Winkler Memorial Announces Schedule To Talk at Assembly Be Student Directed
Three new books have been added
to the William L. Winkler MemoriaL They are: Origins of the American Revolution by Miller; the Music
Lover's Handbook, Siegmeister, and
The Year of Decision, 1848, DeVoto.
In each of these books as well as
those received earlier, Miss Mildred
Davis has inscribed in her beautiful
printing, Fuller Patterson's "Fliers'
Philosophy" : "It is unfortunate that
those of us who so keenly seek to
live the fullest life possible, must
take the long chances that in so many
cases cut it shortY A handsome book
phte depicting a plane in flight has
been provided especially for these
memorial books.
Among the recent books in this
memorial are a beautiful edition of
Don Quixote De La Mancha, by Cervantes, with wood engravings by
Hans Mueller; Frank's A Man Called Cervantes, the life of the author
of "Don Quixote"; Zweig's interesting Mary, Queen of Scotland and the
Isles, and Chilton's The Garment of
Praise, a book of literary criticism.
Winkler Killed in Training
William L. Winkler, who attended
CSTC from 1938-1940, was in training as an Aviation Cadet at Doorfield, Florida. He was killed there in
an automobile accident in September,
1942.
The students of CSTC feel that
they speak not only for themselves
but for future students, when they
express their appreciation for these
books. Books are truly a living memorial and within the spirit of this
gift there is an inspiration to the students as well as a stimulation of
library interest.
Better· Radio Listening is the goal
of CSTC's Radio Workshop. To this
end, the Workshop has set up a program schedule that will aid the
teacher in the intelligent use of radio in the classroom and encourage
worthwhile a d u I t listening. The
broadcasts are presented each weekday afternoon at 3 :15 over station
WLBL during the weeks that CSTC
is in session.
On Monday, the Workshop presents "Our College". This is a series
of programs planned to describe the
activities of the men and women
who are students at CSTC. Among
the interesting programs promised in
this series are musical broadcasts
featuring Max Kopchinski ~nd Shirley Haskins. Miss Susan Colman will
appear with news of our service men
three times during the semester, Leland M. Burroughs will lead in a
round table discussion ia May and
various departments of the college
will be reviewed.
On Tuesdays, Frank Kostuck reviews the new books of today in the
program entitled "Books and Authors." Jane Miller in "Your Storytime", presents, every Wednesday,
delightful stories for children in the
primary grades.
The Thursday programs will be
given by Alpha Kappa Rho, the
honorary music fraternity, for the
first nine weeks. This series will
be followed by nine weeks of programs featuring members of Sigma
Tau Delta, national honorary English
fraternity.
Norman E. Knutzen, on Friday
broadcasts will give "The Music AI·
bum", which is a study of music
types and a presentation of the music
of the nations.
Rabbi Joseph Utschen, Reverend
Clifford M. Fritz and Reverend
Donald Theisen will be. the speakers
at the general assembly to be held in
the auditorium on Thursday morning
at 10 :05. These three men of separate
faiths will lead a discussion on religious tolerance. After their discussions, opportunity will be given for
others to participate.
Rabbi Utschen is from the Synagogue Temple B'Nai Israel of Oshkosh, - Reverend Fritz is pastor of
Saint Paul's Methodist church of
Stevens Point, and Reverend Theisen, also of this city, is assistant
pastor of Saint Stephen's Catholic
church.
This program is presented under
the auspices of the National Conference of Christians and Jews. Students, as well as the general public,
are invited to attend this assembly.
Two CSTC Graduates
Will Be Ordained
Two graduates of CSTC, Gilbe.rt
Halverson and Clarence Solberg,
will be ordained into the ministry
of the Lutheran church next Sunday
evening, February 25, at 8 p.m., at
the First English Lutheran church in
Stevens Point.
Both men graduated from Luther

Washington Legends Misrepresent Facts
For 'a hundred and fifty
•
years the fine
character of
George Washington and his
heroic deeds
have been the
basis for sev~ r a I stories,
out man yo£
them are a
misrepresentation of the true facts.
Although many writers are responsible for placing Washington on a
pedestal and causing him to become
a frozen image for the Americans to
admire; Reverend Mason Weems, a
traveling preacher, writer, bookseller and fiddler, is the biographer
who can be held largely responsible
for many of the Washington legends.
In 1800, he declared: "Washington, you know, is gone! Millions are
gaping to read something about
him. I am nearly primed and cocked
for 'em. Six months ago I set myself to collect anecdotes about him."
The result of his work was a life
of George Washington which included the well known tale of the
cherry tree, which Parson Weems
had altered until it became a story

Sgt. John Clements, in Oahu, one
of the Hawaiian Island group, dedares in a recent letter: "Now I'm
on the island of Oahu, down here
where you hear so much talk about
the beautiful women and grass skirts.
As yet I've not seen what you might
call beautiful women, but- I imagine
they will get that way 'as time goes
on'!"
Lt. (j.g.) Robert Malecki, "Bob"
to his friends here, is in the Phillipines. He reports: "We went to a
native dance and they danced the
same as we do. The hit of the evening was 'You Are My Sunshine'. It
was an enjoyable evening. When we
left the island, it seemed like the end
of a Fitzpatrick travelogue."
Many students will remember Jean
Meydam who is now a private in the
WAC. She is studying physical therapy and is stationed in Denver. She
states : "The patients are good sports.
Sometimds their morale is way above
ours."
PFC Eldred Judd, who is now in
Burma, comments on receiving a recent .issue of the Pointer. He says, "I
was surprised at what most of the
students wanted for Christmas. There
is ,- only one thing the fellows want
over here and that's for the war to
end."
Pvt. Olingey Visits Paris
PFC LaVerne Olingey in France
brings in some interesting sidelights
on his visit to Paris. "We have had
occasion to visit Paris and it came
way beyond my expectations. It l.s a
very beautiful place. We rode on the
metro, which surpasses even the New
York subway system. You can get
anywhere in Paris in very short order
by the metro. I'm hoping to be able
to see Katherine Cornell and Brian
Ahern in person in The Barrets of
Wimpole Street, which is now playing at one of the downtown theaters."

It was reported on the January 24
issue of the Echo Weekly from Milwaukee State Teachers college that
the national "Go to School" moveinent was getting a few results, even
from a member of the bird family.
An industrious pigeon sauntered
into the Harmony class and after
showing approval of the class in
progress, staged a flying exhibition
about the room. Since the bird refused to leave at close of class, he
was forcibly removed by two of the
students.
The following are two items of

Lt. Spindler W rit~s
Interesting .~ettet
Lt. Dearborn Spindler, somewhere
in Southern France, recently wi-ote an
extremely interesting lette~ describ·
ing his experiences thereto his mother, Mrs. Frank N. Spindl~r. Lt ..
Spindler's father taught at CSTC
from 1901 until the time of his death
in 1935 and Lt. Spindler is a graduate of CSTC.
·
The Pointer takes great pleasure in
printing part of Lt. Spindler's letter.
He says, "Southern France · is different than the States, but still not so
different as I thought it might be.
The biggest difference is just that
the land, the trees, lawns, houses
and people, even, seem older, mellowed, cultivated as compared to our
country. I liked it and appreciate the
fine things that this older culture
has to offer, but I like the freshness
and vitality of our land and its
people. There are just as many
things that they can copy from us
as we from them, perhaps more.
"We stayed out of town in the .
chateau of a countess. It alone was
an experience that I could not have,
most probably, in peacetime. The
place was luxurious, even now, and
most of the original furnishings and
decorations were left. There were
huge oil paintings, marble statues,
ornate glass chandeliers and wrought
iron filigree everywhere one looked.
"The stables, now ·the messhall,
were almost as large and well-built
as the house of the countess itself.
The only difference seemed to be
the substitution of regular globes
for chandeliers and portraits of
horses instead of people. The family
crypt and chapel were on the
grounds, a )llost beautiful thing it
was too. The estate included a
forest of beautiful 'umbrella' pines,
numerous pools, a stream and !small mountain.
·
"The countess owns several 'other
chateaux much like this one. She
lives in a small house nearby apd haS
offered the use of her places to the
army. Her husband and son are both
dead."

President , Hansen misconstrues
"A Student's Criticism. "A. Student"
feels he speaks fo!, the majority of
CSTC students when he says that he
is more than pleased to have: grade

The main objection to ~he system
now prevailing is the time it takes
for students to 1receive their grades
after they . have been mailed •home~
The instructor, the office, the parents
and the high school principal all1lre
informed in advance of the student.
"A. Student" maintains that all· stu.!
dents are entitled to know their
grades as soon as possible. It is hard
to see anything wrong in this.t · ..
The president suggests th'at the
student ask his instructor for his
grades. In the past, many inst'r uctors
have refused to reveal this information. The office also · refuses to reveal grades to students. Why
couldn't an extra copy of grades be
given or mailed directly to the student, or, failing that, make the· information available at the record
office?

Dangers Lurk About ~a::~~~~l~ for beginners to carry a
't(Fountain of youth" . This se~ond method is acceptable
·
By Paul Pasternacki
The act of drinking is undoubtedly one .,pf the simplest in the every
<lay humdrum life of a CSTC stu·dent. One just opens one's mouth
and lets whatever liquid it is slide
<4>wn his or her gullet. If one is
lucky· the liquid is Scotch, but we
won't go into that here as this art~cle is on CSTC drinking fountains.
With this devilishly clever type of
drinking fountain one requires no,
cups: or glasses, thus avoiding.. all
posstble danger of ge~m car;ymg.
!he danger of drownmg well go
mto later.
. Many 'students, unaware of the
. dangers that lurk around this "fountain of youth", are very apt to suffer
painful surprises, to say nothing of
untold agony and ending up in a
Watery .grave, 1·f they are not fully
ac::quainted with its rather complicated mechanism. Therefore, it is the
purpose of this article to show our
many friends how to handle, these
contraptions in three distinct ways.
The first method is acceptable but
is not recommended. Here it is: Approach the fountain, and bending
over at an angle of 45 degrees, press
.the lever gently. When the stream
of cool, refreshing water strikes you
in the eye and cascades down your
face and collar, take a handkerchief
and ,wipe off the liquid. NOTE: It

but also ts not recommended: Approach the fountain guardedly, clasp
the lever firmly in one hand, but before pressing it, bend over and place
the mouth over the end of the faucet.
After the mouth is closed tightly
over the faucet, press the lever. This
will cause compression which will, in
turn, cause the water to gush out of
the ears, which will, in turn, cause a
bad case of seasickness to develop.
The third method is acceptable but
is not recommended. Here it is: If
you have a friend, and by this time
you certainly need one who possesses
a diver's helmet, by all means borrow it. Also purchase good serviceabJe raincoat, don said garment, and
with fire in both eyes, approach the
fountain determinedly and press the
lever. Results of this method have
