Eastern Inter - Collegiate Athletic
Association Meets
Coach Maroney Represents State
New York State College was
represented by Coach Arthur C.
Maroney at the first annual meeting of t'ne Eastern Intercollegiate
Athletic Association, which was
held Saturday, April 22, at Nysett
Club, Springfield, Mass.
Representatives were present from many
of the eastern colleges and were
entertained at » luncheon by the
Springfield Hoard of Trade. The
members voted to approve the constitution as read. Under this constitution there will be no hammer
throwing event. For years many
colleges have tried to do away with
this event, because it is so dangerous to both the competitors and
the onlookers. We are pleased to
sec this event discarded. Another
change will be the awarding of
prizes for first, second, third and
fourth, instead of just first, second
and third. All other events and
rules governing the events will be
the same as the New England Collegiate meet and the annual meet
will take place at Springfield the
second Friday and Saturday of
May, which is one week before the
New England meet and two weeks
before the . big inter-collegiate
which is held at the University of
Pennsylvania each year, A meeting of the representatives of all the
colleges members of the Association will take place once a year,

Recital April 3
Th^rc will be a Lenten recital of
music in the Auditorium on the
evening of April 3, under the direction of the faculty.
The performers are persons of
rare ability and promise a musical
treat.' Miss Helen Thompson of
New York City, sister of Dr. Harold Thompson of the faculty, will
give selections upon the piano.
Mrs. Marie Bernardi Taafe, of this
city, will sing. Mrs. Taafe was
formerly contralto soloist at the
Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, and is now soloist at the
First Presbyterian Church.
The chance to listen to a program such as will be presented by
these artists, is one that cannot be
passed by. Every student should
plan to be present. There will be
a limited number of tickets available to outsiders. The detailed
program will follow in a later issue.
Father Birdsall, rector of Grace
Church in this city, addressed the
members of the Canterbury Club
in St. Andrew's Guild Room on
Monday, March 17.
The . meeting which 'was the
last one of the year, was well attended. At a short business session
the club members decided to omit
the April meeting, since it conflicts
with Easter vacation and to close
the year's activities with a party
some time in May. Election of
officers will take place before the
close of the school year.

EDITORIALS
A NEW ALMA MATER
)
llcfore discussing the contest for
a new alma mater, some mention of
the old should be made. In the
first place, "Alma Mater, Jieloved
Dear College" is not to be forgotten. It was written by the late
Dean Leonard A. Blue of State
College, ami was set to music arranged by Professor Beldiug. For
this reason k will always have its
i>iace in any collection of State
College songs. Doubtless it will
be one of the few most sung.
The call for a new alma mater
conies because of several reasons.
The one wc now use, and the one
mentioned above, is written too
high, or has too great a range for
the average college student, For
proof of this, listen to the distinct
falling-off of voices at the " high
spots" during unison singing.
Again, it is too difficult, or else
otherwise faulty, else why does not
everyone know his alma mater?
We need an alma mater which
everyone can, and will loam.
Moreover, it is not .in every detail a true alma mater. It is not
distinctly a State College song, for
its musical setting is adapted from
.another source. Our alma mater
should have words and music belonging.strictly to State College.
b'or some time .students have
been suggesting a change. .Many
wish to have "College of the Empire State " adopted. Perhaps this
would be wise. Yet it has seemed
advisable to open a contest for new
and original songs.
Because of the deep-felt need for
a distinctly State College song, and
because of frequent student petition for a new alma mater, M'yskania has inaugurated a contest.
This contest is open to all students
and faculty. Words and music are
most desired, but contributions of
words,
with
suggestions
for
adopted settings, will be considered. No pecuniary prize is offered, but the distinct honor of
being the composer of one's alma
mater should be a sufficient impetus
for many contributions,
The contest closes April 25th,
the Friday after Easter vacation.
Considering the number of musicians and poets among faculty and
students, it is to be hoped that a
splendid new State College alma
mater, will be written and christened moving-tip day.
A recent editorial in the " News"
spoke of the lack of musical attractions at State College, This condition must 'be admitted and
lamented. Some day, perhaps, conditions will change. Music Club is
a fair start.
But, while we lament, why do we
not grasp the musical opportunities
we have? There are frequent recitals, open to everyone. Just now
there are two rare opportunities
awaiting our seizure. Wednesday
afternoons during the Lenten season, Dr. Thompson, of our own
faculty, is giving a scries of organ
recitals at the First Presbyterian
church. The hour is live o'clock,
and the cliurch is at the corner of
State and Willed streets.
Dr.
Thompson is tin organist of unusual ability, and of growing repute.
He presents some splendid programs—giving numbers well worth
hearing. Yet, last week only one
faculty member and three students
beard his splendid recital.
Again, Harry Russell, ex-'18, is
also presenting a series of Lenten
recitals at the Cathedral of All
Saints on Thursday evenings, State
College students who are spending
the evening at the library will find
it profitable to step into this " little
church around the., corner " for an
hour's inspiration. Who will say
work will not go better afterward?
On April third Miss Helen
Thompson, sister to Dr. Thompson,
and Mrs. Taal'e, will give a recital
in our own auditorium, Both ladies
are accomplished artists, and
should be greeted by a packed
auditorium.
Here are three splendid opportunities^ Will we grasp them, or
will we forget or neglect to do so?
ARE YOU PUSHING?
I low much are they going to
mean to you? Will you look back
upon these four years as the happiest four years of your life? Will
State College be in truth your
"alma mater—kind mother?" No?
Weil, don't you think college ought
to mean all that, and if it doesn't,
that something is wrong somewhere? It may. be the institution,
or it may be you. Let's assume for
the sake of argument that it is you,
You know tin institution is what
you make it. You are the college.
Without you the college is nothing.
(H'm, that sort of sounds like the
generalities we indulge in in psych,
doesn't it?J lint if the trouble lies
with you as an individual it can be
remedied. To begin with, are you
working for your college? It's the
tiling we work hardest for that, we
prize most in the end. I don't
mean the work you do in scholarship alone, although we must keep
up the standard there, but something outside and beyond that.
Perhaps Red Cross work interests
you a little. All right, then, don't
let your interest lag. Work! Let
people see what your college can
do. Maybe it's Musical Club, Chemistry Club, or the "News" that attracts you. Help push, then. Make
that activity,, which attracts you
most the better because you are
back of it, helping to push, If you
have no interest in college activities—and that is only another way
of saying you have no interest in
college—cultivate one. Stop everything, if need be, and make yourself be interested. Icier tify yourself with some particular phase of
college life, stick there, and help
push.,
Again, are you in step? Arc you

helping to keep up the rhythm and
harmony of college life, or are you
side-stepping and helping to throw
the whole into confusion? It seems
that if college is to teach us anything it should teach us how to live
harmoniously with ourselves and
with others, for until we learn how
to do that we shall be dissatisfied—

STATE COLLEGE NEWS,
ORAL ENGLISH IN
MILNE HIGH
. O r a l English lit; Milne Itig-lt is
not a bugbear I I ! I I This was
proved last Friday morning when
Miss Baldwin's second year English class entertained Miss M0C011nell's class and Miss Jones at a
Sophomore llanciuct, Miss Lorctta
, Weldon presided as toast-mistress,
The following responded
with
toasts:
Mir. Durretti The Class History,
Miss Mnckmastcr, Class Prophecy.
Miss Medwin, Class Will,
Mr, Elliott, Class Athletics.
Miss Emerick,' iCIass Spirit.
Miss Smith, Class Ambitions,
Mr. Miller then gave an exceedingly appropriate poem entitled
"Jane Jones." M'iss Jones gave a
delightful toast which brought all
members of the class into a closer
bond of friendship with "the critic."
After refreshments were served
Miss Whitten brought the event to
a very pleasing close by singing
two delightful solos, Let us further this interest in Oral English!
Instead of the monotonous humdrum _ assignments let us give interesting ones to bring out each
pupils' individuality and spontaneity.

land advised the use of Azo printing paper, not the Veldx which
works too quickly for practical
purposes. By actual demonstration again,
Professor Kirtland
showed just how printing is done,
and how to bring out cloud effects
in our pictures by using a
"dodger,"
At the end of the hour an enthusiastic audience voted for the next
lecture on "Indoor and Outdoor
Exposures," which will be givea
April 7 in the Chemistry Room at
4:45. Even to those people, who
hitherto have had little interest in
photography these lectures arc absorbingly interesting, so contagious is Professor Kirtland's enthusiasm, and so clear are his explanations.
AN ERROR
The information in last week's
issue that Dorothy Bachellcr had
secured the position at Chevy
Chase
Seminary,
Washington,
D, C, is incorrect. The item was
put in without the knowledge of
the Department. The "News" regrets the error.
FITZ'S FACULTY FIVE
(Continued from page 1)
Juniors last year. Larry McMahon
will take care of the other guard
position. Milne High has two very
clever forwards this year and
faculty guards will have plenty to
do to prevent them from scoring,
Milne's center is the best man on
the team and is a consistent scorer,
but "Red" is in good condition and
should cover him effectively. Metzkcr and Captain Sexton are very
capable guards who will make Fitz
and Baker extend themselves to
the limit.
"Emmet" Dowling, who refereed
the Frosh-Milne game last Friday, will handle this game in the
same efficient manner. Both teams
Will practice hard this week and
expect to be in the best possible
shape when the whistle blows to
start the game.

was so exciting that they did not
have time to ask.
Milne had much the Letter of the
team work, but Miller and Ferguson overcame this by their wonderful shooting. Johnson jumping
center for Milne High and Lobdell
jumping center for the Independents furnished a treat all by themselves. Both were in the game all
the time and each was the backbone of his respective team's offensive and defensive play, Johnson
is new at the game, but is very
promising. Metzker shot fouls in
truly masterful fashion, making
seven out of eight tries, Floody
and -Kirk played well, but lack the
necessary weight and experience,
Sexton, Milne's captain, was a regular stonewall on the defense. Castellano, Bliss, and Baker played
good guarding games. This year's
team is easily the best that has
