Student Council To Sponsor Tea; Discuss Voting

Plans for the annual student-faculty tea and a report from the Voting Committee were the gen­eral topics discussed at last Wed­nesday's meeting of Student Coun­cil.

The Tea will be held February 19 and Alice P. Walsh '48, Presi­dent of Student Association, ap­pointed Qeraktlue Cooperman '50, general chairman of the affair.

Gerhard Weinberg '48, member of the Voting Committee, presented a draft of the committee's report to the association and as there are additional recommendations to be

For the information of those who are in doubt, the cafeteria line has not extended from third floor Draper to the supervisors offices in Milne—those crowds ot Stockingless Seniors and hys­terical underclassmen are looking for greater rewards than a mere pickle and peanut butter sand­wich. They were merely trying to discover if they received the credit points which would keep them off the "D" list.

The lines began to form early Tuesday morning. Students leap­ed hysterically over piles of pa­per, blocking the offices of the professors, only to find a shell of the man who, but two weeks ago, looked normal, healthy and hap­py!

Some students left triumphant­ly, some dejectedly, some grab­bed a stack of about 100 papers and threw them in the profes­sor's face, but most hastened to Dean Nelson to request changes in the administration.

PAGE t STATE COLLEGE NEWS, FRIDAY. PEE. 6, 1 0 4 8

Wherein Lies The Fault? A college is in a fine state of affairs when a

student cannot arrange his schedule until the mid­dle of the semester because his previous teachers have not had the time to correct his prerequisite course exams. We are taught in Education courses that there is such a thing as mental fatigue. We see around us proof of it.

About one hundred teachers have been obliged to proctor about three hundred courses (there are on the average three sections for each course) in ten days of exams. Over 1300 students have been forced to sit in on at least four of these. You notice the words sit in on. According to the unwritten laws of State College and the verbation threats of some instructors, a student cannot hope to do well in an exam without at least fourteen hours of study. If on the first day a student has 2 exams, pre­ceded by a 4:30 Ed 10 class or science lab, how is it possible for him to put in the required 28 hours of study in less than a 24 hour period? How can a student possibly do more than sit in on his three hour quizzes.

The results revealed when various instructors reviewed the examination papers prove that point. From all classes have come tearful exclamations of failure . . . more than the usual amount it seems.

Even the faculty has expressed its views on the lack of organization shown in scheduling the exams until the first day of second semester. Practice teachers seem to have borne the brunt of this dis­organization. During the ten-day period they were forced to proctor exams, grade papers, and carry out their final duties as practice teachers, and, in addition prepare for and subject themselves to their own exams.

The average student has consumed 84 hours (if he has six exams) in studying and taking them, about 80 hours in sleeping, and there are only 240 hours in ten days. He has 40 hours for relaxation, less the time consumed in getting to and from the exams and the library. Moreover, he must allot time to arrange his schedule and to go through the complicated process of registration. The straw that breaks the camels back is the fact that the fol­lowing day he must be bright as a Roosevelt dime to start a new semester of work.

Somebody has the wrong slant on the nature of the "beings" inhabiting this institution. They are not autamotons or robots, but human beings, many of them in their teens, requiring at least a normal amount of rest . . . (so we are taught in Ed 10 A and B.)

We are a state institution and must, like any oth­er factory, put in so many hours. Granted! But can't the mentally fatigued, both students and in­structors, be permitted one day for rehabilitation? Wherein lies the fault?

NEWS ITEM: England's Bevin, Royldeebubs are alarmed by their in a recent announcement has sug- peculiar social structure—where tra-gested that the states of the Wes- dltlon has been cast aside, and the tern world form a strong "spirit- country is ruled by the masses and ual" union as a defense against there is personal ownership. The Is-Russian imperialism. The problem moffs have reached out with shar-is tri-fold — for England, United pened claws to catch the cloaks of States and Russia, their neighbors — to warm their

frozen bodies and turn the fields into arsenals.

The Cashegops' world, after all, is a world to be envied. The cities are built on bakelite hills and chrom­ium roads crawl to the summits. The houses of processed lucite reach al­most to the clouds—under the earth, caterpillar vehicles on corrugated tracks rush the citizens of Cashegop to the Uranium metropolis . . . to mahogany offices . . . and work­shops of steel. And the Cashegops are a happy and benevolent people . . . for they are the products of love and prosperity.

Across a tossed-blue ocean live the Royldeebubs, the dearest friends of the Cashegops. Their bakelite hills are not as high . . . and the roads have begun to tarnish. But the Royldeebubs are a gallant tribe and have braved the tempest of change. A time of blood, sweat and tears has allowed a little coal-dust to mingle with the ermine. The Royldeebubs are a moral people . . . but they are suspicious of the strange tribes on the eastern plain —the tribe whose functions are om­inous and different from their own. And this is the tribe of the Ismoffs.

The Royldeebubs shiver with dis­comfort and the spasms turn into throbbings. Opgoo, Supreme Min­ister of Royldeebub. stands on his leaning tower and reads his procla­mation—to save the world from the scourge of this Nemesis. And it says herewith that the Royldeebubs will be the saviours of the western hills and the tiny states that dot the countryside—hundreds of tribes: to the North and South and West^-band together and this synthesis will cement a fraternal union against intercourse with the man-eating slaughterers of Ismoff. Opgoo calls pleadingly toward the petroleum rivers of Cashegop and the Cashe­gops answer. There Is rejoicing in the uranium cities of Cashegop and in the tarnished streets of Royldee­bub. And thus, the death warrant is legalized and the intrepid tribes sit in anxious waiting.

And into the brew, they pour the nebula of their fear . . . and each day they would add to its strength. They gather brigades and mercen­aries, so that they would be pre­pared for the attack of the seducer. BUT . . . IF the culture of the Is­

moffs is completely valueless . . .

. . . IF the souls of the Is­moffs are essentially evil . . .

. . . IF the unity of two tribes depends on the aliena­tion of a third . . . AND

. . . IF the Royldeebubs can learn nothing from the Ismoffs, and if the Cashegops can learn nothing from the Roy­ldeebubs, THEN, Op­goo, your solution Is too weak!

This Reporter is given the widest latitude as author of this column, although hie viewpoints do not neces­sarily reflect those of the STATI COIAMM NBWB.

We welcome the opportunity to make a rew com­ments as part of the Junior Issue by the class of '49. Settling down again after the toil and turmoil of final exams, we would like to leave these thoughts with you. CROWDED LIBRARY CONDITIONS

You well remember the crowded conditions In the library this past semester. And we refer not only to the exam period crowding, but to the state of confu­sion that has existed in the library during first semes­ter. Of course, with the larger enrollment, the library Is In greater demand. Many students use the library as a study hall rather than as a referance room with the result that other students who wish to make use of the reference material are unable to do so.

Considering this undesirable condition, we are won­dering if the Lounge could not be used as a study hall—student conference room. If those desks, piled high in the annex, were placed along the left wall of the Lounge, away from the main fire place section, they could be put to a more practical use and, at the same time, alleviate the present crowded condition in the library. We are sure that this would not interfere with evening programs in the Lounge as the desks would be out of the way of the activity going on in the Lounge.

THE VOTING QUESTION Student Association has been successful this year

In eliminating some of the long-standing grievances around State. The much-debated Infirmary Program has been replaced by the new Insurance Plan. The Commons Program has passed through its first stage with the painting completed, and with the arrival of the new furniture another step towards greater Improvement will be made.

There is still one major issue, however, to be cor­rected. We make reference to our present voting system. T h e voting committee has been working since October to make the corrections necessary to have a more efficient system. Attempts to hold open meetings on the Issue have met with poor success. It is not the purpose of the committee to attempt to dictate to the majority, but to get a greater range of viewpoints.

Tills issue should not be lightly brushed aside in order to get it over with. Let us, then, attack the Issue intelligently, and come out with a better voting system.

CHANGE STUDENT BOARD ELECTION? Concerning the subject of the Student Board of

Finance—couldn't we improve our method of electing members to this all-important Board? Under the present system we elect an entire new Board every year. Any member who has served one year and would like to continue, must be re-elected In the spring. We vote for two Juniors and four Seniors to make up the board. Would it not be better to elect four Juniors this spring, and next year elect two juniors ot succeed the Seniors? Each year after­wards elect four Juniors to bring the Board to the required six. Any student who desired could serve two years, and this would bring about a better ar­rangement.

There is more work entailed in being a a member of the Board than most of us realize. If students are willing to serve two years, they should be giver the opportunity without going through the process of reelection each year. Under the present arrangement too much responsibility falls on the Junior members.

The time spent in practice teaching work often makes it Impossible for an Inexperienced board mem­ber to devote all the time necessary to carry out the duties of the office. Under the revision we pro­posed this condition would be remedied as the Senioi serving his or her second year on the board ooul more easily and efficiently carry out the necessai work and still carry the practice teaching load.

To date, the number of students holding these policies Is not yet a majority of the school population. The figure Is not high because of the delay and discussions held at the beginning of the year.

Tire commuters have decided to bowl for fun rather than compete in the league, although the basket­ball team will participate in league games.

By EVANS and FITZMORRIS After breaking both arms filling

out applications we hopefully arrived at Frosh Camp, where we were greeted with rain, food lines and the innumerable blocks In the In­gle Room floor. Now that we had been assembled as a class, we were prepared to face anything. From the 17th to the 20th we stood in registra­tion lines wondering what was going to happen next. After that we sat in classes doing the same.

Then joy of joys . . . our unend­ing number of receptions began. They all treated us like h u m a n s -then we met the class of '48 and rivalry was officially on Its way. To prove that they liked our colors so well the Sophs came after our blood. (Also our money.) Activities Day they charged us for assembly seats and dates with Lashinsky and Sullivan, but we weren't dumb enough to sign up to guard Minerva —we knew '48 had a tenure.

The Forty-Nlners really showed their valor on Campus Day. We took

the skit, the races and the cup, while "they" took the banner.

From then on we were on our own. We elected our officers with Dunn os leader, but Uncle Sam chose him too. We voted again, putting Bob Baker in first place this time.

Warnings came out the day before Thanksgiving vacation, just to re­mind us that we were still at State. Then Dean Nelson kindly gave us a five day leave of absence so that we could explain matters to the people back home. After which we came back to school to rest for three weeks! This was followed by Xmas vacation. With the new year we went out for extra-curricular ac­tivities in a big way, but these exams didn't interfere with our education.

During the second semester we presented our first Big-8, "And So It Goes"—and so It went. How were we to know that '48 was going to have time to give us competition?! With this little production behind us, we counted our rivalry warnings and gathered our troops together

for the last big event of the y e a r -Moving Up Day. For experience we carried on an all-night siege and flew our banner over Red Hook. (Bentley assisting.) But with all our efforts we bowed to '48 — we couldn't think of a better class to lose to. (Anyway we had one cup to drink out of.) At this tune we greeted our new officers, bid a fond farewell to the Class of '46, took time out for exams and then de­parted for our respeotlve summer places.

Fall found us as sophisticated Sophs freezing at Frosh Camp along with the Class of '50. We looked the new class over . . . especially

Chicago U. Offers Scholarship

Dr. Milton G. Nelson, Dean and Acting President, has announced that the University of Chicago is offering ten tuition scholarships of $450 each for college graduates who intend to become college teachers.

Applicants must have completed requirements for the baccalaureate degree during the year 1947-48 and the scholarships are limited to stu­dents graduating from independent colleges of liberal arts which are on the accredited list of the Association of American Universities.

By SHIRLEY WILTSE From New Castle-on-Tyne, Eng­

land, has come an addition to the student body of State Teachers' Col­lege. She is Miss Jean Sherlock, ex-teacher of German and French In England.

Jean came to State to take her Master's degree in French. Her B.A. in Modern Languages she took at Kings College (The University of Durham). In line with the English system, she got her degree in three years, and then studied a year for her teaching diploma.

Before coming to America, Miss Sherlock taught French and German for three years, two of them in a co-ed high school, and one in a girl's school at Ripon In Yorkshire.

A year ago, she gave up teaching, took a business course, and went to Switzerland to work. It took several months and much red tape to clear the way for her studies in the "States".

After a rough trip on the "Queen Elizabeth", her reactions to New York City were varied. In her own words, "I am quite overcome by New York, buildings, cars, shops, traf­fic! Times Square and Broadway are unbelievable."

With Albany, the 'hostel' (dorm) and State College, Miss Sherlock is greatly impressed. She is surprised because so many houses here are made of wood, for in England they are mostly made of brick or stone. She admires the traffic management and system of road clearance.

"And the food," she exclaimed.

To Plan Murals For Commons

Helen Kislel '48, Grand Marshall, has announced that a meeting will be held In the Commons at 3:30 p. m. Wednssday, for all organization heads or representatives to discuss plans for murals and caricatures for the Commons. Reassignment of desk space in the Commons will also be discussed.

"After what we get at home! We are very strictly rationed, and have less of many things than we had during the war. Clothing coupons must last for a longer time, no 'petrol' is al­lowed for private use, and cigarettes are almost one dollar per pack."

Miss Sherlock likes the dorm, the girls, the school. In short, she Is glad she came.

Red Devils Trace Gigantic Years (Continued from Page 3, Column \)

the men. The war was on and the Red Devils with Baker leading were out for their quotas. We gave nearly as many warnings to the class of '50 as Dean Nelson gave to the Class of '49.

Activities Day we sailed into the fray and '50's candidates for Mys-kania grew, as did our treasury. Then came Campus Day and we printed '49 on the cup once more— with only two more banner hunts ahead. Fifty gave us a tough fight in football and hockey, while we saved our strength for pushball.

At the Soph banquet we gathered enough spirits and cheer to bring a circus to State a month later. And what a big-8 that was !!! Remem­ber, that was the night that Wilcox brought Broadway to Page.

We marched into Moving-Up Day with Lisker as our president. (We took elections as well as banner hunts in our stride.) This was the climax of our days in rivalry and we came in victorious, with two cups to our credit.

With rivalry behind us we are settling down, but not to oblivion, for it is our job to initiate our green sisters and brothers.

Now we are out for another vic­tory—this time to prove that Junior Week-end can still be a tradition.

Dr. Watt Stewart, Professor of So­cial studies, was recently made a member of the Albany Council Against Discrimination.

Miss Frances Bourgeois has been appointed to fill the vacancy left as the result of the resignation of Mrs. Elaine Forsythe Cook, Assistant Pro­fessor of Social Studies. Miss Bour­geois is a graduate of State.

February 11 Paul G. Bulger, Coordinator of Field Services and Public Relations, will attend a meet­ing of the Onondaga County School Board Association at which time he will give an address on the "Person­nel Problems of Boards of Educa­tion". On February 19 and 20 Mr. Bulger will speak to the American Association of Teachers Colleges in Atlantic City on the topic of "Pub­lic Relations."

Warren Walker has been appoint­ed to replace Mrs. Rebecca Lukens, who has resigned her position as Instructor of English. Mr. Walker has recently completed work on his master's degree at State.

Dr. Floyd E. Henrickson, Assistant Professor of Education, will attend a meeting of the American Asso­ciation of School Administration in Atlantic City on February 24 at which time he will take part in a panel discussion on Audio-Visual Education.

Postpone Senior Banquet

According to Francis Mullln, Pres­ident of the Class of '48, the Senior Banquet nas been postponed from February 7 to May 1.

Further announcements regarding definite arrangements will be made at a future date.

Schedule Week For Observation Of Brotherhood

National Brotherhood Week, Feb­ruary 14 to 21, will be observed by Inter-Group Council, Hillel and Stu­dent Christian Association at State College.

Robert Freyer and Wf"~ u-bleton, Sophomores, arc c ur-men of the committee hi charge. Reno S. Knouse, Professor of Mer­chandising, faculty advisor, and member of the National Conference of Christians and Jews, is working with the committee.

Films in the Lounge, bulletin board displays, and literature made available in the halls will be part of the effort to help prepare the teacher to use tactics, strategies, and methods applicable to the class­room. Material will be offered which can be used in teaching as a tool to better classroom relations, accord­ing to the chairmen.

Elect Wayne President Of Pi Gamma Mu

At a recent meeting of Pi Gamma Mu, Marvin Wayne '49, was elected president to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Marion Han­cock, January graduate.

Following the business meeting Dr. Watt Stewart, Professor of Social Studies, presented an account of his travels through the Southwestern United States. Dr. Stewart illus­trated his talk by showing several slides winch he recer :y took of the Navajo country and Lie surrounding area.

Tlie next meeting, February 2G, at 9:00 p.m. in the Lounge, will feature a movie on Greece followed by an open discussion on the Greek ques­tion according to an announcement made by Kussel Bailey '48. All State College students are invited to at­tend.

By BROPHY and SEAMAN

This week we Junior members of the Sports Staff of your NEWS wish to speak our piece on a few of the sports activities here at State. Therefore, with pen In hand (or ra-

. the -•!• writer in tow) we set forth our ,.^U opinions as follows:

The .arsity bowlers have quietly and inauspiciously rolled themselves Into top brackets in the Inter-colle­giate bowling league. The aggres­sive squad refused to let a poor start in league competition throw them off their game, and have moved Into the league first division by steady bowling and an even bet­ter spirit. Wednesday evening is their bowling night, beginning at 9 o'clock. Any night you would like to see the State team in action drop in at the Playdium. Coming Attraction

The Varsity basketball squad sees its first post-exam action tomor­row night as they meet the Oswego Teachers there. With three wins in their first seven games, the squad could round out a successful season by taking the remaining seven games.

Let's all get behind the team! Heard that line before? Well, it's worth repeating. The squad is do­ing its part, let'»s do ours. Tentative plans are being made to charter a bus for the North Adams-State game in March. It promises to be a good game and one that you won't want to miss. Our suggestion is that you start saving those pennies and reserve Sat. March 5th for the trip. Watch the bulletin board and this column for further details.

While we are on the subject of team support, we want to put in a plug for all those loyal fans that have done such a terrific job of backing the team thus far. The cheerleaders report that the cheer­ing this year has been right up to par. And since this is Junior issue we can't help but mention the hit the '49 Fight Song has made at the games so far. More About '49

Speaking of '49 naturally leads us to multi other athletic data about that Clo.s.s. Remember when they came to State? They took the Cam­pus Day events without nn effort from the Class of '48, and who can forget the push-ball game last year when the '49ers fought their way to a bloody victory? Or the girls' basketball triumph and the fellow's softball victory.

We could ramble on for the length of this column about, the laurels of the Class of '49, but since we are determined bo bring to light as many sports as possible, we move on to other things. Itisa and Data

Things we'd like to see around State . . . more of Jhn Cole's fancy bull handling . . . skating parties in Washington park . . . ski trips . . . Varsity basketball wins . . . bowlers like Fran Mullln . . . more co-eds using the ping-pong table . . . fel­lows out lor lntra-murnl sports . . . roller skating parties . . more Junior Issues . . . aggressive btusketballers like Walt Schick unci Ken George . . . Jayvee victories . . . life \\\ Var­sity game rets . . . joint MAA-WAA activities . . . less griping about In-tra-niurnl rets . . . more "dead-eyes" like Qiilnn, Jlusto, Tilden and Malisaewskl . . . and, Incidentally, more Spurts Editors like Paula Tichy.

W A A Plans Junior Weekend wmm Winter Sports

In connection with the Junior Weekend, WAA will conduct their annual winter carnival this week­end. Activities will commence with a figurine contest tomorrow morn­ing. The afternoon will feature skating, skiing and tobaggoning. Group houses have been invited to enter the figurine contest which will close at 2:00 p. m. when Ear-line Thompson '50, chairman of WAA winter sports, and members of WAA Council, the judges of the contest, will make their rounds.

Last year Farrell House won first prize with a penguin and ig­loo exhibit. Gamma Kappa Phi was second and Kappa Delta Rho third.

After the morning events on Page Hall Field all winter enthusiasts may adjourn to Washington Park for the sports of pond (frozen) and slope. The feature event of the day will be an athletic struggle between the sophomores and the class of '51. This tilt will be entirely in keeping with the spirit of the sea­son.

Last year WAA held an entire weekend which began on Friday evening with a sleighrlde and an informal dance in the Commons. On Staurday Washington Park was the scene for the traditional win­ter snow sports following the morn­ing contest on Page Hall Field. In the evening formalized couples at­tended the "Snowball," an elabor­ately decornted affair with a snow­man in tlie middle and Marty Bort-nick, '49', crowned "King of Win­ter."

This year the college calendar was too crowded for the presen­tation of two long weekends. There­fore WAA is combining their tal­ents with those of the Junior Class by taking over the sports side for the occasion.

J.V. s vs. Siena Tuesday Night

With two wins and two losses to their credit since vacation, the State J. V.s encounter the Siena. Frosh Tuesday night at the Armory. This will be the second meeting of the two teams, Siena having cop­ped the nod, (57-41 in the first game.

Varsity Cagers Go Into Action; Meet Oswego

State endeavors to return to the win column when they engage Os­wego State Teachers tomorrow at Oswego. The Varsity will be gun­ning for their fourth win, with a record to date of three wins in sever, games.

Oswego was victorious in both games with State last year. The first game could have gone either way, State on the short end of a 51-49 score. The second game was not as close, Oswego copping the game by a 53-37 score.

January 10th saw State drop a 88-44 decision to Hamilton. Minus two players, the team was not at full strength. Also, the game was played immediately on arrival, with no chance to rest up after the trip. "Sy" Fersh paced the State scoring with seven buckets and three free throws for a seventeen point total.
