EDITORIAL
On account of the recent difficulties
between the faculty and students the
college has gained throughout this
section a certain amount of no
toriety which we will not attempt
to prove as beneficial. It is rather
interesting from our standpoint to
notice the views with which different
people look at the matter. It is to
be regretted that certain papers re
sorted to the invention of much
news in order to satisfy the morbid
appetite of the average public. If
many of us did not already know, ii
would not be difficult for us to pick
out the Philadelphia paper which
suffers from that desease commonly
known as “yellow journalism” Some
have made a rediculous and ludi
crous farce comedy out of the affair
and others have tried to give the im
pression that State is attended by a
lot of irresponsible youngsters still
in their “teens.” Last week the
Scranton Tribune published an arti
cle that is an insult to the student
body. It can be classed with vulgar
and indecent reading matter. We
are sorry for the editor of that
paper. One thing we have noticed
THE STATE COLLEGIAN
is that in many ca;es the writers are
not possessed with a knowledge of
the affair. We do not - understand
why any one should be so bold as
to criticize unless he has at hand
the facts of the case. This state of
affairs exists in about every phase of
human life and is responsible for
much evil which exists everywhere.
Basketball
Manager King is working hard to
finish his basketball- schedule. Up
to date it stands as follows :
Dec. 15, Juniata, at State.
Jan. 16, Wyoming Seminary,
(probably) at State.
Jan. 29, Susquehanna, at State.
Feb. 2, Lehigh, at Bethlehem.
Feb. 3, Univeisity of Pa. at Phila
delphia.
Feb. 5, Lebanon Valley, (probab
ly) at Annville.
Feb. 16, Lebanon Valley, at State.
March 2, Allegheny, at Meadville,
March 3. Geneva, at Beaver Falls.
March 5, W. U. P., at Pittsburgh.
March 6, W. V. U., at Morgan
town.
Manager King is negotiating with
Geneva and W. U. P. for games at
State and will probably land two
such dates. It will be noticed that
Dickinson is not included in the
schedule, it having been decided to
drop basketball for this year at that
institution.
Owing to the lateness of the elec
tion of assistant basketball manager,
the Reserve schedule has not been
completed but it will be hurried
along in a very short time.
Durno, the Magician
No more mystified or better
pleased audience ever left a State
College entertainment than the big
crowd which slowly made ils way
out of the Auditorium on last Friday
evening. Durno’s performance was
equal to the best of its kind, and
the people are still wondering ‘ ‘how
he did it.” For the benefit of some
of its inquiring subscriber, the Col
legian wishes to state that we have
Mr. Pattersons word for it that the
Auditorium platform contains no
trap doors.
Y. M. C. A. Notes
Mr. Robert R. Gailey, of Tien-
Tsin, China, addressed the students
last Tuesday evening, Dec., 12 at
6.30 o’clock in the Old Chapel.
Mr. Gailey was one of the mainstays
of Princeton’s line for three years
and is recognized as probably the
best center that ever wore the
Orange and Black. It was his team
that gave Yale the worst licking she
ever received at the hands of her
Tiger rivals. He is now Inter
national Secretary of the Y. M. C.
A. at Tien-Tsin and the way in
which he told of that ancient c:,ty
and its inhabitants is intensely inter
esting.
Secretary Tinker of the Inter
national Committee of Young Men’s
Christian Associations spoke in the
Auditorium on Sunday morning,
and addressed a large gathering of
students at the Association meeting
in the evening. His talks were an
inspiration to his hearers, as he is
intensely earnest in his manner, and
talks “straight from the shoulder.”
State Secretary Miller was also
present at the meetings on Sunday
and helped in further organization of
the Bible study department.
Mission study classes will be
formed and opened soon after the
Christmas holidays.
The Fifth International Conven
tion of the Student Volunteer Move
ment will be held in Nashville,
Tennessee, late in February, and the
local Association expects to be rep
resented by several delegates.
Junior Civil “Feed.”
The Junior Civils held the first of
a series of “feeds” last Saturday
evening at 9 o’clock in McAllister
Hall.
Caterer Housel provided a tempt
ing repast, after which there were
impromptu speeches, songs, etc.
Thirty-one Civils of the original
sixty were present,
