One of the most elaborate and
colorful Christmas programs in
the history of the college will be
given in the auditorium Monday
evening Dec. 19, when the Cathedral artists, a group of noted Chicago soloists, will furnish music
for the spectacular musical and
dramatic production, "The I.Jight
Of The \Vorld".
A Costly Production
As the story is sung, a panorarna in natural, living colors will
be shown on a large silver screen.
It took five years to make this
motion picture at a cost of a
million and a half francs. The
picture was filmed in the Holy
Land by a notable French cast.
The story follows the four gospels
very closely and moves swiftly

A REAL TREAT MONDAY NIGHT
Just what is "The Light Of The World" is a question that .many
students are asking one another. It is a musical panorama, telling
with the great sacred song.s of the world the dramatic and every compelling story of the Master of Men - Jesus of Nazareth. Stevens
Point is very fortunate in being able to house such an entertainment.
Accompanying this outstanding panorama will be the Cathed,ral
Artists, who will furnish the music for the production. They are
noted Chicago soloists, ranking with the very best.
In perfect synchronization with the singing of these sacred
masterpieces will be the presentation of a beautiful panorama in
natural colors on a life sized screen. The film is wonderfully handcolored. The actual scenes were made in Palestine by a notable
French company.
It will appear in the college auditorium Monday evening at
8 o'clock. Only college students and 100 townspeople will be admitted to the gala event.

RHAPSODIST
Not Always Saints
The holier than thou attitude of the
coach and conference repre·sentative at
Whitewater does not appear so genuine
when we come to look into past history.
Not many years ago they certified and
played Dick Hallisey in a football game
with Platteville, and his eligibility was
afterward challenged by Oshkosh. Hal-'
lisey was declared ineligible because he
had overplayed his time on the Whitewater team under the present coach and
representative at Whitewater; both of
whom should have known of the player's standing on the team when they
certified Hallisey on their squad list.
That year Whitewater forfeited the
game to Platteville and withdrew Hallisey from the team in the other conference games. At that time. the Conference took it for granted that the Athletic management at Whitewater had
made a mistake, but the Conference Representatives did not act like a group
of spoiled boys, meet, adopt a group of
malicious resolutions insinuating that
the administration at Whitewater had
lost control of college athletics and
make other unsupportable charges against the athletics committee of the
college, as the Conference has done this
year in respect to our college.
It is unfortunate that there is no
court of appeal to which might be re'
ferred the charges and accusation made
or hinted at by some of the members of
the Athletic Conference, and the members who have made the charges be compelled to furnish the evidence upon
which these charges or insinuations are
based. It is considered contemptible to
conduct a whispering campaign in politics, Some members of the Conference
seem to think it permissible in our
teachers college athletic affairs.
The administration of our college is in
the hands of Regent Atwell and President Hyer. Our Athletic Committe is
composed of Professors Schmeeckle,
Watson, Rightsell, and Steiner. It is
quite evident. that the Conference mem-~
bers do not know these six men. Come
out in the open and tell us what you
know. We have confidence in the administration here at home.

THE POINTER
I STUDENT BROADCAST
In Defense Of The Editor
gditor, Pointer:
In the issue of November 17 there
was an editorial entitled ''The Missing
Half". It deplored the fact that but
one-half of the student body was interested in the turbulent political campaign to such a degree as to cooperate
in the college election on Nov. 8. It advocated that the registration list be taken for the use of the Training School to
provide a basis for marking ''Training
in Citizenship'', as is provided on the
graph card" of every student teacher. In
addition it held that the college election
of Mr. Hoover was a tribute to the man
because he was the choice of thinking
and interested people. Although I am a
Democrat, I agree decisively with that
statement.
Last week ''Two Readers'', in a frantic attempt to prevent the registration
list from being turned over
to the
Training School to reveal their absence
from participatioin in this student enterprise, objected on the evident grounds
that they were too sophisticated to
waste their time in an election that
didn't even count. They had cast their
ballot for a ''dummy'' Electoral College with millions of voters and had
such self-satisfaction that theh ballot
with 337 people, whom we know, would
have been regarded by them as a waste
,of ink and two minutes of time.
I know that much of the opposition
to the editorial came from students with
Socialist views. They feared that their
political opinion would be injurious to
them if revealed. Although they are
justified in holding their political
faith they should understand that a registr~tion has nothing to do with their
choice of ballot. Perhaps our ''Two
Readers'' were suffering from the same
mis-conception.
If the advocation of the editorial was
ac!lepted and the college election became
tradition I am sure that all students
would be glad to participate in order to
give their critics a foundation for a
mark in "Training in Citizenship"·
Registration would then be the same as
a classroom exam. A test such as that
given in a classroom might also be a
"waste of time" but we don't see very
many students trying to argue the professor out the idea on the basis of its
impracticability.
When the student speakers appeared
in the assembly there were plenty of
pleople interested enoUtgh to ''boo''
them. But a good lot of these destructive individuals find it a good deal
more difficult to promote a little constructive effort. I'm for the editorial
''_The Missin~ Half'' strong.

''B'' Team To Play
The college band, under the direction of Mr. Michelsen, will
render selections appropriate to
the occasion. Another feature
will be a preliminary game to be
played by the '' B '' team against
a strong opponent. It will pay to
go early and see two real games.
Admission prices will be 40c.
and 25c. No children's tickets will
be sold, because the seating capacity of the gym will be taxed if
the student body and townspeople
turn out as they are expected.
Do You Know That
- Baron Munchausen of Lucky
Strike fame is a character from
old German literature; The book
dates back to 1785, and the title
is "Baron Munchausen's narrative of his marvelous travels and
campaigns in Russia. Humbly
dedicated and recommended to
country gentlemen and, if they
please, to be repeated as their
own, after a hunt, at horse races,
in watering places, and other
such polite assemblies ''round the
bottle and fireside".

Who has many pretty things,
Raymond wants a fool-proof lab,
And Pete a top that sings,
Herb could use a kiddy car
To help him on his way,
What Norman most would like to have
He's far too shy to say.
Give little Lu some-- talking books,
That cannot be mislaid,
And Jessie wants some rubber mice
Of these she's not afraid.

To stir some Irish stew
Give Bess and Helen pots and pans

Stevens Point High School got
off to a flying start last W ednesday night by taking Shawano
neatly into camp, 18 to 14. The
Red Devils fhtshed a fast breaking offense that is radically different from anything that we have
seen in High School basketball in
recent years. Outstanding in the
game was the work of Broome at
guard, Garragahn at center, and
Capt. Oligney at forward.

Local fans willhave the opportunity of seeing the High School
in action on December 16, when
Rhinelander appears here in the
