Dr. Dugan Addresses
College Club
Not All Slackers Are
Draft Evaders
" Not fill slackers are included in
the draft age," said the Rev. George
Dugan, chairman of the district appeal hoard for Albany county, in an
address on "The Slacker" yesterday afternoon before the College
Club. ,
"It is hard to determine who are
the patriots and who are the slackers in these days, but we are certain many more people come under
the category of the slacker than
have tried to evade the military
draft law. That percentage, all
things considered, was extremely
low according to the estimates
marie by national boards: The men
who did evade the law were in mostcases mistaken or perhaps ignorant, but the men who are every day
evading moral responsibilities arc
legion.
"The significance of the word
slacker is not profound. It means
one who is slack, Hut the word as
it has come to be recognized everywhere since the English used it as
a term of contempt for men who
evaded the call to arms, has a
greater significance than can be
well determined in words. Its new
content will have a big part to play
in the vocabulary of the future and
its meaning will not be misunderThe man who is loosely

opinion, there is the slacker for
you. lie has no character and no
realization of the responsibilities
which are resting on him.
' W e used to have a forgiving
spirit for the man or woman who
went along in bis or her own gait
in an easy, careless, selfish sort of
way. We treated tlicm with indulgence. But that time has long since
passed. The man or woman who
evades responsibilities is just as
much a slacker as the chap who
plays tricks on the exemption
board. We arc passing through a
critical period and it is up to each
one of us to discover our own
measure of responsibility and then
fulfill it
"There are more slackers in the
churches of Albany than ever came
before the exemption board. The
women who sit at cards all day
when there . arc great issues at
stake are as worthy of contempt
and we have just as much cause to
ostracize them from society as the
military evader, The man whose
religion is in his wife's name is just
as liable to harsh treatment as the
man who tries t< lose weight so
that he may be exempted from service. What arc people thinking of
when they evade the tasks which
are before them? They say they
will not consider the many things
which need doing nowadays. They
have no time, their business, that
of keeping the home or earning
money, takes all their energy and
strength. Some one has to do the

it? Not the slacker hut the people

brand them as such, the better for

RED CROSS NOTES
There is a greater demand than
ever sr surgical dressings. Mrs.
Kinni ir is at the Red Cross room
every Tuesday and Thursday from
i to' 5. She will have the materials with which to make the "front
iline packets" for individual soldiers. These arc very essential,
for every soldier who goes into the
first line trenches has one of these
packets with him. All who possibly
can, come to room Bi, Tuesdays
and Thursdays, and help make
them. Girls, you who do not help
when you have the available time
are just as much " slackers " as the
men who are trying to evade the
draft.

State College Puts Up Good Fight

Loses Game By Two Points
The Slate College for Teachers
DOCTOR ALFRED
basketball team lost its opening
THOMPSON ADDRESSES game
of the season to Manhattan
STUDENT ASSEMBLY college of New York Friday night
Doctor Alfred Thompson of
Hrockport, N, Y,, addressed the
assembled students on Friday
morning, December seventh. Doctor Thompson ranks high in educational circles of the State, and
has had experience in all kinds of
educational work, His subject was
"The School and the Job." In
brief, he spoke as follows;
"Opportunity stays but a moment, passes quickly by, may be
seized only as met, and when once
passed can never be caught,
"Our great public schools arc our
chief defense, our bulwark of democracy, our opportunity. At the head
of the public school system stands
the high school. The high school
should fit not only for higher education, but for the active duties of
life as well. One of the most important aims of the high school is
to prepare students for college.
Whether a high school accomplishes this or not, is a sure test of
its efficiency. College gives depth
of knowledge and breadth of view
necessary in this age of keen competition. College gives traditions
which will help keep a man straight
while he is struggling for ground
to fight on. The time has gone by
when any but college trained men
and women can hold important
positions.
".Many people cannot go to college. Tt is the duty of the high
school to fit these less fortunate for
their jobs, as well.
The actual
duties that these people will have
to perform in their several positions cannot all be taught by the
high school, but certain principles
can be instilled into each pupil
which will help him whatever his
later
occupation.
Efficiency,
promptness, push and patriotism
are among the these principles.
Given these and the proper coordination between head, hand, and
heart, and the individual has the
tools with which to erect a happy,
useful life.

in the Albany High school gymnasium, the score being 26 to 24,
The contest was close throughout.
'I'he winner was in doubt until the
final whistle.
Stale College, although outweighed, played a sterling game
and kepi the Manhattan players on
the jump every minute.
Roth
teams passed the hall in great style
and the fans saw some fast basketball.
Fitzgerald, captain of the Teachers' five, and Barry, former star
of the Troy High School, put up an
excellent game for the Albanians.
Harry was too fast for the New
York players and carried the ball
the length of the court several
times.
He and Fitzgerald also
broke up Manhattan's passwork
several times.
Winters, Manhattan's left forward, was the big individual Star,
He caged (he ball four times from
the field and ten limes from the
foul line. It was his baskets from
the field and foul line that kept the
New York team ahead in the second half.
State College took the lead in the
first minute of play when Fitzgerald scored from (he foul line.
Manhattan, however, tied things up
when Winters scored on a foul try.
Fitzgerald followed this up by caging another foul. Noonan of Manila! tan caged the first field goal of
the game when he took a pass from
Winters under the basket. Manhattan rolled its score up to eight
points on field baskets by Winters
and Noonan. Barry caged the first
field goal for State College on a
long shot. Manhattan ran its score
up to eleven points by clever passing and shooting. State College
made a spurt near the end of the
half and cut down the New York
team's lead. The score at half time
was_ 73 to 10, with Manhattan
leading.
Fitzgerald opened the second half
by caging the ball on a shot from
the side of the court. State College
took the lead when Barry carried
the ball the length of the court and
caged it. Manhattan tied the Albanians when Winters scored from
the foul line. Manhattan then drew
away from the Albanians and field
baskets by Winters and Howlett
nut them out of danger. State College made another sensational finish in the last few minutes of play,
but was two points behind when
the final whistle sounded.
; Barry, State College forward,
and Noonan, Manhattan guard,
were put out of the game in the
second half by committing a disqualifying foul, Curtin of (he State
College was also ordered from the
game in the second half for committing four personal fouls. Score;

MEN'S " GET TOGETHER "
GREAT SUCCESS
At eleven o'clock Saturday night
a bunch of State College men gathered in the Fssex were asking one
another "who would have believed
it?" "What has brought about this
change?" "I never saw such college spirit here as shown last night
and to-night." Some held that it
had been brought by the Frosh,
some that the new Dean was the
cause, and others that Dr, Brubacher's plans were beginning to
work. Whatever their ideas as to
cause, all agreed that the Men's
Gct-to-Gethcr had been the biggest
social event for men in the past
three years.
The event was engineered by
Coach Marouey who covered himself with glory. Prof. Rislcy was
master of ceremonies,— enough
said. About seventy Faulty members and students participated.
Coach Maroney,began his program

STEP-SINGING AGAIN
We, as a college, have practically no traditions. The graduate from
Harvard, Yale, Colgate, or Cornell returns to his Alma Mater, to find
the traditions of his day still in vogue, the old songs still being sung.
The halls may have taken on a different aspect, the friends of his
college days may have grown few in number as the years have passed,
but the traditions and the songs still remain unchanged. They are the
links which really bind him to his Alma Mater.
It would be most pleasant to return to this institution, ten, twenty,
or.even thirty years from now, and find the ceremonies that had been
inaugurated during our college days being carried out; find the songs
that had been written by members of our class, being sung.
We are so situated that we cannot do many of the things that other
colleges can, but we have one feature of which we ought to be
particularly proud. This is our impressive steps on the Western
Avenue side of this building. Let us make use of them.
The plan for step-singing is this: During the warm autumn and spring
days, the student 'body is to congregate upon the steps, at an hour when
the greatest number can be present,— perhaps around five o'clock in the
afternoon. Here it is to sing class songs and college songs. Each
class is to'have its special position on the steps,—this position to be
traditional, On "Moving-U.p Day," a special ceremony is to be carried
out, when the Seniors, with an appropriate song, give up their place on
the steps, to the Juniors, who take it, as they sing their class song,
Members of the faculty have approved of this movement. Myskania
approves. Students have voiced their enthusiasm. Members of the
Sophpmore Class are working now on class songs, which arc to be sung
by that class at a series of " Class Sings " to be held in the rotunda
of this building, until the_weather permits " o u t d o o r " singing.
But, students, this project cannot be carried out by a few enthusiastic
persons. It cannot be carried out by one class.
W E ALL HAVE AN EQUALLY IMPORTANT PART IN MAKING I T A SUCCESS.
Let us all take an interest.
Let us all become enthusiastic.
Let us, the student body as a whole, join hands in this matter for the
glory of OUR Alma Mater.
REPORT OF STUDENTS' FRIENDSHIP WAR FUND
paid in to your local treasurer, who should forward partial payments
regularly to the National Treasurer, Francis S. Phraner, Room 1817, 25
Madison Avenue, New York City.
Let Us make a record for promptness in sending in money and closing
up accounts.
PAY NOW
The time set for the payment of Student Friendship Fund pledges was
January ist. However, as we shall not be at college then the time will
probably be extended to January 4th, and even then the usual number
of people will beg for more time, It is easy to believe that if we put off
payment until after the.vacation, the money will come harder then than
now. Not half of our assessment lias come in, and there are but ten days
before vacation. Make an extra effort to pay before then, so that this
matter can lie settled up promptly. Do not delay but make out the
check now and turn it in. The name of the college is involved in this
matter — it is a question of our reputation. VVc do not want to get the
name of being sluggards. Our honor men did not wait for the draft. They
volunteered — paid in advance. Let us do as they have done, mindful
ever that our many small sacrifices cannot balance their one great one.
As you conic in the building these last few clays of college, when you
see first our National flag, and then our service flag — the one meaning
our love and the other our honor—remind yourself to meet this test of
your loyalty. Pay your pledge now!
SING!
That we all like, want and need to sing needs no proof. All ovCi the
city groups of students gather in the boarding houses and sing,— but
there is seldom a combination of all of the groups. Once only have
we had a " College Sing." More are coming,— maybe.
Every Monday evening there is held a public " s i n g " in the Auditorium
of the Education building. A few of our college students go, but very
few. Doubtless the reason is that we don't know what we're missing.
Each time the hall is packed, and the music is great! Patriotic and
popular songs are thrown on the screen and the famous director, Dr.
Alfred Hallam of New York leads in a hearty sing, The admission is
free, All we need do is go,— and we're welcome. Why can't we have a
"State College Night," and all turn out? A chance for a good gettogether, a good sing, and a chance to advertise our college. A chance
to show Albanians that we arc a real live State College, not "the Normal."
Students! Let's go! Let's sing! And be ready for unison singing at
our games!
TO THE EDITOR:
Owing to the great rush of men who are anxious to enlist in the Navy,
it is advisable that young men who arc planning to enlist will do so
before the last few days of the period. If they neglect it there is a
possibility that some will find they arc too late.

ON TO UNION
Friday night our team lost its first game to Manhattan by two points.
The game was a fast, clean one and llio' the score was against us, we
refuse to consider ourselves beaten. Friday night of this week we are
going to play and beat Clarkson. And then Saturday night ON TO
UNT0NI All college people should attend this game, going in a solid
body. The expenses total $1.05. There is no reason why every supporter of the Purple and Gold should not go ON TO UNION.
— The Noise Twins.
At least $1,000,000 from the students and faculty members was the
goal for the country. We went beyond it.
New York State took as its share at least $100,000. Did we reach it?
