~l9i a fall picnic In Luther.Hollow.

Food, Fun and Games at Fall Activity Picnic Hearty appetites encouraged a large¡ turnout for the annual college 'fall activity. The event, which was sponsored by the Collegiate Council, was held Sept. 21 at 5 o'clock. Students and .faculty alike gathered at Luther Hollowfor food, fun, and fellowship.

The activity, according til Laura Nltz, junior member of Collegiate Council, has several: purposes. One is "to get students,lllld ~~ty together in an atmoiJphere,away from the classroom." . The activity also provides all students with the opportunity of seeing and meeting the majority .of the student body. SInce college students weren't being fed in the cafeteria on this occasion, all those.who were hungry were Inclined to go. Unfortunately smne faculty members could . not attend because of a con-

ference.

They began with dinner: s!oppy-joes;' beana, macaroni salall, carrot sticks, cookies, and choice of drink. After the lunch, the games began. The first was a three-legged race; Dave Bauer and Vickie Long trud(eQWoss the finish line as

vlctors.

The second game brought the excitement and laughs; Three

lines were formed with the individuals in each line sitting one behind the other much as a group on a toboggan. The first person in line would then lean back onto the hands of those sitting behind him and would be passed down the line; at the end he or she was more often than not dumped rather unceremoniously. Each individual was sped on down the line in this

fashion.

A wheelbarrow race followed.

Triumphing here were Ben Selawin and Fritz Horn. The 'scavenger hunt ended the program. The participants set out in search of such objecta as a green tennis shoe, a bandaid, and a twenty dollar bill, which for some reason wasn't too rea!llly available.

This brought an end to the fall activity. In general it was a success; the food was especially good. According to several Council members, though, different types of games would have been preferable so as to encourage greater involvement on the part of the students.

People lOokingahead to a like activity in spring can expect another.delicious meal, new and improved games, and hopefully warmer weather.

setting. Those involved with the play hope that it will equal the caliber of the 1973 production The MIracle Worker.

Cecil Perrington as Mackenzie, Bruce Braun as Rogers, Roger Kramp as Narracott, Ramona Owens as Vera, Cathy Cares as Emily Melva Prahl as Mrs. Rogers: Rachel SeIlnow as Dr. Armstron.

Practices are in full swing for the Drama Club's annual fall production. This year, the thrilling Agatha Christie murder mystery, Ten Little Indians, will be presented on October 31 for the DMLC-MLA campus, and again on November 9 for the public.

The play's director, Donna Dahlke, is very pleased with the progress of her young cast. Of the eleven characters, three are sophomores and the remaining eight are freshmen .. However, these talented underclassmen are by no means inexperienced.

In fact, Donna remarked that they earned their parts from an exceptionally good turnout. at tryouts.

A very likely choice for the position, Miss Wolter is indeed a qualified new member of the organ instruction division of the DMLC faculty. Last year she performed beautifully on the Memorial Organ in her own recital under the direction of Prof. R. Shilling. Her students, if not before, know now that their teacher is indeed an excellent one!

"Hi, Laurel Uhrer!"

"SHHHHHHHH," hissed the organ checker to the obnoxious caller, "you can't call her that anymore. She's graduated and is on the faculty staff now and NOT just another student.

Besides all that she's mar-" "OK, OK, then. Miss Uhrer.." . The checker was enraged and very calmly continued after being rudely interrupted, "Besides all that, 1was saying, she's married."

"I know," said the young man. "I married her."

The young man, of course, is Len Proeber, finishing his final year at DMLC after a year's emergency teaching and Laurel Uhrer Proeber is his wife, another addition to the music faculty-organ Instruction division. Laurel has 48 students and enjoys them all because they're all so interesting. That's a good teacher for you, one who finds the students as interesting as they all find the teacher hardworking. . Welcome, Mrs. Proeber, Sharon Wolter, Ben and Prof.

Engel to an exciting bicentennial year at DMLC.

The Lord Called Miss Westphal

Dorothy Elizabeth VVestphal, was born on November 23, 1939, In VVatertown, VVisconsin. She was baptized in St. John's Lutheran Church, Jefferson, VVisconsin, where she attended a Christian Day School and was confirmed. From high school, Miss VVestphal attended DMLC, from where she was graduated in 1959.

WlSCODsinfor five years, and In VVestAllIs for four years. Here at DMLC Miss VVestphal served as organ teacher for the past five years. She also served as one of the organists at St. John's Ev. Lutheran Church in New U1m.

Besides her love of music, Miss VVestphal was also very fond of poetry and art, where she also displayed her artistic temperament.

Evidence of her Christian love showed itself in her work as a member of Union Hospital

Auxiliary and the Red Cross Auxiliary. She was also a member of the choir at St. John's, the Altar Guild, and 'Fellowship Group.

The Lord In His wisdom called Miss VVestphal, at the age of 35 years, to Himself on June 29, 1975. The funeral service was held at St. John's Lutheran Church on July I, 1975, the service being conducted by Pastor Frederic H. Nltz. BurIal took place at the Christberg Cemetery In Jefferson, VVisconsin.

The coming of another sChool year has brought with it many challenges. These challenges, whether old or new, become the task of the Collegtate Council. Last year the campus family found many activities related to the 90th Anniversary of DMhC. This year the theme for many happeningS will be the Bicen~nial.

As we celelrate the 200th birthday of America, it is only right that we realize what a great blessing God has bestowed upon us. As the cry across the country goes up for people to come back to America, the Council Is ask1ng peOple to come back to DMLC.Come back to your school and begin to take an active role In what goes on here. The Council this year Is going to run under the unofficial theme of "Getting Involved." Throughout the year council members will take an active role to accompllsh things. VVhatabout you? Are you ready to do something for the other people on this campus? Please, don't hesitate to give some time to someone who asks for help, you may find It profitable.· Please take the time to make the theme of "Getting Involved" your own personal theme this year. Make the most of your college years.

Call it a rumor, call It a mistake, call It what you like, but It stlll comes out sounding llke trouble. Some people in our Synod have voiced the opinion that something Is not right between DMLC and our sister school NVVC.Something between the two schools had given rise to this situation. To get at the root of this contention representatives of the two schools held a meeting on September 21 to clear up the rumors and end the strife. After a thorough discussion, it was the general consensus of all the representatives that there had been problems, but the situation was probably better now than ever before.

At the meeting a great deal of discussion dealt with athletics. It was agreed that a healthy rivalry was developing and that the athletes held each other in mutual respect. A part of the problem could possibly lie with the spectators, who because of their loyalties have a tendency toward getting carried away. The rest of the time was spent discussing school publications, inter-school visits, and the preparation of pastors and teachers as ministers of the VVord.

This part of the meeting also cleared up a lot of false notions and produced Ideas as to how the situation might improve in the future.

VVhenthe meeting ended, the representatives felt a deeper respect and a closer feeling of fellowship for their counterparts than they had before.

Did the meeting serve its purpose? VVasit worth it? To all in attendance the answer comes back overwhelmingly, "Yes." \\'hat does this all 'mean to us as students of DMLC, and what does this mean to us as individuals? It means that now the time has corne when we must learn to exercise our Christian love and understanding. How about standing up for NVVC,our sister school, instead of being ready to believe every rumor we hear. One person's opinion should not be turned into a school policy. Let's live our ChristIan lives and tell ,that loudmouth next to us at the game to keep the cheering loud but wholesome. VVEmust work as a school, we must work as individuals because only then will the tension which has arisen be relieved, only then will relations improve.

VVhetherwe are at DMLC or at NVVCwe are all preparing to be ministers of .the VVord.VVeare all preparing to lead people to their Savior, which is the greatest goal we can have. Someday in searching for this goal we are going to become colleagues. Some day we are going to be working towards this goal together. VVhenwe think of the talent that exists on both campuses, we can't even begin to imagine what we can accomplish If only we work together. As a school let's do our part. As an individual, do yours.

VVelcometo the wonderful world of HINDsight. According to my calculations and observations we have been on campus for a little over a month (I'm not sure when this number will be published, you see) and we are celebrating two anniversaries this school year. First, during the year the bi-centennial of the U.S.A. is being commercialized, and a little closer to horne, we are observing the 91st anniversary of this institution.

For days, I've been trying to decide my topic for this opening Issue of HINDsight's second big season. Following a sleepless night, I received the inspiration (probably reading George Orwell's 1984for Prof. Bames was the cause). Inthe following paragraphs I should like to share that dream with you.

+ + + Irrunediately I knew I was in Greece. I'd recognize Mt. Olympus anywhere - especially with Prof. HartwIg welcoming all to VVesternHeritage III. I even remembered the course description from the "College Catalog": "The clvlllzation of the modem world examined In the light of social, intellectual and physical changes with special attention given to clarifying and elaborating upon the implications which received special attention." (VVulff, Backer, Glende, Buss, Schubkegel, Boemeke, Tague, Sievert). 1$024 credits.

Seated on the grassy knoll in groups of 10 or 15 were DMLC students, and in their midst (not in front, hidden behind lecterns, or perched upon their desks) were the instructors. At first I didn't recognize any of the profs - all wore the same white ground-length tunics and their heads were shaved (except for a little furry ring around the perimeter of the scalp). As I strolled unnoticed (all the students were over-awed by their instructors), I began to identify them.

In one place Prof. VVulffwas instructing his little group on the art of self-defense; I don't what else it could have been because he kept saying: "You wanna fiJUtt?" On the other side of path 1 noticed our football team. But something didn't qulte seem right. Prof.

Backer was leading the team in a pep rally. Someone called my name and I was surprised to see Prof. Glende leading a seminar on the peer relationships of children. Next to this groups all the couples from school were engrossed by a fascinating lecture from Prof. Buss. I stopped for only a moment, overwhelmed by his foresight.

Not too far away I noticed Prof. Boerneke giving a review on the book Body Language. Down another path and to the right I observed Prof. Schubkegel instructing, (only a guess) a course In etiquette. He kept repeating "clahss" again and again and again.

I noticed that Mr. Tague, now Prof. Tague, (I think, since he wore the the same white tunic as the rest of the profs), must have been giving a dissertation on the use of film and movies because he kept saying: "cut this ... cut that." , I finally arrived at the group Iknew I wouldn't be able to leave; Prof. Sievert was administering a calligraphy test. He handed me a sheet of college ruled paper and a pencil. "You're late, Schumacher!" was all the marl said. I began writing the alphabet, watching my upstrokes.

Could this have been a vision of 1984???

score 13-12. But Northwestern scored once more In the fourth quarter. The Lancers had two more chances In that fourth quarter, but one was stopped on a Dretske interception, and the other Ule Lancers ran out of downs with only 30seconds left on the clock. Both times Luther was inside Northwestern's twenty-yard line.

DMLC Is now 1-2 on the season.

Dr. Martin Luther College was defeated on September 20 by a much stronger, more experienced Bethel College team.

Bethel scored three times in the first quarter and twice more in the second to take a 33-0 halftime lead .. The Lancers finally got on the board in the third quarter when Bob Dretske hit Monte Huntington on a 45yard bomb. On the very next play Dretske connected with Jay Stonn for the five-yard score. Phil Boileau added the extra point. Bethel scored once more in the fourth quarter to make the final score 46-7..

Bethel had 460 yards total offense, while the Lancers could

Pastor Edgar Hoenecke, from San Diego, California, will be a guest speaker at the annual Mission Fair held on our campus Tuesday, November 18.

Pastor Hoenecke, executive secretary for the board for world missions, has taken time out from, his busy schedule to speak on "How our Synod Opens New World Missions." He will lay special emphasis on our most recent move into Colombia, South America, also telling us of the methods and goals for world missions. The need for learning other languages and the programs for guidance and support will also be discussed.

The fair, sponsored by the Collegiate Council, will begin at 8:00 a.m. Tuesday in the chapel auditorium, and end sometime in the afternoon. Juniors and seniors will be excused from classes for this event; all others

are invited to attend also.

Along with Pastor Hoenecke will be two other lecturers: Miss Kathy Shaw, a missionary nurse who served at Lusaka, Zambia, and Mary Johne, a .sopbomcre student whose father is a missionary in Japan.

Among the many points of interest will be slide 1t''''lIres, group participation in native songs, and a panel discussion headed by Peggy Bishop, Chairman of the mission committee.

The purpose of this Mission Fair is to make us aware of our

missions and the areas which we are currently engaged in. It will also give us experience as future teachers on how to conduct our own Mission F8!r in the Christian day school.

The booklet, "Grace for Grace," produced by the Synod about our current missions, will be available for $.25 after the session. A pamphlet is being prepared by students which will contain information about setting up Mission Fairs on the grade-school level. General information .about our mission work in foreign fields will also be included.

George M. Production George? George who? George M. - George M. Cohan George Michael Cohan, the Yankee Doodle Kid. Still don't know him? What if 1 were to mention •the song, "Give My Regards To Broadway," or "Yankee Doodle Dandy," or how about "You're A Grand Old Flag"? These songs are as American as apple pie, and the music and lyrics of these and all the songs in this year's musical were written by George Cohan, the man whose first stage entrance was on July 4, 1878- his birthdate. From that moment on, George's life was dedicated to making it big on Broadway.

George M., the production chosen to be presented on March 5, 6, 7, 1976, begins with an introduction of George Cohan. The time span covers the most important years of George's life, from 1878to 1937.

The story Is,George's life. The

plot involves George, his parents, his sister, his wife, his cast, the orchestra, the chorus, his defeats, his victories, his talents, his persistence, his never ending energy, and how all these factors helped him to make it to the greatest stage of all - Broadway.

From the beginning of the overture until the last note of the finale, George M. moves with such swiftness and such excitement that at the end of the performance you'll be breathless just from watching.

The catchy melodies and familiar lyrics will keep your feet tapping long after you've left the auditorium.

George M.is not your average musical because George Cohan was not an average guy..George M. demands and commands your attention. George M. may be the biggest and most exciting production DMLC will ever

have on its campus and if you don't take the opportunity to get involved, you'll be missing out on one of the best experiences of your life. Try-outs are coming up and 1 hope you're ready.

Even if you don't get a principal part or make it into the chorus (you know that not everyone can make it), 1 hope you won't miss out on the fun of being on a committee.

If you ever hear strains of "You're A Grand Old Flag" resounding in the halls or floating across campus, it'll probably be me and I'll warn you right now - don't try to shut me up or block me out. 1 won't be quiet about something as thrilling, as intoxicating, as sensational as George M. En· thusiasm is contagious, don't try to find a cure: get Involved!

Never A Dull Moment The emergency teacher has returned from his assignment.

He must now candidly answer the oft-asked question, "How did you like teaching?" This question never fails to draw a variety of answers, many times, however, it draws a rather short response, unless of course it is asked by a close friend. Then the answerer pours forth a series of events that will live .in the memory of the emergency teacher forever.

The very first day of teaching is without a doubt the most traumatic.

He may say, "Having emergency taught at the high school level, I had 2(}'25 new faces presented to me at regular 45-minute intervals. I never realized that I could become so exhausted from collecting class cards, pronouncing names, and handing out and reading through the course syllabi.

"The second day brought about another stiff test - my . first lecture. This may be best described by a well-known phrase, "Ready or not, here I

come." "Cool and collected" I walk into the lecture with three beautifully done 4 by 6 notecards, which contain the outline of an exactly 45-minute lecture. After twenty long minutes, I am at the end of my outline, and my wits. The usual pattern I might use would be to ask if there are any questions. I am about to utter this eagerly awaited phrase, when I begin to have second thoughts. Realizing I have just told them everything I knew about that topic, I stop short, and give them their assignment.

"As the days continue, I find my first hour class in an unusually good mood. My ego is bolstered. They must really like this class! Iturn to write on the board only to find caricatures of myself eovering it. It's 'lot all bad, though, They did remember to write 'Good morning.'

"Being fresh out of college, the students naturally expect me to be innovative. Not wanting to disappoint them too terribly, I planned some role-

It's Saturday night and half the student body is sitting in the Luther Memorial Union. At least half a dozen times an individual can hear someone pronounce how boring it is at Dr. Martin Luther College, or in New Ulm, or even in the whole state of Minnesota.

Students will then begin reca11ingthe "good times" they had in high school, and they wonder where those good times went and if they'll ever return. Too often, though, a person tends to remember only , the pleasant moments, whereas unhappy or dull ones are pushed back out of memory. Not every minute of every day in high school was a barrel of laughs; likewise, there will be some rather dull and routine moments in college. Also a student should remeniber that he is in college. If a person is going to compare, he should compare DMLCwith other colleges rather than with the high school he attended. If a person looks closely at DMLC in comparison to other colleges he will discover that he is indeed fortunate to be attending here.

Students at DMLC are blessed with a very beautiful campus.

They are confronted with a delicate blend of old and modern architecture from traditional OldMain to the fashionable library. The grass which was a beautiful green when students arrived in September is now blanketed with crisp fallen leaves. The trash and litter which decorates many college campuses is nearly nonexistent on this campus. And although students may not have the number of luxury items which larger colleges may have, they also don't have as many classmates with which to share the ones they do have.

One of the most pleasant aspects of life at DMLC is the type of students which attend, and the friendships which develop between them. At many larger colleges, a student will often feel more inhibited because of the vast number of new faces and surroundings. It will sometimes take months for an individual to make friends with fellow classmates. At DMLCmaking new friends is an easy matter.

An individual at DMLc also has the comfort of knowing that his classmates, if they remain faithful to the Lord, will be saved. It is a terrible feeling knowing that close friends, unless they change their religious beliefs, will not go to heaven. How does a person convince classmates who are atheists and agnostics that they are wrong, especially if they are in the majority? Attending a public college many students come into contact with problems like this.

Finally, students at DMLC can feel confident that they are receiving a goodeducation and a Christian one at that. They should appreciate the fact that they are able to learn the word of God and his will in all classes and not just in religion hours. Here students are able to learn the Scriptures and apply them to various topics in subjects such as science, history, and literature. Knowledge of this sort is impossible to receive at public institutions.

And though a person may get discouraged when it seems as if there are two papers due and three tests to take every other week, he should consider how he'll feel after graduation. When that individual is standing in front of twenty-five lively eight-year-olds for the very first time, he will feel a bit more confident, knowing he's been well prepared through his long hours of hard work.

Next time an individual starts getting frustrated and depressed with DMLC,he should stop and think. It may not be the most ideal place at times, but on an overall comparison with other colleges, he won't find many, if any, ranking above it. A person should just appreciate what is here; forget about what isn't; be content with what is and enjoy himself.

playing. Since we were studying the judicial system and in particular the penal system of the U.S., I had a trio re-enact a crime. The rest of the class was' to classify the type of crime, and sentence the criminal accordingly. The crime was as follows: two men are in the men's room at the bus station, freshening up after a long, hot trip. The victim has hung up his coat upon the coat rack (alias overhead projector) in the men's room. His wallet, containing $60, is partially visible in the pocket of his coat. As the victim brings the towel to his face, the criminal grabs the wallet and runs. At least that's the way it was supposed to be on paper.

In actuality, the criminal, instead of grabbing the wallet from the coat, grabbed the whole coat and ran.

This left the overhead in a most precarious position. Luckily the third of the trio, the policeman who was to arrest the fleeing criminal, arrested the flight of the overhead in mid-air, and the saved the green emergency teacher a great deal of explaining. " These events mayor may not be typical of the total experience of the emergency teaching situation, but the total experience can be summarized in the well-known' phrase, "never a dull moment."

I had a letter from a friend of mine last week. APparently, he's discovered the way of solving the collegiate's eternal problem writing letters. He set himself up a small print shop and he's literally making a fortune off his friends. You ask what great luck he's stumbled upon? A form letter. I've obtained the original copy and so if vou're interested (for a small fee) you may obtain as many copies of this wonder and life saver as you'd like.

Here is the letter. (Circle the appropriate choices.)

Greatidea, right? Well for just five cents a sheet this stationery can be yours. Just send your prepaid order to HINDsight Inc. DMLC Box 935, New Ulm, MN 56073. Who knows, the computer may send you a form letter back.

Help! I'm Scared' What is it? What is it? What is that certain feeling that enshrouds the whole body during certain gripping moments of fright? There is a name for it'l just as a title is given to love and hate, but something more must be included in this feeling besides a mere definition. How can that sickening, nauseating, tingly, bold, cold and freaky sensation be explained when those who have experience it can barely describe the sweet condition known as stage fright?

"Ten seconds to curtain, Miss W.Five seconds. Four. Threeyou're on Miss W!" EEEEEEECH! What's happening in my lungs, veins, arteries and heart? thought Miss Washer smile, glazed with glamour, nevertheless shot out a gorgeous grin to her adoring fans. Who let the air out of my deflating knees? she thought as she still somehow .managed to glide gracefully to center stage for a luxuriously low curtsy. Who's slicing my head with a sword? her thoughts continued as stage fright overcame her from within but clarity and artistry continued the audience from without.

Why is it that the most confident people on stage, like Miss W, experience inside, the exact opposite of how they appear on the outside? The performer may sweep a scene clean as far as the audience sees it, and yet tumble inside like a conked out washrnachine because of this mysteriously overwhelming phenomenon called stage fright.

Is it really fright or is it somethingmore? Perhaps it is the excitement of performing

an art plus the effort of pleasing a crowd, mingled with the hope of performing as well as one . knows how that brings forth the' feeling.

Even the famous ones go through the sweet torture of stage fright. It isn't that they are merely frightened. They are bull-dozed, clobbered and completely run over with this momentary sting of theatrical dazzle. This dazzle continually coaxes them to make a return appearance on stage, over and over again,' even though it means being hit again by the beastly bomb called stage fright. They have learned the art of taming the wild feeling which roars Within them at that first step before the audience.

They have learned to yoke the reoccuring beast of fright with their stage-conditioned confidence.

With experience, this feeling can be developed into an enjoyable hobby. It is to an actor, a "What can I do' with the feeling this time?" type of game, just as a canvas to an artist is a "What can I paint on you this time?" type of game.

What is it? What is any deeprooted, gripping and. aesthetic emotional feeling? Stage fright lurks everywhere and creeps into absolutely everyone who gives a real piece of his personality to another person.

Stage fright isn't restricted to actors. As far as we at DMLC are concerned, it is that frightening, yet memorable, traumatic, yet precious feeling that envelopes nearly every student teacher the enUre nine weeks he or she Is out in the field practice teaching.

What do you think when you hear the term schoo spirit? you picture yourself at an athletic contest yelling for your team? Do you imagine yourself at a pep rally drumming up support? Do you consider yellillg and cheering the only ways that you have to show your school spirit? Or does school spirit have other ways of expressing itself? Let's ask ourselves the important question, How do we show school spirit?

School spirit is not something that we can turn on or off at will.

It's something inside us that makes us want to do what we can for our school, but more important _it is that which makes us want to recognize the efforts of others put forth for our school. So far this year it seems as if some of this spirit has been lacking on our campus.

Athletic teams have experienced a lack of support at their games. Nowwe know that no athlete plays a sport to hear the crowd cheer. Any real athlete plays because he is a competitor who loves the game and plays for that reason only. An athlete shows his spirit by playing. Have those of us who are not on the teams shown our athletes our spirit by supporting them? This support is especially important when our teams are having a rough go of it. School spirit is needed to show our teams that we care whether they be winning or losing. .

School spirit goes beyond athletics. School spirit requires support for other groups on campus too. Weneed people to show the Drama Club or the Band or a choir that we appreciate their efforts.

All of the participants in these groups have also put in long hours of work. They are each deciated to their cause. They do it because they want to, and yet they still want and need to know that someone cares about them.

BothH~;eW~~sh~~~~~~=i~~~~=~to~: Collegiate Council is once again urging people to get involved, as spectator or as a participant. Sometimes such participation might require us to do something that we would rather not do. Let's cheer at the sports events even if we don't always understand what'S going on. Let's attend the perfonnances given on campus ~~~~!~~O~n~:n~~e:.h~;~sl~~Wh~::m~~~e:einh~~e:~! rearrange our priorities in order to help them. Maybe it is time that we begin to think of our school and our classmates before we think of ourselves. Isn't it about time that our school and its activities begin to rate a little higher on oUrlist? Of course we realize that it is not always possible that school functions rank first, but the surest way to develop a healthy school spirit is to get involved and to take pride in what you and others are doing for your school. Another way ...•to build spirit and pride Is by making your.lIChooland.its facUi\\ea--- ... something to be proud of.

One last thing that we can do is realize that others may nol have the same feelings as we have. When we realized and appreciate this, we shall try to get along and see the good in each other. OUr school is too small to be divided. A division in our school will separate the great store of talent on campus. Let's put our individual talents together and take our school to new heights. Get involved, apprectate other people's efforts; help the school spirit grow.

Because the Bloodmobile has quite a number of stops to make, it will not return to DMLC again until next fall.

Note This Concert On November 7 at 8:00, the DMLC Bands will have their first concert of the new year.

Among the several selections played by the Concert Band Ensemble 'will be Haydn's "Trumpet Concerto." James Grasby will be featured as the solo trumpet player.

The Symphonic Concert Band will play several selections which should be familiar as being themes from movies.

Among these is a medley of songs from West Side Story.

Remember, that's a band concert on November 7 at 8:00 in the DMLC ChapelAuditorium. Come for' an ev!lDingof listening enjoyment.

Something new was added to this year's Homecoming festivities.

A powder-puff football tournament was held between the girls of each of the four classes. To look at the freshman team one would have thought that they were vying for the Super Bowl title. The eventual champs had such great participation that they sported two different offensive and two different defensive units, not to mention specialty

A school pep rally was held Friday night in the LMU gymnasium. Spirits soared high with the enthusiastic crowd.

The pep band livened up the atmosphere, and laughter was abundant for a "Lancers are Superstars" skit and a "Pin the TaU on the Buffalo" contest.

Class officers donned patriotic costumes to lead their classes in original cheers, as part of the Homecoming class competltion.

Throughout the week, classes worked on their individual ~ floats and tried to garner more class points through par. ticipation in decorating the gym for Saturday's banquet. The

This year's parade route went down Minnesota St. and up 5th No., where it re-assembled at Highland Avenue to march onto the DMLCcampus. The Lancer marching band, drill team, and pom-pon girls led the contingent of various floats, club and faculty entries, the Lancer mascot, and a corps of marching freshmen under their sophomore drill sergeant. It reached its destination, the Lancer football bowl, in plenty of time' before the exciting· Lancer-Comet clash got underway, giving the Lancer fans ample time to fill the stands to capacity for a great Lancer victory.

College of Owatonna, Minnesota.

The sluggish Lancer offense was helped greatly by the stingy defense, which played tough football throughout the game.

Pillsbury scored their six points in the first quarter, when they were given new life on a roughing-the-kicker penalty.

They promptly marched 34 yards and capped the drive on a two-yard run. The defense dug in the rest of the day and held the Comets to a plus 109yards total offense. The Lancer offense was not totally without life in the first half, as Bob Dretske did march the team towards the goal line in the second quarter only to have touchdown passes slip through the arms of his receivers.

The Lancers finally put some points on the board early in t,he JOlU"th .quarter; w.hen Tom Mulinlx capped a 64-yard drive on two-yard run. Mulinix promptly scored again on the next Luther series, this time on a five-yard run. Dretske put the finishing touches on the victory, when he scampered 11yards for the final touchdown with less than two minutes left on the clock.

A lot of the credit has to go to the tough Lancer defense who played excellent hard hitting football all day long. The defense was led by Orv Breitkreutz, Dave Noack, Dave Eberhardt, and Bill Hartwig.

The Lancers are now 3-4 and have a chance of finishing .500 on the season when they play Concordia St. Paul next weekend.

Nobel Laureates

Hold Conference

It all began about 7 the morning of Oct. I, 1975when I lreakfast for the first time this year. The reason for this event? An even more historic one: The 1975Nobel Conference -

Rugland Assembly held at Gustavus Adolphus College, st. Peter, MN. This year's topic: "The Future of ScIence." It was the eleventh annual gathering since the conferences first began in 1965.The construction of Gustavus' AlfredNobelMemorial Hall of Science in 1963,Inaugurated the series of discussions which finally led to the "only formal Nobel program in the world outside of Sweden and Norway, where the prizes are awarded, to have the official blessing of the Nobel Foundation." Indeed Oct. I, 1975was a special morning for all deleeates involved.From DMLC,the faculty delegates were Prof. LeRoyBoerneke, Prof. John Paulsen, and Prof. Harold Yotter. Selected as student representatives to the conference were BillMundt, Kathy Pfeifer, Kay Schuppe, Jason Nelson and I, Paul Schumacher.

As we proceeded to ride in the comfort of the two autos used to get to St. Peter, no one realized how chilly the temperatures were that brisk autumn morning. It was only after we discovered that the main lectures were given in Gustavus' new Lund HockeyArena did we realize how cold it was. Forttmately the 4000people in attendance helped to take a little of the chill from the air and keep us from Retting frost bitten.

Arriving a little early, we spent the moment observing all the people, shivering, reading our programs, shivering and wondering what exactly would happen the next two days. This Nobel Prize Conference was a little different because the Aid Association for Lutherans and Walter L. Rugland (former President of AAL),were underwriting the costs of the conference and the special delegates (two from each Lutheran Junior and Senior Collegein the U.S.) As special delegates, Jason and Prof. Boerneke attended the Walter L. Rugland Assembly Dinner, Music in Christ Chapel and the Closing Dinner on Thursday.

This conference was the largest ever: thirty Nobel Laureates and six "theologianS" participated. .

The processional openedthe program withthe assistance of the robed Nobel Laureates. Following a short invocation, we were all welcomedby Dr. Edward Lindell, president of Gustavus Adolphus and the conferrer of honorary degrees.

The first speaker oUhe day was Dr. Glenn Seaborg (university of Calif. Berkeley) who talked on the topic "New Signposts for Science." The afternoon speaker was Dr. Polykarp Kusch (University of Texas-Dallas). His lecture was entitled "A Personal View of Science and the Future." Thursday's speakers were,Sir .

John Eccles (State Univ. of New York-Buffalo), and Dr. Langdon Gilkey (University of Ollcago-Divinity School). Their topics were entitled "The Brain-Mind Problem as a Frontier of Science" and "The Future of Science," respectively.

It would be difficult to explain our experience at the conference. I wouldlike, however, to give you a little taste of some of the more memorable lines which were spoken by the laureates and theologians. The followinglist is not meant to show a dialogue, but random statements made by the speakers. (See the descriptions below for more information on the speakers.)

SEABORG:"The last 25·30years havebeen a periodof exceptionalgrowth in science, not to be expected to continue.,. would not want such advancesIn the last quarter otthls century ... economicswill havea great effectonthe future of science... somewish to introducelegislationthat v.ouldrequire every research financed... to bereviewed by members of Congress...

Note the above comments, think on them and then review the Apostle's Creed, and stanza three of Hymn 473. I'm sure I can speak for all our delegates involvedthat we left the conference with a feeling of Sorrowfor the "most educated men in this land," who with all their knowledge, can't discern spiritual things. The educational experience of those first two days of Octoher was unbelievable. May we have more exposure to experiences such as this that we might become aware as to the present-day thinking of humanists, who deny God and His work of creation, preservation, and salvation.

Luther Netters Lose Close Ones D.M.L.C. VS. St. Cloud On October 9, the Lancerettes hosted St. Cloud in the Luther Memorial Union gymnasiwn.

An enthusiastic crowd cheered the Lancerettes on in two, closely-fought matches. The St. Cloud "six" however, came out on top in the first match taking the match 16-14and 15-11in a best of three series. 1n the first game the opposition, sparked on

by Kris Carlton's 10 serving points, squeaked by' Luther despite some Lancerette aggressi ve play and good serving. The second match was won by St. Cloud with scores of 15-12and 15-0,D.M.L.C. won the second game 15-13 behind the excellent serving of Pat York and Rachel Kaesmeyer. Coach Sue Post noted, "the games were close but we lacked team playing.

An essential in volleyball is unity; we must adjust to playing -as a team."

D.M.L.C. VB. Mankato On October IS, D.M.L.C.'s friendly rivalry with Mankato continued as the Mankato State team traveled to the Luther home court. The night proved to be partly successful as the Lancerettes split the matches, - winning the first match 15-8,5IS, and i5-3. Sophomore Rachel Kaesmeyer and Senior Carol Landry topped the statistics with 5 and 4 serving points respectively in the first game.

Carol Landry had six and Pat York four in the last second game.

Mankato State carne .back taking the next match, twa straight, 15-5and 15-13despite the fine playing of Pat York.

Mankato State won the "B" match in two of three garnes, with the scores reading 15-12. ~b Hewitt, a junior from

Saginaw, Michigan, paced D.M.L.C. with six points in the first game. Nancy Enter had top honors with eleven serves in the second game. Upcoming freshman Carol Buelow served five points in the final game.

D.M.L.C. vs.

Gustavus Adolphus Facing some well-fought, aggressi ve volleyball, the D.M.L.C. Lancerettes on Oct. 16 were downed by the unified force from GustavuS Adolphus

College. Gustavus, executing some well-placed spikes, won the first game of the match 15-7.

The second game was 10-4 for Gustavus Adolphus when Luther struck back with some "psyched up" volleyball.

D.M.L.C. ran off 1l straight points and forced a third aame with a 15-10victory. The fine serving of sophomore Ann Steffen and Senior Cindy Van Driessche helped to spur the Cont. on page 8 .

Lancerette8 Cindy Van Driessche, Pat York, and Kria Jeske display team work.

The First Game The team was set and ready to go The past half-hour went way too slow! . Nowall was set for the game to begin, Each teammate was hoping her team would win.

The play was begun- the ball was volleyed, One, two, three, and our team had rallied; Our ready team served a mighty Whack: But the other team just hint back; The action had started: suspense ran high; At the eight-minute time, score was 6 to 5; Our team had only a one-point lead, But we were determined we would succeed!

At the half-game point, each team too]; a break; Nowthe score was tough - eleven to eight.

Our team was behind. How could that be?

But we'd get ahead; just you wait and see!

Imaginative freshmen proclaim thelr Homecoming motto: "We' a Ue.,..,y!!;wry~Ute~ercry."

~t.en

Play began again; the excitement grew; Who'd win the game? We hoped we knew.

Miss Post cheered the team with encouragement strong: We'd win the game before too long!

Eight minutes to play - score was eleven tied, For a victory our team really tried!

Pat was serving; Joyce was to set The balls up high for Annie to get.

The serve was great- the ball came back, J.asea ga ve it a mighty whack!

It came again - our team was ready, Rach sent them a spike - good and steady; The ball hit the floor on the opposite side.

Their team missed it twice, though they'd really tried; Nowthe score was thirteen to eleven - our lead, For fan support there was a real need!

Game point came and went, thus ending the game; Our mighty team is heading toward fame!

Many more games still, have to be won, But for us girls, volleyball is fun! byJ.P .

DMLC scored first on a twoyard run by freshman Al Greschner. The Lancers added six more points in the first quarter, when Dave Voss rambled 25 yards with an interception. Southwest finally got on the scoreboard in the second quarter, but the Lancers also scored on a 15-yard pass from Bob Dretske to Jerry Warning. The Lancers led at halftime 18-1i.

In the third quarter, Dretske capped a fine Lancer drive with a two-yard run, and Luther led 24-6 at the end of the third quarter.

Then Southwest started to put things together and scored twice in the fourth quarter to make the score 24-22.

Southwest had three more chances, but an Orv Breitkreutz interception, a fine defensive stand on fourth down, and a pass just out of reach of a Southwest receiver, preserved the Lancers well deserved second victory.

Lancerettes; each. tallied 5 points.

The third game Gustavus ran up seven points for a 15-7 win and the first match.

Gustavus won the second match in two straight games, 15-9and 15-12.Ann Steffen led all the players with 6 points in the first game. Karen Draeger served five for Luther in the second.

The "B-bombers" fell prey to some fine play on the part of GAC. In general, Coach Post noted, "The main thing being stressed in our practices is the need for unity. It isn't that the sklll is not there, but it means a lot to be a team player -. One must have confidence in her fellow players and know her capabilities."

Coach Post further added, "With only a nucleus of four. girls from last year wbo saw a lot of action and the loss of Judy Wade, who Is student teaching, and four seniors, C. Hartwig, S. Griep, L. Thumme, and J. Schwartz, It takes time for the teamto get organized."

LANCERETTES DROP TWO On October 23 the Lancerettes traveled to the twin cities to

take on Augsburg College in a best of three series.

In the first match Augsburg, using their arsenal. of wellplaced spikes and serves, won 15-5 and 14-12 (time elapsed).

Serving standout for DMLCwas Karen Draeger, who tallied seven serving points.

In the second matchLuther fired back, taking the game easily 15-7 behind the fine serving of .reserve Pat York.

Carol Landry contributed four service points. Augsburg took the next two games, however,the scores reading 15-13 both games. Sophomore Ann Steffen contributed five points in the second game. Cindy Van Drlessche tallied up seven serving points in the final game.

The Dr. Martin Luther College "B" team was overpowered Thursday night, falling, 14-6, 15-4, 15-10to an aggressive Augsburg team. Deb Heinz and Deb Hewitt contributed 6 and 5 points respectively in the first game.

Inthe third game Luther fired up from a 1()'~score to 15-10but fell short as Augsburg tightened up -. Freshman .Carol Buelow took serving honors with seven points.

Coaches Look Ahead Ask Coach Gary Dallmann about the DMLC basketball team and he'll tell you exactly what he .thinks. He thinks they're going to have another winning season.

In spite of losing four starters from the team that was last year's MRAC tournament ~ctor, the Lancers display a surprising amount of bench strength to go along with a strong starting line-up. At center, 6'6" South Dakota sensation Rick Lohmiller has the inside track with lanky Brad Pleuss at 6'6" backing him up.

The forwards this year should 'be as good as anything DMLC has seen in several years. After a one year leave of absence Junior Greg Thiesfeldt is back again to prove once again he is of All-Conference caliber. At the other forward will be senior Kurt Seeger whose consistency and shooting has been a plug in the Lancer lineup the past few seasons. Tod Hauf and Ron Ohm should give strong reserve

help.

Captain Greg Hoffmari leads the guard corps along with sophomore Dick Huebner. If Greg can pick up where he ended last season, the Lancers should break off to a fast start.

Strong reserve help should come from junior Mike Mathwig and soph Riley Westphal.

Coach Dallmann and Coach Micheel have high expectations for this season. The area cited as needing most work is team speed, although Captain Hoffman and his running mate Dick Huebner should be very capable if they hold themselves to short distances.

Best freshman prospects are listed as Greg Schmill, Paul Bauer, and Jeff Davis.

The Lancers have already started practice in preparation for· their first game on November 15versus the alumni.

Following that they have one week in which to prepare for their conference opener against Minnesota Bible.

Recent Board Decisions On November 13 and 14, 1975, a group of seldom heralded but very important men met at DMLC to discuss "the state of the school." Of whom do we

though some feel this is unlikely; the school has indicated to the Accreditation Committee by its actions that it is definitely taking steps to correct the weaknesses found in ···thepresent' Il)'stem..!lbere-oare· financial problems involved in rectifying these weaknesses; many people, however, have responded generously to our need. The picture on accreditation: good!

When next something stupendous happens at DMLC, don't forget to mentally thank the behind-the-scenes men of the Board of Control, which rendered tremendous service to the college in the past and hopefully continues to do so in the future. .

'~~lol~~·t4111f~9~~:!!b~~a:,~~ Luther College! Once again bopefully begin functionally these behtnd-the-scenes "guidance counselors" spent several days examining the 140 pages of President Frey's report and making necessary, often difficult decisions conceming future' policy at DMLC. Every person in the administrative area here at the college must give a report on the activities of his division' thus the Board investigates many phases of campus life and management. For example, each year the Financial Aids Department disperses about $300,000 to.students in the form of direct or scholarship grants, federlilly funded grants and loans, and on-campus employment. Facts and figures concerning .tnts aid were presented to' the Board in November.

Members of the Board also discussed the projects of the DMLCLadies Auxiliary for the 1975-1976school year. Some of the projects which will definitely be implemented are drapes for Hillview Hall, choir stole~, and video-tape machines for student teaching. Through the years of its existence, the Auxiliary has raised between $60,000 and $70,000 for DMLC and MLA. Student suggestions are always appreciated, and any member of our campus family who spots a need for financial help should bring his idea to Prof. Brick.

The Board made several interesting decisions in the athletic department. First, Miss Susan Post was named Assistant Athletic Director at DMLC.Second, the members of the BoardoIll()vAA.~authorize a

Where does DMLC stand ID the process of accreditation?

This.was, of course, a question studied by the Board of Control at, its ~ovember meeting. At this POlDtDMLC has, acquired the status of candidate for accreditation, a big. step forward toward achievement.

However, the possibility still does exist that DMLC can be refused the accreditation,

Christmas

mt:RR1J CHRt sn Bethlehem, 4 B.C.

Dear Father and Mother,

Greetings from your shepherding son. I know this letter is several weeks overdue. Tlberius is so far from here, and I knew of no one going your way until Mark John had to return .toh.issi~~ wife • in Capernaum. I hope you didn't detain him long WIth mquines of me. I am well; in fact, my parents, I am full of good news. I have • seen a sight here in this humble town that elevates its importance a hundred fold. Perhaps Ishould start at the beginning though.

Have the rumors reached Tlberius yet concerning the birth of a son of a carpenter named Joseph and his young wife, Mary? If they • haven't, I am surprised, because all of Judea talks of nothing else. I even had a letter from a friend in Samaria asking me what was all this commotion about shepherds speaking with angels and kneeling • before a baby in a manger. He wondered if perhaps some of us had taken wine up into the hills with us. He was joking, of course, and so he will probably be surprised at my answer. It is all true, parents! ~epherds abiding with their flocks by night were met by an • angelic host, and I was one of them!

How can I describe it? I and several other shepherds were • sitting on the hill, drowsy with the smell of sheep and their soft rustlings and bleatings flowing around us, when I heard Lucus behind me gasp sharply. I do not remember looking up, but suddenly my eyes were poured full of white light; and the angel of the Lord came down upon us. He was terrible and beautiful. I felt a • great fear and a great joy surge through me.

He told us the news we Jews have waited for for centuries. The • promise God made to Abraham, is finally being fulfilled, my parents! Our Messiah has come! The angel said, "Fear not: for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is ChrIst the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger."

Before we could recover ourselves, a multitude of heavenly host joined the angel. The whole night was full of their glorious voices praising God and saying, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men."

After they departed, we stared silently, our eyes trying to penetrate the utter darkness that had closed behind them. A sadness filled me until I remembered the reason for their visit. I turned to Lucus, an older and simple man with whom I often talk during the long nights, and whispered, "He's come, Lucus."

The wrinkled shepherd smiled, "Did you doubt He would, my son'?"

"Are we ready for Him though?"

"He is ready for us; that's what matters. Do you want to go see Him?" Icouldn't restrain myself; I shouted, "Yes, Lucus, of course I

•

do."

So all of us who had seen the sight left our flocks and hurried into town. Bethlehem was crowded because of the census. Music and merrymaking poured out of the opened doorways that we passed, but we had no ears for such. Each time we came to a stable we searched for the young family the angels had told us about.

Finally, behind one particularly boisterous inn, we saw them.

The girl was very young indeed; and her tired eyes would not leave the face of her son lying.in his splintered bed. Joseph stood a little apart, proud and smiling. He greeted us when we neared, without surprise. It was as if he thought it only natural for us to come to see this child on a cold night, to bowdown and worship Him because He would be our Saviour, because He was the Son of the Living God. Wedid not stay long. Wedid not need to: we had seen enough to convince us that here indeed was a holy thing. The mother smiled at us sweetly when we thanked her for letting us see Him, but she said, "Thank God, shepherds. It is He who has given us all the opportunity. " Father, Mother, Iam leaving tbe hills of Bethlehem for awhile.

I am going with Lucus into all of Judea to tell people of what I personally have seen and'heard concerning the Christ child. You may not hear from me for awhile, but don't worry. I am in God's safekeeping. I wish you too could have seen Jesus, for that is the name given Him; but something tells me you may yet do so. Afterall, it was prophesied (Numbers 6:2) that He would be called a Nazarene, and Nazareth is not far from Tlberlus. He has made a lasting effect on my life already. Pray that the people will accept what Lucus and I tell them as truth, my parents. I feel it will be of • great importance to them and to all the world. I must close now.

Greet my sisters with a holy kiss. May the peace of God be upon • you.

Your son, R.O.

"0 Holy Night" ~e sat in the rocking chair slowly rocking back and forth.

The pine-scented candle on the table next to her burned lower and lower as it shed its wavering light on the greyhaired woman next to it. The table had been a wedding present from her mother (was she really gone these twenty years already) and the afghan on her lap had been made by her only daughter, now twenty-one, and just married a year and having presented her recently with a brand new grandchild.

Susan had wanted the baby to be born on Christmas, but it didn't happen quite that way.

Susan ... even now if she listened very closely she could hear the giggling on the stairs.

"Susan, did Mommy really get us each a new truck?" Billy whispered. Billy, Bobby, Mark, Jeff, and Susan all had crouched on the landing, staring through the railing for almost half an hour. Up until now they had stared in silence at the scene before them. Since they had gone to bed, the Christmas tree - tinseled and sparkling for aimost a week now - had sprouted the long-awaited presents.

"Ssh!" Susan warned. "I wasn't supposed to say anything; Mommy made me promise. I wonder if she bought me that new doll I wanted."

It was that Chrlsmas the woman knew she'd always remember, one of the happiest she'd ever known. Susan had just turned eight and learned how to use a sewing machine; Jeff was seven and already taller than Susan; Billy and Bobby were four; and Mark was two-and-one-half. Oh, how their eyes all sparkled when they looked at the lovely tree.

Yes, that was the best Christmas. All the children

x

were still young enough to enjoy it as only children can, She remembered then how Mark had suddenly started crying, and that's what made the children's presence known.

What he started crying about no one ever found out, but the only thing that would caim him was hot chocolate and cookies. So hot chocolate and cookies it was - all around. Then Jeff had said, "Daddy, can we sing Christmas carols? I learned 'Silent Night' in school last week." So they all sang "Silent Night" - all except Mark who was too busy eating cookies.

Billy and Bobby didn't know all the words, but they sang anyway.

Then Susan asked her father to play some more carols on the piano so that he and her mother could sing for them. Since all ' the children enjoyed listening to their parents sing, it was gladly agreed on by all. About halfway through "What Child Is This" the mother suddenly realized the children must have been sound asleep for about the past half hour. They had just been singing the songs to themselves and God. Then suddenly the hall clock donged midnight.

"Merry Christmas, Mary," the father whispered.

"Merry Christmas," the mother I epUed. And as they smiled into each other's eyes, their love filled the whole bouse.

Yes, that really was the best Christmas, the woman thought, rocking back and forth in her chair. Her hand reached up to brush away a tear she hadn't known was there.

Now Susan's married and has a family of her own, Jeff's out with the girl he met in college last term, Billy and Bobby are at a party somewhere across town, and Mark's practicing guitar upstairs.

And yet somehow a little piece of that one extra-special Christmas still lingers tonight, she thought. But it's only a memory. ' Then, coming from somewhere upstairs she heard a strong tenor voice beginsinging "0 Holy Night" - her favorite carol. And then she knew what it was that lingered from that just-remembered Christmas through till now. It

was the love, that sometimes illusive and often intangible thing called love. And as her husband came into the room' singing that beloved carol, she blew out the candle and pulled open the drapes on the front window.

They stood side by side Staring out at the stars and snow for a long time. After awhile he bent down low, and whispered in her ear, "Merry Christmas, Mary," and she turned toward him. Their silver heads stayed together for a long time until finally she said, "You know, Jim, this -Is the best Christmas of all because we have all those wonderful memories, our family, and each other." And the love that they felt filled the whole house.

, As D-day approaches, January 26, I've been contemplating (worrying) about that infamous quarter that everyone looks forward to with awe, called student teaching. Idiscovered after a few moments of thought that Ireally didn't know much about what was going to happen to me during those nine weeks other than Iwas to practice teaching. Mter diligent research through stacks of papers, memos, calendars, and other collected items Ifound my "College Catalog" lost these past three months. Quickly Ileafed through the pages until I found the section entitled COURSES OF INSTRUCTION: DIVISION OF EDUCATION. CourseS: TEACHINGSTUDENTS. 85credlt& "An overtime traumatic experience in co-operating Lutheran Elementary Schools during nine weeks of the senior's professional semester (the other one is called "confessional"). It is to afford the student a preview of what might come; to provide the student with ample opportunity to witness student behavior in action. An ultimate goal of the course is to provide incidents in which the student may learn and become endowed with semi-effective teaching behavior through trial and error, fear and trembling and if at first you don't succeed ..... It is the. testing ground for each year's graduating class."

Slightly dismayed by this coarse description, I sought out a first quarter teacher and asked for some helpful hints as to what I might expect during third quarter. I was presented a list of "TIPS". They are presented in condensed form below.

1) Supplies needed: - ..Timer: to limit baths' to¡five-4Dinutes~d-< bathroom usage to seven.

Others wish to use the room, you know.

Also so that' you are not tardy to meals.

Emily Post's Book of EtIquette: learn your table manners fast; they may have gotten rusty eating in the cafeteria these past years.

"Comet" - for removal of that dirty bathtub rir.g. You want your hosts to think you're cultured, don't you?

Maid - to keep your room tidy.

~~"

~A," â&#x20AC;˘

2) Things forbidden:

snacks, soft or alcoholic beverages, excessive use of the telephone, TV, or living room. Remember you're there to work you don't have time for anything else.

3) Oath of office obedience.

Monastic vow of poverty, chastity and

4) Duties:

Let the dog out of the house when you come in.

Remove your shoes if you enter after 10p.m, (you might disturb the church mice).

Put your pajamas in the drawer marked pajamas.

5) Wearing apparel:

for men: black suit, tie and white shirt and socks, early 60's hairstyles will do fine. for women: knee-length skirts, turtleneck sweaters.

Mter skimmingthis list of "tips" Iwas almost ready to give !IP before Istarted and then Iwas informed that It was for only nine weeks (someone had tried to tell me once that student teaching lasted a lifetime), and Iwas assured of the following statistics: 99 out of every 100 student teachers remain sane 99 out of every 100 who remain sane, pass student teaching 99 out of every 100 who remain sane and pass student teaching receive calls. ' 99 out of every 100 who remain sane, pass student teaching and receive calls, teach for more than one year.

Lancer Classic Proves Exciting Northwestern 56 Lancers 4h Brad (Big Thunder) Pleuss made a lot of noise against Northwestern Friday night, but not quite enough as Luther lost 56-48. Big Thunder had nine blocked shots and two broken plays to lead the tough defense played by the Lancers. The Watertown team had been averaging close to 100points a game when they met the Lancers and were held to only 56. Big Thunder was voted "Defensive Player of the Game" by his teammates.

The Lancers.started great, and after the first ten minutes, they were leading by a score of 16to 7. Greg Hoffman and Kurt Seeger each had aix points. In the last ten minutes of the first half Northwestern outscored the Lancers 14 to 8 but still trailed 24 to 21.

The Lancers returned as cold to the court after halftime as they were before they left. They scored only nine points In the first ten minutes of the second half while Northwestern, led by aruce McKenneys' ten points, scored 18 and took the lead.

The Lancers tried hard to regain the lead In the final ten minutes of the game but their attempt fell eight points short as they lost 56 to 48.

Greg Hoffman led the Lancer scoring with 14 points; Rick LDhmiller added nine. Greg Thlesfeldt, who had a dismal shooting night, led the team with nine rebounds.

Big Thunder grabbed eight boards.

Leading the team In assists was Jeff Davis with only three.

The Lancers played hard and really wanted to beat North. western but their efforts fell short. The Lancer fans were treated to a great but disappointing game.

Lancers 72 MInnesota Bible College 46 Saturday night the Lancer Classic continued as the Lancers met the Royals of MInnesota Bible College In the fight for third place. Luther was easily victorious by a score of 72 to 46.

The Lancers scored a total of 72 points on only 36 per cent of their shots. Twelve players aided In the scoring, with Kurt

(TrIgger) Seeger and Dynamite Dick Huebner leading the way with 13 points apiece. Greg Hoffman added 12points before fouling out with 11¡ minutes remaining In the game.

But defense again was the key to the game. While the Lancers hit only 36 per cent of their shots; the Royals, because of the tough Lancer defense, shot a poor 28 percent.

The Lancers never were threatened and easily won third place In the Lancer Classic.

Kurt Seeger, our smallest forward, led the team with ten rebounds. Dick Huebner dished out six assists. Dynamite Dick also blocked one shot, had eight broken plays and two steals to be voted Defensive Player of the game. The Lancers now face a tough conference schedule and hope to win the championship. In order to win the championship the Lancers will need a lot of defense and fan support.

The championship game peovided much excitement for the fans when Bethany beat Northwestern College of Watertown se to 60.

Young Grapplers Fire Up On December 5, Dr. MartIn Luther College held a triple dual wrestling match. The participating teams were Bethany of Mankato, Northwestern of Rosevll1e, Northwestern of Watertown, and our own DMLC Lancers.

In the first round, Bethany totally out-wrestled Northwestern of Watertown, as they piled up thirty-nine points to the Trojans twelve. The Lancer wrestlers won their first round match with a thirtythree to twelve victory over Northwestern of Roseville.

DMLC victories came at 134 lbs., Fred Luehring (forfeit); 142lbs., Dan Gibson (1~7); 150 lbs., Bill Whitney (15-2); 158 Ills., AI Greschner (4-0) ; 167 lbs., Craig Winkler (7-1); 177 lbs., Glen Ebeling (forfeit); and 190lbs., Gary Baln (forfeit). '. The second round found

Bethany winning again, this time by a thirty-two to twenty score over Northwestern of Roseville. The most exciting dual team match of the afternoon had to be between the synod's two sister schools. The Lancers started out with losses at 126Ills. and 134lbs., but then Gibson (6-1); Whitney (PIn); Greschner (6.0); and Winkler (3-0) strung together four straight victories to take a fifteen to twelve lead. But the Trojans won the next three weight classes and took a twenty-eight to fifteen victory over our DMLC wrestlers.

In the, third round Northwestern of Watertown defeated Northwestern of Roseville thirty-three to twentyone. The Lancers wrestled Bethany, and probably gave them the best team competition all afternoon. The Lancers

comments concerning the upcoming season, "We feel that the potential is definitely not lacking; yet with only two players from last year's squad providing an anchor for the team, we must strive to feel comfortable playing together.

At this point we are still thinking through each movement and it must become more natural."

After only one day's practice, the Lancerettes traveled to Mankato State where they trounced the opposition 71-35In a pre-season scrimmage. Coach Post also added, however, that the stickiest competition would come from the University of MInnesota and Mankato State.

The following is the 1975-1976 Lancerette roster:

"We should have a fine Lancerette 'A' squad In the upcoming season, with the loss of only one senior, Karyl Kelly, and with two seniors, Carol Landry and Cindy Van Driessche, practice-teaching this year," sald Coach Barb Leopold, looking ahead to another basketball season.

"The girls have played together and have a good amount of experience; now we must make everything 'click'," she added further.

The main things being stressed Inpractices are getting the defense as the core, not only the defensive zone but also manlo-man (woman-lo-woman?) guarding.

Miss Sue Post who is taking the reins of the "B" squad this season made the following

suffered a tough thirty to twenty-one loss. The Lancer victories were by Gibson (8-2), Greschner (Pin), Winkler (PIn), and Baln (forfeit).

Coaches Paulsen and Gorsline had to be very pleased with their young wrestlers' efforts. They had to be especially pleased with their middle weight classes. Gibson, Whitney, Greschner, and Winkler lost only once all afternoon, that was Whitney's loss to Bethany. Of these four, Greschner and Winkler were most impressive. Greschner was not scored upon all afternoon, and Winkler only had one point scored against him.

With a lot of hard work and effort the Lancers will defmltely be In the running for the conference championship, and certainly that has to be pleasing to Coaches Paulsen and Gorsline.

What are the girls at Dr. Martin Luther College thinking as the calendar approaches February 14? There are basically three types of girls abiding on this campus. There are those contented souls with a boyfriend on campus. There are the girls who have been unable to convince their boyfriends to attend this fa bulous institution with them. Then there are those with the longing eyes, possessing a boyfriend neither near or far. All three types will have different thoughts and feelings as Saint Valentine's Day nears.

Girls. with. boyfr,iends on cmnpilJl' "lIt-re' having sweet and flowery thoughts as Valei1tine's Day arrives. They will be anticipating a small fivepound box of chocolates or two dozen red roses. If they are the average girl, who would gain five pounds of weight for every pound of candy she eats, they are probably hoping 'for the roses. Of course, if the guy

wouldn't mind missing dinner in the cafeteria for once, the girl wouldn't object to being wined and dined with a seven-course meal.

Those girls with a sweetheart dwelling a great distance from here, will be wanting to hear from him. They will be expecting a mushy letter in reply to the one they sent him. There will probably be many with long faces until they discover that coveted letter in their mailbox.

Other girls will be eagerly waiting for the telephone to ring. Their heart will jump every time the phone rings as they wait and listen to find out if the call is from that special someone. Girls who hear from their boyfriend will reveal their good news by their happy faces covered with broad grins. In fact, it may seem that half the female population is auditioning for a toothpaste commercial.

Those girls without a boyfriend will be hoping for a slight miracle. They will wish

for nothing more than for Cupid to appear with his bag of arrows and then aim them at some fantastic looking guy. This guy would then, in turn, sweep them off their feet and carry them off into the sunset. Realistically, they would settle for just being able to talk with that guy who has been giving them butterflies since their first days of college.

Summing it all up, the average girl will be thinking about nothing more and nothing less than men. Be they near or far or even imaginary, men will be dominating the "vibes" flowing through Hillview and Highland.

This year our country is celebratlDg Itir200th birthday. Since this is an experience of a lifetime,: thli :Colleglate Council had decided that the theme for this year's Snow CarnIval wUi. be "American Landmarks." . - .

The festivities will offiCially ~.ori Thursday, Februilry.12, when the queen candidates will be announced, This announcement will take place after the women's basketball game. The junior class has chosen seven candidates to run for this year's Snow Carnival Queen. They are KathyFl1lI1er, Heddy Haar, KIm Kenyon, Karen Krueger, Laura Nitz, Tracy ~ewe, and CIndy Zalm.

Sunday afternoon, at 1:00, the toboggan races will be held on Hermann Hill. Following this exciting event, skating races will be held at the hockey rink. _.. ..

Dress rehearsal times ha,ve beiln:provideci.to.allow each class to practice performing' its skit; ThIs will t_ake place on Monday, February 16, beginning at 7:30. With due. consideration to all students attending classes, Tuesday' night is free from activity so they may further their head-knowledge.

The highlight of Wednesday nlght.is the skit and queen competition. Each class will present one ten to.fifteen.mlnute skit; all are to pertain to the theme. The queen candidates will also provide additional entertainment. Thursday night hu been set aside for everyone to catch up on sleep and studying. . .

Friday night, February 20, is the night set aside for speclal entertainment. The "KIDS" will not be performing this year, but the show could be the best yet. The chorus from George M will provide an entertaining preview of that show by perfurmlng several of their songs. A special feature will be "The Spazz Ensemble" from Northwestern College. The excitement will continue to build until one lucky girl Is pronounced Snow Carnival Queen for 1976.The entertainment and the pageantry should be missed by no one.

On Saturday, the festivities begin lrIght and early with broom hockey at 8:00 a.m. ThIs is followed by the judging of the snow sculptures at noon. At half-tlme of the buckets game, the queen and her court will judge the beard-growing contest. Since nine men have entered, It should prove to be qulte a competition. The queen will announce the winners of the vartous events and present the awards and prizes following the game. After this, everyone is cordially invited to the auditorium to experience the thrill of an outdoor adventure in the movie, RIDI Wnd, Run Free.

Snow Carnival 1976 can be something that will always be remembered, but only if each contributes to make It that way.-

I feel that any student who graduates from Dr. Martin Luther College should be able to play a hymn at least well enough to accompany a classroom of children. There are undoubtedly people who will disagree with me on this point, but I stand firmiy behind my belief. After I have given my reasons for the way that I feel, maybe some of my opponents will begin to see what I'm driving at.

Many times I have heard this statement: "Some of us just don't have any natural musical ability; we can't play piano."

This seems rather ridiculous to me. Most people aren't born musicians, just as they aren't born scientists or star athletes.

Prowess in any field is acquired; we have to put our minds to something and sweat a little in order to learn to do anything well. If a person has an honest desire to learn how to do something, he will succeed sooner or later. He may not become the world's' greatest virtuoso in his field, but he will succeed to a certain degree.

This applies to just about everything, whether It be scholastic, athletic,' or musical.

If a person puts his mind to learning how to swim well, he will. It takes quite a bit of practice, but it can be done. The same goes for playing piano. If someone wants to learn, really waDts to, he can do it.

Another statement I've heard is this: "Learning to play the piano takes too long; there's not enough time." This complaint is totally unfounded as far as I'm concerned. In learning to play the piano, most people need approximately one to two years . of instructions. Basic lessons are not that intensive and can be handled easily by nearly any student. These several years of easy lessons are usually enough to give anyone the ability to at least play hymns. A few years of lessons and practices is 8 small price to pay for the countless advantages provided for later on in life.

Now there is one point I'd like to make. As OlrJstian day school teachers we have two duties to perform. It's our duty to provide our puplls with the education and knowledge necessary to get along in the world. But besides just teaching reading, writing, and arithmetic, we have a much more important job to do. It is our Christian duty to tell our puplls of our Savior and His love for us, and to lead them in praising His name. What better way is there to do this than to sing of His love and to sing His praises?

In order to lead children in song onemust have a certain amount of musical background. If a person can play the hymns along with the singing, it adds unity and quality to. the music. cont. on pg. 4

Take this example from my own experience: as a child I had a teacher who couldn't play hymnsoranyUrlngeise;hejwrt couldn't play the piano at all.

Somehow we managed to get along, but not many of us were too enthusiastic about singing loudly when we didn't know for sure If we were singing the right notes. As a result, many of my fonner schoolmates stI11 dislike singing. This is a terrible waste and an awful shame, They don't know what a wonderful feeling it is to sing out God's praises.

They have never experienced the thrill of singing a master· piece. such as. Handel's "Hallelujah Chorus'" or' 'J.' S. Bach's "All Breathing LIfe." The joy that comes from just opening up and singing with your whole being simply can't be compared with anything else on earth. I hate to think of anyone's missing out on such an experience because he never leamed to love singing as a child.

I guess I've made my point as well as I'm able to do so. Being

_,Well, What'sDm£y~ur OpiniOIi?'·wm Jeans are the "in thing'! among teenagers today. Young and old people alike are wearing jeans for almost every occasion. At one time, jeans were grubby pants worn while doing dirty chores or camping in the hills. Now jeans art: even worn at fancy parties. If jeans are so commonly worn today, why aren't they accepted as proper dresS for a school day at DMLC? Students often argue that jeans are more comfortable and more relaxing than "pants.

Being comfortable in jeans is just 8 way·of thinking or all in a person's head. We have been raised to believe that jeans are comfortable. In reality they are no more comfortable -than any other pair of pants. One can relax just as much in h pair. of corduroy "Levi's" as we can in "Levi" jeans. The only difference between the two types of pants Is in the type of material they are made of.

They are cut and sewn the ssme way.

iii the lIewgreenhouse,

The tomato plants looked terrible; withered aIld having a sickly shade of green, they sat in a Biology; classroom of DMLC.But that is the.past, for, nowthey sit in a healthful state in a more natural habitat only one story above' the Biology classroom.

Up all of the _A.C. stairs closest to Old Main there is a doorleading to the attic, and far 'b!lck in the attic and up some more stairs there is a long and narrow room (33' x 7W'). It isn't a classroom as such, but it is a place where future botany students will gather to learn things like how to grow tomatoes. properly. Science students, .. professors, and outsiders are giving time, effort, and money to'complete this high-up-in-the-air greenhouse.

On a laZYSaturday afternoon, - three friends anal climbed the A.C. stairs to look at' the' greenhouse. Just as we. began ascending the last few steps; a slight man in . gray flannel. trousers bustled in and looked at us questioningly. He told us the science department was not ready for visitors to see the greenhouse yet. :'. , Ah, I surmised, this must be Professor Swantz, the man whom I was supposed to interview. I had planned to contact him later for our talk, but what better place to talk than 'right here where.he could show me the 'greenhouse's

"I'm supposed to do a story for the Mes~eDger on the greenhouse, sir," I said. . He smiled, and we were led inside.

There is so much of interest about this small, humid room. which doesn't seem like a room at all; perhapsthat is .because its ceiling and right wall is' . made up of sheets. of glass.

Professors Paulsen and Swantz put up the glass sheets over Christmas vacation this year, and the biology class scraped the putty material from the edges. Amazingly, the' curved sheets of glass (20" x 26'~)needed to join the slanting ceiling to the right wall, each, cost $11.00, since they had to be perfectly fitted to the existing aluminum frame. Mr. Szaspo from Stillwater donated material while the Ladies Auxiliary donated $1500, put Prof.. Swantz estimates the entire cost of the greenhouse's , construction to be $4;000.

Several times in our talk, Prof. Swantz stressed the almost limitless room for plants in the seemingly limited space.

He showed us a peg board for hangingplants. Highshelves for the sun·loving plants and low shelves for the shade-loving plants will be built along the

glass wall_ Then seven istands downthe length of~heroom will provide work, areas for the students with their plants. .

I have no fear that any of these plants will ever get chilly.

Since the left wall is brick, it soaks ,up the sun's warmth during tIjl; day and gives it off during the cooler night. :tWo large fans blow in excess heat from the building. Fur-" thermore, at each section there Will be four four-footfluorescent lights; and little motors built by .the Physics, classes could give light automatically to the plants without anyone's being present.

Already ordered is a device for controlling the hwnidity in the room, the presence of which we all were feeling as we prepared . to leave the greenhouse. Drops of perspiration rolled down my back.

To satisfy our curiosity, Prof.

Swantz checked the thermometers. Outside, t1ie temperature was 12degrees. Inside, in the center of the room, it was 102 degrees.. No wonder those tomato plants are thriving!

The Science Department also hopes to build a platform on the A.C. roof to the right of the greenhouse, accessible through another _ door in the greenhouse's entrance way. On this platform, telescopes could have unobstructed views of tlie stars. This project is not yet funded.

We at DMLC wasn't In any flurry over Snow Carnival week. In fact there was no snow to speak of at all. This .dldn't stop 'anyone from enjoying the. activities which began February 12 and .cQllotinued through the 21st. Many students became Involved In the happenings, especially In class competitions .. Midwinter boredom seemed' to diminish' with the Snow Carnival fun.

The activities began with an introduction of the queen candidates. This took place Thursday, February 12, after a Lancerette basketball game.

The 1976queen candidates were Kathy Fillner, Hedy Haar, KIm Kenyon, Karen Krueger, Laura' Nltz, Tracy Priewe, and Cindl Zahn. The seven junior girls, dressed up as hearts, recited, a poem briefly describing each girl. Between verses each gave a personality sketch of one of the others. They revealed to the audience everything from their favorite foods to their most embarrassing I]loments.

Ice skating and toboggan races had been planned for Sunday, Feb. 15: Because of mushy ice and a definite lack'of snow, these were cancelled..

This was 'unfortunate since many studenti had been eagerly awaiting them. All one could do was hope for a blizzard so that snow sculptures would lie possible.

fhe M.C.s Jane Camp~ll arid Bill Whitney liven up the Friday night Queen Coronation. the audience. Each class put on .a skit. Class participation was one of the areas upon which they were judged, and the seniors, whO had the -wlnning skit, Incorporated many Indlviduals Into theirs. It Involved short short comedy scenes from the signing of the Declaration of lndependence, the Battle of Bunker Hill, and Lincoln's Gettysburg Address.

The' sophomores finished a close second In the skit competition; the juniors took third and the fres!Unen, fourth. The queen" candidates also performed a sltit. Their skit was well . received as they portrayed wives of notable as well' as notorious. men of the Revolutionary War. One of the last events of the night was the- professor situations. Each candidate drew, from a hat, a problem situation with a professor. She was then to place herself In this situation and try verbally to squirm out of It. Karen Krileger fOll1!dherself facing an upset Dean Huebner after she' supposedly pushed his new car over a hill.

In the men's - championship contest, Steve Beilke's' team competed' against Steve Schultz's team. It was a rough and challenging contest thllt went into two overtime periods.; Mark Ricke made the only goal late in the second overtime period a hard shot high into the net, it just got by the goalie. In the women's championship game, it was Lorraine Banick's team defeating Cathy Westerhaus's team one to nothing. This also was a .close game with .Cathy's team keeping the r.lIther flat

This year made it obvious that a snow carnival can be fun even without snow. Thllt doesn't mean, though, that we won't all be wishing for snow come next year's Snow Carnival.

Yes, spring is definitely here. '!bere are different ways to tell. '!be tennis courts are doing a great business; winter coats are being shed tor spring jackets, classroom windows ate beingopened to let the spring air in and the canned radiator heat out, and thoughts of more and more seniors are drifting from curriculum, ,confessions, Worship, and History and Philosophy to D-Day, Call Night.

Unfortunately, there is another way one can tell spring is here: the snow has melted leaving brown grass Whichis beirig'scarred by inconsiderate DMLCand MLAresidents. Walking on any sidewalk and coming to an Intersection, It takes but a glance to the left and to the right - to the lawn on either ·slde - to see the effects of thoughtless cross-cutters. . , . We just don't know how to walk on the sidewalks. It has been happening all year long through leaves and then through snow. And so with the arrival of spring it still continues: cutting corned, taking shortcuts to different buildings, displaying that some people are still in their childhood and UKE to walk In the mud.

So,who cares?·There are quite a few who do: Consider how the grass looks right now and then consider how it will look in about a month when it does green out. There won't.be anything left to green out. The campus will end up with criss-crossing trails, mud holes, and areas that look like open sores. Visitors to our campus will wonder whether we lost our sense of direction.

There is another area to consider: dust and mud. When this ,gets tracked into the bUildingsit creates nothingbut a big problem for the jailitorial staff and others who also have to walk through it.

It means extra sweepmg and ,wet mopping, changing the mop heads more often, extra wax coats, and perhaps .added cost in maintenance. .. .....'.

Dr. Fleischer Lectures In the afternoon and evening of April 28 DMLC students and faculty were privileged to hear Dr. Heinrich Fleischer give a two-part lecture on techniques of organ playing.

Dr. Fleischer's name is well known to organists in our churches since he prepared the preludes in Tbe Parish Organist. He is an authority on the life and music of Bach and teaches and edits the music of classical composers at the University of MInnesota.

Dr. Fleischer's lecture was on preparing to practice and practicing. He gave several.

steps which should be followed when preparing· to practice.

Many of these steps our teachers here on campus have also told us. Several of these steps are know the piece musically, that is, know the moods, dynamics, form, etc; write in the articulation; find solutions for common notes, notes played by both hands at the same time; lecide which hand plays what part; figure out and write in fingering and pedaling; and play the piece several times. Without this preparation, practice is a waste of time.

Colombian Mission Effort Discussed On Tuesday May 11, Professor Olsen delivered a brief lecture. on Colombia, South America. Professor Olsen had previously received a call to Colombia for the purpose of organizing and developing a seminary there. To aid him in his important decision, he did a little research on Colombia and our synod's mission there •.

Professor Olsen had his lecture divided into three parts: the country, the city, and the church.

Most people realize that Colombia is in South America, but some people aren't aware of its exact location. As Professor Olsen pointed out it is in the northeast corner of South America, bordered by Brazil, Peru, and Equador on the south, and VenezueJa and Panama to the east. A country noted for its cities, it also has many areas of unexplored jungle. It has a total population of over 100,000. The largest city is Bogota, the capital: the second largest is Medellin, the city where we have our mission. Colombia is mainly supported by its agriculture, coffee being the chief product, but it also has a large textile industry. The population of Colombia is a mixture of whites, Indians: and mulattos.

Spanish' Is the national language, although the Indians in the jungle areas speak a different language.

The city of Medellin, where

we have our mission is fairly modern. As the industrial capital, Medellin is graced with many bi!! buiJdiru!s. It is also the .orchid capital, with over seven thousand varieties in bloom at all times. Like all large cities, it has its problems with crime, more notably thievery.

Alcoholism also plagues the city.

Ninety-eight percent of the inhabitants of Colombia are Catholic, but only' ten percent attend church regularly. Still, most people are endeared to the Catholic Church. It also has a strong influence on the government. In fact, government taxes help support Catholic schools and hospitals.

Several years ago the Wisconsin Synod sent an exploratory team to South America. They decided Medellin would be the most ideal place for a mission. In 1974, two pastors and a teacher were sent to this city of two million people. Our church there presently has 118 souls with eighteen communicant members.

Our missionaries there are trying to carry out the synod's indigenous plan of placing nationals in charge of foreign missions. A Bible institute has been started with four men presently enrolled. A fourth missionary is needed to organize and run this institution. Because all lessons have to be written and then

__ DMLC Messenger

letter to the Ed ltor.

A somewhat disturbing article appeared In the April 7, 1976 DMLC Messenger. The particular article entitled, "In Defense of Jeans" was not disturbing so much because it defended wearing denim jeans (presumably to class), but because of the underlying attitude it conveyed. The article spoke of what we Christians ought to be concerned with, yet it did not mention the fact that Christians are very much concerned with the image and the attitude that they' present before the world. That concern

shows itSelf In the manner ln which we write college newspaper articles as well as In the clothes we wear. Whether it be laziness, rebelliousness, slovenliness, t-want-to-be-meness, freedom, rights,., what have you; they all crumble into unimportance before the throne of God. For we are bought with a price; we are not our own to do as we please provided there isn't a law against it. Our Christian freedom is tempered

by Christian love. Yes, love does dictate how we run our lives, and that law of love

As the year rolls around and comes to a close, it is once again time for the annual HIndsight Awards. These awards given for excellence In a given area are presented each year at this time by a select committee of people from this campus community. All decislons of the judge are final and explanations are unnecessary.

The Hindsight Awards have a remarkable past history (but we won't go Into that here - such enjoyable tidbits of information should be left up to the discretion of the history department especially Prof. Levorson.) DMLC is Indeed a good institution to have the Hindsight Awards presented because, as we all know, it is the only place In the world where Central Standard Time began one hour late and Daylight Slivings Time began two hours early. This year the awards are given In the followingcategories: 'I1IE HINDSIGHT MUSIC AWARD To the people In the belcived music department who select June Night music.

'I1IE ACROBATAWARD To Karl Tague a.,d Krue for balancing the Budget In the cafeteria. Runner-up: U.S. Post Office and the 13cstamp.

'I1IE HINDSIGHT HUMlLlTY AWARD For the Biggest admission on the part of any student on this campus: To Jim Moeller for his memorable statement: "I don't know eve'rything."

'I1IE 'I1IEATRE AWARD To an overnight celebrity for his her performance on a DMLC stage; Tigger and Grover (College Christmas Party 1975).

'I1IE HINDSIGHT DEXTERlTY AWARD Given to (a) person(s) who show extreme efficiency in hislher job: To Pinkerton, Hank and all left-handed people.

'I1IE HINDSIGHT OF 'I1IE YEAR AWARD Presented annually to the biggest Hindsight of the year: To all the residents of Summit Hall Annex, (all those squirrels and chipmunks over there!)

At this time also, the Hindsight Committee. nominates the following courses to be Instituted into the curriculum for the 1976-1977school year.

Theoretical Specifics In Lesson Planning (1 credit) A supplementary course to all the basic educatio .• courses so that instructors may teach teaching the subject rather than teaching lesson planning. (ie. Religion, Music, Reading) Instructor: Sievert.

Philosophical Foundations of Seating Arrangements (1 credit) A much needed course, defining the principles of good seating arrangements and how creativity may be used in such arrangements. (ie. hanging from ceilings, elevated desks, etc.)

Instructor: Wessel.

Perspectives In DiScipline (1 credit) A coveted course of all those who have student taught. Supplementary to other courses this creative approach will instruct the student in the hows and whys of using such discipline techniques as the thumb screw, gallows, stocks, ball and chain, and cat 0' nine tails. Instructor: Isch.

Analysis of Our Society (1 credit) A study of the real world of lions to which all will eventually be thrown. Case studies, video lessons, field work and lecture. Instructor: Staff (Each professor will conduct one lesson In the course of the year.)

NOTE: The courses are listed in the order in which students will take them. One per year beginning with the freshman year.

begins with Him Who is the source of love. That beginning is found in Paul's admonition: "Whether therefore ye eat or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God." Often you will find that doing things to the glory of God will entail trying to make a good impression on other people, beginning with the clothes we wear and passing on to include the feelings in the heart. Why? - That the Gospel, which you are here to boldly proclaim, might not be hindered.

Yes, I hear you, and I agree; you can wear blue jeans to the glory of God. I read you right too. "Clothes do not make a man's heart Christian or heathen." Yet the reverse is also true. The heart has an influence on and even controls, what we say, what we do, how we do it, and what we wear.

Therefore, taking all this into consideration, Iwould not spend money I didn't have on expensive clothes. For then I would be glorifying self and not God. Nor would I wear blue jeans in the classroom (regardless of which side of the desk I am on) because it would not preach what is in my heart; it would not redound tothe giory of God. There is danger of falling into the fallacy of thinking that dressing up is hypocritical, that we are then pretending to be something that we are not, that we are trying to set ourselves above others. For if we apply this 'idea as 'a broad general assumption, we are then heading toward the idea that the only real me is a sinful me, and I shouldn't try to present myself as anything else.

We Christians have been freed from the Law to walk in the light. Walk in that light.

Mary has been singing as long as she can remember (probably even longer!) and first became interested in performing for audiences while a freshman at' Wisconsin Lutheran High School. It was there that Prof Schubkegel, then director of choirs at the high school, en" couraged her to get some vocal training, and she wound up taking lessons for four years.

Her program for the recital consisted of two parts. The first ' (cont. on p. 4)

The 197:>-1976 school year at DMLC has shown its concern to celebrate our nation's Bicentennial. Or haven't you noticed?

Almost every activity on campus and some special events have given the school year a bicentennial flavor. You don't remember?

Let me refresh your memory.

Drama Club gave us a real red, white, and blue musical 'In George M!. We had the First John Plii1ipSousa Memorial Band on campus for a stirring performance. Band concerts, organ' recitals, and other musical presentations often featured American music.

The Homecoming decorations, the Snow Carnival theme, the essay contest, specially painted fire hydrants, the banner in the Chapel, June Night music - the list of activities and projects centering on our nation's 200th.birthday is endless.

Who is responsible for this refreshingly patriotic school year?

Our Bicentennial Committee, which began its work and planning in , the 1974-1975school year and continued through the present one. here receives a well-deserved pat on the back. This committee urged organizations to give each campus activity a bicentennial touch. Credit should be given to this hard-working committee Ior its efforts.

Collegiate Council worked together with the Bicentennial Committee in planning this year's Spring Activity, scheduled for Sunday, May 16th. A special, fun-filled day was prepared, with an unusual Carnival-like atmosphere. A watermelon-eating contest, hog calling, a fashion show, croquet, a fishpond, grass bowling, a potato sack race, and pie throwing were some features of an event enjoyed by all.

Other events and activities sponsored by Collegiate Council at the time of this writing: elections were in process for Collegiate Council officers and senior representatives.

Spring banquet will be held on May 22at 6:30p.m,

Lancers Battle Through Tough Season 11 Dordt COU09&I , 3DMLCO

The Lancer baseball team opened their' season with two non-conference games against Dordt College in Iowa. The weather was cold and dreary.

The second game was close and went into extra innings before the Lancers fell.

1 St. Paul Bible 0 5DMLC8

The Lancers began their conference schedule with two games against St. Paul Bible. In the first game, Don Groth pitched six innings and gave up one unearned run to pick up tbe victory. Paul Bauer pitched the seventh inning and struck out the side. The team scored in the first inning when,Dick Huebner got hit by the pitch to lead off the game. Dick went to second on a ground out and then scored, on a single by Don Groth.

In the second game the Lancer bats were even more alive as they scored eight runs.

The first run was scored in the second inning, when with bases loaded, Dean Zemple took one for the team. (He was hit by the pitch to force in a run.) The , third inning the team scored again on a double by Thiesfeldt and a single by Ron "Boomer" Ohm. The Lancers continued their scoring in the fifth inning when five' men crossed the plate. They added another run in the sixth for the final score of 8-0. __ ' 3 COncordia7 9DMLC4

The team traveled to Concordia where they continued in their winning ways, .... for the first game. Don Groth pitched the victory, giving up 4 hits and striking out 10. None, of Concordia's 3 runs were earned.

The runs for the Lancers were scored in the first three and the last innings. Monte Huntington hit a home run for the first run.

Dick Huebner collected 2 hits anil drove in 3 runs. Ron Ohm and Paul Tess also had 2 hits each.

'The second game was a heartbreaker.

Dick Huebner scored in the first inning when, with bases loaded, Paul Tess received a walk. The Lancers led 1.0. Concordia came back, however, to lead 4-1 in the fourth inning. The Lancers ,kept fighting and scored in the fourth

With 2 walks and an error to make the score 4-3. In the top of the sixth, the team again scored on a Concordia error.

With Greg Thiesfeldt pitching, the game went into extra innings. The Lancers failed to score in the top half,of the eight.

10 the bottom half the bottom fell out. The first man up singled. Greg retired the second man he faced but the third man again singled. With men on first and third and only one out, the outfield and infield drew in. The batter hit tbe second pitch to him for a home run and the game was over. Luther's record stood at 3-1.

7North Central I ODMLCO

The team then played North Central at home and had even more difficulty. The bats just weren't working. In two games the team had 5 hits. Greg Thiesfeldt pitched a fine second game but he had no runs scored to help him.

4 Northwestern 4 2DMLC5

Northwestern jumped off to a fast start in the first game scoring 3runs in the first inning.

After striking out the first batter, Don Groth tried to field a line drive to the mound but was hit in the mouth, the wound required 14 stitches.. Mark Tacke came on to pitch and after getting out of the first inning did a really fine job.

The second game was pitched

by Greg Thiesfeldt who gave up only one earned run, yet Northwestern had a total of 4 runs and almost beat the Lancers because .of errors. The team trailing 4-1 in the sixth, their bats came alive. Three straight singles by Ron Ohm, Paul Tess, and Greg Thiesfeldt produced a run. Then a walk to Jeff Inniger loaded the bases and D. Groth stepped to the plate to pinch-hit for Tim rumple. He singled in a run and Leo Frese drove in another With a sacrifice fly to center field. The fourth run of

The next team to suffer defeat at the hands of the Luther team was St. Paul Bible. In the first game everything went right.

The Lancers had 13 hits in the game which ended after 5 innings because of the ten-run rule. D. Groth started and pitched two innings after which he was removed so he could also start the second game. Mark Tacke finished the game and got the victory. St. Paul Bible had 2 hits as a team.

D. Groth again started the second .game and pitched five innings, giving up two unearned runs. Paul Tess finished the game and pitched well, not giving up any hits during his two innings. The bats continued to ring but not as loud. Paul Tess went 2 for 3 and Dick Huebner went 2 for 4.

Unda Walling presented a French Baroque organ mass on Thursday, May 13. This piece was Nicolas Antoine LeBegue's "Organ Mass in the First Tone." Jeff Hugo was the cantor. Miss Walling also lectured on this mass. LeBegue was the court organist for the French King Louis XIV in 1678.

This presentation was part of the requirements of Miss Walling's Organ Course Three.

Miss Walling will be graduating this spring and will probably receive a call which involves music in some way. Everyone will miss her and her music next year.

Tennis Team Takes Second This year's DMLC tennis team has won only one out of seven dual tennis matches so far. That lone victory came on April 29 when the Lancers defeated North Central Bible College from the Twin Cities.

But on May 7th (singles) and on May 9th (doubles) the MRCC tennis tournament was held in the Twin Cities. The Lancers took second place behind Concordia St. Paul. In singles competition, number one and two men, Joel and Jason Nelson, were ousted in the first round. Then number three man, Dave Sellnow, took the conference championship in his division. He defeated his man

from Concordia St. Paul in three sets. Number four, Rich Siegler, number five, Lee Boerneke, and number six, Chris Hatke, all took second places. Siegler and Hatke lost to Concordia and Boerneke to St. Paul Bible. After the singles competition, the Lancers were in second place, trailing Concordia by four points.

10 competition on May 9th, our number one and two doubles teams were defeated in the first round. The number three doubles team of Lee-Boerneke and Chris Hatke took second place, again losing out to Concordia.

Although the Lancer tennis season was not a complete success, a lot of credit has to be given to the determination and total effort these men put forth in all of their matches.

Tote Those Leaves!

DMLCChoirmade history as they sang on the Capitol steps.

Choir Tour (cont. from p. 1), Jersey! (Bet the people in NJ are surprised, too!) Drove past New York, catching glimpses of the Statue of Uberty, the UN, and the huge harbor with its wharfs and gigantic ships. Sang at Falls Church, VA. Many goverment employees make up the membership there. Hosts drove many of their guests up to see D.C. by night, which is really awesome, to say the least.

Thursday 4-15 The choir toured D.C. by light, seeing such famous places as Arlington Cemetery, Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the impressive changing of the guard, JFK's grave (except for Norm), Lincoln Memorial, Washington Monument, the reflectmg poor, Jefferson Memorial, and the cherry trees.

History was made on the capital steps as DMLC sang to VIP's.

(Well, they looked important ... ) Sang at West Newton, PA, another new church.

Friday 4-16 Pittsburg was our stop for the morning: we saw much of it while lost (sometimes 2 and 3 times). Wetoured Fort Pitt, and the University of Pittsburg's Cathedral of Learning. Various

history subjects are taught in rooms reflecting the time period and decor. Our first taste of being homesick hit us when we visited the German room, and were reminded of "home."

We sang in Columbus, a memorable experience for all involved. The independent congregation was to vote on joining our synod shortly after we left.

Saturday 4-17 The choir toured German Village before the rush hour, in fact, even before it opened. We sang in Monroe and Plymouth.

Once again, Norm had problems and missed several concerts. By now, everyone was wondering to whom the eyeball awards would be given, and the competition was getting tougher.

Sunday 4-18 Easter "Everybody up, it's 4 a.m."

We sang at sunrise service in Westland, then pushed on to St. Joseph. After a nice meal went to South Haven, a small resort town located in southern Michigan.

Former choir members enjoyed familiar songs. The last concert was at Niles, IL. Everybody was now exhausted and looking forward to getting off the bus.

Monday 4-19 Back to New Ulm, yea! The highlight and culmination of the tour ¡was the hour-long first annual "T of the Tour" award program, in which various awards were presented by the judges: Jeff, Willard, James H, and Chris. After all the nominations were announced for each category, choir members voted and winners were announced. The results were as follows. Female T: Sue Westerhaus for dignity and grace in tripping and falling flat on her face. Male T: Cowboyfor catching his gown on a riser and performing spastic movements.

T on bus: Jim Holman for his sighting of the Empire State Building. TopT: Cowboy. Prof.

Zahn got lst runner-up for forgetting his music and not paying attenting during "Crown Him." Female eyeballer: Cindi Zahn. Male eyeballer: John Campbell.

Despite all the long hours on the bus and the grumbling, it was a truly rewarding experience. We made new friends wherever we went, and were always received warmly. Our thanks go to all who were involved in arranging this trip and took us into their homes.

The morning of Tuesday, April 6, .dawned bright and clear, and soon the welcome news was all over campus. It was Arbor Day. After an early chapel, the crews of people going to professors' houses and working on campus were announced.

Chip Rupnow, student supervisor, reports that the entire campus was fairly well covered by the work crews. Luther Hollow especially was done more thoroughly than it has been past years. One crew even weeded around the bowl. This area is very inviting for picnics now, and will be even more inviting after the stone fireplace is completed this spring.

After a 'picnic lunch, the afternoon games started. This has come to be a time of extra studying for some students, but this year's games were pretty well attended. The freshmen won the over-all competition.

Several new ideas we're implemented this Arbor Day. One concerns the break. In past years the crews all gathered behind the dining hall for the break. This meant a lot of

CBE Goes to the Cities On May 4, the Concert Band Ensemble had a big day ahead of them. They loaded the bus at 6:45 a.m. and set out for their first destination, Pilgrim, Lutheran School in Minneapolis. The band played a concert of American music which was well received by the approximately 225 people present, most of whom were grade school students.

The band then made a hasty stop at Kugler's Museum of Instruments. The members saw and played some of over lOOO instruments from almost every era, Then it was on to Emanuel Lutheran Church in St. Paul, where the band performed before 175people. The ladies of the congregation prepared a special potluck supper for the band, An evening concert was then performed in West st. Paul with the St. Croix Crusader Band.

standing in line and time spent walking there if one's crew was quite far away. This year the food came to the crews. Two trucks brought brownies and orange juice to the crews. This not only saved time by avoiding long lines, but allowed the crews to relax right where they were working.

Another new idea involved planting a tree. In many places Arbor Day is a time for planting trees. A renewed tradition of the junior class' planting a tree was started this year. The tree is to be a type that is not on campus presently. The junior class planted a longleaf linden tree, a type of basswood, near Hillview Dorm.

A softball game usually played on Memorial Day was played instead on Arbor Day. This was the annual battle between the women's softball team and the faculty team. The faculty won again this year.

Arbor Day seemed to be an enjoyable day for all, even though a lot of hard work was involved. The campus is fresh and clean, ready for all spring activities.

played at the beginning and at the end, with St. Croix's band playing several numbers in between, to preview their full concert on May 14.

The band's last stop was at Farrel's Ice Cream Parlor for a late ice cream snack before heading home after a tiring but very fulfilling day.

Vocal Recital (cont. from p. 2) was made up of art songs and .semi-classical numbers from the 18th and 19th centuries, and the second part was music from Broadway shows, Marv said she was especially excited about doing a medley of Noel Coward music, which was arranged by .one of her girlfriends.

It's obvious that Mary is very much rewarded by her singing; it makes her happy to make others happy.

Incredible Find:

It seems Just a littie bit unusuafto be writing my final words as editor. It has been an unusual two and a half years. I still remember the night In February, 1974, that I was told I was the head man and that I had to have the March Issue down to the ]rinters In two days. Since I didn't know any of the layout staff I laid out that eight page Issue all by myself. If you want to see a disaster In print, check Volume M of the DMLC Messenger, Number 5.

Next year a bright young lass from Mobridge, South Dakota, will be taking over as editor. She Is Mary WUdeand already she and Cathy Cares, the newlayout editor, are discussing Ideas that should Improve this paper quite a bit. Perhaps, after two and a half years, this paper does need a woman's touch.

I wouldlike to thank the writing, layout, Circulation, business, and editorial staffs for their great work over these last Issues. They have been fantastic people to work with. My very special thanks goesto SueLenz. For the last two years she has been my right-hand "per8On"doinga lot ofthe dirty work and receiving little credit for . It. Oneofthe fringe benefits of working as editor was to get to l!now Prof. C. J. Trapp, our advisor, who suffered these last years from boundlessoptimism. It Is this optimism that really kept everything going.

'We hope you enJoy this June Issue.

But what I did learn lowe to a group of men and womenthat will always hold a special place within me In years to come. This group Is called "The Faculty." Money, land holdings, and buDdingsdo not mske a college. It Is the people behind It and within It. I've enJoyed every one of them, some more than others, and at this time I would like to thank some of those that I really think deserve It. They have helped shape and mold an individual both inside their c1assroom and outside. They have my undying gratitude.

Prof. Zahn - how I ever made College Choir as a freshman I'll never know. But he taught me a love for choral music as a sermon In 8Ong,the story of salvation.

Prof. Huebner - when I needed aomeone to talk to, he was there.

When I needed advice and counseling he gave It tome.

Prof. Backer - For three years he listened to my attempts to play the organ correctly. I butchered Buxtehude, botched the Bach, and mutUated the Mendelsaohn. And he came Into every lesson smiling.

Prof. Buss and Prof. Levorsen - my version of Tweedle-dum and Tweedle-dee.I'll remember them more for what they taught me outside the classrJ19mwhich I greatly appreciated.

Prof. Swantz - he likes nowers; I like flowers. I like to hear lokes; he knows how to tell them.

There are others to mention: Prof. Sievert and Dr. Barnes for two of the education courses I enJoyed the most. And Prof Dallmann for attempting to teach me the forward roll. Well, at least he tried. I even thank Prof. Gorslinefor having us run the mOe In freshman phy. ed., although I didn't thank him then. When I'll think ofProf. Brick I'll immediately think of three choir tours. And thanks to Mr. Hermanson for teaching me how to construct a minor scale.

Lastly, the highlight of four years at DMLC was student teaching. Thanks to the. seventh and eighth grades of Redeemer Lutheran School, Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, for acting like the . average, run-of-tbe-millseventh and eighth grade class. I still have a lot ofmy hair and all of It didn't get gray. Thanks to Tom Koepsell for turning over his classroom for the experiment of the century, for teaching me to teach, and being there whenI needed him.

I'm going to miss this place.

The 3~year-old Wisconsin Synod was stunned when It received news that archeologistshad unearthed what was once the synod's teachertraining college. The discovery came as archeologists continued to unearth the little town of New Ulm, covered when Center Hill, overlooking the city, erupted - an unknown volcano at the time.

The Synod's school, Dr. Martin Luther Convent, (previously known as Dr. Martin Luther College) was foundto be In exactly the same condition as Pompeii when Mt. Vesuviuscovered the town with lava. As the scientists went from building to buildingon the campus, they found the people had been preserved for 175 years, giving them an idea of what llfe was like on campus in the year 1976 when the volcano erupted unexpectedly.

Prof. Paulsen was found in a heap on top of the administration buDding with his telescope, apparently knocked out by a flying cinder from the volcano. Prof. Swant. was discovered in the greenhouse, comforting his plants about the impending disaster, but secretly hoping to collect some lava soil for future botanical experiments. Prof. Heckman was found pointing out to his students on the Minnesota map how far the volcano would spread, before they were all entombed In the geography room. Prof. Levoraon's lavaencrusted tie was found in his box in the faculty lounge, the only remaining proof of his existence. A pillar of salt was discoveredin the hallway, some observors postulating that its short stature and bristly top were evidence of Prof. Morton Schroeder.

Prof. WDbrecht was found in the art room, making a charcoal drawing of the eruption.

The lava flowed so rapidly around the basement of the building that he was cut off from escape. The archelogists discovered Prof. Wulff in his famous "You wanna fight?" pose, apparently unwilling to "go down with the lecture" without some sort of struggle.

CO~C~CONCERT Prelude to Commencement Concert.

Prof. Fischer divulged he had dreams of a mission in Arizona calling him, but instead he ended up in Michigan. He felt he didn't know enough. Sound familiar? Prof. Schroeder had wanted to be a Christian Day School teacher since the seventh grade and so felt Ilia call to be a culmination of all Ilia hopes and dreams. Having skipped eighth grade because his school had had none, he began teaching at the young age of nineteen. (The course at D.M.L.C.was oneof three years in those days.)

By the next year, when Prof.

GeorgeHeckmann, President of his Student Body, was graduated, the class had not increased, being only twentyone in number; but then only some did not receive calls. The distribution room. was still Room 113, but the distribution was held after the graduation service.

And now we make a big leap to the year 1958, when two younger professors; Prof.

LeRoy Levorson and Prof.

Edward Meyer, received their calls.

In the Excelsior, Prof. Leverson- is hailed as being "An understanding individualist, , ," and so he is an individualist. In contrast to the others, he was not at schoolat the time his call came through but at a P.T.A. meeting in Milwaukee. He said, "I appreciated the fact that I was alone when I received the call." He doesn't like "too much ballyhoo." The aloneness gave him lip opportunity to bow Ilia, head and thank God then and there and ask for guidance. ' TheExcelsior described Prof.

Meyer as "always good for a laugh,. .Dtaltk e s 'eager beavers' over large assignmenta." This humorous young man felt a certain uneasiness during his call night. There had been an extreme teacher shortage, so little worry existed in that direction. Mter the Dean of Student's prayer and brief address in Room 113, Prof.

Meyer felt overwhelmed by the

responsibillties and Ilia' own inadequacy.

Ten years later a young lady by the name of Susan Post graduated with a class of around 120. Everything had changed. Call Night was held in the gymnasium; it was more formal, like a church service.

Her call sent her to St. John's in Two Rivers, Wisconsin, wbere she taught grade six and coached softball.

Every young person mentloned above met his call differently, but mosi all had faith ",

that God was directing their lives and what He had in store for them would be the best. In 1976, all those graduating will receive calls, perhaps not all to where they couid wish to go, but they will receive them. In their reception, may they be joyful, and humble, and find the peace that God has promised them.

Maythey not be too caught up in the formality and in the excitement ofthe moment to say a prayer of praise and thanksgiving to the Giver of all Good Things.

Dear Fellow Students, I've started this "farewell" letter five times. Each time I have crumpled up an Inadequate beginning In frustration. Ills traditional and expectable that upon graduation, the seniorsbequeathto the rest of the students some fitting Impressionsbern out of IoI!r years of experience. (This Is where the aum~ingstarted.) i've come TO realize that it·ls Impossible for me to speek fer all of my classmates In this regard. Nothing I could write would adequatelycommunicate the variety of reactions which seniors display at graduation. No doubt there are SighSof relief, feelings of regret, tears of sentimentality, and laughsof loyful triumph. The various combinations and diversity of theseemotionsdefy being reducedinto a convenientlyexpressed oenerallzallon.

Therefore I thOUghtIt bestto concentrateon some commonexperiencesIn our college careers which have significance Independentof our Individual reactions and feelings. I hope that trom reviewing these experiences, we seniorscan reach a consensusIn appreciating them, and vau that follow can perhaps find some new appreciations In vaur college lives. These ex· perlencesare recresentedby somevery significant numbers In the college life of the class of 1976.

The number 4 represents our class and the four completed years at D.M.L.C. If we reflect upon thoseyears,we can recall a variety of memories and recollections. We can see ourselves mature from elderly children to youngadults. And thoughthrough thesefour years our numbers diminished somewhat, our lives were enriched by the growing sense of purpose our educationwas giving us. That Is the most significant aspect of those four vears, we have been preparedfor the Lord's work.

The next significant number Is 90. Ninety represents our school, Dr. Martin Luther College.Many 'of us had the privilege of celebrating the 90th Anniversary of our school.Thoughwe may havegrown weary of someof Its outward manifestations In the 1974·75schOOlyear, we cannot deny Its value.

The Godwhom we hava preparedto serve has been gracious to our school.

Wehaveenloyeda campusthat Is more than adequateIn Its facilities and In theopportunitiesthat It gives Its students.BIIt God'sgrace Is not only evident In the physical plant of this Institution, but also In the dedicated, Christian peoplewho administer, educate,and perform other duties at this school.The purposeof D.M.L.C. Is God'spurpose.and His peopleare carrying It out to tha best of their ability.

The number 125 representsoUr church, the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod.While on this campus, tha Class of 1976 also had the opportunlty to obserVethe 1251h Anniversary of our church. Ours Is a church which our gracious Lord brought out of error, and Into,whose hands He has placed His pure Word. We Intend to enter the ministry of this church. The spiritual well being of Its children will beour responsibility as they are entrusted to our classrooms.For 125 years Godhas preserved His truth among us. we can beconfidentof HIscontinuedgrace In our time.

There is little doubt that the day of graduation from college Is a very important day in the life of a youngperson.After spending.. years In college doing lntenstve studying. a vast amount of reading and research, writing compositions and examinations, preparing reports and term papers, a studentcannothelp but count the days to the time v.tten his work Is flnlsited and, having satisflctorlly completed his work, Is about to receive his diploma and the degree that accompaniessuch a diploma In pursuit of his intendedgoal.

For students at DMLC, graduation Is also a very Important day. It carries with it the anticipation and loy that Is part of completing a program of studywhich Qualiliesthem for their God-ordalnedDOSitlons In life.

But at DMLC, It seems that arother day Is very Important to seniorsand perhapseven lookedtorward to with greater anticipation. That Is tha day on which they learn of the placeof their assignmentInto the teaching ministry.

Wecall It "CALL NIGHT". In addition to the seniors,family andfriends are all vitally InterestedIn where they will be askedto serve their Lord In the teachingministry. Will they be asSignedto teach nelr their home town, In their homestate,or many miles from Herne?Will theirs bea oneroom school in a small community or a classroomIn a large school?Will they serve In a mission conoregatlon, perhaps even begin a new scbool, or will they find themselvesIn a well establishedcongregationand school?Will they haveto concernthemselveswith organ, choir, band, or physical educatlenwork in addition to their teaching? There Is no doubt that thesequestionsand many merebuild up an anticipation beyondall others. HOwever,aboveall of these outward things,Important as they are, the real reasonthe OMLCseniorsare filled with lev andanticipation Is that they know their life's v.ork Is about to begin,a work centeredin the pr.ivllege of being an ambassadorfor Christ, of bringing the messageof forgivenessand salvation through the Saviorto the very ones He loves so dearly.

KnOwingandfully appreciating what the Lord Jesushas donefor them, they stand ready to serve their Lord 'NhereverHe 'M)uld have them serve, trusting that their particular talents will be put to their best use In the place the AssignmentCommissionof the Synod,serving underthe guidanceof the HOlySpirit, has directed them. .

They know that wherever they go, In whatever situation they will find themselves,they will beserving Him who hasSlid "Feed My Lambs". SUch faith andtrust, suchconviction Isevidententhe part of the class of '76as can be seenfrom the motto chosenby theclass.As they are ebcut to learn of their assignmentand later take upthat calling, they are comforted by the words of their motto, "Be strong and of good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God Is with thee whithersoever thou goest."

(Joshua 1,9). Many peopleof the v.orld do not understand the process tnvolvedin theassignmentof calls. That thereare many anxieties.yes perhaps even fears In the hearts and minds of the seniors, is not'difflcult to understand.They knowandwe know' that we are all humans•.Thequestionmay arise, "Why am I assignedto_thisplaceor that? Whyam I asked to perform certain duties that may not perfectly agree with my thinking?" But as graduates of DMLC, as Christ's redeemed children, they rise above all doubts and fearsi they have no reasonto doubt, no reason to fret or even become upset, for the Lord Himself through Joshua reminds them, "Be strong and of goodcourage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed; for the Lord thy GodIswith theewhithersoeverthougoest." (Joshua1,9).
