THE POINTER
Sage. Advice from an Old S_age
Life at the ·Home
Management House Is
Quite an Experience
A hearty welcome is extended to all students that enrofied here
for the first time or who may have returned after a leave of absence from CSC: To the freshmen who enrolled for the first time
let us pass a word of advice along to help you through that first
semester. There is no substitute for hard work whether the work
is academic or extra-curricular. Of course the-academic work has
precedence in these matters. But "all work and no play" will make
Jack rather dull, so a little leisure mixed in with the work can cause
college life to be more pleasant.
Of course those of us who have been here for a long time can
also benefit by a little more work and a serious effort to raise that
grade point. Even though the grade point is healthy now, one
semester can make it extremely sick if it ·is not nourished constantly.

.Dear All,
Last Thursday a meeting of the
student council was called to order
~Y -the vice..p.resident, Diane Darling. (The president, who called the
meeting, was only a half-hour late.)
·By the time your president arrived
the situation was well in hand. A
committee, headed by Fred Schrader,
liad been appointed to provide something in the form of week-end entertainment. It was suggested that
a session comparable to the Tuesday
Hi-Fi sessions would be appropriate. The committee was to cooperate
with the social committee in filing
what is reportedly "the Friday night
lull" in the week-end. They have
higher plans but we'll let them surprise you 'if they can.
Judy Unirodt, the chairma-n of
the student information committee,
reported that mailboxes for new studenis would be located in the new
annex which you'll find leaning
against room 16 0. We also expect
that a check will be made so that
the names on the regular section of
the mailboxes will be brought up to
date. This should include adding
·» .ames that have been removed and
fixing the names somewhat · more
permanently.
A personnel change has been
made. The freshman representative
failed to register for the semester.
Pat Germann left two vacancies (at
least) as she was student council
treasurer also. The council decided
_to fill the first vacancy by appointing the second place vote-getter,
Carol Chrudimski. Dale Simonson
will take over as custodian of the
money problems.
I close this letter without a sermon on student apathy in regard to
their own affairs. This makes it
easier reading (I guess) and also
sho'r ter. If you need a sermon,
make. up one ; if you don't, quit
kidding yourself . .
Meeting adjourned.

Every semester that I have spent
~ot~e;:,ac:!~~. ~!~st:~~io::o~~bl:un-
here at Central State College, and
that now totals eight, I have spent
at least one half and in some cases
up to one full day, attempting to
register for classes. It was one of
the most disgusting and ineffecient
ways to test the prospective student
and his patience by forcing them to
waste time waiting in long lines for
hours, only to collect their books
and go home after a full day ordeal.
No matter who mentioned the word
registration it had nothing but connotations of something bad, waste·
ful, and was subject to endless
ridicule. ;Every student who has
ever attended this institution of
higher l~arning will agree with me
wholeheartedly.
We all hear about these and other
criticisms, but does anyone ever
take the 1time to give a •compliment
when it} is due? It's
good policy
to be critical, but don't forget that
there also is the other alternative
of. giving a compliment when it is
deserved .
This brings us to the crux of
this letter and that concerns the
registration procedure this semester.
I can say in all sincerity that the
administration and registration committees deserve medals tor the "out·
standing and meritorious services"
in speeding up registration. It took
only about one and one half hours
to get all the way through the "activities."
Congratulations to Mr Faust and
the person or persons responsible
for it! A long overdue improvement
has finally been made!
Other students may find numerous areas of criticism but my policy
of giving1 credit where credit is due
is only fair and just, I believe.
Keep up the good work'!
Yours truly,

SUE REZJN
"Zippety Du Dah," "Beautiful Brown Eyes," "I'm Glad I'm A Girl,"
- these are just a few of the bouncey, lively tunes that characterize Sue
Rezin, our CSC profile of the week.
Her high sch90l diQ'!i were "one big woosh" says Sue. Anyone who inquired into her 1husy whirl of activities at Lincoln
High in Wisconsin Rapids would find it hard not to second this.
One of her greatest interests appears to have been dramatics, as she
belonged both to the Dramatic club, and took part in the Senior Class
play. Her forensics and work as the news editor added to Sue's extracurricular activities, but she still found time to be president of the Student Council as a senior. Other groups claiming Sue as a member were
Pep club and Spanish club.
Then Sue came to CSC and began her ~tudy in the field of
education, with majors in English and French. She decided teach·
ing was not for her and secondary lost their aspirant to the division
of L and S. Now she plans to find a job in personnel. In case of a
depression Sue says she's willing to take on the part-time role of
taxicab driver.
1
Back in her early life at CSC, we find Sue at the dorm as a lowly
freshman determined to take it easy for a change, and not join every
organization. However, she did enter Girl's Glee club and went to
Canterbury meetings. These plus dormitory life with its midnight parties
made her first .year speed by.
As a sophomore, Sue was gradually weakening in her former resolution and becoming a joiner;" she pledged Omega ;Mu
Chi Sorority and from then on was an active member. Sue has
been secretary and vice-president and now president. Her most
fun in college, unbelievable as it sounds, was her pledge date.
Maybe that's why she enjoyed being pledge mistress this fall
and struggling through the whole procedure with the poor
pledges. ·
·
Her ·junior year was equally busy as she added InterSorority Council and the Iris staff to her schedule. Apparently
Sue enjoys the latter job as she's still dQing the copy work this
year. Sue was the past president of Inter-Sorority Cotlncil. She
does her best to liven up serious couples at formals.
For the past two summers, Sue was a waitress in Rapids
and found it stimulating work. Tllis summer should be even
better, though, as Sue is beginning to make plims for her wedding
to Frank Hill of Wisconsin Rapids.
It is almost time now for Sue's "Swan Song" at CSC, but we're
certain her future will be nothing but bright.

The laundress copes with such
problems as leaks in the elbow
beneath the laundry tubs which
need the expert adjustment of a
handyman. It is the job · of the
assistant cook to get up each
morning to prepare breakfast
which is served to all the family at 7 a.m. As Bev says, "It's
great to get up and see the city
· come alive!" The cook plans
the meals, buys the food, and,
with the assistance of her helper,
prepares the other meals but not
without difficulty at times. For
instance, when the downstairs
housekeeper, armed appropriately with wax and a buffer, .proceeds to wax the kitchen fioor
just as the cook is roasting her
meat, someone must give way.
The cook simply moves the elec·

simultaneously.
The upstairs housekeeper spoils
the girls by cleaning their rooms, and
the · hostess helps the others to enjoy this experience whether by means
of a popcorn party or entertaining
personal and professional guests.

wonderful to get two credits

Everyone gripes about where money ( espically his) is
going (especially this time of year) . I luive a suggestion about
where I'd like some of my esc fee money to go - and that's
toward supporting some of our faculty members in leaves of
absence for graduate or research work. -It is pretty hard for a
professor to scrape up enough money to finance himself and his
family while be works on his doctorate or writes his longplanned novel; and general scholarships are not abundant. Besides, it seems only right that a college and the students attending it should be willing to invest a little in the most basic of
their r esources - the professors.
The "NEA Journal" shows a beautiful bit of humor:, in the last
issue, when they relate the comment of a certain schoolteacher. She had
bee n asked whether she thought the "Journal" was of an appropriate
size, and whe ther it should be made larger or smaller. Emphatically she
replied that they should never change . the size of the magazin(l_, since it
fitted her bird cage perfectly.
I guess w e'r e safe on that issue, unless it's an awfully large bird
cage.
But then there are puppies . . . . .
I do have a few suggestions about <!urriculum changes in
state colleges . . . specifically our!;l. If all these changes were
put into effect, it would probably take five years to graduate,
but sometimes it does anyway.
Why isn't there a REQUIRED course in world history or
cultural history or something that would give the stude nt an
idea of the world outside of U.S. boundaries? And, for the
non-science studep.t, how about a required survey course in
science as such touching on methods applicable to all sciences, and bringing in bits of science you hit against every day.
I, for one, would like to listen to my radio while knowing bow
the darned thing works. And couldn't there b e more done in
the student-assistant field? The sciences are doing all right
with their lab aides, but in the languages and other liberal arts
subjects, surely the advanced students cou d be a help with the
beginning classes. Points to ponder.

Trigon got the second semester
off to a good start with a tobogganing party Thursday, January 29, at
Iverson park. The snow was better
for snowballs than for tobogganing
and consequently, a good, but snowy,
time was had by" all. A short business meeting and an election for
president, to fill the vacancy created when Nels Werner graduated
last semester, were held following
the tobogganing. Tom Keough was
chosen as president and Ellen Rehfeldt was appointed to the board.
The officers for this semester are
Tom n:eough, president; Carolyn
Holtz, vice-president; Emmy Millard,
secretary; Elise Werner, treasurer;
and Karen Francis and Ellen Rehfeldt in charge of bulletin board and
invitations respectively.

Last Wednesday, the members of
the Baptist college club on campus
vo~d to change the mune of their
organizatio:6. from Wayland Club to
Roger Williams Fellowship. . After
much thinking and discussing; they
came to the conclusion · that the
name Wayland Club actually had no
real significance other than the Wayland Foundation on the ·University
campus at Madison and the Wayland
Academy at Beaver Dam, Wisconsin.
So, since Roger Williams was the
first Baptist in America and a great
leader in the battle for freedom of
religion, they felt it would be well
to name their club in memory -of
and in tribute to him. Also, there
is a national Roger Williams Baptist
fellowship. trhe colleg,e club at Eau

named Roger Williams Fellowship.

Last semester may or may not
have been a pleasant one for you
depending upon your view point. If
it was inclined towards the social
aspect you probably were more than
pleased with the results as the
whirl of dances, partie,s, and other
events unfolded in your mind. However, if it was more in .a scholarly
vein you may have some very unpleasant memor'i es to relate. Though
I hate to be the one to bring up this
horrid unmentionable topic I feel
that I must. Grade Reports!
Somehow. I have gotten the feeling that some people around college
are dissatisfied with their semester
results. Of course this must be a
misunderstanding on my part - or
is it? Just what do you feel has
been the main cause for these lower
grades?
Jack McKenzie: "Many of the students have to work part time,
which means that these students
cannot put in the time required to
meet requirements demanded by the
faculty."
Joyce Thorson: "Life is a chain
r eaction. Extra curricular activities
lead to an over-abundance of social
life. Social life leads to lack of
study time. Lack of study time
leads to poor preparation for class.
Poor preparation for class leads to
low grades."
Frank ·D. Check: "I think I can
say, and we all can see that the
caliber of the present teachers in
the college has risen a great degree
in the past three or four ·years. This
is not the main cause of lower
grades, but it is a primary factor.
This college is finally becoming an
institution of 'higher learning' rather
than a catch-all for students."
Wyona Jeske : "A lot of classes
consist of unnecessary busy work
which takes up the students' time
which could be used on more constructive work."
Mr. Norman E. Keafs and Mr.
Joseph L. Schuler, Jr.: "Fewer of
the students are actually meeting
the standards for ' A' and 'B' students."
Mary Collins: "Over-indulgence in
social and extra-curricular activities,
I believe, is one of the chief reasm:is
for lower grades. As was once
pointed out in a Readers Digest quip
'A small amount of sand in an
oyster makes a pearl, but too much
kills the animal.' "

Now -
Here's the Point!
By Karen Francis
Our family has always kept bees. They're as ·much a part of our
way of living as the good honey they present to us at the close of summer.
Handling bees is a delicate and daring art, .r equiring the skill of a
surgeon, the patience of a saint, the tact of a diplomat, the perception
of a prophet, and courage, which is a special kind of knowledge that
God and bees understand.
Keeping bees is a love that is influenced by the heart with awe, pleasure, fulfillment, and never-ending delight only
a few of its many rewards.
After God created man, He took him aside and pointing to the
honeybee on a fragrant flower - sternly advised him, "Only so long as
you protect the property, provide the pasture, preserve the right, and
prolong the life of this speck of gold to the best of your ability - only
then shall you truly live in the land of milk and honey!" .
So, whenever I see the keeper of the bees carefully lift the
cover from the hive in the orchard, I like to ponder his every
move. Like a surgeon making an incision, the first shock is the
greatest. So, with a delicate w'biff of good, clean smoke wafted
over the cluster, the bees · are assured that a friend has come to
check their needs. And with the skill of a surgeon, he lifts the
frames - brown with bees - from the depths of the hive without crushing a single bee. For he knows that each bee is important to the whole.
He reveals utter patience ~ his minute examination. While bees
crawl all over his bare hands, he checks cells for new life, new honey,
and possible disease.
Tact is a natural part of his makeup; he has no need to know the
carefully kept secret between God and the bees. He thrills to the sight
of the golden honey glistening in the riewly made, six-sided cells he
has no need to know how it's made.
With his examination compl,eted, he has perceived a definite
knowledge of the future needs of the bees. He has learned his
lesson well, right from the bees themselves.
As he replaces the cover without a single bee crushed beneath its
weight: he has revealed a s.pecial kind of knowledge courage in
his patient, thoughtful handling of this cluster of complex energy. He
is completely unaware, I am sure, that one sting could mean death, for
he is interested only in the brotherhood of man and lfees. His is the
knowledge that bees are not broken-spirited, indolent, dependent
creatures. They are covetous of their rights, industrious, and independent.
The scenery on campus will create variHoneybees can be destroyed, but they can't be subdued.· They will work

George Bernard Shaw is a favorite in constant good standing with
m e. I suspect that one reason for this is his beautiful sense for the dramatic, combined with one of the alertest and most pointed intellects
ever to expound itself in a collection of three-act plays. But the acid
old inan with the beard 1 continues to prove his versatility to the masses
even after his death. Take his· music criticism for example.
I had never known that Shaw was a music critic - and I
scarcely stand alone on that bit of ignorance. But he was . . .
was ~e ever! In the 1880's he terrori:led London society with
blazing critiques of the musical inanities of the day, as well as
awarding a few laurels to the few noble souls deserving them.
His pen name was Como di Bassetto, since "I had to invent a
personality with something like a foreign title . . . and nobody
knew what a como di bassetto was." (It was the Italian version
of a rare English instrument called a basset horn.) And a
typical comment of his was·: "The greatest assistance the average
young lady musician can render to others is to stop."
This brings me around to tlie book. In making it, the Anchor people
have ,cooperatively collected some of the juiciest items of Shaw's music
criticism in a !15 cent paperback called Shaw on 1\lusic. I do not think
they did it primarily for the music major either. In fact, I think they
did it primarily for the musical kindergartener like me . . . the amateur
listener whose musical knowledge is pretty well limit!:ld to "My Fair
Lady," one Hungarian Rhapsody from piano lesson days, and three
snatches from the more dramatic parts of "La Boheme." In other words,
this book will look good on anybody's shelf. Especially if he has a sense
·Of humor.
Actually, what Shaw does is drift through a series of re_views of operas, concerts, and other musical events of the time.
He has nice sections on comic opera (these were tbe Gilbert and
. Sullivan days) and 1comments on church music. He touches on
the public - there 'is an especially vivid portrayal of the ardent
prima-donna admirer who "with frenzy in his eye, seizes a
substantial-looking bouquet and hurls it straight at her head,
which would probably have been removed from her shoulders
had not the missile fallen some yards short of its mark."
Some of his best daggers are saved for the staging failures of the
time - a prime example being : "For want of a stage manager, no man
, in "Les Huguenots" knows whether he is a Catholic or a Protestant . . . .
. As for the prison doors that will not shut, and the ordinary door that
will not open, I do not complain of that: it is the stage way of such
apertures. One gets at last to quite look forward to Valentine attempting
.a dashing exit through an impracticable door into his house opposite the
-cathedral, and recoiling, flattened and taken aback, to disappear ignominiously through the solid wall at the next entrance."
Bravo, G.B.S.!
It is, of course, a sin that anyone can escape through four years
-of colle~e without knowing something about the big areas of culture.
1 have almost achieved this dubious state, especially, in regard to music.
Shaw gives me new ho,Pe, mainly by bringing this frightening divinity
down to the level of the everyday world . . . and me.

to tie o'r take the lead.
