CIVIL WAR
As the Junior editors of the
"News" arc working their heads
off on this issue of the paper, the
seniors are sitting peacefully by
watching and bossing—occasionally, By way of cheering them up
and giving them a little added inspiration the senior editors would
like to say that they appreciate the
co-operation and interest that the
juniors have shown
in the publication of the "News'1 so far, and that
they wish them luck in issuing the
Junior number, The seniors feci
that the paper will undoubtedly be
very good this week, hut they
know that it "couldn't" come up to
the usual standard of the previous
weeks. Here's to the juniors! !
Junior Note—The above comment can be better understood
when it is known that the Senior
fioard contributed the material.
Senior Note—Not the editorials!
Anybody would know that!—'23.
JOLLY JUNIORS
As the coming week end is devoted to junior exploits, it might
be well to attempt a definition of
the term "Jolly Juniors." We do
not, of course, vouch for the accuracy of our definition. It is not
done in exam week.
A junior is a benevolent sort of
person who has experienced the
tips and downs of college life, and
is now on the high-road to success.
So he thinks, at least. lie has
weathered freshman math; he has
enjoyed psych to the full—of
course, he docs not admit he used
to laugh in the wrong places; he is
now sleeping peacefully in Ed 1,
and dreaming blissfully of his
brilliant future among the Milne
high seraphs,
Our juniors are jolly. They have
to be to succeed. There are profs
to jolly; freshmen to jolly; and,
last, but not least, themselves to
jolly along. Jolly carries with it
the idea of good fellowship, good
sportsmanship, and a merry outlook upon life. Once we juniors
have caught this spirit—and most of
us have, we hope—we are going to
keep it forever.
In this second week of exams,
when we have taken care of the
profs by writing exams it would
take a genius to understand, and
have gotten us a man for our prom
by masterly statesmanship and
true perseverance, might we not
turn our attention to our freshmen.
Many of them live too far away to
go home, and are facing this interval of waiting with nothing to do
but plan methods of breaking the
news to the family.
Remember
how it was? Let's S'hovy the freshmen again we are jolly right
through.—-'23.
STUDENT FORUM
The practice of having student
forums in Assembly has been
started at State College this year.
The purpose of the forum is^ to
train students in public speaking.
After they leave college, students
will often be called upon to make
speeches on different questions.
The .work of the English department is valuable in this respect but
does not develop the same ability
as the actual experience obtained
in a free discussion of this kind.
The questions which will be
talked upon will be either of local
interest, such as the Honor System, to be discussed next time, or
Current Events, such as the Disarmament Conference, the subject
of the last forum.
It is hoped that a trtie expression
of student opinion will be developed in the consideration of college problems. Informal speeches
of this kind, if carried out as expected, ought to give a clearer and
more complete idea about what the
student body really wants than the
present system of deciding college
questions.
Everyone must take
part in making the forum a success
or this aim will not he realized.
The discussion of public questions should stimulate an interest
in national and international affairs, ll is often said that there
are few students outside the history department who have any
understanding of these problems.
Here is an opportunity for us all
to broaden our knowledge of world
affairs. To get the greatest benefit
from this work some time must be
spent on the study of the topics,
but the subjects are given out some
time in advance and material on
them is placed in the library.
At the first forum, on the Disarmament C o n f e r e n c e ,
two
speakers were elected to speak live
minutes each, and there were several speeches from the floor. It
was felt that this method did not
give opportunity for enough people
to talk. At the next forum, which
will be on February 17, the entire
time will be given over to open and
informal discussion.
Information
upon the subject of the Honor
System can be obtained at the College Library and the State Library.
There are some students who
have attended colleges and universities where the Honor System is
followed. Their first hand information should he of more weight
than that acquired from reading.
The public speaking and current
events classes take up the different
subjects of the student forum and
have classwork on them.
The
whole student body should come
to assembly prepared to talk and
the student forum will become a
strong factor in State College life.
'23
INTELLECTUALITY
The true test of our intellectuality is, after all, our ability to express ourselves, either through the
medium of speech or that of written material. This was an idea
heard in class recently. After con-
A FABLE—BY AESOP, JR.
Once upon a time in the land of
long ago, there was a 1maiden whom
the gods had favored with beauty
to please the race of man. And
this maiden was so admired that
she became vain and wis'hed to be
still more beautiful.
One year there was to be a great
festival for the young men and
maidens in the sacred grove. And
each young man wa's to choose his
mate from the beautiful maidens in
the grove; and it was to be a sign
when the flutes began to play, that
each man was to choose his mate
for the dance.
Now this beautiful maiden prepared for the dance for a long, long
time. She took rose petals and
put them in a stone jar; and once
at change of moon, she ground the
petals between the palms of her
hands, In the Spring she gathered the blood-root flower and preserved its blood, And slie put in a
stone jar the juice of the blackberry. And when the festival time
came, she arrayed herself in her
most beautiful gown; and she took
the powder of the rose petals and
rubbed it on her face so that it
would be soft and scented, Then
she took the juice of the berry and
stained her brows and lashes that
sidering the thought it seemed altogether very true and at least to
us, a little startling. We think that
it may strike you the same way if
you give it your honest thought,
We doubt not that all college students think themselves possessed
of some degree of intellectuality.
Uut if they apply the above test to
their own eases, how often will
they be able to say that their oral
ability or that of writing is clearly
manifest to others?
You may
think you have such ability but if
you don't try out yourself, you
can't be certain.
Our college offers excellent opportunities lor testing and proving
your intellectuality. Our new student forum gives us all an opportunity of testing our intellectuality
through the medium of speech.
How many will offer their proof at
our next forum, February 17? Of
course you all have intellectuality!
How absurd to imagine otherwise!
There is a chance too, for you
who cannot really express yourself
orally. We have a college magazine, The Quarterly; and newspaper, The News. Surely here arc
two excellent opportunities for
showing up to your own satisfaction, at least, what stuff there is in
you. You protest that anything
you could express in writing "would
not he worth printing—maybe
not—and yet there is no way like
doing to find out what we can do!
GIVE THEM A CHANCE
Much
criticism
is
directed
against those men who, quietly or
unquie'tly, slip out of assembly
every time there is a "sing." This
is very poor college spirit and
would not impress a stranger
favorably. For these men these
few words are not meant as an
apology, but rather are written to
show why such a thing is done.
Then perhaps the condition can be
remedied.
The college songs that are sung
in chapel are, in most cases, pitched
so high that very few male voices
can get up to them without a stepladder. The number of first tenors
in college is so small that it can be
counted on the fingers of one hand.
For other men than these the high
notes are impossible. The out-
they might be dark; and she
stained her lips and cheeks with
the blood of the flower.
And she went forth to the festival and stood in a high place where
all men might sec her beauty. And
the other maidens in lowly places
were silent as the flutes began to
play; but the beautiful maiden
stretched out her arms, and leaned
toward the young men, singing;
"Choose me for the dance; choose
me for a mate. I am beautiful;
choose inc." One by one the
lovely maidens were chosen by
their males, and beauty alone was
left on her pedestal. All alone she
was through the dance, and then
the young men and maidens
wandered together through the
sacred grove. Whereat the beautiful maiden lifted high her head, but
the red stain was faded in one spot
by a tear.
Then the gods smiled, and calling her to Olympus, gave her her
reward of life: "Let her always ha
beautiful; let her be always higher
than the other immortals; and let
her always sing, 'Choose me;' and
let young men forever be in her
sight—but with their backs always
toward her." And the scribe writing opposite her name in the book
of men, found a new word and
wrote, beginning;
"She
that
vampeth
"
come of this is that for a while the
men arc content to stand and listen
and then seek an opportunity to go
to more congenial regions.
Can't you girls realize thai the
three score or more of basses and
tenors who inhabit the seats near
the left side of the auditorium
would like to help? There is no
dottbt that they would show the
same spirit in singing as they do
in other activity. Hut they want
a fair chance. Why not let them
harmonize alone even if it may
smack of the "tonsorial parlor
style," This will allow them lo
hear the sound of their own voices.
Once interest is aroused in the
"sing" the true spirit will revive.
Then the men will soon get their
own parts in the Alma Mater and
no longer have to strangle, on notes
that were written for Galli-Curci
and the like.
Why not give this a trial at some
future sing and see if it will work.
If it be successful we will have a
unified student body without any
slackers.
'23
INTERPRETATION OF
"THE SHADOW"
The play asks the question,
"What Is Love?" Each of the
characters has his interpretation,
for each represents an extreme,
particular attitude toward life, applying this philosophy to the problem, love.
Oisille exemplifies a gossamer
idealism without foundation in experience. Elisor embodies wholesome, matter-of-fact,
exuberant
youth. Into the lives of both come
other characters, who voice other
attitudes, Harlequin makes light
of Elisor's sincerity. Love to him
is a plaything, which he may
throw away when tired of it. The
embittered wisdom of age baffles
Oisille, in the person of an old
woman in the woods, who smiles
so strangely. Helen lias been disillusioned cruelly by the glitter of
hypocritical society and the insincerity of suitors. She has met
with misfortune in life's great adventure and tells Oisille that love
la "something to be left alone."
The Emperor adds his humorously
tragic viewpoint. He personifies,
to me, change, decay, the mortality
STATE COLLEGE NEWS, JANUARY 30, 1922
of all things, His is a faded glory,
a
lost
kingdom.
Mis
whole
thought was of material things;
land, castles, m o n e y , soldiers. I lis
life's ambition left no place for the
depths of love; he thought of it as
merely an a t t r a c t i o n between the
sexes,
T h e S h a d o w is a representation!
for d r a m a t i c purposes of disillusionment,
W h e n Oisille looks at
hi ni she sees the old w o m a n ;
Elisor, Harlequin.
T o the E m peror the S h a d o w is the remembrance of past glory. T o Harlequin he brings thc^ bitterness of
reality, m o c k i n g his atteinpt at
quelling conscience, Helen speaks
of the S h a d o w as the one who has
been ever present to reveal the
shallowness of her life, the one
who has shattered her dreams,
Are any of these solutions? liecause the instinctive, boastful assurance of y o u t h and brooding,
imaginative idealism of youth lino
it impossible to regain equilibrium
after facing jocularity, cynicism,
disappointment, is this proof thai
all love is without basic reality or
the glory of a d r e a m ?
T h e play, as I have said, only
asks these questions,
The solution lies ill the lives of two souls
who are not afraid of facts, nor
unresponsive
lo the magic of
moonlight.

streii'gtliened by the a n n o u n c e m e n t
made by Director Ricketts that four
new buildings are soon to be
erected on Fifteenth Street and
Avenue B.
It is planned, as shown by the
architect's drawing, to erect three
dormitories adjoining
the
Hunt
dorms. These are to be called the
Cooper,
Macdonald
and
Buck
dorms
in
honor
of
Theodore
Cooper of the class of '58, Charles
Macdonald of '57 and L. L. Buck
of '68 respectively. Mr. Macdonald
is at present a trustee of the institute. T h e y are all to have west
entrances.
T h e largest building which will
occupy the plot on the corner of
Fifteenth Street and Avenue B will

Roebling
dorm,
pamed for W a s h i n g t o n A, Roebling of the class of '57; the man of

feet west of the adjoining building
in o r d e r to have a south entrance.
While
excavations arc
being

considered advisable to blast off 12
feet of rock on the adjoining plots,
for buildings that arc to follow.
T h i s will prevent d a n g e r to the

road extension will also be made to

The
Cooper, Macdonald

six suites of three r o o m s , each to
a c c o m m o d a t e two students.

In all
54 students will be a c c o m m o d a t e d ,
m a k i n g a total of nearly 200 stud e n t s to be housed on the campus.
At this time, construction awaits
the arrival of bids, expected at the
end of this month. A w a r d s will be
made if they do not exceed the
a m o u n t set aside for this use by the
trustees. If started, it is expected
that the buildings will be ready for
occupancy in the Spring of 192,3.
