COLLEGE DANCE TENDERED STUDENTS HUGE SUCCESS Th e administration , admitting that it, "Taint no Sin ," delved into public funds Friday evening, January 31, 1930 , and hand ed a dance to their frivolous flock. Outsiders were barred , and admissions were not collected at the door. It gave the merry-makers a glorious feeling of freedom , not to be bother ed by officers of the student government raving about guest cards. Scotch members of the student-body were filled with a still greater feeling of elation when it was discovered there was not a collection of dimes or quarters at the door. The syncopated rhythms were supplied by our old friends , Alexander 's "Old R eliables ," but "Alexanderless," Without their "pepman " they were fluent with their instruments and did not miss a note , while raging through "Tiger Rag." At eight o'clock sharp the fans of jazz began flooding the portals of the gymnasium and swarmed out on the glassily waxed floor. It became a swirling mill of humans , locked together in couples. Boy-friends and girltriends did crazy capers in every section of the flo or , but mostly in not too frequent ed corners. The feature of the evening was those horrible tag dances. The members of the wrestling team have acquired remarkable strength in their bulging shoulders, and pack a w i ck ed wallop in their left arm. They used it to good affect and would cut in on the dancers. The receivers of these gentle taps were occasionally carried from the floor , while his fair partner , contracted a bad case of hysterics. At eleven P. M. the Waller Hall safety valve sounded "Taps" and the "jazzites", retired to their respective dormitories, after slight persuasion by the Social Control Committee. Y. W. C. A. Notes At the regular meeting of Y. W. C. A. on January 15, a very interesting Bible discussion, on the subject "Doing What Jesus Asks Us to Do", was very ably led by Dorothy Schmidt. Jesus, we know forces us to do nothing whatever, but there are certain qualcontinued on page 2 The Observer The Basketball team still looks good. Good work men. The Editor has been looking in "The Billboard" for ideas. Here's hoping he finds some. Who said we couldn't develop a wrestling team? Sloppy weather we are having isn't it? You know when there is no news for this column we can always talk about the weather. i Well, anyway, we got one copy of the Maroon and Gold preserved for a long while. We will feel secure if someone doesn't steal the cornerstone. CORNER STONE LAID AT NEW TRAINING SCHOOL On Friday, January 31, at the chapel exercises the faculty, the student body of the trainin g school and the college, together with a representative group of guests assembled in the auditorium for formal exercises in connection with the laying of the corner stone of the new trainin g school building. Dr. Haas in his remarks stated that it was very fitting that the new building should be a trainin g school. He quoted Dr. Herrick who said , "That which you sow in the public schools you reap in the life of the nation ," remarkin g that Bloomsburg and nearby communities have reaped something from this school. Dr, Haas stated that the space lett in the main buildin g by the remoyal of the trainin g school would be used for class-rooms in the tra ining of commercial teachers. Mr. A. Z. Schoch , president of the board of trustees , sketched the changes in the building equipment of the college since he has been connected with it. He said it was the desire of the board to make this one of the outstanding educational institutions of the state. Mr. Fred W. Diehl , county superintendent of Montour county and member of the board of trustees , expressed his pleasure in the growth of his Alma Mater , and gave a number of facts pertinent to the responsibility Bloomsburg S. T. C. has in training teachers. Dr. David J. Waller , Jr., president emeritus of the college gave the invocation , and Rev. Samuel A. Harker , pastor of the First Presbyterian Church , gave the closing prayer and benediction. The Bible and other objects to be sealed in the corner stone were placed in the corner stone box by Prof. Earl N. Rhoades , director of teacher trainin g.

COLLEGE WINS OVER MANSFIELD Little Troubl e Disposing of Visitors , Score 41-26 Bloomsburg College's veter an bask etb all team got back into the winning column Saturday night with a 41 to 26 victory over Mansfield on the local court. Bloomsburg led fr om the start although the game was more interesting than the score might indicate. The Maroon and Gold club played a nice game but they were inconsistent in their work, being brilliant one minute and only fair in their work the next. Joe Yocabonis, the Mahanoy City boy, however , was good all the time and he came through with 17 points to play a prominent part in the victory of his club , T. W. Booth, coach at the College, is ill and the team Saturday night was in charge of John C. Koch , dean of men. Bloomsburg got away to an 8 to 4 lead in the first period but was able to increase its margin but two points during the second period as the visitors started to get their eye on the basket. The score at the half was 18 to 12. Mansfield remained on about even term s in the third period but dropped far behind when the 1929 champs spurted at the close. M ansfield has a nice combinati on a ga in this year but Bloomsburg showed their superiority all the way. Had the Maroon and Gold been up to the standard they have shown they can attain they would have won by much wider margin. Along with Yocabonis, Gordon Wambaugh , the bi g Columbia boy who plays center, did some nice shooting. The passing of the team was again a feature while the visiting coach paid a tribute to the skill of Frank Golder, a local boy who is playing back guard by declaring he was as fine a guard as he had ever seen. The Bloomsburg varsity did not remain in the full game, their places being taken by the reserves who also gave a good account of themselves for the short time they were on the court. continued on page 3 Waller Hall News Misses Gretchen Culver , Geraldine Culver and Grace Miller spent the week-end here with friends.

Among these are the following: To follow Him. to obey His words, to be forgiving, to lov e one anoth er , to confess Him, and, finally, to serve one another .
