Clubs Offer Fun for All

College is more than homework and tests! With the beginning of the new school year, students of DMLC will once again have the opportunity to spend many enjoyable hours participating in the organizations of their choice. To acquaint both the 'new and old' in the various campus activities, the Messeoger presents a short insight into their functions and purposes. STUDENT

GOVERNMENT The main co-ordinating body of all student activities for DMLC is the Collegiate Council. The Council is composed of four elected representatives from each class. They meet weekly to discuss and organize campus functions such as the Snow Carnival, Mission Fair, Arbor Day, Activities Banquet, and others. Making the student life at DMLC run smoothly and enjoyably throughout the year, is a great service to the school rendered by this governing body. Besides Collegiate Council, the Student Union Board also functions as a part of campus gevernment. With two representatives from each class present at Its meetings, the board controls activities within, and makes all important decisions concerning Luther Memorial Union. PUBLICATIONS The student newspaper, The

Messenger, and the campus yearbook, the Excelsior, are the two DMLC publications. The Messenger is published monthly and covers all aspects of college life. The staff's aim is to produce the best possible paper to inform the students, faculty, alumni, and others about DMLC. Interested help is always needed and welcomed on the staff. The Excelsior staff seeks, through writing and pictures, to compose a panoramic view of the year's activities. It attempts to offer to it members practice and knowledge of journalistic techniques important to the composition of a first class publication. Assistance on the staff is also always needed and appreciated. CHORALIERS Two singing groups of outstanding quality and direction are the Aeolians and Marluts. The former is composed of college women and the Marluts, college men. These singing groups meet weekly to learn music for Quistmas caroling (followed by a joint party), and for two concerts during the school year. Their selections are secular, both classic and popular. SPORTS Within the sports medium, DMLC offers to the student the Pep and 'L'clubs. For those with energy and spirit, the pep club promises much fun and action.

Dedicated to the support of the college athletic teams, it provides pep rallies, offers refreshment service, and organizes all Homecoming activities. The 'L' Club is comprised of letter winners within the student body. It sponsors an annual volley ball tournament for area churches, sells schoolemblem T-shirts, jackets, and sweaters, and offers canteen service at various athletic events. Students are encouraged to join these organizations as a means of expressing their support to athletics. ARTS For the student who wishes something more classic in design, there is the art club, an informal club dedicated to increasing knowledge on various artists, their lives and their works, on art periods, and art media; they sponsor regular bi-monthly meetings. Demonstrations and lectures are often presented, and plans for the club-sponsored Children's Art Fair and Campus Art Fair are begun early. One highlight of the club's activities is an art trip to the Minneapolis Institute of Art in early spring. The arts offer a means of expression for these interested in dramatics. The DMLC Drama Club is an active organization on campus, (Continued on page 2)
