To the Editor:
I was quite provoked at the little
amount of space given to the notice
of class elections in the last issue of
the POINTER. The only announcement made was that elections would
be held on Friday, November 12.
There was absolutely no list of the
candidates for the various offices in
each class.
I am sure that President Hansen
wanted a list of candidates printed in
the issue of the POINTER just before elections were to be held.
Another thing which "gflped" me
and perhaps others like me,-too, was
the large amount of space devoted to
the articles about the Pan-Hell dance
and pledging. Those activities, especially pledging, affect only a small
percent of the entire student body,
whereas a matter like class elections
affects everyone in school.
There should be articles about the
activities of the sororities, but they
should not take the headlines away
from matters like class elections
which affect every student here.

Dear Editor :
"iirst of all, I received the welcome POINTER at mail call last
night, and "no kiddin" it was swell.
You should be commended for your
swell work. To say the least, it is a
very thrilling sight to see the CSTC
special thrown at you................ We
have a nice set-up here. Plenty of
hard, long work though, and the

The experiences of former CSTC
students now in the army, navy, and
air forces have been both humorous
and serious. The following paragraphs, taken from the letters of
former students of this college, present both these views.

What do you think of the
Campus Canteen?
Harvey Garrett, New Rochelle,
N.Y.:
"I think it's terrific, just a little bit
on the dry side. One of the best
ideas is the j'unior hostesses."
R. E. Conlon, San Jose, Calif.:
"The Campus Canteen is a gr.and
idea and very helpful to the boys
with no regular PX available. I
should say the morale of the boys
has been lifted 100% through efforts
of the junior hostesses."
Jerome Jackson, Brooklyn, N.Y.:
"Well organized!"
Paul J. Leahy, Cedar Rapids, Ia.:
"Provides an enjoyable evening
for everyone concerned."
Clifford E. Glover, Baraboo, Wis.:
"OK-Hostesses are swell and refreshments sure hit the spot."
Edward Esposito, Paterson N.J.:
"Makes a fellow feel good to be
around; he can enjoy himself lots
more."
"My stay in India can be an education in itself if I can possibly find
time and ways to see and do things.
This post is not so bad. There is a
really nice American Red Cross Service club in the field and w~ certainly like it. It is a priceless gem in
the midst of nothing in the way of
American things. Here in India
prices for both native and imported
goods are just outrageo~sly high: I
don't plan to purchase any Indtan
goods at all as it is a waste of money.
However I'm collecting coins of the
various native states and far eastern
countries."

will appear in the next issue.)

The news has come from the former G.l. columnists, Bob Dever and
Bill Holden, that their barracks was
the only one to pass the first inspection at Santa Ana. The squadron left
Stevens Point on October 29.
Was it the "Gawgia" boys who
were out for P. T. on Monday and
were running around the track in
their abbreviated gym suits singing
"Jingle Bells"? Must be the result
of their wonder and delight at the
Wisconsin snow.
Fred Bigold left the arms of Mary
Ann for the arms of Morpheus Saturday night, returning to his first
love shortly after breakfast.
It isn't every soldier who would

·Myrtle the skeleton is really Pistol
Packin' Mama's Grandma. Myrtle is
the dried up assemblage of bones
that has hung on h~r stand in the
bacteriology lab for many years.
Grandma is a skinny soul, and the
other day the boys of the last squadron E, flight 2, took pity on her and
rigged up a classy fall outfit. She
now wears a two piece dress of
bandages. A gay, red kerchief
adorns her head, and cozy grey stadium boots cover her feet because
her circulation is poor.
Myrtle's paper eyes are growing
dim, many of her ribs are broken,
and she doesn't tote a pistol any
more, but the old gal's mighty
proud of her rootin', tootin' family.
She keeps a newspaper clipping
about Pistol Packin' Mama's Pa

wherever she goes.
