With five students on the editorial
and reportorial stall's of the leading
State College contributes no little
newspapers in Albany and Troy,
amount to the day's news and tlio
production of so-called metropolitan
newspapers.
Edward Vines of the senior class
"covers" State College for the Albany
Evening News, and Miss Olga Hampel of the sophomore class is the
Albany Journal's reporter at college.
Coming to those more directly connected with the actual news departments of the papers, one finds Miss
Mary Bull of the junior class the assistant society editor of the Knickerbocker Press, Jerome Walker of the
junior class the assistant editor of
the Sunday Telegram, and Edwin
Van Kloek of the freshman class, the
Waterford correspondent of the Troy
Times.
TO THE FACULTY
You will be interviewed on an average of once a day by some member of the News Board. You will
probably be asked to give the same
information to several reporters and
"cubs." We ask tiiat you patiently
co-operate with us in doing this, for
only in this way can we train the
large number of "tryouts" in accuracy, perseverance and soeed in writing.

CHEER FOR THE TEAM!
STATE PROVES METAL
TASTE OF VICTORY
STIMULATES FIGHTERS
Snge Score* First Touchdown
Bring on the next victim!
Keyed up to a high pitch of enthusiasm as a result of their thorough,
ly convincing victory over the De.
stroyer Brock eleven, State's hardfighting grid warriors anxiously await
the start of the impending struggle
with the Union Cubs this afternoon
at Ridgefbld park.
The Garnet yearlings will enter inu
contest a decided favorite by virtue
of their spotless record so far this
season ovjr formidable teams. It will
bo termed the "Battle of Brains," for
neither of the teams lias the advantage in weight.
Experts may disagree, but last Saturday's long hoped for victory was
the sensation of a day of extraordinarily interesting football in the east
—as far as State college is concerned.
It was the making of the team.
The huskey gobs battered away at
State's almost impregnable line, but
the sense of victory was too strong.
Even uncanny forward passing failed
to net anything more than a slight
gain now and then only to find the
Capitol Hill boys ready to carry the
ball back.
To "Red" Sage, the diminuitive
pilot and backfield flash, goes the
honor of scoring the first touchdown
I'or a State College football team
since the first game of last season.
Running the ends, plunging through
the line and skirting the tackles, Sage
was almost unstoppable in the first
period when he made a sensational
tfash down the field with the ball
snugged tightly in his arms.
The other notable epoch in State's
football history, which has finally
been inscribed with victory, came in
the third quarter, when the sorreltopped Gilchrist dashed through the
opposing line, intercepted a perfectly
directed forward pass, and gallopped
across the goal line i'or another sixpoints.
There is no doubt that State would
have piled up a more formidable appearing si'ore if it had not kept to
the old-fashioned defensive style of
Cornellian football. The men played
a brilliant, almost mechanically perfect game, They moved as though
the master hand of Fritz Wegner,
their crafty coach, were hovering
over each man on the team.
Composed of husky seamen, the
Breck team was no "set up." At
times their loose and faulty playing
was costly to them, but on the whoie
State won a cleancut victory. The

TEA THAT WAS DIFFERENT
It is expected that a tea be a pleasant occasion but .not all of them
meet our hopes in such a truly festive way as did the 1023 Intersoro
rity.
The rotunda hung with banners, its
glints of silver and of yellow chrysanthemums, dissipated any cloud of
homesickness. The atmosphere from
the most dignified presiding faculty
members to the girls in the green
room intent on obscure culinary rites,
was one of genuine good fellowship.
Through tho effective agency of
the ushers, who were designated by
their sorority colors, the guests were
welcomed by the sorority presidents:
Eleanor Gifl'en of Intersorority and
of Gamma Kappa Phi, Emily Bidding
of Delta Omega, Mary Wright of Eta
Phi. Ruth Ellis of Psi Gamma, Marion
Miller of Kappa Delta, Mary Mahr of
Chi Sigma Theta, and Lillian Ershler
of Alpha Epsilon Phi. Then after tea
was served one answered tho music,
and danced and chatted.
D.I. HASTINGS PROMISES A
TREAT TO ALL ENGLISH
STUDENTS
Dr. Hastings has something in store
for us. He is going to give to us
illustrations of good theme writing
and poor theme writing. Knowing
the clever and interesting articles
written by Dr. Hastings that were
published in our "Quarterly", wo are
expecting something quite above tho
ordinary.
STUDENT ASSEMBLY
Assembly opened last Friday with
the singing of our Alma Mater, followed by a short talk by Coacli Wegner.
Following cheers and songs a representative from tho University of the
State of New York gave a talk on
how to vote without going home.
After more singing assembly closed
with the reading of the notices and
cheering.
Tho Quarterly Board wishes
to remind the students that all
articles for the Quarterly must
bo signed with full name and
numerals. Articles must not bo
signed with initials or assumed
names.

THE PENALTY LIST
The penalty list published in last
week's News was one composed of
freshmen who, because of thoughtlessness or misunderstanding of college traditions, violated them. It was
no more than the college expected,
indeed, the list was surprisingly sho t.
Freshmen must learn by their mistakes. Well and good. That is the
way with beginners.
The penalty list published this week
is not entirely composed of freshmen.
There are senior names on the list
as well as sophomore and Junior ones,
What to do?
Are the upperclassmen going to
protest indignantly at thus be'ng hold
up for criticism? Undoubtedly, but
on what basis? That they forgot?
Are the freshmen going to look upon
tradition breaking as a serious offense
to the college? No. How could they
be expected to?
The probable result? The upperclassmen will be indignant and think
themselves unjustly wronged. The.v
will try to protest and explain thenactions. The freshmen, no longer beginners, will show less and less regard
for college law and order. Myskania
will have to spend all of its time for
the remainder of the year in fostering
harmony and respect for the traditions of the college.
If you are satisfied with the probable result, you take delight in seeing
ideals shattered, in seeing disorder
and disrespect the controlling college
spirit. If you are not satisfied, if
you are concerned and eager to have
college traditions, not clasii rutes, but
college traditions respected and
obeyed, there will be no more penalty
lists.
These rules are ours, self-imposed,
for the purpose of adding to our collegiate life things which we feel are
a vital part of every live college. Especially should upperclassmen and
sophomores adhere strictly to all rules
applying to them and by their attitude aid the enforcement of rules
COLLEGE
NEWS,

applying to freshmen; they should
frown upon all attempts at violation,
not wink at them. Why? Because
they made these laws, and the right
to make laws presupposes the willingness to be governed, by those laws.
There is a natural law that makes
us appreciate more fully whatever we
have rendered homage and service to
or given up privileges for. The rules
which apply to the wearers of buttons
and caps, and to the segregation at
games, are only such rules as custom",
at all times has laid upon freshmen.
You will look back upon this "year
of tribulation" with greater delight if
you submit to these rules. Freshmen,
honor the upperclassmen. You are
no longer State's guests; you arc the
younger members of her family. By
honoring the rank of upperclassmen
through the means provided in our
traditions, besides fulfilling a natural
law of courtesy, you are laying up
for yourselves a sto.re of respect. The
more respected you make the rank
of senior, the greater distinction will
be yours when you have reached that
rank. The subtle influence of giving
up privileges and of rendering honor
where it is due, cannot ho defined,
but we all must feel its presence.
It would seem that we should feel
instinctively all the reasons for living
up to our splendid traditions, and that
none should bo t.mpt;;d to break
them except such as can feel no loyalty to anything But the almighty " I , "
Then why do we have tradition-violators in any class, (for they do violate
when they wink at breaking of rules.)
Is it in defiance of Myskania and its
deputy, the Hoard of Censors?
Nothing, is so far from the purpose
and desire of these bodies as to seom
to invite lawlessness. Myskania must
enforce rules with dignity and firmness, for when you select a Myskania,
you entrust to its care the guidance
and protection of college customs and
traditions. It is the last thought of
Myskania to be arbitrary and overexacting, but firm it will aim to be,
provided you will stand behind its
attempts for State. It is not a challenge for traditions-violators; it exists
only to make State's traditions something for State's prestige. It can
fulfill its purpose only with your
earnest co-operation; through your
willingness to live up to rules, and
your unwillingness to let anyone dishonor the rules.
Myskania.

PROFESSOR KIRTLAND JUSTIFIES CURRICULUM
The argument for required courses
in college is that they develop the
thinking powers of the students. Each
professor in his respective department
argues that his course can accomplish this to the best advantage. The
professor of mathematics declares
that mathematics is the one subject
which will make students think; the
coach, that athlet'cs will bring this
about; the scientist, that science is
the one subject which brings' into
play every part of our mental makeup. If we really stop and think, we
must admit that not one subject in
itself can supply the richness of material which is to be gained from numerous courses taken together.
(Continued on page 4)
To have unity and coherence in the
home, Dr. Hastings advises the freshmen to practice harmony. An example given was to have "the salad
harmonize with the wall paper."

"I did not thinkI investigated"
One day in 1895, Roentgen noticed that a
cardboard coated with fluorescent material
glowed while a nearby Pluecker tube was
in action. "What did you think?" an
English scientist asked him. "I did not
think; I investigated," was the reply.
Roentgen covered the tube with black
paper. Still the cardboard glowed. He took
photographs through a pine door and discovered on them a white band corresponding to the lead beading on the door. His
investigation led to the discovery of X-rays.
Roentgen's rays have proved an inestimable boon to humanity. In the hands of
doctor and surgeon they are saving life
and reducing suffering. In the hands of
the scientist they are yielding new knowledge—even of the arrangement and
structure of atoms. The Research Laboratories of the General Electric Company
have contributed greatly to these ends by
developing more powerful and efficacious
X-ray tubes.

This was a question of
j great importance to the Gump family
! in the Gym last Friday.
After a
! lengthy discussion, it was finally de! cided by "Spark Plug," who rode o(f
I with Chester to State College.
During the business meeting it was
decided that points should be g'.ven
for bicycling.
Dorothy Dietz, '25,
was elected cheer leader.
There were interclass basketball
games and also a contest between the

SCOUT CONVENTION
A scout convention is to be held
in Albany High, School' on Friday
evening, November 2, which delegates
from within a radius of one hundred
miles will attend. Everybody who is
interested in scouting and scout work
is invited to come. The adm'ss'on
charged will be ip the form of a gift
of vegetables to be given to the Old

and songs is planned. The convention will close on Saturday with a
sight-seeing trip through Albany, a
visit to the Old Ladies' Home, and a
luncheon at Washington Tea Room at
two o'clock.
College students who
are interested in scouting are especially urged to attend the convention.

CURRICULUM JUSTIFIED
(Continued from paj?o 2)
Professor Kirtlund suys that he balieves that it is a mistake to think
that any one course in part'cular can
supply mental training better than
another. He believes that the amount
of mental training gained from explicit subjects is gained not so much
from the subject itself, as from (he
training which it gives. To say definitely that a child who detests mathematics will of a certa.'nty gather
more from that subject than from
any other is an erroneous supposit'oi,
but the variety of courses offered in
the list of required subjects of most
colleges makes it almost cait.in that
there will be some subjects umong
them which will fill the requirement.
CANTERBURY CLUB
The Canterbury Club of State College held its second meeting of the
year at St. Andrew's Church, Main
Avenue, Thursday evening, October
26. Many students attended, including a good representation of freshmen. The invitation to join Canterbury Club is extended to students of
Albany Medical School, Pharmacy
School, and Law School. Meet'ngs
are to be held at State College every
