Dr. "Tommy"to Teach at Cornell; Plans Book on Racial Folklore

by June Haushalter This June State will say goodbye

to a man who has been on the col­lege faculty for twenty-five years —Dr. Harold W. Thompson, pro­fessor of English. Dr. "Tommy" came here in September, 1915, on his first teaching job and has been teaching ever since, except for the two years when he was on leave of absence.

The first of these "vacations" came In the school year 1925-26 when he went to Scotland on a Guggen­heim grant. In the summer of 1927 he was awarded this fellowship again. The result of these years of study abroad was Scottish Man of Feeling, published in 1931. His other leave of absence came last year when Dr. Tommy, the recipient of a Rockefeller grant for that year, fin­ished writing his book on the folk­lore of New York state, Body, Boots, and Britches.

In his years of teaching here, Dr. Thompson has tried to combine lit­erature with history and music,—"to cut across departmental lines," as he says, "a thing which many of the faculty do." His favorite course is American folk literature, where the students do original research work. He has used a great deal of this student research material in writ­ing his latest book. "In a way," says Dr. Tommy, "Body, Boots, and Britches is a State college book."

Not only does this course teach students how to do original research work, but also teaches them how to get acquainted with their own sec­tion of the country.

Next September will see Dr. Thompson a professor of English at

Cornell. He will specialize in Amer­ican literature and folk literature, but will also have a sophomore course in introduction to Shakespeare, and a seminar for graduate students in Scotch literature.

At Cornell Dr. Thompson will have fewer hours of teaching arid conse­quently more time to work on his new book, which will show the folk­lore of New York state along racial lines. He is also under contract to write a book about the Niagara river for a series on American rivers. Carl Carmer's Tlie Hudson is one of the books in the series.

Kelly to Induct Student Leaders

For Association Assembly to Feature Report

On Student Finances; Smith Will Speak

Mr. E. L. Cooper, Treasurer of Finance Board, will report today in assembly on the financial status of State College for the present fiscal year. Lloyd Kelly, retiring Student Association president, will install his successor, Merrill Walrath, and other officers for the 1940-41 term, Ralph Tibbetts, '42, vice-president, and Don Vanas, '43, secretary.

"We wish to offer the thanks of the Student Association to Louise Hessney, '40, capable editor of the Directory, which was issued earlier this year than ever before," Kelly commented. "We also want to thank Mr. Cooper who took over the big job of association treasurer when Mr. Hidley became ill last Decem­ber."

Property Inventory Stanley Smith, '41, will give the

first perpetual inventory of all prop­erty owned by organizations receiv­ing support through the Student Association. As planned, this inven­tory will be checked once a year. At the end of the year, the depreciation on the items is computed and the new value listed. The revised list of student property will then be pre­sented the Student Association.

Records on File The records show a description,

identifying number, and disposition of any articles that are sold, de­stroyed, or discarded during the year. A duplicate record will be maintain­ed In Finance Board files. The as­sociation thus has an accurate mov­ing record of its property, and in­dividual leaders will be held respon­sible. If this report is not ready for the meeting today, it will be posted on the bulletin board as soon as the organizations complete their inven­tory reports.

In addition, Kelly makes the sug­gestion that the Student Association should at least consider the advisa­bility of using advertisements as the basis of paying for next year's di­rectory. The plan this year of sell­ing the directory to the students has proved successful. Under the new provision, competition for advertise­ments among the college publications will be unnecessarily increased,

Merrill L. Walrath, '41, newly-chosen Student Association Presi­dent who will assume his duties after inauguration at the close of this morning's assembly.

Dramatics Class Will Stage Annual Spring Presentation

Purple and Gold Cover For Frosh Handbook

The Freshman Handbook for the class of '44 will sport a gold cover, with the school seal done in purple on the front, according to Edwin Holstein, '42, editor of the Handbook.

"Halfstein" went on to say that with the exception of color there will be little change in next year's book. The most notice­able????? change will be In the Student Association constitution, the only tangible reminder of this year's stormy business sessions.

"The Handbook is presented by the Junior class and the college to the incoming Freshman class to help acquaint them with the customs and traditions of dear old State"—With this noble dec­laration our hero turned over and went back to sleep.

Myskania Taps Ten Members In Suspense-Filled Ceremony

The rite and dignity that accom­panies the tapping of a new Mys­kania returned to Page hall for a few fleeting moments last Friday. In an unprecedentedly streamlined ceremony, Myskania chose its suc­cessors.

Frank Kluge opened the proceed­ings. An expectant hush fell over the auditorium as he moved around the aisles in long, easy strides and tapped Roy McCreary. In rapid or­der Kluge was succeeded by Wilson, Kelly, Howe, Kowalsky, Sullivan, Trainor, Simmons, Freedman, and Balrd who tapped Murray, Smith, Kusak, Ague, Walrath, Dower, Mil­ler, Haller, and Beers respectively.

Alter Balrd had returned with Beers, Kluge stepped out again. The tension in the auditorium which had relaxed suddenly increased, only to ebb again as Kluge circled the stage and returned to his place.

At no time did the ceremony re­semble the excruciatingly dreary procedure of the year before. At its conclusion, ten happy Juniors stood upon the stage. Their joy contrasted sharply with the osten­sible passivity of the tappers. Only a half smile now and they betrayed the fact that the rite was as emo­tional to the tappers as to the tap­ped.

The ten new members of Mys­kania and their school activities In order of their tapping, are as fol­lows:

Blitzkriegem Attempt

Sabotage of Pedagogue

Blitzkrieg hits Waterford! Ten barges sink in harbor. 1940 Peda­gogues among the missing!!

In Albany, business manager Brophy turned pale. His jaw fell. His hands trembled us he reached for the telephone, He called the publishers. The books had posi­tively left for Albany the night be­fore.

Brophy was tearing his hair. The books were promised for Wednes­day and now they were under water.

Just then the phone rang and a voice announced that the G-men had captured a g a n g of fifth column agitators who were trying to undermine the morale of Slate College. They had spread rumors of the sinking and the newspapers had gobbled it up. The Pedagogues were safely on the way, but had been held up for inspection by the G-men.

Well, maybe that isn't exactly the way it happened, but nevertheless, 'he 1040 Pedagogues finally got here Wednesday noon, to be eagerly car­ried away by anxiously awaiting jjen-wielders.

Actors Present Barries Classic

Miller Heads D A A Council; Richards, Treasurer;

Vanas, Secretary

The Dramatics and Arts Asso­ciation will present the second per­formance of the Advanced Dra­matics Class play, "Dear Brutus," in Page Hall auditorium tonight at 8:15 o'clock. The first per­formance of James M. Barrie's famous play was offered last night. This presentation is the annual three-act play given by the Ad­vanced Dramatics class under the direction of Miss Agnes E. Futterer, assistant professor in English. Ad­mission is seventy-five cents or stu­dent tax.

One unusual feature of the play was the stage setting which was prepared by the Stagecraft class un­der the direction of Mr. William G. Hardy, instructor in English.

Theme from Shakespeare The theme of the play is from

"Julius Caesar" by William Shake­speare. "The fault, dear Brutus, lies not in our stars but in our­selves, that we are underlings." The play centers around Lob, a middle-aged gentleman, who in­vites a number of guests to his vil­la. The guests are constantly com­plaining that if they only had the opportunity, they would have lived their lives very differently. Lob gives them that opportunity and, as is to be expected, they relive their lives just as they had lived them the first time.

The cast includes: Lob, Peter Hart, Grad; Mrs. Coade, Beulah Gifford, '40; Mr. Coade, "The little old man," Ernest Case; Mr. Dearth, Hyman Meltz; Mrs. Dearth, Mary Miller; Dearth's might-have-been daughter, the little girl Margaret, Shirley Van Valkenburg; Lady Caroline, Marlyn Groff; Mr. Purdie, Robert Hertel; Mabel Purdie, Lydia Bond; Joanna, Anne Rattray: Matey, the butler, Joseph Witney; juniors.

Production Committees Other Committees assisting in the

production are: costumes, Hattie Conklin, chairman, Ernest Case, Ly­dia Bond, Juniors; house, Mary Mar-die, '40, Douglas Dillenbeck, co-chair­men, Marlyn Groff, Mary Miller; advertising, John Gardephe, chair­man, Eloise Hartman, Beulah Gif­ford, '40, Joseph Withey; props, Jean Scott, chairman, Robert Her­tel, Anna Rattray; sets, Barbara Van Patten, Irene Poger, co-chair­men, Shirley Van Valkenburg, Hy­man Meltz, juniors.

Dramatic events next year will be managed by the new officers of the Dramatics and Arts Association. As announced on Moving-Up Day they are: president, Mary Miller, '41; secretary, Don Vanas, '43; treasurer, Katharine Richards, '42.

In accordance to the new consti­tutional requirement of male repre­sentation, Donald Vanas, '43, has been named to Dramatics and Arts Council.

Two additional members of the class of '43 will be chosen upon the completion of the elementary dra­matics course. These members will be selected according to their dra­matic ability and degree of interest.

E x a m i n a t i o n R e l a x a t i o n State College students are invited

to relax from 12:00 to 12:30 o'clock every noon during the week of June 3 to 7. Soft, soothing musical pro­grams have been arranged by Eloise Hartman, '40, acting In the capacity of the worship committee of SCA. The place is the Unitarian Chapel, and everyone Is welcome,

FennelVs Swing Band Will Return to State For Third Appearance

The choice of the people—and the pet of the senior class, Len Fennell, returns to State for the third time next month when he will play at Senior Ball Commencement night, June 17.

Fennell's band, specialists in sweet and swing music, has been enthusi­astically received on two previous occasions, Senior Ball last June and Senior Hop last November. (Once

Cossacks.) One of the smoothest of the new

outfits, Fennell's band has worked itself up to a point where precision playing is the keynote.

Guests will remember with admir­ation the performance of the blind pianist, Al Brinkman, at the Novem­ber Hop.

The orchestra starred in its ar­rangements of perennial favorites like "Begin the Beguine," "Little Brown Jug," "Back Bay Shuffle," "South of the Border" and the ever-popular "One O'clock Jump." These are in addition to the newest in good swing.

"The Postman Always Kings Twice" State College has a truly burning

need. How many folks, I wonder,! are aware of this unhatched brain-chick? It is—-a State College post-office on the campus. . . .

According to a letter that I have from the office of the First Asals-tant Postmaster General of the Unit­ed States, a post of flee service could be inaugurated here at State with the permission of our local postmas- I ter.

Procedure would involve: 1—se­curing the prescribed permission, 2 —securing the consent of the col- j lege authorities, 3—persuading the Student Association of the wisdom t of investing money and energy to establish u branch postofflce of our own, 4—getting office space and put­ting it in order for business i with heat and light provided), and 5— organizing an office force I under NYA pay i with a bonded manager to take the responsibilities associated I with such an undertaking.

I leave this suggestion with the NKWH and the student body. I sincerely believe a central postof-fice would be a distinct contribution to State College life—and what is more, I think the project entirely feasible.

STATE COLLEGE NEWS, MAT 24, 1940 Mg«t

Maloney's Baloney

-J.R.M, fTlHIS WEEK marks the end of a

I year of sports at State—a year that can hardly be classed as com­pletely successful, but one that was not devoid of Its bright spots.

Varsity sport was initiated in the fall with cross country. The har­riers dropped their three scheduled meets in rapid succession, however, thus carrying on the tradition of the previous year's team which was also outrun in all its encounters. Inasmuch as some capable fresh­man material was brought to light, the season was not a total flop.

December saw the start of a bas­ketball campaign that was destined to be one of the whackiest of re­cent years. High spots of the season included our hairbreadth 51-50 vic­tory over Niagara U. and the game with the hot Siena outfit which drew one of the biggest.—If not the biggest-crowds in the history of Page Hall Gym.

The ill-fated baseballers are In the process of cleaning up their sched­ule this weekend. Varsity ten­nis also winds up this week.

And thus ends a year.

ANEW MAA COUNCIL has been elected to serve for the com­

ing season. We'd like to urge that council to fight for the betterment of men's sports at State during 1940-41. This year has had Its nasty rumors relative to the curtailment of sports. May we urge the new council to keep such rumors from flaring into fact.

We should also like to take this opportunity lo inform the new MAA Council that the sports department of the NKW.S is not an agency for the condemnation of its acts. This de­partment feels that it can be of greatest assistance to MAA but to be of such assistance, the co-opera­tion of MAA is required. May we look for that co-operation next year?

New Awards to Mark WAA Banquet Tonight

The final WAA banquet will be held tonight on the lawn of the James Penimore Cooper house from 6:00 to 8:00 o'clock. At this time the new awards which are provided for in the awards amendment pass­ed earlier in the year will be given.

This amendment provides for the awarding of keys to all those who have participated in WAA sports for three years, and numerals to active freshmen.

tie Rock of the Southern Associa­tion. While manager of the Roches­ter Redwings, he led his club to a pennant and received the award as the most valuable manager in the International League. In his playing days, he was a star key-stone-sacker with the Cards of the National League.

Awards Awards for the past year and an­

nouncements of next year's athletic managers and captains lend Inter­est to the program. Intramural coun­cil will award keys to the most val­uable intramural player and the best intramural sportsman. Life passes will be awarded to Prank Kluge, '40, president of MAA, and to the captains of the major varsity sports. The latter will also receive varsity sweat' s. The new intra­mural council as selected by MAA will be divulged by Kluge.

Charley Young of the Knicker­bocker News, Dick Walsh of the Times-Union, and other sports writ­ers will attend the banquet. Witt-ner and Dowling, area basketball referees, and members of the faculty are to be guests. Coach Hatfield,

j Dr. Andrews, and Mr. Hardy will distribute the letters and frosh nu­merals.

Haller Chairman Bill Haller, '41, general chairman,

plans to start the banquet at 5:30 so that Toporcer can be with his team for their pre-game practice at Hawkins' Stadium. Tickets, which are fifty cents, will go on sale in the lower corridor of Draper Hall Monday and Tuesday. Walter Har­per, '40, will be toastmaster.

The banquet is being conducted af­ter the entire athletic program for the year has been completed so that all awards can be given. In former years, the baseball awards have been postponed because the banquet has taken place before Mov-ing-Up Day.

Athletic Association Select New Officers

The MAA Council for next year Is as follows:

President, William HaUer, '41. Vice-Pres., William Dickson, '42. Treas., Oerald Saddlemlre, '41. Sec., Prank Hansen, '43, Members: Arnold Ellerln, '41,

SLS Regains Top Rung In Close League Race

Sigma Lambda Sigma regained the lead in the men's intramural softball league when it beat the Ramblers and College House Tues­day and Wednesday evenings. With Del Mancuso's pitching, the SLS boys have really been going to town.

Kappa Beta and Kappa Delta Rho are tied for second, after KDR de­feated College H o u s e Wednesday night, and the Ramblers Tuesday night. KDR has been boosting its average principally because of field­ing and because of Moe Steven's pitching.

This afternoon the baseball squad meets Pratt on the Bleecker Sta­dium field at 3:00 o'clock. This Is the team that beat us by a score of 6-4 in Brooklyn last Saturday. The fact that our team was ahead at one point In that game makes It appear possible for the boys to eke out one win this season.

The diamond season closes tomor­row afternoon when the hapless State nine meets a fairly strong RPI aggregation on the Troy field. Even though the chance of a State win is fairly remote, there is a loyal band of State rooters who are char­tering a bus to make the trip with the team. To join this group all that is required is signing up on the main bulletin board.

Retrospection Reveals Renovation?. Innovations Another year has almost passed

Into the realm of history here at State. The freshman class has dis­appeared and the grand old Class of '40 is poising for its momentous leap out into the great unknown— the time has come for retrospec­tion and digestion of the contents of the year.

State has seen many things in the last few months, both great and small; both novel and traditional. The traditional we know; the in­novations we should remember , . .

The year is first memorable in that we started it without the guid­ing hand of our beloved Dr, Bru-bacher. We sailed into a new "five-year sea" with a cargo of freshmen to be delivered into that far-off land of the M.A. degree. They are nearly ready to disembark in their first port.

The budget cut which we so ar­dently fought last year came into play, and we experienced retrench­ing on all sides. The merger of the Echo and Lion into the Statesman has become a reality, with the pub­lication of our new magazine. We can now judge the success of this experiment.

Early in the year, a new spirit of political and parliamentary re­form seized the student body which

resulted in (1) much bickering in assembly with frequent references to Roberts' Rules of Order, (2) a new voting system, (3) investiga­tion of organized activity, (4) a new note in campaign speeches, and (5) a two-day stand by Murray as par­liamentarian.

In another phase, this year has brought other changes in the realm of student living. With an eye to enlightenment of the student body, Stewart Smith, '40, instigated a vic-trola and public address system, His original idea of news broad­casts throughout the day has not materialized, and there has been dis­satisfaction with the dance music in the Commons. Perhaps next year will see a better and more effective system.

The spring has seen developments which are also looking upward. First of all came the confirmation of the rumor that a new Commons will be provided next year in Husted

OTTO R. MENDE "The College Jeweler"

103 Central Ave. Albany, N. V.

Hall, dedicated to the late Dr. Bru-bacher. Already we have seen the renovating spirit manifest itself in the painting of the interior of Hust­ed.

Recent activity on the campus by the janitorial staff gave us the benches left to us by the class of '30, and a sparkling new drinking foun­tain at the door to the Commons.

Thus State College has progressed in the realm of student government and student affairs with corres­ponding changes in both curriculum and in buildings. We have not gone far enough, perhaps, but next year . . . well, let's wait and see.

New Teachers to Fill Administration Posts

(Continued from page 1, column 4) Esther L. Stallman will substi­

tute for Miss Martha Pritchard, pro­fessor of librarianship, who has a leave of absence for the year 1940-1941. Miss Stallman is at present an assistant professor at the Uni­versity of Tennessee, Knoxvllle, Ten­nessee.

Mrs. Jayne B. Garrison will re­place Miss Katherine E. Wheeling as supervisor of English. Miss Wheeling has a leave of absence for a year.

A number of other appointments are expected in the near future and will be announced in the first issue of the News next fall.
