DAY EDITOR�THIS ISSUE�WARREN BRADY

A Step Forward We hail with approbation the news that a proposal yhich would

permit the state colleges of California to grant general secondary credentials will be in the hands of the State Legislature in January.

This proposal, if passed, will mark a definite step forward in the progress *of San Jose State college. We, as students, believe the proposal is an excellent one�our opinion is this: since teacher train-ing is a primary function of this college, why shouldn’t the general secondary credential be obtainable here? The advantages of obtain-ing the fifth year necessary for this credential here, without trans-fer to a university, are so important that they should not be pass 2:1 over lightly. � However, first of all, we believe that a little light should be shed on the term "general secondary credential" for the benefit of those who are a trifle hazy on the subject. Possessors of general secondary credentials are authorized to teach in any level of junior high school, senior high school, or junior college. At present, students who have made the teaching profession their objective, and’ wish to teach in these higher institutions, are required to. take a fifth year at a uni-versity.

At this time, San Jose State college is permitted to grant only the special secondary credential in nine specific fields; this, in addition to the general elementary credential given to those who desire to teach in elementary school levels, and the kindergarten -primary credential. The proposed change would make it possible to take that fifth year here required for the general secondary credential.

STATE HOOPSTERS FACE ALAMEDA AIR TEAM IN CONTEST NEXT THURSDAY

By WARREN BRADY

improvement. Coach Bill Hubbard has been holding inter-squad scrimmages for the past several nights, and the men are really getting a "workout," as I’m sure they will testify.

Spartan hoopsters face their first opponent Thursday of next

week when they meet the Alameda Air Station. As yet little is known of the Flyers, but in recent years they have had strong ball chit* with such notables as Jim Pol-lard, ex - Stanford university player, and Bruce Hale, former Santa Clara U. star.

A combination of Holmes and Marcipian at guards, McCaslin at center, and Maggitti and either Melhoff or Arredondo at the for-ward posts have been working together the past week, and as Coach Hubbard states, "They are definitely coming along."

One night Ted Holmes, ex-Palo Altoan will be "hot", and with his push and pivot shots, will be practically unstoppable. The next night Ed Maggitti, for-mer San Jose High star and Alt-PAL forward, will be "hitting" them from all angles with his one hand set shots. If these boys ever hit their stride together, which, incidentally, Is far from Improbable, State will have a defi-nite offensive punch, and will be hard to stop.

Coach Hubbard has announced the schedule as it stands up until the Christmas ’holidays. It is as follows: November 16, Alameda Air Station, here; November 21, Hamilton Field. here; November
