Happy New YearTo many of us, it might logically be hard to.

conceive of 1944 as a Happy New Year, for itwill probably go .down as the bloodiest year of .all history—a year in which mankind andcivilization were ruthlessly slaughtered to adegree hitherto unknown—a year of great sor-row for us and for our allies, brought on bythe terrible price that we must inevitably payfor success in what will doubtless be theclimax, the supreme test of our campaign toput down the few whose lust for power isresponsible for this hellish business of war.Looking at the complete picture, however,

we can still envision a Happy New Year, forwe can be confident that our God, our lead-ers, and we ourselves willmake it a year ofvictory.The ofi‘ensive plans for this victory have

already been laid, and it is a matter of but afew months or even a few days until the be-ginning of their fulfillment. The date for thelarge scale invasion of Hitler’s Europe hasbeen set, and when this terrific battle is won,we will carry the war home to Nippon for thefinal stage of complete victory.And so it is «that we look to 1944 to be a

year of much suflering and bloodshed, but alsothe year when free men will earn the right tostay free; hence we can still say—“HappyNew Year.”

Another Step ForwardCongratulations are in order for the faculty

members and research men on the campus!The granting of the charter for the estab-

lishment of a chapter of Sigma Xi at StateCollege is a well-deserved honor, and repre-sents another step in the rise of State Collegeto prominence among the technical institu-tions of the South and even of the entirenation.The all-important program of research, the

basis of this latest distinction, has been assum-ingever-increasing importance on the campus,and can logically be expected to contributefurther to the advancement of science and toour college’s reputation in the future. Ofcourse, this program has been temporarilyslowed down by the War and the presence ofthe many Armed forces units, the instructionof which is doubtless requiring much of thetime of many professors which could other-wise be devoted to research activities, but this.is obviously just another case of “When theWar’s over, . . .”We are justly proud of “our State College”

for this achievement.

THE TECHNICIAN

It has already begun to seem like a fantastic andlong-past dream—that Utopian period of school. lifecommonly referred to as Christmas holidays 'whenthe hours of sleep are counted on the fingers of atleast two hands instead of the usual one; whensweet, sweet slumber is not rudely broken by thenerve-wrecking, ungodly jangle of that fiendish littletorture mechanism, the xxxxxx (censored) alarmclock; and when afternoons are things which onehas a choice of spending at the movies, huntingrabbits and birds, or just hunting!But “tempus fugits along,” and we along with it,

sobereweareagainmoursdres (Mainsp-hasud sort of way) at this business of acquiring"an education.What did you do during the holidays? How many

hours did you bust last term? When are you goingto be “greeted,” and why did you bother to comeback, anyway?GIVE WITH THE GOSSIP: Since last moon, the

State College Campus and surrounding territoriesve experienced a tremendous amount of weather.

Now weather'is a thing which comes and goes. “Fortomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow—” ‘Uups,

. always running [into my Shakespeare—but gettingback to weather, during exam week, much time hadto be spent in defying the tremendously cold winterwinds. And along with the drop in mercury hasgone a drop in reports from our grape-vine receivingset. We want you to feel that you can confide, inus (giving your advisor keen competition). Anyway,what we need is more cooperation from youse guysabout the campus. How do you expect to read aboutyourselves if you don’t do something sensational andsee that the word gets. around. So, come on andgive with the gruesome details if you want to see itin print—that is, if; it will pass our RIGID censor-ship.MISCELLANEOUS: Many Sthte students were "

By HOWARD KADEN

This being the first issue of the new term, I'll start in by reviewing aterrificrecordbythe“Duke.”Ithasbeenreleasedunderthenewnameof “Do Nothing ’Til You Hear from Me,” but I have it in my collectionas “Concerto for Cootie.” Recently, the demand for new songs was sogreat that they changed the name and added words, making it a swellsong. Ellington’s record features the great trumpet work of “Coolie”Williams, who is one of the foremost exponents of the plunger mute. Itstarts off with theme played by Cootie, with the reed section playing avery smooth background. In the middle of the record, he takes out hismute and opens up with his broad and powerful tone. At this part, hischorus rings with familiar strains from the song, “Velvet Moon.” TheWkwfieflym, andvillbeenioyedhyfluhohear it.“The Wodd Is Waiting for the Sunrise,” by the Benny Mn

quartet, features Mel Powell on the piano. While attendmc hid! adioOII became very friendly with Mel, and I am sure that his success has notgone to his head. For as far back as I can remember, Mel played with astyle that was strictly his own.'A few years ago, B.G. discovered him,and he rose swiftly with the band. On this record is Benny, Mel, NickFatool on drums, and Artie Bernstein on bass. It opens with Bennyplaying the melody and a little improvisation, then some very goodpiano by Mel. Goodman breaks in again and continues until the end.On the reverse side is “Solo Flight,” featuring the guitar of the lateCharlie Christians.

PARAGRAPHICS . . .We would like to remind every campus organiza-

tion, large and small, to maintain close contact with Athe State College News Bureau. Directed by con-genial Rudolph Pate, the News Bureau is anxious to(cooperate with all student groups in seeing thattheir activities are well covered. If you have notalready done so, appoint a publicity man for yourorganization and give his name to Mr. Pate so thatthey may work together for benefit of both.

Our recent campaign to improve the conditions inthe cafeteria have met with the approval of manystudents, but as yet we haven’t received definiteopinions that represent the student body. We wishto invite you to express your Opinion in this paper.Address your letter to The Technician, Box 5308; allletters should be marked “for publication” or “notfor publication,” and all letters MUST be signed,slthoughtbesignaturewillbewifliheldifsuchisdesired.

Newton never has burned up theSouthern Conference with histeams, but you can be sure thatState College has been steadily im-proving since the days of “Hunk"Anderson, back in ’36. After New-ton took over, each State team wasan improvement over the one be-fore, until the war came along andknocked things into a cocked hat.When State opened its doors to

the Army, everyone thought thatwould make the ’t3 Wolfpack evenstronger, but evidently the Armydoesn’t look upon such things inthe same way as the Navy, and theboys in khaki were refused per-mission to participate in intercol-legiate athletics.

This left State and Newtonfaced with the problem of buildinga team out of 17-year-olds and4-F-ers, and this team was forcedto compete with the star-studdedline-ups of Duke, Carolina, and'thevarious other schools which haveNavy V-12 units on their campuses.As a result, State lost a lot of

games, but it wouldn’t be fair toblame it on the coach. Therefore,we think the committee will bemaking a grave mistake if theyfail to secure the services of“Doc” Newton for the comingyear.Intramural Director Miller

called a meeting last Tuesday nightof representatives from the dormi-tories and fraternities to beginplans for the intramural sportsprogram for this term.The main sport will be basket-

ball and possibly there will be anintramural swimming meet if itcan be arranged. Once again letus urge everyone to give this pro-gram his whole-hearted support.

New Cage leams Have

Sprung Up In SouthAll indications show that the

strongest cage teams in the South-ern Conference for the current sea-son will be made up of service men.Although some of the members

of the Conference will not be rep-resented on the court this year,their absence will be more thanmade up for by the various serviceteams which have sprung upthrough Virginia, Maryland andthe two Carolinas. - 'About 24 service teams have

mushroomed throughout the fourstates served by the Southern Con-ference. These teams are studdedwith former college stars who arenow playing for Uncle Sam.There will be several strong

squads in the Norfolk area. TheNaval Operating Base still hasMatt Zunic, former ace at GeorgeWashington, to make them one ofthe strongest teams‘ in that section.Up around Staunton, Va., a new

squad has sprung from the Army'snew Woodrow Wilson General Hos-pital. This fast-breaking five iscaptained, by Jack Snell, whoplayed guard at New York Uni-versity.The Bainbridge Navy team is

expected to be the strongest outfitin Maryland, but the teams fromGeorge Meade and Edgewood willmake the competition in Marylandkeen.

In this section, N. C. State, Duke,Carolina, Wake Forest and David-son will furnish a great deal of thecompetition for the service teamsin North Carolina.Camp Davis, Camp Butner, Fort

Bragg, Seymour Johnson Field,Cherry Point and the Camp Le-jeune Marines will be the stand-outs of the service quints.

All in all, everything points tosome fast and“ exciting contests be-tween the Conference members andthe service squads.

second pre-season game to the Sey-mour Johnson Field Flyers by thescore of 53 to 33. Improvement wasshown by the Terrors, but the ac-curate tosses of the Flyers keptthem safely in front. For State, itwas Stan Kohler leading the waywith 10 points. Howard Turner ‘with 8 and Keith Almond with 7were the runner-ups.

Playing with a smooth precisionfor the first time, the Red Terrorscame close to defeating Camp But-ner. The final score was 43 to 38..At the half time, Coach Jay’s fivewas trailing 24-12. But later theyfound the range and hit the basketfor 26 points. The replacement fivewas held to 18. Turner rang thebell for 12 points and was followedby Kohler and Almond with 10 and8 points respectively.These pre-season affairs helped

to reveal the weaknesses of theRed Terrors. As they gain moreexperience, the basketeers shouldreally begin to hit their stride;Keith Almond is the sole remainderof eleven letter-men from lastyear’s team which played in theSouthern Conference Tournament.Nine -' veterans and one reserveeligible to return this year are nowin. the services.

Importance of Good

liming In AthleticsBy DON SAPP

Did you ever wonder why you orsomebody else failed to hit a base-ball, or a crip shot in basketballwas misud, or a reverse play ended‘- . .‘nd the line of scrimmage, or adive that wasn’t properly executedflohndered, or a discus throw wentan unexpectedly short distance?Some use the familiar and wellsworn adage, “Bad luck,” to account

‘for the misfortune. The truth isthat “luck" may play only a smallpart in a success or failure.Coaches and athletes alike willvouch for the opinion that exacttiming is the key for a triumphantendeavor.Timing and teamwork supplies

the color and beauty that holds finattention and interest of the spec-tators. When you see a bumor football team in rare form, youmay be sure that their timing isperfect. Let a man be out of placeor the ball handling be poor andthe oflense bogs down. ' '
