Four Members of the Geograp hy
Club Presented Interesting Program at Chapel on Monday,
April 20,
In an interesting chapel program ,
Monday , April 20 , four members of
the Geographic Society , broug ht t o
the studen t body the latest news concerning the government proj ect in
the Colorado River basin of the
Southwest.
On March 11, Secretary Wilbur of
the United States Department of the
Interior , awarded to a construction
company of California a contract for
the cons truction of the Hoover dam
at a cost of $48 ,890,000. This proj ect has been discussed for several
years under several names ; such as
Boulder Canyon Dam, Black Canyon
Dam and Colorado River Project.
Seven states are naturally interested
in t he work t o be carried on in the
next six years on this stupendous pi'oject, for they have parts within the
basin of the Colorado River. These
st at es are : California , Neveda , Utah,
Wyoming, Col orado , New Mexico
and Arizona.
W oodrow H u m mel , first speaker
for the Geographical Society, told of
three economic uses of the proposed
imp ounded water of the Colorado
River: namely, (1) water supply for
the city of Los Angeles, (2) water
po w er , (3) irrigation. In addition
to the benefits to be derived from the
larger water supply in that dry region , the obj ectivo is prevention of
floods in the irrigated region of the
lower Colorado Basin , especially on
the Yuma project and in the Imperial Valley.
Roland Keelor told of the older
project in the Yuma site. Ho gave a j
description of the surrounding country through the use of slides and
maps. Tho Yuma territory is especially noted for its agricultural wealth ,
developed chiefly through irrigation.
Charles Artman then characterized tho Imporial Valley in relation to
the recent projects in the Southwest.
Through irrigation this valloy has
achieved fame for the raising of
sheep, cantaloupes , sorghum cane,

"Skidding " as presented by the
Junior class last Friday eveningproved to be one of the most delightful plays of the past school year. Under the personal direction of Miss
Alice Johnston , of the college faculty, the players acted as true professionals in every sense of the word.
The college symphony orchestra gave
a number of excellent selections
which were favorably received by the
large audience.
To say that one actor stood out
more than any other member of the
cast would hardly be fair. Each
member of the cast practically lived
the part and the audience felt that
they too were living in Judge Hardy 's
living room in Idaho.
"Din ty " Thomas in the role of
Andy gave a very fine portrayal of
a character that completely won the
audience to him.
Ida Arcus as Myra Hardy Wilcox
was especially good. Laura Shultz
as Mrs. Hardy proved a very efficient
wife for Judge Hardy (Henry Warman) .
Seymour Stere as Grandpa was responsible for considerable laughter.

Bloomsburg State Teachers College officially opened its home debating season Wednesday when the Affirmative team won a 2-1 decision
over the Mansfield debate team.
Alexander Harding, Austin Snyder , Tena Marvin and Edward Glover represented the Negative team
from Mansfield. The question for
deba t e was "Resolved , that the tendency to concentrate retail business
in chain stores is detrimental to the
best interests of the American people. "
In his opening speech , Mr. Hardingoutlined the history of the chain
store movement and pointed out
some of the advantages attributed to
it.
Mr. Alfred Vandling-, of Mifflinville , in a very forceful manner attempted to prove that the principles
of the chain store were unsound.
Mr. Paul J. Baker, of Hazle t on ,
second speaker on the Bloomsburg
t eam , con tinued Mr. Vandling 's discussion bringing in the relationship
of the chain store with the independent retail associations. He presented ma t erial t ha t was t he resul t of a
survey of adver tisements appearing
in the Bloomsburg daily paper. This
point was refuted , however, by Mr.
Austin Snyder who cited an example
of chain stove advertising as evidenced by the Mansfield paper.
M iss Ca t herine H off Sm it h , of
Sunbury, final speaker on the affirmat iv e side , presen ted the social side of
the question. In a very interesting
manner she pointed out the effect of
the chain store on the living conditions of the people.
Miss Thelma Knauss, of Nazareth ,
presented the rebuttal for the affirmative and presented some very convincing points to tear down the argument as built up by the opposing
team.
The team this year is coachod by
Professor Roams of the college faculty.
Tonight at 8:00 o 'clock the negative team , composed of Lois DoMott ,
Grace Callender and Carl Riggs will
debate with tho team from Clarion
State Teachers College.
Tho negative team earlier in tho
season defeated the team at Mansfield and lost to tho Shippensburg
debaters.

BOUND COPIES
Several students ha ve asked whether or not it would be possible to
have their copies of the Maroon and
Gold for the current year bound in
one volume. Having this done would
furni sh a convenient index to the
activities of the College this year,
for the Maroon and Gold has covered qui te thoroughly all the interesting happenings. It would be a great
source of pleasure in years to come
to have these papers conveniently at
hand in order t o rec al
l the ple a sant
happe nings of college life.
With these thoughts in mind we
inquired at several places and learned that Volume VIII (1930-31) Maroon a nd Gold could be pla ced in a
regul ar cardboard bindin g, for approximately fifty cents. On the
cover will be placed the masthead of
the Maroon and Gold and the volume
number.
The staff extends this bindin g service to all the people in tho school
who have kept their copies of the
Maroon and Gold and would like to
retain them in this convenient way.
If you woul d like to have us take
care of this work for you , please
writo to tho Editor-in-Chief through
tho "Editor 's Mail. " At tho propov
time ho will call for tho copies that
you havo and take caro of the binding' so that it will be done beforo vacation begins.

A class in principles of educa tion
during the autumn quarter made a
study of native tendencies and their
use in the field of education. From
the lists of principles handed in by
each member of the class, a composite list was made. Three students
not in the principles ' class were asked to check those which they thought
were the most important in school
work. The following- are considered
the most valuable for teachers :
1. Imitation is strong in children ,
and the teacher is a model for imitation.
2. In successful teaching the appeal must be varied in order to interest all pupils in whom differen t capacities are developing.
3. Sublima tion is the best way to
modify an unfavorable tendency.
4. Desire for approval is never
outgrown.
5. Capacities show themselves
early in crude , almost unrecognized
beginnings and from these they grow
gradually to maturity.
G. The desire to be with others
of the same species is one of the
strongest roots of all social tendencies or customs.
7. No tendency is bad in itself.
8. Education is the modifying of
original tendencies, which are the
capital for all educa tion. They vary
in in tensity and expression , in differen t persons at different times and
may develop into habits.
0. Tendencies can be checked or
changed by disuse, punishmen t, substitution and sublimation,
10. Curiosi ty is the mother of interest. (Index).

COLLEGE FACULTY
TEAM EASILY WINS

iii

i

The overcrowded conditions on the
college tennis courts last week did
no t dampen the ardor of a few ingenious and ambitious students of
the college. With a firm determination and a silent resolve to play at
any cost they invaded the baseball
field.
A bench extracted carefull y fro m
tho righ t field bleachers, served conveniently as a net—at least it marked the spot where a net should be.
In order to mark off the playing
bo u nd a ries , these energetic individu als lugged huge rocks from a nearby construction j ob, carefully forming a wall which they hoped would
keep in the balls as well as mark the
boundary for the court.
Then they began to play and what
a game—Oliver Henry Krapf seemed
to have a slight edge over his opponents, Edna Mao Derrick and Ruth
Fairchild. At least ho hit the bench
more often and was awarded "net
ball" every time (incidentl y Oliver
kept score as the girl s did not know
how).
A few hours later the game broke
up as tho girls wore tired from chasing balls.
EDITOR'S NOTE :—On April 16,
baseball practice was delayed four
hours because of stones which wero
piled on the playing diamond. It is
rumored that training school youngsters were responsible for this malicious deed.

Wi th the marvelous pitching of
Professor Keller and the tremendous
batting power of Professor Koch, the
college faculty easily outclassed the
town policemen by a score of 14 to
2. A large crowd was present to witness one of the most colorful, exciting and amusing games of the year.
The game was won at the very beginning when Prof. Koch found one
of Zaner 's benders and straightened
i t out t o t he lef t field fence for a
home run. This remarkable feat
aroused jealousy in the rest of the
faculty aggregation and they literally "slaugh tered the ball" to win the
game by a comfortable margin.
The fielding ability of "Rabbit"
Hartley, Doe Russell, Coach Booth
and Englehart was marvelous. They
aided Keller and are worthy of much
praise in helping to win this great
event.
The town-men, although beaten
very badly , displayed signs of coming from behind to win af ter they received their "second wind. " Due to
excess poundage the cops were fatigued at the end of the first inning.
Landis , Shultz and Hartzel all played
well for the policemen and claimed
that they would convert this defeat
into a victory next week.
The faculty, however , is looking
forth to a big season and expect to
conclude the season 's program with
a game against the Yankees.

BASEBALL TEAM BOWS
TO STROUDSBURG , 7-2

The college baseball team received its first defeat out of three starts
at the hands of East Stroudsburg S.
T. C. last Saturday afternoon at the
latter 's field by the score of 7 to 2.
Shelhamer , pitching for Bloomsburg, twirled a commendable game,
but, due to costly errors by his teamma t es, he was not able to chalk up a
triumph.
The score does not indicate how
close the game was. Up unti l the
last of the fifth the score was tied at
two all. Then Stroudsburg regained
the lead again in their half of the
fifth inning by scoring a run, and
this lead was never headed by the
Booth-men.
Captain Kirker did not start the
game because of a slight arm injury ;
Thompson , however, played well in
Kirker 's position.
Stroudsburg opened the scoring m
the third. With one out, Me t calf
reached first when Thompson failed
to touch the base in time. Naj aka
walked. Kasisk y doubled , scoring
Metcalf. Stroudsburg scored again
in the fourth when Risley walked and
advanced on Watkin 's error of Nathanson 's grounder. Riap and Fritschman fanned , but Metcalf scored Risley with a single.
Bloomsburg scored two runs on
the time-honored squeeze play. With
one ou t Golder hit , and Rudowsk i
was safe on Najak a 's error. With
Golder on third and Rudowski on
second Thompson bun ted. * Golder
scored and Rudowski also scored
from second base.
Stroudsburg i*egained the lead in
their half of the fifth when Kasisky
w alked , a dv an ced on an infield ou t
and scored on an error.
In the seventh inning the home
t eam scored one run on Shelhamer 's
err or and an er ror by Golder w ho
made a wild stab at a liner. Rislcy
scored in the eighth when he singled
and came in on Nathanson 's double.
L abino , batting for Riap, singled to
score Na thanson. Fritchman fanned ,
and Metcalf pop-flied to Rudowski.
Naj aka hit a high fly to Jones, who
m uffed i t, and Labino scored. This
was the end of the scoring for the
gam e.

"CAPE COD" SUBJECT
OF INTERESTING TALK
"Cape Cod" was the subj ect of an
in teresting lecture given by Mr. A.
M. Freeman, of Massachuse t ts at
Chapel on Wednesday. The talk, illustrated with slides and movies, afforded en tertainment and education.
A brief prelude concerned with
the origin and causes of Cape Cod's
settlement served as a proper in troduction to the subj ec t. Mr. Freeman
then acted as guide on an imaginary
trip through the 1400 miles of inland
roads which constitute the Cape Cod
district. It was in teresting to note
all along the excursion the persistency with which Cape Coders cling
to the old atmosphere. Some of the
homes are built to resemble wind
mills , and in Province town the town
crier still paces the narrow streets.
Every where is that sense of loyalty
for the pioneers and a preservation
of his ideals.
Points of interest on the trip were :
the scenery , Joe Lincoln 's summer
home , the crantoerry and fi shing industries.
Mr. Freeman informed the students that the lecture had been cut
in order to fit in with the,chapel period. Wha t was given , however , left
a desire in many a student' s hear t t o
see that historic section sometime in
the fu ture.
