Essays on 95 Theses Begin Reformation Lecture Series

PAUL SWAIN,junior, unloads one of the numerous boxes of donated produce to Steve Dankert, senior.

Minnesota Congregations Donate Produce to DMLC For the past three weeks the DMLC truck could be seenleavIng campus and returning later In the day loaded with food obtained as donations from synodical churches In southern Minnesota. Every year the members of these churches gather together garden vegetables and other produce ·tobe sent to DMLC's kitchen.

Ths truck went out five days a week for three weeks to gether In these donations. These _.. triPs covered a total of .3,281 mUes with stops at 71churchss.

The farthest stop was at Glenwood, Minnesota.

Each day two college men drove the truck to certain desIgnated pick-up spots. When the truck returned to campus, student workers--helped unload the truck to prepare It for the next day's pick-up.

The food donations consisted mainly of garden vegetables

'Kaleidoscope' Presented by CBEon On Sunday, November 19, 3:30 P.rn. the Concert Band Ensemble presented Its Fall Kaleidoscope Concert at New Ulm Junior High School.

The band's unique concert consisted of compositions written specifically for a. concert band. Before the 20th Century very few serious compositions were composed especially for band, for a band was used pri_ marily to perform popular and military music.

CompoSitions performed were "Military Ma.rch" by Ludwig von Beethoven, AmerIcan Overture" by Joseph Wlllcox Jenkins, "Symphonie for Band" by Louis E. Jadln, "SecOIlgSuite In F MaJor For MilItary Band," Op. 28, No. 2 by Gustav Holst, a.selection from the "Wa.ter Music SuIte" by Georg Frederic Handel, "Nocturne In the Modern Manner"

by Ralph Hermann and "Universal Judgment" by Camillo De Nardls.

A highlight of the program was "We Sing Our City Set On High" a proposed alma mater song for DMLCwritten byC.II. Luedtke and composed by H. L. ShUllng of the music fa.culty.

and home-canned foods. Every load brought Ina varied assortment of goods. The Items included squash, beets, carrots, potatoes, pumpkins, onions, lard, eggs, home-canned fruits and vegetables, frozen rhubarb, frozen vegetables, canned meat, small cans of vegetables, COOkies,home-canned jellies, and home-canned pickles of all kinds.

To commemmorate the 450th Anniversary ofthe Reformation, a series of three programs featuring six essayists from the Synod's Convention this past summer went Into effect Sunday evening at st. Paul's Church when Dr. E. Klesllng of Northwestern College andProf.

T. Hartwig of DMLC presented their portions of "A Sympos~um on the 95 Theses."

Dr. Kiesling lectured on "A History of the 95 Theses Before and After 1517." He began by stating that Luther's posting of the 95 Theses was a routine r ather than a heroic act at the time and that It set In motion one of the great movements of modern history.

Dr. Kiesling continued by tell1ng the reasons behind the posting of the Theses such as Indulgences and other corruption In the church. He also discussed the Theses themselves as well as their impact.

He noted that In a few weeks these Theses had spread through Germany and beyond In both the original Latin and In German translation. Luther, surprised at their Impact, wrote a long treatise explainIng them.

In conclusion, Dr. Kiesling explalned Luther's new emphasis on the Gospel that eUect-

ed the Reformation of the church.

Prof. Hartwig began his dissertation entitled, "The 95 Theses: A Document of Protest," by pointing out examples of criticism against the papacy that prevailed from 400 years before Luther to Luther's own era.

In his lecture, Prof. Hartwig brought out, "Yet there was a new note of protest In the 95 Theses. Though missed by the multitude, It was recognized by the discerning few as an axe laid at the root of the Roman tree.

Prof. Hartwig continued by saying that there are twoprominent themes In Luther's 95 Theses. (1) What Is the nature of Christian ille? and (2) What Is the source ofChristian truth?

"In regard to the first theme, the essence of Luther's protest

Is this: Christian ille Is it simpie, single thing; It Is the new heart and new mind of trust In the atoning work of Christ."

In regard to the second theme, Prof. Hartwig lllustrated the fact that Luther regarded Scrlpture as the only source of true doctrine, not the pope nor anyone else.

Two more progr ams are planned for this Reform ation series. The next will be OIlFeb. 18 and will feature Dr.S.Becker of Wisconsin Lutheran College, Mllwaukee, WlsCOllSIn, and Prof. M. Lutz of Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary In Mequon, Wisconsin.

The last of the series Is scheduled for March 31. At this assembly, Pastor H. Koch of Sault ste, Marie, Canada, and Pastor E. Zell of Detroit, Michigan, will be the guest speakers.

Many complaints have been voiced concerning the new library rules. Why was itnecessary to set up these new rules?

Was it not because we students did not comply with the old rules or were dissatisfied with the old system?

How many times weren't.we disappointed when a certain pamphlet, magazine, or book, vital for classwork, was not returned within the allotted time?

How many times haven't we come to the library during the day for a certain book only to find it reserved by someone else?

How often haven't we been the ones who were responsible for these conditions? Yes, we have brought these changes in rules upon ourselves by our own inconsiderateness and irresponsibility •

Closer Look However, a closer look at these rules reveals that there is room for improvement in certain points. Under the new reserve rules "Overnight checkouts of reserve materials will be honored on 50 per cent of our reserve holdings at 9 p.m, each day. Reserve books must be returned to the library before 9 a.m, the next morning after withdrawal."

When specific assignmerits require readings in particular books, there is a terrific de mand for these books, especially since the ratio of the number of books to the number of students is small.

Thus the rule of only allowing 50 per cent of the reserved supply of books to be withdrawn at night does not help the student demand for books. This rule was established to insure that copies of these books would be available in the morning before 9 a.m.

We suggest, therefore, keeping in mind both the demand of students and the need for copies in the library before 9 a.m., that all reserve books be scheduled for withdrawal at 9 p.m, and for return at 8 a.m, Thus students will be able to make full use of reserve books, and the books will be in the library during library hours.

Periodicals Concerning periodicals, the new rules state "Periodicals are to be used in' the library reading room and are to be returned on the same day. Special permission must be obtained from a library attendant to check our magazines for longer than the period listed in No. 3 (first quoted statement) above.

It is indeed evident that new rules were needed for checking out periodicals. However, with the often heavy and pressing schedules of students, the

cramped library facilities, and the nature of some assignments, students do not always find it easy to use periodicals during the regular hours.

Giving special permission to check out periodicals for longer than one day and keeping track of those who have such special permission add extra work to the already heavily-burdened librarians.

Realizing the problems for both students and librarians, we suggest that periodicals be checked out under the same system but that the withdrawal period be expanded from one day to one week.

Let us all remember that whatever rules are made are made for our benefit. The library is only trying to be fair to all students, giving us all a chance to use the books. At the same time it is trying to prevent misuse of library privileges. Therefore, library rules really depend upon us, the students of DMLC, and our attitude toward library privileges.

Concert Sales Down This Year

Last month an article appeared Inthe Messenger concerning the Community Concert program. It was reported that the number of memberships purchased by the student body was decreased from last year.

Lest anyone draw a wrong concluston, the sale of fewermembershlpswasnotdue to fewer membershlps made available to the student body.Rather a lack oflnterest among the students themselves resulted In the decreased sale.

Only 80 students boughtmembershlps thls year.

This Is the lowest number of membershlps ever sold In proportlon to the number of enrolled students. Contrast thls with the 200memberships sold when the student bodynumbered 500.

A lack of Interest amongboys more so than among girls caused the decrease In sale of CommunityConcert membershlps.

As we enter the Ilbrary, Dan Is tilting his head toward the ceiling, "Boy, are there many books here. But how do you get the books off the upper shelves?"

No Fines ''We are not troubled with that. But 'woe unto him' who forgets the due date of a book and doesn't return It.

We have 20-30 men pa.rtfcipattng in soccer, 15 for basketball and 20-30 lor the spring sports of baseball, tennis and golf. All too often, however, we see the same students active In two or three sports per year. Thus the actual percentage of our

student body active in these "big" sports is relatively small.

This is where intramural sports can playa large part, Although we are a small school, we are blessed

It is reasonable therelore to expect that a large number of participants wouldbe active in this program. But is this the case? Statistics show student body participation is only slightly higher than that of varsity athletics. It must truly be lrustrating for the organizers of these activities to see half_filled registration sheets and to have even fewer players actually participating.

This program has been designed for you, the average stu-

dent, in order that you also may be active in your favorite sport.

Not all or us can be varsity athletes, but surely all of us can get out and have some fun.

game was held on OCtober22.

The Lancers were defeated by Bethany, 4-1. Terry Vasold booted In the only goal In the first half. It was a gameLuther won on paper. Statistics showed that the team controlled the ball more often and made more goal attempts. However,the effort given Just couldn't surmount the few offensive drives Bethany made.

The Lancers I ended the season with a 3-3 conference, and a 3-6-0 overall record.

B TEAM This year a B Team soccer squad was added to the Interscholastic sports activities ol DMLC. This leam competed with other B Teams from schools In the Southern MIn-

There Is, however, one Important thing that the team still needs _ and that Is the support that the student body can givethem. Here's your opportunityto cheer our team to victory this yearl

1940's.

Based on all indications, the coming season promises to be even more rewarding. Not only does Coach Dallmannhaveseven returning players, Including five starters, but he has added deplh this year with the addition of some very capable newcomers. Also this year's Lancers have an addedincentive as they soon will have a new gymnas~umIn whichto play.

Withthe material CoachDallmann has a lot of hard workand maybe even a little luck, the Lancers should prove adel1n1te threat In bothconferences again this year.

Editorial This year DMLC,like many other colleges, commencedlater in September. The late start is attributed to the building program on campus. There is now a growingsentiment in the administration favoring a later school opening as part of schoolpolicy.This sentiment is shared by many of the students and wouldreceive enthusiastic support from them as well. . Summers seem to be astonishingly short for a studentwho 1S trying to earn his waythrough school. Part-time or summer Jobs are scarce and often hard to find. Because in former years DMLCstarted right after Labor Day, many a studentwas bypassed for a job position in favor of someone who could work longer inthe season. Thus a later school opening would allow students to workthrough Labor Day. This would also sharply decrease if not eliminate the number of students returning after the beginningof the school year because of job commitments.

A longer summer vacation provides the student with a longer work season, which means he is able to earn more money. This potential boost in finances is especially neededif not demanded by the escalating prices of college costs and fees, namely, board and room and educationalfee.

As far as the compensation for a later school commencement is concerned, many students readily comply with the arrangement being executed this year. In fact many a student prefers a Thanksgiving recess to the earlier mid- 'semester break in Novemberbecause it allows him a reunion with friends and relatives, some of whom he does not get to visit at any other time of year.

Thus a later September opening would be most welcome by the members of the student body, and encouraged andappreciated not only by the stu'dents but also by the parents who help financially to support their son or daughter, and al'so by the employers of summer and part-time help for the extra time the student can stay on the job.

In 1887-1888the enrollment reached a high of fifty-six, still only men. Outside the classroom, organized athletic programs for the students had not been Introduced.Recreational outlets depended much on personal Initiative, not InfrequenUy to the detriment of the college.

NOW,In 1967, the. enrollment has reached an all time high of 617students and 51 Instructors.

The enrollment Increase at DMLCIn the last couple of years has created a great problem - housing. The dire need for dormitory space neeessttates offcampus housing, a desperation measure which Is not conduciveto good,uniform supervision or desirable student morale.

Off-campus housing, under present conditions, will Increase, and It Is likeWise Increasingly difficultfrom year to year to tlnd additional off-campus housing. For the 1967-68 school year there are 160 students off campusIn private homes and Synod-ownedand-leased houses.

be Uke others are, we want to do What others do because we cannot bear to be considered narrow or squares. That Is one 01 the greatest dangers to which we are exposed today, particularly when todayrs society Is wallOwing In a so-called new morality. We are In danger of letting our hankering to conform to the wor ld crowd out the teaching of Scripture. Furthermore, In the world's centers of higher learning fun Is poked at the old faith and the old doctrines. The best brains In the world are being marshalled against the Bible. Magazines and newspapers and even pulpits of socalled Christian Churches denounce those who cling to the Bible as the inspired Word of God as being out of step with • tmodern progress. And so this word of welcome Is accompanied with the prayer that the great principle of the Reform ation, "By Scripture alone," wlll be CheIUbed, guarded, and taught by you to the succeeding generattons to the glory of God and to the salvatloo of precious souls.

THE CALENDAR OF ANNIVERSARY ACTIVITIES

Pres. Frey Greets All The Board of Control, the faculty, the staff, and the Admln1stration wish to extend to aU students, new and returning, the hOpe that this wllI be a most prOfitable year, both spiritually 'and academically. We trust that you will In good spirit accommodate yourself to the man)' in., conveniences you have and will experience because of the vartous building operations.

Aside from the building operatiOllS, this is an unusual year since It marks the 450th anniversary of the Reformation.

As men and women preparing for full-time service In the Kingdom of Almighty ~, this should g1ve pause for seriouS reflection and thanksgiving. In our day and age particularly we need to guard zealously the theme of the Reformation: "The Scriptures alone". Many of the people and Influence we encounter are not rooted and grounded In the Scriptures. We are UvIng in the wor ld and are rubbing elbows with the world to a degree In Whichour fathers did not, and It would be amlracle if we were not contaminated by Its splrlt. Deep-down we want to

Hong Kong Student

Tries Life at DMLC Jonah Louis Chu, known as Louie on campus, was born September 1, 1949 In Shanghai, Ch1na.

After eleven years In China Louie was granted a student visa to Hong Kong where his mother was working. Louie Is nowconsidered a clUzen of HongKong.

His Family His father who passed away when Louie was a year old, purchased American car engines and put a body on them for sale in Hong Kong.

Other members of Louie's family includes twosisters, One 17 the other 24. in New York he has a cousin who Is an interior designer with whom he wID spend some of his vacation Ume. Althoughhe nowlives In the men's dormitory, any vacaUon Ume, whennotvisiting at homes of his friends wIDbe sPent with the Prof. Manthey, :..a.lrruy; 'Loute left HongKong via plane September 15, stopped In san FranCisco, and arrived September 16 where be was met oy' Frof. Manlhey.

Tnrough a friend LOUlecame in contact with the Lutheran mission In HongKong.

Pastor Peter Chang In Hong Kong belped Louie obtain admission to Martin Luther Academy. LOuie Is able to attend MLA due to his father's estate.

In Academy According to previous schooling, Louis Is at a college freshman level; however. it was considered adVisable to have him study a year with the academy studies In order to guard against unneccessary strain.

English literature, especially the Old English, and rel1glon are the d1ff1culta,'eas of study for Louie. .

While at a private school in

Hong Kong, Louie studied such subjects as algebra, geometry, trigonometry, physics, cnemIstry, biology, general Engl!sh, Chinese history and literature.

The upcoming winter season wID be an experience for Louie as 40degrees Is the lowest temperature he has experienced.

Louie has found the united states more spacious than crowded Hong Kong; also, that American people are friendly and helpfUL. While living In Shanghai, Louie and the other students were given the Impression that the United states was made up of the very rich whohadeverything and the very poor whohad nothing. They were also told that revolt wouldresult because of this sltua uon,

Impression s When asked his viewpoint on the lecture presented by Mrs. Hobbs, he agreed that her facts were basically correct; however, he added that she was very much Influenced by the people with whom she talked.

No student In Shanghai was permitted to be "friends" with a member of the opposite sex.

Matters pertaining to studies were the only Ume when a hoy would talk to a girL.YoungpeopIe were permitted to choose their own marriage partner, Originally a boy could marry at the age of 18, accept the privilege to vote andbe drafted. voting age for the girl was also 18, but the marriage age was' 16; and she was not drafted, Nowthe marriage a.gehas been changed to 26 for men and 24 :tor women.

U a girl married before the

legal age she lost her privilege to vote and a,monthvacaUonbefore and a month alter giving birth. Also the father of the child did not have to assume responsibility 01 the child.

$25,000 Needed for Memorial Organ

From time to time reports coocernlng the MemorialOrgan kept Interesled peopleInformed of the growth of the fund and of the plans for such an organ. We are happy, at this. time, to bring you news of recent developments.

In ,Us last conventiOll",the synod· authorized the remod - . eUng of the adm1n1straUoo building at Dr. Martin Luther College. Incorporated In this plan Is the provlsloo for an auditor1um wIllch will also serve as a chapel for a student body of approximately 1000. The Board of Control has des1gnated this aa. the place for the Memorial Organ. An organ committee was appointed and glvan the·directi va to get plaos and spec1f1cat1onsfor such an organ. ThIs work has nowbeen completed.

According to organ builders' estimates, It would take about two years to buIldsuch anorgan.

ApprOximately$25,000 still Is needed to cover the cost of this project. It Is hoped that the Lord might soon bless US with this amount from Interested people and organizations with1n the Synod so that the bids could be let and that the constructioo might begin.

Hangs on Wall The accompanying repUcas of the blueprints will help In descr1b1ng the Memorial Organ.

KEY

A - swell organ B - choir organ C - pedal organ D - console E - great organ ThIs organ, to be in the remodeled chapel-auditorium, Is not constructed to rest on the floor, but may be thought of as "hanging" 00 the wall to the right of the stage as one looks directly at It. The fig_ ure standing 011 the elevated floor In the front viewdrawing shows the relatl ve size of a person standing under the organ.

The organ juts out from the side and.1s suppqrted In partby . .'. .'.:.....:. :;....- .';. ;;.-.:.~~:~;.: ..:.::- ".' " "

t he wall underneath whichwill be built at an angle narrowing the width of the former seating area In the old chapel. (See horizontal lay-out plan.)

The organist will arrive at the coosole by entering through a door from the second floor, walking about half-way across the back of the organ and down three steps, continuIng across the back, and finally turning right.

The 16-foot pedal pipes will be too large to be set up vertically, so a hor1zontalarrangement has been worked out. (See front view.) AlthoughIt appears to be that the pipes are wry c lose to the organist, they are actually about eight feet away.

As this organ 1s not buIlt on the floor, the entire floor space In the aud1torlumwill be used for seating. The only area where the aud1ence v1ew of t he organist Willbe obstructed Is under the organ unit Itself.

DMLC Alumna Reminisces I would like to extend a hea rty welcome

to you, the class

of

1971. As a departing senior of the class of 1967, 1 would like to tell you about a. tew things at DMLC, your new home.

As you all know, DMLC Is a four-year college for train, CLASS OF '47 gathered tor their 20 year reunion this past summer, Standing left to right, Harry McFarland, Quentin Al-

brecht, Robert Kolander, Gerhard Bauer , Harold Goede, and Glen Felch. Seated left to right, Jeanette Westerhaus Wickmann, Evelyn Dorow Hansmann, Vera Huth Stark, Esther Poehler Wiechmann, Louise Paape Otterstatter, Elaine Rademann Moldenhauer.

Twelve Grads Celebrate Anniversary at Picnic Members ofthe college graduating class of 1947ofDr. Ma.rtin Luther College, New Ulm, Minn., gathered at Riverside

Park to commemorate their 20th aJlnlversary.

Twelve Attend From a class of19 graduates, 12 were able to attend. The Included three classmates who served on the st. Mark Lutheran School fa.culty last year, Ha.rry McFarland, Quentin Albrecht, and Mrs. Jeannette Westerhaus Wichmann, all or Watertown.

Others present were Robert Kolander, West AlliS; Gerhard Bauer, Bloomington, Minn.: Glen Felch, Harold Goede, and Mrs. Esther Paehler Wiechmann, all of Milwaukee; Mrs. Vera Huth stark, SouthMilwaukee; Mrs. Elaine Rademann Moldenhauer, Neenah: Mrs. Evelyn Dorow Hansmann, Plymouth, and Mrs. Louis Paape Otterstatter, Fond du Lac,

Ot the 19 graduates 12 are at present tea.chlngIn Lutheran parochial schools.

Thirty-one Students On Emergency Calls This year, as In previous years, the Wisconsin Synod has taced a shortage ot teachers tor Its elementary schools and high schools, Juniors and seniors at DMLC were urged to consider taking an emergency cail to till these vacancies. This would mean interrupting one's education tor one year and returning again next tall. Thlrtyone students - eleven seniors and twenty juniors _ responded to the need and are now out In the field teaching.

Several tactors contribute to t he teacher shortage: Inthe past tew years there has been an Increase In enrollment In the parochial schools. Theretore, - more teachers are required to provide tor this Increase. There are now 948 teachers, an Increase ot 20 over last year's totai, In the synod'selementary schools. This Increase stems trom the effort to lower the pupU-teacher ratio, the second tactor. This WOUld, thereby,decrease the number of students under an individual teacher's supervision.

Last June there was a need tor 201 teachers but DMLCwas able to supply only 121 graduates. Of these, 113 were assigned to elementary schools and 6 to highschools to serve as tutors. .

Needs In the congregations stem from several reasons.

Vacancies arise when a teacher accepts a call to serve

In

another congregation. Every year some teachers also retire lea vlng an untilled position.

Marriage also takes Its yearly

ing young men and women to

teach In the Wisconsin Synod Christian Day Schools. The school Is located In the city of New Ulm, a really beautiful city. The Minnesota and cor; tonwood Rivers, as well as F'landrau State Park and other areas in and around the city

will probably soon become familiar sights to you.

You have come to DMLCat an opportune time. Youw1ll be the first class to spend all tour years enjoying the facilities offered in our new Luther

Memorial Union. Sometimes 1 wish I could have goneto school another year to be able to make use of the newdininghall, gymnasium, student union, and post office, but I'll have to be sat-

Isfied with visits and letters trom New Ulm. I hope also to be Informed concerning the remodeling of the Administration Building via news from New Ulm. The tun of growing with the school will be yours. As you

Upon leaving this campus after four years, I find myself with a problem. I have so many wonderful friends that I do not know how I'll be able to keep In contact with them all. The opportunity Is there for you, too, to meet many wonderful people, with whom you will be In contact throughout your life, as a.member ofthe Wisconsin Syn-

I could tell you that DMLC offers many opportunities, but finding them and ma.kingthem depends on you. You will have to decide how you will use the talents God has given you. College studying Is not easy, and you can expect that work will . ha.veto be done by you.

We former DMLCers are happy you decided to make this your home for the next four od. years. We wish to welcomeyou After graduaUng from DMLC to the campus family. I, esyouwill have the opportunity and pectally, hope that you will enprivilege of working In the joy your tour years here as Lord's kingdom, feeding His much as I did. I wish youGod's lambs. The chance to spread blessings at DMLC, your new His word may present Itself home. by your teaching In other conA 1967 graduate . grega.t1onslater on.

new building. A new curriculum Is being studied which will enable students to take subjects In their area of Interest. In addition to this, I am sure that the vartous clubs and organlzadons on campus will continue to grow In size and produce even better results than they already have. Withthe newgymnasium and a. larger student body, the trophy for first place In the Southern Minnesota Ju-, nior College Conference In basketball will hopefully come to DMLC.

From September 12th to October 3rd Prof. and Mrs. Delmar Brick escorted 23 people on the SouthernMinnesota Luther an Heritage Tour through parts of Germany, SWitzerland, Italy, and Austria. The expedition was promoted by the New Ulm Travel service and Lufthansa German Airlines. AWest German tour guidewas assigned to the group from the time they arrived until they left from Munich, excepting the time spent In East Germany.

Visiting Luther country and traveling through the Black Forest highlighted the tour for Prof. Brick. He said It was really Impressive to walk around and visit In the same places where Luther once had

East Germany Since most of the Luther country Is In East Germany,the touring group acquired an oftlclal East German guide after they had crossed Into the Iron Curtain. This East German guide accompanied the Americans wherever theywent.

Prof. Brick, who Is fluent In the German language, said the guIde, In translating to English whatever was told to the AmerIcans, would flavor the interpretation with state logic, otten skimming over the religious aspects associated with the highlights of the Luther area.

Mrs. Brick noted the contrast between East Germany and west Germany. She thought the homes and buildings InEast Germany lookednice butbehind the times. About,edevelopment 5 he said, "Things are slower there. East Germany has not had the benetlt of the American dollar as West Germany has."

LECTURERon Red China, Mrs. Lisa Hobbs, comments on her recent book 1 Saw Red China to Messenger reporter, Sue Rose.

View,Mrs. Hobbsreported that there Is no need to lock one's door In China since stealing Is uncommon.This stems notonly from the threat of severe punIshment and lack of escape, but chiefly trom a strong sense of pride.

After explaining some of the causes of the Cultural Revolu'.',:.

tlon as well as other matters,

Mrs. Hobbs showed colored slides to Illustrate her lecture.

She entered Chinatwoyears ago by taking advantage of her Australian birth and passport that permitted her to go on a group tour to six fijajor cities IncludingShanghai,Peking, and Canton.

On September 22, the Luther Lancer s openedthe 1967soccer season with a 3-1 victory over Pillsbury. Havlng but a short week In whichto put together a team and practice, the team looked good and showedplenty of potential.

Luther scored Its first goal early In the first half. The last two goals came back to back late In the second half. Bob Schroer, Terry vasotd, and Dale Finck, respectively, booted them In.

. COACHDallman and the soccer team radiate looksof confidencebefore departure for a game.

Coach, Players Speak out Witha 2-0 conferencerecord Coach Dallmannlooks over the rest of the season withhopeand anticipation. With a late start this season, Injuries have plagued the team. Eight dlfferent players have been sldelined at one tlme or another this season, but now the team Is once again at full strength.

Even thoughthe problem of Injuries has followed the soccer team, the players' spirit contlnues to run high for every game.

The soccer team this year Is run under a different set of rules. Formerly the team could have as many players as were needed for the varsity squad.

Now, however, only 15 players c an be listed and travel as varsity players. The other men which tryout for soccer are classified as the B-team.

The varsity Is not fixed, but can and does change from game to game. This causes the feelIng and tensionof constantcompetition. The men on B-team, because of this system, get the opportunityto play against other schools and thus gain valuable experience.

Vetter Comments Senior .captaln, Gordy Vetter feels the team Is charged with spirit. All are eager to do their best and feel confldent about their games. Eventhough the team had a late start, two factors seem to have helpedthe team to obtain their highspirit.

First, the team was made smaller by the 15 man rule.

This makesfor Intenseworkand competition. Second, a new asslstant coach was added to the

Last year Gordy Velter was chosen co-captain of the Lancer squad. Althoughthe position of captain Is one of an honorary degree, each of the captains do have their jobs to do. The captalns line up the team for calIsthenlcs and vary the exercise to eliminate a boring routine.

Also If they see bothersomeIncldents developing,the captains try to stop them before the Incldents mount Into major problems. Thus keeping the men moving and keepingmorale high are Importantduties carried out by the captains.

"Last year It took untilbasketball season before schoolspirit really took hold."

Dave also feels that the las; three games, espeeiallythe last game with Concordia, will determlne the championship.

Slnce these games willbe played on the home field, he feels the team has a good advantage.

Luther vs; Carleton The Lancers first defeat came in a non-conference game with Carleton, 5-1. AI-· though the team worked and pushed hard, they just couldn't find the goal. The only goalwas kicked In by Gordy vetter Inthe first half.

Luther vs, Bethany The Lancers captured their second win of the season by edging Bethany 3-2. The team, thoughplaguedbyinjuries, came through with lots of hustle and determination. One of the key plays came whenJoel Mischke headed out a potential goal for Bethany.

Luther's first twogoals came In the first half. Terry Vasold shot the first one In after takIng the pass from Bob Schroer.

The second goal was kicked In

by BobSchroer. The third goal came In the' second half when Larry Collyard dribbled the ball down from mid-field and punchedIt In.

Luther vs, st. Olaf The Lancers were handed their second defeat In a nonconference game with St. Olafthe score, 3-1. Putting forth a great effort, the team fought hard but couldn't seem to ralse the score. The only goalscored was put In by Terry vasol~.

Luther vs, Pillsbury The Lancers' first conference defeat came In a 4-0 loss to Pillsbury. In a hard fought game, the team had its problems. Bringing the ball down Into Pillsbury territory, they foundthe defense hard to break through. This defensewas never penetrated by the Lancer offense; the team drew Its first blank of the season.

Luther vs, Concordia The Lancers suffered their second conference defeat from Concordia In a tight game, the score, 2-1. Closely matched, the game was one of give and take all the way. The Lancers controlled the ball most of the second half, but couldn't seem to get the necessary goals. The only goal was punched In by Terry Vasold In the first half.

Time Out There Is much talk on campus these first few weeks of school concerning the progress (or lack of It) on the new gym-. naslum complex. Many students expected the building to be finished while others felt. .hat It would at least be ready for the opening of basketball season. Unfortunately,such will not be the case. The latest Is that the basketball floor will not be In playable conditionuntil sometime near Christmas.

We realize that this situation will make It hard on both fans and players early In the season. But we also feel that our closely-knit student bodywillputforth anextra effort to overco: .e any problems and will support our team. Let us hope that we do not hear any grumbling because we are sure that God's blessing' of a new gymnasiumwill be well worth the walt.

Whileon the subject of our newbutldlng,a tew quick thoughts come to mind concerning the student dress and conduct at our athletic contests. Our new bulldlng will surely draw many people who will be unfamiliar with DMLCand Its environment. It behooves us as Christians to make a favorable impression on these people by our dress and conduct at these games. Dorm dress Is certainly not proper for the newgym, nor Is rowdy conduct and bad language. Many people will not come back to our campus If these conditions exist at games as they did last year.

Althoughthe dress rules do not demand It, let us try to dress up for these events and act as Christian men andwomen.

In the Admlnlstratlon Building, soon to be the "classroom building,,' the floors for the lecture halls underneath the former gymnasium have been lald, and work Is continuing on the second floor of the new addition, besides progress previously reported.

Sewer System The sewer system laid on campus was completed a number of weeks ago, as was the base for a new transformer for the remodeled "classroom bulldln,," the concrete slab seen outside the library. Tbe new parking lot west of the gymnasium was also opened recenUy;._;. _

The theme for the Christmas celebration this year Is the words of Luther'shymn, "Dear Christians, One and All Rejoice."

To decorate the exterior of the campus Is the duty of the freshman class. On the front lawn of the AdmlnlstraUon Building a church has been placed. Centennial circle houses stately cherubim with a star on the tower aId sIlhouettes look from the student Union towards the church. Hillview Hall Is bedecked with two Christmas trees on the roof above the lobby.

The sophomore class Is responslbla for "'he hc;llIe of the Administration BulldtDg. Decorations Include twoChristmas trees In the front entry, a large nativity scene, and murals to fit the theme of Luther's hymn.

The Junior class has decorated St. Paul's church for the Christmas concerts and kept

the decoraUon plans secret until that night.

The dining hall decorated under the direction of the MLA senior class, of murals and a

Christmas tree covered with angel hair. The music center Is likewise bedecked with a Christmas tree and a colorful display of Christmas music.

Art, Literary Contests To Apply to Reformation

ADDITION to the Admlnlstratlon Butldlng takes shape as construction progresses.

OMLC will sponsor two contests, an art contest and a literary contest, as part of this year's fitting observance of the 450th anniversary of the Reformation.

These contests are being planned and arranged through the Luther Literary League and its special Interest groups.

Participation Is open to both college and Academy students.

Monday, February 12, Is the deadline for sublIlltUng art en-

tries and Wednesday, April 10, Is the deadline for submitting literary entries. The contests are being announced now already so that studenls will have the opportunity to work onproJe cts over the Christmas vacation.

Nine prizes will be awarded In each contest: three allschool prizes (first, second, and thlrd). Three College prizes (first, second, and thlrd). No student will be awarded more than one prize.

Editorial Christmas is just around the corner. But for DMLC,the city on the hill, Christmas is right now.Weare in the midst of concerts, parties, and decorations. One DMLCtradition at Christmas is the dormitory party. This is a time when students get together, along with several invited faculty members, and experience the spirit of fellowshipat Christmas time.

But is this howit really is?

How many of us attend these parties just because we should go, or becauseweplannedthem, or because we onlywantsomething to eat? Howmany students really get to know the members of the faculty and their wives, or viceversa? Our school is gettingtoobigfor students to becomeacquaintedwith the faculty at these parties.

Look at the problems involved with having a party in the dormitory for such a large group. The facilities are not well-equippedto feed so many people. Students must bring their own chairs and squeeze them into a relatively small area. More than oneparty must be held in order to accommodate everyone.Aprogram must be worked out to entertain the group.

Time is often scarce for the UMLCstudentat this time what with papers to hand in, tests to take, decorationstoput up, extra concert rehearsals to attend, and extra-curricular activities to keepup with.Consequently manystudents do not attend at all.

Is there a remedyfor this?

Wewouldoffer arecommendation in the form of a Christmas social. This wouldincrease the scope of the dormitory parties to include all students and faculty members and their wives at once.

This Christmas social might be held in the newstudent union,because it wouldbe a more convenientplace with already equippedfacilities for handlingfood.

Instead of an organized program, the social wouldbe informal, like an open-house reception. Studentsandfaculty alike wouldbe free to comeany time during certain designated hours. Theycould stay as long as they might like and visit with whomever they please.

The atmosphere wouldbe more relaxed and no one wouldhave to worry about a long drawnout party.

Christmas spirit is infectious; therefore an organized program is not neededto guarantee a successful Christmas "party." In fact, at a Christmas social, we wouldindeedexperience the feeling ofwarmth, friendship, and kindred spirit in this joyfulChristmas season.

The clarion notes of the angels sound on high, extending to all their message of peace and good will during this holy Christmas season. We send along our appreciation of your good will.

A WALK THROUGH THE PAST

Forty-Nine Years at DMLC (continued from Nov. Issue) As we reached the ball again,. north _ south direction, we turned to our right and passed through a double door entrance to the science and mathematics room. The one lab desk In the front of the room Was for the use of the Instructor who also performed all experiements for the classes. On opposite walls and between Windowswere four cabinets, each about eight feet by twelve feet, containing some hundred or so of mountedbirds, stones of every description, and numerable oddities of nature.

(1967 _ this.room would be the kitchen).

Many Displays Dan's Interest was really aroused at the stght of so many Items on display In the four cabinets, especlally the varied snake skins and the white crane.

With reluctance he finally followed me Into the hall where by now a very pungent odor met us. Of course, that required an explanation.

"OIl that smell?" I sxplalneeL "Tha.t's cabba,ge or a kind of sauerkraut which Willbe the

main course at the noon meal.

You'll smell that In the halls and classrooms for a few days.

By that time other odors will ba.ve replaced this. Imagine wrltlng a dlt!1cult examination In German andhave It garnished With the odors of pancakes, or try to concentrate onan experiment In the science room which already has Its own pecultar smell competing Withthe odors of sauerkraut. By the time the week Is up and the air has taken on a certain degree of normalcy, the order of meals Willrepeat."

"You mean to say, you are

able to tell what we Will be se rved ea ch day of the week?" questioned Dan. "You could lea.da blind maninto the hall and after a.fewsnlffshe would announce the correct day of the week," I smiled,

Extinguishers ?

"Those pot - bellled quart bottles With the long necks, hanging on the wall, what are they for?" Dan questioned.

"Those are nre extinguishers.

In case of nre, remove the botUes from the nalls, and toss Into the names. The nre, sup-

Opposite the Girls' ROOm·were rooms arranged for the kitchen help. To the left of the Faculty Room was a large classroom used for English and art, and served also as the book store.

Vividly I recall, just hefore United States entered World War 1, the college had placed an order for books from Germany, and that shipment was transported by the submarine "Deutschland" on Its last trlp to the neutral U. S. Shortly thereafter the United states declared war on Germany.

During our college enrollment, this room became the new lab room where students performed the required expel1ments. Across the ball were two medium-sized rooms. One was used for German, hiStory, and

COLLEGE CAMPUS KEPT BUZZING

Collegiate Council at Work At present the Collegiate Council Is busily engaged In several actlvltles and projects on campus. At the time of this writing, the Student Union, under the auspices of the Collegiate COImclI, Is holding elections from December 6 to 11. A Student Union president, vice-president, secretary, and treasurer are being elected so that they can set up rules and regulations before the opening of the new student union after Christmas. These officers Will also be responsible for planning the opening after Christmas and for drawing up a new student union constitution next semester.

Missions The Collegiate Councll Is currently Initiating a yearly mission program which involve s the Christian Chinese Luthe ran Mission In Hong Kong.

Another activity carried on under the auspices

and confusloo, both on campus and In correspondence with synod mission ot!1clals, this h as been dropped, at least temporarily.

Besides the monthly collectIons, the mission program this year Will also very likely Include a mission fair sometime In the spring.

The phlogiston science club is busy with several projects, including the annual sctenee fair to be held Inthe second weekend of March.

Because the second weekend of March Is also the date of a grade school basketball tournament, the fair will be held In Centennial gym. The phlogfstons set this date so that many parents and children visiting the campus for the tournament would also have an opportunity to view the projects.

The science fair will feature exhibits offered on the grade school, high school, andcollege levels. Grade school children from the area, high school students from Martin Luther Acadamy and possibly, Bethany and St. Croix, and DMLC students will partictpate, Winners In the three dlvtslons will be eligible to compete in the state reglonals at Mankato. and could conceivably advance to national competition.

The phlOglstons are also considering the possibWty of growing seedlings during the winter months for planting In the flower beds on Arbor Day and providing for their care during the summer months.

The club is sponsoring a photography class whichis open to new members from both the

academy and the college. lOrofessor Denninger instructs the members in printing, the use of diUerent types of cameras, and methods of developingfilm. meetings are usually on Wednesdays at 9:15 P.rn. .- The science club has involved itself In yet another project, selling science booklets. The

phloglstons have gathered the experiments which have been performed by the club In the past years into a booklet.

These booklets were sold for a 11m1ted time this fall, and will be sold again In the spring.

Copies may be obtained before then from president Carl Nolte or sec;retary Johanna Witte.

The negative team of Bob Klindworth and Tom Buege matched its achievement In the last tournament by beating Rochester State, although losing to highly regarded at!1rmative teams from SI. Olaf and Maca1ester.

Although this was the third

tournament of the year tor the debate squad, it was their first cross-examination tournament, III this type of debating, three minutes are set aside for each debater to ask questions of the opposition.

HIKES, HOOTENANNY, HIGH TIMES

Students Enjoy Work at Wouldn't it be great to have all the joys of Christmas - the .8011gS, the. decorations, the Santa Clauses, the Christmas trees - not only once a year but twice annually? Belleve it or not, several people on campus enjoyed such festivities last July and August.

As einployees ofGlacier National Park, Carol Martens, Liz Metzger, Judy O1tzman, Joyce and Jean Schroeder, as well as Tutor stadter, encountered many unusual experiences such as this during their three-rnonth stay out Westthispastswnmer.

Carol, Judy carol and Judy worked together at the lodge at Lake MacDonaid which ts the largest lake in Glac1ar park. Carol worked as a waitress whlle Judy acted as hostess and cashier In the d1nlng room. Since they shared a beach with other employees, they were abletodo a lot of swimming, rowing, and boat chartering during their spare time.

Although the girls had to

work six days a week, they did not rest on their day of!..

Instead,' they···h1kedor hitchhiked 40-60 miles In the park and had great times dOing It with fellow employees •

July Christmas Carol and Judy celebrated Christmas on July 25 and even New Year's Eve on July 31 when they went for a midnight crulse. Another big event for Judy was the Miss Glacier Park contest. Judy represented the d1n1ngroom in MaCDOnaldlodge and was judged on talent, a sportswear outfit, and semiformal attire. TO Judy this was an exciting opportunity to gain potse and self - confidence before an audience.

Liz Sing_s Liz Metzger was located on the opposite side of the park at Swiftcurrent Lodge Where she was employed as a camp store clerk, selUng glfts and also being a soda jerk. Liz said that where she worked they did not have such a Christmas cele-

She IIved in a rustic place, very rustic as a matter of fact.

It had a pot-bellted stove, but they stU! had fUn galore with plenty of parties.

Twin Waitresses Joyce and Jean Schroeder served as waitresses at one of !he smallest lodges, the Rising Sun. Hiking is common to all the employees but these two made 350 miles In one day on a jaunt to Canadal The twins recalled the pow - wows held twice a week at the lake. Here they sat around a campfire singing songs, roasting marshmallows, and having a riproaring time.

In addition, they also remember well their mountain cl1mblng stints, Joyce's experience of getting lost one day, and Jean's adventure of going to sleep on a mountain top and waking up to find herself surrounded by mountain goats. The daring two also went innertubing, not on a calm lake, but on the rapldsl

TUtor Stadler feels that he had one of the best jobs of tbe

park - acting as a bus driver and tour guide. This way he did not stay at just one hotel but •'11ved out of a sultcase the entire summer." What kind-of a bus did he drive? - a 1937 model with a canvas top.

Usually, Tutor worked aimost every day, but only from 9a.m. to noon. The rest was free time.

He feels that at first he liked best the Prince of Wales area 1n the Canadian section of the park, but towards the end he enjoyed -the MacDonald area even more.

Love Beauty All five seem to have generally the same impressions about Glacier: they love the peacefulness andtime for thinking, the beauty of nature so evident In the bright blue sides and snow - capped mount:uns, and the coolness of a' fresh mountain stream.

But most of all, they feel that the opportunity to meet people from all sections of the United states was the most rewarding and educational part of all.

C

HRISTMAS IS OBSERVED with more enthusiasm by children than adults. Although the significance of the season is appreciated more as they grow into adulthood, children feel that Christmas, of all the holidays, is their own special time of anticipation and happiness. Yet it remains for adults to teach children the meaning of this joyful and holy season. It is the adults who instill in young hearts the story of the Savior's birth and who excite young imaginations and fulfill them. Children would never think of obtaining a Christmas tree and decorating it, or remember that this longawaited day with all its glitter and excitement marks the birth of Christ. They would never think of giving one another gifts, singing the beloved carols, lighting candles, and all the other attendant activities of this very special season.

The spirit of Christmas is indeed universal and, for a time at least, the entire world is drawn more closely together.

Time Out A spark seems to be missing within the crowds at the college basketball games this year. Perhaps It Is that all home games have been played at the "neutral" public high court. It Is hoped that some excitement will return, as It was last year, when we resume play here. on campus.

But will the games be the same In our spanking new gym and simllar to thousands of others around the country, as they were In the old gym? Ab, the old gym!

What memories that must conjure up In the mlnds of veteran DMLC basketball fans. Who can forget bringing In the soccer bleachers to be set up In the gym so that the loyal Lancer stalwarts had a place to sltand cheer. How many of you gasped In anticipation of a Lancer hero's smashing Into the ever-present wall (padded?) on one end of the court, or vaulting Into the crowd on the OPPOsite end? A sweaty ball player In the lap surely could end In a promising date.

Then there were always the couples sitting on the stage by the organ "watching" the game In the dark. The poor souls must have had a terrible view from up there.

Do you reallze that we did have glass backboards In that old edltlce? (What a modern addition!) But they were so dusty they may as well not have been glass at all. There were so many things to remember: scoreboard donated by Mr. W.A. Retzlaff; the pep band In the corner; the Icy blasts when somebody opened tbe back door on a "hot" game; the smells of a thousand gymclasses past.

Ab, yes, these were wonderful, growing days of Lancer basketball. But, alas, we've gone modern. No more spllDters to hamper one's sitting for a week, for these neW bleachers are varnished and coated. All the modern conveniences of a contemporary gym, even a wlnnlng, racehorse basketball team to ma tch the exciting neW building. Let's just hope the fans can ca tch the contagious enthusiasm prevalent In the old gym, (ma.ybe the pep club could boWe some of the atmosphere from the old gym and release It lD the new one) and transfer this sPark to our new IQ'ID. Jus. thlnk, someday this year will be the "!!Ood old da.vs."

In My Opinion

Editorial

This column, a new feature beginning with thIs Issue, Is a hopeful attempt to Inject Into our campus community a Ilvely exchange of Ideas on pertinent Issues, necessary to prevent the stagnation of any institution of learning. This feature will also serve to broaden the scope of this newspaper, addingto Its functions that of being a springboard for discussion whIch may stimulate deeper thought and possibly corrective or help.. fully Innovative action.

Lack of snow certainly affected our traditions at DMLC this winter. Instead of building snow sculptures for the Snow Carnival, we made wall murals.

Besides this, everyone missed being awakened by the friendly scraping of busy snow shovels as the "Snow King" and his royal court set about their snow removal project.

Does anyone know if there even is a "Snow King" this year? It was a tradition to bestow this particular honor upon a freshman whose duty it was to watch for the coming of snow, arouse his fellow classmates early on a snowy morning and make campus sidewalks accessible by class time that day.

What Is sought Is not a gripe column, or small talk on petty problems, but renectlons of thought on Issues of broader significance, relevant not only to our school, as a student body of an institution, but also to us as human beings, as citizens in a democracy, and as future church workers.

Nurses Routine Well-Portrayed

By Mrs. Kaiser

The success of this column wlll thus both depend upon and reneet the vltallty of our student body Insofar as Its concern over baste Issues and the amount and quallty of thought on them Is concerned.

'l'he procedure wlll be as follows: a tOPiCwlll be presented in thls column in each Issue, on which we have chosen to sollclt wrItten opinions. These may be submitted to the MESSENGERby a given deadline before the next Issue. They should be kept as brief and to the point as possible, to allow for the printing of as many opinions as our Ilmlted space allows. No unsigned opinions wlll be consideredj however. if for goodreasons you Mrs. Kaiser sees about fifteen students desire to remain anonymous in print, thiS every day, but the number can rise to may be specified.

Maybe it's just being sentimental to hold on to tradition, but the "Snow King" and his royal court did get the job done.

In fact if the "Snow King" were around there would be no remnants of December's ice left on the Excelsior steps where snow plows just can't be efficient.

REFLECTIONS There is a near-by stream which I like To visit.

Some days it flows along calmly, quietly, smoothly, Other days it bubbles and babbles, joyfully, gaily.

Ther-e are some days when the thundercrashes, the lightening flashes, and the rain pours downin torrents.

On those black dreary days, the stream roars and swirls and sometimes even overflows its banks.

But after every storm, the sun eventually shines through the dark clouds and chases them away. and my friend. the stream, returns to tranquility.

Significance.

Besmas oelng favorably Im-

pressed with the students as well as with Improvements, the visitation committee has a report of wider significance.

When asked about the significance, President Frey replied, "Academic standards are usually directly or indirectly established by the leading publlc universities In the Individual states, Influenced, of course, by national

associations and accrediting agencies. Because churchoriented and private Institutions of higher education are not In the ma.lnstream In the same sense, a.t times there Is apprehension rega rdlng the academic quality of the curricular offerings of such institutions. Hence the very positive reaction of the recent visitation committee on this campus is an endorsement of the quality of the instruction and of the academic offerings at Dr. Martin Luther College.

Certa1n1y It Is a source of encouragement to both faculty and students that we are far from being acade mic orphans."

Lancers Finish As Victors

Retiring Seniors Reminisce As Successful Careers End Four Senior basketball players of the DMLCLancer squad saw action for the last time on February 28 against st. Paul Bible College.

For Mark Sprengeler, his Junior year was the best for him. However,he enjoyedparticipating with this year's team.

has not involved much

of a journalistic effort on my part, but It has made me a keener observer of the sports situa tion on the DMLCcampus, Onething I have noticed, and this is something I have harped aboutboth in and

out of print,

is the lack

of enthusiasm

on the part of

students at our basketball games. I felt cheated that I could not stand and cheer for our seniors at their last game, for surely they deserve more accolades than they received.

We think we are closer to each other here because of our small enrollment, so one could think we would more readily cheer for our friends. But, sadly, such Is not the case. You think, maybe these athletes don't hear our cheers? Well, let's see how It Is at a big, impersonal school of 35,000students called the University of Wisconsin. The scene Is the last U.W. home game of the year and It Is a big game withhighly-favored Purdue. Senior Joe Franklin, about to become a record-breakIng scorer, Is playing his last home game, supposedlybefore a majority 01 fellow students whom he's never even spokento belore. I'll let Bill Letwin of the MilwaukeeJournal describe what he saw: ('There was a lot ofemotlon wrapped up In the final home con.. test, starting with the long ovation senior Joe Franklin received from the crowd of nearly 12,000•••Coach John Erickson stood with bowed head wh1le Franklin was accorded a wellearned (two minute) tribute, and tears rolled downboth JJelr cheeks. The tremendous hand Franklin received from Badger fans ••• helped Inspire the lean Madison senior to his 31-polnt performance ••• and turn In the best performance of his career with 27.

"There was a further touch of sentiment in the closing minutes whenErickson sent In two reserves ••• and another wild display of cheering (ensued) when Franklin left the game witha minute to go.

"In an atmosphere so charged with feeling, the Badgers couldn't help but play their best against a,team which, till Saturday, had been a serious threat for the championship."

Please think about this seriously and next time you see our four seniors, or any team member, at least give them a nod of apprecla.tion. They deserve much more than we gave them In their last appearance.

Have you ever tuned in to the radio church service, 7:45 Sunday morning on KNUJ? What do you think of the choirs which beautify the service with hymns and anthems of praise?

Much of the music is provided by choirs of Dr. Martin Luther College. Hearers can assume that these students who are preparing for work in the church are filled with zeal and enthusiasm to proclaim the Gospel.

Believe it or not, enthusiasm is contagious and therefore the manner in which we as choristers sing is very important. If we slouch in our chairs and meekly mumble the words of the hymn, no one listening is going to think, Those young people have something to tell us. Their enthusiasm to proclaim the message comes from their hearts.

Did you realize the KNUJ audience reaches a far larger audience than do any of our concerts? We spend all year preparing for our concerts but only a few hours all year preparing for radio choir.

In 'this world of apathy, enthusiasm and zeal seem to get lost in the humdrum monotony of daily life. It's often true in the lives of us students that there just isn't time to be enthusiastic or zealous about anything because we're so busyattending to all the little tasks necessary to acquire a college diploma.

Each one of us must decide for himself what he feels is important in his life. No choir director can force anyone of us to Sing from his heart; it has to come from within.

The debate club is now considering the posslblllty of attending a two-day March tournament at the University of Wisconsin In"Madison.

Two functional areas of the new Luther Memorial Union, the gymnasium and refectory, have been 1n use since the return from Christmas vacation, a nd on Monday evening, February 5, the third and only remaining functional area, the student union - snack bar complex was officially opened.

It was appropriately preceded by a joint chapel service for college and academy students, faculty, and guests, with an address by Dean Huebner.

- This service also saw the initiation of the new, $14,000 Allen electronic organ, which will serve a s the chapel organ, both in our new gym and next year when chapel will be conducted In the remodeled auditorium, until the new pipe organ Is Installed In the auditorium in a few years.

The chapel service was followed by three short speeches.

Jerry Scheltel, Collegiate Coun ell vice president, again reminded the students of who and what they are, how they as Christians will properly use their new student union.

Dave Wendler, college sophomore Collegiate Council representative, explained the new dress code dra wn up by the Collegiate Council.

The final speaker was Ron Buelow, Student Union Board president, who explained the more technical aspects of the use or the new student union, such a.s the hours the student union and snack bar are open, and general rules of behavior.

Final activity In the gymnasium was a skit presented

by Kenn Kremer and Charlie Kuether, college junior and senior respectively, satirizing Cha rile taking his first blind date to the new student union, With the end of the skit, the large crowd shifted from the gymnaslum to the corridors and lobbies surrounding the student

DON'T KNOW WHICH WAY TO TURN?

Student Service Council Offers Aid (This Is the rtrst In a series of articles concerning various faculty committees at DMLC.) One of the Important groups on campus Is the Student service Council which aims to help students In developing the whole person and discovering all of the talenls they possess. This council deals with all student activities that are extra-cur rtcular, except athletics.

One of the ma In functions of the committee Is to act as the general coordinating agency for all organizations and clubs to which faculty advisors have been appointed. It also stands ready to counsel advisors who may request Its advice.

In addition, these men furnish the Christian guidance whereby student activities may fulffil their function and purpose. They also Inltiate and promote student activities that will contribute to the total educational program of the school.

This group is to have a minimum of five members, one of whom should be the dean of students. The other four are to be appointed by the administration for a term of four years.

These terms are staggered so that one appointment must be made each year. Incumbents are eligible for reappointment

LEFT TO RIGHT are Student Service Council members Dean Huebner, Prof Schroeder, Prof. Heckmann and Prof. Boernecke. Prof. Fischer not present for picture. as long as they are willing and able to serve.

Presently, the Council conslsts of Dean Huebner, who Is an advisor to the Student Union board; Prof. Martin Schroeder, who Is chairman and Luther Literary League Advisor; Prof.

Gilbert Fischer; Prof. Leroy Boernecke, who is advising the COllegiate Council: and Prof.

George Heckrna nn who Is sec re ; tary of the group whlle also In charge of the lyceum programs.

It Is the duty of the Council to process requests for organlzation and guidance of student clubs. Where channels for creating auvtsorsntps a re not automatic, the Student Service Council will make recommen-

dations for advisors to the faculty. Advisors become dIrecUy re sponslble for the particular function assigned to them but are encouraged to bring problems to the Councll for discussion and possible solutton, They !ben make periodic reports to the faculty and seek its advice when needed.

Time Out

The Luther Memorial UnionIs nowa reality, and It must be admitted that It Is truly a beauty; nothing has been overlooked to make this the most modern facUlty In the area. Something, however, Is lacking that wUl help keep the gym In Its beautiful condition. Rubber mats have not as yet been purchased to protect the floor, both for basketball games and' for concert events. SO 1llr, Lutherstudentsandjans havedonea commendablejob of keepIng off the playingfloor ItseU, but the area around the edge of the court has already sbownsome wear, and one wonderswhat wUl happen when the entire floor area Is used for concerts. The area In front of the main bleachers has been marred and dirtied and thoughwe have a "guarantee" that the floor can absorb any abuse or dirt, one wondersjust howlong the floor can be preserved before It begins to wear through the protective seal. Even If the floor ItseU Is not damaged, It Is not appealingto the eye to see the court ringed with dragged In dirt and grime. Surely someone has made an oversight and protective mats will quicklycorreCt this. But If this ts not an oversight, thenI think It wouldbe fitting for a group or groups,

on or off campus,

to donate this needed

equipment. Only then will we be able to viewthis fadUty with true pride.

It was noted that manyNewUlmpeoplewere In attendanceat the first varsity games played In the LMUgym. This number has been dwindlingsteadUythroughthe past few gamesand will probably be next to nothingby the end of the year. The lure of a new gymhas worn off and somethingnew Is neededto bring "the town people" up to the games. Starting next season whycan't the Pep Club make a concerted effort to saturate the town with posters and schedules In order to let the NewUJmitesknowwhenwe are competing. The New Ulm Journal does a goodjob of keepingthe towninformedof our gameresults, butthe announcementsof comIng games are usually small and too late to be useful. I'm sure that a planned advertising drive of this sort, handledby the Pep Club, would boost attendance and give us a feeling of being part of the townInstead of "that schoolon the hUl." Paul Gehde

North Hennepin On December 16,theLancers were host to North Hennepin, losing by a score of 102-86.

DIck Slattery led the scor-Ing with 36paints.

They returned vtetortous, with a win of 103-99. DickSlattery led theLancer scoringbypumpIng In 41 paints.

Dick Slattery led the Lancer scoring with 41 paints.

Austin January 13, 1968, marked a special date for the Lancers.

On this date, they played host to Austto before a capacity crowd; It was their first game In the Luther Memorial gymnasium. In the words of Captain Jack Gronholz, "It's SOme ... thing we've all been waitingfor for a long time. It was a real morale booster!" Spuredon by this factor, he led the Lancers to a 95-89 win, pumpingIn 31 paints.

WUmar On January 17, the Lancers played host to WUlmar,losing a squeaker, 101-99. Mark sprengeler led the Lancer offensive, scoring 34 paints.

Concordia January 20,the Lancers traveled to Concordia. Leadingthe Lancer squad, Dick Slattery dumped In 26 paints. However, the Lancers returned with a loss, 92-81.

Worthington The Lancers played host to Worthington on January 24.

They grabbeda winbythescore

of 96-89. Mark Sprengeler led the scoring with 36 paints.

Rochester On January 27, the Lancers were host to Rochester, suffering a defeat of 95-78. Dick Slattery led the scoring with 22 paints.

Lakewood On February 3, the Lancers traveled toLakewood,returning with a victory, the score being 111-65. Jack Gronholz led the even-scoring squad with 16 paints.

Anoka-Ramsey The Lancers played host to Anoka-Ramseyon February 7, losing by a score of 92-73.

Leading scorer for the Lancers was Mark sprengeler, who

droppedIn 27 paints.

Bethany The Lancers traveled to archrival Bethanyon February 10, at the V1kIngshomecoming; they lost 96-85. AlthoughtIie Lancers led In rebounding,5945, and had a better shooting percentage, 43-31, they just couldn't win. High-paint man for the nightwas Jack Gronholz, whopumpedIn 33paints.

Lookinghack over thegames, one finds the Lancers have had their ups and downs.Senior Guard and Captain, Jack Gronholz said that the season has been a bit dlsappalntlng,for he feels this year's team has the patentlal for more wins than they have attained. "Besides," he said, "losing to BethanyIs always dlsappalntlng!"

Military Notice Applies to Some (Information received from Mlnnesota headquarters of Selective Service System).

Minnesota Draft Boards w!l1 schedule coll.ge seniors and first-year graduate students for armed forces physical examinations startlng In April. This Is being done to enable those students who w!l1 be subject to reclassification early In the summer to plan for the future with more certainty, based on the results of their mllitary physical examlnatlons.

This program Is considered to be an accommodation to students who will want to know If they are physically acceptable for m!lltary duty or If they are not acceptable and can thus make other plans.

A registrant who Is ordered to report for p~!ysical examination need not necessarily return to his own local board for this purpose. Selective Service Regula. tlons provide that a registrant may request a transfer for his physical examInation. This request may be made with any local board. The procedure for such a transfer action is given on the order to report for armed forces physical examination which each registrant w!l1 receive.

OFF TO MADI SON

Debaters in Tournament DMLC debators had their first experience with "A" division or varsity debating when they competed In the University ot Wisconsin's annual forensic tournament at Madison, Wisconsin, on March 8 and 9.

Previous matches had been In

noviceor uB" divisiontournaments. To make It still tougher, each school was limited to six participants; therefore the DMLC debaters met the best competition the various schools had to oUer. The debate club sent tour debaters: Marc Schroeder and Laura Lemke on one unit, and Bob Klindworth and Tom Buege as the remaining unit. Each unit debated In six rounds, three as at1lrmatlves and three as negatives. Their topic was "Re_ solved: that the United states government should guarantee a minimum annual cash Income to all Its citizens."

Marc and Laura won two of their six rounds, against Bethel College and Wisconsin State University _ Platteville. They lost to the University of Wisconsin, the University of Pennsylvania, the University of Northeastern Missouri, and the College ot St. Thomas.

The second unit, Bob and Tom, was unable to win any debates against strong teams from Macalester,IndlanaState, Iowa State, Eastern Michigan, and the Wisconsin State Universities at River Falls and: Oshkosh.

Eastern Wlnols won the tournament and Marquette tlnished second. ' The debate club partlclpated In six tournaments this year, for an over-all record of 16 wins and 41 losses.

the debate coach, noted that this year's program was the most ambitious In the -history at the club. He added that the switch sides tournament at Madison was particularly challenging, since members had to argue both viewpoints and gather evidence tor both the affirmative and the negative arguments.

The English department has recognized the great intellectual and social stimulation de-

rived from debating by approvIng a modest Increase In the club's budget for the 1968-1969 season, subject to the tlnal approval of the administration and the business office. "If we can get more members of the student body to participate In the strenuous but rewarding activity of debate, we should have an even more exciting season next year," predicted Professor Schroeder.

College Choir Ready For Touring States The Dr. Martin Luther College Choir wlll begin its Reform ation Anniversary Tour tomorrow, April 10, under the theme "Proclaiming the Everlasting Gospel."

The Theme for this commemoration was suggested by the text chosen tor Reformation Day, "And I saw another angel tly In the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach_."

Revelation 14:6.

The Lord God used Luther to proclaim again the everlasting Gospel, whose truths had become hidden to man. By God's grace, that Gospel is still being proclaimed to man.

Literary League

Began in 1800~s The Luther Literary League, the oldest known organizaton still existing on campus, began In 1890. At that time the League met each week of the month, whereas the present L.L.L. meets once a month.

At each meeting of the L.L.L. the following program was followed: one declamation, two five - minute speeches, one essay, and a debate. The topic tor the debate was selected at the previous meeting and one person was chosen for the affirmative and one for the negative position. The topics chosen were always educational in nature, for instance, "Knowledge makes man happy" and "Love has a greater influence on man than fear." Each debate was thoroughly judged.

The LLL has expanded over the years to offer opportunities for students to express a varIety of talents.

At the present time the L. L. L. Is divided Into four clubs: The Art Club, Creative Writing, Drama, and Children's Theater. At each monthly meeting one of these clubs presents some type of enter-

talnment to all the others.

At the last LLL meellng It was decided to open the LLL uieetmgs to all'-college students for the rest of the year. in this way the students w1l1 become acquainted with LLL and Its activities.

Programs will be presented by Drama Club and Children's Theater at the March and April meetings, which arc held In the evening on the first Monday of every month.

The Drama Club has sponsored dramatic presentations such as THE MIRACLE WORKER, SHE LOVES ME and w111produce OKLAHOMA this year. Children's Theater has produced LITTLE RED SHOES and HANSEL AND GRETEL, plays especially geared for children's enjoyment. The Art Club sponsors the Art Fair each year and Creative Writing publishes the Forensic each year and publishes PEN POINT in the Messenger each month.

All of the Interest groups of Luther Literary League strive to Improve their means of expression and share their talents with others.

LUTHER MEMORIAL UNION, our new multi-purpose building will be dedicated to the glory of God at 3:30 p.m. on April 28,1969. To Him we students especially wish to extend our thanks.

A building of this size and the purposes for which it is intended required many hours of careful planning, for it houses three areas that desperately needed attention on our campus: a new dining facility, a student union, and a gymnasium, the latter of which can also be used for gatherings of 2000 or more.

Planning in itself, however, does not accomplish much, if any-

thing, if the funds for construction are not available. To meet this urgent need, as well as those found on other Synodical campuses, a program called Missio Dei was initiated and carried out. This program gave opportunity to the membership of the Synod to participate in an originally conceived $4,000,000.00 collection to be used in the synodical building program. Those involved certainly deserve our thanks.

Concern for the success of this venture, urged on by the spirit of Christian giving, moved the members of the Synod to pledge even a larger amount. With this assurance of financial support, the officials of the Synod could permit planners, architects, and contractors to begin working. This building is a product of their labors. Our heartiest thanks go out to them.

Despite the extensions of time required to complete this structure and the unwillingness to wait until it could be occupied, students agree that the quality of construction that is found in it was well worth the wait. The name John Heymann

Construction Company, the general contractors, has become almost a by-word on campus, Brandt of Olivia, the electrical contractors, Ebert Heating and Plumbing, and Okens, suppliers of kitchen equipment, as well as a host of others who did subcontracting have won our applause. For each individual worker the student feels some admiration as for one who did a good job. A "thank you" goes out to all who participated in the construction.

Special mention should be made to 'I'oltz , King, Duvall, Anderson & Associates, Engineers and Architects of st. Paul, for their contribution. Mr. Wayne Olson, of this firm, designed the building.

Nor would we forget to extend our thanks to the Businessmen and citizens of New Ulm, to whom we should say, "Your warmth toward the school and its student body has been shown us by your various considerations and gifts, and your interest in us is demonstrated by your attendance at our campus functions. Your very questions provide students with a feeling of belonging to the local community."

A special "thank you" is also in place to the New Ulm Daily Journal. Through its assistance and cooperation we are able to publish for this occasion a more extensive issue of the Messenger.

It is our hope that each of you who have contributed in some way to the reality of Luther Memorial Union may be with us on the day of dedication or, at least at some later date. to witness our appreciation of your endeavors. We welcome you.

Time Out DMI,C beaten by Austin! DMLC loses to Bethany! These are headlines that we have all seen many times during the sports season. But how many of you have stopped to think just what these news Items mean? Well, plainly and simply, they mean that a. rather large, long established, four-year college that draws students from all parts 01 the nation Is being beaten by two-year junior colleges that are relatively new andthatdraw their student bodies, lor the most part, from the local area of the school.

It seems a bit incongruous that we, as a tourvyear college, cannot even compete athletically with two-year schools. The dilference lies In the 1% of the junior college student body that they fondly refer to as their "scholarship athletes." Plainly, the likes of M,~tropnlitan's Oliver Shannon, Rochester's Bob Savoy and W\llmar's Abe Gibbons are not going to these schools because "Dad went there." They are being recruited for the purpose of playing basketball and playing It well. Gratuities and/or tuition help is usually given these players In return for their choice of playing ba.l tn Minnesota. You can't tell me Abe Gibbons cam" to MiIUlesotafrom Augusta, Ga., because he likes the climate here.

Don't get me wrong, however. I'm not knockingthese schools or players for their e!lorts. Rather 1 applaud them for their efforts to give young men a chance to play ball and attend school besides. What 1 am saying Is that we as a school had better give this situation a second and even a third thought. I'm not condoning gifts, tuition or any other financial aids; because we can't afford It and It goes against the basic philosophy of our Christian thought.

However, what 1would like toseelsa concerted effort on the part of our Athletic Department to get some ot our synod's top players to come to our school. We must send our recruitment letters, have our coach visit the area high schools to make personal contacts and we must have these players visit us and see our grand, new facilities.

We send out recruitment people to extol the general virtues cf our school to cater to the general interests of the high school audience. But why not concentrate In a certain area or areas; and why not start that effort out with athletics?

In a recent Interview Athletic Director Kaiser of DMLC gave hls personal opinion that he would not be against letter writing and/or personal contact with promising athletes, hoping to attract them to play and learn here. He did say, however, that this would be an area that would have to have the approval of the faculty or Board of Directors. Let us hope that steps are taken to pat sam.' plan of a etten Into motion. If we a re to continue to compete,. even against two.yoar colleges, let us make an honest effort to be competitive.

In Auditorhnn Music Depends On Allen Organ An Allen electronic organ was purchased lor $14,000, and has been tempora rlly Installed in a room off the stage primartly for use during morning chapel services held twice a week In the gymnasium. This organ will be moved into the newly remodeled auditorium next year, and will remain there until the proposed pipe orga n Is installed.

Ground was broken on July 30, 1966, and the cornerstone was laid on July 16, 1967. The building Itself opened shortly after Christmas, 1967.

Luther Memorial Union provides students with a wholesome recreation center, both from the standpoint of physical exercise to one of relaxation and refreshment.

In the lower half-levells an adequate and pleasant food center. immediately above this Is the Student Union which provides a home-ilke lounge. It also provides better mall service, a game and TV room, plus a meeting room for student organizations.

There is also a snack bar complete with tables and juke box to entertain students.

The new gymnasium Is another welcome addition. Shower and locker rooms are much finer than previous ones. Inaddltion to providing room for athletic events, the gym also

provides space for concerts, ptays, and graduation. Better seating Is available, also, with refinished armchalrs In the balcony.

It Is Indeed with grateful hearts that the Board of Control, .facu1ty, and students of DMLC acknowledge the grace of God in all of those who have given the campus a muchneeded and much-appreciated ,facillty.

Central Lounge Provides Space For Socializing The student lounge,localed In the center of Luther Memorial Union, Is available for student use throughout each day and evening.

The gold carpeted floor, attractive, comfortable chairs and interesting original paintings on the walls make the lounge a favorite place for students to relax during freetime throughout the day.

Students find that the lounge provides a good place to chat with friends, read, play chess, or reView class notes during free hours.

Many students think the lounge is a handy place to wait until the mealtime rush subSides, so they don't have to wait In a long line.

Building Committee Busy As Campus Keeps Growing (This Is the third In a series of articles on faculty comrltlttees.)

Many months of work by the Building - Planning Committee have recenUy been manifested In the opening of the Luther Memorial Union and will soon be seen In the new addition to what Is presenUy known as the Administration Building.

'Through the work of this and former commlttees, DMLC's campus has grown considerably and still continues to blossom.

Heading the group Is Prof.

J. Trapp as chairman. Work_ Ing with him are Prof. E. Fredt"ich, H. Kelse r, Mr. A. Mueller who Is an attorney,

e.

Rev. E. 'F. Peterson from st.

James, Mr. Harold Just, and advisory members, E. Seifert, and F. Andersen. These men consult to discuss upcoming plans and to decide on the h~'ll way they can help the school.

According to Prof. Trapp, the men started considering the Idea for Luther Memorial Union already In 1959. The time Intervening gave them opportunity to pore over numerous plans to find the one best snlted for DMLC. To cite an example, an open court was originally drawn In the complex, but because this, space underground could be better utilized as much storage space and the upper level to Increase the size of the lounge, it was substituted for the latter. This was only one of the many Ideas that underwent change.

Originally, It was hoped that the building would be completed sooner but due to unforseen difficulties it was delayed. However, this did not stow up the Committee who sta rted work on something else _ the new addition to the Admlnlstratlon Building.

Now that this plan Is also

003 rlng

completion, the commlttee Is contemplating Ideas for a new dormitory connected to Hillview Hall as well as a new Administration Building connected to a new library. Of these new additions to the campus t:B new administration building Is presenUy on the drawing boards.

The Commlttee reaUzes that because of the present needs and continuing growth In enrollment the planning must go on. speaking for the committee, Prof. Trapp Is glad to see students making good use of the Luther Memorial Union.

Campus Groups Often Occupy Meeting Room The Meeting room Is located a n the eastern side of the buIldIng, around the corner from the TV room. This room, as the name implles, serves as a meeting place for such organizations as the Collegiate COUDcll and the Student Union Board.

The room Is weII equipped ior'i.ts purpose with 16 to 20 chalrs around 2 long tables, a round table with 4 chalrs, 2 couches, and cupbaords and drawers for storage.

Dedication (Continued From Page 1) house will be conducted for Interested members of area congregations. Tours of the building will be conducted from 1:30 - 2 p.m, On the da y of dedication, guides will be stationed throughout Luther Memorial Union to give Information to the crowds as they pass through the building. .

In the evening of the 28th, the College Choir wtll present Its Reformation Anniversary Tour Concert.

School boards have been convinced - the curriculum was revamped, walls were torn down, and architectural plans redrawn.

Almost overnight - In terms of how long it usually takes to bring about a nation _ wide change in education - a significant number of high school systems throughout the United states took a major step. In the past five years modular curriculum, sometimes called fiexlble scheduling, has been implemented in hundreds of U. S. high schools, 13 of them In the Twin Cities area.

The University of Minnesota offered educators a look at what happened and a t what's coming during an Institute on Modular Currtculumr The Second step and Second Thoughts,

held April 8 - 10 at the Pick-Nicollet Hotel In Mlnneapalls.

The Institute, conducted by the University General Extension Division's department of conferences and institutes, attempted to define the important facets of the change as It affects students, faculty and administration. The program was open to anyone associated with the field of education and was

of Interest to persons concerned with both public and pri va.te schooling.

The Institute was ottered In cooperation with the University's College of Education, the Minnesota Department of Education, the Minnesota Association of Secondary School Principals and the Minnesota Association of School Admlnlstra-

tors,

Meetings were l.e ld on the first Monday of each month at which time one of U1eInterest groups would have a progra m to present to all U1eLLL memhar-s, At the first meeting of the year, 65 students were Officially accepted into Ite League. Attendence at m- '.lngs declined Until at the January meeting 24 members were present, In February, 25; March, 9 and April, 21.

LLL problems were discussed at great length at Advisory Board meetings when LLL Advisor, Prof. Martin Schroeder met with the officers of the League and interestgroup chairmen. They reviewed the LLL Constitution and discussed possible changes. Even after much discussion, the body could not find a reason for the lack of enthusiasm in the League.

The League conducted an experiment from February through April in which they

invited the whole student body to LLL presentations; however, this action did not increase the turnout for meetings.

Presentations at monthly rmetings this year included, HArt In Action" an exploration into various media of art by the Art Club, a puppet show presented by the Advisory Board, original poems and stories by Creative Writing, a pantornlme demonstra.tion and a speaker from Mankato State

by Drama Club and an original play by Children's Theater.

Each group put milch work Into its presentation, but very few LLL memhers ca me to see the presentations.

The League decided It must no longer serve a purpose as a League since all business was carried on In the interest groups; and with no purpose for existing, It decided It should no longer continue to exist.

After considering the problems and possible solutions, the LLL members cast their votes 17, in favor, and 3, against dissolving the Luther Literary League, April 8, 1968.

Editorial Criticism. How easy it is to criticize. How often haven't we heard critical comments in class, in the lunch lines, in the dorms? It is easy to acquire the habit of criticizing, but hard to keep a cheerful, optimistic outlook at this point of the schoolyear. Why? Pressure of daily work, tests, and final projects during the last 31/2 weeks of school is almost overwhelming. Students also bear the brunt of social and athletic events, upcoming concerts, and extra-curricular activities. This load is staggering.

On May 7, the collegiates attended the spring activity, "An Old-fashioned Picnic." In spite of the pressure from classes and activities, and of depressing weather conditions, student attendance was very good. Compared to previous years, student turn-out was better than before.

It was heartening to see so many students present. Several times this year a charge of indifference, non-interest, and non-concern was leveled at the DMLC student body, based on student participation and attendance at activities held previously this year. However, student attendance at the Oldfashioned Picnic disproved this charge.

We would like to commend the student body for making this picnic a success. The committee in charge of the picnic should also be commended for its work. Even though there were hindrances, moving the picnic indoors and limited time owing to play practice, the job was well done. The theme was carried out well. The program offered variety, moved along without dragging, and didn't seem to be drawn out.

What If the world of fantasy and Idealism really existed and on May I, 1968, you could have been at Red Square?

Close your eyest What do you see? What do you feel? The crowd Is In a spirit or high expectations. You can hear the music or the bands, the rhythm of marching feet, and the gasp of the crowd as the newest military equipment rides by. They are rejoicing In the Ideals of which their country boasts. lt really is too ideally fantastic to be in Red Square, but it would not be so unreallstic for one of us to be in New York.

Ga to Hamilton Hall and perch yourseUon the left side-window, Close your eyest What do you hear? What do you feel? Oh, yes, there Is an air of expectation. You hear the shouting of bands of robbers, the rhythm of running feet, and the gasp of satisfaction because the Dean's office is pillaged. They are rejoicing In the ideals or which they boast.

Really now, we have studies and we must stay InNew Ulm. Remember the first day of Ma.y. Imagine yourself, Instead, leaning on the east hall window of Centennial. Close your eyest Whatdoyouhear now? Oh , it 1s an air of expectation! The wind Is warm and bringing sounds. Tl!,e

of five - such 11vlng was a burden on finances a nd the Koelpins were considering a return to the U. S. However, relatives of Dr. Howard Vogel, New Ul m, who 11ve In Germany, learned from him of the Koelplns' presence In Germany and located them.

The Hoffmann's took Mrs. Koelpln and the children Into their home which enabled Prof.

Koelpln to search for an apartment with the aid of their son, Ludwig, who was also studying theology In Erlangen.

Secures Home At first there was much difficulty In securing housing as the people there had had previous unhappy experiences with members of the American army. But finally they found an unfurnished apartment In a village, Frauenaurach, several' miles from Erlangen.

Soon many people were assisting them and they were able to furnish the home enough to make It fairly comfortable living. With a family of five It was too expensive to do the laundry at a. public laundromat (75 cents a load); consequently, Mrs. Koelpln cooked the clothes on the stove until they were able to purchase a washing ma chine.

Prof. Koelptn said that living wa.s very high priced In Germany but that labor was cheap.

An hourly wage of one dollar

was considered good, For example, a haircut In Germany carried a charge of 50 cents whereas In many American cities It would be $2. A pound of beef there ran as high as $1.29 per pound. Many of the food products were Imported from other countries. Clothing was manufactured at home and Imported from Italy.

Despite the high cost on some articles the quality was very good.

Aeolians End All Rehearsals The Aeollans have been a volunteer singing organization

on campus for several years.

It seems that there has been a lack of interest for the last couple of semesters and the attendance has dropped cons~derably.

Therefore the Aeollans have disbanded for the r est of this year. It is hoped that by next tall Interest will be restored so that the Aeolians may become active once again.

his illness came to Prof. Koelpin whenhe was examined in the hospi tal after a three weeks seige. By means of a number of tests and a chestx-ray thedoctor diagnosed the Illness to be most serious. To remain In the

country would have meant a possible quarrantine for an extended period of time; therefore, the Koelpins, within five days, had disbanded everything and were on their way back to the States.

Alter Dr. Vogel In New Ulm diagnosed Prof. Koelpln, the illness was termed as pneumonia, from which Prot, Koelpin had been suffering for four to six weeks.

Sprecht Dcut.â&#x20AC;˘ch Mrs. Koelpln, Paul, 5, Ma.rk, 4, and John, l~, also enjoyed living In Germany. Paul, who attended kIndergarten, speaks German and said thathe missed his friends, whose nameshe quickly and naturally rolled out with a genUineGerman accent.

In Germany the youngsters begin kindergarten at the age of three.

Fceling Beller Feeling a gradual Improvement of health, Prof. Koelpln Is looking forward to returning to the Dr. Ma.rtln Luthe r College faculty. Any further study necessary for completion of his studies will have to be done In the summer months.

Active Man Since coming to the DMLC faculty In 1962 Prof. Koelpln has had such responsibilities as Instructor of modern European history, Amerlcanhlstory before 1865, modern church history and Old Testamentlsogoglcs, Collegiate Council advisor, Junto advisor, class of 1968 advisor, member of Student Service committee and of the Athletic committee, and helped to frame the guidelines for the Correspondence Course program.

As of this time there are 35 male and 96 female calls to be lllled by 41 male and 84 female candidates. The candidate totals Include past graduates serving as tutors or emergency teachers, which means that there will be additional vacancies.

Within the 1968 class there are 22 women who are planning marriage before June '69. Since 1966, It has become a policy not to assign such by the committee; however, these women are still quallUed and eligible for a divine call. Since there Is a possibility that a married woman teacher might be unable to complete the school year It is unfair to assign such a person to a congregation; however, If a congregation wishes to accept the possibility that they may loose a female teacher before June such responsibility rests with them. A woman planning marriage before the end of her first year of graduation receives her call to a congregation through the district president, and after graduation.

INSTRUMENTAL SEMINAR

DMLC Holds New Workshop A new type of seminar presented in the Music Center choi r room on Wednesday evenIng, May 1st, at 8:00 p.rn, drew approximately seventy people.

The workshop dealt with Instrumental music in the church service and utilized selections for woodwinds, brass and voice with organ. The music ranged roughly from classical to contemporary eras.

Miss Judith Kresnlcka, a DMLC plano and organ Instructor, organized the workshop In late January. Fifteen students prepared for the various numbers.

The seminar was narrated by Miss Kresnicka, who afterwards had this to say: "The program went very well. For most of the participants it was a new experience and, I'm sure, an invaluable one. "l would like to give special mention to Prof. Carl Schalk, a composer at Concordia Teacher's College in River Forest, illinois. It was through his generosity that we were able to use his yet unpublished chorales for instruments, organ and voice."

After the seminar, which lasted one hour, the participa nts were able to browse through a colorful display of the music used that evening, as well as many other Instru-

With Optimism, DMLCBabnen Face Opponents

Time Out

Luther's squad took the field against Mankato State In a non-conference baseball game 00 April 22. Dick Waldschmidt pitched six scoreless Innings but tired and was replaced, The Lancers then fell behind and lost 4_3.

To most people the coming of spring means a time of joy. It means,an opportunity for more time out of doors and a fresh new outlook toward the remaIning weeks of school. But Is this always the case? Just what is the general "attitude" here on campus now that spring Is here? Let us consider this question as true Christians. In the two years which I have been here at DMLC during the spring, I have noticed a general trend among students. Possibly contrary to popular belief, I found a not-sa-joyous student body. Instead one finds students complaining about too many classes, too many practice periods, term papers, speeches and others. I suppose that this takes place for a,number of reasons, including the weather and the time of the school year. This attitude may be excused as natural by many of us and even harm-

less.

I tend to disagree. AsI noted before, this attitude Is prevalent and noticeable and does not always give favorable Impressions to those who come in contactwith our school. As sinful human beings we occasionally need things to be pointed out to us. In this case, I would like to point out to 36 college men that this attitude Is not only unfavorable, but also unnecessary. These 36 rnon are those who are participating In our spring sports. These individuals, In addition to piano or organ practice periods, term papers and speeches, are putting in approximately 10-12 hours a week into ,Sports and undergo both physical and mental strain in representtng their school In Interscholastic sports. Yet these people are able to do these very things which we complain about, and in less ttrne, I can't help admiring the attitude of these Individuals and looldng upon It as an example for us. I think these people should be rewarded for their extra effort. To encourage them one should do homework, and then get out and watch the baseball game, the golf team, and encourage the tennis tearn. But most of all, have a really joyous sprtngt Ron Buelow

Many ... But Yet Too Few (Continued from Page 3) concern and interest of the pastor and members of the congregation.

Recent reports Indicate that two additional congregations may open schools next tall.

Within the Wisconsin Synod there are a total of 232 seltsupporting or mission schools.

They are: Arizona, 9; Cali .. rorma, 3, Colorado, 1; IlllnoIs, 9; Iowa., 2; Michigan, 29; Min.. nsota, 30; Nebraska, 11; North Dakota, 2; ouc, 3; South Dakota, 3; Washington, 3; Wisconsin, 127 (20 In Milwaukee).

Summer School Within some states Christian day teachers need certification from the State Department of Education of that state. Arrangements for certification vary from state to state. Recngnitlon which DMLC has reeel ved from the University of Minnesota has made It easier for graduates of DMLC to acqulre certification In 'states where It Is needed by Christian day school teachers.

When attendance ata summer school between graduallon and the fall session of schoolls requlred of an assignee by state to which he has been assigned, then Synod carries such ex-

penses as tuition. board and some travelling expenses.

States which require Immediate summer school have been Washington and South Dakota.

Emergency Cans In the la.st three years there have been 25-35 emergency teachers assigned per year from DMLC. From June '67 till now 37 emergency teachers have been assigned. Also some congregations were able to fill their own emergency needs from within their congregation.

It Is possible that there will be a similar number of emergency poslUons durng 1968- 69.

There will be a meeting of all assigned Individuals after call night. Prof. Schulz states that time and place will be reported at a later date.

Empty Pulpits According to statistics within the NORTHWESTERN LUTHERAN there are 62 pulpit vacancies and 31 candidates.

These Seminary graduates will receive their calls on May 28.

The assignment committee for them remains the same; while the advisory members are replaced by representatives from the seminary faculty,

Golf Team Boasts Five Returning Men Luther's golf team ha s good reason to be optimistic this season. Not only does the team have 5 returning lettermen, but 2 very impressive newcomers, The lettermen are as follows: John Taylor, Ron Buelow, Terry Vasold, Da.ve Fehlauer, and Jay Roth. The newcomers are Junior - transfer Dan Feuerstahler and freshman Pa.ul Bertolus. Both have already broken into the "top 4" starting lineup and are playing good, consistent golf. Best of all, is the fact that the team Is undar the very capable leadership of New Ulm Country Club professional, Lyle Westrum.

The real reason Luther's golf team Is optimistic lies In the way the team has performed thus far this season. After their first 2 meets, the team has beaten 4 opponents t.y a total of U8 strokes.

The tlrst meet wa.s a DMLC invitational here at New Ulm Country Club. Our team put on an outstanding performance,

Tennis Players Battle Others This year has seen eight men vying for positions on the Lancer tennis team. Spirited competition produces good balance on our team which may lead to be a successful season.

The team has played three matches, with a fourth match called off because of rain. The Lancers have won 2 matches over WllIma r both by the score of 5-1, while losing to a good Rochester team by 9-0. Now the team Is looking forward to the next ma tches a galnst Austin JC and Concordia.

Other Luther scores: Dan Feuerstahler, 35; John Taylor 36, and Paul Bertolus, 37.

The Luther gal! team also overcame 3 opponents at the Austin Invitational. Here the team was led by Paul Bertolus, whose 84 was only 3 strokes from being medalist.

The next home meet for Luther Is May 21 at the country club. The team expects an even bigger spectator turnout than last time.

WILLMAR The Lancers suffered their first conference loss against Willmar JC on May 1. Willmar got off to a fast start to go on to win 5-0. Highlighting the game Was some flne relief pitching from Larry Collyard.

COMING SCHEDULE Under the leadership of coach Gary Dallmann and Tutor Carl Lemke, the Lancers are looking forward to a successful season.

The coming schedule Is Increasingly challenging and so support Of the ga me through attendance at the games re.natns very Important.

Final Thanks Last but not least, we thank you, the student body, faculty, and, alumni, for your contri-' butions, support, andconstructive criticism. Pointing outerrors and correcting false impressions improve quality of a newspsper.

Room for improvementalways exists in whatever we undertake. This applies to the MESSENGER, too. Students, take an active interest in your paper because it represents you to manypeople both withinand outside synodicalcircles. Make your paper what you want it to be.

.Look Forward Never fear to expandor widen the scope,of, the MESSENGER.This applies to campus life as well. However, a completebreak withpastpractices is not wise. Let the past guide you into the future, so that you may revise or adapt present practices to future needs.

Workin the pr.esentfrom the past to the future. Increasing growthof the studentbodymust be considered in planning for the future. Keep in mind that what worked or was good for a student bodyof 200-300rriay not be practicable for a student body of 600.

Same Goal Students at DMLCwill continue 'to be a unified bodyin Christ, since all are pressing toward the same goal- service in the Lord's vineyard.

Yet not all the students will know each other personally.

With an increase in the number of students comes a decrease in personal contactwith all fellow students.

Our campusandcampusfam~ By must learn to adjust to this growth in the student body. A good wayto knowand to be in'formed about people and activities is through the MESSENGER. Let it continue to be a vehicle amongstudents, faculty, alumni, and others interested in DMLC•.

Doubles Duo Snatch Crown

Time Out

In the tlnal match, Rochester's team was a real challenge.

The scores tor the final match were 6-4, 4-6 and 7-5.

In the singles action, Tom Hansel to Willmar won the title by beating Fred Hlng by scores ot 6-3 and 6-1. Although Rochester didn't have either the singles or doubles champions, they' won the team Utle with seven points. WIlImar was second with tour points and DMLC third' with three points. Concordia and Austin were tied with two points, whereas Anoka-Ramsey did not score.

Both DMLC entries In singles bowed out early. Jim Rauen lost to Steve Carter of

Much has been said In the last couple of years about school splrtt here at DMLC. Speeches at pepfests, and sports articles In the MESSENGERalways seem to Include a phrase like this:

"Support your teaml" Yet, we notice that student attendance at athletic events leaves a lot to 'be deslrea. What can we do about this problem? Much discussion 'has been given consideration at Pep Club meetings and many suggestions have neen ouerea as solutions, but thus far very little has been decided or acted upon. I teel there Is something which can be done to Improve this sltuaUon. I tlnd there are many students, Including myself, who are not always

aware of Where or when sports

events are taking

place. This certainty hurts. when spectators are needed badly at the games. I feel that because of lack of better publicity there are students In their campus homes claimIng they have nothing to do when because of poor publicity they are missing a home athletic event which they would have gladly attended, If only they had knownabout It. I realize that efforts have been made toward publicity.

Coach Kaiser talthtully posts times for home athletic events every week on the Athletic Bulletin Board. Schedules for all of the spring sports were printed In the MESSENGER.But this is not enough. We not' only need better

publicity for sports,

we

need much better publlclty. Here I suggest a project and admittedly a big one, but one which I feel the Pep Club, or CoJleglate Councll, or both, could easily handle. A real conscious effort to let every student at DMLC know about every athletic event, especially home events, would be the basis for this project. I don't know what means would be the best to carry out this project, maybe a dlstrtbutlon of announcements before each event or announcements In the Campus Memo would be the best. Posters could be printed and be placed everywhere, not only on campus, but also places such as downtownNew Ulm as well.

PubUclty probably Is not the final and complete answer to our problem of school SPirit, but It surely would help. And It would help a lot. It would assure us as a school that everyone who was not In attendance at events was either unable to, or unwilling to attend, not unaware. This publlclty would not only Increase attendance at games, but It Wouldgive our school spirit a much needed boost!
