Although she was a pretty busy gal, Nancy still found time for her religion. Besides doing more than her share of solo work in church, she became quite active in the Wesley organization.

Her college grades were mostly B's (no C's, five A's) during her freshman year as a state college student. But in high school she graduated as valedictorian and was granted a legislative scholarship. Although she doesn't make her own clothes she dresses well enough to be named one of the 10 best dressed coeds at college last year. She estimates that her campus wardrobe costs about $100 a year to maintain. "I only had two formal dresses at college," she recalls, "but I only went to two formal dances last year." After this year as Alice in Dairyland Nancy will return to college. She is paying her own way and plans to teach after graduation, at least for Gordy Faust two years.

FAMILIAR FACES Long dark hair, dark-rimmed glasses, and sometimes even dark circles under her eyes are some of the features of this week's "Familiar Face." She is Nancy Coon (Miss Coon to the eighth grade girls at Emerson, and Nancy to her many friends and associates at C S C). Nancy was born and raised on a farm near Wittenberg, Wisconsin, and she loves it. When the time came, she entered Wittenberg High School, and it didn't take her long to get acquainted. Soon Nancy was singing in the choir and the glee club, out for forensics (serious declamation and extemporaneous reading), a cheerleader, assistant editor of the school newspaper, working on the annual, and taking home economic subjects. Shown above is President William C. Hansen as he set off the alarm for the fire drill last Tuesday. President Wm. Hansen, Man at the Helm William C. Hansen certainly does not fit the Hollywood prototype of a college president. A tall, grey-haired. bespectacled gentleman, President Hansen has always a ready smile and greeting for faculty and students alike. Stevens Point was not new to him when in December of 1940 he accepted the presidency of the college, for he is an alumnus of the institution. Coming here from Withee, Wisconsin, 7 5 miles distance on the Soo Line main line, President Hansen graduated in 1911 from the two-year English-Scientific course then being offered. His first teaching assignment as mathematics and history instructor in Menominee Falls High School had at least one very important consequence. It was here, during his twoyear stay as instructor, that he met Mrs. Hansen, a student at the high school. After two more years of study, this time in the College of Agriculture at the University of Wisconsin, he received his B. S. degree in 1915. This was followed by a two-year stay at St. Croix Falls, where he taught agriculture. President Hansen's administrative career began in 1917 when he accepted a position as principal of the Union Free High School at Milltown, Wisconsin. He remained there for five years, teaching agriculture in addition to his administrative duties. The Neilsville school system engaged him as supervising principal in 1922, but by 1929 he left to become superintendent of schools at Oconto. "Oconto was quite a lumber town then," he muses, "with two big sawmills. Now they're both gone." From 1932 until he accepted the administration of Central State, Pre·· sident Hansen was superintendent of schools at Stoughton. Assured when he was offered the position that Central State was a good place to come- in, sit down, and rest, he has found it entails many other duties and responsibilities which fail to come under the above description. In addition to his administrative projects, he has always taken a very active part in civic affairs. A member of ten years' standing in the Kiwanis Club, he has occupied all offices in that organization except that of governor. His membership in Rotary is of 25 years duration, and he has served as president of two clubs. During his three summers at Neilsville, he spent some time at Eau Claire, teaching biology and art. He also was elected president of the North Western Wisconsin Teachers Association, a group which convenes annually at Eau Claire. Whii:e residing in Stoughton, President .Han- sen headed a similar organization, the Southern Wisconsin Teachers Association. A past president of the Wisconsin Education Association, he now has a lifetime membership. The organization began its curriculum planning by teacher and committees while he was at the helm. Married since 1917, President and Mrs. Hansen have four daughters, three of whom served with the Armed Forces during World War II. Helen and Ann, both graduate nurses from the University of Wisconsin School of Nursing, served in the Army Nurse Corps. Helen is now the school nurse at Platteville State College. Ann is married to Peer Buck of Fort Bragg, North Carolina. Her husband is a Major in 77th Airborne Division. Ruth, who graduated as a hospital dietician from the University, spent most of her time in the service at Schick General Hospital, Clinton, Iowa; while her sisters spent time in the Pacific and Mediterranean areas. Ruth is married to Bruce Sanderson of Birmingham, Michigan, and has one son. Kathy, the youngest of his four, attended Central State College for two years before continuing on at the University to take her degree in institutional management. She is now married to a Wausau attorney, Robert Dean, and resides in Rothschild with their two girls and three boys. President Hansen has found CSC's administration considerably more difficult than that first persuader had informeq him. In the public school system, a superintendent always has a school board with whom to consult on important decisions, but here he is somewhat more on his own. When asked his opinion of the student body, and his ambitions for th~ college as regards them, President Hansen stated, "Generally speaking, we have a well-behaved group. A few disappoint us, but in a school of this size that is to be expected. On the whole, the number of disciplinary cases we've had to deal with during my administration has been exceptionally small. I believe it is due to the home backgrounds of our students, where they found high standards and an appreciation of the worth of money, that result in their good conduct. "One of the things we've been working at for the past 17 years is to gradually improve the standards of scholarship of the college. We aren't trying to flunk out students - just bring them up to an acceptable scholastic standard. I feel we have made some progress toward this goal." • As I'egards his work here at Central State, President Hansen comments, "On the whole it's been pretty good. I've enjoyed being here." Too soon those four years of high school life came to a close and collegElife commenced. Central State opened a few new horizons for Nancy and she dashed right in. One of the first and newest experiences was living in the dorm: lots of kids around, lots of chatter, the porch,, the friendly cooks. Oh, that was great fun! The only thing that was missing was sleep. However, Nancy didn't mind that since she doesn't like to sleep that's a waste of time! Nancy survived in the dorm for two years, and then she moved into a private home that had cooking privileges. Next nine weeks she will live in the Home Management House (she is a home economics major with a science minor). Here she will receive training in managing a home, which may prove useful some day! Alice in Dairyland Nancy Coon One of the things that puzzled Nancy a little when she first arrived on the C S C campus was the Greeks. She couldn't figure out what they were doing in Stevens Point. However, much to her amazement, she soon discovered that they were just a bunch of sororites and fraternities. It wasn't too long before Nancy met some of the real, live girls who were members of these sororities! Pi:etty soon she was being rushed, then it was time to pledge. That certainly was a big decision - should she or shouldn't she, and if so, which sorority? Nancy chose the Alpha Sigs in fact, she was secretary-treasurer of her pledge class. Then she became an active member. Pretty soon she was corresponding secretary, then president of Alpha Sigma Alpha - a thrilling experience. She is now the Alpha Sigs' Member at Large, a member of the quartet, and Intersorority president! She must even like the girls in Alpha Sigma Alpha because she has always had five or six of them for roommates. While Nancy was being oriented to all the new things at college, she still found enjoyment in some of her high school interests - one of these was music. It wasn't long before she was singing in the choir and the glee club. In fact, pretty soon she started taking voice lessons - she even gave up cheerleading, which was one of the activities she enjoyed most in high school, for them. She progressed very rapidly in voice - so much that last spring she received the Alpha Kappa Rho Music Award for making progress in applied music. Alpha Kappa Rho is the music fraternity, and Nancy is an active member. They gave her solo parts with the choir quite a few in fact. Nancy doesn't mind that "longhaired stuff" either, for she has had the lead in several of the operas which have been put on here at C S C. At the present time, she is working on THE POINTER Religious Club News The 5 new foreign students at esc point to their homes on a map of the world. They are, fram left to right, Ursula Blanke {Bonn, Grmany), Irene Chen (Hong Kong), Eddje Tao (Hong Kong), Sae Jin Hwong {Seoul, Korea), and Won Choi (Seoul, Korea). CSC Welcomes Five New Students From Abroad Five new foreign students have joined the student body at Central State College. They are representatives of Germany, Iran, Korea, and China. Blue-eyed Ursula Blanke of Germany, a junior, is majoring in the Letters and Science Division. Before coming to esc. she studied philosophy, English, and the history of art 1 at Bonn University. Ursula has many interests. Two which she enjoys very much are reading and classical music. Because Ursula is an exchange student, she will be here in Stevens Point only one year. Then she will return to Germany where she plans to work in the history of art department at Bonn University.· Irene Chen and Eddie Tao are Junior Students from Hong Kong, China. Both are continuing their studies in chemistry, having studied chemistry at Chung Chi College. Eddie enjoys playing softball and was a member of a championship team in China. He also has a brother at Wartburg College in Waverly, Iowa. Petite Irene named dancing as one of her favorite recreations. Sae Jin Hwang and Won Choi are both from Seoul, Korea. Sae Jin Hwang was a captain in the Korean Army for six years. Before the Korean War he studied at Pusan University. While at CSC, Sae Jin will specialize in Criminology. Sae Jin is also adept at sports, such as boxing and swimming. Won Choi was also a member of the Korean Army in which he held the rank of ser;eant. Here at Central State College he will major in Business Administration. Won enjoys sports such as boating very much. Iran is represented at CSC by Soulati Jamshid. Jim is also a junior student majoring in Chemistry. He had attended school at River Falls and the University of Wisconsin before coming to Stevens Point. He enjoys playing ping pong and the mandolin. In the future, Jim has hopes of studying medicine. The new students all like Central State College and the friendliness of its students. We all hope they enjoy the time they will spend here at esc studying with us. Library Treasures Among the valuable possessions of the C. S. C. library are several of the first attempts in the art of printing. These books, early implements for teaching children, are mounted on cardboard and are available upon request. A horn book, the stem from which all primers were developed, was the earliest tool for teaching children to read. It consists of a simple leaf of paper containing the ABC's, some combinations of letters, and the Lord's Prayer. Mounted on a frame of wood, the paper is covered with transparent horn to protect it from the dirty fingers of the child. This set of fifteen books was used from the year 1500 onwards. Today there are only three or four specimens in the country The oldest in existence, which brought $325,000 at a sale in London in 1865, belonged to Charles I. Using paper over 100 years old, Charles Welsh made the reproduction and wrote the coinciding explanation found in the library. To inform young and old on all subjects, chap books were printed in the latter half of the eighteenth century. Since they were flimsy and much used, these little books have become exceedingly rare and now fetch high prices. Harvard College owns the finest collection of chap books in America. There are five other reproductions by Welsh of books used in early instruction at the CSC library. New England Primer, Battledore, Mother Goose Melody, History of Little Goody Two Shoes, and The Old Woman and Her Pig are the titles in the order of which they were written. These books may be seen by any interested students in the esc library. Mr. Nelis Kampenga, head librarian, would be happy to supply further information on this subject. Freshmen Elections In elections held on Wednesday, October second, the following people were elected to lead the Freshman class: president, Dave Carpenter; vice-president, Bob Wendt; secretary, Mary Jane Martinson; treasurer, Charles Ross; and Student Council, Chris Wekwert. H o m e c o m i n g time has rolleJ. around once again, and ev"eryone, including the religious clubs, is busy on their floats and other projects. We hope that they aren't too busy to get their news in to the Pointer office, though. Come on, you reporters, surely your club is doing something, isn't it? Two clubs did get their news in, however, so we'll forgive the others this time and see what is going on in Trigon and the Newman Club. The members of TRIGON had a pot-luck dinner on Sunday, Sept. 22, at the Frame Memorial Presbyterian Chruch. After the meal the group joined in singing some religious songs. Rev. Todd of the Evangalical and Reformed Church gav~ a short talk on the importance of youth in the Church. The next TRIGON meeting will be held on Thursday, Oct. lOth at 6:00 P.M. in the basement of the Frame Memorial Presbyterian Church. The Deacons of this church will provide the group with a delicious dinner. After the dinner, the group will be treated with the showing of the film "MARTIN LUTHER". Members who don't have cars can get a ride up to the church by being at Nelson Hall at -5:45 P.M. on Oct. lOth. Members are also urged to sign heir names on the TRIGON Daily Double at CSC No, you aren't seeing double. There are two of them! There are two sets of twins on campus this year, both sets being in the Freshman class. Gwen and Greta Eckman, who were born just a minute apart, hail from Theresa, a small town in the southern part of Wisconsin. They are both Home Economics majors and believe that being a twin has both it's good and bad points. These identical twins dress alike, which makes their identity even more confusing. They are every bit twins. It is not as easy to identify the other set of twins on campus, Dick and Tom Cook. These two fellows are complete opposites. Their home town is Merrill, Wisconsin, and they are both Conservation majors, liking all types of outdoor sports. Both pairs of twins like it here at C. S. C. and the best of luck to them. Text Library Open Daily Mrs. Edward Vrobel, manager of the text book library, is to be found busy among the books or doing secretarial work in the text book library from nine to five eac:Q. day. A native 'Stevens Pointer', Mrs. Vrobel moved to Chicago in 1942, returning to Stevens Point in 1955. She and her husband now live at 504 S. Michigan Avenue. Mrs. Vrobel has held her position in the text book library since August first of this year. She readily admits she enjoys her work very much because of her contact with the students, but is glad the hectic week of registration is over. Mr. and Mrs. Vrobel have one daughter, Carol, living in Chicago. Along with reading, Mrs. Vrobel lists as her favorite pastimes her two grand-children, Patti Lynn and Mary Beth. She also stated that complete information on purchasing texts would be available after October tenth. Library Policy Told The policy of the CSC library concerning fine notices will be changed, effective Tuesday, October 15. The delivery of notes to classes warning students that an overnight book has not been returned will now be placed in the individual mail boxes. It will be the duty of each person to check his mailbox before fines have mounted excessively, or before another student has been inconvenienced. This fine money is of no beneficial use to Central State College as it is added to the state's general fund and may not be used for the purchase of books or assistant's wages. Patronize Pointer Advertisers I Bulletin board if they plan to attend the dinner-meeting. The next meeting of the NEWMAN CLUB will be held at the Pachelli High School· Auditorium this evening, Oct. 10, at .7 o'clock. At this meeting all Catholics (freshmen and upper classmen), who have not been formally initiated into the Newman Club will receive information about the initiation activities which will be held on October 24. Also at the meeting the topic for discussion will be "Mixed Marriages". Homecoming is approaching and the float chairman needs plenty of help constructing the float. A notice will be posted on the Newman Club bulletin board in regard to the times that they will work on the float. A meeting for those willing to work on the float will be held after the regular meeting tonight. Fenemore1 s Homecoming As you may know, "Homecoming" is the Latin word for "gotta get to your house." It was first used in 1200 B.C. by an orphaned parakeet on the Island of Zweka. A group of shipwrecked baseball players, looking for a new franchise for the New York Giants, later brought the word to the United States. Since then the word "Homecoming" has always brought tears to the hearts and eyes of all homeless birds and lost athletes, (so etimes referred to as college students.) Many stories have been written about Homecoming: its history and heroes, its victories and defeats. But probably the most famous legend concerning this great American pastime is The Homecoming of Fenemore Wenovitch. Fennemore "Fannie" Wenovitch was the unsung Irish hero of the Crimean War. At the early age of nine, Fennie displayed his great love for his country when he made his decision to fight for the Turks. The day he left for battle, his sweetheart walked with him on the road to Crimea. Fennie, being the sensitive lad that he was, could not bear to see his lover crying and when her sobs reached the point of heartbreak, Fennie took off his necktie and hung her in the nearest elm tree. Fannie's sweetheart is believed to be the· first Homecoming candidate. Since then. however, this unscrupulous act has been replaced by the rather tame custom of hanging female pictures on the corridor walls of colleges and high schools. On his way to Crimea, Fennie met ;~. fishmonger. Not having eaten for 13 days, he bought a sardine from the old man. The sardine, being a few months out of the water and not too well preserved, was inedible and thus the beginning of Homecoming banquets. If you wonder why we refer to all this as Homecoming, we need only to say that when Fennie reached Crimea the medical examiners pronounced him 4F and so he began his trip home and the start of Homecoming parades. The feast that Fennie's friends prepared for his Homecoming consisted of a few cakes and much ale. Fennie, a little disappointed in himself, overindulged to the point of being unrecognizable. This originated the saying, "Ales well at Homecoming but it ain't Fennie." The moral of this and all Homecoming stories is that if you are nine years old and you hang your girl and eat a rotten sardine, even the army won't want you.

New Reserve Librarian Pictured above are Mrs. Esther Kearby and Mrs. Edward Vrobel, the two newest members of our library staff. Mrs. Kearby is reserve librarian and Mrs. Vrobel is textbook librarian. Miss Koczak's tary to the deans, trouble keeping that it includes. In u.u.ul'~~u·n gular office duties of tv·nttiE,:· ·.1 hand, and filing, Miss Kc~e~~:aJt; with work on student ployment, and with which may prove to be students. Esther Kearby has now begun her duties as the reserve librarian at Central State. Originally from Kansas, Mrs. Kearby attended Kansas State College in 1956. Following her graduation she taught third grade in Topeka, Kansas. Mrs. Kearby arrived in Stevens Point in the early part of September, and plans to remain here until her husband's graduation from Central State. Although her work at the library and keeping house· leaves little free time, she and her i.1usband are members of Trigon, and she enjoys sewing. Miss Koczak has lived m 8tevtm8 Point all of her life and grad~ated from P. J. Jacobs high school with the class of 1957. While Iii high school, Miss Koczak's classes followed a business course which helped her prepare for her present einployment. In addition to her studies, she held the position of student secretary to the Director of Vocatiooal Guidance during her senior year. Also adding to her experience was her work as pres.ident of the Future Bustness Leaders of America organization. It seems that Miss Koczak has Itttie spare time on her hands, even after office hours, but she does find time to do some reading and letter writing to her friends attendtbg colleges other than esc. Miss Koczak says she enJoys her work very much, and that she especially likes the opportunities which she has to meet the people from the college. Omeg's Advisor Ethel V. Hill, faculty member of CSC's Home Economics Department, has added another feature to her activities. She will serve as advisor of the Omega Mu Chi sorority for the coming year, taking the place of Miss Patricia Reilly. Miss Hill came to Central State College last year as director of the Home Management Cottage, and this year is continuing in home economic classes. Miss Reilly, former director of the girls' glee club at esc and advisor of Omega Mu Chi, is now furthering her education at Indiana University. The Omegs wish to extend a large "Welcome" to Miss Hill and to wish Miss Reilly the best of luck. . College Library Explains Liberal Lending System The CSC library adopted, in March, 1957, a liberal system of lending books to students. It is necessary that all college students understand and follow the rules under this system. Two week books are lent for the customary 14 days. However, need for a longer period of use is recognized and an extension of time will be granted automatically. No notofication of this extension of time is made to the borrower on the stamped 14th day due but on the 28th day of use a notice is mailed asking return of the book by Tuesday of the following week. This gives a final weekend without penalty to 'complete reading and study of the book. It is expected under this liberality of lending that a final notice will have to be sent rarely. If use of a specific title seems essential beyond this period of automatic extension of time, application should be made to the librarian in charge of circulation for special b~rrowing. • THE POINTER Student Union Hours an averJohn Steton Falcon garnered a ..., ....... ,.,,a•·~~ for an average per game.

There is a.. basic lack of size and e:lperience but Coach Polsfoot feels that overall team desire !plus a fatr amount of backfield speed will be the big factor in week-to-week improvement and avoidance of the mistakes that crop up with· a young inexperienced ball club. There are only fQJir seniors on the team, which also includes Jn freshmen, 20 sophomores, and four juniors. Polsfoot and staff will broaden the attack somewhat from previous years, using plays off the T as well as single wing formations. It looks like a rough game ahead for the Pointers.

Laird; Congressman from the 7th Congressional District; was present and gave the group an inter,sting talk on the first session of the 85th Congress. After he finished his talk, he opened the meeting to a questionanswer period. Many interesting questions were asked by the students. He also introduced a bill to us that would allow parents of college and 'high school students to deduct from their net income the cost of tuition and fees when figuring out 'their income taxes. The next meeting will be held on October 9, at which time election of officers will be held. The temporary chairman has appointed Jerry Menzel, Paul Rassmusen, and Jim Krems on the Nomination Committee. They will make their report to the group at the next meeting. As most of you know by now, CSC has a Student Union. It is located in the basement of Delzell Hall. That's okay girls, it's open to you too. The hours this year are: Monday through Thursday 10 a.m.-2 p.m. 6 p.m.-11 p.m. Friday10 a.m.-2 p.m. 6 p.m.-12 p.m. Saturday2 p.m.-12 p.m. Sunday2 p.m.-11 p.m. This year we have a' new 27-inch TV and a Hi-Fi record player with a tremendous selection of new records. This is available to be used every night by anyone by just asking the student union worker. Games include bumper pool, bowling, shuffle alley, besides cards, cribbage, chess, and checkers. Sandwiches, candy of all varieties, pop corn, ice cream, and pop are some of the foodstuffs available. Also remember the union is available to rent any time to organizations for teas, meetings, or dances. Thought for yesterday - "When driving, every nut in the car should be tight with the exception of the one behind the wheel." Your friend, A three-toed Ugwipian Gwadeweedlewac To all college organizations: It has been brought to the attention of the Student Council that signs and posters announcing activities have not been promptly removed after the activity has taken place. This responsibility belongs to the sponsoring organization, not to the janitorial staff. We suggest that the persons making and putting up the signs be responsible for promptly removing them after the activity. Your cooperation in removing these obsolete signs would be appreciated. Thank you. Student Council Home Ec Club News The Home Economics Club opened its year with a new set of officers to guide it through the first semester. The new officers who were elected at the last 19 56-' 57 school year meeting are Mary Lauritzen, President; Elain Eis, Vice President; Beth Janke, Secretary; Marjo Mathey, Treasurer; Rochelle Handt, Historian; and Virginia Tylinski, Reporter. The first activity of the school year was a tea for the Freshmen who are entering Home Economics. The tea was held in the Home Ec. living rooms on Tuesday, Sept. 10. Mary Lauritzen and Beth Janke were in charge of the tea. Mary Lauritzen poured. The next activity was a picnic for all the Home Ec. Majors and the Freshmen entering Home Ec. The picnic was held at Bukolt Park on September 16. The officers of the club were in charge of the arrangements. Formal initiation of the Freshmen into the club will take place at the next regular monthly meeting, October 14, which will be held in the Library Theater. The Club will again sponsor a carmel-apple sale on Hobo Day and they are going to enter a float in the parade. Pictured above are Bob Mclendon, Ann Bruette, Raymond M. Rightsell, Melvin Laird and Jerry Menzel, as they met last week here at CSC. Point Loses to Quakers In Tough Battle 25-1 ~ On Friday, September 2 7, the Pointers lost a hard fought football game to Whitewater by the score of 25 to 12. The Quakers' running attack proved to be the deciding factor in the contest. The Pointers' running game never did get started, as the Whitewater Quakers held them to less than a hundred yards on the ground. The first half of the game was a nip and tuck affair with each team scoring two touchdowns. The Quakers were the first to break the ice. But the Pointers capitalized on a long pass play to tie the score at six to six. Minutes later the Pointers scored again to take a 12 to 6 lead. With thirty seconds left in the first half, the Quakers drove to another score to even the count to 12 to 12. Each team blocked one extra point attempt during the first half. In the second half the Pointers attack fizzled out and Whitewater took over for good, scoring two more touchdowns and an extra point. The Pointers played this game without the services of starting right half, Eldon Scharp, who injured his leg in the game the week before. His loss hampered the ..Pointers running attack. Jim Tremel, who suffered a leg injury that kept him out of pre-season drills, showed a good brand of football in the defensive backfield. He was often in on the tackle and was on the alert for all passes headed his way. Freshman Officers Absorbed into School On Wednesday, October 2, the voting segment of the freshman class stepped to the voting booth on the second floor and exercised their right to choose their class leaders. In some closely contested campaigns the following people recognized their names on the list of winners: David Carpenter heads the list as the presidentelect. Bob Wendt will serve the class as vice-president, the secretary is Mary Jane Martinson, and the treasurer is Charles (Chuck) Ross. The class vice-president is entitled to a seat on the student council along with their second representative, Astrid (Chris) Wekwert. At ·a recent meeting, the council discussed the untimeliness of outdated posters which have been known to cover walls days or weeks after their message is completed. The council joins forces with all organizations who hope to eradicate old commercials. All school organizations received a note asking them to remove all signs or posters whose message is obsolete. If all students join in this crusade none of us will be bothered by these weathered billboards. Speaking of posters and the student council was at its last meeting - another ruling has been made in this regard. All organizations sponsoring queen candidates are asked to hold back on their spirited advertizing campaigns until one week (that's seven days) before election. Posting signs reserving space for future advertizing is considered a part of the campaign and will not be allowed before that same one week period. The student council decided to refrain from setting a limit on the outlay for floats to be entered in the homecoming parade. The ruling in effect in the past was easily ignored and hardly enforceable. The best floats can not be limited by a monetary ceiling, only by a limited ingenuity and effort and imagination. Because no limit has been set does not mean that those who favored the limit are obliged to spend any more than usual nor does it mean that they should neglect to make an entry for the parade. Arrangements for this year's Homecoming are almost completed. Permanent and traveling trophies for winn~rs in the float competition are in order, and the freshman will take care of the fire. They will also build a queen's float. Someone may even take it upon themselves to decorate the field for the game. There is an idea on the line which we might ponder. How about a workshop that would include the officers of all the school organizations? What such a workshop might accomplish is something about which we may all wonder. FROM THE SIDEL Since baseball is still in the air it seems my duty to mention the. Braves. By the time this appears in print the World Series will be about over but at the time of the writing of this column the Braves lead by 3 games to 2. Joy seems to reign throughout Braveland but the Braves have not yet secured the coveted World Championship bunting. ETery game looms as the big game. If the Braves fail Wednesday, it will be anyone's series. We must take our hats off to the .pitching of Lew Burdette in this series, and to the hustle of Eddie Mathews. Eddie hustled out an apparently easy grounder to Jerry Coleman. Many people have been down on Eddie because of his failure to hit in the first three games, but if Eddie doesn't get another hit in the Series he's still earned that World Series check. I had a couple my first crack at weekend of se,ptem~ out with a 14-6 centage and for 16-3 for 842 son there are only for the weekend trying to live up standards, game from the list. the same lucky Weekend of Oc:tobe!i' ****** "Bucky Badger" is happy after Wisconsin's first two games. The Badgers already have scored more points than they did all last year. But leaner days are ahead for the Badgers. Next week they meet the Purdue Boilermakers. I'll pick the Badgers in this one, mainly because the Boilermakers have just finished two toug games, losing to Notre Dame 12-0 and Minnesota 21-17. The Purdue cry all through their practice sessions has been "beat Minnesota" and they were up for the Minnesota game losing only by 4 points. So its only natural to expect a let-down next week. il SIASEFI NEWS Iowa over Minnesota over IlliD.ctls Ohio State over u1uu~~,~,•., Michigan over No~rtch11rAia&ii Michigan State Cincinnati over M1~ra11ieftilt·: Pittsburgh over Army Platteville over Milwaukee LaCrosse over Eua C~ Whitewater over OsJH008l Rivers Falls over ~ Superior over Stout Pittsburgh over Army Oklahoma over Kansas Penn State over VauderliJit Princeton over Colga,te Stanford over WashinglO'Il Tennessee over Alabadl.a Yale over Cornell Navy over Georgia Stevw II] This is the 4th week of school and it seems that the SIASEFI organization is really off to a good start. A little get together was held last week at Iverson Lodge before and after the football game. Prospective pledges were interviewed during this meeting and they seem to be a pretty good bunch this year. They conducted themselves in a very orderly manner like a SIASEFI does. We know you will be proud of these men to carry on our glorious tradition. During this meeting we found out that we may have a band this year. It seems Dennis DeDeker and Rich Marko don't want to be playing alone. As DeDeker was the one-man band in the homecoming parade last year, he wants another member or two. His prayers have been answered and it seems that many of the members have musical ability, especially in precussion instruments. Mr. Marko is in charge of the musical department of the SIASEFI. If any SIASEFI can play a musical instrument, please contact Rich Marko. Homecoming was also discussed in the last meeting and we are going to enter a float in the humorous division again. For the last 3 years the SIASEFI has won first place in this division, and we are out to do it again. Plans were submitted and it promises to be a "gooder". SPORTS We forgot to mention in the last issue of the Pointer that Dennis DeDeker is also assisting Bob Bostad with the "Bomber Squad" on the football field. Mr. Bostad made a very good pick in DeDeker, who will help tremendously with his knowledge of the gridiron. The SIASEFI organization is also entering the College Bowling League this year. One team from the SIASEFI is definitely entered by the time of publication of this article. Good luck to the keglers, and we hope you have a good season. Jim Luedtke, a mainstay in the Pointer Football team line says, "to keep in good health, inhale and exhale once a day and do gymnastics." SIASEFI OF THE WEEK RICHARD MARKO For his cheering, trumpet playing, and leading the SIASEFI's in cheers at the last football game.

The Co~ sell coached gridmen have dropped all three of their conference games; this is the first time Oshkosh hu: beaten them since 1946. In the statistic column the Point• ers were way ahead in most respects except points. esc picked up 11 first down,s to Oshkosh's 8. We pick· ed up 171 yards on the ground to their 111. We had 267 yards overall to their 214, but we had 6 fumbles to their 1. Fumbles and interceptions told the story of the game. The Titans capo. italized and picked up two Pointer fumbles and intercepted two of OUI' passes while esc had no recoverecl fumbles and no intercepted passes. A great blow to the team was flte. loss of two fine backs Ron Hoenlsch and Eldon Sharp who were unable to play because of previous injuries. Fran Roman carried for 55 yards to lead the Pointers. Ron Wislinskl followed with 45 and Tony Koehn had 3 7. Herb Schotz picked up 25 yards in five carries and was a leading figure in Point's pass defense. Dennis Schmidtke, freshman from Woodruff, hit on 4 of 7 passes for 61 yards. Jack Charlesworth shared the quarterbacking duties and they mov. ed the ball well. Jim "Tank" Luedtke was the · standout on defense making 10 tackles. Cal Clausen, Dale Schallert, Phil Cole, George Roman, Owen Schwerdtfeger, Kestly and Kobishop were also Pointer standouts on de-fense.

THE POINTER Young Democrats Hold First Meeting of Year Sep~mber 9 dawned bright and four minutes of waiting for them to dear. It was the killd of a day that settle down I stood up and in tones ill&'kes you. f~el glad that you are ~lv~. •s I awoke, my summer thOught for all such lovely mornings ame lato my mind, "Let's see now. :what shall I do today?" Before I 41\llte had "today" even thought, it bit me that I wouldn't have to tax Dlf brain too long over the decision, my day was cut out for me. I ~on't know why, but the day didn't seem so bright and clear any longer, in fact it looked downright unfriendly. Hesitantly, I crawled from thE! security of my warm bed and began at once talking aloud to myself, saying that I had nothing to fear but fear itself. I should have saved my breath, for later in the day I would need that strength I had spent on words. I didn't convince myself of a thing anyhow, and my tongue seemed to be forever in the way of my words. After a hasty breakfast, during which I acquired much more i:r;tdigestion than nourishment, I stumbled back up to my room to paint on a smile to greet the eager faces who would be sizing me up in the first day's class. The clock said 7:45 and that was the time I had decided as the best to leave on the long journey to my first day as a teacher. I picked up my false courage along with my boo];!:s, and marched toward school, hoping my knees weren't knocking so hard as to be distracting. As I walked through the portals of learning, I saw the familiar faces of those veteran teachers I had met during orientation wee.k. They all had the smug look of having a situation well in hand and I wondered if my studied composure was showing. I made it through the throngs of students who crowded the halls, laughing over summer experiences and clapping old friends' backs to renew the friendships which had lapsed over the summer. I got out my key ring and very nonchalantly put it in the lock. The key went into the lock but nothing happened. I turned it, trying to be as inconspicuous as possible. It seemed like hours that I stood there, wrestling with that key. The voices in the hall seemed too dim and even though I had my back toward them I felt that every eye in the world was glaring at me. My hand perspired so heavily that holding the key was getting to be a physical challenge. Though it seemed like time eternal, it must have been only a couple of seconds because when I looked down I discovered that I had the key to my house in the lock. With relief, I pulled out the key, put the right one in and opened the door to my room. The first day I was determined to have discipline. We had a home room first, in which I met the twenty-three girls who would theoretically come to me with their problems. They were a nice group and I k"new immediately we would get along very well. After homeroom, my first hour class came in. It is a home making class of twenty-seven girls, all freshmen. I knew that if I let them, they could create problems, so I thought of a way to squelch them. After about which are not generally of my nature, I bellowed, "All right, haven't you ever heard a bell before? When that bell rings it means quiet. QUIET! So quiet I can hear you breathe." I composed myself and the questioning faces looked at me wide-eyed and fearful. As I sat down. the bell rang. We all learned something that period, probably I learned the most. The veterans of ' our system had spent the past week spinning yarns of home ec. teachers being tossed· out of the roll-out windows in our beautiful lab. The culprits, of course, were the junior and senior boys who took home economics and enjoyed frying steaks, broiling steaks, and eating steaks. All other types of lessons were frowned upon. Determined to be firrll, and having no desire to sail through a window, I scowled for twenty-five minutes during each of two classes. I had never scowled quite that long at one time before and I found it extremely difficult, but I wanted these boys to know who was boss. Actually they knew who was boss, but they were just too polite to deflate my ego. When the boys left I tried to relax the wrinkles in my brow, but they seemed frozen there and my poor head was splitting, due to the strain. Nineteen students, all who have a common cause, bel1ef in tb,e principles and policies of the Democratic Party, attended the first meeting of the CSC Young Democrats on the evening of October 2. Although Jerry Madison, state chairman and graduate of esc, was not present to start the year off, the group did get to find out a lot about how the local and state Y -Dems have worked in the past, how they are working at present, and what they hope to accomplish in the future. Several of the members of the local unit who worked hand-in-glove with the senior party this summer in the election campaign gave the group the low down on the work that was accomplished and the results of it. · Plans for the future include election of officers, preparation for the state convention to be held in Stevens Point in the spring of 1958, several joint meetings with the Young Democrat unit from Wisconsin Rapids, speeches by such notables as Phileo Nash, State Senior Democratic Chairman; Jerry Madison, State Young Democratic Club Chairman, and various members of the party in the state assembly and senate. The next meeting will be held in Room 103, on th€ evening of October 16, at 7:00 P.M. All those who are interested in the promotion of the Democratic cause are invited, asked, and urged to attend.

That was "the straw that broke But none of we stay out all night. the camel's back," but as I sat there on the cool, hard floor I wondered if tomorrow would be as interesting as today had been. Strangely enough, I found myself very, very eager for 7: 45 A.M. Tuesday to come. I had so many things to do.

S. college students can now apply for next year's Marshall Scholarship awards enabling them to study at a British University for two years. Applications must be in by October 31, 1957. The Marshall Scholarship scheme was started in 19 53 as a token of Britain's thanks for Marshall Aid. Twelve scholarships are awarded every year. Any American student of either sex, married or single, may apply, but they must be under 28 on October 1, 1958 and have graduated from an American university. Each award is worth £550 ($1,5 40) a year. Passage is paid to and from the United Kingdom. Married men get an extra allowance. Successful candidates are chosen for their character as well as scholastic attainments. Four Regional Committees - the Eastern, Southern, Middle Western and Pacific - consider the applications first and would-be winners should apply to the British ConsulGeneral in one of the following cities: Chicago (Mid-Western Region) New York (Eastern Region) New Orleans (Southern Region) San Francisco (Pacific Region) Each Regional Committee includes the Consul-General and four Americans distinguished in ed•cational or public life. It selects six names from the applications and forwards them to the British Embassy in Washington. At the Embassy the names are reexamined by a 7-member Advisory Council headed by the British Ambassador. Twelve names are selected three from each Region - and sent to the United Kingdom for review and approval by a commission of leading British educators and businessmen set up to administer the Trust. Lord Coleraine is chairman of the commission. Names of the winners are announced in Washington each April for the following October. So far 48 Americans have benefited from the scheme. All the Marshall scholars who took their final degree examinations this summer have been successful and some of them have done especially well. The Graduate Record Examinations, required of applicants for admission· to a number of graduate schools, will be administered at examination centers· throughout the country four times in the coming year, Educational Testing Service -has announced. During 1956-57 more than 12,000 students ook the GREin partial fulfillment of admission requirements of graduate schools which prescribed it. This fall candidates may take the GRE on Saturday, November 16. In 1958, the dates are January 18, April 26, a·nd July 12. ETS advises each applicant to inquire of the graduate school of his choice which of the examinations he should take and on which dates. Applicants for graduate school fellowships should ordinarily take the designated examinations in the fall administration. The GRE tests offered in these nationwide programs include a test of general scholastic ability and advance level tests of achievement in sixteen different subject matter fields. According to ETS, candidates are permitted to take the Aptitude Test and /or one of the Advanced Tests. A Bulletin of Information, (in which an application is inserted) provides details of registration and administration as well as sample questions, and may be obtained from college advisers or directly from Educational Testing Service, 20 Nassau Street, Princeton, New Jersey, or P. 0. Box 27896, Los Angeles 27, California. A completed application must reach the ETS office at least fifteen days before the date of the administration for which the candidate is applying. The Law School Admission Test required of applicants for admission to a number of leading American law schools, will be given at more than 100 centers throughout the United States on the mornings of November 9, 1957; February 15; April 19; and August 2, 1958. During 1956-57 over 12,000 applicants took this test, and their scores were sent to' over 100 law schools. A candidate must make separate application for admission to each law school of his choice and should inquire of each whether it wishes him to take tl)e Law School Admission Test and when. Since many law schools select their freshman classes in the spring preceding their entrance, candidates for admission to next year's classes are advised ordinarily to take either the November or the February test, if possible. The Law School Admission Test, prepared and administered by Educational Testing Service, features objective questions measuring verbal aptitudes and reasoning ability rather than acquired information. It cannot be "crammed" for. Sample questions and information regarding registration for and administration of the test are given in a Bulletin o·f Information. The Bulletin (in which an application for the test is inserted) should be obtained four to six weeks in advance of the desired testing date from Law School Admission Test, Educational Testing Service, 20 Nassau Street, Princeton, New Jersey. Completed applications must be rereceived at least two weeks before the desired testing date in order to allow ETS time to complete the necessary testing arrangements for each candidate. This just goes to show that someone around school has time to relaxl Wisconsin's Rural Teacher of the Year claims she should have been a gypsy because of her love of travel and the outdoors. The teacher is Mrs. Elenore Dahl, selected recently by a committee of state educational leaders for the honor. She teaches at the Cottage Grove graded school in Dane county. Her travels have taken her to every state in the union and to Canada and Mexico. She and her husband load up the station wagon with a tent, stove, and supplies and head north, south, east, or west every summer. Next year's destination: Alaska. The petite and pleasant Mrs. Dahl frankly admits her age is 50. Her hair, once blonde, has turned, she says, to "mouse-colored." She has completed most of her third year of college at Whitewater state college by attending summer sessions and extension courses. Her degree in elementary education is "about five years away," she thinks. Her classroom at Cottage Grove reflects her interest in nature. Two white rats are expecting a family soon in their cage home in one corner. There is an aquarium in another corner and a live grass snake lives in a jar on the shelf near the mounted badger and bat. "Two boys brought in the bat but is was wounded so they killed and mounted it," Mrs. Dahl explains. "The badger was killed in a fight with dog about five years ago on a nearby farm and I had it mounted." There are also snake skins, wasps' nests, butterflies, and leaves in her room. Boys in the 7th grade are free with their admiration for this teacher who isn't afraid of rats or snakes. But there is one thing the rural teacher of 19 57 can't stand. After a half century of rural living she has this to say: "I couldn't tol~rate living in a city."
