social activities, $21.06 for books and
stationery and $69.15 for miscellaneous
expenses, making a total of $630.32.
Student accounts and budgets show
an .inflinile variation in ways of spend

months nf College last spring, a co-ed
has recorded an expense of tell cents

In general, women pay more for their

items. This may be due to the more
-.implicated costuming, characteristic of

Whether " uian pays more for living
expenses because he requires belter con

because be manages less efficiently, is a
matter for conjecture and further investigation.

"NO NOTHIN'"
A Friday night minus "activities!" A week-end with
no basketball game, no s w i m m i n g meet, no athletic
tournament, no gym frolic; no stunts, no pageant, no
vaudeville, no musical comedy; n o concert, no lecture,
no speaking contest; no carnival, no fete, no festival;
no supper, dinner, luncheon, b a n q u e t ; no tea, get-together, reception, vespers; no dance, prom, soiree, hop,
hilll; no debate; no cake sale, book sale, candy sale;
no campaigns, no drives, no picnic; not even plays; not
even club meetings!
And there is no pestilence a b r o a d in the land, driving
humanity to the safety of solitude. There is no invading horde of barbarians m a k i n g social life a nightmare.
Not even mid-years a r e quite near enough to cause a
sudden panic and a week's lapse in t h e whirl.
But despair not. College has been " o p e n " only four
days, and the busy "activities" p r o m o t e r s have not yet
had time to get things running uncomfortably. A week
from today will tell a different story.
Possibly on
another Friday between now a n d J u n e there will be a
calm like tonight's—but if so probably it will he the
Friday during Faster recess.
O quiet, cloistered college halls where eager youth
sits in hallowed silence and thinks or listens to hoary
wisdom pour forth its treasures! O great font of learning and fountain of education whence flow t h e waters
of culture. Where is thy boasted hum of workers?
W h e n departed the presidents, the vice-presidents, the
chairmen and the leaders? W h e n died the committees

Fear not, they are not dead; they a r e only sleeping.

DEBATING TO THE FORE
By Hortlia Hajan, President, .Student Association
Debating at State, heretofore, has been a mere formalitv.
With Myskania's organization of a Debating council with
Dr. Brubacher and Dr. Thompson as faculty members,
efforts will be made to make it a fruitful, well-orgaimed,
and interesting activity.
Membership on the varsity teams will be decided by the
Debating council and will be based entirely on debating
merits of argument and presentation. We hope to make
the activity as democratic as possible by opening try-outs
to all students, including the freshmen.
The immediate cause of our interest in inter-collegiate
debating was an invitation from the Union College Debating Council asking us to debate with them next semester.
The faculty seems to be as enthusiastic in our new venture
as we.
Other causes for the awakened interest are the monotonous regularity and indifference shown by the student body
toward inter-class debates held in assembly. They have
been hurried affairs, crammed into one assembly hour; the
audience was one which was there because it was threatened
by an absentee notice, not because it was interested in the
subject. The only evident element of life oozed from the
realization that the debate counted toward inter-class rivalry
honors.
The program of the .Senior-Junior debate this semester,
the Sophomore-Freshman debate early next semester, and
a third debate between the two winning teams for final
honors, we hope, will arouse a new spirit within our college. A special evening will probably be set aside for the
other debates with the expectation that the audience will be
a selected one interested in tlie subject. '
Outside the inter-class teams, the varsity teams ,vill he
selected and a program of intercollegiate debates arranged,

SAYS " H O T HOUSE PANSIES" NEED AIR
EDITOR, TIIK
NEWS
Charity begins at home, so they say. Then why not
health? How very strange it is that the faculty committee
on student health, while warning the freshmen to eat orailges
or stewed prunes for breakfast, should overlook a serious
menace to health right in the College.
This menace is the lack of ventilation in the class rooms.
Steps should be taken at once to remedy the situation.
Granted that the ventilation system is faulty. Granted
that each room contains twice as many people as should he
there. Yet, I think, a method may be adopted by which
each person may get a bit more air.
I suggest that in each class one person be appointed to
open one or more windows as soon as the dismissal bell
rings. This will change the air while.the classes are passing. Then the hot house pansies can close the windows just
as soon as they enter.
Last year we had a campaign to clean up College; As a
result, we now have the campus commission. Let us air out
the C'rdlege, and we may get a ventilation commissioner in
this group. Certainly proper ventilation is of more value
to the students than tlie correct hanging of posters, picking
up waste paper, et cetera.

"GENTLE READERS"
(The Bowdoln orient, BmWInln College)
Once upon a time there was a college editor. He
had an office on the campus where he gave assignments,
edited copy, and received complaints,
As at most institutions there was a collection of armchair philosophers. Sometimes they would come around
to his " r e n d e z v o u s " waving their arms and foaming at
the mouth, O t h e r s would send their friends around to
tell him they were hot under the collar; sometimes because an article didn't get in, and other times because
one did.
All the organizations on the college yard thought
the school paper was a publicity handbill. They sent
him editorials and sermons about themselves to put' on
the front page and expected him to kill good news
stories to make room for their publicity stunts. T h e y
would write reams of rot in pen a n d ink and then swear
if there were any mistakes in spelling, etc. Still others
would bring in a wastebasketful of grammatical errors
and distorted facts ami then make the air blue when
their literature appeared in black and while.
T h e editor w a s deformed.
H e had a conscience.
Some of these clay saints, supermen, and embryonic
geniuses were getting his "goat."
H e began pricing
pistols and measuring the depth of the river.
O n e d a y he w a s reading over some philosophies of
A b r a h a m Lincoln. T h e lines: "You can fool all of the
people some of the time, some of the people all of the
time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the
time," suggested a parallel.
"You can please all of the people some of the time,
and some of the people all of t h e time, but you can't
satisfy all of the people all of the time."
After this, the editor barricaded the windows of his
office h a d a steel bolt put in the door, bought himself
a sawed-off shotgun and lived happily ever after.

"Contrary to the expectations of most State college students, R. P, I. defeated the Purple and Cold in the first,
game of the season, which was played Friday evening, December 8th, in Troy. The score of the contest was 45:21."
"The managers of the hockey team have thus far scheduled one game; that is with R. P . I. and dated for December
19th. Judging by the present outlook the game w 1 have
to be postponed until after the Christmas holiday: unless
colder weather puts the rink into condition.'''
"The chapel period on Friday morning will be taken up
with the third of the series of lectures on life insurance."
"The Junior Prom, committee is working on its plans
for that function, and committees on the banquet and reception have been appointed by Miss Moore.'*
"Thursday noon the soph girls' basketball'team defedfecl
the 'Id team to the time of 7:6. At the end of the first

"The fact is, that civilization requires
slaves.
The Greeks were quite
right there. Unless there
are slaves to do the ugly,
horrible,
uninteresting
work, culture and contemplation become almost
impossible.
Human
slavery is wrong, insecure, and
demoralizing.
On mechanical
slavery,
on the slavery of the
machine, the future of
the world depends."
—Oscar

SLAVES
In a quarter-century the General Electric
Company has produced electric motors having
a total of more than 350,000,000 man-power.
Electric light, heat, and transportation have also
contributed their part to the freeing of men. These
are America's slaves. Through their service
American workers do more, earn more, and
produce quality goods at lower cost than anywhere else in the world.
The college-trained man is the first to grasp
these facts which raise man from a mere source
of physical power to be a director of power,
thus realizing the true economic value of the
human mind.
