Senator Presents Bill For New Gymnasium

'rhe faculty an<! students of Central State were highly sul'pris­ed and plea ed last l\Ionday to hear that Senator Herman J . Se­verson had just introduced a bill, No. 1,13-S, asking for a "Nonlaps­able appropriation of $150,000 for a new gymnasium at Stevens Point Teachers College." This is something in which .tJ)e whole school ought to be greatly inter­ested, for its passage would cer­tain ly mean much to Central State.

Bands Answer Invitation To 4th Music Festival

George Cartmill, who is in charge of the fourth annual mu­sic festival to be hold at the col­lege on Friday April 23rd, reports that several bands have already registered their desire to partici­pate. Letters have been sent out to many high schools and it is ex,pccted that the affai!r ,vill be highly successful. More than 30 orchestras and bands have taken part yearly in previous festivals .

In judging the presentations there will be no division or place­ment of the organizations. Each­band will play t hree numbers of its own choice. Their rendition will be criticized by a competent judge and the scaled ariticisms will be given the directors.

It is expected that this year 's fest ival will be the biggest ever. Eleanor Ruchti .. . .. . . . ... Miss Prism

New Field Worker In C.S. T.C. Library

Ralph Hagedorn, graduate of Northwestern College at Water­town, is doing fiefd worlc in Cen­tral State Teachers College libra­ry for the month of March. He spent the month of F ebruary in the library of the Theological Se­minary at Thiensville, Wisconsin. Hagedorn will return to the Wis­consin Library school in April and will be graduated in June. Miss Edi th Neff, who worked in this library during the month of February has gone on to the La Crosse Public Library for the month of April. All Wisconsin Li­brary school students do two months of field work in various libraries.

The purpose of the group since it was started in 1934 by Clifford Malchow, present Iris Editor, has been to encourage the art of pho­tography among the students in school. Outside speakers or actual photographic work are presented a t weekly meetings so t hat mem­bers can consistently improve in their work and keep up on new methods.

In the actual routine work the members are constantly develop­ing, printing and enlarging their pictures in the fully equipped dark room which is located just off the chemistry laboratories in the basement.

While on the recent bond tour, this riter bad occasion to t.nlk ,dth quite fc,v people in tho towns tbnt were

isit:ed. He was su.rpriseJ at tho opinion hat mnny of them ha,·c concerning entrnl State Teachers College. I t ems that many of them still consider

it the some ns n normal school. It is hard to know just where to be­

gin to chouge this impression. First of all, perhaps the name of tho school it· elf cnn be mentioned. This is a college. ho uomc wns changed some years ngo. ho real difference that crisis bctwecu

he college and tho normal school is bat the college gra.nts a degree.

Central State, like the other teacbcr alleges; no longer hns any one year ourses. They a re all tn·o, th ree, or four ear courses. Four year grncluntcs arc ranted degrees. The high school course

s of four years duration, and each of he other courses, while they vary in ength, way nlso be taken for four

;rears, i!ach then ending with the grant· ng of a degree.

The high school department baa al­ays had tho largest individu.al enroll­ent. In 1930-31 the percentage r,f stu­ents in this department was 31% . The orcentages for tho succeeding years ere 37o/o, 43%, 49%, 67%, a.nd last ea.r, 1936-36, tho number reached 63 % . xact figures for this year cannot be etermlnod until the end, hut the mount is already well over 69%.

Preparatory Curriculum In this phenomenal rise can be seen

be real reason why Central State is crforming such an· impo rtant mission o the students who attend the college.

A. study of the cu rriculum offered for bis high school department will reveal bat nearly all of the oourses, excepting hose in education, nre the same as hose which are generally taken n:i pre­edical or pre-legal "·ork. The first and cond years in particular arc most osely parallel to the uui,·ersity cours­offered in preparation for their grad·

ate schools. Consequently, many per­ns have taken advantage of the coo­

' omy tbnt can be affected by attendin!( is school for several years before

transferring to the university. Another advantage is that the transition from b!gh achoo! life to college KDd universi· ~ life is not so abrupt when one 'at· tiends a small college.

This hy brought up another subject which has been mentioned frequently before hut has never been very clearly defined. It ls the ma.tter of transferring

With regard to under­gmdnatcs, no definite agreement has been mids. But the University has ne­ver yot fa.ilod to accept an undergrad­uate's credits II the course were cho­sen J)roperly and carried through with a '

1 fair'' degree or success. There is no reason to believe that this practice will chango. Bo while there is no definite arrangement with the University with reg:ml to the transference of under· graduato credits, past experience would indicate that there is no need at all for any hesitaWon based on that fear.

Athletic Ohlllllplons

The real growth of Central State be· gan somo years back with the coming of President Hyer. H1> brought in to the <·urriculum chnnges which have tended to runko this school more desirable. But in addition and perhaps equally as im­portant is the way he bas brought up the stand a rd o( the extra-curricular ac­th·ities. It cannot be denied that these draw many student s to Central State. ·

Consider first the quality of our ath­letics. Championships hn.ve become al­most proverbial with Conch Kotal. This school certainly has attraction for as­piring athletes.

Tops In Music

ConAider next the high quality of our musical organizations. Tho band com­pleted a highly successful tour under tho direction of Peter J. Michelsen. Just last week the Mens Oleo Club, led by Norman E. Knutzen, returned from a Jong trip. Thon, too, there nre the numerous other musical courses and grOl\P•, all_ of which are highly attrac­tive 'fo aspiring musicians. Central State has become known for the worii of its musical efforts. Consider also our debate teams, which are handled by Leland M. Burroughs. They meet and defeat mony teams from the strongest schools in the Middle West.

All of these activities, because of their high level, draw students to Central Stare. President Hyer deserves a maximum of credit for this advance. May be continue to make Central State grow and improve!
