PAGE 6 STATE COLLEGE NEWS, FRIDAY MAY 7, 1943 Brock and Hincs To Head Guides The office of the Dean of Women has released the appointment of Herbert Brock, '44, and Ruth Hines, '45, as Student Guide Co-Chairman' for 1943-44. Dr. Stokes explained that because of the shortage of men in the class of '45, it was necessary to select a man from the incoming Senior class as one of the chairmen. This appointment of a Senior the customary "Junior Guides" to necessitates the change in tile from "Student Guides". The duty of Guides is to meet and escort the freshmen in their first week of college. Each Guide has three or four "freshmen sisters" or "brother" to whom they write bafore the semester begins, describing State and its extra-class activities. There will be a list posted on the bulletin board outside of the Dean of Women's office for Student Guide volunteers to sign up. Dr. Stokes says, "More women Guides will be needed for next year. All students interested please sign as soon as possible". A quota will be selected from the list of volunteers. These students will be informed of their duties be- fore the end of the semester. Guides this year have assumed additional duties by assisting at present with freshmen interviews and escorting prospective students to the various faculty members. Senior Pictures Due May 15 Frances Bourgeois, '43, Director of the State College Press Bureau has announced that all Seniors must have their pictures in to Press Bu- reau before May 15. This is necessary if the Seniors wish notices put in their home- town newspapers about graduation and contracts. S C A Office Coo/s Off After 200 Degree Heat Last Saturday the SCA-Newman- Hillel office was destroyed by hot steamer from a broken valve under the Commons. The valve broke about 4:30 A. M. Saturday morning, but was not dis- covered by the janitors till 9 A. M. the same morning. Since the win- dow was closed, the steam had very little outlet and the office had reached a temperature of 200 de- grees at the time of the discovery. A great part of the SCA library was either watersoaked or burned by the steam. The walls were blistered and the paint burned from the desk lops. Fortunalelv the SCA ballots were in the steel file cabinet, which was left intact. It will be necessary to refurnish and redecorate the entire office, but it is doubtful if this will be done till next year. Alumni Pledge Blanks Ready for Class of '43 Jane Edmunds, '43, has announced that alumni pledge cards are now available for members of the Senior Class. This year, because of the war. only the women are asked to pledge. These subscriptions are for the purpose of paying for the construc- tion of Sayles Hall and the main- tenance of both Alumni Residence Halls. The usual amount requested is $100, payable in full or over a period of five or ten years. For convenience, each contributor may chose her own date for payment. On Friday, May 14, at 4 P.M., the Alumni will give a tea for the Seniors in Farrell Mansion. The captains, whose duties are to distribute cards to each Senior, are Shirley Coddington, Flora M. Gas- pary, Madge Sinclair, Rita Hickey and Barbara Kerlin. AD Presentation Predicated Ratio for Next Year Slated May 21 Nine Women for Every Male The Advanced Dramatics play, Ladies in Retirement, scheduled for presentation in Page Hall on May 21, is now in advanced stage of pro- duction. Miss Agnes E. Futterer, Assisstant Professor of English, and director of the Percy and Denham play, says "It is shaping up very nicely." The east, comprised entirely of students from the Advanced Dra- matics class, includes such veterans as Rhona Ryan, Trece Aney, Lois Hampcl, Mary Studebaker, Marjorie Breunig, and Harold Ashworth. The play is essentially a melo- drama, though not of the "Curse You, Jack Dalton" variety. Miss Aney plays a murderess, Misses Studebaker and Breunig two mad sisters, Miss Ryan a lady who "gets around", Miss Hampel a flirt, and Mr. Ashworth a two-faced schemer. This play has been performed on Broadway and in the movies by top- notch actors. Admission may be gained by stu- dent tax tickets. Budget Survey The Student Association, at the Budget Session last Friday, voted to have the Student Tux lowered to $12. This reduction is possible as a result of the $2,024.45 decrease in the 1934-44 budget, as well as the anticipated surplus. The budget was passed with little comment and no alteration. The STATE COLLEGE NEWS, D&A, WAA, Infirmary Fund, Student Council, and the Freshmen Hand- book sought slight increases. The other activities all took cuts with the exception of the Literary An- nual, Secretarial Contingent, Treas- urer's Bond, and the Press Bureau, which kept their present status. "By Jane Heath - If Wednesday's showing of high school seniors applying for college is indicative of the trend of next year's freshman class, the ratio of women to men will be 9 to 1. One- eighteenth of the women, we pre- dict, will submit to a vigorous glamorization program outlined by sophisticated roommates. Dr. Croas- dalb will prescribe monocles for at least five per cent of the women be- fore the Veronica Lakes receive their mid-semester grades. Next year's remaining upperclassmen are expected to lose fraternity pins to at least one-ninth of the frosh women, if indeed we can predict at all. A Marine Corps Reserve mem- ber whistled and lamented his June graduation at this particular one- ninth. Said he, "Moving-Up Day will certainly mean Moving-Out for me. I should like to stay for that!" Predictions for the man-power of the Class of '47 are not encouraging. Even worse than the position of its rival class will be the Class of '47's, according to Wednesday's survey. Shortly after their eighteenth birth- days, both men interviewed Wednesday expect 1A classifica- tions and invitations from their draft boards. Since those inter- viewees will leave before January, the second semester will find the Class of '47 manless, if, of course, the showing of two days ago is an accurate representation. Berton Feldman of Troy and George Frank of Scotia were the men interviewed. With a brush cut and pocketed hands, Feldman pon- dered the present set-up of State. One hand came out of his pocket long enough to rub his chin and pat the brush cut when he talked about the overflow of women. Frank, em- bryonic BMOC with a wide grin, slated, "The ratio? It doesn't bother me in the least." Among the women was a trio from Nott Terrace with a long list of extra-curricular activities and a comfortable honor roll record. They were Eleanor Williams, Virginia Droms and Irene Prazak whose in- terests would commandeer the en- tile faculty's instruction and mem- bership in almost every extra-class organization. Jeanne Cavanagh was the stu- dent predicted to be the pin-wearer of next year's frosh. GKORGE I). JKONEY, Prop.

Kunz Joins Myskania In Impressive Ritual The large crowd of students, fac­

ulty, and guests gathered in Page Hall auditorium to witness the t ra­ditional Moving-Up exercises saw not only the eight black-gowned members of Myskania rise from their chairs, but George Kunz, a member of the armed forces of the United States, who was tapped for the campus leadership society last year. As often as possible dur ing this year, chairs have been loft for the five absent members, but this morning only four were vacant. Suspense centered around the ques ­tion as to whether Kunz would tap and as to whether the other chairs would be filled or left vacant.

This year the roster of members has been reduced. The last Mys­kania lo have ten members was that of 1SM0-41. This year (be women outnumber the men eight to two.

Bombard Opens Ceremony Owen Bombard opened the cere­

monies with a slaw, deliberate walk and escorted back Kalhcrine Mar­garet Herdnian, new President of WAA.

Mildred Mattice was next in line lo tap, but instead Emily Blasiar returned with Patricia Grace Lat i ­mer, newly chosen President of the Student Association. Since it has been customary during the last few years for the present President to lap his successor, speculation was rife as lo whether Miss Latimer had gained the office. Miss Latimer was this year 's Prom Queen and has been Secretary. Miss Matties was slill next in line, but Lois Hafloy named Edith Trelcase Aney. Presi­deni of Dramatic and Art Council and active member of Advanced Dramatics, Miss Matlice's turn had come and she r e lumed to the stage wilb the first man. Frederick Ar­lington Shoemaker, Presideni of the Class of 11)44.

Kunz Taps Domann Muriel Scovell followed next and

will he succeeded by .lane! Kalhryn liaxlcr on Ihe NEWS as well as on Myskania. George Kunz then broke ranks lo add a sixth member, Mary Agnes Domann, who will serve as editor of the Pedafiuoue and who has been active in WAA. Miss Blasiar again tapped and this lime >topped out to return with llunico Adlyn Baird, an active member of Advanced Dramatics and also new President of Student Christian Assn. D.aiald Vanas followed Miss Blasiar I i select George Bertram Kiley whir1! further increased speculation as lo ihe presidential election. Kiley will direct the remaining MAA ac­tivities during the coining year,

Elizabeth Harden brought Ihe counl lo nine by calling Nancy Jean WIU'IIX, new Presideni of Music Council and student director of this \car ' s operetta Winifred Jones then left Ihe stage lo bring hark the NEWS' Mary Kli/.alielh Slongcl, wh i will act with Miss Baxter as Co-Editor.
