Byrne Bill To Be Acted On La'er

The fate of the Byrne bill appropri­ating $250,000 to begin work on the proposed three building addition to 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.

"The 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,

Junior Prom Leaves No Doubt Of Success

i he night of January 30 marked the passing of Junior Prom, the crowning jvent of the career of 1926. It ful-,i|lul the keenest anticipations of the most enthusiastic supporter. The attests were received by the ex-offi-cio faculty members of the class, President and Mrs. Ahram K. Brtt-bncher Dean Anna E. Pierce; the 'acuity members of the class. Miss J. Frabelle Johnrton. Miss Maud Mal­colm, and Miss Margaret Bet/.; the lass officer.", Hilda Kliukhart, Mary

The junior luncheon was held in the attractive old Dutch atmosphere of the Colony Pta<a. and opened with the " Alma Mater." led by Mary Rhcin. iiuging followed each course, and after the delicious luncheon was over, Mary F anigan, as toastmistress, presented "resident Brubacher who spoke on he value of friendship at college. He idded that it was highly essential for .•very girl to be able to address every tber girl in her class by her first

He went on to speak if the junior class as the nameless class since it was the clas-,, and read the ideas of Professor Butler of Columbia University about the college 'Indent and his reading. Dean Hor­ner certainly painted a bright future 'or the college student, and did not seem to agree with Professor Butler Everyone certainly agreed with Mary Plamgan when she spoke of State's former dean, and of the fact that while he was at State College she found out that "a man's a man for a' that."

Miss Pierce, introduced as having her name in " Who's Who." spoke of •he '' daily dozen," as " think a good thought," and " do a kind deed.'' Miss Pierce then spoke of the dormi­tory, and as the speech lasted more ':han two minutes, she won a wager or it from both Dean Horner and President Brubacher Dean Mctzler elaborated on the subject of friendship and closed with the motto, 'Do Unto

TEAM WON THIRD GAME

Two Home Games Scheduled Next Week

i he varsity basketball team won its bird straight home victory Saturday

The varsity will not play this week Silt next week it has two home games eheduled. A week from to-night

'Irooklyn Pharmacy will be met here •nd the following night Oswego Nor-'1ft! will he played. Coach Baker has

kept up practice this week and will push it until the games. The Phar­

macy tilt is expected to be a stilT triiggle.

In last week's game, the alumni, laying a galaxy of former Purple and iohl -Uars, failed to keep up with the

regulars' team play and played poorer 'tall during almost the entire game. I'iarly in the second half, spurred up by the addition of Stanley Fitzgerald, 'orwanl on the college's stale Inter* •ollegiate championship outfit of 1917, he alumni had a brief run of scoring, Kuczyiiiski. State forward, broke it up with a basket.

Kticzynski was the individual star. l*'or the alumni. Cassavant was high mm with live points, but Fitzgerald r< red fniir ill one half. The game started off speedily with

both teams playing tightly for five minutes before Kticzynski scored on a ass from Gaiuor. Cassavant missed

i foul and Kticzynski tallied one. 'lormuig came through with an easy 'askel and then Ifathorn scored from •intler the basket, After that the Purple and Gold scored frequently. The half which started fast lagged in 'he closing minutes. Griffin went in at left guard for Gilchrist as the icriod ended with the regulars leacl-ng._ 11 to 6.

Fitzgerald was played in place of l.inck in the second half at left for­ward. Cassavant tallied a foul, Hor-iiuug came back with one for State and Fitzgerald made one. The alumni •purted, then slowed up and the var­sity hung up several baskets.

Coach Baker's lineup saw Gilchrist and Griffin in Nephew's place at left guard. For the alumni, Cassavant, and Hathorn were regulars on the '21 team, Linck was manager and a sub-'tiutute that year. Davies was a regular on last season's squad and Shcrley was captain two years ago. Fitzgerald played the year the varsity lefcatcd Cornell and Syracuse for the

*tatc championship. By its win the team brought its home record to three victories in live games, the best in two years. SUMMARY

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 pro­

posed law: President, $7 000 to $7 500. maxi­

mum; dean. $4,500 to $5,000 minimum. 5,000 to $6,000 maximum; director of

training (new provision) $4,000 mini-mint, $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 minimum, $.3,000 to $4,000 maximum, •'200 to $250 annual increase; instruc­tor, $1,800 to $2,000 minimum, $2 600 lo $2 800 maximum; assistant instruc­tor, $j 200 to $1,500 minimum, $1,500 to $1,800 maximum.

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 Lic-bech, '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. ALUMNAE STATIC Walker, H. r. f. Crr.ddock Walsh, H. I. f. Hoy I Leibich, H. c. Tompkins George, P. r, g.

Russell Sage College of Troy has duly challenged Slate's women's var­sity to a basketball game. Manager Janctta Wright, 26. announces March 7 as the date set. The match will be played on ll'c Troy door.

Remembering last year's victory and State's defeat in '22, the game this year should be of particular interest. In view of past experience, the stu­dent body is planning a wholesale invasion of the rival college on the staled day, Saturday, March 7.

'28 TO PLAY R. P. I. FRESHMEN The freshman men's basketball

team, which lost a close game to the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute year­lings at Troy Friday night, will play a return game either February 1.1 at State, or March 21, at Troy. The score of the game Friday was 22 to 1') The contest was closely played throughout, the freshmen's work show­ing a marked improvement over the game with Waterford High school. At half time the Engineers' cubs were leading, 14 to 8, and in the sr-oml half, each team scored eight points The Purple and Cold freshmen were slow in finding the basket in the open­ing period and the opponents ran up a lead which they maintained to the final whistle. Nephew was high man for the freshmen with eight points. Kuc/.yiiski, Coff, Crillin, and Dobris also played.

The General Electric Com­pany provides for agricul­ture little motors that clothe farm chores and great ones t h a t opera te mammoth pumps to i r r iga te vast stretches of arid valleys.

If you are interested in learning more about what electricity is doing, write for Reprint No. AR391 con­taining a complete set of these advertisements.

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.

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. I t is a tool ready for your use and which, wisely used, will make the impossible of today an accomplished fact tomorrow.

G. A. A. Frolic Frid iy Vaudeville! Anything from tragedy

to slapstick farce may be included under that heading, State has had plays, concerts, and bazaars. G. A. A. is betting a precedent. On Friday evening, March 27. there will be pre­sented a program of vaudeville, record-shattering and astounding, under the auspices of the Girls' Athletic Asso­ciation of State.

The rcsponsonsibility for this affair lies with Lorcna Shaffer, '26, general chairman. Several committees are assisting her in arranging for the event: Stunts, Bertha Zajan, '27; lighting, Dorothy Hoyt, '25; house. Gcorgianna Maar, 27; stage set, Mary Flannigan, '26; costumes, Dorothy Taylor, '25; stage manager, Marion Schracclcr, '25; music, Beulah Eckcr-son, '25; dancing, Ruth McNutt, '27; properties, Jeanette Waldbillig, '28; ushers, Beatrice Wright, '28; pub­licity, Marian Chcscbrough, '26; pro­gram, Helen Elliott, '26.

ATHLETIC WORK COMMEND­ABLE

The work of the varsity basketball team this season has been gratifying to the college. At the present time the team has played eight games, and has: won three of them. Five or the games have been played ill Albany, and in its home court the Purple and Gold stands with three wins against two losses,

Admittedly, this is a good record It compares very favorably with that of the last two years. It has brought a revival of confidence both from the college and from the general sports world. With four more games to play the team should bring in two, possibly three, more victories.

The team has met reverses. Since the St. Michael's game Johnson has been kept from the squad by illness. In the three weeks before the end of the season the varsity has a right to expect every support from the college. Cheering should be better than it was at the Alumni game. Attendance should be better. The team practices faithfully, its schedule has been well chosen and it works hard in all its games. Its support from the student body should not lag.
