EDUCATORS MEET TODAY IN ALBANY
Pres iden t Brubacher Will Be Chai rman of Second
Assemblage
"Adult Education in Art, Music, Industry" is the topic for discussion this morning at the second day's session of the sixty-sixth annual Convocation of the University of the Slate of New York, which is being conducted in Chancellor's hall.
President A. K. Brubacher will preside this morning at the discussion meeting. This afternoon "The Library and Adult Education" will be discussed under the supervision of Dr. Harry W. Rockwell, president of the State Teacher's college, and Dr. George 11. Hood, regent. The speakers will lie George II. Locke, from the Toronto public library, Miss Alice S. Tyler, formerly of the Western Reserve university, and Arthur E. Hostwick, of the St. Louis public library.
"The adult has recently assumed a place of importance in our educational practice," said President Brubacher this morning in introducing the discussion topic. "The continuation school, the foremaushi'p training courses, Americanization classes, various in-service education schemes, etc., .show that we now conceive education a-> a continuing process. The public library continually incites |be literate part of our population to good works," he continued.
Adul ts Negligible Before 1900 •Trior to 1^00 the adult was not
an appreciable element in our educational effort. The immigrant whose children overcrowded our municipal school systems between 1901) and 1915, himself became a social problem by his ignorance of our language and of our .social and political institutions. Americanization classes for adults was our method of treatment. Then came a demand for up-grading industrial employees through various adult education schemes. That we should now include art and music in the program, is not only appropriate but seems inevitable. Il is not euouh In make the adult efficient ; we wish also to give that inner resourcefulness and understanding by which he may enjoy the fine things of literature, line art. music," President lirubacher concluded.
Since the theme of the e m u l a t i o n is "Adult Education," and Slate college students are mil directly concerned with this topic, no i l.i .ses will lie excused to attend the inciting, I 'resident Bruhai her anil, mured.

State college delegates have brought back reports from two of these conventions saying that the concensus of opinions of the delegates was against such payment.
I t is a well-known fact that editors of many collegiate publications are paid. But the majority of papers take the opposite stand. The college journalist must have a different attitude. He should work for the pleasure derived from the occupation without the additional reward of a cash bonus.
As there is no other way for State college students to gain experience in practical journalism it would be rather ungrateful of those who are getting such valuable training to expect to be paid for their labors, no matter how tedious or wearing.
Also, from one point of view, it changes the standing of a collegiate editor from amateur to professional.

A CHANCE TO MEET POET Slate college students will have an unparalleled op
portunity to hear one of the most famous of modern poets when Vachel Lindsay appears in the auditorium of Page hall next Wednesday night under the auspices of the State college alumni association.
His poetry is noted for its unusual rhythmic elTccts, and undoubtedly a rare treat is within the grasp of anyone who has a proper standard of values.
A 50 per cent reduction in the price of tickets has been arranged for the students by the committee in charge, and the students are urged to take advantage of this chance. It may not occur again.
EXIT: COUGHS AND SNEEZES Construction of an inclosure in the peristyle leading
from Husted hall to Richardson hall is nearly completed, and already the students have noticed and appreciated the difference. Although more than the traditional "few cents" have been expended in thus protecting the students from inclement weather, the returns in freedom from colds, coughs and sneezes in about 1100 future teachers of New York state is worth all the money being spent. It is thought that the twenty students who were omitted from the above estimate would catch colds anyway.
One circumstance that is uncomprehensible, however, is why the tinder-passage which is already in being was not utilized rather than constructing this addition, no matter how welcome.
NO MORI-; ALIBIS When the students returned to College this fall they
appreciated the fact that the facilities of the College library had been enlarged by the addition of several tables and reading lights placed near the library on the second floor of Draper hall. Seats in the library are always at a premium and any increase in their number is welcomed.
Today Miss Mary !•'.. Cobb, College librarian, announces a further improvement in the library facilities through the co-operation of the commerce department. Rooms on the third floor of Draper hall have heen made available for any students who fail to obtain places to study in the library.
The now historical case of the student who did not have his assignment done because he could not find any place free from intrusion in which to study should have no cause to be repeated in State college.
(For Sale in the Co-op) Collected Poems. By Vachel Lindsay. 464 pages, Mac-
millan, New York. §3.50.
Interest in the poetry of Vachel Lindsay has certainly been stimulated by his scheduled lecture in Page hall on October 22. To read his Collected Poems is to acquaint oneself with the poet before he arrives.
The collection represents Lindsay in every phase upon which lie has written. It contains all of his poems together with many illustrations engraved by the author himself. The collection has been dedicated to Sarah Teasdale, poet.
American critics have hailed Lindsay as the outstanding American poet of the clay. They have said that he best expresses the spirit of the youth and this latter criticism is borne out by his collection.
Among the more interesting and better known poems represented are "Congo", "The Chinese Nightingale", and "The Trial of the Dead Cleopatra".
To read his poems is to see him in many different lights. He is at various times the preacher, the prophet, and the protagonist. And at times he is the dreamer and singer of lyrics. His works in many instances show deep and quiet feeling.
It has heen said that the present production of the poet is but a milestone on a career of remarkable potentialities. But that can be told only in the future. Suffice it to say, the purchase of the volume will be well worth the price. In addition, sponsors of his reading here have declared that he will autograph volumes, which may be added incentive for the addition of this book to the library of modern poetry.
Journalism Paramount Here, Rice Says; Cultural and Practical Aid Is Stressed
BY GEOKOE P, RICE, '32 Managing Editor, STATIC I'OI.I.EUI-: N'KWS
I feel justified in saying that the cultural and practical advantages derived from active participation as a student journalist are unequalled by any other State college activity. I feel further justified in saying that the STATE COLLEGE N E W S is superior to any other of the College publications as an agency toward the achievement of those ends.
Let us look at the benefits derived from a cultural viewpoint. Perhaps the foremost is the personal contacts made with both faculty and students. Opportunity for pleasant social contacts with personalities of the faculty is decidedly restricted in the classroom. We must therefore turn to outside agencies for these contacts, if they are to be made at all. The Mews reporter, covering his "beat", has unusual opportunities for making those contacts and for meeting members of the faculty in situations where he does not have to "talk shop".
His range of student acquaintances I editor who conducts the news writing is decidedly enlarged, l ie is aware sessions. It benefits the managing of student projects, their sponsors, the | editor who conducts the head-line sec-
THE STATESMAN l iv K A Y C O L L I N S
The all-State dance gave the men their first break of the year as they did not experience that strong opposition from their respective neighbors, Union and R. P. I. There was an apparent era of good feeling and as the evening progressed the co-eds became very congenial in spite of the severe cramping of their style. However, they were deeply grieved when at 11 o'clock their gentlemen friends informed them that it was time to go home. In fact one fair co-ed remarked that it was really too early for intermission to say nothing about making final break. The orchestra gave the students ample time to rehearse their steps between dances as they frequently found it necessary to inspect the campus.
Bv virtue of the decision of the freshmen the crowning of the campus queen tomorrow will undoubtedly reveal the ideal of the senior class. We sincerely trust that the Krosh have exercised the utmost care in arriving at their difficult decision. The men are waiting anxiously for their queen whom they hope will be exactly what they ordered, while the women remain also in avery anticipatory mood.
In order to carry out the principle of continuity, the sororities will conduct their house dances the night after Senior Hop. This will avoid the necessity of changing garments and also add to the convenience of the guests who undoubtedly will be imported from many remote places, including Shushan, IJuskirks, Crowbill, Athol, k, P. I., and Hicksville L. I. The wisdom of such an arrangement cannot be too highly praised, heme the i lass of '31 establishes another precedent.
Horace R. Myers, winner of the Whcelock scholarship and prominent reformer, has been conducting a very important experiment in a new field on Summit Avenue. The work seems to be of a confining nature and as a result Horace has been devoting the majorin of his evenings to this particular project. The identity of his new undertaking will not he disclosed until a later dale.

He learns to judge values and to form opinions for himself on nearly topics of student interest. The MEWS is the agency which opens to him these fields, for its function is not only to provide a paper of four or six pages each week, but to (rain the members of its staff to he able to evaluate, to be able to think, to use tact where necessary, and to he decisive at the proper moment.

If he is connected with the cdi- j torial department, he is particularly stimulated to weigh carefully and consider student problems, for his assertions through the medium of the editorial column may be largely instrumental in the formation of the students' opinions.

An unusual record is held by Harold llaswell, '32, who has been instrumental in finding his class mascot twice. Two years ago Haswcll was a member of a group of three freshmen who found the sophomore mascot. The cat, it was said, had given away its hiding place by meowing while Samuel S. Dransky. Edward Merry, and Haswell were searching for it.
Several weeks ago the junior class announced that the mascot had mysteriously disappeared. Members of the class searched high and low, and every back fence in Albany was visited in a vain search for the missing mascot.
The mystery was finally solved when llaswell discovered the mascot in the Kappa Delta Rho fraternity house. The cat had evidently fallen asleep in front of the fireplace and was not noticed.
Members of the fraternity agree that this is the first time anyone has sought membership in such a manner. They are undecided, however, whether the sex of the cat makes it ineligible for membership.

CHORUS IS FOURTH IN SONG CONTEST
Professional Clubs Are Awarded Leading Places In New
York Meeting
The State college chorus was awarded fourth place in the competition of women's choruses which was conducted at Hotel Astor, New York City, recently, according to Dr. T. Frederick H . Candlyn, head of the music department.
The participants in this contest, those clubs which won the regional contests last spring, competed on separate nights. At the final contest last Friday night, Buffalo State Teachers college sang in competition with the State college chorus. Out of the ten clubs singing in the finals, the following secured the first four places, the first three of which were awarded prizes:
1. The Adesi Club, N. Y., §300. 2. The Morning Choral Club,
Brooklyn, §200. 3. The Phoenix Club, Potsdam,
N. Y., §100. 4. The State college chorus. The judges stated that the differ
ence in marks for the above four clubs was extremely small while the difference between third and fourth place was infinitesimal, Dr. Candlyn announced. Each of those choruses which received a prize is a professional one.
State college was represented by approximately fifty people including: First sopranos, Friscilla Hammersley, Dorothy Brandow, Margaret Pettin-gell, and Elizabeth Kronenburg, seniors; Audrey Elowcrs, Juanita Rafter, Catherine Riegel, Helen Mead, Ruth Hartin, Anne Nesbit, Kathentie Belknap, Lillian Weinberg, Edith Le-vine, Florence Cabauer, Florence Burke, Elsie Holmes and Clara Decker, juniors ; Carol Nichols, '33.
Second sopranoCZoe'ff i i i r fch and Edith James, seniors; Julia Foster, Esther Higby, Asenath Van Buren, and Martha Cornice, juniors ; Eugenia Millard, '33.
Altos, Pearl Cook, Evelyn Koch, Wilhelmina Schneider, Margaret Betts, and Elsa Penteche, seniors; Bessie Levine and Isabel Peard, juniors.
After the contest, the State college chorus broadcast over Station WGBS. The party stayed at the Lincoln Hotel over the week-end.
Ques t ion : " D o you favor abolit ion of F r e s h m a n W e e k ? "
Carol Kelley, '31: " I certainly favor the abolition of F re shman week. I consider the custom very childish. I t merely gives some sophomores oppor tuni ty to boss freshmen. T h a t it can lead to serious results has been illustrated. I t contr ibutes no th ing toward making a college student of a high school senior."
Samuel Dransky , '32: " I do. The present freshman week is no more use than the hole in a doughnut. W e should have some way of a rous ing college spirit in the freshmen but I th ink it would be better to have freshman week one of rivalry — competition between the sophs and frosh in games, dancing, songs, e tc ."
Andrew Hr i t z , '32. " I don ' t think freshman week should be abolished. I t is tradit ional in State college and for that mat te r in nearly all colleges to treat the freshmen in this or a like manner. It is collegiate."
Ray Collins, ' 3 1 : "This is strictly a professional institution. Therefore we should el iminate such an elementary procedure ."
Alvina R. Lewis , '33: Although 1 have experienced both sides of freshman week insti tution, I think it is a lot of fun. The freshmen and sophomores both are very interested by the custom. It promotes friendship within the classes and between them."
Louise Wel ls , ,'34: " I do not think that the freshman week should be abolished entirely, but 1 do think that the wear ing of crazy clothes should be omitted from the proceedings. 1 think there is a much better way tha t the purpose of this week could be carried out."
