STUDENT ASSEMBLY
Professor Risley Delivers Timely
Address.
On Friday morning, February
28, Professor A. VV. Kisley spoke
before the student body on the subject " Lessons from Other Peace
Conferences,"
His lecture was
given with his characteristic vim,
and evidenced thorough knowledge
of his topic.
The next lecture of the series
will be held Friday, March 14. Mr.
iiidley will speak on " The Balkan
Situation."
Professor Risley said that our
problems now are peace problems,
not war problems. He .pointed out
that our demands in this are different from others, in that ours
are spiritual and ideal while for
others it is bargain day and they

NEWMAN CLUB
A meeting of Newman Club was
held Monday in Room 211. Father
Dunncy spoke on the Mass—tracing its history from the origin, at
the Last Supper, through almost
two thousand years, during which
it has been celebrated every clay.
Newman Club is planning to receive Holy Communion in a body,
sometime during [-cut, and then
have breakfast in the cafeteria.
Margaret Flvun, '19, has charge of
the arrangements,
The next meeting of the Club is

SOPHOMORE SOIREE
1921 Gives Delightful Dance
The college gymnasium was the
scene of the Annual Soiree given
Friday, February 28, The dance
began ait the close of the HamiltonState game, and lasted until midnight. Those present included the
sophomore class members and their
guests and several of the faculty.
In the receiving line were; Reginald Bruce, class president, Mr.
Deyo, Mrs. Dcyo, Miss Louise
Carmody, Mr. Weaver, Mrs. Weaver, Dean fierce, Miss Dorothy
Beebe, and Alida Ballagh. To Amy
CI lib ley, chairman; Esther Cramer,
Alberta Silkwonh, and Esther Miller of the decoration committee
much praise is due for the effective
use of the class colors, red and
white. Palms, soft red lights,
sorority and fraternity banners
were also used to advantage.
O'Neil's orchestra furnished music.
The class banner occupied a
prominent position at one side of
the gymnasium. The freshmen attempted to make away with this
most cherished possession of the
sophomores, but the
lishpole
slipped, or someone stubbed his toe
getting in the window, and the
stunt failed.
Later in the evening refreshments were served in the cafeteria.
The class acknowledges gratefully the services of the committee
on music and refreshments in making this our first entertainment such
an unparalleled success, On this
committee were: Alicia Ballagh,
chairman; Catherine Ball, Esmarie
Darling, Helen Chase, William
Strain, Theodore Hill, Ralph Baker,
and Martin Barry.

PROFESSOR WALKER'S
LECTURE
At last Saturday's session of the
Americanization
institute,
Dr.
Adam Walker, Professor of Sociology, spoke on some of the economic aspects of immigration. The
salient features of his address are
quoted below:
"Immigration is said to be largely
a matter of competitive struggle
between standards of living, and
it is from that standpoint that this
discussion deals with the problem.
Connected with this phase of it several problems were dealt with, and
among these are housing conditions, food, wages, vice, pauperism,
crime, insanity, industrial efficiency,
trade unionism. Taking up the
first of these—housing conditions
—it was found that although the
slum has hitherto been a permanent condition, the dwellers in the
slum have changed character with
some degree of regularity. The

EDITORIALS
LOYALTY AND CRITICISM
Of aill things to be gained from
Professor Risley's lecture of last
Friday morning, perhaps the most
helpful is the realization that we,
as individuals of a nation, still possess the right to criticise our leaders. The audible gasp which followed
the speaker's
warning
against the allowance of too great
power to the President of the
United States, was evidence of the
fact that we arc partisans, or that
we have not awakened to the fact
that war is over and we are not
bound by blind devotion to the
principles of our leader. American
support of the administrative policies of the war was, no doubt, a
great factor in the victory. Loyalty MUST still be our attitude,
but unquestioning loyalty is not to
be demanded of anyone.
Not one of us has any feeling of
disloyalty. But, as Mr. Risley said,
our education gives us the right to
question, to discuss and to express
our just opinions. The fact that
Mr. Wilson has acted is not sufficient grounds for silent acceptance
of the act. To rank partisans thi'3
will be rank heresy. But free education should make nonpartisans
of us. The analogy between Bismarck, "the honest(?) broker," and
Wilson the moulder of European
opinion was startling, but was the
jolt we needed to waken us to a
realization of our rights of citizenship.
We appreciate Professor Risley's
emphasis on this point, and hope
that the spirit of the lecture will
grow.
NOT MISSING
In contrast to conditions noted
in an editorial contribution from
"sisters '19 and '21," published last
week, was the faculty action at the
Hamilton game. And back of this
is a> faculty act worthy of high
commendation. Through the efforts of Dean Horner a .petition
was circulated, asking for the reservation of a men's section with the
State College " rooters," The direct
result was a solid section of State
College men on the north side
bleachers, whose lusty voices supported cheer leader AlcMaliou 111
yelling the purple and gold over the
top.
But that is not all. With the men
of the college sat a delegation of
faculty men, headed by our President and our Dean. It i3 unfortunate that these men could not
have heard the expressions of approval and delight which came
from the student body.
To,those students who arc so
fortunate as to have consultations
with the faculty officials, the act
was not unexpected. They have
found the extremely human side of
these men already. But there arc
hundreds of students who leave
State College without the knowledge of the existence of this human
side, The men's " get-together "
of last year was a splendid start toward unity of feeling, And this
was instigated by the faculty. It
is to be regretted that the movement was not kept up this year.
Faculty interest in student extracurriculum activities is awakening,
A full realization of "common
ground" for faculty and student
body will do more, perhaps, for
State College spirit than any other
thing. Now that interest is started,
let us stimulate it, Let us do our
half, yes, our two-thirds, of the
part in trying to find and keep the
common meeting ground of faculty
and student body.
TWO LETTERS OF
APPRECIATION
S. Ralph Harlow and W. Q. Swart
Write of Student Volunteer
Conference
President Brubacher has given
to the " News " for publication two
letters of appreciation of State College's hospitality during the Student Volunteer Conference of last
week. The letters follow:
My Dear Dr. Brubacher:
I want to thank you, both for the
State Union and for myself, for the
kind hospitality which you extended to us during the Conference.
We appreciated very much your
personal interest and all that you
did for us. The girls who worked
with us showed splendid management and cooperation and you have
a right to be justly proud of them.
Sincerely yours,
W. Q. SWART.
Dear Dr. Brubacher:
Please accept
my heartiest
thanks for your kind entertainment
during the Conference. In every
possible way I was made to feel
at home, both here at the club and
at the college.
It is my good, fortune to attend
many of these State Conferences
throughout the country and it is
exceptional where the welcome to
the delegates is not most cordial,
but let me say that in few conferences have I felt a warmer, more
wholesouled, welcome than that
given us by your students here at
State, The atmosphere of the college has been most cordial. Let me
in particular commend the young
ladies of the cafeteria who served
us delicious meals throughout the
Conference and who were consistently eager to please and serve.
Much credit is due them,
Be sure that this entire group
of students and leaders will carry
away splendid thoughts of Albany
and of State College.
Thanking you again, I am,
Cordially yours.
S. RALPH HARLOW.

ISN'T IT SO?
Say, folks, do you realize that we
arc hiding our light under a bushel?
it's a fact I That's the worst of
college. There arc just a few who
sing and play, at our different functions. We sure do enjoy and appreciate their elTorts, but it's a
shame to call on them continually.
And here's where the hidden light
comes in. There is just heaps of
talent in State College that is kept
in the dark. Perhaps the talented
ones are shy, perhaps they arc
modest and underestimate their
gifts. Wouldn't it be just great if
we had a series of programs, or
something on that order, in which
we might hear our singers perform? (That isn't our suggestion,
but it is the suggestion of one of
our faculty who is interested in the
latent talent of State Colclgc.) So
think it over, everybody. If you do
not sing or play perhaps you know
someone who does, and if we ever
do have such a thing as a series of
"try-outs" just hand in the name
of that person to the committee in
charge,
Can't sing? Can't play? Awg'wanl

to perform alone, how about a duet,

native inhabitants of those areas
were succeeded by the Irish when
Irish immigration set in. These
were displaced by the Italians and
Jews, who in turn are being displaced by Greeks, Syrians and
others. Slum conditions from the
standpoint of congetsion were
dealt with as to the number of
rooms per apartment, number of
persons per household, number of
persons per room and number of
persons per sleeping room, together with the effect of these conditions upon self respect, cleanliness and decency. The fact that
the household of the foreign born
usually contained a large number
of boarders was considered in the
same connection."
"The slum as a training ground
for citizenship or for effective industrial efficiency is a failure."
" Upon wages, it is probable that
immigration has had a depressing
effect as a whole, and certainly has
prevented the natural rise in
wages which the native workmen
had a right to expect in the last
half century,"
"Pauperism has been increased by
immigration. There is no satisfactory evidence that immigration
has resulted in an increase in crime
out of proportion to the increase
of the adult male population. But,
on the other hand, the character
of crime has been changed and in
the direction of personal violence
and away from crime against property. The insane whose maintenance by the State constitutes
an appreciable public burden has
been increased by immigration as
a result of racial traits, change of
climate, change of occupation and
habits of life,"

First Broker: " Some people are

who is born with plain common
sen3e is one of them."
From Willie's Essay
We onghta cat more fish. The
fish is a clean animile you will
never see it romping in the dusty
road or scratching in the dirt and
it takes a bath every day whether
it needs it-or not."
Just Like Dad's
" Now, my little man," said the
barber, " how would you like your
hair cut?"
"Just like papa's," little Joseph
replied, " with a rolind hole at the
top."

So Do Most of Us
" H o w did the seed get into the
orange? " asked Evelyn.
" Why, silly, it grew there," said
Mary.
" Well," said Evelyn, " I wish it
had grown on the outside."
Given Away
Conjurer.—" Now, to help me
with this next trick, 1 want the
services of a boy — just any boy
in the audience. Yes, you will do,
my little man; come along. Now,
you've never seen me before, have
you?"
Boy (innocently),—"No, father!"
Not So Foolish
Sambo had been haled before the
court on a charge of chicken-stealing. A great deal of very damaging
testimony had been submitted to
substantiate the charge. There
was no lawyer present to defend
Sambo, and when the prosecution
had completed its case the judge
turned to him and said:
"You are charged with stealing
chickens; have you any witnesses? "
"No, sub!" answered Sambo.
" When I steal chickens I don't
have no witnesses! "
Flattery Did It
" You seem able-bodied and
healthy; you ought to be strong
enough to work," she remarked
scrutinizingly.
"Yes, ma'am, I know. And you
seem beautiful enough to be on the
stage; but evidently you prefer the
simple life."
He got a meal without any further reference to work.
Diplomatic
Mr. Blank—"Did you tell the
cook that the beefsteak was
burned?"
Mrs, Blank—"Mercy, no! She
would leave instantly. I told her
it was just right, but that we preferred it a trifle underdone."
A Prophet
Lady of the House (to her cook)
—" Miranda, I'm going to make
you a present of my last summer's
dress,"
Miranda—"How many guests
does you expect for dinner, Mis'?"
Perseverance
One of the German grand dukes
said to Ambassador Gerard, when
he was still lii the embassy at Berlin:
"Germany will win the war, Mr.
Gerard, with perseverance; for, as
you know, perseverance always
conquers."
"Always?" asked Mr. Gera>rd.
"How about the hen on the china
egg?"

Getting Even
Butcher: "This pound of butter
you sent me is three ounces short."
Grocer: "Well, I mislaid the
pound weight, so I weighed it by
the pound of chops you sent me
yesterday."
Pure Immagination
The teacher was trying to give
her pupils an illustration of the
word ''perseverance."
"What is it," she asked, "that carries a man along rough roads and
smooth roads, up hill and down,
through the jungles of doubt and
through the swamps of despair?"
There was a silence, and then
Johnny, whose father was an automobile dealer, spoke up:
"Please, ma'am," he said, "There
ain't no such automobile."
Well, Willie Couldn't!
"Why, Willie," said his mother,
"how is it you only got sixty in
mathematics this month, and last
month you got ninety?"
"It ain't my fault; the teacher
moved the boy in front of me to
the first seat."
Constant Variety
Crawford: "Don't you find that
home-cooking
becomes
rather
monotonous?"
Crabshaw: "Not at our house.
My wile has a new cook every few
weeks."
They Clean Up Just the Same
"I shouldn't say a word about
our army, I know," said Mrs. Muffin, "but, really, they must be sadly
in need of a good, competent
housekeeper at those camps—it's
something scandalous the way the
papers tell about them dining in a
mess all the time."
The Wrong Direction
A teacher was explaining to her
class that if one wished to do anything well one had to begin at the
bottom, when a voice from the
back interrupted her:
"How about swimming, teacher?"
CLIPPING
The following clipping, taken
from a Western publication, voices
the sentiments of many a student
who endured the rigors of a college S. A. T. C :
T H E S. A. T. C.
Students' Army Training Corps,
You sure made US awful sorps;'
Clumsy, tiresome, hopeless borps.
We were shot — but s h e d no
gorps—
Studied little, pokered morps,
leaked the campus, scrubbed the
dorps,
Played the p e e l e r , watched a
storps,
Soaked up goulash, learned to
snorps;
Had experiences galorps
'Nough to make an angel rorps.
Now, imposter, all is orps;
Fare you well — please shut the
dorps,
Students' Army Training Corps.

What Else Could Happen
"This is a very sad case, very sad
indeed," said the doctor, "I much
regret to tell you that your wife's
mind is gone—completely gone."
"I'm not a bit surprised," answered the husband. "She has been
giving me a piece of it every da'
fo.r the last fifteen years."

She Knew
The young bride went to the
grocery store to do her morning
marketing. She was determined
that the grocer should not take advantage of her youth and inexperience,
"These eggs are
dreadfully
small," she criticized.
"I know it," he answered, "but
that's the kind the farmer brings
me. They arc just fresh from the
country this morning."
"Yes," said the bride," and that's
the trouble with those farmers.
They are so anxious to get their
eggs sold that they take them off
the nest too soon."
