Lrimson Tide"Holds Class Banquet Tonight

Tlic annual Senior banquet will be held this evening at the Ten Eyck Hotel at (i P.M. Miss Joan Smith, '•15, President of the class, is general chairman of the affair.

As in former years, the class will pay a portion of the bill, amounting this year to $1.00. The remaining $1.28 will be paid by the members of llie class attending the banquet.

The following committees have been appointed: entertainment, Pa­tricia Mulcahy, assisted by Robert Loucks, and Edna Marsh; welcoming of guests, Anna Dillon, assisted by Margaret Schlott, Paulino Klein and Betty Kay Walsh.

TUei'6 will be two members of the faculty present, but tlieso have not been announced.

Tetley-Kardos, an American born and made musician, early began his music studies. At the age of eight he was writing melodies and at eleven he gave his first recital. From then until he was fifteen, Tet­ley-Kardos managed and arranged his own annual concerts on his native west coast. During this time he became an accomplished accom­panist and was later to be engaged by such outstanding artists as Lily Pons, Lotte Lehmen, Gladys Swart-hout and Grace Moore.

When he was thirteen, Tetley-Kardos had his first song "Spanish Serenade" published. Following this in rapid succession came a radio contract, a widely acclaimed recital at the Hollywood Bowl, and several solos with the Los Angeles Philhar­monic Orchestra.

Still in his twenties, Tetley-Kardos is called a "musical institution" on the west coast where he is accus­tomed to play thirty concerts a season — a five and six times re­peater, by popular demand. Of his appearance in the Hollywood Bowl it was said, "Musically sensitive, Rich­ard Tetley-Kardos chose a work of hidden beauty for his Bowl debut . ."

When he appeared with the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra for the first time, a music critic wrote, "The Los Angeles Orchestra chose Richard Tetley-Kardos to be soloist and the large audience ap­proved the choice enthusiastically. At the conclusion of his performance of the Beethoven (Emperor) Concer­to, he was recalled again and again. Distinctly Important among the younger generation of pianists and equal to the best of them, ho has the gift of beguiling his hearers."

Admission to the Choral Concert will be by student tax ticket. Regu­lar tickets will be $.1)0 and student tickets $.36.

The freshman class will take charge of today's Stamp Day, usual­ly presided over by War Activities Council itself.

machinations of Mr. Inkwell and Mrs. Pencil who hope to lure the cool, demure heroine from the bea­ten path. Since no villainess Is threatening without a foreign ac­cent, Miss Heck will render her lines in that manner. Not only does the plot include an actual strike threat but it will be highlighted by the fatal shooting of one of the main characters.

Miss Buetow will be heard as the director-author of the "most stu­pendous drama of the century." The cold, calculating villain intent offers plenty of opportunity upon gaining the pure heart of the humor and comedy. heroine, come what may, is por­trayed by Wilbur Shift, while slink­ing across the stage as the wordly-wise temptress involved passionately with the villain will come Miss Hecht. The innocent center of chaos will be Patricia Mulcahey who is in the throes of despair until she is snatched from fate's clutches by the handsome hero, James Crandall.

The remainder of assembly will be devoted to announcements.

STATE COLLEGE NEWS, FRIDAY, JANUARY 11, 1945

Don't Be A Sucker . . There are, in State College, some frustrated in­

dividuals who love to make life miserable for every­one else. Usually they are students who have failed to attain their original objective in college activities. The first semester is a prime time for these sadists— with a crop of still new freshmen and a goodly num­ber of Sophomores who suddenly realize that their college life is passing rapidly. Their psychology is simple—like throwing bricks.

"Hello, Frosh. Did you get a bid?" The fresh­man shakes her head negatively. "Too bad. Guess that fixes you. No use even trying out for an activity. The sororities have them all wrapped tip!" Triumphantly she marches off. The dis­illusioned little freshman takes a last long look at the activities' offices. Sorrowfully she wipes away her tears and, with a sigh, opens "The Fundamen­tals of Physical Science."

Of course, a pledge or new member of the so-called weaker sororities is often game sport. But even sororities get monotonous after awhile, so Frustrated Hunter is off to new hunting grounds.

"You Jewish?" she asks. A nod. "Myskania's something you can dream of, chum. Don't you know State is famed for its religious prejudices?" As she sweeps off in a trail of sulfurous fragrance, she leaves behind a girl, bewildered, puzzled, who solemnly places a chip on her shoulders for pro­tection from a rumor, and, likely as not, keeps it there for four years.

Now—the sororities are unhappy (for being painted in such a black, blalck shade), the fresh­men with bids are unhappy, the freshmen without bids are unhappy; the Jews are unhappy (because they don't have a chance) and everyone else is un­happy at being falsely accused of religious intol­erance . . . But, oh, the Frustrated Hunter is happy! She thinks joyously of the Mock Turtle dropping salty tears into the prospective Mock-Turtle soup, and she laughs and laughs . . .

But somewhere along the line, our charming sadist had misplaced her glasses, and, being far-sighted, she couldn't see the things happening right in front of her . . . that is, she couldn't until the Ghost of State College Present took her on a tour. And so . . .

"But it can't be" she screamed, pointing to Mys-kania. "They're all from different sororities—and from different religions, too!"

On and on went the tour until all the activities had been seen . . . and in the majority there were independents and sorority girls, and there were Catholics, Protestants, and Jews. In some few she saw her sad tales of woe in action—the few where State students lacked the courage to attempt to break a sorority ring and left them in undisputed possession—and rightly so, for St. George's dragon was never slain by the rabbit-hearted.

Frustrated Hunter awakened with a sob as her ears rang with the rattling of chains, and shackled students threw off their bonds of mental slavery; and little independents and sorority girls of all faiths, entwined arms and tripped merrily off to school.

Moral: 99% energy, ambition, talent.

VUGAQHOHU By SHIRLEY PASSOW

"Happy New Year!" echoed with rare irony when 1945 took; over. The German counter-offensive was beating our forces back into Belgium and in the Saar region. Budapest withstood the Red Army and war news from China trickled into nothing. British and American newspapers were luxuriating in mutual mud-slinging—the British mocked our missing foreign policy, we flayed the Churchill disaster in Greece— when abruptly we discovered Von Rundstedt's near-blitz. The mud splattered out, and those who had been calling for greater unity among the free world's leaders were heard again. In this country, the new aides to Secretary of State Stettinius were sworn in, unscarred by Congress' attack; all but Archibald MacLeish had been accused of monopolist business and pro-Fascist records. Henry Wallace remained the man without a job, though hopeful rumors linked him with the Commerce department. The American press scored Labor for provoking munitions shortages on the Western Front, though Senator Mead and others had blamed shortages on inadequate supply lines and other military factors. As the final dash o. arsenic in our post New Year's cocktail, Rep. Rankin moved the resurrection of the Dies Committee ("Red Herrings on the line — down payment required.") Something like reason returned with Pres. Roosevelt's National Service Act demand on Jan. 6. Industrial manpower is needed in war plants—whose executives last week were whistling about reconversion to civilian production. Today's estimate is 900,000 workers, to be recruited from 4,000,000 deferred men. The President urged a draft of 10,000 nurses, but professional lead­ers frowned on a bill which wouldn't draft all women. (Watch to see if the color line on thousands of eligi­ble Negro nurses is now relaxed by the pending draft.) Finally, nearly a million men will be inducted into the Army in the next six months—double earlier fig­ures. Unless Congress stalls with gap-filler bills (like Rep. May's Work or Fight BUD the National Service Act will carry this nation into the war at least waist deep.

Now that charges and counter-charges have lost their ack-ack Intensity, it appears the United Nations leaders will meet again, perhaps after FDR's inaugur­ation Jan. 20. There is considerable friction In need ol sandpapering. Although Greece has a premier, in­stead of the reviled George II whom Churchill had planned to reinstate, the United Nations' stand on all liberated nations must be clarified. Desperation heightens the felt need for an international organiza­tion, though many writers arc guarding against propagandizing for a world league which will be a cure-all for global troubles. The former isolationist from Michigan, Sen. Vundenberg, this week proclaim­ed thai disarmament must be enforced against Ger­many and Japan, to ensure collective security and remove Britain's and Russia's fears thai the two of them must police Europe to keep peace. The United States has a Job to do, If we are to overcome Europe's growing distrust of us.

The voting will not concern the location or building plans of the project, as these factors will be de­termined at a later date. Organization of Student Board

The important thing now, Miss Garfall stated, is to get the Student Board organized so that they can begin work immediately. They will start work with the collection of pledges from members of the Class of '44, and will conduct a vigorous campaign to interest members of

Student Council, Big 8 Committee Discuss Goals

Members of the "Big 8" Committee attended the regular Student Coun­cil meeting Wednesday night lo dis­cuss the goals of the project and a plan for the distribution of the pro­fits. This was the last council meet­ing of Ihe semester.

Last spring the Big Ten netted approximately $1,800, and Student Association voted to invest the money In War Bonds and event­ually use the funds for war veterans' scholarships. This year, again, the committee will present several pos­sible uses for the profits and State students will vote on the proposals.

It was announced al the Council meet ing thai a permanent chart of school organization offices will be put up In the Student Council office In the Commons by the end of this semester or Ihe beginning of next semester. The chart will be ar­ranged so that the names of office holders may bo changed from year to year,

Lashinsky Dupes Weber With Crystal Gazing Farce

This week Mr. Lashinsky, fresh from vacation, has turned to crystal gazing. There he stood in the middle of the Commons, surrounded by gaping and gasp­ing idolaters, as an unsuspecting victim approached.

"Mr Weber,", he shrieked, "just work out this simple little math problem and I guarantee to re­veal the name of the little woman who will one day grace your fire­side." Mr. Weber, who still wasn't quite up lo par because it was only l o'clock in the after­noon, dutifully covered two sheets of paper and chewed up *the greater part of a pencil while everyone held his breath. Finally, wearing a haggard look and bare­ly able to lift the sheet of paper, he whispered hoarsely, "The an­swer is 1447."

"Fine," Lashinsky gloated, as he thumbed through a book of Math Tables. "The name of your wife is . . . Mrs. Weber," he hissed, as Hal quietly collapsed and the audience gleefully screamed with malicious laughter.

Basketball League Opens All Teams See Action

By Joan Hylind

Years ago certain members of WAA dreamed of an old-fashioned Slelgh-ride. The joys of "dashing through the snow" etc. appealed to them. Plans went rapidly forward. People signed up; horses were con­tacted and hired for the occasion. But all did not go well. There were complications to mar these Utopian plans. The snow melted, the sleigh was conscripted to replace a car for active duty, the driver was re-classi­fied and even the OPA conspired by asking, "Is this trip necessary?" But dreams of men do not die; they are nourished and grow in secret till they come once more into the open.

So it was with the dream of a sleigh-ride and now is the time for it to come once more into the realm of reality. Tomorrow night the WAA sleigh-ride becomes a fact. This time we feel that the event will really come off. The snow seems to be lasting and all other factors are favorable.

It is something that WAA can be given credit for sponsoring. We would like to see more of them. State college students need things to get them more out into the open, the fresh air. Seriously, it would probably reduce the amount of colds and various other germs now making the rounds if people were more active in outdoor sports. I t would even be a good idea to utilize the available snow, ice and Wash­ington Park in organized skating and skiing parties. Parting Shot

An item of possible interest to former critics of page four is the fact that work on the News was help up by the fact that two mem­bers of the Sports staff were out giving their all for WAA and MAA.

The basketball league is off to a fast, furious and rather crowded start. We are literally snowed un­der by games, scores, etc. But, don't get us wrong, we love it. Never let it be said that we have objected to an over supply of news. What WiU Happen?

The outcome of the tournament, which seemed doubtful, now looks a little clearer. We are probably be­ing presumptions in making pre­dictions after seeing the teams in action only once each, but here goes.

From where we sit, it looks as if this is Newman Hall's year, Their teamwork is already perfect and the season has just begun. They should be an unbeatable combination by the end of the year, Newman has always had a smooth team but somehow they have never made the grade. We say '45 is their year because they have been hit the least by recent graduations and such, they work well as a unit and their spirit is excellent.

At this writing, KD and Phi Delt appear to be the only serious threats to Newman's peace of mind. KD has retained many of the mem­bers of last year's near-champion­ship team while Phi Delt has al­ways had a steady, strong squad. Psi Gam, Chi Sig and Sayles, the remainder of last year's Big 4 have lost most of their former strength and have been defeated already this season,

Of course, it is early in the season to be too dogmatic about the results. Anything can happen. Strange things can and do take place in WAA basketball tourneys. One observation, we do make is that all teams need practice,

Newman; KD, Phi Delt Appear As Favorites

Last week's spirited cage tilts re­sulted in some very close contests. BZ emerged victorious over the girls from Thomas More House by a score of 18-14. The Whiz Kids won over the Psi Gams. The final score was 18-14. The Rares suc­ceeded in upsetting the AE Phi quintet to the tune of 12-4. The contest which seemed to be a shut­out from the start took place be­tween Newman and Stokes Hall. At the first whistle Newman's ex­perienced hoopsters showed some very fast playing, against the equal­ly speedy Stokes defense. Maggio's fifteen points led the Newman squad to a 29-7 victory over the Stokes Hall lassies.

On Tuesday evening Wren Hall was defeated 20-7 by a strong Phi Deltl team. Seymour was high scorer for the Phi Delts, claiming 12 of the 29 points, She was fol­lowed closely by Silvernall who scored 11 point. Vernoy and Stew­art were strong arms on the Phi Delt defense. Michael led the Wren quintet with 4 points.

Another upset of the evening was the tilt between the powerful KDs and the Dynamiters which resulted in a score of 17-3 with KD on top. Smith and Day shared scoring hon­ors with six tallies each. Sander­son and Shoup displayed their usual good guarding and held the opponent to one goal.

The final game of the evening saw a fast moving Gamma Kap team triumph over last year's champs, the Chi Sigs, by a score of 25-13. The Madison Avenue squad definitely lacked effective passwork and coordination, but rallied several times only to be set back in any attempt by the strong Gamma Kap quintet. Quinn led the victors with 11 points. Pedi-sich followed adding 8 tallies to the Gamma Kap score. Garfall proved to be Chi Sig's mainstay making her teams' 13 points.

On Wednesday evening Psi Gam and AE Phi fought out a close con­test ending in a 9-6 win for AE Phi. Fisher led the AE Phi offense with 4 points while Sabatine took all honors by clinching the 6 points of the final score for Psi Gam. The Rares and the Whiz Kids contended in the closest game of the evening. However the Rares again came out on top defeating the Whiz Kids by a score of 17-16. Davidson, of former court fame gained 13 points to bring the Rares to win over the Whiz Kids. Tilden spark plugged the Whiz Kids with 16 points.

The final game proved to be the most exciting, for at least the first half, when B25 encountered a hard-fighting Stokes Hall squad. The game got off to a flying start with both teams displaying a valiant struggle and the first quarter end­ed in a score of 6-6. Griffan and Connors, newcomers on the court, showed some skillful guarding and held the powerful BZ offense re­markably well. Baintan and Sowa on the Stokes offense displayed a good deal of steady and hard play­ing but were helpless before Dunn and Bushnell. The second half found the BZ's taking up their usual good playing and they quick­ly took the leaf! which resulted in a 36-12 victory.

Bowlers Double In Brass When Pin-Boys Disappear

Any fagged men around school should be shown compassion by all. The bowling last Tuesday night proved to be much more strenuous than any one ex­pected.

First of all, they were speeded up by a tyrannical alley oper­ator who wanted to get the al­leys cleared for the next league to follow. Secondly, there was a dearth of pin boys and the one under-sized waif who was posing as one often was on the brink of disaster with all his jumping from one alley to the other.

Time after time, as soon as he had thrown his second ball, one of the boys would dash back to the pit to give the harried sticker a much-needed hand. At the end of the match most of the boys were beat.

Ah yes, bowling is a rugged sport.

Sport of Knight Open to All

Pool for years men have bent over a green table and with lengthy sticks have been poking these woods at innocently colored balls only to watch them plink into deep holes at the tables edge.

Since the days of yore this kingly pastime has enchanted the might­iest possessors of muscles who, rather than being out jousting in the fields, would bend in knightly attire over feudal oak tables and chop at these spheres with their cues.

The present-day sport has come down with slight innovations. Even now tuxedoed males still fight for the various pocket-billiard crowns.

With artistic talent and dilated pupil of the eye you can walk into any pool emporium of the nation and there watch the inheritors of this majestic game.

The lights hang low with their diffused rays piercing the smoke of these nicotiners as the shiny balls go caroming off the sides of the table and their resounding clicks echoing throughout the parlor,

Here at State there dwell several connesieurs of the art such as Hess, Kaufman, Sorensen and Lehman. No, you may not see them play in the knightly attire of yesteryear but they nevertheless take their game serious being true yogis.

MedTops State In Third Match

Bowling captured the MAA spot­light for the first post-vacation week. Last Saturday afternoon Al­bany Med opposed State in the third renewal of their series. Med, sparked by the brilliant bowling of Hank Wolfe, walked off with the match 2301 pins to 2210 for State. Wolfe was the big gun all the way for Med with a high single game of 198 and a three game total of 570.

States best effort came in the second game when George Hess cracked out the afternoon's high single game of 208. Following close behind was Bob Sorensen with 179. Sorensen's three game total was high for the State keglers.

League Under Way Tuesday night was the inaugural

for MAA's newly formed bowling league. Four out of the five teams saw action, Dave Lehman's gang the only one to be left-out. His team will do its work-out next week.

Bob Sorehsen's Flashes started strong, winning the first game of their set, but they faltered after that. Bruce Hansen's Whiz Kids came back strong to take the next two games, and total pins. Soren­sen battered out high scores for the Flashes with 178 and 490. Bob Horse­man was the big man for the Whiz Kids with 186 and 420.

In the evening's other match Har­ry Inglis' Strikers subdued Bob Sul­livan's All Americans three games to one. The Strikers had the high team game of the night with 795. Bill Baldwin of the Strikers had the only 200 game of the night, hitting it exactly on the nose. Farley has the best three game series for the Strikers with 463. Sullivan's 190 and Whytok's 450 were high for the All Americans.

Standings Won Lost Pet. 1. Whiz Kids 3 1 .750 2. Strikers 3 1 .750 3. Flashes 1 3 .250 4. All Americans 1 3 .250 5. Thunderbolts 0 0 .000

Art Kaufman, MAA director, has released the following schedule for the newly organized men's bowling league:

Jan. 15—Thunderbolts vs. Whiz-Kinds. Flashes vs. Ail-Americans.

Jan. 22—Strikers vs. Thunderbolts. Whiz-Kids vs. All Ameri­cans.

Jan. 29—Flashes vs. Thunderbolts. Strikers vs. Whiz-Kids.

Fencing classes are held every Saturday morning at 10 o'clock. All those girls who expect to obtain credit in the sport must attend to­morrow morning, Chuck Axelrod, Captain announces.

W A A Bowling Begins League

The WAA bowling league began this week. Captains are to report results of games to Judy Dube, head of the sport. Ten teams have signed up for the tournament and it is important that the teams fol­low the rules in order that the contest may be completed. Rules Announced

The following are the rules for bowling:

1. Five people on one team. 2. One person can not play on

Student Pianist To Make Debut A t Page Hall

Concert Wednesday To Feature Wolinsky

Mary D. Alden, '45, President of Music Council, has announced the appearance of Predrik Wolinsky, '47, talented young pianist of State Col­lege in his first solo concert, Page Hall, Wednesday evening, at 8:30 P.M.

Wolinsky has appeared several times before State College audiences and received great praise for his unique piano artistry. He began studying music with Edward Morris, famed director of the Morris-Hum­mel Conservatory. After five years of study under Morris, he studied under Edward French, co-director of Morris-Hummel, for seven years. Wolinsky, at eighteen, will make his professional debut after a total musical education of twelve years. Amateur Experience

His experience in the amateur field includes appearances over WR-GGB and WGPM, General Electric television stations. Last year he appeared with the State College or­chestra performing Mozart's Major Concerto. He won the District Con­test sponsored by the New York

Campus-ed Queen Crowned Behind Lavish Prison Walls

Ta-ta-ta the trumpet's blare, the torches gleam, old King Sayles Is ushered in. His mag­nanimous presence celebrated the crowning of the campus-ed queen. Which daintly night - gowned beauty would bear the title, Campus-ed queen of Sayles Hall? Everyone held her breath while King Sayles walked Myskania-like around the candidates. Fin­ally he paused and placed the trembling crown atop the golden-haired Virginia Day.

The story behind the news de­veloped when "Keeper of the Quiet" Elsie Whipple handed out engraved campuses to Betty Phil­lips, '46, Mary Carey, Virginia Day, Dorothea Silvernall, and Jenny Driphas, Sophs. Amid cursing and screams of rage O'Grady and MacCarthy incub­ated a 'hot idea.' They would sponsor a campus-ed queen con­test. Beauty and brains com­peted alike until the eventful night of January 30. Now in Sayles Hall over an imaginative fireplace this motto appears: "Silence may be golden; but hub­bub yields a crown."

Next Big Event To Be State Fair

All Campus Groups To Compete for Prizes

A new motion will be presented to the students in assembly this morning to replace the original motion concerning Student Union which was tabled at the last assem­bly. Since the original motion is on the table, new business can be pre­sented. The Student Union Investi­gating Committee with the ap­proval of the students who proposed amendments has added six new provisions to the original motion covering the suggested items. This is to save assembly time. Orginal Motion

The original motion presented to the students reads as follows: Whereas: Student Association ex­pressed the desire for a Student Union and passed a motion June 2, 1944 creating a Student Union Fund.

Whereas: The Investigating Com­mittee has presented a plan to fi­nance the building of a Student Union.

Be It Resolved: That a Student Union Board be established consist­ing of eight people (five students, two faculty and one alumnus). That the Fund be turned over to the New York State College for Teachers Benevolent Association, Inc. as a trust fund.

That the powers and duties of the Student Union Board be:

1. Set up the files and records for collection of the pledges to the fund.

2. Administer collection of the pledges and administer a campaign for the pledges.

3. To become a member of the Association of College Unions and be ever conscious of the affairs of other Student Unions.

4. To report to Student Associa­tion exact status of the fund each semester.

5. To come to an agreement with the Benevolent Association when to build and to see the prospective plans for approval and suggestions.
