Our Sign Of Welcome The marker on the Center Street entrance still welcomes students and visitors to our campus. Although the student w1ll find a plot plan ot the campus in the college catalog, the latter has not been able to keep completelyup to date with the changesthat havebeengoing on. Already since last year, when this picture was taken, several Importantchangeshave been made onthe groundsthemselves. The upper lett of the picture tails to showthe beginningsof a tootball bowl that is gradually taking shape. The extreme lett center snows only a small part ot the new soccer and sottball fields. The white building, men's dormitory, shownto the right ot the baseball diamond, has been moved to the lett ot the diamondanddirectlywestotthe tennis courts. The new gymnasium - auditorium, student union, retectory building, now under construction,will occupy part of its site. This building runs parallel to HillviewHall, our newestdormitory for wom-

A new

academic year has

begun. For many of you It Is beginning In an entirely new educational environment. Certainly that Is true of this institution's freshman pr esldent, We may well be asking the mutual question: Whatare wegoing to do with the academic year which God In His grace Is openIng to us? I can't answer this question for you. I am sure, however, that I can answer It on behall of the administration, faculty, and staff. First of all, you may';' sure that the admlnlstratlon, faculty and staff, despite the somewhat limited physical faclUUes at present, will bend every effort to provide an environment In which you can exercise to ,best advantage your God-glven tal-

OUR PURPOSES "Dr. Martln Luther College uncompromIsingly clings to the dlvlne Inspiration of the Bible. It belleves, therefore, that all education, It It Is to be really beneficial to the individualand to the community, must make the human soul conscious of Its sinful tendencies and Inspire It with a Uvlng faith In Jesus Chrlst, the Savior. This alone enables man to face llfe's problems wisely and to appear be_ fore his God conl1dently and eagerly. Only the Holy Spirit can so educate, and He works only through the Scrlptures. Dr. Martln Luther College stands up for this Truth, preaches this

Word, and builds all of Its education on this Basis." The purpose of the college Is to serve the Churchbyeducating future teachers, and through them, to spread the Word of God, Hence llfe at DMLC,both In work and relaxation, Is directed to the tralnlng of young Chrlstlans, tralnlng those here, and Indlrectly tralnlng those In the schools of our Synod, A great task Ues before you whoenter at the marker; butthe task Is not an Insurmountable one. With the help of God and the love of your neighborshere you can realize your calling :. to be a true servant Ofthe Lord,

Life On The Campus Student Council The student Council Is oneof the most active organizations on our campus. One ofthe main funcUons of this council is as a medlator betweenthe students and the faculty; It is to help make the student's stay at DMLC an enjoyable and eventful experience. This council Is composedof four elected representatives from each ctass, two men and two' women, and the Interim committee which 15 made up of the student body otflcers. It Is the duty of these representatives to see to It that all student bodyeven15on our campus are plannedandsupervised. Amongthese activities are the Halloween parttes, monthiy movie nights, spring and fall all- school get - togethers, Christmas decorations, annual snow carnival and hootenanny, monthly mlsston projects and mission workshop, and the Spring Activities Banquet, which 15 the big formal event of the year.

directs the Chorus. Although this choir does not go on a tour, It spreads the Gospel message In song at local churches and In chapel exercises, and also sings In the school concerts. Try-outs are held at the beginning of each year to determine the membership of the College Choir. The College Choir prepares a larger repertoire of songs than the other groups for each of the three ~bool concerts. In addition, It has appeared annually on the Mankatotelevision station at Chrtstmas and also takes an extended tour ov, er the Easter vacation. Professor Zabn, the head of the music department, Is the director of tbe choir.

Class Fun

Marluts This group fittingly derives its name from MARtinLUTher. The group is voluntaryandopen to all college men. Rehearsals are held twice a week, from 6:10-7:00, at which time several secular songs are practiced In preparation for the two concerts during the year. The Marlut singers also enJoy the Christmas caronng, the annual Marlut- Aeollan Christmas party, singing for Lenten services, and singing for other occasions In and out of town. Many interesting selections are planned for the group, this year under the direction of a student elected by the group. The Marluts wishthat youwill join them this year. It will be time well spent. Aeolian~ College girls also have the opportunity to join a singing group called the Aeollans. The organization Is simllar to a girls' glee club just as theMarluts Is a boys' glee club. The Aeollans sing In the two concerts, go Christmas caroling, and sing for Lenten services. A student w11l direct the Aaottans, whopractice twice a weekafter the supper hour.

Those Interested In jolnlng the Aeollans, are askedto watch the schedule for time and place of rehearsals.

It also gives all ach3Dce to become better acquainted with their fellow classmates and both upper andIo»:er~lass_men.

Children's Theatre The Children's Theaterbegan last year and Wasrecetved with approval by students and fa.cJJlCY ailke•. The Children's Theater 15 a part of the Luther Literary League. . .:. Tbe purpose of the Children's Theater·is 1) to entertain and amuse children whoare attend~ng Lutheran Grade Schools. 2) to provide a s~atlon whereby our grade schcot children might become betplr acquainted with D.M.L.C. 3) to help the child see the great need for workers In the Church. Last year's production was a success. It was enUtled THE RED SHOESby RobinShort and based on the fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen. Four performances were given In May: one In st. Paul at st. Crolll Lutheran High SchOOlwhere 500 children attended, two atternooo performances In New Ulm with900children attending, and one evening performance for students oncampus,profes'; sors and their tam111es, and adults Whowere Interested. A tine beglnn1nghas been mace and we hope to become even larger and more prottclent this year. All students both new and old are invited 10 join the Luther Literary LeagueandThe Children's Theater.

ReCitals, lyceums, concerts, mOvies, and class activities augment the college experience.

Band Rehearsals Rehearsals for the DMLC marching band will begin soon. In addition to the interesting routines, one also enjoys the I1ght, rhythmic music that the pep band plays for football and basketball games. A concert together with the Marluts and Aeol1ans will be given in February and another In May. A beginner's band will also be set up and When given sufficient instruction the members wUl be allowed to play in the concert band. Mr. Charles Luedtke Is the new band' director, who is looking forward to a successful year. If you have an interest in this type of acUvlty, be sure to watch the announcements for the Urne of rehearsals.

Hillview Hall from the entrance The first thing a prospective student of D.M.L.C. asks herself is, "Where will I l1ve?" The college provides five wo-

men's dormitories on campus. Each dormitory is supervised by a housemother whose job it is to make 111e as much like

home as possible. Dormitory residence is by appointment and roommates likewise. After the first year, one can choose his roommate, or two roommates depending on Which dormitory he Is in. The high school girls are

housed in Centennlal Hall and Hlllcrest Which are supervised by Mrs. Siegler and Miss Rlxe, respectively, Three girls l1ve in each room in Centennlal and number varies in Hillcrest. Centennlal also houses some college freshmen women. Ai-

class schedule

ter their freshmen year, the girls moved to Hlllview Hall which was pven Its homey air by Mrs. SUfring. Each of these new rooms houses two girls with

underclassmen on the lower floors working up to the senlors on the fourth floor. Waldhelm, the upstairs of the Stelljes' home, houses ten girls and is supervised by a student matron. Here the girls enjoy being "few" and thus become a closely - knit group. Below Excelsior, the Bodes house college girls. They can be recognized by their daily trips up and down Excelsior. Because of our increased enrollment, it is necessary for some girls to l1ve off campus with private famllles. No matter where a glrll1ves, she finds the Christian love and companlonshlp of her fellow students and that her housemother is sincerely interested in her and her well-being.

Practice Hall And Music Center In touring our campus one would find only one situation where two bulldlngs are facing each other. These two bulldings have much In common, yet are very different from each other. The older of the two (this distinction is't dltflcult to make) was bullt in 1911 and is known as the Practice Hall. The other, constructed in 1961, Is called the Music Center. Both bulldings are used for the musical education of the fUture teachers ofWELS. The Practice Hall has six pipe organs and fourteen ptanos, These instruments are used by beth college and hlgh school suldents for practice purposes. There is one classroom in this bullding which also serves as an office for the head of the high seboolmusic department, Prof. E. Hirsch. And of course there Is also the check-

er's office. The Music Center has greatly expanded tile musical facUlties at DMLC. In this building there are seven pipe organs, one electronlc organ, and eleven planes for student practice. Other rooms included in this bullding are seven studios where lessons are given, four offices for members of the music faculty, a spacious bandroom where the ninety-piece band rehearses, a large choir room, a music library, a faculty room, and the office of the chairman of the music department, Prof. MeUahn Zahn. There Is also an office for the

checker.

Building On Campus It may surprise you to find our campus a busier place than ever this year. This business will not be confined to the class room or to the playing field, but will be found also in that area that was once part of the playtng field .. One w1U hear the noise of mechanlcal equipment - that of trucks, bulldozers, cranes, ham-

mers. This noise is a welcome one, however, since It Is proylding us with a new gymnasium, a ldtchen and dining hall and a student union, All of these things wlll be under one roof and are so arranged to give students a fine recreational as well as educational

center. The new gymnasium will be able to accommodate over 1700 spectators at games and wUl seat an audience of over 2200 for such occasions as concerts, June Night, and graduation exercises. Besides other conveniences, the new student union wU1 offer a limited postal service. It contains a game room, a TV room, a spacious lounge, a snack area, a bOOkand stationery store, and It has several meeting and business offices. The kitchen-dining area, placed on a half-level under the student union wUl be run cafeteria style and can seat comfortably at one time 380 diners; hence It can accommodate about 1200 within the time allotted to two class periods, during which meals

are served.

Science Club Sees Arboretum Early Sunday morning on Octobe r ninth, Prof. and Mrs. Swantz and 13 Phlogtston members departed lor what proved to be an interesting and enjoyable day. Their first stop was Belle Plaine, where they attended Trinity Lutheran Church. Atter se rvices the group visited our Lutheran Old Peoples Home there. One again they were on the road and on their way to their final destination, the Arboretum. The Arboretum, which Is in the Twin Cities area, consists of 322 acres of nature land which Is being developed for educational purposes and enJoyment. In the Arboretum there are approximately 3 miles of road which provide an easy access to all of its parts. Six miles of trails also furnish ample opportunity for those who prefer to walk among the beauties of nature. Over 400 species of plants are native to the Aboretum, and another 2,500 species and cultIvars ha ve also been planted. These plants are grouped both according to their botonlcal relationship and according to their land scape uses. Although the entire place aroused their curiosity and interest, the Bog Trail seemed to be a favorite of the group. Along this trail typical marsh vegetation was planted, and since tramping on these plants seriously changes their environment, the hikers are requested to follow railroad tie paths th rough the marsh.

chorus of cancan girls appeared twice, really livening up the pepfest. The "Mr. Legs" contest was held with six competitors from the SOccer team. Granny Pricker was there warnIng us of the ominous Luther Lancers, a reallytough,dangerous SOccer team. After the rally In the audItorium, the students made their way outside toward the soccer field where a giant-sized can of "Comet" cleanser and the traditional "L" were burned, ac .. companied by the singing of the school song.

A Letter Home

This year on campus many changes, both internal and external, have greeted the student body.Especially welcometoev'eryone were the changes or modifications in certain rules and procedures. A new chapel time, the planned absence system, and extendedeveninghours are the major changes, along with newmethodsfor takingcare of absences and for signingup for communion. Chapel services for high school and college are separate, high school chapel beginningat 8:45 and college chapel at 9:55. Several reasons prompted this change. Joint chapel could not be continuedbecause of the difficulty in accommodatingsucha large group. Later chapel also allows those individualswith first class hours free to snatch a little more needed rest. Off campus studentsfindlater chapel more convenient, also. The planned absence system or cut system allows students two cuts per semester for every course attended three times a week, and one cut per semester for each course taken two times or less a week. This system was initiated for the benefit of the students so that all may be treated alike when it comes to requesting time off from school. Oneperson is not favored over another, but all receive fair treatment. Evening hours have been extended on week-ends for all classes and on weeknights for the upper classmen. It was felt that by this time, collegiates should be responsible and mature enough to be good stewards of their owntime. Now that we have these privileges, what are we going to do with them? Certainly it wouldnot be wise to take them for granted or to take advantage of them. With each of these privileges comes some responsibility on our part. Let us therefore respect these privileges and use them as intelligent, r-esponsible, mature adults, showing our gratitude and appreciation for these new changes since they were made out of consideration for us.

The Art Of Cramming With the beg1nn1ng of each scholastic year the revival of cramming for tests Is once again in full swing. It has been calied

"a waste of time," "childish," and"the

last refuge of academic sloths." The best definition for this art would be the attempt to acquire a large amount of knowledge in a smali amount of time, the two variable factors being the individual' and his predicament. Sometimes cramm~ng Is the burning of midnight oli In an attempt to learn an entire course in one night. It could be a final intensive review of work studied all term. Usually this art Is something in between. Many students use the cramming device in preparing for objective tests, cramming facts into their head.

Congratulations for a job well done goes to the sophomore class on winning the homecomIng traveUng trophy. The theme of the ground display, "He who peeks through a hole may see what will vex him" was based on the 1966 Homecoming theme "Proverbs." Behind a fence with various knotholes one could see the Lancer players tangling with their Concordia opponents on their way to victory. Between studying for a saUd week of tests and Iabortng over term papers, the sophomores still found time to display their class spirit. It takes a class with sttck-togetherness to get things done. Congratulations also go to our newly elected class officers: Steve Rutschow, preSident; Terry Vasold, vice_president; MadeUne Scharf, secretary: and Sandy Hunter, treasurer; and to our collegiate council representaUves: Nancy Ebert, KarenSavUle, Dave Lohse, and Duane Rehberg.

they had a marvelous time among all that music. Has anyone heard of the new Cinerama movie, "Khartoum ?" Well, If you haven't heard of it before you will probably hear all about It after we get back from our class activity. If all goes well, we plan to take a quick jaunt to the Cities and •'take in a movie" as they say. If you never see any Seniors

running around on campus after classes, it is because they have all gone home to read their "kiddie" books, or write their Lutheran Confession papers. And home to the seniors means more than a short trip to the

dorm. We are scattered all over New Ulm In private homes of all sorts. That is why there Is a shortage of Seniors around campus and. that-ls Whyyou see so many of them rushing from

their cars to their classes in the morning. I hope that none of you readers think that we don't like living off campus. I think I can speak for all of us in saying .that we .actually prefer It, and ·We are glad to see D.lvf.L.C. groWing as It Is. "The harvest Is ripe and the fields are WaltIng."

Sing For Fun Among other clubs and organlzaUOns which recently reorganized for the new school year were Marluts and Aeol., lanse These are the two organIzattons for those college men and women, respectively, who enjoy getting together to sing. Aeouans, directed by Helen Scharf, began rehear sing the first week in October, with a turnout ofaround one -hundred thirty women. Marluts, under the direction of John Nolte, held their first rehearsal October thirteenth, Which attracted twenty men. Both groups meet on Monday and Thursdayevenlngs, between supper and chap_ el, starting at 6:15. Aeolians meet in the auditorium, Mar_ luts In the band room. This year they will present two joint concerts, one in February and one in May, both In conjunc_ tion with the band. Both groups sing all secular music, except at Cbristmas time. This year's officers for Aeol1ans are Karen Sievert, president, and Ruth Huebner, assistant directress. Marluts have not as yet elected officers, since more members are expected at the end of soccer season next week and after the first quarter of practice teaching. Of course, any new members In either group are sincerely welcome.

Council Embarks

On A New Year Already this school year the newly ratified Collegiate Council constitution has brought about many changes and im , provements. Ratified on September 17, 1966, by well over 400 students, the new constitution brought about the followIng changes: 1) The name "Student Council" was changed to "Collegiate council," thus distinguishIng it from the high school's Student Council. 2) Representatives, as well as officers, are now required to take out nomination papers, thereby Insuring the nomination of only willing and Interested candidates. 3) Officers and representatives are to be elected by pref_ erence majority ballot, so that the winners receive not only a plurality, but also a major!tyof votes. 4) The president is to be elected in May to provide organization through the summer months and immediate leadershiP in the new school year. Collegtate Council has recently established a Lost and Found Department, presently located in Room 116. Items, such as books and gloves, are to be taken to this room: however, valuables are to be taken to the office. A college class ring designed especially for the college by Mr. White, representative from Joston's, is on display for the student body. Depending on the degree of interest displayed by the students for the rings, Collegiate Council will decide whethe r or not to make this the oft1clal DMLe college class ring.~ __

Alumni News To some this news may be fresh and to others very old. At least, it Is hoped that the alumni will be able to learn what some of their former classmates are doing. During the summer Roseann Klockzlem ('66) became engaged to Ron Schultz, Barb Seager ('66) to Roger Klockzlem ('66), Eileen Poole ('66) to Dan Feldt, Joann Hopp to Herb Wolff ('65), and Jean Quast ('65) to Steven Sterm (H.S. '59). Marriages were also many in number during the summer. On June 11th George De Noyer ('66) wed Helen Schmidt (11-,66). They were followed by Ray Dusseau and Ruth Helkes who were married on June 19th.

CoHegiates Share In Fun Luther HollOWon Sunday aft_ ernoon, September 18, was the scene of this year's college Fall Activity. The combination of perfect weather and an interesting program provided an afternoon of enjoyment for all who attended. Each person WaS giv_ en a small section of a cardboard box, as he entered, with one of a number of symbols drawn on It. After finding the rest of the people with the same symbol, thus forming groups, the object was for each group to piece together all its sec ; t~ons of cardboard to make up the original box from which they were cut. The first group done with this received points. There followed a number of group games and relay races, with the Winning group of each act! vity receiving points. After the activities were over, the group with the most points won the "grand prize," a box of Mlik Duds for each person. Since one of the prime purposes of the event was to get new students to become acquainted, the supper was arranged to suit this purpose. Every other per , son got a number, the others receiving numbered lunch bags with two lunches In them. Aft_ er the people with numbers found their partners with lunch bags, everyone sat down. Supper Was followed by stng, Ing, led by the M.C. Jim Hen ; ning on his guitar. others who helped organize the afternoon were Sharon Schultz, who Was In charge of the entertainment, and Kathy Koch, who was in charge of the food, besides other students who helped In various ways.

On September 29, Prof. Koel_ pin, at the first Junto meeting, presented a European Tour via a slide lecture. He led the aud, ience through Greece, Italy, Germany. France, the Netherlands, and various other in .. terestmg countries. They visIted such places as the Vatican, St. Peter's Basilica, and ruins of the Roman wall whUe in Italy. The tour of Greece was not complete until the Temple of Jupiter at the Oracle of Delphi, the Acropohs, Mars HUI, and some beautiful Athenian scenery were viewed. Slides from Germany presented the typical German way of life among other things, such as the historical Brandenburg Gate. Another favorite was Paris. France, with Its Eltfel Tower and Arch of Triumph. . The Junto Club also had a meeting carrying out the theme "Black Power and the White Back-lash." Clara Schulte and Helen Kuehl presented the ease. Helen explained the meaning of Black Power by giving opinions of men such as Stockley Carmichael (leader of the SNCC). Dr. Martin Luther King, and other Negro leaders. Clara discussed the White Back Lash, especially the effect of the Civil Rights demonstrations and riots on the political scene. In the question and an. swer period that followed, the entire group discussed the effect of the Civil Rights movement as It Is today. The purpose of Junto Is to arouse the Interest of students in world affairs. These presentations of Junto make this enjoyable, as well as educational.

English Group To Perform "A Quartet With Four Aces •• " The above quotation Is taken from the Morgenpost from Berlin and refers to the flrst concert of the 1966-1967 season of the New Ulm Community Concerts. The Copenhagen String Quartet will begin the season November, 7, 1966 at 8:30 P.M. This outstanding ensemble appeared for the flr:;t time In 1957 at a recital in Copenhagen and at once established a reputation as one of the leading chamber music ensern ... bles in Europe. Since then the Quartet has given numerous concerts and broadcasts all over the world. This is theflrst American tour for the group. Four excellent instrumentalists form the basis of this ensemble. They are: Tulter Givskov, violin I, who made her first dubut in 1949; Morgans Ludolph, violin who made his flrst dubut In 1951; Morgens Bruun, viola, who made his dubut In 1955; and Asger Lund Christiansen, lcello, who made his flrst debut In 1947. Here ls· just a sampling of what the press has said concerning this outstanding Quartet. London: "The Copenhagen String Quartet, a very harmonious team, made a most happy Impression . • • they played with Infectious enthusiasm ••• warm tone •.• delicate brilliancy." Montreal: "It 1s seldom that we hear such clean, detailed, and stimulating playing • • ." Brussels: "It is easy to place them among the best ot our time."

Soccer Round,.up St. Olaf Game The Lancers kicked off the 1966 soccer season at Northfield against the always tough st. Olaf squad. Two buss loads of DMLC students saw Merlyn Kruse score the Lancers first goal of the season In the first half of the game. St. Olaf came storming back In the second half to tie the contest at 1-1. With the score stlll tied at the end of regulation time, the two squads battled through two overtime periods which stlll ended in a stalemate. Concordia The Concordia Comets of st. Paul furnished the opposition for DMLC In their first conference game. Merle Kruse led the way with two goals and Gordy Vetter and Ken Rahn each chipped In with one. The trip back to New Ulm was a cheerful one due to a 4-2 Lancer victory. Carlton Carlton College of Northfield challenged the Lancers to a game after seeing the St. Olaf game. This was a very experienced soccer team that displayed much finesse and talent on the field. The Lancers had trouble getting rolling In the first half and were down 4-0 at the midway point. In the second half Luther held their own very well but came out on the short end of a 5-1 score. Cocaptain Gordy Vetter scored the Lancers only goal. Bethany Next, a rejuvenated

soccer team came to New Ulm to battle the Lancers In a renewal of the ancient rivalry. Though not displaying an ex-

amount of soccer

talent, the Vlklngs bruised their way to a 1-1 tie. Gordy Vetter put Luther ahead In the first half with a goal from his left wing position. Bethany did not score until approximately five minutes remained In the game. The Vikings then held off continuous Lancer pressure and another stalemate was the result. st. Olaf A return visit was paid to DMLC by the st. Olaf squad. Terry vasotd, starting his first game, paved the way for Luther with two goals, and Gordy Vetter added a third. The Lancers were never in serious trouble as they posted a 3-1 victory. Mankato state The Lancers then traveled to Mankato to do battle In a nonconference game with Mankato

State. Playing on a football field under the lights and without the aid of soccer shoes dId not seem to hinder the Lancers as they came out ahead of the State team 2-0. Seniors Merl Kruse and Bob Hill scored the DMLC goals. Pl!lsbury Owatonnawas the next destination of the traveling Lancer soccer team. This year Pillsbury did not offer their usual tough competition as DMLC piled up an 8-1 victory. Merl Kruse and Bob Hl!lled the scorIng parade with two goals apiece. Freshman Larry conyard, Gordy Vetter, and Dave Lohse added one apiece. Concordia Concordia offered the competition for OUrsecond annual Soccer Homecoming which was held on sunday, October 16th. Friday night blew UP an early snowstorm, but despite this fact the game went on as scheduled. The snow was shovelled from the field by many Industrious students. Despite the weather there was a big crowd on hand to support their team. The Lancers took a 2-0 halftime lead on goals by Merl Kruse and Terry Vasold. This was a day the DMLC squad was not to be topped. Kruse booted his second goal of the day and the final score read 3-0. The Lancers now have an unblemished homecoming

Time Out What is wrong with our school spirit? How many times have you heard this question? How many times has somebody asked "Were you at the game yesterday?" If the answer is no, how many times have you heard "what's the matter, don't you have any school spirit?" Does this attitude actually foster and promote school spirit? School spirit Is something very intangible and delicate which comes from inside of an individual. Basically everyone has a certain amount of school spirit, just as everyone basically knows right from wrong. All students do not get a chance to make It to all of the activities. This does not mean that they do not have as much school spirit as the next person. At an athletic contest one person may boisterously cheer for his team, whereas another may quietly wipe the perspiration from his brow in anxiety. Just because an individual is not hoarse after the game does not mean he lacks school spirit. A student may be studying d11!gently In his room during an activity. Remember this student also will represent his school someday, and he wants to be a worthy representative. What kind of an Impression do people get when they walk down the hall and see signs that read "Loyalty?" "Spirit?" Many pepfests somehow manage to throw in the statement, "Show your school spirit and come to the game tomorrow." School spirit Is something that Is always there whether harped about or not. Wouldn't it be much more effective to hear the words, "Let's all give it a real try to be there tomorrow; the team needs you"? After all who are we to judge one another on his school spirit? At a' Christian institution everyone' realizes the need for harmony between studies and activities. School spirit comes naturally. We all want the best tor our school and its .rspresentattves, What's wrong with our school spirit? Nothlngl Let's quit knocking it down and degrading it to the level so many already think It is at.

record. Bethany The Bethany Vikings offered the opposition for the battle for first place on October 19th at Mankato. Both teams were fired up and played good ball games. Early In the first half Bethany was awarded a penalty kick and made the score 1-0. The Lancers kept the pressure on throughout the ball game but were unable to punch one through the goal. Once again It was a very spirited contest between these two rivals, this time with Bethany winning 1-0. Up to this date Bethany has a 4-0-1 record and DMLC a 3-1-1 record.

Both teams have one game remaining.

Concert Dehut Stulday afternoon, November 20, the twenty-nine members of DMLC's CBE (Concert Band Ensemble) set a new precedent under the direction of Mr. Charles Luedtke. This was the first time that a totally form-

offices, storage space, and a

campus who have also been busy: the workers on our new gymnasium-student union-refectory. At the beginning of the present term in September only part of one wall had been erected and the majority of the footings had been laid. By now 90% of the basement floors have been laid, ~he first floor walls of the gumnasium are almost completed, and one-third ofthe walls of the student union are up. One unit wlll contain tbe student union andcafeterla,and the other unit will contain the gymnasium, stage, and related rooms. Both units wlll be connected by a breezeway. Plans call for the first floor in the gymnasium bullding to be finished in another flve weeks, thus enabling work to be carried on in the basement during I the winter months. This base-

One is that delivery of steel has been poor and has held up progress to some extent. Probably the biggest factor Is that common to all construction projects, the weather. The early snows and cold weather have already taken their tolL "The weather is the all-Important factor, and

pearance to the observer. This new group, limited strictly to college students, delighted the audience with such well-known selections as "Tales from Vienna Woods" by strauss, "Exodus" by Gold, "Overture to The Messiah" by Handel, and "Sheep May Safely Graze" by Bach. The unique feature about the CBE is that each instrumentalist is solely responsible for his own part. As a result, the anphasls is placed on compact-

ness. In order to play in the CBE, the instrumentalist must be a capable musician chosen by competitive audition. SUch an incentive for membership in this band leads to excellence in practice and musclanship. The enthusiasm for this band Is displayed by the members' wUlingness to hold rehearsals at 7: 15 a.m. before classes. The loyalty of th; ,gr';Uji in appearing at rehearsals is greaUyap_ preciated by its-director. The CBE goes: more deeply into techniques, and plays more difficult and more sophisticated music than the other bands on campus. It is hoped that DMLC's band program can be elevated by promoting interest in the CBE and thereby make it tradltional,

Much Variety

The students of DMLC recently recei~ed an enlightening picture of ille at Bethesda Lutheran Home, located in Watertown, Wisconsin. Guest speaker for this October 27 Mls,5ion Program, was Mrs. Borgeldt, a resident of West Saint Paul. As a Board member or Bethesda , it is the duty of Mrs. Borgelt to provide her fellow Lutherans with an accurate account of Bethesda's activities. "Bridge to Another World," a !Urn specially prepared for

such purposes, was shown.

"Prelude, ana cnaconae." She with seven settings of komm, der Heiden Heiland !1nlshed with the :"C;on,celrto in A minor" by

-Bach.

Miss Zaulner began the second part of her program with a Chorale PreludeandFantasla on "0 Lamm Gottes, unschuldig" which she composed in 1962 while working towards her bacbelor's degree at Lawrence College in APpleton, Wisconsin. The program closed with the 'sonata II' by Mendelssohn and "Litanies" by Jehan Alain. Miss Zaulner has taught at DMLC for the past three years after receiving her bachelor's degree at Lawrence College and her master's in plano at the University of nIinols.

Filmed on Bethesda's premises, the movie features the ch1ldren who live there, emphasizing in parfcular the chlldrens' happiness in Bethesda's surroundings. The film was followed by an informal question and answer period. A collection designated for Bethesda was taken at the close of the program, amounting to $125.85. Featured speaker for the November 28 Mission Program wlll be !i.C. Nitz, our missionary from Puerto RIco, who wUl present a slide lecture dealing with his Puerto Rican Mission activities.

68 Congregations Donate Food It is a tradition in October of every year to go on donation trips throughout the area to the various congregations who have raised crops and who have done canning which they wish to donate to DMLC. The trips to pick up the donations were made during a period of fifteen days and were carried out by student volunteers. Donations of home canned apples, other rruus, jellies, and vegetables amounted to 5,684 quarts. Other donations included 214 boxes and sacks of potatoes, 129 boxes and sacks of carrots, and 713 cans of purchased vegetables and frults. Also received were quantities of squash, apples, onions, flour, sugar, butter, and lard. The largest donation ora single congregation was 1000 quarts of canned goods, and the second largest donation was 419 quarts of canned goods with 356 quarts of frozen food. Two congregations baked 150 dozen cookies which they brought for student consumption. The total mUes covered on the donation trips were 2,883. The longest round trip made was 373 miles. stops were made as far south as Austin and north as Delano and Glenwood. and as far east as Red Wing and west as Gracevllle and Lake Benton. In all, visits were made to sixty-eight congregations.

Students Official Ring A new oUicla1 DMLC class ring has been chosen for the college. The crest ofthis unique class ring carries a detailed bust of Dr. Martin Luther. The class rings, stone selections, and prices are now on display in the bookstore. The Josten ring representative will take orders in the auditorium on Wednesday, November 30, 1966, from 1:00 - 2:30 p.m, DMLC alumni also will be able to order a class ring with their graduation date. In accord with the spirit of thanksgiving, a Misslo Deioollection wUl be taken. Students wlll be given an opportunity to contribute to the collection taken after chapel on Wednesday, November 23, 1966. A change has been eUected in the free-time policy tor college freshmen and sophomores. The free - time previously scheduled from 9:30 - 10:00 p.m. proved to be too short at the Student Union. Thus, the free-time was extended from 9:30-10:30 p.m,

Service for Palmhach Prof. Harry Palmbach, reUred member ofthe DMLCfaculty, departed this lUe on Wednesday, November 9, at the age of 75. On Monday, November 14, a special memorial service was held In both high school and college chapels. Services were conducted by Pres. Siegler.

Once upon a time, in the Grammar Forest, there lived a four letter word and his three letter cousin. This four letter word was a perfectly respectable word, and he enjoyed life In his orderly forest. The Uttle word didn't ha ve a lot of work to do, but he managed to keep busy. This was because his work load was carefully regulated by the Union of Syntax.

Since this system has been adoptedby the schoollet us complyin a spirit of cooperation by showingour lunchcards at eachmeal. Nothing can be gained by refusing to showthe card. It has been suggested that one plastic-coated identification card with the picture ofthe individual on it, be used as a general purpose lunchand activity card. So far the systemhas worked fairly well and is continually improving, thanks to the willingness and cooperationon the part of the student body. RUTH HUEBNER

The traditional objective test exists on every campus and confronts each collegiate, but what does It really accomplish. Thlnk'ing and learning are sacrificed for memorizing. Creativity Is downgraded. It Is surprising how obscure names and unimportant facts pop up In one of these tests. What does It prove to circle the right answer, black out a numeral, and put a check In the right square? What accompllshotent can be obtained by choosing the correct reign of Louis IX, the exact number of bones In the human body, and the like? searching questions don't fit Into the format of the objective test. As many students have already experienced, the one rtght answer Isn't always a simple, clear-cut matter. The student Is faced with several answers that are partly true and has the opportunity to pick the "rightest" one.' How many of us simply guessed the answers Instead of trying to reason them out? "Educated guessing" may develop. Elimination of wrong answers and the narrowing down of choices Is one method commonly employed. Spotting a pattern may be another one. Feeling giddy, one can pick the one that suits his fancy, and may do surprisingly well by guessing. In the essay test, random guessing simple doesn't work. Padding and snowIng, call It what you like, (filling your work with irrevelant facts and broad generalities) still may seep Into the essay test, but this Is difficult te do well. The percepnve professor will easily note the abscence of basic facts and dstatts, In the long run the essay test Is more difficult than the objective test both In writing and In grading. The test Is more valid however, prodding you Into contrast!ng, evaluating, assimilating, and sum .. marlzlng Ideas and concepts. You must see the facts In relation to one another. The test Is educatlonall The test may register negatively for the student who cannot express himself. The time element Is also another factor to consider. Could -the soluUon be a short_answer test or a combination essay and short answer? Confusion could be cleared If such was employed. The student would not be limited to think In terms of the professor's mind and mold his mind to the same frequency.

Junto Ponders Draft, UFO On October 27, the Junto Club had a meeting centered on the topic "The Draft Today and Its Possthle Changes". Wilma Holz revealed many facts concerning the draft. It was begun In 1940 under the Universal Mllltary and TrainIng Service Act. At the present, one sixth of all of the eligible men In our country are drafted. The main reason for this Is the war In Viet Nam. Wilma pointed out thatthe draft may be considered undemocratic and unfair because It does not Include everyone. College men, the rich who are able to attain government jobs, those people who obtain false forms, and other draft dodgers, whether legitimate or not, aU es ... cape. Rita Bremer followed by presenting several solutions for the draft problem. She related the Pentagon Report of June 30, 1966, which stated that teenagers aged eighteen and older be chosen with those In the nineteen to twenty - one age bracket having priority, and the Eisenhower Plan, which advocated universal mllltary training. That is, every male, upon high school graduation would enter mllltary service for a forty-nine week training period; there would be very few deferments. Another Idea Introduced was that of drafting women. Another JWlto meeting was held on Novemb~r, 17, In which Tom Buege and Ron Kallles presented a report on unidentified tlylng objects (UFO's). A brief history of UFO'S dating back to the ancient cultures of the Mayans and Biblical times was given by Tom. He also reported on accounts of strange disappearance which have been attributed to UFO's. Ron presented documented cases of accounts where UFO's had actually been sighted; for example, the case reported In October. 1965 near Long Prairie, Minnesota. A discussion followed In which explanations and theories for both the pro and con of these mysterious objects were presented,

Team Debates Foreign Policy There are seven members on this year's debate team. Their faculty advisor. Professor Schroeder, meets with them twice a week for lectures, to formulate cases, and for intersquad debates. DMLC's team belongs to the Twin CIties Debate League (TDCL) and comes Into tough competition with teams from the U. of M., Duluth, Macalester, st. Thomas, and Bethany College among others. November 8, was their first tournament. Prof. Koelpln went with them to Minneapolis as a judge. The national topic this year Is resolved: that the United States should ·substantlally reduce Its foreign policy commitments. Our team's basic case is need. Do we need troops in Germany?Or do we need to be In Viet Nam? Having a case Isn't enough, The negative side must be ready for anything. They met one team that used the gold standard Is being maintained, we should not be In Viet Nam, and the U.N. is a useless organization, as parts of their affirmative case.

GRIGORI Smlrnov (Harry Mears) airs his opinions of women to Helena Popov (Barb Kuhn) while Luka (Ralph Mozach) the servant, looks on.

LLL Critique Old you enjoytheplays?What are some of your comments regarding the plays as to suitability, acting, production, audience response, etc.? These are just two of the questions asked by this reporter of the various people In the audience the nights of the Drama Club's fall productions, November 11 and 12If you were not among the 325 in attendance, here's a short resume of the plays. The tall productions this year were two one...act plays, "Rid_ ers To The Sea" by John M. Synge and "The Boor" by Anton Chekov. "Riders To The Sea" is a drama of an old Irish woman named Maurya (JUdy Wahi) who loses her seven sons and her husband In the sea. When her last son Bartley (Jonathan Rupprecht) drowns In the sea, Maurya feels there Is nothing left for her. The two daughters played by Sue Leyrer and Nancy Geisler try In vain to console the old woman. In the last lines of the play, Maurya gives her philosophy of life for the rest of the living world, UNo man at all can be living forever, and we must be satisfied." In contrast to this play Is "The Boor" - a comedy-farce. In this playa Russian "man-ofthe - world" named Grlgorl Smlrnov, played by Harry Mears, intrudes upon the mourning period of Helena Popov (Barb Kuhn). Her servant Luka (Ralph Mozach) tries to get rid of the Intruder but falls. Helena then stands her ground against Smlrnov who thinks he knows all about women. A heated discussion follows In which man and woman hattle over the question of which sex Is better. But In the end, both yield to love. Now that the general Idea of the plays have been presented, let's look at your criticisms. uWell directed ••• " "A nice Job. ."

Time Out

BARRY Wlerschke and Dick Slattery, two new Lancers, work out In a practice session.

Spotlight on Hoops, Ball Rebounding, screen left, double-wing, and I've got him," these are some of the sounds that Issue from our gymnasium of late. You ask yourself, uWhat can all this mean?" It means our mighty Lancers have taken to the hard-courts again and have begun practice In ernest for the coming basketball season. Coaches Dallmann and Mlcheel are hard at It again. So are several of your classmates. Close on the heels of another well-played soccer season, our boys are now drib!lng with their hands Instead of with their feet. We have a good nucleus returning this year with many seasoned Luther hoopsters at It for the last goaround. Co-captain Dale Walz, Jim Duehlmelr John Tjnernagel. Jack Gronholz, Gordy Vetter, Terry Vasold, Dale Fink, Gary Wille, and E ric Lange all return as veterans of the hardcourts and the battles of the hoops. Added to these men are many newcomers with much talent. It all adds up to a pretty strong team and perhaps a very good season. This year the Lancers will .tlck with their usual one - three - one ottense and the running game that most of their loyal followers enjoy seeing. Again It will be a year where we will be hurt by lack of height, but In which we hope to make up for that lack with our strength In speed and spirit. A really winning team would be a very welcome sight on the hlll after many years of average or below average performance. This Is the year for that team. It wUl be a year of excitement, as witnessed last year. It wUl be a year of fun and team spirit. To the coaches and the men that make up the mighty Lancer team, good luck and

let's run!

Summing Up

Are you looking for something to do? Are you sick and tired of those books and studying? Is your system filled up with the humdrum world of school lUe? Is that your problem, buddy? Well, cheer up because In just a few short, beautUul, cloudfilled days, basketball returns to DMLC for Its annual run. And wbat a run this year's Is going to be! Our Lancers are here to fight, and according to their coach, are here to take a shot at the conference title. Now, analyze for 'yourselves what it would take to win the SMJCC title. It would mean hard work on the part of coach and staff. It would mean a Lancer team that plays and thinks like a unit. And perhaps what Is more Important for you and me, a cheering crowd at every game, firmly backing the Lancers. Last year we had that spirit. Although the scoreboard was not always in our favor, and although things did not always go the way we wanted them to go, we were always proud to say, "We're proud of our team." It was a_great feeling to be a member of a crowd of male' who came to the game to cheer. It was great to feel the wonderful spirit that filled the gymnasium to the rafters. But this Is a dUferent year and a different crowd, or is it? Many new faces will be in that crowd, but can't the same wonderful spirit flll that same wmnaslum. There wlIf be a new basketball team taking the court, but they will feel the need of that spirit just the same as did last year's team; can we give It to them? MY answer is yes, what is yours?

Soccer Now that It Is allover, let's take a final look at this year's soccer season and team. As the season began, we were able to !leld a fairly seasoned and veteran team. Many seniors were on the front !lne and both coach and team looked forward to another good season. This was a year of ups and of downs for our Lancer soccer team. At Urnes they were great, and It was fun to watch a team so !llled with that tradtttonal spirit, but at other times they did not look as good. ThIs was the first year that our soccer team was foreed to leave the field with a loss under Its belt. It was a year that saw a someUmes Ineffective offense and a poor defense. It was a year when the coach had to change the basic offensive formation his team ran, It was a year for the shifting of lines and of the loss of the conference title, but waslta bad year? In many respects it was a. good year. Much new talent was found among the freshmen and newcomers to the team. Some records were broken. The new offense at times was very great. The defense looked good during the second hal! of the season. I thtnk that this Lancer team was as good, If not better, than any team we have been able to field. It was hurt by some bad breaks, but, like any good team will, It -was able to bounce back and come through with another winning season. One should always keep In mind tha tlf he has a winning team and a conference title, everyone In that conference Is going to be "gunning" for him the next year. Speaking of the new year, the Lancer team' of 1967 wUllosemanyoftheexperlenced players of 1966, butlt also wUl return to the field with the same drive that thts club had. To Coach Dallmann andhis players, congratnlatlons on a job well done, and best of luck next year!

Being campus "orphans," that is without house mother or ('fathers," the seniors, most of whom live off campus, decided to have a class party Instead ofattending dorm parties. The plan proved highly successful.

But there Is news for the class.

It seems that every year at Christmas time students fUled with the spirit of Christmas take joy in decorating their rooms. In order that others might enjoy the enthusiasm of these students, it has been traditional to hold open house onthe Sunday before Christmas vacation. This year open house was on

December 11th from 4:00 to 5:30 in the afternoon. Usually an extra-spectal house cleaning project is undertaken and almost everyone attempts to adda bit ofthe Christmas season to the doors. walls, ceilings and living quarters in general.

Athlete's Foot Notes The Question Box gave me only one question I felt was worthy of printing. "What exactly Is meant by a one-three-one?". This offensive formation gets Its namefrom the postdons of the players on the floor. There Is usually one man under the basket. His posltlon Is called "low post." He usually does his scoring on short shots or lay ups. At the start of the season, Jim Duehlmeier was playing this position. The three of the onethree-one are the following:The two outside men are called wings, and, do theIr scoring either on longer shots or drlveIns. Dale Walz, Jack Gronholz, and Gordy Vetter have been trading off the responslbUlty of this position. The middleman of the three is called the high post. This position bas been held down very well by fresh-

man Dick Slattery. He does much of his shooting from the top of the free-throw lane. The last postnon, but perhaps the most Important Is the front man or "point" mao. He is theonewhogets things started every time the ball Is brought down court. He passes, and sets up the plays that can make or break a team. Gordy Vetter, Jack Gronholz, and Dale Walz have been trading off at the "point" depending on who' brings the ball downcourt. This offense Is made for the fast and short squad that lives to run.' That's what we have, and so Coach Dallmannchooses to run this basic formation. Have you taken careful note of the fact that the Lancers play their best ball whenthey run against the other team? Sometimes this formation makes for many fioor mistakes, but it al_ ways gives the rans an interesting game to watch.

Students Select Oteerleaders

The student body, by a point system, chose from ten candidates, Ruth Schroeder, Joan Trapp, RhondaDallmann,ChriS Zahn and Chris Schultz as the collegiate cheerleaders for the coming season. Tryouts were held In the gymnasium at 7:15 p.m., November 14. A point system of I, 2, 3, 4, 5 was used to evaluate the following'aspects: pep,coordination, personallty, jumps, kicks, appearance, and group coordination. Each oandidate ll'!rformed an Individual series of jllmPS, a kick, an Indlv1d1lalcmier, and a group cheer. Pep Club chairman Paul WachOlz,commented, "Despite aU the nervousness on behalf of the candidates, they aU gave a splendid show of spirit and'coordination. Our congratwauons to the top flve."

Tinle Out

DMLC vs. Alumni In a game that is always anticipated by everyone, the youth and speed of our Lancers proved to be too much for the former Luther hoopsters. CoachDallmannchose'togivethe second team a l1ttleexperience, and was quite well pleased with the 106-76Lancer victory. Junior transfer John Lippert had the ''heavy hand" and led aU scorers with 28 points. The game was preceded by the annual bloodbath of the SeniorFaculty hattle. Here also the speed and the youthof the victorious Seniors ran the beloved pedagoguesdownto defeat. Here

One of the to1lghest,jobs for any College CoaChis making his team a unit. He has to work with many cI1tferentfellows from year to year, fellowsthat comefrom manyand varied backgrounds. The coach must take this material and mold it Into a unit that thinks and acts as one. Consequently,I think that it Is high time some of the spectators at our games stop trying to undermine his decision to go with his team. Isn't1tabout time some of us realize we aren't In our dear.old highschool or junior college where Joe Hero did all the scoring? ~ It gets rather Sickeningto hear nothingbut complaints about the starting five the coach pUtson the floor and, to top things off, the chanting, we want Joe Hero, whenthere should be a cheer for the Lancers. Coach knows what he Is doing; after all, that's his job as coach. So far this year he has done a remarkable job with a squad that was to finish In last place according to some predictions. Its not too late to get behind the Lancer team, not just one or two of the players. All are out there trying their hardest to do the best job they are cabable of doing. Class Or state loyalty is a wondertulthingIn its place; bul Its place Is not In the ,cutting apart of a winningball team. After the great start our team has given us, don't you think we ought to gIve them all the whole-hearted team support we can muster? Harry Mears

Broad Horizons?

Some can't even keep these things straight. In a way It's almost humorous, for here we are trying to obtain a liberal arts education, but yet we literally cut ourselves off from the world. But It doesn't have to be this way, and maybe your college life Isn't. One way students can broaden their horizons Is by taking advantage of the lyceum programs presented here Oncampus by the student Services Council. The student Services Coun(Continued on Page 3)

Art Creations Now on Display In Hillview Hall Last September students filled out Collegia te Councll forms designating their interests and experience In various subject areas. A number of people showed an Interest In art. However, the problem was that many people kept their talent hidden, two shy to display their ability. Now from February 8-15 an ari fair Is on exhibit In Hillview basement. Onopeningday, 213 exhibits were contributed by 53 people. There was a wide range of projects entered. Almost every media was represented: pencil and charcoal sketches, water, tempera, and 011 paintings and ceramtcs, to name a few. Beeause of this encouraging response, the art club hopes to make the art fair an annual exhibit.

Who Scrapes or Shovels? Janitors Can Answer That

Collegiate Council has been checking up on all organizations on campus to make certain that all pins and awards have been ordered for the future award night.

He loved Colorado and someday hopes to return. He must have been impressed with the Army; the family pet, a German Shepherd is named uGeneral." Mr. Blomquist has been married three years; his wife's name is Carol.

Why do we have pins and awards? To recognize the time and effort expended by individuals in each organization. Many organizations offer awards just to seniors, acknowledging their contributions to the particular organization. Why not recognize the work and energy spent by underclassmen as well? They work hard, also. "Credit goes where credit is due." Are pins necessary? No. There is a gorwing consensus on campus that pins actually are superfluous. They are a tribute to time and work exerted, yet are usually tossed into a drawer or jewelry box after the charm has worn off. Certificates are just as suitable. Several organizations on campus have changed to using certificates. One organization has even considered terminating the use of any award. Why be rewarded for a volunteer task? Do you join an organization hoping for reward upon graduation? Some organizations find it indispensable to award pins. Therefore it might be well for every organizatior. to weigh the value and worth of awarding pins' or other types of merits with tile tradition of giving awards. R. Huebner

MR, Blomquist takes time out from chipping ice for a pose. One common sight since our return from Christman vacation has been that of several men busily cracking, chipping, and scraping ice from the many sidewalks on campus. Many of us who had unfortunate experiences on the "before" more than appreciate the "after" of their labors. Mr. Roger Blomquist was happy to see we cared, too, when he read that thoughtful sign on the «sound off" board, "Help save our janitors." Before Mr. Blomquist

These demonstrations do I remember that if we had a "special no good for our country's prestige among friend" we gave him an extra special foreign nations.

When we stop and think of this part of our population, we may begin to feel very pessimistic. There is, however, another side to this story. The demonstrators and the draft dodgers, though we may notice them the most, are actually only a minority group. There are draft dodgers, but there are also over 40,000 military men fighting in Southeast Asia. Although no one really wants a war, the majority of the population is willing to support the decisions of our president. In February, we celebrate the birthdays of two of our great presidents, Abraham Lincoln and George Washington. On these days it would be good for us to reflect upon our countr ys" heritage. U all of us would do this, I'm sure we would become better citizens; less ready to critic ize and more willing to support our United StatE's.

To a group of young pe0ple, known as the Lutheran Collegians, It meant that they felt It to be their privilege and responsibIlIty to teach the little children ofthe slum areas of Chicago to know their Savior. For the last few years the Lutheran Collegians have sponsored a vacation Bible school for the Negro and Puerto Rican children Uving in the neighborhood of St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Chicago.

Howdid the human mindortgtnate? Howdobiologyand chemistry explain how man learns, remembers, and experiences emotion? Will science ever produce a machine to equal the functions of the human mind? These were some of the questions discussed at the 1967Nobel Conference at Gustavus Adolphus College on January 11th and 12th. Attending the conference were representatives of SOme 39 colleges and high schools. From DMLC three seniors, Lenny Collyard, Larry Joecks, and Kathy Lawrenz, and two college professors, Prof. Schulz and Prof. Sivert, had the privilege of attending the conference lectures. This year's Nobel Conference was the third of Its kind in an on-going program sponssared by the members of the Nobel Foundation. It Is the intention of the Nobel Foundation annually to holda conference on the Gustavus Adolphuscampus, a conference which Is centered on a science-based Issue to be discussed by top scientists and leading thinkers of the world. The theme for the conference this year was "The Human Mind." Six men, renowned in the ftelds of medicine, neurobiology, science, and philosophy, were carefully selected to deliver slgn1f1cantand thoughtprovoking lectures. Even though the technical Jargon and refined sclentlf'Ie concepts were a bit bewildJ<>ringat times, the conference proved to be a worthy endeavor. It achieved Its primary purpose, namely, to make those in attendance aware of what science has uncovered about the human mind and into what area research Is being directed. Two days of lectures unfolded amazing facts about the function of the human mind. For Christians such scientific discoveries point to the wonderful way in which God made man. Many scientists, of course, look instead to evolutionary theories for causes, but in this respect, the conference revealed one encouraging fact. In the world today some of the leading scientists are humble enough to admit the unaccountable gaps in the evolutionary process. as future teachers an opportunity to see what can be done in developing musical talent In school children. Likewise this will be an opportunity for the orchestra members to see our campus and join in our campus life.

Phlogistons Hear Science Lectures Glacier National Park was the subject of a movie-lecture given Friday, Jp"luary27,1967. The speaker for the occasion was Mr. Mallmann, instructor of science at Fox Valley Lutheran High School, Appleton, Wisconsin. The movie was taken by Mr. MalllI'ann during a trip he and his famUy made to the famous park. In the movie, Mr. Mallmann pointed out many spots to which the normal tourist would not go. The trip was mainly an archeological ex~ursion in which Mr.

Mallmann was trying to gather information and tacts to refute the theory of evolution. In the business meeting, the Phioglstons voted to hold an annual Science Smorgasbord in which each of the members demonstrates a science stunt to the audience. It was also decided to hold the annual Science Fair here at Dr. Martin Luther College. All grade school, high school, and college stUdents who have an exhibit are welcome to enter this fair.

Time Out Despite the very uncomfortable condlUons It has caused both spectators and ptayers, our present Inadequate gymnasium has been the scene of a successful season thus far. The fans are to be commended for their perseverance and their support. The team has responded very well and has provided the fans with many thrills with Its outstanding teamwork and spirit. But this season of basketbaJI again has pointed out the great necessity of a new gymnasium for DMLC. A playing floor the size of ours Is a handicap for both teams. A team that has been praetfclng On a large floor finds It difficult to adjust Its style of play to a small court. Contrary to popular bellet, the Lancers are not always at an advantage on their home court. Only one-half of the games are played at home; therefore, the Lancers are continually adjusting to larger playing floors. Circumstances are dictated by the size of the court. The growth of the student body also demands the need for added seating capacity for the games. Prellmlnary grade school games attract parents and many other fans who many times stay for the college games, These games should have an Important fUnction In promoting both sportsmanship and Into rest In DMLC as a Christian institution. Next year larger and better facilities w1J1be avallable to us In our new gymnasium facmty. In spite of problems, It Is gratifying to see the turnout for the games this year. We are one of the few teams In Minnesota that can say that we have a full house for every game. Let us hope that we can say the same next year.

The Lancers rounded off the first half of action above the coveted live hundred mark with a 7 -6 record. Anoka-Ramsey, a new JC from the Cities, started the second half action on our home court. Mel Northway, former Minnesota Gopher star coached his team to a narrow 99-92 victory over the hustling Lancers. Dick Slattery, Dale Walz, and Jack Gronholz once again paced the Lancer scoring attack. The Rochester Yellow jackets, currently rated 10th in the na , tion and sporting a 19-0 record, were the next opposition for the DMLC quintet. Playing on their home court, the highly touted Yellowjackets outscored and outplayed the challengers in almost every phaseof the game. The final score read 125-95. Dale Walz paced the Lancers with 18 points. Worthington paid a visit to the DMLC campus to do bat , tle with the Lancers. Seeking revenge for a previous loss to

Band Ensemble Tuning Up For Another Concert

Choir Will Travel To Several States During the coming Easter va.cation, the DMLC Choir wlll mark the 450th anniversary of the Reformation by again holdIng a concert tour. This wlll be the third year In a row that a tour has been made; traditionally, tours are conductedevery other year.

Rotation Basis The area covered this year wlll be mostly In Wisconsin and Michigan, with one stop apiece In Illmots, Ohio,and Minnesota. This Is pa rt of a rota tlon set up In order to cover the various areas In which Wisconsin Synod churches are concentrated. The tour Itself, during which the choir will make 17 appearances, wlll encompass nearly 2200 miles, while over 1000 additional miles wlll be added to the ledger In 14 week end and evening appearances before

and after Easter vacation in nearby Minnesota.churches and schools.

Costs $4000 Prof. Delmar Brick, cnotr manager and tour arranger, estimated the cost of the entire tour at approximately $4000; this Is expected to be amply covered by offerings at concerts. Any surplus which may result this year will be apPU~.Jo-l.funHor ~.n~wKl"3.IId , l"..::no· t..,.f the AdJ:llnistration Building auditorium. The number of singers comprising the touring choir, 62, will necessitate using two

Greyhound buses. To be sure that no choir members wlll be left behind, each person wlll be assigned to a, bus, and each name wlll be checked off a list before each departure, Other systems of operation for tour Include a gowncommittee, which has been assigned the responslblllty for handing out and receiving all gowns; and a riser crew, an alternatIng group from the male section responsible for setting up and taking down, loo.dlng and unloa.dingrisers.

Preache€ Gospel The purpose of the concerts Is to preach the Gospel through song. At the same time, Prof. Mellalm Zahn, choir director, also stressed that by presentIng a tour of concerts the choir acquaints many people with the college, Its functionandIts purpose, and serves to recruit future students, Much of this Is done by the choir members In the homes at which they stay and through the people they meet. It Is also done in the concerts themselves by one of.

the male choir members who gives a short talk on DMLC.

Extra Benefit A fringe benefit of the tour to choir members Is the opportunity atr()rded them of seeIng many ofour Synod's churches and schools, in which some of the students may be working In a. few months or years,

Once again the band In black will demonstrate the advantages of specialization In a small group as opposed 10 dupllcatlon in a large band. This means that for the most part only one individual plays a particular instrument and part. Such an arrangement provides for greater clarity of parts and gives each member a better chance to express his talent.

THESPIANS AT WORK

~MiracleWorker' Presented Portrays Trials Of Handicapped The Luther Literary league presented WUUam GIbson's three act play, "The Miracle Worker," on March to, 11 and 12. "The Miracle Worker" is principally concerned with the emottonal relaUonshlp between the lonely teacher, Anne Sull1van, and her bUnd charge, Helen Keller.

Two·Level Set The set design comprised two levels. The Uving roomdlning room of the Keller hOme was set on the first level, Anne and Helen's bedrooni on the second. Lighting changes depicted the various scenes instead of changes in settings. Set designer was Stu Hellwig

Two other groups have also gone out during the month of February. One group, which Included HedyWeiSS,Ken Rahn, Jolene Drooscher, and Paul Jacobs, motored to Plymouth, Nebraska, for a week end to speak at a special mission service and program planned by St. Paul's of Plymouth. The other group spoke for a church group at St. Timothy Lutheran Church In MinneapoUs. That group was made up of Mary !bisch, Edith Ziekuhr, Bruce Karger, and CharUe (Lynn) Kuether. The Speakers' Corps wlll be active throughout the semester, as the Corps not only is involved with the promotion of DMLC through these trips, but also arranges entertainment when congrega.tlonal organizations such as PTA's, ladies aids, etc., ask for entertainment from the college. The professor in charge of the Speakers' Corps Is Prof. Brick. The student chairman is Mr. Carl Natzke.

Varied Cast The cast Included the followIng: Kathy Albrecht, Sue Kolosick and Tom Slegler, seniors; Carol Endresen, Lois Hahm, and Mary lblsch, juniors; Arthur Wessels, sophomore; Iavid Wendler,- freshman. The chUdren are Karllyn andMarlbeth Hanke, Gretchen and Susan HartWig, Sara Schulz, and Robert Jensen.

THE entire cast andthe directors of the "Miracle Worker." The children comefrom professors' families. and Dennis steinbrenner was in charge of lighting. Tutor Karl Peterson directed the play with Ruth Peikert as student director. The play was presented by special arrangement with the Samuel French Company of New York. Kathy Albrecht prepared for !he role of Helen by spending

New Ulm, Minnesota

a day at the Minnesota state School for Visually Handicapped Children In Faribault besides blindfoldingherself and stuffing cotton In her ears. Mary lbisch Interprets the role of the teacher, Anne. Mary has had previous experience In several other roles she has undertaken.

Mission Ideas For Classroom To Be Offered This year's college juruor; senior Mission Workshop is scheduled for April 7. The theme reflects a practical approo.ch: "Missions lo the class-

room." In the morning by three presentations the juniors will offer the teacher's role in missions. The seniors will show the child's role In two presenta., tions in the afternoon. Miss Marietta Meyer, a. practice tea.chlng supervisor from St. Paul's, New Ulm, andanother guest speaker will be featured. The Information presented during the daywill be organized Into a booklet containing such items as bulletin boa.rd Ideas, correlation between missions and other subjects, Scripture references relating to missiOns, and a. selected Ust of available f1lms, sUdes, and pamphiets on missions.

Editorial This year has been a year of changes onour campus.Wehave a newpresident, somenewprofessors, new rules, newprocedures, and a newbuildingunder present construction. One changeinparticular appreciated by all collegiates was the extension of "evening hours" on both weekdays and weekends. Althoughthis was a welcome change, a few things still need to be ironed out. We might well ask ourselves, is everyone using the privilege of extension wisely? But is it fair for some people to be able to stay out as longas theywish, while others, having the same privilege and same general reason for needinganextension, are presented withatime limit? A problem, amongthe girls, is the questionofhours required of them whenbabysitting. People generally stay out later on weekends,sothebabysitter gets in later. As babysitting is a major contributing source of income for many girls, they welcome the chance to babysit. This makes it hard for the matron, whowaits up for the girls. Would it be possible to furnish keys for thesegirls,givingeach a key whenshe leaves and having her return it when she comes in? Or else, could some of the girls take turns at the desk on weekends and wait up for the babysitters? Either way the matron wouldn't have to wait up for the girls herself. In general the newrules have been gratefullyacknowledged by the students andhavebeenwellfollowed. There have been no major problems, but the minor inconsistencieshave oftenirritated various individuals. By considering some goodsuggestions perhaps those inauthority could iron the little problems.

AS SPRING UNFOLDS IN SPLENDOR

Disease' Str-ikes Campus

(-Heart

Dig out your brightest bermudas and flash on your sunglasses.

After all, there

are only seven days until spring bursts In with full array. But beware! Along with It will come the crippling heart disease Spring Fever! As past years have shown, the dlsea.se really strikes hard at DMLC. One student remarked, "You just would not believe the change In everyone, especially the boys. When spring rolls around, they open their eyes to the nicer things in life - girls. But since some are so scared of even approaching the opposite sex, the professionals in the dorm have written

an easy-to-rollow guide for getting dates. Here are some of the trade secrets of O.U.R.A.T. - The Oldest Union Representing Ardent Teachers:

(I) THE GALLANTAPPROACH:

In this method, the man spots a girl who Is having a. bit of trouble plowing through the slush to classes, He graciously approaches

her

and says,

"l would

be happy to car ry you across that puddle, Hilda." Please note: Do not attempt this on any big Bertha. Results have proved disastrous In several slippery cases.

(2) THE CLEVER APPROACH:

For this attack, the man must have a great deal ofpatience. Eachday he watches what time the girl comes to lunch. t;IYIY he times It so he will also come at the same time and be able to

next to her.

To make It appear less obvious, he will not speak to her during the meal, but as soon as she Is ready to leave, he wllJ make some brilliant remark such as, "I never thought you could eat all thatf" This method might not get him too far, but at lea.st It will show the girl tha~ she Is being noticed, and she might say something to him In return. It might not be very nice, but It will be something. *<3)THEHARD-TO-GETAPPROACH: This last technique needs the most tlnesse, but Is guaranteed to bring superb results If followed correcUy. First of all, the man must try to be a real swinger, one who knows how to get around girls in more ways than one. He makes a big Impression by wearing the latest fashions, being friendly to everyone, and paying special attention to the girl In whom he is Interested. As soon as the girl flips over him, he utterly Ignores her and starts filrflng

with someone else. ThiS, of course, creshe even volunteers Iron his shirts ates jealously and at the Student Union for him. This Is really a great deal and gloats over the way she keeps watching him the crowning goal of all the approaches, Actually, these suggestions seem to out of the corner of her eye. Eventually, however, he decides to make the guys appear rather sneaky and give the poor girl a break and after selfish. But these same Ideas can also be walking her back to the dorm, gives her found In another book, the girls' handbook, the chance "to type up a big term paper entilled, "How to Win BOYSand 1nfluenee for her sweetheart." 9le is so thrilled, People!"

IN PROGRESS This detail of the northwest corner of the campus shows the relationship of the new Gymnasium-Student Union-Refectory Building to other campus buildings, plus showing a few other developments. The road running between the girls' dorm, Hillview Hill, and the new building will eventually become the main campus entrance, and the present one, coming in from the left of the drawing north of Hillview Hall will become parking space. The parking area shown between Highland Avenue and the gymnasium will accommodate 72 automobiles.

The top drawing shows the front view of the building as seen from the northwest end of the Administration Building. As one enters here he may either take a short central stairway up to the student union, or take stairs flanking either side of this central staircase down to the refectory. If one chooses to go upstairs, the first object to catch his eye will be a large mosaic mural of a Lancer, the DMLC mascot, donated by the college class of 1966. This mural stands in the middle of a concourse leading to the main lounge in the rear of the building. On the right side of this concourse, behind C on the drawing, will be postal facilities, including a mailbox for every student. To the right of this, D on the drawing, will be a game room and a TV lounge. In front of the post office will be a meeting room, C. To the left of the central concourse, lavatories will be located, and to the left of them will be the canteen, A, which will seat up to 72 people and will be open during the entire day. Finally, in front of the lavatories will be a periodical and newspaper room, B. Sections A and D are set back from the front of the building, giving it a three-dimensional front. --

Following the songiest were the class skits wherein the college seniors topped honors willi

their "Fractured Luthertale." The Collegiate Council has approved two new policies concerning the SnowCarnival. The first policy Is that after a specific week for the SnowCarnival has been set, there will be no alternate date, thus, eliminating the necessity of rescheduling the entertainment and activities. The second poIIcy concerns the new rating system for judging the snow sculptures and skits: snow sculPtures - 3, skits - 2.

Follows Fashion While the girls probe through the magazines, attend style shOWS,and dent bank accounts with the expense of their new wardrobes, fathers throughout tile country sit and watch In amazement, wondering what

mania has so moved their daughters. Actually It Is not such a strange phenomenon a.t all, but merely an attempt on tile part of each girl to study tile qualifications for and to Imitate what Is vaguely described as the Ideal college student. Somehowalong the years, the emphasiS for such an Ideal girl has been placed on knowing the

exact number of Inches a skirt should be above the knee and the proper way to act during "rushIng" week. Whilesuch information will help toproduce a welldressed, well_mannered young lady, It lacks other qualltles essential before anyone comes close to that paragon of college life.

Does Her Best One quality that far transcends fashion In defining the Ideal student Is scholarship. While some mlghtlnterpret this as studying, cramming; and even cheating In order to finIsh a semester with honors, the Ideal student's concept of scholar shtp consists of conscientiously doing her best work throughout the entire semester. Not only does thls Involve completion of research papers and preparation for exams, but It also requires dlllgent dally preparation so that she can be a well-Informed participant In class discussion.

Fun to Know While this Ideal student takes pride In her studies, she would never become so preoccupied with books that they become her sole companions. Drama.t1cs, athletics, jouruallsm, and student government are areas In which she might apportion her free time, be It as an active participant or as an Interested spectator. In either case, her

enthusiasm and school spirit will make her a joy to work with and a pleasure to have around.

Shows Courage Firmly believing on the savior, the Ideal student w1ll,by all of her actions, serve as a witness for Christ. When the moral standards of the campus begin to show signs of decay, It Is she who sets a.proper example for others by her Godpleastng behavior. When the speaker of an assembly tells all who do not think that God Is dea.d to stand, It Is she who wlll have the courage to rtse, When others air social grievances bydemonstration marches and picket lines, It Is she who spends her summer teachIng the underprivileged Negro children of Chicago to know and love their savior.

Reaches High This Ideal student Is quite a remarkable girl! To acquire all of these characteristics takes more than a. knowledge of the contents of Seventeen. It requires effort, determination, conviction, and prayer. Even with all of these, It must be reallzed that, because of man's sinful nature, no one w1ll achieve this status perfectly, and yet, It Is an Ideal for which ea.ch student must continually strive. - Cberyl Moeller

Due To Building, School To Start Later Next Fall The 1967-68 school yearwlll begin on September 18 whenall freshmen and new students wlll register. September 19 Is the registration date for all returning students. On Wednesday·September 20 classes wlll begin. The traditional registration date was Labor Day; however, next year school will begin later to allow time for campus bulldlng programs to be completed. It Is anticipated that parts of the Administration Bullding wlll have been remodeled, and It Is hoped that the gymnasium - cafeteria -refectory will be completed by openIng day. The late start wlll be compensated by shortening the vacations. Mid-semester break and Thanksgiving wlll be combined November 22-November 27. Christmas vacation wlll be from December 19..January 3. Second semester break wlll be February 2-4. Easter vacatlon wlll be Aprll 10-18. Graduation date will be June 7.

Organs Give Shivers To most people an organ is a musical instrument. If It is a pipe organ, It consists of an arrangement of pipes, footpedals, keys, and stops, all of which are present to serve the wlll of the musician as he attempts to create or recreate a musical masterpiece.

Need Courage Wben the unwary student approaches the room in whichsuch an organ is housed, however, and especially If he approaches It with the intention of demonst""tlng his mastery of the instrument to an instructor, the organ ceases to be its usually doclle self and becomes a grinning, flendish monster. startlingly enough, organ instructors never seem to be aware of this transformatlon in organs. The instructors invariably appear calm and unshaken when they enter an organ room. Perhaps they are used to see-

J~to Journeys To Twin Cities A trip to the Cities was the business of the Junto Club in the month of March. Hoping to broaden their education and have a llttie fun in the process, a group of about 40 students left the DMLCcampus onMa.rch 8 at 6:30 a.m. Their destlnation was the Minnesota state capital In st. Paul. The morning's r01Dldof activities Included a. tour of the capital bulldings, a vlslt to the state senate and to a senate committee meetlng.Aiterlunch In the capital cafeteria, the group visited the supreme court. Both Senator Jensen and Representative stone addressed the group. The evening hours were spent enjoying the feature film "The Bible" at the cinerama. The next Junto meeting wlll be on April 6. The topic for that meeting will be announced later.

developed, Professor Blume traced the history of rellglon from the mid-16th Century to the present. He covered such trends as orthodoxtsm, PietIsm, the Enlightenment, and higher crltlctsm, down to neoorthodoxy and "The New Hermeneutical Circle." He discussed the major formulators of these different schools of theology: Hegel, Wellhausen, Kierkegaard, Heldegger, and ruuen,

ing organs that look like monsters and thus are not surPrised, or perhaps they see the instruments terrible grin as a cheerful smlle and fall to recognize the organ to be the monster It actually has become. Whatever the case may be, the student certainly is not deceived. The organ. that has pretended to be his friend all week, that has aided andabetted him In learning to perform the works of the masters, has now, in his hour of greatest need, turned against him.

Act Bravely Because the instructor's face betrays no undue emotion at this POint, the student feels that he also must appear calm and confident. Bravely he enters the den of the monster. Quietly he adjusts the .bench, selects the necessary stops, arranges his music,andprepares to play. Quletly too, the organ has been readying itself for the climatic moment. Summoning all his courage, the student places his hands on the keys and begins. "C" quickly changes places with "B", "G" with "AU, and a wide crack appears between "Sflat" and "C." The pedals plot to trap the player's heels or spread so that his feet can not reach them. Sounds never before heard, except, perhaps, at another lesson, come from the instrument. The Instructor winces and sighs, the student grits bis teeth andbegins again, and the organ grins a wicked grin and moans with sadistlc laughter.

WelcomeEnd TIme passes, and at last the lesson ends. The instructor closes his grade bookand walks out the door. The agony has ended for another week. Before the student·s very eyes the organ changes once more into a musical instrument and sits there as 1nnocenUyas can be unW the next unfortunate student enters Its den. - EDITH ZICKUHR ..

The lyceum speaker showed how today's bellefs are not really modern, but go far back into history. The basic modern errors go back to Adam and Eve. Their problem Is the same as Eve's. Neo-crthodoxy, exislentlal theology, and the Formgeschlchte theory (that the New Testament does not accurately tell us about Christ's life, but merely reflects the tales and the myths which people of the time believed about Him) deny God's Word even as Eve did when Satan tempted her and Adam with "Yea, hath God said?" Modern theology Is also as old as Eve In that It places Its confidence in human reason. Il the Bible disagrees with the reasoning of men, it Is considered wrong. In this way, the modernists become llke God. They write their own theology. Eve took the forbidden fruit because she belleved It would make her as wise as God. To showhowmodern theology

SUCCESSFUL LANCER SEASON

Team Snatches Fifth Place This past basketball season brought a rare occurrence to the DMLC campus: a winning season with a 14-10 mark. The Rochester Yellow Jackets ran over the league and since have advanced to the national finals with a 29-0 record. The Lancers finished fltth In a very tough SMJC Conference. For the second straight year DMLC won the title In the Minnesota River Valley Conference with a 5-1 season. The loss of only three seniors this year means that Coach Dallmann will once again have a strong nucleus to work with next year. Senior Dale Walz hung up his jersey as one of the most prolif1c scorers InDMLC history. Dale finished In the top five In scoring as a freshman and was voted to the AllConference team. Since then he has proceeded to establish

various scoring records. Jim Duehlmeier and John Tjernagel are the other two graduating seniors. Duehlmeier was second to watz In scoring his freshman year and since then has been somewhat plagued by Injuries. Nevertheless, he has aided the club with his hustle and good moves around the basket. Tjernagel also will be sorely missed because of his abUlty to fill In at all positions. John hlt his career high of 28 at Concordia hls sophomore year. This past season was one In which various types of games proved interesting to all the Lancer followers. Dale Walz scored a high of 38 POints against Metropolitan at DMLC. HIgh scoring games such as the two with Austin were very common. Austin won on their home court 131-113 and DMLC won at home 113-105. Another rare occurrence was twoDMLC

victories over arch rival Bethany: 91-78 and 85-84. The Lancers also gave the nationally ranked and unbeaten Rochester squad the scare of the season

when they pushed them to 10497 ballgarne,

Freshman Dick Slattery also added much needed scoring points under the basket. Dick set a new record for Individual scoring Inone season andshould definitely aid the club In years to come. With the use of the newgymnasium next year, the Lancers should have another exciting and prosperous season. The schedule for next year has been established. Because Northeast Metropolitan has been taken Into the SMJCC Conference making eleven schools, it was decided to play a single round robin schedule, Which means that each school will play each other school once, making a total of ten games.

Lancerettes Take To Hardcourt A new first has hit the DMLC campus. College women have formed a basketball team and are playing on an Intercollegiate basis. The women opened up their season at Gusta.vus Adolphus. There they ran Into a veteran squad which showed how Important experience is

The tournament this year was held In con, junction with the SnowCarnival acttvtttes, The SPa.s Five. made up of college sophomores. finished second to the Seniors in regular season play. The final tournament game proved to be very exciting for everyone Involved. The Seniors were looking ror their second straight championship; whereas. the spas Five were fired upfor an upset.

The game started out slow. but the tempo soon picked upto a furious pa ceo Both teams matched baskets throughout the game. A total of 65 fouls were called. which Indicates the enthusiasm put into the game. The Senior's depth paid off In the latter stages of the game. ena.bllng them to eke out an 8179 victory. Merl Kruse andBob Hill paced the Senior's attack. and Mark Akers and DaveNass led tbe well-rounded scoring pace for the spas Five. This game was Indicative Of the spirit and enthusiasm displayed by all the teams throughout the entire season.

How many players make up a basketball team? Many people to this question. This answer is totally incorrect. Most coaches know from the first tryout how many boys will be carried on the roster. Whena coach picks ten or fifteen hoys to make a team, he must be w1llingto work with all these boys to mold them Into a. unit exhibiting "espirlt de corps". Developing a feeling of unity goes along with producing a.winning attitude. It Is safe to say that more games have been lost off the fioor than on the court. One of the greatest enemies of a team is dissension. Dissension denotes lack of unity in some respect. Many different forms of disunity are posstblc and are usually unnoticed by the fans. The main cog of the machine work of a team is usnally the coach. It Is his task not only to produce winning clubs but also to produce harmony among the players. Without this harmony Win_ ning games is very difficult. The boys on the bench are just as Important to the team as the five on the floor. Their support of the rest of the team gives the boys on the floor a big boost. Contrary to popular belief. the reserves serve a more Important service to the team than givIng the regulars a tough time In practice, A skirmish during practice usually indicates Intense spirit, but feelings are never carried off the floor, This Is another one of the important functions of a coach; his only role in a skirmish should be as mediator. Players must respect each other. This respect is one of tbe most important qualities of a team. Teamwork Is and must be based on respect hoth self respect and respect for others.

"Hansel and Gretel" To Be Presented

It seems that lite Is an easy matter for no one these days. In the forests "of Germany a small tamUy Is starving because the good fairy of that particular forest has disappeared. To make matters worse, the lltUe famUy can't forget their troubles. The stepmother does her ,est to make lite miserable. Poor Ernst gets terribly upset when Katrln hatches a wicked plan to abandon his chUdren, .,---lfa.Dsel~,GreJel, to.!be un-_, caring wUes of~iheforest. But this Is only the beginning of an exciting, suspenseful, humorous episode which every one wUl most certainly want to see. Soon the chance wUl come when ChUdren's Theatre presents "Hansel and Gretel" to one adu}.t:.~,~~nce on campus as we,ll' as 'furee children's perforAMn~~s here. The group

wUl also travel to Onalaska to present It to the children Inthat area. Children's Theatre wouldlike to take this opportunity to express a sincere "thank you" to the large number of people who tried out for the play and to wish an extra dose of good luck to those who made It. Steve Dankert was chosen to play Ernst, the father. carol Klrshke will do her best to become the wicked stepmother. Hansel's alias Is Paul

His pieces range from preBach through Romantic and contemporary, including such examples as .,Alleln In der Hoh sei Ehr" by J. S. Bach and "Souve~," "c.an«?n," and

"Carillon,"

Editorial Recently the college juniors and seniors sponsored a mission fair. All the work and effort exerted by these two classes culminated in an all-encompassing program relating tc missions and the classroom. College III and IV are to be commended for a job well done. Several reflecting thoughts have been sifting among the students recommending that the mission fair be held every other year. Why? Programs held every two years would guard against redundancy in consecutive programs. Depending on the presentations, topics might prove repetitious to a class attending mission fairs two years in a row. Then there also is the question of enthusiasm. Will students tire of missions fairs year after year? Will they want to work for a program year after year? Can mission work lend itself to a sufficient number of different approaches to merit yearly presentations? Many students do not think so. They suggest that a mission fair held every two years would help to keep these problems from arising. No matter how often or how seldom the mission fair is held, it is necessary that its importance and value be realized by each individual student. Indifference toward work and toward attendance is an easy attitude into which to slide. Each and everyone of us must be on guard lest he falls prey to carelessness, indifference, and neglect. Not only are we future teachers, but we are also future missionaries - missionaries in the classroom. Here we will carryon the work of Christ. It is thus fitting that we all support the mission fair on campus, to aid us in the preparation for our future calling, to help us to know and to be able to carry out mission work. Ruth Huebner

Besides, we were so busy we didn't think about anything but how early to set our alarms or where we could next reload our hot water pistols. There was plenty todo. SOme of us played cards (cribbage was really popular for the two-seat style of riding we did), some read, some really determined corresponders tried to write letters, some even did homework, and, of course, there were always atew sleepers. Not many escaped an occasional late night with an interesting host or at least one party. Those unfortunate slumberers were perfect targets tor the choir's secret organization, waterplstol Packers of the World. The strategy of this organization was really crafty. It consisted of two rules: (1) try to get the bus driver to stop for as many "reloads" as you can; (2) be sure you don't soak a fellow pistol-packer. It could be drlppingly disastrous! Anyway,as future teachers and responsible men and women, we were even

quite mature at times. A typical day, which started pretty early in general, demanded a lot of co-operation and good Judgment.Of course, so manydetails were taken care of by our director Professor Zahn and our business manager Professor Brick that we needed only two committees, for gownsand risers, to respond to the ringing command, "Functionl" Each congregation was ready for us with delicious meals and more than adequate accommodations for the night. Maybe it would be easiest to tell you howwell we ate by weighingthe choir before andafter tour. Each morning we were offered eggs, cereal, toast, coffee-cake, juice. fruit. coffee, milk, etc. by our considerate host. For lunch we either ate at a church or from another big sack lunch prepared by our anxious hosts. At first everything was finished off, but after a"Whlle even home..made cake wouldn't sell as our buses became rolling grocery stores. Naturally, we couldn't otfend the next congregation, and so we all ate another big, delicious supper before our evening concert.

It was really interesting to meet our hosts anda wonderfulopportunity to meet fellow Christians. Muchas we thought we'd do all the talking, it seemed like we'got quite a goodeducation on our Synod from the tours and information they provided us. It was interesting to see various schools and wonder whether we'd ever belong to the faculty there. At home with our foster families for the night we

While someprefer beingalone, mog; would rather share the experience with a friend. others prefer the more rigorous ex.. erclse of riding a bike, either single or tandem. It doesn't take long to reach Flandrau State Park after pedalinga short distance down hill, After the riders have reached their destination and have relaxed a while, the ride uphill presents a challenge but adds to the fun. Yet some students wouldrather see the countryside by touring it in an open convertible or, for that matter, in anything on four wheels. Cruising around on a Sunday afternoon offers a restful trip for those who need a break from their studies. Besides enjoying the visible beauties of nature, other students take advantage of the warm weather itself by engagingin active bouts ot tennis or in rigorous softball games. Others believe in welcoming spring by wearing bold outfits of wild design or color. Even though shopping for these creattons is a great deal of fun, quite a number of girls are sewing enthusiasts who wouldrather design their ownspring fashions. But just getting the clothes is not enough, After the girls have finally found what they want, they paw through mounds of bracelets and bright earrings to find just the right accessories to complete their outfit.

never lacked for hospitality. And, of course, the inevitable post-concert question was, "What can I get youto eat after that long concert?" Oh well, If that's the fate of grade school teachers, I'm all for it! That's right - we sang, too, During the week we usually sang one full concert per evening. Sundayswe stood a bit longer - would you believe almost five concerts on Easter sunday? I'm sure every choir member would admit that singing praises to God inspired bim as muchas the audiences for which he sang, Each, one of us felt he was glorifying Christ when we were joined by the children's choirs In "God, MyFather, LovingMe" as we sang to their loving parents and friends. Besides sacred songs,wetreated our waitresses and cooks to some popular tunes sung by small groups among which were the "SWingingSiegelSingers," the "TABS" (tenors, altos, bases, andsopranos, more affectionately knownas the "BATS") and the Espressos. Oh, and of course we always celebrated Margaret Grossman's birthday in song after every meal, One more thing to note from the musical angle is the student organists who voluntarily played preludes, interludes, and postludes. It's hard to remember everywhere we went. From March 16 to March 27 we sang in churches In the states of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Ohio,andMichigan. We also sang at'Michigan Lutheran Seminary, St. Croix Lutheran High, Bethesda, and at the old peop1e's home in Bay City, Michigan.Onthewaywestopped for several tours of such famous institutions as the Chicago MuseumofScience and Industry, the HenryFord MUseum,the Toledo Art Museum, Kellogg's of Battle Creek, Western MichiganUniversity(who could overlook seeing Mr. Bllitz)? and Northwestern College. At each place we gathered more souvenirs andmore memories. You know, It was sad leaving Fred and Morg (our two bus drivers) and our rolling homes when we flnally returned. Noneof us will forget.

Students Test New Pianos That Work Electronically Automation has entered our Music Department. Twelve WurUtzer electronic pianos have been Installed temporarily on the third floor of OldMainto be used for group piano practice sessions and Instruction. By next year the MusicDepartment hopes to have twenty-five such electronic pianos.

Resemble Tables These Instruments each cost between $So.Q.and $60.0.. Each piano has..sixty -three keys and resembles a small table with switches on top, Students wear earphones while using the pianos. Each student hears only his own piano. However, the instructor may tune In to any Individual's piano playing. Professor Schenk is the instructor In charge of these piano groups; Hehas twogroups

of college students chosen at random that ar e participating in the group piano sessions. One group meets twice a week for

practice sessions. The other meets three times a week and also has lessons on the electronic pianos.

MOI'ePractical This new system will help solve the shortage of practice rooms and eventually provide for more group piano instruction, which will enable more students to take piano lessons.

New Annex Remodeling plans for the Administration Building have also been altered since the last report, and have been approved. The major change is that a rectangu1ar annex wlll be constructed along mostof the south, or tennis court side ot the building. This wlll serve many purposes. First of all, It will contain a second main entrance to the bulld1ng, Including a lobby area similar to the present tront entrance. Flanking this lobby on either side wlll be a classroom. On the far side of each classroom will be a storage room, mainly tor audiovisual aids, stage props, costumes, and related articles.

New Stairways Next to these storage rooms, that is, at the far ends ot the annex, wlll be stairways lead.ing to the second noor. This noor of the annex wlll not be divided as the first tloorls,but wUl rather be one open room. Along the auditorlum side it will be kept open to serve as a

until a la.rger, per-

The two sections will be combined Into one large multi-purpose assembly hall, with a number ot rows of tiered seats In the rear, under which will be constructed two large lecture rooms, also with tiered seats. This assembly hall will be used for such purposes as chapel, dramatic presentations, lyceums, and organ recitals.

College of Watertown, Wisconsin, and Bethany of Mankato, Minnesota, centered on the topic "Resolved, that the US should substantially reduce its foreign policy commitments." The victorious DMLC team coached by Professor Martin SChroeder wlll be awarded a plaque. Edie Draheim and Tom Buege, who placed as the first team unit, had a perfect record of four wins. Marc SChroeder and DennisNeedham, the DMLC negative, placed as the second team with three wins and one loss. Ken Keat of second place Bethany took individual speaker's honors with Edle and Tom following closely. DMLC greeted the privUege of hosting the tournament with fine audiences at the four rounds. The visiting coaches expressed pleasure and commended DMLCfor the fine reception the student body gave them. The tournament Is the first of Its kind at DMLCand wlll become an annual activity. This is the team's second year of intercollegiate competition. This year the team has competed In three other tournament. Professor Schroeder commented, "There has been great Improvement this year.

The representatives chosen were Michelle Murray and Edith ztckunr, Professor Boerneke will be the faculty adviser. In order to make It possible for the students to discuss topics that Interest them, each delegate was asked to choose three topics from a Ust of ten.

Visible Progress Being Made (Continued from Page 3) organ w1ll be movedthere from the assembly hall. The organ console wlll be located on a platform along the south wall in the front of the assembly hall, accessible from the second floor of the annex, The exposed PiPes w1ll also be located along the south wall. The additional library space in the new annex will enable the two rooms originally intended as library expansion space, the faculty lounge and room 202, to be kept as classrooms, in addition to the new classrooms to be constructed where the office area now Is. The two stairways at either end of the new annex connecting the first and second floor hallways, both of whichwUlencircle the assembly hall, wUl enable the increased hall traffic resulting from the increased number of classrooms to disperse Itself up or down four stairways instead of two. Inaddition, doorways into the rear of the assembly hall from the second floor will enable traffic to go up or down the tiered section and in or out the assembly hall doors. The gu1d1ng purpose behind all the building and remodeling projects on campus is to organIze school functions more effectively. All administrative activltles, both academic and business, will be centered in Old Main. All classrooms w1ll eventually be in what Is presently called the Administration Building.

The separation of the physical education and academic functtons will be accomplished with the completion of the new student Unlon-Gymnaslum-Refectory Building, slated for next fall. Progress Is continually being made here. The structural steelwork for the gymnasium Is virtually completed, and ventilation pipes are being installed in It at present. The north wall of the gymnasium is nearly completed, and the various athletic rooms, showers, and offices in the basement, or ground floor are also nearing completion. The roof Is being laid over what wlll be the student union, and beneath this the refectory Is also taking shape.

Dennis Needhamand Dougsteonltz. The catching duties will be handled by Captain Gordy Vetter with Greg Hanneman as back-up man. Jack Gronholz has returned to baseball after a year on the golf team and wlll help solldlfy the infield. A fifteen-game schedule wlll be played this year starting out at Mankato state against their junior varsity on April 17.Two doubleheaders will be played with Plllsbury, which games do not affect the conference standings. Ten conference games wlll determine this year's title. The Lancers wlll be the target tor the rest of the season because of their performance in the past two years. Taking over ~the Important task as managers this year are sophomores Mark Akers and Tom Bobrofsky. Without these two men the team could not function.

Time Out The 1967 DMLCbaseball team finds Itself in a unique situation. Bats are as scarce as teeth in a new-born baby. The traveling team wlll have to limit Itself to a very small number. No suitable practice laclllties are available, and all home games wlll be played at Johnson Park this year. For a team that is accustomed to winning, these circumstances present a rather bitter plll that Is hard to swallow. The new building proj~ct can be directly related to the problems of the athletic department this spring. Construction has covered the playing fte1d and left very little room to practice. Money that normally would be used for equipment and other expenses had to be used to rent a playing diamond this year. The price Is being paid for progress. Progress is an intangible substance that takes on a concrete form to shOWevidence of Its existence. Proof of progress can be seen in many different ways depending on Its field of endeavor. One thing that coincides with progress Is the temporary recession of anything tbat stands in the way of surging forward. The Important question to ask is whether or not this progress Is worth the suffering it Is causing. If the answerIs "no" , then no progress is being made.

What Is more Important and more needed to promote our Christ-centered work? A new student union, gymnasium, and cafeteria or another shiny trophy for the showcase. There can only be one answer.

Aprllll,

There Is no doubt that a trophy can be added to our showcase despite the prominence of these problems. The Lancers will have to swallow the bitter pill or progress and use hustle, hardwork, and determination as an antidote. A winning season is definitely possible. If the enthusiasm of the players wlll carryover to the fans, It should be a very exciting season. JOE LEQUIA

SATISFACTIONS

What did you think of Arbor Day? "I think they should give it up. No kidding. Lots of people never showed up. Many of them loafed. And quite a few took off after the 10:00 break. Why should some work when others don't?" . "Who needs Arbor Day, anyway? Our campus wasn't that messy. I thought itlookedpret.ty good to start with, especially if you compare it with other campuses." "It was really great. I had a lot offun working with the other kids. I also got to know them better. Our campus also needed a good raking and 'spring cleaning!' " "It sure beats studying!" "I think it's a great psychological break. Here we are slaving away at the books facing the long stretch of school days through May and June until vacation. Then we get Arbor Day. Everyone can let off pentup energy in good old-fashioned physical work. It's a good outlet. Students look forward to Arbor Day every year with enthusiasm. This is also an inexpensive way of cleaning up the campus. No one has to be paid to do the work." These are several students' opinions regarding Arbor Day. It is quite possible that there may be no more Arbor Day. This could have been the last one. Is Arbor Day worth it? Is it only a tradition and nothing else? Think it over and judge for yourself. One suggestion: If you want to save Arbor Day, talk to your Collegiate Council representatives. C.C. is the voice of you, the student, and can present your case to the proper authorities.

REVEALED

Trying to rela te the experiences of my year of emergency teaching Is quite a difficult task. There Is so much one learns within these nine months of the school yea.r, that to write It all down on paper will be an endless theme of exhllIrating and rewarding moments to depressed and forlorn moods. When I came to college In the fall to begin my Junior year, I definitely was not going to accept a. call. Yet - through the work and calling of the Holy ~Irlt, here I am teaching grades one to three In Eagle i River - and loving Itl At first I was' quite unsure of my decision, not knowing If I was capable of undertaking such a' responsibility. Through prayer and guidance from above, I experienced a confi- : dence and definite calmness that In doing His work He would (and does)help me, and bless my efforts. It seems funny to me now, but what

worrtes me In the beginning was: what do I keep on saying or talking about once I had given the assignment and explained how to do them? Well, believe me, this wa.s quite a foolish worry. By the time I give the assignments with the Inevitable interruptions from the Other classes as: "Rickie, stop sharpening your pencils all the time and do your work now," or uMark, turn around," or "Yes, you may go to the bathroom," that when you look at the clock - you realize you should ha.ve started second grade arithmetic ten minutes ago! Teaching Is Indeed an extremely rewarding job. To compa re the work pupils are doing now with the way they began In september just warms your heart, knowing that you have played a. part In the acqulrtng of their education. The classes I enjoy the most are

BIble history and devotions which Is after noonhour, The questions these little ones come up with "quite often" astound me. I am reminded of the Bible passage In which God tells us, "My Word will not return unto me void." This Is so evident In their young eager minds. I am humbly grateful that God had . moved me to take a. call last fall. I caK only say this now to you students whowill be hearing the plea for emergency teach-' ers this coming tall: remember, you are not alone when you do work In His kingdom. Even as God called Moses, Jonah, and Paul to do HIs will, so He calls us also, to feed His lambs. Yours In ChrIst, _______ A_r_l~en,;.;e Blauert

"Trumpet Call'

Ea.ch spring a unique and wonderful event takes place on the DMLCcampus. It may seem strange to many because few people understand the significance of this occasion. It Is a wonderful event for the graduaUng seniors because It Is the beginning of a new way of life. On May 24, of this year, approximately 120 seniors will receive a "call" from the assignment committee. When the chaplam announces to each candidate the school, the town, and the grades to which he has been asstgned, a changetakes place within each senior. Four long years of preparation and study In college, four long years of waiting, are over. Suddenly the tea.chlng ministry becomes a reality. This Is a very exciting and rather frightening experience. It Is one thing to say, "Lord, here am If send me, send me," and quite another thing to hear the Lord say through HIs servants, "Very well, go now and feed My lambs." How reassurJng, then, it Is to remember His promise, "Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world." Call night Is the culmination of a ANNAMAE Tegen "combs" out the DMLC student's life.

Arbor Day Breaks Routine The time of our story: April 27, 1967. It Is approximately 6:15 a.rn, The setting: the peaceful little campus of Dr. Martin Luther College, snuggled deep In the rolling hills of South Ceritral Minnesota. Not a thing Is stirring on campus, and then a phone rings The quiet Is broken only by the ringIng of the phone unttl finally a pttterpatter of bare feet running across the cold Ule floor can be heard. There Is a click of the receiver, and then - peace - but not for long. Sleep Is again Interruptedby an excited voice repeating over the tn, tercom, "Today is Arbor Dayt" Within approximately fifteen minutes, students were racing from all corners of the ca mpus to form a breakfast line that must have set the kltchen staff back about four years. After a. hearty breakfast, all students on campus, with the exception of the college seniors, met for a,"sun_rise" joint chapel service, followed by the assignment duties. By 9:00 a.rn, the campus bustledwith activity. The college sophomore couples were diligently worklng side by side, cleaning the professor's ya_rds,etc, College juniors slaved over the dlfflcult task of driving trucks. College seniors slept. Where were the IlFabulous Freshmen"? Well, scattered across every highway and by-way ofthe mightyhill. It took some of them a little while to figure out where they were going. At 10:15 a.m, all gathered for a. break on the lawns at Hillcrest to eat brownies and compare callouses. While they rested the tutors held mall-call. Atter mass confusion and many laughs, mall was distributed and students returned to work. Speaking of the tutors, they were makIng It rather difficult for some poor sophomore girls to sweep the tennis courts. Actually, they were secretly on the prowl for Innocent victims to throw In the stocks, which had been erected for those who couldn't seem to find any work to do. The day's festivities ended with a picnic, well attended by students and professors. JOY PUGH

I!The New" WhenI was born, I was new. New to whom? Not to the Eternal God. He has always knownme. Not to other people. Some knew that Iwas coming; most had seen babies before. All had been born. Just to me, I was new. While I was very young, the world was new. I saw the age-old stars, I saw the creations of God: the grass and plants, the trees, and the animals. People. Some were born or bad germlnated while others just like them were dying. It was all new to me. Then I went to scncot.. to learn to think. I learned repetitious history. I lea.rned to read and write and how our alphabet and number system had come to be. I learned what great men had to say on life, and of those who had bad combtnations of the same Ideas. Reproduction. The eternal love of God. I had to learn these things, they were new to me. One day, 1 will die. My soul will go to Heaven, where It has never been. I must die alone In Christ. No Other hu_ man being can go with me, nor I with him. My soul will be with countless others who ha.vedied. Eternity will be the last ofthe newfor me. Diane Leslie

GRADE SCHOOL ORCHESTRA

Youngsters Present Concert Haveyouever J.magInedyourself being the d1rectorot an orchestra? Many DMLC students. may now be reconslderlng such a POsslbUlty after hearing the orchestra concert presented by the Mt. Calvary Lutheran School Orchestra of LaCrosse, Wisconsin on May 3. Under the dit'SCtion of Mrs. Leslie Munson, these pupUs(4th-8th grade) del410nstrated to our fUture teachers what POsslbUlties lie ahead of them In the field of music. This grade school orchestra of some thirty members was started by Mr. Fred Hagedorn, princiPal of Mt. Calvary Lutheran School, about seven years ago. The main purpase In organtzlng this orcbeS~

Phlogistons Go To Mayo Cltnic, Art Institute

On Wednesday, April 19, the Phlloglston's Science Club took a trip to Rochester. Approxlm ately sixteen members attended, accompanied by Prof. Swantz, the faculty advisor for Phloglstons. The group left campus at 7:30 a.m, In a caravan of three cars. Arriving at Rochester, they stopped first at Mayo Clinic Building, where they spent the entire morning. After a picnic lunch Inthe park, they went to the Art institute nearby. From here the group went to the Rochester Methodist Ho.sPIt,al, whiCh. Is connected with' the clinic. One of the points of Interest seen here was the experimental lab. The last stop of the day was at the Mayo Cllnlc Museum. Among the many things seen here were a transparent man and a heartlung machine for open-heart surgery. Before returning, the group stopped at the Sweden House for a smorgasbord supper. The group even received the honor Of having their picture taken with the Mayo Brothers, (their statue, that Is).

Prof. Schweppe Feeling Better The latest report on Professor Schweppe is that he Is progressing satisfactorily. It Is expected that he will be out of the hOsPital by the middle part of May. He first entered the hOsPitalnear the end of January. Professor Schweppe expects to be uP and around and back In the classroom next fall. He particularly WOuldlike to b8 back teaching Shakespeare.

was to provlde chUdren with an appreciation for Instrumental music. Many of the pupUs also played percussion Instruments In the school's band. However, most who have been members for two or three years began lessons on a string Instrument. As Mr. Hagedorn pointed out, the reason for this Is the ease and agUlty with whlch young chUdren can learn to master the strings. He went on to say that most chUdren do not have the lung power to playa wind Instrument untll the fifth or sixth grade. The orchestral arrangements such as "Alla Turca" by E. Schmldt, "The Concertmeister's Serenade" by J. Fredrick Muller, "Firework Music" by G.F. Handel, arr, PhllIP Gordon, and the band selections Includlng "You're a Grand Old Flag" by George M. Cohan were received very well by the audience. Those In attendance were also delighted by sototsts Daniel Italiano who played the violin; Debra Von Allinen, the cello; sandra Fritz, the bass viol;

and a string quartet composed of Daniel Italiano, Brenda Bluske, Nancy Kohlmeyer, Debra Von Allmen, and sandra Fritz who played an excerpt frOm Haydn's "Surprise srmphony." A special feature not on the program was nlne-yearold Debra Schlessel, a firstyear member of the orchestra and also one of the youngest. As a cello soloist she played "Mary Had a Lillie Lamb" and demonstrated that even very young people play Instruments that are bigger than they are. Although the visit to DMLC was the first for many members of the orchestra, they are not new to public presentations by any means. Their achievements are publicized through various presentations made In circulation to local congregations, Sucha delightful performance as this Is very good evidence of what can be done with chUdren who are eager to learn to play Instruments. People who are Interested and eager to teach them how to play or direct them will find them cooperative.

Junto Hears Speech Representing NFO "Organization and collective bargaining Is the American wayl" This might well have been the theme of guest speaker Mr. Vic Holst in his address to the Junto Club. Mr. Holst Is a farmer from Austin, Minnesota. He is a. member of Secretary of Agriculture Orville Freeman's board of advisors. and 3,D active member of the

National Farm Organization. Mr. Holst maintains that the aim of the NFO Is to bring up the prices onall fa.rmcommod Itles in relative balance untll the American farmer receives a fair price for his product. By joining the NFO, farmers can create a. bargaining force with enough strength to ha.vean effective voice In price control. The weapon the NFO would and has used at the hargalnlng table is the threat of a holding action on farm products. In taking such a_cUan, farmers would merely be copying the pattern set for them by labor and Industry. These forces have long used the strike, a. withholding of their labor, as a bar_ gaining tool. This is the Amer_ ican wa.yof dOingbusiness In a capitalistic society. The recent milk holdlngprogram is an exa.mple of the NFO In action. When every other possible attempt to galn a price Increase of two cents per quart for milk at the farm ho.dfailed, NFO President Oren Lee staley

called for a holding action. The first phase of this holding acuon, the notorious dumping of milk, was necessary for two reasons, a.ccord1ng to Mr. Holst. First of all, It awakened the American public to the fact that a serious farm problem exists. Secondly, the dumping of milk and the resulting publicity pressured ma.nyprocessors Into signing contracts with the NFO. Once these contracts were signed, phase two of the holding a.ctlon was begun. com, panies under contract to the NFO a re processing milk into less perishable forms such as powdered milk or cheese which will be stored until the next desired price Increase Is a.chleved. For many years purchasers ha.ve failed to give the farmer an equita.hle price for his products. In order to remain In existence, a. business must get back the cost of production In the price of the products. if this downwa.rdspiral Is not reversed, our nation will have to face, in Mr. Holst's words, ua rendezvous with destiny. No re-

pubUc has ever stood for 200 years," he continued, "and the United States Is follOwing an exact parallel In history to those that haye fallen." The NFO Is proposing a course of action that may reverse this trend and ma_keagriculture "a proud part of Ame~rlcanbusi_ ness.,t

DMLC Awards Scholarships A total of 66 DMLC students will benefit from scholarships given by various Lutheran groups and Individuals In the 1966-1967 school year. A total of $9,026.54 has been made available to the DMLC Scholarship Committee, headed by Professor Roland H. Hoenecke. The Ald Assocta-

tlon for Lutherans contributed $4,750, roughly half of the total. The Wisconsin Lutheran Synod Scholarship Fund provided approximately $1200, as did an annual grant from Mr. and Mrs. Paul Schwan of Mar_ shall, Minnesota. The DMLC Ladles' Auxllla ry contributed $250 and the Ladles' Aid of st. Paul's Lutheran Church lnNew

U1m added $200. Interest from various scholarship funds, In_ eluding the Ca rl and Flora Schweppe, Neubert, Luehrs, Somsen, and Spindler funds, made up the balance. The funds are distributed in two phases. The first occurred at the end ofthe first semester. The second will be taken care of in May. Including grant s-fn., aid, 53 students have been helped so far. and approximate~y 13 more students will be helped this year.

Time Out

The purpose of an editorial Is to express opinions on various subjects and maybe, through a qulrkoffate, create some Interest. Although an editorial I. OPInionated, Ibis does DOtmean that facts can be dlstroted. This writer WOUld I1lI1e 10 eaIl ''Time Out" and say that tbe prevlous ed1torlal lnDOwa), meant tllat our athletle department Is mismanaging Its tun<ls, when actually the opposite ts true. ThIs statement Is also not a retnetion of what was previously written, but rather a footnote to clear some misinterpretations. One statement was an untruth. We are not paying for the use of JohnsonPark, as was mentioned last month. 11 has been stated that albietlcs Is the polson Ivy of our col , leges today. ThIs may be somewhat true when speaking of our larger schools. The case In point Is what Is happening at DMLC. It can be safely said that athletics Is In no way Interfering with the purpose of the school - to provide a. Christian educaUon to students WhowU1later, with God's help, guide children In lInding their way to Christ. The Lancers have been very successful In the past few years In Intercollegiate parUcipation. Soccer has caught on fabulously. Basketball Is on the upswing, and the baseball teams have been outstanding. An overall view such as this would Indicate an abundance of good athletes on our campus. This Is definitely true. A close look at this past season is not so rosy. With a soccer team tha.t was far and a.way the best In the conference, the Lancers finished second. With a basketball team that was second best In the conference, and probably the best InDMLChlstory, the Lancers finished fifth. Why? Many people would say that winning Is not the important thing; It is the way you play the game. Tell that to the player who has just missed a free throw in the last second of the game. Tell that to the coach who has ulcers. Athletics means much to a, school. Where can hundreds of students get together and express themselves other than at an athletic contest? Let's not worry about poison Ivy; everybody seems to enjoy the rash anyway. Rather let's plant a few seeds and see it we can cultivate a little mor= of the terrible disease, oniy let's make sure we get hybrid seeds so we know the job will be done the way it should it be.

Victories Include a 9-1 win over Willmar, a 8-7 triumph over arch rival Bethany, and a decisive 9-1 win over Austin. The Lancers dropped a game 10-9 to Metropolitan. The game with Concordia was called because of rain. These scores Indicate a good hitting team, plus an effective pitching staff. Leading this
