Stale lost lo the speedy Colgate

at any lime in great danger of losing the game State displayed good
form, ami it: was only because of
the greater weight and experience
of the Maroon and White contingent that they were enabled lo pile
up the score.
Colrell at center for Colgate
played a brand of basketball
seldom seen in collegiate circles.

WHY BE A " J O L L Y
JUNIOR"?
"A set o' dull, conceited hashes
Confuse their brains in college
classes I
They gang in stirks and conic out
asses,
Plain truth to speak;
An' syne they .think to climb
Parnassus
By dint o' Greek! "
We might have been forced to
agree with Bobbie Burns in his
"Lines to John Lapraik " and
designate colleges as fool factories if it were not for one thing —
Bobbie forgot that the "jolly
junior" is also a part of college,
lie is the antidote for dullness, and
the one big means of preventing
our halls of learning from becoming as Bums described them.
Last week was junior week in
State College. Who within these
four walls does not know it? Who
did not participate in the enjoyment of that week actually, or in
looking back with pleasant memories or thrilling in anticipation of
his own junior week? If there be
anyone, it is to him that we especially dedicate this message.
The "jolly junior" should have
his beginnings in the freshmen
parties; he should bud in the
sophomore soirees; he should
blossom forth in great splendor in
the junior reception and prom;
and he should ripen into fruit in
the senior ball. Tie does not then
belong to any one class, but to all
of them. We call him "junior"
because he is most evident during
the third year in college, but he
stands for all our social life.
There arc those who tell us that
it is sinful extravagance to have
parties, soirees and proms. They
detract from our study. In short,
it is a lot of "tommyrot." Those
people are the ones who would
have us " gang in stirks and come
out asses." Our college vocabulary furnishes us with names for
these neople, such as " grinds,"
"book-worms." Thev are a most
unpopular bunch, and their education fails because they are out of
touch with humanity in general.
It were better, we sometimes think,
to go to the other exreme and accept Bobbie Burns' doctrine as he
expresses it in " Willie Brewed a '
reck O' Maut," when lie says:
i
" I t is the moon, i ken Her horn,
That's blink in in the lift sue hie;
She shines sae bright to wile us
haine,
Mul, by my sooth, she'll wait a
wee I"
'21.
SET T H E PACE, '21
The second term has begun and
we're back again to scheduled time.
The record of accomplishments for
the first semester are more or less
satisfactory.
'Twenty-one
has
lived ( tip to her reputation for
" pep," and so far has more than
held her own with the junior
classes of previous years. " Well
begun " counts, and with our beginning there is no reason why this
semester should not be marked by
a superior showing on the part of
'21.
We are in good training as a
result of our "warming u p " last
term and we should be ready to
take the lead. We have only this
half year left in which to round j
out our record as a junior class in '
State College. Are we going lo j
rest on the laurels we have already I
gained or are we going after more? I
Are we going lo look back or are
we going to keep a keen look out
ahead?
We have the necessary
qualifications for leadership and
it's up lo us lo use our ability.
I
Let's be up and doing, twenty
one!

THAT BELL
The juniors are managing this
issue of the " N e w s " by themselves. A brief article being requested from the editor, here goes!
It wouldn't seem at all natural,
in writing for the " News," to do
anything but wish success to 1921,
especially members of the hoard,
in the thjngs we've attempted.
Through these columns we tried to
"razz " the frosli —did they mind?
Ask them! We appealed for workers in every field of college activities, we tried lo help everyone learn
our Alma Mater, we threatened to
strike for the non-appearance of
five credits for practice teaching.
These little issues have been more
and less successful. The " News "
has in (urn been converted into an
"organ," a limited adviser concerning^ traffic, appearance of articles, obituaries, etc. Now we'd like
to wish you luck in getting the
janitor's bell off the outside of your
future sanctuary.
We've hired
wire-cutters, al tempted I he deed
ourselves, but to no avail. The
only way left seems to be bribery
of the povvcrs-thal-bc. There ccrtaiplv must be a limit to the standoffishness of those pocket linings.
We wish you luck, Congrats, and
anticipated pity 'n your endeavors
to secure a partial quiet in the little
room under the stairs.
'20.
WE HATE TO BRAG,
BUT — !
Far be it from the " N e w s " to
flatter itself, but it does think that
in the matter of reporting, or at
least
proof-reading, it can show
the "Knickerbocker-Press" a few
things. The " N e w s " at least is
consistent in its use of names,
which is more than can be said of
the " Press." Many people scattered throughout the State were
My Dear Dr. Brubacher:
Being, a graduate of State. College (,'US) you may be interested to
know that 1 am one of the lilteeii
j\ew York City teachers sent overseas to visit the battlefields, and
(hereby you are represented.
it is a privilege .1 so appreciate,
for every bit of the ground is really
sacred to our own country as Well
as to our Allies.
it would indeed be hard to describe my feelings while viewing
miles and miles ol shell-torn fields
with muddy, water-filled trenches
and masses of barbed wire, tanks,
and debris, knowing that it was
here that many of our own boys
gave their lives for the Brotherhood of Man. And then to come
to row after row of white crosses
with the Stars and Stripes floating
above I hem, makes a sad picture
that years can never dim. I can
realize now why the boys have
nothing to say about it—the horror
of it could never be put into words.
We were indeed proud when we
saw the German stronghold in the
Argoune that our boys captured
and held. It was the headquarters
of Prince kuprccht and we since
refer to it as "Dugouts de Lux,"
for they were all plastered, some
painted and others papered, had
floors, fireplaces and even a marble
bulb room!
We went down
through the passage from the entrance to one of the several exits
each carrying a lighted candle.
We also went all through Fort
Vaux and saw Hie galleries wher-..
such tierce lighting took place.
The 60-foot gallery of the llindcnbtirg Line near Lens was also
interesting. There were carvings
on the clay walls done by the
"Tommies" while resting there
after lighting about Arras, Lens
and Vimy Ridge. The prison or
" Clink" was wired with double
barbed wire and interested us, but
I guess we felt different in it than
any Tommy.
Another thing we saw was the
Bayonet Trench at Verdun. Two
companies of French soldiers were
ready to go over the top when a
German barrage came over and the
whole trench was buried.
The
bayonets protrude from the ground
marking their order in the trench.
A monument has been erected to
them and the bodies beneath are to
remain where they are. The slope
of the hill where this trench is
located faces the Hill of Death.
The ravine at the foot of the bill
is the " Ravine of Death."
The
losses at Verdun, wc know, were
tremendous ami there are many
bodies still imburied.
Wc saw
many British soldiers bringing remains to be buried in cemeteries.
Besides Rhcims, Soissons, Fismes,
Chateau _ Thierry, Arras, Lens,
Vimy Ridge and many others we
saw Yprcs, Dixmude and Nieuport.
At Zcebrugge we saw how the
German submarine base was cutoff by (he British in the Yscr
Canal — a clever piece of work!
Also saw the Vindictive at the pier
in Ostendc.
Our last trip was to the Deutschlancl. We went all through her
from deck to magazine and T never
could picture so much machinery in
so small a space.
We looked
through the periscope set at various distances and were surprised at
the clearness and detail of vision.
Tf such a wonderful thing could
have been planned for the purpose
of good instead of the vicious workit did!
T might write on for many hours
and not tell you half of the interesting things T saw and experiences T
had, but think I better call this
' Letter T " and stop.
Sincerely yours,
LOUISE G. METZLER.
surprised Saturday morning to read
that Ihey had attended the annual
prom given by the "Student'
Pcaehcrs."
We object to the glib use the
" C r e s s " makes of phrases. We
respectfully submit to the " Press"
that we are not yet teachers, although we. acknowledge we. are
foolish enough lo expect to be
upon graduation, and we desire to
inform the above mentioned daily
that the name of this institution is
" New York State College for
Teachers," and that the only abbreviation of that title admissible
is " Stale College " or " State." We
are not the "Teachers Factory"—
the " Ladies Seminary for Teachers," or even the "Student Teachers School" —we are "State College" with the rah-rahs tacked on
if need be for good measure; We
are quite insistent on this little
matter, Mr. Knickerbocker, and
hope you will humor this whim of
ours in your future write-ups.
A SOPHOMORE SOIREE
The biggest event of the junior
year has just passed.
For two
years and a half the. class of 1921
has been planning for this weekend, and the class is lo be congratulated upon the results. While
these memories of good times are
still with us, ii seems as though the
lime is propitious to bring up llie
question of a sophomore soiree.
It will be remembered that 1922
was not allowed to have a party on
account of war conditions. The
freshmen were "bricks,' for ihey
gave up their one big time without
a murmur. They consoled themselves with the fact that this year
they would make up for ii at the
soiree.
According to the latest reports,
the sophomores are not going to
have Ibis big function for the simple reason lhat outside men arc
taboo. What fun is a soiree where
there are to be only a handful of
men to about a hundred girls? It
would mean that most of the girls
would be obliged to dance .together,
and that is not fair. Girls in State
College have all the opportunities
they waul — and don't want — to
dance with girls, and only a few of
I hem have had the opportunity to
go to tippcrclass functions with
"outside men," hence the reason
for vetoing the soiree.
Wc are at a loss to understand
why outside guests are not allowed
to attend one of the College functions. The soiree is not a class
party but a tradition. Does this
curtailment of men guests mean
that at some future day we are
to Jiave " manlcss" proms and
senior balls? We appreciate the
fact that class parties be kept
strictly to the members of the.
class, but our sympathy goes out
to the class of 1922, who have had
no party at all. They have not
had one opportunity to show what
they can dn in the way of a big
social affair, and as the victory
class of State College they deserve
at least a chance this year.

NOTICE CONCERNING
ATTENDANCE RULES
The attention of all students is
called to the revised statement of
the Attendance Rules appearing
below.
Confusion
has arisen
recently through the failure of
some students to familiarize themselves with the rules and through
the failure of others to interpret
them correctly.
Beginning with the second semester no explanation will he called
for and no excuses will he granted
for the first absence in a one hour
course, the first two absences in a
two hour course, and the first three
absences in a three or a four hour
course.
Students will not forget, how-
ever, that any absence on the opening or closing' day of a semester or
upon the clay instruction ends or
is assumed al a recess or vacation
period will count the full number
ol permissible absences in a given
course. They will not forget also
that satisfactory explanation must
be presented and excuse secured
for any absence after the first in a
one hour course, after the second
in a two hour course, and after tiie
third in a three or four hour
course.
Students who are in any doubt
about the interpretation of these
rules should confer with the Dean
or the Dean of Women. Lack of
knowledge of the rules may not be
offered as the basis of an excuse
for absence.
Harlan II. Horner.

Three distinctly different one-act
plays were presented by the Dramatics Class January lb in the Albany High School auditorium, The
nrst was an English comedy which
had to do with the events in the
kitchen during the serving of dinner, from the soup to the savory.
Emily Sccurinan did good work
both in reading lines and in acting.
Her general air of dejection, her
walk, and her hesitant speech bespoke the typical
work-worn
slavey. Her interpretation of the
letter which she claimed had been
sent to her by an admirer, was
packed with deep feeling subject to
a commendable reserve. Mae De
Rouville, as the gossiping maid,
brought a more lively note to the
play. " Cook's " laugh was contagious but her refinement scarcely
went with her station. While each
character was well portrayed, more
spirit, more contrast in voice and
in pace, more joint action would
have reached a higher standard of
art.
"The Rushlight" demands by
far the greatest amount of dramatic
ability. Both the parts of the
mother and Kathleen retjuneu .i
line •balance in order that tiie tragedy might not lapse into memdrama. Mylanwy Williams piayeu
the old mother as few people oi uer
age could have done, lsever tor
a minute did she step out oi ncircle.
Her voice and bearing
showed lull sympathy with tile
part. Marie Barry made a charming Kathleen. Her pleasing voice,
appearance, and a certain Celtic lire
which she put into the part held
her audience.
The. most entertaining of tiie
plays was "The Woimer Hat.'
Xhe setting was unusually artistic,
A goiden moon beamed-down upon
the lairy-likc fountain ol a park.
.Harlequin and Pierrot were amusing characters and made the best
ol their humorous lines. Myfanwy
Williams again displayed her talent
as Punchinello, changing lo tins entirely different part with apparent
ease, Columbine was attractive but
her movements were too many at
times. Miss Ballagh did good work
considering that she had been ill
up to the time of the play. Her
maid, Margot, a stolid, practical individual, scored a decided success
and lost none of the laughs. The
curtain hardly found us ready to
glance into the world of reality.
The lines of the play were Cleveland the mood more easily interpreted than that of cither of the other
plays.

Monday in the auditorium at 5
