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.

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."

This gathering for the organization

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

With powdered brown and gold, is lusty
For a constant sun; a tufted copse in miniature.
It drinks a warm flood, quite secure.

The river steals, to rush upon the ground

And then three pipings of new ecstacy

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.

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.

Those students who heard Patrick

eagerly anticipate his return to Lock

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."

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.
