Criticism from the Librarian's Desk As announced, Cry the Beloved will ask a door admission of fifteen cents per student includIng members of the faculty and their immediate families. But because of criticism (backdoor) of the library for making this charge on an Activities Fund supported (even though partial support) program, students hereafter will not be charged for these motion pictures. Instead (as was tried for the summer series) a box will be at the door asking for contributions - one kopeck to fifty cents - expressing the degree of pleasure a particular picture offers. Meanwhile the library is taking steps to regain the small corps of students, faculty and townspeople who took special interest in supportIng the series in the past year, perhaps by reviving the patron's season ticket. The film series will continue the general guide of securing pictures of international flavor and reputation, for the most part those that have not or are not likely to be shown at the Fox or Lyric. The series for the remainder of the year is to be fully announced soon. It will include excellent fare such as: Little Fugitive, Phantom Horse, Miraele in Milan, Lyslstrata, CBl'IDen, Gillbert and Sui· Hvan; Citizen Kane, Scotch on the Rocks, Umberto-D, Sadko, The Stone Flower, Day of WratJt, and Death of a Salesman. · If you enjoy motion pictures of excellence, support the series. These are not box office in the Hollywood tradition. Small colleges over the country are having to support these films on their own to have them at all. Why not Stevens Point? American Home Ec. Ass'n. Nominates Miss Baehler Miss Diane Baehler was nominated for the office of president of Province Seven of the College Clubs Section of the American Home Economics Association. She is a junior, majoring in home economics, from Seymour, Wisconsin. The United States is divided into provinces and Wisconsin is the seventh province along with Illinois, Michigan, and Iowa. Each year the offices of the province rotate from one state to the other. Each club in the state nominates a girl from its club, and her qualifications are sent to each of the other clubs in the province who vote for the candidate of their choice. Wisconsin has five colleges that belong to the province: Mount Mary, Milwaukee Downer, Stout, the University of Wisconsin, and Stevens Point. This year it is Wisconsin's turn to nominate the president for Province Seven. The president elected from Wisconsin with the other three girls elected from Illinois, Michigan, and Iowa will serve as officers of Province Seven for the coming year. The nominees must be active in the college clubs, and they must show leadership qualities. Diane was a homecoming queen candidate this year. She is president of CWA, an inter-sorority representative, • and a junior counsellor at Nelson Hall. She also belongs to LSA. In high school Diane was active in FHA. She served as parliamentarian and president of her club and she attended the state FHA meet· ing at Green Lake.

The following students and groups now have mailboxes : Donald Jandt and Frank Mathews. These two may be found after the last name in the "Z" section. The CSC Ski Club and College Counter are found after Y-Democrats. AI vi n E. O'Konski To Speak For Y-GOP The YGOP-CSC Club held its last meeting on Nov. 13, 1957, at 7:30 P.M. Assemblyman Robert G. Marotz, speaker, of the Wisconsin Assembly, was scheduled to s.p eak. However, due to bad weather conditions between here and Shawano, he was unable to make it. He will speak at a later date. The group then Alvin E. he 1 d a general O'Konski meeting. It was decided that the club will collect from its members 25-cent dues which will cover the school year. The ChristVJ,as party was another topic. It was decided to have a dinner at the Silver Coach on December 11, 1957. All members are invited to attend. The treasury will finance part of this party. Jerry Menzel, the college director for the Wisconsin Federation of Young Republicans, read several interesting articles from the Chairman's Memo Sheet which is sent to him weekly from Washington D. C. · Congressman Alvin E. O'Konski will be guest speaker at the December 4 meeting. All young Republicans and independents a-re welcome to attend this meeting. It will be at 7:30 P.M. in room 107 of the main building. Representative O'Konski is the lOth District Congressman. He graduated from State Teachers College at Oshkosh in 19 2 7 and went on to graduate work at Iowa University and University of Wisconsin towards Master of Philosophy degree with Speech and Political Science majors. Mr. O'Konski is a member of the important House Armed Services Committee of the U. S. Congress. He should have some interesting remarks a,bout our defense problems. He is now serving his 8th term as Congressman. NOTICE TO STUDENTS: The Administration ·committee of the College on November 12 adopted a modification in the probation regulations of the school. These regulations are as previously published except for the following changes: · 1. A student will be placed on probation if his semester grade point average is less than 2.00 and his over-all grade point average is less than 2.00. 2. A student will be dismissed from college for low scholarship if his semester grade point average is less than 1. 5 and his over-all grade point average is less than 2.00. The effect of this change is to prevent students from being put on probation or from being dropped from the college because of one or two low semester averages if the student has a satisfactory over-all grade point average. In the past the Administration Committee has frequently allowed such students immediate readmission if they appealed the drop action. The complete r evised r egulation is as stated below. PROBATION: DISMISSAL A student who has a grade point average of less than 2.00 , but at least 1.50, for any semester shall be placed on academic probation for the next semester, provided his over all grade-point average is less than 2.00 . (Specific terms of this probation may be set by the student's dean or director. ) Each succeeding semester, the student must make a grade point average of at least 2.00, or he will be dismissed from college. A student shall be dismissed from the college for low scholarship at the end of any sem ester if h e has a grade point average of less than 1.50 for the semester and an over-all grade point average less than 2.00, except that a freshman may not be dismissed, ordinarily, until h e h as attended two semester s. (A freshman who h as been admitted on probation may be dropped if h e earns less tha n 2. 00 grade-point aver age during his first semester.) A student who has been dismissed from this college may appeal to the Administration Committee for r eadmission. Generally, ·SUch a student will not be r eadmitted until h e has been out of school for at least one semester. Gordon Haferbecker Dean of Instruction . Film Series Will Present Cry the Beloved Country The College Library International Film Series will present Cry the Beloved Country ·on November 21 and 22. This film was based on the best-selling novel by Alan: Paton which was later presented as a hit play, and is now enjoying the same success in the movie industry. Canada Lee is starred in the role of a country priest searching for his son. Drawn at last to the city, the priest finds that his son has been sentenced to death for murder. Filmed on location in South J\frica, Cry the Beloved Country also stars Charles Carson and Sidney Poitier. This story of faith and destiny combating squalor and evil is a movie of both entertaining and educational value. · Opportunitie$ for EarIy XmaS Sh0ppers The Home Economics Department .js having a sale on December 4th, starting at 8 AM. It will be held on the second floor by the auditorium for one •lay only. Displays of the articles for sale may be seen next week in the home ec. rooms. The articles are made by home ec. majors and include clothing, knit articles, pillow casee, aprons, and food. · The co-chairmen for this sale are Vivian Krinke and Lila Ablard who believe this sale will give some of the early C)lristmas shoppers a chance to do their Christmas shopping right here in school.

VII A Practical App.roach, Learn by Observation Students in Mr. Knutzen's Midwest Literature class are learning the practical way this semester. Instead of just sitting in class and "hashing over" the many Midwest writers, the students have been getting out in the field and observing first hand the area that inspired the writing. Early in October, about 25 mem· bers of the class visited the Keshena Indian Reservation near Shawno. They heard an interesting account of the history of the Menominee Indian from Mrs, Angus Look-around, the widow of a Menominee Indian. Although Mrs. Look-around is herself a white, she is extremely well acquainted with the Indian. She has written several books, both prose and poetry, on this subject and also lectures ·extensively throughout the state. With this talented woman as a guide, the group rode through the reservation. They stopped at some of the points of interest and heard the history or legend behind them. The members of the group werf) also impressed with the scenery and coloring of the area. On the weekend of October 5, fourteen people, most students from the class, set out for Upper Michigan. The group left Stevens Point on Friday afternoon and returned Sunday evening. During this busy weekend the "wanderers" visited such places as Kitchi-ti-kippi Springs, the Cut River Bridge, Blaney Park, St. Ignace, Sault St. Marie (U.S. and Canada) and Mackinac Island. The value of the trip cannot be expressed in the· mere naming of places visited for the beautiful roadside scenery, the people they talked to, the other intangibles, are just as important as the "tourist attractions.'' Other trips are being planned by the class. Most of them will be just a carload of people visiting a place of interest. Washington Island, the Grotto Shrine at Rudolph, the Wausau Museum, are likely destinations. By actually going places in the Midwest and looking at them from a writer's point of view, the students a r e coming to understand better the writing of the Midwest authors. They see the source of the writing, the motivation behind it. Stevens Point, Wis.

Diane Darling and Pauline Ainsworth a.re in charge of this project although most esc girls are lending a hand. Board of Regents Gives OK to Maior in Economics In an action at Madison November 15, the regents approved a major in economics at Central State College. Effective the second semester of this year, the major can be ·granted to present sophomores and juniors on the campus who plan it properly in their curriculum. It may also be granted to some seniors due to be graduated in June, if they qualify with the required cour&es and semester hours, according to CSC Pres. William C. Hansen. history, English, chemistry, biology, geography, French, education, general science and social science. Attending the meeting of the regents for the first time November 15 was Lyle N.

Steiner Hall Chosen As Name for New Dorm The Board of State College Regents , meeting at Madison November 1 5, approved Steiner Hall as the name for the new Central State College men's dormitory now under construction on Fremont street between Main and Clark streets. The aetion was taken to honor the late Herbert R. Steiner, who was professor of history, chairman of the social science department and dean of m en at the local college. Professor Steiner died Aug. 7, 19 55, after 4 7 % years as & teacher. A graduate of the Stevens Point Normal School in 1910, he returned to the local campus in 191 8 as a faculty member. At his retirement in 1953 he was the second oldest teacher on the local faculty in years of service to the school. His widow lives at 432 Simonis Street. Don't let the monster get youl Actually this is just one of the machines used as "the men" merrily dug up our campus lawn last week. I THE POINTER The Pointer Gives Thanks ••• Joy reigns supreme in the Pointer office once again. The source of this great happiness lies within the student body, Somebody's ("somebodies" is more appropriate, since we refer to several people) discovered we have a LETTERS TO THE EDITOR column. Our last three issues have had at least one such letter and usually more. It is gratifying to note that students do have opinions and are willing to express them in print. What's more, the letters have all been· carefully prepared and seemingly of interest to other students. The Poin~r thanks those who have already contributed and says "keep them coming".

Cleveland St. Marshfield, Wisconsin It is interesting to note that more and more activities are being scheduled for the weekends. This weekend, Alpha Sigma Alpha is having its annual Harvest Festival and Omega Mu Chi is having its tea honoring all college women and faculty. Earlier this semester the Tau Gams and the Alpha Sigs both held teas on Sunday afternoons. On December 6, a Friday, the "Comedy of Errors" stunt night will be held. · It seems that the vicious circle of "l'm-going-home-because-there-isnothing-to-do; there-is-nothing-to-do-because-everyone-goes-home'' has been broken at last. MJB Carol J. Gruel 312 Walnut Street Manawa, Wisconsin VVhere VVere You? Dr. Ralph G. Nichols, head of the Department of Rhetoric at the University of Minnesota, spoke here Wednesday evening, November 13, and was heard by a very small audience of students and faculty. Dr. Nichols' subject, "The Power of Communication" was a timely one, and should have attracted many more teachers and future teachers. That only a handful of people attended, can not be· blamed on lack of publicity. Many posters were displayed around school, the POINTER carried an article, the weekly bulletin announced the lecture, and the Stevens Point Daily Journal had a preview. It woald seem, then, that this type of program is passed-up because of sheer lack of interest, expressed by some phrase "I'm too busy" or "I have to study". It seems (to quote Mr. Harris quoting someone else) that students are "too busy going to school to get educated." Let us hope that future programs will create more interest in the student body and that many more students will attend. MJB LOTERS TO THE· EDITOR Hon. N. S. Krushchev Chairman, Communist Party, U. S. S. R. Moscow (Kremlin), U. S. S. R . Dear Sir: As members of the Young Democratic Club of the Wisconsin State College at Stevens Point, Wisconsin, we would like to congratulate the scientists of the Soviet Union for the pioneering work which they have accomplished relative to the problem of conquering "outer space." We would like to commend you also for the moral and financial support which you have given to this program. In view of existing tensions in the world today, it may appear a bit strange for a group of American college students to communicate with the Chairman of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. Yet, we believe that achievement should be recognized. And to use an old American slang expression, we do not have a feeling of "sour grapes" because America was not first with the Sputniks. On the contrary, we believe that the accomplishments of Soviet science have aroused President Eisenhower from his apathy concernf.ng the potential of American science. The American people have also been forced to recognize that there are some things more important in this world than the new automobiles which they are anxiously hoping to purchase. America seems to have awakened to the fact that intellectual talent should be developed and encouraged. The epithet "egghead" had been relegated to oblivion. ·Our Republican brothers in America are no longer obsessed with the concept that a reduction in taxes is the ultimate goal of political activity. They, too, have been forced to admit that the policies of former Secretary of Defense, Charles Wilson, have seri- VOL. VII ously compromised America's position of strength and leadership in the world. We would like to extend a word of thanks to you for this change in attitude which has occurred on the part of the Eisenhower administration. For we believe that you deserve the credit. Sometimes it is necessary to shock public opinion in order to accomplish what has to be accomplished in a democracy. We again thank you for providing this stimulus which will once again restore America to her position of strength and leadership in the world. We would also like to extend the hope of our members that the Russian people and the American people will some day find it possible to live on the same planet in a spirit of relaxed friendliness. The race for the moon is on. But the race is not over. Thanks to the unsung sacrifices of the Russian people, the brilliant work of Russian scientists, and your political sagacity, America had been given the incentive to win this race. And win it we shall. Sincerely Yours, Robert E. Nordlander Chairman, Resolutions Committee 3 3 Lopas Street Menasha, Wisconsin Neil G. Greehling 514 Felker Avenue Marshfield, Wisconsin Gilbert R.

Schimelpfenig Rural Route # 3 Montello, Wisconsin FAMILIAR FACES Marlene Hanke Marlene Hanke, our first senior of the week, is 21 years old and is majoring in primary education. Marlene is the youngest in the Hanke family, having a brother and a sister. She · graduated from P. J. Jacobs in 1954, where she was active in GAA, Pep Club, Dramatic Club, Orchesis, and· was elected to the National Honor Society. Hailing from Stevens Point, Marlene was at home at esc from the start. Being treasurer of her class, she is also active in Primary Council, serving at one time as freshman representative, Newman <0lub, and is active in the Omega Mu Chi sorority (being a one-time vice•president, and now the presiding president). Emmy Runge . Tigerton, Wisconsin Where Was The Flag? Once upon a time, a certain man in a certain country wrote a certain song that was later to become famous as the symbol of the country in which it was written. Many times afterwards, the basic theme of this song was the cause of death, destruction, and aJl the other horrors that result from the instrument of society as WAR. Finally, it was decided by some that they should have one day when their country honored all who died in the course of defending the beliefs and principles exemplified by the song. They called this day "Veteran's Day." I'm pretty sure that if the author of the song, Francis Scott Key, had had the privilege of visiting the campus of CSC on November 11, 1957, or any other day thie year, instead of writing the song he did, he would have had something like, "Oh, say can you see, by the dawn's early light, except on the campus of esc, what so ....proudly we hailed, at the twilight's last gleaming." HOW COME??? Jim Miller A Brief History of Ye Old Nelson· Hall By Nancy Hager Writing the history of Nelson Hall is quite an assignment, even for a veteran reporter. Perhaps if the walls in said building could speak, they would no doubt relate enough secrets, scenes, and situations to fill a book. But after sitting for a number of evenings, waiting for the structure to begin it::: story, we heard only the usual .noise of drip.ping faucets , midnight popcorn parties, and the sound effects from the front porch. As we left the dorm, in search of a few· facts, we heard a whispered remark behind us, "Get your own articles! I've suffered through 45 years of a story that would probably be censored anyway!" Mrs. Pfiffner offered us the most assistance, as she was house mother at Nelson Hall from September, 1941 to February, 1943. She referred us to Mrs. Mary Scribner, a resident of Stevens Point, who lived in Nelson HaiL in the fall of 1918. After living there for a few weeks, Mrs. Scribner recalls being evacuated to make room for the incoming soldiers, the SATC. The girls soon nicknamed them the Saturday Afternoon Tea Club. Some of the interesting statistics Mrs. Scribner gave us were: Hours: Girls were not permitted to go out during the week. 11:00 on Friday and Saturday and 1: 0 0 on dance nights. Girls could not attend dances unless they had special permission. Rooms: $27 for 9 weeks. Laundry: lOc per hour for use of iron. Had to sign in advance to use laundry facilities. Boys: Boys were permitted to dance or visit with girls in the recreation room from 6: 3 0 to 7: 0 0 every evening. (Count your blessings girls of '57) . On Sunday the girls were permitted to have boys to dinner at an additional 5 Oc. The most interesting incident Mrs. Scribner could remember was when the boys placed red lights in the corridors and then ran through the dorm yelling "Fire!" The girls arrived downstairs to find no fire and just a group of laughing fellows peering in the windows. To be sure it'll be a full and, active final 25 weeks for Marlene ~n­ ke. Gerald Bruss Gerald Bruss, one of the most familiar faces about the campus, was ready to repack and return to Fremont, his hometown, about three years ago. Today Jerry considers his ye•ra at Central State to be the best of his life, but he says, "I'm glad to be graduating this year (at least I think I will). It'll seem good to gt out and earn some· money to buy some of the things I've always wanted. Jerry, 21 years old and president of the senior class, is majoring in mathematics, with physics and chemistry as minors. Future plans include teaching and no doubt the service. Some of Jerry's childhood dreams of future professions included a farmer (being raised on a farm), a snow plow driver, (we could use one around here), and a baseball player. In addition to being chief navigator of his class, Jerry is active on tb.e Student Council, serves Sigma Zeta as vice presidnt, and is president ol Delzell Hall, his home on campJJs. Outside interests include hunting (especially with a bow), fishing, baseball, and boating. He loves a good hearty homecooked meal of potatoes, meat and gravy. One of his pet peeves is working on a math problem for hours and never getting the right answer. In summing up four wonderful years here at Central State College Jerry says, "It's been great!" Marlene Hanke Marlene has a wide variety of interests. One of her most interesting hobbies is keeping a scrapbook and picture album of her high school and college days. In addition, she is active in swimming and tennis, loves picnics, · popular and classical music, singing (when alone), and dancing. She is .a very talented member of Orchel'!is. All these activities, along with one "special" man in her life, have kept Marlene quite occupied. Liking "kids" as much as she does, Marlene's future plans include teaching them. An ardent fan of the Campus Cafe, Marlene's first impression of CSC was "four long years." Those four years went fast and she sums them up like this: "I just love it here at Central Gerald Bruss State. The teachers and students Congratulations Jerry, on a job are so friendly and practice teaching is great . I can hardly wait to well done and good luck on the final start teaching on my own. Just 25 lap. We're glad too, that you didn't go back home three years ago. weeks left!" Mrs. Pfiffner recalls her own college days when Nelson Hall was under the direction of Miss Bertha Hussey. In those days, most everyone was "on the outside trying to get in" for Mrs. Pfiffner remembers being thrilled at receiving an invitation to dinner at the dorm. Every Tuesday evening people outside the dorm were permitted to !lance in the recreation room and the place was usually packed. During the depression the girls wer e permitted to do light housekeeping in ·t he dorm and no regular dining room meals were served. Before the second World War, meals were served family style, with girls serving as hostesses, and waitresses. One of the highlights of the month was a formal dinner, at which members of the faculty were entertained. Mrs. Pfiffner remembers catching a group of girls short-sheeting beda and thought it a rather nasty trick, so she turned around and short-sheeted theirs. (Sounds like fun! ) We should probably add that at this time Mrs. Pfiffner was the house· mother. Mrs. Pfiffner found the Halloween, Christmas, and Mother-Daughter Parties the most eventful when she served as director. During her first Halloween party, when they initiated new girls and house mothers, she was asked to roll a peanut across the room with her nose - and did it! Miss Vivian Kellog and Miss Mary Neuberger, presently on the college staff, were also residents of the hall at one time. Some of the upper classmen will remember Mrs. Angel and Miss Elstad, directors until 1956. These are only a few of the incidents and people in the history of this Central State dormitory - a "winter home'' for some 140 girls. Alpha Sigs1 Sorority Founding Commemorated On November 1 5, 1901, five girls on the campus of Longwood College at Farmville, Virginia, established the bonds of sisterhood through the formation of a new sorority. Now, 56 years later, Alpha Sigs all over the United States have celebrated the anniversary of the founding of their sorority. To commemorate this event, the local chapter of Alpha Sigma Alpha met at the home of Mrs. Warren Jenkins on Tuesday evening, November 12. After the business meeting everyone greatly enjoyed a lunch of pizza and coke. A Founders' Day skit was presented by Helen Nowicki and Marge Loftis. Priscilla Lundberg then led the group in singing Alpha Sig songs. Those attending the party were the actives; the pledges; the advisors, Miss Vivian Kellog, Mrs. Henry Runke, and Mrs. Raymond Specht; and the patronesses, Mrs. Warren Jenkins and Mrs. Herman Toser.

Some people prefer nice new things; such as 19 58 Cadillacs. Other people prefer relics; such as 1930 and 1931 Fords. Two of the latter mentioned are Nels Werner and Jiggs Meuret. Here's a little inside "info" on. their cars. "The Golden Beetle", owned by Nels Werner, is a 1930 Ford Coupe with a two-tone gold paint job. The inside is yellow and it has yellow imitation leather upholstery. This vehicle was built in two years by Lynn Topliss, an auto mechanics instructor at Fond du Lac Senior High School. Nels purchased "The Golden Beetle" from gm Bucher, who possessed it for a year and a half. It has been in its present owner's care for a little over three months. Jiggs purchased the car four years ago (that was when he was a senior in high school, in case anyone is interested in that type ot information) for $20.00. This price included the fenders; however, they have been removed to decrease wind resistance . The rumble seat has also been removed to accomodate a spare tire , jack, etc., but most of all to prevent the serious problem of back seat dri ving! Being a very generous person, Jiggs shared the "vulture" with all of esc around Homecoming ~ it was the Mary Lou Mobile. In spring it becomes the Phi Sig Mobile and transports the Phi Sigs and their refreshments to all the Phi Sig Parties .. Nels Werner is traveling in style this y~ar in his old "tin lizzie." Some of the statistics concerning the "Golden Beetle" are: It is stock except for the following: chopped four and one half inches, 16 inch wire wheels, padded dash, a continental kit, airplane front shock absorbers, and the aluminum headlights -they were taken from a 1928 Plymouth. It has a four cylinder engine with 24 horsepower. It has a ten gallon gas tank and a three galion cooling system. The rod clearance is nine and one half inches and the wheel base is 103 inches. The total weight, not counting Nels or any of his female passengers, is 25,000 pounds, 250 of which are undercoating. It has a. floor shift and a gas heater. The top speed attained is just a little better than 50 miles per hour, (it took Nels only four and one half hours to travel 2 2 5 miles.) He gets approximately 2 0 miles per gallon of gasoline and 400 miles per quart of oil. The only complaint Nels has about the "Golden Beetle" is that it can ()Illy hold three people. However, this factor is outweighed by a very distinct advantage - it is certainly very cozy for two! 1 Advancing now to the' more modern, let's take a look at the 19 31 stock Mod 6 "A" Ford owned by Jiggs Meuret. The "Vulture" also has a four-cylinder engine (the original) with a horsepower in the neighborhood of 30, supposedly. A record of nine people have ridden in the "Vulture" at one time six in the front, and three in the trunk. Jiggs can recall one time when he was e.rrested for having four people in the front seat (three girls and himself). In fact, he had to miss an intra-squad track meet to make his appearance in court. It seems as if the judge was rather kind-hearted though --- he felt that anyone who had to drive a car like that couldn't afford to pay a fine, so he let Jiggs go. Although the "Vulture" has caused Jiggs a little trouble, it does have its advantages. It has a terrific pick up the record is five girls in one afternoon. Although it doesn't run too well, it has a reputation of being very good at parking. Like everything else, Jiggs' car does have a few bad habits- one of these is stopping in front of every bar it comes too mechanical failure, you know! Due to mechanical failure it does stop practically any place it decides too, but never fear, .a piece of bailing wire and a pair of pliers are all that are needed for any repairs. Due to the fact that it hibernates in winter, this "Vulture" will not be seen on campus until this spring something to look forward to! We're glad everyone doesn't believe in living modern! Jiggs Meuret rides again, in one of Henry Ford's horseless carriages. Religious News NEWMAN CLUB The Newman Club executive. board met on Thursday eveniE.g, No-\·ember 7.

Don Casanova then opened the business meeting. Ann Zimmerman reported that the preparation for the banquet was being carried out very well by everyone. It will be held on Sunday, tne 25th of November. Many of the group are relishing the thought of a home-cooked turkey dimier. Three cars loaded with 16 people made their way to Madison several week-ends ago to attend the Lakes Region Convention. Jerry Eruss gave a report on the meeting and a few of the extra-curriculars such as the runaway car keys! Bowling, square dancing, meeting, tours , banquets, and a vesper service were the ingredients that made the convention enjoyed by everyone who attended.' It was announced that the winter camp would be held at Houghton, Michigan, this year during the second week-end in February. The Lakes Region plans on chartering buses for the occasion. Start saving your pennies if you want to get in on the fun. Rev. Wunderlich briefly supplemented the previuos Sunday's Bible Class study. He cleared up some of the questions that had developed on the discussion of Marriag.e and the Christian Home. After refreshments the group went into the church for a short vesper service before departing for the evening. WESLEY The Wesley Fou-ndation on campas has been very active this year. Wesley, the local body of the State Methodist Student Movement, has been meeting very religiously all year. The meetings are held at the Methodist Church at the Corne~· of Strongs Avenue and Brawley Street. All m'eetings are announced through th• media of the studev.t mailboxes. The Wesley Foundation is sponsoring a series of lectures this semester of the EXPRESSION OF OUR CHRISTIAN FAITH. This is being done with the help o~ loca.l businessmen and. local educators. The next· talk in line will be held on November 24. The th.eme of the · talk will b~ THE EXPRESSION OF OUR CHRISTIAN FAITH THROUGH MUSIC. Doctor Marple will be the speaker for this talk. All students interested in attending are invited to do so. Wesley Foundation is opened to all students interested in good Christian Fellowship and worship.

Rehearsals are held regularly and all are invited to join. "MAKE A 'JOYFUL NOISE UNTO THE LORD" Round and About By Ranty Greetings, salutations, .and all that sort which people use to hoodwink their fellowman. Since the last time Herman and I were around a few things have changed. · Sputnik is the favorite of the odds makers, Khruchev says it's booze that soothes, and while Zhukov mentions political parties aren't for him, Mr. Dixon is diligently trying to teach his dog to play chess. To this last statement. Herman says, "Sausage." (This shows my ·dog's superiority.) This is the issue I promised to give a few comments on "Teachers, Problems, and Insomnia." The staff has put me on the spot by wanting me to mention something about the CSC faculty since the Nine Weeks Experience is just passing. Although not acquainted with the faculty, my statements will be directed toward them as the representatives of this process of Education. (P.S. I may ch;:tnge my mind about some of these things when I learn to read and see what the mid-ten~ reports say.) Yes, students, you ·are right teachers are the beasts that the taxpayer pushes on beaten down individuals. Yes, this group has problems they invent them .. And finally, they have insomnia, because J;low could they think up such nasty ideas during regular hours. (Seriously, I can't find much wrong with the individuals, but they Oh! Long Awaited Rest I am thankful for Thanksgiving, Even as I write this I am thankful that it is only ten days away; tomorrow I will be even more thankful that it will be only nine days away; the day after tomorrow ... 'Vhy am I thankful for this day? For a multitude of reasons, these of course not being equal in relative importance. First of all, I am thankful for the pe~iod ot freedom given to all students at this time known as vacation. I am . thankful at this time that my bus home is an early one; and, with luck, I may precede my low slips into my parents awaiting arms. After my homecoming my thankfullness will doubtless increase tenfold. For there will be FOOD. For awhile at least my 'peanut-butter wanness' will disappear. I can see that scrumptious Thanksgiving dinner now . . . first wholesome meal since school started ... ooops, a discrepancy, I did go home one weekend. At home I shall relax. (No eight o'clock classes-with absent or waylaid teachers after you literally pulled yourself out of a nice warm ? bed to get there in the first place-or pop, should have been prepared for, tests.) All my long lost and haven't written to for a long time buddies will be home too. We can comare notes at the .local meeting place without having to be a potential track star by running for home at ten-o'clock. TEN o'clock ... ten more days ... What else am I thankful for? Well, in · all seriousness I am above all thankful for God, despite my complaints because I do appreciate being here, and beneath all my gripes I really am in awe of the wonderful life and world he has given me. I appreciate too my parents. If not for them I would not be here and subject to the dilema termed "college life." I am thankful for my one sister too. Thankful that for once my clothes aren't hers too . . . now they're my roomates. At the close of these few days of freedom I suppose I will be so mellowed as to appreciate coming back to my Alma Mater. With renewed stamina and vigor I c·an once again face stifling classes in the basement, and FREEZING ones on third. Perhaps with eager enthusiasm I will anticipate the treks in the snow, to and from the pooL I am thankful too that our teachers will have had a rest ~nd will be back witl;l. renewed vigor and ideas. I appreciate more each year our ancestors who so considerately· chose this time of the year for their maiden voyage to our shores. So as I pack my clean clothes and prepare for the boredom of the bus ride back to school, I am thankful for one more thing . . . Christmas vacation is but twenty days away, and the day after I get back it will be nineteen. C. Erickson do represent some tather-dfs.l~i!t.t ideas which I strate by "usual" From the day a student co·m•,.• ·"11<-:· the time he leaves, he hears, do they teach you at high these days?" I just wonder kind of teachers our teachers By the way they sound it must been Plato and Aristotle in flesh! And this one. "You don't how to read." True, but our great predecessors learn see, Depression, World War II, still we have troubles - in fact we have been left is a mess. "The trouble with you young ple is that you have no adventure." We're adventuresome, b\t the gdOfl old days have changed to de:lfn,qu4&nt:··, behavior and who is at the educators. "Think." When did this bebagt If you entertain thinking you are wasting time; and if you are re-ereating, you are just typical that means stupid. "You're •not children anymore and we the faculty endeavor to treat you this way." Still, who reports thethree cuts and who is in favor of limiting the numbe~ of autos on campus, and who would like to see the students under lock and key? I wonder?? Aren't these great little gems and they do certainly inflict such wonderful results - like "Drop Dead." The student body has apathy, strange? Rambling Around The Nelson Hall Nellies came up with this one - The Russians have taken up night horseback riding. Why? Because they have sattelites. Veterans Day what does it mean? By the number of students and faculty at the assembly I wonder I guess fire drills are more important than a way of life? Individualism is great, but society, bah! Last Thursday Nelson Hall had the "good old days" by having a power failure. Anyway, after an adjustment to the darkness the lounge sounded like it was host to a plumbers convention. Any pucker left men? Justice: We did learn one thing in high school. When the teachers convene in Milwaukee it is supposed to be vacationtime. Well, again it is time for Herman and yours truly to shuffle off and leave you with the good word for the day, "If our education continues, save your Confederate money and I predict it will be valuable." Anyway, if you do have ingrown toe nails, it's no use to hang by your thumbs, so keep up a good fight and if too many people are walking on the walls, head for the floor - Civil Defense. Local Clergyman Speaks At Veterans Day Program In observance of Veterans Day on Monday, November 11, a program was held in the auditorium at 10:45. This is an annual observance in memory of the men who served and died in the two world wars. The program was begun with everyone rising and facing the East for the sounding of taps. President Hansen then introduced Reverend Perry Saito, of St. Paul's Methodist Church, to the audience. Rev. Saito spoke on the significance of Veterans Day, and urged everyone to live for the principles for which the veterans fought and died. To conclude the program, President Hansen spoke briefly on American Education Week, pointing out the fact that it coincides with Veterans Day and is important to the schools. MOVIE Library Theatre Showings Today and Tomorrow BE SURE TO ATTEND THIS FEATURE THE POIJ'iTER ~~·II Season Is Here Again! Central State's '57-'58 Squad Basketball is again upon us and .Chings don't look too bad for the Pointer squad although C o a c h Quandt has said, "To think of a repeat of last year's fine season is out of the question." Four members of last year's fine team will be back, though; Luebstorf, Krull, Kestly, and Sekel. Fritz Kestly was the team's fourth highest scorer last year. He is a senior and stands 6'2". Fritz is a good medium .distance shooter, and a fine ball handler and the best baseline driver on the squad. He is a regular end on the football team as well as a fine broad jumper and 4 4 0 man in track. LaVern Luebstorf, although only 6'2", will rebound with the best in the league. He's a great competitor and team man and has the best shooting percentage on the team. He is only a junior and has a little under a straight A average in college. Vern is capable of hitting in the thirties on any given night. Jack Krnll made all-conference last year and was voted the most valuable player by his teammates. Jack possesses a fine pump shot, is 6' tall and a junior. He scored 32 points against Millersville in the NAIA Tournament last year. Bill Sekel is a junior and was the sixth man on the 1956-57 championship team. He stands 6'2" and is a very fine rebounder. No doubt but that he will be on that post when the season opens this year.

His place cannot be filled. Again the squad will lack a really tall player. However there is a fair overall height available. Pretty fair speed with much more bench strength than last year are the main attributes of the squad. Coach Quandt expects to get much needed help from a fine bunch of newcomers, such as LeRoy Sroda, Stevens Point; Sampson, Wilson, and Ristow, from Wisconsin Rapids; Tom Frizzell of Amherst; Don Koethe, of West Allis; Charles Parr of Adams; Arv Britten of Wausau, Bill Kubeny of Antigo; and Dennis Schmidtke of Woodruff; to name a few, along with a couple of transfers who will become eligible the second semester. Hank Milsna, 6'5" center from Nekoosa looks to be the biggest hopeful among the second semester eligibles. ·Danforth Graduate Fellows Offered The Danforth Foundation, an educational foundation located in St. Louis, Missouri, invites applications for the seventh class ( 19 58 ) of Danforth Graduate Fellows from college senior men and recent graduates who are preparing themselves for a career of college teaching, and are planning to enter school in September, 1958, for their first year of graduate· study. The Foundation welcomes applicants from the areas of Natural and Biological Sciences, Humanities and all fields of specialization to be found in the undergraduate college. Prsident \Vm. C. Hansen has named Mr. Gilbert Faust as the Liaison Officer to nominate to the Danforth Foundation two or not to exceed three candidates for these 19 58 fellowships. These appointments are fundamentally "a r elationship of encouragement" throughout the years of graduate study, carrying a promise of financial aid within prescribed conditions as there may be needed. The maximum annual grant for single Fellows is $1400 plus tuition and fees charged to all graduate students; for married Fellows, $2400 plus tuition and fees charged to all grad_uate The complete roster is as follows: Name Home..

His college basketball teams have won 112 games while losing 93. His best campaigns were: 1947-48 (15-5), 195051 (12-8), 1952-53 (15-6), 1955-56 (12-9), 1956-57 (17-6). The 195657 team was undisputed conference champions and took part in the NAIA Tournament held in Kansas City, where they defeated Millersville in the opening round, and then were eliminated by Hamline. The way it looks there is no soft touch on the 21 game schedule. The Pointers play every conference team with the exception of LaCrosse this year, plus nine non-conference gaines with some outstanding teams such as the Great Lakes Navy team, Winona and St. Cloud from the Minnesota college conference, and Lawrence, Ripon, Northland, Milton, Lakeland, and St. Norberts from Wisconsin.

Yes, Grandma, I-do go to church every, Sunday; yes, I do study hard; yes, I go to bed early . and yes, my teachers are very nice to me. Oh Grandma! Remember the dance I told you about? It was just fabulous. Elgert took me and grandma, he's the most! Elgert is about five feet four, with black hair that's parted in the middle - you know, like Grandp.a's was on his Senior class picture. Well, anyway, we walked over to the dance and we talked about just everything, Just think, Gran, he told me that his dad put forty-four feet of fodder into their silo. Imagine! And I told him all about Nellybelle's new calf and how Mama is so proud of her geraniums. Oh, there was , so much to talk about and he is so interesting. Well, the dance was fabulous and I got back to the dormitory at almost 10: 15! We talked a few minutes on the steps and Elgert told me all about his new slide rule and how to add positive and negative numbers. He's positively brilliant. Well, finally Elgert said he had a wonderful time and we shook hands and said goodnight. They say here, Gram, that a girl isn't a true co-ed until she has shaken hands with a boy on the steps of Nelson Hall. Last night my roommate and I went out to Rudy's. That's sort of a student union. You know, the kids get together and talk and stuff. It was fun. We ate peanuts and drank soda. I never tasted that kind of pop before. My roommate said it .was "sky-blu e water". Anyway, it was good after I got used to it. I felt sorry for one girl who was at Rudy's (that's the student union, you know) . She was down on her hands and knees all night long. I think she was looking for her change or something. Anyhow, I couldn't stand it anymore, so I got down and helped her look for it. Oh, by the way, you mentioned the asli tray you saw on my desk last Sunday. I'm sorry if it alarmed you - I should have explained, but it's for my bobby pins. That's one of the fads here, having ash trays in the girls' rooms for 'their bobby pins. Well, Grandma, I guess I better get to bed. Say· hello to grandpa and the hired man for me.

Speech Consumes Seventy Per Cent of Our Time By Carol Jensen Dr. Ralph Nichols, chairman of the Department of Rhetoric, University o:f Minnesota, was guest speaker here for National .Education Week. The progr1_1.n'l was presented November 13. in the Library Theatre. Mr. Nichols spoke on "The Power of Communication", It was pointed out to us that 70 per cent of our time each day is spent in verbal forms. Our powers of communication were divided into three classes: One, the power to resolve controversy; two, power to b1,1ild a co.mmunity; three, power to transmit our cultural heritage. The subject of speech training was also discussed by Mr. Nichols. He stated that speech has usually been just an extra-curricular activity, and many high schools have failed to add it at all. Teachers have too many students; therefore they can't have their students do enough writing of compositions nor do they have the chance to give them proper speech training. Our culture needs the ability to speak as well as listen, write and read. All these must be given equal attention. Mr. Nichols entertained questions from the floor after his lecture. One of the questions brought forward was. "Does television improve peoples' listening ability and knowledge?" Mr. Nichols replied that 97 per cent of the worst listeners knew and watched television programs · such as Bob Hope, westerns and so on. On the other hand, 97 per cent of the best listeners were also acquainted with television programs, but programs in the educational field as well as others. Shocking statistics on the nation's reading, listening, writing, and speaking ability was presented by Mr. Nichols. It was noted that without training most of us listen at a 2 5 per cent accuracy basis. In first grade 9 0 per cent of the children know what their teacher has been saying. In high school only about 28 per cent The National Education Week proof the students listen well. Listening in a good way becomes harder for us gram proved to be both interesting as we age. and enjoyable to all in attendance. Kl<r' $~t Lambda Omega Rho Some fraternities get a~etes.

SIGN OF GOOD TASTE BoHied under authority of the Coca-C:ola Company by LA SALLE COCA-COLA BOTTLING COMPANY I THE POINTER I FROM THE SIDELINES Although Coach Quandt isn't too optimistic, things don't look too bad for the Pointer basketball squad this season. The loss of Jimmy Marko will hurt as Jim was one of the finest play-makers in the league and one of the outstanding defensive players also. Three of the top four scorers from last year's squad are returning in the persons of Lavern Luebstorf, Jack Krull, and Fritz Keatley. Luebstorf and Krull average 1-2 while Kestly was fourth behind Jimmy Marko. The future looks bright for Pointer basketball fans as there is only one senior on the squad this year. Broken down, there are 12 .freshmen, four sophomores, and five juniors. Hank Milsna is looked to, to provide the needed height when he becomes eligible second semester. Hank was quite a prolific scorer at Nekoosa last year. The Wisconsin Valley Conference provides two of its top boys in Sammy Sampson, from Wisconsin Rapids; and Bill Kubeny, from Antigo. Sampson made all-conference, while Kubeny is a deadly outside shooter. As it looks now, the first five will be composed of Krull, Luebstorf, Kestly, Broda, and Sekel, with Sampson, Kubeny, Schmidtke, Kottke, and Parr being the top reserves. The average height of the starting five is fair. Krull is· the smallest, at an even 6', while Sekel goes 6'3" with the rest of the boys around the 6'2" mark. But if there are any 6'8" centers around school who have playing experience, please report to Coach Quandt's office at once. Well, Oklahoma has finally come to the end of the trail, as Notre Dame defeated the Sooners last Saturday, by a score of 7-0. Like many other football fans, I witnessed the game on television. It seemed to be a game between two evenly matched teams. Notre Dame was probably the toughest team Oklahoma has played or wiil play this season, but the Irish are still a long way from being tops in the covntry. Notre Dame showed a good balanced offense, while Oklahoma had a good, tough defense and showed a fine kicking game. The play on which Notre Dame scored was a fine call, I think. It was the same kind of play that the Packers maybe should have called when twice they failed to score with the ball on their opponents' one-yard line and four chances to make it. I didn't think that Williams' choice of plays was of the best in the last minute when Notre Dame passed on 3rd and 4th down. It would seem that Notre Dame, holding a seven-point lead with a minute to go, would play possession football and try to eat up time. Don't be surprised if the Minnesota Gophers spring an upset on the Badgers next Saturday at Minneapolis. The Gophers have quite a few seniors who will be playing their last game of their college career at Memorial Stadium, and will try to make it a winning one. Minnesota was one of the pre-season favorites to go to the Rose Bowl but a series of bad breaks, injuries, and a rough schedule have deterred that hope. The Gophers have a rough team, though, and if they come through with a game that they are capable of, it could be a rough afternoon for the Badgers. 1\ly average has been slipping but at least for the last couple of weeks, it has been consistent, as for both the weekends of November 9th and 16th, I came up w-ith identical 13-6 records for a .684 percentage. This now brings my season record to 11045 and a .710 per centage. The next few weeks may be rough to pick, especially the weekend of November 30th, as there are many traditional games being played, such as the Army-Navy game, GeorgiaGeorgia-Tech, Mississippi-Mississippi State, etc. These are games which are played every year and turn into r eal battles. No matter what the season record is of the teams, you can't always m ake one of them a favorite upsets are numerous. Oh, well, here I go.

Sincere Thanksgiving Greetings from Rufus "If you flunk and get a low slip you can put on a life jacket But NEVER give up the ship." By now all the looked-forward-to low slips have been sent out. I'm surely glad my parents only got seven of them. Of course, they'd think I was awfully stupid if I didn't get any. I wouldn't appreciate the low-slip at all if they were just crammed into my mailbox. Why I'd probably think they were just fan-letters from Dean Eagon or Dean Pffifner. You know, the hot spots in Point (such as Fisher's Dairy) were pretty cold the last few weeks. We must have a few non-studious individuals here at CSC. Bet they were doing that nasty thing (I hate to even say it) called "cramming their craniums." I couldn't even find a stale peanut, potato chip, or weed butt around - that's just a mild way of saying I missed you. Yes, it's that season again. Hope you fellows all get your d-e-a-r. One fel_low was going around school with a white flag and running a temperature, so I asked him what was the matter and you know what he said yeah, that's wrong - h e had buckfever! The weekend before the following weekend I helped Cousin Scmoresinki burrow down below the pull of gravity just in case any of you guys get "rat-fever." I've decided that come Thanksgiving it'll just be too "lively" for me around the dorm. Suppose you've at least started your Christmas shopping. If you haven' t, girls, remember ties or hankies are a lways nice and, boys, remember diamonds are a girls best friend, n ext to mink!

You're jerked out of your dreamy state and look around to see where this came from. It was just a rather loud guy over at the corner table who wanted some more cards dealt to him. Turning back to the TV, you realize you've missed quite a bit ...... and you can' t heat very well anyway. Giving up the idea of watching TV, your eyes rove around the room. Over at the table in the corner is "Joe", the big-time gambler, ("College level" that is), whom you b.ave already heard, showing off his "poker vocabulary". Gosh, you can find Joe with a deck of cards in his hand practically any time you come down here to the Student Union The door's opening, immediately you, with about 99 ·per cent of the other boys present, turn and face the door. Nothing happens though, and the door is closed almost immediately. Soon after this the door opens again, this time a head is poked around and withdrawn immediately, so you and the other guys presently return to your previous occupations. The fellows playing shuffleboard are really whooping it up, and th·3 Bang, Bang as the discs hit the end of the table draws your attention. But wait, the door's opening again, sure enough after three attempts that girl is finally getting enough courage to come in. Watching the girls come in, is about as popular an activity as watching TV (No wonder the girls are few). But then there are some girls who are "eyeing up the field" too. They must be fairly successful around here considering the couples who take advantage of the other room. That room has the most luxrious, soft chairs and couches. It's really a very nice "relaxing" room to be in. Of course, you don't really get a chance to appreciate the decor, such as the color combinations, the drapes, etc. because it is a lways so dark in there. Guess the student activity fund can't afford light bulbs. The group that had the outdoor theater last year at Nelson Hall must have decided to move inl"loors for the winter. But, for the convenience of the unsuspecting they should advertise the name of the produ ction on the door so that you don't walk into the wrong show at the wrong time. It must be nine o'clock. Here come the people who have been over at our "second union" or didn't you readers know. That modern building just down the street to the south of Delzell Hall, well that's the h an g out on campus, you know, where you can "meet the gang" and · "shoot the breeze". You can usually find more of a field of girls to look over there too. But the trouble is they close the place at nine . So since the cold weather arrived, the gan gs and couples have moved over h er e and raid the concession stand and the food m achines. This a sketch of a night at our Student Union according to some stu dent Union according to some students. But we must remember that the Union is what we make it. It's ther e for us to use and enjoy, and is run by a student board who will welcome constructive criticism and suggestions. Let's take advantage of our Student Union's facilities!

I SIASEFI NEWS ~ In the last meeting of the presidium many things were discussed. The Siasefi organization is planning on entering the "Comedy of Errors" with Jim Collard as chairman of the Siasefi errors. What kind of mad foolishness we will put on is yet to be discussed. We'll get together a few days before the day of the show and think up something. So don't forget to attend and applaud when we get the trophy. At the meeting, a distinguished world traveler and lecturer, Mr. Allen Summers, gave a dissertation on the conditions of the Stevens Point penal settlement. His talk was well received by the members attending. SPORTS Jack Krull, athletic director, reported on the intramural program at CSC. Gobbler did not have much to report on as he didn't have any information. The Siasefi's have planned on entering many intramural sports during the school year. Many of the Siasefi members are participating in the College Bowling League and are sporting nice averages. Dave Stuiber leads all Siasefi bowlers with a 163 average and Jack Krull brings up the rear with a 106 average. Deer hunting is here, and many big game hunters like Jim • Shafranski, Dennis DeDeker, Dudley Korth and Bob Bach are out to get one or two. They have good steady bloodshot eyes to bag one of these elusive animals. We'll report on some of the big deer stories later.
