Field House Plans Look Hopeful for '59 Basketball Season If all goes according to schedule, our 1959-60 basketball season will be played in the new field house, according to Coach Hale Quandt. The corner of Fourth Avenue and Reserve will be the location for the field house, and construction should begin in July and take fourteen or fifteen months. A fireplace, television, leather upholstered furniture, trophies, and team pictures will be found in the trophy room and lounge, located to the right of the southfacing entrance. To the left will be the concession stand for use during ball games, a check room, five offices, and three classrooms. There will be room for two basketball courts and 2400 spectators in the 108 by 120 foot gymnasium, reached by going straight ahead at the main entrance. To the west of this gym is planned an auxiliary gymnasium, to be used chiefly by the women's physical education classes, and occasionally men's classes will also be conducted here. The auxiliary gym will measure 4 2 by 7 5 feet. It will contain no bleachers, but some apparatus will be kept there. Handball courts, to be used also for wrestling and tennis practice, are to be found on both ends of the auxiliary gym. A 30 by 75 foot pool (regulation size), with balcony and bleachers for spectators, will be located west of the auxiliary gym. Attached to the north side of the building will be an annex, a 120 by 60 foot unheated room with a dirt floor. This room will provide practice space for the varsity football, baseball, tennis, golf, and track teams in bad weath~r. There will be room for a 15-lap mlle track. Mr. Quandt says other things they would have liked to have included were sacrificed to obtain this annex, which he feels is very important, especially in this climate. In the basement will be found the dressing room, a laundry room, and an 11 by 22 foot projection room. For the women a faculty dressing room, showers, hair dryers, lavatory and a women's phy. ed. dressing room are planned. The latter dressing room will contain 640 baskets for gym uniforms and equipment. Air will be forced through the room at night to dry the contents of the baskets. Combination locks on the baskets may be transfered to the doors of the 100 lockers while the girls are in the gym. The plans for the men wil be similar with the exception that there will be 960 baskets and 60 lockers in the men's dressing room. Visiting teams will find a 30 by 15 foot dressing room, with 40 lockers, awaiting them. Our varsity locker room will contain 90 lockers, a training room, a storage room for offseason equipment, 90 hangers for in-season equipment, showers, drying room, and lavatory. A rather novel feature will be the "chute" under the first floor, on the same level and connecting 'the annex. Here dashes may be started, the track team may jump hurdles, a golf driving range, archery and rifle range, and a baseball batting cage will be situated. Coach Quandt is already looking forward to the move with anticipation, and the advantages of all the new facilities will be enjoyed by the students here in September or October of 1959. Glee Clubs and Choir to Present "Messiah" On Wednesday, May 14, the combined Girl's Glee Club, Men's Glee Club and Choir will present Handel's "Messiah" in the auditorium. The Chorus will include more then 100 students. Lorretta Anderson of Wausau will sing the soprano solo, Mrs. Martin Rassou of Wausau will sing the alto solo, and Mr. Moore of the esc faculty will sing bass. Many people have the misconception that the "Messiah" is a Christmas piece. This is not true, the "Messiah" consists of three parts: 'the Christmas or advent and birth; the Easter or life and death; and the Ascention or heavenly life. Almost all of the "Messiah" will be sung. The concert should prove to be very interesting and enjoyable. New Alpha Sig Actives Feted Upon Membership Alpha Sigma Alpha formally received twelve new girls into active membership in a ceremony, Saturday, April 26, at the home of Mrs. Nels Reppen. Both actives and pledges wore white for the occasion, as is traditional. The new members are: Rosalyn Barbian, Lodi; Irene Chen, · Hong Kong; Margaret Epple, Stevens Point; Jacqueline Fritsch, Withee; Sylvia Groshek, Wittenberg; Carol Heinrich, Wausau; Ann Held, Slinger; Joan Pautz, Wausau; Judy Ungrodt, Medford; Elaine Searl, Stevens Point; Shirley Smith, Portage~ and Sandra Steelman, Chicago. The Initiation Banquet was held later that evening at the Hot Fish Shop. Mrs. Elizabeth Pfiffner, Dean of Women, was guest speaker. Valerie Herman acted as toastmistress for the occasion. The travelling scholarship-locket, which is awarded to the pledge with the highest grade-point avetage, was presented to Jacqueline Fritsch. Honorable mention went to Irene Chen. The decorations further developed the Southern theme that has been carried out all through the pledge season. General chairman of the banquet was Diane Mauel. Committee chairmen were Rosie Lee, dinner reservations; Helen Matsuoka, Invitations; Rosie Opichka, table decorations; Jan Duranceau, place ·cards; Helen Nowicki, program; and Allene Grimm, transportation. Initiation was the climax of seven weeks of activity during which the pledges have been working diligently at those things that would best prepare them for sorority membership. The final week of pledging, known as "Help Week" found the pledges busy with many projects where they could be of service. The pledges visited the hospital and delivered scrapbooks which they had compiled of everything from pictures of brides to their favorite humor in the hope of cheering someone's day. Babysitting was done free of charge for college students and faculty. At least one job was required for each pledge. They cleaned the sorority locker, hemmed the tablecloth, and polished the sorority silver. Out-dated signs and posters were removed from the halls. The pledges checked and straightened the membership files and contracted past members for additional material to be added to the records. Envelopes were stuffed and addressed for the Mental Health Association on Friday. Omegs Climax Pledging Season at the Antlers Omega Mu Chi sorority held its initiation dinner at the Antlers, Sunday evening, April 27. Mary Jo Buggs, toastmistress for the evening, introduced Helen Lewis who was the Senior speaker. Helen spoke on the memories of sorority life. Janie Trappe, pledge president, spoke for her pledge class. The pledges presented the pledge-mistress, Donna Mueller, with a gift. Sue Rezin, holder of the runnerup scholarship pin, presented the pin to this year's winner, Louise Rasmussen. Rebecca Colligan, holder of the high scholarship pin, announced Beverly Beer as the girl in the pledge class who had the highest scholastic average. Marney Bierman sang "Tammy" and "Angry," accompanied by Louise Vrobel. The latter selection was dedicated to the new actives. Miss Ethel Hill appeared as the main speaker. Her topic was "Friendship." Prior to the dinner, thirteen girls were initiated into the sorority in a candle-light ceremony at the Home Management House. The initiation ceremony was conducted by President Helen Lewis assisted by Vice-President Donna Mueller; Secretary Sue Rezin; and Susie Yach, chaplin. New actives of the sorority are: Angel Collard, Beverly Beer, Marilyn Lu Maye, Louise Rasmussen, Mary Krasny, Sue Rulseh, Penny Maahs, Caryl Erickson, Bette Charnecki, Mary Ellen Lemancik, Lori Telllock, Jayroe Nehring, and Janie Trappe. Guests at the dinner were Miss Hill, Mrs. Mary Sampter, Mrs. Albert Harris, Miss Bertha Glennon, Mrs. Alice Blodgett, Miss Edna Nyquist, and Miss Doris Davis. "Daughters of Destiny" On May 1 and 2, the Library Theatre will present the second in the International Film Series of six films. A Franco-Italian production, "Daughters of Destiny" tells the effect of war on women in three separate stories. The three, ELIZABETH, JEANNE, AND L YSISTRATA, range from tragedy, to drama, to coedy. ELIZABETH stars Claudette Colbert as an American war widow, seeking her husband's grave in Italy and concerns what she discovers there. JEANNE is an outstanding piece due to the superb acting of Michele Morgan, as Joan of Arc, under the direction of jean Delannony, both remembered for the SYMPHONIE PASTORALE. Martine Carol, publicized French actress, interprets LYSISTRATA in this comedy relating how the women of Athens plotted to end the war with Sparta and thus bring their husbands home. Showing will be at 4: 3 0, 6: 30, and 8:30, Thursday and Friday. Admission, since the series is no longer supported by · the activity fund, will be 2 5 cents for students at the matinee, and 40 cents for the evening performances. Adult tickets are 50 cents and children, 15 cents. Phi Sigma Epsilon fraternity is in the middle of their pledge season. Norm Dorn himself busily rolling a tire around campus.

THE POINTER 2 Lettets To The Editor Dear Sir: I liave been in two different colleges, before I came to Central State. DurinJ three years of my college life, I have not seen a student body so disinterested in school activities, as in this college at Stevens Point. I am not only referring to the social activities, but also to participation of the student body in the activities related to the political and parliamentary procedures. The social activities of the student body, except for some sororities and fraternities, are limited to drinking on Tuesday and Thursday nights in one of the many places well known to the majority of the student body. In the elections for the homecoming queen, one of the biggest affairs on campus, only 2 5 % of the student body voted. Now that the spring elections are nearing, it would be expected to see students campaigning for their candidates for one of the many offices, but unfortunately there are no signs of such things. I am running for the office of the student council representative from the junior class. For this purpose I printed some campaign literature and have distributed the papers in the mail boxes available for the students. Much to my surprise, I found a number of the said papers in my own mail box, which I never put there. Apparently some gentleman or lady does not like the idea of campaigning before election, ari.d has said so. I thought it to be . rather nice if the student body made a note of this, and perhaps show a little more interest in the things happening at school, socially and academicallly. Cordia.lly Yours, Jamshid Soulati Sentimental Over Mother Mother's Day is one of the newer holidays in our country and it falls on the second Sunday in May. As far as we know the first move for public and national recognition of a Mother's Day was made in South Bend, Indiana, when Frank E. Hering proposed the idea to the members of the local Eagles Lodge. In 1908, Philadelphia had a citywide observance of the day, and in 1914 President Wilson issued a proclamation ordering flags flown from all government buildings to honor the mothers of America. So as the calendar turns to May 11, this year, our minds turn automatically to Mother. Francis Ledwidge put some thoughts nicely into this poem, My Mother. God made my mother on an April day, From sorrow and the mist along the sea, List birds' and wanderers' songs and ocean spray, And the moon loved her wandering jealously. Besides the ocean's din she combed her hair, Singing the nocturne of the passing ships, Before her earthly lover found her there An\1 kissed away the music from her lips. She came unto the hills and saw the change That brings the swallow and the geese in turns. But there was not a grief she deemed strange, For there is that in her which always mourns. Kind heart she has for all on hill or wave Whose hopes grew wings like ants to fly away. I bless the God Who such a mother gave. This poor bird-hearted singer of a day. The Cold War · and The Curriculum (This is an original oration written by David Mantik of Gleason, Wisconsin, for the high school forensic contest. Dr. Guy Gibson has submitted it for publication, feeling it is valuable reading for every American student and educator Editor's Note) X-10 . . . x-5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0, blastoff! And it did. On October 4th of last year, Russia blazed across the terrestial skies, its scientific achievemerits. It was in a universal language, and an undeniable one. It was an open fact for the whole world to see. Americans, confident of their leadership in everything from basketball to high-energy physics, were suddenly shocked out of their lethargy. Authorities have said it provided the stimulus for the American public. But do you honestly want to come down to soil level and do some hard work? Of course, if we don't we may as well surrender all pretense of freedom because Communists do not believe in weak democracies - it is either an irresistible defense or Communist domination. But for those who do want to work, who really want America to lead the world, there is something that all of us can do. Only a few years ago Russia was an illiterate country. But they built an educational system which at present turns out twice as many scientists and engineers as our system. It is this that determines in our modern world whether a nation shall exist or whether it shall not. We must meet the Red challenge, not by copying their rigid, dictatorial system, but by developing our own democratic system to the fullest extent. Here are some suggestions, which if followed could with reasonable certainty give us a firm grip on first place. Our whole system must be remodeled. Its direction must be changed. Our main goal at present seems to be one commonly termed life adjustment. It seeks to prepare our students to be socially competent. We replaced some of the fundamental subjects with others such as marriage and family, personality problems, dramatics, driver training, and consumer education. In fact, one educational commission suggested that as part of their work in history, the students study how the last war affected the dating pattern of our culture. But in event of war, which would win, a nation of skilled dancers or one that is militarily supplied with the latest scientific equipment? The whole object has been to make the subjects interesting and attractive, to make them easier so that everyone can pass them. And in college it matters not whether you study calculus, women's styles, or ancient architecture. Anyone can get a degree. But we have lost the primary objective of aH education - to train an individual to think for himself. We must have a nation whose citizens are able to think soundly about our numerous national problems. We ask ourselves, "Will this be learned with jukeboxes, movies, hotrods, proms, and television as training grounds?" The answer is obvious. The curriculum must be reconstructed. Since most of our secondary schools need to make this change, a national council of scholars could be set up. It would be their duty to determine the standard for a high school diploma and for the competence of teachers. Schools meeting these standards would be officially accredited. In all probability, schools that continued teaching life adjustment courses would not have time Published bi-weekly except holidays and examination periods, at Stevens Point, Wis., by the students of Wisconsin State College, llOO Main Street.

Then the communities, realizing their position, would correct the flaws that exist in our present system. Our educational program can easily be accelerated. Students can be arranged in classes according to their various abilities. For example, an outstanding math student would be in the fast-learning algebra group, but he might be in the medium group for English, and the slow group for French. In this way almost every student would be given a fair chance and the exceptional students would be able to progress at their own rates. Under our present system they are often held back since most of the class work is geared to the level of the average student. This system would enable the exceptional student to finish high school at age · 16 and would permit him to finish all of his education in 12 or 13 years. The average student would requite only about 14 years. Compare this to our present system where the minimum for an education through college is 16 years. Those students who did not plan to go to college ,would take all of the fundamental courses in their first years in high school. Then, in their last year, they would take the subjects necessary for their chosen vocation. This program would also help to solve another one of our educational problems. Studies indicate that in high school one out of every five students in the upper one fourth of their classes drop out of school. Further, among those who do graduate in the upper one fourth of their classes, more than one out of three do not go on to college. The reason that many of these quit is that their brains have been put to sleep. They have been held back so long to the level of the mediocre student that they have become bored. Their intellectual abilities have not been challenged and consequently they have no real interest in school. Divided classes, as discussed, would help to solve this problem. Another reason is not financial, but rather the woefully inadequate recognition. Is there any high school in the United States where the topranking scholar enjoys a fraction of the prestige of the football captain? If ou·r country really believes in training men to think, and it wants men of high mental calibre, why not see . to it that the highest rewards go to those who demonstrate this ability? An educational system which does not place a premium on intellectual achievement is simply anti-intellectual, and the same applies for the community, the state, and the nation itself. Once we realize this, we can begin utilizing the talent which is now going to waste in our own self-destruction. Our teachers, too, have suffered in the life adjustment program. The anti-intellectual point of view has been carriBd over into teacher training. Here the specialty is imparting the know-how of teaching the tricks of the trade. A mediocre student can load up on a vast number of courses which teach the techniques of teaching, and can enter the teaching profession knowing everything about teaching except the principles of the subject he professes to teach. For example, a recent survey disclosed that one fourth of the chemistry teachers and one third of the physics teachers had taken less than ten hours of training in the subject taught. Ten hours would be equivalent to an hour class meeting five times a week for one school year. And those teachers who did know their subjects and were zealous to impart their knowledge to the students have been severely criticized by the educationists. And if the teacher tried to get the students to do some hard work or had too ,many failures, he was called into the principal's office. Everything must be easy and Johnny must never know failure. As a result of this philosophy, he goes out into the world with a disastrous absence of the fundamental subjects and a feeling that no matter what he does, he can never know failure. The suggested national council of scholars would be able to correct this hazardous situation and also to set the standards for teacher training. But what can you do to help? Our modern high schools are in the hands 1 FAMILIAR FACES four years it seems strange think that soon she will be the alumni.

Pat says she knows share of the seniors will be graduate in June, but there be sadness to mingle with ness for many of them will separate jobs and live school and friends. "You college is like a road. You to walk it to find where it taking the bumps and stones as a part of it, and the end is what yoQ make it!" All of the best to Pat's teaching future and her role as Mrs. Curry! Pat Reading Pat Reading is a senior in Intermediate Education and this issue's familiar face. She was born June 21, 19 3 6, in Stevens Point and has resided here all her life. Her family includes her mother and father, sister Nancy, who is a senior at P. J. Jacobs, brother Bill, a freshman at Pacelli, and a brother, Tim in seventh grade. P. J. Jacobs is Pat's alma mater from · which she graduated June 3, 1954. While attending high school she was active in various activities including, Red and Black Club vice~ president, Junior and Senior Play, Latin Club, Tattler Staff, Dramatic Club, and the school newspaper staff. The high school incident which is foremost in Pat's mind was told this way: "Our 1954 basketball team was headed for state tournament and so were we - but not without a few tears ·and laughs shed many times on the way. One game, especially, stands out in my mind. The last game that was to determine whether we would go state. The score was close and in the closing seconds we were all on our feet all except one. We won by three points and I turned to say something to the girl next to me only to find she wasn't there. Unfortunately, the excitement was too much and we found her on the floor between the bleachers she forgot to take a step. But she recovered and so did we and with all our support and good playing on the part of our team we won at state." Pat started out in the field of Medical Technology but after a year and a half decided that she would like to work with c:;hildren and what better way is there but teaching? College experiences for Pat have been many and varied and also very much fun, but sorority pledging was the most, how should I say it? "Oh, how do you do Miss gosh, forgot her name Oh, well 15 2 % buttons aren't bad, if I stay up all night and cut two classes I may get them sewed on by the next meeting." However, every minute of it was enjoyed and it is certainly something that Pat recalls vividly and remains outstanding in her college period. College activities for Pat consisted of her sorority, Tau Gamma Beta Inter-Sorority Representative, Newman Club, aand Round Table Vice President. Her hobbies are football (?), dancing, water-skiing, reading, eating at root-beer stands, and working at Hannon's Drugs. First and foremost in Pat's future is becoming Mrs. Thomas L. Curry on May 31, 1958. Next year teaching at Biron near Wisconsin Rapids, Pat with have the fifth grade in a new school with twenty-seven children in her class. She will also be a staunch supporter of a certain football team come fall. Now that Pat has completed her of the local communities who finance them. What they do or do not do is up to them. What the schools are is what the school boards make them, and the school board is the public. What we must do is to identify the best in local leadership and get them to serve on the school board and leave them there until they have had time to formulate an effective school policy. And you as a citizen and as a member of the PTA can speak up and see to it that your school's standards and curriculum meet the stern demands of our era. Then, we can expect to maintain that ever-so-important defense. Jerry Drake Jerry hails from Mosinee and is a graduate of Mosinee High School. Mr. Drake is twenty-three years old and is a CSC history major. His minors include geography an d physical education. While in high school Jerry participated mainly in the Hobby Club, Mixed Chorus, and Band. Jerry indicated that nothing too spectacular happened during his high school career, or at least nothing he cares to mention. Jerry has a great interest in history and his major was decided on from his liking and interest in the ancient world. Some of the most outstanding experiences of Jerry's college life are his interest in the football and basketball games, and the most challenging part of his years here has been the struggle to live on a very "sub-sistet" income - - - bare existance! College activities for this senior include Alphia Beta Rho and the "S" Club as well as his being Student Council Representative. Aside ~ from these activities Jerry makes hobbies of boating, swimming, fishing, and hiking. (I'm all "in" .. just typing it! ) Uncle Sam seems to be headliner in the future of Jerry, which he is looking forward to with anxious enthusiasm! I'm sure he'll make a good soldier by looking at hobbies. At least he shouldn't get worn out too easily! Jerry's feelings on leaving old CSC are thus, "I will be glad to get out and earn an income; but will miss the halls and "familiar faces." Just think of all the money he will make from his Uncle Sam. That's living! Jerry stated. "I'm like the Russians, I've been here on the five-year plan, having left once to work in order to come back." The familiar halls and faces that Jerry will miss will in return notice the lack of his presence from the hallowed halls and familiar faces.

Those who haven't returned their Lenten banks may return them to Joyce Thorson or any of the other officers. WESLEY W e s 1 e y Foundation held its monthly Sunday meeting on April 2 7. LSA were our guests for both the meeting and the supper. A worship service was held in the Chapel of the Methodist Church after the meal. When the service was over, all present plus a few late arrivals returned to Wesley Hall to view a film entitled "One God: The Ways We Worship Him." The film covered the main parts of worship of the Jewish, Roman Catholic, and the Protestant Church groups. All who attended this showing will agree that it was one of the most informative thirty minutes that they have attended. Wesley Foundation and the group from LSA will both agree that "a good time was had by all," but I would like to pose a question: where was Wesley? The Wesley Calendar is rather full for the remainder of the school year. The next thing other than the weekly choir rehersals, Bible Study, the bi-weekly appearancEJS of the choir and cabinet, is the May 8th meeting. At this meeting will be heard a pair of Missionaries of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, or the Mormon Church. Next in line is the Inter-Religious Group Picnic of the fifteenth of May. This will be held at Iverson Park and has the promise of being the biggest and the best ever. The Senior Banquet willl be held at the Church on the twenty-fifth of May to give the seniors the farewell of the underclassmen. This is the Wesley Foundation Calendar for the rest of the school year. You are invited, but will YOU be there?

Two CSC Students Attend Spring Wesley Conference On the weekend of the 18th, 19th, 20th of April, the Wisconsin Methodist Student Movement (MSM) held its spring conference at Kenwood Methodist church near the University of . Wisconsin-Milwaukee campus. LOis Fiedler and Wayne Baldwin from our local Wesley Foundation wer.e among the 130 students in attendance. The theme of the conference was "What in the World." Just returning from a trip around the globe, Reverend Claude Singleton Student Secretary of the Methodist Board of Missions and Director of M~M Camps, spoke on "The Church," ~nd "Your Life" as subtitles. "Order m the World- The New Moon and the Old Man" was the subject of Rev~rend Rodney Shaw, Midwest Regwnal Director of the United World Federalists. "The United States in the World" was brought to the attention of the students by Congressman Reuss of Milwaukee Outside of the informative and inspiring speeches, the students att~nded _interest groups, worship serVIces;" mterpretive dancing, and a Festival of Nations program with foreign students performing. A very .memorable event of the conference was the Memorial Service for Chuck B_axter. and Ginny Geer, who were killed m an auto-train accident in February while enroute to Stevens !'oint to attend a State MSM meetmg. The conference passed a resolution which is being sent to the MSM's across the nation and reads as follows: Resolved: That the Wisconsin Methodist Student Movement go on record as opposing the continued testing and manufacturing of nuclear weapons by the United States, and that the United States should work through the United Nations and_ any other means for the bilateral end~ng of the manufacturing and testrng of nuclear devices for purposes of War."

Homec_oming plans for '5 8 are already m the making. The excitement will start with the annual Quee~'s Dance followed by the selectwn of the Queen. . Of course, no homecoming would be co~plete without a parade with bea_u~Iful floats to. add to the competitwn. After the game, which we hope will be a celebration, next year, is the Homeoming Dance. If you are graduating don't forget the alumni-banquets for the sorori~ ties and fraternities. Bob Hanes, chairman, , says, "Our biggest problem will be to keep. the 'suitcase students' from going home that weekend." Assistant chairman will be Henry Trezeciak and the parade marshal will be Jim Freiman. Nelson Hall held its annual Formal Dance last Saturday evening. About couples attended .the dance. Carmen Lane provided the dance music. seventy It's All Over Now But it Was Worth ·it! By Marilyn Lu Maye Dear Mom, Well, it's finally over! Sororitv pledging I mean. As you know last Friday was Hell Day and it sure was. I thought you'd like to hear the details so here goes. Thursday night I crawled into bed at a friend's hou_se as it was closer to Iverson Park, our morning destination. At five o'clock we stumbled out of bed, grabbed our little red wagon full of gqodies and started on our long, cold journey to Iverson Park. Much to our dismay, we found two very important items missing, napkins and wood. After these things had been obtained and things were going smoothly, the actives pulled up in their warm cars and immediately began complaining about the breakfast preparations. Then, because they hated to see us standing around shivering, they subtly suggested we partake in a few warming up exercises. One hour later they were ready to leave and finding a soft part deep, deep down in their hearts, .offered us a ride back to school. ~ Well, we arrived back at school only to find that things weren't much better there. By glancing at the bulletin board we discovered we were to be carrying around such convenient items as raw eggs, bananas, candy, pledge paddles, pledge books, pennants, and the ever-present beanies. Perhaps the worst aspect of the day was the reminder that no words were to be passed with members of the opposite sex. Our theme song for the day - "Secretly." Except for an occasional splatch of an egg, the morning passed uneventfully. When the clock struck twelve, all pledges assembled in front of school and began playing such educational games as jack, peas porridge, ·and hopscotch with our fraternity brothers. Other than the fact that most of us gained a few hundred demerits, all survived. Before long we were appropriately dressed for an impossible scavenger hunt and a parade down Main Street. Imagine trying to find five chairs from the Mutt in Sputnik, a thimblefull of water from the Plover River woodticks, a man's garter, a live fly: a hubcap from a Ford car, and the footprint of Mr. Lewis' dog. It seemed we had no more than started our hunt when it was time to return practically empty-handed. Then it was time for the dreaded event, hazing, but at long last everyone had been subjected to a certain degree of torture including the swallowing of a raw egg and the night was drawing to a close. Then guess w_hat, Mom? Much to our surprise, we d~scovered the actives could really be mce. In fact, they proved this even more by entertaining us. Annual Nelson Hall Formal Follows the Theme of "April Love" The Nelson Hall Formal, an annual event sponsored by the girls from Nelson Hall, took place Saturday evening, April 26, in the Nelson Hall Cafeteria. "April Love" was the theme of the formal, and was appropriately brought out in the decorations. Carman Lane's orchestra provided the music for the seventy couples who attended. The dancers entered through a rosecovered arbor, into a spring time ~antasy, with soft lighting illuminatI~g the pale blue ceiling, from which Silver stars were suspended. On the mirror, a rainbow was reflecte~. and two vine-covered pillars ~tood m the middle of the floor, addmg to the garden-like effect. Placed around the floor were park benches ~ose-covered trellises, cherry trees m bloom, hedges, and a few birdbaths. To complete the spring night effect, murals of pussywillows trees butterflies, and various oth~r sea~ sonal paintings, covered the walls. The committee chairman for this event were as follows: advertising Gertrude Schweitzer; punch, Mar; Ann Pautz; decorations, Linda Wils?n; tickets, Jane Johnson; invitatwns, Alice Robley; and orchestra, Bev Brown and Judy Cepak.

Annie Active I A Field Trip for Seventh Graders To The Horicon Wildlife Refuge On Saturday, April 12th, a seventh grade science class of the Campus School went on a field trip to the Horicon Wildlife Refuge. Mr. James Bell, State Game Management official for the Wisconsin area of the refuge, conducted the morning tour. Our first stop was at the Memorial site located on a bluff on the southern end of the refuge. Mr. Bell outlined the history of the area. The bluffs on the east side of the marsh are the result of the last glacier that covered the area. The southern end of the marsh is an outwash plain. The Rock River flows through the marsh with the west branch flowing from Waupun and the east branch draining the area east of the marsh. When white men first came to the area, Indians were camping on the edge of the marsh. They gat,hered wild rice and captured the wildlife of the area. The first dam across the Rock River was erected about 1846 at the present site of Horicon. Various attempts to drain the marsh in the early 1900's and farm the land were mentioned. In 1914, a fourteen-mile long ditch was dug to drain the entire marsh. The attempts to crop the land failed because of inadequate drainage and the need for large amounts of fertilizer. In 1921 Mr. "Curley" Radke, a noted conservationalist; succeeded in getting various people and groups interested in establishing a game refuge in the area. The dam at Horicon was rebuilt in 1935. Today, the south one-third, or approximately 10,000 acres; is owned by the State of Wisconsin. The land was purchased by funds provided by the federal government through the Pittman-Robertson Act. This act provides for a federal excise tax of 11% on all hunting equipment sold. The north two-thirds, or approximately 20,000 acres, was purchased by the federal government with revenue received from the sale of the federal Migratory Waterfowl stamp. This yearly stamp is required of all waterfowl hunters over sixteen years of age and purchased from the Post ASA Pledges Shine "Sparkles and Spangles" was the theme of the Alpha Sigma Alpha spring tea which was held Tuesday, April 15, from 3:30 to 5:00 in the Home Economics Parlors. The tea is an annual affair wherein the Alpha Sig pledges honor their actives and the Tau Gamma Beta and Omega Mu Chi pledges. Sparkling name tags of red and white dotted with rhinestones, were in keeping with the the~e. A variety of tea sandwiches, nuts, mints, and coffee and tea were served. Receiving the guests were Miss Vivian Kellogg, advisor; Joan Pautz, pledge president; and Sylvia Groshek, pledge secretary-treasurer, Allene Grimm, Barbara Jenkins, and Dixie Blom presided at the tea table. Home Ec Club Freshmen Plan Senior Breakfast On Monday, April 14, the College Home Ec Club met for their regular meeting. Plans for the annal senior breakfast which will be held in May were made. The Freshman Home Ec · students will plan and prepare the breakfast honoring the home economics seniors. The next meeting of the club will be a picnic with the seniors in charge. The convention ot the Wisconsin Home Economics Association. which will be held April 25 and 26 at Green Lake was discussed. Several students and advisors plan to attend. After the meeting, Bev Cekosh spoke to the group on "The Perfect Silverware." Following this, the club was invited to a tea in the home economics parlors with Miss Doris Davis pouring and Rosalyn Lee chairman of the event. Thursday, April 17, the Home Ec Club was busy . with the luncheon and style show for the high school seniors interested in Home Economics. The theme for the event was "At a Sidewalk Cafe." The luncheon was held at the union for about severity-five people. The style show following the luncheon featured dresses made in the clothing classes and some of the latest chemise. styles. Office Department for $2 at the present time. Originally the stamp cost $1. Mr. Bell told of the variou's techniques used to keep the marsh in good condition and improve the area for waterfowl. These included controlled burning during January, February, and March to get rid of vegetation and to keep certain water areas open, the planting of food patches, and the planting of shrubs and trees to improve the habitat and give added protection for the waterfowl. The class crossed the marsh on the main five-mile dike which was constructed in 19 52 to aid in keeping the water level at the proper height in the federal part of the refuge. We recrossed the marsh by the Old Marsh Road and by State Highway No. '49' near the northern end of the refuge. An estimated 50,000 geese and 10,000 ducks consisting of mallards, pintails, shovellers, blackducks, and widgeons; were feeding in the marsh, resting on the higher ground, and flying to various feeding areas. Three whistling swans were observed on the main ditch north of Highway '49'. The late afternoon was spent observing numerous flocks of geese leaving for spring-picked corn fields outside the refuge. The geese return to the protection of the refuge at dusk. An ideal place to observe this activity is along Highway 49 where it intersects the northern part of the marsh. Mr. Bell said that practically all of the geese le~;tve the refuge for the ·Canadian nesting areas by April twentieth. The group was accompanied by Mr. John Barnes, Assistant Professor of the Biology Department at Wisconsin State College; Mrs. Joseph Pfiffner, supervising teac'her; Mr. Herbert Schotz and Mr. Russel Kostrzak, student teachers; Mr. C. M. Wright, parent representative; and Mr. Joseph Pfiffner. Young Dems Approve Censorship Resolution At a meeting held by the Young :Qemocrats of Central State College, Stevens Point, on April 2, the group approved a resolution concerning censorship. This was rejected by the Young Democrats of Wisconsin at the 1958 convention held in Stevens Point fro'hl March 28 through March 30. The resolution reads as follows: Whereas the Freedom of the indidual to read literature of his own selection is absolutely essential for the devellopment of an informed and intelligent electorate and; "Whereas certain pressure groups in our society are attempting to tell the American people what books and magazines they can and cannot read by threatening book sellers and magazine sellers with economic reprisals and; "Whereas the Young Democratic Club of Wisconsin refused to uphold the sentiments expressed in this resolution; "Be it hereby resolved by the Young Democrats of Central State College that they -re-affirm their opposition to censorship and all attempts to deny adult citizens of the state of Wisconsin access to information on any and all topics which may be of interest." A minority report was filed with the secretary by Glenn Zipp of Merrill which stated that he was opposed to censorship also. He contended, however, that the resolution should also have re-affirmed the right of organizations to impose 'censorship'. on its members. We, the dissenting minority, while agreeing in principle to the above resolution, question its phraseology, and wish to define our position: That a member or members of any given group has the right to try and persuade its' fellow members what they should or should not read, and its' members have the right to try and persaude, by a free exchange of ideas, non-members to adhere to their standards, but no group or individual (s) has the right to coerce an individual (s) to accept their standards, or to attempt to, or prevent, the process of production and distribution of any literature contrary to, or alinement with, their concepts. ~} Omega Mu Chi sorority presented a style show the Portage County Homemaker's Achievement Day program on Tuesday, April 29. Nona Martens modelled a 1920's flapper dress; Louise Rasmussen, a knit suit from the 1930's; Mary Krasny, a 1920 suit; Toni Walker, undergarments from the 1880's; and Joan Jeckle a wool suit from the 1940's. Styles were shown representative of the 1858-1958 period.

Four Pointers Pitch A No-Run No-Hit Game to Tip Lavvrence 2~0 Four CSC pitchers teamed up and pitched a no - hit no - run game against Lawrence last Saturday. The phchers had plenty of help from the esc batters as the score ended up 24-0. Paul Boehmer, Dave Roman, Jim Hoffman, and Bob Shofranski, besides pitching hitless ball, struck out twenty-four Lawrence batters in the nine innings. None of the pitchers were in trouble as they mowed down the Lawrence artillery men. The Pointers were never in need of any outside help as they pounded the opponents for twenty-seven hits. It was a display of power such as the Pointers haven't enjoyed . in a long time. Led by Dick Busse's home run in the fourth, esc smacked hits in all directions. Phil Cole headed the attack with six hits. Jack Krull had five hits and Leroy Ferris had three safties in six appearances. In general it was a pretty destructive afternoon, with Lawrence being destroyed and Point doing the destroying. The Pointers now have three victories against a single defeat. This sets the stage for a show down against Plattevillle Saturday afternoon at Bukolt Park. This will be a conference double-header. Pointers Place Fourth in Second Track Meet The Pointer trackmen • suffered their second set-back in as many starts as they managed only a fourth place in the quadrangular track meet held in Appleton on Saturday, April 26, at 1:30 p.m. Oshkosh, displaying surprising strength, captured the meet with 71lh points.

At each table was seated an authority in the field of children's dramatics, ineluding · the most laudable Miss Winnifred Ward.

Those were the words of Miss Nancy K. Trewyn, Whitewater, when asked about her reign as Wisconsin's 1957 Alice in Dairyland. As "Alice", Nancy works full time for the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture promoting the Badger State's famed agricultural products throughout the state and nation. "Every Wisconsin girl between 18 and 2 5 should enter this program for a really wonderful experience", Nancy said as she discussed the plans for the 19 58 Alice in Dairyland Princess Program which begins April 1. "My work as 'Alice' has taken me all over the nation. So far, I've probably traveled close to 100,000 miles to such cities as Miami, Florida; Memphis, Tennessee; Philadephia, Pa. ; Los Angeles, California ; Salt Lake City, Utah; Billings, Montana, 'and scores of others. It is hard, but wonderful work." blanks are available at local newspapers, radio and television stations, county agent and dairy plant offices. The main requirements are that girls must be at least 18 and not over 25 on April 30, 1958 and have been a resident of Wisconsin for at least one year", she pointed out. Musing over her ·experiences in last year's contest Nancy said, "It was exciting to go to the Regional contest and be interviewed. The Regional city was a wonderful host and treated us like queens with a luncheon, parade, banquet, and everything; and, when I was named as one of the two girls to represent mY' region at the state contest, I felt like I was walking on air." "The three other princesses from last year, Diane Zaborowski, Thorp; Janice Crane Manawa; and Beverly Thomas, Cobb; and I are looking forward to greeting and visiting with the entrants at the regional cities "As Alice," the list of people I next month.

This was the cry of five Central State College co-eds, Joan Jeckle, Mary Ann Hoppe, Rosella Braun, Marlene Hanke, and Mary Jo Buggs, who traveled to the Sunshine State during the Easter vacation. They were gone nine days, four of them being spent driving. Interesting litt],e experiences began almost immediately. When the girls got to the hotel in Fort Lauderdale in which they had reserved a suite, they discovered it was a "rat-trap." They didn't appreciate the beer can under the bed and spent the whole afternoon looking for more suitable accommodations. The motel they finally chose was across the highway from the ocean, and perfect for getting the suntans which they now possess. ;:::::::===========: STUDENTS1 HEADQUARTERS BERENS BARBER SHOP THREE BARBERS Call D14-3012 Finest in Fuel Oil Service Phone Dl 4-5360 WELCOME ALL STUDENTS WANTA'S Recreation Bowlin·g Alleys Phone OJ 4-9927 You are always welcome at ERV'S PURE OIL SERVICE WESTENBERGER'S DRUG ERV.
