ETS W.ll Give Teacher Exams
Reading through the Frosh Handbook, one would be inclined to believe that tlie College traditions were evolved throughout the 109 years of Slate College history. However, it is a different story.
At Student Assembly on January It), 1917, Stanley Heason '111 made a plea lor more college spirit and student cooperation. He contrasted the spirit at Cornell with that, at State and presented the following motion: "Resolved, that in all general assemblies of students, such as Morning Exercises, Student Assembly, etc., the ire liinan class shall remain sealed until the upix'r classes have passed from the room."
The motion was passed and for the first time in tlie history ol Slate, freshmen remained seated until all iipperelassnien had left the auditorium.
Prosh-Soph Hivalry had been existent at Slate lor many years but held little significance by 1915. SA in February of ltlltl was monopolized with arguments and discussions for Inter-class rivalry. It was
pointed out that Rivalry would make freshmen feel more a.s if they were attending college rather than a "teacher factory." By Moving-Up Day a program had been Inaugurated along with many of the present restrictions on freshmen.
"Wake up freshmen! Wake up Sophomores! Don't you realize You're Class Rivals'.'" appeared in the October 21, 1921, issue of tlie News. A p p a r e n t 1 y Rivalry had reached another ebb at State. Today's revised plans present, little chance ol such a condition.
Freshman Orientation started as far back as 1921. Anne Pierce, then Dean of the College, called an afternoon orientation meeting on October li. Tills one meeting has increased lo weekly meetings lor all entire semester.
Our modern traditions are expanded versions of the first resolutions of SA in 1917. The Invisible

Dissipation . . The purpose of Men's Athletic Associa
tion, as stated in the Freshman Handbook, is "to foster and develop athletics for all men at the college." Last Wednesday night, MAA held an open forum to discuss just how far short of this goal it was falling. The situation that came to light was one that reflected inefficiency, lack of cooperation and absence of interest.
MAA, constitutionally, is set up similarly to WAA. Every male enrolled at State is a member, and is entitled to participate in MAA-sponsored intramurals. A few intercollegiate activities come under the MAA budget, but its main purpose is to develop athletics "at the college." Then why this lack of interest and participation? Why the downhill slide while WAA has more participants than it can provide equipment for? The answers may be found Wednesday night at the Student Union when the second open forum is held. It is at this future meeting that the fate of intramurals at State will be decided. Let's look at the issues:
It is reported that participation in MAA-sponsored intramurals has been sharply declining while the male enrollment at State has considerably increased. This drop is accredited to the uneven, often overbearing competition between intramural teams. The purpose of Varsity athletics may be to win. The purpose of intramurals is to give those who want it a chance to compete. Participating teams are sponsored by fraternities, dormitories, commuters, and other independent groups. Since the power con-

JEOPARDY OF A JOURNALIST With more than a little malice in his eye, reports
have it that Bill Small, the Sophomore Class President, is loking for one Ray Wolfe. You will remember that Ray threw into his column a couple weeks ago the thought that the freshmen weren't very hot-doggy. Since that time, the Red Devils have awakened from their previous lethargy. Why there were even twenty-five freshmen at one time in the Snack Bar one night this week—a new record, according to Wrinn, Rock, McManus and Kelley, the maitres d'hotel of the lower regions of Brubacher. From an unimpressive looking crew has emerged a promising class. . . . By such threads hang the fate of rivalry!
BLOSSOMING CAMPUS CHEST CAMPAIGN In another week, the big Campus Chest Campaign
will be off. Misses Verven and Vigilante are asking for help from all of you so that the Chest Campaign doesn't go flat. Remember, you have an obligation for the uplifting of society.
MEAD CUPS By this time, everyone has probably noted that the
cafeteria is using a new type of cup, a miner weird colored plastic one. After experimentation, we have found them to be more than satisfactory. One ol our heavy-eyed friends nearly burned his eye out though when he tried to quaff some of Myrtle's brew too quickly in too light a cup. The Medical Office quickly fixed him up by bandaging the third toe on his left foot. This remedy, used for ague, burns, and leprosy, has been found to be most effective. Reminds me of a story. . . .

Council Releases Debate Schedule, For State s Team
Novices Start" Season In Series With RPI
The Debate Council has planned its debate schedule for the coming' semester, states Richard Shaper '54. President. The schedule will open with a series of twelve debates with RPI for novice teams beginning Saturday, October 17. Similar debate series with Union College and the West Point varsity and junior varsity teams are arranged, which will provide a total of more than fifty debates for beginners.
The first major tourney will be conducted at the University of Vermont late in November at which four experienced and four beginners teams will represent State. The University of Pittsburgh tourney in December and the Hamilton College tourney for novice teams, also in December, are other events on this semester's schedule. The Council will also sponsor a series of high school assembly debates at Broadalbin High School to begin December 31.
Shaper requests all beginners to attend one meeting next week at one of the following times: Wednesday, October 14 at 2:30, 3:30 or 4:30 p.m. in Room 140; Thursday, October 15 at 2:80 p.m. in Room 146, or at 3:30 oi 4:30 p.m. in Room 140.
Shaper also asks that everyone interested in this year's topic, "Resolved: That the U. S. Should Adopt a Policy of Free Trade," attend a model debate at 8 p.m. Wednesday, October 14, in Brubacher.
As fifty-lour prospective debaters have signed up for tryotits, and thirteen veteran debaters remain from last year. Shaper believes that Debate Council will have an unusually successful season.
0HB On Ik* Aide By FRITZ CRUMB
A week later, we can all look back on last Saturday, and say that everyone seemed to have had a good time, but as a finish for the day, the Soph skit didn't live up to expectations.
The script was weak, but this needn't have been a real handicap. The worst fault seemed to lie in the cast itself. Lines were shaky, cues1 were slow, and perhaps worst of all, the song lyrics were weak. Even Ross Hack, who did a good job, had to start over. He managed to make it funny, however, which helped ease what could have been a bad spot.
There was a lack of tempo to the whole show, which showed up tno pun) in the over long piano Intro, and the opening by the chorus. This la.st was a good number, but seemed to us to be too long. The rest of the show dragged because everyone seemed to be trying to think of what line came next. Things picked up when Hack made his entrance, but toward the end, things seemed to go to pieces altogether.
There were some really funny bits, as with the draft card and the two frosh who slunk in and ordered the cokes, but it wasn't enough to save the whole works. For all of the above it was tun, and we want to give special mention to the chorus. They showed an interest in what was going on tnat we have seldom seen in a musical put on in Page. Let's hope that the next bunch can do as well in this respect.
Next Tuesday marks the opening of the '53-'54 Season and we are premised a good bill by Nan Light-hall and Jim Thompson. Both piays are comeaies, we are told, and if our scouts haven't loused, it ought to be a "real nice clam-bake." Are you going to be there? Your money helps to put these plays on, why not go and see what you are getting for your money?
Speaking of A.D., there will be tryotits for the third set of plays this next week. Don Duclo.w and
Arline Yanks are looking for people who feel in an acting mood. Don's Is a romantic comedy, and Arllne's will be a straight drama.
Gripe for the week: is there anyone on the campus who would like to donate a new casting bulletin board? It has gotten to the point where you have to push aside notices that are months old in order to find what you are looking for. And until someone does see fit to present us with a new board, how about taking down your old and out-of-date sheets? It will give someone else a clear space to put up theirs.
It looks as if Dr. Pettit has done it again. This year's E.D. play is to be the "Trojan Women." Remembering last year's "Everyman," this ought to be well worth seeing. Keep the date open.

This energetic group decided a t this meeting t h a t it was time tha t we had a "big n a m e " band come to Sta te for one of the more prominent annua l occasions.

State Soccer Team To Play Host To Bridgeport in Home Opener; At Beverwyck Field Tomorrow Q**m *Jke Sideline*
By HOB ASIIFIELD
Last Wednesday night, an open MAA Forum was held to discus-, and we think they termed it. r ightly, " the dea th of lnt ramurals ." MAA includes all the men enrolled at S ta te College and fills the same capacity as WAA does for the women. The only difference is that WAA is active.
It was surprising news to those a t tending the forum tha t par t icipation in the men's IM leagues has dropped some 57 per cent since 1950. This decrease a t the time when the enrollment has steadily increased seems incredible. What then has happened to MAA and its program?
To put it simply. 4 men can ' t do the work for a group which includes 734 men. These 4 men are the officers of MAA and seem to be the only ones who know the what's, Where's and why's of the organization. As a result, ln t ra murals have reached a miserable low.
There is not enough interest among the men to set up teams which will remain stable throughout the season, except, (hat is, far the frat teams, which have their prestige to uphold. The consequence is tha t the I fiat teams arc the only ones battling a t the end of the season for championship honors. Very seldom have other teams upset this theorem. Some might ask what is wrong with this. Can it lie helped if Ihe I'm Is have the best teams?
W h a t is wrong is thai too many of the weaker teams concede victories to these top teams through forfeits because they figured they would lose anyway.
We like the suggestion of initiating a league or leagues with teams of nearly equal ability (if this were possible) and no i ra-ternity teams to be entered a.s such. Each frat would have an opportunity to show its wares at the end of the season when there would be a tournament to deride who should hold the frat cup. Actually a tournament would provide for each frat team to be involved in as many decisions as if it were i" a regular league,
Next Wednesday niglil MAA will bold its second open session at S p.m. in Brubacher. Men, if you have any interest in the future of in t ramural sports—please a I t e n il this meeting.

Booters Trounce Plattsburg, 5-3; Lose To Queens College By 3-1
Joe Garcia's Varsity Soccer team will play its first home game tomorrow alternoon at BeverwycK Park when they tackle a tough Bridgeport eleven in an effort to bring their season's record over the .500 mark. The State booters have split two games so far this season, bowing to Queens College in last Saturday's opener, and edging Plattsburg State Teachers College by 5-3 at Plattsburg.
In Wednesday's tilt at Plattsburg, Garcia received two pleasant surprises in the outstanding performances of Al juederman and Don Canonica, neither of whom were figured for starting berths at the beginning of the season. Lederman, a freshman who just came out for the team last week, scored two big goals while Canonica, along with ;he Lindberg brothers, sparged the team of defense. W. Lindberg, Snyder Score
Other scoring in this game, which was, incidentally, Albany's seventh straight victory over Piatlsburg in soccer, was accounted for by Bill Lindberg, who scored two goals
penalty shots, and Don Sny-

To Hie Kdilor: Rivalry needs defining. Most
important, Rivalry is not a ha te campaign; al though some of us seem to think so. Neither is Rivalry an excuse for the Sophs to ride roughshod over the frosh.
On the contrary. Rivalry is a method of organizing and uniting (be freshman class. It is a way for the frosh to select their leaders and to unite, a.s they did in last Saturday's Softball games, in a common purpose. At the same time, to the Sophs, Rivalry is a way to coordinate and strengthen their class functions and government.
The thrills, hard work and rewards of life at State arc introduced to the frosh in Rivalry. Therefore, Rivalry is, above all, an interesting and effective method of getting accustomed to life at State.
Thank you, Joe Taggart 7>7.
Basketball Practices Set For Newcomers
Coach Merlin Hathaway announces thai basketball practice will begin an Tuesday, October 13, for all freshmen and transfer students wishing to go out for Varsity or Junior Varsity Rusk el bill I. The practice sessions will be held in the Page. Hall ( iymnasium at 4:30 p.m. in the afternoon.
These practices will be held for the benefit nl freshmen and friius-Irrs only. .IIHI all upperclassmen or veterans will mil be admitted.

Rivalry Softball Taken By Sophs
Despite the spirit displayed by the horde of Red Devils of '57 last Saturday, the Yellow Jackets of '56 showed their superiority on the Softball diamond as they triumphed in both athletic events. The frosh saved face in the fact that , due to the quanti ty and quality of their spirit, they captured one point for rivalry cheering.
The women's game started in a helter-skelter fashion with the errors being as numerous as the hits. The frosh got off to an early lead, but the Sophs soon caught and passed them. The final inning provided a tight finish to the loosely-played game when the Red Devils tied the score in the upper half only to lose a.s the Sophs scored in their half to win, 15-14. Soph Defense Deciding Factor
The boys' game was a complete contrast in tha t the Sophs' experience was the deciding factor. The steady pitching of Gerry Matt i -more, backed up by the impregnable defense of '56, kept the frosh off balance throughout the entire game. The bats of '56 pounded away continuously at the slants of the frosh hurlers, Bernie Theobold and Ed Walsh, to make the score a resounding 9-1. The big blows were four-base wallops by Mattimore and his catcher, Nick Cassevoy.
The only offensive attack frosh were able to muster up squelched when a drive off the of Cliff Davis was called foul.
Even though the frosh are behind in rivalry points, 4-1, they still have retained their spirit and last Saturday 's events brought to a Ditch the strong feeling of spirit between the classes which will undoubtedly continue throughout Rivalry.
The next events in the athletic aspect of rivalry will conic on October 17. when the boys clash in football and the girls in soccer.
Considerable opinion on the cont inuation and improvement of the in t ramura l system at State was voiced a t a Wednesday night M.A.A.-sponsored open forum on l s d

That elm has stood over State since its inception 1(1!) years ago. It numbers back over 150 years. Not only is it a landmark in Albany, but it is the oldest elm in the Eastern section of our country.
