The annual convention of the Central Convention District of the Pennsylvania State Educational Association will be held at our college October 2 and 3 in conjunction with the
Clinton County Institute which will
take place September 30 and October
1 and 2. The theme of the convention
this year will be "Improvement in Instruction." The program contains the
names of some prominent leaders of
educational thought, among whom are
Dr. H. C. Minnich, Dr. Milo B. Hillegas, and Dr. Paul Voelker.
Dr. H. C. Minnich, President of
Miami University, Oxford, Ohio, visited our college last year as inspector
for the American Association of Colleges. He made the final inspection
at that time, giving the college an A
rating.
Dr. Hillegas, of Columbia University, is well known for his work in the
Measurement of Education in the
field of English. A large number OJ
the faculty members of S. T. C. have
had courses under him.
Dr. Rockwell, of Bucknell University, has given extension lectures in
the city of Lock Haven and consequently is well known here.
It will be of special interest to
those who are connected with the col
lege to note that several members
of the college faculty are also listed
on the program: Miss Himes, Miss
Daniel, Miss Whitwell, Miss Larabee,
and Mr. Gage.

W. A. A. Sponsors Tom
Thumb Golf Expedition
On Tuesday afternoon, September
sixteenth, about seventy girls hiked
down to the Greystone filling rtatior
on East Water Street to play "Tom
Thumb" golf. The outing was sponsored by the Women's Athletic Association but was not confined to
members only. After they arrived at
the grounds the girls were divided
into groups of four and the playing
followed. The loving cup was presented to Helen Hartman, who finished with a score of sixty-three. Second prize was awarded to Relda
Haagen while the third prize went to
Alma Probst. Elizabeth Cox, Barbara Beckwith and Eleanor Forshey
were given consolation prizes. Refreshments were served and the seventy enthusiasts departed for State
Teachers College.

MORGAN'S RAIDERS
DOWN TO HARD WORK
(ContiniK'd from paK't' 1)
Snare and Bloom are in the van for
the guard positions, while a pretty
battle is being waged between Robb,
Hank Smith, Biddle and Renolds for
the center berth. There are a number
of candidates who will undoubtedly
be heard from later who to date have
been handicapped by injuries. McCall,
a letterman from the 1929 varsity,
has been troubled with a bad ankle
received during the baseball season.
Cooke, a Portage product with the
reputation for being an able field general, has been another victim of the
bad ankle complex.
The squad as a whole is much bettor organized than in previous years
and as a consequence more progress
has been made with individual instruction. Coaches Griffin and Fredericks have been assisting Coach Morigan, and their conscientious effort is
surely appreciated by the school.
Whitey Lawrence has been added
to the staff in the capacity of trainer
for the boys and is proving himself a
very able assistant.
Through the cooperation of the admiristration new uniforms have been
urehased and the 1930 squad will

state.

scheduled for Nov. 22nd, and that
game will close what is hoped to be
one of the best seasons the college has
had.
The first game of the season will
be on the home gridiron on October
4th, with the Susquehanna J. V.'s as
opponents.

Former President of College
A Recent Campus Visitor
Mr. James Elder, a former president of our college in the days when
it was known as Central State Normal School, was a visitor on the campus on Wednesday, September 17.
Mr. Elder was the third president of
C. S. N. S., holding that office from
1887 to 1900. He was here in that
capacity at the time of the fire which
destroyed the old Normal School
liuilding.
Mr. Elder taught for a time in Millersville S. T. C. and now, at the age
of eighty-eight, he has retired and is
living in Millersville.
With Mr. Elder when he visited the
campus last week were several other
alumni, including Robert M. Elder
'93; Miss Mary Elder '89; Mrs. Florjce Shoemaker Elder '97; Corwin
p. Elder '92; Harry W. Elder, and
rs. Kate Elder Shower '94.

f. S. E. A. WILL OFFER GREAT
OPPORTUNITY TO STUDENTS
Tho convention of the Pennsyltate Education Association to be
fiield at the Lock Haven State Teachfors College next week, offers to the
j students of the college a rare opportunity to hear some of the people
who are noted leaders in their own
professional field. It is to b.e hoped
that they will attend as many of the
addresses as possible.

Student Opinion
Editor's Note:—
The staff of the College Times
solicits thoughtful contributions
to this column. The articles
printed here are not to be construed as expressions of editorial
opinion.

* **
To the Editor of the
COLLEGE TIMES:
The question of what organization
we will join is one we all must face.
In our college organizations cover
varied flelds of interest. There arc
some whose aim is service to the student body; there are others which are
chiefiy concerned with the cultural
development of their members. The
staff of the college paper, the staff of
the college yearbook, and the orchestra are directly representative of the
first purpose. Although in an indirect
way, but no less obvious one, they
raise the ideals of the college, the literary societies, the science groups,
the art club concentrate upon the intellectual activities of individuals.
It makes little difference, however,
what organizations we join. It is our
attitude toward them which determines whether they will continue to
exist or not. Unfortunately, there are
some students who regard membership in school organizations as an excellent measure of personal popularity. This attitude is welcome neither
in the organization itself nor in this
college. On the other hand there arc
those who plunge into extra-curricular activities to the exclusion of regular work. No one needs to do this. All
limits to the number of organizations
one can join are arbitrary, provided
each student uses care and judgment
not to overtax his native capacity.
The.se false ideals, however, should
not eliminate entirely from college
life a system of school organizations.
Each group has been born of some definite need and it is for each member
to uphold the integrity of the group.
If a student anticipateb emering an
organization he must dedicate his services to the realization of its ideal.
To make a literary society an asset to
the eollege each one must make his
personal influence of value to those
with whom he comes in contact. If
the college paper is to represent our
college each editor must earnestly
contribute his efforts.
Therefore, if we but have a wjrthy
purpose in engaging in extra-curricular activities, joining organizations

have seventeen of them. Received ono
new one today, and will get another
tomorrow. More will be coming when
the mines open up. Also, had my first
discipline case today, when one of
the boys insisted on calling the lady
teacher several names that would be
censored. He came out second best in
the encounter, and the room was
strangely quiet the remainder of the
day, and all recitations were exceptionally good. Hope the effects continue in those channels.
Expect to be at S. T. C. for the
convention.
