1981-1982 DMLC Messenger Vol. 72

WITH THE LORD BEGIN THY TASK

by Naomi Rapp

Staff Writer This year 777 students have enrolled at DMLC to either enter into or continue with their preparation for the full-time minisll)'. Together they expres­ sed their commitment to the Lord and His work at the college's opening service, held Sunday, August 23. President Huebner, serving as liturgist led the assembly in worship. The sermon. delivered by Paator Reuben Reimers of St. Paul's, North Mankato. centered on the God-pleasing decision to offer oneself in service to the Lord.An important part of the service was devoted to the installation of two additional instructors. which was perfnr111ed by Pastor E. Knief.

Chairman of the DMLC Board of Control.

The newest faculty member in the classroom is Professor Mark Lenz, who has an interest­ ing background.Born and raised in Delano, Minnesota. he at­ tended high school here on

campus when it was known as Dr. Martin Luther High School.

He graduated in 1961. After con­ tinuing his education at North­ western College and Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary, he received

West St. Paul for four and a hall years. Just before accepting the call to DMLC. he was serving a mission congregation in Urbana, Illinois. Professor Lenz presently teaches religion to the sopho-

time 't'-ith his family. He and his wife, Esther. have three children: Tim. 11; Pam, 10: and Jeremy, 7.

The other instructor installed at the opening service was Miss Diane Duchow, who since that time has become Mrs. Thomas Quick ( congratulations!). She attended the public grade school and high school in her hometown of Marshfield, Wisconsin, after which she went on to receive two bachelor degrees in music at the University of Wisconsin at Steven's Point. Mrs. Quick was a student at DMLC last semester and also during swnmer school.

in order that she might be called to serve as a temporary piano instructor this fall. Although this i s her first teaching experience, Mrs. Quick's knowledge and ability in the field of music are quite extensive. She has been in­ volved in many musicals, orchestras. and wind ensembles: attended and counseled v;irious college music camps; and, be­ sides piano. plays organ. clarinet, and bassoon. Among her hobbie.-­ are caring for plants, compo�ing pieces of music. and trying new and exotic recipes.

Staff Writer The mention of a recital does not necessarily bring a stampede of students to the auditorium.

However, more people should consid�r it. Maybe some recitals do become tedious, but I am sure all would abrree that Miss Kres­ nicka's narration of her pieces was quite exciting. In fact one might say it was really exciting. an expression of instrumental talent On September I 6, Judith Kres­ nicka began her organ recital with Marla zart. Aithough this piece was a model for counter• point music. being a landmark in the 14<XJ's, she wished to express this seldom played monument.

Miss Kresnic:ka's program

mainly consisted of the pieces she played for her graduation recital lhis summer. After re­ ceiving her bachelor's degree in music at Aiverno College in Milwaukee. Wisconsin. she came to DMLC and has b�n teaching since 1965. Last year Miss Kres· nicka took a leave of absence to . earn her Masters degree at Iowa University. Jt was for this gradua­ tion that an organ recital was required.

The climax of the recital was the Litanies which ended Judy Kresnicka's concert. Recitals such as this one are memorable to the artist as well as lhe lis­ teners.We hope she will remain a great help to the ruture teachers as an instructor of organ.

Come one and all and read about our very own D.M.LC. Centen­ nial Slims.

One day, my news digging editor summoned me to the task of discovering who or what the Centennial Slims are. Alter my diligent r�search and inter­ viewing. I headed back to :ny editor with my information. My

next mission is to inform all of }'.'OU about this energetic group of women.

The Centennial Slims came into existence this Fall. Sue Ann KJenetz and a group ol friends thought exercising would be alot more fun if they'd tone their muscles up together. Several times a week the women got together and did continuous stretching exercises. At the end of t-ach gathering Sue told her

by Judy Detikat Staff Writer Out of the eight hundred or so people on this campus, I seri­ ously wonder how many of us have met Miss Daley. To most of us that name doesn't even ring a bell ... yet.

Miss Daley grew up in S�ough­ ton. Wisconsin.After graduating

Miss Daley

from Bethany Junior College.she attended Mankato State Univer· sity.She began her work leaching grades one to eight at Mt. Olive in Mankato. Later she moved down to first grade. After six years. Miss Daley went to St. Paul where she taught primary grades at Im­ manuel for eight years.Then she left Minnesota for St John's in Waterloo, Wisconsin, where she taught for three years.

Last year Miss Dale)! went back to school at the University of Wisconsin- Madison to get her Masters Degree in Library Science. She now works in tht> circulation department of the DMLC Library. She also works with the periodicals and vertical file and will be involved with the inter-library loan program when that gets underway.

Miss Daley lives in Centennial Hall where she serves as house• mother for about one hundred eight girls.She likes to listen to good music and read British detective stories in ht"• i-pare time. She enjoys her work in the church. Welcome to the DMLC family. Miss Daley!

friends to bring a friend next time they'd meet.

The Centennial Slims have now grown to an average of thirty women. They meet in Centennial (this is how their group got its name) in the gym from Monday to Thursday every week at 9:30 P.M. For thirty minutes the women do contin• uous stretching exercises to help tone up their muscles. When I asked Sue if the women enjoyed

exercising this way, she said "They like it so much that they can't wait till the next time we meet.Exercising together is alot more fun then doing it alone in your room." Sue also said that ElaJne McCullough has been · working with her, so that when she (Sue) goes out student teaching the program can con­ tinue.--rhe Messenger wishes all you energetic people a good muscle-toning year.

EDITORIAL

ASi I Si EE -IT

Miriam Zimmermann Editor-in-Chief The children we teach in the future should be considered in our education everyday. Having chosen a desired profession, we will spend another (perhaps first or last) academic year on this campus. I would like to suggest, however, that already we take a moment in retrospect to capture those first few days of school. The traditional statements, " I will not procrastinate" and "I will faithfully carry out my assignments" may well have portrayed your feelings as you woke up on the first day of class. We want to start off with the proper attitude in hope for a successful year which is indeed well and good If we all could hold to those feelings throughout the year, we would be successful, but we know how that story goes. So let me add another statement which may help us stick to the course of school; the statement of purpose with which I opened this editorial.

One day, as teachers, there will be children entrusted to our care and supervision. No matter how remote that may seem now, we ought to approach our work with our future dass in mind. If we can establish good habits now, it will be easier to become diligent teachers. We must learn now what will be needed in our career. We must be faithful with what God gives us now in order to be faithful in what He will grant us later.

Many of us will walk into our first classroom with the same attitudes and feelings as we did this year as a student How long will it last? With faithful habits and some prayer, we will start now and grow through the year. We will teach with the effectiveness of a prepared student as well as a prepared teacher.

NEW UIM HISTORY AND HIS MONUMENT

by Greg Boll Staff Writer With this article, we begin the second year of our exploration of New Ulm's colorful past. Recall last year how we travelled through the founding of this tiny German burg. and watched it grow through the bloody years of the Sioux Wars in the early 1860's. This time, we'll take a quick jog over to Hermann Monument - that famous landmark which bas stood so majestically for almost ninety years now.

Before we look at the actual building and history of our New Ulm Hermann, let's go back a ways into history to the time of the birth and life of Christ. It was during this time that the real Hermann ( also known as Arminius) flourished in the wilds of what is present-day Germany.

Hermann was born in 18 B.C., and, at a young age, was captured and taken to Rome as a hostage. While in Rome, he was made a member of the Roman army, and even obtained Roman citizenship from the emperor. In time, the Romans sent him back to his homeland with the mistaken notion that he was on their side, and would assist them in the takeover of the barbarian tribes.

When he returned, Hermann was made a Germanic chief. He im: nediately set '\bout to unify the tribes for battle against the Romans. The two armies met at the famed Teutoberg Forest in 9 AD. Hermann and his troops won a decisive victory. flveyears later, the Romans were back, only to be defeated by Hermann again. Finally, in 16 AD., they were able to pull a victory over the Germanic tribes. Hermann continued to gain prominence as a leader in his homeland, until wary associates, fearing his growing power, assassinated him in about 19 AD. To future generations of Germans. Hermann stood high as a symbol of nationalism and ded-

Greg Boll REAGAN BUDGET CUTS THREATEN EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM reprint from New Ulm Journal

by Greg Boll Staff Writer By this time, many college students and their parents throughout America have found out that a considerable number of the funds which were available in the past for student aid either have been slashed drastically or simply are no longer in existence.

Indeed, as of late, events at both the state and federal levels threaten our very educational system. ln Minnesota. the financial crunch has thrown several school districts into literal

financial chaos. In higher education, the entire nation stands to lose thousands of students due to financial aid cutbacks.

I am sure that many will agree with me that Ronald Reagan's November triumph was indeed impressive. Nevertheless, the victory was not a mandate to push our educational system back 10 years; nor was it a mandate to keep out those who cannot completely fend for themselves in the face of the rising costs of higher education.

All signs show that, regardless of the consistency of his man-

date, Mr. Reagan will get what he wants. However, I suspect that in the coming months, it will become clear that many of his proposals will do more harm than good. Many who now support him will learn that his proposals will affect them very directly, Reagan's basic package has recently cleared the U.S. Congress. Among the effects of this will be a 25 percent minimum cut in federal elementary and secondary education programs; a drastic revision in the Guaranteed Student Loan Program, ( continued on p. 3)

PART SIX HERMANN DER CHERUSKER

ication to the preservation of the fatherland In 1875, the appreciative country built a large monument to bis memory at Detmold, near the sight of his first encounter with the Romans.

This monument. the big brother of our own, stands yet today as a staunch reminder of German patriotism.

When the Germans immigrated to America. many of them brought with them the memory of this great folk hero. To show their admiration. they established the Sons or Hermann Lodges, with the first being founded in New York in 1840. The first Hermann Lodge established in Minnesota was at St Paul in 1870. Six years later, the grand lodge of the Order of the Sons of Hermann was founded. An auxiliary for ladies, known as the Order of Hermann's Sisters. was also established.

A New Ulm Hermann Lodge member, architect and builder Julius Bemdt. was the frrst to come up with the idea of a Hermann Monument in America He received approval for th•? idea at the lodge's national .:-onvention in Philadelphia in 1885, and soon plans for the project were underway. But where to put the monument? Cities all over America wanted the statue to be located in their boundaries, including Milwaukee. St Paul, and Minneapolis. The matter was finally "settled'' when it was agreed to put the statue in the town that thought of the idea in the first place - New Ulm. Building began in 1887, with the cornerstone being laid the following year. However, lack of sufficient funds caused considerable delays in the construction of the monument F'mally, in 1893, the supreme lodge was forced to make an 8cent levy _pn every member in order to raise several thousand dollars to complete the project This caused more squabbling.

The Wisconsin branch of the

lodge even seceded in protest of the levy. Four years later, the 102 foot high monument was, for the most part, completed The celebration that took place at the dedication in September of 1897 must indeed have been something. The New Ulm paper from the opening days or festivities tells it well: "Never before has New Ulm experienced such a wave of excitement as it did on Saturday and Sunday the occasion of the dedication or the monument to Hermann. The weather was exceptionally fine: it couldn't have been better. In consequence decorations were increased and throughout the two days the main street was one mass of flags, bunting, streamers, and wreaths. And such a crowd!

Early Saturday morning the citizens of the surrounding country began to pour into town and by ten o'clock the streets were dense with vehicles and moving humanity. To say that there were ten thousand people within the city's gates is not exaggerating it in the least ...."

For three days the city celebrated with parades. bands. guns and battery, appearances by the governor and other high officials, pageants, Roman chariots, and beer. Thousands flocked to see the beautiful new monument overlooking the valley.

Since those grand days in which it was dedicated, Hermann has become New Vim's best known landmark, appearing in books, newspaper, and even on beer cans. Hermann's Brau was a popular beer here for a number of years. There is even a pageant play about Hermann, called "Herrmannstraum" (or "Hermann's Dream"), which is performed each night of New Ulm's annual Heritagefest Today, Hermann continues to stand high as a symbol of freedom, independence, and unity. May his spirit of patriotism never die!

A TASTE OF HONG KONG

by F1orence Li

Guest Writer The Messenger thought it would be beneficial for the students of DMLC to learn about Hong Kong. One of our students, Florence LI, agreed to give us some of her insights into her homeland In the following article. she answers questions in hopes of drawing a clear picture of Hong Kong for us. Florence writes as she sees this land and The Messenger thanks her for the effort 'Florence' is not the name given by my parents. Chinese names are different from the English or American names. My name is 'Siu Fong.' My family name is 'Ll.¡ We write the family name first, then the other - Li Siu Fong. We do not omit the middle name. Most Chinese have three words for their names including their surnames.

I got the name 'Florence' when I was twelve. My eldest brother chose this name for me and 1 liked having this as my English name too. It is because I have some sort of respect for Florence Nightingale. She cared for the wounded soldiers during wartime. She sacrificed herself for the good of others. Although being a nurse is not my career, I would like to have her spirit, in serving people around me.

I was born in Hong Kong and brought up in a typical Chinese family. I h~ve four brothers and one sister. I am the youngest at home. I went to primary school, secondary school and the twoyear College of Education in Hong Kong. After that, I taught social studies in Immanuel Lutheran English Middle School for two years. This is my first time to come am! study here.

What was the hardest thing to adjust to?

:saying goodbye to the place where I was born and brought up. It indicated that I could not see my Dad and Mom, brothers and sister, and friends for at least three years. It also indicated that I should use English to express myself instead of the mother tongue. To me, these two things

myself that I should be thankfuJ to God for all the food I eat everyday. Lots or people in the world do not have any choice for food They are starving.

Of course, some of the food I usually eat is different. It is Chinese style. It only tastes dif. ferently because of different

for "Yum Cha" which literally means "drink tea" but it is an idiom for a Chinese-version of cafeteria where we sit at a table and select from trays of food carried around by waiters and waitresses. We pay according to the number and type of plates and baskets on our table at the end of the meal. The most common dishes are Har Kau (shrimp dumpling). Shiu Mai ( meat dumpling), Ngau Yuk Mai (streamed beef ball), Kai Bau Tsai (stream~ chicken bun), and Cha Chun Kuen (fried spring roll).

What are your hobbies?

My hobbies are not unlike most people in Hong Kong. I enjoy reading books and listening to soft music.

What kind of weather are you used to?

We have warm temperatures throughout the whole year. ln summer, the temperature is around 27 degrees C to 30 degrees C (80 degrees F to 86 degrees F). In winter, the temperature is around 9 degrees C to 14 degrees C ( 48 degrees F to 57 degrees F). I have never seen snow. This year will hopefully be my first time to see snow. I am sure it will be very exciting.

FLOREN C E LI are the hardest things to adjust to.

How is our food compared to what you are used to?

In Hong Kong, I can have different kinds of food to choose from. They may be Chinese, Western, Korean, Japanese and even Malaysian food. I do not have much difficulty getting used to the food here. The food I ate in Hong Kong is often similiar to the food here. In fact, the food here is pretty good. I always remind

ways of cooking. We usually eat plain rice with different dishes shared by the whole family. We have two or three dishes and a soup for each meal My favorite dish is sweet and sour pork. It is cubes of pork rolled in flour and egg batter, deep fried in peanut oil, and served with a sauce made from bell peppers ( or pineapple or bamboots), water, corn starch, tomato, ketchup, vinegar, brown sugar and salt.

For breakfast, we usually go

Introduce us to Hong Kong, none of us have ever been there.

To most of the people here, Hong Kong is just a small island which is densefy populated. It is, but not just one island; ther e are 236 of small islands plus a peninsula connected to Mainland China. It is about l 000 square kilometers, though much of that is still uninhabited, while the remaining parts are among the most densely populated places in the world We still have a lot of beautiful scenery such as the

Victoria Harbour and the outlying islands.

Hong Kong is a wonderful place with fusion of &1st and West cultures. You can see people wearing Eastern and Western styles of clothing. You can taste different kinds of food from various countries. You can also enjoy the Eastern and Western music in concert halls.

Hong Kong is also a place of great contrast. You can see modern and old forms or transportation means on the road and sea For example, mass transit railways vs. trams and trains, and ocean liners vs. sampans. You can find modern skyscrapers and old huts. You can see very rich people and very poor people. too. Some people in Hong Kong live in small apartments ( many of which are a tittle larger than our dorm rooms) with a whole family of six to ten members without many complaints.

Students in Hong Kong have to sit for many competitive examinations before they can study in the universities of Hong Kong.

Each year only Len thousand students can get into the universities of Hong Kong out of the thirty thousand students in matriculation courses.

There are still a lot of differ ences between here and Hong Kong. What I have said about Hong Kong only shows my view of it. It cannot be regarded as all there is to know about Hong Kong, because I am only one out of five million people. I thank God for giving me the chance to stay here an experience something different that l cannot experience in Hong Kong. I also hope that you can have a chance to visit Hong Kong to feel what Hong Kong is for yourself.

(continued from p. 2) making it a possibility that higher education will drift back to the days when it was only for the wealthy (the total loan volume will be cut in half. making it difficult or impossible for numerous low- to moderateincome families to send their kids to college); massive cuts in research budgets(and. by the way, much of this research provides direct benefits to industry and the national economy): a doubling of postal rates for educational institutions; a 50 percent slash of school lunch funds (so that now it will cost most families more money to provide their kids with lunches than they will save as a result of the Reagan tax cut).

Besides these sad effects, more than l 00,000 teachers throughout America stand to lose their jobs ( ah, yes, in the long run, more unemployment!) and as many as a million students who now attend college will be forced either to drop out or delay their education.

If you voted for Ronald Reagan, did you realize you were voting for this? Probably not You voted for him because you wanted to eliminate welfare system fraud, strengthen tne

national defense, and basically, give someone new a chance to run this country. You didn't vote to take money out of your own pocket. did you? And yet, if you earn less than $100,000 a year, you stand to lose under the Reagan package.

Three of Minnesota's U.S. representatives: Sabo, Vento and Oberstar, were in support of the house budget resolution which contained cuts almost as extensive as Reagan's, but maintained sufficient funds for education to keep the system alive and well. Sadly, the other representatives, including our own Mr. Hagedorn, chose the Reagan package.Sens. Durenbergerand Boschwitz went the same route. ln other words, they voted to strip our educational system to an extent which can only foreshadow further crisis. Indeed, their votes might have been made with the thought that it would ensure their re-election.

However, I hope and suspect that there will be many Minnesotans around durin g the next years who will remind the public ol this unfortunate gutting of our priceless educational system.

GLIMPSES THROUGH CHILDREN'S EYES Children are a very special breed of the human race. They can often express words about people and objects in a way we would love to express them, but we just do not know how to, or dare to try. The Messenger would like to give everybody an insight into the talents of God's little ones. We would like to make this a very special section of the paper.

This very touching and truly realistic essay w~ written by a third grader. It was published by a newspaper in Tucson, Arizona

What ls a Grandmotber'l A grandmother is a lady who has no children of her own, so she likes other people's little girls. A grandfather is a man grandmother. He goes for walks with the boys and they talk about fishing and tractors and things like that.

Grandmothers don't have to do anything except be there.

They'r e old, so they shouldn't play hard or run. lt is enough if

they drive us to the market where the pretend horse is and have lots of dimes ready. Or ii they take us for walks, they should slow down past things like pretty leaves or caterpillars.

They should never say "Hurry up."

Usually they are fat, but not too fat to tie kid's shoes. They wear glasses and funny underwear. They can take their teeth and gums off too. It is better if they don't typewrite, or play cards except with us. They don't have to be smart, only answer questions like why dogs hate cats and how come God isn't married.

They don't talk baby talk like visitors do, because it is hard to understand. When they read to us they don't skip or mind if it is the same story again.

Everybody should try to have one, especially if you don't have television, because grandmas are the only grownups who have got time.

GOOD VIBES WITH GARY BURTON

by Wesley Steinberg Staff Wnter

In its ever-increasing zeal to bring you the finest in public entertainment, DMLC's lyceum group will soon present - for your eyes only - Gary Burton.

Dubbed "f<jng of the Vibes" by Charles Giuliano of The Real Paper, Gary Burton is the foremost vibraharpisl in American 1az2 today. He has a list of ac· complishments a mile long. including teaching and winning two Grammy Awards. His musical ability is awesome (Downbeat Magazine chose Gary as Jazzman or the Year in '68 and has named him "Best Vibisf' every year since), and his reputation stands as nothing less than fantastic. Gary Burton exemplifies the typical story of a man and his in.strumenL Many of you are undoubtedly familiar with the vibraharp, or 'Jibes. as it is most often referred to. For those of you who may have just crawled out from under a rock. a short explanation may be necessary. The vibraharp is a percussion instrument related somewhat in origin to the xylophone. Featuring metal bars and motor-driven resonators, the vibraharp is similar in design to the vibraphone (an earlier edition) in every respect save

GARY BURTON

one - its keys. The instruments now manufactured have alu• minum keys, in place of the original steel keys of the vibra• phone. This offers a much lighter, less "dinky" sound

Gary Burton began his musIcai career quite early. He first became interested in the vibraharp at age 6, when bis partmts took him to see a lady play a marimba.

At 18. healreadyhad two albums

to his credit. Before long he was playing professional gigs and working full time with the George Shearing Quintet But his biggest break came when he joined Stan Getz. who had just recorded The Girl From lpanema, the most popular tune of Getz' career.

From then on it was only a matter of time.

"That tune made it possible for us to play every place in the country. I got a lot of exposure. and that made it possible for me to start my own bands after that I found I'd become well known enough to get booked into places on the strength of my own name" (Providence Journal Bulletin).

Forming his own quartet in 1967, Gary altered the traditional jazz style to refie-.:t his own musical attitude. Always fascinated with reproducing the kind of sound pianists such as Bill Evans had always achieved. he substituted the traditional singlemallet attack of Lionel Hampton.

Milt Jackson. and virtually all other vibes players, for the more difficult double-mallet approach This method offered a wider range of dynamics. through shading and grace notes. It also made the vibes sound less like a percussion instrument and more like a piano.

Throughout tbe years. Gary

Burton has worked with many talented musicians. In 1966, he recorded what he views as his first mature album Tennessee Flrebird - produced by country star Chet Atkins.

Teaming up with his old friend.

Chick Corea, Gary recorded Crystal Silence and the Grammy-award winning Duet.

Other names such as Keith Jarrett. Jerry Hahn. Steven Sw,,llow, John Scofield and Bob Moses have helped him to develop and expand his canorous form, becoming successful with both rock and tracli• tional jazz audiences.

On his own, Gary won another Grammy for his solo album.

Alone At Last, recorded in part at the Montreaux Jazz Feslival in 1971 And if that isn't enough, he is also recognized as an lnstruc• tor of jazz education having taught at the Berklee College of Music for six years. And the list goes on On Oct. 2. DMLC will hold a Lyceum for Gary Burton and his band.

WHAT DID YOU DO TH IS S UMM ER?

by Kay Knuth Staff Writer Now that school has started again, many students begin to look back at their summer vacations and remember all the things they did Some people worked at jobs while others just took a rest and had fun. Many did both. Here's a glimpse of some students.

Diane Ruechel held down three jobs during the summer.

She sold Avon products. babysat, and did cleaning. For enjoyment she went to Marriott's Great America, went camping, and went rafting on )he Wolf River.

Mischel Ripmaster had a very helpful job. She worked as a communications clerk at a rest area in Michigan.

YOU KNOW YOU'RE A FRESHMAN

•

Professor Wulff and his bJstory buffs Those from DMLC are Beth Schibbelhut, Bridget Storey, David Leeker, and Terri Krueger.

HOW TO LOVE H ISTORY

by Terri Krueger Guest Writer We all love vacations, right?

WelL how many of you love history? If you don't love history.

I suggest you travel with Professor and Mrs. WuJff. Taking a vacation with them can make learning history fun.

This past summer four college students and I went along with the Wulfrs as we traveled through thirteen east coast states and Canada. The main goal of the trip was to see historical sights in the eastern United States.

We left on July 7th and returned home at the end o[ the month. During that four week span I saw and learned a lot of history.

We saw the actual Civil War battlefields one learns about in American Scene. Sure, the field of battle is quiet now, but the spirit of the men who fought bravely for freedom surrounds you.

We experienced so many in· teresting things that no history book could say. For instance. we saw the actual horse Stonewall Jackson was riding on when he was shot We learned to load a

cannon. Did you know it takes eight people to do it? We ate in the famous Michie's Tavern where people like Thomas Jefferson, James Monroe, James Madison, and General Lafayette stopped We observed soldier life at Fort Harrison where people actually lived history.

But I think the most fantastic thing about the trip was the feeling of excitement m seeing, walking, or driving through places where history was made.

To imagine yourself as a pioneer when driving through the Cumberland Gap, to see and walk through the house of Thomas Jefferson, to see the house Woodrow Wilson was born in, the actual spot the Jamestown colonists landed, the jail cell where Jefferson Davis was held after the Civil War, or the place where the British surrendered to the Colonies; it truly was a neat experience.

You may not enjoy reading history, but I encourage you to travel around this free. beautiful country of ours and see historical things. It will be the best history lesson you'll ever learn. It was one I'll never forgeL

As . new additions to the campus family of DMLC.. the Messenger is interested m the Freshmen class. We polled them to get some responses dealing with some of their first impressions of college. The statement.

by Dawn Rosenau The moon reached its peak on

a cool, clear evening. lt happened oo the 13th day of September.fhere were no werewolves or other weird creatures on campus. which you would expect on the night of the full moon. Instead. a small portion of the campus family was entertained by The Great Classical

Put-On. The duo consisted of Jan Boland on her trusty flute, and John Dowdall strumming on his guitar. The music dealt primarily with the Renaissance era. but

they did throw in a few current songs to the delight of everybody.

The surprise of the evening came when they were playing the piece entitled Desda Santa Cruz. All of a sudden we heard the shriek of a Brazilian bird. I checked around to make sure no 1 werewoU was in sight Lo and behold, it was only John Dowdall adding to the song.

The night ended with a small get together in the faculty room. I am sure everybody had an entertaining evening thanks to the duo of Bolansi-Dowdall

AGIANCE THE WILD(E) WORLD OF SPORTS

by Paul Wilde Sports Editor Head coach Dennis Gorsl ine and his DMLC Lancers are eagerly awaiting.the start of the 1981 football campaign. The squad is optimistic and is striving for improvement on last year's 35 slate.

The club has good reason to be optimistic with their prospects for a successful season.

Although twelve gridders will not be returning for one reason or another, twenty lettermen, including 13 experienced seniors, are back rrom last year's squad.

Coach Gorsline is also encouraged by the large freshmen turnout rlfteen freshmen are on the roster, and Gorsline is "very pleased" with their-performance thus far.

The defense has perennially been stingy, and things don't appear to be any different this year. Seniors Kurt Mueller and Paul Ryder, both of whom received honorable mention all• conference honors last season, head the linebacking corps.

Ryder is also one of the team's captains. Freshman Dan Dettmann and senior Russ Hunt will anchor the defensive end positions, while senior Mark Gilmore and frosh Joo Bu.okowsld are fighting to start at nose guard Junior Nate Sebald and freshman John Robinson lead the list of pros-

In past years. the Lancer offense has been somewhat suspected. However, this year the offense looks much improved

IANCERETIE NETTERS SET TO BUMP OFF OPPONENTS

by Paul Wilde Sports Editor The 1981 version of the DMLC Lancerette volleyball team features the return of last year's entire starting line-up. Head coach Judy Wade and N mentor Barb Leopold are hoping all the experience gained by last year's squad will result in another successful season. Last year the Lancerettes tallied an impressive 17-12 record and qualified for the state tournament Four seniors lead the list of last year's returning netters. Lori Thompson and Barb Mueller will share the captain's responsibilities. Wade remarked that Thompson is an excellent allaround player, doing everything well. Last year she led the team in service aces and was the second leading spiker. Mueller was last year's leading passer. She also is a consistent server and attacker, and is especially proficient in the backcourt, keeping hard-toretum balls in play. Carrie Waldsdun.ldt's forte aJso is passing and saving balJs. Uz Petermann' s main strength is blocking, a category inwhich she led last year's dub. She has the added advantage of being lefthanded ( are you reading. Coach Gonllne?), which helps make her a deceptive spiker.

JCrla Claumllzer is the only

junior on the roster. She is a devastating offense weapon who specializes in bruising the opponent's court She topped the list of last year's spikers.

Two key sophomores are Beth Valleskey and Lynne Bitter.

Wade commented that Valleskey is a good athlete who led last year's squad in assists. She has improved her hitting since last year. Bitter is a quick setter who also serves and passes well consistently.

The other members of this year's team art sophomores Dania Habeck, Lisa Quam, Judy Putz, Karen Greenmeier, and Chris Melso. The freshmen are Dorinda Balogh, Patti Bintz, Kellie Young, Terry Melcher, Kris Redlin, and Karen P~ppenfuss. The managers are freshmen Kristen Boswell and Amy Pappenfuss. Wade is pleased with the progress the sophomores have made.

Although the Lancerettes should be a better team than last year, their record may not show it Their schedule is brutal The Lancerettes are the smallest school in their conference, and play division ll scholarship giving schools. They must finish in either first or second place in the conference to qualify for the state tourney. Formidable state champion MacaJester, which also grabbed seventh place in

tion all-conference pick last year, returns to call the signals for the offense. Herrewig is also one of the three seniors sharing the captain's duties. Sophomore fullback Rollie Timm and wingbacks Marie Eternlck, Steve Toth, and Steve Frilze will be carrying the pigskin. Toth, who also was an honorable mention all-conference choice last year, and Eternick are both seniors. while Fritze is a freshman. On the receiving end of Herrewig's aerials wilJ be the sure-handed split ends Scott Huebner, a senior. and Eric Ziel, a junior.

However, an offense can't be effective without a good offen• sive line, the members of which are often overlooked by sports fans. Here to open gaping holes •for the running backs and to give Herrewig time to unleash his aerial assault are five linemen: senior tackles Dave Kaisor and Mike Bulzow, the latter being one of the tri-captains who also was an all-conference selection last year, sophomores Kevin Kutz and John Blievernlcht at guards; and junior center Lee Rodewald.

The 1981 Lancer eleven will be a team sporting a new look this year. They also are enthusiastic. and should generate plenty of excitement I strongly urge the fans to come to the home games and help the young men representing our school to achieve their goals.

nationals, is also on the schedule.

The l..ancerettes are a good, talented volleyball team. Right now their passing and blocking need improvement, but they should improve with time. Their first few conference matches will be crucial in determining their fate. My expert (?) prognosis

(how's that for a word, Howard?) is that they should have some high caliber, spine-tingling matches in what should be a good season. I encourage the student body to show its support of the team and cheer them on at all the home matches.

The men's cross country team, coached by fourth year runner Jim Rademan, is coming off of their finest year ever The team has their work cul out for them this year, however. for only two runners returned from last years squad.

Tom Kirkman looks like the top runner. Tom finished 3rd in conference competition a year ago in addition to being named a National Little College AIJAmerican.

Jim Rademan finished sixth in last year's conference meet and hopes to move up this season.

Sophomores Tom Rouce and Jason Muench are first year competitors who look to be greay additions to the squad The team hopes to pick up at least one additional runner, since five are necessary for team competition. If nobody else fills the open spot, the four will probably compete as individuals.

It should be a fun year. The determination evident in the team's members should also make this season a successfuJ one.

THE MYSTERY OF THE ENTHUSIASTIC RUNNER

by Stephanie Scherzberg Staff Writer Yes, I was the one assigned to find the reason why someone would be enthusiastic about running. The only clue I had was that it dealt with the DMLC cross country team, who met every day at 4:00 p.m.

1was off to the student union. but I was too late. The only person around was the manager Donna Kaye, so I questioned her. She gave me th names of the fifteen hardy women who survived out of the original nineteen.

They are Kristin Arnold, Marybeth Graber, Sally Jacob, Becky Jaster, Janice Kant, Carolyn Koeller, Jeanne Kurth,

Jeanne

Matuszak,

Wendy Palmtag, Cheryl Reno, Cathy Rubin, Stephanie Scherzberg, Beth Teuteberg, Judy Wetzel, and Katie Martin.

The next day I returned to the ..,

union, so I could meet the big man, Coach Boehlke. There he was all set to run. r was about to ask him a few questions, but he started to run. You won't believe it, but I had to run three miles before he would answer any questions!

I ... I . . . I was finally able to catch my breath and get some information. Coach Boehlke reported that the runners from this year can beat the time of our third place runner from last year.

The goal of the team is to beat more than six schools.

I was puzzled at how cross country was set up, so be explained it very carefully. Coach Boehlke said, "First of all, you have a team consisting of five to twenty women. The team tries to get the lowest score possible.

(That is how you win.) You get points according to how you cross the finish line. The first

person gets one point. the second person two points, etc.

The first five runners' scores from each team are added together tor the score of the winning team."

Next I was sent to find Wendy Palmtag, who is the captain of the team. She would be the one to help me solve the mystery. r found her, and she was very helpful. The first meet is at Golden Valley on Friday, September 18.

I asked Wendy, "How can a runner be enthusiastic?"

She said, "It takes bard work to be a runner. You work with your own talent and encourage others to develop their talents. It takes spirit and will-power to run from three to five miles. I love to run, and so do the girls on the team.

We just have ENTHUSIASM!"

HOMECOMING 1981

by Wesley Steinberg Staff Writer Greetings!

I have been asked (if you could call it that) to present an account of the DMLC Homecoming festivities for 198 I. What a challenge! With only five tests to study for - interspersed with various overdue reading assignments too numerous to count (I simply refer to the number as pi) - my illustrious editor wants me to write an article which takes an entire week to review. I am honored. I am also crazy!

No report on Homecomin~ would be complete without first mentioning the ultimate in academic entertainment - the Freshmen Initiation. (Otherwise known as the Great Raz!) The traditional duty of initiation belongs to the Sophomore Class. Being a member of this fine class, I feel we carried out our responsibilities with zeal, following faithfully in the footsteps of our predecessors - the originators of the Spanish

Sergeants can't remember? And how many Freshmen can say they've enjoyed the thrill of serenading the ladies residing in HighJand/Hillview while drowning in a torrent of water? Not many I should say.

Usually, the Freshmen are pretty decent about letting us humiliate them during Homecoming Week (not a bad excuse. hey?), and most of the time they perform their obligations graciously. Of COl!rse there are always a few wise guys in the crowd. For them we convene the infamous Kangaroo Court. If found guilty(and no one is found innocent!), the offenders have various morbid duties lo discharge. By further demeaning these clowns ( whether male or

CARNIVAL STI LL ON SCH ED ULE

by Kurt Rosenbaum Staff Wr1ter How many of you remembered to mark the dates November 13l 5 on your calendar? On those dates. the DMI.C musical "'Carnival~ will be presented in the auditorium. The pt'rformances will take plact at ; :30 p.m. on all three dates with a Sunday matinee beginning at 2:00 p.m.

Progress in rehearsals has been good. Cast members have everything memorized already, so now the polishing can be done. Sets are being built and painted and slowly but surely. the show is coming to life. The orchestra has been havin~

regular practices also. and the two together should combine for an entertaining production.

Director Anne Demsien had this to say about the progress of the show: 'Things seem to be going pretty well. We had a few problems at the beginning with the loss of our practice pianist, but that problem is solved. We still need a lot of work. but it is coming along."

Tickets are on sale every Tuesday through Thursday from i :30-9~JO p.m. Prices are SI.SO, $2.00, and $2.50. Hurry and reserve your tickets ~OW and keep those dates open! You will not be sorry.

The Pep Club, in its infinite wisdom. decided it would be a nifty idea to continue the custom of designating certain themes for each day of the week. Thus the perpetuation of Spirit Week.

Monday: Formal Day - Students wore their very best lo classes, which kind of freaked out the Profs. They had the hardest time picking one another out of all the polyester wandering aimlessly about the corridors. ( How about that line, Professor Buss? It's simply pregnant with figures of speech!) But they finally figured it out If the suit coming toward them ( another one) coordinated, it was obviously a student.

Tuesday Sock & Hat Day Students put on crazy socks and gaudy hats to give anyone looking at them an instant headache.

Hats were worn at all times and in all places. while socks were only worn on the feet. (Oh! I get it! A joke, right?)

Wednesday: Ribbon Day This one was a real corker! All female personnel were given white ribbons (of TP stock) to wear somewhere on their per!,Qns. They were not' allowed to speak to anyone of the male persuasion; if they did, their ribbons were forfeited to the guy who got her to talk. The man who collected the most ribbons would be thereafter known as Mr. Irresistible. (The only word which could adequatelydescribe the way most of us men felt about this situation is . • • peaceful! Nuff

said)

DMLC BANDS

Thursday: Space-Out DayThis day reallv brought out the student's inner selves. Dressed in the craziest outfits to be found (or forged) anywhere, these people wandered about the campus between classes, scaring little squirrels into comas from merely the sight of them as they passed by. (The poor things looked so pitifuJ dropping from the trees like that.) The reason for the costumes was to kindJe spirit in the hearts of their fellows. Unfortunately, all it did was lo kindle nausea in the stomachs of the onlookers.

Friday; Color Day- After the previous day's shock. this theme was a welcome relief ( especially for the squirrels!). All students were required to wear ( continued on page 3)

by Judy Delikat Staff Wnter The first quarter IS usually the hardest for any organization.

Band is no exception. But, as always, the bands have been working very hard The Symphonic Concert Band and the WUld Ensemble gave a combined concert on October 15th at 8:00 p.m. Highlights of the program were Richard Rogers' Victory At Sea, a collection of incidental music from a 1V show by the same name, and Englis h Dance• for Band by Malcolm Arnold, a collection of dances

based on English folk songs.

Many different styles of music were represented - everything from theme and variations on an old melody in "La folla" Varlatlon11 by James Niblock to the modem harmony in Brent Heisinger's Hymn for Band A few concert marches were also played as well as the Leroy Anderson version of The Irish Wu herwoman. On the whole. it was a well-rounded concert According to Prof. Hermanson this concert is the hardest to prepare for. Besides the fact that first quarter is the time for ad1ust-

ment to the new year, there.are only about fifteen rehearsals before the concert, and players come fresh ( and maybe a little rusty) from summer vacation. He thinks ifs a good time for a concert, though. It enables the bands to perfonn in four concerts and gives the seniors who are student teaching during second quarter an opportunity to participate before they have to leave.

With the exception of the percussion section, there is a pretty good balance between the instruments this year. The per-

cussion section lost one senior player who took an emergency call this year. New recruits have done their best to fill in, but the section wasn't quite strong enough to put together a marching band Prof. Hermanson is happy with the work they've done, though.

"They're a good bunch of kids,'' says Prol Hermanson of the band, "really nice to work with." Loyal band members like we have should provide some great band music in future concerts this year.

EDITORIAL SOAP OPERAS AT DMLC

Greg Boll

by Miriam Zimmermann Editor-in-Chief The subject I pursue in this editorial is certain to be of interest to many students as well as others at DMLC. It is my desire and intent to approach the subject in an open minded fashion. That as an introduction, I will launch into the question "WHY ARE SOAP OPERAS SO PREVALENT AT DMLC?" I do not wish to decree myself an authority on the matter, but would rather like to bring the subject under the light of speculation.

The minor chord is struck when a familiar voice booms over the television set. "Stay tunea tomorrow for the next episode of ..." Quite clearly, this is a stereotyped version of a soap opera Most of them do not use this mythical technique. After all, soap operas are real - right?

Perhaps it is safer to say they portray what really happens out there in the world I'm-certain that the episodes of a soap opera do reenact real life to a certain extent. The fornication. lying, killing, cheating, and the like are native to this sinful world But there are good relationships and civil. caring human beings on these shows, too. I see the extremes, but whlch one outweighs the other?

There is sin in every aspect of life. I am not suggesting that one turns off the soap opera to turn to a less sinful activity. I am also not suggesting that soap operas are actually sinful. Rather let me question soap operas as a good form of entertainment Those involved ought to examine the degree of value these programs provide.

I have talked with people who tell me they can and do distinguish the right from the wrong in a soap opera As Christians, this is most certainly our duty. But being exposed to this everyday may cause a lax feeling to overcome us. Certainly we know what is wrong, but each time it may become a softer wrong. We can easily become used to sin. Our conscience may become dull allowing sin not to seem harsh. Outwardly we say, ''Yes, that is wrong." After a while we may say, "Oh, that happens everyday." Then it has become the part of us that is used to sin. One often hears, "But if one leads a sheltered life, it will just be harder for him when he realizes what the world is really like. Face up to what is shown on television." One does not need a form of entertainment like a soap opera to bring him up to date on what is happening in the world. The real thing, sad as it is, comes up enough in the news and in newspapers. One does not have to sit in front of a television soap opera to be updated It is a temptation which may do greater harm than good.

Some people harmlessly watch just to take a moment out of their busy day to relax. It can be entertaining and may take one's thoughts off daily activities. This certainly is true; however, could there be a better way, a way which will not take away the ugliness of sin? Does the ritual of seeing a soap opera, whenever one has the chance, provide real value? Does it do more than entertain? Judge foryourself. The next time you watch a soap opera ask yoursell what it is doing for you.

ANWAR SADAT 1918-1981

by Greg Boll Staff Writer Once again, the assassin has struck down a world leader. We ask ourselves, "Why? Who did it?

When will it happen next?" This past year has seen a host of assassinations and would-beassassinations, ranging from John Lennon to Ronald Reagan and John Paul 11. Now, it has happened again. Tragic, oh, so very tragic.

The world lost a great leader when it lost Anwar Sadat He tried for eleven years to heal the internal and external wounds of a war-tom Egypt To many, he was the very embodiment of the peace he so desired.

He was born in the poor mudbrick village of Mit Abu! Korn in 1918. From little on, he possessed a burning desire to serve his country. He worked his way up in the Egyptian Army, and even suffered harsh imprisonment during World War ll for his alleged contacts with the Nazis. f'mally, in l 950, he joined the Free Officers Organization, under the leadership of his friend, Lieutenant Colonel Gamal Abdel Nasser. He played an active role in the 1952 overthrow of Egypt-

AS I SEE IT

ian king Farouk. and became influential in the new Nasser regime. In time. President Nasser named him to the vicepresidency, a post he held until Nasser's sudden death in 1970.

Following Nasser's death, Sadat became acting president under the Egyptian Constitution.

He had trouble consolidating his leadership, and was finally forced to dismiss and imprison his rivals. Once bis position was secure, he went to work on a lullscale cleanup of Egypt He deleted the powers of the secret police, threw out the large mass of Soviet troops stationed there, and began preparations for war with an aggressive Israel.

He launched his first attack on Israel on October 6, I 973. The resulting squabble caused considerable concern in the proIsrael U.SA President Richard Nixon sent Secretary of State Henry Kissinger to visit Sadat The two got along well and soon Sadat consented to the making of a disengagement agreement with Israel. The formal agreement was made in January of 1974, and was followed by months of talks

REOPENING THE DOORS

by Greg Boll Staff Writer In recent months, there has been an impressive revival of interest in Rock & Roll's past.

The "Stars On 45" Beatles' Medley and the Beach Boys' Medley" are two examples that, in a sense, illustrate this "revival." No less a sign was the announcement several weeks ago that Chuck Negron. Danny Hutton, and Cory Wells will be regrouping THREE DOG NIGHT after nearly a decade of silence.

Aside from these and other outward signs is a new frame of mind which seems to be developing in the minds of popular music listeners.

ROLLING STONE magazine calls it a "new continuity" in many listeners' attitudes, which sees rock music as a whole, unified body, and no longer a chopped up series of unrelated subunits. It is a flow of meaning and unity of purpose.

We might say that rock is "coming of age," just as any other period of music, such as the Classical Era or the Jazz Age, did in due time.

One of the most unusual revivals of rock's past has been the renewed interest in Jim Morrison and lhe DOORS. It was ten years ago this past July that the world last saw Jim Morrison. At the time, he was one of the top rock singers around For a while after his "death," the DOORS faded from the scene. The other members of the group - Ray Manzarek, Robby Krieger, and John Densmore went their own ways and pursued various careers in music. The silence began to break several years ago when the DOORS' song, "The End," was used as the theme song in the movie " Apocalypse Now." The release or the album, "The Doors' Greatest Hits," last year

by Elektra Records shattered the remaining silence. Suddenly, it was all uphill. The DOORS' music was back on the radio and the record charts. Fan clubs began springing up everywhere. The publishing of the best-seller biography of Jim Morrison, NO ONE HERE GETS OUT ALNE, added to the furor. Several magazines have recently printed special tribute issues to hlm, and ROLLING STONE just had an excellent feature article on him last month. A network documentary on him is being planned for this coming year, and efforts are well underway for a full. length motion picture on the DOORS. Just who was this Jim Morrison (or "Mr. Mojo Risin'," as some will call him)? He was a maverick, a uniquely talented, colorful individual - one of the few rock musicians to have a bachelor's degree. While he loved to sing, and is, of course, best known for just that, healso enjoyed working with cinematography and writing poetry. Simon and Schuster even

published a collection of his poems called THE LORDS & TifE NEW CREATURE.5.

Jim and the other DOORS launched their career in the limelight with their album THE DOORS in early 1967. In the four years that followed, the DOORS leaped to stardom with such songs as "Riders On the Storm," "Hello, I Love You," "Love Me Two Times," and "Break On Through." Altogether, they released eight albums as a group.

They travelled throughout the U.S. and Europe giving concerts that were, without fail, sellouts.

By late 1970, Jim gave hints that he wanted to move on to "new horizons." His love for writing poetry began to take top priority in his heart over his singing career. He was always concerned about communicating his inner feelings to others, and, as he told CREEM Magazine in the spring of 1971. "I no longer feel L can best do this through music, through concerts.''

Jim zipped off to Paris for a lengthy vacation in early '71.

While there, on the night of July 3, he allegedly had a heart attack and died. Only one person actually saw him ''dead" - his wife. Pamela Courson Morrison.

And she's been dead for eight years herself. All this has caused considerably speculation as to whether Jim really did die. It was not beyond his character to fake 1:leath to·· get away from it all." He was growing tired of being recognized and stopped whereever he went, and it was no secret that he had said on several occasions that he'd like to disappear to some remote part of the world, like Africa, so he could spend all his time giving attention to his first love - poetry writing.

All this lack of certainty over whether he's really dead or alive has only added to the intrigue of Jim Morrison. It's been ten years now since "Mr. Mojo Risin'" left us, and there's still no word. But, who knows? He could be back tonight.

Regardless of Jim's whereabouts today, one thing stands dear as a lasting tribute to him and the DOORS - their music. It embodies a unique flavor of feeling not often found in most musicians' work. If you've never heard the DOORS before, try them! And, if you have, well. try them again! You'll be joining thousands of others around America who are ·· rediscovering" the DOORS.

( continued from page I) clothing representing their school's colors - maroon & grey - two of the most common colors in the spectrum. (If you believe that, you'll buy my watch!) It wasn't the easiest of assignments, but most of the Lancers pulled it off.

DMLC's lovely Porn Porn girls opened this year's Pep Fest with one of their fantastir: routines.

Save for a strobe light rlashing its head off somewhere, the stage was dark. I could barely make out their vague forms as they moved across the stage. (They didn't tell us we'd have to bring infra-red glasses.) Suddenly, the music reached its peak ... and so did the performance ..• and so did my headache. ( It's a good thing I had my trusty bottle of Anacin along.) After that my vision faded with the music, and the- girls danced off into the sunset ( or should I say strobeset?).

The skits this year were great!

Each class followed the Lancers in Outer Space theme splendidly.

I really loved them ( But then again. I love athlete's foot!) The ideas were highly original and effectively executed, too. dis· playing fine examples of team· work and enthusiasm. ( Of course, the same can be said about the St. Valentine's Day Massacre.)

To finish things off, judges were asked to measure the intensity of sound blaring from the oral cavities of the students in the audience. One football player from each class led the cheers.

Everytime a class scored at least 7.5 on the Ziggy scale. that group·s leader had to take the biggest bite he could out of a Milky Way bar dangling on a line above him. When the candy bar was consumed, the contest was over and the winner declared.

This year, the class with the biggest mouth (boasting a twobite win) were the Sophomores.

Chomp! Chomp' Before I forget . . . Someone asked me to please mention the Lancer parade through town in my article. Always striving to meet the requests of my devoted fans, I now fulfill my obligation:

We bad one.

The game Saturday against the Comets was something else.

Everyone was ready the players, the coaches. the fans.

Excitement was building to a fever pitch. And there it was, the first play of the game - a line drive out to center field' The hall saw us behind by 18 points. but the Lancers weren·t worried They only needed I0 baskets to put them into the lead; they knew they could do the job.

But then the tide turned! The Lancers hadn't counted on the Comets lobbing a fast ball just inside the net. We lost by a thread But don't worry, gang.

We'll get those guys next time, even if we have to chase em' all over the ice!

As shadows lengthened along the time-worn walkways of Luther College. students. faculty, alumni and honored guests all piled into the Lancer gymnasium to pig out on the humungous feed our beloved kitchen staff so graciously catered . . I mean, prepared Everyone casually remarked how delicious the food was for a change. The Fowl a· la Cosmonaut was simply out of this world ( which may e.icplain why we're still here), as were the Cosmic Com and MeteoroUs. But my favourite was the Martian Mud It tasted just like the stuff Grandma Zebob used to make back home. Ah, memories: After dinner, we listened to Bob Rebers of the Pep Club give

his opening remarks ( which was enough to cause the Sputnik spads I had eaten minutes before to self-destruct in my stomach).

Reports were then heard concerning our fine athletic organizations here at DMLC, including an inspiring lesson by Coach Gorsline all of us would do well to remember in this dog-eat-Duffy world of ours.

Soon it was time for the presentation of awards. This year, the Sophomores took practically the whole ball o· wax! They came in ftrst in the float competition.

(Ours did) They also came in first for the coveted Spirit Award Phil Hackbarth was so overwhelmed by the victories that. for the first time in his life, he was speechless! (Actually, he was exhausted from plodding up from the rear of the gym, while weaving in and out among the tables and chairs.)

After a twenty-minute intermission came the entertainment segment of the program. The acts were superb, and the MC's did an excellent job of keeping everyone together (Sort of like the blind leading the blind. The acts were frightfully lucky they didn't fall off the stage!) Beyond a shadow of a doubt, the show was an instant hit!

Well, Gang. that concludes my account of DMLC's Homecoming festivities for 1981 (And you thought it would never end!) I hope everyone will always remember the happy times we had here during this special week. To that end, I'd like to leave you with this parting thought: You can't run fast with your Keds on backwards! I won't explain . .

Someday you'll understand Huzzah!

News Editor When I entered this school system a few years ago, I heard I had a dreadful task ahead of me. I heard vicious rumors that Western Civilization I and 11 were l o be dreaded more than the Bubonic Plague. Yet when I met the professor. my fears soon vanished He was always smiling. and his little laugh lightened up the classroom. This amazing

man i5 Professor Darvin Raddatz.

He graduated from the Seminary in 1959. He then served as tutor at Michigan Lutheran Seminary for three years. He started teaching at DMLC in the year of 1970.

I asked him what he liked best about DMLC. It took him only a moment to think of the response.

He also mentioned that he often relates this idea to his classes. He said that he pictures heaven with a tower in it, and this tower would be the same as the one on Old Main. He has been extremely happy here, and he feels very blessed to be teaching at DMLC. The two things that make him so happy are working with Christian students who are faithful to their work, and working with fellow professors who are supportive and encouraging.

Professor Darvin Raddatz The hardest part of his job used to be Collegiate Council but now Professor lan'!e has taken over that duty. He did say that keeping everything straight for every class is a difficult job. He. like everybody else, would also like more time. He would like to do more scholarly work, but he finds his time running short after he plans for all of his lessons.

When Professor Raddatz has time, he likes to spend it with his family. He considers his hobbies and pastimes as taking an active part in his five children's lives. He also likes to preach when he has the opportunity.

His most memorable experi-

Professor Sievert of the Dr. Martin Luther College Education Division was privileged to conduct a one-day workshop on the subject of Humanism for the Northern Teacher's Conference of the Michigan District of the Wisconsin Synod. Some fifty-plus teachers met at St Paul's Lutheran School of Saginaw, Michigan. to participate in the program.

Professor Sievert led the workshop with an introduction on Humanism. Following this, the group studied the "Humanist Manifesto I and II." Several other topics from submitted papers were dealt with. The following briefly outlines the topics and the people who led the discussions.

Professor Carlton Toppe of Northwestern College dealt with "Dealing with Humanism in Today's World." "Humanism. Its Origin, Nature and Menacing Impact" was presented by Professor Joel Gerlach of Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary. Professor Arnold Koelpin of DMLC studied "Humanism and the Christian Education" with his group. Mr. Carl Bartels of St. John's Lutheran School of Watertown, Wisconsin studied "Whose ls the Child?"

Professor Sievert's wrap-up presentation of the workshop should be of interest to students of Dr. Martin Luther College and its faculty. The question dealt with was, "HOW SHALL WE AS CHRJSTlAN EDUCATORS DFAL WITH HUMA.''HSM?" Various alternatives loom up before us.

PROFESSOR SIEVERT CONDUCTS WORKSHOP ON HUMANISM

ence at DMLC is very touching and truly shows that teaching is rewarding. His wife was ill and he was worried about her. The day had a dark side to it until one of the students came into the classroom with a big batch of cookies.

This just had to make him smile. and things just seemed better.

This young man made such an impression on Professor Raddatz, that he even knows where this gentleman 1s teaching today.

Professor Raddatz. as a veteran teacher, has some advice for future and even present teachers. WORK HARD! As long as you serve God the best you can, and put your trust in Him, your work will be successful.

Thank you, Professor Raddatz, for an ~teresting and enjoyable ~ file.

I . We can ignore humanism as though it did not exist and do nothing about it But who would want that?

2. We can embrace humanism with its pronouncements, its methodologies, with its role in society and do everything in our power to promote its ideologies.

That would be out completely

3. We can reject absolutely everything about humanism and become so fearful of it that we mstitute witch hunts to ferret out its presence lurking in every lesson we are to teach aside from the very Word of God itself. This would be questionable to say the least

4.

We can inform ourselves about humanism and its dangers, its principles and methodologies, and then, being equipped with the armor of God. we may permit it to serve us in a variety of ways.

We need not throw out humanism altogether. Armed with the

very Word must be seen in action. When Christ is not proclaimed in our daily personal and professional routines by the con• fession of our lips and the example of our lives, then our stance against humanism loses real substance. With a spirit kept healthy by God's Word, the Christian may deal with humanism as with all things in life. He may use certain phases of it carefully and knowledgably that God might be glorified in every aspect of His marvelous creation for man. And that is possible in our system of Christian schools!

And so I say, "Thank God for our Lutheran Schools at all levels of education." They, too, have their problems. They, too, have their short-comings. They, too, have their failing students. BUT THANK GOD WITH ME THEY ARE STILL BLESSED OASF.S IN THE EDUCATIONAL WILDERNESS OF AMERICA THEY PROMOTE ALLEGIANCE TO THE LORD OUR GOD. THEY MAKE HIS WORD THE VERY HFART AND SOUL OF THEIR EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM. They recognize in their students individuals endowed with immoral souls, individuals both sinners and saints, people whom God the Father has elected from eternity to spend an etemity with Him. This summer our WELS. in its biennial convention, had for its theme the words of Isaiah 54:2.

"Enlarge the place of your tent. stretch your tent curtains wide, do not hold back: lengthen your cords, strengthen your stakes."

Let this be our motto for the educational year before us and why? So that on the GRfAT DAY, when we as educators shall stand before our Lord to give an account or our ministry, each of us may say, "HERE, LORD, AM I AND THOSE WHOM THOU

GAYEST ME." Finally. though the unbelieving world prefers to be placed on that pedestal which makes man the measure of all things and casts God and His Word aside.

WE CHRISTIANS ARE ON A PEDESTAL OF FAR GREATER WORTH - GOD'S WORD. WE CAN BOLDLY CONFESS. "ON CHRIST THE SOLID ROCK I :ffAND." And thus. seemg Jesus as He is to be seen, we and our students indeed can let our voices burst forth in brilliant praise, " UNTO HIM THAT LOVED US AND HAS WASHED US FROM OUR SINS IN HIS OWN BLOOD AND MADE US KINGS AND PRIF.STS UNTO GOD AND HIS FATHER. TO HIM BE GLORY AND DOMINION, FOREVER AND

shield of faith and the sword of the Spirit, we may examine this world's wisdom for what it is and selectively use it or reject it.

EVER. AMEN.

5. F'mally the best way in which to deal with humanism is through the message of the cross. Only through the Gospel can the Spirit of God change the mind and heart of man. Our weapon is the preaching. the teaching of the Word or God. Let us keep in mind. however, that when in preaching and teaching God's Word that

LIFE ON A RESERVATION ..

by ·Merry Naab Staff Writer This month the MESSENGER took a look at a couple of special freshmen. They are special in that they are both Apache Indians from the reservations in Arizona. Their names are Marthalean Talkalai and Jennifer Willens. To their friends they are known as Ruthie and !she.

There are many aspects about Indian culture, as I •found out Each tribe and reservation has its own customs and ways of doing things. They even have separate dialects in their language. So even though Ruthie and lshe come from the Arizona reservations, they both have different customs and ways of saying things. To an outsider these differences are not very noticeable.

To understand what a reservation is, you first have to realize that in each reservation there are a number of cities. There is more than one reservation in Arizona The reservations cover the areas in Arizona that have warm climates and also the mountain

areas where there is snow. So common pastimes are hiking, camping and skiing. The camping is all free. If I wanted to go camping on the reservation, I would have to go with Ruthie or lshe. I would not be allowed to camp without an Indian being with me.

Marthalean Talkalal (Ruthie)

GLIMPSES THROUGH CHILDREN'S ~YES Last month, The Meuenger introduced this column as a special section of the newspaper.

We feel that future teachers should take note of some of the efforts of youngsters today. This very enjoyable essay displays the creativity and imagination of SteYen Lange, a fifth grader at St Paul's Lutheran School.

The Day that SIiverware came to Be Way back when King Fooldumb was King over all the world, there wasn't any silverware. People had to eat with their fingers which meant people used more napkins than they could buy. That's why people in those days were so poor.

One day King Fooldumb was eating barbecued ribs when he ran out of napkins. He called his royal treasurer into the throne room. He asked, "Do we have any more napkins?" "No, we are all out," said the treasurer. "Well, go buy some," said King Fooldumb angrily, "or you will be made janitor and the janitor will become the treasurer!" "But we have no money," said the treasurer. "Well, you know what to do," said the King, So then the treasurer went and told the town crier. Then the crier went out into the town and told the people the sad news.

"Hear ye, hear ye," cried the

crier. "King Fooldumb, King of the world, has an announcement I your king. must triple your very low daily ta>ces. Your new t.axes will be $33 a day for a period of one year."

That night, the whole world was unhappy because of their new taxes. But that very night, the town blacksmith got a brilliant idea He stayed up all night and worked on pounding the metal into shape. But he didn't know what to call them.

That morning, his family was having Alpha Bits. His son, John was eating his Alpha Bits with one of his father's inventions. His daughter, Deb, was eating hers with another one of her father's inventions. His wife, Ruth, was eating hers with yet another one of her husband's inventions.

John scooped up the letters s-p-o-o-n. "Spoon," he said ''rll call this a spoon." Deb scooped up the letters f-o-r-k. "Fork," she said "I'll call this a fork." Then Ruth scooped up the letters k-n-i-f-e. "Knife," she said "fll call this a knife."

Then the blacksmith took his inventions to the King and he called the spoon, knife, and fork silverware because it was made out of silver. The King lowered the taxes back down to $11 a day and everyone was happy, especially the King, because he wouldn't need as many napkins when he ate his barbequed ribs.

Life on the reservation is indeed different from life on a Midwest farm. There are celebrations of all kinds on the reservations. These celebrations are sometimes known as pow-wows.

Anybody can attend these celebrations. Most of these celebra• tions are during the summer months, maybe as often as every other weekend The occasions are very special to each member of the family. This gives everyone the chance to meet with friends and relatives. Dances are the main source of entertainment Two dances that were mentioned were the Sunrise Dance which is for younger girls to participate in and the Man's Fancy Dance in which the men dress up in special Indian outfits. The Indian men take great pride in their special dress.

The Indians are not required to stay on the reservation. If they wish to find work outside of the reservation, they may. To get back into the reservation they must go through the tribe. They have much freedom compared

A very dear friend and teacher of lshe's talked to her about DMLC. lshe had always dreamed of coming to DMLC, but had never mentioned it When her friend talked to her about enrolling, she felt it was God's way of letting her know that she should come here.

Ruthie's decision to come here was made early in her life. She decided to attend school at Mobridge, where she stayed two years until it closed. She then went two years to MLPS at Prairie du Chien.

When I asked them what they liked about DMLC, they both agreed on their answers. They are very impressed with the student body accepting them for what they are. They are also impressed with the professors and how willing they are to help with assignments. Both enjoy school up here. Although they like school, they still miss home and their way of life.

You may be wondering how these girls decided on coming to DMLC. Both were influenced by

DEAR DAWN,

by Dawn Fuerstenau DEAR DAWN, I would like to know why professors bother to put up consultation hours when they don't plan to stick around for them.

Now, I will grant you that some professors are there when they're supposed to be, but then there are those who are nowhere to be found I have spent up to a whole hour looking for one of my profs when it was supposedly his consultation hour. I realize he has many things to do, but so do I. When you need to see a prof for extra help and you only have one hour a week that you can see him, it's very aggravating to have to search high and low for him. I think profs should have more consideration ror their students.

Signed, Frustrated

Dear Frustrated, I can certainly understand your exasperation. Professors a.re supposed to be in during consultation hours, and many of them are. However, just like everyone else, they can get sidetracked Sometimes professors are stopped right after dass by students and never even have a chance to get to their offices.

Hopefully your letter will serve as a gentle reminder to professors to honor their consultation hours. If possible, I suggest you

MINNESOTA RENAI SSANCE

by Wesley Steinberg Staff Writer Prepare Thyself for Merriment! Thus begins one of the most fascinating experiences of this or any other era - the 1981 Minnesota Renaissance Festi-

val Greetings!

The custom of the fall {east reached its zenith during the period of the 16th century- the Renaissance. Farmers would converge on a local town to sell their harvested crops in the open marketplace. This bustling activity attracted merchants, entertainers, wanderers and wayfarers, both noble and common.

The atmosphere was one of mirth and merriment. Such was the life in merry old England in the autumn of each year.

It is the ambience of the London marketplace around which the Minnesota Renaissance Festival is built. Located in the shire of Shakopee, the Festival offers more than just a day "away from it all." It offers the chance to step into history. Now you possess this chance. Come.. and shout Huzzah!

The moment I stepped through the gates, I knew I was in a special place. Village folk and peasants wandered about the grounds, talking now and again to travellers as they passed by.

One lady stopped to ask me if I had seen her goal Just as I was about to reply, she started at something she saw behind me. I assumed it was her little lost friend, for she quickly thanked me and headed straight-away in that direction. The adventure had begun.

My companions and I soon found ourselves in the West Meadow, an area simply alive with activity. To the east of us, a peasant was being placed into the stocks for insurrections against the realm. (I can't be sure, but I think the man bad insulted the King.) Straighfabead we encountered the Glass Blower's Studio. They presented a fascinating display of engraved glassware, in addition to a demonstration of the fine art of glass blowing. It was extremely interesting.

As we rounded the bend into Cartwheel Cove, we came upon a small gypsy encampment. A cer-

tain aura seemed to pervade the qmp as we stopped to watch an ancient gypsy dance. performed by two very lovely young ladies. l was dazzled by the brightly coloured garments and the intricate movements of the women dancing before the waggon.

Nearby, the gypsy men who weren't making music bade people to sit and enjoy the show.

We did both.

Before leaving Cartwheel Cove, we stopped to visit with Bilbo Baggins at his beautifuJ hobbit hole under the Hill. Unfortunately, Bilbo was out for the day with his nephew Frodo, so we chatted a bit with Bilbo's gardener, Sam Gamgee. Gimli the Dwarf cut our visit rather short however, when he started a ruckus with one of the nearby stained glass merchants. We left while Sam tried to calm him down.

It was an odd bit of chance that we met the King and Queen of the Realm. We had just entered the North Commons and come upon the Crown Theatre - a remarkable stage fashioned after a chess board - when we spotted them - King Henry and Queen Anne, closely followed by the Royal Court. We had been told earlier that, in the presence of the King, alJ travellers and loyal subjects must honour His Highnesss by shouting Huzzah! (This word in the Common Speech is used to express joy or approval.)

The word rang out loud and clear as crystal among those of us in the crowd The King was extremely pleased. So much so, in fact, that he granted the entire assemblage the privilege of viewing him and his lady play a round of uhuman" chess. Members of the Court took their places on the giant board, while the King and Queen assumed their positions before the audience. The game was ready to begin.

The crowd was split into two groups - Black and White. The Black section rooted for the King and was led by the Lord High Sheriff. Leading for the White group was Sir Edwin Sot; they cheered the Queen. My companions and I were among those of the Black section.

It happened that the King and Queen did not actually direct

moment, Philip moved in. The Board was quickly changed, placing the Queen in check. The tide was now turned Prince Alba was so nuste.red, he blundered his next two moves, leaving his white king wide open for attack. Sharp-eyed Prince Philip took immediate advantage of the situation and moved in for the kill Check and mate! Our section cheered loudly, drowning out the other section's groanings. The King had won!

Queen Anne looked upset for a time, but eventually smiled She joined her King in thanking each

section for their support A l.ast Huzzah saw the King and Queen on their way. It had indeed been an interesting afternoon.

Being quite fatigued after our excitement, we decided to first visit the privies and then get something to eat through one of the nearby food purveyors. The selection was incredible! Turkey drumsticks; shish-ka-bobs; corn on the cob; cookies the size of wall clocks; ale, wines and various cheeses; ice cream - the place was literally bursting with great things to eat. (I gained 5 pounds just taking in all the smells.)

After lunch we re-grouped, heading in different directions.

My friend Cheryl and I decided to strike out on our own for the Upson Downs. To get there, we had to first wander through the North Marche.

Known as the Gameing Area, the Marche was pregnant with amusing activity. In passing, we saw travellers from all over the Realm ( and especially those from other kingdoms) gathering to test their skills and abilities in various games. The competition among the participants was fierce, especially when it came time to fight the opponent of their choice on the field of battJe. To win, an aspiring knight was required to render his opponent immobile by knocking him off his makeshift steed. He was allowed only one weapon - a sack filled with sawdust The rest was up to the ability of the knight After a time. my companion and I finally entered the Upson Downs. The area was simply lovely. The children played merrily under a large oak tree, while parents toured the Birds of Prey Museum. Leather workers plied their craft in the Scottish Croft and, acr0$s the way, sculpters could be found working diligently in their own studio.

But I think the most interesting figure inhabiting the Downs was Brother Daniel - Teller of Tales.

People of all ages OQCked to h~ his stories and I found myself curiously drawn al.ongwith them.

In listening to this man'~ stqry, I felt the love of beautiful things shaped by folk of distant lands, of mountains and rivers alien to this part of the world. Coursing through me was the drive toward

money raised purchases these items. They have done a great deal for the campus. In the last few years, a greenhouse for the Science department was purchased. Vacuum cleaners were purchased and curtains were made for the donns. Besides these items, money is put into a library book fund and a scholarship fund To show appreciation to these ladies, the Collegiate Council ran the day for them. The ladies received service as soon as they drove up. There were people to park their cars and and friendly laces to greet them. The children of these ladies were taken to the babysitting service made up of

volunteer students. Other volunteers helped with the coffee and donut hour. Ballot counting, guided tours, and entertainment were other services rendered to these ladies in appreciation for what they do for DMLC. This year the program for the ladies revolved around the actual teaching program here at DMLC. In this way, the ladies are able to learn more about the school they assist in various ways.

So, next year when those notices appear and ladies fill the campus, smile. They are on our side. Also, say thanks to all those persons who unselfishly give to help keep DMLC in good shape.

play themselves. The game was carried on instead by Prince Alba, the Duke of Essex, for the Queen, and Prince Philip, the Heir Apparent, for the King. Another interesting distinction between the two came in the guise of general attitude. Queen Anne was definitely out for blood, cheating whenever she could get away with it. King Henry, on the other hand, seemed totaJly uninterested in what was happening on the Chess Board As a matter of (act, he seemed more fascinated with a few of the ladies in the crowd. ( I saw the women; I do not blame the old boy one bit.)

That may explain why lady Anne shafted him in the first place. But in any case, our beloved leader was totaJly unprepared for Alba's next "tricky" maneuver.

Some of the Queen's supporters on the Chess Board were directed to change position as soon as Philip turned away. (The King was no problem, since he was already occupied.) This unorthodox move caused the King to be placed in check. Quite a sticky wicket! We of the Black section booed the Queen, shouting derogatory cheers the Sheriff had taught us in the event of just such a happening. Of course, they shouted back.

Finally tearing himself away from the ladies, King Henry held a brief counsel with Philip and the Sheriff. To gain an advantage, the King must cheat! Directed by the Sheriff, the Black section was to somehow distract the Queen's forces. On Philip's que. we turned around in our seats and pointed up at the sky. The gullible White section also turned to see what

great adventure and heroic deeds; to wear a sword instead or a walking stick - just once.

Hardly without realizing it, the taJe had ended and I was forcefully propelled back to earth. But the trip had been welJ worth it. I would remember Brother Daniel.

The Horse Show had its beginnings as a roadside gathering on the outskirts of a medieval village. As it was then, so it is now.

At the Carrousel or Horses, Festival Equestrians compete in events of skill and honour, just as horsemen did 400 years ago.

Of all the events held at the Carrousel of Horses, the joust was most favoured In the Quintain Joust, mounted Knights battle each other for the honour of their kingdom and the love of their ladies. In such a contest, strength and valour is often the deciding factor. In the Ring Joust, artistry is put to the test when contestants try to capture the gold ring located at the end of the quarter mile track at full gallop! In this event, concentration is the key, for one blink of the eye could bring instantaneous defeat As we neared the end of our brief journey, I couJdn't help feeling a sense of longing to remain in this magical place.

They say time ends all things, and our day at the Festival was no exception. Before we knew it, the moment had come to turn deciduous - and leave. None of us wanted to go. There was so much more yet to see, so much still to experience. But all o f us realized the impossibility of viewing everything at once. Any worthwhile experience must be taken in smalJ doses, that the full effect of the encounter may be obtained.

The MlnnffOta Renal..ance Festival is not a thing to miss in â&#x20AC;˘ this hectic day and age. Sometimes we hold so much concern for the future. that we forget the past and what it has to offer us. If you haven't yet visited the Festival, I urge you to take the time to go. See history unfold before your very eyes. Experience that which you will never be able to see first-hand - the enigma that is the Renaissance.

Huzzah!

lADIES AUXILIARY

by Cindy Lehman As notices appeared to straighten up the dorms, dress neat, and be on one's best behavior, did questions arise as to what was going on? Then on October 14, when hundreds of ladies filled the campus did it feel like we were being invaded? Well, rest easy. It was not a state inspection team, or the taking over of DMLC by the Ladies Aid Instead, it was a group of wonderful ladies that help the students at DMLC. These ladies came from WELS congregations that are located all over the state of Minnesota They are the Ladies Auxiliary.

The Ladies Auxiliary was

formed totally for the benefit of DMLC students. They collect money from their congregations and use it to purchase needed items for the campus. It all began many years ago when the kitchen was badly in need of a large mixer. A Ladies Auxiliary formed to raise money for the project It was such a success that the ladies are still around helping us today.

But why do they come to DMLC? One day out of the year, the Ladies Auxilary's from around the state come to visit the campus and to hold their meeting. The main purpose is to vote for the projects they think would be best for the students. The

AGIANCE THE WILD(E) WORLD OF SPORTS ..

OVERALL LOOK AT DMLC SPORTS

by Paul Wilde Sports Editor We here at DMLC have reason to be proud of our athletic program. Our school has an enrollment of less than 800 students, and has a very limited budget to work with. Despite this drawback, take a look around and pause to appreciate the excellent facilities we have been so blessed with. Our gymnasium, football bowt and baseball field all rank with the best in our conference.

We have six tennis courts that are readily accessible for all of us to use. About hall the schools we compete against do not even have- their own courts, and those that do have courts do not have as many as we have.

The success of our program is also evidenced by both the number of interscholastic and intramural sports, and by the number of students involved in each. Not only is there great participation in them, but the cahl>er of the play is often very high, as is obvious by the wonloss record The next portion of this article will be devoted to giving a brief summary of the interscholastic sports available to us. as well as a few noteworthy individual performances.

Hali of the twelve interscholastic sports offered on campus are for the women. They are volleyball, cross country, basketball, track, softball, and tennis, and

are coached by Jody Wade, Barb Leopold, Paul Boehlke, and Karen Shilling. Wade coaches volleyball and track; Leopold coaches basketball and softball; Boehlke leads the cross country team; and Shilling heads the tennis team. Last year's volleyball team sported a fine 1712 record, and qualified for the state tournament. The prospects for this year's team are rosy indeed, for the entire starting line-up is back in action. Last year's cross country squad was the strongest ever in DMLC history. The 1981 harriers lost several of last year's mainstays, but are bolstered by the return of Janice Kant, who broke the school record in both the three mile run and the five kilometer run, and also by a great crop of freshmen. The 1980-81 Lancerette roundballers compiled an impressive 14-7 slate, and added a fourth place finish at state for good measures. This year's quintet should be even more powerfu~ since only one letter winner is not returning. Track wiU be entering its third year.

Nobody from last year's squad graduated, so track could see considerable improvement. The Lancerette softballers had many accomplishments in 1981. First of all, they compiled a sparkling 7-3 conference mark, and 14-10 overall. Even more impressively. they won the conference title,

placed third at state. and did better than any other Minnesota team in the national reRionals by placing fifth. Wendy Ristow and Carrie Waldschmidt rue returnees who were named to the state all-tournament team. 1982 will bring many firsts for DMLC sports. There will be a women's interscholastic tennis team.

There are many talented women vying for spots on the roster, and rm sure they will fare well if last year's scrimmage against Bethany (a win) is any indication of how other schools compare with them.

Now let us take a look at men's Dennis Gorsline sports. coaches football, basketball, and tennis; Marv Meihack is baseball's mentor; Fred Wulff guides the golf team; and cross country is led by fourth year runner Jim Rademan. The 1980 Lancer eleven finished with a 3-5 record last year. and is striving for improvement this year. Six allconference selections - Mike

Butzow, Steve Toth, Scott Herrewlg, Paul Ryder, Kurt Mueller, and Greg Stam return to action, along with fifteen promising freshmen. Last year's Lancer quintet got out of the starting blocks fast. but stumbled near the finish line enroute to a l 0- l 3 record This year's cagers feature the return of two vital performers, Jim Unke and Mark KarnJtz, both of

whom missed last season. The 1981 netters successfully defended their conference crown, and added an imposing 7-3 record for good measure. Returning conference champions are: John Ashenmacher in singles; Don Kolander in doubles with brother John, who graduated; and even Paul Wilde somehow managed to pocket a singles chan1pionship (no, that is nQt a misprint!). The J981 edition of the baseball team again enjoyed a successful season, compiling a lofty 13-7 slate, and a tie for second in conference competition. Scott Herrewig tops the list of returnees. Two years ago he rewrote the DMLC record books for the most safeties in a season, and batted a deadly .388 last year. Eric Ziel followed closely on Herrewig's heels with a .386 percentage. Bryan Von Deylen paced the hurlers with a 2.l2ERA and a 5-2 record (take notice, Sparky Anderson') The golf team ripped up the links ( not literally) on the way to a glossy 9-2 record, although they did not successfully defend their conference championship.

The conference champion of three years ago, Tim Torgerson, is back. Torgerson was an alJ-conference pick last year.

Last year's harriers were the fastest DMLC has ever had, and they raced to the Northern District of the NLCM championship.

They fell just short of capturing the conference tit.le, though Tom Kirkman, who placed third in the conference meet and was named a National Little College All-American, and Jim Rademan, who grabbed sixth in the conference meet, head the list of this year's returnees.

Yes. there are many excellent athletes and teams on campus, and I hope I did not omit anyone who won honors such as the ones I did single out. They have accomplished much in the past, and should enjoy much more success in the future. I hope I have enriched your knowledge of interscholastic sports on campus, and have gotten some of you interested in participating in them. Remember that these athletes are your friends, and are here to prepare for the Lord's work just as you are. Through their actions, they are representing their school and God. I think we should be proud of their successes as well as how they have represented their school and God by their actions on the field of play.

In conclusion, I encourage everyone to get involved in sports on¡campus, whether it be by competing interscholastically, in intramurals, or by being a supportive fan. We should appreciate the opportunities available to all or us. and make a good use of them.

mained 6-0.

About halfway through the second quarter, the Comets flashed again, intercepting a Herrewig aerial and running it in for the score. A two-point conversion attempt failed, but in the blinking of an eyelash the Comets had extended their lead to 12-0.

The th.i rd inopportunely-timed miscue came during the third quarter. A Lancer fumble gave Concordia the ball on the Lancer 30. Once again, the Comets converted the gift into six points to take a commanding 17-0 lead The Lancer offense, which had been so stagnated during the first three quarters that it more closely resembled the Rockette dance routine of 1, 2, 3, kick, came to life during the fourth quarter, but was unable to register any points on the scoreboard Midway through the fourth quarter, the Lancers moved to the Concordia 19, but Herrewig, who was under pressure for much of the afternoon, was sacked for a 10 yard loss.

Moments later he threw his third interception of the day to end that scoring threat Besides those three gamedeciding turnovers, the Lancers were hurt all day by poor field

position. The Lancers' own offensive inefficiency, as well as excellent punting by Concordia's punter, were the primary reasons for that. While the Lancers usually started their offensive series around their own 20, Concordia usually took over around the 50, not very far from scoring position. This put tremendous pressure on the Lancer defense to immediately stop the Comets, and the Lancer defenders put forth an admirable effort TIITle and time again, they put the clamp on the Comet offense with hard hitting. scrappy play.

They easily could have folded, but they never did, and held Concordia to a meager total of 232 yards.

COMETS BLANK LANCERS

by Paul Wilde Sports Editor

Ah, yes, Homecoming 1981 had arrived October 10 had turned out to be a glorious sunny and warm day after a foggy, drizzly morning. Today the Lancer eleven would take on the Comets of Concordia The Comets would come into the game boasting a 3-0 record, good for first place in the Upper Midwest Conference, and 3-l overall.

DMLC would enter the gridiron with a 2-2 slate (0-2 conference), and hungry for an upset on this special day.

A large partisan crowd, sporting many alumn~ crowded into the bowl in anticipation of a good game. Players and spectators alike eagerly awaited the opening kickoff.

However, the hopes of an upset were crushed as the Comets scorched the Lancers, 18-0. The Lancers were their own worst enemy, for three costly turnovers gave Concordia the game on a silver platter. The first one occurred midway through the first quarter. A Herrewlg interception gave Concordia the ball on the Lancer 13 yard line, and three plays later Concordia cashed in on the opportunity with a touchdown. The extra point failed, so the score re-

AT SPORTS lANCERETTE NETTERS ARE FLYING HIGH

by Paul Wilde Sports Editor The Lancerette volleyball team has been progressing very well this fall As of this writing, the Lancerettes are 10-5, and 2-0 in conference play. Coach Wade reels that the extra experience her squad gained last year is now showing itself. Close games that they lost last year have been converted to victories this year.

Our netters made their 1981 debut in the four-team Winona State University Invitational.

They took second place by winning two and losing one. They lost to eventual champion Winona State 15-8. 15-11 in the opener. but came back to defeat Winona St Mary's 17-15, 15-10, and Southwest State 15-10, 15-3.

Showing the way for DMLC were: passing Lori Thompson; hitting Thompson, Barb Mueller, and Beth Valleskey; assistc; - Valleskey and Lynne Bitter; and blocks Liz Petermann.

Then Macalester, last year's state champion invaded our gymnasium. The Lancerettes and the crowd came fired up. and won the first two games of the best of five game match. 17-15, 15-12. Macalester came roaring back to win the next two games 15-7, 15-1, and raced to a

Number 15 sets them good! (photo by Bill Scharf) seemingly insurmountable 14-4 lead in the decisive fifth game.

Whal followed was one of the

most incredible comebacks I've ever seen, and one of the tensest sporting events rve ever wit-

nessed. The Lancerettes staved off several match points while scoring 11 consecutive points to serve for the match at 15-14.

However, Macalester fought orr the match point Each team had a couple of chances to win the match, but in the end Macalester came out on top, 21-19. The Lancerettes may have lost that match, but they showed the courage and never-give-up attitude found in all winners.

Macalester is still unbeaten, which further shows the magnitude of the netters' effort Dania Habeck set a new record with 24 digs, as the stellar backcourter was literally all over the court DMLC then lost another heartbreaker, 15-11, 8-15, 5-15, 15-13, 13-15 to Augsburg, who got second in- the state tournament last year. The Lancerettes' next match was their first conference match against St Olaf, and the Lancerettes emerged victorious, 15-10, 10-15, 15-7, 15-8. In this match, Carrie Waldschmidt achieved the incredible feat of passing perfectly for the match.

Next the netters traveled to UM-Morris to take part in a sixâ&#x20AC;˘ team invitational, and fought their way to a second place finish. The Lancerettes swamped Morris (15-5, 15-13) and Northern State (15-7, 15-3) before

falling short against eventual champion Southwest State (1511, 15-9). Our squad split their last two matches, losing to Winona State (13-15, 15-13, 515), and then conquering Bethel (15-13, 15-11), to get second place. Lori Thompson paved the way in kills, while Dania Habeck paced the Lancerettes in service aces and digs. Beth Valleskey and Lynne Bitter were the assist leaders (or the netters.

DMLC quickly disposed of St. Mary's, 15-13, 15-8, and 15-6, in their second conference match.

They stomped all over North-western Roseville in the following match, 15-4, 15-7, and 15-13. The Lancerettes' final match before this writing was a triangular, and our Lancerettes won two close decisions to claim first place.

They beat Southwest State 15-13, 12-15, 17-15, and Brookings 11-

15, 15-10, 15-13.

The Lancerette Ns are currently 3-2. They have a lot of talent, but are inexperienced and need to work together better.

The Lancerettes are well on their way to a successful season.

Although their communication is somewhat weak at times, they have all the skills and are playing better now than ever before.

LANCER GRIDDERS BATTLING FOR A WINNING SEASON

by Paul Wilde Sports Editor Thus far our Lancers have been in combat four times, and their weapons have found their mark fifty percent of the time to emerge victorious twice. They galloped out to two fast wins. but in their last two duels the enemies have found a few chinks in their armor to overthrow the Lancers.

The Lancers kicked off the 1981 campaign with a spinetingling 20-19 conquest of Upper Iowa on the Peacock home field.

The Lancers scored three touchdowns: a 14 yard sprint by Mark Eternlck, a three yard pass from Scott Herrewlg to Kevin Keller, and a six yard scramble

by Herrewig. Two of the three point-after-touchdown attempts failed, but the successful one was a crucial two point conversion on Herrewig's throw to Steve Fritze that provided the final margin of victory. The Lancer defense

Sadat

thwarted a last ditch Peacock effort to win in the waning moments, during which more than a few hearts on the guest's sideline skipped a few beats.

Etemkk shredded Upper Iowa's defense for 93 yards rushing to pace Lancer backs, while Russ Hurst recorded nine tackles to top the Lancer defenders.

The following week the Lancers made their home debut against Marquette University.

Yes, this is the same school that won the NCAA Division I basketball tournament in 1977. However, Marquette's football team is only a club and is limited financially. Our gridders proved to be very inhospitable hosts, rolling to a 36-12 triumph. The defense continually made the big play, as they intercepted six passes. Greg Stam picked off two aerials, while Dale Uhlenâ&#x20AC;˘ brauck, Kurt Mueller, Scott Martinson, and Dean Johnson each pocketed one. Greg Stam

scampered 20 yards to reach paydirt with one of his interceptions.

The offense moved equally well via the airways or on the ground in accumulating an impressive 400 yards in total offense. Steve Toth scored two touchdowns, once on a I yard run, and the other on a five yard toss from Herrewlg. Scott Huebner also corraled a 44 yard aerial from Herrewig for another touchdown. Mark Etemick bowled over from 3 yards out for the final Lancer TD. Kevin Keller led a balanced ground attack with 69 yards in 7 carries, while John Sebald sparked the defense with 12 tackles.

The next Saturday the Lancers fell prey to the swooping Eagles of Northwestern, Roseville, 34-8.

Roseville no doubt still had lingering memories of last year when DMLC upset the Eagles in the football bowl, and wanted to avenge themselves. The Lancers

fell behind early, and never could get back into the game. They were hurt by crucial mistakes deep in their own territory on several occasions. Poor field position was a nemesis of the Lancers all day. The only score the offense could muster was on a 7 yard pass from Herrewig to Eric Ziel Paul Ryder, Dean Johnson, Jim Brandt, and Greg Stam led the defense in tackles, while Keller lugged the pigskin eight times for 42 yards to lead Lancer rushers.

Our gridders' hope of gaining their third victory in four attempts turned out to be all wet on a cold rainy, and windy Saturday afternoon. Pillsbury thwarted DMLC's bid by sloshing to a 14-6 victory. The Lancers never led, although came within one point, 7-6, in the first quarter.

The Lancer's wide-open attack was slowed down considerably because of the elements. The Lancers did rush for 195 yards,

including 83 by Rollle 11mm, but only stuck the ball into the end zone once. That came on a IO yard aerial from Herrewig to Huebner. Turnovers again did in the Lancers, as 6 of their passes fell into the clutches or the Baptist opponent Jim Brandt, John Sebald, and Dean Johnson had 8 tackles apiece to lead the Lancer defensive unit The Lancers have hopes of achieving that elusive goal, a winning season. They need to win three of their last four games to reach that goal. The Lancers have showed everyone that they are a tough, dangerous football team. However, untimely mistakes have proved very costly to them, and they need to reduce those miscues. The second hall of the season should be exciting.

Hopefully our Lancers cm achieve their goats.

a momentous date in the quest for Egyptian-Israeli peace. After the signing, relations oetween the two countries rose to a highpoint. In addition, both Sadat and Begin became close friends of the United States. With Carter's help, the two established a cairn in the Mid East which was unprecedented in recent times.

Suddenly, it was all over for Anwar Sadat The bullet of the assassin had claimed yet another

victim How sad that a man who stood so staunchly as a symbol of peace had to die such a violent death. We can only pray that his successor, Hosoi Mubarak, will be able to hold Egypt together and carry on in bis footsteps.

Sadat's shoes will be hard ones to fill Henry Kissinger himself noted shortly after the assassination that, if there was ever an "indispensable man" in the search for peace, it was Anwar

Sadat. His unique sincerity and untiring determination to succeed, set him aside as one of history's great leaders. Truly, be was a champion of peace. Wrtb his passing, mankind has lost a very dear friend Farewell, Anwar Sadat, farewell.

between the U.S., Egypt, and Israel. A second agreement was reached in September of 1975.

The highpoint on the road to peace was Sadat's historic visit to Jerusalem in 1977. Both he and Prime Minister Menachem Begin pledged a united effort in the search for peace. When he returned to Egypt, he was greeted by crowds of people shouting "Sadat! Sadat! The man of peace!" For their efforts at

peace, both Sadat and Begin were awarded the 1978 Nobel Peace Prize.

After a temporary bogging down of talks, U.S. President Jimmy Carter decided to step in '1e met with Sadat and Begin at Camp David in late 1978. The three worked together for two weeks on the preliminaries of a formal treaty. The Middle East Peace Agreement was officially signed on March 26, 1979 - truly

GIVE SOME LOVE, NAMELY BLOOD

by Dawn Rosenau A young man flies through his windshield in a terrible car ac-

person with the same blood type.

Today, many years and many discoveries later, we still do not have enough blood Out of ninety-two million Americans who could be giving blood, only three million people do it Maybe we do not believe blood shortages still exist, but they do. Why do you think there are big blood drives before every major holiday?

Blood is a vital necessity and nobody can live without it Anybody who lives to be seventy-two and the chances are that it will include most of us, wilJ need blood at least once.

I believe that most people do not give blood because they are afraid of the pain and the loss of blood. I can sympathize with this view, because the first time I went to give blood I was shaking like a leaf. I had a chance to give blood when I was in high school, but I was not going to let anyone take my blood. Then when I came to college and the blood drive was right in my own backyard, I was just too busy. In the spring of my freshmen year some of my friends talked me into"

cident He receives numerous cuts and is lying unconscious on the cold hard ground When the ambulance arrives, they realize he is losing too much blood Within minutes the young man is in a hospital bed with blood. new blood, flowing into his veins.

They did not have to rusli around and try to fmd a donor with suitable blood. The blood had already been given previously by a generous donor, when there was no emergency. Giving blood is a loving act, and every person who is able to give blood should.

A century ago most blood transfusions were unsuccessful.

People attempted to use animal blood. but the human body is unique, and all the patients who received the animal blood soon died. In the year 1900, Karl Landsteiner published a paper announcing the discovery of different blood types. At this time only direct transfusions were possible, this meant if a person was dying from the loss of blood, time ha.d to be spent finding a

giving blood. The whole procedure took about forty-five minutes. The actual drawing of the blood took only fifteen minutes and it.was almost painless. The nurses and the aides are trained to watch you, to relax you, and to make the experience a pleasant one.

Most people from 17 to 65 are eligible to give blood Giving blood is truly a privilege. Only a healthy person is capable of donating. The average human has ten to twelve pin ts of blood in their body. Within twenty-four hours after the 'one pint of blood is taken, the red cells are replenished.

I am also afraid many people do not realize how much blood is needed in the United States.

During a war, people are more willing to donate. for they see the need for blood. But every minute of the day five persons in the United States need an estimated three pints of blood. Multiply that three pints by sixty minutes and that shows a need for 180 pints of blood per hour. Do you think we receive nearly that much? We will not without you.

PATRONS Giving blood is an exhilerating feeling. It is something that money just cannot buy. It is certainly a gift of love to someone that you probably do not know.

Sometimes you are privileged to see your blood at work I bad a friend whose father had leukemia He needed about a pint of blood a day. Friends were asked to give their blood and charge it to his blood account to make up for all the blood his body required What a feeling to see your friends· love as they willingly give of themselves to help their poor ill friend The blood drive for the fall is now over. It was held here on campus on October 20th. The sad fact remains that only a minority of students attempted to give of themselves. If you really would like to give blood, you can check with the Red Cross and find out when the next blood drive is being held. II you still have a knot in your stomach when you think about giving blood, get brave and take that first vital step. I will see you all at the blood drive in the spring. for it is the gift of love.

REFORMATION

by Cheryl Roth

Staff Writer ~ctober 31 is a nationally recognized ho~iday called Halloween It is a fun holiday.

Chil~en of all ages celebrate this holiday by dressing up in frightening costumes and going 'trick-or-treating.' Older people find it a convenient excuse for throwing a party.

On November I, we at DMLC and the surrounding area threw a party. However, ours was thrown to celebrate a holiday very ne~ and dear to our hearts. That holiday to which I am referring JS called Reformation.

To us, as Lutherans, Reformation is a holiday of thanksgiving. For it is on this day that we thank God for having given Martin Luther the strength and courage to defend Goers Word in it's truth and purity.

The speaker for this year's 28th Annual Joint Reformation Service was PastorBrian Terrell from Redwood Falls. Pastor Norval Koch, of New Ulm, was the liturgist and Miss Judith Kresnicka, of DMLC. was the

Three area choirs participated in the service. The Children's Choir, directed by Mr. DaJe Markgraf, Principal of St. Paul's. sang "Holy Bible, Book Divine"; The Mass Choir, directed by Pastor Richard Kuckhahn of Gibbon, sang "For All the Saints" by R Vaughan Williams. The DMLC College Chorale, led by Professor Fred Bartel, also participated in the service. They sang an arrangement by Paul Bunjes and Friedrich Zipp entitled, "Dear Christians. One and All Rejoice." '

states, "You diligently study the Scriptures because you think that by them you possess eternal life. These are the Scriptures that testify of me."

The ~eformation Service was truly a celebration of our faith and heritage. May ~~ grant everyone of us the zeal to diligently study the scriptures and to uphold God's Word in all truth and purity.

The choirs, however, were not alone in ~llin~ ~he ~~e with song. The congregation Joined m smging such beautiful hymns as "O God. Our Lord. Thy Holy Word," "Preserve Thy Word, 0 Savior," and Luther's anthem, "A Mighty Fortress is Our

JUNIOR TUTORING PROGRAM

by Kris Wiersma Naomi Rapp Staff Writers The Junior Tutoring Program. associated with the Psychology of Leaming course, is again underway. Forty-four tutors are working with the remedial students this quarter. Forty-seven tutors were involved in the program last quarter. Participation in the program is not a course requirement, but does earn extra credit The remedial program, which is in its third year of existence, has thirty grade school enrolled in it students from St Paul's School ,

presently However, this number fluctuates.

Some children need help in a partic~lar skill that was not learned in cla-.s and, therefore. only stay in the program for one quarter.

Others, who have learning problems that require more help, have been in the program since its beginning.

All remedial students have a twenty minute tutoring session daily. During this time, they concentrate mainly on worksheets, but also have activities which are fun as well as educational The two computers are the most popular activity. They are a novelty for the children as they have only been in use for a year.

Mrs. Averbeck, who is in charge of the program, feels all the children have been helped to some degree. One of the key factors in helping a child is to get the child into the program as soon as a problem becomes apparent. The longer the problem is neglected, the more difficult it becomes to correct it The academically advantaged program is new this year. It has an enrollment of seventeen students who · have weekly tutoring sessions. This aspect of the program is more challenging to the tutor because it is up to the tutor to decide what activity the child will work on that day For the most part these children also work on the computer. They are allowed to work in areas that mterest them The purpose is to give them experjence beyond that provided in the dassroom While the program's main purpose is to benefit the children, the tutors also gain from it The tutor has an opportunity to have a one-to-one experience with a child One

tutor told of • third grade boy who always complained about what a temble day he was having. One day she asked him if he had had a bad day. He said, " It was exasperating!" The children really enjoy !;iaving tutors and are disappointed when they find out it's the tutor's last day. One tutor told her student it was her last day and he said, "Oh, no!" Another pupil started to cry when he found out his tutor wouldn't be coming any more.

Too often here on the hill, we lose sight of our goal and become bogged down in tests and papers. Tutoring is a chance to experience what teaching in the "real world" is all about

STUDENT TEACHING EXPERIENCES

by Merry Naab Staff Wnter The first quarter of another year is over and so are the teaching experiences of the first quarter student teachers. Each senior has his or her own special story to tell about the little "sweethearts" in the classrooms.

Some of these" sweethearts" had a way of embarassing a few of the seniors. One such experience involved Steve Wrobel He had asked his students to write what they thouglJ\ was the greatest lie One student

moment He had just reprimanded his class for throwing the football in the room. Not long after this, the supervisor walked by and just happened to toss a football in Paul's direction while telling him to catch it. How was Paul to explain this one to his class?

There are always those "boy was my face red" incidents. John Hartwig had one of those times. It was the first day of school John decided to introduce himsel/ to some of the other teachers. He came up to a girl and proceeded to introduce himself. He ~en asked her what grades she taught. To hi1-~'1Wi:t!s'~ll'P..!'il.,she..P.xolainPrl that shP situation his first day. It seems that his school had almost identical floors, the top floor having the girls' bathroom and the first floor having the boys'. Paul walked into the bathroom during the noon rush hour, thinking he was on first floor. He was not He had his first red- faced meeting with the seventh grade girls.

Although Peggy Ogg claimed her classroom was normal her students came up with a few little surprises. For instance, when Peggy asked her students what another name for apostle was, they replied atheist When they studied prefixes and suffixes, they came up with some new words for the English language. Two new words they made were misadvantage and imnormal.

They also decided that the founder for the MosJem religion was Mohammed Ali. Peggy also had an embarrassing moment during phy-ed class. She happened to be wearing a dress and high heels for class. The students were playing kickball. The ball came toward her, so she decided to kick it back to the student. When she did, she missed and fell on her derriere. Needless to say, she got back up on her feet as fast as possible.

For one senior, the school day seemed too long to go without a snack. Janet Splegelberg solved this problem by stashing food in one of her desk drawers. As soon as 3 o'clock came and her last student had left, her desk drawer was opened to reveal her favorite munchies.

These were only a few experiences that some of the seniors were mvolved in. These experiences, whether they are funny or not, help the student learn his or her own strengths and weaknesses in teaching. It plays a very important part in the role of being a student preparing for the teaching

EDITORIAL A REFORMATION PERSPECTIVE

by Miriam Zimmermann Editor-in-Chief Imagine the utter despair of one who questions his salvation, the desolation of a conscience heaped with guilt, the sunshine of life turned to a devastating darkness. Imagine all the Christian can hope for drowned in the fear of damnation. Then thank God because you can jubilantly exclaim, " I'm saved." Thank God for the purpose in your life and for the happiness with which you can live everyday.

Dr Martin Luther truly lived a time of his lire in doubt His sins were heaped upon him without an evident route of escape, or so it seemed to Luther. He felt rejected from God because of his sins. Luther searched for the means in which he could free himseU of this guilt and be brought to peace with God. No cloister, indulgence, or period of fasting could bring relief from that which distraught Luther. No effort on Luther's part could help to ease the burden of sin. Then an even darker cloud descended upon Luther. He felt as if be could not love God. Luther felt forsaken.

The festival of Reformation should lead each and every Christian to a thoughtful consideration of their own salvation. Take a time when you experienced guilt and multiply it several times. It would be hard to equal that of Luther's. Many times we take for granted what others have ex'Perienced It is good for us to celebrate the fact that the Church has endured through the years. However, if we could go back to Luther and see his torment, perhaps our salvation would prompt us to celebrate the Reformation everyday. With a gift such as this we should indeed, be doing just thal Appreciate the fact that each morning, whatever you wake up to. you can face it with an eternal goal in mind. You know you are saved Your mind does not have to be filled with shadows of despair. Luther helped to set the church in the right direction. By the grace of God, Luther condemned the errors in the church so that it would prevail to the end as God promised.

Now leave the doubts of your salvation forever out of your mind. There need not be despair.

Rejoice with Christians who are blessed with faith in a solid Fortress. Appr eciate Luther's agony for the joy it has brought into your life. Luther was not forsaken. He that was. brought eternal joy to Luther as well you and me today. Remember Reformation frequently. It brings a grateful joy.

AS I SEE fT Greg Boll

work themselves to the bone to eke out a living. Rather, they expect others to do it for them. They expect the government to hand it to them on a silver platter. They won't pitch in and help someone unless they stand to gain some outward reward for it We dare not let that American Dream die.

For, if it should die, then the last days of this nation are surely al hand Americans must learn, above all, to return to that God who has so richly blessed them for so many years. They must also learn to give of themselves again. They must learn to have faith. They must learn to have hope. And this hope for the future, hope in the American Dream. cannot be found in a Ronald Reagan. a Billy Graham, a Jerry Falwell, or any other.

It must come from within the people themselves. The people must unite and work together to restore this nation's greatness and pride. They must strive for the future. rather than sit back and wail for great things to happen. It is only with a united effort that we can ever hope to solve our nation's problems. We do indeed have in our power a chance to make America great again. WHAT ON EARTH ARE WE WAITING FOR?

THE WANING OF THE AMERICAN DREAM

by Greg Bolf Staff Writer In recent years. various qualified individuals have ex-pressed the belief that the American Dream is dying. Ah, yes, the American Dream. Just what is meant by the "American Dream?'' As I have grown to understand it, the American Dream was ( and. for some at least still is) that special hope which kept people optimistic of the future. There was something to look forward to down the road - a brighter, better tomorrow. a chicken in every pot. two cars in every garage. Society had its heroes - men and women it could look to to carry out and live its dreams. helping pave the way FOR that "better tomorrow." And there were new frontiers such as the West, Alaska, and outer space. Where is the better tomorrow? Where are all the heroes' What has happened to the new frontiers? Gone, gone. all gone?

Indeed, we must admit that there is no longer an overall sense of optimism in America for what lies ahead. Inflation is rampant, taxes continue to rise. costs of owning a home are soaring. social security is falling apart, and so on. Besides this. there has come the realization that we are no

fault. We may long for heroes, but our everheightening standards and expectations, coupled with a growing self-pride, prevent it.

We demand that our leaders work miracles in society, and heal all of its wounds. If they don't. we cast them aside and grope for another "savior."

And where are the frontiers? The West is won, Alaska is, by and large. explored, and the novelty of space exploration has worn off. There aren't too many places left to go.

There are no more " new frontiers." But have we really explored the existing ones to the full? I think not. I find it hard to believe that a person could ignore the unending wonders to be found in the vastness of space - we've barely STARTED exploring that frontier!

Let's not dry up on it now!

Much of this waning of the American Dream certainly has to do with the decline in morals of America's people. They have turned aside from God and His Word in everincreasing numbers. Is it really any wonder, then. that there is little to look forward to?

Besides this, Americans have grown lazy.

They no longer possess that hardy pioneer spirit which motivated earlier generations of Americans to push onward They no longer

longer soley number one in the world The feelings of Manifest Destiny and of postWorld War II supremacy are long gone. One could cite the Vietnam War as a towering reason for the deflation and disillusionment of the American ego. We CAN be beaten, we AREN'T invincible Can these signs point to a bright future? People used to possess faith that. even if the present was bad, the future would be better. And trends confinned that. in many instances. they were upheld in that faith. What has happened to ttiat faith? Why has stagnation set m? Why are so many people's outlooks like pieces of dried-out breacr.

And what of heroes? Where have all the heroes gone? Since those early colonists set out on that bold experiment over two hundred years ago, there have been heroes George Washington, Ulysses Grant.

PROF. PROFILE

by Dawn Rosenau News Editor Many times a student may enter a class and know absolutely nothing about the instructor. The professor looks like just another person, but many times these people are as versatile as the many classes they teach. In this profile, Professor Koelpio is the man of the article. He teaches many courses in the History and Religion Departments. His warm smile and gentle humor have made many students actuallv look forward to his classes. The other day ~ student remarked, "Professor Koelpin is not here today. This may sound really stupid,

but it is a disappointment I always enjoy Reformation Class."

Professor Koelpin was educated at Northwest em College, but he also attended the Lutherische Theologische Hochscflule in Oberursel, Germany. After that. he graduated from the Seminary in Mequon. He served as a tutor first at Michigan Lutheran Seminary and then at Northwestern College.

He then served as the pastor at St. James, Cambridge, Wisconsin. He was called to teach at DMLC in 1962.

His love for Europe has always taken him exactly there. He returned to Nurnberg to further his studying for two more years. In I967. he unexpectedly returned to the United States. The doctor in Europe misdiagnosed his illness as tuberculosis. Thankfully the illness was just walking pneumonia, and not the dreaded tuberculosis.

Professor Koelpin finds teaching a challenge. He feels he is dealing with such inquisitive minds. He wants to answer these questions, with always a firm foundation on Christ He finds the minds so precious at this â&#x20AC;˘ college level. This is the time the minds want the nagging questions of life answered.

This month we'll turn our attention to New Ulm's brewerles and beer. It is only fitting that we do this, for the brewing industry was once a major industry in New Ulm. Even today, New Ulm stands rather uniquely as one of the few places to still have its own local brewery.

The first brewery in the area was started m 1858, just across the river from New Ulm,

by Koke and Heydrich. The partnership lasted only a few months. After that. Gottlieb Koke joined with August Friton to run the company. The next year it was leased by Ludwig Krauch. It died out soon thereafter.

In the same year, Andrew Betz and August Friton established a brewery where Gennan Park is today. It was burned down by the Sioux Indians in the 1862 Uprising - the chimney of this old "Waraju Distillety" stands yet today. Friton rebuilt in 1864 and called it the "City Brewery." It continued under various owners and names until it was dissolved in 1917. Two other breweries the Bender Brewery and the .J.B. Carl Brewery - were established in the late 1860's, but they lasted only a short time.

The two breweries that had a lasting mark in the New Ulm brewing industry are Hauensteins and Schells. Hauensteins was founded in 1869 by John Hauenstein and Andrew Betz. Hauenstein came lo America in 1852 and settled in Cincinnati, Ohio. r1Ve years later, he came over to New Ulm and worked as a cooper. During the Sioux Uprising of 1862, he enlisted in the army, and is even believed to have fired the first shot against the Indians at the Battle of Milford.

Two years after this, he and Betz went to work on a new brewery. By 1871. Hauenstein gained sole ownership or the brewery.

During the next ten years, he worked on upgrading the brewery, only to see all his

one-to-one relationship between the teacher and the student.

Contrary to rumor. teachers do not dream up hard tests and assignments in their spare time. Professor Koelpin likes to read and write. He even has some publications to his name. He loves photography and the outdoors. He likes to try his green thumb at gardening. He also admits to being a frustrated artist. \-\'hen he is in Europe, he â&#x20AC;˘ finds immense pleasure in showing people around. Of course his greatest pas time is being with his wife and his four children.

As an experienced teacher. he has advice for future teachers. He feels our generation needs to turn things around. He think there

He pointed out the wonderful privilege of professors and students sharing a time together in Chapel worshipping God. The question came up of changes in DMLC. He thought hard on this question, but he admitted to not being much of a radical The one thing he regrets is not being able to know all the students. He remarked that you cannot wish yourself back in time, but he did like the simplicity of the past. Even the size of our student body does not allow a

We must make the best use of the time when we have the children in the classroom. Too many students do not have homework. or else they neglect it or do a careless job. He also pointed out the need for discipline.

Even though we might not be able to use the rod, we should use the apple of the Christian heart and love. Last, but certainly not least. we should be ourselves. II is not necessary to role play; they will love you for yourself.

BREWERIES AND BEER

efforts destroyed in the big cyclone of July, 1881. True to German spirit, he wouldn't give up, He continued brewing in the open air until a new br'!wery building could be erected. In 1910. m15fortune struck the brewery again. Tremors from nearby blasting in the New Ulm quarries had weakened the foundations of the beer storage house. and one day it collapsed, taking the entire stock of 2,000 barrels of beer with it, and flooding the brewery driveways besides. The company pushed on and rebuilt again.

John Hauenstein died in 1914, afternearly fifty years in the business. and was succeeded by his sons Charles and John Jr. By 1915, the brewery had a capacity of 25,000 barrels per year - just about enough to keep most New Ulmers filled and happy.

In the years after, Hauenstein continued to prosper and expand. It became a rather popular beer in the Midwest for a number of years. The crunch of the big breweries in the late 1960's caused Hauenstein to lose considerably financially, and, in 1970, owners Roger Schmid. John Heymann, and Ernie Eyrich made the decision to sell out to Gottlieb Heileman Brewing Company in La.Crosse. Hauenstein's New Ulm beer is still made and sold today under the auspices of Schmidt-Grain Belt A number of native New Ulmers I talked to said it just isn't the same old Hauensteins it used to be, though.

Today, the old Hauenstein buildings are used by Kraft The last of the breweries we wish to give attention to is Schells - clearly the most colorful and, perhaps, the best known of New Ulm's breweries. Just as Old Milwaukee is the beer that made Milwaukee famous, so Schells is the beer that made New Ulm famous.

Schell's Brewery was established in 1860

by August Schell. Schell had come from Germany in about 1848 (legend even has it that he came over on the same boat as

Joseph Schlitz), and finally settled in New Ulm in 1856 as a machinist at the New Ulm Globe flour mills. During the-Sioux Upru.ing.. he and his family fled to St. Peter for refuge.

Fortunatety, their brewery was not harmed by the Indians - only two barrels of beer were missing. He was able to return to business soon thereafter. The brewery experienced considerable success. and, once Hauensteins was established, a sort of friendly rivalry existed. On one occa'iion, shortly after August Schell made some big improvements in his brewery. the New Ulm paper noted (Sept. 17, 1879) that "Our worthy brewer John Hauenstein, not to be outdone by his neighbor is making some very extensive improvements in and about his establishment ..." Schell, because of his location in the Minnesota Valley, escaped the damage of the big cyclone of I 881.

Before his death in 1891, he completed a beautiful mansion and the famous Deer ~ark. The Deer Park once had numerous wild animals in 1t. including peacocks. a brown bear. raccoons, storks. and as many as 42 deer. Today, there are still animals in the park.

After August died. his son, Otto, took over and continued to expand the company. He gamed note in the brewing industry for pioneering a new system of fermentation and storage called "vacuum brewing." Out of this new system arose the famous "Schell's Vacuum Tonic." After Otto's death, his sister Emma's husband. George Marti, took over. The Marti family continues to run the brewery to this very day.

Schells managed to survive the difficult years of prohibition - something many breweries did not. For many years, it operated a free beer tap room primarily for employees. Visitors were welcome. of course, and many did stop in occasionally, although there were a few regulars too.

Schells also sponsored a group of musicians for a time, known as the Schell's Hobo Band

It played at numerous events in New Ulm and the surrounding area for many years.

P.wll. werlil aven..uuner..\-.i,y~ 1

Schells. It never quite made it. though.

In recent years, Schells has become well known for its variety of can designs.

Collectors throughout America have tried to get their hands on the cans. A number of local people have extensive collections of the different cans and bottles. New Ulm mayor '"Red" Wyczawski is one avid collector. I've even started collecting them myself. The museum out at the brewery has many of the cans on display- take a trip out there sometime (if you can find it) and see them, and get your free glass of Schells to boot.

Perhaps the most remarkable thing about Schells is that it has survived the onslaught of such big breweries as Anhauser-Busch.

Miller, Pabst, Coors, and Heileman. Schell's president Warren Marti attributes this to the brewery's product and packaging. He notes that "A lot of small breweries didn't keep up with the times. Packaging has changed so much- you're either with it or you're lost."

Today. Schells. now registered as a national historical site, produces between 40,000 and 50,000 barrels of beer a year. Sales have increased annually. There is even a bar in the Twin Cities which serves nothing but Schells and yes, business is good Recently, the brewery also began sponsoring a brand new beer called Ulmer Lager Beer. It's selling pretty well, too. Marti is confident that Schells will hold on strong in the future, although he admits anything can happen in business nowdays.

So, Schell's Brewery goes on, continuing to add to the character and charm of this old German town. Indeed, all in all, it really IS a "grand old beer."

BEYOND THE OPENED DOORS by ,'tfarjean Burbach Guest Writer Rock music has come of age indeed, having survived a stormy adolescence.

What was once considered to be an unstable, volatile trend in contemporary music has, ironically, setUed down amidst and conformed to the comfortable middle class values it was originally designed to shatter.

Rock musicians, via designer jeans, silk shirts and blow-dried hair, are making an allout last ditch effort at becoming respectable. ( I suspect there are some very concrete economic reasons for this, but I won't go into them here.)

What I do want to discuss is the strong reaction that has resulted from the stawiant. tasteless state in which rock music is currently trapped. People looking for music that embodies passion, pain. excitement, and change are looking back to the days of ' classic rock', ( a term spawned by the current"60's revival): The Yardbirds. Cream, Jimi Hendrix, The Kinks, and most significantly. the Doors.

We are in the middle of a full-scale Doors revival. Bryn Briedenthal, vice president of public relations for Elektra/ Asylum records quoted as saying in 'Rolling Stone· that: 'The group is bigger now than when Morrison was alive. We've sold more Doors records this year than in any year since they were first released. Door's fan clubs. T-shirts. bumper stickers and other memorabilia attest to the phenomenal growth of the Morrison/ Doors cult. What is phenomenal about this is that Jim Morrison (who, any rock music listener \\ill tell you was the Doors). has been dead now for ten years.

'TTlis type of resurgence ol popularity with accompaniea increase Oljllroduction sales was unheard of prior to the Doors revival. .lust what is causing all this Doors

hysteria anyway? The Messenger recently printed an article entitled Re-opening the Doors. In it, the author suggests that, in addition to the attraction of Jim Morrison's charismatic intrigue, the Doors have been resurrected largely through the power of their music which ..embodies a unique flavor of feeling not often found in most musicians' work." While this is certainly true. the author neglected to say just what this "unique flavor of feeling" was. The author suggests that we all charge headlong into the Doors experience; "If you·ve never heard the Doors before, try them!"

I think there is much, much more significance to the current popularity of the Doors than the writer of the previously mentioned article sugge.c;ts. I also think that anyone who decides to listen to the Doors should carefully examine the motives that Jim Morrison, chief writer for the group, had in mind when he presented the world with some of the most brilliant. creative. shocking. and often degenerate words and music it had ever heard.

Morrison was described by the author of "Re-opening the Doors" as "a maverick, a uniquely talented, colorful individual, - one of the few rock musicians to have a bachelor·s degree." If this sounds as if Morrison was your basic fun-loving guy, a rock singer who happened to be blessed with intelligence in addition to good looks, you're already on the wrong track. While Morrison was intelligent (he had an IQ of 1·19) he also had a full share of serious psychological disturbances. Jim Morrison was an alcoholic. Doors producer Paul Rothchild is quoted as saying to " Musician" that Morrison was drunk 90',\; of the time. His inebriation was often to such a degree that his brain went into a state of psychosis hence the wildly destructive activity and

obnoxious behavior he was notorious for.

The content of Morrison's writing is further indication, for anyone who cares to look, of a very troubled mind Recurrent topics are matricide and patricide (parent-killing), drugs, incest. and a strange existential approach l o death which portrays it as sinister. yet glorious.

Morrison and the Doors took their name from Aldous Huxley's book about the drug LSD. The Doors of Perception. Herein lay the goal of the Doors: to serve as a medium and agitator to the exploration of the unknown, the forbidden. In short, the Doors were a living incitation to rebellion for rebellion's sake. Morrison said in an Elektra records press release:" I like ideas about the breaking away or overthrowing of established order - I am interested in anything about revolt. disorder. chaos, especially activity that seems to have no meaning." In college, :\1orrison did e.xtensive study in the field of psychology and became especially interested in the psychological neuroses of crowds. By the subtle use of body gestures. he could mcite anxiety that resulted in riots.

Morrison made use of this knowledRe at Doors concerts. The results were riots that could not be controlled by him or police.

True to his existential form. Morrbon did not take the riots seriously because in his view, they had no meaning.

The key to. perhaps, the closest understanding we will ever come to of Morrison lies in his constant reference to the philosopher Nietzsche. who advocated a Dionysian lifestyle. Morrison took il upon himsetr to become a Dionysian legend, living with an attitude of intensity and despair that pemetuated his nlcoholism and RtJllrnnteed him an early death. The amazing thing about this is that the rest of the world took this seriously. Sadly. this type of feedback from

the public only o~literated any chance he might have had for returning to the realm of normal existence. lncitation to rebellion, to break through the doors of conventional morality, and to effectively combine classical theater with music were what composed the drive behind the Doors. Morrison and the Doors are popular today because they represent something that the youth of today don't have - a culture of their own. The traditional values have all been challenged and the issue is passed. There is no counterculture for Theodore Roszak to write about There is no conflict no Viet Nam war, no draft to dodge, no political scapegoat, and. worst of all, no significant change. This is what motivates us to look back: a desire for originality of ideas, growth and change. And yet time inevitably distorts our view. The youth of the '80's couldn't possibly comprehend the intensity of the '60's. They wouldn't tolerate being cursed by a singer and told that they were a bunch of idiots. They can't take seriously the things that Morrison was dead serious about.

Listen to the Doors if you want to.

Morrison's tragic, shattered life left us a legacy. He opened the doors all the way but didn't li\"e long enough to realize that the same problems, the same alternatives, and the same existence lay beyond them.

A MILITARY CIVILIAN

by Terry .S. Schallert Guest Writer As a recent transfer student to DMLC, I guess I suffer as much as most freshmen from the language barrier or campus slang.

This barrier includes terms ("buffalo" et. al.) and acronyms (LMU, AC, etc.). However, unlike most others in this boat, I have a further handicap: ten ye:irs of military service in the navy. Allow me to explain this problem by giving an example of my typical Monday in the military terminology, in which ten years of ingraining forces me to think: 0640 - reville; roll-out: SSS; head to galley for chow/ SOS after policing berthing area · tricing rack and stowing gear ad,ift.

0730- chow 0750 - return to barracks to get books and head for first two classes.

0805 - Edu I 0900- Edu 56 0955 - Chaplain penant hoisted; all quiet/ cease operations; chapel call.

1015 - head call and Eng2 (oral briefing techniques) 11 IO - Religion 1205 - chow run to galley; turn in for R&R Police berthing area prior to RTC. 1300 - Music I in D.H. 1355 - Math 1 1450 - Hum call 1545 - Strike the Ensign 1635 - Secure for the day. Liberty Call!

1700 -

chow at galley

I 900 - Chapel call. Charlie penant raised 1915 - Secure liberty for study.

2130 - If hungry head for mid-rats.

2230 - Taps 2300 - Lights Out: all quiet in berthing compartments.

Most of this only a military person can decipher, some only a sailor. For instance. we all know that the" head" is the lavatory •• right? Why then is there the sinking feeling that asking directions to the "head" will get · me explicit instructions to the president's office or one of the deans. Thank goodness I don't need directions to find the wave cage.

Terminology isn't the only problem. For the majority of my years in service, the only persons in actual authority over me were officers. Officers are saluted. Now, I find myself expecting that those currently in authority over me are also " officers," The other day I was walking towards the LMU when Tutor Pasch turned the comer and was walking toward me. I caught myself halfway to a lull military salute. The list of people around here who evoke that reflex from me is ridiculous.. Just imagine Dean Zarling's response to the first military salute he gets! Of course, President Huebner is the C.O. (Commanding Officer), as far as my mind is concerned.

Then there is that other language barrier.

No one around here uses those terms

either. I don·1 even use them .. . anymore. I admit it, I'm not proud of it, but the truth is the truth, and in an atmosphere where that language is generally accepted and used, one falls into that use all to easily.

So, there 1t is: freshmen. you're not alone, and since you are not asked to translate

when you say something, you've got it made.

By the way, where acronyms are concerned. one of the biggest consumers of the data I produced while in the navy was COMPATRECONFORSEVENTHFLTADCOM KAMI SEYA JA. Eat your hearts out. amatuers.

GIVING BLOOD WOR KS

by Dawn Rosenau News Editor On October 20, 198 I, many people showed the true spirit of love. Two hundred forty seven people attempted to give of themselves by generously donating their blood. Amazingly, only ten of these generous human beings were refused. and therefore 237 pints were gathered here at school. This was an outstandmg dnve, which proves love for your neighbor is indeed alive.

Mike Mundstock was in charge of this drive, and he surely got his share of students to be victims. Mike even gave blood for the first time. and he realized that it is not so bad Now, after all the blood has been removed. the work only just begins.

Within four hours after the blood had been drawn from the victims, it had to be at the St. Paul's Red Cross Center. This

required four shuttles to rush the blood to St. Paul Here they test the blood and label it.

With this specific batch of blood they spun the platelets off of the whole blood The platelets are then given to chemotherapy patients. Chemotherapy destroys platelets, and if they gave these people whole blood, it would drown their systems.

Plateletes only make up a small part of a unit of blood. The remaining red blood cells and plasma is given l o hospitals for many other uses. nie blood that we gave went to Rochester after all of the spinning and labeling had been taken care of at St. Paul.

Blood is such a precious part of life.

Nobody can live without it, but you can live without that one pint. Many lives wiU continue due to the love of the people who donated. Next year why don't you join the people who know how to give of themselves.

DEAR A

w N,

by Dawn Fuerslenau

DEAR DAWN, Why is it that Northwestern gets a 3-day weekend at midterm and we don't? I know that a break would be appreciated by most people after five tests, three papers, and an oral report, to say nothing of trying to keep up daily assignments. Can't something be done?

Signed, No Rest for the Weary Dear Weary, I can sympathize with you; it is hard to go from the beginning of school in August to Thanksgiving vacation without a break.

However, I can't really agree with your comparison to Northwestern. Just because they have a break doesn't mean we must,

page 5

too. After all it is only one extra day. You did have a legitimate question, though, so I talked with Deans Zarling and Schulz. They said that to have a midterm break in the calendar just hadn't worked out in the past, and that the first semester is already four or five days shorter than the second Accor ding to my information, having a midterm break may be discussed in the future. It's no comfort, but Dean Zarling stated, "We already have a break - a twoday one after every five!"

Hang in there - vacation's coming!

DEAR DAWN, I have a question. Why isn't the bookstore open during the hours it is supposed to be?

There have been countless times when I've tried to go to the bookstore only to find a sign on the door that says, "Back at 9:30" or some other time. Even though it isn't always open when the sign says. Also, sometimes the bookstore closes early at the lunch hour.

I realize that if theres no one in the bookstore before noon, the temptation is to close early. However, that is very frustrating for someone who perhaps plans to buy something right before 5th hour, only to find that the bookstore has already closed. I think that if the bookstore has set down certain hours of business, it should stick to them. If the times need to be changed, fine,

but the new times should be made known to all so we don't waste our time going to a closed bookstore.

Signed, Clock Watcher Dear Clock Watcher, I couldn't answer your letter, so I went and talked to the bookstore manager. :She was very glad to explain everything because she is concerned that students understand the reasons why the bookstore must be closed during certain times. Each morning and afternoon she is entitled to a break and usually goes over to Old Main, taking the mail with her. The manager's break is not at a set time because she waits until students are finished browsing and the bookstore is empty before she leaves. Sometimes a meeting or conversation holds her up, but she always tries to make it back at the time specified If she leaves early for the lunch hour, it is because she must go to the bank or post office. This doesn't solve the problem or finding the bookstore closed, but it is an explanation. Maybe ifa set time would be established for her break that everyone was aware of, the problem could be solved If you and others are concerned about the matter, I suggest you bring it up with the bookstore manager.

CHINESE LESSON

'

GLIMPSES THROUGH CHILDREN'S EYES Here on the hill we so often take our opportunity for a Christian education for granted. This month the Messenger found a number of articles on this subject written by upper grade children from St. Paul's Lutheran School for their Mission Fair. They are all entitled "What is the Value of Christian Education to Me?" These short essays should call attention to the seriousness and importance of our future roles as educators in the schools of our churches.

This is what it is all about Some people do not have any churches or pastors and teachers, or even the Bible that can give them Christian education.

But we do. That's why we should thank God forevermore for giving us the freedom to have Christian education through our schools and churches_ Now that we have it. we should give to missions and pray for God's blessing for those who can go and teach and preach to the unfortunate.

"Go ye and teach all nations ..." That's what Jesus said to us and everyone.

-Kari Black Christian education is important to me because I can learn the right way to heaven. I know that Jesus died on the cross for all of my sins. He died on the cross out of love and care for me so my sins are forgiven and that when I die I will be able to go to heaven.

The value of Christian Education to me is that I can go to a Christian School and learn about my dear Savior who died on the cross for me.

I can tell my friends about their Savior and how He died on the cross for their sins. I can become a missionary now because of my Christian education and so can you.

That is the value of a Christian education to me!

-Alision Lueck

It is hard to describe the value of a Christian education. It is a gift we all are

very lucky to have. And this one gift leads to many other gifts: the gift of being able to learn and study God's Word the gilt of our Savior Jesus Christ. the gilt of eternal life in heaven. These gifts should be something we treasure very highJy. And we should remember to thank God everyday for giving them to us.

-Beth Krueger The highest value of a Christian education is to know that Jesus l oves you and you are saved from the bondage of sins, death and from the power of the devil. We could never thank God for what He has all done for us. We should be glad and also give thanks unto our Lord. We should honor, serve and respect Him for His wonderful blessings He has bestowed upon us. I think that a Christian education is far more important than any person could ever realize. The value of a Christian education is to know that you are saved.

PIGGING OUT

by Carol Wuerch Guest Writer "Let's go pig out at the Round Table." ''I'm sweating Like a pig."

"Boy, her room looks Like a pig pen."

Do you know that each of the above statements contradicts itself? Yet, how many times a day do you hear these expressions or ones similar on campus?

Now is the time to get a few things straight.

Pigs of America, you have been used and abused long enough.

First of all. a pig is a hog usually less than ten weeks old. If you do not accuse a baby of overeating to grow up, how can you accuse a poor defenseless pig of such things?

Secondly, a hog has no sweat glands in its skin so it does not perspire. In fact, that's why you see them wallowing in mud The mud helps to cool and soothe their skin.

Hogs thrive much better in a clean surrounding.

Thirdly, if a hog is given a clean, cool environment, he will keep it clean. They also like their food and water clean. Can't you just imagine a sow yelling at her little pigs to wash their feet before they eat? Anyhow, you can't expect swine to be as neat as humans. We have hands. but all a hog has is a snout which must be used to lift. shove, dig, and eat food. When was the last time you tried doing all that with your mouth?

Remember Arnold in Green Acres? Well. they had the right idea Jt's time we give pigs more credit Scientists have found the hog to be more intelligent than cows, sheep, horses, and some dogs. When trained, they can perform difficult tricks. Furthermore. pig~ have long been known to make affectionate pets.

So the next time you go to the Round Table, cow out or pigeon in. The next time you go running, how about sweating like a horse? As for the pig pen line, it may be best not even to comment on someone else's . room. But whatever the case may be, let's give the pigs of America a fair chance. And remember. if you want a clean, intelligent. dependable pet - try a pig!

CORRECTION The last issue of the Messenger printed incorrect information regarding the article on Professor Sievert's Workshop on Humanism. The men written about in the article were not actually present at the workshop. However, papers written and submitted by these men were discussed at the workshop.

A student at DMLC recently spoke to an English Language class on the topic of the Chinese Language. Alb ert Szeto, from Hong Kong, knows the language well The Messenger asked him to reproduce a sample of the language that he had shown the class.

The Chinese characters above spell out the name of the college. However, they are actually out of order. Reading from the top down. each of the eight characters represents a different syllable. It means Dr, Martin Luther College. but actually says, Martin Luther Doctor College. The Messenger would like to thank Albert for sharing this language. DMLC may be quite a distance from Hong Kong, but that does not make learning impossible.

DIRECTOR Anne Demsien (Director of "Carnival")

"You're a very nice man." {photo by Dave Schroeder)

BEHIND THE SCENES "Carnival" is about to happen or, if you read this after the show, it has happened. The cast is anxiously awaiting to be ovt on stage.

The leads are silently repeating their lines over and over to themselves as they absently wander around The chorus is warming up one final time and hoping they do not forget their dance steps. Professor Hermanson has the orchestra off in a room ___. tuning up while he tells the reeds not to squeak. Stage people and lighting crews are making sure everything is in working order and all the props are where they should be.

Final stiches are being sewn in costumes and touch-up on make-up are being done. director is telling everyone to be calm and have fun, while inside her heart is pumping rapidly. The producer is praying everything will stay together. This is what happens before the actual performance but what about the long weeks that come before?

The musical was selected last spring just as "Showboat" was in its final stages. Also, the selection of director, producer, orchestra director, and chorus director took place before school was over last spring.

During the summer, these people were busily making plans. writing to each other, and trying to get things organized so when they came back this fall it was "dive head first" into the show. Already the first week back. plans were made concerning tryouts, people were talked to about building sets, scripts were ordered. and the overall chaos that surrounds a musical production began.

This year, special effort was given to encourage the new freshmen not to be shy and try out for ¡¡carnival" Finally, the week of tryouts came and the selections were made. For some it was a happy Friday and others a gloomy one.

Practices for "Carnival" started and with it many long, hard hours. Songs were learned. dances drilled over and over till no one missed a step, lines rehearsed, and the list could go on and on. However, while all this practicing was going on. other people were busy building wagons, making swords. painting, doing intricate designs, drilling, sewing, designing posters. distributing posters, selling tickets, making telephone calls, running all over the area on bikes and

in cars. making quick trips to the Cities, and the list can go on and on and on ... It takes many people behind the scenes for a musical to be a success.

While all thjs is going on, the orchestra is practicing the songs feverishly so that when they finally come together with the cast everything blends. They practice the songs over and over sometimes drilling one measure for a long time. In a musical, every note is as crucial as the next.

All this is happening in the weeks before the musical Everyone has his or her own job and when they can, they help others do theirs. Everyone is working towards the common goal-to put on a good musical.

Finally, after all this practice, it is 2 weeks before the performance and then I week, 4 days, 3 clays, 2 days, dress rehearsal. and then IBE PERFORMANCE. Everyone is excited and nervous the whole day. They attend classes, but their minds wander back to the auditorium stage where, in a few hours. they will be standing and be performing before hundreds of people.

Classes finally end and the AC in converted from classrooms into a performance hall. At 4:30 everyone involved starts eating. They begin putting costumes and make-up on by 5: 15. The cast is ready, complete in make-up and costume by 6:45 and the chorus goes in to start wanning up. In the meantime, the orchestra has started tuning and are ready to go into the auditorium by 7:25. The ushers have been in place since 6:45 and they are busy showing the people to their seats. The backstage workers have been checking things over since 6:30 and finally at 7:30, as the lights go down and the doors close, all the months of hard work begin to pay of[ as "Carnival" begins.

I hope this article has given you. the reader, an idea of all the hard work which goes into a production of this size. During the past months, everyone not only worked hard in "Carnival'' but also on their academic work. For many, it meant -late hours of studying after long hours of working on the musical It takes cooperation and much work on everyone's part, but on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday for those involved all the late hours, hard work. and rnugh times will be worth it.

SPORTS LANCERETTES HOPING FOR POST-SEASON ACTION

by Paul Wilde Sports Editor

A few new recrull!I help out the cheerleaders. (photo by Terry Schallert)

Since we last heard about the Lancerette netters, they have had their ups and downs.

They won one match, dropped three, and then won three more to up their overall mark to 14-8, and 3-2 in conference action.

The Lancereltes' first outing since the last writing was a romp for our netters. They walked all over St Theresa, 15-2. 15-2, and 15-11. In this match, Kris Clausnitzer killed five of nine spike attempts, and did not make an error in any of these attempts.

Then came an abrupt about-face as the Lancerettes were decisioned three times in succession. Gustavus Adolphus swamped the Lancerettes, 15-11, 15-6, and 15-4. Then St. Catherine nipped (some of you should know why I underlined those three letters) the netters in five tough games, 15-13, 13-15, 10-15, 15-2. 15-12. However, this loss was the closest the Lancerettes had ever come to beating St. Catherine and featured a remarkable performance by Beth Valleskey. The talented sophomore set two new school records - one for most assists in a match with 28, and the other for most

digs in a match with 26. Carleton overcame the Lancerettes 15-13, 15-12, 15-13 in the last of these three unsuccessful encounters.

The Lancerettes' fortunes once again changed suddenly as they rolled to three consecutive victories. The Lancerettes thrashed Concordia St. Paul. 15-8, 8-15, 15-8, 15-6, and routed St. Benedict, 16-14, 15-5, 15-7, before struggling to a tough victory over St. Thomas. l 5-10, 8-15, 18-16, 17 -15. In the first contest. Dania Habeck was forced to relinquish her normal duties and set, and performed well in her new role. Against St. Benedict, Lori Thompson slammed 7 ace serves and came up with some crucial serves to help pull out that close first game.

DMLC has been hurt by the loss of Barb Mueller (injury), who might be out for the year, although Lisa Quam has done a fine job as her replacement. With just one match left before state tournament action, Coach Wade and her team are hoping for a bid to the state meet. Will the Lancerettes go to state? If they do go to state, how will they fare? For the answers to these and other questions, tune in to this same column next month.

LANCER GRIDDERS NOW 4-3

"Everyone must hold his own man, but someone must dive for the football" ( photo

THE DMLC-NWC FOOTBALL RIVALRY

by Paul Wilde Sports Editor There are many great rivalries in the world of college football. For example. there is Ohio State and Michigan. Other examples include Yale and Harvard: Nebraska and Oklahoma; USC and UCLA; Army and Navy; Penn State and Pittsburgh: Doctor Martin Luther College and NorthwesternWatertown.

DMLC and Northwestern? Well, maybe that one isn't quite as famous as the other rivalries mentioned above. But, like the other rivalries, this game means more than almost any other game. year after year. in the minds or both the players and rans. The players want to win even more than usual. and put out that little extra bit of effort. The crowd is noticeably larger, more excited, and more vocal than usual.

However, the DMLC-Northwestern rivalry is also very dissimilar to these other great collegiate rivalnes. While I am sure there are friendships among the players and fans between other rival schools, many players and fans make the game special purely out of hatred for the opponent, their enemy the year round. The DMLC-Northwestern rivalry is much more wholesome in that once the game is over, almost everyone renews friendships with the opposing school. Our rivalry has a special attitude of comradery and kinship that the other rivalries don't have. There are family reunions, the reunions of old high school friends, and the ceaches meet old friends.

Furthermore. we realize that in a few years our Northwestern counterparts ( or DMLC counterparts in their minds) will be coworkers with us for the Lord.

The rivalry was made even more intense by the early dominance our sister sch°:>I•.

..

(actually, I think the label ''brother school" would be a more appropriate term in this case) established from the start of the series in 1972. Time after time, the Lancers entered the game optimistically only to have their hopes crushed It's not that the Lancers were hopelessly outmatched - they have had s~eral close contests where just a few plays could have made the difference between victory and defeat. Several examples are 1974, in which DMLC was defeated 14-8; 1978, when the Lancers bit the dust 14-9; and 1979, in which the Trojans nosed out the Lancers in a heartbreaker, 76. Last year the Trojans pulled out another close encounter, 16-13, although the margin of victory easily could have been wider. You would think that the odds would catch up to the Trojans, but they didn't as the Trojans raced to nine consecutive victories. and remained the only school DMLC had never beaten.

However, every streak must sometime come to an end, and this one turned out no differently. 1981 will be entered in the annals of history as the first time the Lancers had conquered the Trojans.

What will become of the rivalry now that the Lancers have finally beaten the Trojans?

I ( as well as coaches Gorsline and Krueger) think that the DMLCNorthwestern game will still be a very special game because of that special relationship between the two schools. There will probably be less pressure on the squads to win, but the fans and players alike should still feel the unique excitement this contest generates, and the game itself should still retain its good, clean. hard-hitting nature.

. ......

by Paul Wilde Sports Editor With only one more date left on the 1981 schedule, the Lancer eleven have surged back over the 50% barrier with a 4-3 record Since their homecoming loss to Concordia of St. Paul, the Lancers have posted two close wins in succession.

The first of these clashes came on a cold rainy Saturday at the College Bowl against Maranatha Baptist. However, the Crusaders' invasion was repelled by the Lancers, for the Crusaders only reached the DMLC Holy Land once enroute to an 11-6 victory for the Lancers. The stingy Lancer defense allowed only 137 yards and seven first downs, and twice held the Crusader s from scoring on golden opportunities in the final quarter, once on a Dean Johnson interception.

The Lancers drew first blood on a 23 yard field goal by Scott Herrewig in the first quarter. Near the end of the first half, the Crusaders appeared to be all set to take the lead as they marched to the Lancer I yard line. A Dale Uhlenbrauck interception, however, preserved the Lancers' 3-0 lead.

Midway through the third quarter, an untimely Lancer miscue gave the Crusaders the ball on the Lancer two yard line.

Maranatha took advantage of the break with a touchdown, and after the PAT attempt failed. led 6-3.

Not to be outdone, the Lancers countered with a touchdown of their own. One key play in the drive was a 36 yard flea-flicker from Eric Ziel to Mark Etemick. Then Herrewig connected on a 24 yard pitch to Scott Huebner. Herrewig tossed an 18 yard aerial to Ziel for six poi11ts. That combination clicked again on the two point conversion to give the Lancers an 11-6 lead, and the defense held on for the victory.

The tenacious Lancer defenders were led

by John Sebald ( ten tackles) and Paul Ryder (eight tackJes). Steve Toth's 68 yards rushing in 25 carries topped the Lancer ball carriers.

The following Saturday the Lancers invaded the Northwestern Trojans' corral in Watertown, Wisconsin. hoping to spoil the Trojans· Homecoming. The Lancers also came into the contest seeking to end Northwestern's domination. The Lancers had never beaten the Trojans on the gridiron. having suffered nine consecutive setbacks since the two schools started playing each other in 1972. Much to the delight of the Lancer coaches, players. and fans, the Lancer eleven ended a decade of frustration at the Trojans' hands with a thrilling 22- 19 triumph.

The game itself started out far from the wishes of Lancer rooters. however. The Troians galloped out to a 19-0 halftirn!! lead

and it appeared that the Lancers would have to suffer the agony of defeat again.

Much to their credit, the Lancers came storming back after the intermission. With 5:42 remaining in the third quarter Kevin Keller scored on a two yard run. Herrewig scampered into the end zone to successfully convert the two point conversion to make the score 19-8. At 11 :25 of the fourth quarter, the Lancers further narrowed the gap with a touchdown on an 8 yard aerial from Herrewtg to Huebner. The PAT failed so the score remained 19-14. Then. with 4:36 left to play, Herrewig connected with Eric Ziel on a 31 yard scoring strike.

Herrewig tossed the pigskin to KeUer for the two point conversion to make the score 2219, in favor of the Lancers.

The crowd watched breathlessly as the Trojans made a final effort to win the game.

Neivousness turned into joy for Lanrer t4Q.'?,•• as the defense held, thanks in part to an open field tackle by Paul Lutze that might have saved the game.

Several Lancers turned in good performances and key plays. Scott H errewig enjoyed his best game of the year, completing 15 or 24 for I 73 yards and one interception. Eric Ziel made two tough. clutch receptions - one to set up the second touchdown, and the second was the game-winning touchdown. Greg Stam made an important interception, and Dean Johnson led the defense with 9 tackles.

receiving love. ~1U1 college students packing and profe.ssors correcting tests. the approach of Christmas vacatio1 • gro\\ ; nearer. These and many other aC'li\ ities are si!-(ns that the most blessed occasion of the year is here: Christmas. Whal a happy ring that word has, bringing back nostalgie memoril'S of magic moments in our child-

hood.

Christmas at DMLC has this touch of specialness. but something is missing from my list of the signs of Christmas' Oh. how rnuld I leave out the treasured tradition of the Christmas Concert. with hundreds of students voices ral..;ecl in song. praising the holy birth of our Savior? This year, as in years p.ist. the Christmas Concert is a rnlmination of a full semester of pral·tice by the various choirs. It is rkh in talent and filled with feeling as everyone present sings their love of Christ.

The band. under the direction of Prof.

Roger Hermanson, will be setting the mood ....,ith a hair hour of instrumental music starting at 7:30 p.m. The processional. "On Christmas Night All Christians Sini,( by James l\lelby. will begin at 8:00, with all the choirs combined.

The theme of this years concert is "Now Sing We Now Rejoice," which will be brought out by congregational singing. Tiw choir's songs will be divided into three subthemes: We rejoice and sing of our Savior's coming, We rejoice and sin~ of our Savior's birth: and We rejoice and sing with joyful song.

The concert will have some traditional alltime favorites, like "Silent Night,'' and some

new original songs. The choirs participating in singing and rejoicing will be: Handbell Choir, under direction of Prof. Wayne Wagner, Treble Choir. under Joyce Schubkegel; College Chorale, under Prof.

Fred Bartel; Chapel Choir, under Prof.

Ronald Shllling; and College Choir, under Prof. Roger Hermanson.

Christmas is the time of many busy activities. v..,·c should always remember to take time out to praise and thank God for our greatest blessing. His Son. Therefore, I urge everyone of you to come to the Christmas Concert December 17th or 18th. You will not leave untouched by the spirit of Chri-;tian love. As Paul says in Gal. 5:6. "TI1e only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love." \\'hat better way is there of expressing our love than in song? It is a sign or faith.

Merry Christmas!'

EDITORIAL THE PERFECT PRESENT

by Miriam Zimmermann £d1tor-m-Ch1ef This year let's look a little deeper than in the Christmas catalog for the perfect present. Let's delve beyond the stocked shelves in the department store. Look for a present that cannot fit under any Christmas tree. Look for something that cannot be wrapped in red or green wrapping paper. Look for a present that does not have any price tag on it. Look for a present that is guaranteed for life. Look for something that can fit all sizes yet be very personal. Look for something that you wiU never want to exchange or return. It's very simple. Look for faith.

It is not an item in the catalog or on the shelf in a store. It will not fit under any tree and cannot be wrapped in Christmas paper. It's free and it guarantees eternal life. It can fit anybody and still be personal. Once one experiences it one should never want to return or exchange it. It's very simple. It's faith.

Allow the Holy Spirit to give you this gift of faith. Pray in order that you might receive a strong faith in which to receive your newborn Savior. The little Babe of Bethlehem is a gift to you and therefore, wilh faith in your hearts may you receive Him in happiness. Ifs too easy to accept Christ in a commercialized fashion. Just because Christmas is celebrated every year is no reason to routinely accept Christ. Very often we expect Christmas to come just as we expect our birthdays to come. Once December rolls around, we gear ourselves for Christ's coming. This is often done by shopping for presents, mailing out Christmas cards, and the busy routines of preparation. There must be a better way to prepare for the birth of One who would save us.

Possibly we could shop for that perfect present for ourselves before we do any other shopping. Maybe we could sit down and write a Christmas list to God praying for that special present with which to begin our Christmas season. With a strengthened faith in our hearts, we can focus every day before Christmas to the real reason why we celebrate the Day of Christmas. The quiet gift of a meditating faith will make the happiness of Jesus born in a manger even more blissful. Pray for a firm faith to weather the routines of Christmas and to receive Christ like never before. It's simple. The perfect present makes the perfect Savior that much more wonderful.

GUEST EDITORIAL SANTA'S ROLE IN THE CHRISTIAN'S CHRISTMAS

by Dawn Krenke Guest Writer Think of Christmas. \\'hat comes to mind?

All of us envision different things. based on memories, customs, traditions, and especially our Christian heritage. Pictures of Christmas creches dance before our eyes, along with angels. evergreen trees, stars, and Santa Claus. For Santa Claus. a figure originating in Germanic and Scandinavian legends. is most definitely a part of our Christmas festivities.

Family tradition can take most of the credit for Santa's inclusion with Christmas.

As children grow up and have families of their own. they usually carry on in their homes the customs they fondly remember from their childhood Indeed the very mheritance of Santa Claus rituals from generation to generation lends a warm air of nostalgia to the old story. Society, in general, tends to favor the Santa Claus legend. also. A simple look at the decorations display in any store can verify this, as can a glance at the listings of Christmas specials in the December television logs.

It is easy to understand Santa's popularity. Such a charming, likeable character is rarely found these days. Santa is a symbol of all that is good: merriment. generosity, kindness, fairness. and good old-fashioned fun. Parents are relieved to have such an image handy, for it is not often that such virtuous qualities are found wrapped in one package that yet appeals to children. And is it not good for children to have a fine, up-

standing hero for a change?

However, Santa does have one basic. under-lying fault. Christmas is. as a dictionary will tell you, "Christ's mass." Christmas is a religious celebration of praise and thanksgiving to our God for sending mankind a Savior from sin. Christmas is in honor of our Lord and King. And herein lies Santa's fault. For God does not share His honor with another - certainly not with a figure created by sinful men. "I am lhe Lord: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images." So speaks our God in Isaiah 42:8.

And according to a more familiar passage. found in Matthew 22, "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart. and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.'' As long as Santa Claus is a part of Christmas. as Jong as his jolly face is seen and his familiar name is spoken in connection with this holiday.

God's glory is being shared. if not neglected. and this ought not to be.

Aside from this major problem with Santa's intervention with the day commemorating Christ's birth, several other conflicts yet exist Santa Claus, or St. Nicholas, is a Roman Catholic saint. He is prayed to and worshipped in much the same way as Mary and the other saints. Now you may say, "We as Lutherans would never view Santa as such. If we don't take him in that way, what harm can he do?" The harm comes not only from the removal of God's glory, as I stated before, but also from the connotations sainthood leaves on Santa

Claus. Need we cause offense for someone who does not understand that "we don't take him in that way"?

Work-righteousness is also a facet of Santa's character. Think for a moment the legend states that Santa brings gifts to the good children, while the bad receive switches. Therefore, children behave themselves in order to insure delivery of their presents, in order to please the kind. generous, old man. How often have you not heard parents reprimanding their children by saying, ''You'd better stop it, or Santa won't bring you anything!" Is this what you want your children to learn - that good gifts are dependent on good behavior? To me, that sounds all Loo familiar. and consists entirely of the work-righteousness theme.

Yet I bear one more rebuke - "Santa is the symbol of the spirit of giving." But. why?

Is such a symbol needed? We have the ultimate symbol in Christ a gift of measureless worth given freely to undeserving wretches. Can Santa ever portray love and mercy, in short the "spirit of giving," better than this? As I have just noted. Santa· s giving is not free; rather. 1t is dependent on good behavior. Therefore, as a symbol of the spirit or giving, Santa Claus obviously falls short.

What purpose does Santa serve, then? All that is left to Santa Claus is a jolly, old man in a red suit who frequents chimneys.

I therefore conclude that Christians should leave Santa Claus out of Christmas entirely. Christmas is and should be for Christ alone. Imagine for a moment that Christmas is represented by the night sky.

Against the darkness are shining two stars - one quite bright, one a bit dimmer. The brighter star is Christ and his coming to this earth, and the other is Santa Claus. Now although Christ is dominant in the picture, Santa is still visible, and is still drawing some eyes from Christmas' true purpose to himseU, still taking some of the honor that is due solely to God. Is this how we thank our Lord for His gift of life, by making Him share His celebration with an individual that, if you take away his sainthood and good deeds. is nothing more than an empty shell with a red-cheeked, smiling mask?

I pray God that you carefully consider what I have said Usurping God"s honor is a serious error. and one which we should guard ourselves against. especially since we are molding the minds of many young souls by our adult example in this matter. Every Santa Claus image. every Santa Claus song, every Santa Claus ritual is an affront to a good and gracious God who gave the Best He had for sinners. Is this how we should show our thanks? Think deeply as you decide how to handle Santa Claus with your children. Think deeply. lest you dishonor the Bethlehem Babe, our Lord our Savior, and our King.

PROF. PROFILE - MEET PROFESSOR MARTIN SCHROEDER

by Dawn Rosenau News Editor How many students suffer through English Language and Composition Class'.'

Now let us have the truth. How many of you loved those classes? C Jkay. how many of you would have rather lived through the Chinese Water Torture or perhaps you thought it was tht' Torture'.' Professor Martin Schroeder is responsible for teaching many sections of these two classes. hut someday 1

am sure you will appreciate all of the work he forced you to do in his classes. Professor Martin Schroeder has a tou�h job trying to teach DMLC students to appreciate English.

I believe Professor Schroeder deserves a profile.

Professor Schroeder spent five years teachinR at Arm Harbor, Michigan. It was a mission school and he ran the whole show.

He especially loved teaching the kinder­ garten students and firsl graders. No. he did not try to teach them Othello. He taught them the conventional subjects. and he found it espedally enjoyable. He feels the hest teachers are needed at this level, due to the need of a firm foundation in their education. He then taught at Bay City.

Michigan, for five years. This was a two teacher school. and he also enjoyed his years there immensely. He then received the call to come here. That was twenty-one years ago. and he is still teaching strongly.

He finds the higgest challenge in his teaching at DMLC is getting students to realize the importance of looking at English.

They should look at all aspects and leam to appreciate it. From all of the complaints coming from English Language students and

composition writers. you probably think this is an unrealistic dream. Yet, Professor Schroeder remembers one of his students who told him right out that English Language was a worthless class. The following year this person received an emergency call. To his surprise and delight.

Professor Schroeder received a letter from

this student who told of her conversion. This student realized that English Language was not worthless. and Professor Schroeder passed out a copy of this letter to his whole class.

Professor Schroeder loves to read. He remarked that he does read more than just Shakespeare. He also likes to go to plays and he visits the Guthrie quite often. He also enjoys going to good movies. but the problem is there are not too many movies that he classifit>s as good.

He does have some advice to future teachers. He says that you should not be too dogmatic in your teaching of English.

Language does change and you must be nexible. If you can do this. your teaching of English will go much easier for your students.

The next time you write a letter home and complain about writing a composition or attending English Language Class. remember that Professo: Schroeder is only doing it to make you a better teacher. Thank you, Professor Martin Schroeder. for a very intriguing profile.

ERIENCES EXP NG CHI STUDENT TEA '

by Lourie Steeh_v .'iJaff Wriln Once again it is time for one of those ever popular articles on student teaching experiences. This time. however, I have some personal insights into the article since I have recently completed my student teaching experience at Mc1rtin Luther School in Neenah. WI. I can now sympathize with former returners who hated to leave the other side of the desk and through the telling of these experiences. 1 hope you too may understand and also begin looking forward to that special part of your senior year.

Gloria fink had a memorable incident. < )nt> day. the map she had pulled down came down ton far and draped her entirely. She hau pulled it down to point out the course C'olumhus took on his way to America. As Miss Fink carried the map to a t·orner of tbe

room one of her students madt:' this observation. "Boy. Miss Fink is strong, she can lift the world!"

During my experience. I found that there is never a dull moment in a room full of twenty-eight fifth and si.xth graders. Even correcting a sdence worksheet proved to be funny. One of the questions asked how scientists learn about the age of the moon.

Well. as all good science concentrates know. the answf'r is through a process called radioactive dating. Well. one of the si.-.;th graders quickly raised her hand to clarify the answer on the paper she was correcting.

The answer she had just said "dating."

Student teachers are not the only people who have interesting experiences. super­ vising professors do too. One of these ocrurred h, Professor Menk as he entered the first and second grade room und�r the tutelage of Miss Kathy Kudek. Professor

Menk is a rather tau man, and to a small first grader he must appear quite gigantic. One little guy e0dently thought so because Miss Kudek heard him nudge his friend and say as he pointed to Professor Menk. "Look at that teacher!"

Leaving the school after eight weeks was a sad day for most practice teachers. Bonita Schlenker was no exception. but one of her students was determined to ease the sorrow with a little gift. Miss Schlenker was quite touched by the thought until she found out what he wanted to give her. a live lovable kitten! Miss Schlenker explained that she would really love the kitten, but she lived in a dorm which has mies against housing pets. including kittens. But the boy had a solution.

Miss Schlenker could leave it in the pet shop until she went home. Fortunately, however, the boy forgot about the kitten and Miss Schlenker is kitten-less but happy.

NOBEL CONFERENCE

by Nancy Beck Guest Writer On October 6 and 7. 1981, sLx representa­ tives of the Senior class and three faculty members attended the lith annual Nobel Conference at Gustavus Adolphus College in Saint Peter. Minnesota. The students were Warren Backer, Nancy Beck, Glenn Erlenbusch, Paul Griepentrog, Jo Land­ vatter, and Carol Meier. The faculty members were Professors Richard Buss, John Isch. and Martin Sc.hroeder.

The therne for this year's conference was "The Place of Mind in Nature." This theme was presented in two concepts: What is the mind? and What is its influence on nature?

The speakers for the first day were: John

Archibald Wheeler ( Professor of Physics­ University of Texas). Czeslaw Milosz (1980 Polish Nobel prize winner in literature). and Richard Rorty ( Professor of Philosophy­ Princeton ). The featured speaker, Sir Karl Popper. ( British philosopher). was unable to attend due to illness. The speakers for the second day were: Ragnar Granit ( 1967 Swedish Nobel prize winner in Physiology).

Eugene Wigner ( 1963 Hungarian Nobel prize winner in physics), and Wolfhart Pannen­ berg (German Professor of Systematic Theology-University of Heidelberg).

In attempting to grasp the concept of the mind. the speakers agreed that the idea cannot be fully described. From a Christian perspective, we felt that the concept they

were trying to define was what we know as the soul.

From the speaker's perspective. the place of mind in nature is to be an active Jorce in the course of evolution. From a Christian standpoint. we recognize the fact that it is God and nut man's mind that controls nature.

We found the conference to be an unique opportunity for evaluating modern-day science in the light of Scripture. We thank the administration for this opportunity to observe and participate in the 1981 N�bel Conference. We found it to be a valuable, worthwhile. and educational experience.

NOTHING STIRRING 'Tis the night before Christmas

and all's in a mess.

Where are the Christmas Seals; what's our address'?

Somebody's hammering; there goes the phone.

Father is fixing the fuses Mom's blown.

The neighbors arrive with their presents for us.

We must find something for them without fuss.

Brother who's trimming the tree gets advice.

Sis ruins a gift wrap to take off the price.

Everyone's yelling, "The scissors are gone!"

We've run out of ribbon: it soun will be dawn.

The stockings we hung by the chimney with care Start smoking and one has started to flare.

OT H E LLO

by Gloria Dahlke Gues/ Wriler A limited number of tickets are available to students and faculty for the highly acclaimed American Shakespeare Theatre production of Shakcspeare·s Othello at the Orplieum Theatre in Minneapolis on \1./1:'dnesday. Novemb�r I I . 198 1 . at 8:00 p.m.

Do you remember reading this message in the Campus Memo? Have you ever won­ dered what it would bt> like to see a Shakespt>arian play? On Wednesday, November 1 1 . approximately forty DMl�C students and faculty members traveled to Minneapolis to view the play Othello.

Befort> viewin� a play. especially a Shakespearian play. it wou Id be wise to read a synopsis to be sure to understand what is going on. The play Othello is centered around Othello the Moor and his ensi�n.

Iago. Be<:ause Othello has appointed Cassio lieutenant instead of Iago. Iago tries to arouse suspicions in Othello· s mind as to the faithfulness of his wife. Desdemona. Iago succeeds in his task and Othello·s jealousy gets the best or him. and he smothers his wife in bed. When Othello learns the truth that his wife was faithful, he. in turn. kills himself.

Othello was portrayed hy one of the greatest known Black actors - James Earl Jones. Jones did an excellent job. When considering possible themes for the play, Jones portrayed how self- love defeats honor, honesty, and happiness. Jones out­ did himself in Act III when his temper hit an all time high. His powerful voice shook the theater as he e--<pressed how he felt ab<iut

his unfaithful Desdemona Iago. the ensign. was to be played by Christopher Plummer. but due to an illness.

Robert Burr took over. Burr worked well with Jones. although at times traits . of Plummer could be round in Burr's acting.

Nonetheless. Burr did an excellent job of being nmniving. dt>ceitful. and dastardly!

Desdemona was portrayed by the beauti• ful blonde-haired Karen Dotrice. Beauty was about the only thing Dotrice had going for her. Her shrill voice became annoying alter awhile, and her acting was not very impressive.

The rest of the supporting actors and actresses did a commendable joh, but they were no threat to Jones or Burr.

The scenes used in Othello were fabulous! Taking into consideration that the American Shakespeare Theatre is a travel­ ing show. one would expect the scenes to be simple hecause of all the moving and transporting involved in moving on to new destinations. This was certainly not the case.

Overall, I enjoyed the production of Othello and was glad to have had the opportunity to attend. I would encourage anyone to take advantage of such an opportunity if it should arise again in the future.

This article was written as an assignment for Professor Martin Schroeder's Shakespeare class. Professor Schroeder selected this essay to represent his class.

Thank you. Professor Schroeder and Gloria. fur sharing it with the Messenger.

GLIMPSES THROUGH CHILDREN'S EYES "Will you help me wrap up some love.

Grandma?" asked the little girl. "Thafs what rm going to give Mom and Daddy for Christmas."

Corny?

Sure.

But not to a five-year-old whose monetary wealth consists of a quarter and a few pennies hidden in a doll purse.

Still. when Grandma helped the little girl write a note of love on a simple card. the few tears of joy on Grandma's cheek made her realize that this was the most wonderful gift of alL Wouldn't it be something to gilt-wrap love for your family . . . gift-wrap the gratitude you feel toward those who are so much a part of you . . . .

Giving the gift of love is the most expensive, the most precious present on

earth, and money is unnecessary. Anyone with a heart can bestow it. Yet. few will give love, for it is so much easier t o buy a present and Christmas wrap it with red or green ribbons.

The gift of love, however, requires constant effort. for it must be ever renewed.

Yc,u must give of yourself - your thoughts and your sympathy. your smiles and your understanding, your unselfish acts, and your strivings to do right.

In addition tu presenting the bright store gifts on Christmas morning, try a simple kiss on the cheek of each member of your family.

And with that kiss. these words: " I love you, and I'll always try to deserve your love."

Sure . . . ifs corny. But it is the one true gift of Christmas as He gave it to the world Can you give less to your family?

EXPED ITION WITN ESSES KIDNAPPING b_y Cindy Lehmun Staff Writer Unless ont> live� in the surrounding area of New Ulm. off campus trips are not made often. However. that does not mean it is not nice- to get away from dorm walls, hooks. and papers for awhile. A chance to experience somethin� new. or to put it bluntly - escape. came on November 8. The DMLC Children·s Theater sponsored a trip to go s� the Children's Theater Company of the Mmneapolis Institute of Arts perform Kidnapped in London by Timothy Mason.

Our little expt-dilion was starting to get restless when the bus arrived a half an hour late with a substitute driver. Never fear however, he got us to the play on time.

It was a gorgeous day for riding. with Indian Summer still decorating tlw land­ scape. We spotted a few other things out on the beautiful day such as geese. deer. and strange bright orange walkin� figures. We even went rough riding down a Ion!( stretch of highway.

Once at the extravagant Institute of Arts. we were escorted to our balcony seats. The Shakespearian scene before us left us with gaping mouths. It had taken mu(·h work to

piece that setting together. The apparel of the actors was no different with pufk>d sleeves. pantaloons, and the whole bit.

Ali the title suggests. there wru; a kid­ napping. lllt> twelve year old hero was stolen away by a theatrical troupe for his lovely singing voice. However. we were not able to hear this voice. because the young thespian had lost it in a previous per­ formance. Nevertheless. the play was worth seeing even if it did not bave much uf a plot.

They even had a question and answer seminar for_ us.

Of course. the first thought after the play was food. Feeling we deserved a break. W<' headed for McDonakl"s. After ii refreshin� meal. it was on the road again. The two hour ride slipped by fast. How could it not with everymw singing their favorite pop. child· hood. and television program melodies. All in all it was a fun escape, ii just for awhile.

At a recent meeting. Children's Theatt!r members dmse The Elves and the Shoemaker for U1is year's play. Per­ formance dates are April 22 & :n. Work on tht' play will begin second semester Everyonf' is invited to try out.

CARNIVAL PACKS UP

by Wesley Steinberg Slaff Writer Greetings!

They say all good things must come to an end. and DMLC's presentation of Carnival was no exception. The musical was only around for a short while. hut I think the memory will live a bit longer. It was a good performance for everyone involved actors: directors; muskians: set, stage, lighting, and soun� crews - all helped to make the show a success. not only for the performers, but for the spectators as well.

The audience loved the musical and the ticket count certainly showed it. Approxi­ mately 2500 people attended four per• formances during the weekend of November 13. The feedback was in..;redible!

Carnival was a charming blend of drama. humor. and a heart-wanning touch of fantasy in the Disney tradition. The story revolved aruund a small, travelling French carnival twenty years after the turn of the century, llle storyline itself made it theatrically possible to present a variety of "shows within a show." At times, I imagined the actors were the "real" spectators. while we were only the stand-ins.

Looking back on it now, I feel that Lili and her puppet friends more or less made the show. I found myself waiting in pleasant anticipation for just one more view of those cute little rascals chatting away with Lili. who simply lit up the stage with her lovely smile and charming manner. Those few scenes of theirs seem to stick in my mind as the besL Maybe it's because of the universal appeal of puppet characters themselves. such as Jim Henson's Muppets. that cause people like me to always want more. It could be. But I think it's due to the child hidden in all of us. Our innl!r self only waits fur a chance to break out of its shell and enjoy itself. Lili and all her friends in the carnival helped us to enjoy ourselves, by letting a very important part of our personalities come out to play.

and the recorder, conducted workshops for the group and acted more or less as a consultant. His accomplishments are as impressive as the Minstrels themselves.

When will they be on campus? That's an easy one. The Abbey Min&trel& will perform [or us on January 10, 1 982. in the Chapel•Auditorium at 7:30 p.m. (central time). They will also present an afternoon workshop earlier in the day. Admission is at the surprisingly low price of nothing - the show is absolutely free. (I just heard 700 checkbooks breathe a sigh of relief! )

What will they perform? Only the Shadow knows. As of this writing I have no further information on their program. But I will say this - you will be thoroughly entertained.

Trust me.

So - if you·ve nothing better to do on the second Sunday in January than watch students attempt to traverse the icy campus library ramp (without breaking something vital). why not come and listen to thf' Abbey Minstrels. 8C".sides, I'll be there. What more incentive do you need?

DEAR DAWN

DFARDAWN, I'd like to useyour column as an avenue to the public. I have an apology to make. but since I'm unsure to whom I owe it, I'd like to apologize publicly.

I recently received an anonymous letter asking me to stop chewing gum in class because the way in \\hich I crack it disturbs people. The complaint is legitimate: I am at fault and have been unknowingly cracki11g gum for years. At first. I felt the letter was a good, mature idea on the writer's part tu privately tell me to stop. Upon rereading it, I realized it was a group effort, a bit tactless, and cniel. BuL that's OK! The point is, rd like to apologize to those sophomores ·whose GPA's I've destroyt•d during tests.

DFAR DAWN. I've been at Luther for several years and have always enjoyed evening chapel because the senior men all bring such refreshin!,lly new insights to their semwns.

But I am puzzled about the proceedings of morning chapel. Why have I never heard some of the professors':' Are they considered the less capable speakers among the faculty? Or is there an unproclaimed hierachy they must climb? I'd enjoy hearing these talented men also.

Signed, A Regular Chapel Attender Dear Regular, You·ve got it all wrong. They are not considered less capable. nor is there "an unproclaimed hierachy they must climb."

Those professors who give chapel sign up to do so on a purely volunteer basis Some just don't choose to exercise this privilege. In your letter you included a list. which I deleted, of those professors who haven·1 led a chapel service. However. you included at least one professor who ~as conducted chapel many times. You must have just overlooked him in your regular chapel attendence.

A GLANCE THE WILD(E} WORLDOF SPORTS. FALL SPORTS REVIEW hy Paul \Vi/de Sports Editor DMLC sports enjoyed a banner year this past fall. Many firsts were achie,:,ed. ai1d many HOals were reached by both indi­ viduals and teams.

The Lancerette volleyball team especiaUy rose to lofty heights. They finished the regular season with a 16-10 record, 3-2 in conference action. They were invited to the state tournament. and pocketed fourth place. their best · showing ever. Lori Thompson received the special honor of being selectE>d to the state all•tournament team.

Moreover, the Lancerettes received an at­ large berth in the AIAW Region 6 Division Ill tournament for the first time ever. The Lancerettes surprised a lot of people by advancing to the quarterfinals before finally bowing out of action. They also defeated St. Catherine's for the first ever, no small feat since St. Kate's went on to finish first in their half of the draw.

Statistical leaders for the Lancers. complete through the state tournament, were: Service aces - Lori Thompson; Longest serving streak - Dania Habeck; Spikes killed - Thompson; Assists - Beth Valle,skey; Perfect passes - Thompson; Blocks - Liz Petermann; Digs and saves - Thompson. Congratulabons. ladies. for a terrific season!

The Lancerette .IVs also garnered a successful season. They closed the campaign with a sparkling 9-4 record. They improved considerably during the year, and some Ns even moved up to the varsity.

They gained a good deal of experience. which will help next year's team.

The football team also achieved high goals. They compiled a 4-4 slate. tying their best mark ever. and defeated Northwestern­ Watertown for the first time ever. The Lancers didn't fare as well in the1.r own conferences, however. going 0-4 in the TRCC and2-3 in the lipper Midwest Football Conference.

Several Lancers received all-conference laurels. In the UMFC. Paul Ryder, Russ Hurst. Greg Stam. and Eric ZieJ were named all-conference and Mike Butzow.

Steve Toth, and John Sebald were honorable mention. In the TRCC. all­ conference selections were Paul Ryder and Mike Butzow, while Russ Hurst, Eric Ziel. and Greg Stam were honorable mention.

Team '.'v!VP's for various positions were: olfensivt> line- Butzow; defensive lineman Ryder; offensive back - Toth; defensive back - Stam; offensive receiver - Ziel.

Statistical leaders were: interceptions Stam: tackles - Sebald. Ryder, and J lm Brandt; rushing yardage - Toth, Mark Etemick, and Kevin Keller; rushing average - Rollin Timm; passing - Scott Herrewig (85-185-962-23); and receiving­ Ziel for most catches. and Scott Huebner for yards per catch.

At first glance. the results of the women's cross country meets don't look very impressive. It is true that most teams beat

them. It is also true that a lot of little things went wrong and that lhe team never really pulled it all together at the ri�ht time.

However. a closer examination shows many good things also o,curred during the year. Despite the poor placements in comparison to other schools, this probably was the best women's cross country team the school has had The times were lower than ever before. The problem was that the quality of competition a"tso improved tremendously.

The Lancerettes also raced past St Mary's and Winona State every time the schools squared off against each other.

They are pretty big schools. and badly wanted to avenge their setbacks to the Lancerettes in later meets. Coach Paul Boehlke was especially pleased with their 22-35 win (in cross country, the lower number is the winner) at St Mary's.

The season also benefitted the Lan­ cerettes by giving them more experience. It was also the biggest squad DMLC has ever fielded. and Boehlke is hoping that these factors, combined with the team spirit evident this year, will help the Lancerettes next year.

Janice Kant. Salty Jacob, and Judy Wetzel ( in that order) were the top harriers this year, 1l1eir best times over five kilo­ meters were 20:50, 21:37, and 21:52. respectively. Here are the meet results.

Unfortunately, the men's cross country statistics are not currently available, but I will give some general facts. They were hurl by the runner crisis (_shortage of runners) and by illness, but they still did fairly well, finishing near the middle of the pack in most of their meets. They placed third in their only home meet, a quadrangular. Overall. the top three runners ( in order) were Tom Kirkman, Jim Rademan. and Jason Muench.

All things rnnsidered. the fall athletes enjoyed many successes. Many new levels of accomplishments were reached Now the spotlight shifts into the gymnasium as basketball starts. Hopefully they too (the basketball tean1s) will taste victory often.

lANCERETTE BASKETBALL HOPES HIGH

by Paul Wi/d11

Sports Editor

The prospects of success for the 1981-'82 Lancerette basketball team. in contrast to the bleakness of the winter season, look pretty bright. II I were Paulie the German ( as in Jimmy the Greek}, fd bet on a good season. Nearly everyone from last year's quintet is returning to action, and last year's team wasn't any slouch. In fact. they tied for the conference championship. and grabbed fourth place at state after being seeded second Because of the extended volleyball season, head coach Barb Leopold hasn't had much of a chance to assess the new additions to the squad. However. she did give me some other insights into other phases of this year's ball club, especially on those regulars last year who are returning.

There are seven returning players who saw considerable playing time last season, three of them seniors. They are Lori Thompson.

Liz Petermann. and Barb Mueller. Lori Thompson is a forward. and may be the best rebounder and defensive player on the team. Pet�rmann, a center. excels at force­ feeding opponents (Jhey eat when she blocks their shots) and at boarding. Mueller. a guard. is the long-range gtmner in the Lancerette's arsenal of offensive weapons.

Two juniors. Kris Clausnitzer and Karla Thiesfeldt, and two sophomore, Lisa Quam and Dania Habeck, are also integ.ral returning players. Clausnitzer, a forward,

may be the best all-around player on the team, and is very consistent. Thiesfeldt has improved by becoming more aggressive, and also enjoys cleaning the backboards while playing center. Hustle and offensive ability are Quarn's forte. She is a guard.

Habeck is a quick battling for the point position.

Five other sophomores and six freshmen round out the final roster. Leopold is hoping they can provide good bench strength for the club. The sophomores are Kate Martin,

I

Joan Solofra, Carolyn Vo88, Jeanne Matuszak, and Judy Putz. Two of the more promising freshmen are Rhonda Atchison and Yvelte RadL CompleUn� the roster ar"' Kristin Redlin, Teresa Melcher. Diane Lehman, and Patty Bintz.

The Lancerettes have the ability to accomplish much this year. In addition to their returning letter-winners, they also have excellent height. Tl1at should result in better rebounding and more possible fast breaks. Teamwork and attitude will make a big difference in how the Lancerette fare. If all works out well. they shoulc.l have a· successful season.

CHEERLEADERS CHOSEN - The new cheerleaders for the next year were recently chosen. Congratulations to Bridget Storey ( captain). Marsha Abel, Brenda Bode, Dawn Gronholz. Carol Leins, and Tammy Wegner!

AT SPORTS I NT RAMU RALS AT DMLC

by Paul W,tde Sport:; Editor Intramural sports and game room tournaments ( for the sake of brevity. I'm putting both under the term of "intramurals" in most of the rest of the article) play a big part in DMLC's extra-curricular a<.'tivities. A majority of the students here take part in at least one of the activities they offer. Evidence of this is readily seen by the ~real participation in ba-;ketbaU and volleyball.

There are nine intramural sports offered to DMLC students. five of them for the men. and four for the women. Men's activities include tennis, football. basketball. volleyball. and softball. \\!omen can participate in softball, basketball. volleyball. and badminton.

In past years there ha\"e only l>een two ~ame room tournament activities, pingpong and pool. lllis year there will also be several other tournament games offered, such as backgammon. lntramurals have several advantages over interscholastic sports. First of all. you don"t have to be a good athlete to play intramurals and have fun. Most anyone. no matter how big or small, can partic:ipate.

Scccmdly, mtramurals don•t have the pressure to perform well or to win that interscholastic sports have. and that c:ornmonly makes intramurals more enjoyable to participants. Thirdly, intramurals don't devour the huge chunks of time that interscholastic sports do, so the student doesn't have to devote nearly ac; much of his attention to sports. resulting in more time for other activities. These are a few of the advantages intramurals have when compared to interscholastic sports.

However intramurals don·t get the publicity that interscholastic sports do.

Usually only interscholastic sports' athletes bask in the limelight, so rm going to try to remedy that to a degree. While I personally feel everyone is a "winner" in intramurals.1'11 list the people and teams characterized as "winners" from a won-lost standpoint, the champions since the last intramural article. I had great difficulty in unearthing this information from the vast recesses of foggy memory banks across the campus. including my own ( my memory has been known to fail me on extremely frequent occasions). so this list may contain an error.

If there is a mistake in the midst of this data. please point it out to me ( Box 467) so I can correct it. First of all, I'll list the game room tournament winners.

LANCER CAGERS LACK E_ XPERIENCE

by Paul ~i-i"/de Sports Editor The fortunes of the 1981 Lancer quintet rely heavily upon question marks. This year's cagers, coached by Dennis Gorsline, lack experience. The Lancers are smarting from the loss of most of last year's regulars. They are short on game experience. and they also have not played to~ether long enough to develop the cohesiveness to successfully coordinate the actions of the players. How well the inexperienced players replace last year's seasoned veterans ·will play a huge part in determining how the Lancers will fare.

Only two of last year's letter winners, Paul Thlesfeldt and Glenn Davis, are returning to action. Thiesfeldt is a senior cocaptain playing forward, while Davis. a sophomore guard. quarterbacks the club.

However. the Lancers will gain more experience and height at the semester break. when senior Craig Morgan, an allconference selection last year, will return to the hardwood Another large question mark ( and I mean "large." at least in the first of the two) rests upon Jim Unke, a semor co-captain, and Tim Torgerson, a special junior. Unke was the starting center two years ago, but missed last season while out emergency teaching Torgerson. a top JV player of two years ago, also missed last season. Gorsline 1s hoping the two can recover from the layoff and quickly regain their form.

Several players who didn't letter last year also are returning to sport the maroon and gray. Dan Schultz, a quick junior guard has shown great improvement over last year.

Tim Pieper, a sophomore guard-forward who lS a good all-around athlete. is an especially proficient outside shooter. Dale Oecbler, a sophomore guard is also returning (after a year's absence) to basketball. Tim Lehman, a sophomore center, and Bob Rebera, a sophomore forward. have both shown tremendous improve, ment

.

. .. . ...

.

Five freshmen are on the roster this season. Gorsline has high hopes ( once a~ain. I really mean "high ') for special freshman Todd Boelter, who is the tallest player on the squad. He has a soft touch on his shots. which is unusual for a person that tall. Scott Bleichwehl, a forward, is a promising prospect John Robinson, also a forward has a lot of talent, but needs to learn the Lancer system. Tim Kassulke, a guard and Jerry learner, a forward. are two more hard-working freshmen without an abundance of experience.

It's very hard to predict a fate for this year's quintet. They are inexperienced, and much depends on how fast they become familiar with each other's tendencies.

However, they are hoping to make up for their inexperience with hustle and balance.

Hopefully they will jell quickly and have a successful season

SNOW CARNIVAL WEEK A SUCCESS

by A.'urt Rosenhaum Staff ~i ·riter 11 all be~an weeks before Christmas. Snow Carnival Committee Chairperson Karen Janke had assif,(ned people to all I hat had to be done. TI1e intent was to have a highly successful and enjoyable Snow Carnival week. the culmination of v. hich would be the coronation of a new quecu to succeed Miss Beth Worgull.

"The Sounds of Music"' was cho:-e.11 a.c; the theme. ,\II the classes \Wrt• then to center their skits and their snow srnlptures around that theme.

TI1e entire school got involved. Many si~necl up for the broomhall tournament which was to Sl'rve as the opening event on Saturday. January 16. The tournament however, was postponed for a week due to arctic temperatures far helow zero ( undoubtedly caused by a mac;sive highpressure system in our area).

Tltt.· week. therefore, ,ctually began at

Master of Ceremony, Tutor Kenneth Pasch

i:30 p.m. on Sunday W1th th Faculty-Senior Basketball game. The seniors came out victorious, 49-36. During halftime each of the queen candidates was introduced in a short skit they had worked up. 1bese seven junior women were elected by their class in December along with seven male escorts.

Those chosen fourteen were Laura Pankow and Joel Raasch, Peggy Hassler and Erle Ziel, Julie Ulrich and Jeff Essig, Bridget Storey and Nate Sebald, Polly Eldler and Brian Zunker, Beth Schlbbelbut and Dave Ebert, and Monica Schmitzer and Clair Jammer.

The next big event of the week was on Wednesday night. The site was the DMLC auditorium: the time, 7:30 p.m. It was Skit and Queen Competition night. There were several emcees for the evening. all coordinated by our own Tutor Kenneth Pasch. First up was that famed orchestra conouctor from Boston. Pops.

TEACHING EXPERIENCES by four e Steeby Staff ~iir,ter By now most of the second quarter student teachers have once again resumed their niche in the social structure of DMLC. but the memories of the joys of student teaching will not be soon forgotten. Once again we talked to a few of the teachers and heard some memorable incidents.

A couple of the student teachers learned how helpful children can sometimes be to those who are new to the job of teaching.

Mr. Mark Gllmore had an embarrassing

situation when he was reminded by a student to try using the other side of the eraser.

It seemed that Mr. Gilmore had been having a little trouble getting the thing to work until one of his students whispered to him from the front row, ''Mr. Gilmore, why don't you try using the other side?" Miu Mary Haag enjoyed everything about teaching except playing the piano. For quite a while she had been using her own unique style without paying too much attention to the time signature. One day however, one student came up to her and politely asked her not to be offended. but that if she wanted. he would be "'ilfing to play piano for her on Monday, so ML-;s Haag gladly accepted!

Sometimes the funniest things happen during recesses or at lunch breaks. Mr. Jlm Rademan had such an incident happen to him when he was eating lunch. The people with whom Jin1 lived owned a farm, and they always packed a thermos of raw milk for him. Mr. Rademan soon learned that in order to separate the cream from the milk it was a good idea to shake the thermos. WelL one day Mr. Rademan forgot to keep the lid on the thermos before he began to shake it and proceeded to make quite a mess all over the room. Mias Nancy Haug knew she had the love and affection of her students when she got her heel stuck in the hole on the top of a- manhole cover at recess. When her students saw that she was in distress, she soon had her own first grade rescue squad pulling on her leg in order to free her from her predicament In this series of articles we have been focusing on the funny incidents which occur during the student teaching experiences, but there are serious sides to it too. Mias

Barb Flemming experienced one of those "serious joys" of teaching. \\'hen Miss Flemming first came to the school Scott was a ftrst grade boy who knew v~ry little about his Lord and Savior. He had gone to church only occasionally with his grandmother, but now he was enrolled at the parochial school where Miss Flemming had the joy of helping lead him to Jesus. At first, Scott had to be told the very basics of Jesus· saving work for him. but as the weeks progressed the Holy Spirit used Miss Flemming and her supervisor to nurture him in his faith. Hewas often full of questions and he began to raise his hand more during devotions and Bible History lessons to answer questions. One day he came up to Miss Flemming and told her that he was very happy to know about Jesus, but one thing made hin1 sad. and that was that his little brother Ricky didn't know about Him. As we drudge through the seemingly endless mire of assignments here on campus, we often lose sight of the reason for which we are here, and sometimes we might wonder if this profession is the one we really want. But if we only would remember the many Rickys there are in this world, those doubts should begin to disappear. Our Savior has entrusted us with the command to go and teach all nations and has promised to bless our work. So next time you find yourself feeling down and out about school and it can happen so easily during these winter months, think about the children like Ricky who need to learn about their Savior and of the joys you will be privileged to experience as you lead little ones to their Savior's waiting arms.

ask for help from a member of the audience to get on stage. but he got things rolling. The candidates and escorts then performed their skit. based on Judy Garland's role in the Wizard of Oz. Their acting ability was the first aspect on which the candidates were judged Ne.xt, NeIlle made her big reappearanceher first since last year's Snow Carnival.

After telling a joke about Prof. Hermanson and embarrassing Dean Zarling by leading the audience in a round of ·Happy Birthday". she paid her respects to Mrs. Siegler.

She then went on to help the Tutor Prince introduce the Junior skit Following the Juniors. the audience and campus family was privileged and honored to have with them - direct from the temples of India - Swami Maharisbl MikrlshJ PaschlshL After thrilling the crowd with his brilliant answers to unknown questions ( a feat he no doubt taught Karnak the Magnificent of "Tonight Show" fame). the Honorable Maharishi then introduced the Fresh• man skit.

Next came the second area of judging for the candidates- the SERIOUS QUESTIONS! Each was asked a general question ( all asked the same) and a question drawn from a hat. Then, on the spot, they had to answer as well as they could. Tutor Pasch himself read the questions.

The Senior skit followed. Then Vladlmler Nlcholal Paasha made an appearance.

Performing first a famous Russian dance. he introduced the Sophomore skit.

The final event of the night was the PROFESSOR SITUATIONS!! Each candidate chose a piece of pap. ·r from a hat held by ( once again) Tutor P~ch. They then read a hypothetkal situation in which they were confronted by a member of the faculty. TI1at faculty member then went up on stage. and the contestant had to work her way out of the bind The teachers participating this year were Prol Hermanaon ( Laura), Miss Leopold (Peggy), Prof. Gorsline (Julie), Prof. Boehlke (Bridget), Prof. lsch(Polly), Prol Koestler (Beth). and Pres. Huebner (Monica).

Now the competition was over. Finished Complete. Nobody could do anything more.

The votes were in. The queen would be chosen partly by the audience. Their total vote would count 50% of her score. The 'remaining 50'.\, would be left to the judges' decisions. Three professors and their wives plus one male and one female from each class - picked al random - served as judges. They were Prof. and Mrs. Dallmann, Prof. and Mn.. Jacobsen, Prof. and Mrs. Yotter, Freshmen Cindy Rosin and Marie Klpf, Sophomores Sue Pantazon and Tim Pieper, Juniors Gloria Dahlke and Wayne Foelske, and Seniors Unda Klpfmller and Randy Ritter. They judged each candidate m the three previously mentioned areas plus on poise and appearance. They also judged class skits and snow sculptures. Their votes were in. Who would be Snow Carnival Queen 1982? Only time would tell Friday night Entertainment and Queen's Coronation. The candidates and their escorts were again presented to the audience but then sat down for a night of excellent entertainment MC's for the evening were Karen Janke, Chairperson of the Snow Carnival Committee. and Paul Thlesfeldt, king of Snow Carnival 1981. The entertainment ranged from singing to dancing to instrumentals and was all very enjoyable. A tape was also played with a ( continued on page 7) •

MESSENGER WEATHER REPORT

by Minam Zimmermann Editor-in-Chief When was the last time you stepped outside into a world of bitter wind, blinding snow, four foot drifts. and subzero temperatures only to exclaim," My goodness, what a beautiful day"?

No, I am not attempting to be a literary artist by practicing irony or sarcasm with the above question. Rather. allo~ me to foster a greater appreciation for winter and its element in those of you who still have some appreciation for the season and to develop some in those of you who don c. Actually, it's really not complicated. Winter should be viewed with a more optimistic attitude.

Certainly winter has its- well fll call them - disadvantages. Personally, I'd like to refer to them as something less derogatory, but in all fairness I'll stick to disadvantages. Cars do get stuck, shoveling sidewalks may cause trouble. the bitter cold may be harmful, establishments and entire towns may be snow bound, extracurricular activities may be cancelled, and repeated trips to classes may be chilly. but there must be something good to say about winter.

The excitement of the first snowfall often brings happy thoughts. Then one hears, "Ooh, is it pretty!" However, not long after the first snowfall many forget its beauty and begin to grumble.

Well, here comes some optimism. A good heavy layer of snow cleans up the world. Certainly the world needs a little cleaning. The bright whiteness adds a glistening effect that sparkles and shines from every object on the earth. The trees and shrubs are adorned with crystals that add a gleaming dimension to their structure. It's just plain beautiful. The wind may feel cold. but take a breath and dean out your lungs. The air is fresh and invigorating. It stimulates the body as it awakens it with an energetic boost If you get cold easily. then put on another layer of clothes. It's easier to put on another layer to keep warm as compared to the summer when you are hot and can only take off so much. The season gets to be too long when you do not know how to enjoy it, so dress warn1. Think of the children who delight in making snowmen and forts, and who participate in winter by sledding and ice skating. They have fun wllile their cheeks become rosy. More adults ought to see what a child sees when his eyes light up at the sight of a huge snowdrift.

Winter is a season created by God and should be appreciated as such. Sure there mav be dangers and disadvantages, but there is with everything. So the next lime you step outside into a world of whiteness. muster the courage to exclaim, "My goodness. what a beautiful day!"

BOOK REVIEW ANSWER AS A MAN

by

TAYLOR CALDWELL

by Maqean Burbach Staff Wnter Taylor Caldwell has been called America·s most beloved storyteller. and with good reason. At the age of 82, she has 35 bestsellers behind her, the latest of which is

Answer As A Man. As far as style goes. there's nothing unusual about this book: it has a plot. theme, and a happy ending. There is no deep symbolism. no complex time lapses. This book was written for lhe person who likes to sit down with a book and be entertained Although it seems that Caldwell used an old formula to write Answer As A Man, there is something captivating about the book. There are some very colorful characters here. They are so real they become comfortable acquaintances. There is a blustery. profane grandfather who has a heart of pure gold; a beautiful. diabolical, lame girl; a hypocritical priest: a mentally unstable wife; and fmally, Jason Garrity, the modern-day Job around whose life the story revolves.

Taylor Caldwell is a romantic writer whose characterizations explore the extremes of good and evil. The author passes out·noble personality traits to Jason Garrity

like they were candy He is tough. strong, uncompromising. gentle. honest, loyal loving and modest. and everything else desirable that no one person could humanly be.

The author also uses her characters as unsuspecting mediums for voicing some heavy political dissertations which broach such diverse and rambling topics as compulsory education, taxation, and women's rights.

The surprising thing about this novel is that it manages to come together remarkably well. Caldwell has incredible empathy for mankind. and touches poignantly upon things common to everyone's lives. The characters' lives. events, and Caldwell's political viewpoints are intricately entwined. and the plot moves smoothly and quickly.

The title of the book is a reference to Job 38:21(. Both Job and Jason questioned God's integrity and both found that sorrow and pain are not God's creation, but man's.

Taylor Caldwell is a professed Christian who makes some interesting Scriptural applications to modem living in her books. If you've never read any of them, Answer As A Man is a good place to start.

PROF. PROFILE

by Dawn Rosenau l\'ews Editor

There is a tall and lean professor who spends many hours working with the computers. He also leads students through many science classes and math courses.

'This professor is John Paulsen. I know he is adm1rt!d by many students here at DMLC, and. therefore. we would like to know more about hirn. He graciously agreed to give us a profile.

MEET PROFESSOR PAULSEN

Professor Paulsen was brought up on a farm in Worthington, Minnesota He was never acquainted with \VELS until he was 26 years old He originally belonged to the ALC. He attended St Cloud State University and majored in math and physical science. He then taught at Hibbing at a junior high school. He remarked that it was a tremendous challenge. The school consisted of more than 50 nationalities. He also said that discipline was hard to maintain. Aiter Hibbing, he went to teach at a junior high in Wilmar Here he attended a mission church which was WELS. where he first became acquainted with our synod TI1e pastor at this congregation submilled his name to a call list. and eventually DMLC called Professor Paulsen. He came to DMLC m 1971 to teach in the math department.

Professor Paulsen later came to be more involved in the science department after science was added as an area of concentration around 1974. He just loves working here at DMLC. He feels the students are so motivated and they know the goals they are striving for in this school.

Professor Paulsen IS extremely interested in the computers. He feels they are a real

asset to a teacher. He wanted to emphasize that the computer will never replace the teacher. Rather, a teacher should look at the computer as a robot aide. It will give the teacher time to help all the students more individually Right now fifteen grade schools in our synod have computers, and he feels it will increase every year in the schools.

I wanted to know if girls really get involved in collecting rocks and other scientific things. Professor Paulsen quickly responded that the women in his class are some of the best students. He also mentioned that some women went on a field trip to South Dakota on their OY.rn to gather rocks. Professor Paulsen loves working in the science and math departments. He feels the cooperation between students is excellent. He believes that they really help each other out.

Professor Paulsen spends a lot of his free time working with the computers. He often presents the computer at PTO meetings.

Also out of the 360 students trained on the computers, he has trained over half of them.

He also enjoys woodworking, gardening, and working on his house. Professor Paulsen remarked that he spends a lot of time shoveling out the driveway and getting his car started, but so do a lot of other people during this blustery winter. Thank you.

Professor Paulsen. for a very enjoyable profile.

KEYBOARD ARTISTS VISIT DMLC M. Alfred Bichsel on the subject of music

Dr. David C. Craighead performs on the organ before faculty and students of DMLC.

by Jeri Mohr Staff Writer Recently our campus was honored by the presence of three very prestigious men. This occurred on January 13 and 14 anti if you haven¡t fi!-,'llred it out, rm talking about the Music Symposium. Turned off already? You shouldn't be! It was a great opportunity for students and faculty alike to learn. enjoy and understand organ music. II you were among the many who passed up the chance to participate, perhaps you would be interested to hear what members of our music division say about the music symposium.

As you know, the proceedings began on Tuesday evening with an organ recital by Dr. David Craighead, Co-Chairman of the music division of nlE Eastman School of Music! Toe agility and mastery he displayed on our Chapel organ were truly impressive.

But many of the music professors expressed their dismay at the text of his la.,;t piece.

Various lectures were offered, but the most commented lectures were those of Dr.

of earlier eras. Professor Wagner said.

"After hearing Dr. Bichsel's lecture, I have a greater appreciation of psalms used in our church music" Professor Schenk believes he can draw some key points for his perception classes.

The master classes were probably the highlight of the symposium for those students and professors who performed for and were critiqued by Dr. Craighead. It was quite a thnll to have a private lesson with one of the best instructors in the nation. Dr. Craighead's ability to teach was inspiring to many organ instructors, who are applying what they learned to their own organ students.

By far the most outstanding part of the symposium was the closing recital by Dr. Karl E. Moyer, on Thursday evenin~. His music was full of feeling and his playing was magnificent Every piece was played by memory and his excellent use of the hand couplers lent color and animation to his

music. This man was truly blessed with a great talent from God. and his good stewardship of this talent was proven in that 'inspirational" performance. Professor Bartel puts it simple, " His music captured the audience." It was a successful conclusion to a successful symposium. Now. aren't you sorry you missed it?

ABE- SIMPLY

MAJESTIC

Dr. Karl E. Moyer demonstrates his keyboard ability.

One of the things that has surprised scholars about Abraham Lincoln is that a man of the people, without the education of the schools. should have been able to write English that IS marvelous m its clarity and simplicity, in its dignity and majesty. The Gettysburg Address, a ten-sentence presentation. and lhe Second Inaugural straightway passed into the list of classics in our language.

One explanation is the source from which Lincoln learned his speech. As a boy and man, he possessed and read the Bible until the spirit or its simple dignity passed into his own words, and its phrases were fixed jn his memory for effective use when he was an adult

We, from the DMLC Messenger, have collected resolutions written by various second, third, and sixth graders from St. Paul's Lutheran School. Many of lhem. as you will see, apply to the lives of many typical DMLC students from procrastinator to 'buff. Sit back and enjoy your resolutions!

George Washington enjoyed the unusual situation of having his birthday celebrated publicly while he was still alive. This first took place in Newport, RI.• in I781, when he was commander of the Continental Anny 18 years before his death and eight years before he became President.

Washington actually was born on February 11, 1732; the adoption of the Gregorian Calendar moved the date to the traditional February 22. And Public Law 90363 marks the holiday of his birthday on the third Monday in February, this year February 22.

CHILDREN'S THEATER THINKS SPRING

by Carol Wuerch Guest Wnter Snow, snow, snow! Is that all you see?

Well think spring; because that is what Children's Theater is doing. Spring is the time of year when around 2000 kids come to see our annual play. This year the play is The Elves and the Shoemaker. Starting already January 25, director Boonie Schlenker and co-director Tim McNeUI had the cast busy at work. Producer Shelia Hughes and co-producer Mary Knutson are also busy working with set chairman Mike Mundstock and costume chairman Deb Schultz to get ready for the April 22 & 23 performances. When you see the posters, think of coordinator Beth Lauersdorf and co-coordinator Karen Eickhoff who will also be writing to the schools to get those happy faces on the DMLC campus. ~aking those faces happy will be 13 talented people who double as DMLC stu-

dents. Dawn Krenke is Widget, an elf who is trying to help the shoemaker's wife, Lois Abel, and daughter, Terri Krueger, repay a loan from Heck.la. Ann Demslen. Widget receives help from fellow elves Gremlo, Beth Raabe, and Finelta. Jodi Stechmann.

Judy Dellkat is Dame Margery, a rich old woman who wants to buy many shoes. The village girls who help make things interesting are Ursula Dawn Rosenau; Joan. Terri Zahn; Rhoda Deb Ulhom; Meg, Ellyn Wilkens; Tabitha, Donna Kaye. Will the shoemaker, Brent Schmidt, have a shop to return to? Will Mike get the sets done? As Professor Schubkegel ( our fearless advisor) said, "We've got a good group of kids here." Come to the campus family performance Friday, April 23, to see the work these people have done.

And when you think spring - think of The Elves and the Shoemakerl

COMMUNICATION IN THE THEATRE hy Cindy Lehman Staff Writer

"An Intimate sharing of literature sharing between an audience and the readers."

With an abundance of talent, a small troop compiled the January thirty-first's performance for this year's Reader's Theatre. "Communication Links" was the chosen theme. Having a wide variety of poems, prose, acting, singing. and even a dance routine. a deeper insight was given to the effects of communication.

"Communication Links" was divided into eight sections. The 2<i letter alphabet was discovered to be an extraordinary tool for creating moods in " Communkation of Written Language." Affecting all of our lives, " Communication for Media" looked at the many predicaments we face with media.

Being a tremendous sut¡cess, "F~xaggerated Communication" aroused the audience to perceive the immense stupidity of attention seekers. "Word Abuse" exhibited a pretentious ostentation of circumlocutory homo sapiens. Since talking on the phone is a favorite pastime of many, "Communication by Telephone" rang a bell. As we saw in "Communication with Family," a special type of exchange occurs from the young to the old. Through the eyes of children. "Communication with God" held a touching insight to the simplicity of HL,; love and understanding. Of course, 'Non-verbal Communication" plays an important role in all our lives. since the senses are brought alive to observe.

The cast consisted of Deb Llghtfuss, Karie Watchke, Sue Benzel, Pam Eisinger, and Julie Wlllltz. These girls

MYSTERY PICTURE The winners of the last Mystery Picture were James Neujahr, Sarah Schlmmlng, TU Straseske, Matt Bootz, and Kevin Loersch. The picture was a side view of a radiator. This month the Messenger has another picture for all of its readers. The clue is that this picture is of something that is owned by alL Many people use it rather frequently and those who don't, should. Certificates redeemable in the Round Table will be sent by mail to the first five winners. Answers must be submitted by mail to Box 486.

along with their c~directors Sharon Saar and Becky Biedenbender, sought out material to fit the communication idea After finding the different pieces of literature. the script was organized into the human story of communication. The cast then began to practice lacing themselves in the many characters they would play.

Readers Theatre is proving to be more than a play or a slory hour. It is a presentation of a theme, read and acted oul, to benefit both the readers and the audience.

E.xperience m speech, reading, and e.,cpressing oneself are some benefits of the reader. The audience receives a mental picture of man in humorous and touching situations. Both the reader and the audience share an entertaining and relaxing time together in worlds of fantasy and in real life.

SALE

PLAYED ON hy Wesley Steinberg Staff Writer Greetings!

The word recital conjures various images in the minds of every individual at DMLC. Some are romantic visions filled with stereophonic sound: othE:rs are of a more unresponsive nature. Webster defines recital as "a concert given by an individual musician or dancer or by a dance group."

Our own Professor Wayne Wagner consented to dazzle us with his organ expertise.

But before going into a lengthy explication of his performance Friday, rd first like to tell you a little something about Professor Wagner himself.

Professor Wagner started out as a child

( rm sure you're all relieved to hear that!) He first became interested in music in grade school but it wasn't until his high school years that he became fascinated with the organ. He took his first reaJ organ lessons at Wisconsin Lutheran College. When he finally got to DMLC he concentrated in, of course. math. ( I guess he held to Aristotle¡ s theory of music being in the objective reaJm.) Anyway, his first call came in the area of music - and he has been at it ever since.

I asked Professor Wagner his reason for putting on organ recitals. He told me they are designed to generale incentive in organ (and piano) students. Making beautiful music is an art and has to be worked at continually. That means a lot of practice and

dedication to one's goals. Furthermore, organ recitals give students the chance to appreciate different kinds of music. Since many of our students will go on to play for church services in their respective congregations, it would be helpful to be aware of a wide range of possible organ selections. This also gives a congregation the opportunity to hear and enjoy various organ pieces.

Professor Wagner's first organ recital of 1982 has proven to be a success. Two of the five pieces on the program were Bach Preludes. Bach really knew how to write music, and Professor Wagner really knows how to play it It was an excellent performance. Professor Wagner. Thanks!

For all you Classical music fans. th bookstore is running a sale on Classical record albums. The sale will run through February 19, 1982. So check out the bookstore and don't miss this bargain!

A GIANCE AT SPORTS THE WILD(E) WORLD OF SPORTS

IANCERS HIT HARD TIMES

by Paul Wilde Sports Ed/tor The 1981-¡s2 season has not been very kind to the Lancer basketball team so far.

Nearly everything imaginable has gone wrong, ranging from the loss of key players to nagging injuries, and even to the weather. which has clamped its sinister icy grip upon the Lancer's fortunes this year. Their record currently stands at 1-5.

DMLC's schedule saw the Lancer quintet kick off ( or maybe"dribble off' would be the better expression in basketball) its 1981-'82 interscholastic schedule by hosting the Lancer Classic. A large. enthusiastic crowd piled into the Lancer gym to watch the Lancers battle sister school NorthwesternWatertown in the nightcap game. Memories of the recent victory over the Trojans on the gridiron danced in the heads of Lancer rans. who were eager to see the Lancers follow up their landmark gridiron triumph with another win over their rivals. Meanwhile. the Trojan cagers set out to even up the score.

The result was an intense. hard-fought contest, and the outcome was in doubt until time had nearly expired. The Trojans gallopeed away 62-57 winners. thanks in part to their clutch free throw shooting down the stretch run. Tim Torgerson paced the Lancer offense with 14 points.

The following night DMLC was ambushed by the Chiefs of North Central Bible College, 78-63. The Lancers fell far behind at the outset of the game, and the early margin proved insurmountable. The maroon and gray looked drained from the previous night's tussle as the Chiefs jumped off lo the early lead. Todd Boelter netted 14 points to lead the Lancers.

The Lancers then traveled to Rochester to play Minnesota Bible. and won their first game of the young season. 63-54. Todd Boelter paved the way for the Lancers with 14 points and 12 rebounds, while John Robinson and Jim Unke each chipped in 10 points.

The Lancer¡ s final game of 1981 was a 6862 setback at the hands of the PilJsbury Comets. The game's outcome was determined at the charity stripe. for Pillsbury canned 18 free throws to 8 ror the Lancers.

Jim Unke's 13 points paced the Lancer offense. Paul Thiesfeldt pulled down 18 big rebounds to lead DMLC to a 47-37 edge under the boards.

The new year did not start off with an overabundance of good news. Three integral front line players - Jim Linke. Todd Boelter. and John Robinson - could not return, so the Lancer front line became bone thin. On the plus side, sorely-needed senior Craig Morgan returned to action.

Two sophomores, Kurk Kramer and Don Kolander, also joined the team and helped keep N basketball alive this year.

The first game of the new year was an 8861 drubbing at the hands of Oordt. Dordt displayed excellent marksmanship, hitting ~-5't of their shots. while the Lancers could muster only 33.3'~,. Thiesfeldt scored 16

points and positioned himself for 9 caroms. and Scott Bleichwell contributed IO rebounds.

Three of the next four contests on the Lancer schedule were snowed out. In the only game played, Concordia-St. Paul routed the Lancers, 61-39, behind 57% shooting. Torgerson burned the cords for I 0 points while Thiesleldt added 9 for DMLC. The Lancers will need to improve their field goal and free throw shooting in the 2nd half of the season. Both were subpar during the 1st half of the season, and are even more crucial now because or the rebounding losses suffered after the semester break.

Despite these losses, the team is still spirited and working hard every day at practice, and remains optimistic ror the 2nd half of the season.

Liz Peterman displays an unusual expression as she shoots the ball for the bucket

LANCERETTES BATTLING FOR WINNING RECORD

by Paul Wilde Sports Editor The DMLC Lancerette basketball team. like their male counterparts, have had their share of tough luck. First of all, they lost Lori Thompson alter the semester break. Then came two heartbreaking losses. But the Lancerettes appear to be coming back strong. Coach Leopold feels that the team is pulling together as a result or these breaks. They won their last encounter to up their slate to 3-4 ( 1-1 in conference action). are playing better as a team, and appear to have more confidence in themselves.

The Lancerettes opened the season in fine style by ripping Bethel, 77-65. Lori Thompson contributed 18 points and 8 rebounds to the Lancer cause, while Lisa Quam took scoring honors with 20 points.

The Lancerettes weren't as successful in their next outing. They traveled to Sl Thomas and came out on the short end of the 78-63 final. St Thomas was ahead by only 3, 35-32, at halftime, but pulled away from the Lancerettes in the second half.

Thompson again led the Lancers with 17 points and 9 rebounds, while Barb Mueller and Quam chipped in 14 and 13 points,

respectively.

The Lancerettes went home for Christmas with a 2-1 record by virtue of an 85-78 overtime triumph at Northwestern-Roseville. The score was 74-74 at the end of regulation. Mueller scorched the nets for 30 points. and Quam added 14 markers. Liz Petennann pocketed 13 rebounds.

After Christmas, St. Olar invaded the DMLC gym and squeaked out a 67-64 win.

The score was deadlocked at 61 all with two minutes left, but St. Olaf pulled it out. Lisa Quam topped the Lancerettes with 23 points and 14 boards, while Petermann garnered 13 rebounds.

The Lancerettes then lost two more games in a row. First of all, Augsburg nipped the Lancerettes;-61-60. The difference in the game could possibly have been Augsburg's dominance in rebounding, for they outrebounded DMLC 46-31. Quam again took scoring honors. notching 24 points. Kris Clausnllzer pulled down 9 caroms. Five days later, Concordia-St Paul trimmed DMLC, 86-75. The Lancerettes rushed to a 36-32 halftime lead but Concordia seared the nets with near flawless (64'Y.,) shooting on the way to 54 points in the second half.

Five Lancerettes scored in double figures Quam (19), Mue ller ( 17), Clausnitzer (13). Dania Habeck and Petennann (12 each), and three more - Quam ( 17), Clausnitzer (1 I), and Petermann ( 10) reached double figures rebounding.

The Lancerettes conquered St. Mary's 7869 in their last game to date. The game was decided at the rree throw line. for DMLC meshed 16 rree throws to only 4 for SL Mary's, Quam rippled the nets for 34 points (including 8-9 at the charity stripe), and Habeck netted 20 more. Clausnitzer dominated the backboards with 19 rebounds, and Petermann rejected 6 shots.

The 1..ancerette's defense has improved, and they have been husUing more lately.

Coach Leopold is hoping that this trend will continue, and is also hoping that her squad will communicate better on offense. Hopefully they will continue to develop the promise shown lately.

VALENTINE GUSH DUE FEB. 14

FEBRUARY EVENTS

Far back in the days of ancient Rome, young people drew names from a bowl to learn who their beloved of the year would be. This drawing was always held in February and is believed to be the true origin of St. Valentine's Day. In the legend of St. Valentine, Valentinus was imprisoned in Rome for assisting Christian martyrs. While awaiting execution, he became friends with the blind daughter of his jailer whose sight he was able to restore.

On the eve of hi.c; death he wrote her a farewell note and signed it "From Your Valentine." This was the origin of an expression which has been used millions of times over the centuries.

The widespread use of Valentines began sometime during the 18th century. These were all made entirely by hand and delivered to the lady's doorstep.

Through the years their popularity has increased enormously and Valentines have progressed to the expressive sentiments and beautiful cards of today.

A discussion occurs which is a progressive explanation of our sinful status in the world to what God expects Crom us and to how Jesus took our place before God's judgment. Many faiths were encountered such as the Je\\i.sh faith, charismatics. Baptists, and simply the. unchurched. These churches were mostly located in a retired community where people tended to retire from life and God This task of canvass/witnessing may seem easy. but it's very hard to talk to a complete stranger when one's knees are knocking and teeth are chattering. But the Lord blessed all of our work and each group covered approximately 1500 homes and a few new faces were seen in church.

Even though all the canvassers worked hard. some free time was allowed from trying to re.id crazy street maps and from ringing door bells. The scenery was absorbed especially by two canvassers as they got lost jog__l(in~. Another group rode a glass bottom boat, while another experienced sliding down a waterfall. Swimming was such an e.xperience for another group that they jumped in the water. clothes and all.

The trip back was depressing because the week went by so fast Friendships were formed and new experiences had ended But even though the canvassers spent so little time there. God will bless this time and help the churches to grow. As one canvasser said: " It's a fantastic experience and everybody should try it!"

CHORAL VESPERS

by Naomi Happ Slaff Writer

On the evening of February 17th. friends of DMLC joined the campus family to celebrate the annual Lenten Vespers.."Worthy is the Lamb" was the theme of this special worship service. The six Sundays in Lent.

Maundy Thursday, and Good Friday were represented by a symbolic picture to give the worshippers a better understanding of this sacred season. Speakers from the senior class, including Dean Johnson. Kurt Mueller, Jim Rademan, Jim Schneck, Paul Thiesfeldt, Dale Uhlenbrauck. Kevin Yahn, and John ' Ziesemer eac~ revealed one of the eight symbols and told the story of its importance.

The message was also presented in song by members of the four college choirs, both separately and antiphonally with the congregation. Several other groups helped to beautify the service with instrumental music. Giving glory to the Savior in these various ways prepared many hearts for remembering His Passion in the weeks

ahead

LENTEN REFLECTION

by Miriam Zimmermann Editor-in-Chief Sometimes the season of Lent seems remote. It's easy to regularly attend a Wednesday service and never really get the full impact of the sermon. So now I invite you to take a moment of reflection in a quiet and personal way. Consider, for a moment. this Bible passage I heard one Lenten evening. "A young man, wearing nothing but a linen garment, was following Jesus.

When they seized him, he fled naked, leaving his garment behind" ( Mark 14:51-52). The pastor solemnly ignored. for the time being, the fact that this young man may have been Mark and suddenly made this scene in the garden of Gethsemane become uniquely personal. Imagine the man in the passage being identified with your name. Imagine you being the one who fled when Jes..is was seized Just think about this for a moment. Let the year of this event be brought to date. Let the minute of this event be seen in our lives today - now.

Each day don't we face this situation? Each day we have the opportunity to stand up for our Lord only to flee as a coward by action or passive neglect. Our black sins drive us to the revelation that it is us who betray our Lord everyday. We are personally involved when we run away and leave our ever loving Savior to face the enemy. Christ suffered the torment of hell because you and I live in sin daily. Our evil desires, ambitions. and lusts crucified Christ. Yes. this is a very personal matter. We are the sinners at fault. It is not just that naked young man that W<!S involved. but you and I. Ought we not feel ashamed with bitter tears of repentance?

But o.,;r quiet moment of reflection. though it may be a distressed moment, is not over.

Remember the man who did not run away. Remember Jesus who allowed Himself to be seized and ultimately crucified. Though we were at fault. through faith given by the Holy Spirit. we know that Jesus stayed there for us. In the weakness of sin we fled. but in love the Savior stayed. Christ stayed and was crucified in order that our bitter tears might cease. Now, as Lent continues and Easter arrives, we can shed teals of sheer happiness because Jesus did not flee.

In love, He paid the price which sets us free forever. Now a reflection on Lent and Easter can have real meaning.

LOVE IS

•

by Wesley Steinberg Staff ~friter What is love? Many people of many times have asked that age-old question. Every person who has ever fell lonely or afraid, every person who has ever grieved over the death of a loved one, every person who has ever felt the anguish of living in a loveless world has asked that question of himself at one time or another in his life. What is love?

What does it mean?

Throughout Holy Scripture, God has revealed His undying love for His children countless times. In the great exodus. God showed His powerful love by delivering His people from Egypt's bondage to freedom in a land flowing with milk and honey. In Babylon. God revealed His saving love by miraculously delivering His servants Shadrach. Meshach. and Abednego from the fiery furnace, and again in rescuing Daniel from the den of lions. Finally, at Calvary. God displayed His absolute love for His children by giving up His Son to death on the cross.

Our Lord Jesus Christ became the atonement for sin.

Love, then. is the giving up of oneself to another in a way that is pleasing to God. That is not to say that we can or should die for our neighbors in order to love them, though it is possible. That would serve no one. Christ has already done that for us. Rather, it is now, through faith in Him, that we are able to love by living in His love, giving ourselves into His service.

But how do we give ourselves? Jesus once told his followers, "Deny yourselves, take up your cross and follow me." That's what we are to do today. We are to deny ourselves to earthly wants and temptations and bear our burdens willingly, as Jesus did so many years ago, following in His footsteps. As long as Jesus is before us, we will be able (by His grace) to endure our hardships as they

•

• come and re101ce in our many blessings.

Look around you. God has given us everything through his Son, Jesus Christ What shall we give in response? As God has given, so should we. with joy in our hearts and God's praises on our lips.

What happens. then. when we give? Does something special take place? Indeed it does! When we give of our money. our time. and our talents into our Lord's service, when we help a person to know Jesus. when we care for the sick and the aged when we live a life pleasing to God. we are giving something very special - we are giving ourselves! We are truly loving one another as Christ first loved us. And that, my friends, is what love is

BOOK REVIEW LOVE-BY SUSAN

FROMBERG SCHAEFFE

by Marjean Burbach Staff Writer Love is a novel that explores the strengths and weaknesses of love in human relationships: between men and women, parents and children, brothers and sisters, and friends. Like the author's first noveL Anya, Love is steeped in Jewish tradition, dealing with the problem of life shaped by circumstance.

The novel centers around Esheal Luria and chronicles his life from boyhood in Russia before the Revolution through his death in America When the book opens, the reader meets Esheal through the author's narrative account. Esheal's father dies, his mother remarries and goes to America. leaving Esheal behind with a mysterious and crazy old woman known as the zenshina because of her mystic wisdom and supposed power Esheal passes from boyhood to manhood isolated from the world except for this kind but eccentric woman. When Esheal comes of age. he goes to America, full of ambition and hope.

From here on the author tells the story in an unusual way: each chapter is written as if told by a different character. The reader

receives an eclectic picture as the story is told by various members of the family Esheal marries into, his wife, children, and grandchildren.

As a youth in America Esheal is awkward and naive, a loveable anti-hero. He becomes a pharmacist, promptly falls in love with the wrong woman. marries her. and is henpecked ever after. As Esheal ages and becomes disillusioned with life, he retreats into the past, remembering thezenshina and his boyhood in Russia.

Love is written with a surprising sharpness of detail and gentle humor in description. An example would be the descriptions of Esheal's appearance as a young man. "His socks should have a party and invite his pants down."

Love is a moving but unsentimental exploration of family relationships. It deals with disappointment without being bitter, and it is humorous without being comical The warmth and affection the author feels for these characters make the book easy and satisfying to read, while Love's ethnicity and theme of love transcending time make it folkloric and enchanting.

PROF.(?) PROFILE

MEET MRS. SCHU·BKEGEL

by Dawn Rosenau News Editor This slender woman leads a massive size treble choir. The size of it does not phase her in the least as she magnificiently controls their voices. at least most of the time At times I am sure she is ready to put a piece of tape over the mouth of some of her more talkative singers, but as of yet she just patiently deals with them. This woman is Mrs. Joyce Schubkegel We need a profile on this outstanding woman.

Mrs. Schubkegel attended Concordia Junior College in fort Wayne, Indiana She then attended the Concordia Teacher College, from which she graduated She then taught in an elementary school in Wheaton, Illinois. She taught the kindergarten and the third grade. Mrs. Schubkegel then went back to Concordia to teach two years. At the same time she was attending Northwestern University to attain her Masters Degree She received her Masters and \\<ithin three weeks she got her !\1rs. degree. She married Professor Francis Schubkegel, who is a teacher in our music department, too.

Mrs. Schubkegel then served as Director of Music at Good Shepherd in Palos Heights. lllinois. After that she taught organ at Wisconsin Lutheran Teachers College for four years. In 1970 she moved to New Ulm,

and began teaching part-t1IT1e at Doctor Martin Luther College in the music department A few years later she began teaching full-time. She did teach some class piano, but now her duties include organ instruction and choir. She began directing her treble choir five years ago.

Mrs. Schubkegel feels that teaching in the elementary school was an excellent e.xperience She believes it helps her relate to the students and prepare them for their future dealings with their students. She also is happy to be teaching at the college level. She likes the idea of specializing, and you can just sense her love for music. She also quickly mentions that both levels of teaching certainly have their rewards.

I asked her what was the hardest thing to deal with being a teacher and a mother. She replied with a smile on her attractive face: "Getting dinner on the table!"

Mrs. Schubkegel has four children. Their ages are 9, 13, 16. and 18. Her daughter, Cathy, is a freshman here at DMLC. Mrs. Schubkegel says that it is a pleasant experience having her daughter here at school She then answered seriously that the hardest thing about being a mother and a teacher is balancing the home life and the school, and doing justice to both. Choir has become more demanding, and her time is very precious. She also mentions that her

husband has helped her immensely. He would always babysit the children in his free time, giving her a chance to teach. She believes this has given the children a chance to get closer to their father, which she feels is a very important benefit of her working.

Mrs. Schubkegel likes to keep busy. She wishes she had more time to practice on the organ. but a person only has so much time in a day. She loves her days off. She likes to spend them at home catching up on all of the work around the house. Her husband built their home, and she is very proud of it She also enjoys gardening.

Mrs. SchubkegeJ has had some very memorable experiences here at DMLC. She relates the time her daughter had a piano recital, and on the same Sunday Mrs. Schubkegel had to go to South Dakota with her traveling choir. Her family was very understanding, but she was slightly disappointed. That Sunday morning she walked on the bus. and was presented with a Mothers' Day corsage from her choir girls.

'This brightened up her face and her day, and she realized that these girls were her family, too.

This outstanding woman has some advice to future teachers. She believes students should take advantage of every opportunity while they are at DMLC. You never know what the Lord is going to ask of you in the

future. She especially feels that people should try to get as much keyboard and organ as possible. Music is just abounding up here. and students should realize what rich resources there are at DMLC. She said that If anyone had told her when she was a college student, that she would someday be directing 180 girls, she would not have believed it Mrs. Schubkegel believes that she has the best of both worlds being a mother and a teacher. You can just sense her love of music and teaching when you talk to her May her talents continue helping students play the organ beautifully and singing joyfully. Thank you, Mrs. Schubkegel, for a very special profile.

CHOIR TOUR

by Stephanie Scherzberg Guest Writer Professor Hermanson, Professor Brick, and forty-four hard working students have Just returned from a very exciting trip.

They toured Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois.

Indiana and a number of states along the eastern coast dunng spring break. This tour's purpose was to share the Gospel message with other Christians by singing praL-;es to God. The forty-four members joined in singing twenty-one compositions by memory Th1S does not even include the prelude music for

services nor the instrumental compositions.

In between this wonderful music, Oave Koester. the president or the choir spoke a few words.

On this tour, the choir members and director were able to share in a lot of Christian fellowship. The spreading of the Gospel is an important factor in this tour.

Prof. Hermanson says, "This tour brings joy In sharing the Gospel with other Christians. The warmness of meeting these people builds up your faith." This is also a chance for Mission congregations to receive information on Dr Martin Luther

College. It brings the congregations closer to the source of a Lutheran education. "Public relations between these congregations has great advantages. We are able to share in the purpose of DMLC. We also are able to recruit and interest new students in Dr. Martin Luther College," Prof. Herrpanson replied The trip also included some sightseeing.

They visited the Pro Football Hall of Fame, West Point. the Capitol. and other Historical spots. For others, it was a chance to visit with family and friends.

The eastern tour during mid-term break

was the choir's biggest challenge for this year. But the choir also has a number of concerts yet to perform The choirs home concert is March 14th. Also, for three weekends the choir will tour in the areas of Wisconsin and Minnesota. All members of the College Choir will be able to participate on the three weekends.

All the members of the Traveling choir are proud to have participated in this tour. By showing their love for music. they have been able to join others in a common bond of Christianity by music.

TENNSTEDT CONDUCTS BEETHOVEN'S NINTH

by Gary Sonnenberg Guest Writer "The Sistine Chapel, Hamlet, Don such Giovanni. Beethoven's Ninth masterpieces stand apart from everything else and cannot be imitated" Such 1s Mary Ann Feldman's claim as to the significance of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony. Those students, faculty, and friends of Dr. Martin Luther College who attended a performance of this landmark work at Orchestra Hall on · February 6 would likely defend that claim.

Conducted by Klaus Tennstedt, this symphony was presented as part of the Minnesota Orchestra's Midwinter Beethoven Festival Beethoven's ~inth is certainly a glorious musical experience even for the casual listener - if one can be casual when listening to this work. It is an even w-eater experience to be in attendance at a live

performance. And if anything can increase the quality and value of this experience, perhaps Klaus Tennstedt has what is needed Tennstedt is himself a wonder to behold He both reacts to and leads an orchestra as it in tum reacts to and pulls him onward through the music.

Newsweek ( Feb. 1, 1982) classifies Tennstedt as a " high-voltage maestro" and quotes him saymg to the· orche.-;tra in rehearsal. "The most difficult thing in this work [Beethoven's Third Symphony] is the insight, the feeling, yes? It's not easy, I know. Tomorrow we have that'' The 100-plus member Minnesota Orchestra receives Tennstedt, their principal guest conductor, with warmth and affection. It was evident that the University of Minnesota Symphonic Chorus does also. The applause

(and stamping of feet on stage) forced Tennstedt back on stage several times following the Fourth ( Choral) Movement.

A major factor contributing to the significance of this symphony is its final movement which employs a chorus and four soloi:its as well. Soloists for this performance were Esther Hinds, soprano; Janis Hardy, mezzosoprano; Dennis Bailey, tenor; and Samuel Ramey, bass. The vocal portion of the Fourth Movement is an adaption in German of Schiller's "Ode to Joy.' Beginning in the fall of 1983 look for Klaus Tennstedt as the music director of the London Symphonic Orchestra The Music Division of DMLC will continue to provide opportunities to hear music such as this as often as it is feasible. Plans are to take on at least one project of this type each academic semester.

MISSION FAIR 1982

by Jeri Mohr

Guest Writer Recently, as winter storms swept through southern Minnesota, the local schools, votechs, and even colleges experienced delays and cancellations. All except Dr. Mai tin Luther College. which inspite of the inclement weather held classes without interruption! Just as I was beginning to feel cheated of a day's respite from the same old routine, the news of this year's Mission Fair came to my attention. Two years ago or even last year, this news would not have thrilled me. but this year it meant I would get out of a whole day of classes.

Mission Fair was on February 11 and its theme was "World Missions." Since I had never attended Mission Fair in the previous years, I didn't know what to expect. My worst fez.!."s were that it would be a lecturetype "discussion" high-lighting monetary outputs and asking for monetary input from me. The thought of a whole day of that made me want to go back to classes. But I found

out I was mistaken about Mission Fair. It turned out to be a day of entertainment and learning, and my attitude about missions was vastly revised Let me tell you about our Mission Fair this year, and maybe you'll see why.

The first indication or the day·s events was a presentation by Rev. T. A. Sauer, Executive Secretary of the Board for World Missions. His was a slide presentation and National Geographic couldn't have taken better pictures! Rev. Sauer's delightfully interesting discourse made our African Mission come alive. The lush vegetation, the gorgeous sunrises, the stark beauty of the bush gave background to the real center of our missions there. the African people. This was followed by Prot Ernst Wendland's discussion of witchcraft in Africa The very topic heading provoked interest, and his outline of the religious beliefs in Africa answered my superficial questions, but inspired many new ones. All of us in the audience had the opportunity to ask our

AN EXTENSION

questions during the short question and answer session before Chapel.

After Chapel and a short coffee break in the wrestling room, we assembled once again for the second half of the morning's presentation. Prof. Wendland led off with his slide presentation of Our African Worker Training Program. which has the blessed chance of training native men to become pastors and evangelists. The dedication and dogged determination of these men was inspiring. They have to master the English language, travel many miles in all weather, and fight the influences of the superstituous beliefs, and yet they come 100% or the time.

Most of the work mentioned above takes place in Zambia, but Rev. Sauer informed us of our Nigerian Worker Training Program.

Only recently, August 1981, our Wisconsin Synod declared fellowship with Christ the King Lutheran Synod in Nigeria The program to teach native workers there is much the same as in Zambia The Christians over in Africa show much animation and enthusi-

The Indians also had the first disposable diapers. They used the outer bark of the cedar tree. After they were dirty, they were simply burnt The Apaches used nature wisely, and they tried not to misuse or waste anything.

The Apaches had many superstitious beliefs. ll a child was born crippled, it would be killed. They believed there was no room for those who could not carry their own weight Twins were also unwelcomed by parents. If they were of the same sex, the second child was killed lf a girl and a boy were born, the girl would be killed.

The Apaches always had a religion, but it consisted of worshipping the sun. The sun was the giver of all life to them. The missionaries came in and preached about the

THE DMLC BANDS sonorous, ideal for hearts geared for the advent of spring. It is my opinion that this piece set the mood for the rest of the concert The program was divided between the Symphonic Concert Band and the smaller Wmd Ensemble. Each group had four major works to play and both did a fine job. A lot of hard work went into preparing for this performance, and it really came through.

The William Tell Overture brought the afternoon to an exciting close. Many of us remember the famous finale section of the piece (remember the Lone Ranger?), but few of us have heard some of the other melodies present in the work. One, the

real Giver of Life. God has become a part of many Apaches' lives.

Many changes have taken place on the reservation since the first missionaries came into their lives. There are R-rated movies, drugs, and alcohol which plague their culture, but many of the Apaches are basically fine people. Most of the old superstitions have died ouL There are l O sets of twins now living in Whiteriver. At one time they would not have lived. They have learned the commandment that thou shalt not kill. Most importantly they have received the good news of Christ.

Pastor Guenther concluded that we should remember them in our prayers. It was truly a delightful and meaningful presentation. The Apaches are our brothers in Christ. and we need to be concerned about their welfare. Pastor Guenther certainly educated his audience about our mission work in Apacheland. Pastor Guenther is a wonderful extension of us in Apacheland.

POTENTIAL

IN CONCERT:

by Wesley Steinberg Staff Writer An air of hushed expectancy filled the DMLC Auditorium as the crowd within awaited the start of this year's first band concert. It was a beautiful day, simply perfect for sitting back and relaxing to music. Suddenly, the ensemble stepped up onto the stage, followed almost at once by Professor Hermanson. The applause abruptly rang out The opening selection was a piece by George Frederick Hande~ which was written especially for King George I to celebrate a special aquatic festival held on the River Thames in England. The music was light and

asm over the Word of God something which we take for granted most of the time. These presentations made me realize the blessings we have here. and also put my former attitude about missions to shame. It was a very enlightening morning. Thank you, Rev. Sauer and Prof. Wendland The afternoon was no less interesting and informative. Miss Suzanne Tonder, teacher at St Paul's. New Ulm, was the mission teacher assigned to Tsuchiaura, Japan in 1980. Her slides and discussion told us from her point of view what it was like to teach in Japan. Her enthusiastic recollections and willingness to answer our questions made me realize that a call to Japan wasn't as terrifying as I had believed I bet she allievated some senior's fears. also.

World Missions are a vital part of our synodical work and therefore we should all be aware of our role in the mission work. I hope you may have experienced a change in attitude as did I. And I am looking forward to the Mission Fair next year.

pastorale, I remember hearing on the Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Show during the segment featuring the Coyote vs. the Sheepdog.

Remember that one? Well, the melody you always hear played in the background is none other than the pastorale of the William Tell Overture. (See? You learn something new every day!)

U you didn't get the opportunity to hear the DMLC Bands play, you missed something quite unique. But don't worry. You'll certainly get another chance. Trust me.

Professor Hermanson wouldn't let us down.

KITZEROW RECITAL A SUCCESS

by Judy Deltkat Staff Writer Play a recital! Who would think or doing such a thing?

Lynn Kitzerow, that's who.

It all started last year when her organ teacher asked her ir she was interested in performing some of her music. She consented and started working to polish old pieces and learn new ones.

She chose pre-Bach church music because it is something we, as Christians, can relate to. It is an example of music that is not just for recitals, but for use by church or~anists as well. It aJso provides the foundation ror the music we're so accustomed to hearing in church.

To round out the program ( and the hour) the College Choir sang two pre-Bach numbers. Their singing added a new and interesting dimension to the concept of an organ recital.

Lynn started taking organ lessons last

students: it simply gives those students who

learn more music a chance to perform it.

"It was a good experience," she said,

year as a lreshman. She is now a music concentrate and graduated to organ course two. A recital isn't required of course two

"because it forced me to polish my music" and gave her a chance to do something she had never done before. She said she enjoyed getting ready for the recital and was well prepared "l just don't know what else I could have done," she said Lynn gives the credit to God and to her instructor. Professor Backer. She gives it to God because He gave her the talent and to Professor Backer because he taught her to use it. She's not planning another. but she's not completely ruling out the idea of a second recital, either "It really depends," she said, "on a lot or things."

At any rate, Lynn, it was a job well done, and rm sure all who attended would readily agree.

Everyone's excited about the Big Spring Sal at the Bookstore.

We may also say we disagree with a person or law so long as we do not disobey it We also have freedom to go to any store we want to. We may eat anything we want to as long as it is not poisonous or may cause harm to our body. We may also sell anything that is not harmful.

I think freedom is great. We in the United States can do what we want. but we should do it with respect. We can say and write whal we want without government control.

We also have the freedom to vote and run for an office without the government saying we can't.

We can help make our own laws and we have a fair jury.

We have a right to travel on the road where we want and when we want without anybody stopping us and saying "You can't

WOLF ORGAN

RECITAL

by Cindy Lehman Staff Writer During the course of the new semester, our campus has been privileged to hear some distinguishing masters of the organ, among them, Lola Wolf, who gave a stunning performance on February 7, 1982.

- Becky Spankenburg Freedom to the pioneers or America was no rule from Mother England but today we don't even think of having a queen or a king rule over us because we haven't had the experience.

Usually people don't appreciate freedom until they don't have it. They don't even think wben they jump in the car and go to work, or walk to the bus stop, hop in the bus, and go to school, or go to the church of your choice on Sunday morning.

In many countries they don't have these freedoms. Like in Russia the house you live in is not your own, it's the government's.

Also in Poland. Sunday morning you can't just hop in your car and go to the church you want to go to. You know the doors are locked and there is a soldier at the door that won't let you in.

There are many freedoms in America The freedom to have a choice or people to vote for, the freedom to make your own laws, and to rule the country the way you want it to be run. These are probably the most important kinds or freedoms. Other kinds of freedoms are the freedoms to have a gun in your house, freedom to own your own land, freedom of the press, freedom to do or say what you want, freedom of religion. and another very important freedom is trial by jury, and to work or serve on the jury.

Freedom means a lot to me even though 1 sometimes take it for granted.

FROGS CROAK WHY CAN'T

YOU? The recital opened with the exciting pedal solo of the Praeludium and Fugue in C by Georg Bohm and continued with a selection of dances from an anonymous 16th century tablature, revealing Ms. Wolfs special interest in early keyboard music. The program continued with Max Reger's Introduction and Passacaglia in D Minor, Suite du Premier Ton by Guilain, and the exquisite Postlude pour !'Office de Complies by Jehain Alain. The recital concluded with the Choral Varie sur le' Veni Creator' by Maurice Ourufle, assisted by a schola consisting of David Koester, David Ebert, Wayne Foelsk e, and Jason Muench.

Ms. Wolfs sensitive and vitaJ performance was enjoyed by all. As one student expressed it, "When will she be coming back!"

It's natural for a frog to croak. It's natural for a heyena to laugh. It's natural for a baby to cry. It's natural for a teacher to talk. It's natural for a duck to quack. So what's natural for you? SINGING. OF COURSE!! lf you haven't tried it you ought to. Your big debut is just around the comer.

Actually the best thing about it is that it's really not a big debut. You don't have to be an opera star. a top ten national vocalist, or even an old time singer with years of experience under your belt to be qualified for this coming event. So much for the qualifications - there aren't any except the possession of a voice.

What would you be getting yourself into?

Well to be honest, the worst thing that could plague you would be a mouth wide enough for three fingers (if it's not already).

The other thing that might cause you terrible gloom and despair would be an eighth hour here and there. You probably would rather sit in class for a lecturing fifty minutes.

Why would you want to get involved?

Because it's natural for a frog to use what he was blessed with.

It's natural for a Christian to praise God with his voice.

Watch for details. Choir tryouts are happening now. That's something to croak about

DEAR DAWN

by Dawn Fuerstenau Staff Writer

DEAR DAWN, This matter is not one of grave impor• tance, however, I do wonder why it occurs.

Every Saturday morning I am awakened by the chapel bell that rings at 9:55 ain. There is no chapel on Saturday or even Friday and Sunday, but the bell continues to ring. I don't mind it ringing unless I happen to be sleeping in on the only day of the week that that is possible - Saturday. Why are the bells programmed to ring when there is no purpose? Certainly during the week there is a purpose, but not on Saturday. ls there an easy answer?

Signed, A Saturday Sleeper Dear Sleeper, I'm sure all your fellow students who like to sleep late on Saturday appreciate your question. The reason that the bell rings every day is that it is programmed on a master clock. The bell is set to ring every certain amount of hours. and the only way it won't ring on the weekend is if the clock is shut off. I'm not sure why that isn't done, but I imagine it would just mean extra work and possibly foul up the system. Maybe if you talked to someone in the Business Office you could get more details.

DEAR DAWN, How come the method of paying tuition here at DMLC reminds me of "debtor's prison"? If a student doesn'thave the money to meet a payment, how can adding twenty

dollars to the bill help his financial situation? It's just like putting someone in jail because he can't pay his debts.

Signed, $361.00

+ $20.00 In The Hole

Dear In The Hole, I went to talk to Mr. Stabell, the Business Manager, about your question. He was very helpful in explaining the issue to me.

At no time does DMLC want students to feel they are in a "debtor's prison." In fact, DMLC does everything possible to accommodate those who can't pay the full semester tuition at the beginning of each semester - that's why the installment plan was started With the installment plan, the tuition is divided into smaller payments that must be paid by specific dates throughout the whole year. If these dates aren't met, then a penalty charge is added If a student was late in his credit card payments he would be charged a late fee, and if be was attending a public college and didn't have his tuition paid by a certain date, he would be looking for another school! In comparison, DMLC is very fair and understanding.

This extra fee of twenty dollars is to encourage students to have their tuition paid on time. In many cases, it's not that the student doesn't have the money, but that he wants to keep it in the bank to collect interest on it The Synod already pays for almost half the tuition to attend college here, and then refunds half of that when a student becomes a teacher. When tuition isn't paid on time, and thus forces the school to borrow money or have to do without, it's like a student taking the Synod's own money

and collecting interest on it for himself.

DMLC didn't initiate this program, but it was set up by the Commission for Higher Education. Other Synodical schools follow the same policy. Mr. Stabell said that9/ 10 of the student body is very understanding and pay their bills on time. If a student really has trouble meeting his payments, all he has to do is explain the problem to President Huebner or the financial aids officer and the twenty dollar charge will not be added

DEAR DAWN, Where were our pompon girls when we needed them? At the February 6th basketball game their absence was quite noticeable. Fortunately, we did have some dedicated cheerleaders who were willing to fill in for them. Many of the pompon girls went to see their boyfriends at Northwestern. I can understand their reason for leaving, but they tried out willing to fulfill their obligation to provide entertainment.

Who would they rather perform for, DMLC or NWC? Maybe there needs to be a rule next year that no girl can be on the squad if she has a boyfriend at Northwestern, because evidently the temptation to neglect their responsibility is too great. How would they feel iJ they were really looking forward to doing a routine and the basketball team decided they didn't want to play their game?

Who are they performing for, the fans or themselves?

Signed, An Inquisitive Fan Dear Fan, You have a legitimate complaint, but I feel

SPORTS: N BASKETBALL 1981

by Paul Wilde Sports Editor How many times do you go over to the gym at i:30 or 8:00 to watch the varsity basketball teams play? These teams are the ones that have their exploits publicized (?) in The Journal. But there are two other interscholastic basketball teams on campus whose activities go largely unnoticed. They are the women's and men's junior varsity basketball squads. JV teams are an integral part of DMLC's basketball program. The JV s purpose is to gain the experience and refine the skills necessary to perform at the varsity level, as well as to give the varsity practice.

An example of the usefulness of the JV squad is the fact that almost al! of the sophomores, juniors, and seniors currently on the men's basketball team at one time played for the Ns. The women's N basketball team, under the leadership of Coach Wade, finished their year with a 1-5 record However, three of these losses came at the hands of state schools, twice to Mankato St. and once to Southwest St., so they had tough. competition. Their other two losses were dealt them

by St. Thomas and St Olaf, while their sole win came in an encounter witb St. Catherine's.

The members of this year's quintet were: Kate Martin, Rhonda Atchison, Kris Redlin, Joan Solofra, Teresa Melcher, Carol Voss, Diane Lehman, Yvette Rad~ Jeanne Matuszak, Patti Bintz, and Judy Putz. It was a difficult year for these people.

Several of their N games were called off

because of the weather, robbing them of game experience and the chance to play.

Injuries also hurt.

Nevertheless, there were some accomplishments made dur\ng tbe season. The team improved steadily over the course of the season, especially Rhonda Atchison.

Teresa Melcher, and Judy Putz. Although most of their games were not close, there were a couple bright spots. The squad played an excellent game to beat St Kates, the first time the DMLC JV basketball team had ever accomplished that feat. The Lancerettes also played a good second half against St. Thomas, although their efforts fell short.

This year's Lancer N cagers were: Glenn Davis, Dale Oechler, Tim Kassulke, Jerry Zeamer, Bob Rebers, Ken Lehman, Kurk Kramer, and Don K~ lander. They too had a tough year. The team was almost forced to discontinue at semester break because there weren't enough- men out to field a team A few of their chances to play games were abruptly snatched from them like candy from a small child The team record ended up at 2-4, the first losing season ever for Coach Micheel, losing twice to both Pillsbury and Viterbo.

However. there were many positive points in the season. First of all, it must be kept in mihd that this was Coach Micheel's least experienced team ever. In fact. four of them had not even played high school ball. The team made giant strides during the season as a whole, with Ken Lehman and Jerry Ze~er especially showing great improve•

ment Secondly, three of the four losses were close games decided at the very end of regulation, so their record could easily have been 5-1 instead of 2-4. Thirdly, the team had good spirit and worked hard day in and day out. Finally. the two victories (St Paul Bible and North Central Bible) highlighted the season. especially the spine-tingling season finale. a two point triumph over

you are looking at it the wrong way. It doesn't matter why the pompon girls didn't perform, but just the fact that they weren't here that should be the main issue. I thought your gibe at NWC was uncalled for, and to not allow girls with boyfriends at NWC is rather unrealistic.

To get down to the real issue, I talked to one of the captains of the squad She said that they bad had a vote on whether to perform or not because so many girls wanted to go out of town. Usually there would be no question of performing, but since the squad had been busy with so many games and didn't have a new routine ready, they voted not to perform. There were some who didn't agree, though.

As to your question whether they were responsible in carrying out their obligations or not, I would say they were not. I always thought that when a girl tried out for pompons, she did so with the understanding that she woµld perform at all th'e home games. Maybe that rule isn't written down, but I think the fans expect and look forward to that I feel it was especially unfortunate that they didn't perform that particular night because it was MVL Night and many of the high school girls were looking forward to seeing the pompon squad perform a routine.

Dear Readers, Before I leave for student teaching. rd like to end my last column with a comment of my own. Freshmen. I was happy to see that the stable was finally taken down from in front of the Student Union. However. it's too bad that Mary and Joseph never made it!

'82 North Central Bible.

The N squads of all sports play a big part in interscholastic athletics at DMLC. To a large extent, they represent the hopes of future success at the varsity level. They also provide the competition in practices that the varsity needs to have its skills to a razorsharp edge.

A GIANCE AT SPORTS THE WILD(E) WORLD OF SPORTS

lANCER CAGERS BATTLING BACK

by Paul Wilde Sport.~ Editor Despite all the hardships suffered by Coach Gorsline's troops in the first half of the season, the team has continued to work hard, and has pulled together to play some good basketball lately. up to the time of this writing, the Lancers have won four of their last seven games. Their recent successes have raised their record to 5-11.

However, this segment of the season didn't start auspiciously, as the Lancers absorbed three straight thumpings. In the first game. ML Senario whipped the Lancers 85-66. The Fighting Saints trailed 35-33 at halftime, but they came storming back after the intermission. outscoring DMLC 28-8 in the first ten minutes of the second half. Paul Thiesfeldt pumped in 20 points and Craig Morgan added I~ markers to lead DMLC scorers. Next Viterbo knocked off DMLC. 7966. The Lancers were outrebounded 50-35, and their poor( 14 of 25) free throw shooting didn't help either Thiesfeldt fired in 23

points. and yanked down 11 rebounds. In the third game of this stretch NorthwesternRoseville walked all over Dl\1LC 89-63.

Thiesfeld! again paced the Lancers wiU, 19 markers and 12 rebounds. DMLC's shots were on target only 38.6't, of the time. compared lo Roseville's glossy 57'\,.

Then came a complete turnaround. In a show of character. the Lancers surprised nearly everyone by racking up two consecutive wins. The first win was a 65-64 nailbiter at North Central Bible DMLC won the game on the charity stripe. canning 19 of 23 from the line compared to only 6 of 12 for the losers. Scott Bleichwehl, Craig Morgan, and Thiesfeldt led a balanced scoring attack with 14, 12, and 11 points. respectively. Then the Lancers avenged an early season setback by edging ConcordiaSt. Paul, 64-58. The Lancers erased a 30-27 halftime deficit with .an inspired second half performance. Free throws again made the difference. for the Lancers converted 16 of

20 to only 2 out of 4 for U,e visitors. Scott Bleichwehl banked in 22 points and grabbed IO caroms to lead the Lancer cause.

But DMLC suddenly suffered a relapse of their early season form, losing 3 successive contests. First of all, St Paul Bible conquered the Lancers. 67-56. Bleichwehl and Thiesfeldt topped the stat sheet with 16 and 12 points. respectively. Pillsbury invaded the DMLC gym and ravaged the Lancers, 85-62.

DMLC fell behind from the outset of the game and never caught up. Pillsbury displayed excellent marksmanship from the field ( 58't) while DMLC. unable to penetrate Pillsbury's mountainous defense. was forced to take low-percentage shots. The gross product of this was frigid (33°,,) shootin~. Bleichwehl and Tim Pieper swished 15 and 12 points, respectively.

Finally, Mt Senario nearly reached the century mark in th~ir 99-78 conquest of DMLC. Poor shooting ( 36.5~,) again plagued the Lancers. Thiesfeldt rippled the nets for

14 points. while Bleichwehl, Ken Lehman, and Craig Morgan each chipped in 12 points.

After taking Uleir lumps for three straight games, DMLC put together two more fine performances. The first was a nervewracking overtime triumph over Viterbo, 9086. despite Vllerbo's 56'\ shooti11g. Morgan was the Lancer¡s top gun [or the night. scoring 20 points and rebounding 15 misses.

Thiesfeldt added 18 points. Bleichwehl 16, and Dan Schultz passed out 8 assists. The final game of this stretch was an 83-71 victory over North Central Bible. Bleichwehl netted 22 points, while Thiesfeldt and Torgerson notched 17 and 16 markers, respectively. Schultz also contributed 9 assists.

Tournament time is fast approaching for the Lancers. Their recent success has spawned new optimism and hope for the second season. Hopefully the Lancers can carry on U,eir winning ways in the commg tournameot.

LANCERETTE QUINTET ADVANCES TO STATE

..

---- ...._

by Paul Wilde Sports Editor The Lancerelte roundballers have completed their regular season. having amassed a 7- IO record 2-3 in conference action.

Despite their sub-S0"o slate. Uley.received an at-large bid to the state tournament. and are busily preparing for their tourney game against UM-Morris. The Lancerettes are seeded seventh in the eight team field However. the 7-10 record 1s somewhat deceiving, for they have lost several games which easily could have been chalked up under U,e more attractive "W' column.

DMLC started off this segment of their season in somewhat less Ulan textbook style, taking it on the chin tl}ree times in succession. First of all. the Lancerettes collided with the Pintos of Southwest State. and in keeping with the true Pinto (the car) tradition, the collision resulted in the Pintos catching on fire and burning the Lancers 7154. Lisa Quam scorched the nets for 26 points to lead all scorers. Next came an 8274 setback at the hands of the Lady Mavericks of Mankato State. Four Lancerettes scored in double figures: Liz Petermann -20: Quam-18: BarbMueller-15; and Krls Clausnitzer - 13. Clausnitzer pulled down 15 rebounds and Mueller added 12, while Dania Habeck dished out 11 assists. Finally, the Lancerettes ended up on the short end of the 71-68 score against Gustavus after a second half rally came up a little short Quam rippled the cords for 26 markers, while Petermann spent the night

pulling out slivers after grabbing 23 big boards. Habeck again contributed her gamely (?) quota of 11 assists.

Things started looking brighter for DMLC as they put together back to back wins. In the first game. they totally annihilated a slightly (?) undermanned ( underwomanned?) Hamline team 85-19. Petermann banked in 25 points to lead Lancerette scorers. Then a big second half ( DMLC outscored them 40-28) triggered DMLC to a 75-69 triumph over St Catherine's. Quam's 19 points led a balanced scoring attack.

Clausnitzer added 15. while Habeck and Thiesfeldt chipped in 12 points. Quam garnered 14 rebounds while Habeck stole the ball 8 times.

The rest of the season saw no winning or losing streaks. Despite dominating the backboards 61-29 against Bethany. Uie Lancerettes still lost their first game in this stretch.

83-80. Quam poured in 30 points to lead the Lancerette offense. The second contest resulted in a 92-85 conquest of St Theresa Quam. Clausnitzer, and Petermann scored 27, 21, and 18 points, respectfully. Thiesfeldt skied for 18 rebounds, while Petermann nabbed 15. Carleton then invaded U,e DMLC gym and walked away with a 61-57 win. Once again, a furious second half comeback fell just short. Thiesfeldt grabbed 14 caroms. and Quam tossed m 20 points. Next the Lancerettes ripped St. Benedict's. 95-84. as they completely devastated St. Benedict's on U,e boards, 65-36. Quam shot the eyes out of the basket on the way to 34 points,

while Petermann netted 23 more. ThiesfeldL Petermann. and Clausnitzer yanked down 20. 18. and 15 rebounds, respectively.

Finally, Mankato State again defeated the Lancers. 74-65. Mueller swished 20 pomts and Thiesfeldt 15 for the Lancerettes The Lancerettes have had their ups and downs all year, winning a couple and then losing a couple. They also suffered a severe blow when U,ey lost point ~ard Dania Habeck for the season because or an inJury.

To do well at state they will need to be more controlled on offense. patiently workin~ for good shots. Poor free Ulrow shooting and turnovers have also proved very cosUy and need to be improved. Conversely, rebounding has been a big strength for DMLC. Hopefully they will put it all together in the state tournament.

A bit of warning is in order for the juniors who are looking forward to student teaching next year. If anything can go \I.Tong while your college supervisor is present or coming, it usually does. The following incidents will bear this out Prof. Menk was visiting the day the bubbler fell off the wall

while Albert Goodenough was student teaching. Two of Corrine Schardine·s seven male fourth graders decided to make a moustache and ear plug out of the cotton balls used in the science experiment while Prof Menk was sitting at the science table with them. And there is one funny incident from first quarter. Prof. Wendler wac; holding his first conference with Gail Scharpen when the fire alarm went off lea\ ing the both of them in a locked and darkened room in thl" basement for five mmutes due to a well-Ira.med student who was unaware that the conference was taking place But it should also be said that each of these incidents were treated with great patience arid understanding on the part of lhe professors.

I'd like to leave a little note to next year's seniors Enjoy your student teachin~ ne.xt year no matter what the circumstances or the situations in which. you may find yourself. Of course it isn't always funny and full of sunshine. There will be hard times. but keep in mind that you were placed there for a very special learning experience that was tailor made for you by God. Remember that when you are starting your third detailed lesson plan for the ni~ht or wht>n a lesson just didn't go the way you had hoped. Remember that you are there for a reason and learn from every experience as much as you can!

THE ELVES AND THE SHOEMAKER

by Carol Wuerch

Gue.~/ Wnter Have you ever misplaced a book that you had just a minute ago? Did your bed very mysteriously !-{el short sheeted? Did you ever wonder what caused these phenom· ena'! The culprits can finally be seen. and maybe captured in your heart on April 23rd.

At 7:30 p.m. the stage will come alive with three very spunky elves. This is the night when Children's Theater presents "The Elves and the Shoemaker."

The cast consists of thirteen hardworking characters. All of them are charaders by themselves. but they work extra hard to make the play come to life on Thursday and Friday for many children.

Do not waste your time on Friday night doing homework Rather come to the DMLC auditorium to laugh at three silly elves. to boo at a terribly mean Heckla, and to share in the joys of childhood. If you enjoy chewing bubble gum. you will certainly en1oy "The Elves and lhe Shoemaker.''

EDITORIAL hy Mirrum Z1mr,1ermonn Editor-i11-Ch1ef In trying to focus on a topic for this editorial. I searched my mind for a familiar subject. I thoughl that perhaps a coming event would be suitable. however. that only brought exam week to mind. I decided. no. look a little farther. Then I decided to take a different approach. \A.'hy not discuss an unfamiliar topic'! It is not as absurd as it may sound. The topic posed a question that many DMLC students have contemplated. What IS it going to be like to graduate and step into the profession of hemg a real teacher'? The reason that this subject is somewhat unfamiliar is because we haven·t really been there yet. This moment of the future may be of a greater or lesser distance depending on one's status. but God-willini,t such a moment will occur.

In speculation. I suspect there will be moments of discouragement when 2 + 2 won·t equal 4. There may be moments when every child in the classroom seems preoccupied out or doors \\hen actually they are sitting in English class. Other times someone will say''! don't get if' to what you thought was your best lesson plan. Certainly there will be times when a long day leaves the teacher exhausted. but I suspect there is anoU1er side to this profession.

A ~enior. ba<:k after student teaching. told me that it's when you gel to the point that you feel you can't write another lesson plan when the lloly Spirit gives you strength. I think that assurance helps to dampen the fears that one might have. Somehow it makes that moment in the future not look so scary. Certainly it should not be a scary moment because the Holy Spirit will guide us in our endeavors. That comment can give direction lo our goals or becoming teachers. Good or bad we are not out there alone and there is good too. Nothing should discourage the Christian teacher from his purpose to teach the lambs of Christ. 2 + 2 might not always equal 4. but that child is still a lamb o f Jesus. Some strug_~ling will just make victory that much more worthwhile when four little fingers pop up and the child says. "Now I get it! ..

Rewarding moments will occur.

Whether we are almost teachers or still students with studying left to accomplish. the Holy Spirit is only a prayer away. He will guide our successes and failures in order that we might become mature Christians. We mav not actually know what being a teacher is actually like. but we do know the Holy Spirit will help us. He will be there to give strength to overcome difficulties and to rejoi-.e in triumphs.

FOCUS ON THE FAMILY

by H.e~ley Steir,her~.

SIC/If Writer Greetings! ,\ few weeks ago. I was privileged to witness the first in a series of films dcdkated lo the inte~ily of the Amerk·an familv. Dr. lamt's l)obson·s 7-lt.•dure serws 1s t•nlitled Focus on the Family and will ht· shown at Dr. Martm Luttwr Colle!,?e in the campus auditorium on Tuesday evPnings at 8:00 p.m. l11e films arl' slated fc ,r !\larch I h. :.!3. :m and April t:l. '.W. Ti a11cl deal with the lollowiug topic's:

I. The Strong-willed Child

:.!. Handling the• Strong-willed Child Without Breaking the '-piril :t Christian ~alhering l. Preparing for ,\doh::scence: The Origms of Sell-Doubt 5. Preparing !or Adolesterwe: Peer Pressure and ',exuality 6. What Wives \.\'ish Their Husbands Knew About Women: The Lonely Housewife 1 . \\l1at Wives Wish Their Husbands Knew About Women: Money. Sex and thildren Dr Dobson examines these subjects in a warm. light-hearted. friendly manner offe1ing l!enuine Christian advice to the problems facing the family today His wit is charming- and his eloquence is superb. One look at this man tells you in an instant that he cares.

James Dobson, Ph.D.. is Associate Clinical Professor uf Pediatrics at the University of Southern California School of Medicine, and is on the Attending Staff of Children's Hospital of Los Angeles in the Division or Medical Genetics. He is also a licensed psyc~ologist in the State of California. Dr. Dobson has devoted his professional life to

the integrity of the American family and has written many books on the subject ( Dare to

Discipline; Hide or Seek, Self-Esteem for the Child: The Mentally Retarded Child and His Family: The Strong-willed Child; Preparing for Adolescence: What Wives Wish Their Husbands Knew About Women). Hl• has been ii freqm•nt J...lllt'St on nt.-twork tl'lcvismn shows. and recent!-., laundwd his own half-hour program c>nlitlecl Focus on the Family. His radio program ( by the same nanwl is currently heard on 115 stations each wt>ek.

Tiw first two films in the series covered the strong-willed child and how to deal with him. Dr. Dobson offered excellent insight into the roles of both parent and child and how they relate to one another. Children c:are who is touglwst and Lhev spend a great deal of their childhood years I rying to prove il. oftentimes through willful defiance. an ac-t which stems from original sin and is "automatic" in human beings. Al those times when the child tries to force his will on the parents. discipline is indeed necessary. But what kind'' According to Dobson. the key to good Christian discipline 1s a mixture of love and respect .. in balance." Parents need never be overly harsh with their children. and punishments should never be given in anger. The authority of the parent is enough. The defiant child. oddly enough, finds security in testing the limits set by their parents. They try to break through their will, though that is not what they really want. All children want and need is Christian guidance in a loving. respectful manner.

Dr. Dobson submits this helpful advice regarding discipline:

I. Define the "boundaries" before enforced.

2. When challenged. respond with confident decisiveness.

3. Look for ''true" defiance or childish irresponsibility and act accordingly.

4. Teach after conllict.

5. Avoid impossible demands.

6. Let your conscience be your guide.

Dr. James Dobson is indeed a dynamic individual. and he has made quite an impact on American society. His concern for the life

or the family is extremely evident in both his life and his profession. I urge everyone to spend an hour each Tuesday in April to see the remaining films in the Focus on the Family series. I guarantee you a learning experience you won·t soon forget. And when you get the chance. pick up a copy of one of his books. Every concerned Christian should really take the time to look into wl ,at Dobson has to say on one of the most important subjects facing us today - the welfare of the American famlly.

A VISIT FROM BETHANY The Concert Choir of Bethany Lutheran College presented a sacred concert in the chapel of DMLC on March 25. 1981. Over fifty students. of this two year college supported by the Evangelical Lutheran Synod. praised God with their musical talents. The choir has performed sacred concerts throughout the U.S. since its founding over a half century ago.

The repertoire was sung beautifully by the Concert Choir with several songs by the Chamber Singers. The voices of these young men and women certainly projected out to the hearers a talent as well as a message.

Violins and a portative organ served to

enhance many selections. The obvious hard work of preparation truly provided a meaningful experience for all involved This liberal arts Christian college provides musical organizations of many types. They include the Concert Choir. Chamber Singers.

Chapel Choir . Wind Ensemble. and a Jazz group. Many of the students are involved in these activities while others take keyboard. vocal. or instrumental lessons. Certainly the college has made good use of these organizations.

Professor Randi V. Ellefson and his choir indeed brought a fine evening of fellowship to DMLC

THE OLD SOUTH COMES TO DMLC b} Merry Naab Staff Writer Are you tired of those same old, boring weekends? There just never seems to be any excitement on campus. right? Besides. I have so much homework to do I have to stay in the dorm on Friday and Saturday nights or I just won't get it done.

Well. put your homework aside for just one night because there is excitement brewing for the first weekend in May. Yes. that old, boring weekend will be livened up on May I st This is the highlight or sprin!,l and it marks the soon approaching end or another school year ( plenty of reason to celebrate).

This year the spacious izym is going to be transformed into a beautiful part of the United States: the Old South.. There will be no evidences of basketball games played just a few months before. As you walk into the familiar room you are carried into the wonderful land of the old aristocratic South.

This is the land where romann~ fills the air. It brings to mind the wondl•rful balls. the romantic rnurtships. and the chivalry of the gentlemen or rnurse the South would not tw complete without the plantations and their big mansions.

All of these things will bt• part of the mood neated by the Collegiate Council on May I st If by now you do not know what b1~ and

exciting event I am describin!,?: it is the Spring Banquet of 1982. This year's theme is 11-IE OLD '-OUTH. The ground work has he!,(un and the Council is trying very hard to bring part of the Old South with its warm days to the wind-blown and sonwtimes "frozen tundra" of :\li1111esot.1.

DEAR DANA Seein~ as Dawn troin 1)1:AR l>AWN is student teaching. a new image has filed for the position. Thus. Of.AR DANA will take owr the column. Address your problems to Box -Hl.

DEAR DANA, Why do certain people close the library for an entire evening for events that last until X: ,,) or earlier? For instance Choral Vespers. or even better. a "hornecominJ,"l" concert at St. Paul's. Don't thev realize that there are many students who would appreciate the use of that facility after attending such events?

While we' re on the subject, couldn"t the library be open on either Friday or Saturday evening for a few hours'' I am willing to contend that the benefits that are gained by the students using the library during that time outweigh the mfnimal costs of opperation (Sil') for thoes [sic] few extra hours. So what IS the reason?

Would a petition to this effect help any'! If so, let me know and I'll get one going.

A Library Lover

Dear Library Lover, Prof. Jacobson. the DMLC librarian, explained that the library stall occasionally conducts student polls within the librarv to determine how they can best serve the student bodv. Such polls indicate that the cost to operate the library during those odd hours would outw('igh by far the few benefits ~ained by the few students using the facility at such times. The staff has determined through experimentation that opening the library following sm·h events as you mentioned or on a Friday or Saturda} evening would not be profitable. In a time of budget and spending ay,..1reness. no rnmulative costs can be considered "minimal."

Your suggestion of a petition is a viable possibility providing you are able to document your generality of "many students.· If you are seriously considering such action. I sugiest you talk with Prof.

Jacobson.

Finally. I contend that students the majority of the lime are able to accomodate themselves and tpeir academic work to coincide with the library's schedule.

MOVE HANDS, SAVE LIGHT Hickory D1ckorv . .• Dock The spring that runs your clock u:1lf rm~ on ltme or gladly chime If you set 11 two o'clock.

The semi-annual monkeying with the clocks begins at 1 am.. Sunday, April 25, when Daylight Saving Time is ushered in again.

You'll turn your clock ahead so that I am becomes 2 am. (Remember the saw

covering the simple but apparently confusing procedure: spring forward; fall back?) \ou'll lose an hour·s sleep on Sunday ( or sleep an hour longer. by the clock. as the case may be), but you'll gam 1t back next October.

Or to put it another way: move hands to save light

To start off the fun-filledevenmg there will be a scrumptious meal served by the world renowned chef from the DMLC plantation, Mr. Karl Tague. For this special occasion he will prepare for the guests a most tempting meal Some of the tasty morsels on the menu are Southern style barbecued ribs, deep fried chicken. cornbread muffins, and as a special treat. real black-eyed peas.

Well. after a great meal like that. there might be a need to take a stroll around the gym. This gives you a chance to look at the beautifully decorated walls and displays that are set up. For the romantic, there is an opportunity to walk through a gazebo and flower garden. A wooden swing is also available for the couples to have their pictures taken or to just sit and enjoy the Southern atmosphere.

The evening would not be complete without some kind of entertainment. The Spring Banquet offers something new this year. A group of pastors and teachers from the Milwaukee area were asked to perform for the campus family. They will be entertammg the guests with Southern charm and style. Of course. the students have a chance to perform also in compliance with the Southern theme. A special production consisting of a group of DMLC students is bemg planned. This should be a very enjoyable part of the evenin~.

Of course this is only a sampling of what the Spring Banquet has to offer. There are awards given out and little surprises are planned throughout the night It should be a most successful banquet!

This banquet gives all you Rhett Butlers on campus a perfect chance to ask out the Scarlet O'Hara in your life. There is no need to worry about finances since this Southern treat is free to the campus family. This is a good time to get to know your fellow classmates and enjoy one another's company.

A great night is being planned for all on May l st So don't y,.aste this chance to enjoy the Old South by staying in your dorm room or wishing you had a date for the night. Get out there and ask someone to join you in a night of laughter and good times. Don't be shy. ask the girl who sits in front of you in class or the guy who sits across from you_ If you like good food, music, or just plain good times. this year's Spring Banquet is for you. I hope to see ya·11 there!

Elisabeth had gone to get food for her familv. Finally they were re-

Sews Editor A campus family does not consist of just <;ludents and teachers. I believe many of the workers at DMLC feel very close and friendly to the student body Almost every student knows the names of the cooks. although many c ould not tell you which one is Vercille and which one is Burnell. There is another worker on campus who most students know and appreciate. His name is Heinz Zickler. He will have been working at DMLC for thirty years on May I st Ht' is a very special man. who always has a smile and a story to share with whomever he meets. Right now his job is dassified as the Buildin~ Supervisor. Since this man has contributed much lo DMLC. I would like to introduce a little of my knowledge or him to you.

He invited me to his house for this interview. so it would not hinder his work. He lives m a c.·harming Iii tie house. with a delit:ihlful. petite wife. ,met a spunk-y dog. His house is just brimming with his talent and storil'S. Both Heinz ancl his wife. Elisabeth. have (ierman ac.Tents. ·1he dog·s name is Jaeger,.,.. hirh means "hunter.. in (iC'rnrnn. I am sure he would have a German acn·nt. too. if dogs could I.Jark i11 sud1 a way. I asked Heinz to give 111e a brief sketch of his life in Germany. but with his complkatcd background it was not easy to give a si111ple sketch. So here are some of his very exdting and intriguing adventurPs bat·k in the mother country.

Heinz was born in BO{fo1m. (it'rmany. in 1917. He completed his bask edu1.:ation by fourteen years of age. He be1.:ame an apprentice to a cabinetmaker. and by the lime he was eighteen years old he was a fullfledged cabinetmaker .<\t this stage in his lift: he desired to come to Amerka Hitler had different plans for llcinz.

Thl' war then broke out with Russia. His reginwnt was sent as lar north as Leningrad. l11e season was winter, and it was severely cold. II was onlv a short time before Christmas. and the front was fairly peaceful Many of the houses had been evacuated. and Hemz found a pair of tee skates in one of these houses. Heinz just loved to skate. One Sunday morning he decided to indulge in his desire to ice skate. It was a large and peaceful lake he solitarily skaled on. at least he thought he was alone. All of a sudden a Russian machine gun spotted him. and a shot went whizzing by him. He said that if

In 19-48 Heinz and Elisabeth decided lo go to America.

Heinz started working al DMLC in 1952.

I questioned Heinz's fedings toward Hitler

DMLC. It was played in fall rather than football. He coached the team. and he loved it. He quit soccer with the students fifteen years ago, he wanted to walk off the field rather than be carried off He may have given up soccer at the coll~e level. but at home he has a soccer playing dog that could win any game. Of course if Jaeger is playing. the ball wW have a few teeth marks.

Heinz does have a wonderful hobby. He can transform plain old wood into beautiful art. ·mere is a cabinet in hi.c; front room which he made that pe<1ple only drt'am of owning. He has designed jewelry boxes that come to life when you open them For all ol you piano players. he has designed a miniature piano that you <.'Ould almost play His work is truly beautiful. and he certainly uses his talent majestically.

He has to take care of mam small jobs at DMLC. He is the spec. ial one who is allowed lo put the nail in the wall. He fixes windows when screens mysteriously come loose. I le likes to have a challenge' though. and he finds this in desigrnng nPW things. He designed and madt• the rnhmel 1111 the !-t'<'Ond fluqr ol the ,\cadl'mw Center whi<·h contains rock sp<•cinwns.

Jaeger, the family dog. got in the picture with the Zic.lder's. and the war, a combination that occupied and changed his life. Heinz said that he never felt bitter towards anybody. Hitler was voted in by the people and he did much for Germany. During his reign there was no crime. The penalty for committing a crime was death, no questions asked Later Hitler got carried away with power, but Heinz was fighting for his country and not Hiller.

Elisabeth remarked that it is wrong to refer to her old country as Nazi Germany. This is only one political party. You would not refer to our country as Republican United States, she pointed out She has a very good statement there.

In 1964, Heinz introduced soccer to

AGI.ANCE TH E WILD(E) WORLD OF SPORTS

DMLC SPRING SPORTS ounooK hv Paul Wilde Sport., Editor This issue of the Messenger marks the 1982 debut of two unheralded writers. Due to the massive amount of sports news to cover ( eight sports). I couldn't cover ii all myself. so I decided to go on an all-out expedition in search of writers. Well I searched all the way over to the other side of my Summit Hall room. where I managed to unearth ( under various dormitory valuables) my roommate, Floyd Ross. Being the ~enerous and true friend he is. I rnnvinced him to put his considerable talent (? l to good use by writing for the paper He in turn scrounged up another friend. Dave Ebert, to help him out (writin~ responsibilities tend to spread rapidly - ifs something like the flu l Ross and Ebert ar e the brams ( ·1 J behind the formation of the critically acclaimed newspaper series. the DMLC Sports Release. The two are the student sports information directors for that paper. a total sports paper which is sent to Synod high sc·hools as well as selected other places. I ask you to read attentively to what these two have to say ( Floyd wrote the baseball and men's basketball articles. while [)ave wrote the women's basket hall article).

Spnng sports nt DMLC have quite a tradition for excellence. Four teams - the men's baseball. tennis. and golf teams. as well as the women's softb,111 team. have been perennial powerhouses. <lne sport. womt>n's track. just ~ot orr the ground. while anothPr. women's tennis. just started this year. Both. hoWt'ver. do show promise for the future. ~ow let's sneek a peck at all the sprin~ sports. st;irlin~ with the women.

Where can you ~o to see exotic rorms of lush vegetation sprinl{in~ up'! Where could you possibly find fine • examples of soil strudure'! Where C"an vou find all this as well as other ,1esthetk forms of natural beauty?

At the women's softball diamond. of course!

And better yet, no admission is c·har~ed!

No. the main rt•ason to C"ome to the women's softball diamond is. of course, to see the Lancerette softball team perform.

The I %2 women's softball team. coached

by Barb Leopold. has a very hard act to hve up to match the performance of last year's Lancerettes. Last year's squad won the conference championship with a 7-3 slate. and compiled a 1-1-10 overall record But wait. there's more They also ~arnered third place at state. and did better than any other Minnesota team in national re~1onals by pocketin).( firth place.

Six letter-winners return to the diamond. ll1ey are: seniors Wendy Ristow and Carrie WaJdschmist (both of whom received all-state honors last year). and Beth Kemnitz; junior Beth Schuppe; and sophomores Beth Valleskey and Kate

Martin.

The rest of the roster includes junior

Lygia Behrmann, sophomores Tina Mohr, Sue Pantazon, Joan Solofra, Connie Schick. and freshmen Patti Bintz, Karen Herman, Kelli Young, Tammy Speidel, and lshe Wallen; As maybe some

of you have noticed, the team is verv young. for only rive of the 16 players are juniors or seniors. rhe lack or experience may show itself during the season. but it's hard to tell right now. However, there is plenty of talent evident in the women. and the next step is to find the nght combination of people.

Women's track and field. coached by Judy Wade and assisted by Duane Schlender and Jim Rademan, is entering its third season this spring. The program has shown l{reat prowess in its two seasons of existence. and Wade is hoping this trend will continue 25 women are out for the team. I:J of them newcomers The returning letter-winners are: seniors Becky Jastor (who IS also a cocaptain l. a Ion~ distance specialist: Sally Jacob, who has converted from an excellent sprinter to long distance work: and Suzy Peter, who has also switched from sprints to middle and long distance; junior Wendy Palmtag, the other co-captain. who specializes in long distance: and a horde of sophomores - Dawn Krenke ( I 00 hurdles. relays>. Chris Melso ( 400 hurdles [ she garner ed a 6th at state in this event]. mile).

Chris Marsch (javelin (she placed 6th at state in the javc..lin), discuss). Judy Putz. (javelin.discuss). Janice Kant ( middle and Ion!,! distance), and Jeanne Matuszak ( quarter-mile).

The newcomers are as follows: sopho• more Lynn Polensky: and freshmen Sarah

Schimming, Patty Filber, Lori Wickert, Jenny Timm. Chris Hankwltz. Amy and Karen Pappenfuss, Penny Knuth. Amy Torgerson. Beth Peterson. Renee Bolognia. and Denice Lange.

Th<' 11182 women·s track team is still very inexperienced. for almost the whole squad are sophomores or freshmen. The team isn't deep enough yet to score very well teamwise in meets Nevertheless. the team should continue to get stronger. and is shooting for its lirst team first-place finish. ~lost meets an• very competitive invitationals. and the be.-;t shot at a team first probably will be in the Southwest meet on April 14.

"Where can you go to see landscape formations comparable to the San Andreas Fault Line? Or to see unique sand forma- tions. To the OMLC.: tennis cour ts of courts •( as anyone who has been out on the courts can testify)!'" scholastic team on the tennis courts. It is the women's tennis team. For the past few years. there have been several women on the so-called "men's" tennis team. but the women didn't have a team of thell' O\.\'ll. The growing interest in tennis among the women led to the formation of the women's tennis team this year The great interest in tennis is proven by the fact that 22 women tried out for the squad, bravely stumbling into the DMLC gymnasium for practices at the previosly unheard of hour of 6:15 am.

However. 22 ~ople is just too many for a tennis team, so the squad had to be cut to 12 players. It was a tough decision for Coach Karen Shllllng. The survivors are: seniors Usa Albrecht, Mary McCain, and Anne

Rank; juniors Usa Jeske, Laura Pankow, and Beth Schlbbelhut; sophomores Dawn Gronholz and Pat Lemke; and freshmen Beth Teuteberg, Beth Buchberger, Sandy Neuwirth, and Kris Redlin. Four of these women - AlbrechL McCain Rank. and Lemke. return from last year's "men's" squad. McCain played No. I singles and doubles. Albrecht was placed at No. 2 singles and No. I doubles. Rank competed at No. 4 singles and No. 2 doubles. and Lemke nailed down a spot at No. 5 singles and No. 3 doubles~ It is hard to predict how the Lancerettes will fare this year. this l>em~ their first competitive season. It can be noted. nonetheless. Ihat the squad does have talent and the potential for improvement. In addition to that last year's netters won their only meet. a 5-4 squeaker over Bethany Regardless of the outrnme of thL'i season. 1t will provide the experience that will vastly help the team.

Now let's transfer our fon1s over to the men·s sports. The men's tenms team probahlv accomplished the most of last sprinif s men's teams. The Lancer nettcrs agam have their sights set hi!,!h Ihis year The squad. rnached by Dennis Gorsline and Arlen Koestler. is vyin~ for ;i third con• secutive Twin Rivers Collegiate Conference championship. Two years ago the Lan<:er netters romped to a relatively easy conference title. Last year was a different story.

DMLC edged out Concordia-St. Paul and i\orthwestern-Rost•ville in a gladiatorial strug!,!le so close· and fiercely contested that out of the several thousand pmnts played that day had one point turned out differently. the Lancers would have had to settle for second place. If just lour points had turned out differently. the Lancers would have dropped all the way to third.

However. the I ~182 Lancer netters will be hard pressed to successfull-.. repeat as champions. The squad lost four lettermen from last year's team Returning lellermen are Paul Wilde. Don Kolander, and John Ashenmacher. \\~Ide. a junior. played both No. I singles and doubles last year. compilin~ a 9-3 record in singles. In a strategic maneuver by Coach Gorsline he was moved to '\o. 2 singles for the con• ference meet. where he won an individual title. Wilde is also this year's captain.

Kolander. a sophomore. played No. 5 singles, where he racked up an imposing 111 record. and No. 2 doubles. where he and brother John won the conference title. Silkysmooth Ashenmacher. a junior, finished with a sparkling l 0-1 slate at No. 6 singles. and played both No. 3 and No. I doubles. He also won a conference championship at No. 6 singles.

The rest of the squad consists of: juniors Pete (AT.) Schloesser and Kevin Sonntag; sophomore Jru,on Muench, a returnee from last year's squad: and freshmen Bob Favorite, Jim Brandt, Tim Boemeke, Mike Raabe, and John Sebald As of this writing. it is not known who will complete the rest of the varsity positions.

The Lancers won't be as strong this year as in past years. Thesquadisveryyoung(no

seniors) and inexperienced The fortunes of this year· s team rest heavily on how well the newcomE:rs can rill in the gaps. fhe Milwaukee Brewers have County Stadium. The Minnesota Twins have the new Metrndome. The DMLC Lancers have Meihack Memorial Stadium Meihack Memorial Stadium offers lush natural sur• roundings. colorful seating with an excellent view. and a dynamite baseball team that provides exciting action. Twenty-two hearty Lancer men are working hard and having fun to represent DMLC ( and these guys don't even get paid).

The squad consLsts of lour seniors. five juniors. eight sophomores, and five freshmen Fourteen members return from the 191-10-·81 team. Nine of these fourteen started in at least one game last year and received a good amount of valuable playing time. Therefore Coach Melhac.k has a ~ood nudeus upon which to build fhe senior leaders are Scott Herrewig. Dave Leeker.

Greg Stam. and Paul Thiesfeldt.

Unfavorable wt•atlwr kPpt tlw players ins1dt- for most of their early st>ason prm·· t1ees but they did not let that stop tlwm from f,(t'llin~ lhin~s done. With the entire season packed into five weeks. the schedult.> of twelve doubleheader dates is hectic. Any canu:'llations due to weather conditions s1mplv tomplic.ate matters. since ~ames have to be rescheduled. Six home doubleheaders are on the schedule They are: ;,;onh Central ( Thurs. 411 ). Mt. Senario (Tuts. I 6). Pillsbury (Thurs. •1/ 15). Northwestern-Mn. (Tues. -1, 201 North Central ( Thurs. l I 22 ). and Concordia-St Paul ( Tues.

5 4 ). All home dates begin at 2:00 p.m The l 98l Lancer baseball team cordially invites one and all to join in the fun of their season. So come on out to the ballpark.

Bnnl{ a blanket. sit on the grass. bask in the sun. relax. and enjoy yourself The players promise they won't strike and would appreciate your support.

The Lancer golf team has made a habit out of tearing up the links ( not literally) in past years. The tt•am did not successfully defend their national championship last year but still sported an impressive 12-4 mark last year. 1l1e Lancers. coached by Fred Wulff, return four lettermen. They are Tim Torgerson, Jim Ross, Scott Huebner, and Tim Gustafson. As of this writing. the squad hasn't had any practices. so the roster IS not yet known.

It should be another fine spring for DMLC sports. There have been better. more expenenced teams here. but the teams all have the potential for good years.

AT -SPORTS MEN'S BASKETBALL REVIEW

by F7oyd Ross Guest Writer Men's basketball is over. It is time to look back at a disappointing season and forget The final record was five wins and fifteen losses. The Lancers lost their last two regular season games and two post-season games to finish the year on a sour note.

The first of those four setbacks was dominated by Northwestern-Roseville. The Eagles· 71 points nearly doubled DMLC's effort of 39 points. Northwestern put 5I 't of their shots through the net, while the Lancers hit only 28'~•. The Eagles also beat the Lancers on the Cree throw line. 79'\. to 50".., and in rebounds 43-25. The Lancers· 39 points were fairly evenly distributed, with

nobody getting very many.

DMLC was in their game with Trinity Bible College, but found themselves on the short end of a 68-63 score. The story of this game was 56'-4, shooting by TBC to 39?;, for DMLC, as well as foul trouble. The Lancers led by one point at halftime. but committed fourteen of their 24 fouls in the second half. As a result, TBC hit eight of thirteen free throw attempts to help them snatch the victory from the Lancers. Tim Torgerson netted 18 points and Craig Morgan hit 16 for DMLC. The Upper Midwest Conference Tournament awaited the Lancers. Unfortunately, events were not coming up roses. DMLC fell prey in the first game to a feasting Mt. Senario squad who was playing before a

home crowd. The Fighting Saints crushed the Lancers 110-70. DMLC turned the ball over 31 times and were miserably outrebounded 62-39. Mt Senario was simply too powerful. Lancer scoring honors went to Scott Bleichwehl with 21 points.

Concoi;dia of St. Paul was the Lancers' foe in the second game and for the third time during the year. The season series was tied at one win by each team. A 68-59 victory by the Comets gave them the series two games to one while ending the Lancers· season in the loss column. The game was fairly close, but Concordia took control in the second half to erase DMLC's three point halftime lead. Ken Lehman played his most productive offensive game of the season as he

led DMLC with 18 points. Craig Morgan poured in 15 and Paul Thiesfeldt added 14 for the Lancers.

Now is the time to look to the future and

points ( 21.5 per game) for the season. Right behind Quam was senior Barb Mueller with 244 points ( 13.6). Senior Liz Petermann and Junior Kris Clausnitzer scraped the boards for I 94 ( 10.8 per game) and 181 ( 10.1 ) rebounds respectively. Sophomore Dania Habeck led the team in assists giving out 6 per game. As a team the Lancerettes outscored their opposition from the floor avera~ing 72.7 points per game to their opponents 70.8 DMLC also outrebounded their competitors with an average of 49.2 rebounds per game to their opponents :38.

Coach Leopold commented that despite the many setbacks the team had encountered throughout the year. they had adjusted well and had achieved their goal of going to state. Coach also remarked.

"Nobody on the team gave up. They just kept giving more. which shows the desire. determination. and pride each of them had in themselves and the team." Hopefully. this desire. determination. and pride will carry throu~h to next year's team as they will try to improve on this year's overall record of 7 wins and 11 losses.

hope for better times. It may be hard to find something good in the past dismal season, but that does not mean there were no promising notes or good times on the courts. We are proud of our Lancers and wish them the best for next year.

Special congratulations go to Paul Thiesfeldl The senior forward was named the most valuable played on this year's team. Paul shot 40~, from the floor and 71 ",. from the line for a total of 239 points ( 12.6 points/ game). He also led alJ rebounders with 141 caroms.

IANCERE'I*I'E BASKETBALL hv Dave Ehert (iue.~f Writer The Lancerettes ( seeded 7th) were hoping for an upset when they took on UMMorris ( seeded 2nd) at the AIAW Division Lil State Tournament. HC>wever. UM-Morris would not be denied as they ended the Lancerette season by handing them a 71-61 setback. Coach Leopold summed up the loss when she stated. '"We outshot Morris f'rom lhe field C40"..-:37''., ). hut fouls and hittinfo( onlv 50'',, from the d1arily stripe hurl us... Barb Mueller, wllo was named to the

all-tournament team. led DMLC in scoring with a game high 20 points. Also helping the Lancerette cause were Kris Clausnitzer and Karla Thiesfeldt who scored 11 and IU points respectively. Liz Petermann led the team in rebounding pulling down IO caroms.

The 1981-1982 Lancerette squad was just a little short of having a winning season. The early loss of Lori Thompson and also key injuries kept the Lam:erettes from playing at lull stren~h throughout the year. Leading the l.am:erettes from the field was sophomore Lisa Quam. who scored 387

THE OLD SOUTH REVIVED AT DMLC The audience was welcomed to The Hollow plantation by Scarlett O'Hlllvlew (Laurel Beckmann) and Rhett Summit (Pete Schumacher) for a backyard barbeque. After the prayer, led by Rev. Lange, it was time to taste the Southern style treat.c; prepared for us. And treats they were for there were all kinds of goodies from which to choose. The black-eyed peas were even served They were definitely something different, but I thought they were good. Maybe I'm not the full-blooded Yankee I thought I was 1 During the meaJ everyone was entertained with dinner music produced by The Dixiel and Combo (made up of students and Prof. Hermanson on the tuba) and

by Merry Naab Staff Writer The Spring Banquet has come and gone, but many happy memories will linger on.

The Collegiate Council did a great job with putting the banquet together. Everything seemed to move along smoothly. For those of you who weren't able to come to this magnificent banquet. I will try to give you some idea of what happened at the Spring Banquet of 1982.

As you walked into the gym, you couldn't help but notice the beautiful decorations throughout the room. There were plants of many different kinds hung at various places to add a romantic touch to the room. The gazebo was there as promised and was almost always occupied by couples getting their pictures taken. Another big attraction was the swing that was hung in the far corner of the gym. Many had their pictures taken here too. So with the mood set. it was time to start the program.

The Barbershop Octet (Prot Brick. Pro f.

Lenz, Prof. Hartwig, Prof. Hermanson, Prof. Huebne r, Prot Klockziem, Prof.

MAGICAL MEMORABLE MOMENTS

by Naomi Rapp Staff Writer That's what Children's ll1eater created \\ith this year's play, "The Elves and the Shoemaker." As the curtain opened however, all seemed lost for the shoemaker's wife (Lois Abel) and daughter Karen (Terri Krueger). The shoemaker himself was far from home fighting the war, and in his absence, a sinister woman named Heckla (Anne Demsien) contrived a plan to seize his shop, for legend held that it was built over heaps of buried gold Under the supervision of Grernlo ( Be th

So many of the townspeople, including Joan (Teri Zahn), Rhoda (Deb Ulhom), Meg (Ellyn Wilkens), Tabitha ( Donna Kaye), and wealthy Dame Margery ( Judy De llkat),

order new shoes that the task turns out greater than Widget had anticipated Determined to do good, the three elves work a little of their magic and get the job done just in the nick of time. After the shoemaker ( Brent Schmidt) fmaJly returns home, an old lady named Ursula ( Dawn Rosenau) reveals the secret scheme of Hedda, who is deprived of making any more lives miserable by a pair of shoes ( on which Widget had cast a spell) that carry her out of the town and beyond much to everyone's delight.

Children's Theater performed the play a total of five times on April 22 and 23. The first four presentations were afternoon matinees, enchanting some 2,000 children altogether. The final one was open to college students and the general public. Although Children's Theater productions are geared mainly to "little people," young and old alike "From enjoyed the entertainment.

watching those at the Friday evening perfo rmance, I can see we're all s till kids at heart," said Bonita Schlenker, this year's play director Such shared enthusiasm was especially obvious during the brief intermission, when even adults joined in singing and doing the actions to a short "duck" song led by members of the cast. A big thank-you goes to aJI who helped ,n any way to make "The Elves and the Shoemaker" a great success.

Barb Mueller for the female athletic award and to Scott Herrewlg for the male athletic award Then the new Collegiate Council officers were announced. Congratulations to Dawn Rosenau (Treas.), Janice Winter (Seel), Phil Hackbarth (VlcePres.), and Kurt Rosenbaum (Pres.).

It just so happened that there was another special person to tx honored and congratulated. This person was none other but our dear housemother. Mrs. Siegler. ~1rs.

Siegler has been with our school for 20 years. In honor of this special occasion. she was given 20 roses, one for each year. A pin and a plaque were also given to her. May God bless Mrs. Siegler as she continues to be our "Mom away from home" After singing the Alma Mater, there was a fifteen minute mtermission. This allowed people to take more pictures and to get up and stretch a bit Punch was served just outside of the gym for everyone to enjoy.

Then came the entertainment; what a grand show! The first act was a tap dance routine by Stade Lehner. She chose a ragtime band tune and did an excellent job performing. This was followed by a melodrama performed by a group of students.

There was the mean villian (Scott Martinson) and his accomplice (Laurie M1Iler), the wealthy but sick widow (Carol Meier), her masculine" son (Kevin Loersch). and her ' lovely" but rather strange daughter (Paula Heyer), the famous doctor (Dave Koester), the fearless police officer (Tim Kassulke) and of courst the heroine (Laurie Steeby). This group did a fine job of entertaining. There was also a grand finale performed by the students. The act was very well p•1t together.

As the next group was setting up, we were introducted to Paschley Westhall (Tutor Pasch) who was also infatuated with the most beautiful of all Southern Belles.

Scarlett O'Hillview. Paschley had a few interesting stories about some of the bosses on the plantation WelL Scarlett O'Hillview could not choose between Rhett and Paschley for her escort to go to the big doings. so they left her. Her escorts had "Gone With The \V'tnd" At this time the next group was ready.

This group is made up of pastors and teachers from the Milwaukee area (also from Michigan and Minnesota). They are called the PTO which is the Pastor-Teacher Organization. Members of this group are: Phil and Vicki Boileau, Lynette Blievernicht, Ric and Laura Gibson, Rod Pude ll, Dan Simons, Lyle StrehJer, and Caro l Wyncoop. They performed a number of popular songs done by Pat Benatar, Oak Ridge Boys. and Elvis to name just a few.

They also sang a few religious songs. one of which was "Jesus Loves Me" with a different accompamrnent.

This group has performed for high schools and one of their objectives in performing the songs they perform is to try to break the stereotyping of pastors and teachers. As future teachers we can't help but feel a little bit stereotyped by others.

This group also likes to encourage students to at least think about being a pastor or teacher. This is a very talented group and one I am sure the whole campus family enjoyed WelL that was the Spring Banquet in a nutshell. Thanks again to everyone who made the banquet a success.

EDITORIAL

by Miriam Zimmermann Editor-in-Chief There are a number of topics I wish to pursue in this editorial First of all to the Seniors, the Messenger would like to congratulate them in advance for achieving the requirements necessary to earn a Bachelor of Science Degree. Upon the hour of graduation, these Seniors can proudly accept a diploma that will represent many hours of hard study. May these Seniors thank God for enabling them to fulfill their educations and may God bless them in their future calJings.

To the entire student body of DMLC, I would like to engage in some hearty advertising. Even though it is becoming more and more a part of the Messenger, I can always see room for an extension of enthusiasm. Why not increase your journalism or graphic arts skills? The Messenger has room for columnists, cartoonists, reporters, proofreaders, and you just name your talent and we'll find room. Think about it as you finish reading this Messenger. Is this a publication you would like to support with your talent? Uyou are at all interested, let me know.

I would also like those at DMLC to recognize the group of students who have already enthusiasticaJly spent the year working on the Messenger. It takes a reliable staff to prepare a paper every month. Many people do not realize what goes into a publication such as this one. I would like to extend my thanks and appreciation to every person (students, advisor, and secretary alike) who has worked to make this newspaper what it is today. I couldn't have done the job myself. Thanks to a reliable crew we worked together and that's what counts.

But we made mistakes. Sometimes it takes mistakes to learn and that's where a good deal of my learning initiated Many of us have learned much about the mechanics of a newspaper as well as the ethics of a newspaper. But because I have had so much fun (not making mistakes though), I have decided to pursue the position of Editor-in-Chief again next year. That way I can correct last year's mistakes (and probably make new ones).

In closing this final edition, I would like to encourage anyone to voice their suggestions to me regarding the Messenger. Write your ideas down during the summer as you read your hometown newspaper with the Messenger in mind In between ideas, have a great summer and think about the DMLC Messenger next fall

T HE AUGUSTAN AGE

by Wesley Steinberg Staff Writer The year is 31 B.C. Octavian's forces have crushed those of Antony and Cleopatra at Actium. A year later, Octavian entered Alexandria as master of the Mediterranean world Thus began the reign of one of the most in0uential rulers Rome has ever produced He was later named Augustus and his administration was marked by nearly two centuries of peace and prosperity during which classical culture developed and spread throughout the Empire.

The Augustan Age. as Octavian's reign later came to be called, WJS the climax of Roman creative genius. Greek culture had a definite influence on Roman creativity, it is true, but the Romans succeeded in taking up where the Greeks left off, moving a step beyond, as it were. Roman temples rose higher than those of the Greeks and conveyed a feeling that was less serene and more dynamic. more forcefuJ, reflecting the greatness that was Rome's at the height of her glory.

The greatest cultural ascendancy in Augustan Rome was the emergence of Latin literature, of which Augustus could claim some credil Augustus was familiar with Greek only a little. and wrote all of his speeches and important conversations in Latin. which he had translated into Greek.

While he regarded his patronage of literature a tedious duty, he did take an active interest in encouraging young poets and historians to utilize their talent for the greater glory of Rome. This was accomplished through many forms and varying poetic styles.

Cornelius Gallus - once offered a high promotion by Augustus for his historical works - was famous for his pit!:i.oral and love poetry. Propertius also wrote love poetry. communicating his feelings of the world around him to his readers. Horace's work differs from Propertius· only in that he

wrote in varying fields: from satire to literary criticism; from love poetry to patriotic odes celebrating the conquests of Augustus - all had the personal mark of Horace stamped on them.

As personality was an important aspect in Horace's writings, so it was with the work of another writer, one who now begins to emerge from the shadows to finally take his place among Rome's most respected authors. Virgil began (as did his peers) with pastoral verse in the fashion of the day, moving on to a didactic, or formaL type of poetry. After a time, Virgil's writings began to veer more and more toward the mythological side, naturally aspiring to write an epic, which was accounted the noblest poetic form. The question was what was to be the subject At first, Virgil thought of writing about the military exploits of Augustus. Since Augustus hadn't pressed the matter, or indeed to have shown the slightest interest, Virgil moved on to a more congenial theme.

Like its Homeric counterpart (the Odyssey), Virgil's completed epic. the Aeneid, was cast in the fonn of Homer and dealt with Aeneas' voyages and experiences during the Trojan War. While it does read as if Virgil copied Homer at every turn, it should be noted that there were definite differences between them. One of them dealt with Virgil's hero, Aeneas. Unlike Homer's Odysseus, Aeneas was the legendary founder of Rome, and the story of his adventures is shot through with patriotic prophecies concerning the future greatness of the state he was to found.

Other differences can be seen in the text itself. and although Greek style is at times e.xpressed in Virgil's work, it does manage to convey the Roman standard of excellence which poets like Virgil employed in their writings. By that standard Rome made a cuJtural name for herself in the world around her.

SPECIAL OLYMPICS EMPHASIS SPECIAL . . . the special olympics this afternoon were such an inspiration to me. I was almost in tears a number of times as I watched these children and adults whose minds and bodies don't aJways work the way we think a person's mind or body sbouJd work. It was so wonderful to see the complete effort and determination they put into everything they did One event in particular struck home for me. The contestants had to run around the gym eight times. Now quite sure I couJd have sprinted the entire eight laps and not been overly tired But these kids barely got half way through and you could tell they were realJy hurting. But I was so very proud because not a single one of them quit They kept pushing themselves through the pain and on to the finish line!

Another special happening I observed took place during the high jump. The field was narrowed down to only two contestants, a boy and a girl Each had three jumps left to clear the bar at the height it was set al The boy took his three jumps first but missed each attempt. The girl then had her three chances needing only to clear the bar once to win. What was so beautiful is that the boy who had just been eliminated was

rm

completely caught up in cheering this girL his opposition, on to victory. And it wasn't just a show. He sincerely wanted her to do wen, even if it meant him taking second place. ... throughout the entire two and a half hours, these children and adults did nothing but encourage, praise. and love each other.

If there were any questions left in my mind as to why God aJlows these children to be born with "defects," they were all sent fleeing by the things I observed today. Such staunch eagerness and determination to win, and yet at the same time, a joy and happiness over the success of your competition. What a lesson these so-called underpriviJeged people hold for us, if only we're wiJling to open our eyes and see what they have to offer. We must always be thankful to God that he has blessed us with healthy minds and bodies. But we must also remember that each person has something special to offer us, if only we'll take the time to look.

Handicapped people they're called ... but in seeing their firm grasp on what love really is, maybe its us, the healthy ones, who are indeed handicapped.

A GlANCE AT SPORTS THE WILD(E) WORLD OF SPORTS

A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF THE SPRING SPORTS SCENE

by Paul Wilde Sports Editor Due to lack of space, I will briefly skim over the highlights of the spring sports. In genera~ the teams are doing quite wet I. First let's take a look at women's sports.

The women's softball team is having another good season, currently boasting a 7-3 record The squad again advances to the state tournament (to be held in New Ulm), as the No. 6 seed, and will battle Gustavus in the first round. Their game results ( all double-headers) so far show a split with Gustavus, a sweep of both St. Theresa's and Carleton, a pair of setbacks to St Mary's, and a pair of conquests at St. Olaf. The Lancerette hurlers this year are Kate Martin, who has accumulated a3-l record. lshe Wallen, and Tammy Speidel. Other players seeing lots of playing time are

Carrie Waldschmidt, Lygia Behrman, Beth Valleskey, Joan Solofra, Beth Kemnltz, Beth Schoppe, Wendy Ristow, and Tina Mohr.

The women's track team has progressed very nicely this year, although their team results may not reflect it. The Lancerettes regularly have run against tough, scholar• ship giving schools. so the meet results aren't really a great ruler by which to measure the achievements of the team.

Several records have been smashed Sally Jacob (the 200 meter dash), Amy Pappenfuss (shot put). Janice Kant (400 meters), and the two-mile relay team of Amy Torgerson, Jeanne Matuszak, Chris Melso, and Janice Kant. Personal records have been consistently broken, which shows the improvement the club has made.

The team meet results have been: first out of three teams ( the first women's track team win ever), third out of three, second out of seven, 12th out or 16, and third out of four.

Coach Wade also remarked that this year's squad is very fun to work with because of their great attitude and team unity.

The Lancerette tennis team has been donning their new tennis uniforms in fine fashion this year. Despite the disadvantage of being the first women's tennis team. they have stroked their way to a 2-2 record. The netters opened the year poorly, suffering successive setbacks to Southwest State and St. Mary's, but have come back strong with consecutive wins against Viterbo and Bethany. In a three-team invitational at St. Benedict's, Mary McCain, as well as the doubles team of Lisa Albrecht and Pat Lemke, won two matches before dropping out or competition. Coach Shilling has been making use of all twelve team members during matches. so everyone is gaining valuable experience.

Now let's shift our attention to the men·s sports. After a season-opening setback to Willmar, the men's tennis team has recovered magnificently, racking up seven consecutive triumphs to become 7-1 In chronological order, St. Paul Bible, North Central, Concordia-St. Paul. NorthwesternRoseville, Viterbo, Pillsbury, and Concordia have been felled by the mighty spear ( er, racquets) or the Lancers. Nearly everyone has seen action, but the top players have been (from top to bottom) Paul Wilde, Don Kolander, Bob Favorite, John

Sonntag, and Pete Schloesser. Wilde (8· 0), Boerneke (7-0), and Schloesser ( 4-0) are all undefeated in singles at the time of this writing.

The baseball team has compiled a glos5Y 9-3 record. Their games (all twin bills) have turned out as follows: two wins against North Central; splits with Pillsbury, Concordia, and Northwestern-Roseville; and a pair of triumphs against both North Central and St. Paul Bible. The pitching staff, which includes Bryan Von Deylen, Paul Tbiesfeldt, Greg Stam, Mike Schaefer, Eric Ziel. and Dave Leeker, has done an excellent job this year. Von Deylen currently sports a 3-0 record (which includes a I· hitter and a 2-hitter); Stam is 2-0 with a fine 1.75 earned run average; Thiesfeldl has hurled his way to an excellent 1.47 ERA, despite the appearances of his mediocre 1-2 record The rest of the regulars have been: Ziel, Dale Oechler, Scott Herrewlg, Dave Hartwig, Tim Pieper, and Dave Leeker.

Steve Barnes is a substitute who sees a lot of playing time.

The men's golf team has had four matches thus far. They are 2-l in duals, having outclubbed Concordia and Viterbo. but having lost to NorthwesternWatertown. The top golfers, in order, have been Tim Torgerson, John Uekert, Jim Ross, Tim Gustafson, and Joel Raasch.

Jerry learner and Bob Faust complete the roster. Torgerson has the best average so far.

A Summary of DMLCs 1981-82 Inter-

Ashenmacher, Tim Boemeke, Kevin

The 1981-'82 school year has brought

scholastic Sports

with it many thrilling moments and accomplishments.

DMLC interscholastic teams, in general, had a good year. Many goals were reached (both personal and team), and some records were broken. But win or lose, sports build character: the responsibility of showing up and putting forth a good effort at practice day in and day out, whether you feel like it or not; the selfdiscipline needed to control your temper when things aren't going well, or to practice hard even when nobody else is around; the will and deter mination to improve and make the most out of the talents God has given you, to keep on trying when all looks hopeless, or to keep on running and hustling even when you feel like you can't take another step. Sports can develop these character traits, as well as many others.

These character traits carry over into other facets of life, including the special calling God has given us here at DMLC. So, both including and excluding the won-lost column, much was accomplished in DMLC sports 1981-'82.

In closing, I would like to say thank you to all of you who faithfully read my column. I hope you enjoyed my writing. I tried my best to do a good job for you. I would also like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to all those coaches, managers. and student body members who aided me in getting information. My best wishes go out to all the seniors. I wish everyone students, faculty, or otherwise - a very blessed summer, and I hope to see you all back here up on the hill again next year. God bless you all

DEAR DANA I received this comment in response to the letter in the last issue of the Messenger from "Library Lover." The following comment from another library lover speaks for itself and reflects a healthy attitude:

Perhaps "LL." could benefit from having a little fun on weekend nights. If not, the practice rooms are open during that time.

DFARDANA,

DFARDANA,

As a DMLC Library student employee, I'd like to reply to the letter that appeared in your column concerning library hours.

Prof. Jacobson's explanation about operating costs is very sensible. Naturally, when hundreds of students share the library, its hours can't be ideal ror all. I think the library's current policies are very fair and generous. It is open 47 1-2 hours during the school week. and nearly 12 hours on weekends. Students are also free to take regular and reserve materials out to use during hours it is closed I wonder if ''Library Lover" has considered the student librarian's work schedule. I am not complaining because I love my work, but working 2-3 school nights plus Saturdays and Sundays keeps us busy, and we like to relax on weekends. too.

Also A Library Lover

I'm writing this letter in response to the "inquisitive fan" in one of your previous issues. I think he should have signed it the "jealous fan" instead, but this isn't the "main issue" here. The main issue is the problem that these certain people think the pom-pon girls are like cheerleaders, basketball players, or football players. They aren't.

About three years ago pom-pon girls just performed at certain games. Gradually they've gotten so that they perform at almost all home games. This is because they've put more time into practicing for routines. In fact about five hours per routine.

Pom-pon girls put forth their own time. pay for their own uniforms, collect tickets for games. and add to the "pep'' and fun that should be at sporting events. Why dQ some people have to look at the squad as if they

owned or weren't appreciative of them.

P.F.P.P.G.

Dear P.F.P:P.G., I understand your feelings of being owned or pressured by fans to perform. However, I cannot sympathize with such feelings. Over the past several years, the pom-pon squad has grown in popularity, the routines have become more complex and enjoyable, and the squad performs more frequently. Such a rapid evolution was caused by supportive fans and the pom-pon girls themselves.

Indeed, all sixteen girls put many hours work into the routines and buy their own uniforms. Yet, conversely, those sixteen girls have numerous opportunities to perform in public, using their abilities to please fans and gain organizational and personal popularity. Is the effort behind the rewards disproportionate?

Possibly the captains exercised poor judgment in allowing a vote to decide whether or not the girls should perform. The decision not to perform at the event in

question was very untimely. Many fans students and faculty - wondered where the school loyalties and priorities were focused It is apparent that the pom-pon squad shirked its self-imposed responsibility.

GLIMPSES THROUGH CHILDREN'S EYES This month, the Messenger went to a different grade school to obtain material for Glimpses Through ChUdren's Eyes.

Because Mother's Day is just around the comer, the First and Second Graders of Bethlehem Lutheran School in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin consented to write on that very topic. The Messenger would like to thank each student who wrote these essays on their mothers.

I need a mother to feed me and to help me with things and make my lunch and God made her.

My mother and I go shopping together and my mother helps me to read and gets my things for school, and plant the seed and water the plants.

MYSTERY PICTURE The Messenger would like to congratu· late all the people who attempted to guess the last Mystery Picture. These students have really shown their creativity and imagination. Some of the answers were a trumpet vatve, the checker's clicker in the cafeteria, a piano or organ key, a typewriter carriage. and part of the weight machine.

Unfortunately all of these answers were incorrect!!! The correct answer was that the picture was of one of the handles to the doors of the practice rooms in the Music Hall In case you think this picture was unfair, someone did correctly identify it but could not qualify for a Round Table Certificate. However, since there are two left . . . .

Thanks to all of you who have been entering the contest throughout the year.

Maybe next year the Messenger will continue with the Mystery Picture, or try something else. Any suggestions???
