WELCOME It is a pleasure to welcome so many new students to our campus for the 1978-79 school year.

There is no doubt that the faculty

and all returning students are happy that you have chosen to attend

Dr. Martin Luther College to begin studies for full time work in the church.

A great need for dedicated young people exists in our

church and we recognize your attendance in our school as an effort to fill that need .

We look forward to meeting all of you personally

during the course of the year in order to assist and encourage you in your work . We are grateful to our Wisconsin Ev. Lutheran Church for the facilities which they have placed at our disposal on our campus in order to make your stay in our midst pleasant and comfortable .

When

the rigors of your academic work begin to confront you, when personal probl ems come your way, or when you simply feel the need for a visit, we welcome you to stop in to share whatever joys or difficulties which you may be experiencing.

We pray that you will have a successful and

profitable year. L. O. Huebner Dean of Students

WORDS OF WELCOME On behalf of board, faculty, and staff I have the privilege of welcoming you, new and returning students, to this campus for the 1978-1979 academic year. During this academic year you will be furthering your education in the academic disciplines.

If in the process, however, you do not

become better equipped to be witnesses to the Gospel, to be witnesses of Jesus Christ, to be dedicated Christian teachers, then you will have spent a year without benefit i ng

from the most precious commodity this college

has to offer, a deeper understanding and assimilation of God's inspired, inerrant Word. In view of the foregoing I want to assure you that the entire faculty and staff wish to be of as much help to you as possible as you prepare for the teaching ministry.

It is our prayer that when this school

year is completed, it can be said of you as it was of the early Christians: "The hand of the Lord was with them."

This means that you will have been

charged with the power of God and filled with fervor and conviction .

You

can expect great things of God; therefore, don't be afraid to undertake all that which prepares you for doing great things on behalf of His kingdom.

Seitember 8, 1978

I The Messenger staff extends a hearty welcome to the new students and a welcome back to all returning students. We're glad to have you with us. The coming of a new school year always brings with it some uneasy feelings. For some, returning to a regular schedule may be just what is needed. But perhaps others really liked their summer jobs and were reluctant to leave them. What are your feelings about the coming year? Whatever your attitude is, it is probably colored by some air prehensions. "What will my classes be like?" "Will my professors be tough?" "Will I make the team?" "The memorial organ looks so big - how will I ever get the nerve to play it?" These and other questions may be clouding your mind at this point. There is no sure--fire answer to any of these questions except just to wait and see. But here are a few things to keep in mind. Remember to keep busy, but don't tackle more than one job at a time. Don't worry too much. And most important, don't forget that when things get rough, nothing is more effective than prayer. Keep Cltrist with you during this coming year, then, even when things seem to be at their worst, they will always turn out well. Good luck for the '78-'79 school year.

Greetings! It is indeed my pleasure as a member of the student body to welcome )'OU to D.M.L.C. You will find, as I have, that the years which you spend here are among the most precious years of your entire life. The fleeting moments of high school graduation left me with the realization that I never could go back again to relive those priceless moments. But as I enlisted at D.M.L.C. I realized once again that the Lord was providing me with a boundlessly rich store of opportunity in which to develop my talents and abilities for the sacred calling of the teaching ministry. My first impressions of D.M.L.C. also introduced me to the partners of our Cltristian endeavor. These partners of friends, professors, and other Christian "brothers and sisters" have made me feel right at home as a part of our "D.M.L.C. family." The bond of love and common knowledge within our family is indescribable. I hardly ever walk down the hall or sidewalk without being greeted with a smiling "Hi!" from such a "brother or sister." Then my freshman year unfolded beautiful experiences, friendships, and educational opportunities which I shall cherish the rest of my life. Whenever I needed any help, a professor, Dean, or housemother was always right there to lend a hand. On this campus I was also constantly reminded of the closeness of my Best Friend, Jesus Cltrist. Not once did I ever feel like just some other university student, lost on a sea of human philosophies, doubt, and loneliness. It is difficult for my other university friends to understand the spirit of oneness that does exist on our campus. Ah yes, you also will find, as I have, that these will be sacred years of your life. Four years pass quickly. All too soon it will be time to be graduated and be ushered into the gracious service of our Lord. Until then, never on earth will there be for us such a union as members of a particular Lutheran family. It's your privilege, your responsibility, your choice to make the best of your once--in-a-lifetime college experience. Such an experience as you are having now will remain with you for the rest of By Kathy Sievert your life.

The Cltildren's Theater production this past spring was "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs." Many school children from surrounding schools attended. T'S HARD ~ Ml/ID

There's Never a Dull Moment! By Dawn Brooks Are you looking for a place to meet friends with similar interests? Tired of studying and want to get out of the dormitory? Are you looking for something to fill some empty time? Why don't you check out some of the organizations and activities that can be found on the DMLC campus? H there is music in your heart, you have your choice of five choirs and two bands to join. If you have heard rumors that the DMLC Band is going to hit the street this year, it's true! To join the band on parade are the Porn-Pon and Color Guard squads. They also present half-time shows for football and basketball games. There are also two student-Oirected choral groups, the Aeolians and Marluts, for girls and fellows respectively. For aspiring band · directors, there is the Directors' Club where participants learn about the things that go into waving a baton. Playing their way through the year is the Recorder Club. No experience is necessary to join this club, just a willingness to learn to play a recorder. The Organ Club takes field trips, sponsors organ recitals and learns the latest about the fine art of organ playing. H music is not your forte, don't despair! There's much more besides. Every school has an athletic department and ours is no exception. Our teams compete with surrounding schools; and to get the players and the teams fired up, there are six cheerleaders and a pep band. To help with the wrestling meets, there is another group of girls that keep score, and run the time clocks. To find out about the teams themselves and our intramural program, turn to the story on the back page. l<'or ski enthusiasts, the Ski Club can be found on the slopes -

almost any weekend after the snow starts flying. H it has always been your secret desire to see your name in lights, why not try out for one of the Drama Club's productions? There is a fall play and a spring musical. There is also the Cltildren's Theater which does a play at Christmas and another in the spring. H you like to get printer's ink on your fingers, there is the yearbook, Hie Excelsior, and this publication, the Messenger. Whether you write, like to take pictures, or have an eye for artistic arrangement there is _a place for you. The Art Club and the Phlogistons, the science club, both give fairs in the spring and all through the year have meetings at which they dabble in their respective areas. H you see yourself following in the footsteps of Stephen Douglas or Abraham Lincoln, great debators and speech-makers, then Forensics and Debate are for you. The club participates in several meets. Junto meets to discuss current news topics. Pep Club's main activity is the organization of Homecoming week and the Banquet. H you always wanted to run for an office, try either the Student Union Board which takes care of the S.U. or Collegate Council, which is our governing body. The Council arranges many of the campus activities such as the Cltristmas Party, Snow Carnival, Entertainment Bonanza, and many others. These suggestions might help you to find your niche. Besides all this, there are concerts, organ recitals, movies, sports activities and many other things to attend. You might say that there is never a dull moment!

A Look at DMLC Sports

You can find members of the tennis team practicing their skills on the courts when spring arrives. We were also privileged to have on our campus the Delphi String Quartet. They lectlll'ed to several music classes 1U1d performed a concert.

Coming Events By Mike Pfeifer

Now that you're all settled into your dormitory rooms, and have met some of your classmates and professors, and have managed to have gotten lost in the cafeteria lines, just sit back, relax, and let me tell you about sports at DMLC. Like all student bodies, students are interested in a variety of sports. To meet these nwnerous interests, the DMLC Athletic Department has developed a wide program of intramural and interscholastic sports. During this season of the year, two sports are prominent: football and cross country. The football team has already been practicing on campus for nearly two weeks, and their first game will be Saturday, September 16. Last year's team finished the season with a 4-4 record, and you can bet the Lancers will be out to better that mark this year. The cross country team has also begun their training - by running and running and running .... Both the men's and women's teams put in many hard hours and miles to prepare themselves for competition that is both physically and mentally demanding. Even before the snow starts flying ( which should be any week now), many students begin working out for winter's indoor sports. For men, basketball and wrestling break up the long winter, while basketball and volleyball provide fast, physical action for the women. Intramurals make up a large portion of the winter sports on campus. Competition in

basketball, volleyball, badminton, and hockey give men and women a chance to crawl out of the bleachers for some fun of their own. As spring arrives, the dormitories empty out when the first patch of asphalt peeks through the snow on the tennis courts. Men compete in tennis, baseball, and golf. All three teams had winning seasons last year, including a conference championship for the golf team. Women also compete in tennis and softball, and all students can fight it out one last time .in intramural softball. A new addition to DMLC athletics last year was the Track Club, which enjoyed a competitive and successful first season. There. was also a revivial of the old DMLC soccer team. They competed only a couple of times last year, but one can be sure that the,participants are looking forward to a bigger and better season this year.

Saturday afternoon finds the DMLC students out in the football bowls cheering on Lancer action.

Ne,v Ulm Native Commissioned to Taiwan By Dawn Fuerstenau

The commissioning service of Missionary Marcus Manthey was held in the chapelauditoriwn here at DMLC on September 24. The liturgist for this service was Prof. Conrad I. Frey, President of DMLC, and Rev. Kurt F. Koeplin of Atonement Lutheran Church in Milwaukee, Wisconsin officiated. The College Choir, under the direction of Prof. James Engel, enriched the service with their song, " Where 'er I Go." The theme of the sermon, "By the Grace of God-A Proclaimer of the Gospel," based on Romans 15:15-21, was delivered by Rev. John F. Brenner, pastor at st. John's Lutheran Church in Bay City, Michigan. He is the fatherin-law of Missionary Manthey. Rev. Manthey received his assignment to Taiwain upon his graduation from Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary this past May. Although he will be the first American WELS

missionary to Southeast Asia, there has been some work done there already. The work in Taiwan was begun in 1968 as a result of the Voice of Salvation radio broadcast. This program was started by the Chinese Evangelical Lutheran Church in Hong Kong as a missionary broadcast effort. There was such a positive response to the broadcast that mission work was started on the island by two nationalist pastors. Two congregations were organized in the capital city of Taipei, Our Savior Lutheran and Peace Lutheran, with a total of 71 souls. A third smaller congregation, Holy Trinity, was later organized in Everlasting Happiness Village, about 150 miles south of Taipei. Upon completing their Mandarin langugage studies at the University of WisconsinMadison, Rev. Manthey and his wife will begin their work in Taiwan.

Freshmen Meet DMLC By Linda Matscbe As frosh, we were introduced

Randy Kramer as Windermere Hightower, presents a very debonair profile for sweet little Anne Demsien who is Aurelia Abernathy. The two recently appeared in "The Curse of an Aching Heart."

Ladies Auxiliary - A Blessing ! Have you ever been curious as to where the drapes in your room came from? How about the band uniforms and choir stoles? Or what about our campus greenhouse? These are only a few of the numerous items whir.h have been bought for our school in the past 19 years by the DMLC Ladies' Auxiliary. On October 11, 1978, 438 ladies assembled. on our campus for the annual Auxiliary meeting, election of officers, and voting on of new projects. The day was opened with a devotional service at 10:30 a.m. by Rev. Oliver Lindholm, Pastoral Advisor. The topic for his sermonette was, "Encourage Them." Among the projects proposed for the coming year were drapes for Hillview, Highland,

Annex, and Waldheim rooms, a vacuwn cleaner for Centennial dorm, water coolers for third floors Hillview and Highland, and hand driers for the Student Union and Academic Center restrooms, and a stove for Hillview and Highland dorms. In addition, by resolution, the following gifts were also given: Library, $500.00; DMLC Scholarship, 750.00; and, MLA Scholarship, $500.00. Election of new officers was also on the agenda. Mrs. Wayne Zaske became president, Mrs. Milton Owens is first vicepresident, with Mrs. Gordon Licht as second vice-president, and Mrs. Wilbert Goehring, secretary. The day was brought to a close with the Lord's Prayer and the singing of the Doxology.

to the campus with a series of events, beginning with registration, held Friday, September 8, which for the most part, was a hectic and hasslefilled day. But once we got past the endless line of tables, had our pictures taken (ugh! ) , and played a hymn selection as a Music Department placement test, we could finally relax for awhile and investigate the surroundings. At 6: 00 that evening, the "Welcome Buffet" was held in the gym. Parents, teachers, and students all managed to squeeze in. After a few jokes and a very enjoyable speech by Bob Kramer, we listened to music by Rich Schwartz. He seemed to cool the place off a bit and even persuaded the older folks to sing along with him. Then, on Monday evening, September 11, after our first full day of classes, we took a hike over to Flandrau for a picnic in the rain!! Fortunately, clouds rolled by in no time and we commenced "eating" and "mixing" ! At first everybody was sort of shy, but if anyone wasn't out of his shell by the time the Human Pyramids started, that did it. Professor Averbeck and his crew of advisees won the pyramid contest by building the most remarkable form. Each member on the team received as his prize - can you guess? one less mile to walk for initiation! Wow, bah?

Later, we were entertained by a very talented group called Dr. Bopp. They had everybody laughing, clapping and some even swooning! But for some, the real fun came on the trek back home through the wet "jungle." More than one brave soul lost his footing and slid helplessly into the muddy depths below.

And so ended our first few worry-free days here at DMLC. By now, everyone's in the swing of things - not walking into wrong classes or doing all those funny things that only freshmen seem capable of doing. Finally, we'd just like to thank all those who helped us feel at home here.

''Schuhertiade'' Honors Composer By Dave Hagen

Picture yourself as a music enthusiast given a chance to meet a famous composer of the past. It certainly would be a thrilling experience. On Thursday, September 21, although those assembled in the chapel auditorium did not meet a famous composer, they did enjoy an excellent rendition of his music. This was the night of the "Schubertiade," and evening of Franz Schubert's chamber music. It was presented in honor of the 150th anniversary of Schubert's death by performers from Gustavus Adolphus College. The program began with a duo for violin and piano in A Major, featuring Gerald Lewis as violinist and John McKay as pianist. It was followed by the Fantasie for Piano, four hands,

in f minor, Christine Dahl and John McKay, pianists. This piece is considered to be

Schubert's finest work for piano, four hands. The next work was the Serenade for Alto Solo, Women's Chorus and

Piano ( Grillparzer). This featured Sara McKay, contralto, John McKay, piano, and the Ladies of the Gustavus Adolphus Chamber Singers, Jon Romer, director. The final two selections were both entitled The Trout. The first of these was an example of Schubert's song literature, with Sara McKay, contralto and John McKay, pianist; the second was a Quintet for Piano and Strings in A Major. It was performed by Gerald Lewis, violin; Alice Preves, viola; Edith Tibbits bass; and John McKay, piano; and Camil1a Heller, cello. Although those present at this "Schubertiade" never got to meet the composer, they were able to enjoy his music as much as those who first listened to Schubert's works.

At the beginning of each semester, when we begin a new course, often with an unfamiliar instructor, he will ask us as students to give our name and hometown, and tell him where we went to high school. Invariably there are those who boldly state their names and where they are from, and then they mumble inaudibly, "And I went to a public high school." It may be that those who fall into this category do not feel equipped to handle the task they have taken up, not having had as much religious training as others may have had. There are times when all of us feel this way. When the assignments are coming thick and fast, and the awesomeness of the responsibility hits us right between the eyes, we wonder whether we will be capable of handling a task as great as teaching . But we need not necessarily feel this way. God can make use of all our talents, no matter what we think of ourselves. As Christians we know what true humility is, and all of us should be humble in the presence of God's glory. But is humbleness synonymous with inadequacy? - Perhaps if a poll were taken of DMLC students, by far the majority would admit that they feel inadequ?lte to bear the responsibility of training children in the way that they should go Yet how can we say we are inadequate to handle this responsibioity when we are following our Savior's command to "preach the gospel to every creature?" Surely He would never turn His back and leave us to handle it on our own. What a relief to know that Christ will be constantly at our side, and that when we make a mess of something, He can still put it to use for His kingdom.

Just a Suggestion Speedy mail is possible and Paris has had it for over a hundred years! The city sewer system tunnels of Paris are the right-of-way for apneumatic tube network interconnecting post offices. Science and Technology editor Jacques Richardson of the Paris Bureau timed some letters mailed via "pneumatique" from Neuillysur-Seine. He found that he could depend on 90-minute service within the city of Paris and about two-hour service to suburban communities. And the last leg of each journey is made by messenger! Similarly, the Germans in Berlin make extensive use of pneumatic transfer systems.

Seek and Ye Shall Find Has anyone ever asked you, "Are you a Christian?" H so, did you proudly confess, "Why yes, I'm a Wisconsin Synod Lutheran!"? I don't think I'm the only one that has pulled such a blunder.

fessing members of the WELS is rather an important factor, isn't it? As members of the WELS, we cla_im to belong to a synod of churches that really sticks to the true Word of God and refuses fellowship with other Christian bodies which have allowed error to creep into their midst. As a confessing Lutheran, have you ever checked how truthful the teachings of the WELS are, or do you simply believe these teachings as true because that's what you've been taught? Ought we not be like the Bereans, who "searched the Scriptures daily" ( Acts 17: 11) to see whether the things they were told by the apostles were, indeed, true. The Lord commands us to ·search the Scripture, for in so doing "ye shall know the truth and the trut!J, shall make you free" (John 8:32). If we are to be prepared to give a reason of the hope within us to every man that asks (I Peter 3:15), then we had better know what the basis for that hope is. "Seek and ye shall find!" (Matthew 7:7).

Boehlke's Whiz Kids Flash By By Bob Kramer

DMLC scores their only touchdown against Loras.

Every year DMLC's interscholastic atheltic teams seem to be improving, and perhaps one of the most improved.teams this year is the men's cross country team. In its third year of interscholastic competition, the team has added depth to its first two years of experience to seriously challenge the conference champs, Northwestern of Roseville. The DMLC harriers traveled to St. Paul Bible College for its first meet on September 16. Having trained together for only one week, the runners had a tough race, scoring 60 points, just ahead of SPBC (61) and Pillsbury (64), but far behind Northwestern (30). However, after another hard week of practice, the Lancers hosted their own meet at Flandrau State Park on September 23. This time the Lancers again took second to Northwestern, but only missing by a point, 3738, with SPBC and Pillsbury finishing far behind. Lancer Jon Willitz took second place in-

dividually, missing first by only one second. The next two meets, however, were tough and the Lancers had their problems as a team, though many of the individual times kept getting better, such as Jon Willitz finishing five miles in 27:50 and Jim Rademan in 28:03. But the Lancers lost to Bethel and Northwestern in a triangular meet on September 30 and lost to Northwestern (again!) but beat Pillsl:IUry in a meet on October 7. One week later the Lancers went to Carleton to run in a veri prestigious meet. They took seventh place as a team running in the JV meet in a field of eleven teams. Yet this meet turned out very well because everyone ran the fastest race of his life. But the Lancers, ably coached by Mr. Stephen Hintz,

are working hard .,o catch up to Northwestern and other tough teams. For some of the practices, Coach Hintz has had these guys running 18 miles for one practice, running to Sleepy Eye (13) miles against the wind, timed miles, and even running hard up South loth Street hill 10 times in one practice. There are eleven harriers on the team. Top runners are Sophomore Jon Willitz, Freshman Jim Rademan, secondyear-man Dave Niemi (capt.), third-year-man Bob Kramer (capt), Sophomore Randy Koeppel, and Junior John Beyer and second-year-man Nate Eberhardt. Rounding out this closely-knit bunch of guys are Sophomore Joel Welke, thirdyear-man Mark Lietzke, Freshman Paul Griepentrog, and second-year-man Ed Raabe.

Gridders' Season Tied The Lancer footballers may just be enjoying their best season ever. The gridders are 33 with all three losses coming from good football teams. DMLC has beaten Loras 7-0, Northwestern-Roseville 3-0, and Maranatha 7-0. The Lancers have lost to Concordia 36-32, Dana 24-8, and Northwes~ernWatertown 13-9. This season's highlights include a 19 yard field goal by freshman John Favorite with 19 seconds left to put DMLC up 3-0 over NWC Roseville. The Lancers went up 32-29 at Concordia with 52 seconds left only

to have Concordia score on a 60yard pass with 30 seconds left ; they fell behind 36-32. Dan Madson scored the lone touchdown against Loras, as did Ricky Loewen against Maranatha. the highlight of the season. DMLC prior to this season, had one shutout, this year they have three already. The Lancers run a 5-2 defense and are hitting hard again, says Coach Gorsline. "Bill Plamann has added a lot to the team as a defensive coach," added the Lancer leader.

"We run a Houston Veer offense about 50 percent of the time, and we like to pass a lot; we feel that Tod Bartholomew has a good throwing arm," Gorsline said. The team itself has been hurt by injuries to starters and key players, such as Jim Sting, Jim Kaniess, Ray Rubin, Steve Janke, John Kolander, and Kim Techlin, who has been playing with a broken hand. The Lancers finish out their season against Mt. Senario and Pillsbury. The Lancers play Mt. Senario at home.

Paul Griepentrog hastens to outdistance a Pillsbury competitor.

Meet These Men! pano Beach, Fla. where he was principal for seven years. Mr. LaGrow is a DMLC alumnus from Benton Harbor, Michigan. He has always thought highly of DMLC's academic quality and the good preparation received here. We may not all come into contact with Mr. LaGrow, but don't you feel better now that the mystery is solved? You now know who he is.

Prof. Koestler Prof. Koestler is to us a new face on the DMLC campus this year. He was brought up in Fairmont, Minnesota and attended both MLA and DMLC, so he told me it feels good to be back on the old turf again. However, he did stress the fact that he enjoyed both Michigan and Wisconsin, when he previously taught at Bethel, in Bay City, Michigan, and St. Jacobi in Greenfield, Wisconsin. Now he busies himself by either sitting in his office under his desk with the light off so as to prevent any impending Messenger interviews or is sometimes found teaching sophomores Introduction to Literature or Speech Fundamentals. At any rate I'm sure both he and the sophomores will have a good

year.

Prof. LaGrow To those people including myself , Mr. La Grow is a mystery of sorts. Now before you go wracking your brains trying to figure out who he is, let me tell you. If you think he is the principal of St. Paul's school, you're wrong - I was set straight on that from the first. Mr. LaGrow is the . Coordinator of Professional Experiences. Sounds impressive doesn't it? Well, it's not all that complicated. He's one of four supervisors for those seniors who practice teach at St. Paul's School, and he is in charge of coordinating student teaching. This is Mr. LaGrow's first year doing this kind of thing. He is formerly from sunny Porn-

Prof. Lange In the small town of Hendricks, Minnesota, a child was born to Rev. William and :Mrs. Lange. They called him Lyle and ever since he can remember he's wanted to become a pastor. He attended most of his young grade school life at First Lutheran School in LaCrosse. He was graduated from St. Paul's in Wisconsin Rapids . Prof. Lange's high school years were spent at Northwestern Prep from which he also went on to Northwestern College and the Seminary. His year of vicarship took him to Grace Lutheran in Tuscon, Arizona. In 1969 he received his first call; it was to Ascension Lutheran in Escondido, California. He started a grade school there in 1974 where he served as principal and taught religion. After nine years at Ascension, .. rof. Lange decided to accept the call to DMLC because he had always wanted the opportunity to help mold and to influence future generations of church workers. He teaches History of Israel and Doctrine 20.

Prof. Wagner

Professor Wayne Wagner comes from the big shipbuilding town of Manitowoc , Wisconsin. He was a member of Bethany Lutheran Church and attended First German Lutheran School. Prof. Wagner went on to Manitowoc Lutheran High where he actively participated in band, choir and on the school newspaper staff. Prof. Wagner 's college education included two years at WLC and then two more at DMLC from where he was graduated in 1972. He also spent two vacations in school at the University of Minnesota. Before accepting the call here, Prof. Wagner was music director and middle school teacher at Emmanuel Lutheran Congreg11tion in St. Paul for six years. It was there that he married Janice in 1976. Prof. Wagner now enjoys teaching organ and Basic Musicianship here at DMLC.

Members of the mysterious SPCO charmed the campus all day long.

SPCO Unveiled Beautiful music once again filled the chapel-auditorium. This time DMLC was proud to present the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra. This splendid concert took place on Nov. 10, 1978, at 8:00 PM. The chamber orchestra, under the direction of Mr. William McGlaughlin, played to a filled auditorium of faculty, students, and community. The musicians held the audience captive as they began the concert with " Symphony No. 4 in F Major," Op. 2, by William Boyce. The "Sinfonia Concertante in E-flat Major," K. 364, by Mozart followed. The two main violinists for this number were Mr. Robert Zelnick and Mr . Tamas Strasser . Following a brief intermission, the SPCO continued their fine concert with

"Pastorale" by Daniel Lesur. This piece was described by the conductor as "quiet country music with a country picnic inside." The finale was "Symphony No. 88 in G Major" by Haydn. Their performance was awarded a standing ovation by the pleased audience.

During the day, the SPCO's string quartet, wood wind ensemble, and consort ensemble performed for the various music classes. They offered semi-private coaching to some of our DMLC's woodwind band members. Other students gave a hand at directing. The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra appearance on our campus was made possible by the Aid Association of Lutherans and the DMLC Lyceum Fund.

MissionFair Inspires Many "Awake, Thou Spirit," sang the assembly at the Mission Fair held November 14, at DMLC. The theme this year was Home Missions, and the Juniors, Seniors, and others in attendance learned that this field is also white unto harvest. The three topics discussed were institutional and campus missions, and evangelism. The first topic of the day was that of mission work in correctional institutions. The speaker, Rev. Kenneth Lenz,. spoke on his extensive work in nursing homes, hospitals, and mental health centers in the Milwaukee area, as well as correctional and detention institutes in more far-reaching areas, such as the state prison at Waupun, Wisconsin. Rev. Lenz explained the nature of his work in these areas, and described the lost condition of many souls, souls whose guilt weighs heavy unto despair. Obviously, the sweetness of the Gospel's

message is immeasurable in these fields . "I was sick, and ye visited Me. I was in prison, and ye came unto Me. Inasmuch as ye have done it unto the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto Me." Matthew 25:36, 40.

Rev. Richard Stadler, pastor at St. James Lutheran Church in St. Paul, as well as our campus pastor on the University of Minnesota campus, led a discussion on the mission field on college campuses. He stressed the point that WELS must provide this opportunity for fellowship and home base for Christian collegiates. He went on to describe the activities sponsored by the Lutheran Collegians, specifically on the St. Paul campus, and explained the need for evangelism on the campus. Rev. Stadler's enthusiasm exhibited the effective mission work being conducted on the campus.

The final discussion held at the Mission Fair was that of evangelism. Rev. Vern Voss and Rev . David Koeplin led off this subtopic with a questionanswer period where students were given the opportunity to ask specific evangelism-related questions, inquiring what should done in particular instances. For more instruction on personal witnessing, the group in attendance broke up into ten smaller groups headed up by students who explained the procedure of the "Talk About the Savior" approach of canvass-witnessing. All then reconvened, with a little further discussion. A movie put out by the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod was shown which showed an example of an evangelist at work. Rev. Vern Voss' words, "Evangelism begins at home," Showed that evangelism indeed plays a vital part in our home missions.

A number of weeks ago we all found in our mailboxes a flyer entitled, "Meat and Potatoes and the Coming of the Kingdom." It was written to give a quick summary, or the meat and potatoes, of the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod's "Report to the 10 districts" of May, 1978. It had some very encouraging things to say about our accomplishments, by God's grace, which show us that our Synod is alive and functioning well. That was the first half of the report. The second half was the "however" which every document of this nature contains. The "however" is that our Synod needs $250,000 to meet its immediate needs for missions and worker . training. Worker training - that's us. The report continued that the members of the Wisconsin Synod "spend about two million dollars each year on chewing gum!" One could only venture to guess how much of this spending is going on right here. It really adds up. When we pay our tuition and room-and-board here at DMLC, we murmur about the rising cost of our schooling, at the same time knowing that we pay only a fraction of the actual cost. And where does the rest of it come from? It comes from that quarter of a million dollars that our Synod doesn't have. What am I driving at? In a round-about way, the point comes down to our mission collections taken in chapel. They are dwindling sadly. The last several collections have been between $100 and $150. Divide that by 825 students, and we get a grand total of less than nineteen cents per student. What I'm trying to say is that if Synod looks out for us, it's only our duty to look out for the missions. Let's get back to the chewing gum idea for a minute. Admittedly, we spend a goodly amount on chewing gum as well as soda pop, candy, and ice cream; and before being accused of trying to run the Round Table out of business, let me explain that my object is not to run a rampage against the evils of sugar and sweets. But rather, try this: what if everytime we feel the need to drink a Coke or buy an ice cream cone, we first set aside a quarter for missions next Thursday? You know what? It really adds up!

" Don't they know about lung cancer?" k

Don't Stop Stop friendships ... and you are dead, emotionally. Stop reading ... and you are dead, scholastically. Stop growing .. . and you are dead, physically. Stop thinking ... and you are dead, mentally. Stop praying ... and you are dead, spiritually. So don't stop . . . Start! And keep at it for continued growth ...

A very special service was held in the DMLC chapelauditorium on November 5. Honored for a combined total of 105 years in the teaching ministry were Professor Heine Schn1tker ( 40 years), Professor Ralph Swan tz ( 40 years), and Miss Irma Paap (25 years). The Rev. E.O. Schulz of Hutchinson, Minnesota, officiated and Rev. Edgar Knief of St. Paul was liturgist. The Martin Luther Academy Choir, under the direction of Prof. Kermit Moldenhauer, presented the selection , "Sing Praise to God, Who Reigns Above." Mrs. Joyce Schubkegel led the College Treble Choirs in a most appropriate hymn, "Take My Life and Let It Be. " Prof. Ames Anderson was the organist. " We praise God this evening," Rev. Schulz began. The sermon text was taken from Psalm 78: 1-7 and dealt with "Our Teaching Ministry." Rev. Schulz posed the question of why the honored guests had chosen to enter the teaching ministry . He stated that perhaps their responses could have been numerous, and then made a suggestion of his own. " You could not help it," he said. He went on to explain that God has a purpose for all of us and it was He who led them to their decision. Following the service, a reception was held in the DMLC cafeteria for relatives, friends, and faculty. Paap's home Miss congregation is St. Peter's in Vernon Center, Minnesota. When she graduated from DMLC, she began her teaching

at Our Savior's in Jamestown, North Dakota. She became part of the DMLC staff in 1967 and was a member of the Board for Parish Education for 1977-78. St. Paul's in New Ulm is Prof. Heine Schnitker's home congregation. He was a graduate in the DMLC class of 1938 and began teaching in Glencoe, Minnesota, at St. John 's. Prof Schnitker began his service at Martin Luther Academy in 1971. Prof. Ralph Swantz also graduated in the DMLC class of 1938. His home congregation is Trinity in Hendricks, Minnesota. Trinity in Johnson, Minnesota, was where he bagan his teaching ministry. Prof. Swantz has been at DMLC for 22 years, since 1956. May our Lord continue to keep His called servants and may He bless their labors in the nurturing of His souls !

bright quickstep march. Alfred Reed's "A Festival Prelude," a popular work, perhaps one of the composer's best, most powerful works, was next. The first portion of the program closed with a work by a perennial favorite, "The Fairest of the Fair," by John Philip Sousa. The Wind Ensemble began the second half of the program with "Psalm 46," by John l.dechlik, based on the chorale "A Mighty Fortress is Our God." This was followed by Fisher Tull's "Credo," a work in the nature of a profession of faith. Next was the vibrant "Fanfare," by Hugo Montenegro, arranged by John Tatgenhorsi. A three-part work by Carlos Seirinach entitled three moods in this flamenco (Spanish dance music) were Bulerias, a lively flamenco dance; Sa eta, a slow ritual song; and Garrotin, a festive exuberant dance. The final selection of the evening was "Rolling Thunder," by Henry Fillmore, a march filled with all the excitement of the circus.

Anniversaries Celebrated By Nancy Beck

Thanks to a larger enrollment this year, and a good amount of talent from the freshman class, DMLC is again able to have two bands : the Symphonic Conert Band, the larger of the two groups: and the Wind Ensemble, a smaller, more select group. These two groups performed their first concert of the year on Thursday, November 2, at 8:00 p.m. in the chapelauditorium. Those present were treated to an enjoyable evening of fine music. The Symphonic Concert Band presented the first half of the program. They began with a piece of British ceremonial music , "Fanfare and Soliloquy" by Trevor L. Sharpe. With the next selection, a quieter mood was brought to the listeners. This selection was "variations on a Shaker Melody: on the tune "Simple Gifts" from the ballet " Appalachian Spring" by Aaron Copland. The last three selections of this part of the program returned to a brighter, more festive mood. "Toronto City" by Robert Farnon, was a

He will be graduating once again, this time in December from Marquette University, with a Ph.D. He has taught ten years in the science dept. at Wisconsin Lutheran High School and also two years part-time teaching at Wisconsin Lutheran College. Prof. Wandersee was also director of Special Sessions and of Public Relations there this past year. Prof. Wandersee now teaches Science 20 and \yill be teaching physical science next semester.

1977-78 Excelsior When will we get our 1977-78 Excelsiors?

Since there have been many questions concerning the 1977-78 Excelsior (yearbook ), I have decided to write this article to inform the student body about it. First of all, the editor of last year's book is out emergency teaching this year, so she's not available to finish the book. Because there was a very small staff and other problems, last year's yearbook is not completed. At this time the remaining pages are being finished by some of the seniors and juniors. So, when will the 1977-78 Excelsior come out? Hopefully, sometime this spring. Kathy Spiegelberg

Student Teaching Schedule Second Quarter, 1978-1979

(Not Really) On October 31, if you walked intoÂˇ the Student Union between the hours of one and seven, you saw people lying on cots. Some of the individuals had a bag hanging from their arms, some were holding their arms straight up in the air, and some had a look of extreme fright on their faces. Odds are by now you've guessed that all of these people were donating their blood to the American Red Cross. One week before the Red Cross came to our college, students were able to sign up for the times in which they wanted to give their blood. During that week 260 students and faculty members of DMLC signed up to donate blood. Out of those 260 people, 228 pints of blood were taken. All of those who signed up to give were not always able to give. Some of the reasons could have been that the individual had had a cold recently, he might have been feeling ill on that particular day, he might have been on medication, or maybe he had had mononucleosis within the past six months. The Red Cross cannot accept blood when these instances occur, for the blood that we give must go to people who are unable to produce the proper amount, or maybe are about to have surgery and will need extra blood for the amount they are about to lose. You say you forgot to give or you were a chicken? No need to feel bad. The Bloodmobile will Money cannot buy happiness. But at least you can select your own kind of misery.

Reformation Service Held By Audrey Eckelberg The Twenty-Fifth Annual Reformation Service of the Wisconsin Synod Congregations was held at Dr. Martin Luther College at 8:Âˇ00 p.m. on October 29, 1978. Pastor Leroy Lothert from New Ulm served as liturgist; Pastor Donald Grummert from Minneapolis was the speaker. The sermon text was based on Paslm 68:11. The theme was "Appreciate our Reformation Heritage" with a look at the Giver, a look at the Contents, and a look at the Effect. A mass choir under the direction of Professor Ronald Shilling and a children's choir under the direction of Mr. Gerald Warning sang for the service. Professor Charles Luedtke was the organist. The offering was designated for the Library Fund for Martin Luther Preparatory School, Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin. The benediction was given and the congregation closed the service with "A Mighty Fortress is Our God." Lana Punke, Tim Plath, and David Koester played a trumpet descant while the congregation sang this battle hymn of the Reformation.

be back on campus again sometime in April. What happens to the blood you give? From our college, the Red Cross volunteers take the blood back to the St. Paul headquarters and from there they distribute the blood to the area hospitals. A lot of what really makes the Bloodmobile click is the student volunteers who help out the Red Cross on campus. There were plenty of individuals who gave their time to help out for such a worthy cause. Their help was greatly appreciated. But the greatest service was provided by you who gave your blood. Next spring, when the Bloodmobile comes around again, give up an hour of your time and give blood. There are people who need it much more than you do, for your body can reproduce the small amount you lose (approximately one pint), and the individual who needs it cannot. You're still a bit leary about getting a needle stuck in your arm, huh? There's really no need to be. This happened to be my first time to give blood and I'm the type of person who is simply petrified of a needle. If you can stand a prick on the finger, you can also manage a prick on the arm. I did! There's really no pain involved at all. Just remember this simple statement when you're about to give your blood: You are going to help a person live a little bit longer. You never know, someday you may need blood.

Time For Homework TV commercials have great value in today's educational system. Without them students would have little time to do their homework.

Basketball Preview: . Lancers Have Depth There seem to be two basic questions in the DMLC basketball camp this year. The first is this: Can the Lancers, who started slowly with a cast of inexperienced players but finished strongly a year ago (finishing 12-12), keep up the momentum of that late season surge? The second question: Just who will get the most playing tim e.? Coach Gorsline, entering his second season at the Lancer helm, has a host of youngsters who gained valuable experience last year. "I really don't know if we have a glaring weakness," said Gorsline. "The only problem I can see is getting everyone enough playing time to keep everybody happy. We really have what you'd call a 'pleasant' problem. We have so many players capable of starting for us, we don't know exactly where we are." The Lancers are without the services of two of last year's regulars, Rick Lohmiller and

Jeff Davis, but Coach Gorsline has a pleasant number of returning lettermen and promising newcomers on which to build his team. Returning players include seniors Paul Bauer, Paul Snamiska, and Dick Huebner; junior Daryl Weber; and sophomores Craig Morgan, Paul Kaiser, Randy Koeppel, Dan Kuehl, and Mark Schultz. Luther also has a wealth of talent in freshmen Ron Draeger, Dan Madson, Scott Herrewig, Paul Thiesfeldt, Steve Lauth, Tim Torgerson, and Dale Uhlenbrauck. Two top-notch transfers who figure highly in Coach Gorsline 's plans are Jim Unke and Mark Karnitz. "It's going to be hard to pick five out of the bunch we have," said Coach Gorsline with a smile. All of this adds up to what promises to be a very exciting and highly successful '78-'79 campaign. But at Coach Gorsline cautions, "The rest of the (Cont. on p. 4)

November 27, 1978 (Cont. from p. 3) league looks much stronger this year, also." DMLC, competing in both the MRCC and TRCC, figures to run into its stiffest competition from Concordia-St. Paul, Viterbo, Northwestern of Roseville, and Pillsbury.

Lancerette Runners Improved This year's cross-country team showed much improvement over last year's. Not only were there more women out for it, but the individual times improved, allowing DMLC's team scores to come closer to those of much larger schools. The Lancerette's first meet was at St. Cloud after only one week of practice. Because of a thunderstorm before the race, the runners had to battle mud and water puddles and uprooted trees in order to get through the race. Needless to say, the times that day didn't break any records. Meets thereafter had much better weather conditions, and everyone's time continued to improve. The meet at Carlton proved to be one of the best for individual times. Several people ran their fastest race ever, being cheered on by the men's cross-country team. The season ended with an invitational meet at Flandrau State Park. The race was a

success, as three Lancerettes finished in the top seven, leading the team to a winning score. For the cross-country runners at DMLC, individual times mean more than place finishes. Almost all the races had between 75 and 100 runners and one had about 150 runners. The Lancerettes run these 5000 meter races against the best runners in the state. This year 's team worked hard preparing for the races every WP-ekend . Running up 10th street hill six times, doing numerous sprints and drills, running timed races, or just running nine miles were just some of the things the team did for conditioning. This year 's team, coached by Paul Boehlke, consisted of nine runners: senior Lase a Bittorf; juniors Kathy (Fos) Hirsch, RiseÂˇ Rabenberg, and Cindy Solofra; sophomores Diahann Amos, Michelle Horneber, and Judy Kant; and freshmen Sylvia Becker and Mary Schulz.

Rah-Rah Girls Chosen Six 1978-1979 Cheerleaders out of eighteen candidates were chosen November 6. They were not chosen by student vote this year, but were chosen by Pep Club judges. The student body was not allowed to witness the try-outs. Dawn Dalhnann, the only sophomore of the squad, comes from Green Bay, Wisconsin, a graduate of Fox Valley Lutheran High School. Lisa Mack, a freshman, comes from Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin. She attended Lakeside Lutheran High School.

Cindy Unke, a freshman, comes from Manitowoc, Wisconsin where she attended Manitowoc Lutheran High School. Torri Zoeller, a freshman, comes from Watertown, Wisconsin. She is a graduate of Northwestern Prep. Janet Smith, a freshman, comes from La Crescent, Minnesota, having attended Onalaska Lutheran high School. Sue Peterson, another freshman, comes from Cambridge, Wisconsin. She was graduated from Lakeside Lutheran High School.

VB Season Rough The 1978 Lancerette volleyball season ended with almost an even record, but many of the matches they lost were only by a few points. Competition was tough, as the team played against much larger colleges and universities. The team finished 3rd in the U of M-Morris Invitational by defeating St. Teresa's 15-8, 15-1; Northern State 15-8, 15-8; and the U of M-Morris 8-15, 15-10, 156. The Lancerettes had a fourth place finish in the Macalester Invitational, defeating St. Benedict's and Concordia-St. Paul. They defeated St. Teresa and St. Scholastica in the St. Mary's Invitational. Volleyball coaches, Judy Wade and Barbara Leopold, had the team's daily practices

divided into equal periods of warm-up exercises, weightlifting, skills practice, and scrimmaging. This kept the players busy and allowed ample time for improvement of skills. With several freshmen on the team this year, DMLC can expect an improving team in the next few years. Team members this year included seniors Carol Buelow a nd Rachel Kaesmeyer; juniors Beth Fischer, Karen Kraklow, Crystal Roemhildt, and Kay Shambeau; sophomore Sue Wendorf; and freshmen Pat Bass, Janet Ebert, Barb Frey, Greenemeier , Beth Joy Kemnitz, Liz Petermann, Wendy Pfeiffer, Rita Putz, Lori Thompson, Jeanne Wade, and Carrie Waldschmidt.

The Lancers closed out their edition of the '78 football season with a split in their last two games, ( dropping a tough 31-25 decision to Mt. Senario) and downing the boys from Pillsbury, 22-13. DMLC felt the loss of several key players down the stretch, but nonetheless, the Lancers packed their fall gear away with a very respectable 44 mark. Among those lost to injuries in the season's closing games were regulars Mark Boileau, Paul Bauer, Craig Winkler, and Dan Madson. The Lancers finished third in both the MRCC and TRCC and gave their faithful Luther followers plenty to cheer about in Luther Bowl. As Coach Gorsline put it, "We played exciting football this year. There was really only one game we were out of, and that was against Dana in the season opener." DMLC had three representatives on the MRCC AllConference team: Kim Techlin, Jim Hahn, and Glenn Ebeling. Techlin, Hahn, Ebeling, and Al Greschner were honored as TRCC selection. In retrospect all of the players, coaches, and fans can be very, very proud of their 1978 DMLC football team.

···MESSENGER Sing His Praises This year's Christmas concert marks the end of an era. The DMLC-MLA Christmas concert has traditionally been one activity which the Academy and College shared. But no more. With the Academy's upcoming move to Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin, this shall end. To mark this occasion a tworecord album of this year's concert will be made. Another change from past

programs is the fact that the concert will be held on two nights instead of one. This will hopefully alleviate the crowded conditions usually faced at the Friday night concert. It will also provide an opportunity for students leaving early to hear the concert. Because this concert is our last joint appearance, we wish the Academy the best for next year.

He was called here to help relieve the situation caused by Prof. Hoenecke's retirement. The area, however, is familiar to him for he told me he is a former MLA graduate and a native of Brainerd, Minnesota. His classes are History of Israel with the freshmen, and Doctrine II with the juniors.

Mrs. Lucille Wessel

Wessel was born in Fort Atkinson, Wis. where she attended St. Paul's Lutheran Church and also the Christian Day School from grades five through eight. From there she went on to graduate from Martin Luther Academy and DMLC. Mrs. Wessel truly feels that her decision to become a teacher was influenced by her own wonderful teachers in her early life. Her first call was to Atonement Lutheran School in Milwaukee, where she taught for two years. It was there that she mc:1nitu P, uL Hv ....~ Wessel in 1956. Together they moved to Fairmont, Minn. where she taught the primary grades at St. Paul's Lutheran School and also started a kindergarten there. In 1958 the Wessels made Red wing, Minnesota their home, where at St. John's Congregation another kindergarten began under the care and guidance of Mrs. Wessel. Since 1960, when her husband accepted the call to DMLC, she has devoted her time to raising quite a large family. Mrs. Wessel is currently teaching third grade at St. Paul's School and is the supervisor of student teachers.

and senior classes. Fifteen of these received monetary awards for outstanding scholastic achievement, based upon cumulative grade-point averages. Seniors being recognized are Jeanine Heller, Lori Woldt, Sharon Reichel, Debra Schmolesky, and Jay Minzlaff. Two other seniors, Greg Schmill and Carolyn Sieh will be honored at a later date because they are out emergency teaching. The juniors are Crystal Roemhildt, Margaret Spaude, Eileen Plath, Ruth Wicke, and Robert Waedekin. The sophomores are Cynthia Roemhildt, Jill Douglas, Amy Templin, Susan Wendorf, and Steven Grosinske. The funds for these scholarship awards came from the Aid Association for Lutherans Church Vocation College Support System Grant for students in the student

benefit category of the 1978-1979 academic year. In addition to the above scholarships, thirtytwo other upper-classmen received grants-in-aid from the AAL grant. The total AAL grant that was disbursed was $11,700. There are also two sources of money from private donations. One of these is the Theodore and Maria Precht Scholarship which was established by the members and friends of the Precht family. These people recognized the urgent need to encourage more young people to prepare for active work as teachers, and to aid and encourage students in the pursuit of these Christian goals. This year's award was shared by three seniors, Gretchen Troge and Judy and Linda Hasbargen. Including this year's award, $9,-000 has been presented to ( cont. on page 2)

Learn to Procrastinate!

NIGHT-HIKE OF LlFE By Jane Huseman Night-hiking, an excellent, innovative form of entertainment and exercise, is in several respects reminiscent of the various encounters and experiences of our everyday lives. When one makes his first attempt at walking through a wooded area or other good hiking region, during the late evening hours, with no light other than the moon and stars by which to distinguish the route, it promises to be a feat of eminent merit. Shadows against darker shadows are the only indication of high and low places, trees, bushes and other unidentified objects along the trail. First, one must overcome the paranoia likely to be aroused by this new and unique undertaking. As soon as one is relaxed and able to step forward with a free, yet searching pace, it becomes vastly easier and more enjoyable than were the first fumbling, uncertain steps. Often, such is also the case as we go through life. Many obstacles loom before us dimly. Unfamiliar with the nature of them, we at first may not be able to grasp their true significance or deal with them effectively. Rifts in friendships, problems within one's family, or at school, will occur. When one becomes sufficiently certain of oneself and is capable of handling his own insecurities and overcoming his own weaknesses, then half the battle is won. From there, one can go forward with assurance and ease, realizing that though an occasional branch or rock may

hold him back or cause him to stumble, one can always recover adequately enough to get back up and continue forward, all the more confident and knowledgeable for the experience. The walk becomes more fun as one strides forward with anticipation for whatever lies ahead. At times, familiar territory is trod.for the sake of the comfort and leisure it affords. We have a need to be around the old reliable fixtures of life that we hold nearly sacred : being with long-time friends, playing the old, standby games, and faithfully frequenting the same haunts. On other occasions, an adventurous spirit demands an expedition into new and intriguing areas. Such animation remains undaunted in the face of unexpected ruts and winding trails. It is as in life, when one is compelled to search for something different and unique. It may result in a totally fresh approach to an old problem, such as giving up the security of a dull or mediocre job in favor of taking a chance on a more challenging one. New visions, even in a familiar landscape, at such times are a source of motivation. Whatever path is taken, however, it will eventually lead back to where it began. By the same token, our lives will ultimately return to their origin. Finally, we will have come full circle, and arriving at the place and in the form from which our bodies were derived, will also find analogical the passage, "Ashes to ashes, dust to dust ... "

LEFT FOR TIIOSE TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN By CindyAlbrecht Though a left-handed person's life is filled with endless backward adjustments, he should, at the same time, feel a strong sense of pride for this peculiar trait. H you, like me, are lefthanded, you more than likely have had to tolerate ridicule and abuse by the majority. You have been discriminated against left and right, and are set at a definite disadvantage. But, before shaking our left fists in rebellion, let's allow time to reconsider the many gifts and talents that we may possess. Did you know that " lefties" are likely to be more imaginative and creative than the rest? Yes, this includes the fields of both art and music. Picasso, Michaelangelo, and Leonardo Da Vinci were all southpaws! Left-handers usually aren't the oddballs out on the playing field either. Athletic ability is another common characteristic of our minority species. Whether it be on the field, track, ice rink, tennis court, or in an Olympic-size pool, makes no difference. A few examples are Babe Ruth, Bruce Jenner, Dorothy Hamill, Jimmy Conners, and Mark Spitz. However, the listing of famous people is not to make us

left-handers feel more at home. In general population we range from 6-11 percent. We indeed represent a limited minority! The dominant remainder of the human race has had some degree of pity on us fortunate souls. Day-to-Oay devices have been redesigned for our convenience. Musical instruments, Polaroid cameras, baseball gloves, golf clubs, typewriters, English automobiles, and even one-armed bandits reflect this truth. Before getting too wrapped up in the favorable aspects, let us consider the argumentative side. There is plenty of substantial evidence. In foreign cultures, the terms "left" and "left-handedness" also have negative connotations. A French second meaning is awkward, and the Russians imply a sinistral side to the word. These prejudices aren't restricted to alien countries. Every morning, I must wind my watch before strapping it to my wrist. In the classroom, pencil sharpeners, desktops, an doorknobs are all backwards. Page number one occurs at the end of a true " lefty" book. The spiral-bound notebooks are also a real headache, and as we write, the words can be read a second time on the side of our left hands. That's why so many of us have resorted to a

Scholarships (cont. from page 1) "provide tuition assistance to students selected on the basis of scholarship and need." Another ten students shared in the disbursement of $2,000 as grants-in-aid from the proceeds of the John Wischstadt estate . From these private donations, the AAL, congregations, federal and state scholarships and grants, Dr. Martin Luther College students have received a total of $132,023 in gift assistance as of November 30.

I have always maintained that if you are going to procrastinate, you may as well do it correctly. There are many examples here on campus of the proper way to go about putting things off. There are also many people who never learned the art of wasting time, so maybe they can be enlightened. Perhaps the best way to prepare to procrastinate is to know the wrong places to do it. The expert knows that the library is no place for avoiding what must be done. • The atmosphere there is too studious and too conducive to getting something accomplished. You simply cannot procrastinate in a room filled with people who are busy studying. Another incorrect thing to do is to be quiet during quiet hours in the dorm. Silent study will just never do. You might crank your stereo up to full volume or

Whatever happened to the good old-fashioned Christmas? Has it gone the way of the candle-lit Christmas tree and the German-sung carols? Presumably. Yet behind the synthetic tinsel and aluminum trees there leers real tradition. Remember the proverbial Yule log? Among other traditions connected with this venerable burning, there was one which included placing a young child on the wood as it began to burn. His nerve or timidity at this moment is said to have foretold his future spirit of daring. Here's a bizarre one. An old Scottish New Year's Eve archaism tells that on New Year's Eve a man would put on an old cowhide and run around a crowded room while others beat him with clubs. What more can I say? Still want more? Another Scottish tradition (I'm beginning to wonder about those Scotch) involved filling a barrel with tar and firebrands and carrying it around town. It was then tossed into the crowd and the burning fragments were carried home and used for, believe it or not, charms against witchcraft. There was some medieval feast held at this time of year, the Feast of Fools, which was led by one Lord of Misrule. On this joyous occasion, there took place what psychologists today call role reversal. The men and women exchanged dress, the lords served their slaves, and a boy was even chosen as bishop for a day. I could go on, but I think you get the general idea. "But," you say, "that isn't an old-fashioned Christmas - that's positively prehistoric!'' Precisely. Even as times change, so do traditions and, while some people like the good old earthy smell of pine trees, others don't like picking needles out of their carpets. Christmas comes only once a year. And every year traditions originate and traditions terminate. But the truth of the matter is that only one thing is really important and all the traditions in the world will have no effect on that. With this in mind, whatever traditions you choose to observe or forsake, the DMLC Messenger staff wishes you a Merry Christ-centered Christmas and a Blessed New Year. --~

cramped, inverted hand style of writing. Of course the typical handshake is done right-handed. And if you're ever in court, notice which hand is raised in taking the oath. Why are automobile ignitions placed to the right of the steering apparatus? And why are soup ladles made with youknow-who in mind? Once you're at the table you'll probably spill it anyhow, bumping elbows with your neighbor to your immediate left. About the worst thing we 've got to grapple with are those "how to" films and books forcing southpaws to translate every " right" into "left" as we stand in front of a mirror wearing a perplexed expression.

As a result of all this, "lefties" have earned the reputation of being stubborn and difficult. The United States has had two left-handed Presidents: Truman , who dropped the bomb, and Ford, who pardoned Nixon. But what do the others expect of us innocent victims? We just don't want to be left out, left behind, left over, put out in left field, or given a left-handed remark, such as, "Southpaw!" We are not abnormal. Prejudices against us are only based on unjustifiable ancient superstition and misconceptions. It's a good thing there are also a fair number of impartial gadgets out there. We'll never have to complain about ladders, water glasses, or diving boards.

engage your roommate in a conversation about members of the opposite sex. H your next door neighbors are trying to study, you should invite them over. You'll want them to become avid fans of procrastination and if you keep the stereo loud enough, they may even become participants. A nice place to practice procrastination is in the ironing room. Here you can pretend to be diligently studying while actually waiting for someone else to come in and talk. It's amazing how little chatter sessions just happen at midnight while a half dozen people are sitting with notebooks in their laps. The most effective way to put things off is to sponsor a popcorn party in your room. Many students at DMLC have mastered this phase of procrastination. One simply starts popping and as the smell fills the dorm, bodies begin to invade one's room. This is usually an excellent way to waste approximately four hours. Well, now that the general principles are known, one can begin to practice them. Christmas vacation would make an effective starting point. Enjoy it!

Rev. Diener Spreads the Word Through Campus Ministry By Dawn Fuerstenau

Dr. Ames Anderson presides at the organ.

Dr. Anderson Executes a Rendition of Past and Present Music By Dave Hagen An organ recital was performed by Dr. Ames Anderson of our music faculty on January 7, 1979, at 8 p.m. in our chapelauditorium. This recital featured works by composers of the past and present. The program opened with four works by Johann Sebastian Bach : Prelude and Fugue in D. Major (BWV 532); and three of his chorale preludes: "Savior of the Nations, Come" (BWV 659), " In Thee is Gladness ( BWV 615 )" and " In Peace and Joy I Now Depart (BWV 616) ." The latter two selections are taken from Bach's Orgelbuecblein. The first half of the program closed with the very inspiring "Fantasy in F Minor (KV 608)" by Mozart. The second portion of the program consisted of works by composers of the twentieth century. These works were "Fantasy (1970) " by Gerald Near ; " Parables (1974)" by

Gerhard Brand, based on the parables of the Wedding Garment and the parable of the Harvest, and as a finale, Finale from the Fifth Symphony (1924) by Louis Vierne. After receiving his B.A. and M.A . at the University of Minnesota, Dr. Anderson taught at St. Olaf College, coming to our campus in 1961. He completed his doctoral studies at the University of , Minnesota, Minneapolis, in June 1977 under Heinrich Fleischer and in August of that year was awarded a Doctor of Musical Arts degree, a performance degree. Dr. Anderson chose to complete his studies at the University of Minnesota because it was nearby, because the university added the OMA program in 1974, and because Fleischer was the instructor for the program. He also wanted a degree in performance, not in musicology.

"Do you picture public universities as dens of iniquity with hoards of heathenistic, immoral students milling around, never going to class and causing nothing but trouble? "If this is your conception of university life, you've been misinformed," so says Rev. Robert Diener, head of the WELS Campus Ministries at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh. Rev. Diener spoke here at DMLC on January 11 about his work at UW Oshkosh. Although there are 1000 WELS members out of the 10,000 student at UW Oshkosh, Rev. Diener sees his work as not only preaching to these who are already members of the church, but also reaching out to all those who are unchurched. Campus House, the headquarters of the Ministries on the UW Oshkosh campus, is the center of all events involving the students. The Synod bought this comfortable house in 1969 for the express purpose of housing the Campus Ministries program, and in 1977 called Rev . Diener as its fulltime worker.

Campus Ministries at UW Oshkosh has a five-point program that expresses the purpose in its work. The first purpose is its offering of worship services. Although attendance started out small, it is growing tremendously, so well, in fact, that they are outgrowing their chapel in the Campus House. Services are held Sunday mornings and Wednesday evenings, and because a great many of those who attend are non-Lutherans, the whole service has been printed out in contemporary English. Bible studies are also offered on Sunday mornings and on various weekend retr~ats held throughout the year. Here many receive added benefits of this indepth study of the Bible in an informal atmosphere. The third purpose of the program is to provide counseling. Campus Ministries provides a pastor available to students who have questions or problems. Good tunes are also offered through social events and an-. nual parties. Students may use the facilities at Ca!Qpus House any time for studying,

socializing, or just relaxing. Working together is the fifth purpose of the program . Students themselves get directly involved in the Ministries and learn to run it themselves. Campus Ministries at UW Oshkosh has been richly blessed. Not only has it served already confirmed Lutherans, but sees many unchurched come through its doors and reaches their hearts too. Like so many other worthwhile programs, Campus Ministries is short on funds. It lacks money to advertise its work to let people know about the program. The speaker also pointed out that the ministries at UW Oshkosh, because of its success, is fast outgrowing its present Campus House and needs new facilities. With more funds , the Campus Ministries program could be reevaluated and could provide better service to more students. Rev. Diener says that Campus Ministries is not just a Young People's Society, but a program that reaches out with God's Word not just to WELS students, but to all souls.

Pangolin Puppeteers Perforin By Laurie Steeby On Wednesday, February 14, as a special Valentine's Day treat, the DMLC campus was privileged to have the Pangolin troupe of puppeteers perform. They gave two separate performances in the evening and ·offered a workshop for the art students in the afternoon. The afternoon sessions were spent in demonstrating how to make puppets from virtually anything. Anything included such items as knots, string, pillow cases, hangers, and shoes. When they said "anything," they meant it! The troupe asks that each person bring six items, and then they work with them in the designing of their own puppets. The evening performances gave an excellent opportunity to see the art of puppeteering and

were quite entertaining. There were three skits in which many puppets appeared, including Grezelda, an old woman, Maid Mary and her "Mummy," and an ugly, but charming rat, named Squealer. The skits were obviously geared for children, and those who were there thoroughly enjoyed them. The Pangolin Puppet troupe has been touring since 1976 and were seen in the 1978 Minnesota Renaissance Festival. They are from Minneapolis, and two of the puppeteers, Cheryl Bartholemew and Charlanne Karapetian, are pursuing bachelor's degrees in puppetry at the University of Minnesota. All in all, their performances and workshops were very enjoyable and offered a little relief from the February blahs.

-from the Editor's desk-There seems to be a lot of attention riveted these days upon America's "forgotten child," and handicapped child. This is to be commended. As Christians and as humans, it is our duty to show our love and concern for the handicapped. Thus the trend in the education of today's educators is for one to become more specialized in his field. In the meantime; DMLC keeps turning out teachers whose proof of their specialization is no more than a few extra credits in science, social studies, music, or what have you. So we may begin to feel as though we aren't capable of handling learning-disabled children, and become rather dissatisfied with our education. Psychologists tell us that we can expect to find 1 learningdisabled child out of every 8 children in our classrooms. It is very likely that in our parochial schools, this number may be smaller because of our lack of facilities; nonetheless, the problem still exists. We may feel unable to teach these children, but we still have to deal with them because we are

Sjerven Revives History

committed to teaching them. Psychologists also tell us that handicapped children are more like than unlike typical children. This would indicate that the knowledge we acquire in our preparation for teaching average children is just as necessary for the teaching of the handicapped. . Their basic needs are still present - as is their sinfulness. Did I say we were unspecialized? By no means! The most basic of all needs is that need for a Savior to free our souls. That is our specialization - training the children of Jesus. With His command not to offend His little ones, our first concern must be with the training of their souls, and then with their minds. Don't lose interest in special education. Unhappily, our schools aren't as well equipped in this area as they should be. But don't feel you are incapable of teaching anything to handicapped youngsters if you have never had special training. They need to hear God's Word every bit as much as anyone else, and that is our specialization.

Have a superior springtime.

Profs-Find Comfort In the last year, the Campus Planning Committee has been working on the remodeling and refurbishing of the faculty lounge. To achieve this, the committee had to rely heavily on some willing outside of the faculty help. The ladies of the Pilgrims Evening Guild have done a lot of the menial work as they have donated their time to make the large eight-foot lined panel drapes. These have really brightened and given a " touch of class" to the previously old classroom. The Guild , an organization of the Pilgrim Ev. Lutheran Church in Minneapolis, has also donated and made the valance. For both of these the faculty thanks them most heartily! To complete the job, carpeting was installed, new furniture ( including a T. V. ) was placed into the revitalized room of golden brown decor. The teachers can now enjoy good coffee and their favorite soap opera in the comfort of a new, homey faculty lounge. Walk in, and see it if you haven't yet!

Ph.D.

While most of us are about to embark on another semester full of promises for a big workload, there is one among us who has the right to rest a little and breathe a sigh of relief. Prof. Wandersee earned that right as of Dec. 22 when he graduated from Marquette University in Milwaukee with a Ph.D. in curriculum and instruction in the field of science. This is his first year here at DMLC and he has spent the past five years. in attaining his degree. Previous to his coming here, he spent ten years teaching at Wisconsin Lutheran High School, so he is familiar with many of the faces on our campus. He enjoys the students and faculty, and thinks our campus is equipped with good facilities. So next time you see Prof. Wandersee, congratulate him; he surely deserves it.

Lancers Com e of Age Our Lancers have been playing exciting, scrappy, hustling basketball this season, but as Coach Gorsline says, "None of the teams we play are pushovers. Before every game we expect a tough battle." The result is a very respectable 8-.a season mark for Luther as of semester break. DMLC 73, PILLSBURY 65 The Lancers boosted their season record to 4-2 with a hardfought victory over the Pillsbury Comets, 73-65. The Lancer's balanced attack placed four men in double figures with Mark Karnitz's 14 points leading the way. Don Madson matched the number on his jersey with a sterling 30-point performance as the Luther JV's downed their Pillsbury counterparts, 83-66. DMLC 90, VITERBO 77 Senior Paul Snamiska, one of Luther's steadier performers, erupted for a season high 25 points to lift the Lancers to a 9077 win over Viterbo. Dick Huebner and Daryl Weber chipped in 14 and 13 points respectively. Ron Draeger poured in 22 points while teammate Dan Madson netted 20 as the Lancer · JV's rolled on with an exciting 87-a:3 win. The Lancers outscored Viterbo 54-43 in the second half for their come-from behind victory. DMLC 72, NORTH CENTRAL BIBLE 70 DMLC trailed by four at half but came back with a big second half flurry to down North Central Bible, 72-70. Dick Huebner topped Luther scorers with 18 points. The win lifted DMLC's season record to 6-2. Tim - Torgerson and Mark Schultz tallied 20 and 17 points respectively as the Luther JV's

demolished NCB, 85-35. It was their fifth win in six games. SOUTH DAKOTA TOURNEY

The Lancers played in a South Dakota Holiday Tournament over the Christmas break and ran into some rather stiff competition. DMLC dropped a tough 84-70 decision to Huron College despite a brilliant 28point performance by Dan Kuehl, and then fell prey to Dickinson University, 107~. DORDT 99, DMLC 56

The Lancers traveled to Iowa to meet the Dordt Defenders and ended up on the short end of a 99-56 score for their third straight loss. Once again Dan Kuehl, DMLC's season scoring leader, had the hot hand with 18 points. DMLC's JV's suffered their second defeat of the season at the hands of Dordt, 91-82. Paul Thiesfeldt led the Lancer attack with 22 points. DMLC 92, MINNESOTA BIBLE 72 Lancer center Jim Unke rippled the nets for 22 points as DMLC swamped "-'innesota Bible, 92-72. Dick HUt:u,hr and Dan Kuehl added 12 apiece. The win was Luther's seventh in twelve tries. Three Lancer JV's hit the 20 points as Luther whipped the Minnesota Bible JV's, 96-53. Craig Morgan turned in a 27point effort, followed by Tim Torgerson with 22 and Mark Schultz with 20. MT. SENARIO 89, DMLC 80 In one of the more exciting home games of the year, the Lancers lost a tough game to TRCC rival Mt. Senario College, 89-80. The visitors outscored Luther 27-20 in the final ten minutes to pull away for the victory. Sophomore Dan Kuehl, whose accurate perimeter

shooting kept Luther in the contest, netted 24 points while Mark Karnitz added 20. ST. PAUL BIBLE 69, DMLC 64

Mark Karnitz and Paul Bauer tallied 16 and 13 points respectively but in a losing cause as St. Paul Bible swept past the Lancers, 69-64. Luther trailed by as many as 15 in the first half before falling short with a second-half rally. The Lancer's JV's broke a 3232 halftime tie and went on to defeat SPB, 78-64. Craig Morgan sparked Luther with 17 points. DMLC 66, NORTHWESTERNROSEVILLE 64

Northwestern of Roseville invaded New Ulm hoping to avenge an early season loss to the Lancers. Not to be undone, however, were a healthy Paul Bauer and a host of determined Lancers' as DMLC overrode the visitors, 66-64. Bauer, fully recovered from an assortment of injuries, drilled home 20 points, including a pair of clutch free throws down the stretch which iced the game for Luther. Dick Huebner aided the Luther cause with 13 points while Jim Unke added 11. CONCORDIA-ST. PAUL 60, DMLC 58 In one of the tougher road

games of the season, the Lancers went to the wire with Concordia-St. Paul only to fall short by a 60-58 margin. Daryl Weber led all scorers with a sparkling 21-point effort. The loss dropped DMLC's record to an even 8-.a mark. The Lancer JV's suffered a similar fate, bowing to Concordia, 78-61. Scott Herrewig turned in a 14-point performance for the Lancers, now 7-3 on the season.

Drama Club Goes

Elizabethan · By Dawn Brooks As spring approaches, the

thoughts of DMLC students turn to the annual musical which is going to be held this year on March 30 & 31 at 8 p.m. And April 1 at 2:30 & 8 p.m. The musical which has been chosen for 1979 is "Kiss, Me, Kate!" It is a musical love story set against the events of the opening night of a musical version of Shakespeare's "Taming of the Shrew" at Ford's Theatre in Baltimore. All the action takes place in and around the theater, starting at 5 o'clock on a hot afternoon at the end of a run-through of "The Shrew" and ends with the foll production that night. The leading characters are Frederick Graham (Dave Covach), actor, producer, director, and Lilli Vanessi (Jan Nelson), Hollywood star, who were once married to each other and terribly in love. They still are, in fact, on this, the first anniversary of their divorce. But neither will admit it. These two play opposite each other in "The Shrew" as Petruchio and Katherine. The musical is a play within a play, the personal story paralleling Shakespeare's "Shrew", and the action of the two often flow together. Fred and Lilli are both shorttempered, selfish, lovable, and vulnerable. The drudgery of four week's rehearsal hasn't been conducive to any meeting of the minds (much less the

hearts), especially as Lilli notes that Fred seems to have more than a producer's interest in Lois Lane (sue Roland), who plays Bianca, Katherine's sister, in the Shakespeare play. Fred on his part can't help noting the growing interest of Harrison Howell (Dave Niemi), the "angel" of the show, in Lilli. Harrison Howell is a kind of younger statesman, whose extreme wealth allows him to play advisor to the Administration. He is a gentleman, a scholar, and a bore. Lois Lane is stricly on the make. There's only one man for her, Bill Calhoun ( Dale Opperrnann), a bit actor and a hoofer in the show. He plays Lucentio, Bianca's suitor, in "The Shrew." She got Bill the job and kept a wary eye on him during rehearsals, knowing his weakness for ·gambling. But between the run-through and the show, Bill gets into a friendly poker game - and loses, Lois learns that he has impersonated Fred Graham, and thereby hangs our plot. Pulling this production together are Director Julie Kalbus, Assistant Director Steve Grosinske and Producers Diane Flunker and John Kanter. Julie is very confident about the outcome of the show. "There's lots of talent here," she said. So, make plans now to attend "Kiss Me, Kate!" on March 30, 31 or April 1 and see for yourselves how the plot resolves.

Grapplers Rebuild This year was a rebuilding year for the DMLC wrestling team. However, you certainly wouldn't guess that from their performance. Not having the numbers as in previous years, the Lancers gave us a gutsy performance.-Newcomers Paul Hough, Jim Schneck, Jeff Kurbis, Tim Baneck, and Tim Bentz added courage and enthusiasm to the Grapplers' year. Returnees Paul Ryder, Glenn Ebeling, Dave Paustian and Emil Schuh gave their experience to the team effort. Arnold List and Bentz had the most successful seasons as far as records go, with Bentz winning the NLCAA tourney at 190; List won both the TRCC and MRCC at 142. H the wrestlers can keep improving, DMLC will be back on the winning track. Wrestling is· a young sport at DMLC (only five years).

Official awards match to wrestler Tim Bentz.

Varsity Win Some, Lose Some This year has been filled with its ups and downs for the Lancers. The end of the season proved what ability the team has. Coach Gorsline and his players are looking forward to the tournaments at the season's close. The Lancers had close games with Mt. Senario and lost both by a few points. The highlight of the season's end was the defeat of Concordia-St. Paul, 72-55. The Comets had defeated the Lancers earlier in the season. The team then beat St. Paul

Bible, 69-59. They too naa beaten the Lancers early in the season. However, St. Paul Bible defeated DMLC in the MRCC tournament, 72-63. DMLC then blasted Pillsbury by 42 points to capture third place in the tourney. The Lancers finished in a tie with Viterbo for the MRCC crown and finished runnerup in the TRCC. The Lancers will be traveling to Nebraska fo1 the NLCAA tourney. This Lancer team was a scrappy, hustling, defenseoriented ballclub.

Coach Gorsline is looking forward to next year as seven of the top ten players return with a very good JV squad. Seniors Paul Bauer, Dick Huebner, and Paul Snamiska played their final home game against St. Paul Bible. This season also marked a first for DMLC basketball tradition - ·The Bleacher Bums. They added cheering and enthusiasm to the home crowd; they too are looking forward to Lancer basketball 1980.

Anyone attending a women's basketball game since Christmas vacation has seen only exciting, action-packed, hard-fought ball games. Three of the four home games have been one-point decisions. The Lancerettes fared quite well against Southwest State on January 6, but still lost 80-53. It was the first game of the new year and the women were anxious to play after a 2½ week lay-off. Rachel Kaesmeyer pumped in 23 points, with Lur Landry chipping in 8. The Lancerettes dropped the next game to St. Cate's in a tough decision 70-71. Everyone played well, but just couldn't pull it off. Kaesmeyer dumped in 28 big ones, with Landry adding a 16-point effort. Later in the week, on the 13th, the women ran up against Augsburg and dropped another one-pointer by a score of 50-49. With 15 seconds to go, our team had the ball but failed to capitalize on last shot. "We beat ourselves," Coach Leopold said. "We missed a lot of layups,hadfastbreaks,andran into foul trouble in the first half." The big difference was in free throws. Augsburg hit 20 of 34 from the fifteen-foot free line, while DMLC could accumulate only 9 of 21. Kaesmeyer again led the scoring with 17. Barb Frey chipped in with 9. Lori Thompson, who has been greatly improving on both offense and defense, pulled down 12 rebounds. In the next game against Gustavus, in 'which the Lancerettes came out on top by 12, Thompson dominated the

boards for both teams with her 22 caroms. Fos Hirsch had one of her best offensive shows with 12 points. In the battle against St. Olaf, the Lancerettes finally ended up on top in the one-point decision category, winning the hardfought game by a score of 59-58. All gave out their best efforts and it especially helped in the full-court defensive press. When one gets four steals in a row on the press, and gets 8 points off it, the momentum is in full gear and that's exactly what happened to the Lancerettes. Coach Leopold called it a "total team effort." St. Olaf tied up the score in the second half but the DMLC girls would not give them any more. Lori Thompson again led all rebounders with 11, while Fos Hirsch collected 6. January 20 found the Luther women in Winona pitted against St. Mary's. It was pretty much of a sloppy game with quite a few turnovers and DMLC dropped the game 59-54. The team really appreciated the multitudes of fans who turn out at games to cheer for them. Remaining games find the Lancerettes pitted against BETHANY on January 29, Southwest on the 30th, MANKATO STATE ON February 1, Hamline on February 6, Winona State on February 10, ST.

Guthrie Players Tour DMLC by Dave Hagen

America's past recently came alive in the chapel auditorium. The Guthrie Players on Tour from the Guthrie Theatre in Minneapolis presented "Americana" in the chapel - auditorium on March 14 and 15. The members of this group also conducted workshops for students on those two days. The two workshops were conducted in the art room during ninth hour. A workshop on make-up was conducted by Elizabeth Bussey, stage

Dr. Ewald Nolte Gives a Dissertation on Pachelhel by Nancy Beck

A music forum was held on campus for the DMLC music staff and students on March 23 and 24. The forwn centered upon the life and work of the composer, Johann Pachelbel. Johann Pachelbel (1653-1706) was a predecessor of Bach and

contributed greatly to our heritage of Lutheran church music. His major work was in the area of organ and choral literature. Many of his compositions are used by organists in our churches today. One of the major purposes of

Prof Schenk Per£orms With the DMLC Band e

by Cheryl Schultz

What is there to do on a Sunday afternoon that is fun and relaxing? Well, on Sunday March 11, 1979, at 1: 30, there was definitely something entertaining and relaxing. The DMLC Symphonic Concert Band and The Wind Ensemble with Prof. Otto Schenk as guest pianist performed a concert. This took place in the chapelauditorium. Under the direction of Prof. Roger Hermanson, the bands provided delightful music to all who attended. The first section of the program was performed by the Symphonic Concert Band. They played such numbers as "The Scheffordshire Regiment" by Kenneth Witcomb; ''Fantasy on

'Black is the Color of My True Love's Hair' " by Alfred Reed; and "The Spirit of Our Land" by Frank Bencriscuto. After a brief intermission, the Wind Ensemble returned to play several pieces. The pieces included "Fanfare for the Common Man" by Aaron Copland; "The Planets" by Gustav Holst. "Rhapsody in Blue" by George Gershwin, was performed beautifully by guest soloist Prof. Otto Schenk. He was accompanied by the Wind Ensemble. The program ended with the Wind Ensemble's ,playing "Semper Fidelis" by ,John Phillip Sousa. For those who were unable to attend this concert, there will be a Jazz Ensemble Concert on May 17, at 8:00.

the forum was to examine Pachelbel's influence on Bach and on Lutheran music in general. The forum was not a lecture series but rather an active workshop in which the staff put their ideas to the learning process. Organ works were performed by faculty members and the college choir presented one of Pachelbel's choral works. Discussion followed these presentations. The guest speaker was Dr. Ewald Nolte of North Carolina. Dr. Nolte is the retired director of the Moravian Music Foundation and a former professor of music theory at Northwestern University, Evanston. Dr. Nolte's doctoral study in dealt with musicology Pachelbel and the composer is the subject of Dr. Nolte's doctoral dissertation. The newest edition of Grove's Dictionary of Music and Musicians will contain an ar-

ticle on Pachelbel by Dr. Nolte. He is an alumnus of Martin Luther Academy. The music division forums are conducted to provide inservice training for the DMLC music staff. They give them an opportunity to gain knowledge and insight and thereby improve their instruction to the students.

manager for the Guthrie Players on Tour. Steven Marcus, one of the actors, conducted a workshop on stage presence. These workshops were also conducted in some sections of the Poetry and Drama Class. The evening presentation "Americana" was presented by Steven Marcus and Carlotta Schoch. "Americana" was written especially for this year's tours, and featured songs and stories of people from our nation's past, based on factual accounts from diaries, books, and letters.

''Kiss Me, Kate'' Tak es Shape Did you ever sit and watch a play or musical and ever stop to wonder what might be going on behind the stage curtain? Or think about all the different people who work together to make such a show possible. Let me take you "behind the scenes" and show you what is going on while we wait for the curtain to go up on "Kiss Me, Kate!" First, let me ask you, how did you hear about "Kiss Me, Kate!''? Was it by posters, flyers, a notice in the church bulletin, or an article in the newspaper? These things were all the result of the hard work of the publicity committee. They wrote letters and addressed piles of envelopes. After you decided that you were going to come, you reserved your tickets. That was

taken care of by the people on the ticket committee. It is their job to see that everyone gets a place to sit, and that there are not two people occupying the same seat. Now you're here at DMLC waiting for the show to begin. That pretty girl who met you at the door and directed you to your seat is an usherette. It is her job to make sure that everyone finds his seat and has a program. Most likely she made that pretty outfit that she has on. Now that you're settled in your seat, sit back and listen to the overture by the orchestra. If you strain your eyes, perhaps you can see them sitting over there on the left ... These people have been practicing for weeks to get every note just right. cont. on page 4

DMLC Choirs Participate in Choral Vespers "Behold the Lamb of God," was the theme of this year's choral vesper service, held on March 18. The Chapel Choir, College Chorale, Treble Choir, and the Academy Choir and Chorus all participated under the directions of Prof. Ronald Shilling, Prof. Roger Hermanson, Mrs. Joyce Schubkegel, and Prof. Kermit Moldenhauer, respectively. Each choir sang two or three numbers praising our crucified, risen, and glorified Lord. Prof. Lloyd Huebner served

as the liturgist and Prof. James Schneider preached the sermon, based on the text I Peter 1:1~21.

Students also participated by playing the organ prelude to the service, the organ voluntary during the offering, and the organ postlude, and also by accompanying the choirs and hymns on the organ and various instruments. The service provided an excellent opportunity to extol the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world.

by pawn Fuer~tenau I didn't always want to become a Christian day school teacher. I do enjoy children, though, and had decided to choose a vocation that involved working mainly with children, such as a physical therapist or a teacher of the handicapped. I never even considered being a Lutheran grade school teacher because I thought I would get too bored with the daily routine day after day and year after year. However, in my junior year of high school, my attitude began to change. I looked back on my grade school years and remembered the fun I had had and the knowledge I had gained. I realized that the teachers I had had in grade school had successfully and enthusiastically taught me. They had enjoyed theiI: work, and their dedication inspired me. I diligently searched my heart, and for all the disadvantages I had counted as reasons for not entering the teaching ministry, I found advantages that more than made up for them. Making money is a necessary part of everyone's life. Being able to provide adequately for one's self and family is a prominent aspect when choosing a career. However, Lutheran teachers are not known for their large salaries. That disadvantage bothered me for awhile; even though I wouldn't have a family to

support, I did want a job where I could earn enough money for nice things. In time, though, I came to the conclusion that it wasn't a question of how much money, but of enough money. I realized that I was being rather greedy and concerned only with material things. Teachers' salaries may not enable them to live in mansions, but do provide enough for their daily welfare. God provides for His own, and would not let one of His own workers starve. Teaching is not a 9 to 5 job. A teacher cannot arrive five minutes before class, teach her lessons, and then leave at the bell. There are papers to take horn~ and correct, lessons to be planned, and schedules to be worked out. I've heard it said that a teacher spends more time preparing for a class than she does teaching it. I'ts a lot of hard work and can be both physically and mentally draining. Nevertheless, the rewards far outweigh the problems. A teacher has a great task before her in that she is responsible for the educational growth and maturity of the children under her care. A teacher puts herself into her work through her own knowledge, experience, and love of children. I can't imagine greater self-satisfaction than seeing a child grow in wisdom through my own efforts. Children have such bright, inquisitive minds that it makes

teaching a challenge. Even though it requires much timeconsuming work, reachine those young minds is a worthwhile reward. Children are not always on their best behavior, and sometimes the teacher has her hands full just keeping order in the classroom. Children can be trying, but the good in them makes up for it. A rapport develops between a teacher and her students. The students look to their teacher for guidance, and it is gratifying for a teacher to see children learn to trust and , respect her. Children have open minds and hearts, and give love freely. Teaching is more desirable than most other jobs becai.lSe of this close contact with children and their world. A teacher can sometimes get frustrated with herself and her work. She may feel that she is · just not getting anything across to the children, and that all her teaching is in vain. I feel this is a common problem among the working class; they feel their job isn't going anywhere and not worthwhile to anyone. Here the Lutheran teacher has her biggest advantage. While she may not be getting across the concept of dividing fractions to all her students, she is spreading the Word of God. That's the most important privilege a teacher has --to be able to teach God's little ones about the Savior. The children may not become crusaders for Christ overnight, but the teacher has the comfort that she planted that first seed of understanding, so that the Holy Ghost might continue to work faith in their hearts. What wonderful blessings God has given the teacher!

-.Prom the Edi tor's desk-If you've gone shopping for greeting cards lately, you may have looked at Easter cards. Usually they contine some ambiguous statement such as, "M~y the joys of the Easter season be with you." Being Christians, we interpret this to mean the Resurrection of our Lord. But how is this related to the other joys of Easter? Well, along with Easter comes spring. Here on the rolling plains of Minnesota, we really know what spring is. After a winter of sub-zero temperatures, biting wind chill factors, and snow that won't quit, a dripping icicle suspended from the eaves of the Academic Center can be a glorious sight. After seeing no greater color than the black of slumbering trees against the pale snow, we crave bright green grass and flowers. Sadly, the only grass we see now is a few brown tufts, no shadow of its former self. Those of us who are lucky enough to see flowers are probably enrolled in Prof. Swantz's botany class. Along with the end of winter comes the end of the dreaded third semester. Notorious for causi11g attitudes to slip and grades to slide, we usually find our spirits rising with the mercury. Before long we will once again witness the rebirth of nature. The robins will return and nest in the trees, once dead, but now alive with buds. The grass will be greener than we ever remembered it, and Prof. Swantz will take his botany class outside to look at flowers. All of which brings us back to the joys of Easter. It may be no coincidence that the Lord chose this time of year for us to celebrate our resurrection because of Christ's resurrection. What better way to see this illustrated once again this year! · The DMLC Messenger Staff wishes one and all a most joyous and relaxing Easter in our resurrected Lord.

Lancers Top

.500 The DMLC 1978-79 basketball season ended on a semi-happy note. The NLCAA District Tournament held at ConcordiaSt. Paul, found the Lancers playing Concordia, St. Paul in their first round match. It was a close, tight game. Ech team played its own game. DMLC was down by seven at halftime. Coach Gorsline put on the full court press and the game turned around. Craig Morgan and Paul Snamiska were sparkplugs this time. The game went into overtime, in which DMLC lost by a pair. Dick Huebner had a fine tourney, being named to the all-tournament team mainly because of his outside shooting. The second night, DMLC beat Viterbo for the consolation. There were five players in double figures and everybody played. As a season, it was different. The Lancers played their usual aggressive, scrappy basketball. They finished 14-13, a little better than last year, but the

competition was tougher also. The platooning used this season had more positive effects and was used well in an equally balanced team. Coach Gorsline urged us to watch for the same brand of basketball next year, as most players are returning.

Last year DMLC won the TRCC championship. Other hopefuls include Jim Wade, a strong golfer two years ago, John Homstad, Paul Berger and a few others. Look for Lancers making headlines - or at least birdies.

"Another drive, another slice" is not the Lancer's motto when it comes to golf. This year features probably the best golf team DMLC has had in years. Returnees include TRCC champ Paul Edmundson and MRCC champ Paul Snamiska. Coach Krueger must feel confident.

Lancerettes Close Out Season The Lancerettes have closed out another basketball season, and even though the loss column is longer than the win column, the girls still had lots of fun and showed even more enthusiasm at the end than ever before. The J.V. squad ended with a 4-7 record. The last four games were perhaps the tougliest on the schedule as three of these were with state colleges. At Southwest State on January 30, the Lancerettes kept the score pretty close until the end when the Pintos_pulled out to win ~44. Beth Lohmiller popped in 13 points and Karen Bauer 8. Per Priem and Rita Putz ripped down 11 and 9 rebounds, respectively. Two nights later Lohmiller let loose with 21 points at home against Mankato State, and right behind her again was Karen Bauer with 15. Despite the decent scoring, the !Sancerettes went down in defeat 79-60, but not without putting up a good fight and giving the Lady Mavericks a score. Feb. 10 took the Luther women on the long 4-hour trip to Winona, but only to lose 77-38. Little Ristow was high scorer

with 11, with Mary Hoag right behind, dumping in 8. February 13 marked the last game for the J.V.'s, and they were bound and determined to win it against Concordia-St. Paul. Through total team effort and a will never to say die, our eirls dumped the comets 57-49. Having a super night was freshman Liz Peterman, who dominated the boards for 14 rebounds and offensively hitting the rim for 9. Lohmiller was again high with 14 points and Ristow followed up with 10. This team showed great improvement in their ability to play together as a unit. Each of the players worked hard to improve her own skills as well. Although having to scramble against the much larger state schools, the Jr. Lancerettes won most of their games with private college opponents. Coach Wade has good reason to be proud that some of her players - Peg Priem, Wendy Ristow, Karen Bauer, and Beth Lohmiller - could make contributions in Varsity games and give the Varsity bench a little more depth.

In the District tourney the Varsity ended up short against Augsburg 52-42. Rachel Kaesmeyer ended her college career with a 17-point effort. Her total 1025-plus points is a DMLC women's record, which will no doubt remain unblemished for a few years yet. Lori Thompson dumped in 11 points and pulled down 9 rebounds, while Fos Hirsch hit the boards for 6 caroms. Carrie Waldschmidt scrambled around for 7 steals. The final record is 6-12, and Coach Leopold is proud that each one of her players "tried" their hardest and contributed their best effort in every game. It especially made her happy to see that many of the girls could still smile on the court even if they were losing and getting pushed around. This showed they could still have fun even when the going got rough. The players, coaches, and managers thank all of you loyal, devoted fans who took the time to go to the games and show your school spirit. Oh yes, Prof. Nolte - your seats are already reserved for the 79-80 season !

Racketeers Look Good The Lancers are hopeful. It's quite simple when you have seven lettermen returning for tennis. Other teams will be strong competition, but Coach Gorsline is anxiously awaiting this year's tennis team. Returnees include Lee Boerneke, Rich Siegler, Bill Otto,

Baseball Gets Frederick Graham (Dave Covach) and Lilli Vanessi (Jan Nelson) vocalize, backed up by the chorus, during a rehearsal of "Kiss Me, Kate." cont. from page 1 Let's slip backstage for just a moment. What's going on in this room? Normally a lecture room, it has been turned into a place where the actors come to get their make-up applied. You know, there's a trick to making a college student look like an older man. But the make-up committee members know how to do it. In this room, there's someone sitting at a sewing machine sewing. Let's hope that that is not a costume that she is finishing at the last minute but rather a repair she's making. The costume committee makes the costumes or alters costumes from previous shows for this one. Now we'll step into the stage

wings. This is where you'll find the members of the props and staging crews. The staging committee built the sets and are responsible for the scene changes during the performance. The proper committee got together all the pillows, furniture, and other things that make the set look like a real place. During the show they make sure that everything is in place, that Kate has a flower pot to throw, etc. All the lighting is done by the audio-visual committee. They also take care of any sound effects. Well, the curtain is about to go up. Sit back and enjoy the show and applaud not only the actors but those behind the scenes too.

Personal courage is simply fear overcome by hope and prayer.

Some miss opportunities because they are broadcasting when they should be tuning in.

Marc Meihack, Gerry Hosbach, Tim Plath and John Kolander. John Hartwig is a freshman who may crack the lineup. Gorsline stressed the team 's balance, always a strong point in DMLC sports. Otto, Siegler, and Boerneke are returning champions in the conferences. " Look for a DMLC"I heard about your jump ... Northwestern-Roseville You broke everything but the showdown for the chamrecord." pionship," Gorsline said, "They are the team to beat. " Mystery Man!

Underway Tom Hering, Larry Sellnow, Dick Huebner, Jeff Kurbis and Don Eickmeyer. Well, it doesn't sound like Tinkers-to-Evers-toChance, but they do have potential as this year's baseball season gets underway. Coach Marvin Meiha.:k has lost his pitching and "Boomer", but he will have a host of others vying for their spots. Pitching, one of the important aspects of the game, has returnees Larry Sellnow and Keith Bowe. Newcomers fighting it out include Dan Madson, Scott Herrewig, Paul Kaiser, and Dave Leeker. The infield is strong with Hering and Huebner behind the plate, and Sellnow, Herrewig and Eickmeyer rounding out the infield. The outfield is up for grabs, with Dave Essmann having the inside track. A host of freshmen will help the team in the weak spots. Look for a Lancer team that hustles and scraps for wins. Was it Coach Meihack who said, "I'd never trade them for Rod Carew?"

Shuffling through our picture files, we found one of this vaguely familiar gentleman. Can you help us? Let us know what you know .. . who is he? What is his mission here? How about that document in his hand?

President Frey Celebrates Forty Years

President Conrad Frey, pictured here with his wife Charlotte, was honored on April 22, after forty years in the Lord's service.

German Youths Perform "Music is the universal language." This was the message communicated to a large audience by the Bachkreis Youth Orchestra of Westfalia, Germany which performed in the DMLC Auditorium on April 17. The Bachkreis Youth Orchestra was founded ten years ago by Horst R'timer, conductor, and music teacher at Bergkamen Gymnasium. The orchestra which performed is comprised of 45 'A' (advanced level) musicians. This orchestra has made numerous trips to various

countries besides the U.S.A., including England, Colombia, and Scandinavia. The group went to the Twin Cities to perform a joint concert with youth orchestras in the Twin Cities area. At the request of the Concord Singers, they also made an appearance here in New Uhn. The Bachkreis Youth Orchestra played six pieces by various composers, both classical and contemporary. The second part of the program consisted of six contemporary

nqmbers sung by New Uhn's Concord Singers. For the final section, the Bachkreis Youth Orchestra performed three twentieth-century pieces, one by Ravel, and finished the program with a group of the songs from Gershwin's "Porgy and Bess." They were also requested to play an encore, which request they complied with. It was an evening of unusually fine entertainment, and was thoroughly enjoyed by all who attended.

Sun1n1er Classes Announced Summer classes at Dr. Martin Luther College begin on June 18 this year. A variety of courses and workshops are being offered for those students currently enrolled at the college and for graduates of the school. DMLC summer sessions are designed to provide an opportunity for many within the Synod to participate. The summer workshops were begun in 1967 when two courses, Elementary School Administration and Teaching Kindergarten, were offered to teachers presently in the field. Since that time the offerings have increased in popularity and therefore in number as well. The sessions give teachers opportunity to do research, share their ideas, and profit from the experiences of others. This summer's offerings consist of ten classes: Workshop for Kindergarten Teachers, Teaching Children with Learning Disabilities, A-V Materials in Communicating the Gospel, Preparation and Utilization of Science Mijterials for Upper Grades, Building Instructional Program in School Music, Preparation and Utilization of Science Materials for Middle Grades, Instructional Materials for Math

in the Intermediate Grades, Workshop in School Administration, and Diagnosis and Remediation of Reading Difficulties . An off-campus workshop is planned to be held at Fox Valley Lutheran High School in Appleton, Wisconsin. The topic will be Supervision of Student Teachers. The Advanced Study Program in the Christian Ministry will be held in two terms, June 18-July 3 and July Course offerings will 5-July be Galatians, Religious Motifs in Children's Literature, Archaelogy and Bible History, Opening the Scriptures, Psalms for Use in School and Private Study, I Corinthians, Counseling in Christian Education, The Ecumenical Age and Chorale-Based Compositions for Organ-Hymn Intonations. An Independent Study Project is being planned for individuals or small groups to engage in oncam pus, guided study and discussion of topics of interest to them; but these are not a part of the current summer offerings. Arrangements for such courses may be made through the Director of Special Services before May 15. The Aid Association for

20:

Lutherans is providing a grant to provide scholarships for teachers who graduated from DMLC five, ten, fifteen, twenty or twenty-five years ago. The scholarships will provide free tuition fees for the advanced study program, regular summer courses, or workshops. Grants-in-aid will also be available to grant travel assistance to teachers applying whose homes are more than 200 miles from the campus. A scholarship grant has also been approved for active Kindergarten teachers who have been called by WELS congregations. Applications for these scholarships and grantsin-aid can be obtained from the Director of Special Services. The regular summer sessions will be held from June 18-July 20. This summer's offerings are History of Israel, Christian Doctrine II, Principles of Christian Education, Religious Perspectives in Modern Drama, Perception of Music, Lutheran Worship, Europe in Modern Times, New Testament Epistles, Lutheran Confessions, Teaching Religion, Fundamentals of Contemporary Mathematics, Physical Geography, and 20th Century America.

Sunday, April 22 was a very special day for the Dr. Martin I ,uther College campus, for it was the day chosen to commemorate a very special event, the Fortieth Anniversary of Reverend Conrad Frey's work in the Lord's Kingdom. Officiating as liturgist for the service was Reverend Edgar Knief, chairman of the Board of Control of DMLC. The speaker who delivered the sermon was the Reverend Robert Voss, who is the chairman of the Commission on Higher Education. His text was Luke 24, 27-35, and the theme, "Keys to a Successful Ministry." The organist was Prof. Bruce Backer of the DMLC faculty, and two of the college's choirs beautified the service under the direction of Professors James Engel and Ronald Shilling, respectively. Reverend Frey was born in Phoenix, AZ., and attended Dr. Martin Luther High School (now known as MLA). He then attended Northwestern College from where be was graduated in 1935. From there be entered Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary, where be completed his studies in 1938. Upon graduating from the Seminary, be received a call to be tutor at Michigan Lutheran Seminary in Saginaw, Michigan, and remained there for two years. Between the years of 1940 and 1943, Reverend Frey served the St. Bartholomew congregation in

Kawkawlin, Michigan. In 1943, the Lord called him to be the pastor at Our Savior in Detroit. In 1950 be returned to MLS, but this time be served as president of the school. President Frey remained at MLS for sixteen years, and then in 1966 be received the call to be president of Dr. Martin Luther College where he has served now the the past 13 years. Next year, however will be President Frey's last year, as he bas submitted bis resignation to the board after many years of faithful service. These past forty years have years of service for President Frey. He has served ~n numerous boards and chaired many important committees, including the former Advisory Commission on Education. This board is now the Commission on Higher h.:ducat10n, which is much more effective than its predecessor, and President Frey was very influential in its formation. In addition to all this, he also managed to be the president of two of our Synod's schools, something very few people have experienced. As President Frey enters into his last year of service, let us remember him in our prayers: not only to thank the Lord for such a faithful servant, but to continue blessing him in the years to come.

Make Debut What has been added to the many musical activities already on campus? A bandbell choir was started for the first time at DMLC. The bandbell choir consists of 53 charter members, 48 of which make up four choirs. On April 3 at 8:00 p.m. in the chapel-auditorium, the bandbell choirs made their debut under the direction of Prof. Wayne Wagner. The choirs provided a delightful evening of music. Their selections included " Herzliebster J esu," "The Tomb, " and "Prayer and Finale." The assembly joined the choirs in singing "From All

That Dwell Below the Skies," "I Know That My Redeemer Lives," and "Savior, Again to Thy Dear Name We Raise." The choirs were joined by Miss Judith Kresnicka on the organ. Their selection was "Jesu, Joy of Man'd Desiring." A choir, composed of 16 members of the Treble Choir, joined the handbells in singing "Waken Happy People." The bandbells are a welcome addition to the DMLC Music Department. The bandbells were a gift from Drs. Howard and Ann Vogel in memory of Miss Frances Krook

We've all said it countless times - "I wish I had more time to prepare for this class, or to study for that test." We can all agree that we don't have time to prepare equally and extensi~ely for all courses. And as colleges go, DMLC does require a greater workload of its students. And what about student teaching? Is eight weeks spent in a second-grade classroom adequate preparation for the call that one could easily get to teach grades five and six? Furthermore, we can all use more training in religion, be it Bible stories, doctrine, or whatever. These are only a few of.the problems confronting faculty and students of DMLC. Most students are aware that the faculty has reviewed the possibility of DMLC addopting a five-year program. Other states and colleges are also looking into the proposition. Why? If this action were taken at DMLC, it would be an attempt to make our teact1ers more qualified to teach in WEI..S schools. This could be of benefit to students. Credits per semester could be cut back, and time spent out practice teaching could be expanded to include experience at different grade levels. And yet no solution is foolproof. Your first reaction was probably the same as mine: "I think it's a good idea - as long as they don't do it while I'm still here." Translation: A five-year program might scare off a lot of prospective teachers. Many already disagree with the policy on married students. What adjustment in marriage policies can be made if we add an extra year to the curriculum? We daren't forget the old Adam. With more time to study, how many will actually take advantage of the extra time? This short piece is not intended to encapsulate the entire matter. It is only my intention to make students aware of some of the pros and cons under consideration. What is your opinion?

''Kiss Me, Kate'' RecappedKiss Me, Kate is a backstage fable of an egocentric, fabulously flamboyant exmarried couple, Fred Graham and Lilli Vanessi, who have been reunited to co-star in a , production of The Taming of the Shrew. The uneven course of their reunion off-stage is paralleled by the stormy plot of the Shakespeare comedy onstage. In the opening of the show, we find Fred Graham thanking the cast of The Shrew for their hard work throughout rehearsals. Out of the lecture come a lot of tired people walking off stage.

But out comes dear ol' Hattie to the rescue to get the group psyched up. She starts out the musical with "Another Op'nin, Another Show" a wellchoreographed number. Soon we find Bill Calhoun making his entrance and wanting money for a taxi: A doorman finally hands the money over to him and Bill's girlfriend Lois Lane goes into a song of questions and answers in "Why Can't You Behave?" Meanwhile, Fred and Lilli are in their dressing rooms getting ready for the show which is about to open at the Ford

Leopold Makes Tough

Decision Spring is finally here and with it comes the long-awaited outdoor sports. After being cooped up inside during this seemingly endless Minnesota winter, the DMLC women find the beginning of the softball season a welcome relief. Practice started March 12, with over 30 women coming out for the team. By the end of the week, that number was cut to 19. During the second week, the players and coach really got down to the nitty-gritty. Coach Leopold watched carefully as 19 very talented players did their best to field ( in the gym, off the walls, ceiling, etc.) bouncy, hard-to-hang onto, rubber balls. The players were also closely observed in the batting cages, -and at the end of another week Coach Leopold was faced with the nearly impossible task of making the final cut. The decision was finally made and the 1979 Lancerette softball team includes seniors Lasea Bittorf, Sue "Ernie" Gorz, Mona Pinske, and Karen "Ed" Sell; juniors Pam Abraham, Rise Rabenberg, and Kay Shambeau; sophomores Karen Bauer, Beth Lohmiller, and Cheryl Moore; and freshmen Beth Kemnitz, Donna Olive, Wendy Ristow, Jeanne Wade,

There John and Mary were in their usual corner - going at it like there was no tomorrow. She was sitting on his lap and he was enjoying having her so close. They were kissing and hugging and not holding back. They didn't even take notice of the thirty other people in the Student Union who couldn't help but take a peek at them now and then to see how far they had progressed. John and Mary were not using the Union for its intended purpose. We should use the Student Union for the purpose of relaxation and Christian fellowship. The Student Union was made for the enjoyment of all students that attend DMLC. It is a facility that has many meaningful purposes for the student. "For example, ... ? Students need a breather now and then. The Student Union gives the student the opportunity to take a time-out from his studies. He can sit in the lounge, relax, and visit with his fellow classmates and talk over the events of the day. He might even take in a few games of foosball. The Round Table located in the Union adds sweetness to the atmosphere of the Union. At the Round Table, a person can buy his favorite snack and sit down in front of the television, or visit with friends while he satisfies the desires of his sweet tooth. Recreation is another aspect of the Student Union. The recreation room fulfills the need for recreation. It allows the student to play a few games of pool, or to take his frustrations out on the ping-pong table. The majority of students use the Student Union to their advantage. They enjoy their friends, their snacks, and their recreation to the fullest. The heart that gives willingly keeps more than the gift is worth. Speech is that activity which presents one's thinking or hides it or substitutes for it.

"Unfortunately, ... "! There are also a minority of students that do not take advantage of the Christian fellowship offered in the Union. Those students are the John and Marys sitting all snuggled up in the corners of the lounge making out in front of fellow students and Christians. They should save their love for another time and place. Not only are they making fools out of themselves, but they are also causing offense to fellow students, and possibly giving DMLC a bad name if visitors come walking by. Let us not become like John and Mary who sit in the corner and whisper sweet nothings and make eyes at each other. Remember that Christ should be welcome wherever we are and in whatever we do. Let us keep the Student Union a place for good, wholesome fun and Christian fellowship. The harder you work, the luckier you become. If you know it can't be done, it won't be.

Theatre in Baltimore. While Fred is in Lilli's dressing room, they get to talking of the past and are soon wound up in a song of a past musical they did together. They are soon off in the clouds singing "Wunderbar," a love song. When Lilli asks Fred what went wrong, a few unpleasant words are spoken, and Fred returns to his dressing room to find two gangsters awaiting his arrival. They come not for his autograph; they already have that. They want the 10 g's that he owes their employer. Actually, unknowing to Fred, they have Bill's forged IOU with his signature. After this little enlightenment, Fred finds out that Paul, his dresser, delivered his flowers to the wrong woman. Paul apparently took the flowers to Miss Vanessi's dressing room instead of to Lois Lane's. Upon seeing the flowers, Lilli begins to sing "So In Love." It is a strange coincidence that Lilli, shortly after singing a love song with Fred, gets her wedding bouquet from him on the first anniversary of their divorce! In scene four, one finds the chorus and the four leads doing a song entitled "We Open In Venice:" They tell how the cast opens the show here, moves it there, and tells how they react to each place. Moving along, we find the first scene from The Shrew. Petruchio enters and talks with Baptista, the father of the fair Bianca and her shrewd elder sister Katherine. They agree upon a dowry for his wooing and marrying of the irksome girl. Katherine too makes her entrance by coming out and bawling out Petruchio. She does a bit of ad libbing when she tells Petruchio to speak, even though

his message was not meant for her. In other words, Lilli had read the card that had come with her flowers and now realized that they were really meant for Lois. In this scene Katherine also reveals herself to the audience in "I Hate Men," most realistically. Bianca and her suitors, Lucentio, Gremio, and Hortensio sing a number called "Tom, Dick, or Harry." She claims she'd marry any one of them, but her heart seems to be set on Lucentio, for she tosses him her rose at the end of the song and runs off. In scene six, Lilli reveals that her reason for ad libbing was that she is jealous. She tells Fred, backstage now, that she is quitting The Shrew. Scene seven seemed to appeal to many people. In this scene the gangsters tell Lilli that they have specific interests in the show, so she has to finish it out. They nonchalantly proceed to pull out a gun; and being quite flustered, Lilli asks if they're threatening her. Hattie, her maid, replies most obviously, with a sincere nod of the head! (Hattie and her faithful feather duster!) The gangsters, determined to keep Lilli in the show, become a part of the cast and are on stage. The Taming of the Shrew continues now with the people and Petruchio trying to convince Katherine to, well, to Kiss Me, Kate! Katherine, being very set in her ways reviles them all and tells them she'll Successful people earned their success by doing those things that had to be done when they didn't feel like doing them. There would be fewer problems in this life if people were taught to pray instead of shout.

theater. The gangsters say their goodbyes and leave the stage. Fred pleads with Lilli to stay. He tells her she can't walk out on him now. As they both get -very emotional, Lilli reminds Fred that he walked out on her once, but Fred responds by telling her that he came back. With these words spoken, Lilli leaves to go to her waiting taxi. The gangsters, trying to find their way out of the theater, suddenly appear on stage, not realizing it right away. After knowing they are on stage they start a number called "Brush Up Your Shakespeare," and put on quite a little act. After finishing and seeing that the audience seemed to enjoy their talents, they come back on stage and sing it again. But the orchestra doesn't start! So, what do gangsters normally do when they don't get their way? They pull their guns and the orchestra suddenly hustles along their merry way of doing the song again! After getting off stage, one of the gangster comes back on, thinking he can do the number by himself, but in his despair on comes his partner. That particular song in the show seemed to get quite a laugh out of the audience. With the eighth scene star-

never, never, never kiss him! Petruchio ends the first act of Kiss Me, Kate by carrying Katherine off over his shoulder to his house in Verona. We see Katherine at Petruchio's House. He's done a good job, with his taming of the shrew. She's a bit more content, that's for sure! After putting her off to bed, Petruchio suddenly realizes that he's a married man and he asks himself in a song, "Where Is the Life That Late I Led?" In scene four, Harrison Howell makes his first appearance. He insists that Lilli had been beaten by Fred after a slight spanking he gave her on stage. The gangsters, being on Freds' side, put their two cents worth into the conversation, which seems to be going nowhere until Harrison finally believes that Lilli is fine and in one piece. Lois sees Harrison and speaks with him about a date they had in the past. Unknown to her, Bill Calhoun walks in and hears part of their conversation. He soon is asking her why she can't behave. But Lois, convinces~her loved one that she'll "Always Be True To You In My Fashion" despite all the other offers she may receive. Next we find Harrison Howell, Fred, and Lilli in her dressing room. Soon Fred is off on a tangent predicting the type of life she will lead with her fiance after they are married, since Harrison is many years her elder. In scene six, Bill and the girls of the chorus sing "Bianca." Bill has written her a love song and he wants them to see if it's worthy of her. After this, the gangsters, upon calling up their ,ss, find he has been killed. 'Their services no longer being necessary, they tell Fred that they must depart. Lilli appears, as she is about to leave the

April 30, 1979 ting, we come to the conclusion of The Taming of the Shrew also. At the wedding feast of Bianca and Lucentio, everyone is present but Katherine. Where is she? No one knows, no one but Fred. After Petruchio says she won't show, Katherine, much to his surprise, appears on stage. Being shocked at her arrival, he says in a most loving way, darling. Remembering that he's on stage, he gets back into character and demands of Katherine to tell the headstrong women what duty they do owe their lords and the husbands. Katherine continues by singing "I Am Ashamed That Women Are So Simple." Petruchio, at the end of the song simply states, "Aye, there's a wench, come on and Kiss Me, Kate! The cast now continues on to sing "Kiss Me, Kate, and once again All's Well That Ends Well! After the curtain call the entire cast proceeded to sing "Brush Up Your Shakespeare." So went this year's spring musical. If you didn't get to see it, well, this explanation will have to do. If you did, you now have a reference and can think back and say, "Hey, I remember when that hap. pened." Yes, Kiss Me, Kate was a very delightful show. Concerning the show in general, critics have regarded Kate as one of the best musicals ever to appear on Broadway. Its popularity throughout the world proves it is one of tne best musicals ever to be produced. Getting the show on its way to a job well done was director Julie Kalbus, a freshman. Assistant director was sophomore Steve Grosinske. Producing the show was John Kanter and Diane Flunker. -Leading the orchestra was Randy Kramer and the chorus was led by Professor Engel and Julie Laehn.

Prof. C.J. Trapp retires after 45 years in the teaching ministry.

Prof. Trapp Retires · from F acuity

As I entered Professor Trapp's office, I was amazed at the large number of books crammed into such a small space. Most of these books pertained to English, a subject Professor Trapp has taught here at DMLC for the past 32 years. I was here to interview Professor Trapp because this is his last year of teaching before retirement. As I looked around the tiny room, I saw above my head a number of blueprints. These were blueprints to every building on this campus. Professor Trapp has these in his office because he served as chairman of the Campus Planning Committee, formerly known as the Building and Planning Committee, for a number of years and was involved in the planning of many of the buildings on campus. Professor Trapp was especially interested in Hillview, Highland, the LMU, the ChapelAuditorium and even advised the development of the beloved football bowl. Because he has been here for so many years, Professor Trapp had some interesting bits of knowledge about the campus and its future expansion. In his office there is a blueprint for the campus from 1926. In it are plans showing a group of cottages for the women's quarters, separate athletic fields for men and women, a chicken barn, and room for six parking spaces not lots, mind you, spaces. He also remembers a time when there was an orchard in place of the LMU, and when there was almost a one to one ratio of men to women. As to the future, plans are for a new men's dormitory where West Hall is and expansion of the library. Professor Trapp was

graduated from Northwestern College in 1931 and from Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary in 1934. After graduatir.g, :•• received a call to teach to Milwaukee Lutheran High School which at that time was a joint school for the Wisconsin and Missouri Synods. In 1947 Professor Trapp began teaching here at DMLC and because at that time the professors also taught in the prep department, he taught them religion, history, and Latin his first year. Later he went on to teach almost every course in English both during the regular school year and also summer school. Professor Trapp has served the Lord well in his years of teaching and has been active at all times. In 1950 he was instrumental in starting the Excelsior and has always been involved as advisor in the publication of this newspaper. He served as chairman of the English department from 19641973. Professor Trapp also was on the staff of the Junior Northwestern for 20 years, the last 12 of them as editor. When I asked Professor Trapp what he noticed about the change in students over the years, he said the students today are not so apt to sit back and take things the way they used to. They demand more and are getting into specialized areas rather than the broader education of earlier years. And as to how he would like to be remembered, he said for what he taught - something every teacher must keep in mind. Truly the Lord has blessed our school with the ministry of a faithful servant. May the Lord continue in blessing Professor Trapp also throughout the coming years!

Once again Call Night is upon us. Call night is the climax of four years of preparations, as Seniors receive their first calls from the assignment committee, to enter the field as teachers. This event takes place on Friday, June 1, bi:!ginning with a service at 8:00 p.m. Prof. Lloyd Huebner will deliver the sermon, directed particularly to the graduates. The organist will be Prof. Ronald Shilling, who will also direct the Chapel Choir in the singing of an anthem. The anthem, "We Here Have Come," was written by two Seniors, Linda Hasbargen and Rachel Gerlach, who wrote the words and music respectively. The seniors asked that this hymn be sung on Call Night. After the service President

Conrad Frey will r·ead the ~s~nments as agreed upon by the assignment committee. When Pres. Frey has read the assignments, the district presidents will meet with those graduates assigned to their district. This will give the presidents an opportunity to give out added information, and also avail the Seniors of a chance to meet with their presiC,ents and ask questions. A reception in the cafeteria will follow the service. Seniors, faculty, and friends, and families are invited to attend. The assignment committee is made up of the ten district presidents and various Synod officials. O.J. Naumann, President of the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod, presides over the meeting, and

the Secretary, Heinrich Vogel, records the minutes. The Executive Secretary of the Commission on Higher Education, Rev. Robert Voss, and the Executive Secretary of the Board for Parish Education, Donald H. Zimmerman, are also present in an advisory capacity. The ten district presidents do the actual voting at the meetings. In addition, four DMLC faculty members also serve as advisors. These are Pres. Conrad Frey, Prof. Arthur Schultz;- Vice President for Academic Affairs, Prof. Lloyd Huebner, Vice President for Student Affairs, and Prof. Howard Wessel, Director of Student Teaching. The assignment committee will meet at noon Thursday and all da Frida .

Prof. Hermanson directs the Jazz Ensemble in an evening of fine entertainment.

Ensen1hle Per£ornts an Evening of Jazz Where were you May 17 at 8:00 p.m.? If you weren't in the auditorium, you missed it! What was it, you ask? You just had to be there. The Jazz Ensemble, under the direction of Prof. Hermanson, gave their Spring Concert in "An Evening of Jazz." The twenty-one piece group performed what proved to be an excellent selection of tunes. The evening started out with "Ease On Down The Road," a selection from the show, "The Wiz." Immediately following that selection, Bob Kramer showed his stuff in "Feels So Good," a

famous Chuck Mangione chart. Other well-known songs such as "Live!," the Theme from "Dick Clark's Live Wednesday," "Bandstand Boogie," from "American Bandstand," "Gonna Fly Now," "Jazzman," " Lonely Street," "Baker Street," "Where Is The Love" ( special appearance by junior Beth Fischer on the alto flute), and none other than the famous original Glenn Miller recording arrangement of "In The Mood." Tunes by such famous recording jazz artists as Woody Herman, Chuck Mangione, and Glenn Miller were performed.

An added feature was a Dixieland Combo that played three numbers. Members of that group were Crystal Roemhildt, Lana Punke, Randy Kramer, Tom Pfaff, Paul Danuser, and Prof. Hermanson. This portion of the program proved to be a foot-stompin' hit! The program was enjoyed by all, old and young alike. If you were there, you know what I mean. I surely couldn't help myself from getting "In The Mood!" I'm sure that all that were present are really looking forward to hearing this group play again next year.

Trettien Contest Winner Announced Debra Schmolesky, a senior at DMLC, is the 1979 winner of the W.C. Trettien Creative Writing Contest. Deb wrote a play entitled, " The Sitter." It is about the irony of a child psychologist's inability to rear her own daughter. While this woman psychologist is out lecturing about the proper way to rear children, her daughter is at home learning - the real truth from a sitter who shows her motherly care and concern. The W.C. Trettien Creative Writing Contest has been designed to give students a competitive opportunity for self~xpression in literature. It is open to all DMLC students who are taking or have taken English 76: Creative Writing. The winner of the ·contest is given the sum of $100.00. The three judges, who are not necessarily members of the English division, are appointed by the chairman of the English division. They are the final arbiters in selecting the award recipient.

Prof. Swantz poses with his new creation, as of yet unnamed.

It Bloonted Here First

There's a new flower on display in the DMLC biology laboratory. You won't see one like it anywhere else because Prof. Ralph Swantz developed it himself. An enthusiastic botanist for many years, he crossed an African Red amaryllis with an Apple Blossom amaryllis. Four years of work paid off on May 9 when a beautiful red-orange flower with striped center and

solid border greeted his early morning arrival at the campus greenhouse. Although he hasn't had time to make a final decision about what name he'll give the new variety, one thing is certain, Prof. Swantz will continue his plant breeding experiments and more DMLC students will develop a lifelong interest in plants as the result of his teaching.

Ech of this year's officers for next year are President-Greg Schmill, VicePresident-Randy Cochran, Treasurer-Dawn Aswege, and Secretary-Betsy Geisert. Bob Kramer gave special thanks to advisor Prof. Darwin Raddatz on behalf of the entire council. The student body then sang the Alma Mater. Entertainment followed and MC Paul Danuser was full of surprises. A flourish of jokes a la Steve Martin made up the bulk of his program. He was witty, and quickly had the crowd warmed up. Performing first were Lori Rich and Cyndi P!_amann. Since Cyndi will be graduating, this was their last appearance together. They sang two numbers, accompanying themselves on guitar. The songs were "End of the World" and the currently

popular "You Needed Me.". Next was "Tape-4A." It was a spoof by a host of upperclassmen on the current campus craze for PDQ Bach. Jennie Ray made a surprise appearance, originally as a duet partner for MC Danuser. When both Jennie and accompanist Dave Koester gave up on the host, Jennie charmed the audience with a solo, "God Knows." The final act of the evening was a compil ation of DMLC student talent. Jan Nelson and Mike Pfeifer sang a piece Jan wrote the lyrics for. They were accompanied by Deb Tetzlaff on piano, who did the arranging. Sue Roland and Jon Nass brought visual expression to the song by a choreographed dance. MC Danuser wrapped up the highly successful Spring Activities Banquet by offering his thanks and best wishes to all.

"Let All the Glad Sounds of Music Ring" was the title of the program the bell choir from Milwaukee, WI., performed. This worship service took place • May 16 at 8:00 p.m. in the chapel-auditorium. The Bell Choir is made up of eight students from Siloah Lutheran School. The director is Rev. Rolfe F. Westerdorf. They performed such numbers as : " A Hymn of Glory Let Us Sing, " " Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring, " "Sheep May Safely

The end of the school year. These words, when spoken, are usually accompanied by an audible sigh of relief. This editor joins the exhilarated many as she signs her last editorial. We have come upon that time of year wi1en the four winds again scatter students, many of whom shall be gone but a few short months, and those who may not return for years. But before you all take off for the corners of the earth, allow me to leave with you, one last time, a few thoughts. On behalf of the staff, I would like to congratulate the Seniors. Best wishes to you in your future callings, and may Christ go with you as you leave the hill for the last time. The staff and I extend our thanks to all who were in any way, a part of the DMLC Messenger this year, including those faculty members who gave of their time to assist in seeing that the writers received the proper information, and to those who were just there when help was needed. We would also pay special tribute to Prof. Trapp who, after many years of service, is retiring from his position as advisor to the Messenger, and from the faculty of DMLC as well. His assistance has not gone unappreciated. As editor, I would like to publicly thank my staff for the work they put into the Messenger. It isn't an easy job, and no help in easing the b!lrden went unnoticed. And finally, my own personal thank you to my friends, and especially my roommate, who tolerated the grumpiness of a school newspaper editor at her worst. Thanks, guys! I pray that God would grant all, faculty and student body alike, safe and relaxing summers, and that He would allow us all to return again in a few months. Have a great vacation! BethRuege

well as the 1.9 student can't wait for school to get out. Having a persecution complex is a common complaint among students with Summeritis. Although the main cause of this disease has not as yet been discovered, according to a recent study it is possible that teachers themselves help to bring on this sickness. It is believed that Summeritis can strike as a result of having too much pressure in school. This pressure is thought to be caused by teachers getting together and conspiritng to schedule all the tests and assignments for the same day. In retaliation the student's brain goes numb and refuses to function anymore; thus, Summeritis sets in. How can you find out if you have Summeritis? Below are the thirteen most common symptoms associated with this dread disease. If you have three or more of these symptoms,

Do You Have Suntllleritis?

by Dawn Fuerstenau Every year around the country, a disease strikes college students that live away from home. Millions of students are hit with the ailment that brings classrooms to a veritable standstill. The name of this disease is the I-Can't-Wait-ForThe-Weekend Blues. However, this sickness is not to be confused with the more deadly strain which affects students only in the month of May. This dreaded disease, which reaches near spidemic proportions during the spring, is called Summeritis. Summeritis strikes swiftly and without warning. One minute you can enthusiastically be doing your math problems and the next minute you can feel that math is about as interesting as morning mouth. This ailment can affect any student regardless of race, sex, or grade average. Once Sum- ineritls hits, the 4.0 student as

Graze," and others. The organist for the evening was Miss Judith Kresnicka. The liturgist was Prof. Delmar Brick. Rev. Westendorf visited the various Teaching Music classes on campus. He spoke on how to get a Bell Choir started in Lutheran day schools. The Siloah Bell Choir also joined him and performed various selections. DMLC was pleased to have them on campus.

then you definitely have Summeritis and need (deserve) a break from school. 1. Nausea at the sight of a history book. 2. A perpetual state of boredom. 3. A lack of concentration even while eating your lunch. 4. A glazed brain. This occurs after a day in school where you had three tests, two 10-page reports due, and a dinner pattie that didn't look quite dead on your lunch tray. _ 5. Having the urge to yawn when you get within ten yards of the Academic Center. 6. You get the feeling that you had the same English class last year. 7. All the teachers begin to look and talk alike. 8. You can't wait for eighth hour to come, and you start watching the clock at 8:39. 9. Waiting until the period

before to start studying for a test. 10. Your summer job of hanging on the back of a garbage truck starts looking good. Students aren't the only ones to suffer in an epidemic of Summeritis. Having classes full of students with the disease isn't very stimulating to teachers either. They must stand before a sea of the same blank faces every day, and the only time any interest is shown in class is that the bell is going to ring in two minutes. Students try many things to cure themselves of Summeritis. Some recommend a two-week vacation from school, others say that sleeping through classes helps. There is only one cure, however. This year it will happen on June 6, when the student body gets together for the last time before its final three-month vacation.

Looking Back After four years at DMLC I have to say goodbye. Some of my most enjoyable times were spent at athletic events. Some alumni might like a retrospective view of sports at DMLC the last four years. Remember-Paul Bauer's interception at the goal line to beat Dana, 20-16. -Greg Thiesfeldt's 36 points that beat NWC-Roseville for the MRCC crown. -Ron Ohm's 19 home runs - a school record. -Al Greschner and Bill Plamann - NLCAA champs. -Don Groth ' s .565 batting average. -Coach Meihack's 17-1 baseball team. -Jon Favorite 's 19-yard field goal with 19 seconds left that beat NWC-Roseville 3-0. -Almost beating Northwestern in football. -Beating Northwestern in basketball. -Dick Huebner 's shooting. -Gregg Hoffmann 's stealing on the court. -Tom Bering's inside park

homerun that beat NWCRoseville 8-7. -Tod Bartholomew's TD pass to Jim Hahn to beat Concordia

14-a. Many of these events will live in memory, but what about the more humorous ones? -Keith Bowe's first hit. -Don Eickmeyer's boots. -Coach Gorsline's broken clipboard. -Coach Meihack's aversion to warm weather. -Don Groth singles. -Poorly written baseball articles. -Coach Krueger's golf scores -John Homstad's visionary golfing clinic. -"Mr. Emotion. " -Captains Curly, Cobb, and Crunch. -Marathon John and Armin. -The Powderpuff Games! -Certain referees' not-sobiased calls. -That first 600-yard RunWalk.

-And, last but not least, "Kunte ." That's an inside joke by the way.

Arbor Day Arrives At Last by Dawn Fuerstenau What is sunburned, blistered, and smiling? A student after being dismissed from classes and working outside all day on Arbor Day; of course. After waiting weeks for the appropriate weather, Arbor Day was finally held May 14 here on campus. As early as 6:30 in the morning, cries of "It's Arbor Day!" were echoing down the halls, and at 8: 00, the day began with a devotion in the chapel-auditorium. Each student was assigned to a crew and designated a certain area to pick up or rake. Juniors did odd jobs around professors' houses, and sophomores and freshmen worked on campus

while the seniors had the day off. Students worked until 10:15 when they had a short break, and after fortifying themselves with brownies and lemonade, it was back to work again. After a picnic lunch behind the Student Union, students were free to do as they pleased. A few softball games were started, some people ambled off for a walk through Flandrau, and many just relaxed and soaked up the sun. Students and teachers alike enjoyed the break from classes, and the work and effort put forth by the students in cleaning up the campus made this year's Arbor Day a complete success.

Lancerettes End Season The Lancerette softball team did not have one of its best records this season, but it did play some of its best games. A record doesn't always tell everything about a team ' s success, and this year was a good example of this. Over all, Coach Leopold is pleased with the way her team played this season . The Lancerettes opened their season with a double header against Mankato State. In spite of two well-played games, the final scores were not in our favor . The next contest was an invitational at St. Mary 's of Winona . The team lost its first game of the day to St. Benedict's, but came back for two wins over St. Mary 's and Macalester . During the following two weeks, the Lancerettes played several exciting and well-played games, including one in which the team batted over .500, but were unable to pick up another win -before the State Tour-

The team went into the tournament fired-up and ready to break their losing streak because DMLC has the reputation of being a tournament team . They were determined to keep that reputation. The first game was played .against a muchimproved Macalester team, but the Lancerettes came out on top, winning 12-2 in the sixth inning. Because they won this first-game, their next opponent was the University of Minnesota, the eventual winner of the tournament for the fourth consecutive year. The LancerettP.s knew what they were up against and responded by playing their best game of the season. The sixth inning saw the score still tied at 0-0 with a very frustrated U of M team and a very excited DMLC team. Even though it lost the game 0-4, the Lancerettes felt satisfied because of the way they had played. The team received words of praise from coaches

Football Announcement August 26, a Sunday, will see prospective football players on campus to get ready for the 1979 season . The schedule of games is to be found in another article of this issue.

Lancers Rained Out There comes a time in a man's life when sports becomes secondary - that is secondary to the weather. The spring of 1979 has been the usual New Ulm spring - rain - wet, sloppy, cold rain. This rain resulted in the cancellation of many spring sports events. The Lancer athletic program enjoyed a fruitful spring, three MRCC and one TRCC championships. The golf team had a light season; nobody came close to beating them at their game . Tim Torgerson shot a 76 to win the TRCC medalist honors. DMLC had two individual champs, Edmundson and Torgerson - so much for the Norwegian connection. The DMLC tennis team trimmed the proverbial nets. Coach Gorsline led the Lancers to a MRCC crown and undefeated in dual meets, 10-0. Then, they stumbled on a cold, windy day in TRCC tournament and finished third. For the first time they had no individual champions. The baseball team enjoyed a winning season - their fourth in a row in "my reign." They topped the MRCC with a 9-3 record. They clobbered North Central Bible 10-0, 15-2 in the final home double-header. The Lancers were 5-1 in the TRCC; however, they did not win the trophy - the reason: they did play enough games to qualify because of rainouts. The team finished 11-3 overall. The Lancers had several good ball players: Dick Huebner, Don Eickmeyer and' Scott Herrewig all hit over .300. Paul Kaiser had a good pitching year with an ERA of 0.48. Quite the budding spring, wouldn't you say? The DMLC athletic department again sweeps the trophies in the MRCC.

--much impressed with our team's performance. We had come closer to beating them than had any other team in the tournament and we had every reason to feel proud. The third game that day was against Bethel, a team we had lost to earlier in the season. The thought of having to go back home that night after a loss gave the team the incentive to fight even harder. It all paid off and they won 9-4. The team ·hasn't as fortunate the next morning, however, when they took on Winona State. The score was close throughout the game, but the opposition scored eight runs in the last inning to win the game. Over all, Coach Leopold was very pleased with the way her team played in the tournament, especially against the U. of M. The Lancerettes finished their season after the State Tournament by spHtting a double-header with Concordia .

I love to play tennis. I realize that I need more practice to improve my game, but when to practice is the problem. Recently, The Campus Memo ran a note on outside activities that were going on during the time designated for evening chapel, one of these activities being tennis. Those that are guilty are not those that are on the regular tennis team, they are those people who know the only time the courts are free is around seven o'clock, or they are those that insist on playing for three hours or more from the time schc,ol ended. When the coursts are in use by the same people for greater lengths of time, lines begin to form by those who want desperately to get out and play, especially on beautiful days. We find the courts opening up just before chapel time. As Christians we should definitely think of our spiritual well-being first, but as human beings we don't always. We want to satisfy our physical desires first, which sometimes means chapel is neglected. considering this After problem, I have come up with a few suggestions to remedy the situation. First of all, the Academy won't be here next

year so more courts will perhaps open up, that fact doesn't guarantee everyone equal time on the courts. As a few tennis fans leave, the interest in the game itself increases. To prevent long lines of prospective players from forming, I propose a limit of one hour of playing time be put into effect. This would allow many more people to be able to release the tensions built up from a normal day of classes. If this idea wouldn 't work, the school could install some new tennis courts on campus. I heard an idea expressed that some of the professors' homes would be removed to a accommodate a project such as this. ( Could a tennis playing fan who doesn 't seem to get enough time on the courts have been the one to say such a thing? ) Wherever the answer lies, I've found that tennis is a sport that is enjoyed by many here on campus. As I've mentioned already, I am one who enjoys the sport very much. Maybe all this enthusiasm for tennis will show up when tryouts come around next year for the team. If more people make the team, less will need the practice, and that means more open court time. So, tennis everyone!

~~~~~~~---~~~~~~~~

As we, the class of 1979, approach graduation, there is a strong tendency in many of us to become very sentimental and nostalgic . We can look in retrospect at the thrilling moments we 've shared as well as those traumatic events which served to build our character while at this ~ristian institution. As we depart, I hope, we would spare some of the sentiment and consider the more important roles we are about to assume as graduates of DMLC. We have been fed the Bread of Life by our parents, teachers, and pastors as well as by our peers. Now Christ has formally called us as ne once called His disciple Peter with this simple command, "Feed My lambs .. .Feed My sheep." We have concluded four years of study and now are asked to feed those dear to Christ. Through what roles we will then give the lambs and sheep the Bread of

Life.? Many of the members of our class will go directly into a classroom of our Christian day schools and instruct children as they grow mentally and spiritually, a wonderful service to perform. Others who will graduate will soon be married and never become full time teachers. They too will hold the responsibility to feed the lambs in their own homes as they bring up their own children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. Finally, others in the years to come, after a time of prayerful consideration may decide that they cannot adapt their talent to the teachin_g profession. Certainly, for them their education at DMLC will have not been a loss. They still are well-equipped to perform their ~ristian duties in their own households as \Vell as in their congregations, and will, with the help of God, continue to serve His fold.

Through our Education the Lord has equipped us with many of the tools we will need for the future. Besides blessing us with the Gospel and the fruits of His love, He has assured His presence for our comfort. " Lo I am with you always, even unto the end of the world." Realizing the responsibilities involved in the task put before us, we would take this opportunity to make a request of you, our dear parents and friends. Remember us in your prayers that we would better serve the Lord in Âˇour various capacities as He builds His kingdom. May the Lord guide us all while He makes use of us in our individual ways and talents to preach the Gospel to all the world until the return of Christ our Lord. Yours in Christ, Senior Class President, Fred Luehring

DMLC Messenger

Calendar Change Proposed Routine announcements made after chapel usually do not generate applause from the assembled studerits. A recent announcement made ty Academic Dean Schulz did just that. Students responded with actual applause to this far from routine announcement. What Dean Schulz said was that the Early Semester Calendar (ESC) had been recommended by the faculty, and was subject to approval by DMLC's Board of Control. This is an.aerial view of the new Martin Luther Preparatory School, a sprawling campus in Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin, on the Mississippi River.

by Dawn Fuerstenau Martin Luther Academy will no longer be a part of the DMLC campus. This fall they will be moving to facilities in Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin. The move is advantageous to both parties involved; it eliminates the eight-year syndrome of attending high school and college on the same campus. Schedules and activities of the Academy and College will no longer conflict. The Academy now has a chance to develop its own identity as a school on a beautiful campus in one of the most scenic places in Wisconsin. It is large and well-

equipped, and provides many possibilities for expansion and development. Opening up a new school also represents a challenge. The new Martin Luther Preparatory School has the responsibility of supporting itself, to interest a wider range of students, and to function with the larger student body the new facilities are sure to attract. It is also a good opportunity to look over old traditions and introduce new ones. We here at DMLC wish Martin Luther Preparatory School success and God's richest blessings.

future. Many details of the ESC are still being worked out. The effect of this calendar on the Student Teaching program is not fully known yet. Much will have to be done before 1980-81, provided that the ESC is approved by the Board of Control. This is the projected date for implementing the new calendar. 1980-81 looks like another year of change for DMLC. The ESC, as it shapes up now:

According to Dean Schulz, faculty consideration of a calendar change has been ongoing since 1973. A number of different calendars have been considered, with a view to finding a calendar which would best accommodate curriculum changes over a longer period of time. After studying myriad possibilities, the ESC has been chosen, in the faculty's estimation, as the best calendar for DMLC's needs in the near
