uwk Of Funds, And Work Allows
Coach Kotal To Handle
Athletics Alone
Gib St. Mitchell, who has been
acting as assistant coach to "Eddie'' Kotal since last fall, concluded his services with the college at the end of March.
Lack of funds and an insufficient amount of work in the athletic department to warrant an
assistant necessitated the action.
Mitchell has assisted Kotal in
football work and also has had
charge of some gym classes and
intra-mural activities.
Mitchell's personality and good
fellowship has won him many
friends about the institution. He
has no definite plan for the future but is interested in high
school activities.

College Athletic Field Now At Neillsville
Work on the college's new athletic field was started last Saturday by the Vaughn Construction
company and a crew of city men.
A 150 yard cinder straightway
on the west side of the field is
well under way. When this is
completed the crew of men will
grade and level the field and
place from 3 to 4 inches of surface soil over the entire area and
s~ed it. Appr?xim~tely 1000 cubiC yard~ of dirt ~ll b~ used.
Cmders Laid Thick
The straightway now being
completed will act as the west
side of the 440 yard cinder track
which will surround the football
field. Cinders are being laid 10
inches thick to insure a sound
and permanent footing. Six running lanes will be provided by the
new track.
Mr. Schmeeckle, of the athletic
committee, said choice cinders are
being used and are being secured
from local companies and plants.
Waiting For New Track
Track practice and all outdoor
activities will be suspended until
the new 1'50 yard track is completed.

SORORITY DANCE
One of the most successful dancing parties of the spring seas·on
was the Omega Mu Chi sorority
formal, held at Wausau at the Hotel Wausau Saturday evening. One
hundred and ten couples were present, including a number of sorority alumnae mem'bers. 'Many pretty evening gowns of lace, satin,
taffeta and chiffon, with white,
blue and green as the predominating colors, made the scene especially charming, and shoulder and
wrist bouquets worn by many ·of
the girls added to the spring-like
effect of the party. The programs
were bound in white leather with
the sorority crest in gold, with
long gold pencils attached. Archie
Adrian's orchestra of Fond du
Lac played for the dancing.
Preceding the dance a 6 :30 o 'clock dinner was served in a private dining room of the hotel,
Covers were laid for 30 at small
ta·bles, each decorated with a bouquet of spring flowers and two
tall green tapers. Favors for the
escorts of sorority members were
small watch charms of ·black onyx
with the sorority crest in gold.
Chaperones for the party were
Dr. and Mrs. H. P. Benn. Miss
Florence Brown and Miss Eva M.

it looks like Rightsell's team,

By Six-Letter Men
The Six-Letter men have again proved t hat
experience is the best teacher. Monday night
this team challenged and played the other men
of the varsity to a basketball gafue, and won
by a score of 37 to 34 in an overtime period.
The Six-Letter Team was composed of Vroble, Schroeder, Alberts, Neuberger, and Chvala. The opposing team consisted of Baker,
Thompson, Cashman, Gregory, and Klement.
The six-letter men issued a challenge to any
other organization in school in an issue of The
Pointer last March 17.

E were pleased with Lew Sarett and he should be pleased with
us. He furnished us with a refreshing and intellectual program that we will long remember. We mustered a
L ew S arett large
audience that was the most alert, responsive
and appreciative group that we have assembled for a long time.
T is seldom that this famous poet, naturalist and dramatizer
addresses a group before a scheduled appearance. His purpose
is to reserve all his enthusiasm and energy for his program. He
broke precedent while at his stay in Stevens Point and spoke unexpectedly at the banquet given in his honor by the Sigma Tau Delta,
professional English fraternity, of which Sarett is national vice-president. President Hyer, who is a personal friend of Sarett, induced
him to speak by making the situation very informal and pleasant.
Besides the conventional salutations Sarett added a beautiful thought
to his greeting that is well worth distribution.
ARETT is a teacher and he talked to the students as prospective
teachers. In his "shop talk" he pointed out the differences between a materialistic and the idealistic mind. Teachers, poets, readers have idealistic minds and have the power of ''escape'' that IP.aterialistic minds lack. The latter form of mind or interest is confined to tools, machines, and technical matters. The "escape" mentioned was the ability to leave our own hum-drum existences and dream
the lives and circumstances of other.s in our books and plays. Thus
our experiences become manifold, more interesting and delightful.
But books alone are not the only avenues of "escape" for teachers.
'l'hey have the lives of their pupils which they may live and feel as
their refuge from an ordinary existence. To make a long story and
an interesting speech short,-the teacher has not a bad job after all.

E are appreciative of the sel,'Vices and aid that "Gib" St. Mitchhas performed for the college during his stay as assistant
•
coach. "Depleted athletic funds have made it
St. Mrtchel/ necessary to get along without an assistant for the
time being," has been given as the official reason for his leave.
T. MITCHELL is a clean-cut fellow and was very friendly. He
displayed considerable ability a a football ,line-coach,intra-mural
and physical education director. "Mitch" has won our admiration
and we wish him luck and hope that he will soon have definite plans
ror his work.
