Ho111eeo1ili11g 1942 •••• (For our editorial we submit this piece of writing given to us by a former CST( student now in the arm ed Forces.- Edi tor)

F:tll is in the ai r and Halloween .brings to us this yea r familiar sounJs of another g lorious homecoming at CSTC. The rustle of leaves intermin­~les with the so und o f merrimakin g and sweet music as the Pointers join ,n the an nu al fa ll festival of joy. These a re the days which be long to the youth and we who are away long to be back w ith our Alma Mate, and (Clebrate and. cheer the team on to anot her vi cto ry. However, this yea r many of us wdl not be able to make our way to the Point for this ga la oc­-!-"'S1on altho~gh yo u may be sure th at our hea rts are with you. ,· This fall will be a lot different from fa ll s for many yea rs pas t and I ·hope forever to come. Our boys arc again on the march and giving their _a ll, for th.is great land of ours, in order th at we and the people who fo llow ·us may live as our conscience directs, and not as so me half-crazed power ·barons would have us li ve. Yes. we wish the boys to play the game well, to get ' ln and fight, and most of :tll, to win ." H owever, be spo rts and if you

:shoul d lose th en it ca n ·neve r be sa id that we d id not play the game wel l. In war there is no game, and there are no rul es excep t o ne, that is to win . If we fumble the ball and lose the play here, we a re finished and there will he littl e mercy shown, so ours is .. to do 9r to die".

After it is a ll over and we aga in resume the ways of peace, we can also return and help ce lebrate other homecomings. There will be big jobs to do in America after the war and those in co llege today wi ll have their chance to help in the reconstruction after. Direct a ll you, effo rts to that end and we in America will continue to ce lebrate as in the past and keep our land free with f reedoms' Four. Good luck Stevens Point and may 1942 be the best homecoming eve r.

to meet wartime needs a re now un· der way in many American schoo ls, states this article condensed from Publishers' Weekly, Sept. 26, 1942. Quite suddenly, America has had to rea lize that one of the most serious bottlenecks it had to face was insuf­fi cient knowledge of a wide variety of the languages used on the fight­ing and propaganda fronts . The armed forces woke up rather late to do much about the impending shortage of language ski !Is ; then they started phoning private agen ­-:ies to find out where 50 Americans with good Japanese cou ld be found by "next Monday". There are ac­tually o nly 100 non-Japanese Ameri­can ci ti zens who have a real com· mand of Japa nese, and it wi ll be some time before the 300 or more students now taking the language

OSHKOSH FOES IN GAME .SATURDAY From The Loek e r Room

~ /iHuH.'f Kulid.aJ. cu,J, /a.ch R~ The twenty third annual home­

coming will be ce lebrated on the c.entral S.tate campus Saturday. Be· gining with " hobo day" on Friday and concluding with the dance Satur­day evening, this year's homecoming will be remembered for many years to come. W/it h the student council supervising and promoting al l of the activities, the celebration will be a 100% student project. President H ansen gave the council the signal to go ahead and take over and we are very .sure that he will not regret his decision. The students will show that they can assume responsibil ities and fullfi l them. Si nce 1919 when homecoming was inaugurated, the Po in ters have won eight games, lost twelve and tied two. Homecoming was not held in 1929 because Pont played all of its games away from home.

This wi ll be the f ifth time that our traditional rivals from Oshkosh wi ll furnish the homecom ing oppo· sit ion. T he last time they pe rformed on Schmeeck le Field was on Octo· ber 12, 1940 and they went hoine with a 12-0 setback. Ted Fritsch kicked two field goals and Frankie Koehn went over for a touchdown. Fr itsch made the goals from the 23 and 29 yard li nes. Incidentally, Ted is leading the Pro league in the num­ber of field goa ls. This was the first time that Point won a homecoming game since 1934 and the T itans we re also the victims. Oshkosh hasn't beaten Centra l State on the grid iron since 1930. They played a tie game in 1936. T he Titans have not won a confe rence game since 1936. They have been beaten in fou r sta rts th is yea r. They have lost 24 games in

I Student Sparring I THORNS TO THE STl:JDENT

COUNCIL FOR THE ABSOLUTE­LY LOUSY \V/AY IN WHICH THE CLASS ELECTIONS \'I/ERE HELD '

Most glaring erro r was seen in the selection of those who were in charge of the balloting. I saw at least four ca ndidates for offices in direct control of the ballot boxes. This is not an attempt to question th e honesty of those people. It is stated in the By-Laws of the Council and should be evident to all that it just is NOT right to have this sit ua­tion . Such la x supervision of elec­tions cannot be let go unnoticed 11

We students have a right to expect that the Council ca rry out the elec­tions according to Hoyle.

D ea r Alumni. Farnlty and Students,
