Mrs I:.ester Winkler of Florence,
Wisconsin have sent four books to
the coHege library. They are-Mission to Moscow, General MacArthur,
Berlin Diary, and Victory Through
Air Power. Others will be added
later. Similiar gifts have been presented to the Florence Public and
High School libraries, and form a
living · tribute. Special name plates
bearing the sketch of a plane in

book is printed the following inscripti<!>n by Fuller Patterson which
sums up so well the life of the Bill
Winkler we of CSTC knew: A

that those of us who love life most,
the very ones who so keenly seek to
live the fullest life possible, must
take the long chances that in so
many cases cut it short".
ARMISTICE OBSERVED
BY CSTC AT ASSEMBLY
A silent tribute to the men of
World : War I was paid by the students and faculty of Central State
on November 11 when, gathered in
the assembly, they faced the east for
one full minute of silence.
Adrian LaBrot, president of the
student council, introducing President 1-lansen to the asembly as the
newly elected president of the WEA,
congratulated him on behalf of the
student body and assured him of
their support. In a short talk President Hansen said that the theme of
education week this year was "Education for Freemen", and asked the
students to observe National Education Week. Mr. Hansen also told of
the progress made in the field of education' since the last war.
Dean H. R. Steiner, head of the
history .department, traced the course
of ·the last war in his address, with
special · emphasis on the part the
United : States took in it. He augmented: his talk with comments on
the pre~ent war and comparisons of

A. S. Lyness, Registrar
the library has placed several new
books on display. There are books
of every sort - war stories, humor
and tragedy, art and poetry-something to suit every student here at
college. So arrange to spend an hour
or two in the library this. week.
Look through these books and pick
out those that please you. Besides
being thoroughly entertained you
will imbibe a great deal of profitable
information. For instance: How
much do we really know about our
state? Who was the first white man
to enter Wisconsin? When did Wisconsin become a state? Where did
the name "Wisconsin" originate?
These ·questions, and many others,
are answered in the newest addition
to the "Rivers of America" series,
"The Wisconsin", written by the
famous Wisconsin author, August
Derleth.
This book is not a dry array of
historical facts; it is, rather, a vigorous, living story of the growth of
our state. By reading this book we
learn the history of the- towns of
Wisconsin, and become acquainted
with "Old Bob" LaFollette. Through
it pass the big husky lumberjacks,
spinning their tall tales of the fabulous "hodag". We can vtew with
laughter the ladies' "whiskey war",
and chuckle appreciatively at the unprecedented exploits of Paul Bunyan. All in all, this book is one every
Badger ought to read, so watch for
its appearance on the library shelves.
Readers who like to follow the
underground movement is conquered
Europe will be interested in reading
Anna Segher's "The Seventh Cross",
and Allbrand's "No Surrender".
Nikolai And Eide

William Nikolai and Rachel Eide
were elected co-presidents of the
College Y at the regula~ monthly
meeting held last Friday evening,
Nov. 13. At the same meeting,
Joyce Stanton was elected secretary,
Charles Wildermuth was named
program chairman for the year and
Marion Grossman was appointed to
assist the s_taff with the necessary
publicity. The next meeting of the
organization will be on Dec. 11.
RURAL LIFE
The Rural Life meeting started off
Monday evening with a few peppy
minutes of community singing. The
program contained a variety of entertainment - a talk on her former
homeland, Canada, by Doreen
Moersfelder; a piano solo by Grace
Pudlas; discussions of Education
Week topics by several students and,
in conclusion, a vocal solo by ~Betty
Christenson.
Miss Seghers' book tells of the
thrilling escape of George Heister
from a Nazi prison camp, while Miss
Allbrand's book shows the Dutch,
while seemingly crushed beneath the
Nazi's iron heel, are constantly
working against the· Germans. Another very famous book on this subject is Steinbeck's "The Moon is
Down"; in this book Mr. Steinbeck
graphically portrays the steady cold
resistance a conquered people show
toward their conquerors. All of
these boks have been used by N . R.
Kampena in his most recent radio
talk "Novels of Underground Europe".
·
Other books dealing with the war
include "With Japanese Leaders". by
Frederick Moore, and "They Were
Expendable", the story of MacAethur's escape as told by William
White. The lighter side of the army
can be found in "See Here, Private

Friday, November 20, for on that
night, the pledges of the fraternities
and sororities will regretfully ( ?)
leave their tennis shoes, their burlap
underwear, and their bathing suits
behind-instead they will don gala
attire to attend the various formal
dinners. And then follows of course,
the event that is climax of pledging
-the Pan-Hellenic dance.
The long (long to the pledges, but
short to the actives) period of servitude will come to an abrupt end on
Friday after a hectic Hell week. Before the dinners, for:mal initiations
will be held by the respective organiziltions - "scums", "planktons••,
and "muds" will become "sisters"
and "brothers".
The Chi Delts will have theii,dinner at the dorm; Merle Jenks
will act as toastmaster.
The Tau Gams will hold their
banquet in the club dining room of
the Hotel Whiting.
The Phi Sigs' banquet will be held
at the Belmont; -Tom Wishlinski will
preside.
The Omegas will have dinner in
the main dining room of the Hotel
Whiting; Patty Markee will act as
toastmistress.

Soyou're Going To A Teaehers ~ollege ••••
You are supposedly preparing yourself to be teacher-or haven't you
really thought about it? If you haven't, it's about time that you did. A mod'ern teacher must not only teach the three R's, but also must prepare the
st~dent to take his place in society and to contribute his share to its impwvement.
At the present time there is a deplorable shortage of teachers. No,
they all haven't been drafted, nor have they enlisted in the armed forces;
many have left their teaching positions for higher paying war jobs. Most
likely they thought their teaching was not important.
Maybe there isn't anything that we can say to them right now, but
there is something that we who are still in college can do. After this fracas
is over, the need for good teachers is going to be greater than ever, ·not
. only on this side of the world, but "over there". In occupied territories of
Europe, the men and women who could think and teach the others have
been done away with. The greatest minds of modern Europe have been
destroyed because the Nazis want only the Germans to be the thinkers. We
shall have to prepare ourselves in such a manner that we shall be able to
take the .Places of _those Europe~n educators. Below we offe~ an excerpt
from Axts Oppresston of Educatton prepared by the Inter-Alhed Information Committee. After you read it, think again why you are going to a
teachers college.
"Early and wmpletely overrun," Poland has served as an unhappy laboratory for Nazi educational theories. The Germans announced with
complete cynicism that all intellectual life must disappear from Polish lands
and that the Poles be prepared to do physical work and service for the
·master Germans. Only technical and trade training is permissible, and that
not above a certain grade, so that the Poles may be merely useful while
Germans remain the experts.

a few weeks. Two went mad. The remamder, released only stx months la-.

Dear Mr. Harris:
I was very much interested: to see
your article appear lfi last week's
Pointer. I feel obligated to 4nswer
your statements in view of t!1e fact
that most of them leave the wrong
impression, or worse, do not give
any impression at all. To refresh
your memory, here is a brief outline of what you said. The effectiveness and value of your statements I
will leave to the judgement of the
readers of the Pointer after np.aking
a few clarifying statements of my
own. You say:
1) I don't like to be called i a colI
'
lege sophomore.
2) The counting of the ballots
was improperly supervised.
3) The constitution does no~ have
any provisions as to how elections
should be handled.
.
4) This is the fault of thosb who
wrote the · constitution last year, not
of the present council.
5) Don Walker did a poor job
on the council last year.
6) All criticism of the c:ouncil
should be taken directly to the council itself.
In regard to your first point : It
was stated in order to corrQct my
statement that two sophomores running for office counted thei~ own
votes. Your first point makes i~ clear
that only one counted his own /votes.
