TBE POINTER
Axe Felt Round The Campus
here we go again. The library has again become a three quarter
dollar tomb on evenings. Due to an abrupt end of student asfands, it has become necessary for the Administration to wield
axe to students employed in the various departments and it has
obliged to close the library evenings an evening starting at an
early 5 p.m.
The loss of their jobs has been a major loss for some esc students.
Here a source of funds clearly counted on for the remainder of the semester
has been cut off or else drastically reduced. Besides the immediate concern over this work cut there are also more far reaching aspects. Prospective students are keenly interested in work opportunities and the school
must be counted on to provide its share of openings. A school that has
long waiting lists for its few jobs will not greatly attract the student
in need of financial aid.
The loss of the library, and many of us have actually lost it, is the
major concern because it hurts so many of us. With its new hours, the
library is open only 47 hours a week. 'l'he ultimate, with all evenings
open and Saturday mornings, would be 68 hours. Those 21 hours diffeJ.Ience are going to be the backbreaking straw for many esc students
faced with research assignments, term papers, outside reading reports, and
regular afternoon employment that prevents them from being able to
find a time for library use. The whole affair is a sad mess.
It is our fervent hope that the emergency funds board, or whoever
the gods may be that decide such matters, will take a careful and sympathetic look at this situation. For many of us, half a library or half a
job is the same as none.

FAMILIAR FACES
JANE SCHULTZ
By Nancy Hager
"I'm not exciting," remarked this
week's subject, "I'm just me." But
to everyone who knows her, Jane
Schultz doesn't need anything but
her friendly · eyes and cheery smile
to make her a familiar face around
esc.
Hailing from the "Home of the
Red Robins," Jane graduated from
Antigo high school in 1951. When
asked if anything exciting happened
during her high school "daze" she
quickly answered, "Why, I graduated!" But she modestly recalled
the time she won $10.00 by writing
an essay on "Freedom's Open Door."
Perhaps this was when Janie became
in English and decided to
pursue it as a vocation, for Janie
graduates this June with an English
major and French and history minors.
Besides being the president of
Sigma Tau Delta, national professional English fraternity, Jane's giggle
has been heard among the Newmanites, in the Band, on the Iris staff,
and intermingling with Tau Gamma Beta sorority as vice-pr~sident.
"My first days of practice teaching
..:are really a success," she said, laughing. "Two out of the first four days
were spent at home in bed!" Jane is
completing her second semester of
practice teaching at the high school.
Tb.e first semester found her at the
campus school in the eighth grade
English room. She has now advanced
to teaching senior English at P. J.
Jacobs. "What a conglomeration,"
she remarked, "I'm teaching everything from spelling to radio plays."
Jane is a member of the famed
Dizzy Dozen but recalls her dorm
days and all the pop corn parties in
her room there (no one else wanted
the smell!). Just then another member of the Dozen chimed, "Don't
forget the time you sat in the wall
of room 130. The patch is there to
prove it!" Jane blushed and said,
"They just don't make walls like
they used to."
Right now Jane's favorite pastimes
include traveling through Wisconsin
in search of a teaching job. "I
guess I'm just too fussy," cried
Jane, "I'm · afraid the students will
know more than I do." A little inside dope tells us that Jane's contract
will look something like: Age - 21,
height - 5'4", eyes - brown, favorite
food - lobster, favorite color - purple,
interests - ·the "new Claire" (you'll
have to ask her about that one).
When her family was mentioned,
Janie groaned, "That reminds me.
We have three graduations in our
Letters
To The Editor
Dear Editor,
I was pleased to be able to recall
my bootsie-putting-on experiences at
the training school back in 1907-09,
after reading the last issue of the
"Pointer." However I was particularly distressed to see that after such
elaborate research, you should have
a few of the facts confused.
Coming from a line of long
livers, I still exist and am enrolled
in Stevens Point Normal School. Last
fall, due to my slightly advanced age,
I was cast in a play, "The Boor,"
as a house servant.
One erroneous statement you made
should be corrected. The fact remains that since 1894, Oshkosh has
never circulated propaganda about
any individual in attendance here,
dead or alive!
Correctively yours,
Wendelin Frenzel
Dear Editor,
This is concerning the cutting off
of library hours at night. We're sure
that quite a few students are very
much against this proposal, nay, this
action. We, some of the students,
don't see how we can possibly do our
school work in the manner to which
we are accustomed under such circumstances. We, who have· other
outside activities such as work,
sports, or dramatics to do cannot do
full credit to our capabilities. And
so, not wishing to take merely a
negative stand we (the undersigned)
hereby put forth the following suggestion: That the college administration. assess each student, forth-with, $1 (one dollar) , to pay the
costs incurred in keeping the library
open at night.

The members of this royal trio include two sisters, Mary, 15, who is
graduating from St. John's Junior
high, Kay, 18, who is graduating
from Antigo High school, and our
familiar face. "Would you believe
it," added Jane, "my own sister plans
to go to La Crosse next year!"
,
Jane didn't say there was anything
in particular that she remembers
about college. But one couldn't help
overhear the story she told about
walking out to Mr. Knutzen's cottage on a spring day last year and
getting lost. She didn't know how
far she walked out of her way but
the next morning when she was
forced to wear bedroom slippers to
church because of the blisters, she
imagined it had been quite far .
"What'll you do when you are not
teaching?" she was asked. "Embroidering for my hope chest," she
answered, "which at the present

Delzell Hall claims a good share of
Mel's attention, too. He is president
of the dorm, works on desk, and
is manager of the second floor. The
latter duty, in Mel's words, consists
of "Checking the room equipment
in spring and fall, keeping the fellows quiet and setting a good
example for the freshmen."

Alpha Kappa Lambda, conservation fraternity, ·and intramural basketball are other activities that help
keep Mel busy.
When he graduates in Junll, he will
receive his degree in Letters and Science, with a double major in biology
and conservation. His future plans
include "going to relax for two years
in the Army and then coming back to
school for education credits."
Mel maintains that he sleeps in
his spare time, since Bill Lacina, his
roommate, studies enough for both
of them.
Another of Mel's off-hour occupations is working with- (Gulp!) rats. Actually, it's a project for

choice of subject thus: "I hate their

Friendly Era Draws To AScreech ··
Pointer Editor Assassinated At
Wednesday Afternoon Staff Meeting
Most Bloody Affair
Results In Bleeding
Seven months of tyranny came to a
bloody end Wednesday afternoon,
Mardh 30, when a short violent uprising in the Pointer office was
climaxed by the assassination of Earl
(Julius) Grow, Pointer editor. The
revolt, led by Brutus Frenzel, was
conspired and carried out largely by
members of Grow's staff.
Immediate details are indefinite
and incomplete but this much can
be told.
Bearing in mind the fact that it
is better to be first on the Iris staff
than second on the Pointer staff, the
conspirators elected to risk .academic
ruin by putting a halt to the gradual
decline of the student publication.
As Cassius Boettcher put it, "It
made my printer's ink boil!"
Casca Halverson, a somewhat unwilling accomplice, was too shaken
up by the incident to comment and
when this reporter found him he was
nervously wiping the blood off his
hands and mumbling, "I'll never pass
that history test tomorrow."
Grow had been forwarned that the
day might prove fatal when an old
soothsayer
(Clifton
Webanowitz,
class of '8 9) cried out to him when
Grow entered the Pointer Office that
afternoon. Calpurnia Holstein calmed his fears though by handing him
a stack of stories that needed rewriting. Portia Braatz also hid her
deep hatred, nursed by those long
feature assignments, and joked with
Grow to put him at his ease.
One by one the conspirators
wandered in, attracting little attention. Cinna Madison innocently toyed with a paper spindle and Cassius
Boettcher nervously picked popcorn
kernels off the floor. Finally all
were assembled. The only friend
Julius Grow had in the entire office
was Anthony Behrendt, who was having a friendly discussion with Julius
as to whether Pogo was funnier than
Peter Potoka.
According to plan Behrendt was
called from the office under the pretense that President Eisenhower
wanted him on the phone. (Behrendt
is fairly gullible.) Grow was now
alone in the office with his enemies.
Still following the plan conceived
in the smoker, Casca Halverson attracted Grow's attention by beginning to sing "Death of a Young
Maiden" softly under his breath.
When Grow turned to see who was
choking, Madison and Boettcher
struck! Grow reeled from the blows,
with the paper spindle and the lilly
dilly stick used by Boettcher protruding from his back. Passersby
said they heard a scream but merely
thought that Mr. Specht was giving
another test and paid no attention.
Staggering, Grow turned to his
supposed friend Brutus Frenzel.
Grimacing, Brutus drove home his
large scissors in the mid-section.
Julius stopped short, sorrowfully
murmured "Et tu Brute" then
cried, "Then die, Julius," and fell
in a grotesque heap at the statue of
Pompey Fritchie, Pointer founder.
The deed was did!
Cooperation Wanted
Last Will And Testament
Of Deceased Editor Read
When the will of the late, and
sometimes even absent, Julius Grow
was read this morning it was revealed that Chidioc Titchbornion is to
become the new editor of the Pointer.
Titchbornion, long known for his
unrelenting and determined silence
on all subjects, agreed to an interview this morning immediately after
the reading of the will.
When asked his first steps toward
bettering the obviously weak publication he said, "Well, first I think I'll
have the office painted a nice subdued black with probably pink curtains on the windows. The desks will
be rearranged in the shape of a triangle, mine being in the middle."
Besides naming Titchbornion as
successor, Grow's will also distributed many other personal items to
his friends, real and imaginary. To
his wife, Calpurnia Holstein, went his
tennis racket, an obvious suggestion
for her to exercise., (Calpurnia is
well known to like nothing better
than to sit around eating plums,
grapes, and copy.) To Brutus Frenzel, ironically enough, he left a large
pair of scissors, which were not immediately located. Grow willed to
Frenzel's wife, Portia Braatz, "The
Last of the Mohicans," a book which
Grow was very fond of and alleged
to have read.
·
The remainder of the document
dealt with numerous smaller articles
like pencils, paper clips, paste, and
shillelaghs, all. of which were given
to adviser, Miss Bertha Glennon.
Miss Glennon's only comment was,
"Honestly, that Julius."
After these legal ceremonies were
over several of Grow's closest associates were seen to leave the ·building looking very disappointed. Chief
among these were Cinna Madison
and Casca Halverson.. When this reporter tried to get some comment
from them he was only stabbed and
kicked away. "Sic semper tyrannis."
Charles R. Worthington, a Central
State alum, has written to us in regard to a proposed column. Mr.
Worthington is presently employed
with the Sanitation Department in
Turkesa, Iraq, and would like to
write a regular feature column for
the Pointer on the people, culture,
and coy habits of the Turkesan vicinity. Because of the high cost of carrier pigeon these days, the Pointer
does not wish to incur the expense of
receiving and printing this article
unless we are sure our readers would
be sufficiently interested. Please

"Hob-goblins and witches didn't scare

decided to investigate the cruel
rumors concerning this beloved land

"Just as I expected, at six p.m.
sharp, the old homestead became a
scene of confusion and mixed emotion. Out of nowhere seemed to loom

end and sat through the first act rehearsal of the three-act play, "My

to the ground.) When the three angels turned out to be deadly convicts,
did I suppress a sigh? Curses, no!

gagged.) As Madame Parolle, a scatterbrained French woman, tried to
make love to me, did I struggle to
loose myself from her slinky arms?
No! (In fact, I rather enjoyed it!)
And when Mr. Blakeslee suggested
that I be a stand-in for Marie Louise,
did I hide myself behind a bookrack? Why I simply powdered my
nose and took my position.
"You, too, c~n have a sneak preview of this coming attraction by
poking your face through a door of

"devil" of a time at the April 27 and

It's About Time!
"Friends, Romans, countrymen!" Anthony Behrendt, bearing the body of dead editor, speaks
passionately to unruly mob.
With no little humility the
Pointer graciously acknowledges
the receipt of the Herman Osgood
Achievement Award for Meritorious Journalism. The award consists of a · plaster bust of Julius
Grow, who certainly was.

Attentive. Masses Riot
During Editor's Funeral
By "Scoop" Hamingway
"Friends, Students, Professors
lend me your ears. I come to bury
Grow, not to honor him."
With these thrilling words, Anthony Behrendt calmed the vast
multitude that milled before the
stage in the auditorium. It was the
funeral of the late lamented Editor
and a tremendous throng crowded
here (the library being closed).
Behrendt had the permission of
the conspirators to speak in his
friend's obsequies and standing beside the still bleeding, inert form,
his oft trembling voice reached every
ear with perfect lucidity.
"The noble Brutus hath said 'Grow
was ambitious.' If so 'twas a grievous fault and grievously hath Grow
answered it. This charge must be
heard, for Brutus will be an honorable man. Yet, yet, this very day,
thrice I offered him crib notes and
thrice he thrust them away scornfUlly. Is this then ambition?"
At this query, the motley mob
murmured resentfully. One voice
grumbled, "This'll niake Dr. Burroughs turn over in his arm chair.''
His neighbor silenced him immediately. "Are you mad, man? It's almost
mid term!"
Again Behrendt's voice rang out.
"But yesterday, Grow's voice
might have stood against the stings
and arrows ~f outrageous bibliographic schedules; now here he lies.
Were I to dispose you to wrath
against the spindle wielding perpetrators of this vile deed, I would do
noble Frenzel wrong. And you know
Frenzel is an honorable man.''
Again the crowd murmured and
again a voice grumbled, "Noble Frenzel, bah! Who is lone Crabzuski ?"
Amid cries of "Silence! Silence! Let
him go on," the noble Behrendt continued.
"Friends, friends, I beseech you.
Let us not quibble. It is true Grow
lived; now he lies in death. If you
have tears, prepare to shed them
now. Here is his mantle; here the
accursed spindle ran him through,
and here the scissors, borne by the
noble Frenzel, entered his human
form. This is the unkindest cut of
all, for with the thrust of Brutus
Frenzel, Julius Grow fell - pierced
by a beloved hand.''
'Here the crowd burst into cries of
rage. "Hang them, hang them! Kill
the conspirators." Another voice
broke out. "Death? Never! Even
Geography lab is too good for them.''
At this point the back door of the
auditorium opened. Amid the cries
and shouts of the multitude the men
entering were not noticed until the
crowd turned to seek the conspirators.
"There they are! There they are!
After them.'' Brutus Frenzel and
Casca Halverson were indeed present
and followed by Cinna Madison and
Cassius Boettcher moved slowly down
the aisle. But upon hearing the
furious cries of the crowd, they turned tail and fled, the mob in hot pursuit. At last report, the four conspirators had barricaded themselves
in Miss Roach's office, refusing all
demands of surrender.
So ended the funeral of our erstwhile editor (may he rest in peace).
See the April 1 issue, 1956 for further details.
Inquiring Reporter
After hearing of the great tragedy
which has befallen us all, the assistant editor sent us to feel the public's
pulse, as you were, on this grave subject. The inquiry was advanced to
many people in this manner: "Do
you not think, pray tell, it a huge
catastrophe that Julius Grow was
sneakily stabbed down dead yet by
person or persons, which ever the
case may be?"
Answers:
Calpurnia Holstein: "Yes! Definitely! I tole him an I tole him to
look out for them staff members,
that's what I tole him. But woddy
do it?" (Miss Calpurnia, incidentally, is alleged to be Julius Grow's
wife.)
Portia Braatz:
"Whose Julius
Grow? Ain't he the Iris editor?"
(Miss Portia is employed at Frank's
Pool and Ice Cream Parlor as well
as being Brutus Frenzel's wife.)
Brutus Frenzel (Himself! ! ! ) : "I
have done no more to Grow than you
shall do to Frenzel, if you can catch
me."
Cassius
Boettcher:
"Only
I
couldn't quite see it myself you see,
but Frenzel kept saying as how we'd
got to do it, so do it it was.'' (Boettcher is a cigar maker from way back
and equally small repute.)
Anthony Behrendt: "He was my
friend, faithful and just to me. Never
gave me assignments, never sent me
after Cokes on Monday nights, never
threatened to have me put on the
Iris staff. I guess he proved 'twas
nobler: aye, there's the rub: for in
that sleep of death what ills may
come?"
Tuftonion Beamishish: "The possibilities of its unique importance and
effect upon the furtherance of student publications are practically unlimited. This is so.''
Casca Halverson: "Bless you! I
always wanted to get my name in
that paper." (but then, that's like
Halverson.)
Clifton Webanowitz: "Beware the
end of Marrrrrrrrrrchh.'' (The poor
old soothsayer is blind and probably
took us for Julius Grow.)
From the general type of answers
we received, it may be concluded that
it is none of our business what they
think about it.

Iris StaR Completes Final .Copy;
Publication Ready For Printers
By Ginny Bricco
The slight gale felt on Tuesday of
this week was only the sighs of relief
and satisfaction of the Iris staff as
they shipped the final copy of this
year's Iris off to the printers. It is
now wending it's way to Topeka,
Kansas where Myers and Co. will
take over.
.This year there will be 152 pages,
which is ~2 more than last year.
The theme follows the idea of "The
Pressure of Time in College." (All
of us seem quite familiar with that
theme.) The editor of the Iris, Jo
Daniels said, "We tried to make it
different. Either it will be stunning
or a complete flop. We believe an
annual should be more than a record
of time. It should have lots of creative ability in it." Myers and Co. will
ship the completed book out on May
18. It should arrive here about May
21.
The staff had four deadlines to
meet. For each they had to send in
38 pages to be printed. It is a little
nerve racking too, because none of
the pages come back for proof-r~ad­
ing to see how they look when prmted. No one sees "hide nor hair" of
them until the completed book is returned, so if anyone "has goofed"
he will know it in May.
"I've lived with the book so long,
it's just a part of me," Jo laughed.
"It's really a lot of fun and a great
experience. By February you ~re
pretty disgusted and ready to giVe
up the ship. But then when you're
finished, and the staff for next year
is picked, you start getting excited
all over..again about the next one. We
almost made two terrific mistakes
this ·year," Jo continued. "We had
the Young Democrats labeled as
Young Republicans. And just as
bad, we had a nice big Phi Sig caption on the Sip Ep picture. You can
bet your boots we were glad to have
discovered those errors now rather
than in June."
,
Mr. Specht, with his crew of photographers, is a part of the Iris. They
work laboriously to make the photography "the best." "We waited until
the last week to take pictures of the
spring sports so as to have nice
weather," Jo laughed. "The tennis

Don't be Surprised: The program
Committee at CSC has done a tremendous job this year. We have had
a good variety of entertainment. To
be perfectly frank, we have had
everything but good attendance at
these programs. The administration
does not dismiss classes just because
they feel we need an added one
hour vacation each week. The average student attendance for these
"free hour" assemblies has been 150
students per program. Many people
around here are growing tired of
seeing our talented guests appear before a one-fourth full assembly.
This could easily mean that our "free
hour" system will be ju-st a pleasant
memory next year.

HERE'S HOW

Hi! How's everyone during this
should-be spring weather? According
to the way all the students (and
faculty) ' have been bundled up the
past week, it's a bit too chilly for
most. Ah, well, better days are bound·
to come. Today we'll take a look at
some more "eti-cues" to help out in
some of those worrisome situations.

very few guys seem to know. Remember, petals up! You never put

your hair. ·
If Joe calls you at the last rnj.nute

is to think it over a bit before saying,
"NO!" Maybe he works or was out
of town with the team or Glee club
and didn't know if he could go until
the last minute. Or he may be low on
finances and just figu~ed out how he
could swing the Prom on his budget.

Girls, a complaint has been uttered
in the male section. They like to
compliment a gal occasionally, but
seem to think most girls shrug off
any bouquets they toss in the direction of the fair sex. If the fellow
tells you you look nice or that your
new dress is pretty, say "Thank you"
instead of "This old rag?" He will
be more anxious to give you a compliment in the future instead of feeling
uneasy about saying nice things.
That's it for now. See you next issue. 'Bye.
Fellows, have you ever wondered
how you and your gal should be

there's a foursome? Fellows should
sit on the outside and their dates sit

that way. Also, here's a tip for the

Pranks, Work, And Comfort Greet
The Mighty Men Of Delzell JJall
By Mary Braatz
"Student self-discipline has made
living at Delzell Hall pleasant during
the past year." This quote from Raymond E. Specht, resident director
of Delzell Hall, gives an excellent
idea of how enjoyable life in a men's
dormitory can be.
Delzell Hall
houses 84 male students of esc. It
shares honors with the college library
as one of the new additions to our
campus.
This dormitory is run for the most
part by supervised student government, the Dorm Council, made up
of four wing managers, four wing
representatives, and a dorm president. Earl Grow, Bob Wyman, Carl
Huberty, and Mel Karau are the wing
managers, hired by Mr. Specht at the
beginning of the school year. Their
chief duties are to keep order in their
r.espective wings and to serve on the
Council. Roger Doran, Bob Wyman,
Mel Karau, and Joel Weaver are
wing representatives, elected by the
occupants of each wing. Mel Karau
is Dorm President.
All the desk work and many of the
maintenance duties a,re performed by
student help. Ron Larson is in
charge of maintenance work on the
first floor and Jack Crook, on the
second. Larry LaBelle does general
1naintenance work. Larry, when asked what he was going to do with all
his earnings from the shoveling away
· of the last snow banks, replied that
.he was . going to take a trip to California. The Golden State looks pretty' good to snow-filled Wisconsin
eyes.
Delzell Hall possesses many facilities which make living there easier
and more pleasant. The Student
Union., under the management of
Mark Farris, provides a good deal
of entertainment for fancy-free
Delzell dwellers. Here are found a
television set, snackbar, and dance
floor, all to be u sed by college students.
The basement, where the Student
Union is located, also holds two
'clothes washers, two dryers, and an
ironer for domestic-minded mates.
The first floor holds the lobby, desk,
. and all-important mailboxes. On the
s'e cond floor is a study room, especially designed for privacy-inclined stu,._ dents. The third floor . . . . well,
as yet it's just a 'roof, but the future
holds plans for a complete third
floor to house more men.
Most of the men living at Delzell
eat their meals at Nelson Hall. There
are no hours or checking in and out
for inhabitants of the men's dorm ;
the occupants do their own deciding
about matters of this sort. Quiet
hours are from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. Cooperative observance of the few rules
such as these brings about excellent
results.
Life in the dorm can really be a
grand old existence at times. Mr.
Specht testifies that Earl Grow and
cronies are more entertainment than
a television show, which may very
well be true. Upon occasion, military
discipline prevails, and heel clicking
and salutes are very likely to be the
greeting Mr. Specht receives when
he enters the lobby. There are bull
sessions to top all bull sessions with
15 men and their opinions crowded
into one room.
Card playing in the wee hours of
the night, especially between Jerry
Madison and his Marshfield gang,
keeps less alert dorm dwellers out of
dreamland. In fact, Delzell Hall has
more "night life" than would ordinarily be suspected. Bill Bacher and
Frank Hanson argue in French until
their next-door room-partners pound
on the walls. Jack Charlesworth and
his malt-mixer provide some tasteful
entertainment.
Popcorn popping is a favorite occupation; no one minds anything
about this except the grease left in
the washroom bowls. Often, when a
boy ventures from his room at night,
he forgets to un-set the lock on his
door.
A sudden breeze whisks
through; and the luckless fellow
find himself locked out in the cold.
Re-entrance to his room means he
must wake up his partner or some
person possessing a master key. Bedlam ma'Y result, for no one relishes a
night spent in the hall.
Morning comes, and its arrival is
usually signaled by some early bird
(and presumbaly a "dirty" one) clipclopping down the hall to the showers
at 6: 2 0 a.m. The dorm soon stirs into life. If an inspection is in the offing, mops are quickly dragged out
and put to work, although it is the
general opinion that there is more
dirt in the mops than in all the roorris
combined. Then, to the accompaniment of a determined ukelele player
on the second floor, the men start out
on another school day.
The before-mentioned ukelele player is a new addition to the dorm this
semester and really rates additional
mention. He, his faithful instrument, and his time-beating foot provide the background music for most
of the dorm activities. Rumor has it
that his name is Al Sabin. From
morn to night, the mournful twang
of his uke rises above the normal
mild noise of dorm life. A band, an
orchestra, two glee clubs, and a
chorus- and now esc has a new
member of its music menagerie the ukelele player on the second
floor of Delzell Hall.
There is always. something happening at the dorm. Bob Prielipp tells
of the time when Mr. Specht was distributing guards for chair legs, going from room to room, and knocking. When h e reached. Bob's room
and knocked, Bob, not knowing who
was there,·t·yelled,
· "Come in." Mr.
S pee ht , wa1 mg f or
a more cordial in't t'
k
VI a IOn,
nocked again. This time,
Bob' yelled, "If you don't want 1o
come in, go away!" Mr. Specht entered, gave Bob his chair guards, and
told him the hammer would be
around shortly.
Then there was the night of the
popcorn party in Carl Boettcher's
room. Carl left to get Coke, and returned to find half a can of salt in
his bed: This was the same night
that Carl and a guy named "Hook"
tried to throw Ken Kritz (clothes
and all) into the shower. Everyone
got soaked except Ken, who escaped
as dry as he'd been to start out with.
Ken, sporting a short, short haircut,
tortured Sam, the new Korean student, by telling him that all college
men get their hair cut short on April
Fool's Day. Sam clutched his head
and ran down the hall, screaming,
"No! No!" He was finally reassured
.
that he didn't have to have his hair
cut like Ken's if he didn't want to.
It -is agreed by all that Delzell
Hall is one of the most outstanding
places on CSC's campus. Mrs. Specht
feels that she is having quite an experience, being the only woman livirtg with ,84 men and her husband.
It would be quite an experience for
anyone.
Cleanliness is next to godliness and the modern laundry facilities of
Delzell Hall insure that the men have spotless duds. Wayne Schmidt
checks to see how badly he ruined another shirt.

.
River Falls Is Site
Five CWA members, Roberta
Vaughn, Mary Bartelt, Dorothy Gerner, Bernice Hahn, and Diana Bloom,

a short skit the meeting was adjourned and group discussions were
begun. After luncheon, the discussions were resumed until 3:45.
"' A banquet was held in the college
cafeteria at 6:30 Saturday evening.
Following reports from each of the
discussions, the · g uest speaker, Roy

Primary Council Meets
By Felisa Borja
At a recent meeting of Primary
Council, its members decided not to
send any delegates to the ACEI (Association of Childhood Education International) conve ntion at Kansas
City, Missouri. It has been the policy of · the organization to send delegates, but this year they voted
against it and instead the money will
be spent for some other projects.
Each year Primary Council awards
a $45 scholarship to an outstanding
junior. This year it was decided that
another award of the same value
should be given to a second junior
in the Primary division.
Primary Council hopes to send
several delegates to the state convention of the ACEI, which will be at
Lake Delevan, Wisconsin, on May
13 and 14. Expenses for dele~ates to
this convention are paid for by Primary Council. The delegates have
not been chosen yet.
The college string ensemble tunes up under the watchful eye of diredor Dr. Hugo D. Marple.

German Rabbi To Speak
In Classes On April 14
Students Await Return
Of Famed Dublin Players
By Pat Sisel
The Assembly committee, with Dr.
Hugo D. Marple as chairman, has
announced that Rabbi Manfred E.
Swarsensky will speak to several
c~asses here on April 14. There will
be no evening assembly as printed on
the school calendar.
A look into Rabbi Swarsensky's
background indicates that his talks
will be well worth listening to.
Rabbi Swarsensky was born near
Berlin, Germany, and upon graduation from high school attended a
theological seminary in Berlin, and
the
Universities of Wuersburg,
Bavaria and Berlin. He was ordained a Rabbi and received a Ph.D. degree.
From 1930 until 1939, he served as
Rabbi of the Berlin Jewish com-
The Dublin Players, famous stage
company direct from Ireland, will
return to the college for the second
year whea they appear here on the
evenings of May 9, 10, and 11, under
the auspices of the college assembly
committee.
The company, made up of the finest actors from Ireland's famous Abbey and Gate Theatres, has been
rated as "top entertainment" by
Variety Magazine. "The finest company to come here in 20 years," says
Ed Sullivan, on whose "Toast of the
Town" television program they appeared ·s everal times.
Last year they played before capacity audiences in the college auditorium, presenting Shaw's "Pygmalion:," . Synge's "Playboy of the
Western World," and Paul Vincent
Carroll's "Shadow and Substance." ·
This year, the Players will present three more plays from their
varied repertoire, Bernard Shaw's
"The Devil's Disciple" on May 9;
Sean O'Casey's "Juno and the Payaock" on May 10; and Lennox Robinson's "The Far Off Hills" on May
11.
Student tickets for the Dublin
Players will be ready on April 13, 14,
and 15. Students may obtain one
free ticket for any of the plays, and
those students who wish to see more
than one play may purchase additional tickets for $1.00 each. After
April 15, the tickets will be sold to
townspeople, many of whom have already ca~led asking when they may
make reservations for tickets.

munity, officiating at the two largest
liberal temples of the city. When,
in 1938, the Nazis destroyed the
synagogue, Rabbi Swarsensky was
placed in a concentration camp. He
was released in 19 3 9, and in the fall
of that year came to the United
States.
After serving as an assistant rabbi
in Chicago, Ill., he was sent to Madison to organize a congregation there.
At present he is spiritual leader of
Temple Beth El in Madison and
serves as civilian chaplain at · the
Veterans Administration Hospital in
Wisconsin and at Truax Field Air
Base.
Active in religious and civic organizations in Wisconsin, Rabbi
Swarsensky is a member of the Governor's Committee on Human Rights.

Mrs. Garten Gives
"Dolhnaker" Review
By Pat Sisel
Beautifully attired in a royal blue
dress, sprinkled with brill.iants, Kathryn Turney Garten !iJtepped through
the curtains last Monday evening for
her seventh appearance in the college auditorium. Before a capacity
crowd, she presented her interpretatibn of Harriet Arnow's book, "The
Dollmaker," hailed by critics as one
of the most distinguished novels of
the past year.
"The Dollmaker" is the story of
the indestructability of a simple
mountain woman as she is faced with
one of the crises in her life- having
to move from the farm in Kentucky,
where she belongs, to a tenement in
the slums of Detroit. Big, rawboned

Sig Episodes Show That
The Army Isn't All Work
By Sharon Zentner
The Sig Ep show, presented by
Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity, was
given last Tuesday and Wednesday
nights, March 22, 23, in the audito·rium. The 1955 show was presented
as a take-off on army life and was
entitled "This is the Army."
The first act of the show was "Induction." Five unwilling recruits
were checked by "Dr." Mark Farris.
After being given a rigorous exam,
their clothes were issued to them and
they were on their way in the service
of their country and their fraternity.
Sergeant Ron Young put his six
men through the paces, tryin'g to
teach the fellows how to tell their
left foot from their right foot. After
various mishaps, the men policed up
the area and continued to give 1 old
"Sarge" a bad time.
In their off duty hours, the G. I.'s
gathered to do some singing and also
to enjoy a little brew. Leroy Purchatzke sang "Under An OrangeColored Sky" and "Walking My Baby
Back Home." Dick Haas loosened up
his joints for a dance to "Deep In
the Heart of Texas."
For "Pay Day," "Prexy" Wendelin
Frenzel spoke for the fraternity, and
the remainder of the act called for
audience participation. Ushering was
done by members of Tau Gamma
Beta sorority. Through the generosity of the audience, the Sig Eps
were able to send a check for $2 5 to
the Easter Seal fund.
"I:he boys really had a bad time on
the ship as it swayed violently to and
fro. The ship moved so realistically
that a couple of students walked out
of the auditorium, wearing the most
peculiar shade of green. Carl Huberty was probably the most ill of the
crew, as they had to pull him out
from under the bunks only to hear
him cry for the glory of Pershing.
Earl Grow was trying his best to
get Ellis Weaver, Wendelin Frenzel,
Carl Boettcher and Mark Farris to
learn their parts to the skit for the
barracks theater prize of a free weekend ·pass. His efforts were in vain, as
sleep seized his star-studged cast.
The grand finale featured the entire fraternity in a variety of uniforms joining vehemently in "This is
the Army!" Is it??
ization that God is everywhere for
her, she comes to accept it.
Mrs. Garten's interpretation revealed the simplicity and compassion
of the main character very well. The
energy and vitality of Mrs. Garten's
personality was evident in her forthright rather than subtle treatment of
the selection, and in the lively, varied
tempo of the reading. Her direct,
personal manner, and her ability to
create suspense held the audience
throughout the presentation.
Mrs. Garten, who is from Indianapolis, Indiana, was sponsored by
the Business and Professional Women's club of Stevens Point. Money
raised from the sale of tickets for
the program will be placed in the
scholarship fund and awarded to
some deserving P. J. Jacobs Higl).
