Frosh Beat Juniors
First Inter-Class Game—28 to 23
The Freshman-Junior game, '.he
first iiiterclass basketball game of
ilie season, went lo the Freshmen
by a score of 28 to 2,1. Il was one
ill' the best games ever played on
the Slate College courl. The issue
iv.is in doubl right up to the last
millutc of play, and the Juniors
were still lighting hard to overcome the S-poinl Icul nf the fresh
men when the final whistle blew.
llaihcirn starleil the scoring for
the Juniors from the foul line, 'flic
freshmen soon Weill into the lead,
however, and remained in llie front
until llie end nf tilt- half, when the
score stood 16 to 15 in their favor.
'fbe Juniors started mil strong
again in llie second half, but llie
freshmen came through with live
field goals to the Juniors' three,
pulling them in the lead at the end
of i In- half.
The playing nf Johnson and
Stewart, llie forwards for the
freshmen, was the main feature of
the game. Johnson found the basket
six times and Stewart five limes,
Stewart's shooting was spectacular,
i 'I hrcu of his baskets wen- made
| front the middle of the lloor, They
are a speedy pair and, probabjy,
will be candidates fur llie Varsity
I in the places of Harry and fitzI gerald, the star forwards on last
.'year's team,
I The Juniors, although they lost
!
llie contest, played a line brand of
| basketball, They were in lb.: game
from start in finish, Casscvan: and
I latlioni did all the scoring, They
each made four field baskets and
I lalboru pin in six free throw s, li
was due to the greater accuracy in
.•diddling on the pari of the fresh
men ami not to lack of team work
i.i.il the Juniors lost,
The game was on the whole
clean and fast. There were quite a
irw finds, due to the fact that this
is the first game and the men have
not gotten over the bad habits acquired in practice scrimmages, I'm
the contest was not won by foul
shooting. It was field baskets that
counted.

Mrs. Florence Kelly, General
Secretary of the National Consumers' League, spoke to the student body Friday morning in interest of the drive for membership
being conducted by the local chapter, of which Marjorie Edgarlon,
'20, is President.
She sketched
briefly the origin of the organization, its purpose, and what it aims
to accomplish.
Airs. Kelly stated that there were
400,000 boys and girls between the
ages of fourteen and sixteen working in the Stale of Xew York
whose education had gone no
further than the eighth grade, and
that there were, in 1918, 51,000
children 'below the age of sixteen
given working papers. ft was lo
stir llie intelligence of people to
such facts, and many others equally
startling, that the Consumers'
League was founded. Their appeal is to the fortunate student
who lives off the product of I he
labor of less fortunate young people w'ithbirt knowing something of
that product. -Consumers' League
would make people realize working
conditions — make them realize for
instance that coat pressors are
poisoned by small but continuous
doses of corbon dioxid, aiul that
poison by chlorine gas is frequent
with those who work in cotton
mills. Mrs, Kelly said it was the

SENIORS
T h i s article is entitled " Seniors,"
but it is meant to appeal to all
S t a l e College s t u d e n t s .
In last week's issue of the
" N e w s , " and also in ibis number,
are
articles
concerning
credit
e a r n e d by practice t e a c h e r s .
The
g e n e r a l conclusion of Seniors now
t e a c h i n g seems to be t h a t at least
o n e credit should be given for each
h o u r of actual class work, as in all
oilier courses.
T h e " Xews " is the medium for
the expression of s t u d e n t opinion
and we wish more S e n i o r s would
give us their ideas in regard to this
m a t t e r for publication.
11 is only
t h r o u g h concerted action t h a t res u l t s are obtained, and it is for the
p r e s e n t practice t e a c h e r s that these
results should provide,
It is for
the benefit of us all to a t t e m p t to
secure m o r e pay for " our jobs,"
T h e l a b o r i n g world at large these
clays seems to be w a k i n g tip to the
value of it's p r o d u c t s ,
VVe are
l a b o r e r s — physical, mental, and
m o r a l — a n d we want m o r e pay!
A COMMENT
W e heard it in the halls last Frid a y m o r n i n g after a s s e m b l y ; the
spirit of the girls of 1923, perfectly
free a n d unbounded, implicitly expressive of the new liberty of
w o m e n in our schools and colleges,
t h i s spirit plus that of the new
girls of last year c o m p a r e d with
t h e former docility of S t a t e College
co-eds.
fn 1918 was 'begun a scries of
a f t e r n o o n lectures on conduct —
t h o u g h t and a c t i o n — w h i c h were
p u r p o s e d at enlivening the minds
of F r e s h m e n to the a c t u a l i t y of the
g a p b e t w e e n high school enthusia s m and college p r o p r i e t y .
VVe
w i t n e s s the results. O h , 1940!
DO YOU WANT A COLLEGE ORCHESTRA?
C o n s i d e r what it will mean to
y o u , as a s t u d e n t of S t a t e College.
T h i n k how it will add to the inip r e s s i v e n e s s of the chapel exercises on M o v i n g - U p D a y . Surely
iio o n e will object to a good live
o r c h e s t r a for- the c a m p u s dances.
A f t e r a little time t h e r e will be no
n e c e s s i t y of having an outside
o r c h e s t r a for c o n c e r t s , informal
dances and plays.
You who love
good music will a p p r e c i a t e having
a n u m b e r of i n s t r u m e n t s to play
for the dancing after State defeats
Colgate.
What is to keep us from having
one?
Certainly it is not talent.
But ah •orchestra d o c s lake money,
and here is y o u r chance to help.
The J u n i o r Class has arranged a
concert to raise funds for a College, o r c h e s t r a . On the evening of
November
17 the Fisk Jubilee
Singers will give a concert of well
known folk-songs a t Chancellor's

T o the Editor of ithe " X e w s : "
In last week's issue of the
" News " was published an article
entitled
"Credit
and
Practice
Teaching."
It so aptly expressed
my conclusions that a repetition of
its statistics does not seem necessary. Any Senior who is leaching
now is rapidly b e c o m i n g one of
those " h e c t i c s h a d o w s " who have
heretofore disgraced our profession. ^ And can you wonder at it?
Practice leaching is some j o b ! As
the victim of last week's article
staled, at least eleven hours a week
are put in on that one course,
Education 1.1. VVe always thought
we earned the credits given for
oilier College courses, especially in
the Science D e p a r t m e n t , win re so
much lime has to be pul in, but if
one's time counts for a n y t h i n g this
required course of the Senior year
should receive at least one hour's
credit for each hour spent in actual
teaching.
Even five h o u r s credit
Would ibe little enough in consideration of the work done.
Let's howl, Seniors, a l t o g e t h e r !
That one credit (or m o r e l thai we
earn and deserve, and which many
of us may require for graduation,
may not he so hard to gel if we go
after it together, and all at once.

HOUSE
T h i n g s have s t a r t e d off with a

One big event occurred ibis

an o v e r w h e l m i n g success.
The
way in which the m e m b e r s turned
out, aibout eighty-live being prescut, s p e a k s well for the spirit of
the society.
T h a i the Freshmen,

1923
We f r e s h m e n hope thai Mys
kania and o t h e r upperclassmeii will
not think ill of us for refusing to
wear the caps and pins which the
Sophs so graciously presented to
us.
We waul to a s s u r e you thai
we are not lacking a bit, when it
comes lo school spirit; the reason
for our rebellion should be laid
more to the fact thai we are full
of " p e p . "
We weie not aware of
the fact thai the w e a r i n g of caps
and pins was a rule of the College,
and not of the S o p h s only.
Our
i n t e n t i o n s were lo " g e t one over
on the S o p h s , " and we certainly remain u n c h a n g e d in those intentions. W e ' r e g o i n g to keep up our
" g i n g e r and p e p " and show State
College that she should indeed be
proud of '2,3.
SOPHS HAZE FROSH
In last week's " N e w s " '2.3 informed the S o p h s (hat they were
not " p e a c e f u l little c h e r u b s wdth
s p r o u t i n g wings," despite the fact
that they were the " Peace Class."
'file cartoon on the bulletin board,
a gift of '22, clearly showed that
the S o p h s were well a w a r e of that
fact.
In that same editorial, the
F r e s h m e n tell '22 that "pacifists
are b l o o d t h i r s t y ruffians
beside
you," and following Ibis, boldly
send an ultimatum to the Sophs,
defying every rule in the Prosh
bible.
Hi consequence, the girls
a t t e m p t e d to e n t e r chapel Friday
m o r n i n g with wide bows on their
hair.
Much to their surprise, they
found that '22 slood g u a r d at every
e n t r a n c e , and before '23 reached
their chapel seats they found themselves m i n u s ribbons, bands, barrets, combs, and hairpins,
'22
showed them that just 'as soon as
they were ready to break the rules
she was right there to enforce
them.
T h e r e followed cheers for
the S o p h s and cheers for t h e Frosh.
T h i s little incident afforded much
fun for the Seniors and J u n i o r s .
^ T h e n after defying every rule the
Frosh lost courage when Myskania
entered, and stood up with 'the rest
of t h e College.
L a t e r when the
rules for F r e s h m e n were explained
by M y s k a n i a to consist of two
p a r t s , (hose lo be enforced by
S o p h m o r e s and the o t h e r s College
traditions, '2.3 ^showed its pep by
u n a n i m o u s l y rising with the rest
of the s t u d e n t b o d y in voicing its
a p p r o v a l of the distinction.
SPANISH CLUB
Spanish Club held its second
m e e t i n g on W e d n e s d a y , O c t o b e r
22.
After (he regular business
(which included the adoption of the
new c o n s t i t u t i o n ) , the time was
taken up by flic playing of Spanish
r e c o r d s on the Victrola, and a song,
" Sol)re las 01(13," which was s u n g
by Miss Florence Slltbbs, while
two of the m e m b e r s , in Spanish
c o s t u m e , danced in lime to the accompaniment.
A " brand n e w " feature of the
m e e t i n g was a series of c h a r a d e s
which had been p r e p a r e d for the
occasion.
At lirsl glance these appeared (o be (he m o s t h e t e r o g e n c
oils collection of letters,
figures,
and pictures I hat could ever be devised, but, g r a d u a l l y , after much
c h e w i n g of pencils and r a c k i n g of
brains, light began to dawn on the
puzzled c o m p a n y , and out "i* this
q u e e r - l o o k i n g collection there began to evolve old, familiar Spanish
w o r d s , which really made sense
w h e n you read t h e m c o r r e c t l y !
We are p l a n n i n g to do s o m e t h i n g
of this sort on a bigger scale later
on, by m a k i n g use of tableaux in
r e p r e s e n t i n g Spanish proverbs.
Oh, we're g o i n g lo do " lots of
t h i n g s " this year, and we want
e v e r y o n e w h o is interested lo come
lo our m e e t i n g s !
O u r next mooting will probably

O t h e r institutions not having R,
O. T. C. units were appealed to by
S e c r e t a r y B a k e r w h o said:
"I
c a n n o t too s t r o n g l y urge upon the
a u t h o r i t i e s of o u r universities and
colleges and upon o u r American
s t u d e n t s the g r e a t educational and
physical value to our y o u n g men
of the t r a i n i n g thus offered.
ft
will give to t h e m an o p p o r t u n i t y
to r e n d e r valuable ami patriotic
service and to o u r nation a large
b o d y of educated men able and
ready to take responsible positions
if the need of national defense
should arise.
It will g r e a t l y aid in
p u t t i n g A m e r i c a in a position to
p r e s e r v e peace by r e n d e r i n g evident our p o w e r to resist a g g r e s sion.''
S e c r e t a r y B a k e r paid tribute to
" t h e g l o r i o u s p a r t played by the
colleges of this c o u n t r y in the
recent struggle."
He said that " i t
is to the collegiate institutions of
the nation that wc must always
turn to sim'ily t h e material from
which the c o m m i s s i o n e d
officer
personnel for o u r immense citizen
a r m i e s m u s t be developed.
.More
than fifty t h o u s a n d of our A r m y
and N a v y officers in this war were
d r a w n from one h u n d r e d and fifty
institutions of learning.
And at
the early t r a i n i n g c a m p s for officers there was evident one very
s t r i k i n g fact,— t h a t the y o u n g men
w h o had come from schools and
colleges w h e r e military training
had previously prevailed were the
men w h o m o s t quickly and readily
b e c a m e available for active and
efficient service.
With the h o u r
of battle only a few weeks distant,
the value of the t r a i n i n g they had
a l r e a d y received while at college
was of i m m e n s e i m p o r t a n c e . M o d ern w a r f a r e d e m a n d s of its officer.-.,
leaders a complex and scientific
professional skill and a careful and
t h o r o u g h g r o u n d i n g in the fundam e n t a l principles upon which to
build.
A s our a r m i e s will in all
p r o b a b i l i t y a l w a y s be t h o s e of citiz e n r y d r a w n to t h e colors when
the e m e r g e n c y arises, it follows
that the bulk of o u r officers m u s t
be also citizens w h o leave their
civil p u r s u i t s and take up their
a r m s a l r e a d y trained in the habit
of discipline and the principles of
l e a d e r s h i p . T h i s t r a i n i n g and experience it is believed can best be
secured t h r o u g h the military ins t r u c t i o n which can be imparted in
the s c h o o l s and colleges."
S e c r e t a r y Baker declared that
" it h a s not been in the past, nor is
it n o w , the idea or intention of the
G o v e r n m e n t in r e - i n s t i t u t i n g a syst e m of military t r a i n i n g for stud e n t s to develop a militaristic spirit
in o u r people. T h e r e is a wide gulf
b e t w e e n m i l i t a r y proficiency
as
typified b y t h e A m e r i c a n citizen
trained to a r m s and confident of
his proficiency and t h a t militaristic
spirit which the P r u s s i a n system
developed d u r i n g the p a s t forty
y e a r s . I t is our idea to develop in
the nation a c i t i z e n r y trained and
capable of efficiently b e a r i n g a r m s
for t h e national defense. T o train
and to lead this citizen a r m y wc
m u s t d r a w upon our
educated
y o u n g m e n for those who are
capable of d e v e l o p i n g as officers.
Ft is one of the axioms of military
science t h a t intelligent leadership
on the p a r t of officer personnel
m e a n s the c o n s e r v a t i o n and saving
of life of t h e t r o o p s . "
" T h e t r a i n i n g of officers dem a n d s first of all time,— the time
essential to the formation of a
habit of discipline which cannot be
said to be native in A m e r i c a n
youth.
Discipline has been called
the habit of quickness and p r e cision in t h o u g h t and action, combined with a r e g a r d for a u t h o r i t y
which e n a b l e s one to play his part
in the w o r k of a team.
It lies at
the b o t t o m of all successful team
work."
" A m e r i c a n education in the past
has been inclined to overlook the
necessity
of
emphasizing
that
phase of its manifold
activities
which deals with the subject o r
p r e p a r a t i o n for national defense.
A college education which lias left
u n t o u c h e d (he lilting of its subject
for active service under his country's flag is, and m u s t be, incomplete. In the R, f). T. C. the college finds this vital addition to its
curriculum and the student who
pursues the t r a i n i n g which it offers
finds the o p p o r t u n i t y for physical
and m e n t a l d e v e l o p m e n t
which
c o m p l e t e s bis equipment fur the
battles of life."
