Sutliff, Dean of Instruction. Immediately after the SpanishA merican wa r, people of Cuba and Porto Rico became interested in trainin g their children in United Stat es schools , as this country had played an important part in liberalizing Cuba and Porto Rico from Spain. Hundreds of young men and women were sent to the United States at that time. The Normal Schools were not owned by the State, and at Bloomsburg there was not onl y a teacher-training'department but also a college preparatory course, and i t was to this department that the Cuban Consul in New York arranged for their admittance. A few were accepted, and the biggest problem that arose was that of training them in the use of the English-language. Students Of Wealthy Class Most of the Latins were of high school age, and the majority came from wealthy homes. An average of §100 a month spending money was "small change" to them. Mrs. L. S. Schoonover, a t eacher of many year's experience, was employed to head the work of caring for the growing number of these students. At that time they lived in Waller H all , men in the west wing, wome n in the east wing, with Mrs. Schoonover 's apar tments in the center ove r the lobby.

The rare reptile arrived at the Keller home on Turkey Hill on Tuesd ay morning and remain a stranger to everyone in the locality, and according to the owner it will continue to remain a stranger because the local wild animal hobbyist openly admits that he prefers lions. Resembles Small Dinosauer Mr. Keller received the ugly, dinosauer-like animal from Mr. A. W. King, of Brownsviile, Texas. A young animal about thirty wears of age , it measure s six fee t in leng th and stands abou t two fee t fro m the ground . When fully grown it will be about seventeen feet long. It is a grey-green in color and has a white, stripe about three inches wide running over its hind legs and around the long, tapered tall. The head is rather small, but the mouth is large and when open shows the white, knife-like teeth which, it Additional Books To College Library The following is a continuation of the lis t of 140 new books placed in the library.

Barbed points form a saw-like protection, to the reptile's back , running from the back of the head to the tail. The feet are particularly dangerouslooking, having sha rp claws almos t six inches in length. Mr. Keller said the animal really cann ot be described , ei ther on paper or by word of mouth. It's only when you meet the dragpn face to face and feel , the power of its piercing amber eyes and hear the characteristic and weird hissing which it makes when disturbed by civilization that you realize you are becoming acquainted with one of the rarest and meanestlooking wild animal s ever seen. Will Not Eat The dragon absolutely refuses to eat when in captivity. It prefers to s t arve to death, rather than remain under the power of a human being. A letter explaining the dragon instructs Mr. Keller to cram celery and clover down the animal 's throa t once , every two weeks and Mr. Keller humorously stated that he will go the limit in time before attempting the act. .The story, of how the local ar t teacher got the Chinese dragon dates back to the time when the ColeBeatty Circus was playing in Williamsport. At that time Mr. Keller, in talking to Clyde Beatty, the animal train er, he learned of Mr. A. W. King, a Texas man interested in wild animals , and wrote to him concerning many curious animals.. Will Put On Exhibition The result of his writing acquaintance with Mr. King took the form of a Chinese dragon, originally from Indo-China, now living in the lion cage at Mr. Keller 's home. Mr. Keller expec t s t o have the n ew curiosi ty transferred to a cage along the Berwick highway in a day or two. There, those interested in thrills which send chills up and down the spine may see, very mu ch alive , the horny dragon they have seen fo r so long only in literature or in Chinese art.

The new course is designed to offer a com> bination of the old ones, which gave teachers a choice of teaching methods or subject matter but which, in his opinion, left the teacher inadequately equipped to be a teacher of the best type.

NINE RECORDS SHATTERED AS HUSKIES SWEEP ALL SCHEDULED DUAL MEETS New Records Hun g Up In Dashes Hurdle Event s, Broad Jump And Mile Relay Husky' trackm en made the season just completed the best in the history of the school not only by turning in a clean slate in dual competition but toy breaking nine records, one of r which has stood since 1912. Blass Out st anding New records were rung up in the 100 yard dash , the 220, the 440, the 220 yard low hurdles, the 120 yard high hurdles, the 100 yard high hurdles, the shot put, the running broad jump, and the mile relay. Captain Blass, who has been handicapped durin g the final three meet s, was himself responsible for four of the records. The Aristes youth lowered Line's record in the 120 yard low hurdles from 18.2 seconds to 17.2 seconds. In the 100 yard high hurdles he tuined in a time of 14.6 seconds to clip eightt enths of a second f rom his own record time of 15.4 seconds, established in •1934. The 1936 captain 's b est record this year was in the shot put event against Shippensburg, when he heaved the 16-pound sphere a distance of 44 feet, 112 inches. The old record of 39 feet, 111 inches was set up by Rudowski in 1932. The other record broken by Blass this season was in the running broad jump. His leap of 21 feet 10 inches bettered a record of 21 feet IS inches which he himself made last year. New Dash Records All the other new records this season were established by freshmen, led by Harry Van Gordon, of Kingst on, who lowered the time in the 100 and 220 yard dashes and in the 220 yard low hurdles. He brought the record for the century dash down to 9.9 seconds in one of the fastest races ever seen around Bloomsburg, while his record-setting time in the 220 yard dash was 22.1 seconds, clipping almost a second from Dolison 's time in 1912. The Kingston flash also lowered the record for the 220 yard low hurdles. He ran the event in 25.7 seconds, contrasted with the former record of 28.2 seconds. One of the strong spots on the whole track and field team this year was the mile relay combination. Made up of four fast-stepping froshmen, Zalesky, Mulhern, Van Devender, and Van Gordon, the Husky mile team raced the four-part distance in the fast time of 3 minutes, 28.2 seconds, better by seconds than the winning time in most of the college and university runs at the Penn Relays in Philadelphia. The old time for the race was 3 minutes, 37. 4 seconds, set in 1933 by a team composed of Sell, Jaffln , Larlsh and Kelly.

Eleven Earn Varsit y Recognition In Track NEW PL AN FOR INTR AMUR AL Six Others Given Junior Varsity Letters At Banquet Last SPORTS BEING CONSIDERED Saturday Night Extensive plans for a new system in intramural sports have been drawn up for next year and await approval, Coach George Buchheit announced yesterday. The intramural program grew out of a rapidly increasing interest in inter-class and inter-group sports on the campus. It began two years ago with the formation of inter-class t rack and bask etball leagu es by th e men of the College, under the direction of Coach Buchheit. In developing the new program those in charge are striving to provide intramural sports for every student in the College. The girls have already excited a great amount of interest in sports through a program outlined by Miss Lucy McCammon. Sam Cohen, of Plymouth, had charge of the men 's intramural program during the past year and did much work towards the establishment of a more permanent and regular schedule. He organized tennis tournaments, foul-throwing contests, ping-pong tournaments, basketball tournaments, and handball contests. Eleven men earned varsity awards in t rack this season , Coach George Buchheit announced last week. Six others recei v ed thei r jun ior var sity awards. Those getting varsity letters include Lamar Blass, Samuel Cohen, Thomas Davison, Leon Dixon, Michael Gonshor, Vance Laubach, Edward Mulhern, Robert Savage, Frank Van Devender, Harry Van Gordon, and Stanley Zelesky. Jayvee awards were given to the following, some of whom will have an opportunity to earn their varsity letters next year: Gerald Burke, ¦Chester Harwood, Robert Hopfer, Mervin Mericle, Joseph Ollock (Mgr.elect), and Robert Parker. COMPARES WITH DECATHLON Gilbert Kline, attempted to compare the record set up by Captain Lamar Blasa, with the decathlon record in the United States for this year.

BLASS, VAN GORDON EACH SCORE 74 POINTS TO LEAD HUSKY TRACKMEN RE-ELE CTED CAPTAIN LAMAR BLASS Trackmen were almost unanimous in their selection of Lamar Blass, high-scoring Aristes athlet e, to head the track and field men for t he second successive year. The honor, given to Blass last Saturday and announced during the athletic banquet, is a rare one at Bloomsburg. With the loss of only one varsity performer, that being Sam Cohen, of Plymouth, the 1937 squad should continue their winning streak in dual competition, which they piled up agafnst all their opponents this season.

The Susquehanna Relays, which was schodulod to be held at Susquehanna University last week, was postponed because of a conflict with the annual Middle Atlantic College track and field meet, which was scheduled for the samo day. Both Take 13 Firsts As Team Registers Total 350 1/2 Points Two Bloomsburg runners, Captain Lamar Blass and Harry Van Gordon, rang up records for themselves this season when they each scored a total of 74 points in four dual meets and the state meet. This represents slightly less than 15 points for each meet as an average. The entire Husky team piled up a grand total of 350i counters for the best track and field record in the history of th e sport at Bloomsburg. Freshmen Star Following in succession the fa st pace set by the two leaders are two fre shman stars, Zaleski with. 444 points and VanDevender with 431 points. Davison was next in scoring with 20 counters; Laubach sixth with 16; and Mulhern seventh with " a 142 total. Others and the points they; earned include Gonshor, with 14; Dixon, with 13; Parker , with 112; Burke and Cohen, each with 10; Noland , with 3; and Hopfer and Harwood, each with l r Blass Has 13 Firsts Captain Blass also rang up a new record in point-scoring for two consecutive dual meets, scoring 24 poin ts against both Lock Haven and Shippensburg for a total of 48 points. Were it not for an ankle injury, from which he has still not entirely recovered, the Aristes athlet e probably would have increa sed his grand total by'at least 15 or 20 points. He had thirteen firsts, two seconds, three thirds, and a fourth , in the five meets on schedule. VanGordon received his poin t s in mu ch the same manner, so fa r as placing is concerned. The Kingston frosh also took thirteen firsts, but his other points came from two thirds, a fou rth , and a fifth. Climbs From Bottom To Third On Ladder Minnie Boudman Has Best Record As Girls End Tennis Tourney 'Starting down in twenty-eighth position on the tennis ladder, a contest among girls of the College, Minnie Boudman gradually worked her way up, rung by rung, to finish in third position. This marks the greatest advancement by ifar of anyone on the ladder. The contest ended May 11 with the last matches of the day. The competition was worked out in such a manner as to give the earlysigners a decided advantage because their names were placed in the order in which they signed. A player was permitted to challenge any other player two rungs above her. If she won her name was moved up to replace the name of the girl she defeated. The order of finishing for the first six and the position they occupied when the contest started follow : first , Sara Dersham, who moved up from fifth place; second, Betty Chalfont , who moved down from first} third , Minnie Boudman, who advanc- ' ed from twenty-eighth position ; fourth, Martha Krick, who began in '< ' third place ; ififth , Martha Greenly, V who Btarted in fourth place; and-;,;1 Bixth, Margaret Smith , who advanced , " from eighth position.

Since then Bloomsburg has been on the rebound , intent to finish the season with consecutive victories. St. Thomas and Shippensburg both fell by the wayside in this last winning spurt.

Put On Speed But Are Unable To Overcome A 4-0 Indi ana Lead Going into the fifth match in their meet with the Indiana State Teachers College recquetmen with everything in the western team 's favor on Wednesday the plucky 1936 tennis team of Coach John Koch turned on the heat to pull up to a threatening posi t ion, only to be nosed out in the match by a close 5-4 score. The loss was only the second this season, a record which places the local courtmen well up on top so far as teachers college competition is concerned. The count was tied at four all after Bloomsburg swept the last two singles matches and the first two doubles matches. Cohen and Zalonis, playing the deciding doubles match, look ed like heroes for the Bloomsburg cause for a while, when they easily won the fi rst set, 6-0. But Indiana had the same amount of pluck as the maroon and gold clad players, and they came back to win the next two sets, 6-1, 6-4.

W hile the local team had little trouble running up a big score against the Selinsgrove neighbors on the down-river diamond, Coach Nelson looks for closer competition in tomorrow 's game, the later scores turned in by the Susquehanna team showing they have been gathering strength during the season. Tomorrow 's game will be the last for several Bloomsburg men, several of them leaving the College by way of graduation. Among those who will leave are Litwhiler, M oleski , and R ompalo , all veterans. Coach Nelson's sluggers proved entirely too powerful for their Indiana opponents on Wednesday afternoon and turned in a heavy 15-8 win for their ninth victory in a dozen , starts this season. The Indians set out to match slugging power with the Hu skies in the first fe w innings, and it looked as though the large crowd that turned out for the tilt was going to see a close battle. However , the invaders were unable te keep pace with the local nine, and from the fifth inning on it was just a matter of rolling ud a score.

The defeat meant the snapping of a long winning streak stretching over two seasons and reaching a t ot al of twenty games. So with that game in mind and high ambitions the 1936 sluggers entertained Shippensburg on the local diamond last Saturday afternoon and sent them home with a stinging 19-8 trouncing. . Moleski On Mound Whitey Moleski was on the mound for the first six innings and left the game wth his team on top by 19-3. Al Finder then took up the pitching duties and was touched for five runs in the last three innings. Altogether Bloomsburg hammered out nineteen hits, including two homers and three triples. Danny Litwhiler pounded out the first round-tripper with one man aboard in the opening frame, while his teammate, Rompalo, lifted one (continued on page 7) BASEBALL COACH .600 ,500 .400 .167 .125 .000 .000 .000 PITCHING RECORD Moleski W.

Nine Wins, Three Losses While the 1936 season was not up t o the championship season of last year, Bloomsburg still may boast of one of the best t eams in t eachers college circles, having registered decisive wins over M illersville, Mansfield , Lock Haven , and Shippensburg. They lost close decisions to Shippensburg (first game) and Stroudsburg, and went down in defeat to Kutztown. The second game with Shippensburg took the form of a "grudge" game, the locals out to make amends for an earlier , ten-inning loss to the Cumberland Valley boys, 3-2.

The total ratings indicate a jump from a third class paper with a "fair " standing to a first class paper with an "excellent" standing. Scores 715 Points In a contest sponsored by the Associated Collegiate Press this year the Bloomsburg paper, rat ed with 295 • other college and university papers, received a t ot al of 715 poin t s out of a possible 1000 and was accordingly given a first class honor rating, which is marked "ex cellen t" on the score sheet. Copies of another recent volu me of the M aroon and Gold , scored af t er the con t est was over, received 453 poin t s, which was below the honor ra tings and list ed as four th i class. Another volume, just before the one ra t ed fo u r th class, received oven, less poin ts than 453, indicating that the paper is gradually gaining better form. The score sheet recently received from the Associated Collegiate Press includes, in addition to summary scores and cri t icisms, a good manual of college journalism. News Coverage Excellent In general the news writing and editing were considered very good, the chief criticisms being against the "over-writing" of feature material and the over-developing of certain news stories. The news coverage was rated as ex cellen t, though the judges stressed the importance of adding more news fro m the alum ni of the school. Headlines counted against the paper more than any other feature. The headlines of th e M aroon an d Gold ar e too general and in some cases weak, except on the sports page. Judges advised th at the heads be m ade m ore sp ecific , playing up real news. The College paper did well on the departmental pages, such as the editorial page and the sports page. The chief criticism for the editorial page concerned the use of captions or labels where stronger headlines are preferred . The sports section was rated "excellent" for the second time this year and earned almost a perfect .score in the rating. rnnung renew A perfect score of 20 points was made for the printing work. The Associated Collegiate Press, in its manual, stresses the importance to a paper of good printing, claiming that the printing in itself may make or break a paper. Judges consider such things as margins, eveness of inking, work-ups, and proportion when scoring for printing. 1 * • A. * Y"*-.—*_. -i. SENORS DROP PLANS FOR ANNUAL CLASS NIT E PRO D.
