OPENING SERVICE Dedication - Induction For the first time In over IG months the academic program can be conducted under more normal circumstances with the last of the current construction projects completed. Certainly we should all begin the 1968-1969 academic year with a sense of gratitude to our gracloos Godfor provldlngthis mstttutton with attractive and functional fac1l1t1esto aid it In carrying on the work He has assigned to us In His KIngdom.

Freshmen to Initiate New
Curriculum After several years of work In that direction, the faculty Is ready to Introduce the newcurr~culum. It Is designed to provide the student with a broad general background In education as well as to give him the sequence of courses necessary
for professional training. This year's freshman class w1l1be the first to use this course. There are several new fea .. tures In this arrangement. First, It will g1ve the student the choice to elect a field of study In which he takes a spactal Interest. Under thepresent setup, however, election wlllbe ilmlted to four fields, namely, the social studies, Engilsh, mathematlcs, and music. The new system also grants credit for physical education and instrumental music courses. Since this newcourse w111be begun with the freshman class, the course of. study will of necesslty be changedas this class advances to meet Its program needs. Another feature of this curr Iculum Is that it w111mean fewer class hours for students. With this class load reduction and his InvolvementInthe election of an area of concentration,
A Word of Welcome from President Frey
Dean Huebner Poets ha ve often written beautiful things about all the months of the year. Right now it is September, andSeptember here In the Mid-West has a great deal of beauty. At its best it is a comtuna tlon of summer and fall, a mixture of the most desirable in each. It brings some wa rrn weather which permits us to do the things that surnrner allows. It also forms that most pleasant half-way land on the road to winter. But the thing about September that Is most Important Is not the weather at all; it is the fact that September brings the return of the school year. Though sometimes students
The faculty joins me In extending a warm welcome to both new and returning students for the 1968-1969 academic year. We are dedicated to providing that kind of Christian environmentin whIch your gifts and talents can be developed to best advantage for full-time service In the Lord's Kingdom. It Is our prayer that It will be a year during which you will distinctly recognize that the Lord Is guiding you - that through the Holy Spirit you are growing In grace and knowledge - that you are maturing In Christian faith, evident by the fruits of that faith In your lives. Humanly speaking, the largest portion of your life lies before you. To 111ustrate from farming, you are In the plougllIng and sowing time of your lives. The harvest lies months and years ahead. This brings to mind an appropriate word of
Scripture: ('Be not decelvsd; God Is not mocked: for whatsoever a man sowetn that he shall also reap. For he that soweth to his nesh shall of the flesh reap
We, as a, student body, can antlclpate the best year yet for D.M.L. C. this coming 196869 school year. With our new building projects and the remodeling betng carried on, we as students w1ll be able to enjoy facll1t1es that no other
corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting." This is why the redeeming work of Christ and the sanctifying power of God's Holy Spirit In our lives are so very important and necessary to each of us. This Is why the fundamental base of the total curriculum at Dr. Martin Luther College Is the Word of God. In a sense In this academic year the Lord is offering us, faculty and students alike, another year of opportunity. What we do with ItIs extremely important to each one of us, to those who are or w111be entrusted into our care, and to the Kingdom of God at large, We w111be headed In the rlgIlt direction this year and always If we keep before us Christ's words: 'lYe have not chosen MeJ but I have chosenyou, and ordaIned you, tha t ye should go and bring forth fruit." May you walk with God all the way and enjoy His constant blessing. PRES. CONRAD FREY
students have ever had before at this college. Few w1ll contest the fact that student life here at D.M.L.C. has reached Its apex this school year with much more promised in the future. Yet don't believe for a minute that we can rest on
our laurels. There 1s much more that can and should be done, and tha t will be our goal this coming year. One thing that has been missInghere atD.M.L.C" especially noticeable Iast yea.r, was school splrt], No single person is to blame for this and yet we all are. No matter how impressive our campus is, if the life of us, the student body, Is dead, we are worse off than we were before. Let's once more become that college that Is willing to work together, win together, and sometimes, as the case may be, lose together. Yet for me, the collegiate council, or anyone else to blandly say We a re going to have more school spirit this comtng year is ridiculous and meaningless. That will depend on the students. We owe it to our education and to our school to become involved in our college government and the various activities and organizations available to us. This Is when we really will appreciate D~h.lcL,C~, when we pa rtictpate, work, and make it a part of us. This article Is not Intended to be a "tongue lashing" but a "pep" talk. The councn and I will strive to make D.M.L.C. a better college, but we realize that without your help, your spirit, and your support, we will fall. With your backing, however, the sky Is the limit to \\11a.t we can accomplish as a student body. Set a little time aside from your very busy schedules and bolster school spirit this coming year. You owe It to yoursel ves and to your college. Eric Hartzell
• • • will groan a bit with the mention of school, yet there Is no doubt that all of you realize that this Is a very important time of your Il ves. As rar as parents are concerned, September gets to be a very serious time. The day comes on which a chUd enters school with the result that his guidance and cha ra cter building a.re no longer in the hands of the parents alone. As he progresses from grade to grade, he becomes more and more Independent of his pa rents. What he is learning In school begins more and more to show Itself. How important as the learnIng process goes on tha t the cha ra cter bull ding process keeps pace with It. And for the Christian, character building which Is separated from God's Word and thus from Christ Is an empty thing. A school that does not flow out of God's Word will not school one to live for eternity. When thinking about It, the Christian parent wll! not find It so lastingly disturbing If his child develops along different lines than he had hoped, as to Ilkes and dislikes, etc.; but he will find It deeply disturbing If he finds that the child's schooling Is leading him away from Christ, away from eternal life. That Is why September Is a good time to think about Christian schools, from kindergarten through college. For us who believe that the Bible Is God's Word and that Christ Is the only Savior, and who live In a land where formal education Is a requirement _ for us, Christian schools become an trnperattve, At Dr. Martin Luther College, you are preparing yourselves to become co - workers with Chrlst, to feed the lambs of Jesus with the Word of Life, to lead children and youth to their Savior, Jesus Christ, to mold their chara.cte rs with the only means God has given us, His holy Word. With this wonderful purpose in mind, we welcome you to D.M.L.C. We pray that the year w1ll be of spiritual benefit first to you, and then one day to those who w1ll be entrusted to your care. L. O. Huebner
MUSIC MAN to Initiate Auditorium The Concert Band Ensemble will join forces with the Drama. Club, both of D.M.L.C., topresent Meredith Willson's smashIngly succasstul, Broadway hit musical The Music Man In latter November. This major production will be the first such presentation on the new proscenium stage In the recently completed 900seat auditorium on the Dr. Martin Luther College campus. The gleaming new auditorium with tastefully decorated oak-paneled walls and cushIoned seats was especlally de_ signed for chapel services as well as for concerts and dramatte productions. Planning for this gala openIng of the stage was begun last spring and has continued through the summer months. Mr. Douglas Klitzke, sophomore, who has worked again this past season at the Unlverslty of Wisconsin Theater on the Bay In (Marinette Wisconsin) has designed the set and ts coordinating technical matters as Techntcal Director. The entire production Is under the direction of Mr. Charles H.
Opening Service (Continued from Page one~
opening service and dedication is the Rev. Gerhard Horn, pastor of st. John's Lutheran Church of Red Wing and first vice-president of the Minnesota District. For a numberofyears P astor Horn served as Dean of Students at Northwestern College. The rites of dedication wlll be conducted by Academy P resident Oscar Siegler whlle the liturgist wlll be the president of the College, Conrad Frey. In this service Miss Irene Schlomer will be Inducted Into her office as women's physical education Instructor. Mr. LeRoy Levorson will be Inducted as an Instructor In the field of education and Mr. Dale R. Baumler wlll be Inducted as Instructor In English. Pastor otto Engel, chairman of the Board of Control, will conduct , this portion of the service. As we open another school year and re-dedicate this bulld- ~ ing, it Is also fitting that we dedicate ourselves anew to consecrated and conscientious service to the Lord's saving Kingdom. He has every right to expect this kind of service from Us In view of His boundless blessings to us and In view of the l1mltless privileges and opportunities He Is laying before us today for sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ with a groping world filled with sin, disorder, and theological meanderlngs. May He flll all of us and particularly you, the budding future leaders In our Church, with the grace to measure up to His expectations.

Remodeled Classrooms Provide Better Facilities Relocation of Administration Former students, as well as new students, may find a bit of
orientaU.on necessary when re .. turing to DMLC this fall. One of the areas that they may have to search for Is the administration. This has now been located temporarily on the first floor of OLD MAIN, since the rooms formerly occupied by both academic as well as business administration have been con-
verted into necessary classroom space. The former adminIstration bnlldlng has been renamed tofltlts purpose, namely,
a learning center. Although a new administration building has been on the drawing boards for over a year, It still needs final approval. In the meantime until such approval Is forthcoming, the administration finds Itself In remodeled quarters.

CONVOCATION
AREA We are sure that the convo-
cation center, which will serve us In the capacity of a chapel, auditorium, lecture area, will be welcomed by both students and faculty. It wlll satisfy a long-awalted need. As an auditorium or chapel It provides permanent seating for 896, and can seat well over 900 with additional chalrs. Its seats are comfortable and the aisles give the audience easy access. Acoustics in the room are exceptionally good.

Band Program Develops Several changes In the band program for this year are the result of efforts designed to increase the pa.rdctpatton of D.M.L.C. Bandsmen to develop a sPirit of cooperation between the existing bands, and to provide opportunities for greater musicianship. In the past the Concert Band Ensemble, a group of musicians selected by audition at the beginning of the :year, and the Symphony Band, a larger group composed of both college and a.cade my students, were entirely separate organizations. In order to provide the C.B.E. with more rehearsal time on a wider variety of materials, and to Increase the Symphony Band to truly symphonic proportions with Its attendant euphony, the C.B.&. will form the core of the Symphony Band for this year on an exoerimental basis. The C.B.&. wlll continue to have Its own separate rehearsals, both bands pe rforming selectlons of a cIlaracter and dlff1culty suited to their personnel and instrumentation. Both bands have traditionally appeared at Christ-
mas concerts, commencement concerts, and the roof-top ehorale fest 00 graduatioo morn-
Ing, and they shall continue to do so as well 3.5 to present their own formal concerts. The lIrst appearance of the Concert Band Ensemble will be November 22-24, together with the Drama Club In Meredith Willson's ''The Music Man." Pep bands for home soccer and basketball games as well as a. marching band for the Homecoming ParadeandtheNewUlm Memorial Day Parade are selected from the total band me mbership, Unfortunately, efforts begun last spring to separate the academy bandsmen from the Symphony Band and thus provide Martin Luther Academy with Its own band ha.ve not succeeded because of scheduling
coCJ!l1cts. Attempts to effect the separation of the two schools, whlcn has been accompllshed In nearly all other phases of campus life over the past two years, will be continued. Academy bandsmen will rehearse with the Symphony Band untfl the obsta.cles can be
This room was used for the flrst time during the 1968 Minnesota District Convention of the Synod, which met from July 29 to August 1. At this convention, on the evening of the 30 of July the cornerstone for this building was laid, This service was held in connection with the Convention's regular service on Christian education. Pastor John Hoenecke, chalr~ m an of the Board of Education of the Minnesota District, was the speaker for the occasion.
To find the ofllces wlll be relatively simple. If one enters the main entrance and turns to the right, he will find himself In the lobby leading to the President's oUice at the right; going directly ahead, be will find the academic· dean's and the registrar's offices. Coming In at the south entrance will lead one to the business office at the left and directly ahead to the office he ld by the directors of special services and of student teaching. The large d In1ng hall will be a faculty work area until offices can be arranged tor. The dean of students' office Is stlll located on the m aln floor of the Music Center. To give these areas some degree of Privacy, acoustical tile ceilings have been hung In some of the rooms. Philippine mahogany paneling proved less ex-
pensive and more attractive than dry -wall installation and paint, To cover unsightly floor areas some Inexpensivebut functional carpeting has been laid. To say the least, the sImp Ie changes wrought on the first floor of Old Maln have changed the complexion of the buflding , and given It for the tlme being the capacity to serve the adm lnistration In a noble way.

a book on the history of DMLC ;he·would:·:probabW· entitle- the chapter dealing withthis school year, "The Year of Change." The external changes on. campus are obvious, but another big change is internal and is not so easily seen. It is the new curriculum.

At the present time there are many committees working. Mary Travis and ROn Brutiag are working together with the stUdent Service council to plan the lyceum program for nut year, while Eileen Zimmermann and Sherry Gutzman are working on a committee to look Into the possibility of later evening bours for the college women. In a recent meeting, !heP' slbllIty of having a SDow 0.. nlval Queen was discussed. No decision has yet been reacbed, but DaveWendler has presented the Idea to the Student Service Council, and after their action, It will return to Council for reconsideration. In a speclal meeting called ' on November 4th, !he collegiate council was asked to
'consider gi~1ng t1nanc1al sup.: port to various campus clubs and organizations. As It was made very evident that many clubs would need aid In order to carry out their planned projects during the year, the Council voted to give them support by recommending that the student ActiVities Fee be raised. A committee was set UP to consider the organizations on .campus, contact them, and obtain a proposed budgetfor the year, and on this basis propose a definite program to the counell at a future dale. In addition to these commlttees there are also many other· committees working on

Why Not Show Pride? Many times recently we have heard people say "Isn't it a nice campus" or "What a beautiful green lawn and new union they have" in speaking about our college. Shouldnt we then as students take pride in the new clean buildings whichSynodhas erected for our use? Then whydo we keep on placing ourbooks on the stairways in the unioninstead of on top of the coat racks where they belong? Whydo we allow our papers to blow all oyer the greeJllawns_jn-:_ s~aCI-6rputUilg our books Inside'of the union? Thick grass sod has just been placed over the mud and bare ground behind the auditorium which we should protect by not walking on it. We the studentbody, high school andcollege, should be proud of -our campus with its new buildings and should take care of them as a gift from God,treating these facilities withthe respect that such a.gtft requires and demands. Therefore, if you see papers lying on the floors, in the hallways or on the lawns don't wait for a janitor to pick them up but rather do it yourself and also don't allow other students to ruin our grass sod' by walking all over it, but instead remind them to use the sidewalks.

FOR FUN AND PROFIT
Students Catch Race Fever There are several eager stock car fans on our campus who race their cars during the summer. Ron Schmidtand his brother warren caught the racing fever just this past summer. In JUly they bought a 1960Ford for $50 and worked on It seven days a week for over four weeks.With the free help of an experienced stock car mechanic they produced an $800 machine eontalnlng a 352-cublc-Inchenglne with up to 300 horsepower. This movingbeautywas driven by a late-model stock-car racer, Tommy Van Dreel. He had driven lale-model cars on the KK sports Arena blacktop half mUe In Kaukauna, Wls. It was on a half mUe ctay track at De Pere, Wis. that their car once made the second tastest time with an enginethat had over 100,000 mUes on It. The car consistently had times of 30 seconds. a lap hittlng speeds up to 90 mUes per hour In second",gear ~n the -, -""""Y. ~., These twobrothers then reboUt a high performance engine tor the next race night,but just when the car passed the grandstand In time trials, the engine blew up in cloudsofblue smoke, with 011 pouring trom beneath the car. In the last race of the summer, their stock car won the third tastest time. This put them In the back.row behind the slower cars for the heat races. Atter the tlrst two laps of their heat race, Ron's car was in first place. In the ninth tap, just before the end of the race, the driver had to bring 11 Into the pits because the 011 temperature had risen dangerously over 300 degrees. To buUd such a racer, everything Is stripped from the inside and the racer Is braced throughout with Iron roll bars. These machines are equipped with a fire extinguisher within a toot of the driver, whowears a shoulder harness, a seat belt, anda crashhelmetwhenhe Is racing. Many safety features are added to decrease the risk Involved In stock car racing, thus makingracing less dangerous than many people belleve. Ron feels that contrary to what manypeoplebelieve, these stock car drivers are notcrazy hoods or tough guys but rather quite decent hard-working fellows. There Is another kindof racIng-stock car drag racing. This kind Robert Bock enjoys. In 1966 he won the Detroit District Midwest Championship and $300 after only two days' of racing In his 1966Plymouth satellite n. Bob learned much of his mechanics from his tather. He
races a $3200,61lO-horsepower 383-cublc-Inch englne Plymouth on a quarter mUe straight drag strip. The car's top speed thustar was 118mUes per hOur In the quarter mne.: Bob has raced In Detroit, Chicago, Jackson, Mlch.,andIn canada. Bob uses a mixture of nitro
and gas toel In the. englnes. Drivers are specially protected with a scatter shield of thin woven metal cable wrapPlid around' the transmission Uke a blanket. The engines are also' kept trom extremely dangerous overheatlng by packing the manifold with crushed Ice during the race. Another safety teature Is that the driver must wear a f1re suit. Bob won $1500 this past summer. Besides winning money, Bob says,· "It's a nice way to meet glrlsl"

Lancers End Soccer Season Sportin-g Successful Record On' Wednesday,October 23, the Lancers tra veledto Bethany to play what was to be a most frustrating ga.me. Despite the muddy field and the cold weather, the Lancers got off 27 shots at the Bethany goal plus 3 penalty shots, but to no avaU. When the final whistle blew the Lancers were down 3-0. On Saturday October 26, the Lancers played host to the Comets of Pillsbury for the last game of the season. This was the Lancers Homecoming and It couldn't have been a better day for It. The game was well played andhard fought by both sides. The Lancers had to come from behind twice before
the Lancers was done byRandy Westphal, Steve Carlovsky and Larry Collyard. If one looks back over the rather short season, one would find that It was a successful one despite the 3_3_1 record. The Bvsquad, In spite of many new faces, was able to complle an undefeated season. What they lacked In experience they made up for In desire and hustle. Because of this sptrlt and determination they were able tOikeepthe varsity ontheir toes bXproviding good competition Iii pra ctlce, Pr-obablytheonlydisappointIng fact about the varsity squad this year was the fact that they faUed to win the championship. To some this may be the only thing worth considering, but It
Is not. This year's squad was much Improved over last year In all aspects of the game. Chara cteristic of this year's squad was a much Improved attitude on' the part of the players, a greater a.mountof desire and determination, and the ability needed to play weI!and to win games. With most of the squad returning next year, Including the up and comingB-squad, It should be an even better season. ",.,.".'"

.Intramuralsi
Organized Fun By Ron Buelow OIIe can't help but notice the lack of lDterest In men's lDterscllolastlc'basketball so far thls .Year. For the first time lD a long time .. the traditional "cuts" ..were not needed tn reducing the team to a workable number of players. Whenpractice hegan this Season, only .15 men turned out to make their bid for the team. Compare thls with the 40-45 who tried out last year. Tbis strlldng incident made me thlDk about those men who dOD'tplay lDterscbolastlc basketball, or for that matter, any other interscllolastlc sPort. Some men dismiss the possibility of compe~ in sports because of a lack f1 time. Some say that they do not have the ability to compete. Whatever the reason, there Is a remedy. Tbe remedy",1 suggest is intramural competition. ;_;loThe urge to coinpete ls present lD all people. Tbls can be seen by merelY'walldng"downtheballsofthe men's dorm. Competition is all around.. In one room you can -see two people arguing over some assignment. In the next room, you can see four or five ",ya fiCbting over baDdtula of popcorn. Looking a little further do)vII .the ball, you can see another fellow tip-toeing lDtohts neilbbor's room and casually dumping a 10-gallon pall of "Water over .his head, and runnlng away with a big .smile on hts face. TbIs, my friends, is competltloo at its best. (Well, maybe not at Us best.) '11!e above-mentioned competition lacks organization. Thts ls why 1 susgest an, organized program of intramurals. In my oplnlon, they're ,reat. One of the first assets of lDtramurals that 1 would like to mention Is the fact that anyone can play. Thls ls, in fact, the basic reason for having lDtramurals. Competition, ,not to wiD, but merely to compete. Intramural sPorts do not only provide competition for all, but they also provide the physical exercise that all of our bodles need.. The human bod7 Was not meant to sleep, eat, to classes; study, and go to sleep again. ' As also noted iiiPresident Kennedy's Physical Fitness Program, our bodies' and minds, not only our minds need to be kept busy.

Intramural sports also proVide that much-needed study break every once in a whlle. So, 1 uree all "dorm competitors" to donate their enerctes to a wortbwblle cause. As a veteran of both types of coqIetitlon, 1 can py that both are great fun, but only intnmurals are ''lecaJ.'' . " Ron Buelow
The Lutherbasketballcagers will take the .noor a,alDst Bethany College November 20, In the opentng go.me of a. 21gome season. Thts year the team will be led by all- conference star Dick Slattery and sophomore letterman Tom Brauer and Bruce Heckmann. Kurt Schmidt and Reg ResOP round out the starting lineup. The team this year Is definitely la.cklngheight. Butby the looks of things' they Intend to make up for It with precision teamwork. The practices thus fa r have been stressing plays and the fast break. This should make for some 'fast action and a wlnnlng combination. .The players are all optimistic about the comlng seasonand think they have an excellent chance to Improve on last season's record. The team Is basically a.young one, comprised mostly 01 sophomores. Da.ve'LohseIs the onty sentor. Dick Slattery and Joel Mischke are the Juniors. Tom Brauer, Bruce Heckmann, Randy Westphal, Pa.ul Bertolus, Fred Melnel, Lance Hartzel, Dave Ross, Hartley Dus, and Stan Cole hail from the sophomo re class. Reg Resop, Kurt Scllmldt, and Mike Wittenberg represent the freshmen. With the emphasis on youth, thts should make for exciting basketball both In the present and the future. Wednesday, November 13, the team will travel to Mankato .State for~ a scrlllllllage" On Friday, November 15, the Lancers will go against Gustavus Adolphus. T\lese scrimmages should prove very rewarding, both In competition and experience. Under the expert leadership of head coach Ga.ryDallman and his assistant John Mlcheel the Lancers can look for apromising season. A lot of support from the fans could be a major factor In their success.

GIVE A CHU RCH!
EDITORIAL There are people on this campus who have some good ideas. Because students should be allowed and encouraged to express their ideas in their student publication here printed is the following example of a good idea from the voice of a student. - Michele Murray
C..Natzke Relates Chr lstmasT' Give a church for a Christmas present? That's just what Carl Natzke did last year when he served as emergency teache r for grades 7 -8 at Garden Homes Lutheran School, Milwaukee,
O'pportunity
Knocks Once!
Some people cheat themselves out of a good thing. What's even worse, they personally pay for the thing which they later allow to pass unobserved with no profit to themselves. You say that whoever does this is making a mistake? You're right! Some people make just such a mistake when they miss college lyceum programs. These programs are set up specifically with the student in mind, to supplement his education. With this in mind, the committee chooses programs to cover as wide a field as possible. Music, literature, art, history, acting, and other things pertaining to education are-brought forth at these lyceums. Yet, why the poor attendances? Surely no one would purposely deprive himself of the opportunity to become a well-rounded person. Lyceum programs offer one this chance. Participation in these programs is bound to broaden the scope of a person's knowledge and cultural appreciation. Whether it's hearing the Don Cossacks sing Russian folk songs in their native tongue, or listening to a band from the University of Minnesota play contemporary music, or listening to a lecture on evolution or on "The Star of Bethlehem," these all provide opportunities' to become more acquainted in certain areas and maybe a little more prepared to serve as future teachers. Not only do we owe it to ourselves to attend these lyceum programs, but we owe it to our school. A committee devoted many hours to setting up the program. Much money was spent, not only on the -studentrs part, but also on the part. of the school. Not only does the matter of expense and time enter here, but we, as an audIence and individually, represent our college to the performers. The numbers in which we turn out for these events and our involvement gives these performers an idea of our character as .students of D. M. L. C. and the interest that we take in our coUege and its life. These programs are posted at times when everyone should be able to attend. They are also posted far "enough in advance that allowances can be made to keep this time free. Every student sh<'>uldniake it a point to set the time aside from his studying. The b,reak in the routine, can provide a welcome and benefiCial break from studies. Attend the lyceum programs. Become interested in learning new, things. Come, if for nothing else than to force yourself into areas where you maybe have little interest or background. You'll be surprised at the interesting things you can learn, and you'll be a better educated person for it. Eric Hartzell

Natzke began teaching October 1st, and In the short time prior to Christmas, he came to realize that he had to express his appreciation to the congregation In some way for the

of sugar cubes, and to scale, that isl He went to the pastor for biue prinis of the church, and with the aid of a scale model of the building, Carl went to' work (employingthe hours usually from 11 P.M. to 3A.M.).

His aunt Is, a cook at the Unlverslty of Wisconsin, MilwaUkee, and his uncle, a chef at the Astor Hotel. They also do private catering - and last year speclailzed in pleasing Carl as he gained 25 poundswhile livIng with them. One day the mall Includeda cookbook and one cake pictured was that of a church. Also mentioned was that the church could be made Or sugar. Taking advantage of his aunt and uncle and all the "master" tools ..needed, Carl decIded to make a replica ofGarden Homes LutheranChurchout
After that minorproblem was settled plans proceeded according to schedule.Carl'sma~ jar tool was a rue. Each cube had to be f1led down to size so that all could be stacked "brick style;" Filing also involved forming arches around the doors and windows, the . roof, gables, and forming the cone-shaped steeple atop the church. As each side was laid out, Natzke used a mixture of, dehydr.atedegg whites, powdered sugar and water to fasten the "sugar cube bricks" together. During this proc edure, Carl's schedule was set back somewhat. Whilecleaning things. up one night, he. accidentally ate ,the arches of two doors and a window.,.But the

First, the groups had a guided tour through a erosssectlon of the Minneapolis Institute of Art which Is like a museum because Its art progresses from the very ancient to the modern. The tour was entitled, ..Learning What to Look for in Art." The guide pointed out how techniques developed over the centuries and the story behind manyof the pieces.

Education Fee To Rise; Pay Now, Refund Later Because of the rather rapld rise in ed1!lllLtlo!&costs due in part· to ~onary 1actor in our naUoo's;ecollOmy and in part to.the heavy.subsldy the Synod has been making to the operational budgets of its educattonai institutions, an upward revision gf the fee structure will become effective with the 1969-70 academic year. The board and room .charges will remain the same in la69-' 1970, rema1n1ngat $410. How-.ever, the present educational f.e of $200 will be ,iI1D1na.ted and a General Fee of '$4 50 on the college level will replace It. The Increase, then, for·the next academic year amounts to $250. ThIs new General Fee, however, has a refundable feature. Two hundred dollars of the $450 fee each year Is refundable on a pro- rated basis after a student graduates and enters the fu1l- time service' of the WIs, consin Ev. Lutheran Synod. For example, If a student attends one of our Synodical colleges for four years and subsequently enters the work of our' Church, the total refund accruing for

Schwan Family Donates Gifts To DMLC Funds
10 Its 39th Conventton in August of 1967 the Wisconsin Ev. Lutheran Synod adopte« two. spec1f1c resolutions regarding accreditation: (1) "That the SyDod instruct the Board of Control of Dr. Martin Luther College to investigate the matter of accreditation with the North Central Association of Colleges and secondary SChools" and (2) "That the adm1n1stratlon of Dr. Martin Luther College in consultation '.wlth the Board of Educatton and the Advisory Committee on Education submit progress re....rts and recommendations to the Synod concerning accreditaUon."
Collegiate Council Asks for Magazines
Under the chairmanship of Ron Brutiag, working together with the clas, presldents, It Is once again very evident that Christmas has arrived at the DMLC campus. The freshman class had the privilege of decorating the "outside" campus, while the sophomores decorated the Adminlstratton Building, and the juniors the Luther Memorial Union.Working with the theme "Rejoice, and Again I say Rejoice," the juulors trimmed the gymnasium for the Christmas ·concert on December 20. On December 12th the annual Entertainment Bonanza was held In the gym, under the organization of Ardis Gerken. The
"highlight" ot the evening was the council members directing the students in the singing ot several Christmas carols. In a recent meeting of the council the problem was brought up regarding the library's shortage inltsperlodical collection. It was suggested that the student body have a ·mass "magazine drive" to collect the missing magazines. The librarians listed the
missing periodicals and this list was distributed to the students before Chrlstmas vacation. Because this is such a vital part of our library the students are urged seriously to try to collect as many as they can.
Li hrary Study Must Be Done Last September a Library Study Committee was appOinted which is to do an "in-depth" study ot this institution's library needs, ranging from statfing and holdings to the kind of facility required for this institution. The repOrt of this committee Is· scheduled for completion early in spring for faculty ",evlew and for presentation to the August Synod convention through the adm1n1stratlon and Board of Control. The immediate need for adequate library fa.cllities or learning resources center cannot be emphasized too much. It Is the institution's most pressing capital requirement.

Each year In February, the Collegiate Councll sponsors a snow Carnlval to provide some Interest for students during the Christmas to Easter "dull" period. in recent years, this snow Carnival has been slowly dying due to lack of stUdent interest. To revive the interest, the Council this year has
proposed the electing of a Snow Carnival Queen. According to the plan now under consideration, the Queen would be a member of the JIInlor Class. She would be picked on the basis of poise, personaUty. and talent by the vote of the students and' a special committee composed of faculty and Collegtate Councll representatives.

Th8:two players who were primarily responsible for the humor in this game ·were Tommy McDonald, flanker for the Cleveland 'Browns, and Chris. Hamburger, linebacker for the Washington Redskins. 10 the course of action, Tommy MeDonaldrecelveda pass frOm his quarterback and began to head for the endzone. It was then that Chris Hamburger turned on the.-speed, caught McDonald, and tackled him on the 30-yard line.. Immediately, upon hearing the McDonald- Hamburger combination of names, 1began laughing. What really made things tunny, was that the announcer said he was surprised' to see Hamburger "ketchup" with McDonald. At this point, it was hard to tell who would be the winner. When the final gun went off, Cleveland was victorious. ' Even though the game was a see/saw liattle there were two detinUe conclusions which one could come to: It muSt have taken qulte a bit of Hamburger to have "mustard" up the courage to make such a tackle, and after such a well-fought game, Cleveland. must have really "reltshedl, their Victory.

Let It Snow, Let It Snow! These words of a popular winter song probably best describe the attitude of our student body as they anticipate the many Snow Carnival events. However, the words "Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow" may take on another meaning: namely, "Let's have more of the same." This year the word change has been used quite often on our campus. Change does not imply that the old way is poor. Goodconstructive change is good! Change is not something to be afraid of. It is rather something to explore, investigate, and experiment with.
Council Improves Carnival Some of the changes the Snow Carnival has undergone this year are the i.nclusion ~f a basketball game, the big entertamment. night called "Swingin' 'n Things", and the election of a Snow Carnival Queen. Another change for the SnowCarnival was the heavy stress placed on organization b~ the planning committee. Plans began already. in November for the electing of a Snow Carnival Queen, and the planning of Swingin' 'n Things.
Excitement Catching On As each day passed and plans became more definite, the excitement began correspondingly to rise in the student body. This is good! We need excited and "keyed" students, for "keyed" students add up to the magic words - school spirit.
SYNCHRONIZED ACTIONS are important to this group preparing their routine for "Swingin and Things," to be presented Saturday night after the game. (Photo by Jim Herrmann)

How About Sunday Nights? What did you do on Saturday night? Are you aware that instead of going skating, to the basketball game or the show you could have studied in the library? Yes, the library is open for your convenience every Saturday night. Don't wait for Sunday night to use the library materials you must use to prepare for Monday classes, because on Sunday night the library is closed. Although it seems more logical that the library would be open on a night before a school day rather than on the only free night of the week, it is not. Sunday night would be a much better time for reference room hours, for few students even frequent the library on Saturday night. A week and a half ago, I know, that there were not more than six students who entered the library all evening. If we hold dear our only free night of the week, it should be a night of relaxation also for the librarians. I urge the Collegiate Council, which has been very active this year pleasing the student body. to look into this matter also, and determine which night would be more favorable to open the library--Saturday or Sunday.

DMLC Messenger The DMLC MESSENGERIs
ave as respOIls _ blllty for establishing crlterta, visiUng. and evaluating InstituUons at their request, and ap_ proving those Institutions that meet the crlterla. Q. - How could accreditation with the NCAbenefit Dr. Ma-rtln Luther College? A. _ It Is assumed that re_ gional accredltatioo with the NCAwilUacllltate certlt1catlon of graduates to teach In those states In which Lutheran elementary teachers, as well as all other elementary teachers, need state certificates. RecognlUon as an accredited college makes It easier for a student to transfer credits from an accredited college to another college or to have a degree from an accredited college recognized by a graduate school, You will noUceI said "makes It easier." There are anumber of fa.ctors other than accreditation that will determine whether a student's credits or degree wUl In tact be accepted by another college. Briefly, the most Important ofthese factors are the program' In which the student wants to enroll and the regula.tlons estabHshed by the receiving scaool to govern this program. It is also true that recognition as an accredited Institution simplifies the a.cceptance Into or the eligibility of a college for certain kinds of programs; e.g., student loan programs, schorarshtps, etc. "Acceptance" or "eligibility" Is simPlified, not necessarlly contingent upon a.ccredltatlon, for there are other ways to recognize "performance and Integrlty."

Seniors, Professors Visit Nobel Program On January 8, three seniors, Elizabeth Metzger, Renee Urban, and Charles Buege accompanied by Professors Hartwig, Borgwardt, and Manthey attended the two-day Nobel Conference at Gustavus Adolphus
Collegeat St. Pete~.
This Is the fifth year the
conference . has been held as part of the on-going program of the Nobel Memorial to Alfred The science-based topic under discussion this year was "Communicatfon," The following accountof the symposium is related by delegates Elizabeth Metzger and Charles Buege,
The flrst lecture, by Dr. LeRoy Augenstein, was aimed at stressing what man should communicate. Before he began speaking, we were rather apprehensive about whether or not we would be able to understand a doctor ofbiophysics, but this proved to be no problem at all. He was most accommodating
In using vocabula.ry that we could understand. Naturally, this helped Us to react rather favorably to the news which Dr. Augenstein "just happened" to mentlon--that he will be actively campatgnlng for the Republican nominaUon for senator from Michigan.
The Mind At any rate, Dr. Augenstein deftly mixed his pol1ticklngwith a dIscussion of "The LIttle Black Box Called The Mind," and the basic values and Ideals whlcti he believed were prima rUy the pa rents' responslbll1ty to develop In their children. Cocky as we were, from so
easily understanding Dr. Augenstein's d1scusslon, we grew
even more confident during the lecture of the afternoon. Here Dr. Peter Marler (sPorting a dashing beard) discussed" AnI-

some ex-
tremely real1stic monkeywalls, screams, giggles, and assorted other noises of that "ancestor of man," as he referred to him. Not only were these sounds easily understood, but they were far more entertaining than a seemingly endless arrayofblrd calls Dr. Marler had diagrammed for us to see.
Though even many of his own collea.gues disagreed with parallels between man and animal communication which Dr. Mar_ ler drew, the common consen, sus for Dr. Marler's "monkey business"
was that he was a
real hit. Alas, Dr. Noam Chomsky's lecture dashed any notions of Intellectual1sm which we many have entertained. The hlghl1ght and most noteworthy part ofhis lecture for us was when he was
interrupted, and we were informed that wewere snowbound. It was practically the t1rst thing which we had understood since Dr. Chomsky began speaking.
Scholarly Man And yet, we could not but admire this scholar for the fantastic mental capacity which he SO obviously possessed, and sigh wistfully at our Inadequacy for understanding his dtscussion of "Form
and Meaning In
Natural Language." St. Peter proved to _be an Ideal place In which to be (Cont. on p, 5, col. 4)

Yearbook Earns First-Class Award DMLC's yearbook, the EX_ CELSIOR,has received a. First Class honor ra.t1ng In the 48th All American Yearbook CrItI-
cal Service conducted by the Associated Collegiate Press at the University of Minnesota. Student yearbooks, newspa-
pers and magazines from more tjlan 900 colleges and unIversities across the nation are judged on the basis of content, wrl.t1ng,layout and makeup. Yearbooks are evaluated In eompartson with other books from schools with equal enrollment. Ra.tlngs awards are All American, First Class, Second Class, ThIrd Class and Fourth Class.
High Honor The EXCELSIOR's First Class rating Is topped only by the "All AmerIcan" rating, whIch Is reserved for the superior publ1ca.tions In the nation, and represents work that Is "excellent" by Associated Collegiate Press standa.rds. The success of the 1968EX_ CELSIOR may be attributed to "conscIous effort by the staff to apply principles ofgoodjournal1sm a.nd modern yearbook style techniques," according to Ron Schmidt, Editor-In-chief of the 1969EXCELSIOR.
Future Goal
EDITOR, RON SCHMIDT, studies the an~lYsis of last year's Excelsior to see where Improvements should be made. (Photo by Jim Herrmann)
He cites this rating as "proof that a quality yearbook can be produced by handful of eager students, w!l1lng to lea rn copy and layout styles andapply them with care for detail. The award can also prove to be a spearhead for future sta!fs to continue to _ImProve the EXCELSIOR until It become a truly outstanding yearbook."

Good Prof. The first lecture we heard was given by Dr. Abraham Kaplan, a Jewish professor ofphllosophy from the University of Michigan. We all were rather eager to hea r him, for he was rated as one of the ten best college "profs" in the nati?n.
After his talk, which was entitled "The Life of Dialogue," we all knew why he received such a. rating. In his lecture he used jokes, which created a. casual atmosphere, and yet at the same time his choice of words and manner of speakIng was by far the best of the lecturers.
Last Words The last lecture, which was hea,rd In the alte moon, was presented by Dr. Ene Lenneberg of Cornell University. After being carried a.waywith his topic, which Was "A Word Between Us," he fittingly closed the conference with the words••• "Well, I see I have come to the end of my notes, so I will stop."

Accreditation
By Ron Buelow There are indeed many values and benefits gained from a sports program at any educational institution. Above all, It Is a wonderful form of extracurricular activity whichpro. motes physical education, good health, and good, clean competition.
In
our
own courses
here
at Luther,
we have learned
that sports also provide students with a break from their studies
and an opportunity
to release
tensions
and pressures
which school work can cause. Among_ other benefits, one could also enumerate such advantages as learning to work together with others as a team, learning properly to accept defeat or failure, knowinghow to react when successful, and learning goodsportsmanship. Applying these advantages to our campus life, 1 also see certain advantages which are present' all a result of sPorts and other physical activities. 1 view the current time of the school year as a very critical period. It is during this pe'rlod (approxtmatsly from, January~M~rch) that. there Is, first of al\ no scheduled vacation of any substantial. size. This fact afone would be ,relatively unimportant" for 'we have .a similar period from .Sejitember ~o' November, .In the ,tall", :j3utadd to this the factor of weather; namely, snow, Ice, and cold, which drives people indoors, --the January to March period seems more like six months than the actual three. One at the additional advantages which1 spoke of previously Is that a sports program Is a vital "carry_over" In this critical pe rlod. WIth people being forced to do more things indoors than out, there Is a need for organized activities to break the monotony of the "Indoor environment." Sports and physical activities fit the need well. Here
on our
campus,
our "carry.over"
program
includes
the following: men's and women's interscholastic basketball, men's and women's Intramural basketball, games In the Joustabout (especially those In the recent S. U. tournaments), and other optional activities, such as skiing and tobogganing,or even sliding down the Hermann Park hill In a cardboard box. Whether or not we realize It, this program Is a vital one, for it can carry us over to the much awaited season of sprtng, It Is up to every one of us to realize the need of this program, and above all, to USE it, to use It as an effective tool In helping us to prepare ourselves for the Lord's work.

I last left you back in the middle of December. The Lancers at that time had a 2-4 record. Back to the action. NORTHHENNEPlN December 14th the Lancers faced the hlgh-powered Norsemen of North Hennepin JC. The Norsemen were led by 6-8 George Jackson, a high scoring boy from New York. The Lancers, showing that they were not to be taken easily, played a. fine game, but lost. The final was 107-83, but throughout the game the score was close. Dick Slattery led all scorers with 24 points, Reg IUesop had 18,andKurt Schmidt had 15. It was a. fine showing, even In defeat. Incidentally, the Lancers were without the services of Bruce Heckmann, who broke his fool In the P1llsbury game. CONCORDIA The Minnesota. River Confer~nce Is sporting some fine teams this season. Amongthem is Concordia, said to be having the best basketball team there In years. The Lancers, again losing about 4 to 5 inches a man, put up another fine contest. At half the score was 37-26 Concordia. in the second half Lutaar. narrowed it to 5 pomts, Concordla, using its height well, wore down our defense and eme rged with a 76-61 victory.

It was first reported to the Councll that "Creative WritIng" sbould need flnanclal aid In order to publ1sh their annual booklet and from here the wbole program of giving various clubs aid was carefully planned.

Free-Throw Tournament
For Climax
With a two-week break for Christmas, the Lancers came back on Janua.ry 11 with a fine victory, Combining the twofine previous showings, the Lancers crushed a. mediocre Metro team. Dick; Slattery pushed, faked, and outran 6-7 DougFargo and scored a. season-high of 38 points. Kurt Schmidt had 18, and Tom Bra.uer and Hart.ley Dus 13. Brauer, playing defense on the big boy, held
him to 15 points. The final was 90-75. LAKEWOOD Followlug up that fine vic_ tory seemed to be an easy task for the Lancers. Luther ran wild in the first half plllng UP a. 55-23 lead. Coach Dallmann then let his reserves mop UP. Randy Westphal andtugh-scorIng Dick poured in 14 points to lead the Lance rs, The final was ~2-74. AUSTIN It see ms that our basketball team shines before our ''huge'' hometown crowds. They found no luck at Austin. The Lancers fell behind in the first balf and never did catch UP. Kurt Schmidt played his finest game scoring 33 points, all from long range. The final Was Austin 91, Luther 71. GOLDENVALLEY If some of you fans thought
you were seeingafootballgame instead of a baskethall game, you weren't far oft. In a physically, brutal contest the Lancers lostlhegameandtwomore players. Dick Slattery twisted his back and Kurt Schmidt his ankle, and the Lancers were "smashed", literally, 107-76. WORTHINGTON The Worthington game high_ lighted two players.' Bruce .Heckmann's return te UP and Dave Lohse's last game. Coach Dallmann started Lohse and the players gave him a. standing ovation when he came out. The game itself did not go well for Luther. The final score was 92-52. The Lancers were without the services of Slattery , who was recoveririg from injuries received in the Golden Valley game. "Twee_ ty" Heckmann scored 13points and Hartley "The Pump" Dus scored 15. NORTHCENTRALBIBLE The Lancers again looking for revenge, found it in the TwIn Cities. North Central Bi_ ble was bombed off the floor 108-92. :;J.attery scored 19, Schmidt 21, Joel Mischke, Dus; and Hackmann scored 14points. PAUL BERTOLUS

WHAT'S SNOW LIKE?..
Minnesota Sparkles With It It Is a warm swmy day In February. Glanc1ngouts1de the window of your classroom you see a blue Arizona. sky and a view of seatte red cacti on a field of sand. Com1ngba.ck inside you .nottee several l1ttle bands waving In the air. You call on one of them. "What's snow l1ke? What happens when It snows?" Fortunately, you are not at a loss for words, for yOll spent the winter of 1968-1969 In Mlnnesota, on the DMLC'campus. Memories of that winter begin to fiood your m1nd and soon four thoughts slowly eme rge from the mass. You begin to gpeak whUe mental pictures form" addlng parenthesis to your sentences. "Snow changes the looks of things. The ground becomes
covered with a blanket of white (sometimes as many as 50 white blankets). Cars begin to look like different kinds of frosted cakes, and some buildIngs (like the boller house) begin to wear uneven ski rts of frozen water called lc1cles. "Snow makes It hard to travel. After a while the roads have so much snow on them
that It Is hard for cars to get through ••• Sometimes the wind begins to blow, which causes the snow to pile up in little mounds (and mounta.1ns). Then ears get stuck-and have to be dug out with shovels. Many people do not like to do this because It Is often colder outside than the Inside of a freezer. Even snowplows,whichare machines to clear away the snow from the roads, seem to get
stuck. Children enjoy tbls tN.cause this means they ca.n'tget to school (There always are exceptions, however). Snow makes people walk fwmy - especially when there' Is Ice on the sidewalks, too. G! rls tend to walk ala' Chinese, taking short little steps to keep from falling, while boys like to slide along, which makes the walks even more sllpperv. It becomes very hard to walk up and down hills (memories of trips up and down Excelsior steps and Boardwalk, those embarrassing falls, andtwisted ankles resulting from desperate attempts to stay up). After awhile people get used to these problems and make sure they have plenty of time to get where they are going.

EDITORIALS
Faculty Shows Interest Looking around campus, one tincts many groups that deserve admlratton for their hard work and help towards pr oviding DMLC with worthwhile activities and .programs. Such groups are the Aeollans and Marluts who. made a wonderful comeback this year and have not died out as was expected, but rather became stronger and better; the Collegiate Counci l that has done fantastic work in student activities, most recently with Snow Carnival; the Art Club; CBE and Symphony Bands, Drama Club; YDU name it- they all are helping this campus become a more pleasant place to. be.
Active Participants But there's one group who. often is behindthe-scenes- the unsung heroes who.certainly don't devote their time and efforts for acclaim but rather because they are truly interested in helping the students. This group is none other than the faculty. .We should feel very fortunate to. have such hard worker-s as they. Who. could have made Snow Carnival come to. pass as it did without 'the acceptance of the faculty who. listened with an open mind to. new ideas never before attempted at DMLC? Who.could have been more enjoyable thane the professors participating in their own skit, showing that they, tDD, are interested in entertaining and 'pleasing the students and are not simply an elite group above them? They. not-vonly were active in that case, 'but many also attended the Pepfest and entertainment night and mingled with the students.
Ambitious Workers What's more Important is the attention the faculty here devotes to. guiding the student.in his academic life and personal problems through means Df several cDnsultatiDn hDurs and private meetings. It is hard to. find such CDncern and inter~st in students amDng faculty who. areDnly cDncerned with teaching as a JDb. Let us give the prDfessDrs and faculty here the credit they deserve and remember the devDtiDn and assistance they prDvided us when sDmeday we land in their shDes -as faculty members Durselves.
A Closing Thank You As the end Df my academic career at DMLC apprDaches, I WDuid like to. take time to. thank certain peDple who. have been assDciated with the MESSENGER here at SChDDIand Dthers who. have graduated. To. my MESSENGER writers I say thanks, because there just cDuldn't be a MESSENGER without you! I, extend another thank YDU to. my staff editors for the cODperation I've received all year. It's been great working with you! The circulatiDn editDr and staff members deserve a special thank YDU for the fine job they've done all year withDUt receiving any praise. Every month they sort and bundle 800 MESSENGER subscriptions to. be mailed. Thank YDU, phDtographers! The EXCELSIOR staff shares their phDtDgraphers with' the MESSENGER and they've really been Dn the ball . this year shooting pictures arid meeting deadlines. I'd also like to thank Dur advisDr for his time and other faculty and administrative Dfficers who have cDntributed articles and submitted to interviewsthrDughDut the year. Thanks should also be given to. YDur fDrmer MESSENGER staff members, for we have been building an th~oundation YDU left fDr us. In reviewing this year, I can Dnly say thanks to everYDne who. suppDrted the MESSENGER and gDDd luck to. thDse who carry Dn in the future. W. MICHELE MURRAY

Committee.s Carefufly View ,DMLC Accreditation 'Idea [Par t Tw o] Q.- What are the major problems for DMLC·obtaining ACcreditation status? A.-We must remember that the synod has approved only an "Investigation of the matter." Consequently, the major COncern at present Is to deCidewhat all would be Involved In seeking membership In the North Central Assoctatlon. We are especially attempting to ascertain whether .there would be any compromise or sacrifice of our principles Involved In our aff1l1atlon with this accrediting agency. Even if we should take Inlttal steps toward seeking accreditation, the principle of non-compromise and non...sacrifice shall always be of chief conSideration to us. If the governing body of the college is satisfied that this prinCiple Is not being Violated, thenanyother problem related to accreditation should be no different from the present problems the Synod faces in maintaining the best possible colleges for the preparation of a competent and qua11fledministry. Furthermore, no accredit-

Campus Calls Carnival A Success Now that the snow Carnival weeKendhas come and gone, It's Urne for some evaluating. The following professors and students were interviewed for their opinions. They were asked for general reactions to the Snow carnival as a whole, what Improvements they felt had been made, and what aspects could ',et be Improved. Here are their answers. Other opinionswould certainly be welcomed In letters to the editor. PROF. ZAIIN: "Excellent. There was more student activity. In past years outside groups were used for entertainment. This year everything was done by the students tOemselves." "MIKE LOOSE:"The snow Carnival helped to boost the morale and fellowship among the students, and brought about closer relationships betweenfaculty and students." KATHY BARFKNECHT: "Fabulous. The whole carnival was well-organized. Having It centered around a theme was an improvement over other years. The queen contest was handled very well, withoutover-stressing competiUon." PAULA HANNEMANN:"There was a lot of spirit shown. The best part was that the whole student body parUclpated." PAUL BERTOLUS: "Very good. There was good cooperation among the students. The snowhelped, too." DEAN HUEBNER: "Excellent. It was evident that there was a-jot of careful planning, which was well carried out... PAUL WACHHOLZ:"The entertainment was espeelally good. The snow helped a lot to make thlngs a success. More work could be clOneon the snow sculptures In general--I think the high school sllow~ us ~~ lI.
H~,e.','" , ,.
TOM BOBROFSKY:"The entertainment was a big Improvement over last year. I think the broom hockey game should be kept as part of the carnival. It caused a lot of enthusiasm. More Ingenuity Is needed In the snow sculptures to compare to the high school." LINDA STUPPY: "The entertainment program was a llttle long, but very good. The queen competition was the best part of the carnival." PROF. KOELPIN: "I was very much impressed with the good organization and with the good taste and modesty In which things were done. This is something that we should always strive for."
REN KREMER: ''X thought it was well done. The queen competltton was a llttle bit overdone. Either the talent or the questions might be eliminated." BILL ZEIGER: "This is the first time since I've been up here that we really had the snowfor It. The entertainment program was a llttle long. There was nothing trite or boring about It, but the mind can take In only as much as the seat can endure." SANDYHEINZE: "The program seemed a little long, but It wasn't anything you'd really noUce, because It was so good. Instead of having all the major events In the evening, maybe some could be In the atternoon." GERANE PLATH: "The program was just a little too long, but otherwise e~rythlng was very well done. I'm sure snow carnival at DMLCwlll be something to look forward to with more enthusiasm
every year .."

We've Got The Spirit, But Where's The Space? One hf the' shiniest and cleanest buildings we have on campus is the new Luther Memorial Union. At almost any time of the day, janitors are busily working away at polishing floors, vacuuming the carpet, washing the windows until they are spotless or finding some other way to make the Union sparkle. About 11 a.m, all is well, but then--then comes the noon hour rush and everything that looked so neat and clean is hidden by mounds and mounds of books, purses and other items which hungry students have hurled on the floors, railings, chairs or wherever they can find an empty corner. No System Last year it was suggested that everyone first go to his respective dormitory before coming to meals in order to prevent so many books from accumulating. Since many students live off-campus, however, and others do not care to run up to perhaps fourth floor and back again, this system never worked out. Since we have no system of lockers, where are students supposed to put their books? How About Shelves? One idea suggested was to make shelves available underneath the front stairway that leads ,down to the cafeteria. Such shelves would no doubt be used and would at least take care of some of the excess books. Students themselves don't like to see their Union in such a mess and would probably take it. upon themselves to take . advantage of such a storage place. Let's find some way that we can help, make our Union a place that we as well as visitors will be proud of and at least able to walk through. SLR

Pedagogue Should Be Honest! BY MONTE SCHMIEGE KOhl, Herbert. 36 CHILDREN. New York: The New American Library, tnc., 1967. $ .95. I recently picked Herbert Kohl's 36 CHILDREN from a paperback rack at the local bookstore. Having found occas Ion to read the book, I didn't quit it until I had read it once and had underlined a score of
Interesting statements. It proved a cathartic experience, turlling trlumpb to tragedy tbroughout Its course. telling very simply the story of Kobl and bls class of 36 ghetto chil_ dren, their flIgbts and failures, and the Success and plight of a good teacher, an bonest pedagogue. Kohl tried hard to do the best he could for his puptls, and as he trfed, he made some
keen observations that serve as sharp crtttcisms onthe prevalent modes of teaching--crit. Iclsms that may force even the most pedantic to question the hitherto unquestioned. Having reread these portions, I have found a recurrent theme.

Tried Teachers Must Teach New Tricks "We had the New Deal, the New Look, and .the New Math. Obviously we had to have the New English." These were among the words Withwhich Dr. Harold B. Allen of the University of Minnesota opened his lecture on "The New English and Its Impllcatlons for Elementary Instruction," the last lyceum of the school year,presented in the college auditorium at 8 p.m., Aprll 14. Prof. Borgwardt's and Prof. Schroeder's senior "essay writers" and other students and professor s listened as Dr. Allen explained what the "New English" Is, why the need arose for a "New English," and what Its lmplicatlons are for elementary
teachers.
Study Made Dr. Allen referred to a study made of the Engllsh knowledge: of a number of elementary teachers. The findings showed that those responding to the various parts of the study were ,cnot adequately
informed."Dr.
Allen pointed out that "teachers have an obligation to generate understanding and knowledge, and they need to know more than they teach." He added that neW MInnesota regulations for certlfylng elementary teachers are now 'belng studied and that those Who are not "adequately Wormed" may encounter cert1fl.catlon problems In the future. Dr. Allen stressed the fact that not only English teachers
need to be concerned about the study of the English language: "The English language ls the solid foundation upon Whichthe study of English literature and the study of composition must depend... The elementary teacher spends 60 to 75 per cent of his time teaching EngllSli !II various forms -- spelling, language, history, reading, even "show
4. From studylog the "N~w English," .the teacher should learn about the words ·themselves, fO.r example, the history of a particular word. Of this, Dr. Allen sald that 3" awareness of development of words helps a teacher understand the developments In the speech of chUdren. 5. The study of proper names Is an important part of the "New English," according to Dr. Allen. He used as an example the names "Marjorie" and "Margery" and posed the questiro, "Are they the same?"
and tell."
The alm otthe "New Engllsh" is to solve the problems students usually encounter' With grammar. It Is essentlally a deductive method of .language study as opposed to the Indue( tlve method of previous years. Dr. Allen presented 11 sub[ect areas as the minimum of what an elementary teacher should know about English: I. The teacher or prospect~ve teacher should derive from the
"New
English"
:liameValue
an under-
standing of the nature of language. 2. An understanding of the specific structure of the English language is necessary. Such an understanding can be arri ved at through traditional, structural, and transformational gramm ar study.
DR. HAROLD ALLEN recently lectured at a college lyceum on the New English, its aims and methods. (Photo by Carl Nolte)
Grammar The tradltlonal grammar Is essentially Latin grammar and structural grammar ls content with the induct!ve observation of language, while transformational grammar concerns itself with a study of "the deep structure and deep grammar" of the
English language. "A teacher needs to be acquainted with transformational
grammar,"
Dr. Allen said, "if only not to have a horse and buggy understanding In a jet age." 3. ''New English" not only r eters to grammar but struc-
ture of sound. ThIs ls related to reading in that the Ioachlng of reading ls more eff1elent when it ls based on sight and sound. Dr. Allen stated that good reading begins with a child's awareness of the sound of his own language.
Dr. Allen stated that there Is a powerful emotional value attached to names __so powerful that immigrants have changed names." As an Illustration of the power of a name, he tolect of Negro children who react unfavorably to readers in which the boys are called Jimmy, Willy, and Chuck, but favOl'_ ably to those in whichthe names are James, Willlam, and'Chb-'les. 1::C"c) 6. Being thoroughly ac:quainted with th. dictlonary is essential for the elementary teacher, according to Dr. Allen. 7. Elementary teachers must be famlllar with the change in the English language over a period of years. Dr. Allenfeels that "a good deal of mlscone eption about language can be removed by the Study of Its (Continued on page 5, coL 3)

CARE FULLY' ,EXAMINING 'one of the delicate Easter eggs on her own little tree is Louise Riek who found this to be an enjoyable hobby this spring. (Photo by Carolyn Roenneburg)
BY TRUDY LAPER Are you interested in gatllering creative ideas tor classroom art projects? Then read on, tor even though the actual celebration of Easter haspassed, it is never too late to take advantage ot an idea that could provide much enjoyment, satisfaction, and room for creativity in your tuture classroom. The Idea ot making an Easter egg tree is not new, but there are some helptulhlntsformaking a meaningful, and attractive tree that can be lea.rnedthrough actual experience. Louise ruek, a college junior from Milwaukee, had that experience when she and other Hillview girls worked on their tree.
Materials Louise began collecting eggs tor the tree after January _Qr,eak.Each, ot the some two dOzen eggs was punctured with a,la.rge needle a..t each end and blown out. Eating scrambled eggs and baking kept the eggs trom being wasted. Instead ot dyeing the eggs, Louise decided to use tempera paints because she could get more variety and deeper colors. Oval openings were cut in some ot the eggs and the Inside painted with a colllPUinent(lrycolor. For easier painting and drying techniques, Louise put wire
tilrough the ends ot the egg while Painting It, and strung tile eggs on thread loops to dry. Tr-imming A va.riety ot trim was used to decorate the eggs. SeqUins, narrow vel vet rtbbon, nowe rs,
and other designs trom old greeting cards, gold paper, and pearls are Just a tew Ideas. To hang the e,,1ZSon her tree __ which was a branch from Luthe r Hollow planted in a flower pot-Louise used gold strings for loops., Ste foundthat Tacky glue worked best for securing the loops and putting on the other trim.
NoTwoAlike No two eggs on Louise's tre'"
are aUke. Some of them Just happened aCCidentally, like tile egg that broke onone endand so was hung sideways and a china rabbit put In the middle. One o! the most unusual andbeauti_ ful eggs ma.dP-, was one of the several with religiOUS signlTlcance. An oval Wlndow WiU; cut Into an egg a.nd painted light blue on the outside and a navy blue in the Inside. A miniature while Bible was suspended from the top by nylon thread. Louise
and her
roommate
I
Linda Bruskewitz, a Junior trom Appleton, ha ve worked on other seasonal proJects, too. SUchas the burlap wreath and
angels they made for Christ_ mas. Louise's next project is to experiment with straw flow_ ers
which could be used for
bulletin board displays. She may also decorate
her 'tree'
with them. Right now the tree Is serving another purpose. It is hung with tabs trom soft drink cans and eve ry day Louise

With all of this evident, Kohl threw out the "phoney" books and brought in his own tavor!tes. He ignored the rules about always doing homework or about lining up to leave school. He left large periods ot time in the day tor the children to do as they wanted; he observed them and learned trom Ibem; he tound them doing their best work. (Edit. note:
(Continued from page 4) a. Another aspect oIthe "New English" about which elementary teachers should be concerned has been labeled as "variations in space and time." Her~ the concern is over dialects, and the question to be answered is, "Is one dialect superior to another?"
9. Dr. Allen further considered dialects under the' title, "Variations
in social space."
He said that the teacher should have

dialects as they !it into the region and as seen in the classroom. UWhatteacherscallmis_

11. Dr. Allen sald that a very impOrtant subject area in the "New English" Is non-linguis_ tic features Ibat accompany'Ibe use of language--tor example, tone of voice, rate o! speaking, "breathtness," uwh1n1ness,"
"hoarseness," tenseness, ges-
tures, facial expressions, head movement,
and body contact.
Drawing from his personal experiences, he told how such non-linguistic features affect commUnication in various cultures.
for us that we consider some of these ideas toward more individualized study and more display of conf1dence in pupils, but as the same time bearing In mind the Chrtstlan point o! view that all are by nature slntut, a tact which Kohl does not take into account at all,)
'It Is well
He let the children write about their own lives, the violence they knew, the confUct they experienced, the Uungs that realty matlered to them. He became close to his chil_ dren, told them of himself, invited them to his apartment, took them on private tours of New York, their own City, Ibe c tty they dldn't know. in short, Kohl was honest. Most schools could use such honesty and ours are not excluded. We, too, have textbooks like those Kohl was confronted w!th, the books that omit the mildly seamy sides ot things and present only that which Is seemly. The rules we invent often deny the dignity o! t hose we teach and hide the weaknesses
we fear
to show
in ourselves tor the sake o! pride and example. We need the help ot many more honest pedagogues like Kohl, and we can till that need by searching out and recognizing the hypoc rlsies peculiar to our schools, and by supplanting them with honesty. Kohl'S book can serve as a starting point in that search, and theretore I rec_ ommend It as not only enJoyable, but as one o! Ibe pOssible sources tor beginning a r each toward honest pedagogy.

To Boost Past Records BY DENNISNEEDHAM It has frequently been said thatsprmg' turns the fancies of
students to things other than to studies. DMLCstudents are certainly nodifferent from other students In this respect (maybe this Is one reason that so many profs wer-e so con.. cerned with assigning so much work during the third quarter). But more speclflc:>.lly,as the minds of many of the DMLC women have turned to thoughts of diamonds, so the thoughts of DMLCmen, 19 to be exact, have .also centered around a special sort of diamondwhich w1ll be put to profitable use during the remaining weeks of school. Indeed, for some of
the men, these
last days
of spring may well be their final opportunities to use their diamond. That diamond, of standard cut, is, of course, the baseball diamond in Its relatlvely new setting between the vulnerable windoWSof Professor Fredrich's home and the relatively safe windowsof West Hall and coach Kaiser's office In LMU.
spite the presence of eight returning lettermen, four underclassmen, bolstering the roster, few posltlons can be said to be nailed down. Of the few posltlons that appear' to be certain, that of the number one pitcher on the four-man staff, looks to be lefty Larry Collyard with the next spots up for grabs amongDean wnde, Paul swain, and Denn1& Needham,all rlghthanders. The possible combinations of batterles Is quite high as three receivers, letterman DOn Hahnke, Greg Hannemannand Warren Hartman are working for the starting posltlon behind the plate.

Following nearly a monthof pre-season conditioninginside the gym under the guidanceof Coach Dallmann and Tutor Lemke, the Lancers got their first taste of outdoor practice Immediately followingtheir return from Easter recess, little more than a week before their season opener .agamst tough P1llsbury at Owatonnaon April 19. CompetingIn IS conference games this season, the Lancers w1llbe seekingto Improve upon their weak 3-7 record and meager .187 team batting average of last season. Stratt'I'Y The abUlty Of tnt! squad to Implement the fundamentals and stratetms of hitting and running as well as the ab1l1ty of the pitching staff to come tnrough wUl mainly determine the success of the relatively young team. In emphasizing that the gam. of baseball Is more than merely throwing a ball, swinging a bat, and running Coach Dallmann means to emphasize the planning, concentratlnn, and cooperation of all the players which makes the game more interesting and meaningful for the fans as well as the team. Teamwork Thoughfollowing the distinguishedLeo Durocher's lead 01 not making predictions, coach Dallmann did stress that the team w1ll play the season one game at a time (which Is, of course, the most practical way since there are only 19men on the team). Nonetheless, It Is quite obvious that In any game, particularly baseball, withnine men ,!n the field, a high degree of teamwork and co-ordlnated efforts on the part of all the men to make the seasonworthwh1le.
Line·up During the course of the next few days, coach Dallmann wUl have to decide who w1ll comprise his starting lineup against tough-PUlsbury. De-
Mlke Wittenberg. 'l'ne outfield candidates, led by seniors Mike Heln and Deve Lohse, are Eric Hartzell, -Gary Krug and Reg
Rles<ip. Regardless of who starts for the 1969Lancers, two men assured of plenty of work are the student managers, Tom Bobrofsky and DOugNeedham. Coach Dallmann is again being assisted by Tutor carl Lemke.
Thef'ans Finally, rne - efforts of the baseball squad wlll certainly depend uponthe abilities of the players themselves; but the support and spirit engendered by the fellow students Is also necessarlly a part of that success, whether It Is exarnplffled In a winning season or a good game or particularly the sportsmanlike- and Christian attitude andconductof theteam. Without the fans the game Is not really baseball, but oply It. shadow of the game. You, the fans will not get a lette, for your participation, but you will be as much a part of the· team as' u.e players themselves.

Yuk It Up! By Dave Lohse
On Being Short People do not realize the problems InvolvedIn being short. I have always been short. 1 was born 5'6" 'tall and have remained
at that height for the past twenty-two years. As a matter of fact I can still fit Into my baby clothes. Even thoughI am short, at least I am not skinny. Being 5'S" and weighing170pounds, I most resemble a fire hydrant. I have trted everything to grow. I even went as far as to have my roommates plant me. They stuck me in a nower pot, ·packed dirt around me, spread some fertilizer on me, and watered me dally. It didn't work. The water made my skin look like a prune, and the fertilizer, well •• nobodycame near me for weeks. Being short Is dangerous. One day 1 was runningthe 101}yard dash In a high school trackmeet. It was raining something fierce. When the race was over, they couldn't find me. They dragged the puddles for anybody. Luckily, I was washed up on the Infield grass, and a good Samaritan gopher gave me mouthto-mouth resuscitation.
"BUT TOM ... " Carolyn Schubert as Amanda Wingfield tries to get some sense into her son Tom,played by Paul Jacobs in THE GLASS MENAGERIE, coming this week end. (Photo by Jim Herrmann)
Can be Embarrassing short can also be embarrassing. Imagine, the barher still puts a board across the arms of the barber chair for me to sit on, When I go to someone's home to eat, the hostess usually gives me a Sears and Roebuck catalogue to It on so I can reach my food. Also, think how embarrassing 11 wouldbe If Chns was 5'7" Instead of 5'2". 1 wouldhave to stand on my tip toes to kiss her goodnight. I usually don't get angry when someone makes run of my being short, but one time I could not help myself. It was during one of our basketball games this past season. I was standing between two of our taller players during one of our pre-game drills. All of a sudden a player from the other team cam up behind me and said, "What's the matter did you leave the other half of you In the lockerroom?" 1 couldn't restrain myself. 1 quikly turned around, swung level, and knockedhis kneecap out of [olnt, Being
Many Are Short You may try to console me by' saying quite a few famous men have been short. That Is true. Napoleonwas 4'11", Adolf Hitler was 5'4", Martin Van Buren was 5'6", Richard Burton Is 5'S", and Aaron Burr Was5'6". After lookingat the data, the only hope I have Is to become a power-hungry, mad, unknown, attractive traitor! Well, I guess that ends my desire to become famous. Don't get me wrong; bellll1 short has Its advantages, too. For Instance: I have never been struck by a lowflying plane. I can still get In for the under-twelve prtce at the theater. If I am knocked down, I don't have as far to all as most people. So short people of the world arlseT Don't be ashamed of your height. Just remember If anybody says your legs are too short, simply say, "No they're not; they reach the ground."

Why Not Tell Us? In the BLACK AND RED of Northwestern College or even in the NORTHWESTERN LUTHERAN,there are generally a numberofannouncements of teachers who have movedto a new location, of retirements, births and death notices, anniversary dates, special articles on people in the field and the like.

BOOK REVIEW
What Attracts Children to Books? THE ART OF CffiLDREN'S BOOKS, by Diana Klemin, Clarkson N. Potter, tnc., New York,1966. BY SUSANROSE While browsing through the array of books recently received Into DMLC's growing library, one entitled THE ART OF CHILDREN'S BOOKShappened to catch my eye. Having worked In the chUdren's section of a. public llbrary, I have often wondered ..my children grab for certain books and pore over the pictures with great Interest. Why do they prefer some book to others? How much do illustrations contribute to the book's worth? In THE ART OF CHILDREN'S BOOKS, Miss Klemin satisfied my curiosity and gave me more Insights Into chUdren's literature than I had had before. Her collection of lllustrations Is divided Into flve sections: the storytellers, poetic and personal, imaginary, collage and abstraction, and spoclallsts. In order to acqua Int the reader with the Importance and development of the Hlustrated book, Miss Klemln has written a. very informative Introduction to he r collectk.n of pictures. One Interesting fact that she revealed Is that the present renaJssance of chlldren's book illustration began with the picture book In the late nineteen twenties~ At that time the artist was very llmited because of the type of printing donethen-the letterpress. But now with offset printing being used, the artist can become more creative In his work. She comments: "It Is the work of the artists, the masters of the book craft who belleve that the function of lllustration Is the creation and development of characters lI.I\d

Various Sources Offer Funds To Help Students Dur1Dg the 1969-1970 scbool year, DMLC wiU engage In an all-out program to aid the student In bls flnanciai resPonslb1lltles toward the college througll the· aUsPices of tbe Flnanc1a1 Aids OUlce, d1rected by Prof. John Oldfteld. 'lbe purpose of the Financial Aids O1llce is to make certaln that no qwll1ted student be denled a college educatton simply because of lack of money. In order effectively to carry out the goals oftills 011lce,Prof. Oldfield requests that aU students who want any. flnancial help whatsoever must makeformal appUcatton In his oUlce. This Includes all students who desire on-campus employment as weU as grants-In aid, loans, or scbolarshlps. 'lbe FAO also wUl serve the student as an. ent>loyment
offlce for private, off-campus jobs. Anyone deslrlng such a service also must register. Part of the money available 1tnancial aid next year w1llbe received through the National Defense student Loan Program. 'lbts Is a program designed to provide long-term, low-interest loans to qualWed students. SInce the philosophy of the Wisconsin Synod Is against government financial aid, It should be noted that the scbool, or rather the FAO, will act only as a banker. 'lbe purpose of thls program Is to aid the student and not DMLC. 'lbe college Is responsible for decld1ng the eUgiblllty of the students, according to need and abUlty. In order to be eligible to be given consideration for sucb a loan, eacb applicant must submit a completed ACT (Continued on page 8, col. I)

Yuk It Up! By Dave Lohse In my humble opinion the new 1969-1970DMLC Catalog should have a glossary In It. I teel a Ust at terms which describe DMLC and Its environment would aid new students to adjust more quickly to their new surroundings. Too often students have been lett In the dark. (The City of New Vim targets to pay Its light bUl.) So IIere are my suggestions tor a glossary. GLo.SSARY ASSIGNMENT: Anythtnga professor give you to do that takes time, which you don't have to sparer CALL NIGHT: A night In which tour years of blood, sweat, and tears pass before you. FLANDRAUSTATE PARK: DMLC's Ga.rden of Eden. Some at the dltterent animats occupying this area are the SUn_ Soaking Beach Bather, Starry-Eyed Mush Lover, and the Hand-In-Hand Two-Legged Stroller. The Inhabllants can be ldenill1ed by certain characteristics. They are branch scratches, grass stains, polson Ivy Intectlon, and a red, sun-baked body. HERMANNPARK: A Fiandrau extension center. A place across from the campus where couples go during their 9:30 p.m, break to discuss homework. Some even do their homework there. Signs of the park's being used consist of loud smacking noises apd....occaslonal clouds of smoke (which are 80 per cent nieoUn~). MLA(Martin Luther Academy): A DMLCmini-college. PDA (J?ubll\l,..DisPlay at Attectlon): A NO., NO..Exhibiting one's elIi()tlonal feelings to a person of the opposite gender: (lobk'-that up In your Funk .~d Wagnalls)In a public place such as a telephone booth. Examples of PDAare handholdlng, making eyes at each other, and an occasional peck on the cheek. (Shame). ' PIANO.RECITAL:An equal opportunity program. Every student 'has an equal dlanee to'make • complete Idiot out of hlmselt. La.stlng eUects of this program are a red face, watery eyes, and spastic trembUnghands. PRACTICEPERIo.D: A grotesque form of punlshment In which the victim Is thrown Into a cage with a monster whichhas eighty-el!!ht teeth, some sharp and some flat. Most students who endure this sadistic form of reci eatlon are never the same. PRACTICETEACHER: A}tylng sacrifice.

Rugged Exercise W.orks Wonders BY TRUDYLAPER Spring Is here againI What are the signs? Robins, sunny dandelions, green grass, and a campus that has come allve with people finding ways to keep physically fit while enjoying themselves at the same .time. A group of enthusiasts at DMLCseem to be doing just that. "Give that· fa! back to' the chickensI Go, you chicken fat, go-o-ol Now touch your toest One Two, One Two •.• ,t Exercising has always been an acceptable way of keeping fit, but It usually lacks the element of If:f\m." Some of the
girls on the fourth floor of H111vlew have changedthat Idea by starting their exercises with Robert Preston of MUSICMAN fame as he sings his way through
PRACTICETEACHING: k·unlque experience which lasts about eight weeks. You are thrown Into a classroom with 20 to 40 Uttle Ankle-Biters. Then the war begins. The Geneva Convention rules do not apply here. Every trick In the book Is used by both sides. The war Is ended by unconditional surrender. (The practice teacher Is the one who usually waves the white flag.)
"Chicken
Fat."
The record provides about seven minutes of vigorous exercises, which cause lots of sore muscles after the first night. Now a few of the girls continue with another half hour of Individual exercising, using
hula hoops, Jump ropes, and a dogmatics and a ed. psych. text (for arm exercises)' as equipment. With Pat Mrotek and Karen Miller out student teachtng, Rlkkl Sharf and Linda GuetIlch compose the' core of the group. To prevent any sagging spirits, the girls havea motto-"I! you want to belin', you must be thtn." Rikklalso writes little poems lo build the morale and adds a "problem''"for. ·the day" below. Here's a·aample:
on the other hand, professors Koelpln, Borgwardt, and Schenk have become quite avid joggers. They usually begin at 6:30 In the morning and jog anywhere from one half to . two or three ·mU~s. "Exhilarating, ... Is the way Profes sor Koelpln described the ·expertence, "People 'would feel better 11more of them did It.

PROFESSo.R: The enemy! He can be spotted by a look that means, "I know somethtng you don't!", and a.briefcase full of ammunltlon. His surprise a.ttack con~lsts of a deadly weapon called a quiz.

He says he Is smamr than the professor and sometlines seriously believes this. He wastes grea.t amounts of time goofing around, sleepIng, complaining, or just plain participating In the human race. His favorite pastime Is telling the professor he bas too much homework, and that he would like a lighter load. (He sometimes even gets away with It.)

Letter. To The Editor
.1'
Thank You,.Senior Staff!
Bratwurst cookouts, beach parties, sun bath-' ing, golf, tennis - all these fun-filled activitites mean summer for us. It is certainly true that not all summer is this way, for many students do have jebs and also find countless ways to help around the house. But besides the usual fun and work associated with ·summer, why not make your summer even more worthwhile?
In Vacation School As future teachers you should find summer to be an excellent time for expanding your experiences and preparing for your future classroom. One of the finest opportunities for any education major is to help in a summer school. Very often our churches sponsor two-week Vacation Bible Schools which need assistants and teachers. This offers first-hand experience in working with different age groups, even if it is for only half a day. You have the chance to teach' Bible lessons, work with crafts, do some Singing, and take the class outside for recreation and fun. It is just a taste-of getting up in front of the class and doing things on your own, yet it is enough to make you feel you have really done something worthwhile for the pupils and for yourself as a future teacher.
Being a Counselor Another wonderful opportunity is camp counseling. This, too, may only be for a week or a weekend but it still affords an excellent chance to work with children and to learn about them. In this way, you do not see their academic side as ' much as their desires and abilities connected with recreation. If you go along on the guided nature hikes and listen to some of the special speakers they have or see some of the films shown. to them, Jlou.·may also learn a great deal yourself. Another' value of being a elfinp' c'oiiil'-
selor is that you discover yourself to be in a position of responsibility and need to cooperate with your peers plus the older staff. The spirit and enthusiasm the experienced workers display may add a spark of life to your teaching, too.
Going out to Canvass Still another summer activity is helping .to canvass or to assist in the inner-core areas. A notice has been posted on one of the bulletin 'boards in the Academic Center urging students to offer their services to this type of project in Milwaukee. Have you looked at it? Too often we pass by these opportunities with a "Let the other guy do it" excuse. These mission fields are wait'ing for eager workers who want to open darkened minds unto a Shining Light - the Gospel. We want to do this when we become teachers. Why don't we start right now?
Becoming a Collector If you are unable to participate in these activities because of your summer job or your location, there are still other ways in which you can better prepare yourself for teaching. Start collecting pictures or series of articles from the paper, pick up inter e sting brochures or samples of things garnered from your travels, take pictures. or even colored slides to later use for illustrations, visit historic places, write for free pamphlets and aids, and keep on the lookout for anything you could use in future years. Perhaps you could even make up a series of bulletin boards and pack them away.

On Friday, May 16th, the Luther tennis courts and the New Ulm Country Club were occupied by team members from all of the teams In the SouthernMinnesotaJunior College Conference. This was the date that the conference gol! and tennis meets were held here In New' Ulm. Last year Luther hosted the tennis conference meet, but for, the first time ever, Luther hosted ..the SMJCC golf conierence meet at the Country Club. Both our teams sought goOd performances, taking advantage of their home premises to do so. Both meets began at 9 a.m. and carried on well Into the day. Because of the rainy weather, however, the tennis meet had to be continuedthe followingday. ,Due to the great number of teams In the conference, DMLC stljdents had ample opportunity to see the meets In action Inbetween Or after classes. Surely the competition was topnotch, for some of the top competitors In the state were here. For those Interested, this was Luther's last competition In the SMJCC. No longer will Luther be In the conference. We were not favored to win either meet, but both !earns put In fine performances. The tennis team tinlshed 3rd out of 6 teams, and the golf team finished 5th out of 9 !earns.

Students Elect Steve-Enter Collegiate Council President Since this Is my iast article, I teel It should renect a reminiscence of the last four years. W1Ih that In mind, I ded!cate this article to the Senior Class. Remember your first gl1mpse of DMLC, and how shocked you were, not to tind a l6-foot high wall surrounding the campus? Nor did you find the protessors walking around in long monk-Hke robes, or partitions In the halls to separate the boys from the girls. Your biggest surprise was that your room wasn't a little 3 toot by 3 foot cubicle, which contained one table with a ' candle on 11, a plank bed with a wooden p1ll0w, and a corner with hard peas on the floor tor you to kneel on when you were bad. Remember our tlrst Arbor Day. when a group of us guys spent all day in 90 degree heat digging pole vault, broad jump,
and high jump p1ls tor the track team, and then a couple of days later the Athletic Department had them filled in again? Remember the old D1n1ngHall? We had. to stand in line outside during the winter. Some students troze in theii' tracks I1ke statues. They were no great loss, however, because we could cover them UP with snow and Use them for SnowCarnival. Once you got Inside the Dining Hall it was almost impossible to tind a seat. Then when youdid find a place to sit, it was usually on a chair with only three legs. And, oh, that menu. Spanish rice six' times a week and just tor the sake ot change on sunday we had just Plain, rice. To top It all off, we always had coconut banana ice cream for desert.
Old Student Union Remember the old Student Union? It looked llke a Clv1l War bunker after a three day artUlery attack. Couples used to sit in the T.V. room tor hours, until someone made the observation that the tube had been burnt out tor tour months. It was a funny thing, after everybody tound out the tube was out, they still went in that room. The pool table was coolness, too. It had a bare slate top, nine balls, and halt a pool cue. stU! there were many exc1ling games played. ' Remember the Soccer Homecoming our sophomore year? It snowed the day before. We spent aU night pumping water off the field and hauling tons of snow away with wheelbarrows. It must have helped; we won the game. Because the tield was so muddy, the players looked as it they had been in a pig race. That was the same game the bleachers collapsed, and 300 people each fell an altitude of tour tee,!. Rememher girls, how you would sit up at night talking about a certain. boy, how disgusting, you thought he was, and how you couldn't stand himI Then the next day that same boy would ask you out, and suddenly you 'thought he was the biggest catch on campus.
Sadie Hawkins Days Remember boys, all those sadie Hawkins Days when we would nervously sit in the dorm wh1le the girls made out their call list? What an awful feeling when that phone rang, and you found out you were a first-round draft cboice. Remember, boys, the first-' time you received a letter from your Selective' Service Board stating, that you were to report for your physical, and you couldn't go because you had used up all your planned absences? Then it became a batUe between the Administration and General Hershey. Remember when youwould go into your plano lesson not knowing anything? Your plano teacher would stomp her feet, pound her fists on the plano, and sob loudly. . These are a few experiences we will remember about DMLC, but most of aU, we w1ll remember what a great school it is. I've enjoyed writing these articles, I hope they helped brighten your day just a little. Remember, it you can go through this world with a smlle on your face the going is a lot easier. (It also makes people wonder what you have been up tal)
Election time has come and' gone once again to the DMLC campus, as DMLChas elected a new Collegiate Councll president in the person ot steve Enter. On Thursday night, May 22, each candidate appeared before the Student Body in the auditorium to give a short speech to acquaint the students with the candidates, their programs and their pol1cies. David Wendler,present vtcepresident of Collegiate councn, asked the students to "give him more time" that he might further serve the student Body next year by giving them even better and more effective activities at such events as Homecoming, snow carnival andArbor Day.

Steve Enter to give a greater
voice 'to all the students of DMLC. ' Friday brought election day as a great percentage of the students came to the polls to vote. Only the announcement of the new president remained, and this then became the climax to the Activities Banquet on saturday night. The master of ceremonies first called Eric Hartzell, retiring president of councU, to the 'microphone for his farewell address. Eric reminisced somewhat upon hls experiences at DMLC over the past ,ft)ur ye.:s and called these years "the best years of his l1fe.'.'
Not because he thought the cUmate was that appealing or because the bulldings. were beautiful, but because of the mariy fine people he met and the Christian fellowship experienced at DMLC, he called this the finest school in the country.
Farewell , As a farewell from his office of president he thanke,dthestudents for bestowing such an honor .upon him, .a "country boy from Arizona:" He also especially commended David Wendler, his vice-president, and Elleen Zimmerman, junior representative on Councll, tor their efforts and achievements on councll this year. In closing he then intrOduced Steve Enter as the new 19691970 president of Collegiate Counc1l.
Steve Speaks ',Steve came to the micro-' phone and thanked the students for his election. He then emphasized the great necessity for taking an active part in the campaigns for class representatives next fall, as he said a president can do nothlngwithout an active Councll.
