THE FOOTBALL SEASON IS HERE AGAIN
Confined To St. Michaels
Hospital In Town
Professor J. M. Davidson of our
local faculty is in a critical condition at St. Michaels Hospital of
this city. A recurrence of a
stomach ailment which he overcame two years ago is the cause of
his condition. His physicians had

but complications of an infectious
type have set in and his case is
unusually serious.
Mr. Davidson underwent a
minor operation early in August
this past summer. His recoYery
was rapid and good health seemed
to be his once more. \Vhile eamping at Plum Lake near Sayner,
Wisconsin, he again was stri~ken;
his eondition gradually grew
worse until he was removed to the
hospital September 11th.
Latest Available Figures
Show 65 7 Enrollment
The enrollment at Central State
Teachers College has, from the
latest figures available, reaehed a
total of 657. The figure at the
close of the first week of enrollment, Friday, September 14 ·was
646 in contrast to last year's 664
of the same time. The enrollment
for the fin-;t semester last year, inculding night school , was 818. Indications and predictions are that
there will be about 20 less, all told,
this semester, but your guess is as
good as ours.
Student Directory
DORM GIRLS
Being Compiled
GOVERN SELVES
Barbara Fulton Leads
Governing Group
"1College girls are capable of,
and should be accorded the privilege of governing themselves,"
stated Mr. Hyer. Thus the wheels
of student government were set
in motion at the dorm, and many
favorable comments have sine(-'
been heard.
Selection of a governing b-ody
was the first major step, and a
general meeting was called where
the elections occurred. S e v en
counsellors were chosen by ballot
vote, and it is this group of girls
who hold the greatest share of the
power and responsibility. They
are consulted whenever questions
arise, and they meet as a committee to discuss various arising
problems. Barbara Fulton, of
Oconto, ·wisconsin, was chosen
chairma,n. Assisting her are Helen
Piehl, Mable Lange, Fern Manger(Continued on page 2, col. 2)
NOTICE
Any person who h31S had previous
experience in the art of drum-majoring
and who desires to try out for the job
with the college band will please report
to Prof. Michelsen at his earliest
convenience.
The annual student and faculty
telephone directory will be on sale
at the College Counter in the very
near future. While no definite
date can ·be given at this time the
dummy is now in the hands of the
printers and should be available
to the student ·body Wednesday or
Thursday of next week.
The student directory is of
value to the many students attending the college and also lends
financial support to the athletic
department. All the funds receiveel over and above the cost of production go to the athletic committee.
Selling Price Low
In spite of the fact that the cost
of printing has gone up something
over 50% in the past year, due to
the NRA code rulings, the cost to
the student will remain the same
as in the past, ten cents per copy.
It must be clear to every student
that this booklet is made possible

advertisers, over fifty of ·whom

THAT GREAT AMERICAN GAME
this life of a football player.
Each mght_ he JOgs lightly out to the football field; each night he
plods weanly back to the shower room - a bruised, tired, battered
batch of human flesh. It takes guts, nerve, persistence. It's ability to
take bodily punishment and mental torture. It's willingness to take
abuse, aches, pains. And the reward isn't material - it's the fun of
cracking· the other fellow, knocking him flat on his back with a wellexecuted ·block, or bringing· him thumpingly to the earth with a clean,
hard tackle ; it's the fun of hitting him hard and square and taking
all that he can give It's a game for the red-blooded. It builds m e n
it teaches them to '·'take if.'' It teaches teamwork; they learn to get
along and rub shoulders with the other fellows. They learn to win
gracefully, and to lose as g·ood losers should. It builds character as it
develops the body - that's why it's the great American collegiate
game.
·we're not slamming those who stand on the sidelines. To the
contrary, it would be a funny world if everyone were a football playcr. The fellow who excells in one line usually doesn't contribute much
in another. "vVe need football players and we need football fans; we
need musicians and we need scholars. However, it happens that this
edition is dedicated to the gridiron warrior, and we're taking this
time and space to give him his j11st due - space his work has merited. And we'll be backing him whether he's the most outstanding star
or the least noticed sub.
Let's take off our hats to i he fellows who are willing to go out
there for a tough practise grind each day so their Alma Mater can
gTow and glory in the team's victories. It's an accepted fact that a
planned athletic program linked with victories and championships
builds a school. The athletic records set up in the past several seasons
have done more to advertise our school than packages of literature
and sacks of letters.
Hats off to yon red-hloorled men - to you fifty gritty, live fellows who are working hard each night, scraping your nos'es in the
dirt. You're a tribute to this school and we're proud of you!

HERE IS YOUR CHANCE. TO COOPERATE
The experiment of self-government inaltgurated at the dorm is of
concern to every st~dent of our college. It is, undoubtedly, a preliminary step to the innovation of student government in the school. The
success or failure of thir; proiect will determine what policy the administration adapts in regard to student democracy. It is something
for the entire student hody to t.h ink about! We compliment the dorm
girls on the courage they have shown in decisively deciding to take
this forward step. \Ve are Rure that every dormite will discard -petty
jealousies, and cooperate to her utmost; we are sure that no one
woulrl stoop so low as to place personalities and personal grudges
ahead of the principle.
But more than dormite cooperation is needed. The cooperation of
the young· men of the school is eRAential to this experiment's success.
Knowledge of rlorm rules and obedience of them is the means by
which the gentlemen can help. Those irresponsible, thoughtless, young
men wl10 vell and whistle aftel' cloAing hours are as much an attribute
to our college as the weeds are to the lawn -both should be weeded
out.
The experiment is Pveryo11e 's concern; the eyes of the entire
student bodv are focnserl on the nro:iect; the towmmeople, too, are
watching with interest. Failure will be a black mark fc~r the entire
school.
We must 1wove to onr onlookers that we possess the capacitv to
put this over: that we posse~s as mnch ability. as m11ch determination,
and as m11Rt foresio.:ht ar; stnrlents 0f other colleges. TJet's prove to our
good nresident, l\fr. Hyer. that' we are worthy of the confidence he
has placed in us.
The students are the prime interests ·of the ~chool
mate success is the best the school can hope for.
Dear Editm:
I am using this column as a means of
thanking the student-body, the faculty,
and my fellow-janitm·s for the splendid
cooperation received. I .am new to the
college and want all concerned to know
that the ·s plendid cooperation i·s appreciated.
At your se1·vice,

Dear Editor:

Rules Drawn Up
Since the majority of girls at
the dormitory are new, a meeting
was ca11ed to acquaint the girls
with the old rules and to formulate new ones to fit the changed
conditions. Three of these, of interest to outsiders, are:
1.
2.
3.
On Tuesday and Thursday nights
from 6:30 to 7:30, dancing for all
college student.s in the recreation
room. A committee will be ap·
pointed to take charge of the
dances.
Closing hours (everyone in) at
10 o'clock school nights and at 12
o'clock week-end nights.
Pers
will, however, be given upon
request.
Friends may be entertained in the
living room from 7:30 to 10:00
o'clock.
There is every indication that
the inaugurated new scheme will
work out successfully and will,
and their ulti- undoubtedly, remain a permanent
feature.
''The band is perfect instrumentally, '' says Mr. Michelsen,· ''and
consequently is somewhat short of
music, because it has never been
necessary for me to order for such
a number and variety of instruments. I hope to have the necessary parts soon, and with the help
of the FERA men who are in the
music department, to have them
properly filed away."
With football games coming
soon, no time can be wasted in
getting down to work. Marching
practice includes counter-marching, military corners, obliques,
etc., and has already begun. At
each band meeting, some time is
devoted to the playing of stirring
marches, which are calculated to
incite our football warriors to
greater efforts and more worthy
achievements.
Much Color
In addition to the effect produced by the beautiful new uniforms which were purchased last
year, the band stand wi~l be still
further enlivened this year by the
display of the two new banners
which were presented to the band
by the Seniors of 1933-34. Mr.
Thompson has made stands for
these banners, and they will be
ready for the first home game.
As a formal concert has been
scheduled for an early date, work
is beginning on the program for
this event. Although some of practice time is spent in playing
marches, the great part of the rehearsal period is given to work on
the concert repertoire.
Had Rapid Growth
The band, as an organization,
and in its present form, began in
1931. In its first year, it had only
thirty members; in 1932, forty
members; and last year, fifty-six.
This year, if Mr. Michelsen's expectations are fulfilled, we will
have a full seventy-piece concert
group.
STUDENT DIRECTORY
BEING COMPILED

for the coming year as well as the
full name and address and telephone number of all the members
of the faculty. Each student who
completely filled out his registration cards will find his name, year
in college, home address, city
address and telephone number
listed.
Every student and faculty member should have a copy of the directory at hand throughout the
entire year.

Tau Gam Tea
During the Home Economics
Convention in New York City,
the last week in June this · summer, there was held a very enjoyable meeting ·o f the Alumnae of
this college.
They met on Thursday June 28,
for luncheon at the Susan Palmer
Tea Room on West 49th Street.
There were fourteen that sat
down to the table, and after a
most delicious luncheon, they
spent some time reminiscing about
college clays at old C. S. T. C. and
reading the many newspaper
clippings which Miss Fenwick
had brought with her describing
the Fortieth Reunion Anniversary
at Stevens Point. Everyone at
this meeting expressed a hope
that the meeting would l;le but the
forerunner of many to follow in
New York. Everyone felt certain
that more graduates could be
gathered together in New York
for the future reunions. Those
who were present were:

The townspeople gazed with
wonder when they saw the horde
of seventy five college women
hiking out towards Waterworks

Athletic A.ssociation was a gay
one for all old girls had the opportunity ·Of renewing friendship
as well as b'C-coming acquainted
with ·o ur new young fry who are,
if I must say, a peppy lot. With
them to help us, this year is going
to be one of our busiest and happiest. Sizzling hamburgs, doughnuts, coffee, and apples made up
a satisfying menu and called for
after dinner speeches. Ruth Wagner, 1934's president, introduced
the sport heads, each of whom
told about the high spots of her
particular division. After a few
gay songs we hiked for home
hoping that each girl might have
discovered some sport she was interested in and would join us in
our fun during the year.
Archery
The fall sports were begun this
week and with a great bang.
There were 15 out Monday afternoon for archery. Evelyn Dumbleton is taking charge of it this
year and promises us fun and a
lot of competition. Dr. Culver has
given to W. A. A. a prize for the
girl making the highest score in
a Columbea Round. If you don't
know what that is come out Monday night at 4 o'clock.
Tennis
A fall tennis tournament that
will help line up girls for spring·
competition has already been organized by Maxine Miner. Those
who are entered are: Lolita Week,
Eleanor Crummey, Nina Belle
Damon, Edith Gottschalk, Marian
Gaffney, Dorothy Weber, Eileen
Hanson, Dorothy Gilbertson, and
Magdalen Wolf. It will be pleasant, though probably not actually hot, on the courts for some time
so get the last inch of life out of
this summer's balls.

sport, 1s scheduled for \Veclnesday nights with a second night
to be decided. With eleven members nescled for a team we can
use a heap of players.

there are special riding rates given to college students this year

a certain number sign for it. Physical education credit is given for
this. All those interested in a class

One hundred forty teachers
from the rural and graded schoolS
of Portage county attended the
Portage County Teachers Institute, held here in the maw assembly Friday, September 14. "Miss
Marion Bannach county superintendent of schools, was in charge
of the convention. She was assisted by Miss Rowena Allen, the supervising teacher.
Mr. Neale, head of the rural department of C. S. T. C., spoke to
the assembled teachers. His topics
were "Citizenship in Our Schools"
and "Our Courts" in the morning
session of the assembly, and in the
afternoon he addressed thelll. on
"General Plan for Teaching a Picture''.
Fine Attendance
All of the rural and graded
school teachers of the county, and
the high school civics teachers,
were present at the institute. According to Miss Bannach, ''The
attendance was perfect.''
Miss Bannach also remarked,
"\V e were unusually fortunate in
having Mr. Neale with us," and
she commented on the fine spirit
and attitude displayed by the
teachers throughout the institute.
Training School Enrollment Equals fast Year's
On September 11, the same day
that college students enrolled, the
Training School held its enrollment and examinations. Classes
began on Wednesday, the 12th. Of
the former faculty, all are back
except 1\Ir. Davidson and Miss
Brown.
According to available figures
for enrollment, this year's student
body will be somewhat larger than
that of last year. The first day
figure this year was 245, in comparison with 240 on the corresponding clay last year. Although
the 1933 total for the first quarter
was 251, 6 more than now, it is expected that subsequent arrivals
will cause the enrollment for 1934
to exceed this figure. At present,
the number of students in each division is as follows: Primary, 82;
Intermediate, 84; and Junior High
School, 79.
Painters have been busy for
some time now repainting the
stairways and halls of the school.
The library is also undergoing a
few important changes.

It is characterized by larger and
more free movements than tap or

Good news out of the football
camp has to do with the return
of Frank Menzel to college and
the squad. Ben Slotwinski and
Jim McQuire are also most welcome additions to the Pointers.
Much Bad .News
Perhaps the most disconcerting
note is the failure of Ray Nugent,
1933 all-conference fullback to return
to school. Ray
has
entered
the C. C. C.
Camp and recently received a promotion; because
of this fact
Nugent deems
it inadvisable
to
re-enter
school, at
least, this semester.
Ray Nugent
George
Breitenstein, a pal of Nugent,
who was a capable reserve end,
has obtained a job in the city
which will not allow him to return to school. The absence of
these two men will be sorely felt.
The Pointer camp has not been
entirely free of injuries. Milton
Anderson is ailing with a trick
knee; Becker has a bad ankle and
knee; McDonald, Unferth and
Beppler have varied leg injuries.
These injuries may keep the men
from the lineup Saturday.
Large Squad To Go
As the Pointers swing into action the starting lineup is still in
doubt. A large sqaud will make
the trip to Saint Cloud, and many
of the new men will be called
upon during the course of the
game. During the practices this
week Becker, Beppler, Murray,
Fritsch, Chartier, Steiner, Johnston, Unferth, I.Jampe, Benson,
Dagneau, Anderson, and Zurfluh
have been used in the backfield.

Football Injuries Are

Schwahn Assists
Coach Kotal
Dick Hyland, former Stanford
University star, and all American
halfback, writing in the current
issue of Good Housekeeping magazine, has many things of interest
to say to young men in college
who intend to coach or become
playground directors.
Hyland says that, in his opinion,
almost all the deaths for which
football is blamed occur in high
school and sand-lot games and
scrimmages, and that no deaths
and few injuries occur in professional and college games. He
lays this to the fact that football,
when played under rules by properls: trained athletes phy~ically
eqmpped for the g~me, IS not
dangerous, but that It has many
~angers ~or young 'boys who .run
mto their oppone1_1ts head first,
and who are ~either. properly
garbed nor physically fit.

Steiner Explains Rules
At Confe-rence Meeting
At a meeting held at Wausau
last Thursday, Dean Herbert R.
Steiner explained to an assemblage of Wisconsin Valley High
School football coaches and officials the new grid rules and
changes. Another meeting was
held at Stevens Point on last Monday evening with a final get-together at Rhinelander, Sept. 24.
Represent Valley District
Mr. Steiner, in addition to having been a, player and coach, is
now the oldest officiator in the
Wisconsin Valley in point of
service. He is a member of the

Was surprised the other evening - took in football practice

and one-half hours ... quite a bit

stunts. . . other drills on fundamentals... some still pretty red
in the face .. .' Kotal'll take that

glamour. . . music... cheers ...
excitement. . . suspense. . . outcome in doubt ... applause for the
hero in the play (home team) ...
Bronx cheers for the villain in the
play (referee or possibly other
team)... a great dramatic spectacle. . . but public "little note
nor long remember" that, just as
the actors in a play put in long,
wearisome hours and days of rehearsal to be at their best for the
big performance... so do footbailers put in long, tortuous
hours ... rehearsals in signals ...
fundamentals. . . in lat~ summer

Causualties And Overconfidence
Ray Nugent, pile-driving fullback has not returned. . . Abel,
last year's great end prospect has
switched elsewhere. . . Schwahn,
Gregory, Klement, Scribner, and
Roy are gone. . . Mr. Herman
Kluge, astute coach of the Milwaukee Teachers, deplores his
own prospects, predicts pennant
for Purple and Gold. Gil Dobie,
old Cornell coach, wore out scads
of crying towels, "viewing with
alarm" his own teams' prospects,
while opposing coaches wore out
many pairs of pants sliding
around on benches as Dobie's
teams ripped the opposition to
shreds. "Gloomy Gil" - that's
what they all called him - but
somehow when it came to figuring up championships• Gil was
way ahead of the field. We refuse
to feel convinced, Mr. Kluge.
Gone But Not Forgotten
Francis Roman, class '32, is now
an instructor and coach at Marathon City. "Larry" Bishop is located at vVestfield, where he holds
a high school teaching position.
Theodore Rozelle, one time editor_
of the Pointer here, is an instructor in the Wausau Junior High
School. George Maurer, '34, is

officials expressed their pleasure
and satisfaction over the type of
illumination p r o vi d e d by the
72,000 watt system of forty-eight
reflectors, each of which has a
globe of 1,500 watts. Other Wisconsin Valley Coaches congratulated "Cabby" Ewers, Wausau

in football, although 'Dame Rumor

are balking, saying that continuous practice acclimated W ausan boys to the arcs, giving them
a decided advantage over opposing teams, unused to night huddles (on a football field). Possibly

According to witnesses, the car

The basketball player is more
popular than the debator but still
more people know the name of
Demosthenes than they do of the
great athletic heroes of Athens.
We don't know, and neither
does anyone else, what the outcome of the football season will
be. We do know that win, or lose,
or draw, the team that Kotal puts
on the field will be well grounded
in the fundamentals of the game.
His boys will tackle low and hard,
and their blocking will be vicious.
There are four outstanding reasons why we hav'e had successful
athletic teams since President
Hyer ushered in his New Deal
abOlJ,t four years ago. First, a man
of Kotal's standing in the field
attracts good prep school material. That may be done with or
without conscious effort on his
part. Probably both. Second, that
material is well taught. Third,
the coach has the personality to
handle a bunch of stars and make
them work together. He has an
intuition which tells him when
to humor and when to bully a
two hundred pound gaint. We believe that two years ago when
he handled that championship
basketball squad, every man an
all-conference man, he-- demonstrated that quite conclusively. It
would be foolish to assume that
those fellows were not human and
that petty jealousies did not arise
from time to time. In a tough
eighteen game schedule under
those circumstances the strain
must be terrific and the least little
discordant note might follow with
a general crackup. Fourth, the
cooperation of local business men
has made possible the support necessary to winning aggregations.
We would like to see Will
Schwahn, business manager of the
Iris, and Howard Kujath, business
manager of the Pointer, get together and compile a little data on

Science Department Has
Bumper Crop In Labs
The steady increase in enrollment during the last few years,
and a new rule requiring eight
hours of laboratory science in the
Junior college has caused a great
increase in enrollment in the various science courses. The enrollment figures have jumped this
year to 180 students in Biology,
165 in Chemistry, and 82 students
are enrolled in Physics.
Handling all of these students
in the laboratory and placing
them in sections is a great problem. Miss Jones, of the Biology department, commented, "It's a Chinese puzzle to find laboratory accommodations, but arrangements
satisfactory to all will be made."
Other science teachers· share Miss
Jones's view.
