcome facts a n d suggestions from all.

We will be satisfied if the readers think of this column what we say of the previous one; that , while not necessarily always agreeing with it, t h a t column was one of the first things we always turned to each Friday when we picked up a NEWS.

Biggest news this week concerns the proposed All-S ta te Chr i s tmas Semi-Formal . Financial trouble has popped up to give the commit tee a collective head­ache early this week. The story behind this follows.

P lans and ground work for th is dance have been drawn u p by a combined commit tee representing I n ­ter-Sorori ty and In te r -Fra te rn i ty Councils, on the assumption t h a t no expense would be encountered before t he sale of bids commenced. However, it was found a couple of days ago t h a t in order to secure the services of the band agreed upon as the best available a t the price which could be paid,, Claude Thornhi l l and his orchestra, a down payment of 50'/r, $900 in this case, would necessary. Since the coun­cil t reasuries do not have t h a t kind of money, before the sale of t ickets commences, this committee may have to turn to Student Association for help. We say "may" because it is possible t h a t the organiza­tions involved may be able to raise the money them­selves.

Since this dance was originally planned for the whole school, one idea being thai it would add to the prestige of the college, and since a lot of work has gone into its p lanning so tha t it would be sound fi­nancially and at the same time assure a good time for those a t tending, we feel the s tudents should sup­port the motion if it is brought up and in any case the dance. Approval has already been obtained from S tuden t Council to introduce the financial motion. There will be more on thi;, next week.

As far as the proposed Insurance Plan, we under­s tand t h a t the whole business is Lo be narrowed clown by the elimination, because of an adminis t rat ion rul­ing, of any locally administered plan. Our informa­tion is t h a t t he present infirmary fund will be al­lowed to continue, for the present, at least, simul­taneously with the new plan, if approved. The infirm­ary fund benefits, In view of past surpluses, may be increased by a small amount , with no increase in cost to the s tudent . Any general expansion of the plan, however, will not be permit ted by the admin­istrat ion.

As we sec it, In view of the general agreement which has prevailed tha t some type of security be offered to the s tudents , with discussion being merely as to the best method of obtaining maximum coverage for minimum cost, this apparent ly leaves little choice.

In spite of the poll taken this week which un ­covered the surprising fact t h a t nearly 50% of the representat ive group polled were covered by other policies, in view of the committee 's report, we don't believe these policies can be comparable to the one offered to us as a group In coverage or cost. There ­fore, a l though we are on record as having opposed this plan, we now see no a l ternat ive except to vote for it, and by it. We'll undoubtedly use it too, If the football season lasts much longer.

A complaint was registered to S tuden t Council Wed­nesday night t h a t fifth year s tudents are not allowed to speak at S tudent Association Meetings. This is be­cause it has been ruled that , even though they pur­chase S tuden t Tax tickets, as graduates they are not active members of the association, but are not merely allowed to enjoy some of the privileges. The present unders tanding, t ha t a Grad can speak only when per­mission is granted by a resolution Introduced by an undergradua te , seems ra ther unwieldy and quite silly. There should be some action on this soon.

In closing, we do hope t h a t Albanians passing the front of Page Hall realize tha t most Sta le College s tu­dents do NOT bring their own lunch.

STATE COLLEGE NEWS. FRIDAY, OCT, 17, 1S47 PAGE 3

On Ike Bench .By PAULA TICHY.

Blood on the sidewalk, Blood on the ground, And bloody football players

all around. Pity the ref bloody and dead, Where the great big athletes

stamped on his head. I t ' s almost too late this year to

do anything about the football field but let 's keep it in mind for the future. Let 's try to preserve State 's manhood as long as possible. Any­one witnessing the close calls this week will readily agree t h a t the present set-up leaves much to be desired. •

Wliile on the subject of football a nea t bit of sportsmanship was displayed on the field recently. The whistle blew just as one squad was coming out of the huddle. A mem­ber of the defenshe team called "lei 'em have one more play." The play resulted in a touchdown. Foot­ball would be a lot more enjoyable for both players and spectators if more of this type of sportsmanship were displayed ra ther than the type which has more often been noted since the season began.

WAA has organized a Riding Club and is scheduled for Sa tu r ­day morning. The initial outlay is $1.50 per ride but WAA will re­fund half the price a t the end of 10 rides. Sounds like a good deal for anyone who wants to master a .style of riding. The horses need exercise so let's give 'em a break.

Remember t h a t sensational hockey game last Friday, well here's the financial result. The grandee total was $45. The fellows from St. Mary's would like to express their sincere grat i tude and thanks to all their supporters and especially to the WAA team for their bravery in the face of danger. We would like to mention here tha t all the danger was not faced by the coeds; the Sain ts also had much to cope with after the girls decided "every­thing goes."

The $45 will be divided between the three lounges and even if the bottom dropped out of the marke t overnight this amount would only furnish a few lamps and ash trays. We urge St. Mary's to sponsor a few more of these events both to line their own pockets and also for general enjoyment.

This is one of the first of a series of outings to b" backed by the RPI organization, and on Tuesday even­ing a t 7:30 a representative from Troy will be here to encourage ac­tive participation from Sta te and explain the activities and advant ­ages. In n r ecea t l ona l way, of this plan.

Girls, especially have been Urged lo participate In this "sport" as the greater part of the other colleges interested are predominantly mas­culine.

H&E, Athletes Second; Ramblers Cop 1 st Win

Wednesday found the Ham & Eggers downing SLS in the "A" game, 24-7. George passed to Fersh for the first score. After H&E kicked off, Fersh intercepted a n SLS pass and brought the ball to mid-field.

O'Connor then faded and passed to Chase for the lone SLS touch­down. O'Connor then passed to Thayer for the point.

After a scoreless third quarter , H&E made the score 18-7 as George passed to Sadaway. O'Brien inter­cepted a Dombrowski pass late in the last period and ran the ball near the SLS goal. Fersh passed to O'Brien for the last score of the game.

In Wednesday's other contest, Van Derzee ran into a tough Beav­er squad sparked by Paul Carter , and went down lo defeat, 37-13. Carter caught lour touchdown passes and ran for two more touch­downs to set the season's scoring record so far. The Beavers scored two touchdowns in both the first and third periods and made single scores in the second and fourth. Lisker tallied twice for Van Derzee in the second and third periods on passes from Santora. Tuesday's Contests

KDR downed the Finks in a ha rd fought scrimmage, 12-0. The Finks threatened early In the first pe­riod on Jennlng's long run dec]) in­to KDR territory. KDR held and the Finks lost the ball on clowns. Holliday then racked up a first down for KDR on a nice run to mid-field. Stone then threw a long pass to Dickenson In the end-zone for KDR's first score. The point was blocked.

In the last period, KDR scored again on a Holliday to Gallivan pa.'/S. The game ended with the ball on the KDR one-yard line In the Finks' possession after a long run by King.

All six teams will compete every Wednesday night a t 9 p. m. on alleys 1-G; and a cheer­ing section from Sta te would be welcome. Motion To Be Introduced Today

As yet there Is no MAA line to take care of the expenses of a bowling team, therefore the fee for this week's match will be taken care of by the petty cash fund. However, a motion will be made In Assembly today for an appropr ia­tion of $150. from the surplus for the purpose of supporting a Var­sity Bowling team. The money Is needed for the following purposes: a sanctioning fee, to the American Bowling Comm. of $.50; the bowling fee of $4.50; a team tip of $.50; and $1.25 per game toward the end of the season banquet and awards. With a season of twenty weeks planned, to last from this past Wednesday until Easter, with the exception of December 24th and 31st, this will run Into a budget of more than $135.00. Seven High IMcn to Bowl

Will Just ice Triumph? T h e cur ren t squabble over t he I

eligibility of an inter-collegiate I a th l e t e brings to the fore the yearly I r h u b a r b over the amateur s ta tus of ;

t h e big- t ime college footballer. J u s t as regularly as the football season rolls around, the old "amateur -o r -p r o " question pops up.

We refer to the case of Charl ie Just ice, ace half-back of the U. of Nor th Carolina. I t seems t h a t "Choo-Choo", as Justice is known in football circles, signed a p r o football contract while in the Navy. Now along comes the lawyer of a U. of Richmond player who h a d been suspended from the football squad because as a boy of fifteen he had signed a pro baseball con­t ract . Said attorney, "if my J o h n ­ny is suspended, then your "Choo-Choo" should also be given t h e heave-ho ." All well and good. Bu t let 's look at the whole football p ic­ture .

"Amateurs? . . . There Ain't None / " College football players of the

present day are no more amateurs t h a n Joe Dimag or Joe Louis or Sid Luckman. They are well paid for their services whether it 's in the form of free tuition or the fat check the Alumni slips Johnny Touchdown for his "expenses." Johnny is well fed, well housed and well taken care of. No less an au ­thority than Paul Galileo, ace Spor ts Editor for twenty years, says of college footballers,' "Amateurs . . . there ain ' t none." Galileo calls the false "amateur pretenses pu t up by the big-time colleges " the last s t ronghold of hypocrisy." No Just ice?

Don ' t get us wrong, We're all for bet ter college football and bet ter breaks for the college players. B u t we jus t can' t see why the n a m e colleges continue to kid t he public along by making a big issue of a player 's eligibility every so often. For If "Choo-Choo" is suspended you can rest assured t h a t there jus t a in ' t no JUSTICE.

Feature Editor Searches Albany For Ni/megen's Burgermeister

Do you upperclassmen remember last year's Nljmegan drive? Well, as a result of this city's generosity, the mayor from our adopted Dutch town visited Albany this last week to thank all those who had contri­buted to the fund. The NEWS was one of the papers in this city that secured an interview from our guest.

However, due to the lack of a "cut-system" in this school, our re­porter was not able to be there at the regular time scheduled for in­terviews, and had to spend the aft­ernoon searching in order to find Mayor Corning and his cohort, who were touring Albany. After spend­ing much time in City Hall, she was finally informed that her best chance to see him would be at the DeWitt Clinton, Tuesday evening, where dinner was being held in his honor.

A little discouraged, she left, planning to resume her task that evening. However, Lady Luck step­ped in at that point and drove the two mayors right past the City Hall, around the circle in front and over to Radio Center. It was here that the reporter listened to the Dutch mayor speak over the radio, and it was also here that she was able to secure an interview with the friendly, quiet-spoken Dutch man.

Our guest of honor was very con­genial about answering all ques­tions, and what information he had difficulty with, one of his three

Pi Gamma Mu Names Members

Marian Hancock, '48, President of Pi Gamma Mu, has announced that the following students have met the requirements for membership and have been Invited to join the State College Chapter. The students are: Seniors Stanley Abrams, Eugenia Baranowskl, Kathleen Bell, Martin Bortnick, Elaine Clute, Arlene Lav­ender, Annalee Levine, Norma Swinyer, Charles Trim, Gerhard Weinberg, Doris Wester, Selene Wolf; and Juniors Frederick Baron, John Fay, Margaret Franks, Robert Hardt, William Pawluckie and Mar­vin Wayne.

Other officers for the year are: Frances Sowa, '48, Secretary; Mar­ion-lee Watkins, '48, Treasurer, and Russell Bailey, '48, Vice-president, who will be in charge of the social functions for the year.

friends always supplied. As a re­sult, we learned that most of the goods that were sent from Albany have already been distributed, and those that have not, will be in the hands of the people who need them before winter sets in. The mayor also stated that the living condi­tions have improved a little since last year—very little. According to him, the food shortage is not too acute, but there is still a need for warm clothing.

The Mayor also said that Ameri­can teachers would be appreciated, and as he shook hands to leave, he smiled and said, "I'll see you in Nijmegen."

Sfarf AD Plays Tuesday in Page

On Tuesday, October 21, at 8:30 P. M. in Page Hall, Ellen Fay, '48, and Thomas Lisker, '49, members of the Advanced Dramatics Class, will present their plays which will open the A.D. season.

Lisker will direct a sophisticated comedy, with a cast Including Phyl­lis Witt Penn, '50, Everson Kinn, '49, Margaret Franks, '49, and Earle Jones, 'SO. Committee chairmen are: House and costumes, Louise McArdle Burns, '49; lights and sets, Marie Grieco, '49; props, Mary Cheatham, '49; and publicity is be­ing handled by Dramatics and Art Council.

In contrast to the sophistication of Lisker's comedy, Miss Fay will direct a slapstick comedy farce, "The Big Night," which is a satire on amateur theatrical groups. The lead will be played by Edith Dell, •48, and Joseph Keefe, '49. The supporting players are Ruth Fram-bach and Elaine Blsseo, Sopho­mores, and Donald Ely, Frederick Knurzer, Paul King, George Kline, Eleanor Guarlno, and Goldle Bren­ner, freshmen.

On November 4, Catherine Don­nelly and Mary Cheatham, juniors, will direct their dramas.

Council To Schedule

St. Mary's Elections Certain groups on campus mis­

interpreted the article concerning the St. Mary's Housing Project printed in last week's NEWS.

Previous to the fall semester, a temporary council was appointed by the Men's Housing Committee. George Poulos is Chairman of the Council, which consists of Walter Schick, Charles Frail, Francis An-

•dreone, and Peter Talorico. Three vacancies were filled on a tempor­ary basis by Lincoln Marzello, Mor­ris Gerber, and Alton Millen.

The temporary council has effi­ciently handled the problems in­volved in the preliminary organi­zation of the dormitory, and it is disorganized only in that the coun­cil is not student-elected. Accord­ing to Dean Stokes, the election of a permanent council will be held this week at St. Mary's, under the supervision of Myskania.

Students Nominate Queen (Continued from Page 1, Col. 5)

referred back to the immediately preceding count. At the present time, it is referred back to the first count.

4. Sample ballots of the coming election should be posted three days in advance on Myskania, D&A, and Draper bulletin boards.

5. The elections should be moved out of Page into the Commons. This will be tried Monday when fresh­men will vote for class officers.

Recieve Second Warnings Three freshmen have received sec­

ond warnings from Myskania. The penalty for a third offense is a pub­lic apology before Student Associa­tion.

The violators are Stuart Goldman, Stuart Goldman, Malcolm Falleck and William Duncan, freshmen.
