PAGE TWO CLARKSON INTEGRATOR FRIDAY, NOV. 10, 1950 Attention ... Every students should bring his attention to the fact that there are a number of essay contests sponsored here at Clarkson each year. Some are of a local nature, while others are of national importance. Which- ever type is preferred, it must be admitted that the contests are so designed as to arouse student interest in the subject at hand. A thorough understanding of a par- ticular subject, gained from the investiga- tions preliminary to the actual writing, is very valuable, especially when added to the practice of writing a good report. None of us can predict we will write re- ports in the field we have chosen; none of us can count on winning a prize. The main thing is the benefit' that we derive now, while it is useful. To upperclassmen alike, the contact itself may prove to be the ave- nue towards employment after graduation. Editorials While We Are Here... When the class '50 graduated last June, with it a large number of veterans departed from the campus. Most of the undergradu- ates then yearned for the good old days of pre-war college. Within a month after those men left, our country was at war again. We would only be kidding ourselves to think that the United States is not in a state of war because congress did not de- clare it. In whatever manner of thinking, the fact stands that our troops are engaging in combat and that our national resources are going into war efforts. We are pretty comfortable here enjoying the easualness of academic pursuit and the pleasant social activities. The war in Korea is thousands of miles away. Most of us are deferred from military service. While taxes and prices for goods and services are on the climb, we really have little to complain. Does the war concern us? It definitely does even though the distance and its ef- fects are rather remote. We have often heard speeches decrying the unhealthful at- titude toward individual security. What about collective security? Our troops are fighting in Korea because our government is under the obligation to do so. We are duty bound to the United Nations which seeks to enforce world order. Our individual existence and world existence depends a great deal on the efforts of the United Na- tions to maintain peace. While our troops are gaining at the present time, what lies ahead is still uncertain. We must maintain cautiousness and not let over-optimism carry us away. That is why our leaders see it wise to strengthen our national defense at this time. We hold conviction that the United Nations is our hope for peace, but such a hope becomes futile without the strength behind it. Why should the United States bear the greater portion of this bur- den? It is because of our leadership and faith in this world organization, and be- cause we have the resourcefulness to carry it. With our belief and strength, we may possibly thwart any future threat of war. Just how do we, as students, fit into this present world situation? Do we, by any ac- cident, belong to a privileged class to be de- ferred from military service? There are re- sponsibilites ahead of us as professional men or as members of the armed forces be- yond the horizon of this campus. Every fa- cility is available here to prepare ourselves for the important tasks ahead. We must not slacken up on our work here because job op- portunities will be plentiful. Our fathers are paying high taxes and our heroes are mak- ing their sacrifices. The least wp can do is to put in a little more effort towards fulfill- ing our purpose here. By no means should we all work without play, for everything should have sense of proportion. Healthful recreation can be important to our bodies and morale. We can look forward to the day, after we have prepared ourselves, when we can serve our fellow men. It is time that we should take up the attitude that the world is a part of us as much as we are part of the world. Question: What do you think of the joint Clarkson and PSTC fund-raising' campaign to bring displaced students to our colleges ? Walt Fuss Captain Of Spirited Squad by JULES WAJNRUB Ronald Ackles, Class 1953, Ch. E., Marcellus, N. Y. \I hope everybody supports this fund-raising drive. However, the thousand dollar goal is going to be very tough to raise. Two years ago this same type of campaign was tried unsuccessfully. I would like to see the drive go to the top this time.\ Bill Lane, Class 1951, Chem, Springfield, Mass. \Too often a technical school gives a self centered point of view, or at least others think so. In either case, the W.S.S.P. drive gives the students of this campus an opportunity to do a little for someone else. This drive is worthy of our wholehearted backing.\ B»b Keyes,, Class 1952, B. A., Utica, N. Y. \This a great opportunity for the students of Clarkson to help someone else. Other colleges have found that a lot is learned from working and studying with a per- of different background than own. As the saying goes, gift is our gain.' Many for- eign students brought to this country by the W.S.S.F. been leaders in their classes in college organizations rcholastically.\ son our 'our have both and Larry Elling, Class 1952, E.E., Penn Yan, N. Y. \I think that if the students are willing to give money to import a D. P. student, maybe they should set up a scholarship for some de- serving student in this area or in New York State.\ John J. Dunaj, Class 1951, B.A., Niagara Falls, N. Y. \I think that it's about time Clarkson and PS.T.C. are finally getting on the beam and doing something like this. Students from other countries would really add a continental atmosphere to Clark- son.\ Joy To Be An Edito Happy Days to Come r; out this paper is no jokes, people say Getting •oicnic. If we nrint we are silly. If we don't, they say we are too serious. If we stick close to the office all dav, WP ono-ht to be around hunting material. If we go out and try to hustle, we ought to be on the job in the office. If we don't print contributions, we don't appreciate genius; and if we do print them, the paper is filled with junk! If we edit the other fellow's writeups, we're too critical; if we don't we're asleep. If we clip things from other papers, we're too lazy to write them ourselves. If we don't, we are stuck on our own stuff. Now, like as not, some guy will say we swiped this from some magazine. We didn't. We swiped it from the Lafayette Works paper via the Cressona News Letter via Est-Lore, of East St. Louis, which paper cut it out of Al-Zalean of Mobile. (From the Massena Alcoan) WALTER FUSS \This year's football team is the best I have ever played with. The men are full of pep and have plenty of fighting spirit.\ \Their enthusiasm is not lim- ited to game time, for hardly any- one of the fellows ever misses practices,\ said Walter Fuss, the captain of Clarkson's football team. Walter, who was captain of the '47 freshman football team in Malone believes this year to mark the end of the slump for the Clarkson team and is sure that \next year's team will really make a showing.\ Captain of Eait High Squad Walter Fuss started his formal football career at Auburn East High School where he also cap- tained the football team. Inci- dentally, Walter's brother plays for the East High School, which has up to date a record of 24 consecutive victories. \The spirit of this year's team may be traced back to 'Whoops', and also to the team's life to- gether in the new gym, before the start of the term. We got to know each other pretty well; why we even got to know each other's dreams and nightmares!\ Walt claims. It seems that late at night, after a hard day's training, the dorm became a cen f er of activity, with the loud calling of signals and calesthenks, all performed bv the fellows while in deep slum- ber. Civil Engineering Major Born on August 27, 1928 in Auburn, New York. Walt is a senior majoring in civ:! engineer- ing and is attending school on an athletic scholarship. Hi has been earning most of his living ex- penses working summers. This past summer, he worked on the New York State Thruway, the new super highway through the state. Among the many Clarkson graduates and former students he met while working was George Rinkowitz, whom he encountered on bridge construc- tion in Moravia, N. Y. Walter hopes to make it to graduation, though he has fleet- ing doubts, considering he is now cooking his meals himself (Pepto Bismo, is never out of reach). In June, he expects to be drafted, but before that, he expects to take his first trip to New York City to see what it's like. Anywhere he'll be, we are sure his sportsmanship and cheerful spirits will be an asset to all those who will know Walt.

Students At an interview w'th Mr. Loren Edwa'-ds, director r.f .oenondarv schools relations of the college, it was revealed that the Integrator is read by many high school stu- dents. Mr. Edwards, in his many trips visiting high schools to interview prospective students for Clarkson, takes along hundreds of copies of the Integrator with him as well as the catalogs of the college. Copies of the Integrator are distributed to these high school students, and often, they reached the hands of their parents. Neutral Plans Fall Frolic; Sweetheart to Be Chosen by OLIE COLITTI Neutral's Fall Frolic time will soon be upon us. The date for the semiformal dance has been set as December 2. The boys of the club want to let it be known that all the girls in this locale should be on their hes' behavior cause as an added attraction Neutral will soon be picking a Fall Frolic Sweet- heart. So let's show our best advantages, girls. 0 Pi O is very happy to welcome into their fra- ternal midst two new members; Bill Taylor, a BA senior, av.d Donald Drews, a BA instructor. Christian Wow's 'Em Sig the first on the list for prerush smokers, held their last Monday nite. Multi gallons of cider were consumed by the large turn-out which jump- ed to the tunes of Mackey's Dixieland Jazz and rocked wiih laughter at the \sad\ jokes of Christ- ian and company. A certain Mr. R. V. Martin is trying to make Neutral famous (or infamous) and is making the Massena road more than dangerous. So far only three cars have been wrecked. The one and only Barry Nelligan blew in at 30 Elm last weekend. To this day, things have not quite-returned to normal at that house. Barry was really all out for the team on the field Saturday; in fact he offered them quite a bit of pep. Love Steps In House Party returns are all in—I can safely say that a great time was had by all. The party at the Knotty Pine was such a huge success it even, brought the roof down. Don Vair and Don Henschel both succumbed that evening and pinned their datee Romance was in the air at the Karma out- ing too, Choo-Choo pinned his girl lovely that eve- ning—at exactly midnite. Also or. the \hill\, Russ (I had a date last year) Lombardo had a date this year too—wonders will never cease Beacom's icebox lost its running legs three miles from the Burg. It seems that the Wires under the dash just went—poof. Beak's car wasn't the onlv thing overloaded that evening. Through a straw vote taken to decide who was better looking, Ted Kudzy or Russ Lombardo, the general concen- sus of opinion favored \Adonis\ Kudzy. Everyone agreed, since he is in love again (third time this semester) and he needs the moral support of his brotherhood. MacManus Inc. Trive At Lambda The \Topper Casino\ at Lambda went over big, and so were the bets going across the tables. The \banker takes all\ table was losing dough hand over fist till the \shiftless\ Doc took over the table. Andy Johnson took the prize for the best dressed male. His getup was an exact duplicate of a dap- per Gav Ninetier. Ole Buckteeth McManus copped the girl's prize. Miss McGee and Mr. Maclaren were there, too. The Norwood Inn was close enough for most of the L. I. cars to make, but not the McGint Steamer. But Bill has some of that ole Chivalry He steered the car while Betty got out and pushed. No wonder her gown looked so-lovely. The rain drops really did something for that velvet. FRIDAY, NOV. 10, 1950 CLARKSON INTEGRATOR PAGE THREE \fill Hail to Clarkson\ by WALT LISZEWSKI \All Hail to Clarkson\ by Walt Liszew- ski is the latest contribution to the Inte- grator's drive for original college music. Liszewski, a senior and member of Kar- ma, wrote the song during the past sum- mer. Responding to the Integrator's edi- torial in the October 21 issue, he first sub- mitted his song to Harold Jebo and then to the Integrator. Liszewski and Mr. Jebo collaborated in writing the words. A grad- uate of Amsterdam High School where he studied harmony, Liszewski plays the trumpet and the piano. M N*M| Y* a«*j«Jj <Mo.,y-J»*'.

Prof. Larsson Shows Math Group How to Have Math and Eat It Too \Introduction to Nomographs\ was the subject of a talk given by C. James Uskavitch, instructor in electrical engineering, at the Math Club's second regular meeting held on November 6, 1950. The solution to the first month's math problem was also offered by Professor Robert E. Larsson, faculty advisor for the Math Club. Mr. Uskavitch introduced to the Math Club a graph that enables j one, by the aid of a straightedge, j to read off the value of a depend- ent variable when the value of the independent variable is given. The problem for October was solved by Prof. Larsson. The pub- lem was to divide a circular cake among five people using only a knife. The entire cake had to be used and no one person could de- sire to have or try to obtain more cake than any other person. Each person had to be satisfied with both his part and the parts of the others. The solution, stated Professor Larsson, is as follows: one person indicates with a knife the size of the piece of cake which he desires He then asks the other persons in turn if thev are satisfied with the size nf his selection. If so, he is allowed (o cut his piece. He is then removed from further considera- tion since he has full-filled the second condition of the problem. If one of the other persons ob- jects tn the size of the piece indi- cated by the first person, the ob- jector must show the size of the piece which he thinks the first person should have. The objector must then receive the piece of cake which he decided the size of rather than the first person as long as the rest of the persons present do not object to his choice. The above person has a piece of cake. The last man will receive what is left of the cake and will be satisfied with his share since he did not object to the share of the man preceeding him. All the conditions of the problem will then be satisfied. FROSH BIBLES GO SCHOOLS TO HIGH Phns X-mas Convocation Tech Choir to be Heard The Board of Governors announced today that plans for a Christmas Convocation are being made. The pro- gram will be supervised by Prof. R. J. McGill, director of the Clarkson Glee Club. In addition to student par- ticipation in the convocation, the choir will be featured. The Board also revealed plans for the publicizing of a quarterly report on their activities to appear in the next Integrator. Two hundred copies of Pi Delta Epsilon's Freshman Handbook are being distributed to high schools, Editor John Anson said today. The journalism society made a gift of these copies to Loren Ed- wards, director of secondary rela- tions. The handbooks are being given to high pchonl guidance di- rectors fur use in displays and col- lections of various college publica- tions. Debators to Travel For Vermont Meet Clarkson's debating teams will compete tomorrow at the Univer- sity of Vermont in a debating meet consisting of fifty-eight other colleges and universities. The question is \Resolved: That non-Communist nations of the world should foi-m a new interna- tional organization.\ Bob Varley, >unior, and Jack Stuart, junior, are on the affir- mative team, Jerry Moore, junior, and Bob Smith, sophomore, com- pose the negative team. Both teams will meet teams of other colleges in a series of four debates. They will be criticized by debating coaches to eliminate their weaknesses. The debators will be accom- panied by Prof. Bruce Bell, -Jhe coach, who will also act as a critic for other teams. This meet is an annual affair sponsored by the University of Vermont, but thin is the first time Clarkson has entered. Clarkson's team was started only last year. The debators and the coach will stay in a local hotel in Burlington and participate in the ban<jue ! which will close the ueei MU r- day night. In concluding the pledging ac- | tivities of Tau Beta Pi, Charles i Kurner, chairman of the Freedom Crusade campaign for Potsdam, i announced that 2411 signatures j were collected in the period cov- ' ering two evenings. This movement was widely ac- claimed by a local paper, The Potsdam Herald in an editorial: \We think it is fitting that college organization join in the commun- ity life. Such a project as the Cru- sade for Freedom provdes an ex- cellent opportunity for college af- filiation.\ Douglas Relyea and Lewis Mor- gan, both seniors in the chemistry department, entertained the mem- bers of the Student Chapter of the American Chemical Society at their regular meeting with a demonstration of some interesting properties of plastics. Such talks by the membc-is nf the organization are a regnlaj feature of the club; the aim being to give all members a chance to address the group and simultan- eously present material of interest. to the membership. The next regular meeting will be on Thursday, December 7. Lhey had our slow-moving brother moving at too fast ^HHP^ a pace with those quick-trick cigarette tests! A fast puff... a swift sniff ... a quick inhale... a rapid exhale. Terrapin's head was spinning — didn't know if he was coming or going! But he slowed down to his own •peed — decided there was no need to rush. After all, he figured, how could anyone possibly prove cigarette mildness so fast? And he was right, too! That's why we suggest: The sensible test ... the 30-Day Camel Mildness Test, which simply asks you to try Camels as your steady smoke — on a pack after pack, day after day basis. No snap judgments needed. After you've enjoyed Camels — and only Camels — for 30 days in your \T-Zone\ (T for Throat, T for Taste) we believe you'll know why ... More People Smoke Camels than any other tigarette!
