THE POINTER
What IS the Situation .
Well, Mr. John Amacker has made his answer to the
Student Council's investigating committee known. As you
all know, this committee held a "Town Hall meeting" in
the auditorium just before Christmas vacation, and received
questions from the students present about their pet "gripes"
about the Union.
Mr. Amacker seems inclined to pass off this cqmmittee
as a group of students who have exceeded their authority.
NOTHING COULD BE FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH.
These students were appointed by the Student Council to
investigate the conditions that existed.
The Union director has chosen to cast off these accusations
by making some accusations. of his own. I urge every student
to read the committee's report which is on file in the Relei'Ve room of the Library.
To deal briefly with some of Mr. Amacker's comments:
1. In a direct quote from Mr. Amacker in Part V of the
report he states that the Council officers did not see him
as he directed. He has no authority over the Council.
2.. He also states that certain unnanwd persons tried to
~cure financial information from Union staff members.
Yet throughout the report he states that anyone may find
out about the financial status of the Union merely by ask-
Ing.
3. The presence of Council members in the Asst. Director's office while the "yellow sheet of facts" was printed
JJ,as no relation to the investigation whatsoever. The-"yellow sheet" was not approved by the Student Council or
flllYOne else. The sheet was duplicated in that room only
because that is where the duplicating machine- is located.
The rules posted in the snack bar area for the use of the
duplicating machine state that ANYONE may use the
machine.
FURTHERMORE, I disagree with Mr. Amacker that the
actions of the investigating committee bring discredit upon
themselves or the Student Council. Mr. Robert Kiefert, the
president of the council, is to be commended for his actions
in reacting to the will of the students and calling a general
meeting.
I can only feel that Mr. John Amacker has attempted to
bypass the main issue. That issue was concerned with the
miserable food that was served to the persons who ate in
the Union cafeteria.
There is hardly a word in the report as to what has been
done to correct that problem. Therefore I think a direct
answer from Mr. Amacker is in order. Exactly what is the
Union doing to correct the food problem? .

Chemistry Department
Urges Summer Schoo1
The chemistry department will
be more crowded than ever dur·
ing the next two years, untU
th~y move into their new science
building.
They hope to take all comers
in the junior-senior courses (numbered over 100 in the new sys·
tern). But in the freshman and
sophomore courses their capacity
will be severely taxed and some
students will very likely be tum•
ed away. These courses are those
numbered below 10 in the new
system, and Chern 15 (quantitative analysis) and 20 (organic I).
Those who want such courself
cannot possibly be accommodated
unless the summer session is
used to full capacity. Hence, the
summer offerings will be greatly
expanded during the next two
years.
Majors will be given preference
in assignment of space. Non-rna·
jors who want Chern 15 or Chern
20, or both, are urged to take it
during the summer if they possibly can.
Taking these courses during
the summer offers some advantages. To wit:
(a) Classes are smaller, so
more individual attention per
student is possible.
lb) The students take fewer courses" (often none other
than chemistry) and the mstructor t e a c h e s fewer
courses. Extra-curricular activity is at" a nnmmum.
Hence, both instructor and
student can concentrate on
the one course. With 8 weeks
at their disposal, the required

"The Fallacy of Federal Aid" AJ..~:!~~~bn~~. ~t~!~~!uncil sponsored.
by Kim Stlen
First we should look at this term "federal aid". This ~ a phony
term, a misnomer. We must realize that what we are dealing
1Vi.th is federal control, not federal_ aid.
I should like to deal primarily with the so-called federal aid to
education because it Concerns us directly and is often represented
as a cure-all for our educational ills. Many people are under the
:Impression that federal aid is free. Federal aid is, of course, · not
free. · The only money the government has is the money it collect~ from the taxpayers. The question is .not \\'here the money
Is coming from, but who is going to decide how it will be spent.
In New Jersey, we have an excellent example of how this "federal
aid'' works. It cost the people of that state $1.47 for every dollar
9f federal aid they received, and, of course, control of their money
in the process.
In the past, as provided for in the constitution, education has
always been a local prerogative, and rightly so. Who are better
qualified to deal with the educatiDn of the children of a community
than the members of that community itself. The whole concept
of federal aid rests upon the premise that local people are com·
petent to handJ.e their own affairs. The supporters of federal aid
to education have lost faith ill' the American people. I have not.
l: feel that the members of a community are not only qualified,
but the best qualified to determine how their scho~ls are going
to be run.
If there are communities not capable of managing their schools,
I would ask if the taking over of this responsibility by the federal
government is moving them toward a greater ability to deal with
these problems.
.
Federal control of education is not only a flagrant violation of
t~ur freedom, but also a threat to the American character. By de·
priving the people of their responsibility we are not alleviating
the problem, we are, in fact, aggravating it.

A few weeks ago members of the Student council and
the Union board received a ten-page report on the findings
of this committee. The answers to the questions are listed
as are comments from Mr. John Amacker and the members
of the committee.
I
Drivers Education
-Important Ser\'ice
of the tactics of the
Mr. Amacker expresses ~sapproval
Student council and the committee in the method of handling
this investigation. From his comments it seems as though
some rather underhanded movements were made. Some may
say that Mr. Amacker was on the defensive and tried to
protect himself by blaming the Council. However, the intelligent reader of this report will see that some members
of the committee also feel that the situation was not handled
properly. When a committee member agrees that he was
involved in improper tactics, isn't that enough proof?
Another thing that should be mentioned is that students
requested this investigation; their questions were used as a
basis for it. Why, then, doesn't each student have a copy of
the report? True, there are· 30 copies on reserve in the
library - but how maJ:l.y know that? If this was an investigation for the benefit of the students, then the sponsoring
group should make the results known and give each student
his own copy.
·
T~e questioiLmany now arise: who is to pay for the
printing of 1,800 copies · of a ten~page report? The Council
is the student government on this campus and the sponsoring organization. Therefore, it would seem logical that
material of such great importance as this report is supposed
to be could be printed and paid for by the Council.
I would like to urge every student to get his hands on a
copy of this report - through the library or through pressuring the Council for a copy. The student should then read
the report carefully and intelligently making certain that he
reads the entire report, not just parts of it. Questions that
may arise while reading the beginning sections of the report
will most likely be answered in the remainder of it.
Take time to read ·and think! Think twice before condemning a man who has done much more for this campus
than any of us can begin to realize. It is amazing how much
of his time he gives to us students who then turn around
and protest violently against him. Yes, I'm referring to Mr.
Amacker. He had turned tM Union from an empty building
into a center of campus life. We have complaints, sure, but
when we voice them to him, he always tries his best to
rectify the mistakes.
For once let's give the man a pat on the back and a hand
instead of knocking him down repeatedly.
Read intelligently! Think intelligently! Act intelligently!

One of the unheralded services
of CSC is the Drive.rs Education
course that is being handled by
1\-lr. Duaine Counsell of the PhY.
sica! Education department.
At present there are 13 stu·
dents enrolled in the course who
in turn each, have a student driV·
er to whom they are giving driV•
ing lessons which ultimately wiU
result in their acquistition of a
Wisconsin driver's license. In·
eluded in this are a presentation
of safety rules, proper methodS!
of handling an automobile undel"
road conditions and various other
aspects of knowledge whreh will
produce a safe driver in the student as well as a better informed
motorist in the person of the student instructor.
These student instructors also
are qualified to teach driver
educa,tion courses in high schools.
This has been an important fa<i·
tor in their placement as teachera
since many schools now place tt
good deal of emphasis on thiS
phase of education.
Mr. Counsell has done a fine
job in turning out these instructors and in doing so has don*J
much to make the highways ot
Wisconsin a safer place to drive
for everyone.
May I, in this way, express
to President Hansen, the Colleg•
Staff, my own French studentlb
the Sophomore class, and all
others, my appreciation for theii
thoughtfulness and kindness? I
am so deeply grateful.

Raises Young
A maternity ward! What's Uiat?
Why, of course, it's a ward where
living young are produced. To
the students in Biology 224, the
words maternity ward may mean
a variety of things. Take for in·
stance, these definitions:
Bill Ourran: Excellent idea because the female frogs are ovulat·
ing. A bit of humor would go
a long way in Embryology class.
Stephen Taft: When we get the
frogs stimulated, we'll have eggs.
Lloyd Kirk: If the human race
produced young as undepen<iable
as the maternity ward, we would
be in a heck of a condition.
Student Comment: Mr. Becker
should be commended for the
outstanding job he is doing in his
first year of "operation birth.'•

Out Of The Pen
By Haugsby
If you thought the previous
column which found its way out
of the pen was somewhat idealIstic you should find this one
somewhat ridiculous.
How cold is "ice cold"? How
funnY, is a "funny joke"? ·· we
often hear and use expressions
such as these, but aren't all jokes
supposed to be funny? Another
type of sentence we hear and use
is, "I'm going to shoot him." This

Richa.rd Smith
Our male profile this week comes to us from Baraboo Wisconsin.
While at~ending high school there, Richard Smith w~s president
of the Rifle club and participated in sports, such as tennis and
volleyball.
Upon entering CSC in the fall of 1957, then and there Dick made
up liis mind to get the most out of his college life. This can be
seen in the fact that in his four years, he has achieved a double
major - biology and conservation.
Besides keeping up on his studies, he has taken part in numerous
extra-curricular activities. Dick has been in Alpha Beta Rho f0r
three years and has served as the group's treasurer for two years.
He is a member of the U n i o n . - - - - - - - - - - - - - Board Social committee and does
writing for the Pointer. He has
been very active in Alpha Kappa
Lambda all four years and has
held the office of secretary for
two years. At the present time,
he is president. He also was
sub-chairman of Winter Carnival
this year.
Dick says the thing he wilio remember most when he leaves
Central State Is the booster but-.
ton sale sponsored every Homecoming by AKL. Also the won·
derful people has met on campus
have maae a lasting impression.
"College life is a fast life," says
Dick. "It seems that only yesterday I entered CSC.'' His advice to underclassmen is to study
hard because your -returns are
only as strong as your individual
efforts.
Dick's plans for the future are
at 'present, uncertain, but we are
sure that whatever field he enters, he will do his best and in
SMITH
so doing, will achieve . happiness
and success.

Baseball Team
Opens at Home
The college -baseball team will
have opened its 1961 season with
Milton at home on April 18 with
a lineup marked with new faces.
As a result of graduation, Coach
Duaine Counsell has lost many
of his stalwarts including Dick
Busse, Joe Pease, LeRoy Ferris~
Jerry 9uandt, DavE) Roma.n, and
Gene Alexander. These men represented a group of .300 hitters
as well as two of the league's
top chuckers in Roman and Alexander. Roman is in the farm
camp of the Minnesota Twins
and Alexander has transferred
to Oshkosh.
TWO MEMBERS of Alpha. Kappa. Lambda. are shown
on the bridge in the new wildlife park that the club is

Fricke. The park is being built north of the physical
education building.
By Tom Muench
A sure sign that spring has truly arrived is the stirring of
the dormant AKLers. I'm glad to see that they are engaged in
such beneficial activities as building a park for the school and
identifying all the wildlife with name· tags. Now everyone will be
able to observe Peter Rabbit and Freddy Squirrel as they cavort
about in the new park. Perhaps an even more worthwhile project
would be to undertake the labeling of various bats that inhabit
the main building. This would be a real beneficial act of conser·
vation.
Here's a heartening bit of news for Pointer basketball fans who
are looking to next year's team. Barring scholastic difficulties all
return except Sammy Sampson and Don Kottke. Thus the entire
core of this year's championship team will be back plus any other
talent that can be attracted to this campus. Makes things look
pretty good for a Tepeat performance.
-.-.-:- One of the new invocations over at the Physical Education
building which is of especially extra value this spring is the pitching machine and the batting cage. This combination enables the
baseball players to Sharpen up their batting eyes when the elements
outdoors are against them. With the loss of many of their veterans
due to graduation, they will need all the help they can get.
Those· lettermen who have returned are Bill Kuse, Jim Han·

Humorous and popular, Mr.
Robert S. Lewis joined the Central State college staff in 1942.
But his teaching;life started with
Shawano High school in 1936
where he taught for six years.
He then became supervisor for
social studies. at the Campus
school of esc and finally a teacher of the college.
An interesting revelation was
that at the beginning of his
career here he used to teach the
Army Air corps geography and
the aviation science ground
course instead of general students.
· When he joined the Geography
department "there were only two
instructors and we had many
courses to teach but few students
to listen," he said jokingly.
"And there were only 300 to
400 students in school - when
the number reached to 1,000 I
thought where in heavens they
would put all those fellows?"
Next fall we should have about
2,000 students. "We certainly
need more byildings, more space,"
he emphatically said.
"All these years I had found
the students the same - interesting, energetic and anxious," he
finally commented.
Since 1948 he has taken students
to field trips in the summers,
several times to the southwest
United States and twice to Eur·
ope. Sometime around •1954 he
added to his responsibility the
charge of the Radio and TV dePartment.
He takes care of the treasury
of the Wisconsin State Colleges'
Faculty association.
A native of Wisconsin Mr. Lew·
is completed his Master's -degree
at the University - of Wisconsin.
Among his hobbies and pastimes
he prefers gardening. He also
raises dogs and cultivates tropi·
cal fish.
But most of all he loves to t ravel ' and "after retiring from
teaching I would like to travel
around /the world."
"Springtime at ASA" was the theme of the tea the Alpha
Sigma Alpha pledges held April 13. It was given for the actives
and the pledges of all sororities in the Union lounge. Entertainment was provided by Joan Dahl on the piano.
On Saturday, April 22, 12 Alpha Sig pledges became active
members at the formal initiation in the Union lounge. Joan Spreda
was general chairman for the initiation.
As a conclusion to the pledging activities Alpha Sigma Alpha
held their initiation banquet at the Hot Fish Shop. General chair·
man for the banquet was Jean Droeger. Other committee chairmen
were: reservations, Gerry Huebner; invitations and favors, Ann
Trinrud; speaker, Sue Holtan; entertainment, Cheryl Winkler;
transportation, Elaine Searl; decorati<ms, Dottie Doran.
The guest speakers were Alpha Sig alums.
Congratulations to Bill and Sylvia Verkuilen {"Sib" Groshek) on
arrival of Jean Teresa on April 4 at Peoria, Illinois.
