A Scottish musical comedy , "The
Cotter 's Saturday Night," was given
Friday night, January 14, by a Musical Comedy Company under the exclusive • management of the White
Entertainment Bureau of Boston and
New York.
Gilbert Burns gives the following
distinct account of the origin of this
poem :—
"Robert had frequently remarked
to me that he thought there was something peculiar venerable In the
phrase , 'Let us worship God !' used by
a decent, sober head of a family , introducing family worship. To this
sentiment of the author, the world is
indebted for 'The Cotter 's Saturday
Night.' When Robert had not some
pleasure in view in which I was not
thought fit to participate, we used to
frequently walk together, when the
weather was favorable, on the Sunday af ternoons, those precious
breathing times to the laboring part
of the community—and enj oyed such
Sundays as would make one regret
to see their number abridged.
'It was in one of these walks that
I first had the pleasure of hearing ,
the author repeat 'The Cotter 's Saturday Night.' I do not r ecollect t o
have read or heard any thing by which
I was more highly electrified. The
Co t ter in th e 'Sat urday Ni ght' is an
exact copy of my father in his manners , his family devotion , and exhortations; yet the other parts of the
description do not apply to our family. None of us were 'a t service out
among the farmers roun '.' Instead
of our depositing our self won penny fee with our parents, my father
labored hard and lived with the most
rigid economy, that he migh t be able
to keep his children at home, thereby
having an opportunity of watching
the progress of our young minds and
the forming in them early habits of
piety and virtue , and from this motive alone did he engage in farming,
t h e so ur ce of all his difficul t i es an d
distresses."
It seemed to be an old custom of
Sco t l a nd for t h e child r e n to ret urn
home on a Saturday nigh t and spend
the evening with the old folks. The
sketch is without a doubt a picture
of the author 's own homo or that of
his father 's.
The play as was presented to us
was given very delightfully an.I was
enjoyed, without a doubt , by every
one who attended. The singin ? was
excellent in its individual quality and
when blended in the old Scottish ballads held the complete attention of
tho audience.

JAMIE'S ROOMMATE
It was quarter past ten by the old
scho ol clock ,
As Ryan started up from the town.
What is that thing, that he has on a
string?
Why it's only a poor lonesome hound.
He quickened his stride as he drew
near t he dorm
And seemed for a moment to stop.
All of the boys are asleep in their
beds ,
No t a sign of Bill Trump, the cop.
He ascended the stairs as I lay awake
And seemed to be all out of breath.
He turned to his pal and said with a
laugh ,
"The boys will be tickled to death. "
He reached the top floor and I heard
him exclaim ,
"This is your boarding house, Smoke,
I hope tome fellow is out of his room
And I'll spring a wonderful j oke."
A vacant room he found before long
And turned to his pal and said,
"I don 't see signs of the owner
around—
I'll tuck you in Jamie 's bed. "
Th e dog cuddled up and soon went
to sleep
A picture of perfect content.
It was the coziest spot he ever had
had

In all the days he had spent.
It wasn't long- till a noise was heard
As Jamie approached his room.
He opened the door with a smile on
his f ace,
But almost fell into a swoon.
The dog became cross at being dist urbed
And sprang for Jamie 's pants.
Jamie was so frightened that
He did the Black Bottom dance.
The

dog barked, Jamie yelled,
"Help, "
The boys awoke with a start.
And it took nearly all of the dorm
Now Jamie and the dog are the best
To pull the couple apart.
of p als
And are seen together of late
And Jamie tells every one that he
meets
About his wonderful new roommate.
Now all of the boys up in North Hall
Sure had a wonderful time,
While Jamie and the dog are laughing it off
And planning revenge on Ryan.

A week ago a Washington newspap er announced that the SwingJohnson bill had been reported favorable by the Agricultural Committee
of the House. What is the SwingJohnson Bill? It is a proposal to use
some of the surplus in tne treasury
to build a dam to keep back the waters of the Colorado River from flooding Imperial Valley, California. The
United States would then establish a
plant to generate electricity to supply Los Angeles and other cities. The
government would thus embark into
a public utility enterprise.
Pliny Jewell, President of the Inyentment Bankers' Association , declared that the savings of the people
will be placed in j eopardy if the government enters the industrial field.
He looks upon the dam propect as being the most gigantic scheme for inaugura ting government ownership
ever suggested in this country. It
is a plan of those inbued with socialistic theories. Its advocates paint
visions of cheap power and light. The
reclamation service added another argument why the dam should be built.
Why not use the waters of the dam
to make fertile the expansion of
desert land in the southwest? Why
not transform this barren waste into
fertile farm land?
But , after electricity is generated ,
Mr. Jewell asks if there will be a
market for those 3,600 ,000 . 000 kilowatts of power. Los Angeles, the
nearest large city to the site of the
proposed dam, is supplied by a municipally owned plan t. Municipal and
federal public utility services would
then conflict. Mr. Jewell also asks
why we should have government ownership when private initiative has
done so well.
Mr. Jewell may be viewing this
project from a personal angle. His
association has been responsible for
selling billions of dollars of stocks in
the utility industi'y to American savers. This money would be imperiled
by govern ment engagement in busi ness. Thus his business would be
ruin ed. The question is, W ould t he
proj ect benefit the countoy to an extent great enough to warrant carrying it out?

POOR OLD GYMNASIUM

This bureau was created especially to settle private claims between the
United States and Mexican Governments. In trying to settle the oil
cases through diplomacy this piece of
conciliation machinery was temporarily forgotten.
The treaty between Mexico and the
United States, effective 1924, st ates
in Article IX that "th e General
Claims Commission may decide that
international law, justice and equity
require that a property or right be restored to the claimant in addition to
the amount awarded in any such case
for all loss or damage sustained prior
to the restitution. "
American losers in Mexico have
nearly seven months with which to
file claims " with the Genera l Claims
Commission.

A recent dispatch from Washington stating that the Interstate Commerce Commission will require ext ensive al t erations in railroad lines
in anthracite to a large number of
New England points, is of particular
interest in this region. The anthracite carriers have been favoring the
seasport points in New England because of competition with other fuel,
but the inland cities have been clamoring for similar concessions and that .
is to be the subjec t of investigation.
This movement makes it doubly advisable to have Pennsylvania represented on the In t ersta t e Commerce
Commission. They have 'competitive

The three best plays produced by
the Bloomsburg Players this semester,
have been selected and will be given
on the evening of February 17th for
the benefit of the public and student
body. At that time judges will select the best productions.
At present it is necessary to endeavor to give two plays each meeting in order to get in all plays before the end of the semester. A very
interesting play was witnessed by the
Dramatic Club and friends last
Thursday evening. The title of the
play was "Hyacin th Halvey, " written by Lady Gregory.
The scene was a street in a small
village. The villagers including Mr.
Quirke, the butcher; Mrs. Delane, the
Postmistress; Hardy, the errand boy.
Miss Joyce and Sargeant Carden
were awaiting the arrival of a notable character, Hyacinth Halvey.
To them he represented all that was
great and mighty. He was the embodiment of their ideals. On his arrival he was treated with great reverence and respect. But Hyacinth Halver knew that in his innermost self
he was of questionable character.
Due to the pricking of his consciene
he tried to commit himself by stealing. However, this only served to
elevate him as these people were of

The various school organizations
that desire to have their group pictures placed in the Obiter are requested for the last time to make arrangements with Mr. Phillips, the
local photographer, and have their
pictures taken. These pictures must
be handed in to any member of the
Obiter Staff before February 1. Group
pictures will positively not be accepted after the above date.
The various groups are also requested to prepare group write-ups
for their respective groups and to select about two lines of poetry which
they think will be suitable for their
picture. These also must be handed
in before February 1, or the staff
will take for granted that no poetry
or write-up is to appear in the Year
Book with the group picture. The
cost for the proof , the cut and page
space for group pictures it $15.-00
and should be paid to George Mathews, Peg Healy, Helen Hess or Lysod Reese after the picture is taken
and handed to the staff.
Juniors, Seniors and Faculty who
desire to have snap shots placed in
the Year Book are asked to hand
them to the staff any time this month.
Persons handing in snaps should
write their names on the backs so
that they may be returned to their
owners as soon as cuts are made.
There is no cost to owners of snap^
who have been placed in the Year

BOYS LEAD IN GYM
Coach Booth has installed in his
Physical Education classes a method
of teaching which is very helpful to
the students. Each day one or more
m emb ers of t he class is called on t o
lead the group in marching. Along
with this practice each student has
one period assigned during which he
must lead the group in a game.
This type of work has displayed
some excellent material along these
lines which otherwise would be practically unheard of. As a whole, the
boys are doing remarkably well.
This type of work is very valuable
in that the boys are getting the actual
practice which is much more beneficial to them than the theory. Evidentl y the Coach believes that we
learn to do by doing. Coach Booth
is setting an example for other members of the faculty to follow. Theory
is beneficial to the students but it is
more beneficial when the pupils are
allowed to put the learned theory into
practice.

ECHO FROM NORTH HALL
Many Things Neglected in Past Could
Now be Amended.
As we approach a new year, it has
long been the custom to make many
resolutions. Most of these determinations or resolutions are for our own
prosperity or happiness.
The same principle should be carried out in a college like our own, especially in a state institution , and we
should try to correct some of the conditions tha t now prevail here. Improvement on these conditions is an
aid to the general welfare of the students.
Many things that have been neglected in the past, could now be
amended. The most predominate
condi tion now prevailing, at least in
the eyes of the boys of North Hall, is
the failure of a certain door to
function properly.. This door leads
from Long Hall, by the Gymnasium ,'
to the Campus, and can not be opened from the outside.
As the boys go down across our
beautiful Campus to the Gymnasium,
to their classes or other student activities in Long Hall, they must come
to an abrupt stop. The reason for
this delay is the failure on the part
of the aforesaid door to open. This
entrance has conflicted with many of
the boy 's schedules , in that it often
prevents their appearing in class at
the required time. About the only
thing one can do is make use of the
o t her door , and it is rather inconvenient to retrace one 's steps and use
the lower entrance.
It is a common sight to encounter
a student who is struggling and pulling at the door in order to gain entrance, but all to no avail. Or again,
a student may be seen using the side
window as a means of admittance.
This looks rather out of place and, a
stranger witnessing this, would get
the impression that we are being
taught house-breaking rather than
pedagogy.
T his ent rance has been in such a

co n di t io n for so m e t ime , but due to
the extensive repairs in the various
buildings, it was taken for granted
that it would be put in proper working order. Now the repairs in that
part of the school have been completed, but , alas ! t he door is still in t he
same state of affairs.
We , the boys of North Hall , do
not mean to be trouble-makers or
professional fault-finders, but we certainly would appreciate it very much
if this condi tion were remedied.

ELFRED JONES APPOINTED
ASSISTANT COACH
"Vid' s" Value as a Coach Has Been

Display in Last Few Games.

"Vid" Jones, who so ably assisted
in coaching the foot ball team has
been recently appointed as assistant
coach in basket ball. Vid's value as
a coach has been displayed in the last
few games which the Junior Varsity
has played. "Vid" has been acting
a& coach of the Junior Varsity while
Coach Booth ably directs the affairs
of the Varsity.
Twice a week the Varsity lines up
against the Scrubs and a tough battle ensues.
Vid showed his calibre when the
Junior Varsity played Coal Township
last Saturday. A real test was on
hand but by clever interchanging of
the players by Vid our team emerged
victorious over a well balanced , well
coached team.
We are very fortunate in having
the services of Vid because his ability as Assistant Coach in football accounted for many of our victories. In
f ootball Vid took charge of the line,
while Coach Boo t h direc t ed t he entir e
squad. The line was very strong on
defense and especially equipped on
offense.
Along with the announcement of
the appointment of Vid , came the announ cement of the appointment of
George Mathews as manager of basketball. With "Ex " taking hold of
the managerial end , w e fe el saf e
in saying that our team has excellent
backing.
