PAGE 4 STATE COLLEGE NEWS, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1944 Eulogies Read; Mens Basketball Lost for Year By Paul Wldem Cy Joan Hylind State students, having fully re- covered from the pre-vacation slump, are now settling into their post-vacation slump, Athletics continue to enjoy their usual insignificant role in college life. At the first basketball prac- tice appeared all of thirty girls out of the almost two hundred who signed up. We realize there are people who have a phobia for writ- ing their names on any available dotted line. But, are there 170 of them at State? Let's hope that when sorority rushing is over and teams are formed there will be more enthusiasm for basketball. In spite of the slow beginning there are indications that there are going to be more teams than last year. Off hand, we can think of nothing more gruelling. Last season teams were playing two and three games a week in order to finish up the tournament. If the schedule becomes any more crowd- ed, we hate to think of the con- sequences. It might be advisable to divide the teams into two lea- gues with the winners in each lea- gue playing two out of three to decide the championship. There would be even more competitive spirit in such a set-up. New Fields From the sublime to the ridicu- lous, we now go to a consideration of TGIF vs OHIM. . .T.h.e. organi- zations are looking for some sort of competition to decide on the respective merits of each. We have no suggestion to offer but in con- sideration for services rendered in supplying the idea, we feel .t is only fair that we be made official referee in any and all said con- tests. In Memoriam Through tear-dimmed eyes, we have watched a beautiful dream fade. The cloud with the silver lining turned out to be a black one. In plain English, MAA basketball, on which we have been placing our hopes for the Sports page, has sud- denly disappeared from the scene. Ah, but it was wonderful while it lasted. For a few peaceful weeks there were no nightmares—no long, empty columns floating endlessly through space mocking us. Everything was going to be lovely. In fact, there might even have been weeks when there would be too much material. A sports editor's paradise. Of course, in this eulogy, we are con- sidering the demise from a personal standpoint. We realize that it means, too, a blow to school spirit and unity of the college. But right now the tragedy Is too close to home to be looked at objectively. Now all is gloom. There will be no basketball. We shall probably have to augment our rapidly- dwindling supply of "Stars in Service." Looks as if we will be needing them. Now comes the difficult matter of deciding who Is to blame for the situation. It seems to be a combi- nation of a lack of interest on the part of the men, too little publicity and a late start. The only gen- eralization we would like to make is that this is a college not a morgue and there must be more than seven men who can and want to pluy basketball. New Sport The latest sport around State seems to bo Room, Room; Who's got u room. Chief proponents of the sport are Hagerty and Ber- brich — but the movement may spread. High hopes that State might put an inter-collegiate basketball team on the court this year were rudely shattered in the realization that in this college there is at the piese.it a lack of co-operation in sports among the male element. Several weeks ago leaders of MAA deauced the idea of forming a bas- ketball team. At the outset seven men showed up for practice but it was all a cace of too little and too late. Medical decree ruled several men out in a few days. Coach Hathaway displayed no praise for the men at State when he said to this reporter, "Yell at them in your story." He was to have coached the quintet. Thus, what was to have been a basketball team went out the win- dow and with it those glorious visions of cheering throngs, ba- ketballs flying gracefully through the hopes and the other thrills that corns with the winter sport. Had mors men been out for the team, had MAA given the under- taking more publicity instead of hushing it behind closed doors State College might today have had a team representing it on the bas- ketball courts of the county and possibly of the state. 'the men of State demonstrated their football spirit this year surely they could have formed a basket- ball team with little trouble. Too little material, too little co- operation, too late in attempting to form, these are the faults that will make State College wait until the day in the future when State basketball scores go splashing across these pages. Albany's Crooked Streets Confuses Bewildered Groom There was a quiet little par- sonage on a quiet little street in Albany. In that parsonage there was an air of tense expectancy. The ground-work was all laid. The bride and her mother were there. The groom's mother was there. Also present were the bridesmaid and the best man. In fact, the only one conspicu- ous in his absence was — Guess Who? Where was the groom? The wedding was scheduled to begin at the stroke of one. Tempus fuglted on its merry way and still no groom. Every one sweated, cursed and fumed to no avail. At exactly 1:03 in walked George Bertram Kiley. He got lost— Basketball Teams Begin Practice; Prospects Good By B. J. McGrath Army-Navy Clash Top Game of Year Saturday afternoon at 2:00 two of the best football teams in the country will trot out onto the turf in Baltimore's huge Municipal Sta- dium. Those two teams are the Army and the Navy. Interest in this game has been fanned to fever pitch by the splendid records of both clubs. Navy, at the beginning of the year, was rated as the nation's fin- est college football team. Navy's hope for an undefeated season was smashed in its very first start when it lost to North Carolina Pre-Flight 21-14. A couple of games later they were waylaid by an inspired Georgia Tech team 17-15. The two early season setbacks have clone more than anything else to weld Navy into the great team that It was sup- posed to be. Since the Georgia Tech game they have been an ir- resistable machine. They haven't rolled up any overwhelming scores, but they treated Notre Dame so rough in winning 33-12 that the latter was easy meat for Army on the following Saturday. Army's Record Army, on the other hand, is un- defeated in eight straight games. In those eight games they have tallied better than a point a min- ute, rolling up 481 to their oppon- ent's 26. Against Villinova they scored 83 points in a game that was cut short thirteen minutes. Army reached its peak of efficiency against Notre Dame. Army on that day could do no wrong in smashing the Irish 59-0. Although they scor- ed nine touchdowns when they played Perm they made a lot of mistakes. If they make those same mistakes against Navy they will find themselves a defeated team. We look for the Navy line to break up Army's quick-breaking attack and for Navy to win by a small margin. Ping Pong Tournament Nearing Early Finish In a burst of speed that threat- ens to eclipse last year's record the MAA ping-pong tournament is well on its way to completion. At this writing only two quarter-final matches remain to be played. The doubles section of the tourney is laggin a bit behind the singles competition. Only two of the first round matches have been played. The individual matches has been very good in spots and not so good in others. Phil Lashinsky, favored to win in earlier predic- tions, had trouble in disposing of Bill Mallory. Lashinsky won the first game by three points, but lost the second 22-20. The pressure was too much for Mallory and in the third game he weakened and lost 21-12. A mild up-set was recorded when Bob Horseman, rivalry ping-pong victor, lost to Cal Zippen in two straight games. Horseman was another of the more favored play- ers in the tournament. Zippen, however, is a steady, often bril- liant performer, who has never really been appreciated. His quar- ter final match with Lashinsky might decide the championship then and there. Jim Miner, another good man neglected by the dopsters, has shown well in defeating Hal Weber and Harry Inglis. Last year Minor was suffering from a broken wrist while the tournnament was under way and was not able to compete. In the doubles division the teams of Zippen, Horseman and Lashin- sky, Kaufman look like the ones to beat. Of these two, Zippen and Horseman are the only ones to get a match played. They easily dis- posed of the Weber, Inglis duo and mw must wait for the Sullivan, Minor vs. Sorenson, Hanson win- ner before they can play their semi-final match. WAA has officially opened the women's basketball season. During the week, practice was held on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings. After a careful observation of the scrimmages and basic tech- niques which the squads partici- pated in, we can safely predict a successiul season. Many of the women who took part in last, year's league games were not on hand for this first practice. However we w.tnessed the prowess of a few of the veterans of previous seasons. Baker, Margot and Sweeney who spark-plugged the all-powerful at- tack against the Sophs last season, were present and in their usual good form. Sweeney plays the posi- tion of guard as well as any sea- soned vet. Sanderson, Seymour and Shoup will still be seen as an unbeatable trio. Sanderson and Shoup were stars of last year's powerful KD team while Seymour tallied mere than once for the Phi Delta squad. We can not fail to mention those two renowned de- mons of the basketball court, Dunn and Slackie. As usual they fill their positions more than capably. Dee, Garfall and Hylind are the sols proponents left to carry on for last season's victorious Chi Sig team. This year Chi Sig will un- doubtedly miss the hard fighting Domann-Latimer-McCormack com- bination which loomed forth to brJng the team to victory in cl~se contests with KD, Psi Gam and Sayles. Newman Hail still possesses an experienced and cap- able team. Groden, Guido, Maggio, Russo and Straub have all seen action on the court and several freshmen seem promising. Fiosh Strong; As yet the freshmen have not turned out for practice in any over- whelming numbers but from all reports we feel certain that a strong team is in the making. We happened to get a glimpse of a few of the frosh in action and we place Boynton on our list of hope- fuls. Her steady playing both as a guard and as a forward promises to give some good competition. Shapiro's guarding is a little weak at present but we see a possibility for some excellent playing. Leng- ycl, another frosh, seems to have a good eye for the hoop and tallies high. Having considered our stars of former years and the powerful material apparent in the freshmen class, we find it extremely diffi- cult to pick a winner. All the teams in the league last year had strong points and stars which will undoubtedly prevail during this season. Mary Seymour, treasurer of WAA Council, has been chosen as this weeks outstanding WAA'er. Mary began her sport career early in high school, finally be- coming captain of Inter-mural sports and winner of the point- award. For those of you who do not come from Lyons Falls, the point-award is given to the person who is on most of the winning teams, including all the sports of- fered for that year. Thte is the highest award that can be given; since it is given to only one person, we'd say—not bad! Active Frosh Lyons Falls was sad, but the Blue Devils were glad, when Mary came to State. In her freshman year she received her life-saving certi- licate, earned credit in swimming, basketball, softball and hockey. How did she ever have time? In her Sophomore year, she was appointed co-captain of basketball and earned credit in three other sports. She played in the softball game which gave the Sophs the rivalry points last year (darn it) and refereed many basketball farcies played last year between the various group houses. When frosh camp time came, Mary was on band telling the frosh "to be sure to sign up for swimming!" That's probably why so many of them did. Thio year Mary came back to WAA as sport conscious as ever. She was elected to WAA Council and her four sports slated for this year are basketball, softball, bowl- ing and hockey. Twice in her Sophomore year, and once this year, she went to Camp Johnston. Counting the first time, in her freshman year, that makes four week-ends of joy. She LOVED them ALL! Plans Sports Considering the sports activities Mary has participated in, while here at State, and knowing how hard she has worked, we feel that she is completely capable for helping to plan the sports program for this year. Participation in practically every sport makes an active WAA'er, and we are certainly justified in saying that Mary Seymour qualifies for this title. W A A Sports Round-Up Things have not been too active on the Sports front this week. Va- cation interrupted the usual routine of events. Life-saving, basketball and ping pong received support. A hockey game between the Seniors and the Sophs scheduled for Tues- day was rained out by rain. Mary Now hopes that there will be time for the game before real cold weather sets in. Swimming, besides the regular life-saving classes is now being of- fered by WAA. There \z a sign-up sheet for all those interested.

Eulogies Read; Mens Basketball Lost for Year

State students, having fully re­covered from the pre-vacation slump, are now settling into their post-vacation slump,

Athletics continue to enjoy their usual insignificant role in college life. At the first basketball prac­tice appeared all of thirty girls out of the almost two hundred who signed up. We realize there are people who have a phobia for writ­ing their names on any available dotted line. But, are there 170 of them at State?

Through tear-dimmed eyes, we have watched a beautiful dream fade. The cloud with the silver lining turned out to be a black one. In plain English, MAA basketball, on which we have been placing our hopes for the Sports page, has sud­denly disappeared from the scene. Ah, but it was wonderful while it lasted.

Basketball Teams Begin Practice; Prospects Good

By B. J. McGrath

Army-Navy Clash

Top Game of Year Saturday afternoon at 2:00 two

of the best football teams in the country will trot out onto the turf in Baltimore's huge Municipal Sta­dium. Those two teams are the Army and the Navy. Interest in this game has been fanned to fever pitch by the splendid records of both clubs.

Navy, at the beginning of the year, was rated as the nation's fin­est college football team. Navy's hope for an undefeated season was smashed in its very first start when it lost to North Carolina Pre-Flight 21-14. A couple of games later they were waylaid by an inspired Georgia Tech team 17-15. The two early season setbacks have clone more than anything else to weld Navy into the great team that It was sup­posed to be. Since the Georgia Tech game they have been an ir-resistable machine. They haven't rolled up any overwhelming scores, but they treated Notre Dame so rough in winning 33-12 that the latter was easy meat for Army on the following Saturday. Army's Record

Army, on the other hand, is un­defeated in eight straight games. In those eight games they have tallied better than a point a min­ute, rolling up 481 to their oppon­ent's 26. Against Villinova they scored 83 points in a game that was cut short thirteen minutes. Army reached its peak of efficiency against Notre Dame. Army on that day could do no wrong in smashing the Irish 59-0. Although they scor­ed nine touchdowns when they played Perm they made a lot of mistakes. If they make those same mistakes against Navy they will find themselves a defeated team.

We look for the Navy line to break up Army's quick-breaking attack and for Navy to win by a small margin.

Ping Pong Tournament

Nearing Early Finish In a burst of speed that threat­

ens to eclipse last year's record the MAA ping-pong tournament is well on its way to completion. At this writing only two quarter-final matches remain to be played. The doubles section of the tourney is laggin a bit behind the singles competition. Only two of the first round matches have been played.

The individual matches has been very good in spots and not so good in others. Phil Lashinsky, favored to win in earlier predic­tions, had trouble in disposing of Bill Mallory. Lashinsky won the first game by three points, but lost the second 22-20. The pressure was too much for Mallory and in the third game he weakened and lost 21-12.

A mild up-set was recorded when Bob Horseman, rivalry ping-pong victor, lost to Cal Zippen in two straight games. Horseman was another of the more favored play­ers in the tournament. Zippen, however, is a steady, often bril­liant performer, who has never really been appreciated. His quar­ter final match with Lashinsky might decide the championship then and there.

Jim Miner, another good man neglected by the dopsters, has shown well in defeating Hal Weber and Harry Inglis. Last year Minor was suffering from a broken wrist while the tournnament was under way and was not able to compete.

In the doubles division the teams of Zippen, Horseman and Lashin­sky, Kaufman look like the ones to beat. Of these two, Zippen and Horseman are the only ones to get a match played. They easily dis­posed of the Weber, Inglis duo and mw must wait for the Sullivan, Minor vs. Sorenson, Hanson win­ner before they can play their semi-final match.

WAA has officially opened the women's basketball season. During the week, practice was held on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings.

After a careful observation of the scrimmages and basic tech­niques which the squads partici­pated in, we can safely predict a successiul season. Many of the women who took part in last, year's league games were not on hand for this first practice. However we w.tnessed the prowess of a few of the veterans of previous seasons. Baker, Margot and Sweeney who spark-plugged the all-powerful at­tack against the Sophs last season, were present and in their usual good form. Sweeney plays the posi­tion of guard as well as any sea­soned vet. Sanderson, Seymour and Shoup will still be seen as an unbeatable trio. Sanderson and Shoup were stars of last year's powerful KD team while Seymour tallied mere than once for the Phi Delta squad. We can not fail to mention those two renowned de­mons of the basketball court, Dunn and Slackie. As usual they fill their positions more than capably. Dee, Garfall and Hylind are the sols proponents left to carry on for last season's victorious Chi Sig team. This year Chi Sig will un­doubtedly miss the hard fighting Domann-Latimer-McCormack com­bination which loomed forth to brJng the team to victory in cl~se contests with KD, Psi Gam and Sayles. Newman Hail still possesses an experienced and cap­able team. Groden, Guido, Maggio, Russo and Straub have all seen action on the court and several freshmen seem promising. Fiosh Strong;

As yet the freshmen have not turned out for practice in any over­whelming numbers but from all reports we feel certain that a strong team is in the making. We happened to get a glimpse of a few of the frosh in action and we place Boynton on our list of hope­fuls. Her steady playing both as a guard and as a forward promises to give some good competition. Shapiro's guarding is a little weak at present but we see a possibility for some excellent playing. Leng-ycl, another frosh, seems to have a good eye for the hoop and tallies high.

Having considered our stars of former years and the powerful material apparent in the freshmen class, we find it extremely diffi­cult to pick a winner. All the teams in the league last year had strong points and stars which will undoubtedly prevail during this season.

Mary Seymour, treasurer of WAA Council, has been chosen as this weeks outstanding WAA'er.

Mary began her sport career early in high school, finally be­coming captain of Inter-mural sports and winner of the point-award. For those of you who do not come from Lyons Falls, the point-award is given to the person who is on most of the winning teams, including all the sports of­fered for that year. Thte is the highest award that can be given; since it is given to only one person, we'd say—not bad! Active Frosh

Lyons Falls was sad, but the Blue Devils were glad, when Mary came to State. In her freshman year she received her life-saving certi-licate, earned credit in swimming, basketball, softball and hockey. How did she ever have time?

In her Sophomore year, she was appointed co-captain of basketball and earned credit in three other sports. She played in the softball game which gave the Sophs the rivalry points last year (darn it) and refereed many basketball farcies played last year between the various group houses.

When frosh camp time came, Mary was on band telling the frosh "to be sure to sign up for swimming!" That's probably why so many of them did.

Thio year Mary came back to WAA as sport conscious as ever. She was elected to WAA Council and her four sports slated for this year are basketball, softball, bowl­ing and hockey.

Twice in her Sophomore year, and once this year, she went to Camp Johnston. Counting the first time, in her freshman year, that makes four week-ends of joy. She LOVED them ALL! Plans Sports

Considering the sports activities Mary has participated in, while here at State, and knowing how hard she has worked, we feel that she is completely capable for helping to plan the sports program for this year.

Participation in practically every sport makes an active WAA'er, and we are certainly justified in saying that Mary Seymour qualifies for this title.

W A A Sports Round-Up Things have not been too active

on the Sports front this week. Va­cation interrupted the usual routine of events. Life-saving, basketball and ping pong received support. A hockey game between the Seniors and the Sophs scheduled for Tues­day was rained out by rain. Mary Now hopes that there will be time for the game before real cold weather sets in.

Swimming, besides the regular life-saving classes is now being of­fered by WAA. There \z a sign-up sheet for all those interested.

PAGES STATE COLLEGE NEWS, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1944

m

•by KIPPY MARSH

STATES-MEN We toil that it is part of our best interests to protect

the best interests of the fellows that are here at State now so we should like to present this letter. Dear Editor:

The other day I happened to overhear several fellows complaining about the living conditions at Sayles Hall Annex. Said one "The living conditions for men of this college are absolutely terrible; the worst of any college in the State." He went on to grumble about having to walk over to Sayles Hall for his meals.

I contend that such criticism is a serious mistake and will point out the luxuries of living at the Annex. I think I should first mention the bathrooms (both of them). Did you know that we actually had a surplus of sinks? Well we did. We had four of them so one day, two fellows, considering this, ripped a sink right off the wall. It fell on the floor, naturally, and there it's been for six weeks. We have two toilets here. For sixteen fellows that's plenty. We also have a bathtub, with shower attached. So you see, with all of these facilities there is plenty of room for everyone and anyone cleaning the bathrooms is conspicious by his absence.

Another way in which we are very lucky is that each of us has fifteen fellows to keep him company (there were twenty in the house; we really hated to see the other fellows leave). There were three others besides myself in a twelve by fourteen foot room, and as I always say "The more the merrier."

And of course I can't forget our bedroom, the attic. There, in one long room, whose walls are wallboard nailed onto the rafters, and which is fully illuminated by one fifteen-watt light bulb (about the size of a golf-ball, and very useful, because by the light of it, we can almost see the front of the room, a good thirty feet), fourteen of us have our beds. In order that the odor that always rises from our beds might not become overpowering and, so that we won't be suffocated, the three windows on each end of ther oom are opened. Then those soft, refreshing westerly breezes that we are getting these days have full access to every part of the room, through which they ripple all night picking up a few blankets etc. on the way). But we don't mind this at all because we're rather used to low temper­atures. A temperature of fifty degrees in the Annex isn't unusual and keep us from getting sleepy while doing homework, thus keeping our marks up.

The highlight of it all is that we are privileged to go to Pierce or Sayles Hall (half of us go to Pierce, half of us go to Sayles) for our meals. Who can en­vision anything more delightful to get up to than a short walk to breakfast bucking a forty-mile wind in the pitch blackness of night andw ith the mercury parked at zero? This will be especially wonderful when the snow is hip deep.

For all of this we pay the same price as the girls who live at Sayles and Pierce do. For the same price we get this added luxury. It gives us quite n surprise because from what we read about the place in the catalogue we thought it was just another group house.

We should certainly not complain and anyone who does simply doesn't know when he is well off.

Sincerely, An Annexer

We were in the postoffice the other day when a prominent member of the Student body, a member of Myskania and various other organizations walked in to buy a stamp. Her very presence excited the admir­ation of the group gathered about, probably because they had been standing in line a while and had noth­ing better to look at. As her turn come at the window she leaned through the window, nearly knocking over the startled postmaster to wipe her stamp on the pad. The postmaster scratched his head and said to the next customer in line, "Boy, I've seen a lot of people in my day but never anything like that."

The First 100 Years . . . Two recent events point to the fact that State

College is growing. One is the appropriation for the post war improvements planned for the college which include a new gym, library and commerce building. The second is the transition of a Student Union from a possibility to a probability. These two things indicate that in IS or 20 years State College will be quite different.

With the new buildings an increased student body may be expected. The region wherein the two dorms, Pierce and Sayles are now nocated will be­come virtually a college quadrangle. The Student Union, if present plans are continued, will occupy the space facing Western Avenue. A gym and possibly another dorm will replace what is now Beverwyck Park. These, plus the two present dorms, will constitute a second campus..

The center of school activities will change from Western Avenue to Ontario Street. A much larger student body means more activities and more sports. The concentration of living quarters in one vicinity will mean more participation for more students. The present, more-or-less provincial cast which extra-curricular activities have, will be changed to that corresponding to the larger universities.

We are at present unique among teachers colleges :n thr slate and country. There are very fey state

colleges wherein students are allowed to completely

handle their own extra-curricular activities with

little or no supervision from the faculty. The STATIC

COLLKGH N E W S is alone among the teacher college

newspapers in the state which has no faculty ad­

viser. Our student body has grown from a small,

self-sufficient group to one which for scholarship

and activities can match any larger college.

All these changes have come about in the hundred

years since the College was founded in 1844. Last

year we celebrated our centenniel.. We marked the

transition from a Normal School to a Normal Col­

lege to a State College. Our vision did not stop

there and we did not sit back feeling that all that

could be done had been done. We can sec within

STATE COLLEGE NEWS, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1944 PAGE I

To the Editor: Several active WAA enthusiasts

weref unobu-jsively taking a poll last week. The topic was, "Do you read Miss Hylind's column?" and, sur­prisingly enough, approximately ten per cent of those asked did. The reason for the neglect of that col­umn, they said, was because it was about everything but athletics and what there was about sports was of a critical nature.

I guess it's just human nature to rebell against a write-up which squelches all the enthusiasm you had, and spoils all the fun you had at basketball practice the night be­fore. Then also at hockey games only the people who score points get honorable mention, not the gal who smoothly passed that ball to the politically prominent wing or inner. Or don't the reporters know enough about sports to make such an analysis?

Everyone is not interested in sports as everyone is not interested In dramatics; but we who have that inclination are all in favor of a change in the policies of the sport page. We suggest that either some­one on the sports staff comes out for sports or that someone really

Hillel Prepares Program For Chamukah Holiday

Hillel will usher in the tradi­tional Chamukah holiday Sunday from 3 P. M. to 5:30 P. M. at Tifereth Israel Institute with a program that will include singing, dancing, entertainment, cards, and refreshments.

Chamukah is the Hebrew cele­bration commemorating the retak­ing and recleansing of the temple following its looting and defilement at the hands of the Syrians. In order to rededicate the temple, the Hebrew high priests rekindled the oil they had burnt before, but found only one vial. This vial lasted for eight clays where lt had been ex­pected to last for only one day. Until this very day, the Hebrew nation burns eight candles, one each night, to commemorate this miracle.

Chairmen for the program in­clude Shirley Gross, '47, entertain­ment and general chairman; Shir­ley Taylor mid Muriel Rosen, soph­omores, refreshments.

enthusiastic about sports be ap­pointed to the staff.

—Sandy and Maridunn To the Editor:

"Lack of interest on the part of the men, too little publicity, and a late start," quoted the sports de­partment of the STATE COLLEGE NEWS as the causes for the death of men's basketball. I think the following facts should be presented to the Student Association instead of mere rumors accepted as facts.

You must have five men to make a basketball team. Practice was held by eleven, not seven as reported :'n the NEWS. Eleven out of 61 is a better percentage than 52 out of 1004 that gave blood. These eleven men had had some experience in high school and college basketball. Yes, due to medical decree, only six out of the eleven could play, five of whom had to wear annoying "glass guards." There was the will to play but physical defeacts can't be over­come.

The last week in October the NEWS carried a fine story on the return of basketball to State. How much more publicity can we have?

Due credit should be given those who wanted to play but could not.

Press Bureau Expands Activity

Press Bureau this year is making new strides in publicizing State Col­lege. The Bureau has sought and obtained the cooperation of local newspapers which has made this enlaregd program possible.

The Albany Times Union has of­fered to print news of the college on its Youth Reporting Sheet. This is only possible if the news is report­ed to them by Wednesday afternoon. Board members of Press Bureau, aicfed by freshman try-outs will con­tact all heads of school activities by this time each week. Vera Kozak, '45, Director, requests the coopera­tion of all students concerned so that State may receive its share of publicity.

Miss Kozak also requests that all upperclassmen check on their Press Bureau cards before the Christmas holidays.

Organizations To Join In Plans For Affair

SCA Prosh Club and the Depart­mental Clubs will participate in their annual Christmas events this week. The Prosh Club will sponsor the Annual SCA Christmas Chapel. Departmental Clubs will usher In the season with an array of parties.

Entertainment and refreshments will be planned by the three organ­izations.

Scream Crash, Murder! As The "Face" Stalks On

"Hey, repulsive! Oh — faux pas! How do you do, Mr. Gar-fall?"

With screams emanating from every corner of Draper and fe­male students fainting to the right and to the left of him, the P.O.-born Mr. Garfall prom­enaded through the halls of State with his daughter, Flor­ence. His glistening bald head crouched deep in his coat collar, his great, sunken eyes staring fanatically into infinity, and his jagged teeth jutting from his gaping mouth, the FACE stalk­ed on.

"Eeek's" were the thing but the PACE was no mouse. Ah, no — his true wolfish instincts soon showed through as he chased a poor, frightened little "chicken" around the P.O.

With a final free-for-all, the masquerade was over and the PACE disrobed. The rubber mask slid off easily and there stood Al Bingham, Esq. — hastily adopted father of "Guff." The gleeful crowd dispersed and the monotony of living again shrouded State. . .

Students Asked To View Exhibits

The art department will be sup­plemented this week by two inter­esting and worthwhile exhibits on the second floor of Draper.

An exhibit of Russian art and literature is now on display in Room 207. This exhibit, presented by Dr. Vivian C. Hopinks, Instructor in English, includes a great deal of material on Russian ballet, drama, music, and government. Attractive Russian Christmas cards, children's readings, and illustrated copies of famous novels add charm and color to this presentation.

Community Planning "Art in the Community" is the

title of the second exhibit along the corridors of Draper. There are por­trayed the ideal post-war commun­ities, as photographed by such re­liable organizations as Farm Security Administration, National Recrea­tional Administration, Life Maga­zine, and many others.

As the displays are both interesting and educational, students and facul­ty are urged to spend a few moments examining the posters.

As we continue this week with our observations of the outstanding WAA members, we cast a satisfac­tory glance in the direction of one Gette Dunn, WAA Office Manager.

Gette hails from Sayville High, situated on beautiful Long Island, that paradise of the gentleman's sports. Long Island may be re­nowned for Its polo, horse racing and boating but Gette confined herself to the more rigorous routine of high school athletics. At Say­ville, Gette went out for all of them (even riding on the Long Is­land Railroad) and earned her sport letters the hard way. Miss Johnston's marching routine at 8:10 was no hardship for Gette as she had Ion;* been accustomed to the swing of it. In high school she had led a marching corps in a gym exhibition.

There was no frosh camp when Gette came to State but her ath­letic abilities were soon revealed as she energetically joined the Blue Devils to counteract the onslaught of the Crimson Tide. Demon of All Sports

In her Sophomore year her prow­ess was even more apparent in the rivalry contest with the Gremlins. Up in the forward line on the hockey field Gette proved to be an invincible opponent and when the basketball season rolled around, we found Gette as the mainstay on the Soph defense. We can not fail to mention the capable and steady playing which Gette displayed on the powerful BZ squad. Last year Gette was co-captain of softball and filled her position on the dia­mond in true veteran style.

In our opinion Gette is the epi­tome of good sportsmanship—a good loser and a graceful winner.

Weekly BowlingLeague Inaugurated By M A A

The pins will be splitting soon with MAA now organizing a men's bowling league. There are twenty men signed up. They are to be grouped into teams of four men each. No titles have been chosen as yet for the teams.

Negotiations for alleys are now underway by Art Kaufman and should be completed soon. The league should start by the end of the week.

No time has been set for the matches but that the league will bowl by the week is certain.

Looking over the prospects, Cal Zippin, a steady bowler, can be counted on for his share of the pins. Art Kaufman is another of the men who can hold his own with the wood. Hal Weber has a fast and sharp ball that should raise his team's average. Bob Sullivan maintains a slow and consistent hook. Harry Inglis is another well timed bowler.

TGIF Wants To Know "Is OHIM Fast Or S/ow?"

TGIF formally issues a chal­lenge to the rival organization OHIM.

On a day set by the said OHIM —that day to be sometime before Chri3tmas vacation — six mem­bers at large of OHIM, chosen for their athletic prowess and sense of equilibrium, are invited to meet six TGIF's, chosen on the same basis. The nature of the ensuing contest will be as follows: The teams will be lined up and each member equipped with a toothpick, to be held be­tween the teeth, the first member of each team will receive three lifesavcrs which are to be trans­ferred to the toothpick of the next member of the team and so on down the line. The first team to successfully complete the line will be declared the winner.

The scene of the contest will be the commons and the student bedy is cordially invited.

WAA Ping Pong A ping-pong tournament for

girls, is scheduled to begin after Christmas vacation. WAA credit will be given for participation in the tournament; these credit hours will be counted as supervised hours. For total credit, 3 supervised and 7 unsupervised hours are necessary. Betty Rose Hilt, '47, will be in charge of the tournament.

Committee Offers Final Resolution For Student Union

Project to Culminate In Assembly Discussion

Culminating the release of three reports initiating tentative plans for the proposed Student Union, the In­vestigating Committee will present to the student body a resolution for the organization and administration of the Union. A photographic ex­hibit and a movie "A Day In A Union" will be secured for presenta­tion through the Association of Col­lege Unions, and several Assembly periods will be devoted to discussion of the proposal. Resolution Outlined

The following is an outline of the resolution:

"Whereas: Student Association ex­pressed the desire for a Student Union and passed a motion, June 2, 1943, creating a Student Union Fund and,

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

Be it resolved that: a) A Student Union Board be es­tablished consisting of eight people— five students, two faculty members, one alumnus. b> The Fund be turned over to the New York State College for Teachers Benevolent Association, Inc., as a trust fund, c)

Ma/seed Suggests Collection Of Service Xmas Cards

Anyone who drops into the outer office of the Dean of Wo­men is liable to see Mrs. Malseed, jjlue pot in hand, poised over an open pa^d. (figuratively speaking, anyway.) Strange? No, she'll be waiting for contributions of V-Mail Christmas cards from facul­ty and students who are being asked to save any cards that they have received or will receive during vacation from former State students.

Faculty members have already been showing around several cards and talking about the State G.I. Joes, who remember their Alma Mater. State will want to know who sent who a card and how things are going over there. Besides, if anyone has lost track of a friend through constant changing of addresses the scrap-book record may hold the solu­tion.

Sounds good, doesn't it?

Last week's sum was boosted, how­ever, when Arthur Kaufman, '47, purchased a $100 bond. This means that individual sales were not as

Assembly Today College Mourns Death To Feature Skit, Q f D f H o w a r d D Q fc,, banta, Larding

An original Christmas skit, the capers of Saint Nick, and Christmas Caroling will ring in State's yule-tide season in this morning's assem­bly.

Six "Statesmen" will frolic in a humorous and entertaining parody of Charles Dicken's "Christmas Ca­rol." Dramatic performances will be given by James Crandall, James Miner, Robert Sullivan, Juniors; James Conley, Phillip Lashinsky, Sophomores, and Bruce Hansen, Robert Sorenson, freshmen. Tears will well even in the most stoic eyes when "Bob" Heart-throb Sorensen appears dramatically in the role of Tiny Time.

An interlude of Christmas Carol­ing by the entire assemblage will fol­low. Peggy Casey, '46, songleader, will direct the singing while Muriel Navy, also '46, will accompany the student body.

The surprise of the program will be the appearance of a jolly, mys­terious Santa Claus. Santa will deviate from his usual policy by giving gifts to unsuspecting members of the student body. He will not reveal the chosen few until the last possible moment. He much prefers to let them tremble with fear and anxiety.

The Student Council committee in charge of the program includes: James Miner, '46, Julia Collier, '47, and Isabelle Cooper, '48.

Frosh Requests Santa's Help In Solving Post-Xmas Deal

Dear Santa: We don't ask much from l i fe -

just to get a few B's maybe, and a coupla more dates. But these things you can forget about if you'll only grant us this one wish. Please don't let us down, because it's the only thing we're asking of you this year, and that's not so bad considering the long, long letters we used to write you three and four years ago.

Santa, we get down on our knees and beg you to put lots of money in the stockings of State College students. But Santa, that isn't all. We beg you to stipu­late along with that gift that they save that money for war stamps. You see, Santa, people usually spend all their money on presents and stuff and then come back broke — and—well-Santa, the Freshmen have the Stamp Booth after vacation. . , .

Please, Santa, don't let us clown. Merry Xmas and Happy New Year!

THE CLASS OF '48

Professor Remembered As Friend, Counselor

State College suffered a severe loss Friday night with the death of Dr. Howard Adams Do Bell, Pro­fessor of mathematics and one of State's most outstanding members. Student memorial services were held Monday at 2 P.M. in Page Hall while private services were conducted at his home In Elsmere. Colleagues Comment

A friend to students as well as faculty, Dr. Do Bell was exceedingly popular with his companions and associates. Dr. Harry Birchenough, Professor of mathematics states that, "In the death of Professor Do Bell the college has lost one of its hardest workers, the mathematics depart­ment a fine instructor, the students a very sympathetic teacher and I, a loyal friend. I have worked with him for sixteen years and had many opportunities to observe and appre­ciate his broad scholarship, his fine analytical mind, and his sympathetic attitude toward students and faculty. I t will be difficult to find anyone who can fill the place he has left."

Another associate in the math de­partment, Dr. Ralph A. Beaver, As­sistant Professor of mathematics thought of Dr. Do Bell as a "loyal friend, ideal bridge partner, fishing companion, and above all an unsel­fish, fellow teacher who was always ready to pass on his best ideas and
