The Pep Club has Its plans and hopes for Homecoming also.

On Monday the students began with hat day.

Tuesday was bobby socks and tennis shoes day. Wednesday was dress-up day, Thursday was Disney Character Day, and Friday Is colors day. The seniors are wearing maroon and grey; the juniors have donned their greens; the sophomores are showing their blues; and the freshmen are clad In gold or brown.

On Saturday is the big game and then comes the banquet.

Although Coach Gorsline admitted that NWC has looked good In the first weeks of competition, "I think we have a real good chance to win; the men play pretty hard for homecoming," he said. The Trojans have the same basic team they have had In the past.

The Lancers on the other hand have the same basic offense but they are struggling with a relatively inexperienced defense. Only Phil Boileau, allconference last year and eocaptain this year, Monte Huntington, and Dave Voss are returning. The defense has been working hard and they will be ready for the game. The Lancers are strong on offense, with sophomore quarterback Paul Bauer getting better every game. Tom Mulinix and Paul Schultz head a strong backfield.

Todd Hauf and Mike Staerkel are the receivers and both have speed and good hands.

Coach Gorsline feels that with a little adjusting on defense and the will to win the Lancers will put on a good show for the - drowd.

Wins The place is Dr. Martin Luther College, a small school for teachers located in southern Minnesota. It is ruled with an iron hand by a clan called the professors, who lord It over a majority group, the students. The term paper, test, and lesson plan are the main implements with which the profs have subdued the students in their quest for a free night, a long night's sleep, or a study-free .weekend. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to endure four years of this terrifying tyranny and emerge a well-adjusted teacher, able to control anything from a squirming bunch of 5-year olds to a rambunctious class of 8th graders.

That's the paragraph they forgot to include in the schoolcatalogue. Really though, the school life at DMLC is not all that unbearable once you get your priorities straightened out. Free time is not to be spent on a trip downtown, a walk through Flandrau State Park, or a bull-session in the Union. A more brilliant ecstasy can be found within the tiny cubicles of the discord dungeon where any student can rapture in the sounds of that middle-age monster, the piano, or its long-winded partner, the organ. Not only do we have two buildings dedicated to these wonderful instruments, but onthe top ofthe most prestigous construction on campus, Old Main, is a room for class piano. What couldbe more appropriate?

And the keyboard is not the only device that has been used to deplete the students' free time with teacher-oriented programs.

For a more fulfilling life at school our extracurricular school activities have been designed to reflect the teaching profession that we willenter. Take, for instance, the case of our first movie night.

"Lawrence of Arabia" had that tremendous ability to endure hardships that is an admirable quality of any teacher and the gleam that came into his eyes when he thought of taking Damascus was enough to convince me that he was about to hand out a comprehensive essay examination to the opposing side. And the look of terror on the faces of those about to die was no worse than that of a student faced with the possibility of two term papers due on the same date. The comparisons to schoollife were truly amazing.

Another thing that I find amazing about our wonderful campus is the colorfullmaglnation of those members of the kitchen staff whomake out the menu board. I have never seen so many different names for what I had always thought was a hot dog. It certainly does add an interesting element to the conversations at lunch time, but lately it has seemed that no matter how'interesting the food sounds, it all tastes the same regardless of what it is called. incidentally, besides piano the longest standing tradition at DMLCis complaining about the food. If you can't say anything bad about It. don't eat It. These are some of the littIe-knownsecrets that all newcomers must learn in order to fully appreciate their college·eXperiences.

After a while the stomach will harden and the fingers will become supple and even the mind willadjust Itself to tune out the vibrations ofa boring lecture. Then the four years will go like second desserts after a big banquet,

Trettien Award

On October 6, at 8: 00 p.m., DMLCwas very fortunate to host a harp recital by Miss Kathy Kienzle. Miss Kienzle has served as a solo performer with many American and European orchestras. She has just returned from the Sixth International Harp COmpetition in Jerusalem, where she was awarded third prize, the highest award given to an American at the competition. We were indeed happy to have this talented musician with us. Miss Kienzle was assisted in her recital by Mrs. Ruth Anderson, pianist, and by Ruth Kitzerow, flautist.

have classes with many of them and get to know each other in the dormitory. StIlI, something is left out.

Freshmen will feel out of place If there is, no communication betWeen classes. If the rest ofthe school ignores the Freshmen, the Freshmen won't feel as If th~y belong. This really hurts their school spirit and affects their attitude toward the school.

DMLC is different. Everyone is friendly. You hardly ever pass someone on the sidewalk who doesn't say, "Hi." Class distinctions aren't rigidly held up and everyone tries to help the Freshmen. This really helps Freshmen who feel alone.

If DMLC ever loses this atmosphere, It wouldbe a big loss, Uving in a time when people don't get involved with other people, it's Important to show them that we care. The best place to start is at school.

On November 2, 1976,between 1and 7 o'clock in the afternoon, the Blood Mobile will make its yearly appearance In the Luther Memorial Union here at Dr. Martin lAlther COllege.

APproximately 220students will give some of their time and some of their blood to help unknown, yet needy and thankful persons. Jeff Davis, Eldon Sting, and lAlAnn Rieger are coordinators of this year's campaign, for which one had to register. If you did not sign up to give blood this time, think seriously about giving blood the next time the Bloodmobile Is here. Become involved in this worthwhlIl} campaign, for "Freely ye have received, freely give."

In February of 1976members of the Creative Writing class were able to enter a writing contest. This contest is sponsored in remembrance of W. C. Trettien to give an award of $100 to the winner to help him defray expenses at DMLC. This past year's winner of the W. C. Trettlen Creative Writing . Award was Lisa Landvatter.

Previous winners are Jan Zimmerman in 1974 and Lois Bartelt in 1975.

The Creative Writing course is taught in the first semester of the school year. The student's entries are to be in by late February during the second semester.

The students may submit anything from the course or anything else that they had written. The entries must be a short story, play, longer poem, or an essay. Each entrant may submit more. than one original work.

The entries are judged by three judges chosen by the chairman of the English Department. These judges are not limited to being English teachers. At least one judge is from a department other than the English Department.

A Checker Speaks Out I would like to speak in defenseofthe I.D. checkers who work in the cafeteria. The number of students who expect to be allowed through the line without a card seems to be increasing as it does _annually due to the nice spring weather and our intramural activities.

The guilty students give the simple yet illegitimate excuse, "I left my card in the dorm," and feel no qualms, thinking that everything should be taken care of. Few even bother to ask to get in without the required I.D., but merely recite a number and pass through as if no apology were necessary and the rule didn't even exist. Such inconsideration forces me to speak up.

Who realizes that every time the checker allows any student to eat without the card, she lays her job-on the line? One such incident reported to _ the management would cost the checker's position in the cafeteria. "Whocares about her job, I want to eat. Besides, she won't care," seems to be the prevalent attitude. Whether she showsit or not, the checker does care about her job and wants to keep it but is usually too kindhearted to stand up and say so.

Reciting rules to peers who violatethem is not an easy task.

Onlya foolwould be willingto give up -his -job for a selfish student who's too lazy to trot back to the dorm. Yet we ask our checkers -to do this everyday, three times a day.

Please D.M.L.C. students, let's start taking our responsibility seriously, bring our cards and stop harassing our checkers.

Look What's Coming!

DMLC offers many varied and interesting presentations each school year. Here's a look at just a few of the many upcoming events which you may wish to 'plan now to attend: .

BAND CONCERT: The first concert ofthe year presented by the DMLCbands will be given Friday, November 5, at 8:00 p.m. Among the several pieces played by the Concert Band Ensemble 'will be "CIlester."

Continuing in a -BiceJttennlal vein,' the Symphonic Concert Band willinciude "The Battle Df Trenton" in its selections. The public is cordially invited to attend this concert.

Exciting Viewing Awaits Us Looking for some great campus entertairunent? Want somethingthat's flUland Inexpensiveto do on a Friday night? Need something to get you away from the same old classroom tensions and library blues? Well,Collegiate Councilhas something that fits the bill. Once again this year our campus body is in store for some superb viewing as we resume our series ofM9vieNights.

"Lawrence of Arabia" was just a start. Upcoming movies include "Luther," a film that's as interesting as it is educational.

For a little contrast, oneshouldn't miss Steve McQueenas a supercool performer in "BulliL" The latter should prove to be a suspense-filled shocker. Then all John Wayne lovers can get involved in a Western that's as rough and tough as it is sentimental.

Be on the watch for "The Cowboys."

For a rare, stirring film, come see Sidney Poitler at his best 8long with Harry Belafonte in "Buck and the Preacher." All noninteIiectuals have a great chance to become intellectual as we present the movie "Galileo." It embodies more than you expect so don't miss it. And finally, for the comedians in the crowd we have a laugher that's frantically funny. "Start the Revolution Without Me" is guaranteed to make youweak from laughter.

So plan ahead for a great time. Find out what a pleasure it is to laugh. Get a taste of suspense and a dab of violence. Educate yourself with some fast-moving, extravagantly satisfying film entertairunent that's sure to please. Come on over and take advantage of your CollegeMovie Night. Oh yes - there might be a cartoon or two on hand to get you warmed up for a great time. So don't miss these!

It's all about love and courtship and the pains involved. It's all hard work. Ask John Homsted, the director, if you don't believe it. He's asking these youngmen and women to act roles that often require concentration and creativity, and they're answering him with their best efforts.

giving their best efforts, but have woundup on the short end of the score, losing to Dana 4226, Maranatha 37-14, and Loras 34-16.

September 18 the Lancers traveled to Blair, Nebraska, to begin the season against Dana.

Heat proved to play an important factor in this contest, as Dana's extra depth allowed them to keep fresh troops in the game. The Lancers fell behind early and trailed 14-0 goinginto the second quarter. The .Lancers had a strong comeback, and trailed only 2().14 at halftime. Dana then came back to dominate the third quarter, and 12 fourth quarter points proved to be too little too late.

Sophomorequarterback Paul Bauer passed for two, touchdownslind he himself scored on a .run. The tosses were to Sophomore AI Greschner and Senior Monte Huntington.

Freshman quarterback Tom Bartholomew came on late to throw a touchdown pass to Sophomore Mike Staerkel. The Lancers were successful on only one out of four two-point conversion tries, that one was Senior Paul Schultzto Staerkel.

September 25 the Lancers traveled to Watertown, Wisconsin, to take on Maranatha. The Lancers were flat the first half, and Maranatha tookadvantage of it, scoring 27 points in the first two quarters. By the time we scored our 14 points, they had their 37 for the game.

The Lancer scores were on runs by Paul Schultz and Paul Bauer. The first extra-point try failed, but they got two the next time as Schultz again combined with Mike Staerkel on the conversion.

October 2 brought the Lancers back home for the first time. this .season to take on Loras College of Iowa. Loras struck first and fast, scoring the first twotimes they had the ball.

They scored twice again in the secondquarter, and by halftime it looked like. the. Maranatha game all over again at 27'().

Thethird quarter proved to be a scoreless tie. The Lancers started an impressive drive, but it came down to fourth and thirteen from .the 29-yard line.

The.Lanc!!rsmade a daring call and fust got the 13 yards needed. But it was not to be, as they tried again, this. time fourth and four from the ten,

they lost three yards and possession of the ball.

The fourth quarter the Lancers finally gave the home fans something to cheer about as another good drive this time was not short. SenlorDave Voss scored on a. short pass from Paul Bauer. Vossthrew the twopoint conversion to Mike Staerkel, as Loras was completely fooled on the play.

SUddenlylightning struck for the Lancers as a Loras pass was interCljPtedby Freshman Daryl Webel\ whowent untouched for 30 yards to paydirt. Bauer then threw the two point conversion to Staerkel, making it his fourth two-pointconversion catch this season. The score was now 2716, and a comeback by the Lancers still possible with the time remaining.

A defensive breakdown on a short yardage play killed off all hopes for a Lancer victory, however. With the ball on the Lancer 23 and fourth and one, the Loras quarterback' kept the ball on a keeper, and broke through the defense to score the final points. With all hope for victory gone, the Lancers finished the game with many .reserve players.

however, it would be wrong for me to stare at the in-betweenstages - it's like looking at a painter's sketch before he adds the paint or reading a poem beforethe last line is written or opening up a caterpillar's cocoon before he's had time to become a butterfly. I suppose I shall wait then for the emergence of a comedy, "The Matchmaker," on Oct. 30 and

Lancerettes Begin Season Wednesday, September 29, the DMLC women's interscholastic volleyball teams played their opening game of the year at and against St. Cloud. In contrast to the St. Cloudteam, which lost none of its members from last year, DMLC has only two returning letter winners. The Lancerettes had a tough time returning St. Cloud's serves and fell behind.

Scoresin the A-team's loss were 1:>-4 and 1S-2. The B-team also lost 1S-2 and 1S-10.

Miss Sue Post, A-team coach, commented, "Our weakest position was in returning the serves. It's not that we didn't play well, we just didn't play enough." .

The Lancerette A-squad consists of senlor Deb Hewitt; juniors Lasea Bittorf, Rachel Kaesmeyer, Ann Steffen, Karen Draeger, and Mary Ruth Bush; sophomore Carol Buelow; and freshmen Beth Fischer and Crystal Roemliildt. Bvsquad members are junior Nancy Enter; sophomores Bonnie Enter, Karl HaIDke,IDIl Karen

Putz; and freshmen MarySerwe, Karen Kraklow, Doris Brassow, Faith Sauer, Kay Shambeau, Amy Heinrich, and Dawn Umnus.

Both teams practice every night for about two hours, except on the night of a game.

Players are expected to work out every' day on the. weight machines in order to build strength in their legs, arms, and shoulders. Various flexibility exercises, such as running and jwnping, are also important. A great amount of emphasis is put on working on and Improving skiDs. All these things work together to better coordination and team play.

Miss Post remarks about the season, "It shall be an Interesting one. RIght now both teams are a little 'green' at playing, but the potential is there. As they develop more competence, get to know each other .better, and how to work together as a team, we can be strong. We have to learn to be more offensive and that takes ClOIIfldence...

Eager Lancerettes get up for the block. @

190 Donate Blood Why go through the mental anguish and physical pain of giving blood? Is it really that worthwhile?

Many DMLC students were wondering this as the time approached for them to give' blood. The bloodmobile arri ved here on Tuesday, November 2, from Minneapolis.

LuAnn Rieger, Eldon Sting, and Jeff Davis were in cbarge of handling the arrangements for the arrival of the Red Cross.

Severai weeks prior to' November 2 they asked willing students to sign up to give blood at a time convenient for them.

They also. handled publicity, and arranged for student volunteers to work on that day.

Two hundred and sixty-four students had signed up this year. One hundred and ninety units of blood were given, some students not being accepted for

various reasons and some only giving partial units. Between twenty and thirty students helped out with the various jobs from typing to escorting donors from the tables to the canteen.

The bloodmobile arrived around noon with the first donors showing up around 1:00.

The last pints were taken around 7:00. The procedures as usual took place in the student union. , Giving blood generally did not take more than an .hour of the - student's time to donate. Each prospective donor filled out a minimal amount of red tape. He then had his temperature, pulse, and blood pressure taken, which is the equivalent of many. physicals these days. And this way the person wasn't paying for an office call. If a student was accepted, he then waited a

few minutes for a table to empty. One quick poke of the needle and about fifty contractions of the hand and the anxious moments: were over.

The donor was then escorted (chivalry lives on, girls) to the Round Table to recover.

Each student was urged to drink some liquids while there.

Cookies, crackers, and cheese were provided at each table.

Most individuals didn't need any urging to help' themselves to these. After at least fifteen enjoyable minutes there, students were allowed to leave.

Each was told to drink a lot of liquids and take it easy for awhile. However to many people's dismay, taking it easy

There are some new people on campus this fall. No, I'm not talking about the freshmen. The new people that I'm referring to aren't even members of the student body! Have you figured it out yet? In case you're still wondering who I'm talking about, the people in question belong to the faculty and their names are Miss Karen Motchek, Miss Chris Troge, and Mr. Edward Schutters. Right now I'd like to introduce you to them.

Mr. Schutters was born in the inner city of Chicago and attended the University of Illinois in that same city. He's really been busy with teaching biology and physical science here at DMLC, but he says that he enjoys it (and his students) very much.

Miss Troge attended college here at DMLC. Just previous to coming back she taught grades one through six and was organist at a church in Houston, Texas. In her free time she enjoys reading, sewing, and needlepoint, and she especially

likes to cook. She misses her French poodle(who bad to stay' home with her parents) but says that she has many other things to keep her busy, especially her students.

I . Miss Motchek graduated from Michigan State University in Lansing with a Bachelor's Degree in Music. For the past several years she bas been the organist at Emanuel Lutheran Church in Lansing. Her favorite pasttimes are traveling, reading, knitting, and taking care ofher pet hamster Charlie.

Miss Motchek says that the general cbaracter of DMLC is very striking and is refreshing for her, especially after attending a "large secular university. She mentioned the warmth and helpfulness of everyone on campus and said that she is enjoying herself very much here at DMLC. .

The whole DMLC family welcomes our three newest members and wish them an enjoyable and meaningful stay among us.

Students Heceive Scholarships and Grants -

Prof. John Oldfield, the Financial AidsOfficer, reported that many students 'have received scholarships and grants from several funds this year.

The Aid Association for Lutheran Campus Scholarship and Grants-in-Aid program provides monetary awards to DMLC to be given to deserving students. Those students who were awarded scholarships were seniors Deborah Adascheck, Michael Hertig, Bonnie Nottling, Helen Steele, and Sherwood Wessel; juniors Steven Bielke, Cathryn Cares, John Cox, Jeffrey Hugo, and Joann Martin; and sophomores Jeanine Heller, Stephanie Ken, Roger Kramp, Greg Sehmill, Debra Schmolesky, Cynthia Se11now,Carolyn Sieh,

and Lori Woldt.

These scholarships. were awarded to the top five students in each class on the basis of their Grade Point"Aver.age as of June, 1976.

The sophomore Class has more students receiving scholarships because of several ties.

In addition to the scholarship awards, 26 other students received grants-in-ald from thisgift. The total amount of money awarded by AAL was $10,700.

Prof. Oldfield also said that the four surviving children of Theodore and Maria Precht' were on campus November 4 to present two scholarships in memory of their parents. The Theodore and Maria Precht Scholarship Fund, established in 1972,is supported by gifts and memorials from relatives and friends of the family. They

stipulated that a $1000 SCholarship be given to a deserving student each year.

This year's recipients' were John Freese and Linda Keller.

Other grants given to students this first semester were $2000from the Wischstadt Fund and $66,422from Federal Grants.

While some vote, others give blood on the DMLC campus Nov. 2.

Keep God in the Picture "Another Monday morning and another lousy week ahead."

On October 25, 1976,Dr. Clyde S. Kilby warned faculty and students gathered in the Chapel Auditorium that to have such an attitude was also wiping God right out of the picture. Dr. Kilby's subject, "Experience and It s Track," was based on the most valuable thing he has learned from the life and work of author C. S. Lewis.

Dr. Kilby has been reading C.S. Lewis for 30 years and the most important thing Dr: Kilby feels he has been taught is that everything in this world is

unique. He feels that people are so busy that they lose their hearing and eyesight; they don't see or experience beauty in this world. Along with technology, "the microscope has become the symbol of our time," stated Dr. Kilby. He went on to say tbat man has a great sense of power because he can analyze nature, yet he feels insecure because he cannot control it.

Dr. Kilby concluded his speech by giving a list of eleven Means to Good Mental Health.

This list included such items as: no day is just another 24hours,

each day is unique; open your eyes and ears to nature, be glad the beauty is there; don't envy others, you are unique; .look back to the freshness of "childhood, don't try to analyze every little thing you experience.

As faculty and students here at DMLCwe could apply this to our lives by becoming more aware of the beauties and gifts God has given us and by appreciating them, giving thanks for them and remembering with the Ps.almist, "This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it."

(Psalm 118:24)

Mr. Nick Schuckert from tbe King of the Road Drive-In at 1301 S. Broadway has announced that be will sponsor a poster drawing contest. The posters would be used to advertise the. King of the Road Drive-In. He has offered prizes of a hamburger and ,a malt for first and second places, and a malt for third place.

The posters can 'include such facts as these: that the drive-in is open all year round, it has recently been remodeled to have inside seating at tables, It is open 11-10 dally. Any artwork can also be used.

Posters are to be turned in to . Mary Wilde by December 8.

They will be shown to Mr. Schuckert and judged, and the winners notified. If you have any questions. contact Mary Wilde.

Bloodmobile (cont. from p. 1) did not mean being excused from studying.

As far·as the questions raised in the opening paragraph, most donors would agree the physical pain Is very minimal, even to the point of being insignificant.

And the' mental anguIsb Is usually nonexlstant after the first time as a donor. All would agree that it Is worthwhile. To know that maybe someone's life will be saved gives one a very good feeling. Only a very small percentage of those able to give blood do so. ThIs makes every ,donor and every pint of blood even more significant. The bloodmobile will return in the spring, and It Is hoped that even more students than 264will see how worthwhile It Is.

UDon't they know.about lung cancer?"

Messenger Extends, Invitation IT anyone has anything he would like to contribute to the Messenger, we would be very glad to use it. You can contribute poems, stories, artwork, or ideas for articles.

If any of the .organizations on campus would like to submit an article telling something about what they are doing now, we will accept it. This does not mean that you will be on the Messenger staff, although if you want to join you may, or that we will use your name if you do not wish It used. We would appreciate it If you did put your name on whatever you submit so that we know whom to credit for the contribution.

Correction We would like to apologize for a spelling error in the October 15 Issue. In the article on the opening of school the name of the speaker at Opening Service was misspelled. It should read Pastor David Ponath of Christ Lutheran Church, North St. Paul, Minnesota.

Ishould have known it would be a long night when I combined a dinner of beef tips over rice with a midnight snack of beef and bean burritos doused in hot sauce from La Senorita's. No sooner had my head hit the pillow than I found myself being swept away on the train to dreamland but with a ticket to Whatta Pain, NM (that's Night Mares - not New Mexico).

Before Iknew it,Iwas standing in the downtown area of a quaint little town much like New Ulm. There was an intersection of two roads with a bizarre looking building on each of tbe four resulting corners surrounded by corn and wheat fields for as far as the eye could see, Being interested in this "real world" as any normal geography student would be. Iheaded for the nearest bullding to find out where I was.

Upol'Ientering Iwas surprised to find that In so nice a town two of the occupants were bickering. Iperceived at once, however, that it was only a minor spat, since they were still on a first name basis.

HAw, corn'on Dean," one said, "You can't be serious." "Of course, I'm serious," said the younger of the two. "You don't know what you've done to"mybusiness. First you build a huge parking lot right on campus, then you put a curb in by the Summit Road entrance, and now you build a new entrance to our parking lot. I can't take it anymore, Do you know hpw hard it is to fmd a car with even a minor parking violation to hit with a ticket? If you insist upon continuing this nonsense I may have to fine the students for parking in'their own places." Not wishing to see a grown ..man cry, I promptly vacated the premises, , Now I was not at all certsin that I wanted to stay, bui nonetheless I headed for the building whose heading claimed, "We check out rooms." Oddly enough it was a simple, one-room structure that was already occupied by a woman lecturing her cohorts on what must have been a study of hygiene. "No," she said, "White gloves are not essential but I strongly suggest them.

Remember - anyone can find the dirt that Is swept under a rug, but it takes a real expert to fmd the film of dust in a hidden crevice or on a shining light fixture." At that point I left lest my.n81Ile be added to the duty list at the front of the room.

I was about to enter the building across the street when I saw the sign, "We check out piano rooms free!" I didn't advance any further, recognizing 8 trap when I saw one.

That left only one building to turn to, so I hesitsntly climed the steps to ita threshold. From there I could see that this edifice obviously contained all of the central figures of Whatta Pain. I at first thought it strange to find such an unlikely group of men gathered in one place but then I noticed that all of them had the same first name - Professor, They were evidentally discussing some kind of strategy: "I can fit a test in before Thanksgiving. What about you?" . "Well, if we can all agree on a date, I'll assign a five-page paper," "Monday sounds fine to me, I've already assigned a lesson plan for that date." , Suddenly I r.ealized that the entire town was in on.8 big plot to destroy me, the intruder. I turned to flee, but in my haste I tripped and fell down the steps to land squarely on my bejlroom floor. ; .. "Don't l~k at.me," my roommate said: "yo,u're the,one who picked the top bunk,::' '_;' " .

Nov. 19, 1976

N~w Organ Instructor Gives Recital Whether you bceckon to Bach or cater to the contemporaries, Karen Motcheck has presented an organ recital to merit mutual acclaim'. The DMLC organ instructor performed on Sunday, November 7th, at 3:30 p.m. in the chapelauditorium. Her selections varied from the excitingly joyous to the intensely dramatic. .

"Fantasy and, Fugue in G minor" by Bach began her program with powerful richness in the fantasy, accented by descending scales in the pedals. Miss Motcheck displayed her enjoyment of music in the deep harmonies, as' well as the bouncing melodies of the fugue.

Cesar Franck's "Choral no.2 in B minor" gradually built an emotional suspense before the peaceful conclusion, leaving a captivated audience with a silent serenity.

Works of noted contemporaries were contained in the second portion of Miss Motcheck's recital.

Improvisational pieces such as "Air" by Gerre Hancock, and "Sonatine for Organ, op.ll"

by Vincent Persichetti, added another unique dimension to the afternoon performance. The "Sonatine" is a surprising piece for pedals only. As Miss Motcheck exclaims, it "has the performer hanging on the organ console in desperation to keep from' falling into horrendous dissonance! " A fitting conclusion to Karen's presentation was the "Prelude and Fugue on the

name of Alain, op.7" as composed'

by Maurice Durufle. A challenging piece even for the experienced organist, it is filled with simultaneous intricacies which fly throughout the music, which requires great' agility, technique, and perfectionistic rhythm. Mter dramatically leading to a grant finish, Miss M,ptcheck received a rousing thanks for her performance by a truly appreciative audience. A reception in the music center in honor of the performer followed th.. recital.

Miss Motcheck has 13 years of piano experience and 9 years of organ to her credit.

An experienced performer, she has recently achieved her Bachelor of Music degree in organ performance at Michigan State University in East Lansing, Michigan. Miss Motcheck was the organist for 5 years at Emanuel First Ev. Lutheran Church in Lansing, and has taught piano, organ, and music theory privately before being called to DMLC.

Piano Duettists Perform On November 8, DMLC students and' faculty were able to hear a recital of piano duets. This recital was performed by Helen and Paul Baumgartner of St. Peter. Dr. Baumgartner is presently chairman of the music department of Gustavus Adolphus College.

Mrs. Baumgartner has appeared with the Boston Pops as piano soloist.

The Baumgartners 'opened the recital with "Little Suite" by D. Donald Cervone. They first performed this piece in a concert in 1955.

The next number was "Variations on a Theme of Count Waldstein, Wo067."

This is a set of eight variations of a theme by Ludwig van Beethoven. The Baumgartners then turned to Franz Schubert, considered to be the greatest composer of four-hand music, for the next piece. This was his

On October 13, the DMLC Ladies' Auxiliary again graced us with their presence on campus. We are always glad to welcome them into our midst, for we here at Luther owe them very much.

Each year, the ladies vote for five projects which will make our lives a little more pleasant and easier. The ladies not only add a home-like touch to our dorms, but they also seek to better our campus in any way they possibly can.

Projects that the ladies chose to support this year include drapes for first floor Highland and for the new rooms in Summit Hall, a scholarship increase to five hundred dollars for the Academy, and additional choir stoles. The ladies also voted to . purchase sewing machines for the dorms. The library will be receiving an electric typewriter for students to use. . The ladles were entertained by several students and Professors · Hirsch and Moldenhauer. A quartet consisting of Sue Roland, Cheryl Wrobel, JiriJ.DePaolo, and Jeff Hugo and accompanied by Jim Bakken sang many songs including "Sabbath Prayer," "Hello Dolly," and "Softly As I Leave You." Joel Nelson then gave a slide presentation. There were selections on the piano by Mark Wessel, and Professors Hirsch and Moldenhauer. The Rambassadors also sang.

Projects sponsored by the Ladies' Auxiliary are found all over the campus. In the 1974-1975 school year, they gave fifteen hundred dollars toward the greenhouse. They also donated money for the water coolers in Hillview and Highland dorms.

During the 1975:1976 school year, they gave our school one thousand ·dOllars for equipment for the football bowl. Also during that year, the ladies graciously gave drapes for Hillview, a basketball time clock and jackets for the softball team.

These projects are only a few on a very long list. The ladies not only give their dollars, but they give their time. These are gifts from tbe heart.' They show that people care about us.

The Matchmaker . When the lights came up, the jostling of a laughing, talking crowd reached a crescendo. Ten minutes later the auditorium was quiet again, and empty.

Outside, people called their opinions to each other' through the darkness. Many had smiles in their voices. Most of them even chuckled when remembering the antics of Denis Kremer as Barnaby. He drew laughter from the audience many times, especially in the scene in Mrs. Molloy's Hat ~op. "Pudding Cornelius?" is a well-remembered Une. One viewer thought his character, along with weeping Ermengarde's, might be a little overdrawn, but other viewers appreciated the comical "types" they portrayed.

Everything seemed to climax in the third scene at the restaurant. AU the characters were under stress, and each wanted something to happen.

A Week-long Event

Jerry Hosbach proves himself the cream of the crop.

Homecoming week started, off Sunday with the championship Powderpuff football game. The sophomore class came out on top. The seniors received second place while the freshmen and juniors placed third and fourth ( respectively.

The games were extremely close. Allthe girls played well and had a good time.

Monday was hat day.

Many students turned out for classes sporting their fanciest fedoras. Tuesday was bobby sox and tennis shoes day. A few of the students looked as if they had stepped back twenty years into time.

Wednesday was Disney character day. It was rather hard for most of the student body to participate, but a large nwnber did take the time to get a costume

together. On the way to class one could see Snow White accompanied by her. seven dwarfs (who were almost twice as tall' as she was).

Mickey and Minnie Mouse were also seen in the vicinity of the Academic Center.

There were also some Cinderellas who were searching for their Prince Channings.

Thursday was dress-up day, .and Friday was class color day. The seniors wore maroon and gray, the juniors wore green, the Sophomores wore blue and the freshmen wore brown.

Everyone was quite enthusiastic about Homecoming this year. The class participation was great. All had a good attitude and spent the week looking forward to the game and the banquet.

One of the best parts of Homecoming is the competition between the classes.

This year the over-all winners were the sophomores WhO received first place in the float contest.

The sophomores built Goofy on their winning float, and the freshmen came in second with Durnbo , the elephant. The juniors and Thumper received third place, and the seniors and Pluto came in fourth.

Another memorable part of Homecoming is the Homecoming Banquet and the decorations for this year's banquet were very impressive. As one walked into the gymnasiwn the first thing he noticed was the beautiful pastel streamers and then Cinderella's beautiful castle.

After the feast of good food, the presentation of awards, and a speech from Coach Gorsline, the entertainment began!

The master and mistress of ceremonies were Ron Ohm

Ashort cartoon of his football talents was shown. Then Carol Wynkoop, Joel Nelson and Jim Wade gave us a few songs about school life and sang some popular tunes.

The last entertainer was Mike Woldt, whocame all the way from Watertown just to show us what the Northwestern students sing about during their pastime.

Homecoming 1976was- not a total loss. All of us have good memories of working on our floats, decorating the gym, getting dressed in time for the banquet and many other things. But we will stili have room for more memories that will be created next year at Homecoming 1977.

Ringing Lancer spirit clamors throughout the gym.

The many freshmen inch caterpiller-fashion 'round the gym.

Lancers Put Out Great Effort October 16 brought -Homecoming to the campus with our Synod rival, the Trojans of Northwestern, as the opponent. The largest home crowd of the season was on hand in spite of the cold weather, which apparently did not dampen the spirit of anyonethere.

Northwestern scored first. A pass interception mid-way in the first quarter placed them in fine field position, and they went on to score. The extra point 'attempt was no good. The -quarter ended with the score 6-0 as both teams battled for field position.

In the second quarter, a fumble put the burden on the defense as Northwestern started from our -35. But they got only to "the 18, and came away with - just a field goal.

Northwestern led at the hall, ~ O.

Also in the second quarter, it looked as though we had a big touchdown playas Bartholomew connected with Hauf, who caught the ball between two defenders and ran it in for a 64-yardscore. A holding penalty rubbed out the score, but it was still an exciting play.

Northwestern started the second half with a bang, faking a reverse on the kickoff, which allowed them to get past our defenders and go in for another touchdown. The extra point was good, and the score was 16-0. . We soon had a chance to score. From their 38, Bartholomew threw to Mulinix for - our first score of the game. The try for the two-point conversion failed. That score turned out to be our only one as we could not get -another drive going, and Northwestern was able to run out the clock to defeat us, 16-6.

Our Changing Campus

Womenin Hillview Donn had an uninterrupted view of the entrance before Highland Donn was built.

This fall one of our parking lots on campus was enlarged.

For many of us here at DMLC this is the first building project on campus while we have been here. Yet only fifteen years ago our campus looked very different from what it does now.

The Music Center was built in 1962. In 1964 the first of two women's dorms, Hillview Hall, was built. 1968was a year of much building activity. The Academic Center was remodeled and enlarged and Luther Memorial Union was built. 1970and 1971 were also busy years for expanding our campus. The second women's dorm, Highland Hall, was built in 1970and the library was built in ¡1971.

Today we would find it hard to imagine DMLC without these buildings so necessary to our campus life. God has been gracious in providing the facilities needed by our growing campus family.

, West Hall and the tennis courts had to be relocated when the student union ann gymnasium were built.

The DMLCcampus had much open space before several new buildings were added. Notice the many trees where the Music Center now stands. Old Hillcrest Donn can be seen just above Centennial Hall.

West Hall is half hidden above the Academic Center. , "~. " .

The new Ubrary went up in spite of cold weather.

The Academic Center got afacelift with a new entrance.

~oothall Season Ends on'Winning Note The Lancer football team, which had lost their first six games of the season, came back to win their last two games to finish with a season of U. In the last five games of the season, the team was barely beaten by Concordia 21-20, lost the Homecoming game to Northwestern (WI) 1~, lost to Northwestern of-Minnesota, 6-0; defeated Pillsbury 24-2, and beat Mt. Senario 15-14.

On October 9 we were on the road, playing Concordia for their Homecoming. Concordia struck quickly, scoring twice in the first quarter to take a 14-0 lead. They scored agaih in the second quarter and by half time were leading '21-0.We had been able to move the ball, but big defensive plays by Concordia shut off scoring opportunities for us.

The third quarter was a defensive standoff, but things looked really bad for us in the beginning of the fourth quarter as the team's starting quarterback, sophom'llre Paul Bauer, was, injured and replaced by freshman Tom Bartholomew. It would turn out that Bartholomew would quarterback the team the rest ofthe season. Bartholomew was able to get things going, and a drive resulted in a score as Bartholomew passed 10 yards to junior Todd Hauf, but the two-point try failed, leaving a score of 21~. We came back quickly; this time Bartholomew threw a 51-yard pass to Sophomore Mike Staerkel, and senior Paul Schultz ran in the two-point conversion, making the score 21-14.

Late in the quarter, we started to drive from midfield, and with only 10 seconds left In the game, junior Tom Mulinix scored on a two-yard run. ThIs left the score at 21-20,and a twopoint conversion would give us the victory. Senior Monte Huntington's pass attempt to Staerkel was over his head, and we lost 'by that score: 21-20.

On October 23, Northwestern of Minnesota traveled here.

Agaln, we had another perfect day for the game; tbat is if one were an Eskimo.

Defense was the of this game. Early 'in the game, Northwestern scored on a, drive of 52yards, but missed the extra point try. Some thought-these would be the only points scored in the game.

Our defeJUIe came up with several great stands to keep us in the game, In the second quarter, Monte Huntington intercepted a pas~ in lIle end zone to end a big threat. In the fourth quarter, Northwestern was deep in our territory, but was stopped on a fow1h-down playas quick reaction by the defense caused them to fumble" Later in that quarter, they had a fourth and four situation from our 7, but the line deflected the' attempted pass to hold agaln.

Offensively, we' could not sustain a scoring drive. We had one good drive, going from our 'l1to their' 21, but could not get _ the necessary yard on fourth and one. The Lancers lost by a score of 6-0.

October 30, the Lancers were on the road for the final time this season, to play Pillsbury.

A good return of the opening kickoff started a fine drive, highlighted by some long gainers.

Sophomore AI Greschner capped it off with a four-yard run for the touch-, down, and senior Steve Strassburg kicked the extra point to make the score 7-0.

Pillsbury fumbled on our kickoff, and we recovered in their 'territory.

Strassburg came on to kick a 31l-yardfield goal, and we took a lll-Olead.

In the seco~d quarter, Bartholomew was forced to roll out on a third down play, but picked up secondary receiver Todd Hauf in the end zone. His great catch and Strassburg's extra

Women's Volleyball Ends It was an important day for the DMLC Lancerette Volleyball Team. The date was Saturday, November 6, 1976, when the A and B squads wrapped up their season, except for the state tournament with a game against St. Olaf. . " The A-team season record stands at 2-15.There were only two returning letter winners from last ye~ the majority of the team consisting of new inexperienced players.

A-team coach, Miss Sue Post, comments, "Our biggest problem was inconsistency.

Some games we played very well and some we didn't. Ihave noticed a big improvement in our team's defensive reactions since the start of the season.

The overall attitude of the girls was very good. It becomes frustrating when. the record¡ isn't going well, but they kept 'their spirits up."

The Lancerettes met some tough trials throughout the season. These were St. Cates, Gustavus Adolphus, and Carleton in the small college division. The large college division provided tough competition from Mankato, St. Clc1Ud,and U of M teams.

Deb Hewitt will be the only player lost at graduation.

However, other team members do not go under the assumption that they are automatically on the team next year. Everyone who wishes to play is required to tryout.

The B-team. which does not participate in tournaments, ended its season with a 7-16 record. There were three returning players from last year. The rest of the team were new players.' . B-team coach, Miss Barb Leopold, said, "Our team fell into a slump' after the third game. But the girls never gave up and they came out of it."

Following are the, season's match scores for both teams' (Lancerette scores are placed first): A-team - St. Cloud: 1l-2; Northwestern (MN): 2-1; Mankato State U: 1-2; Triangular - St. Cates: 1l-2, Carleton: ()'2; Concordia: 1-2; Bethany "B": 1-2; Gustavus Adolphus: 0-2 and 0-2; Augsburg: 1l-2;St. Olaf: 1l-3;(3 out of 5). B-team - St. Cloud: Il2; Northwestern (MN: 2-0; Mankato: 1l-2;Triangular - St. Cates: 1l-2; Carleton: 2-1; Concordia: 1l-2; Bethany: 1l-2;

Southwest: 0-2; Gustavus Adolphus: 1l-2; Augsburg: 2-0; Carleton: 2-1; Winona U: 3-0; St. Paul Bible: 3-1 (3 out of 5); Triangular - Winona: 2-0, U of M: 1l-2;St. Olaf: ()'2.

The 1976-1977 Lancer basketball team has bright hopes for yet another successful season. Losing only Greg Hoffmann, Coach Dallmann has the nucleus of' a young and experienced team. Returning from last year's squad are senior forward Greg Thiesfeldt, guard Dick Huebner, centers Bradley P1euss and Rick Lohmiller, Jeff Davis, Paul Bauer, and Ron Ohm, and AI Selbig.

Paul Schultz, who was emergency teaching last year, returns to give the team added experience. Incoming players are freshmen Don Eckmeyer, Daryl Weber, Jim Unke, and transfer student Bob Lenser.

The Lancers appear to have high hopes of winning the conference, a feat that eluded them last year. With Thiesfeldt, a returning all-conference performer, and Schultz, a hustling defensive wizard, the team looks solid. After fmishing second in the MRCC last year, the Lancers are looking for a championship on their own home court in February, when the MRCCtournament is played here. The team has good depth, good height in Pleuss and Lohmiller, and good freshmen prospects. They have a tough schedule playing Bethel, Concordia, and Northwestern of Watertown, who are all very strong again this year. The team is looking optimistic.

Art' Gallery Displayed One of Lutheran Brotherhood's seven traveling art galleries will be on display from Nov. 17-Dec. 1 at Dr.' Martin Luther College, New Ulm. The art work in the traveling galleries consists 9f award winners purchased by the Minneapolis-based fraternal insurance society through its annual National , .utheran

Student Art Award Program, which has been held since 1958.

The galleries are made available on loan to Lutheran congregations and other interested groups. During the first six months of 1975, they were displayed in 16 cities in nine states. The galleries were then completely renovated in readiness for this year's exhibits.

Pillsbury scored when senior punter Fonda Fischer, had the ball hiked over his head deep in our - own territory. The ball went out of the end zone,. and they got a safety out of it.

Leading 17-2 in the third quarter, Mike staerkel ran untouched for a 67-yard touchdown, and Strassburg's kick gave us a 24-2lead, which was the final score. We played out the string not allowing Pillsbury to score. The win ended a sixgame losing streak.

On November 6, Mt. Senario traveled here as the Lancers fmished out their 1976 campaign. It was another cold and windy day, but the crowd was treated to a fine game.

We again started out in great fomi, and Tom Mulinix capped

off a 53-year drive with an 11yard run. Strassburg's extra point made the score 7~. But Mt. Senario came right back with a drive of 69 yards on the ground, to make the score 7-6.

He made a very smart play by knocking the ball out of the end zone for a safety, thus preventing a touchdown. Mt. Senario led 8-7.

In the second quarter, we recovered a fumble on their 39 yard-line. Al Greschner later scored from the four, and Mike staerkel scored the - two-point conversion on a pass from Paul Schultz to take a 15-6lead into halftime.

In the fourth quarter, our defense was called upon to hold

.the lead. Mt. Senario iaunched a drive from their 10,and drove to our seven. On third and seven from the 17, they were driven back eight yards on the play.

This brought up fourth and 15 from the 15, and their quarterback was sacked for another IO-yard loss. \ Mt. Senario started another drive from their 31 yard-line.

Gorsline added, "Pillsbury always has a fine team, I think mainly because of their coach; he was in the Olympic program for awhile.

Also Northwestern-Roseville and Concordia have a few very tough individuals, but overall they aren't strong."

With four veterans returning and more new prospects popping up, the Lancers will be in for the most exciting season of their history.

MESSENGER: Tamhuritzans The Duquesne University Tamburitzans definitely scored a success with a large audience composed of DMLC-MLA students and guests on November 21 in the OIapelAuditorium.

These singers and dancers portrayed the folk arts of Eastern Europe by using a wide variety of authentic costmnes and musical instruments. Their name is taken from the tam-: buritza family of stringed instruments common to the folk cultures of Southeastern Europe.

Duquesne University, located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Is a private institution of about 8.000 students. Members of the Tamburitzans receive scholarships and sing and dance

As you are reading these .words stop and think for a minute. There are many people to whom this whole paper would be a big blur. "That the BlInd May See" and other topics were dealt with at the annual Mission Fair conducted on Tuesday, November 16. This year's theme, as planned out by the Mission Committee, was WELS Special Ministries.

Many juniors and seniors spent the day listening to reports closely related to the congregation and school life of teachers.

Though our home missions may not sound quite as glamorous as the world mission field, it is certainly appreciated by many right here among us.

Some of us here at Dr. Martin Luther ·College are involved with the Lutheran Collegians, serving our young people on college campuses.

The Special Ministries Board has many other projects so that the Gospel of Christ may be shared. The Lutheran Women's Missionary Society Is responsible for material to help the visually handicapped. They produce braille and Jarge-type literature. "Meditations" is put on cassette and sent free of charge to those who are blind.

The Wisconsin Lutheran Institutional Ministry was begun "to' serve the spiritual needs, both long term and emergency, of thousands of unchurched people who... live in hospitals, in nursing homes, and in prisons." Those who attended Mission Fair also heard about the work being eagerly waiting for the curtains done at the Wisconsin Lutheran to go up a second time. When Child and Family Service. ThIs work includes care and the lights finally went down, the Christian counseling for the voices were quiet, and the viewers were captured by' the . aged; the child, and the family.

These youths spend six weeks every summer at Lake Nebagamon, Wisconsin, producing a new show. They rehearse an average of 14hours each day during this time.

Following training, the show is polished, corrected, and changed. When they return to Duquesne after the six weeks, the show Is ready for the new season.

The group is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year.

The people represented throughout the night were all of

the Southern Slavs, which include the Croatians, Serbians, . and many of the other nationality groups which make up today' s USSR. The audience was led into the lively temperament of a traditional Croatian dance in the opening number. Throughout the first part violins were featured in a folkmelody, the beautiful dance and song culture of the Macedonians was captured, and the spirit of a Romanian village with animals was represented.

Immediately after the curtains went down for a fifteen minute intermission, the auditorium was filled with a low murmur of voices exchanging positive remarks about what they had just seen. Most were

Service Date Set

Origami Sessions Held

Wednesday, January 26, 1977, has been set as the date of the Midyear Graduation Service.

This service will be held in the Chapel-Auditorium beginning at 7 p.m. Ten seniors are graduating this year. They are Emily Footh, David Karnitz, Merlin Meitner, David Noffsinger, Tracey Noffsinger, Gloria Quade, Julie Schulz, Debra Stafslien, Steven A. Strassburg, and Debra Whitcomb.

Everyone is invited to attend this service.

Mission Fair (cont. from p. I) command, "Go ye therefore and teach all nations," excludes none. The great love and tenderness God feels for you, He also feels toward the mentally retarded, the blind and deaf, the children and the aged, thetroubled families, and the institutionalized. God wants them too, to enjoy the forgiveness of sins, life, and salvation which Christ earned for them.

The Takeuchls display some of the lovely figures which they have made by the ancient art of origami.

Our heads let us remember the joys of Christmas. Our hearts let us remember why.

To the Students, To Make the Most of Time Pack up your schoolbooks whlle you may Old time Is still a-flying.

The sunshine which Is bright today Tomorrow may be dying.

Enough of work; let's have some fun,

It's no place that we're getting.

Let's sing and dance and jump and run, For aren't you tired of setting?

That age Is best which Is our youth When life at hearts comes knocking.

For soon our time we'll spend, forsooth, In chairs that squeak while rocking.

Then be not slow, but use your time To find your favorite buddies, For having lost but once our prime, There's nothing left but studies.

Decorations cover our campus, choirs sing Christmas music, and snow blankets the ground, giving DMLCa holiday atmosphere.

The Christmas season was welcomed at the Christmas Party held on Monday evening, December 6.

The program planned by Collegiate Council began with evening chapel. The assembly was led in worship by Dean Huebner, who read portions of Holy Scripture. The readings were followed by well-known Christmas hymns, which were sung by the assembly and accompanied by organist Ruth Kitzerow, An hour of entertainment followed the Chapel service. The masters of ceremony were Bob Lenser and John "Homer" Homsted, both of whom added humor and talented showmanship to smoothly-run program. Two Christmas carols were sung for the audience by the Marluts and Aeolians, under the direction of Sherwood Wessel. This was followed by a humorous Christmas skit about Santa's workshop presented by Children's Theater. Jim Wade provided accompaniment for a brief sing-along, which was followed by singing and guitar playing by the MC's and Richard Schwartz. The final act by Rick Gibson and Lynnette Blievernecht concluded the program with gentle arrangements of Christmas music, sung in harmony and blended with the guitar.

The entire program was well received by the audience. The MC's and performers wished all in attendance a Merry Christmas, and all left with a warmer anticipation of the coming holiday.

All students were invited to refreshments, including peppermint ice cream, in the cafeteria after the party. Thanks were given to the committee from Collegiate Council that organized the party for their many hours of work.

By now many on campus have heard about the origami sessions held by the Takeuchis of Tokyo, Japan, but bow much do you .r eally know about origami?

Traditional origami, the type which the Takeuchis do, dates back to at least 1682.According to Schigemitsu Takeuchi, It began, possibly, in connection with the doll festivals celebrated in Japan.

The outstanding characteristic of origami is that beautiful and sometimes movable objects can be created without the use of paste or scissors. All that is needed is one square piece of paper.

Ah yes, here we are again, approaching Christmas Week, one of the biggest weeks of the church year. Between Christmas and New Year's Day we fit in enough festivals to last through half the church year. But as students and teachers at DMLC we must not forget the week that immediately precedes Christmas Week, namely Procrastination Week. This is the week that marks the culmination of all that has been neglected since the beginning of,the school year, a time when student and teacher alike are required to clean the slate for the upcoming holiday. What Christmas Week means to the total church year, Procrastination Week means to the successful school year.

According to Mr. Noah Webster, the word procrastinate is defined thus: "To put off until tomorrow, or from day to day; defer; postpone; delay." Surprisingly enough, this definition IS immediately followed by two italicized words: "Now rare." This observation was obviously not made after a visit to the DMLC campus. Those who really know this campus realize that for us procrastination is not just another part of school life - it is an art.

There are two important reasons tht procrastination has taken on such great significance for the DMLC student.

First of all, procrastination has the dubious distinction of being part of the "unwritten curriculum." Although it is not listed as such in the college catalog, and therefore no credit can be given for learning this skill, it is taught consistently throughout the four years of college. The freshmen are taught that in order to pass an American Lit. test they must read all fifty stories on the night before the test. Sophomores soon learn that with all the work they have to do it is hard enough to get today's assignment done, let alone thinking about problems of the future like assignments due tomorrow. Juniors have the great fortune of being introduced to the lesson plan, which might be defined as a Dian which is written in less and less time before it is due as you fmish more and more of them. It is the seniors, however, who put all of this learning into practice. As student teachers it is essential to put off writing tomorrow's lesson until today's has been finished, which requires professional proficiency in procrastination. If you make it through student teaching, you know you can procrastinate with the very best in the field.

In the second place, procrastination has become a steadfast part of the DMLC tradition. After all, didn't we wait three and a half centuries after Martin Luther lived to build and name this college after him? Since our tradition was begun with acase of such great proportions, it seems quite appropriate that teachers and students would try to keep up the tradition by putting off tests and assignments for a month or two. For this reason Procrastination Week was developed, as a sign that as we usher out the Old Year we will also end the postponement of that year's assignments, so that with the.entrance of the New Year we can begin to procrastinate on an even greater and grander scale.

Thus it has become part of the DMLCtradition to leave the one week before Christmas vacation as a time to finish off all those procrastinated items that have slowly piled up. The professors have put off their tests in expectation of this moment and are ready to hit the students with a deluge of tests second only to that of exam week. The students have dutifully held back completion of their projects and papers so that each is left with the ultimatum ~ do or die; finish or flunk. Even the kitchen staff has fought off the urge to dispose of·its leftovers in a more humane fashion and the menu board reads like an old movie advertisement: "Now held over for the third straight week - Chef's choice or Build Your Own." But look on the bright side. This is a perfect opportunity for the whole campus family to turn over a new leaf and resolve to keep upto-date for the rest of the year. Or-better yet - why net let it go until next year?

Japanese art, is still very popular in Japan today. By the age of two or three years old, most Japanese children are able to fold several simple paper figures. The technique Is not taught in school, but rather in the home by the mother to her children. Although mostly women and children work at origami some men are also able to do origami.

The main purpose of origami Is Simply for one's pleasure. It Is not too difficult to learn, and can be done without a great deal of mental stres, which makes it ideal for children.

Mrs. Takeuchi, a teacher in a nursery school in Japan, teaches it to her students there. She recommends it as a good way to develop the agility of the fmgers.

The Magic of Christmas

Beautify Chapel What do sequins, glitter, gold trim, pearls, and styrofoam have to do with Christmas?

Artistically arranged, they are the Chrismons which adorn our chapel Christmas tree. These beautiful symbols of our Savior's love, mercy, and grace were made by the Chapel Conunittee.

If one counted the variety of Chrismons on the chapel tree, he would find well over a dozen in white and gold. With them is carried a message even more beautiful than the symbols themselves.

1. Cross Triumphant: Triumph of the Gospel through the world; Christ glorified.

2. Cross Potent: The Savior's spiritual and physical healing powers.

3. The Fish: An ancient symbol for the Christ, it was a secret sign during early Christianity's persecution.

4. Butterfly: Our Lord's resurrection; resurrection of those who die in Christ.

5. Descending Dove: The Holy Spirit at 0\11" Lord's Baptism.

6. Chalice: The Last Supper; Holy Communion.

7. Crown: The Kingship of our Lord; His Victory over sin and death; His place of honor at the right hand of God the Father.

8. Triangle: The Holy Trinity, one God in Three Persons.

9. Chi Rho: Christ.

These decorations speak of the Person of Our Savior; and it was to this purpose that Frances Kipps Spencer of The Evangelical Lutheran Church of The Ascension in Danville, Virginia, first created them in 1957.The term "Chrismon" is. from the words "Christ" and¡ . "monogram," a Chrismon thus __ . being a "monogram of Christ."

White and gold were chosen as the Chrismons' colors to proclaim a message, also. The white stresses the Lord's purity: the gold, His majesty and glory.

Each year more symbols are made into Chrismons, and more families, schools, and congregations are using Chrismons to help them rejoice ~__. 1,/.: in the Christmas 'message.

Several books have been ,J / printed to give suggestions and /1'" '-. detailed patterns of a broad ~/ variety of Chrismons and their .. " .., individual meanings. Although V Chrismons may be inexpensive ornaments, their message is the richest ever!

The bitter wind whipped the heavy, wet snow into our faces as the old woman and I slowly walked. The old woman clung to my tired arm for fear of falling on the icy sidewalks. I felt her brace herself every time she slid. My arm cried out in pain from her surprisingly strong grip Whilemy mittened fingers sought for warmth.

It was insane to be out on such a night, but she had to see the huge evergreen tree in the town square decorated with lights.

And tonight was the only night it would be lit.

I was forced to accompany her at my father's plea.

Because of his accident he was unable to keep his promise to her. I volunteered to take his place and regretted my rash offer the moment I spoke.

I was glad when the snow began to fall that morning and to my delight it continued into the evening. I was relieved when I learned the car was snowbound in the garage, but the childlike disappointment on the old woman's face made me feel guilty. I then challenged her to walk to the square (believing she would refuse) but to my surprise her eyes brightened and her grave lips' curved into a huge smile.

death, because an old woman wanted to see a big decorated tree. It reminded her of Christmas years ago.

Oh! How many times I heard the same old stories of ber Christmas when she was young _ her poor parents, her huge house, and the ten-feet tall tree that was placed in the parlor!

Such a dull story. Who cared about the past?

The old woman tried to make conversation, but my responses were colder than the wind. She finally ceased her endless chatter.

As we turned the corner, onto the square, my thoughts were interrupted by a flash of bright colors. That evergreen tree _ the one I took for granted _ was beautiful! The huge, bright, colorful lights glowed as the snow blanketed the outstretched arms of its immensity. I couldn't take my eyes off that tree. I just stood there with my mouth hanging open.

I faintly heard a woman's voice speaking softly in the background. I turned to find the owner of the voice and came face-to-face with the old woman. But she didn't look so old anymore. Here eyes were wide, her face glowed as she remembered Christmas of long

"We didn't have lights back then," she sald wistfully; "we used candies. We would light them on Christmas 'Eve, and then we would sing _" "How did you keep them on?"

I interrupted. . "What?" she asked, for I had interrupted her memory.

"The candies. How did they stay on?" I repeated. And she explained.

After her explanation, she sald, "Our ornaments were not those glass, boughten things.

Wemade our own and I still say they are much prettier than those things that your father drags out every year." She then proceeded to desoribe everything.

"Let's make .some!" declared.

Sle looked at me in surprise; but in my excitement, I took no notice.

"We have a week before Christmas, Grandma, (for she was not the old woman anymore) and that will be plenty of time to make them.

Won't it?"

"Yes _ why yes! We could make some ornaments for the tree, if that's what you'd like," she answered, still confused at my outburst.

In my ecstasy I didn't notice her confused looks and her delighted hopes as I listened to her stories for the first time. I knew them all by heart, but it truly was the first time that I actually listened to every word.

I listened and I heard!

"Ready for Christmas! You've worked, it is true, But just doing the things that you wanted to do.

Ready for Christmas! Your circle's too small.

Why,you are not ready for Christmas at all!"

She awoke with a start, and a cry of despair.

"There's so little time, and I've still to prepare!

Oh, Father, forgive me, I see what you mean; .To be ready means more than a house swept clean! " Yes, more than the giving ofgifts and a tree, It's the heart swept clean that He wants to see,

10 Seniors Graduate On January 26 the Mid-Year Graduation Service was held. In this service ten seniors graduated and, of these ten, seven received calls. Those who received calls were David Karnitz, Merlin Neitner, David Noffsinger, Steven Strassburg, Emily Footh, Gloria Quade, and Julie Schulz. The other graduates were Tracey Noffsinger. Debra Stafslien, and Debra Whitcomb.

Beginning with the opening hymn, "Stand up! stand up for Jesus," the graduates were reminded of the battles they as Christians and Christian teachers will have to fight with God's help. President Conrad

DMLC Goes West

Mid-year graduates await diplomas.

Band Draws Crowds Despite Cold Thursday, January 27 through Wednesday, February 2, were the dates for the Concert Band Essernble tour. The band traveled to Wisconsin and Michigan to perform several concerts and music hours.

The idea for this tour can be said to have started at Call Night last year when Linda Walling, a CBE member, received her call to the Music Department of Michigan Lutheran Seminary in Saginaw, Michigan. After this school year began, the idea grew into a plan. Miss Walling and the MLS Board sent the CBE an invitation to come there and give a concert over the DMLC semester break. After receiving the invitation and having it approved, plans had to be made as to how to get to Michigan and how the expenses would be taken care of.

Letters were sent to various grade schools and high schools asking if they would be able to have us come and give a music hour or concert. The result of these letters was that seven music hours and six evening concerts were arranged.

The music hours were set up to teach the grade school children some basics of music.

The format was the six invisible building blocks of music, pitch, rhythm, volume, tonal quality, melody, and harmony. The band demonstrated these various invisible building blocks by using short pieces of music or sections of concert numbers. The children also learned the different forms of music, the binary, ternary, and rondo forms. They were asked to try to followalong as the band

played several pieces, one in each form.

The week was a very busy one, beginning immediately after the last semester test Thursday morning. Thursday afternoon a music hour was held in the auditorium for New Ulm area grade schools. That same evening the band had to be in LaCrosse, Wisconsin for a concert. Many of the band members live in the LaCrosse area, so they had a chance to visit with friends and relatives.

Friday was a busy day with music hours at Tomah and Appleton, Wisconsin, during the day and an evening concert at Two Rivers. That evening concert was the band's first contact with lowered ternperatures in a public building.

Although the temperature was set at about 65, many of the band members would say it was colder than that.

Saturday was reserved for sightseeing during the day in Milwaukee. Mitchell Park Conservatory and the St. Joan of Arc Chapel on the Marquette University campus were visited in the morning. The entire afternoon was spent at the Milwaukee Public Museum.

Tbe visit to the museum was highlighted by the sight of Jeff Hugo, Stork, running up the down escalator.

After an evening concert at Wisconsin Lutheran High School, the hosts collected their guests for the evening.

Sunday morning five en· sembles played in Milwaukee area churches.

These ensembles were formed of all the band members and were woodwind, brass, and vocal groups. Because of bad weather

Frey also spoke of this with his sermon text, 1 Timothy 6,11-16 - Two Divine Imperatives. The Chapel Choir, under the direction of Professor Ronald Shilling, sang "In Thee, Lord, Have I Put My Trust." Others who officiated at this service were Professor Arthur Schultz, Professor Lloyd Huebner as liturgist, and Professor Charles Luedtke as organist.

After the service a reception was held in the cafeteria for the graduates and their friends and relatives.

May the Lord bless the work of these new teachers among the children of His church.

St.

Joseph, Michigan, at Michigan Lutheran High School was cancelled. Since the band could not travel, a concert was played at Wisconsin Lutheran Child and Family Service Center.

After that concert, several hosts again picked up their guests while others returned to the high school for supper. The band assembled at the high school at eleven that night to leave and drive all night to Owosso, Michigan, for a music hour Monday morning.

Although no school was in session because of the weather, quite a few people arrived for the music hour. After lunch, the next stop was Saginaw, Michigan, for a music hour and evening concert. Miss Walling had arranged for a tour of the campus buildings. Among those buildings was their new dormitory which houses both boys and girls in the two separate halves.

On Tuesday after leaving Saginaw, the band stopped at Michigan Lutheran High School in St. Joseph. Even though school had not been held for almost a week because of the weather, the band was given a tour of the school. As the bus traveled toward Chicago, everyone was craning their necks for the first sight of Lake Michigan. Many comments were also made about the smog in Gary, Indiana. Upon arriving in Chicago, the bandsmen had the opportunity to visit one of three places in the same area.

Some toured the Field Museum of Natural History, others visited the John G. Shedd Aquarium, and still others went to the Adler Planetarium to see

Chauvinists will love the up and coming musical. So will people who like Westerns, people who like love stories, and people who like predictable stories. Annie Get Your Gun offers something to almost everyone.

Sue Roland will play Annie Oakley in this saga of a backwoodswoman. She falls in love-for the benefit of the romantics-with Frank Butler, a star sharpshooter. Well, dear Annie ain't too bad herself at knocking -tin cans offa' gate posts with some lead, but her ability strains their relationship for some strange reason. Joel Nelson, as Frank Butler, lets her go to Europe without him.

The Western lovers will remember Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show of which Annie is a part. John Homsted will act out the personality of this tumbleweed ringmaster. Because of him, the two dusty lovers meet, fall in love, and separate-see, just the kind of predictable story people like.

A happy ending is in the offing, however. While in Europe, An";e attracts a lot of ad-

the Sky Show.

After getting caught in rush hour traffic in Chicago at 3: 00 in the afternoon, the band arrived at Bethesda Lutheran Home in Watertown, Wisconsin, about 6: 31). Although this audience may have been one of the noisiest of the tour, many of the band members felt this was the most rewarding concert of the tour. After the concert the next stop was st. Mark's Lutheran School in Watertown for a late supper and to meet the hosts for the night. After arriving at their hosts' homes, some of the band members (the female members, that is) went to Northwestern College to visit some of the lonely students there.

miration, from the crowned heads no less. No doubt she's feeling pretty proud of herself.

She comes home to Frank, and marriage is proposed, but so is a sharpshooting match. Will tb.e best man win?

According to Annie, only a man can win-to keep him happy, that is. She rigs the match so she loses, but she wins Frank's heart. His ego has been salvaged-and the chauvinists will sigh in contentment.

Director Jo Moeller is shaping Annie Gtt Your Gun with the help of producer Gary Metzig, orchestra director Jeff Hugo, and chorus director Vicki Tippett. Besides Sue Roland.

Joel Nelson, and John Homstead, two other leads-Paul Schierenbeck playing Charlie Davenport and Cindy Koeplin playing Dolly Tate-as well as the supporting actors and all the committee personnel will be working hard to perform a Western that will delight everyone. The performances are lined up for April 29 and 30 at 8 p.m. and May 1 at 2:30 p.m. and 8 p.m.

Wednesday, February 2, was a momentous day for the band and especially for one member of the band. Not only was it Ground Hog's Day and the last day of the tour, but it was also Miss Christine Troge's birthday. After the music hour at St. Mark's in the morning she was escorted onto the bus to find it decorated with streamers and balloons in honor of the day. The music hours at St. Mark's in the morning and at St. John's in Baraboo, Wisconsin, that afternoon provided two catchy sayings.

Rhythm was demonstrated in the music hours by saying a sentence and (cont. on p. 4)

Mter just returning from the band tour over semester break, I was struck by the similarity between this band tour and previous choir tours in one special area. This similarity was in the fact that no matter what the weather was, or what else may have been planned, people came to the concerts.

This was especially apparent on this band tour when we had quite a lot of bad weather caused by snow. Every place we went had very cold weather but people still came out for the concerts.

Several of the schools had even dismissed school because of the bad weather, but they announced that the band would still be playing and people came. The same thing can be said about choir tours.

Even though the tour is held over Easter vacation when many people have made plans for other things, they still come to the concerts.

It seems that on this campus, when the band or choirs give concerts, the students don't really care about them. Some people may not care for band or choral music, but they should not be in such a majority that only a hundred or so come to the concerts.

There are many other things going on that students are involved in, but you can always find an hour or two to go downtown or visit with your friends in the student union. Whynot take that time to listen to the bands or choir when they are performing?

Can you imagine what the reaction would be from the athletic teams if no one showed up for any of their home games? They would probably be furious, and the rest of the campus family would be accused of bad school spirit. Even if the team is losing the game or in a slump, the fans still show up.

The bands and choirs are just as much a part of school life as the athletic teams. Those students who participate in them do just as much work practicing and preparing for concerts as the athletic teams do in preparing for their games. The band and choir members give up much of their free time when they would rather do something else, just as the athletic teams do.

Show your school spirit by supporting not only the athletic teams but also by attending the band and choir concerts. You may be surprised at fmding yourself enjoying the music you hear.

Blasphemy in the Media

Snow-covered cars wait patiently for the heavy feet of their long-suffering masters.

DMLC Messenger The published

planned political farce. Jesus Christ hoped to obtain glory for Himself by faking His death on the cross, taking refuge in a grave for three days, and "miraculously" rising from the dead on the third day. However, the situation took an unexpected turn when Jesus inadvertently got His side pierced by a Roman soldier. He remained in the borrowed tomb for three days to nurse His wound, recovered sufficiently from His wound to reappear to His disciples, but died shortly after. From that moment on, He has been hailed as the divine "Son of God" who died to save mankind from eternal damnation.

If the above shocked you, it did exactly what it was meant to do. The above blasphemous story is, in fact, a book, just recently made into a motion picture. The name of the movie and the book upon which it is based is the Passover Plot.

Another example of such shocking nature is found in the movie, The Many Faces of Christ, in which Christ is portrayed as a bi-sexual liberal.

This movie is now being made in England to be released sometime this year. It will be rated X (for adult audiences) and will show Christ in intimate lovemaking scenes with His disciples and with Mary Magdalene.

It is my opinion that, in some ways, the Passover Plot will be more damaging and dangerous than The Many Faces of Christ.

For one thing, the Passover Plot will not be restricted and, therefore, will be available to a much more impressionable

audience. Also, in my opinion, the Passover Plot is more apt to implant the seed of doubt in the viewer's mind; whereas, The Many Faces of Christ is a little far-fetched and revolting, which makes it a little tougher even for a non-Christian to swallow.

At any rate, both are equally blasphemous and abominable to the Christian.

Just recently on the "Phil Donahue Show," a talk show during which viewers are invited to call the studio and express their views over the air, Mr. Donahue had as guests a Catholic priest and a Protestant minister, both of which are members of an interdenominational organization involved in fighting against blasphemy in the media. On this particular segmen t of the show, the studio audience and viewers at home were invited to call Mr. Donahue and either voice an opinion or ask a question concerning the Passover Plot or any other blasphemous movie, book, or article. During the process of the show, this opinion kept r e-occurrlng . that although one doesn't personally believe in shows of this nature, one doesn't have the right to deny others the privilege of viewing such movies. I don't believe this is the stand a Christian can rightfully take on this matter. Mter all, the question of Christ's divinity is not open to controversy. It is a fact which cannot be denied or challenged, and the fact that not everyone believes in Him doesn't make His divinity any less a truth. (cont. on p. 3)

What is Collegiate Council doing right now? The Council is working in many directions. The Snow Carnival committee has been at work since November planning activities and events for SnowCarnival Week. Some of these activities began several weeks ago, such as the choosing of queen candidates by the Junior class and the beard growing contest.

Another committee from council is presently studying with a faculty committee the possibility of a change in our school calendar to an earlier

uegtnrung and ending of the school year in the future.

A questionnaire was issued to each college student and faculty member, explaining the proposed change and asking for personal opinions. These opinions, and a frank and honest response to the questions, are important to the committee as aiding in their final decision.

The students also had an opportunity to participate in a poll taken in the library concerning the hours it is open to the students.

If enough interest is shown, some changes beneficial to the majority of students may be made.

The Council has also recently done some study of its own constitution. Some additions and changes are being proposed in connection with the substitutions for absent members and attendance at meetings. As soon as the rough spots are worked out, the proposed amendments will be presented to the administration and the student body for ratification.

These activities and many more routine matters will keep your Collegiate Council well-occupied during the winter months. Please show your support and interest by cooperating with us and participating in what has been planned.

Join Up Nothing to do on the weekend? Out of money and without a car? Why not join intramurals?

Interscholastic athletics are for serious-minded athletes and are played between schools. But intramurals are for people who just like to have a good time.

Students draw up their own teams and play each other, furnishing their own refs, scorekeepers, and timekeepers.

Audiences consist of friends and curious onlookers who enjoy seeing their friends or roommates play.

The teams consist of eight to ten people (depending on the sport) who agree upon a classy name by which their team is called. Some of these names include the Globules, Old Spice,

Not-So-Hot-Shots, the Slutterbies, and the Goodyear Blimps. Some teams prefer to play seriously to obtain the award. Most teams, however, play just to have fun. The games are not too rough, depending on the caliber of the team. The scoring varies, also.

But it is safe to say that very few tearns, men's or women's have games as high-scoring as the interscholastic teams.

Students have many reasons for joining an intramural team.

Some join to keep in shape, others to occupy their time. But most agree that they like intramurals because they like to ha ve the fun they would otherwise be deprived of by not being able to participate in interscholastics.

Think First Several weeks ago Dean Huebner gave a sermon on the wasting that takes place in the world today. He used as one of his examples the waste that is seen in our own cafeteria. How true! The examples he used were very real.

Why does a person have to take three glasses of milk when he drinks only one and a half?

Why does he have to mix his coke with his milk and then just let it sit on his tray? I'm sure you wouldn't dare try these things at home. May I suggest that you only take one or two glasses, and, then if you want more, you can go back. This not only would help the wasting problem, but it would also aid us in our "glass shortage"; we wouldn't have to use foam cups all the time.

In addition, there is the wastage of food. We realize that everyone has different tastes and some people love food that others detest. You don't have to remind us by dousing your meat in milk, or cutting it up and spreading it all over your tray, or mushing it under your plate, or stuffing it in your glass. We get the message if you just

leave it sit there. But the point is, why do you even take it in the first place?

We don't know what you like, but should you hate something, why take it? If the portions are too large, or if you don't want something that is being served with the main course, tell the server and she will gladly serve you what you wish.

If you don't like what is being served at all, there are always peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, a vegetable or soup, and salads to eat. You don't have to take a plate of food, make a mess and send it back through the dishroom. If you find yourself living on peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, the blame probably lies in your eating habits, not the kitchen's cooking.

There is really no excuse for the wasting that goes on in our school cafeteria. Remember, it is your own money that gets washed down the garbage disposal. If nothing else, report your likes and dislikes to the food committee or the servers; they will do their best to get some positive action.

Rude Awakening The bell rings sharply And once again I get up, My dreams torn in two.

I was sitting at my desk earlier this week wondering how professors could assign five-page papers on topics that could be covered in two simple sentences. It is common knowledge that the first duty of a professor is to drive the students to exhaustion, but I felt there must be some ulterior motive besides that. After all, the professor himself has to read the papers, and that in itself would justify assigning a short paper. In my mind I began covering all of the aspects concerning a "basically bull" paper from the viewpoint of the professors as opposed to the viewpoint of the students. This train of thought was broken when a radio was turned on in the room next door. Nor surprisingly, I had just spent more time analyzing these absurd thoughts than I would ever spend organizing an actual paper.

But now my thoughts were centered on the radio announcer. "A cold northern jet stream," he said, "has turned Minnesota into an ice box." What's new I thought, but he continued, "There is wide concern among New UIm officials about the excessive amounts of fuel that may be needed in the upcoming month. Some schools may be asked to close down for a week or two to conserve the fuel still available."

"Wow!" I thought. "Could I ever use a two-week break!" But being a veteran of two and a half years, I realized that rumors are more often reported than supported. So I decided to call the Weather Bureau.

"New UIm National Weather Bureau," answered a sweet voice. "Can I help you?"

"Hi," 1 said.

"Oh about minus twenty today, but it should bet up into the teens tomorrow."

"No," I said, "I meant hello."

"I'm sorry," she said. "The low will be near 37 below zero.

Would you like to know anything else?"

"Uh yes," 1 admitted, though a bit puzzled, "Was the latest weather reading correct that pressure might be put on certain New UIm schools to close?"

"We have no school closing list at this time, but the correct barometric pressure reading is 32."

"No, 1 don't think you understand," I protested. "I want to know if the city of New UIm will put less pressure on Dr. Martin Luther College than on other schools to prevent the use of too much fuel."

"I'm sorry, sir, but 1 believe You are the one who doesn't understand. Use of fuel has no effect on the pressure reading, though you are correct that the pressure on DMLC will be less than on other schools because, as you may have noticed, the school is on a bit of a hill. May 1 suggest that you buy our new book Meteorologist in a Minute. 1think it might help you to straighten out your concept of how the weather does work."

"And may I suggest that you spend a good day with an ear doctor. Itwould be a goodbuy for you."

"Well thank you - and a good day and good bye to you too."

And with that she hung up on me.

Lack of communication. I could write a whole paper on it.

Blasphemy icont. from p.

Groundhog Prophesies More Winter Groundhog Day, a popular tradition in the United States, was celebrated on February 2.

It's the day that the groundhog, or woodchuck, comes out of his hole after a long winter sleep to look for hisshadow.lfhe sees it, he regards it as an omen of six or more weeks of bad weather and returns to his hole. If the day is cloudy, hence, shadowless, he takes it as a sign of coming spring and stays above ground.

The tradition, which sometimes includes the bear or badger, stems from similar beliefs associated with Candlemas (also February 2) when

spring planting began in England.

Anold English song about this day says: If Candlemas be fair and bright, Come, winter, have another flight; If Candlemas bring clouds and rain, 1.0, winter, and come not again.

This year, according to Pennsylvania's report, the groundhog saw his shadow and dove back into his comfortable hole. According to tradition, we are to keep our long underwear on and the shovels handy.

2)

The matter of blasphemy is not something which can be taken lightly by a Christian. It's not on the same level as other controversial matters of ethics, morals or political beliefs. A Christian can't stand by and watch such blasphemy of the Most High God without letting his voice be heard in outraged protest. For 1believe that if we do not at least make an attempt to stop such appalling happenings, and if we continue to worry about stepping on someone's toes by invading their rights, we will feel God's righteous wrath upon ourselves and our proud and mighty nation. I feel that in the case of blasphemy my rights as a Christian are being trampled on. I also believe tbat silence in this matter is equal to denial, and if we deny Christ before men on earth, He will deny us before His Father in heaven.

So,onwardChristian soldiers!

Let's help stamp out blasphemy in the media before it stamps out our faith in Christ and spreads through our country, rotting our morality like a dreaded disease, leaving eternal death in its path.

Lancerettes Play Tough Season Making it to the State Tournament is on the mind of all the DMLC women's basketball players. Attempting to defend their title as State Champion is proving to be a very formidable task. The Lancerettes have had a busy schedule since the Christmas vacation, and the rest of the season appears to be just as busy. The Lancerettes lost an excellent guard in Mary Ruth Bush and have had some trouble regrouping around the leadership of Lois Luedtke and Rachel Kaesmeyer, the two remaining starters from last year's championship team, The girls are also beginning to experience the problems of battling with much larger colleges which have the resources to recruit.

The Lancerettes jumped into competition against St. Cates the first weekend after returning from vacation. st. Cates outran them 71 - 28 for the Lancerettes' biggest defeat of the season. Except for Rachel Kaesmeyer's 18 points, there was no scoring punch.

Although leading by 10 points at one time, the B team lost also by a score of 37 - 44. St. Cates went ahead with almost 2 minutes left in the game and then put it on ice by scoring several quick layups. Kay Shambeau pumped in 12 points for the Lancerettes and Peg Priem pulled down 13rebounds.

Next came a game with Mankato State, always a tough and exciting match up. The game started out very close with Mankato leading by only 1 point after about 10 minutes.

Using an effective fast break, Mankato surged ahead to lead by 16 at halftime. They continued to build on their lead stretching the margin to more than 20 points at one time. In the last 8 minutes the Lancerettes began a comeback, but they fell short in their effort, losing by 14. Lois Luedtke was the leading scorer for DMLCwith 16points.

The B team, looking for their first victory of the season, got blown away in the second half and lost 59 - 30.

The varsity then traveled up to Bemidji (known as Burrmidji by the team) for a weekend tournament. Most of the best teams in the state were present at the tournament. In their first game the Lancerettes encountered a very talented and tall University of Minnesota team. A couple of six footers for the U of M gobbled in the rebounds making it almost impossible for the short Lancerette team to hit the boards with any consistency. Although the DMLC offense was rather stifled, the scoring attack was balanced.

The second game at the tournament was against Bemidji State. Lois Luedtke and Rachel Haesmeyer both contributed 18 points in a losing effort. Behind by only 8 at half time, the Lancerettes were worn down the second half by the versatile and deep BSU team. The final score was 80 46.

The next week featured a game with Augsburg. DMLC put it all together and emerged with a 75 - 50 victory. Rachel Kaesmeyer went wild scoring 37 points, 16 field goals and 5 free throws. Lois Luedtke and Ann Steffen also scored in double figures for the Lancerettes.

The next weekend brought another tournament sending the Lancerettes up to Moorhead, Minnesota. The team had a dismal weekend dropping all three games by rather large margins. Fouls seemed to be a major problem in all the games.

Inthe opening game against the University of North Dakota, the Lancerettes lost 83 - 55. Kathy Juroff, Ann Steffen, and Karen Putz all fouled out, and three other players finished the game with 4 fouls each. The girls played hard, but could not overcome the disadvantage of having three starters out which forced others to play out of position. Rachel Kaesmeyer led all scorers from both teams with 25 points. The next game with Moorhead went about the same way. Moorhead won 63 51 with a balanced attack. The Lancerettes' final game of the

weekend was against Concordia-Moorhead.

Concordia emerged with a 72 - 51 victory.

Rachel Kaesmeyer and Ann Steffen combined to score 35 of the team's 51 points.

The team was scheduled to play several games over the semester break, but due to bad weather and roads all the games were cancelled. Five games remain in the season, and all of them figure to be very exciting. The Lancerettes will conclude the season against the U of Minnesota before journeying to Winona for district tournaments.

Their performance there will determine whether or not they will return to the State Tournament in an effort to hold on to their championship title.

The Lancer wrestlers are making an impressive showing this season, winning four of their last seven matches.

Frequent winners include 126 lb. Greg Starn, 158 lb. Bill Whitney, and 190 lb. Bill Plamann. Our 167 pounder, Al Greschner, is back in action after a hand injury and is still undefeated. Craig Winkler, a tough 177 pounder, missed the Jan. 29 match with Bethany because of a shoulder injury.

Other regulars on the team include 134 lb. Roger Kramp, 142 lb. Dave Dahl, and heavyweight Larry Czer.

Results of recent matches are as follows: Northland 39 DMLC 11, DMLC 27 - Northwestern 9, DMLC 24 Hamline 15, Concordia 26 DMLC33, DMLC33 - Gustavus Adolphus 23, DMLC 30 Pillsbury 20, Bethany 33 DMLC 16.

Looking ahead, we hope to do well in the MRCC Tournament Feb. 19.

'A Party For Two' Delights Campus The loving couple plans the next trick they will play on each other.

¡ Word

Sprea dlI This coming Easter vacation, three students from DMLC and eight from Northwestern will travel to Englewood, Florida, to canvass-witness in connection with Lutheran Collegians. The pastor of the church in Englewood wrote to the Lutheran Collegians chapter in Milwaukee asking for volunteers; the Milwaukee chapter passed his request on to college students throughout the Synod.

Unlike the foot-in-door methods of leaflet-passing religious enthusiasts, these students hope to spread the message of our Savior's love through Biblical methods of evangelism. They learned this approach from our Synod's Talk About the Savior notebook and Lutheran Collegian retreats.

Biblical evangelism training is just one aspect of the work done by our Synod's Special Services Committee through the Lutheran Collegians. Their primary concern is helping' young people on public campuses grow spiritually through Bible study, devotions, and discussions of pertinent topics.

Since we on our campus are encouraged dally to.grow in the Lord, we do not have a need for a specific Lutheran Collegians chapter. However, some of the' activities sponsored by the Lutheran Collegians may interest us.

Evangelism training workshops are held in various places throughout the year.

This past Christmas vacation our campus hosted the annual evangelism seminar. Retreats are held on topics of interest to young people, such as "Witchcraft, Satanism, and the Occult," "Humanism on Campus, " and "Christian Marriage and Home."

Choirs Work for Service "At the Name of Jesus Every Knee Shall Bow" is the theme of the upcoming Choral Vespers Service which will be presented at 8:00 P.M., on Sunday, March 20, in the Luther Memorial Union. The Bible readings chosen for this sacred choral service center on Christ's humiliation and exaltation and on man's response to them.

Between these passages, read

by Professor Kuster, several choral selections will be performed by the DMLC and Academy choirs.

One number, Heinrich Schuetz's "For God So Loved The World," will be done by the Chapel Choir, under the direction of Professor Ronald ShillIng. The Treble Choir will be singing "Triumphant From The Grave," a selection written for them by their director, Professor Bruce Backer. The College Chorale, directed by Professor James Engel, and accompanied by the String Ensemble, will also take part in the service, singing Dietrich Buxtehude's "Every Word and Thought." The combined choirs will present selected verses from Psalm 72, with the Brass Ensemble providing accompaniment. A special feature of this service will be the singing of a new hymn written especially for the occasion, accompanied by senior Deb Voss on the organ.

Chuckles and outright laughs came in waves down from the top of the auditorium. Everyone turned around and strained his neck and eyes in the dark auditorium to see the two whitemasked figures come down the stairs, snap two small folding benches and sit - obviously to watch the play that would begin shortly. When no actors appeared, they investigated the stage and became the actors themselves.

The two were Barbra Berlovitz and Dominique Serrand, from the touring Guthrie Theater, doing a pantomime called "A Party For Two." The first part, "Jeux de Masques" (Mask Game), was a sort of love story. Although no words were spoken, the sounds of teartng paper and zlaahlng swords delighted the audience and provoked countless moments of total enjoyment for the audience and a number of sad sighs and "Ahhhh's."

In the second part, PAF, the sounds of knitting needles, sea gulls, waves and splashes were used inone section to tell a story about a couple, starting from the young discovery stage to the almost bitter stage of old age.

-Pantomime (Greek for "all mimic") is usually short. The Guthrie's performance took only 30 to 45 minutes each for

each section and as the name suggests, uses no words.

The origin of mime is unknown, but actors and everyday people have always used it.

Think of the gestures of a speaking actor - sometimes they say more than the words.

Today we are aware of the use of mime in our normal living.

We call it body language.

We do know that pantomime became very popular in the early ,Roman empire where large masks, somewhat similar to the ones worn by Ms. Berlovitz and Mr. Serrand, were employed. Pantomime returned on the Italian and English stages during the 1700's and 1800's. Three characters were basically used; a clown named Harlequin, a lovable father, ' Pantaloon; 'and '8' charming daughter, Columbine.

Now pantomime has again been made popular by Marcel Marceau, the French mimist who has touched many people by acting out many stories, usually alone on stage with few stage props, using only graceful movements to reveal a touching story. Music and sound effects coupled with the actors' dancing and acrobatic acts makes mime what it is. The Guthrie production, used the sound of the surf and gulls, the clanging fire bell, the onomtopoeia (SPLASH! or Knit, Knit, Knit)

along with cartwheels and belly Ilops to set the character attitude, place and time. Minus these noises and actions the actor would have had a much harder time getting the audience to understand and appreciate the story.

Both Ms. Berlovitz and Mr. Serrand studied mime in Paris, France. Ms. Berlovitz is a Minnesotan, born in Minneapolis and is an alumna of tbe University of Minnesota. She studied in France for two years and has appeared on a number of stages both in France and in the U.S. Dominique Serrand is a native of Paris, France and studied mime there for a number of years. He founded the Theatre Orange in Paris. He 11180 . wl;ote and performed "Ferme Le Yeux, Ouvre La Porte." Last year the two worked together at the Guthrie and did workshops and classes through the Guthrie Outreach program.

"A Party for Two" will tour for 11 weeks, visiting 49 communities, traveling about 10,000 miles and will entertain a total of about 35,000 people. A full house came to see the performance at DMLC and it certainly seemed like 8 full house enjoyed it. Thanks to the the Drama Club for bringing" A Party For Two" to our stage.

In the harvest years, the Wife (Barbara Berlovitz) and the Husband (Dominique Serrand) relive some of life's sweetest and sourest memories in 'A Party For Two', The Guthrie Theater's touring production.

Can you believe it? In keeping with school tradition, the calendar is finally approaching Easter just as the students are approaching exhaustion. The thought of Easter vacation brings a feellng of eager anticipatinn to the hearts of students and professors alike. Itis more than just the anticipation of Easter. It is the realization that the student's most excruciating experience is finally drawing to a close. That experience - the monotonous month of March.

Now I don't mean to imply that the month of March is any less exciting than February, April, or any other month. Implication would be too inconclusive. I mean to state it as a fact. In all areas the once-fascinating school year is becoming bogged down with repetition and the once-energetic student is becoming apathetic.

Classes that formerly had appeal have become old hat. Every history lecture sounds like a form letter with different names and dates put into the meaningless blanks. Lesson plans that were once viewed optimistically as busy work are now seen realistically as dull tedium.

Meals that were once able to tantalize the tastebuds as they melted in the mouth have now been referred as evidence to the SPOILS (Society for the Prevention of Inhumanly Lousy Sustenance). In an effort to curb this trend, the kitchen has come up with an ingeniously invented supper meal. By crossing a potato with a sponge, they have come up with a new meal that doesn't taste like much, but it surely soaks up a lot of gravy. Needless to say, their efforts have been to no avail.

Extracurricular activities have also hit an all time low. Excitement over Mud Carnival was able to carry us through February, but March has not been blessed with similar luck. April has its Musical and May its Spring Banquet, but the prodigal March has been stripped of everything including Entertainment Bonanza, leaving it destitute of dynamic doings.

In thesports world, we find activity at a virtual standstill. The basketball team has finished its hoopla and the wrestlers have met their match. The most intense competition on campus is between the tennis court snow and the baseball diamond snow, where each tries to hold on longer than the otber.

Even tbe renowned weekend has become cut-and-dried. (Is nothing sacred?) On Friday one unwinds from the previous week.

Saturday is spent in blissful oblivion, free from worries about past progress or future failures .. Sunday is a half-day of rest followed by one good meal bIIforeone winds up for another week. When even the weekends become routine, It's time for 8 change.

And so we have been blessed with Easter vacation. A time the students see as a restful reprieve from repulsive studies and a time the profs see 8S a week-long study period. Different strokes for different folks as they say. Anyway, have a happy Easter and don't study too much. Or as one gink (possibly of a certain educational profession) put it, "Have a studious Easter and don't be happy too much." I guess you get the picture. ,

'March Came in Like a••., The small, woolly lamb wiggled his nose, fluttered his eyelids, and wondered as he lay in his soft bed of sweet smelling hay what the day had in store for him. The sun's rays came pouring in through the nearby window. As the sun wrapped the young lamb in his warm arms, the lamb gave a sigh. Suddenly the lamb popped open his huge, brown eyes. He leaped to his feet and ran from the barn.

Today was the first of March and he must hurry off to Calendar Lane to find March Street. When he found March Street he would enter March Land. Today the New Year would decide who wouid enter March Land first: the young lamb or the roaring lion.

As the young lamb sharply turned off February Street onto Calendar Lane, he spied the handsome lion. The huge lion was lazily lying in the tall, green grass and enjoying the warm sun. His head was surrounded by a thick mass of

Band to Serenade Us Have you ever heard a musical selection in which the musicians play only their mouthpieces, not the whole instrmnent? You'll have the opportunity to hear this unusual piece by attending the concert presented by the DMLC bands on Thursday. March 24, at 8:00 p.m. in the college auditorium.

Ahighlight of the concert will be Edvard Grieg's "1st Piano Concerto in A Minor," performed by guest pianist John McKay of Gustavus Adolphus College with the Concert Band Ensemble.

Taking a Closer Look An intense study done on a Tuesday afternoon when all but boredom was left to choose from, etc.

At first appearance it would seem that Oedipus and Hamlet were quite different in nature but at closer observance it might be noticed that both men, althougb different, might handle certain situations in the same manner, motives perhaps being different. I'll try to pick out important passages of both plays switch characters and more or less assume what role they would have played had their natures been involved. It might happen that no overt change will be made but, underneath, motives can-be seen to be different. Two different snakes' may both look readyto attack while one is in dead earnest the other may be only faking and trying to intimidate.

Hamlet Taking for granted that story lines of both plays are remembered (I don't want to make this thing too long by giving both the original story line along with the new), I'll start with Hamlet the KIng or, if you prefer, Hamlet Rex. As we all remember, Hamlet has sent

creon to the Delphic oracle for the purpose of finding out why the land was going down the drain (we all remember there was something rotten in Thebes). Hamlet realizes that he must find out who killed Laius but he isn't one of your blood-shedders so he tries to get someone else to do the avenging. When he sees that he is the only one for the job he mumbles something to himself about his regret for ever solving that stupid riddle. He makes a plea for anyone knowing anything to· come forth. He promises justice for any and all but be doesn't know who will carry it out. When Hamlet finds out there is a witness, some shepherd, he hopes they don't find him so things might blow over. When things do start to unravel, Hamlet realizes that perhaps he is guilty, as so many seem to express. Just when the evidence is almost overwhelming (at this time he asks the famous question, "To be or not to be") against him he receives further news that his father has dled, thus meaning he can't kill his father anymore (we all remember the curse, I hope).

Well, just when Hamlet is

brown hair that moved slowly with the wind.

"Corne! Hurry!" cried tbe young lamb to the lazy lion.

"You can't sleep now! We'll be late!"

The handsome lion gazed lazily at the frantic lamb. He opened his mouth and yawned loudly.

"I wouldn't mind if the New Year chose you to enter March first," claimed the lazy lion gruffly. "I'm much too tired to make March come roaring in."

"Never mind what you want," said the lamb. "Come!

Hurry! We must not keep New Year waiting." The handsome lion slowly got up and casually walked beside the frantic lamb Mter some time had gone by they finally reached March Street. The New Year was pacing back and forth in front of the Gates of March Land. He paused now and then to look down Calendar Lane. When he saw the young lamb and the handsome lion he stopped his

Deginning to relax he finds out about the fact that these were not his real parents but that they had only adopted him. A herdsman (who doubled as a troubador) informed him of this and thus Hamlet realized that the snowball he threw at that royal party so long ago must really have somehow caused the death of his father and cursed be the match-maker that had set him up with his mother (she was ugly anyway). Hamlet had no intentions of punishing himself but he tripped and fell on a saber, only scratching himself, but some bloke had poisoned it, so he died.

Oedlpus Mter at first mistaking his father's ghost for a poor imitation of a sphinx, Oedipus promises to get to the bottom of the mess no matter if he has to kill himself. He forsakes his girl and he goes straight to the king and asks him whether he has killed Oedipus' father and married Oedipus' mother.

When the king says no, it leaves Oedlpus at a loss for a second but then he gets this brilliant idea to get some troubadors (who moonlight as shepherds) (cont. on p, 3)

The theme for the concert, A Grand Serenade in Celebration of Spring, was taken from the title of the unusual piece mentioned earlier. This piece is "Grand Serenade for an Awful Lot of Winds and Percussion," written by P.D.Q. Bach (born 1807, died 1742). Inthis piece the audience can hear bits and pieces of familiar songs in unusual arrangements.

The DMLC bands will also play a medley of songs from Hammerstein and Kern's "Show Boat." A well-known Sousa march, "Semper Fidelis," will also be played.

Celebrate the arrival of spring by corning to A Grand Serenade in Celebration of Spring on Thursday, March 24, at 8:00 p.m.

To the Editor Talking, laughing, gossiping, giggling; where is this all happening? Why in our library, of course! If one were to visit the library and the student union on our campus he might • ha ve a difficult time distinguishing the difference between the two.

We recognize the fact that some conversation must take place in the library, but there Is a difference between talking and whispering. There's also a difference between WHISPERING and whispering.

The library is a 'place of study and should have a quiet atmosphere. Those who wish to visit and talk should at least make an effort to whisper quietly and at best walk over to the union to have their conversation.

The library is a place for quiet, meditative thinking and studying. Those who are interested in this type of activity would appreciate It if .those interested in other activities would go elsewhere.

pacing and ran toward them.

"It's about time!" he shouted.

"I had to tell the sky to foim clouds because of you two. How am I to run Calendar Country if \ you can't be on time?" Before the lamb or the lion could answer, the New Year continued, "Lamb,you will go in first this year. And, Lion, you will end March this year. Good-by," and off he rushed.

"You see," said the lazy lion, "I could have continued my nap."

The lion yawned loudly again, then flopped onto the long grass, near the Gates of March Land.

"You had better rush, Little Lamb," said the lion. "I'm going to rest, so I will be refreshed for my going out," and he closed his eyes.

The little lamb yelled good-by across his .shoulder, and bounced into March Land.

(Note: March did enter like a lamb, but the lion quickly followed, bringing a winter storm on March 2.)

Cindy Zahn and Karen Krueger give us a very convincing portrayal of puppy love. . .

'Tnventionst'Fheme Highlights 1977 Snow Carnival The 1977 version of Snow Carnival got under way bright and early Saturday morning, February 5. It was a fast beginning as this year's broom ball teams frantically swept each other around the Westside Rink. For a group of girls from Hillview II, however, it was a "Clean Sweep" as their team, headed by Doris Brassow, took the women's division. The "Hill City Gang," led by Dave Noack and Steve Beilke topped the men's division. The broomball games seemed to set the pace for the rest of the busy week.

After Saturday night's basketball game, the student body was introduced to the queen candidates: Cindy Bretschneider, Carol Gergen, Kay-Lynn Graubner, Peggy Jeffers, Carol Kraft, LuAnn Rieger, and Vicky Zietlow.

These seven ladies were Junior Class members, chosen by their fellow classmates to reign over this year's Snow Carnival.

Sunday night Cindy Zahn and Karen Krueger were co-hosts, as each class put on its skit. The skits centered around this year's theme, "Inventions," anything that has influenced the life-style of the Americans. It was also the night that the student body was to vote on the queen talent competition, a very difficult job indeed.

Wednesday night, which might be labeled the climax of

the competition, the student body was captivated' as each spot-lighted girl walked (tripped! ) through the auditorium with her escort.

Each of the contestants was a queen representing her class, representing this student body, representing the fun, laughter, hard work, and enthusiasm prevalent on the campus. The high point of the celebration took place' when last "year's queen, Cindy Zahn, crowned LuAnn Rieger, who with her court, ruled over the rest of Snow Carnival week.

That night "The Kids of 1977," directed by Bonnie Schulmeister, put the theme, "Inventions," to music. They highlighted their presentation by pointing out that even though this world is always changing, always becoming more modem, our Lord changeth not. Jan and Joel Nelson, Mistress and Master of Ceremonies, ended the evening by giving us a song.

Friday night was actionpacked. During halftime of the women's basketball game, the gymnasts from Turner Hall showed the vjewers their flexible skills. Afterwards, the "Stage Show" was emceed by Riley Westphal and Rick Lohmiller, who took the audience by hook, line, and "stinker."

Those watching the show saw once again what fantastic talents this campus has. The

performers were all excellent.

Their efforts and hard work were truly appreciated by the audience.

Saturday, during the halftime of the men's basketball game, the Color Guard once again captivated the audience as they showed m arching and flag skills, acquired after many hours of hard practice. The Pom-Pon Girls also performed.

After the game, various students and classes wererewarded. The queens decided that Bob Pagel, who won the beard-raising contest, had the thickest, softest beard. Because of lack of snow, a mural was ,made by each class portraying something of the theme, "inventions." The Juniors walked away with this award, and with it, the over-all Snow Carnival Award. This award was in the form of a plaque that hopefully will not get lost as two previous plaques have! After the awards were all received, the "Sadie Hawkins" 'movie was shown.

So, another Snow Carnival has come and gone. This year's was certainly the greatest.

There was always something going on. The committee, headed by Dean Zemple and Wendy Schwichtenberg, put in many hours of hard work.

Collegiate Council reminds you to stay tuned for the next big event, the Entertainment Bonanza, March 26.

Closer Look

to put on a play re-enacting how Oedipus visualizes the plot to have taken place. He watches as the king and his mother watch the play. Oedipus, not being as sly and cunning as Hamlet was, back in the time of the Greeks, notices no reactions by the king or his mother and then decides to have Norman Lear write a second play.

The second play does prove to cause a reaction. Both the king and Oedipus' mother are dying of laughter. Oedipus, sensing this to be giving them away, challenges the king to a sword fight, but he kills his girlfriend by accident. The king is accidentally buried instead of the girlfriend (he succumbed to laughter and passed out).

Oedipus, undone by the mistake realizes he needs to go to a

second funeral and seeing as they can't bury on Sunday, has to look at his dead girlfriend until Monday. The thought maddens him and he pokes his own eyes out with her two-inch fingernails. Along with his best friend Horatio, he exiles himself to England to tend bar for the liberals of Parliament.

Epilog Oedipus might seem shorter than Hamlet Rex, an apparent contradition to laws of nature that say the Greek drama has no buildup while the Shakesperean does. But I heard from a reliable source that Oedipus had to be squeezed in during Monday night football and Little House on the Pralrte, thus cutting it down to a halfhour program.

Junior class members demonstrate proper driving procedures in this model lesson.

DMLC will miss the contribution of three senior players next year, Lois Luedtke, Kathy Juroff, and Jo Groth. It is hoped that the experience that underclassmen got this year will payoff next year. And who knows, just maybe we'll be lucky enough to get a couple of six foot freshmen stars next year.

Hymnody Sessions Held

On Thursday and Friday, March 24 and 25, no music classes were held for the students of Martin Luther College. For those two short days, the professors.of the Music Division "were on the other side of the fence." They were involved inan in-service training forum. The guest lecturer for this training forum, Dr. M. Alfred Bichsel, was invited to lead the music faculty in a discussion and study of "Hymnody 'lbrough the Ages."

Dr. Bichsel is the retiring chainnan Qf the Church Music Department, Eastman School of Music, Rochester, New York, and is well versed in all aspects and periods of hymnody. For he studied in

If you're interested in art or science at all, then the place for you to be is the DMLC campus the weekend of May 6, 7, 8. That weekend both the Phlogistons' Science Fair and the Children's Art Fair will be held. Even if you don't know that much about either category, don't be shy!

Feel free to come and look around. It will prove to be not onlyan educational experience, but also quite enjoyable as well.

The Phlogistons is the college science club here on campus. It has been started up again, after being inactive for several years., The club has extended invitations to all Christian grade schools and high schools in Minnesota to participate in the fair. St. Paul's grade school of New Ulrn should be one of the top contributors, with over 65 entries, The exhibits will be

placed ondisplay on the stage in the gymnasium. These projects, which show scientific thought and a large amount of creative ability, will be judged by the students who belong to the Phlogistons. Each entrant, will receive a certificate for his or her accomplishment.

This same weekend, the Art Club will be hosting an art fair.

They have invited all of the Lutheran grade schools to participate so there should be quite a showing. The art works will be on display in the library building on Saturday and Sunday, May 7 and 8. The ar, work will be judged by the members of Art Club.

Take the time out to come over and just browse around the various exhibits that will be here on campus in May. It willbe very much worth your time.

What's So Good About Spring?

Backer,

edeemer Lives"! a poll 10see rivchun::hessangHymn Sunday, I think find that the majority of ,our Wisconsin Synod churches think quite highly of this powerfulhymn. Iam referring, of course, 10 the hymn "I know that My, Bedeemer Lives."

Wheli this is sung on Easter morning, the organist usually pulls out all the stops, at least on the Jast stanza, and everyone sings at the t.:p of his lungs, because this hymn expresses the joy we all feel at Eastertime. "He lives" .. I know that my Redeemer Lives." But what happens after Easter? Why doesn't this joy last?

Could it be that most people actually don't believe what they sing in this hymn? Do you actually think of the words when you're singing this hymn or are you just caught up in the excitement of it 8JJ? This hymn doesn't just apply at Eastertime; it applies all the time.

Listen to some of the phrases this hymn uses. "I know that my Redeemer lives; What comfort this sweet sentence gives." Comfort, comfort from our God who "Lives to bless me with His love" and will "help in time of need." So often we, especially as students, forget , about this comfort and this help which is so freely offered to us.

Felruary and March come along with their usual load of tests and papers, and the

morale of the whole school goes way down. Why? Aren't we forgetting something? Thank the Lord that He doesn't forget us. To provide enough comfort there's another hymn that is quite well known and offers us some sound advice in its refrain, "Take it to the Lord in Prayer."

Stanza five of hymn 200 says, "He lives to silence all my fears, He lives to wipe away my tears, He lives to calm my

troubled heart, He lives all blessings to impart." A card now being sold in the bookstore puts it another way when it says, "Even when you feel alone, God is there."

The next time you sing hymn' 200, remember that It wasn't written just to praise God, it was written to you, to remind you of the comfort and joy we can have by faith in Jesus Christ. This is a comfort and joy which is present all year round.

Speakers Compete TheForensic team has had an active spring. The first speech encounter was at Normandale Junior College in Bloomlngtcn, Minn. Nine contestants participated in the March 15 meet.

This was the first time the team competed this year. Ramona Owens advanced into the finals ofthe Expository category, but failed to place. Others that competed were John Kehl, Poetry Interpretation; Lynn Craker and Linda Nowack in Prose Interpretation; Cindy Seevers,' Dawn Brooks. and Robin Meers in Expository Speaking; Rich Carver in Humorous Speaking; and Larry Czer in Extemporaneous Speaking.

The last meet took place in

Bloomington at the Normandale Invitational on March 25and 26.

Since this was an overnight event, the team stayed at the Holiday Inn. Only four members of the team competed in this meet, with Kehl, Owens, and Czer progressing into the semi-final round, but failing to place. The competition was tough with over twenty schools entered. After Friday's competition, the team was given a tour of downtown Minneapolis and downtown St. Paul by their leader, Prof. Kuster.

The team is eager to get started early for next fall.

Anyone interested in participating in any event' should contact Prof. Kuster or Larry Czer before the year ends.

From the Editor Youcan always tell whenever a teacher hands back papers or tests in class. The rest of that day his students can be heard making comments such as, "I studied. Why didn't he give me a higher grade?" Or when a paper or lesson plan is due, everyone is wishing he could have more time to get it done, or that the teacher would not insist upon perfect handwriting.

I wish we would have perfect teachers. The perfect teacher would give everyone top grades, provide extra time to hand in assignments, understand and forgive sloppy work, and love us for just being as we are. Doesn't that sound like the ideal school situation? We could all coast through school and not worry about anything.

Stop and think about that for a minute. We are here at DMLC to become teachers in God's kingdom. How can we expect to teach if we do not know what we are talking about? Top grades for no work means we would not be learning anything. The most important thing we will be bringing the children is the Word of God. We would be doing the children much harm if we would allow them to get top grades without learning anything from the Bible or catechism.

How many times when we become teachers will we be able to have extra time to prepare for class or a meeting? Having due dates for assignments teaches us to plan our time wisely in order to get everything done. By handing in neat papers, we can learn neatness and set an example for the children in our classes.

Our teachers are not "perfect" as we might wish they would be. But everything they tell us will probably be put to use in our own classrooms. Possibly in about 20 years some of the present students of DMLCwill be teachers here. They will probably be telling their classes the same things we hear now, and they will be hearing the same type of grumbling that goes on now. We may not like having to work for our grades, or getting assignments in on time, or doing neat work, but our "imperfect" teachers want us to become able teachers in God's kingdom.

Orchestra Tunes Up

Dedicated orchestra members work at putting the music together for another fantastic show.

Wasn't that a great Easter vacation? I came back so rested and refreshed I felt like I could take on the world. Ten minutes into my first Tuesday class I was back to reality. But the full effect of a week's vacation was not completely worn off after the first day 'of school. I made it through classes in fine shape, found the meals somewhat interesting yet, and even found time for an after-chapel nap.

To my dismay, however, I soon discovered that I had gotten enough sleep in classes that day to make up for a nap. So I decided to visit an old friend whom I had learned over Easter was a new tr~nsfer to DMLC.He lived in Summit Hall and I off campus, which might explain why we hadn't met earlier. .

As I approached his room I noticed that his hall was the only one in the dorm that wasn't lighted. It could have been a catastrophe if I hadn't been wearing my Converse Allstars. The neatly waxed floor was well hidden in the dark hall and my tennies were all that stood between me and a tremendous wipe-out. I slid dOwn the hall. grabbed lit the nearest doorknob, and pulled myself to safety. As I opened the door I could just make out a form that said, "Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't hear you knock. Please come in." It was the voice of myoid friend. . "Could I turn the light on?" I asked. "Oh, sure," said my friend, sneezing. "I was just saving electricity while I listen to my Schenk tape."

"We~," I replied, remembering the darkened hall, "Why don't you turn It up and maybe I could help you out."

"No, (cough) I couldn't do that," he said clicking his recorder off. "It'~supposed to be quiet during study period for Academy, and, besides, the professors don't look lightly upon collaboration on (cough) worksheets." . .

"It ~unds like you've caught a cold," I said, trying to change the subject.

"Yeah, I was out in the rain a lot today," he wheezed, on the verge of a sneeze.

"Doing what?" I asked.

"I helped the band director carry band stuff from the Music Center to the Academic Center."

"But that isn't that far," I insisted.

"It was today. The side doors were locked and the walk by Old Main was dug up for repair, so we had to walk around the Music Hall and Summit Hall to get the job done."

"You could have used a car or cut across the lawn to save time," I suggested.

"No I couldn't," he said. "Only owners may operate cars ..and I don't own one. You can only park in your proper parking place and that's a longer walk than the way-we went. And walking o~ the grass ruins it."

I vaguely remembered reading something to that effect in my Freshman year handbook. "Why didn't you put a sign up in the lunch line asking for help?" I asked.

"I was tempted," he admitted, "but the book says not to put announcements on walls; just on bulletin boards, so I just couldn't."

I was beginning to doubt his sanity, but just then our conversation was interrupted by a loud bone-crunching "thud" in the hallway. "What's that?" I asked.

"It sounds like the RA·with my pills," he replied calmly.

"When I was sick this noon the nurse was out to lunch, so I went to c~assesanyway. Now I have pneumonia and the RA has to bring my pills up every four hours. It serves him right, falling like that. He assigned me to clean the floor so he deserves to slip a few times on the new wax."

Now I was really bewildered, so I awkwardly excused myself when the RA entered the room. Slithering down the hall, I couldn't help but wonder what the world was coming to.

I was still shaking my head when my roommate woke me up "What's impossible?" he said, "Were you dreaming?" . '.'Yeah," I answered, but I was thinking, "What a relief. It Is possible to followall of those rules; but only in a dream."

By this time, everybody on 'campus should be able to tell that a musical is in preparation.

Many people are learning the lines and songs of AnnIe, Get Your Gun, and many notices are posted announcing practice times. One very important group of people involved in the musical is the orchestra.

The orchestras for the .musicals on campus never seem to get much attention, unless it is when something goes wrong in a song. One can see and hear the individual singers and actors, but one sees and hears the orchestra only' as a group.· This year's orchestra iii larger than the orchestras of the past few years, consisting' of approximately 25 musicians.

These faithful members meet three or four times a week for an hour to rehearse all· the music for the musical. These rehearsals are hard work, but there is time for fun.

Agood example of the fun is a recent Sunday afternoon practice. The conductor, Jeff Hugo, started out on the wrong foot by being several minutes late, thus setting a bad example for the orchestra members.

Cindy Koeplin, Sue Roland, and Paul Schierenbeck arrived to practice the songs of Act 1. This was the first time the orchestra members had heard most of the songs, so many of them missed their entrances because they were listening to the singers.

After practicing each song several times with the singers, the orchestra was able to get through the songs.

The musical director, Jo Moeller, also arrived to check on the progress of the orchestra.

After listening to several of tile songs she told Conductor Hugo which songs should be played slower (which brought smiles and cheers from the orchestra) and which songs had to be played faster (which brought groans). Director Moeller then attempted to conduct the orchestra and promptly lost her place in the music while the orchestra played on..

At another rehearsal two of -the clarinets discovered they were slightly out of tune, producing a sound which had been causing a lot of nasty looks from front their they

That isn't exactly how the poem is usually worded, but it is applicable. This is the time of the vernal equinox (a term we all should remember from physical geography) when the days begin to get longer and warmer, and the vegetation and some students begin to look alive again. It is now when the sports-minded turn from the stuffy basketball court (no pun intended) to the great outdoors.

The .basketballs are put away for a year, and out come the softballs, bats, gloves, and even

Tryouts for women's softball began already the first -of March. They were held for about three weeks in the gym because of the ground's being soggy outside. Nineteen people survived the' cuts; however, some may hesitate to stay on the team, because only fourteen or fifteen will be able to play with regularity in the games.

Coach Sue Post is giving the others the option of staying with the team or joining intramural softball. Returning lettermen this year are Jo Groth, Rachel Kaesmeyer, Karen Schwarz, Ann Steffen, and Mona Pinske. (cont. on p. 4)

Sluggers' Eye Victory The Lancer nine has a hopeful outlook for 1977. All but two regulars return from last year's successful team. The Lancers lost one player through graduation and one through injury Dick Huebner.

Huebner was an all-conference catcher last year and will be out for most of the season. "We'll go as far as our pitchers take us," is the comment and hope expressed by Coach Marvin Meihack. The pitching staff, the Lancer's long-time strength, consists of Don Groth, Greg Thiesfeldt, Mark Tacke, Paul Tess and freshman Larry Sellnow.

Meihack said we should watch for DMLC to be in the thick of the action along with

North Central Bible, Northwe-stern-Roseville "and COncordia for conference honors. DMLC also faces ever strong Dordt and Mankato State Jaycees.

The Lancers operate on a "hot" system: whichever players are performing well at the time will play. In a short season no more can be asked of the team.

Other returning players include Ron "Boomer" Ohm, Monte-Huntington, Leo Frese, and Bob Huebner. The strong nucleus back from last year, with several promising freshmen, make DMLC a threat to win the conference championship.

could not return. Rust's bench strength was also excellent, offsetting our hopes to come back with our own reserve play.

Athalf, the Lancers, plagued by poor outside shooting, found themselves down by 24 points, 49-25.

The second half brought only more of the same. The second half shooting improved but it was already too late to get back into the game. Rust continued their excellent play, and wound up winning by that final score of 10!Hl7.

Final statistics showed nwnerous turnovers asa telling factor, many caused by aggressive defensive play by Rust, and resulting in _some easy buckets for them. Leading scorers for the Lancers were Senior Greg Thiesfeldt with 14 points, Freshman Jim Unke with 12, and Junior Rick Lohmiller with 10.

Lancers Lose Out On- March 5 the Lancer basketball team played Rust College of Holly Springs, Mississippi in the 1977National Little College Basketball Tournament held in Norfolk, Nebraska. The results were far from good, however, as Rust won going away, 10!Hl7.

The Lancers certainly did not have the luck of the draw. Rust College went on to win the tournament and was described as easily being the best team there. Led by 6'9" small college All-American John Outlaw, noted -for his 32" vertical leaping ability, the Rust team made the Lancers work.

The team attempted to establish a slow game tempo, hoping to counteract Rust's speed and quickness. This did not succeed, as Rust used their height to score. Junior guard Dick Huebner fractured his forearm early in the game, and

Also returning from last year are Maribeth Hahnke, Deb Hoeting, Nancy Kolb, Carol Buelow. and- Karen Sell.

The season begins with a double-header on _Friday, April 15,against Moorhead, one of the two new teams the Lancerettes will play this year. North Dakota State is the other newcomer. Like all coaches at the beginning of a season, Miss Post is optimistic. Returning lettermen will provide a good

DMLC MESSENGER

(Cont. from p. 3) solid base upon which to build with many new people who have a lot of talent and potential.

According to Miss Post, "A lot will depend on if our pitching and hitting hold up. If we can have hitting as we had two years ago, we'll be tough."

With several double-headers this year, pitching is a critical point since Rachel won't be able to hurl every game. Lasea and Rise have not done much pitching, but are working hard at

it. The biggest task is getting their control down. Ann Steffen may even try a little pitching this year. The defense seems to be fairly stable. Overall, Miss Post is pleased with the amount of enthusiasm shown. The team is hoping that the fans will be as enthusiastic, especially for the double-header on April 15, Rachel Kaesmeyer's birthday.

Maybe she'll give the _fans a birthday present by pitching a no-hitter.

Requiem Performed On Sunday, April 17, the DMLCCollege Choir, under the direction of Prof. Meilahn Zahn, performed Johannes Brahms' Requlem. The choir was accompanied by Prof. James Engel and Prof. Otto Schenk on organ and Miss Christine Troge on timpani. This work has been done three times before at DMLC- in 1928, in 1955, and in 1971 - and it was especially chosen by Prof. Zahn this year to be the last major work he directed before his retirement.

Brahms' Requiem differs from other works bearing the same name in that it is not a prayer for the soul of the dead, as in the Roman Catholic liturgical text. Rather, it is designed to console the living, as seen in the opening words: "Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted."

The whole work emphasizes the feelings of consolation, comfort, and hope.

The College Choir spent innumerable hours working on the Requiem under Prof. Zahn, and also with Prot Engel, who took over while Prof. Zahn was in the hospital. Any work that a choir sings is done to the glory of God, and this year the Requiem took on a special meaning, that of a prayer of thanksgiving for the speedy recovery of Prof. Zahn. Many of those who heard this work were as moved by what they heard as were the members of the College Choir by what they sang. "Worthy art Thou to be praised, Lord of honor and might."

Protection from sunburn?

Prof. Jeske Speaks Professor John Jeske, of Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary in Mequon, gave a very interesting and informative talk on Friday, April 15. Prof. Jeske is one of over 100 Bible scholars currently working on the translation of the scriptures into an English version which is both readable and accurate, the New International Version. Although Prof.

Jeske is working primarily on one part of the' Old Testament, the faculty members at Mequon give their

criticism and offer revisions to any part of the translation they feel can be improved.

Prof. Jeske informed a crowd of over 100 that the NIV is superior to other translations beca use, unlike the Revised Standard Version and the New American Standard Bible, the NIV is not a revision of an older work, but a completely fresh translation. Its English is more accurate to the Greek and Hebrew than the New English Bible or the Revised Standard Version. Its language is more dignified and readable than the NASB or Beck's Bible.

The speaker gave many examples of present-day language shortcomings of the King James Version and compared these with the corresponding NIV renderings.

He said that some of the newer translations are too literalistic, which makes difficult reading and memorizing of their passages. "The correct way to translate," he said, "is to render expression for expression, not word for word.'

The New York International Bible Society is sponsoring the translation of this long-awaited version and has gone heavily into debt to finance this project.

Donations are desperately needed for this worthwhile endeavor. Anyone interested in helping bring the Gospel to the English-speaking world in a readable, reliable form can contact: NYIBS 5 East 48th S!.

Prof. Jeske lectures on Bible translations.

"You wear clothes - they wear clothes ... however, they were much more practical," explained Pastor Sengbusch from South St. Paul. Jewish robes of vibrant colors and hanging bells, white cloths and tasseled shawls lay on, under, and around the tables on the stage. Was I attending a kosher rummage sale? No, nothing was being sold, only displayed on a hwnid day in April.

Pastor Sengbusch had brought his collection of Jewish artifacts to the DMLC auditorium. A small group of students watched in amazement as he climbed into the robes of a high priest, blew on a ram's horn, and attached himself to phylacteries, all the while quoting Scriptures. We learned from him and were entertained besides.

Did you know that Jews wore underwear? Okay, so you never thought about it much. They wore underwear if you can say a big, blousy, white apron with a drawstring has an English equivalent.

We learned that they girded themselves with an unattached cloth belt when they wanted to run, that they wore their cloth head shawls for protection from· sunburn, and that they wore sandals to act as air-conditioned shoes in walking through deserts. All of these customs of dress do indeed show practicality.

Women wore their wealth on their headgear in the form of coins and jewels. That seems strange, but when you consider how easily a man could divorce his wife and leave her with nothing but what she had on, it seems very clever instead. U a woman lost one of the coins it symbolized to her husband that he wasn't loved. Pastor Sengbusch pointed OUt that that

fact gives added meaning to the Biblical story of the woman rejoicing with her friends over the finding of a lost coin.

We learned that Jews had fountain pens the size of a large wrench, (called "ink horns" in the Bible), and that they wore small oil lamps on their shoes to guide their paths as is spoken of in the verse "Thy word is a lamp unto my fee!." You probably knew that goat skins were used as wine and water bottles, but did you know that the fur side was put on the inside "for good flavor"?

As Pastor Sengbusch attached long leather straps with black boxes on the ends to his left arm and head, the audience stared. He looked like he was wired for sound.

These phylacteries had tiny portions of the Bible rolled up in the black boxes, and were worn because God said to put His Wordon their minds and hearts.

The Jews took Him at His word, and the strange contraptions came into being along with many regulations as to their use. He apologized,' for instance, for removing them with his right hand - the weak hand should be used to demonstrate that you really don't want to do it.

Later, he blew into a ram's horn - a Jewish signaling instrument - but he indicated it takes a certain knack. All we heard were rasping squeaks, so he must not have the knack yet.

Other items of interest were an alabaster jar, a crown of thorns, a tiny replica of a typical tomb, and, of course, the many layers of clothing worn by a high priest. Pastor Sengbusch modeled these exotic garments in great style, and the bells around the hem tinkled until the close of his talk.

Exam Blues Winter has passed; now it's spring; next is summer, But on the hill we call this time a bummer.

The term has just ended; It wasn't so bad.

There've even been good times that we have all had.

But now is the time the clear-headed one scrams 'Cause DMLC saved this week for exams.

The Freshmen have Physics, plus Fiction and Clv. Just ask one - she'll tell you it's no way to live.

Those Soph'mores are staving with Doctrine and Speech Still hopeful a "C" is not yet out of reach.

Teaching Religion and Reading it goes, My but those juniors have their share of woes.

Lutheran Worship and then the Confessions; These are just two of the seniors' oppressions.

Yes, our exam time can seem pretty tough, But just when we're ready to yell, "That's enough!"

The tests willbeover and all will be great; The profs. and the students will all celebrate.

Our college burst out with joy and good wiJ1The worst is now over for those on the hill.

Bingo Bucks

Talent Turns Out They finally did it. They were finally in the spot-light and in front of a crowd. They sang, they danced, they joked, and they had a great time. These were the people who took part in Entertainment Bonanza 1977.

Freshmen Dick Diener, Bob Kramer, and Bill Pekrul were the M.C.'s for this year's show.

Bob, Dick, and Bill enjoyed their joking, singing, talking, and general fooling around as much as the audience did. Their guests, who were not all from the freshman class, performed various acts, including many types of songs.

The Gudetyme Gaynge did an acrobatic skit which was probably the first of its kind to be performed on the DMLC stage. Mrs. Beasley provided the commercial breaks and convinced the audience to never watch another commercial in their lives. The Dixieland BandJazz' Ensemble also did several numbers to bring the evening to a close on a very good note.

The Offbeats added a touch of class.

Maybe It was the veal cutleta Maybe it was an overdose of throat spray. Maybe It was only that I got caught when I forgot to sign out. But Whatever It was, it resulted in the strange dream that I had.

I had been collecting Madsen's Bingo Bucks tickets for quite some time, but in vain. On this particular night Ihad spent a solid half hour trying to find one bingo. When Ifmally got to bed, I was in no mood for disturbance.

Nonetheless, I dreamed that after months of playing Bingo Bucks at Madsen's, I finally

The people who performed for this year's Bonanza were Dori Nolte and Rich Schwartz, Cindy Koeplin, the Offbeats (Steve Merten, John Kehl, Jon Nass, Dave Robertson)..

won the grand prIZe - one mlllIon dollars!

Being the self-appointed Andrew Carnegie of DMLC, I delved into the areas where I might put my cool mlllIon to work. I was soon to discover that the possibilities were endless. After much careful consideration, this is what I came up with: a McDonald's in New Ulm; a parking ramp on campus; a copy of "How to Work the Overhead Projector in Six Easy Lessons," by Martin Schroeder for each classroom; an escalator up the hill; move Northwestern to Mankato; ear plugs for the RA's; a 26-h0urday for Prof. Engel; full-time piano tuners for the Music Department;. juke boxes for the cafeteria; a flock of homing pigeons to deliver mail.

I was rudely brought back to reality by the clang of my alarm clock. All day in classes I stsred out the window trying to decide how Iwas going to spend the $5 I had won at Madsen's.

DMLC Messenger

Charming (Dick Diener) and alert (Bill Pekrul and Bob Kramer) MC's kept the jokes coming and the show moving.

CC Reports The longest piano practice, according' to the GuiDess Book of World Records, lasted 23 hours, 56 minutes, and 16 seconds. It was internationally agreed that this record was certain to be one of the most longstanding facts of the book. And longstanding it was indeed - until last week. Last week the record was broken on our own campus by a DMLCstudent in Room 21of the Muslc Center.This student (whose name has been omitted, not for proteetion, but because Iforgot It) more than doubled the Oldrecord with a tally of 48 hours, 30 seconds. He was hardpressed to make up 46 practice periods, but confidently decided to shoot for a perfect two days. He wouldhave had it, too, if his foot hadn't fallen asleep on the damper pedal. This fine display of fortitude against bitter boredom and posterior pain broke the record set by John Cage in practicing for his wonderful masterpiece, 4' 33".

So DMLChas given a world record to New Ulm. But certainly this town deserves world recognition for another reason, although I'm not sure what we would call it. It exhibits a unique quality that has traces of daring and revolution and yet it borders on outrageous stupidity as well. Maybe if Ilay down a few facts you can get the idea.

In any other normal, unbiased, sane, and otherwise non-Polish community the streeta that are designated 'as north are on the northern end of town and tbe streets designated as south are on the southern end. But that was too commonplace for New Ulm. For us the northern streets are actually in the northwest and the southern streets in the southeast, causing the sun to rise in the southeast and set in the northwest. Maybe the sun was bored with that old eastwest routine anyhow. ' • Another element of nature that New Ulm has chosen to defy rather than accept is time. The government clocks run five minutes fast just to keep up with the rest of the world and the average person runs five minutes late. This trend has spread to DMLCalso, where the AdrDinlstration Building has a slight lead on the piano rooms and classrooms, to which the average student will invariably come five minutes late. As they say, a switch in time makes nlne.

One final example of this rather creative policy deals specifically with our own campus. At most schools the sidewalks are placed where people walk, but we have one that was obviously intended for some other purpose. I am referring, of course, 'to.the sidewalk parallel to Highland Avenue between the girls' dorms and the library. Unless the campus takes a tremendous liking for walks, around the water tower, it seems unlikely that this sidewalk will get much use. I'm not saying the builders didn't think about what they were doing when they put It in. Looking at the proposed walk from different angles, one can see how it could have served as a shortcut to the library or the girls' dorms on the one end, or downtown New Ulm on the other end. There ahnost had to be thought Involved to , avoid each of these possibilities. Perhaps It was Intended as, a landing strip for mosquitos refueling after a fly up the hill or maybe someene finally realiZed the janitors need an extra practice area for their winter plowing. ·Whatever the case, It Isn't your typical sidewalk.

But every sidewalk has a silver lining. This sidewalk may win New Ulm Its second world record fOr... well, maybe for originallty.

Recently, Collegiate Council held a student vote on changes which were proposed for the Collegiate Council constitution.

Having been passed by a majority vote, the following amendments are now part of our constitution. These will go into effect at the beginning of the 1977·78 school year.

Seek To Be Content The young bird angrily flapped his wings and groaned aloud.

"Mother," he said, "why was I born a sparrow? Why couldn't I be some one different? I'm so small. Why couldn't I have been an eagle? Then I could soar through the sky. Or, why not a canary? If I were a canary I could sing a beautiful song. But, no. I was born a dumb sparrow."

His mother' looked at him gently and said, "Sam, some day you will understand."

"When will that be?" he asked. "When I'm old and can't fly anymore?"

"You will know when the time comes," she answered.

Sam gave a sigh. He looked down from his high perch in the trees and saw the grass bend to the wind. When he looked farther beyond, he saw something that he had never seen before.

"Mother," he called, "What is that thing that is moving in such a strange way?"

His mother turned and followed Sam's gaze. "That is a man. He is called a human. Do you remember when I told you about them?"

"Yes, but I didn't know humans looked like that!"

Sam's mother smiled gently as they watched the man approach them. He was an old man with white hair and he leaned heavily on his cane. He walked slowly with his head down and shoulders hunched. ~'Theman doesn't seem to be very happy today," said Sam's mother.

"Why not?" asked Sam. "He must have troubles," answered his mother.

"If I were a canary, I could sing his troubles away," Sam" told her. "Mother, may I fly down and take a closer look at

the man?"

"Yes, of course," she answered.

Sam left his tree branch and flew down to the man. He did not fly very close, but the old man did glance up at Sam once.

Suddenly, from behind the old man a young voice called out, "Grandpa ... Grandpa; wait for me," the voice called. "You walk much too fast."

The old man stopped and turned around. Sam landed on a small tree that was very near the old man. He wanted to see what belonged to the strange voice.

Dolly Tate (Cindy Lee Koeplin) meets a new friend.

The entire company is charmed and 'chanted at a little bash thrown by none other than Pawnee Bill (Matt Manthe).

Chief Sitting Bull (Roger Holtz) stands his ground.

"There's no business like show business!" - Annie (Sue Roland) drinks it all in as Charlie Davenport (Paul Schierenbeck), Frank Butler (Joel Nelson), and Buffalo Bill (John Homstad) sing her a song.

._---_._----_._--_._-_._.

The bushes parted and out popped a young girl with flowing blond hair that danced with the wind. She ran to her grandpa as fast as her small . legs could carry her. When she reached her grandpa's side she gave him a hug and flashed a huge smile. The smile made Sam's heart leap. He began to sing.

"Oh, look, Grandpa," she shouted with glee. "Look at the little sparrow. Mamma said that Jesus keeps an eye on the sparrows and on us, too."

The old man lifted his heavy, sad eyes to the sparrow and '

listened to Sam sing. He grinned. Then he chuckled.

"Grandpa, what's so funny?" asked the little girl.

He grinned down at her and chuckled again. "God 'had to show me through the mouth of a babe and a sparrow that He cared for me," he answered.

"But, I'm not a baby," she declared.

The old man's grin widened into a smile, "No," he said.

"You're nearly a grown woman already."

He listened a little longer to Sam's song, then said, "Let's go

__

._..-_ ..

home, Usa." Usa placed her small soft hand into the huge old calloused hand. The old man didn't walk withhis head down, but held it high for all to see. Hiseyes were now laughing eyes and the frown of worry had disappeared. He swung his cane as he walked and showed Usa a beautiful flower that he hadn't seen before.

Sam flew back up to his mother's. nest and said, "I'm glad God made me a sparrow."

"Yes, I know," she answered softly.

Help Me Give Lord make me an instrument of Your peace, Whe;e there is hatred, let me sow love; Where there is injury, pardon; Where there is doubt, faith; Where there is despair, hope; Where there is darkness, light; and Where there is sadness, joy.

0, Divine Master, grant that I may not so much Seek to be consoled as to console; .To be understood as to understand; To be loved as to love; For it is in giving that we receive; It is in pardoning that we are pardoned; AndIt is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

Smiling faces greeted each and every eager ( ?) donor.

Bloodmobile a Success The receptionists, aides, and nurses were kept very busy APril 18, 1977, when over two hundred DMLC students .donated blood to this spring's bloodmobile. Many of these students were donating for the first time and we hope that they will again give blood to help save lives.

About twenty pints of the blood from this spring's bloodmobile was set aside for Mark Leitzke's father, who had recently had heart surgery. We hope he has a speedy recovery .

Because one never knows who might need blood next, one's donation could save the life of someone very close to him.

Lancers Gain Experience

Lookin' Good, Luther!

The sun siz.les in the sky, dripping its warm rays on all below it. The robins are gathering bits of grass and dried leaves. The squirrels are making a noisy chatter in the tree tops. But where are all the students? Well, if there is a baseball game, you can' bet that's where they are.

America's favorite pastime is becoming the favorite pastime of many DMLC students due to the fine team taking the field this year.

DMLC's first game was against St. Paul Bible College.

The Lancers literally walked away with the first game as 12 players were walked and 4 others were hit by the pitch. The final score was 12-1,with Mark Tacke picking up the victory.

The second game of the doubleheader was a 5-0 shutout, with Don Groth getting the win.

Unfortunately the next game against Concordia was rained out in the fourth inning. The Lancers were leading 9-0 at the time. The next opponent was the always tough Dordt team in a non-conference double-header.

Both games proved to be pitchers' duels, with the final score of 1-0in Luther's favor in each game. In the first game Greg Stam raced home with the unearned run. In the second game the Lancers picked up their run in the first inning as Groth walked and eventually scored on a single by Ron Ohm. These two victories were very significant since it was the first time DMLChas beaten a Dordt baseball team.

The hitters made up for the lack of runs scored against Dordt when they played Pillsbury. The Arbor Day crowd was given a real hitting demonstration.

In the first game the Lancers scored five runs on nine hits. Monte Huntington and Ron Ohm both had home runs with Ron getting three runs batted in. Mark Tacke did an excellent job on the mound as he delivered a one-hitter. He struck out fifteen and walked only one. The margin of victory was even greater in the second game as the Lancers hammered the opposing pitchers for thirteen runs. Huntington knocked in

three runs, and Paul Tess hit his first home run of the season.

The Lancers then traveled to Roseville to play Northwestern.

The first game went nine innings before DMLCwas handed its first loss of the year by a score of 2-1. Errors were the deciding factor as both of Northwestern's runs were unearned. Things got better in the second game as DMLC came back to win 6-0. All six runs were scored in the seventh inning. Jeff Inniger started things off with a double.

Another double, two singles, a sacrifice, and a couple of errors by the Northwestern team allowed the Lancers to bring around six men.

Greg Thiesfeldt picked up the win as he struck out nine ba tters.

The next game was a matchup with North Central Bible.

Tacke struck out fifteen for the second time as he picked up an 8-1 victory. The Lancers had seven extra-base hits in the game with Ron Ohm clouting a home run over the left field fence to lead off the second inning. DMLCscored six runs in the fifth inning with Inniger, Tacke, and Groth all connecting for. triples. The second game of the afternoon was rained out.

It helps to have a sympathetic strawboss.

Arbor Day Finally Dawns "It's Arbor Day! It's Arbor Day" The students at DMLC awoke to these long awaited words at 7:15 a.m. on Tuesday, April 26.

To the seniors, Arbor Day meant being dismissed for the entire day, after attending the 8:05 a.m. chapel service.

Juniors, sophomores, and freshmen, on the other hand,

were assigned to various work duties on campus and at professors' houses.. This work consisted mainly of raking and picking up debris. Brownies and kool-aid were served during a mid-morning break, after which students were summoned back to their work areas until they had finished. Lunch was served outside the Student Union, beginning at noon.

At 12:30, students had an opportunity to partlcipate in class' games, held on the practice field. The sophomore class emerged as overall winners of these events.

The Lancer tennis team has compiled a 3-4 record in their first seven games. They began their season April 13 against Rochester Community College, losing there 9-0. It should be mentioned, however, that Rochester was playing their fifth match, and is a highly touted team, while this was our opener. We bounced back April 15, defeating Mt. .Senario College, 6-3. April 16 we defeated St. Paul Bible at home, 8-1. The April 20 match with Northwestern of Roseville was rained out. We came back from this to ring up our third victory in a row, on 23, defeating St. Paul Bible on their own court, > 4.

But these were followed by three consecutive losses. Dordt came to visit the 29th, and left with a 5-4 win. The 30th we visited Concordia, and left with a 7-2 loss. On May 1, Northwestern of Wisconsin came here, and went home winners 63, thus leaving us with a 3-4 record.

Coach Gorsline commented that this year's squad had no real star player. Instead, he felt that the team was very well balanced, and was looking toward winning the lower singles matches as a key to winning many games. He also stated that because of having no one or two outstanding players, he would go with the hot players against the opponent's top singles players. With a heavier schedule in May, the players should perform better with this added experience under their belts.

Campus Enjoys Banquet

Martin Luther, the man for whom this college was named. greets students and visitors as they enter the library.

Once again the strains of Camelot were sounded on the DMLC campus. This time. though. there were no costumes. lights. or orchesti c, but a sound recording of the original movie tract and a beautifully decorated gym full of students waiting to eat one of the best meals served during the entire year. It was the Spring Banquet. of course.

After the meal came the time for awards for athletics. Coach Barb Leopold announced the Senior Women Athlete. Lois Luedtke. Prof. Dallmann announced the first Senior Male Co-athletes - Paul Schultz and Greg Thiesfeldt. After these announcements. the student body said good-bye to Coach Sue Post through a fine speech by Prof. Dallmann and a standing ovation in her honor. Greg Thiesfeldt, Dave Lepke, and Phil Boileau were given special

awards by Lutheran Brotherhood for their contributions to the DMLC basketball and football teams.

This year's Collegiate Council President. Greg Thiesfeldt. announced the officers for next year's council. They are President Chip Rupnow. Vice President Mark Leitzke. and Secretary Julie Pfotenhauer.

After the awards and announcements. the students and faculty walked to the auditorium for a night of unforgettable entertainment. The Masters of Ceremony for the evening were Patti Jackson and Rich Schwartz.

They entertained the audience by imitating a well-known couple on campus. Vicki Long and Phil Boileau. singing "You Stomped on My Heart" (and Smashed That Sucker F1at).

The highlight was a performance' by Donny and Marie

(alias Phil and Vicki) who sang a little bit of country and a IitUe bit of rock and roll. The country section. sung by Vicki. included such favorites as "Funny Face" and "Mr. Postman" while Phil entertained the crowd with "Hound Dog," "Return to Sender." and others. As an encore Phil and Vicki sang an old favorite of theirs. "Young Love."

"The Phan tom of the Memorial Organ." a movie by Bruce Braun and a number of other students. thrilled and chilled the entire audience. This film. featuring Ruth and Doris Kitzerow. Bruce Braun. Rich Schwartz. Kathy Ftllner, Dean Huebner. Mrs. Siegler. and Prof. Sievert as the Phantom (shame on you). told the story of the haunting of our own Memorial Organ. Cameo roles were played by Donna (cont. on p. 7)

Class of '77 Says Goodbye "This year's college graduates are supposed to be the luckiest class since the last world war" states a recent article in the Minneapolis Tribune. The 'good luck' of the class of '77 is evident to the author in many ways: we don't have to face a military draft, we can plan our lives with more assurance than our parents and grandparents, and we probably won't have to deal with the world wars and depressions that marked the first three quarters of this century. lnstead of passing this off as luck, I am thankful for these blessings of our aImighUy God. The class of '77 is also supposed to have ''no Gods, priests, teachers, or even parents standing in their way-nothing but freedom." We, the Dr. Martin Luther College class of 1977,also have freedom, but our freedom has been won for us by our God through His Sori.Our pastors, teachers, and parents have not been obstacles in our path to freedom, but tools used by God to help us to this goal. Having reached the culmination of our studies, we are able to look back and see the counUess blessings, which some may call luck, that the Lord has showered upon us.

As graduation approaches we cannot help but reminisce on our four years at DMLC. We all will take with us many fond memories ofour college days. But more important, we will leave this campus with both the confidence that we are adequately prepared for the teaching ministry and the assurance of the Lord's promise that He will be with us wherever we are called. And though the ending of our days as students may bring a tear to our eyes, we all are eagerly looking forward to the beginning of the next school year, when we will be on the other side of the desk. Yes, the years of preparation have been well worth the effort!

God's Gift DMLC

Blessed are they who have the gift of making friends, for it is one of God's best gifts. It involves many things, but above all, the power of going out of one's self and appreciating whatever is noble and loving in another.

One of the secrets of contentment is the discovery by

Oh, teach them will all diligence The truths of God's own Word.

To place in Him their confidence, To fear and trust their Lord, To learn that in our God alone, Their hope securely stands, That they may ne'er forget His works, But walk in His commands.

every man of his own powers and limitations, finding satisfaction in a line of activity which he can do well, plus the wisdom to know that his place, IlO matter how Important or successful he is, never counts very much in the universe. A man may very well be so sue(cont. on p. 3)

From Our Files . Ten years ago the Class of 1967graduated. In the May 16, 1967, ISSueof the Messenger, a poem about the anticipation of Call Night was printed. This poem can be applied to any graduating class between then and now, and will hold true for any class in the future.

Two weeks away, the fever's growing.

Seniors to and fro, are. goin g, Waiting, thinking, always pensive, Just a trifle apprehensive.

One short, short endless week away, The "fateful" 31st of May. Why fateful? Why the anxious sighs?

Why do those questions fill their eyes?

The day has come .. The future's bright, For Seniors get their calls tonight.

The rarest place on earthly sod Their future's in the hands of God. There's a sharp crackle in the air, Electric, quite beyond compare.

It fills the chapel as we wait To hear the list reveal our "fate."

Fate really? No, unless you call God's will the Christian fate of all.

We go, a consecrated host, Sent by the mighty Holy Ghost.

A privilege vast, of priceless worth, The greatest honor on this earth, To be ambassadors of God, And show his lambs the path He trod.

To bring the joy, divine release, To give those lambs this heavenly food, Is the greatest earthly good.

Anonymous A strange sight (even for downtown New Ulm) - Could it be some overworked student of ancient Western Civilization?? A struggling young collegiate exploring new means of transportation?? No, our researchers assure us this is just another DMLCgraduate ahout to tackle his first call,

This year is the 50th Anniversary of the graduation of the Class of 1927. Their graduating hymn was "Be Thou Faithful Unto Death." This poem with the same title was printed in the June 1927 issue of the Messenger.

BE thou faithful unto death!

In this chosen work of God Enter with a heart for labor, Tread the path that He has trod. -.

THOU shalt bring the little children To the sheepfold of our Lord.

They are His-He loves them dearly; Lead them, lead them to His Word.

FAITHFUL carry out your calling, Follow His divine command, Teach the little lips their prayers, Fold each wavering little hand.

UNTO you hoth pain and pleasure Will the tide of time present; Bear it all with dauntless courage, Strive aright and be content.

DEATH will bring a crown of glory.

Toil until life's closing breath, Trusting in your Savior's merit.

Be thou faithful unto death!

Friends (cont. from p. 2) cessful in carving a name for himself in his field that he begins to imagine himself indispensable or omnipotent.

When that happens, he is eaten up by some secret ambition, and then good-bye to all contentment. Sometimes it is more important to discover what one can't do than what one can do.

So much restlessness is due to the fact that a man does not know what he wants, or he wants too many things, or he wants to be someone else, to be anyone except himself. One of the secrets of contentment then lies in the courage to be one's genuine self, to stand alone, and to not want to be someone else!

Test Yourself According to tradition, the noted Greek epic poet Homer, died of humiliation when he found he was unable to solve a certain riddle. Though riddling long predates the birth of Christ and modern educational techniques are employed by the school, riddles are not passe.

"Old hat" they may be to some persons, but as educative devices to stimulate the thinking of students they are wonderful.

TEST YOURSELF Test yourself on the following - How many can you solve?

1. If you went to bed at 8 o'clock and set the alarm for 9 the next morning, how many hours would you sleep?

2. Does England have a Fourth of July?

3. How many birthdays does the average man have?

4. Some months have 31 days, some have 30. How many have 28?

5. A woman gives a beggar $.50. The woman is the beggar's sister, but the beggar is not the woman's brother. Why not?

6. Why can't a man living in Salem, N.C., be buried west of the Mississippi?

7. What is the minimum number of active baseball players on a baseball field during any part of a game?

8. What four words appear on every denomination of United States coins?

9. How many outs are there in a regular baseball inning?

10.Two men play five games

of checkers, each man wins the same number of games. There were no tie games. How do you explain this?

11. Is it legal for a man in South. Carolina to marry his widow's sister?

12.Divide 30 by a half and add 10. What is your answer?

13. A man builds a house rectangular in shape. All four sides have a southern exposure.

A bear walks past. What color is the bear?

14. Take two apples from three apples, How many do you have?

15. I have two coins which total $.55. One of the coins is not a nickel. What are the coins?

16.You have one match. You walk into a room containing an oil burner, a kerosene lamp, and a wood burning stove.

Which would you light first?

17. Your doctor gives you three pills and tells you to take one every half hour. How long would the pills last?

18.How many animals of both species did Moses take into the ark?

19.A clerk in a butcher shop is 6feet 3inches tall. What does he weigh? .

20. What was the president's name in 1940?

HOMER'S RIDDLE. I went to the woods and caught it, Then I sat me down and sought it. .

The longer I sought for what I had caught,

The less worth catching I thought it.

I would rather have sold it then bought it.

And when I had sought without finding ought, Home in my hand I brought it.

DMLC: Where It Isn't Where the Anderson tapes aren't rated "R" Where you don't ride a Buss, Instead of a car Where even though farms are completely concealed You can still see Barnes standing by the Oldfield Where you don't hang wet gors on a Gorsline to dry And a Post isn't the object on which it is tied Where a Schenk doesn't come from the front of an ox And a Boehlke's not used to open up locks Where a ShIlling's not something that equals twelve pence But someone Meihack it, if he's really den se Where a Fischer doesn't fish, and a Frey doesn't fry Where a Grams not a cracker you'd eat dunked or dry Where a Dallmann won't bore you, or put you to sleep And Kuster's not something that you'd like to eat Where a Brick's not for building, like all of the rest And a Hartwig won't put any hair on your chest

Banquet

(cont. from p. 1) Johnejack, Deb Kuske, KayLynn Graubner, Mary Gray, and Prof. Kuster.

Between acts, Patti and Rich provided comedy and song.

They portrayed a young couple in Luther Hollow and the same couple 20 years later, and sang "Thinking of Things." Phil and Vickiwrapped up the show with

the song "I Believe in Music."

As Rich and Patti mentioned before their final good-bye, the two people who did so much to make the Banquet a success were Carol Tietz and Jim Wade.

Thanks to these people and many others we again had a great Spring Banquet, 1977, in Camelot!

Soph Gives Recital How would you like to -go down in the DMLC book of school records as being the first sophomore to give an organ recital? Rachel Gerlach did this when she presented an organ recital on Sunday, May 15.

Even though the day was sticky, Rachel looked cool and fresh as she played selected works for a small but interested audience. The first half of the recital consisted of three pieces

by Buxtehude and three by Bach, including Buxtehude's "Prelude and Fugue in G Minor" and Bach's "Kyrie, God the Holy Ghost" from Clavierubuog Driller Theil.

After the short intermission, she played Brahm's "Behold, a Branch is Growing" and "0 Sacred Head, Now Wounded."

Also included in her program was a secular work by Cesar Franck, "Piece Heroique."

Judging by the audience's • response, Rachel's recital was a success. As she returned to bow a second time, one could see a relieved and proud smile on her face, proud to have worked so hard and done well, proud to have gained some recognition, and proud - with reason - to be the youngest organist here to give a recital.

St. Cloud State

Sluggers Are Awesome The Lancer baseball team compiled an awesome 17·1 record this spring. ThIs included taking 3of 4games from Northwestern-Roseville, the closest competitor. The only loss was to NorthwesternRoseville in a very close game.

The fans had much to cheer about as the team provided many exciting games, and won both the MRCC and the TRCC trophies.

Coach Meihack cited good team play, good pitching, and a .300plus team batting average as the key to winning.

The Lancers were led by four seniors, three of them trio

captains.

These are Greg Thiesfeldt, Jeff Inniger, Paul Tess, and Bob Huebner. The team's pitching staff had a good year, with a 3.50 ERA for the year. Several players had batting averages around the .300mark. They are Ron Ohm, Jeff Inniger, Mark Tacke, Tom Hering, Dick Huebner, Paul Tess, and Don Groth. Groth broke the school record with a .567batting average. Infact, the Lancers practically rewrote the record books this season with the best winning percentage, team batting average, Ohm's 5 home runs and more than 25 runs batted in.

University topped DMLC,5-3, in the final game. Our women's softball team, seeded number 9, finished in 4th place.

Rachel Kaesmeyer pitched the majority of the games, with Rise Rabenberg, Lasea Bittorf, and Ann Steffen also taking their turn on the pitcher's mound. Mona Pinske served as the team's catcher throughout the games. Ann Steffen and Karen Schwarz did very well in their infield positions, with Karen Sell doing well in the outfield. "All in all," cornmented Coach Sue Post, "the entire team played really well.

Everyone did a good job."
