W e have wondered Whether our editorial out-pourings Have been read by one, by all, or at all.

They have been Rather weighty theses But sincerely written—and meant.

We've omitted these During tins week. Not that there Is no subject worthy of our attention, For there is the Chorus concert tonight, Alumni game tomorrow. Something very worthwhile in the frosh Par ty the other night, But these and other things Speak for themselves, n'est-cc pas?

THE STATESMAN Well, vacation is over and everyone is

supposedly reaily to settle down and do some real intense studying. But, now about tlie people who have to rest up for a few days after a very strenuous vaca­tion? i suggest that they lake a few days off and do a good job of it.

I hope that everyone bad a very good vacation and Santa was guod to them. Were all the boy-friends and girl-friends back home as nice as they were before you came hack to school last fall? That is one of those things in life. You know, that distance and enchantment and slulT.

1 have been led to believe that there is some high-pressure rushing being done by the different sororities. My, my, how unfair. Don't you eirls know that there is a set time for such things? Every year there is the same hairpulliug, etc., by opposing sororities. But, I guess that it is now a ease of "You tell oil me and I'll tell on you."

Perhaps it is pretty late to comment on the Christmas parlies, hut it is the first chance I've had.

It seems that Union college and Stale college gol together and hail one line brawl. Literally millions of men were present at most of llie parties, and a darn good lime was had by most of them. Things were going right along up until time for classes. And did you notice tlie dopey look on people's faces? My I my! After all I wonder if il is all worth while. People are slill trying to find out where Bill Leonard was. One enterprising young man, much lo bis astonishment, learned thai Howie Pember is left banded. I hits, coats, and almost every­thing that could be moved were either moved or lifted, One fellow lost a hat in ooe sorority and found it in another. I le was lucky.

Gossip: Why was Doris Howe biting her linger nails the other nigbl? . . . hurry home Worry Wart . . . Statis­tics show that Bancroft is now leading Alhreehl . . . Charlie AtWell has been lakeu hack into the fold at Phi Delia, maybe it was Christmas . . . A new men's club is slowly, but surely forming at State . . . Frank llardmeyer surely is no prophet . . .

Tin first was conducted last year when ., Fordham team met a Stale leant to di cuss adherence to the gold standard.

In his constructive argument, Gold­herger will argue thai private matin faeture of arms and munitions with mi tional control is heller than government ownership or dependence upon interna­tional agreement. "We do not thiol, llu world is yet ready for any form of - 1 ism, nor do we place our faith in scrap of paper," he added.

Junior Class Plans Annual Week-End

Junior week-end will begin with the annual prom to be conducted on Wash­ington's birthday, Friday night, February 22, at the Atirania club, South Allen street, according to a statement issued today by Edward Kramer, vice-president of the junior class and general chairman of junior week-end.

Tea dance will also be at the Aurania club on Saturday afternoon from 3:00 to 5:00 o'clock. Zella Winter, '36, is general chairman.

State Vanquishes Middleb ury Five

With 58-53 Score A savage display of offensive strength

carried a ragged but very powerful State quintet to an inspired victory over a strong Middle-bury Five. The score (58-53), indicates clearly the pattern of the game. Both squads concentrated on getting baskets and let the defensive angle of the game take care of itself.

It was not good basketball, perhaps (the mad total of 111 points reveals glaring defensive errors on both sides),— but it was a magnificent spectacle. No one who witnessed this wild orgy of hysterical, vicious combat will ever for­get bow a furiously scrappy squad of State men demanded—and received— victory from a team which we still believe is their physical superior.

_ Bob Murray's cool sharp.shooting pre­cision (2u honcst-to-goodness points of i t ) , Jerry Amyot's deftly executed, un-wearily accurate passes, the bard fighting floorwork of George Bancroft, and the inspired drive of the entire team, all fur­nished a spine-tingling thrill for all the State spectators, There may have been better teams on that Page hall gym in the past but we've never seen them.

If the Purple and Gold squad can hold the pace they set in this hectic fray they won't be defeated this season. This from an enthusiastic scribbler who lacks the adjectives to adequately pay tribute to the hardest lighting team be has ever seen in action,
