Some of the girls stay in homes near the campus, Although the college freshmen number only 102, it has the largest number of men of any college fresh• men class in the history of the school, 34. The college senior class numbers 48, and therefore has the • distinction of being the largest college graduating class. Fourth year college graduates have never numbered over 30.

Midwestern states have the largest representation.

This 'year's first production of the Luther Literary League "The Wall" will be a compelling one act drama which entwin€s- seven people in a suspense-filled half hour of entertainment.

Two major women's roles, one major and four minor men's roles make up the complete cast. The cast includes Rosemary Belter as Tonda. Carol Kohl as Matisse, Bill Habermann as Zohar, NelRon Zim~ mermann as !\'l~llor. Frank Corona :18 Krawitz, Tom Schulz aR Maylo; t.he role of Ryko has not yet been filled.

This play is not narr..ed after the Berlin Wall. but rather, it is an abstract, and therefore could have happened anywhere during previous wars.

The opening date oC presentation has tentatively been set for Novem.J ber 16th. It will be presented as an assembly type program.

Be~ cause of the na t.ure of the play, only the faculty, college students, and high !'l.chool junior!' and seniors will be able to attend.

This play received a "distinguish· cd" rating in the 15th annual Virginia State one act play festival, and also the honored "Thespian Certificate."

Thoughts on Teac:hing

Editorials New Innovation Last May, the Student Council initiated a new plan for electing student hod,' officers. This plan woulei be tried this year on a trial basis. Anyone interested could run for a certain office providing he meet the qualifications prescribed in the Student Council constitution, Having to present a campaign speech before the entire student body was another stipulation, This type of election procedure should he continued, All students can become acquainted with the candidates.

Previously. most of the new students voted blindly.

Perhaps the campaigns could bc made more lively, Besides the buttons and posters, which arc very effective and necessary, demonstrations could he added, But because of time, demonstrations should be ani,' for the presidential candidates and then, too, limited from 5 to 10 minutes, These demonstrations, however, would have to be very well organized lest they be a waste of time.

The new plan proved verv successfuL Wh~'? Because vou, the student body. made it a success, A word of commendation is certainly in order. To the Student Council, who is presently reviewing the new election plan, goes the credit of its inauguration and to you, the student body. a salute for your fine showing of school spirit. In the past, school spirit has often been lacking.

Much of life is simile. The autumn breeze sends a leaf floating to the ground. It sends it swirling across the lawn and into the street, where it falls lifeless with many others beside the curb. Gone are its days of beauty in the sun. From its hirth in the spring, its g-rowth in summer and its death in autumn, has come its final decay in the end beneath the snow.

Here we stand in the spring of our lives. Ahead of us lies the weathering summer. 'Ve will meet many in the coming summer whose lives will be touched hy ours. As we, too, nrc tossed about by the storms and winds of life, how wil] we meet these cthers-v-how will we impress them? Will some word we have spoken, some thought we have expressed, touch the souls of those we knew, or those we taught?

Will we carry out so faithfully that task which God has given us before the autumn of our lives?

By the time we ronch our second year, however, we feel a lit t lo dieT to the idea of teaching. Yet, our concept if; still a bit vague because we have not had any courses which acquaint us with teaching as such in addition to the fact that \\"(1" simply have given the idea litl.lo serious thought.

In spite or this, however, year after year many are called upon to alleviate the unfortunate situation that exists in our Synod by going out as "emergency teachers."

This is an idea of which not only most of the dedicated students disapprove, but which the faculty is also discouraging and is doing what it can to remedy it.

Oh, Lord, may we, as teachers be,

True, many of those who go out, because they are determined and confident that with the help of God they can t ench, do do a good job as far as they are able, In this way the children are provided with a Christian teacher; however, it might be a good idea to sit down and realize that teaching is a grave responsibility not only for the feeding of the children's minds, but especially for the feeding of their souls. Furthermore, at the beginning of our second and third years, we really have only a very meager background for teaching and for the most part, lack the maturity needed to handle little children with patience and understanding.

Would it not, therefore, in most cases, be a greater service to these children that we remain in school in order to gain sufficient background and "know-how" to teach the children in the best manner possible? - After. all, don't we -really owe this to them since they are the .pr~cioys gifts of God? If we can realize this, we undoubtedly, approach our remaining years at DMLC feeling quite different from the way we had felt before.

Thy workers for eternity.

The Campus at Night Last night I sat outside, watching and listening to the campus at night. For a while an was quiet, except for the sound of a typewriter here and there and for the lilting mixture which rose from the music buildings. Here and there students drifted toward the Music Center, the library, or back to their dormi"tortes.

But peace and stillness ruled the air from corner to corner.

_.,..r

Instead of feeling as though we are ready -to teach, we probably feel quite inadequate to the task of dealing with the highly impressionable minds of little children. Each wonders about himself and asks to his friends: "Am I really equipped with the ability to say to the children without 'talking down' to them? Will it be possible for me to make them understand the concepts which I will be teaching them? AmI, am I willing to shoulder the full responsibility of being the children's educator in the complete sense of the word?"

In answering these questions, most of us must say, "I'm not really sure." Luckily, however, in spite of our Qualms and unsureness, by this time most of us have learned not to be quitters and thus are able to remain at DMLC to finish our education.

And, by staying, we do gradually gain some confidence with the help of our methods courses and practice school. What would help, however, at this time when we so desperately need it, is a bit of verbal assurance on the part of some of our instructors.

Sometimes, I think they are inclined to (0;get that even the most dedicated of us students have periods of misgivings concerning our choice of a profession. It is at such times that the encouragement of our superiors would be deeply appreciated.

It would convince us wavering and unsure students that we, personally, are needed and that it does matter whether or not we actually decide to go out into the field at all.

by Barbara Weyland

Then suddenly, unexpectedly, a bell cut the stillness with startling brilliancy. ·At· once the' 'Was lashed with screams and sli~,uts of laughter; one -by one the doors swung out into the autumn air.

Laughter and Quiet conversation held the throne as students crossed the campus streets.

1ir

But then before too long, little by little, they turned back to their rooms. One by one the lights died out. Ten o'clock ... ten-thirty ... now only a few lights burned on campus, and soon they too were gone. Eleven o'clock ... peace again was king, while nothing stirred on campus but the trees.

The campus slept. "

Progress Reported

Simile

No doubt by this time most of us students have begun to ask ourselves, ju st what is my concept of teaching?

If I may venture to judge, I am willing to say that most of us really aren't sure, just what teaching entails.

To most of us, when We b(~gin attending DMLC, teaching seems to he something about which we don't han:' to lhink as yet.

In fact, a great number of us aren't even sure that we really want. to touch but have come -to DMLC to ~('(' whether or not something here can make us decide whether or not we do.

It is without any fear whatsoever of being gainsaid that we give expression to this deduction: Those who are subscribers to the MESSENGER are people who are interested in the school which this publication represents.

Where there is interest in the school itself, it can, therefore, also be assumed that there is interest in the various affairs of the school in question.

I

Convinced of this, we believe that it is desired on the part of the MESSENGER circle of readers ' periodically to be advised of the progress experienced by the DMLC Memorial Organ Fund. Happily, , we may tell our friends: THERE HAS BEEN PROGRESS. No, it has not been anything spectacular, but it has been steady. We can report that at this time the value of the fund is in excess of $24,000.

Though any and all contributions to this fund naturally are welcome, it is particularly gratifying when former Hilltoppers, in appreciation of their school days at DMLC occasionally remember this fund with a gift.

Such a joy, in a greater than ordinary degree, was ours recently.

A former student sent us a sizable gift: $50.00.- Above all, however, it was the note on the envelope containing the gift which pleased us so much. It read: In loving memory of seven years at DMLC. We are not ashamed to say that we are passing this information on to you in the hope that it may serve as an incentive for others to help our worthy fund attain its goal.

Yet we are doing this even more so for another reason. We want to share, our joy with you. When an unsolicited word of appreciation reaches us from..one whom we went. privileged to prepare lor the higb calling 01 feeding the lambs of Jesus' fold, believe us, our hearts are filled with no small amount of joy.

We're Back We're back to school!

New From The Classes :ollege I The College freshman class held -s first meeting of the year on Ocober 4. Since at this meeting the .rst order of business was to elect lass officers, the class elected the allowing: Max Zechinato was electd president; Phil Frey was elected ice presiden t; Kathy Raabe will erve as secretary; and Gerry Hecknan will be in charge of finances.

Fhe class is going to elect its stulent council representatives and tudent union representative at its text meeting.

They are now in the process of ilanning their fall activity which vill take place some time in Octoier.

College II DMLC's second college class got Iff to a good start this year with orornpt elections of class officers md student representatives.

Herb Wolff is the man in charge )f our meetings, Bob Kuehn is vice oresident, Casey Bauer will jot notes n the secretary's book, and Sharon Huebner will ~ve charge of the ourse strings this year. Norma Knas was elected to represent our -lasa in the Student Council, and Jerry Zoellner is our Student Union representative.

The odors of etbyl , acetate snd carbon tetrachloride are becoming luite common to our class members in their active search of insects for biology. But it seems that chilly weather and rain aren't helping us much. Some of us have begun good collections, I hear. Other projects already done in biology were / leaf collections and herb collections.

Before the "North Wind" moves in, wo plan to go bird watching.

One of our classmates, Linda Kaiser, has accepted an emergency call.

Linda is teaching grade three in Racine, Wisconsin.

We all wished her good-bye and best of luck at a going-away party given in her honor by the class.

Our class this year i. almost evenly divided into three sections of about thirty students each, since we lost approxima tely thirty students since last spring. We now hope that most of us de'iide to stay for the rest of college at DMLC. This year we have four new classmates: Joan Lueneburg, Gary Heckman, Roger Lunzman, and Judy Hardman, whom we welcome to DMLC.

College III As the Junior class welcomes into its circle quite a few new studentsMLTC's 1962 graduates 2.nd those who came back after teaching for one year-it must also bid farewell to those who have accepted calls to teach in our Synod's schools during this school year. Eldon Lemke has accepted a call to St. Croix Lutheran High School near St. Padl, where he will teacb religion. Er.glish, and civics. Ruth Lenius wili teach first and second grades at St. Matthew Lutheran Grade School in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. We wish our classmates God's richest blessings in their work. May. He help and guipe them in this their first year in the teaching ministry.

Casavant Organ Installed On August 25, . 1962, Mr. John Shawhan of Saginaw, Michigan, completed the installation of a new organ in the choir room of DMLC's Music Center.

The new organ is a product of Casavant Freres Limitee of Quebec, Canada.

The Casavant organ is the largest of the units of eight organs purchased by the Synod to meet our needs. Its larger size is due to the fact that it is a straight organ-· there is no borrowing of pipes.

Every stop key or register has its own row or rows of pipes. Yet it is an organ that fits well into many medium-sized churches.

This has practical benefit for the student because most practice organs are built for the small practice rooms in which they are located.

The Casavant organ has two manuals and a pedal board, each having six stops and a total of eighteen rows of pipes.

The organ is designed according to the classical principles of the 17th and 18th eenturies.

The organ will be used for lessons and practice, especially for college juniors and seniors. Its location in the choir room makes it ideal for auditions and recitals before smaller groups.

There is also a laboratory idea involved in its location.· Many practical aspects of organ playing in churches can be demonstrated and practiced there by the students.

The organ will also be used to provide music for the radio services which are broadcast from the choir room.

The consultant for all organs in the Music Center was Professor Paul Bunjes, chairman of the music department of Concordia Teacher's College, River Forest, Illinois.

C0IIege I II Enloys • Party

On September 25, 1962, the College jUniOr~'- held a roller .skating party, their faU activity, 1at the Morgan Sk 109 Rink.

After attending chapel in the Auditorium at 5:15, the forty-four party-bound students trooped to tbe dining hall, where, to the bewilderment of the hungry people already waiting to eat, they moved right to the head of the serving line. At 6:15 the juniors boarded a chartered, bus in front of the Administration Building.

On the way to' Morgan the school music students sang songs (with the correct syllables, no less) they had learned in class. Later, the back and front sections of the bus competed in harmonizing several of the old favorite songs.

For some of the skaters, the otherwise clean and well-kept-up skating rink was at times too narrow at the corners. Th~ speeders and illegal passers found it quite easy to skate right into the wall, as Eldon and Barb can testify.

As the night wore on, however, it. seemed that 'everyone was having an enjoy"able time.

By 10:15 most skaters were ready once more to trade their wheels for shoes and return to DMLC. As they got off the bus, many of the tired, yet happy and talkative college students walked as if they were still skating.

The following morning brought several complaints of sore limbs and bruised knees (victims of which were treated for abrasions by the first aiders in our class!).

College IV The college seniors attended the Cinerama production, "The Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm," Saturday afternoon, September 29.

Accompanying the group were their class advisors, Professors Hoenecke and Trapp.

Boarding a chartered bus at 11 a.m., they arrived at the Cooper Theatre in time for the afternoon matinee.

scholars, Wilhelm and Jacob Grimm, their fantastic lives, adventures, and romances, and of the fabulous tales they told. In the production, three of their tales were put to life, namely, "The Dancing Princess," "The Singing Bone," and "The Cobbler and the Elves."

Everyone agreed that it was an enjoyable production because the story puts one into a wonderful world where f'veryone livE'S harril:\'

Choir Setup Changed Besides new faculty members in the music department of DMLC this year, there have come other changes which affect nearly everyone on campus.

This year there are seven groups of choirs instead of four.

As in the past, College Choir I is the concert choir. It is directed by Professor M. Zahn, who filled the vacaney left when Professor M. AIbrecht accepted a call to Mequon last year. Seventy members of the college meet four times weekly.

This choir will go on a concert tour in the spr-ing.

Colh'ge Choir II consists of all students of College III and IV not in Choir I, and all other male College students.

It will be a balanced choir of between 75 and 90 voices.

Under the direction of Professor B. Backer, it meets twice weekly and will be doing some concert work ..

The Treble Choirs A and Bare made up of all remaining College women of College I and II. Music teachers in charge are Miss Ruth Backer and Professor Nolte, respectively.

These two groups of

about 60 to 80 voices each practice twice weekly and will sing· in the mass chorus at concerts.

Professor Nolte and Mr. Zimmerman conduct the high school choir groups. High School Choir I consists of between 75-85 members of grades 10, 11, and 12. Under Professor Nolte's direction, they rehearse three times a week. All other students in these three grades not in Choir I arc divided into two groups: grades 11 and 12 are directed by Professor Nolte and Mr. Zimmerman conducts the 10th grade group.

An interesting note is that this year over seventy per cent of the College students will be practicing choir work only one-half as much as before, and that Over sixty perc=nt of the high school students wilI be practicing only once a week.

From this we can see that there are more groups of choirs than there were in the past. But no matter how the choirs are arranged, they continue to sing to the' praise and glory of God throughout the halls of DMLC.

First Frantic Hours

Four Attend Council

My first thoughts on registration day' were sheer panic. I was afraid I wouldn't know where to go or what to do. I didn't know if I would "like my. dormitory and most of all I wondered about my roommates.

But I collected myself and was ready to face what was ahead for me.

My parents decided we would get to the school early and be the first ones in line. Although we did get there early, we weren't the first in line. I think the other students must have been there all night! We finally got inside the auditorium and to the first desk. 'Vhen I sat down, a piece o{ paper was put in front of me. I filled it oul and was then told to go to the next desk. The sign ab<hl": t~li::; one stlid, "Tuition and Fees. Pay here."

Oh boy, now I can give them all my money.

Then my thoughts started wandering. I thought of all the beautiful clothes I could buy with that mOney, but I was abruptly brought back to the things at hand by a milRCUline voice telling me to sit down.

I reluctantly paid my fees and went on to the next desk. Here I filled out more papers and was told to go to another desk. What confusion.

I was beginning to wonder if school was worth all this bother.

Another chair was put under me and another p: per was put in front of" me. Oh, will this never end!

Ah, almost called had to ty-five

at last I con see the end. I missed one table, but they me back. This time I only sign my name 2nd pay twencents. Now I was out and

I thought J could leave, but someone carne up and said, "This way for books."

Tnto (lnother room I wenl. All I had to do here was get a ton of books and carry them. First, I went t.o gf!t my supplies.

I didn't know what to get, sO by the time I got out of there I had notebooks of every {'alar, paper, and some stationery I didn't need! While my mother held all of these things, I tried to find the cheapest books with the most answers in them.

Finally J got all the right ones. My bill \\lm, tabulated and I paid some morc monf!y.

Ivly registration day had come to an end. As I thought back upon all the things I had to do, J decided it was worth it. From then on thHe waf; no more panicky feeling, hoI jus\. ~\\·Pf>t. relief that. t 11(' \vhol!'

Four representatives from the high school Student Council were sent as delegates to the Governor's Youth Traffic Safety Conference.

The conference was held at the University of Minnesota Agricultural Campus and on the Minnesota State Fair Grounds at St. Paul, September 7, 1962.

The opening session started at 9:00 A.M. The delegates were greeted by Dr. H. Macy, Dean of the Institute of Agriculture, University of Minnesota, and Judy Ann Ferstad, Miss Minnesota.

The honorable Elmer L. Andersen, Governor of Minnesota, also gave his greetings.

The delega tes were assigned to different panel groups.

In the morning, the delegates saw action demonstrations and i.Ii the afternoon they participated in discussions about youth traffic safety.

The four delegates were Jim Schmeling, Janice Watchke, Gena Lemke, and Paul Jacobs.

Coach Waters was chaperon.

Band Takes To The Field A m.arching band, under the direction of Mr. Roy Zimmermann and the drum majon~hip of Rolland Menk, is taking shape at DMLC for the first time in the history of the schoo1. This football srason, however, will not see the band out on the field, for the groundwork must be laid first.

Before the band can take to the ..field, the personnel must have memorized several marches and know them well enough to play without spending much thought on them, since marching takes a great amount of co-ordination and the music must not be a hindrance to any member.

Basic drill on the field will begin this year.

By next year, routines will be ready for halftime entertainment at football games. Because most of the football games are away this year, the band has additional time to work on perfecting the music.

Next year the band. will march for all home football games and perhaps on other occasions.

Because the time ordinarily used to prepare concert selections is being spent in building a marching band, there will be no November concert t"is year.

Installation Opening Day On September 5, 1962, the student body of Dr. Martin Luther College assembled in the chapel for the opening service of the 1962-1963 school year, which included the installation of six new instructors.

Pr~sident Carl Schweppe ga ve the opemng address.

The Rev. Otto Engel of Danube, Minnesota, chairman of the board of regents, performed the rite of installation.

Gilbert Fischer was installed as professor in the education department and Arnold J. Koelpin as professor in the history department.

Waldemar H. Nolte was installed as professor in the music department, now headed by Professor Meilahn Zahn, who was also installed at this service.

Miss Marietta Meyer and Miss Victoria Schuetze were officially inducted into their offices as practice school supervisors.

A Fifth Room Added With the increasing enrollment for t~e 1962-1963 school year, Dr. Martin Luther College has found it n.ecessary to increase the opportunittes for student teaching.

College authorities have endeavored to do this by co-operating with St. Paul's Lutheran School in opening another practice teaching room. .This brings to a total of five the number o.f ro~ms, under immediate superviS10~, In which students have opport.umty for student teaching.

With the. added opportunity for college ~mor . WOmen to gain some experrenee m working with kindergarten children, the total rooms in which students do student teaching might be listed as six.

The following is a list of rooms, grades, and supervisors: Kindergarten - Annex Miss Esther Buenger Grades 1-2 - Room 101 Mrs. Erich Sievert, Supervisor Grades 1-2 - Room 102 Miss Victoria Schuetze, Supervisor Grades 3-4 - Room 1 M.i~ Marietta Meye:i, S\.;-pervisor Grades 5-6 - Room 103 Professor Schulz and Professor Heckmann Grades 7-8 _. Room 112 Professor Sievert and Professor Brei Enrollment in these rooms is usually held to a maximum of twentyfour children.

Rooms 103 and 112 have twenty-seven, however.

Student teachers spend one week in observing in the room in which they will teach and then teach for five weeks. During the five-week period, they have added opportunity for observation on grade levels other than the ones in which they are doing student teaching.

On the basis of the student's work and the report to the faculty, the Conference of Presidents who {'onstitute the Assignment Commission assigns {'alls to the students who have completed their practice teaching along with the other requirements for graduation.

Hilltoppers Dump Bethany

Time Out - -Soccer, Anyone?

"Soccer?

How do you play soccer?"

That has been the question which has tloated around the campus since the College soccer team was formed. Despite the little amount 01 knowledge anyone had about .soccer- that is, except Heinz Zickler-the soccer team was lormed, and 16 men tried out for the team.

Alter running up and down the Center Street hill lind around the athletic field, the team received instruction on the rules and how to play the game of soccer from· Mr. Zickler. Mr. Zickler was extremely qualified to teach the men since he was an expert soccer player in Germany before coming to America.

Many times Heinz was seen outracing the college men for a ball (Heinz claims to be the same age as does Jack Benny-39) and showing them the finer points of a fine game.

Those of us who were fortunate enough to see the soccer team in action against Bethany in its .first game witnessed a line display 01 teamwork.

For most of us, it was the first soccer game which we had ever seen and it definitely will not be the last. Many sports

No words can accurately describe the speed and the excitement of the game as the ball is kicked, batted with the head, shoulders, and chest from ono end of the field to the other. And if anyone dare think that this game is easy, soft. or one for the girls, let me ask how many persons would be willing to run the length of a football field for 45 minutes without a time-out or Test period.

The game was marred by frequent errors which were due in part to the fact that this was a first for most of the players.

The spirit 01 the hoys, however. made up for many of the mistakes.

The game of soccer is divided into two 45-minute periods. The Hilltoppers were in complete command throughout the first half and led at the end of that half by a score of 4-1. During the second half, the Bethany team seemed to come to life and scored on even terms with the home team. The fin. 1 score was 7-4.

What is soccer? Well. the best way to find out is to watch the team in action and cheer them on to another victory.

Noone will be sorry that he took the time to watch the game.

Here's a vote of congratulations and encouragement due the players and to Heinz Zickler and Jerry Waters, the coaches.

by Dan Schmeling

RAMS ON THE GO The Rams, looking lor an even better season this year than in previous years, have banked their conlidence . on a fast and challenging team. The team is comprised 01 twenty-eight members, of which eleven are seniors, five are juniors, eight are sophomores, and four are freshmen.

The starting eleven is powered by a !lne whose weight average is 185 pounds and a backfield with an averag~ of 152 pounds.

After completing only four games, ineluding homeroming; the squad. has already racked up a mentionable number of statistics.

Although they have dropped two 01 the four games played, the team has accumulated 62 points, compared with 46' points which have been scored' against them by their opponents.

Though it was impossible to use halfback Quincy Wiley because of a shoulder separation, the Luther backfield moved the ball 768 yards in 167 attempts to bring the average gain to 4.6 yards per attempt.

Delensively, the line has kept their opponents jumping by successfully making 205 tackles. .The linemen are led in individual tackles by Dennis Halvarson (38), Louis Sievert (31), and Fritz Hackbarth (30).

Halvarson, with 38, has a good chance of breaking the school record 01 58 tackles set last year by Willie Engel.

The DMLC soccer team defeated Bethany by a score of 7-4 in the first soccer game for each team.

As this game marked the first game for this year, it also marked the first inter-scholastic soccer game in the history of our school.

activities can become boring as they move slowly through the rituals of the game-case in point the American pastime, otherwise known as baseball-c-however, this can not be said of soccer. Except for the possible ex· ception of ice hockey, soccer seems to be the most exciting spectator sport around.

Vs. Trinity In Luther's first outing 01 the season, the Trinity Greyhounds managed to sneak away with a narrow 12-13 victory.

Even with our 157 yards rushing and 10 first downs we were not able to come to our leet and overcome the Greyhound attack. F,ita Haekbarth and··Tom Koepsell led the Luther scoring by running one touchdown each.

Vs. Sanborn Although the husky Sanborn team was favored to win easily, they were able to score only 12 points against the determined Rams. Luther's 6 points were scored by Friti Hackbarth in the third quarter.

Vs. Storden Luther's Rams got their "football legs" back in shape lor the third game of the season and took an away game from Storden by the score of 32 to 13. This score is unique to Luther because it is the highest Luther score in eleven man footba1l since Iootball was reintroduced in 1958.

Averaging 7 yards an attempt, and with the aid of 14 first downs, Luther walked over the defenseless Storden team. Luther points were scored by Hackbarth (18), Tom Koepsell (6), Halvarson (I), and John Gronholz (1).

The students who turned out for the game witnessed a fine display of teamwork and spirit which should carry the team to future victories.

New Style Hits Campus College blazers are to be. had in the near future for those who have agreed to order the new jacket.

The college blazer, a new addition to the campus, has its own original crest and may become the official dress 01 the college department.

Bill Radke, who designed the crest, initiated the idea of the blazers and was backed by a small group of. interested men. Within the space of two days, a large majority of the college men gave their consent to the innovation.

Fifty-one of the collegians have placed orders lor the new navy blue blazer.

The blue blazer comes with a red double eagle crest with a gold outline. The red, gold, and white colors are smartly silhouetted by the crest's basic navy blue background.

This sports blazer will be shown on the campus on November second, when the official day (or wearing them has tentatively been set. The blazer can be worn to all classes and on all dress-up occasions.

It was designed to distinguish the college men from those in the high school department, a distinction which seems to be lacking when the two groups are mixed.

The blazer and crest costs twentyfour dollars and is being purchased from Fishers in Mankato.

Of course, the "Fuchs" boys got their s-hare of exercise, too,

Special COlvention Slated For Wednesday Dr. Martin Luther Collelre will be hoat to a special convention of the Wi.consi':' Evanrrelical Lutheran Synod from November 7-9.

Because of this convention, the students of DMLC will have an extended mid-semester break from November 3-12.

An important aspect of this convention will be the discussion of Synod's educational institutions in connection with the report of the Educational Consultant, who was hired by the Synod last year. Some matters lacing the more than 300 delegates, both advisory and voting, are whether DMLC should be expanded from its present size of 530 to 750 students; whether Milwaukee Lutheran Teachers' College should be' officially established and what its luture will be; and what can be done concerning the suggested separation 01 the high school and college departments at both DMLC and Northwestern College 01 Watertown, Wisconsin.

In connection with this, the building program will also be considered. There will be a discussion of missions. The church union committee will rneet.

The large number 01 delegates will be housed in Centennial Hall and the Men's Dormitory.

Some of them will be staying in professors' homes and homes of friends in New Ulm. In the event that a large group remains unhoused, they will be quartered in West Hall.

Major Production Announced Gilbert and Sullivan's Ruddicore has been chosen as this year's LLL production.

In the past the LLL has given such Gilbert and Sullivan works as H. M. S. Pinafore, Iolanthe, The Mikado, and The Gondoliers.

The League has also presented plays.

The LLL has chosen Miss Krook as this year's directress. Miss Krook has directed the above mentioned operettas and has helped direct many class plays and LLL plays. Professor Backer has consented to be the laculty director. He has also helped with directing class plays.

Marley Zahn and Ron Shilling are the student directress and director, respectively.

Both students were active in the production of The Condoliera.

Mission Projects Begun Immediately following the N 0vember recess, students of Dr. Martin Luther College will have an opportunity to give miscel1aneous articles to the Indian mission at Cibecue, Arizona, according to a report from chairman, Dave Jacobs.

These miscellaneous articles may be in the form of clothing (especially boys', but also ,iris'); shoes, dishtowels, dishcloths, aprons, children's books lor the library, or even old Sunday School lessons, hymnals, and harmonicas.

The articles along with the collection 01 $165, will be sent to the mission at Cibecue to help alleviate their great needs as revea led by Owen Dorn, teacher at the mission and a 1962 graduate of DMLC. Priscilla Smith, a former student at DMLC also teaches at this school.

It is hoped by the committee in charge 01 this project that the collection together with the donated miscellaneous articles will meet the $500, goal set by the Student Council.

The project, Cibecue, and others which will fellow during the school year are sponsored by the Student Council to help acquaint the students with the various missions supported by the Wisconsin Synod.

In addition it wants to give aid to those missions which are in need of help.

In helping to carry out the mission project, posters were made acquainting students with the various aspects of the mission, which according to Time Magazine is located in the most "out-of-the-way" place in the United States. Besides the posters, various items made by these Apache Indians were placed on display in the hall of the Administration Building. These items were loaned to the school by Mrs. Ema Sprengeler, a New Ulm resident, whose husband served the Indian mission during the 1930's; and Rev. F. Nitz, pastor of St. John's Lutheran Church, New Ulm, who served the mission Irom 1949-1952.

Anyone who still wishes to give a money contribution to the Cibecue fund may place it in the box in the library.

Coming On November 15 the second con> munity concert will be held in the New Ulm High School Auditorium at 8:1:). William Wnrfie1d, Negro baritone, vill be the evening's performer. He is an artist who gives great care to each note and phrase.

His music is effortless.

Thanksgiving Can you imagine saying good-by 1 all your friends and relatives, nowing that you would never see tern again because you were taking ff for some distant and strange part .f the world.

For this trip you have .othing other than a few necessities, ,ut you have a dream.

You have a ream of starting a new life, a life in hich you will be able to worship our God in the way in which you now is right.

So, with the force of iis overwhelming desire. you leave ne life and go to seek a dream. :ut, you're not eVen sure whether or ot vou will reach your destination, nd ~o you pray.

Soon, mo~t of your aking moments are spent m prayer, nd finally, your prayers are answerd. You reach this strange world.

Because at last you have reached our destination, you are overjoyed; ou are thankful to your God, Soon, owever, you realize that to start a ompletely new life out of nothing is ext to impossible.

So. once more ou pray for guidance, strength, and rotection.

At times, the trials of etting up a new life are'so enormous hat you are ready to give up in depair, but gradually you begin to see hat once again your God has anwered your prayers, Your relationhip with the native inhahitants of his island becomes one of friendship, ,'ou manage to erect homes and helters.

You gather in your crops 'nd then you realize that your God ,as truly blessed you. Your dream ,as become a reality through the llcssings of your God, Therefore, you set aside a day. a lay of Thanksgiving. for you are ruly thankful to your God, Oh. yes, you say that this story is maginary.

But is it really? Is_n't his the way the first thanksglvmg 'ame about for the pilgrims?

Certainly it is unnecessary and illllo,sible td enumerate all the blessings "hich our God has bestowed upon us =hristians, All we need do is ponder Hlr lives for a short time to realize hat God has made our dreams a realtv for certainly we have the "one I;i~g needful" 'and for this we are 'ruly thankful.

But, is being thankul sufficient?

Our Religious Freedom

Why Read?

A few weeks ago St. Pall!'s Lutheran Church cclebrated its nunual mission festival.'

In the sermon during the morning, the H~\·. F. G. Ko .•ankc, Goodhue. Minncsotn. dclivered an address about the (;('rman mission of the Wisconsin Svnod. In it he related the beginnings of this German Mission Field.

He told of their needs today, espcciallv those of the mission congregations now behind the Berlin Wall in the Communist sector.

He related how t.h« Gcr'muns. beset bv one war after nnot lu-r, have had to fight very hard to rctu.in the Gospel.

He pointed out the difliculties of being a Christian in a land where the government has no interest in the Messiah.

Such is not the condition of' the Christians living in America today.

We live in a country where religious freedom is granted to all hy the Rill of Rights, in a land where man may worship the Lord without fear of being persecuted.

We <10 not hnve to fear a dictator who dod nol believe in the Lord.

We are not surrounded by a government which is constantly preaching against the true God. Instead we have a government which allows everyone of us to worship as he will.

We must use this gift of religious freedom.

It is only human nature to take for granted something which we have had for many years.

When we begin to take our religious freedoim for granted, we no longer appreciate this gift which God has bestowed upon us. If we do not appreciate it, God may take it from us.

We dare not lack zeal in showing our appreciation to the Lord's giving us this freedom by failing to attend church to hear the precious Gospel message which Luther again made known to the world during the Reformation 445 years ago. We know that the devil is constantly warring against the Christian Church.

We dnro not for one minute relax our guard against him. lIe would linYC us disregard the "assembling of ourselves together" each time we have an opportunity to hear God's WOI'(1. We will not go to church on Sunday morning bCCllU.';;(~ we hav(' to; we ,yill not attend chapd sef\'iec.. as a requirement, but. instead we will gladly, as Mary did. sit at .Teslls· f('et and listen to His messa.ge. W(' will not bc indifferent to the spreading of the Gospel but will in eYery way we can help to support the mission work.

We have an excellent opportlllllty to show our love for the Savior by gladly and willingly supporting t.he needs of our mission school in Cibecue, Arizona. by responding with our gifts to meet the goal which the Student Council has set.

Will we, who have religious freedom, disregard the benefits it brings to us? Will we turn a deaf ear to the pealing bells on Sunday morning calling us to worship Hilll who has saved us? Will we laek the 7-cal which the Lord expects of us to spread His Gospel to those who do not haye it? What will he our answer?

On ,Tudgment Da,' m"~' the Lord. who has given us pahicular talents. say unto us indiyidually: "W,,11 done thou good and faithful s('n'anl."

When found my husband trying to sew on a button, I told him th~ thimble wag on the wrong finger.

"Yes, I Imow," he answered. "It should be on yours!"

Francis Bacon once wrote, "Reading maketh a full man," but I am inclined to say that this matter of reading isn't. what it's cracked up to be. Take a look at early [man, for instance.

He got along just fine without one bit of Egyptian hieroglyphics, and neither did he have to trouble himself reading magazine advertisements or neon signs.

Then, look down the pages of history to the time of Abraham Lincoln.

Now there's a real scholar! He borrowed book after book and read by the flickering of candlelight.

What did it accomplish for him?-the problems of the presidency, difficulties of war, and a shot in the back.

But, you say, one can't get along in the world today without the accepted literate ability.

I contend, however, that this "pleading for reading" campaign is one big farce.

For one thing, a person doesn't even need reading to know how to get a good job.

Take me, for instance.

I have a good nose, and that got me a job selling perfume.

A View of New Ulm Let's look at New Ulrn.In the light of a blue and gold October day. Standing on top of the hill, we can look over the town and see the colorful trees lining every street.

The trees reign supreme in New Vim's uncluttered skyline. There are no skyscrapers to break the view; only church steeples raise their majestic heads. From every place on the campus, we can see Hermann holding his sword against all invaders.

New VIm is an old town; it is a quaint town. New Vim has features which are strictly its own. The bricks on Hermann Heights remind us of a thriving business in the past.

The Indian Monument tells of a battle representative of the struggle between the white man and Indianin all of America.

New Ulm's streets follow the hills God created, and the houses along them speak of years of joy and sorrow.

New Ulm's atmosphere of sound is very relaxing.

There are few blaring automobile horns and factory whistles; rather, the church bells sound the time and their invitations to worship.

As we look over the city, we notice that something is missing. Missing are automobile exhaust fumes and industrial odors. We can actually smell the clean autumn air tinged with the fragrance of burning leaves.

Let's look again at New U1m a few hours later. Now we see the lights spread out beneath UR. Prominent again are the church steeples.

The lights of Center Street form a bridge dividing the town.

Visitors from other church bodies and other educational institutions have often hf'pn heard commenting favorably on the setting for our school. It is indeed an ideal location.

Inquisitively Yours As you can see from the title of this column, We have chosen a new name which we hope you will like. Our thanks go to the person who originated the idea.

The question for this month is, "What can we do to improve our campus?"

Some of the varied suggestions follow: Louise Uttech: Plant more flowers.

Joe Lequia: Make every night a free night.

Vicki Jerdee: Less schoolwork.

Chuck Carmichael: More social events on and off campus.

Janice Kuhn: A new student union.

Bob Klug: More freedom for the college students.

Beverly Wolfgram: Grow some grass.

Robert Wolff: Extend the Nebraska conv£mtion.

Janice Weishahn: Have organized but noncompulsory student activity on Saturday nights.

Dave Sauer: Plant some grass between the boys' dorm and the music hall and put some spotlights in front of the boys' dorm, Mary Surges: Allow college students more freedom.

Boyd Krueger: No curfew on weekends.

Jo,an nicsmann: Add more boys.

Mike Williamson: Refurnish it in the style of the ancient Sumerians.

Rita Gantka: Improve the lawn situation.

Susan Schroeder: Common courtesy in the library.

In this age of television and bridge, who needs to read for entertainment?

Why, nowadays one can even hear the stories of Shakespeare On records; and there are enough speaking gadgets and talking tapes to replenish an entire library.

Why suffer through phonetics first?

Perhaps, though, you are one who likes to keep well-informed on current events.

Yes, the newspapers are your slaves. They print glaring headlines and the juicy society gossip. It seems to me, however, that the world is in such a "mess" that printing the news is a waste of time, You may be wondering how I got through school if I feel this way about reading.

Toy Soldiers That must be how it looks to Him As toy soldiers playing On cardboard hills.

Bang! Bang! go little guns Shooting tiny sparks of fire As thousands of the tiny figurines Advance, defend, retreat, Across pretend valleys and over paper ph-ins.

Like little tin soldiers They play their baby game.

Here is one side, there another.

I am a good man, he is bad.

Such a fanciful, Such a childish, flighty game So very, very much Like make-believe.

And only the blood is real.

New Faces on Music Faculty Professor lolte Professor Waldemar Nolte began his twenty-sixth year of teaching this fall as a music instructor at DMLC. He teaches music theory and conducts Treble Choir II and the high school choir.

Professor Nolte, a Lutheran pastor's son who grew up at Claremont, Minnesota, attended DMLC for high school and the three-year college program.

He finished college at Concordia College, River Forest, Illinois.

In 1951 he received his Master of Arts degree after working five summers at Northwestern -University School of Music at Evanston, Illinois.

Before accepting the call to DMLC, Professor Nolte taught at Fond du Lac, Cudahy, and Burlington in Wisconsin and at Mankato, Minnesota. He moved to Mobridge, South Dakota, where he taught music courses at Northwestern Lutheran Academy.

After four years there, Professor Nolte accepted a call to Winona, where he served until he was called to DMLC. Professor Nolte lives at 122 South Broadway, is married and has eight children.

Margaret is at West Town Mission in Waukesha, Wisconsin, Bill is at DMLC, and Jerome is attending Northwestern.

Mrs. Nolte is a part-time piano instructor at the College also.

In reference to hobbies, he stated, "Music has always been my hobby, and my ambition is to bring music home to the average Mr. and Miss College Student."

Letter-impression printing, philately, and tape recording are among his other hobbies.

Backer

"I wish there were more time to do everything I would like to do." . Although this statement could probably be made by other people here on campus, it is the particular comment of one of the members of the music faculty at DMLC. This person is Miss Ruth Backer, who is kept very busy giving organ and piano lessons to 45 students.

She also directs Treble Choir 1.

Miss Backer comes from Winona, Minnesota.

She graduated from DMLC last year, having completed three years. Since Miss Backer is working on her four-year degree, she attended the 1962 summer sessian here at DMLC. To help her complete her work, she is also taking a course this semester.

Miss

Ungrodt

Miss Judith Ungrodt, who is from Medford, Wisconsin, is our new high school and college piano teacher.

She attended Stevens Point State College, Stevens Point, Wisconsin, for four years, and then attended the Eastman School of Music, Rochester, New York, for a year. She holds a Bachelor of Music and Education Degree and she also holds a Master of Arts and Music Theory Degree.

This is her first position and she enjoys teaching at DMLC very much.

Miss HormlD Miss Mildred Horman has interrupted her studies at DMLC for one year to 'join the music staff as an organ teacher.

She has attended DMLC for three years. This summer she took additional organ lessons at summer school. Miss Norman also directs the Aeolian Chorus. Her home is We.t Salem, Wisconsin.

Bilitz Succeeds Stillwell

Firel Before October 23 came to an end, the girls at Centennial Hall ex perienced a night to remember Just that evening, at chapel, every one had been warned of an ap proachtng fire drill.

However something happened that causer Mrs. SieglPr to decide not to wai for the scheduled drill.

It all started about 11 :20 p.rr when a few of the girls noticed thsmell of smoke. When this did no' prove t.o be purely imaginative, t.hE'~ went to t oll Mrs. Siegler about it The smoke was found to be cominr from the electric dryer in the laun rlry room and was spreading through out t he building.

Because Mrs Siegler thought it to be caused b) an electric short, she called Mr Harris, the engineer, who came immediately to put out the fire.

Knowing that the building was not in danger, Mrs. Siegler then de-.. cided that this was a very good opportunity for a fire drill. At approximately 11:45 pm the alarm sounded and all left their warm rooms for the cold night air. Within a few minutes the girls were back inside the dormitory.

To most, except the few who knew the extent of the fire, the sight and smell of smoke made the experience one of uneasiness, even of fear; but once back inside the building, tension was relieved.

However, the night was not over yet, for no sooner had everyone returned to their rooms when two squad cars, followed by three fire trucks, came on the scene. Even though the fire had been extinguished, the smoke continued to fill the halls. The fire department was called to clear out the smoke so that no damage would be done to clothing and furniture.

Dr. Martin Luther College was now fully awakened, with a crowd gathering from the other dormitories. The rooms on courtside or Centennial were especiallv. crowded, with girls hanging out of every window. No one wanted to be left out of the excitement.

After the fire trucks left, Centennial quieted down for a somewhat shorter night's sleep.

The home of Dr. Kienzerle.

For eight or the ten months I was in Ulm, Germany, I stayed with a typical German family, the Kienzerles.

They were a family of five. Dr. Kienzerle was a dignified gentleman, connoisseur of the arts, and partner and manager of a wholesale paper firm, which he and his lather had built from scratch after the war. One could call Mrs. Kienzerle the "motherly type," always busy with the household. and- the children. Ina, the oldest daughter, sixteen, attended the equivalent of our high school and junior college, the gymnasium.

She is in her seventh year and hopes to go into nurse's training next year. Because she enjoyed the theatre very much, she and I often attended.

Florian, the twelve-year old son, was in the second year ct the gymnasium and had subjects such as physics, Latta, English, chemistry, plus the subjects which our twelve-year-olds usually have. Hanna, the youngest, three, was a d?rling little girl from whom I learned the dialect of the area, Schwabish.

Family life in Germany is quite different from ours. It is more reg-

ulated, and more disciplined.

The father was the king, and the family life revolved around him. When "Vati schlaf t" (Father slept) everyone was quiet.

Since there usually was school only in the morning, we spent the afternoon, or at least three or four hours of it, studying.

The evenings were usually spent together with all of us reading or something.

Guests in the evening were very rare.

The Kienzerles, being rather wealthy, owned their own horne and lived in it alone. It was a large, old house, three stories high. It had a kitchen, tiny compared to ours, a large sunny dining room, study, living room and large hall on the ground floor. The second floor had three bedrooms and a bath, and the third floor had two bedrooms and storage area.

The yard wee beautUu\\y kept._ It had a fountain and pond. On one side of the house, Mrs. Kienzerle had a lovely rose garden.

Besides having a beautiful array of flowers, they also had apple, pear, and plum trees.

Zohar, Tonda, and Matisse in rehearsal.

The one act play, "The Wall," is scheduled for Friday evening, November 16, at 9:00 p.m. in the College auditorium.

The impelling drama hy Verne Powers promises to he very entertaining and suspenseful!

When asked about the play, the director, Holland Menk, stated, "It cortninly is a challenge and T am drnined each time rehearsal is ended because of the play's intensity."

ITI"' added, "Seeing your own ideas being projected on stage indeed gives milch satisfaction."

Carol 1\ohl, who plays the girl, Matisse, comments, "It's diITerent from any part I've ever played. It presents a challenge. I find the characters very interesting."

Bill Habermann, who plays the leading male role bf Zohar, described the play in this manner: "It is the most emotional and gripping play in which I have ever been."

Rosemary Belter, as Tonda, says, "I like my part extremely well because it has great depth."

She added, flI certainly enjoy working \vith the cast. All are working hard to make it a success."

Recently named to play the role of Ryl{(), the sailor, was Arnold Nommf'nspn.

At 2:00 p.m. the ladies were entertained by a program in the auditorium.

Bill Habermann was Master of Ceremonies.

Dan Schmeling, student body president, gave the welcome address in which he pointed out the need of the Ladies' Auxiliary. He also complimented them on their fine work. Student life at DMLC was described to the assembly by Elaine Tullberg and Rolland Menk. College Choir I, under the direction of Professor M. Zahn, rendered the sacred selections, "Dearest Lord J esus, 0 Why Dost Thou Tarry" and "A Hymn of Glory Let Us Sing." The Choir later ended the program with selections from "The Sound of Music."

Three original piano compositions were played by Ken Jeske and "Whistle a Happy Tune" and "Thumbalina" were sung by the junior girls' sextet.

After the program, the ladies reconvened.

New officers were announced and presented.

The new president is Mrs. Clarence Wendt, Sleepy Eye, Recond vice-president, Mrs. Harvey Enter, Nicollet, and secretary, Mrs. Gordon Ballman, North Mankato.

Officers who arc holdovers until next year are Mrs. H. Cluever, Jordan, ~rst vice-president and Mrs. E. A. Seifert, Marshall, treasurer.

A prayer by Rev. H. Hempel, Hutchinson, a member of the ColIl"'geboan], concludNi th(' meeting.

Centennial Hall's new matron is Mrs. Vera Siegler. Mrs. ---Siegler carne to New VIm from Boyd, Minnesota, where her late husband, the Rev. V. J. Siegler, served as pastor.

Many of the duties involved in being a dormitory matron are not exactly new to Mrs. Siegler, since she has four children of her own.

Her son, Paul, is studying for the ministry in Mequon, Wisconsin.

Clarice, a former teacher, now lives in Milwaukee.

One of the twins, Judy, is teaching in Delano, Minnesota, while her sister Janice is rru tried and living in Wisconsin.

Mrs. Siegler likes Dr. Martin Luther College and New Ulm very much, Aside from her regular duties, she is an avid sports enthusiast, and loves to watch football and baseball games on TV. She is eagerly waiting for the basketball season to begin on the hill, so she can see the games "live."

When asked what it is like to watch over 159 girls, Mrs. Siegler said, liThe job has many rewards: There is certainl~' a nice group of girls here-·one, very big happy family."

Though rather unwilling to state any real pet peeve, she did admit that her biggest ditliculty was not to get the fuchses to go to bed, but, surprisingly, trying to keep College girls from exerting so much energy, especially after 10:30 p.m.

Pep Parade With the beginning of sports activities on the\campus we again hear the sounds of the cheering fans. But who is leading these cheers? Who is the backbone of the cheering section which means so much to those who are playing?

In most schools it is an organized pep club; however, during the past

few years our campus has not had such an active organization which might lead 'the others.

Who is at fault in not having such an active organization?

Is it those who have been active members but have not received any support from the rest of the student body?

No, rather it is the student body which has, shown such an apathy that those who have tried to instill some school spirit and real team support at our games have eventuaBy given up their efforts.

This is the time for all good students to come to the aid of their teams.

And this aid can best be given through active member-

ship in the high school and college rep clubs on our campus.

These organizations are set up for the sole purpose of creating enthusiasm at our sports activities and thereby instilling a greater arrount of school spirit in each and every one of us. It is time that we all show an active interest in the pep clubs and actively s~pport all of their efforts. It is only through active, organized groups such as these that real support can be given our teen-s as they go into action.

As the teams go through the season, they must play games at home and away; and one of the main reasons for the teams having better records at home than away is the support given to them by the students.

In the pest, however, there have been times when the visiting schools have cheered louder than we have, even though they are smaller in number.

This should not be! Let's back our teams.

Team Begins Workouts College basketball practice began Thursday, October 18. Much to the surprise of Coach Waters, there was a large turnout of eighteen college men for the first practice. Seventeen are still practicing.

Coach lost little time putting the future team through its paces. Between calisthenics and inner squad practice, the fellows find little opportunity for rest. Anyone who has observed the players dragging themselves to supper each evening can understand how grueling the workouts must be. Yet, when we see the team come from practice, thoroughly exhausted, we can be confident that they are working hard to represent the College to the best of their abilities.

Season in Review The DMLC soccer team compiled a record of 2 wins, 1 loss, and 1 tie during the season just ended. They handed Bethany 2 losses: the first 7-4, and the second game, played on October 13, by a score of 5-2.

The Hi1ltoppers' points were scored

by Kuehn (2), Brassow (I), Zoellner (I), and Pelsl (1).

Pillsbury of Owatonna and DMLC battled to a 1-1 tie here on the hill October 6. Kuehn scored the Hilltoppers' lone tally.

Traveling to Owatonna October 20, Pillsbury handed DMLC its only loss of the season, 3-1. The Hilltoppers only score was made by Bob Kuehn.

The Knights scored 3 touchdowns in the first 6)1 minutes of play and from then on coasted to an easy victory.

Luther did not come alive until late in the first half when the Rams marched 83 yards down the field for a TD. Included in this drive was a 31~yard scamper by Jack Gronholz and two pass completions from Hempel to Hackbarth.

Gronholz went the final 6 yards for the touchdown.

The other TD for the Rams came on a 45-yard pass from Jim Tjernagel to Jack Gronholz on a fake punt formation early in the final period.

Statistics showed Luther gaining 159 yards hy rushing and 85 yards by passing.

Luther's Rams scored twice in the last 7 minutes of play to tie a strong Comfrey team 13-13, Wednesday, October 24. Luther's touchdowns resulted af'ter Luther had recovered a Comfrey fumble and had blocked a punt. Fritz Hackbarth scored the TD's.

Gronholz scored the extra point.

Comfrey scored on two pass interceptions in the last two minutes of the first he If. Leading the Luther defense was Gene Cook.

Professor Bruce R. Backer of ~he Dr. Martin Luther College Music Faculty presented an all J. S.

A 2-manual organ, it has 16 stops and 18 ranks with a total of 982 pipes. It is a "atraight" organ, that is, no two stop keys make use of the same row of pipes (with one exception).

This year's Christmas concert has been set for December 18 and 20 at 8 p.m, in the College auditorium.

As a prelude before the service, the band will play Christmas selections.

The program will follow the order pf a Christmas Eve service. The processiom I is "Dh Come, All Ye Faithful."

An address will be delivered by President Schweppe and the "Christmas Story" by Professor Fritz Reuter will be presented by the choirs.

Professor Reuter, who was head of the music department at DMLC from 1907 to 1924, wrote the "Christmas Story" especially for presentation by the DMLC choirs.

Three choirs will be placed on the stage of the auditorium so that shifting of different choirs may be eliminated.

These three choirs (College I and II and High School I) will present the bulk of the program.

Treble I and II will present one number and all choirs will join in the singing of Christmas carols.

Perhaps the best known selection, "The Hallelujah Chorus," will be presented as the highlight of the evening by these three choirs.

The public is invited to attend the service which will last approximately an hour and a half.

Class Play Chosen "New Fires," written by Burdett, is the play selected to be presented this year by the Dr. Martin Luther High School seniors.

Faculty directress is Miss Krook, and Professor Jaster is the faculty director.

Glen Bode is the student director.

The play will be presented the latter part of March.

Casting will begin the first week in December.

The Bethesda Lutheran Home is the Student Council project for the months of November and December. This will take the place of the usual Christmas offering taken just before the Christmas recess.

On the Tuesday afternoon and evening immediately' preceding the Synod convention at DMLC, the Northwestern Publishing House sponsored a conference ott Christian literature.

Active in planning the workshop were Pastor Siegfried Fenske, Mr. Herbert Schaefer, Pastor Werner Franzmann, and other members of the board of The N orthwestern Publishing House.

Pastor Franzmann gave the inspirational address.

A special service at which the student body can learn more about Bethesda is set for December 13 at 7:00. Speaker will be Mr. Fred Nieno, a former New Ulmite and business manager of Bethesda.

Committee members are Charlene K uta, Louise Uttech, Carol Zwieg, Carol Kohl, Robert Wolff, Casey Bauer, Willard Engel, Bonnie Weindorf, Mona Boenecke, and Phil Hempet , Chairman is Rolland Monk.

Anderson Lauded For Brilliant Performance Mr. Ames Anderson, organ instructor at Dr. Martin Luther College, presented an organ recital on Sunday, Decemhar 2, 1962, at 3:30 and 8:00 p.m. en the Casavant organ in the Music Center.

This rendition featured three chorale prdudes and "Trio Sonata V in ,~.. by J. S. Bach. After a brief intermis&ion, Mr. Anderson performed "Fantasy and Fugue on B-A-C-H, Op. 46" by Max Reger.

Editorials Why don't more people read cdit orials? It matters not in which paper the editorials mav be. the New York Times, or the 'DMLC Messenger.

Ninety-nine percent of the people avoid them as they do t 1", bubonic plague.

I often hear the argument that they are boring.

Are they actually boring in themselves. or is it iust that we arc uninformed about the subjects of which they speak' To say they are boring you may be displaying one's ignorance of current events.

Nearly all of us (with the exception of the College seniors. who, of course, read their Newsweek IaithIully) should probably spend a little more time each day reading the front page of the newspaper and a Iittle less time reading the comic section.

What Lil' Abner docs will not affect our life tomorrow: but what Nikita Khrushchev docs, just may.

Most of the people who oflcr the opinion that editorials are boring have either read none at all Or only one or two. To those who han read only one and found it boring, 1 rcplv, vr-s, perhaps vou did rend a boring one.

Is it lush, rolling campus and expensive landscaping? ; Is it even elegant dining-hall cuisine?

No one would be so foolish as to say that it is these factors which give a school its true character.

Isn't it the mental and emotional atmosphere rather than the physical plant which make a school what it is?

Isn't it the faculty-student rapport and the student-body comraderie which set the tone for school spirit' And. where can one find a school with greater cause for good spirit than ours? Our common faith, first of all, creates an indissoluble bona among us Secondly, our backgrounds are very 's:milar. Most of us arc natives of the upper Midwest, and as a rule, most of us find ourselves on the same· social level.

Shouldn't the fact that we attend the same school serve as a cohesive agent among all OUrstudents?

Shouldn't we naturally feel a.great school spirit since we have so much in common and shoudln't this spirit constantly shine?

It isn't something which we drag out and dust off merely for football or basketball games.

The two great occasians of the month that would encourage thankfulness in us are Thanksgiving and the end of the Church Year.

We can find a flowery definition of music in any dictionary such as this definition: "Music is a group of instrumental or vocal sounds having rhythm, melody, and harmony."

The professor, who has labored for many years in the subject of music, might define it as that which fills the heart and soul with life, making everything around it more beautiful.

Or the layman, uneducated in the field 01 music, might reler to it simply as "noise."

In our life, music has many functions.

It entertains us in various shapes and sizes at concerts, in parades, and on football fields.

It soothes us after tense and irritating days, . helping .us to forget what happened today and to look. Jihead. to tomorrow. Music disth' .. dullD.... the drabness, and the routine of life just as the sun enlivens an otherwise dreary autumn day.

Church music with its deep harmony and moving spirit, i~creases the meaning and solemnity of the service and accompanies the praises sung to our God. But music also serves another important purpose in the life of the world around us.

Inquisitively Yours

To the Editor: 320 S. Locust Apt. 314 Grand hland, Nebraska November 12, 1962 Editor 01 bMLC Messenger Mr. Rolland Menk: In yoUr Me •• enger of October 19, 1962,You have an article with the headline, "Band Takes to the Field."

The first line of this article reads, or rather states, that for the' first time in the school's history a marching band took shape. I want to correct this error. Before 1913 there wt:re a number of bands which played at athletic events.

One was under the leadership of Hugo Frey and at one time under the leadership of the former Director of DMLC Professor Ackerman.

From 1913 a band again was organized which gave band concerts at DMLC and also played as a marching band at athletic events.

Football was not r..llowed at that time, but baseball and basketball were. The last named band was under the able leadership of Professor Mosel. There also was a very good orchestra at DMLC during the time of Professor Reuter.

This orchestra gave many good concerts at Christmas time and also during the year. We also had military drill with the band playing.

No doubt some of the former things at DMLC atcended at that time. They were wonderful days. time and like to look at them at times.

We recently had copies of the Me~senger Grand Island and I enjoyed reading it.

who write the editorials' From a purely financial standpoint, consider how much money you throwaway every time you do not read an editorial that you paid for in the price of the newspaper!

This should especially appall you if you are a conscientious budget watcher.

Editorials are also food for thought.

How much ti me don't we waste each dav On meaningless small talk such as, "My, isn't it cold out today?"

"Yes, it certainly is. I suppose it will be snowing before long."

"Yes, it will.

That means we'll have to start wearing winter clothes pretty soon, I guess," and so on, endlessly.

Did either person say anything that the other person didn't already know?

Or do you suppose either-one of them actually cared what the ~eather was doing? After all, when it gets to be around the end of October, doesn't the weather usually become colder?

All this time the two people might have been sharpening their mental powers and supplementing each other's knowledge with some timely idea that onc or both of them had read in an editorial.

Let's get our heads out of the sand and into the newspa~e~s!

Because the Messenger is your paper, we thought you might have some suggestions for it~ improvement.

'With that in mind We pOlled some of the students \vho came up with these suggestions: Paula Swantz- I would like to see names below the articles to add interest.

DeLyte Dixon-It should have more opinions from the faculty.

Susan Haar- I think we should expand "Inquisitively Yours."

Marion Kruse-I would like to see more jokes.

Liz Albrecht~ We should have a "letters to the editor" column and also a monthly schedule of events in and around New VIm. Donna Windmeyer-It could have more scholarly articles.

Barb Biesman- We should include a "letters to the editor" column.

Tom Siegel~ Jt must be kept up to date.

Tom Schulz-It needs better articles.

Venita Schrupp--Jt lacks illustrated jokes.

Ardis Rodewald-We could use more pictures of student life.

Janice Kuhn---More pictures would add interest.

Negro Vocalist Enthralls Audience

Decisions in the Making

William Warfield's Latin words in song began softly, but steadily rose in volume and strength, filling. the public school auditorium with beautiful sounds of music. The evening was November 8; the event, this season's second Community Concert.

Tt Quickly became apparent that this man is truly a great vocal artist. One of the selections the audience particularly enjoyed was the Aria-LaCalennia from "Barber of Seville" by Rossini. Many of Warfield's musical talents were brought to light in this wonderful selection.

His mastery of the German language, brought out magnificently in the three selections from Robert Schumann's music, reveal that he is a very weJI educated man.

Mr. Warfield has been singing professionally for about twelve years. He has appeared in lmany

Coming Events

Special Convention Continued from Page 1 here. Another decision adopted as , result of the rift in the Confermce was that of holding separate levotions at Synodical Conference eonvention sessions. .

Other important issues were also liscussed during the three convencion days. The Lutheran Spiritual Welfare Commission Report was adopted. Two pastors are to be ~-tar futt '_time work· among nilitary personnel in the Washing.on, D.C., and El Paso, Texas, areas, Thirty pastors were also isked to serve, on a part-time basis nembers of the armed forces sta.ioned In the vicinity of their con~egations.

Our Synod also offered to act as host to the overseas theologians in fellowship with us, who plan to continue the discussion of church doctrine and church fellowship begun this summer at Mequon, Wisconsin. Finally, the Synod denied requests for academies in the Nebraska and Arizona-California districts at this time because of the expansion of educational facilities in the Midwest.

As a result ot the special convention, which adjourned on Friday evening, the students of DMLC enjoyed an extended November recess from November 3-11.

Male Fashion

Meets With Approval

,

A new flare o! color and fashion has been added to !he DMLC campus.

Sixty-six college men have purchased new blazers and officially introduced tbem on Friday, November 2. Adorning the coats is an original crest designed by Bill Radke of the college freshman class. The crest itself has various meanings: the gold shows the richness of our salvation through Christ; the .red eagles symbolize the power and glory of Christ while the red itself signifies the blood shed for us; the ChiRho symbol in the center means Christ is the center of our life while the color white shows His purity. The crest as a whole was formed 'from research of other crests and ..... adopted to meet the require'menta of Bill's design.

All the blazers are navy blue in ·colorexcept those ordered hy Coach Jerry Waters and by Tutors Vilas .Glaeske and Don Fastenau.

Coach Waters' coat is an olive shade; the . tutors' are red.

Audience Tense

As Drama Unfolds On November 16, at 9:00 p.m., the Luther Literary League presented "The Wall," a one act drama

by Verne Powers. The play was under the direction or Rolland Menk.

This suspenseful drama takes place in an abstract setting of a wall on a hil] overlooking the harbor and fishing village of Aretto. The time is a night in the present century.

A man is condemned to die against the wall-to be executed by the invaders of Aretto because he will not reveal the plot against the foreign captain's li(~ .The condemned man does' not appear in the play, Rather, the action centers on the people affected by his imminent death.

The cast reaIisticaI1y portrayed these people with sensitivity and honesty and emotionally carried the audience with them on each line.

The cast of characters was as follows: Zohar--BiII Habermann, the man, aged, philosophic, venerated by the villagers; Tonda--Rosemary BeIter, the mother of the condemned. long-suffering and old; Mallor-c-Nelson. Zimmermann, of the invaders, a professional soldier, burly, blunt; Krawitz=-Frank Corona, an officious Iellow-soldier, brutal, without pity; Matisse Rotha-Carol Kohl, the girl, fearful, betrothed to the condemned; Ryko-Arnold Nommensen, the sailor from the 4IRed Gull," secretive, dangerous; Maylo Zetra-Tom Schulz, the crippled one, pale, sickly, pities only himself.

These committees contributed to the success of "The Wall." They were-c-staging: Ellen Albrecht, Tom Siegel, Ricky Garcia, Robert Wolff, and Dan Southard; lighting and sound effects: Bill Nolte, Roland Helmreich, Bill Helrnreich, Mary Braun, and Elsa Backer; publicity: Liz Albrecht and Eunice Schulz: and make-up: Janet Kuhn' and Ann Raufmann.

Messenger Moves ;

The Messenger has a new home.

During the past week, the editors of the paper have been moving the Messenger equipment from its old home in the basement of Centennial to its new home which is located on the second floor of Old Main. This new room, which was formerly occupied by Mr. Zimmermann, will be used exclusively by the Messenger staff. It includes space for a file containing all the paper's past issues and a file containing all the old cuts. The new room has many advantages over the old one and should make the production of the paper easier and more efficient.

Phlogistons Organized Twenty science enthusiasts, both high school and college, became members of the newly-formed Science Club at their organizational meeting some time ago.

The aims and objectives set up by the club are to learn by their projects to appreciate more fully the. wonders ..!ll...God'&.!'reatio.n._t~. form a scientific fellowship among interested students of DMLC, and to establish a library of term papers from science fair projects.

Other objectives of the club are to awaken the college students and the community to the wonders of science, to present methods of teaching science in the elementary schools and to establish an annual science fair. Tentative plans are to hold the fair this spring.

Professor Swantz, a member of the science department, is serving as faculty advisor for the club.

Paul Willems has been elected president; Dave Sauer, vice-president; and Roland Helmreich, secretarytreasurer.

Glen Bode is serving as librarian.

The club meets twice a month in a room on the second floor of Old Main.

All of the science work and projects are done by the students during their free time. Dues for the club are $1.50 for the semester.

Time Out As the basketball seasons begin, it might be well for all of us-c-both high school and college students-to resolve to conduct OUfselves in a manner befitting the children of God. There may be times when we do not agree with the decisions of the officials or the' conduct of the opposing team, but it is not for us to voice this disapproval.

A better solution to this would be to cheer louder for our team so that they may be encouraged to rise to the occasion and overcome the difficulties.

This conduct should also carryover to the intramural competition.

Webster defines aportsmanship as follows: "The conduct becoming a sportsman, involving honest rivalry and graceful acceptance of results."

A13students of Dr. Martin Luther College and children of God, we might amend this definition to read: "The conduct becoming a . Christian sportsman, 'involved in honest rivalry, which will show the fruits of his faith."

The latter type of conduct has not always been present at all of our sports events in the past and has caused offense to some as a tesult.

Is this the type of "light" which we nhould let shine before all men? Does this conduct show forth the glory of God and .His influence upon our lives?

VS. St. Paul Bible College On Thursday, November 29, the Luther cagers traveled to st. Paul for their first away-game of the season against St. Paul Bible College.

The visiting team had the height advantage, for one of the few times this season, but were unable to "bring home the bacon" as they lost 80-77.

Aft.r a poor first half, which found them tr,iling 44-35 at the intermission, the Hilltoppers tried to catch up with the home team. Although they were able to tie the score several times during the sec-

and half, they were unable to hold on to the lead. As the home team stalled the final minutes, the Luther men were forced to press, committing numerous fouls. Duane Brassow, Dave Pelal, and Jerry Zoellner went out of the game because of fouls in the last three minutes.

Olson of St. Paul Bible College led the scoring for the evening with 22 points.

DMLC had a balanced attack with Jim Zahn leading with 14, followed by Bob Kuehn, Brassow, and Boyd Tech with 12, 11, and 10 points, respectively.

:with its speed and aggressiveness may overcome its shortcomings in the rebound department.

Coach Waters is hoping to use speed to great advantage in the Iast break and, also, in a pressing defense. He is 'planning to institute a two-platoon system which has been developed with the aid of Ken Nolte, who is assisting with the coaching chores this year. The coaching st~ff hopes that these factors will overcome the disadvantage in height but does not expect to achieve more than a .500 record this year: From observing the team in practice, we can assure the fans one thing: there will never be a dull moment on the basketball court this season. The team looks very aggressive and seems to have the spirit and determination which will carry it to successes which its height disadvantage would not otherwise permit it to reach.

The Student Union has opened under the direction of its officers: John Juern, president; Jerry Zoellner, vice-president; Nancy Kind, treasurer; and Janice Kuhn, secretary. These people, together with other students, and the generous help of Mr. Bilitz, have worked very hard and long to make the Student Union an inviting place to spend those hours when study is forgotten (or a while. Previous to opening day, the rooms were painted, the ,furniture and drapes cleaned, and better lighting installed.

Further improvements are always being made. To keep the Union clean and in best condition, all members are asked to serve at one time or another on cleaning committees Friday afternoons.

Games are the. thing at DMLC's Student Union ana a wide variety has been acquired.

Ping-pong, mo. nopoly, chess, earrom, Chinese checkers, fascination, and "bowling" are some of them.

For those who just like to relax, there 'is ample opportunity to spend an evening watching TV.

Proclaim Messiah's Day "Proclaim Messiah's Day" was the theme of the 1962 Christmas decorations at DMLC. The College freshmen, sophomores, and juniors cooperated in carrying out this theme which helped bring the spirit of Christmas to DMLC. College freshmen were responsible for decorating the campus itself. A scroll inscribed with the theme was placed near the college entrance.

A nativity scene graced the entrance of the Administration Building.

Centennial Circle displayed wise men and shepherds.

A Christmas tree, visible for some distance, was placed on the Music Center.

College sophomores decorated the halls of the Administration Building.

Carolers, choir-loft singers, angels, and notes of familiar carols decked the halls, effectively carrying out the theme.

College juniors made use of the abstract to carry the theme into the auditorium.

Attention was focused toward two angel heralds on either side of the front of the auditorium.

The background effect was that of a modern church. There were three symbols on the left side of the auditorium.

One represented the world for whom Christ came. A crown was used to symbolize Christ as the King of Kings, and the Messianic Rose represented fulfillment of God's promise of a Savior. An open Bible with the ChiRho (Greek symbol for Christ) was placed on the right side.

It symbolized the Bible as the means whereby Messiah's name is being proclaimed to the world.

No one has to worry about using too much energy over a good game because the Student Union is wellequipped to feed a hungry crowd ..

Besides candy, ice cream, malts, sundaes, and pop, hot dogs and ham burgers are sold.

Membership at present totals about 130 students, but more are urged to join. Everyone is eligible for membership and can obtain a Student Union card from any of the officers. Hurry to get your card for good times and good food.

After the special convention of the Wisconsin Ev. Lutheran Synod, held at 'Dr. Martin Luther College on "November 7-9, 1962, had adopted several resolutions which continued and emphasized DMLC's position in the educational program of the Synod, the faculty with the approval of the DMLC B~rd of Control organized four executive committees to plan and carry out the various phases of work required by such resolutions.

This entire project has been named "Venture of Trust."

One of these four committees has been assigned the task of. bringing to completion the self-study program assigned to the faculty by the Board of Education of the WELS. Professor Arthur J. Schulz, a member of the Education Department, has been named chairman of this committee.

In order that he may devote full time to this work, he has been relieved of all classes for the remainder of the school year.

Until the end 0.( the first semester Professor Gilbert Fischer replaces Professor Schulz as morning supervisor in the fifth and SIxth grade room of St. Paul's Ev. Lutheran Practice School. The supervision of the afternoon classes has been taken over by Professor George Heckmann, who will supervise the fifth and sixth grade room on a full-time basis in the second semester. Both of these men are members of the Education Department.

Other members of Professor Schulz's committee are Professors - H. Birkholz, J. Oldfield, and H. Sitz. At present this committee is engaged in assembling and organizing the materials which have already been compiled. The chairman will guide the work which must yet be done so that the self-study can be completed later in this present school year.

A second committee has been called' the Building Planning Committee.

Professor R. Hoenecke is the chairman.

Since the Synod resolved that Dr. Martin Luther College should become a college only with a minimum enrollment of 500 and that the high school department should be separated from the college department, this committee must restudy all building plans and revise them in accordance with these new resolutions.

Several meetings have already been held with the architect.

Since the present campus is to be developed to take care of the college department alone and the col..... lege. and high school departments are to be separated, a third committee has been assigned the_ work of reorganizing these two ,departments. This cornmittee'a. general chairman is Professor Bnte Backer. .A sub-committee, concerned with the high school only, is headed by Professor Martin Schroeder.

All phases of the educational program, including one for secondary education, are receiving careful study.

This committee will work in close co-ordination with two standing committees of the faculty. These are the curriculum committee, whose chairman is Professor V. Voecks, and the committee on the practice school, which is headed by Professor Erich Sievert.

Realizing that the expansion of the college department to meet the needs for teachers in our elementary school system will require a larger collegiate student body, He t.JCl .... } has also established a recruitment committee.' Its chairman is ProfesContinued on page 4

and churcln-s become aglow with the decor of the holiday season. There is hardly any place in the United States where decorations are not a part of the Christmas celebration.

Across city streets garlands of greens interspersed with beautiful colored lights brighten the cold, clean air as they dance merrily to the syncopated rhythm of the wind. Bright colored balls and garlands of tinsel liven th<i appearance of store windows, IlS well as an- occasional Santa, mechanically waving to the passersby.

From every home a lighted wreath, candle, or Christmas tree purveys the mood of the Yuletide.

Think of your own home at Christmas. Is your mantel decked with evergreen boughs, colored balls, and candles? Are there wreaths in your windows and is there a star on the top of your Christmas tree? May be a poinsettia or other centerpieces grace your table? (~ili('s.

ÂťLnrc-s,

Let us not forget our campus at Christmas.

Look at the Messianic Rose, and the angels heralding our Savior's birth, the many Christmas trees, the choir loft where the singers are chanting praises to our newborn King,. the Wise Men as they follow the star to Bethlehem, and the shepherds as they watch their flock by night.

All these things have become a part of Christmas.

But do they mean anything to us? Christmas decorations have become so commonplace that we are concerned mainly with their beauty and the Christmas "spirit" into which we say they put us.

For us as Christians, there must be a much' deeper meaning of the decorations we use at this time of year.

The evergreen is a symbol of our Savior, who is from everlasting to everlasting, the many Christmas lights point to Christ as the Light of the World, and the star atop the Christmas tree 'is to bring us to the manger where We are to worship and bring treasures to our new-born King. Let us, too, not look at our decorations here on campus and pass judgment as to whether we like them or not, but rea.lize their real meaning of "Proclaiming Messiah's Day."

Yuletide Symbols The Evergreen which huvo lu-como nlmrwt world-wide in t.hoir Chrh.;LlllHs UNt', ('HIllI' into their own as decorations Irrun prc-Chrlst.tun times. In those countries in which they are not used they are symbols of deatb and mourning; in other countries they are forbidden by the church because they were used in early pagan festivals.

J';Vl'ql;r(,pnH,

The evergreen tree's use can be traced back to early Roman times. The first record of its use as a meaningful decoration was in 1605. The German people tell a story about Martin Luther's starting the custom. He put candles on the tree to represent the bril~ liant stars told about in the Christmas story.

There are many beautiful stories told about the evergreen tree. One is that the always green tree represents the everlasting Christ.

Another is that the tree points upward to heaven. l The use of the evergreen as a symbol of Christmas spread quickly through Europe and crossed the seas to America. At Christmas it can be seen in almost every home, and has become known as the Christmas tree.

The Poinsettia Among the many decorations used at Christmastime, the poinsettia flower is often featured.

Why should this particular fto";'er of many other red flowers remind us of Christmas?

Is it really only a Christmas flower?

The poinsettia is native to Central America and Mexico, where it grows in shady and damp areas. Its scientific name is Poinsettia pulcherrima.

Dr. Poinsett of Charleston, South Carolina, introduced the plant in the United States. Its height varies from three to six feet, In its native habitat, its height may even surpass six feet.

This plant has small yellow terminal flowers which are surrounded by brilliant red bracts. These bracts may vary in color from pink to white. Most people mistakenly believe that these bracts are the petals, when, in reality, they are a part of the foliage.

The red foliage, coupled with the dark green leaves, makes the plant desirable for ueefn Christmas decorations.

This Christmas, and every Christmas, let our decorations remind us of the real meaning of Christmas.

Then we will be in the real spirit of this holv season. We, as Christians can certaiuh- use these seemingly secular decorations, hut never can they overshadow the real meaning, the rejoicing in our Savior's birth.

A Little Of Something Most people would agree that "a little of something is better than nothing." This strange )deology also contends that variety is the core of life. Some read a few articles on dlsarmssment or some other major issue, and already they are experts on the subject.

Or they read a few poems or stories from each of many authors, and they are ready to be biographers of all. They never go very deep into a subject, and, as a result, never accomplish too much except a confusing variety.

Alexander Pope once wrote II A little learning is a dangerous thing."

Why? Just as one cannot know the context or plot of a book by merely reading the first. and last pages, so neither can one accurately or faithfully pass an opinion on a subject upon which he has only touched. Depth in knowledge is important.

One should not be content to read just a little about someone or something. His interest should go deeper-into the life line of knowledge, In other words, it is wiser for one to .becoms an expert in some field and know about what he is talking. some field and know what he is talking about.

Tonight

The True Christmas

Love Love A word so sweet, so perfect soft Formed and spoken a sharp, sweet sword To pierce and wound The mellow giving, Rarest longing Of a kindred heart.

Love Alone it stands as nothing Another makes it live: Warm and joyful In its own way, Sad, From where it 'comes Who knows but God? Love An emotion, some declare.

An illusion, others would Have us believe.

I could not wholly say What it is.

I only know I love, And therein am I enlightened.

I looked all around me this holiday season To find the true Christmas.

I fiearched the faces, The laughter and gaiety Of every passing stranger.

T oxplotcd t.ho st rr-ct s and stores To find nnthing.

l Iunring the laugh tor of children I paused to listen: Santa was coming, But that was all.

I watched parents, grandparents, aunts, and uncles Shopping for Christmas treats and mistletoe.

Still that was all.

I spied a tiny manger within a shining store window.

I smiled at last; "For here," I thought, "was Christmas."

But like the chipping paint On the clay Infant Jesus, This too was just veneer.

Once more I walked' the snowy streets, Now quiet with twilight; Warmth, laughter, wine, mirth, Poured from every lighted room.

Wine glasses touched, spirits soared.

This was their Christmas.

Then, at last, I passed A white, frame church; its windows shone Between the falling snowflakes.

And from its throat emerged Bright organ chords and joyous Christmas song.

Silently, slowly I stepped beyond its doors, Afraid to breathe, lest I Might mar this precious peace.

Through the inner doors I gazed Upon the faces of children, young and old, Singing the Christmas story.

Long moments passed in perfect Christmas bliss.

The voices of these children Held my heart in perfect peace.

There upon their faces and within their eyes, I saw the hope, the- joy', The perfect peace and trusting faithWhich only children have.

This was the one true Christmas.

-Eunice

Joseph knocked tonight, On the huge old door he pounded, Seeking shelter for quiet Mary, Seeking a place to lay the baby, The fair, the avoet., the miraculous baby That would be born tonight.

Joseph called tonight, But no one heard his cry.

The laughter within was tinkly and bright, The shouting and music were all a great dinThey could not let the family in.

They would not see the baby.

Joseph begged tonight, Begged for a room in the stately home.

But the tinsel and tree and ornaments, The packages, the children's cries Stopped their ears and dimmed their eyes.

Who saw the two in the cold?

Joseph found a manger tonight, A poor little humble home.

With no Christmas cheer to welcome them, No sparkly tree, no store-bought toysJust a family of ragged girls and boys.

And they smiled at Joseph and Mary.

Joseph was happy tonight, Happy for Mary and little Jesus.

And happier still were the kindlier folks Who on this dark night offered a stall, God gave them the lovliest gift of ah-eThey saw the Saviour born!

Inquisitively Yours Every year at Christmas time _all of us look forward to giving and receiving gifts.

In spite of the fact that most gifts are chosen wisely and are quite sensible, nearly all of us have been quite surprised at receiving something rather impractical, shall we say?

That's why our question for this month is this: What is the funniest thing that you ever received for Christmas?

Mary Funk: I never got anything funny for Christmas, but we used to get a small piece of bubble gum wrapped in a big box of newspaper, a thing which was very aggravating.

Bob Kuehn: Even though I don't have that kind of pet, one year I got some fish food and turtle food.

Ardis Rodewald: Once I asked for a doll that wore a snowsuit, but I got a doll and a snowsuit instead.

Barb Weyland: In my junior year in high school, some person who had my name gave me a pacifier.

Jean Stevens: Last year I got a funny doll with no hair.

Marie Frank: A baby bottle.

A eline Weiss: Tooth powder for false teeth.

Arlene Fandrey: Not long ago I received red butterflies for my hair, one of which I may have worn once. Oh, yes, and one year someone gave me an assignment book.

N elson Zimmermann: One year I got an extension shoe horn that's usually used by a fat person.

Mar y Surges: Once I received a ..great big white handkerchief with a picture of Elvis Presley on it.

Lois Seefeldt: My seventh grade teacher who had my name gave me six or seven tencent Almond Joys.

Janet Kracht: A carrot ring made, with real carrots.

Dee Cook: Someone gave me a model car.

How about it? Have any of you received gifts as different as these? If not, you'd better open your gifts carefully. It may be your turn this year.

My Christmas In Germany

Book Review The Hidden Persuaders

By Vance Packard The Hidden, Persuaders was ritten as a warning to the Amerim people. It is concerned with a ethod of advertising called Motiational Research or MR. MR is 'led by practically every advert isIg agency in the United States toay. The agencies no longer deend on guesses as to what the pube will buy. Now the advertiser .akes "depth probes."

By these robea, he is able to determine just ow the consumer will react to a ,rtain advertiJment.

MR is based lastly on peY~hology of the masses. ; is not,~ haphazard, half-baked

been working ever since the middle '40's.

The consumer is exploited every day by MR-based advertisements.

He responds readily because the commercial is designed to attract the consumer subconsciously.

The reaction of the average middleclass shopper is one of complete willing"

ness.

But MR is not only used in merchandising; it is also widely used by political parties. In 1952, the Republican Party recognized the power of MR and incorporated tbe method into political usage. The Democratic Party did not catch on so Quickly and lost out in many ways.

• The one thing that WAS prevalent in the 1952 campaign was the "image" of the candidates.

Voters at that time needed a president who was the protective father type.

(According to MR researchers, anyway.) Eisenhower's "image" was projected as just that.

Mr. Stevenson did not have the fatherly Qualities that his opponents were pushing into the minds of the voters.

Mr. Eisenhower's MR researchers were the best in their field, and they lived up to their reputation.

The company that handled the Republican account drilled the American public on' Ike's "father image."

They used his television appearance to project Mr. Eisenhower's personality rather than the issues. The same was true in 1956, only more so, since MR had advanced during the intervening years. The presidential race was no longer party against party but personality against

Hide Your Gold 'Cause Here We Come On Tuesday evening, November 27, tbe LLL held its monthly entertainment.

The entertainment committee, under the leadership of Barbara Miller, did a pantomime concerning pirates. Barbara Miller was the narrator.

Dennis Schultz portrayed the head pirate and his followers were Judy Bohlmann, Sharon Mussfeldt, Rosie Radue, and Dee Muth. Dave Waege was the witch doctor and the natives of the island were portrayed

by Ardis Rodewald, Rita Gantka, and Charlene Kutz.

personality.

This change of attitude had been greatly aided by Motivational REsearch.

The more common use of MR today is in merchandising.

The researchers guide the shopper constantly, manipulating them as the merchant wishes. The object is to sell and to sell consistently.

Many examples of how MR works were illustrated by Mr. Packard.

A few of them were more outstanding than the rest. For instance, back in the early '50's when there was a big cancer scare about smoking, MR moved in to induce smokers back to cigarettes. Many people had Quit smoking altogether because of the cancer reports. Researchers had to develop more "gentle" images for cigarettes. By the use of filter tips and by skilled image building, the cigarette sales began to rise in 1955.

MR overcame the fears of the consumers and put the tobacco industry back in business.

Another example would be what "supermarket trance."

MR researchers discovered that most women become completely oblivious of the world the minute they enter the supermarket.

At the grocery store, the woman reigns and she likes it. Advertisers decided that the only way for a product to gain the shopper's attention was to package the product in such a manner as to attract her quickly. One way was to put the product in bright, pleasing colors. The most appealing color turned out to be red. The housewife is at the mercy of the advertising agencies.

I cal1 the

Mter these two examples, one ran see the tremendous power of persuasion that is behind MR. Mr. Packard feels that the manipulating of the people can lead to many serious defects. He raises a question of morality in his closing chapter and leaves it to the reader to decide. Do the MR researchers have the right to mold minds as they are capable of doing? The researchers can manipulate easily because they know the secrets of the consumers' inner thoughts and motives. But will it lead to more than that? It already has. It has moved into c.'1mpaigning, where candidates' personalities are sold to the public.

This was even more prevalent in the 1960 presidential elections. Is it not possible, then, that MR could govern our political, moral, and religious beliefs someday?

allowed inside. Fiol1ftorJ{,e kitchen comes the smell of good things baking.

On the afternoon of Christmas Eve, everything being prepared, the whole family might go for a walk downtown, or preferably in the snowy woods. Upon returning the father goes into the living room and a short time later, the rest of the family is called. There, in all its glory, stands a beautiful tree, aglow with real candles and decorated witb lovely ornaments.

Gifts are then exchanged and supper is eaten.

After supper the K ienzerles and I visited the grandparents and at 11 p.m. Ina, Ruth (a friend of hers) and I went to Christmas services at tbe Muenser Cathedral.

It was a joint German-American service; the songs were sung in German and English simultaneously and the sermon was given in both languages.

To me, the remarkable thing was the fact that at this service there were mostly Amertcans.

Almost all of the German people were older.

This almost complete lack of the true meaning of Christmas was a constant bother to me; _unhappily, .this religious apathy is dominant throughout Germany. .

Walking home, I noticed that on every window sill there were candles -burning. Upon asking, I was told that these candles symbolized that the people of West Germany, in this happy season, were thinking of their less fortunate countrymen in East Germany.

And now, may I close with a Christmas wish for you in the way that the Germans would say it: Ich wuensche euch allen froehHehe W",ihnachten und ein gutes Neues Jahr which means "I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a good New Year."

(Reprinted

from The Forensic) -Bette

During my stay in Germany, 1 had the privilege of observing many of their Christmas customs. The Christmas celebration in Germany begins with the lighting of the first candle on the Adventkranz, or Advent's wreath. This is a wreath of greens with four candles, and on each Advent Sunday another candle is lit. This tradition goes far back into the history of Germany, and originally, as each candle was lit, a prophetic Bibl e verse was read. ~oday, however, this practice has been given up by many and only the lighting of the candles remains.

Almost overnight the store windows become a fairyland of Christmas toys and gifts.

On December 6, if you would go for a walk around six o'clock or so, you'd probably meet any number of people with long white beards, fur coats, and hats, carrying a sack, a bundle of twigs, and a book, for this is St. Nicholas Day. Every year, he visits each child, calling on them to answer for their shortcomings and to exact a promise of better behavior in the next year. After the promise is given, he presents each child with a bag of nuts, fruit, and candy.

Especially naughty children he stuffs in his sack and carries away. To Catholic families a St. Nicholas in the guise of a bishop, makes the visit.

About two weeks before Christmas on the square in front of the cathedral, the Weihnac:htsmesse, or Christmas carnival, appears.

There are all the carnival rides, but most irrteresting are the stalls where the farmers and craft.smen sell their wares.

Beautiful wood carvings, woolens, and tree decorations are sold, and many of the dealers wear traditional folk costumes.

In the home an air of mystery prevails. The living room is closed and locked. Only the parents are

DMLC lost its third consecutive game of the season to Pillsbury Baptist College of Owatonna 73-57.

A busload of students followed the Luther team to Owatonna to cheer them on to victory but were unable to lift the team's spirits high enough for them to win. Pillsbury pulled away to a commanding 14-point lead in the first half at as-24. The Luther men tried hard but were unable to overcome this lead during t he rl'm;\ln;n~ :20 minutes.

High scorers for the evening were Creamer and Rector of Pillsbury with 22 and 19 points, respectively.

Plight Of Intramural Athletics What has happened to our intramural athletic program?

This sad question was brought to my at-

stop with basketball.

This puat fall witnessed the poorest participation, in years, in the women's intramural softball league.

If this is the case, I think that it is about time we re-evaluate our schedule so that we take time for physical exercise. It is a trite expression that we should develop "sound minds in sound bodies" but, nevertheless, it is very true.

The athletic department has worked hard, and soon will be joined by the newly-formed college lettermen's club, to give us a comprehensive intramural program. It is very discouraging to work diligently preparing something for others and then to have one's work disregarded by those for whom one labored.

Lest we lose this intramural program, let us make use of it and support it at every opportunit.y.

Operetta Dates Set

March ;2 and 3 are the dates set for the Luther Literary League's production- of Ruddigore according to an announcement made by the directors and directresses.

Ruddigore, also known as The Witch's Curse is a two act musical written by Gilbert and Sullivan, The authors turn their attention to the foibles of mankind.

An early baronet, Sir Rupert by name, had a witch burned at the stake. As she was dying she turned upon him cursing him and all his line, saying that they must commit. at least one crime a day. If they failed to do this, they would die of unspeakable agony.

Dame Hannah, played by Elaine Tullberg, narrates this legend to the chorus of Professional Bridesmaids.

In this group there are two who will be next in line to be married if Rose Rehearsing for the coming operetta are Rose Maybud (Norma Maybud ever gets married.

Another semester of work has begun-another semester bringing us closer to that day in which we shall stand before those to whom we have been called to transmit our culture, especially that most important part, the Word of God. As we embark upon this new semester, we also begin that longest part of the school year during which we. W!lI have no. r~cess until Easter.

This IS a most difficult time for all of us; for, after the various autumn activities and the many 'winter activities centering around Christmas preparations.' we m~st now settle into a comparatively quiet and uninteresting routine caused in p.art bv the inclement weather prompting u; to remain indoors as much as possible and also by the relatively few ~ctivities planned for this time of the year. This situation may cause us to become rather bored and probably also emotionally tense. It may pl.ace a strain upon everyone of. us ~hICh, if not relieved, may even. give rise to flaring tempers or other kinds ,?f em,?tiona I releases. We can avoId. t.hlS problem first of all by recogmzmg that it may arise. Secondly, we can relieve the strain on ourselves, our dormmates and our classmates by showing considerarion for each other in everything we think, do or say.

Also, we may avoid. lapsing !nto a dead routine by takmg part m the activities not to the neglect ot our studies, 'however, which have b~en here on campus to provide need. Finally, only love and other' will

Do you know that when you give a valentine to someone, you might, in a way, really be commemorating a Catholic saint's day?

The name Saint Valentine is given to three different martyrs whose feast. day falls on February 14.

One Saint Valentine was a Roman priest and doctor who was beheaded about A. D. 269. The second was a. bishop who was believed to have been beheaded in Rome about A. D. 273. The third wag a litt.lc knov n martyr in Africa.

Before you become worried about what you, perhaps, have been doing for most of your life on Valent.ina's Day, however , let me ease your mind with what follows. Ac-

cordingto the authority of World Book Encyclopedia,the customs of Saint Valentine's Day have no connection with the lives 01 these saints, except, perhaps that the fourteenth is their feast day.

There are several different explanations for

the customs of sending cards of greeting and love tokens on Valentine's Day. All of them. however, are probably inaccurate.

The one which seems most plausible to those who

have explored the matter, however, is that Valentine's Day is a survival of a February 15 Roman Festival.

O~ this day every year it was the custom to draw lots to decide which young men and women should be each other's valentine for the 'coming year.

(Sounds exciting, does-

n't it? Maybe they did this because they just COUldn'tdecide which one to choose otherwise!?)Then, after winning each other,. the couples would exchange gifts, and some-

times they even became engaged.

Another interesting

fact about Valentine's

Day is that the custom of giving valentines ~~~dg~~,sG~:a~h~sri~:i~.iS~~~, ~~~m::o~~rk~:~: it is celebrated in this way annually by near-

This autbar will·next cite from Harold Diehl, M.D., Dean of Medical Scienceat the University of Minnesota, to illustrate the beneficial effects of exercise on the body:

('The most obvious effect of regular exercise on the body is an incnase in muscular development. Soft, flabby muscles become hard and firm. This improves personal appearance, increases Sl reng1h and endurance, and enables one to enjoy physical activities. The rate and force of the heartbeat are increased, breathing becomes deeper and more rapid, and heat production and perspiration are increased ....

The energy to support exercise is derived from oxidation (burning) of food subs+ances, largely carbohydrates and fats.

This results in an improved appetite and increased elimination."

By an improved appetite one might falsely conclude that one would eat more, and therefore, add more

body weight.

College I Our class would like to bid farewell to those classmates who left us at the end of the semester.

Marian Anderson accepted an emergency call to teach grades one through four at our Christian Day School in Hutchinson, Minnesota.

Mike Williamson has transferred to Benton '1 Harbor Community College, Benton Harbor, Michigan, where he is now attending classes. Bill Radke is now studying to be a draftsman and Lloyd Essmann was unable to return for the second semester for personal reasons,

College II On January 11 the college sophomores held a reception for the human torso which was presented to the hiology department of DMLC. The committee did a good job of supplementing the menu with realistie" favors to eat. Whipped Jello "lungs" looked very authentic, but who was the person who thought to serve - green grapes as "green eyeballs"?

Second semester is here! Everyone shall soon see how his reading comprehension and memorization capabilities will be taxed. The second year class will have to be on their toes, though.

Some professors clearly remember those who sleep in class.

Corps in Operation The Speakers Corps was organized by the Student Council this year to provide student speakers to speak about Dr. Martin Luther College.

Although, in the past, many students have been requested to speak to church organizations about DMLC, this is the first organized attempt to provide a group from which these speakers may be taken.

The Speakers Corps is being headed by Jim Fenske' under the auspices of Professor Brick and the Faculty Recruitment Committee.

Because of the need for accurate and extensive knowledge of DMLC, the Speakers Corps is presently composed of college students in the junior and senior classes. Membership has been entirely on a volunteer basis because of the loss of school and study time.

Numerous speaking engagements have already been undertaken, with a number of these engagements also requirmg an entertaining group.

The first trip was made to Morgan, Minnesota, to speak at a meeting of the church's young people.

Since then, groups have been sent to Redwood Falls, Hancock, Echo, and Danube, Minnesota.

There are several more extensive trips planned for the coming weeks, to Wisconsin and Michigan, where the Corps will speak at the various synod and area Lutheran high schools.

It is hoped that through the efforts of the Speakers Corps more people will come in contact with and learn more about Dr. Martin Luther College. Through this contact with DMLC it is hoped that more young people will be moved to enter the teaching ministry.

A Look at the Luther High School Cagers

Under Coach Harold Kaiser the Rams have once again enjoyed tremendous success during the 1962-63 basketball season. At this time, we would like to introduce the players, position by posit.len, who have contributed to this success

"It's a Man's World" On Monday evening, January 28, the LLL entertainment committee, under the leadership of Carol Kohl, presented a humorous sketch portraying a man's TV program, entitled "It's a Man's World."

John Juern aptly portrayed the congenial announcer and Joan Mellon was in charge of the laugh cards. A bongo solo was rendered by a beatnik (Carolyn Schmidt) who just happened to be sitting in the audience!

Pierre, the Frenchman, portrayed

by Carol Kohl, gave a sneak preview of the men's new fashions.

An interesting talk on the great winter sport ot ice fishing was given by that great expert, J. F. Frostbite himself (Doris Gross). Betty Lenius, our sportscaster, interviewed that great all-American basketball player, Milt the Stilt, 1ilho was port.rayed by Liz Siegler. Since every TV program has commercials, this program could be no exception as was shown by Elaine Plath, the sponsor.

The program lived up to its theme: "This is a man's world."

Burglary About $40 worth of checks was taken from the DMLC library late Sunday evening or early Monday morning.

Entrance was gained by breaking a glass in the front door of the Administration Building and by carefully removing a pane of glass from the library door.

Concert Pianist to be Featured February 24 Ivan Davis will be the featured artist at. the next Community Concert in the New Ulm High School Auditorium.

He will present an afternoon of piano music on Sunday, February 24, at 3 p.m.

Mr. Davis reached the high point of his musical career when he won the Franz Liszt Competition in New York's Town Hall in 1960. Born in Texas, his musical instruction began at twelve. Later he studied at North Texas State College and at Rome's Accademia di Santa Celicia, Mr. Davis received many awards in Europe.

He entered and won the Casella Competition in Naples, and the Busoni Competition at Bolzano, Italy.

In the United States he appeared with such orchestras as t he Boston Pops, the Baltimore Symphony, and the New York Philharmonic.

He has also appeared on national teleVISIon programs.

His recordings are on the Columbia label.

Ivan Davis' solo recitals have taken him across the United States.

Now at thirty-one, he enjoys standing ovations wherever he plays.

Many critics agree that Mr. Davis is one of America's most important young pianists.

Co_Captains: Dale Walz and Jim Tjernagel. Manager: Carl Eisenman.

FORWARDS Jim Tjernagel Jim has proved to be one of the steadiest players on the Ram team.

Though one of the shortest players on this year's squad, Jim has continued to rebound and score well from his forward position.

As cocaptain. he has teamed with Dale Walz to give the Rams the leadership which is necessary for success.

Louis .Sievert, Max and John Tjernagel.

Radloff,

CENTERS John Tjernagel Although he never gained the stature of a starter, John, who is a native of New Ulm, is playing his. final season as a Ram. During the past four seasons he has helped the Rams to victory in many games.

This year he has rebounded and scored well when called to replace one of the starters.

It is substitutes such as John who have given the Rams the depth necessary to become consistent winners.

Max Radloff Max has" improved tremendously since he first played basketball for Lut her in hi' sophomore year. The native of Highbridge, Wisconsin, is expected to continue his improvement and play an important role in the (ortunes of the Rams this year and next.

Louis Sievert Louis has impressed all with his determined rebounding and playing during the season. As center, Louis is expected to play an important role in the general play of the Rams and he has fulfilled this demand consistently.

The Luther team will miss him next year as this is Louis' final year o( play.

Bob Schroer Bob, who comes from Blomkest, Minnesota, has one of the higher shooting percentages- en _-the- -Ram team. Bob has delivered a consistently fine performance as a starter in his first year on the "A" team.

Much of the credit for the Ram's success must be given to his fine rebounding and shooting.

Jim Duehlmeier Although not a starter, Jim has played an important role in the success of the Rams. In his final season of play, Jim has consistently helped the team when called off the bench. Jim is a native of Nicollet, Minnesota.

Bob Meier Bob hails from Whiteriver, Arizona, and came to DMLHS in his tenth grade. He has contributed valuable assistance to the Luther cause during the past two seasons and is expected to aid next year's Luther team.

Alan Jeffers Alan is another of the fine juniors found on this year's team who are expected to be the nucleus of next year's team. Al came to DMLHS from Bloomington, Minnesota, and has contributed much support to the Pam's cause thiR YPIU,

Standing: Alan Jeffers, Bob Meier. and Jim Duehlmeier.

Kneeling: Bob Schroer.

Quincy Wiley, Jack Gronholz, and Eugene Cook.

GUARDS Dale Walz Dale is in the 12th grade at DMLHS. He has played basketball here since his freshman year. A native of Fairfax, Minnesota, Dale is a co-captain of this year's Ram team and one of its leading scorers.

Eugene Cook Eugene hails from Rhinelander, Wisconsin.

An eleventh grader, Gene has also played basketball since his freshman year. As a sub-, stitute, Gene has contributed both moral and physical support to this year's success.

Jack Gronholz Jack is a native of New Ulm and has contributed bis talents to the Luther basketball teams since his freshman year at DMLHS. Now in his second year on the "A" team, although only in the 11th grade, Jack has proved to be a consistent scorer and a steadying influence on the Rams.

Qui~cy Wiley Quincy is a More recent arrival on the Luther campus than the other guards. Quincy came to DMLHS from the East .Fork Mission in Arizona in his sophomore year. He has impressed all with his driving play and promises to be a mainstay on next year's Ram team.

Has the Spirit

Music's Contribution to Sports The purpose of this article is to call attention to the contribution which the pep band has made this year. This contribution to the athletic events is often overlooked by the students.

To some, this might seem to be an unusual topic to be discussed in a sports column, but it has a definite place here because the pep band has a definite effect upon the spirit of the participants in an athletic contest as well as it has upon the spectators.

â&#x20AC;˘

What would our basketball or football gam .. be like if there would not be tbe stirring pre-game and halftime music of the band? Would We Ring the National Anthem as well without the band's accompaniment'?

It takes much extra time to prepare music which can be used for t.he entertainment of the fans at our athletic events. When we consider that the members of the pep band are also members of the concert band, we realize that they are devoting their own study time for our entertainment.

This time is no small matter when we think of the number of athlet-ic events at which they play during the year.

Although schools our size and larger have no band and consequently do not receive the advantages which we experience, we have an outstanding band which has shown its willingness to inconvenience itself for the enjoyment of ot hers.

What About You?

Rams Continue Win Streak Vs. St. Croix Lutheran DMLHS took their seventh game of the season from St. Croix Lutheran by a healthy margin of 4'1 points. The game, played here on January 11, showed the Rams to be the superior of the two teams.

The Rams went into the second half with a 53-25 lead. Bob Schroer led the scoring pace with 20 points, followed closely by Jack Gronholz who scored 17. The team showed themselves in good form with a 50 per cent average for the night.

Tbe Rams' B team won their contest by a margin of well over 20 points.

Vs. St. Paul Lutheran St. Paul Lutheran High found themselves on the losing end of the scorecard in their home game with the Luther Rams. The January 14 contest was the eighth straight victory for tbe Rams. Schroer, Gronholz, and Jim Tjernagel led the night's scoring for Luther with 18, 17, and 13 points respectively.

Our cheerleaders in maroon and gray urge team and students alike to greater effort. All set? Here are the girls who stand in front of us and behind our teams.

Representing the high school B team are tenth-graders Pat Lindemann, Ruth Schroeder, and Jane Ungrodt.

Pat is from New Dim, enjoys iceskating, and thinks high school is wonderful!

She feels tht.t students at a game should participate and help the tearr. fight.

Ruth is from Nicollet. Minnesota, and she just doesn't know what she does in her free time. In her opinion, school spirit is pretty low.

Jane comes from Rhinelander, Wisconsin.

Her spare time is consumed by sleeping and goofing off.

Jane thinks school spirit could be 030 much more.

This is the first year the three girls have .'!heered as a unit, and they found a lot of practice necessary at the beginning of the season.

You Bet! They all feel that grade school cheerleading experience is a great help to them.

A team cheerleaders are Sharon Rodewald, Ronda Dallmann, Janean Fahning, and Kathy Albrecht.

Sharon is a high school junior from Gibbon, Minnesota.

This if: her second year cheering for the Rams, and she enjoys it very much.

Sewing and outdoor sports occupy her spare time.

Ronda who is a junior lives in New VIm. She has been cheering since she was in sixth grade, and she says she wouldn't know what to do if she couldn't cheer anymore.

Ronda finds that school and its activities allow her little free time, but she enjoys knitting.

Janean is a senior from Cleveland, Minnesota, and has been a cheerleader since grade school. She feels that school spirit has greatly improved since the football season, but that there's a lot to be desired.

Janean claims she simply hasn't any free time.

She has been leading cheers for three years. She tells us that. the ch~~~p.aders practice three to four hours a week on cheers.

All the actions are entirely the work of the four girls, who work them in to fit our school.

Leading cheers for the Lancers are Sharon Huebner, Sandy Toepel, Elaine Plath, Liz Siegler, and Joyce Nitschke.

Sharon is a sophomore from Rhinelander, Wisconsin.

This will he her sixth year as a cheerleader.

Sharon would like to see the students support the team, winning or losing. She feels that when the team isn't doing so well it needs encouragement more than ever.

Sandy is also a sophomore, and she comes to DMLC from Saginaw, Michigan.

The girls practice an average of two to three hours a week, and most of their cheers are found when they go home on vacations.

They make up all the motions. and work them in with the new cheers.

Considering the effort that goes into each cheer and multiplying that by the number of different cheers per game. twelve Or more, will give one a vague idea of the work our cheerleaders go through each season.

Lancers Meet Rochester J C The Luther Lancers traveled to Rochester, Minnesota, January 19, after taking their examinations for the first semester. Apparently tho intensive studying had weakened the Lancers because they fell before the home team.

Rochester pulled away to an immediate lead which lengthened to 51-32 by the end of the first half.

Rochester was led by Mike Mertz who scored 20 points in the first half.

Although Rochester cooled off during the second period, the Lancers were unable to produce an effective offensive to overtake them.

The final score was 85-60. It was Luther's ninth straight defeat of the season ..

Bethany JG On January 23, Bethany JC of Mankato invaded the DMLC campus. This was the first time that the Luther men had seen the Vikings under their new coach, Bruno Wilinski.

The Lancers started fast and held several leads during the first 10 minutes of play, The superior height and depth of the Bethany five eventually wore the Lancers down and gave Bethany a 53-32 lead at half time. Jerald Binder, the leading scorer, in the SMJCC, was instrumental in Bethany's offense, as he scored 18 points.

During the second half, Bethany's height enabled them to continue to dominate the backboards and Luther fell further behind.

Richard Hobbs. second leading scorer in conference play, led Bethany during the second half with 13 points.

The final score was 101-77.

Although the Lancers were far out-scored, they were not out-hustled as they showed spirited determination to win, even in the face of overwhelming odds.: c_ 'The ',l.,a;lCt!ts had four men who scored in double figures: Dave Pelzl and Jerry Zoellner with 12 points, and Boyd Tech and Ed Schnitker with 11 and 10, respectively.

SPBC The DMLC Lancers lost a thriller to St. Paul Bible College, 70-67 on the home floor Saturday, January 26. For one of the few times this season, the Lancers were not at a height disadvantage, but they wereunable to overcome the torrid first half pace of the men from St. Paul.

SPBC jumped to a 38-29 first half lead, largely on the basis of their accurate shooting over the Lancers' zone defense. The Luther five fought hard, hoping to gain their first win of the season, but were unable to contain the visitors.

In tbe second half, Luther switched to a man-for-man defense which held St. Paul's scoring in check and enabled Lutber to go ahead with slightly more than one minute remaining in the game. However. the visitors would not give up and squeezed through with the victory.

The world of adventure is still with us. This time the adventurers are looking into space for their excitement. One of the most intrepid of 20th century adventurers is Jim Lambert who will speak to the student body here on March 19, 1963, at 8 p.m. in DMLC Auditorium.

His lecture-demonstration is titled "Man in Space" and with his talk about the wonders of space flight, he'll show the models and scale demonstrators of the space flight story.

Jim Lambert's objective is to -"ake the workings of Project MercUry and the space program, in general, clear and understandable to everyone in every audience. To accomplish this he uses not only his considerable skill as a lecturer. but among other things, a 30·inch rocket. His visual aids include thousands of dollars worth of working" models from the original Earth Satellites Show plus new and ever changing materials to bring the lecture up-to-the-minute, He talks about gravity, the first satellites, the history of flight from Kittyhawk to the X-15, and the first rocket explosion centuries ago in China.

Lambert himself is a modern embodiment of the spirit of adventure, He jeeped 8,000 miles into Yucatan because the Inca Indians interested Choir if!;ready for presentation of church year in song. him enough for a lecture already popular in many parts of the counPlace try.

Only Small

A Trip To Calvary

"It is only a small college, yet there are those that love it." These are the words of Daniel Webster, spoken in defense of a small eastern school at Hanover, New Hampshire.

The significance of Easter Sundav is known the world over. Some consider this day merely the culmination of an intricate fantasy woven around the man who is called Jesus Christ.

The blessed truths of this day of triumph have been revealed to us through Scripture and we accept thrm with joyful hearts.

May we, however, view this day as an isolated occasion? Shouldn't we rather think of this day as the climax to a life of sacrifice, to a plan of love conceived from eternity.

To understand and truly appreciate • the hlessings of Easter, we must realize the significance of the weeks that prepede, The term Lent is probably derived from the Anglo-Saxon word for Spring, lencten, meaning the time when the days lengthen.

The first day of Lent is that which is known as Ash Wednesday.

This term is derived from the medieval custom of penitent worshippers coming to the c1,lUrehon this day, barefooted and' in sackcloth.

As they completed their prayers, these penitents threw ashes over their heads, ashes made from palm branches bless"J for them on the previous Sunday.

On this day we enter" upon a season of intense preparation for Easter," Through our baptism we were buried with Christ into death, and as Christ was raised up from the dead, so we also arc to walk in newness of life, Our aim in Lent, therefore, shall be that when our Lord and Savior is raised on Easter morn, He shall find His children prepared to enter into newness of life with Him. We might think that now commen~es a prolonged period of gloom, that a dark, saddening cloud hovers over the Church, but not so! The first three Sundays in Lent convey a feeling of victory and the fourtb a spirit of great joy, This first Sunday in Lent is known as Inl]ocal]it which means .. be shall call" and refers to the· Christian's plea to his Lord for aid.

Christ's triumph over' the wiles of Satan in the wilderness, the Gospel for this day, foretells the final, crushing blow dealt the devil when Cbrist burst til<' bonds of the tomb on Easter morning, Our Lord was tempted for us men and for our salvation.

He was tempted that we "might not lack an example to inform us nor an assurance of sympathy to encourage us and of sufficient grace to give us the victory," The second Sunday in Lent is RE. miniscere. Tbe penitent sinner cries on this day to his Lord to remember bim with His mercies and to deliver the sinner from the bonds of his oppressors, We are reminded on tbis d",y of our ungodly ways, but WE ask our God to forgive and forget. Joy is found in the fact that through the work of Christ, our sins are absolved.

The name of the third Sunday in Lent, Oculi, is derived from the first woro of the Latin Introit which JnC'ans "eyes," This name was deri ved from a special ceremony in which catechumens were carefully scrutinized concerning the things in which they had been instructed, Then followed a ceremony of exorcism in which the devil was cast from those who soon through the rite of confirmation would renew and reaffirm their baptism, These catechumens were exhorted to walk as the children of light and to turn their eyes toward the Lqrd. As these catechumens, being fO\lnd ready, go on to further instruction, so we at this time announce o.ur decision to continue with the Lord. __ The fourth Sund~y 'in Lent is of all Lenten Sundays the most joyfuL The Gospel tells us that the Passover of the early Church 'was at hand, and the Church, with Easter rapidly ap-

When the adjeffl::ive "small" is attached to something, it raises eyebrows or becomes buried in insignificance.

The opposite is just as true, for when our part ner in conversation

tells us simply, proudly that he bears the standards of the "U of M," we ask no further questions, for just the name tells us all we need to know.

What can be said of our small college? It is smaH-that we well know. But: t here are many advantages in its size that. t hore cannot be in a larger, impersonal school. Professors call on us by name and greet. us in t he halls.

In a larger university, professors st nrc over their spectacle frames at students whose names they will never know. There professors correct an examination routinely, little caring whose name is on it; while in a smaller school like ours, professors make an effort to know us outside of class as well as from exams.

Can you imagine walking across a large campus meeting many Iollow student s a."!you pass, but knowing none of t.hem? Here we can learn to know the people on our campus, and we are free to make last ing friendships.

Here we know each other well enough to exchange a "Happy Birthday" now and then, to grieve with each other in times of sickness or death, or to' smile and say "Hello" as we meet.

There is no shame in being small as we may sometimes feel, but there is a great responsibiJity.

For being small in number means that we must work even harder to

It is generally agreed that most modern fiction today is worth neither the paper on which it is printed, nor the time consumed in reading it. Not only do "strait-laced preachers" deplore it, but even leading national mngnzincs have taken up the cry. I have recently read reviews in which the books were labeled "a colossal bore," "a bucket of filth," and in One case, the author's sanity Was called into question.

The modern novelist is completely hored with life, discouraged, with living in general.

Count less times I have seen the idea that absolutely nothing is left, only erupt inesa.

Even sin is no longer a diversion.

Let us give you an actual example.

The plot of one of a collection of short stories, recently released, tells of a group of suburban housewives who hold a contest for one year to see who can produce the fattest husband.

At the end of the year the group gathers in one place and a committee weighs each hushand. The woman whose husband has reached the greatest girth is declared winner, and for a celebration the women kill the "prize" and prepare him for a feast. This is not an

America's Favorite Sport When one thinks of spring, he naturally thinks of sports. Usually t he first sport. that. comes to mind is baseball. One hears all sorts of thinus about this popular sport , but rarely how it originated.

Ahner Doubleday, its Iounder, is remembered for l\VO things.

One is that it was he

who fired the first Union shot that began the Civil War. The other is that it was he who drew the plans that began the game we know as baseball. \Vhen he was twenty years old, he received an appointment to West. Point.

Here he proposed changes in the English games "town ball" and "rounders," which hrought about. the game we know as baseball. The year was 18:.19. In that year Doubleday is credited with having designed the diamond-shaped field, ninety feet on each side, assigning players to definite positions, and establishing the first rules for playing the game.

In 1845 the first baseball team was organized. The Knickerbocker Baseball Club of New York drafted rules and changed the number of players Irom. eleven to nine. In

1846 a rival club defeated the Knickerbockers.

Finally, a word to those who 'may not be giftf'd and may by now be excusing themselves from any effort at improvement: there is a job for you also. I am here assuming that all of you are United States citizens.

Among your rights is freedom of speech.

How often do you make use of this privilege?

Here is what you can do to help the cause: simply write a few letters to publishers expressing your views on the literature of to-

day. The reason that it is still being produced while so many condemn it is that some

still buy and read it.' If more people would complain to the publishers, they would in . turn demand a better quality of writing from the authors.

Do not say that your one or two letters will not help. Remember the straw that broke the camel's back!

As Christians we should be concerned about every sign of spiritual decay; and not merely concerned, but active. Let us show what it means to be the "salt of' the earth."

News From The Classes College I In our class meeting last week, he College freshman class chose the airy tale concerning the three pigs .s the theme for our entry to the now carnival which, weather peroitting, should be held in the near uture.

Since we are making a study of he solar system in physical science, he first section of the class has been rssigned the task of making a scale nodel of the heavenly bodies. This nodel, which will be completed for he Science Fair, will extend the enire length of the upper hall in the Id Building.

It should impress upm IUS the great vastness of the solar .ystem in which we live.

College II "Where Have . All the Novels Jone?" seems to be the theme song -eflecting the sentiments of th'e Colege sophomores this semester. Have IOU also noticed that the American Literature section of the reserve shelf is quite depleted at times?

Three cheers for anyone who has 110re than five novels read by now!

Graduates, members of the clergy, cheerleaders, and bride dolls have -ecently been produced in the art room. It is amazing what can be ione with a used flash bulb, newspapers, and a fired imagination.

We all know that the professors at DMLC are noted for their bril!iance in many different fields of subject matter.

It is an established fact that one of our professors has worked so diligently that he has arrived at a constructive way to alleviate the possible fall and consequential destruction of the Leaning Tower of Pisa. We are indebted to him for his achievement, for the sake of tourists traveling to Italy and for an interesting class period.

Our class topped· all the others tbiS8eaSon in the field of girls' in'; tramural basketball games. The "Nimble Nine," together with their captain, Joyce Nitschke, and able coaches, Plath and Jacobs, clinched the championship.

The runner-up team called the "Rosies," was headed by Rose Belter. We commend them far their interest in intramurals, This area of extra-curricular activities seems to have lost the appeal it once had. Only three teams were formed this year. Those who did take part hope there will be many more participating next year.

They also wish to thank the sophomore men who volunteered to referee the games this season.

College III Three of our classmates have accepted emergency calls: Brigitte Kolm accepted a call to Jefferson, Wisconsin, where she is the third-grade teacher.

We chose a theme from the fairy tale Rap.nul.

It was also decided to raise class dues from $2 to $3 per year.

College IV Our class has been so busy lately that we really have not had time to do anything!

Practice teaching and operetta practice have combined to keep us occupied.

One of our members, Ann Raufmann, is temporarily teaching in Kenosha, Wisconsin.

She will return before Easter when Joyce Schochenmaier will take her place.

Congratulations to our College IV athletes! On February 27 their team won the City League Championship, defeating the City Teach,rs by a score of 57-54.

Plaudits Given Ruddig ore Luther Literary League presented Gilbert and Sullivan's operetta, Ruddigore, in the College auditorium, at 8 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, March 2 and 3, 1963.

The story of The Witch's Curse was well received by those who saw it. While the smaller Saturday evening audience gave favorable comments concerning the production, the Sunday evening audience, which was larger, was much more responsive and seemed to catch Gilbert's humor more readily.

This operetta was sung and enacted under the careful direction of Marley Zahn and Ron Shilling, student directress and director, respectively.

Miss F. Krock was the dramatic advisor and Professor Bruce Backer served as faculty advisor.

The precision of the two pianists, Sharon Biesmann and Beverly Grimm, in the Overture, Gavotte and Hornpipe was amazing.

The entire score was well done.

A very effective and dramatic scene was the coming to life or the ancestors from their picture frames.

The lighting helped ;0 create the needed atmosphere for the setting.

The range of the soloists and the brilliance of the high notes held the attention of the audience.

The soloists': diction was usually good; and the various combinations of soloists did well in staying together.

Generally, there was a good blend.

The choruses and scenery did much to make the production colorful.

The two successful performances, after months of hard work supplemented by the help of many committee members, were concluded with a party in the dining haH 'for the east, choruse~ and committees '.

Folk Singers End Series On Monday, March 25, 1963, at 8:30 p.m, the Robert de Cormier Folk Singers will be featured in the last Community Concert at the New Ulm High School Auditorium.

This group, which is comprised of twelve singers and tht ee instrumentalists, is one of the most successful choruses to appear in the United States in years.

For the past two seasons Mr. De Cormier arranged and conducted the highly successful Belafonte Folksingers who completed two sold-out tours of over ninety concerts.

De Cormier embodies unusual and theatrical elements in unique arrangements of folk songs from all over the world.

Seniors Vie For Scholarships Lois Luetke, Ruth Heckmann, Janean Fahning, Debera Fitch, and Carl Eisenman, all DMLC seniors, are taking part in the local "Speak for a Scholarship Contest," sponsored by KNUJ radio station, Joe Keckeiscn Investments, Loan Corporation, and the C. & C. Alignment Service.

These programs are taped and are heard at. 4:15 in the afternoon.

These five seniors were chosen in a preliminary test held here at school in which nine interested sen ion; participated.

Ruth will speak on March 19, Janean will speak on April 3, and Debbie on April 19.

Lois spoke on February 5 and Carl spoke on March 5.

This contest involves five seniors from each of twenty high schools in and near New Ulm. One senior from each school will be chosen for final judging. By the end of May the judges will have selected the winner. This winner will receive a $500 scholarship to any college of ._1!i~_j~hC)i~· __Th_e~inner'l!. school ~ll receive a tape recording machine.

The purpose of this radio program is to give "students an opportunity to do public speaking.

The show includes a brief report of school news and the playing of popular records.

Library Spotlighted DMLC's library had its beginning with the College in 1884 as a theological library.

In 1898, when the college became a teacher training institute, the library changed courses and began to emphasize education, as it does today.

Today our library holds some 15,000 volumes.

Approximately six hundred new books have been added in the past year alone. In addition to the books in the stacks on every imaginable topic, there are many sets of reference works in the library.

The reserve shelf behind the librarians' desk makes certain books available for the study of a whole class.

The periodicals are an important part of our library.

There are many different magazines to choose from, and, if there is research to be done, back issues of the magazines are available, some dating as far back as the 1940·s.

Recent. additions to the library are a new card catalog unit, a shelf list, and a microfilm projector. The new card unit has doubled the extent of the library's catalog system.

The shelf list is a complete file of every volume in the library, and is arranged by call numbers.

The microfilm projector is a small machine or Dutch import.

When tapes that are made of dilapidated or out-of-print books are fed into the machine, they are projected on white paper. As the reader turns a amaH eran\t -on-ube -projeetaT. ~ of the taped book pass before him.

These tapes will last indefinitely and take up comparatively little storage space. This projector will certainly prove to be of great assistance in reference work as more and more tapes are acquired.

Schlicker Organs Complete Furnishing of Music Center Almost all of the important/classical pipe bodies are represented among the eight organs in the Music Center. The two newest organs, products of the Schlicker Organ Company, Buffalo, New York, were installed recently in rooms 8 and 9 of the MURic Center.

The design of the Schlicker organs is quite similar to the Reuter organs in rooms 6 and 7, but they do not have a mixture on the second manual.

Instead they feature a reed stop. One organ has a Krummhorn and the other employs a Schalmey.

The Principal is the rank giving essential character to an ensemble. Because of the high percentage of tin (up to 7;;%) in the Principal rank, more brilliance it:) added to the ensemble.

The new organs are excellent examples of cIaRsic organ disposition.

The organs are under 2% inches wind pressure, compared to four inches or more on the organs in the Mmdc Hall. Br.cause of this, a mom natural, un forced tone is recpivrd from the pipe.

Almost. all instruction will be given on the ~tudio organs in rooms 6-9. Thesf', the Schlicker organs and Reutf'r organs, are somewhat larger than those on the opposite side of t he hall. Instruct.ors are enabled to teach their students how to regist-rate solos, backgrounds, and ensembles on each manual.

Mr. Schlicker, president of the company, has been instrumental in the renaissance of organ building now being carried on in the United Stat.es. The installation or our Schlicker organs was made by John Obermeyer, Minneapolis, district representative for the Schlicker Organ Company of New York, and his as-

sistant, John DeCamp.

The work was begun February 18 and was completed on March 1.

of the most advanced organ designing and construction is evidenced by the organs within this unit.

The new organs are part of the entire plan, now completed, designed

by Professor Paul Iiunjes, chairman of the music department at Concordia Teachers College, River Forest, Illinois. He was the consultant, and will be on the DMLC campus the beginning of April to make final inspection of the entire unit. Some

Now that the instruments for the Music Center have been installed in their entirety, the school should ever be thankful and show its appreciation, first, to the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod for its support in this endeavor, but far more important, to the Lord Himself for this most wonderful gift.

Saturday,

The Luther Rams reached their goal of an undefeated season by taking their last nine games.

The Rams played two of their tightest games of the season in a row when they met Prinsburg Christian and Sanborn.

Both of these games were won by a ninepoint margin, The Rams had a 53-51 lead going into the last six minutes of the Prinsburg game; but, with good team effort, t.hev pulled away to a final score of 62-53. Gronholz was high man in t he scoring column with 25 points, Schroer had 13, and Walz. 12.

In the past this program has been neglected by the students and allowed to degenerate in importance on our campus. This prog-ram is only useful to those of us who participate in it.

The program, as it has been set up, is geared to the interests of the majority of the students and therefore should have part icipat ion by the majority of the students.

In the past months, many have remarked about the lack of school spirit on our campus.

Where does this apathy begin? I believe that it begins with the lack of interest, on the part of the students, in the activities of DMLC. Th is disinterest will he best. alleviated, and school spirit aroused, when you and I take an nct.ivo, pnrticiputing interest in tho acr ivities on the campus.

Lancers End Season With Long-awaited Victory A Look At the Lancers

Schnitker and Dave Pingpl will not be eligible to play on the college

Throughout lhe season the DMLC Lancers were plagued by a combinalion of lack of height and ballcontrol problems. As the end of the season neared without a victory to its credit, it would have seemed natural for the team to lose confidence in itself and lose the winning desire which is so necessary in sports. The Luther men did neither of these, however, and came through \\'ith a victory in its final outing.

The final game meant the end of the basketball career for three members of the team. Dave Pelzl, Ed

Rams Go Undefeated

Time Oat - - The winter sports have been completed and our congratulations go to all the participating teams and their coaches for a season full of excitement and thrills.

Though the high school team has received most of the plaudits this season-all justly deserved-we must not forget the college and high school "B" teams who have worked just as hard and played equally as inspired and thrilling ball as has the high school (fA" team.

We need not spend our time rermniscmg over the thrills of by-gone games, however, for there are more thrills to come in the activities of the spring sports. This year the college \\-111participate in tennis, track, and baseball and the high school in baseball. track, and golf. These activities involve only a few, however, and require the majority of the student body to confine its physical activity to cheering for the participants.

To fill this need for a more varied program on our campus, the athletic department. has provided the students with an inclusive pro-

Dr. Fleischer cology. After serving as a professor of organ at the Leipzig Conserva~ tory, and at the same time being the organist at the University of Leipzig, Fleischer came to the United States in 1949. He served as professor at Valparaiso, organist at the University of Chicago and is at present the organist of the University of Minnesota.

During the school year, Dr. Fleischer teaches only organ, but during the summer, he teaches one course on the graduate level. The course he will teach this summer is the History of Organ Music.

at the Caasavant A record of German Organ Music was cut by Dr. Fleischer four years ago but has been sold out and is now out of print.

Dr. Fleischer played the organ recital at the fourth annual Bach Festival this winter. His next recital will be in Northrup Auditorium the evening of July 1.

Professor Bruce Backer, Mr. Ames Anderson, Miss Karen Emmett and Mr. Chris Kock have taken lessons from Dr. Fleischer.

This summer Misses Ruth Backer, .Tanet Griebling, and Mildred Horman will be among his students.

A wrap·up of the choir tour includes some statistics which might interest the student body as well as the choir members.

Choir I traveled a total of 2,800 miles through three states.

This area in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan covers five districts of our Synod. The greatest distance traveled in a single day was 460 mIles, from Plymouth, Michigan, to Juneau, Wisconsin.

This happened to be on Maundy Thursday.

The choir was also able to stop in Watertown that day and take short tours of Northwestern Colle.ge and Bethesda.

A total o! 14,226 people attended the choir perf.ormances.

The aver· age attendance per appearance was 528. These people contributed $6, 368.04. OJ this amount there will be a surplus of between $2500 and $3000 which will flow into the Memorial Organ Fund, swelling it to over $28,000.

The Homecoming Concert was held Sunday, Ap;il 28, at 8 p.m. in the College Auditorium.

Attendance was 725.

The Modern Procrustes Procrustes, of Greek mythology, was a bandit who insisted that all people must be his height.

He stretched those who were too short on a rack and amputated the legs of . anyone who was too tal1.

It is amazing that centuries later, modern society is a type of Procrustes.

To be sure, society does not insist on a certain height for its constituents, but rather insists on conformity.

The masses must conform to the fashions of the day, the trend in automobiles, the "hipness" of slang and colloquialisms, the swing in politics, whether it be liberalism or conservatism, the music of the present era, and even to man's way of' life, which is based on materialism and man's work righteousness to appease some higher being, or a god.

As a part of modern society, let us look at ourselves.

In our personal examination let us not be so naive as to say we are not at all like Procrustes.

As part of modern society we must conform to certain standards, but let us not be afraid to be called queer, square, or very different because we adhere to Scripture and not man's religion. We are God's chosen people, His children, a peculiar nation.

As such, our only concern must be conformity to His Word.

o Lord, let this Thy little flock, Thy name alone confessing, Continue in'Thy loving care, True unity possessing, Thy Sacraments, 0 Lord, And Thy saving Word' To us e'er pure retain.

Grant that they may remain Our only strength and comfort.

Anticipation of Call light At this time of the year there are two magical words on campus-Call Night.

At the mention of these words, things suddenly come alive: heads rise with anxious anticipation, faces glow with unspoken plans and dreams, classes fade away into daydreams which can only be dispersed by the bell at the end of the period.

Excitement rises as the day draws near.

The only topic of conversation runs along these lines: "Where will we be this time next year? What grades will we be teaching?

When will the calls come in?"

But at the same time apprehension rises.

We must have ability, sincerity, and many other things to succeed in our future work.

But will we be successful?

Will we correctly teach the children under our care? Can we bring these young souls to Christ?

When faced with these questions, how remote success seems. How' inadequate our abilities appear.

But it is then, when these doubts arise, that we turn our misgivings over to God and trust in His care. It is then that we must say: "No matter where I am, 0 God, help me to serve Thee well."

Spring is Mud Spring is mud. Mud makes work, dirties cars, and is a general nuisance.

But to a child, mud is a wonderful, exciting commodity. Just think of all the things you can build with mud! And it squishes!

Spring is rain. Day after day it may pour.

Spirits and hairdos droop. But rain brings grass and leaves. It brings flowers. It gives the earth the warm aroma of new life .

Spring i!i window-washing and screen-installing ttrne, back-breaking, arm-t iring work.

Drag the heavy ladders.

Soak your hands in water for hours. But then look through the clear glass at t he awakening: landscape.

Open the window and breathe the fragrant air. You are revived!

Spring is cleaning and reorganization time.

It calls for the impossible task of gathering and cleaning heavy winter clothes, trying to pack skates, sleds, skis, tire chains, and the like into a small space designed only for perhaps two pairs of skates.

But with this, we also pack away heavy winter spir-its, New energy bursts forth and anticipal ion of summer fun is almost too much to hear.

Spring IS fixing up the lawn mower and cutting the grass. Digging in the gardens, the flower beds. But one look 'at t he luxurious green carpet and the bursting buds should be reward enough after the stark, unrelieved white and brown of the winter.

Spring is bugs, suddenly flooding the neighborhood in droves. Greasy insect repellent. . But bugs are not the only new life. With them come the birds, the shiny blackbirds walking sedately about, the meadow larks calling from the telephone wires, the robins' haunting song at daybreak.

Spring is examinat ion time--slaving over books and term papers when every minute you wish to run out into the glorious air.

But spring is the promise of vacat ion soon to come, happy days, filled with exciting plans.

Spring is new life to all with t.he courage to take it!

Another Religious Fiasco Another Hollywood religious spectacle is on its way. Utah provides the setting, Charlton Heston adds a minor .role to his credit (he plays John the Baptist) and director George Stevens, hopes as he said, "to shake the theater."

"The Greatest Story Ever Told" is based on the book of the. same name by Fulton Oursler, but as not to depart from Hollywood's custom, Time reports that the book, the original script, is completely lost and forgotten. Poet Carl Sandburg, has done most of the script after four years of research.

Director Stevens promises us a true account of the life of Chrisl. This from Hollywood? It is quite hard to believe that this will be an exception to previous failures.

Especially, since .Max von Sydow describes Jesus as he plays Him, "a powerful man without the nursery kindness which Sunday schools- perhaps 'tell you that He had."

Herein lies our answer-another sickening attempt to put Christ in the movies.

A Look At Schools in Germany How would you like to go to a school with no extracurricular activities, write a five-hour test, carry twelve to fourteen subjects per year, or study Latin and physics for nine years?

These things are sll part of the Gymnasium system which is comparable to our grade school, high school, and junior college all lumped together, Perhaps the first thing should be to explain this very complex system.

At the age of three years most German children enter a kindergarten; they will remain there until they are six. At the age of six the child enters the Volkschule and remains until he is ten. In this school they are taught all the basic subiec te as in our elementary grades.

At the end of the Volkschule, each child writes an examination which will determine his future.

If he does well. he may enter the Gymnasium and then have an opportunity to eventually get into a university.

If he does poorly, he may enter a Fachschule where he will learn a trade or the Mittelscb u le for a business course. Graduates of these schools have very little or no opportunity to enter th« university.

In the Gymnasium are classes one to nine. They consist of pupils from eleven to nineteen years of age. Already in the second class the students have had one year of Latin and physics, algebra and biology; in the third year, French and English are added.

A student may take either the course which includes nine years of Latin and eight years of English or the course which includes eight years of English and seven years of French.

The average schedule of a sixth grader would include German, French (Latin), English, history, music, art, biology, physics, chemistry, physical education, religion, (either Catholic or German State Church) geometry, and civics.

At the end of the ninth class each student writ~ another exam, the Abitur.

If he passes, he may enter a university; if he fails , regardless of his average during the year, he must repeat the ninth class, For the greater part of the time that I was in Ulm, I attended a girls' school, the Wagnerschule Maedchengymnasium.

It was one of the oldest schools of Ulm, and it was considered one of the best.

In this and in all other German schools, great respect is shown to the teachers.

One rises as the teacher enters the room, and politely greets him. And one always greets all teachers in the halls. Until you are fourteen, you curtsey or bow to the teacherand all adults.

The teacher is absolute king in the classroom and what he says is always right.

Even if you yourself know he is wrong, you accept what the teacher says and never argue. I th ink many of us would find this and the lack of class discussion Quite oppressive at times.

The subjects which they study are, by our standards, Quite advanced by the sixth year of the Gy~nasium, and each phase of each subject is studied thoroughly.

Inquisitively Yours Graduation is almost here. The graduates of high school and college give you their candid answer to the thought-provoking questionWhat does graduation mean to you?

A new life in college- Lee Hanke A chance to get out teaching- Louise Uttech A time to leave school and put to use the knowledge an'd information learned- Werner Lemke Going to college-Ruth Heikes Another stepping-stone of life-Elaine Tullberg It is one of the last steps to becoming a teacher~Dave Erohn Freedom at last to devote all my time to promoting Sanitone dry cleaning-Mary Adams Wedding bells in two more days-George Rausch The end of four years 01 hard studying and fun and a diploma-Joan Biesmann Not knowing when I'll come back to DMLC next-Erma Hamann I came, I saw, I tried, I conquered (I hope) - Barbara Roerz The end of one's work as part of the campus family and the beginning of one's work as an individual servant of God-Kathy Stelse What will it mean to you?

What do German students do for entertainment if they have no sports? w-n. if you are expected to study four or five hours each day, that doesn't leave too much time for anything else. If you do have time, perhaps you'd go to the theater or opera, or sit at home and talk. A good student would never hold any sort of job, for it would interfere with his school work.

To many of the girls, dating was a waste of time; if you were really in, you wouldn't dream of listening to that silly American music; and your discuesions would be on a very intellectual level, revolving around art, music, and philosophy. {.

One of the great differences any of us would notice would be the extreme lack of religion in the life of the German student; They have compulsory religion classes, yes, but these are considered a thing to joke about or to use as more of a philosophy class. Tb is, of course, is not true of all s,tudents, hut, unfortunately, of the majority.

Co-educational schools are just coming into existence in Germany.

The older people shake their heads; but the students themselves are quite enthusiastic about them.

J visited a number of other schools, and I found these things to be generally true in all of them.

To teach them to cherish and honor their elders, Parents, superiors, and teachers alike.

News From The Classes

Plot for High School To be Purchased

College I

In its special convention held in November 1962, our Synod voted to separate the high school department from the college department at Dr. Martin Luther College. Since this decision necessitated the purchase of land for a new campus, the College Board was asked to seek out for purchase a desirable plot for a new high school campus in the vicinity of New Ulm. Such a plot was then to be purchased so that building plans for this campus along with firm bids for the initial buildings might be presented at the next Synod Convention to be held in August 1963. . The Board has found a most desirable piece of land in the area.

At its, nearest point the new campus lies but four blocks from the College

roasted corn on the cob, potato chips, and fresh fruit, bV .!Juding pineapples and bananas.

After our appetites were well appeased, six hula girls (Dan Weeks, Ray Manthe, Bob Klug, Paul Koepsell, Joe Lequia, and Chuck Carmichael) imported directly from our 50th state, entertained us in royal Hawaiian fashion.

We then all sat around the blazing fire, sang 2. few swinging songs, and listened to several selections played by Jan Weishahn on the piano, Jim Zahn on the trumpet, and Max Zechinato on the trombone.

Instructor Fallen also entertained us by strumming a few songs on his guitar.

College II The sophomore annual spring activity was a picnic held at Flandrau State Park, Friday, May 3. Varied recreation included old-fashioned singing, with Ron Ertner serving as emcee for the evening's entertainment.

The class visited the State Hospltal,at St. Peter Friday, May 10.

College IV The College Seniors have been so ~ trying to get all their work (lone-'ilii,t"they have haa little' tlme-" to make the headlines.

They have, however, made some decisions regarding their final month of school and graduation.

At a recent class meeting they chose royal blue and white as class colors and a- white rose as the flower. The class motto is taken from Isaiah 41 :13, "For I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee."

They also decided to give a sum of money as a class gift to be used for the purchase of altar furnishings for the proposed new chapel.

As the place of their final class outing, they chose Fort Ridgely.

Here they will hold their traditional picnic.

The Senior men were guests of Dean and Mrs. Hahnke Tuesday evening, May 7, for a delicious fish fry.

Allafl:)I Memories On Thursday, April 4, at 2:45 p.m. a group of eager ccllegtates. the members of College Choir I, Professor Zahn, and Professor Hoenecke boarded two buses to begin the 1963 choir tour, a tour which would take the choir into five states and over nearly 2200 miles of highway.

A group of students and faculty members gathered to wave them off, and the tour was underway.

The buses soon took on a rather homelike appearance.

Pillows were placed here and there for the comfort of many.

A library, consisting of children's books, was established in the rear of one of the buses. Magazines were also available for reading pleasure.

Ashtrays, which were once soft-drink bottles, were placed near the male members of the choir. Knitting and embroidery projects were much in evidence.

Clipboards and luggage served as easily available tables for games. There was little lacking to make the buses quite comfortable.

Life in the buses quickly settled into a routine.

Studies occupied the time of many.

Others slept. Many a game of Password was enjoyed by both participants and kibitzers. Domesticfifie-al'tl:n.1<nlttlng,-n-etc:)- were enjoyed.

The college sophomores had literary hours devoted to the oral reading of Moby Dick. Jokes flew from the back of the buses to the front and made for never a dull moment.

Although the purpose of the tour was to sing the message of salvation, many other events in addition to the services will be remembered.

As a part of the recruitment program there was a stop at Luther High School, Onalaska.

Here the student body was given an opportunity to hear of life at DMLC and to ask questions concerning our school.

During a stop in La Crosse several of the members of the choir visited the cathedral, which is a lavish and impressive building.

There they met the bishop of the La Crosse Diocese.

While in Milwaukee the choir toured the Greek Orthodox Church.

This building was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.

In keeping with Wright's ideas, this is a departure

from the ordinary type of church building.

It is richly decorated and wrought with much symbolism related to the Greek Orthodox teachings.

Other institutions were also visited. There was time only for a view of the campus of Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary, Mequon. A A somewhat longer visit to Northwestern College allowed time to tour some of the buildings. The choir was given a whirlwind tour of Bethesda Lutheran Home: Choir members were especially impressed by the many activities carried on in the manual arts department.

At Appleton the choir visited Lawrence College. Here the art department, the library, and the mUSIC department were the focal points of interest.

A paper mill was toured at Rhinelander.

The great noise and the huge machines working at a rapid speed were the first impressions to meet the choir. It was also interest.ing to note the many kinds of paper produced and the variety of industries supplied with the products of this milL Tour was not only institutions, but also ---,peopJe;--ChOli

luggage and clothing behind or on the buses overnight.

Illness accompanied the touring.

Smelling salts were much in demand at several of the services.

Perhaps the outstanding memory of the tour was the hospitality experienc-ed everywhere. Each meal was a pleasant adventure, as the waistlines of the choir members show.

Especially memorable was the overwhelming smorgasbord which greeted the choir one evening. Hosts were always accommodating, willing to rise at any hour to take the choir members to the buses. Greatly to be admired are those who made it possible for the choir to leave Plymouth, Michigan, at 5:45 a.m, As all good things must come to a close, so the tour had to end. The buses once more entered the DMLC campus at 12:30 a.m., Tuesday, April 16. All that remained was to unload the buses and wearily but happily to trudge back to the respective dorms.

tering around the Lutheran high schools affiliated with our Wisconsin Evangelical Synod. It is hoped that through the work of the Student Mission Project this past year the students at DMLC -have received an increased appreciation for and interest in the work of our Synod in bringing the Word of God to all people.

Another aspect of the Student Council's work which has received considerable emphasis this year has been the Speaker's Corps. Although the Speaker's Corps is not composed entirely of Student Council members it is sponsored by the Student Council and receives it!'; impetus from the Council, With the cooperation of the Faculty Recruitment Committee the Speaker's Corps has been able to reach many young people and parents and tell them of life on our campus and the preparation of teachers for our Christian Day Schools. We hope that many of our students will follow the lead of the Speaker's Corps and spread the word among the young people of your home congregations about the need for teachers and the preparation of teachers here at DMLC. If any are interested in acting as a representative of their school, in this respect, the chairman of the Faculty Recruitment Committee, Professor Brick, and the President of the Student Council, Dan Schmeling, will be happy to give you information.

In the course of the coming weeks the Student Council hopes to hand out an evaluation sheet to the student body to aid them in evaluating their work during the course of the past year. We hope that you will be very frank in your appraisal and offer constructive criticism and suggestions for improvement which will aid the Student Council in providing activities and services which are to the interest' of the majority of the students.

In this way we will better be able to act a." your representatives in the administration of campus life.

The Physical Education Program In my last article the need and objectives of physical education in the elementary school were noted. There is a great need for such a program, but to date this program has been sadly neglected in many of our Christian Day Schools. For that reason, I would at this time like to propose guide lines which might be used in the establishment of a sound phy-

sical education program or the extension of an already existing program.

Many understand physical education to mean merely the teaching and playing of highly organized games such as volleyball, baseball, and basketball.

It is true that this is an important part of a complete program, but it must not be the only part. As we seek to educate the physical as well as the mental, we should stress proper health and safety habits. This is also an important part of our physical education program.

It has often been mentioned that there is not enough time in the school day to incorporate an extensive physical education program into it. It might be well to take a look at the requirements of such a program and how it can be fitted into our curriculum.

The over-all physical education program may be divided into three areas. There are J. Health education, 2. Safety education, and 3. Recreational guidance. Through this type of program the needs of the pupils will be met without the installation of elaborate facilities or by going into an extensive physical education program.

Health education is so important that it must be a continuous program which includes a school health service, a healthful atmosphere in the school, an instructional program and special health instruction.

In the education of the principles of safety we should seek to instill in our children the realization that the Fifth Commandment, "Thou shalt not kill," requires care for the safety of self and others. It should be remembered in all activities that there is a right way and a wrong way of doing thingsand that the right way is usually the safe

On April 24 the Lancer tennis team played its first match of the season against the Vikings from Bethany Junior College. Werner Lemke, the No. 1 man and captain of the tennis team, defeated his opponent Biesterleld 6-0, 6-3 and teamed with Ken Nolte, the No.2 man, to defeat Biesterleld and Quist 6-3, 6-0 in the main double match. Ken Nolte had. to struggle to gain his first victory with a score of 10-8. The second set came easier, however, as he roared to a 6-1 advantage. Boyd Tech and Bob Kuehn overcame their opponents by scores of 6-4, 6-0 and 6-0, respectively. They combined to defeat Johnson and Theiste in the second doubles match by the score of 6-2, 6-2.

way. As teachers, we must. be aware of the fact that the development of safety habits is often best achieved through supervised play and individual guidance.

Recreational guidance is that part of the program which is usually thought of as being the essence of physical education.

The recreational guidance phase of the physical education program consists of two distinct parts. These parts are the Instructional period and the supervised period.

The instructional periods are the periods when new types of activities are taught and practiced.

In this area the teacher should take the initiative and actually teach the material which is to be practiced in the other play periods. After being taught by the teacher, the activities should be practiced frequently by the pupils until they acauire satisfactory skiIIs. The morning recess, noon and afternoon recess periods should be -onsidered as physical education periods and require constructive leadership and supervision by teachers.

These periods offer an opportunity to extend the educational influences of the school into the play life 01 the child. The child here has the chance to practice the activities which are taught in the inscructional periods.

I do not think that it is too much to expect two fifteen minute class periods per week for the physical education program in addition to the recess periods. One of the periods may be devoted to health and safety education, and the other to recreational guidance. Many states now require more extensive physical education programs in their schools; and, lest we be ('aught unprepared, we should also inaugurate such a program in our schools: An excellent book on this subject which may be purchased from the Concordia Publishing House is Physical Education for Elementary Grades by Elmer A. Seefeld.

I would encourage all teachers to have a book of this type in their library.
