Certainly there are many students who have both the time and interest who are not speaking up. We need the help of people interested in photography, reporting, proofreading, and typing. Experience on another school paper is not necessary. Won't you be a belonger, not a by-stander and join the POINTER? MJB LOTERS TO THE EDITOR 'I'O WHOM THIS MAY CONCERN: questions without an overwhelming In these days of rising college costs the average student is forced to look around him and see which is the most economical way to turn. One of the major problems that confronts him is where to eat and how much to pay. For this reason, I believe, the cafeteria in Nelson Hall was originated. I was interested in procuring a ticket for the coming semester, on the belief that I could do a better job on a well balanced diet then on the hit-or-miss plan I had been following. But in the course of said enterprise I was on all sides beset with questions and problems that to :~De seemed unfair. After searching desperately for an answer to these questions, I found myself in such a welter of RED TAPE that I felt it would be best to publicly air them and thus force an answer. According to the new handbook the cost of eating three meals a day, for one semester, at Nelson Hall is one hundred and sixty dollars. However, when I tried to buy a ticket I found that as I was not a resident of Delzell Hall, the same ticket would cost me one hundred and ninety five dollars. Can it be that the school figures I gain so much living in a private home, rather then a regimented dormitory, that I should be willing to pay the extra thirty five dollars? Or was the cafeteria set up for the express purpose of allowing those favored few residents of Nelson and Delzell Halls to eat there at reduced rates, at the expense of those other students who pay the higher fee? Is it fair to set up a few students as favored and force the remainder of the group to subsidize them? There is a second problem that for want of a satisfactory answer, I can't understand. That is, why can't I buy meal tickets, for the semester, on anything other than the three meal basis? When I inquired about the possibility of purchasing a ticket for two meals a day on a semester basis, I was told that this was impossible and that I would have to buy the tickets weekly. This, of course, would mean the paying of extra money. Once again, I was given no reason for the situation. However, it seems to me that these tickets could be sold on a semester as well as a weekly basis. All that it would mean would be a cut in the cost of their administration. However, I suppose that the cafeteria, like some other governmental enterprises, works on the theory of: hire as many people as possible, who cares who pays for it, there's plenty of money where the last came from. So I implore, if there is anyone in school capable of answering these VOL. VII multitude of if's, and's, and but's, I would very much appreciate hearing from them. Sincerely yours, Rod Justesen P. S. If no answer is received·! am afraid that I will be forced to reach one of two obvious conclusions: Either the school is trying to cover something up, or there. is no one involved in the program that is capable of cutting their own red tape. Editor The Pointer Letters to the Editor Dear Editor: In the 16 January 1958 edition of the Pointer, a vehement, but interesting letter appeared which questioned my honesty and integrity concerning the publication of letters which I received from Messrs. L~ird and O'Konski in the 19 December 1957 editi1m of the college paper. Mr. Davis stated that I enjoyed "dealing in character assassination through deceit, half-truths, and misrepresentation" because I did not have available for publication the letters which I had addressed to the above named gentlemen. As I didn't make any carbon copies of the letters in question, I would like to suggest to any interested party that they write Congressmen Laird and O'Konski for copies of my letters as they should still be gathering dust in their files. I also grant permission to any interested person to publish the complete contents of these letters if they believe publication will expose me as a rogue and blackguard. This matter of "character assassination" intrigues me. Frankly-, I would like to know whose character has been assassinated. Perhaps Mr. Davis had Jerry Menzel's character in mind. If criticism of his conduct toward Don Werth and I at the O'Konski meeting constitutes "character assassination", perhaps the term should be redefined. For the record, I would like to say that I believe Jerry Menzel is a sincere exponent of Wisconsin Republicanism. A reading of the letters which Don Werth and I had published in the 6 December 1957 edition of the Stevens Point Journal and the 9 & 16 December 1957 editions of the Capital Times should erase any misconceptions concerning "character assassination" which Bob Davis's letter may have planted in the minds of the students of "Central State". Let's get to the heart of the issue at stake in this controversy. A political organization is a quasi-public institution. It is also a private organization but not quite in the sense that a social fr~ternity or lodge is a private organization.

Don Werth and I did not object to the right of the Young Republicans to hold a private business meeting. We did object to the right of the YGOPS to hang the private label on the meet~ ing which was addressed by Representative O'Konski, because his remarks were of public interest. Therefore, as members of the voting public, Don and I had as much right to hear Congressman O'Konski as any loyal member of the local Young Repubiican organization. Don and I still maintain that this particular meeting should have been treated as a public event as people who are "distasteful to the group" also have the right to know where their representatives in congress stand on the crucial issues of the day. ( It seems a bit ridiculous for a political organization to claim the prerogatives of a private organization if it wishes to influence ·public opinion. Congressman O'Konski was here to carry the Republican message to as many people as he possibly could. Unfortunately the Young Republicans of "Central State" screened the audience because they didn't want the meeting delayed for the few minutes with questions that Don and I might have asked. I would like to- suggest at this point that Jerry Menzel ought to have his watch repaired. The time consumed by my .questions and Representative Laird's replies cons-qmed only fifteen minutes of the precious time of the organization. The local YGOPS can put their fears to rest. I will never again impede their mad rush to the coffee cups. It's interesting to note that Congressmen O'Konski and Laird refused to affirm or deny Jerry Menzel's assertion that:. "It certainly should be the privilege of a private organization to withhold anyone who is distasteful to the group". The reason should be obvious as the "private" group in question carries the Republican label. Messrs. Laird and O'Konski did not want to be placed in the embarrassing position of denying the public the ·right to attend meetings sponsored by Republicans. The position Mr. Menzel asked them to take would certainly not endear these gentlemen to the hearts of their constituents. In the 13 January 1958 edition of the Capital Times; Ron May, Washington correspondent for the Madison newspaper reported that Congressman O'Konski "disapproved of the recent barring of young Democrats from his talk at a Republican meeting at Stevens Point Teachers College." The complete text of the O'Konski statement reads as follows: "IF I HAD KNOWN WHAT WAS GOING ON, I WOULD NOT HAVE XEPT THEM OUT. THE REPUBLICANS ARE FOOLISH TO DO A THING LIKE THAT. THEY • SHOULD BE HAPPY EVERY TIME THEY CAN PRESENT THEIR MESSAGE TO PEOPLE FROM THE OTHER PARTY. WHAT GOOD DOES IT DO TO TALK TO PEOPLE WHO ALREADY ARE ON YOUR SIDE?" I believe that it can be inferred that Representative O'Konski had heard from Mr. Menzel by the time this interview occurred. Perhaps Mr. Davis and Mr. Menzel. should write to Mr. O'Konski and find out. If anyone is guilty of mis-representing "facts" in this controversy, I'm afraid ·t he honors would have to go to Mr. Menzel. Jerry probably didn't misrepresent the "facts" intentionally in his 16 December 1957 letter to the Capital Times which contained this statement: "Mr. Nordlander was refused admittance to the meeting from his past ACTIONS at the group's MEETINGS." This statement conveyed the false impression that I was habitually attending Republican meetings held on this campus in order to cause trouble. Mr. Menzel included Don Werth in his specification of charges published in the 9 December 1957 edition of the STEVENS POINT JOURNAL. Jerry writes as follows: "THEY continually held the floor and continually asked questions. THEIR actions brought protest • . ." Don Werth didn't ask any questions at the Laird meeting. A lecture delivered by Mr. Davis for the benefit of Mr. Menzel concerning the veracity of some of his statements might be in order. Before the charge of "character assassain" is again hurled my way, permit me to say that I believe Jerry blundered into the language he used. I don't believe that he really wanted to deceive the students of Central State College and the general public. I want to apologize for the length of this letter. Yet the fact and opinion presented should give the stu~ dents of Central State some perspective concerning the controversy under discussion. Sincerely yours, BOB NORLANDER P.S.

He is now thirty-six years old. The year 1958 marks the fourth full year that he has been an English instructor at Central State College.

Tau Gamma Beta Banquet Tau Gamma Beta sorority held its annual banquet before the Intersorority Formal at the Coral Room of the Hot Fish Shop. Approximately 20 Tau Gams and their · escorts attended along with faculty guests: Before dinner a quartet composed of Joyce Schlottman, Sue Mills, Donna Sanks, and Karen Beebe sang "Moments to Remember." Barbara Bablitch, toastmistress, introduced Pauline Ainsworth, president of Tau Gamma Beta, who wel.comed the guests. A resume of the various activities of the sorority members was given by Mrs. Kerst, their advisor. Barbara Stoleson followed with a humorous declamation about "Eloise." Guest speaker for the evening was Mr. Yambert who cleverly discussed a very complicated theory· of a socalled former professor of his. To close the program Louanne Simonson and Bill BJlcher gave short talks. Special guests present were Mr. and Mrs. Yambert, Mr. and Mrs Kerst, Mr. and Mrs. Lewis, Mr. and Mrs. Schuler and Mr. and Mrs. Wievel. Western Theme Prevails at the Alpha Sig Dinner FAMILIAR FACES Jean Gatzke Jean Gatzke is the girl who almost four years ago came to esc to prove to her mother and her high school home ec. teacher that she wouldn't like it here, and that college just wasn't for her. But now Jean admits she really loves it here. A senior home ec. student, Jean. is looking forward to her four weeks of practJ.ce teaching off campus during April at Omro, near her home town of Berlin. She has already taught the Campus School 7th and 8th grade boys sewing, cooking and first aid; and the Emerson 7th grade girls sewing. Jean's college activities and honors include being president, vice president and secretary of the Home Ec. Club; secretary-treasurer of the College Club Section of the Wisconsin Home Economics Association; attending many home economics conventions; press representative and member of Gamma Delta; a member of Sigma Zeta, honorary science club; member of Tau Gamma Beta sorority. She also received a $100 scholarship from the Wisconsin Home Ec. Assoc. Jean worked for her On Saturday evening, February 1, Alpha Sigma Al]:1ha held its Intersorority dinner at the Sky Club. Mistress-of-ceremonies, Jan Duranceau, introduced the faculty members present. President Allene Grimm extended a welcome to the faculty, advisors, and patronesses, and to the girls and their dates. A note of humor was added to the evening as Evelyn Smyth gave an impression of Inter-sorority from the girl's point of view. The main speaker for the evening was Dr. Frank Crow of the college faculty. The theme of his talk was "As You Journey Through Life, Live by the Way". He emphasized the importance of "living 3 6 5 , days a year." The program was closed as everyone joined hands while "The Hymn to Alpha Sigma Jean Gatzke Alpha" was sung. The theme of the dance, "Twilight room and board at first, a nd during on the Desert" , was carried out that time served as the r epr esentathrough the table decorations.

Ratting with Rufus At long last the great burden has been lifted, but don't forget to come aroun,d to the same station at approximately or ultimately the same time come June of '58. I've heard quite a few gripes that semester tests could just as w ell be exterminated from our curriculum, but then just think of the fun of cramming we'd miss. A problem each of us has faced is the fun-filled two days of registration. It surely looked like a good crowd turned out to see the show, but I bet many of them were ready to turn in when they got through. It certainly made my heart bound with joy to be able to stand in the long lines until we finally got through the first door. Then some wise professor asked how many class slips you had; you answered, 'one," and he said the rest of the classess are filled. That's gratitude ! They certainly weren't too badly in need of money this semester, especially mine. I had a whole fist full of newly-printed (in fact, wet yet) bright green genuine dough to give them, and then they slammed the door in my face, even though I trie d to get under it, and said, "come back some other time." I figured if they didn't want it, I wouldn't give it to anybody. What I can't understand is why there's a great big sign at the door that says "PAY FEES HERE" and then there's not a sole outside the door to take them. Well, I finally got through that Rat-race at 4 :2 9 on Tuesday. With a minute to, pick up my books, I bet I got my tail stepped on about 20 times per second. Then none of the proper books we re left. Instead I was told to take about 30 diffe r ent ones to read in the meantime. Nobody wants you to have leisure time!

The meet was held in the training school gym on Saturday afternoon, January 25, at 1:30 P.M. De Lozier at 123 lbs. of Winona pinned Beryl Pascavis of CSC in 4:25 to take a 5-0 lead over the Pointers. The Pointers were unable to field a 130 pound wrestler and Tull of Winona won on a forfeit making it 10 to 0. Charles Wittenberg then dropped a 5-0 decision to Johnson of Winona, to make the team score Winona 13 and Point 0. At 147, Sanderson of Winona decisioned Andreys Mezmalis by a close score of 3-2. From here on it was a different story. Hank Yetter of Point pinned Bernhard Tipper of Winona in 8: 13 to make the team score 16-5. This made Yetter's record for the season thus far 6 wins against only one loss. Winona then went into a stall in the last three matches to keep from getting pinned, and giving the Pointers only 3 points per match for a decision instead of 5 for a pin. Jack Blosser decisioned Lunberg of Winona by a 13-0 score and this made the team score 16-8. Blosser has 5 straight wins this season at 167 pounds. "Nifty" Butch Sorenson decisioned La Vern Tiper of Winona at 177 lbs. by a 3-0 margin . Tiper went into a shell to keep Sorenson from pinning him. The team score was 16-11. Norm Dorn, a Pointer heavyweight, won a 6-0 decision over McCarthney of Winona to make the final team score 16-14 in Winona's favor. Dorn's season record is 5 wins and one loss.

I The Falcons Nipped Us The River Falls Falcons nipped CSC 67 to 62 Friday, January 17. It was a close gam e all the way with both teams putting up a stiff defense. Griff owell, the Falcon's 6- 3 cent e r, poured in 27 counters on eleven field goals and five out. of six free throws. Guards J ack Krull and Fritz Kestley led esc in scoring with 15 points apiece. LaVern Luebstorf added 13, and Lee Srpda chipped in another 12. Coach Quandt said that the boys were really battling and that he couldn't ask for any more than that. The cagers of CSC lost their second conference game of the season in a hard fought battle at Platteville, January 25th. The Pioneers pulled out to a 165 lead but with nine minutes to go in the half the Pointers had closed the gap to 19-18, but Schroeder, guard Don· Gruber, and forward Fred Zamzow started and the Pioneers had a 44-31 halftime advantage. The Pioneers held the same advantage through the early stages of the second half until Sammy Sampson hit on four straight shots to cu t the margin to 57-50. With 5:40 remaining, Jack Krull and LaVern Luebstorf hit to pull the Pointers within 5 points at 7 3-6 8. The Pioneers and Pointers traded baskets during the next minute but then the Pioneers hit for eight straight points to ice the game. The Pointers lost despite shooting .500 percent in the second half on 19 of 38 and out rebounding the Pioneers 24-22.

Medical School Candidates Advised to Take MCAT if Enterins SchClol Seorr Candidates for admission to meet• ical school in the fall of 19&9' are advised to take the Medical College Admission Test in May, It was announced today by Educational Testing Service, which prepares and administers the test for the Association of American Medical Colleges. These tests, required of applicants by almost every medical college throughout the country, will be liven twice during the current calendar year. Candidates taking the May _test, however, will be able to furnish scores to institutions in early fall, when many medical colleges begin the selection of their next entering class. Candidates may take the MOAT on Saturday, May 3, 19&8, or on Tuesday, October 28, at administrations to be held at more than 300 local centers in all parts of the country. The Association of American Medical Colleges recommends that candidates for admission to classes starting in the fall of 19 59 take the May test. The MCAT consists of tests of general scholastic ability, a test on understanding of modern society, and an achievement test in science. According to ETS, no special preparation other than a review of science subjects is necessary. .All questions are of the objective type. Copies of the Bulletin of Information (with application form bound in), which gives details of registration and administration, as well as sample questions, are available directly from Educational Testing Service, 20 Nassau Street, Princeton, New Jersey.

To our illustrious comrades who have graduated, we wish Bon Voyage, to those who have left for other reasons, we wish Bon Forage. Life isn't really so bad in the ranks of the proletariat. Siasefi average grade point set a new record. Our latest commnniqne from Cape Cannibal, Florida, reports that the failure of the Siasefi rocket to blast off on schedule was due to the fact that no one had a dry match. The field team has been holding nightly meetings to determine the precautions necessary to obliviate a second occurence of this nature. The copper tubing problem has been licked, and the Miami Beach fuel tests gave satisfactory results except for some wicked after-effects on the handlers, but these cleared up completely after several hours of complete rest and quiet. One pint of the final fuel reportedly produced enough energy to keep one 160 pound experimenter off the ground for several hours. At our last meeting before the great mid-year Armageddon, elections were held with the following results: President; "Honest" Rich Marko, vice-president; LeRoy "Behind the Scenes" ·Bidgood, secretary; Don "T.S. Elliot" Harrington, and treasurer; Jerry "Dave Beck" Kudla. The job of writing this also changed hands. This .writer will strive to maintain the high standards of his predecessor, Jerry Kudla. Plans were made for the gala social event . of the year, the Siasefi Snowball. It is to be held ·at the first opportune time at the first available _ place. Immediately after the meeting, the new president set out on a round-theworld tour to check on the international situation first )land and to see about the possibility of opening a new chapter in Bangkok. One of the first acts of the new administration was a resolution to make the wealth of information contained in the minds of the members available to everyone. Watch the Siasefi bulletin board for the Tip of the Week. Helpful hints on .etiquette, personal hygience, tips to sportsmen, etc, will appear there regularly. In keeping with this policy, a "doit-yourself" department is being instituted in this column. Secrets given here will make untold savings possible to the financially hard-pressed student. For the girls we offer the following perfume recipe: Take one ounce of oil of lavender and bergamot, 1 pint of rectified spirits of wine, 4 cloves bruised. Shake the above well, let it stand a month, then add ~ ounces of distilled water, and 1 scruple of essence of ambergris. This mixture is guaranteed to permeate the atmosphere for hours. Modern Education Via Classrooms Abroad Two groups of twenty selected American college students will visit Berlin, Germany and Grenoble, France next summer to study the language, culture, art, and civilization of Germany or France during a six-week stay. Both groups will undergo intensive language training during the boat trip. Graded classes in small sections of six to eight students each under the supervision of native professors will deal with the reading of classical and modern texts, the daily press, publications on contemporary problems, conversation and composition, pronunciation and grammar. Students will also hear lectures on history and meet with outstanding personalities. The Berlin group will have full auditing privileges at the Free University. A large number of courses is also offered at the University of Grenoble, attended during the summer term by over a thousand French and foreign students, and the Americans will be able to participate in all academic and social activities. A great danger of our educational system and of a so-called educated man is the danger of growing lopsided. What I mean is that there is an increased tendency to combine immense knowledge in one field with astounding ignorance in most other fields. A great scholar in history may know nothing whatsoever about the basic insights of modern physics. Whereas a brilliant physicist may be utterly blank when it comes to the e.bb and flow of ideas and nations. It has been said that "We learn more and more about less and less until we eventually know everything about practically nothing." Although we agree that this in general is deplorable, do we realize tliat it may be tragic in its effect upon the Christian faith of a college student? Often when a student enters college he is walking fairly straight. He doesn't know much about the faith of his Church, but he doesn't know much more about anything else either. He is well balanced, if uninformed. What happens during the subsequent four Years of college and possibly some graduate school? Now he knows a great deal about ichthyology or can explain· the difference between epistomology and ontology. He can confront the non-college man with obscure terminology. But he doesn't know anything more about the Christian faith of the Church than when he was the greenest freshman! In other words, he has one leg that is mighty long and and strong, but his spiritual leg has completely atrophied. Too many so-called educated men have considered their religious faith as an appendix. At one time it may have fulfilled a useful purpose but is now merely a source of irritation and infection. There is no balance in the man who has the "Now I lay me down to sleep" religion of a three-, year-old combined with the welltrained understanding of a scientist. What can be done about this situation? Students must realize that theology is a subject that is to be studied and that needs as much attention and is fully as important as, for example, trigonometry. There are countless books available that can help you examine your faith and find a real foundation for living. Unless a college student wants to .be a mental cripple, he should study (Yes, I said study!) the Holy Bible. To be an educated man is to be a man of large responsibility. You, a student, are trained to be a leader. It's just too bad when the result is a lopsided, limping leader! We are in need of men and women with a strong spiritual foundation to guiae us through the confusing days in which we live. Our greatest cultural lag is not in the realm of technology. It lies in the. realm of understanding the spiritual problems that confront man. Here is the area of greatest need - a need for teachers and scientists and economists who understand the Christian faith so profoundly that they can use their knowledge to the glory of God and the good of men. My plea is for this balanced man of education. Now is the time for you to give Members of Classrooms Abroad will live · with German and French families and will have ample opportunity to meet young people from student, religious, and political organizations. They will visit theatres, con~ certs, movies, operas, museums, libraries, factories, youth organizations, and other points of interest. Berlin, today perhaps the most interesting spot in Europe, also offers opportunities to visit refugee camps, the East Sector, the East Berlin university, and Potsdam. Grenoble, "the city with a mountain at the end of every street,'' is situated conveniently for excursions into the French and Swiss Alps, the Riviera and other beauty spots. The Berlin stay will be followed by a two-week tour of Germany, Austria, and Switzerland whereas the French group will travel through France, Switzerland, northern Italy, and Belgium. your faith an education, too!

Newman Club The Newman began its activities for the second semester last night with a meeting of the executive board. Next Thursday evening, February 13, the club will hold one of its regular meetings at the Pacelli High School cafeteria. For the exact time watch the Newman Club bulletin board on second floor. The main business of the meeting will be the ele.c tion of Miss Newmanite. The dollar dues for the' second semester will also be collected at the meeting. Miss Newmanite will reign as Valentine's Queen at the annual KC Newman Club dinner and dance, which will be held on Sunday, February 16. She will also be CSC's candidate for national Miss Newnianite at the National Newman Club convention next summer. All Catholic students are urged to attend these activities and become an active Newmanite. GAMMA DELTA NEWS At the January 9 meeting, a forward look was made into next semester. Number one among the coming activities is our participation in the Lakes Region's Project to raise funds for the Concordia Seminary in Nagarcoil, India and the new preparatory school in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Everyone will be working hard on this project to help our fellow students in other parts of the world to have better educational facilities. Second semester officers for Gamma Delta were electd at the January 30 meeting. They were installed in a candlelight ceremony at the same meeting. ·Elected as president was Wayne Schmidt. Vice president is Lynn Thalsdorf, while Anne Hanson is secretary, Marilyn Roth is treasurer, and Jane Trappe is press reporter. Jan ·Nottleman was selected as chapter projects chairman. Ann Zimmerman will assist her as co-chairman. Many of the members are looking forward to the Lakes Region Winter Camp, which is scheduled for February 14-16 at Houghton, Michigan. Winter sports, fun, and fellowship comprise the program for that weekend. Many of the state and private college chapters will be in attendance. r-----------------, SHOE Shippy Shoe Cosmetics Soda Fountain 111 Strongs !=============:%:J:Z~·.·.

Ode to English I've spoke American for quite some time And always tho't I was doing fine. Never had trouble talking to folks And some even understood my jokes. Got along fine with ail kinds and types From poor to rich I even gripes. Made some friends wherever I went And they figured out what I meant, Then came the day I went to college Tho't I could get a bit of knowledge. I was trying hard and doing my best Then came that damn diagnostic test. I sweated it out and I almost quit, My participle dangled and my infinitive split, My grammar was bad, my spelling poor, But my punctuation really made 'em sore. I finished the course - - it was no fun, I feel sorry for students in 101. But I'm happy now, I'm all through, Now, what the hell is this? 102? Terry Terhune During vacation between semesters, seven CSC students and Dr. Pauline Isaacson visited New York City. The students who took the trip were Barbara Bowen, Pat Pronz, .Jane Pichette, Mary Jo Buggs, Ken Wanserski, Tom Gruman, and John Lueck. When the students gathered in :Milwaukee, they found out that, because of the heavy snowfall, all all flights were cancelled. They finally decided to take a train to Chicago and try to get on a morning flight to New York. They got tick~ts on a mid-morning plane and sat all night at the airport waiting. Many cups of coffee were consumed! But, at last, they were on their way. They landed in New York in mid-afternoon. The main activity of the stay in New York was play-going. Not everyone went to the same plays, so collectively they saw a total of 13 plays. Some of the group saw "As you Like It" and 'The Brothers Karamazov" which are off Broadway. Broadway plays that they saw are "Look Homeward, Angel," "Long Days Journey into Night," Nude with Violin," "Time Remembered," with Helen Hayes, "Garden District," "The Rope Dancers," "New Girl in Town" which is enjoying its third year on Broadway, "The Music Man," "Look Back in Anger," "Two for the "Seesaw," and "The Dark at the Top of the Stairs." After "Long Days Journey into Night," the students were able to go back stage and talk with Frederick March who starred in the play. Mr. March is from Racine. He talked with the group about the play which has been playing for about 56 weeks. Another high-light of the trip was a visit to the training school of the American Theater Wing. The dramatics class they saw was under the direction of Uta Hagen who has been in movies and has been prominent on the stage. Miss Hagen is also a native of Wisconsin. The days were spent shopping and sight seeing. Some of the places they visited were the Museum of Modern Art, the United Nations, St. Patrick's Cathedral, the Empire State Building, Was4ington Square, Greenwich Village, Central Park, and Radio City Music Hall. · Barbara and Mary Jo report that they spent much of their time lost . · They even got lost in the Metropolitan Musuem of Art. No matter which way they turned, they seemed to end up in a room displaying arms and armor. Finally a guard who probably understood their predicament, politely showed them their way to the stairs to the next floor. From there they managed to find their way out of the building. The others in the group also had their share of "mishaps." T;..ey arrived at the Staten Island Ferry docks just as the last ferry pul~ed away. Despite, and perhaps partly because of such "goings-on", all seven of the students agree that a better time could scarcely have been had.
