the metropolis, said there would

able to see all of the teams perform. Such a team will be officially selected at a coaches meeting in Madison soon.

At forwards on our all-opponent team we place Nell of Oshkosh and Kohler of Milwaukee.
Hohler was a star on a losing
team. He has a nice eye for the
basket, leading the league in total
points scored, and is a nice floor
man.
Nell is a fast-breaking, elusive
little forward, who is always
dangerous.
He is very clever
with the ball, and knows when
not to shoot. (Something most
forwards .never learn). Kreuger
of Whitewater presses these two
very close in all departments.
Mundt of Whitewater cops the
center nomination. This lanky
pivot-man, elegible only the second semester, is the main cog in
all his team's plays. He is especially deadly on shove-shots.

Fifteenth Year Finds Nelson Hall
A Traditional Part Of
Campru.s Life
Some dormitories differ from
jails in as much as they allow the
inmates to go home holidays and
week-ends, but not so at Nelson
Hall. Since the beginning of the
local co-eds' dormitory in 1917 an
attempt to make the Hall a social,
instructive and interesting place
to live in has been in · evidence.
''Families'' have left the ivied
building year after year, and new
girls have t aken their place to

The impression is often given
that Nelson Hall receives aid from
the state as does the rest of the
Teachers .Colleges but this is not
the case. No state ajd is received
and the dormitory must function
and maintain itself strictly on its
own income. 'fhe work of budgeting and planning "to make both
ends meet" falls upon Miss May
A Rowe. She has been in charge
of ali the "hiring, firing and buying" at Nelson Hall since it first
began in 1917.

WISCONSIN
Madison, March 10. - A large
group of Teachers College stu.Q.ents is expected to :make the
trip to Wausau Thursday, April
7, whe:ra the Haresfoot Club of the
University of 'Wisconsin presents
its 34th annual production
"Lucky Breaks," a S'ay musical
r evue, at the Grand theatre at an
evening performance. The time
honored slogan of the club, 'All
our gitls are men; yet everyone's
a lady,' will be more than apparent when the burlesque artists
give their impressions of feminine
charm and attractiveness.
"Lucky Breaks" surpasses
by far any previous· Haresfoot production. In the elaborateness of the scenic effects
and props, the high quality
of the music and dancing,
and the standard of entertainment m a i n t a i n e d
throughout this year's show
approaches the professional
and has more than a touch of
Broadway in its skits and
specialty numbers. Roy Hoyer, former Broadway leading
man and one of the country's
foremost dancing instructors,
has been busy teaching the
boys the latest in steps to the
original tunes of David W elton, a senior in the university, who· composed the music
for the show.
A special train will carry the
extensive equipage and t h e
troupe of . eighty five actors,
dancers, and · production men on
the most pretentious itinerary in
the history of the club. The stops
vary from Duluth to Chicago and
include among others, such places
as La Crosse, Minneapolis, Rockford, Milwaukee, and Manitowoc.
PASADENA
The students at Pasadena haye
requested that hurdles be put m
the halls for the ardent hall bully
as he gently hits every person in
the corridor in an attempt to
reach his next classroom before
the bell rings in order to get his
lessons for that subject. - "Yes,
everybody would be pleased if we
could throw him out."
WISCONSIN
And as exam time approached
we hear about the flunkout at the
University of \Visconsin who remarked that he wanted to be a
river so that he could lie in bed
and still follow the course.
It might interest you to know
that Wayne King once tooted a
saxaphone in an obscure Campus
bank in Madison. - Not so bad,
is it?

Mr. Rightsell said
this year's rate would be approximately the same.
Value In Tour
Not to mention the entertainment the students had en route to
Chicago on the night special,
breakfast was served about 8
o'clock Saturday morning in Chicago. The students were then
taken to the planitarium. The
Field museum, aquarium, soldiers' field and planitarium are
in the same vicinity on the lake
shore off Michigan Blvd., about
one-half mile from the "loop."
Time For Yourself
After seeing some of the most
unique, interesting and rare displays of astronomy in the world,
the students were given an interesting lecture ·on the world's
astronomical movements by a Chi~ago university professor. The

Saturday noon and had until mid'llight for themselves. Many stu:dents remained over and returned

Mr. Rightsell said the students
can choose their own topic this

other ·interesting place in America's second largest city. If the

ITHERTO Nelson Hall has been just all(>ther building on the
campus, but this scrutiny has revealed that it is a real institution and a complicated but well regulated community. In faet the
visit was almost as interesting as a trip through
Nelson Hall Hull House. Certainly Nelson Hall is an asset to
the Teachers College in many respects. Not only
does it solve the dormitory question but it provides the center for
many of our social events. Nelson Hall is to Stevens Point practically what the Memorial Union is to the University.

ANGUS McGRE1GOR
Angus McGregor lies brittle as ice,
With snow tucked up to his jaws,
Somewhere tonight where the hemlocks moan
And crack in the wind like straws.
Angus went cruising the woods last month,
With a blanket-roll on his back,
With never an ax, a dirk, a gun,
Or a compass in his pack.
''The hills at thirty below have teeth;
McGregor," I said, "you're daft
To tackle the woods like a simple child."
But he looked at me and laughed.
He flashed his teeth in a grin and said:
'''£he earth is an open book;
I've followed the woods for forty years,
I know each cranny and crook.
"I've battled her weather, her winds, her brutes,
I've stood with them toe to toe;
I can beat them •back with my naked fist
And answer them blow for blow.''
Angus McGregor sleeps under the stars,
With an icicle gripped in his hand,
Somewhere tonight where the grim-lipped peaks

Was awfully pleased to hear that Nuesse

S a t u r d a y. It feels awfully funny to have
c h a m p i o n s h i p s come this way again. We
haven't even won a conference debate since the
"Three H Club" of Hotvedt, Hawkes and Higgins lbeat Superior three years ago. Its about time
that we got some of the frosting. I feel that a
championship like we just received is just as
good as a championship in sports. It shdws that
the athletes aren't the only ones who can do
things for the Alma Mater. It might do the athletes good to profit by suggestion and g~t out and
get some honors themselves next year.
