LETTERS TO
Editor of College News:
Friday evening, October 27,
1916, the Seniors gave a reception to the Freshman Class.
May I ask what composes the
Freshman Class? I recognized, among those present,
familiar faces from both the
Milne and
Albany
High
Schools. I doubt that these
persons were even invited, for
they came alone. Moreover,
they have absolutely no interest in our college except for
free dances and receptions. Is
it necessary that our college
gymnasium, the only place we
have for such functions, should
be thrown open to these people? It means, simply, that
some people, who have a just
claim to the privileges of our
ADMISSION TO JUNIORFRESHMEN FROLIC
TO BE BY TICKET.
In a joint-meeting of the
Social
Committee of
the
Faculty and that of the Junior
Class with President Brubacher, it was decided that the
admission to the Junior-Freshnien Frolic on Friday evening
should be by ticket only.
These tickets can be secured
by members of the Junior and
Freshmen classes and are good
only for the admission of

friend being anybody the
bearer of the ticket wishes to

CIATION TO BE
FORMED.
The
State
College
for
Teachers is already on the
map; it remains for us to make
it as prominent there as the
Adirondacks or the Great
Lakes. To that end an association or club is to be formed
to-day which will have as its
chief purpose the spreading of
news concerning the college
over the State, wherever there
are papers which will publish
it — which 'means wherever
there are friends of the college
who will be interested in hearing its weekly history, The
association is to be composed
of students wo will represent
the papers of their towns,
cities, or counties, as correspondents, and will reccve pay
for their contributions.
It
should furnish an interesting
way of making a little money
now, and may very well establish relations with newspapers which will continue to
be valuable to the student
after he becomes a teacher.

SENIOR RECEPTION
A SUCCESS.
The reception given by the
Seniors to the Freshmen and
Faculty Friday, evening, was a
great success. The gym was
decorated in keeping with the
hallowe'cn spirit with cornstalks and pumpkins and the
lights dimmed with red, the
1917 class color.
Zita's Orchestra furnished
music for the occasion. The
only unpleasant feature was
the crowded condition on the
door, it being almost impossi'ble to dance m-comfort. The
committee in charge of the
affair consisted of Reinhard
