Thursday afternoon, October St the student body was given he opportunity of hearing Dr. Bernard C. Clausen of Syracuse, who spoke under the auspices of Y. W. C. A.. Dr. Clausen who, at twenty-nine is recognized all over the country as one of the most forceful preachers of the day, spoke here at college on "Religion at Twenty-one." Dr. Clausen's talk was very informal, beginning with his descrip- tion of a strange and vivid advent- ure which he had experienced for a year, when lie lived in the midst of a tribe of natives whose problems are forever puzzling the world, Lpon this tribe depends the future of the Kingdom of God. If it is converted so is the world, otherwise ruin results. And yet this tribe- is the eternal puz- zle of all outsiders. They do not understand the language, the cus- toms, the music, the attitude of the tribe members. They cannot offer a solution for this independent mass, therefore they label the tribe as fit only for eternal damnation. This strange people which so per- plexes the world is bounded on the north by youth's courage, on tilt, south by youth's enthusiasm, on the east by youth's dreams, and on the west by youth's ideals. It is called " Twenty-one."

Too obvious piety repels rather than attracts. Youth says that if what Jesus said is true, then it should be more import- ant than anything in the world, but finding that is not to everyone, youth questions and is not at all convinced.

When grown-up elders warn against books which should not be read, courses which should not be taken, because of the danger involved which might destroy or weaken religious faith, it promptly reacts according to the laws of human nature.

A QUESTION OF COMMON SENSE During the past few years the

<iuestion whether the "Alma Mater," as we know it, has the characteristics of a real college anthem, has come up for discussion at various times. The contest has waged from one side to another, and in the end the situa­tion has remained unchanged. Noth­ing has been done.

Now the question has come up again. A new song book is about to be published. Shall the Alma Mater be included as State's own college song? There are many reasons why it shouldn't be.

In the first place the average per­son finds it " unsingable." If he isn't a Galli-Curci, he can't get up to the top notes with a step ladder. The extraordinary range makes it un­popular. And so it isn't heard very much at student assemblies.

The tune is a borrowed one. It does not primarily belong to us. Therefore it does not stand as characteristic of State College. Any other college or group, of students anywhere has the same right to use it as we have.

At the present time " College of the Empire State " is usurping the honors as our college anthem. It is sung every time a group of students get together. It is popular because it is everything that a real college song should be. It has a majestic swing to it that "Alma Mater" with its jerky rythm cannot equal. It is expressive of the college spirit, the loyalty that typifies State.

" College of the Empire State " has a tune of its own written by an alumnus. No other group can use it. It is written so that all voices can reach it and it harmonizes well with mixed voices.

The question is coming up whether we will retain " Alma Mater " or re­ject it for " College of the Empire Stab

BILLETS DOUX PREMONITIONS Billets Doux are like measles —

you feel them coming on but you can't get away from them no matter where you go; you arc perfectly dis­gusted with yourself for getting them and yet you couldn't seem to help it. And just as measles leave be­hind them effects felt long after, so billets doux leave behind sorely tried hearts and disgusted mentalities that stick with us even until mid-years.

In a very few short weeks these inevitable phenomena will be upon us with all the force of the history, English, matchematics and other equally terrifying departments. The freshmen fear these phenomena, the sophomores expectantly await them, having realized their fate at the first physics lecture, the juniors take them as calmly as juniors take all things, and with the senior they have become " old stuff."

And meanwhile, what arc you going to do about it? When you receive your little notice, are you going to give up all hopes and just lie down and let the rest of the col­lege sweep past you, or are you going to prove to yourself and to the college that, it takes more' than a billet doux to put you out of the race? Are you going to rave about the unfairness of your profs or are you going to take an inventory of your own intelligence and find the reason for that billet doux?

Are you, freshmen, going to let the world say that you could stay in the college only until they gave a few tests and that then you had to move out, or are you going to get out of your college course the very most by taking your medicine when it comes to you and profit by it?

Billets doux do not mean that we have failed. They do mean, however, that unless we put more ell'ort into our work, we stand a pretty good chance of making a mess of things in the future.

All of us get billets doux in time—• in a way, it's a sort of systematic dose of intellectual sulphur and molasses, administered with the hope of bring­ing us to the place where we will realize our deficiencies and of offer­ing a starting place for correction.

So when billets doux come out this year in State College, let's not moan or ravd or give up — but linstoad, let's show the faculty we appreciate their efforts; that we realize that more of the fault lies with us than it does with them; and put into those subjects in which we are billets douxed a little more conscientious elfort, a little less indifference, and make the course in spite of the over­whelming force of a billet doux.

" regular" college student. He comes to a school where the words " College Spirit" are lacking in the vocabularies of the Upper classmen. He does not know this, but soon finds it out. Tho majority of the fresh­men have discovered the fact already.

The Upper classmen, or so-called Upper classmen do all in their power to kill the " Spirit " in the frosh. It is their duty to foster the ideas of the freshmen and help them grow into the stages of the reality, instead of drowning them in an overflow of

contempt for the green freshman. The Upper classmen of this " Institu­tion of Learning " do not believe that a freshman has a brain or an idea. At least that is what Is shown by their attitude.

School Spirit is buried in an over­flow of so-called class Rivalry. Class Rivalry should give birth to School Spirit and not kill it. It is up to the Upper classmen and the Sophomore. What are you going to do about it?

GUILD OF ORGANISTS HOLD MEETING AT COLLEGE

The guild of organists of which Dr. Thompson is the Dean, met at col­lege Wednesday evening, November 1. The members were quests of Dr. Thompson on that evening and en­joyed refreshments in the college cafeteria. Plans were made for a program for the work of the year. There is to be a recital some time in December. A definite date has not been set. An investigation is being made of the history of church music, organs, organists and choirs of all the different churches of the capital district. A history will be written which will be most interesting and which will instruct in the rise and development of church music.

HOME ECONOMICS NOTES Mr. Douglas, a former member of

the State College faculty, spoke Oc­tober 31 to the Home Management Class on Child's restaurant system in the United States. Mr. Douglas is an inspector, whose duty it is to see that the restaurants are managed

according to Mr. Childs' original plan. Mr. Douglas pointed out some of the definite reasons which have helped to make the restaurants fam­ous. For example, he said that the waitresses were organized into a class in which they are carefully informed about the rules of waiting on table. Each waitress is an intelligent, high type of girl to whom courtesy is not an unknown virtue. Mr. Douglas said that right here was a fine oppor­tunity for a Home Economics girl to enter into the field of restaurant management. He spoke further of the extensive plans, which are in operation, to change the color scheme of the restaurants from a pure white to a buff color. More changes are now being made to educate the pub­lic as to the right kind of food to eat. Mr. Douglas took the last few minutes of his time to answer any questions which came up,

Miss Gillett, who in her series of talks has taken the students with her through the European home, con­tinued her lecture, telling at this week's meeting of German life. Miss Gillett supplemented her talk with pictures and other illustrations.

CHEMISTRY CLUB

At a meeting of the Chemistry Club, Friday, November 3, Queene Homan explained to us the attempt to utilize garbage. Experiments have been performed which show that by adding creosote and coal dust to street sweepings we get a very good

product for fuel, which is odorless and smokeless. This discovery is especially interesting at this time. She pointed out to us another use of garbage, which is to supply raw materials for cardboard, paper, etc.

and G A L I L E O There was much learning but

little real knowledge in Galileo's time (1564-1642). Aristotle was swallowed in bad Latin transla­tions. Ipse dixit. No one checked him by what seemed vulgar, coarse experiment.

Galileo fought against the dead hand of tradition. He did not argue about Aristotle, but put him to the test. Aristotle led his readers to believe that of two bodies the heavier will fall the faster. Galileo simply climbed to the top of the Leaning Tower of Pisa and dropped two un­equal weights. The "best peo­ple" were horrified; they even refused to believe the result— that the weights reached the ground in equal times.

"Look at the world, and ex­periment, experiment," cried Galileo.

The biggest man in the 16th

century was not Galileo in pop­ular estimation, but Suleiman the Magnificent, the Ottoman Emperor, who swept through Eastern Europe with fire and sword and almost captured Vienna. Where is his magnifi­cence now?

Galileo gave us science— established the paramount right of experimental evidence. Suleiman did little to help the world.

Hardly an experiment is made in modern science, which does not apply Galileo's results. When, for instance, the physic­ists in the Research Laboratories of the General Electric Company study the motions of electrons inrarified atmospheres,or exper­iment to heighten the efficiency of generators and motors, they follow Galileo's example and substitute facts for beliefs.

forbidden, indued, it will not be dictated to in negatives. Said Dr. Clausen, "We are fools if we nag. It is our duty to translate negatives into affirmatives which will satisfy the demands of Twenty-one."

Life, not death is what youth is interested in. The religion of life and enthusiasm will appeal to youth if rightly presented, but the hideous-ness of death, regarded too piously, it can not understand and will not respond to.

Twenty-one can find in Christ the only answer to its demand for

'fearless enthusiasm. He came to a world of negatives which he answered cd by saying, "Thou shalt love God. Thou shalt love thy fellowmen." In Christ there is undying youth. He spoke youth's language and faced its problems with all the enthusiasm of Twenty-one. In him can Twenty-one find the answer to all questions. Me belongs to youth.

Dr. Clausen, after his talk, answered several questions which cleared vague doubts in the minds of many of the students. His very personality seemed to inspire his listeners who left the meeting, wish­ing that they might have the good fortune of hearing him again.
