Activities of the Student Council got under way last fall with a Freshman Mixer held during days of registration. The dance served the purpose of acquainting the new students. Within the first six weeks class elections were supervised by this organization; students were appointed to the school bus, athletic, allocation, and social committees; and a program for student lounge responsibility was established. Homecoming was a big event this year with the Student Council planning the various activities under the leadership of the Homecoming chairman, Charles Bart, and Council president. Merlin Brunner. Second semester got under way as representatives were sent to Milwaukee to observe the National Student Association for evidence as to whether Central State should join. The World Student Service Fund sent a plea for money for needy students in other lands. The Council answered by sponsoring a dance. PRESIDENT MERLIN BRUNNER A well-pleased crowd attended the Valentine Dance, a yearly social affair sponsored by the Student Council. Besides all these activities, the members have been working on the student handbook that will serve as a guide for new students. Student Council OFFICERS President...... Vice-President.

1948' Big Three. Sror.orscn, luetten. Whitney Pointer night Preparing for circulation Pointer Where’s the editorial I wrote for this issue? Look in the wastebasket, that’s where we file stuff like that. Gotta keep up our standards ya know . . . ! One of the typists hasta leave early tonight, she’s gotta date. Ya? . . . where’d she get it? Hey, Sisley, don’t slop coffee all over that final copy; Worzalla’s has a hard enough time to read it as it is. Wake up Beilke, this headline hasta be changed. The sports editor says POINT LOST” is too blunt. The above quotations are typical of the conversation and hubbub that occurs in the Pointer office every Monday evening as a dozen or more assorted editors, business managers, typists, advisers and beginning devils” prepare the copy for Thursday's issue of the Pointer. The nine hundred students and faculty members who tread the path to the Pointer office ticket window every Thursday for the weekly information sheet little realize the great amount of time, effort, and mental pain that is expended in its production. The Pointer is a leader among the publications at CSTC. (Second only to the Iris—Copy Editor.) We find this an excellent way to express all phases of student opinion.
