PAGE 6 STATE COLLEGE NEWS, FRIDAY, APRIL 17,194t Eight Bill CARL MITCHELL In keeping with the trend of sports curtailment in American colleges comes the announcement that MAA has decided to abolish freshman basketball when next year rolls around. This does not necessarily mean that the frosh will not be able to participate in basketball, but that MAA will not give the sport its financial support due to the de- creased male enrollment expected. However, just as we predicted a short time ago, there Is a great possibility that freshmen will have to be used on the varsity outfit in order to pull the team up to full collegiate strength. An interview with Coach G. Eliot Hatfield reveals that, if necessry, he will use any freshman who comes up to varsity standards. This un- precedented step is actuated by the fact that other colleges are follow- ing similar measures, Page Basketball It's regretable that many of the present sports fans will not be around next year to see State's basketeers go into action with some of the finest competition available. Due to the efforts of Coach Hat- field over a period of years, State has at last carded a game with the Union College Dutchmen. In the past the Schenectadians have been reluctant to engage in sports with State. Another extra-special feature of the basketball schedule is the in- augural of basketball games with an- other Metropolitan quintet. Cooper- Union, a New York Technical col- lege will stop-over for a game with State on its Northern tour. Cooper- Union is a highly rated outfit. Bull Session Sports While carrying on an informal discussion with some of State's wide- awake National League followers the following took place: "The Dodgers would stand a better chance in their opening games if those three men were not suspended for 'conduct unbecom- ing to Dodgers'." Said the pert little girl nearby, "What did they do—tip their hats to a lady?" The payoff in reality comes with the following story, which has been checked and found authenticated: A girl from Rider College was invited to attend Soiree. When she arrived at Union Station she could not And her man. When she called up his fraternity, the lad on the phone gave directions to take a taxi to their house, and then added as an afterthought— "better bring a baseball bat to beat off the wolves." Snow Delays Start Of Softball League Due to Sophomore Soiree's snow- storm last weekend, the start of In- tramural softball has been post- poned until next Monday, April 20, This Is one week ahead of last year's opening day Regis Hammond and BUI Mars- land are in charge of the league. They have arranged a 28-game schedule for the eight teams com- posing the league. Each team will play against each of the others once. Permission has been given to use the diamond In front of Page Hall. Hammond has announced that "as things are planned now, we will play at least three afternoons of the week—more If possible, The first game will begin at 4:30 and the second at 6:30 P.M, Pinal ar- rangements will be completed by Monday."

Netmen to Open Season Thursday Brauner Will Cut Squad To Six Men Tomorrow The first match of the season for the tennis squad will take place Thursday against Plattsburg Normal School at Ridgefleld Park. Captain Hank Brauner feels that the State men available will provide adequate competition for the invaders. With the recent improvement of weather conditions, the tennis team has taken to the Ridgefleld courts for its practice sessions during the past week. The three certain berths are occu- pied by Brauner and Harry Kensky, the only veterans who have re- turned; and Fran Mullin, the fresh- man who showed up so well in last fall's frosh tournament. After Hank has selected the other three team men, a ladder will, be drawn up, which includes those who did not get a berth. The top six men on this ladder will compose the team. The others may move up by defeating the man above; and may even work up to a team position. Men who do not have a ladder posi- tion may gain one by beating one of those In one of the lower rungs. Siena Loses to State s Bowlers State's intramural bowling champs added another feather to their re- spective caps by defeating Siena College last Wednesday, 2372 to 2262. This win avenges the defeat suffered at Siena's hands earlier in the sea- son. The match was rolled on Schade's alleys. James Gillan was the hot man of the afternoon, smashing the pins for a 224 high single. He also garnered the high total honors with a neat 541. He was closely pressed by Fran Mullin who toppled 520 pins for his triple. Top scores for the opposition were earned by R. Sherwood, who piled up a grand total of 489 pins, including a 177 single.

So said somebody (Shelley, I am told), but what hap- pens when winter comes and goes, but comes back again? However, optimistic WAA has crossed its fingers, said a few prayers for cooperation from the gods in charge of the weather, and has In- augurated its spring sports season. As Shirley says, "physical fitness is our aim"—"our" referring to the femmes of State, and the country as well. The bill of activities offered to the local gals includes softball, bad- minton, archery, golf, swimming, riding and tennis. Congrats, Dorm A! A little belatedly, this column of- fers its congratulations to the un- defeated Dorm A team, which gar- nered a silver cup and the WAA championship. Last year this team was a leading contender for a first place tie with the champs, Dorm B, but through a misunderstanding showed up for its last game forty- five minutes late. This tardiness caused a forfeit to their rivals. However, their unbeaten campaign this year has certainly made up for it. Congratulations I More Felicitations As a contrast to the lukewarm reception to bowling last year, the recent bowling tourney swept the college. Psi Gamma won a beautiful new trophy as a reward for showing its superiority in the highly con- tested matches In the Inter-house Bowling League. Congratulation go to the team as a whole and the Individual members for their taking the individual honors as well.

WAA Inaugurates Spring Sports Season The warm weather of the past week has opened the spring program of the Women's Athletic Associa- tion with a bang. Softball is played In the rear of Hawley library every Monday, Wed- nesday and Friday at 3:30; Sylvia Tefft and Leah Tischler are in charge. The badminton "birdie" is sent over the net every Tuesday and Thursday at 3:30. Kay Devlne Is cap- tain. On the other side of the cam- pus Hannelore Schoen leads the ar- chery contingents at the same hour. Riding enthusiasts can meet with June Clark each Saturday morning to jog along the trails off Western Avenue. Miss Johnston Is planning to teach golf stroking and techniques but no hours have boon set aside. Osnlf Serablan says that the time for swimming Is optional. Tennis will begin as soon as the Washing- ton Park courts open. *ustave Lorey ^ tudio STATE'S OFFICIAL PHOTOGRAPHER KIMMEY'S BREAD HOLSUM (White Bred) KLEEN MAID WHEAT HOLSUM CRACKED WHEAT (Delicious Toasted) J, h. KIMMEY BAKERY Albany, N. Y. War Reduces Men's Athletics; Emphasis On W A A Sports by Ray Verrey The war and the draft are steadily taking their toll. Men's athletics In State College are bound to take a sharp drop next year, due to the lack of men, and if the war con- tinues, they will be severely ham- pered for the duration. Some of our basketball competi- tors, Clarkson, RPI, Brooklyn Poly, and Pratt, will not suffer a lack of athletes because of the draft since their technical courses exempt their students from the draft until they finish college. Next year Coach Hatfield will have to draw from intramural squads In order to fill out varsity basketball berths On the other hand, the war has stressed the need of sports for stronger and healthier bodies which should prove a boom for Intramural activity Though not many athletes — or men for that matter—are expected in next year's freshman class, the intramural program should be ex- panded in order to keep State's men active in sports. This is a serious problem facing intramural council and MAA. Men's athletics must undergo a change for the duration. As physical education men are be- ing taken into the service, there is an acute shortage of coaches and physical instructors in high schools. Couldn't State revive a "Theory of Coaching" course In order to pre- pare prospective teachers for coach- ing jobs? It was done in State College in 1918, why not now? by Shirley Wura Maybe it's the decrease in the male population of State College which gives the girls more time for sports or maybe it's just the increas- ing interest of American women in physical fitness—but the list of those in WAA is growing day by day. While MAA is facing the problem of decreased membership, WAA faces that of increased responsi- bility. As Anna Cattuti says, "with fewer parlor games, the girls will have to turn to outdoor sports for recreation." Physical fitness, Important at any time, is especially Important in war time. Every girl who Isn't active in WAA isn't necessarily a physical wreck but those who are active in WAA are for the most part in bet- ter shape. (No cracks, please.) Alice Marble, National Director of Physical Education, is in favor of a program of active sports for every woman in the United States. This is the part that WAA must play in our national emergency. Every girl at state should participate In at least one sport. WAA offers a va- ried program which should appeal to every feminine fan. What a place State will be—with feminine Amazons bouncing health- ily around the institution. After all, many of our girls will lose their main extra-curricular activity when the men go marching away. And their interests might better turn to archery and badminton than to "sit- ting under the apple tree with somebody else." GEORGE D. JEONEY. PROP.

NO. f S '•*&• Committee Plans Aviation Classes For State, Milne Five Members Attend Conference at Syracuse Dr. John M. Sayles, President of thp College, has appointed a faculty committee for the purpose of Infus- ing aviation consciousness into the curriculum of State College and the Milne High School. Dr. Robert W. Frederick, Principal of Milne, is chairman of the committee; Dr. D. V. Smith, Professor of Social Studies, Dr. Ralph G. Clausen, Assistant Pro- fessor of Science, Dr, Carleton A. Moose, Assistant Professor and Supervisor in Science, and Mr. George M. York, Professor of Com- merce, are committee members. The committee met Wednesday morning to plan an "air-minded" program. Dr. Frederick outlined the points taken up at the meeting: (1) Get all the available books in the field and place them in the school libraries; (2) Method of in- fusing aviation consciousness into each course; (3) Problems of more specific new courses which will be taken up later. The five committee members at- tended a conference at Syracuse University on Saturday. Five rep- resentatives from each teacher- training institution in New York State met to discuss the place of aviation in the modern world and its implications for teacher educa- tion. Dr. Orton, head of Stockton College in California, delivered the keynote address. He stressed the fact that the present war will be won in the air, and that secondary (Continued on i)(ige l h column 2) Forum to Elect Officers Tuesday At the Forum meeting planned for Tuesday at 3:30, many lines of busi- ness are in order. First of all elec- tions for the positions of speaker, clerk and treasurer will be held. However, for those who cannot at- tend the meeting, a table will be set up in the lower hall of Draper to enable them bo vote. After the elections have been dis- pensed with, the Forum group will break up into three sections: one section to discuss whether or not the United States can take the offensive in the war; another to discuss charges of Inefficiency and waste hi the Federal government; and a third to discuss the war legislation before Congress. The Forum also plans to draw up a list of all those former State Col- lege students who are In the service of the country, in the army, navy, marines, etc., and to mail to those former students papers and maga- zines telling them what is going on at State College. Since this Is the fifth year of the Forum at State, a committee will be organized to evaluate the work done by tho Forum In its five years of existence. The plan for the Forum was originated by Dr. Robert Rlenow to supplement tho work done In his Political Science classes. 'Victory Savins' Theme For Intersorority Ball Tho sororities of State College are collaborating on their annual ball, to be held at the Auranla Club, May 1, from 10 P. M. to 2 A, M, This year's dance will emphasize the importance of the "Saving for Vic- tory." There are to be absolutely no corsages—couples will stop at the Navy Relief Fund table at the door where a pin may be purchased for not less than $1.25. Freddy Gray with his ten-piece band and vocalist will do the musical honors of the evening. Pirates Success; Songs Outrank Dramatic Efforts By Bernard Perlman Despite the Information in the program, last night's performance did not begin until Jean McAllister made her first appearance upon the stage. Both the singer and acting lacked conviction and motion, albeit the motley costumes of the pirate chorus and virginal maidens pre- sented interesting tableaux at times. As a whole, the singing of the evening, both solo and chorus parts, was of an exceptional nature, al- though the opening was too tame for a pirate band. It wasn't until the second act that Max Reeves found his voice, but Jean McAllister was surer of herself than ever before. The stage business of her first solo, Poor Wandering One, demonstrated immediately that she had matured measurably in control of her voice and manners. The talented If some- what gawky sensation of last year's Pinafore is now a seasoned trouper, having full command of any part she essays. Brooks Roberts, as the pirate chieftain, acted most authentically, as did Ruth, the bane of the pirates' lives. However, their contributions were antithetical, Roberts acting the part and singing as best he could, with Schlesinger doing a good job on the music. Kunz' entrance was Impatiently awaited and right roy- ally received—and rightly so. There was a flavor and style to George's performance as the Major-General which did much toward providing the operetta with the drive and verve so characteristic of Gilbert and Sullivan. Dingman's comic efforts were pre- sented so sparingly as to leave the audience desiring still more. Except for an understandable reluctance in the opening numbers, the chorus did a uniformly excellent job throughout the evening, emphasizing however, that for this first night at least, the singing on everybody's part quite outshone the acting. Too often, Dr. Candlyn and the student directors, in this case, Hirsh and Lee, have had their contributions slighted. Last night's performance, by its cohesion, pace, and musical excel- lence, was good evidence of the con- siderable talents of the triumvirate in command. Sororities Choose Incoming Officers Sorority calendars now feature election news. Beta Zeta, Phi Delta, Chi Sigma Theta, and Kappa Delta recently completed their elections.

We must make sure that our money is being spent the way we want it to be spent. By instituting a uniform set of books we have gone a long way toward cleaning out our financial cellar; now we must finish the project by seeing that the right amount of money goes into those books. Last year Student Association was hoodwinked into passing an oversized budget. This year the State College NEWS is making every effort to see that this does not reoccur. This time there can be no itemized budgets left at home. There can be no evasion of the issue. The entire assembly must take it upon itself to know the fact and to act with justice toward itself. It is time that the students of this college became aware of the fact that they hold the power of allocation of Student Association funds. Last year the budget in many cases was "liberal" to say the least. Budgets were padded and passed because the students had little time in which to discuss the budget and little information on which to base their discus- sion. This year there is no excuse for the mistake of last year. Today in its regular editorial column, the NEWS has printed the tentative itemized budgets of all the major activities. Thus you have all the information in front of you. Two Association meetings are being devoted to budget hearings. As you will notice when you examine the budgets on page two, there has been a definite effort on the part of most organizations to cut their requests. However, the NEWS feels that some organizations have not cooperated in this effort. It is the task of today's meeting to ferret out these organizations and items, and to cut or eliminate them. It must be understood that what the Association says today can only carry the powers of recommendation, but the organization that will not weigh seriously the Association's recommendation in the budget hearings during the coming week is indeed biting the hand which feeds it. Furthermore the organizations which have already cooperated in slashing their appropriation will see to it that the offenders toe the line. It will be noted that several of the items reproduced on page two of the NEWS are set aside with an asterisk. These are items which the NEWS would like explained to the satisfaction of Student Association. State Gets 'Stock' by Fast Sales Talk From War Stamp Backers Aney & Co. Stamp collecting is indeed the latest fad at State College. Investi- gation and observation have shown that this is becoming a favorite student hobby—that is, the collection of war stamps. The sale of war stamps started Inst Monday noon in the lower hall of Draper; already the sales have reached the $47 mark. Trece Aney, '44, super stamp sales- girl and originator of the intensi- fied student drive says, "I think this drive has been successful because many students have been willing to .sacrifice desserts In order to Invest their money in the war stamps. It certainly shows their patriotism." One hundred and fifty have joined the ranks of the stamp collectors; Dorm Will Usher in Spring With Tuxedo-less Formal Don't bother taking your tuxes out of tho moth balls, boys I The Pierce Hall girls are entertaining from 9 P. M. to 1 P. M. tomorrow night, but their annual spring dance Is semi-formal this year. Since old man weather foiled the sophomores, It's up to tho dorm girls to usher in the spring season, and they are planning to do Just that. The theme will be a strictly feminine ono. "No red, white, and blue for a change I" declared Emily Blnlser, '43, chairman of the dance. Pink lights will play on tho faces of the dancers and they are guaranteed to make the girls beautiful—or rather, more beau- tiful. Music for the affair will bo furnished by Charlie Randell, formerly of the Edgewood, who has Just come back from a suc- cessful southern tour. His band handles both sweet and swing exceptionally well. Miss Aney and her cohorts person- ally distribute books for 10 and 25 cent stamps and even "lick" the stamps upon request. Besides this, those who have begun their stamp collecting previous to the drive ini- tiated by the students have added to their albums by patronizing' the little table located in front of the P. O. Miss Aney urges that all students make an attempt to buy nt least one stamp a week. A.D. to Present The Royal Family Advanced Dramatics will present The Royal Family, written by Edna Ferber and George s. Kaufman, on May 15 at 8:30 P, M. In Pago Hall Auditorium. The play, a satire on the Barrymore family, is under tho direction of Agnes E. Futterer, As- sistant Professor of English. Through a system of competitive try-outs, the following cast was chosen: James McFcoley (satirizing John Barrymore), '43, Jane Curtis (portraying Ethel Barrymore), '43, Betty Bardon, '43, Juno Melville, '43, Jack Vose, '44, Kathleen Martin, '43, Morris Gerber, '43, Harold Ash- worth, '44, George Selfert, '42, Janet Wood, '43, Milton Adams, '45, Dan Regan, '45, The part which was to be played by Luke Zilles, '42, will be recast, slnco Zillos was drafted re- cently. The committee chairmen are: House, Dorothy Huyck; Props, Betty Taylor; Costumes, Jane Curtis; Sets, Byron Benton; Bound Effects, Bar- bara Kerlln; Publicity, Barbara Clark, The members of next year's Advanced Dramatics class are help- ing on the committees. Tentative Budget Will be Debated; Cut is Imminent AssemblyHearingResults Will Dictate Cut Policy After two organizational budget hearings in the past two weeks, tentative budgets have been com- piled for all organizations and will be presented to the Student Associa- tion for discussion today. This assembly discussion is the first of two such hearings planned. The instructions which come from Student Association today will be reconsidered by organizations in further hearings in Room 28 of Richardson during the coming week. The revised budgets will then be returned to Student Association for further consideration and possible acceptance. Representatives of extra-curricu- lar activities realized that although the costs of many items in their budgets have risen considerably and although the administration expects an enrollment of only 900 students next year, it would be unwise to raise the student tax tickets higher than $14.00. Somewhere in this budget, $1325 still remains to be cut, unless the Student Association votes to raise the tax to $15. The total amount to be appropriated has been set at $12,600, but the totals of the tenta- tive budget are $13,193.75, Seniors Must Buy College Diplomas Dr. Milton G. Nelson, Dean of the College, recently disclosed arrange- ments made by the administration for the purchase of diplomas and teaching certificates for the Seniors. This \ear the cost for embossing the diplomas amounts to $2.35 per person. This amount will be paid by the students themselves, the money being collected by the Treasurer of ihe Senior Class, Benson Tybrlng. All seniors must pay $2.35 to their treasurer not later than May 15, Also, by state law, each person must pay $3 for a teaching certifi- cate. This must be paid to Mr. Clarence Deyo, Treasurer of the Col- lege, by May i 5 'AII-Columbian'Honors Awarded to NEWS Tho STATE COI.I.KOU NKWB this week was awarded first place In the an- nual newspaper contest sponsored by the Columbian Scholastic Press Association with "All-Columbian" honors for typography and headlines.

• CARL MITCHELL In keeping with the trend of sports

curtailment in American colleges comes the announcement that MAA has decided to abolish freshman basketball when next year rolls around.

This does not necessarily mean that the frosh will not be able to participate in basketball, but that MAA will not give the sport its financial support due to the de­creased male enrollment expected.

However, just as we predicted a short time ago, there Is a great possibility that freshmen will have to be used on the varsity outfit in order to pull the team up to full collegiate strength. An interview with Coach G. Eliot

It's regretable that many of the present sports fans will not be around next year to see State's basketeers go into action with some of the finest competition available.

Due to the efforts of Coach Hat­field over a period of years, State has at last carded a game with the Union College Dutchmen. In the past the Schenectadians have been reluctant to engage in sports with State.

Another extra-special feature of the basketball schedule is the in­augural of basketball games with an­other Metropolitan quintet. Cooper-Union, a New York Technical col­lege will stop-over for a game with State on its Northern tour. Cooper-Union is a highly rated outfit. Bull Session Sports

While carrying on an informal discussion with some of State's wide­awake National League followers the following took place:

"The Dodgers would stand a better chance in their opening games if those three men were not suspended for 'conduct unbecom­ing to Dodgers'."

Said the pert little girl nearby, "What did they do—tip their hats to a lady?" The payoff in reality comes with

the following story, which has been checked and found authenticated:

A girl from Rider College was invited to attend Soiree. When she arrived at Union Station she could not And her man. When she called up his fraternity, the lad on the phone gave directions to take a taxi to their house, and then added as an afterthought— "better bring a baseball bat to beat off the wolves."

storm last weekend, the start of In­tramural softball has been post­poned until next Monday, April 20, This Is one week ahead of last year's opening day

"If winter comes, can spring be far behind." So said somebody (Shelley, I am told), but what hap­pens when winter comes and goes, but comes back again?

However, optimistic WAA has crossed its fingers, said a few prayers for cooperation from the gods in charge of the weather, and has In­augurated its spring sports season. As Shirley says, "physical fitness is our aim"—"our" referring to the femmes of State, and the country as well. The bill of activities offered to the local gals includes softball, bad­minton, archery, golf, swimming, riding and tennis. Congrats, Dorm A!

A little belatedly, this column of­fers its congratulations to the un­defeated Dorm A team, which gar­nered a silver cup and the WAA championship. Last year this team was a leading contender for a first place tie with the champs, Dorm B, but through a misunderstanding showed up for its last game forty-five minutes late. This tardiness caused a forfeit to their rivals. However, their unbeaten campaign this year has certainly made up for it. Congratulations I More Felicitations

As a contrast to the lukewarm reception to bowling last year, the recent bowling tourney swept the college. Psi Gamma won a beautiful new trophy as a reward for showing its superiority in the highly con­tested matches In the Inter-house Bowling League. Congratulation go to the team as a whole and the Individual members for their taking the individual honors as well. Underclassmen Take Note

In a story elsewhere In the paper are the details about signing up for interviews by next year's camp coun­sellors. Sign up now and get your application TODAY.

WAA Inaugurates

Riding enthusiasts can meet with June Clark each Saturday morning to jog along the trails off Western Avenue.

Miss Johnston Is planning to teach golf stroking and techniques but no hours have boon set aside.

Osnlf Serablan says that the time for swimming Is optional. Tennis will begin as soon as the Washing­ton Park courts open.

War Reduces Men's Athletics;

Emphasis On W A A Sports by Ray Verrey

The war and the draft are steadily taking their toll. Men's athletics In State College are bound to take a sharp drop next year, due to the lack of men, and if the war con­tinues, they will be severely ham­pered for the duration.

Some of our basketball competi­tors, Clarkson, RPI, Brooklyn Poly, and Pratt, will not suffer a lack of athletes because of the draft since their technical courses exempt their students from the draft until they finish college.

Next year Coach Hatfield will have to draw from intramural squads In order to fill out varsity basketball berths On the other hand, the war has stressed the need of sports for stronger and healthier bodies which should prove a boom for Intramural activity

Though not many athletes — or men for that matter—are expected in next year's freshman class, the intramural program should be ex­panded in order to keep State's men active in sports.

This is a serious problem facing intramural council and MAA. Men's athletics must undergo a change for the duration.

As physical education men are be­ing taken into the service, there is an acute shortage of coaches and physical instructors in high schools. Couldn't State revive a "Theory of Coaching" course In order to pre­pare prospective teachers for coach­ing jobs? It was done in State College in 1918, why not now?

by Shirley Wura Maybe it's the decrease in the

male population of State College which gives the girls more time for sports or maybe it's just the increas­ing interest of American women in physical fitness—but the list of those in WAA is growing day by day.

While MAA is facing the problem of decreased membership, WAA faces that of increased responsi­bility. As Anna Cattuti says, "with fewer parlor games, the girls will have to turn to outdoor sports for recreation."

Physical fitness, Important at any time, is especially Important in war time. Every girl who Isn't active in WAA isn't necessarily a physical wreck but those who are active in WAA are for the most part in bet­ter shape. (No cracks, please.) Alice Marble, National Director of Physical Education, is in favor of a program of active sports for every woman in the United States. This is the part that WAA must play in our national emergency. Every girl at s tate should participate In at least one sport. WAA offers a va­ried program which should appeal to every feminine fan.

What a place State will be—with feminine Amazons bouncing health­ily around the institution. After all, many of our girls will lose their main extra-curricular activity when the men go marching away. And their interests might better turn to archery and badminton than to "sit­ting under the apple tree with somebody else."

Committee Plans

Aviation Classes

For State, Milne Five Members Attend Conference at Syracuse Dr. John M. Sayles, President of

thp College, has appointed a faculty committee for the purpose of Infus­ing aviation consciousness into the curriculum of State College and the Milne High School. Dr. Robert W. Frederick, Principal of Milne, is chairman of the committee; Dr. D. V. Smith, Professor of Social Studies, Dr. Ralph G. Clausen, Assistant Pro­fessor of Science, Dr, Carleton A. Moose, Assistant Professor and Supervisor in Science, and Mr. George M. York, Professor of Com­merce, are committee members.

The committee met Wednesday morning to plan an "air-minded" program. Dr. Frederick outlined the points taken up at the meeting: (1) Get all the available books in the field and place them in the school libraries; (2) Method of in­fusing aviation consciousness into each course; (3) Problems of more specific new courses which will be taken up later.

The five committee members at­tended a conference at Syracuse University on Saturday. Five rep­resentatives from each teacher-training institution in New York State met to discuss the place of aviation in the modern world and its implications for teacher educa­tion. Dr. Orton, head of Stockton College in California, delivered the keynote address. He stressed the fact that the present war will be won in the air, and that secondary

Forum to Elect

Officers Tuesday At the Forum meeting planned for

Tuesday at 3:30, many lines of busi­ness are in order. First of all elec­tions for the positions of speaker, clerk and treasurer will be held. However, for those who cannot at­tend the meeting, a table will be set up in the lower hall of Draper to enable them bo vote.

After the elections have been dis­pensed with, the Forum group will break up into three sections: one section to discuss whether or not the United States can take the offensive in the war; another to discuss charges of Inefficiency and waste hi the Federal government; and a third to discuss the war legislation before Congress.

The Forum also plans to draw up a list of all those former State Col­lege students who are In the service of the country, in the army, navy, marines, etc., and to mail to those former students papers and maga­zines telling them what is going on at State College.

Since this Is the fifth year of the Forum at State, a committee will be organized to evaluate the work done by tho Forum In its five years of existence. The plan for the Forum was originated by Dr. Robert Rlenow to supplement tho work done In his Political Science classes.

'Victory Savins' Theme For Intersorority Ball

Tho sororities of State College are collaborating on their annual ball, to be held at the Auranla Club, May 1, from 10 P. M. to 2 A, M, This year's dance will emphasize the importance of the "Saving for Vic­tory." There are to be absolutely no corsages—couples will stop at the Navy Relief Fund table at the door where a pin may be purchased for not less than $1.25. Freddy Gray with his ten-piece band and vocalist will do the musical honors of the evening.

Pirates Success;

Songs Outrank

Dramatic Efforts By Bernard Perlman

Despite the Information in the program, last night's performance did not begin until Jean McAllister made her first appearance upon the stage. Both the singer and acting lacked conviction and motion, albeit the motley costumes of the pirate chorus and virginal maidens pre­sented interesting tableaux at times.

As a whole, the singing of the evening, both solo and chorus parts, was of an exceptional nature, al­though the opening was too tame for a pirate band. It wasn't until the second act that Max Reeves found his voice, but Jean McAllister was surer of herself than ever before. The stage business of her first solo, Poor Wandering One, demonstrated immediately that she had matured measurably in control of her voice and manners. The talented If some­what gawky sensation of last year's Pinafore is now a seasoned trouper, having full command of any part she essays.

Brooks Roberts, as the pirate chieftain, acted most authentically, as did Ruth, the bane of the pirates' lives. However, their contributions were antithetical, Roberts acting the part and singing as best he could, with Schlesinger doing a good job on the music. Kunz' entrance was Impatiently awaited and right roy­ally received—and rightly so. There was a flavor and style to George's performance as the Major-General which did much toward providing the operetta with the drive and verve so characteristic of Gilbert and Sullivan.

Dingman's comic efforts were pre­sented so sparingly as to leave the audience desiring still more. Except for an understandable reluctance in the opening numbers, the chorus did a uniformly excellent job throughout the evening, emphasizing however, that for this first night at least, the singing on everybody's part quite outshone the acting. Too often, Dr. Candlyn and the student directors, in this case, Hirsh and Lee, have had their contributions slighted. Last night's performance, by its cohesion, pace, and musical excel­lence, was good evidence of the con­siderable talents of the triumvirate in command.

Sororities Choose

Budget Blues — An Editorial We have a job before us today; the job of seeing that we

are treated fairly. We must make sure that our money is being spent the way we want it to be spent. By instituting a uniform set of books we have gone a long way toward cleaning out our financial cellar; now we must finish the project by seeing that the right amount of money goes into those books. Last year Student Association was hoodwinked into passing an oversized budget. This year the State College NEWS is making every effort to see that this does not reoccur. This time there can be no itemized budgets left at home. There can be no evasion of the issue. The entire assembly must take it upon itself to know the fact and to act with justice toward itself.

It is time that the students of this college became aware of the fact that they hold the power of allocation of Student Association funds. Last year the budget in many cases was "liberal" to say the least. Budgets were padded and passed because the students had little time in which to discuss the budget and little information on which to base their discus­sion. This year there is no excuse for the mistake of last year. Today in its regular editorial column, the NEWS has printed the tentative itemized budgets of all the major activities. Thus you have all the information in front of you. Two Association meetings are being devoted to budget hearings.

As you will notice when you examine the budgets on page two, there has been a definite effort on the part of most organizations to cut their requests. However, the NEWS feels that some organizations have not cooperated in this effort. It is the task of today's meeting to ferret out these organizations and items, and to cut or eliminate them. It must be understood that what the Association says today can only carry the powers of recommendation, but the organization that will not weigh seriously the Association's recommendation in the budget hearings during the coming week is indeed biting the hand which feeds it. Furthermore the organizations which have already cooperated in slashing their appropriation will see to it that the offenders toe the line.

It will be noted that several of the items reproduced on page two of the NEWS are set aside with an asterisk. These are items which the NEWS would like explained to the satisfaction of Student Association.

State Gets 'Stock' by Fast Sales Talk

From War Stamp Backers Aney & Co. Stamp collecting is indeed the

latest fad at State College. Investi­gation and observation have shown that this is becoming a favorite student hobby—that is, the collection of war stamps. The sale of war stamps started Inst Monday noon in the lower hall of Draper; already the sales have reached the $47 mark.

Trece Aney, '44, super stamp sales­girl and originator of the intensi­fied student drive says, "I think this drive has been successful because many students have been willing to .sacrifice desserts In order to Invest their money in the war stamps. It certainly shows their patriotism."

One hundred and fifty have joined the ranks of the stamp collectors;

Dorm Will Usher in Spring

With Tuxedo-less Formal

Don't bother taking your tuxes out of tho moth balls, boys I The Pierce Hall girls are entertaining from 9 P. M. to 1 P. M. tomorrow night, but their annual spring dance Is semi-formal this year.

Since old man weather foiled the sophomores, It's up to tho dorm girls to usher in the spring season, and they are planning to do Just that. The theme will be a strictly feminine ono. "No red, white, and blue for a change I" declared Emily Blnlser, '43, chairman of the dance. Pink lights will play on tho faces of the dancers and they are guaranteed to make the girls beautiful—or rather, more beau­tiful.

Music for the affair will bo furnished by Charlie Randell, formerly of the Edgewood, who has Just come back from a suc­cessful southern tour. His band handles both sweet and swing exceptionally well.

Miss Aney and her cohorts person­ally distribute books for 10 and 25 cent stamps and even "lick" the stamps upon request. Besides this, those who have begun their stamp collecting previous to the drive ini­tiated by the students have added to their albums by patronizing' the little table located in front of the P. O.

Miss Aney urges that all students make an attempt to buy nt least one stamp a week.

A.D. to Present

The Royal Family Advanced Dramatics will present

The Royal Family, written by Edna Ferber and George s. Kaufman, on May 15 at 8:30 P, M. In Pago Hall Auditorium. The play, a satire on the Barrymore family, is under tho direction of Agnes E. Futterer, As­sistant Professor of English.

Through a system of competitive try-outs, the following cast was chosen: James McFcoley (satirizing John Barrymore), '43, Jane Curtis (portraying Ethel Barrymore), '43, Betty Bardon, '43, Juno Melville, '43, Jack Vose, '44, Kathleen Martin, '43, Morris Gerber, '43, Harold Ash-worth, '44, George Selfert, '42, Janet Wood, '43, Milton Adams, '45, Dan Regan, '45, The part which was to be played by Luke Zilles, '42, will be recast, slnco Zillos was drafted re­cently.

The committee chairmen are: House, Dorothy Huyck; Props, Betty Taylor; Costumes, Jane Curtis; Sets, Byron Benton; Bound Effects, Bar­bara Kerlln; Publicity, Barbara Clark, The members of next year's Advanced Dramatics class are help­ing on the committees.

Tentative Budget

Will be Debated;

Cut is Imminent AssemblyHearingResults Will Dictate Cut Policy After two organizational budget

hearings in the past two weeks, tentative budgets have been com­piled for all organizations and will be presented to the Student Associa­tion for discussion today.

This assembly discussion is the first of two such hearings planned. The instructions which come from Student Association today will be reconsidered by organizations in further hearings in Room 28 of Richardson during the coming week. The revised budgets will then be returned to Student Association for further consideration and possible acceptance.

Representatives of extra-curricu­lar activities realized that although the costs of many items in their budgets have risen considerably and although the administration expects an enrollment of only 900 students next year, it would be unwise to raise the student tax tickets higher than $14.00.

Somewhere in this budget, $1325 still remains to be cut, unless the Student Association votes to raise the tax to $15. The total amount to be appropriated has been set a t $12,600, but the totals of the tenta­tive budget are $13,193.75,

Seniors Must Buy

College Diplomas Dr. Milton G. Nelson, Dean of the

College, recently disclosed arrange­ments made by the administration for the purchase of diplomas and teaching certificates for the Seniors.

This \ear the cost for embossing the diplomas amounts to $2.35 per person. This amount will be paid by the students themselves, the money being collected by the Treasurer of ihe Senior Class, Benson Tybrlng. All seniors must pay $2.35 to their treasurer not later than May 15,

Also, by state law, each person must pay $3 for a teaching certifi­cate. This must be paid to Mr. Clarence Deyo, Treasurer of the Col­lege, by May i 5

v War Fronts -by Feigenbaum-

By Herb Lcncker Keep 'Em Falling . . . Don't forget that every war

stamp you buy helps to furnish planes for the pilots, bullets for the gunners, bombs for the bombadiers, and fire extinguishers for the navigators. . . .

Wendell Cady, last semester's scribe of this column, writes that he has been accepted by the Air Corps, and is awaiting call. Due to a lack of training facil­ities, all enlistments have been temporarily suspended. Cady is working at the Locomotive Works in Schenec­tady, using the interim to feather his pockets with shekels. . . .

Of Men and Mooses Bunny Ryerson's big brother Bill, who was graduated

way back in '40, is in the diplomatic service, serving as Secretary to the Naval Attache at the Embassy in Havana, Cuba.

Bill's job Is to interpret Spanish, and he works anywhere from 16 to 24 hours a day on the job. One day he was forced to give up his dinner hour and worked 25. Someone has to be on duty at the Embassy every minute, so it looks as If Bill was the last Secre­tary appointed.

However, the job has its advantages, affording a free study of Cuba, as well as a knowledge of the "Inside" of governmental affairs. Favorite recreation of the blond giant of the Ryerson clan is listening to the Cuban Symphony Orchestra, which Bill claims is really excellent.

Helmuth Schoen reports that Dutch Island, where he is now stationed, is full of Mooses, and the standard bearers of Teddy Roosevelt, like the old boy himself, are not at all shy. The soldiers are considering produc­ing a play . . . "The Moose Who Came To Dinner." . . .

The Fault, Dear Brutus? As part of his election platform, Don Vanas advo­

cated a change in the War Activities Council, bring­ing it more closely under the supervision of the Student Association.

Now this year the S. A. has done nothing about the matter. In fact, it was Forum which started the whole idea of a War Activities Program, and this in itself is a blot on the record of the Chief Executive of the student body, who passed up a splendid chance to exhibit dynamic leadership.

While a modification of the present council might increase its value, any radical change In its organiza­tion should be seriously resisted by the students— and probably would be resisted by the administration.

The present set-up is ideal for efficient cooperation of the students and the administration, but any drastic change will destroy this efficiency, and perhaps—a fate worse than death—turn the council into a log road, to be driven over at will by State's political machines. . . .

Surely Don, who himself has felt the impact of a political machine (driven by one motor, and not two as he imagines) would never wish the War Activitien Council to degenerate in this manner. . . .

With Malice Towards None Best news of the week was the 11th hour nomination

of Butch Peigenbaum to challenge the continuance of the "Virginia Dynasty" in the class of 1943.

Now the powerful clique that has control of the Junior class has been every efficient, and no one can question their sincerity. However, we are fighting to maintain democracy, and that includes a two party system,

When the presidency of a class of over 250 persons is about to be handed uncontested to the prime min­ister of a group, it just ain't good, Let's hope Peigen­baum offered a strong opposition—the tonic without which our democratic system can never survive. , . .

The biggest mystery of the war: Where did the American planes which bombed Japan last week come from and where did they go? No one seems to know, and those who do know aren't telling. But who cares? Americans don't want to know where the planes took off from or where they landed. They just want to know when Tokyo and Yokohama are going to be bombed again. Regardless of reports coming out of Japan to the contrary, the damage was heavy and the Japanese are scared.

The British Commandos had a field day one night last week. Shooting the one German sentry who challenged them, they landed on Boulogne on the French coast, shot the place up, damaged anything they could get their hands on, and returned to their boats with only a few minor wounds. Only after the Commandos were on their way home did the Germans send up flares and help signals. The fact that they were only challenged by one lone sentry on that part of the French coast which is nearest to England is significant, for when the British start looking for a weak spot in Mr. Schickelgruber's armor in which to open up a second front they may And it nearer home than they expected.

The Japanese are copying Berlin's style. The little yellow Aryans are making peace overtures while they are on the top. The United States government warns all Americans not to be taken in by these big-hearted offers,

The British and Chinese troops in Central Burma are unable to stop the Jap drive toward India. The Allies are fighting a delaying action and slowly falling back.

Corregidor is taking a heavy pounding from the big guns which the Japs have set up on Bataan, but the fortress is still holding out.

For the first time in the history of State College, the men can boast a golf team.

Because of the removal of base­ball, Coach Hatfield has undertaken to form and coach a group of in­terested men who will comprise the current, precedent-shattering team.

This Is Indeed a welcome addition to the State sports curriculum. Now the mighty mites of State will have an outlet for the excessive energy contained in vitamin-filled bodies.

Since the trend among underclass­men is for greater sports collabora­tion between the sexes, it might be a good Idea to plan a match between the best in the men's and women's divisions.

One person (name withheld i said the plan might not be accurate in terms of validity since the local golf courses have too many shady spots! The Royal Order, Etc.

All members of the Royal Order of the Ebony Sphere are hereby requested to drop a note to Corres­ponding Secretary Dolores Brege containing information as to the ap­proximate date of entrance, reason, and class year.

A message to those members who will find themselves in some branch of the armed forces—particularly the Air Corps—Will you try to form in your contingent, a branch of the Ebony Sphere Club:' There should be many bellicose individuals who Will qualify at once. For further information see me—don't know where, don't know when—but try. Sports Candid

Ping pong hit the high spot dur­ing the recent match featuring Dickson and Coombs versus Stolbof and Bernhardt. The spectators liter­ally draped from the curtains.

One practical individual who was too lazy to clean his teeth, simply held a tooth brush in front of his mouth and watched the ball!

Intramural Softball Loop Underway

The intramural Softball schedule finally got underway last Wednes­day. Potter Club, defending champs, and Kappa Delta Rho came through to win the opening games.

Potter batted out twenty hits as they ran up a football score of 29 to 3 with the assistance of twelve errors on the part of their oppo­nents, the College House team. Bob Seifcrt, pitching for Potter, allowed three runs on six hits in the first four innings. Red Evans pitched the last three innings allowing two hits, no runs, and striking out six men. Clarence Oarr was the losing pitcher.

In the second game KDR defeated Kappa Beta 13 to 10. Norm Finer, pitching for KB, allowed only one hit in Lhe first inning but the seven errors commit ted by his teammates gave KDR seven runs. KB outhit KDR 14 to six bul stranded twelve men on the basepaths, Fred Beyer pitched for the winners. Hank Brauner's home run for KB featured the hitting.

State Tennis Wins Over Plattsburg In Season Opener

Girls Hike to Chatham} Johnston Gets Stuck

Last week-end in a cold drizzle, thirteen of State's out­door girls trecked the well known trail out to Chatham to Camp Johnston. The camp looked a little crumby, so Satur­day morning the girls decided to creosote the outside. Accord­ing to reports, it was an awful job. But the results were worth the efforts.

Miss Johnston arrived Satur­day, and got her car stuck in the mud, All thirteen girls pushed and pulled with all their might, but the car was still stuck. Finally, they went down to Chatham for the tow car. Much to their disgust, the tow car extracted the car with one slight tug.

Everyone agrees that the week-end was wonderful. Great food, a great rest, and a great time made it very successful.

Physical Ed. — A n Editorial With physical education taking an

important role in this fast-changing world, we, as prospective teachers and community leaders, should give the subject due consideration. Let's not just think about it, What can be done about it?

New York State supports but one college for training physical educa­tion students —- Cortland State Teachers. However, the only two other departments in the school are health and elementary education. The opportunities given to a physi­cal education student are very slim in that he can not qualify to teach in secondary schools as a minor to his physical education course.

And to top it all off, the draft took better than 75% of the physical education men that graduated from Cortland last year. Only recently have these students been deferred— and that is only until they finish school, at which time they may still be inducted.

It's true that private colleges and universities, such as Syracuse U. and Ithaca College, are putting out physical education graduates, but the number is compartively small. High

schools can not get gym instructors, because they're all working for Uncle Sam—either drafted or enlisted. In one town the former undertaker Is now the physical education instruc­tor in the local school.

New York State is supposed to be the Empire State. Are we going to keep up with the modern trends of the world? Will the educators of the state and this institution see the new trend toward better physi­cal development and take steps to meet the demand for men in this field?

There are probably two possible ways through which this could be accomplished. The state could give grants to colleges and universities already training physical education instructors, whereby these schools would allow students from New York State to follow this course tuition-free. Or a physiclal educa­tion department could be added to such a state-supported collgee as State College,

Progressive educators see the de­mand for physical instructors. Progressive legislators should do something about it.

rummer Session Walrath Goes Latin to Mystify To Begin July 6 Delegates at Debate Conference

Social Studies Program Follows New Trends The Summer Session at State Col­

lege will begin July 6 and will con­t inue until August IB. Many courses have been added to the summer cur­riculum which do not appear in the regular session. The greatest change, however, has been made in the pro­gram of the Social Studies depart­ment .

"In regard to the Social Studies department," Dr. Milton G. Nelson, Dean of the College, stated, "the trend has been away from the study of mere history alone to the study of the social sciences, philosophy of democracy, community organization, sociology, development of family and of marriage institutions, etc.

Add Social Sciences "With this trend in mind, numer­

ous courses have been added to the summer curriculum dealing with the social sciences. These courses will not be added to the regular session curriculum, however. Some exam­ples are: History 147—Development of Democracy as a Philosophy and a Way of Life; History 150—Recon­struction of the Social Studies; Soc. 109—The Family; History 126—In­tellectual Backgrounds of Modern Culture; History 128— Machine Age Culture; History 127—The Rise of Autocracy.

During the summer session, a can­didate for the degree of Master of Science, who has completed the re­quirements established by the state for a teacher of commercial subjects, may select commerce as his field for graduate specialization. This is not possible under the four year plan now in effect for the Class of '42 in regular session. Literature Emphasized

Some new courses have been added to the curriculum in English. These courses emphasize the literature of the United States and emphasize the evaluation of literature for adoles­cents. The new courses are: English 28 — Literature for Junior - Senior High School students; English 100— The Middle West, Its Culture and Literature; English 101—Literature of Shakespeare 's London; English 127—Studies in Poetry.

In the science depar tment , a course is p lanned which will be entirely devoted to laboratory and field work in biology—no lecture periods. Dr. Clausen will teach this course and the explanation in the catalogue s ta tes : "Hip-boots will be of special value."

When the intellectuals of the New York State Debate Conference at Skidmore College could not per­ceive an impostor in their midst, it immediately became apparent to the members of State's debate team how relatively simple it would be for any­one of ulterior motives to do equally as well on a larger scale.

Amidst a tremendous ovation, Ira Hirsh, '42, introduced Glen Wal­rath, '42, to the gullible young rep­resentatives of every college and uni­versity of New York State—not as Glen Walrath but as Senor Gleno Gomez, an exchange student from Venezuela. Proceeding to the speak­ers' platform, Senor Gomez ejected a conglamoratlon of curses, abstract questions, and insults to every one present. The audience was amazed; they sat spellbound listening to each individual syllable with admiration. As Glen returned to his seat, he was cheered, applauded and respected. The audience had not understood anything Senor Gomez had s a i d -he spoke in Spanish.

schools could make a contribution in preliminary pilot training. "The last shots in this war," said Dr. Orton "will be fired by boys who are now sophomores and juniors in high school."

In the second part of his speech, Dr. Orton emphasised the signifi­cant place aviation has taken in the life of today. Due to the mail sys­tem, rapid communication, and social effects, aviation's scope will be similar to that of the automobile. Its progress has brought about an immediacy of relationship with European countries, and has pro­moted the study of foreign lan­guages. After t he war, Dr. Orton said t h a t aviation would have a profound effect on everyone, and influence housing, safety, juvenile delinquency, a n d crime, as the au to ­mobile already has .

Newman Plans Annual Trip Candidates Introduced

Friday evening at a banquet for all the debaters, and the hoax remained unrevealed throughout the follow­ing day.

Glen, one of State's best on the dance floor in the art of "modern swing interpretation," strengthened his reputation as a genuine Latin-American by performing with real­istic Spanish grace the intricate rhumbas, congas, and tangos which are so illustrative of South America.

State College Students not only created the humorous aspect, but also provided the convention with considerable aid in the formulation of the important bills that were considered. Saturday morning they participated in the debate and passage of four resolutions concern­ing the economic, political, cultural and military relations of the United States and South America. After complete drafting, they will be sub­mitted to the United States Con­gress and the State department at Washington.

In appreciation of State students' abilities, Shirley Wurz, '43, was elected secretary of the Committee on Economics and Sol Greenburg presided over the meetings of the Committee on Military Affairs.

State Lauded (or Work In Spanish Preparation

Speaking at the annual spring meeting of the American Association of Teachers of Spanish held at Syra­cuse University last Saturday, Mr. Roy Mosher, Supervisor of Modern Languages of the State Education Department reported on the in ­crease of Spanish in the high schools of New York State. He declared, "State College is doing a fine job in beginning to supply these teachers."

This meeting was the culmination of Pan-American Week which com­menced April 14. Dr. James W. Childers, Assistant Professor of Spanish, accompanied Mr. Mosher to the convention.

T h u s Miss Agnes E. Fut terer , As­s is tant Professor of English, con­ducted her 13th rehearsa l of The Royal Family which is to be pre­sented in Page Hall May 15 a t 8:30 P.M.

T h e play, produced by the Ad­vanced Dramat ics class, is a sat ire on the Barrymore family. I t pic­tures the escapades of Tony (played by J im McFeeley, '44) who is con­stantly trying to escape the police a n d the mobs t h a t gather together whenever he is expected to arr ive on the scene. He seems to have a fac­ulty for getting mixed up in breach of promise suits and letting his sis­ter, Jul ie (played by J a n e Curtis, '43), and manager find a way out. An excellent characterizat ion is clone by Betty Barden, '43, who plays the p a r t of their old mother.

The play has one set throughout . The scene, laid in a duplex apa r t ­ment in the East 50's in New York City. T h e action takes place within a period of a year.

This play was presented here about eight years ago with Lucille Hirsh playing the par t of Fanny . "People who saw the play a t t ha t Lime considered it the funniest com­edy we had ever put on," Miss F u t ­terer told the reporter. "One of Its fine points is t ha t it is an insight to theatr ical life t h a t people wouldn't, get in any other way."

Miss Fu t te re r has had her share of bad luck in producing the play. June Melville, '43, one of the minor leads, was sent home because of an appendicit is at tack and may not be able to continue her performance. Another of her actors. Luke Zilles, '43, was drafted but has been re­placed by John Lubey, '•!:.

Criticisms Are Made

A t Three Hearings;

W A A Is Questioned T h e S tuden t Association budget

for ld42-1943 will be formally sub­mitted to the student body this morning in assembly by Nick Mor-sillo, '42, Senior member of Finance Board. With last week's motion e l iminat ing the Statesman from the budget and the deletion of NSFA, t h e budget figure now s tands a t $12,552.75, $641 less t h a n the original sum. The removal of these two or­ganizat ions places t he price of s t u ­den t tax tickets a t approximately $14 dollars, computed on a total e n ­rollment of 900 s tudents .

Despite the slash in the budget figure, a large percentage of the s tudent body is still unsatisfied with several i tems listed on the itemized organizat ion budgets published in last week's NEWS, as was evidenced in the hear ings this week. Every organizat ion was called on to e x ­pla in one or more i tems on its bud­get.

Tax Price Discussed

" W h a t difference does i t make whether we have a $14 or $15 s tu­den t t a x ? " was one of the questions asked a t Monday's hearing. Con­

sensus of opinion indicated a lack of concern on the par t of the s tu ­dents. However, they felt tha t the possibilities of padding would be greater on a bud­get tixed to r e ­quire a $15 tax, and that, If a l ­lowed to go t h a t high, future bud­gets would jump

even higher ana the student body \\ mid be lighting to keep a $15 fax.
