Pour addresses on educational reorganization that would have made any educational congress memorable, departmental meetings in a dozen fields, a total attendance which came close to the thousand mark: these were among the features of the P.

Pike, of the Danville s t a t e hospital; and Dr. Samuel Schmucker, of West Chester Teacher's College, were the speakers at the general sessions. (continued on Page 5) Normal Times a Weekly Paper The Normal Times will be published weekly beginning w i t h t h i s issue instead of twice a month as has been t'he custom heretofore. Tills change will practically do away with stale news, the chief criticism of tlie paper previously. The news and events ot the week will have been written up and put into form to go to the publishers on the first of the next week; and the paper, will, in all liklihood, be back and ready for circulation t'he Saturday following. The weekly i ublication will also malfe it p(jRsible to have in it more advanced writeups—events that are going to happen instead ot those t h a t have happened. Previously it bas been almost impossible to get a lineup on the advance news due to the fact that it was necessary to get it so far ahead that nothing deflnite was known concerning it. The Staff feels that there wtU be an increase in the subscription list. They are hoping that these new features of the paper will meet with such approval of t h e student body, faculty and alnnini that they will feel compensated in paying a dollar for a yearly subscription tn their own school paper. College NUMBER 1 1927 There are grey-haired men a n d women who cannot speak to this day, without lowering their voices, of the wondertul night when they heard Ole Bull play or Patti sing. Such an experience comes but once in most lifetimes. Just such an experience Is coming to Teachers College. Josef Hofmann, the Josef Hofmann,is coming to our auditorium! A few years back there were two "greatest" pianists before the public: Paderewski and Hofman. The politics of Poland has claimed Paderewski; now there is only Hofmann. The genius of the piano, and with him a renowned Russian violinist', Mme. I^ea Luboshutz. Josef Hofmann and Lea Luboshutz, on October 28, An unforgetable night for Central State! County Teachers Visit S. T. C. Faculty Returns Intact T h e Clinton County Institute, meeting here in October 3-6, and continuing for the rest of the week in conjunction with the P. S. E. A. meeting, brought nearly 200 teachers to Central State, the majority of them alumni of this school. The program was satisfactory from stem to stern; Superintendent Brosius was receiving well-merited compliments from all quarters on his planning. Dr. S. C. Schmucker, of W e s t Chester, gave six addresses on nature study, some ot which are reviewed in another columns Dr. J'. Freeman Guy, superintendent of the Belleview schools, created unusual interest in his talks on mathematics, reading, the project method, etc. He was kept busy after his lectures answering the questions of those whose curiosity he had stirred. Every teacher on this year's faculty has had his initiation in the ways of this school. Not a single teacher is new to Lock Haven. That is a rare record, one that may never occur again. Miss Mabel E. Noel, M. A., who has replaced Miss Merrells in the work in psychology, is the newest member ot the faculty. The returning seniors are just making her acquaintance. She has been on t h e campus, however, since the opening of the summer session. Miss Noel holds her graduate and post-graduate degrees from the University of Chicago, lived in Buffalo, Minnesota, and comes to us from the Minot, South Dakota, teachers college. Prof. Carroll All has returned to the music department after a year's leave of absence, which he spent In advanced courses in music at New York University. Miss Irene Robinson, who graduated last year from Simmons College, is Misa Macdonald's assistant in the library, and Is the only September arrival on the faculty. She will, however, do no teaching. Dr. Armstrong is reported as being very well pleased at the remarkaole faculty situation. An unchanged faculty tested in service here means to him a stability In the Instruction, a continuance of high quality teaching, a quick buckling down to hard ard good work in all departments of the scliool. Dr. Robert C. Shaw, deputy state superintendent, always a g e n i a l speaker whose advice is full of horse sense; Miss Erna Grassmuck in talks on the teaching of her special interest, geography; Mr. Jonas E, Wagner, of the teacher bureau at Harrisburg; Miss Phillips, Miss Lesher, Miss Whitwell, Miss Ammon, a n d Prof. Sullivan of onr faculty, in talks on reading, primary arithmetic, and social studies; completed the group o'' instructors. The two entertainment numbers w e r e excellent.

Under the name of the Student Government Association many new tilings are to be tried, which are expected to meet with the approval of all the students. Since this is now a college, every effort has been made to have the rules of a college. The new constitution will cover a four-year systtem instead of the pre.vious two years. There will be no Student Council under this new arrangement, but lather two distinct bodies: the Executive committee and tho House committee. The House committee will control all house rules and regulations and will have the authority to punish those who depart from the "straight and narrow way." The committee on revision is trying to obtain one night a week in which students will be allowed to use lights after ten o'clock. This, with other things of similar nature, will meet with great approval it they become part ot the new constitution. Everyone is looking forward fo the time when this new government will be put into effect. Here's to Us success! A nother Great A rtist's Course Lock Haven is in tor another great musical year.

C, West Virginia, to do so. The score of 39-0 indicates fairly enough the extent to which the locals were outclassed, but falls to do credit to the hard battle they put up against the much heavier and better opponents. Outweighed fifteen poun-l« to the man, and facing a squad wnich unquestionably knew m o r e football, the locals battled to the finish, battled to the point of complete exhaustion. Coach Dyck feels that they stacked up against the best team Lock Haven has met in recent history. He Is not at all pessimistic, rather the opposite. With time to put additional finishing touches on what he now knows to be a fighting team, he looks for results against the balance of the schedule. Lock Haven was penalized but twice, both times for being offside. West Liberty earned an assortment of penalties, fifteen in number, totaling 150 yards. Sixteen first downs indicates the strength ot West Liberty's offensive ("The best football team I ever played against," said 'Deacon' Burd), while Lock Haven had the ball so seldom that a single first down was the sole result. Dick Parsons acted as captain, and played a whale ot a game, despite a broken finger received in the first quarter. Bohn, Waterbury, Schofleld, a n d Burd also proved their worth, the latter playing most of the game with a wrenched kaee, which Is keeping him out of signal practice this week and may keep him out of the lineup againt Indiana. Mutchler, in the first game ot football in his young life, fought like a veteran. He needs only seasoning in the game to make a flrstclass man on any team. This Saturday the team is playing against Indiana, over at Indiana. We owe Indiana a heavy debt of Ingratitude: they have beaten us for the past two years, each time by the lopsided score of 69-0. When the results of that game are in, the school will know how to compare this year's varsity with Its predecessors. Next Saturday comes the flrst home game, against the heavy St. Francis College team from Loretto, St. Francis last week beat Westminster College 3-0, and should he good enough to take us into camp.
