MISS MANNER GIVES
LAST READING
The members of the senior class
of State College were invited to
attend the last reading in the scries
given by Miss Jane Manner, Saturday evening at 8:30. The program was made up of three oneact plays, Leon Kobrin's "The
Secret of Life," Percival Wilde's
"The Finger of God," and F.
Frankfort Moore's " Kitty Give."
The three plays arc in entirely different moods, the first being a symbolic representation of the strife
between head and heart; the second
a tense, episodic portrayal of a
man's self-mastery, and the third
a delightful farcical comedy.
STUDENT ASSEMBLY
Juniors to Entertain Tomorrow
Father Slattery was the speaker
in student assembly, Friday morning and his subject was " Dante's
Inferno." It was pointed out that
this poem is an attempted answer
to the question of all men, "Am I
immortal or not?" The speaker
gave an explanation of Dante's conception of Hell and he spoke of its
origin, size, location and circles of
punishment. Father Slattery then
described Dante's trip through the

STATE LOSES TO CLARKSON AND UNION
Wins Fourth Series
The seniors won the championship of the interclass basketball
league, Monday, by defeating the
juniors with a score of 18 to 16.
The game was hard fought all
the way through and the issue was
if doubt until the final whistle.
The juniors outscored the seniors
from the floor, but the latter were
better in foul-shooting.
Bucci started '21 off with three
successive baskets before '20 took
a hand in the scoring. Castcllano
broke the ice for the winners from
the penalty line. He made all the
points for the Yellow and White
in this period, making two field
baskets and counting thrice on
fouls.
Sherlock came through
with a field basket for the Red and
White before the half closed, making the score 8 to 7 in favor of the
juniors.
In the second half the seniors
took the lead and went several
points ahead of the juniors. Castellano scored from the floor and
made live free throws, while Hofmann and Ferguson each made a
basket.
But in the last five
minutes '21 started to come back.
Bliss and Bucci led in this last
offensive and the losers were goiner strong, with a good chance of
evening up, when the whistle
sounded for time. The final score
was 18 to 16.

Plays to be Given Jan. 16
The try-outs for the different
parts in the three one-act plays to
be presented by the Dramatics
Class January 16 have been very
closebr contested,
This speaks
well for the class, for the type of
plays that are given under the direction of Miss Futtcrer are of the
very highest, and it has been a hard
task to decide who will be the ones
for the parts. The cast for " The
Rush Light," an Irish tragedy, is
Myfanwy Williams, '21, Marie
Harry, '20, understudy Margaret
Markham, '20, and John McClucr,
'21. The cast for " Between the
Soup and the Savory," a kitchen
comedy in high life, is Miss Rose
Hughes, understudy Mary Grahn,
'21, Emily Sceurman, '20, and the
maid, Mae DeRouvillc, '20, and
Florence Smith, '20. The third
play, " T h e Wonder H a t " is a
charming comedy of the PierrotColumbine type. The cast chosen
is Myfanwy Williams, '21, Alida
Ballagh, '21, Elsie Hanbury, '20,
Elizabeth Archibald, '20, and Mary
Grahn, '21.

Christmas carols were sung accompanied by Gertrude Southard on

The Varsity went down to defeat
by a score of 24 to 16 in a hard
played contest with the Clarkson
Tech quintet Friday night in the
Albany High gymnasium.
In the lirst half Clarkson displaying excellent passwork outscored State by eight points. The
home team worked hard in breaking up the visitors' passes and
showed some good floor work
themselves, but they had hard luck
in shooting. Two shots from under
the basket and several fouls which
should have counted were missed.
The visitors on the other hand
were sure point-getters.
The Tech live started the scoring
when Lee found the basket after
receiving a long pass from Pclow.
Wilson dropped in two more baskets and Pelow made two points
on fouls before State broke the ice,
Masson started for the Purple and
Gold, caging the ball from the
floor and following it up with a
foul point. Johnson also came
through with a neat basket, but
Wilson came back again for the
winners and Pclow countud^thrice
from tlie penalty line, The hall
ended here with the score 13 to 5
in favor of Clarkson.

MEMBER OF ASSOCIATED
PRESS TALKS TO PRESS
CLUB
Russcl Hathaway, manager of
the Associated Press in Albany,
gave an interesting talk before the
members of the Press Club last
Monday. His topic was " What the
Associated Press Is;" explaining
the methods and uses of the Press.
Mr, Hathaway traced the development of news getting from the day
when the news was brought from
the incoming ships-to the coffee
houses to the extensive system of
the present times. The first American news getter was Topliffe, who
formed the plan of meeting the
ships in the harbor, thus obtaining
the news before the people at the
coffee houses.
Later
carrier
pigeons were used to transport
messages from Albany to New
York. The invention of the telegraph greatly facilitated the transfer of news. To avoid the individual expense of telegraph rates
six New York publishers formed
an association, from which developed the present Associated
Press.
The Associated Press now has
a membership of 1,228 publishers,
through whom the news of every
section of the country is covered.
Mr, Hathaway gave several clever
illustrations proving how perfectly
free from bias and accurate in news
getting the Associated Press is.

UNDERCLASSMEN,
ATTENTION!
The following editorial is copied
verbatim from the December 2
issue of the " Hamilton Life." We
are glad to discover such a sentiment prevailing in another institution than our own. While it may
hot he completely applicable to us
its general trend of thought is an
expression we feel to be local.
" Whether or not college customs
shall live on depends to a great extent on the attitude of the two
lower classes toward them. Perhaps this cry or pica is too often
repeated, but nevertheless it is always applicable it seems, this fall.
Freshmen, you are not remembering that Hello. Don't forget
you are to be the first to speak and
the louder, the better.
Sophomores, do not make the attitude of
' Mightier than God,' so prevalent
in every sophomore class, unbearable. Your duty in college is constructive and not destructive. Your
work is the furtherance of upperclassman authority, which you arc
next year to exercise. A policy
which is exactly contrary to college
customs cannot hope to live.
College life is not going to the
dogs, no matter how prevalent the
rumor among us may be. ft is
stronger and healthier this year
than ever before. Today is a time
for optimism and boosting, not of
eternal crabbing. Underclassmen,
your duty is a definite thing, ft is
un to you to live up to your tasks.
With our increasing number, the
Hello and underclassmen spirit is
of greater importance in keeping
the democratic nature of college
life of which wc have so often
boasted than ever in the past."

Dear Egg.— I guess I shan't say
nothing more about you and the
Dean for you two can't agree.
Only, Egg, don't get put out of
college before the Banquet less you
introduce me to somebody else.
Don't forget! Ain't it so, Egg?
Always when you're bright they
try to tell you you ain't. I was
telling somebody how I got a blue
ribbon diploma from grammar
school (that ought to last me my
life) and then this person says,
" Yon ain't got nothing to brag of
in that." What do you think of
that?
Well,- I'm kinda glad that girl
did as I told her. I wrote her and
says, "Don't bother with that
boiled Egg. He's awful hard."
V I mentioned that even if you
hadn't asked me yet, T'd made up
my mind to marry you. You'll
come to your senses soon.
Now, here it is Sunday night and
all the excitement of the Soiree is
over. T feel just like anybody
after a nightmare. J had a swell
time; I got a headache, and sore
feet and my hair nets won't last
half as long as usual this week. I
made some money, too, Friday
night, T was matching pennies with
that
Dean
fellow — not
your
Dean — B, E., T mean.
And what do you think? This is
terrible, Egg. Some fresh fellow
by the name of " J u d " says to me,
" I saw you walking down the gvm
with a walking cane, T thot, and
BARGAIN
Basketball season tickets, 1919-20.
Special price, $1.50. Seven more
home games. No war tax.
I was wondering if you had a sore
i foot, but when you got nearer to
me I saw you was with ' Jeff' Bombard." Ain't that awful? it's an
1
ole joke but ain't that mean of him
i to make fun of him that way? I
think "Jeff's" awful sweet' and
dainty.
You know, Egg, I 'don't know
why our coach says we was going
to win, we didn't! Youknow that
George Brucker? Well, he hadn't
ought to have anybody else on a
team when he plays. He's an
awful hog. He keeps doing Annette Kellerman dives and putting
the ball thru the basket all the time.
He don't play fair, either. He
never gives the ball to S. C. men.
Not once did he! I was a swell
sport, tho, wasn't I, Egg. I cheered
for him and then he never asked
me to dance.
Don't you think I've got swell
college spirit? Every girl that
wants a man for the Junior Prom
down here went to the game. But
most of the fellows were kinda
slow about asking 'cm to dance.
They mustn't be bashful. If you
pass by the faces of S. C. T. girls
and look at their souls, they're a
fine lot of girls.
You was asking me what to give
your sister for X'mas. I'd suggest
a box of candy; 1 love candy.
Well, I guess that's all now,
Yours for a while,
Rose.

charge of (he arrangements was;
Mary Stripling, chairman, Amy
Clublcy, Twybil Purdy, Mary
Whish, Charlotte Lynch, Pauline
Moore.
CHEMISTRY CLUB
There will be no meeting of
Chemistry Club this week, clue to
the fact" that Friday is the last day
before vacation.
At the last meeting of Chemistry
Club, Nelson Force, '20, spoke on
Einstein's theory, showing that the
theory of attraction of light by
large heavenly bodies was trite, and
that it could be clearly illustrated
in the eclipse of the sun. lie explained that.il could be applied to
the fourth dimension which brings
in I he question of time.
SPANISH CLUB
The Spanish Club was delightfully entertained, on Monday, Dec.
8, by Miss Martinez's account of
Christmas in Porto Rico. Instead
of a jolly old Saint Nick, with his
tinkling sleigh bells and swift reindeer, the little Porto Rican children
look forward to the coming of the
Three Wise Men, who travel, however, on horses instead of the traditional camels. The time-honored
American custom of hanging up
stockings is unknown. Instead, the
children put bowls of water for the
weary horses of the Wise Men and
three bundles of grass and corn,
fii the morning they find that the
travelers have arrived while they
slept and have left gifts and sweetmeats in exchange.
All this occurs, v not on the 25th
of December, but on the 6th of
January. Dec. 25 js not ignored,
however, for festivities commence
the night of the 24th with a royal
feast followed by attendance at the
Midnight Mass, and conclude with
the exchange of gifts on the 6th
of January,
As our last meeting (on Dec. 15),
was our last before Christmas, we
tried to keep in harmony with the
spirit of the season by singing
Christmas songs in Spanish.

settled afterwards.
VI. I favor a compromise on the
reservations of such a character as
will avoid the danger of defeating
ratification while still making clear
that America can only be involved
in war by a declaration of Congress, that domestic questions and
the Monroe Doctrine are entirely
outside of the jurisdiction of the
League, that plural votes of any
member are all disqualified in the
event of a dispute wherein we arc
disqualified from voting, and that
on deciding to withdraw we are to
be the judge of whether our obligations have been met,
Following is the list of students
who will discuss the various propositions:
1. Van Nostrand, '20; Woodruff,

V. McMahon, '20; Schiavonc, '20

ELASTICITY
One gleaming star of heaven,
From its place in the murky depths,
Shone ruddily on the scene.
The telephone kept ringing,
The door swung noiselessly,
The books began to jazz
To the tune of limburger cheese.
The night was wild and woolly,
And the lights had all gone out,
The pickles stood in the jar,
The cat was wound and set,
The beds were yet unmade,
The curtains were not drawn,
The walls shrieked loudly anew,
And the dance waxed lustily.
"Oh, for a day in summer,"
Shrieked the mirror in the hall.
"Alas, alack, poor Yorick,"
Moaned the gas-jet at this ball.
All will soon be over, ah!
Never you fear, old tackhead.
Was this all an hallucination?
Yea ho, but not in vain,
For the little toads of the avenue
Came creeping out at the rain.
A Senior flopped him over;
He snored a brand new tune,
And shadowy glimmers and glimmery wisps
Filled the erstwhile tidy room.
