Marine Theme Chosen
For Dance Dec. 14
Jack Vincent, general chairman of
the Senior Ball to be held December
14, announces that Bill Benson and
his ten piece orchestra of Bristol
have been contracted to play for the
annual "Big" class social event of
the year.
Initial Appearance Here
Benson's band will be new to this
territory, however their music is well
known to dance enthusiasts in the
southern and eastern parts of the
state. "Music with a fashion" is the
by-word of the orchestra which fea•
tures specialties built around vocal
and sax trios.

President Jerry Torkelson has appointed committee heads to handle
the arrangements for the Ball. Besides general chairman Vincent are
Marjorie Jacobs and Katherine Mozuch in charge of the decorations;
Earle Siebert, music; Don Krider,
publicity; Rita Russell, invitations
and chaperones; Louise Reese, refreshments; and Bob Nixon, tickets
and programs.
Marine Theme
The Ball, irr keeping with the custom of the past several years, will be
held in the training school gymnasium. "Twenty Leagues Below the
Sea" has been chosen the theme for
the event, and the decorations committee announces that elaborate plans
have been made to build a "real under the sea" setting. Bob Nixon will
begin the advanced ticket sales campaign shortly. The price of admission is $1.50 per couple.

DO WE WANT A STUDENT SENATE?
There has been considerable discussion during the past few
weeks concerning the possibility of a student senate for C.S.T.C.
To upper classmen
this question is not a
new one. Several attempts have b e e n
made in the past
few years to stimulate interest in a student body w h i c h
would assist in conducting the affairs
of the students as a
whole. There can be
no doubts as to the
desirability of such
a body, but the STUDENTS OF THE
COLLEGE MUST
BE
WHOLEHEARTEDLY IN
FAVOR OF SUPPORTING AND
PARTICIPATING
IN SUCH A VENTURE. Apparently most of the organizations in the college are already behind the plan - it is
now time for the STUDENT BODY AS A WHOLE TO VOICE
ITS OPINION. We of the Pointer Staff urge the use' of the Student Sparring column for that purpose. In order to gain a measurable success in a student senate of any kind there must be FAIR REPRESENTATION, and fair representation can come ONLY
FROM A STUDENT BODY WILLING TO PARTICIPATE.
This is a matter of GIVE as· well as TAKE...... let's have your
opinions, students!

Dr. E. A. Ross, Professor
Emeritus of Sociology at the University of Wisconsin, will address

OMEGA MU CHI SORORITY
One of the outstanding organizations on the campus is Omega Mu
Chi Sorority. Founded in 1926, and
still a comparatively young organization, this sorority has taken an active part in all school functions.
Omega Mu Chi is well represented
in college activities, especially in the
fields of forensics, dramatics, honorary fraternities, and literary productions. In the social whirl of C.S.T.C.
the Omegas have been given notable
recognition. Billie Weed Menzel, the
wife of our assistant athletic coach,
is an alumnus of whom the Omegas
are .especially proud. Zelphia Webster, a teacher at Osseo, promoted
much "Zip" to the Mardi Gras
when she presided as queen for the
evening. Evelyn Schwingle, a senior,
made a charming partner for Jerry
O'Doherty as queen of the senior
ball last year. Nancy Steiner, the
daughter of our Dean of Men,
reigned as regal queen at the Junior
Prom last year. A glance through

The 1940 tuberculosis ghristmas
Seal, picturing happy, healt9y young
people singing Christmas songs, is a
direct appeal to youth to help itself
in the year round organized fight
against tuberculosis.
"Tuberculosis is the foe of youth,"
says the well-known slogan.! "Tuberculosis is the leading disease cause of
death in the all important a~e group
from 15 to 45," say the ~tatistics,
based on dafa from all over the

I
Through the years since then, the
money raised in the Seal campaigns
has made possible the organized
fight against tuberculosis. And dur- ,
ing these years, Wisconsin has seen
the death rate from the dirsease cut
steadily from 109.8 per 100,1000 population to 27.7.
Christmas Seal funds h~ve made

It seems we have an apology to offer
this week; an apology to Bud Menzel.
This department has been on the receiving end of no little amount pf criticism
because we failed to mention the fact
that Bud had suffered a fracture of his
arm during the Milwaukee fracas. Bud
would be the last one to even think of
the incident as a slight, but a number of
his well wishers have felt otherwise and
in no uncertain terms have. made themselves heard. Therefore we do hereby offer public apology to Bud Menzel and
we sincerely hope that his arm is on the

cated at strategic centers throughout
the country are utilized by the Air
Corps for this phase.
There they spent ten weeks learning the fundamentals of pilotage on
rugged 200 horse-power army biplanes. Each Flying Cadet logged
about 65 hours of flying time, about
half of it solo. All aerial maneuvers
from landings and take offs to loops
and snap rolls were mastered.
In September all were assembled
at Randolph Field, the Air Corps'
giant flight training school in south
Texas, for their basic flight training .
The Flying Cadets stepped from
their low powered primary training
plane into a 450 horse-power low
wing basic trainer, cruising speed
about 150 miles an hour.
Seventy-five additional f 1 yin g
hours have been acquired on this
type craft, which embodies many of
the features of a 1941 combat plane .
They got their first taste of night
flying, making take offs and landings in the darkness, aided by the
glare of huge flood lights. Instrument flying, commonly t e r m e d
"blind flying" has been in their
course of training at Randolph Field.
Ahead of them lies the final step
in the transformation of a young
college man into a full-fledged military pilot. At Kelly Field they will
