ASSEMBLY
Prof. H i d l e y Gives T a l k on
Columbus
An interesting address on the life
of Christopher Columbus was delivered by Professor Hidley at Student
Assembly last Friday morning, T h e
speaker was introduced by the Senior
Class President, George Schiavotte.
[n discussing the life of Columbus,
Professor Hidley said lliat the explorer had a vision which was successful because he spent years in preparing for it. This preparation consisted of forty years before the mast,
and extensive reading of every
geographical and navigation report
he could eel hold of. Columbus' aim
was two-fold: to find a new world
and to explode the theories of the
day about the size and shape of the
earth.
I lis aim was noi to find a
new route In India as many are inclined to believe.
Professor Hidley thinks that the
biography of Columbus should be reconstructed along lines of historical
research because of the many erroneous statements made in regard to
this man. l i e further remarked that
IUW credit ought to be given to the
aim and purpose of this great navigator, for no man has contributed
more to the changing of human history than Columbus,
Before dismissing the students, Mr.
Schiavoue announced that Myskania
would revive a college tradition that
has not been practiced for the past
two years. This tradition of Class
Mornings is lo he begun by the
Senior Class on Friday, November
l-l.
On December 19, assembly
period will be given over lo the
Juniors.
VESPER
SERVICE
Miss L a r m o n Speaks on Service
The second of a series of vesper
services was held in the auditorium
Sunday afternoon, October 12, under
the auspices of the college branch
of Y. W. C. A.
Minn Larmon, '21, was the leader.
The theme of her talk was the "call
to service," which comes when one
is busy about everyday tasks, and
the " j o y of service" which makes
the smallest effort on our part so
worth while.
A short musical programme was
given as follows:
Piano solo
Myfannv Williams,'21
Violin solo
Caslella I lees,'21
The singing was led by Elinor

THE
"NEWS"
" ' T h e Slate College News' is
the weekly newspaper of the College, devoted to the publication of
announcements, the record of College events, and the discussion of
College interests."
This is the function of our paper
as outlined In the constitution
drawn up by Myskania.
We are
" d e v o t e d " to the publication of all
College activities and discussions.
What makes any paper welcome is
the amount of new stuff printed.
The personal element so much criticized in news stories of corporation-owned papers is our
big
" drag." Probably College students
read
the advertisements
when
they're really intending to do any
extensive shopping; probably they
read the front page " f e a t u r e s " if
they have anything to do with the
special department in which they
happen to be interested. We know
the Seniors read everything because they always insist on having
copies to take to Education class.
The " News " Board is announcing in this issue the opening of a
competition for the selection of
future members. We want sonic
good, live samples of what new
people can do. The best way of
j u d g i n g the capacity of news reporters is on the basis of the accuracy of their write-ups and the
originality of style, with, of course,
sufficient conformity to correct
spelling and rules of grammar.
W e should like, especially, to
have a number of men hand in their
names as signifying their intentions
to try out for places. ' Join Press
Club and " go to " I
UPPER-CLASS NEUTRALITY
Rivalry between the two underclasses lias started in earnest.
L o n g pompadours have suddenly
gone out of fashion among the
Freshmen, and the style hitherto
found only in penitentiaries is being adopted. W e understand that
a certain barber, having been confronted by t w o State College students with then" hair conspicuous
for its absence in spots, has written
a lengthy treatise on a new parasite called the " h a i r m o t h , "
A n d '22 seems to be determined
to go still farther in the matter of
reforming Freshmen styles. She
has k i n d l y provided the men w i t h
new caps for winter, and has rcqucsted that these men show their
appreciation by wearing the caps
on their heads when they are out- j
side and in their pockets when they j
arc inside.
So far, so good, j
Sophs!
We are now waiting for
the Frosh to show their mettle.
Bui, while we are waiting for
the next act, we beg permission to
speak a word of advice to uppcrclasstneii, ft certainly is hard after
two years of participation in SophFrosli clashes to suddenly become
an innocent oil-looker,
But it is
our hit now to be the audience and
nut the actors. Of course we can
applaud and encourage, and a hint
now and I hen from the Seniors and
Juniors to their respective sister
classes may do wonders in sliniu- |
lating activity.
There is another way in which j
ttppcrclassmcn may influence their j
younger
fellow-students without !
interfering on one side or the !
other.
In fact it is necessary to
observe a strict neutrality in order '
to make this possible. Owing to !
certain
unfortunate
happenings,
such as the recent drowning at
(-olgatc, hazing has fallen into j
•.•real disrepute, and a campaign is
being organized for stopping it. '
\ i w, there is no red blooded Col- I
lege student who would like to see :
I lie end of this long-established j
custom. Yet, when carried to ex- I
iremes, it becomes a public nui- |
sauce and a menace. If we make
it an mi writ leu law that we will
hold sacred all plans entrusted to
ur confidence and all plans that
we just happen to discover, the
underclassmen will feel safe in
coming to us for approval. Thus
wc will be enabled to advise against
rashness and make those unhappy
occurrences which cause the unpopularity of hazing improbable at
Slate College.
— '21.
GIVE US A CHANCE
Of late much has been said concerning the " newslessncss" of the
" N'ews." For the sake of argument
we will grant thai the criticism is
deserved, and, having made this concession, attempt to see wherein the
trouble lies.
Reporters have their regular assignments to cover each week, such
as going to the various departments,
social organizations, etc., for news.
If these departments and organizations have news, and not realizing it
as such withhold it, the reporter can
turn in nothing. Take exception to
this as you will, for it is but one reporter's point of view.
The latest " d o p e " lias il that there
are to be two new college publications— one being gotten out by the
Fine Arts Department, the other by
the Chemistry Department. Just as
a matter of information I should
like to ask: " Why are these publications being started?" Will they, too,
prove " ncwsless? "
The " N'ews " is your paper, and as
such, demands your support, 11" you
have news, don'l withhold it. Give
the reporter his chance.

YORK
NEW
Past week's " Xews " published an
account of a Stale college — Smut
fustituie, Menominee. Wisconsin —
as reported by Professor Douglass.
This
institution
is
supported
solely by the Slate of Wisconsin.
Though having a comparatively small
registration, it is equipped with a
swimming pool, a modern stage, a
large auditorium with an up-to-date
moving picture machine,
We look toward the State of Wisconsin with profound respect.
A
State which thinks as much as that
of its college is entitled to our admiration, Of course, we think New
York State is pretty line and all that,
but it does seem to be negligent once
in a while. It seems lo forget our
existence and our importance, now
and then.
.Vow York
State College
for
Teachers should express, as a Xcw
York Slate institution, the best the
State is capable of along educational
lines. The State prides iisclf on ils
network of canals, ils facilities for
railway communication, ils prisons
and asylums, and its State administrative buildings. Should it not take
an equal interest in its college? Why
then, are the appropriation's of the
State for that college so meager?
Why are bills in interest of that college vetoed again and again 5 Is il
lack of interest, or is il merely a case
of a general " lax-a-daziness " or, ihe
purl of Ihe administration? We need
dorms. We want a swimming pool.
We want modern and adequate equipment, Cannot Xew York Stale do
for its eolle.ee what Wisconsin and
other western Slates tin for theirs?
We wish some one would answer US.

" In again, out again, gone again,

wings; quite the contrary, Last week
we Frosh made our first" and successful rush, bin you stopped it. Just like
a spoiled little boy, who is going to
" t e l l ma,"—you immediately threaten ecl to " t o i l .Myskania." Does il
take the combined forces of the Sophs
and Myskania to manage us? If so.
we certainly nuisl be some Peace
Class! When we lirst came to college, wc were led to believe thai the
Sophomores were lirst cousins of the
Bolsheviks — we have since changed
our minds. Why, pacifists are bloodthirsty ruffians beside you!
You
don't even possess a soap box orator
with pop enough to tell us "who's
who."
We are looking for excitement. When does ihe show begin?
—A Freshman.
CREDIT A N D PRACTICE
TEACHING
To Ihe Editor «/ the "Sews: "
To my way of thinking the demands
made upon the time of the practice
teachers in this institution are absolutely unreasonable. Granted thai
the purpose of this college is lo train
teachers, granted that such training
to be effective must lie rigorous and
exacting — l e i us consider the facts.
The general practice here is In give
one credit hour for vv^vy hour of
actual class work in college time in
any given course. In nariicular eases
credit is also given for courses on
the basis of comparatively more extensive outside preparation. For example, upper classmen correcting
papers nrc given college credit — even
when no time is spent in actual class
work. In a course such as Fnglish
1-1 (llienie reading), three hours
credit is given for two hours class
work. But ibis is justifiable. The
time spent in work outside of class in
such a course is proportionally
greater than that spent on other
courses.
A student teacher leaching live
hours a week is expected lo give one
hour a week to Ihe general teachers'
meeting. Attendance at such a meet-
ing is not optional, lie is also expected lo spend one hour in the
teachers' meeting of life particular
department in which he teaches. In
addition to this conferences with his
critic, not counting the hours spent
waiting to sec that critic, will take
two hours at a conservative estimate.
Conferences with the high school
Students themselves arc both necessary and valuable. They are expected. Add an all lo short two
hours a week for individual conferences with an average class of I.S
students, Ignore conferences to arrange for physical education. Forget the hours spent in preparation for
leaching. Overlook the hours, when
one, if he is so foolish, polices the
study hall and you have eleven hours
of actual college time spent for thai
delightful course, Fd. i j . ( I wonder
if Professor Saylcs was surprised at
the response when he called for
volunteers lo lake the study hall?)
Tlie average Senior has, let us say,
fourteen hours exclusive of his leaching,
Add your minimum of eleven
hours of actual college lime spent as
indicated. Twenty-live hours of college work for the average Senior
outside of preparation is, well
what do you think il is? We all are
familiar with one l_\ pe of the leaching profession- -skeleton-faced, nervous, hollow-eyed, plain crabby.
\re
ihe "powers that be" giving 11- a
start in that direction?
If the standard of leaching in
Milne High School is kept as high
as it is (we are the lasi lo want il
lower), could not some system of
credit lie devised by which ihe practice teachers could work at teaching
— that is all the) do anyway—without so much other college work?
Do ihe faculty consider ibis a failproposition? I wonder.
— Senior Victim.
To the Editor of Ihe " A ' r t w : "
Will you please publish in your
columns accurate information as lo
Ihe destiny of the twenty-ninth of
February?

To Ihe Editor of Ihe "Xews: "

a word to what has nlreadv been said
in this connect ion. Wc may assume,
to begin witti, that all who' attended
STATE COLLEGE NEWS, OCTOBER 16, 1919
the affair or two that wo have had
this fall, enjoyed themselves; if they
didn't the fault was all their own,
Those of the elass of '20, and possibly
'21, can, u o doubt, recall the good
times they had at the " r e c e p t i o n s "
given by the different classes to the
Freshmen, to which all members of
the student body were welcome,
Durilig the course of the war, that
procedure was modified in accordance
with the principle of " s a v e and
serve," bill now it semis that we
have been rather slow in getting bach
lo precedents and in realizing the
value of the social side of college life,
especially to the Freshmen. Without
overtaxing your memory, you can
recall how lonesome you felt as a
freshman,
how you wished you
knew some of the faces that passed
you by in I he halls, and how you
envied litc Sophs because they " k n e w
the ropes." The Junior Sister movement, though it has done much to
make the Freshmen feel at home,
cannol furnish thai pari of the social
life thai the Freshmen might get ai
the Friday nighl affairs. And bow
about the Freshmen men, who have
no J u n i o r " brothers " In make lliem
leel at home?
I low are We lo impress upon them
that there is a brighl side lo ihc life
of a Freshman, in spite of trig, or
history quizzes?
A simple Friday uighl affair with
a program and dancing might be a
good solution.
Ii would be something ii<v all lo look forward to at
the week end, and you surely know
bow pleasurable anticipation makes
one's work light. Tin: affair could
commence at fci o'clock, and if 1
might suggest it, the presence of
Charles at the lighting switchboard
in die " gvm " migiil be dispensed
with until II o'clock at least. I dare:;a\ \;at will dl tgrcc >.\ tlh me en tin.:
point, if von do uol agree on anything
else I have said.
I f yon are interested in having a
good time once a week, add your
voice and suggestions to what has already been said.
To use a slang
phrase, " s t a r t something." One cannol do it all alone, nor can a mere
handful. So, " do your bit " and the
Friday night affairs at Stale College
will be sure of success.
