I Marine Procurement Team to Visit Campus Marine Captain Arnold. E. Bench announced this week that the Marine Corps Officer Procurement Team would visit the campus of Wisconsin State College on Thursday and Friday the 7th and 8th of November 19 57· Captain Bench stated that the Procurement Team would present two programs for college students leading to commissions as Marine Ground Officers, and two programs which offer a Marine Commission and assignment to flight training. The P,latoon leaders class and the platoon leaders class aviation are summer training programs and are now open to freshmen, sophomores, and juniors. They assure a college man that he will complete his college education prior to meeting his mllitary obligation. Participation in two six-week summer training programs without interference in academic pursuits during the school year wfll lead to a Second Lieutenant's commission upon graduation. The officer candidate course and aviation officer candidate course programs for seniors and recent graduates require ten weeks of indoctrination prior to commissioning. The officer procurement team will be located in the administration building of Wisconsin State College, Stevens Point during their stay on campus and will accept applications for any of the above mentioned programs from qualified students. Also, students are invited to discuss their military obligation under the armed forces reserve act of 19.55 with members of the procurement team without obligation. "Power of Communication" Is Subiect of Lecture Dr. Ralph G. Nichols, Chairman of the Department Rhetoric at the University of Minnesota, will present a lecture on the Power of Communication, Wednesday, November 13, 8 PM in the Library Theatre under the auspices of the College Assembly Series. From his background and training as a professor of speech, Dr. Nichols derived an intense interest in the paychology of persuasion. For several years he made a continuing study of the types of content and delivery most successful in changing the behavior of listening groups. This kind of study led naturally to deep curlousity about the kinds of mental activities listeners engage in during a speaking situation. Thus, in recent years his central interest has turned to the exact counterpart of speech the area of listening comprehension. Dr. Nichols' experimental studies and research in this field have led to training programs which have drawn the attention of industry, government, education, and military service. As evidence piles up that effective listening means both learning economy and increased industrial efficiency, his many published articles supporting these •propositions have given him a nation-wide reputation among management circles. He has participated in more than a score of management conferences, and has served in a consultant capacity for a number of business and industrial concerns. The textbook "Listening and Speaking", written in collaboration with Thomas R. Lewis, is Dr. Nichol's most recent publication. A review of the text in "College English" stated " ... The first six chapters are perhaps the most nearly complete expo_sition of the skills of listening ...... ·• His experience in the field of listening efficiency led the U. S.

This 4-H Key Award signifies outstanding contributions to 4-H work through the development of citizenship, leadership, community service, and outstanding project work. Miss Barbian was given a certificate of membership and recognition and a gold 4-H Key bracelet. Rosalyn is a member of the Crystal Lake Busy Bees 4-H Club in Dane County. She has been an active member of this club for 8 years. • In addition to the 4-H Key Award, Miss Barbian was announced the Top Junior Leader Girl in the state of Wisconsin. She has taken such responsibilities as a junior leader in her county, a junior camp counselor undertaking music leadership and organizing a camp band, recreation chairman and song leader of junior leaders council, a superintendent of the clothing department at the county fair. She was also the president of the Dane District Leaders Council. Rosalyn wishes to thank everyone who assisted her in her project work and leadership responsibilities. Pictured above is Dolores Ballweg as she accepted the 4-H Key Award recently. The award was given on a basis of citizenship, leadership, and community service. This just goes to show that the POINTER has an advisor. shown here conferring with "ye ol' editor." Congratulations, Rosalyn, on doing such an outstanding job in 4-H Club Work. Films are always shown on Thursdays and Fridays with three showings each day to give the students ample opportunity to attend. Attendance in the past has been very poor, pne of the reasons the Intermediate Series of Films has been discontinued. The cost is only 15c and your activity ticket which is very little for such an excellent program. The Series brings to Stevens Point students, a type of film · that is not readily available. Why not get in the habit of attending these, they are both entertaining and educational? Lets have every seat in the college theatre filled on November 14th and 15th and on every date one of these films is shown. Successful Theatrics On October 31 and November 1 the College Theater presented the four-act play, "Sabrina Fair", by Samuel Taylor. The director was Miss Mary Eliz· abeth Thomson; student director, John Lueck; and assistant student directors were Pat Pronz and Rod Justesen. The cast was made up of Mary Ann Camber, Mary Nixon, Tom Gruman, Jim Haugsby, Addie Lee Gault, Erv Jankowski, Kathy Adams, Dorothy Cuff, Derl Howe, Pat Pronz, Bud Jackson, Judy Ungrodt, Tom Zenz, and Bill Clark. The play was a success as evidenced by the crowd that attended. It was enjoyed by everyone. No.4 Omega Mu Chi Fall Pledging Underway. Omega Mu Chi sorority held their fall pleding party Sunday ev-ening, November 3, at the home of Mrs. Frank Crow in Park Ridge. Following the entertainment and refreshments the five prospective members took thei-r sorority oath. Those girls who have begun their six-week-period of pledging are: Marney Lou Bierman, Diane Darling, Julie Niemann, Marjorie Maahs, and Monica Wodlarski. The girls were then presented their pledge pins and ribbons, a yellow carnation corsage, and a symbolic sorority doll. The active members and their guests, Miss Bertha Glennon, Mrs. Erwin Clayton, Mrs. Duane Counsel!, Mrs. Raymond Gotham, Mrs. Albert Harris·, Miss Ethel Hill and Mrs. Marlin Ravey, brought the party to a close with the singing of the Omeg songs and by sincerely welcoming the pledges. The Beginning: Six Girls Pledge Alpha Sigma Alpha Six upper classmen saw their dreams become reality on Sunday, November 3, as they took their first step toward sisterhood in Alpha Sigma Alpha. It was at this time that President Allene Grimm, assisted by Miss Vivian Kellogg, one of the advisors, conducted the impressive white dress ceremony in which these girls became pledges. Following the ceremony, everyone displayed her artistic ability as she created a very original newspaper hat. The remainder of the evening was spent with other interesting activities. Lunch consisted of cupcakes, mints, and punch. The committees for the party were: entertainment, Gloria Richard and Barbara Jenkins; food, Rosemary Opichka and Elaine Eis; centerpiece and table, Evelyn Polhamus, Valarie Hermann, and Lois Merkatoris; favors, Helen Nowicki, Marge Loftis, and Diane Mauel; and place, Nan,cy Coon . The special guests at the party were the advisors, Miss Vivian Kellogg and Mrs. Henry Runke, and patronesses, Mrs. Nels Reppen and Mrs. Raymond E. Specht. The first semester pledges of Alpha Sigma Alpha are: Janet Duranceau Stevens Point; Mary Jane Kleist, Portage; Betty Marvin, Brooks; Patricia Roche, Baraboo; Evelyn Smyth, Stevens Point; and June Zielinski, Stratford. Ballet to be Given The Ballet Russe Quartet will present excerpts from Swan Lake, Coppelia, Nutcracker Suite, and Sleeping Beauty Thursday evening, November 7, at 8:00 P.M. in the college auditorium. I THE POINTER. Ftired Fine • • • We feel the members of the College Theater, the "Sabrina Fair" play cut aDd crewa, and Mlaa Mary Elizabeth Thompson should be commended for their fine work In advertising and producing the play. A great amount of work must have gone into the making of posters alone. Bealdea the posters, College Theater, with the help of Mr. Raymond •· Specht, made the attractive picture display seen near the auditorium lut week. Members of College Theater also telephoned every college stud4nt, reminding him to attend the play. The play itself was, In our opinion, extremely entertaining. The memberl of the cast and Miss Thompson have every right to be proud of the reaults of their hard work. A word of praise must also go to the behind-the-scenes workers. Sets, propa and costumaa all added to the success of the play as a whole. MJB LmERS TO THE EDITOR Once a week, there is a day called Friday, when our school cafeteria? ? ? puts forth three (3) meatless meals. The exact reason for this misservJce, I don't know, and I have no particular reason for trying to fiD:d out, because it is my belief that if the proper job was being done, the question would never arise in the first place. I suppose that the main reason given is "for religious reasons." This might be just fine and dandy, but not all people belong to a faith that requires abstenance from meat on certain da)'S. Therefore, I contend that in order for the school to do its job, and do It properly, they should provide an alternate meal (s), with meat as the • main portion, on Fridays for those of us who do not have to, or do not desire to be burdened with the task of eating fish, or a meatless substitute. Although the school managed to run $16,000.000 in the hole on their meals last year, they did provide something for the meat eaters on Friday, and It wasn't fish. The only difference between this year and last year is the date on the calendar. Jim Miller P.S. This is not an attack on any person's religious beliefs or faith, and I sincerely hope it will not be taken as such. I haven't been . in a line of {)Ver 10 people yet ...... but my day may come. Roughly, there are 7000 students, of which 200 are foreign and the latter come in every imaginable variety. I've met a couple Americans and heard of several more- even a few from Wisconsin. But one of the little men in the Foreign Student Office here was very emphatic in saying, "you mustn't be with a group of Americans --'- you must talk German!" So I'm haunted by the thought of sticking to the Deutsch tongue - but a few lapses Into English are joyous occasions. Communication isn't too hard; people are ready to forgive you for anything you do to their language once they know you're an "Amerikanischere Studentin." Conversation and reading aren't bad, but writing anything is well nigh impossible and buying tickets or talking /with officials of any sort twists me into more knots than a pretzel. Freiburg itself is an ideal location - lovely mountains all around, old historical buildings, good stores, and lots of access to France and Switzerland. I heard they have a two month between-semester vacation here (something esc might adopt) - if so, I'll try to do all the journeying I can. Guess that's about it for now. But, as a testimonial from my American heart: "I'd WAIT A MONTH (AND DO HERE) FOR A POINTER." Keep right on with them.

Clark County will certainly back a fighting, liberal Democrat pledged to back the progressive policies of our next governor, Gaylord Nelson. The man from Thorp may give you a hard time in the campaign. I want to remind you that the Lumber Barons of Wisconsin gave Bob La Follette a tough battle during the days when he was battling to make Wis~ consin a Model Commonwealth. Your head may be bloody when the campaign is over but it shall be unbowed, (to borrow a bit from one of the poets). Christ drove the moneychangers from the temples.

If you represent Clark County in the 1958 session of the legislature, I am confident that your vote will not be influenced by the booze steaks supplied so generously to the members of the legislature by people who do not have the public interest at heart. You will represent the peopie of Clark 'County. You' will not vote to double your salary. Well Gil, I'll . have to bring this letter to ·a close now.

A set of questions was drawn up to find out how much, if ever, interviewees smoked, graded on a tenpoint scale as to amount of smoking. Some of the questions asked w.ere: How much do you spend weekly on smoking? How many cigarettes do you smoke daily? How long have you been smoking? Thep a ra?"dom sample of the student populatiOn was selected by assigning a number to each member of each class, the numerical order following the order of the alphabet in each class for convenience. A proportion of each class based on its ratio to the whole population was further selected. The class then conta<;ted each of the selected students, usually by personal-direct or telephone-interview, coding each questionaire according to sex, class, and class number. A total of 139 men and 87 women were interviewed. The grade point average of these students was obtained from the Registrar's office and tabulated, with their smoking score, The correlation between grade point and smoking score was computed separately for men and women by classes, and then ovm:all for total men and total women. Correlation for all men was practically zero because of positive correlation in the Freshman and Sophmore classes. In all other cases, correlation was found to be negative that is, the more they smoke, the lower their grade point average was. On the basis of this information, the class came to the conclusion that there is a negative correlation between student's smoking habits and their grade point averages. However, further study is necessary to determine whether this is a valid correlation or whether both of these factors are related to some other cause. Because of lack of time, no comparisons were made between the various scores of the men and those of the women, or between classes. Autumn Senior Day The students from various high schools in the state were welcomed on the Central State College campus on October 30, 1957, by the faculty and students. The cities represented by the 180 present were Birnamwood, Elcho, Glidden, Green Bay East and West, lola, :{..akeland, Marathon, Neenah, Necedah, New London, Port Edwards, Ripon, Maria in Stevens Point, Wausau Senior High, Westboro, White Lake and Wisconsin Dells. Items on the program for the visitors: registration, coffee hour, music by the CSC Band, tour of the campus, lunch at Nelson Hall, and various interest groups. == FAMILIAR Introducing (although he probably needs no introduction), ·Mr. Eugene Glover! The stage is set in Beloit (in case you are not in the know, Beloit is a thriving metropolis of which Madison is a small suburb). Everything is ready, I hope, for Eugene is making his arrival on July 24, 1937. Although hi~ folks planned on a large family, he ended their aspirations since he is the last, but by no means the least, of the seven children in the Glov-er household, five of which still sv.rvive three sisters, one brother, and Gene. Gene Glover As time 'Passed, Gene's mother decided that she could not keep him home forever. Therefore, he entered the .first grade ln a country school when he was five years old. It took him ·e ight years to complete the eight grades, and then he advanced to Lincoln Junior High School. He remembers that first day 1n Junior High well - it seems he had a little difficulty reading his schedule. In fact, he attended the same class twice in succession. Although the second period was tlie correct period, he shed tears almost the entire hour. However·, indomitable Gene managed to conqu1er all the trials and tribulations of Junior High in one year and then he advanced to Beloit Senior High School from which he graduated in 1954 at the age of sixteen. Of his high school career, he said, "My high school career was not illustrious. I was just an ordinary, run-of-the-mill student; however, I did receive a freshman scholarship to CSC." Are you certain your high school career was that ordinary, Gene? When Gene arrived at esc, he still hadn't learned to read schedules. It seems the first week he was here he went to the wrong history class on the wrong day, but he did have the correct time. Nevertheless, in spite of all the ·o bstacles, Gene did a fine piece of work during his first three years at CSC. He is now a senior in the Secondary Division with an English Major and history (even if he couldn't find the right class) and French minors. Mr. Glover is now practice teaching eighth-grade history (I hope he doesn't miss those classes) at the Campus School. In his spare time at college, Gene became a charter member of Alpha Beta Rho. Another organization which he chose to share his talents with is Alpha Phi Omega, the service fraternity. We found that government was not beyond the range of his abilities either. As a freshman he served on the Student Council, and at lthe present time, he is a member of the Inter-Fraternity Council. As for college, "College Ah, yes!! ! It's the greatest invention outside of women. It giv;es one a chance to get away from home, be independent, and do almost as one wishes." Outside of his general Interests, Gene loves sports and poetry. The sports which he enjoys most are: football, basketball, boxing, baseball, and softball. Winter sports and swimming have not claimed Gene's interest as yet because he is particularly non-efficient in them. His ambition is to some day become a sportscaster, disc jockey, or comedian. Although it is of a quite ·different nature, poetry is just as strong an interest of Gene's. He listed his favorite poem as "The Man With the Hoe" by Edwin Markham, although he reads many and varied poems and authors. He has even gone so far as to contribute several selections FACES to WORDSWORTH, although r~~iC:.-.J(i poetry is by far the rest. At this time, Gene, we would like to congradulate you on the trelbendous job which you have done titus far and also wish you the best of everything in the future! This week's "Familiar Face", XS.. Sandra Bloom, better known as ~­ dy, hails from Eagle River. She "'h~ quite a high school life; in fact, she made high school her life. AmonJ her many and varied activities w•re the music organizations. She sang in the mixed chorus and played clarinet in the band and if you think that this is a lot of talent, just co on and read what else this fair-haired lass did! She's an actress at heart--.. the junior and senior claa. plap proved this. Her journalistic abll1t7 also showed itself when she was editor of the school yearbook. She had an inkling for citizenship and polltlca for she received the DAR Good Citizenship A ward and served on the student Council. She stated that she couldn't remember any of the offiee1'81 which she held or anything along that line because that was so long ago. However, she seemed to recall being secretary of the Girls' Bowllil.g League and stated, "That was a lot of fun!" Maybe this situation calls for an investigation! Like a great number of the :fre8h· man girls, Sandy lived at Nelson Hall when she came down to CSC. However, for the last three years she has lived in a home with light-housekeeping privileges hearty appetite maybe? She seems to be very much afraid that she is going to mist two of her roommates next year since she has lived with them tor four years - maybe they have hearty aPpetites too. Sandra Bloom It didn't take too long before Sandy let her presence be known on campus (practically everyone knew of her sister, Diana's presence as she was Sandy's predecessor by two years). Sandy began attending· the Wesley meetings, singing in the choir, and this year is editor of the Wesley newspaper. She also pledged the Tau Gamma Beta Sorority; in fact, she received the Jan Mailer Scholarship Award at this time. Soon she was elected corresponding secretary of the Tau Gams. At the present time she is the Tau Gamma Beta President and serves on the InterSorority Council. Being a Biology and Chemistry Major (not in education she's interested in research), she soon received a bid from Sigma Zeta, the honorary science fraternity on campus. Through this organization, she received the CulverRogers Science Award. This award is presented to the outstanding junior in science every spring at the Awards' Day Assembly. Speaking of ·awards, (f Sandy received the Association of Wisconsin State College Faculty (AWSCF) Scholarship last year although she doesn't know why she re- .::; ceived it - I can't imagine, can you? In her spare time, Sandy is employed by Mr. Schmeekle of the Conservation Department. As far as school is concerned, Sandy expressed this opinion, "There's more to school than studying, and you miss an awfully lot by not participating in the extra-curricular activities!" She even went so far as to set quite a pace for others to follow- I don't know if we can keep up, but keep up your good work, Sandy! I THE POINTER November 7, 1957 Round and About CSC By Ranty With Sputniks, Proxmire victories, and the fall of Hudson and Nash. something new has to be also addeil to CSC. So with the spirit that put Paul Revere on sauce pans and put tranquilizers in nursery rhymes, I hereby come forth from the night (technical term for a student's condition - in the dark) riding my hypodermic-filled ballpoint and bulleting on my Columbus (discoverer and land) machine saying in a LOUD VOICE, "Hello." Truly, the ride I shall take you on around esc should be a riot - but don't panic. This column will without any shadow of a doubt, with great perception and unflinching valor, stand up and tell you absolutely nothing you don't already know. Let us hope we haven't let ourselves wide open. , This is my first experience at CSC and until I get better acquainted, I will be somewhat handicapped. However, I shall try to observe a few things. Football has held the attention of students for some time. Be patient, friends, Rome wasn't built in a day. Homecoming brought more interest, and for a while I wondered what all this publicity was, for as we all know, women, on the average, outnumber men; but rioting for the Queen was the reason. A great time was had by all, they tell me, but my dog Herman cried all night because he wasn't invited- the sheer humiliation. I think Herman will develop a complex. Girls, if you are interested, just drop a note off to Herman in care of the Pointer. (P.S. Mr. Dixon My dog is just as smart as your dog or I know someone who will be repeating a Sociology course.) "Fight Furiously, Fellows, Fight" will not echo in our ivied walls of teacher education for a while, as we know the English language is very descriptive and explanatpry - nevertheless gang, tough luck. Lubricating Luebstorf indicates the wheels on the hardcourt are turning and he wouldn't mind a trip to Kansas City again. Good luck, Lube! Running around campus some intersting things have come to my attention ...... I guess long-awaited mailboxes have come, but have you noticed that one of the biggest men in school (this can't be refuted anyway), Jerry Menzel, has a box so low that he looks like a squashed kangaroo talking to a mouse - a small mouse. (They'll do it every time.) The Home Ec. group had a carmel apple sale recently, but did you notice how many of the members of the said club were eating their wares - interesting. Speaking of sales, there was a big drive on the part of certain individuals to sell Homecoming buttons. If some fraternity could capitalize, half of our co-ed population would be out of circulation.

The first week, freshman week, is when you discover some interesting bits of information, such as: when the local radio station goes off the air; where the two most popular social sports are; and that they really aren't joking when they say you have to be in by 11:00 or else. The first day of classes is like a trip through the jungle. Suppose you are looking for room 2 56. You · locate 253 and next you see 255. "Well," you say to you\rself, "256 must be right around the corner." Surprise! Room 2 56 is down the hall in the opposite direction! Who built this place, anyway? Life in the dorm is just one of those things you have to contend with. Finding room for three girls and all their accumulated equipment in one room that already has three beds and desks in it is the major problem. There are always a few minor problems to be solved too. Amon·g these are questions like: how did one of your roommates go about knocking a screen out of your third floor window, or, where did the other one lose half of a pair of shoes? With all . the popcorn parties and gabfests, a girls' dormitory is not exactly the ideal spot for studying. It naturally follows that of course you · are going to flunk five of ten tests you take. Then there are the college men! The already bewildered freshman girl has quite a problem there. A goodlooking specimen is located and then stab! He's wearing a wedding ring! So, on to the 1,1ext one! This is the variety that does not wear a class ring. You wonder: does another girl have it? did he lose it? did his knuckles enlarge so that it doesn't fit? This ringless Joe College takes you out once or twice - three times at the most - and then refuses to recognize you. He won't even. nod in your direction! There is another type of boy on the loose that expects to be kissed goodnight just because he walks you horne from the Union. What would he expect if he took you there to begin with? Your first football date with an upperclassman is really an experience. You figure out what color uniforms your team is wearing by waiting for the first touchdown to see which crowd cheers. You are just going along good when it's time to sing the school song. "Omigosh, I don't know it!" you think. Then comes the silent sigh of relief when he doesn't know it either. It's fun, isn't it?

Burdette w: Eagon is s,hown at his desk "tackling" one of the many meets as Dean of Men. ' Dr. Burdette Eagon, Our Genial Dean of Men, Really Likes People "Don't blow your top. Let Pop do it." The plastic figure which came attached to this tag stands on the desk of Dr. Burdette Eagon, CSC's Dean of Men. Its therapeutic Dr. Eagon, who claims to have no pet peeves and to not be particularly annoyed by anything about campus, is rarely seen frowning. Born near Winneconne, Wisconsin, he attended a rural school in that area for eight years. ·At this time he was an active 4-H Club member - raising, among other things, popcorn and turkeys. While at Oshkosh high school for the next four years, he studied electrical work as part of his curriculum for three years, and took a correspondence course in radio and television. He received a B. S. degree in elementary education from Oshkosh State College, with practically a major in geography- 30 hours to be exact. His school assignments include teaching a techniques course, advising the Inter-Fraternity Council and college trailer- court, and serving as a member of the bus committee, calendar committee, foreign students committee, and the director of student housing. ·What does he like best abouf; being Dean of Men? "I enjoy meeting and working with the students. I like people." As far as hobbies or pastimes go, Dr. Eagon has six children: Brian, age 7; John, 5 ; Sally, 3; Tommy and Jimmy, 1%; and Mary Ann, 6 weeks, which leaves him very little time for "spare time occupations." When he did have time, he much enjoyed sports. He played football, baseball, and boxed while in high school and college, as well as ice skating, fishing (fly fishing for black bass) and hunting (mostly for pheasant and deer). Of necessity he has become a "do it yourself-er" who is at present remodeling his 29 x 26' attic into a bedroom for his boys - his winter project. To be so cheerful with so much to do, he must certainly make much use of "Pop, the top blower." The Air Force called about this time for anyone with radio background. Dr. Eagon, as a member of the technical training command at Truax Field, taught courses in radio and radar. He received additional training for this at St. Louis University. Next on the Eagon agenda was the U. S. Navy. In this service branch, he worked with synthetic devices ranging froni gunnery to airplanes at Alameda Naval Air Station. After his hitch in the Navy, CSC's future Dean of Men taught the theory aspect of television in the training, Devotions opened the Gamma Deloperational, and maintenance fields ta meeting on Thursday night, Ocat the American Television Labora- tober 24th.

National Teacher Exams Slated for February 15 The National Teacher Examinations, prepared and administered annually by Education Testing Service, will be given at 250 testing centers throughout the United Stats on Saturday, February 15, 1958. At the one-day testing, session a candidate may take the Common Examinations, which include tests in Professional Information, General Culture, English Expression, and Non-verbal Reasoning; and one or two of eleven Optional Examinations designed to demonstrate mastery of subject matter to be taught. The college which a candidate is attending, or the school system in which he is seeking employment, will advise him whether he should take the National Teacher Examinations and which of the Optional Examinations to select. A Bulletin of Information {in which an application is inserted) describing registration procedure and containing sample test questions may be obtained from college ·officials, school superintendents, or directly from the National Teacher Examinations, Educational Testing Service, 20 Nassau Street, Princeton, New Jersey. Completed applications, accompanied by proper examination fees, will be accepted by the ETS office during November and December, and in January so long as they are received before January 17, 1958. The Roman brothers, Dave, George, and Fran, are shown here prepared to give their all for "dear old CSC." Top Dane County 4-H Pow-wow Held at Members Attend CSC Tau Gam Tea-Pee Two of the top Dane County 4-H club members are attending esc this semester. Dolores Ballweg and Rosalyn Barbian received the Wisconsin 4-H Key Club awards recently. About 200 key awards were presented to worthy 4-H club members in Wisconsin this past year, 'o f which seven were awarded to Dane county members. These seven represent the "cream of the crop" of some 1,800 4-H club members of that county. The key award is presented to 4-H club members for having developed special citizenship, leadershii) and community service during their years of 4-I;i club work. Dolores just completed her tenth year of club work of which four years were in the junior leadership project. A year ago this past summer, she attended State 4-H Club week at the University of Wisconsin. Dolores is a member of the Roxbury Boosters 4-H club and attended Sauk City High school. She is a sophomore here at esc and is in the two-year rural division. In commenting on 4-H club work she said, "I am very thankful for having the opportunity to belong to a great characterbuilding, citizenship-training organization such as the 4-H club." Tau Gamma Beta Tea-Pee was the theme for the sorority's anual fall tea honoring the new women students on campus. Receiving the guests were sorority president, Sandra Bloom; vice president, Joyce Schlottman; and advisors, Mrs. Robert Lewis, and Mrs. Elmer Kerst. Coffee and tea were served from th~ tea table centered with a harvest arrangement. Pouring were Miss Mildred Davis, Mrs. David Varney, Mrs. Fredrick Kremple, and Mrs. Henry Welch.

November' 7, Hard Fighting Brothers Strengthen CSC TeamBy Emmy Runge Three combinations of fightin', scrappin' brothers helped put steel into the backbone of Central State's football team. These brothers are George, Fran, and Dave Roman; Norm and Gary Dorn; and the Yetters, Jerry and Hank. Although CSC didn't have a really su.ccessful year as measured by wins and losses, these brothers put up some real scraps that gave all of our opponents some rugged competition. One of the football combos is the Dorn Brothers, ·hailing from a farm near Antigo, Wisconsin. Norm, a sophomore, is 5'8", weighing 175 pounds and played guard in the current season. As a freshman he started as fullback and switched to guard near the end of the · season. Norm sings in the glee club and also wrestles, which is his favorite sport. As a matter of fact, he holds the State Title in intercollegiate wrestling. In high school Norm lettered in football, wrestling, and cheerleading. Another interesting hobby of Norm's is "picking potatoes" which accounts for his football condition. That, and his favorite saying, "No thanks, I don't smoke." Gary, age eighteen, 5'10", and weighing 16 5 is a freshman halfback. He lettered two years in high school, both in wrestling and football, and two years in track. Gary sings in the Glee Club and is a math. major. Football is his favorite sport. The Yetters, Jerry and Hallk, are Stevens Point boys, both Marine Corps vets. Hank, a second semester sophomore and twenty-four is 5'6" tall, weighs 17 2 pounds and plays right half. He is in track {crosscountry) and wrestling. Last year he had a 1 and 15 win record in wrestling, and in high school, he held the State High School Wrestling Title for two consecutive years. In addition, Hank belongs to S Club, is treasurer ,of the Newman Club, and likes to hunt. He is majoring in Biology and plans to be an anesthetist. Jerry, also majoring in Biology, has phy. ed. and math. as minors. His future plans include a teaching and coaching position. Jerry is a freshman, 21 years old, 5'8", 170 pounds, and plays left half. In addition to football, which is' number one for him, he plays baseball, likes to hunt, fish, dance - "well, just about anything". In high school, Gary lettered in football, baseball, basketball, and swimming. tie At 5'10 ¥.!", weighing 205 poundt, he plays guard, is a catcher on the Pointer baseball team, and likes basketball. His football training begins with a part-time job at Vetters LUmber and Supply, and holding his ow~ against two brothers.

Pointers Victorious in Season'.s Final Game, 7-6 The CSC Pointers closed out their 19 57 season at Eau Claire last Saturday with a stirring 7 to 6 victory. 'The Pointers scored their touchdown the first tinie they had the ball. After that they proceeded to protect their lead for the rest of the game. The Pointers completed only one out of three passes but gained well on the ground where they were led by Fran Roman who gained 45 yard!! on thirteen carries. Eldon Scharp chipped in another 44 yards on seven carries while Ron "Jet" Hoenisch bulled his way for an additional 21 yards. After the Blugold's were held without a first down following the opening kickoff they punted to the Pointer's 37 yard line. Roman, Scharp, and Hoenisch carried the ball for four first downs to the Eau Claire one yard marker. From this position Jack Charlesworth carried the pigskin across the goal line for the touchdown. Don Ryskoski added the all important extra point and the score was 7 to 0. Scharp picked up a key first down in the drive when he drove five yards to the Blugold's ten on a quick opener. The game soon took on a defensive nature as Stevens Point clung to their lead and Eau Claire made sure it didn't grow larger. Few first downs were chalked up as the defenses dug in. Punts were exchanged for the rest of the first half and most of the second half. After Ryskoski's 37 yard field goal attempt fell short in the third quarter, the Blugolds were on their way. Eau Claire chalked up six first downs' as they moved 8 3 yards to the score. Bob Hessler carried the ball the final two yards. On the run for the extra point Hessler fell short of the goal as a host of Pointer tacklers refused to m.o ve.

Many Pointer fans may remember the game at Eau Claire two years ago, which this game was reminiscent of. In 1955 Eau Claire was the team the Pointers had to beat to win the championship. In the rain and mud, the Pointers emerged victorious by a 13-0 count, holding the Blugolds without a first down. Our hats are off to the Pointers for the whole season. Although the season wasn't too 'succeBBful victory~ wise, the boys played good football and were in there trying all the time. A few breaks and a few more points in any game could have turned the Pointers' record around. Things will look up next year, as the Pointer squad will not be too bad off because of graduation and Coach Counsell will have had a year to establish himself. I want to say "Good Luck" to our graduating seniors; George Roman, Jack Charlesworth, Ron Wislinsky, and Al Shuda. We'll miss you all. George has played on Pointer teams, good and bad, the last four years, and could always be counted on to play a topnotch game. Big AI Shuda was another of the rough, tough line typical of the ·Pointer teams the . last few years. Al was always in there when needed. Jack, since he started school, was hard to move out of the quarterback spot. Ron Wisllnsky was always plugging at fullback. Although Ron didn't have too many playing minutes, he was always there, willing and ready. I hope I didn't forget anybody and I'm sorry if I did, but these are the only men listed a!J seniors on the (program. "Counsell Crew" should have a good nucleus of .returning veterans next year, led by Hoenisch, Scharp, Koehn, Schoetz, Fran Roman, and Tremel in the backfield and Schallert, Luedtke, Clausen, K o b i s h o P , Schweidtfeger, Michalik, and Cole in the line. • • * • • * • • This has been quite a year of np• sets in the State College Conference. At any time any team could beat any other. This has also been a year of upsets or near upsets nationally. Navy was upset by North Carolina, Notre Dame upset Army, Illinois upset Minnesota, and the big surprise was Purdue over Michigan State. The biggest- near upset was the Colorado-Oklahoma game. The Sooners squeezed, by on a 14-13 count. Dallas Ward, Colorado coach, claimed it was unsportsmanlike conduct by the Oklahoma fans. Ward claimed that when the Colorado quarterback called for quiet so the team eould hear the signals, the Oklahoma fans yelled all the louder. He said it was these actions which caused Colorado to commit costly penalties and cost them one, maybe two touchdowns. The most costly penalty was one for illegal procedure when Colorado . had the ball on the Sooner seven yard line. It was reported that many former Oklahoma players came into the Colorado dressing room after the game and apologized for the conduct of the fans. Whether these charges are true or false I don't know, but I want to disagree at this time with many people who claim that Oklahoma would continue to roll along, winning championship after championship, if they played in the Big Ten. I admit that the Sponers would win their share of championships but not more so than Michigan State would, and their undefeated record wouldn't continue as long. I want to cite the type of weak teams Oklahoma has been playing. Their schedule this . year runs this way: Pittsburgh, Iowa State, Texas, Kansas, Colorado, Kansas State, Missouri, Notre Dame, Nebraska, and Oklahoma State. A schedule like this provides only two or three tough games and any coach will tell you it's easier to "get a team up" for two or three games a season than for four or five. In the Big Ten the teams play a better balanced schedule and have to "be up" every game. You can see by the upsets in the Big Ten this year what happens to a team if they look ahead and point for other games. I would like to see Oklahoma play a schedule in the Big Ten such as Minnesota is playing this year (Wash- ington, Purdue, Northwestern, Illinois, Michigan, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan State, and Wisconsin) .or the schedule Notre Dame is playing (Purdue, Indiana, Army, Pittsburgh, Navy, Michigan State, Oklahoma, Iowa, USC, and SMU.) Sure, there are breathers on these schedules but not aS' many or as weak. I don't see how a-team can be ranked number one in the nation when they can beat a team like Kansas State by only 13-0. • • * • • • • • My predicting record slipped over the last two weeks. For the games of October 26 I had my worst week, picking only 12 and missing on 7 and for the week on November 2, I picked only one more right for a 1·3-7 record to 8 4-3 3 for a . 717 percentage.

It's been said that the atomic submarine "Nautilus" stays submerged so long that it only surfaces to let the crew re-enlist. Perhaps for this reason, the Navy hBB taken valuable space aboard the "Nautilus" for the only soft-drink vending machine in the entire submarine fleet.

Along The River Nile From The Regents - Humor College humor sometimes overflows the campus and the Regents office and brings a chuckle to everyone. These two stories came from the Wisconsin state colleges this fall. The Regents office asked the 12,000 students at the 1,0 colleges to fill out a questionnaire in September. "Check carefully," admonished the first instruction on the questionnaire - "single male - married male single female - married female." Back came one of the 12,000 forms with this pencilled note on the margin: "I have checked as carefully as I can, surrounded as I am by 50 classmates in broad daylight." And he checked "single male." The pre-season football dopester of the State College Conference picked· Eau Claire and La Crosse as favorites. These were "the teams to beat," said the conference dope sheet from the Regents' office. In this month's newsletter the Regents' office admits that the colleges follow directions too carefully. The two "teams to beat" were trounced a total of five times in 10 games, as directed. Alpha Sigma Alpha began their fall rushing with their party held Saturday, October 26, from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. in the Nelson Hall recreation room. The theme for the party was "Night on the Nile.'' The actives wore sheets which were artfully draped in Egyptian style and had gold cobra headbands to complete their "Egyptian look." The rushees received as favors red ribbon headbands which were inscribed with Egyptian symbolism. White floor mats furnished seating for both the hostesses and guests, and low tables with bowls of fruit provided constant nourishment for all. Decorations consisted of pillars adorned with messages in symbolism and a wall mural of pyramids. Queen Hatshep§ut (Lois Merkatoris) led the group in entertainment which was thoroughly enjoyed by all. Following this, coffee, date rolls, nuts, and mints were served. The centerpiece was .an arrangement of yellow baby mums flowing from a wicker horn-of-plenty. As a remembrance of their visit on the Nile, the rushees were given miniature china animals tied with a red ribbon on which ASA was inscribed.
