,..., Twelve and Subterranean Six
Live By Survival of the FiHest
By Mary Braatz
Thla is the saga of to what extremes a small girl reporter will go
when commanded by her six foot
four inch editor. It is also the tale of
how much can be accomplished in
an empty library and over Alexander
Graham Bell's invention. Even more
specifically, this story is the summary of the lives of 18 college fellows who reside in the Bertolino
home at 902 College avenue.
The first floor of the structure
at 902 College is occupied by Mr.
and Mrs. Bertolino and their five
children. Since there are, besides the
first floor, an upstairs with six bedrooms and a bath, and a complete
basement, the Bertolinos' chief problem was to fill the empty rooms.
Five children being an ample number, the problem was solved by adding 18 men, college men, who make
this home their Stevens Point headquarters.
Twelve inhabit the upstairs regions. They are AI Due, house president (he has seniority rights and is
also the biggest), Earl Staege, Jim
Haebig, John Klonsinski, Dave Buchholz, Jon Wipfli, Don Gustin, John
R. Smith, Bob McNulty, Don Frey,
Louis Brost, and Julian Brost. The
dungeon dwellers, with cooking privileges incidentally, are Bob Karsseboom, Howard Buckoski, Alan Danke, Jim Harden, Dick Purcell and
Jerry Schoen.
Naturally, any interview must include talking to people, and what
person could be more logical to start
with than AI Due, head tom of the
Cool Cats of 902. AI was contacted
and agreed to volunteer information
on the private lives of his buddies
and himself only if accompanied by
three of those· buddies to act as bodyguards against the inquiring pen of
a determined female news-seeker.
We met in the old library four
men determined to reveal all, and
one reporter all too glad to hear it.
At '1: 80 a.m., six alarm clocks
blast the stillneBS of the upper floor
of 902. Each man of the 12, shaving
kit In hand and hope beating in
breast, races madly for the one
bathroom, plugs In his electl'ic razor,
and tries desperately to rid himself
of his own five o'clock shadow and
not that of his two closest buddies.
To the accompaniment of shouts
of, "Where's my shaving case?" and
.. Who hocked my pen?", each fellow
makes his bed, a futile task of pulling the covers back over the sheets
underneath, for three or four healthy
red-blooded American boys will probably fling themselves upon it within
the' next moment. Then dressing
comes, and a gallop for the parking
lot behind the house, the open stable
where the eight "buses" reside. If
it's a cold morning, the quality of
anti-freeze is judged by whose car
starts first and can best push the
other seven off toward CSC. Thus,
the morning begins.
The fellows' day at school is a
normal one, most of the upstairs'
men eating at the Campus Cafe, and
the basement ones retu,rning home
for a Karsseboom cooked meal. Returning from school, they head for
their rooms, turn on the four radios
upstairs in competition with the television set mi. the first floor and study.
Usually, one fellow hitting the books
means 11 others have better and
louder things to do.
Although the advantages in comparing notes and discussing teachers
are many, grade-points as a subject
are taboo. The "Cuss Can" stands
ready for any improper word on this
or any other sub~ect; he who swears

Three is the game room, the Monte
Carlo of Bertolinos'; here are located
an electric football game, checkers,
cribbage boards and 53 decks of
cards.
Bedtfn\e is somewhere around
eleven o'clock - bedtime being the
time when 12 hapless fellows attempt to get into bed. After the
shoes have been taken from under
the matresses and the short sheets
changed, a fellow may get some sleep.
Jon Wopfli, the goat of the Mad
Twelve upstairs, has had shocking
experiences in this line. He awoke
one morning to find the foot of his
bed propped up on a chair, which
meant that he had been sleeping at
a 3 0 degree angle. This explained
his headache the next day.
Jon, however, paid back one of the
conspirators on one of the following
evenings, when he ate a bag of popcorn in M Due's bed. As AI said, "I got
into bed and felt something. Pretty
soon I took out one, two,. three, four
kernels of popcorn." Fine way to
start off a night's rest! Then there
was the time when four fellows sat
up until a quarter to two in the
morning, watching slides of China
and Japan projected on the wall. Fine
entertainment, but the fellow whose
room they were using was trying to
sleep and finding it a difficult task.
The Bertolino children find a
houseful of college men has its points
- both good and bad. Little Daryl,
the youngest, likes to take toothbrushes and rearrange shaving kits;
18 men give him plenty of opportunity to indulge in his favorite pastime. One of the children also has a
unique hobby; he raises pigeons in
the attic, {lnd the tramping of his
engineer boots provides a pleasant
background music for the scholastic
efforts of the upstairs inhabitants.
Once, he bathed two pigeons in
the bathtub and the feathers left in
it made quite a shock for the next
fellow inclined toward cleanliness.
Gail, the oldest Bertolino, goes
steady; the only time the light is off
in the downstairs hallway (so the
fellows say) is when she and her boy
friend are there. This romance has

downstairs and out the front door are
quite an obstacle for any romance .
Still, the BertoUnos don't mind, and
the second-story men all agree that

Delzell Hall all beat.
So that quantity will not have

remember that the Bertolino basement also holds boarders, six of
them to be exact. Five and a half

of them, Howard Buckoski, is engaged, and only drops in to eat and
sleep. The other five, however, are
quite enough for anyone, even a
reporter 11 blocks away on a telephone.
Bob Karsseboom is the cook and
Jerry Schoen, the cake-baker. Between the two of them, everyone eats
well, or, at least, well enough. Dick
Purcell maintains that you have to
sit down quick and eat fast or you
won't get full . Popcorn, chile, and
ice cream (a bit soupy the first three
times) are among the favorite
dishes. There is a motive for all
this cooking enthusiasm. Karasseboom says, "College women can't
cook," and feels his proficiency in
this field makes him a better · prospect. Doing the cooking also means

that he doesn't have to do the dishes,
which is an advantage.
ThTee bedrooms, a bathroom,
kitchen, living room, den, mixmaster,
and freezer contribute to the comforts of the Subterranean Six; however, the electrical overload means
that the fuses blow on an average
of three times an evening. Darkness
is no obstacle to these fellows as their
chief occupation is cribbage playing,
and they are familiar enough with
this to play it in a blackout. Jim

ers, so they say. Floors are swept
at least once a week. Short sheeting runs rampant here, just as upstairs, but all in a good-natured
manner. So good-natured and eooperative are the fellows that they
cut each other's hair; at least Karsseboom cut Buckoski's hair once last
week. Karss thought it a masterpiece, but Buck's opinion was eomsiderably more vocal and varied.

things were getting a bit out of hand.
Since it is not usually considered
necessary for a first time interviewing reporter to give her age, waist
measurement, and promise to share
a Coke at that night's game, the
conversation was reluctantly broken
off. The Phi Sigs, Tekes, and Sig
Eps can very well move over a little,
for a new organization has arisen a fraternity with short-sheeting for
its initiation, "Where's my shaving
case?" as a password, and 18 male
CSC'ers as members the fraternity of Al Due and His Dizzy Dozen
and a Half.

and is her pride and joy. Her second
love is traveling. Last summer she
and her daughter Mary took a trip
to the west coast.
When asked about the latest improvements in the college she said,
"Oh, they're wonderful! I only hope
the college· doesn't get so big that
the friendliness and goqd relationships, both with the students and
faculty members, is lost. That is
what makes our college so great. Of
course, we need a few improvements
yet, such as more dorms for women
and a new athletic building that can
be 1 used for dances and school affairs as well as athletic events.' '
Thrilling things are always happening to the Dean but, she says,
"The biggest thrill of my life is at
graduation time when I watch the
girls walking across the platform.
Each one is different and I know a
little about every girl.
They
have come to college as timid freshmen and leave as seniors with all
the poise in the world. It always
brings tears to my eyes.' '
When Mrs. Pfiffner's daughter,
Mary, graduated from CSC everyone
told the Dean that she, at last, had
a good reason to have tears in her
eyes. Laughingly she said, "That
was the only time I didn't ."

A real treat is in store for college
students who get free tickets from
the Deans' offices for Kathryn Turney Garten's interpretation of the
novel, "The Dollmaker," on Monday,
March 28, at 8 p.m. in the college
auditorium.
Mrs. Garten, who has given most
interesting dramatic book reviews in
the auditorium for the last few years,
will be brought to Stevens Point by
the Business ·and Professional Women's club. Miss Marie Swallow, secretary at the Campus school, is chairman of the project.
A limited number of free tickets
is available to college students as a
service of BPW. The sale of tickets
to townspeople and the faculty will
raise money for a scholarship fund,
as each year the club gives a scholarship to some deserving GSC freshman. 1
"The Doll maker;" by Harriette
Arnow, is a story of displaced persons in the war years in contemporary America. The mother is the cent'r al figure of the novel. Gertie
Nevels, a homely, courageous, strongwilled, sensittve and self-reliant
woman of the back-country in Kentucky, is forced to leave the community where she has lived all her
life to join her husband in Detroit,
where he has found wartime work in
a factory.
Gertie is endowed with the gift of
carving true figures from wood. She
sells wooden dolls to provide food
for the family when her husband is
idled by a strike which he does not
understand.
She dreams of carving a Christ,
but with all the faces around her,
she cannot find a face for the carved
figure of bent shoulders and bowed
head. The debasing effect of the city
on her husband and some of her
children oppresses her, but she maintains her faith in her fellow human
beings, and at the end, realizes that
she can find a face for the unfinished
figure.

The Central State College Men'$ Glee club is shown in action in their concert at
High school, March 7. Their afternoon performance entertained a large audience
Violinist Entertains,
Educates At Assembly.
By Pat Sisel
On Monday morning, March 14, at'
9 a.m., the Fastofskys, a violin-piano
duo, presented a concert with a different twist to a small but enthusiastic audience in the college auditorium.
Mr. Fastofsky announced at the
opening that the concert was out of
the usual routine in that after each
selection the audience would be in·
to ask any questions concerning the selection or technique used
in playing it. "Education to Entertain," he called it. And that it was.
After each selection Mr. Fastofsky
would pull up a chair and commence
to answer all questions. The atmosphere was relaxed and informal,
but a good deal of information was
conveyed to the audience as he spoke
and skillfully demonstrated many
violin techniques. Audience interest
was further increased by the variety
of selections played. He exhibited
his versatility in pieces by Handel,
Bali, and Leroy Anderson and his
selections went all the way from a
portion of "Minuet in G" to his closing number, "The Hot Canary.''
Dr. Hugo D. Marple, as chairman
of the Assembly Committee, was in
charge of the concert, which was
sponsored by the University of Wisconsin Assembly Service.

Bi II Creed Receives
Grad Assistantship
After weeks of waiting the good
word has finally arrived, and BUl
Creed, a conservation major, is now
a very happy fellow. The reason!
Well, he has just received def1n1te
word that he has been granted a
graduate assistantship at Pennsylvania State university.
This assistantship is with the
Pennsylvania Co-operative Wildlife
Research Unit, and is for a two y-ear
period, effective with the beginning
of the summer session July 1, 1966.
Bill will receive an annual salary C)f
$1,572.00. Tuition and all other fees.
except a medical fee, are also provided. The finances for this assistantship are provided .jointly by the
U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the
Pennsylvania State Game Commission, the Wildlife Management Institute and Pennsylvania State university.
Bill will report to the university on
July 1. During the summer sesalon
he will not attend classes, but will
work strictly on research projects.
However, he will put In many classroom hours during the regular school
)'ear. Upon graduation he will be
awarded an M. S. Degree in wildlife
management.
Bill, a senior in L and S here at
CSC, hails from Unity, Wisconsin. He
is a major in conservation and biology.
Bill is not the first graduate of
the esc conservation department to
receive this type of an assistantship. Back in 1950, Fred Hubbard
received one of a similar nature from
Iowa State college.
"The conservation department is
proud of Bill in his success," says
Fred J. Schmeeckle, chairman of the
department. "We hope he will succeed in his advanced work. We are
proud for another reason also. For
years we have been Instructing students in the field of conservation.
They have been doing an excellent
job in the field. Now when one of
them is awarded an assistantship
from a university out in Pennsylvania, we feel that our job of training
must be good."
"This should give n~w hope to all
prospective conservation graduates
and to the conservation department
itself, which is continually expanding and turning out men who will
work in this field.''

Coaches Bernard F. Wievel, Alf

begun loosening up sessions in their
respective sports as the 1955 spring
athletics program draws near.
Coach Wievel's tennismen are
using the campus school gym for
their daily workouts until weather
permits ,outside activity. Dr. Harrer's
thinclads may be seen almost anywhere in the building after classes,
but the workouts .are centered
around the wrestling room in the
library. The baseball enthusiasts,
under Coach Quandt's direction, are
having their spring training in the
college gym.
All three coaches
are welcoming any late-comers to
join in on their pleasant "unkinking"
sessions. Golfers may also start their
exercises (Fore! ) in any empty town
hall.
Three CSC amateur basketball

to a championship in the Badger
Amateur Basketball. association in a
recent game held at St. Peter's gym
here in Stevens Point. Ken Wasserman led the Weltman attack with 28
markers as they downed Jack Kroll
and company from Birnamwood 8478. In the consolation final a Bowler aggregation composed of numerous CSC'ers walloped Hortonville
102-77.
-Seven track enthusiasts, including
Coach Alf Harrer, journeyed to Milwaukee Saturday afternoon to view
the Journal Relays held that night in
the Arena. Bill Ruhsam, Larry Collins, Jerry Drake, Terry Pease, and
John and Jim Miller, all returning
lettermen, greatly enjoyed the relays
(binoculars and all) as track· stars
from all over the state and nation
competed in the huge arena. Hey,
you redheads, who won the potato
race?
-Back to the hardcourt again we
find that the big question which
arises in everyone's mind this week
is, "Who'll be the state basketball
champion?" It would be futile to go
·out on the limb and predict any winner, but we were told it'll be Lena
and Middleton in the finals. Those
small schools do wonders in that
fieldhouse.
Don't forget · to read the Ol'
Swami's views on the 1955 baseball
season next issue.
Barring a few absentees the com.plete varsity of the past season showed up and enjoyed the get-together
given to them by their mentor with
the aid of Mrs. Quandt. After viewing a thrilling TV mystery, "Mr. District Attorney," Mr. Quandt showed a
- ' moV!e on basketball, of course, starring the Minneapolis Lakers of the
proi\essional ranks which was very
enlightening.
Coach Quandt then presented small
' gifts to a number of the hardcourt
men for their accomplishments during the season. The awards were
based on achievements ranging from
the best shooting average to the most
"boo-boos" committed. Another exciting TV program starring Joe Friday climaxed the enjoyable evening
·at Park Ridge.

Cable's Cagers Sink
College All-Stars
Stevens Point's Dick Cable and
John Kardach came home from the
University of Wisconsin for a night
in their honor to play an exhibition
game against the esc all stars on
March 9. The game was sponsored
by the local Kiwanis club and proceeds will be used for their work
with youth.
Cable's Badgers, · composed of a
group of Wisconsin's present and past
basketball players, led all the way
against Point's All-stars and wound
U:(J the night with an 82-71 win. An
over-flow crowd crammed the P. J.
Jacobs gym, mostly to watch the
record breaking Dick Cable pump in
points, and they didn't go home disappointed as Dick slammed in 26
points, 14 in the, last quarter.
The game was interrupted several
times for clowning and a few laughs.
The entire game was played in . a
slow, even pace; no real excitement,
but plenty of fancy shooting. High
point man on the AU-Stars was Orv
Koepke with 17 points. Morrow and
Weber dumped in 16 and 14 points
for the Badgers.

Intramural Season Ends,
Clubfoots League Champs
The intramural season came to a
close Thursday night, March 10, with
the American League's Clubfoots
"clubbing" the National League;s
Basketeers 58-32 for the championship. The Clubfoots and Basketeers
lost only one game in the regular
season before pairing off for the
championship .
The Basketeers, handicapped with
the loss of a key player, were never
in the game. Trailing at the half 3 714, the Basketeers made a slight
comeback at the start of the second
half, then faltered again and · were
outclassed the rest of the game.
Phil Greeneway and Dick Schroeder led the Clubfoots with 19 and 15
points, while Bob Christofferson was
high for the Basketeers with eight
points.

Dear Editor:
My roommate and I are having a

such person as Wendelin Frenzel.
I say there is. Help please.

Answer: You're both partly wrong.
Wendelin Frenzel was the chief
bootsie-putter-on at the Training
School from 1907-09. It is merely
Oshkosh propaganda that someone of
that name is going here now.

Parkinson's Predominate;
Pinsters Hold Positions
The Campus Bowling League is
entering the last phase of the current season with Parkirtsons still
maintaining a firm hold on the number one position. Miller's High Life
and The College Eat Shop are their
closes competitors, while the other
teams have been- mathematically
eliminated.
Many of the season's records were
broken in . the last two outings, as
the keglers had consistently high
scores. Perhaps the most outstanding accomplishment was Lou Knuth's
646 series, which consisted of 200,
220, and 226 games.- However, the
high singleton honors went to Don
Lasecke, :who blasted a 232 game.
The se~son's high team was produced by Hannons, with an 842 total.
March 26, a five man contingent
comprised of Lou Knuth, Bob Casper,
AI Due, Dave Secord, a·n d Don Laseeke will represent the CampusLeague .in a bowling tournament at
Fond du' Lac. They are consistent
bowlers and all 'of them have the
ability to _hit the 200 mark.

"Mrs. Toser, may I see you for a
few minutes?"
"Certainly, what? You want to
interview me for the Pointer? Why,
I'm flabbergasted!" So began an interview with. Mrs. Herman Toser,
one of CSC's new students and mother of Dick Toser, who graduated last
year.
Mrs. Toser is the grey-haired lady
you see running up to third floor at
10:05 every day. This energetic
grandmother is registered as a special student at Central State and is
taking German 102 from Dr. Peter
Kroner on the third floor.
She finds college "a peculiar experience after not going to school
for such a number of years." When
she first came to register she was
completely lost and said to herself,
"Oh, lima, why did you ever come?"
When she entered her first college
German class, she experienced an odd
sensation, in fact she was "scared
green." She could find an empty seat
only in the front of the room and
couldn't figure out who the "Fuchslein," "Ludwig," "Juni," and "Socrates" were that Dr. Kroner called
on so often, because she was afraid
to turn around.
Actually her reasons for coming to
school are as valid as any beginning
student's. She likes young people
and enjoys associating with them.
Since her family is now grown she
considers school a new interest and
a challenging new experience. Both
she and her husband have a very
interesting and rich German background and they plan to go to Europe
in the near future and visit relatives
there. Ever since she came to Stevens Point as a young bride 25 years
ago she has wanted to attend school
here. Perhaps a source of inspiration to her was her mother-in-law
who started going to college at the
age of 66.
Mrs. Toser Is very PJ'OUd of her
family. Her son Dick will finish
serving his internship in medical
technology at St. Mary's hospital in
Bus Driving
Student
Wausau this year. Her married
daughter, now Carla-Marie Boettcher
of Marion, Ohio, has a · toe-dancing
studio and gives flute lessons. Another object of her pride is found in
Ohio, her grandson Barry Boettcher,
who is three and a half years olq.
Mrs. Toser is a good-natured woman and claims she is known for "her
laugh." "Our family has always had
a lot of fun," she says, "and I hope
it will keep on that way."
lively lady has many interests
besides German to keep her busy.
She likes bowling and is president of
the Wisconsin Valley Bowling association. When asked about her average, she laughed and said, "Oh no,
I can't tell you. It's too low this
year." She plays the piano, violin,
and is now taking viola lessons. She
also likes to write poetry, but just
"silly little things." Yelling at basketball games is lots of fun for her
too.
Mrs. Toser ·attended Milwaukee
State Normal for three years and
received her degree from Marquette
in 1927 in public school music. After
this, she taught for a year. She is
now glad she came back to school,
but her concern is catching up after
so many years of absence from
school. Her main difficulty comes in
being in "a certain place at a certain
time" after years of coming and going just as she pleased. "Being interviewed for the Pointer is a great honor for me," she exclaimed.
Mrs. Toser has a wonderful philosophy of life, which is reflected in
her attitude. She believes religion
is a great help to a family and she
believes in the power of prayer. "Life
has been good to us and lots of fun,"
she says.
This
On the list of students' ~
jobs is that of bus-driver, a ~
monotonous task from the o~ il
point of view, but very chall. . . .
from the view of the men biilbi
the wheel. They are called upon to
cope with everything from the
treachery of icy roads to spltballa
from the rear of the bus.
The "men of the highway'' pictured at left drive bus for the city
public schools. Although mollit of
them agree that they pro~bly
wouldn't like bus-driving as a permanent occupation, · they all say
there is never a dull moment and
think their job is tops as far as parttime work is concerned.
To Err Is Human
The Pointer let its enthusiasm get
the best of itself last issue and an
alert reader promptly set it right.
In the story of Janice Weber, the
Pointer erroneously stated that Jaa
is the first woman Conservation
major on campus.
A note from Miss Marie Swallow of
the Placement Office informs us that
Betty McGowan of Friendship graduated from the Secondary Division In
June, 1949, with a major· in Conservation. The Pointer eats crow - or
should we say "swallows" it.
