Gamma Kap, BZ, Stokes, Dynamiters, Phi Delt Lead

Psi Gam and Chi Sig Gain First Victories

Ey Joan Hylind

We are chagrined. The defeat of Newman by BZ finds us stranded on a rather cold limb. The evil that has befallen our avowed favorite brings reminiscences of Kiley, Wurtz and Kiss of Death Inc. We might even be forced to give up predicting for the duration. The only consol­ation we have is that Maggio, one of Newman's star forwards, was not in the line-up that fateful day. The break-up of a powerful combination of forwards can undermine any team. This beautiful piece of ration­alization breaks down, however, when we discover that Blake and Bushnell were missing from the BZ team. Could be they're just good? Black vs. Yellow

There may be some discussion on the question of whether the Mys-kaia-Frosh game belongs on the sports page. But if TGIP can be represented—so can Myskania. Ser­iously, it was a game well worth watching. The black-robed ones made a better showing than anyone thought they would—including Mys­kania. Smith, Garfall, Now and Cooper, the "regulars" of the team, were right in there. Meyers, of the "conscripted" members was the sur­prise of the day. Her guarding and smooth interceptions helped save the venerable seniors from worse than a 53-21 defeat. In the freshman lineup all members distinguished themselves. By the way, does Tilden ever miss?

Myskania's provision of two stretcher-bearers turned out to be more grim than anyone intended. Kippy's broken finger and the diffi­culty connected with having it set go to illustrate once more the point made in an earlier column that State College students do not receive adequate medical protection. Winter Wonderland

For the last month or so we have been watching the little ones romp in the snow—skiis and sleds flying —no cares. Washington Park has become a miniature Sun Valley, of­fering all the winter sports. State students might be able to use the facilities if they can negotiate a non-aggression pact with the juve­niles who are now undisputed mas­ters of the scene.

Then there was the little boy who preferred to use the icy sidewalk for his sleigh-run. We stopped to give him a lecture on consideration of the rights of others — but we really didn't mind walking in the road. About Milne

Last week-end we saw our first Milne basketball game—but not the last. Those kids really put on a good show. One thing that im­pressed us about the game was the enthusiasm of the audience. They were never still. After grow­ing up on the utter passivity of State College spectators, it was quite a shock. There are only two or three times wu can remember when the Eagles received the vocal .support they deserved. Yea Lincoln!

One more item has been added to the long list of reasons why we honor Lincoln. His birthday en­abled Kiley to leave the thriving metropolis of Heuvelton to come to us. But times have changed. When asked to write a guest column, George Bertram replied, "I have nothing to say." What one year in Huevelton can do. Tout Note

Before Christmas vacation there was considerable furor raised con­cerning the policies of the Sports page. Ah that time we made a sug­gestion that representatives from the Athletic associations be ap­pointed to give news to the Sports page. The public may be interest­ed in knowing that so far this has not been done,

This past week the basketball league was brought to the fore once again after a brief respite due to the fuel shortage.

On Saturday afternoon the Dyna­miters went into action against the powerful Whiz Kids, defeating them by a score of 19-17. The contest was a close and steady one from the start but the Commuters, sparked by Herllhy's fourteen points, suc­ceeded in emerging victorious over the Whiz Kids. Tilden, the frosh

Sports Draft Makes fikld For Examination, Research

A good theme for a doctoral disertation, a term project—or what have you, would be, "Spur of the moment Athletes in State College History."

A few more subjects were added to the list in the Myskania-Frosh game—but there has been a long line of people who have been pressed into service to make a sixth in basketball or a ninth in baseball.

What could be included in a work of this kind is the psycho­logy of the phenomenon—the re­action on both spectators and the impressed one—results of such activity as compared with results obtained by regular ath­letes, lasting effects etc. The possibilities are endlses.

A spirited session between Phi Delt and Sayles resulted in a 30-22 win for the Phi Delts. Both teams put up a valiant struggle last year to remain on the list of those chosen for league championship.

line-up. One of their forewards is Tilden — her team-mates call her Dead-eye Dan. This means she has only one eye she can use when shooting baskets—what can you ex­pect there? Then there's Quinn who is—again according to Shapiro — their shifty forward." Here Sophs you'll naturally have to look out for "shifty playing," And then there's McGinnis—but those frosh are going to need a lot more than

spirit, to help them through this rivalry game.

As their guards, the frosh boast Diehl, Diffin, and Shapiro. Well any basketball team has to have guards —it says so in the rules, and if you're playing in a game it must be played according to the rules. Here then nothing much can be said, except that these three will probably try—in their own small frosh way—to keep the three Soph "super mainstays" from making too many baskets,

The final game proved to bo the most exciting. It got off to a poor start witli both teams failing to get settled. The Rares were leading by a narrow margin but in the last frame the Stokes squad gained mo­mentum and brought the game to an 11-11 deadlock. In the overtime match tin; squads went wild.

This move was made because of Inglis' completion of his graduate work and withdrawing from col­lege.

All four teams saw action In Monday night's session. Bruce Hansen's Whiz Kids took the alleys against Bob Sullivan's All Ameri­cans and took three out of four games. Both teams were bowling with blinds, but Hansen's boys were a little more consistent. Jim Cran-dell was the big gun for the Whiz Kids, wacking out a single of 181. His three game total of 467 was also high for his team. Jim Whytock gained top honors for the All-Americans with 163 and 421.

In the second match of the night the Flashes took it on the chin from Dave Lehman's renovated Thunderbolts. The Thunderbolts served notice on the rest of the league that they are out for blood by winning four games. The Flashes were handicapped by the absence of Cal Zippen, one of their top men. Even with Zippen the Flashes would have had a hard time overhauling the Thunderbolts because Lehman himself turned in the highest three game total of the year. His total was 521, and his 187 was the high single for his team. Hess' 164 and Barrington's 427 wore high for the Flashes.

Lack O f Smokes Scored By All

— By George Hess —

We decided to disgress from the field of sports this week and write on a matter of universal interest. We, like all other fiends, have been run ragged trying to find cigarettes. Time after time we have arrived too late. "Sorry, Mac. Just sold the last pack," has rung in our ears so often that we are growing just a bit tired of it.

Rumors, Facts In the back of our mind was

always a nagging little thought. We were always trying to figure just where all the cigarettes were dis­appearing to. There were lots of hints and rumors, but no definite information. Then Monday night we saw an item about a new cigar­ette that is to make its appearance soon. Quoted in the article, as an afterthought, were a couple of figures on current cigarette pro­duction.

Terrific Production We learned that Phillip Morris

produces no less than 33 billion cigarettes each year, and that Lig­gett & Meyers (Chesterfields) makes just twice that many. With these figures to work on we decided that R. J. Reynolds (Camels) whipped out 75 billion; American Tobacco Company (Lucky Strikes), 65 billion; and P. Lorillard Company (Old Gold), 22 billion. This makes a total of 261 billion popular brand cigar­ettes produced in this country in one year. Then we used 130 million population to determine the number consumed. If fifty percent of the people in this country, 65 million, were to smoke a pack a day for a year 23,725,000,000 packs would go up in smoke.

By dividing 261 billion by 20 we discovered that only 13,050,000,000 packs were produced. This leaves a deficit of 10,675,000,000 packs a year and, seemingly, a solution to the shortage. But, and here is the hitch, we haven't even tried to estimate the number of lesser known brands that are produced. There are so many small sellers on the market that they must make up the dis­crepancy between production and consumption of popular makes. And another factor is the figure we used for tire smoking public. There are many men who will never touch a fag, sticking faithfully to pipe or cigar.

Got A Butt, Pal? The foregoing still leaves us with

Hie perennial question: WHERE ARE ALL THE CIGARETTES?

McGrath To Propose Motion To Use Money For Student Union Fund

Three financial motions will be the order of the day in student assembly this morning. Several im­portant announcements will follow the voting and discussion.

The first motion concerns that presented by Leah Tischler, '45, in last week's assembly—Be it resolved that: "Ten dollars be taken from the Student Association Surplus Fund and be appropriated to Campus Commission for the purpose of ex­penses, such as to pay for keys for the strong box. the duplication of drawer keys for members of the Commission, cord for Moving Up Day, and any other expenses that might be incurred during this sem­ester." BiS Eight Motion

Betty J. McGrath, '46. chairman of the Big Eight Committee, will intro­duce a resolution to rescind the following motion passed by Student Association last March—"That upon maturity the 4'; interest on the $2500 bond purchased by the Big Ten proceeds be used to establish a scholarship fund for returning vet­erans or for their descendants." The Big Eight Committee feels that returning veterans arc already pro­vided for in the G.I. Bill of Rights. In addition the bond would give impetus to the Student Union Fund and more people would benefit if the maturity value of the $2500 were turned over in this manner. If the above motion is rescinded by the 2/3 vote necessary for this action, the new resolution will read: "The Big Eight Committee moves that upon maturity the $2500 bond pur­chased by the proceeds of last year's Big Ten programs be turned over to Student Union." Sullivan Proposes . , .

Robert Sullivan, '4G, Vice-Presi­dent of Student Association, will present the motion sponsored by Student Council stating: "I move that all bills of an amount under $20 be taken directly to the Board of Audit and Control." This would eliminate unimportant financial (Continued on page 3 column 5)

Students Attend

State Legislature At the New York State Assembly

open meeting held last Tuesday at 1 P.M., at the Capitol, Speaker of the House Ivs , in conjunction with Assemblyman Quinn, introduced an Anti-Discrimination bill. This bill would set up a five-man commis­sion to bar discrimination in em­ployment in the state by using per­suasions and penalties, to influence education and the spirit of brotherhood. It has as its objec­tive the concept of freedom from all racial and religious discrimina­tions.

Arguments against the Anti-Dis­crimination bill include that It would set up a Gestapo, would en­courage black-mail to employers by members of the racial groups discriminated against, and would drive business out of the state be­cause New York would be the only state where this bill would apply and business men would take their business elsewhere. Those who favor the proposed bill say that it would not in any way compel the employer to hire anyone he doesn't want but that it would prevent any discrimination in hir­ing because of race, creed or color.

Governor Dewey, Mayor La-Guardlo and Eric Johnson, presi­dent of the United States Chamber of Commerce, have all spoken in favor of tills bill. Dewey endorsed it saying, "that it will insure equal­ity of opportunity to all" and "will place our state in the forefront of the nation in the handling of this vital issue."

About twenty-five State students attended tire meeting.

The Weekly Bulletin—

An open letter to the Student Body

Last fall when t he class of '48 came to Sta te some of i ts members were amazed, and not a litt le dis­appointed, to discover t h a t S ta te h a d no band. A few of the group wanted to see our college with a large active band and so they did the best they could by forming such an organization from among those they knew, their fellow-classmates. After a long struggle, this group finally began rehearsing and play­ing, but this was not really wha t the '48 musicians wanted. Surely, they were in a band; yet, it wasn ' t a "S ta t e College" Band, and t h a t is wha t every member hoped to have.

The so-called "Frosh B a n d " is a successfully working organization, and its members feel t h a t it is t ime something was done about t h a t for the college. Therefore, we would like to invite all musicians from any class to join us in forming a "STATU COLLEGE" Band.

Some on, you '47'ers, '46'ers, and '45'ers who play ins t ruments , let's see S ta te with a band of its own. Drop a note in t he S tuden t Mail giving your name, ins t rument , and when and where we can contact you.

Hoping to hear from lots of you, Marie Agnew '48

Director, Frosh Band.

To t h e Editor: Do you have the correct time? We

at S ta te do not. Last year it was necessary to call to the at tent ion of the adminis t ra t ion the inaccuracy of the Page Hall clock; now our plea for correct timepieces includes all the clocks in every building.

After much ado about being late for classes, practice teachers a t ­tempting to be on time for Milne classes, or gett ing back late for their own, the cause has been dis­covered. For the benefit of those who believe what they see, don't. After a tabulat ion it was found tha t the library clock is three minutes slow, the P.O. clock is five minutes behind the times; all the rest are four minutes fast. These figures are based on a three days' comparison wiht radio time.

Let's s tar t all over and see if we can ' t do something to get our day on schedule again.

Tired of being late or early, Lois Holstein

Men who glared in civilized wra th a t each other all invoked demo­cracy to bolster the i r a rguments for or against the Ives-Quinn an t i ­discrimination bill, at Tuesday's public hear ing in t he Sta te Assembly chamber .

More than 200 representat ives of Chambers of Commerce, the Rai l ­road Brotherhoods, real estate asso­ciations (opposed); labor unions, Jewish, Negro, Catholic and educa­tional groups (favoring) spoke before the Ives commission and a packed Assembly. Since November open hear ings have been conducted on the measure, and public opinion th rough­out the state has been roused to a high pitch. Before examining the backstage political scene, a brief summary of the bill is in order.

A commission appointed by the governor, with the advice a n d con­sent of the Senate, is proposed. I ts powers and duties will be to estab­lish local and regional offices to in­vestigate complaints t ha t discrimin­ation because of race, creed, color or nationali ty prevented a person from obtaining or keeping a job. Labor unions (notably the Railroad Brotherhood, with iron-clad restr ic­tions against Negroesi are equally culpable with employers. The com­mission will have power to penalize defendants convicted of r iscrimln-atory practices after a full hear ing. Those protesting a decision have the right of appeal to the Supreme Court. Penalties are imprisonment up to one year, a fine of not more than $500, or both.

As Assemblyman William Andrews pointed out in his talk a t the col­lege Wednesday, this is the latest and best constructed of several a t ­tempts ot el iminate discrimination in employment. T h e bill has teeth; it is irrefutably democratic in its concept; and lt establishes in law a new American t radi t ion; oppor­tunity for employment without dis­crimination shall be a civil r ight .

Nevertheless, there are valid ob­jections—loopholes which time and experience alone have corrected on other social degislation. T h e m a c h ­inery of the commission is clumsy. Legislation alone will not ex termin­ate Inbred, personal prejudice. Op­ponents stress as their chief a rgu­ment tha t business will suffer through passage of the law. Job hunters from all over the country will Hock to New York. S imul tan­eously, employees will quit their jobs, ra ther than work with a Jew or a Negro. And furthermore, business­men will pack up a n d move to states where such discrimination (as they desire, presumably) will remain legal. Most opponents Tuesday pre­faced these contradictory charges with the insistence, " the social ob­jectives of this bill meet with our

full approval. Of course, our organ­ization opposes all discrimination, but—"

One serious bottle-neck, some say, will be the difficulty of proving dis­crimination. But this is not the am­biguity, unfortunately, t ha t a s trang­er might think. Discrimination is the personnal manage 's "No help wanted, thanks ," to the Negro phar ­macist who applies for a war plant job. Discrimination sets the level of advancement far down the scale for Jews, Negroes, Catholics and Orientals, depending on the com­pany or par t of the country con­cerned. Discrimination barred many from some labor unions, forcing would-be unionists to become strike­breakers, in pre-Pear l Harbor days, or keeping them out of work In a closed shop.

In time of economic sterility, with jobs few and men hungry, discrimin­ation sets "white Pro tes tan t" Amer­icans against Catholics, Negro and Jewish Americans. Democracy, as the at t ract ive Air Corps l ieutenant told me a t Tuesday's hearings, be­comes "an over-rated exaggeration." Prejudice is fanned to hatred, and the ersatz, deadly catalyst of dis­crimination causes race riots, bread lines—but no cure for the job short­age. This never cures a depression, but it does give the unemployed other things to think about than the real resaons why there are not enough jobs for everybody who wants to work. We refer you to Nazi Germany, where the scape-goat technique was perfected to the point of total war.

The bill does not seek to "legislate discrimination out of the hearts of men." I t does purport to guarantee every citizen the right to work. As such it will implement the Presi­dent 's wart ime Fair Employment Practices Commission, which has the same end but less force. Lack Of prosecution power has balked the EEPC's efforts most of the time, it was admit ted here this week.

Opposition to the Ives bll found voice in the representatives of up­state New York farming districts and districts where the Railroad Brotherhood is strong (such as Mid-dlelown, whose Assemblyman Van Duser was frank in condemning the measure i. It also was supported by anti-Dewey Republicans, a condition which makes for a peculiar atmos­phere at the Capl 'ol these days. Dewey has been steadily antagoniz­ing u growing number of Republi­cans, by supporting legislation they sought to kill, by a disregard for personal sensibilities and by injudi­cious distribution of patronage. These will all be factors when the vote on the anti-discrimination bill is called onday. At preesnt indica­tions, passage will bo by an over­whelming majority,

In t he F e b r u a r y 9 issue of t he S T A T E C O L L E G E

N E W S , there appea red a le t te r to the E d i t o r , s igned by "consc ien t ious ob j ec to r s , " concern ing t he p a y ­men t of the $20 S t u d e n t T a x . In th i s le t te r , the "consc ien t ious ob j ec to r s " s t a t ed t h a t t he " c h a r g e s leveled agains t t hem were manifold a n d g r a v e . " T h e y implied tha t the ac t ion t aken aga ins t t hem by reading their n a m e s in assembly was flimsy, general and unfair . T h e y fur ther s t a t ed t h a t t hey did no t in tend to p a y the S t u d e n t T a x fee because it is " a n omnibus tax, inc luding not only fees for services which he migh t receive, bu t also a con t r i ­but ion to the S tuden t U n i o n , a ph i l an th rop ic cause for which he might , or might no t want to g ive . "

Our "conscient ious ob j ec to r s " asked if the N E W S would g ran t them space to defend themselves since they were not allowed to speak in assembly . He-cause of the n a t u r e of the le t ter , they were g ran ted the space, even though it carr ied no s igna tu re , which in itself might have disqual if ied the le t ter since one of the policies of the N E W S is tha t all communica t ions must be signed, with s igna tures wi thheld upon request . (See bo t tom of the p a g e ) .

Con t r a ry to the impl ica t ions of the let ter , the charges against the negl igents were not flimsy, general and unfair . T h e defenses they p resen ted , however , were flimsy, general and inaccura te . On page IS of the F re shman H a n d b o o k , there is a clause which reads : "A tax of $20 is assessed and collected by the s tuden t body at the t ime (if regis t ra t ion. Paymen t of this tax is m a n d a t o r y be­fore the s tuden t will be a d m i t t e d to a n y classes in the college." In other words , our " juven i l e delin­q u e n t s , " as they deign to label themselves , are g ran ted a privilege for which the rest of us p a y $20 .

T h e first item of defense is ent i re ly u n d e r s t a n d ­able . It is t rue tha t some of us have to work our way th rough college a n d can nei ther afford the money nor the t ime ex t ra -cur r i cu la r ac t iv i t ies would require . However , by s imply t a lk ing to Dr. Sayles or Dean Nelson and expla in ing the s i tua t ion , the s tuden t involved could be excused from pay ing the fee for financial reasons . T h e second item is weak. T h e y complain tha t some of them received bu t one notice. J u s t one c o m m e n t on tha t point exact ly how many notices does one requi re before he ca tches on?

And the third i tem . . . " W h a t e v e r the Spokes­man of S tudent Union m a y believe, wha teve r im­pression he may have given, the S tuden t T a x is not a legal obligation upon S ta te S t u d e n t s .

As for the ph i l an th rop ic known as the S tuden t Union , we had our choice last M a y of $6 or an inves tment in t he first g rea t s tudent -sponsored u n d e r t a k i n g tha t has hit S ta te College in many yea r s . Did all of our de l inquen t s vote agains t it? W e are inclined to believe tha t they agains t it? We are inclined to believe t h a t they d idn ' t for even some of them harbored great hopes for a Student Union. But if they did all vote agains t it last .May, we would like to point out thai by passing the motion by such a major i ty , we are favoring the major i ty of the s t u d e n t s which is one of the foremost pr inciples of the " d e m o c r a c y upon which we pr ide ourse lves , " ment ioned in the let ter .

Wolf In Racoon's Clothing Will Wear Sealskin Hat

"But a wolf In racoon's c loth­ing!"

"Why not? The sealskin h a t will neutralize the effect. . ."

And so it was argued as the Soph banquet crept closer a n d closer. The day finally arrived when the four T G I F skit writers came to an agreement. Red Rid­ing Hood's wolf would be a t ­tired in racoon and sealskin. But from whence would these semi-precious props come?

Accusing eyes maliciously lit on one who prefers to remain anonymous. "See Dr. Jones a n d Dean Nelson tomorrow," came the order. Hat in hand, the lowly one went home to n ightmare .

The day dawned damp a n d gloomy. Visions of expulsion a n d disgrace beset the unfor tunate one. Jones was a pushover. One racoon gained.

"Good morning, Dean Nelson." The story has a happy ending. F r a n k Woodworth, alias the wolf, will be clad tonight.

Will lams w ins Freshman Election

Alice Williams is the new vice-president of the freshman class as a result of the election held in As­sembly last Friday. The election was necessitated by the withdrawal from College of Bob Sorenson, who was elected last Fall. Sorenson is now in the Navy.

Frosh, Sophs To War Again; Debate To Decide Daffy s Duties

Newman To Hold Irish Celebration

St. Patrick's Day will be ushered in on the eve of March 1 with the tradit ional Harp 's Riot, sponsored by Newman Club. This annua l affair, which has become Newman Club's major contribution to the socail calendar each year, is under the general chai rmanship of Marie De Chene, '45.

The informal dance will be held in the Commons from 8 to 12 P.M. and schedules enter ta inment , in­cluding a variety of Irish songs and novelty numbers in keeping with the "Wearin ' of the Green" theme. Round and square dancing will be in the program and refresh­ments will be served.

Tickets for the dance will be 35 cents and will go on sale in the lower hall of Draper. "S tags" as well as couples will be admit ted to "Little Eire."

According to Miss DeChene, " the Harps promise you a good time— you can' t lose!"

State Aid, Teacher s Salary, Highlights of Legislative Program The American people have always

considered education an impor tan t part of the growth of the good citi-zen, and New York State is one of the leaders in this Held. In keep-lug with this progressive policy, the State Legislature i.s now considering proposals which would considerably modernize and enlarge the S ta te Aid method of equalizing education.

The answer to this brain- twister is Stale Aid—a term which is fam­iliar to rural pupils and almost u n ­known to residents of large cities. In simple terms, State Aid Is a plan Which enables the Sta te to collect money throng)) indirect taxes and return it to communities on the biisis of their needs. This p lan shifts the tax burden to those who can afford to carry it, for the in­direct levies are on luxury items, automobiles, beverages and the like, and not on property.

Each county collects these taxes and turns them over to the S t a t e for redistribution. A few of the larger counties pay out more t h a n they receive, and the rest get more buck in Sta te Aid than they con­tribute in taxes. The money Is a p ­

portioned according to the Fr iedsam Formula , whereby the amoun t of S ta l e Aid is based on the number of pupils in actual a t tendance at school each day. An "elementary teacher unit" ol 27 pupils In grade school will receive $1,500 a year for educational uses. In high school lhe uni t is 22 pupils and the Sta te Aid for each such unit is $1,900. This is not, however, the final amount the county will receive. The number of units, multiplied by the grunt, per unit, is applied to a formula involving the valuation of the county; thus the poorer a dis­trict the more Sta le Aid lt receives.

Education is not static, and ne i th­er are the processes which cause lt to function. At the present time tlie Legislature here In Albany is considering several measures de­signed to take the "kinks" out of S ta te Aid and equalize education to an even greater degree.

The most Important measure Is the Milmoe-Young s ta te aid bill, which is tlie Educational Conference Board proposal for the revision of tho s ta te aid formula based on the a t t endance of pupils and the cost

of t ransporta t ion. The bill further s tates tha t any district ma in ta in ­ing adult classes, night school and other pa r t - t ime classes will receive the same amount of aid as lt would for regular classes in high school. One very Important point is tha t in the future the basis for aid shall be the average of the average dally a t tendance for the three years im­mediately preceding,

Tlie Milmoe-Young salary bill in­creases the annual minimum of teachers in union free school dis­tricts and fixes the minimum for teachers in common school districts a t $1,500, A second Milmoe-Young bill increases the salaries of teach­ers in cltities of at least 50,000 and not more t h a n 150,000 to a mini­mum of $1,600 in secondary schools.

A third important par t of the leg­islative program is the extension of tenure to non- tenure areas. I t Is expected tha t these bills will be acted on late this month, and should be of interest to all s tudents here a t S ta te . These measures, If passed, will do much to equalize and improve education In the ent i re s ta te .

With the melting of ice, bright sunshine and the coming of Spring, a young man 's (or to be contem­porary, a young woman's) fancy turns to Spring cleaning of school property, just helping Campus Com­mission, wide open spaces and, of course, Love. At this time, however, a t S ta te there is no love lost be­tween the Soph and frosh classes, they are running neck in neck, (not necking) competing for the remain-1:45 rivalry points,

At present, the Sophomore class is officially ahead with a score of 11 to i',i points. Since nei ther class has yet been successful in seizing the rival class' banner, five points for this contest is still pending u n ­til Moving-up Day when the victor will be announced.

The Sophs won 4V& points on Campus Day, 3'a for the games and 1 for the skit; 2\« for the sing; and 2 for hockey, 1 for archery, and 1 lor football. The frosh gained 1 for ping-pong and 3'L- for Campus Day.

The next event in rivalry which will be next Friday in Assembly is the hur t le of words between the rival classes on the poignant reso­lution: "The freshmen should be free from homework." True to the spirit of the green, the Soph squad has taken the negative and will try to prove without doubt to the daf­fodils " tha t you come to college to gain knowledge—by doing home­work."

Perhaps the daffies aren ' t so daf­fy, because they have under taken to convince everyone tha t frosh do not need homework—lucky people! Sad for the classes who have gone be­fore and worked, if '48 should suc­ceed in their endeavor.

For this batt le of words, the vic­tor class will receive 21 L- precious rivalry points. Quoting a little gremlin, "We expect to chuckle up our sleeve as grim frosh struggle vainly to prove why they, as priv­ileged characters , should not have homework in an insti tution like State ." Dr. Louis C. Jones, Assistant

Sorority Initiations (Continued from page 1, column 3) Gicnvinone, Gloria Gilbert, Mar-jorie Houghton, Dorothy Keavney, J a n e McCormick, Barbara Otto, Florence Wojtal, and Eloise Worth, class of '48, and Marjox-le Healey, '48.

Aides To Report To PTEB

Annette Malseed, head of the Par t - t ime Employment Bureau, re­quests tha t all S ta te women who have taken nurses ' aide positions in tlie hospital report to her. This information is to keep the records in order and to save the inconveni­ence to the students of being offer­ed positions if they are already employed.

Professor of English, Dr. J . Allan Hicks, Professor of Guidance, a n d M a r t h a Egelston, Ins t ructor in His ­tory, judges, will decide the win­ning class squad.

The rivalry program for the sec­ond semester has been set up. For two out of three basketball games, 3 points will be given; for two out of three games by the men's and women's bowling teams, 3 points; 2 points for the swimming meet, and 3 for the baseball game.

Announcement of the winner of rivalry will follow the Sing on Mov­ing-up Day evening.

Sophs Win First Bowling Rivalry Game By 25-23 Will Begin Soon

Ey Joan Hyllnd

We'd like to clear up any mis­understanding there may have been about a statement made in last week's column. Our criticism of State's medical protection was not directed at Dr. Green. All State College students realize how hard she works and the untiring interest she has in their welfare and activities. They marvel at the tremendous amount of work she is able to accomplish. Our ob­jection is not against the quality but the quantity of the medical staff. T h e care of over a thousand college a n d more t h a n four h u n ­dred Milne students , plus rout ine yearly examinat ions and the end­less secretarial work connected with keeping files, a r rang ing appoint ­ments , etc., makes the job almost a physical impossibility for the medical staff as it exists now. Here We Go Again

For the last week we have been conducting a "poll." The topic was, "are you satisfied with the m a n ­agemen t of WAA?" And surpris ing­ly enough ten per cent of those asked were.

Before we begin, we'd like it unders tood t h a t t h e opinions here are not only ours. They have been expressed in the last m o n t h or so by active members of WAA.

1. Basketball—Run very smooth­ly and efficiently. The one objec­tion being that , if there is a rule aga ins t girls from one team substi­tu t ing on another, it should be a p ­plied in all cases,

2. Bowling—It is practically im­possible for the schedule as it exists now to be completed. Each ma tch consists of three games. With the limited amount of time girls have and the heavy schedule they have to contend with, team members find all their spare time taken up bowl­ing.

Matches are sometimes schedul-el a t the same hour as the group house h a s a basketball game. In most cases the same girls are on both teams and disaster to one cause is inevitable.

F rom the general dissatisfaction with WAA politics it would seem t h a t a spring house cleaning is in order. An organization tha t spends yearly over one thousand dollars of the student 's money should have something more to show for it.

Before we are snowed under by a s torm of letters to the editor, let us has ten to say tha t we think the si tuat ion is far from hopeless. We realize how busy everyone is, Bu t we believe tha t a little coordination within WAA would do much to help the situation. Here are a few suggestions:

1. Have more council meetings. Wi thout frequent get- togethers to talk over new ideas and discuss problems, it is difficult to keep tabs on an organization with as many branches and interests as WAA.

2. Make the system of keeping records more uniform. At tendance should be kept on s tandard sheets of paper — not on any scrap of paper happening to be around. Scores of ping pong, tennis matches, etc., should be handed in immedi­ately to the captain of the sport and then kept in an orderly fashion.

3. More publicity is needed on all WAA activities. Times of games should be posted prominently. Capta ins of sports—or a special representative—should be respons­ible for seeing tha t the NEWS is informed of any and all activities of the organization.

Phi Delta Loses, 25-14

InTilt Wi th Gamma Kap Last week's schedule of league

games was completed on Fr iday and Sa tu rday with victories for t he Chi Sigs, Dynamiters , BZ, G a m m a Kap, Moreland and Newman Hall . The Chi Sigs came out on top of a h a rd working Sayles Hall squad by a score of 22-18, while the More-land Hall lassies fell before t he Dynamiters to the tune of 18-10. G a m m a K a p won over a strong Ph i Delt team 25-14 and Newman Hall came near to shut t ing out the AEPhi squad in a 21-3 victory. Moreland Hall r e tu rned to t he court in a successful tilt with Wren Hall which ended in an 18-9 score. In the final contest of the week BZ took a 12-5 lead over the Rares .

BZ continued to stay on t he list of undefeatel squads by conquer­ing Psi Gam by a score of 12-4. The contest was a fast one but neither team succeeded in gaining much of a score. The defense for both teams was evenly matched.

Diehl's steady effort for the Psi Gams held Baker 's usual high score to six tallies while Sweeney's close guarding aided in checking the r e ­mainder of the powerful BZ offense. Bushnell, Diffon and Dunn dis­played an equal amoun t of fight in blocking the a t t empts of the Psi Gam offense. O'Neil spark-plugged the Psi Gams and tossed up the four points for their final score.

The Gamma Kaps, who have been successfully holding their place in the league limelight, broke all p re ­vious records by forcing the Sayles Hall girls to a shut -ou t game. T h e final score was 11-0 .Despite the one-sided score, G a m m a K a p was up against some pretty stiff fighting on the par t of the Sayles squad. Koehn, Margot and Meeker proved to be a strong block agains t the invincible Pedisich - Quinn -Young combination.

The Dynamiters, another team which ranks among the "Big Four." piled up an overwhelming score of 24-9 over the Wren Hall squad. The Commuters held a wide lead throughout the game. Michael spark-plugged the Wren offense With 7 points while Slack's 22 ta l ­lies took the game for the Dyna­miters.

The closest game of the week took place between Phi Delt and K-D. At the end of the first half Phi Delt had a one point margin over the K-D's and the final whistle found the Phi Delt 's skim­ming through by a 10-8 lead. Campbell, Day, and Shoup on K-D's offense held the strong Phi Delt forwards to a unusually low score. O'Grady tossed 6 of K-D's 8 points while Phi Delt's Seymour won scor­ing honors with 8 tallies.

On Wednesday night a hard fighting Newman Hall squad took their second decided victory of the week, defeating Chi Sig by a score of 33-16. Newman displayed a well coordinated outfit whose prowess remained undaunted by any a t ­tempt made by the Chi Sigs. The game was a fast one and the well organized passes worked out by the Newmanites kept the ball mov­ing. Maggie- and Russo shared scoring honors for Newman with 14 and 15 points respectively.

Another one-sided contest took place with BZ taking a 22-3 lead over AEPhi.

Stokes Hall held its place on the top of the list in a victorious tilt with the Psi Gams. The final score was 16-11. Boynton continues to be the spearhead on the Stokes defense copping 14 points to bring her team to victory.

Brooklyn and she has six brothers. What more could one ask for?

Edna Sweeney '47 zoomed through High School athlet ics nourished by a secret weapon. She finally ad­mitted, with only a little persuasion, tha t it was good old "Irish Stew" tha t provided the spark. Softball and basketball were her favorites and she became well-known for her prowess in i n t r a -mura l tilts. State 's Gain

Then she came to S ta te and turned out to be one of the best guards around these pa r t s in years. Her smooth, effective guarding is out­standing. Dribblers beware when Sweeney's around. The rivalry games have exhibited time after time, her spirit and finesse. Al­though basketball is her forte, other sports have claimed her talents too.

Our girl-of-the-week is one of the Psi G a m m a team's mainstays. Between dashing from Soph rivalry games to Psi Gam to refereeing, she's kept pret ty busy on the court.

As a tr ibute to her excellent sportsmanship and unusual ability, she was voted most valuable player of the year by WAA. Uem Bums Again

Among her "too numerous to mention" enthus iasms is her staunch support of the Brooklyn Dodgers even throughout the storms and abuse of last year.

Here is a girl with high aims and noble visions, you're probably thinking. Her ambit ion in life: to raise her own basketball team.

The freshmen a re going to get another chance Monday afternoon. They will tackle t he Sophomores in the second of the rivalry basketball series. The round-robin is sched­uled for two out of three, T h e Sophs have a one game edge in the shor t series. The second game will be played Monday afternoon a t 4:30, and the third game, if necessary, will be played off Wednesday.

The first game t h a t was played a week ago today ended in a close victory for the Sophs. Both teams were somewhat handicapped be­cause it was the first game t h a t they h a d played as a uni t this year. Sophs Are Good

The game was fast and rough, but quite clean for a game where feeling was running so high. The game was marred by very few fouls. The frosh looked very good at times, even spectacular, but the speed and drive of the Sophs proved too much for their guards. Several times the frosh had chances to hold the Sophs down, but the Sophs went on to score.

The game itself was close th rough­out, with the lead changing hands several times. The frosh h a d the better of the going in the first quar­ter, leading a t the whistle 5-4. During the second s tanza Gloria Russo got hot for the Sophs and the score at half t ime was 16-12 in favor of '47.

The third quar ter was mostly '48's and they caught up 19-19. Tilden tossed in three field goals to tally six of the points herself.

Sophs Take Lead In the last quar ter the Sophs

grabbed the lead which they never lost. The game ended with the Sophs in possession of the game and threatening to score again.

The contest is scheduled for the 16th of this m o n t h but if the teams split in the games, it will be necessary to play the deciding ma tch a t a future da te .

The freshmen are a t a definite disadvantage due to the loss of three of their top men to the Navy —Bob Horsman, Cliff Thorne , and Bob Sorenson. T h e lat ter led t he league in average, and all three will be greatly missed. Probable Teams

Unless there is a n unknown bowler who will be discovered in the tryouts of competing classes, relying on the M.A.A. t ou rnanmen t scores the probable line ups will be :

Sophomores: 1. J im Whytock 2. Cal Zippen 3. George Hess 4. Hal Weber 5. Al Balk

F reshmen : 1. Bruce Hansen 2. Harold Vaughn 3. Jake Farley 4. Bill Baldwin 5. Bill Barr ington.

Something New Has Been Added This is the first time tha t bowl­

ing has ever been a par t of the competition for Rivalry points. With the interest shown in the sport this year it was decided to add it to the list of Rivalry events. A further incentive for the move was filling in the place of pushball in the competition.

When Assembly opens, Myskania will announce the n a m e of the new member of the Board of Audit and Control. Members of Student. Asso­ciation voted on candidates for the position last week.

The motion introduced last week by Robert Sullivan, '46, which s t a t ­ed : "I move t h a t all bills of an amount under $20 be taken directly to the Board of Audit and Control," will not be discussed. I t was tabled a t the end of last Fr iday 's assem­bly and will be discussed as soon as possible. In the meant ime, the resolution is under investigation, and will be defended by Mr. Sulli­van when it is brought before the S tuden t Association.

Joan Smith, '45. will introduce a motion to send four representat ives of Student Association to the Am­erican Arbitrat ion Association Con­ference, and voting will follow.

Following this item of business, Cecile Goldberger, '45, will propose tha t S tudent Association approve of a commit tee for the revision of the Student Association consti tution. Suggested members of the commit­tee are Robert Sull ivan and Lynn Wolff. Juniors , and Ger t rude Smith, '47.

The commit tee will not. go into effect until next fall, but they can begin now to organize the work. The need lor such action has been fell I'll1 some lime, for there are inconsistencies and confusing points in i he consti tution which may h a m ­per the functioning oi efficient stu­dent government.

contribution to the Big 8 series, Sta te will witness some of the hidden ta lent of the class of '48 unveiled in the first large-scale frosh production. Four little daffo­dils, in character roles, will t ry to sprout wings and develop a halo, in short, be angelic—striving to gain entrance through the Gates of Heaven. But, if they can ' t do it the right way, there is no th ing really wrong about a bribe to St. Peter .

This must be mean t only for St. Peter. Playing an original composition, an avid performer for the sake of a soul, will trill the piano keyboard.

A rug-cutt ing exhibition by a couple of hep colleagues and a twentieth century version of "Boy Crazy" are the answer to the bobby-socks girl's distressing call. True to tilt spirit of the bobby-sacks fad, and pel haps explaining her diffi­culties, a friend sings, "I 'm Jus t a Girl Who Can' t Say No." The un­fortunate dead-end kid appeals with the song, "I Come From Down by the Gashotise."

Students Spoil Hick's Plan; Fail To Carry Out Point

Dale Carnegie may have hi t upon a good thing, but he can' t sip the Five Poin t Program for influencing m a r k s introduced by Dr. Hicks at the Soph Banquet. It might be well to explain tha t high on his list was this gem:

"Always come to class late, slam the door, say 'Good Morn­ing' to the teacher, have an idiotic excuse ready, and be sure to drop your books. This helps the teacher to learn your name."

It wasn' t a complete shock, therefore, when two "innocents" waltzed into Dr. Hicks' 10:10 class Tuesday at 10:11 ' i and very casually slammed the door. "Good morning, Dr. Hicks," they purred in unison, as they banged their way to their seats.

Their excuse was suggestive of the very one offered a t the ban­quet and there was just a h in t of a self-satisfied smile as the two settled back in the i r seats.

They were a trifle chargrilled, however, when Dr. Hicks r e ­minded them, "You forgot to drop your books!"
