Have you noticed that our dull, gray library has some color this year? Three colorful art glass windows were installed this summer over the front entrance, adding a rainbow of color to this otherwise plain structure. The idea of placing these
with Mr. Jerome Harders, art instructor at Wisconsin Lutheran High School in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, who put them into their final form. Reinart's Art Glass Studios of Winonawas contracted to make the windows. The theme found in the
central truths of our faith: the doctrine of the Trinity and of redemption. The east window portrays the humanities and the cradle of Him who glorified our humanity. The west window, the professional education theme, shows a sheph~rd's staff, depicting our C~~nllsslOn
Kresnicka, who is continuing her education this year. Miss Clemenson will accept another call in June.
Prof. Gerhard Bauer is the new addition to the male section of our faculty. He was born in Mission, South Dakota. Since Prof. Bauer's father was a pastor, the family moved quite a bit during his childhood. His grade school years were spent in a public school, and he continued his education at MLA and DMLC.
Originally from Fort Wayne, Indiana, Mrs. Joyce Schubkegel, has accepted a call to teach organ on a full-time basis. In the past, she helped in the music department by giving organ lessons on a part-time basis. Her husband, Prof. Francis Schubkegel, is also in the music department at DMLC. Mrs. Schubkegel grew up on a farm, and attended a
In 1961, Prof. Bauer was graduated from the University of Wisconsin with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Elementary Education. Since then, he has been working on a master's degree by attending classes regularly at the University of Minnesota. Prof. Bauer intends to continue classes at Mankato State. Prof. Bauer is teaching elementary education here at DMLC after having taught at Bloomington, Minnesota. When asked for any com-

Mrs. SCh~b~e~1 rec~ed f mas er s gee m yo She taught two years of grade school and two years at Concordia. Prior to coming to DMLC,she taught at Wisconsin Lutheran College. Mrs. Schubkegel is also the busy mother of four children;
much happier in a small town like New Ulm. Miss Nancy Clemenson, a '73 DMLC graduate, was born in Zumbrota, Minnesota. She grew up on a farm, and still lives there today. She attended public school until four years ago when she came to DMLC. Miss Clemenson is teaching organ, to replace Miss Judy
Lynette Vlasak hails from Hillsboro, Wisconsin, where she too lived on a farm. Her schooling was completed in public schools. She is now teaching physical education at DMLC. She is also coaching women's Intercclleglate volleyball, and is porn pon team adviser.

Gasses Eat and Compete Sunday, September 23, a large majority of the faculty and student body gathered in Luther Hollow to enjoy activities planned by the Collegiate Council. Barbequed hamburgers were eaten picnic-style, and after everyone had eaten, Greg Thiesfeldt directed the evening activities. Charlene Varnum and Bruce Babler, both freshmen, won the watermelon - eating contest. The soccer field was the scene for the next events. The sophomore class came in first for the wheelbarrow race, and the balloon - shaving event was won by Jane Schupmann and Jim Hewitt. &'1 Wels and Jim Hewitt won the three legged race. All together, the evening was enough to freshen us all from our "strenuous" first full week of school.

Beautifully portraying the themes of our Christian are a pleasing addition to our library.

Mr. Some-One, Mr. Every-One, Mr. Any-One and Mr. No-One were friends. They all belonged to the same school. .. but, they were rather strange students. Mr. Every-One liked to talk or sleep in class. Mr. Any.()ne wanted to study, but was afraid Mr. Some-One wouldn't like him anymore If he did. So, No-One studied, and No-
One participated in school activities and organizations. Mr. AnyOne had a tendency to be easily swayed to "follow the crowd" no matter what they chose to do. Instead of Mr. Some-One strengthening Any.()ne, the opportunity for witnessing was overlooked, and again No-One did it. Itseems that Any-One,Every-One, or at least Some-One could help in trying to improve situations that are lacking in performance. But, again, No-One will do it.
+ + The DMLC Messenger staff includes every student at the school, in a very special way. We welcome any special complaint you have in the form of an editorial, or any creation you have that you wish to share with others, such as poetry, art, or a fleeting relection on some aspect of life. If you have a contribution to the paper, just slip it under the Messenger room door. Don't be shy! The more participants we have, the more interesting the paper is for all of us to read.
We've Only Just Begun Until September 7, the campus of DMLC was calm, peaceful, and serene. However, that soon ended when students began returning for the 1973-74 school year. From then on havoc prevailed. On Saturday, Sept. 8, incoming freshmen registered. After spending a great deal of time unloading a full car in a crowded parking place in front ci the dorm, they were able to begin their Iirst phase of dorm life. After that ordeal was over the freshmen got their first taste of a college registration line. Their taste buds got another sensation that evening at the welcome luncheon held in the LMU gym. They were introduced to the leading administrative heads of the school and alao had a chance to talk with their future professors. Sophomores began registering on Sunday afternoon, juniors on Monday morning, and seniors in the afternoon. That evening the opening service for the new school year was held in the chapel-auditorium of the Academic Center. The sermon was delivered by Pastor G. Jerome Albrecht, a member of the Board of Control, who based his remarks on Micah 6:~. Here the prophet tells us to "do justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with thy God." After the singing of a hymn, Pastor Otto Engel, Chairman of the Board of Control, inducted the new faculty members into their offices. Prof. Gerhard Bauer was inducted into the cifice of professor of education, Miss N'. ncy Clemenson and Mrs. JOj~'e Schubkegel as instructors in the music department, and Miss Lynette Vlasak as an instructor in physical education. Prof. Schubkegel served as organist for the service and President Frey conducted the liturgy. The enrollment for the school year stands at ·661, about the same as last year. There are enrolled 188 freshmen, 179 sophomores, 135 juniors, and 141 seniors. In addition, one junior and 12 seniors are emergency teaching. Presently,
• • •
there are three students studying for their certification and two part time students. The Lord has given us the students, the staffs, and the facilities. Now let us learn to do His work.

English. Joan defeated the invaders at Orleans, Patay, and other places along the river. At Paris, after successfully getting the dauphin crowned, she was defeated and sold to the English. Joan's case was turned over to the church, and she was tried for heresy and witchcraft. After she was found guilty, she was burned at the stake. The Alpha-Omega Players are a very talented and versatile group. Ken Zinck is a good example of this; he played five different roles in "Saint Joan." A nationally touring group, the Alpha-Omegas are

A Slice of Life Another school year, two weeks gone by, and ... the cat-chase-mouse game of life - (what else but Love) has begun. What else but love can give you wings on a warm fall evening, and can maim your vision with stars? Before you get too far involved, (Freshman) just think what you have to look forward to: A demure feeling unconsciously present when his big clumsy hand squeezes yours. Finding out about his family (Cousin Jane has three big moles, and Uncle Harvey has a hearing aid stored in his left pocket). Finding out she can beat you in a game of pool. Pouring out your emotions in a corny letter to her when you are gone on vacation. Big tears of happiness when he finally calls at 7:300n Friday night. Solving unspoken problems through the silence of understanding. A bubbly sensation located dead in the middle of your stomach, that feels like a swarm of butterflies when things go right. A big white moon in the winter cold. Love is a big slice of Life, so live It. Cathy Ulrich

Players Enact Story of Saint Joan Joan of Arc was burned in DMLC's auditorium Wednesday, September 19, in the college's first lyceum program of this year. The Alpha-Omega Players from Dallas, Texas presented a fine portrayal of George Bernhard Shaw's play, "Saint Joan." The setting of this story is fifteenth century France. At that time the English invaded France to keep Charles VII from the French throne. Joan appeared at the age of 17 and claimed to hear voices from the saints, St. Margaret, St. Catherine, and St. Michael. These voices directed her to collect forces and fight the

Homecoming. What does that mean to you? Watching the team win on Saturday? Bringing your boyfriend up on campus? Getting a free meal and a little entertainment? Buying a new dress or a corsage for your sweetie? For some people, Homecoming starts a couple of weeks before the actual weekend. A lot of hours are involved to promote spirit and pep, and too often, those hours are left up to a handful of people. Some people will do anything to promote spirit on the DMLC campus, others hide in closets, under beds, behind books, and in organ practices, just to avoid being asked to help out. I suppose their reasons are justified. Some people are afraid to leave their room after dark. Others have taken a vow never to do anything that isn't included in one's grade point accumulation. Still others think it's a genuinely cool idea to leave all the work and pep and spirit to somebody else. This year, make Homecoming a student body activity. Volunteer to help. There are posters to make, skits for pep rallies, floats, decorations for the gym, entertainment, and about a million and a half little committees that take no special talent, just an ounce or two of effort. If you aren't sure what you can do to help out, ask your Pep Club representative. Join the handful of kids who want to make Homecoming 1973 a success. A little pep can go a long way!

U has happened to most of us at one time or another, and it is one of life's most frustrating moments. It's that moment when' you're having lunch with congenial friends, and you have just reached the punch line of your favorite joke, when the waiter appears out of nowhere, as if on cue, and asks in a loud voice, "Who gets the steak sandwich?"

Dr. Martin Luther College is participating in the International Environmental Alert Network operated through the Smithsonian Institution's Center for Short-Lived Phenomena. Through the network the center receives reports on all types of short-lived events that have an ecological or environmental impact, particularly reports of sudden changes in terrestrial and aquatic biological systems. After evaluation, summary reports are air mailed to all participants by the Smithsonian. Ron Wels has been posting the reports received in room 126. Students becoming aware of events in this area should contact Professor Boehlke. Any rare or unusual arurnal migrations, population explosions, major flora and fauna mortalities, oil spills, pesticide or herbicide contaminations, mercury or other toxic substance poisonings causing bird kills, fish kills, or vegetation die-offs is of interest. The center also hopes to get reports of earthquakes, volcanoes, fire balls and meteorite falls; however, the emphasis of the Environmental Alert Network is on obtaining information on natural and man-made events that have a local or regional ecological impact.

DMLC Kicks Off Football Season
--
In practice during the following week the Lancers worked on stopping the rushing attack. When the game with Sioux Falls arrived, the defense had some success in shutting off the ground game. The score stood at 22-0 with one quarter remaining .. Then the defense broke down under Sioux Falls' passing attack. They added 35 more points in the last quarter. Weather conditions played a factor in the game because the offense couldn't move the ball. Punts were held up by a gusty wind giving the opponents good field position and helped to "blow" the visitors off the field during the final fifteen minutes. DMLC had a chance to score in the first quarter after recovering a fumble on the opponents' IS-yard line. A penalty on Sioux Falls gave Luther a second opportunity to score on a field goal attempt. After having the first blocked, the Lancers faked and tried to pass. It fell incomplete and Sioux Falls took over. Sioux Falls quarterback, Terry Tendler, threw for 262 yards and 5 TOs. Leading ground gainers for the home team were Roger Guge and Merritt Gerley. They picked up 107and 113yards. Luther, on the other hand, had a minus one yard rushing and only one first down, that coming on a long pass play. Eric Troge, Mark Ricke, and Orville Breitkreutz once again stood out on defense.

Coach Dennis Gorsline hopes to generate some offense in the home opener against Dana College. This should give the defense a chance to rest.
History repeated itself. For the second year in a row in DMLC's revival of football, the Lancers dropped their first two games. This year's opener was at Watertown, Wis. on Sept. 15,
handed DMLC a 32-0 setback. The following Saturday, Sept. 22, 1973, Luther traveled to SiouxFalls, S.D. The final score read Sioux Falls 57, DMLC O.

In the Northwestern game Luther gave their opponents a golden opportunity by permitting a blocked punt due to a bad snap from center. Starting from the 30, it took eight plays before Bill Hieges scored the first touchdown. The extra point was good giving NW a 7.{Jlead midway through the first period. Twelve points were put on the board in the second quarter on two runs by Mark Toepel. The first was a sweep from two yards out; the second, a 73-yard romp up the middle. Both kicks failed, and Northwestern went into the locker room with a 19.{J advantage. Northwestern again moved down the field following the kickoff after halftime, but Dave Noffsinger recovered a fumble for DMLC on DMLC's four. Seconds later, Luther returned the favor by fumbling. Stu Zak fell on the ball in the end zone. The score stood 2S-O after three periods of play. One more score was made by NW in the last stanaz. Hiegis carried the ball across the goal line to cap a 7(}.yard drive. Neither team scored in the remaininz minutes. The gun sounded the end to a 32-0 Northwestern win. Mark Toepel led the winners with 206 yards in 29 carries. His output topped the total Lancer offense. Orville Breitkreutz Eric Troge, and Mark Ricke led the team in tackles and assists.

The 197:J..74Collegiate Council began another big year as of September. The first big activity of the year was the freshmen orientation program and mixer. Both turned out a huge success, although' it was rumored that more freshmen enjoyed the shoe pile rather than the speakers and tests. Next on the agenda was the Fall Activity. It was received with a rousing applause and everyone said they had a great time. The Council has sponsored two movies so far this year with fairly good attendance. The third one scheduled for November 10 is "Who's MInding the MinI?" The MissIon Committee has been busy this year. First it sent
Together $210.85 to the Latin American Church Extension Fund and the same amount to the East Fork library Fund. On Thursday, October 18, $161.54 was collected from the student body. There were four such collections with the last one being held November 8. The money collected will be sent to the Swedish Mission Conference and Aid Fund. More mission collections are planned for the rest of the year. Collegiate Council would like to extend a welcome to all students. We invite you to come and visit us in the Collegiate Council office located on third floor Old Main. It's open 1 PM 4:30 PM Monday through Friday. We'll be looking forward to meeting you.

October 28, 1973 marked the date for the Twentieth Annual Reformation Service of WElS churches in the New Ulm area which was held here at DMLC. Pastor Melvin Schwark of Lake City, Minn. delivered a beautiful message taken from Genesis 1:3-4, the theme being "And God said, Let there be light." The guest liturgist was Pastor Howard Russow of Sleepy Eye, Minn. . The service was made even more beautiful by the singing of "Lord Keep Us Steadfast in Thy Word" by a children's choir under the direction of Mr. David Nack of Fairfax, Minn. Prof. Bruce Backer of DMLC directed a mass choir in the singing of "IT Godthe Lord were Not our Guide." The organist for this Reformation service was Prof. Francis Schubkegel of DMLC. The WElS Church Extension Fund was designated to receive the offering from this service. -cBefonr-the'joint'1lel'Vice;"at ". 3:00 in the afternoon, a very moving full-length film was shown which was entitled "Martin Luther."

It seems that the person who killed the other girls is now after Helen. But who is it? Is it Dr. Perry who seems to want to help her? Is it Steven Rice who seems very strange? Is it the aloof professor? The mystery unfolds around these questions. Ladles of the Tower On a dark foggy night in London two cleaning ladies

origin and growth of the Protestant movement. European and American documents of Roman Catholic and Protestant writers were carefully studied and formed the basis for the script. Although Martin Luther lived in the sixteenth century, the film is made in such a way as to give the observer an opportunity to feel as if he were actually there, witnessing Luther's whole life. This film is not fiction but fact. Prof. Koelpin stated that he will also be showing this film to the students of DMLC who are now studying the Reformation Era.

The Elves and the Schumacher Once upon a time, there was a Luther student named Bernie Schumacher, He was an average Luther student, fond of girls, food, and organ practices. One night, as he sat at his desk, faithfully completing his homework assignment, he began to feel sleepy. "Now,how can this be?"hequerled. "It is only two In the morning, and 1have finished only half of my homework. I must stiU write a cantata, critique OrIgin of the Species, and reproduce the Mona 11sa in construction paper; 'ere it Is dawn, when I shall wash dishes In the cafeteria." But the sirens of_slutnberland are not to be ignored, and soon Bernie had tumbled Into bed. Just before his beavy eyelids closed, Bernie thought, "How w11l I ever get my work done?" It was as if no time had passed when he was startled out of his sleep by the honklngs of his pet goose, Elvira. (Bernie didn't especially like alarm clocks, so he kept Elvira, of whom he was very fond, to wake him each morning.) •'Goodness!" he exclaimed, "I must finish my homework before breakfast starts, for I must wash dishes! And - alas and alack - I have only fifteen minutes until breakfast!" When he turned to his desk, where, to his wideeyed amazement, he saw all of his homework finished! It was too good to be true I HIs cantata was finished, his critique was typed, and there, smil1ngat him, was a beautiful constructlon-paper Mona 11sa! "Oh, frabjOus day!" cried Bernle. He was all smiles all day long, until the sun went down in cnmson glory, and he turned to his books once again, "Shucks," he said, "It'd be much easier If I could just go to sleep each night and wake up with my homework done. I wonder what really happened last night." continued on page 3

Expert Presents Food for Thought Howmuch of our food today is made up of chemicals? Are the additives in our food harmful? Which foods are really safe for us to eat? These are questions which concern all of us as consumers of food. Dr. Ted Labuza, a nutrition expert from the University of Minnesota, answered these questions and many others in a slide lecture presented in the DMLC
'Snorgs continued continued from page 2 So Bernie devised a plan. Yawning loudly, he said, "Alas and alack, whatever shall Ido? I'm so tired, and iny homework isn't done." With that, he aawled into bed, seaeUy keeping his eyes . open just a tiny bit, to see what would.happen. To his astonished amazement, tile door of his closet (which he never never cleaned) slowly opened, and three tiny elves .came skipping out, merrily making their way to his desk. Without a .sound, they began to type and write, and to finish every bit of homework that Bernie had left undone. In an amazingly short time they were done; and then the . ,c,"•. ~oIJbem~~e ..o(Bernie'B.desk and looked. down on his cberublc,1acee .TheWIzened, grey-balred elf spoke first. "Well, boys, another gooddeed done! Just a few more minutes, and we'11 have to hIgh-taillt back to the closet!" Crosby, the youngest, said, "ToQbad we can't split. The smell of those old socks Inthere Is enough to turn my stomach!" ''Only when he dIacovers Us can we leave," replied Stills, the
auditorium, October 23. Dr. Labuza examined what is happening inside the food industry today. He pointed out that the first concern of the food industry is in the safety of foods. While it is true that there are many chemicals and additives in foods today, most are not harmful. However, the food industry has just recently become concerned with the nutrition levels of our foods. A large portion of his lecture dealt with the common problem of obesity. Dr. Labuza considers all chemical aids to dieting dangerous. He pointed out that many weight reducing clubs such as TOPS or Weight Watchers are only 1()'20 percent effective because they do not emphasize what he considers to be the most Important factors in
weight loss, namely, a permanent change in people's eating habits and exercise. This lecture was presented to a large audience consisting mainly of homemakers from the New UIm area and a small number of students and faculty members. Following the lecture was a question and answer neriod. Dr. Labuza was originally born in New Jersey. He attended Duke University on a basketball scholarship. Later be was awarded a science scholarship to MIT from which he earned both a bachelors and a masters degree. In 1971 he was awarded the Outstanding Teaching Award. Following this he came to the University of Minnesota where he is in the field of food nutrition.
This year's Marluts, directed by . John Stark and Paul Kassulke, consists of eighteen members who plan to sing off campus, such as at Christmas time, and in two concerts. For Christmas, they will go caroling .to the shut-ins and wake up the sleepy-eyed campus' at 5:30 a.m. the morning before Christmas vacation. Their first concert is in February and they will be singing "The Wabash Cannonball," "Windy," "The Gang that Sang Heart of my Heart," and, of course, "Up, Up, and Away," the joint number to be done with the Aeolians.

"Then why don't we wake him up? I wanria wake him up!" yelled Crosby. . "Union rules do not allow that," replied Nash, the greyhalred. His dIacovery of us must be an accident. And If he were to deceive us,lfhe were to know about us and not let us know that he knowsthen woe unto him, because then we will execute the Punishment!" Crosby and Stills shuddered, thinking of the last poor human who had suffered the Punishment, that is, loss of a prized possession. (Elves are very worldly, and attached to their possesaions, you see. That's why they punish humans that way.) Withthat, the three elves, Crosby, Stills, and Nash, all trundled . back into the closet and shut the door. "The smell in here is still enough to make me gag," said Crosby, rather loudly. Bernie sat up in bed. "I'm going to have to be careful so's not to let them know that Iknow that they're doing my homework." With that, he rolled over and went to sleep. He awoke the next morning to Elvira's honking and a beautiful sunshine which followedhim around all morning. "This certainly is the life," said he. At noon,he returned to hisroom to feed and water Elvira:'You want to know something, Elvira? I'm a really lucky guy," be whispered. He couldn't restrain himself; he had to tell someone! But he was very careful so. the elves in the closet wouldn't hear. "I'm probably the luckiest guy in the whole world. I've got elves that do my bomeworkfer me!" Just then, he spied Crosby sitting on his stereo. Bernie's mouth dropped open as he realized what he'd done. "No! Wait!" he cried, but it was no use. Crosby smiled slyly and slowly faded from sight. "OIl, whatever shall I do? They know I've deceived them, and now I'm goingto get the Punishment! Oh, how awful! What will they do tome? Willthey make me an elf, too? Or maybe a toad? Or maybe just a wart? - Oh no!!" . There was nothing be could do; the rest of the day was cloudy. That night, as the rain fell and the wind rattled his window, Bernie slaved at his hooks, but to no avall. He could not concentrate. FInally, he fell into bed, and dropped off into a restless sleep. He was awakened the next morning by the hleak grey sunlight that hurt hisbloodshot eyes as he opened them and looked at the ceiling. Why had he not heard Elvira's honking? Why did he not hear the rustle ofher feathers? He was afraid to look at her cage. With one nervous jerk, he twitched his head so that his eyes beheld her cage. His mouth fell open in a cry, "OIl, no! Not Elvira! !n For there sat Elvira, in her cage; but she was on a platter, roasted to golden deliciousness. "Oh, no! no... " said Bernie, as he began to cry sofUy.

Pep Club Says "Thanks" Pep Club would like to give out a great big thank you to all those who helped bring about a terrific autumn festivity in the name of homecoming. Student spirit seemed to be exceptionally alive this. year. A goodly share of students and faculty gave a little time and a lot of effort the two weeks prior to homecoming weekend. Of course, finding time to help out can be a hassle, and sometimes it does make a dent in the time onehas set aside for homework. But involving oneself in extracurricular activities such as homecoming can be as much of our learning as is the curricular activities we spend so much time with. Those who volunteered their help know what homecoming Is all about. It's laughing with friends as blue paint drips on the orange background .. it's keeping a daisy for yourself as you distribute them from table to table. . it's selling tickets
under the "Lancer" every noon hour while Joe Student and his brother give you a hard but smileful time about anything under the sun.. .it's making sure there's enough Kleenexes to go all the way around the wagon; and maybe one or two extra for the cold that's coming on... it's sweating and running around with friends in an effort to get it all together .. it's stepping back and smiling at a beautiful sunshiny autumn weekend and saying, "Hey, I helped make it happen!" There will always be those who aren't interested in homecoming, who really don't want a part of it, who don't care if it goes one way or another. But this year, Pep Club says a big thank-you to the many people who poured out their talent and time and spirit. It's a special way of showing you're proud to be a part of DMLC, a part of Lancer spirit, by giving a small part of yourself.
Debate and Forensics Teams Attend Meets DMLC's Debate and Forensics teams are well into the season, under the coaching of Doctor Thomas Kuster Debate is a contest betwe~ two persons, or teams, who try to convince the judges or audience that they have the most reasonable argument in relation to the resolution. This year's Debate team consists of ten people, five teams of two. The teams each have a chance to ar.gue either affirmative or negative to the 1973-74topic, which is: Resolved: That the Federal Government should control the supply and utilization of energy in the United States. October 6 was the first meet which was at Grand Forks, N.D. At this debate, each team won one debate. The second debate was October 16 at St. Thomas Collegein St. Paul. This was the first Twin Cities Debate League meet held, and is the league to which our team belongs. The third meet scheduled was October 31 at Mankato State. Forensics consists of several different categories in which to participate. There is Interpretive Reading of Poetry, Interpretive Reading of Prose Original Oratory, Mter Dinne; Speaking, Rhetorical Criticism and Extemporaneous Speaking. All of these types of discourse
are memorized' by 'the participant. At present, there are four people actively participating in Forensics. The first meet was held October 22, with a second on November 2. If anyone is interested in joining in this group, just see Dr. Kuster.
Homecoming 1973 was the best football homecoming since the 1940's.If you are wondering why we can say that, it is because it was only the second football homecoming since World War Il, and we happened to lose last year's game. Not only that, but the weather even eo-operated this year. It was so warm and sunny that DMLC visitors wondered if they really were in the "frigid" state of Minnesota. Anticipation had been mounting for two or three weeks with all the things that had to be prepared. Pep Club was busily planning the whole affair, and the classes were busy preparing their floats. The freshmen were occupied with initiation, and the sophomores were busy seeing that they were occupied. The band could be heard all over the neighborhood as it practiced marching. The drill team and the pom-pon girls were busy preparing their routines. The freshmen initiation this year included both men and women. In other years the women were completely ignored or just put through a perfunctory routine. This year the women even marched in the parade. Initiation also consisted of the usual wearing of beanies and singing in the cafeteria during meals. All in all, the freshmen must feel that now they are true members of the campus. Homecoming '73 was officially kicked off on Friday night with the traditional pep rally. Also according to tradition, the freshmen helped entertain with their presence. This year a number of groups came out and did cheers (not as the cheerleaders do them, however). The audience also contributed with several groups of volunteers who were to make up cheers based on the theme of this year's homecoming: Breakfast Cereals. The winner of the contest was a group comprised of Larrv Rogien, Bill Hartwig, and Mark Ricke. The next event of the weekend was the parade the following afternoon. The drill team led off the parade with the band following. Mter tilt band came a procession of floats, seminoats (What was that anyway.

Profs?), decorated cars, and the pep club wagon. The winner of the float contest was the sophomore class with their portrayal of a Lancer player being fed a mashed Maranatha player by a silver Lancer with a spoon instead of a lance. The members of the Children's Theatre won the car decorating contest with their collection of cereal box sayings. The game followed soon after the parade; at least it was supposed to. Maranatha did not get to New UJm until five minutes after game time, and the game itself started about thirty minutes after it was scheduled. Evidently the Crusaders should never have come at all, because Luther scored its first shutout in history and established a new school scoring record against them on their way to a 42-0win
-
of event final The homecoming was the banquet. There were no complaints about the food this year, as the menu consisted of ham and shrimp and lived up to the traditional quality homecoming meal. Along with the usual events such as the speeches, the introduction of the players, and the announcement of the contest winners, there was also some very good entertainment. A singing group from Onalaska Lutheran put on a fine show with selections from "Fiddler on the Roof," Johnny"Trash," and other contemporary artists. The cheerleaders followed with a skit and then came a group composed of Vicki Long, Lynette Bliefernicht, Bill Hartwig, Rick Gibson, and Phil Boileau. The entire assembly closed with the singing of the school. song.
The winning Sophomore float promoted school spirit, "Breakfast Cereals."

by Kathy Bauer Seniors in kindergarten? As part of the course, Teaching Kindergarten, I was given the opportunity to visit the kindergarten class at St. Paul's in New UJm for a few hours several weeks ago. Miss Dorothea Knutson, the teacher, welcomed me to the class and was eager to answer any questions I had. Becuase of the large number of children attending kindergarten they are divided into two classes. One of these meets in the morning and the other in the afternoon. Itwas interesting to see the differences in these two groups. At this age the attention span of children is so short that their class periods were only fifteen minutes long. (What a nice change!) The equipment of the room also fascinated me

DMLC won their first football game since the program started over two years ago. The final score was '1:/-7 with Jay Schwall carrying the ball 34 times for 123 yards and 2 touch- downs. Tom Hunter was able to complete 6 passes, two of which went to their pint.&zed dynamo
Jay Storm for touchdowns. DMLC obtained 18 of its 20 first downs by rushing, with total yards of rushing being 193 yards. All of this added together for a lancer victory which the fans will never forget, not even at their 50th anniversary. DMLCvs. Maranatha Homecoming was made all the more enjoyable by another Lancer victory over Marantha, 42-0. Both the defense and the offense put all out for this game. OnceMaranatha showed up and the game began the Lancers found that they could easily pass the ball. At haUtime the score stood 3()..() and by the fourth quarter the thirdstringers were put in. Even with all their penalties DMLC held their ground.
e carrying out this year's Homecommg theme,
The heroes of the game were Schwall, Huntington, Storm, and Herrmann with their ball carrying. Hasse and Firle came through with some great interceptions and Hunter did a fine job of passing. DMLC chalked up 15 first downs and gained 245 yards by rushing. It all made for a happy homecoming. DMLCvs. Northwestern (of Minoesota) This was the Lancer's second win of the season, but the team wasn't happy because they had not played their very best. There were many fumbles and interceptions and this hurt DMLC. One of the interceptions was caught by both teams and after a five minute discussion on the part of the officials the ball was awarded to Northwestern. From there Northwestern easily got a touchdown. After the return DMLC was able to score with Ben Schlawin going over. The next TO carne with quarterback Torn Hunter carrying the ball over and Jay Schwall scoring on a conversion. At the end it looked as though the opposition might score, but this was stopped when Paul Kassulke intercepted their pass. The figures for the game weren't too impressive, but DMLChad won its second game. Final score: 14-7. DMLCVI. Lakeland In the last horne game of the season, the Lancers lost to Lakeland 'I:/~ in spite of the 190 yards 'in penalties called against Lakeland, The Lancers were held to two first downs and a total of 46 yards, The Lakeland "Muskies" had great ball control which in the end was the main factor in the outcome. However, the Lancer defense did one of its best jobs in holding Lakeland to only 27 points, The game had many penalties which included players thrown out for unsportsmanlike conduct, players not using their mouthpieces, and aiding a receiver. After this second-to-last game of the season the Lancers overall record stood at 3-4.
The Luther Cadettes present the colors before the Homecoming game.
Drill Team Looks Foreward toa Great Year October 20th proved to be a big day for DMLC's drill tearn, the Luther Cadettes, The talented twenty-six member squad led the homecoming parade, presented the Arnerican flag before the "kickoff," and performed an intricate marching routine during halftime. With the help of their talented leaders - Carole Ristow, Drill Master; Sandy WlJkes, Assistant Drill Master; Becky Hartwig, Rifle Instructor; Craig Kitzrow, Instructor; and' Sue Carl, Secretary-Treasurer - and many long hard hours of practice, the drill team helped make Homecoming '73 a big success. The drill team, organized in January 1971, anticipates a great year with the addition of

ndergarten everything was miniature. This is something which we had previously discussed in class. Free play was the first class I visited. During this time the children were allowed to play and use any of the toys in the room. Through their play each individual child's personality seemed to be very noticeable. The rest of their day consisted . of classes: Word of God, finger plays, music, reading readiness, recess, story time, number work, milk break, and devotion. This is the first time such a program has been undertaken in connection with the Teaching Kindergarten class. I found the opportunity to observe the kindergarten in session and to observe the methods Miss Knutson employed for these little ones very profitable.

DMLC Offers Schooling for Foreign Studertts DMLC has always been known to have students from all over the U.S. in attendance. However, this year we also have three foreign countries represented by four students. The countries are: Sweden, Japan and Canada. Maybe you know these people at sight, but, hopefully the following articles will give you a few more insights in to their personalities.
Japan Did you ever think what it wouldbe like to be brought up in a heathen nation and then become acquainted with Christ? This year, we have two girls from Tsuchlura, Japan who experienced this feeling of coming to know Christ after many years of following the Buddhist customs. A Christian in Japan is an outcast rather than a person with social status as is true in the U. S. However, Yuki Sakal and Kazue Tomih. made their choice seven years ago at the age of 18 and were baptized and joined the Nozomi (Hope) Ev. Luth. Church in Tsuchiura. Yukiwent to grade school and high school in Tsuchiura. She went to Waseda University in Tokyoand is a graduate of that school. After graduating, she worked for a while as a telephone operator, then went on to language school in Paris. Yuki learned of DMLCthrough her pastor, the Rev. Kermit Habben. Sbe then decided to come to DMLC to learn more about God. Both Yuki and Kazue are taking HIstory of Israel, New testament HIstory, Teaching Religion, Basic Music, and Piano, and find they have to put in double the study time because translations are difficult. Kazue Tomita also went to school in Tsuchiura, but after high school graduation she worked for Pastor Habben for three years. Last summer, Kazue came to Los Angeles to study the English language. This past summer she worked in the nursery on the Apache Indian
Reservation in East Forx, Arizona. Kazue said she loved her work at East Fork and often feels homesick for Arizona rather than Japan. Impressions of the U.S.? Yuki feels the U. S. is so big we never really know all that goes on all over as she does at home in Japan. She is surprised at the "localized" newspapers and radio stations. In Japan, everyone reads the same newspaper. She feels she knows more about what was happening in Washington when she was at home. Kazue misses the closeness of the young people in Japan. She said the young Japanese get together much more to discuss problems than they do here in America. Both enjoy DMLCvery much. They would like to meet more people on the campus than just the people wholive around them in the dorm. So, anytime you can, stop to visit with these two very interesting young ladies from Japan.
Sweden Meet Gunilla Peterson, a typical, yet not so typical freshman at DMLC. Like any other college student here she has her favorite classes (History of Israel, Western Civilization I, and American Fiction), enjoys the food, has her fa vori te pastimes (horseback riding and sports), misses her family (four sisters and one brother), and in general "likes it very, very much!" But Gunilla is not an continued on page 7

Ben Franklin's Every year someone on the messenger staff is assigned an article on Junto. Easy? Not quite. Because most of the time that person knows about as much about Junto as you probably do. Then he writes an uninspiring article that leaves you with just about as much knowledge about. our little group as you' already had. 'Ibis year is gOingto be' <1llferent. Althougn the author does not promise that this will be an inspiring article that will make you want to immediately join Junto, at least the author knows a little about the group already. All you history concentrates knowBen franklin, right? Well, what Junto is trying to do is keep his spirit alive on this campus. You see, he started a discussion group of his own that he called Junto. It met and discussed the current events of his day. People became better Informed and the town of Philadelphia prospered from this wealth ofknowledge (If that sounds a little corny, just .remember there's a thing called "literary license"). That is
The Foreign student~ attending DMLC'this year are, seat~d: Kazue Tomita and Yuki Sakai; standing: Gunilla Peterson and Phillip Boileau.
Amateurs; Maestros; Organ Club Needs You! How much do you know about organs? Enough to build asecond Memorial Organ while blindfolded - in your room during an action-packed weekend? Not enough to tell the difference between the keyboard and a foot pedal? No matter. Even if you're just suffering to learn the note names in beginners piano, Organ Club has a place for you. Under the guidance of Professor Meyer, the Club meets twice a month on Thursdays. Regardless of musical background we have a guarantee: attend a meeting and you won't be bored. Now, where else in New Ulm can you say that? We have several outside activities planned this year, including a trip to Cicero's Pizza Palace where we'll see and hear a. genuine theater pipe organ. (That's what I call real food for thought.) Also
Spirit Lives Again
what Junto is trying to do here at DMLC.We meet and discuss current events and trends and give people a medium to air their own views or to sit and listen while others air their views in order to formulate their own opinions. As franklin's meetings were, ours are also very informal, sometimes bordering on the verge of getting out of control when two very stubborn people have opposite views. We have a few goals for this year. The first one is to get a little larger membership. We also plan to have a few guest speakers. In the immediate future, however, we are allied with Debate (that other forgotten group on campus) in holding a parliamentary debate on the subject of Bible translations. This will be held November 8
ill the Snack Bar. In case you are unfamiliar with parliamentary nenate, It IS roughly the sort of thing that goes on at congregational meetings and the like. There will be four speakers that will
have prepared speeches, two students with the positive and negative opening speeches and two professors with seconding speeches. This should be quite unique, because how many times have you seen professors on two different sides of an issue, or a professor backing up what a student has to say? Then the floor will be open to anyone who wishes to have his say in the matter, whether professor , or student. The debate will only be during convocation hour that Thursday, so you won't be saddled into staying for more than 50 minutes. It should be a good experience in practical speaking (or merely listening) on a topic that should concern everyone of us here at this college. After all, you are the ones that will be teaching from the Bible; and the translation that the Wisconsin Synod prefers will be the one that you will have to deal with. Come and hear a few views on why some people think that the KIng James Version whould be retained, and other views on why It should be replaced or phased out.
planned is a trip to Wicks Organ Factory in Highland, Illtnois. Or maybe you would like to help us plan an organ recital. Is decorating your bag? How about helping us to liven up the Music Center practice rooms. (You might even forget they're. for practicing.) . ' So whether you want to share your knowledge or increase it, whether you're an amateur or a maestro, Organ Club has a place reserved just for yoU.See you there!
Here I am, racing the clock again. Why did I put off this assignment until now? I've known for a week It had to be done. Oh, I have some reasons, and some pretty good ones at that! Monday night I had so much other homework to do, and this assignment wasn't due for four more days anyway. It's just logical to wait. Then Tuesday, I didn't feel in the mood to do it, and you can't do a good job if you're not in the right mood. Anyway, I had to have a deep talk with my roommate. Well, Wednesday was another story. I had to stay extra long at labs the way it was, and enough school is enough! Thursday evening I became frantic with the realization that this particular assignment was due the next day! With all my worrying and wondering what to write, I become exhausted. Anyway, Ican always get up at 3:30 to start â&#x20AC;˘.my paper. '. :;~. Well; ttJe-bell just rang for, class as Iwas signing my name. Doesn't this sound familiar? Putting off our-jobsuntil thelast minute is one fault I think most of us possess. Naturally, we can't do our best when we merely are thinking in terms of getting done by a deadline. But, who wants to be different? So, goahead, put things off until the last minute. Can yoil beat time? I barely did.
Media Center Expands Many students will be surprised to learn a'>out the increase of equipment in the library's media center. At the present time there is a duplicating machine, which will produce a single copy at a time. This is really helpful when you need an extra copy of an outline or a report. There is a dry mount and a lamina ting machine. The dry mount will put a picture or report on to a type of lightweight poster board. The laminating machine is similiar, only it covers and seals it with a plastic film. In the Did curriculum library room there is an excellent light .
table. This is a fine instrument for tracing pictures. Other new devices this year are the automatic cassette and filmstrip viewers. You can privately watch a filmstrip and listen to. the accompanying cassette all at the same time. Inthe seminar room there is a machine which Includes a tape recorder 'and, turntable for records all In one. These are only some of the new items in the growing media center. They are valuable to everyone, so why not make use of them? If you have any questions the librarians will try to help you.

Foreign Students continued • · · continued .from page 6 ordinary student; her home is in Sweden. . An intense, interested, and deeply religious YOWlgwoman, Gunilla came to Luther because the Gospel is taught here in its truth and purity. In Sweden a student can only attend public schools where evolution is accepted, and Christianity is taught as merely another great religion of the world: J~t before traveling to Amenca this fall Gunilla also left the state ch~ch an act which is nearly equal leaving the Swedish people. Although the stat.e church calls itself Lutheran, It is extremely liberal, and she came to the conviction that a true Christian could not remain in a church associated .with so much heresy. . Are Sweden and Amenca very different? Gunilla d~sn't think so. Sweden IS a prosperous, modern nation, and life for YOWlg people is much the same as it is in America. "We have heard so much about America in Sweden," she says, "that I was not surprised when I came here." The most striking difference to her is the abundance of Christian day schools fOWldin our country. Gunilla wants to see as much of the
to
United States as' she .can, and she is especially looking ~orward to visiting Florida during Olristmas vacation. At the end of this school year, GWlillawill return to her home in Sweden. She wants to attend college there, hopefully to concentrate in the field of religion. A talented journalist who loves to compose poetry, she would like to write literature for the small free Lutheran church which has been started in Sweden. She says that "it will be very hard, and very easy to lose my faith, but I will try." We wish her God's richest blessings in this endeavor and hope that she will profit from and enjoy her stay on our campus.
Canada Phillip "Canada" Boileau is one of DMLC's new students from outside the states. He's here for several reasons. After finding out about DMLC,. he came to visit last year and liked the atmosphere of a school where everyone believes the same as he does. He decided that when he went to college he'd like to be away from home, study to be a teacher, and play American football.
Bands Strike up Tunes If people were wondering what the DMLC bands were going to sound like this year, they found out on November 4th. The bands' fall concert fell on a SjgIday evening, beginning atSlf;"Ill;Most of the songs were modern, with a few marches, a beguine, and a chorale thrown in for' seasoning. One of the highlights was "March of the Olympians," a march written especially for the winter and summer ()lympic games of 1960. The Concert Band Ensemble . is composed of 45 members. These people are also in the Symphonic Concert Band. - Others join them to form a 7()' piece band. . Mr. Roger A. Hermanson is directing this year, filling in for Mr. Luedtke who is taking a one-year leave of absence for .further study. The Symphonic Concert Band marched this fall in the college
Ski: Colorado! Think Snow! That's what the Ski Club is thinking right now that winter is just around the corner. This year again the Ski Club will be heading for the Colorado Rockies for some great skiing. There is still room for anyone who would like to go along. The club is planning to leave Dec. 26 and stay at Key Condountil school starts on Jan. 7. For the month of November the club will be starting their regular meetings to plan the first ski trips to Mankato and to view some ski movies. A fashion show is also being planned where the latest styles in clothing and equipment will be shown. If you want to keep up with the Ski Club just check their bulletin board for coming events. As a reminder, Ski Club is open to everyone whether they are snow bunnies or not.

Craig Kitzrow and Junlor-; Doug·.oNaSs" are""coconcertmasters. So, if you're still wondering what the DMLC bands sound like this year, be sure you find an opportunity to give them a few minutes of your time. They may just surprise you!
Phillip attended parochial grade school through the sixth grade but since has attended Canadian _public schools which teach policies and attitudes very similar to American schools. Sports is Phil's greatest interest. For example, take his last year a t high school. It was his last in the five-year high school system of Canada; he knew that his credits wouldn't be accepted towards a college education here, so he went out for almost all of his school's teams. Then he came here several weeks in advance to get started on his dream - to play American football. One observation Phil's made since he's been in the U.S. is that most Americans know little or nothing about Canada. He's discovered that many Americans think Canada is entirely above the Arctic circle and few realize that Ottawa, Ontario, his hometown, is the capital of Canada. In Phillip's spare time (apart from playing football), he's working on the Drama Club production, "The Spiral Staircase," and playing his guitar, taking the title of DMLC's "Elvis" following the homecoming banquet. His weeks so far at DMLC have been quite a change from the big city "life" he's used to, but he likes being with people who believe the same as he does. And by the way, Americans have an accent, Canadians don't - but that's only natural. Who Am I? Life in its continuation becomes a perennial fight to conquer one's unification.
The moving of the curriculum library into the main room allows students to browse more freely through the spacious shelves.
New Set-up Many changes have been taking place in our library, especially in the curriculum library. You will now find all the curriculwn materials in the main room of the lower level. These materials are not only textbooks but the collection also conU;ins many new visual aids and teaching helps. The library has purchased new shelves to house all these materials and has arranged them into separate modules. There are tables and chairs between each module for the students' convenience. Each subject is divided, and the teaching helps are all located with each individual subject. The old room which formerly housed the curriculwn library is now open to students and faculty. It ' is complete with large tables and chairs, lettering devices, and a light table. If you ever have any questions or need assistance in the curriculwn library, just ask one of your friendly librarians.
Swedish Pastors continued continued from page 2 This was one of the major problems which faced the Rev. Erlandsson. Being one of the few conservative, Bible-based pastors in the church, it was difficult for him to leave the church. But, the Rev. Erlandsson felt the dangers within were too great. He was compelled by Romans 16:17 to "mark them which cause divisions and offenses. . .and avoid them." To remain within the state church would not allow him to give an honest confession of his faith. Out of concern for all believers, the Rev. Erlandsson and 15 others found it necessary to leave the state church in April of this year. They have formed their own free congregation, St. Matthews Lutheran Church in Uppsala. On September 2, the Rev. Erlandsson ordained a pastor to serve his congregation. (He, hin1Self, is a professor, dealing more with the scholarly aspects of the ministry than with pastoral duties.) The state church bishops do not harrass this move. However, the greatest criticism of it comes from his fellow conservatives; still within the state church. Together, they formed a Bible-following society, in order to preserve the true Word. In 1968, they in,',,;,',1"
stituted a Bible research center, known as the Biblicum. They' wrote numerous books in opposition to the current critical, historical approach to the Bible which the state church practices. (It claims' that the Bible cannot all be the true Word of God; it contains inconsistencies since it is actually a collection of folk tales which have been preserved through the ages.) Now, his fellow-workers cannot understand why he had to leave the church. They are not daring enough to do so, and do not realize the dangers within. It is for these conservatives that the Rev. Erlandsson is extremely concerned. His trip to the United States has resulted in his small free congregation being declared in fellowship with WELS by the Synod's Commission on Inter-Church Relations. Our Synod has begun a Swedish Mission Conference and Aid Fund. The contributions from it will be used to support the Rev. Erlandsson ~e~i;~::'1 kiss you?"

CXJO:
Drama Portrays Story of Courage ..
\
The second major production of the year was staged by the Drama Club November 30, December 1 and 2. The MIracle Worker, the first drama of considerable length to be of· fered at DMLC in many years, was presented in two evening performances and a final Sunday ma tinee. Curtain times were 8 PM and 2:30 PM. The dedication and sacrifice of the cast and crew paid off. Many had relinquished their Thanksgiving vacations In order to prepare for the upcoming production. Based on the autobiography of Helen Keller, the play spanned three weeks of the life of Helen. (played by Annita Zickert) at age ten. Deaf and blind from infancy, Helen struggles through many trying experiences throughout the play, chiefly under the guidance of Annie Sullivan, the ~year· old teacher who 'adopts' Helen and takes ~plete charge of ~r. Anme .(played by
staircases, and even utilized the raised orchestra platform off one wing of the stage. Scott Uecker was in charge of the staging. Adding to the professional air of the play were the costumes rented from Schrafel Costumes Grand Meadow, Minnesota. ' Supporting members of the cast were Frank Geuder. Doctor; Patricia Plautz.Kate; Randall McBain-Mr. Keller; Deb Adaschek-Martha; Pete Zeitlow.Percy; Denise LueckAunt Ev; Craig Kitzerow. James; Carl Weischeim. Anagonos; Donna Dahlke. Viney; Shirley Persons, Diane Diamond, and Kathie SJnkus. the blind girls; arid David Beadell and David Karnitz. offstage voices. "The Miracle Worker" was under the direction of Dan Schmal.
She finally succeeds in orienting Helen to a system of feeling out hand signals. Her efforts culminate at the play's end with Helen's fIrSt Intelligible utterance, "wawa," at the recognition of water. Remarkable staging complemented the drama.

Do You Victimize Christ? by JeDiae TempllD Paul Harvey, the famous radio news commentator, related a startling story he'd read once in a respected.. --- 1IIItionIII-ma:~Ub1!8h~rlst' around Christmas·time: The' story was Of a'departnient store." guard who found ,II"mamasieep" in the budget basement section of the store after hours. Trampled by the stam~ding hordes of holiday shoppers, he had sought shelter by crawling under one of the e<iunters. The man looked to be in his early thirties with long shaggy hair, unkempt beard, and tattered clothing. Upon closer inspection, the startled guard saw that the man had nail wounds in his hands. The story was not intended as a joke but as an effective commentary on what has become true of ChrIstmas in the world today. ChrIst is no longer the cause of celebration on ChrIstmas, but the victim of ChrIstmas. Just how Is ChrIst victimized

Learn to Witness Do you have trouble sharing your faith with your family, whether they are Lutheran or not? How often do you talk about God and Jesus and what all that "stuff" means? WhY Is it easier to witness to a stranger? Is it because you really don't care what that person thinks of you, because chances are you'll never see that person again? These are only a few of the questions that will be discussed at the Lutheran Collegians Evangelism Seminar during December 27-30. The Seminar will be held at the Seminary in Mequon, Wisconsin. Prof. Joel Gerlach will serve as coerdinator. Pastors Richard
Stadler, Kurt Koeplin and Gary Schroeder' will be the speakers. The theme Is: "I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ." The various problems that make sharing our faith so difficult will be discussed in each of the three categories: family, peers, and strangers. A fee of $15.00 Is to be paid upon arrival on Dec. 27. This will include three nights lodging, all meals and various materials. Due to space limitations, only 70 applicants will be accepted. All applications must be returned to the Lutheran Collegians' Mission Committee, by Dec. 10. For further information, contact Diane Diamond-Box 588.

What do you expect to gain out of life? Do you spend your Sunday afternoons dreaming of fancy cars, plush surroundings, and barrels of money stowed away at your disposal? Then I'd say you are an ideallst! Your goals are set at the other side of the rainbow. You may spend your whole life working toward that pot of gold, only to realize one day that the best years of your brief stay on earth have all but gone down the drain. Your dreams were too high for any man to conceive. There must be an empty feeling present when a man thinks back to the foollsh dreams which hid his chances for fulfilling a life of peace of mind and cherished momenta of personal happiness. An escape from reality is sometimes good to refresh your ambitions, but to live in a dream world is certain doom for you and all those around you. Your goals must be discovered, sorted, and put into action, now! TIme is your asset. Understanding why you chose one road while discarding the other is the key to understanding yourself. Hopefully, all of us attending this institution have a goal in mind and are striving toward it. Working for the Lord is definitely a purpose set forth by God Himself and so isn't too high of a dream. Keep working toward your goal!

Join us in Song The evening of December 16 is the date set for the Christmas caroling to be done by the Marluts and the Aeolians. These are the male and female singing groups on campus that will be going to various places in town. They will sing many of the traditional Christmas Carols to young and old alike. After finishing caroling, the members of both groups will meet on campus for a session of refreshments and entertainment.

They don't mind singing the carols and reading Luke chapter two, as long as that's as far as things go. If they thought of Him as more than a Christmas tradition, they'd be in church more often than on Christmas and Easter! Thirdly, .even the OIristian victimizes Christ unknowingly. There is the dorm room or the home to be decorated, cookies to be baked, cards to be sent out, gifts to be wrapped, and then... oh, yeah, it's Christ's' birthday. (Abnost forgot!) Althoughit is definitely a part of Christian liberty to partake of all the Christmas traditions (including Santa Claus), it Is very easy to get so caught up in everything meant to celelrate Christ's birth that one forgets christ. When one goes through all the outward motions and traditions to celebrate Christmas, but forgets Him, then He has become the Christmas victim. This year one ought make it a point not to get so hung up on all the traditions that one loses sight of the very One whose day is celebrated! While one is shopping downtown at the last minute, as usual, it might be well to stop right in the middle of everything and thank Jesus for coming to earth. While opening one's presents Christmas Eve or Day, thank God for IDs Greatest Gift to mankind. In fact, one should thank God every day of the year for sending Jesus down to earth. to be our Redeemer and avoid the chance of relegating thoughts 01 IDs birth solely to Christmastime.

congregations. After leaving campus the afternoon of November 9, the choir gave their fU"stconcert at St. Peter's Lutheran Church, Man ticello, Minnesota. Members of the congregation provided them with supper and overnight lodging. Saturday morning the choir left for the Cities. Here they toured the state capital in St. Paul. The majesty of the capitol dome inspired the choir to sing "A Mighty Fortress is Our God." In the same room they saw a large picture entitled "The Battle of New Ulm." Other interesting places visited were a large cathedral in St. Paul and the Minneapolis InstUu te of Art. The choir members were also able to shop for a few hours at the Nicollet Mall. They also saw the conservatory and zooat Como Park before traveling to Zion Lutheran Church at Osceola, Wisconsin, for an evening service. Here they also stayed with congregation members. Early Sunday morning the choir left for Bloomington,

All of Reger's qualities were totally evident as Prof. Anderson skillfully interpreted the music. The recital organ with four chorale preludes, Opus 67. The different moods that Reger could give music were shown in "On Earth Has Dawned This Day of Days; Jesus, Lead Thous On; Deal Thou with Me in Mercy, Lord; and I will Sing My Maker's Praises." When the chorale preludes were completed three selections from "Organ Mass," Opus 59, were performed: "Kyrie eleison, Gloria in excelsis, and Bendictus." These again showed the way in which Max Reger put his heart in his music. After a short intermission, Prof. Anderson performed "Introduction, Theme' with

The song service consisted of 18 .sacred selections and was divided into three parts. The first spoke of praising God especially for sending the Savior, the second of Christ's death and resurrection, and the third spoke of trusting in the Lord. The choir began each service by singing "A Mighty Fortress." Other selections included "Praise to the Lord, the Almighty" and "On God and Not on Human Trust."

Music Flows from Prof. Anderson's Touch Very few DMLC students have the works of Max Reger in their repertoire of organ music. But Prof. Ames Anderson has a rather complete selection of Reger's works as evidenced in the recital Prof. Anderson gave on Sunday, November 18, lU73, the year marking the centennial of Max Reger's birth. With the tonal resources of the Memortal Organ at his fingertips, Prof. Anderson was able to bring out the full maj esty and mystery of the composer's music. Reger is considered one of the foremost composers of church and chamber music and ranks after the three big composers of Germany: Bach, Betthoven, and Brahms. He was an expert of counterpoint and used complex expression in harmony, rhythm, and form.

Variations, and Fugue," Opus 73. This work is often considered "the most signigicant and beautiful organ composition of this century," as sta ted by Dr. Heinrich Fleischer. After a five part introduction, the them~ was presented and thirteen variations were performed. They varied from a quiet pastorale to a reedy, loud, appassionate allegro. The three part fugue closed the piece. Prof. Anderson akillfully and capably brought out the chaotic outbursts and the quiet delicacy of Reger's work. Reger composed from the heart and Prof. Anderson played with heart in a recital that again proves that the organ is one of God's mightiest instruments on the temporal earth:

I was in Milwaukee a couple of weekends ago and I met my friend Beemer. He's mellowed a bit since his days here at DMLC, but he still looks pretty much the same- frizzy long brown hair, tinted wire rims, and an Abe Uncoln beard that looks like It was drawn in with a pencil. He's thinner than he was when he was up here because he follows this ma~rganic diet now. He was always doing strange things like that Iremember when Ifirst met Beemer. Iwas eating lunch In the cafeteria one day, and John Doe called to me from his table, "Hey, waiter, there's a fly In my soup! " To which Iwittily replied, "There can't be-weused them all in the rasln bread this morning!" Then Iheard someone scream, "NO!" Iturned, and there was Beemer, holding half a piece of raisin bread The other half was in his mouth. He was abaklng and his face was turning white. It took me fifteen minutes to convince him that the raisins were actually pure, ocganically dried grapes, and he had nothing to worry about. Beemer was different, to say the least If anyone would have called him by his real name, he would have died. It was Bernard. He always thought people regarded him as a native of L.A., or New York, or at least Chicago. He was from Kenosha. That isn't to say that he didn't have any redeeming qualities; after all, he'd seen every Charlie Chan movie and read every Mickey Spillaine book; and he could play "Smoke on the Water" on his Bender guitar and amp - in seven different keys. "A man's got to be versatile in this business," he told me once. I remember when he learned all about acupuncture from a chart in Rolling Stone, and then tried to cure Harvey's sore throat by sticking sewing needles in Harvey's arm. Beemer sat there for at least half an hour, twirling those needles and saying "yinyangyinyangyingyang" to himself, while Harvey lay there, grimacing and turning redder and redder. All Harvey got out of it was a sore arm with red spots on it; all the guys said he was a junkie and all the girls believed it and Harvey couldn't get a date foc at least three weeks, until the red spots went away. He almost kicked in Beemer's amp, he was so mad. Beemer later confided in me, "The man's got no faith; I know it works - I tried it on myself." I was afraid to ask what for. Beemer was the kind of guy who'd talk to you about children starving in Bangladesh and make you feel so .bad that you'd vow never to eat again; and then in the cafeteria he'd stick two salad bowls together with peanut butter and stuff a muffin inhis glass to give the dishroom a hard time, and he'd think that a fine joke It was: He could quote Hermann Hesse all over the place, but if you mentioned Edgar Allan Poe, he'd say, "Who?" Iasked him once who his favorite author was. 'Oh, wow, it's gOlla be Hemingway." "Why's that?" "Ob, man, he tells It like It is, you know? He really tells It like It is." "But doesn't his realism get terribly depressing? I mean, who wants to read about death and rain and mud all the time?" "Well, man, some things you just have to overlook."
Christmas is in the air as the classes of Dr. Martin Luther College began their annual decorating of the campus. All across the campus the decorations sprang up showing the school's festive mood. Since students are not on campus over the holidays the Christmas spirit enters the hearts of all concerned rather early in the season. The decorations assigned to the various classes were put up by December 5. Again this year as in the past the seniors decorated the north entrance and hallway of the Academic Center. The junior class helped the student body in their celebration of the yuletide by their decorating the Chapelauditorium. The south entrance and hallway of the Academic Center were decorated by the sophomore class. The frosh received the outside areas for decorations. They decorated the front of the library, the light poles and practice hall. Various other decorations also were seen on campus. The SU Board decorated the Student Union, the music center was
decorated by the choirs, and many students added Christmas decorations to their own rooms to bring a little "warmth and cheer" to the dorms.
And did you notice, the majority of the Christmas decorations were in keeping with the President's policy of "conserving energy!"
DMLC Art Club Generates Creativity Santa and his elves? That's what you might have' thought if you had peered through the windows of the art room after Chapel lately. Actually, that group of busy people wasn't Santa and his elves; it was some of our own DMLC students, members of the Art Club, making Christmas cards. The twenty members of Art Club under the direction of their president, Nancy Nicol, are now selling their Christmas cards beneath the Lancer in the student union. So join in on the Christmas spirit and buy a few to send to your friends. Besides making Christmas cards this year, the Art Club has numerous other plans for the beginning of next year. These include a children's art fair ar~
a student's art fair. For the children's art fair, they will send out letters to various WELS grade schools asking them to send in the art of some of their students. This art will tlien be displayed in the lilrary, judged by the Art Club, and awarded prizes given out by the club. The student's art fair is very much the same except that the art is from students of DMLC. The Art Club also hopes to have' a number of guest speakers, generally members of the student body, speak on some special talent of theirs in the area of art, such as macrame or decoupage. As you can see, Art Club has a busy year ahead of it, and the members will probably end up busier than Santa and his elves.

Lancerettes Finish Successful Season Talent has simply exploded from this year's women's volleyball team. The Lancerettes began the season by defeating Southwest State and have been going full speed ever since. Eighteen players are on the squad this year. They are under the watchful eye of new coach, Miss Lynette Vlasak, who has taken over from Miss Post, the latter coaching basketball and softball later in the year. Against Southwest State, Gloria Lohmiller, Kathy Deines, June Frank, and Rachel lnninger made outstanding contributions. Three games were won without much difficulty. The next games, played against Gustavus at St. Peter, presented more competition. The team had difficulty playing the ball off the low ceiling and keeping the ball in bounds, but they came through victorious. The next four matches seemed like no competition with opponents racking up no more than ten points against the Lancerettes in anyone game. These matches were played against Winona, St. Olaf, Carleton, and Augsburg respectively. Coach Vlasak termed the games against Winona as the "best three games of the season" at that time. Lohmiller, Deines, Inninger, and Frank continued to play excellently, while Judy Wade also contributed her share. Wade and Frank played especially well in all three games against Augsburg College on October ·16. On October 23, the Lancerettes were victorious over Mankato State, taking the best three of five and making a
strong finish. Two days later, fans and team alike were even more elated as they defeated the big University of Minnesota in Minneapolis. On October 29, St. Cloud handed the DMLC Lancerettes their first and only loss of regular season play - malting their record 8-1. Lancerettes rebounded from this loss by defeating Mankato State for the second time in the season. Serves by Kathy Deines and spiking by Gloria Lohmiller and Judy Wade brought off the victory. Lancerettes won the next three matches in a row, playing against Gustavus, Southwest State, and Concordia. Early on November 16, the Lancerettes traveled to Macalester Field House at Macalester College in st. Paul to participate in the women's state volleyball tournament. Top ceded teams, in order of rank, were Dr. Martin Luther College, University of Minn., St. Cloud, and Mankato State. The University, the defending champion, lost out this year as st. Cloud became this year's champions. Lancerettes gave DMLCsomething to be proud of as they came in fourth out of twenty-three schools in the state contests. The University came in second, while Winona followed in third. Women's volleyball "B" team should net be overlooked. for their efforts this season. Joyce Lohmiller, Deb Hewitt, Cindy Van Driessche, Pat Jahns, and Joann Schwartz all made considerable contributions. They ended their season with a 12-1record, comparable to "A" team's 12-1 season.

The Outlook is Good for '73-'74 Lancer Team With our Lancer basketball team just embarking on another cage campaign, we got the thoughts and comments of its coach, Gary Dallmann, about the upcoming season. Last season was a very successful one for Luther. The attitude of any team is an essential ingredient in its quest for victory. We asked the coach how he judged the mental attitude of the team to be at this time. Coach Dallmann felt that the attitude could be improved as evidenced in the alumni game, but that everyone is trying very hard and putting out a good effort. The Lancer team lost some good rebounding and scoring in the graduation of some seniors trom last year's team, particularly in the person of Paul Hartwig. We wanted to know if this gap would be filled by any members of the '73'74 team. Four individuals, (who could take up the slack,) were cited Men's Basketball Schedule 1'73-74

by Dallmann. Jack Fritzler should be able to help out on the boards, and Jim Sievert should do a better job this season. He expressed pleasure with the job which Greg Thiesfeldt has done for the team. John Metzger was also picked out to help with the rebounding needed. Here's what Coach Dallmann determined to be the advantages and disadvantages of the DMLC Lancers ·of 1973-74. As a plus, coach liked the balanced team With no one extremely outstanding individual player. Rather, there are five or six players who are capable of scoring and for this reason the scoring should be very evenly distributed. This was evident from the alumni game. Another feature of the team which :shouldcontribute to its success is that there are a number of really good shooters who should be capable of scoring from both Inside and outside. On the other side of the
ledger, the greatest handicap is the lack of quickness. To be sure, there are members of the team who are quick; however, the overall team speed would be rated as below average. As far as the possible record for the season is concerned,· Coach Dallmann had this remark, "We expect to win more than we lose." . Another fme season seems to loom ahead .. Hopefully, the entire student body will be out in force for each game to share In this success. We wish Coach Dallmann and his players a very successful year. _en's'I!a· ...etbanSclleclule 1973·74 ~ Jan. 10 St. olli, A1:30 Jan. 15 U. 01 Minnesota H 1:00 Jan. 17 Mankato H 7:00 Jan. 29 Mankato A 7:00 Feb. 1 St. Cloud A 7:00 Feb. 9 Winona H·l:00 Feb. 12 Southwest St. COlA 1:()( Feb. 14 Gustavus H 7:00

Varsity Rallies Forces Over Graduates The DMLCLancers continued their domination of the annual alumni game again this season. On Saturday evening, Nov. 17, in the LMU gymnasium the Lancers easily defeated the alumni by a score of 68-54. The alumni have yet to win a game against the college's team. The alumni scored the first basket of the game and led 2-0 before the tenacious defense of the varsity harassed the alumni into errors and long shots. Luther then pulled ahead to a comfortable 13-3 lead with a little over six minutes gone in the game. Leading scorers for the losers
were Paul HartwIg with 19 points and Kurt Schmidt with 14. For the victorious Lancers, Greg HoffmalUlscored 14points and Paul Schultz added another 10. Jack Fritzler and Greg ThIesfeldt led the rebounding with 14 and 12 points respectively. The alumni had a very good representation this season. The fOllowingmen returned to sult up for action against the varsity: Ed Nolte, Dale Markgraf, Jack GronboIz, Bruce Heckman, Bob Kuehn, Terry Vasold, Hartley Dus, Dave Ross, Randy Westphal, Fred Melnel, Kurt Schmidt, Jim Bauer, and Paul. Hartwig.

Do people up here on the hill at DMLCcare about anything but, themselves? Onewouldbe very apt to think not If he were to hear us ta1ldngabout the current energy shortage. One would think that we consider it an inconvenience that President Nixon brought upon only us so that we can't go home on weekends, etc. Here's just a few examples of conversation that can be heard anytime there is a few students talking about something other than other students or grades and the like. "Drive 50miles per hour, me? It will take me almost 20 hours just to get home to Michigan then! Nixon must be crazy If he thinks that I am going to drive 50." Or, "This stupid , energy shortage is going to freeze us out of class" (the girl was wearing a very short skirt). And there's always the poor soul who tries to get her friend who has a car to make a special trip downtown so that she won't have to get cold (when It's 60 degrees out?). There are a myriad of other examples of needless waste all around also. Electric curlers. Electric hair brushes for both men and women. Electric blankets. T.V.'s in the rooms deplte all rules to the contrary. Leavingstereos on all night so that one can fall to sleep to the music. Leavingthe light on all morning because one is too lazy to turn If off on the way out the door to get to class. The Bible says we are not to be of the world. But that does not mean that we are to Ignore the world and Its problems. As long as we are living in this world, we are expected to be examples to the world also. U we are judged as not caring about the welfare of our neighbor in things like conserving energy, how will we ever get our true witness to have any valldlty in their eyes as well?

Advanced Study Program Offered Dr. Martin Luther College is offering an "Advanced Study Program in the Christian MinIstry" for men and women of the Church to enlarge their service to the Lord and better equip themselves to meet the challenges of our changing times.
BIRTHS Chad Ronald Heling, on July 22, 1972,to Mr. and Mrs. Ronald Heling (Leah Weber '67); first child. Naomi Susan, on July 7, 1973,to Mr. and Mrs. David Brohn '63 (Celia Geiger '66); fourth child. Amy Lin, on August 23, 1973,to Mr. and Mrs. Paul Kaiser (both '72); first child. Laura Christine, on June 19, 1972, to Mr. and Mrs. Gary Becker '65 (Nancy Tripp); third child. Nathan Thomas, on September 30, 1972, to Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Koepsell '68 (Jean Hinnethal '67); second child. Rachel, on November 13, 1972, to Mr. and Mrs. James ScIunidt '68 (Alisa Kelm '72). Heidi, on April 4, 1973, to Mr. and Mrs. Ronald Arndt (Judy Tessmer '67).
This program has been designed for such individuals who have completed an approved program of religious education. Such persons are graduates of Dr. Martin Luther College, graduates of Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary, and such others who have completed a baccalaureate program of education and have also earned synodical certification. A minimum of eighteen semester hours of acceptable academic credit must be earned to complete the advanced study program. So that the student may pursue his interests in a manner that exposes him to as broad an experience as is possible, he will be asked to do his specialized study in three broad areas of course offerings. These areas are: 1) Studies in the Scriptures, 2) Studies in Religious Thought and LIfe, and 3) Studies in Communicating the Gospel. since this program focuses on the Christian ministry, a minimum of six semester hours of credit should be earned in each of the other two areas of study with freedom of election for the remaining six semester hours of credit. It is hoped that the individual may be best served in this manner in his service to the Church.
Correction r--------------------~ We would llke to correct an error which has been called to our attention In the Nov. 9, 1973 issue. In the article regarding a presentation given by two Swedish pastors the following statement
was made: "The Lutheran Church in Sweden is the official state church and has been since ChrIstianity came to the country nearly 1,000years ago." This should be corrected to read-The Lutheran Church in Sweden is the official state church. Lutheranism was first introduced into Swedenby the great Swedish reformer, Olavas Petri about 1520.
For the beginning, the "Advanced Study Program in the Christian MinIstry" will run concurrently with the regular summer session of Dr. Martin Luther College. It will be offered in two short terms over a space of two and one-half weeks per term. Students may enroll in one or both terms.
c. c. continued from page 1 the winter season. The zone Is labeled No Parking, but can be used for a brief unloading or loading. The Mission Committee, another one of our very important committees, comes to the Council to ask for approval on their 'mission projects and their speakers. Right now the Mission Committee is trying to line up an ELS missionary speaker from Peru for the month of January. The Council Is always there to give aid to organizations, If It Is possible, and is willing to . discuss matters which are Irought to its attention by the class representatives. It is important for you to remember that Council is there to serve you. If you have any problems or questions talk to ,your class representatives or come to one of the meetings and Iring the matter to their attention. You are always welcome. One last thing! Don't forget that the Councilhas office hours on third floor Old MaIn from 1:00-4:30, Monday through FrIday. Someone Is always there ready to help you. Do stop in and visit!

He won't admit it, but I know for a fact that when Professor Boehlke was the Don Juan of the Luther campus, his favorite line with the girls was "Your eyes are a pair of Umpid pools." Actually, there is no fuel shortage. It's just a plot by the oil magnates to discredit the gOYerIUl\entand take over. Frankly, they're welcome to it. I'd like to see them sell Red China on the "Spirit of '76"; I'd like to see them try to reach a poverty-stricken Appalachian coal miner by promising him a tiger In his tank; I'd like to see JoImny.Cash address the Arabi!and Iaraella: "Let's awl hep bah·dialln' down ar aggresions."
In the court of Czar Nkhoiaa U many strange things happened. One of them follows: The reprehensible Rasputln, always eager to try a new trick or game, convinced the courtiers of the Czar they could have anything they wanted, thanks to hismagic, as long as they Invoked the name of the Czar when they wished for what they wanted. So when everyone was asaembled In the court one day, they tried wishing, using the Czar's name In all their wishes. But, alas, nothing happened. Said Rasputln, "There Is someone In here who does not believe: that is why our wishes do not work!" So he barred rrom the court one person at a time, to see who the unbeliever was. They tried so many wishes, invoking the name of the Czar: and they all left the room, one at a time. But none of the wishes came true. Which, I suppose, only goes to prove: When you wish upon the Czar, makes no difference whom you bar. On Watergate: It weuld seem that everyone is very careful these days about the things he says. No one wants to get the blame for anything, and they will risk anything not to get blamed. Nixon's men at the hearings seem to exemplify 'this: It doesn't bother them so much that they lost their jobs, or that the fabric of the govern. ment is falllng apart,-they're just concerned with their reputations. All of these men are risking everythlng they have to make sure, so very sure, that they are not found at fault, but that someone else is Which, I suppose, only goes to prove: It matters not if you win o~ lose, but where you lay the blame. So tune In next month, Kiddies, to see if the Crisco Kid will . actually hurl balls of polyunsaturated pure vegetable oil at the hi\f1!91!S Bl!Weu:e.lI11dfix his clock; find out if Captain Ignite will scorch his "Botany 500" suit whUe quickly changing Identities; examine carl!fully the clues which disclose the true identity of the .Purple Pimpernel; and judge for youraeif whether or not this writer should be committed for writing such tripe.

Cheerleaders : Never a Dull Moment Oleerleaders at DMLC are selected In the fail of the year, just prior to the basketball season. This squad will also cheer for the footbail season the foilowing year. Six girls are chosen on the basis of pep, co-ordination, appearance, enthusiasm, and ability. All candidates are required to do a cheer, five jumps, and a series of stunts (of which only a cartwheel is mandatory.) Judging for the competition is done by the entire student body. This past November a squad of three freshman and three sophomore girls was selected to create spirit and enthusiasm for the 1973-74 basketball season. Only two of the girls are returnees from last year's squad: Kris Jeske, from

round trip • with a victory sandwiched In between! The long trek to Watertown, Wisconsin, proved to be another exciting adventure. SInce the girls would not find one car large enough to accomodate all six girls and a driver, the squad traveled in two different .cars. Unfortunately, one of the cars ran Into mechanical difficulty on the way, and literally broke down one and a half hours away from their destination. Thanks to Lois Luedtke's parents, the driver and three cheerleaders were not left stranded. They finally arrived at Northwestern . College nearly one. hour_after .the game-was completed. To complicate matters, there was the question of how these four would get back to DMLC. With a litUe bi t of squeezing in the team's cars, the other car of cheerleaders, and one spectator's car, five of the girls made it safely back Sunday night, because of bad road conditions, the sixth arrived Monday, after having spent the night with her carfull at a Baraboo, Wisconsin, hotel. After these unfortunate ex. periences with transportation, Coach Dallmannhas decided to charter a bus for players and cheerleaders for every away game. This will be much safer, but the girls will probably miss all of the excitement to which they are now accustomed!

They are joined by Sue Weyer, a sophomore from Manitowoc, Wisconsin; Julie Hartwig of Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin; Lois Luedtke, J effer son, Wisconsin; and, Vicki Long from Lake Villa, llilnois. The girls have taken on a new look this year. They have purchased new maroon sweaters, accented by grey and white stripes down the sleeves. A tri-colored monogram (maroon, grey, and white) compliments the front of the sweater. Already, there have been several memorable experiences for the squad. The first game of the season found only five of the six present, attired In two different styles of sewaters. (their new sweaters had not yet arrived.) The season's second contest, found all six girls cheering, five wearing sweaters and one In the old, vested unttorm.; The first two road trips will never be forgotten. Travellng to Concordia, St. Paul, the cheerleaders' car, driven by John Barenz, ran Into a slight blizard. This resulted In a twohour delay on the freeway, just in getting from the school Itself to the outskirts of the city. The net result was a chilly 12-hour

night in the dorm, or I'm dating someone not of my faith. The afternoons provided the seminar goers with opportunities to share their faith. Friday afternoon saw them at three large shopping centers In the Milwaukee area sharing their faith with those resting on their shopping trips. On Saturday afternoon they participated in a canvaswitness program in the area of Salem Lutheran Church on the extreme eastern side of Milwaukee. Every door they knocked a t Introduced them to people with strikingly different views of life. They met Christians of other denominations, students of transcendental meditation, complete skeptics, and those too busy with wordly pursuits to have time for anything else. Each provided a different challenge as they tried to apply the Gospel to these people's
Individual lives. Although the primary purpose was to witness to others, many felt that they gained more than they gave. The evenings provided time for sharing experiences, song fests, recreation, and continuing the discussions of the day. The aemlnar closed Sunday noon with a communion service held In the W.L.s. chapel. Prof. Joel Gerlach of W.L.S. served as co-ordinator for the seminar. Guest speakers were Rev. Schroder from St. PhlUp, Milwaukee; Rev. Stadler from Rock of Ages, Nashville, Tenn.; Rev. Kirshke from Good Shepherd, Cedar Rapids, Iowa; Rev. Koeplln from Atonement, Milwaukee; and Mr. Matzke from Wisconsin Lutheran Child and Family Service, Milwaukee. The seminar was planned and sponsored by Lutheran Collegians with a grant from AAL.

'73 Action Has Up-Downs
John Metzger, no. 24, jumps high for a tip-off in the
DMLC-Concordia game. f Twas the Night Be ore ...
(with apologies to Clement Clarke Moore) Twas the night before vacation and all through the dorm, f I Every student was up, looking lost an d or om. West Civ.hada test, and Sievert's plans were duePapers lay untyped-there was TOOmuch to do!! Theprofs were nestled all snug Intheir beds Whilevisions of pop quizzes danced Intheir heads. Androomie Inher curlers and lin my tights f st II Ight Had just popped the poPCOk thm to ea on ah ncl tt' Whenout on the sundec ere arose suc ha th a att er I sprang from my desk to see w twas e rna er. Awayto the windowI flew like a flashTore open the curtains and bashed out the glass! ThP streetlight that shone on the new-fallen snow, Gave a lustre vI midday to objects below. When what to my wondering eyes should appear But a tiny green Opelwith eight profs to the rear. Witha tall handsome driver so nifty and keenI knew in a moment It must be the Dean! ! More rapid than snowplows his helpers they came, Andhe whistled and shouted, and called them by name: "Now Kuster! Now Hartwig! Now Heclanann and Salty! On Paulsen! On Raddatz! On Backer and Boehlke! Tothe top of the deck, to the top ofthe wall, Now dash away, dash away, dash away all!" So up to the sundeck the profs how they flew, With the car full of papers - an d good 0Ie Dean, t 00. Andthen in a twinkling I heard on the roof The prancing and dancing of each big flatfoot. As I drew in my head and was turning around Down the incinerator Dean came with a bound! He was dressed all in fur from his head to his foot Andhis clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot. Abundle of papers he'd flung onbls back Andhe looked like a peddler just opening bIs pack.. HIs eyes, how they twinkled; his teeth straight and white, There could be no doubt: he used Ultrabright l HIs drolllitUe mouth was drawn up like a bow Andthe beard on his chin showed five o'clock shadow. The butt ofa cigar he held tight Inhis teeth Andthe smoke, it encircled his head like a wreath. Hehad a broad face and a little round belly That shook when he laughed like a bowlfull of jelly. H ch bb d I -a right jolly dean e was u y an p mnp be ' AndI laughed when I sawhim,trylng notto seen. Awinkof his eye and a twist of his head Soongave me to know I'd best goto bed. He spoke not a wordbut went straight to his work, Typing papers and lessons plans, then tumed with a jerk; And laying his finger aside of his nose, Andgiving a nod, up the incinerator he rose. He sprang to his Opel,to his team cracked the whip, Andaway they all flew for another short trip. But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out ofslght: "NEXT TIME GET YOURHOMEWORKDONE EARLY SOI CAN GET SOME SLEEP AT NIGHT!" (edltor's note: Printed upon student request.)
DMLCvs. Faith Saturday, Dec. I, the Dr. Martin Luther College Lancers traveled to Ankeny, Iowa, to play the Faith College team in varsity and junior varsity games. Both teams from DMLC came out victorious. The varsity won by a score of 84- 55; the junior varsity, by a 76 - 42 score. Both games were dominated by the Lancer teams. They played good defense and controlled the backboards to help them win going away. For instance, in the varsity game they had a 61 - 24 rebounding edge. Leading scorers in the varsity game were Jack Fritzler with 23 points, John Metzger with 12, and Greg Thiesfeldt with 10. lndividual scoring leader in . the junior varsity game was Mike Mathwig with 15 points. John Metzger and Jeff Hoffmann added 14 points each. ThDeMLCLance sCfOUacecOdrdthlae'" V8r' next U opponent, Concordia College of St. P a uI,on Tuesday, De c. 4 a t St. Paul. Once again the Lancers proved to be a good team away from home by returning with a 60- 54win to their credit. In this game the Lancers showed great determination. They trailed at one point by a score of 39 - 27, but then the defense stiffened. They fought back and passed the home team to claim the victory. Luther was eutrebounned 46 to 33. DMLCvs. Northwestern On Dec. 7, 1973, the DMLC Lancers journeyed to Watertown, Wisconsin to engage the Northwestern College team in combat on the court. This time the visitors went down to defeat, 79 - 70. It was a very frustrating game for Luther. Their shooting
was terribly cold In the first half, and they trailed by scores of 17- 1 and 61- 32. After that, with about 12minutes to play In the game, the team from New Ulm got hot and cut the margin to a mere 4 points. The -score stood at 71 -67 In favor of Northwestern when Luther ialtered and finally lost by the score of 79 - 70. Leading scorers for Luther were Greg Thiesfeldt with 20 points, Jack Fritzler with 17, and John Metzger with 14. nMLC vs, Maraoatha The followingevening, Dec. 8, 1973,Dr. Martin Luther College opposed the loser of the other game from the previous evening, Maranatha of Watertown, Wisconsin .. The Lancers avenged their loss on the same court by beating Maranatha convincingly 91- 72. It was a tight game for most of the contest. At half the score was tied 36 - 36. With ten minutes left on the clock, the· Lancers finally started to pull away from their opponents. In the remaining time Luther continued to increase the margin between themselves and Maranatha. Probably the key reason for the win was the complete domination of the rebounding by DMLC. At the close of the contest they had a 84 _ 29 advantage on the boards. There was balanced scoring by New Ulm's varsity as evidenced by the three leading scorers. Greg Thiesfeldt and John Metzger once again led the way with 19 points. Jack Fritzler was right on their heels with 18 points. DMLC VI. Weslmar The DMLC Lancers returned home on Dec. 11, 1973 for a game against Westmar College from Iowa. Playing before the home fans didn't help Luther as they went down 79 - 84 to the visitors from the south. This was a close game up to the half. The Lancers trailed at that stage by only three points. Itwas 34-31. Then in the second half Westmar pulled away. DMLC VB, St. Paul Bible

Saturday, Dec. 15, 1973,both the varsity and junior varsity of DMLC confronted the teams from St. Paul Bible College in action In the LMU gymnasium at New Ulm. The Lancer eagers came out the victors In both contests that evening. Tlie varsity trimmed their opponents 65 - 48, and the Junior varsity cut down their foes 71 36'Offenslve standouts for the varsity were Greg Thiesfeldt with 18POintsand Jack Fritzler
with 15. The JV's were led by Mike Mathwig who pmnped in 18 tallies and Carl Hochmuth added 12. DMLCvs. Pillsbury The DMLCLancers wound up their pre-Chrlstmas basketball games against Pillsbury ·Collegeon Tuesday, Dec. 18, at Owatonna, MInnesota. The JV's went home to vacation with a victory 61 - 46, but the varsity closed on a sour note, losing 82-
68. In the varsity game the New Ulm team was leading by 56- 53 midway through the second half when everything fell apart. The game had a great deal of fouls called and especially In the final minutes Pillsbury took advantage of these to take the lead and win the game from DMLC.
Women Cagers Set fT· ff or IP-O Women's basketball Is finally breaking Into the DMLC sports picture. As usual, there was much enthusiasm for the sport as many women tried out for the team this year. Twenty players were chosen for the 1974squad, and all are eager to play the first game at SI. Olaf on January 12. This year's team will have the added excitement of a B squad. This will be the first time that the Lanceretteshave had both A and B squads, which will give more players a chance to play and help them to gain needed experience. This year the spectators will be offered the opportunity to watch three B games as well as eleven A garnes. And of course, we hope to see our Lancerettes off to the State Tournaments at Mankato In February. Ai, of this time, no definite split has been made by CoachSue Post, but she hopes to divide the squads soon. She feels it very unlikely that any of the new freshmen players will be on the A team. There is a good reason for high hopes concerning this season's team. There are six experienced seniors returning, along with two veteran juniors and six sophomores. The team will miss the performance of Gayle Gilmore this year before her graduation last year, she was able to add much to the overall team effort throughout the many games that she participated In. The group of returning veterans should add much strength and depth to the team as a whole. With good team spirit and great support from the fans, the Lancerettes are expected to go far. So get out there, fans, and cheer them on to victory!

were also g~udy Wade had 12 and Kathy D. 13. One reason for the easy victory over Mankato, may have been due to the fact that tba~,game was their first game of the season. This idea is further strengthened by the fact that Mankato defeated DMLC 41-34 only two weeks later. Coach Post also sighted poor shooting percentage and a lack of ballpassing as reasons for the loss. The next game was played at Concordia, St. Paul. It was also a loss, (35-33) making the second in a row. The Lancerettes did not seem to be up to par on offense, bitting only 7 of 20 free-tbrows. Luther's next game was against Southwest State. Due to a regrettable first half, the Lancerettes were again robbed of victory by a score of 43-37. DMLC scored only 7 points in the first half, but played well in the second half bitting for 15 points in each of the last two quarters.

What thought comes to your mind when you hear the words "Nobel Conference"? A big meeting of diplomats? A collection of executives? A dlstlngulsbed panel of educated ~ft"ers? The las. t answer most .......... aptly describes the Nobel Conference held at Gustavus AdolphUSCollege in St. Peter, Minnesota annually as an ongoing memorial to Alfred Nobel.

- 'lbIs year, as In the past, the DMLC ChIldren's Theater will present a play. CInderella has been chosen for its production. Last year's students will remember that the play was Allce InWonderland. For those who weren't here, or who aren't acquainted with Children's Theater, a brief explanation may be necessary. The work is mainly for children. Since they are a very impressionable audience, a great deal of time and bard work must be put Into the productions. Last the audience consisted of st. Paul's Lutheran Grade School pupils together with a number of otber grade school pupils. The play cast went on tour to St. Croix. Thts year, the Children's
Theater group presented a Christmas program for the mentally handicapped at the Day Care Center In New Ulm. It consisted of a puppet show, a small play, Christmas carols, and a story. Itwas a memorable experience for all Involved. At its last meeting, the group chose Cinderella as the spring play to be presented the first week In May. If one doesn't make the play cast, his talents can be used In other areas of the production. Since members of the cast soon will be teaching children, this is a good chance to become acquainted with things children like, as well as with the children themselves. The rewards are many and great. ~

The Chase or: "Somebody Strop That Man!" Onceupon a morning dreary, as I pondered, weak and bleary, LookingIn the bathroom mirror at my visage bearded o'er; WhileI nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping As of someone gently rapping, rapping at the bathroom door. " 'TIs some foolish frosh," I muttered, ''tapping at the bathroom dorr Only this, and nothing more." Then my thoughts went quickly racing and my mind with speed went pacing To the razor I'd forgotten back there In my half-<:Iosed drawer, "How am I to shave without It?" - phrase for phrase the mirror mouthed It; "How am I to shave without It?" shouted mOckinglythe door; So I ope'd the door expecting to find freshman at the door Only freshman, nothing more. S1ocked, I found my razor standing, staring at me, ev1y glaring Witha hideous vicious maUce which I'd never seen before: Beckoned I with crooked finger as my razor there did Unger Uke some frightful coldharbinger, bringer of woe to my door; "Come and shave me, 0 my razor, standing at the bathroom door, Ere the morning soon be o're." "Nay," saith he, "I'll never do It!" and before I chanced to view It Offhe scuttled, swiftly dashing out the fire exit door; , SwIft Iwas to hard pursue him hoping Icould once more woo him, Wondering what I should do to him If I should so take him o'er: Neither would I strop nor stone him, only tongue-lash him till sore Only this, and nothing more. So we chased through brush and nettle and I chanced to test his mettle, Pleading with my errant razor to return nowto mydoor; "Nay," salth he, "so poor your lather solis your beard no good; I'd rather Sticks and stones so gladiy gather than return now to your door!" As he sped from sight I pleaded, "Will you shave my face no
\ ~ more?'"

Tradition! The words of a song In ''Fiddier'' start out with the cry TRADITION!Everyone has heard this song at one time or another. But did you ever think when you heard it how much tradition plays a part In your life also? Let us just take an example from life here at DMLC. Snow Carnival haa just come and gone. Half the campus is nursing a cold or worse. That same half has been the victim of a tradition here at DMLC.I ask you, why does Snow Carnival have to fall In the middle of winter? Why even have a SnuwCarnival? Why not be humane and have a Spring Carnival Instead ? Here In Siberia one of the few seasons worth looking forward to is spring. Warm weather. Sunshine. No white 'stuff all over the ground. Why not have a celebration then when there is something to celebrate? Just think of all the wonderful activities thst one could have In the spring thst just do not fit during the winter. Raft races on the mighty Cottonwood (for the really daring, an expert's race on the Minnesota). Mud sculptures. Just think of all the earth moving ths t could get done for our future football stadium. While we're having mud sculptures, why not have a Mud Queen, too? Just think, girls (women, whatever), of the uniqueness of being on the Mud Queen Court. Why, they even have Snow Queen In places like Minneapolis and even, heaven forbid - In Wlsconslni How many Mud Queens are there around? Excepting a few highiy advanced cultures In New Guinea, I don't think you'll find many. There's more, too. Instead of a student-faculty basketball game, why not a student-faculty tug-of-war? Wecould digup a rope long enough to go across the ravine belowLuther Hollow.Just think of all the fun the faculty is missing out on by not being able to get back at some of the students In a way other than through grades. Just think, Profs., of all the frustrations and latent anxiety thst you could let off by pulllng a Gilbert Tatge or a Mark Adlckes Into the mud at the bottom of the ravine. Itwould be a unique e:r:perienceIn testing whether Freud was right that everyone has some feelings of anlmostty towards everyone else thst need an outlet In some form or another. Tradition! Let's break It In the name of health and novelty. But walt! WouldSpring Carnival become a tradition to be broken, too? I'll leave that to you. If you want to think up some activities for a fall carnival, I'll let you have tll8f headache) I tIiInk Leaf Queens went out about six thousand years ago.

Manz Improvises Sunday, February 24, was an . exciting, as well as an educational day for the organ students of DMLC. Dr. Paul Manz gave a performance on the Memorial Organ in the chapel-auditorlum. Dr. Manz teaches at Concordia Collegein the Twin Cities and has composed much sacred organ and choir music. Since improvisation on the keyboard is Dr. Manz's major field of activity, he held a special lecture-demonstration on this topic at 3:00. 11 was extremely interesting to all, and especially valuable to advanced organ students. At 7:30 the chapel-auditorlum rang with music composed by Bach, Handel, and Franck, and played by Dr. Manz. Not only was the lecture and recital a wonderful cultural experience; it also helped to encourage students in work on .the organ and to strengthen many in their resolve to serve the Lord as teachers in His schools. A special thank you is in order to Dr. Manz fill' this encouragement.

Wise of the World Up to a few months ago, the "wise of the world" scoffed at the "ridiculous notion" that there was such a thing as the devil. Then a man wrote a novel and another saw rich financial possibilities in the book if it were turned into a vile, disgusting, obscene, frightening movie. Bother were right in that tey discovered Satan to be great box office.

Campus Calendar
In the Cross of Christ One of the places people look forward to returning to Is their home;. to many this Is the dearest spot on. earth. Besides our homes, many of us also look forward to visiting our grandparents In their homes. On the wall of my grandmother'p Uvlng room a small gold cross hangs unobtrusively. ThIs croas Is not unique; a similar one could be purchased In the bookstore here oncampus or In most gift shops. When I see this cross, however,
Prayer of Glory As a dead seed, burled In the ground, rises when the warm suno{'ays reaches Its hiding place You went out from the kingdom of Oeath that Easter Morning when God proclaimed Your Victory Evil,
over
we will rise from sleep that Last Morning when You come back In glory to take Your falthfuls to their eternal Home. gunllla
as It blends Into the background and yet stands out In silent wltneas, it appears unique. Just as the wall would seem empty without the cross, or the croas appear forlorn without its background, so It seems ChrIstianity shculd be also. Our faith Is the Integral part of the college that Is called "life." Her small gold cross does not appear gaudy or out-ofillace. When you walk Into the room and view the furnishings, a few moments will pass before you become aware of It.Around this emblem of Christianity the furniture of everyday life is grouped. The dining room table Is In the foreground, an easy chair sits near the wall, a bedroom Is just through the doorway. The arrangement of the pieces Is pleasing; each piece complements the others. Christianity should be this way Inour lives. C)n- faith should not seem "flashy" or misplAced when It evtdences Itself In our Uves; faith should blend In and become an Integral part of the scene. All our actlvltes .. working, relaxing, eating, sleeplng-ehould combine With our spiritual calling. In turn, our faith should not appear as a plastic nicety added as a finishing touch to our Uves; If It does, the wltneas we are to bear .through our Uves to all men will make C::hrlstianity appear superficial and of little con·
sequence.
Although the cross does not overpower the rest of the fur· nlshlngs In my grandmother's living room, to remove this
simple piece mentally leaves an uneasy void in the room. Something Is miaslng, a very Integral part of the scene; In fact, the focus of the wall has disappeared. Nowwe see only a chair, a table, and a doorway, all connected and yet somehow disjoint. The center of the scene, the focal point of the grouping, the cross, Is miaslng. ThIs Is the same way faith should be In our Uves. Our practice of Christianity does not overpower our other activities, but becomes an Integral part, the focal point both we and other people use to view our lives. WIthout this feature our daily activities would appear compete and yet unfinished, would be proper and yet out-ofplace. C)n- faith should be the central point in our lives, complementing and being complemented by all our other activities. The croas han~ silently a aegment and yet the center of
descant.
. The organ music which Bender has written includes the "Hymn of the Week" series. ThIs series Is presently being used In many of our congregations and has been used by our Chspel Choir on Thursdays. Jan Bender has also devised many new organ settings for hymns and chorales, numerous preludes, and various other miscellaneous works. MIss Clemenson closed her presentation by playing from Bender's "Festival Preludes on SIx Chorales." She played "A Mighty Fortress Is Our God" which consisted of two eomplementary settlngli before the actual prelude which was ex· tremely majestic. Miss Clemenson should be commended for a job well done, for IrInging to light many relevant things regarding music In the church today, and for providing all of us with a totally enlightening and enjoyable evening.

Choral Vespers Set Season At 8: 00 o'clock Sunday evening, March 10, 1974 a large group of Christians were !rought together to participate In a choral service to laud, honor, and praise the Lamb In celebration of the Passion season. PartIcipants In this service wre the Treble Choir, College Chorale, Chapel Choir, MLA Chorus,'MLA Choir, and ac· companying instruments played by Academy students.
plece was canonical In form and was only part of Bender's setting of the Catechism to music. In the area of service music, Jan Bender has written introits for Lent and Holy Week and Gospel motets for equal voices. It waa espectally ex· citing to hear how he brought out the theme of joyfulneas In one piece written for Laetare, the fourth Sunday In Lent. Jan Bender also wrote some special choir music. We heard and took part In one of the.Ie pieces wiIIch had a magnificent fourth stanza involving the choir, the congregation, an organ 'accompaniment, and a trumpet

St. Paul's - 90 Years of Continuing Grace In May, 1155, New Ulm 'II'U II8Itled by a group of people wbo strove to III4ke tile IlUlemeDt a city devoted to tile IdeaIa of radlca1IIm. In re1IgkJD, tbe:r took tile ItaDd that no dlun:b organlzatkia wbatloever would be welcomed within the boundaries of tbelr small community. Little did they know that wltbiD tbIrt:r years a parochial school would be formed whldI would graduall)' grow to become tile largest grade acbool In tile WiIcooIIn EvangelIcal Lutheran Synod. In1885, St. Paul's EvaDgeUcal Lutheran Congregation was organized, and a dlun:b 'II'U. built tile nut year on tile corner of State and Second North
StreetI.
In Its early years, the puton of the congregation endeawred to take care of tile ~ training of the cbIldren throilgb &mday and Saturday adIools witll a lengthy conflrmaUon In8tructkia. However, tbiI 100II proved Inadequate, and It 'II'U hoped that the congregation would open a pariIb acbool. Tbe polllibilitiea of opening auc:b a school seemed promillng, but progreaa WA aIow. 'lberefore, a group of concerned parenta organized a scbool IOclety known A tile Scilulvereln. WItli tile bacldng of Rev. C. J. Albrec:bt,lt appeared before the COII8l"IIatioa with tile request that the old chun:b building, wblcb had .been partially destroyed 1>y a tornado In 1881, . be UIed for school purpoees. 'lblI WA accepted, .and 011 AuguIt 11, 1885, the school WA opened wltb seventy-five cbIldren attending and a Mr. Abele A the acting Inatruc:tor. Stnce Mr. Abele wu not conversant in the English language, and the enrollment WA too large for OIIeInItructor, Uli8tance WA called upoa frgm DMLC. A young man by tile name of Mr. Freund answered the call. Many Ulnes after tbiI DMLC would OIIce again be BIked to aid the school. Each man taught for half a day In a OIIHoom acbool. 'lblI 100II proved Inadequate, too, and, by 1886, a new bulldlng WA constructed 10 that both Inatructon could teadl In their own room for a full day. However, another problem aooa arose - that of teacben who served for a abort Ume and then suddeilly disappeared, never to MID'll. 'lblI problem continued until 1818 wilen St. Paul's WA blessed with Mr. W. F. Muesing. He worked alongaIde Mr. F. W. Blauert and served tile school faltbfull:r for a total of twenty-live years. After 1900, the crtaea caused by the InfldelIty of tile faculty aesned past, but the neceulty of more adequate facilities aooa became apparent agab;l.

An Evening of American Music "America in Music" was the theme for the concert presented Friday evening, March 22 at 8:00 p.m. Participating in the concert were members of the Symphonic Concert Band and the Concert Band Ensemble of DMLC. All selections played were, as suggested by the theme American pieces. 'lbe SCB perfLnned the first four pieces. "Qui Vive," the first piece,. was. written by R1chard Fate In 1963; In It he uSed modem hannonies and shifting tonalities in a 'traditional march fonn. Next
was
"Chester,"
a
Revolutionary War Hymn by William Schuman, one of America's distinguished
composen.
MnrUlnGould wrote "Cowboy
. Rhapsody," the third selection. This brought out the feeling of Western ballads and folk songs. Caesar Giovannini composed the piece with the combination of "pop" and Folk-Rock music, called "AlIa Barocco." 'lbe next five works were performed by the Concert Band Ensemble, the smaller of the two bands. "American Salute," by Morton Gould was based on "When Johnny Comes Marching HQIlle." 'lbe nut two COIIlpOIIItioas, by Charles Ives, revealed his trait of working several familiar tunes into one. "'lbe Circus Band March" was marked by Ives as "no good" but many disagree. Variations on "America" was originally
written for the organ when lves was seventeen. Itwas one of the first examples of poly tonal music. Vac1avNelhybel was a native of Czechoslavakia who became a famous conductor In Eurpoe. He escaped from behind the Iron Curtain, and in 1957 came to America and became a citizen. Here he wrote "Symphonic MoveMent," the next piece played. "The Stars and Stripes Forever" by John PbIlip Sousa was last on the program. Upon receiving a standing ovation, the CBE ",lce again played "'lbe Circus Band March." It was a concert enjoyed by all, probably because.of the ~dS fine execution of pieces familiar to the audience.
Choir Tour con. Continued from page 1 Colorado Springs. Thus on Eeater Sunday the DMLC choir was represented twice at the same Ulne. Later that morning the Pueblo choir traveled to Colorado Springs and met the otller group. From tIIere the choir went to the Air Force Academy where they toured the cbapel and otller bulldings. On Easter evening the concert was given on the west side of Denver. Monday, April 15, the choir traveled to Plymouth,
Nebraska, and the nut evening the final tour concert was given In Sanborn, Minnesota. Late that evening the choir members returned to New Uhn and the regular schedule of classes. The Homecoming Concert of the Dr. Martin Luther College Choir was given on Sunday evening, April 28, on the college campus. For Prof. ZaIm "the tour was a realization of what bad long been faint hopes." For Prof. Brick, who put In more man hours than anyone else, It was the visual and audio results of a
year of planning. For the ~choir it was more than the 4900 miles of driving, it was a chance to learn, to see, to observe not only the physical features, but also the work of the church. Through their voices they were wiinesaes of 0Irist. 'lbe choir wishes to extend heartfelt thanks to the many people and congregations who suppUedhousing and foodon the tour. But most importantly the choir thanks them for the opportunity to enjoy Otrlstlan fellowhsip.Itwas an experience no one will forget.

Dear Danny, We're In big trouble. I was cleaning out my time machine the other day, and I found In It a curious volume entitled Prlnclples of Programing. I guess It IIl1Uk In there somehow the last time I used the machine. I found It there, opened, just begging to be read; I concluded it to be from the future, since the pages were made of thin plastic, and the letten glowed In the dark, so that you could read It anywhere. Alao,I uaumed It to be a computer or robot text, or instruction book. I think you'll understand best If I copy some parts out of It. ...the mechanism Is of such a complex nature that this volume cannot relate all the knowledge needed to deal with the mechanism; but Is merely an Introductory volume Intended to acquaint the student with the general nature of the mechanism, the depth of its complexity, and the fundamental laws by which It operates. Success In understanding the concepts presented here Is a prerequisite to the student's eventually becoming a programer ... ...the machine does think, despite all opinions to the contrary; it can reason, on many different levels. However, due to some as yet undeterminable flaw In manufacture, the machine repeatedly. and consistently will devise Its own faulty systems of logic, assailing the programmer with such statements as: "I have an Inner being which must be satisfied In self-control." The best response to this appeal is pure logic. Take an X-ray picture of the mechanism In Its conseious presence, develop It on the spot, and request It to point out that part of It which is Its Inner being. (ThIs is generally known as the Missouri method.) The mechanism will reply, "It Is intangible!" To which the programmer classically counters, "If you cannot show It to me, I cannot believe In its existence." ThIs Impeccable logic usually quiets the untrained machine so that It Is open to programming ... ...though the machine has ambulatory and manipulative appendages, the best resultS.·lire achieved whim·the machine Is kept immobile In Its case desigJied fcit: this purpose, and programmed while In said case. Again. the untrained machine will protest, declaring that It should have Its liberty; If you ask it why, it will OIIIysay, "Because Iwant to be free!" If you ask It to what purpose, It cannot tell you. Such flaws must be delnforced from the machine .. ... some basic proper behaviors to be reinforced: 1) a mechanism may not harm a citizen, nor another mechanism, nor .any living thing (this especlally must be leatned before the mechanism Is exposed to clIIIlcal situation reinf(ll'cements, where It deala for the first time with citizens and other machines) ... when finally the mechanism has been programmed positively, release It from Its case, take It outside, show It the world (of which it knows so much already), and speak to It the wOl'ds of acceptance: :'Welcome, citizen; you are now beyond freedom and dignity." And let him go hla way ... ...you have completed this book; you have done well. Please tum this In to your Instructor, and start the next one. And there's more, Danny, and It's worse. AIxI, Danny, I'm scared; it was written by B. F. SkInner.

Spring Sports 'Scene , Swings Into Action The weather this spring might not indica te this, but It Is the time of year for our spring athletic teams to begin their practices and open their seasons. The baseball, tennis, and golf teams should all be In full swing In preparation for their first contests after East vacation. Professor Methack, coach of the baseball team, In his third year at the helm has twenty-one young men vying for positions on the squad. He has eight returning lettermen.

However, the pitching Is questionable. Rick Ebeling and Mike Haase were the main arms on last year's staff. Ebeling Is emergency teaching and Haase Is coming off a shoulder operation. Thla gives the rest of·the mound crew a chance to show their wares and take up the slack.

The students looked disinterested,· with faraway expressions. 1 felt separated from the monotony as I sat gazing through the glass. Outside the window there seemed to exist another world, In another dimension. It was a world full of peace, transmitting tranqullity to all who passed therein. It was unblemished, kept from hmnan touch. It was free, with God as the only King. I tried desperately to transport my mind and soul to the drama world that existed just outside the window. I longed to share with the birds the free existence God had given them. I watched· the solitary filght

I closed my eyes and tried to imagine how It would feel to be soaring like a bird, or lust enhancing the landscape with the beauty of a tree.

My physical being remained stalonary In the desk, but mentally Iwas a blade of grass, serving my Lord by reDecting the beauty of HIs love In HIs creation.

"DMLC students really must Ilke to study a great deal" Thla statement could easily be made by anyone who has recently attended any of the concerts, recitals, activities, and games of the many organlzatiOllS on our campus. At limes there have only been a handful In attendance while at other limes the attendance does clear 250 people. But everyone knows that all those not present can't AlL be studying. The obvious questions to ask Ia ''Why?'' Granted, there are studenta that must study and put In the extra lime for a apecIal JX'Ojector term paper. And many students must work to support themselves while getting an education. But there atillia a vast majority that doesn't show up. It could be lack of support and lack of Interest, but I wonder whether these students realize they are showing lack of consideration. 'IbInk of the team members or the recltalIata who have put long hours Into the talents that God has given them. Of course they do It to the glory of God, but It Ia nice to be recognized for the efforta they have pu~ Into something. Perhaps those that doo't attend don't reallze the heartache· and embarrassment they cause by their lack of attendance. It would be terrible to think of DMLC as a school that had no feeUngs. A learned man on our faculty baa said something to this effect: "Go and say afterward that you didn't Ilke It, but at least go!" Inevery activity on campus, whether It be a concert, a picnic, or a baseball game, we have a chance to learn, to have fun, and to exerctse ChrI!Iian fellowship. We have the opportunity now; some day we may never have It.

Children Delight with Cinderella Once upon a time 1,60U children brought home bubbling tales of Ashes, the magic cat, a dancing fairy, a golden princess, and a prince who would rather have a dog than get married. Where did they get such fantastic tale? From the OIildren's Theater production of CInderella in Loreland given on May 2, 3, and 4 to grade schoolchildren representing the midwestern states of Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Kansas. Although the story line is basically the same, this production is by no means identical with the traditional tale of Cinderella. Many extra characters were added to give the play a little more zest. Another delightful addition to

Campus 'Colours Its World' Spring Activities banquet rolled around once again, getting bigger and better every year. This climaxing activity took place on Saturday, May 18. The students, faculty, and friends entered the multi-colored gym decorated to the theme of "Colour My World." The ~adltional parachutes were used with large flowers brightening up the "sky." The stage became a galaxy with stars and a silver globe for the moon. Colored lights were everywbere. Something different was added to this year's decorations in the form of a fountain in the center of the gym, ornamented with floating candles and real flowers .: Streamers formed artificial sidewalks. The walls. were murals of different areas of our country the mountains, plains, and ocean. After the prayer was given by Prof. Arnold Koelpln, everyone sat down to路 a rare treat, cbarcoal srilIed steak. Other tantilizing dishes Included baked potatoes, corn, peas, jello and fruit saisds, relishes, and eclairs and jello cake for desaert.. The ,tables were beautifully decorated with freab daises.

the play was the extra audience participation exercises given by various members of the cast during scene changes, which helped to cover up the movement of props, give the children a chance to stretch, get the audience involved, and have fun in general. The children seemed to enjoy these breaks almost as much they did the play itself. Although the children were captivated throughout the whole performance, the college students, one might add, also enjoyed it. On the whole, the entire cast, under the direction of Audrey Peterson, did a wonderful job. It appears they enjoyed directing it as much as did the audience enjoyed watching it r

Victoria was still queen in far· far..far away London. Chester A. Arthur was still pl'esident in far·far away Washington. Lucius F. Hubbard was still governor in far away St. Paul. NOlIe of, them-each occupied with problems of empire, nation, and state-was aware of the liUle drama being enaded on the bluffs overlooking the little town of New Ulm,' Min· nesota. Even less' were they aware of the slgnlficance of the little drama. Nor, for that matter, did the drama partIclpants themselves realize the implications and ramifications of their actions. We, however, who live ninety years later can grasp the im· mensity of the fathers' courage, the firmness of their falth, the , steadfastness of their trust in , the lad. He had called; the answered. He' had '::II'OIIIIIiIed; they began their their act of, ser-
grown state. We pl'opose to honor our pl'alseworthy Lord by setting aside the next schoolyear (19741975) as our ninetieth an· niversary jubilee year, and we herewith make our first report to you: ' Appointed to the combined coUege-academy 'ninetieth anniversary cmunlUee (NAC) by President Conrad Frey were MIas Trudie Georgson, Mr. Douglas Nass, and Professors Roland H. Hoenecke, Edward Meyer, and Morton A. Schroeder. Professor Schroeder Is chairman of the committee, and Professor Jerome Braun, a member of the faculty of Martin Luther Academy, serves as chaplain and secretary. The theme for the anniversary celebration Is based 011 the fundamental message of the Gospel and Matthew 5:14: "By God's Grace-A City Set on a HIll." The theme reflects our ' unique physical situation' and our physical and spiritual relatlonshlp to the city in which college and academy are located. A subcommittee is dealgning a seal to accompany and Illusll'ate the theme. The tenth day of November Is the anniversary of Martin Luther's birth. It Is also the anniversary of the opening date of Dr; MartIn Luther College ccintinued on page three

Students: Help Prepare For Jubilee Celebration So you've seen some people meeting every Monday night, right? Well, here's the inside scoop on what they've been meeting about. Next year, on November 10, 1974, there Is going to be a Jubilee service held In the honor of our famlly (DMLC-MLA) on campus (ldnd of 1Ike a ninetieth tutbdsy party!) Look around you and see how the Lord has helped us Increase our campus and Its lamUy. We all should be thankful fo~ the blessings bestowed on us for these past ninety years and the blessings stIl1 being showered upon us. So, keep In mind the coming Jubilee service and plan now to help thank God on that day and throughout the entire coming school-year. Let everyone know the theme of this celebration, which Is based on Matthew 5:14: "By God's Grace-A City Set 011 a Hill." Oh! And next time you see one
of those committee members (DMLC's Prof. Morton Schroeder taking the lead, Prof. Hoenecke, Prof. Meyer, Trudie Geor!!.SOII" or Doug Nass, or one from MLA, Prof. Braun, Prof. Waiz, or Wayne Hentges) sneaking around, give them some of your Ideas on how you'd like to help celebrate this great event.

DMLC Hitters Take Third; Year Finishes With All-Sports Trophy DMLC 0,0 Northwestern 4,5 lAIther's chances of defending their MRAC baseball title disappeared with the double loss to Northwestern. SInce rain had turned all the diamonds In New Ulm Into mud, the games were switched to Northwestern's home diamond. In all four games this year against Northwestern the Lancers have faUed to score a run. The Lancers managed only three hits In the first game. MIke Haase gave up nine hits, walked three, and fanned eight In getting the loss. In the second game Haase led the unsuccessful hitting attack going 3-3. Greg Thiesfeldt was the losing pitcher, giving up eight hits, walldng five, and striking out four.
As I sit and write this for the June issue, I am Impressed by the word "June." It Is a small word and yet It was the goal word for every student on this campus. As a sophomore I have two Junes down and two to go. As I look at tlie past two years I can hardly walt for the next two years to begin, DMLCgrows on you after a while. The work, the struggles, the hardships pleassntly blend with the love, the joy, and the laughter which have the upperhand on this hill. Granted, I need a vacation from this place; but by July 1I will be ready to come back. I know I wIllmlss my friends, my professors, and the work, and by the end of vacation nothing will be able to stop me from seeing them. When I go home for vacations I get homesick for DMLC. If home Is where the heart Is, then my home Is no longer where I lived until my graduation from high school. It Is DMLC.May God grant all of the Campus family a blessed summer, till we see each other again next September. lET ME TEACH! I freely received from Your hand , forgiveness freedom faith - - let me give!
You'll have to be Indulgent with me this time. OrIgIn Is a common trait of the things we see around us. So It was with this column. It began, "I'm a sophomore, and I'm nineteen, which means that I am relatively inexperienced In jUst about everything .••" Now I'm a jUnior, I'm twenty-one, and little else has changed. Writing Is a strange thing. You love It and you hate it A great joy comes to me when I can write'down the words In the right way, so they sound good, and they say something which makes people think (and maybe amile); and I am sad when I read the old columns and find tile many mistakes I thought weren't there; but the past Is not mine; I camlot change It. TIlethings we see around us end, as they are wont to do. So It Is with this column. I want to thank you all, for gtvlng me an 0pportunity to speaIc to you. ThIs means a great deal to me, to share with you my own joys and ramblings and fantaSies. I hope I have sIxlwnyou a different world, where the fantastic rules.

The 1974-75Collegiate Couucll officers were recently elected In one of the least-contested battles In many years. Of the four positions on the ballot, two ci the posts were being IIOUght by an UDoppo&.ed candidate.

Ballots were distributed to everyone on campus. The committee urges you to cast your vote or votes (multiple suggestions are welcomed) for your especial Interest. Whatever you suggest should be within the financial ability of our community. If you were missed in the ballot distribution, contact Doug, Trudie, or anyother member of the committee; you still have time to vote. Trudie and Doug are the students' contacts with the rest of the NAC. If you want addltlonal information, either for yourself or for your organization, or If you have an IDEA you want to share with the NAC, contact them. They'll relay your questions, thoughts, and brainstorms to the full committee. "Ob, give thanks unto the Lord, for He is good; because HIs mercy endureth forever" (Psalm 118:1).

We saw our girl's teams take home two state champlonshlpa, and felt the pride that comes with associating with them. We attended our first Sprlng Actlvites Banquet, we took our flrst college semester enms, and we found the path to F1andreau and hack. But lest we get too proud of ourselves, we must mention our Induced Iwmllity at InItlatlon, which perhapa throws a shadow on our Homecoming memories. We've all acquired new skills. We've Improved our memories by having to learn so many new names and faces. We've become accustomed to long rides home, and have finally resigned ourselves to the fact that New Ubn Is not a nightspot. Most of us have become able to survive on few bours of sleep, and everyone knows exactly what Urnes of the day one has the best chance Of getting hot water In Ute shower. We've dlscovered the attraction of the MaIlbox, and become very adapt at playing our favorite game, How to Outwit the Piano Checker. Yes, we've certainly learned a lot. But there still are some unanswered questions In our Innocent young minds, such as: Whatever happened to aprlng? or When did the male of our species become extinct? and Who keeps moving the comer hack when you're walldng up thehlll? But It's only a matter of time before these mysteries will be solved. Next year we'll be sophomores, and then we'll have all the answers.

Dear Members of our DMLC Campus Family, The time of graduation Is soon approaching, and I have been asked to write a farewell letter In behalf of our class. Thinking It over, there are many thoughts and messages that we could leave to the rest of you In this Ieller. We could reminisce about the highlights of this, our last year, or even the highlights of our entire : four years here at DMLC. . But there Isone thought about our senior year that I am sure we: : seniors all share. Our senior year has been an awakening or : realization of what DMLC Is all about. For some of us, It was a startling realization of what we are , really here for In the first place. Some of us experienced a : curriculum where we were exposed to teaching fqr the first time ~this year. Others may have experienced a short demonstration : lesson at St. Paul's, buttor inostof us, our eight or nine weeki were : the first chance we got to put all of our past knowledge to work In a , real teaching sltutatlon. This taste, or sample of what we are going : : to be doing In the years to come has seemed to awaken us, and : ' created In us an eagerness, a desire, and an anticipation of the coming school year when we begin our full time work In the teaching ministry as servants of the Lord. We have also realized that after sixteen or seventeen years of going 10 school, all our schooling Is coming to an end. This means that besides the books and the studying, all that we associate with school will also be no more. You might say that this realization has' , created an appreclallon for those things we hardly noticed or lust : , took for granted. Many"of us are saddened that we can no longer , , share the loy of going to a football or basketball game with our : ' friends. We realize that there will be no more concerts or choir , tours. Snow Carnival will only be a happy memory as will Homecoming and the Acllvltles Banquet. We could go on and on with the list. Besides extra-currlcular activities, we have awakened to other things. All of a sudden, that class we used to Complain about so much now doesn't seem all that bad; and that professor we used to always find fault with now turns out to be someone we can ap· preclate and talk with about our problems. : Another realization many of us have thought' about Is. graduallon. Sure, we're looking forward to getting that diploma,: but after the service, we have to say goodbye to quite a few people.' Some friends will keep In touch, but It Is quite possible that some of' the people here at DMLC we will never see again In our lives. also quite possible that the friend we've roomed with for one, two.: : Maxine Uhl...... _ three, or even four years may be teaching. 2,000 miles away from ' Black Creel<. WI. us,andthuswe may never see him again. Considering all of these enumerations, we can sum up this message by saying In short that we are going to miss the place. _,• ..,.".-. :.,: suppose there lire those who lust laughed or said something like "You're crazy" to that last statement. All we can say to those people Is that we're sorry you feel that way. To those who perhaps In the future saw themselves reminiscing about some of these things, we would like to say don't walt until you're a senior to do your reminiscing. It's no crime to start thinking about these things

now. Maybe we can start today to appreciate our friends, faculty, and school. Maybe then one can realize as we Seniors that DMLC Isn't such a bad place after all.

Reminiscences of Graduation DMLC is rich in traditions and customs. Qraduatlon Day and 'the events surrounding the seniors on that day are without exception. Among the customs prior to Graduation Day was the tree planting on Arbor Day, by the senior class. This tradition which was begun by the class of 1932(Profs. Sievert and Zahn),
high sehool seniors. that were not coming back the next year. As for the graduation service Itself, the circumstances, site, and customs have varied considerably over the years. The sites of graduation have changed quite a bit since 1896 when the service was held at the 'theatre and dance hall located at Broadway

The Spring Banquet three-year college in the late which we still bave today was only for college seniors and the . 1920's and a four year college
only since 1953,different colors fer the gowns were needed to represent the rank of the graduate. The three-year grads wore blue, the bachelor's (4year) black, and the high school maroon. In the past, the commencement service speakers included a class-chosen speaker, a speaker from the faculty, and until 1937, a valedictorian. The faculty and students disliked that tradition and in 1938(Prof. Swantz) they changed that practice to a student elected speaker. Although many classes have had a class flower, song, motto and colors; this is not true of all classes either. The custom of handing out diplomas was carried out by the chaIrman of the board at one time. This custom was changed because these men often had trouble pronouncing the names of the graduates. After graduation the big thing was receiving the call. For many classes this was the first they knew of where they were going and If they were going any place. Prof. Heckmann, (1941), told us that of his class of seventeen only one received a call at graduation. The calls were offlclally presented to the graduates, (even after a call night had been established) in the large classroom bv the
