now "Joe College", and as such is entitled to certain benefits and ,guidance from the government. Irt Stevens Point the place for him to find
out just "what gives" is the Counciling Center located here in th~ college.
The Center is open to all returned
veterans from this area, who wish to
go into some vocation and a~e entitled to receive the services it renders. E. T. Hawkins is in charge of
this veterans' guidance program,
with Arthur Unger and George
Riley as assistants. They contact the
vets and schedule appointments for
them.
Joe then reports for his preliminary interview, which lasts about an
hour. During this time, Mr. :Hawkins discusses his family background,
former education, interests and hobbies, previous working experience,
and just what job, technical or
otherwise he qualified for in the
service and, last but not least what
Joe, himself, has been considering.

Joe then reports to Dr. Nels 0.
Reppen and Mrs. Allie Schunk to
take a series of tests that have been
determined by the interview. Joe
must take about five tests in the
course of • three

•
tests pertammg to intelligen¢e, interest, personality and mec4anical
aptitude. All of these are ·tdts approved by the Veterans' Administration.
When he is through with these,
he has an interview with Dr. Reppen. They go over all the results and
determine which vocation is best.
Then they both report to Mr. Hawkins and' the three of them talk it
over. The objective chosen must be
something Joe can go into after
graduation, something practi~al for
which his education will prepare
him.
The brief on his case must be ;ent
to the headquarters at Wood, Wisconsin, for approval, after which
they send it back and Joe is notified
to start his training program,' \vhich
comes under the jurisdiction of Mr.
Riley. He helps Joe choose his: school
and aids him in choosing t4e subjects to be taken.
So far 46 "Joes" have . reported
for this guidance and their advisement is completed. In· helping each

Mardi Gras is a French expression
meaning fat Tuesday, and refers to
an obsolete French custom of leading a fat ox through the streets during the festival parade usually held
just before the Lenten season.
Climaxes Th~Season
In America it has been celebrated
by the people of New Orleans since
1827. In that city, Mardi Gras Day
is the climax of a carnival season.
From dawn until sunset, the streets
are filled with masked revelers in
costume.
At CSTC the Mardi Gras has
been held in many forms. One of
the first was the Fair and Supper
which started about 1907. Later this
evolved into a vaudeville affair in
which each college organization had
a part. Outstanding skits were frequently put on by the faculty. The
object of these events was to make
money for the Pointer and Iris.
Later it was decided to have this
festival in the spring and call it the
Mardi Gras. This, also, has varied
from a large carnival with stunts,
games and dancing to just a plain
costume ball.
considered friendly. (But, men, the
motto of Wisconsin is "Forward"!).
When you're walhng with some
honey down Main street lane, there's
only one place for the fellow and
you know where-but two gals and
one fellow may confuse the proper
thinking. The lucky fellow in this
case still takes the curb side.
Since eating is always bound · to
present · itself in the conversation,
are you in the know about who orders the hamburgers and malteds
(more power to you if it turns out
to be steak) when you actually do
have a waiter at hand? The old rule
recommended that a gal gave her
order to her date, who in turn gave
it to the waiter, who had· patiently
been standing by with a deaf ear. It
is now agreed that the simplest way
is for each to give his own order to
the waiter, the girl first.
And, girls, hair combing in public
is still taboo-for sanitary as well as
social reasons-so let's keep it as private as brushing teeth. As for makeup, touch up a bit if you must ~mt if
you aren't smooth enough graoously
excuse yourself to the powder room.
These few reminders ought to give
you a fair start at being a personality who 'knows his "pleases" and
"thank yous" - a personality· who
knows that good manners are merely
appreciation of other people's sensi-.
iblities.
