State To Meet ABC Next Wednesday Night

Techniques Developed From Added Practices

LIZ SULLIVAN

When we think of the basketball games played by the WAA league teams this year, the one thing that stands out differentiating the games from those played last year is the lack of spirit with which these games are carried through. Last year, if we remember correctly, other members of the houses came along to cheer their teams along. Some even had cheers and a cheer leader. This year the spirit has definitely died down. There are act­ually only a few people who come to see their teams play. We hope to see more of a showing at the final play-off of the two top teams.

Helpful Friends Sports that various people are now

taking up are resulting in an en­larged collection of skeletons for the biology department. The skeletons are mainly bat skeletons caught by specialists in this line. In fact, the specialist in the lead who has now caught at least nine bats says, "Well, if I fail practice teaching, I will spend my life collecting bats to further the cause of well there must be some cause it would further!" This we thought was quite an unselfish aspiration. At this point may come the question of why all this Is happening now. Well the reason is that something happened to the thermostat so that the house was warmer than usual. The bats hibernating for the winter, notice the sudden change in temperature and thinking that It is spring, come down and begin to fly about at dusk —causing, as you may well Imagine, no end of consternation to the dear fenimes living at the house. Well, after all, life would be dull if there were not winged creatures around!

A Gripe Seeing ihe head on this will prob­

ably cause a lot of people to skim over but if only a few of the in­volved people see it then we will be happy. It's about the score books again. Could we humbly request that the scores be kept according to the spaces and in the spaces that are provided in the book and also that a slight amount of energy be used in pushing the pencil that is used. Some of the scores are writ­ten in so lightly that correct or not —they can't be read without the aid of an arc lamp. The scores are being kept much better than they were last year so that's consolation —pretty soon we ought to have per­fect score books—Allah!

Grimm Tale Then there's the story of Cinder­

ella and the glass slipper. The 1946 version is, however, somewhat dif­ferent. Seems as though the mod­ern Cinderella Is a cute little blonde with a lot of luck and a foot just the right size to fit the slipper! We were all in the P. O. slaving away, when we heard that one of our Junior reporters namely the now famous Cinderella Day, had liter­ally won the city of Albany for a day! Isn't that wonderful—now the Question is who is the Prince Charming going to be? Well Ginny hero's your chance. Then Tichy (another Illustrious Soph reporter) .started to yelp. We thought maybe a tack was on the chair or some­thing but instead she yelled, "Why I was the one who told her to go down to try on the shoe! That makes ma famous too!" Well Tichy, maybe CJnderella will drive you around in her pumpkin colored jeep for five or ten minutes, or maybe she'll let you peek Into the room she's to occupy at the DeWitt for an evening, or she may even let you take a sip of the champagne she's going to drink—or—well Tichy wo can't all have size four shoe can we?

To return to reality for a few mo­ments—we'd like to mention that Coach Hathaway is really giving those boys a workout at basketball practices. Siena watch out—they're on the way up 11

Smiling Swordsman Sees Fencing Femmes Flutter Foils

Since last fall some of State's femmes have been striving to de­velop proficiency in one of the old­est arts of defense. There was something so romantic and chal­lenging in the command, "Engarde" that ten little girls climbed out of bed early Saturday morning.

Until last week every thing seem­ed to proceed according to plan. Form, balance, coordination and footwork were uppermost In the minds of the fencing enthusiasts. Then, the new instructor appeared. Joseph Messier of LaSalle is a skill­ed swordsman with "curly brown hair and twinkling blue eyes." It isn't his fault that every time he strides into view his charges become so distracted they fumble and drop their foils, but that's the way it Is. The new instructor has caused a sensation.

Two Squad Top Basket League

Phi Delt, Gamma Kap Only Undefeated Teams

The WAA basketball league con­tinues this week as five more team* played their games with several others yet to be played-off. The Wednesday night games were post­poned and this slightly delayed the games scheduled this week.

Two teams have been eliminated from the league because of failure to win at least one out of four games, These are Wren and Com­muters. AEPhi and Western have dropped out of the running.

Four games were postponed thto week and will be played off in the near future. The scheduled matches were KD vs. Phi Delt, Psi Gam \§. Rares, Tommy More vs. Sayles and Moreland vs. Farrell. With the completion of these four games tht second round of the basketball lea­gue will come to an end. All teams that have lost four games have beea eliminated from the league.

There are only three teams which are undefeated so far. These are Gamma Kap, Phi Delt, and Beta Zeta. KD and Psi Gam have only been defeated once, indicating that five strong teams will be fighting hard as the tourney pulls into the semi-finals.

Last Monday afternoon, the Rares literally swamped Tommy Mors with a score of 26-10. The game didn't really get going until after the half when the Rares tightened their defensive. From then on it was their game. Davidson was high scorer for the winners, and Herlihy paced the loosers.

On Tuesday night the Newman-BZ tilt took the spotlight. It was a close game all the way to the fin­ish. Up until the half, Newman kept a two point edge over BZ. At the half the score was tied 11-11. In the third quarter the BZ squad rallied when Casey started the ball, rolling by tossing in a field goal. BZ managed to keep the lead from then on. I t was a hard fight but BZ came out with a win of 18-13. Casey was high scorer for the vic­tors with a total of 11 points. Cooper tossed in 5 for the defeated Newman squad.

Gamma Kap chalked up another win to their record of all wins by -downing the Chi Sig team 30-10. The ' powerful Gamma Kap six launched a relentless attack and didn't let up until the finish. Young put in 15 for Gamma Kap and Sylvestri star­ed for Chi Sig.

Sayles Hall took the Whiz Kids to the tune of 12-8. This game was the upset of the evening and the Sayles six seems to have received a shot in the arm in the person of Marge Cramer.

The KD-Stokes game wa,s slow moving with very little scoring throughout, the entire game. The score was tied at, the half, but KD got a slight lend in the fourth quar­ter and defeated the hard-fighting Stokes team 10-9.

date for the office of Vice Presi­dent of Student Association, I pro­pose and will attempt to carry out, if I should be elected, a platform of constitutionality, cooperation, and recognition — a constitutionality of student government on the basis of the newly-revised constitution; co­operation toward our common goal, the Student Union, endeavoring to keep it constantly before us as an aim; and recognition of State, urg­ing all other organizations to join hands with MAA in paving the way to popularity and prestige among other colleges."

The only restriction on topic is that it depict a situation of general campus wide Interest, as the pur­pose of the contest Is to obtain cartoons which pertain to Stale College life as well as to offer an opportunity to display student work, The subjoct chosen may bo treated either seriously or humor­ously, so a sketch dealing with stu­dent government or classes will bo as acceptable ns a lighter theme.

Myskania Issue

To Be Discussed Articles V I , V I I Slated For Assembly Debate

Discussion of the revised consti­tution of Student Association will be continued today in assembly. Articles I through V were passed two weeks ago without discussion. Article VI was started. Section 4 of Article VI concerning Student-Faculty Relations was hotly disput­ed, and finally passed in the favor of Student Council. Today the rest of Article VI and the beginning of Article VII will be under discus­sion. Points for Discussion

The main topic of discussion for this morning's assembly will prob­ably be the method of selection of Myskania, due to the omission of the clause providing for such selec­tion. Other possible points of contro­versy are the appointment of an au­ditor, formerly a duty of the Stu­dent Board of Finance, and in the revised constitution allotted to Stu­dent Council, and sections 4q and 4r providing for Impeachment of student Association and Class offic­ers. Following arc all important changes made in Articles VI and VII. Article VI

Section 41: to appoint Campus Commission, changed lo: To approve or veto nil regulations of Campus Commission.

Section 4m—to appoint the follow­ing officials:

1. A competent auditor who shall check the books of each organization. (This was formerly the duty of Stu­dent Board of Finance.)

2. Pro-tempore officers to fill va­cancies occurring within two weeks of regular nominations. Tho first half of this statement has been at­tributed to Student Council In Ar­ticle 8, Section E4. The time limit is an addition.

3. An election commission of five members, one of whom is to be des­ignated president. 'Formerly Article 8, Section C3, which gave tills power to the President of S. A. with the approval of Student Council.)

Sections 4o, 4p, 4q, and 4r have been added. Section 4o concerns Student Board of Finance; Section 4p provides for recounting of ballots by Student Council; Section 4q and 4r provide for Impeachment of Stu­dent Association and Class officers.

dent government and of who was who in t h a t government, I would say "make Myskania more demo­crat ic ." At present, however, I would say tha t no more than 250 of the thousand s tudents of Sta te have an active interest a n d knowledge about their s tudent government. The rest are ei ther passively interested, or interested in intellectual pursuits and bored by such practical mat­ters as was evidenced two weeks ago when our President announced tha t the revised Constitution would be discussed. I do not condemn such interests, but am merely pointing out the picture as I have seen it for the past four years.

Since f believe tha t the at tain­men t of active interest on the pari of even a majority of the students is practically impossible, f, for one, would leave Myskania as I found 11. II may be undemocratic in the sense that all the members arc not chosen by all of Student Association, but ii Is purely democratic in that all its members have an equal vote, an equal knowledge of the facts, and an equal interest In the out come whether it is about Student-Fa­culty relations or choosing a new Myskania. As such, il will render justice in the future as il has In the pasl. Democracy—or .lustice?

In closing, I would like to urge any member of Sludent Association who voted affirmatively on Ihe ques­tion "Should Student-Facul ty rela­tions be In the hands of student Council?" to reopen the question this morning In assembly, I also urge all the members of S tudent Association to vote down any proposals agalnsi Myskania. I say all this not as a Myskania member who wishes to keep Its powers Intact, but as one who has served on your representa­tive body for three years, one who wishes to see JUSTICE above all. Re­member tha t word, JUSTICE, when the word democracy is flung at you, To me, JUSTICE is the more sacred of the two.

WHEN YOUR HAIR HAS TURNED TO SILVER Are you planning to live to a ripe old age? By all

means, do so if you're an exhibitionist—because, af­ter the first 80 years, you can always get your name in the papers—Headlines In the Knickerbocker News: "Woman, 88, Plans to Ely Atlant ic"—"She is Mrs. Emllie Weaver and she looks on the ocean flight as a lark." ibirds again!)

A better news story in the K.N. is capt ioned: "81, Her Jellies Famous."—"About 50 years ago, Mrs. Lisle D, Macintosh preserved some apple jelly for her own use. Today the 81-year-old woman is still pre­serving." il hope to be well preserved myself bv the lime I'm HI . . . i

Then, in prove the old adage of "Woman, Ihv name is vainly," we have the story of Mrs. Minnie Qlotis ot Pocapson, Pa., who celebrated her 120th bir thdav and told Inquiring reporters she was only It's a woman's privilege, you know . . . >

Return Bouts Scheduled With Siena, Pharmacy

MARY LIZ SULLIVAN First we think it only right to

give apologies where they are due. One of our very dear friends seems to have been very much offended at something we wrote last week. The one time friend Is Tlchy who spent a perfectly miserable afternoon Friday because of curious people who wanted to know what size shoe she wears—the horrible part of it is that she had to tell them that she wears size nine. That isn't so horrible when you stop to think of how high the sizes go in shoes. The part that really killed her was when some fellow in the Commons decided to try on her shoe to see just how big it really was—well it fit him, so now he knows. The moral is—either don't go to the Commons or else if you must go then go in your stock­ing feet. Some Memoirs

Remember Camp Johnston — this is just to remind you that it is still there. At least we think it is! Fourth page seems so odd this year with so little mention of Camp Johnston. We can remember the days when that was a source of one of our main stories. Well we better not say any­thing—we may have to rely on Camp Johnston yet. Anyway since we really haven't heard anything— could be that the dear old camp is snowed under. One good thing that the snow is bringing is an oppor­tunity for a new sport club at State.

If enough people are interested, a skiing club may be organized. If some cars can be obtained, then per­haps some skiing trips to Vermont may be made. The only suggestion we have to make about this is that the organization be a little on the speedy side. When something of this type is discussed the snow usu­ally begins to melt, so maybe if the members of the club hurry up, at least one or two trips can be taken before the spring thaws! Complaint Dept.

So many things came in under this heading that it is sometimes hard to try to talk about the ones that are the most important. One thing that was brought up this week; concerns the gym floor. The kids are supposed to wear sneaks when they have gym, but in some way or other, the floor is becoming scratched. Also both the fellows and the girls are registering complaints as to the dust on the floor which leaves them, as one of the girls put It, "coal black." When the girls finish gym and the fellows finish basketball practice, they are more than ready for the showers—in fact baths would be more to the point and do more good. Couldn't some­thing be done about this—like swish­ing a mop back and.forth once In a while?

New Merit Tests Will Meet Need For Higher Standards In Teaching

Psychology, Philosophy Basis Of Examinations

With the gradual increase in com­petition and salaries in the teach­ing profession, the natural result would be an increase in the schol­astic and professional standards re­quired of the teachers. That this is a fact is being evidenced by the establishment in many schools of merit lists based on examinations of professional and subject matter given to teachers. System New in N. Y.

Although this system has been used in other states, it is a recent innovation in New York because the high standards recognized in State Teachers Colleges here have hitherto deemed them superfluous. Their use does not incidate any lowering of the standards set by the Education Department for teachers, but rather an effort towards unpre­judiced and fair method of picking the most capable teacher from a multitude of applicants.

The public school system of Syra­cuse, New York, is the recognized leader in using the merit list as a standard for hiring teachers. First introduced there in 1939, new ex­aminations are to be given March 16 of this year, with the results to become effective as soon afterward as they may be evaluated. Merit Test Contest

Of what are the examinations comprised?

Professionally, they will cover the principles and philosophy of edu­cation. Child psychology will be stressed for elementary teachers and adolescent psychology for sec­ondary teachers.

Examinations on subject matter w.'ll nl-o be somewhat different for elementary and secondary school teachers. Curricular methods and materials, psychology for various age levels in elementary grades, and the knowledge and use of written English will be covered in the tests given to teachers of kindergarten through eighth grade teachers. For secondary teachers, examinations will be given which include knowl­edge of the subject field and met­hodology of the subject. In fields involving training in skills, perfor­mance tests will constitute part of the examination.

French Students Appeal For Food

Offer To Repay Help Wi th Cash O r Cognac

The General Association of the Students of Montpellier in Herault, France, has sent an appeal for help to the students of this college. It is a request for the food that is so urgently needed by these students of a war-disheveled country.

Now the war is over; the occu­pation forces have left and attempts are being made to restore the France of former years. This re­conversion, however, is slow, and the need for food is .still acute, Con­sequently i hey have appealed to their American fellow-students for aid.

Offer Payment The request includes foods such

us coffee, chocolate, powdered milk, canned meals and oilier foodstuffs which can be shipped easily. These arc all foods common to Americans but, precious to the French people.

The students of Monfepellier in return have suggested that they might repay their American com­rades either in money or else in equivalent supplies of cognac and after-dinner wines. This would be determined by those Americans contributing.

Teachers Grouped According to a pattern set at

Syracuse, eligibility lists will place teachers in the following groups: kindergarten through third grade, fourth through sixth grade, seventh through eighth or ninth grades, and for high schools in the following fields: art, biology, chemistry, com­mercial, English, French, science, German, guidance, home economics, industrial arts, Italian, Latin, li­brary science, mathematics, music, physical education, social studies, Spanish, and trade and industrial subjects. When the final results are weighed the professional exam­ination and scholarship will be con­sidered first with the subject field examination and experience rating second. The Future Teacher

What do the development of mer­it lists mean to future teachers?

Primarily, if their use is wide­spread, teaching standards will be' raised with scholarship and teach­ing ability achieving greatest im­portance. With less emphasis plac­ed on experience, it indicates great­er possibilities for newcomers in the teaching profession to obtain positions in larger school systems provided their scholarship and capability warrant such.

Student Groups To Visit Homes O f Professors

Harriet Brinkman, '46, President of Student Christian Association, has announced the schedules for the [acuity visits and Lenten Lec­tures. Hillel will hold a Purlin pai'iy March n . according to Jo­seph Palevsky, '4C, President.

Skinner To Make Hearts "Young And Gay" In Page Her heart's still young and

gay, so she's following it to State.

Five years ago last September, Cornelia Otis Skinner, famous authoress, actress, monologist, and radio star, made her first appearance in Page Hall. State liked Miss Skinner, so, on April 3, Dramatics and Arts Council will again present the famous star to the students of State.

This mistress of all dramatic trades will portray her combined talents to State In the form of monologues. A true theatre artist arrives in Page direct from Broadway.

Bentley Wins Vice-Presidency

To Take Over Office A s Weinberg Resigns

But Mervyn McClintock, playing the part of the irate papa, steps Into the foreground with a forbid­ding hand. Edward is not good enough for his daughter so he In­vites another pension-seeking mu­sician to vie for Nina's hand.

Then Grieg's love life Is inter­rupt eil by the advent of another musician, Herr Bjornsen. Joe Pal­evsky as Bjornsen comes to visit Grieg.

During this visit, Grieg, his soul stirred by the beauty of the sur­rounding mountains, wanders out Into the countryside. In the course of his stroll, his weary feet seek a resting plnce and as ho lies down, sleep overtakes him and his dream "Peer Gynt" takes form.

Envisioning himself In the role of Peer Gynt, Grieg goes to the palace of lhe Mountain King, Bill Mallery. Here he gazes at the beauty of the king's daughter and succumbs to her charms. His passion cools, however, when she betrays in a dance her half animal character. Downcast, he turns away only to meet another fair damsel. Solvejg, Agnes Young, sings to him and he realizes that at last he has found his true love.

But when the Oriental dancer Anitra begins her song and dance his intentions begin lo waver. Just in time he remembers that he must be faithful to Solvejg and hastily leaves to avoid temptation.

Life cannot all be happiness even in a dream and Peer Gynt is called to the bedside of his dying mother. Solvejg cheers her saddened lover with a final song and Grieg awak­ens.

He returns to reality and his friends, thrilled with his dream, of­fer a festival In his honor. In the midst of all this gnyety, Otter ar­rives with the glad tidings that the pension has been granted. So papa Is thwarted, Grieg gets the girl and inspiration continues.
