WHAT ARE OUR ASSEMBLIES WORTH?
Many questions have arisen lately us to what our
assemblies offer the students, and whether they are as
beneficial as they might be. The chief criticism has
been the number of speakers that have appeared before
the association and the length of the addresses delivered.
Unquestionably, i t is true that there is little time
remaining in our assembly programs for student business.
The few minutes allowed are consumed with
announcements. As many students have only the half
hour for lunch, it is impossible to continue the meeting much after twelve 0 'clock.
Another criticism centers around the unvaried program, i.e., the customary speaker. With the few excepti o n s such as the Christmas sing, the senior-sophomore
debate (which, though it did not lill the objective intended, provided one of the most entertaining assemblies
during the first semester), song practice, and pep meeting, there has been little to promote interest in the
weekly period.
A third criticism has been the unduly long delay of
receiving the report of the representative lo the
Student Federation of America convention.
.Seven
weeks have elapsed before Mr, Deno is scheduled to
present his comments of this meeting. Much of the
effectiveness and value will have been lost by this
untimely delay. If I lie student body is to appropriate
a hundred and fifty dollars to send a representative
for a student report of this annual affair, it should deserve a more prominent spot in the assembly schedule.
Is an equal sum ever spent to obtain any of our other
programs?
The fact that there has been no student business is
due to the luck of time rather than the hick of business,
Many matters of importance are frequently
brought before the students in the spring semester,
Unless each assembly provides adequate time, such
legislation as may arise will be rushed through without
adequate discussion and thought. That is neither sane
practice nor democratic government.
The general listlessness and newspaper reading in
assembly may be directly due to the stereotyped char
actor of these sessions. A little variation can awaken
this dormant interest and make some of these eleven
o'clock periods more than a regular lecture class.
THE MAILBOX—A SOURCE OF REVENUE
Whatever may be written appears to have little
effect on the person or persons who are working their
way through college by way of the student mailbox.
Report* still prevail that letters containing money have
disappeared from this service station.
Those who have suffered a loss will need no word of
advice, but others may be prevented from experiencing
financial embarrassment through appropriation of funds
by some unknown individual. Do not have loiters containing money sent to the college. Do not) have your
roommate bring your letters to the college and put them
in the mailbox. Make some other appointment to receive your mail.
If it is impossible to prevent these losses in any other
manner, the one sure way will be to remove the source.
;
A general revival of spirit evident this week appears
to be the result of release from teaching on the part
of some one hundred fifty seniors, and the beginning
of a new semester. In addition, of course, there is the
general nervousness of the new teachers, and annoyance
of those unfortunates who must pursue their practice
work for the entire year.
In reality, it is the period of more resolutions than
New Year's itself. The promises to dean, teacher, and
self alike are sincere and determined until the self
meets the forces of human n a t u r e ; then begins a sad
story. If will power is strained to its utmost, it is
during the spring semester. I n the fall everyone is
resigned to the fact that one must wade in, as it were,
to the dark depths with the end far in the future. The
second semester brings it closer and, as the weeks wear
away, numerous diversions arise to tempt any well-made
resolution.
We can moralize and resolve all we will, but it still
boils down to the fact that the first semester is little
different from the second. Work must be covered and
mastered, be it a t the beginning in February or the
end in June. I t is not too difficult to cram at the end
and pass, but one may as well tack an A. B. or B. S. to
an empty shell. There will be as much comparative
substance in each. If there exists any " g u m p t i o n " in
this institution, make use of what there is and of the
facilities and opportunities offered.
Be true to the
dean, the teacher, and self.
Either present day events will be minimized in the
history books of the future as a temporary disturbance
in the course of time, or the decade of the thirties will
be the beginning of a long to be remembered era in
world history if the crop of world events continues to
occur as though they were wholesale products of some
hidden machine. Nothing seems to have escaped the
topsy-turvy actions of man or element.
In the midst of world "wide efforts for peace, a war
rages. Unfulfilled threats are making the League of
Nations tremble on its foundations. In Asia, under the
cloak of Hiding a down trodden nation, a subjected race
is being further buried under the shackles of the Master
of the East.
A Congress passes legislation to appease the voters.
A Court nullifies them in turn. One party threatens
and the other storms. Courtesy of action and speech
customarily expected of public officials finds no plaeo
in national politics, if what has already come is but
a sample, the future holds many choice bits of oratory
for the populace.
In Germany, the Olympics are under way despite the
opposition prevalent a short time ago. They mark one
of the few successes today to promote international good
feeling.
Even the weather cannot be classed as normal. Appearing to be docile and almost tropical the past few
years, it has arisen again as if to vent its rage on this
curious world.
Many more examples prevail in the current news.
A perusal of any daily newspaper will show similar
facts to sustain the statement that we are in an unusual
period of history in the making.

Enthusiastic Audience Acclaims
Ruth Draper As a Monologist
COMMUNICATION
Editor STATE COLLEGE N E W S :
Enthusiasts of the drama, both of
State college and of the Albany area,
were privileged to see Ruth Draper
present her progrnm of monologues
Wednesday, February 5, in the Page
hall auditorium. Miss Draper, who
is of national and international reputo
in this a r t of the stage, was enthusiastically received by her capacity
audience, and with only the aid of
costumes and the simplest furniture,
created and enacted a number of situations, both comedy and tragedy,
varying from scenes of Irish life in
Kerry, to the table talk of the
matrons of Park avenue.
Her initial presentation, " T h e
Opening of the B a z a a r / ' revealed her
as the village booster, and her exceptional ability with gestures and rapid
change of attention, created for her
audience a setting complete in detail
and replete with spectators of every
sort.
Voice intonations secured a
conception of distance to the listener.
" I n County K e r r y , " her second
act, was equally impressive and her
command of the Irish brogue used
with her skill of presentation of the
previous act, contributed much lo its
effectiveness.
Recently you printed a letter from
a "disgusted member of the Lion
b o a r d " berating the Lion for its
attitude towards sorority rushing.
The Lion is, and has always been
intended as, a humor magazine, and
not as an editorial mechanism to
" e x p o s e " and condemn nay particular phase of college life which
does not happen to please its chief
executives. We are endeavoring to
keep it a humor magazine, not a
scandal sheet.
The petition referred to was a very
reasonable request, not a demand—
a request that we delay our issue a
few days. I t was signed by fourteen
sorority presidents. The reason given
for the absence of one signature was
that the president could not be
reached in time. Before and after
the presentation of the petition,
sororities had expressed their hopes
that the Lion wait until after rushThe f a d s a n d f a n c i e s o f t h e d i e t a r y
ing. If a group of leading seniors
believe that harmful effects might w o r l d w e r e h e r t o p i c o f c o n v e r s a t i o n
result from an issue of the Linn be- in h e r n e x t p r e s e n t a t i o n , " D o c t o r s . "
fore rushing, why should the Lion W i t h h e r i m a g i n a r y c o m p a n i o n s , s h e
hesitate to delay its issue a week or p r o v i d e d a b a n q u e t o f d i e t a r y d e l i ten days. Its humor should be just cacies, a n d h e r t a b l e t a l k , r e p l e t e w i t h

O H I O UNIVERSITY'S Alumnus No. t is another
^ man of huge bulk: Frank Crumit, radio network
singer heard Sunday afternoons from coast to coast.
A Phi Delta Theta, he once returned for a visit and
gamely sang two of his
own songs on a serenade
program in front of Lindiey Hall. To those who
asked who Frank Crumit
was, came the information:
a jovial undergraduate with
baseball and football ability, he left Ohio U. in
1912 to study music in
Cincinnati. Thence, by
way of vaudeville, he was
featured in Broadway shows like Oh Kay, Betty Be
Good, and Hf>, Ho ^dnette.
These were shows dedicated to. girls, among them
a stage star, Julia Sanderson, whom Frank married in
1927. They now co-star on the networks. To Ohio U„
Frank Crumit, ex'12, has dedicated two songs. The
Buckeye Battle Cry of Ohio State is also Frank's work,
as is Gay Caballero. The latter is one of those things
Frank can really deliver,

A MERICA'S Public Alumnus No. i is Alexander
** Woollcott. As late as his senior year at Hamilton
College (New York), his brothers#in Theta Delta Chi
didn't know whether or not they should read him out
of the club. Brother Alex persisted in wearing a red
fez about the house. No action was taken, however,
and in 1909 Woollcott received the blessing of his
Alma Mater and a Ph.B. degree.
Although he was a postgraduate one year at
Columbia, Alex has his fondest words and thoughts
for Hamilton. In appreciation he received an honorary
degree in 1924. Dramatic critic for the Times, Herald,
and World in New York from 1914 to 1928, Woollcott
has since puttered his way to a fortune as a writer
and radio star. Pudgy, preferring physical inertness,
he once acted on Broadway in a play that required
little effort beyond keeping from rolling off a divan.
Yet, in the Great War, he became a sergeant in a
hospital unit.
Had Chaucer's Canterbury Pilgrims been recruited
in this century, they would certainly have taken
Woollcott along, and some of Chaucer's nimblest tales
would have begun this way: "Woollcott speaking."

Plant For Addition
To Milne Building
Reach Completion
A three-story nddition to Milno
High school to provide classrooms
for special courses in art, home economics, dramatics and class instruction demonstrations, plus a machine
shop in tho basement is planned and
will be erected during 1936 through
funds furnished by the unemployment relief bond issue of last fall.
This project was made public by Dr.
A. B. Brubacher, president, recently.
The structure, which will cost approximately $30,000, is one which
will fill a long-felt need at the Milne
High school. The art, home economics and machine shop rooms will
enable the school to follow the courso
laid down by the State Department
of Education in providing training
facilities for junior high school
teachers.
Construction of the addition, which
will be erected between Page hall
and Milno high school, will be a
comparatively short project and will
probably be completed during the
summer vacation, according to Dr.
Brubacher's statement.
STATE COLLEGE NEWS, FEBRUARY 14, 1936
Co-op 'Open Door' Policy
Aids Student Orientation
In all the turmoil and excitement of the resumption of classes,
those few freshmen who are making their entrance to State college
nt this time are not only neglected, but ignored. As a NEWS
reporter, aware of this situation,
scouted around for a solution to
the problem, a side trip to the
Co-op seemed an excellent solution.
Miss Fny, manager of tho collego bookstore, especially extends
to all new students an invitation
to come in and get acquainted.
Aside from its commercial aspect,
Miss Fay points out a few of the
services and attractions of tho
shop. The haunted bookshop is
an excellent place to pass a few
hours browsing among famous and
popular writers, and a placo where
acquaintances are rapidly formed.
If there are questions which you
wish answered concerning time
tables of busses or trains, the
Co-op stands at your service.
And in tho financial field, Miss
Fay will render a service to college students by endorsing checks
which tliey wish to cash.
