"Ande Sostenuto", "Andantino",
"Scherzo", and "Finale", all from
the Fourth Symphony in F. Minor,
Op. 36, by Tschaikovsky. A short

to Leave. November 10 for
Teaching in Reformatory.
Definite plans' for cooperation in
teacher interning between Central
Michigan College of Education and
the Michigan state Reformatory at
Ionia were made when three repre-
senatives of the Ionia staff visited
the Central campus this week.
Education department head Fred
Sanburn, Records department member George Bacon,, and Sociologist
H. Brown met with members of the
college faculty and three students
to discuss provisions of the arrangement. The students, Dave Lewis,
Ferndale senior; Art Merritt, ona-
way senior; and Walter Seibel, Saginaw senior, represented those who
would be doing their interne teaching at the Ionia institution. Mr.
Merritt and Mr. Lewis will leave
campus November 10 for a six
weeks period to teach classes and
make psychological and sociological studies at Ionia. Pending
the outcome of this experimental
step, are arrangements for next
semester when other senior men
who are interested in sociology or
some type of personnel work will be
given an opportunity to work with
the State Reformatory admlnstra-
tion.
Mr. P. G. Lantz, placement
director, commented that civil
service requirements for positions
of this type indicate a greater necessity for direct education in order to
qualify in sociological work.
