STATE COLLEGE IS POWDERING HER NOSE
THE JUNIOR PROM MEN! THRILLS! ,
Minerva will get another thrill of a life time this weekcud seeing so many men around. State College will have
to brush tip and powder her nose in honor of the hig event,
Girls I a man! Isn't he good looking! Yes, dear soul,
he is good looking, and so are all the rest of them,

P A I D , N O W LET US D A N C E
DOWN WITH QUEEN CARE
A period of great stress and strain over, we emerge,
weak, but apparently triumphant. Whether or not our
metal proved strong enough id resist the acid test of examinations, we do not know, at least we try not to think of It.
And so we dance, laugh, make merry, all in a mad effort
to forget, cover up our real emotions, and to show the
stent faced world we don't care. Isn't this typical of the
life of today? Strain, physical, mental, moral, and then
jazz, head-splitting, life-giving jazz—something, anything
to divert, to relieve, and to cover tip, Must we have tip's
camouflage, this nutlet of our excess nervous energy which
has been accumulating drop by drop through those tense
weeks preceding and during exams? Is this life? Are
we but children, receiving from the capable hands of
Mother Nature a lesson winch we will use again and again
in our lives? Or, are we merely carefree, fun-loving creatures, out for a good time, endeavoring to claim our own
from the just, impartial hand of fate, who, seeing our past
energies and attempts, wishes to compensate us for what
ill reality was our duty? But why compensate? Must the
scales always balance, gram for gram, ounce for ounce,
pound for pound?
"If you dance, you must pay," said our grandsircs,
" W e paid, now let us dance," we reiterate with foolish
sincerity.
Come one, come all to the burial of Queen Care—Big

deceived. This wilcy witch will allow herself to be submerged only for a short time—she will lie low, icady at
the crucial time to strike. Beware, lest in your frenzy to
make up for your recent trials, you but double your weakness and make yourself a fit prey for the torments and
teasings of this treacherous Queen!
TEACHERS' CIGARETTES
(From Boston Transcript)
"Applications for positions as teachers in the schools of
Lynn will not be considered if it is known that the candidates smoke cigarettes. This, at least, is the way in which
matters stand at present, following a vote of the school
committee. At an earlier meeting the committee declined
to adopt a recommendation of Mayor Bauer that teachers
who smoked should be dismissed. It is an interesting situation. Apparently teachers who smoke, if they are already
holding positions, may continue to indulge in cigarettes,
but no teacher who smokes will train the young idea in
Lynn if the school committee knows the awful truth.
There arises a question of demand and supply. If the
Lynn rule were to be of wide application, would there be
enough of the non-smoking teachers to meet the demand?
The habit of cigarette smoking among young people may
be highly deplorable. There arc a good many people who
think that it is. But the indications are that it is widespread. How many of the students in attendance at the
itate normal schools are cigarette smokers in their own
homes? To forbid smoking on the school premises ii one
thing. To try to prevent it elsewhere is quite another,
It may also be said of the action in Lynn that it puti
a premium on deception. The honest teacher, willing to
admit a fondness for the cigarette, is barred. The unscru •
pulous gets the job and smokes when not within the range
of the vigilant eyes of Lynn school committeemen, or
where children may be turned into tattlers. There is, of
course, new opportunity for the. activities of Paul Pry of
larger stature, And probably the sale of cigarettes in the
city of Lynn will not be diminished, It may be added that
Ibis article is not a defense of cigarette smoking by schoolma'ams. It merely suggests that with a multitude of young
people in the ranks of the smokers it is not the easiest
task in the world to put the school teachers in a clan by
themselves."
LEGISLATION RESPECTING SALARIES FUTILE
Albany High school women teachers who allege that they
arc being discriminated against because of their sex in their
salary in violation of the existing state law have made a
legal appeal to the state education department.
These teachers and the hundreds of others who supported
the passage of the bill which made "equal pay for equal
work" mandatory throughout the state were unquestionably
sincere. But they have harmed the pay situation more than
they have helped it, In general, the law has not raised the
salaries of women Icachcrs, Where it is not being either
Ignored or evaded, its result has been to lower the salaries
of llie men teachers rather than to raise those of the women.
The law is contrary to the economic principle of supply
and demand, Such being true, its utility and advisability
are doubtful, Certainly no one will deny that women
teachers have a right to all the pay they can obtain and no
one will deny them sympathy in well-chosen ways of getting it, It is true that women often fill positions as well
or better than men, But to legislate that any group must
receive as much or less or more salary than any other is
untitle interference into local control by the stale.
In the end these teachers will find that anything that helps
raise any leaching salaries or to keep salaries raised will
react to the good of the profession in general, But that
has not been the result of the equal pay law.
COLLEGE MORALS, WHAT AGAIN?
Apparently going on the supposition that T h e Plastic
Age represented college as it really is, Liberty is conducting a campaign to investigate the variety of charges
it alleges arc being made against young men and women
in colleges. Following arc examples of questions contained in a letter sent to various papers;

III (icUing parlies?
Again the question of the morals of college students
will be rehashed in the public print. . . . Such publicity will contain no fundamental criticism of our colleges and universities, Nothing will be said of standardizalion. Neither will it get at the real problems of
higher education, .'licit as those of admittance and over
emphasis of athletics, problems that undergraduates
themselves are trying to help solve, Likewise neither
will it indicate the inclination of many college students
to treat with disrespect common "rah rah" tendencies,
and instead, by means of honors courses, etc,, to place
greater emphasis on (he fact (hat colleges primarily are
institutions of higher learning.
STUDENT PROTESTS, "DIVINE DISCONTENT"
EDITOR, T H E IN'KWS:
This College is full of complaint, according to the Iwo
letters of discontent in last week's NEWS. It is a natural
stale of "divine discontent I"
The Y. W. ('. A. litis been making futile attempts at
starting a student forum, such as the large colleges have,
to represent stutle it opinions and activities, other than
literary and journalistic,
In place fif such a forum, supported by student thought,
(he student body of our College prefers a multitude of lifeless clubs, supported by extracted dues. They groan because they must attend the meetings, be bored, and yet
urged on by "tin cods" as one " '27 " gracefully expresses
it. Of course, there is the advantage of one's' picture in
the Bed!
In view of too much outside, useless activity, and lack of
social culture, which these social "clubs" fail to produce, and
with the undemocratic sorority method of selecting the
chosen few to partake of what social culture exists, who
can fail to see that llie way out is to abandon these clubs.
We should substitute in place of them ail organized student
body, which will push the "dorm," and represent student
activity and interests—such as a student forum.
Then, with literary, and journalistic, artistic and dramatic, as well as religious representation, and a reorganized
social life, Stale College may and can, take her place among
the "modern" colleges.

Stale Colle.jc tradition began to take
form eighty-two years ago when an act
was passed "for the establishment of a
normal school for the instruction anil
practice of teachers of common school in
the science of education and the art of
leaching."
In IH70 il was the custom for each
graduate In compose an essay to be given
at the. commencement exercises.
The
i pics that were chosen would hardly
appeal today. For instance, "Ministering Angels," "Wrecked at Last,
J'hc
Good Old Times," "Sunbeams" and
many others show the. popular appeal
then,
The first hand-books that came oiii
were published under the direction of
the V. W. C. A. This tradition is still
in use, hut the junior class now takes
die responsibility for them.
"Junior Week" is no longer so Important a custom here. The first week
of the second semester used to be set
aside for the juniors, al which lime they
justified their appclatlon of "jolly." Il
was a season of gaiety, opened.by junior Wednesday when the class took
charge of chapel exercises.
Thursday
evening was always the junior reception
lo the whole Cnllc'c. Friday occurred
llie Prom, and al the close of lire, week
die junior banquet',
The men of the normal in LS7-I eslali
lished an improvement society called the
"Independent
Order
of
Normals,"
Though intended to be permanent, it is
no longer In existence, Its object was
to "improve in education, composition
and debate, enlarge fund of general intelligence, exhibit due consideration for
opinion and feelings of others, maintain
perfect command of temper, and seek
for truth."
The freshmen seemed to be rather imposed upon hi former years. There was
a rule that no freshman man could walk
with a young woman within a block of
(he College, and that no freshman woman could walk within one block of the
College witli a young man, No frosh
could go in die Hampton or Kecler's
unless with parents or guardian.
The
freshmen were nOt permitted to sit in
(he pit or llie first five rows of the
balcony of Harmanus HIeccker Hall,
Colonial, Grand or Poland theaters unless accompanied by an upper classman.
It was a strict rule (hat no freshman
could speak in student assembly unless
especially requested by Myskania.
When the "Echo" was the Collate
publication, it was (he custom to support and maintain il entirely by the students alone.

years ago are still in use today; for in,-;

Many students base inquired aholll the
necessity of creating new olTiccs in the
Campus commission when we already
bine so many dormant offices. Certainly
we eannnl entrust the duties involved
in student citizenship to inactive people.
We have Lug had need of a group which
would take the responsibility of on fore
big onleriy habits among our .sludenls;
a group which will make u^ realize that
each of ns i- one of (lie "wolves" thai
make up Kipling's "pack."
t'nless we are conscious of our place
in the community, we become careless.
The result is a display of selfish individual nature such as spoiling the appearance of our corridors, locker rooms and
mail-box with ugly, carelessly made, individual lost and found notes, second
hand book, or entertainment announcements,
His FAITH unconquerable, his passion for
work irresistible, his accomplishment not surpassed in the annals of invention, Thomas
Alva Edison has achieved far more than mankind can ever appreciate. February eleventh is
the eightieth anniversary of his birth.
Willi the Campus commission consisting of a director chosen by Myskania and
executive council, and two members of
each class appointed by class presidents,
we should see signs of recovery from
llie serious malady. I feel certain that
I he visible results of the work of the
Campus commission will convince those
who object to the creation of new offices,
that we have acted wisely,
i agree with them, that we have many
useless offices which should be eradicated.
In fact, we have a few organizations
which should be scratched from our list
of clubs. Perhaps, soon, we shall have
a plan whereby we can abolish those
organizations which have outgrown their
usefulness or which no longer show evidence of carrying out the purpose for
which they were created.
Wherever electricity is used—in homes, in business, in industry—there are hearts that are consciously grateful, that humbly pay him homage.

provides lecturers who go from club to

T h e Co-op will discontinue its practice of sending notes to the students

Some of the best books, according to
Miss Fay. arc "Wives" and "Naturalist

have been rented but two or three times
during the semester. The rental shelf
may include only fiction next year.
Books added to the Co-op rental shelf
