Teams To Make Trip
To New York
State College will play a fifteen game

'25, is manager. Coach Baker will have
charge of the training. Practice will
begin immediately following the close of
lie football season, November IS. The
schedule is being completed this week.
It will include games with varsity teams
of New York and New England colleges. In January there will be a three
or four game trip to New York. The
season will continue until about March 1.
Despite the loss of several first string
men through graduation, Captain Gainor
believes prospects arc good. The freshman class is said to contain some experienced material. Many of the old
men are still in college.
Negotiations were under way this
week to secure the use of the Albany
High School gymnasium for home contests, but this is not assured. The. High
School court has been used in previous
years. Last season games were played

CENSOR BOARD EXPLAINS ITS DUTIES
It has been brought to the attention of
the Board of Censors that in two instances last week, a member of the freshman class was aided in the violation of
a college tradition by her junior sister,
Although this is admittedly a rare case,
the Board of Censors takes this opportunity to appeal to the sense of fair play
of the upper classes, in asking that they
themselves respect in every particular the
rules freshmen are required to obey.
It is generally accepted that the great
majority of State's students show proper
obedience to college traditions. Probably
most of the students realize that freshmen cannot be expected to obey traditions
which the upper classmen do not respect,
and they act accordingly. A few heedless acts, unrepresentative of the great
majority's sentiment, however, minimize
this wholesome influence. The Board of
Censors refuses to believe that the average junior sister would actually assure
her sister that it is "all right" for her
to enter college by the front door. It
has provided against a repetition of the
offense by the offending student.
The Board realizes that it stands in the
peculiar position of having as its duty
the censorship of certain acts. It is
charged with properly supervising college tradition enforcement, under Myskania's direction, particularly in reference to underclass rivalry, Some organization such as it is, is needed and exists
in all colleges.
Yet a Board of Censors is most effective when it has to do least. This year
there has been little violation of rules.
The class of 1928 has shown general respect for its Alma Mater's traditions.
The college generally realizes the distinction between sophomore hazing
edicts
and
college tradition.
It
stands for strict obedience of the
latter by every one. Button, cap, and
front door rules arc college traditions.
The others are listed in the freshman
"bible," and are familiar. Violations
must necessarily meet with punishment
to prevent their repetition. The most
effective preventative is the realization
by the offender that he has merited his

ANOTHER •'WHY"
FLORENCE PLATNER, '25
HELEN ELLIOTT, '26
JOYCE PERSONS, '26
MARGARET BENJAMIN, '26
Why did we come to Slate? With all
due respect to the people who have told
us, we think they forgot one important
reason. None of them have said, "We
came to State to help Delta Chi initiate."
What would Delta Chi, of Albany Law
School, ever do without the future
"schoolma'ams" as an audience for initiation stunts? What girl could resist
the charms of a college on whose front
steps, some fine autumn afternoon, a
handsome young Delta Chi man might
offer her anything from a bite of green
lollipop to a proposal of marriage, the
latter followed by an abject apology?
Dramatic presentations at any other college cannot compare with the Friday afternoon entertainments given by those
same Delta Chi initiates, whether we
witnessed them from orchestra seats on
tlie front steps or from balcony seats in
the library windows. Whether or not we
thought about it when we filled out our
application blanks, we will all admit,
after the last two Friday afternoons, that
we are here just to help Delta Chi in
itiatc.

PARTY vs. PRINCIPLE
In these days of political contention
one constantly hears heated arguments
which almost culminate in real quarrels,
Party support is a vital factor in the
political world, but when party support
means inability to appreciate the merits
of other parties it is biased and prejudiced. In these days of enlightmcnt college students, who have had every advantage to become broad-minded individuals,
should be able to appreciate and truly
estimate the value of opponents. Youthful voters commit a serious injustice to
their country in following the traditions
of their fathers, apropos to casting their
votes. In order to really vote intelligently one should study the platforms of
the various parties, and then cast his ballot, keeping in mind the party's past record and the ability of the party's candidates. Excellent opportunity of hearing
the various candidates is being afforded
Albany students. These students should
take advantage of their opportunities, do
plenty of thinking, and less talking, and
vote intelligently.

The H. E. Department is arranging
with the General Electric Company at
Schenectady for broadcasting a program
of twenty-two talks. These will he given
Mondays and Thursdays at two o'clock
from W. G. Y. station beginning November 3 and running through February
12. All talks arc centered around "Profession of Homemaking." A number of
these will be given by members of the
Home Economics staff. Other departments in the college and still others outside of State College are cooperating.
This program will be announced in advance by the General Electric Company.
The first four talks are as follows:
"Homemaking as a Profession."
"Designing Clothes VVith the Homemaker."
"How Much Should a Woman Spend
for Clothes?"
"Attractive Books for Children."
To-morrow's football gamo with
Union freshmen at Schenectady looks
like a contest well worth seeing. Union
freshmen, always strong, are at their
usual strength this year. State College,
sports writers for the newspapers say,
is stronger than ever before and the
team's record this year bears this out.
It is a question whether college support is stronger this year. Certainly
loyal rooters were not lacking two weeks
ago when the team played in Albany,
but last week, probably because of the
Intersorority Tea, only a handful of students were at Troy. Those who did go
saw State play some of the best ball of
its best season. Besides to-morrow's

of them is in New York city. The

Civic Problems
Professor Hidley maintains that History has to do with the vital problems of
the day, and that time for them should be
given in the class room. "Absentee voting," "split ticket," and "blocs" have
been words whose meanings have come
home to citizens in the events of the
last few months.
"Uncle Joe" Cannon, former Speaker
of the House of Representatives, veritable war horse, declares that as long as
the government is run by party rule and
majority, the people arc defeating the
kind of government they believe in, if
they vote "split ticket." The late President Harding declared that if the form
of party rule is changed, America will
be facing the same problem of other
countries; "bloc" rules, class legislation,
government we believe in, if we vote
"split ticket," The late President Harding declared that if we change the form
of party rule, we will be facing the same
problem of other countries; "bloc" rules,
class legislation.
"It is all very well to be independent,
split your ticket, and vote for the best
man. Split, if split you must, but split
national and state, not state within state.
If you vote for a Republican governor
and a Democratic senator, they will never
work together."
According to Senator Wadsworth, four
hundred thousand people in New t'ork
Slate do not vote. Some of the best
qualified men think it is beneath their
dignity to wait in line with the plebeian
mob in order to vote. Majority rule cannot thus be obtained.
What will the coming elections show,
"split ticket" resulting in a deadlock, little "absentee voting," or separation in
parties culminating in a "bloc" system ?
