The committee found that: contracts for varsity games are made during the period from December to March previous to the school year in which the games are to be played. The bud­get is not submitted to Student Association until May which means that these contracts must be made without MAA having any assurance that the money for expenses incur­red under these contracts will be made available under the MAA bud­get approved in May.

* * * ! * STATE CQULBOt NBWS, FRIDAY, FEBRUAftY Hv 1047

To Prmcrvc Our Integrity . . . The integrity and honesty of college students

have been subjected to an abnormal amount of public probing in the last few months. The move, which started in Texas, finally reached Albany in the form of an investigation of exam techniques in use at this college.

As a result of this poll, the News conducted its own survey and obtained results that surprise no one and could have been predicted in advance. There is some cheating at State, as there is in every school, but it exists in such a small degree that it presents no acute or alarming problem.

Oib sheets and other devices for bringing notes into exams are practically unknown here, and no elaborate techniques have been developed for the purpose.

Answers to the survey indicate that there is neither time nor desire to cheat if the exam is fair and conducted in an intelligent manner. The only time the students feel there is justification for extra-curricular work during tests, according to the survey, is when the exam covers material not treated in the course or is much too long and too hard to be completed in the allotted time.

In addition, Dean Nelson expressed the opin­ion that most exams here are of such a nature that the student couldn't do any better if he was turned loose in the library. This is especially true of more advanced courses taken by Seniors and Grads. And yet these two classes were the ones, according to an outside poll, which were the most skilled in cribbing and indulged in the practice most often. Consideration of the long, subjective tests that most Seniors and Grads have to take indicates that cribbing would involve more work and worry than actually studying for the course.

Cheating has never been a serious problem here, and we do not feel that there has been any radical change in the situation calling for investigation or action.

Athletics Go To Assembly . . . Athletics move into the Assembly spotlight to­

day with a discussion of the proposal to vote on the Varsity Athletics line of MAA budget in De­cember instead of in May.

The proposal was made by the Student Associa­tion committee appointed to investigate our Var­sity program and is designed to facilitate forma­tion of next season's schedule.

The Varsity program has been operating under staggering combination of difficulties since its re­vival last year and is in need of increased support from the school. If voting on the Varsity Athletics line five months early will aid the program in any way, there should be no reason for not approving the motion when it comes up for a vote.

This isn't a Jun ior Ed 10 Class, but an article appear ing in the Syr­acuse DAILY ORANGE on objec­tive exams just couldn' t be passed by any red-blooded Junior . The evaluation service of Syracuse, un ­der the direction of Dr. Maurice Troyer, h a s been making a study of tests and examinat ions on a scien­tific basis. This group h a s classi­fied objective type tests as "neces­sary and advantageous under the conditions of mass-product ion edu­cation, bu t plagued by difficulties in measuring abilit ies r a t h e r t h a n memorization of facts. Dr. Troyer still feels t h a t the essay type of exams are the "best type to deter­mine how well s tudents can or­ganize their th ink ing with respect to a problem." He lists two major difficulties of this type of exam, however: 1—difficulties in marking and grading large numbers of this type of exam; 2—a s tudent know­ing his mater ial well but weak in a couple of areas may suffer out of proportion to his actual know-edge of the subject ma t t e r as a whole.

I t has been shown tha t five times as much mater ia l can be covered in an objective examinat ion. As ob­jective tests are conducted now it Is the s tudent with a photographic mind or a good memory who rises to the top. Dr. Troyer feels t ha t the development of objective questions calling for s tudent interpreta t ion and appraisal would make these tests more effective, but they are difficult to devise and very few in number a t the present. "Use of the interpretat ive objective questions Is still more or less In the develop­ment s tage" Dr. Troyer stated.

It is t rue tha t some subjects lend themselves more easily to the ob­jective type of exams. However, heavy enrollments In nearly all of the depar tments are driving them to the use of objective questions. It is Interesting to note tha i true-false exams were considered Inferior to almost all other types.

One other point which Dr. Troyer stressed was the Importance of re­viewing exams immediately after­wards. It seems " the best learning takes place during the next period after an exam.

Jus t In passing I might men t ion the fact tha t rumor has it t h a t there are still some members of the fa ­culty who trust us in spite of a cer ­tain little article appear ing in t he Knickerbocker News earlier this week. Thanks .

Our basketball t eam showed evidences of having h a d a shot in the a rm Tuesday night , losing to a favored Siena team 62-41. Although this game adds to Sta te ' s long string of losses, t he spiri t speaks for a better future. Chuck Houghtal ing, Pres ident of the Siena S tuden t Senate said, "S ta t e showed fine spirit. If Siena h a d the same drive, we would be unde­feated."

How's t h a t Again? Sign found on bulletin board in lower Draper:

"Any F r e s h m a n Girls Interested in Sining in Chorus for Big 8 . . . . Rehearsal Tonigh t in Room 28." Luck­ily there were no signatures a t tached , which speaks well for S ta te women. This brings to mind a state­m e n t made by Dean Milton G. Nelson in Tuesday's Knickerbocker News. "We have a pret ty innocent bunch here anyway."

T h e chea t ing theme is now making na t iona l mags a n d city newspapers. For reference check 17 February Life and Tuesday's Knickerbocker News. Life picked the University of Texas as a proving ground and the Knick took up the cry and sent a reporter to State. I t is alleged t h a t Life has a lawsuit on its hands now as a result. The NEWS is running the results of its own survey on page 1.

We took a little survey of our own about the col­lege and our results are there. Yes, some cribbing does take place on examinat ions . In many cases, it was in courses in which "cooperation" was almost invited. Girls are more guilty of cheat ing than men.

B u t well over 50 per cent of all people asked had never seen nor ever indulged In any cheat ing.

T h e article in tho Knick picked "future teachers" to survey. The number of people interviewed was not given. Likewise, statistics were strangely lack­ing.

And despite the fact t h a t all means of journalistic cleverness were employed, the cold hard facts are t h a t there is relatively little cribbing a t State.

Some s tudents acquainted with other colleges in the vicinity suggested tha t cribbing was much more prevalent in these other colleges.

Various methods mentioned were writing on knees, keeping a crib sheet in a jacket pocket, whispering', writing on the desk before the exam paper is handed out, and peeking at a book.

It should be remembered, however, tha t any final examinat ion is a combination of what a student learned during the course and how effective the instructor was.

Congrats to Faculty The faculty is leading off in the campaign here

to raise tearhers ' salaries. They have nothing to gain themselves in doing this, but a questionnaire is being sent around, asking whether or not efch mem­ber of the faculty favors going on record in sup­port of the Young-Milmoe Teachers ' Salary Bill and the Young-Milmoe Sta te Aid Bill. This will 'not affect a single member of the faculty.

Surely If they ran do something like this, we, the ones affected by the pending legislation, can do even more. 2,500 letters to our Assemblymen and Senators would mean a lot. If vott don' t know their names the library has them. WRITE TODAY TNFORMTNO YOUR LEGISLATORS I F YOU WANT THEM TO S U P P O R T THE YOUNG-MILMOE TEACHERS SALARY BILL. And have your parents do the same.

Representat ives of 11 s ta te teachers colleges from the sub­ject ma t t e r depar tmen t s at tended, the Education depar tments having had their conference in September.

Dr. Harvey Rice, Professor of His­tory, Dr. Ra lph A. Beaver, Profes­sor of Mathematics , Dr. Ralph G. Clausen, Professor of Biology, Dr. Harry W. Hastings, Professor of English, Dr. Char les F . Stokes, P ro ­fessor of Music, and Dr. J ames W. Childers, Assistant Professor of Spanish were t h e representatives from Sta te College.

Common Elements of Teacher Ed.

A n opening address was given by Hermann Cooper, Commissioner of Teacher Training-. The delegates were divided into three groups, So­cial Studies, Science and Mathe­matics, and English, Music and Art. Special a t ten t ion was given to the questions of what the com­mon elements in the general educa­tion of a teacher should be, and the means by whicn the s tudent 's com­petence in his general education can be tested. Each group drew up a s ta tement at the end of the week of the most fundamenta l divisions of the respective subjects and a summary of the basic skills requir­ed for a thorough unders tanding of them.

Math and Science Depar tments The Science and Mathemat ics

section stated t h a t the ability to compute with integers and frac­tions is necessary for all educated citizens, but the teacher must, in addition, have a clear comprehen­sion of the number systems. An unders tanding of the way t h a t m a ­thematics has affected the develop­ment of the a r t s and sciences, mod­ern business and industry, and crit­ical thinking is also necessary. Evaluation of s tudent competence in the field should be conducted so its to evaluate knowledge of the sub­ject and to accomplish the purposes of testing the s tudents ' ability to apply this knowledge to now situa­tions; to evaluate the at t i tudes pos­sibly developed in those classes and to test the growth in abilities dur ­ing the academic career of the s tu­dent.

Philosophy Croup

The Philosophy group felt t ha t flie teacher who sincerely accepts the principles of democracy demon­st ra tes liis acceptance by recogniz­ing and valuing personalities of o thers and extending it, beyond the classroom. The teacher works with living materials wherever possible. The student, should gain an under­standing- tha t correctness is relative ra ther than absolute and varies with the occasion, according to the English section. The Art, English, and Music groups have gone on rec­ord as favoring In those colleges Interested, exploration of a course to be called, "Expression in the Arts."

In formulating the fields of In­quiry in the Social Studies depar t ­ment, the group decided tha t em­phasis should be put. proport ionate­ly less on the tradit ional Western European cultural phase and stress the contributions of all cultures, particularly the areas neglected up to this point.

Our story wouldn't be complete without mentioning the Little Five. Four of the Little Five are girls, and one Is a boy. At first the dis­interested members of the family made fun of the clothes the Little Five wore, and laughed louder each game because the Little Five stuck by the Big Five. The Little Five felt worse and worse, They were tired of the jeers and comments of the family so they bought new clothes thinking this would surely make everybody happy. It didn't. And Then There Were None

One particular Friday night the Big Five was throwing Its usual party In the largest room of this large house, and when they got out on the court and looked around It was plain to see the Little Five was there, the Jones's were there, but

Advanced Dramatics opened the second half of its season ln a man­ner somewhat short of triumphant. Both productions succeeded very well in capturing the fancy of the audience, a fact which was reflect­ed in the highly acceptable transi­tion from the farce of the opening presentation to the tenseness of the last.

Mr. Baldwin could not have chos­en a play richer in comedy both of character and situation. His set was good, although his cast found itself in occasional dilemma due to

Capitol Offers Birdseye View Of Lawmaking

Ed. Note: Two reporters from the STATU COLUBOK NEWS visited a ses­sion 01 the State Legislature last. Wednesday to observe the work­ings of state government The fol­lowing article is a record of their observations. Students are permit­ted to observe sessions of the. Leg­islature at any time.

People walking in and out, talk­ing, and smoking . . . Scene: the State Assembly in session.

The Assembly chamber, lighted by four chandeliers, was filled with cigar smoke and the hum of voices as representatives gathered in numerous groups to carry on dis­cussions. The Speaker's voice was heard above the noise of people entering and leaving the chamber to bring documents to the repre­sentatives.

The Chamber Itself is a high-ceillnged room with arched stained glass windows. The long desk of the Speaker is located on a high platform below the ".allery in the front of the room, wl tic the Assem­blymen's desks are .rouped around the Speaker ln a semi-circle.

During Wednesday morning's ses­sion, the Speaker was reading amendments to various bills, stop­ping only to call for a vote. This seemed to be nothing more than a formality, as no response to the question was heard, and each amendment was curried. During the order of business, the Speaker called for order and read Governor Dewey's resolution to proclaim the fourth Sunday In September, Inter-Faith Day, for the furtherance of Intor-raclai relations.

After the adjournment, of the As­sembly at 11:45. our guide conducted us through the marble halls of the Capitol, to the chamber of the Sen­ate. In contrast to the Informality of the Assembly session, we found the Senate quietly carrying on the day's business of law-making. The thlok-carpotod floors muffled the noises of the messengers walk­ing in and out, and only the voice of the Senate President could be heard.

the miscalculated placement of fur­niture arid the "stage-old" automa­tic opening of closet doors.

The house was with Granny, in the person of Archie Riber, all the way. The use of a few well-placed gestures would have added greatly to an otherwise completely laugh­able character. The other members of the cast, we feel, missed a great deal of the comedy in their char­acter. Mr. Llsker seemed to have mistaken stiffness for awkwardness and missed that part of the humor in his characterization that addi­tional action would have provided.

Miss Schoonmaker is to be con­gratulated on the sensitive handling of a very difficult play. The use of background music, something which we see all too infrequently on the Page stage, helped a great deal in establishing the mood and in get­ting the audience ready for what was to come. More subdued light­ing throughout would have been more in keeping with the play's funeral theme and would have made the make-up less noticeable.

The Oscar of the week goes to Edith Dell for her superb character­ization of the old mother, which was consistent and convincing at all times. It is gratifying to see that Miss Dell is as competent in trag­edy as she is in comedy.

Miss Hilt and Miss Rubin were unconvincing in their big scene, though the rest of their perform­ance was adequate. Mr. Lubey and the Keeners are to be congratulated on their intelligent Interpretation of small but important roles.

Select Delegates To Student Meet

Student Council has appointed Catherine Donnelly and Stanley Abrams, Sophomores, to represent State College at a conference of all up-state New York colleges to be held at Vassar College in Pough-keepsie, tomorrow afternoon at 1 P. M. The topic of discussion will be the National Student Organiza­tion.

Tills meeting is a follow-up of the recent Chicago Student Conference at Chicago University, at which three hundred universities and col­leges were represented. Plans were made at that time to continue work at Poughkoopsio on the National Student Organization, whose pur­pose Is two-fold: to promote the de­velopment of cooperation of stu­dents on a national and on an inter­national basis.

Student problems, such as currl-cular, student government, and dis­crimination will be discussed under a national basis to fulfill such needs as Increased educational fac­ilities, housing, and scholarship, and under an International basis through affiliation with the International Union of Students, to create the friendship and understanding to achieve peace.

Baker Resigns As President Of Sophomores

Robertson Baker, '49, announced yesterday at a class meeting of the Sophomores, that he is resigning as President of the class. In announc­ing his resignation, Baker released the following statement for the class of 1949:

"This letter is a formal announce­ment of my resignation as President of the class of 1949. I have, for the last three semesters, used as an ex­cuse for my poor grades, the alibi that holding this class office takes too much of my time. The only way I can prove to myself tha t I'm capable of college work Is to give up my excuse, and that means resign­ing the office.

"The success of the class of '49 in rivalry lies in its student coun­cil, and I feel that this council will continue to lead the class as it has in the past. I want to thank you for the privilege of working with you."

Baker has been President of the class of '49 since its organization in October of '45, having been re-elect­ed In May for this year. It was Baker, who as President of the class, led '49 in rivalry. He was a member of the banner committee both years, and as representative of the class of '49 received the Campus Day Cup. Last year, he participated in the freshman Big-Eight. Baker has also been a member of Student Council for two years.

Robert Klttredge, Vice-President of the Sophomore class, will assume the duties of the President until another election is held.

Campus Queen Now Reigns As "Miss Fancy Pants/"47

Campus Queens have a pretty soft life, after all the fun Is over with. It has even come to the point where their clothes are supplied for them. Last week, a package arrived for Sally Johnson, this year's Campus Queen, containing a pair of "fancy pants," made by a well known firm. This latest example of what the well dressed Campus Queen wears, are a lovely shade c(f pale chaitruese, measuring about three yards around the waist line. The bottom Is fring­ed like a curtain, and a draw­string is the only belt. They are /recommended for beach Wear and as a substitute for slacks, though some say they make an excellent teaching costume. This latest innovation in women's ap-paral can also be worn by the op­posite sex for lounging and as an accessory to smoking jackets.

Yes, the bloomer girl has re­turned . . . returned in chart-rucse "fancy pants." My, how grandma would blush.
