DEBATERS ATTEND ST. PAUL MEET
THIRD ANNUAL Music Festival Here Apr. 20. SIXTY NEEDY
TOURNEY NOW Twenty-Five Groups Invited STUDENTS ARE
AIDED BY CWA
IN PROGRESS
· Nuesse, Mills, Collins, Zylka
And L. :M. Coach Burroug·hs
Represent C. S. T. C.
The 1933-34 edition of Central
State Teachers College debate
squad left for Saint Paul, Minnesota, last Monday afternoon, February 26, where it is now meeting
its fina•l test of the seas-Oil1 in the
Northwest Debate tournament
sponsored by St. Thomas college.
The men making the trip are state
c'hampions Celestine J. Nuesse,
and the Rev. Donald Mills, who
compose one team, and Cletus
Collins and Michael Zylka, who
make up the other tea.m. Accompanying them is Coach Leland
l\1. Burroughs ..
tPlans are being made for a Music Festival to be held here on
April 20. More than twenty-five
bands are being invited to attend
It will be the first of its kind to
be given at C. S. T. C. A similar
feature was staged at Wausau
last year. This Music Festival is
sponsored by the State Teachers
College in Stevens Point and the
business men of this city.
Not a Contest
This will not be a contest but a
music festival· in which all bands
and orchestras participate without a feeling of competition and
receive helpful and constructive
criticism of their work by competent critics. These criticisms
will be sealed and handed to the
directors shortly after their respective organizations have played their numbers. Each organization will be expected to play a
warming up number, an overture,
and another concert number, or
a solo with band or orchestr'l.
accompaniment.
Prizes For All
Each participating organizatiPn
will be presented a trophy by the
sponsors of this festival. These
trophies will be loving cups aud
each will be engraved with the
date and the place of the festival
and the name of the school receiving it and will be the permanent
possession of that school.

At the close of school hist night,
there were 785 students enrolled,
96 of which are night students,
and the balance of 689 are regularly enrolled day students.
Not Alarming
In spite of the fact that the total
for this semester is slightly less
than that for the first, the total
number of students on the rolls
for the year is 890 contrasted with
847 the preceeding year.
The slight drop in second semester figures is no cause for any
great alarm inasmuch as it is aregular procedure :for the enrollment to dwindle a bit in the second semester.

A "Leauge for Industrial De

C. D. Jayne of the Training

Mr. Jayne, Elmer Buschman or

direction of Norman E Knutzen,
has had a very rigid schedule of
rehersals during the past week.
At a "Smoker", given by the organization recently, plans were
made regarding the appearance
of the Club in the College Auditorium on March 22. With this
factor in view plus a feature of the
entire group over WLBL yesterday afternoon, it was evident that
much time had to be spent on the
various arrangements.
Real Treat
Judging from the reports of the
committees in charge of further
entertainment, the organization
is to have a program which will,
no doubt, be well recieved by the
student body. Thus far much talent has been discovered, none of
which has been presented to the
students heretofore. Considering
the enthusiasm shown by individuals, and their regular attendances, it is evident that the student body and townspeople shall Free College Dance

Sixty Three State Loans
Covering Fees Have
Been Approved
Sixty students of Central State
Teaohers College have taken advantage of the Federal Student
Unemployment Relief act and are
engaged in projects. Or that number thirty one are men and twenty
nine are women. The quota for
male students is filled. There are
still eight vacancies' for co-eds.
Twenty five per cent of each
group are persons who did not
attend an institution of higher
learing last semester.
All Types of Work
These jobs are allowed to students who must have financial
help to stay in school.
The types of work allowed includes: clerical, library, research,
work on building and grounds,
work in dormitories and dining
halls, and construction and repair
projects.
The institution is the final
judge as to the acceptability of
projcets carried on within the institution.
President Hyer informed The
Pointer that sixty three state
loans were received covering admission fees.
5 Per Cent Interest
This semester the state allowed
loans for part of student maintenance as well as tuition fees.
These grants are to be payed back
after graduation from college. Interest must be paid at the rate of
five percent beginning July after
graduation.
Many of the applications have
been approved by the state. As
this issue goes to press the maintenance loans have not as yet been
received by the students.

Standards Raised
We aren't going t{) do any predic6ng for next year because it is
seldom practical. Although only
three men ~raduate, others doubtless will not enter school fot
various reasons. Tnis fact was
demomstra.ted forcihly last year.
Bishop, Eckerson, Bader, and Omholt were among those who
didn't return. We will, however,
rest assured that Coach Eddie
Kotal will clevellop a fine team
out of whatever is left. Our coa.Ch
has rai~sed the athletic stwndards
so high since he has been here
that we expect a lot and he always delivers. In the three years
here, Kotal has developed a state
championship basketball team,, a
comference winner in football and
