High Purpose Of APO Sho"'n In Activities By Pat Scribner Alpha Phi Omega, national service fraternity, was recently organized on the esc campus by a group of former and presently active Boy Scouts. The purpose is "to assemble college men in the fellowship of the scout oath and law, to develop friendship and to promote service to humanity." This program includes four fields of activity, including: service to the student body and faculty; service to youth and community; service to members of the fraternity; and service to the nation as participating citizens. Tile APOs bave been approved by the school and the Samoset Boy Scout Council, and are in the process of "colonizing." Officers have been elected as follows: President, Gerald Knight, Wisconsin Rapids; vice-president, Ray Peabody, Stevens Point; secretary, George Becker, Stevens Point; treasurer, Dave Galecki, Stevens Point; sergeant-at-arms; Ara Sergenian, Madison; and historian, Don Smith, Edgerton. Tile faculty advisory committee is headed by Dr. Clifford Morrison, chairman, with Robert P. Anderson, Dr. George Dixon, Dr. Peter A. Kroner, and Norman E. Knutzen, members. The scout advisors are Richard Paul, Field Executive of Samoset Council, Wausau; Do:ri Varney, Stevens Point; and Art Crowns, Wisconsin Rapids. Committees have been set up for each special field. There are student committee chairmen with a faculty member in charge of each committee. The committees are: Program, Fritz Graves and Dr. Kroner; publicity, Norbert Brost and Dr. Morrison; service, Robert McCauley and Dr. Dixon; fellowship, Don Gustin and Mr. Knutzen; and membership, Conrad Glodowski and Mr. Anderson. One service project has been completed. The milk dispenser now in the basement was secured and arranged for by the service committee. The next job that they plan to tackle is face-lifting of the men's smoker. The publicity committee has offered its service to surrounding communities in the field of scouting. President Knight stated that pledging will take place some time in ·April. There are three requirements for active membership: first, the candidate must have had previous experience in the Boy Scouts; second, he must prove an earnest desire to render service to others; and third, he must have satisfactory scholastic achievement. Alpha Phi Omega was founded in 1925 at Lafayette College, Easton, Pennsylvania. There were fourteen charter members at the start. This has increased to 44,000 members in 2 7 6 chapters found from coast to coast. In Wisconsin, there are 10 active chapters. Other state schools having chapters are Milwaukee State College, Oshkosh, Stout, Eau Claire, and La Crosse.

The Pointer Mystery Man Contest came to it's conclusion on Friday of last week, January 21. The winner of the ten dollar first prize was Wendelin Frenzel who named Jim Stasko as the person in question. Frenzel's entry, the only correct solution submitted, was dated Wednesday, Jan. 19. His entry included solutions to clues 2, 5, and 7. His explanations of these clues are as follows: Clue 2. "A Friend- A King- A Son." This of course refers to the full name of our Mystery Man, James Leroy Stasko. James (a friend), Leroy (the king, in French), and Stasko (a son - his father's name - of course). Clue 5: No.9 Stevens Point, Wis., January 27, 1955 VOL. IV 2 19 70 152 5 5 ber (James Stasko) is the nest of the bird (Plover, Wis.) The 5 5 6 is the number of letters in his full name as we have explained. Pix Taken The Pointer staff picture will be taken today, Thursday, at 12:30 in the Pointer Office. All Pointer staff members are invited and urged to be there. February Grads Honored The six senior co-eds on the College Women's association board were hostesses at midsemester.

The second line of the clue referred to Jim's 70 inch height, his •weight of 152 pounds, and his age of .19 years. The last line, 5 5 6, merely stands for the number of letters in his full name. Clue 7. "His namesake: A Tudor or a Tooter." James I of England is shown as a descendant of Henry VII in the genealogy of the House of Tudor, and we are sure, y;ou are all acquainted with that great tooter, Harry James. For your added interest, here are all the solutions to the clues offered. Clue 1. "Though this clue may prove rather meager, We can only say he's a three plus leaguer." This particular clue referred to the distance traveled each day in his co.mmuting from Plover. The distance is computed in leagues. Clue 2. This was solved by Frenzel. Clue S.

Among these officers is a position that holds the prestige here on campus that the vice-presidency of the United States once held namely the forgotten man. These forgotten men are the press representatives, publicity chairmen, historians, or whatever you want to call them. The duty of th-ese unsung (and unknown) personages is to keep outsiders aware of what their organization is doing. However, duty is too often sadly neglected. Instead press representatives usually blithely ignore the tasks they are assigned to do, and it isn't until a news gathering agency (the Pointer may be considered as such) fails to run a story on the organization's big tea, social, or box lunch that something is discovered to be amiss. Then the Pointer is blamed for having its head in the sand. We plead partially innocent on the grounds that many of us on the Pointer-staff are slightly tied up with school work on the side and thus may not be aware of each election or hoedown held on this campus. Thus we would greatly appreciate having press representatives contact us of such goings on as they consider newsworthy. An elaborate story isn't necessary (we'll rewrite it anyway). Just jot down the essential fa-cts on a little piece of paper and either place it in the incoming copy basket in the Pointer office or, if you're the aggressive type, crumple it "up in a little ball and throw it at the editor. Seriously though, Sir Press Representative, we'd appreciate all the help you can give us. Thank you. ESG tlODS The Odyssey Of Homer The big assembly has come and gone and about 650 people spent an enjoyable evening listening to the music of Eddy Howard. The whole program was a great succe\s and we feel that one person should be singled out and thanked for his efforts. We'd like to take a few of the orchids Homer Plumb is so fond of giving out and throw them his way. As the President of the Student Council, Homer was almost personally responsible for the appearance of Eddy Howard, and when the students of CSC proved too lethargic to see a band that was "over the hill," Homer directed an out of school ticket campaign that reached the degree of a door-to-door sale at one period. We sincerely hope that the uncooperativeness of the CSC students in this first venture doesn't discourage Homer and the Council from their campaign to. get another name band 'next semester. Maybe the other half of the student body will have realized what they missed by then. No need to get somebody "big," Homer. Just another "has-been" like Eddy Howard! ESG .•.• ... FAMILIAR FACES MARGE GERHARD By Betty Holstein It all started as a birthday present! You see, Margie, the only ·child of the A. W. Gerhards, was born and reared in Wausau, Wisconsin. After graduating from high' school there, she attended Lawrence college at Appleton for two years. Her main interest centered on intermediate teaching, and since Lawrence offers only secondary education, her folks financed a summer school term at CSC for Margie's nineteenth birthday. This semester, 2~2 years later, she will graduate with a degree in intermediate education. Margie's first students will be a group of third graders at Neenah, Wisconsin. Extra-curricular activities have playe·d an important part in Margie's •schoot life> She's been active in 'Cimterbury, YGOP, College Theater ~ . j' and her bubbling sense of humor is well known around Nelson Hall. Margie's advice: "I want to encourage students to join the J;:ointer staff. Monday night pop corn sessions obviously agree with me." Margie's pet peeve: "I'm a natural blondt" Margie's alias: Madge Gebhardt, "the girl Earl Grow would most like Margie to be." KEN KRITZ By Pat Sisel Setting: A reading room in the library.

On February 13 Reverend Gordon Dalton of Wisconsin Rapids, Father Norbert Wilger of Stevens Point, and Rabbi David Matzner of Stevens Point will hold a panel discussion in the auditorium at 10. The subject of discussion will be Brotherhood Week. All the participants are students here at Central State. On February 15 a Harp and Vocal Quartet from the University of Minnesota will be here to entertain us. The prog-ram will be held at 8 in the college auditorium. Anyone who likes music will especially enjoy this program. On February 24 Mliss Gladys Van Arsdale, who has been on a semester's l,eave of absence from the campus school, will present an assembly on her stay in Thailand. She will show slides of scenes in Thailand and of places she visited enroute to and from that country, and she will tell of her experiences in the Far East as she shows the slides. Look What We Got!!

TV~o CSC Alums Present I ''In-The-Field'' Reports By Ma.rge Gerhard The time has now come that to mention the name of a Wisconsin city: will simultaneously bring to mind the name of at least one esc graduate located there. This fact naturally gives our faculty great pride. The next thought is to ask about that graduate ... how does he like it there and, if he is teaching, how does he like that?? Here are the reactions of two well known alums now well established "in the field." · Betty Crook, sophomores, juniors and seniors will recall, was a very active Omeg in campus affairs last year. A graduate of the primary division, she is now a first grade teacher in the Wausau school system. As she had had hopes of teaching in that city for several years, the problem of where to go after graduation was not a momentous one for her. She likes it for its size, the numerous forms of entertainment available, its shopping center and its central location, as well as for its school system. "The school system works in close cooperation with the businesses and industries here," she says. This makes field trips and certain types of entertainment programs possible. A social worker is also available to help solve extreme behavior problems. Betty (Miss Crook) has ready access to visual aid equipment and materials too. Admitting that the responsibility of being a teacher is a big one, Betty says that it is also worthwhile every day. Referring to her CSC days Betty said, "I was especially thankful for the opportunities given there to get acquainted with the many materials available . . . by practicing in the various grades." Then she concluded, unknowingly _revealing one of the reasons she is such a successful teacher, by saying, "I don't feel qualified to give any real advice to others, for I'm still looking for it everywhere from other teachers and sometimes even the children." Now in his second year of teaching in Marion High school, Marlie Gilbert, a former CSC Sig Ep BMOC, has already made quite a name for himself "on the job." This year he coached his high school football team to the conference championship. Therefore, it is quite natural to expect him to say that his work is quite satisfying, as he does. (He did say that the frequent vacations are also satisfying ... ! ) On the subject of discipline, Marlie (Mr. Gilbert) states that being in a rural area lowers such problems, with extra work curing the few "eight VOL. IV balls." As a high school teacher, he knows fairly well what to expect of his students, as the ten grade schools in his district have the same curriculum. Marlie credits his success, or mach of it, to his CSC training. He is grateful for his practical experiences and his athletic background, which taught him to have confidence in his ability to do any job. "Coach" believes that he lacked nothing in the way of training; so his teaching experiences have proven. (By the way, he met his wife here too!) He, too, felt inadequate when he came to advising the rest of us, but quoted from the noted educator Armstrong, "A teacher, in order to measure up to all demands must have the learning of a college president, the consecration of a clergyman, the executive talents of a fina~cier, the humility of a deacon, and the craftyness of a Tammany politician, besides ... an angel in temper, a demon for discipline, a chameleon for adoption, a diplomat for tact, an optimist for hope, and a hero for courage; must have the wisdom of a serpent, the gentleness of a dove, the grace of God, the patience of Job, and the perseverAnce o fthe devil." But then, Marlie added, this all comes -with time, and the retirement age is 70!! Music, Milk Dispensers Added To Student Union Things at the Union are dh the move! Manager Mark Farris has announced the purchase of two new utilities for the Delzell Hall Student Union. These two new attractions are a milk machine and a new record machine. The milk machine is of the same type as the one installed in the basement outside the girf's recreational lounge in the Main building. The record machine wil be available for dances and just plain listening. One night a week will be set aside for classical or "long hair" music and popular music will be available on other nights. The records will be obtainable from the man in charge of the Union each night. The exact date of installation of these new innovations is not certain, but at least in the near future for sure, says Manager Farris. Also, the Union and Delzell Hall have issued an ultimatum to Union patrons to stop using the side doors when patronizing the Union. Students are to use only the center doors of the Hall. Decisive action will be taken if this rule continues to be violated.

KNUTZEN By Eleanor Schram .Amid the pussy willows and blooming narcissus and beneath the ivy covering the wall of his office, Mr. Knutzen, CSC English teacher, confessed he was somewhat of an amateur gardener. His plants are company and bring a great deal of satisfaction to him and they interest many visitors. Mr. Knutzen claims the plants also enjoy moving from his l:ottage to his office in the fall and back again in the spring. Mr. Knutzen's office is one of the unheated rooms in the building. According to him, many people say by Alice Jean Allen tage on Pike Lake, about 27 miles north of Stevens Point. In the spring and fall he commutes daily to college and in the winter he spends his weekends there. This is known as his "little tonic." Teaching has increased another of Mr. Knutzen's interests and that is his associations with people. Through teaching, working with music groups such as the Men's Glee club, which _he has directed for 20 years, and judging forensic and music contests throughout the state, Mr. Knutzen has come in contact with all kinds of people and he still continues to find them interesting. Mr. Knutzen's original ambition was to be a music teacher but his brother, who taught music, said, "One musician in the family is enough." So Mr. Knutzen became an English and speech teacher. This is his twenty-third year at esc and he says he is getting like the ivy still hanging on. Campus School Will Show Play, "The Inner Willy" that it is the warm air - or the hot air from his adjoining classroom that keeps his office warm. Besides being an amateur gardener, Mr. Knutzen is an out-of-door's man. He claims to be only a fair fisherman but a great lover of woods and water. He enjoys canoeing, boating, sketching, hiking and snowshoeing. In college, Mr. Knutzen's main interests were baseball and tennis and he still enjoys them today. Most of his time is spent at his cot- AKL Officers Chosen At the annual election of new officers for Alpha Kappa Lambda, conservation fraternity at Central State college, Mike Farrell was elected president; Al Curtis, vice president; Don Page, treasurer; John Farrell, secretary, and Archie Smith, press representative.

These courses are: Music 130a, a course in Advanced Theory. This is a free elective for students who want more credits than a music minor requires. The three credit course will consist of a continued study of the elements of music through sight singing, part writing, dictation, counterpoint, and keyboard transposition. Prerequisite: Music 100a, 100b. Music 130b, Advanced Theory, will also be offered. This three credit course is a continuation of 130a to include altered chords and advanced modulations. Music 133, Introduction to Music Literature. This course is an introduction to the more important compositions in the music from the eight eenth century to the present time, through required listening. The two credit course is open to all freshman or sophomore music minors or students with previous experience in music. Music 240 and 241, History of Music.

Jane Schultz and Diane Seif, cochairmen, and a number of college students, are making all the local arrangements for the district tournament here. These two co-eds acted as co-chairmen, wi.th student help, for a speech institute in October, and a district one-act play contest and a sectional one-act play contest in December. ' The schools each furnJsh two teams, and each team debates on one side of the question, which this year is: "Resolved: That the Federal government should Initiate a policy of free trade among nations friendly to the United States." The team taking the affirmative side of the question remains in one room for the three debates, but has a different judge for each debate, while the negative side travels from room to room for each debate, A master plan for the scheduling of timekeepers, judges, and teams for each event will be arranged before Mr. Wicklund arrives. There will be two rounds of debates in the morning and one in the afternoon. President William C. Hansen will give a speech of welcome to the high school students during the general meeting in the morning. A noon luncheon will be served at Nelson Hall beginning a:t 12:15, at which time Mr. Wicklund will act as master ot ceremonies, and a number of the high school students will make afterdinner speeches. After the last round of debates, the teams, their coaches, and the judges and official guests will meet in the recreation rooms of Delzell Hall for a social hour and rendering of the decisions by Mr. Wicklund. The teams that win first place in this district tournament will represent the district in a regional debate tournament here the following Saturday, February 12. Erving Marquardt, coach of forensics in the Wausau senior high school, is the regional chairman. The region consists of the Stevens Point, La Crosse, and Oshkosh districts. The winners of this event will compete with the other Touring Players Bring Double Dramatic Slate By Barbara Coburn "Alice in Wonderland," staged by Touring Players, Inc., in the college auditorium Friday, February 18, is this year's Primary Council play especially for children. Members of the Council will contact the pu__blic and parochial schools in the city and county to invite children to attend either the morning or afternoon performance. Admission for either performance will be 50 cents. The play about the little girl who followed a worried rabbit down his burrow and met such interesting creatures as the Duchess who advocated, "Off with his head!", the Mad Hatter, the sleepy doormouse, the dodo, Tweedledum and Tweededee, the Cheshire cat, and the Turkish caterpillar, is brought here chiefly for children. Tickets will be sold to others only when all children wishing to attend have been accommodated. At 8 o'clock that evening the group will present "The Skin of Our Teeth," by Thornton Wilder. This Pulitzer prize _play is a fantasy which tells a satiric story of the extraordinary adventures of the Antrobus family down through the ages, from the time the great age of ice creeps over the world to the end of the war - any war. This production by the Touring Players will be sponsored by College Theater and should be an evening of good entertainment for college students and faculty.

January 27, CSC Hoopsters In Five Conference Battles During Next Fortnight With semesters changing and tests coming up, the Wisconsin State College Basketball conference is now in full swing and the Pointers have two important battles coming up in the next two weeks: At Milwaukee, Saturday, January 29 and with their old rivals, the Oshkosh Titans, here February 5. Following the exam week the Pointers are on the road for three contests. They travel to Superior, Monday, February 7; La Crosse, Saturday, February 12; and Whitewater, Wednesday, February 16. The Whitewater game was originally scheduled for January 31 but was changed because it came during exams. Coach Quandt realizes he must win all three contests to have any hope of staying in contention in the conference. The Pointers, with a conference record of two wins and three losses open up with a "toughie" the Milwaukee Green Gulls this Saturday night.

The scouting of the CSCEau Claire game by the River Falls team, who were enroute to Whitewater, was undoubtedly a detrimental factor in the Pointer's bid for victory. Individually, Bobby Haefner with 16 points and John Amburgy with l4 led the team offensively. Orv Koepke, who was again plagued by personal fouls, contributed 12 points in his short duration of play.

Among those ten have been boys who have shown up at the gym at six to play the prelim, then change uniforms and come back up for the main game. It isn't any wonder that they fail to have the initial spark and stamina after three hours of ball.

Smith scored six straight points in the first and second rounds, but an escape in the last round gave him his one point decision, Johnny Guldan, Terry McMa,hon, George Wier, and .Dave Jersey all lost by decisions. Guldan· and McMahon had the closest matches as they were decisioned by one and two points respectively. Terry McLlarky faced one of the best wrestlers on the Luther squad. McLlarky put up a good fight, but his lack of experience was the deciding factor. McLlarky was pinned by Paul Anderson halfway through the second round. Dave and Ken Hurlbut .ran into a brother combination from Luther who proved to be a little bit too much for the Hurlbut boys. Omar Ersland pinned Dave Hurlbut in the heavyweight division with about 15 seconds remaining in the match. Ken was decisioned by Omar's brother, Gene Ersland, 12-1.

Lewis Household! B7 Nancy Hager Would you think it odd to find hiden in some remote corner of a would-be-geography lab, a rod and ft&l, line, hooks, bait, and all the other tamUiar material from an angler's p&r&dise? We predict that in years to come, Robert S. Lewis, now geocraphyinstructor at esc, will pioneer a new and different science at our achool THE ART OF RAISING GUPPIES!' "It all began," pys Mr. Lewis, •'When someone gave my daughter foUT guppies while she was in the hospital. Everything went along fine until nature dealt me a low blow and I was struck with four rapidly reproducing guppies and only one fish bowl!" However, it is interesting to note that guppies, like most tropical fish, eat their young, so before long he was down to four guppies again. (One used fishbowl for sale!) "I began to wonder if all tropical fish were as easy to raise," remarks :Mr. Lewis. While in Oshkosh he heard of a man having tropical fish for sale and thought he would investigate the chance of raising them. Driving home that night, he was accompanied by two neontetra, two zebra fish, two tropical catfish, and two golden platty. 'How was I to know that the golden platty was about to have young and that in two weeks I would end up with sixteen of them?" sighed Mr. Lewis. They're really quite easy to raise," be says, "But soon they began to die • because the water was not the right temperature. This, of course, meant buying a heater and thermostat and replenishing my stock." During the Christmas vacation this year, the Lewis car was seen heading in the direction of Spencer, where they purchased more of the same fish. Mr. Lewis has one complaint to make. "There's no place around here where I can buy the fish and even the vegetation must be sent for. But there's one consolation," he adds, "the vegetation reproduces as rapidly as the fish!" (Another fish bowl?) A familiar scene in the Lewis household is to see their dog perched in a nearby chair, watching the brilliant colors made by the fish. "He sits for hours watching in fascination and is very jealous of the attention we show them," Mr. Lewis comments. "We decided to start raising them solely as a family enterprise and in the interest of the children's education," he says. But a little inside information tells us that he and Gilbert W. Faust have been idly dreaming of the day when they can retire and become the proprietors of a hobby store. Mr. Lewis, who says it is interesting to watch the reproducing of live-born fish, manages to phone Mr. Faust every time a new batch of color appears in the fishbowls and excitedly remarks, "Well, there goes another dividend!" · Any future anglers will be interested to know that Mr. Lewis has about 15 young fish that he would like to sell. (You'll hav~ to furnish your own fishbowl!) \ For SCHOOL SUPPLIES Across from High School Many Couples Attend inter-Sorority Dinners Tau Gamma Beta held their intersorority dinner at the Hot Fish Shop last Saturday evening.
