Stokes Likes Student Cooperation; W A C State Fair

Optimistic About War Activities Slated for Feb. 6 ' Ry June Heath '

"I'm fascinated by them," r e ­marked the new Dean of Women who stopped gazing skyward long enough to communicate a welcom­ing smile; then she invited, "Just come to the window and watch."

After a few seconds of respectful silence during which three Army planes soared eastward out of sight, Miss Elleti Stokes officially said, "Hello." But her eyes still showed excitement and a wistful fondness for adventure . Apologetically she explained, "Airplanes really do fas­cinate me Although I've never ridden in one, I'd love to."

We noticed a pair of wings on her lapel which, she told us, was awarded for her work as a member of the Interceptor Command, the nearest she had gotten to air travel. Only recently has Miss Stokes stop­ped these activities, and she plans to resume them as soon as she feels "at home" as the new Dean of Women

Miss Stokes' has an avid interest in the war effort and is optimistic about the future of the War Ac­tivities Council. Having never attended a meeting of the Council previous to her appointment, the new Dean does not feel competent to act as advisor to the WAC im­mediately "However, I feel the Council should be aided by the

Dean of Women's Office, and I want to begin my duties soon. Dr. Jones is now acting as temporary chair­man." As soon as the semester is ended, Miss Stokes will be released from her teaching duties; then she feels she will be "well enough ac ­quainted to begin wholeheartedly."

During the few days that she has sat behind the large desk in her new office, Miss Stokes has found the friendliness and cooperation of the s tudents encouraging. "I fell when I accepted my appointment that I would have a very fine s tudent body to work with." she said. "Otherwise I would not have taken over the responsibility." In reply to a query as to how she felt as Dean, Miss Stokes replied sincerely and simply, "I like it very much."

This morning the new Dean will be able to "meet everyone" in her assembly speech. She told us en­thusiastically that 's just what her first desire is. She estimated that her present acquaintanceship is limited to about one- thi rd of the student body, and urged visitors to ccme to her office without special invitations.

Miss Stokes will also reveal her plans and expectations of the s tu ­dent body in this morning's as­sembly.

Forum To Hold

Quiz Program Forum is planning a "lie detector"

program for next semester at which time true and false s tatements will be made concerning the war. By pronouncing a s tatement true, false, or biased, a rough estimate may be obtained of one's knowledge of current events.

At the meeting Wednesday, Verna Snyder, '43, suggested that Forum supervise Americanization classes for new citizens. Shirley Wurz, '43, Speaker of Forum, says concerning this, "If we can see our way clear to conduct such classes, we would l)e cooperating with the community, which would please us very much. We should like to concentrate to a much greater extent on school and local activities next semester."

At present, Forum committees are doing research on Congress, De-Gaulle. Giraud. and the Republican Party.

Since this semester is nearly over, Miss Wurz urges that all people desiring credit for Forum to please send her a note next week enumer­ating their committee work so far.

ustroted Mop

In Art Exhibition Main feature of the art exhibi­

tion on display on the second floor of Draper Hall is an original illus­trated map showing salient features of Orange County dur ing the revo­lutionary period. Included also is the information which formed the basis for research. The whole dis­play was organized by the art d e ­partment, and is of interest to all students, especially those having social studies as t lv i r major.

Miss Grace Martin, Instructor in Art, is the designer of the map and Mr. W. J Embler. formerly of Middletown, Orange County, com­pleted the research and assembled the informative material. The printed map is now on sale in the Co-op.

An exhibition of ceramics will be held in the college library the second and third weeks of January . Students interested in taking De­sign and Ceramics are urged to attend. The pieces were made by Milne s tudents under the super­vision of Miss Martin.

Booths, Stands, Skit Ic t-nlertain Students 1" ' it important event of the

second mester will be the State Fair, sen, lulcd for Saturday eve­ning, February 6. This Fair, spon­sored by War Council, is to be a college-wide activity for the p u r ­pose of unifying the faculty and the student body, as well as to raise money for War activities on the campus.

Each of the eighteen g roup-houses will have charge of a con­cession, By Wednesday, final plans will be submitted for approval, thus enabling concession plans to get under way immediately,

Tentative plans include a bu r ­lesque show, kiss booths, weight guessing, pitching pennies, and hot dog and ice cream stands. Dr, Louis C. Jones, Assistant Professor of English, is offering two black puppies, six weeks old, as a prize for the most ingenious concession. Dr. Jones says, "These two black puppies are males whose names are Yipper and Yammer. The mother is a thoroughbred collie; the father, a traveling sa l e sman"

Booths will be set up in the lower corridor of Draper, in the Lounge, and in the Commons. The faculty will also have charge of concessions. Dr. Lester says. "We urge everyone to spend as little money as possible, to exercise orig­inality at the least possible cost. It would be wonderful if conces­sions could be set up without spending any money at all."

The highlight of the evening will probably be the skit, written and enacted by the faculty, which is to lie a take-off on the student body.

There will be no admission fee since sufficient money is expected from the patronizalion of the var­ious concessions.

Patricia Latimer, '44. replaces Joseph Tassoni, '45, as Co-chai r ­man with Dr. Caroline Lester. Tarsoni is leaving shortly for the United States Army. Assisting the committee are Florence Garfall and Surma Cooper, Sophomores.

Two Ao'ded to Sop homore Staff Two new Sophomore desk editors

have been added to the NEWS staff. They are Edna Marsh and Mary Sanderson, who up until this lime have acted as feature writers

The appointments were made by the NKWS board soon after they r e ­ceived the resignation of Gordon Buskin. There are now seven desk editors on the stall'.

The "oilier" students include medical students, Seniors hiking advanced R O.T.C and Juniors in the ERC who are pur­suing courses. Which ain't us

The above communique ought to put the dumper on all sueli rumors as "We might go tomorrow".

So what's going to happen to you'.' Well, the Army and Navy is goine, to contract with about 3,r>0 colleges and universities to furnish instruc­tion in special subjects which they deem necessary. This will include housing and "messing facilities" of the colleges. Those chosen will be in uniform, receive regular army

pay, and be governed by military discipline. Standards for academic proficiency will be established for continuation of training.

Varying with the nature of the technical tasks, the curricula will call for varying lengths of the period of training. The courses will also vary as to whether there are basic or advanced stages in a prescribed course which your p re ­vious training fits you to enter

After this, maybe you will be sent to Officers Training School

Or you might enjoy the life of a regular, normal draftee.

Or you might be sent on lo fur­ther technical work

Hut, each one ol these possibili­ties will came only after you have satisfactorily convicted the regular 13 weeks of basic training. And if you are over 22 years of age, y IU ere ineligible for this program, ex­cel)! for an advanced stage of technical training.

No Tax On Spirit Tin's is a pica l.o Stale College siutlriiis. It is

a pica because there is a situation here thai demands attention—now more titan ever.

In a lew weeks, a goodly percentage of the male students of this college will be leaving to enter a phase of life far different front auy-trt ng they have known before. The}' are leaving a mode of life lo which we tire all accustomed, a mode of life which they shall miss more and more, a mode of life which we who shall still be here for many weeks to conic do not appreciate.

Nearly every single Stale man in service who has come back to college has expressed his pleasure lor the days he has spent here and his regret that they are over, Nearly everyone of them litis also commented on the value and the significance of the bin aground and the associa­tions thai his college life gave hint.

Yel we who have the inestimable privilege of continuing oiw eduation in our present envi­ronment fail miserably to grasp the mean ng of Vs life thai is ours, We all go through the

motions ol college life; we go to classes, we see our friends, we take pari to some degree in collegiate activities. Hut we do not go far enough.

War Fronts by Feigenbaum

Russians Trap German Troops;

harrying the Ball' For All ies Russia is still carrying the ball

for the United Nations. Josef Stalin, voted the man of the year by Time Magazine, took everything that Hitler could give during the fall and early winter, and then or­dered his own armies to counter­attack. Somehow, somewhere, the the Red Army massed a huge r e ­serve army which launched a t re ­mendous counter-at tack while the Germans were still fighting in the streets of Stalingrad.

The Russians first encircled the Germans around Stalingrad, and then enveloped the German army which sought to break the trap from the west. A third drive was started in the Caucasian Mountains region and is making slow headway.

Velikie Luki. northwest of Mos­cow, fell to the attacking Russians who are continuing toward the L a t ­vian border . Should the Soviets succeed in reaching the Latvian border, the supply lines of the en ­tire Nazi army in Northern Russia will be severed.

Lord Strabolgi, writing for the United Press, estimates that the bulk of German reserves of 70 divi­sions have been sent to the Russian front because the Red Army has been inflicting heavy losses as well as capturing strategic positions. He says the German casualty rate on the Eastern front during the last

nine weeks of 1942 was higher than in the decisive battle on the West­ern front in 1918 which preceded the German collapse.

Weather conditions on the North African front has brought military action to a virtual standstill. Deep mud has prevented all armored units movement, and the mud will not dry for another five or six weeks.

Rommel is still retreating into Tunisia pursued by General B. L. Montgomery's British Eighth Army.

The Nazis in Tunisia are strong, ft is estimated that they have massed at least 100,000 men and possibly 3.000 planes. They'll be much stronger when and if the Afrika Korps joins them with be ­tween 35,000 and 40.000 seasoned desert fighters. The chances of thrusting a wedge between the two Axis forces before they meet seems remote at the moment.

General MacArthur reports that the extermination of the Japs on the Island of New Guinea is proceeding satisfactorily. Allied airmen are breaking up every Jap attempt to enforce their units on the island. Director Elmer Davis of the Office of War Information said reports in­dicated the Japanese were massing an armada in the Solomons but that bombers from General Mac-Arthur 's command had done "a

very good job on that fleet."

Notes and Half-Notes

All five of State College's music lovers turned out last night to hear a very worthwhile concert which was presented, incidentally, under great handicaps, unbeknownst to most of Ihe public.

.by Mary Slut lebaker-

:>f Edgar S Van it of the "Times-chorus was "ex-und the orches-

good." He r e -thc News critic,

shown by the Slate College

In the words Olinda, music cri Union" the girl's eeptionally line" Ira "surprisingly gretted, as did the lack of interest Albany public and students in such a presentation

The one weakness of the evening might be said to be the violins and the sopranos This weakness, however, was inure a ease of lack of quantity rather than quality. Also must be considered the un ­avoidable absence of male voices in the chorus (C'esl la guerre) .

Among the best of the orchestra selections were the fortunate choice of the opening number, the "Grand March" from "Aida", and the "Em­peror Waltz" which was played with great sincerity and technical skill under the capable direction

of Earle Snow. Mr Snow, by the way, deserves special praise for his arrangement of Franek's "Panis Angelicus" which held Ihe audience from beginning to end, and the presentation of the national anthem. Unfortunately, the delicate prosa-icness of Haydn was once again forced upon the audience.

The chorus ' group of Christmas songs was very moving. Especially should be lauded the Lancashire folk song, "Christmas day in the morning." which was sung with great spirit Their best group, however, were the Moussorgsky numbers, "Prayer from Boris Godu-now," and the "Chorus of Priest­esses from S a l a m m b o " The out­standing choral feature of the eve­ning was Elgin's "The1 S n o w " In this selection the chorus had full opportunity to demonstrate its pro­fessional skill in tune control and emotional interpretation This tone control was evident, in the beautiful "Peat- l ire smooring p r a y e r "

Personal praise goes to Harry Kensky's playing of the tympany and Jane Southwick's 'cello solos.

One of the gayest events of the year for this column was the reunion of the inmates of second floor front right; us, the more or less dashing Beyer, and Ensign EDWiN J. HOLSTEIN, back for a day or so awaiting future orders. ED recounted the usual interesting activities (between reminiscences) but offered an added attraction, describing the time when Kelly, of PTB and Bataan Nurse fame, spoke to the m i d d i e s -giving a blow by blow account of the exploits of his mosquito boat.

Contributing factorettes lo the evening's gaiety: Janet Baxter, the little girl who simultaneously changed her hair and her fortune; and Shirley Ford, ultra-at tractive "wow" girl of '46. . . .

FRANKLIN, awarded him the DISTINGUISHED FLYING CROSS "for extraordinary achievement in aerial flight in the New Guinea area." . . . Capt.

LETTERS TO SOLDIERS War Activities Council is sponsoring an extensive

drive to get everybody writing to at least one State soldier every week, and we think il is one of the best ideas coming out of the august body in a long lime.

You may be buying bonds, you may be working hard to make the State Fair a success, you may be deploring the general attitude of your classmates con­cerning the war. you may be flooding the place periodically with trite oratory, you may be building the tank he runs, you may even make poslers by the score Inn just remember that the soldiers are doing ihe dirty work ihe real work and your efforts and sacrilices are puny compared lo theirs.

When someone lakes lime out regularly to write a personal U Iter, filled with gay chit-chat of college "goings on , ' then a soldier knows that he is really being romcni'bercd- and it gives an indefinable lift. This may sound corny, hut you know how eagerly you always look for mail. A man can do an 'elluva' lot I H 1 1 " ' J " I J 'I' be thinks he has at least a few people wliii are sincerely interested in h i m - a n d what be­comes ol him

PRACTICAL RELIGION Now SUA. Newman, and llillel are college organiza­

tions that are meant to fill the needs of the inner man. spiritually speaking, and despite the apathy of some ol the enrolled members, they have great poten­tialities . This is not meant as a slam at any of these three, and let's get that settled before an ex­tremely formidable opponent starts getting all upset. All three have excellent leaders, doing swell jobs.

We respectfully suggest that SCA, Newman, and llillel get their members KM)', behind this letter-writing scheme, and thus help fill the needs of u lot "Praise the Lord," Whenever and however we wish.

Our Sermon is over.

STATE COLLEGE NEWS, FRIDAY JANUARY 8, 1943 PAGES

Sports

Chatter By

Pete Marchetfa

With the basketball schedule only one-third completed, the Eagles will start the new year under the tutelage of Coach Harry Grogan. This is still another change imposed upon State College by the war.

MAA must be congratulated for the way it took this hurdle in its stride. No time was lost. On Mon­day morning MAA learned that Coach G. Elliott Hatfield had been ordered to report to Chapel Hill. On Monday noon, MAA and the faculty Athletic Council met and made its decision. MAA Cooperates

The willingness with which MAA and other members of the student body cooperated with the adminis­tration in taking over ihe Gym classes is indicative of the way State College students are taking the war and its consequences. We are postive that the Gym classes of 1943 will be as spirited and bene­ficial as they have been thus far, and that they will meet with the approval of both the Army and Navy.

The basketball schedule was a r ­ranged so (lexibly that the campaign may be discontinued at any time. However, Owen Bombard, president of MAA, promises that the athletic governing body will make every attempt to maintain intercollegiate competition. Only when no other solution is possible, will this single remaining varsity sport be dropped.

Thus the 1942-43 athletic program has already survived two severe-trials: it fought lor its existence in September and is now smoothly functioning despite the change in staff in mid-season. The sports program of the college, like the male students of the college who at in reserves, is living day by day. never knowing what tomorrow holds in store. Hatfield Says Farewell

In saying farewell to the basket­ball players last Monday. Lt. Hat­field expressed his regrets at leav­ing State College. Both MAA and the basketball team presented him with gifts, in appreciation of his services. In thanking the men for the gifts, the former coach replied: "The best gift you can give me is to beat RPI next Friday nighl."

The principal trait which charac­terized the Hallicld-coached Stale teams was the tendency to fight to the finish. In every game, whether won or lost. I he Purple and Gold men were in there lighting, and giv­ing all they had until the final whistle blew.

JV s Play Siena

lomorrow Night State's J V basketball squad,

after four and one-half weeks ol inactivity will play four games in Ihe seven days between tomorrow and the start of exams Tomorrow the Indians from Siena will send their JV's to Page Hall lo play Ihe preliminary lo ihe State Brook­lyn Poly game. Four days later on Jannuary 13, the Stale Jayvees will seek to avenge the early season 7t;-7r> defeat at the hands of ABC Afler a two day rest, the Eaglets will have another chance against RPI's yearlings who rang up one of Slate's three cli feats.

To date, Coach Bombard's charges have yet lo emerge victorious from a game, having lust to the three above mentioned learns. However, after intensive practice1 sessions, ihe J.V squad seems very likely to win at least one of these next four games

Hatfield E Varsity Plays Coach Hatfield Leaves for Navy

Enlists In Navy;

Grogan to Coach G. Elliott Hatfield, athletic d i ­

rector and teacher at State College for over six years, left last Tuesday in order to begin active service in the Navy. Coach Hatfield received a commission as a Lieutenant (s. g.) during the Christmas recess.

The sudden depar ture of Coach Hatfield, coining so unexpectedly, left MAA and the Administration with a great problem, concerning the whole athletic program. An emergency meeting of MAA was held with the depart ing coach last Monday in Dr. Sayles' office in order to decide what should be done in regard lo the situation. From this meeting came the an ­nouncement that Harry Grogan, athletic director of the Milne school, would take over the job of coaching State 's inter-collegiate basketball squad, and have nominal charge of the physical education program. The actual carrying out of this program is to be done by student leaders, selected by MAA for their leadership and sense of responsibility. The In t ra -Mura l program has not been affected.

Coach Hatfield came to State in 1930 from Union College. He has here been both athletic director and, for a short time. Instructor in History. From Ohio State Univer­sity he obtained his B. S. in Edu­cation, M. A., and Ph. D., the last obtained only last year. Previous to his coming to State, he coached and directed the athletic programs at Lowell (Wyoming) High School, Elgin Junior College. Dakota Wes-leyan University, Rochester Uni ­versity, and Union College.

Although youthful in both age and coaching experience, Grogan has already proven at Milne that he has the qualities necessary for a successful coach. He has built a team which promises to hold its own against the larger schools which it is playing this year. Coach Grogan scheduled these larger schools with the remark that he didn't want a winning season if it had to be against weak competition.

Potter Takes Lead

In l-M League The intramural basketball set'son

was resumed last Tuesday with several changes resulting in the standings.

Potter Club's 34-24 win over the Ramblers in the first game of the evening pushed the latter from the undefeated ranks and left the vic­tors in undisputed possession ol first place Leaving no doubt as lo their strength, they led all the way and managed to increase their 18-14 halftime lead in the final quar ter Miller and Woodworth took scoring honors lor Potter with 8 points apiece while Diugman garnered 13 for the losers.

In Ihe first overtime game of the season. the SLS sepiad finally downed the KDK team by a 32-30 score Both teams started out slowly, with the winners holding a 12-9 lead al the end of the second quarter . The1 tempo, however was speeded up in Ihe final stanzas SLS found itself handicapped dur ­ing the last six minutes, when Guarinci turned his ankle and was forced to leave the game. Willi iu> substitutes available, the team car­ried on with four men and oittscored their opponents 8-ti in ihe over­time to carry oil a hard earned victory

The varsity quintet reopens its schedule this Saturady when Brook­lyn Polytechnical Institue invades Page Hall. As has been the case throughout the year, MAA Press Bureau has failed to obtain in­formation regarding the opponent, but other sources disclose the fact that they have been none too suc­cessful this year. Last June 's grad­uation and the Iransferrance to Niagara of Yesavich, a s tandout player whom State will face later, left BPI weak in comparison to their usual strength.

This condition plus the acqui­sition of a new coach, new tactics, and new spirit should give State an excellent chance to score its second victory. Those who have seen the recent practice sessions share the squad's enthusiasm, for it seems the days of the "figure eight" are over, and the fast breaking collegiate style of ball is to make its debut at State this week.

Coach Grogan has forwarded no starting line up as yet, but little will be ventured in predicting it to be the same as in State's previous con­tests

The Statesmen have two other games before another schedule in­terruption due lo examinations. Next Wednesday they will be visited by Middleburg for the first lime in several years. Middleburg has played fair ball up lo date, so this too should be a hard fought game.

Saturday, the 15tl\ RPI, victim of the Eagles once this year, will appear here for a return engage­ment. Though they lost Iwo sen­iors by graduation, one of whom was Hecht, standout performer in their earlier defeat, RPI will be tough and vengeful from start to finish.

Resuming play after exams, Ihe Eagles will face Union, who played their opener this week, at Schenectady This game is sched­uled for Feb. 3.

MAA and WAA wish to announce their annual sports carnival which will lake place immediately after tomorrow's game with BPI. Every­body is invited lo attend and enjoy dancing and other amuse­ments. There will he contests and games including bingo, ping-pong ball blowing, turtle races, and others,

Owen Bombard. Pres. of MAA, and "Win" Jones, Pres. of WAA. promise that this carnival will lie even heller than last years

Freshman Sports Writers Freshmen men and women inter­

ested in working in the Sports De­partment of the Stale College NEWS may sign their names on a list lo be- posted outside the Publications Office on Monday.

Officially the WAA winter sports season opened the week after Thanksgiving vacation. This, how­ever, is only according to the written record. In performance the winter season has yet to begin since very little has been accom­plished in regard to the three main features of this season. These are the bowling league, the basketball tourney, and the ping-pong tournament. Let's see what has been done concerning each of these.

Last, year the WAA bowling tourney was the most successful feature of the sports program. Also last year the bowling tourney be­gan the second week of December. This year it will not get underway until February. Only the cap­tains have been chosen.

The basketball tourney is still in a formative stage. Nothing definite has been accomplished. Yet last year games had been played by December 12. No Ping-Pong?

Last year we had a very suc­cessful ping-pong tournament; this year one has not even been planned. We wonder why not? We have an extremely enthusiastic group of woman ping-pong fans. They should be given an opportunity to display their ability.

We know that it's easy to crit i­cise, but we also feel that there's a time and place for criticism and that this is it. WAA is not de­livering as active a sports program as the women of State should have. Every organization which is supported by Student Associa­tion owes a duty to the student body. WAA receives slightly un ­der a thousand dollars each year. This is quite a bit of money for the lukewarm type of sports pro­gram which has been offered this year.

Efficiency Missing There seems to be a general lack

of efficiency in the organization. Things should be completed on schedule. The tennis tourney eould have been completed, if play­ers had been made to forfeit missed games. WAA needs less red tape and more red blood

Past performances prove that tournaments are the most popular features of the sports setup at Stale. Yet WAA ignores this de ­mand. Rivalry and the spirit of competition create interest. Why doesn't WAA promote a swimming meet'.'

Every other year WAA has spon­sored a fall banquet. There was none this year. True, it's a small matter but typical of the general condition of WAA this year.

Half the year has gone, but half remains WAA can mend its ways and give Stale Ihe lint' program which il is capable of presenting. We hope' thai it will do so
