P&biHf Quel *lhe CxcUaHqe Most people today don't seem to

know whether they are coming or going but according to the New York Times geography test of 5,000 students in 42 colleges, we don't even know where we are. For ex­ample, when these students were asked to name the countries border­ing Yugoslavia, some students named Belgium, Egypt, Manchuria, Portugal and even Canada.

This apparent lack of knowledge seems to predominate in other than just the field of geography. The en­tire personality of the college co-ed has been attacked by a Harvard English professor when he described college girls as listless, pessimistic, confused and obsessed by a fear of the future, Howard Mumford Jones in an article pessimistically entitled "Have College Women Let Us Down?" also bemoans the fact that ' A dark, unreasoning fear has the college girl in its grip. This is her fear of the future dominated by the atom bomb." Jones accuses the college girl of a senseless system of copying into her notebook the notes of her professor without ever con­sidering the significance of the facts. He adds, however, that possi­bly the listlessness now evident may

be shadowed overnight by some dramatic turn In history. The best rationalization the co-ed of today can make is this apparent fatalism of the older generation.

On the lighter side of the college news, the University of Buffalo Spectrum recently printed six rea­sons "Why I never joined a soror­ity?" They were: One: I wanted to do as I wished and think for my­self instead of being led around by a bunch of sorority sisters. Two: I had never gone into women's clubs and organizations before I came to college and I didn't want to start. Three: I had never danced with a man in my life and I didn't want to. Four: I didn't like the idea of having to room with the same girl all semester. Five: I didn't fill out a sweater and I didn't look very at­tractive in a sleeveless, low cut gown. Six: I'm a male.

And here's the quote of the week taken from the Daily Kansan. "It is difficult to understand why the officials in Washington recently gave the Princess a key to the city. After all, just a little pull will open almost any door there." Oh well remember to keep smiling. Next week is National Smile Week.

AF To Choose Grad Trainees

The Air Weather Service in Wash­ington, D. C„ has asked the Air Force to commission and train 300 graduates as weather officers. Those eligible for training are college graduates and second-semester sen­iors with credit for one year of col­lege physics and mathematics through integral calculus.

Since several months will be re­quired to piocess applications for the 1952-53 program, men and wo­men interested should apply at once. Successful applicants will be ordered to active duty by mid-August, 1952, to begin a 12-month meteorology course at one of seven participating U. S. colleges and uni­versities.

Those graduates accepted for the USAF-spansored training program will be commissioned immediately as second lieutenants on full pay, including allowance for quarters and subsistence. Young men and women who will graduate before August, 1952, and who are interested in USAF commission and meteorology training may write for further in­formation to the Chief, Air Weather Service, Andrews Air Force Base, Washington 25, D. C.

Lisle Program Offers Summer Field Work

Opportunities for cooperative liv­ing and community field work will be featured again this summer un­der the Lisle Fellowship program, says a recent announcement by The Lisle Fellowship, Incorporated. The Fellowship program is open to up-perclass and graduate students.

Lisle Fellowship students work in communities within a 200 mile ra­dius. Their community work in­cludes hospitals, housing projects, camps for young people, and social centers. Committees made up of live or six students work together and meet for evaluation sessions throughout the program. A six week unit will operate around San Francisco; Hartford will be the cen­ter of a nine week unit. There will also be a Connecticut unit in oper­ation from June to September. Charge for the program will be about $150 per student.

Additional information may be secured from DeWitt C. Baldwin, Director, The Lisle Fellowship, Inc., 04 South State Street, Ann Arbor, Michigan.

If someone steps on your big toe, smile, brother, smile! If your professor tells a story that might possibly pass for a humorous anecdote, smile. In fad, a pro­longed guffaw might even be adequately appreciated. When you receive your draft notice, you might try smiling. Maybe your recruiting officer won't be able to defer you hut he might return a smile that Is Just as friendly as yours.

If you're in doubt as to what a smile looks like, go luke a peek at Joan Stocker '53 and James Coles '52, who recently were elected Miss and Mr. Sunshine of the Distributive Education Department.

Comes The Revolution . . . During the past few weeks discussion has been

prevalent among the students of the college con­cerning the rumors regarding curriculum changes. This week the rumors have been confirmed. There have been formulated somewhat revolutionary, but long-awaited methods of expanding and de­veloping our present course of study to meet more adequately the needs of the present and future student bodies.

Last Monday the faculty voted unanimously to accept certain curriculum changes brought to them for their consideration after a long period of work by the curriculum committee. These revisions and additions to the college's course of study are only the beginning of a long-range program designed to make the work more suitable and acceptable to both the students and the faculty. The program will go into effect with the Class of 1956.

Requirements for the Bachelor of Arts degree will hereafter include six hours each of English, social studies, general psychology, health, orienta­tion and physical education, plus six hours se­lected from the humanities, which include art, drama, literature in English or a foreign language, music, and philosophy. In addition, the variable requirements will comprise IS hours of language if no language courses were taken in high school, six to 12 hours of mathematics or science, education, and 50 hours in the major-minor field. To make possible the completion of the language require­ment in two years, an intensified one year course yielding eight hours credit and meeting five times weekly will be established for entering freshmen, with only six additional hours necessary in the Sophomore year.

As before, the minimum requirement in educa­tion courses stands at 18 hours. Provision has been made, however, for earning a maximum of eight hours in off-campus practice teaching. These changes have been made for the purpose of offer­ing a more liberal education to the student body and strengthening the experience obtained in the major field.

Major alterations in the requirements for the Bachelor of Science degree, now to be offered in commerce, biology, chemistry, physics, or mathe­matics, include the addition of the general psy­chology course and six hours of work selected from a specified group in art, drama, foreign language, literature, music, or philosophy, A biology major will be compelled to take one year of math, while majors in the other two sciences must complete mathematics courses through Math 27 (Integral Calculus). It will be necessary for math majors to take six hours of science, whirl' students in the commerce field will need a year of science and additional electives totaling 39 hours, instead of 44 hours. As of next year, students will be permit­ted to choose a major-minor in commerce.

Under the new system, the carrying of third and fourth subjects will no longer be required, and all fields will be open to enable the student to broaden his knowledge. The credit hours neces­sary for graduation have been raised to 128, how­ever, credit will be granted for the required physi­cal education courses.

The faculty committee has done an extremely fine job in remedying the situation presented by our curriculum gripes, yet their job has just lie-gun. It will be up to the future students of State to prove that this is a worthwhile and workable course of study.

Last Tuesday night's AD devotees saw one of the most interesting bills produced this year. The cur­tain rose on versatile director-actor Richard Gutta's psychological dra­ma. Here, technical effects such as good lighting, varied stage move­ment, and interesting stage pictures combined to provide an effective mood for the play. Elaine Stryker, in the role of the soul, gave a good but spotty performance. Her voice did not always match the strength of her character and movement, but with more experience she should be one of our more promising actresses. Ann Caparis, on the other hand, gave a technically sound perform­ance but at times lacked the spon­taneity essential to good acting. Her movement, therefore, at times ap­peared memorized and unmotivat­ed. Jack Smithler bogged down the play; lack of volume and uncertain­ty of lines were the reasons. An Os­car, however, goes to Dick Gutta for his splendid portrayal of the neu­rotic murderer. Excellent contrast, skillful use of color in costumes, and an understanding interpreta­tion of the script made this play one of the finest seen on the Page Hall stage this year.

Dick Scott's farce which followed opened on an especially good box

set rating immediate applause from the audience. However, for a farce the pace was far too slow at times and there were moments when the play was actually static. This was the result of a lack of stage busi­ness and good movement, faults of the director. The actors were at fault in not holding laugh lines and in picking up cues so slowly. Roz Lacks' ability to make even the most awkward pose, graceful and her ever-varied inflectional pat­terns wringing the most out of any role acclaim her the best of our thespians. Sue Danzis, well-versed in the art of pantomime, provided just the right mate for the master­fully underplayed performance giv­en by her husband, Harry Warr. Nonchalant newcomer Ted Peene, and comedy natural Diane Wheeler, plus Frank Hodge's unique exit built up the comic atmosphere. It must be remembered that a plot of this nature is difficult to direct since it calls for a multitude of people and well-timed pacing of sophisticated dialogue, — techniques which are hard to master even for the hands of a professional director. The gen­eral tenor of the play and actors was light enough to capture the farce mood and complete an even­ing of good entertainment.

Ane We Ready? By BILL DUMBLETON

The inadequacies of State College that are evident now have been termed by some as "growing pains." This is starting with an optimistic premise. Whether the present "pains" and inadequacies will result in growth remains to be seen. Around us we see inadequacies evident to all. The cafeteria situation is ab­ominable, the Commons is a little more than a pig sty with benches, the rest rooms (where you can find one) are in a terrible slate, and last but not least, even the clocks do not function correctly (some say "if they were right, they would be here)

These are the physical pains, or "inadequacies of the plant' as edu­cators' lingo would have it. Less tan­gible evidences are revealed upon examining the curriculum. The stan­dards of the college are being ques­tioned and the so-called "old tradi­tions of education" are being test­ed.

Student government is claimed by some to be in a state of lethargy. The organizations and the "State College spirit" seem to lack the old push which was the result of a small compactly organized student body.

The time has come for all of us to evaluate. The administration, the faculty and the student body must rise to the situation if these pains are to result in growth. Apparently, few people attacked the inadequacies of the college before these difficul­ties arose and when lhe.se things go by unnoticed wilh just it rising fuel of complaints from time to time. The fact that the bodies concerned fulled to (In their duties before doubles the difficulty now. Firstly iliey are out of practice and not quite sure how to titlark. Secondly, the inadequacies Unit could have been remedied before, but were not, only yawn larger before us and make It more difficult for us to get to the present difficulties, The growth can­not be based on a shaky foundation.

For years the college plant has operated with Inconveniences. Stu­dents became accustomed to the luck of paper towels mid other minor things. But now tolerance of the lack of ventilation in the men's room In lower Draper becomes exceedingly difficult due to the increti.se of hu­man bodies and their natural func­tions. It would seem the curt, is be­

fore the horse in this situation. Ap­parently the state has to be forced to increase its allocations to State College. We are merely the means to this end.

For years students have been made aware of the rift between the edu­cation department and the liberal arts faction of the faculty. The fa­culty could not settle their differ­ences among themselves and occa­sionally turned to the student body for a battlefield.

Now this battle is becoming in­creasingly noticeable and some pro­fessors have made some seemingly depreciating remarks about depart­ments existing in the college. For the most part, students have been unaware of the basic questions in­volved but were turned to for some solace. The education department now seems to be doing most of the attacking. It would seem that they should do a little "measuring and testing" of their own department. When a course such as Extra-Class-Activities (which requires its student to answer such important questions as identifying "Down Yonder" and "ping" on the final exam) is al­lowed to masquerade as a college course, restricted to Juniors and Seniors at that, it would seem that the education department should scrutinize its own goals before beg­ging for more recognition in its own department.

Student Government has well be­come larger in quantity and promises to become more so next year. The assembly itself cannot accomodate all the student body for I he proper functioning of the town-meeting form of government. Mysktiniu, whose original purpose was to "uni­fy the student body" and "act us an advisory board to student coun­cil" seems to be languishing In Its own glory as it, lias in the past. Their leadership in coping with the problems and assimilating the group of llfth year students iwho are here by requirement, not choice) into the student body is sadly lacking. Per­haps their own abolishment should be it result of Slate College growth.

We are all In the driver's sent now anil cannot be overcome by the lethargy which is now so prevalent. If we are not up to handling the problems of growth, perhaps we should forget about progress and re­vert to "the good old days."

IT'S HIGH TIME! . . . Something has finally been done about marks!

There will be detachable stubs on all class cards which you will get two weeks earlier than marks have previously been coming out. This will go into effect next semester—so don't hold your breath till you get this semester's marks.

THIEVES! . . . We don't know who you are, but most of the com­

plaints have come from the girls' locker room. Money and clothing have disappeared and the lowest of the low—lunches. The guilty person has had enough cour­tesy, however, to leave the empty paper bags. It seems the guilty person or persons aren't content to live off the state anymore, now they want to live off their fellow students. We wish we knew who the guilty person is, so we could publish her name in this column.

STATELY PARADISE? . . . You'll never believe it! Starting next year the lan­

guage requirement will be lowered, either Freshman Science or Freshman Math will be required, not both, a new Philosophy or Psychology course will be of­fered, and . . . credit will be given for gym! An A in this may put you on Dean's list. We've heard that 550 frosh are desired next year; is this the reason for lowering our standards? It sounds as if the Class of '56 will have an easy time of it, but will their stand­ards still be low on graduating four years later?

LOITER MUCH LATELY? . . . Complaints have been made that people who want

to eat at noon can't because there is so much con­gestion in the cafeteria annex. But after all, where are we gonna go? The Commons is stuffy and dirty

in spite of its new "receptables," and Casda is often In the Richardson Lounge. We think the loss of the old Commons has taken away much of our collegiate life. Oh well, there's always the library.

EUROPEAN AIDES WERE HERE . . . Among them, Miss Aino Niskanen from Finland.

She is employed by the United States State Depart­ment, and was a guest on our campus. She was vis­iting our dorms to view American college life.

NEW PALTZ GAME . . . is tomorrow night, and is the long awaited benefit

game. There will be both a J.V. and a Varsity game, and admission will be a quarter. Now that it's finally here, let's get behind it.

TIDBITS . . . We aren't saying anything about the football in­

vestigation until facts are presented, but we do hope everyone will view the situation witli an open mind.

Don't miss the terrific escape mechanism over WOKO Thursday evenings from 7 to 7:30 p.m. Fresh­man Art Lennig presents an intellecutal program by presenting "Great Voices of the Past."

The Sophomore presentation, "Runaway Land," last week was certainly a wonderful argument for retain­ing Big 4's. The freshmen will have to work hard to beat it.

Congratulations to Joan Bennett, on making Mys-kania; it did us good to hear her name called out in last week's assembly. This is a deserved honor and proves that people arc capable of voting wisely if they just give it some thought.

We are glad to see something constructive being done in the way of sorority initiations . . . "help week." The Greek women should be congratulated for starting what may be a wonderful tradition. We think the most help has been given to the lucky guys who received those torrid love letters.

QUESTION ()K THE WEEK . . . Why has celery replaced chicken in our Cafeteria

society?

Sororities State Weekend Plans

State's sororities are planning open houses and a date party for this weekend. Three sorority presi­dents have also released names of students recently pledged or initiat­ed.

Chi Sigma Theta has scheduled an open house for this evening from 8 p.m. to 12 midnight. Psi Gamma will hold an open house from 8 p.m to 12 midnight tonight.

Anne Sullivan '52, President of Psi Gamma, has announced that Mary Christopher, Betty Gregory, Sopho­mores, Rose Colacicco, Katherine Restein, Natalina Scaramuzza, So­phie Kozek, freshmen, were recent­ly pledged to the sorority. Ellen Ba-ronas, Hildegarde Von Ann, and Re-gina Stankevitz, freshmen, were pledged to Phi Delta, according to Marjorie Farwell '52, President. Phi Delta formally initiated Marlene Martoni and Patricia Byrne, Sopho­mores, last week. Evelyn Kampke '52, President of Beta Zeta, has an­nounced that Patricia McGuinness '55 was pledged to Beta Zeta Mon­day evening.

University Professor To Deliver Lecture

The Capitol District Council for the Social Studies is sponsoring a lecture to be given by Dr. Ralph Turner, Professor of History, Yale University, and Director of the UNESCO World History Project. Turner will speak in Draper audi­torium Tuesday, March 11, at 7:45 p.m.

"The First Cooperative History of Mankind" will be the topic, states Dr. Wallace W. Taylor, Supervisor of Social Studies in the Milne School. This lecture is Turner's first public speaking engagement since his return from UNESCO headquar­ters in Paris.

Brooms, Dusters, Eager Pledges Innovate Sorority Help Week

"Ker-choo . . . Isn't this dust aw­ful?" "Where can I empty this dirty water?" "Hey, let's go down­stairs and play pool." These com­ments were overheard in the Albany Boys' Club as sorority pledges cleaned up the library shelves as part of pledge duty.

Traditional Hell Week is a thing of the past, and if you mention it you'll have to put a dime in the swear box. Sorority pledges now go through Help Week as part of their pledge training.

Help Week does not mean that the pledges are supposed to help the members out, although some girls

Student Union Board Gains New Members

As a result of the abolition two weeks ago of the Student Union Commission, five State College stu­dents are now members of the Stu­dent Union Board. The commission was dissolved by the Student Union Board with the approval of Stu­dent Council, according to James Coles '52, President of the Board.

New Student Union Board mem­bers are: Rudolf DeSantolo, Mario DeSeve, Roderick Hilslnger, Julia Korba, and Beverly Pranitis, Jun­iors, all formerly members of the Commission. The addition of these new members will increase the Board to twelve.

The rules governing the use of the Student Union at Brubacher have been posted on the Student Council bulletin board in Huested and the Grad Bulletin board outside the Commons. All State College stu­dents are asked to review these rules carefully to avoid the possibility of violations, according to Coles.

College Men To Take Selective Service Ttst

The Selective Service System Col­lege Qualification Test will be given at State College on Thursday, April 24, 1952, announces Randolph S. Gardner, Supervisor of Mathematics in the Milne School. The deadline for applications for the examination is March 10. 1952. Eligibility for de­ferment will be based on this test.

Any men who have registered for the draft and have not taken the qualification examination are urged to apply at once, according to Gardner. Application forms and sample questions are available in Room 131, Milne.

apparently didn't understand this. The help was to be given to worthy charities in Albany and was made possible through the mutual co­operation of Inter-Group Council and Inter-Sorority Council.

The pledges at the Albany Boys' Club spent their time dusting copies of "The Rover Boys at Yale" and "Tom Swift, Boy Inventor." At the Clinton S q u a r e Neighborhood House, girls cleaned out closets and directed games and square dancing. The kids say the do-si-do was never like this! However, some of the children did not have the highest opinion of :oilege intelligence. One bright-eyed and eager pledge, in an effort to helpfully put things away, waved a bundle of pencils in the air, exclaiming, "What do I do with these?" A small boy replied scorn­fully, "You write with them."

Now that a start has been made, perhaps Help Week will become a valuable tradition. The old-style Hell master armed with paddle will disappear and in his place will em­erge a kindly soul whose chief pleas­ure is being nice to pledges. No . . . that would be too much to ask.

A request for fifteen to twenty counsellors to attend the 1952 Em­pire Girls' State, sponsored by the New York Department of the Am­erican Legion Auxilary, has been made. The conclave will be held at Skidmore College from June 20 to 28.
