NEW FACES SEEN IN FACULTY LOUNGE By Eric Bernhardt The openine of a new school year always brings with it the welcomed (?) end of a long carefree summer. For many there is the chance to greet old friends and to meet many new friends. The doors are opened to the myriad waves of new faces wandering down the halls, somt• with very lost looks on their faces. This year. five new faces belong to brand new members of the DMLC faculty. Let's meet these new instructors of the Dock.

c;tudents of D~LC. Kurt, who was born in Wayne, Michigan, and graduated from Michigan Lutheran Seminary, will have to ~o to school here an extra year, and thus will not be able to graduate with his classmates. Ile feels it is worth it, though. He says it is a great experience. He gets to see his professors in a totally different perspective. Besides, not f!verybody gets a chance to practice before his practice teaching is graded. Yes, that's right, he will have to still practice teach Cor one quarter of his senior year. Oh, well, after this, it won 't seem all that strange.

a member of the OMLC class of 73, was born in New Ulm and attended high school in Waynata, Minn., a suburb or Minneapolis. She says the whole thing is quite a trip to now find herself on the other side of the desk, so to speak. It is quite a feeling to be on the same side as the professors, where you arc the teacher, not vicl.'•vcrsa. So far the year has been an enjoyable one for Mrs. Bases.

R. Klockziem Roger Klockziem is also a new faculty member of the education department here al the college. Prof. Roger Klock• ziem grew up in Saginaw, Mu:h., where he attended the Seminary there. He graduated from 0'1LC in 1966, and has been teaching elsewhetc for the past 13 years. He will be on campus the 1st and 3rd quarters, where he will teach Elementary Curriculum. The 2nd and 4th quarters, Prof. Klockziem will travel to the Appleton, Saginaw, and Lake Michigan areas to supervise those practice teachers there. He en• joys working where the ~rd has called him, and is largely impressed with the college stu• dents beinc so mature and willing to train for the work of the Lord.

E. Bartel

K. Heyer How would you like to have the decision to put off your senior year for one whole school y1•ar? Furthermore, if you take thaL year off, it will be spent instructing your peers in the liner aspects of piano and organ wchnique!>, This is the decision that faced Kurt Heyer two weeks before the end of his junior year. Kurt accepted the call and is now giving keyboard lessons to

Ci)fllcli by Xancy Brei:

"The Salem Wilch Trials Are Coming to the OMLC Stage. Sign Up Now And Become A 1-igure In History." These words are probably very familiar to studen ts and professors alike right now. They are emblazoned on the Orama Club bulletin board and foretell the 1979 fall event. On Friday and Saturday, October 26 and 27, the OMLC Drama Club will present The Crucible by Arthur Miller. The choice of play for this fall was made in the spring of 1979. Miller's work will bl' the first serious drama to tw pre• sented at the college in several years. Tht• Director is Nancy Beck. Julie Kalbus is the Pro• ducer, and Kathy Stein the Co·Director, Co-Producer. All three are sophomores. Tht--se positions were filled last spring so that preliminary work could be done over the summer. The cast was chosen during the week of September 17. Over fifty people auditioned for the twenty• one available parts. The setting or the play is the Salem witch trials. .\1iller focuses on the young girls who are the accusers and the effect their lies have on the lives of the townspeople. He deals especially

G. Bases Another recent graduate of DMLC to join the faculty here is Grace Bases. You may not have seen her much on campus, because, as a member of the education department.she is sup• ervising practice teachen; at St. Paul's in New Ulm. Mrs. Bases,

al with the conflict John Prodor has when his wife Elizabeth is accused of witchery by Abigail. a young girl with whom he has had an affair. John must eventually choose between telling the truth and 1.;a\ing his own life. Miller use~ some of the actual words from the transcripts of the trials to bring the drama to life. He has a distinct comment on contemporary America by the parallels thal are to be seen between the witch trials and other phases of hyst1,1ria in American history.

The third member or the education department is Mrs. Elaine Bartel, wife of Prof~or Bartel. Mrs. Bartd was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and at• ten~ed Milwauke.,. Lutheran High School. She attended DMLC and graduated in 1950. Before moving to New Ulm after her husband received his call here. she had been teaching at the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee. Mrs. Bartel teaches Ii rst grade at St. Paul's in New Ulm along with supervising her prac· tice teachers each quarter. The practice teacher first spends a period just obsen:ini:: ~rs. Bartel in action, and gradually slips into the role of teacher. So far for Mrs. Bartel. the year has been in her O\\O words, "Just wonderful!"

Welcome

More Elbow Room

Back, Mrs. Lepley by Ch<'ryl Rolh Behind the doors of Cen• tennial Hall there is a person lhat "The Messenger" would like to introduce lo you. This person is new to our campus this year. However, ruany or you may recognize her, especially if you attended Martin Luther A· cademy. Her name is Mrs. Lepley, Centennial Hall's new housemother. Having been a housemother here from spring 1970 - fall 1974, the campus and the job are not entirely new lo her. The girls are, however. ''There's quite a lot of difference between ken agers and college-age women." The past five years have been busy ones for Mrs. Lepley. She devoted much of her time to chari ty, helping those who could not adequately help themselves. She also found time to enjoy her hobbies. They include not only camping and traveling, but also sewing, reading, and fishing. When not on campus, Mrs. Lepley lives with her only daughter,

Mrs. Lepley

Rachel, a 1970 graduate of DMLC. When asked why she returned, Mrs. Lepley replied, "Of all the things I have ever done, whether it be charity work, secretarial, or bank teller, I felt this is where I was going to be able to do the best for God." A housemother's day is long, beginning at 6:30 a.m. and lasting until after curfew. Her job is not just to supply girls with change for laundry, but rather to look out for their welfare, especially in times of sickness. A housemother is available to help whenever problems arise. As Mrs. Lepley puts it, "I know I can't take the place of the girls' mother, but I can be there for them - 'a mother away Crom hllme'."

STUDENTS ELECT OFFICERS by Duve: Eberl Elections were held recently for membership in the Collegiate Council. One or the main functions of the Collegiate Council is to co• ordinate extra-curricular achvi• ties for the enjoyment of every• one at DMLC.

(continued Crom p. 1) By now, almost every male student at DMLC should have personally met our new Summit Hall tutor and assistant to the Dean, Philip Mischke. Tutor Mischke was born in Zumbrota, Minn., and attended North• western Prep. and College. After attending the Seminary for four years, be was asked i( he would like to assume this position for a period of one year. After this year, he will be given a call to carry on the preaching ministry. After attending North• western Prep. and Cc)Uege, tutor Mischke was surprised at the large size of the campus and the large enrollment. His position

by Dave Hagen The New American Dictionary defines the word "change" as follows: . . . to make different to alter in condition, appearance, etc." To be sure, we all go through many changes throughout our lives, some major, others minor. Our own college campus has undergone some changes throughout this past year, beginning wilh the move of Martin Luther Academy lo the Martin Luther Preparatory School in Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin. The departure of MLA made more dormitory space available and reduced the need for offcampus housing. Centennial Hall now houses senior women, and West Hall houses senior men, one man per room. The first two noors of Summit Hall, for• merly home to Academy students, now house college men.

Miss

Old Main bas undergone a noticeable change. With the departure of the MLA professors, more office space was made available on the second Ooor of Old Main. The professors whose offices were on first floor, with the exceptions of Deans Huebner and Haar, and Professor Oldfield, are now on second floor. The offices were converted to a very roomy, comfortable lounge. Do you remember lhe long trips Lo Old Main lo gel lo the Nurst.''S orriet•"? ThoSt' or you who have made use or lhl• lll•alth Scrv1c(' know that this is no longl•r nt•ct•ssary. The ll<'allh Service Office 1s now housrd in Room 115 of the Academic Center, a more central location than its former home. The ofrice also has a small waiting room.

periences. Above all, she enjoyed instructing t he students in the art or teaching Bible stories to the children, so that they too could understand that Jesus loves them.

by Belh Lauersdorf What makes the best student teacher? Until this year you could have asked Miss Victoria Schuetze this question. She was the supervisor of student teachers here until the end of this past year. Now, after 17 years at DMLC, she is retiring. Miss Schuetze was born in Ellsworth Township near Litch· field, Minn. She attended a country school ror the elemen• tary grades. Then she went to high school and college here in New Ulm, graduating in 1933. During her 46 years of teaching, Miss Schuetze taught in various grades in many dif. ferent places. She started as an emergency teacher in rural Glencoe, Mfnn. From there she went to Cudahy, Wis. After Cudahy she taught in Tomah, Wis. and then in Lacrosse, Wis. Later she moved to Burlington, Wis. Finally she came back to Minnesota, teaching first in Min· neapolis, before coming to DMLC. One or the things Miss Schuetze remembers the most is working with the different student teachers. She says that it's interesting to m~t the individuals with their different personalities. She also found it gratifying to give the students helpful hints from her own ex•

---------· as tutor is basically one of dorm supervisor and liaison with Dean Huebner. He is pleased with the overall attitude of the stu· dents and is impressed with the way dorm order is for the most part maintained. There you have it, a little bit of informatio-1 to acquaint you with our new faculty members here at DMLC. As the year progresses, it is hope that many student-faculty friendships will develop, and we wish the five new teachers the Lord's Blessing in carrying out their God· appointed task of rearing up instructors for our Synod's schools.

GOOD TRIUMPHS OVER EVIL by Eric Bernhardt Students, faculty, and friends of DMLC were treated to an enjoyable evening of melodrama on September 27, as the AlphaOmega Players of Rockport, Texas, staged the play "Jenny the Mail-Order Bride" in the chapel-auditorium. The story revolved around Jenny, played by Shelly Moffett. Jenny bas become the mail-order bride of the upright and brave Lt. Ernest Straytontall of the U.S. Calvary, played by Alan Clark. An orphan who has been working in the sweatshops, Jenny is afraid that Lt. Straytontall would not want someone who has no heritage nor family, so she invents a phony background complete with new name, Jasamine Demerest. The evil villain, Alonzo T. F1icks, played by Mike Gene· bach, has discovered Jenny's secret on the stage-coach, and threatens to expose her if she does not comply to his lecherous scheme. Fearful of loosing the Lt. if the truth is known, Jenny consents to be a saloon girl in Alonzo's employ. The lieutenant is naturally dumbfounded and heartbroken and refuses to be consoled by his rough and tough sidekick Cactus Bell, portrayed by Jackie Goldberg. For a tense moment, it seems that nothing can be done to save the pure and helpless Jenny from the evil inten• tions of tllat infamous Alonzo T. F1icks. Finally, at the end, love and virtue triumph when the manly cavalry oCCicer and sidekick ride to the rescue. The play was pure melodrama from start to finish. In old fashioned enthusiasm, the aud• ience heartily cheered the good· i;' • booed and hissed the villain, and shouted warnings to the innocent Jenny. Such ~udience-actor interplay is a part of American melodrama, which has chang11rl little Crom its beginnings in the mid-nineteenth century. This play came com• plete with an authentic Olio, which is not what you buy in the store! An olio is simply a little bit of side entertainment such assing-a!ongs, jokes, riddles, and whatnot which is presented during the break in the middle

of the play. All in all. the evening turned out to be well worth it for the persons at· tending, and everyone left with a good-natured high-spirited feeling that only good old fashioned melodrama can produce. This play was the kick-off event for another year of DMLC lyceums. The goal of the lyceum program, under Professor Boemeke, is to provide interest• ing and educational productions to acquaint the student with subjects which they may not be exposed lo in the general school day. Lectures, plays, recitals, and demonstrations are all presented with the students entertainment in mind. The full lyceum schedule is not yet complete, but there are two confirmed presentations to note. On November 11, the Chimera

Theater of Saint Paul will present the musical "Rogers and Hart: A Musical Tribute." This musical will be presented at 3:00 p.m. and again al 7:30 p.m. All DMLC students, faculty, and friends will be invited, along with the general public from New mm, Mankato, and the surround.mg area. It promises to be a night to remember as the lives of Rodgers and Hart are traced through many or their famous songs. On January 18, DMLC will play host to the SainL Paul City Ballet troup, which will give a workshop on ballet along wilh an evening performance. The Messenger urges all students to take part in these lyceums, they're a chance to get out of the dorms and relax for a while, and who can pass up a chance like that?

by Kimberly Strobel Did you know that as of Sept. 21, 1979, there are 848 students enrolled at DMLC? According to .Prof. Kurt Grams there are 848 students of whom 595 are women and 253 are men. This is about 2.35 to 1 ratio in favor of the women. Even tboUJ?b there are this many enrolled here at DMLC, not all of I.hem are on campus. How can this be? Well, there are fifteen emergency teachers this year. Seven of them are women and eight of them are men. Besides these, there are one part-time woman and one man who are synodical certification students. This is how the total divides up among the classes. In the senior class there are 55 men and 129 women, bringing the total to 184 students. The juniors, who are 176 in all, have 128 women and 48 men. The sophomores have 65 men and 150 women, giving them 215 students. This years freshmen class is made up of 76 men and 180 women, giving them a total of 256 students. As you can see Lhere are many students on our campus this year. The next question is how many teachers do we have? According to Prof. A. Schultz we have 72 teachers which includes President Conrad Frey. This is about 11.78 to l ratio in favor or the student~.

HOW WAS YOUR SUMMER VACATION by Laurie Steeby How many times this year have you heard this conversation? Opening line: Hi! How was your summer? Basic reply: Good, how was yours? Expected response: Good. What did you do? Obvious answer: Oh I worked, and you? Standard rebuttal: Yeah, me too. By this time, both of you are so caught up in this line of questioning, you really don't care to know exactly what the person did or where he worked. Well, to help you out in this quest for trivia, I asked a few people what they did and where they worked, and I came up with some pretty intPresting oc• cupations. Probably the most interesting was how our student. body was scattered this summer from John Ray who dug ditches on the Pacific Ocean in southern California, to Jim Unke, who worked in a salmon canning factory in Alaska! Then we had "Gi Gi" Rhoades, who worked at a YMCA in the Colorado Rockies, and

Rachel Luetke, who worked in a laundry as a mangler mamma in National Park. Yellowstone Sounds pretty rough there, Rachel! One freshman, Carla Krauss, worked at the Black Forest, not in Germany, but in Frankenmuth, Ml. Ob, and of course, John Hartwig was all over the Midwest driving truck. Another noteworthy facet of lhe summer job was the difPete Schuferences in pay. macher bad a hard summer. He held up railings in a canning factory for $5.83 an hour in WI. Then there was Laurie Beckmann who sold diamonds in VA for minimum wage. Some other interesting jobs were the following: Cheryl Loersch worked in a Kohler Co. at an unusual job. She packed toilets, in '>oxes. Michele Es.slnann w;:,; a cock• tail waitress at Pine Knoll in Lake Mills, Wl. Esther Schmelzer was ., Can sus Bureau workf>.-. Sbt: set her own hours ar~ pay, depending on how many addres.,;es she obtained. Dave Bartell worked a.-; a

security guard for a bank in Arizona. Connie Reiter plucked turkeys - well not really. She worked in a packaging plaoL Robin Taylor built trucks in Flint. Tom Pfaff came back with a fantastic tan because he only worked nights. He played the banjo all summer with his band, The River City Band, out of LaCrosse, WI. Lynn Knittel worked as a telephone operator in South Haven, MI. Steve Grosinske played trombone with a circus band in Baraboo, WI. Diane Schramm had a really fulfilling summer. She supervised a recreation program for low income families. This progr.tm also included counseling people againsi drug abuse. No matter how we spent. our summer, I think we all agree it was too short, but now that we're all back, let's all work hard to make it a good and profitable year.

volleyball season is under way and the team is looking very promising. Coach Judy Wade believes that this could be tile best team that Dr. Martin Luther College has ever produced. The team is very young, consisting mostly of freshman and sophomores. Although the team is not very dominant, it is consistent. The team is full of promising players both in new people and old. The varsity is led by cocaptains, Beth Fischer and Crystal Roemhildt, the seniors on the squad. Other returnees are Lori Thompson, the top player last year, Barb Frey, Joy Greenemeier, Bethel Kemnitz, Liz Petermann, Wendy Pfeiffer, Jeanne Wade, Carrie Waldschmidt, and Sue Wendorf. Two freshman, Kris Clausnitz and Carolyn Kim, are inspmng players and have gained spots on varsity. Coach Wade says Lhat with the experience of the returnees and the hustling play of the new players, the team should have a good season. This year the team has the toughest schedule it has ever had. It faces some of the top teams in the state, such as Gustavus Adolphus College. They are also competing against teams in Division I and ll which consist

AT. SPORTS FOOTBALL STRATEGY by Sum Kcilh

"Hang in there," was Coach Dennis Gorsline's r.esponse when asked what lhe strategy fo r lhe Lancers was this year. Coach Gorsline stated that lhey are indeed facing a tough The Lancers are up season. against teams, more experienced teams, such as Northwester'l and Concordia. He also slated that the defense bas seven players lhal did not start last year, and the offense bas three that did not start in the 1978-79 football season. Freshmen turnout was also a disappointment in Gorsline's opinion, with only 9 freshmen on the team. However, what lhe Lancers lack in experience, confidence, anti team leadership, they make up [or in enthusiasm, togetherness, and the Cine Lancer tradition.

On Your Mark, Get Set, Gol by Dave H osbach On September 15, the DMLC cross country team opened its season at th£ St. Cloud Co-ed Invitational. Although South Dakota Stale swept both the men's and women's ract!;, there was promise shown by Dave Niemi of DMLC, who ran 10 kilometers in 34:27 to capture 50th out of 100 runners. Next time out, on September 19, the Lancers made an im· pressive showing, beating St. Paul Bible, 14-43. This was the biggest margin ever gained by a Lancer cross country team DMLC swept the top five places, with Jon WiUitz leading the way in 27:36 for five miles. Following Willitz were: Niemi at

27:49, Tim Torgerson at 28:47, Jim Rademan at 29:31, Jon Beyer at 29:46, and Nate Eber· hardt at 32:14. DMLC faced its biggest test of the new season on September 22, hosting its own invitational. The Lancers swept the tournament, with Niemi running third at 28:36. Ninth, tenth, and eleventh spots were taken by Torgerson, Rademan, and Beyer, respectively. Bob Kramer and Nate Eberhardt pushed up from behind. The Lancers, judging from their showing so far, can be expected to do very well this season, with the Likes of Niemi, Willitz, and others leading the way.

Slow

Start

A stubborn Lancer defense held the usually potent Dana offense to just one touchdown, that coming on a six yard run by Dana quarterback Tim Barber with 28 seconds remaining in the first half, following an interception and long return of a Dan Madson baltback-option pass. The extra point closed out the scoring in the duel of the defenses. Highlights for the Lancers in· elude a 50 yard pass play from Tod Bartholomew to Scott Huebner, a blocked field goal attempt, and interceptions by Paul Ryder and Emil Schuh to end Dana's scoring threats. The Lancer football squad suffered two more defeats in The successive away games. first of the two losses came al the hands of the obviously superior Northwestern of Roseville, 31-0, in a game highlighted by big plays pulled off by the ungracious host team. The followmg week our Lan• cers finally managed to light up the scoreboard before succumb· ing to a tough grou-p from Loras College in Dubuque, Iowa, 19· 14. Tod Bartholomew had his hand in both scores as he sneaked over for one touchdown and connected with DMLC's Scott Huebner on a 55 yard scoring strike. John Favorite added a couple of soccer-style boots for the extra points.

DR. MARTIN LUTHER COLLEGE, NEW ULM, MN 56073

DIV!LC RECEIVES COIN COLLECTIOt~ by Greg Boll We all know that Martin Luther holds a special place for us here at DMLC. It is with this in mind that Theodore and Ruth Pelzl have presented a special Luther Collec• lion to our college, containing coins, medals, banknotes, and stamps related to Luther and bis life. Mr. Pelzl was a Wisconsin Synod grade school teacher for forty• seven years, of which forty-two were spent in New L1lm teaching 7th and 8th grades at St. Paul's. After his retirement from grade school teaching in 1967, he served as an organ instructor here at DMLC until 1972. While spending most of his time now in full re• tirement, he is stiH a part-time organist at St. Paul's Church. How did Mr. Pelz) get into coin collecting? He notes that it all began when he inherited a small coJlection of American and foreign coins when he was eleve~. Later, while attending DMLC, he managed to build a sizeable Indian cent collection with the aid of his grand• father, who served as St. Paul's treasurer al the time, and with whom he would trade contempo• rary cents for the old. He men• tioned that he ha<;! always held a certain awe for Luther. which a• ,oui;ed his intere,-t in collecting coins related to tiis lifo. Shortly after World Wa I. he began his initial efforts at this Luther Collection - collecting not only coins and medals, but also paper money and stamps linked in some way to the great reformer. The collection, including some thirty coins. has taken years to build to its present state. A great deal of effort and luck was needed just to obtain one coin a year - and more often than not even this was an impossibility. Let's take a brief look at this collection . . . . Of particular interest is a set of ten bronze coins issued in 1967 on the 450th anniversary of the nailing of the ninety-five theses on the church door at Wittenberg. Mr. Pelzl made attempts to . purchase these valuable coins by writing to the East German government - con•

tacting such cities as Wittenberg, Berlin, and even Leipzig. The government there was most reluc• tant to answer him, but he finally received a reply from Leipzig. Con• tained on these ten coins are scenes related to Luther's life, among which are his birthplace at Eisleben, the Wittenberg church, his wife Katy, the hearing at Worms, and the coat of arms of the Wartburg. Also in the collection are three medals issued in 1717, 1817 , and 1917, on the two hundredth, three hundredth, and four hundredth an• niversaries of the Reformation. The first two are composed of pure silver, the last one is of nickel. The college attempted to purchase the 1617 medal by mail auction from the noted Illinois auctioning corporation Jess Peters in the famed 'Luther Auction' held this past September but was outbid for it. Other medals found in the collec• tion are ones issued on the 400th anniversary of significant events in Luther's life - his birth (1883). his stand at Worms (1921), the completion of his catechism (1929), and the Augsburg Confession (1930). An interesting sil\·er medal from 1971 highlights the 450th anniversary of his stand before Lhe Worm's Reichstag. :\fr. Pelz! was also privileged to obtain a two mark and n live mark

400th Anniversary of the

com with Luther on them. 1ss:.ied

by Nazi dictator Ado! f Hitler in 1930. Together with these two genuine marks is an interesting counterfeit of the two mark coin, minted by the German Under• ground. Two rather curious objects to be seen in the collection are a red porcelain coin and a white porcelain medal. The white medal, issued on the 450th anniversary of the Reformation, was obtained at the Wittenberg Luther House by Dr. Koelpin. Besides coins and medals, Mr. Pelz) has included some German emergency currency and stamps in this collection. There are two bills issued in 1921 by Eisenach, Ger• many. depicting scenes from the Wartburg, as well as a fifty pfennig note from 1926 bearir.g a facsimile of Luther's signature. There is also

President Frey receives the Pelzls' coin colJection.

Mr. Pelzl noted that he feels this collection illustrates that even governments have a respect for the great theologian and reformer Martin Luther, spending money to mint currency and medals in his honor. As for any other person of today interested in starting a Luther Collection, he would discourage them. Time has made the build-up of such a collection extremely difficult due to the high costs and coin scarcity.

This collection, given in the Pelzl family nllme, will be on per• manent display in the DMLC library· a first day stamp cover Crom October 31, 1967 - issued in Ulm, Germany - and a special commemorative Luther stamp issued by the German government. m the near future. All are urged to go and examine the collection. Our sincere thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Pelz!.

Carol Meier and her Apache mission display.

by Dave Hagen The annual Mission Fair, planned by the Missions Committee of the Collegiate Council, was held on Tuesday, November 13. Its purpose was to acquaint the student body with the mission work carried on by our Wisconsin Synod. Jun• iors and seniors were excused from classes for the day to attend the sessions; freshmen and sophomores were able to attend during their free hours. The theme of this year's fair was Foreign Missions. In the morning sessions, two students and a former student shared their experiences in foreign mission fields. Carolyn Sieh, a senior, gave a slide presentation on her year as an emergency teacher at our East Fork Apache mission. Carol Meier, a junior, gave a talk on

her work in the Apache nursery. Following the morning chapel ser· vice, Chris Tews, a 1976 Dl\lLC graduate, gave a slide presentai ion on her work in the mission school in Japan. During the lunch break, many were able to view the dfa· plays of foreign missions in Room 121. The afternoon session was pre• sented by Pastor Ronald Freier, chairman of our synod's Executive Committee tor Japanese Missions. His presentation included slides and a report of the current condition of the Japanese missions. The Execu• tive Committee recently returned from a visit to the Japan mission field. The student body was also privileged to have Pastor Freier conduct the Evening chapel service that night.

1Ehitnrial by Dawn Fuerstenau Examiners • Crom the Commis• sion on Institutions o[ Higher Ed· ucation of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools visited Doctor Martin Luther Col• lege on October 22 through 24. After meeting with various groups and evaluating virtually every as• pect of campus activity, they left stating that they would be recommending to the Association the accreditation of Dr. Martin Luther College. What exactly is accreditation? It is the process whereby a nation• ally recognized agency indicates that an institution meets established standards of quality. This is de• tennioed through self study by the college and evaluation by chosen examiners whose colleges are members of accreditated organizations. Accreditation for us here at Dr. Martin Luther College serves basically a three-fold purpose. While it does not provide any cer• tification by state departments of public instruction, our college will be recognized by other accredited schools. This is especially impor• tant for those students going on to graduate school. Credits earned at Dr. Martin Luther College will be more trans[erable to other colleges and universities. Finally, the col• lege's accredited status will enable students to participate more readily in financial aid programs sponsored by the federal and state governments, and private agencies such as large corporations.

DMLC Bands In Concert by Beth Laucrsdorf The auditorium was filled with music on November 1. It was lhe first concert pre;ented by. lhis year's Symphonic Concert Band and.Wind Ensemble. The first half of the proJ!?am featured the eii;ity•lhree members of the Symphonic Concert Band. They began with the grand "Flourish For Wind Band" by Ralph Vaughn Williams. "Screnata" by L<"roy Anderson enhanred lhe concert with its Latin rhythms. Their next selection was "Knightsbrid~e March." a lively tune by Eric Coates. Henry Cowcll's ''Shoonthrce" told a tale or sleep. "Mancini." a medley by Alfred Recd. was a high· light of the concert and closed the first portion. It included excerpts from "Moon River," "Baby Elephant Walk.' and "Hatari." After a brief intermis.c:ion, the 50 member Wind Ensemble presented "Radetzky March" by Jo• hann Strauss I, arranged by Norman Richardson. "Sioux Valla• tions" by William H. Hill followed with its five variations on an original Sioux Indian theme. The next piece, "Handel in the Strand," was by Percy Aldridge Grainger and arranged by Richard franko Gold· Their final selection was man. "Third Suite" by Robert E. Jager. It consisted o{ three parts: March and Waltz, with their unequal time values, and Rhondo, the lively ending. Prof. Roger Hermanson, the di· rector, was gratified to see the size of the audience.

Services Held a t DMLC by .\1arjean Burbach The Twenty-sixth Annual joint Reformation Festival Service of Wisconsin Synod congregations was held in the Dr. Martin Luther Col• lege gymnasium on October 28. The litergist for the service was Pastor John Stellick or Belview, Minnesota. Pastor Carl Henkel of St. James, Minnesota, was the guest His sermon text was speaker. Galatians 1:6-10, and the sermon dealt with the diffetences between the t?ue Gospel and counterfeit eospeb.

Music was provided throughout the service. Professor Ames Ar,· derson accompanied the congrega• tion on the organ. The children's choir, singing "0 Lord, Look Down From Heaven, Behold," was djrected by Mr. Stuart Steffen, of Gibbon, Minnesota. Professor James Engel dJrected the mass chorus in "Look From Thy Sphere of Endless Day." The closing hymn, "A Mighty Fort~ is Our God," was accompanied by a brass quintet.

by ChNyl Roth Professor Wayne Wagner moved from the classroom to center stage Friday, November 16, to perform a variety of organ music from the Baroque, Romantic and Oasi.ical periods. The music consisted of J .S. Bach's "Pastorale" and "Trio Son• ato I in Eb .M ajor," along with a chorale prelud<' by Brahms. Hugo Disllcr's "How Lovely Shines the Morning Star,'' and "Toccata in d'' by Max Regen. Congregational singing was also included in the program.

BENDERMA NIA by Eric Bernhardt The very well known composer Jan Bender was the guest of DMLC on Friday the second of November. On his way back home to Germany. Mr. Bender lectured on such topics as improvisation. He directed the College Choir, which sang Hodie Christus ~atus Est, a Christmas piece written by Bender. Dave Koester, Beth Wo rgull, Miss Kresniclca, and Prof. Wagner each played organ pieces also written by Mr. Bender. That evening, he rehearsed the Chapel Choir in the Bender number they were workmg on. It was a very special day for anyone who got a chance to listen to Mr. Bender lecture, or to be in a choir rehearsed by the composer of the song you're singing. Jan Bender proved to be a man o f much wit along with a great amount of knowledge on organ and choral per• fonnance and composition. DMLC was truly honored to have such a great man on our campus, and we wish him many years of happiness in his coming retirement.

Two new pictures, one an oil, the other a pastel, brighten the walls of our Recitation Hall and speak to the passers-by, The first, a painting of the Crucifixion entitled ·'Behold Thy Son, " is the work of Joan Bartos, a college sophomore , The pastel, "Wartburg_," is the production of .J?rofessor C, Trapp, Someone has aptly said, "Talent is where you find it, " and its discover y on our campus has pleased both faculty and student body. When the faith that is ours finds expression in more than words, we rejoice. The oil painting expresses "in a larger sense the low estate to which the Son of God had given HimseU for us. The composition is worked into a circle with its pivot at 1esus• feet and its major arc al ffis head. The undertones are burnt umber and Italian sienna; the overtones are American vermilion, Turkey red, chrome yellow, and Prussian blue. Motion is evident in the composition -the brisk anticipatory steps of those whohave cometoseeagood show, the pleading figure of a thief being lifted on his c r oss, the straining workmen who go stolidly about their tedious labors, the passive mother the disillusioned followers who stare unbehevingly at what they cannot comprehend, " The pastel with its soft colors nevertheless brings out the r u_ggedness of the setting of Luther' s translation of the Scriptures, The castle on the rock symbolizes the faith similarly built on the Rock of our salvation; such 1s the message of pleasing color, form and composition.

Two Community Concerts Given The first of the 1953-54 Commuruty Concerts was presented at the New Ulm High z~hl'Jol on Tuesday, October 13. It featured Vienna Academy Chorc.s.

The new, !$-room, brick residence, located southeast of the Men's Dormitory, has finally been completed. Construction began last spring but was heldup by the local mill strike. Prof. R. Hoenecke and his family are now in the midst of moving, This arrangement came about when the Deanship change was decided upon, thus making it necessary for Prof. Hoenecke to vacate the Dean's residence. Another new building has also been added to our campus, A new garage constructed of clay tile has been built on the southeast side of the heating plant. This heated building houses the college bus and the snow plow equipment. In addition to the above projects, two more residences are being planned for our cam pus. Construction of these houses is to begin next spring and is to be completed by next fall. They will be located adjacent to the residence just completed. The building of these new homes was decided upon at the Synod Convention in Milwaukee, October 8- 10. 1953. (See map of campus on page 4. )

A GLANCE LANCERETTES TO SPIKE ON by Karen Janlle "We don't have anything to be ashamed about this year. It's just that we had a lot to learn and I think we just had a few growing pains," was the way that Coach Wade summed up the '79 volleyball season. "We were disappointed a lot of times, especially when we lost the Bethel and Mankato matches, but l think that once we get beyond the inexperience and prepare ourselves to handle the point after point pressure, we'll do well because we have a lot more talent than we've ever had." Lancerette players Lori Tbomp• son and Carrie Waldschmidt revealed that in spite of t he fact that they lost some games that they should have won, they thought that the team had improved a lot since last year. The bigh·light o f their season, and also the biggest disappointment, was coming so close to beating Mankato before finally giving in to defeat. An added flair to this year's format was sport• volleyball psyching. Sport•psyching is a con• centration aid that helps to con• trol the player's mental game as well as his physical game. The team spent close to 20 minutes during some practice sessions just concentrating on the ball and thinking of how they would react when it came to them in actual play. Although they were only able to scratch the surface of sport· psyching due to lack of time and weren't actually able to apply the technique in games, Coach Wade is thinking about keeping it going for next year. The Lancerett 's schedule for next year should be good to them. Even though they play a lot of tough teams, these contests prepare them for what they're up against in tournament play.

Women's Cross Country Achieves Goals by Laurie Miller With the coming of the cold weather and snow, cross country closes its season. This year it ended on a very good note. The women bad their joys, sorrows, high points, low points, pain, and fun throughout the season. The team started out the season with a goal to beat more teams than last year, and to beat St. Mary's of Winona. They accom· plished both of these goals by defeating three teams and by beating St. Mary's in the DMLC Invitation• al. Another goal was met when senior captain Kathy Hitsch ran in the state meet and took 46th place. The team also had some outstanding accomplishments by inOne was by dividual members. senior Rise Rabenberg who, at the DMLC Invitational, ran the best time ever in her career, a 24:10. The second was by junior Marie

JaeckeI who improved her own personal time from the 23 minute range to 21:53. The last accom· plishment was achieved by Kathy Hirsch when she won the DMLC Invitational, her first win in her cross country career. She also set a new school record for the 5000 meter cross country run with a time of 19:49. Coach Paul Boehlke said that the season did have its disappointments, such as the Bethel Invitational where they could have done better. Injuries hindered many women this year, and this hurt the team as a whole. However, Coach Boehlke said that the year was very rewarding when sharing the moments with the women after they kund out they won their home invitational, or ran the best time of their careers, or set a new school record. He said it was a thrill to watch two runners cross the finish line band in

hand because they did not want to beat the other. Coach Boehlke enjoyed the women and their com• petitive, but friendl y, spirit and is looking forward to next year. When asked about next year's goals, Coach BoehJke commented that it should be a better season because of the amount and quality of returning runners. He said that the team would be hurt by the graduation of seniors Kathy Hiisch and Rise Rabenberg, but hopes that the experienced and new runners will fill the gap. The year's Women's Cross Country team consisted of Kathy Hirsch, Rise Rabenberg, Sylvia Becker, Michelle Homeber, Marie Jaeckel, Raebel Luetke, Peggy Sickmann, Judy Luehring, Katie T~mer, and Lori Mittlesteadt. Congratulations Women's Cross Country on a good season.

AT SPORTS MEN'S CROSS COUNTRY

WINS CHAMPIONSHIP

by Dave Hosbach

Since last we heard Crom our friends on the cross country course, many exciting things have have happened in their favor. On September 29, the Lancer runners went to Bethel, where they placed six.th out of a field of seven teams by overtaking Augsburg by a score of 150-220. Jon Willitz led DMLC for the eight kilometer course, placing 25th in 28:09. Dave Niemi placed 29th in 28:22, and Tim Torgerson placed 39th in 29:03. Carleton was next on the Lancer trail, where, on October 12, the Lancers ran the JV end of the invitational tournament. No team scores were compiled, but Jon Willitz placed 11th in a field of almost 130 participants, running a cool 26:51. Dave Niemi ran at a 27:35 pace to take 34th place. The highlight of the season came on October 20 when the Lancers captured the National Little College Athletic Association District Cham· pionship. They did it with a 2nd, 3rd, 4th place sweep by Jon Willitz, Tim Togerson and Dave Niemi. The host school, Pillsbury, took second place. Beside the 2-3-4 punch, there was also a 6-7-8 punch of Jim Rademan, John Beyer, and Bob Kramer. Nate Eberhardt took 12th and Ed Raabe 15th. The times were sent to the NLCAA for national ranking. In the All American listing, Tim Torgerson, Jon Willitz, and Dave Niemi, placed . In the final meet of the season on October 27, DMLC hosted the Twin Rivers Conference meet at Flandrau State Park. The Lancers couldn't quite catch defending champ Roseville but made a strong second place showing, being edged out by 27-39. The Lancers gave

by Paul Danuser With a 1-6-1 win-loss record, the average football fan might see this year's Lancer football season as a very unsuccessful one. However, to the wary observer, one who really gets into, and follows bis team, it wasn't really such a bad year. As senior tri-captain Jim Hahn put it, ''With a couple of breaks, we

could have been 5-3." This is evident when one looks at some scores of games played this year: a 7-0 loss to Dana, a 19-14 loss to Loras, a 14-14 tie with Concordia, and a 7-6 heart-breaking loss to rivals Northwestern of Watertown. The one win came on ho·mecoming, at th~ expense of the Crusaders of Maranatha, by a score of 7-6. The scoring resulted from

a 30 yard pass from Tod Bartholomew to Jim Hahn, and the winning extra point booted by John Favorite. Aside from the breaks of the game, several injuries to key players hurt the squad, although the vacant positions were filled admirably. A general consensus of this year's squad felt this team was a lot of fun with more togetherness shown than in some seasons past. Also mentioned by the gridders was the fact that the coaches did a very good job, despite what the record indicates. Eight seniors, Tod Bartholomew, Dave Bartelt, Emil Schuh, Daryl Weber, Ray Rubin, Steve Janke, Dave Neujahr and Jim Hahn will be lost to graduation, but feel assured that their positions will be filled by potential leaders such as juniors John Lange and Gene Pfeifer, sophomores Scott Herrewig and Scott Huebner, and the surprising, hardhitting freshman, Clint Tesch. So why don't we, as loyal Lancer fans, look past the 1·6·1 record, and look at the real essence of the team, the fun and positive attitude shared by "our boys in shoulder pads."

Consortium by Eric Bernhardt On the 26 o[ October, Dr. Martin Luther College was the host of a meeting of the Minnesota Colleges and Universities Council of Music and the Minnesota Music Theory Consortium. It was a meeting of the beads of all the Music schools, divisions, or departments plus those who teach or are otherwise interested in music theory from the colleges and universities from Minnesota and the sunound• ing area. ln conjunction with this meeting, Dr. Ames Anderson of DMLC pre• sented a brief half-hour concert of organ music in the DMLC ChapelAuditorium. His fast piece was

Fantasy, which was written by Gerald Near in 1970. It is a very contemporary piece, employing a free atonal language. It was quite a bit soundwise from the other two pieces which Dr. Anderson performed. The Two Choral Preludes by Bach, All Glory Be To God On High, and Through Adam's Fall AIJ Mankind is Corrupted, were of the classic, well known Bach church style, as was the last piece of the mini-concert, Fugue in D major. The concert was a rme break from classes in the middle of the day, and all present seemed to enjoy the performance of a very accomplished organist. Dr. Ames Anderson.

DEAN ACCEPTS CALL FOR PRESIDENT

by Eric Bernhardt On November 13, Tuesday, Dean Lloyd Huebner received a call from the DMLC Board of Control to replace CoMad Frey as College President beginning with the 198081 school year. This, by now, is old news to most of you. After much prayer and consideration, God moved Dean Huebner to accept

that divine call on Monday, December 3. • The following is a brief interview with Dean Huebner with Eric Bernhardt. Eric: At this time, Dean, what aze your primary goals for the 1980-81 term and following? Dean Huebner: Well, if there was any specific problems on campus, it would be my objective to tackle those. As it is, though, there is nothing pressing to overcome right now. This is a tribute to President Frey in itself. He spent his career here building up DMLC to its present academically stable condition. Right ,now, my main objective will be to continue strengthening Dr. Martin Luther College. Eric: Since you have developed such a good rapport with the students, will you try to make your new position more open to the students? Dean Huebner: While I hope to maintain close contact with the students, I do not in any way intend to interfere wit.h the new Dean oi Students. lf a problem occurs 'hat des~r·e: tL~ Dean's attention, I won't hesitate to send a student in to see him. My duties as president will preclude any actions on my part which could better be handled by the Dean.

Eric: Speaking of the new Dean, there have been rumors going around campus naming various professors having been asked to replace you. What about it, is there any truth to that? Dean Huebner: I've heard those rumors and they're completely false. The same process will be used to 5elect a new Dean as was ui;ed to select a new President. A call for names will be issued via the "Korth• western Lutheran," after which any voting member of the WELS may recommend various people for the position. Thus DMLC students themselves may recommend people fo.. tbP 'loi:i+fon of Dean Eric: So actually students can have a band in nominating people just as do other teachers and ministers, right? That's right. Dean Huebner: your opinion is just as much appreciated as President Frey's or mine. Eric: How do you feel about the praise the city of New Ulm has given your decision to accept the rall to become President? Dean Huebner: I'm very hum• bled by the good will I've received from the city. I've always liked people, and from my beginning here in New Ulm I have tried to be active in such things as Heritagefest,

· etc. Eric: What's your opm1on on the present college/community interelations? Dean Huebner: For many ye.m DMLC was pretty well separated from New Ulm down in the valley. We were a "city set on a hill" for a long time. President Frey has done much to open up the college to the city, inviting them to use our large Union Gym, and to attend our lyceums and other produclie,;•1s. I would like to see such interela 'ions continued. Eric: Are there any changes students can expect for next year? Dean Huebner: All that's definite now is the early calend:u which was touched on last year, aside from that, I guess it's just wait and see. Eric: One last thing. You were here even before you arrived as Dean, isn't that correct? Dean Huebner: Yes it is. You see, I graduated from Northwestern College in 1947, at which ti.me I accepted a 1 year call as tutor here at DMLC. This w:;s a different job from Tutor Mishke's. I mainly was called to teach. I didn't even live in the men's dorm. God's blessing to Dean Huebner as he begins his new position next year.

THE TROJAN - LANCER CONFLICT A guest editorial by Mark Cordes of Northwestern College's Black and Rt>d.

Homecoming may not mean much at most colleges, but it's very important at Northwestern. And why not? Alumni from miles around return to live and relive memories long tucked away in spe· cial comers of their hearts. When somedaywe students of the present return with them to our alma mater, our memories may be even more precious than theirs. Homecoming at Northwestern today is far more than it was in the not too distant past. They shared in the tradi· tional Homecoming activities, like building 0oats, writing speeches, and lining up interesting company. But the excitement of these things fades with the mere mention of DMLC.

Our rivalry with Dr. Martin Luther College is relatively new. For it wasn't until October of 1972 that Northwestern College finalJy consented to meet the young Lancer team on their turf. But there was no reason for a rivalry yet. The B & R reporter who recorded the details of the game told it like this: The Trojans went down to buffalo country and torgol about the distractions long enough lo post an easy vie· lory. NWC had just Lou much talent and deplh for lhe Lancers first-year football learn to cope with. It was a uery warm afternoon and New Ulm 's bench was loo meager lo supply the fresh players lhal Coach Thompson could put on the field . . . The game was played sloppily in view of the fact that our gridders were penalized 115 yards. The lopsided score of 35 to O tells the rest of the story. It didn't take long, however, for

the Lancer football program to get on its feet. And with eacl> passing sekon · ~ue margm oetwe~n tne scores narrowed until the Trojans began to expect very different ball games. Here's a segment from the report of the battle or 1974: New Ulm, Minnesota homecoming . . . dedication of their new football bowl . . . an intense rivalry only three years old. The Trojans traueled ou1•r :J!',O 1111/1•.~ to gc:I lo their {lltll th WIii /ht' season, bu I 1/ did11 '/ cume easy. The Lancers were slly high {or this one und really gaue us a ba Itie before f itiully succumbing.

Witt .he total yards gained standing at t\'WC's 230 to DMLC's 204 and a f:nal score of 13 to 9, it must hav;? been quite a struggle. It was mr.st definitely a strong catalyst to the growing rivalry. Last year the Trojans once again took the long westward trek to battle it out with the Lancers. Those who watched the game will never forget the Lancers' la11t long march to the Trojan five-yard line. What happened next shattered the hopes of the DMLC fans. On a Lancer fake handoff Pete Kiecker, now a famous Trojan hero, slipped through and smashed the ball loose for Steve Hein to recover. After a few more minutes of action the game endlld with Northwestern barely on top 13 to 9. No one knew as well as the Trojans knew bow close they had come to meeting their watch. And once again the rivalry got a powerful shot in the

arm. Football stories alone don't tell the entire account of the Lancer•

Trojan conflict. After ten yeais without games, the 1972 NWC basketball team once more contended with that of DMLC. Since then the Trojan-Lancer Qassic has been a

highlight of the November season. The victories on the basketball court, however, have been far more evenly distributed than those on the gridiron. The wrestlers too have increased the rivalry in hard· fought matches. Interscholastic competition between our schools is stiff. Most of us at Northwestern have really enjoyed these contests, es• pecially from our point of view. To take an objective look, however, puts the past few years in a dif• ferent light. An outsider would get a more telling view of the situation. From his standpoint he could easily detect the feelings of a senior at DMLC who goes to the locker room after his fourth loss to "those Trojans." What would our observer have though in 1974 when the b_ad feelings manifested themselves in the unfortunate "preachers beat the teachers" cheers? And how healthy would the rivalry have looked to him two years ago at the Lancer Classic in DMLC's gym when several Northwestern cheerleaders embarrassed everyone with their questionable antics? The spirit bPtween the two schools has not aiways Dl!erl good. .IU tlIDCS It U-48 been sadly antagonistic. With the eyesofanoutsider we would readily see that much of the blame for the bad times rests on Trojan shoul• ders. And the fitting question arises, "ls it all worth it?" We may pay part of the price now in bad feelings between our schools. We may have to pay the bulk of it in the future. A statement like that over a matter as seemingly innocent as an interscholastic rivalry would have shocked me a few years ago, before I had talked to a friend of mine who showed me the other side or the picture. He told me that in his ministry be has witnessed cases of problems related to bad feelings left over from the college days of alumni Crom both schools. Shocked even then, l asked him if be was sure they were related to this rivalry. He said he was certain of it. The cause of ou.r problems may lie beneath the surface of the rivalry. It may be related to the fact that some of us consider the preaching ministry to be the highest calling, even higher than the teaching ministry. But the ministry is the ministry. Some of its aspects may require more responsibility than others, but it is still the ministry. And when we finally assume our ~ponsibilities of the pulpit and the classroom we won't want to put ourselves one above the other. We will always be servants, slaves of the Gospel. We aren't called to dominate, only to follow. And as we together follow our Shepherd, He will, with us as His mouthpieces, also lead His sheep. It is the high calling of the ministry to which we all aspire. And God grant that Lancer and Trojan alike attain it. lf we could find a single attitude

which lies at the base of all strife, it would have to be pride. And if we have had bad feelings between us in the past, it might very well be because we students at Northwest• ern tend to put ourselves on a higher plane of performance than just about everyone, including those who attend our sister school. Because we can't always look at our situation as an outsider might see it, we often don't realize how our actions might be understood. This is indeed a common human malady with which everyone, especially the pastor, wrestles all bis life. But in the case of the students at Dr. Martin Luther College we have a great deal more to lose by not being aware of our faults in this matter as well as the potential danger that lies in the rivalry of the past eight years. The students at DMLC have many problems similar to ours. They wrestle, as we do, with their feelings of inadequacy as well as interests which draw them away from their studies and their calling. For many of them the path through college is an uphill climb with an <?,"!_r~dNtce of uncer~nties at the summit. What they see in the wists beyond is an endless stream of children who will need to learn some often mundane things. Ahead lie papers to correct, tons of ad• ministrative work to be done, and continuous interruptions of their cherished supper hours to tell Johnny's parents the assignment he promised he had written down. Besides all this, if our fellow student has been in a congregation where the teacher and pastor did not get along, he may also be dreading such strife. It doesn't help these collegiates to see domineering and insensitive students at Northwestern who may some d1y make their teaching tasks even more difficult. Once more we ask ourselves the question, "Is our growing rivalry with DMLC really worth it?" To get lost in our excitement. and desire to win, to lose our sense of perspective in our victorious revel• ings, could cost us much. At stake are not only our present interests, but possibly even a share of our effectiveness in building the kingdom of the Lord. But that is where the secret lies. We students from both schools make the sacrifices we do for only one reason. We want to share the kingdom of the Lord with every man, woman, and child that we can reach. Our hearts cannot be satisfied with work in other fields because there are just too many peopJe to help in too short a time. In desiring to share the kingdom of the Lord we share in a common goal. With this in mind we can see how rivalry with DMLC has brought us an abundance of good. The competition may possess a certain potential of problems, but in spite (Continued on page 4)

REFLECTIONS ON CHRISTMASTID E by Greg Boll

V-mat does Cbrir.mias mean to t you? For all of us, Christmas is a happy time, a time of anticipation and joy. 1 asked a number of students what Christmas means to them. For the most part, there is a definite similarity in the responses. Perhaps most of us are conditioned to respond, "Christmas means the birth of Jesus Christ, who was sent from God to die for us." Indeed, this is true! But, let's not lose the feeling when we say those words. Christmas is a time to remember and celebrate God's grace in sending His Son to save us. Can we ever fully grasp the worth · of this most precious of all gifts? Were it not for this gift, all man-

kind would stano condemned before a just and righteous God. Thanks be to this God that those many Old Testament prophecies were fulfilled, for in their fulfillment rests the assurance of our salvation. Remember the message of the angels to the shepherds in the Judean bills? They came with jubilation because they had the greatest news in the world to tell "Christ the Savior is Born!" Yes, Jesus, the promised Messiah, the Redeemer, bad come to reconcile mankind to God and bridge the infinite gulf between them. The shepherds showed their excitement at this good news. They wasted no time in coming to see the child and

spr;ading the word. Has this excite~ ment of two thousand years ago lost its reality? Does Christmas still stir our hearts with great joy? Are we bursting to tell this good news to the whole world? Perhaps we must admit that we don't always feel this way. Let's remember that Christmas is a time of hearing, telling, and pondering the most wonderful mes.sage in the entire world. Christmas means a message so wonderful that every burden we must bear dissolves in the presence or Him who loves us. Christmas is peace. Besides the greatest meaning to be found in Christmas, students certainly have an anticipation of

being with their relatives and showing their love for them as God has shown his love (or all mankind. By now all of us are pretty excited about getting home - getting away from school for a few short, precious weeks. Christmas time for some is party time, for others it's working for a little extra ca.5h, taking a trip somewhere, or getting caught under the mistletoe two hundred times. Whatever sideline meanings we may find in Christmas, let's all keep Christ as the focal point. May each and every one of us have a most happy and blessed Christmas, and, of course, a joyous New Year. In Christ, peace!

A fairly new organization on the DMLC campus presented its first Christmas Concert on Sunday, December 9 , at 2:00 p.m. in the chapel auditorium. The concert was presented by the DMLC Hand• bell Choirs, formed last January under the direction of Professor Wayne Wagner. Professor Ronald Shilling was the organisl for the concert. The Handbell Choirs consist of five groups: two beginning choirs, two experienced choirs and a selected choir, which is the group that performs for off campus events. Their concert consisted of various selections interspersed with congregational hymns. The beginning choirs opened the concert with ''O Come, 0 Come, Emanuel" for bell choirs with con• gregational stanzas, and "Unto Us A Child is Born" by Stephens. The coni:regational hymns were "Behold, a Branch is Growing,"

and "0 Lord How Shall I Meet Thee" by Wood. This portion of the concert closed with "Angels We HilVe Heard On High," by Stephens, for bell choirs with con• gregational stanzas. The experienced choirs present• ed, "Savior of the Nations Come," by T. Beck, "Christmas Medley," ("0' Sanctissima"), "Come Hither, Ye Children," " 0 Come, All Ye Faithful," and " Joy to the World," by T. Beck. The congregation joined in singing TLH 87, "Joy to the World," " Hark the Herald Angels Sing," "Away in a Manger," and "Silent Night," by T. Beck and "Hark Now, 0 Shepherds," by Brown. This portion of the con• cert closed with the congregational hymn, TLH 81, "O Jesus Christ, Thy Manger Is." The final portion of the concert was presented by the selected choir. Their selections were, "0 Little Town of Bethlehem," by Scoggins, "Voluntary on a F1ight of Angels,"

by Handel, "All My Heart This Night Rejoices," and, "Good Christian Men Rejoice," by Zabel, and "Ding Dong! Merrily on High,"

by Brown. The concert closed with the congregational singing of a hymn, TLH 97, "Let Us All with Oladsome Voice."

(Continued from page 2) of all of them there is a great deal more to be gained by it. What usually h2ppens when our schools get together to bang heads on the gridiron, or trade shots at the hoops or on the mats? Even from an outsider's viewpoint these times look very exciting. It is then that we usually enjoy some of the best fellowship to be had anywhere. How many other students with so many common interests and sacrifices can get together as we do? And it isn't only the students who have so much to gain by this social contact. Ask the professors and coaches whether or not they enjoy meeting future fellow workers from the other schools. Let them tell you bow much they have benefited from these opportunities to sit down and enjoy old friendships as well as discuss common problems and policies. The social contacts between players and professors carry profits enough. I don't even need to mention the other social contacts, the details or which your own imaginations can readily supply. These friendships that are born today will continue to bring us joy and satisfaction in the future. Our chances of working with teachers we already know is far grenter today than it would have been before 1972. ln the future, such old acquaintances with memories to share can act as springboards for cooperative work. With the individuals we meet, we may do a lot of work building lhe Lord's kingdom in our congregations as weU as in our sanctified Christian homes. Good attitudes which we foster now will stand us in good stead when the responsibilities of pulpit and classroom pass into our hands. As men who will some day be called upon to be leaders m the Church, a great deal of the re• sponsiQility wrapped up in the Trojan-Lancer rivalry belongs to us. We need to be humble in our dealings

CONG RA TULA TIONS TO

toward everyone. And as leaders, we need to be showing by our example where the good paths lie. The many examples of good sportsmanship in the past should be repeated over and over again. I hope that the accounts which I've presented of earlier games with DMLC depict the objective way the original B & R authors reported them. They all showed an obvious desire to give credit where credit was due. For example the story of last year's game ended like this: "ll was an outstanding game on the part of both defenses, and a fine effort on the part of the Lancer offense." We can find it easy to print our respect for a rising power in the pages of the Black and Red. But the story that is read by our opponents will always be what they see in our actions. Such good attitudes of respect for dedicated fellow Christians will also carry over into our conduct after the games and on weekends when our reasons for seeing each other's campuses aren't necessarily athletic. We1J do all we can not to give the impression that we own the DMLC campus or a large portion of the student body. And we certainly won't want to be the cause of or participants in activities where we would be ashamed to lake the Savior we both hope to serve. Thus in the matter of our increasing rivalry with DMLC, as in all things that involve the exercise <>f our Christian liberties, we must sort out the good from \he bad. And there is certainly a world of good which can come out of this. As much as possible we need to encourage the good and lead the righl way by our example. By doing so we will encourage our Christian friends toward goals which we also share. The blessings that we reap from our rivalry today can be unbounded tomorrow as long as the blessing of our common Friend continues to rest upon it.

Season

by Karen Janke The women's varsity basketball team is off to a 1-2 start, but don't Jet their record fool you. Their two losses happened to be against non-conference teams Southwest and Mankato States both or which recruit. In their most recent contest, they broke out of the losing column with a decisive victory over conference foe, Bethel. According to Coach Barb Leopold, our team, although young, has a lot of depth and hard-working team members. "I have a lot of confidence in these girls," remarked Miss Leo· pold. "They never give up. Even when they're behind, they still con• tinue to put out their best." Miss Leopold refused to list a specific starting line-up, saying that the players who worked best together would undoubtedly be in there storming the boards and racking up the points. Two incentive-creating devices that are put to use by both our JV and Varsity coaches following each game include the Power-Rating Technique and the Award System. In the Power-Rating Technique, lhe coaches take the positive factor's of each players game (i.e. points,

assists, blocked shots, flee throws,and steals) and subtract the player's negative factors (i.e. fouls, missed field goals, missed free throws, and turnovers) from it. The object is to keep the difference in the positive numbers. From this, the player can see how he is improving his game and in what areas he needs improvement. In the Award System, the coaches set goals in the areas of shooting, blocking shots, assists, steals, and rebounds. Any player who reaches or surpasses any or all of these goals in a game receives a gold pin for each of the areas he dominated in that particular game. Therefore, the maximum number or pins that you could receive per game is five. This system en• courages each player to try harder in each aspect of the game. The team's goals for the '79'80 season are to win 70% of its games and gain a berth in the State Tournament. Hardworking team members and coaches, stands [ull of loyal Lancerette fans, and the fact that communication between players and coaches is more open this year than ever before could just be the combination that makes this season a winning one for your Lancerettes. Get out there and show them your spirit!

JV Coach Judy Wade admits that her JV team faces a tough season by meeting five state schools in 13 games, but she optimistically states that they already have improved in every game, have more speed on their side than ever before, and have outrebounded teams with more height. It takes a while for the girls to shed their bad habits from high school, but so Car they've been very receptive to new ideas and skills, she concludes. The goal or the JV's is to some• day be able to move up to play Varsity basketball. Good luck in the '79•'80season!!

LANCERS GAIN "CLASSIC" VICTORIES by Paul Danuser Over the week-end of Nov. 30 Dec. 1, the DMLC cagers hosted the Lancer Classic, which included teams from Northwestern, Concord· ia of St. Paul, and Bethany o[ Mankato. It was an excellent tournament with our Lancers keeping the tourney trophy at borne. Lancer buckets fans couldn't have asked for two better games to enjoy over the week-end. In the opening round, the Lancers played the Northwestern Trojans in a typically hard fought game between the two sister schools. Untypical was the final score, with our Lancers enjoying a 21 point victory, 87-66. Dan Kuehl led DMLC scorers with 27 points. Enthusiasm reigned supreme throughout the entire contest with rooters of both schools voicing their respective opinions. NWC did beat us in kidnapping more cheerleaders than our side, with Bridget Storey faJling victim to the Trojan group. Icing was applied to the cake the following night as our Lancers defeated a very good Bethany squad, who looked awesome in their opening round victory over Concordia the previous evening. After trailing by four points at half.time, the Lancers stayed close to Bethany, never giving up to the expected favorites. Once the scrap• py cagers were able to break the spell, it was all over. After 40 tough minutes o( basketball the scoreboard read: 63-54 in favor of the Lancers. Mark Schultz picked himself up off the floor and brushed off the knee marks in his chest often enough to lead the Lancers with 16 points. Dan Kuehl celebrated bis birthday by adding 15 points to the cause. Jim Unke and Mark Karnitz also enjoyed big days in the win. With the young team the Lancers have this year (no seniors started either game), Coach Dennis Gors• line and the Lancer fans should have much to look forward to for the rest of the season. Congratulations, Lancer cagers!

LANCERS Enjoy Winning Start by Paul Danuser Five games into the 1979-80 basketball season the DMLC Lancers are enjoying the start or what could be one of the most successful season in recent history. Hustle and aggressive defense seem to be the key to the young Lancer cagers as Coach Gorsline is keeping power points for such things as diving for loose balls and taking charging fouls, a specialty of junior Mark Schultz. All or this has resulted in a 4-1 record plus a victory over the Lancer Alumni. Except for the lone loss to a fired-up Mt. Senario, the Lancers have defeated Trinity Bible of Ellensdale, N.D., Northwestern and Bethany in the Lancer Classic, and most recently an 88-54 win over

Slow Beginning by Dave Hosbach "If we can keep our men healthy, we can do a really good job this season." These are the words of Coach Kim TechJin, referring to this year's wrestling team atDMLC. Those words have proven true so far. On November 29, the wrestlers opened at Gustavus, where they were rolled over, 60-0. Only four wrestlers were able to compete for the Lancers, due to injuries. Jim Ross (142 lb. class) was the only man to not get pinned, losing 18-2 and 8-6. The others were all pinned in both rounds. On December 1, the Annual Lancer Classic brought out the

For The

grapplers agam. They showed marked improvement over the last outing. In the second round, against Northwestern College, Dan Malsch (134 lb. class) showed amazing speed by pinning bis man early in the first period. He did the same in the third round against Concordia, St. Paul. Tim Bentz (190 lb. class) was unable to continue in the third period of the second round because his blood circulation was cut off. Bob Becker pinned his man in the second round. Although he was pinned, Tim Lepke (158 lb. class) showed improvement over his last time out. On December 6 the Lancer grap-

out-manned North Central Bible College. Well•tounded scoring has been contributed most by Dan Kuehl, Jim Unke, Mark Karnitz, and Schultz. Rounding out this year's squad are seniors Daryl Weber and Jeff Davis; juniors Randy Koeppel, Dan Kuehl, Mark Schultz, and Jim Unke; sophomores John Hartwig, Scott Herrewig, Mark Karnitz, Nolan MarshaJI , Paul Thiesfeldt, 'l'im Torgerson, and Dale Uhlenbrauck; and freshmen Dale Oechler and Dan Schultz. With the talented starters and good reserves coming off the bench to provide a lot of depth to keep the action flowing, Lancer fans should have a lot to look forward to in this basketbalJ season.

Grapplers piers took on Northwestern - Roseville. They did not fair well this time either, losing 42-21. However, there was the return o( Paul Ryder (167 lb. class), who won by forfeit. Tim Bentz also came back and beat his man on a 9-6 decision. Dan Malsch also pinned his man, again proving himself a good, young wrestler. Although the Lancers have not won a meet yet this season, there have been some bright spots in• dividually as well as team improvement. With men like Malsch, Bentz, and others leading the way, the Lancers can look forward to a very exciting remainder or the season if they can beat all their injuries.

SIXTEEN GRADUATE AT MIDTERM b.v Nancy Becll On January 24, 1980, the Dr. Martin Luther College Mid-Year Graduation service was held at 7:00 p.m. in the chapel-auditorium. The degree of Bachelor of Science in Education was conferred upon sixteen students. The order of vespers was · followed for the service. The scripture reading came from Proverbs 2: 1-9 and urged the graduates to turn to the Lord for the discernment of knowledge. The College Choir, under the direction of Professor James Engel, sang "Glorify the Lord." The class chose as their moUo the verses Proverbs 3:6-7, "In all thy ways acknowledge him , and he shall direct thy paths. Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil." ·The sermon was delivered by President Frey and was based on the first verse. President Frey ur~ed them to pray for the Lord's l!Uidance in rheir entrance into the leaching ministry. He poinled them lo Romans 8: 28 and urged them to cling to this verse when they experienced trials in their work. He also told them they should derive great joy and comfort in the second The closing half of the verse. hymn was the class hymn - Send, 0 Lord, Thy Holy Sp•:!t Liturgist for the service was Dean Lloyd Huebner, Vice Pre:,ident for Student A ffairs; degrees were given to the students by Arthur J.

ST . PAUL CITY BALLE T BRI NG S CUL TURE T O DMLC b)' Kim Sll'ob<'i

Friday, January 18, the studen ts, faculty, and friends of DMLC were privileged to come to a performance

presented by the St. Paul City Ballet. This ballet company is made up of fourteen professional dancers, six men and eight women, directed by Jo Savino. Jo Savino bas become a veteran star of the European ballet stage and is now a teacher and director of the St. Paul City Ballet. From his long career as a dancer, he brings the great tradition of classical ballet to the students be teaches. The performance consisted of five classical num hers: "Cristata," "Gymnopedies," "Illusions and Diversions," "First Dances, " and "Capricio Espagnol." "Cristata" presented classical ballet in its truest form, set to Mauro Giuliani's Con• certo for Guitar and Strings. "GymnopecUes" is set to the beautiful music of Erik Satie. This piece showed the graceful and athletic In movements of the dancers. "Illus.i ons and Diversions," the dancers combined ballet with jazz dance. "First Dances" is a light dance for four people. "Capricio Espagnol" is set to the popular

music of Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakoff. This number showed off their very beautiful costumes. For most of these numbers, Philip Theron, the company's manager, was responsible for the choreography and costume designs. Philip Theron is a native of Johannesburg, South Africe, and is now a U.S. citizen. He came to the U.S. in 1971 to

help Jo Savino open the Classical Ballet Academy of Minnesota an<l help form the company now known as the St. PauJ City Ballet. Earlier in the day the company put on a workshop performance for the students. They explained the various basic movements by word and example. When they were done, they answered our many questions.

Another half a school year is behind us. We've received our grades, good or bad, for the first semester, and the second has been in progress for a few weeks already. However, in the week following exams, as grades were being com• puted, rumors were flying around the dorms. One could hear the horrified whispers of: "One third of the junior class was put on probation or asked to leave!" and "They didn't even give him any warning - they just kicked him out!" and "Hardly any appeals were accepted!" After hearing these statements and getting into a few discussions about them myself, I decided I should talk to Dean Huebner and get the facts. I felt that students needed to hear the truth to eliminate some of the questions and misunderstandings surrounding the issue. First of all, the Dean immediately denied the gossip as just that, saying we college students should know better than to believe everything we hear circulating around the dorm. He remarked that a few concerned students had

THE DMLC

No.4 already talked to him about it, and be readily answered all my questions. What does probation mean to a DMLC student? According to page twenty-six of the College Handbook, a student on probation is one who does not have the minimum cumulative grade point average needed to be in good standing. For the first semester freshlll'an this is 1.450, second semester -1.650; first semester sophomore - 1.800, second semester 1.900; and for all other semesters 2.000. This seems fair to me - a requirement of a C average by the junior year; yet I've heard people complain about the injustice of it all. I must disagree with them; not only does this policy provide the student with ample time to adjust to college life, its demands in academic performance are also more tolerant than other schools. Most other colleges and universities require 2.000 averages of all students, freshmen or seniors. This doesn't mean that DMLC has a lower standard of education, rather ;L shows how fair our school is in . trying to help students reach their goal of becoming teachers. A student on probation must often curtail some of his extracurricular activities; advisors help decide on maybe one or two activities or organizations in which a student may be able to continue. This is not done as some sort of

In our Introduction to Education class, we learn that we take these kinds of subjects to gain a broader We want to be background. "smarter" than our students when they ask us questions that aren't always in the book. We study general subjects to increase our own knowledge and to benefit ourselves and ou.r future students. There is also the argument that if we can't handle the work load now, we won't be able to handle the work load out in the field. Granted, we probably won't have to hand in ten-page reports, do Doctrine papers, take Geography tests, or survive classes, homework. clubs, sports, and band, with a little sleep mixed in between; however, if we can't discipline ourselves now in order to get things done on time, prepare ourselves for class, or plan ou.r schedules realistically, we won't be able to survive in a classroom where everything depends on our organization. And finally, DMLC wants to produce the best teachers possible. As teachers, we will be professionals in a professional world and should be able to conduct ourselves as such. DMLC has set a standard that we must uphold: always give our best and do all to the glory of God.

punishment, but is a method by which a student can acquire more time to devote to his studies. When a . student on probation does not become a student of good standing by the end of the next semester, be is asked to leave. He does have the option of applying again after one year. Does this whole policy of probation and dismissal sound cold and mechanical? Actually, nothing could be further from the truth. When a student is up for dismissal, the matter is not treated lightly. Advisors meet first to discuss the student's attitudes and progress. The faculty as a whole then reviews the student's performance. It is here that individual teachers of the student may speak on his behalf, revealing that the student has been really trying in class, is starting tc improve, or has had a personal problem that could accou_nt for the trouble in school. On the other hand, maybe the teacher has to say thal the student hasn't been exerting any effort and has a very indifferent attitude. The student gets every consideration from the administration. The faculty tries to be fair and gives the student every possible chancP. Aprieals on faculty decisions may also be made and are examined in the same way. A question about required grade point averages can be asked here. To use an extreme - Just because a student gets bad grades in a class

Gan you understa11d this?

If you want to be a Christian teacher, you should. Although this verse is from the Bible and is easily read in English, there is much to learn from Luther's writings on education that would be very helpful to the Lutheran teacher, and which are just as unintelligable as this verse to many people here at DMLC. For this reason and others, I believe that students at DMLC should have better opportunity to learn German and other languages. One af the many reasons sup• porting this belief is that this added knowledge would help to give the teacher a more well-rounded education. The study of a language always results in a heightened awareness of other cultures. It also helps to instill logical thinking pro• cesses which aid in the study of other subjects. Another benefit, though a minor one for most of us here at DMLC, is that knowledge of a foreign language is often a big help in getting a job. True, most of us here are studying to be teachers and so do not have to worry too much about gettir.g a job, but how many of us have even been asked about ou.r knowledge of Ian• guages when applying for a summer job? One thing which applies to those of us who have taken languages in high school is the fact that many people who have oegun taking languages before coming to DMLC would like to continue their studies in this vein. It is very frustrating to take two yeatS of German, and come to the point ot being able to carry on a simple conversation in German, and then be cut off ftom any further study of the language. It's sort of like taking the ftJSt

bite of your supper and then being

sent away from the table. My final reason for adding the study of languages at DMLC deals with the total curriculum. For those concentrating in science, wouldn't it be helpful to have a basic knowledge of Latin when studying the scientific names of things? And those of you who are English C'oncentrates, how often haven't your teachers shown you a word whose meaning has its roots in the Latin? And how many weeks or months haven't the history students spent in ancient Rome? And I am sure that no one could deny the music concentrates a knowledge of German when so much of the rich heritage o[ our church music lies in Germany. I think that we can well see the usefulness of language study here at DMLC. With these reasons before us, we a.re left only to consider how to incorporate such studies into the curriculum. One way would be to have regular fully credited classes meeting during the regular school days. I think it would be best to have them as electives, since not everyone would be able to handle the added work load of language study. The problem with this is finding and paying a professor to take these clas.5es. We all know that there isn't an over abundance of workers in the Lord's Kingdom, especially those qualifie<t to teach languages. Money is also not overly.

abundant. Another solution to this problem would be to start language clubs on campus. Many state universities have language clubs which meet regularly and join in a number of activities. Some of the things these clubs do are to hold con· versation periods, write letters to foreign pen-pals, play foreign language word games, and study the food and culture of the nations which speak the language that they are studying. Having a club of this type might even help in sounding out the need for adding language •classes to the curriculum. I think that these ideas and others should be looked into, and that something should be done concerning languages at DMLC.

MUPPET STYLE b~ Eric Bc•rr:lwrdl

Another DMLC ::inow Carnival has come and gonl'. This year's lheme was "Snow Carnival Muppet Style." The lack of snow brought a chanJ(e in the traditional sculpture contest. Murals for each class were drawn and displayed in the Union. ThP class which most ar• tistically brou!!hl out the theme won the event. With lh is situation solved, "Snow Carnival Muppet Style" got underway. Sunday, Feb. 3, saw the Senior class tackle a tough faculty team in lhe Memorial Gym. In the end the Senior clas.s pulled off the victory. This was followed by lhe official introduction of the Queen candi• dates. They were: Helene Orambow, Cindy Hammer, Lori Landry, Luann Luedtke, Rach el Luetke, Carol Meier, and Jane Zastrow. Wednesday night's activity was the presentation of the class skits. A lvt of work obviously went into the performances lhat night. Every• one enjoyed himself lncorporated in b<-tween the skits was the Queen's ''situation" competition. Some witty and not so witty answers werC' e;iven, and the excitement began to build. Al last, Friday night arrived! The 1979-1980 SOO\\ Carnival Queen was here lo crown the new "Queen of the Muppets." This djdn't happen right away though. First the entertainment, in the form of a vocal group, a band from DMLC, another from NWC, a pianovocal Duet, a comk routine, and a soloist, was heard and enjoyed by all. Much talent obviously exists here on campus, as the entertain• ment displayed almost professional qualities whiJe on stage. Finally, the big moment had arrived. The MC's, Bill Brand and Mike Wilde introduced the candidates and their escorts. Then, the roses were ttanded out. At the end, it was

FIN ANCIAL AID b_y !,aura S leiner Several weeks ago, everyone re• ceived in his mailbox a not.ice concerning the rising cost of tuition for next year. Needless to say, this news was not welcomed even if it was inevitable. With inflation the way it is, many or us find it hard to cope w1Lh costs as they are now. Fortunately, there are many sources of financial aid that can help us squeeze through. Just this past year there has been a tremendous growth in basic l,ast year 183 students grants. received $157,000 but this year 332 students received $300,000. Next year, due to inflation anti changes in law, aid will be available to even. ,nme ·people. • The ma.xi mum amount possi'ble is $1800 or

Professor Ronald L. Shillit~g pre• sented an organ recital on Sl:nday, January 13, in DMLC's chapel aud• itorium. The music consisted of J.S. Bach's "Allein Gott in der Hoh sie Ehr," which is based on the melody "All Glory be to God on High;" Harald Rohlig's "Prelude and Fugue No. 3;" ,Jean Langlais' "Pasticcia;" Helmut Walcha's "Gottes Sohn ist Kommen," con• sisting of the melody "Once He Came in Blessing". Marcel Dupres "Cortege et Litanie;" and Cesar Franck's " Choral No. 3 in A" were also included in the program. Professor Shilling also invited the assembly to join in singing "Partita on St. Anne, " by Paul Manz. The song was written with variations to express musically the different themes of each of the hymn's stanzas.

That evening DMLC basketball fans watched the Lancers tear apart a faltering Pillsbury team, and then adjourned to tbe chapel-auditorium for the film "The Family Plot." Snow Carnival Muppet Style ended Sunday with open dorms from 12:30-4:30 p.m. It was a week of fun and excitemenl. Special thanks is due to all those who in any way worked to make this Carniv:-1 a successful one.

HELPS MANY STUDENTS

one-half of the cost (which includes tuition, room, board, fees, plus $400), whatever is less. Another source of aid is in on and off campus jobs and the work• study program. The work-study program includes jobs with loca: non-profit organizations. Students work in the public library, :n school district oCfices, and in grade school learning disability classes. These jobs are financed mostly by federal funds. DMLC itself gives ont scholarships. Last year $32,000 was given out and this year there was more than $34,000. Money for this comes from gifts from people arqund the synod, whicl· i;i.,ludc busioesses and mission gift$ from

~lementary school children Crom as far as California. Except for the scholarships a.varded to the top five students in each class, all aid is determined by financial need. However, you must f;ll out a few forms which may be obtained by contacting: Professor John E. Oldfield FinanciaJ Aids Officer Dr. Marlin Luther College College Heights New Ulm, f\AN 56073 You might not think you are eligible for aid, yet 364 of our students are receiving federaJ aid and the total number receiving aid is over 500. So don't despair over die rising costs. You may qtnli(y • foi, iid a(te.r all.

On Wednesday, January 16, Dt. Marlin Luther College Campus was privileged to have Dr. Ted Johnson from St. Olaf in Northfield, Minnesota, lecture on the topic of cancer. Dr. Johnson gave a very enlightening and highly interesting talk on a subject of concern to many people here on campus, as was shown by the number of people who attended. Dr. Johnson's first love was immunology, but he has also done a lot of research con• cerning the hundreds of different carcinogens. Dt. Johnson related to us some of his research on marmoset mon· keys and how cancer affects them. At one time he worked with 4000 of them! Dr. Johnson also answered a lot of questions posed by the audience and lectured about the definition of cancer and the causes. One of the things Dr. Johnson stressed was the fact that cancer is a very complex disease. There are hundreds of varieties, some curable and some not. But the important thing is early detection, the earlier,the better, because early detection improves the chances of survival. He also provided us with some interesting facts and statistics such as the occurrence of cancP.r in males and females. Cancer occurs most often in males as lung cancer and secondly as cancer of lhc colon (large intestine). In females 1t occurs most frequently as breast cancer. However, while cancer of the colon was always second lo breast cancer in occurrence, now thal has been replaced by lung cancer. We'v~ come a long \\ay, baby? Many points of interest were brought up, such as the many causes of cancer we are faced wilh in today's society, the effect of our nutrition on our chances of getting cancer, and the problems concerning laetrile. Overall it was a very [ascinating, very educational evening spent with a highly intelligent and caring individual.

On Sunday night, Junua. ~, 20, at 10:30 the fire alarms at Highland and HiJlview Halls wenl off. Many of the girls marched from the dorm grumbling about a fire drill. However, this time it was no fire drill. A piece of still slightly burning paper had been unknowingly thrown into the trash chute, causing a trash fire. The dust and lint from the vacuum cleaner bad been dumped into the chute previously and this caught fire, was carried upward by rising air and set fire to deposits of the lint in the upper parts of the chute. Mrs. Siegler called the fire department and soon four trucks were on the scene. Fortunately the firemen bad little or no fire fighting to do as the fire had already been extinguished. loside the trash chute is a safety sprinkler system which efficiently put the Dre out. As a result, the firemen had only to make sure that everything was under control. The whole affair was over in less than two hours. Fire Chief Louis Lowinske stated that he was pleased to see that

the sprinkler system had worked. -\lso he was pleased to report that Lhe damage from the fire was virtually non-existent. However, he ,vas unhappy to see that all the dorm had not been evacuated and that some bad returned into the building too soon. "The building legally belongs to the fire department from the time the alarm goes off until we leave," stated The fire Chief also Lowinske. voiced his opinion on the lack of seriousness about fire drills on the part of both the students and faculty. He felt that this lax attitude could result in trouble as he stated,

"Somebody could get hurt if it was the real thing." Dean Huebner also felt strongly about the campus's attitude toward fire drills. He also warned against the misuse of fire extinguishers and fire hoses. Reports had come in of students tampering with the fire prevention equipment. Dean Hueb• ner remarked that fire damage due to the inefficiency of equipment (because of misuse) would not be covered by insurance. Recently smoke dectors have been installed in tne dorms. Let us hope that these will be treated with the respect that they are due.

PIANIST GIVES CLINIC AND CONCERT by Miriam Zimmerman DMLC had a visitor on campus from Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter, Minnesota. On February 12, a pianist, John McKay, came to offer some cultural music to the students on campus. Dr. McKay began with a lecture and a piano clinic during the afternoon. Two freshmen, Priscilla Mabke and Nickolas Arndt, were chosen to perform on the piano and demonstrate their ability before Dr. McKay. After they had finished, Dr. McKay critiqued the

execution of these pieces showed the quality of John McKay as a pianist. The audience received him well and appreciated his fine talent for playing the piano. This was one of several ap• pearances that Dr. McKay had been involved in since the beginning of the year. Those present at the clinic and the recital thought it was a worthwhile experience in the field of music. The observers also felt fortunate to have Dr. McKay in their midst here at DMLC.

selections they bad played. He offered suggestions of improvement to the pianists as well as to the audience. Dr. McKay also handed out a paper filled with practicing tips for the conscientious pianist. At 7:30 that evening John McKay performed a recital in the auditorium. His repertoire included two Sonatas, two Rhapsodies, Sonata No. 32 in C minor, ReOets dans I' eau, Poissons d'or, Bar• carolle in F sharp major, and Scherzo in C sharp minor. The

Have you ever found something and then forgotten about it, only to discover later that it was valu• able? That is what happened to Professor Boerneke's teenaged son, Tim. Upon reading in a previous issue aboul the coin collection do· nated by the Pelzls, Tim suddenly remembered two coins he had in his dresser. When they were closely examined, they turned out to be two Luther Memorial coins. The , coins were issued in 1933 at the Chicago World's Fair. One commemorated the fou r hundredth an• niversary of the Refonnation, and the other was struck for the Cen• tury of Progress Exhibition and honored Lutheranism on lhe four hundred and fiftieth anniversary of Luther's birth. Tim decided to contribute the coins to the DMLC library to be added to the coin collection. The story would end there if it wasn't for the strange way the coins came into Tim's possession. On a Sunday afternoon in Spring Valley, Minnesota, Tim and his cousins we-nt to the town dump to loo k for aluminum cans for recycling. In his search, Tim came across an old discarded box, ap• parently still containing something. The box was opened and its conten ts revealed - inside were a few trinkets, a streetcar token from Winona, and the two coins! Not knowing what they were. Tim took them home and forgot about them. The coins, although not very old, are worth about $30 apiece. However, they are of greater value as an addition to the Luther Memorial Collection, and we extend our thanks to Tim Boerneke for his donation.

WHAT WERE YO.U DOING .. DURING -THE SEVENTIES? ,,

by Greg Boll The Seventies - what a decade!! The ten years we just left behind were one of the most problemfilled periods in our nation's history. Perhaps newsman Harry Reasoner hit it on the head when he said they were the "Cynical Seventies." Cynicism - disappointed Idealism - Americans began to grow disillusioned with the government, the economy, and life in general. To be sure, the Seventies weren 't all bad. There was some of both the good and the bad, as can be seen if we let our minds ~ander back a bit. The 70's when ....

America's most powerful chief execuLive went down in unprecedented disgrace. disillusionment over the Vietnam War resulted in the deaths of four students at Kent State. Harry Truman died at 88. E.R.A. found growing support, with leadership coming from such women as Bela Abzug, Glc-ria Steinem, and Betty Frieden. pocket calculators became something everybody could afford. Three Mile Island gave nuclear power development a big setback. Voyager l gave us some clo:.e-up shots of Jupiter on its way out of the solar system. John Travolta discoed into the spotlight in "Saturday Night

John Wayne, the last American cowboy, rode his last horse. the number of unwedded people Jiving together grew by leaps and bounds. Egypt and Israel finally made peace. a madman named Jim Jones called 914 people to a gruesome death in the jungles or Guyana. the Rolling Stones collected moss. Henry Kissinger flew around and tried to keep peace. "Jaws" made us afraid to swim in the ocean. rock stars Elvis Presley, Janis Joplin, and Jimi Hendrix burned themsel-ves out. Gerald Ford pardoned Richard Nixon of all crimes connected with Watergate. the value of the dollar con• tinued to drop. Skylab's fall back to ea.rth had us a little worried.

OPEC taxed America's pocket• book. the alJ-American career girl came to life in Mary Tyler Moore, who went on to produce " Rhoda", "Phyllis", and "Lou Grant. " even the White House cabinet and staff sometimes went to jail.

Chicago's political strongman, Mayor Richard Daley, rued al 74. "me, myself, and I" became the American philosophy. (even more than before) Americans too k time off from their troubles to celebrate a grand and glorious 200th Birthday. Quite the ten years! Most of us have more personal memories of the decade that just ended, but we can never forget those things which had an influence on the world as a whole. The Seventies are over ... make the best of the Eighties! Have a nice decade.

Cheerleaders Deserve a Cheer When asked to write an article about the cheerleaders, I wondered to myself, "What is there to know aboul the cheerleaders?" Well, after talking to them l found out that there was more to cheerleading and being a cheerleader than I realized. To me a cheerleader was a pretty young girl with lots of pep that led the crowd in cheers. She was as much a part of the game as the team and was al ways expected to be there with a smile on her face and supporting her team fullheartedly. But as I found out many hours and nights of long hard work go inlo learning, coordinating, and perfecting the cheers that we see the cheerleaders per• form at each game. The Lancer cheerleading squad practice 3 to 4 nigh ls a week often 1 to 2 hours each night. At these practices, they learn new cheers, moves, steps, and forma• tions. They also have to coordinate each of their individual styles so they perform as a unified squad. Also, they have to work long hours with the pom-pon squad getting routines ready for half time performances. During their practices, the cheerleaders try to learn two new sideline cheers (many of which they write themselves) and one new floor cheer which they can introduce at each home game. Practice, however, is not the only thing that demands the cheerleaders' time. Lt is their job to organize and schedule pep fests, make posters, and other things that

the students lake for granted but is all part of the cheerleaders' job. Travelling to away games with the team also takes up a large part or their time, espedally if the game is 3 or 4 hours away. Many times they do not return to DMLC until 2 or 3 in the morning and just like everyone else have to get up to go t-o 8:00 class. I asked the cheerleaders if they would trade their roles as cheerleaders and tbe demands it has on them and the common consensus was "No!" Tbey all agreed it was worth the sore muscles, hoarse voices, late hours, and long trips just to support the Lancer teams. They enjoy leading the fans in chens to help psyche the players up to another Lancer victory. To them cheerleading is also a good \Vay to get involved and to make friends not only from DMLC but al.s o from various colleges competed against. Also, as one cheerleader said, "We are doing something for the school." The something they are doing is creating school spirit, being examples or representatives of DMLC to other people and supporting the tea.ms full-heartedly so the players know that there are people who appreciate their efforts. Cheerleadlng involves much more than most people realize, but the 6 girls on the DMLC cheerleading squad willingly give of themselves because they love cheerleading and the enjoyment that it gives them. I am sure that all DMLC students will agree that we are lucky to have a fantastic cbeerleading squad.

AT SPORTS Lancer Cagers . Have Ups

and Downs by Par!l D:i,t,,!.er Hold on to your sweat socks, ba~ketball fans. Although The M es• s<'n~c>r bas been idle for awhile, the sam e cannot be said about the Lancer men's basketball team. In the 13 games since our last issue was ripped off the presses, the Lancer cagers have gone 8-5, to put their record at 12-7. To start things off, or Dec. 13, 1979, we hosted the Concordia Comets and defeated them 68-65. Dan Kuehl, Jim Unke, and Mark Karnitz paced the scorers with 2J . 12, and 12 respectively. The squa1.. then travelled to Pillsbury's home gym and lost 67-65. Urke and Daryl Weber led with 20 t,r.1 17 in a losing effort. On to the home of Minnesota Bible College where we posted a 64-56 victory. Kuehl's 20 and Mark Schultz's 14 paced the win. A 64-51 victory over St. Paul Bible followed as Karnitz's 17 and Kuehl 's 12 led a balanced scoring attack. A three game losing streak followed. No. 1 rankE'd (NLCAA) Viterbo bad a strong second haJf to beat the Lancers

70-59. Unke led with 20 before fouling out and Kuehl added 16 . Then followed an embarrassi ng loss to Carleton by a score of 72-46. Kamitz was the only player with double figures as he scored 10 points. Unke's 20 points was one of few bright points as the Lancers lost to Concordia by a score of 63-55. The cagers got back on track with a victory string still in progress. Minnesota Bible fell vie· tim to the Lancers 76-53 as Kuehl's 23 points proved to be the difference. 'I'he cage-rs revenged a humiliating 98-63 whipping by Mt. Senario by beating them in the fril'ndly confines of the Luther ·gym by a score of 66-61. Karnitz and Unke paced the attack with 18 and 17 points. A win over North Central followed by a score of 65-55 with Unke's 20 leading the way. Revenge wasn't attained as the Lancers lost to NWC 59-53, only tbeir second loss in front of the h ome folks as Kuehl's 19 and Karnitz's 14 led the Lancer effort. Pillsbury was the first victim of the recent Lancer upsurge, losing 9173, as an inspired Jeff Davis became a scoring leader with a team-high 19 points. 'I'he century mark was nearly attained as the Lancers defeated St. Paul Bible College 99-67. Kuehl's 20 points led four Lancers to score in double figures. A few statistics for the more wary Lancer basketball fans show Dan Kuehl (a surprise to virtually no one) as the team 's leading scorer with a 15 plus point a·Jerage, Jim Unke leads in rebounding with better than 12 a game. Scott Herre-wig (with two r's) is the leading assist man while Daryl Weber leads in steals and Mark Schultz leads in blocked shots, broken plays and time spent on the floor. Let's continue to follow the Lancers in their few remaining games as they continue their trek to district competition shortly.

JV HAS WINNING SEASON by f'aul Danuser In basketball action not alway,· witnessed by as many Cans as theil varsity teammates, the Lancer Junior Varsity bas participated in a successful season to date. The J. V. 'ers, playing with a squad of eight players, opened their season with a 74-58 victory over foul-plagued North Central Bible. Paul Thiesfeldt and Tim Torgerson put in 17 to lead the Lancers. Northwestern (MN) defeated the young cagers 76-53 as Thiesfeldt's 15 and Dale Oechler's 12 led the losing cause. A 88-63 shellacking of Pillsbury followed as Thiesfeldt and Torgerson again paced the attack with 28 and 26 points respectively. Minnesota BiMe fel l victim oo the hot Lancers 74-45. Thies• •f~ldt again led the scoring cause vi.th 21 and John Hartwig added 12. St. Paul Bible used a strong second half comeback to post a '?8-72 victory. Torgerson and Hartwig took high point effort with 18 and 13. The Lancer J. V. used a comeback of their own in recording a hard fought (almost literally) 68-67 victory over Viterbo. Tor• gerson 's 23 led the way. Carleton ,1gain used the opportunity to outclass an undennanned Lancer squad

74-39. Dale Uhlenbrauck's 12 points led in a losing effort. The Lancers bounced back with a 79-57 victory over Minnesota Bible. Thiesfeldt's 23 and Uhlenbrauck's 19 led the attack. ln a foul ? Lagued gc>me finished wlth : 07 left in the game due to the fact tt.at 6 of the 8 NWC (MN) players fouled out, the Lancers won 73-69. Thiesfeldt's 26 and Oechler's 14 topped the Lancers. A convincing 83-57 victory over Pillsbury followed as Torgerson, Thiesfeldt and Nolan Marshall poured in 20, 16 and 16 points respectively. Dan Schultz's last second basket defeated St. Paul Bible 76-74. Torgerson and Thiesfeldt's 20 and 17 led the way. As the Lancer J. V. 's compiled an 8-3 record, Paul Thiesfeldt leads the club in scoring (17.5), rebound• ing (14) and blocked shots with 10. Torgerson leads in assists, steals, and broken plays. The J . V. 'ers appreciate the following of their fans and we can be assured of a continued successful varsity program in the futurt! with the successful junior varsity team supplying and developing the talent necessary to win.

GRAPPLERS HAMPERED BY INJURIES by Dave H osbach When we last heard frorr, our friends on the mats, Coach Techlin was saying something about "keep • ing the men healthy." Well, it has been true, to a point. While some wrestlers have come back after long injury problems, still others had their success hopes dashed by the injury bug. Dave Scbleef and Paul Ryder are back from before Christmas injuries, but Tim Bentz has been troubled with a nagging shoulder injury. As a team, the Lancers have been doing fairly well considering the injury problem and a couple of teams they faced. On December 11, the matmen took on Concordia in a home match and came away with a 29-27 vic• tory. Bob Becker and Dan Maalscb both pinned their men, while Tim Bentz won by decision, 18-0. Clint Tesch lost a close match, 8·4. Paul Hough and Jim Ross won by for• felt. Decemb<er 15 was a night not to remember, as DMLC travelled to Pillsbury for their match. Because of injuries, etc., only three men wrestled, and all three lost. Final score: Pillsbury 58, Lancers 0. After the holiday break, the Lancers took on Bethany in another away match. Dan Maalsch got his usual pin, but the others weren't quite as lucky, as the wrest· lers lost, 53-12. Paul Ryder re· turned from the injured corps for this match. On January 26, the Lancers had their second match against Pillsbury. In his second outing, Paul Ryder got a 12-5 decision in the only The Lancers individual victory. fell victim again. February 4 was the date for the return match with Concordia. The Lancers won 33-30, as Jim Ross won by forfeit, Paul Ryder won an 8-2 decision, and Tim Bentz won by forfeit. The last. meet to date for the Lancers was the TRCC Conference meet on February 9. The Lance?S did not fare well, as Paul Ryder was the only Lancer to win a match, a 6-3 decision. Tim Bentz's injuries came back again and he lost, because he could not continue his match. In the next issue, we will see the results of the National Touma• ment on February 16, again hosted by DMLC. Let's hope the men can stop their hurts to make a good showing.

------------·Since our last issue, further ctoss country times have been tallied. Our DMLC Men's Cross Countl')i, team bas come in first place nation• ally. Congratulations, guys!

BELLS ARE RINGING ON DM LC STAGE by Greg Boll Bells are really ringing when it comes to this year's drama club musical production. I found that out the other day when l went to bunt up a story for the paper on the play. Director Bill Pekrul gave me a good overview of what looks like an excellent musical. He felt that while there had been a few minor setbacks earlier, progress on the play as a whole is back on schedule. The chorus, he noted, seems to be better than it has been in previous years. A number of others felt that progress on the production was going impressively well. Helping to keep things running smoothly for the play with Bill are Dave Kovach - producer, Steve Grosinski - in charge of st.aging and lighting, Rachel Turany heading up the orcnestra, Kim Metzger - organizing costumes, Cindy Hammer - supervising makeup, and Barb Becker - takinl( care of publicity. The cast itself consists of twenty-nine DMLC students, each doing his best to make the musical a truly successful one. So, just what is this play all about? Well, ..• it's about the life of an aru;wcring-"4?,,;ice s~it.:oboart: operator named Ella Peterson (Lisa Carmichael), who gets involved with some of the subscribers to the answering service, which is owned by a lady named Sue (Carol Meier). The three main people she gets involved with are Jeffery Moss (Randy Cochran), who is a struggling playwrite, a dentist named Dr. Kitchell (John Kanter), who is an aspiring composer, and an actor, Blake Barton (Pete Lieske).

And, we can't forget about the overzealous police inspector, Barnes (Albert Goodenough), who keeps trying to make a name for himself throughout the play. Through all these factors, a chance meeting, and the searching of JeCfery Moss, all ends happily.

If it seems like I left you hanging a bit, it's probably because I did. We wouldn't want to spoil the suspense of the play by giving away any vital infonnation now, would we? There's plenty of action throughout the play. The dancing should be impressive this year - choreographer Rhonda McMahan came and helped the actors and chorus, giving them tips here and there for improving their steps. One of the dance scenes, a street scene, even takes the play into the middle of the auditorium. Another takes it to the subway. Even the sets have action this year. For the first time, triple revolving sets will be used. The set.s are built on three revolving "discs", which can be shifted to a new scene at will. In all, there is a capacity for over nine different scenes, made possible not only by scene rotation, but also by hooks, from wnich new scenes can be draped down over the existing ones. Quite a novel idea. The telephone utilities company gave the drama club a switch· board and quite a number of phones to use for the play. Dr. Albright, .i dcr.tist du\"mtown, :,:a\'e the u.,e of one of his dentist chairs. Many thanks to them for their help. Overall, this play is more of an entertaining one than the last few. It's something you can really sit back and enjoy. A lot of time and effort have been put into the production, and I think it will all pay off. Yes, bells really ~ ringing . . . come and hear them on March 21st, 22nd, and 23rd at 8:00, and enjoy. I know you will.

members of the Doctor Martin Luther College Choir, under the direction of Professor James Engel, will be traveling on their 1980 Spring Tour. The Choir begins its concert tour on Friday, March 28. It will travel by bus to Redeemer Lutheran Church in Schofield, Wisconsin. The rest of the tour sees the choir winding its way through Wisconsin, visiting such churches as Good Shepherd in West Bend, Grace in Oshkosh, and Trinity in Marinette. The tour also includes concerts in Stevensville, Michigan, Zion in Toledo, Ohio, and St. John in Frankenmuth, Michigan. The last day of the tour, April 6, Easter Sunday, will be spent in Milwaukee, and the Choir will return to DMLC the following afternoon. The program of the concert itself is divided into four parts. After pre-concert music by a brass ensemble made up of Choir members, the Choir perfonns pieces presenting the more important events in Chrlst's life through compositions such as Gabriel's "Lift Up Your

Heads," Bender's "Hodie, Christus Natus Est," and " This is the Day," by Gallus. The second part dominates the concert with one of J.S. Bach's six large motets, " Jesus Priceless Treasure." Based on the chorale of the same name, the motets stanzas alternate witn appropriate verses taken from Romans 8. The main emphasis of the motet is living and dying in the Spirit. Dave Niemi, president of the College Choir, gives a presentation in the third part of the concert, describing the activities and purposes of Doctor Martin Luther College. The music of the fourth part of the concert is mainly 20th century and includes such numbers as " Glorify the Lord," by Sweelinck, "Jubilate," by Hovland, and Pinkham 's "How Precious." The unique characteristic of the concert is that the congregation itself will actually participate. In "Son of God, Eternal Savior," the children of the day school or Sunday school will perform with the Choir, and in Hillert's "Festival Canticle," and Manz's "Praise to

the Lord," the congregation sings alternately with the Choir. The Choir's manager, Professor Delmar Brick, has set up a rigorous schedule with a concert every day and two on Sundays, yet the lour is not just bus rides and perform• ances. The members of the Choir are housed and fed at homes of parishioners, giving them a chance to meet new people and witness. The tour also includes activities for the Choir, among them a dinner in Appleton, Wisconsin as guests of AAL and a stop in Greenfield Village in Detroit, Michigan. The College Choir is looking forward to it.s 1980 Spring Tour as a time of Christian Fellowship, as a time to proclaim the Lord in song, and as a time to talk about Dr. Martin Luther College. As Professor Engel states, "It's very important public relations for our school. We include in our tours churches that have never been visited before so they can hear more of our school. For some people, the only connection they have with DMLC is the singing of concerts."

ST. PAUL'S, NEW ULM

by Eric Bernhardt Readers of the Messenger may have been a little curious about a new emblem which appeared to the right of the masthead in this issue of the paper. The emblem is the new seal and identity element for the Messenger. It is in the shape of the shield, just as ancient noble families would have an identifying "coat of arms" painted on their war shields. In the upper left hand corner, one can see the seaJ of Dr. Martin Luther College, from where the Messenger originates. To the right of the college seaJ appears a familiar figure in this area, good old ''Hermann the German", a symbol of the loyalty and pride which went in to the founding of New Ulm, the city where the Minnesota Evangelical Lutheran Synod decided to establish a seminary and college for the purpose of training up devout workers in the Christian Church. In the lower left c orner the silhouette of Old Maine's bell tower points it's way- to the God of all Christendom, as it has since it was built in 1884. Finally, to the rigb t of Old Maine, is the seal of the Wis• coosin Evangelical Lutheran Synod, for whose elementary teaching min· istry we are all training. Also included on the shield are the German words which transl ate to read the goal of th e DMLC Messenger, namely, to "Serve the stu dents, the comm unity, and the church." For the students, w e will strive to deliver real news when it happens. For the community, we exist to give insight into the day-to-day happenings at their College. Finally, for the church, we serve as a means of keeping other friends in touch with the WELS' teacher training college, Dr. Martin Luther College.

BLUEGRASS AND TOM PFAFF: A STUDENT PROFILE Nancy Beck In His divine providence, the Lord has brought us all together on this campus in fulfillment of His purpo.ses. The blessings He has showered on each of us are abundant and clearly evident in the many talents of the student body. There is a great diversity of gifts. Some of these gifts are especially unique and are interesting to note. In this spirit we present a series of articles about some of our own students. If you are walking across campus some day and run into a native of Lacrosse with a banjo in his hand, say hi to Tom Pfaff. Mention the word "bluegrass" to him and you will be engaged in an absolutely fascinating conversation for quite some time. Tom is 24 years old and is a graduate of Luther High School, Onalaska, Wisconsin. He started playing the banjo due to parental initiative when he was in third grade. He kept up with his playing and after high school he was asked to play in a polka band. (One of the members was Rich Pinski, now a DMLC student.) At this point, Tom switched from the four-string dixieland (tenor) banjo he had been using, to the five-string bluegrass The band was a dance banjo. band and quickly moved from being a dixieland band to being a variety band - playing rock, country and bluegrass as well as dixieland. Tom played with the band on and off for four years. The next musical stage for Tom came as a result of his love for bluegrass, and he decided he wanted to play that exclusively. He formed his own band with that in mind and The River City Bluegrass Band by

Tom Pfaff.

was born. Three of the members were friends from high school: Allen Lonnquist plays mandolin, Brian Roraff plays bass and Dave Tom of Schaller plays guitar. course plays banjo and fiddler Sue Hauser completes the group, They play traditional bluegrass and Tom is pleased with that format. Last March they recorded an album in a very limited edition and those sales helped to increase the band's folThey play lowing in LaCrosse. there every weekend now. Tom says it is the best band, musically and in spirit, that he has ever been in and he attributes that to co• operative Christian attitudes. Bluegrass is the primary musical form for Tom. It is pure music and aesthetically pleasing by his

stapdards. He says it is the best form of expression through music for him. It is improvisational and spontaneously creative. As Tom sees it, the emphasis on traditional bluegrass by the band is a type of preservation of a fine form. Blue• grass began in the era of World War II and in the 60's it caught on big and spread. The theme for The Beverly Hillbillies played by Flatt and Scruggs, Dueling Banjos, and the use of Foggy Mountain Breakdown foy the theme for the movie Bonnie and Clyde were all influences on Tom. He considers himselfastudent of bluegrass banjo. He isn't presently a note-reading mus1c1an; he trained by ear or rote, but he is trying to remedy that.

So what brought Mr. Pfaff to DMLC'? He did a lot of teaching in the form of Sunday school classes and banjo and guitar lessons and be always enjoyed it. When his sister Deartna graduated and de• cided to come here, they decided they would do it together. Tom sees his musical career, though enjoyable, as temporary. In his mind, playing in a smoky bar does not seem to be something to do as an adult. He feels bis work here and in the future as a teacher can serve to build up the church. He has found real direction for his life in this course of study. What will Tom do with bis music once he is out teaching? He points to [ Corinthians in reply. The gifts the Lord has given are to be used in building up the church. Leading people in song can be a big part of his teaching. His banjo and guitar skills will be active in his classroom. Tom inserts his own post script to the story and it is one that sums up very well how he feels about his talents and life now. He was perfectly happy before he came here to DMLC. He had an easy day job and played his beloved bluegrass at night. It was all very satisfying. And then he continues to say that he never knew real fulfillment until coming here. He sees his talents in the perspective of their usefulness in building up the church. There is no hesitancy when he says that this is where he should be. A conversation with him readily reveals great Christian joy and true contentment in knowing that God, the giver of all gifts, has brought him to the place where he can u.se his many talents in the best possible way.

@ff by Lourie Millrr What do these girls: Tammy Anschutz, Lygia Behrmann, Jean Boemeke, H~len Grambow, Lynn Knittel , Jenny Long, Luann Luedtke, Elaine McCullough, Jill Nass, Esther Schmelzer, Beth Schibbelhut, Karen Spaude, Kim Thurau, and Barb Zink all have in common'? They are the 1979-1980 Porn Pon Squad. These 14 girls were chosen back in November. They performed for most of this season's basketball games and will perform for next season's football games. Being a pom-pon girl is not easy because it takes many hours of long hard work to perfect their various routines. The squad practices three times a week for about 1 ½ hours each time. They also hold special late night and Saturday morning practices in the gym so they can get used to doing their routine on the large gym floor and not the cramped corners of the Centennial basement. The squad makes up their own halftime routines and also some of the pre-game sideline routines. They divided themselves into four various groups and each of these groups was to choreograpH a rout:ine ·to a

song. A variety of music was heard and performed to as the girls did everything from hard rock to disco to easy listening. They performed to such songs as "Waterloo," "Does Your Mother Know," "Making It," "Pyromania," "The Theme to Ice Castles," and also "Movin Right Along," from the Muppet Movie. It took a lot of time and energy to choreograph steps, movements, hand positions, and all the various little things with the music. When writing the routines they bad to make sure that their movements corresponded and nowed along easily with the music. Besides having to perform at games, the pom-pon squad also took tickets at the basketball games, performed at pep rallies, and this year some of the squad added a new aspect. They are holding a clink for young 4-H girls, teaching them a routine which they can perform at an entertainment night. It also costs the pom-pon girls a large sum of money, as they have to buy their own unifonns which cost approximately $80. They also have to keep in good physical condition and if you were wondering why they were always stret-

ching and exercising before a routine, it is because it is very easy to pull muscles when kicking or doing other movements. This year DMLC was fortunate to have an excellent pom-pon squad which entertained and promoted school spirit. We thank ihell} for all

they did and are looking forward to seeing them next year. Note: Special thanks to the three juniors on the squad who will not be returning after the 1980 football season: Captain Luann Luedtke, Helen Grambow, and Jill Nass.

DMLC is privileged to have as a member of its faculty a woman of renowned authority in the field of teacher education. She is a writer, speaker, college professor, and recognized expert on problems concerning the gifted child. The MPssenger would like to introduce her to you. Her name is Dr. Elaine Bartel, and she is the wife of our music instructor, Professor Fred Bartel. Mrs. Bartel, as she is called by her first graders, is a former (1950) graduate of DMLC. She taught two years after graduation, then took a leave of absence for maternal reasons. During the years she was raising her four children (Paul, 27; Christine, 22; Leanne, 21 - a DMLC student; and Sandra, 16) Mrs. Bartel did substitute teaching and continued her education. In 1965 she received her Ph.D. degree in Teacher Education Crom the University of Wisconsin. Mrs. Bartel has spent the major part of her career teaching graduatelevel courses and directing teachereducation programs at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, but is now on the sta(f at DMLC, teaching fust grade and supervising student teachers at St. Paul's School in New Ulm. She thoroughly en• joys being back with the little children, for it is here that she can combine educational theory with everyday practicality in a meaningful way. Mrs. Bartel bas written numerous articles on teaching and curriculum development, with recent emphasis on the academic problems of gifted and talented children. "One of the major problems of the gifted child," says Mrs. Bartel,

Or. Bartl•!

"is that he may become bored with school activities be has long since outgrown, thus becoming a discipline problem because be is not provided with enough meaningful activities and e-xperiences to keep his curiosity intellectually active. Worse stiU, he may 'tune out' of the classroom interaction, thus wasting the most productive portion of his day." She pointed out further that these children are not usually gifted in all academic areas, and this fact provides a real challenge in supplying them with appropriate programs. Since IQ tests are totally inadequate as a measure of any child's intellectual ability, the gifted child defies iden tification by such standardized measures. Ac• cording to Mrs. Bartel, IQ tests predict school success, but often• times the gifted child is not successful in the school setting, precisely because be can find nothing intellectually challenging within that setting. "The problem with IQ tests," says Mrs. Bartel, 1'is that a child may actually be more intelligent than the person who- wrote a specific test item, and therefore see many alternatives for dealing

with the question. The child's answer may appear to be incorrect, but actually his response may indicate a higher level of intelligence than the item-writer ever antici• pated." A<; a nationally-recognized ex• pert on this subject, Dr. Bartel bas served as a consultant to school systems developing gifted programs and has spoken at numerous con• ferences. In 1977, she spoke at the Second World Conference on Gifted Education in San Francisco. Mrs. Bartel is also responsible for having established at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, the first grad• uate-level program of study in gifted education in the state of Wisconsin. It is Mrs. Bartel's hope that with increased awareness or the current lack of appropriate educational experiences available for these youngsters, pre-service and in-service programs will be planned and de• veloped to help our Lutheran School teachers provide meaningful activities within the regular class· room for these exceptional children. and thus help them use, to the greatest possible degree, the abilities with which God has blessed them.

On March 9, 1980, a celebration was held in the Chapel-Auditorium at 8:00 p.m. This was not a loud, noisy, party-like celebration but was entitled "Crown Him . . . A Choral Celebration of Our Savior's Passion and Resurrection." This was the theme of the 1980 Choral Vespers, as performed by the Treble Choirs, Chapel Choir, and College Chorale. The celebration was preceded by thirty minutes of organ music performed by six DMLC students. The processional was the concertata "Crown Him With Many Crowns," for trumpets, organ, choir, and congregation, by Pelz. The first portion of the celebra• tion was entitled ''Crown Him ... The Lord of Love," and featured songs of our Savior's Passion: "Kyrie Eleison" (Mass Choir) by Backer; "Miserere Mei" ('l'reble Choirs) by Lotti; "Go to Dark Gethsemane" (Chorale) by Sateren; "0 Come and Mourn With Me" (Mass Choir) by Williams; "For God So Loved the World" (Chorale) by Schuetz; and "Thanks to God by the Lord" (Chapel Choir) Schuetz. The second portion of the celebration began with a congregational hymn, "Like the Golden Sun Ascending," and was entitled, "Crown Him .. . The Lord of Life." It set forth the joyous message of our Savior's resurrection from tile dead with these selections: ..This Joyful Eastertide" (Treble Choirs) setting by Beck; "Easter Carol" (Chapel Choir) by Williams; "Christ the Lord is Risen" (Chorale) arranged by Penhorwood; and "Christians, Rejoice" (Mass Choir) by Eccard. The final portion, "Crown Him ... The Lord of All" featured "O Clap Your the selections: Hands" (Chapel Choir) by Rohlig; "Wir Eilen" by Bach and "Jesus, Dearest Jesus" a Norwegian Folk Tune (both by 'l'reble Choirs) and "Beautiful Savior" (Mass Choir) arranged by Christiansen.

MOTHER TALKS 'ENER GY TO DMLC STUDENTS by Miriam Zimmermann

The University of Iowa brought a multi-talented woman to DMLC. Dr. Doris Simonis lectured to a group of students and professors in the campus auditorium on Thurs· day, February 21, 1980. The topic was " Energy Education." Dr. Simonis is a well educated person in more than one field when it comes to science. She has earned a number of degrees, one being her Ph.D. from the University of Iowa where she majored ln Science Education. Her M.A. degree was acquired from Marycrest College in Davenport, Iowa, and her B.S. degree from Ursuline College, Cleveland, Ohio. She majored in chemistry and education. Dr. Simonis, a scientist, teacher, community activity coordinator, and student, has other important roles in her life. She is a mother of eight children who have been raised properly even while Mom was in

school. Dr. Simonis believes her children have benefited irom watching her go back to school and achieving her goals. Dr. Simonis says a very difficult part of being a student came from being a mother at the same time. She wanted to earn ber degrees, but also be fair to her family in being a mother. Doris Simonis is also a poel She has written over 200 poems, some of which have been published. Many of these poems intelligently depict her scientific mind. The lecture revolved around the topic of energy. Dr. Simonis wanted to present some slides to the audience, but they did not arrive. Therefore, without visual aids, the attention of the audience was directed to Dr. Simonis herself. She began by introducing the concept of energy as being basic. Everything in life deals with energy. Our bodies are energy sources for the energy that we use daily. Pet•

roleum and other forms of energy are used throughout the world, but not quite as extravagantly as Americans. We are estimated to use 40 percent ,>f aU the energy in the world. The topic of an e.,ergy shortage was touched on lightly. We were told that the wGrld could run out of energy. For examplP, coal is rather plentiful. Howe,;er, it will last as long as we make it last. The faster we use our energy the The faster it. will disappear. American habit of using energy becomes increasingly worse each year. Our rate of using energy is multiplied each year and it seems as if the rate simply gets larger. There is a limit to energy and we seem to approach it more rapidly each year. Our use of energy will affect us socially. We must learn to harness our habits. Dr. Simonis said even teaching a child in school to turn

off lights and keep doors closed will help. Countries who exporl petroleum are beginning to reaJize its value and may begin to keep il for themselves instead of selling it to us. Or. Simonis pointed out the fact that it is possible to plan our future now. She admitted there isn't one big answer to the whole problem. Little solutions will help to ease the big problem. She finished by saying that the amount of time we have to solve our problem depends on the rate of energy we continue to use. We can choose our future, but we must slow down. A short question and answer period foUowed the lecture. Dr. Simonis really introduced some basic concepts to her listeners. Even if one couldn't understand everything she said, the topic of energy affects us all and we should consciously make an effort to control our bad habits of energy waste.

~igus Jlu by Laurel Hintz and Janel Spiegelberg "Jesus is your Savior." These words are very comforting to bear. They are meant for all people including the hearing impaired. Would you be able to communicate th is message to a bearing impaired person? This is an objective of the Sign Language Club. This club was recently organized by Teri Willenberg. The club started by learning the manual alphabet. ln later meetings the members practiced spelling and reading words. Presently they are working with sentences and in the future they plan to learn the Lord's Prayer and many religious signs. On Saturday, March 1, Mr. William Hughes, the chairman of the Special Ministry Board of the Hearing Impaired, gave a presentation here on campus. Within his presentation, Mr. Hughes stressed the need or being able to communicate with the hearing impaired. He was very pleased to see the interest shown here on campus and encouraged the club members. He pointed out that lhis language is not easy Lo learn. Like other languages, it takes a lot of time and patience. Mr. Hughes brought along various materials to assist the club in their meetings. His enthusiasm ~catâ&#x20AC;˘y inspired the listeners. The club gladly welcomes new members. Hope to see you there on Thursday at 6:00 in room 137.

....

The new Sign Language Club in front of its bulletin board.

hv J,aune Steeby While most of us have our eyes and hearts set on spring and seeing the first robin grace our campus, there are some people who will be sorry to see the snow and cold leave. "Who?" you ask incredously as you stare out your window and gaze at the melting mess. Well, who else but I.he DMLC Ski Club. This organization of students has one aim - you can't beat Minnesota weather except by going to Florida - so why not stay here and make the most of it! This year the Ski Club, made up of John Beyer, President; Leanne Bartel, Vice President; Vicki Zeigler, Secretary; and Jeri Mohr, Treasurer; has accomplished this goal and when the weather co-operated it made three trips to Mankato and one more is in the offing. ''We Âˇve had a really enJoyable time out there," said John, "the Mt. Kato people are very friendly and cooperative and have made this year a good one." One of the trips took 45 people to the slopes, but usually about 20 skiers make their way down the various hills found in Mankato. Prof. Meihack is the advisor for the Ski Club and he often keeps the Club up to date on the latesl weather reports. This year those reports haven't been all that favorable for skiing - but next year is another year and even if no one else may be too excited at the prospect of a lot or snow - you can be ~ure the Ski Club is! (By the way Paul - I was right - they aren't a club looking for Polish penpals!)

BAND HAS A FEW SURPRISES

The band in practice for "Grand Serenade "

b_v /,aura Steinrr When you think of a gymnasium, what generally comes to mind? Most likely it is basketballs, volleyballs. or even swatted badminton birdies. But on Sunday, March 16, it was something quite different. The gymnasium turned cultural as the DMLC bands took to the stage. The concert Band delighted our ears with "The Mel Brooks Silent Movie March " by John Morris, " The Liberty BelJ March" by John Philip Sousa, a very contemporary number called " Joi" by Robert Logan, and " Elsa's Procession to the Cathedral" by Richard Wagner. The definite favorite was "Grand Serenade for an Awful Lot o f

Winds and Percussion" by the unpredictable P.D.Q. Bach. This last number featured seldom used percussion such as gargling, bird calls, and car horns. The Wind Ensemble displayed their talents also. "In Storm and Sunshine" by J.C. Heed, "Divertimento for Band" by Vincent Persichetti, " Somersault" by Hal Smith, "Sketches on a Tudor Psalm" by Fisher Tull, and "The Black Horse Troop" by John Philip Sousa were their numbers. After it was over, the gym returned to its usual routine. The concert had been a refreshing break from the usual routine for those who attended.

A GLANCE WOMEN WRAP-UP '79·' 80

SEASON by Karen Janke The girls' basketball t.eam succeeded in achieving one of the goals it set in the pre-season. They made it to the state tournamenL Playing the no. 1 seeded team, St. Catherine's, didn't seem to bother the Lancerettes in the first half. Although they had a ninepoint deficit at the half, they had outrebounded their opponents and showed good bustle. Their main problem was breaking St. Cath• erine's press. The second half saw too many turnovers and too few field goals. When the team lost Kris Klausnitzer

1llll nmrn' s 1-U-Qlluh to fouls, the team couldn't pull itself together again. They went on to lose the game 73-49. Barb Frey was the team's high scorer with 18 points, Liz Petermann tossed in 14 points and 10 rebounds, and Kris Klausnitzer add· ed 8 points, 11 rebounds, and 6 steals. Coach Leopold remarked that she thqught the team could have had a better season but she wasn't dissatisfied with the one that they had. She said that the group of girls on both the Junior Varsity and the Varsity squads were the most coachable girls she had ever worked with. They were willing to give new ideas a try. Another aspect that the team did well in was learning to overcome the opponent rather than just playing against them. Once they had learned this, the team was able to peak at a key time in the season. Coach Leopold added that next year's team looks very promising due to the young and experienced team. Good job, girls! We're proud of the job you did this year and we're looking forward to an even better season next year!

DMLC

]nunlurh by Tracy Pochop DMLC is ,fortunate enough to have a variety of organizations here on campus for anything one might be interested in. A student can get involved with other people who enjoy the same things he does such as science, art, music, drama or sports. "L" club is an,organization for women here on campus who are involved in interscholastic sports. These women are dedicated to sports and promote it through

their various activities during the year. They recently helped with the grade school basketball tournaments held here on campus. They will be in action again as they organize a volleyball tournament for women from area churches in the Minnesota district. The tournament will be- in our gymnasium all day long on Saturday, March 22. The "L" club also sponsors an AAL track meet for grade school children later in the spring.

Colorguard Takes The Floor by Kim Slmbel Have you ever had any questions about the organization that presents the American flag before our foot· ball and basketball g~es? If so, here are a few insights about the group. This organization is the DMLC Colorguard - Drill Team, undl!r the leadership of Kathy Kuhlmann. There are twenty-one members this year: four juniors - Paula Arndt, Darci Martin, Kathy Kuhlmann, and Daaette Ware; four sophomores Sally Jacobs, Alice Kehren, Doris Kuske, and Mary Leib!; and thirteen freshmen - Marilyn Bleisner, Diane Brostrom, Robin Gust, Debbie Heiderick1 Luann Herarn, Chris Holz, Nancy Kluball, Beth Lauers, dorf, Laurie Miller, Lynn Schmidt,

Deb Schultz, Kim Strobel, and Dixie Traubridge. Besides presenting our nations colors, Colorguard also performed for special occasions such as Homecom ing, Lancer Classic, Christmas, Snow Carnival, and for the tournaments. The practices varied in length depending upon the upcoming event. For special occasions, practices began abou t six weeks ahead of time, whereas a small drill could be polished in two or three practices with everyone's u ndivided attention and participation. Practices during the season were in Centennial in the early evenings usually before chapel or late at night in the gym .

HAS THE PEP BAND

by Beth Lauersdorl What has 25-30 pieces, is m ostly maroon, has two heads, and can "USUally be found insp iring the fans in the gym during a basketball lf you haven't already game? guessed, it is our pep band. The word piece can be understood two ways. It could refer to the members and instruments. It might also stand for the pieces of music that they play. The old music has been mixed in with new numbers like "The Muppet Sh ow" theme, and "Gospel John." Mostly maroon refers to the T-shirts which most of the members

.. have. They have "DMLC has the Pep Band" written on them. These shirts set the members apart as belonging to this special group. The two directors heading the band are Amy Templin and Gary Sonnenberg. They have really done a good job , as anyone who ~ heard the band will teli you. Varsity basketball games weren't the only place to see the pep band. They have been very active. They played for the football games and pep tests too. Their rousing melodies inspired many fans to help cheer for our teams.

AT SPORTS DMLC HOSTS TOURNEYS

by Paul Danuser Over the respective week-ends of February 28-March 1, and Feb• ruary 19, DMLC hosted the NLCAA Northern District Basketball Tournament and the J. V.'s hosted their own tourney. The senior circuit included our own Lancer delegation under Coach Dennis Gorsline, as well as the representatives from Concordia of St. Paul, Pillsbury, Viterbo, and Mt. Senario. Concordia battled Pillsbury in the opener to see who would meet. Viterbo. Pillsbury won the double• overtime thriller by a score of 79-74. Viterbo subsequently burst the Comet's bubble by handing them a 86-58 setback. The following contest pitted our Lancers against the rugged, though not always clean, Fighting Saints of Mt.

The Lancer Cagers make the winning combination. Senario. Poor free throw shooting proved to be the Lancer's downfall, cashing in on only 12 of 29 from

CAGERS END SEASON by Paul Da11user February 18 marked the end of the regular season on a rather nega•

tive note for both of the DMLC men's basketball squads. Prior to that evening, the Lancer cagers travelled to Viterbo's home court and the "76 'ers" varsity squad played unfriendly hosts in defeating us by a score of 78-64. Mark Karnitz was the only Lancer scoring in double figures as he poured in 19 points. Fortune was smiHng a bit more on the Lancer J. V. squad as Paul Thiesfeldt's 28 points and Dale Uhlenbrauck's 12

headed a 64-54 victory. The home court wasn't advantageous as our hoopster's dropped decisions to the Dordt Defenders by scores of 8580 and 86-74 for the varsity and J.V. squads, respectively. Jim Unke had 18 while Daryl Weber poured in 16 points in his regular season finale. Thiesfeldt again paced the J.V.'s with 19 and Tim Torgerson added 16 points. The varsity finished with a 12-9 regular season record, 13-10 overall, while the J. V. ended the regular season at 9-4, ll-4 over all.

WRESTLING SEASON ENDS hy Dave H osbach 1n our last report, we saw that injuries had hampered the production of our Lancers on the mats. But when it came down to the biggest meet of the season, our men rose to meet the challenge. On February 16, at the DMLC gymnasium, the Lancer matmen wrestled in the NLCAA national tournament. Although not many schools came for the tournament, our men showed that they had the stuff to do it. When it was all over, DMLC had come out with one national champion, three second place finishers, and one third place. · Dan Malsch, showing bis usual form, took the championship in the 134 lb. weight class. Jim Ross, coming on as a surprise, took the second place trophy at 142 lbs. Dave Heup got second, but his match was the only one at 118 lbs. because only two wrestlers show

up. He was pinned. Dave Schleef took ~ond at 150 lbs., but the same circumstances prevailed as in Heup's match. Clint Tesch wrestled at 177 lbs. and was pinned in bis first match, but won on a decision in his second, for a third place finish. The only two wrestlers who did not compete for the Lancers were Tim Bentz and Paul Ryder, who were kept out because of injuries. The Lancers Cinish the season with only a 2-9 won-lost mark in dual meets, but their showing at the national tournament proves that they are better than their record shows. The Lancers have a lot to look forward to next year, as there were no .seniors on the squad this year. With experience on their side next year, DMLC fans can look for an exciting 1980-81 wrestling season.

the charity stripe, as Senario grab• bed a 58-56 decision. Mark Schultz led the Lancer cause with 18 ooints. The Lancers rebounded and defeated Pillsbury the following evening, 79-68, to bring home the hardware for third place. Dan Kuehl's 24 points paced four Lan· cers reaching double figures. Tough defense was the key as Mt. Senatio defeated Viterbo for the championship by a score of 42-40, earning the Saints the right to travel to Indiana for the National Tournaments. Also bringing home hardware over the week-end was Mark Schultz, the Lancers' junior guard out of Durand, Michigan, who was selected to the All-Tournament Team for his effor ts. Also named to the team were guard Bruce Valk of Viterbo, forwards Koenen of Viterbo, and Larson of Pillsbury, and center Mudgott from Mt. Senario. The J. V. tournament fielded teams from DMLC, St. Paul Bible, Pillsbury and North Central. Some of the action showed St. Paul Bible a 80-69 winner over Pillsbury; the Lancers winning a squeaker over North Central by a score of 55-54, as Paul Thiesfeldt's 20 points led the way. North Central came back to defeat Pillsbury by a score of 93-86, and then Thiesfeldt's 23 points again paced the squad in leading the Lancers to a M-39 victory in the chruw,i()nship game. No tournament team was named, but any knowledgeable observer wouldn't have to think too hard to know that the Lancer's number 33 would be a main fixture on that squad. These victories should leave the Lancer Cager fans wilb a good feeling of success this past year, and a hope of continued success for the next and ensuing years.

Announcement of A Perfect Day

God, You gave me a perfect day today. I awakened this morning feeling so exhilarated and happy. The sun rose above me m the easter sky, and I knew that the day held much promise. The birds were singing beautiful songs of joy, and I know that my heart was singing with them. Lifeless leaves were falling in endless succession upon the ground. The day was totally peaceful. I went for a walk over to the park. I sat down on the grass, and a feeling of complete contentment and security enveloped me. I thought of everythmg I'd ever done in my life, and I know that You have truly blessed me. I offered a prayer of thanks for all Your loving and caring. I dreamed and thought a bit about things that I wish would happen. Then, a slight breeze blew through the air, and carried my dreams away, and left me my reality. My dreams were gone, but I had the memory of them in my mind. Soon, the sun began to set. and I realized that my perfect day was ending. It was a perfect day, God. because in the midst of worldly confusion, You found m ,• a quiet spot where I could sit and visit with You. My perfect day is past, but the memory of it will live on in my heart forever. Besides, through You, I know many more perfect days will follow. - Nancy Kluball

DP. MARTIN LUTHER COLLEGE, NEW ULM, MN 56073

DMLC HOSTS BAND · FESTIVAL

by Eric Bernhardt Dr. Martin Luther College played host to over 200 select high school instrumentalists when it held the first All-Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS) Massed Band and Jazz Ensemble Festival/Clinic, April 23-27. The head band clinician was Dr. Bencriscutto, director of bands at the University of Minnesota Fred Sturm who was the jazz and low brass clinician for the event, is director of jazz studies at Lawrence University Conservatory of Music in Appleton, Wis. Joining them as instrumental clinicians were Tom Davis, University of Iowa, percus• sion; Tom Giles, Mankato State University, trumpet; Mrs. Tom Giles, Mankato State University, flute; Ann Pesavento, Gustavus Adolphus College, oboe and bassoon; Brian Grivna, Minneapolis, saxophone; Richard Weber, Gustavus Adolphus College, clarinet; and John Berg, Mankato Symphony Orchestra and East High School, French horn. Instrumentalists from 16 of the Synod's 22 hJgh schools and prep schools amved on the New Ulm campus, April 23. Most or thl· c;chools are located in Wisconsir., with two from Minnesota and one each from Nebraska and Arizona. The idea for the large festival/ clinic began as a dream of DMLC band director Prof. Roger Herm"lnson. With careful planning ~nd cooperation from the DMLC faculty and students, the dream becam..! a reality. A large financial grant from the Aid Association for LuLherans Insurance Company of Appleton, Wis., made the event possible, according to Prof. Hermanson. The Festival/Clinic was divided into two parts, Jazz and Band. Thursday was Jazz day for the participating jazz ensembles, as all groups got a chance to perform and attend clinics by Mr. Fred Sturm. Mr. Sturm critiqued each group, giving them suggestions for improvement in various ways, which were then put to use that evening as the Festival/Clinic Jazz Concert

•

was held in the LMU Gymnasium. Eight of our Lutheran High Schools and Academies were represented as the Jazz Bands from Manitowoc, Winnebago, MLPS, Lakeside, St. Croix, Wisco, Luther, and Fox Val• ley presented an impressive concert featuring many well known com• posers in the area of Jazz. The Band portion of the Festival/ Clinic began Friday. Those students who came only for the Jazz portion started back for home. Those who remained were kept very busy auditioning for the select Wind Ensemble, attending various clinics given by well-known clini• cians, practicing with the Festival Band under Dr. Bencriscutto, and getting together with old and new friends in the little spare time they were given. Saturday began bright and early for the Festival participants, who had to get up by 7:30 to catch breakfast. The rest of the day was spent with many of the same activities as Friday, with the exception of a city tour and swimming in New Ulm 's new indoor pool. Participants were entertained by DMLC acts that evening, after which a complete dres.5 rehearsal of Sun• day's Festival Concert was held. Students and visitors who gather• ed at the LMU Gymnasium Sunday at 1:30 p.m. intending to hear some

very fine music were not in the leastdisappointed. Dr. Bencriscutto led the Festival Band in such numbers as Spirit of Our Land, Jazz March , both composed by Dr. Bencriscutto himself, Pas Redouble by Camille Saint-Saens, and Hymn for Band by Brent Heisinger. The Select Wind Ensemble performed three numbers, Twentiana, ananged by Hawley Ades, Lamp of Liberty by Dr. Bencriscutto, and Procession of the Nobles by Nicholas RimskyKot'Sakov. Following the concert, the students began the task of loading everything onto the various busses and vans for the long trek back. By Sunday late afternoon, the students were on their way back home. This Band Festival/Clinic is sure to live long in the memories of those who had the privilege of attending. Students, directors, and clinicians alike all had favorable comments about the Festival. Jerome Kieselhorst, band director at Kettle Morraine Lutheran High School bad these comments, " . . . Tremendous experience . . . a real learning experience for the students and directors aJilte, •.. well worth the cost involved . . . great clinicians." Tim Blauert, a freshman at Nebraska Lutheran High School said the clinicians were great, and it was a real fun learning experience. Rod

Bauer, director of bands at Luther High felt that the addition of clini• cians made this Band Fest very informative. He said that, ''Not only are the kids having fun playing the songs, but they are also learning various techniques that they will be able to apply to their music in the future." Finally, Dr. Bencriscutto, guest conductor and head clinician spoke for the clinicians, "This Festival has been outstand• ing, one of the best of it's type that I have ever been to. The variety of events, such as the Jazz, the Black Music lyceum, and two concert bands gave everyone a chance to participate at his own level. The cameraderie among the various high school band directors was very impressive, I think this is a great tribute in itself to the religious nature of the schools. AlJ in all, I think Professor Hermanson should be congratulated on a very successful venture." As the Band Festival/Clinic '80 moves on into memory and history, this writer would like to say " Well done" to all who in any way helped make this event a possibility. Everyone who participated left with new knowledge and satisfaction that could only come from working under the experts that we had on campus.

£hitnrta1 b) Dawn Fuerstenau I realize it's not a big issue here on campus, but many students feel the same way - that it is important to see the results of our tests as soon as possible. Just as students are responsible and prepare for tests and hand papers in on time, professors usually hand those tests and papers back to the students promptly. However, sometimes there is a problem when tests and papers aren't returned before lhe next assignment. It's frustrating for students not to know how they have done on a test. Tests and papers are products of their work and understanding; it 's important to know how professors evaluate their efforts. It is beneficial for students to know how they stand in a class. llio matter how well they feel they did on a test, the results do not always reveal that optimism. It's advantageous for the student to know if he has a D+ average and must put forth a little more effort or an A and not have to wony. Papers are also better written when students can compare the profes• sor's comments Crom the preceding ones. It's easier for the student to learn from his mistakes when be knows what he did wrong in the first place. Once everyone has taken a test, it c;hould be handed back a.-; soon as pos.sible. Handing tests back the next day is unrealistic, but it's important to get them back to help prepare for the next test. It's not necessary to spend a whole class period going over a test, all ii takes is five or ten minutes at the end of the period to see the grade, look over the mistakes, and ask questions.

"Bells Are Ringing" Rang Its Way to Success by Miriam Zimmermann Another event will go down in DMLC's history as !>eing a success. " Bells are Ringing," this year's mu• sical1 provided excellent entertain• ment for everyone involved. If the name of the musical seemed unfamilar at first, an excellent cast production made it seem like an old time favorite. The cast seemed to actually live their parts when they humorously depicted many of

the scenes. The opposite was also true. Moments of drama were excellent. The characters made a tremendous effort to reach out to the audience especially when they located t.wo prominent streets of the play right in the aisles of our own auditorium. The effort was a complete success. The numerous performances proved the stamina of the cast after many long hours

and weeks of rehearsal. The cast, and all others involved, were rewarded with a fine attend· ance. Musical fans, and all others alike, showed interest by attending the performances. They were rewarded with f1?St rate entertainment. A vole of appreciation seems in order for all those involved in the musical, "Bells are Ringing" atDMLC.

DMLC Acquires A New Library by Laura Siemer During your recent visits to the library have you noticed those three new objects that look like television sets? Have you wondered what they are? They are pa.rt or the Library of Ancient Civillzation which the DMLC library has recently acquired. The Library of Ancient. Civiliza• tion (LAC) is very remarkable. It is made up of 19,000 books, both single and sets, periodicals, and pamphlets. The more than 6,500,000 pages of material cover practically every aspect of American life and literature from colonial times to World War I. The LAC is divided into 25 subject areas including politics and government, reform, education, music, and manners and customs. There are also nine chronological periods. The LAC provides answers to the two biggest problems facing libraries today, cost and space. The older books are, the more expensive they are. If a book is out of print, it is usually unavailable or ex• tremely expensive. The LAC is much more economical. As for space, if you didn't know what you were looking for, you would prob• ably miss it. All of these books are in a cabinet which looks like and is no bigger than your basic

card catalogue. You have to under• stand that these are not ordinary books but 3•by-5 plastic cards with pages of the book printed on them. Each page is ninety times smaller than the original. Each microfiche, as these cards are called, can hold one of the books. These cards are then put into one of the three "television sets" and the picture of the page shows up on the screen. The books in this library contain the best information on Amertcan history. Well-known authorities in the 25 subject areas were given the task of selecting those books which would best aid an undergraduate American college or master's program in a university. Some of the finest sources of American history are available only on this system because these books just aren't available as books and can only be photographed. The library also has a Biblioguide Index. It is extremely useful for finding information that makes up only parts of books. Not only will this index give the book in which some information can be found but also the pa.r ticular pages. It 1s not everyday that a library gets 19,000 books of such value. This library within a library will be a tremendous aid for learning and research.

by Eric Bernhardt St. Paul 's Church echoed with fervent songs of praise Sunday, April 20, as the DMLC College Choir presented their 1980 Homecoming Concert. The concert was very well received, and served as a perfect rap•up to an equally successful Easter Tour. The Choir, under the baton of Professor James Engel presented such numbers as Giovanni Gabrieli's "Lift Up Your Heads," J.S. Bach's motet on "Jesu Priceless Treasure," and two motets by the 20th century composer Daniel Pinkham, based on Psalms 36:7-9, and 30:11,12. This tour and Homecoming Con• cert w&S the last one for Professor Engel. He has asked to be relieved of his duties as director of lhe College Choir so he can tackle numerous other projects to which he has committed himself. Profes• sor Roger Hermanson, College Chorale director, will be replacing Professor Engel starting next school tenn. As stated earlier, the 1980 Easter Tour was a successful one for the College Choir. For some or the churches visited, they were the first choir from any Synod Colleges to present a concert for their congregation. A bad case of nu knocked out around 1/3 of the Choir, bow• ever every concert went on as scheduled. The sightseeing trips were interesting, and included a visit (and impromptu concert) al Holy Hill Shrine in Hubertus, Wis-

consin, dinner and a tour at the AAL home office, and a stop at the Museum of Science and Industry and the Greenfield Village/Henry Ford Museum complex. All in all, Professor Brick had an edifying schedule or concerts and tours set up. It was by Gods grace and to His eternal glory that the tour and Homecoming concert were com· pleted successfully. The College Choir still isn't done, however, as they have several weekend tours lined up for May. To God be all praise and glory!

Entertainment Bonanza by Sa11cy Klt,ball

This year's Entertainment Bonanza was held on Saturday evening, April 19. The MC's, Peggy Priem and Steven Janke, did a fine job between acts and kept the show moving right along. As the curtains parted, Children's Theatre presentt>d a very imaginative skit. ~ext, Mark DeGarmo performed music that he had composed on the piano. The third act was Dr. Bopp featuring Carrie Mel• cher, .Marie Occhler, Jane Zastrow, Dale Oppennann, Gene Pfeifer, Mike Pfeifer, and Randy Ristow. They were well received by the audience as they rocked and bopped their way back to the Fifties. Next, a group of freshman girls did movements in front of strobe lights to the song "Sunset People." Diane Brostrom sang two solos with the accompaniament of Barb Bjugan at the piano. They were then Joined by Nancy Kluball when she played the piano and sang a solo with harmony provided by Diane and Barb. Also, Anne Demsien and Anne Pre~ sang and tap danced to the song " Me and My Shadow." They were accompanied by Dave Koester on the piano. Dave also accompanied the last act - "The Back Forties." Finally, Peggy and Steve shared something with the audience that holds much meaning in our hearts now and will in the future also. They showed slides of children with the song "You Are So Beautiful To Me". Entertainment Bonanza 1980 was a very enjoyable evening.

by Kimberly Strobel The wish to travel to exciting. faraway places is m everyone of us. Some may have the chance to travel to Europe and see places such as the British Isles. Howe,·er, for those of us who may never get the chance to do this, we were gi,·en the next best thing: to go to the slide lecture presented by Professor Morton Schroeder. On April 10, 1980, Professor Schroeder presented his slide lecture on "The Highways and Byways of the British Isles." His lecture wa~ divided into three main parts: people, scenery, and church art. He began by showing us pictures of different people at work. First, there was a picture of a barrister dressed in the tranext, he had a ditional outfit; picture or a young boy going to school, and he, too. was dressed differently from what we are used to. Next, he spoke on the scenery. He had many beautiful pictu~ of the landscapes, the ocean and falls, and the road signs. The Schroeders explored the Long Barrow, a prehistoric burial place. The bones have all been taken out so there is no need to worry, about seeing a skeleton. They also had the experience or standing next to a fog horn when the wind was blowing force seven which is strong considering that the British go on a scale of one to ten. Many pictures that were taken in November and December looked as if the scenes could have been in early fall. Flowers blooming even that late in the year surprise us in the U.S. because our weather is not as mild or moderate.

Stuhents uJrnuel uJn iEnglnnh The last part of the lecture centered on church art and architecture. Professor Schroeder showed us many beautiful pictures of the different stained glassed windows, of the statues made out of • marble. wood and stone, and of the different parts of the various Cathedrals. He also spoke about the Salzbury choir which is made

up of men and young boys. The sixteen boys in this choir sound JUSt like angels, according to Pro• fe~or Schroeder. Even though we could not see Great Britain firsthand, we got a good idea or what the Schroeders saw and did during their stay in the British Isles.

Susan Vellenga Gives Recital by Ch eryl R oth

DMLC is blessed with pianists of all types - from the not•so• talented solo fingerists struggling through Class Piano to the highly advanced Beethoven types, those whose fingers seem to dance with precision up and down the L-O-N-G keyboard. The Messenger would like to introduce you to one of the more talented pianists on cam• pus. Her name is Susan VeUenga. Susan chose to display her talent Sunday, April 13 , by giving a piano recital in our campus auditorium. Susan, currently a student under Mrs. Ames AndeTSOn, played a sel• ection of pieces Crom Bach's "French Suite No. VI in E Major"

and Beethoven's "Sonata Op. 10 No. 1 in C Minor." She also played selections from Schumann's " Papillons, Op. 2," Debussy's " Deux Arabesques," and "Toccata" by Poulenc. Susan , a resident of New Ulm and a DMLC sophomore, bas been preparing Cor this recital since September. Sunday night's recital was the second solo performance she has given. Susan, who is currently teaching piano when not in school, plans on concentrating in music. The Mes• senger would just like to say, " Good job, Susan, and good luck in your future musical endeavors."

JUUE AND COMPANY: A STUDENT PROFILE by Nancy Bech As a part of the Messenger's continuing series of student profiles, we would Jjke to introduce a very special and gifted lady. Her talents are many and her joy and Christian love is her present to everyone she meets. We happily introduce Miss Julie Kalbus. How do you spend your Satur• day mornings? Well, Julie has found a more productive habit than sleeping for that part of the week. She is an employee of the Park and Recreation Department of New Ulm and teaches arts and crafts to children from the ages of three to nine. Back in September Julie saw a notice posted on the bulletin board of the AC describing the job she now holds. She got the job and her first class was held on Saturday, Sept.ember 22. Classes are held from 9:00-10:00 and 10:30-11:30. For the first two weeks there were four children in the first session and six in the second. However, her third week was another story and one that Julie relates with the glee that can come only now that it is past history. Children just kept coming for the first session. And coming. And coming. Eighty-three of them came! Julie in desperation called Criends Kathy Kudek and Mike Pfeifer to come to her rescue. She

Julie Kalbus remembers telling Kathy to go through all her drawers and bring anything at all that might somehow be useful. The second session fortunately brought only thirteen children. Things have calmed down since then and the wint.er average was twenty-five children. Mike and Kathy have become regulars. Julie is quit.e visibly pleased to have their help and company in the project. The class has included all types of projects under Julie's direction. They have made mobiles, burlap

wall hangings, things with paper and crayon, junk art, and just about anything imaginable. Julie's weekend job has had tremendous and special benefits to her. She says this helps her see the goal of t.eaching closer at hand. There is great reward in the work she does and she feels a sense of accomplishment in the response and reaction of the children. She has gleaned things that will aid her in her future calling. She has learned patience and how to handle child· ren with love and yet with discipline. Her view of them has deep• ened and she has discovered that teaching is not just mental develop· ment, but it entails physical and emotional development as well. She has found that getting involved is inherent in the t.eaching process; teaching is not just presenting a lesson plan. Julie says the work is "very enjoyable." Maybe that doesn't sound particularly profound but in its simplicity it 1s. Julie has been blessed greatly by our Lord and the use of her gifts is a special part of her life. She shares not only the lesson, but her love of life, surely a reflection of her faith, is bound to be contagious. May God grant that we all use our talents in whatever way we can and always share our love in response to all He has done for us!

b.v Dawn Fuerstenau Have you ever given blood when the Bloodmobile has visited DMLC? I've been a successful donor seven times now and recommend to everyone that they try and give a little bit of themselves, but I didn't always {eel that way. I remember the first time I swallowed the lump in my throat and gave blood .... The first thing I had to do was have my address, phone, and social security numbers typed up. That made me rather leery from the start; if they needed that information to be able to notify the next of kin, I didn't want to have anything to do with it. Nevertheless, I decided to be brave and pro· ceeded to the next table. It was here that I had my temperature taken, and it surprisingly didn't hurt at all. The nurse also checked my blood pressure and heart rate, and al though my heart was in my mouth, I apparent• ly passed because she told me to have a seat at the next table. The nurse at this table asked me questions to make sure I was healthy enough to give my blood to someone else. I considered telling her I was 8 months and 29 days pregnant with malaria and had recently

had open heart surgery, but l figured she'd be able Lo tell I didn't have malaria. Then, while. I wasn't looking, this nurse (who I'm sure was a sadist there for the fun of it} jabbed me with a needle. When I came to, I asked her weakly if they had gotten out a whole pint. The nurse shook her head, apparently they had only needed a dropperful Crom my finger to test my blood. They wanted me to stop right there, but I stubbornly decided to push on. I was then given this gross little plastic bag that was soon going to be filled with my blood and was led by the ann (making it impossible to get away) to a long table. I sat down on the table and a nurse put a large whjte cloth with a big red cross on it over my skirt and legs. She told me it was to cover my legs as I lay on the table, but I knew it was there to pull over my head in case I dido 't make it. The nurse looked over both arms to find which bad the bett.er vein through which to draw the blood. She chose my dght arm, and that made me happy because I knew the arm would be useless for a couple of days and then I wouldn't have

to take my Geography test the next day. My arm was scrubbed with about a million different kinds of alcohol and iodine until it turned an ugly shade of yellow. As my life passed before my eyes, the nurse put in the needle. I felt a little prick and sting and was pre• paring for the first onslaught of agony when the nurse put a rubber sponge into my hand and told me to squeeze it and that in about ten minutes I'd be done. I couldn't believe it! There was no pain, no spurting blood, and I was still conscious and breathing! I couldn't see my little bag fill up, but the girl across from me looked like an old pro, and it was pretty cool watching hers. It seemed that in no time at all the needle was out, my arm elevated, (I guess so all the blood could get back into my body) and I was led away for the best part cookies and juice in the Round Table. Our thanks to the Red Cross, student helpers, and 178 donors (40 of them for the first time!) who made the April 22, 1980 Blood Drive a success!

A GLANCE Women's Softball Has Impressive Record by Dave

Ebert

The 1980 edition or the DMLC women's softball team is currently sporting a successful 9-3 record overall, and a ve:y impressive 9-1 record against other schools in their own division. DMLC has been seeded as the number two team in the Division III state tournament at Roseville, Minnesota, on May 2nd and 3rd. According to Coach Barb Leopold, Augsburg seems to be the team to beat as they are seeded first in the tourney. This year's team is led by seven Rise returning letterwinners: Rabenberg, Kay Sbambeau, Laurie Landry, Beth Lohmiller, Cheryl Moore, Karen Bauer, and Wendy Ristow. However, the leading hitter on the team has been sophomore Beth Kemnitz. Coach Leopold is hoping her team can continue its successful season by doing well in the state tournament. With all or the talent and the experience on the Lancerette squad, they have an excellent chance to do well.

TENNIS ANYONE?

•

by Dave Ebert Ace you having a tough time finding a tennis court to play on after school? Well, if you are, you will have to wait until the week• ends to play, because this year's tennis team is practicing hard in hopes of achieving some goals that they have set forth for this season. First of all, they would like to keep their unblemished record going in dual matches. The DMLC netters have not lost a dual match since April 27, 1978. Also, they would like to capture the TRCC Con• ference Cliampionsbip which eluded them last year. With six letterwinners returning,

Coach Dennis Gorsline has a good nucleus with which to work. Seniors Mark Meihack. Tim Plath, and Bill Otto, junior John Ko• lander, and sophomores Jon Hall and John Hartwig add the necessary experience to a good team. Other bright prospects, which add a great deal of deoth to the team, include Paul Wilde, John Ashenmacher, Jim Hahn, Anne Rank, and Laurie Hintz. Coach Gorsline feels that this year's team is very well balanced with any one or the top six single players being capable of beating each other. Coach also stated that this year's schedule might be

tougher, but with all of the experience, balance, and depth on his team, he was looking forward to a very successful season. A week into the season shows the DMLC netters with a record or three wins and zero losses. Wilmar and Northwestern (MN) invaded the DMLC campus only to succumb to the Lancer's power 5-4 and 7-2 respectively. The netters then tra· veled to St. Paul Bible and ham· mered them 7-2. Although the season has started out successfully, the DMLC tennis team will still keep practicing hard to reach their ultimate itoals.

AT SPORTS BEFORE OPENING DAY by Paul Danuser How many of us are tired of reading the first baseball article of the year, in which the opening line is always, "Play Ball!"? Aside from a lack of imagination and originality, there is nothing wrong with this exciting introduction. Let's try it a different way this year. "Are there any questions by way of review? Yes, I did say all those nice things about the baseball team. I feel we'll go as far as the pitching takes us." Those could be the words of the DMLC baseball mentor, Marv Meihack. It is fairly safe to count on a very succes.c;ful season with the pitching with which this year's team is blessed. With left-handed hurlers Mark Tacke, Paul Kaiser and Dan ~adson along with Larry Sellnow, the "Great Right Hope," leading the mound corps, it often won't take many runs to win most of their contest.s. But for some unforseen reason, should the pitching fail to hold up once or twice, the Lancer batsmen should have no problems scoring many runs. Leading hitters are likely to include Don Eickmeyer, Scott Herrewig, Dave Essmann , Tom Hering, Dan Madson, Jeff Kurbis and many others. By the way, all of the pitchers are more than able to help their own cause with their bats, and can also play other positions in the field, when they 're not frustrating opposing batters. The Lancers also don't appear to hurt themselves defensively, either. Experienced players will hold down most of the positions, but several freshmen, including Dave Hartwig, Enc Ziel, Bryan Von Deylen and others will be vying for those starting spots. along with several very capable sophomores and seniors. Before we get too far along in the season, I would like to state my unbiased opinions of this sport and team and apologize to those I left out of this article unwillingly and unintentionally. I don't suspect my mvolvement should deter my covering of this team. But if il does, well. Play Ball !

"Does your new boyfriend play any sports, Dear?"

. ..,..

by Paul Danuser Early in the season, the Lancer baseball team doesn't seem to be on the brink of disappointing any prognastications (predictions) of a successful season. A strong 6-0 record so far point to that. After weather caused cancellations of doubleheaders with St. Paul Bible and Mt. Senario, DMLC opened with a sweep or North Central by scores or 18-0 and 13-3. Paul Kaiser hurled the opener and Mark Tacke and Dan Madson combined forces in the night-cap . Scott Herrewig went 5-6 for both games and was followed by Madson's three hits while Don Eickmeyer added three and Kaiser; Paul Thiesfeldt and Jeff Kurbis each collected a pair of safeties. Dave Essmann and Dale Oechler made sparkling defensive plays. The Lancers followed suit with another doubleheader sweep, this time victimizing St. Paul Bible. Tacke hurled a no-hitter in the first game while striking out 11, winning 12-0. He helped his own cause by collecting three hits and was also helped in that department by Herrewig's two, Madson 's three and Tom Hering's two hits. Herrewig and Madson each ripped home runs in the contest. In the second game, won by a score of 13-6, Madson, Bryan Von Oeylcn and Larry Sellnow combined for the win. Von Deyle!l pitched four hitless innings of relief. Herrewig collected four hits and Jon Woldt added a couple

Lancers

Open With Victories more. Tbiesfeldt smashed a round tripper for two runs in the first inning. The Lancers then hosted rival NWC Roseville for the home opener and swept by scores of 10-4 and 9-3. In th!! opener, Kaiser was backed by Eickmeyer, Tacke and Hering each collecting two hits apiece. In the second game, Tacke stifled the Eagle hitters with his offspeed stuff, striking out 10, and was supported by Essmann 's four hits and Herrewig, Madson and Sellnow each contributing two. After six games, Tacke leads the mound crew with a 3-0 record and 25 strike outs in 17 innings, and Kaiser is 2-0 with 20 K's in 12 mmngs. The team is hitting at a blistering .372 clip, led by Herrewig's .667, Madson's .476 and Tacke's .428. No relief appears to be in sight for the opposing teams as the Lan• cers begin to get into mid-season form and head for the TRCC crown.

GOLF TEAM SWINGS INTO ACTION by Dave Ebert What will 1980 have in store for the DMLC men's golf team? Well, if they had any say in it, they would like it to continue right on from last year's successful season. The Lancers are the defending TRCC Conference Champions and return four letterwLDDers from last year's team. Senior Randy Pahl. juniors Randy Koeppel and Paul Edmunson, along with sophomore Tim Torgerson figure prominently In Coach Roberl Krueger's plans this year. In addition, Edmunson

I f

and Torgerson were named to the TRCC All-Conference team last year. To go along with this experience, Coach Krueger adds depth to his team as fourteen men are out for the sport. With all of this experience and depth, Coach Krueger feels his team is fired up to defend its conference championship and have a great season. Luther fans had better keep their eyes on the Lancer golf team, because they will be worth watch· ing in 1980!

Throughout our years at D.M.L.C., our class has seen many changes. The swimming pool and McDonald's have opened up while Eibner's Restaurant has closed down. The Academy has left and Minnesota Valley Lutheran High School has come into being. Old faces have left the faculty and new ones have taken their place. Our class has gained new people as others have decided not to return. Finally, each of

us in the Senior class has changed. For us, there is, however, one thing that has never changed. This is the most important thing in our lives. Each of us had, have, and will continue to have God with us. Throughout our years at D.M.L.C., God has comforted us in times of trouble, encouraged us in times of frustration, and admonished us in times of weakness. He will continue to

do these things as we leave O.M.L.C. and enter the teaching ministry, For you, too, things will continue to change. Structures will change, people will change, and ideas and attitudes will change. But God will never change. God will be with you through your entire lives comforting you, encouraging you, and admonishing you.

May God bless you richly in your remaining years at D.M.L.C. And, no matter how things in your lives may change, whether you graduate from D.M.L.C. or not, remember that God is and always will be with you. Yours in Christ. Duane Ohland Senior Class Pr esident

PRESIDENT FREY RETIRES '

ences that you see in the D.M.L.C. of today that weren't present when you came?

by Greg Boll President Conrad Frey will be retiring from his position at the end of the present school year, after serving since 1966 as head of this school. The following interview with him was held on May 15. 1980:

Pres. Frey: Size of the student body

Greg: What are your thoughts as you stand on the verge of retirement?

Pres. Frey: Well, there are always mixed feelings, I think, with that. rm looking forward to getting out of administration. I've been in it for better than thirty years, and I think it's time for somebody younger to take over.

Greg: Are there any comments you would have on your many years in the preaching ministry in general?

Pres. Frey: Well, actually. I was only in the parish ministry about ten years. I got out of the theological seminary in 1938. It was during the Depression, and there weren't too many calls, so I was sent over to Michigan Lutheran Seminary as coach, instructor, and dormitory supervisor. I was there two years. Then I was in sort of a rural congregation outside of Bay City, Michigan, for about thrtt and a half years. and then Detroit for seven years during the second World War. Then I came back to Saginaw as head of the school in 1950. I guess in the parish ministry, I missed preaching and adult work when I got out of it.

enjoyable years. In fact, the fourteen years rve been here have gone so fast that it's almost unbelievable I've been here that long. It's been very interesting work, and there·ve been a lot of changes.

Greg: What do you feel was the single highlight of your years as head of D.M.LC.? Pres. Frey: I don't think there's really any single highlight that I can think of. I think they all run together. I think getting the resources that we needed here both in buildings and other types

Greg: What about your years at D.M.L.C.?

of resources was sort of a highpoint, be;cause we, ccrtab~,. as .: ::ol!cgc couldn't have done what the synod expected of us unless we had those resources, and I think we had to prove to the synod too that we could produce the teachers here if we had the resources and the staff to do it with. I guess we·ve demonstrated that.

Pres. Frey: They've been thoroughly

Greg: What are some of the differ-

and faculty is one thing. The faculty is at least doubled in thal time. or course. there are always other changes that are dictated by any kind of growth -- there are things that you have to do that you didn't have to do before. We didn't have. for instance, the administrative setup at that time. Most of the offices that we have here now came into existence primarily because of the growth in student body and faculty.

Greg: What an! your plans now that you are retiring? Pres. Frey: WelL I still will be involved in some things -- not here on campus • I'll be involved with some special synodical committees. and T'm going to be involved in some more. I understand I have some commitments here in the community -- I'm serving on the charter commission, on the safety council. and rm on the planning committee for the Sioux Valley Hospital I'm also serving as civil defense director, so I think that'll keep me from drying up and blowing away. So, I don t mtend to JUSC sit an,u11d. I fed good, and as long as I've got my health, I want to be involved in something •- otherwise I probably won't be able to stand it. I probably would like to do a little bit of pleasure travelling - I don't know if we'll be able to get around to that or not Greg: ls there anything you'd like to

see changed or added at D.M.L.C. in the future?

Pres. Frey: I wouldn't wantto see any changes in the faculty or administrative staff. I think we have an outstanding faculty, and a very cooperative faculty. I guess the only changes I would like to see is an addition or annex to the library, and a replacement for West Hall somewhere down the pike. Otherwise, I really don' t see any changes that are necessary. I think that the curriculum has to be under constant study. because there are curricular changes that need to be made from time to time to meet whatever the needs are of the synod. We have to keep an eye on that. We have to look both ways -- not only what we're doing here, but what the effect is out in the field. The changes are dictated by the needs of the synod, and we have to meet those needs. Greg: ls there anything else you'd like to add, or any closing remarks you'd like to make regarding your years with us?

Pres. Frey: Only to say that I've enjoyed them. Speaking for all the students of Dr. Martin Luther College, President Frey I want to thank you for the dedication you have shown as you carried out your duties for the past fourteen years. Your guidance has truly helped this college to grow and prosper as it prepares workers for the Lord's Kingdom.

RETIREMENT PLANS FOR GLENDE by Greg Boll Professor Arthur Glende will be retiring from the D.M.LC. faculty at the close of this school year, after fifteen years of service.

people on the sidewalk, and there's always a smile, always a greeting.

Prof. Glende: Well, rve thought about these thoughts myself, and for the entire year rve sort of struggled with these thoughts - it's kind of a mixed feeling. I've loved every minute of serving the Lord, and if I had to do the whole thing over, fd do it again. There comes a time when you feel you ought to let younger folk take over. There's kind of a mixed reaction, knowing that others are going on in the field, and now you're stepping out, and you feel a little lonely at first.

Greg: What do you feel was the single highlight of your years of service at D.M.LC.?

Greg: Do you have have any comments on your many years in the teaching ministry in general?

.... .....

Prof. Glende: Well, I would say that I can only remember the good things

Gtj

that happened - surely there were problems along the way, but these problems that do occur, well, you just solve them and they disappear, and the only thing I remember in my mind is the wonderful kind of blessings that the Lord permitted on my work undeserved blessings.

Prof. Glende: I've always remembered the close family ties my class had when I was a student, and even though our student body has increased maybe seven or eight times, rve found this doseness still exists ... we were always kind of afraid that the larger we would become, the more impersonal we would become. I've sensed that as far as the faculty is concerned, we're one family, and one is always concerned with another. I think one of the greatest assets we have up here is the students. I've been so impressed that you meet these

Prof. Glende: Well, I think fd sort of have to put it in general terms -- I guess the hi~tis thatif rve helped somebody along the way in the educational process -- I'm thinking now, for instance, of student teaching - if I've been of any help, if rve given ideas, if rve given advice, if, let's say, when we were finished, I could feel that I was a blessing, that would be the highlight. Of course, there were many other individual highlights, such as the fortieth anniversary or my installation.

Greg: What

are some of the differences that you see in the D.M.LC. of today that weren' t present when you came?

Prof. Glende: Some or the changes that have taken place that are gradual would be, well, one of them would be the off-campus teaching program. Betore that time, St Paul's was the institution where w e did all our stu(continued on p. 3)

£bitnrta1 by Laurie Steeby Recently a committee was set up to review the marriage policy at DMLC. As the policy stands now, no undergraduate attending our college may be married In other words, anyone wishing to be married must wait until his high school class was graduated from this institution. However, this may be changed sometime in the future. A committee consisting of two students and several Faculty members has prepared this resolution: Dr. Martin Luther College does not discriminate or provide preferential arrangements on the basis of marital status in the administration of its admission policies, scholarship and loan programs. student teaching, athletics, and other college-administered programs. 'v1arried students are responsible for making their own off-campus housing arrangements. Students contemplating marriage are asked to report their plans to the Dean of Students who will counsel them about their privileges and responsibilities as married students and will notify the faculty and the appropriate offices of changes in students marital status. This resolution will first be set before the Board of Control for their approval. Then it will be placed before the Synod's Commission on Higher Education and, finally, before the Synod Convention next year.

Pegora the Witch'' Delights All I

by Miriam Zimmermann One probably thought that only the ages of medievil history could have tales about witches, kings, queens, princesses, castle guards, and wizards. That's right, but one can find these characters even in the 1980's. That's just what they were characters. The Children's Theater of DMLC presented their annual play, " Pegora the Witch," which de.lighted young and old alike. Members of the cast, who are preparing to be teachers, presented this play before an atJdience that teachers will get to know best children. On May 8 and 9, two thousand children invaded the campus to be entertained by a witch named Pegora and the other members of the cast. Pegora was basically a good witch. However, she had to prove her wickedness to Mother Martacloy, the head witch, and her attendants by capturing seven princesses. Then she wouldn't have to give up her broom and she could continue to be a witch. The King and Queen were horrified when they discovered that one by one their daughters was being kidnapped The King offered one of his children ac; a wife to the person that could stop Pegora. A mathematician and three wizards tried unsuccessfully to foil Pegora's plan. The King'.s Jester succeeded in stopping Pegora by disguising himself as a princess. As a result he won the hand

of Princess Sunday in marriage. Pegora found a new place in life as the cook in the castle. Anyone near the auditorium during a performance could hear children laughing and screaming. They screamed so the last princess wouldn't be round. The children • laughed when the Jester was on stage. The enthusiasm of the children was dearly evident by their participation. They also enjoyed the chance to meet the characters at the end of the play when the cast met them at the door to shake their hands. The students of OMLC as well as professors had a chance to revert back to their childhood when the play was performed for its final showing on Friday night It was evident by the crowd reaction that the cast was respected for its fine production. Students and professors la~hed and shouted as they sal back to become an audience of grade school children. Some of the main people involved in the play were the directors, Liz Petermann and Paul Hough. Corrine Schardin and Bonita Schlenker were the producers. The two coordinat ors were Jane Schlenvogt and Shirleen Maertz. The advjsor from the faculty was Professor Francis Schubkegel. The long hours or practice and rehearsing were well rewarded wl;len children. who saw the play, produced smiles. The cast. and everyone involved, were happy at the success of "Pegora the Witch'".

Some or the other changes that have taken place, naturally, are the new library, Highland Hall . . . enrollment has increased, video taping and other technological devices are used more, there are many more organizations, and, or course. there are all the studies done as far as self-evaluation is concerned, heading towards accreditation.

Greg: What are your retirement

to suppose that if I were in administration. I might say, well. this is what rd like to do. or that's what I'd like to do. I think one of the things that I would like to, maybe, see happen, is to have a little bit more, better open communication between decisions that might be made. and the notifying of students of what is happening. Possibly, maybe even giving students more of a voice in the planning that is taking place would be good.

plans?

Greg: Are there any closing remarks

Prof. Glende: I've been asked that

you'd like to make regarding your years with us?

question quite a rew times. Presently. I would just like to enjoy retirement, and there are so many things that 1 have to do that I never got to do, because or being busy during the summer either with summer school, or conducting seminars, and during the year, l was gone much of the time with off-campus supervision and the like. So, I guess the first thing is just to kind of relax and be flexible, and to catch up with all the little things that have to be done. I guess rn play it by ear as to whatever opens up where I feel I can still contribute to upbuilding the Lord's kingdom.

Greg: Is there anything you'd like to see changed or added at D.M.L.C. in the future?

Prof. Glende: I suppose since rm not in administration, there aren't these lofty things that I have in advance planning. No, I haven't any particular things that I can point to --

Prof. Glende: Oh, they've been most pleasant. and if the rest of my life is as enjoyable as the years here have been, well. I guess it's been a glorious ministry, and a person will have to admit with Jacob of old that I'm not worthy or any of the love, any of the grace, any of the mercy that the Lord has showered upon me. That's why I say, I have mixed feelings at the time of retirement, because. to step out of the work which you have known, and to leave the student body and the members of the faculty, well, it can be a little shock reaction to overcome, because you love the people. and you're going to miss them all. On behalf of the entire student body of Dr. Martin Luther College. I thank you Professor Glende, for giving so untiringly of yourself to further the growth of the Kingdom by the training of future teachers.

ALL THAT JAZZ by Beth Lauersdorf You may not have realized it folks, but there are two more bands at DMLC than meets the eye, and just a short while ago they gave their debut. Just who am I talking about 1 Why, none other than the DMLC Jazz Ensemble and Dixieland Combo, which gave their concert on May 14. The Jazz. Band, comprised of all the jazz loving members of the regular bands and then some, made a big hit with everyone by playmg music for all ages. F'or the older generation there was "Soft As Velvet," "Moonlight Seranade," and "Cashmere." For the people who craved a little more excitement there was "Straight Ahead

by la.urce Steeby I think I can say with total confidence that the 1980 Spring Banquet was a complete success and one that was truly enjoyed by all who attended. May 17 may not have been one of the nicest days as rar as the weather went, but the events which ended the day will make it a day to remember. But before I go any further, I'd just like to thank all those people who worked so hard on it. Their work was evident in every part or the Banquet and those efforts should not and did not go unnoticed. Some people may say it is totally impossible to convert a college gymnasium into Paris, France, but with a little imagination anything is possible and I think the Spring Banquet did a very good job of making us all feel like we were on the banks of the Seine River. The evening started with a wonderful dinner prepared by Mr . Tague and his crew. The chicken kiev, twice baked potatoes, and my favorite, the a$pargus tips were a1I delicious. Then came the awards with a tribute to retiring President Conrad Frey, the announcement of the senior athletes of the year, the introduction of the new Collegiate Council orficer s. and finally the singing of the Alma Mater. The senior athletes of the year

Professor Hermanson relinquished his baton for a tuba and led the seven member band through the foot stompin' halls or American music. Among their numbers were "Shortnin• Bread," "Basin Street Blues," and "Under the Double Eagle." All in all the concert was a total success. and the returning band members are already looking forward to next year, and another concert.

were really no surprise. Kathy "Foz" Hirsch was the woman athlete and James "Cowboy" Hahn was the male athlete. The new Collegiate Council officers are: Diane Schramm. treasurer; Betsy Geisert, secretary; Dave Ebert, vice president; and Randy Cochran. president. Special thanks to all the former olficers for a job well done! After a brief intermission, our trip through Paris began under the delightful guidance or our hosts Jan Nelson and Dave Covach. The visit included lots of good entertainment and fun from the Vic Tannet Health Spa to sword fighting among the tables. Special highlights included a song by Jenny Ray and the Outdoor Concert. Perhaps the best spot in the evening however was the fashion show. What is Paris without fashion? And our fashionable professors' wives were excellent displays of some pretty impressive clothes! Who could forget Mrs. Boehlke's test tube earring, or Mrs. Meihack's impression of the "real world"! Dean Haar and Miss Wade were also participants and brought on loads of laughter with their respective outfits. Overall it was an evening of talent and total enjoyment. Thanks to all who made it so. ~l

SCIENCE AND THE BIBLE by Greg Boll Should science be used to prove the Bible? Perhaps this is a question many of us have pondered at one time or another. We may be tempted to say that there is no clear-cut answer to this question. Sometimes we can, ,;ometimes we can't -- right? Wrong! It is true, there are times when science does seem to indicate the Bible is true. Some new discovery may once again seem to show that the scriptures are true. And yet, science never intends for such to occur. The science of today is grounded on the theory of evolution. Everything it sees and discovers is observed in the light of this theory. When it "accidentally" discovers something compatible with scripture, it either ignores that discovey or. more commonly. justifies it on the basis of its evolutionistic outlook. For this "simple" reason. we can say that no, science should not be used to prove the Bible. It is based on human philosophy and th~ belief that man comes from lower life forms, and is merely another link in the everimproving progression of creatures. Before we look at the nef!alive side of the above question, perhaps it would be profitable to look at the positive. As I mentioned above, some of the discoveries science has made through the years have seemed to conf1Ttn certain things in the Holy Scriptures. One big area where this has been the case is that of a universal flood. As Christians, we know the Flood occurred because God says so. For us that is sufficient. Science wholly rejects this because it doesn't measure up to its philosophy of human reason. All things in science must be able to be proved on the basis of concrete evidence. The supernatura~ miracles, wondrous one-time events -- all these are dismissed as foolishness by science. U one refuses to accept that miracles can occur. he cannot believe the Scriptures, which are based on God's wisdom, not , man's. Science has made numerous discoveries which may support the f1ood. It ignores these. After all, science has already assumed the Flood hasn't occurred. The flood has considerable historical evidence to back it up. Many early civilizations had flood epics and poems. While their details are not always compatible to the Biblical account, the overall story-line is surprisingly close." We see that as more than coincidence. The most , prominent of these epics is, no doubt, the Gilgamesh Epic of the Babylonians. The overall similarities between it and the Bible are remarkable. The science of today doesn't believe in basing itself on stories. however. rt wants real. solid evidence! So it apparently has found real, solid evidence for the Flood. That still isn't enough. On the basis of evolution, the Aoocl. as we know it, just doesn't make sense. Large piles of bones and plant fossils swept together by water have been found. Preserved mammoths have been unearthed in the Arctic regions. These and numerous other findings all serve to illustrate a most notable facl The plants and animals died in large numbers and were buried almost instantly. Can scientists logically explain this on the basis of evolution? They may by to, butreally, no, theycan'L Yet. as not ed before. they have discovered things which do seem to "jive" with the scriptures.

Does all thlS mean, then. contrary to what I said before, that science can be used to prove the Bible? By no means - the basic reason being, once again, that science never intends to prove the Bible. When it does so, it doesn't look on it as proof, but justifies it by evolution. It is perhaps wise, at this point, to take a brief look at the theory of evolution, since it does serve as the cornerstone of all modem science. This will also help to illustrate why science is unsuitable to use for Bible proof. Evolution is a rather broad term. It is commonly divided into organic and inorganic evolution. Organic evolution says that life originated from nonliving material and that all living things come from lower life forms. Man, it is said, is the next step up from the apes. Inor ganic evolution teaches that the universe and the solar system we live in developed by chance over billions of years. Some say it was a big bang which got things going. Others say the gases condensed and hardened into solid matter. Still others feel that as the galaxies recede from each other, more galaxies are created spontaneously to keep uniform density in universe. These beliefs taint the entire outlook of science. For example, when genetics is written about, it is always from an evolutionary standpoint. When astronomy is discussed, it is always done with the evolutionary theories in view. When plants are studied, Lhey are looked on as the results of evolution and mutation. Evolution has corrupted man's whole philosophy of the world and himself. Natural man believes himself to be the captain of his own ship. For him, God is nothing -- God is dead. Is it any wonder that he seeks to fill the void created by the ''lack of a god?'. For some. science is a god. With it, they feel, they can do and explain almost anything. Whal they can't, they ignore. Professor Paul Boehlke of D.M.L.C. notes that: "Science is a creative activity of man. The idea that science can furnish objective truth (even when done well) is a common misconception." This statement brings out the fact that all too many people look on scientific theories and hypotheses as gospel truth. What a scientist says is often taken for fact. If we just look at the past, we can see how science is ever changing..lt is not. as some may choose to look on it. a static. stable thing. Even those statements of science which we call laws may one day be proven false. Can we ever directly prove gravity exists? Can we really prove air exists? Can we really prove any law as absolute? Actually, when we speak of Lhe above, we are speaking in relative terms. Maybe someday when we are in heaven, God will have to tell us none of the above existed.Wouldn't that be a surprise! Perhaps we are too bound by science now to think objectively of such things as air and gravity. We are by nature subjective creatures, whether we choose to admit it or not. It is sometimes hard even for Christians not to believe something is true when, for years, it has been commonly accepted. While scientists may adhere to evolution as a factual happening, they have problems with explaining some things. No theory has yet been proposed which will satisfactorily account for tbe solar system's origin by t otally natural means. No scientist has successfully explained yet how

non-living material could suddenly become living. It seems unlikely that such a highly-developed, complicated things as a cell could come by chance from dead matter. The geological timetable has troubles too. Nowhere do we find a smooth progression of upward-evolving creatures in the rock layers. There are always loopholes in the timetable. Sometimes the layers are even reversed from what they should be according to evolution. These failures of evolution are often simply ignored. What about mutations? Most scientists feel this is how evolution is really accomplished. And yet, all evidence indicates that most mutations are harmfuJ to an organism. Many are even fatal. Can something destructive be constructive? One occasionally hears some fellow believer say something about how much more believable creation is than evolution. Is it? As Christians, we are indeed biased. True, our bias is the correct one, but what about people who are neutral? Say there is someone who has no feelings one way or other as to which is more correct creation or evolution. Which will he choose? Evolution! Why? Because man by nature searches for logic. Evolution is more logical by man's reason than is creation. Creation involves the supernatural. To truly believe creation requires faith worked by the Holy Ghost. Evolution asks for faith of a different sort. rt asks for faith in man's reason -- something, unfortunatety, in which most people are willing to trust So what does all or this prove? It proves that science is really a shaky thing. It is based on the weak foundation of evolution. Evolution is

constantly changing. New ideas are being added and old ones shoved aside all the time. The old Darwinian theory of evolution is no longer held to be true by the science world. What is believed about the evolutionary process today may someday be thrown on the scrap heap. How different this is from Scripture, which, of itself, never changes. The Bible's message is the same today as it was a thousand years ago. What a blessing! Yes. evolution is shaky business. It stands on man's reason. What person will ever say that he is perfect and incapable of error? And yet, for some reason. these same people who will admit they are far from perfect will hold man's reason up as infallible, as absolute truth. We know man to be a finite creation with limited knowledge and reasoning capabilities. For this clear reason, we cannot accept the discoveries of science which may seem to confirm something in scripture. because they are based on a philosophy of man's reason. and are explained U1ereby. They were not intended to be discoveries which proved the Bible, and should not, therefore, be taken by Christians to be that, even if they may seem to agree. Science indeed serves a useful function in our wor ld today. None of us would want to be without the benefits it provides us in many areas. Nevertheless, it is a human activity. with human ideas. It should not be used on an equal basis with the Scriptures. The Bible is truth of itself. It doesn't need scientific support. It stands solidly on its own two feet, needing no crutches or walking aids to help it. It is God's wisdom. May we trust unceasingly in that wisdom, never relying on our own!

KARNA TESSMER AND FRIEND: A STUDENT PROFILE â&#x20AC;˘ by Nancy Beck It probably is not often that a father's hopes become a daughter's reality, but this is precisely what happened to Kama Tessmer. Kama comes from a family of five girls and her father always hoped that one of them would be a harpist. He has seen those hopes fullilled in Kama and she has found her own special joy as well. The way in which Karna got started on the harp contiillls a certain element of chance. When her father saw an ad in the paper that harp classes were being started. Kama was in the seventh grade. Her older sisters were too old to begin lessons and her younger sister Katie did not have enough piano background. And so. by process of elimmat1on. l<'"lma was the one given thE> opportunity. She has been talcing lessons ever since. Karna began takin~ lessons from Francis Miller. Mrs. Miller is a former member of the Minneapolis Symphony and is now on the faculties of the University of WL-;consin, I.aCrosse, and St. Olaf. She is slowly working herself into retirement and so some of her duties fall on her daughter, Lynn Aspnes. Lynn is Karna"s current teacher and a fine performer in her own rii,:ht. She is on the faculty of Augsburg College and has played for the Chanhassen and Guthrie Theaters and sometimes performs with the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra. It is obvious that Kama has had some hiHh caliber instruction. She speaks fondly of both women and has great respect for them and U1eir talents. The practice schedule Karna has is one that changes frequently. Ideally, she would like to practice every day for two or three hours. She can manage this in the summer. but while

â&#x20AC;˘ hear the "schmaltzy" stereotyped

in school it is less often. She gets her practices in spurts during the school year. On April 20 of this year. Kama presented a recital on the DMLC campus. Joining her was Mary Behning, a long-time friend who began in the same harp dass with Karna Sht: and Mary have played together in Greater Twin aties Youth Symphonic.-;. They presented three duels together in this rt:'rital and a fourth number in which they were joined by Professor James Engel on harpsichord and senior Beth Fischer on flute. Karna also presented a solo.

It was a very spedal occasion for her. She began preparing the music in midOctober. The choice of music was a careful blending of traditional and newer compositions. Kama says that literature available for harp is very similar that for piano. Although she has been in group recital s ever since the beginning of her instrumental study, this was the first she has done more or less alone. Karna has some interesting observations and personal experiences concerning her harp playing. She says that in performances people always expect to

SWANTZ BECOMES SUPER HERO

IN BAT LAB by Al Dohm Bat Lab? What le; it? Is it one of Professor Boehlke's play on words? Is it one of Professor Wandersee's super heroes? No. it is the long time dream or Professor Ralph Swantz. Bat Lab stands for Biological Audio-Tutorial Laboratory. Professor Swantz first presented his bat lab plan to the school board in 1974 but it was vetoed due to lack of funds. However, he kept working at it, reVJSing some minor ideas In 1974 his patience was rewarded. ML came through with a grant paving the way for the Bat Lab. Work on it look a full year. The old science room was remodeled with

idea of what a harp should do: those runs across the strings from one end of the instrument to the other. Playing the instrument has not been a bed of roses by any means The fingertips on Karna's hands are extremely calloused and sometimes the buildup IS so great she must me them down. Her roommate was in for a bit or a surprise the first time she saw Karna do this! The other problem with her fingers comes when she has not been practicing regularly and then begins again; her fingers get quite blistered. How does Karna perceive her ability and what will she do with it in the future? She finds great joy in playing her unique instrument. She sees her ability as a gift from the Father and one that she feels she should use and develop in praise and gtory to Him. Some of the people who were in her first class have gone on to solely study the instrument There is a great deal about their attitudes that disturbs Kama. To her it seems they have made the harp their god. It is not that way for her In humility and thankfulness Karna discusses the opportumtyshe has had to furtherthe ability she knows is from our Lord. She very definitely wants to make the harp a viable and often-used part of her classroom. She IS currently giving lessons to two children and hopes that next year there will be more. Her gratefulness for this special talent is easily discerned and her joy at having received it and using it is equally evident. May the Lord grant that we all use our abilities, what ever they may be. in praise and honor to our Father wbo is the giver of all gifts.

pegboard compartments on the tables. f.ach compartment has a cassette tape player with a head set. a microviewer, and all the materials necessary for the labs. The lab instructions are recorded with pauses for work time. Students also use a standard time clock to record their lab time. Total cost of the Bat Lab is about $6000, which doesn't account for the time and efforts of the professors and school carpenters. Student reaction to it is very encouraging. Almost all students like the Bat Lab, even those who dislike Science in the first place. It is a PSI

SYStem which lets each students work at his or her own rate. Another advantage is that a student can easily make up a Bat Lab at any time the lab is open. Also, each student can retake a lab test up to two times to get a passing grade. Only on the third try does a below 80',\, grade enter the grade book. Bat Lab is keyed to help U1e students understand and do well The only student complaint is that the tapes are too slow. Next year Professor Swantz plans to offer slow, medium, and long tapes. All in all, in the ways that Hat Lab is helping students. it is a Sl,lper hero.

by Miriam Zimmermann It was a spiritually refreshing event The Freshmen Women's Treble Choir, the newest choir on DMLC's campus, took many songs ol praise to South Dakota to worship with three different congregations. Forty-two members of the choir and Mrs. Schubkegel, the directress. took an overrnght trip on May l Oand 11 to som<' of the smaller congregations in the Synod. The hospitality that these people demonstrated was tremendous as the choir was housed and fed. Another degree or hospitality was shown as these congregations eagerly accepted the chance to worship with the choir Small congregations don't often get visitors; therefore. they were happy to be hosts and the choir was given the distinct honor of singing before fellow Christians Our Savior's, South Shore; St. John's, Summit; and St. Peter's, Goodwin were the three churches at which the choir sang. Pastor Werner is the pastor of all three of the churches. The trip was a success in a fun way and most certainly in a spiritual manner. The members of the Freshmen Women's Treble Choir were happy for the chance to woTShip God with fellow Christians.

Women's Track Has New Beginning by Laurie Steeby For the first time in DMLC history, the women of our campus took part in the great sport of track as a team. About 25 women participated in this first team effort, and although they never did come away with a meet victory, the team members bad a great time and many of them met or surpassed their own personal goals.

year's team were newcomers to track, but there was such a good show of sportsmanship and enthusiasm that everyone had a great time. So next spring when you want to get in shape or improve yourself in any way, why not come out for track? It's a good way to help yourself and to help your school in a new team experience.

The closest thing to a victory was the meet with Southwest State where the team lost by only 2 points. Next year, however, they are looking for even more women to join the ranks of their track team. Here is an opportunity to show yourself you can do something, even if you've never been in an interscholastic sport before. Many of this

AT SPORTS Meihack' s Maroon Machine Captures Conference Crown by Paul Danuser It wasn't exactly a day prescribed for a couple of baseball games, but May 17 is a day that will long be remembered by Coach Meiback and the DMLC squad On that day, the Lancer baseball squad won the lRCC championship and to add icing to the cake, set a school record by winning 18 games. By finishing witb a record of 18-4, the 1980 edition eclipsed the 1977 mark of 17 wins, although that team had a better won-loss mark of 17-l. Seniors Mark Tacke, Tom Hering and Larry Sellnow were members of both record setting squads. In looking back and comparing the two teams, two time co-captain Hering says "I've been real fortunate to be a member of both teams. To say which team was better would be tough to do. l believe this year's team had more depth, but both had very tough pitching staffs and good hitters throughout the lineup. The ·77 team compiled a number of better stats in a few areas such as team batting average and earned run average, but this year's team had the

capability of doing the same... Hering and Sellnow·s cumulative record over their four years was 57-15, a .792 winning percentage. Tacke's teams compiled 56 wins against 22 losses, a .717 clip. Coach Meihack maintained all season long that "we have good ballplayers and if we play our best, we will win our share." Coach Meihack tried to keep this season's success and players' abilities in perspective by reminding his players to thank the Lord for the gifts He has given us, "Some of us can hit better than others, some can catch better than others, and some can throw better than others." To this present time, the Lancer mentor is still trying to decide which category Kirby fits in. Another r ecord was eclipsed as Scott Herrewig collected 31 hits, breaking the old school mark ol 27. In so doing. Herrewig led the team with a .449 batting average. Jeff Kurbis followed with a .414 mark. The team as a whole bit .291. Pitching leader~ were Dan Madson at 5-1, Paul Kaiser and Mark Tacke both at 4-1, Bryan

Von Deylen at 3-0 and Larry Sellnow at 2-1. Sellnow had the top ERA at 0.78, while the entire staff finished at an excellent 2.16 mark. This year's seniors who will be graduating from the team areSellnow, Tacke, Hering, Dave Essmann, Don Eickmeyer, Dave Bartelt, and Roger Kramp. As a member of this team, I can honestly say that these men will be missed not only from a player's point or view, but also because of the friendships that have resulted from these two years. The memories of these guys will last long past the number of at bats I had, or even the winning season. The future looks bright for the Lancers though_, with Kaiser and Kurbis returning as seniors to lead the team aided bv Herrewig, Joo Woldt, Paul Thiesfeldt ( this year's HR leader with two) and freshman with a lot of potential include Dale Oechler and Dave Oechler and Dave Hartwig. As always, Lancer pride won't allow other lRCC competitors to look past up to claim the crown.

They ended their successful season with a dual match record of 12-2. In addition, the Lancers captured the TRCC Conference Championship. Winning championships for the Lancers were John Kolander. Jon Hall, and lim Plath who won the 3rd, 4th,' and 5th singles titles respectively. Also, the No. 2 doubles team of Hall and Kolander took first place honors. Placing second were Marc Meihack ( No. 1 singles), Paul Wilde (No. 2 singles), Bill Otto (No. 6 singles). Meihack and Wilde (No. 1 doubles), and Plath and John Ashenmacher (No. 3 doubles). Letterwinners on this year's team include: Meihack, Plath, Otto, Jim Hahn, Hall, Kolander, Wilde, and Ashenmacher. Coach Gorsline was pleased with the team's performance and attitude. He said they always put forth their utmost in every match. Four seniors from the team who have led the Lancers to a match record of 33• l O in the last four years will graduate. Although they will be sorely missed, Coach Gorsline is counting on the fine tennis tradition at DMLC to continue in future years.

"Nice swing! But don't throw yourself off balance."

Save Those Cans

The D.ML.C. Science Club made quite a haul this year by taking in the accumulation of alwninum cans from the past two years to be recycled. Members of the dub spent a good share of one evening stomping away to flatten out cans and get them ready. When it was all over, they received $33.50 for over 145 pounds of aluminum. Nice work! I'd like to take this opportunity to urge all students and faculty members to save their alummum cans and

foil for science club. It is indeed a worthy cause to help conserve our natural resources by reusing them -why not do your part? Students. you have a golden opportunity to collect cans this summer and bring them back with you next fall. Remember, when checking for aluminum, it is not attracted by a magnet and is easily crushed. Any time you have the chance, just bring them up to the science office in the Academic Center. Your efforts will be greatly appreciated!
