History Hikes Swiftly Onward With Bonnie Sophomore Class

by Sally Young

In the fall of '36, 298 freshmen, proudly wearing the yellow ribbon of the class of 1940, came into Drap ­er hall and then filed over to tlie auditorium of Page hall, where tests were given to determine I. Q.'s and what-have-you. In a daze the be­wildered freshmen ran over Sta te college, getting acquainted with the three r's rules, rooms, and routine.

Elections played un impor tant purl in the first lew weeks, and with Wall. Simmons anil Marge Baird as our guides, we started the first quar­ter ol our four-year sojourn in Stale.

On Moving-Up day, we proudly look our places as sophomores, in theory il not in fact, and realized Una one whole year had already passed, with promises of another .vein- oi fact, fun, and frolic on lis way, and with many firmly cement­ed friendships to bind u.s closer to Stale.

Hark to ail early start , with Kelly and Sullivan as our chosen leaders we welcomed the frosh with a Durl-

In this fashion, informal rivalry kepi pace witli formal activities, of all kinds. S tunts , sings, banner hunts , and mascot hunt saw the frosh come out second best, without even rain for an excuse! But mascot hun t was fun, altlio' we found only "Dirt In tlie Dark," contrary to popular beliefs.

In the early spring, the frosh got class of 1940!'

Soon we decided in renew o| ( | ac­quaintances at an informal dunce, which was conducted in the Ingle loom oi Hi,- Alumni Residence hail, in October. With another member ol our class, Rita Sullivan, becoming secretary oi the s tudent association, Joe Cappiello was selected as vice-president, it is under his competent management that the Sophs are conducting Soiree tonight.

An 'Honest' Honor System ? Will an honor system at State be a suc­

cess? To those who see only the superfi­cial facts, it would seem that an honor sys­tem should be successful. We disagree, however, to this extent—that some of the students would break down this system, here or at any other institution. The best example of how such a thing could come about is best illustrated by the petty thiev­ery that is current at this institution.

If the students cannot refrain from tak­ing other people's property, how can an honor system exist? Posted on the bulletin board, one sees, "Missing, one Besso cam­era . . ." When one leaves h.\s books on top of his locker or on his desk, a half hour later they are missing. This happens every day of the week, and yet we say we should trust the students.

The petty thieving that occurs, is a re­flection on the character and integrity of the entire student body. If the students cannot refraui from stealing, is it humanly possible that they can be trusted "on their honor" with the responsibility of going in­to an exam and stop the cheating which they do in their daily life?

Another important factor is that a min­ority of the students do not have a high sense of honesty. Fountain pens, pencils a"(l other small articles are lost, carelessly, daily; yet, how many of those who find these articles eve- return them to their rightful owner or to the lost and found de­partment in their school? Morally, every­one is bound to do this, but it is easier to "forget" that it doesn't belong to you than <t is to return those articles. So it would •be with the honor system.

This discussion is not an exaggeration of the facts as they occur. Look around and observe the numerous notices that say, "Missing," or watch those who cheat on an examination or a test. The number is ap­palling. What can we as students do, you would say. The only answer we have to of­fer is that one is morally responsible for his actions to himself alone. Let student opin­ion or his conscience do the rest!

We are not opposed to the honor sys­tem an it should be, but we feel that, prac­tically, it would not succeed. The unscrup­ulous cheat would break down the system and those who are honest cannot resist cheating when marks are the sole criterian of our grading system.

Stop Reforming Us

-COMMENTSTATER-Perenlally, and sometimes more often than that,

there appear In the NBWS Insistent "reform articles" which condemn and try to remedy some attitude of the State student body, At various times, there have been articles lamenting the existence In the student body of an air of extreme unconcern end indiffer­ence, the prevalent apathy and disinterest or, as the case may be, sophistication, and even the fact that some people, in their effort to become popular, have amassed too many offices. In other words, the range of complaints covers an enormous scope.

Naturally there can always be found something to complain about and some budding reformer to complain about it. But we all know that talk does not have much effect and that the Commentstater probably has even less, and that human nature will for a long time remain just as it is; nevertheless, even though we shall cease to comment on conditions that need improvement, the sentiment lies \/ithin us.

The puzzling of making some effective reform Is enough to make us despair and give up hope of ever seeing a perfect student body—and it is a good thing perhaps, because the student body must by this time be exasperated and saying, "Isn't there anything about us that is good?" Therefore, .students, you may ex­pect us hereaf r to .stop this "everlasting reform" movement to a degree at least.

The drive to drive out all "non-belongers" from the Activities office is still in full swing—for results are slow In coming and the effect of the drive up to this time has been very small. However, the so called non-members are asked not to further frequent the Ac­tivities office on pain of having- the door thereof per­manently locked so that admittance will be prohibited except to "belongers" who have keys.

For a long time we have been suffering from the congestion in the halls and on the staircases of Rich­ardson hall. It is inconvenient, a waste of time and liable to cause injury to someone trying to "mountain-goal" his way down or up. A remedy has been sug­gested which is as follows: that the lecture classes in Richardson hall be dismissed a minute or two before the bell rings, so that the rush to get out of the building may be diverted Into two channels.

And now for a final word of encouragement and praise to the Sophomores for their supreme efforts in providing the facilities for a grand Soiree tonight. Enumerated, these facilities are mainly Artie Shaw and his syncopatcrs, which need no description, the Aurania club, which needs even less description, and a bunch of the best people on earth attending the event. So come one (no stags permitted, however), come all and enjoy yourself more than ever before in your life.

Book of the Week: Homer Goes Modern

by Alice Bartlow The Trojan Horse, by Christopher Morley, J. I-

pincott Co., Philadelphia, 1937, 248 pp. (On sale at the co-op)

"It is earth's most famous town, so it belongs to everybody and to all times at once. You must build It in your own mind . . . We think a lot of NOW, but Isn't THEN always getting the better of it? Let's mix them together and nuike ALWAYS . . . "

This is part of the prologue of "The Trojan Horse" so aptly entitled "Imagine, Please."

Imagine, if you can, ancient Troy having, along with its walls and classic temples, perpendicular mod­ern skyscrapers, radio towers, filling stations and a .seaside roadhouse. Imagine also a Greek military en­campment just outside the town. Behind a huge screen the Wooden Horse i.s in the making. The Tro­jans can look down on the Greeks and see this pro­cess as it goes on. Fighting in tills "Selge of Troy" goes on from 0 to 8 . . . union hours one might say.

If we were to (Miter the Trojan camp we would find all the heroes such as Heclor, Paris, and Aeneas, cleaning up after a day of fighting. In the Greek camp would be Achilles, Ajax, Ulysses and Diomedes.

Priam, King of Troy, and Helen, the historical personnages of Importance plus ilium, ihe Radio Voice, Dr. Culchas, an economic expert and I'andarus, a fin­ancier would all be found within the walls of the city.

After the day's fighting the soldiers, both Greek and Trojan, relax and go down to the roadhouse by the sea—"Sarpedonl's" . . .

You ask how they get along together, these Greeks and Trojans? Well, use your imagination a little more and see the following: A neutral roadhouse with every opportunity for pleasure. A white line Is painted straight across the premises, which exactly divides the bar, the dining room, the dance floor and the terrace. Thus the soldiers enjoy the relaxations that make this continuous war endurable.

The legend of the Trojan Horse Is found In this book Just as it is found In Homer's Iliad. The same setting, the same i>eople and the same events In mod­ern language with modern ideas and Interpretations are contained In this work of Morley's.

Personal Viewpoints

EGO joins the rest of the va­cationing columnists, and while he's whipping up gobs of Ego­mania for subsequent issues, we want to say how eager we are to wolf this opportunity of airing our latest idea.

* * * * Of course we could break the

literary ice by discoursing on Soiree and Shaw, but we feel that our boss did such an ade­quate job of it last week that just a mention of it is sufficient. However, we must say that dur­ing the past few weeks we've come to realize more and more how much of a top-notcher Shaw is, and how fortunate the sophomore class is in obtaining him at the price they did. Soiree this year will no doubt be long remembered In State's social an­nals.

* * * * And speaking about dances

brings us around to our proposi­tion. We're still pulsating and pendulating from the highly successful All-State dance of a few weeks ago and wondering why we can't have more of them. Of course, we realize they're quite an undertaking and require a great deal of concerted action. Therefore we present our plan. Do you remember the vie da icing we used to have after the basketball games? We thought it was swelegant; we al­ways had a funful time and it seemed to us that every one else found it likewise. Well, why not have similar vie dances last­ing the entire evening on week­ends when nothing else is sched­uled? An informal, inexpensive affair like this, staged in the Commons with the admission set at ten or fifteen cents, would provide a neat bit of entertain­ment for all the social-seeking lads who spend their weekends warming sorority sofas.

An affair like this we feel would be quite easy to promote since it would not require the work and effort needed as in the case of the All-State dance, and expenses would be at a minimum level. Such a dance would have come in handy last weekend.

We welcome your suggestions and opinions, and if you want to contact us, don't hesitate. Of course, we realize that It's a little late in the season to start agita­tion, but we always have next year.

In past Egomania frequent invective has been directed at the blast furnace heat that pre­vails to fan the watery brows of the noon-day swlngsters in the Commons. Also the suggestion '"as made that the members of the vie committee might assume the duty of opening the windows, not one, but all, at the beginning of the daily session. We dare Hie vie committee to tell us why they refuse to heed this sugges­tion. Must we gasp for air until some lone benefactor of human­ity shows his daring by opening one of the windows when the point of suffocation i.s reached?

* * * * Before we close we want to

censure the neetareous Milnltes who displayed their rapacious tendencies by removing some of the Soiree posters. Such action can be expected from high school pu-pllls, but we feel it is entirely too unfair to those peo­ple who consumed their time and effort in putting them up.

Next issue the regular proprie­tor will return to the fold. To those of you who have borne with us we say farewell and hope you won't consider our first endeavor too lightly.

Greetings, salutations and hello! Motivated by spring and Soiree we of the class of 'wise fools' shall now attempt to serve up to you the latest morsels of dirt, gleaned from rumor, hearsay and incident.

We won't keep you gossip raven­ous fans waiting any longer, so we raise the curtain on the social pan­orama by describing the campus spring (?) scene: Studes loitering on Draper's steps . . . promenaders am­bulating along Western avenue . . steady couples still going steady . . . dancers like Schmltz, Murphy, et. al„ never missing a day . . . Karpen still pursuing the Golden mean . . . Crounse a-Cort-Ing a new femme . . . Tommy Roberts pounding the pave­ments of Western ave. to DO . . Edge doing an encore with Betty . . . Lamberton getting an eep rush . . . Losee starring on the front page of a local news rag . . . "Ace" Qulnn risk­ing contentment on a blind date . . Eckel still Dibble dating . . . Cox aiming at the Foote of the class . . . Flossie Nelbach renewing her Leese on College house . . . Franklin still maintaining his presidential rela­tionships . . . Max Edelstein flitting over trie floor boards at noon with a fellow Schenectadian . . "Flash" Cogger daily acquiring new dancing partners . . . Pearl Sandberg sing­ing "Moe Than Ever" after a week­end of reciprocity . . . Drooz playing tag with his dog in the Echo office

. . Doran abandoning his boycott of the noonday swing . . . Mitchell playing her Harp-er . . .

Speaker Friedlander grants him­self a point of high personal privi­lege and breaks precedent. He's tak­ing a Skidmore import to '40's fling tonight and promises a colorful sur-

Assembly Plans For Convention's Opening Sessions

Recent Session Approves Direct Primary, Recall,

Legislative Council

Six months of intensive research, study, and active interest in current state governmental issues will soon find its expression in the work of the State College Constitutional As­sembly now that the Constitutional Convention is finally underway at the State Capitol. Plans have been laid for a system of "buttonholing" the delegates in order to attempt an enactment into constitutional law of the many issues on which the State college students have "gone on rec­ord" as desiring to be discussed at the revision convention.

Ever since October 15, 1937, when Dr. Robert Rienow, instructor in government, addressed the student body and suggested that the "stu­dents of State organize Into an ac­tion group to encourage thoughtful consideration of the probable issues of the Constitutional Convention and to exert pressure wherever nec­essary in the interests of this As­sembly," weekly sessions of the "as­sembly" have discussed and debated many reforms in state government. Under the direction of Speaker Leonard Friedlander; Clerk Richard Lonsdale; and Publicity Director J. Edmore Melan.son, proposals have been given full consideration on the floor of the student assembly.

Convention Opens Concurrent witli the opening cere­

monies of the New York State con­vention, the Stale College Constitu­tional Assembly, with an added fer­vor, voted on four committee re­ports, approving three resolutions and defeating another.

Julius Hershkowitz, '39, and Ethel Little, '38, heading the committee on a Legislative Council for New York State, submitted a unanimous report supporting the resolution on the grounds that, "A legislative counci' will function under either unicam­eral or bicameral forms ol legisla­tures, will provide lor a more scien­tific schedule of bills to be consider­ed, is condusive to more enlightened legislation and will curtail the evils of last minute rushing of bills and excessive log-rolling."

Miss Little explained that a legis­lative council, composed of members of the legislature and experts in ihe field of government, would consider all the bills introduced at a short session of the legislature and then would "recommend a calendar ol bills" and provide time for consider­ation of Important matters and eli­mination ol "unnecessary and dil-atorious" bills. This plan calls for a "split-session" of the legislature, the first month devoted to introduc­tion of bills and then a second ses­sion, later in the year, tor voting and debating the bills recommended by the legislative council.

Unanimous Vote By a unanimous vole of the Con­

stitutional Assembly the measure was passed, and i.s to be .sent, along with the other resolutions approved, to the President of the Convention.

Similar approval was extended lo resolutions reported on by Herbert Frankel, '39 favoring u direct, open primary and by Blanche Kirshcn-bluni, '-11 who favored the recall ol all elected stale officials.

Despite the arguments ol .Joseph Bosley, '3D, who submitted a minor­ity report favoring the resolution calling for the application ol "reve­nues obtained from motor vehicle taxation solely lor highway con­struction and reconstruction," the Assembly voted to disapprove the plan.

Leading the opposition to ihe reso­lution was .1. Gordon Tabner, '39, who claimed that il the resolution were embodied ill die constitution it would "lend in reduce the general i women fund which has included in it all the i William Brophy, generul chairman expenses ol Ihe Mate, would cause ' j m h announced (he committees an increase ol some other tux, nntl | which will help In the arrangements would establish a biireuurocruc.v 111 state government,"

Following the debate on the reso­lutions, Speaker Friedlander an­nounced a plan lor "lobbying" at the convention and asked for student volunteers to assist in contacting delegates in order to secure favor­able action upon issues about which the college students have expressed their opinion.

Prominent Sophomore Class Members

Walter Simmons, Kita Sullivan, and Lloyd Kelly, left to right, prominent in sophomore activities. Simmons was president of the class in the freshman year. Miss Sullivan was secretary last year and Is now secretary of the student association. Kelly was treasurer last year and is now president of the class.

The department of librarianship will present Ruth Sawyer Durand in a program of story-telling as an In­troduction to reading, In Page hall a u d i t o r i u m , tomorrow at 2:30 o'clock, according to Miss Martha Prilchard, head of the department of librarianship.

State's Jitterbugs and Ickies Beat Out With Shavian Swing

From the start of his theme, Nightmare until the very last strains from his agony pipe, Artie Shaw and his New Music will pre­sent one of the hottest and also one of the most original programs that State swingsters have ever pounded out to.

Shaw, well known as one of the outstanding clarinetists of the day, is also well known in swingdom as a top notch composer of jive tunes. Tops among them for scene repro­duction and beautiful timing is Monsoon. Request this to hear a real swing super-special.

, Other pieces you might request to really get jltterbugged by this ork are his two own compositions, Free Wheeling, and Fee Fie, Ho Hum. It you're a blues song addict why not request the gang's special Evolution of the Blues which is a summary of most of the tunes of this type that Goodman played in his famous Car­negie hall concert. If you still want to hear more blues why not re­quest Blue Reverie from Ellington's music dipped pen.

Swing, us you know, has quite a battle on its hands at present on the subject of swinging the old bal­lads. Shaw has carried the warfare right into the yards of the bellicose with his downbeat version of It's A Long Way to Tipperary. Also he has the stock swingsations of the day, Annie Laurie, Loch Lomond and so on,

The Shavian group have probably as good a true swing group as the country boasts at the present time. Why? because they excel and pre­fer to play the old tried and true killer-dillers rather than the mod­ern mechanical pop' tunes. How-

A. of State col­lege in conjunction with the League of Nations association of Albany, will present Pierre de Lanux, noted French author and lecturer. The topic under discussion will be: How to read the foreign news.

Monsieur de Lanux was for ten years director of the Paris office of the League of Nations. He was war correspondent in the Balkans in 1912 and after that served in the French ambulance corps during part of the war. In 1916 he was appoint­ed a member of the French commis­sion to the United States, acting as laison agent for south central Eu­rope. In 1923, Lanux organized the French "Comitie d'action pour la Socicte des Nations." His work here was so brilliant that It led, in 1924, to his appointment as Director of the Paris office of the League of Nations.

Lanux likes best to be thought of in lols role of International civil ser­vant. He is a favorite in the prin­cipal cities of Europe as well as those of America. Hugh T. Lefler, North Carolina State College of Ag­riculture and Engineering, Raleigh, North Carolina, says: "He is one of the most intelligent scholars of in­ternational affairs I have ever had the pleasure of knowing." It is also interesting to note that in Europe he is regarded as an expert on Am­erican affairs.

Miss Helen Hall Moreland, dean of women, and Miss Ethel Van Bendheusen of Albany, co-chairmen of the League of Nations associa­tion of Albany, bring the famous lecturer to the college. This lcciure is given by the association as part of Slate college's peace celebration Which is endorsed by Student coun­cil.

William Brarit, Jean Edgcumbe and Ramonia Van Wie, seniors, are the student co-chairmen who are sponsoring the lecture. They have made tentative arrangements to briny Lanux here Wednesday after­noon for a forum discussion.

Admission lor the lecture will be 25 cents for .students or the student tax tickets.

Chem Club Shows "House of Magic"

On Monday night, April 11, at 8:00 o'clock the chemistry club will pres­ent in Page hall auditorium, "The House of Magic," to be given by the General Electric laboratories, accord­ing to William Mollenkopf, '38, presi­dent of the club.

"The House of Magic" Is the title applied to the research laboratories of the General Electric company of Schenectady. These feats of modern physics and chemistry are so spec­tacular that they may well be term­ed "magical." The laboratories oc­cupy two large buildings of several stories each and contain equipment and apparatus suitable for advanced research into the higher fields of science. It is here that Dr. Irving Langmuir, winner of the Nobel prize in chemistry, carries out many of his experiments.

Henry D. Middel, of the General Electric company's "test" depart­ment will exhibit and explain some of the more interesting physical and chemical phenomena. Included In the demonstration will be such tilings as transmitting of a human voice by means of a beam of light which was used between the dirigi­ble Los Angeles and the General Electric station, an artificial fever machine, a stroboscope, for those who understand the workings of such an instrument, and many other interesting exhibits.'

The program is arranged so that it coincides with the 25th anniversary of the founding of the club in April, 1913. The chemistry club is one of the oldest and best known organi­zations on the campus.

The club invites all science stu­dents of the school and all those who are interested, to attend this demon­stration. It also extends its invi­tation to the science teachers in the public schools of the capital district. Admission to the demonstration is free.

Two Tournaments Nears Completion

The Pitcher's

Box L.F.R.

Very quietly, and undisturbed by any trumpets and fanfare, two tour­naments have practically gone to completion. They are none other than the pool and chess tournaments which started some three weeks ago.

Chess Tournament According to Loe Durllng, '41,

manager, the newly crowned chess champion is Doug Murphy, '40, of the Independants, and runner-up, Herb Prankel, '39, of Kappa Beta.

In the pool tournament Gad Bod-ner, '41, defeated Len Varmette, '41, to reach the finals with A. Cherro, '40, Who defeated Tom Roberts, '39. The finals will be played some time this week before the Easter recess begins, at the Palace Recreational Center, located on Central avenue.

Joe Bosley, manager of the cur­rent spring ping-pong tournament announces that the winner is Jack Murphy, '39. Murphy will play Jim Snover, '41, the winner of the Pall tournament to decide the champion of tile paddle artists at State.

Golf Pro to Give Lessons M. A. A. announces that the ser­

vices of Gerry Dywer, pro player out at the Albany Municipal Golf course have been obtained lor those men Interested In learning how to swing a driver, nlblic, mashle, or what have you. The nominal charge for the State student Is ono dollar per six lessons. Mr. Dywer will give lessons every Monday afternoon between 3:30 mid 4:30. A tournament will be held, the finalists of which will participate in the Spring Sports Carnival.

Answering tlie first cull for those interested In Badminton turner the tutelage of Ted Llpschitz, city singles champion, were twelve men true and strong. Holding a lniproptti tour­nament among themselves, Charles Gaylord, '38, came out on top.

In the tournament the two final­ists, Al Cooper, '41, and Prank Rick-man, '40, will play It out for the badminton champion at State some time before the Spring recess begins.

Willi basketball and the cold win­try days a thing of the past, our young man's thoughts turn to . . . baseball . . . Yes . . . Baseball has come into its own . . . . This year's schedule of ten games is the biggest and most ambitious in years . . . No flys in the ointment here with only one man lost through graduation . . . Captain John Cullen.

We hear . . . but hope it isn't true . . . that pitcher Paul Schmitz, a veteran of three year's battles, and Larry Balog, sophomore star of the Keystone . . . will not be able to play this year because of . . . some reason.

Speaking of vacations, the fly-hounds will be pretty busy keeping in trim . . . the Saturday before they return to the old grind . . . They will invade Pratt . . . in New York . . . burning to avenge last year's 5-3 defeat . . . the boys will bring home the bacon.

By the by, the classes represented on the team are few and far between . . . with tlie Sophs taking seven positions . . . and while on tlie sub­ject . . . M. A. A. declares that because the newly planned Intra­mural competition . . . on a group house and independent's basis . . . lias proved so successful . . . It is planned that a soft-ball league will be formed on the same basis. Come on fellows, sign up with your group house and hand M. A. A. your lists of athletes before they can say Jack Robinson . . . start tlie ball rolling!

As for competitive sports . . . wouldn't It be a good idea for the winning team . . . to receive a prize . . . so that they could remember their victory, the fun, and the "happy-go-lucky" time they had? . . . M. A. A. did mention some re­wards . . . at tlie beginning of tlie year . . .

This column gives M. A. A. a vote of thanks . . for the biggest, most ambitious, intramural program it planned , . . and carried out to 90% success or better . . . In tlie past M. A. A. talked, now they've been on tlie Q. T. and went into action . . .

It is too bad that the year was too far advanced (???) lor the Minlstrel show to be a real success . . . so . , . it Is called off . . . We understand 11 will bo held early I his fall. . . As much as we've seen of It . . . The End men's gags . . . tlie extra parts . . . the stiperdelagorgeous quartet and chorus .

Beginning last Monday, the Pur­ple and Gold batsmen nave been practising intensively at Beverwyck Park under the watchful eye of Coach G. Elliott Hatfield, in pre­paration for the first game of the season which will take place during the spring recess, April 23, against Pratt Institute in New York city.

Practice Begins Despite the cold wave that has

hit Albany, a squad twenty-two strong, including ten veterans, show­ed up for practice and are at present battling it out for varsity berths.

Captain John O'Brien, lone sen­ior on tlie team who was on the re­ceiving end last season, will fill the gap at the initial sack left open by Roswell Fairbanks, who has been added to the pitching staff.

Thus far the keystone sack re­mains an open question with the re­turn of Larry Balog to that position remaining in doubt. This would break up the Danielwicz-Balog com­bination at short and second. It will be remembered that Balog played A-l ball at second, checking smooth­ly and effortlessly in every play with Danielwicz.

There is doubt as to who will fill the hot spot this year. With the probability that pitcher Paul Sch­mitz, who is a veteran of three years and was booked for third base this year, will not return to uniform, it still remains open. The prospective candidates for the hot spot include: Bill Thomas and John Shearer.

Strong Pitching Staff The pitching staff, bolstered by

Fairbank, includes "Wheeze" Leh­man, John Shearer, Dar VanKeuran, Frank Augustine, and Roy McCreary, two prospective hurlers, will not see real action until their throwing arm returns to par. With such a pitch­ing staff in prospect (remembering last year's record) tlie coach will be relieved of some of his worries.

Tlie trio that played the outer garden position last season will re­main the same. They are Dar Van­Keuran, Frank Quattrocchi, and Bill Barrett.

In addition to O'Brien at the re­ceiving end, there will be Caley Aug­ustine and Gordon Peattle.

Pratt Game On April 23, the Peds invade Pratt

Institute, in New York, determined to avenge last year's 5-3 defeat at the down-staters' hands.

Those of you who saw the game will remember tlie disastrous second Inning, in which tlie Pratt boys swung into every pilch that John Cullen gave them, putting across four tallies before lie regained his control and retired the side.

From then on the game developed Into a pitcher's battle. Cullen, and Schmitz, who replaced the captain in the eighth, held the Pratt boys to one lone run.

In spite of the fact that the boys haven't practiced for any length of time to show their real abilities, there is no doubt about the fighting mood of the Hatfield nine. They are determined to go downstate and shellac Pratt in the initial game of the season, by bringing home the bacon. Although State will not be there physically, let us give them our moral support.

M. A. A. Council Awards Cross-Country Letters

M, A. A, council has an­nounced that the following men, six in number who will be awarded letters and certificates in accordance with the M. A. A. rulings for crosscountry are manager Joe DeRusso, captain Harold Haynes, seniors; Anthony Wilczynski, Walt Russ, Juniors; and Louis Francello and L. Frank Rickman, sophomores.

According to the rulings of M. A. A., a man, in order to be awarded a letter, must finish among the first seven men in a race, and must participate in every meet of the year, unless incapacitated by sickness.

It is interesting to note that the men who won their letters were in one of the first meets of the year when they whitewashed Bard college, placing men in first,, second, third, sixth, and seventh positions. Rickman, Wilczynski, and Haynes finished one, two, three in that order, with all three under the old mark set two years ago.

Spring Season D e l a y s

A n d

D a t e s

-B.C. At first glance it seems regrettable

that nearly all of the spring sports I have been suspended until after Easter recess. Upon furtner consid­eration, however, this action of W. A. A. council appears highly laud­able. With the pre-vacation accum­ulation of academic work and other extra-curricular activities, sports participation was practically nil. Sports captains were wasting their time in conducting classes of one, two or three persons, since all in­struction given during that time would have to be repeated when at­tendance increased after Easter. Furthermore, prevailing weather conditions are not exactly favorable to out-door sports. However, golf will not be discontinued because the instructions have been contracted for.

Plans for the telegraphic meet to be conducted after Easter are getting started under the direction of Jinny Elson, who recently communicated with various colleges in the state, inviting them to participate, but as yet has received no definite answer, or suggestion of a date.

W. A. A. Sponsors Golf This Year

P e g g y H o r a C a p t a i n s S p o r t ; Gol f C l a s s W i l l P l a y

A t C i t y C o u r s e

Golf, which W. A. A. has included in its sports program for the first time this season, and even now only on a tentative basis, has aroused en­thusiasm which far exceeds all ex­pectations of members of council.

The sport was introduced rather dubiously, but if its popularity con­tinues through the season, it will be incorporated as a permanent part of the spring season, and possibly of the fall season.

Captain Peg Hora has decided that candidates for credit in golf will be required to complete a course of six lessons, costing one dollar and ex­tending over a period of three weeks. However, the course is still open to late entrants, since two or three make-up class classes will be con­ducted at the end of the three week period. The lessons are given every Monday and Wednesday at 3:30 o'clock in the gymnasium by Jerry Dwyer.

The fifteen golf enthusiasts are at present receiving instructions about preliminary exercises to develop sup­pleness, and to help perfect the stance, the grip and the follow-through. After these essentials have been fairly well mastered, the girls will practice their form in driving, using paper discs to assure them­selves of "keeping their eyes on the ball."

Further requirements stipulate that each candidate for credit complete actual playing of thirty-six holes at the Municipal Golf course. Admis­sion to the course is 50 cents on week days and 75 cents on Satur­days, Sundays and holidays. Golfers are expected to play In twosomes or foursomes and to keep their own scorecards, which will be turned In to Captain Hora at the end of the season.

For players who do not have their own equipment, W. A. A. has avail­able eleven drivers and twenty-four putters.

M.A.A. Calls off Minstrel Show Because of Inadequate Support

by C. E. Augustine Doomed to failure, mainly because

of inadequate support from the men of State college, the minstrel show which was to have been presented in the early part of May by Men's Athletic Association was called off lor the present season by John O'Brien, '38.

Much elaborately and conscienti­ously planned work vanished with the announcement that there would be no minstrel show. Difficulty in obtaining tlie Page hall auditorium for rehearsals was advanced as tlie main cause of the demise of perhaps the biggest tiling which ever came to the institution in the way of hilar­ious entertainment and comedy. "No provision on the soclul calendar" is another excuse—and a lame one at that—which was presented—but be­tween you and me, we know that these are only minor factors.

Despite I he enthusiastic ballyhoo which tills affair received, the male assortment of this illustrious Alma Muler lulled to donate even their] moral support. Every one who was asked conceded that it was an excel­lent idea; but very few set out to uphold tills good Idea. The first practice sessions saw only eighteen men with vogue ambitions, and very little interest; the next one found a couple of others. Never at any time were there more than twenty-five people, and it is safe to say that very few of these oame twice.

If one were to ask Coach Hatfield how many baseball candidates there are, he'd say, "Not more than twenty-two," and yet, if you could have heard how many said they were out for baseball, you'd believe that the entire school had gone crazy over this national pastime.

Every one looks forward to a lead­er and there are very few others who are as capable as Ed Reynolds— especially in preparing such a show.

I Trying to get singers was harder than trying to get gum off the seat of the pants; and yet, if one were to invade the shower room directly after gym, he would find a rare as­sortment of voices—some tenors, some baritones, some basses—some good, some better, and a lot bad. In confidence, perhaps that application of burned cork might help to Im­prove the faces of these Barrymores and Taylors—some of them, anyway.

This lack of support cast upon the rocks something which had all the possibilities in tlie world in the line of laughable and gay entertainment. Old plantation and river songs, the best in quips and cracks, delightful trios, quartets, chorus ana commun­ity singing, are all gone with the wind—for this year, at least.

Yet, despite the discouraging result which this year's attempt lias suf­fered in endeavoring to revive the defunct "Troubadors," arrangements are being made to provide a date on the social calendar for an M. A. A. minlstrel to be presented during the first semester of the coming term.

John O'Brien, president of the association, wishes to thank Ed Rey­nolds, who wrote the script, organi­zed tlie songs and directed the few rehearsals, for his valiant efforts. O'Brien is grateful also to George Ainyot, Puul Dittniivn, and all the others who did their utmost in try­ing to make the best of a bad situa­tion. He sincerely wishes tlie next attempt all the success and luck of which this first effort was devoid.

Kline, Cornell Official, Pays Visit to College

Kennel h Kline, associate director nl the milled religious work at Cor­nell university and a member of the staff ol the stale Student Christ ian Movement visited the campus on Wednesday and Thursday I" inter­view men Interested in at tending the Silver Bay summer conference.

Silver lla.\ is a student planned student executed conference spon-.1111-iI by the Sta le Student Christ ian Movement.

'I'lie theme lor this year's confer­ence is "Sources of Power for Real-istic Living." Outs tanding leaders in i he lields of religion, marriage and personal adjustment , philosophy, and campus problems will meet in- j formally with s tudents for discus­sion.

S la te College was represented at the 1937 conference by 0 girls. Chair­man for the women's delegation is J ane t Gurney, '30, Through the efforts of the Men's Silver Bay Pro­motion committee under J o h n Edge, it is expected tha t this year the men at S ta te College will also be repre­sented.

Those who were found unsatisfactory clue to speech defects or poor heal th were then dismissed.

However under the new plan, these tests will be given during the sum­mer before the candidate is admit ted as a member of the freshmen class. Thus if anyone is found unsatisfac­tory and dismissed he will be saved the embarassment and disappoint­ment tha t would result under the old system. Also any person rejected will have the al ternative of matr icu­lating at another institution.

Each prospective freshman, under the new plan, after filing an appli­cation, will come to Albany between July 11 and August 15 for a personal interview, speech and voice tests, and a physical examination. The candidate first will have an in ter­view with three faculty members of the committee on admissions who will ra te him on such qualities necessary in a good teacher, taking especial note of appearance, person­ality, culture, conduct, and command of English. Following this, the can­didate will be given a complete speech and voice test, recently de­vised by Mr. William G. Hardy, in­structor m English. This test is the result of extended research work on the part of Mr. Hardy during the past year. These tests will be con­cluded with a thorough physical ex­aminat ion by the college physician. Any remedial defects will then be corrected at once.

This system of interviewing can­d i d a t e s lor admission was first put j into operation last summer when seventy transfer s tudents applied for

'admission. Due to the fact tha t there were only thirty vacancies, this

I procedure was adopted in order to dele imine the more preferable s tu­dents, The plan was found so sat is­factory that its operation is now

'being put into effect for next year's entering students.

The plan, of course, has its ad­vantages and disadvantages, but through its thoroughness it will at least serve as a good means of se­lecting those candidates from the usual 1200 applicants who will make good teachers,

Nelson Releases Schedule For State Summer Session

Critics Praise Donahue In Current Stage Role

Theatergoers this season have been interested in the modern p r o d u c t i o n of Shakespeare ' s "Julius Caesar," staged by Orson Welles. The play, in the n a t u r e of an experiment, is done wi th ­out the conventional stage p ro ­perties, and in modern dress, with some a t tempt to sat i r ize the present-day dictators.

But what makes the play more interesting to Sta te college s tu ­dents is the fact t ha t Vincent Donahue of the class of 1936 is a member of the cast of one of the road shows tha t is touring the country. Donahue, who was prominent in college d ramat ics , has the role of Cinna, the poet, who was mistaken for Cinna , the conspirator, and k i l l e d b y Caesar's followers.

Although the role is not one of primary importance necessarily, Donahue has been giving such fine performances tha t critics have given h im especially com­plimentary write-ups. The Bos­ton critics mentioned the s y m ­pathet ic and subtle i n t e rp re t a ­tion tha t lie has ma in ta ined .

As an undergraduate , r o n a h u e was not only active in the week­ly Advanced Dramat ics plays, but played the role of Tom P e t t i -grew in the May production of "Berkeley Square."
