Fall Activity Accents Autumn Perfect fall weather highlighted this year's College Fall Activity held on Sunday evening, September 22. ThiB event was sponsored by the Collegiate Council, who really put a lot of work into serving the meal and planning the games.

The profs, with their famllles, joined the student body to a supper of Sloppy Joes, baked beans, macaroni salad, ~re1iBhes, and brownies, all in the beauty of Luther Hollow.

Games followed the supper, with the sophomores winning the first event, the Spoon and String game; although the seniors did give them quite a run for their money.

The juniors took the most victories in the classparticipation events, such as Pass-the-Orange under the Neck, building a human pyramid, and bobbing for apples in which they beat the

ThiB ts the first of what will be a series of articles, appearing in the Messenger concerning Collegiate Councll. It iBhoped that thiB and succeeding articles will provide information about activities during the year. ' Collegiate Council Is a representative student organization whose membership is determined by general elections held by the council. The results of those elections held thiB fall are the following: Freshman representatives, Peggy Skovstad, Kathy Scherzer, Mark Steiner, Paul Bauer; Sophomore representatives: Pam Goelake, Laura Nltz, Dale Pautz, Peter Hagen: Junior representatives, Colleen LeiBten, Laura Rick, Richard Bakken, Paul Kassulke.

Special elections were also held to fill vacancies from Isst spring's elections. The new senior girl representative iB Naomi Welke, the new treasurer iB Kathy Scinletze, and the new vice president iB Jason Nelson. These people compose the Collegiate Counell. They do the work on the projects, committees, and activities that the counell sponsors and voice the suggestions and crltlciBms of the people they represent.

One of the first projects the counell undertakes iB the production of the Student Directory, a listing of the names and addresses of all the students and faculty members on campus.

In addition to projects like thiB, It does many things as committees. Immediately thiB fall, Council committees hosted and made the accommodating arrangements for the annual meeting of the DMLC Ladies Awdllary which was held on our campus on October 9.

The council mission committee has already begun Its organization and coordination of the college mission program which iBhighlighted by MIssion Falr. ThiB year's MiBslon Fair iBto be held on November 11and promlses to be interesting and useful.

The food committee serves as a llalson between the students and the food service. As a result of thiB committee's operation, the Sunday dinner was moved ahead one half hour to ellmlnate the long waiting line after church services. True, It's not earihshaking, but It's an improvement.

Other Council committees are responsible for bus transportation to and from church services during cold weather, the ordering and showing of on-campus movies, providing ushers at school events, setting up the year's calendar of activities and distributing the monthly calendars, and organizing events like Winter Carnival, Spring Banquet and other activities. There are many other things Council does in the interest of student life outside the clsssroom.

Many times the things Council does do not seem to be very important things for a college student government to be doing, but they would probably be missed if they weren't done. The council is in no way looking for praise or sympathy, but they want students to know that they are working in their interest and would like their suggestions, support, and confidence. They 'are alDious far new Ideas and new ways to serve the campus family. ' Collegiate Council iBnot a puppet of the Administration, nor is it to be solely a voice of student discontent and dlssstiBfaction. In fact, we are fortunate on thiB campus because we really don't have to think in these terms. We have something spectal on top of this hill and Collegiate Councll would like to help keep It that way.

Other individual games were played. Julie Haase and Steve Schultz won the newspaper race, and Bill Treder and Deb Steillck took the wainut race.

The Collegiate Coundil deserves a big thank-you for working so hard to make the Fall Activity what It was.

Students Enjoy Organ Recital On Thursday, October 3, MIas Judith Kresnicka proved that students aren't the only ones who have to practice the organ.

MIas Kresnlcka presented an organ recital that evening in the chape!-auditorlum.

MIas Kresnlcka performed various compositions by J. S. Bach, M. Reger, and J. Langlais.

Included In her program was a piece written by a former DMLC organ and plano instructor, Mrs. L. Zauter Jannusch.

Entitled Lamentation, Litany, and Laud it depicted the Christian soul in time of trouble.

The recital was attended by some one hundred people and their applause proved it was enjoyed by all.

Mondays are not my best days and this last Monday wasn't any different. With the ring of the eight o'clock bell I discovered that, yes, I did have a first-hour class. The bell brought back all the borrors of the night before. I thought my alarm clock was buzzing at 2am.,so I turned It off, but It was the fire horn, and, of course,lt continued to blare in my ear. After what would have been a fatally long period of time, I finally awoke to the reality that It was indeed a fire drlll (or so I hoped). ThiB was just the finale for a beautiful weekend.

Friday afternoon I had a test that Prof. Sievert had warned us about days in advance, but I had forgotten to write It on my calendar. Friday night when I arrived back in the dorm at 2:30 am., (Saturday morning), Idiscovered that there had been a dorm check! I also found my toothlrush and toothpaste still out on my desk. I soon reallzed why my date had acted so strangely. Saturday I arose and found that It was raining, so I decided to sleep some more. I awoke at 12:30, too late for brunch. Oh, well, I wasn't hungry anyway. Sunday night Ifound Ihad thIa Messenger article due. I couldn't find the right people to interview at that late date: so here I sit _ procrastinating again and wishing, "if Icould only do thiB weekend over." It's so much easier to see things clearly after they've happened.

Inkeeping with the DMLC Meslenger'l polley of publishing the ''news'' days after It's happened, I've decided to name my column HINDsight. Thus, I hope to share with my friends, some reflective vision. NOW, before any of the Messenger peraonnel, advisor, or editor gets too upset - I intend to defend, at all costa, thIa newspaper!

What kind of Meslenger reader are you? Yes, you 1 Are you one that skims the headUnes looking for some acilvity you mis8ed to see that you really dldo't miss anything? Or do you pluck It out of your mailbox, and, finding that It isn't a letter from your boyfriend or girlfriend, do you place It in the circular me for safekeeping and possible future use? Or maybe you're one that leaves It in the SU for some unfortunate prep or vIaItor to read. Do you wallpaper your room, llne your drawerl, use It for training your puppy, mall packages using the paper for packing? Or are you one of thoae few who actually read It? I'm sure most of you read articles in the paper, and the above only applles to a few. I know also that most of you at least read some of the articles that you know were written by your friends, to see whether they misspelled any words. Having completed that, then you read the humorous articles to cheer you while you wait in the line for your dinner, Right???

Well, I know in the past many have been disappointed because the paper Is often dealing with old news. Lots of people read the paper besides the studenta and so we have to include some things that have .already passed by. This column isn't going to deal with news at all. Ijust hope to share some Ideas with you over the upcomIng year - not always serious and not always humorous. If you have any suggestions for topics that might be appropriate in HINDsIght, feel free to address them to Box 935.

By the way, give the Meillellger a chance: we're working on Iota of new Ideas this year. Have a good year!

The Ghosts Are Coming The DMLC Drama Club haunts the stage again on October 3l8t with the dellghtful comedy farce entitled BlIthe Spirit. LaSt year on Halloween two serious Gothic tales were Jresented In which the audience could become involved In figuring out ''whodunnit'' In the dramatic plot of The Spiral Staircase and could listen to the true accounts the wives of Henry VITI told concerning their bloody histories In Ladies of the Tower.

This year the audience is In for a treat because there will be no tense moments wondering when the murderer will emerge from the dumb waiter to sling the beautiful young heroine from her lover or no tiresome

moments of boring dialogue In the beginning waiting for the gruesome events of real excitement to begin or no embarrassing mnments of finding oneself upon his neighbor's lap after being terror-stricken by a loud rifle shot In the dark. There will be no terror arising from the blithe spirits In this year's ghost tale. .

ThIs year you' will be entertained by a lively cast of seven who are out to prove ghosts can do more than make you scared. Some are good for a lot of laughs! Wouldn't you consider it a bit humorous to hear someone conversing with an Invisible ghost, Invisible to everyone In the room but that one person that is? Poor

Teaching Trials I ~po8e many of you under-ciassmen and fourth quarter SeniorS wonder what it Is like to practice teach. To satisfy your curiosity I,will relate to you the highlights of a day of practice teaching.

MORNING

8:00 I arrive at school feeling pretty good because I'll only be teaching half of the clasaes today.

8:05 I get a rude awakening, my supervisor calls In sick. I have to go it alone.

8:06 The Kid begins to panic.

8:08 Wbat am I doinghere In the first place !

8:09 Maybe I should make a break for it.

8:15 Thirty.four beady little eyes are sizing up the lamb for slaughter (By the way Iam the lamb.)

8:25 The bell rings! It's 100late to eacape. Ifeel sick. I wish I had my Pepto-Blsmol! _.c-o-...8J!O_~~~~~~ud~t&".oes to the plan~~c;h, 10:30 Numb.flngered student finishes the hymn. (The piano just isn't his Instrument.)

10:«5 The 5th and 6th graders have to take a language test. ll:OO I realize I gave the 5th grade the 6th grade test and vice versa.

12:00 TIme to eat our sack lunches.

AFTERNOON 12:01 My milk is sour. Eech!

12:02 A boy in front of me Is eating a Hostess TwInkle.

I wish I had his TwInkle.

12:03 Man, that TwInkle looks good.

12:05 The pig; he ate It and didn't even offer me a bite.

12:10 The girl eating spaghetti sandwiciles just vomited all over the girl In front of her. The girl 12:12 starts crying.

1:15 I start crying. I have to clean it up. .

1:17 TIme for lIth;Irade science.

1:18 An sth-grade boy asks me to e:q>lain EInstein's 1:19 Theory of Relativity.

1:20 Howam I going to get out of this OIIe? 1:2l Think fast, future teacher.

1:21 I've gotlt! ''Take out your history books; science class Is aver.

2:00 A new W"1SCOIISin Synod school record has just been set for the shortest science class.

2:01 I just caught a girl passing notes. I begin to read It.It says she IsIn love with the practice teacher .

I tum a stunning shade of red. I wish I wouldn't have read the note. .

2:15 TIme for phy-ed.

2:17 I just ripped my pants demonstrating a deepknee bend. .

2:18 I feel ridiculous walking around with my suit coat tied around my watst., At least the rip Is Covered.

TIme for art class. Let's see what shall we do for 2:«5 art today. Lastweek I had the kids go outside, lie In the snow and make angels. I guess we can't do It two weeks In a row.

2:t6 I've got ItI We will finger paint.

I just went out of the room for a drink.

2:50 2:52 I came hack Into the room and fOWldthat some wise guy finger painted the chalk board.

2:53 It may be pretty, but it Issurely bard to write 011.

The final bell of the day rings. School is aver.

3:25 4:00 What an experience I 4:05 I've finally atopped 1IbakiDg. I start to write a leUer to Mom, telling her how it dIdo't faze me a bit, md describe how the old IDIIIter bandled each situatIIID wiIb a coolbead. I betlbe WIIII'tbelieve me. She knows me 100 well.

Charles (Bruce Noah) doesn't know what to do when his former beloved Elvira (Mary Lawrenz) enters the room making catty remarks that only he can hear. As Charles vehemently snaps back retorts to Elvira, his wife, Ruth, (Bonnie Schuimelster) becomes infuriated because she thinks the Insults are meant for her.

Dr. and Mrs. Bradman (Leo Freese and Janlne Hildebrant) join In on the fun by observing the shenanigans and assist with a mock seance which only conjures up more trouble but laughs as well.

The zaniest character Is a nutty Russian medium named Madame Arcati (Kathy Juroff) who insists her spells and incantations are serious business.

Her table rising, spirit calling, and crystal ball reading antics add to the comic pleasure the play lends the audience. The lines are very good and the characters quite amusing. Even the maid Edith (Patti Jackson) with her Cockney "Yes mum's" will provide the audience with a new taste In Halloween enjoyment.

Donna Dahlke is using her talents In a different way this year. Previously active as an actress In Ladies of the Tower and The MIracle Worker, she Is now director. BlIthe Spirit, her first endeavor, presents an interesting challenge for Donna since its three acts are full of special effects and areas In which her creative abilities can be utilized.

.. ····'Deb.Adaocheck-ia-Donna' ...... . right hand helper as producer of

the play. Deb acted In The Miracle Worker last year and is a very active DMLC student both In scholastic achievements and in extra-curricular activities. She may be small but she moves fast-the perfect girl to see that things run smoothly.

If you're not thrilled about watching a midnight horror movie on Halloween night, why not come to the auditorium to get a few laughs from the comedy Blithe Spirit? You could do both because after the play you still have plenty of time to get back to your room and study as well as tum on the TV for a midnight Frankenstein thriller.

Music may hath charms to soothe the savage beast but Blithe Spirit is not a musical and won't do that. The muslcal will come later this spring, so for now you'll have to content yourself . with a comedy.

Everyone knows that knocking ,off the' books at least once a school year and getting out of the dorms is good for the health.

All are cordially invited.

We Really Have Everything Have you ever heard the statement, "If you can't have the best of everything, make the best of everything you have?"

This is the proverb a certsln writer would like to dedicate to this ninetieth school year of DMLC. By this time many of our freshmen are familiar with college life and our campus.

Just by looking around, it is clearly evident that we are bleased with Ilbeautiful campua and facilities ..

Also by this time some of the

new students may have run out of activities. ThIs is sometimes a problem In new surroundings.

Some of you may refer to the above proverb and ssy, "DMLC sure doesn't have everything."

No, we don't have all the "extras" of public universities such as a swimming pool, fine arts buildings, golf courses, but a golf course Is available to play 011; We do have a lot of other things such as a beautiful library, student union. tennis courts, and a developing football field. And we all, can.

work together as a campus family to ''make the best of everything."

However, DMLC has one other extra which no school can ever buy; and that Is. fellowship II. faith with one another. We have chapel twice a day to st-engthen this fellowship. We can talk to one another freely knowing we belleve as one.

So no matter what extras other schools have, we at DMLC have the "best of everything" by haviDI that fellowship II. faith.

Homecoming Proves It ...

"We wanted to make this year's homecoming the best ever here at DMLC, and we wanted to prove to New UIm that the spirit on the hlll was not dead. I feel that we have accomplished both of these goals this years."

This Is how pep club president Dave SeJlnow summed up his opinion of Homecoming, 1974.

After weeks of planning and 'P're-pa'E'at\on,liThe Fabulous

FIftIes" were once again 'rocking' the campus, creating enthusiasm, spirit, pleasure, and pride for all.

Kicklng off the week's activities was a 'Greaser Day' on Tuesday, Oct. 1. A visitor to DMLCthat day probably had to check hiscalendar to make sure he hadn't stepped Into a time tunnel. Girls donned their long flared skirts, letter sweaters, bobby socks and ssddle shoes while their haIr went up Into curlypony talIs. Wads of bubble gun smacked from behind the reddest of Ups. For the guys, it was the perfect occasion to wear grubby rolled up jeans, TÂŤUrts, and

loafers to classes. A few of the ellte sported the originalieather jackets and 'shades'. And of course, the standard haIrstyle was 'greased' -. slicked straight back - the wetter, the better.

Upon popular vote by the entire student body, Linda Proeber was selected as 'MIss Teen Angel', and 'Mr. Greaser' honors went to Jack Fritzler.

A very spirited, exuberant student body and faculty

second entry. Various school clubs were represented. Even the faculty took a hand at getting together a 'SO's' rock band on the back of a flat truck.

The parade was led by the DMLC marching band, pompon girls, drill team, and twirlers, down Minnesota Ave. and Highland Ave. to the cam s.

ceremonies, President Conrad Frey expressed thanks to all who helped in fulfilling Prof.

Trapp's long-time dream.

Entertainment was provided by the twirlers, drill team and pom=pon- girls - all accompanied by the Lancer pep band.

Not even the steady raInfall and thunder showers could

gathered Friday night for a pep

rally In the gym. To keep the fervor high, classes competed against each other In a yelling

"Never say die, Lancers" Is how they put it when DMLC fell behind in the scoring.

liB traditional, Coach Gorsline paid irlbute to the Lancer foothall team. He outlined some of the goals the team had set up for the Northwestern clash, and expressed his personal aatisfaction that most of these goals had been achieved. Optimism and pride were reflected as he introduced the individual players on the squad.

CUmuing the entertainment portion of the banquet, President Dave Sellnow and Kathy Covach, secretarytreasurer of pep club, made the . presentation of the awards to the individual and class winners in the week's competition. They also expressed their thanks to all who helped make this HomeCOming a marvellous remembrance for all.

score was set up when they blocked Orv Breitkreitz's punt and recovered it on the Lancer's 17-yardline. The Trojans, using five consecutive running plays, moved the 17yards and put the first points on the board.

The Lancers failed to move the ball on the next series and punted. Northwestern moved from near midfield to the lAither 8-yard line on a pass from Schwartz to Connell. The same pair teamed up for a seven-yard' scoring play with seven seconds left in the first half. Both of Northwestern's kicks for the extra points were successful.

The Lancers put together their only successful drive in the third quarter, marching 60 .yards in ten plays. Steve Hermann, Paul Schultz, and Jay Schwall alternated carrying the ball, and Tom Hunter completed two passes to Eric Troge to put the Lancers

on the board. Schwall swept .right end for the two-point conversion, making the score 14-8with 9:27 left in the third period. _ Northwestern took the following kick off and drove down to the Lancer's two-yard line. There on fourth and goal Dale Pautz recovered a Trojan fumble, keeping the Lancers in the game.

TwIce in the final period the Lancers recovered fumbles inside Trojan territory, but both times Lather's offense could not come up with the big play. With 1:45 left in the game the Lancers had fourth and one on the Trojan l~yard line, but the Lancers took too long in the huddle, and were assessed a five-yard penalty. The fourth down pass fell incomplete, and the Trojans took over.

Even in defeat Lancer fans could take pride in their bardfighting team that never gave up. In talking after the game, Coach Gorsline used a quote of Vince Lombardi to sum up his feelings: "We didn't lose, the clock just ran out on us."

Lancers Put Together Terrific Effort Over one thousand fans turned out for Luther's homecoming game against Northwestern in the new football bowl on the DMLC campus. With a light rain falling much of the afternoon, Northwestern stopped a couple of fourth-quarter Lancer drives and held on for a 14-8win.

ALL ABOUT WRITING POEMS I hate to write poems, You might as well know It; It's no fun for me Because I'm no poet.

Prof.

Oscar Levorson Sept. 2, .1974

Called Home Early this fall, the Lord chose to take from this life a fellow Christian, Prof, Oscar Levorson.

He was born in Lake Mills, Iowa, where he owned a farm.

DurIng his college years he attended Luther College, Decorah, Iowa.

He later served his country during World War I in France.

After returning to the States, he attended the University of Iowa for his Master's Degree. .

He came to our campus in 1922 to serve his Lord as a teacher of English and Norse.

SInce he enjoyed sports and athletics of all kinds, he also coached in this department.

He retired from teaching in 1963,and spent the last several years of his life in a nursing home in Lake Mil1B, Iowa. He died September 2, with funeral services following on September 5.

Ten of his former colleagues attended his funeral and served as honorary pallbearers.

I might as well tell you, A:l long as I'm at it, The words just won't rhyme, And the rhythm is static.

The new science-chemistry Imazes ProfeslOrs Paulsen Ind Boehlke.

God's Wonders Are Explored

I can't write 'bout people, And nature Is worse; It's hard to put anything Into a verse.

You may think I'm crazy, You might think I'm dumb; But I'll bet you're glad That this poem Is done.

Cadets Step Together The Dr. Martin Luther College drill team has just reorganized Its squad for the coming '74-75 sports season.

After recent tryouts, the group now consists of 25 members.

These spirited glrlB will be presenting the Nation's Colors prior to all home football and basketball games. They will also perform at the half time of special games throughout the year.

The unit Is comprtsed of four

gun-carriers, eight Oag-holders, and 12 marching members.

Sandy WIlkes Is the president and drill master. Vlce-jX"esldent Is Denise Lueck, and Sue Carl Is the secretary-treasurer.

This year, the DMLC drill team hopes to sponsor some fund-raising activities in order to finance the purchase of four more guns and eight Oag poles.

With new uniforms, this year's enthusiastic squad Is eager to perform for the Lancer fans.

We've come a long way since the days of the one-man science department of the 1960's.Today under the able direction of Professors Swantz, Paulsen and Boehlke the new science area of concentration has become a reality.

Already before 1970.. plans were started to introduce a new science curriculum, a concentration course to train some students to serve as resource people in science education in our Synod's schools, Having acquired this knowledge they can then better serve as science teachers in departmentalized schools or as advisory personnel In traditional classrooms. Much of the drive behind the need for a science area of concentration is practical-correct and necessary training for science instruction. Today the teaching idea for science in the schools is "hands-<ln:.. let the children

Doctor Martin Luther College opened its 1974 home foothall season at Johnson Field on September 21 with a tough loss to Bethel College from the Twin Cities.

In the first half, Bethel scored the first time they had the ball, on a sixty-yard pass play. The rest of the first half was definitely all defense, with both teams trading the ball back and forth.

In the third qusrter, Bethel put seven more points on the board, right after a questionable forward pass play.

Bethel added six more points in the fourth quarter, to make the fIna1 score 20-0_ Although the Lancers could not get a sustained drive going all afternoon, they were only ouq:ained in total yardsge 254 to '215, still they were outplayed.

pass, and returned it to the Dana 16. The Lancers offense failed to capitalize on this break, fumbling the ball back to Dana three plays later.

The Lancers tied the score in the fourth quarter on a 79-yard drive, with Jay Schwall scoring on a six-yard run. The Lancers again tried a two-point conversion, and after a five-yard Illegal procedure penalty, Schwall's run for the eJ:tra points was, in the eye of the official, inches short.

A late fourth-quarter Dana drive was stopped when Paul Bartelt recovered a Dana fumble. The clock ran out with the Lancers deep in their own territory .

Statistically, the Lancers' ground game net 249yards with Schwall rushing 25 times for III yards, and Paul Schultz gaining 104 yards in 20 attempts. Hunter completed 9 of 22 passes for 55 net yards. Orv Breitkreutz led the defense with 11 tackles, while Mike Haase had 8.

Overall, Luther outplayed Dans, but unfortunately this did not show up on the scoreboard.

Because Luther's second eJ:tra point attempt fell inches short, the Lancers had to settle for a season opener 14-14 tie with Dana' College of Blair, Nebraska.

After a scoreless first quarter, Dans scored their first touchdown on a four-yard run with 8:51 left in the first half.

The Lancers fumbled the following kickoff, and Dana recovered on Luther's 25. Five plays later Dana scored on a six-yard pass play. Both kicks for the extra point were good.

The Lancers got on the scoreboard after marching 54 yards in eleven plays, culminated with Tom Hunter's passing to Eric Troge for a 14yard touchdown play. The Lancers' two-point conversion try was successful, with Hunter again completing a pass to Troge. A Dans drive late in the first half was stopped when Tom Firle intercepted a Dana pass on Luther's 10 yard line.

Lord, there are we as how often I must disappoint You with my sllences. But there are also times when it is best to keep one's mouth shut and to be sllent.

It often shows a fine command of the Eng1ish language to say nothing at all. Sometimes we say too much, don't we? Lord, teach me how to bridle my tonglle, to keep It In check, In constant control.

The wrong word at the wrong time can hurt others, even those, and often those, who I love the most; It can deceive and mislead; turn friends agalnst each other; damage another's future; turn off the very ones that I'm trying to win; show that I don't know what I'm talking about. We find this to be true even In our own homes. In fact, this Is often where I shoot off my mouth the worst, and say things I would never say to any stranger.

Father, teach me the art of sllence. Let my love for You and others show me when It's the right time to keep quiet. AMEN

Definition Of A Teacher also by precept, Teachers may possess beauty, or grace or skill; but mostly they must possess love - a deep abiding love of, and respect for, children, indlvidually, and as a class.

They must love the young girl who has the song of a bird, the squeal of a pig, the stubbornness of a mule, the antics of a monkey, the spryness of a grasshopper, the curiosity of a cat, the slyness of a fox and the mysterious mind of a woman.

They must also cherish the young man who Is inconsiderate, bothersome and an intruding bundle of noise with the appetite of a horse, the digestion of a sword swallower, the energy of an atom bomb, the lungs of a dictator, the imagination of a Paul Bunyan, the shyness of a violet, the audacity of a steel trap and the enthusiasm of a firecracker.

Teachers must teach many th s: reading, writ ,arlth-

metlc, spelling, geography, . music, art, health, and in our case, religion. They must also manage during their six and one half hours to teach manners and morals to children whose parents have despaired of the task in their seventeen and one half hours. _ Teachers are Truth with chalk dust In their haIr, Beauty with an aching back, WisdOm searching for bubble gum, and the Hope of the future with papers to grade.

Teachers must possess many abilities. They must not mind expJaining for the tenth time the intricacies of two-place multiplication to the whole class, then explaining it a,galn to the one child who wasn't listening. They must learn to judge between encouraging and pushing a child. They must sense what decisions to make and which must be made by the child. Teachers must remain steadfast without beln in-

flexible, sympathetic without being maudlin, loving without being possessive. They must live In childhood without becoming childish; to enjoy its great joys, satisfactions, Its genuine delights, while understanding its griefs, . irritations, embarrassments and harassments.

Teachers must do all of this while worrying about how to pay the utility billa, what to have for supper, whether the baby has the chicken pox, how Mrs. Smlth w!ll react to Billy's low grades, where to get the extra money for summer school, and who took the dime from Jane's purse. .

For this, we pay them more than the grocery clerk, but less than the postman; more than the dltch-dlgger, but less than the trucker.

The most amazing thing about teachers Is that they wouldn't trade jobs with anyone . . . Th reall like to teach!

I saw, stretching to the horizon in all directions, evidences of God's goodness to man: the weather Itself; fields staggering under their burden of yet another good crop; soil denuded of Its dress and put to the plow, revealing Its loamy, black richness ready for another crop in another year.

Descending Hermann, Iwalked around the campus. Still more evidence of God's goodness met my eyes, evidence which reminded me of days gone by.

I walked behind the well-groomed homes on South HIghland Avenue, and they reminded me of all the teachers who have served Dr, Martin Luther College throughout Its 90 year history. In my time they were - and for each we had an affectionate nickname Sparky Voecks, Bull Klatt, Spike Jahnke, Stubby Bliefernicht, Sch· wap, and Pa SUndt.

I decided anniversaries are for rememberIDg yesterday" teachers. Although their names are unknown to you, the Lancers of the 70's, yet each in his way is part of DMLC today. Few may have a picture hung in some lobby, or a name engraved on some plaque, yet all contributed, with the aid and assistance of God, to make DMLC what it is. , My walk took me to the far side of the football 'bowl. As the plush green dominated the foreground, so the late Victorian, gingerbread of Old Main's steeple dominated the background. The juxtaposition reminded me that anniversaries are for· remem· bering changes the years have brought.

Itried to find the best site on campus for spotting a few of the changes which nave taken place in 90 years. The east entrance to the academic center is rather stall U011.

No. 14 reveals the near symmetry of MaIn threl! subsequent additions which, although maklng the building more utilitarian, robs it of Its simple, stralgbt, strong, elegant lines. No. 14 shows what happened to the academic center, known in an earlier age as the adminlstratlon building. The west elevation remains as originally built. The addition to the soutb side reveala the change in building design arrived at between the 30's and the 60's. No. 14 reveala an explosion In music facilities. From there, 1 saw the old music hall, for many years the campus music building.

From there, I also saw the music center, today's campus music building. No. 14 also shows the additions to Summit Hall and the boUer house, the homes on Waldhelm Drive, the additional recreation area south of Lutber Memorial Union, and, of course, the union complex itself.

Probably the most unusual" sight from No. 14 is the squat paleness of the library building sitting amongst the rich reds of all the other structures. ThIs architectural change makes one think the building came on campus only to play with the other buildings for a while but, finding the atmosphere congenial, decided to stay.

No. 14fails in one major respect: It does not reveal the major changes made in residence h;alls for women. To see those changes, Isat on the base of the entrance sign near Center Street. Ifound it difficult to Imagine Centennial did not em! less than a generation ago and Hillview and Highland are less than ten years old.

While Iwas sitting on the sign base and thinking of some of physical changes which have occurred In 90 years, I watched co-eds throwing a frizbee back and forth. Their ambition, laughter, and unabashed lightheartedness were con~gl?us, found myself vicariousiy enjoying the game and thinking of student days. I decided anniversaries are for remembering products of DMLC, young men and women who have gone out the world to serve the Lord in either the teaching ministry or some other fashion. Although Ido not know their exact number am sure they number Inthe thousanda. Their calls have taken to all parts of our country and to many parts of the world.

AnnIversartes are also for glvtug thlUlks to Him who the teachers, wrought the changes, and called the in the vineyard. Anniversaries are for remembering tbat, men swung the axes, dug the ditches, planted the trees, and !rIcks, it is God who gave them the purpose, the desire, and to !ring us where we are today. let us during this anniversary remember that it is by God's grace that we are "a city set hill," a city dedicated to carrying His Word wherever He may

"Glib" Fischer has finally cured himself of his craze for licorice. He says he learned how to get along without it on the last choir trip.

Anumber of students motored to St. James on Friday, April 15, to attend a concert rendered by the Concordia College Choir under the able direction of Mr. Munson. These boys undertook the trip in Mei1ahn Zahn's Uncoln!! All speak in superlatives of the majesty with which the choir rendered the beautiful selections.

Arthur Glende ourflewly~ected band director for the coming year has already ~btained a small amount of practice in the fine art ~f cOnducting, due to the absence of our present director, Meilahn Zahn, who has been teaching during the past week.

George Heckmann was seen reading a recent issue of the "Atlantic Monthly" which contained the following articles: "Little Women of the World," "They Mend the Heart," "Don't Get Me Wrong."

Then came the long awaited change. The boys put up our beds, watched us make them and then we were alone! It seemed so strange with only two In a room - so peaceful and serene - until I heard someone scream! You know, (I)ce (s)cream, you (s)cream, we all (s)creamfor(I)ce (s)cream and Art Schulz had arrived! We all rushed madiy for him, for the ice cream, of course.

W.Noltewas determined to get to college early. As a result, he had to sleep out on the campus for one night. Have you suffered much from bug-Itls, Schimmel?

Meilahn Zahn played the part of a chauffeur to part of the Seehusen family. On September 12he took them to Carthage, South Dakota, in his Ford. Zahn is fortunate enough to have a car that can still stand such a trip. How's the Sunshlne stste, "Paul"?

At a recent meeting, the senior class was trying -to decide what to give Prof. Trapp, their class advisor. They all got a good laugh when someone suggested a joke book (with no "com"ln it).

Les RIng really got a big head when he beard what one little boy called him. Les was just stepping out of the bus when the itttle boy hollered, "Hi, George (MIkan)."

Back In the old days, what Is now Prof. Frey', office, was

Strictly 'com! - Howard Wessel (nicknamed "Wheeze") should really be named Heloise, because it's pronounced "HelloWbeeze." (I almost laughed when I heard It.) The concert was over and the audience was slowly leaving the auditorium when this remark was uttered by Prof. Hoenecke; "The part I liked best was the intermission."

Did you hear about Meilahn Zahn '32? Did he give an organ concert? Well, maybe he did and maybe he didn't, but you'd ,scarcely expect a man to play his own wedding march. He was married.

George Heckmann, who needs no Introduction, waa chosen college "buck" for the school year, WIll Mueller (who "driveth like Jehu") has been appointed Music Hall Inspector, and Art Bade, master of music, will take his exercises In dally jaunts down to the post office.

Mellahn Zahn attempted to keep his birthday a secret, but all In vain. He recelved the usual treatment for such occasions from several of his dormitory assoclstes. We wish you happy returns of the day, Mellahn.

Nov. 10, 1974 YOU'RE ONLY 80 ONCE! What are anniversaries for? We 011 tbe MeueDger staff think they are for looking back, having a chuckle, and yet looking ahead to the future where our hopes and dreams are focused In conjunction with the Ninetieth Anniversary Conunittee we are also celebrating this occasion in a special way. The issue you have in your hands is a special twelve-page issue, put togetber especially for this evenl In looking back we have decided to dedicate this issue to our professors, who are nothing but groWlHlP DMLC students lit heart.

What was life like In tbelr day on this campus? Hopefully we have answered some of thos questions as you read through tbese pages. From pIIst Messeqers we have chosen bits and pieces o-f their college life as presented In the "Locals" and "Editorials", both regulars of the old Messeagers for many years. We have tried to choose pictures that best portrayed campus and student life at that time. Fashions and fads may change;but evident is this one ct: DMLC's sole purpose has always been workers for the church.

In connection with this issue we wish to thank many people, oremost of whom are the professors of DMLC who provided many of tbe pictures and the life represented In these pIIges. Special thanks goes to Prof. Gerald Jacobson and the library staff for their help over the past months, Mr. Lester RIng of the Graphic roduction Center, and all tbe people at MMI Graphics, the printer of the MesseDger. And as always, very special thanks to Prof. C. J. Trapp, our advisor.

We hope you enjoy reading this issue as much as we enjoyed putting It togetber.

Phi Gamma Rho, 4; Messenger Staff, 3, editor; Football, 2L; Bssketball, 1L; Athletic Board; President of Student Body.

I, George Heckmann, bequeath my Sensation cigarettes, my strong cigars, and my Nigger Hair tobacco to Prof. Klatt my ability to "fann" and judge dairy cattle to Prof. Schweppe and my "Epistles" to. the "Burow" of International Relations. ' DedIcation of Our New Recitation BuDding The dedication of our new classroom building took place on October 14and 15.In spite of lDlfavorable weather on both Sunday and Monday, a large crowd gathered for this event. At the SlDlday afternoon service about two thousand people were present. In this service the Rev. J. Gauss of Jenera, Ohio,preached In German and the Rev. A. Zich of Green Bay, Wisconsin, In English language.

Then followed the fonnal dedication of the new building by President G. E. Bergemann. The mixed chorus of our college also sang A MIghty Fortress iii Onr God, by Reuter.

On Monday afternoon the Rev. I. F. Albrecht of Fsirfax, Minnesota, spoke In the Gennan and the Rev. W. F. Sauer of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, In'the English language.

On both evenings upon special request of the brethren of the Minnesota District, Brahm's German Requiem was again rendered by the comhlned local St. Paul's church choir and the college mJxed chorus, directed by Prof: E. D. Backer.

The new classroom building, the remodeled old recitation and music building, and the boiler house were open on both days of dedication to anyone who wished to observe the Improvement recently made In our institution.

We appreciate the Interest shown us by our visitors, but above all we give thanks to HIm who has established and blessed this institution for the education and ChrIstian training of HIs workers.

Speaking of gatherings, West Hall ranks rather hllZhIn having donn parties. One feat which the girls succeeded In acquiring at a recent party was the art ofbalancing on a milk bottle.

Wonder who caught Art Schulz? I hear he was still running Sunday afternoon. In fact, he got to Mankato before he stopped. I'll be surprised if this stays In the Messenller because he censors this.

(Dear Red,l'llseeyouln the court. "Art.") The boys of the dormltory know a goodman when they see him.

That is why they unanimously elected Waldemar Nolte as Reading Room manager.

Meilahn Zahn Is still searching In vain for some Incentivewhich might be made use of In Influencing some of the students to take their practice periods on pianos .and organs.

Fire! Fire! Every one was frightened by this rather alarming cry. It was true enough! A glowing spark had fallen 'from the chimney and had Ignited the roof. By the time the conflagration had been discovered, a hole about the size of a brick had beed burned Into the roof. On this occasion Vera Hafensteln was the heroine; It was she with the help of a tin cup and a pail of water, extinguished the flames. Several residents of Hillcrest Hall were rather disappointed that their first opportunity of sliding down the fire escape was spoiled.

The score was 48-47In favor of Luther as the game-ending whistle blew, but CoachOldfieldlooked the part of dejection. It was his belief, until someone enlightened him that his team had won.His excuse for that blUnder was poor eyesight.

Les RIng must be accustomed to being awakened by an alarm clock. It certainly looked that way when, the bell ending the period having rung, he suddenly reached to tum off the alarm that wasn't there.

The inauguration of President Roosevelt was duly observed at our school. At noon on March 4 we were given the opportunity to listen to a part of the broadcast of the ceremonies In Washington.

On Sunday evening, March 5, the Phi Gamma Rho Literary Society presented an Inaugural program. The Introductory portion of the program Included sketches of the lives of ex-President Herbert Oark Hoover and President Franklln· Delano Roosevelt and two musical selections, the theme songs of Hoover's and Roosevelt's political campaigns: "CalIfornia, Here I Come" and "Happy Days Are Here Again." The program proper consisted of a dramatization of the Inaugural ceremonies. All the Important personages were there: Mr. and Mrs. Roosevelt, Mr. and Mrs. Hoover, Chief Justice Hughes, Mr. Farley (master of ceremonies), Mr. and Mrs~Garner, Mr. Curtis, and Dolly Gann. Band music, a radio announcer, and armed', guards helped to make the proceedings more vivid The program was thoroughly enjoyed by all, the only critlclsm being that It was too Short.

The In Normal girls believe with Ben Franklln that "early to bed, early to rise" Is a good motto. They, therefore, took the initiative and planned an early morning egg fry one W~dnesday. I would say with the wonderful cooking skill of these girls and goodnatured spirits of Professor Backer, the fry (?) was a success.

There Is only one question we should like to ask, "Does Bruce Bscker still like eggs?"

Althoughhe Is leaving his Alma Mater this year, hla name will continue to live as the composer of the College Song. Anyone fortunate enough to have heard, "Hail to Thee, Dear D. M. L. C.," will agree that his name Is worth remembering. He has also shown his talent at the organ and In the band. "Addle" Is the only male member of our class who does not reside In'the dormltory. This undoubtedly accounts for his tendency to come late for morning devotion. Credit Is due him, however, for having recently overcome this shortcoming. HIs courage on the gridiron won him many friends. Although respiratory treatments· were frequently necessary, he was always on the spot for the next play. In basketball he shared the joys and sorrows with the class quint.

"Addle" has a great liking for physics and enjoys whiling away time In a laboratory. A kind heart, a noble spirit, and a Powerful, square jaw, together with his alwayS being neatly dressed, gives us a good picture of the man who alphabetically lrlngs up the rear of the class. . _ ,L ' "Wass hab'n wir Reute fuer'n Stubble?"

Erich finds his greatest delight In.studying, riding the organ bench, and arguing with his teachers. His scliolastlc achievements are, Indeed, commendable.

Erich Is versatile. His Interests are many. As manager of the football team he displayed remarkable abillty, especially when strutting about with the tackling dummy on his shoulder. On the basketball floor he was known as "dead shot Sievert." HIs tall stature made It possible for him to top many a ball through the net, and as center-well, "nuf sed."

Paul has a personality that Is desired by many. He is always friendly to everyone, and he has a good word for all whom he meets and with whom he associates.

Of the various activities In which Paul participated music occupied the most prominent place. Under his able direction both the band and the Marlut SIngers have accomplished much. His virtuosity In plano and organ playing has been shown by his suecessful appearances In concerts.

In football Paul proved that a little man Is often more valuable than a larger one. For never having played football before, he did remarkably well.

Paul entered our class as a junior In high school and since then his diligent work has placed him high In scholastic standing.

Paul Is also oratorically inclined; he has twice been chosen as a member of debating teams.

Because of his rellablllty and straightforwardness he was chosen as Inspector of the music hall.

NEW ULM -OUR CHRISTIANINS'lTl'tmON SInce Its foWldlng In 1855 by the old Swabian pioneers, New Ulm has always been c;onsIdered a favorite spot and a pleasant dty.

Especially everything of German descent or origin found welcome heart and hands in this city. On the wooded western hI1Iside, overlooking the peaceful city, stands the large Hermann Monument, which was built by a German lodge, the Sollll and Daughters of Hermann. Every few years great festivities, which Americans of German descent from almost the whole eastern half of the United States attend, were and stIl1 are held beneath the ststue of Hermann the Cherusd. Hardly could a better place bave been found than New Ulm's bluffs for the only statue In the country of the great German hero and liberator. .

But all was darkenss In the old city of New Ulml The Gospel had not enlightened the souls of the old German ''Freldenker'' to find the way of salvation. DefIant to God "a home for every Ger· man laborer - popish priests and lawyers mtcepted" w~ founded.

Stubbornly all inroads of the Gospel In the form of "Black Cloaks" were resisted. The old inhabitants of New UIm wanted to serve no God but their own body and mind. They wanted only to g10ry In their own deeds. In godless pride they aspired to make New Ulm a city of cities. .

The path of God's Word cannot be changed and hindered.

Where God has decided to bulld.a stronghold no enemy can resist Even the staunch and hardy Germans of New Ulm had to yield at the approach of the Ught.

Soon after the Indian War, midst bitter and aggressive 0pposition a small band of Lutherans planned and started a church building. At the laying of the cornerstone a crowd of revelers and revilers did all they could to stop the services; but even under the rain of stones and other missiles the small conareJ{ation continued their worship. When the church bulldlng w. completed the congregation was less molested. The year following the founding of the Lutheran church, the Catholics, who thus far only had a small chapel, together with other denominatlOllll, also bullt churches.

Though the beginning was slow and difficult, the congregation continuously grew In munber and In Its beneftclallnfluence on the city. After the tragic' death of Pastor G. Relm, the first minister who served for some length of time, ~hen C. J. Albrecht was called a shepherd of the fiock, New Ulm had already begun to look with respect upon a preacher. Under Pastor Albrecht the congregation visibly Increased In its respected position In the city. Even 1m. portant synodical conferences could be held undisturbed In the neighborhood of unbellevers.

Wben by the year 1883 Lutheran congregations had sprung up pI'Ofuse1yIn MInnesota, faithful pastors and teacbers were In great demand. Up to now the institutions of the Wisconsin Synod fur· nlshed Minnesota's servants~ But the congregations of the Synod of MInnesota felt the need of a seminary of their own. In the year 1883, therefore, the congregations of MInnesota were requested by the synod to submit proposals for the erection of a "Progymilasl.wn."

By November 7 of the same year the congregations had to choose between New Ulm, whose congregation offered J7,ooo and 11acres of land, and Shakopee, who offered $3,000 and 10 acres. Before the selection, Pastor Albrecht, then the president of Gte synod, felt it to be his duty to remove a disadvantage for New U1m,i. e., the opinion of the congregations that New UIm was stIl1 a godless dty and therefore not fit for a 0trIatIan institution. As pastor of New Ulm's congregatlonheezpounded the location and character of the city as ilie Congregations were counted, New Ulm had been chosen as the place for the seminary by a vote of 18to 5. '.

That same winter, 1883, the Rev. C. J.Albrechtandthe bulldlng committee started the erection of the bulldIng, although several thousand dollars had as yet not been subscribed, which, according to the synod's resolution, should have been at hand before starting to bulld. Pastor C. J. Albrecht belleved thus to have acted In the Interest of the synod, as labor was cheap In winter. InMay, 1884,at Red Wing, he tendered explanation for having acted contrary to the synod's decision. Nevertheless, the opening of the institution was made possible a whole year sooner because of Pastor Albrecht's action. .

On June 25, 1884, the 354th anniversary of the Augsburg Con· fession, the cornerstone of the new institution was laid. With devout and thankful hearts the members of the local congregation and visitors from many other dties entered the St Paul's Ev. Luth.

Church In the moming. In the afternoon the whole group of joyful Lutherans gathered In front of the church. How joyful must that procession formed have appeared as It wound Its way up the College HIll! The Courtland band, drawn by four horses, led the way. Then came the pastors on wagons and forty wagollll of visitors. A great throng of local congregation members followed on foot. When the last of the procession had climbed. the b1Il, the services were started, and Prof. Graebner of MIlwaukee dellvered the chief sermon of the day on 1. Sam. 16, 11.After the second sermon by Pastor L. Frey, the cornerstone was laid by the Rev. C. J. Albrecht. Evening services In the church concluded the festivities. With hopeful suspense and prayerful hearts the throng of believers went to their homes. " On Sunday, Nov. 9, 1884, the 'institution, Dr. MartIn Luther College, was dedicated. Another day of heartfelt joy it was for these MInnesota Lutherans. Pastor C. J. Albrecht held the chief sermon of the day on the theme: ''When will OlD' Dr. MmlD Luther College be In truth a city OD the. hDI? Amwer: 1) Wben the oal7 trae Imowledge and wlldom la taught and leuned therelD; Z) eea teacher and scholar will let their light IIhIDe before the workL" After the sermon the first teacher at our lnstltuiion,.

New VIm, Minnesota

DMLC Obtains New Organ What was that huge coffIDlike box situated in the south hall of the basement of the music center a few weeks ago?

If you haven't already heard (by way of that infamous DMLC hoWne known as "Dormtalk") or don't know, it was DMLC's new not-so-modern mechanical action or tracker action organ.

What does this organ have that our other organs don't?

Why did the music division invest in this type of organ? The tracker action organ Is not new.

Itwas used already in Germany before the first World War.What makes It different from ot~'!r

organs Is the fact that it is not electric. All the. organs on campus right now are operated electrically - when you press a key or pedal on an organ the pipes are opened electrically to allow the wind to pass through.

Our new tracker action organ's pipes are opened by a series of levers as you strike the keys.

The result is that the organ sounds slIghtly different and the organ has a different "touch".

Our music division invested in this type of organ for two principal reasons - to keep our DMLC students up with the times (these organs are being

The Teacher In Mission Contrary to the belief of some DMLC students, Mission Fair Nov. 19,1974Is not a day offfrom their career education. Instead, it Is a day when God's Word again encourages us to heed Christ's command In Matthew 28: "Go ye therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost." It Is a day to learn of old and new approaches to mission work and a time to contribute one's own ideas on mission work. ' this year the mission fair will center on WELS home missions, and more specifically In keeping with the 90th anniversary of DMLCand MLA on "The Teacher In Mission." We hope to discuss what WELS teachers are doing to make students mission conscious, what mission programs our Lutheran schools are developing, and how the teacher participates in his congregation's mission program. Certainly, these goals are Important in our future teaching career. '.

Something new Is being tried this year. All DMLC and MLA students will be excused from their first-hour classes to attend the session In the chapel conducted by Pastor Roth and teachers Paul' Koepsell and Faith Haferman of Gethsemane Lutheran Church In Omaha, Nebraska. ThIs mission church has one congregation but two buildingS,one In the suburb and one In the Inner core. They will describe their unique mission outreach. For the rest of the day, college Juniors and seniors have no classes, so they can attend the mission fair, and everyone else Is invited to attend whenever he can. After a free roll, coffee, and milk break for juniors and seniors In the S.U. wresWng room, Ardith Roehler will address them on the teacher's work In the Apache Mission.

The afternoon sessions are oriented to student ~rticipation. It will feature demonstrations of witnessing and canvas calls.

Possible situations a teacher will meet when talking to the parents of his students, when canvassing for his church, or when talking to his nextdoor neighbor will be presented. Also, we will be Introduced to some Gospel folk songs that are now being sung In some WELS schools. Hopefully, there will be a lot of discussion concerning these Jresentations.

The mission committee also has written every school in our Synod asking them questions concemlng their mission program.

Answers will be compiled In a booklet giving us many helpful hints to use when we teach.

Finally, the day will close with Pastor Werner, a graduate of MLA, conducting our evening chapel. We will again be reminded that God's Word motivates us to do mission work, that preaching God's Word Is mission work, and that It Is God's Word which creates faith In our new listeners.

built in many places, St. John's church in Baraboo, Wisconsin, for instance) and to provide an organ that offers instructors at DMLC the chance to show students many more registrations that were not possible on any of the organs that the college now has. Our new organ was in fact made to the specifications of a committee of instructors especially for teaching and practicing purposes; it is unique for our college - one of a kind.

For all you organ buffs and for those of you who are interested, MC 11 offers the followingregistrations: Manual I - 8' Holzgedackt, 4' Principal, 2' Nachthorn, l' Mixture II; Manual II - 8' Quintade, 4' Rohrflote, 1'h' Olein Nasat, 8' Regal; Pedal- 16' Gedackt, 8' Gemshorn, 4' Choral Bass.

Interested? You should be. It's your new organ on your campus - another one of the countless describable blessings He showers on us each day. Oh' give thanks unto the Lord for He Is good!

DMLC Is now classified and recognized as a Candidate for Accreditation with the North Central Aasociation of Colleges and Secondary Schools. this status was given on July 25 of this year. The Association described the candidacy as thus: "It Is a status of affiliation... which indicates that an Institution has achieved initial recognition and is progressing toward but Is not assured of accreditation."

for DMLC.

Chapel Committee Visits Cities No, members of the Chapel Committee do not just light candles and arrange' hymn numbers on the hymnboards for chapel services! They are also responsible for making and taking care of paraments for altar and lectern and seasonal banners. It Is for the latter reasons, that the Chapel CommIttee made a special trip to the cities.

On October 13, the group of nineteen left campus at 8: 30 A.M. In three cars. The drivers were Dean Huebner, and Prof.

Hartwig, Chapel Committee advisors; and Prof. Backer.

Chapel Committee arrived In Jordan, Minnesota, In time for the ¡10 o'clock service at St. John's Lutheran Church. After the service, Pastor Verne Voss kindly gave the girls and professors a tour of the church, facilities, and adjoining rooms.

Before leaving for MInneapolisSt. Paul, the girls enjoyed a light lunch which they had taken along.

The Minneapolis Institute of Arts was the next destination.

Here the group enjoyed an afternoon of historical art.

Finally In the early evening,

DMLC Achieves Candidate Status Many of us remember the visit from the Accreditation committee for the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. We were told that they could walk In on any class at any minute. You sat In speech ciass watching the door, because you knew as soon as you get up to give your speech In they would walk. But It wasn't that bad at all, and now we have the results from their visit.

the Committee arrived at St. James Lutheran Church in St. Paul. At this congregation, they met Mrs. S. Edward Erickson, who has given up time and talent to create banners for the beautification of worship services in her church.

She has made banners for practically every season and occasion of the church, including some for Baptism and marriage.

Because Mrs. Erickson has done such spectacular work with banners, the Chapel Committee received

valuable help from her. Mrs. Erickson gave the girls a demonstration, displaying her banners and explaining the significance of ea ch. She. also gave them some hints and tips on quick, easy, neat work when doing banners. Answers concerning a large banner to be made for the 90th Anniversary, were also answered.

Well inspired, the group left the cities for New Ulm,' once they had eaten supper. They were back on campus by 9:00 PM.

P-I S.h"'mo.~e ...

For most of us, 90 years seems like a long time. Ask any grandmother or grandfather and it really Isn't very long at all. Look in the hfstory books and 90years Is hardly a dent in history.

In the late 1880'sAfrica was being "discovered" and divided among the European, powers. Socialism was gaining support in Great Britain. Unskilled labor undertook its first strike, Marxism was becoming an established doctrine. Bismarck reigned in Germany. !twas the time of Richard Wagner, Queen Victoria, Leo Tolstoy, Pope Leo xm, and Friedrich Nietzsche. In the United States there was a growth of cities due to much immigration.

Cleveland was elected President. 18 percent of the women worked outside of the home and the population of the U.S. reached 50 million.

In the little town of New Ulm, Minnesota, some men decided to form a college for the preparation of ministers In their Lutheran Church body. DMLC was founded.

Today a great amount of time, money and advertising Is spent on a nostalgic theme. "Looking back" seems to be a favorite theme. Its popularity Isn't lImlted to fashion, TV shows, movies or music. People today want to forget about today's problems by remembering the "good 01' days." , On the DMLCcampus we're busy remembering the interesting customs which make history come alive, the people who helped this school become what It Is today. And why shouldn't we? It's good to learn from history, to look back and to honor those who have given us such a great inheritance. But let's just not spend too much time looking back and lose sight of the battle ahead. Let's look to the peesent and the future. Happy birtbday, Luther!

My Mean Mother ."I had the meanest mother in the whole world. While other children ate candy for breakfast, I had to have cereal, eggs or toast. When others had cokes and candy for lunch, I had to eat a sandwich. As you guess, my supper was different from other children's also.

Mymother insisted upon knowing where we were at all times you'd think we were on a CHAIN GANG. She had to know who our friends were and what we were doing. She insisted if we said we'd be gone an ho~ that we be gone one hour or less - not one hour and a minute. I am nearly ashamed to admit it, but she actually spanked us. Not once, but each time we did as we pleased. Can you imagi;-e someone actually hitting a child just because he disobeyed? NOW YOU CAN BEGIN.TO Sjl:E HOW MEAN SHE REALLY WAS. "While the other girls were wearing mini-eklrts and smoking. cigarettes we had to be little grandmas and were called OLD FASHIONED. Mother would not even let us go to the DRIVE-IN MOVIES. How could she be so MEAN? .

"Th~ worst is yet to come. We had to.be in bed by nine each night and upearly the next morning. WI!couldn't sleep till noon like our friends. So while they slept my mother actually had the nerve to bi-eak the CHIID-LABORLAW. She made us work. We had to wash dishes, make beds, learn to cook and all sorts of cruel things. I believe she lay awake at night thinking up MEAN things to do to us.

MARY JANE RODENBECK

Mary Jane Rodenbeck, the daughter and fourth child of Mr. and Mrs. William Rodenbeck of Yale, Michigan, was killed late' Sunday afternoon, July 7, 1974,as sherode her bicycle in front of her home. .

Are you part of the problem or part of the solution? Nowthere's a question you have probably heard many times before, but this time we're asking it in a context you likely haven't considered.

Let this sink in.

These days a blood transfusion that's given to save a life can cause a death.

Because. Though there are many reputable commercial blood banks, blood from commercial sources is, unhappily, ten times more likely to be the cause ofhepatitis than is blood collected by the Red Cross and other 'community blood banks that depend upon volunteer blood donors.

Shocking? Of Course!

So, you ask, why doesn't all blood in American hospitals come from volunteer donors?

Answer: A mere three percent of all Americans are donating one hundred percent of all the blood that's freely given in America. It's not enough.

So, you see, if you're at least seventeen, healthy, fit the easy criteria for donors, and yet don't give blood regularly - well, you're part of the blood scandal in America.

By default.

You can become a part of the solution. And soon! A traveling Red Cross bioodmobile from the St. Paul Regional Red Cross Blood Center will be coming to the campus on November 21, between 12:00and 6:00 p.m.

Come on, people, roll up your sleeves, and keep people you know alive and well. (And people you don't know,too.)

Lancers Capture Victories DMLC3Z-Manmatha 7 The Lancers won their first game of the year as they snapped Maranatha's winning s1reak by a score of 32-7. The Lancers looked most imlX"essiveIn their first victory of the season.

The team had two new men starting at key positions on offense. Bob Dretske replaced Tom Hunter at quarterback and Steve Herrmann took over at running back for Paul Schultz, who played defensive linebacker for Injured Dave Voss.

Maranatha won the coin filp and elected to receive. The Lancers kicked the ball away but QuiCkly regained It as Tony Natalie recovered a fumble on the klck-off. The mighty Lancers drove the football to the four yard line from where Steve Herrmann scored his first touchdown of the game. The extra point was no good, but the fired up Lancers were winning

6-0.

After a few exchanges of the ball, the Lancers had the ball with first down on their own nineteen yard line. Quarterback BobDretske called an off-tackle play to Herrmann who broke several tackles and romped 81 yards for his second touchdown.

Again the extra point falled.

Maranatha got on the scoreboard with a long bomb pass play and kicked the extra point making the score 12-7.

However, the team again scored, this time on a Dretske pass to our little receiver Jay Storm. Storm ran In for the touchdown with the whole play covering 36 yards. The extra point failed again and the score stood: DMLC l3-Maranatha 7.

Before half-time the Lancers scored again on an eight yard run by Dretske. This time the extra point was successful with Dretske throwing to Carl Hochmuth, who was filling In for the Injured Jerry Warning. This made the half-time score 26-7. , The first half, the Lancers showed great offense and In the second half, they played some great defense with everyone doing their jobs. Paul Schultz and Phil Boileau led the defense with eight tackles. Paul Bartelt had seven and Fonda FIscher and Orv Breitkreutz each added six tackles.

Later In the fourth quarter, the team again scored as Jay Schwall dove over the goal line.

Once again we failed trying for the extra point and the final score stood at 32-7.

Herrmann only carried the ball seven times while scoring two touchdowns and gaining lOS yards to lead the team in rushing. Herrmann also caught two passes for 30 yards.

Southwest too tough for Lancers Southwest State College of Marshall, Minnesota put together a balanced running and passing game in over,

whelming DMLc 43-15.

The Lancers got on the board first when Phil Boileau kicked a 36-yard field goal after Southwest had fumbled a punt deep In its own territory. This was the first field goal in the three years of Lancer football.

The lead was short-lived as Southwest came back with three quick touchdowns, moving In front 21-3. The Lancers cut the lead to 27-9with a sustained drive In the second quarter, but Southwest came right back scoring a touchdown In the last minute of the first half for a 27-9halftime lead.

Southwest put the game out of reach with three touchdowns In the third quarter, increasing their lead to 43-9.The Lancers put together a drtve In the fourth quarter with Jay Schwall scoring on a 100yard run.

Another Lancer drive was stopped by a fumble on the' Southwest tw~yard line.

Southwest rolled up 456 total yards, 249 rushing and 207 passing, while the Lancers had 240yards on the ground and 27 net yards through the air. Both teams fumbled five times, Southwest losing four, and the Lancers all five.

Lancer Coach Dennis Gorsline had mixed emotions of the game. On the positive side Gorsline noted, "Our kids scrapped all the way. Wemoved the ball well on the ground (Jay Schwall picking up 150 yards) and scored twice on sustained

marches. We hit hard all the yards out, and Schwall also game and didn't give ,up." On added another touchdown, as the other side Gorsline noted the Lancers built up a 27-0 that the pass defense was leaky, score. Pillsbury finally got on the scoreboard at the end of the and he felt Southwest tried to run up the score staying with first half on a double-reverse their regulars until late In the pass play. , The second half was basically fourth Quarter.

Lancerettes Out-play Opponents As New Season Begins Lancerette volleyball action got underway on October 12, when D.M.L.C. hosted the University of Minnesota In the Luther Memorial Union gymnasium. A lively crowd cheered the Lancerettes In this well.fought, aggressive match.

However, first game Inexperience plagued the Lancerettes as they lost the match to the Gooher l!irls 12-15.12-14In overtime, 1~, and 14-16in the best of five match. Carol Landry and Judy Wade were cited as the top servers for the Lancerettes.

The Lancerette B team, also, fell to the University in their best of three match. Scores were If>.l1,4-15,and 3-15.Anna Caskey served seven points in the ..I.ast game for the Lancereues.

D.M.L.C. VB. Southweel State On, October 18, the Lancerettes met the flred-uo Southwest State Pintos In a home contest. D.M.L.C. easily took the first game 1~, but the Pintos gained momentum and came back with games of 14-12 as the time ran out, and If>.ll.

However, the pendulum swung the other way as the Lancerettes rallied in the final two games of the match to win 1f).9 and If).6. According to Coach Post, the match was played quite aggressively by the Lancerettes.

Outstanding servers for D.M.L.C. were Joyce lDhmIller, Carol Landry, , Judy Wade, Rachael Kaesmeyer"and Sharon Griep.

The Lancerettes will pial

Southwest State again on November 5 In Marshall.

The D.M.L.C. B team, however, came out on the short end as Southwest State won In a best of five match. Luther won the first game 1>10, but the Pintos took the next two, If>.7 and 15-3. The Lancerettes fought back in the fourth game to win If).5, but dropped the rubber game to Southwest If>.7.

Coach Leopold cited Deb Heinz as the leading server and key setter for the Lancerettes.

D.M.L.C. VB. WinonaStale On October 19, Winona State came to New Ulm to take on the D.M.L.C. Lancerettes. Winona wanted this match badly after suffering losses to D.M.L.C. in both the basketball and softball women's 1974 state championship games earlier this year. However, Winona had to take second place to the Lancerettes as D.M.L.C. won the match with games of 1f>.10,If>.2, 14-16,and If>.7.Serving leaders against Winona were Carol Landry, Cindy Van Drlessche, Rachel .Kaesmeyer, Carol HartwIg and Judy Wade.

The Winona B team proved to be too tough for the Lancerette B squad as D.M.L.C. fell with games of 1>-15,1>7, and 9-15.

Ann Steffen served well for the Lancerettes.

D.M.L.C. VI~ Concordia On October 22, the Lancerettes traveled to Concordia Collegein St. Paul. Despite poor play by the Lancerettes, the A squad defeated Concordia with scores of 13-16,If>.9,and If).6.

Coach Post said that the girls were frustrated and seemed confused all night. .The Lancerette B squad easily won Its match -with I

Concordia If>.1and If).3. Anna Caskey was top server of the night with a string of ten points In the second game.

TrIangular Meet at Mankato On October 24, D.M.L.C. defeated Augsburg College, but lost to Mankato State in a triangular meet at Mankato.

Augsburg beat Mankato, so all three teams won and lost a match. The Lancerettes faced Augsburg first in a tough match with many, ,long volleys.

D.M.L.C. won 13-16,after time ran out, and 14-12In overtime to take the second game Inthe best of three match. The Lancerettes played "200 per cent better" as a team than in their previous match with Concordia. In the first game, Judy Wade served seven points and Carol Hartwig had six. Lynn Thmmne, also, played well according to Coach Post. Luther really wanted this match since Augsburg had defeated the University of Minnesota earlier in the season.

After a rlfteen-minute rest, the Lancerettes met Mankato State. D.M.L.C. lost the opener 10-15,but fought back to win the second game If).5 behind the serving of co-eaptain, Sharon Griep.

Music Department Gains Needed Music Man' •

DurIng the Lutheran Choral Festival which was recently hosted by MLA, I had a chance to meet and converse with Prof.

James Engel, Fox Valley's present choir director and soon to be professor of music and organ at DM.L.C. An extremely friendly and. deceptively soft~ken person, Prof.

Engel Is a lean, gray.flaired man with a dynamic personality.

Prof.

Engel attended Lutheran grade schools and the Lutheran High School in MIlwaukee. After graduating from Concordia at River Forest, he taught there for the period of.one year. Although his parents were members of WELS, there were at the time no major differences between the MIssouri and Wisconsin Synods. He then taught at Lutheran grade schools in Milwaukee and Racine for eleven years;' ·Prof. Engel commented that sixth and seventh were his favorite grades. He. very much enjoyed living in Racine, especlally since he was able to play piano, which he loves, with the Racine Symphony Orchestra.

For the next twelve years Prof. Engel served as the Chalrman of the Coliege of Music at Concordia in Milwaukee. Two years of this period were spent in a sabbatic leave at the University of Wisconsin in MacIIaon, where he '

taught nineteenth and ~entieth century music theory, while studying for his degree. Prof.

Engel holds a Master's Degree in organ and has nearly completed his doctoral work in theory.

A man of deep religious convictions, Prof.

Engel resigned from the MIssouri Synod in 1972 for doctrinal reasons. Members of the religion department at Concordia in Milwaukee where Prof. Engel worked admitted that falae doctrine was being taught in their classrooms, but when confronted they refused to uphold the inerrancy of the Scriptures. Since, as Prof.

Engel put it, he could get nowhere with them, he parted from them and joined WELS. Subsequently, he was called to serve at Fox, Valley.

Prof. Engel explained why he decided to come to D.M.L.C. although he has oniy heen at Fox Valley for a short time. "It has been exciting in Fox Valley; there are many warm, exciting people and much to do. But the .work there was mostly choral, and my training has been primarily in organ and theory.

Here (at DM.L.C.) I will teach that which the Lord has trained me to teach." Thus our Savior led Prof. Engel to accept the call to teach organ and theory here at ''the city set on a hill."

Prof. Engel's family includes four children: two who are

married, one who will be a freshman at D.M.L.C., and another who will be a senior at MLA when their father begins his work here next year. HIs wife taught in elementary school for twelve years, until (as he says with a smile) her husband told her to retire.

The organ Is not the only instrument which Prof. Engel plays; he owns a violln, a viola, a flute, a harpsicord, and a cello. "The cello Is a marvelous instrument," he said, "but I can't playa scale in tune." With a chuckle he added, "I play when no one else Is around!"

Prof. Engel has written several choral preludes for organ, solos, and treble choir music, but he has not had a great deal of time to devote to writing music. Hls policy in publishing music Is this: if he likes what he has composed ten years earlier, he sends it to the publisher. .

Next summer Prof. Engel and his famlly will be moving to 211 HazelwoOdin New Ulm. He Is looking forward to living and working here, and I can personally add that he will be a great asset to D.M.L.C. God in HIs grace has seen fit to once again call a higbly-trained .and talented .Christian teacher to the hill. Let us pray the Lord to bless Prof. Engel and his work among us.

GADGET

We were put up one month ago today, . to beat the rush. , It's the 19th and we have onlythirtelm more davstogo.

The cold nights affect us adversely, and consequently we need more time ' to get started.

December gets worse every. year weather-wise.

We're the blinking kind, and we're outside this year.

The regulars are Inside, where we were last year, for variety probably.

Our particular section was In Sporting Gooda above rods and reels.

W d ed e won er , In the beginning how they would get us up here.

Laddersand JIfts did It, . so we could be seen from the southside.

Eight and three quarter feet above the traditional wreathed sign Is our new home. lf we go out they murmur, "Too high," but fix US anyway.

The snow's nice but next year we're inside.

Toys we hope.

We work from 3:00 to 9:00 weekdays and until 10:30 on weekends as the Day approaches.

!I..

Most nights they're qulte busy.

We like to think we're responsible, but we know we're not.

Our height Is probably Why they don't notice.

You'd think though with ali those colors, ...

The day; night Is almost over and we are a little tired and discouraged, more so than In the beginning.

We really try hard In what we do, but they must be too busy, That. must be It. Only twelve·more to go.

No one seems to·see us shining, , the same every year: They should touch once, they'd know.

Students Flow With Life Ivan Pavlov, as many of you know, was a great behavioral psychologist around the turn of the century. Many of his Ideas have come down to us In the form of ideas for education. But alas, education Is making great new strides! This year for the first time ever on DMLCcampus, we're running most of the day without the aldofbells, It seems as though our masters have decided we're not exactly Pavlov's dogs, triggered by the sound of a bell.

Many advantages have come from this new system. Clockwatching, once despised and loathed, has suddenly become an Important part of the everyday classroom.1n fact,ln more than one class, professors have designated a student for the practical purpose of clockwatcher. Now, Instead of being admonished for watching the clock, we are commended for serving the class as "exalted sentinel of the timepiece."

This new· system has also permitted undisturbed sleeping during free hours In the afternoon. However, some students have run Into slight problems. They've found taking cat naps can cost them one or two classes and maybe even dinner. Those who really suffer are the ones operating on sundial time, The cloudy weather lately has been exceptionally hard on at least one student In Psychology of Learning. , The lack of bells has also made for interesting circumstances l'l the classroom. One professor managed to get half way into the next day's lesson, not realizing he'd.used up an additional hour.

Another Is said to keep a 5Q.mInutehourglass sitting on his lectern.

And In the biology department a rooster has been trslned to crow every 50minutes. But, they still haven't been able to train In that 5minute Interval between classes. . students are no longp, cl\'astised for ''packing up" 5 minutes early, because we're giving ample notice that we're eagerly awaiting assignments, etc. No longer Is the longing gaze towards the door or checking the watch or an occasional glance at the clock considered poor classroom etiquette.

I always knew that someday It would payoff to be adept at the skill of watching the clock hands make their artistic way around that 5Q.mInutecycle. But now It seems less enjoyable. It's no longer a game'to see whether you can watch without being caught. I feel aorry for the poor frosh who have realiy missed one of life's little pleasures.

011well, there's always counting holes In the ceiling tiles, looking out the window, daydreaming, letter writing, doodling, passing notes, glrlwatchlng (guywatchlng), prof-condltlonlng. cat napping, extra-currlcular reading, catechism memorizing ....

Thursday, November 21, the student UnllJn became alive allve with lIfe-giving blood from 235 students and faculty of the MLA-DMLC campus family.

This charitable project was undertaken by the Collegiate Council, with Paul Kassulke, Naomi Welke, and Colleen Lelsten heading the committee.

The St. Paul Red Cross Regional Bloodcenter arrived on campus around ten-thlrty to set up their equipment, and then

donations began flowing around noon until six o'clock tha( evening.

There were 274 volunteer donors, but 39were temporarily unaccepted for Illness. They had rontracted sore throats, colds, or were under a prescription medicine. Of the 235able to give, there were 175 first time donors.

Thanks are due the many students who served as volunteers assisting the Red

As ridiculous 'as it may sound, Collegiate Council Is asking every student to bring one rock with him when he comes back from one of the remaining vacations this year to build a combination fireplace, barbecue pit, and monument In Luther Hollow to commemorate our 90th Anniversary. This barbecue pit would be used for any of the scheduled activities held In Luther Hollow involving the use of outdoor cooking or perhaps even private use by the students wishing to have a barbecue. The avaIlability and restrictions concerning the use of it haven't been set yet.

The reason hehind asking each student to bring a rock has a twofold purpose. 1n this way the students would be involved In 'building something that they could point to with pride In future years.

The other reason behind the students bringing a rock Is to illustrate God's grace In giving DMLC and MLA students from many localities, Having rocks from every state from which the students come shows how God's word has spread during these 90 years.

The fireplace would be constructed by members of the student body under the supervision of Heymann Construction Company.

Think of it,ln ten or twenty years when you come back, you can go to the barbecue pit and shoWyour children the exact stone that you brought to help build It, As you sit around the fireplace roasting your steaks, you inlght tell them how It was back In '74-'75,during the 90th AnnIversary year, when It was buill

Be came ODe quiet, silent night· to a little stable In Betblebem. '!bere waa no radio broadcast proclaiming His birth, nor any .television news releaae interrupting an already scbeduled program.

His presence waa not resounded all across the nations that a aIild of a new generation had come to save our souls. .

But soon an angel appeared In the sky to a few lowly shepherds In a field. Tbe angel told them of . the birth, and they went to see.

Hmnbly they bowed before HIm, knowing the truth of this 0t1ld.

So let us too today join In the spreading of this truth that Jesus came to save all men from thelr deadly sins. Turn off your radios and your TV for soon our Lord will come again; and like before, there will be no warning.

Moonbeams glisten on the snow S1elghbella ring and streetlights glow.

Carolers singing songs of mirth Just like the angels at Jesus' 'lirth.

Snowmen hold their solemn l ound Over their makers, sleeping sound.

Houses smell of pine and .spruce, Of ham and pudding and holiday juice .

Colorful presents are piled high, Stars are twinkling In the sky; Fires are burning clear and bright, Hope is high and spirits Ught: It's Christmas .

But No One Undentoocl Everything was still. Tbe soft black velvet so unique to night muffled even the silence.

Slowly, noiselessly, the white sterile crystal puffs drifted downward to touch the earth, and the dead brown grass, and the barren black trees, and the cold lifeless concrete slabs, and the stlD'dy, spiky forever green pine trees with a miracle. Even the city lights uttered not a buzz In awe of the evening. The stars twinkled and winked at each other In mute agreement aa If they had known all along.

"I'm sorry."

A Finals Parody And it came to pass that early In the morning of the last day of the semester there arose a multitude, smiting their books and wailing, and there was much weeping and gnashing of teeth, for the day of judgment was at hand, and they were sore afraid. For they had left undone those things that they ought to have done, and had done those things which they ought not to have done, and there was no help for It. And there were many abiding In the donns - those who had ' kept watch over their books all night, but It availed nought. But some there were who arose smilingly, for they had Jrepared for themselves the way and made straight the path of knowledge. And the wise ones were known as the burners of the midnight oil, but by others they were called curve-raisers.

And the multitude arose and ate a hearty breakfast.

And they came to the appointed place, and their hearts were heavy within them, and they came to pass, but some passed out, and some of them repented of their riotous living, and bemoaned their fate, but they had -not a prayer. And at the last hour there carne among them, one known as the instructor, he of the diabolical smile, and passed papers IIIIlIingthem, and went upon his way, and many and varied were the questions asked by the instructor, but still more varied were the answers which were given, for some of his teachings had fallen on fertile minds, others had fallen fallow among the fellows, while still others had fallen flat.

A few weeks ago when 1 was home, Ltalked with ~ high school friend of mine. Once a wild member of our clasr,:~ settled down and was, believe It or not, an executive. As we sat In his penthouse, sipping glasses of milk, he told me of his problems with a special travel group to which'he belongs.

"For the past three years I've been a member of the Andrew Kearney Giobetrotters Travel Society. As a member. we have the privilege to vtsit six countries of our choice each summer." , , , "You what? That must cost, doesn't it?" 1couldn't believe this one time loser had become so affluent. , ''Oh yeah, a little, but it's worth It Anyway as Iwas saying .•.

The society promises to grant the. requests without duplicating any countries previously vtslted In other society travels. as long as you submit all the forms by a certain date. I had everything all taken care of long before the deadline. Our 'Travel' this last summer was to leave on the last Tuesday InJune,.and, the week before, we still didn't have our tickets. Finally about tour days before the 'Travel' was to leave, our tickets came."

"Look, I sent those registration forms and cards In months before to get the choices Iwanted and they sent me Spain - which I vtsited the summer before - and of all things, South AfrIca! I called their office and they said I should come as soon as possible for consultation."

"What's your problem?" the secretary finally asked after about an hour-long wait.

"Could I please see the director of travel scheduling and planning?"

"I'm sorry, sir, he's just leaving for dinner. Is there something I could help you with?"

"OK. Here's my problem, I've got this country which I've visited before and ... " "Please fill out this form with your problems and we'll look Into them."

"But"

now

And some there were who wrote for an hour, others who wrote for two, but some turned away sorrowful. And of these, many offered up a little bull In hopes of pacifying the Instructor, for these were the ones who had not a prayer. And when they had finished, they gathered up their belongings and went away quietly, each In his own direction, and each one vowing to himself In this manner, "I shall not paBS this way again," but It is a long road that has no turning.

Viewing the world through the eyes of a child is like seeing everything when you are looking up, where things are big and bright and beautiful. Everything moves, and everything is real or is it?! Imagination is endless and time is non-existent. Your wildest dreams are fulfilled through the eyes of a child, because to him anything is possible.

With this In mind and being ready to break from our grown-up world, Collegiate Council has adopted the theme ''Through the Eyes of a Child," for Snow Carnival '75. The festivities all begin on Saturday, February 15, when the seven queen candidates are introduced to everyone after the basketball game.

For an afternoon of fun and excitement outdoors, It's Sunday, February 16. At 1:00 the snow and Hermann HIll will take on all challengers In the annual Downhill Gravitational Races. There will be races In the two - man and four - man classes for which contestants are asked to sign up.

For a night of original entertainment and lovely women, it's Tuesday, February 18. This has been designated as Skit Night and Queen Competition. Each class will present an original humorous skit as they use their imagination to see things as ~ child would. The seven queen candidates, will be there to keep things interesting. The professors won't be forgotten either; therefore, take this time to put the books aside and look through the eyes of a child.

For a night of show and spectacle, be sure to be In the auditorium on Friday, February ~1. The "Kids" will be there with a new show of songs and routines to keep everyone happy. The night will reach its climax when the Queen of Snow Carnival '75 is announced and crowned. Even gr_own-upkids will like this evening, so don't miss It. For a day of competition and reward, It's Saturday, February 22, that you have been waiting for. A broom-hockey tournament will be held at West Side Park. The snow sculpturing will have been completed by this time, and the judging will take place. Snow Carnival '75 will be climaxed after the basketball game as the Snow Carnival Queen announces and presents prizes to the winners. The winner of the class competition will also be announced at this time.

Snow Carnival '75 promises to be one of the best ever. You can make it your best by putting alade your grown-up thinking for a few hours and taking a look at what's happening. Look at the world and have some fun as you look at things "Through the Eyes of a Child."

The Wrestlers The long Christmas vacation did not seem to help the DMLC wrestlers although the weather did give them a break for a day.

The match against St. Paul Bible, which was snowed out on January 11, will be made up on February 18.

January 14 saw DMLC lose a tough match to the Concordia Comets 32-20. The Lancers' points came on Mike Ebert's pin, Bill Hartwig's tie, and forfeits for Tim Moran and Mark Ricke.

On January 28, the Lancers traveled to Owatonna to take on PIllsbury College. They ran Into some stiff competition and lost by a score of 3&-14. Bill Hartwig , continued his unbeaten string with another pin. Tim Moran also pinned and In another fine match, Ed Hahn and his 0pponent drew 4-4. The Lancers were especially hurt In this match by their Inability to avoid being pinned.

With the addition of several new wrestlers at semester the Lancers hope to be much stronger the res! of this season as they head for the conference tournament on February 25.

"Here's a pen."

I filled out the forms and handed It to the secretary. By now the office was filled again with more people. I decided that they were doing an excellent publicity job and these must be all new members waiting to sign up for travel packages. "Ab, what's all those ticket envelopes stacked on your desk?" I asked the secretary . ."All new' members?"

"Oh, no. They're just other problem cases, we'll get them straightened out. Thank-you for stopping by. Next." , "Hey, justa minute,' I said. '\\Ihen will I get my fllght program back?"

"You should receive it In your mall by next Monday."

"Yeab, but the society is supposed to leave Tuesday."

"I'm sorry. If you don't have your tickets by Tuesday, stop by and check up on it again." ~ "Well, did you get to go?" I asked my friend.

"Oh, sure, I received the tickets Monday and we left for the nine-week tour on Tuesday.'"

"Did you get to see all the countries you wanted to?"

"Mostly, Except I did get the packsge with Union of South Africa. But It was better than I thought it would be. The other countries were kind of spread out - Russia, England, China, Canada and CUba. I didn't really sign up for CUba either, but somehow it worked out that way.'"

My poor rich friend. I didn't have the heart to tell him that he di~'t have to be an executive or belong to the Andrew Kearney Qlobetrotters Travel Society to have problems.

"The Crucifixion" On February 16, 1975, the Chapel Choir will give their rendition of "The Crucifixion" - a meditation' on the sacred passion of the holy Redeemer at 8:00 p.m, In the Chapel Auditorium.

Tie "Gay Ninties" -Revived The AeoJtans, Marluts, and Academy Band have done thelf' part to celebrate the Ninetieth Anniversary of "The CitySet on ,an Hill." On Sunday, February 9, these campus organizations gave a "Gay Nineties" concert In the chapel-auditorium.

Special. costumes worn by the two choral groups added to the atmosphere; the "ladles" were deckedout In ruffles, bows, and lace, while the "gentlemen" appeared In pin-stripe shirts, vests, and garters. The Marluts had even grown beards for the occasion, Both the Aeolians and the

Marluts sang numbers reminiscent of the "Gay Nineties" era. The ladies appropriately perfonned "AIlce BlueGown" and "Some Folks."

Of course the men sang such old favorites as "Down By the Old Mill Stream," "Tell Me Why," and "Rock Meto SleepIn an Old Rocking Chair, " The two groups traded verses (and their thoughts on the opposite sex) In the fami11artune "Rueben and Rachel."

The Academy Band contributed "Our Director" to the concert theme, Since this march was published In 1885,

the young DMLC Band of that year could have perfonned it "hot off the presses." Other compositions played by the band were "Overture In B" by Giovannini; "The Landmark Overture," In which each section of the band has a featured part; and "LIfe Is a SongWorthSInging," a popular number.

Just as the theme Indicates,lt was Indeed a gay concert. The stngers and muscians enjoyed performing In the spirit of the Ninetieth Anniversary, and the audience certainly enjoyed listening to this spirit rendered In music.

The Ninetieth Anniversary Tour of the College Choir in the one hundred twenty-fifth year of the Wisconsin Synod will take place during the last week of March. The Choir, under the direction of Prof. MeUahn P. Zahn, will begin its tour at St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Onalaska, Wisconsin, on March 21and then will sing at twentyone other congregations, mainly in the three Wisconsin districts before they return home on March 31. The homecoming concert at DMLC is scheduled for April 20.

This tour has a double purpose since it is the 90th Anniversary of thP founding of DMLC and the 125th Anniversary of the Wisconsin Synod. On Palm Sunday the

Choir will sing at Salem Church of Granvllle where the Wisconsin Ev. Lutheran Synod was officially begun. They also plan to stop at Grace Lutheran Church in Milwaukee where the first organizational meeting of the Synod in 1849took place.

Included in the College Choir's concert will be Brahm's Motet, "Salvation Unto Us Has Come" and "In This Day" by Richard Kountz. They will sing a variety of songs composed by , members of the DMLC faculty over the years and some special numbers composed for the 90th Anniversary Year.

You are invited to join the Choir in one of its services, so check the schedule which fgllows to find the congregation nearest you.

The Inside Story on Old Main Activity A short conversation with the admlnlstration reveals there Is much activity going on inside of Old Main.

No doubt, by now almost everyone has heard of the new course which 1lllly enter the curriculum: the Human Relations Component. ThIs year a committee, Profs. Glende, Huelmer, Sievert and Dean Haar, and chairmaned by Dr. Barnes, Is Investigating the approach to take with this new course. The HRC Is one step In trying to solve the teacher accreditation problem found In a few states. It Is needed for approval by the Minnesota State Department of Education In request for the Minnesota State Teaching Certification.

There are four areas Involved In the HRC: 1) Understanding the contributions and life styles of various racial, economic, and cultural groups; 2) Dealing with basic prejudices; 3) Creating a learning environment which contributes to the self esteem of all persons and positive interpersonal relations; 4) respect for the individual. ThIs committee will report to the self-6tudY steering committee and then to the faculty later this spring.

On March 17th a consultant, Dr. Joe E. Elemore, Academic Vice President of Earlham College, Richmond, Indiana, will be on campus to advise us on continuing steps for North Central Accreditation. On May 1st. DMLC must submit a biennial progress report. ThIs coming fall, a visiting committee of North Central will be on campus to determine whether we will remain In "candidate status."

Next year many professors are returning to the other side of the classroom. Profs. M.D. Schroeder, A.J. Schulz, A.E. Anderson, L.A. Boerneke, A.J ..

Koelpln, and P.R. Boehlke will all be working on their doctor's degrees during all or part of the 1975-76school year.

With all these vacancies and only the return of Prof. Isch and the arrival of Prof. Engel to the staff, some courses In the concentration course areas are being dropped for the 1975-76 year. The following are not being offered next year: 20th Century Europe, Advanced Composition, Modem English Granunar, Chaucer and Milton,

and Chemistry. Earth Science and General Botany are being introduced Into the science concentration curriculum.

Student teaching' areas will take a change sometime In the near future. An additional area, the Southern Michigan area, Is being added to alternate with the Mississippi Valley area.

The student opinIon poll put out by the Collegiate Council will be used to help the Committee which Is determining the possibility of a new calendar ..At

"It Is about time to eat. Are you ready to go over? What, Is this all they are serving? I guess it will be peanut butter and jam sandwiches today."

Does this sound familiar? Do you ever have the impression our food service does not care about the students and their stomachs?

Well,they do care, and to give students an even greater, opportunity to voice their opinIons, a food committee has recently been formed. It consists of students from every c1ass who will meet with Mr. Tague to discuss the present food service, offering suggestion, and putting forth the student opinIons once a month.

To provide a ,little more insight Into the kitchen, let's look at the baker's routine. He comes at 4:00 a.m., Mon. thru Sat. In one day he bakes approximately 60 loaves of bread, 1000buns, 300cookies, and 250 to 300 doughnuts. There are also cakes, and pies which need to be continually stocked up on. The

they would be paying about 45 cents a meal. The reason for this low cost Is a certain percentage of studenta are counted 011 mIsaIng some of the meals. If they didn't miss, the room and board cost ~wou1d be higher.

When asked about the priC'!s of food, Mr. Tague said the Price of beef has come down (reason for steaks), but pork Is staying up, caIined fruit and vegetables have more' than doubled In price, and sugar. has quadrupled. Last year sugar was $13.00per hundred pounds, and at the peak this year It was a little over $80.00 per 100 pounds. Now the price has stabilized at about $45.00per 100 pounds.

Mr. Tague feels he has a "good bunch of kids" to work for and his help could not be better. He wants students to know he Is always avaDable to hear comments on the food service'. HIs motto Is "the students are my employers, my main .concern, and the most

other cooks arrive at 5:00, 6:00, 9:00,and 10:30to begintheir job of preparing our, meals. Mr. Tague generally comes at 7:30.

Once in a while he Is here at 6:45 to see how breakfast Is' progressing. HIs job consists primarily of managing, supervising, and menu plan-: ning. He enjoys cIrCulating at meal time, to find out how his ' "employers" are doing.

The criteria Mr: Tague uses . when planning the menu, Is a selection of beef, pasta products, (noodles and rice) carbohydtates, and plenty of protein. Many outside, comments have been, "How.oo the students receive such a good selection and fine quality at each meal?" One of the cooks stated not many years ago, when soup was served, that was it - no other main dish. The working situation was much more hectic as the cooks, baker, and dishwasher all worked In the same room.

With Snow Carnival just behind us, and the next major activltes planned for later in the sprlng,lt would seem that Collegiate Councilcould take it easy for the month of March. But the weeks of March will be put to good use planning for the spring activities and working on other things started this year.

To help us with this work, Councilwould like to welcome Its two new representatives: Gale Speerschneider from the freshman class and Ed Becker from the sophomore class, two very welcome additions.

Two of the important future activities are Entertainment Bonanza and Spring Banquet. The date for Entertainment Bonanza has been changed from April 19 to April 26 so as to allow the Academy to be involved The previously scheduled date conflicted with the choral festival the Academy participates In. Work has begun on these events and more information will soon be available.

Another projecl to be finished this spring will be the construction of the Nintleth AnnIversary Barbeque pit. Please keep bringing those rocks and hang on to them for a while. The first nice Saturday after Easter, the Council will come around with the school's trucks and pick up all the rocks. Hopefully the fireplace will be completed and ready for use for the Spring Activities Picnic.

Also with regard to the Ninetieth Anniversary, the collection of envelopes for the library book fund will be March 19.

The Big Brother - Big Sister program will also soon reach the final stages of planning. It Is hoped that this program can be implemented to benefit incoming freshmen by providing them with information and advice upper classmen have gained through experience. One of the things new freshmen will learn Is the location and purpose of the Booksa1es Bulletin Board. The Council has provided funds for the purchase of a large bulletin board which will soon be Installed across from the bookstore. Its purpose Is to make the buying and selling of used books easier for all students. The board will be divided Into four sections, one for each class, and members of the classes can post ads concerning used books they want to buy or sell. By having a central location, it Is hoped that this board will help provide for a good exchange of used books for the economic advantage of all students.

Another project of the Council has been the Calendar Questionnaire. The results .have already, been sumltted to the Academic Dean. These student insights and opinions will be a part of the, consideration of the Calendar study.

The Collegiate Council has also organized a food committee which will meet with Mr. Tague on a monthly basis. The purpose of this committee Is to give him the suggestions and criticisms students have with regard to the food service. If any students have a comment or suggestion for Mr. Tague, 'contact one of the following members of the food committee: Cathy Cares, Melissa Bruce, Paul Kunert, John Festerling, Hedy Haar, Don Groth, Rich Janke, Jim Moeller, Laura Rick, or Colleen Lelsten.

mind. as usual, went blank. When I asked my roommate could write about, he said "There are a lot of things you can write on" As always, he was right. Following are my thotights on God's gift to the college student - the roommate.

Webster defInes a roommate as "one of two people occupying the same room." But there Is more to it than just "occupying," it means working .together, laughing together, admonishing each other, worrying for each other, and praying for each other; .

Who else but a roommate can give encouragement when you need it, a push that Is long overdue, and a kick when you deserve it.

My roommate Is my confidant, my critic, my advisor, and my friend of the highest order.

Too often I hear complaints about roommates. Perhaps some of these complBlnts are justified, but many times they probably aren't, I have no complaints. A roommate Is a learning experience.

I've learned and I won't forget. Appreciate your roommate - you can gain SO much from that person.

And to my gift from God- JEF - Thank You!

"We love you, Conrad, oh yes we do!" Strains of this tune are being heard all over the DMLC campus in preparation for the 1975musical, "Bye, Bye, Birdie" being presented by the Drama Club, April 11, 12and 13.

The story is one of Small town, America, called Sweet Apple,Ohio, where a typical allAmerican teenage _girl, Kim MacAfee (played by Dorie Nolte) has just been named to receive the One Last Kiss from

rock star Conrad Birdie (Phil "Canada" Boileau) who is about to be inducted into the army. His press agent, Albert Peterson (Joel Nelson) and his sweetheart-secretary' Rosie Grant (Judy Zimmerman) concoct this national publicity stunt by writing Conrad's last song, "One Last Kiss." This will be sung to Kim on the Ed Sullivan Show.

Also in the spoWght is Kim's steady boyfriend, by whom she ,

has just been pinned, Hugo (Dan Hosbach); Albert's leadfooted catastrophe ridden mother, Mrs. Peterson (Patty Jackson); and Kim's mother (Lisa Peterson).

Behind this great production is the director, Miss Bonnie Schulmeister and her producer, Kathy JuroH. Paul Kassulke is in _charge of the orchestra; Prof. Ronald Shilling, the chorus; Mrs. Sharon Just, solos.

Next, there was the idea of criticizing the preps. Face it; there just isn't enough space in this column!

So what do I talk about? Why should I look for something to criticize or cut down? There's always a Iright side to everything, something positive that can be said on any subject, for instance: That the NWCmen are often the scapegoats for those guys that can't find a date; it's as good of excuse as any. Furthermore, It gives others the chance to relax. take it easy, and have a night out with the men of DMLC. We're going to college so we should expect classes, and tests.

The first half of the program will be performed by the Concert Band Ensemble. The first nwnber of this section of the program will be "Ile de France," from Suite Francaise, by Darius Milhaud.

This number was written in 1945 as a tribute to the British and American armed forces which helped in freeing France, and fighting against German invasions. 'rhe piece is made up of five movements, combined in a free style. Itis based. on various

folk songs of France.

The 19th Century sets the stage for the next piece by Felix Mendelssohn. It was an original composition written especially for band. He had written this nwnber at the age of fifteen while on vacation at the Baltic Sea, for a certain band which was performing, there. Two years later the work was published.

"Tunbridge Fair," a contemporary piece, was written

by Walter Piston. Characteristic to contemporary music, this number is made lively by its energetic rhythmic patterns.

Writers are a proud people. Of course they have every right to be.

IIit weren't for writers, who would say what had to be said? In many cases the writer is constantly sticking out his neck like some chicken waiting to be prepared for Sunday dinner. Writers are also scrupulous. Normally they try to do the best they can. Consequently, when newspaper writers are forced to obey deadlines often their talent and creativity is stifled.

Because of meeting a deadline, this HINDSIGHTcolumn caused me so much grief. Itwasn't that I didn't have any ideas - just the opposite -'- too many and too many that would have a hard time making it to press.

As an example, a few topics that this writer tried to develop follow: first off, I thought I might have a few'comments on the boys from NWCwho flock up to this campus on certain weekends like so many starlings looking for a place to roost. But I decided this might be in poor taste, offending some of the weaker sex in Highland and Hillview Halls.

Then I thought to comment on everyone's gripes: classes, tests, insomnia, food service, or roommates. Now everyone might be interested in some of the aforementioned topics, so this would appeal. Right? Alas, I envisioned that it would really introduce a quiet supper hour if these were commented on here. No one would have anything to talk about.

Following that idea came the Irainstorm to discuss spring fever.

However, so many of us are already alling from this most welcome

of the concert, "Toy Concerto"

by E. K"tz. The concert was

needed and an interesting time lies ahead.

To finish the first half of the program the Band Ensemble will perform an all-time favorite, "King Cotton", by John P. Sousa.

The second half of the program will be performed by the Symphonic Concert Band.

They will perform three nwnbers. The first of these is Uturglcal Music for Band, by Martin Mailman. This fourmovement composition begins with an introit and ends with a fugue-like Alleluia section.

The second selection is a medley of songs from The SolDld of Music by Richard Rogers. ev~:~';~:~~~ not we!lllnown. Itis "Universal Judgement" by DeNardts. It won a contest in 1878for band composition in Naples, Italy.

The nwnber opens up with mysterious sounds, followed by entries of the harpsichord and woodwinds, depicting the presence of angels. The brass instrwnents also appear with the sounds of Gabriel's trumpet.

The number ends the concert with a majestic triwnphant tone.

THROUGH THE theme. Each Luther coed in the running for the title of 1975 Snow Carnival Queen was presented and Interviewed by the.

Mistresses of Ceremony, Margie Cox and Judy Zimmerman. Of course, each prospective queen was placed in the traditional difficult prof situation and instructed to talk her way out of it. (What true Luther student couldn't use this experlimce??) Although most of the candidates insisted they were nervous, they did a very professional job of "skating" their way through the Roller Skating Rag and of pretending their way through a mock version of Art Linkletter's program "Children Say the Funniest. Things." (How come Edward Hartwig was first in his history class?)

The Seniors build an enchanted Castle to escape classroom drudgery.

The theme chosen for DMLC's 1975 Snow Carnival, "Through the Eyes of a Child," was singularly appropriate; it gave the 660 future teachers attending Luther a chance to really delve into the minds of children that will soon be entrusted to them in a classroom.

Perhaps for this reason, Snow Carnival '75 proved even more enjoyable than those in the past.

Snow Carnival week actually began Friday, February 15.

Following a Lancer basketball victory against Minnesota Bible, the Queen candidates

On February 16, a brisk, invigorating Sunday afternoon, DMLC men and 'women alike "negotiated the drifts of snow surrounding the campus to participate in the downhill gravitational races" at Hermann Park. Luther students were impressed by the four- and five-year-olds whipping down Hermann on saucers, innertubes, and rear ends! The "big kids" didn't do so badly themselves, however; a few teams fell apart before they crossed the finish line, but-most (including the women!) made it

This year each candidate composed a poem describing the characteristics and special interests of one another; each also invited the students to attend one of the events that would take. place during Snow carnival week. Of COurse there were humorous moments; among them, Chris Tews' announcement that the Queen competition would take place on "Tewsday" evening!

with flying colors. Capturing the two-man title were Ed Becker and Dave Lepke; Eldon Sting, Tom Zarnsdorf, Ed Becker, and Dave Lepke came out on top in the four-man competition.

The night of Tuesday, February 18, class skit competition as well as Queen candidate competition was held in the chapel-auditorium.

Seniors, Juniors, Sophomores, and Freshmen exhibited their imagination and flair for drama by presenting a short skit which explored the Snow Carnival

The events of Friday evening, February 21, were exciting and overwhelming. Although done in what other colleges might consider a small, quiet way, the ceremonial introduction of the Queen candidates and their escorted procession down' the auditorium stairs, captured in the spotllght among the hushed gathering, conveyed a gripping feeling of pageantry mingled with the closeness of many friends. The entertainment measured up to the excitement of the evening; the Kids continued their tradition of an unbeatable combination of choreography and singing, and DMLC's own dynamic duo, Vicki and Lynette, made their appearance. How difficult It was to choose a Queen from among the seven candidates: Lorraine Boltz, Colleen Leisten, Sue Hartwig, Chris Tews, KrIs Jeske, Laurie Fischer, and

but by the end of the afternoon several teams had proved their superiority. Lynn Thumme's team captured the women's title; Steve Strassburg and his group of guys took first place in the men's division.

The events of Saturday evening revolved around the Lancer basketball game with Pillsbury. Following a successful B-team stand against the Comets, the queen candidates judged the beards of those DMLC men who had attempted to grow them on the basis of such categories as length, softness, and attractiveness. The Lancers once again proved their ability to play good ball by also defeating the PIllsbury varsity team, much to the delight of the huge crowd of Luther supporters present.

It was comparable to a night watching Meet The Press. Somehow, as I left Waldheim, it seemed as if I had always known her and was just over at her house to converse, relax from a day of college tension.

As I walked down the drive, heading back to the dorm, it occured to me that my carefully prepared questionnaire lay untouched in my Teaching Reading manual. It wasn't that she refused to let me interview her, but it was I who refused to forego reveling in such a delightful Platonic conversation. So what if I didn't find out that her favorite color was, perhaps canary yellow, or that she doesn't like dogs because in her youth she had been bitten three times by the neighbor's Collie? What would Jim say, though, when in the morning he finds out my interview had been a flop and I have no "in-depth" article on Miss Haar for the Messenger?

Those hours of conversation proved only to mold, in my mind, a clear picture of what the Dean of Women at DMLC actually is. The interview was not a flop. I had enough in-

Before coming to America this January, she was employed at a department store in the customer service department.

Because Kazuko has come to America on a student visa, her stay here is restricted to only one year ofacademic study. She is also prohibited from working, since her visa is for study only.

The immigration board could recall her visa if she fails to meet academic standards or violates visa stipulations.

This summer she plans to save the $1,000 round trip air fare to Japan by staying with Pastor Kugler and his family at st. Paul, MN. Kazuko explained t.hat they are her guardians

while she is in the United States.

She hopes to find some parttime employment for two months, and travel the .thirll month before returning to DMLCfor her final semester of the year of study in America.

Minnesota is a,beautiful place for Kazuko. She loves the snow (of which they have none where she lives), and the "skies are so beautiful" here. She finds the DMLC campus very beautiful, too, especially the many trees. ("1 love trees!")

Though the living conditions in her home town of Tsuchiura are completely modern, KaZuko finds American homes and living conditions more comfortable than those of Japan.

She is happy to be able to study here because it is so quiet and peaceful in New Uim. Kazuko finds the food .at DMLCquite good, although the chop suey is not quite like the real thing back home. She is pretty well accustomed to American food, since 'even Japan has adopted many American traditionals, as hamburgers. But, she still likes the traditional Japanese dishes the best of all. ' At first Kilzuko found everything very new and exciting here (expecially the fervor of the crowd at a basketball game.) Now she has settled into dormitory life at DMLC, quite pleased and satisfied with her first few months here.

So, if you meet Kazuko in the halls or cafeteria, be sure to say 'hello'; or, slow down your speech a bit and get to know this very warm, gracious person.

Most importantly, pray that the Holy Ghost is working through the Word she studies, that the faith this Christian' family at DMLChas may be shared with, and finally accepted by, Kazuko, too.

"Winnie the Pooh" To Be Staged By Theater

Awhole "honeypotful" of grins from the Children's Theater cast for "Winnie the Pooh."

D.M.L.C.'s Children'S Theater will present "Winnie The Pooh", by A.A. Milne on Thursday, May fifteenth, and Friday, May sixteenth. Thirty grade schools from all over the Midwest will comprise' the audience for three of the four performances. "Pooh" will be presented for these children at one o'clock Thursday, and at' ten-thirty and one o'clock Friday.

Grandmother (Margaret Petermann) will narrate a bedtime story, as Christopher Robin (Nancy Polzin) provides the link with fantasy that enables the audience to step into the magical, musical, storybook world of Winnie the Pooh.

Here they will meet Pooh bear as portrayed by Gail Dekarske, and his forest

friends: Tigger (Becky Hart~ wig) a bouncy tiger cub, Piglet (Sue Kanzenbach) of shy and retiring personality, Owl (Steve Beilke) a wise old bird, Eeyore (Dave Noack) the glum and gloomy donkey who can't ever see the brighhide of life, Kanga (Sharon Buss) the cleanconscious, motherly half of Kanga and Roo, and Roo (Betty Zelmer) her typically not-soclean-conscious child Adding to the fun are two rabbits (Diane Draeger and Faye Torgerson), a skunk (Bill Mangold), and a gopher (Sharon Molkentin). .

The story opens with the arrival of two new animals to the forest: Kanga and Roo. Upon arriving, Kanga determines to single-handedly rid every inhabitant of the forest of Cont. on Page 3

Chamber Music Delights Audience Uving in Summit Hall is an experience that no one should miss: Since Summit Hall has the exclusive privilege of being the men's dorm on the DMLC campus, the vast majority of students on this campus miss the opportunity of Jiving therein. The change that has come over Summit in tbe past two and one-half years is remarkable.

Two years ago it was a stone building which I entered with apprehension, the lobby looked pretty good and the stairway up to second floor was decorated quite nicely - my room was on fourth.

Upon opening the door and seeing the plywood wardrobes, bare mattresses, two built-in desks, a metal desk and curtains that one could see through in several places, Iwas ready to say to Mom and Dad, "1 think this is the wrong address. SununitHall must be one of those other dorms near the Student Union." I thought the place was part of New Ulm's urban renewal program. I went outside and checked - no, this was the place. Slowly I adjusted to what I decided was the low rent district. Then I saw Annex and West Hall!

Anyway, during my frosh year I adjusted to the place while one of my two roommates maladjusted and left. I was his "father confessor" and so I felt a slight pang of remorse when he decided to quit, but I guess it was for the better. Frosh year had many fun qualities in Summit. There was the night Jack Fritzler decided to start initiation six weeks early. About 11:30he came into our room dressed as an Indian. Enough to scare any frosh. There were the episodes of shaving cream on and under doors, rooms filled with crumpled newspapers, vaseline on door handles and sunflower seeds between the sheets. Allfun and harmless activities.

Then last year I shared a room with two other young men and three of Summit Hall's largest stereo systems. Many thought we were opening up a Radio Shack branch office. Needless to say, our room had constant music. To start with we had a 24 hour rotating schedule for "air time." It seemed I always got the 11p.m.-7 a.m. shift, so later it became a rush to see who could get to the room first. But we were quieting down.

As sophomores we could hold initiation - for some reason that shrunk to only a week before homecoming. Then there was the night we had a fire drill. I thought it was my alarm clock so I shut it off and went back to sleep, only to be rudely awakened some seconds later. Still we Jived in rustic furnishings, but they were more "homey" than during frosh year. On boring Saturday afternoons some of the residents of the lower two floors decided ._ they'd like some adventure. Finding a secret passageway, they . made their way to the fifth floor. Yes, there are five floors to Sununit Hall, but the fifth is occupied only by a few bats and squirrels, usually.

Then came this year. I knew that Summitwas getting new furniture and I looked forward to arriving this last fall. As I climbed the eight flights of steps to the fourth floor hideaway, (it's good exercise), I anxiously thought of the new furniture in the room.

Then I opened the door to 412. Four bare walls greeted me. No wardrobes, no desks, no chests of drawers, nothing. The furniture for our room, as well as some others, hadn't arrived yet. But when it did ten or twelve days later, it was worth the nights and days of living out of a suitcase. Many guys, mostly freshmen probably, don't realize the great improvement. But we who have lived here two, three, and some who have been blessed with four years of residence in the hallowed halls of Summit now appreciate the new Ranch Oak furniture and the new draperies: And I think I can speak for everyone in saying Thank-you to all who made the improvements possible. .

As far as the excitement up here this year, well, it's pretty much the same as every year. (By the time you're a junior you think you've seen it all- but that's not always true). Maybe our phone-is busier than it used to be - I guess the frosh are calling home more often! .

With the snow finally gone, the baseball season here, and the academic year already into the fourth quarter, I guess we can all fmally assume that spring is here at last! For the Collegiate Council the thought of spring means planning Arbor Day, getting ready for the May Banquet, and setting the mechanics in motion for the spring elections.

Recently, the Election Committee for the Collegiate Council has been studying some changes in rules and procedures which will affect those candidates who run for Council offices. Three basic proposals, drawn up by the committee, were presented to the Council and passed at its last weekly meeting.

The first of these proposals discontinues the speeches which were required of the candidates for Council president. In place of the speeches the Council has voted to substitute a question-andanswer period which will be held. on the Thursday before the election immediately after evening chapel. At this time each candidate may make a brief statement, not exceeding five minutes, after which time the candidates will receive questions from the assembly. We hope that this change will create a more active participation on the part of the student body and at the same time remove a part of the of past election campaigns that were often poorly attended and honestly boring.

The second proposal Which was adopted now requires that three workers be chosen for elections which are usually held during the fourth and fifth hours. Any Council member may work for elections unless his name is on the ballot. We hope that this change will speed along voting on election days and also insure honest elections by having at least two workers present at all times.

The final proposal is merely a convenience matter. In the past there ~s been no set form for nomination papers, leading to confusion regarding what type of format should be used, or the necessity of hurriedly designing one to have at the Registrar's office in time for candidates to pick up. The Council has now voted to adopt a uniform nomination paper to be used for all elections.

This will ~e on file at all times and should eliminate past problems ..

We hope that these changes will encourage many of you to be involved in the upcoming spring elections, or perhaps become a candidate for an office yourself! Good student government and student action begins with you and comes about only through your participation.

A high point in the program was a flute and piano duet delivered by the lovely Miss Linda Cowley on flute, and Peter Press on the keyboard.

Both their exquisite lyric expressions in the performance of "Sonata IorFlute and Piano" awarded a rather rousing applause from the audience.

The finale was a fitting number that was louder in tone than the preceding, utiJizing the Memorial Organ, two trumpets . and two trombones. This piece ended the concert on a majestic note.

Next year, think about attending the Chamber Music Concert for all that it's worth.

Prof. Otto Schenk always provides a fine program and what's more, it's very cheap to attend, whether there are a dozen' selections or not. It's always free!

Golfers Launch 1975 Campaign The 1975 Lancer golf team has a new look. With only one returning letterman from last year, the team will have to look to some of its less-experienced golfers. Kurt Seeger will be relied on to provide leadership for the team, anchoring down the No. 1 position. However that leaves four open positl~ for which there are twelve new candidates: Senior Geoff Hoffmann; Juniors Greg Hoffmann, Hans Metzger, and Paul Schultz; Sophomores Brad Pleuss and Jim Polzin; and Freshmen Paul Bauer, Rick Lohmiller, Bob Pagel, Wayne Schlicker, Jim Wade, and Dave Walz.

This season Coach Krueger is filling in for the absent Coach Wulff, who took a leave of ab~ce to study. Coach Krueger's biggest concern right now is the weather. Itwas his original plan to have the team out at the golf course right after Easter vacation.

However, a snowstonn over Easter delayed his plans.

The team will playa twelvematch schedule, including several tournaments. This year the MRAC tournament will be held here on our home links.

The first match of the season against Concordia was cancelled due to wet grounds.

Louis Cardinals. Rick Ebeling, Jeff Inniger, and Ron Ohm will round out the pitching staff.

Steve Strassburg. will most likely be the. starting catcher.

Steve has an excellent stick and is an adequate defensive catcher. Jay Schwall and Dick Huebner will also share in the catching chores.

First hase has three guys vying for the position - Mike Hanke, Jeff Inniger, and Ron Ohm. Second base will most probably be played by Monte Huntington, and Bob Huebner will probably' play shortstop.

Third base also has three men trying for the starting position, Rick Ebeling and Leo Frese, plus Mike Haase when he does not pitch.

The outfield will depend at times on the infield line-up and battery as some players will play several positions. Jay Schwall will most likely start in center, but the other two fields are quite wide open.

"I think we have a real fine chance to do well this year," stated Coach Sue Post when asked what the Lancerette softball team's chances are this season.

Because of the lingering winter weather, Miss Post has not had much of a chance to look at the 1975 squad in action outdoors. She does feel that fielding should be a strong point this year. In fact, she is "really excited" about the tremendous versatility of this year's team, and she is eager to utilize it during this season's six doubleheaders. This year's squad is probably one of the most versatile teams she has ever coached, with many of the girls capable of playing various positions handily.

The mound duties will be handled primarily by a trio of girls. Joyce Lohmiller, a junior co-captain, who was a frequent starting pitcher on last year's state championship team, and freshman Rachel Kaesmeyer will handle most of the pitching duties. Also scheduled to see some mound action is junior Cindy Van Driessche, the other co-captain.

If the team can remain injury-free, and their batting can come through, the 1975 Lancerettes can look forward to a very productive season.

As the end of another school year draws near, the. Collegiate Council CIInlook back upon some of the more notable events which took place this year. We would, by no means, like to pat ourselves on the back, but an honest appraisal of what has been accomplished this year would seem appropriate; : -, _ September saw the election of the new class representatives who came ready and eager to help make the campus activities function. However, these were not the only faces that appeared at our meetings throughout the year as we are very happy to say.

Many other Interested and concerned students attended, offered suggestions, and helped us.

Thanks to these various students, we are now completing what we would 'term a successful year. Although our president, Ron Web, accepted an emergency assignment at the end of the first semester, viee-president Jason Nelson has done a very creditable job in supplying the necessary leadership. Homecomlng, Mission' Fair, Snow Carnival, and Spring Activities Banquet were all successful. We even had Arbor Day, thanks to the hard work of Dale Pautz and the kitchen staff. We hope that everyone enjoyed the movies this year; a similar program has already been set up for next year. The Lyceum program with the Guthrie Theatre's presentation. drew many favorable comments. Next year the Lyceum will offer a presentation on the controversy over the assassination of JFK. One project undertaken this year in order to better serve the student is the addition 0( the bookstore bulletlri board. We hope that many students will make use of this feature as It may solve some problems In buying, selling, and renting books. .

The Council members also had the distinct privilege of meeting with Dr. Joe Elmer from Earlham Coilege and the North Central' AssocIation. He spoke with us concerning our views of DMLC and asked many questions while answering many of our own.

Dr. Elmore Is a consultant employed by DMLCto advise our school In our bid for full accreditation.

One major problem which the Collegiate Council hopes has been eliminated this year Is the fiscal situation of the Escel.lor.

After several meetings and many hours of discussion, the problems hopefully have been resolved and everyone should receive a yearbook nest fall.

In this, our 90th Anniversary Year, the Council undertook two projects to celebrate the occasion. The fund to buy new books for our library has met with pleasing success. However, because of the inclement weather this spring, the fireplace in Luther Hollow has not yet been built. The senior class has undertaken the task of completing this project under the direction of Eric Troge and Jack Fritzler. It should be done before year's end.

To conclude, the Collegiate Council would like t!' bid Its senior members farewell: Carl Hochinuth and Eric Troge, who have worked hard for four years; Kathy Schuetze, our treasurer for the past two years; and Naomi Welke and Sandy WIlkes, o,?, senior representatives - our thanks and sincerest best wishes. .

The ever present problem of creating rabblt or kangaroo ears which would be anything but droopy. was probably the most aggravatmg.

We learned through trial and error how to correct our mistakes. However, even in the worst. of predicaments, things always seemed to work out.

We were lucky to get the professional talent of Michael Johnson from Minneapolis to sing and play guitar for us. His performance was staged in the auditorium of the academic center. His entertaining was made possible through the bookings of the Collegiate Council and with a little help from Mike's agent.

Everyone did his share in making May 17th a fun night.

The planners did a tremendous job of organizing but one must notoverlook giving thanks to all collegiates whose presence made it a great event. They may not have actively joined in onthe planningbut they saw and praised the results. What good would an "at home in the South" atmosphere be without peopleto lookand feel at home?

So, thanks are in order not only to those who planned the night but also to those who attended the festivities.

and a new system of testing where you "pay by the grade" as: a student with a B has learned X amount of material from his professor and therefore owes a set amount of monev.

Nowwe may find students not goingto clsssea and only taking the final. Toget around this, the profs would have to make their tests so incomprehensible that they can be ;mderstood only If the student hss attended the clsssea and maybe not then.

(You may bave noticed that some of our more far~ted faculty members appear to be already implementing this 'concept.)

Herein i8 the fina1 vindication of my system. Under It we find the typical student one who attends all clssses and keeps some type of notes (to get his money's worth from the lecture), but asks no questions (expensive). He will not study a great deal and will, in fact, spend much time watching television, squlrrels, and the opposite sex (also chasing both of the 1atter). This will insure his getting anything but a good grade on any test (another economy measure). In other words, the student of the future will be exactly the same ss the student of the present, only now he will have justification for his actions.

Pooh The class of 1930 is celebrating its 45th Anniversary. Anymembers of this class whocan be present in New Ulm at the alumni gathering JUDe5, 1975, will be seated at a special table.

Please do not be unduly alarmed. I have a posstble solution to this horrendous dilemma. It rests on the rock of the American free enterprise system (with a little laissez. falre thrown in for seasoning).

Rather than being subsidized by the administration, each professor must make his own sslary in class. Lectures could be paid for by the minute or by the outline. That is, you pay a set price for a topic outline and are entlUed to bear the lecture that goes with It. Some .professor may add to thi8 a system of paying by the question. Of course, wholessle rates and group discounts for questions would be made available. To save time and maintain a proper classroom atmosphere, each professor wouldkeep a tally sheet on hand to mark payments due rather than collecting during clssses.

Once again, bells wotild announce the end of each period, only now they would be inside cash registers. I am sure long term payments with easy financing could be arranged and a simple modification would turn our ID's into credit cards.

The next step would have to be students doing their own research and showing up only for the tests. The result would be a reduction of c1asaroomfees

Although the earth was silently l Ipreparlng itself for its annual sleep, the ninetieth anniversary \ iconunittee (NAC) was thinking of life and activity, programs and I praise, laud and honor.

I I Today is an unbelievably beautiful spring day. The earth is I ia1most wide awake. The greening grass, bushes, and trees; the . ibrightly colored jonquils, daffodils, and tulips; and the enthusiasm l lof early morning football players and afternoon baseball players I Iremlnd all of us that the time for thoughts of new life - of the future i 1- is at hand. i The ninetieth anniversary conunittee members think this way, I .

The . !committee members realize that the future is life, that our thoughts I Ishould now begin to be directed to the centennial anniversary of our I Ischools.

I • A few ninetieth anniversary things remain to be done at this i 1wrE1I~g:The last collections of the year-long library books project e still to be taken; the library staff later must purchase, ac- I 'on; and shelve the books the fwxIs provided, books which will ~e students In the future.

"Sincerest and heartfelt thanks to I r,eryone who In any form, shape or manner helped with the an- I fVersary celebration." i Several last words remain to be prayed: "Dear Lord, thank I u for 90 years of grace.

Before I begin with the reSults from the HINDSIGHT AWARDS, I would like to thank a few people who made this column

possible. Among them are a few colleagues in the newspaper business, (not that I wish to be on an equal plane with them, of course), Erma Bombeck, Ann Landers, Art Buchwald and Jim Huebner. I'd also like to extend my thanks to my roommate, Steve Lemke for reading many things that I wrote so that you wouldn't have to read them. Professor Trapp and Jim Moeller were also very good to me in giving me the space that I needed to voice my opinions. Dr. Grams, Prof. Levorson and Prof. Sievert also deserve some appreciation for being such good sports.. .and inspirations.

Withouttheir inspirations many of the columns wouldn't have been possible. There, I think that's about it.

Now, the lilNDSIGHT AWARDS. The Activities Banquet committee forgot a few awards that some people really deserve. At this time I would like to present them here.

1. Promptness Award This award goes to the janitors, the custodial engineers on campus for their efficient removal of snow during the blizzard of the century. Honorable mention: Billy Mundt for coming to class on time (Was it once or twice, Bill?)

2. K1tcben Worker's Award Itwas a tough decision, but Mrs. Barnes polled the most points.

Without her little comments, jokes and extra servings", extra servings? ,. .how could we ever have managed to get through all those meals.

3. Checker Award No, Prof. Levorson, this doesn't go to RMN. To LInda Winkler for knowing so many IDnumbers.

4. The Entertaining Class Award No one likes classes to be a drag, so the professors who get this award should really cberlsh it knowing that their class was really FUN! There were so many fine choices to select and many classes ran close in the cbolce but finally the judges decided on the following classes: Teacbing RelIgion Prof. Sievert Teacbing Reading , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,.. Prof. Glende Teacbing Art ' Prof. Wilbrecbt Teacbing Music Prof. Meyer Teacbing Phy Ed. Coach Gorsline Those methods courses are so mucb f-IHI!!

S. Watchfulness Award This year we had a new position. There was a challenge to the former winner, Mrs. Siegler.' Of course we a11lrnowby now that the new winner of this award goes to our man who surveys the campus at nlght - Pinkerton. Way to go! .

6. Visit the Nurse Award Tim Schroeder, do you have something going with the nurse?

Or do you think maybe you should have a physical examination since you are in sucb "poor" health?

7. HINDSIGHT OF THE YEAR AWARD , Here is is, the coveted award for the biggest HINDSIGHT Of the year. To the staff of the 1974DMLC EXCELSIOR. Are we ever going to see those yearbooks???

Well, dear reader, that's all. If you had half as mucb fun reading this column as I had writing it, HINDSIGHT was a success.

Have a really great Slimmer and we'll see you in September.

The band, under the direction of Mr. Roger Hermanson, announces to New Ulm,another graduation morning In 1974, .

Early Morning Rooftop Concert Early in the morning on June 6th a DMLC tradition will bring strains of the Lutheran Chorales, sounded from the rooftop of Old Main. In this way Prof. Luedtke and his band announce to New Ulm thal another class of DMLC will be graduated In just a few hours.

As a tradition, It must have started ,long ago and been continued down through all or most of the 90 years. No one seems to know the day and year our band trudged to the top of Old Main with their trombones and tubas but as far as people have said they remembered, it was sometime after 1922.

After speaking to a graduate of 1913,I discovered that Prof.

Ackermann directed the tenpiece band of DMLCon the lawn of the small campus before commencement exercises in the evening. Those were the days when transportation up the hill

Anniversary Concert June Night 1975will present a very special concert this year, for it is the finale to the celebration of the 90th Anniversary of MLA and DMLC. The Anniversary committee began formulating plans for this concert last year. It was decided to present numbers that had been performed at past June Nights throughout the past ninety years. Heading the committee for this concert was Prof. Zahn, who searched the archives for these numbers.

Alot of history will be covered in this concert as there usually is a story behind every song; for instance, the selection, "America" was written by Fritz Reuter during World War I to show the college's allegiance to the American cause.

This night will also.give us a chance to look back and reflect on our German heritage.

The Choirs will close with the singing of "0 How Amiable," in which true praise and thanks w\ll be rendered to the only One possible for permitting a ninety years' celebration

Spring has sprung, also in Minnesota. The sounds of Jubilation echo throughout the campua, not only from the students, but also from the professors! This has been a busy year for most students fill~.with many. events as athletic competition, homecoming, fall actiVity, the Christmas party, celebration services for the 90 years of grace, many choir and band concerts, Snow Carnival, children's theater, the musical, Spring Awards Banquet, and Arbor Day. The stndents on Collegiate Councilalso are winding up a busy year.

But, unlike the average student, Collegiate Council members have already begun planning for next fall. Recently freshmen sophomores, and juniors, were given the chance to become directly ~olved in the orientation of freshmen and new students. By signing up to become a big brother or big sister, students are giving themselves the opportunity to form an additional friendship this summer and inform the prospective student what life is like as a DMLC Lancer. Although this brotherly relationship may not be permanent, it will make the first week of school a little easier for the newcomers. In addition this new program, the Council also has begun lining up colleagues to help in registration next fall. The freshmen welcoming banquet and orientation are other projects already In the making.

However, one fact that needs to be stressed is that Collegiate Council is an organization of the stndents. As sucb, it needs ideas from the entire student body, not just from the representatives. If you have some suggestions to make our campus life even better don't hesitate to bring them to a meeting. If you wonder what Collegiate Council is doing, drop Inon a meeting.

Remember, the Collegiate Council is stndents. They work best with your help. .

was with horse and buggy and scbool enrollment was only 65.

Those were the days wben the male count was 62 out of the total 65! Those WERE the days!

With such a sma11 enrollment, it is understaildable that the band was quite small. Sometime in the 1920'sthe band felt the air was not carrying their music far enough when they played from the ground, so they successfully began the practice of playing from the rooftop to let everyone In New Ulm hear.

Some say the tradition was started because it was traditionally an old German custom. Whoever had the idea can be commended, for many people in New Ulm speak of how wonderful the music was in the early morning hours way back when.

The tradition seemed to have been overlooked in the 1930's and 1940's and no morning music on Old Main was heard of again until the 1960's.Although It isn't a true tradition carried out faithfully from year to year since 1923, the brief band concert on graduation morning is reminiscent of the past. It restores for those who remember the early years of DMLCa tradition they perhaps started when they were enrolled at the college and as one worthy to be revived.

Those who remember the early years of. the tradition, upon hearing the music, may think of the, days when graduation took place In Old Main, the sole classroom building at that time. Memories of Prof. Reim and Prof. Montgomery will come flooding back to them, associating this year's sound of music with the sound of music they heard so

long ago.

The rest of us can use oUr Imagination to picture how it used to be when the graduating class was only a fraction of what It Is today and the band ~ was only a fractlon of the group that will play on the rooftop of Old Main in DMLC's 90th year, JUIle 6th, 1975,at 6:45 A.M. Above all, the music will remind everyone that in just a few short hours another class of DMLCwill graduate and begin their new life as Christian teachers in the Lord's Kingdom, An addition to the tradition is the ringing of the tower bell before and after the music is played. Each graduate will have his name proclaimed and emphasized further by the applause of. three gongs.

Chances are the sound of the names won't be heard all over town but the sound of the bells will be heard far and wide to commemorate the important day of graduation.

many others whogrow, process, and package our food, rather than on the family garden. Good famUy fellowship is becoming alarmingly rare; it is becoming increasingly difficult to keep in mind that "The family that prays together, stays together."

One of the main contributions to family breakdown is parents being unable to give of themselves to their young. Most want their chUdren to have the best of everything materially, but cannot take the time to give of themselves. Jobs and their own entertainment take first priority over time spent with their young; physical goods, however, hardly make an even exchange for devoted time, love, and energy. Why do parents stand so shocked when they see their kids run off to seek out, in violence or crime, the affections of which they have been deprived?

Perhaps the the biggest problem in today's parent-child relationship lies in discipline.

Solomon offers us excellent advice in Proverbs 22:6, "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not"depart from it." From two days old until adult maturity, a person needs corrections and restraints placed upon him.

Three-year-olds are not capable of making their own beneficial decisions and judgments, or knowing their own needs. God provides parents for the purpose of drawing from past

experiences and instinctive love to tenderly direct their children's lives.

Today's parents, however, are afraid of stifling their child and inhibiting his mental growth and expression, and so are afraid to punish him. Why use psychology instead of love?

A good old-fashioned spanking never hurt anyone (except the parent), and Is one way parents can say without speaking, "I lo,!e and" care about you."

Children ha ve a psychological . craving for this type of guidance. Often they purposely push to extremes to test how much their parents care.

Finding no barriers, they become resentful, and lose respect for parents and authorities as they get away with more and more, which leads to bitterness and rebellion against alI authority. From countless generations of experience, we can agree with the maxim, "He who spares the rod spoUs the child."

Every case is different, just as Is every personality, each individual child; after years of good Christian training and famUy life, a child may turn his face towards the pleasureable, evil side of life. Nevertheless, by exercising a little bit of time, love, attention, and discipline, parents everywhere could prevent both themselves and their children from suffering internal, eternal ruin.

The Messenger staff wishes everyone a 'happy summer.

Dear Campus Family, ~ A graduation wouldn't be a graduation without pausing for a moment to reflect upon the past, and what a past It has been. Each ~ and every student can relate to those grueling days at his desk over ~ a borrowed typewriter, those lonesome walks in FJandrau, Arbor Days, 40 degree below weather, and, of course, our close and understanding friends. Thinking that after graduation, as class ~ members we may never see each other again for years, makes us~ contemplate more upon the past than usual. We have to admit the memories alone were well worth four years at D.M.L.C. We don't have much time for reflecting upon the past, though. ~ Our thoughts now turn to the future. What is it we have been ~ working f.or? What's It all about? Hang in there, dear readers. It is wellworth It, believe us! In your senior year especially, you finally ~ learn to appreciate what you have been doing here for the past ~ years, namely preparing to be Christ's ministers and teachers to His young. What greater calling can there really be? Think about . ~ it!

I guess this brings us to the ever-present present. Graduation, ~ followed by going out into the field - that is what we have been preparing for. Wehave four years of work and memories for which we will always be thankful, and which we will never forget. Thank ~ you for these years in which we grew both Intellectually and spiritually. We'll be seeing you in the field - God's that is. May God ~ continue to bless your work.

Requiem For A Scholar

HELP US, LORD, TO TEACH THY CHILDREN Senior Class Hymn

Text by

Music by Mark Rubbert and Robert Potratz

Mary Rodenbeck Ed.NoteTheauthor of this article Is a youngwriter-humorlst familiar to many If youread past_gers.

For aboutMo years Jeff Koepselhwote a column called "Snorgs" which dealt with lust about everything. After reading ane columnyouwould have10 agree that hehada very different senseof humor.

Jeff Is a senior this year, thoroughly anloyed student t.achlng, and looks forward to entering the field. Hegladly consented10 do this final article. We hope you anloy it.

The morning was hot, muggy, and cloudy. We perspired silenUyon the stage in our black robes and precariously balanced mortar boards. This was a time for sadness. Before our very eyes our class was slowly dissolving. The girls cried openly; the guys didn't , know what to do.

Afterwards Mom posed me by the Luther Statue and took pictures. Dad fidgeted more than I did; and he wasn't even wearing a ludicrous black gown, as I was. Dads know us for what we are - they remember the squalling bundles of cholic they had to burp and change some twenty years ago; and they are sure we haven't changed.

That night we had dinner at the Kaiserhoff. All day long I felt as if there were a sword hanging over my head. And I knew that sword was Dad. Ifelt that he was the lion and I was the sheep. He was out to get me and we both knew it. At dinner he closed in for the kill.

"Well, Son," he said, "what have you learned?"

And he had every right to ask.

Ihad the sheepskin and he had the bill. Just like anyone else, he Nid a right t.o impect the goods he had paid for; and now I had to condense four years of experience at DMLC into an intelligent, coherent statement.

You try it.

I thought back four years.

Good grief! Once i had been a freshman! And a dumb one, at that. The first time I did my laundry, I threw a red sweatshirt in with my underwear. My underwear turned pink. Iturned red when I opened the washer.

The guys in the dorm turned away every time I changed clothes. They were tickled pink, so to speak. I wasn't.

Dad was waiting.

I said, "Never throw a red sweatshirt In the washing machine with your underwear."

I could tell he was startled because he began to pick his teeth with the swizzle stick from his Manhattan.

• He said, "That's hardly the type of thing you have to go to college to learn."

I Sl'id, "Well, let me think."

I took in the quieUy frantic atmosphere of the K. I remembered those nights when the books became too much and

brew became too inviting. A quick trip to the K turned any group of tired DMLC students Into a Self-Appointed Committee of Concerned Scholars who discussed essentlal points of college policy over an array of pizzas, onion rings, and glasses of brew. Glasses of brew ...

Dad harumphed and I snapped back to reality. There were happy people all around. A few were very happy. Dad was .waiting for a gem. Iguess he got it.

I said, "You can tell a lot about a person by what he drinks."

"Right," he said, eyeing my . Tequila Daiquiri Sloe Slough.

Mom stopped eating because she could hear Dad's teeth grinding. I had to think fast.

I thought about the DMLC professors. Only a professor can confuse John Bunyan and Paul Bunyan. Only a professor can give you an opinion question on a test and mark it wrong. Only a professor will be cheerful on the Monday morning that the monsoon season hits Minnesota. ..Only a professor will give you a B on a paper when you both know that you slapped it together the night before. Only a professor will see you at the K and offer you a carrot stick.

Only a professor will invite you into his home and let you put your feet on the coffee table (you can't even do that at home!).

Irealized that the professors I thought I had figured out were the most confusing part of my world. Iwas suddenly less sure of myself; the world seemed bigger and scarier than it used to be.

Dad was silent. Then he said, "Son, that's a very wise thing you've said. It shows that I haven't wasted my money." bad pressed a crumpled piece of paper into my hand. He and Mom got up to leave. Isat there, stunned. Slowly I opened up the piece of paper Dad had given me.

June 3, 1975

«v« ~uy..£L Once again the magic month of June has arrived, which to all good DMLC students means the end of another school year.

In the midst of rejoicing over this fact, several of us sophomores became involved in a deep discussion concerning what the month of June might have meant to the inhabitants of DMLC "back in the good old days." Take twenty-five years ago, for instance, or fifty years, or even ninety! What June experiences made life exciting for all the homesick (and schoolslck) collegiates of 1918 or 1934? One of my friends remarked, "They must have been doing something."

In an effort to find out just what this "something" might have been, I delved Into the DMLC Archives. Lo, and behold, I discovered the impressive fact that the students of Dr. Martin Luther College have been presenting some kind of a "June Night" concert since the first class graduated In 1887.

That's downright exciting! I decided to explore the history of this concert further.

You can all just about guess that the earliest concert programs were printed In the German language; Icould read with complete comprehension only the dates and names of people. After a little help in translation from more qualified sources, however, I enjoyed finding out just how the DMLC students of yesteryear celebrated the thrilling night before graduation.

Long,long ago - way back In

1918 - June Night Iestivlties were called the Schlusskonzert, or Closing Concert. In that year the chorus sang "America, A National Anthem (New! )"; all you choir members participating in the 1975 concert should recognize that song as one being performed this year in observance of the Ninetieth Anniversary. The number was, of course, composed and directed by DMLC's first fulltime music prof, Fritz Reuter.

Somewhere along the line June Night became known as the Commencement Concert, and the programs were printed in a mixture of German and English. As in 1918, the 1927 concert was composed of musical numbers for various choruses, quartets, and piano.

An important change had taken place in the meantime, however; several numbers In . the 1927concert ("Roses") "In Spring") were sung by a chorus composed entirely of ladies.

(Could it really be possible that there weren't enough ladies at DMLC in 1918 to establish a special chorus for just the female students??) Some very famous people accompanied the choral songs that year: Martin Albrecht; who later served as our third music chairman; and Hertha Sievert, our one-andonly Prof. Erich Sievert's sister.

As the years passed, the Commencement Concert gradually became just what it is today. Here and there on the old programs I noticed the names of some of DMLC's own

Night professors -:- and we sophs thought they never had to do all that homework! Of special interest was the concert held in 1934,for In that year DMLCwas celebrating her Fiftieth Anniversary, just as we are commemorating In 1975 our ninety years of existence. That particular program was thick with the names of DMLC's great: EmU Backer, another of the gifted heads of the DMLC music department; Waldemar Nolte; Arthur Glende.

Many changes have occurred In the format of the June Night Concert; MLA now holds Its own commencement concert, and the choirs and musical groups participating In the college program have changed and expanded. But you know, June at DMLC really wasn't so different "back then." How about It, Prof. Glende? W:asn't the June Night Concert just as much fun In the olden days? .

Here Is what a June Night concert looked Uke In the old chapelauditorium.
