Student Assembly
Joseph A, Walker,
of the Senior Cla
ber of Student “Council, ex-
tended a welcome to those
present and addressed them on
the subject of the Student's tax.
He said that we have come to
college at an opportune time,
for since great things are being
done in the world so also they
ought to be accomplished in
this college. Just as the
United States “last spring
adopted a system, of universal
service, conscription, so like-
ise did State College devise a
scheme by means of which
every man and woman regis-
tered here would he able to do
his or her bit. Heretofore the
volunteer system had been in
ice, which produced many
strong ‘supporters and some
slackers. Among the latter
be numbered the man who
reads a college publication over
someone’s shoulder, The many
college units which depended
upon these voluntary contribu-
tions for support often failed to
realize their object. Conse-
quently last year the four
classes then “in attendance
voted a student’s ta
‘The. members of Student
Council have gone over the
estimated expenses offered by
the various organizations, and
have found the following
figures as items:
“The Echo” .... $800
“State College News”. — 900
Freshman Manual ..... 100
Press Club. 100
Basketball . 1,200
‘Total « $3,100
A tax of five dollars per
capita, levied on cach of the
six hundred and fifty people
registered, will cover _ the
necessary amount and leave a
balance to be used as a con-
tingency fund.
All colleges use this system
of taxation to put, thier organi-
7 on a sure footing. Stud-
ents here have no tuition to
pay, and no expenses except

everyone do what he can for

much for him. Let each hope
for a spontaneous general pay-
ment, so that a precedent may
be established of which all may

Followin, Mr. Walker's
speech, Mr, Maroney, the new
physical director, greeted the
assembly and spoke briefly of
the athletic situation, State
College has been seriously af-
fected by the present crisis,
as have all colleges, and conse-
quently the future’ of football

‘There remains no reason, how-
ever, why a basketball’ team
should not be organized. Tt is
important that every man try
out for the team, and that

” THE WORK OF MISS McCLELLAND
Alter forty-eight years of faithful Service to State College,
I Mary McClelland has retired from the college faculty.
‘Miss ‘McClelland was appointed teacher of English and history
in'1869'and Since that time she has been a member of the regular
téachirig ‘faculty. In 1909, when the college moved to its present
home at? Western Ave. and Rdbin St. Miss McClelland took
charge ofthe library, which, with the growth of the institution,
had conic: to: needithe care of one gifted with much executive
ability. -Last year,-in addition to the library work, she taught
a élass in history,
Miss McClelland has published many sketches, historical and
biographical, as‘well as stories, poems and songs, and has fre-
quently contributed to the “Echo.” At the request of President
Brubacher she compiled a memorial volume of the late Dr.
William J. Milne: Among the several educational organizations
with which Miss McClelland is connected are: The Association
of History Teachers of the Middle States and Maryland, and
‘The English Council. She is‘a member of the College Club and
an honorary ‘member of Promethean,
Miss McClelland is very popular with the student body, and
the graduates and present students will always remember her
talks given each year a few days after the opening of college.
It-is difficult to imagine how one could be more solicitous of
the welfare of the students than was Miss McClelland. Never
did>she: spare any effort in behalf of those who were earnestly
seeking the way to advancement. Miss McClelland’s devotion
to the teaching profession may well serve.as an ideal to which
State College students should aspire.
ONE! TWO! THREE. NOW SING!
Music is the human safety valve. In almost all of the news
from the front, there is frequently a paragraph or two, dealing
with the attitude of “Sammie,” “Tommy,” “ Jack,” or “ Fritz,”
toward his job. It seems that as long as the soldier can sing,
and thus “let off steam” from overworked nerves, he is happy.
During the siege of Ypres, the brave “Princess Pats” of the
Canadian forces, screwed up their courage, while their numbers
weré being practically annihilated, with strains of “ Tipperary,”
'God'Saye the King,” and other songs from which they gained
an inspiration to dare and do. Music —eyen the common folk-
song—Wecairse it is music, takes the individual above himself,
and brightens his soul, It lubricates the friction between the
gtind’of hash facts and aesthetic aspirations.
Not all of us have opportunity: to face annihilation before the
forces of European autocracy, although occasionally we do face it
before the possiblity of a D, or‘an or an F, on our report
cards. This, added to the uncertaint@®of the morrow, and the
pity, anxiety, and sympathy we feel for those who will soon be
“going over the top,” make us aé students, feel sometimes. that
if the tension isn’t relieved in some way, something within us is
surely going to snap, We need the pleasure that is shared in
fellowship. When we attend expensive parties or the theatre,
we feel that we are enjoying more than our share, . There is one
pleasure which the entire student body may have for the asking,
musi ong.
hose of us who attended the Y. W. C. A, party Friday night,
Dougias leads in singing college songs. We have our College
Song Book, Let ts use it! Why confine our singing: to just
one big “sing” a year? There is a chance for Music Club to
onsnite Prof. Douglas, and perstiade him to arrange more
“sings” — in which all may have a share, By the time that the
askethall season opens, we should be so practiced as to give
the visiting teams and their rooters, a good bit of the best har-
mony ever heard. And it is the very best harmony when State
College students sing! Now that our men are reduced in num-
t will be Harder for us to make ouir voices last thr a whole
evening of yelling. Why not substitue good lively singing for
some of the yells? It will make the yells sound better. Let us
this year make for ourselves a reputation for being the best song-
sters among our rivals, We can have a better chorus than most
‘of the colleges we meet on the court, for ours will be one com-
posed of mixed ‘voices, Students, what say you?

TION Reo u ED IN

“On or before September 1,

tional hours a week in. super-

CONSUMERS’ LEAGUE
CONTEST
The New York State Con-
sumers’ League offers five dol-
lars to the person who writes the
best “Shop Early” jingle, to
be used in the annual State cam-
paign for early shopping.
Jingles from four to eight
lines are most. effective. Em-
phasize the point, “Tf you buy
a X'mas present, buy it early,”
for the public may not shop as
extensively ag usual in war
times. Give your jingle to one
of the officers of our College
Leagite before October rath, and
she will see that it is sent to the
State headquarters.
Here is.a sample:
Buy before the rush comes,
Buy before the crush comes,
Tuy before the slush comes —
Buy your presents. now!
Mr. Wood wishes to acknowl-
edge the very valuable services
rendered by Myskania in the
