The POinter asked for poetry from
the students, and I for one tried
to answer this request.
What I'm trying to say, is that
much of what you print is not
poetry. It's sentimental prose, cut
up into 4 01' 8 lines and called
poetry. How about some true
poetry - something with a little

something in free or blank verse
that shows a little thought. Also

few generalizations ( if anyone
has questions, I will answer them
by word of mouth, anytime, anywhere).
It seems that there should at
least be some attempt at poetic
craftsmanship, some facility with
poetic devices. Much of the poetry that has appeared in The
Pointer this far has lacked skill
and seems to have been whipped
out in a minute or two minus
image or word play. I would like,
as best I can, to agree w i t h
John Ciardi in feeling that the
importance of poetry lies in the
act of language; it is not what
you say that counts in poetry.
Messages may be simple or complex. It is how you say it. Before I upset any · more English
teachers with this , gigantic generalization, I would like to quote
Archibald Macleish at the end of
his poem "Ars Poetica" describing the art of poetry:
"For all the history of grief
An empty doorway and
a
maple leaf
For love
the leaning grasses and two
lights above the· seaA poem should not mean
but be."
Thus, even in describing pOetry,
he fulfills the quality of being
with images, rhythm, ·and rhyme.
These are some of the things I
will try to look for in deciding
whether or not the poetry submitted fulfills the act of language.
ELLEN KIELISZEWSKI
Poetry Editor
One of the most puzzling things a student encounters at college
is the curriculum he is forced to follow. Often it seems demented
minds are at work, deviouslt trying to foist unrelated, unnecessarY.
and unasked for courses on reluctant students.
If you're a conservation major you sit squinning, Jlke a fish
out ot water, in the foreign land of a Masters of Literature class,
attempting to pid( up a hwnaniti.es credit. On the other hand, it
you're an intennediate-upper elemenmry education majOr - why.
every Monday, Wednesday and Friday you may be fonnd gingerl,.
picking your way through foggy marshes or woods, as part of a
required Conservation 111 oourse. Let it never be said that
WJSCOilSin maple, elm and pine tree go unrecognized by anr,
intennedlate-upper elementary education major.
Or you may sit long into the night, swallowing No-Doz after NOlo
Doz, in a vain attempt to memorize fifty North American birds,
mammals and fishes out of those clever little dollar Golden Nature
pocketbooks, occasionally -wondering why on earth it is vital that
an English major know the circulatory system of a fish or be
able to draw the structure of a tapeworm. But ten credits of
natural science you must have for a degree from this institution,
so ten credits you must take, even if, like James Thurber, all
you see when you look through a microscope is the reflectioQ.
of your own eye.
And every student, unless somehow blessed with a minor defect,
is required to take two years of physical education. .A strong
body as well as a strong mind is the motto, and it's probably true if you live through the strong body part you may have a chance
to develop your mind. No one can argue that the range of
courses offered is limited. At 7:45, if. you're male, you can mke
diving. What could be more invigorating after a big night out
the night before than swooping merrily down into chlorine-treated
ioo blue water. If you're female, what could be more exciting
than finding yourself in a oo·ed gymnastic class where you swing
from parallel bars, hop over a contraption ca.lled a "horse," hang
upside down from two rings, or bounce awkwardly on a trampoline,
providing much merriment for the boys in the class. · The ha:ra.rds
to life and limb are not to be underestimated in such classes where
you may find yourself beaned by a misdirected golf ball, dodging
arrows in an archery class, two-stepping instead of three-stepping
in a social dance class, or dropping a Brunswick ball on your foot
in a bowling class.
Why must student take such courses? Only the curriculum committee knows for sure. And they're not telling.

extended, tentatively. The purpose
of this extension is · to m ake a

The new, tentative h~urs .- for
the University ·C enter only affect
the closing times and are as follows : doors will be locked and all
facilities will be closed at 10 :45;
the building will be cleared by
11 :00. On weekends all facilitieswill be cleared by 12 :00 midnight.
Unless facilities are adequately
used by the students during the
new hours, the old hours will be

with the expense of the added
hours in order to maintain these

30th to December 5th, W. S. U.
campus was fortunate to have representatives from t h e Peace
COrps here. June and Andy Hanson, teachers, spent two years in
Liberia, West Africa. Their first
assignment took them to Monrovia, the capital. Here in the capital city, Mrs. Hanson taught English to the ninth through twelveth
grades. Mr. Hanson, on the other
hand, taught social studies to the
grades equivalent to those · found
in our senior high schools. While
in Monrovia, they ·found the liv~
ing conditions much better than
anticipated. Local supermarkets
with. many varieties of imported
food were able to be found. Life
was not as rugged to. them as
imagination had made • it . seem.

Miss Gidwani E.arns
Doctorate Degree
-
January U, 1965
THE POINTER
Miss Sushila J. Gidwani has suceessfully ·completed her doctorate
in the . field of economics earning
the title of Doctor of Philosophy.
To obtain a Ph.D., one must
eompose an original thesis in the
field of one's studies and defend
this thesis in an oral examination before a panel· of judges.
Miss Gidwani earned her Bachelor's degree in Chemistry at the
University of Bombay in Born·
bay, India. She then came to
America and completed her graduate work at the University of
Minnesota and received her Master's degree in Business Administration.
A s k e d to do research in the
field of Petroleum Refineries, she
became very interested in this
topic. She believed that there are
· certain economic factors which
p 1 a y an important roll in the
growth of Petroleum Refineries.
Thus, Miss Gidwani chose "The
Economic Causes and Effects ·of
Technological Growing: A C a s e

Big Success
By Jane Chang a.nd
Philip A. Grn.UJ)I\er
The evening of Janurary 6th
was a very special one for a
very fortunate few who attended
the concert presented by Miss
Shirley Verrett, one of the leading young mezzo soprano's of our
time, accompanied by the pianist,
Charles Wadsworth. She is destined to become one of the greatest
in the world of music.
Miss Verrett presented the premier performance of a eoncert
that she will sing at Carnegie
Hall on Janurary 30th and which
will be recorded by RCA Victor.
The program consisted of art
songs and spirituals.
She captivated the audience by
her personal charm, vitality, taste,
and style. She was extremely successful in making the true meaning of the songs felt by the
audience, although they w:ere sung
in the language of the composer.
Miss Verrett herself was impressed by the audience's response.
She received thunderous applause
and standing ovations.

arts have infinite variety iq form,
they have oneness in principle."

16-9 lead. Dick Jensen kept up
his winning by getting a takedown in the first period to beat

College athletes who win their letters are better students thai!
those who go out for the team but don't earn a letter. .
The lettermen earn grades equal to those of men who don't
participate in athletics.
Among the athletes, basketball playeris and golfers get th~
best grades while baseball and football players have the lowest
grades.
.
These are some of the findings of Robert H. Steuk, Student
Union Director at La Crosse State University, La Crosse, Wisconsin, in a study of scholastic records of 96 men who earned letters in sports, 43 men who played on athletic teams without winning letters and 147 men who did not participate in any varsity
sport. All men studied were attending La Crosse State University.
The findings revealed that the grade point averages of lettermen
and non-athletes were identical 2.3. The athletes who did
not win letters had a grade point average of 2.0.
Among the 10 varsity sports, the grade point averages were:
basketball 2.54, golf 2.49, tennis 2.41, cross country 2.41, · gymnastics 2.27, track 2.27, wrestling 2.27, swimming 2.20, baseball
2.13, and football 2.11.
Steuck also reported in the research study as part of his work
toward a doctor of education degree that at La Crosse State University, men who participated in athletics also participated in more
religious groups, more campus activities, held more offices in
campus organizations and worked at more part time jobs than
non-athletes.
