school faculty two new members. At
the college, Quincy Doudna of Poynette is now director of the rural

summer session. Last winter he was
in LaCrosse teaching biology and
general ,science at Logan high school.
He received his B.E. in rural education and in secondary education from
CSTC, and his M.A. from the University of Iowa. Mr. Peterson enjoys

been at Ripon college teaching chemistry. He received his B.A. from
St. Olaf college, and his Ph.D. from
the University of Wisconsin. Dr.

A number of freshman students
who have entered CSTC this September are the recipients of scholarships equivalent is value to the payment of all incidental fees.
Wisconsin state law authorizes all
state colleges to extend two types of
scholarships to high school seniors
who intend to come to college. The
type A scholarship is given to students with highest high school
averages; the number depends upon
the size of the school's enrollment.
The type B scholarship is granted to
people who are "good students, in
financial need, and possess qualifications for leadership".
Freshman who have reecived the
type A scholarship are: Shirley
Brown, Stoughton; James Buelow,
Bancroft; Earl Cotter, Montello;
Eugene Diercks, Neillsville; Yvonne

Pointers Will Meet
Oshkosh Saturday
Mr. Schmeekle
Receives Honor
Central State Teachers college
makes its football debut this Saturday against Oshkosh State Teachers
college. The game will be played at
Oshkosh at 2 o'clock in the afternoon.
This is the first time in more
than two years that CSTC has had a
football team. This year's team does
not measure up to pre-war teams,
either in strength or in experience.
Except for several players with football experience, the team is generally
an inexperienced one. Experienced
players around whom the team will
be formed are : Brekke, Burt, Dineen, Kunde, Laszewski, Lundquist,
Nikolai, Piotrowski, and Quinn. The
team on the whole is eager and willing, and should develop into a
strong and aggressive unit.
Tilts With High School
Fred J. Schmeeckle, head of the
chemistry department, has been signally honored by being chosen a
member o( a national committee on
conservation education.
The committee was organized at
the request of the Isaac Walton
League of America and the first
meeting was held in Chicago last
Friday. Mr. Schmeeckle is the only
Wisconsin representative on the committee, which is composed of educators from various parts of the United States. Dr. Scott from the University of Wyoming is chairman of
the group.
The members will act as a steering
committee and will work in cooperation with the United States Derartment of Education and the National
Education association to further conservation work.
Tuesday evening the college team
had a preliminary scrimmage with
the high school, Coach Berg's plan
being to familiarize the members of
the team with their plays and respective positions.
Tentative line up for the Oshkosh
game will be: L. E., Judd, Lundquist,
Salter; L. T., Rieves, Nikolai; L.G.,
Firkus, Bartkowiak; C., Kunde,
Spangle; R. G., Przybylski, Mellin;
R. T., Quinn, Strosin; R. E., Piotrowski, Stange; Q., Laszewski, Zieper; L .H., Hartman, Buelow; R. H.,
Hardina, Burt; F., Brekke, Dip.een.
Future games which are currently
scheduled to be played here in Stevens Point include games with Milwaukee and with Whitewater. The
dates for the games are: Milwaukee,
October 13; Whitewater, October 20.

Mr. McCarty Speaks
Harold B. McCarty of Madison,
director of the Wisconsin School of
the Air, was the guest speaker at the
regular assembly period this morning.
Students found his topic, "What's
Ahead In Radio", very interesting
as well as educational.
More assembly programs of this
kind are being planned by the Assembly committee, which is made up
of Leland M. Burroughs, chairman,
Miss Gertie Hanson, Joseph Mott
and Peter J. Michelsen.
. During the year the various organizations of the college will have an
opportunity to arrange and conduct
some of these programs.
Raymond M. Rightsell, director
of the division of secondary education and chairman of the department
of science at Central State Teachers
college, has been appointed as instru~tor in physics at the Army Universtty Center at Biarritz, France.
Mr. Rightsell has been granted a
year's leave of absence. He is scheduled to be in Washington, D. C. on
October 8, and will leave for overseas shortly after that day.
The Army University center at
Biarritz is one of those being established in the European theatre of
op~r ati?ns as a means of offering _
untverstty educational facilities to
men in the armed forces who are remaining overseas to serve in the
ar~y of occupation. Mr. Rightsell
wtll serve as a uniformed specialist in
the U.S. Army at the center.
Prepares for Overseas
Mr. Rightsell spent Friday arJ
Saturday at Camp McCoy being processed for overseas duty. Wives are
not allowed to accompany the instructors, and Mrs. Rightsell will remain in Stevens Point for the present.
Mr. Rightsell has been a member
of the faculty. at CSTC for 25 years.
He was co-ordinator and director of
training for the Civil Aeronautics
administration and the 97th College
Training detachment while it was
stationed here.
As yet, President William C. Hansen has not appointed anyone to take
Mr. Rightsell's place in the physics
department.
Students and faculty wish Mr.
Rightsell "Bon Voyage". They feel
that the appointment is a distinct
compliment to him and to the college.

"\Vith your Help • • • •
The POINTER staff is happy to welcome a new Freshman class to the
halls of CSTC. It is our hope that you may find here the genuine friendliness for which Central State is noted.
It is an added pleasure for us to say "hello" to many old friends who
have returned. We want you to again look to,the POINTER 'for the same
complete and impartial news coverage which it has given in the past.
Because of the lack of money in the activities fund, our money is necessarily limited. For this reason. we shall have to run more ads than usual.
CSTC students should be proud of the fact, however, that this college
publishes a paper every week. Many other State Teachers Colleges have
been forced to discontinue their weekly publications.
The POINTER is your paper. We will welcome any suggestions which
you may wish to make to us. The year ahead promises to be an outstanding one. With your help, we shall strive to make the 1945-46 POINTER
equally outstanding.

"Hail, Hail The Gang's All Here,"
echoed up and down Nelson Hall
Sunday night, September 9, as Dormites old and new snake-danced
down third a:nd second floors to the
living room for a "Big Sister" patty. Weariness and just a wee bit of
homesickness disappeared w.nder the

Sunday had been a busy day with
dozens of girls coming into the

the business of unpacking. Bare
rooms were transformed by gay bedspreads, drapes, and dressing tables.
Someone appropriately suggested
changing Nelson Hall's name to

dressing tables. Refreshments of
cookies and coffee were served in
the living room for Dormites and

Summer School Proves
Busy but Interesting
(By one who slaved at summer school)
Summer time - but the living
wasn't easy, at least not for the eager
beavers who attended summer school
at CSTC. Nor was it easy for the
professors who had to put plenty of
work into eleven weeks. However,
in spite of the fact that no one was
allowed many leisure moments, summer school was fun.
One of my best recollections is of
Doc Tolo playing an enthusiastic
first base at the all school picnic. We
had two picnics-and the sun didn't
shine either time! The food was
good, thougP,, and who could as~ for
better company? It was a tome to
watch students and teachers alike let
down their hair and have fun.
Outstanding among the assembly
programs was one which featured
Dr. Harlan Tarbell, famous magician. He entertained, amazed and
completely mystified everyo?e present with his demonstratwn of
"blind sight". It would be to doubt
. President Hansen's integrity to imply that Dr. Tarbell used trickery,
because our president personally supervised the blindfolding.

before the end of school. At six

Church seemed to be in order on
that night, and so nearly every student attended the thanksgiving services, touring the town afterward.
Oddly enough, though, the seven
o'clock classes were well attended
next morning. School went on even
during the two days of national
holiday. The policy of CSTC seems
to be "carry on", no matter what. It
would be interesting to be present
when Gabriel blows his horn, just
to know whether there would be
classes as usual.
And then, almost before it had
started, summer school was over.
The graduates, impressive in their
robes and mortar boards, filed in to
the auditorium to the strains of
·"Pomp and Circumstance", listened
to the address given by Dr. M. H.
Willing of the University of Wisconsin and received their degrees or
diplomas. For them, college was
over. For the rest of us there was a
two weeks' vacation before college
began again. Well, here we are!

Dr. Gibson worked part time
summers while he was in high school
and college and full time for three
years for a map company as field representative. With 'Indianapolis as
headquarters, h~ tra_veled in 30 states,
dealing mostly w1th schools and
educators in the Middle West. He
thinks selling or similar work is
good background for teaching, becaus~ constantly meeting people and
standing on one's own feet calls for
responsibility and resourcefulness.
Dr. Gibson is fond of golf and
fishing-lake fishing. He would like
to learn something about trout fishing, though.

Says Dr. Gibson of the Trammg

any teacher is bridging the gap between theory and practice, and the
function of the Training school is to
demonstrate that the professional
courses. taught in the college have
practical application in the classroom."

Miss Allen Relates
Highlights of Trip
Miss Bessie May Allen, home
economics chairman at CSTC, spent
a month vacationing in Mexico. Her
headquarters were Mexico City, and
from there she traveled east and
west by car.
"Mexico", states Miss Allen, "is
just as we read about it in history
books. The people speak Spanish
and little English. There is great
class distinction, ranging from the
wealthy business man to the peon.
These peons still carry on the art of
handicrafts. They make woven goods,
silver jewelry, and lacquer work.
Little machinery is found. in Mexico,
and all this work is done by hand, as
is the field work. The ox is still the
beast of burden, and very few horses
are used."
The bull fights are still the main
attraction in Mexico, and people of
every class attend them. Miss Allen
attended a bull fight while she was
in Mexico, and she thoroughly enj,oyed it. The stadium in which it
was held seated 75,000 people that
day. Plans are being made for a new

stadium which will seat 125,000
.people.
Mexico City is a very beautiful
city, Miss Allen thinks. The buildings, as a rule, are low. The highest
one is eight stories. The reason for
the low buildings is that the city is
built in a swamp land and h~gh,
heavy buildings sink very readily.
The Palace of Fine Arts is sinking
more every day, because it is built of
a he(lvy marble. The streets are narrow and there is only one way traffic. Every day is market day and
people from near and far bring their
goods to be sold in the street.
The food in Mexico is highly
seasoned and the people enjoy, Spanish and American food. Miss! Allen
did not especially like the food because of the strong seasoning.
The climate averages 68° tp 75°,
comparable to our summer climate.
Orchids, gardenias and camelias are
grown everywhere. A box of these
flowers could be purchased for 75
cents.
"It is so much more interesting to
see these things than to read about
them", said Miss Allen.
