NEW QUARTERS FOR LIBRARY; READING ROOM Books Moved To Large Suite South End Of Training School Building One of the important projects being carried on in the school a<J a result of the labor provided by the CWA is the moving of the train: ing school library from its presettt quarters, a class room on the west side of the third floor to the suite of rooms at the south end of that floor. Librarians' Office The new library will have a large and spacious reading room, a study room for student teachers and training school facu!ty, a large conference room capable of holding a full class, a special room 'for all primary books, and a librarians' office with a house phone. Not only will the new library provide the very much needed shelving space, but will provide the facilities for a real use of the training school library as a meth-od in education. The value of supervised reading and study by classes in the library has for sometime been recognized and advocated by leading educators throughout the country. Unfortunately most educational institutions in the country do not have the physical equipment to make such a program possible. Among The Best According to Mr. Allez, the new lay-out for the training scho(}l library could not be better adapted to such a program if it had been designed for it. The new location promises to be not only a practical working laboratory, but a very attractive show place rivaling the best training school libraries in the country in institutio·ns of a size comparable to our College. :b"'or quite some time the school has been in need of some device that might serve much more efficiently the purpose our old basketball score board did, which wa·s situated above the balcony on the east side of the gym. This new score board will be presented to the school this morning at the regular assembly session and will take the place of the old ·b oard. Card System The board is eight and one half feet long and six and a third feet wide. It is coated with white enamel. The arrangement of the board includes the names of the two teams in large black lettering at the very top. These names are changed by means of a card system. In the same systematic way the players names are arranged in two vertical columns 'beneath their respective school eard. With each of these names are slots that give the data as to the position of player, number on jersey, field goals, free throws, and personal fouls whi-ch the player has made. school.

J udg·ing fr'Om the volume of appla·use, and the requested encore<;, we surmised 'that the college thoroughly enjoyed the student program pretJented in the auditorium last Thlirsday. Considerable credit sh<>uld be given those people who willingly offered their time and services, and especially to George 1\Iaurer, >vho 'vas the instigator, and promoter o£ the entertainment. · These programs appeal to the majority of the student body, (and we feel safe in saying majority) for aLmost . everY'O'fie was present. ·why hot have .more of them? It would save, the cost of putting on outside entertainment and a·t the same time give our talented students an opportrunity t'O develop that talent. As for variety, last Thursday's ;program proved that we have plenty of it here. Certainly there are other able persons in this c<>l· le.ge. There are th<>se who are too shy to f'orce themselver.; into the limeli·ght. A few failed to appear last time because of insufficient time for preparation. The wh<>le thing was· a ·r ush order, some did not know they were t·o rupipear until the clay bef<>re presentation. : · Why not have three or four of these programs each semester? w~ ~uggest that at some future meeting of the the student b<>dy a committee be elected to find open dates and prepare programs of .this. type. .

Roach was born in Eau Claire County, Wisconsin, on a farm which joins the city of Eau Claire on the west and is bounded on one side by in January. Approximately baH the Chippewa River. The farm is a portion of a tract of land which Miss the men in College, ·were in a ttenclRoach's grandfather, who came to this country from Ireland in 1851 during ance (at the meeting) all of whom one of the great emigrations, bought from the government, the original deed unanimously agreed to the proposto which is signed by President Buchanan and is now held by her father. Miss Roach received her elementary and high school education in the city eel men's rom.'' of Eau Claire, completing her high school course during the principalship of M. S. Frawley, a poineer educator in Eau Claire and one of the outstanding educational leaders in Wisconsin. During her junior year, she took the county examination for a teaching license, the securing of which was the only legal requirement to enter the teaching profession at that time. Probably as much by accident as through ability ,she won the license. The County superintendent who held the examination was Miss Lura Burce who later became a member of the faculty at S. P. N. Miss Roach was graduated from the Eau Claire High School on January 23-rd and was given a teaching position in a rural school in Eau Claire County in less than two weeks afterwards, because a teacher had secured a promotion and she held that certificate. She began her teaching career on Thursday at eleven o'clock. The enrollment in tht school was fifty-five, the term was seven months, the salary was thirtyfive dolars, board, room and laundry was eight dollars a month, and :Miss Roach says she saved money. After remaining in that school the following year, Miss Roach made plans to enter the State Normal at Superior, but changed them to come to S. P. N. after attending a teacher's institute conducted by John F. Sims, who was president here. After completing one year, she accepted a· position in a rural school in Rusk County and returned later to complete the Classical Course at S. P. N. in June 1910. The following September she became a member of the high school faculty at Alma; Wisconsin, which position she left after one year to become principal of the state graded school at Cable, Wisconsin. That school was then offering ninth grade work. Miss Roach remianed there for three years. MISS M.

In 1914 Miss Roach retmned to S. P. N. to fill the position of teacher in the rural demonstration school which was the Town House School in the Town of Stockton but was changed to the Nugent School in the Town of Hull the following year. One of the strongest reasons for the invitation to return to her Alma Mater was probably an article which was published by a member of the Department of Education concerning some community organization and projects whi-ch at that time he considered unique, but which would now be very commonplace. After remaining in the demonstration school for three years, Misl! Roach came into the College as a member of the Department of Rural Education. Miss Roach studied one summer at Columbia and has completed her undergraduate wwk at the Univer,sity of Minnesota where she specialized in School Administration and Supervision and received her Bachelor of Science in 1928. She is continuing her graduate study there where she hopes to receive her Masters Degree after another quarter's attendance. Miss Roach is a member of the Stevens Point Catholic Women's Club and served as president for three years. She is also a member of the Business and Professional Women's Club and served as its first president, acting in that capacity for two years.

THE POINTER SPLIT IN CONFERENCE OPENERS QUAKERS HAND POINTERS FIRST DEFEAT OF YEAR Winning Streak Of Over a Year Stopped By Whitewater Probably the biggest upset of the conference Saturday was the defeat of the Pointers, 29 and 20 at the hands of Whitewater. Th~ Kotalmen seemed tired and unable to click together, being called frequently for fouling. Unferth went out ·of the game and Gregoi;y and Tardiff were charged with three fouls. Krueger High Scorer Taking a safe lead of 15 and 7 the first half, the Quakers outplayed the Pointers with Reel Krueger leading the scoring. lie marked up 12 points on 3 baskets and 6 free throws. Marsh led the scoring for the Kotalmen with 3 buck~ts. Tough Luck The first conference defeat of a C. S. T. C. athletic team in over a year was a bitter enough pill. ·what made matters worse was the fact that Abel suffered a badly sprained ankle and Gregory ended up with a nice charley-horse. That climaxes the bad luck which began when Co-captain Guy Krumm injured his knee. If Coach Eddie Kotal can bring his squad through the season with a fair share of victories, and we lrnow he will, the school shall have nothing to complain about and our coach can truly be called a builder of alert, fighting teams.

BROADCAST Dea.r Edit()r: The band have their uniforms. As Orpheus says, we eertainly have a fine orchestra. We might add that our band is nothing to be sneezed at either. The members of the band do work hard, as the band booster reminds us. They have to pay a considerable sum of money for their instruments. On the reed instruments the upkeep is considerable. 1\I usicians do have a real investment in lessons before they are able to play presentable music. In addition to that, they have to spend many hours practising besides that done under an instructor. It is perhaps no more than right that those who devote their time to music should get college credit for doing so. I do not know whetber such a practise is customary at other colleges or not. My dear friend, Uncle Dudley Judge Whipple, makes the statement that a considerable sum of money is spent on college athletics yearly. That is true, but on the other hand, I dare suggest that athletics are very nearly self supporting at this institution. My first letter, which was answered by the Judge ,was merely a matter of · conjecture. Not one word was said directly against the band. Evidently some one felt just a little uneasy, for they construed some of those statements to mean many things. The second letter was admittedly sarcastic, mean. But, then, perhaps it was correct. I am a student at this institution. I do not exactly agree with the policy of spending $1,500.00 for the band uniforms at this time. I supported the policy that seemed to me to be the wisest. Hardly another person held the same opinion. That, however. is neither here nor there. It might be well to remember that Jesus Christ was crucified because he . was at. odds ~ith the society in wh1ch he hved. T1me has proven him correct in the tenets he held. Coperni· cus, Galileo, and other scientists, too many t{) mention, have found themselves literal outcasts from the world about them. Abraham Lincoln was defeated when he ran for the position of United States Senator. Yet today Americans revere the name "Honest" A b.

I cannot imagine a season in which an imperfect skin is in fashion! Conect beauty care for the college girl is not complicated. A granular wash, such as beauty grains, will • cleanse the pores deeply, thus preventing or helping remove blackheads, blemishes and skin cells. The skin is left immaculately clean, the pores are rerlueed, and the whole skin torte i~ elarified. In addition to a wash, every type of skin needs a cream that is enlivening to the tissues, and that will include. • softening the skin and erasing fatigue lines in its duties. A pasteurized face cream does all this, and is also excellent for cleansing after you have been out-of-doors playing hockey - dashing across a wind swept campus or walking against a brisk winter breeze. You will find that it serves as an excellent • • powder base, too, if your skin is very ~~ dry or sensitive, although of course you will find a foundation cream much more flattering for evening and other formal occasions.

"Himmel! vot iss II", she exclaimed. (You see, she too was a muter of the languages.) "Moj Boze" said I. With one thought in mind we ran up to the second floor together. Sure enough, on Mr. Smith's bulletin board was a little sign that said "No history for an indefinite period. Everyone, however, will receive their credits from the main office at the end of the semester.'' Well, I knew that E. T. '·s hearty, boisterous laugh would captivate · the radio audience, and that he was sure to be an outstanding success. For the past forty years whenever anything went wrong around the college the first thing one did was to go talk it over with Dr. Collins. As we opened his door we felt reassured. for there he was standing at the blackboard figuring. He had the board entirely covered with figures, and I could see that he was stumped for once. Being something of a mathematician myself, I thought to untagle the difficulty for him.
