THURSDAY, MARCH 26, 1931 5 Cents Per Copy SPRING FESTIVAL TO BE HELD FRIDAY PATRICK MALIN TO ADDRESS STUDENTS Annual Spring Event of Women's Physical Education Department Tends Toward Pageant Form Member of Swarthmore Faculty Invited by Y. M. to Conduct Lectures and Open Forum The annual spring program of the department of physical education for women at the Lock Haven State Teachers College will be presented on Friday evening, March 27th, at 8 o'clock in the college gymnasium. The program this year will tend toward pageant form, evolved as a class project by first and second year students in physical education. Features of the evening include tumbling and diving (seeond year groups) ; a volley ball contest between two all star teams; other competitive activities—two sports which are to be introduced for the first time in this vicinity—with all-star players; folk dances from Denmark and Sweden, Ireland, Scotland, and England, and an oriental dance from India, in which nearly every student participates; a medley of American folk melodies played by the college orchestra and clogged by a group of 150 first year girls; and colorfully costumed dances worked out by the elementary, irteiniediate, and advanced classes in natural dancing. At the end of the program, practically the entire student body will assemble in mass marching, assisted by the college orchestra. Because of the very limited seating capac.ty of the gymnasium, all tickets for the performance should be secured in advance. Tickets may be obtained through any college student, or by communicating directly with Miss Edgerton or Miss Dixon. The charge is 35c for first-row seats, and 25c for general admission. (Continned on p:if;;;e 3) Those students who heard Patrick Murphy Malin two years ago will eagerly anticipate his return to Lock Haven State Teachers College this week end; those students who have been here only a short time have a rare opportunity awaiting them. Arriving here on Friday evening he will I conduct a series of lectures and stu! dent conferences at intervals from \ that time until the beginning of next ' vv'oek. Mr. Malin comes to us under ! the auspices of the Young Men's I Christian Association of this College. The theme of Mr. Malin's lectures is not yet definitely known, but it is re! membered that he is especially ini terested in the Christian and ethical interpretation of economics and will j no doubt present us with many worthwhile ideas on that subject. I Mr. Malin is a man of rich exper. ience. Originally he came from Joplin, Missouri. He graduated from the I University of Pennsylvania in 1924 I with valedictory honors. At this insti! tution he became associated with I Sherman Eddy, a man under whose j auspices a group of students every year travels abroad. Several times Mr. I Malin has been with that group, his i last trip be'ng made to Russia. ReI cently Mr. Malin has interrupted his I work at Columbia University to take I up a temporary position as instructor in economics at Swarthmore College. Mr. Malin expects to take up teaching permanently as soon as he secures his degree. Doctor of Philosophy. Many of Mr. Malin's magazine articles are well-known. While he was at the University of Pennsylvania he was editor of one of the university daily publications. He is now one of the editors of "The World Tomorrow." Dr. Weber Elected President Of County Schoolmen Club At a meeting held Monday evening, March 16, at the Lock Haven Senior High School, Dr. Harry F. Weber, of the college faculty, was elected president of the newly organized Clinton County Schoolmen's Club. At this came meeting Mr. Allen D. Patterson, director of Junior High School education at our college, together with Mr. Kenneth Haines and Mr. John D. Bc;k, was selected as a member of a committee to outline the policy by which the club is to be directed. This gathering for the organization of the club was sponsored by County Superintendent of Schools Guy C. Brosius and City Superintendent Joseph F. Puderbaugh and included twenty-three men, all of whom are engaged in the teaching profession in the schools of the city and county. The club outlined as its objective the (Continued on page 3) Springtime Within this meagre bush A throb of sparrow wings falls lightly, while xar.thic pastels ride the mold.

THURSDAY, MARCH 26, 1931 EDITORIALS Many tin-vcrsities, colleges and normal schools throughout the country have adopted the policy of permitt n g students the last two or three weeks of each semester to attend classes in which they have not yet had the time or opportunity to elect. Some of the pupils attending these classes do so merely because they are interested in the subject taught but by far the larger majority attend for the cole purpose of determining the scope and field of the particular course so that the next semester they will have some means of determining the courses they wish to elect. Such a policy makes it possible for a student who is unfamiliar with a particular course to learn or discover his own reactions toward the subject. As a result of this knowledge he may elect such courses as by experience he has found he will be most benefited by and most interested in. Such a policy tends to eliminate many of the changes in schedules which are made at the end of the first week of the semester; it also tends to raise the calibre of the classes since the students are in classes more to their liking.
