Some typical items considered have been the formulation and circulation of a joint-statement on chaperones, the collection of a list of faculty members who are willing to chaperone student events, review of and recommendations to the social calendar committee, recommendation of the student leadership conference held last spring, consideration of the space problem at freshman camps and recommendation for 1955-56 seasons, consideration of the dormitory and general housing situation, exchange program and faculty cooperation in student activities.

Students To Vote In Assembly Or Absentee For SA Officers
ROBERT BETSCHA JOSEPH KELLY
"This coming college year is one "Members of S tudent Association, which I believe a number of neces- as a candidate for President of S tu-sary changes will take place. It is dent Association, I would like to a year in which the leaders of present the following platform: our s tudent government must look i. There are organizations on ahead into the not so dis tant fu- campus tha t must, strive to improve ture and prepare for these changes, their effectiveness.
What are the conditions which will necessitate change? The greatest one which I can foresee is a t tempting to operate a s tudent government set up for a college enrollment of about one thousand, with a present enrollment, of nearly double tha t size! Within the past few years, the college adminis t ration lias to some degree met its problem of increased enrollment by the construction of new buildings, addition of faculty members, and most recently to dev ia t e a registration and grading problem, the IBM system.
What has s tudent government done? Our past leaders have realized this enrol lment problem and have at tempted to "s t re tch" our present town-meeting government, by making minor changes from time to time, to compensate for enrollment. I feel t ha t we have gone beyond the "stretching point" and the time for change is at hand.
In addition to increased enrollment, it is quite apparant that something else is lacking. Assemblies while compulsory, draw less and less of a crowd each week. They are not sparked with fiery discussion tha t the seniors here now once heaid in their first years of college, but ra ther with questions raised my Myskania or Student Council members (who in many cases already know the answer) a t tempt ing to bring (joints of controversy before the s tudent body. While fine in purpose, this is often ineffective in results.
Yes, I am in favor of a representative form of government. Plans have been started this year, which will be available for presentation next year.
Our present election set. up and procedure i.s another point where

Some organizations have already started the ball rolling in an attempt to improve. SMILES has been overhauled and i.s climbing back to the position it once held on campus as an active, worthwhile organization on campus.
AMIA has been presenting monthly inventories to Student Council and improving their checkout in an a t t empt to keep a closer (rack of their equipment.
If those organizations which are not f inctioning properly would attempt to seek out and solve their weaknesses. Student Association as a whole would profit greatly.
2. Just ;is the organizations of Student Association need improvement, so does the Association itself.

of government was to represent some 1,400 students. As you can see today, and every Friday, about 1,200 votes and opinions are missing.
Because of this sad situation, the work of the New Types of Government committee should be intensified and accelerated and, as soon as it i.s possible our present, form of government should be replaced by a representative type of government.

The depar tmenta l cha i rman will discuss requirements for a major and also for the minor in which the s tudent intends to matr iculate . The chairmen will also aid freshmen in making up a class program for next year. The Deans specify that li any student i.s not sure as to what his major should be or is he can receive aid in making a decision in the Student Personnel Office.
The Kie l ion Rally and Budget Assembly which came up during mid-week forced Student Council to hold its session on Monday evening.
Minor discussion took place when the members ol Council felt tha t complete absentee balloting might be a belter plan than allowing just those in assembly to have the privilege ol the vote. But a Myskania ruling ol lasl .semester calls for assembly and absentee voting, which thus killed any further voting proposals by Council. Revue Committee Elected

PAaia •TATE COLLEGE N E W S . FRIDAY, APRIL 2 0 . 1 0 5 3
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde . . . Wednesday evening at the special Assembly a peti
tion was brought before the Association requesting the reversal of the Myskania decision which allows people with Assembly seats to vote either in Assembly or absentee. The petition was defeated because of a lack of ten votes.
Present at the Assembly were one hundred and one persons out of seventeen hundred persons in this college. Out of this extremely sparse gathering, fifty-seven voted for the reversal of the ruling and fifty four against it. A yes vote by two-thirds of the Assembly was needed to reject the decision—ten more votes would have done it! Even in this small gathering it was evident the majority of the students were opposed to it. In a larger meeting the motion for the reversal would have been carried.
In effecting this decision, Myskania went against the constitution by reading more into it than was there. Their job is to interpret the constitution as it is set down, not add to it at their will!
With this decision also, Assemblies will lose their meaning. Their whole purpose—that of legislation and voting, will be taken away and they will eventually be discontinued! With our present form of government, this would be disastrous.
Originally Myskania was set up as an honorary body, to which were elected members of the Association who were active in the organizations on campus and who had shown interest in and had done something for the school. Gradually, this was changed and as the school grew, Myskania broadened its scope and became, in name, a judiciary body as well. At the present time the constitution refers to Myskania as "An honorary society of Seniors, selected for the special abilities necessary for the execution of judicial duties and for the honor attached to this office." In voting for Myskania each year, the Student Association has not taken into consideration whether or not the candidates are qualified to fulfill this requirement. Certainly this recent action shows a lack of knowledge of the constitution and a definite disregard of action that should have been taken long ago.
A majority of the members of Myskania are not necessarily qualified to act in both capacities—honorary and judiciary. They have not had the experience, nor the ability, to rule on the constitution and other very important matters that arise which require wise judgment. Myskania cannot act as both honorary and judicial body—they are simply not qualified.
We feel that the body should be either brought back to its original purpose—that of an honorary society—or the members of Myskania should be elected for their abilities in judicial matters, according to the constitution!
When Myskania made this ruling they maintained that they weren't establishing a precedent, that they would leave strong recommendations stating that this was being done because of unusual extenuating circumstances.
But, in effect, they are establishing a precedent! By doing this they are inferring that Myskania has overwhelming powers—that their word is law and no one can contest it. The people who voted negatively Wednesday evening were condoning this sad state of affairs. They were, indirectly, giving Myskania full power over us—sanctioning all their decisions with no thought to the constitution or to the limits of their authority.
Yesterday, while observing absentee voting, the following conversation was overheard: Two members of SA were marking their ballots, one saying to another, "Who shall I vote for? Who do you want to get elected?—I'll vote for them!" This is just one example of the thoughtlessness with which people cast their ballots. The balloting is supposed to be secret, but when Myskania was approached and asked to do something about it, they refused. If voting was restricted to the Assembly, there would be none of this irresponsibility. The people who are interested, responsible, and who know the candidates and what they stand for, would be the ones who cared enough to come and vote and know what they are voting for. It is better to have 400 wise voters than 600 foolish ones!

J Kofiital Kap&iA, By C U F F DAVIS
For a change of pace I t h o u g h t I 'd dispense with a flicker dun-down and touch on some other c inema chat ter . (The shows downtown a r e n ' t wor th talking about.)
One th ing I 'd like to h i t upon is the big screen. Don' t be fooled by CinemaScope and VistaVision. Th i s process doesn't ea rmark a picture a big money-rnaker. The big screen is commonplace, now, and because it 's commonplace the movies done u p today aren ' t all sensations. Critics have proven tha t movie-goers are so gullible t h a t they overlook qual i ty in a show and go only to get t he thrill of seeing scenes unfold in gigantic proportions.
This lends to the quest ion: Are the technical values more import a n t t h a n the aesthetic values? S u r veys today are proving the former is so. Launching of jet planes from a carrier and leviathan Ind ian m a s sacre scenes are supplant ing well-spoken love scenes.
Some directors refuse to be duped. Take Country Girl. The recurr ing down- to-ear th shots had to be p h o tographed in b lack-and-whi te to establish the proper mood. So did The Waterf ront bit.
Here's the reason why: Cinema-Scope is good only for the big m u sical movies, etc. You can look over the width of the screen and still not take in all t ha t goes on. Country Girl was focused mostly on four people and their conversations in dramat ic style. I t was imperative t h a t a viewer's a t tent ion be only on them. There could be no room for wandering eyes.
I'll be talking more later about up-and-coming Strategic Air Command and Purple Plain. They ' re done in 'Scope . . . and done well. They ' re spectaculars, but in this day and age of spectacular things, why shouldn ' t they be? Well, more on small-big screens later. Be seeing you. Be seeing movies.

Gowmu+ucalionl To the Editor:
My argument with the Kanen letter, which appeared in last week's News, is not whether S ta te College should or should not have its name changed, but ra ther the quality of intelligence unci professional demeanor reflected by its writer and all s tudents who would think and reason as he does. The thoughts expressed in the Kanen let ter are shot through and through with half t ruth , mean inference, and rash emotionalism—all of which are an tithetical to an intelligent or professional at t i tude.
He should be criticized for reasoning tha t this college will NECESSARILY be forced to abandon its present liberal arts curr iculum and become an "education major" insti tution as a consequence of the proposed change in the school's name becoming effective. There is absolutely no evidence, or even a responsible hint , tha t a change in the school's name will be followed by any change in the curr iculum. Kanen ' s reaction to this issue has been with his hear t r a the r than his head, which would be excusable were it not for the fact t ha t he has spent four years in training to avoid just this pitfall.
He should be criticized for suggesting t h a t the education depa r t ment is behind the drive for the name change as a first step in making "education majors" of us all. As a ma t t e r of fact, the education depar tment s tands solidly together with the other depar tments in their unalterable opposition to the proposed name change.
He .should be criticized for his muddled thinking as demonst ra ted by his condemnation of the education depar tment ' s "pragmat ic theories" in one paragraph and then, in the following paragraph, using this same pragmatic method, which he has just condemned, to "prove" a point: "The folly of dropping the liberal ar ts and of making education majors out of all State s tudents is best shown by the value placed upon the education courses themselves!" Aside lroni this glaring inconsistency. Kanen could never have been exposed to a pragmatic theory of education at Sta te because tills philosophy went out the window with prohibition and wa.s supplanted by Dewey's instrumentallsin, which is the education depar tment ' s philosophy today.

This school can be much better. It is changing and growing; we must keep up with the change.

We don't seem to be on the "in" on what other levels of the school are thinking, illustrated by a field house, athletic field and cafeteria.

However, here I am faced with a dilemma.

According to Joan Carlin '55, Chairman of Myskanla, the honorary judicial board has revised the custom of the college as listed on pages 41 and 42 of the Freshman Handbook. The changes were made to make the customs more workable and to delete those which are obsolete and out of date and to further tradition. Miss Carlin also states that Myskania recommends to the Rivalry Committee that they not omit the Banner Hunt from the rivalry ceremonies. They advocate that the class hunt for the banner and report to Myskania when they find it and this will end the hunt.
The changes in traditions include: the deletion of Numbers 3 and 4, which read:
3. When two or more students of different rank enter a building or any room of a building at the same time, difference must be shown to upperclassmen.
4. There shall be no cutting across the lawns of the campus at any time. Deletion of "Fight Song" from 5 which reads:
5. Freshmen shall be required to know "College of the Empire State," "Arm in Arm," "Life Is Very Different," by November 1.
Number 6 will be changed from: Freshmen shall be required to

Such a plan would help to alleviate, to some extent, the crowded condition of the social calendar and would also do away with the necessity for compulsory assemblies.

We'd like all you sports enthusiasts to take a walk over to the AMIA bulletin board today and notice all the spring sports activity going on. Better yet put your name on one of these sign-up sheets.
Many constantly complain of the level of sports in varsity status here at State. These many may not realize that varsity sports do not come into being overnight. At present there is Bowling and Wrestling on a club status. Two years ago keglers and grapplers were in a dream world when they talked of varsity competition. Now there is a possibility that some of us may see the inauguration of these sports on a varsity pedestal. Why? Simply be-
Potter Club, SLS, Win In National League Softball
Due to the unfavorable weather conditions only two games were played in the National Softball League this week. In the league's opener, Potter trounced the Apaches, 17-3. The other game saw SLS beat Hilltop, 5-4, in eight innings.
Potter Scores 13 in Sixth The fate of the Apaches was de
termined in the sixth inning when Potter collected 13 runs on eleven hits. The featuring blows of the inning were Don Leln's home run and Bob Baker's triple with the bags loaded full of "Potterers." Hank Muller, who turned in a neat 3-hit performance and helped his cause with three base hits, was the winning pitcher, and Don Mathews took the loss.
SLS Wins in Eighth Although Hilltop jumped to a
quick 4-0 lead, SLS fought back fiercely, scoring one run in the sixth inning and tying the score with three runs in the bottom of the seventh. As the game went into extra innings, Hilltop's pitcher. Brown, served a fat one to Joe Swierzowski who drove in Prior with the winning run. Earlier, Swiz/, had hit a long four-bagger off the offerings of Neil Brown.

Will Bowling and Wrestling become a varsity sport? Will tennis and track hit club status? It depends. Sincere interest must be displayed. How about you. Why not add your name to the list. Be an organizer not an onlooker.
We'd like to congratulate Joe Du-ran and Tom Shumanski on the fine job they did in handling the IM Bowling chores. Congrats also to Potter and Summit, the league winners, plus APA, the playoff champs. The head of the softball league must also not be overlooked. Bruce King has done an excellent job in organizing this year's soft-ball league. All Bruce and the soft-ball men need now is the cooperation of the Albany weatherman.
Years Keglers Register High Caliber Scores
Now that the Intramural Bowling season is tucked away and the winners have been determined, there is time to examine some of the outstanding individual and team performances turned in during the heat of competition. The caliber of these performances was higher than it has been in previous years.
Duran Most Consistent Joe Duran was the most consist
ent bowler in the fast Downstairs League over the entire season. Joe compiled the high average of 172. Joe also bowled the high triple of the season; a rather phenomenal 077. Duran bowled the high single of 277 on this momentous day; however, since he is already in line for one trophy, Dave Borden, who bowled a 245, will take the high single trophy. APA, the playoff winners, had a 939 team single game, and a 2563 teaui triple to lead in these departments.
In the weaker Upstairs League, Tom DiGeasare turned in the high average. Tom Mullen had the high single, while Deane Cunningham split the maples for the best triple of the season in this league. The APAchies had the high team single and high team triple.
Hathaway Plans Include J. Zidik On Stadium Hill
Coach Hathaway and his baseball nine have high hopes of opening their 1955 season today—if the rains let up long enough. The Peds will play host to Oneonta State with the action slated to get underway in Bleecker Stadium. Tomorrow they will travel to take on the New Paltz Hawks.
Indications are that State diamond fans will see a new array of feces in the local's opening lineup. Bob Granados, who received the offerings of Kansas City's Arnold Porcocarrero when the two played American Legion ball will probably

This week the Sports Spotlight falls on Dave Borden, ace mounds-man of the Ridge House softball squad. Dave, also spotlighted during the Intramural Bowling season, pitched a no-hit, no-run game against KB last Friday.
Borden was in complete command all the way, not allowing a ball to be hit out of the infield. Indeed, only one man reached third in this uneven contest.
