Jones Painfs Virgin Islands In Letter To Sfafe College

How would you like to spend a year away from the telephone, radio and the world news? Right now it probably sounds pretty good. From Dr. Louis C. Jones, assistant professor of English at State College, comes a letter de­scribing his Impressions of the Virgin Islands, where he is doing just that.

In his letter Dr. Jones speaks of the tropical atmosphere, of strange plants, tropical fish, clear and sunny skies, a climate in which he goes swimming every day, and above all where "time doesn't matter." (All good State College students go to the Virgin Islands when they die.)

The letter may be found on page 3.

Bombs Away . . . Target for this week is the assembly program but

before we open fire, a preliminary briefing on the nature of the beast might be in order.

Assemblies are not required by state regulations, nor imposed on the student body by the arbitrary decision of the administration. Nor are they one hour a week when Student Council is responsi­ble for our entertainment. They are supposed to be an opportunity for the students to meet for the pur­pose of carrying on the student government, but the one meager business meeting conducted since school started in September seems a rather sad commen­tary on student participation in that sphere.

State has a far-reaching reputation for running its government and extracurricular activities with a maximum of student initiative and a minimum of faculty supervision, but magicians and fill-in movies are a poor substitute for active leadership at the one time the student body is convened. There is a predominant feeling around State Col­lege that there should be more business meetings.

Now to set our sights for the non-business assem­bly. In other years, outside speakers have been brought in to discuss current vital topics affecting students both as citizens and as teachers. This year, an increased percentage of State's population was entitled to vote in the state elections because of the return of the veterans, but representatives from each party were not obtained to speak, as they have been in the past.

No recognition has been made of the struggle of New York State teachers for higher salaries, either, although it is being carried on five blocks away. If some participant in this movement could be found to inform us what is being done and what we could do to help, it wouldn't be an hour misspent,

Before we creep back into our camouflage, we will discharge our remaining ammunition. Who has charge of enforcing the ruling that no announce­ments shall be made in assembly which arc included in the News? and would whoever made the regu­lation that every publicity committee for every organization stand on its head and serenade the students with "tomorrow night in Page, tra la", please repeal it?

Peace On Earth . . . This year ihe simple words, "Pence on earth,

good will towards men," express not only the essence of the Christmas season, but the crying need of the world today. That State accepts this challenge for constructive action, the colorful boxes lining the corridors are proof positiv. \

At a time when the warmth of the family group means most, Myskania with the help of the stu­dent body is adopting the youngsters out at the Albany Home, and making it possible for them to wait up for Santa Clans with the same breathless eagerness as other children, Incidentally, Sautii is keeping his shop open to contributions until 4:30 today, and in case that surprise exam kept you busy right up till now, it's only a short trip over to the five and dime on Central.

Another part of State heading towards the Christ-mils ideal is the religious organizations. Pooling their resources, SCA, Hillel, and Newman have been working together to make sure that Wednes­day night is worth reserving for a joyous Christmas sendoff vacationwards.

Study 9H Ganhad .By HAL ASH WORTH

A large group of State College theatre goers, composed in the main of freshman "daughters" and their new sorority "mothers", arrived at Page Hall on Tuesday last in high spirits. After enjoying an evening of good theatre fun, both farcical and serious, there was every reason that they should leave in the same state of mind.

One element which contributed to the success of the evening was the interesting contrast between the two productions, or rather, between their two authors. The target for the night was marriage. The bombard­ier in the opening piece was the Rus­sian heavy demolition expert, An­ton Chekhov, whose lusty strike at the vagaries of man to woman rela­tionships brought forth many a broad guffaw from an appreciative audience. The afterpiece,, one of the most effective jobs of the superbly clever pinpoint bombing technician GBS, approached the objective from a more serious angle but provoked frequent chuckles in the bargain.

The first play was, for the most part, accurately and imaginatively interpreted by Miss Dunker and her cast, who must be complimented for their sensible treatment of quasi-burlesque comedy. The acting hon­ors were Barselou's by a nose. Es­pecially commendable was his abil­ity to control the audience for some four minutes virtually unaided.

Gestures and voice inflections were well handled, save for some spots where clarity was sacrificed for speed In delivery of lines.

We felt that Miss Dell, impeded by

the sluggishness of her ageless and arthritic man-servant, had difficul­ty in getting started. As the action crescendoed, however, so did Miss Dell. Aided by an expresive face, Miss Dell succeeded in spots in being hilariously funny. Her servant com­pletely overlooked the comedy in his character, nor do we think he had definitely decided how to use his voice.

Miss Fillman's production included just enough of the mysterious to en­able us to scan Shaw's argument. The action was held together by the completely natural and amiable In-trepretation of the understanding wife by Miss Jaffer. We gained con­fidence that matters would resolve themselves logically from our im­pression that Miss Jaffre was entire­ly at home on the stage. Her hus­band obviously had more on his mind. Mr. Reich's characterization was convincing, if not consistently clear. In attempting a difficult role, that of the amorous poet, Giff Wingate occasionally came close to the overly-sincere. Shaw's subtle comedy was projected well by the entire cast.

An additional word of encourage­ment is given to those responsible for the two effective sets. The de­tail in Miss Dunker's set was ob­viously well-planned. At the same time mention should be made of the unfortunate lighting situation in Miss Fillman's play. Moving spot­lights and the fact that shadows were often cast, against the French doors, as well as across the faces of the actors, proved quite distracting.

2. Wo resolve that in the future we shall be careful about saying any­thing derogatory about Individuals who are members of the student body.

3. Wo rosolvo to criticize any­thing which Is not up to pnr or which Is detrimental to a largo number of people.

COURSE NO. XI—Filling; the Old Christmas Stocking With only nine more shopping nights until Christ­

mas Eve, don't you think it's time you started cross­ing out items on that lengthy list of yours? This week's column, in the true festive spirit that needs must precede ye holiday season, will dedicate itself, therefore, to hints for gleeful shoppers.

Hints for Gleeful Shoppers 1. First on our list, we recommend a smart little

solid-gold, gem-encrusted buy currently seen at John Rubel (he-provides-the-carats-you-shell-out-the-rub-les), Fifth Avenue, New York City. This gift is a set of equipment for a lady's handbag and, if your girl friend already has her own handbag, this little en­semble would be a snappy filler. The set consists of the following items, (prices included):

Item Price of Item checkbook case $700 cigarette case 2500 eyeglasses - 2000 money clip 87 oval vanity case 1000 key 35 perfum flask 3500 lipstick holder 600 pen-and-pencll set 500 pillbox 250 mesh purse 500 cigarette holder 60 cigarette lighter 150 key chain 100 St. Christopher medal 18 taxi whistle 15.50 four-leaf clover 200 identification disc 18

Set $9,833.50 Comment about gift: If you give this to a girl friend, it is sure to impress her.

2. Your college jeweler has a few suggestions fol­lowing along in the same vein (only these are more collegiate): Fur-lined zipper case (to carry NEWSes in) $837 14-Carat mall boxes (for lower hall Draper) 860 Sapphire encrusted beanie (for freshmen) ... 1000 Solid gold classbox (for rich P.T.'s) 550 Ruby speckled book cover (for books) 444.44 Neon sorority pin (you-push-the-button-it

lights-up) 450 Neon Independent pin (I'm-not-gettlng-in-

trouble-with-anybody-around-here) same price

Total what-does-it-matter-anyway?

3. Now we come to the fragrance department. Don't get your girl just any perfume, men—match the odor to her fragrant personality. Following is a list of girl friend types and the proper perfumes to go with them: Girlfriend Types Perfumes to Go With Them Distinctly a Leader Sulvez-Mol Afrnld of Her Own Shadow Courage Egocentrlcally Selfish Toujours Mol Stays Out After 11 on Week Nights My Alibi Likes to Cut Classes Tabu Manifests Amorously In Lounge My Sin

4. (and last) Suggestion for the ladies to give their gentlemen friends: One bottle of Men of Distinction (wrapped in purple tissue paper).

People of Virgin Islands Friendly, Helpful, Soys Dr. Louis Jones

(Ed. note- -Dr. Louis C. Jones, former assistant professor of Eng­lish, left this summer to spend a year in the Virgin Islands gather­ing folklore material and writing a book. While here he taught American Folk literature, and he is now serving as editor of the Folklore Quarterly magazine.)

Box 04, Frederikstod St. Croix, Virgin Island Sometime in Dec, I for­

got the dato. Dear Friends:

Tho Editor has asked me to write you about St. Croix and the llfo hero, and, Bloas mo! I don't know whore to begin. Perhaps in the piano that morning in early July as wo cllmbod into tho sky from San Juan, P.It., and started tho last lap of our journey. Bolow us wo could soo thousands of groon dots In tho water, which are the Virgin islands, thou tho swelling hills of St. Thomas with Charlotte Amalie snuggled in their arms, thon tho forty miles over still blue ocean and tho rising mountains on tho north coast of St. Croix.

Tho fields bolow wore brown and dry, tho white ruins of deserted plantations rofloctlng hot and arid In the morning sun. "Time doesn't matter on St. Croix", said Brother Hodge us ho drove us thru tho blis­tering canoflolds, thru the back streets of town until wo oamo to our cottage by the son. Frankly tho first view was an awful disappointment and the only olio wo have had since wo arrived.

Tho sugar otine is high now, with groat tassels waving magostically In the fields bolow tho ruined white piles that long ago wore mansions on slave-built estates. The estates have names to live in tho happy corners of one's memory: Hard labor, Swootbottoin, Solitude, All-For-Tho-Bottor, Parasol, Work and Rest, Fanny's Fancy, Humbug, Prosperity, and my two favorites, Upper Love and Lower Uivo,

Only tho long slave quarters uro lived in today, In most of thorn, crowded, dirty. The smells of fried fish and a oorumoal mush called fungi, oomos up from the llttlo char­coal braalors us you puss among

thorn, but the people smile and are friendly to the strangers; they have the ways of an independent peo­ple. Tho women walk with a gliding oroctness, great bundles or pails of water on their heads; tho men stride down tho road swinging a matchct, or gallopping on their little mules, Their politeness Is in­stinctive, but it never grovels; tho politeness of self respect.

And the town that looked so dusty and drab that July morning is filled with friendly streets now, tho houses newly, brightly painted. Tho Porto Ricans who run tho grocery stores and the natives who run tho other confusing littlo shops that may soil everything under one roof, from na­tive rum and St. Thomas bay rum to oyo cups and carbon paper, thoy all know us now and have a bit of gossip or observations philosophic for us.

Tho shoomaker tolls me that tho grey mould on my briefcase ho Is repairing comes from tho cold weather we've boon having, and ho could bo right, it got down to 78 degrees the other night. Usually tho sun is warm when wo go in for our seven o'clock swim before break­fast, but never unbearable ovon in mid-day. Novor as hot as say, slim­mer school the last week In July. And tho nights arc always cool enough for sloop.

People have boon kind to us and we have boon making friends. Nine out of every ton of us on St. Croix had some ancestors who started bore from Africa, Including many of tho merchants, the policemen, tho telephone operators, tho judges, most of the Council, government officials, the planters, the man who owns tho movlo theater, tho bur-

Varsity Trounces Alumni 67-29; To Face Siena Quintet Tuesday

O'Brien And Fcrsh High Scorers For State

Displaying consistent scor ig punch and a tight defense the State Varsity opened their 1946-47 cam­paign by drubbing the Alumni All-Stars Saturday night, 68-29. In the prellmlng, State's Junior Varsity bowed to a fast Lippman's Pharmacy team 47-74.

Sparked by the sharp shooting of "Tom" O'Brien and "Cy" Persh, the Purple and Gold jumped off to an early lead and stayed out in front all the way. O'Brien collect seven field goals and one foul while Persh was dropping in six field goals to lead the attack. After a slow start against their taller opponents the Statesmen began to find the range and soon put the game on ice. Kirby Leads Off

Play was not two minutes old be­fore Jack Kirby retrieved a missed foul shot and started State on its scoring spree. O'Brien and Ken George followed with push shots be­fore Paul Merritt scored the Star's first with a foul shot. Ed Reed and Vern Lehman tucked away goals to end the first quarter scoring with State ahead 9-5.

"Link" Marzello opened the second period scoring with a beautiful over­head shot from the deep left corner. "Bolo" Marsland set from the cor­ner and followed with a lay-up be­fore Reed and Merritt tallied for the Alumni. Taking a pass from Mars-land, Fersh dropped in a one-hander from the foul line and followed with a lay-up. Half-time: State 29, Stars 10. Frament Thrills Crowd

The Stars caught fire for the first few minutes of the third quarter with Lehman, Lynch and Dickson dropping in field goals. Taking a pass from Amyot, Frament pivoted and flicked In a sensational one-handed, back-to-basket goal. State then took over with Walt Schick and "Karp" Karpiak tossing in goals before Ken George found the range for two scores. Druggists Over Jayvees

Playing their first game of the season, State's Jayvees were out­classed 47-74 by a veteran Lippman team paced by Joe Enos who tallied fourteen field goals and two fouls. Although handicapped by lack of height, the Jayvees fought th<* Drug­gists right down to the wire. Tom Lisker and Al Beninati divided scor­ing honors, each scoring six field goals with Lisker also chipping in with three foul shots.

By FRANK WOODWORTH

Here we go again after a two weeks' vacation without remunera­tion It looks as though the IM bas­ketball schedule will finally get un­derway by the end of this week. I t has been decided that the teams will be organized into two leagues. League "A" will be composed of class teams mainly, while league "B" will be represented by fraternity teams.

There have been conflicting phil­osophies as to the manner in which the teams should be formed, and this system that has evolved seems to be the best possible solution to the problem. I t allows both for the fellows who don't have a team to play with and for those fellows who wish to play with their frat teams.

At the risk of eating our own words i with carbon copies), we would like to venture an opinion as to the relative strength of the two leagues. I t is our opinion that the Frat league will produce better bas­ketball because the fellows are ac­customed to playing together. Don't get us wrong; we are not assuming that the frat league will produce the champs, because the other league will become better coordinated as the season moves along. However, the frat league should produce bet­ter games In the earlier part of the season.

A lot has been said already this season about the matter of support­ing our Varsity team this year, and a lot more needs to be said. The pep rally the other night showed the lukewarm interest that prevails in the college. If you want to keep a team on the floor, especially a win­ning team, you have to come out and give them your active support-not your verbal support in the lower hall of Draper.

VARSITY SWIMMING? There Is a good chance that Stole

will have a Varsity swimming team this winter If enough fellows are In­terested. Conch Hathaway has in­formed us that a minimum of twenty fellows will bo necessary. If you ore interested In swimming and wont to go out for this team, we urge you to sign the list that will be post­ed on the MAA bulletin board.

Tne Teachers of Piattsburg in their only other game to date bowed to St. Michael's by the aforementioned score of (72-30). State's rivals of northern New York always provide stiff competition and the Purple and Gold will be ready for a tough game tomorrow evening. Siena Game At Armory

In a move to assure adequate seating capacity for the large stu­dent bodies of both Siena and State, Mr. Hathaway has shifted State's scheduled home game to the Wash­ington Avenue Armory. The large court will afford plenty of room on which the two fives may cavort without being hampered by a crowd overflowing onto the court. The first game between State's Junior Varsity and the Albany Pharmacy Jayvees is called for 7:30. State should be well represented in the gallery since a hot rivalry is fast developing between the two colleges. Varsity Pointing

The Purple and Gold are defin­itely "up" for the long-awaited clash with Siena. "Bolo" Marsland will lead an aggressive State team that would like nothing better than to dump the Indians. With emphasis on foul shooting, Coach Hathaway has been holding long Intensive drills this week In prepar­ation for the big clash. Ken George, Tom O'Brien, Red Evans nnd Cy Fcrsh will back up Marsland when the first whistle Wows.

Life was proceeding calmly enough for Harold Ashworth and Arthur Soderlind, Seniors, and Jacob Schuhle, '49. Com­fortably settled In an apart­ment at 151 Lancaster Street they were free to pursue knowl­edge without another care in the world.

Into this idyllic existence a short circuit made its merry way, and undaunted by the ici­est of obstacles, set fire to the refrigerator. The use of the apartment fdr a few weeks went up In a blaze along with $.50 worth of bacon, a pound of cheese and a few oranges. The housing shortage became an acutely personal matter.

Could an extra week of vaca­tion be a possible solution to this dilemma?

Not at all. Kind friends gave refuge to the homeless until such time as the insurance In­vestigators could survey the damage and make the apart­ment liveable.

In this connection, certainly,, I ought to mention our brilliant and ext.'emely able Governor, William H. Hastie, former Dean of Howard University Law School, and an out­standing leader in our times. The people of all colors and in all levels of society admire him tremendous­ly, and the effect upon morale must be very great when every native here knows that the chief executive is one of their own race, and bids fair to being their best governor. Even the powerful little group of white men who hold the largest economic stake in the Island see it that way now.

For us life is very quiet and very busy. The book progresses and is now about a third done. The sun and sea have tanned us all and we eat like famished pigs. Christmas morning, us we go into the sea for our dip, it will not be the same as other years, but then this is our different year. A year without tele-phono or radio or world news, a your whon eight hours of every day Is spend pocking at a typewriter, rather like Archy the Cockroach.

In May I hope to see many of you as I stop off in Albany before going to my new duties at Cooperstown. Until then, a Merry Christmas and a healthy and happy New Year.
