Survey On Younger Generation Finds Youth Grave, Conservative
Grave, fatalistic, conservative, silent, security-minded, gregarious, and tolerant of almost anything. Do these adjectives describe your friends, or even yourself? They should, because Time, in a recent analysis of America's youth (ages 18 to 28) reported these to be their basic traits.
In a nationwide survey, teachers, guardians, and the younger generation were observed and questioned. Results indicate that the grave,
Select Board Member O f Residence Council
Residence Council has elected one of its members to act as the sixth member of Judicial Board, according to Miriam Carter '52, President. This new member is Anna Apostolides '52, President of Pierce Hall.
Judicial Board is a sub-division of the Council. The Board deals with the infractions of Residence Regulations, except those for which automatic penalty is imposed, according to Miss Carter.
fatalistic attitudes stem from the world situation, specifically the "Korean Business." Conservatism is in direct contrast to actions of former generations who wanted to shock their elders.
Along with conservatism goes a silence, which the article terms 'the most startling fact about the ,'ounger generation." Professors 'cannot get a rise out of the docile note-takers in their classes." These traits seem to apply to the interior as well as the exterior: "intellectually, today's young people already seem a bit stogy."
Young people's ambitions are limited to finding a "good, safe job," preferably with a big firm. Young women, a serious problem to the generation, want both a career and marriage. Many feel that just a home and children would be "a fate worse than death."
Although general concensus of opinion terms youth individualistic, in reality it isn't. Outside a group, young people are unhappy.
This is a brief picture of our generation, the "oldest young generation in the world."

Qaal: Mediocrity By ROBERT BERKHOFER, JR.
Today's society appears to have as its major goal, the production of mediocrities. Every element of popular culture seems directed toward this gigantic task.
A lamentable feature of today's life is ths perverted following of fads. "Keeping up with the Jones", Hopalong clothes, Mr. T of '51, the coming model, atl nauseam constitutes the goals of life today to the joy of the merchant . The very use of slang expressions such as "hep" and "in the groove" illustrate this tendency.
"Mai-adjus tment" is almost as opprobrious today as "Communistic". Psychologically everyone must be adjusted, must be normal, must conform, must be a mediocrity or be

However, .;o far only the superficial has been considered. Prying into the core of mass culture, the par t ic ipant ' s mind, one discovers the t rash heap of decaying cliches, s t agnan t facts and trivia. Gleaned from sources like semi-l i terate teachers, pulp-like magazines, and fellow mediocrities, they lie undis turbed by any thinking.

WE'RE HERE BECAUSE . . . Gee! Isn ' t It swell to be back—and only two more

EXTRA SPECIAL Assembly on next Wednesday noon to pass a very
impor tan t financial motion concerning Student Union Board. As you probably know, the board has been operat ing with a very slight amoun t of money grant ed by the Administration. However, this money won't last too long and it is Imperative t h a t they have money to continue their activities. The slate of proposed activities drawn up by the board will include coffee hours at tended by faculty and students , dances a l t e r the seven home basketball games plus sundry other dances, movies and possibly a semi-formal dance with a name band! Plus the financing of these tentative plans, the Student Union Board has numerous other expenditures such as conferences, seasonal decorations and administrat ion or secretarial obligations. Let 's not have taxat ion without representat ion!
UNDERCOVER STUFF??
If we don' t get our $2,000 goal for Campus Chest this year, we should next year . . . 'cause we heard t h a t 550 freshmen will grace our campus next September. This should entai l a new admission system (65 I.Q.), a new cafeteria, some more group houses a n d a new Dean of f reshmen!!
REMINDS US-
Talking about the Student Union Board and their possible formal . . . Seems to us we could cut down on formals—Moving-Up-Day formal, Inter-Sorority and In te r -Fra te rn i ty formal, Jun ior Prom, Senior Prom, and the sorority formals are on the agenda for each year. Couldn't we have all Greek weekends coincide with the Inter-Soror i ty and In te r -Fra te rn i ty Ball weekend? If we cut down the number of formals, it seems as though we'd have a greater a t tendance!
HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT IT?
Radio Council has asked for a tape recorder to record interviews with visiting personages and to aid them in general in their radio work. I t is the intent ion of this group to loan the recorder to other organizations.
The question has arisen as to the reason for a new recorder when the English depa r tmen t has some available. These tape recorders, however, aren ' t available for use outside the depar tmen t .
The request by Radio Council will require a vote by Student Association- -so be thinking about i t -Seems like a good idea!
WHY
Don't the organizations pick up their equipment? There have been three files in the Pedagogue office for centuries . . . unclaimed. The cabinets have arrived and s tand decorating the halls of the Union. Let's get on it . . .
NO CUTTING
Campus, that is! This is considered a serious problem by many and is decidedly against the rules.
TRADITIONS
While we're trying to do away with a few tradit ions, we're also instituting some! The Winter Ball sponsored by the sororities and fraternit ies will be known forevermore by the name "Winta-Lewd," spelled for purposes of convenience or something, "Winterlude."
INITIATIVE!
Unders tand the class of '55 has formed a committee for increasing college spirit. Thi.s is a really fine idea and the best of luck, kids!!

Many mediocrities hide themselves under a thing veneer. The pseudo-intellectual who gushes with nv.'iin-.nglcss polysyllabic words; the sophisticate who sees and hoars what, the "smar t" magazine docs; the cynic who decries all a t tempted art inns to break the bounds of mediocrity because "its Inherent in human nature,,, and the pseudo-democrat, who maintains free-'o-n for all If he dominates are of this type-
Rationalization is the favorite device of I he mediocrity, for he isn't desirous of admitting his many shortcomings. Undoubtedly many who read this column will do likewise to lh" faults they have which are listed herein.

ORCHARD MIST
By PATRICIA BYRNE '54

. . .and silvery haze. .. .guarled t runks of solid....
gray smoke.... . . .and feathery heads of....

RAIN
By THEO RIECK 54
A dismal hour when skies are grey, And time just dwindles aimlessly, Becomes a duel fought with swords, A lusty battle on the bloody field, To one faithful knight Who always conquers, yet without a

rugged steel, For when each one has heard his
tale And tasted of his sweetened wine, He mounts his steed and rides away

Van Kleeck To Address 'Newsites', Former Editors Pilcher Discloses At Thirty-Fifth Anniversary Banquet At Herbert's Religious Agenda
For Association Fraternities, Sororities Will Compete In Sing Sponsored By SCA
In celebration of the thirty-five years of publication of the Sta te College News, the News Board will hold a banquet a t Herbert 's Restauran t tomorrow a t 6 p . m . Dr. Edwin R. Van Kleeck '27, a former editor of the News and now Assistant Commissioner of Education for New York Sta te , will be the guest speaker. His topic is "The News, 1915 to 1951."
Guests of honor at the banquet will be Dr. Evan R. Collins, President of the Co'lege, Mrs. Collins, Mrs. Van Kleeck, and Mrs. Amos Preseott, one of the founaers ol the News. Former News Board members and representat ives from the Hudson Evening Register, printers of the News, will also Join the staff and the News Board at the dinner. Theodore Peene '52, will act as toast-master and Ruth Dunn '53 is in charge of en te r ta inment .
October 4, 1916, was the first publication date of the paper, when a six-page newspaper was published. This first News covered such items as the death of the Dean of State College and the size of the freshman class, with no sports page.
The Class of 1918 presented a Moving-Up Day skit in May, 1916,
DR. EDWIN R. VAN KLEECK
which provided the inspiration for the establ ishment of a school newspaper. President Abram Royer Brubacher gave the Class of 1918 per
mission to form a committee to issue a paper the following fall. Alfred E. Dedricks, President of the class, appointed himself cha i rman of this commit tee and later became the first editor.
The financing of the News was carried on throughout the first year by the sale of subscriptions. When th3 s tuden t budget plan was adopted In 1917, the News was included under ths blanket tax, thus relieving many of the financial worries.
The News was first assembled in a classroom in Draper. From there it moved to one of the rooms now used for the cafeteria, and from there to ths old publications office. The present P.O. in the S tudent Union section of Brubacher dormitory provides modern equipment and room in which to work.
Edwin Van Kleeck made several improvements in the News. Under his guidance the paper earned its first All-America rating. He enlarged the pages to five-column width and l e n g t l r n e d the sheets proportionately. Van Kleeck reorganized the advertising- staff, and through its efforts, nearly doubled the paper 's income.

Ad 9 See 9t Beavers And EEP Swap Positions; SLS Dumps KDR
By DON BURNS
This is the time of year when the sportswriters throughout the country begin picking their Ail-American, All Conference, etc. teams; so, not to be outdone I will join the misiniormed masses and put forth my nominations for the All-IM football team. Sticking closer to the form, I am naming both an offensive and defensive team and I think all those named deserve the recognition for their fine play throughout the season.
Offense: End H. Johnson Potter
Tackle J. Stephenson Indians Center H. Egert Potter
Tackle T. Singleton Potter End T. Murray Angels
Back J. Morrissey Commuters Back B. Wiley, KDR
Back R. Champlin Potter Back G. Schaertl Indians
Defense: End M. Frank KB

These men could have formed the nucleus of a good Varsity football team here at State. Seems as though the money angle is holding us back . . . then again if the student body can raise over n thousand bucks for charity, why can't they do the same for themselves! It's said that "charity begins at home."
Joe Garcia has his hands full of work again; that's nothing new for the diminutive wonderboy as he takes up the coaching duties for the Varsity Wrestling Team and JV Basketball. Joe expects a good turnout for the mat aggregation and hopes to duplicate last year's undefeated record. His load could be too much for some people . . . perhaps even Joe, who just concluded a rigorous soccer schedule. Wonder if the curtailed JV Basketball Schedule could be handled by a couple of student coaches and leave Coach Garcia's full time abilities to the grunt and groaners?
The ping-pong aspirants can view the finals next week as Ted Strauss defends his title for the third year in a row against Al Brown '53.
Potter Takes Title, Conquer Indians, 7-0
In a hard played game that featured rough defensive play and loose olfvn.-.iu' action, the cotter Cluo football team edged the Indians 7-0, for the IM championship.
After an exchange of punts, Harry Johnson intercepted a deflected pass on the Indian 32. Prom this point, the EEP men moved to a TD. A Champlin to Johnson pass was good for 21 yards. A scries of line bucks and sweeps ate up the rest of the yardage with Ray Champ-l.n plunging off tackle from the one yard line on fourth down. "Raymio" slashed off right tackle for the extra point. These points were the only scores yielded by the Indians throughout the entire season.
The Indian offense was played to a complete stall by the Potter defense as they tried numerous passes with no success.
George Schuertle and Paul Victor led the losers along with the line defensive play of Hick Persico, Frank Fay and Pat Carlo played impressively for the EEP defensive corp. The teams battled between their twenty-yard lines for the entire second half.

Taking 3 points from Potter Club, the Baavc-rs moved into the first division of the Bowling League. Potter traded places with the Beavers by dropping to third.

The Potter Grads. of course, remained in first place as thsy drew a bye for tha week's play.
Kappa Beta maintained their hold on fourth place as they took 4 points on a forfeit from the Rum-Dums. Neil Ryder and Morty Frank rolled games of 194 and 189 respectively before the forfeit was declared official. Bert Jablon and Tom King showed for the Rumdums.
SLS, last year's champions, moved to the .500 mark as they took 3 points from KDR. Led by Gordie Bennett who averaged 187'.j pins a game, the men of Willett Street romped despite two fine games by Doug Thorne.
In the lower division the Misfits clung to a slender lead as the Commuters and Finks moved up to a second place tie. The Splits and K-Bobbles traded positions with each other and the Rousers and "FO 4 plus 1" briming up the rear.
Forfeiting the first game, the Finks came back to take three points from the Rousers. Krchniak and Lanni bowled well for (he Finks while Cerwonka and Berleth led the not-so-rousing Rousers. The Commuters swept 4 points from the K Bobbles with Kirch and Ever-hard showing the way in a low-scoring contest.

Maritime will neld virtually the same big, hard-driving out-lit as last year, wuich was sparked by Van Wort and Nelson, and has been uolstered oy the addition of Rosmussen, an Ail New York City nigh bchool star.

On the Monday oeiore vacation the Varsity slaugntered the Alumni bb-43. The oniy two times the contest was in doubt was at the opening wnistie, wnen the score was tied, and at the end of the first stanza, when the count stood 14-12, Varsity.
In tne second quarter, sparked by Art Weigand and Bob brown, the Statesmen jumped ahead to a 10 point lead, and increased this margin progressively, until fortunately tne clock ran out.
Loa-n namaway used many combinations, but the Varsity, never seriously challenged, was guilty of easing up at times, and then, in trying to make up for this, being over anxious, thereby turning in an erratic performance. McDonald and Prout Shine
One of the brightest spots in the teams showing was the line play-making and bustle exhibited by little Gerry McDonald, a ireshman, who managed to maintain his poise throughout the game and almost monotonously set up scoring chances lor his teammates. Another newcomer, Bud Prout '53, a transfer, turned in a commendable evenings work, displaying hustle and drive.
The lineup for tonight's game: forwards, Walker and Brown; center, Taber; and guards, Zongrone and Prout.

Those composing the cast in this affiliate presentation are George Stephens, Grad; Henry Smitn, Thomas Holman, and Roslyn Lacks, Seniors; Richard Scott, Veronica Price, James Hughes, Louis Vion, and Thomas Hughes, Juniors. Without the benefit of sets, costumes, stage movements, or any other customary stage adornments, the readers will render interpretations of their lines solely by the use of certain inflectional and expressive qualities of their voices, Smith states.
This type of dramatic presentation is new to D & A affiliate players. However, because of the success of similar readings in New York City this season, done by the First Drama Quartet, G. B. Shaw's "Don Juan in Hell" from "Man and Superman," D. & A has attempted this more difficult but stimulating type o' dramatic presentation, states Smiti1
Smith invites all students to the presentation. There will be no admission charge.

A number of statesmen have gone from leaching to preaching. Rev Warren Densmore "lit, Pastor of St. Mary's church, Tampa, Florida, Rev.
Ernest Case '41, Pastor of Emmanuel Methodist church, Waltham, Massachusetts, and Rabbi Herbert Drooz '311, Wilmington, Delaware, are proving that teaching and preaching are quite alike.
