ASSOCIATION TAX
1934
Seven hundred forty-nine students
have paid $10,486 of the $16,068.65
student association budget, according
to assistant professor Clarence A .
Hidley, treasurer of the student association.
The freshmen head the list
of those who have paid the student
tax, and the juniors are last. Three
hundred five freshmen, 166 sophomores, 140 seniors and 136 juniors
have paid the tax.
Last year, the record year for tax
collection, §11,760 had been collected
at the end of the regular collection
period, while this year approximately
$1,300 less has been collected than
last year, according to Professor
Hidley.
Since more than 300 students have
not yet paid their tax money, an extension of the period of tax collection
will be necessary, M r . Hidley said.
The cut in the budgets of the various organizations will be the same as
lust year if not less, Mr. Hidley announced.
The officers of the finance board for

1934 STEPS OUT
The class of 1934 has given unmistakable interest
that it intends to advance the interests of debate in this
College. Already the class has taken steps to organize
a team. Already it has scheduled one debate.
Such activity is worthy of commendation. N o other
freshman class in the history of the College has thu9
early organized its debate team, No other class has
made an attempt to schedule contests for its team, other
than the usual iuterclass rivalry contest.
Material for next year's varsity debate teams will undoubtedly be developed by these debates. Should the
present class challenge its iuterclass rivals to a debate,
it will have the advantage of knowing who can debate.
It will have debaters of experience upon whom the members of the class can rely.
The freshmen have made a good beginning.
Their
activity in debate will be watched with interest by the
student body as well as the faculty.

HAVE YOU FAIH YOUR TAX?
Calculations by the student hoard of finance prove
that the progress of tax collection is not up to the
standard of last year.
To date approximately eight hundred students have
paid about §1I),()00 into the student association treasury.
This means that there are more than four hundred who
have not yet paid.
Student activities, supported by the association tax,
cannot continue as planned unless everyone who can do
so pays the tax.
Unless the payments increase, a heavier cut will
necessarily result this year.

G.AA Strives For "Highest Standard":
Leader Stresses Fair Play And Health
BY IJBATRiri; V A N STERN BUROH
I'RKSIIIBNT, GIRLS' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION
Life here at State, as at any college, tends to reach an amazing complexity.
With concentration upon a rapid succession of events, the student feels the
need of a careful, well-balanced program. Recreation, involving careful attention to the best principles of good health, aids in acquiring the mental and
physical vigor necessary for success.
The Girls' Athletic association strives to supply the need felt for types of
recreation which will increase both friendships and enjoyable associations
with other women at college, stressing the opportunity to provide the physical
efficiency needed for a college career. In the program of G. A. A. there are
found, therefore, the "highest standards of clean sportsmanship, loyalty to
the group, the wisdom of good health, and the pleasure of fair play."
' Qualities that contribute to sound
leadership are robust health, intellectual curiosity, responsible citizenship,
and the thoughtful use of leisure time.
The ideals and opportunities that (',.
A. A. represents are based upon these
objectives, for G. A. A. encourages
"play for play's sake", the motto
adopted by Athletic Council of American College Women, the national
athletic organization to which G. A.
A. belongs. It encourages every girl
in college to play, to play skillfully
and hard so that each girl will develop an athletic "hobby"—a hobby
that will prove so entertaining that
it will be carried on through life.
G. A. A. aids in devoloping good
sportsmanship. It helps you to forget yourself in promoting the team.
It furnishes the opportunity for leadership. Thus are derived the benefits
of health, leadership, friendship, and
the satisfying use of leisure time.
Advocate Sport
Beatrice Van Steenburgh, '31,
who advocates active participation in College sports by the
members of the Girls' Athletic
association.
But who are entitled to enjoy these
privileges?
Every girl in college,
upon payment of her student lax,
automatically becomes an associate
member of the G. A. A. She may
use its equipment, take advantage of
the coaching supplied by the department of physical education and the
student coaches—in short, take part
in every activity sponsored by the organization.
Associate
membership
may become active membership upon
meeting the requirements in any one
of the sports offered by the association. Active membership carries with

an athletic council composed of

BASKETBALL MEN
APPEAR FOR FIRST
PRACTICE OF YEAR
Twenty-four
men responded to
Coach Rutherford R. Baker's call for
basketball candidates, at the first practice of the season conducted last
Thursday afternoon in the gymnasium
of Rage hall. The squad is slightly
irger than that of last year, a rather
fortunate circumstance as several vacancies have been left in Ihe team
which must be filled from Ihe ranks
uf the newcomers.
The greatest loss to the team is that
of Richard Winston, captain of last
year's five, and Leo Allan, star guard. I
Both of these players graduated last j
June after four yea-s of varsity serv- j
let. i h e scholastic ineligibility ::f two
other men of the BJ2V combination I
makes the problem of rebuilding this
season's quintet a difficult one.
However,
with
Charles
Lyons,
hVank Olt and Krwin Clark, seniors, j
and Gilbert Delaura, and Benjamin
Ingraham, sophomores, all of whom ;
are experienced varsity players, as a
nucleus it appears as if Coach Baker
will again have a winning aggrega- |
tion to represent Ihe college.
Practices will be on Monday nights, j
and Tuesday, Thursday and Friday
afternoon until the first game.
A State college graduate was second in a field of 1,34 aspirants, representing 34 nations, who took part in
an examination conducted at the University of Grenoble, Switzerland, this
past summer, He is Richard O'Brien
who was graduated from State college in BJ20 and received the degree
of bachelor of science.
This summer while abroad, Mr.
O'Brien was awarded the "Diploma

awarded by the faculty as a result
of special work in addition to several
years of preparation.

The classes in swimming began last
night, when three different units met
for .instruction at the pool of the
Jewish Community Center, at 111
Washington avenue. The first group
was a class for beginners in swimming,
and met at 4 o'clock. At 5 o'clock

Miss Katherine E. Wheeling, supervisor of English in Milne high school,
and President A. R. Brubacher, are
co-authors of "High School Composition and Grammar," of which book
one was issued in June by the Charles
E. Merrill Publishing company.
This book was written to replace
one by Brubacher and Snyder and is
not a revision of that book. Book
one is being used in the ninth and
tenth grades of Milne high school.
Book two, which is not yet completed,
will cover the work of the last two
senior high school grades.
The book is built on a plan of
diagnosing the difficulties of individuals with sufficiently rich materials
from which to chouse in meeting special needs. The principles of writing
are presented and illustrated by classical selections, followed by illustrative
compositions written by Milne high
school pupils.
There are exercises in which the
pupil puts into practice various principles occurring after each phase of
development.
The grammar section
includes all principles that may be
needed for correct speech and writing. |
Non-essentials have been omitted;
essentials have been interpreted in
the language of the pupil.
The book also contains diagnostic j
tests for grammar which enable the
teacher to select the part of the
grammar section applicable to her
needs. There are four illustrations
in color.
Mr. Winched, of the Charles J-:.
Merrill Co., said that the distinctive
feature of this book is that the responsibility for learning and for improvement is placed upon the pupil.

Who Has The Banner? Question
of Members of Class of 1932
"Banner, banner, where is the
banner, who has the banner"; this
is the new game that several enthusiastic members of the junior
class have been playing as they
assiduously searched the College
buildings and premises ior the
yellow and white ensign.
The banner was brought to the
College on the night of campus
day by Annabelle MeConnell, '31,
chairman of the decorations, to use
in decorating the gymnasium. T h e
other class custodians failed to
bring their banners, therefore the
junior banner was not used, and
was left backstage. When Miss
MeConnell returned to recover the
banner, it had disappeared.
Already an org- lized search
party has been appointed to discover the whereabouts of the msigna, with unavailing
efforts,
thus far, according to M. Curtis
Rutcmher, president of the class.
Kutemher hopes to recover the
banner before the junior prom.
ATHLETIC COUNCIL
DISCUSSES SPORTS
AT LAST MEETING
Intra-mural sports were discussed
at a meeting of the athletic council
which was conducted Thursday, October 30. The major part of the meeting was devoted to discussion concerning the question of having one
manager for tennis and intra-mural
sports.
Tennis has been considered a minor
sport at the college for the past few
years, with a schedule of four to six
matches a season. On the other hand,
inter-class basketball has been the only
intra-mural sport successfully fostered
at the college.
The council appointed Ralph Harris, '33, manager of the 1931 baseball
team. Dr. Uonnal V. Smith, associate professor of history, and chairman of the athletic council, presided.

scrvation showed that the majority
were even lines."
A fashion report compiled from the
style magazines mentioned
above
shows that the feminine mode, which
is the leading one, is sub-divided into
the classic, the romantic, the dramatic,
the demure, and the sportif,
Although hair dressers are pushing
short hair, illustrations indicate a long
hair effect even when the hair is
short.
Hem line lengths arc from twelve
to fourteen inches from the floor of
daytime wear, and down to the ankles
for evening wear.
"The method of determining style
trends by actual count is the modern
way of setting styles. Fashion stylists
no longer push a certain style simply
because some prominent person has
been seen wearing it. They must
back the style up with observations,
indicating what percentage of a certain number of people seen at a certain place were seen wearing the
style," Mrs. Barsam said.
A phrase which is indicative of
this is one which is found constantly
in the Woman's Wear, which always
says "they are wearing thus and so,"
rather than "the style is."
"The study of styles which we have
made was conducted in the same manner in which styles are set," Mrs.
Barsam said. "Through this study,
we discovered what the style is at
State college, and by studying the
trend as shown by magazines, we
found that it closely parallels that of
other college girls in the country,"
she added.
1932 Elects Two Men
For Athletic Council
Harold Ilaswell and Robert Goodrich were elected representatives of
the men's athletic council at a meeting of the junior class conducted recently.
Mildred Smith was appointed chairman of a committee to investigate the
possibility of having a junior class
party soon, Curtiss Rulcnbur, president, announced.

The development of G-E athletic-field floodlighting equipment was
planned with every consideration for the fundamental and special playing
conditions it must meet. That is why the big Novalux projectors give
ample and evenly diffused light over the entire playing area.
The development of General Electric floodlighting equipment has
largely been the work of college-trained men in the G-L' organization
— other college-trained men are largely responsible for the continuing
leadership of General Electric in furnishing the many other products
which bear the G-E monogram.
