State College hangs in doubt, State
Senator William T. Byrne, of Albany,
who introduced the bill three weeks
ago, told the State College News this
week that he docs not know whether
,t will be passed. Its chances, he declared, are no better than last year.
" T h e bill will probably fall into the
so-called 'thirty-day class,'" he said.
•• It will he one of those bills which
are acted upon just before the legis'atlire closes its session so that the
governor can pass upon them within
the thirty day limit." "At
present,"
Senator Byrne said, " I do not know
if the bill will he passed. The needs
of the college are appreciated, hut the
question is whether the state can
afford the money this year. The
failure of the bill to pass last year has
been generally attributed to a jam of
business in the last few days in which
it lost out. I believe, however, that
the chief reason it failed of passage.
along with a number of other measures, is because of the question of
ways and means."
" The measure," he said, " will probably not be acted upon by the Senate
Finance and the Assembly Ways ami
Means Committees until just before
the close of the session, prob'ib'y
sometime between March 15 am.
April 1.
" With the approval of those two
committees and the support of Governor Smith," Mr. Byrne said, " passage of the bill by the Assembly and
Senate would be virtually assured."
Editorial support of the bill has
been given in Albany by these papers:
The Evening News, the Knickerbocker Press, and the Times-Union.
The Famous Farrar
To Deliver Talk Here
John Farrar, playwrite, poet, and
editor of '' The Bookman," will give
an informal talk Saturday evening in
the college auditorium upon the subject of the modern play and modern
play production. Mr. Farrar has the
advantage of persona! acquaintance
with the famous and illustrious of the
day, which in itself promises a delightful inside glimpse of the character and
lives of outstanding contemporaries.
Very likely be will touch upon his own
recent experiences in New York play
production. Whatever he presents,
one may feel assured that his talk will
have a wide appeal, whether or not
one is up to date in theatre-going,

the delicious luncheon was over, Mary

"resident Brubacher who spoke on

idded that it was highly essential for
.•very girl to be able to address every
tber girl in her class by her first

'he unsociability at Harvard. Dean
Horner caught the latter up in his

DIPLOMAS A N D EDUCATION
Now that final examinations are
past and a new semester is opening',
such remarks as these arc heard In
college corridors: " I s Professor X
a good marker? Can you get by with
much in his courses? I registered for
this class because [ hear you can pull
a passing grade without the slightest
effort." Of course we take such remarks with a.grain of salt, for they
arc largely hyperbolic, but the fact remains that most of us, who are striving to secure a college education, seem
to be more interested in the hours
easily secured than the general information gained. If securing an education is reduced to a game of chance
where the student risks nothing, and
reaps a piece of paper known as a
diploma, then an education is worthless. Cramming a lot of useless and
desultory knowledge in our craniums,
and then expelling it hurriedly into
examination booklets, is futile effort
and wasted time. Unless we aim to
broaden our intellectual horizons, unless wc take those courses which will
better develop us to meet and solve
the problems of life, our degree is not
worth the letters that compose it.
And so, in making out this semester's
schedule, let us choose those courses
from which wc shall derive the most
benefit, regardless of the work involved.
ANOTHER QUARTERLY SOON
The Quarterly Board is already
busy making plans for the appearand"
of another literary production, Its
members urge that all material for the
next issue be in the bands of some
member of the board by the middle
of February. Attention is likewise
called to the twenty-five dollar prizes
.given in June for the best prose and
the best poetry productions.
POINT SYSTEM EXPLAINED
Due to the fact that.there sccnis to
be misunderstanding as to the counting OJ a D toward graduation, the following explanation is offered:
The number of credit points in the
major or minor must be equal to or
greater, than the number of credit
hours.
The giving of credit points is as
follows:
A—3 points for each hour.
B—2 points for each hour.
C—1 point for each hour.
Thus a student receiving a D in his
major or minor must receive an A or
li in a course giving the same mini-;
her of hours in the same department
to offset the D.
A I.) received in any course other
I ban a major or miliar may be offset
by an A or B in any other course
offering the same number of hours,
provided that at the time of graduation
the number of credit points equals the
number of credit hours.
3ALARY INCREASE POSSIBLE
Increased pay for the faculty of
State College is provided ill a bill in.roduccd last week in the legislature,
by Senator Ernest Cole, Republican,
of Steuben county, amending the education law in regard to compensation
lo teachers in State College and the
normal schools of the state.
The following increases for the
acuity would be provided by the proposed law:
President, $7 000 to $7 500. maximum; dean. $4,500 to $5,000 minimum.
5,000 to $6,000 maximum; director of
training (new provision) $4,000 minimint, $5,500 maximum, $250 annual
increase; dean of women, $2 000 to
J3.U00 minimum, $.3,200 to $4,000 maximum; professor, $.3,000 to $4,000 minimum, $4,500 to $5,000 maximum i
assistant professor, $2 000 lo $.3,000

Girls' Varsity Wins
Against Alumnae
The annual Alumnae-Varsity game
of January 31, offered the first opportunity for State to view the girls' varsity in action. That the game was
closely contested is shown hy the f'ma
score of 18-16 in favor of the varsity.
Despite the fact that close guarding
and brilliant shooting featured the
match, the game was slow, due to the
constant shifting of positions on the
varsity.
The alumnae played a hctler organized game than is usual. Hilda Licbech, '24, crack pivot of last season's
squad, usually succeeded in getting
the tip-off and passing the hall to the
forwards. Helen Walsh, '22, rolled
up all the points for the Alumnae.
. Margaret Hutchins, captain of (he
varsity, shufllcd her players in an attempt to try out possihlc combinations
for the coming combat with Russell
Sage. This constant change in lineup
which kept down the varsity's score,
is shown by the lineup.

Winning the West
Irrigation by electrically driven pumps has made
hundreds of thousands of acres of desert land in the
Intermountain West blossom like the rose.
For a few cents a month per acre, electricity—the giant
worker—brings the life-giving water from distant lakes
and rivers to rainless valleys, producing rich harvests
of fruits and vegetables, cereals and forage.
The General Electric Company provides for agriculture little motors that clothe
farm chores and great ones
that operate mammoth
pumps t o i r r i g a t e vast
stretches of arid valleys.
What electricity is doing for the farmer is only a
counterpart of what it is doing for Industry, Transportation, City and Country life or any of the professions. It is a tool ready for your use and which, wisely
used, will make the impossible of today an accomplished
fact tomorrow.
