and the actual construction work is I
to be started February 14, according]
to an announcement received at the |
College office from Clarence E. Ack­
ley, Director of Administration and
Finance at Harrisburg.
With this announcement, the 750,000 dollar building program is defin­
itely approaching full realization at
Edinboro.
Reliable reports indicate that the
new Auditorium, the Gymnasium, the
Laboratory School and the power
plant will all be started at the same
time.
All work on these buildings is to
be done on contract with private con­
struction companies which assures
that a minimum of time will elapse
between the start of the work and
its completion.
Besides the new construction, plans
are al.o being made to entirely re­
model some of Edinboro’s present
buildings and to reorganize the en­
tire campus. Some buildings will be
put to new uses and roads and walks
on the Campus are to be relocated
for added beauty and convenience.

CONSTANT INQUIRIES COME
According to an announcement by
Dean of Instruction Wheatley, stud­
ent enrollment for the second sem­
ester is very promising.
Hardly a day goes by without one
or more inquires by prospective stud­
ents concerning enrollment for the
second semester which begins on Jan­
uary 18.
With a distinct shortage of teach­
ers in the several fields and an im­
proved demand for instructors in all
fields of teaching, Mr. Wheatley also
reports that requests for Edinboro
graduates continue to come to his
office. In many cases he is unable
to find teachers to fill the positions.

Its Financial Support
For All-College Dance
STUDENTS, FACULTY AID

Following the traditional custom at
Edinboro, an All-College Dance will
be held in the Dining Hall after the
annual Christmas dinner on Monday,
December 20.
However, this year the dance which
is sponsored and partially supported
by the Student Council, will be offer­
ed on a new plan, and for the first
time students and faculty will sup­
port the dance by free contributions.
The Student Council is making an
especial effort to reach all off-campus
students in order to insure wide particpation by the entire student body
and make this dance the best dance
of the winter season.
Dancing will be from 9:00 to 12:00
p. m. Efforts are being made to con­
tact Johnny Himebaugh and his or­
chestra to supply the music.
The Committee General Chairman
is M ss Jeanne Strohecker and the
entire Student Council is acting as
Committee-in-Charge.

football post-mortems:

Team living up most to pre-season
expectations: Pitt.
Most consistent offense: Pitt.
Best defensive team: Ohio State
or Fordham.
Trickiest play: Vanderbilt’s button-button-who Is got-the-button-play
which beat Louisiana State, 7-6. In
this play the quarterback took the
pass from center, placed it quickly on
the ground behind a guard’s leg and
ran toward the sidelines on a nice
fake.
Meanwhile tackle Ricketson
stumbled, fell on the ball until the
State men were chasing the faking
quarterback, and then picked it up
and ran down the other sideline for
a touchdown.
Best individual effort:
