Orchestra rehearsals In this con are held as occasion arises. nection the inauguration of the Michigan State Union orchestra is an event of note. The Union encountered trouble in having its needs supplied by the student orchestras which are annually organized on the Cam pus and launched its new undertaking for the purpose of making a permanent organ ization which could be carried over from year to year insuring the proper quality of music and continuous employment for many of the student musicians. An attempt was the made early to organize the year various groups so they could supply the need but this was proved unsatisfactory because of a variety of conflicting factors. U n d er the new arrangement the Union will have several orchestras and organizations wishing the services of a group of any size will have a chance to "obtain them through the a central booking office established at It is hoped that this means, which Union. in Page 108 The M. S. C. Record was authorized by the board of directors of the Union in the spring of this year, will solve the problem. In supplying employment for students the Union has already developed a service which will be extended as opportunity arises. Figures are being kept on the ex tent of this work and at the close of the year a complete report will be made cover ing the number of jobs assigned and the amount of money earned by the applicants through this service.

There should be permanent floors in the concourse and cafeteria, permanent wainscot in both places and permanent wainscot on the sec ond floor. All of these items are compara tively costly but represent the final cost in all cases for there is but little depreciation in any case. T he matter of interior trim is another case where cash would add greatly to the appearance of the building. None of the permanent oak trim has been installed except in the cases of doors or openings of that sort. This leaves the windows bare and detracts from the atmosphere of the building. Of course there are minor items of equipment such as furniture for many of the rooms and desks and chairs for the concourse which must come in the course of time. T he effort put forth the past year has been to get the building to the point wrhere it could be used and in that endeavor there has been general success. In order that the building may reach its greatest use fulness it must have further equipment and that is stilj a matter for general effort. Notre Dame, last year's champions, de feated 2J to o by West Point are fighting like tigers because they have morale. Dis cussion in T HE RECORD and at M. S. C. is destroying both esprit-de-corps and morale. Prof. Jones of U. of Mich, and H a r v a r d, in analyzing military organization to learn why it wraxes strong under the hammering and smashing of battle when most organi zation would go to pieces, concludes in sub stance, it is because an army has a founda tion of discipline (training in instinctively correct action) as a positive degree, esprit- (pride and confidence in them de-corps selves) the comparative degree and, wrhen that army wins victory, morale as a temporary and fleeting, almost superhuman superlative degree. Many military men say morale is 9 0% of everything. T he Serbian army, driven completely out of their own under- country, under-paid, clothed and under-equipped, smashed the center of the middle-European alliance in Sept. 1918. They had morale. under-fed, as that have O ur team has esprit-de-corps, as shown by their uphill fight against Penn State last far more Saturday.

There is no reason why one team should seek to take an unfair ad vantage over another, unless it is willing to sell its heritage for much less than a "mess of pottage". Victory is to be desired and a goal to seek with the maximum of ef fort but direct violations of the rules with that end in view will never be condoned where amateur competition is looked upon as the standard for intercollegiate athletics. On October 24, the varsity visited Penn State, the first time in eleven years that it has been the guest of the easterners and un less there is assurance of a different atti tude it should be the last. Taking advan tage of technicalities is too lowr for a college eleven to stoop but an evident attempt to place obstacles in the way of a good show ing by the visiting team is beyond the ken of those who look upon football as training for manhood and citizenship. College ath letics will prevail upon their present pin nacle so long as sportsmanship is their guid ing m o t t o; as soon as that is lost sight of by many of the colleges the structure erected during the past quarter century will fall. to the usage thought which prompted There is a certain amount of magic in the word "Homecoming" which gives it an has appeal.

E. Tyron, celebrated half back and leading scorer in eastern football for two years as well as leader in collegiate circles for one year, added but two points to his total and remarked after the contest that the Green and White team had the best defensive players he has ever competed against. Penalties aided the visitors to both touchdowns but forward passes were the main factors in counting the scores.

Col first gate had much of downs but only on exceptional occasions could the visitors make their downs when they reached State territory. Near the close of the first half the center of the Green line was losing ground before the rush of the victors but braced in the second half and held its own in good style.

Record Page 115 ALUMNI LUNCHEON AT STATE COLLEGE Nearly fifty alumni and former students had lunch together at St. Paul's Methodist church at State College, Pa., on October 24. They had been brought together for the occasion on the initiative of Paul Thayer, '00, a member of the staff of Penn State, and Peter R. Taylor, '15, director of mar kets for Pennsylvania with headquarters at Harrisburg. The guests of the day were President Butterfield and Dean Watts of Penn State. There were representatives present from the various sections of the east. President Butterfield's address was a discussion of the mission of the College and a brief re view of its recent achievements. He also urged full support for alumni work and for the M. S. ,C. Association and T HE RECORD. The alumni secretary spoke very briefly urg ing attention to the proposed change in the publication schedule of T HE RECORD and that the Union Memorial building be made the object of visits by all when they had a chance to return to the Campus.
