What -A:· Foreign Student .Sees·
It is interesting _to see that
in a country where technology
has advanced so much, race
relations have not made any
progress. This can easily be
ireen when one hears that a
Ranger- ·rocket ·has been sent
to photograph the moon, and,
at the same time a group of
demonstrating Negroes h a v e
been slugged by the Selma mercenaries of Gov. Wallace.
Then, · you hear that an innocent woman ' and c h i I d have
been butchered by the savage
Ku Klux Klan. One wonders
how s u c h a movement -has
been allowed to exist, harming
the Negroes in such a ~'hu-man:
itarian" country.
Probably this Sort of thing
happens only in the South. In
the North, especially on the
WSU - Stevens Point campus,
things are all right. : In fact,
students here go as far as
marching .d~town to protest
the hellish beatings in Selma.
But, one of the marchers nearly fell down as he tried to

The
PODIUM
Responsibility And Confidence
At the last meeting of the faculty on Apr.· 1, I requested that a reporter from the POINTER be allowed
to attend and report on all faculty meetings. This request was turned down, pending further study, for what
I consider perfectly acceptable reasons, i.e., the need for
further study by the faculty and the absence of the request on the meeting's agenda.
I believe that a real service can be rendered the student body through POINTER representation at the
faculty meetings. I believe that the students want their
reporter there. I believe that their reporter has a right
to . . . a duty . . . to seek admission there. I also
believe that the faculty will in time become convinced
of this and will seek the presence of a reporter as an
invaluable instrument of communication with the stu~
dents.
I cannot and will not promise that the reporting on
the faculty meetings will be uncontroversial. What I do
promise is the most responsible reporting that this staff
is capable of. A faculty vote of confidence can give the
POINTER staff an opportunity to show their capability
and responsibleness. I sincerely hope that the students,
through their newspaper, will be given that vote of
eonfidence at the next . faculty meeting.

In the last edition of the POINTER, the masthead
was deliberately misspelled, PIONTER. It was interesting to see how many readers noticed this and were
able to relate it to the date, Apr. 1.
It was a constant source of joy to the staff of the
POINTER to see the old "regulars," i.e., faultfinders,
rush to the advisor's office or to the POINTER office
to revel in their great find. It was magnificent the way
their faces fell to the floor as they were received with

Failing to get results, the
w i n g manager went to the
dorm director who did not take
time to personally go and do
something about it, or to even
speak to the girls who had
behaved so immaturely. The
wing manager that reported
the episode felt that she was
more in the wrong for trying
to keep order than those who
broke the rules.
Since we, as residents, are
paying the salaries of the dorm
directors and student assistants,
we expect them to keep enough
order so we can sleep at
night. If student assistants
spent less time trying to run
our social lives and more time
attending to their duties, may..

g etting gr ades to that ·littletalked-of-subject, Knowledge.
Such a system could do the
average student a service as
well. The pressure of competing would to a large extent
be r emoved from consideration
and replaced, we would hope,
by an honest desire for learning .
We don't believe that competition, as far as 1ihe grading
system goes, is necessary or
even desirable in today's university. If one learns no more
tl!lan how to ci-am fur a test
in four or six years of university level work, who is to
benefit? Least of an, the students will.
We see in the future a revolution in the educational system and honestly hope that
'U Juisiana is a leader rather
tlaan a follower ill that revolutiea.

Campus Commentary
A Study In Depth
by Don Hammes
What is the job or the duty iQf the 'university newspaper
to you the students here at Stevens Point? Th<is is the question
that has come to my mind as a result of an incident that happened t{) me as a reporter for the POINTER.
·
When I was asked to become Feature Editor for th~
POINTER, I accepted the position because I felt there was
important information that was not being given to the student
body. As I have been taught in my Journalism 15 class the
most important job any newspaper has is to · inform. 'This
may be done in two ways, 'Give the public what it wants' or
'Give the public the truth it must have.'
uThe freedom which journalism in all its forms now enj0ys
has been painfully won. In the early days, authority, both civil
and ecclesiastical, had a way of clamping down on all announcements of fact and opinion which did not coincide with the authority's wishes, for authority feared the biblical pronouncement 'The truth shall make you free.'"
Students of Stevens Point, journalism has not won its freedom here at the University. Last Thursday night I went to
the monthly faculty meeting with the intention of finding out
important information to be reported to you, the student body.
I was denied this opportunity without any eX!planation and
was asked to leave the meeting.
Possibly you may ask just what is this important informa•
tion that we should know about? The faculty on this campus
is divided into various committees that make policy an this
campus, policy that in some fashi<!m always affects you, the
student body. To gain a better understanding of what kind <Of
policy is discussed, I submit the following list of some of these
faculty committees: Academic Council, Admissions, Alumni,..
Arts and Lecture, Athletics, .Auditing, Curriculum, Extended
Services, Library, Social, Student Affairs, Student Welfare,
Student Financial Aids, Student Activities.
These committee bring various issues to the monthly faculty
meeting where they are once again discussed and then either
approved or disapproved. The President of the University has
the power to veto any of the issues approved by the .faculty;
however, he :rarely disagrees with them due to the excellent
communication between the two bodies. ti is these issues;
these tentative policy statement, that I feel the stuaents should
be iD:formed about. One -of the issues to be discussea the night ·
I was .asked to leave the meeting was that of publications.
Questions such as: "Who has the authority to hire and fire
the Ediim"?"; "Who is in control -of the newspaper?"; '" What
may .or may not the newspaper 'Print?'"; "Who is responsible for what is printed?"; were to be discussed that night.
At this time the answers to these questions; and whether they
hav~ or have not been approved cannot be accurately conveyed
to you.
Other issues discussed at the faeulty meetings for which I
cannot give you a ccurate information are: Low grade reports
(llow slips) being sent only to freshmen and not to their.
~rents, admission of high school students before completion
of their senior year, and graduation bef0re final exams ·w ith
the seniors not required to take final exams. . I sincerely wish
I could have been at these faculty meetings to report the decisions made on these issues and the reasons fo.r such decisions.
In the fffteen years I have attended school, it has alway's
been my experience that the teacher is there to help me learn,
to give· me a guiding hand to the immense world of knowledge,
and to inform me of the issues of the day. To my knowledge,
the teachers have always done this for me and I am dedicated
tG them fur this tremendous service. iln the ten years I have
been reading the newspaper, it has always been my experience
that the newspaper is present to inform me, to teach me and
to guide me in my pursuit of knowledge. It always has done .
this and I am dedieated to the newspaper for tl:lls service.
Now, - -this campus, these same teachers have, through their
ref)lsal to the -newspaper, ceased informing. Thus, the newspaper ~not accurately "Give the publ"c the truth it must
have...

In my opinion , "in loco parentis;" (in lieu of parents )' can
be used by this institution for students under the age of
21, only with parental permission. But, this is as far
as it should go. Sign the petition that states: "We the undersigned strongly urge that Wisconsin State University-Stevens
Point take immediate a ction in abolishing any regulation or
policy which , in any way , hinders any student of either sex
who is 21• y ears of age or older from residing where
he so pleases."
Ralph Barton P e rry, in his "Reasons of Value," Harvard Uni.
versity Press, 1954, p. 411, states: ''The relationship between the
educational instittuion and its students must be viewed in the
light of the function of the college or university: to transmit
t0 the student the civilization of the past, to enable him to
take part in the civilization of the present and to make the
civ.ilization of the future...
There are students who are inter ested in the future of our
school. They are planning freedom of choice for you, choice
of one's living quarters. This is just a start!
rt MUST be
passed and it WILL, if pressure is applied sanely, Talk about
it with your friends. This must pass if you are to "take part
in the civilization of the present."
People are dying for civil liberties. 'lbe 'least we can do
act passively and sign this petitiMl.

Pilfered
On the evening of Apr. 3,
at one of the local teenage
bars, several girls had their
purses broken into and their
wallets stolen.
The girls left their purses
with their coats while they
were dancing. Upon returning
to get their coats, they dis(\overed that their purses had
been opened and their · wallets
had been taken.
Sunday afternoon, the students
went back to the grounds surrounding the bar. They found ·
their vvallets and that of
another girl the contents of
which were strewn about the
grounds, all their money stolen
and their Student !D's gone.
Other important identification
was also lost to the thieves .

Teac~ing ~

(ACP) Professors need incentive to place instruction ahead
of ,research, says · the EMORY
WHEEL,' • Emory University,
Atlanta, Georgia. ·
The incentive suggested was
a student ' survey of professors.
Last - year, Emory's College
CoUncil asked juniors and seniorS to rate professors according to such things as knowledge of subject, preparedness,
and classroom attitude. The
tabulated results were distributed to the student bodY··
The ~evvspaper said-:_

T h .e following quarter of
school, results were · noticed in
some areas, and -~everal professors told their classes . the
report had shown them inadequacies in their teaching they
were unaware of.
In other words, the faculty
evaluation served as an incentive to some faculty to improve what should be their primary job-'-teaching.
This question of teaching versus research is receiving increasing attention as one of
the major problems facing the
teaching profession. A recent
article in TIME magazine entitled "Publish or Perish" told
of professors released from colleges or decreased in rank because of their lack of productiv~ness in journals.
John Fischer said in HARPER'S magazine that "there
is no solid, safe yardstick that
a dean or department head
can use to justify raising the
pay of a good instructor or
firing a poor one ... " so "the
administrator falls back on
something that can be measured: research and publications."
There i~ more, but the
moral is bere : If a student
survey of teachers were taken
regularly, preferably with the
approval of the administration,
a yardstick wouJd exist. ·Such
"guides to courses and teachers" are published quarterly
at some schools (such as Harvard and the University of
California at Berkeley) without inflicting "any irreparable
blight."

Entertainment and a Challenge
'by Doa Hammes
On Mar: 29, the University Fieldhouse was filled with students,
faculty, and townspeople as the famed pianist, ..Job.il. Browning,
presented a display of piano magnificance.
He opened his performance with a selection by Joseph
Hayden, a "Sonata in D Major," which set a precedent for
what was to follow. T.he Hayden sonata began with a gay,
spirit.e d opening that broke the tense expectations of the audi·
el'lce. The -second movement, the adagio, was presented with
skilled expression that could be heard through the music that
tkrwed from the piano. The ending, the presto, resembled the
lively opening with Mr. Browning accenting various ~ts
with tosses .of his .head. The audience responded with moderate
applause.
OONCENTRATION YIELDS BRILLIANCE
After taking his bow, Mr. Browning resumed the seat behind
the grand piano and remained there as the audience, in a
bushed silence, waited for him to begin his -second selection,
'"Sonata in A Minor" by Schubert. The several minutes of
eoncentration by Mr. Browning before the beginning of this
selection could now be understeod by the audience as the
pianist was seen to be deeply involved in the opening
strains of the sonata. Alteration-s between !he powerful, loud
notes and · the flowing, soft notes could be heard as Mr.
Browning filled the air with the brilliance of his playing.
S&metimes the transition between the two was abrupt and
ShGcked the audience who had set themselves for the quiet and
were then "hit" with a succession of loud notes breaking the
tense atmosphere. Mr. Browning, upon completing the sonata
with a moving and beautifully -ciomposed finale, t(')ok several wenearned bows as the audience eagerly responded to his perfelrmance.
To climax the first half of the show, Mr. Browning played
Beethev-en's "Sonata No. 23 in F Minor, Op. 57" ("Appassi.on·
ata") Excellence in both composing and piano -playing were '
tli.iiOOvered by the audie~roe as Mr. Browning's fingers danced·
ever the keys. This was a -selection highly-charged with emo·
tion that was experienced by the audience, as well as the per·
former. The sonata ended in a bold, intrepid fashion and Mr.
Browning was given a strong ovation that was satisfied only,
after several encores.
CHANGE OF PROGRAM
The second half of the performance began around 9 p .m.
At this time Mr. Browning changed his program .from "Piano
Yariations" by Copeland to two Spanish selections. These
ldlowed Mr. ·Browning an opportunity to brace the audience for
ltte last sele·c tion oi the evening, "Sonata, Op. 26" by Barber.
These Spanish selections intraduced the more complex music
whieh is characteristie of modern classical music. Variations
ill basic scale cudiments could be heard as Mr. Browning displayed tremendous finger dexterity. To accentuate the Spanish influence, the selection ended with a strong build-up D!
aetes followed by a briel pause and a .sole note.
CHALLENGE TO AUDIENCE
The Barber selection JJl'OVided a real challenge to the college
audience as it devcloped into :a complex display of music :disssmmce. The ~·sonata, Op. ~6~' opens violently portrayin,g the
terrors and tragedies of World War II. The music was strong,
J.eud and fast-moving. By observing the audience, variGllS .facial
etepressions a>uld be seen, looks of puzzlement, concentr.ation,
MlS hewilderment, as Mr. Brownin~, through his playing, ()pened
Ule di!IOr.s m .a new world <tf music for the .audience. Some
:naet this challenge, others shook their heads and gave up trying
a. interpret the complexity of this new type of music. With
lite end of this selectio!\, Mr. Browning ended his programmed
perfarmance. The .audience gave a strong -ovation and Mr.
Brltwning showed his appreciatien y playing a nocturne by
Ch<tpin and "Fireworks" by Debussy. If the Barber selection
e.uld be m>ted as an extreme in complex classical music, the
necturne was the other -extreme in a displaying of simplicity
net seen before that night. 'This relaxed the audience as all
c.nld appreciate the beauty of a good nocturne without strainlag theirs minds. "Fireworks" by Debussy "snapped" the
