The main objectives of the or­ganization, embodied in the pre­amble of Its constitution, are to pro­vide a medium for the discussion of problems and interests, and es­tablish a means of working togeth­er to help solve these problems. The enrollment Indicates that a major­ity of the veterans are hiterested In uniting for these purposes. It has also evidenced that veterans have a strong desire to work more close­ly with the student body.

The following officers were elect­ed to serve temporarily: executive chairman, Marvin Sultan,'47; execu­tive secretary, Floyd Decatur, '49; chairman of publicity, Gifford Win-gate, '49; chairman of entertain­ment, Frederic Baron, '49; chair­man of program, Charles Trim, '48; chairman of membership, Frederick Jacobs, '48; chairman of contacts, Michael Portanova, '49; chairman of legislation, James Taylor, '48; chair­man of finance, John Pay, '49.

Silvercruys To Model Subject From Audience Wednesday In Page

Susanne Silvercruys, world-fam­ous Belgian sculptress and lecturer, .wll] appear November 13 at 8:30 P. M. In Page Hall under the auspices of the Dramatics and Arts Associa­tion. To Model Subject from Audience '

She will Illustrate her lecture by a demonstration of her skill. Work­ing upon a wire armature and with moist plasticene, she will model the features of a subject chosen from th audience. Recently, she complet­ed the busts of the Dlonne Quin­tuplets and the late Dr. Allen Ray Dafoe. Mme. Silvercruys is the first and only sculptress to have the Quints as models. Also she has done a series of sculptured portraits of American generals.

Other personalities who have been modelled by Mme. Silvercruys In­clude Katherlne Hepburn, Jack Dempsey, Louis Sobol, Philip Mere-vole, James Truslow Adams, Sam Harris, and Prime Ministers Henri Jasper, and Paul van Zeeland of Belgium.

Escapes First World War Born into the Begian nobility, her

father was once president of the Bel­gian Supreme Court. Mme. Silver­cruys came to this country during World War I to escape the dangers of war-torn Belgium.

Quite by accident she made her debut as a speaker while still a stu­dent. At the annual United States Press Banquet, being sponsored by Poor Richard's Club In Philadelphia, the scheduled speaker, Secretary of War Newton E. Baker, failed to ap­pear and young Suzanne, who was in the visitor's gallery wearing a Bel­gium costume, was asked to tell of her country's plight. Her appeal was such that the Belgian embassy sent her on a speaking tour. During the two years she traveled throughout the United States and Canada, aha raised a million dollars for her na­tive land.

Takes Up Sculpture Her career as a sculptress was un­

dertaken when she came to make her home In this country. She stud­ied sculpture at the Yale School of Fine Arts and completed the con­ventional five-year course In three years,

King Albert made her a Knight of the Order of Leopold at the age of 20—a decoration very seldom giv­en to women and never before to one so young. France has bestowed upon her the order of Offlcler d'Academie and the British govern­ment has given her its Coronation Mcdnl.

/ /

An Informal atmosphere of Joans, shirts, and socks, (no shoes I) will prevail on Saturday night, Novem­ber 10, in Pago Hall Gym when Commuter's Club presents a "Sock-Hop" as Us first Blg-8 program. Tho feature attraction of tho eve­ning will be a series of variety acts during orchestra Intermission.

The "old barn" decorations will furnish the ideal background for round and square dancing to the music of RUSK Matthews and his orchestra. Tho square-dance fans will have a chance to have their Shoeless feet stepped on while they dance to tho calling of Gordon ("Timber") Woodcock from Union College

After everyone's toes have been crushed beyond all possible repair, a chance will be furnished to rest

weary bones during Intermission, Pains will bo forgotten while tho club makes use of its various sources of talent to amuse and entertain those present. Master of ceremonies, Austin Monroe, '49, will preside over several variety acts, ranging from a magician's performance to—woll come and see for yoursolf I Tho oth­er acts are a total surprise and promises are that they are truly original.

Oh yes, there will bo elder, dough­nuts and cookies with which all can rekindle their ambition for dancing until midnight; that Is, if anyone has any feet left to dance on. This Is tho first dance of this kind to be put on at State College and is also the first Blg-8 performance for Commuter's Olub. The cast has been rehearsing for several weeks to make sure the entertainment Is tops.

Three Warninss Necessary To Disqualify Vets In Rivalry

Myskania has announced that all GI students in the freshman class must be reported to Myskania three times as falling to wear a ribbon of the class color before being dis­qualified from further participation In rivalry events.

There are no exceptions to the tradition of the use of the front doors of Draper and Page by the freshmen, and unless Myskania should announce such an exception tho freshmen cannot use these doors at any time,

The Major-Minor Office plan Is now being revised. Any organization which wishes to submit any of Its offices for consideration either for change from one to another classi­fication or for addition or removal from either Is asked to notify Mys­kania immediately.

Backstage Bouquet. . . We like to mix a few bouquets with our bricks oc­

casionally, and this week we're throwing one in the direction of AD and those associated with the or­ganization.

This is not an attempt to pass judgment on the dramatic worth of final productions seen in Page 'on Tuesday nights. That is left to our critic.

We do feel, however, that a great deal of credit should go to those who have devoted more time than they can really spare to the countless jobs necessary for every play. The excellent set in this week's pro­duction, for example, was the result of long hours of after-school work in the cramped annex facili­ties.

There seems to be no limit to the time spent in rehearsals at every hour of the day and night in a sincere effort to furnish a worthwhile product for State College consumption. Add to this list the work of costumes, properties, make-up, research, '*)tc. and you have some idea of the magnitude of the job.

Although AD plays do not have the polish of a Broadway production, they are the result of as tnuch effort as any professional cast ever put into a drama. Don't forget this next time you're in Page.

Comment on Misconduct . . We'd like to make a short and not very sweet

comment on the fracas in last Friday's assembly. The conduct of the freshman and Sophomore classes —or the misconduct—was a far cry from the currently theoretical spirit of fair play and com­mon decency that forms the basis of rivalry.

For your information, Sophomores, the expres­sion "making the freshman crawl" was never in­tended to be interpreted literally. The condition of the frosh when they finally emerged from the double line of "gay young Sophomores" was a damaging testimony to the un-sportsmanlike atti­tude of their rival .class. Broken glasses, damaged clothing, lost beanies and the like were entirely un­necessary. Nor were the freshmen blameless. Sharp elbow punches below the belt, and hard cracks to the shins went far beyond the bounds of the ex­pected give and take between the classes.

If rivalry cannot be won by fair means, we sug­gest both closses give up now, before someone gets hurt.

Eulogy, kudos, laurels, superla­tives, and applause have been as absent from this column as comeli­ness from the monstrous features of Lena tine Hyena, who Is the mod­ern comic counterpart of the clas­tic Medusa—whleh Is quite a hefty circumlocution for asytog t "pan" people. But to prove that this ugli­ness Is only skin-deep, is only the mask and make-up of the critic, we shall take the "pan" and put it in panegyrize and see how it "pans" out.

To Arthur Soderllnd a coronet of acclaim for the best production this year. Me was courageous not only in presenting one act from a three aet play, but also in assault­ing the virginal naivete and quasi' Victorian attitudes shown by many of us in our kittenish reaction to sex on the stage with the Impact of mature, adult ideas. Furthermore, he gave a finality to that one act that was almost satisfactory to those of us Who are acquainted with the entire play. A big horseshoe wreath for a superior set; Verbal orchids to the Misses Lois Fillman and Mary Standing; the adjective "good" as boutonnieres for Everson Kinn and

Arthur Collins; one sprig of en­couragement to Charles Chase, who has improved but needs to develop stage presence and.memory. And now, let us sweep all this flowery litter and etxravagant rubbish off the stage and turn to a farce by Gloria Jaffer.

A bouquet of vegetables to Miss Jaffer. After seeing what A.D. can do with a farce, I wonder what it would do to "burllcue." It would probably present a long procession of tired bodies strip-teasing per­functorily whose sense of the risque would be as bald as their unattlre. A.D. does not have the Intuition nec­essary for good comedy, the flair for the ludicrous, the talent for tra­vesty, the gusto to capitalize fully on the possibilities of a farce. It does not take much to amuse a State College audience; Jailer's produc­tion was that "not much." The in­herent humor of the play, the gam-bollngs of Paul BarseloU, the final tableau helped; but otherwise, the flirtation scene was slow; lines were muffed and mutilated; and the di­alogue hobbled when it should have tun.

0OUR8B NO. VII—A DASH OF PTOMAINE Have you ever experienced the sensation that comes

from turning over a rock and finding slippery worms underneath? The dismissal of O. John Rogge as special assistant to Attorney General Tom Clark tends to give one the impression that certain government officials-due, perhaps, to a dislike for the ugly—would rather turn the rock neatly back into place and cover up the rottenness underneath than expose it to the public.

Rogge was dismissed from the Attorney General's Department for disclosing contents of a report he made on Nasi sedltlonist and propaganda plans here. Since the report was originally assigned to Rogge to be written up and filed to the Federal Court here when final action was (if ever) taken on the sedition cases, and It was written with the intention to be made public, why was Rogge ousted from the Department for disclosing its contents? If the reason for the hushing process is that a disclosal of the report might turn a few Nazi-affiliated faces red, then there's hard­ly a reason at all.

Rogge, after all the time he has spent investigating the subject, is In a better posjtion than many others to Inform the American people about Fascist activities to our country—past, present, and future. And if we wish to erase this word "future" from the Fascist agenda, we must first find out who all the Fascists are and Rogge is the man who can tell us.

We do know that some of those mentioned in the report are William Dudley Pelley, leader of the Silver Shirts (the American equivalent of the Hitlerian Brown Shirts), George Deatherage, founder of the Knights of the White Camelia (an organization Klu Klux Klanish in character), Jo Jo McWllliams, head of the Christian Mobilizers, Fascist hate group, Eliza­beth Dllllng, etc. etc. What we don't know is how these people operate (besides spreading antl-every-thlng propaganda), who is connected with them, how far their tentacles reach, and how we can stop them. Rogge and Attorney General Clark know this, and for some reason when Rogge decided to let the truth be known officially, he was subtly silenced.

The execution of the eleven top Nazis at Nuremburg does not necessarily constitute the end of all Fascism; any fool knows that. Until all fascist activities can be traced down to the roots and quelled, we have not rid ourselves of it—and this ridding process should become an immediate goal. It would be too bad to be­come lethargic at this Stage.

The Rogge report should be made public now. Al­though the slippery worms found beneath a rock are distasteful to look at, it Is far better to clean out their activity upon first notice than to attempt the easier way and turn the rock back into place. It's a messy process, Indeed, but guarantees that the crawl­ing things underneath won't multiply underground until they become numerous enough to slide out from under the rock and surround it.

Ordinarily two usable showers would suffice, but with a basketball squad and a large num­ber of students finding it necessary to use the show­ers in the men's locker room, shower-heads should be replaced on those whloh are not in working condition. Here's the lineup:

No. 2—Usable, but soon to fall In category with shower No. 1.

Riva|ry Hockey (iatee Endi In Tie Score/ 0-0

By RITA SHAPIRO

Thanksgiving vacation is only a few weeks away, and as yet WAA has not appointed captains for bas­ketball. It seems that every year this matter is overlooked until a couple of days before recess when the teams must be in to the cap­tains.

A notice is posted on the bulletin board and after a few members of a group house, or sorority (NOT the complete group) have talked it over, they decide to have a team, which later drops out of the schedule be­cause it lacked the support of the majority of the members. This fact has hindered the schedule, teams and play-offs.

In thumbing through the back copies of the NEWS we especially noticed the times when WAA start­ed and concluded its basketball sea­son.

Early Deadline Going way back, before the war,

we discovered that Nov. 10, 1939 was the deadline for teams to sign up for the league, and that games were to be played directly after Thanks­giving. The season concluded on Feb. 14, 1940.

The following year, after signing up on Nov. 15, the schedule was planned for after the recess. Two new teams were added and the play-offs ended Feb. 28, 1941.

Because teams had not signed up before Thanksgiving, WAA decided not to start the sign-up until after vacation. This forced the games to be played until March 20, 1942, which was before Easter. '42 Slow Year

The year of '42 was a slow one. Due to "Inefficiency of WAA" (and I quote from the NEWS of that year), first plans were not started until Feb. 5, 1943, and this forced the schedule to be played after Eas­ter, finally concluding on April 16, when the trophy was awarded.

Learning that more teams intend­ed to enter Intra-mural basketball, games were started on Dec. 3, 1943 when the season began. Again the winners were not announced until after Easter vacation, and the sea­son ended officially on April 28.

Teams were organized before va­cation in the fall of 1944, practices started on December 1, and the win­ners were announced on April 20.

Last year, due to a system of elimination, the schedule was com­pleted by April 5, which was the first time In three years it had end­ed before vacation Practices started on November 30, which was again after the recess Practice Now?

Concluding from the above review that because of more teams in the league, Easter Vacation early in April, and the late start of basket­ball in the fall, WAA has forced play­offs up further in the schedule so that now they are concluded after spring sports have been inaugurat­ed. Why can't practices start now and the schedule get under way In two weeks??? In this way, teams could be organized efficiently, and the sohedule could be made out immediately. Those students who have gone out for hockey have had ample time to secure credit since It Is held three times a week.

Upon interviewing several mem­bers of WAA they were all of the opinion that basketball must be started earlier if the schedule Is to be completed.

Dunlay and Dube, seniors, feel that because of mld-sems and extra work In April practises should begin soon. Also spring sports could be organized more efficiently.

Amid shouts of "Vive la '49!" and "'48, '49, '50! Some class!", the an­nual Soph-frosh rivalry hockey game got underway on Page field last Tuesday. With the sharp twang of late autumn in the air, eleven peppy frosh, clutching their faith­ful hockey sticks, held the power­ful Red Devils to a 0-0 deadlock. For a breathtaking and exhausting forty-five minutes the two teams fought "shin-guard to shin-guard" to claim the longed-for three points.

The Sophomore squad with its year of experience as a united team were favored to win the contest. However, during the first ten min­utes of play it was plain the '49's greatest weakness was it's lack of team work in passing the ball once it was in their possession. Joslin, as left Inner and Owens, as center for­ward were the sparkplugs of the Sophomore forward line. Pulver and Bennett, playing wings, put up a fight that was hard to stop but which lacked that "hockey-finesse'' needed to score. The big guns of the Red Devil's backfleld, Moberg, cap­tain of '49, playing center halfback, and Sittig, playing right halfback, disappointed the fans by not living up to their usual excellence on the field of play. Dot Midgley starred as '49's steadiest plaer-playlng the defensive that upset the frosh many times in their attempts to score

The Blue Jays, with spirit substi­tuting for experience, made a show­ing that surprised both rival classes. The ball seemed to remain in the hands of '50 during the game but both goals were threatened more than once.

Eddie Keleher, right inner, and Ruth Matteson, captain of '50 and right wing, dribbled and passed like hockey veterans. Backing up Elsie Adams, center, Jean Hotallng, cent­er halfback, played an outstanding­ly aggressive game as her long drives placed the ball in scoring position many times. Mary Lou Henkel, left half, and Ruth Smith, right fullback, gave the team the backbone needed to ward off the experienced Sophs.

Since the game ended with a tie score, another game will be held next Wednesday afternoon. Although there may have been a slight shift in opinion, the Sophomores still hold the edge over the frosh. An enthu­siastic crowd Is expected to witness the playoff as both teams battle for victory and a higher rivalry score.

The line-ups for the two teams as used last Tuesday are as follows: Sophomores Joslin, left Inner Pless, righ Inner Owens, center forward Bennett, left wing Pulver, right wing Midgley, left halfback Sittig, right halfback Moberg, center halfback Winkler, left fullback Donnelly, right fullback Mason, goalie Freshmen Keleher, right Inner Weber, left Inner Adams, center forward Dodge, left wing Matteson, right wing Kendel, left halfback Lee, right halfback Hotallng, center halfback Miller, left fullback Smith, right fullback Mlnch.

Saturday's "battle of the century" between Army and Notre Dame should go far toward deciding the national inter-collegiate champions for 1946. The long-awaited clash between the undefeated and untied elevens has been the topic of heated discussions among the men of State. Wondering Just where the support lay among Statesmen, we took a station In the locker room and pro­ceeded to quiz unsuspecting passers-by. Here Is what a cross section of the men of State had to say about the big game: Tucker: Close but Notre Dame 7-0. Osborn: Army to win 20-12. Taylor: Army over Notre Dame 14-13 O'Leary. N.D. of course 26-14. Van Detta: Cadets to romp, 17-7 Thome: Army to take ND 14-13 Pape: Army is sunk ND 18-7 Ernie the Hermit: Ah-eh-one if by

Smith: Irish to win 42-24 Bowen: Army to let loose 20-14 Schick: Can't see Army. ND. 14-0 Biviano: "Army of course.'' Blasberg: Close, but Army 21-13 Ernie the Hermit: Ah—iArmy if—

Sullivan: Too much Army 13-12 Jackson: Army of course 39-7 Weber Army over ND 41-12 Karpiak: ND to upset Cadets 21-14 McNamara: Army to win 27-14 O'Brien: Irish to triumph 14-13 Monroe: West Point on top 7-6 Stone: Cadets to win 7-6 O'Meara: Irish to win 14-13 Llsker Too much Davis and B. 20-7 Gilchrist: ND on reserve power 21-14 Lashinsky Army by two 21-7 Kinn: ND to win 14-7 Walker: Army to win 13-6 Ernie the Hermit: Ah—e—aw shucks

Gimme a coin to flip - -Feeling that Ernie had something

there, we retreated to the P.O. to tabulate our findings. Of forty-three interviewed, twenty-five favored Army and sltxeen upheld the Irish of Notre Dame.

The first meeting of the MAA rep­resentative Council was caUtd by President William Marsland. '47, Wednesday. Discussions and recom­mendations wen made concerning the future policy of MAA retard­ing injuries, Intramural sports, sale of athletic equipment, and a system of honor points.

A recommendation was made to approach WAA to set up coopera­tively an equipment store to sell at a discount athletic equipment for the convenience of the student body. Favorable action will assure the op­eration of such a store within a month.

An attempt, will be made by MAA to encourage the participation of as many students as possible in the intramural leagues. The formation of departmental teams to bolster the basketball league and to create ad­ded competition to the fraternity and group house teams was stressed. The intramural Committee is in­vestigating all possibilities along this line.

A system of honor points will be inaugurated for awards for activi­ties in varsity and intramural sports, and administrative functions.

The Council expressed the hope that all members of MAA center to its future activities.

Lift Saving Clan Still Open All those who have not al­

ready signed up for Life Sav­ing, but who would be inter­ested In joining the class, must sign up before Tues­day of next week on the pa­per provided on the WAA bulletin board. The only re­quirement is the ability to swim.

W A A Plans Semi-annual Tea Next Tuesday

The Women's Athletic Association will hold Its annual tea, Tuesday af­ternoon, November 12, from 3:00 to 5:30 p.m., in the Lounge. Edna Sweeney, '47, president of WAA has announced Marion Hawkins, '49, and Elsa Moberg, '49, as co-chair­men of the event.

All women who have paid, their Student tax automatically become members of WAA and all are most cordially Invited to attend. This will be an excellent chance for all the freshman women interested to WAA to meet the athletic upper class­men.

Miss Isabelle Johnston, Physical Education director of State and Miss Lydia Murray, Physical Education director of Milne, will pour. Enter­tainment will be provided by mem­bers of WAA under the chairman­ship of Mickey Seaman '49. Jean Hoffman '49 will sing a few selec­tions and a fencing exhibition has been planned by Mary Ellen Diener and Celena Axelrod, Seniors.

The following committees have been named to assist the chairmen: Arrangements, Mary Qulnn and Wilma Diehl, Juniors, Refreshments, Paula Tichy '48 and Geraldlne Cal­lahan '47, Invitations, Beverly Sit­tig '49, and Clean-up, Ruth Mattison and Eleanor Adams freshmen.

"Portrait Should Be Composite of Features, Personality And Spirit Of Subject", Says Mme Suzanne Silvercruys, Belgain Sculptress

Repeating a .successful perform­ance here after an absence of five years, Mme. Suzanne silvercruys. well-known Belgian sculptress, cap­tivated her audience in Page Wed­nesday night as she lectured in a freindly, down-to-earth manner and modeled the head of a spec­tator — nil at the same time. The unsuspecting subejet, by the way, was Joan Hombury, '47.

Belying the popular legend that nil artists are tempremental indi­viduals, Mme. Silvercruys exhibited understanding and friendliness at all times during her guest appear­ance here. Arriving at the Albany station un hour ahead of schedule, she good-naturedly perched on her luggage in I he midst of rushing commuters until rescued by an emissary of D&A. The well-known sculptress also exhibits a flair for Ingenous invention, as evidenced l,y tlid wheels attached to the bot­tom of her suitcase, enabling her to transport heavy luggage suns porters,

"I find them very useful In small towns," she said, "for If there are no taxis I can just roll my suitcases UP the street to my hotel."

Ideas on Art Mme. Silvercruys has very well-

defined ideas on the function of art. "Portraits should look like a persons," she declared, "but they should not be like photographs." Pointing out that portraits and busts of individuals should repre­sent the artist's conception of his subject, the sculptress affirmed that such works should be a com­posite of a person's features, per­sonality and spirit. As an illus­tration, she described her procedure lor doing a bust of George S. Pulton after the general's death. Working from a picture of Patton, she studied his career, read several things he had written, and talked extensively with his wife and daughter. Only then did she make the bust, incorporating in her work all she had learned about the per­sonality of the famous war leader.

Pulton's portrait is one of a series of 25 Army and Navy mili­tary leaders which Mme. Silvercruys has been commissioned to do. She has now finished 11 of them, In-eluding busts of Doollttle, King, Leahy, Bradley and other. She

hopes to do Elsenhower and Nimitz

soon, and may fly to Japan next year to complete the group with a bust of MacArtbur. Prefers Children

When asked about her choice of subjects, Mme. Silvercruys replied that she had no preference between men and women, but children were a favorite with her. "They are so much more unaelfeonscious than adults," she explained. She does not mind having children wiggle and squirm while sitting for a portrait, because when they move around there is u variety of light and shadow on their faces, bring­ing out the Interesting planes of their features.

"A bust usually takes about two sittings," she said, "and rarely more than three. I did General Bradley in two sittings of one and a half hours each." The sculptress believes that the time requirement depends somewhat on the indi­vidual, for some people are definite types and easy to do while others require more concentration. Begun Career After War

Mine. Silvercruys began her career shortly after the last war. (Continued on Paijo 5, Column V
