"While You Were Away"

by Cathy Starke Staff Writer Things at DMLC this fall are not what they were last spring. The area between Centennral Dorm and the main entrance road has been one big mud pit and the library is metarnorphisrzinq Into a larger, red brick structure.

Professor Morton Schroeder showed highlights of these and other processes of change in his presentation "Vvhile You Were Away" on September 16. In his role as tustonan and arctuvis t. he took pictures of the evolving landscape all summer at regular Intervals. The slide show was very interesting especially for those of us who participated momentous and unforgettable Moving Day last spring.

The undeveloped bit of property with

Food Creates Mood

the greatest potential is still between the ears.

by Cvnttue J. Hahn Co-Ed/cor Food - the dieters worst enemy - has taken a drastic change in our school cafeteria! What happened? No one could believe their eyes upon the first day back at school. Entering the school cafeteria was like entering campus for the first time - many new things to see and adventures to take. What are these so-called adventures!

Naturally first of all comes the good old cafeteria food that we have all come so accustomed to; but second of all, it includes the new ice cream machines and "Sunday Brunch Salad Bar" every day of the week.

How did all of this wonderlul changes come about? Many of us, I'm sure, have our own Idea of why or where this wonderful food came from, but overa!t It IS meant to lift our spirits and give all of the students a more positive attitude toward school and our general atmosphere. Has this been happening with you? For many, I do believe it IS,for we can all observe the many people surrounding the salad bar at every meal, filling their hungry stomachs with a good nutrious salad; instead of wasting the prepared food that they took, but really did not want to eat, or just did not care for. How about all of those who really wanted to go on a diet, but found it impossible to do with all of the fried meats and deep fried potatoes? Our dream has come true. But, let us not forget about that big "Temptation Machine" that was also installed this summer - yes, the ice cream machine. Many of us have also found joy and delight with the new adventure. How many of us can really say that they have not sat and watched at least one or two people at the Ice cream machine attempting to make their own creations in the bowl or cone of their choice. Now admit doesn't that give you a good laugh at times, too?

Is the Idea of a positive attitude and better outlook more clear now? This seems quite evident to me and I am very happy that our administration has taken on this idea and are trYing it all out with the students, Now it is up to the students to take advantage of this new and good opportunity and not waste the efforts of all involved so that we can enjoy all that we have been given. But overall, remember that we can't take too much advantage of that ice cream machine, or we will all turn into the round shapes that our ice cream cones resemble.

Poetry Corner

It all began In August, August 1 and 8 We came back to campus, feeling awfully great.

We were finally Seniors, and finally on the top And reality now only, a jump, a skip. a hop The first week was filled with fun It was a great time for everyone!

The first Quarter teachers then had to go What was ahead, thev didn't know.

We said good-byes and tears were shed, You're in our prayers when we bow our heads So-long Karl, Kiersten. Jeff, and Cathy T. Good-bye to Pete, Colleen and Joel, and Judys A & B. Farewell dear Dawn, Patti, Kristen, Bill. and also James Ever Since you left the campus, It hasn't been the same.

And Spike, Chene, Cindy & Laurie Kristie and Ann its all the same story: You're all missed, so very much yet we know that you can do It Because you have the Lord's own hands, guiding and carrying you through It. - a friend

Silently

•

Sitting silently as the waves come crashing in I think of you, and of me, and what we two have been The laughter, the tears, the hatred, the love Have flown away, just like the dove We've parted now, we've said our good-byes And now our life is gone, our life full of lies.

We were living a dream, a dream everyone finds.

And we realized it was just that.

Editors' Note:

Beginning with this issue. and hopefully continuing throughout the year, a new column will be featured In the MESSENGER. Each month, one male athlete and one female athlete will be chosen

and profiled.

We know

we won't

be able to write about each athlete involved III the DMLC athletic program, (and we apologize to the many who won't be featured),

so we wlil

try to choose

those athletes that usually do not receive as much recognition as others. Let us know what you think of the columns.

Drop a note in Box 934. We appreciate your input.

Thank

you.

up, as they are all very close.

Shelley is entering her eighth year of playing volleyball, as she began her career at Minnesota Valley Lutheran. She enjoys volleyball most because it is the most rewarding for her personally, She feels her biggest asset as a volleyball player is her setting ability, which she has worked very hard to improve, including much work in summer. Because she starts each play from the back row, and handles all the setting responsibilities, she has to cover the most area on the floor, Coach Buck calls Shelley one of the team's emotional leaders, because she is constantly trying to get the team pumped up, whether she is in playing or resting on the bench, For these reasons and several others, Shelley was named one of the tri-

captains this season.

Shelley has been involved in quite a few different activities around campus during her stay here. If she is not busy with one of the sports teams or a choir, she can usually be found trying to help the students through her work on Collegiate Council, where she IS a faithful, dedicated, and hard working member.

She has enjoyed these varied activities for several reasons. Personally, she has enjoyed meeting so many people and being able to help. As a future teacher, these activities will help her leadership and directing. She feels that all the things she's involved in will relate to things she'll be able to use later.

Like all the athletes here, Shelley also enjoys the feeling of performing before a large crowd of students. "It makes you happy to see that so many people care about their teams." On the other hand, she also is saddened when she sees people who don't get involved in activities on campus, whether it be a sport, a choir, the band, Collegiate Council, or any of the other groups

Lady Lancers Begin Title Defense

by Sherman Unkefer Co-Sports Editor

against St. Benedict. a non-conference opponent. The first game of the match

Last season was a dream come true for DMLC's volleyball team. When the season began, not manypeople expected them to go as far as the national tournament, and once they got in the

was dominated by St. Benedict. who came out ready to play and out performed the Lancers on the way to a 15-4 win.

Coach Buck made some minor adjustments before the second game and the LadyLancerswere able to even the match at one game each, thanks to a 15-8 win.

Unfortunately, this would be as good as it would get for DMLC, who would drop the third and fourth games by scores of 15-9 and 15-12, and would lose their first match three games to one.

On September 11th, DMLC invaded

national tournament, not many people expected them to capture the NLCAA national title. Through a lot of hard work and confidence in themselves, they won the title and now they face an even tougher task, defending the title.

The Ladv Lancers opened up defense of their title September 8th with a match

Roseville, MN, to face their first conference opponent. Northwestern.

Last season Northwestern presented a problem for the Lady Lancers because of their quick style of play. Coach Buck prepared his team for that style of play, but what they saw was a different Northwestern team who played a more conventional style, DMLC dropped the first game 13-15, but came back strongly to take the next three games by scores of 15-6, 15-11, and 16-14 to capture their first match of the season and even their record at 1-1.

available to them.

Coach Buck has seen much improvement and refining of her talents in the past few years. "Shelley came in basically as a hitter, and has worked very hard to become a quality setter. Now that she IS in a leadership role, she is also helping others to become good setters. ' He feels she handles her job as tri-captain well, and sets good examples for the younger players.

Just as Shelley has made a good impression on her coaches, her coaches have also impressed Shelley. "They are willing to sacrifice so much of their personal time for the team, you know that they're sincere about what they're doing." She goes on, "The coaches here have always been so easy to talk to and they'll welcome you any time. Hopefully my athletes will feel they can talk to me."

She sums up her feelings about her coaches with the simple statement, "My coaches here gained my respect, and I hope my kids can do the same."

Shelley hopes to be able to use the things she has learned from her coaches in' two major ways: to coach children when she is teaching, and to help the Ladies Aid volleyball team at the church she serves, Volleyball has given her three special moments here at DMLC: making the team as a freshman, being chosen as a captain this season, and of course, the National title last year, She feels repeating will be difficult because ..everyone is out to get you, so you haveto work twice as hard." Hopefully, through leadership, skill, and a little bit of luck, the Lady Lancers will be able to repeat as champions, and Shelley will have another thing to add to her list of memories.

lANCER PROFILE

by Darren Zastrow Co-Sports Editor Name: Steve Biedenbender Class: Senior Age: 21 Height: 5'9" Weight: 200 Home: Menominee Falls, WI Area of Concentration: Music

As you watch the exciting Lancer football team this season, you will notice many fine defensive players who always seem to be around the football and are Involved In many of the tackles. One of these players is Steve Biedenbender. number 40. Steve is the starting outside strongside linebacker. and his responsibilities on defense include being able to stop running plays, as well as defending receivers when the opponent tnes a pass play. This IS a job that Steve does well. Coach Gronholz describes him as a "steady performer and a dedicated worker who finds joy in a good performance. and he works hard to prepare himself for each task." Steve attributes his success in football to the fact that before last season he had never played organized football (he played soccer while attending high school at Kettle Moraine Lutheran), so his mind is not "cluttered with lots of stuff that I don't need to know. I only know what I need to know to play my position."

Steve grew up in Menominee Falls, a suburb of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He has one brother. Dave, a Junior here at DMLC, and one sister, Ruth. Steve credits a good

sibling rivalry to Improving his competitiveness.

He attended Bethlehem Lutheran grade school in Menominee Falls, where he played as many sports as possible. He had one particular sports idol as he was growing up, one he still follows today, Pete Rose. Steve said he has read every book he has ever seen about Pete Rose, and checks the newspaper every morning to see how Pete had done the night before. Part of Pete has worn off on Steve. as can be seen in his hustle, his good attitude, h.s never-saydie outlook on the game, and the fact that he doesn't draw attention to himself as a player.

Steve has played in three different interscholastic sports while attending DMLC, football. basketball. and baseball.

These sports are played back-to-back. so Steve did not have a break all school year.

Of these sports. his favonte is baseball.

He enjoys football because it is a team sport that involves everyone at the same time, and each player has a specific responsibility. Steve enjoyed the terrific support given all the teams he's played on here at DMLC by the student body. It gives him and all hrs teammates a tremendous lift to see the bleachers packed with cheering fans.

One of the things that Steve would like to be involved in after he enters the teachinq ministry IS coaching "as many sports as possible." He feels that each sport is important in its own way, and much can be gained from participating in athletics. He credits several of the coaches he played under here at DMLC With teaching him things that he will be able to incorporate into his coaching style. Coach Gorsline (currently at Northwestern College) had' great drills in practice" that could be easily taught to future players. Coaches Gronholz and Buck stressed the attitude of the athlete,

and were able to relate to their plavers Coach Meihack taught the thinking aspect of the game, but also showed that sports can be fun. Being involved In a variety of acuv.ues In addition to athletics, such as bands and College Choir has been a "real treat" to Steve.

This variety will help him reach the Interest level of all when he IS teaching Being Involved in atble tic s will help later as It gives him a "team concept. showing him the need for others.

As he enters his final year at DMLC, Steve says he has greatly enjoyed the past three years, and expects nothing different this year. Three of the mernones he especially remembers from athle trcs here at DMLC are last season's second place football finish. the baseball conference championship, and the Lancer and Trojan Classic championships in basketball. When asked if he had any message to pass on to future athletes.

Steve replied, ''I've sat on many benches in my life. The thing that helps the guys on the floor or field is the people on the bench and in the crowd, so don't get discouraged If you don't play that much.

Your role is still important."

Steve describes his job on the team as not the emotional leader, whipping up his teammates, but to "quietly do my job."

Coach Gronholz descnbes this aspect of Steve, and all the other "quiet leaders" with a quote he read, "Your actions are so loud I can't hear what you're saying."

Often, he feels, ttus type of motivation is the most lasting kind.

For a final, summarizing statement, we again go to Coach Gronholz, "Steve is an example of a student athlete who will use athletics as a means to an end, not as an end. The growth he has shown on the athletic field will payoff for the children he will teach. Like so many of our athletes, he's not just an athlete. He gives a special characteristic to our team.'

Kick-Off Time

by Gene Schinzel Staff Writer The DMLC Lancers. coming off their best season ever, are setting higher goals this season, The team is returning twelve starters and a number of experienced players, including twelve starting seniors, some of whom sat out last year. The team will be led by four co-captains. Linc Hohler, Mark McCormick. Gregg Birkholz, and Randy Cox. Coach Gronholz, who directed the Lancers to a 6-2 record in his first season,

said, "Our goal isn't to match last year's record, but to match our previous best personal performance."

Gronholz feels good about rus offense. which he said can move the ball on the ground or through the air effectively. He was also pleased with the defense. He attributes the success of the team to the players and his coaches, who have worked hard and together with each other.

Set Your Tees

bv Michael Albrecht stet! Writer The ball hits the tree with a resounding THUD' and skids into the rough.

Hopefully. our 1986 Golf team will not be faced with this situation as they tee off for the first time on Friday, September 12.

The coaches for the golf team this year are Professors Raddatz and Wulff. They are excited about the prospect of havinq a fresh team this year, but with a new team comes learning. After losing several key players to graduation, there are some spaces left to fill on the Lancer's roster, but there is plenty of talent to fill those spaces, The golfers practice on their own dunng the week at New Ulm Country Club. Coach Wulff said he has been pleased With the scores turned In so far.

One of the tougher teams the Lancers will be playing this year ISViterbo. They have many returning golfers and look tough to beat. The Lancers tee up against them for the first time on September 19.

Team members include: Phil Fischer, II; Steve Jensen. III; John Kaesmeyer. II; Mike Koester. III; Pete Markgraf. III; Doug Plath.

Have You Ever Lost Your Belly Button?

Larthurs Sr. Staff vvrner Writer's Note According to the Amerrcan Heritage DIctionary, hvpnosis means. "An artif.ciattv induced sleephke condiuon In which an individual is extremelv responsive to suggestIOns made by the hypnotist" So III actuality. hvpnosrs IS the power of suggestion.

I looked forward to the first lyceum WIth eager anucipauon. The outside stage was set with an atmosphere of dark foreboding clouds encompassing the campus, When Edwin Baron, the worldfamous hypnotist confidently walked across the stage, I was disappointed. I was expecting a sinister-looking man such as those you see in the reruns of a scary movie like Dracula. Instead, this man looked like a grandfather; kind and gentle with a special something in his eyes.

For over twenty-five years, Baron has mesrnerized and capnvated audiences from Virginia to California, from Texas to Michigan. He did this once again on September 9, enthralling the DMLC campus for over 1Yz hours. Baron, with entrancing eyes and tranquil voice, asked for volunteers. Thirty people originally started on stage, but gradually he weeded out the¡ 11arder-to-hypnotize, and only fifteen remained, thiS writer being one of

the remaining fifteen.

Baron first put us under by placing his hand over our eyes and suggested, off of the microphone and only to us, "When I put my hand over your eyes, you'll close your eyes and fall asleep." He suggested the same thing when shaking our hands and wantIng us to fall asleep again.

Throughout the entIre show we hypnotlzees were put through many different situations. Our first was a lit match being held under our outstretched hands with Baron suggesting, "You have no feeling." To me thiS felt like a warm, comfortable breeze. Some felt nothing, while others, like Lisa Rate fell out of the trance and returned to the audience.

"I can't find my bellybutton"" exclaimed Laury Schumacher, outraged that someone would have the nerve to steal it. The same thing happened to Kurt Cereske, Chris Desen, and Rick Cody, After searching in pockets and shoes, and accusmg fellow bellybutton-missers, Baron suggested that someone in the audience had taken them, Much to Jeremy Thiesfeldt's dismay the

acquisitorv finger. accompanied by evrl glares. was pomted at hrrn - an Innocent bystander In the audience. He threw them back and everyone .r-votvec was happy "Ching sh+ianq. twa chuia conniae chong twranq-ts ai The Martian scene between Dale Krueger and Kurt Cereske received the most laughter. Baron suggested that Dale could speak only Martian, while Kurt was to be the translator for Baron's questions to Dale about Mars and outer space. People were and still are amazed. 00 Kurt and Dale remember this? No. .If you missed the lyceum, stop Dale and ask him to demonstrate 'the Martian Walk: Another hilarious scenano involved everyone on stage. Baron suggested (once again) different places (a prenrc With ants, and a movie theatre) In which we experienced different srnouons [happy. sad, and scared) and different conditions (covered with ants, hot. thirsty, and freeZing cold). Laughter filled the auditorium when Dale Dyrssen, cold and shivering, grabbed Tina Nell In a passionate embrace The audience was once again spell¡ bound when several people on stage could not dIstingUish between left and right, and again when even the non-plano players were given the ability to play lIke Liberace.

Are you still skeptical? You are not the only one. Even the 'performers' on stage are. A few of us got together to discuss what went on and how we felt. Some, like Julie Russell and Ruth Dolby felt as though they were in a dream and remembered most of 11."It felt as though you were on the verge of falling asleep and then you hear the neighbors next door talking, and you do not have the energy to tell them to be quiet." I later asked Baron if everyone on stage was hypnotized las I myself was not sure if I was) and he said "Yes. at some time everyone was under." Then there were others like Tina, Dale and Kurt who barely remember anything, It all depended on the degree of hypnOSIs. How believable is hypnosis? You have to be the judge. As for myself, I still do not know; however, it was believable enough for me to feel the need to check my bellybutton the morning after. IYes, I still have it.) Am I a true believer of hypnosis after undergoing what I did? The honest answer for me is a very definite maybe,

Lancer Spirit Displayed Nervous Students Play

by Cindy Hahn Co-Editor Patty Hennig News Editor

by Sarah Schultz Staff Writer On Thursday, October 9, the chapel-

Homecoming 1986 has come and gone, but the memories will last forever.

There were many exciting moments throughout Homecoming week, all combining to fulfill very successful celebration.

During the week, our special "dressup" days were featured. On Monday

students dua out hats. alasses. buttons. boots, and bandanas to dress in the style of the day. Tuesday was "Occupation Day" featuring life styles from "the Bag Lady" to professional teachers, and anywhere in between. Dress-up Day was on Wednesday with all our students dressed as professional teachers - almost as though we were there already. Comic Strip Daywas on Thutsday- following our theme for this year's Homecoming. Many different comics were featured. It is amazing what our student body can come up with if they really want. Finally, our days were completed on Friday with Maroon and Grey Day as we dressed to represent the Lancer colors and school spirit.

As tradition has it, there again was Freshman Initiation with the head drill sergeants being Phil Rehberger and Dawn Beckman (sophomores). The initiation was once again a success and was handled excellently. Let's give a pat on the back to the sophomores and a big "Congratulations" to the freshman who participated and helped carry on the Lancer initiation.

The Homecoming Weekend started with Pep Fest on Friday night. The cheerleaders and spirit leadets did a great job of injecting enthusiasm in the crowd.

This year's spirit leaders included freshman Rick Cody and Joni Beagle, sophomores Paul Haag and Daneen Enter, Juniors Jim Braun and Becky Schultz, and seniors Phil Zahn and Laury Schumacher. All the class skits were performed well with great enthusiasm. It is very interesting to watch the creativity and spirit we can show when we all put our minds to it. The pam-pan squad and

Junior's Winning Float

color guard performances showed weeks of hard practice and much school spirit. The Pep Fest ended with everyone fired up for Homecoming Day. Late Saturday morning the freshman braved the poor weather conditions to march in the annual parade. The class floats were also presented along with a few advertisements from a few of our clubs on campus.

Saturday's Homecoming games began at 10:00 A.M. with a soccer match between the Trojan Soccer team and the Lancer Soccer Club. The Lancers battled it with a slippery and wet field, losing to the Trojans 3-0. The game was played well: a very welcome feature to the Homecoming festivities.

Finally at 2:00 P.M. Saturday the Lancer/Trojan football game was held.

The football players had the cold and rain against them as they battled for a victory.

Although they tried to succeed, things did not come together and the Lancers lost 20-6. We can look back at this game as being "Mud Bowl 1986."

Homecoming Week ended with a banquet dinner including stuffed pork chops. potatoes, corn, salad, and desert.

We were all entertained throughout our meal by Dale Witte and Marianne Peterman. Our Banquet MC was Darrell Berg who announced the junior women as powder-puff winners and also the

junior class as winners of the class floats and spirit award.

Congratulations juniorsll The coaches of the fall sports then gave speeches: Coach Boehlke for cross-country, Coach Buck for women's volleyball and Coach Gronholz for football. The entertainment portion of the banquet was introduced by MC's Steve Towne and Connie Kroll. It contained many interesting and different performances by members of the student body.

Homecoming 1986 was a huge success. Let us hope next year and years to come will be as full of spirit. entertainment, and fun as this year.

auditorium lights were left on later than usual. The usual post-chapel hum of activity did not leave the chapel completely. Instead, a small group of students and teachers remained. some nervous, some not. Suddenly, at the appointed time of 8:00 P.M.. the auditorium was filled with music. The 1986 Student Organ Recital season had officially begun.

Naomi Ruege started things off. She was followed by Marianne Petermann, Anne Gabb, Deborah Frisque, Tracey Kriewall, and Marilyn Hanel. Each of these ladies played selections from composers such as Buxtehude, Bender, Pachelbel. and J.S. Bach.

After a short intermission, the second section of the program ensued. J.S. 8ach and Felix Mendelssohn were the composers featured; Darin Menk, Sandra Svehla, Dale Witte, Kristi Jacobs, and Linda Kuske were the performers.

Thus ended the first Student Organ Recital of 1986. For many of these students there is a feeling of relief now that it is over. For all, students and teachers included. there is a'real sense of accomplishment. Well done!

From the Editors

Silence is golden because the supply is limited.

School Spirit Questioned

by LuAnn Vatthauer

Co-Editor Homecoming was once again a success. Positive comments were expressed by many visitors.

Even though students. relatives and friends looked forward to this special week. those who worked on the different committees felt relieved that Homecoming is overfor another year. The committees consisted of just a few people in most cases. These students worked hard to make sure everything turned out fine.

Those who gave of their time could have used more help. It is too much to ask of a handful of people to build floats, plan skits, and make decorations. With more students helping, there would be more fun and less work. Those who helped had the same homework as those who begged off with the excuse of too much homework.

More showed up to help with class projects than student body projects. This shows there is more class spirit than school spirit. When this happens, the campus is not as unified as it as it could be.

Try to get unified and help when you are asked to help. They are just as busy as you.

"Burnout?!"

IIWhat's That? Who's Keynes?"

by Alan Bitter Guest Writer Nobel Conference XXII was held on the campus of Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter September 30 and October 1. If your reaction to the above statement is a wrinkled forehead immediately followed by the question "What's that?" you're not alone. In fact that was the response of the students who attended the conference upon first hearing about it. Thus. considerinq the fact that .N.C. XXII didn't crack the top 100 on the list of most talked about events by D.M.L.C. students. some background information is in order.

If you're a math concentrate, you've figured out by now that the conference was first held in 1965. Social studies concentrates will remember that both Gustavus Adolphus and Alfred Nobel are associated with Sweden. Persons concentrating in music or English who knew these facts may give themselves two pats on the back before proceeding. Only one pat for science people - you should be familiar with Nobel. Given the Swedish connection. former' G.A.C. president Edgar M. Carlson proposed the idea of a yearly conference on the St. Peter

campus following the gathering of 26 Nobel laureates for the dedication of the Alfred Nobel Science Hall at G.A.C. in 1963. Outside of Sweden and Norway. where the prizes are awarded, this is the first formal Nobel lecture program to receive official authorization from the Nobel Foundation.

Over 200 high schools and colleges are invited to send representatives to hear leading scholars speak on the chosen . topic.

DMLC students are selected from names submitted by the senior advisers. Attending this year's conference were Annette Wilde, Sandra Sveha. Peter Baganz, and Alan Bitter, along with Professors Jacobson and Wulff.

The topic for N.C. XXII was "The Legacy of Keynes." lithe wrinkled brow is this time followed by the question "Who's Keynes?"again,you're not alone.

The students attending the conference all admitted to being Keynesian illiterate going into the experience. and it is assumed that most Messenger readers are in a similar situation. John Maynard Keynes with his 1936 book The General Theory of Employment. Interest. and

Money. stressed an active roll for government in the economy. But rather than going into more detail on a topic that Edward Thoma of The Free Press cites as a noble contribution to the Nobel Conference's reputation as "a hard story to cover. So dry. So academic. So dull:' not to mention the possibility of making John Maynard rollover in his grave with a misinterpretation of his ideas, it was decided to limit this article to student reactions to N.C. XXII. Mr. Thoma's opinion not withstanding. the DM LC contingent felt that the conference was a worthwhile experience.

Our group agreed that some of the lectures were difficult to understand. both intellectually, because of the depth of what was presented, and literally, because of the heavy foreign accents of a couple of the speakers. The expertise of the professors who attended was especially helpful in gaining some understanding of material that seemed, at times, to be light-years over our heads.

There was also a certain excitement, a feeling that we had sneaked into a place where we didn't belong. It was kind of like getting your hands on a Chicago Bears uniform and stepping onto the field with the "Fridge." Did those around us

actually think that we understood everything that was going on? We did our best to keep up appearances and, to our surprise, left the conference with some understanding of Keynes' economic theory.

Another unique feature of our experience was visiting a different college. one where tuition and fees are in excess of 10.000 dollars a year. Professor Jacobson proved to be a knowledgeable guide on a tour of the campus. Highlights were the Christ Chapel. the library, with an exhibition of the works of noted children's illustrator Gustaf Tenggren. and the new 9 million dollar athletic complex. Professor Wulff was amazingly accurate in guessing the construction dates of buildings by observing the architecture. He is also an expert on the subject of lunch. and assured us that DMLC got its moneys worth for our meal tickets.

In summary, our group was grateful for the opportunity to attend N.C. XXII. The G.A.C. campus was interesting. the two days without classes were appreciated. the food was good, and the chance to listen to a Nobel Prize winner and five other internationally respected scholars was an unforgettable experience.

Completion Date of 1991 Larthurs Sr. We have all heard rumors about the new hymnal. Rumors range from Amy Grant songs being in the hymnal to all the old songs not being included at all. These and other rumors have been making many people anxious.

Granted, when the twelve man cornmittee is finished with this project, there will be changes, but tradition willremain.

About 600 hymns will be included and 400 of the most "'familiar and strongly used hymns of The Lutheran Hymnal (TLH) will be included." The other 200 will be from other Christian hymnody books, or hymns written by our own WELS members.

Liturgies will be similar to those used now, although one liturgy has been written to combine the two orders of service on pgs. 5 and 15. The music will be new and the language will be updated.

In the front part, there will also be more psalmities. such as those used in our chapel service here at school, and perhaps even Luther's Small Catechism.

A sampler of the new hymnal will be sent out at the end of this month to congregations. This hymnal will contain

the new liturgical version of pages five and fifteen along with new prayers and a sampling of 20 hymns which we may find in the new hymnal.

The year 1991 is the most recent date set to have the hymnal ready for use. It has already been set back once, the reason being that this is a first time for all the committee members to set up a new hymnal. The committee was appointed

by Kurt Eggert and includes our own Professors Buss, Backer, and Hartwig.

While talking with Professor Buss, he kept saying, "'We rate the hymn." When asked what the guidelines for rating were, he showed me his two 2"' binders that were 'rule books' for the committee and gave me the part that read "texts shall conform to the truths oft he Scripture ... "' " ... good quality ... based on the , mighty acts of God." One can not please all the people all of the time, but the new hymnal has enough tradition, yet updates to make the weaning as painless as possible. Before looking into this subject." was one of the skeptics, now I look forward to this new hymnal with eager anticipation.

by Susan Warner Sta ff Writer Hey, did everyone catch that great music? You mean you didn't know? It was the Band Concert, performed by DMLC's own Symphonic Band and Wind Ensemble. On Thursday, Oct. 16, our own talented musicians once again entertained students and faculty with a variation of tunes.

The Symphonic Band set the music in motion with the "March Juno" followed by "Nimrod." a movement from "Enigma Variations:' An interesting story behind this piece was that the composer, Elgar, named his variations after friends of his.

"Nimrod" represented Elgar's closest friend and is thought by many to be the highlight of the variations, as the audience would surely agree. This section of the concert ended with "Beguine for Band," the beguine having originated as a dance of the West Indies.

The Wind Ensemble was up next with "In Storm and Sunshine," an entertaining march sure to grab the audience's attention. The "Serenade for Wind Band" followed, which was Quite an interesting piece with it's wide range of rhythms.

Professor Hermanson described this piece as delightful and gentle, with the rhythms adding a little spice throughout.

"Caccia and Chorale" had to be the most challenging and complex of the numbers. The composer was thought to have tried to convey a moral message in his work to his listeners which might account for the complexity. The next piece was "Slavonic Dance No.7," and showed the spirit and rhythm of the

Conaratulations to last month's winners, Julie Radel and Janell Wolff, for correctly guessing Professor Yotter. We hope more of the student body can answer this month's Mystery Professor, so we will try to give a few more hints.

This professor comes from a family of six. He attended Northwestern Prepare-

tory High Senool. Dr. Martin Luther College, the University of Marquette, Carthage College, and Mankato State. He has three children, one of whom is in the navy. He previously taught in Kenosha.

WI, before coming to DMLC. He teaches both freshman and seniors, "the Alpha and Omega"' of DMLC. His favorite hobbies are photography, mechanical work. and music.

He has quite a large collection of about 3,000 LP's of all different kinds of music. The most interesting places he has been are the Rocky Mountains, Hawaii. California, and Florida. He says he'll use any excuse to fly because he loves It so much.

Please submit your guesses to Box 274 and remember the first four correct responses only will receive a gift certificate to the Round Table, courtesy of the Messenger. We hope more of you will try your luck at this month's Mystery Prof.

Slavonic folk music. The concert ended with yet another march, "'Flag of Victory." this time by a German composer.

Professor Hermanson seemed Quite happy with the number of new students out this year, even though the' overall membership was down. Several weak areas do remain; however. with a few adjustments everything ran smoothly and sounded great. This first concert is always the most difficult since not much time was available to rehearse this Quarter. I'm sure everyone will agree. though. that thanks to the dedication of the members and the director, this year's Band Concert was yet another success.

Sports Beat Off and Running

by Tim Kuehl Staff Writer Things have really kicked off for the DMLC cross-country teams this fall. With the recruitment of four new freshman and the revival of the men's team. things have really expanded. especially the excitement. Becki Renner, coming off a great season last year, is running even better this season and could possibly break a school record. Mark Renner. one of the new freshmen, is leading the men with many quick finishes.

The women's team includes Becki Renner IV. Kristen Eggen III. Tracy Jarvis III. Kelly Hill I. Christine Winterstein I. and Ginger Schrank I. The men's team includes Mark Renner I. Brad Nommensen II. and Tim Kuehl III. The men run for personal records, since there are not enough men to score as a team.

The season opened with a meet at St. Mary's College in Winona. The women's team finished seventh out of nine in a very tough three mile race. Becki Renner finished first for DMLC in eighteenth place with a time of 19:28. Mark Renner. following in his sister's footsteps. finished first for DMLC in the four mile men's race, He ran the hilly course in 24:25.

The women then traveled to SI. Catherine's College on Tuesday, September 23. to run in a four-team meet.

The DMLC team finished third. with Becki finishing tn fourth place individually. with a time of 20:57 for the five-kilometer(3.1 miles) course. Improving her time.

Christine Winterstein finished next for DMLC. thirteenth overall. with a time of 23:55.

On the following Saturday. both teams traveled to Northwestern-Roseville and ran against some very tough teams. The day was hot and humid. but that did not stop Becki from running hard to a fourth place finish. finishing ahead of some very quick runners who had beaten her before.

The men also ran very well. keeping close together over the five mile course. Mark finished first again for DMLC in 31 st place. with Brad and Tim finishing close behind. at 37th and 41 st place respectively.

On October 3. the teams traveled to Southwest State in Marshall. Minnesota. for a ten-kilometer road race. There.

DMLC ran away with victories. Becki Renner and Kelly Hill took first and second place in their age division, with times of 43:28 and 55:21. The men did just as well. having Mark and Brad coming in first and second, with times of 36:27 and 37 :32.

At the time of this writing. the teams had four more meets to finish out the season, including two home meets on the eighteenth and twenty-fifth of October.

The teams are hoping for a good audience at the home meets to cheer them on.

Anyone going to these meets will see that the DMLC cross-country teams are ready ... set ... and going!

Tee Time Over

Lady Lancer Profile

by Darren Zastrow

by Tim Kuehl Staff Writer The DMLC golf team is clubing away at a pretty good season. even though the loss of many top players to graduation made things look rather bleak for awhile.

As in the words of Pete Markgraf. "I was really wondering about what the team would be like this year. I was hoping for some really good freshmen to join the team. and I am glad to see we got some."

Indeed. the golf team has gotten some rather good freshman golfers in Kurt Steffen and Doug Plath.

Kurt has been leading the team in low scores and is DMLC's top golfer. He has been shooting consistently in the eighties over the different eighteen hole. par 72. golf courses. Doug did not start well this season, but has come back to finish strong. His fine shooting has made him an excellent backup man.

The returning players have also done well. Steve Jensen came off of a poor start at Pillsbury. to become a solid golfer. shooting around ninety, earning for himself the second slot on the team. Pete Markgraf, has also been improving his scores. His new personal best of eightyone, and other great scores have given him the third spot on the team. Both of the sophomores on the team. John Kaesmeyer and Philip Fischer. have been playing well. Coach Raddatz says they both have a lot of potential. and add much to the team.

The golf team plays in the UMCCwhich includes Pillsbury. Viterbo, Concordia St. Paul. and Northwestern. Watertown.

They play each team twice during the regular season, except for Northwestern, which is too far away. They have beaten Viterbo twice, but have lost twice to Pillsbury and Concordia. They have also played against Dordt College in Iowa.

********************** Name: Sue Carter Age: 21 Height: 5'7" Class: Senior Home: East Jordan. MI Area of Concentration: Math

**********************, DMLC has had many people who participate in three intercollegiate sports during the school year. and this list includes senior Sue Carter. In addition to volleyball. Sue also plays basketball and is a member of the track team, where she holds the school record for the javelin throw. Of these three sports. she lists volleyball as her favorite because it is a real team sport, which makes it "more fun." Sue has played organized volleyball for eight years now. dating back to her days at Michigan Lutheran Seminary. She considers her best asset as a volleyball player the ability to be an all-around player. A good beginning coach turned her on to the sport originally. and now she considers the most exciting part of the game a good block or tip. or when "a spike goes all the way to the ground:' Volleyball and all the activities that she has been involved in have taught her many things that will help her as she prepares to enter the teaching ministry. "I have iearned patience and self-discipline and how teamwork can be applied to any subject in life. not just sports." Two of the most memorable moments for Sue of her career at DMLC are last year's National Volleyball Championship and learning how to throw the javelin, and later break the school record.

where the team scored their lowest score of 345. but still lost to the tough Dordt team.

The team's final match was the UMCC tournament at Viterbo on October 10-11.

Here all the teams in the conference, including Northwestern. came to play against each other for two days to determine the conference champions.

The Lancers sent five men, whose top three

scores

determine

the team

score. The five included. by order of rank Kurt Steffen. Steve Jensen.

Pete Markgraf. Philip Fischer. and John Kaesmeyer. DMLC finished fourth behind Northwestern. Concordia and Pillsbury.

The Lancers Kurt Stepp han gained allconference honors by shooting a 170 over the 36 holes.

This season got off to kind of a rocky start for the Lady Lancer's title defense. but now they seem to have things under control and the team is doing well again.

Sue thinks their chances to repeat right now are good. and feels that a major factor will be the home court advantage the Lady Lancers will have this year, since they are hosting the National Tournament on November 7 & 8. Having the home fans right here will also be a big boost.

Sue describes the support the team has received this year from fans as "Good. It really fires the team up when you see lots of people in the stands cheering for you."

Sue comes from a large family. being the fourth of nine children. She has three brothers (two older). and five sisters (one older). One of her sisters. Betty. graduated last year, and Joanie is a sophomore this year at DMLC. Some of the hobbies Sue enjoys are reading, photography, and needlework. She has been a photographer for the Messenger and the Excelsior in the past years. Some of the other activities she has been involved in at DMLC are the Women's Athletic Club, Meet Math, Sign Language Club, and Chapel Committee. She enjoys being so involved because "Each club was a different group of people so I learn to do s lot and meet a lot of new people.

These activities help you later-in life so you can get involved in a wide variety of activities." One of the activities that she hopes to take part in is coaching - as many sports as possible.

As I said earlier, she considers volleyball her favorite sport. Another reason for this is Coach Buck. "He is the type of coach that you just want to work for. You respect him because of the way he treats his athletes." She considers her role on the team as "a consistent performer, doing nothing outstanding." Let's hope she continues to do "nothing outstanding" and help the Lady Lancers repeat as National Champions.

••••••• The Hopes of Nationals

by Michael Albrecht Staff Writer The Lady Lancers have continued their quest for lI'e national championship this year with an impressive start to their conference season. At this writing they are 7-1 and are all alone at the top of their conference. The team's goal is to win their conference. the MWCC. for the first time. Future goals are to win districts and eventually repeat as national champions, When DMLC took on Northwestern Roseville last year, they ran into some problems. This year. however. the Lady Lancers have been in top form as they have already beaten Northwestern twice.

Coach Buck says that these were the two best games they have had all year, with an excellent balance of offense and defense in each.

Their only conference loss so far has been to Concordia St. Paul. However. the Lady Lancers battled back from that frustrating loss to beat them in five sets the next time the two teams met.

Coach Buck feels that a positive attitude is necessary for the Lady Lancers to repeat as champions. He thinks this year's team has a winning attitude and they could once again repeat that level of greatness which they reached last year.

*********************** Name: Steve "Skip" Bremer Age: 21 Height: 6'1" Weight: 200 Class: Senior Home: Gretna. NE

Area of Concentration:

Science

*********************** QUESTION: Which senior football player has been injured somewhat severely in each of his last six seasons?

ANSWER: Skip Bremer Yes. Senior linebacker Skip Bremer has spent all or part of each season since his junior year in high school enduring some form of injury. In his junior year at Nebraska Lutheran he tore cartilage in his right knee. During his senior year he had a concussion. When he was a freshman here at DMLC. he broke his collarbone in Seward. NE (one of the three events that are most memorable in his mind). Three days before the first game of his sophomore year he separated his shoulder. He did not play at all last season because he was recovering from knee surgery. This season has been no exception. In addition to the assorted bumps and bruises that every football player picks up. Skip has had a partially separated collarbone. and his knees have been giving him problems again. At the time I was interviewing him. he had five bags of ice on his knees and shoulders.

So why does he put himself through this every year?Skip sayssimply. "Ilike to play." This season has been a little more challenging for Skip because in addition to coming back from knee surgery. he is also playing linebacker. a position he had not played since high school. Hisfirst two years at DM LC. he played guard. Skip describes the transition this way, "It's like starting over as a freshman, since I'm playing a totally new position. The other guys. like Randy Cox. are really helping me re-adjust. What I lack in talent can sometimes be made up for in desire."

Desire is something that Skip really has. as can be seen by his positive attitude and the fact that he is always among the leaders in tackles.

Many people are probably wondering.

"Where did he get the nickname 'Skip?:" so I asked him. He explains it this way.

"When I was born. my parents couldn't decide on a name for me. My mom's roommate in the hospital had a baby boy on the same day. and his parents couldn't agree on a name either. The nurses decided to call us both 'Skipper: and it stuck to this day. His parents decided to name him Steve also. and ourfamilies still send Christmas cards to each other once in a while."

Skip considers the things he has learned from his coaches very beneficial to him as he hopes to coach after he enters the teaching ministry. Four coaches stick out in his mind. Dick Everts was his basketball coach during his senior year at Nebraska Lutheran. a

season in which the team won only 1 game. while losing 13. "I hated to lose and took losing very badly before him. and he taught me how to accept defeat in a positive way." Roger Schultz. currently at Kettle Moraine Lutheran. was another coach at Nebraska that Skip admired. "He was my favorite teacher. and he could really motivate a team, He trusted his players as individuals." Coach Dennis Gorsline was Skip's basketball and football coach his freshman and sophomore years at DMLC. He remembers him as "a very organized coach, and that's something I hope to be also." Skip describes current football coach Gronholz as a coach that "tries to put things in the right perspective and show us that we're playing for God's glory and not for personal glory."

As his career here at DMLC draws to a close. Skip remembers several things that made good impressions on him. The first thing he recalls is breaking his collarbone his freshman year. Playing baseball in the Metrodome last spring also was a highlight of his seasons here.

Eventhough he was not directly involved.

Skip lists the women's volleyball national championship last year as a great memory because it gave him much pride in his school.

He urges everyone at DMLC to get involved in something here on campus, He says. "Get involved. not just in intercollegiate athletics. Get involved with as much as possible. It's a good way to meet people and make friends. Some day ~ou may have to organize something. so get involved wherever your interests . lie. Through these activities you can learn to relate with other people. and see that your ideas aren't always the way things will go."

This season hasn't gone all that well for the Lancers. but Skip hasn't let that bother him. "It would be nice to win.

Looking at the record, we're not that successful. There's more to a season than just a record. This is my last season and I just want to go out having fun with a great group of guys." So. in closing we say.

"Have fun. Skip. and try not to get hurt any more."

"Mud Bowl 1986"

Kick-Off Time

by Sherman Unkefer Co-Sports Editor The DMLC Lancer football team. hampered by bad weather and inconsistent play. lost their third straight game.

20-6. to Northwestern College of Watertown. WI. on October 11.

OM Le' s defense got off to a slow start by letting the Trojans march down the field and score on a 1 yard run by Mark Gartner on their opening possession.

DMLC got a break when Gartner fumbled a punt. which Mark Eisenmann smothered at the Trojan 20 yard line. The Lancersthen scored four plays later on a 1 yard run by Mark McCormick. The score after the missed extra point was 7-6. and that would be as close as the Lancers would get. The Trojans dominated play in

the final 15 minutes of the first half. scoring two more touchdowns and establishing control of the line of scrimmage both offensively and defensively. The second half saw the Lancer defense play much better. but the offense continued to sputter. The loss dropped the Lancersto 0-3 in conference play and 1-4 overall.

Mark McCormick was the leading rusher. managing 54 yards on 18 carries.

Quarterback DanJohnson completed 7 of 23 passes for 73 yards. Tim Schubkegel

The lancers have now lost three straight games. Their two previous losses were to Concordia St. Paul 35-10. and to Northwestern-Roseville. 48-18. DMLC's sole victory came against St. Paul Bible College by a score of 7-0.

Musical Preparation Almost Complete

by Kelly Hill Staff Writer By now the lines are memorized, the music is learned, and the sets for this year's musical are finished.

This year the 19B6 Drama Club presents the musical "The King and I." It is the story of an English woman who has only a short time to civilize a whole "barbaric" Siamese country before a visit from an English diplomat.

All this started in mid-September with tryouts. These were several days filled with the singing and dancing of some 60 people, all hoping for one thing: to be part of the musical. The decision was a hard one for those in charge, but they finally narrowed it down to a cast of just over thirty members, along with a group of nine qrade school children chosen to be the royal children. Director Alan Uher was very pleased by the number of people who tried out and encouraged by the fact that a large percentage of the cast is made up of freshmen. Sophomore, Dale Witte, and freshman, Sarah Lassilla make up the leads in the production.

Not only are there new people in the cast. but also in the directing and producing positions. This is the first year for Tracey Kriewall in production. She has been involved with drama for the last four years, but has never done any producing.

Her duties include taking care of all the make-up, staging. costuming, and publicity. It's a large job, but from what people are saying, Tracey is getting it all done well.

Another person in a new position is Alan Uher. Being a director is not a new experience, but directing on such large scale is. Alan is director of Children's

Theater but in a very real sense this is something new. Where, in Children's Theater. he was concerned with staging. acting, and make-up, now with the musical there are the two added dimensions of singing and dancing. Also, there is the added challenge of a production aimed at adults as opposed to one aimed at children. Alan seems to be rising to the occasion quite well. He considers directing the capstone of his theater career since it is something that he has wanted to do since he first came here as a freshman.

"I get more satisfaction out of directing because I can work with more than one character," says Alan.

Although Tracey and Alan are doing a very good job, they couldn't do it without the people behind the music. Professor Roger Hermanson helps out by directing the Royal Orchestra. Annie Petermann has the task of all the singing parts and the Royal Chorus, while Lorna Fenske and Linda Schapekahm take time out of their busy schedules to make the musical come alive with choreography.

The cast will be giving a preliminary performance for the student teachers on October 21 st and public performances will begin on November 7th at 7:30 and continue on-the 8th, also at 7:30. There will be two performances o~ November 9th at 2:00 and 7:30. Tickets went on sale the week on October 13th.

The cast hopes that everyone who comes to see the musical is as enthusiastic about it as they are. Phil Zahn says, "Bring a pal!"

Pieces of Late Have we all recuperated from Homecoming Week and midterm exams?

Congrats - we all made it through. Just think, there is only 4Y, weeks until Thanksgiving vacation.

Congratulations to the Juniors upon winning the Powder Puff Championship game against the seniors. Also a special Congrats to the entire junior class on winning the Spirit Award and Float Award. Keep up the spirit Juniors!

Wednesday, October 8, 1986, the DMLC campus once again hosted the Ladies Auxiliary meeting. A big thank you

Alive and Kicking

is extended to all who donated their time and effort to make the day a success.

Just in case any of you need a reminder, I am including a list of this year's Collegiate Council representatives and class officers. Collegiate Council representatives include: President Pete Sordahl, Vice President Skip Bremer, Secretary Connie Kroll, and Treasurer Shelly. Lindemann. The seniors include Judy Anderson, Heidi Keibel, Connie Spiegel, Jim Raddatz, and Phil Zahn.

Juniors are Deb Bode, Becky John, Shelly Brickham, Darren Zastrow, Gerry Marowsky, and Gene Martens. Sophomores include Kristi Jacobs, Anne Gabb, Marti Klockziem, Jon Meyer, Cliff Lagerman, and Joel Grulke. And the Freshman representatives are Eva Glaeske, Kim Gabb, Becky Fastenau, Rick Cody, Andy Pappenfuss, and Chris 8andt.

The class officers include Seniors: President Sharon Mundt, Vice President Steve Biedenbender, Secretary Karen Wordell, Treasurer Sue Blauert; Juniors: President Becky Schroeder, Vice President Sarah Knobloch, Secretary Deb Bode, Treasurer Deb Frisque: Sophomores: President Paul Haag, Vice President Andy Willems, Secretary Mary Gentz, Treasurer Wanda Sordahl; and Freshman: President Mark Zoellner, Vice President 8ethel Kuckhahn, Secretary Cindy Techlin, and Treasurer Eva

soccer disappeared forever. Well then you say, what is the purpose of this article? Well sport's enthusiasts, did you know that there is a soccer club at DMLC? Yes, you could say that soccer is once again alive and "kicking."

On a bright fall day I spoke to Jeff Lillo, who incidentally is the captain, leader and president of the Soccer Club. While we talked, Jeff was at the same time doing some fancy footwork with a soccer ball, and I had problems just writing things down! He told me that this was the third year that he had been involved with Soccer Club [this was the third year of the Soccer Club's existence). It presently consists of 12-14 active members who practice every day, although they have had 20 team members for one of their two scrimmages this fall. I got the feeling while talking with Jeff that winning is not

the chief goal of the members of the soccer club, but that the chance to get together and have fun in competition was their chief purpose.

You say it sounds like fun. If you want to find out, come out and see Jeff on the practice field by the LMU gym. I am sure that you will be welcomed. Their motto should make that evident: "Be there or don't!"

Tryouts Conducted "Aladdin's

by Amy Bergman Staff Writer The hall had become a living, writhing monster.

Arms were flailing and legs were kicking. A simple walk to the lavatory had become an adventure.

What was this twisted terrible beast of the hallway?

Tryouts for cheerlead lng, pam-pans, and color guard were held during the past weeks. In the halls, determined girls practiced. It was this practicing that gave the hall an appearance of a many-legged monster.

Cheerleading tryouts were held by Kathy Pruess, the captain, on October 30.

The iudqes were Professor Marvin Meihack, Coach Drew Buck, Mrs. Pelzl.

Mrs. Schubkegel. Arr:y Gronholz, Jodi Kammholz, linda Kuske. Kara Redlin, and Kathy Pruess. While the girls performed the school song, a g~oup cheer, stunts, jumps, and kicks, they were judged for coordination. enthusiasm. pep. and smiles. Everyone worked very hard and the new members of the squad are Kris Bame, DeAnn Larson, and Janell Wolff.

The rest at the squad is made up of previous cheerleaders Anne Gabb, Kelly Gillespie, and Carrie Schmeling.

Pom-pon tryouts were conducted on November 14 by Jodi Kammholz and Linda Kuske. The judges were Mrs. Gronholz, Mrs. Pelzl. Mrs. Melzer, Lisa Plath, Amy Guenther, Kathy Pruess, Kara Redlin, Jodi Kammholz, Linda Kuske, and Jon Witgraf. Sixteen girls were chosen from about twenty-five girls who performed to the song "Invisible Touch."

Tryouts included a workshop, two practices. and a mock tryout. During tryouts the girls were judged on personal appearance. enthusiasm, precision. kicks, and group work. The girls had fun and everyone did very well.

Color guard tryouts were conducted by Lauri Forbeck and Marilyn Hanel during the third week of November. The judges were Coach Gary Dallmann, Dean Haar, Coach Leopold, and two students. Those trying out were judged in precision, mastery of the skills, and spirit.

Let us congratulate all who tried out, and especially the new members of our cheerleading, pam-pan, and color guard squads for their hard work and determination. These girls contribute very much to the Lancer spirit and pride. Football and basketball games just would not be as exciting without these hard-working and spirited girls. Congratulationsl

Have you ever dreamt of genies? Do your future goals include becoming an Arabian thief> Does the name Aladdin strike a sentimental chord?

If your answerto any of these questions is yes, then you were in the auditorium on the night of Tuesday, November 11, for the performance of "Aladdin and His Wonderful Lamp" brought to us by the National Marionette Theatre.

The National Marionette Theatre, under the artistic direction of Mr. David Svrotiak. has perlormed in this country for the past 35 years. Their program is designed not only for children, but also for adults. In addition to their regular tours, the company takes time to travel abroad every other vear. This com!ng season holds a tour of Yugoslavia, France, and England for the company.

The Theatre is not just Marionettes.

The lighting, acting, and music written by Rimsky-Korsakovand Borodin, were worthy of any Broadway show. For an hour and a half, DMLC students sat riveted and enchanted by the pageant of color brought to them through the eyes of the marionettes. Syrotiak promised us that the puppetry would be a "synthesis of the arts" and he delivered just that. and much more!

Use Your Discretion

by Cynthia J. Hahn Co-editor What is discretion? According to the American Heritage Dictionary, discretion is: 1. the quality of being discrete; circumspection.; 2. freedom to act or judge on one's own.

Now you may be curious what this has to do with us as college students at DMLC. Actually, it has a lot to do with our lives here on campus. We are to live and act as Christians at all times. always being aware of not offending another. In this. we are to use our discretion, or the freedom to act on our own.

This freedom extends not only to the written privileges given to us here on campus, but also to the unwritten privileges. One of these unwritten privileges that I am referring to is the public display of affection (otherwise known as PDA).This is an area in which we need to use our discretion to know what is right and wrong, appropriate and inappropriate. For many people on this campus, this does not seem to be a worrisome problem but to others it is! In the past few months there have been several instances noticed by students. where some people are really pushing the limits on PDA and thus not using their discretion.

Let us first of all remember, as I said earlier, we are all Christians, and being Christians; we should want to do good to our neighbor and not cause him offense. By using our proper discretion, we are able to watch what we do in order to keep ourselves from causing offense to others. We must always remember to use this discretion properly and fully to keep ourselves from falling into sin.

It may seem to some that I feel all PDA is wrong, BUT this is not at all the case. This situation has been brought to my attention by numerous people who are all concerned about it. All of us need to remember that we are representing ourfaith in Christ in all that we do.

Now, let us all remember that the privilege of PDA is just that - a privilege meaning that it can be taken away. This was the case just a few years ago. A few people can spoil it for all. So, let us all think about the actions we use and what we do, using our discretion, so that we may live a life pleasing to God, by not causing others offense and leading them to sin against yet others. Keep these things in mind and you may make a few more people more comfortable to live and walk on this campus. Use your discretion _ everyone - and we can then maybe see the results yet clearer. We are temples of God; let us also live and guide our lives in a way pleasing to Him.

help out.

I realize that the people on the various committees were few, but I also believe they enjoyed the activities immensely.

Miss Vatthauer wanted more people to get involved in order to lessen the work· load and promote school unity. These are admirable goals, I must admit.

Miss Vatthauer stated that "Those who helped had the same amount of homework as those who BEGGEDOFFwith the excuse of too much homework." I wonder if Miss Vatthauer took the time to consider that these people are on this campus to prepare themselves for the teaching ministry, as opposed to building floats, planning skits, and making decorations. I'm not putting down those who helped; on the contrary, if they had the time, more power to them. Let's not,

wanted to concentrate on their hornework.

I also had to wonder if Miss Vatthauer took the time, perhaps as much as a minute, to THINK about what some people on campus do besides homework.

Two things come to mind - jobs after school and extra curricular activities such as clubs and sports. Some people manage to handle both while juggling their school work.

Miss Vatthauer also wrote that more class spirit was exhibited than school spirit. She claimed that when more class spirit is shown than school spirit, the campus is not as unified as it could be.

Perhaps we should eliminate the pep rally at the end of spirit week because this is obviously an event that contributes to breaking the unity of the campus through the exhibition of class spirit.

The final line of Miss Vatthauer"s editorial read, "They are just as busy as vou." Unless Miss Vatthauer spoke to EVERY member of the student body, she has no business making such a statement. In the future maybe she should confine her remarks to relevant matters on campus as opposed to irresponsible accusations directed at the people who feel that mundane matters such as homework are more important to them.

It is no great thing to be humble when you are brought low; but to be humble when you are praised is a great and rare attainment.

Dear Editor: It was with some amusement 'that I read the October issue of the Messenger.

However. the amusement slowly turned to disappointment. This was a direct result of the editorial entitled "School Spirit Ouestioned." In it, Miss Vatthauer seemed to be taking offense to the fact that the number of students who were helping on homecoming activities was less than expected. She suggested that the homecoming events could have been more fun had more people been willing to

What is Thanksgiving to Me? bv Terry Graf Staff Writer According giVing Day accompanies corner. Once

to my calendar, Thanksand the vacation that it are right around the again the thought of the

coming Thanksgiving holiday conjures up reasons why we Christians prayerfully celebrate this yearly holiday. To start with, what IS Thanksgiving Day? Well, Webster's dictionary describes it as follows: "A national holiday for giving thanks to God." I guess that makes sense, but do we as Christians need a special day to remind us to thank God for all that He has done for us? Of course we don't, but in the hectic pace of college life, sometimes giving thanks to God for all the blessings He has bestowed on us gets lost in all the papers, tests, and projects we work on every day.

So it is kind of nice when Thanksgiving vacation does come and we get a chance to gather with family and friends and reflect on the things for which we should be thankful.

So I decided to pose the same question to a member of each class as to "what does Thanksgiving mean to me?"

My first stop was to see Senior Becki Renner and she summed up what Thanksgiving means to her with these words: "Thanksgiving is a time when I can praise God for all the blessings He has given me. It also provides an

opportunity for me to be with my family again and finally it means that the major assignments of my academic semester are completed."

Next I ran into Junior D.T. Berg who summed his thoughts on what Thanksgiving means to him with these words: "Thanksgiving is a chance to go home and to go to church with all the relatives, to enjoy turkey and all the fixings, and then to sit down and enjov a good football game.

Sophomore Heidi Graf provided me with a simple plea that "Thanksgiving brings back memories of last year's snow day (which actually turned Into 2 days) and that it was her fervent wish that the Lord would provide us with another one this year."

Freshmen Thomas Bruckner summed up his thoughts on what Thanksgiving means to him in these words: "God showers His blessings on me everyday, yet many times I don't even send up a simple thank-you. So Thanksgiving is like a make-up day for me to realize the love God has for me. Thanks, God." So we see that Thanksgiving is many things to different people, but the underlying feeling with most people is that this special day allows them to sit back and think about what God has done for us and is still doing every day. Then finally we can truly thank our God for the unending blessings He has showered on each of us.'

Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

The Yearbook: A College Experience

by Susan Warner Staff Writer Yearbooks - each year they are here, waiting for us to eagerly pick them up as we return to start a new year of scnooi.

We pore over them. scanning every page for familia~ faces and events. laughing at ourselves and our friends as the memories come flooding back of all the good times shared the year before.

Yearbooks definitely are memory makers.

They capture the good times and the bad, the serious moments and also the ones where students just kick back and relax.

Best of all. these memories are put together in a nice book that will last for many years so we can look back on our college years after graduation. But do you ever stop to think of just how the vearbook gets put together and who is responsible for all the work behind it? As the 'featured club of the month, the yearbook staff deserves some recoqnition for all the work they put into producing the DMLC Excelsior.

Beth Sternhagen, as Editor-in-Chief, is responsible for the overall production of the yearbook. a big responsibility which requires a lot of time and dedication. Amy Schroeder is the Copy Editor which means she is responsible for al! the words. captions. headings and paragraphs in the yearbook. Next time you have a moment, I'just glance through your yearbook and then maybe you will get an idea of how long It actually would take to first think up all the captions and then type them all. Not a simple overnight job!

As Co-Layout Editors, Carolyn Juergens and Michelle Ninmann are in charge of laying out the pictures on every page. arranging and rearranging until . e"erything is just as they want. But before they can do the layout, they first need

pictures. which are provided by Dawn Shorey, the Photography Editor, and her staff. Not to be forgotten IS Darrell Berg who handles the budgeting and diatribution of the yearbooks and also is responsible for finding patrons in New Ulm. Now that we know the People behind the scenes, let us briefly look .at what goes into making a yearbook. First the pictures are taken and for this is needed some type of event such as Homecoming, the musical. a concert. or just an ordinary event like laughing with friends or cheering in the stands. The negatives are laid out on proof sheets to be looked over by the layout staff, who mark which ones they want developed.

Once the pictures are developed. the layout crew decides how to arrange them on the pages. The next step is to provide the words, which is left up to the Copy Editor and her staff, and whatever witty sayings they come up with. The finished product IS always checked over by the editors for mistakes before being sent in to be published. Of course all this work is not left until a week before it has to be sent in. It is an ongoing process that continues throughout the school year with deadlines to meet. assignments to fulfill and meetings to attend.

Producing a yearbook is a big job, and as of now only a few people are Involved with the work. This year the-re is a real need for more workers. So next time you are sitting down and looking at your yearbook, smiling at a moment that has been captured on the page, do not forget those who worked so hard to put it all together for you. A yearbook really is a college experi_ence.and one that we all can enjoy, thanks to the work of the yearbook staff.

Lancers End Football Season

For the second consecutive year-

Lady Lancers Win National Title

by Tim Kuehl Staff Writer It was one of the longest volleys of the match, at least it seemed that way. As the crowd chanted, "Hey, Hey, Hey, goodbye," the official's whistle cut through the air. There was a pause to see who won the volley, and pandemonium erupted as the official raised her finger to give the Lady Lancers their winning point. The Lady Lancer volleyball team had won their second consecutive national title!

Words such as "terrific," "wonderful," "awesome," "great:' and "sweetness" were used to describe the victory. but it was style all the way.

The team started the tournament by playing Concordia at 11:30 on that Friday. Concordia offered some challenge, especially in the second game, but the Lady Lancers defeated them with excellent teamwork. Combining 21 sets and 7 points by Lynn Stobb, 6 points and 6 digs by BeckyValieskey, 17 passes and g points by Maria Habben, 13 sets and 6 po\nts By SheHy Lindemann. 13 passes and 7 digs by Sue Carter, and 4 team aces, the team soundly put Concordia away in two games, winning 15-9 and 15-13.

With that win the Lady Lancerswent on to face Fontbonne College. Though Fontbonne was seeded number one.

Coach Buck was not very impressed over how they played their first game, saying, "I think we can beatthem, and I think they think so, too."

And DMLC did beat them, though it was not easy. Fontbonne played strong and kept the games close, but DMLCwon again in two games with a united team effort. Maria Habben led the way with 14 points, 18 good serves, and 9 digs. Sue Carter had 23 passes and 9 assisted blocks, Shelly Lindemann and Lynn Stobb helped with 31 and 29 sets respectively, and Becky Valleskey, Carol Helwig, and Sara Henderson put together 47 hits. all to lead DMLC to victories of 15- 12 and 15- 11.

The excitement built as DMLC headed toward another national victory and built even more when Northland defeated Mundelein College to advance to the finals against us. A week before, DMLC had defeated them in the District Tournament; and now thev were looking to take nationals away from us for revenge. Both Coach Buck and Shelly Lindemann said that Northland would be tough to beat since they were out to get DMLC. Northland proved to be just that tough.

DMLC soundly defeated Northland 15-3 in the first game, and it looked as though'

DMLC would run away with the title. In the second game, DMLC pulled out ahead to a 14-5 score, but then the "tough" Northland team got going. They could only come back with five points before DMLC won 15-10, but their momentum carried into the third game. Northland took leads of 5-0 and 9-4 before DMLC could tie the game at 9-9. Northland then took the lead 10-9 and never looked back defeating the Lady Lancers 15-10.

Northland looked strong at the beginning of the fourth game, taking a 3-0 lead right away. but then their toughness ran out.

The Lady Lancers pulled together and tore away. winning the national championship match with a score of 156.

During the match, DMLC put together 12 ace spikes from Carol Helwig, 33 serving points from Shelly Lindemann and Maria Habben, 32 set assists from Lynn Stobb and Shelly Lindemann, 13 ace spikes and 4 ace blocks from Sara Henderson, and 12 ace spikes and 3 ace tips from Sue Carter. As all the statistics show, the championship was won by the whole team. Everyone on the team gave their all, and all of them really made up the All-Tournament team. But sticking out of the crowd was Sue Carter, who gave her years of skill to pull the team through some rough times; and Sara Henderson, with her powerful spiking arm, who made the All-Tournament team.

Rounding out the rest of the AIITournament team were Maureen Monahan and Dalla Traska from Mundelein, Jackie Mueller from Northland, Amy Inthihar from St. Scholastica, Tracy Anderson from Concordia, and Karen Darpel from Fontbonne, all of whom gave the spectators a great show.

But none was better than Maureen Monaham who won MVP honors by dazzling the crowd with her powerful spikes and who gave strength to her team when the chips were down.

The Lady Lancers thank the great crowd of people who came and cheered them on. They said that itwasgreat to see the school spirit so strongly with, them and that it made them f~el proud. Though the Championship may not be held at DMLC next year, which is up to the NLCAA to decide, the Lady Lancers can be assured thatthe whole school will be behind them on their way to a third national championship next year, as they did this year. Through a first place conference title. through a first place division title, and through another national Championship, is that not the winning team? Yes, that is the Lancer team!

by Sherman Unkefer Co-Sports Editor Frustration. That word is by far the best when describing this year's Lancer footba II season. There were great expectations at the start of the season based on the returning talent from a team that a year before finished 2nd in conference and had a 6-2 record. Coach Gronholz was very optimistic after the Lancers handled Waseca in a pre-season scrimmage. The Lancers appeared to be on their way to another great season.

The season's first game against Pillsbury was a rude awakening for DMLC. Pillsbury repeatedly capitalized on Lancer mistakes for an easy 32-13 victory.

The next game was against perrenial powerhouse SI. Paul Bible College. The Lancers problems continued as they turned the ball over repeatedly, but unlike Pillsbury a week before, St. Paul Bible could not capitalize and DMLC escaped with a 7-0 victory. Although they won, the Lancers knew they had to cut down the number of costly turnovers if they were to be successful.

Concordia St. Paul was the next opponent for DM'.C. Frustrating fumbles and penalties, coupled with an inadequate defensive performance led to a 3510 Lancer loss.

A rededicated Lancer team hit the field against Northwestern-Rosevilhi. This rededication showed in the first half when the Lancers trailed only 13-10 at intermission. But once again, the word turnover surfaced in DMLC's offensive vocabulary and allowed Roseville to score 28 points in the third quarter and hold on for an easy 48- 18 victory over DMLC. The Lancer's arch-rival, NWC of Watertown, faced DMLC next and in a game known as the "Mud BOWl,"scored 20 first half points while DMLCcould only muster 6. Both teams went scoreless in the second half with NWC holding on to the victory.

The last three games of the season were by far the best for the Lancers, but only one victory was attained. Against

Mount Senario, DMLC was down 15-0 at half but mounted a furious comeback behind freshmen quarterback Rick Cody.

He replaced starter Dan Johnson when Dan suffered a stretching of the ligaments in his ankle and was lostforthe year when he was placed in the prestigious hard cast with a blue flourescent "moon boot" on October 22. Cody threw two fourth quarter scoring strikes to Tim Schubkege!. but that was not enough as DMLC fell 15-13.

DMLC next faced Pillsbury, looking to avenge its season opening loss. The Lancer defense played a great game, if you exclude two long runs for touch: downs, which was all of the Comets scoring. DMLC moved the ball well, but couldn't put the ball in the end zone after Pillsbury mistakes and another loss was ensued, 14-6.

The Lancer's last game, against Maranatha, provided a release to the frustration that had been mounting all year. The Lancers completely dominated the game in every aspect. winning handily 42-20. This game left a good impression on everyone and will be a good source of inspiration for next season.

This year's leader in rushing was Mark McCormick, who gained 31 0 yards on 92 carries. Dave Biedenbender was next, . arnrnassinq 284' yardS on 79 carries. Dan Johnson completed 57 of 126 passesfor 592 yards, 3 touchdowns, and 13 interceptions. Rick Cody completed 48 of 101 passes for 547 yards, 6 touchdowns, and 7 interceptions. Tim Schubkegel led all receivers with 47 catches for 619 yards and 5 touchdowns.

The defense was led by RandyCoxwith 152 tackles, Linc Hohler with 140 tackles, and Skip Bremer with 132 tackles. Line Hohler led in quarterback sacks vith 11. Marvin Wittig led the team in interceptions with 4. Lyle Timm blocked a team-leading 3 kicks. The experience gained this season should benefit next year's team as they look to improve on this season's 2-6 record.

Bouncing Along Behind the Scenes Men's Basketball Sports Editor's Note: This month there will not be a Lancer Profile or a Lady Lancer Profile. Instead, Guest Writer Andy Willems will profile two people, without whom the various athletic teams here at DMLC would have serious problems, although neither of them ever wear a uniform on a court or field. Thanks, Andy.

which consist of a shin. shorts, socks. towels, and other "necessary" articles (you know what I mean!). All this is provided to the athletes free of charge, except for a two dollar yearly towel fee.

This is not all they do, however. What exactly does an equipment room manager do, you might ask? Obviously, they manage equipment. Anything the Athletic Depanment has ever bought for each sport is down there. Football helmets, basketballs. catcher's masks. track shoes. tennis bails. volleyball knee pads. athletic tape. game uniforms. and the like are all down there; all are put under the careful supervision of the Equiprpent Room managers" who are accountable to the Athletic Director for the equipment. But. the most work done is in the laundry room. After all the personals are turned in, they must be washed and dried for the next day's practice. The amount of time this takes may vary according to the season. In winter with basketball it may take only two or three loads of laundry and two hours time. but in the fall with football and volleyball. it may take three or more hours. In addition, consider countless hours of scrubbing and washing the game

-~~--~---by Andy Willems Guest Writer Many of us have seen the various DMLC spans teams in action. Behind every Lancer athletic team goes long, hard hours of practice for the players, coaches, managers, and trainer. Butthere are two people who put in just as much time, if not more, getting the team ready for action that the fans in the stands never see.A team's reward for the long hours of sweat is a chance to play before the fans.

But these two people get no such reward.

These two people are the equipment room managers. If you are in a span, you go to the equipment room before practice every day and get your personals.

Personals are practice clothes provided to you by the DMLC athletic depanment

uniforms tor football. repairing ripped clothing and handing out personals all add up. Not only do they do all the dirtv work of the players. but the athletes also blame them when something is not washed or it's misplaced, or it is just not the way they like it done.

Right about now you are wondering. who would ever do this thankless. troublesome job? Well, it takes two very special people. two people who are dedicated. easy¡going. disciplined. responsible people. Right now these two people are Beth Schmick (Senior) and Paul Haag (Sophomore). Every day they go down there and do their job willingly and efficiently. Not only do they enjoy their work. but they also get paid for their work because of the amount of time put in.

So next time you find yourself applauding the fine play of a Lancer team. remember all the hard work, long hours. and patience that Beth and Paul put in every day. all school year. to make the DMLC spans teams appear as professional as possible. Not enough can be said about the fine job they do. but they deserve more credit than they get. Keep up "the fine job equipment room managers!!!

by Michael Albrecht Staff Writer The snow has started to fall here in New Ulm and that means winter is here. It also means that basketball season is right around the corner.

The men's basketball team has been practicing for three weeks now as they prepare ~ortheir first game on November 22. The game is pan of a tournament which will take place at North Central Bible College.

The team will be trying to improve upon last year's 6-15 record. There are some obstacles in the Lancers way, however. They are losing three key starters from last years team. Also. the conference schedule is looking very hard.

Most of the teams have a lot of their starters back.

Faced with this. the Lancers will depend upon some new people to step in and take up the slack. Coach Buck feels that he has the talent to do this. but it may take some time for them to play together as a team.

There has been good interest in the team this year. The number of people on team has gone from the rnid-z O's to 20.

Coach Buck carries 1B people on a squad. so he wil have to make a few cuts this year.

One new thing that the Lancers will have to contend with will be a 3-point line. This could be an asset to the Lancers, since their outside ,shooting might be a little better than last vear's,

Women's Basketball

by Gene Schinzel Staff Writer The women's basketball team will try to improve on their 14¡11 record of last season as they open their season this month. Coach Leopold is entering her eleventh campaign as head coach of the Lady Lancers.

The team has a few positions open this season. as three key players graduated last year. Ann Klatt. Sue Caner. and Shelley Myers are returning starters.

Coach Leopold believes that high schools have improved the quality of the players trying out for the team. Hergoal is to be more competitive in conference play where they finished third last year, behind Concordia-St. Paul and St. Scholastica.

Practice Makes Perfect

by Patty Hennig News Editor "Okay, one more time. No, no, no!

Concentration on hitting that high note!

Last time through, let's get it right."

Weeks after weeks of practicing and hearing directions like these were finally over. Once again people came from many miles, coming close to selting out four performances. They came to see "The King and I" performed by DMLC students and children from St. Paul's Lutheran School in New Ulm. The King of the country Siam requests a schoolteacher from England, Mrs. Anna, to come to teach the royal children of his country. He wants them to learn of Western culture. Sir Edward Ramsey is a British diplomat who visits Siam because England is contemplating making Siam its protectorate. The King wants to impress Sir Edward and prove that he is not a barbarian. How will he be able to prove this without enlisting the help of this woman schoolteacher from England?

Surely he, the king of Siam, can't ask Mrs. Anna to help. Mrs. Anna does indeed help without the King's request. She dresses the wives of the King in European fashion and gives a theatrical performance. It is a success and they prove that the people of Siam are a civilized people. Sir Edward reports back to Queen Victoria with this good news. Despite the King trying so hard to change, in the end he still had some of his barbaric ways and died with them. His son, however, had learned well from Mrs. Anna and during his reign chanqedsome of the laws of the land.

It was a success for all. Directors. producers. and choreographers sat proudly .to watch. Cast. chorus. and orchestra performed well. Conqratulations to all and thank you to everyone who helped out.

CHILDREN'S EYES

by Joy Panzer and Annmarie Krueger Staff Writers "Now thank we all our God, with hearts and hands and voices," For what? Just about anything and everything according to the students at Faith Lutheran School in Anchorage, Alaska who were asked what they were most thankful for in this issue of the Messenger.

I am thankful for my Thanksgiving Party that I am going to have, because I get to invite my very best friends, and have lots of candy. I am also thankful for my bulldog puppies, and that all eleven of them lived, and that we have 3 sold.

Heather Rule

One thing I'm thankful for is color T.V. Because black and white is too boring.

And Saturdays are important too because I can catch up on my sleep. But the most important thing I'm thankful for is my faith in Christ, Jesus.

The two things I am most thankful for are my parents and my friends. My parents I am thankful for because they rove me and do things for me like take me to church and take me sledding and skiing. Friends are always nice because you can trust them and have someone to play with.

Tasha L. Lillo 3rd Grade

Lauralee Whitt 5th Grade

I thankful for food. I thankful for God. I thankful for mom dad. I thankful for you.

Crystal Dotson 3rd Grade

I am thankful for having the army or air force and so on because if we didn't we might get hurt by the enemies that they have. I am thankful for teachers and schools because if you don't have any you would be dumb and you won't get an education, and most of all a ,cburch, because to learn Gods word.

Jenny Shilts 5th Grade

I am thankful for the turkey I eat and for the wonderful things food there is to eat. I am thankful for everything I get and every time I eat and I am thankful the next day is my Birthday isn't that something to be thankful for.

Tia Myren 3rd Grade

The thing I'm most thankful for is Alaska, because I like all the" beauty and

great hunting, fishing, and outdoor recreation that Alaska has to offer.

Nathan Andrews 6th Grade The things I'm most thankful for are parents, a home, and a church. Parents because they take care of me, a home because we'd probably die if we didn't have it, and church because we probably wouldn't know God. Mike Klebs 6th Grade One thing I'm thankful for is myfamily, I love my mother and father and my two sisters, Lauralee and Maggie. I am also thankful for the Holy Bible, God's word.

I'm thankful that I live in the United State of America, and that I do not live in places where I could not read the Bible.

Buddy Whitt 7th Grade The thing I am most thankful for is my room because without it I wouldn't have any privacy.

Chris Rinard 7th Grade

Mystery Prof Last month's Mystery Prof. was tougher than I expected, but we did receive one correct answer from Bonnie Yotter who guessed Professor Carmichael.

For the month of November we have a professor who has some kind of teaching contact with all classes on campus. This professor was born in Manitowoc. WI, and also attended high school there. His education continued at DMLC. Mankato State, and the University of Minnesota.

His interests. include music. gtassware. and bells. He has enjoyed visiting Europe and areas of the western United States.

Remember, you can't win a free gift certificate to the Round Table if you don't give it a try!! The first four correct guesses to Box 274 will win. Good Luck!l!

Saving Pennies

by Gene Martens Guest Writer If you were asked to choose the two changes on campus which came about this summer that delighted you the most, what would you answer? Well, my answers, and I think some of you would tend to agree, were the ice cream machines and the expanded salad bar in our cafeteria. Although we are close to completing our first semester, my excitement is still growing. The student body's attitude towards our meals has been on an upswing. This improved atmosphere may not be as evident to our new students, but hey guys, enjoy it. We veterans are glad you didn't have to witness bagels stuck to the walls, or brat buns in the fans. If you stop to consider it, there are only two times we are all together chapel and meals. The atmosphere in these two places has a definite impact on our campus life. We

have all noticed how an exceptionally uplifting chapel service spills into the hallways and across campus. I believe our attitudes towards our meals generate this same penetrating energy. To those of you who have been wondering if Mr. Tagues budget got a boost, I'll let you in on a secret: No, it didn't. All the ice cream and salad makings come out of the usual budget. The fresh mushrooms alone cost $45/week, that's $1600 this year just for the mushrooms. Now, I'm not asking you to ration your mushrooms, but would like you to realize that our added delights are expensive with no added charge to us.

When I worked in the cafeteria, guilt often plagued me when I saw the waste coming through the dishroom. We all do it, Not only are we wasting God's gifts, but we are also cheating ourselves. In a Food Committee meeting Mr. Tague told us, "It's not the dollars I worry about, they spend themselves. But the pennies we

save make the difference." ~f each student could cut waste by just one penny a meal. in a month's time we would have saved $400. What that $400 a month means is a steak dinner. It is difficult for us to conceptualize how we can individually make a difference, but let's try it. One glass of coke costs six cents. If you send it back one-third full, you've thrown out two cents. A serving of pudding costs about thirteen cents. If you eat half, at least six cents is being lost.

What this means for each of us is that we need to be choosy. Think about what you would like, and if you will be able to eat it all. Share your desert with a friend if the piece is too big, or if you're full take it back. If you'd like you can exchange it for a piece of fruit you can take with you. Talk to the servers. Let them know if you want only one sandwich, or just a few fries. By putting forth some extra effort ourselves. like refilling our glasses instead of filling

three the first time through, we can cut down on our personal waste. Perhaps one of our biggest downfalls lies in wasting condiments.

Condiments include mayonnaise. ketchup, mustard, butter, etc. We often plop a glob on our tray, realizing later we took enough for five. I don't want to bore you with facts, butthe mayo our cafeteria uses is Miracle Whip at $22/case. Cheap salad dressing can be bought at only $12/case, but that would be like telling mom to buy generic peanut butter over Jif. By working together and looking for ways we can - personally eliminate waste, we will essentially be giving our food service the budget boost we thought they already received. If together as a student body we can tighten up our end of this, we will come out the winners. What this all translates into is: More Money to Work With Still Better.

Meals. Start saving your pennies.

From the Editors Jesus is the Reason for the Season Mistakes ate lessons for the wise.

by LuAnn Vatthauer Co-Editor When you think of Christmas, of what do you think? Bright lights, Santa Claus, Christmas trees decorated with ornaments and tinsel. snow, visiting relatives. going home. and giving and receiving presents are some of the things people connect with Christmas. But wait, aren't we forgetting someone far more important. the main reason for this special holiday?

A few weeks before Thanksgivmg vacation, I saw a poster on a door while walking down a hallway in the dorm. The poster read, "Jesus is the Reason for the Season." I stood there and thought about those words - words which were thought provoking.

That catchy saying is true. If Jesus would not have been born, there would not be Christmas.

How many people actually realize the truth in the seven words of the saying?Getting caught in the things that make Christmas Christmas and forgetting Jesus is not hard to do. The world pushes earthly pleasures instead of the real reason for Christmas, Jesus' birth in Bethlehem.

December is a very busy month. This month is filled with get-togethers with friends and relatives. Some time has to be spent shopping for Christmas presents. It is easy for

Poetry Corner As snow falls gently to the ground, And Christmas spices circle round, Fires crackle on the hearth And thoughts turn toward the Savior's birth, I wish to you a joyous year Filled with love and Christmas cheer.

Christians to temporarily forget the true meaning of Christmas.

During December just remember these seven simple words: "Jesus is the Reason for the Season."

Plays Delight Seniors

by Terry Gr.' Staff Writer On November 12th, fifty-four seniors and seven members of the DMLC faculty boarded a bus and a van tor tne annual senior trip to the Chanhassen Dinner Theatre in Chanhassen, Minnesota. The excitement was evident as the sight of the bus was greeted warmly (especially

by Connie Kroll). The members of the senior class boarded the bus with visions of a memorable bus ride, dinner, and a play flashing through their heads.

The bus trip started out as usual, except for some daring driving by "Vernie," the happy-go-lucky bus driver. Rumor has it that the one hour and forty-five minute trip took only one hour and twenty minutes. Oh well, we all made it in one piece! The excitement and anticipation increased as we left the bus. We were early, so we spent some time walking around, taking pictures, and shopping.

Yes, shopping! The Chanhassen Dinner Theatre hasmany attractions besides its dramatic productions to offer. As the magic hour of 6:00 p.m. drew closer, the various groups returned to the portion of the theatre where the play they were going to see would be produced. At 6:00 p.m. the doors to the four dinner theatres opened and the four groups separated for their dinner portion of the evening. Each group had the option of seeing either My Fair Lady, I Do! I Do!, Sleuth, or The Foreigner. Each play was preceeded by a delicious dinner. One of the highlights of the dinner was the dessert menu, from which most people ordered. The "oohs and aahs" could be heard throughout the dining area as the desserts were served.

Promptly at 8:00 p.m. the curtain went up, and for the next two-and-one-half to three hours the audience was held spellbound by the magic of the Chanhassen troupe. For an idea of what each play was about and how the OMLCseniors reacted to their particular play, I asked four DMLC senior women their impressions.

Our first stop was at the DinnerTheatre where My Fair Lady was being produced.

Bonnie Ruch provided us with this view of this play: "My Fair Lady truly was the fairest musical of them all. It comes as no surprise that this play ran for six and a half years totalling 2.717 performances after it's first opening on Broadway in 1956.

Chanhassen's "Fair Lady," Delrae Novak, was a superb actress and sang with c:. clear, strong voice. Lowry Miller, also known as "Henry Wiggins" brought a new dimension to the character of the stiff-necked professor.

The whole evening was full of fun and spectacle in

the true 01' English "!ay." Bonnie agreed that this play was -exciting.

Next, we ambled over to the Playhouse Theatre where I Do! I Do! was produced. and talked with Ruth Dalbey about this zany play: "I Do! I oot is a funny, light

With all that is going on ... exams, final papers, the Christmas concert.

musical about marriage. There was only the couple in the cast. The show begins with the nervous young couple getting married and returning to their new house.

Not long after, they have their first child, a son, and then later a daughter. The show' proceededthrcuqhtha upsand downs of marriage:Th-eir children get married, and路 then the couple is old and leaving their big house to a new young couple." Ruth felt that although this was a funny and humorous musical, it is not a musical she would like to see over and over - in fact not until she is married for twenty years!

Ruth, are you trying to tell us something?

Our next stop was at the Courtyard Theatre where Kathy Pruess was waiting to fill us in on Sleuth. Here is what she says: The Sleuth is a murder game played between a husband and his wife's lover.

The Sleuth was exactly what it was said to be - a murder game. It consisted of the husband pretending to kill his wife's lover through a fake burglary. Then the lover got back at the husband by pretending to be a detective and totally accusing him of murdering his wife's lover. Kathy would no' reveal the ending and said you would have to see it yourself to find out.

Our last stop on the evening was at the Fireside Theatre where Beth Schmick was waiting patiently for her impressions of The Foreigner: "Gok?" "Blit?" What sort of nonsense is that? For the seniors who saw The Foreigner, these terms made perfect sense. This zany play caused an uproar of laughter from the audience, not to mention occasional sighs of satisfying warmth and delight.

The play was a story about a shy Englishman who poses as a foreigner so he won't have to talk to strangers while staying at a fishing lodge resort in Georgia. The ruse backfired in the course of a bizarre plot.

During his stay at the resort, the foreigner helped the other lodgers learn to communicate and to discover self worth by giving ratherthan taking. If there was a lesson to be learned from this play, that would be it. What a fitting end to a wonderful evening.

At 11: 15 p.m. sixty-one very sleepy people re-boarded the bus for the return trip to New Ulm. Everyone agreed that the memory of Chanhassen and its plays, the wonderful dinner, and the bus ride would remain in our hearts and minds for a long time!

'Page 3

you probably have not had much time to think about the upcoming weeks, Christmas vacation. Most of us think about the vacation; about how we are going to get some sleep, or go see friends from home, or how it is 'only a few weeks long and then we have to come back. But what about Christmas? Take time now, before you make the trip home, to think about it.

Most of tis when we get home will have to 'do some Christmas shopping. So we go to the nearest mall with our list of gifts.

There we see aII the stores decorated in lights, streamers, and candy canes. And of course, there is always a Santa Claus greeting the children. In this air, one can feel the Christmas spirit coming, and when it does, we look forward to those two great days arriving, As the days approach, the anticipation grows. While wrapping your gifts, you can't help but have,a good feeling about Christmas by thinking how much joy the receiver will have when opening the present you had gotten him. But it doesn't stop there. The anticipation grows when you see the presents for you sitting under the tree, and you wonder what you will get this year. Will you get the gift you asked for all year?

Christmas would not be Christmas if it were not for Christ's birth. So we go celebrate His birthday on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, At church we see the beautiful Christmas tree lit and decorated

"Don't we all wish?"

with ornaments near the altar. We also hear the sweet sounds of favorite Christmas songs that we only hear once a year. The people are all smiling, and there is peace, joy, and a feeling of comfort.

Back at home, Grandmother's house, or wherever you spend Christmas, the Christmas dinner is being cooked. The smell of turkey, mashed potatoes, corn, and other favorite dishes fill the air, and 'make vou very hungry. [Ouite a change from cafeteria food.) Relatives you have not seen for ages may be there, and you enjoy many long conversations with them, Your own Christmas tree is decorated with your favorite lights and ornaments that you may have put on the tree yourself and is now shining in the corner of the living room for all to see.

Outside, allover the city, there are homes with outside lights that you stare at in awe. Suddenly, you find yourself unexpectantly under the mistletoe getting a peck on the cheek from one of your favorite people. You say tovourselt. "This is great. A time to rest, be happy, and forget about lastsemester.

At last the' moment has come to see what you get for Christmas. With delight you receive the things you wanted and also some things you wanted but forgot all about. It is nice to know someone remembered. Afterwards some carolers stop ,by to. ttlP, off the ,day.

After it all, when the tree is finally taken down. and the new year brings in other thoughts, the Christmas spirit and memories fade away until next year. But it really doesn't have to.

Just think about it ... again.

Lancers off to a Good Start Men's

Basketball

by Sherman Unkefer Co-Spans Editor The men's varsity basketball team opened their 1986-87 basketball season With a 86-50 thrashing of Associated Free Lutheran Bible College in the first round of the North Central Invitational Tournament in Minneapolis.

The game saw the Lancers make many eariy mistakes. but this was overcome by DMLC outscoring AFLBC 30-9 midway through the second half. Mark Eisenmann and Jeremy Thiesfeldt led the Lancers with 16 points each. Sherman Unkefer had 11 and Nate Kieselhorst had 10.

DMLC met North Central next to decide the championship of the tournament. The score was close throughout the game with the lead changing hands numerous times in the second half. With the game tied at 66, North Central hit a 3 point field goal with four seconds left to defeat the Lancers 69-66, DMLC was led by Jeff Smith's 17 points, Mark Eisenmann's 16, and Eric Paulsen's 15, The Lancers next game was against Bethany and saw the Lancers build a lead of 14 pomts in the second half only to fall 69-66. DMLC scored only 24 points in the second half, while Bethany mounted a comeback and stole the victory. Eisenmann had 27 points and Jeff Smith added 20 to lead the scoring for the Lancers,

Women's Basketball

by Michael Albrecht Staff Writer The Lady Lancers started their season off in fine fashion winning their first game 67-64, The game was an exciting one and ended up in overtime.

Last year the Lady Lancers had an overall record of 14-11, They hope to reach Nationals, as they did last year. One of their primary goals is to finish first in conference and hopefully finish high in District competition.

Although it is still early in the season, Coach Leopold thinks that this year's team could be better offensively than last year's, She said that the Lady Lancers are seeing the whole court very well. She also saw many positive things in the first game and hopes they continue throughout the season.

that the fact that the team has no seniors causes no problems, as "others have picked up the leadership usually given by seniors.

Mark feels his best asset as a basketball player is something that can't be developed, his height, He enjoys "winning a lot." and "performing to your full potential and playing as good as you can." He just finished a football season, a season in which he was named Second Team Ail-Conference, He sees a major difference in conditioning between the two sports. "Just because you're in shape for football doesn't mean you are in shape for basketball. You carry 20 extra pounds of equipment in football and there's much more jumping and running in basketball."

This year's Lancer team has 7 new players, and has lost three of last year's starters. Mark is looking forward to this season. "This young team is very talented. They will make some mistakes, but will hustle and are quick and teamoriented." Mark feels his role, besides leadership, is to be consistent offensively and defensively, and to keep the team up when it is down.

Coach Buck has seen a lot of improvement in Mark's game over the past season, "He has really improved on

defense the past 1% years, and has been looking for a shot more offensively." This can be seen by the Bethany game earlier this season, in which Mark scored 27 points in a losing cause, Coach Buck describes Mark as an "animal underneath the boards," Mark has had several coaches who made a good impression on him along the way. His. father was his grade school coach for four years. "He taught me everything I needed." His next step was Lakeside Lutheran High School, where Coach Dale Walz was his basketball coach, "He was a good coach who stressed having positive mental attitude. Your worst opponent is yourself.

If you work hard, you're a winner."

Coaches Buck and Gronholz at DMLC also stress having a positive attitude, Mark says, "All good coaches stress that, and they are good coaches," Some of the special moments Mark remembers during his stay at DMLC are winning the Trojan Classic his freshman year, winning the Lancer Classic his sophomore year, and being a member of the Lancer football team that went 6-2 last year, including a victory over Northwestern College. "The Iceman" also considers the student body involvement in the school's sports teams special. "It gives you a good feeling to see everyone, You are .not playing for yourself, you are playing for them and for your school. It makes the game more fun."

Mark feels that the basketball and football teams he has played on here will be a great help to him after he enters the teaching ministry, "It helps you put competitiveness into the proper perspective, It will help me coach and teach.

I would like to coach almost any sport, especially the ones I played," As the Lancers continue their schedule this 1986-1987 season, keep an eye on the "Iceman," Mark Eisenmann.

Remember, this is a guy who likes "winning a lot." and he will continue to lead this young team to hopefully reach that goal.

"He was our speech teacher. He gave a speech once on how to shoot a free throw, That IS a major reason why I am a good free throw shooter today, He was the Varsity softball coach. and he

Similar to the men's basketball team, the Lady Lancers also have a very young team, They have three returning starters and only one senior, Ann Klatt. and one junior, Shelley Myers, Shelley says this is not a problem, as "everybody works well together as a team." She feels the Lady Lancers will have a fine season, as they have some height and some younger players who have some experience.

Shelley enjoys the "teamwork" aspect of basketball the most, Her high free throw percentage and her defensive ability are what she feels to be her best assets. As a co-captain (with Ann Klatt) Shelley provides a leadership quality to go along with her shooting ability and defense. Softball is another sport that Shelley takes part in. and she considers them about equal. as she can't pick one over the other, She has two special moments that stick out in her mind of athletic memories while here at DMLC. one from each sport she plays, Last year's Lady Lancer season. in which they played in Districts and Nationals. is a top memory. as is her freshman softball season.

recognized people's ability, and played people because of their ability, not because they were an upperclassman or because of their name," One particular person she looked up to was her brother.

"He really taught me a lot about sports."

As she was growing up. Shelley enjoved playing all sports. including tackle football. "I was usually the only girl. playing with a bunch of guys. We used to play tackle football all the time." She also enjoys reading and collecting teddy bears. teddy bear posters. and anything else that has to do with teddy bears.

Shelley also hopes that coaching has something to do with her future, "I feel that because I played sports I will be better able to' understand players' feelings. and that will make me a better coach," She hopes to coach basketball. softball and maybe volleyball.

A full section of bleachers. filled with Lady Lancer fans, is a great help for the team as a whole. "It really relieves tension when we come out and see a lot of people cheering us on,"

Coaching has played a big part in Shelley's success as a basketball player, When she attended grade school at St. John's in Jefferson, WI. Mr. Lohse was her basketball and softball coach, "He made a big impression on me. He

The Lady Lancers have gotten off to a good start. and hopefully their winning ways will continue, Shelley Myers is a major reason for their early success, and hopefully she will be one of the people to lead them back to the Nationals,

Times to Remember - Student Teaching bv James Raddatz.

Staff Writer Several weeks have passed since the return of the first quarter student teachers to DMLC from the Appleton, Wisconsin area. The twenty seniors. myself included, have thousands of stories to tell about their "education." If these success stories were to be compiled into a book. it would certainly-be a "best-seller" in our circles. The novel would have all of the components of a good novel interesting characters, high action and suspense, a well-developed plot, and, of course, a happy ending. This book would be a brief look at the lives of twenty "green teachers"-their personal trials, tribulations, and joys of the teaching ministry, Such a novel would certainly contain tales of hope, humor, life, tove, and friendship, but most importantly it would be the account of twenty dedicated servants to the ministry of The Word.

Until that novel is written. however, you will have to settle with the following selections of "humorous experiences," Dawn Ristow - First Grade (First German.

Manitowoc) I had nineteen first graders ADORABLE!We were doing a lesson with the "sh" sound in reading. The students were to raise their hands and give me an example of a word beginning with the "sh" sound. "Shoe," "Shirt," and "She" were some of the examples, Then one girl raised her hand and said "&%C$&@C." What could I say?

Cathy Tinkey - Kindergarten and First Grade (Bethany, Manitowoc) One of my favorite pastimes while student teaching was collecting variations of my last name. Since I have had my name my entire life, I don't think it is such a difficult name to pronounce.

WRONGI Some of my first graders and most of my kindergarteners went to great lengths to massacre it. I was called Miss Binky, Blinky, Pinky, Twinkle. and Miss Winky to name just a few, I can't wait to see what next year brings!

Kristen Loeffler - First through Fourth Grades (Trinity, Manitowoc) Dne day I heard someone dribbling a basketball down the hall during recess.

"Knowing" it was one of my students. I said in my firm, teacher-voice. "WE DO NOT DRIBBLE BALLS IN THE HALl''' I was embarrased when the principal walked in carrying the basketball he had been dribbling.

Patti Ebel - First Grade (St. Paul, New Ulm) The last day of student teaching, Judy Bleichwehl and I brought marble cup, cakes as a treat for the children. They were all enjoying their cupcakes when one of the girls said, "Oh vuck! Miss Ebel, I have something icky in the middle of my cupcake!" The "something icky" in her cupcake happened to be the chocolate of the marble mix. Df course, being typical first graders, the entire class had the "yuck!" epidemic.

Jim Raddatz - Seventh and Eighth Grade (Bethany, Manitowoc) We were having a special "dress-up" day one of the last Fridays. Supposedly it was going to be Nerd Day. Everything was going great until I started with my morning devotion. The bus that brought the country children to school wasn't in yet but. as usual. I started right on time with the devotion. I hadn't said more than two or three sentences when the two bus children walked in. One was dressed "normal" while the other decided to wear a lovely purple skirt and blouse. That would have been perfect if the student would have been a girl, but he wasn't.

Needless to say it was a very exciting morning with "her."

Those are just a sampling of what the "real world" of teaching is all about. If you have the time, ask one of the student teachers about the times to rememberstudent teaching first quarter.

On behalf of the first quarter student teachers, I would like to thank Dr. Wendler for the encouragement given to all of us while we were under "his wings," Thanks, from all of usl Thank vous ought also to be extended to the rest of. the college faculty for giving us the education that enabled us to do as well as we did.

And. most Importantly, thank you. GOD, for giving us the opportunity to be your servants!

Praise we the LORD! HALLELUJAHI

Pieces of Late Due to the timing of our last issue, we were not able to include the list of 1986·87 Pam Pan squad. Although the squad has been practicing together for a few weeks already, I would still like to say Congratulations' to the new squad members. The squad includes: Sheri Isensee, Shelly Brickham, Lorna Fenske, Linda Schapekahm, Donna Zimmerman, Vicki Tomhave, Lori Roekle. Kim Wagner, Amy Mertens, Becky Propst, Dawn Roxbury, Daneen Enter, Bethel Kuck· hahn, Becky Schultz. Mary Gentz, and Donna Indermuehle. Captains this year are Lorna Fenske and Linda Schapekahm.

Congratulations once again.

God's Blessings and Best Wishes are extended to the ten seniors graduating on December 18, 1986. Always keep at heart the Bible passage you chose as your class verse: Phil. 4:13 "I can do every· thing through Him who gives me strength."

Thought of the day: Your last class of the first semester is now over, and in a few short days we will be on our way home!

Good luck on semester exams! Do your best and the rest will fall into place.

Top·ranking students from the 198586 school year were given scholarship awards of $2DO each by the faculty upon recommendation of the Financial Aid Committee. Ten students from each class, freshman, sophomore, and junior, received these scholarships. Awards to this year's top-ranking freshman wi I! be made at the end of the first semester.

Finally, may God's richest blessings be with you during this holiday season. As we celebrate the joy 01 the birth of the Savior, may your days be brightened with God's love. "Glory be to God on high, and on earth, peace good will to all men."

Have a semester!

Scholarships and grants are becoming more and more important to the students attending DMLC, so that they may complete their study of preparing for the teaching ministry. Many people realize this need as did Prof. and Mrs. Erich Sievert. The Sieverts know that the cost of education is riSing and the availability of funds to get you through college is decreasing, so they decided to alleviate the need for some students to borrow the large amounts, Recently Prof. and Mrs. Sievert donated $2,000 to the college to establish a scholarship fund in the name of his father, Louis C, Sievert, in commemoration of the more than 350 years in the teaching ministry served byhis family, The fund, called "The Louis C. Sievert Scholarship Fund", has now also received $2,5DO more from 3 other members of the family. Through this growing amount, the college is looking forward to awarding around $4DD each year from this fund. This amount will

increase if the fund increases.

With the close of our academic year, Prof. Erich Sievert will have fulfilled 55 years in the teaching ministry. Many of the teachers in our synod's schools have benefitted from his Instruction. Prof.

Sievert also has 3 sisters and 3 brothers who served in the teaching ministry. It is evident that the Sieverts have devoted themselves to God's Word and the spreading of the Gospel.

Just as the Sieverts joyfully spread God's Word, may we also spread His Word and devote Ourlives to the teaching ministry of God. May the establishment of this scholarship fund serve to the glory of our gracious God, and benefit those who are the recipients of this scholarship. A special thank you is extended to the Louis C. Sievert family for so graciously giving their donation so that others may benefit as they study for the teaching ministry and follow in the paths the Sieverts and others have set.

CHILDREN'S EYES

Last month's Mystery Prof.

Collegiate Council Durls

by Amy Bergman Staff Writer Students. do you realize that you are being represented by a collegiate council with no officers? President Pete Sordahl, vice-president Steve Bremer. secretary Connie Kroll. and treasurer Shelley Lindemann are all out student teaching.

However. filling in are Gene Martens as president. Heidi Keibel as secretary. and Judy Anderson as treasurer. Gene. Heidi. and Judy. along with the rest of our representatives. have been doing a very fine job this year.

Some of the annual duties of the collegiate council involve representing the students and planning Homecoming week. arranging bus rides to the Twin Cities for airplane rides home for vacations. and organizing the Snow Carnival and Spring Banquet.

Last semester the collegiate councu put in much time and hard work planning the bus rides to the airport. Names and times all have to be arranged and rearranged as more sign up or as some drop out and for those who signed up and did not show up. Finally all worked out well.

everybody arrived safely home for the holidays. and the collegiate council must be praised for another job well done.

Another big job for the collegiate council is the planning of the Snow Carnival. This year the carnival will be the week of February 1 to February7. and the theme is "Disney's Winter Wonderland."

Sunday will be the Senior/Faculty basketball game. Thursday is competition Night. Friday is the coronation. and Saturday is the broomball competition.

The council has chosen the court and is looking for people to participate in the broomball and ice sculpture cornpetitions. Thanks to the collegiate council and their hard work. this year's Snow Carnival will be exciting and fun for everyone.

Now that you have read this article and know what a great job our collegiate council has been doing. I must admit that I lied to you. The collegiate council did not durf. I only said that to get your attention. Perhaps this article should have read "Collegiate Council: Another Job Well DoneI"

by Susan Warner Staff Writer Excitement filled the air on Sunday as recital time swiftly approached, Tami Engel no doubt felt more than a little apprehensive as she prepared to start off the hour's worth of music which had taken over a year of preparation to perfect.

January 18 was the date. 3:30 was the time. and for all those who attended this organ recital. it was well worth the time spent. Tami began the recital with a piece

by Johann Walther, his "Concerto in B Minor", This piece consisted of two vigorous allegro movements which surrounded a slower adagio section.

"Mein Junges Leben Hat em End" was the second piece. composed by Jan Sweelinck. This piece consisted of seven variations which represented different areas of Sweenlinck's life as he was looking back over it No organ recital is complete without Bach. The selection played was his Prelude and Fugue in G Major. Written by Bach in his youth. this piece was meant to show youthful happiness and lightheartedness, which was certainly brought out in Tarni's periormance.

Following a short intermission, Tami continued with perhaps the most difficult and longest piece of the recital. the "Concerto in A Minor" by Cesar Frank.

The music varied greatly throughout the

Recital

piece, starting with lively arpeggios and then changing to a hymn-like theme.

Marcel Dupre composed the next piece which had the interesting title. "I Am Black But Comely." The text of this piece was inspired by the Biblical book of Solomon and depicts the relationship between Christ and his Church. The recital ended on a lively note as Tarni played her favorite. "Toccata from Symphony V" by Charles Wider. Tami described this piece as being fun to play because of all the sixteenth notes.

Tami Engel, a junior from Monticello, MN. is no stranger to the keyboard.

Besides the past five years of organ instruction, she has had piano lessons since the second grade. As a music concentrate at DMLC. Tami is taking Organ Three; this recital is needed to fulfill the requirements of the course.

Much practice went into preparing for this recital. Tami actually began choosing pieces and practicing in October of 1985.

Her usual ten hours of practicing a week increased to about sixteen hours as recital time approached. Her teacher, Professor Engel (no relation!). she described as being "demanding, but he is a big help too." We Wish Tami God's blessings as she hopes to go on to get her Master's Degree in music at the University of Minnesota and we thank her for providing us with a very enjoyable recital.

"Cameleon Christians"

by James Raddatz Staff Writer I don't remember the exact time I first heard the phrase "chameleon-Christians" used in reference to a fellow believer; alii know is that it means as much 'to me today as it did then, if not more, Allow me to ask you one simple question, "Are you a chameleonChristian?r Perhaps I should first explain what a chameleon-Christian is. It is an individual who, like the chameleon lizard, changes his appearance for safety reasons. Let me give you an example of what I mean: A Chameleon-Christian is a believer (Christian) Who could be mistaken for an unbeliever because his/her actions hide him/her from being labeled a Christian. In effect it is goil)g contrary to Christ's command to "let your lights shine

by Cynthia Hahn Co-editor On Sunday, January 18, 1987, it pleased the Lord to take out of this vale of tears, to Himself in heaven, the soul of Rochelle Gloria Thelke. Rochelle died at Ramsey General Hospital, Ramsey County Minnesota following a three-car traffic accident.

Presently a student at DMLC, Rochelle was born on December 11, 1963, to Richard and Gloria Thelke in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin.¡She was a 1982 graduate of the University of Wisconsin Center-Fond du Lac. Rochelle was active in both her community and her church. She was a member of the Fond du Lac Community Band and the UW Jau Band, along with an active membership in the chorus. She was also a member of the North Fond du Lac girls' softball program and was active In the sports program at the UW campus.

While attending DMLC, Rochelle was etso an active member of the music division, participating in the band program here on campus, While using her God-given musical ability, Rochelle also was a member of the Treble Choir where she accompanied many songs

with various instruments.

Funeral services were

held on Wednesday, January 21, at St. Paul's Lutheran Church in North Fond du Lac, WI. Her burial took place at the Ledgeview Memorial Park Cemetery.

Friday. January 23, a specie! memorial service was held in memory of Rochelle.

The service was conducted by Dean Thomes Zarling. He chose Isaiah 55:6-9 as his words of comfort for his sermon. In the sermon, Dean Zarling spoke of seeking the Lord first because He is what life is all about. We can see from this that the Lord is our strength and Savior. With our trust and faith in Him, we have the assurance of eternal life. The Treble Choir beautified the service with the anthem, "My Jesus is My Lasting Joy," which once again reassured us that "He reigns above and, in His love, will keep me st His side."

Rochelle is survived by her parents, one sister Kathryn, her maternal grandparents, her paternal grandmother, and John Orvis, to whom-Rochelle was to be engaged to be married. Rochette is else survived by many close friends in Christ.

Rochelle had many special moments In her life. The most special is being brought to faith in God, which she showed every day of her life. She has been taken from us, but we shall all once again join her when we together join to meet our Savior on the Last Day. May God bless the lives of the survivors and strengthen all who mourn her death ..Our comfort is in Christ, for we know that through His redeeming work, we shall all have the joy of eternal life. Live your life for Christ for that is what life is all about. ."Jesus lives! and now is death but the gate of life immortal; This shall calm my trembling breath When I pass its gloomy portal. Faith shall cry, as fails each sense,

Jesus is my confidence!"

before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven."

(Matthew 5: 16) Man's tendency. to sin is by no stretch of the imagination expected to be removed from us here on "God's hill" - we know that we are all sinners and we also know that all of our sins are forgiven freely through the grace or \:100: wt: AHt: NOT EXCEPTIONS BECAUSEWE ARE TRAINING FORTHE PUBLIC MINISTRYI But neither can we afford to do, through Christian liberty. and Christian rights, something that may become a stumbling block to another's faith, So what does this mean to you? I don't know; all I know is what it means to me, It means that I might have to tell someone that their behavior is unnecessary, that their language is inappropriate, or that their taste in entertainment could use some evaluation. It also means that I will have to tell myself the exact same thing, because I don't want to blend into the evil of this world, I want to let my light shine for Jesus who died on Calvary for you and mel How about you?

Valentines Ideas

by Pete Schaewe Staff Writer Valentine's Day approaches, Some of you may be excited about that, fact, You hope for cards, or candy, or-best of aliflowers, Others of you may not seem so enthusiastic, You say we could live without this special day; its just something else you have to spend some money on, But the bet is you are still hoping for cards, or candy, or-best of ali-flowers, How would all of you feel if you were passed over on Valentine's Day? Your mailbox is empty, The lobby is flowerless, Your friends went to dress-up dinner without you.

You feel pretty putrid, don't you?

Chances are most of you have no reason to worry, For your Valentine's Day will be special.

But can you think of somebody who won't feel special? Can you think of someone who will be passed over, whose day wi II be lousy?

Can you do something about it?

Last year an article in this newspaper encouraged you to celebrate Valentine's Day by letting that person you think is special know that you care.

The encouragement still stands for Valentine's Day 1987.

But this year presents an additional encouragement. This year seek out that person who will feel neglected on the holiday and show that you care.

The card doesn't have to be big. The candy doesn't have to be expensive. The flower can be a daisy. The feeling doesn't have to be intense; a simple greeting may brighten a day. A smile may turn the holiday around.

And you can do it.

For whom? There's that girl who is pretty much a loner, but who sometimes gets up the nerve to hang around with you and your friends. Invite her to eat dinner

Impressions Kevin Loersch from Bethlehem Ev. Lutheran School sent us these expressive thoughts from the seventh graders of his school.

When I arrived at Dr. Martin Luther College it looked very big. As I went on tour it was even larger than I figured it would be. I said to myself, "If I went here, I might have a chance of getting lost:' There are more different types of classes taught there than I imagined, like art, music and acting. What surprised me was a lot of DMLC is sports. While we were there we watched a championship volleyball game. We also watched a play, "The King and I", performed by students.

It was very entertaining.

There were many different types -of students attending school there. Some seemed to party more than others - they were just out to have a good time. Some girls helped us around and were very considerate.

It was really neat to see student's rooms. They try to make it so much like home.

I really enjoyed the chance of visiting

How about the person who lives next to you in the dorm? Was she remembered?

Neglect may be closer than you think.

DMLC. It has very well laid out buildings.

It's a place I would like to visit again and get to know better.

empty?

Did you send your parents a greeting?

Do you think they would like to hear from you?

Your roommate?

You could even brighten the day for someone you don't know. Have you noticed that guy who always seems to be alone? Why don't you send him a Valentine? You don't have to sign it. The mystery will intrigue him; the mere fact that he was thought about will thrill him.

The task is so easily accomplished, yet the rewards can be so great-not only for others, but also for you.

Go ahead. Make their dayll

Going to DMLC was quite an experience. ,We saw most classrooms and buildings, except the library which was being remodeled. The cafeteria food was good. We had the opportunity to see the musical "The King and I" which was a little long but was well done.

We went to the Student Union where we played ping-pong, pool and other ga;;'es. They have a lounge where you can watch cable television. In the lobby of the dorms they have a computer to use, and piano to practice (besides having many other pianos and organs on campus). I had a good time visiting DMLC.

purpose was for Christian fellowship and for exposure - exposure to DMLC campus life, with the encouragement to consider attending it and to become a teacher in the classrooms of the WELS.

DMLC at a Glance

I think DMLC is a fine school to go for teaching. On campus they have all the facilities you could ask for.

And they "ave many sports like girls' volleyball. The girls won the national championship for the second time in a row. They also have a tennis court and a basebail diamond. They have thinqsto do off campus, like swimming, or playing hockey.

by Jon Arendt You can see alot of things at DMLC, and on the way there. If you travel at night you can see all the pretty lights. There are a lot of big hills on both sides of the road.

You can see the Mississippi River. When you get to DMLC you can see Herman the German stand high on a tower across from the college. The dorms are nice and pretty clean. Their food is very good and filling. The Student Union is a place you can go to play games, like pool and pingpong. We saw the women's championship volleyball game, and DMLC won.

by Kristin Johnson The trip to DMLC was very exciting. I liked it when Mr. Loersch played the organ. It was fun when we went to the Student Union to play some games. The dorms were neal The play called "The King and I" was very funnyll think it was the best part of the trip. The campus was beautiful, and the scenery was great. We got to see some of the classrooms and in a greenhouse on the roof. The ride there was fun and the scenery was beautiful.

by Jenny Trent When I went to DMLC on a trip, I found out that college can be a lot of fun.

The boys' dormitory should be cleaned more often if it does get cleaned at all.

(No offense) At DMLC I never found a person unhappy. It always seemed like everyone was happy to be there.

That school would be the best place to' go to become a teacher. You can go to DMLC and later change your mind about becoming a teacher, and still have had a great education.

by Micah Leppa/s At a glance DMLC is more than just a college. It's lots of friondship with a Christian atmosphere. The people there are friendly and always say "hi" and that reflects nicely on their school. Usually there are a couple people reading in the lounge or typing homework assignments on a computer. They give you an idea of what the next teachers will be like in the years to come. If you want to be a teacher, here is the right place to go!

by Jamie Them One must experience more than one weekend to see all there is at Dr. Martin Luther in New Ulm, Minnesota. But from only one weekend, I have seen many things.

DMLC is a school which is completely centered on educating young men and women to be well-trained Christian teachers.

At DMLC, there are many fun things a student can do. In the Student Union the men and women may play pool or pinqpong, go to a snack bar, or watch T.V. There is also a gym.

Meals are served daily. Examples of some of the food they serve are chicken, fruit, eggs, sausage, and applesauce.

On a tour, we saw the large organ in the auditorium, which Mr. Loersch played for the eight 7th graders and a chaperone, Mrs. Leppala, who went on this ex.cursion, Later, we saw a Ijfe~size solid oak istatue of Martin Luther. DMLC has many pianos and organs for lessons. We saw those, too.

My impression of DM LC is that of a place where I might like to attend.

Lancers Take Second in Trojan Classic

by Sherman Unkefer Co-Sports Editor The Lancer men's basketball team travelled to Watertown. Wisconsin.

January 9th and 10th to participate in the Trojan Classic. The Lancer's first opponent was arch-rival Northwestern College. DMLC had not lost to Northwestern in two years and was trying to make it three in a row over the host Trojans. The Lancers came out strong. hitting their first three shots, but Northwestern answered with two hoops of their own to trail the Lancers 6-4. The game continued to be close, with the score 37-35 at halftime. The Lancers came out and continued to play well in the beginning of the second half, forging a seven point lead with twelve minutes remainingin the game. The Trojans never gave up and kept pecking away at the Lancer lead. Alter a DMLC turnover, Northwestern scored and took its first lead of the night, 61-59 with one-and-ahalf minutes remaining. The Lancers next possession resulted in a missed shot and a chance for the Trojans to seal the game.

Northwestern's Virgil Hanson was fouled

Intramurals

and went to the free throw line with 50 seconds left. He missed, and DMLC regained the ball. After the ball had been batted out of bounds by Northwestern, the Lancers set up an inbounds play. The ball was inbounded to Jeff Smith, who nailed a 3-point shot with 30 seconds remaining to give the Lancers a one point lead, 62-61. Northwestern decided to set up for the last shot with 10 seconds left, but an errant pass with four seconds left secured DMLC's third victory in a row over the Trojans. "This was the most exciting game I've ever seen!" said Mark Hirsch, who was only one of the Lancer faithful who witnessed the game. Most of the crowd felt the same way. . Saturday, DMLC faced Lawrence University for the championship and lost 72'-54. Fatigue from Friday night's exciting game and poor team shooting took their toll, as the Lancer record fell to 5-4. DMLC's Jeff Smith was named to the all-tournament team. Nathan Kieselhorst also enjoyed a fine tournament, with 15 points Friday night, and 11 points and 15 rebounds in Saturday's championship game.

Women's Team Showing Improvement

by Gene Sehinzel Staff Writer The Lady Lancer Varsity Basketball team has a 4-5 record as the season reaches its midway point. Coach Leopold says that turnovers and a lack of control are the main reasons for their losing record. The Lady Lancers have committed twentv-five turnovers a game. compared to twenty-one by opponents. Coach Leopold says that more patience is needed on the offensive end of the court.

She also quips that tile team must put two solid halves together to be more successful.

As the conference schedule swings into gear, Coach Leopold sees progression being made by this young team, which consists of only one senior and one junior, with only one returning starter.

Thus far. the Lady Lancers are 2-3 in conference play, but in their three losses they were within four to eight

points in the second half. Coach Leopold commented that freshmen players Karen Lorenz, Chris Hillmann, and Sara Henderson have all started and are getting good experience. Even though perimeter shooting has been the key, strong inside play is coming along. The Lady Lancers are outrebounding opponents, 38 to 36 a game.

Individual statistical leaders are Jackie Valleskey and Shelley Myers with 11 points a game. Karen Lorenz and Valleskey are both shooting 5096from the field. Ann Klatt leads the team with 83 rebounds, and Hillmann leads in assists with 27. Both Klatt and Hillmann have 25 steals to lead that category.

Coach Leopold believes that if the team can control the ball better, the Lady Lancers could win 60 to 7096 of their remaining games.

End with Flourish

by Michael Albrecht Staff Writer The crack of the net as the ball swishes through it. The screech of .bare legs sliding across the gym floor. These sounds are very familiar to anyone who has participated in intramurals for the past two months.

The woman's volleyball season came down to one last game. It was Cindy Lierman's team, Lierman's Leftovers, taking on Julie Russell and the Something Nothings. The game was very close

and tightly matched the whole way.

Lierman's Leftovers ended up winning the game and also taking the league championship.

The men's basketball league was won

by Auf der Flucht, led by Steve Jensen.

They were also the only team to go undefeated this year, finishing at 19-0.

The Young Ones finished second at 15-4 under Phil Rehberger. The championship game was played January 18, with Auf der Flucht winning 59-34.

Of Consonants and Vowels - The Singing Boys of Pennsylvania

by James Raddatz Staff Writer Here is a riddle for you: What has roughly fifty feet, original dress. overwhelming consonants, and the sound of a heavenly choir? If you answered The Singing Boys of Pennsylvania we are on the same wave-length (which is kind of scary!) You will have to understand that no article would do justice to these young entertainers..without having a little bit of

humor carefully weaved within its lines, for when the audience was not applauding it was usually chuckling at the idiosyncrasies of the individual members of the choir.

The twenty-four member ensemble of young boys between the ages of ten and fourteen periormed before a large audience on the DMLC Auditorium stage for n~arly two hours as part of the school year's lyceum series. The performance

included music and dance to songs from "The Sound of Music," westem folk songs. contemporary music. and religious carols as well as four encore song performances.

The choir, under the direction of the group'S founder, Dr. K. 8ernard Schade, is touring the Midwest this January before returning to Pennsylvania from where they will be going to Japan for a national

tour for the second year straight.

The clear and crisp enunciation of the over-forty songs performed will remain forever imprinted on our minds and ears, as well as the beautiful sounds they produced.

This was the last lyceum of the 19861987 series. We should thank Professor Mark Lenz for tlfe excellent lyceums we were fortunate enough to see this year.

THROUGH CHILDREN'S

More Student

EYES Teaching

Experiences

by Joy Panzer and Annmarie Krueger Staff Writers Have you ever been worried about what it would be like to live on your own?

To be lost? Worse yet, to be stuck on a desert island? The children in grades 4 to 8 from Abiding Word in Houston, Texas don't seem to be worried at all, In this months issue of the Messenger we asked them what they would do if they were trapped on a desert island and these are some of the responses we received.

If I were stranded I would first make some shelter to sleep under and in case it rains or storms. Then I would go fishing for some supper. When I catch my fish, I'll hang it up in a tree to dry a linle and then go pick berries and fruit and coconuts.

When I get back my fish should be dried a little bit and ready to cook. Next I'll build a fire to cook my fish over. When the fish is done I'll crack a coconut open so I can drink the juice with my fish.

Kristen E. Grade 5 I would first find out what to make a house of. Weill! there are any logs I could make a log cabin. For something to eat I would catch wild animals like deer or even a special kind of snake it might sound sick but you've got to stay alive.

Robbie Grade 4 If I were stranded on a desert island, I'd hope to have a knife. If I had one I'd carve small traps, because I would need some

kind of meat. I'd make a temporary shelter, then I'd carve a bow or a crossbow. After that, I'd plant a garden close by an area I would choose for a permanent shelter. After I finished everything, I would wait and pray somebody found me.

A. J. Jordan Grade 6 If I was stranded on a desert island I would try to find water and food. I would also try to stay cool. Travel at night so it would be easier and I would build a shed for shade using bamboo and palm leaves.

I would have a fire to keep me warm and safe from animals and use it to signal for help. Wash close in the water. For food I would eat fruit that the animals eat, and I would eat fish too. If in danger I would hide, but if necessary I would kill the animal. If help didn't arrive soon I would

After being stranded on a desert island

f",~ a plane crash, I decided to relocate. wh~re I was there were a few scrudy trees. First I collected the gas from the plane, a book of matches. and a piece of paper and a pencil. Then I would waik until I found a waterfall with a loi' of healthy trees around it. Then I would make.a hatchet out of vines, rocks, and a limb of a palm tree. Then I would dig a hole in the waterfall 1O' by 5'. This would be a cool place and bugs couldn't get in.

Then I would catch a couple of fish, descale them with a knife, dig a hole, start a fire, and make a place to set the fish.

Now I would get some water to put out the fire. Then I would write a letter and put it in a bottle and hope someone would get it and save me.

Pat Zelontz Grade 6

by Cathy Starke Staff Writer Faith Wurst, who taught fifth and sixth grade, was pitching for kickball one recess, when a student kicked the ball right over her head. In an effort to catch the ball, a fifth grade boy knocked Miss Wurst flat on the ground. There she was, lying there in a dress, with the whole class looking on.

Giving her Children the opportunity to put things together for themselves, Heidi Keibel asked, after reading from Little Visits With God," "What do you think a peacemaker is?" The answer she got was quite plausible. though not what she expected. "A piecemaker is someone who makes puzzles:' Well ...

Dale Krueger's bald spot was admired.

When Lynn Radloff was teaching 1st g,.d.-~.th •• h.

Apr" Grade 5 I had a shipwreck, I didn't know where I was, except that I was on a desert island.

How will I survive, I asked myself? I saw some coconuts far up in a tree. So, I climbed up one tree, picked the coconuts and let them drop to the ground. I got some water from the nearby ocean and drank it and while I was drinking it I saw a fish. I grabbed it. And that is what I ate that night; coconuts, fish and drank water. Every day was the same menu. I built a shelter and that was where I slept.

Stacy Hildebrandt Grade 4

I would try and find a place

tQ-

protect

myself from the weather. I could make myself a bed of palm branches. I would try to catch fish with a wooden spear and climb a coconut tree to gather a bunch of coconuts for their meat and for their milk.

To clean the fish I could use a small piece of wood. I would make a fire by rubbing two sticks together, over this fire I would cook my fish. The next thing I would do is spell the word help on the beach with large stones and wood. The very last thing I would do is build a fire and use seaweed to make black smoke to signal an airplane overhead.

Teresa Grade 8 First thing I would build shelter with bamboo. I would build my shelter away from the trees. I might even send smoke signals in to the air so if a plane flew over me. I would build a fire with wood and dry leaves to keep me warm at night. Then I would find some food. I might catch and cook a fish over a fire or I might eat seaweed. I would make a bed of leaves. I would try to find some fresh water. I might even eat some of the fruits. I would use animal skin for a blanket at night or for clothes. Or I might watch for a ship in the ocean.

Daffy Definition I Just Don't Believe It

This month CUESTA was the word used rn Daffy Definition. CUESTA means a hill or ridge with one face steep and the opposite sloping.

These are the responses received from the students:

by James Raddatz Staff Writer I read an advertisement several months ago that stated that. if my memory serves me correctly, almost eighty per cent of all Americans taste their potato product (fries, baked, escalloped ... ) before they taste their main course meat. What a dumb statistic, but it can be used to prove

Colleen Steffen what you say when the crust on your pie is too thin and the filling drips through Stephen Berg the piece left over from a broken

a point-Americans are bombarded by too many questionnaires about ridiculous information.

To prove my point I have recently watched the student body eat meals at noon and in the evening and have come to a fantastic conclusion - there are only thirty Americans attending college at DMLC. Less than ten percent of the student body on any given night sample the potato before the meat. That means that there are roughly four hundred unAmerican Americans here at DMLC. The logic I used to come to that conclusion is no more "illogical" than that used by such greats as Gallup, Time, and Newsweek, to name only a couple prominent pollsters. It just doesn't make any sense to me to waste money trying to find out in what order you eat your food when there are such important issues to solve. such as, "Does Ronald Reagantwirl or slurp his spaghetti?" "Does anybody really like Joan Rivers' dirty jokes?" "Who arethose --"".'PeotII~tt"""""tl~\:jt~

Moments of Life on Campus)

Congratulations to Pete Lemke, Andy Plocher, Craig Sonntag, and Jeremy Thiesfeldt. who were the first four out of what seemed like hundreds of correct responses to last month's mystery prof.

They correctly guessed Professor Wulff.

This month's mystery prof is from Minnesota in which he attended a public high school. He attended venous colleges before teaching in Milwaukee and Newburg, WI. Now he teaches juniors and seniors at DMLC. One interesting fact is he has a twin sister. His favorite subject is psychology and likes student friendliness best about DMLC. One of his many hobbies is family historv, He likes to study genealogies and family records and couect their mementos.

Please submit all guesses to Box 274 for a free gift certificate to the Round Table courtesy of The Messenger. Good Luck!

Dr. Martin Luther College, New Ulm, Minnesota

Buxtehude Commemorated

The 1987 Snow Carnival Queen, Lori Kia.elhorst and her ascort, Mark

Eisenmann.

by Carrie Bullard Staff Writer On February 22, 1987, Dr. Martin Luther College held its choral vesper service in the chapel-auditorium. However, it was not a true choral vesper service.

The service was intitled "Abendmusik" and commemorated the 350th birthday of Dietrich Buxtehude, a Lutheran composer, famed organist, and the heritage of the DMLC music division.

This year's director was ProfessorJohn Nolte, who explained that the program was patterned after the Abendmusik (evening music) concerts begun in Germanyin the 1640's which continued into the nineteenth century. The choral

(performed by the chapel, treble and college choirs) and organ works were all compositions

by Dietrich Buxtehude.

These musical works were interspersed with seven selections of narrations on his life read by four senior men.

Although the service did not consist of what one might consider"normal" lenten music. the purpose was the same: to prepare our hearts for the lenten season, turning our thoughts toward the cross of Christ. A thank you to all the directors, organists and accompanists. instrumentalists, and narrators who helped to make this opportunity of worship poseibte for the entire DMLCi.m'~v·end also all others in attendance.

No-Snow Carnival

by Pete Schaewe Staff Writer Lack of snow did not stop DMLC's Snow Carnival 1987. The theme for this year was "Disney's WiMer Wonderland," and festivities took place throughout the week of February 1-7.

Carnival kicked off on Sunday evening with the traditional Senior-Faculty Basketball Game. All through this close match the many fans in attendance helped cheer the faculty (or was It the seniors?) on to victory. At half-time, the seven Snow Carnival queen candidates, Lorna Fenske, Lori Roekle, Shelly Brickham, Carrie Schmeling, Lori Kieselhorst, Becky Schultz, and Lynn Stobb, announced via skit that Dean Zarling was financing a vacation for them. They decided to go to Disneyworld, which is where they were found on Thursday evening - Competition Night, hosted by Tutor Petermann. This evening's skit introduced the candidates' escorts, Dan Johnson, Gene Martens, Jim Braun, Dave Biedenbender, Mark Eisenmann, Steven Jensen, and Tim Schubkegel, as the Seven Dwarves in search of a new Snow White (the former one having taken a new position on Days of Our Lives). Each dwarf found one of the seven girls (ding!)

• and not being able to decide who to choose, begged the assistance of the audience. the winner to be announced the following evening. Also included in the competition were baby pictures olthe candidates and silly anecdotes from moms, the ever popular Professor Situations. in which each candidate and a professor imagine what would be said in unusual situations. and a serious question. Following these activities, the audience was asked to fill out a ballot to elect the Snow Carnival Queen.

On Friday night, since Connie Kroll and Steve Towne, the 1986 Snow Carnival Queen and escort, were both student teaching, the emcees for the evening were Jodi Kammholz and Alan Uher, who had been in the running for the 1986 position. After a variety of musical numbers and some fun by AI and Jodi, the moment all had waited for arrived. Boxes were opened, and Lori Kieselhorst found a ribbon on her rose - 1987 Snow Carnival Queen.

The festivities didn't end there. Though there was no snow to make sculptures, Ithere was almost enough ice for "Bust Heads" to take the broom ball championship on Saturday morning and bring Snow Carnival 1987 to a close.

Show Christian Love

o my child,

by LuAnn Vatthauer Co-Editor It is getting to be that time of year again. School work is beginning to catch up with the students. The days go by faster and faster as May approaches. As homework builds up, later hours are kept and less sleep is received. People easily lose their tempers when they are tired. It does not take much to make a friend explode at another friend.

Roommates begin to aggrevate one another. The atmosphere can be one of hostility.

At this time, consideration is a key word. Friends need to understand when friends are too busy to spend time together. Also, if a person notices a friend has much to do, he should not present tempting, fun ideas that get the student away from his studies.

Encourage friends when they are frustrated. Thinking and observing before speaking is another good idea. Overall, try to be unselfish and think of the other person first

It is only my dreams

I have seen you Running free, happy, wild, Among meadows and flowers Of my warm summer dreams The sun, shining brightly On strawberry-blonde hair, Adding to the sparkle Of so blue an eye.

Creating a sight - more beautiful Than could ever be reality Of which now is yet reflected When I close my eyes.

Reminiscing my sweet dreams.

But now these eyes gaze Into reality, eyes yet so blue, Yet blinded to the sunlight, The meadows, grasses, a rosel My ears hear a music Better far than birds can sing It is your laughter I hear.

~

Of believing the way I thought Now and then again One could only find a smile.

YOUR smile proves my ignorance Your legs do not carry you Through any meadows or grass Your eyes cannot behold The beauty of a rose.

0, my child, what a lesson you teach!

To be content, to be happy With what IS given you: A gentle breeze. the bird's song Creates your smile.

A soft touch, a warm hug, Feeling loved, is all you need For happiness.

You have not a worry, not a care, o that I, my child, Might be as content as thou!

0, ymy child, are you happy? es. , beli ...

'l don't even know where to actually start, last night wasn't the greatest either, not when you consider that I didn't get to bed until after 2:00 and was up by 6:00 to finish studying for the forty tests that I flunked today. I don't know why it always happens that all my tests are on one day. How can the profs expect me to study for all of them as much as I could? OK. I'll admit I could have studied earlier than last night, but you know how difficult it is to get me motivated to do work early. Major etten; Those tests were impossible, too. I can't believe that we'd actually be tested on that stuff. I just can't study for something that I may use once a year when I'm teaching. What's the use?Why don't they just test us on the real information and let us get some sleep? But the tests weren't the worst of it either. I was rather harsh with my friends today. I guess I was taking my anger out on them. Alii need to happen today is to lose one of the few friends that I have. You can probably see that everything that I touched today failed. I must be some loser. Oops. I better be going. My roommate just walked in.

Sure I didn't have a great day, but it wasn't that bad. I guess that I overlooked the two times that I worshipped you in chapel and sang those beautiful hymns to you. I guess that I overlooked everything that you have done for me. I guess I'm a real sinner feeling sorry for myself. You'd think that it was I who was nailed to the cross on Calvary. Forgive me sins, Lord. For they are manyl I guess that I don't realize just how easy it is to stray from you in times of weakness. Thanks for being there to lead me back, oh Shepherd of my soul. Thanks again.

It has been four years that I've been hearing myself and my friends saying these very same thoughts. Perhaps the time has been less for you underclassmen, but there is a danger in this "bad

attitude" - it is contagious. Let us not" forget the fellowship that we have shared, the love that we have given and received, and the strength we have gained through these seemingly meaningless tasks and rejoice in the fact that Christ has died to save us from ourselves. Thanks again, Lord.

Out on Change -

"I Just Don't Believe It (Part II)"

A DMLC Survey

by James Raddatz

by James Raddatz

Staff Writer

Staff Writer It seems only natural that after last month's article in which I spoke-out against polls and surveys I would then be asked by the Messenger editors to conduct a poll asking students to respond to recent changes here at DMLC. ISEE article elsewhere in this issue.) I would like to take just a moment to reflect upon

Throughout our current school year we have witnessed several changes at DMLC. Perhaps the most visible of these changes has been the addition onto the library; other noticeable changes include the soft- serve ice cream machines. the scrambled-egg breakfast served once per week. the improved salad bar, the upcoming installation of individual phone hook-ups, music in the cafeteria, and the addition of draft root beer in the soda dispensers of the cafeteria.

In attempting to gain a perspective on how the students view these changes a survey was conducted of the student body as to the relative importance of the above mentioned policy changes at DMLC. Out of the near ten percent of the student body answered, care was taken to achieve the opinions of members of each class and also from each gender.

An overwhelming majority of students agreed that the most important change was definitely the library addition. Most students believe that the complex will be a definite asset to the school and can't wait until it opens up. In descending order the results of the survey revealed this information: 1.

It is noteworthy to point out that there was really no clear differencein results if they were divided according to gender.

one of these changes - the scrambledegg breakfast served once per week in our cafeteria.

As I sat in the "checkers" oHice writing this month's articles an intriguing thought came to me - DMLC policy changes can have far-reaching eHects on "the real world." Take the implementation of the egg/breakfast policy as an example. Since OMLCstarted this widely popular program, many great things have happened. Anytime a product is in demand, such as eggs, the market value of that product is likely to rise due to the economic system in which we live [the law of supply and demand). What this means is that at this moment somewhere in rural Minnesota there is one happy chicken rancher who has found a profitable purchase market for his hens'

bring them here to DMLC. Not only have we saved a struggling chicken farmer, but we have helped the trucking business out of a financial crunch as well. It is plainly visible that the implementation of one little policy at DMLC can have far reaching .effects on "the real world," But life isn't only "a receptacle brimming with small red fruit" [a bowl full of cherries). there are "nadirs as well as zeniths" in our lives. It is a known fact that increased traffic, a direct result of increased shipping, has a detrimental effect on road conditions, Deteriorating roads will have to be repaired by the state government - and we all know that that can only be accomplished through increased taxation. An increase in the demand for eggs and the resulting increase in traffic over Minnesota roads will result in increased taxation to cover the damaged roads. Who will be taxed, I ask you? YOU WI LL. It is complet.ely within reason that those extra tax dollars for highway maintenance will be collected as part of an increased gasoline tax. You may soon be paying an extra

nickel every time that you fill your car with gas - all because our cafeteria serves scrambled eggs once a week for breakfast. Our future is looking rather grim.

But that isn't the worst of it. This increased taxation will take away some of the daily spending money of all people involved in Minnesota economics.

Whenever there is less money to spend there is an increase in shoplifting. violent crimes, and suicides. These are rather negative effects and dangerous to all Minnesotans.

It would also be conceivable to imagine that in our own circles there would be harmful effects. We could witness a further decline in enrollment due to students being unable to pay tuition. car insurance. or even purchase an automobile - all because they don't have enough money due to the increased taxation which was implemented to cover the damage incurred to Minnesota highways on account of the increased demand for eggs on the OMLC campus.

ITry to say that sentence in one breath!) If this were the case. then where would the WELS stand with declining enrollment and less candidates for the public ministry?

Now I ask you, is one extra meal of eggs per week really worth all of this trouble? I'm not sure, I just don't know what to believe anymore!

produce. If the need for that product, eggs, continues at the current demand level, it would be imaginable (at least by me) that that chicken rancher could increase his income immensely, enabling him to purchase better and more eHicient laying hens. We may have just saved that chicken farmerfrom financial bankruptcy.

Isn't this great?

But the goodness doesn't stop therethink of all of the extra manpower necessary to bring these eggs to market, to process the eggs, and to eventually

God Given Abilities Shown

by Amy Bergman Staff Writer This past month Dr. Martin Luther College presented Anne Gabb, Sandra Svehla, and DaleWitte in recitals of organ music. Sandy and Anne played the afternoon of February 1, and Dale played on February 15, 1987.

Anne Gabb played first with Johann Pachelbel's "Praeludium in 0 minor." She then played "Lord keep Us Steadfast in Thy Word," "A Babe is Born in Bethlehem," "All Praise to Thee Eternal God," and "Prelude Fugue and Ciacona in C Major" by Dietrich Buxtehude, Anne has taken twelve yea,,! of piano, three of organ, and has spent the past year in preparation for this recital. She felt very prepared, was not nervous, and was happy with how it went. Anne considered it an honor to play and said, "My goal in life is to be a good organist."

Sandy Svehla's pieces were Johann Sebastian Bach's "Kyrie God Father in Heaven Above," "Christ Comfort of the World," "Kyrie God the Holy Ghost," "All Glory Be to God on High," and "Toccata and Fugue in 0 minor." She had been working on these pieces since last April.

The day before the recital Anne and Sandy had a mock recital. All went well for both until Sandy's last song.. The organ stops did not work, it took three minutes to reset, and so she became nervous and stayed that way until the recital the next day. However, all went very well and Sandy was glad to have had the mock recital. The many professors and students who went, meant very much to Sandy. She commented. "It was fun, I was pleased with how it went ... it was an exciting and special day for me."

Out of tradition, the treble choir sang for Anne and Sandy's recital. The three

pieces were "0 Hear Me Lord" by Heinrich Schuetz, "Let All the Nations Praise the Lord" by Volkmar Leisring, and "Wir eilen zu dir" by Johann Sebastian Bach. Both Anne and Sandy are members of the Treble choir and sang With the rest.

Singing with the choir made both the girls feel relaxed, and they appreciated having the choir as part of the recital.

Dale Witte's recital was the afternoon of the 15th of Februarv, He played "Magnificat on the Ninth Tone" by Samuel Scheidt, "Prelude and Fugue in F Sharp Minor" by Dietrich Buxtehude, and "Savior of the Nations Come," "Hail the Day So Rich in Cheer," "To God the Anthem Raising," and "Prelude and Fugue in C Major" by Johann Sebastian Bach. Dale has practiced for this recital since the beginning of the year. He has had six and a half years of piano and three years of organ. Dale plans on giving

another recital his senior year. and after graduation, attending Concordia College in River Forest, Illinois. Dale's recital went very well and he was pleased with it, although he said he was a little nervous.

His first piece was a canticle with Professor Hermanson singing. Dale was somewhat uneasy about this piece because Professor Hermanson was not Quite over a bad cold. The piece turned out well, and after singing with the College choir, Dale felt more at ease.

While commenting on his playing, Dale said, "I had angels on my fingers."

Professor Bruce Backer is the instructor of Anne. Sandy. and Dale.

While speaking of the three recitals, he said, "Each performance had compositions with distinctive challenges. The students [Anne, Sandy and Dale) played extraordinarily well!"

Numerous Handbell Concerts Performed

by Terry Gr.' St.ff Writer What has sixty-one bells, twelve to thirteen people, and loads of fun making beautiful music? If you guessed a German Polka band you're wrong, but if you guessed DMLC's handbell choir, you're rightl The handbell choir, which was first organized in 1979, is a group of thirty-five members (ringers), who under the direction of Professor Wayne Wagner, produce that beautiful sound that we have come to know as the handbell sound, The handbells that are used at DMLC have mostly been donated with the most recent donation being a gift of thirty-four bells which was given by a couple celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary from Neenah, Wisconsin.

This brings the total of handbells at DMLC to 86, of which 25-86 are normally used for anyone handbell arrangement.

How active is the handbell choir? I asked that question to Professor Wagner and he said that by the time this present school year is completed, the handbell choir will have performed in five church services, DMLC's Christmas Concert, at Bethany Lutheran College in Mankato, the Wisconsin Synod Handbell Festival, numerous chapel services, and finally the May night concert.

Upon further questioning it was learned that the Wisconsin Synod Handbell Festival will be held at St. Croix Lutheran High School in West St. Paul; Minnesota, on the weekend of March 2829, 1987. A group of 29 students will represent DMLC which will culminate in a mass "ringing" of handbells in a concert at 2:00 p.m. on March 29th. Some 220230 (approximately) ringers will be divided into three groups. These groups are divided by the number of bells in the choir and difficulty of music your choir can perform. So you can see that the handbell choir is quite active. But all in all it seems that the handbell choir members keep coming back because playing handbells is fun and the members and the people who listen to the handbell music enjoy the sound. No wonder it is "the fastest growing musical medium in church worship."

Lady Lancers Nearing Finish Pastors vs.

Teachers

by Patty Hennig News Editor The "soon-to-be pastors" from the Seminary in Mequon prevailed in a hardfought battle against the future teachers from OMLC.The close game ended with a score of 76- 75.

Coach Buck went into the game knowing he would play everyone. He felt it was a fun game. Many of the players gaine\! experience. Many worked with teammates they had never played with before in a game situation. There were good spots and bad spots. AI Mindock also commented that it was fun and that everyone got to play.

DMLC shot 44% in the first half and 41 % in the second half. Eric Paulsen led the team in points with 14. Kurt Steffen had 10. Tim Satorius led his team with 28 points and Duane Rodewald had 17.

The steals and turnovers made the game exciting from beginning to end. Jeff Schoenherr and Jeff Smith each had 4 steals out of a total of 15 by DMLC,while

by Michael Albrecht Staff Writer The Lady Lancers basketball season is once again drawing to a close. They have played very good basketball this year, with their best games being against Northwestern Roseville, Concordia St. Paul. and North Central.

The women this year have been playing very well together. They have been playing like a team and are always looking for the open person. This shows up in the statistics. So far this season, the Lady Lancers have 72 more assists than their opponents.

Coach Leopold thinks that this is one of the keys to the team's success. She says that when the scoring is as balanced as it has been, the responsibility to score doesn't lie on just one or two people.

There have been very few games this year where the scoring leader of one game leads the scoring in the following game.

The fact that three people have over 170 points this year is another tribute to the balanced scoring. Shelly Meyers leads

the team with over 200 points.

The team has also been bolstered by excellent playoff the bench. Coach Leopold says that this is one of the most important things for a team to have. She says that it's nice to know that when you bring in substitutes the quality of play doesn't diminish.

The Lady Lancers are a relatively young team and somewhat short on experience, but that hasn't hurt them this year. Jackie Vallesky, a sophomore, has been instrumental towards the team's success this year, as has Ann Klatt. Another player who has contributed a great deal to the team is Karen Lorenz, a freshman. Coach Leopold thinks that Karen is probably the team's most-improved player. She says that Karen is much more aggressive now on the offensive boards, and that she can really make things happen when she plays.

Hopefully, the Lady Lancers will continue to do the things that have gotten them this far as they begin their District Tournament.

the Seminary had 9.

No one was in serious foul trouble by the end of the game with DMLC having a total of 24 and Semending with only 21.

DMLC shot a 63% in free throws while Sem surpassed us with 86%.

This annual game is enjoyed by many every year. There were alumni here to watch again this year. Congratulations to both teams for a well-fought game which was exciting for everyone to watch.

A Tough Club to Join

by Sarah J. Schultz Staff Writer This month's club of the month is actually a two-in-one sort of club. Of course, all of you readers know it's W.A.C. and L-club.

Starting with the ladies first, there is the Women's Athletic Club, known as the W.A.C. W.A.C. is made up of any and all women who have participated in intercollegiate sports, including cheerleading. These ladies run the ticket and concession stands for all of the women's

games. They get the money for these activities, as well as the funds for the purchasing of exercise equipment, from the women's church volleyball tournament in March. The officers are Shelly

Meyers, president; Shelley Steinberg, vice president; Kelly Gillespie, sec./ treasurer; and Miss Leopold adviser.

The L-club IS the male counterpart of the W.A.C. Its members are also members of intercollegiate teams, specifically the lettermen of the varsity teams. These men, too, run the ticket and concession stands, this time for men's events. One difference is that, according to the club constitution, the members are to be assistants to the athletic director.

Like W.A.C., the L-club will be running a men's church volleyball tournament later in the year. L-club's officers are Randy Cox, president; Nate Kieselhorst, vice president, Dave Biedenbender, sec.! treas.; and Prof. Dallmann, adviser,

Its Winnie the Pooh

Excitement Begins Again

by Susan Warner Staff Writer Welcome to the world of Children's

by Tim Kuehl Staff Writer The third quarter has begun and ala with it a new session of intramurals. This quarter the men are playing volleyball and the women are playing basketball. The lealon is already well underway, and the battle for the top spot is increasing.

In men's volleyball, Dave Biedenbender's team il "fly"-ing to the top. At this time his team, The Floyd Lakers, are in first place with a 7-0 record. They are the only team that is undefeated yet.

Close behind them are The Over the Hill Gang, with a 7-1 record. I got to play in some games when I substituted for someone, and I found out how tough many of the games are played. The men put on a great show, and it is very exciting even just to watch.

In the women's basketball intramurals, things are going about the same-tough.

The race for the top is very close. Heidi Shuster's team, The Drew Crew, is on top with a 6-1 record they are followed by the Bean Sprouts, and the Something Nothings, both with 5-1 records. I cannot say I had the oppo~~.n~!y t~ play _in.~~~ <?~ these games, but I witnessed a few of them. The teamwork is outstanding, and the games are just as exciting as the men's volleyball games.

As the battle for the top winds down these last few weeks. you might want to go over to see some of the games. Cheer on your favorite team or all of the teams.

team, Coach Buck believes that the players need to work over the off-season to improve. He believes the team should improve next year, even though he had high expectations for this season. He says the team needs to playas a unit, something which has been inconsistent in the second half of the year. If all the players return, Coach Buck believes they should hold their own. The players should know the system and playas that important unit.

Leaders in scoring are Mark Eisenmann with 18.4 points per game (third in conference), and Jeff Smith with 17.0 points per game. Jeff is also third in the league in assists with 5.3 per game. Mark is the team leader in rebounds with nearly six per game.

Theatre, where fantasy reigns and reality is left behind. This year's production is based on a story about Winnie the Pooh, that loveable bear, and all his friends from the Hundred Acre Woods. On April 29 and 30, and May I, the Children's Theatre will put on a show for children of all ages - and that includes students and faculty.

Before this production is ready for public viewing, it requires a certain number of hard working people to participate not only in the acting but also in the directing and producing.

This year there are quite a few fresh faces both in the cast and in the directing and producing of the play. Freshman make up almost half of the cast and for several others, the stage is new to them as well. Introducing the cast for Winnie the Pooh we have Judy Anderson as Winnie the Pooh himself and Kurt

though he has had much experience on the performing side of the stage.

The directors are in charge overall of the production. They had a large part in tryouts and in choosing the cast members. Elisabeth pointed out, however, that she and Kurt are really more like coaches when it comes to practice time.

The cast brings in their own ideas and interpretation and then the directors guide them in the acting out of the parts.

They want it to be a group production rather than one dictated by one or two people's ideas. Elisabeth and Kurt work together on an equal basis. "We work really well, I think, together," says Elisabeth, "We don't always agree," says Kurt, but differences' between themselves and with the cast are worked out so everyone is able to contribute to the production.

The directors by themselves could not handle all the work that is involved in producing a play. That is where the producers and coordinators come in. Karl Bauer is the set producer and is in charge of building all the sets. Becky John is the prop producer while Penny Klatt takes care of the costumes. Sarah Knobloch, the coordinator for the play, is in charge of writing to all the schools and seeing how many will be attending the production. As co-coordinator, Jenny Eggert will take care of the programs and posters advertising the play.

Everyone seems to be having fun working on Winnie the Pooh. Since it;s a fantasy story for children

there \s room Jor

the imagination to run free. Although it requires Quite a bit of work and dedication to produce a play, it also provides an opportunity to get to know people and learn to work together. I think all of us are once again looking forward to this spring when we can all become children for the day and have fun watching Winnie the Pooh and all his friends as they welcome Kanga and little Roo into the forest.

Mystery Prof Congratulations to last month's winners, Jim Braun, Tami Engel, Mike Koester and Cathy Starke, for correctly guessing Prof. Barnes. This month's Professor says that he has had just about every student on campus in his classroom at one time or another. He was brought up in Medford, Wisconsin. He went to school here at DMLC for eight years and also to Norfolk Junior College and the University of Minnesota. Before coming back 10 DMLC to teach. he taught in a Nebraska grade school. His pastimes include going to plays, listening to classical music almost all the time. making model ships and he also collects Catechisms. Remember, you can't win a free gift certificate to the Round Table if you don't give it a try! The first four correct guesses to Box 314 will win. Good Luck!!!

Zoltan Remembered

Out of The Mouth of Babes.

And the Verdict Is

by Phil Zahn

Guest Writer During the week of February 16-21 , the members of SOUP commemorated the absence of Zoltan John Pethes from this campus. Zoli attended DMLC last year, but chose to complete his college y~ars at WLC. To start off the week, a flag raising ceremony was held at Waldheim 47 at 7:45 a.m., complete with reveille and gaudy formality. Three spectators were present for the Monday morning event.

Tuesday began with a slow-motion replay of the previous day's flag raising ceremony. The Treasure Haus Dress-up event was offered for campus family members to show off their favorite attire from that establishment. There was a tie between fourteen professors, but when it was discovered that they had not officially registered, prizes were awarded to the following students: Jeff Fairbairn, Katie Heiderich, Nancy Heiderich. Bethel Kuckhahn, Wendy Lehne, Pete Markgraf, and Karen Wordell. Tuesday night Soup sponsored a 25% off sale on ice cream cones in the Round Table.

Wednesday, as on every day of the week, began with the 7:45 a.m. flag

by Patty Hennig News Editor Yonda Degner - St. John; Goodhue, MN I taught grades one and two. The second week of teaching I had to teach 56 Catechism. Well. they didn't know me all that well yet so I had to make a good impression. When I got to the room the students were making a fuss because the clock was a half hour off. So I took charge and proceeded to fix the clock. As I was doing so, the clock started to fall from the wall. In my efforts to save the clock from being destroyed from the fall I. in a dignified manner, took a nose dive to the floor.f l bruised my knee.) I looked around to find the clock. After looking on the floor, I looked up and saw the clock dangling from a cord plugged into the wall. I was embarassed, the students were amused. After a good laugh and someone else had put the clock back, I proceeded to teach the 3 offices of Christ.

Deborah Goldman - Bloomington; Bloomington, MN As I was going through the afternoon devotion, we were talking about what

around the school. Strangely, we couldn't find the injured party. When we went back to the classroom, I found not a soul was therel I went back to where they line up, but still no sign of the kids. I lost all of the 5th and 6th graders! I panicked, worried what my teacher would say when she saw what I had done. After a few laps around the school, I finally found my students. They were all hiding in a store room. I was a bit upset at first, but then they told me it was tradition to pull pranks on the student teacher's last day. What could I say when I found out the Principal and 5th and 6th grade teacher were in on the joke, too!llt did give me quite a scare, though, but it added to all the fun memories of student teaching.

Kelly O'Connell - St. John; Red Wing, MN One day the children

noticed

that

"Miss O'Connell's" slip had been showing all day. I had pulled it up as often as I could during the day. One littie second-grader came up to me and said, "Miss O'Connell, your slip is showing again." I said that it always happened to me, and Tessa, the little second-grader, said. "Yeah, my mom's short and pudgy too, and it always happens to' hen" Out of the mouths of babes!

sponsored events were held.

On Thursday. bleachers were added to the front yard of Waldheim 47 to accomodate the crowds. It was also Wear Orange Day. in memory of The Mad Carrot Guy himself. The first place winner, Joy Loescher, received one-hundred 198687 'DMLC Catalogs. The two secondplace winners, Katie Heiderich and Wendy Lehne, received fifty of the same.

Third-place winners received twantv- five catalogs, and were Kelly Hill and Laura Schwartz. Conqratulatfons!l Rounding off the day, SOUP offered free official Zoli Carrots. At the time of this writing, several were still remaining, so stop by for your free stick!

Friday morning a Happy Zoli Day was wished to the DMLC campus from the announcers of KXLP-93 FM (of New Ulm), who were broadcasting live from the deli of Hy-Yee. Finally, the week's events culminated in an Open House Friday night. An Open House Guest Register was available at the door, and orange decorations splattered the decor as refreshments were served.

These are just the facts. Zoli Appreciation Week was more than this.

For those who enioved the week, the SOUP family thanks you for understanding what it's all about.

proceeded to ask. "What hasn't God made on us?" One little boy raised his hand and very innocently answered, "Horns!" At that time it took all my power not to laugh, because my supervisor was in the back of the room in hysterics. Talk about a cliche - "Out of the mouths of babes."

John Meyer - St. .Jot.n, Red Wi"g, MN As part of my unit on the circulatory system, I bought a bloodtyping kit to find everyones blood type. On the day of the bloodtype experiment, I took my individually packaged lansets and pricked everyones finger to extract blood.

Just as I pricked the last persons finger, a 6th grade girl turned white and fainted.

As my supervisor took her across the hall to another room, I heard a loud boom. An eighth grade boy had fainted as he walked across the room. Suddenly everyone started feeling dizzy and a few began to cry. Three girls were out recuperating for the rest of the morning, From then on, whenever I needed discipline I just held up a lanset and everyone was quiet.

Karen WordellMN

St. John; Redwood Falls,

While student teaching in Redwood Falls, MN, Steve Biedenbender and I often talked after school. As our students waited for their bus, they noticed this.

When Steve told his students they were going to sing to me on my birthday, he later overheard some talking among themselves, wondering if Mr. Biedenbender and Miss Wordell were going out.

One of his students told the others, "No, they're cousins. they can't be," Steve and I laughed about it figuring it was typical 6th and 8th graders. However a week or so later. one of my 1st graders asked me, "Miss Wordell, are you and Mr. Biedenbender close?" I was surprised at first, but soon realized he meant "friends." I said, "Yes, we are friends." He said, "I can tell because you talk to him after school." To set the record straight: Steve and I are friends. We are not going out, and we are not cousins. His cousin and my uncle are married to each other.

Tamara Zabel - Bethany; Hustisford, WI

Michelle Moungey - Mt. Olive; Delano, MN The last day of student teaching was Quite an experience for me. I called in my 5th and 6th grades from recess. As they were coming in and lining up, one of the girls that stayed in called me from the classroom. She said one of the girls hurt her ankle and was in the locker room, so she led me on a wild goose chase all

One day we were eating lunch and Laura walked over to my desk. she was eating a candy bar. She came up to me and said, "Miss Zabel, do you know what my mom says when I eat too many candy bars?" "What does she say?" I replied.

"Mom says, 'quit eating all that @#/full of sugar!'" Needless to say, I was taken by surprise because Laura was the second quietest first grader I had!

by Cathy Starke Staff Writer The evidence is in. The final arguments have been made, and the jury has been retired. Julie Fletcher was found with her hand on the knife that was in her rich uncle's dead body. It happened on the night before he was planning to disinherit her. She says she didn't do it. What is your vote? The angry man insists Julie's guilt is obvious. The Middle-aged Man and the Foreman go along with him. The Brunette foretells disaster. The Shy Girl wants no part in what's going on. The Actress is certain of Julie's innocence, and forms a desperate plan to save her.

The Old Ladies think she and Julie are both hussies, but the Young Man is willing to listen. Even the Society Woman stoops to involve herself, and the Man with Glasses stops falling asleep.

Can you remember back to your grade school days when you wished that you could be the teacher for just a day? Then you could be the one to make all the decisions and you wouldn't have any homework to 'do. Well in this months issue of the Messenger if the children in grades 5 through B at St. Luke's Lutheran, Oakfield, Wisconsin were given the chance to be a teacher for one day, they would run their classes like this.

If I could be teacher for a day I would give them longer recesses. We would have big parties on Friday. For our field trip we would go to Florida. They would have short school assignments.

Grace Panzer Grade 8 If I were a teacher for a day, I would allow them to do most anything they would want to for half the day. The last part of the day I would let them go to any of their friend's houses until the school bus came to take them home.

Tracey Pahnke Grade 8 If I was teacherlor one day I would take the whole class on a field trip to Great America in Illinois. Next I would take them to the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago so we might learn something at least.

Kristin Bilitz Grade 8

If I was a teacher for a day, I would take them on a field trip to the Brewer's game and then we will go to McDonald's to eat.

And that is a day.

Rochelle Boelk Grade 5

If I was teacher for a day I would have longer recesses. I would have snacks and candy most of all, I would have more things to do with God. Tim Panzer Grade 6

If I was teacher for one day I would give the class some work and when they were done I would let them go outside for the rest of the day. While they were outside I would bring my stereo in and have a party with the rest of the teachers.

Keri Kollmann Grade 8

If I could be a teacher for a day I would install hi-tech cameras at every angle in the room. Any disobedience will not be tolerated. If anybody so much as makes a peep, that person will be put in a small room with the echo of the one peep that he made. Any further tolerence will result in suspension.

Jason Mielke Grade 8

If I was a teacher for a day I would not qive them recess I would give them two lesson sets in math, English, social studies.

Jason D. Grade 7 If I were teacher for just one day, I ~.ould be kind and considerate and I would teach my class diligently, Every once in a big while I would have all of them write, "I will be kind to my teacher, especially when he's old" a zillion times.

Brent Bitter Grade 6 If I were teacher for a day I would let the kids pick out a movie to watch, but they can't talk during the movie or they would sit out in the hall. They also would have to have their work in on time and no more than an hours homework so they can watch TV. Kandi Indermuehle Grade B

Dr. Martin Luther College. New Ulm, Minnesota

1948. He and his wife. Adelia, will be remaining in New Ulm. Professor Sievert will be seen often on campus, especially for coffee hour at the round table-and will continue to enthusiastically support the DMLC sports' teams.

Professors Brick and Sievert represent 99 years of dedicated service in the ministry of the Lord.

99 Years Dedicated to Faithful Service

by Patty Hennig News Editor Ninety-nine combined years of dedicated service to their Lord has been given by Professors Delmar C. Brick and Erich H. Sievert. They will be retiring at the close of this school year. Both men have given great amounts of their time and talent to Dr. Martin Luther College.

They will be missed greatly.

Professor Brick and his wife. lone (nee Huebner) will be moving to Manitowoc, Wisconsin, where both are originally from. Professor Brick has given 44 years of service to the ministry. His first call was as a tutor to Northwestern College, where he also taught German. This was from 1943-1944. For the next year he was an assistant pastor at St. johns in Jefferson, WI. He also taught grades 3-5. From 1945 to 1953 he was pastor at Mt. Calvary in Kimberly. WI. Here he taught grades 5-8 also. In January of 1954 he accepted a call to be dean of students for both Dr. Martin Luther High School and College. He also had an average of 15 hours of classes perweek. Thiscontinued until the fall of 1959. When the high school became the academy, he continued to teach at the academy and serve as vice president until the year 1970.

From 1963-1970 Professor Brick also served as recruitment for both the high school and college. In 1970, he received a call to the college and became full-time recruitment director also. He has held this position to this point in his years of service. Professor Arlen L. Koestler will

be Recruitment Director upon Professor Brick's retirement.

Professor Brick has also been involved in the Ladies Auxiliary, serving as the faculty representative for twenty-seven years since the fall of 1959. Professor Mark J. Lenz has succeeded him this position.

Professor Brick has also been manager of the College Choir since 1964. This first year Professor Brick received the tenor evangelist part in the production of Bach's St. John's Passion. 1965 marked the year of the choir's first tour. At this time the ch~ir has accomplished the touring of every district in the Wisconsin Evangelical Synod. Professor Brick described the tours as very "enjoyable' experiences.

He will miss the students most. They are "one of the greatest assets that DMLC has had" other than the Word of God. In reference to his positions as representative to the Ladies Auxiliary, choir manager. and recruitment director, Professor Brick makes the comment that the "Lord has blessed me with that opportunity" of having contact with many people and congregations throughout the Synod.

Professor and Mrs. Brick's future plans include much travel. They are very interested in tourism and have also experienced jobs of tour guides.

Professor Brick has held a position on the New Ulm Historical Society Board.

Professor Sievert has been in the ministry for 55 years and at DMLC since

St. John's School in Neillsville.

Wisconsin, was Professor Sievert's first call. Between the years 1932 and 1945. he taught all grades: kindergarten to 8th.

1945-1948 was spent at First Lutheran School in LaCrosse. WI. From 1948 to 1950 he taught in both Dr. Martin Luther College and High School. From 1950 to the present Professor Sievert has been at DMLC. He was a member of the Academic Council from 1950-1976. For the past 12 years he has also been parlimentarian of the Synod.

Professor Sievert has also been very active in the church ministry. He has been a church organist for 17 years. Professor Sievert, his wife, and Naomi Voecks are the founders of the Sunday School for St. Johns Lutheran Church of New Ulm. He has been a guest preacher often on behalf of Christian education in the Midwest.

Professor Sievert considers it a special blessing to work with young people from kindergarten to the college years. He especially is pleased to see the progress made of students training to teach in our Synod schools. Professor Sievert has also been summer school director, education division chairman, and encouraged the addition and enlargement of many courses at DMLC. On October 3, 1982. Pastor Mischke was guest¡speaker for the 50th Anniversary of Professor Sievert. His text was Professor Sievert's motto in life: John 15: 16, "You did not choose me, but I chose you." Professor Sievert comes from a family very much involved in the teaching ministry. His family has 350 plus years as public ministers. Professor and Mrs. Sievert have also established a scholarship of $2.000 plus to help students who are in need of financial aid to continue in their education. We will certainly miss the teaching abilities of whom many of us affectionately call "Uncle Erich".

From the Editors Saying Goodbye

Keep your nose to the grindstone, but wrap it carefully!

by LuAnn Vatthauer Co-Editor May is here and the end of the schoolyear is fast approaching. The end of the school means many changes. Most noticeable will be the absence of certain leading people next year. The absence of Mrs. Siegler has been felt since February. Her dining table remained empty and was not used soon after her departure. Her area for chapel remained for her to sit. The women students had to get used to getting change in the Business Office or elsewhere. There was no "Ma" forthe students to talk to. No one was there to make sure the female students checked out when they would leave for the weekend. Two professors are retiring. Professor Brick will be moving to Manitowoc, WI.

through the eyes of a child your slopes lay steeper

He will be missed because he has done much to benefit DMLC since 1954. Professor Sievert will be staying here in New Ulm. It sure will be wonderful to be able to see him around campus in the future. About 100 more campus leaders will be leaving this May. They do not know where they will be next fall, but wherever they go, they will always remain in our memories.

your waters flowed deeper running free midst flowers wild in my eden my home amongst whose tall pine dome i stood enveloped lost in wondrous beauty in an enchanted sea of God's priceless gifts. no cost could measure your tranquil days your starry skies whose bright gaze mystified those eyes of a child.

I long¡ to stand upon your slopes, less steep, To walk upon your water's shore, less deep, To break free midst flowers wild in my Eden - my forever "home"> Amongst whose tall pine dome I could retreat and lose this frame Of reserved adulthood days To find the child's trusting, carefree ways Heard in your silence as His name Is whispered among your blossomed branches.

THE

MESSENGER

A scene from the Children's Theater production of Winnie the Pooh.

Pooh Comes to DM LC

by Amy Bergman Staff Writer What about a story? Very well, I'll tell you a story about how a frightening animal came to the forest-and about the terrible things that happened afterwards.

Once upon a time, a very long time agoabout last Friday-Winnie the Pooh lived in the forest under the name of Sanders.

On April 29, 30, and May 1, in six performances, Dr. Martin Luther College Children's Theater presented Winniethe-Pooh. The story begins with Pooh, who is hungry as always, trying to get some honey from a tree. As Pooh is deciding just how he is going to get the honey, Piglet and Eyeore tell of a terrible, wild animal that is coming to the forestKanga and her baby, Roo. When they arrive, Roo chooses Piglet as a playmate, so Kanga gets out her bathtub and soap to make Piglet suitable for her Roo. Meanwhile. Christopher Robin IStrying to shoot down the balloon that was supposed to carry Pooh to the honey, but now will not let him come back down.

Finally Pooh gets down, and everyone

decides that Pooh must rescue Piglet, so Pooh goes to Rabbit to ask for help.

Unfortunately, Rabbit offers Pooh some honey! While they are making plans for saving Piglet, Roo comes, explaining that he has run away. Now, with Roo as a ransom for Piglet, Pooh sets out to bargain with Kanga. He does not get very far, though, because he gets stuck in Rabbit's door from all the honey he ate.

With Rabbit and Roo inside and Pooh stuck in the door, time passes while the animals wait for Pooh to get thinner. Then one day-on Pooh's birthday, in fact-all the animals pulled and out came Pooh.

Piglet and Pooh were reunited; Roo, dirty and with a tummy-ache, was given back to his mother; and Pooh got a bath and some honey medicine from Kanga. All the animals and Christopher Robin were at Pooh's birthday party, and Pooh's present was just what he had wanted from the very beginning-a jar of honey!

Thanks, Children's Theater, for another exciting and fun presentation. We all loved Winnie-the-Pooh!

The days seemed to be so many, so slow yet the years have all flown by.

To all the friends that we have made to them we say good-bye.

The world is full of differences, and so it is with us We've grown, failed, loved, laughed, cried, gained and losed.

As with what God has promised the road is sometimes rough He stands beside. yet leads us through the time when life is tough.

His gentle hand of assurance, rests . firmly in our hand.

And gives us words of courage when we next make our stand.

We're going out now into the world, one that must be faced And in the world each must find her or his OWfI special place.

It may not be teaching, preaching or guiding or such but living God's life is just as much.

Yes, we're turning out to a real world, with food So, good'bye to the chimis, pizza pockets, oooohWho could forget the curfew, Rippe, and rooms that are airy Curriculum, kiddie lit; starting our own library, No more breakfast with Mrs. 8 No fresh doughnuts bulging me No more ice cream or french fries with the works Good-bye to the food that won't make the waist line hurt.

God and time have molded us, gently with His hand.

And on with life we'll continue just as God had planned.

A chapter in life is closing, yet to a fresh page we must turn

to write the next chapter in life, and while doing so, we learn.

Keeping in mind, acceptance of people who are not the same For they have something special, don't make them feel ashamed.

And when in life things go wrong, and people let you down Look in the mirror. see yourself, ask God why He's wearing a frown.

Live life as our God wants us, not grumbling with no smile But live life being happy giving glory to God all the while.

have defeated Willmar, and and Hamline, at the time of

In the top spots of the team are Laura Fryer, Amy Rahmlow, and Kristine Smith, all of whom have played the toughest of the opposition and have held up well.

Coach Dallmann feels that the strong part of the team this year has been in the last spots of the team though. These spots contain Sarah Kruschel.

Michele Fluegge, and Cindy Techlin. Their effort, panicularly Michele's 3-2 record, have pulled the team through to theirvictories.

The team has three matches to play yet. They play Concordia and Bethany again, and also face the tough Bethel team. Play well as you finish the year, girls!

An Evening in Paris

by Susan Warner Stafl Writer Pertez-vous Francais? Do you speak French? If you don't, you may have had a little trouble reading the menu at this year's Spring Banquet. Following the theme, "An Evening in Paris," the setting gave all of us a chance to take a little vacation, if only in our minds. from schoolwork and books. The decorations, which even included a French an display, created a pleasant atmosphere for us to enjoy the delicious cuisine: chicken breasts with cream sauce, tender" vegetables, and golden croissants topped oil with a fresh strawberry dessert. Delicieux!

Once again Spring Banquet was the time to hand out the many awards for participation in sports and clubs. The Senior Athletes of the Year were also recognized. A special congratulations to them and also to the new Collegiate Council officers who were announced at the banquet. To end the festivities, special entenainment was provided by DMLC's own talented students.

A banquet like this doesn't fall into place on its own, it requires much planning and work. The Collegiate Council put many long hours into organizing this year's Spring Banquet to mak~ it an enjoyable evening for all who attended. I hope everyone enjoyed their "Evening in Paris." Once again, a big thank you to all who helped make this banquet a success. Or, as the French wouldsav - Merci beaucoup!

Deucing it Up

The ladies track team is once again running around the campus, preparing for upcoming meets. They practice their events around campus since DMLC doesn't have a track.

The team has been doing very well so far this year. One of their most impressive meets was at Winona State. The Lady Lancers won the meet over three larger teams. They have also won one other meet this year.

Coach Gronholz thinks that the team this year is stronger than last year's. He feels, they have picked up some excellent athletes from the freshman class. Here is a run-down of some key members for the Lady Lancers: Senior Becki Renner, Juniors Heidi Shuster and Carol Reichow.

Sophomores Deb Kiecker and Gretchen Kempf, and Freshmen Kirsten Menke and Karen Lorenz.

The men's track club is also practicing with the women this year. Interest in the track club seems to be pretty strong.

Some of their key runners are Dwight Sandvold, Steve Towne, and MarvWittig.

Farewell

by LuAnn vettheuer Co-Editor Wednesday, May 6 was the 25th Anniversary celebration of Mrs. Vera "Ma" Siegler as housemother at DMLC. Mrs. Siegler became a housemother in June of 1962. She served in Hillcrest, Centennial and the Highland-Hillview Dormitories. This past February she left her position because of physical ailments.

To start off the celebration, there was a special dinner in the cafeteria. Following

Lancers are 2¡2' in matches where individual ellon has played a leading role.

Dan Plath has had many tough matches, being the team's number one singles player. Following him is Mike Koester with a single's record of 2-2. Brad Nommensen has been hot as the team's fourth man, with a record of 3-1. Coach Koestler says that Brad gives his all to win a match, and it sure has paid all.

The team's strong point this year seems to be in the doubles matches. With Dan and Mike teaming up forthe top spot, they have fought for a 3-1 record. The other two doubles teams have 1-3 and 31 records. Playing tough, the doubles teams are the ones responsible for winning the tennis team matches against Concordia St. Paul and Willmar.

Since Pillsbury does not have a team, there is no conference this year. The team has been busy enough though, playing high-class teams from South Dakota and Iowa. It is a rebuilding year, but the team is doing quite well, with a lot of effort and fun. Good luck with the rest of the season men!

the dinner, a special service thanking God for the 25 years of service replaced the normal chapel. President Huebner was the speaker at this service. After the service, Peter Sordahl. the Collegiate Council President, gave a presentation.

Then Dean Zarling did a "This Is Your Life" type of presentation.

Following this, gifts were presented to Mrs. Siegler. Five special evergreens were planted as a living memorial. Also, a special gift from the student body was given to Mrs. Siegler.

Thank you, Mal

The WELS version of nepotism has taken rule on DMLC's campus as Mrs. Ruth Zarling, the mother of Dean Zarling, has taken the temporary position of housemother. Mrs. Zarling has been with us since our return from Easter break and will stay until the completion of the school year.

Presently from Mishicott, WI, Mrs. Zarling enjoys oil painting and golfing.

This past fall she decided to challenge her fear of water and, began taking swimming lessons so that she can enjoy another hobby of many youngsters. Mrs. Zarling was a pastor's wife for 43 years and has five sons.

by Gene Schinzel Staff Writer The Lancer baseball team is oil to a fast stan, with a 7-3 record, including a 5-1 conference record. Coach Meihack says that pitching is carrying the team right now. Top pitchers are Gregg Birkholz, Joel Burmeister, and Jell Schoenherr, who hurled a complete game shutout.

Meihack says the hitting hasn't always been there. The leading batters are catcher Randy Cox and Joel Burmeister, who hit one of the longest home runs in school history.

The conference is well-balanced this season, with five or six teams with a chance to win the title. Meihack hopes the team can continue to play well and believes they will be in contention in the end.

Mrs, Zarling joins family

by Cynthia J. Hahn Staff Writer

Off to a Quick Start

Dean introduced his mother in as our newest "young face on

campus." Just like most students when they first enter campus, Mrs. Zarling has found herself lost in the dorms a few times. Happily to re;on, she has found her way out of them. When asked how she likes her newest challenge of girls, Mrs. Zarling replied, "It is a very interesting job. I feel it is a worthwhile and fulfilling purpose in my life."

Although Mrs. Zarling will only be with us for a short time, she has come to know many of us and is always willing to chat. If anyone hasn't met her, stop by the front desk, she will be happy to meet you. A big thank-you goes out to Mrs. Zarling for taking this opportunity to serve us.

Pieces A round of applause goes out to the cast and crew of Winnie the Pooh for putting on another excellent production.

Although the Children's Theater is based for children, it is enjoyed by all.

Tomorrow all of our team sports wrap up their seasons as we approach the end of the school year. 'Althouqh each competition did not result in a win, all had excellent effort put forth and showed the God given talents of all panicipating.

"An Evening in Paris" was experienced in the DMLC gymnasium on May 2 as the 1987 Spring Banquet atmosphere. Hope all attending had a night to remember and treasure.

One week from tonight is May t:Jight.

Come one and all as the DMLC choirs put on their final concert of the season. It will be entertaining, emotional and a final farewell to our graduating seniors!

It has often been said, "Never say 'goodbye', but rather 'so lonq'", May God bless all of the seniors upon graduation and entering the teaching ministry. Take the Lord with you in every step you take, and your life will be richly blessed. You will be missed by all of us.

Bar Bake-off Results

by LuAnn Vatthauer Co-Editor The Messenger's bar bake-off was held Tuesday. April 21 at 6:00 p.m. in the Messenger rEam. The judges were four Messenger staff members. The judging was done on a point system in five separate categories. The categories consisted of flavor. texture. appearance, originality and homemade appeal. Prizes

by Carrie Bullard Staff Writer Do you know what a ZYMURGY is?

When asked this question. eight of our fellow students replied. "What a what is?" Actually this was their first response followed by moments of Inspiring silence. And finally it came - the decreed answer: Freshman Bethel Kuckhahn had this to say, "zebras with multiple marriages," while freshman Rick Cody thought that it very well could be a name for Mark Zoellner's brace!

Sophomores Beth Pittenger and Jim Burow came up with these two "unique" answers. Respectively they are "the exportation of rare. but brightly colored. birds from the Persian marshes" and "an ancient ritual dance coaxing fertility from the land, performed in the United States during the 1920's depression; it is a kin to the foxtrot. jitterbug. jive, and Charleston dances; recent archeological digs have unearthed evidence that these rites were also connected with horrible stuffed animal sacrifices. ,.

Naomi Schultz of the Junior class thought it sounded something like "an excuse given to the nurse for skipping a class:' Kurt Wittmershaus, of the S8!Tle class, said it sounded to him like some sort of "swampy field in England:' Anonymously, a senior girl knowingly proclaimed. "It's what you get when you return to classes after student teaching!"' However, Skip Bremer, a senior guy, insisted that it was "a frustration organization started by Nertz."

What would you say a ZYMURGY is?

Well /. myself, being the author of this article. asked one more person: Mr. Webster; he had this to say. "the chemistry of fermentation."
