Seniors to Have Annual Banquet

Class Makes Plans to Honor Late College President;

Hop Successful Arrangements are rapidly being

shaped up for the traditional senior fall banquet which will be conduct­ed on Tuesday evening. November 31, according to Walter Harper, '40, president.

This is the first of two annual banquets conducted by the seniors. The first takes place in the fall and the second is conducted in the spring before Moving-up day.

The committee which had been drawn up to investigate the feasi­bility of purchasing a memorial plaque in honor of the late Dr. Abram Brubacher has not reached a definite decision as to whether it would be more advisable to ask the support of the entire student body or to confine the memorial sub­scription to the class of 1940.

"The experiment which we recent­ly tried out, namely, the hiring of a good band not in the 'big name' classification has proved very suc­cessful for our Senior Hop," was all Harper had to say about the hop.

Vaudeville Makes the Headlines To Introduce Unique Tradition

by Edwin Holstein If any outsider chanced to drop

into the Activities office on No­vember 1, he would have undoubt­edly noticed an unusual air of "hushed" expectancy on the part or the sophomore reporters. Al­though they worked hard, it was not with their habitual jollity and good cheer. They labored over "heads" and such with a look of grim, "do or die," determination on their faces; for on that evening they made their thesplan debut.; In short, they "thesped."

The NBWS board said they wanted it and they got it—everything from the mouth organ a la Ingoglia and Trumbull's homicide of Dan Mc-Gee to the conventional amateur hour and "punny" skit—ha-ha!? This, incidentally, won the ball and jacks—first prize.

"What does all this mean?" you

say. It means that a new spirit has been born in the journalistic circles of NYSCT. The pen has been swapped for the "treaded boards." The NEWS of the future may be published orally in the student assembly — with feeling and gestures. What an innovation!! Think of it. Soon we may see a poster reading: The NBWS spon­sored by Advanced Dramatics will present "Printer's Ink and Paper," in three blots, or, "The NBWS and Statesman will have a competitive talent show in the Assembly soon."

You think this is radical and impossible—not at all. This jour­nalistic vaudeville show has set up a tradition; and traditions grow like moss on the left hand side of a tree facing east. Did not some­body once say "From little ideas big things do come"?

Newman Club to Have Sports Dance Friday

Newman club will sponsor a sports dance as one of its annual affairs In the Commons of Hawley hall Friday night from 9.00 until 12:00 o'clock. The price is fifty cents per couple or thirty-five cents stag.

Enes Novelli, '41, general chair­man, says that "girls and boys shouldn't be afraid to come stag be­cause variety will be the spice of the party." There will be square-dancing, and jitterbugging.

The committees for the dance are: tickets, Mary Gabriel, '40; refresh­ments, Michael Gross, '42; chaper-ones, Mildred Swain, '42.

Students to Attend Inter Faith Meeting

The second annual Inter Faith conference for Jewish and Protes­tant Christian young people will be Sunday at the First Presbyterian church (next to Russell Sage) in Troy. The theme of the conference will be "The Effect of the Present World Crisis on American Youth." The principal speaker will be Rev. William E. Montgomery, D.D., pas­tor of the First Presbyterian church in Glens Falls.

The plan for such a conference was made early last spring by Rabbi Joel S. Geffen of the Temple Bethel and Rev. William J. Clark of the First Presbyterian church in Water-vllet. Approximately 500 young people attended the first confer­ence which was conducted in the Temple Bethel last spring.

Students of the colleges Capital district vited to attend.

'King Swing' Will Reign At Lunch Session Soon Jitterbugs will have a chance

to really go to town Wednesday, November 29. At that time the noon-day dance period will be given over to thirty-five min­utes of the hottest swing ever to blast forth from the vie Sweet music, the bane of the jive devotees, will be cast to the winds in order to present the first all-swing noon-time pro­gram.

This mid-day innovation is purely experimental, and, if it is well received, will be repeated at frequent intervals. To ap­pease sweet music lovers, an all-sweet program is under consid­eration.

Statesman to Make Debut Before Recess

Annual Red Cross Campaign Under New Service Group

Pedagogue Staff (o Adopt Unusual "Make-up" Policy

This ,\ear the Service fraternity will take charge of the annual Red Cross drive al State college accord­ing to Richard Piatt, '40, president. The new .service fraternity is co­operating with the dean of stu­dent \s office lo make this year's drive a success. The campaign will take place Monday and Tuesday.

T h a n k s g i v i n g Recess The college will recess for

Thanksgiving vacation from Wednesday noon, November 22, until 8:10 o'clock the following-Monday morning, November 27.

The new State college publication, | the Statesman, will be in the hands of State readers before the Thanks-

! giving recess. The members of ! the staff of the magazine are quite 1 reticent about divulging the eon-I tents of the issue, since they wish I it to be somewhat of a surprise. . They say, however, that it will re­semble neither of iis predeces­sors, the Lion and the Echo, It will contain more cuts, more ma­terial, more contributors, and will be printed in a manner not yet seen at State.

"The Pedagogue, the State col­lege year book, will be better than j ever before," said Marie Metz, '40,1 editor-in-chief, Tuesday.

The theme this year will be a | most unusual one. involving the use of color, an innovation in year book make-up. The coming issue will Lave twenty more pages than last year. Because of the origin­ality of the theme, Miss Metz is planning to enter the book in na­tional year book competition.

"I Enjoyed Writing Latest Book"-Dr. Thompson

lings To Turn On Heal it Dance In Commons

Hey guys, hey gals, burrow your old sport clothes out of the attic and moth-balls and head for the Commons! Slip on your brown saddles and other Jitterbug ac­coutrements. Fellows, grab a horse, mule or woman! For to­night, all roads lead to Newman club's first blow-out, their Sport's Dance, in file Commons from 0:00 to 12:00 o'clock. Art Card-ney Willi his King's Cadets will do his best to keep the writhing bugs in time with rhythm and syncopation, both sweet and hot.

The udmislson will be thirty-five cents stag and fifty cents per couple, The committees for the dance are the following: Mary Gabriel, '40, tickets; Mi­chael Gross, '42, refreshments; Mildred Swain, '42, chaperones.

by Herman Kleine "Harold W Thompson was born

to write Body, Boots anil Britches," said a recent issue of the Library Boohs Nctos,

Dr. Thompson, professor of Eng­lish at State and author of the new book, had this to say:

"1 enjoyed writing my latest book because my students helped mo with it. It was they who provided mu with material from practically every county in the state.

"Through Body, Boots and Brit­ches I hope to prove that history can best be taught through the songs and folklore of the people, rather than through such data us who was governor when. It was nol very long ago when the only forms of journalism were poetry and song."

For more than a century, Dr. j Thompson's Scotch-Irish family I have made their homes in Chau­tauqua county, the far west of New York state.

The young Harold Thompson fol­lowed family tradition by attending Hamilton college. He was gradu­ated from there us valedictorian of the centennial class. He became a member of SOT's faculty di­rectly after earning his A.M. and Ph.D. at Harvard l» lOlfi. Except for periods of study abroad, he

has never left State. He has re­fused all invitations to loach else­where except in the Cornell sum­mer sessions.

It was ut Cornell that Dr. Thomp­son first learned why students en­rolled with such apparent enthu­siasm in his lectures.

At the close of a course in Am­erican Literature, a pre-med stu­dent confessed to his professor, "Dr. Thompson, I took your course because you talk loud enough so that I can hear you, even though I can'l always understand you."

Dr. Thompson was one of the first fifteen Fellows of the Gug­genheim foundation. In recent years lie was awarded a grunt from the Rockefeller foundation.

For further information on the life of tills Slate college faculty member, I refer you to "Who's Who in America."

Five years after coming to State, Dr. Thompson had u chance to be active in the field of his favorite hobby, inuslc. He re-organized the music department in 1020 and headed it for four yours until he was succeeded by his close friend, Dr. Thomas F. H. Candlyn.

"Being professor of English," Dr. Thompson commented on his full-time job, "is just like any other job. People don't realize how much time it does demand,

"For example, I can't consider my job well done unless I personally have conferred with each of my 300 students. Keeping up with cur­rent books consumes much of my time. The remaining time I en­joy using in personal research.* >

Music council will inaugurate this year's series of presentations when they again bring the world-famous Don Cossack Chorus to the Page hall auditorium Tuesday evening, December 5, at 8:00 o'clock. Serge Jaroff. the noted conductor, will lead the group again this year,

Extensive Record The Cossacks are now In their

sixteenth year as a choral organ­ization and have appeared in every country of Europe and other con­tinents. To date they have pre­sented more than 1,800 consecutive concerts—a record which no other choral organization has equalled.

The program offered by the Cos­sacks is a colorful collection of the songs of the Russian "old days." As hi the past the program will be divided into three groups so that those attending may enjoy the se­lections more fully. Lightly-sung church music, quaint, dreary folk­songs, and rousing military arrange­ments accompanied by the cus­tomary cheers, calls, and barbaric dancing, will complete the evening program. The Cossacks, although an entirely male chorus, achieve re­markable effects with voices beau­tifully blending in complete scale arrangements.

Colorful Background The Don Cossacks are the sole

survivors of the famed "Eleventh Lost Tribe," which was almost com­pletely snuffed out in the last World War. The Cossack background is prevalent throughout the program in fiery crescendo, and softly di­minishing reminiscences.

Curiously enough, the entire chorus are magnificent specimens of powerful physique, while the con­ductor is contrastingly small, but siipei'humanly possessed of capable, energetic leadership.

The formation of this group dates back to the days of the World War when they were confined together in an enemy prison camp. After their release they turned to the United States for security but as yet are not citizens of this country. The various touches of nostalgia have been put into song and are now an essential feature of the pro­grams.

Student tax tickets may be ex­changed for Music council admis­sions. Those who are not members of the Student association may se­cure tickets for one dollar and a quarter at the table set up for this purpose.

! Frosh, Sophs to Sing Before Student Body

Today's assembly will feature the traditional inter-eluss rivalry sing between the freshmen and sopho­mores. Both classes will sing the Alma Muter, followed by a song to themselves, a nong to the other class, and an original Alma Mater. According to inter-class rivalry rules, the event will bo judged on the singing of the original Alma Muter. Three points will bo award­ed the winning class. Judges will be three members of the faculty.

Leonard Kowalsky, editor-in-chief of tlie STATU COLLKOK NBWM and mem­ber of Myskania, senior campus leadership society, will introduce a motion to abolish tlie office of class reporter, and to create, in its stead,

, the office of publicity director, to take charge of all class publicity.

J SCA to Conduct Worship Thanksgiving meditation will be

observed by Student Christian as­sociation on Tuesday at noon in the Unitarian chapel. All State college students are invited to at­tend.

Welcome, Statesman Next week before the Thanksgiving recess com­

mences, State's newest publication, the Statesman, will make its first appearance. The editors promise that their magazine, the result of the consolida­tion of the Lion and Echo, will offer something totally unprecedented in campus publications.

The Echo had its birth in 1892 when a month­ly, the Normal College Echo, was issued under the sponsorship of an interested group of students. This was the first student publication to appear on our campus, and contained humorous and liter­ary writing as well as a news story. A successful venture, it continued until 1918 when it became known as the State College Quarterly. Eleven years later in 1929 the Echo appeared in the form as we knew it last year.

The Lion, although shorter-lived, had a more interesting biography. It appeared as a mere cub in 1924 as a privately-financed publication spon­sored by three undergraduates who felt the campus needed a real humor magazine. Well received by the students, its development was curbed in 1926 when the ire of the administration was aroused be­cause the magazine exceeded the bounds of de­cency. Nevertheless, the Lion flourished, and in 1928 the Student association saw fit to include it under the Student association budget.

The student assembly of May 26, 1939, wit­nessed the death of these two publications which culminated the pro and con discussion over con­solidation for several years. Soon its successor will make its initial appearance, and a new era in State's literary circles will commence.

To you, Statesman board, we extend most sin­cere wishes for success and prosperity both in your first venture and in issues to come.

On Respecting Property It has been called to the attention of the NEWS

that chairs are being constantly damaged in the Commons by vandalic students. May we remind these destructive individuals that this furniture is college properly, not that of the Student associa­tion, and should be treated as such?

This disgusting carelessness on the part of these persons shows in them a lack of desirable char­acter traits so necessary In a good teacher. One of the tasks of Lhe teacher is to instill in the pupil a concept of good citizenship, Hut how can one do this if he himself can not act as a desirable citizen in the college community?

What with the present maintenance budget cut, the replacement of broken chairs is unlikely. If the rate of damage continues, a "Standing Room Only" sign on the Commons door will not be an unfamiliar sight.

HERE ARE FOUR TYPES of tobaccos found in the more popular cigarettes, namely... Bright, Maryland, Bur ley and Turkish.

A L L TLIESE TOBACCOS except Turkish (which is bought direct from the planters in Turkey and Greece) and Maryland (which is bought through sealed bids under government supervision) are bought at public auction, just like any other auction where you might have bought in a table or a chair.

A T T H E A U C T I O N SALE the tobacco is piled in baskets weighing from about 100 to 500 pounds and each purchaser buys all of his tobaccos by competitive bidding for the particular piles he wants.

T H E CH ESTERFIELD BUYERS buy the best of these mild ripe tobaccos for the Chesterfield blend. And it is Chesterfield's Combination... the right amounts of Burley and B r i g h t . . . just enough Maryland . . . and just enough Turkish—that makes the big difference between Chesterfield and other cigarettes.

I T IS BECAUSE of this combination that Chesterfields are COOLER, have a BETTER TASTE and are DEFINITELY MILDER. They are made of the world's best cigarette tobaccos. You can't buy a better cigarette. v

Colorful Background The Don Cossacks, the last su r ­

vivors of the famed Eleventh Lost Tribe, which was wiped out in t he last World War, formed their o rgan­ization in a prison camp near Con­stant inople. Exiled forever, with "En Voyage" wri t ten on their League of Nations passports, these men pour into song all their hope­less longing for their homeland.

The Don Cossacks are the voice of Mother Russia; in their p r e ­sentation of Russian sacred music is revealed the exul tan t religious fer­vor of the Russian, in their singing of the haun t ing folk songs, t he dreary lcneliness of the peasant , a n d in their wild war songs, accompa­nied by riotous shouts and frenzied dancing, the barbaric spirit of t he

Delegates Hear Rienow Speak At College Debate Conference

"United Sta tes is a t war — an economic war. If we withdraw, we admit defeat and such a defeat will cost us our military proficiency. At present we are a t war with Ger­many in every way except military and the same si tuat ion threatens to appear with J a p a n in the near fu­ture." Thus spoke Dr. Rienow, as­sistant professor of social studies, at an intercollegiate debate confer­ence a t which six colleges were rep- ; resented Tuesday.

Over fifty delegates from Siena, St, Rose, Rensselaer Polytechnic j Inst i tute , Union, Skidmore, and Sta te college were present at the j meeting. Dr. Rienow's topic, "The Legal Aspect of Neutrality," was fol­lowed by an open question period in which the audience participated.

About thir ty delegates and five faculty members a t tended the open­ing luncheon in the cafeteria, par­taking of hot turkey sandwiches and pie a la mode.

The meeting followed a similar conference a t Colgate on November 8 a t which Dr. Wilson was the main speaker. The purpose was to gain

some background for the topic which will be used in most intercollegiate debates this year, "Resolved: t ha t the United S ta tes shall follow a policy of str ict military and econ­omic isolation toward all nat ions outside the western hemisphere in­volved in Internat ional or civil con­flict."

Dr. Rienow outlined his views on the topic and then offered three policies which we could add to what lie termed our present "half policy" in order tha t we may stay out of war. The three methods he pro­posed were complete isolation, co­operation of neutral nat ions all over the world, or cooperation of n a ­tions in tlie Western hemisphere with the exception of Canada , a l ­ready engaged in war.

During the question period tha t followed, David Kreher a t tempted to show some posters on peace but the concensus of opinion was tha t he was unsuccessful.

State college has scheduled about twenty-five debates this year. The season will open with a debate with St. Lawrence univers i ty on Wed­nesday. I
