By CSC Station
"\VDSN Is the new name for

tensively. The purpose was to
create and maintain a professional ballet company in and for
Canada which would strive for
a high standard of perfor!Jlance
and offer talented young- Canadian dancers the opportunity
for a ballet career. Various guild
branches have been established
since.
The Guild is fortunate in having obtained . Miss Celia Franca,
of London, England, as director.
Dame Ninette de Valois, director
of the Royal Ballet (formerly
Sadler's Wells, generally considered to be perhaps the finest
of all ballet companies anywhere
in the world), recommended
Miss Franca.
The permanent repertoire of
the National Ballet of Canada
includes such famous works as
"Swan Lake," "The Nut Cracker," "Coppelia," "Giselle," and
"Les Sylphides."
The following are examples of
enthusiastic reviews which presentations of the Ballet have received in various North American cities:
"Ballet Electrifies Miami The National Ballet of Canada's

THE POINTER
Editorial
Perilous Trek
A hearty' welcome to all of you students who are back
among the ,books and the bats again• this semester! Let me
now offer a ~ord of advice. Please notice the statistics
which represent th~ number of first semester drop-outs and
the percentage of students who now are on probation. (These
facts are listed in an article found in this· issue of the Pointer.)
Next stop and figure out what your chances are of surviving
·this struggle for the oppqrtunity of getting an education
at the Climax of this semester. The Union is a grand place
to go for a break, but perhaps too many students' breaks
are too long. Granted, many things can be learned over a cup
of .coffee in the Snack bar, but they may not apply to the
subject matter being dealt with in your next class. This
search of _o urs for knowledge can not be facilitated by continuous card games or coffee breaks.
.,
According to the Stevens Point Journal for January 22,
President William C. Hansen was criticized by the Board
of Regents for the high standards of admission and retention
we have here at CSC. I feel we should stand behind him
on this issue. The way to the degree and diploma may be rugged, but remember, climbing Mt. Everest is more of a
triumph than a trip to the top of Rib Mountain.
MCH
\'KenneI" Now Official
The Kennel is the name chosen for the new center on the
lower floor of the Union. This· area is the central control center for all tlie Union game rooms as well as a general store,
information center and operational headquarters of the
Union board.
'
·
The 'services offered by the Kennel are all a part of the
program of the Board which operates this newest union
facility through their student manager, Gloria Richard. The
original game center was too small, too hard to operate and
out .of the general traffic pattern.

Know Your Union
Dear Pointers:
At the last meeting of the
Union board before semester
finals, the · house committee
gave a report on the selection
of the spot for the new building
within a building in the Snack
bar - - the Kennel.
The photographic darkroom is
ready for use and will be used
under the direction of Bob
LaBrot.
The tournament and games
committee reported -that it is too
late in the year for any of us
here . a~ esc to begin working
for state or national honors in
ping pong or billiard tournaments. Local tournaments will
~ ,beginning
sometime t h i s
spring, however.
The Union board has purchased an FM aerial to enable
t he radio in the music listening
room to pick up FM stations.
Pictures were taken for t he
Iris.
The last meeting of the board
was held after the deadline for
the news for the Pointer, so an
account of it will be in the next
Pointer. Won't you let us hear
from you?
See you at the dance this
evening?
Sincerely yours,

be presented February 23, 24 and
25 in the college auditorium. The
play is being sponsored by College theater and the Department
of Speech and is directed by Mr.
l\'llliam M. Dawson.
The plot revolves around a
young farmer, his wife and a
servant-girl who causes the
wife's arrest for witchcraft. The
farmer brings the girl to court
to admit the lie. The thrilling
trial scene depicts bigotry and
deceit.
The cast includes Roger Groman as John Proctor; Barbara

Did some teacher once tell me that setting was important to

of this article. It is late in the afternoon and I am sitting on a
hard bench in a hot, stifling locker room. The stillness is broken
onl!v _by a very steadily maddening pitter-patter of one of the
showers. It that sounds like the beginning of a mystery novel
l!m sorry to disillusion you, because those are merely the cirewnstances under which I often write.
:How that I've been here for a semester, my impressions of the

pleuant sUI'prlse to find Ute teachers so helpful and friendly,
ccatrary to file "you wUI be entirely on your own" attitude with
wlllch we are indoctrinated In high school. But one thing that
. . . Is and always will surprise me Is the discourtesy and incon·

~Joe is rather familiar to most
of us through his baseball efforts. He .has been the number
one shortstop for the past three
seasons.
"Billings," as he is called by
his closer associates, started his
educational journey at Portage
High school; transferring from
there to Pardeeville to complete
his· Junior and Senior years.
Here he played football, basketpall and naturally baseball. In
1954 he decided_ on college and
chose Central State. .After a
year and a half he was in need
of a vacation so he volunteered
for the draft and spent the following two · years in the army,
ten months of which were. spent
playing ba!eball and basketball
for the Okinawa base team. Joe
liked Okinawa very much and
states he would again like to
"tour" the Orient.
Upon discharge he re-entered
and decided on secondary
education and coaching as his
field. Joe is a biology major
with psychology and physical
education minors. He also feels
that his drivers education course
from Mr. Duaine Counsell will
be an asset in his search for a
job-.

grade average up as quick as
possible."
We wish you luck, Joe, and
hope your teams come out on
top like the ones you've been
perfonning for. ·
LeRoy Sroda
Who's the "fastest" rpan on
Coach Hale Quandt's charges?
Why it's this week's familiar
face, LeRoy "Buff" Sroda.
Lee is a native of Stevens
Point, where he attended grade
school and P. J. Jacobs lligh
school. He was also a member
of the basketball squad here. (Of
course one must realize the game
was much "slower" then than
now.)
LeRoy entered CSC in · 1952
with his ambitions already set
on coaching. In 1954 he entered
the Army and was stationed at
Fairbanks, Alaska. His main
reason for going into service -at
this time was because in this
way he got half of his education
paid for by Uncle Sam.
After being discharged (honorably) he decided on his biology
major. Physical education, general science and drivers education constitute his minors. Lee
has already practice taught under Mr. Eugene Brodhagen and
Mr. Cardinal and is currently
practice teaching sixth grade
general science at the training
school under Mr. Edgar Pierson.
When asked what he thou__ght of
it and how he thought he would
like teaching his reply was "It's
really going to be great!"
Other than sports, Lee has
found time for various extracurricular activities.
He is a
member of the Newman . club,
~he 550 organization and also is
a member of the "S" club where
in 1958 he held the office of
vice-president. ·
Upon graduation in June, he
wants to find "the best job in
coaching as possible" with no
special city in mind. Also upon
graduating, in fact 15 days later
(June 25), he will claim Miss
Mary Lou Qavis as his bride.
Mary Lou is also a CSC ·grad.
Lee says "she's a very good co9k
(Home Ec major) and sews real
well."
The genetics course from Mr.
Pierson and the Advanced Botany
from Mr. Robert ·W hitmire are
on Lee's list as the most inter·
esting courses' he has had in
college.
·
Lett enjoys hunting very much
and claims, "There's nothing like
getting up in the early morning
and romning around in the
woods. It · really gets you refreshed and relaxed for ·a tough
day ahead in the class room."
A word to the wise from Mr.
Sroda goes- something like this,
"Grab Y.OUr books and run to
the library. Master all your ma·
terials and don't let your social
life get · ahead of your academic
life." Freshmen take . notice! ! !
Best . of 'l uck, Lee; and congratulations on your wedding!
We know that best coaching job
will tu:qt ~p!

Still hurting from the lopsided
defeat at Whitewater, the Point·
ers avenged the Warhawks· with
a 91·80 win at P. J, Jacobs gym.
It was. notiCed AY everyone in
the gym that the Pointers were
out to get the Whitewater team
the minute they stepped out onto
the floor and began their intri·
cate warm-up drill~.
Sammy S~pson and Chuck
Mjllenbah combined .to give esc
the needed punch to out .p erform
· the men from Whitewater all
the way.
Don O'Neil, transfer from the
U. of Minnesota, added the touch
of spark that tlie Pointers were
lacking in the early minutes , Qf
'the · ball game. O'Neil showect
good rebounding and driving
ability, and should prove to' be a
big help to the Pointer · squad
with his go-go-go spirit.
The Pointers quickly broke in·
to the lead - in the first 1three
minutes of play with Sampson,
O'Neil and Tom Gurtler, leading
~he way.
The Pointers shot a hot 45 per
cent the first half and were not
in any trouble throughout the
whole ball game.
Coach Qulllldt, instructing his
players to go into a stall with
four minutes to go, · showed us
some of the tactics that helped
to win this particular ball game.
The Pointers showed some of
their finest basketball of the
season in the Whitewater game
and it is the hope .of all of us
that they will contii).ue this high
quality of basketball in the rema:ining games of the season.

I imagine that the first thing to do now is to congratulate
the students that are back this semester.
Tomorrow night the Pointers play their last home basketball
game of the season when they take on the Platteville Pioneers in
another grudge match. On January 15, the Pioneers nosed out
the Pointers by one point in an overtime session at Platteville
and this alone should provide the Pointers with plenty of incentive
to destroy Platteville's pioneering spirit when they invade our
homeland.
·
Sammy Sampson, high scoring guard from Wisconsin Rapids,
was setting quite a pace in · the Whitewater and Oshkosh games
with 32 and 33 points respectively. He may have kept this up
during the games against River Falls and Eau Claire last week-end,
but even if he didn't, that's quite some scoring. In the Oshkosh
game he sank. 16 out of 22 field goal attempts all from tWelve to
thirty feet out.
The wrestling team seems to have finally gotten their feet off
the ground and won a dual match. To make sure that they
wouldp't be beaten out, every member of. tl1e team won as they
compiled_a 34-0 win over Ripon. As an added touch to the victory
Boyd Gibbs, who won his heavyweight match ·by forfeit, defeated
a Ripon wres.t ler in an exhibition match. Art ~se, Arvo BJ.itt,en.
Kim Stein and Norin Dorri all won their matches by pins while
Jim White, Kep Ya.gel and Gary Dom won decisions.
Prospects for the second semester eorit~nue to look brighter
as several ·lettermen from last year's team return. Charlie Witten·
berg, a little heavier after a year off, wiTI compete with Stein for
the 147 pound berth while Wayne Radke will try to displace
Britten as the team's representative at 130 pounds. Gary Doni
also returned this semester and has already stolen a starting spot.
The next home match will be the conference wrestling meet
which will be held here on the 12th of March. Anyone who wants
to become a wrestling fan won't dare pass this up. About six
of the .men that will be here hold Wisconsin State wrestling crowns
in their respective divisions and will provide enough competition
for the rest of the teams to shoot at. Along with these, just
about anyone of the CSC delegation could come out of the meet
wearing the conference crown in his division.
The intramural - or intermurder - leagues seem to be
progressing at a fabulous pace. As of the time this article was
written the Bobcats are in first in the American league with a
perfect 3-0 record while the Beetles lead the National loop with a
2-0 record. Right behind the Beetles are the Rats with a 1-0
campaign. These two . teams clashed last week Thursday, but this
column had already gone to the dogs by that time, so little was
known about the results except that Arvo Britten ruled the Beetles
as heavy favorites in the game.
About 140 to 150 of the masculine sex are participating in intramurals and if you girls want a chance to see some real he-man
builds, this is it. Every Tuesday and Thursday from. 6:30 to 8:45.
I see that the Pointers had a new basketball coach last weekend.
With both Mr. Quandt and Mr. OoU.nseU sick, the wrestling coach,
Gene Brodhagen, was called back to active duty. Here's hopbig
that the Pointers didn't pin too many of the men from River Falls
and Eau Claire. It's like my high school English teacher told me,
"There's a time and a place . for everything, but this isn't it."
In order to finish up with a respectable record in the conference
this year, it appears that the Pointers will have to beat Platteville
and Milwaukee· to finish with a winning record.
Dave Gilson hit quite a scoring spree the other night in the City
league. Playing for Merritt's Maulers, Dave connected for 26 field
goals and one free throw to walk away with the scoring honors
for the evening. If he keeps going like this, basketball fans will
forget about the "Big 0" and "tall Wilt" and start to talk about
"Dizzy Dave."
Now that the column is finished, I'd like to say, "It's not for
the p om
. t ers t o ques t•Ion w h y, b u t 1 f or them t o do and t o succeed. ,

In a game played during the
semester break, the Pointers
were able to squeak past St. Nor·
berts by the score of 63 to 60.
The game was for the benefit of
the Stevens Point youth ~sebaD
league.
As usual the Pointers were iRvolved in a deadloek during the
last three minutes of ·play.
Don Kottke and Ga;ry HeroM
were able to put forth their best
elforts before the buzzer sounded.
St. Norbert held a 37-32 halttime edge over the Pointers, but
esc cagers were able to come
back strong in the early moments of the second half and.
pull ahead.
Bill Kuse, showing some fine
shooting from his forward position, was able to lead this attack
by the Pointers with much suc-
cess.
Using a tight zone, the Green
Knights made the Pointers go
into a stall to draw the defenders
to th~ outside. This stall ,proved
to be the deciding factor as the
J;'ointers were able to drive to
the inside and score. The Pointers while hitting a somewhat hot
43 per cent from the fi!elQ. were
not able to manage the free
throws when they counted.
On the whole, the Pointers did
a good defensive job on the
boards, even though. they were·
handicapped by lack of height.
The Pointers were finally OR
the long end of the score in one
of those proverbial "close ones."

bers of the 550's. We need
money! That's why we are so
friendly. We are inviting you,
that is all of you guys who have
handled a spud peeler, GI brush,
or swab, to join in the fun and
activities of our organization.
If you have completed active
duty in the armed forces, regardless of your date of service, you
have met the qualifications to
join. And if you' guys think
you're welcome, how about the
Waves and Wacs? Oh boy!
We would like to tell you of
the advantage of being a 550.
The fee is a minimal $2.00. No
box tops required. There are
many advantages including:
social functions, lack of regimentation, tip-offs on V. A. bene-.
fits, lessons of how to suc.ceed
at the art of midnight requisitioning, access to lists of snap
courses and war stories. For
further information, watch the
550 bulletin board or contact one
of the sneaky looking individuals roaming the campus in a red
sweat shirt. (Also may be found
in dark corners.)
The latest rumble is that the
Siasefi figure they can · beat the
55.0's - by engaging them in a
mortal combat with basketballs.
Hah! ! Even Roundy says it
can't be -done. The tentative date
for the clash is February 20,
during the halftime of the PointPlatteville game.

"II Forecast For Fun
ucate ·:
By Gtlorge Howlett
All this talk about the loyalty
oath and student loans reminds
me of a little incident in history
dated November, 1956 - the
place, Budapest, Hungary. What
happened? The youth of Hungary rose together to fight Soviet
armor with light arms and homemade explosives. Why? Because they knew the value of
freedom and were willing to shed
blood to get it.
American youth ha~e never
had to shed their blood on home
soil to fight for freedom. The
college youth of today does not
know the real meaning of freedom. Sure it is c;tll around us.
We are enswarthed in the benefits of freedom. But who of us
knows anything about it? What
does a rich man know of the
well-being of a full stomach?
Would not one who has faced
starvation know better the value
of a mouthful of food? But who
of us has faced barbed wire with
a gun at our back? And yet our
college youth, led on by the

as esc students skimmed around
the plastic roller skating floor
at the Lo-Nor Skating rink. The
expressions heard as the students skated were "Look out," "I
·can't stop," "Women drivers!"
and "This plastic floor is softer
than a wooden floor?" In any
case, all present seemed to have
fun. The evening began at 6:30
on February 1 when· 20 CSC'ers
with fun on- their minds lined
up in front of the library to load
the buses. The chaperons, Mr.
and Mrs. Robert Lewis, ~11'. and
Mrs. Dean Phelps, Miss Doris
Davis, Mr. Dean Blair and Miss
Marjorie Schelfout, came prepared for a good time. The
evening was highlighted by a
moonlight dance, the two step,
bag tag and the hold-up dance.
Ten-thirty rolled around too
soon and the buses had to aim
toward home.
Positions for Students
The Student eouncil would like
to announce the openings on the
following student-faculty committees: Library, Calendar, Housing, Athletic, On-campus public
relations and Off-campus public
relations. These committees have

school administration. Students,
this is your chance to help design
c;chool policies. Any Freshman,
Sophomore or Junior. interested
in being on one of these committees may sign up in the

• The first argument against it
they say is that the disloyal
ones will take the oath anyhow.
But this is an argument ad
.absurdum. Persons are expected
to perform the duties of their
oath of office. We have oaths before a court of law. People daily
break these oaths a}so. But perjury remains a crime before
God and man.
Then they say that such an
oath takes away intellectual freedom. 'Tis a pity that college
students aren't required to learn
a little logic. These pseudointellectuals have tbeir wires a
little ·crossed up as to the point
at question.
A loyalty oath does not deny
a student intellectual freedom.
The right to search for truth
is not abridged. But it does
give rather a purpose and an
incentive to study well, to work
diligently to become a defender
oi freedom. The whole purpose
of this project is to train people
who will work for the defense
of our country, wiho will let
themselves be trainetl in tlle arts
and sciences so that ~e will nave

A dollar bill buys the Spa's famous cheese and

you the largest pizza we make . . . with the works.
Thirty-five cents is the price of the Spa's hamburger
sandwich, with the cheeseburger only a nickle
more. And those prices include a cup of freshbrewed coffee.~ There's a real chunk of meat in
these sandwiches, too - some . restaurants don't
give as much on their hamburger steak dinners!
And if you're really hungry, ask for our hamburger
steak .. ·. on the dinner or ~late at $1 :50 or $1 . 15,
respectively. The Spa's famous small tenderloin
steak is just $1.25 for the plate tunch, while the
"chicken plate" is only $1.35.
Everything, of course, is prepared just the
