EDITORIAL

TRINITY: A NOVEL OF IRELAND by Leon Uris

consists of the three factious elements in

Northern Ireland: the Englishruling aristocracy, the Scots planted in Ireland by the English, and finally, the native born Irish themselves. In this last category is the main character and object of the author's heart, Conor Larkin. Conor is the son of an Irish peasant, descended from a long line of

Fenians (patriots). The reader sees Conor grow from boyhood to adulthood and death as a member of the Irish Republican Brotherhood. the forerunner of the Irish Republican Army.This unusual novel draws the reader inside the life of a young revolutionary torn between his love for his church. his family, and his country. The Northern Irish situation is not a pleasant issue, and Trinity is not pleasant reading. However, 1think this is a book that everyone should read. Uris has written about something more universal than the Irish problem. He has written about the courageous and often pathetic existence of a people who have tried to regain their freedom for over eight hundred years, turning. over the, fight to each successive

generation and highlighting the current milieuof thought that equates freedom with dignity. In the Foreward to the book, Uris acknowledged thanks to unnamed, real-life Irish patriots whom he interviewed and on whom he based his characters. Another writer and very prominent

political figure who deals with the Irish problem in everyday life is Bernadette Devlin.Like Uris's Larkin character, Devlin grew up in the village of Ballyutogue. in the County Londonderry, Northern Ireland. Her book is called Price Of MySoul, and it was written and published in 1969.In that same year, at the age of 21, Devlinwas elected to Parliament

as a representative

of Northern

Ireland. Her book is an attempt to explain the Irish problem within the context 01 an autobiography. In reference to the title of the book she writes: "Price Of My Soul refers not to the price for which I would be prepared to sell out, but rather to the price we all must pay in life to preserve

our own

integrity.To gain that which is worth having it may be necessary to lose everything else." Devlin was the youngest

BOOK REVIEW

Trinity deals with the endless theme of Ireland's attempt to free itself from England. The native-born Irish author told the story from the side of the Irish patriots, or rebels. Published in 1976. Trinity is a non-fiction novel that spans Ireland's history from the potato famine years of the 1840's through the Easter Risingof 1916. The "Trinity" referred to in the title

a socialist

by Miriam Zimmermann Editor-in-Chief Allow me to establish a purpose for the Messenger. After viewing the campus in my mind's eye, I decided that the physical buildings were indeed involved, but certainly the purpose penetrates much deeper. I thought about the type of people who are in some way connected to the campus whether they be students, faculty, or people employed in some other way. The activities of the campus. both sacred and secular, are involved in a meaning for the Messenger. The basketball games, tennis tournaments, entertainment nights, Christmas concerts, dorm parties, and any other event characteristic to DMLC must be included in a purpose. What kind of purpose can that be? It sounds rather broad. All those activities are written about in the Messenger. They make the content of the newspaper what it is. Their real involvement, however, lies in the answer to the question why. Why are these activities reported on and published for distribution to students and faculty? Why are there humorous articles, sports write ups, interviews, contests, book reviews, children's columns, poems, pictures, Round Table Ads, and trivia columns in the Messenger? Why are there articles about opening services, recitals, Homecoming, student teachers, and the bloodmobile? The Messenger exists to enrich our Christian campus. As students, faculty, and others employed at DMLC,we spend quite a bit of time on campus. Many of us live here and share many experiences. The Messenger, in its reporting, would like to remind the campus of what has happened and what will be happening. However, as the Messenger reports, it would also like to enrich. Maybe an eight year old child from the children's column can bring a special feeling to your heart. Perhaps a football score can bring a triumphant smile when you remember your dedicated efforts. That recital may stir admiration for a wellused talent. Maybe the prize you win from the Mystery Picture will help to fill an empty stomach. Maybe receiving the Messenger is your first mail all month. Perhaps the article on that sacred service will remind you of a precious truth. We are a Christian family. I feel that because we are close knit, the little things as well as the big things in life count. Therefore, the enrichment that occurs has a definite purpose - it ought to mean something. May God guide the Messenger to enrich your' campus days in one of those little ways.

actresses. The story itself revolves around the classic plot of poor girl meets rich man and the two fall in love. Although they are

separated by pride and untimely circumstances, they are eventually united in the end. Although putting on a quality show lor the public requires much time and effort. the people in charge do not seem to mind. Producer Laura Steiner remarked, "Producing a musical i. something new to me. There's a lot to learn and a lot of work to do, but loving theatre like I do, iI's a welcomed challenge." Director Lois Abel agreed, and then went on to say, "There's nothing more exciting than taking words and turning them Into reality," Tickets for the four performances go on

hy Jane Zimmerman Staff Wrrter On Tuesday, August 24, the Lord called to Himself the soul of Meilahn Zahn, a retired professor of DMLC. Services were conducted at St. John's Lutheran Church in New Ulm on August 26. Professor Zahn served the Lord faithfully in the teaching ministry for forty- three years. He was born in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, on September 4, 1935. and returned there as a teacher upon his graduation from DMLC in 1932. He married Erna Miller on July 27.1935. In 1937. he accepted a call to Oshkosh, Wisconsin. where he served until 1946. His next four years were spent teaching in Menasha. Wisconsin. In 1950. he became a professor at Michigan Lutheran Seminary in Saginaw, Michigan. He remained there until 1962,when he accepted his call to serve in the music department at DMLC.

FROM THE INFLUENCE OF BACH COMES by Janelle Schmeichel Staff Writer Miss JUdith Kresnlcka will present an organ recital tonight (September 24) at 8 p.m. in the Academic Center Auditorium. Miss. Kresnicka has been with the faculty , since 1965. She received a Teacher's Certificate from the Wisconsin Conservatory of Music, Milwaukee, and a Master of Arts degree from the University of Iowa, Iowa City. Her interests in music include early instruments as well as early music. She will be assisted by Dr, Clayton H. Tiede who is a Professor of Music at Mankato State University. He will play the oboe and English horn. With the exception of the Bach selection, the pieces which Miss Kresnicka has chosen

for her recital are both "obscure" and "different from the norm" The program begins with two selections by Johann Ludwig Krebs. one of Bach's students. Krebs' Prelude and Fugue in C Major sounds.,. almost like Bach's Toccata, Adagio and. Fugue in C. The borrowing of another composer's material was usually considered a compliment, and it is highly unlikely that Bach objected to Krebs' using it. The other selection, Fantasy in F Major, for the organ and oboe. illustrates the style galant which was popular at the time. During the early part of the 19th century. a composer by the name of Robert Schumann wrote a few works for the pedal piano. His style is a combination of classicism and romanticism. Miss Kresnicka has chosen

twl' of his compositions for her program. Jan Koetsier is a unique composer of the 20th century. His music is unique in that he has written it [or the English horn and organ, two instruments that are not usually put together. Miss Kresnicka adds his Part ita. Opus 41. to her program. She completes her recital with a work by the great composer Johann Sebastian Bach. It is only fitting and proper to close the program with a work from one who has influenced so many other composers. It sounds like a very unique and exciting program. Hope you all come! Remember it is tonight (September 24) at 8 p.m. in the Academic Center!

pressure and temperature are taken and a general medical history of the donor is recorded Alter blood is collected its type is

determined and it is tested for transmissible disease. Whole blood is given to patients who have experienced massive blood loss. Various components can be separated [rom the blood and used in more specialized areas, such as red cells for anemics, cryoprecipitate for hemophiliacs and platelets for leukemia patients. Blood and its components are stored in refrigerators or frozen. The Bloodmobile is part of the St. Paul Regional Red Cross Blood Service, which operates in ninety-nine counties in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa and North and South Dakota. One hundred fifty- seven hospitals in this area annually receive 170000 units of blood from the SI. Paul Blo~ Center. The Red Cross depends on the generosity of caring volunteer donors for all the blood it distributes to those who need it. Hospitals are charged only enough to help cover the cost of collecting, storing, and transporting the blood. Why not share some of your healthy body with others?

lahn

For the next thirteen years, until January, 1975. Professor lahn was the chairman of DMLC's music division. He also directed the college choir, taught a course in conducting, and served in many other capacities for the music department until his retirement in 1977 Once, when asked about his responsibilities at DMLC. Professor Zahn replied "To keep things running smoothly." That's just what he did. The patience and kindness he showed toward students while going about this work will be remembered for many years to come.

GIVE LIFE by Kathy Hinderer Staff Writer On Tuesday, October 19, the Red Cross Community Bloodmobile will be on the DMLC campus setting up a blood donor station in the Student Union. This gives all students an opportunity to give a gift which will cost them nothing but is very precious to the person who receives it. The only requirements a donor must fulfill are that he or she must be 18-65years old, in good health, and weigh at least 110 pounds. The average adult's body contains ten to twelve pints of blood The usual donation is about one pint, which is quickly replaced by the body. Prospective donors should allow at least forty- five minutes to an hour Tor giving blood. The actual donation time is less than ten minutes, but there are certain other procedures which must be followed. Blood

SCHMIDT

RECITAL

by Karen Bartsch Staff Writer What could be more relaxing on a Sunday night than to let your ears delight in hearing the silver-toned notes reverberating from the pipes of an organ. Dr. Warren Schmidt certainly provided us with just such a performance of unforgettable high quality music in the Doctor Martin Luther College Academic Center. As the clock struck eight on the nineteenth of September, Dr. Schmidt began the recital by playing a classical selection of works by the masters, followed by a number of lively melodies from contemporary artists. The recital also contained two excellent compositions by Dr. Schmidt himself. The highlight of the evening,

however, centered around audience participation. In this specific performance, notes were required from the audience to which Dr. Schmidt produced original improvisations that delighted the assembly. Dr. Schmidt studied under the prestigious and influential Helmut Walcha on a Fulbright Scholarship which is quite a rare accomplishment. Dr. Schmidt has also toured Europe extensively, giving many recitals throughout the different countries. Dr. Schmidt is presently a member of the faculty at Wartburg college in Waverly, Iowa. Dr. Schmidt is certainly a gifted performer and we were happy to have the chance to listen to such an excellent performance.

by Beth Gitlespse Staff Writer This year's children's column will include letters from WELS elementary schools in nine different states. These schools range in size from one to eight rooms. We hope that through this column we will acquaint the future teachers at DMLC with grade school children and their ideas. Afso, we hope to be able to show these children that we at DMLC do care about what they have to say, In this particular column, the children in grades 1-4 from Christ Our Redeemer Christian Day School in Denver, Colorado, tell us what they think the best thing is about being back in school. A special thanks to their teacher, Margaret Rutschow, for her help and cooperation,

Wisconsin, teaching grades 7 and8. He had a fellow in his class who would leech off of the other students in the lunch department. Alter he would finish his wish sandwich, two pieces of bread that you wished had meat in it:he would ask for donations. One day a girl brought a dog biscuit to school and offered it to this guy. He then proceeded to ask the class for donations if he ate this dog biscuit. The other students offered him various things, if he would indeed eat the biscuit. This young man went to the front of the room and devoured the biscuit. Paul also taught his class how to casually watch girls or guys. You certainly do not want to look

head, The next night, at the real performance, Jon anxiously signaled to Casey not to hit the ball. Some of the parents felt Jon put on a better show than the children with his anxious signals. Tom Krueger had his experience at Inver Grove Heights, Minnesota, with grades 4 to 7. He was teaching Social Studies, and he asked his class why the explorers camp over to the New World. The whole class had their hands up, except for one little fourth grade girl. Tom decided to call on her. She had a complete blank look on her face, S() Tum gave her a few clues. He told her that It was in the ground and shiney. The girl quickly replied, "Oh. the devil!" Mark Dobberstein taught in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, grades 6 and 7. One day he was supervising study hall when a sixth grade boy asked him what this one "d" word meant. Mark told him to look it up and then he should report back to Mark on its meaning. The boy came back III a few minutes, and told Mark that the D dictionary was missing. Here he was looking in the encyclopedias. Emergency teaching certainly is an experience from all of these humorous statements. I guess this article sort of sums up two theories. One is Murphy's Law, whatever could go wrong will. The second theory is that kids do say and do the craziest things.

BEING A TEACHER by Dawn Rosenau Staff Wrtter Emergency teaching is an experience. This is how the majority of emergency teachers describe their sudden encounter in the teaching field. They all experience joys and sorrows. They already have seen the good and bad sides of teaching. They all have faced the challenge of leading God's little ones. Right now our campus has eight students with a year of teaching behind them. I believe the rest of the student body can learn from them, but for now we will see some of the more humorous sides of emergency teaching. Beth Worgull taught grades 5 to 8 in Tacoma, Washington. Her students felt that all women teachers should be married, and therefore referred to her as Mrs, Worgull. One sixth grade girl constantly referred to her as Mrs. Worgull, even into the beginning of November. Beth kindly gave the girl her mother's address, and told her that if she wanted to know a Mrs. Worgull she could write to one. The seventh graders thought that Beth should indeed be a Mrs., so they put their plan into action. At Christmas time she received a card from one of her students addressed Mrs. with the words "just a hint" following it. Just for all of you wondering how well the seventh graders' plan worked, Beth is still a Miss. Deb Bartsch also taught grades 5 to 8, but in our own Gibbon, Minnesota. Her tale deals with the first day of school. Of course she was very nervous while she anticip~t:d

the arrival of her students at eight o'clock. Who should come in at five minutes to eight. but the nurse to give Deb a tetanus shot. Deb hates shots, and this one was no exception. The nurse got blood on her new teacher-like blouse, and she felt like passing out. What a way to start out the year! Deb also let her students have a Fifties day. She did not think anything unusual would happen. To her surprise the boys came with real cigarettes rolled up in their sleeves. Luckily they also brought fake ones to use. Barb Gudex found herself in Algoma, Wisconsin, with grades 7 and 8. One day she told a student to "cut it out." This student was also required to stay in for recess. During, recess he was busily cutting. Later he showed Barb that he had cut the letters Iand T out, for she told him to cut "IT' out. Rita Putz received her call to Manitowoc. Wisconsin. She taught English at the high school level. One thing she learned early in the year was how to write tests. Her first test consisted of thirty sentences identifying the parts of speech. Unfortunately there were fifty-eight students, and it took her one whole week to correct it. Also during a very serious lesson, a student raised his hand to inform Miss Putz that the toilet on the space shuttle was plugged up. Rita was also surprised when one of her students ended his paragraph on "Whv I do not want to be middle-aged." "I do not want to be middleaged because then I would look like Miss Putz. Ha' Ha'" Paul Danuser spent last year at Big Bend,

ROCK OF OUR AGES hy Karen Siewert Staff Writer The DMLC Auditorium, usually filled with hymns and songs of praise was transformed, on September 15, into a Greek forum questioning the effect of rock music on young people today. Pastor Lany Zessin of St. Paul's church, Menomonie, Wisconsin, presented his ideas and several interesting studies in accordance with this controversial topic. "Satan is very real and powerful with one goal in mind - to lead us to hell. Music is threatening because it can have subliminal effects on the subconscious and the human brain - so we must be aware." Such groups as Jefferson Starship, Eagles, KISS, and Black Oak

ties to the occult. Sois it totally wrong or corrupt to listen to rock music? A panel of four students and two DMLC professors were confronted and asked to give an opinion on this Question. These panel members were Philip Hackbarth, Timothy McNeil. Laura Pankow. Daniel Tracy, Prof, Koelpin and Prof. Meyer Their reactions instigated a variety of questions and comments from the audience. Pastor Zessin cautioned that it is important to use our own Christian judgment in our choice of music. "Finally. be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power" Ephesians 6:1O.

DEAR DANA DEAR DANA, I realize the importance of music and art in the curriculum and therefore the methods classes in these fields. However, I fail to understand why these are mandatory while teaching math is optional. Somehow I feel we are slighting a subject which our pupils will need in high school and college for subjects which will be optional in those higher educational institutions. My question is why, under these circumstances, is teaching math not mandatory? Concerned future

about our children's

Dear Concerned, The question you posed is a rather difficult one, but several members of the faculty and administration assisted me in finding answers. First, and most simply. the current curriculum, which has been used since the late sixties, allows no room for a mandatory methods class in mathematics. Therefore, consideration or implementation of such a proposal would necessitate major revisions. Secondly. the number of students enrolled in Teaching Mathematics has changed drastically since the course was first offered in 1971 At that time. the course was taken almost solely by math concentrates; this year. students electing Teaching Math outnumber those concentrating in math by a ratio of three to one. This strongly suggests that students currently realize the importance of such a methods course. Finally, while your concern is valid and appreciated, we students must remember

the faculty and administration will act in a timely manner so the children we will teach will not be slighted.

DEAR DANA, I'm kind of confused and would sure appreciate your advice. I've never had any trouble socializing with people before, but for some reason I feel very uncomfortable around the guys here on campus. I've always been considered an outgoing person who can talk to just about anyone (guys included) but whenever my girlfriends and I run into some guys here I just clam up and don't know what to say. My girlfriends usually do all the talking and I feel really left out I hope you can give me some advice on how to open up again. Sincerely yours, Confused

Dear Confused, The problem you are encountering is not uncommon among freshmen and other new students. The uncomfortable feeling, I'm sure, comes from not being acquainted with many others, guys included. Once you have established friendships and casual acquaintances, you will once again be considered an outgoing person. Obviously. being friendly and outgoing are generally considered positive virtues; however. you need not feel awkward or left out if you are quiet while with others.

A GlANCE THE WILD(E) WORLD OF SPORTS by Paul Wilde Sports Editor Aswe begin another school year at DMLC, I think a review of interscholastic sports at DMLC,as well as a brief preview of the coming sports year, is in order. The DMLC sports department is headed by athletic director Gary Dallmann. Eleven interscholastic sports currently are lunded by the athletic department. Six of them are oflered for women - cross country, volleyball. basketball, so Itball, tennis, and trackwhile the other live are for the men football, galt, basketball, tennis, and baseball. The women coaching responsibilities are as follows: Judy Wade (volleyball and track): Barb Leopold (basketball and softball): Paul Boehlke (cross country): and Karen Shilling (tennis). The men's mentors are these distinguished gentlemen: Dennis Gorsline (football, basketball, and tennis); Fred Wulff and Darvin Raddatz (golf): and Marv Meihack (baseball). We have good reason to be proud of the athletic program at DMLC. Despite our limited budget. we are blessed with the best athletic facilities of any school in our conference, and I don't think we appreciate that enough. For example, we have six excellent tennis courts right at our disposal, while most schools in our conference don't

even have any courts of their own. The many accomplishments of teams and individuals in interscholastic competition are further reason to be proud of the DMLC sports program. DMLChas a tradition for excellence. The spring sports teams in particular have consistently reached lofty heights year after year, although this past spring wasn't quite as impressive (it still was an excellent season) as in past years. Nowlet's take a brieflookat each ofthe eleven sports teams on campus. Firstof all, I'llfocus

a 21.5 points per game clip; senior Krls Clausnltzer, who yanked down 10.1 reo bounds a game;and Dania Habeck, a junior who dished out an average of 6 assists a game. The Lancerette softball squad pounded their way to an impressive 10-6 slate and a

journey all the way across Center Street to play in the state tournament. Kate Martin was the team's ace hurler, racking up a sparkling 1.09 ERAenroute to a 5-2 record. Tammy Speidel sported an unblemished 3o record and a 3.29ERA.Speidel also proved her versatility by hammering out a AOO batting average.Tina Mohr and Kate Martin also hit safely at a .356 and a .333 rate, respectively. Most of last year's players will again sport the maroon and gray this coming season. Last year was the first year for an interscholastic women's tennis team. Considering that fact. the netters fared quite well, stroking their way to a 3-3 won-lost mark. The squad will lose 3 letterwinners, but the rest are back for another season. The 1982edition of the track team made great progress during the year. Women's track will be entering its fourth season this year, and several record-breakers Irom last year's team will be returning. Janice Kant' (400 meters), Amy Pappenfuss (shot put), and the two-mile relay team of Amy Torgerson, Jeanne Matuszak, Chris Melso, and Janice Kant all broke records last year. (I'm sure some others had broken records the year before, but I don't have records of that.) Two others placed sixth in their specialties at state two years ago Chris Melso (400 hurdles) and Chris Marasch (javelin). A co-captain from last year, Wendy Palmtag, also returns to show

her heels. Now let's shift our attention to men's sports. The 1981 football team scratched, clawed, and tackled their way to a 4-4 record, tying the best mark ever by the Lancers. The 1981 gridders also will be entered into the annals of history as the first Lancer" II " ever to defeat our sister school (I still think that "brother school" would be the more appropriate label), Northwestern of Watertown. Some notable men returning to the gridiron are: Tim Bentz and Eric Zlel, both of whom won all-conference laurels; and John Sebald, who was honored as an honorable mention all-

This year golfwillbe completely different than in past years. Golf has been a spring snort, but this year about halfofthe matches are scheduled in the falland the other half in the spring. Last spring the men on the links out~tlubbed the opposition (for the most part anyway). They finished 2·1 in dual meets, grabbed first place in both of their

before stumbling in the conference meet. With everyone from last year's team returning, plus several excellent newcomers, the future does indeed look as rosy as the advent of spring lor this year's netters. Several noteworthy letter-winners are: Paul Wilde, a senior who played No. I singles and doubles and captained last year's team (no, that was not a misprint'). Wilde enjoyed a banner year, amazing everyone (especially opponents, who probably thought they were playing some deranged Wildman) by compiling a perfect 13-0season, and by winning the conference championship; and Don Kolander, John Ashenmacher, Bob Favorite, and Tim Boemeke, none of whom lost more than 3 matches in singles allyear long.The Lancers are also looking forward to hosting several matches on DMLC'sown space-age version of Wimbledon. The 1982 Lancer baseball team had its ups and downs whilepiecing together a 12-8 record. The ace of last year's pitching staff, senior Bryan Von Deylen (who, in case some poor deprived soul doesn't know yet,

on women's sports.

Last year's Lancerette volleyball team distinguished itself by accomplishing more than any previous Lancerette squad. They compiled at 16·10 regular season record, but that's only the beginning.They pocketed fourth place at the state tourney, their best showing ever. The Lancerettes then made an expedition into the never-beforeexplored land of the AlAW Region6 Division IIIvolleyball tournament. The Lancerettes found this rare atmosphere in the lofty heights of collegiate powers to their liking, advancing to the quarterfinals before making the long voyage back down to the "real world" 01 DMLC.This year willbe more of a rebuilding year because many of last year's integral performers will not be returning. The Lancerette cross- country squad raced to their best times ever last year. Their meet placements in comparison to other

schools weren't anything to boast about, but the women ran faster than ever before, and gained much experience to help this year's harriers. Janice Kant, a junior, has been the top harrier in each of her first two years here. The Lancerette roundballers battled misfortune all year long on their way to a 7· 10regular season record. They did advance to the state tournament, but were defeated in the first round. Several key returnees are: Usa Quam, a junior who rippled the nets at

VOLLEYBALL TEAM IS INEXPERIENCED by Paul Wilde Sports Editor Coach Wade's 1982 women's volleyball team is not quite as loaded with talent as last year's team. Last year the Lancerettes soared above and beyond any previous Lancerette squad by seizing4th place at the state tournament and by reaching the quarterfinals in the AIAWRegion 6 Division III college tournament. But that was last year; several integral players willnot return and only 7 of the 18 players are returning. This year will be more of a rebuilding year than in past years. The squad's defense is especially weak right now. The team does have good spiking potential, but the quality of ball control before the spike has been poor, nullifyingthat strength. Four letter winners anchor

They are Krls Clausnltzer, Lynne Bitter, Dania Habeck, and Lisa Quam. Clausnitzer, a senior, captains the club. She

is so proficient at the art of "killing"(hitting an unreturnable spike) that she almost made the FBI's most wanted list. Lynne Bitter, a junior, is quick on her feet and specializes in setting. Dania Habeck, a junior,

is an all-around player who is especially proficient at digging(a defensive save). Lisa

Quam, also a junior, blocks well and has the potential to develop into a good spiker. The Lancerettes are employing an eight player rotation this year. The other half of the starting lineup are Judy Putz, Adele Dietrich, Mary Putz, and Yvonda Beaudin. Judy Putz, a junior, stands out above the rest of the crowd (both literally and figuratively) as the squad's best blocker and has matured well as a spiker. Adele Dietrich is a special freshman whose area of concentration in the volleyball curriculum

is setting.

larger colleges and universities, as in past years. The conference matches fall in the latter half of the schedule. Coach Wade is hoping the tougher early part of the schedule willgive the squad the experience and ball control necessary to achieve their goal of a conference championship. She feels that ifthe club can get their ball control working, everything else willfall into place.

Putz is a

freshman who, like her sister, is a front row specialist. Yvonda Beaudin, a freshman, is a

solid all-around player with no outstanding strengths or weaknesses. The rest of the roster consists of Betty Carter, Krls Redlin, Gayle Brown, Laureen Jaeger, Julie Detjen, Kay Joseph, Jane Falk, Dawn Miller, Lori Meineke, and Patty Bintz, Kristin Boswell and Mary Ellen Meeboer manage this year's team. The Lancerettes won't be as good as last year, but the team is optomistic about the coming season.

hy Karen Siewert Staff Writer "You did not choose me, bull chose you," This passage, John 15:16, was the theme of the sermon presented by Rev, Carl Mischke, President of the Wisconsin Ev. Lutheran Synod. Rev. Mischke was the guest speaker for the special Anniversary service held October 3, 1982,in honor of Professor Erich Sievert's fifty years of service to the Lord in Christian education. At 7:30 p.m. Sunday evening, the DMLC auditorium became a gathering place for family, friends and students wishing to thank the Lord publicly for such a faithful servant. President Lloyd Huebner, the liturgist for the Anniversary of Ministry service, led the congregation in worship. Professor Hermanson directed the College Choir in a special arrangement of Hymn 39. "Praise to the Lord the Almighty." Professor Sievert. a graduate of DMLC in 19~2, was first assigned to St. John's Lutheran church in Neillsville. Wisconsin,

The bands executed the whole concert splendidly - and I don't just mean it sounded good, The attacks were right on cue, the scale patterns were pronounced well. and thort- were cosmic contrasts. No one was caught napping during this concert: Professor Hennanson produced some comments before the concert. "l'rn very pleased with the progression of both bands. As a coach would say 'the longer you CfIll

LADIES AUXILIARY COMES TO DMLC hy Michele Ceralo Staff Writer Here's a riddle for you: Who has been around for twentythree years and is always doing something for the college? No, it's not a professor and it's not the cafeteria either. It's the LadiesAuxiliary. Yes, that's right. the Ladies Auxiliary. This year on October 13th they held their annual meeting on our campus. Here's another question for you: What do they do for our campus? They do many different things for us and our campus, They provide us with luxury and necessary items, Each year at these meetings, they discuss many projects which they support generously. In the past they've

supplied liS with drapes. vacuum cleaners. and carpets for all of the dormitories on campus. and the student union also. They have also supplied the school with overhead projectors, the recusci-Annie. and the drying rack in the art room. They also give $500 a year to the library and $7,,0 to the scholarship aid fund. The majority of these women come from the six conferences in Minnesota. About 450-550 women attend the annual meetings held here. This organization gets most of its money from free will offerings. They generously use it to support our school. We should be thankful that God gave us this organization and remember to keep them in our prayers.

His teaching abilities from 1945-194Rwere best used at First Lutheran School. LaCrosse, Wisconsin. Under the Lord's care, Professor Sievert began working in the education division of DMLC ill 1%0, where he has served until the present. He has also served as an assistant to the pastor at SI Paul's Lutheran Church. Arlington, Minnesota (1968-1976). Other various positions include being a member of the Synod's committee to write the new catechism for the youth classes and being superintendent of Sunday School at SI. John's Lutheran Church of New Ulm. When asked for a particular experience that made teaching a pleasure, he replied, "Teaching the primary grades is the most rewarding because of the trust they place in you. Professor Sievert especiallv remembered an incident that happened to iI young boy in his class in Neillsville. Wisconsin. The children had learned Hymn 552. "Abide with Me' Fast Falls thrEventide," Years later during \V\VII oneof the boys. now grown. was sent with tlw Marines to Guadalcannlnnd found himself frightened by (III the bombinu and fighting ill the area. He rem'Prllberedthe teacher and the hymn he had learned ill grade school. and there he found great comfort because he knew that if he died he would be with his Savior. Professor Sievert offered this advice to future teachers: "Make it a point to talk and visit with God daily, for He will surely guide you." He also strongly suggested "pursuing as many interests as possible throughout your life, according to your God given talents." "Part of the joys of serving the Lord at DMLc''' says Professor Sievert."is watching the growing up process of students from their freshmen year until after they return from practice teaching." Certainly. the Lord has chosen Professor Sievert to serve Him in various capacities, and we ask that the Lord continue to guide him.

FRIGHTENED FROSH by Debev Keehn Staff Writer Now as you read this ilrtic!(' freshman initiation is almost over, but keep reading to get an idea of how freshmen felt before it started. The first mention of "initiation" brought a look of panic to many faces and a smile to others. The first and most common fear the freshmen had was the dreaded singing in the cafeteria. Another was being caught alone somewhere. You could be sure to see "packs" of freshmen around campus during the week of Greek mythology. Another thing they feared was coming out of the shower only to find their towels gone. Although there were many fears. there was also a lot of excitement. You can be sure the freshmen will look back on their first year at DMLC with fond memories and laughter. Now that initiation is almost over, the freshmen are looking forward to showing the Lancer spirit at the game against the Northwestern Trojans on Saturday, October 23, at 2:00 p.m. So don't be surprised, upperclassmen, when you hear the freshmen class fired up and showing a lot of pep during the Homecoming game.

EDITORIAL HOW TO OCCUPY YOUR TIME by Miriam Zimmermann Editor-in-Chief "Occupy till I come" are words lance heard at a baccalaureate service. The pastor earnestly used these words from Luke 19:1:1to exhort a group of students to use their time wisely after graduation. These words can apply to us now whether or not we are recent graduates or even graduates-to-be. Jesus says to all of us at DMLC, "Occupy till I come." College means books. classes. lectures, lessons. and homework. So certainly we ought to

have enough to occupy our time. Right? We may have organ or piano practices. exams to study for. extra curricular activities to attend. papers to write. projects to finish.laundry to wash. and letters to write. All this takes time. Certainly all this busy work leaves us without a moment tn spare.We must be using our time wisely. After all. these activities must be done. There is no way for a student to get through college without doing some homework. There is no way a faculty member can get by without preparing for his classes. We do not have to worry about how our time will be occupied. \Ve get one project done in time todo another one. It sounds like the effort completing a task is even less than the effort needed to find something to do. It sounds like the occupying of our time is becoming rather mechanical. We may have many things to do, but if these activities are just keeping LIS busy. there is something wrong. We ought to occupy our time with a real purpose. Every minute of our time should be occupied knowing that one day Christ is coming. If our activities are just providing busy work, we are not really occupying our time with this thought in mind. Whether teacher or student, we should fulfill our present calling in life with a great amount of zeal and excitement. Jesus does not want us to occupy our time in a boring, routine manner. Doing homework does not have to be dull and boring either. We are to use our abilities and minds to their fullest extent so that when Jesus does come we will be physically and spiritually alert. \Vhenwe approach our work with eagerness. we know that Jesus gives us strength to complete it and uses it to prepare us for a future task. In the parable, the nobleman told his servants to use the money he gave them. He wanted to see what results this money would bring if it were used wisely. God has indeed endowed us with riches in many forms. \Ve are expected to occupy our earthly time with these gifts until Jesus comes. Certainly'. with this thought in mind, we will occupy our time with a greater zeal.

GUEST EDITORIAL byA C Dohm Staff Writer Over two weeks have passed since Pastor Larry Zessin gave a presentation here at DMLC on the topic of Satan in rock music. During this time I have often thought about some of the reactions to that night. In this editorial I hope to avoid commenting on the content of Pastor Zessin's presentation but to dwell on the student reaction and to comment on a couple of points which were made that affected me. My feelings, as I listened to the reaction panel and the student body's comments. were that the people came with somewhat of a prejudice on the subject and speaker. Part of the blame for the audience's preconceived notions about Rev. Zessin's topic is due to the article which was distributed to us. I'm sure that the intent of giving copies of the article out was to raise the interest in the topic. However. it seemed that many of the students came "loaded for bear" and ready to take on anyone who threatened their music. Pastor Zessin, in his speech, said that he regretted that the article was published in Northwestern Lutheran because of the generalizations and the resentment it caused. Perhaps the students and reaction panel would have been more objective had the article not been distributed. Pastor Zessin's purpose in coming and speaking here was to help us. He did not come to condemn everyone here who listened to rock music. I am glad to say that a good number of the audience took the message in the manner in which it was intended. I would like to join the others and thank Pastor Zessin for sharing with us his thoughts on the subject. In the reactions to the presentation, there were a few comments which I feel should be

put into a better light. One comment was made that we should not get too hung up about rock and roll because God has promised that we will not be tempted beyond the strength of our faith. The passage which refers to this was meant to be a comfort to us in times of trials and troubles. If the message about rock music and the music itself upsets us, we can look to this assurance and be comforted. but we should not tempt God by taking Satan and temptation lightly. Satan hopes to lead us all to hell and we are to guard ourselves against him with the weapon of God's Word. Another point which arose was that it may be unfair to judge the music of a person or group by the type of life he or they lead. My feelings on this are that a person's philosophy of life is an integral part of the person. When we talk or write, our philosophy shows, often in ways which are not readily seen. If a group's private life is one of abuses in liquor. sex, or drugs, or is involved in Satanic worship, I feel that it will come through in their music. It may not be apparent in all their songs, and perhaps only vaguely apparent in just a few, but it will be there. The question in this case is, "Would what they say be regarded as of good Christian quality?" The best rule which we can apply to our lives as Christians is, in the words of the Apostle Paul, "So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the Glory of God" (I Corinthians 10::11).

BOOK REVIEW AMERICAN DREAMS: LOST AND FOUND by Studs Terkel commentator, and free-lance journalist. Currently, he is a disk jockey for a Chicago radio station which specializes in folk and classical music. as well as letting housewives air their opinions in the weekday morning hours. Studs Terkel is. and is interested in the Common Man. What makes American Dreams delightful is that there are no stereotypical characters. no unimportant stories. The grammar is often bad. and the stories sometimes touchingly humble, but the book is inspiring in its true to life portrayal of Americans fighting hardship and adjusting to change.

hy Alar}('an Burbach Staff Wril"r American Dreams: Lost & Found is an unretouched record of one author's talks with various and diverse people nationwide: actors and actresses. smallfown businessmen as well as corporate presidents. immigrants and vagabonds. All of these people come together to tell the author about their lives. their private dreams. and what they've fulfilled within the framework. of tilt' American Dream. Studs Terkcl is an interesting charncter in his own right. Born in 1912, he was born and raised in Chicago. graduating from the University of Chicago Law School in l~n,1.

AUTHOR ON CAMPUS by A C Dohm Staff Writer When I was younger, I always dreamed of meeting someone who was famous. I thought that it would be just great to be able

to talk to Mickey Mantle, or the President, or Bob Hope. I did get to meet the President.

NEW ORLEANS

The president of our congregation, that is. I got to see Bob Hope, Mickey Mantle, Lorne Greene, and Red Skelton at a distance, but I never got to meet them. It was on Friday, September 24, at 11:00 that my dream came true. Visiting our campus was Ron Klug, co-author of twelve books of devotional nature. Mr. Klug graduated from DMLC in 1962 and accepted a call to teach in South Haven, Michigan. In 196Rhe took a copywriter job at Concordia 'Publishing Company and there began his writing career. From 1976 till 1980 Klug accepted it call to Madagascar as a missionary, where he and his wife found time to continue theirwriting_ Klug's newest book, Growing In Joy, consists of thirtyone chapters based on Bible passages about joy. The book will be released by Augsbu rg Publishing in January. I was introduced to Mr. Klug by our own Prof. Boehlke, an old friend of the author. I had the opportunity to talk with the man for awhile and acquire one 01his books, signed by the author, of course. The conversation turned to DMLC and Mr. Klug stated that he looks fondly back on his days here. "I feel ~ strong sense of roots here at DMLC and at New Ulm," quoted Klug. Ron Klugwas on campus at the bookstore from 10:00 a.rn, till 1:00 p.m. signing books, chatting with old friends and profs and putting lorth a fine image.

HERE'S TO LAUGHTER Since the beginning, poets have dwelt on the laughter of children. The laughter of young people: exuberant, ready, spontaneous, mischievous,., in all moods, never quite recaptured once youth passes into maturity. Then laughter becomes eloquent expressing a richer appreciation

of a caper or jest, weighed quickly but with

assurance. Laughter is contagious. It is entertainment and medicine. It is food to friendships. It is essential to a society that must have sunshine and fresh air and health in body and spirit.

QUIVER YOUR QUILL CONTEST The members of the Art Club and the staff of the Messenger are sponsoring an art contest that is open to all students of DMLC. The Messenger and Art Club are organizationsthat exist for a purpose of allowing students to exercise their talents. The purpose of this activity is to renew interest in talents that often lie dormant. In sponsoring such a contest. the Messenger and Art Club do not want to reward students for their talent, but simply to encourage them to make use of these God given talents. Three winners will be selected and will be awarded a gift that is related to the field of art. The gift will serve to encourage the artist in his own endeavors and may possibly be used to encourage art in the classroom. Officials from the Art Club and the Messenger will serve as judges and will base their judging on the criteria listed below. The first place entry will be printed in the December issue of the Messenger. The other two will appear on the Art Club bulletin board. All are encouraged to use whatever art talent they posess.

DEAR DANA Dear Dana: I tend to be a little upset when I hear remarks about how the women lip here don't get asked out enough. During my time here at DMLC I have done some extensive work in asking girls out. However, as a general rule, I have met no success in my venture. The reasons for turning me down tend to be varied. but all seem to point to the fact that I am just not the kind of guy they would like to be seen with in public. It is with this in mind that I have come to the conclusion that it is not worth my time to ask any of the campus women out (Of any other w(;men for that matter). I find it more resourceful of mv efforts to either go out with the bovs. (most commonly) to go out alone. b~ it to a movie, for a few beers, or just for a walk around town. What I wonder about is. am I justified in my conclusion?

TItOSE WERE TItE DAYS by Wesley Steinberg Columnist Greetings! Halloween is a special night of the year. It is the night when goblins rule and witches brew and spirits roam the earth in search of someone to haunt. It is the night when children dress up in their cute little E.T. costumes and wander about the neighborhood extorting goodies from unwary adults, hoping against hope that their mothers won't make them cover their alien appearance with bulky winter jackets or follow them around in the family spaceship. When I was a kid, I virtually used Halloween as an excuse to run amuck' So did my friends. There were five of us in our little "organization," and we came up with

some of the most devious schemes our warped twelve-year-old minds could devise.

We were "allmembers of the Discoverer's Club, but we were known far and wide as Tibo's Terrors, probably because Tibo was the recognized leader of the group. E.P.was. second-in-command, inasmuch as he had the brains and the sharpest wits in Manistee County. E.P.could think his way out of any difficult situation. and he got us all out of a tot of tough scrapes, which is why we made him l st Officer. I kept the Club journal as well as the secret record of all our meetings.

Because I liked to write, the guys called me The Michigan Letterman - "Mich" for short. The two guys who kept track of our finances were Ellery and George Garfield. They were brothers who were always trying to outdo one another. That's why we let both of them handle the Club's money. Otherwise, a state of utter chaos would exist and we would never get anything done. The gang met right after school one Halloween at our secret hideout near Manistee Lake to plan the evening's "activities." We were too old for Trick-orTreats and too young for drive-in movies, so we were forced to find something somewhere in between. Tibo suggested we attempt a raid on the slumber party snobby Karen Wilson and some of her girlfriends were having at her house that night. Her parents would be at a party, so the girls would be entirely alone. Thinking back on all the dirty tricks Karen and her friends played on us at school, we all readily agreed, and E.P.began sketching out the details of the mission. The plan was set. We'd hit them later under the cover of darkness and give them a Halloween surprise they would never forget. The five of us readied ourselves in various strategic positions around Karen Wilson's house. makin_g last-minute preparations.

while we waited for E.P.'scue. All of us were at our stations: E.P. was in the basement adjusting his equipment; Tibo stood outside the Wilson's livingroom window, beside the front door; George and Ellery were positioned on the roof above the backyard patio, while I waited below them and off to one side behind a bush. All systems were go' We waited for what seemed like an hour. From my vantage point opposite the patio doors. I could see the girls sitting on their sleeping bags, laughing and giggling and having a grand old time. It wouldn't be long now. The excitement began all at once. E.I'. flipped the master control switch, shutting down every light in the house,then switched on a tape recording of ghostly sound effects with voices that said. "Get out! Get out. while you can!", over and over. The girls .began to scream, especially when Tiho started thumping his fist against the outer wall, and I could see them run toward the front door. When I heard the girls scream again, I knew they had run into the lite-size glowing skeleton Tibo had suspended outside the door. It was only a matter of time before they would come to me. The patio was the only other way out. I slid op,en the patio doors

LIGHTS, CAME,RA, ACTIONI

hy Patti Zahn Staff Writer "Hold your poses." "Quiet in the background." "Move a little to your left." "Chorus, tune up." These are just a few of the sounds that have been pouring forth from the auditorium nightly for the past few weeks. Opening night is rapidly approaching and the cast and crews of this year's musical "IRENE" have begun most of the hard work needed to make it a success.Director Lois Abel commented on the progress of the show, "I'm both excited and scared

about opening night. We've got a lot of work that 'has to be done. I'm very pleased with the effort everyone is making, and I don't foresee any problems yet." "IRENE" centers itself on the love story of a poor Irish girl. Irene O'Dare. and the classy Donald S.Marshall Ill. Gina Hoerning, who portrays Irene. remarked about the show. "I'm really excited about it. There are so many neat people in it, It takes a lot of time, but it's fun and it will really be worth it." Likewise, Kurt Rosenbaum, who plays Mr. Marshall. added,"I think it's

and whistled to George and Ellery to get ready. The girls would be along any second. Karen and the girls plowed through the patio doors faster than a speedingbullet; but they weren't quite fasl enough. Their feel had no more crossed the threshold when Ellery and George rained buckets of mud down on top of them. They grahbed and held onto one another to keep from falling, but their feet slid in the slippery ooze and they hit the ground anyway. By this time I was laughing so hard at seeing Karen and her friends drenched with mud that I almost to-got I had to finish the job. I Quickly ducked back behind the bush I had been hiding in and grabbed the waterhose secreted there, turned on the spigot. and brought the water to bear on the unsuspecting girls. Our plan had worked' They were completely overwhelmed. The mission was a success! We quickly regrouped behind the house with our props and equipment, and took off. leaving Karen and the rest or the girls muddy. wet. confused - and very angry. .Halloween was indeed made especially for kids. It is their night. My friends and I proved that thirteen years ago. Ah those were the days'

going pretty well, We still have a lot of work to do, but we have a good chance of being in shape by showtlme." The production sideof the show is headed by Laura Steiner. When questioned on the progress. she commented. "Things are going pretty wellat least on my end of it. We're trying to do some different things this year." Miss Steiner. who also helps with costuming. added. "We've got a lot of new costumes ... some of the Madame Lucy creations are really bizarre." Others heading various areas of the show

include Keith Schroeder, l stage crew; Lynn Schmidt, tickets and publicity; Professor Hermanson, orchestra; Mrs, Schubkegel, chorus; AV crew, lighting and sound; andJenny Meyer ( also a member of the chorus), choreography. All or these efforts, combined with the talented and dedicated cast and chorus, promise to make "IRENE" an enjoyable and impressive show. See you the weekend of November 12Âˇ14

race, and when that is done. a sense of pride

and joy in knowingyou have done your best is felt among the participants. After seeing

to the longer versions with the next issue of

the Messenger, The football season to date has had its share of both good and bad news. The 1982

the team at their sole home-meet this past

season started off with some good news as the Lancers traveled to Milwaukee and

defeated Marquette University's football club by a 12-6 margin. Now for some more good news. The

followingSaturday our Lancers opened up the home slate of games. The good news is ttiat it was a beautiful sunshiny day and many loyal fans were soaking up the sun at the bowl. The bad news is that so was Concordia-Seward (Nebraska) and their football team. The Bulldogs wasted little time inacclimating themselves to the task at hand by scoring, the first time they had the ball, on a 45 yard scoring run to put themselves ahead to stay, If this particular contest had any good news for the faithful fans of DMLC,it was that the home team held Concordia to only seven points in the

fourth quarter. The bad news is that the Bulldogshad scored 57 points before that to hand the Lancers an embarassing 64-0 drubbing. Some more good news followed the following week. Once again the Lancers were playingfootball on a beautiful Saturday afternoon at the bowl, and this time Seward was nowhere in sight. The bad news? Northwestern-Roseville was. The Lancers proved to be tough in trailingonly 6-0 at the halfway point before the Eagles opened things up in the second half to win by a 22-0 count.

These are the women that put much work Into cheering on our Lancers, (photo by Dave Schroeder) follow DMLC would complain that the football team's scoring is going down. On the other hand, there is a group of people. albeit a smaller group, that has just the

opposite feelingabout the scores posted by the women's cross country team, Throughout the season, the ladies' times have been taking drastic reductions, much to the joy of

One week later the Lancers had some good news once again. They didn't lose to PillsburyBaptist College of Owatonna, MN. The bad news is that they didn't win either, as the two teams battled in the mud to a 6-6 tie. Paul Lutze, switching from defensive back to tailback shortly before the game scored the Lancer's lone TDon a seven yard run.

Yes,friends,good news followedthe team as they traveled to St. Paul to take on Concordia's Comets, The Lancers didn't have to contend with the mud that seeminglyplayed such a factor the previous week. The bad news is that they had to contend with Concordia's football team, which proved to be challenge enough, as the hosts dealt our Lancers a sound defeat by the score of 38-6. Quarterback Mike Oesch tallied the lone touchdown on a two yard run.

The bad news is that at this point in the season, the Lancer football squad has a record of one win, three losses, and one tie.

The schedule calls for only three games remaining; a visit to Maranatha in Watertown, WI,the homecoming clash with NWCWatertown and the final home game of the year against Mt. Senario. Determine for yourself if that is the good news. I don't think there would be much argument if I were to say that sports is a funny thing at times. Many people who

Saturday, I feel that point was evident. For those of you who braved the elements to witness the event. you could see the ... determination in every one of the athletes who participated. They had acertain goal in mind and they weren't about to let the cold, damp air stop them. It was evident all the way from Janice Kant, who again paced the team to victory, to Deb Roemhlldt, who, although she finishedlast. had the knowledge that she did the best that she could, which is something the rest of us don't do as often as we probably could. Once again, I salute the women's cross country team and their head coach. Prof. Paul Boehlke,who proved that he practices what he preaches by winning the men's master's division of the College of St. Catherine's Open Run on Wednesday, September 15 I would like to close on a couple of notes. First of alii salute the MilwaukeeBrewers on coming back from a 2-0 deficit in games to the CaliforniaTwins, I mean Angels, to take on the St. Louis Cardinals in the 1982 World Series. Since there are so many Wisconsinites here on campus I know that is something quite meaningful to the readers. Secondly, I would like to make you, the readers aware of something new that willbe added to this column every month starting with the next issue, Since sports stars often have a way of saying something that willlive in the annals of our minds and often come

up in our conversations, I have decided to take some of these never to be forgotten gems and test your knowledge, memory or whatever you want to call it, and see ifyou really know what they were talking about. Your writer willtake fiveselected quotes from the past and print them in this column. What you the reader are to do is to see ifyou can correctly identifythe speaker, For those of you on campus, the first four to give the right information will win a special prize, compliments of this publication. For those of you. off campus, if you send the correct answers to me, you willnot only feel the joy' of causing me to receive mail, but you will also find your names listed in this article, All you do is send the answers to Paul L Danuser, DMLC Box 204, New VIm, MN 56073, Here is a sample test, to see ifyou willbe ready for the next issue.Goodluckin identifying the originator of these famous quotes! I. "If I was playing in New York, they'd name a candy bar after me," 2. "The opera's not over 'til the fat lady sings." 3, "I float like a butterfly and sting likea bee," 4, "Tell it like it is," 5.

With the first round of student teaching finished and another begun, twenty-eight seniors have returned to campus. Withthem they bring memories of good times, hard work and embarrassing moments. In order to alert the rest of the student body to what lies ahead in the professional semester, several have agreed to share their experiences with us. Miss Deb Schroeder' 8 second graders showed inquisitiveness for their subject matter. MissSchroeder was tellingthe Bible lesson of "The Flood" The children were all

engaged in naminganimals whichNoah took into the ark. When the pigswere named, one little girl asked, "Did God put mud in the ark for the pigs to roll in?" Although Miss Schroeder was taken completely by surprise, she regained her composure sufficiently to answer that God certainly would have wanted the animals to be comfortable. Miss Valerie Georg and Miss Carol Wuerch found a strange ritual awaiting - them at Fairfax,Minnesota. It seems that all student teachers there are required to attend an initiation.The initiationconsists of plucking, gutting, washing and cutting up chickens which are donated to the school for the hot lunch program. Miss Georg and Miss Wuerch then experienced the benefits oftheir labors when a bigchurch dinner was held afterward. Miss Lori Lankey, a small town girl from Tomah, Wisconsin, found city life in Milwaukee a real change of pace. On her third day, she was walking past her car to school when she noticed one window rolled down. A closer examination revealed that the car had been tampered with. She called the police when she discovered her FM converter and tape deck missing. Miss Lankey was so stunned to have her possessions taken that she could not even estimate the value of her stolen goods nor find the serial numbers. The police then commented to Miss Lankey(who happened to be wearing a gingham dress), "You really are a country girl, aren't you?" Incidentally, MissLankey also lost a contact lens that day but found it again three days later. Miss Rachel Zenker's third and fourth graders showed their first signs of approval on McDonald'sDay.On McDonald'sDaythe children could order food from McDonald's.

Following the presentation of awards. a number of students provided some enjoyable entertainment. Performing were Lisa

Varney, Gary Thoma and Brian Zunker, The Primates, Kelley Mitzner, the Sign Language Club, Patt~ Maxine, and Laverne, and Siren, Providing comic relief between acts were the Masters of Ceremonies, Glenn Davis and Phil Hackbarth. Another exciting event of the Homecoming

Parents volunteered to pick up the food and bring it to the school. When the children saw all the food spread out before them, one little third grader commented, "Wowl Miss Zenker is really getting to be a good teacher. isn't she?" Miss Sharon Becker celebrated her birthday while in Wood Lake, Minnesota teaching fifth through eighth graders. Miss Becker was planning to keep her birthday a secret from her class but mysteriously the

words "Happy Birthday, Miss Becker" appeared on her lunch bag. As she was on her way to the kitchen to get milk,the lower grade room sang" Happy Birthday" to her and when she came back she was attacked and spanked by four girls in her classroom. They estimated her age to be thirty-nine. Sound likefun?Most student teachers will tellyou that they want nothing more than to be in their respective classrooms with their children-,

of the

freshman class. This "pleasurable experience" included awakening at 4 or 6 a.m. and doing calisthenics under the direction of the sophomore drill sergeants, marching nightly around the campus, carrying trays and singing for the upperclassmen in the cafeteria, and wearing nametags and hornemade beanies. The freshmen learned many new marching songs, the school song and especially the Alma Mater, which they performed at half-time of the Homecoming game. Although most are thankful the "dreaded" week is over, initiation and homecoming in

general proved to be an enjoyable week for the freshmen, as wellas the upperclassmen.

EDITORIAL ARE MUNCHIES INCLUDED? by Miriam Zimmermann £dilor-in-Chief

"Giveus this day our jellybread." This expression was used by a young child when praying the Lord's Prayer. Certainly she captured the feelingof the petition and aptly related it to her life.The daily bread spoken of in the Lord's Prayer indeed does not have to be limitedto any particular type of food.Let's relate the term" dailybread" to the livesof DMLCstudents. Many students have groceries stored somewhere in their rooms. Munchies of all sorts are regularly devoured by students. This consumption of food is done often for a good reason. The aroma of a fresh batch of popcorn is an invitation to a social gathering. Students love to express their hospitality to fellowdorm members. Fewstudents can diligentlystudy on an empty stomach. So with the great amount of studying that needs to be done, a certain amount of food needs to be consumed. Some cheetos can often be the motivator needed to liftdrowned spirits. Momis also sure to send food to her college bound son or daughter so he or she won't forget what homemade goodies taste like.The reasons why food is available and why it is consumed are numerous. The degree of validity of these reasons is not the question at hand. Rather, is the degree of thanks that we render to God equivalent to the amount of food we enjoy? When do we take the opportunity to give thanks for our food? Beingaway from home, it is sometimes easy to forget our prayers at mealtimes. Certainlywe do remember, but are these prayers said with real emotion? The mood of a student when he reaches a table can vary. One can be extremely hungry, excited to talk about something, or just ina hurry to get finishedand leave. Under these circumstances, we may be tempted to set the tray down, quick bow our heads. and then attend to the "real business" at hand. Thanks is barely given for the food about to be eaten much less for the food consumed a few short hours earlier. I'm not

suggesting an itemizedlist,but a realization ofjust how much we have for which to be thankful. Ifour three basic meals are slighted, we must be completely forgetting the popcorn we have every night. Perhaps we do not consume as much food as I suggested. Nevertheless. we all feed our mouths at one time or another which is only natural. We need food for our bodies. but we also need to be grateful for this food. Picture yourself about ready to dig into a fresh batch of pOpCOrRwhen someone comes into the room and takes the bowl saying there is someone

Guest Writer A living memorial is reaching late adolescence on the campus of Gustavus Adolphus College in nearby St. Peter. This year's Nobel Conference at Gustavus Adolphus perpetuated for the 18th consecutive year a livingmemorial to Swedish Scientist Alfred Nobel. Attendance swelled into the thousands as delegationsfromover ninety colleges and one hundred fiftyhigh schools convened for two day's worth of lectures at Lund Arena. The officialDMLCdelegation of Profes-sors Carmichael, Isch, and Leverson along with students John Ashenmacher, Kim Joseph, Julie Leinberger, Priscilia Matzke, Paul Pappenfuss, and Jon Woldt sifted through the thoughts 01 both the charismatic and the tedious lecturers. The spectrum of intellectual diversity among the participating conference speakers contributed to the interesting sequence in which the speakers appeared. The conference opened and closed with lecturers from the fieldof the humanities. A member of the secular branch of the humanities, biographical novelist Irving Stone opened the conference on October 5th. Stone's most recent biographical novel isThe Origin, a finelyresearched history of Charles Darwin, his friends, and his time.

Stone's mainstream historicalinsightslaida fine groundwork for those who were interested in Darwin's contribution to modern thought but still wet behind the ears, scientifically.The representative of the theological branch of the humanities was Jaroslav Pelikan,a man with educational ties to the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod who is presently a Professor of History at Yale.Unfortunately, the content of Pelikan's concluding lecture didn't live up to its dramatic billing of "Darwin's Legacy: Emanation, Evolution, and Development." To put it bluntly Pelikan's presentation at Nobel Conference XVIII was somewhat baffling. He injected little theological perspective into Darwin's Legacy, rather he injected Darwin's Legacy into theological perspectives. Sandwiched between these men of the humanities were the scientists; the gist, gristle, and meat of the conference. Here also was broad diversity in intellect, personality, and application of Darwinian thought to various scientific disciplines. Geologist Stephen Jay Gould and Paleontologist Richard E.F. Leakey delved into the static aspects of evolution: the geological and the fossil records. Both were by and large the most charismatic speakers at the conference. Both have also developed a friendly rivalry in regard to th-e way the

platform, they never let those feelingsboilto a fervent pitch. If the theologian Pelikan;the final speaker of the conference, was to spark controversy, he must have left his flints behind With the exception of Stone's denouncement of the conservative, moral New Right's potential infringement on the open-mindedness which encourages free thought in such areas as evolution, the speakers for the most part limited themselves to the conlines of the conference theme: Darwin's Legacy ... Perhaps it would be more accurate to say that the speakers expanded the conference's theme to Darwin's Evolutionary Legacy, for this point became clear at Nobel Conference XVIII:Science views evolution as fact; the only theory that remains is how evolution came about. In the words of Sir Peter Medawar: "Modern biologists require particular proofs of evolution no more than a modern geophysicist requires a formal proof of the roundness of the earth. .. For a biologist the alternative to thinking in evolutionary terms is to abstain from thinking altogether .... "

evolution of lower creatures to man came about. Gouldbelieves that the intellect alone resulted in man's ascent to supremacy. Gould cited C. Unnaeus, whose classical system of classification classified man along with the animals. Yet, as Gould pointed out, Linnaeus made one significant distinction; he classified 'the animals on the basis of physical characteristics and man on the basis of Intellectual characteristics. Leakey, however, believed that there was literally one step before man's intellectual development. That step was the ability to take steps on two legs rather than four. According to Leakey, the first bipedal ancestor of man was the most important factor in man's evolution.The remaining two scientists on the program, Edward O.Wilson and Sir Peter Medawar, work with living, dynamic aspects of science. Wilson is a sociobiologist who has done much research in the so-called social insects. Sir Peter Medawar, whose pioneer work in immunology and skin grafting resulted in a Nobel Prize for medicine in 1960, was perhaps the most adamant proponent of evolutionary thought. Assuch, his presentation seemed calculated to produce some of the more memorable statements of Nobel XVIII. Those who attended the conference hoping that a battle between Creationism and Evolutionwould emerge were in for a disappointment. If there were devout evolutionists who felt that the six speaker line-upbetteredquintessenceby one or more adamant creationists who saw one-third of the Anti-Christstanding up on the speaker's

TH-OSE WERE TH-E DAVS by Wesley Steinberg Columnist Greetings! Thanksgiving is one of those holidays which everyone recognizes and no one understands. As Americans we celebrate the successful year ofthe Pilgrimsin the new land which was later to become the United States. As Christians we honor our Lord who, out of love,has so graciouslygiven us a wonderful land of bountiful harvests and abundant wealth. Children, on the other hand, are thankful in a very differentway thankful for turkey and pumpkin pie; thankful for cartoons and holiday television specials; thankful for games, friends ... and two days' vacation from school. To me and my friends, that was a lot to be thankful for! School let out at 4:00 p.m. on a cool Thanksgiving eve some thirteen years ago. At 4:01 p.m., screams of joy could be heard reverberating down the corridors and out into the street, followed closely by the sounds of school buses leaving the premises. At 4:07 p.m. we were free at last, and by five o'clock the gang had already gathered at our secret hideout near Manistee Lake. Tibo began the meeting by announcing that the entire Club was invited to his house for a special Thanksgivingdinner, to be held the next day in his parents' garage. Afterwe

all agreed to come over, Tibo got down to the business of the day. "As you all know, the Discoverers' Club has been invited to present the skit Mich wrote in the ThanksgivingPageant tonight at school. I think everyone knows his lines, but is everything else ready? EP., how is the sound system coming? Is it set up yet?" "Allset, Tibo. I hooked it up myselfbefore coming here this afternoon." "Great." Tibo turned to George Garfield, who was sitting in the corner with his brother. "How goes the props and the costumes, George?" "They're ready, Chief.EIand I have them right here." "Fine.Then we're all set. Allwe have to do now is run through it one more time, then get down to the gym:' Tibo looked around the room. "Anyquestions?" Everyone shook their heads. "All right, let's get cracking. We've got a show to do." And what a show it was going to be' The skit we put together was about the Pilgrims' first Thanksgiving feast with the Indians. Tibo and I pl6yed the part of the Pilgrims while Elleryand George Garfield played the Indians. That left E.P. to run the sound system and take care of the lights. We had everything we needed to make a dynamite show. The audience was going to love us' . We were sure of it At least, that's what we

thought. What actually happened later that evening will undoubtedly "fall" down in history as the worst fiasco mortal man has ever witnessed. Everything went wrong, from the moment we stepped out onto the stage until the time we left it! In ten short minutes we managed to turn a serious

melodrama into something out of an Abbott and Costello movie. What a night! The skit opened with the Pilgrimscoming in from the woods carrying a large turkey we borrowed from my grandma's freezer. Tibo and I carried the bird between us strapped to a long pole resting on our shoulders, the way they do in the movies. The Indians joined us onstage carrying baskets of corn. What happened next was like a nightmare. We approached the Indians with our hands raised in the traditional greeting. It was then that Itripped over a loose board on the stage floor, a feat which sent me slamming straight into Tibo (who walked ahead of me), and then into George and Ellery.We all hit the dirt at about the same time, corn all over the place, and our turkey bumping along the stage toward the audience, landing with a plop onto a fat lady's lap. Startled, the woman jumped up screaming, shock written all over her face. Tibo ran to help her and slipped on an ear of corn, sliding off the stage and into the fat lady. They both looked so pathetic lying

there among the people in the front row, trying desperately to pick themselves up. The audience, in the meantime, simply roared with laughter. One man laughed so hard he fellover in his chair, tears streaming down his cheeks.' People began running about. trying to lend a hand. The entire room was in a state of utter chaos! Puzzled as to what had happened, E.P. came out of hiding backstage to help" clean things up," as it were. After a few minutes. things were again set in order - the stage was Cleared, the people in the front row were helped to their feet, and the fat lady was restored to her seat, flustered, but none the worse for wear. We then resumed our places onstage to somehow carry on our performance - without props, without sound (the tape had snapped backstage), and without our self-respect. We were embarrassed but we plodded on, at least until the curtain fell on us. That sort of brought everything to an abrupt close. Thanksgiving can be fun at times, but I think we carried things a bit too far. I don't imagine we willever forget that awful night in November, when, for a brief moment, our world came crashing down around us literally! Ah ... those were the days!

continued from page 2 primary function ofproviding an overviewof the lifeand" effect" (as the speaker viewed it) ofCharles Darwin'swork. From that point on, Irving Stone's effect on the conference proceedings was minimal. Although admirably equipped as an author to describe Charles Darwin's lifeand work, Mr. Stone's lack of a scientific background seemed to limit the number 'and quality of his later remarks. This was particularly evident during the later question and answer periods that were interspersed throughout the conference .... although Mr. Stone may have set the tone of the conference, in my opinion,he-very definitely was not its keynote speaker." Professor Martin Schroeder on Stephen Jay Gould ... . "Gould was the outstanding speaker on the first day of the conference. His knowledge extends far beyond the sciences into the domain of the humanities - particularly philosophy, history, and literature. His lecture evidenced his keen understanding of his audience. That insight no doubt makes him an effective apologist for Darwinian theory whether in the classroom or the courtroom. On the second day, when his contributions were limited to responses to questions, his effectiveness was diminished by his rambling answers and the manifest scorn he displayed for those holding alternative viewpoints." Profesaor Isch on Edward 0, WUson, , , "EdwardWilson'slecture on sociobiology was a restatement of many of his previous writings (including On Human Nature, 1978), Brieny, Wilson contends that the process of evolution not only shaped man's

physical appearance and mental capacities. Evolution also brought about the attitudes. values, and moral codes which are present in human society. What we would call the natural law in man's heart, Wilson calls an evolutionary development. Wilson's ideas lead him to an interesting conclusion: when society becomes morally lax and begins to accept as normal such things as incest or the breakdown of the family, people will experience severe psychological problems. This is because, according to Wilson, our morality has been "wired" into us by evolution as much as our ability to walk upright. Wilson's ideas are controversial, even among scientists who accept evolution. The Christian can onlyview these ideas in wonderment, reminded again of how people will believe any 'foolishness as iong as it is not found in the Bible. Conscience, they say, is an outmoded medieval idea;sociobiology,however, isthe frontier of science. Thus the words of Paul again become true: Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools." Professor

Levorson on Richard Leakey" , "Richard Leakey is an articulate, personable speaker, Heknows his subject very well, is in command of his data, and is at ease presenting it to his audience. His assertion that evolution is an undisputed fact demonstrates that he has accepted, in faith, a frameworkof ideas that rejects the Genesis account of God's Creation. Since Mr. Leakey's premises are accepted widely in today's thought world, it is vitallynecessary that we at DMLe, both students and teachers, know and understand his ideas. It is not enough to read or hear what our

people say about evolution;we need to hear and read the sources firsthand In that respect the experience of NobelConference XVIII was stimulating and worthwhile." Professor

Boehlke

Sir

Peter

Medawar , ,

"When a person tells you that he can only think in terms of evolution, it is tempting to stop listening Nobel Prize winner Peter Medawar, however, had a very valuable and candid presentation on the evidences for evolution. He granted that the "so-called 'proofs' of evolution ... are extremely feeble and, if pushed alternative explanations could probably be found for any of them." The value ofevolution and reason for its acceptance is rooted in. its having permeated the whole of biology. "The evolutionary notion has entered so deeply into the fabric of our thought," says Medawar,"that it makes a nonsense to try to confute it." Medawar's lecture clearly supports Thomas Kuhn's thesis that the science of an age views nature through a particular set of colored glasses. Recognition of this general acceptance of a particular framework of thought in science without proof is an important idea for Christian educators. To argue about the particular "proofs" of evolution (or Creation) is not productive, Science must be recognized as less than objective. Science is a changing, human framework of thought The data are not important; what you do with them is paramount and depends on your outlook. Medawar's paper was a valuable insight into the nature of science. Our students need to realize that the acceptance of science depends on many subtle factors. Sir Peter Medawar'5 pre-

sentation was excellent in probing the basis of scientific resistance to alternate explanations. He can only think in terms of evolution. We would be in the same camp except that it is by faith that we believe that the world was created by God (Heb. II :1)." Professor Buss on Jaroslav Pelikan, , . "Dr. Jaroslav Pelikan was selected as the theologian to address Nobel Conference XVIII. The title of his address, "Darwin's Legacy: Emanation, Evolution, and Development," was impressive and suggested that he might in some way. as a wellknown theologican, lead the conference in coming to grips with a burning issue - the relationship between science and theology today. However, there was little in the address that spoke directly to the relationship between science and theology or the present conflict between a scientific evolution and a Scriptural creation. Much of the address dealt with a contemporary of Charles Darwin, a clergyman by the name ofJohn Henry Newman. In all of his writings CardinalNewman made no reference to the theory of Darwinian evolution, but the theological" evolution" of one man appeared to be the catalyst for a general discussion of the evolution and development of doctrine in the Christian church generally. Dr. Pelikan came closest to relevancy perhaps when he spoke of the first chapters of the Scriptures as presenting myths. But even here issues were cloudy and one could only surmise that the speaker does not accept the Scriptural account of creation in Genesis as historical fact. One had to leave Dr. Pelikan's address wondering not only exactly what he said,but especially why he said it at Nobel XVIII."

A NEW ARRIVAL ON CAMPUS by Karen Siewert Staff Writer The DMLC Library has received a new arrival of children's literature books from Milton College, Milton, Wisconsin. The entire collection of Milton's library was purchased by Wisconsin Lutheran College. Because of financial reasons, Milton College was forced to close. Then DMLC had the opportunity to purchase the children's books (which numbered about 2500) from Wisconsin Lutheran College. Milton College had a very good collection of some wellknown authors. Some of the

books were very old and valuable. Several of the books that were received are duplicates of books already on the shelves in the DMLC Library. Many of the books are dated closer to the originals than those held at DMLC. This makes the collection unique and valuable. Green Fairy Book, and Grimms Household Tales are two examples of valuable books that were purchased. At the present time there are about six hundred books that have been processed, cataloged, and shelved ready for circulation. While this process of cataloging is in effect. many of our books and their duplicates will

probably not be on the shelves because they are both being entered into the Library of Congress system. The Library regrets this inconvenicnce. The students that are involved in the process of computer processing are Karen Kell, Amy Pappenfuss, and Coralee Kolbow, Sherie Scherzberg, and Eileen Schulz are busy processing the books and preparing them for circulation. Janice Kant, Karen Smith, and Amy Wenzel file the new cards. Certainly these children's books are a welcomed arrival on our campus.

NATION'S THANKSGIVING PROCLAIMED IN 1863 The first national Thanksgiving Proclamation setting the last Thursday in November as the day to be observed was issued by President Lincoln on October S, 1863. Prior to that time, Thanksgiving was observed intermittently. The first New England "day of thanks" was proclaimed by Governor Bradford of the Massachusetts Bay Colony in the autumn of' 1621. However, there were other such "firsts": Recent research has revealed that Captain John Woodlief and his 37 fellow pioneers held a day of thanksgiving when they landed .by Berkeley, Virginia. on December 4, 1619. And on the rockbound coast of what today is Mai~e, another groti"p of colonists gave "thanks" when their two

Then. 12 years later. President Washington proclaimed November 26, 1789, as a day of "thanksgiving" for the adoption of the Constitution and for "general benefits and welfare of the nation." But Thomas Jefferson discontinued the observance because he judged it a "rnonarchical practice." President Madison, h?w~ve.r,repeated Washington's proclarnation. In later years, the individual states

honored the day or not, as their whims dictated - until Sarah Josepha Hale came along. As editor of the highly successful 19th century magazine,Godey:ÂŤ Lad.v's Book. she used her energy and influence for ;1Gyears on behalf of a national day for giving thanks. Her last editorial. which appeared in her magazine on September, IR63, found its mark. A copy of it on Abe Lincoln's desk spurred the President to heed her Civil War plea that North and South "lay aside enmities and strife on that day." Lincoln agreed, and the last Thursday of ,.November was set aside, as Lincoln put it, "as a day of thanksgiving and praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the heavens."

Shelly M. On Oct 31, 1517,Martin Luther nailed the 95 theses to the door of the Castle Church, that sparked the beginning of the Reformation. He was angered at the sale of indulgences and publicized it. In 1521,Luther was excommunicated and declared an outlaw by Pope Leo X. But Frederick the Wise, the Prince of Saxony, took him to the fortress of Wartburg, where Luther translated the Bible irtto German. Luther died in 1546,but in 1555the Pope recognized Lutheranism, that which Luther worked for all his life. The Reformation, to me, means a freedom to worship God in the true way, and not be forced to worship falsely. Anton Kaul

While most children throughout the United States consider October 31 to be Halloween, children in our Christian Day Schools remember this date as having a greater significance. The children from St, Mark's Lutheran School, In Citrus Heights, California, would like to share with you the special meaning of October 31. (The children's papers were not received in time to include them in last month's issue of the Messenger.) The Reformation means that Martin Luther wrote the 95 theses to stop the indulgences. If he had not wrote that and told the people about it then right now we might be buying indulgences. Martin Luther also wrote and translated the Old and New Testament into German so the common

people could read it. Reggie Whileother children are putting out their pumpkins and getting ready for Halloween, Lutherans all over the world celebrate Ihat day for a different reason. It is the day our founder Martin Luther posted the 95 theses on the door of the Castle Church. This says that the selling of indulgences was wrong. This was the beginning of the Reformation. God used Luther to set us straight We should think about Luther's struggle with the Roman Catholic Church on this day.

pening in those days and the rituals they had to do to be saved. In 1517 Martin Luther posted up the ninety-fivetheses on the door of the Castle Church at Wittenburg in order to stop people from buying indulgences. Luther was angry at the pope because he told people if they bought them they would be saved, but the only reason they had people buy indulgences was to get the money from it. In January 1521the Pope signed a Bullof Excommunication against Luther but because it named others too, the Bull was withheld from publication until the following

Tim Krueger - Grade Three Dear Father, I thank you God for all the food we have to eat today. God I thank you for all the beautiful flowers that grow fall.That is what the Reformation means to me. Marilyn Dyer I am happy when I think of how Martin Luther tried to right what he and some other people knew was wrong in the Catholic Church. Ifhe hadn't, many innocent people might have ended up in hell, and we would probably all be going the wrong way too. Reformation means to be able to read the Bible-and get the whole truth out of it.To be able to understand and learn what your pastor is teaching you. Paula Goodridge Reformation means when Luther made his stand against the Roman Catholic Church. He was fightingfor Jesus and what he did for us, which is really true. Gary Harmon - Grade Seven Martin Luther posted the 95 theses on the door of the Castle Church. When he posted them that meant that he believed in one true God. And you don't need indulgences or good works to get to heaven. He opened a whole new life for Christians. Ifit wasn't for him we might still be the way they were, buying indulgences and doinggood works to go to heaven. Sandy Thorpe - Grade Seven

Carolyn Dyer - Grade Eight The Reformation is important to me because before the Reformation. Europe had been held together by the universalism of the Catholic Church. Luther knew that if people bought indulgences they would not be saved. The Church preached that if you didn't buy them you would go to hell. Selling of the indulgence was a way to raise money. On Oct. 31, 1517, Luther posted the ninetyfivetheses on the door of the Castle Church in Wittenburg. Luther believed and preached you are saved by Jesus Christ, not by indulgences. That's why it's important to me Tara - Grade Eight The Reformation is very important because that's when Martin Luther posted the ninety-five theses on the Castle Church door on Oct. 31,1517.The ninety-fivetheses stated that the selling of indulgences were against God. Luther said that men could only be saved through Jesus Christ. And we Christians believe this. Lutherans call this day Reformation Day. Other people know this day as Halloween.

health related problems. After the blood was efficiently and pain. lessly collected by competent Red Cross volunteers, it was sent to the processing

plant at 5t Paul. Here it was tested for transmissible disease and separated into its various components. These were then frozen for preservation purposes. After being stored for no more than 30 days, they were distributed to 157 hospitals in the Minnesota, WISconsin,Iowa, and North and

South Dakota area Phil Hackbarth, who was in charge of organizing the drive, was very pleased with its success. "The response was terrific. Every little drop of blood is so precious, that even just one donor would have made it worthwhile." He continued to say, "DMLCis the only school in Minnesota in which the students themselves set up the whole process. We also have the best turnout percentage of those that registered."

For those of you who did not or could 'not contribute this time, the next drive willtake place sometime in early May.The Red Cross depends on the generosity- of caring volunteer donors for all the blood it distnbutes, Why not give a gift which will cost you nothing, but isvery precious to the person who receives it

AT SPORTS PAUL'S PERSPECTIVE ON SPORTS* A GLANCE

*OR: A QUICK GLANCE AT FIRST QUARTER SPORTS ACTIVITIES by Paul L Danuser Sports Editor

Let's begin this edition of"Perspective" by saluting our conference-championshipwinningwomen's volleyballteam. Bydefeating Concordia-College of St. Paul by a 3·1 margin, the Lady Lancers clinched the first title of new league competition. At press time, the women had one more match before heading into state competition. The team is involved in a new format this year and the players have a very positive outlook on their chances for a superior performance on the state level of competition. The team compiled a 7·1 won/loss record in league competition and a 12·13 record overall, which proves that the team won the right matches when they had to. Those of you who so selflesslysacrificedyour schoolwork to witness the home matches, would probably agree with this writer that over the course of the season this team made great strides. both in team accomplishments and individual performances as well. With basically a very young team, much success was accomplished. A definite feeling of victory will travel with the team when it meets the other competition who have their sights equally set on the state championship. . Throughout the season, several names always made their way to the top of the statistical charts. Judy Putz was the ace spiker on the squad while Lynne Bitter and Adele Dietrich dished offmany sets to their teammates. Krls Clausnltzer not only provided the needed experience to the team but also was near the top of most individual categories. Also making noteworthy contributions to victories were Dania Habeck, Mary Putz, and Yvonda Beaudin. I'm sure I am not alone in wishing the DMLCLancer volleyballteam every success in their attempt to bring the state championship hardware home to our campus. The Lancer football team ended the season on a strong note. After winning only one game of the first five,the gridders came around to gain victories in two of their last three contests. Included in this was of course the second victory in as many years over Northwestern College in this year's Homecoming battle. The Lancers warmed up for their annual feud by traveling to Watertown, WI,to take on Maranatha BibleCollegeand shutting out their hosts by a score of 29·0, with Paul Lutze leading the offensive charge and hard-hitting Mark McConnlck pacing the stubborn Lancer defense. After not only seeing, but also hearing, big number 77 take cracks at opposing ball carriers, I am very thankful that he never caught me wearing a' jersey that was not maroon and gray. Homecoming activities lead to this year's battle with the Trojans. Many people wondered if last year's 22·19 victory was a fluke,but their doubts were put to an end as Kevin Kutz'. toe gave the home team all that was needed for a victory over our friendlyrivals, by kickinga 25·yard fieldgoal for a 3·0 lead It didn't hurt any that Mike Oesch scored a touchdown to seal the sweet victory by a 10·0score. We on the hill

are gearing ourselves to enjoy a domination over Northwestern, such as they once enjoyed themselves. With the first ever winning season on the line, the Lancers closed out their 1982 season by hosting tough Mt. Senario College, from Ladysmith, WI, in front of a sparce, but enthusiastic crowd. The visiting Saints jumped out to a quick lead by scoring 24 points on three touchdowns and as many 2'point conversions before the first half came to an end. Never ones to admit defeat, the Lancers took advantages of fumble recoveries by

of the season. Once again team and individual performances improved from game to game. DMLC showed that even though they were young, having only fiveseniors on the roster, which was limitedto begin with, they were a team io be reckoned with and one that will definitely be lookedat as a serious contender to compete strongly for the conference championship next year. Another area of DMLCsports not often reported on, but enthusiastically participated in, is the intramural program. As students, we are very fortunate to have such

(two at the very least) player on the squad. I know what you're saying. If this guy is so good at tennis, why isn't he on the tennis team beating up on people from other schools? Maybeit's because he is a near.400 hitter on the baseball team and a "smooth as silk" center fielder. I really feel sorry for a guywho has to giveup stardom in one sport for another. But I guess someone has to sacrifice so others of us get a chance to participate. As a further note, this year's tennis tourney featured a record 30 participants for the champion to get through, and despite the fact that everyone always seems to work a little harder to beat the reigning title holder, Pieper has yet to lose as much as a set.in any of his matches. My hat is off to you, my friend. In conclusion, I would like to say that response to the first "quote quiz" was

somewhat less than underwhelming. I suspected as much. since there was no prize to

What fonn and style this putter demonstrates. Joel Mattek and John Melso to score touchdowns on runs of five yards by quarterback Mike Oesch and a three-yard burst by freshman Phil Petermann, Neither of the two-point converslon attempts proved successful, but at least the hosts narrowed the game to its finalscore of 24·12. Tributes are to be paid to the rough defense which held potent Mt Senario to no score in the second half, even without McCormick, who certainly made his presence felt in the first half.Allseason long the men worked hard, and that dedication paid off by their performance of the last half

an extensive program in which to enjoy competition and Christian fellowshipon the athletic fields. We have tennis, on the beautiful new courts, softball, football, basketball coming up shortly, and others to test our athletic and mental mettles. On the afore-mentioned topic of intramural tennis, Iwould liketo brieflycomment on a friend who very quietly won the men's singles title. Tim Pieper won his third straight title,as a matter of fact, by defeating Bryan VonDeylen in the championship match. This leads your writer to state that Pieper could be the number one singles

keeping God's nature warm.

Fall agaiti'is with us now, and winter is in the air. 77", teaoes ar~ falling from the trees; and snow will soon appear.

Holidays are coming upon us, and we're all awaiting their charm,

I wish someone would call me, to ask me how I am, or how I am not. Just tell me that they still love me. that they still remember. and not forgot.

DEAR·DANA Why is it that most chapel organists do not play the "Amen" at the end of a hymn: We end our prayers, confessions, canticles. invocations, and benedictions with the word "Amen." The writers of our hymnal also intended the hymns to be ended with "Amen" since it is written after every hymn.

not allow convention, tradition. or personal preference to make us over-concerned. The Lutheran Hymnal we use should not be viewed as a prescription for use of the "Amen." The compilers and editors 01 the 1941 hymnal chose to prepare a musical "Amen" for each hymn to assist the organist should such an ending be desired. No consistent pattern - whether or not an "Amen"

Hymns also are prayers, confessions. invocations, and benedictions. Has it become inappropriate or out of fashion to conclude our hymns with the "Amen"? We realize the Bible does not prescribe a set liturgy by which we praise our Lord. Yet it has become an item of concern to us that playing the "Amen" has been omitted more

hymnals. either past or contemporary, in which I looked. The various types of hymns prayers of confession, supplication, benediction, or thanks - may not neces- sarily conclude suitably with an "Amen." Interestingly, doxologies generally end with an "Amen."

Dear Concerned, The most significant statement you make is that the Bible does not prescribe a set liturgy by which we praise our Lord Whether or not we conclude our hymns kth an "Amen" is an adiaphoron, Our chapel and congregational organists, in conjunction with chaplains and pastors, exercise their Christian liberty in this gray area I understand your concern and feel it is very valid However, concern over such a matter of adiaphora must be viewed with caution. Because the "Amen" is neither commanded nor forbidden by God, we must

DEAR DANA, Congratulations to the Lancer football team and coaching staff for another glorious victory over the NWC Trojans. Homecoming afternoon was well spent watching those proud Trojans struggle for any success against our Lancers - and then walk away humbly in defeat. After many years of defeat, DMLC now has its chance to hold its head high. Regardless of the overall insignificance of such an athletic contest, the DMLC victory over NWC promoted school pride and spirit and knocked a few of those Watertown boys from their lofty perches. Thanks guys - I'll always be proud to be a loyal Lancer fan. Dave Schroeder

AT DMLC by Cindy Lehman

As the Friday night overture ended and , the curtains parted, the audience felta tingle of excitement The musical Irene was about to debut on DMLC's stage. Throughout opening night's performance and the others to follow,the work of the last couple months by the actors, director, producer, and crews impressed all who watched the spectacular

show. Taking place in New Yorkon the verge of the roaring twenties ... the story told how a sweet Irishgirlnamed Irene found that there isan excitingworld to be discovered beyond Ninth Avenue.'While innocently tuning the piano at the home of Donald S.Marshall Ill,a JIlillionaire from Long Island she iands herself a job as a model. Due to Donald's cousin Ozzie, who was a bit odd' and forgetful,Madame Lucywas to have his own dress shop on Fifth Avenue. With her two friends Helen,and Jane, Irene is taught the poise of the rich by Madame Lucy, a scene which brought the house down with laughter. The three girlspass as contessas in Madame Lucy's creations at a ball at the Palais Royale. Irene, however, wants more from Donald than a business relationship, so she leaves the ball.Donald finallyrealizes his love for Irene after Helen and Jane teach hi'9 the tantalizing "Great Lover Tango." Having been invited to Mrs.Marshall's garden party for the showing of more of Mdm. Lucy's creations, Mrs.O'Dare also enters the world of the rich.: The two mothers both agree their children should be married, while, ironically, the two lovers are kissing and making up in another section of the garden. On top of all the farse and reality, Mrs. O'Dare and Madame Lucy discover that they are long lost lovers. During the style show, the real Irene O'Dare is introduced, and to everyone's delight, Donald

announces their engagement It was the typical romance all love to see. In this light- hearted comedy of rich-boyloves- poor- girl plot, the audience was simply delighted during the performances on November twelfth through the Iourteenth. Due to bad weather, the number of people in attendance only estimated to be about 2100. Although the number was a little lower than normal, all who were able to attend thought it was wellworth their effort Even though the· plot itself was interesting, the songs and choreography definitelyprovided the icingon the cake. The actors captured the audience's attention with the robust Irish jig and the breath· taking Riviera Rage, Then there were the twirling pianos, graceful waltzes, the tango, and general movements that blended the musical into a spectacle of wonder: Althougheveryone involved put many hard hours into the musical, the hard timesand especially the many; many good timeswere well worth the effort Lois Abel,' the director, said this was one of the most enjoyable musicals she has ever worked with. Just watching the performers, one could tell they were having fun. Another musical season at DMLC,tras come to a close. It is sad to see something one has strived for reach its destiny and fade away as another memory. Irene willhold a special place in the hearts of all who gave of their time and shared in this musical

The Abbey Minstrels are a talented group of music majors from the College of St Scholastica in Duluth.The group is made up of faculty members and Minstrel alumni who dress in the costumes of that time period and play music from as far back as the 1300's on authentic instruments. They perform both instrumental and vocal numbers. One unique quality of the group is the use of improvisation. Because early composers did not specify certain instruments or voices' for the parts in the piece, performers were expected to select from what was available. The pejformers must also be able to play at least two or three instruments. . The director of the group, Shelley Gruskin, was a long-time New York Pro Musica member and a renown recorder and flute virtuoso 'before he took the director position in 1978. Before that time the group was under the direction of Mary Lindheimer and Sister Monica Laughlin,the founders of the Abbey Minstrels. St Scholastica's Abbey Minstrels have performed for audiences all over the world They have appeared at the Minnesota Renaissance Fair, the University of Toronto and .the Kartnerstrasse in. Vienna Their concerts feature German music from the Renaissance and early Baroque periods.

11-19-82 by Miriam Zimmermann Editor-in-Chief My roommate! I won't ask what kind of feelings this sentence brings to mind Rather, allow me to encourage your feelings to be entirely positive if they aren't already. Let's highlight your roommate's good points (I'm sure there are some). Does she or he make an effort to be quiet in the morning when you don't have flrst hour, or when you're in bed first at night? poes your roommate show concern when you are sick?"Does your roommate provide an ear to listen to your problems or worries? Does he or she compliment you when you feel insecure? Does your roommate encoutage you to tackle that mountain of homework? Does your roommate write "Have a good day" on your memo board? Does he or she offer ideas when your brain has run dry? Is there ever a bowl of popcorn waiting for you when you come back from the library at ten p.rn.? Does your roommate ever pat you on the back and say "I'm proud of you"? " , Let's not talk about our roommates. Let's talk about you and me. Do we ever do the things mentioned above or are we too wrapped up in ourselves? This doesn't apply to just roommates, either. Everyday we come in contact with many people. We see people struggling or unhappy and what do we do about it? Very often we are in a hurry, and words of encouragement that could mean so much are stifled. We might brighten someone's day by an effort that says "l care." I believe we do care and are concerned about others. Don't let this hurried world prevent us from saying what we feel. Why don't we all pray for the gift of encouragement this Christmas season. If we can show our Christian love, it will be a merry Christmas.

A TRIP TO SEE MACBETH

by Connie Richter Guest Writer "Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow .... " As busy college students, we find ourselves saying these words all the time. Who would want to sacrifice precious time and money just to hear someone else say these words? On October 28, a courageous group of students skillfullyled and navigated by Professor Martin Schroeder, did just that. Weventured into the Southern Theater in Minneapolis to find a cold and somewhat primitive atmosphere that recreated perfectly the mood of Macbeth's Scotland The scant lighting.realistic costuming, and rough hewn set lent authenticity to the production. The smallness of the theater

As the third quarter rolls around, I will embark upon the experience of student teaching. While I will be temporarily relieved of my duties as Editor-in-Chief. my Assistant Editor will be taking command. Judy Dellkat, being adequately trained, will continue in my stead as the January/February and March issues of the Messenger are printed under her authority. I am certain she will do a fine job and I encourage you to recognize her when you see her work in the upcoming Messengers.

Each year the Shakespeare class takes a trip to see a famous Shakespearean drama Each student in the class writes a short reaction to the trip, and Prof Schroeder chooses the best one to be printed in the Messenger. Last year's play was Othello. This year it was Macbeth, and this was the reaction chosen for the Messenger,

created an intimacy that made the audience feel as if it were right in the palace of Macbeth. Under the direction of Bain Boehlke, the Palace Theatre Co. was superb. Macbeth (Jim Stowell) came alive and turned into a mad man before our eyes. A good noble's pride and ambition led him to his downfallas we watched Mim Solberg was .a dynamic Lady Macbeth. who changed from a cold and heartless woman to a pitiable character who actually had feelings afterall Although the play is a tragedy, it had its lighter moments too. The famed "porter scene" brought snickers to even t~ most discreet in the audience. The witches contributed some mystery and suspense to a great performance. Overall. the night was magnificent. ft was worth every cent and every minute.After all, some things can't be learned by studying. I feel that everyone who went gained something - a break from routine, an experience in fine entertainment, and a lesson on life.

EXAM WEEK by Michele Ceralo Staff Writer Twas the week before Christmas and DMLCwas in panic. Exams had begun, and students were frantic. Concert practice three days of .the week, No time for cramming -:who needs to sleep? Trees to trim. decorations to be hung. Everyone's in a hurry, isn't this fun? Girls buying mistletoe, tq kiss that guy, While he buys a Santa suit, ., trying.tohide, Everyone's-yelling, . "I want to go home!" Exams willbe over; and homeward we'll roam! But first we must study for those horrible tests, Then we can think about taking a rest And when we are home 'we can relax and have fun. After panicking so much, there's nothing else to be done! Have a restful vacation and try to sleep sound, Because next year exam time, willsoon be around

trays. Another point 01interest pertaining to the trays was the dispersion 01 the old trays to students who requested them. What would anyone want with an ole' DMLCcafeteria tray? Precisely what we wanted to know! Here are a few of the responses we got UsaJeske: Abed pan. They are ideal lor those days when a person is not feelingwell. Patty Bintz: I have mine on my wall. It looks absolutely grand! It adds that homey look! Glen Davis: DMLCletterhead station-

The two Choirs, directed by Prof. Wayne Wagner (director 01 the BellChamber, and club advisor) and Rosemarie Pechin (director of the Intermediate Choir) provided a refreshingly unique and enjoyable' musical ensemble.

TH-OSE WERE TH-E DAVS by Wesley Steinberg

.Columnist Greetings! We all know what Christmas means to us, It is a happy time, a joyous time, during which we celebrate the first coming of our Lord It is a time when Christmas bells ring in our ears as we stroll gaily down the street, shopping for gifts to present to our loved ones on Christmas morning. As we walk we see children running up and down the sidewalks, chasing each other and tossing snowballs. Other children smile happily as they semi-patiently wait in line to visit with Santa, hoping he will -still have, enough presents left when he finally gets round to them. And, ah ... the songs! Music so sweet and wonderful that it makes your heart sing every time a group of carolers passes by. Yes, we all know what Christmas means to us. But did you ever think about what Christmas means to others who only stand by and watch? You know them. You see them wherever you go - lonely people with a longing so deep within their hearts that Christmas and the happiness that goes along with it seems to be miles away from them, unreachable, a joy far beyond their grasp. My friends and I met such a person thirteen years ago, a little girl eight years old. The gang and I were walking along

Bowerman Road when we came upon the litHe girl sitting on the steps of her home, crying.

We had just come from decorating

the massive Crismon tree we helped set up at our church. We were all happy' and laughing, trying not to think about the limb I broke when I slipped off the ladder and fell into the tree or the funny looks I got from the pastor when my foot inadvertently came in contact with the star lying in a box at the foot of the tree. It didn't matter. It was Christmas Eve and the world was joyous. That is why the little girl looked so pathetic with tears in her eyes instead of a twinkle. "What's wrong?" I asked as we stepped up to the girl. "Why are you crying?" She looked up with tear- filled eyes and

shook her head "My mother is in the hospital and my dad is away on business. It's Christmas and I'm all alone." A tear streaked down her face. "Isn't there someone who stays with you?" Tibo asked "Just my aunt. She's not very (un to be with. I wish I could spend Christmas with my mom," . Ellery looked at her, sympathetically. "Yeah," he said, "It's a shame we can't bring your mother here for Christmas." It was then that. I got a brilliant idea. "Maybe we can't bring her mother here," I said, "but who says we can't take the girl to see her mother?" The guys looked at me, a puzzled expression plastered on their faces. "Look," I went on, "all we have to do is sneak her into the hospital, past the nurse's station, and into her mom's room. Simple," "Simple?" E.P. remarked. "Are you crazy? We can't sneak a little kid into a busy hospital after hours at the height of the Christmas season and not expect to get caught. What would we do then?" Tibo cut in. "We pretend we're mentally deranged and begin running down the corridors drooling and shouting things like 'Where is the bathroom?' until they let us go." . At that E.P. flashed Tibo one of his 'what are you babbling about' looks, which always made him smile.

"Why not, E.P.?" I asked. "Well, for one thing, we don't know her mom's room number." . I paused a second, then turned toward the little girl. "What is the number of your mom's room, sweetheart?" "It's 121." I looked at E.P. "Now we know what room she's in," Then George spoke up. "I' say let's do it. Who cares if we get caught? What can they do to us? Punish us for doing something nice for someone?" George definitely had a point. and all of us

dowri the cori-idor firJt:'U lie cduld'get through without the nurse noticing him, the rest of us would stand a better- than- average chance. He strolled nonchalantly down the hall and right past the nurse, We waIted in breathless anticipation of a "Halt! Who goes there?", but nothing happened. Tibo motioned for Ellery next. Still nothing. After him came George, and I thought it would all be over in a matter of seconds. George often had a Iondness for mucklngthings up. But he made it through without a mis-step, The last to go were E.P. and I, rolling the gurney carrying Marcia between us and trying to look "professional." We were

almost past the desk when the nurse suddenly looked up. We halted abruptly, unsure as to what to do. Tibo silently motioned us to keep going, but we couldn't move. Our feet were frozen to the floor, . Finally, the nurse went back to her work and we moved on, unnoticed and quite relieved We made it! The reunion in room 121 was something to see. When Marcia jumped off the gurney with a tag tied to her toe, clad in a green hospital gown, with five twelve-old doctors in attendance behind her, her mother's mouth nearly dropped through the floor. She was also surprised when we brought out a bag of goodies and a small gift Tibo swiped from underneath his own Christmas tree at horne and placed it on a tray before her. She just looked at us - speechless. We left quietly while they hugged one another and made our way down the hall towards the main entrance. Suddenly, a voice rang down the corridor behind us. "Just a moment, please!" It was the nurse. We were doomed. We all turned and faced the woman coming toward us, trying to 'keep our "professional" composure no matter what. "What are you boys doing here dressed this way? What is going on?" We stood there for what seemed like an eternity trying to think 01 something to say when Marcia and her mother came up. "Everything is okay, Mrs. Simpsori. Theboys here just came,to bring T~J "I!,~nderM Christmas present - my i:laugflter.' went through all this, for Marcia, to help' make her Christmas happy .• Couldn't. we 'excuse them this time? Itis 'christmas."" , ' , The nurse looked at' her, "then at us. "Well," she began, "I.guess we can look the other way .,,: She paused. "This time." With that she smiled and led all of us to the ·hospital cafeteria for cookies and milk. That particular Christmas will be hard to forget. None 01 us was ever quite the same

knew it - even E.P. We then proceeded to organize our plan of attack. The raid was set for later that evening. The hospital didn't look all that difficult to break into, but then that's what the Romans said of Masada The entranceway fronted the main corridor down which we had to go to reach Marcia's mother. (The little girl told us her name on the way to the hospital.) The only obstacle was the nurse's station on the lefthand side of the corridor. The six of us looked bleakly ahead Tibo called our attention to a' supply closet just off to our right "I thhik we'll find exactly what we 'Ileed in here," he said, "Mich. you and Ellery help me search for surgical gowns and caps for allof us. George, you and E.P. can .look for a gurney or a wheelchair or something." He pointed down the corridor to the left of the main entrance. "I think I saw one down there as we came in." Operation Christmas Eve was on its way. We quickly gathered all the necessary items and when George and E.P. returned with the gurney, Tibo began fitting everyone with caps, gowns, and masks. Within five minutes we were finished. We loaded Marcia on the gurney and covered her with a large green' sheet, leaving only her feet to stick out of the end, the way they do in the movies. For an added effect, George tied a mortician'. tag to Marcia's toe and bade her fie still. Since. Tibo was the tallest, he started

CHRISTMAS PLANS FOR PROFS by Jane Zimmerman Staff Writer The long-awaited Christmas vacation is almost here, and DMLC students are full of excitement as they make their holidy plans.

It is with mixed feelings that .1put together this, the last official Poor Dohrn's Almanac. As a prelude I thought that I would share with you a brief history 'Ofthe almanac. In February 'Of 1977 the first issue of Poor Dohrn's Almanac appeared in "The Titan Times," the school newspaper 'Of Mich. Luth, High School, It continued to appear in the "Times" until June, 1978, when the author graduated There was then a lay-off 'Of one- year during which the author adjusted to college life, Then, in September 1979, Poor Dohrn's Almanac made its first appearance in the DMLC Messenger. It became a regular for the next two years, but disappeared for the first semester of 1981 during which time the author was 'On a fact finding excursion, The almanac carne back in January, 1982, and has continued until this issue. Contrary to popular opinion, I do not make up these facts, nor do I go to great lengths to research and find these facts, I have nine resource books from which I have drawn information for POQr. Dohm's Almanac. At the end of this article I will reveal these sources so that those who are interested can find odd facts to their heart's content. In closing I would like to thank all those

A GLANCE

AT SPORTS

PAUL'S PERSPECTIVE ON SPORTS by Paul L Danuser Sports Editor With winter closely upon, liS, many people's thoughts tum to indoor activities. Sure, it was fun to sit at the Bowland watch our football team play on those beautiful Saturday afternoons. Of course it was enjoyable to cheer for the women's cross country and men's golf teams as they went against our competition. But' let's face it, how many of us would want to sit outside during a blizzard to watch a bunch of guysor gals run around shooting a basketball? ' This writer would like to take one last oppartunity to acknowledge arid applaud the participants and coaches of this year's fall sports: Paul Boehlke of thewomen's cross country team, Fred Wulff and Darvin Raddatz who headed the men's golf team, Dennis Gorsline who led the footballteam to another win over 'Northwestern; Watertown, and Judy Wade who took her women's volleyball team to a second place finish in the state tournament

So now our minds are turned to what we guard position. According to the men's hope will be a successful basketball season coach, and I'm sure most coaches would for both men and women. Gorslinewillagain agree, cuts are made "for the future of the be the h~a:d~oach for the varsity and willbe â&#x20AC;˘ team." That is very obvious in that twelve aided this year by Gary Huebner, who will. freshmen made this year's team, though help out with the junior varsity. Bob Rebers many willbe limitedto junior varsity, whilea and Don Linskens will help everyone by junior and senior were among those cut being, managers for the team. Barb from this year's squad The casual observer Leopold is again the head coach for the has to feel badly for Dan Schultz, who women's team. Jim Neujalir and Keith devoted three very good years to the Lancer organization and Tim Pieper, who not only Wordell are the, equipment managers. One of the problems facing the head performed well on the Lancer team for two coach in any sport comes before the regular years, but also had an outstanding high season games begin, that is, which players school career, where he ranks as the third willhave to be cut from the squad. If you ask all-time leading scorer in the city of St Paul, any coach, you would probably be told that MN, was an all-conference selection for this is the least favorite area of the job. How' three years, set a conference record by do you tell an eager player thatthere is no playing in 68 conference games, and was room on this year's squad for him/her? That recruited and offered scholarships by question posed ~ problem for both coaches several schools to play for,them, including this year as both squads had to be trimmed University of Minnesota-Duluth, Southwest Coach Gorsline especially had a rough State University and others, choosing' to ~e with it this year because he was so attend South Dakota State Universitybefore blessed 'to have a~ deal of talent at the being called to DMLC to train for the

teaching ministry. At this time, I would like to congratulate the members of this year's football team who were .honored as all-conference performers in the Upper Midwest Football Conference. Being named to the first team were Mark ÂˇMcCormick, John Sebald, Eric liel, and Kevin Kutz. Tim Bentz, John Bllevemlcht, Nate Sebald, and Paul Lutze were on the honorable mention squad One final note, which I don't feel willbe a disappointment to any of you, I will not be including any more quote-quizzes in my articles. I was very disappointed in never finding any replies either from on-campus people or those ofyou in the "real world" to the quiz.It would have been nice to get even a little response, but I unfortunately received none. Even sadder to say, I didn't get any of the cookies I so coyly hinted at. Just the same, I wish all ofyou a very happy winter and a blessed holiday season. '

VOLLEYBALL CAPTURES SECOND IN STATE

The renown DMLCColorguard

(pboto by Dave Schroeder)

LANCER BASKETBALL SEASON UNDERWAY by Paul L Danuser Sports Editor Once again the swishing of the net cords and the pitter .patter of little basketball players are upon us. Yes, my friends, the basketball season has begun. It is- at this point of the year that every team is a winner and every player is an 'all-star. Let's take a' look at this year's teams to see if those dreams. willcome about Iwas always taught to be a gentleman, so ladies first Miss Barb Leopold willagain direct the Lancerette attack as the' women's team prepares for another successful season. Leading the way for the Lancerettes willbe seniors KrIs Clausnltzer and Karla Thiesfeldt; 'juniors Chris Melso, Judy Putz and lisa Quam, who is recovering nicely from a dislocated shoulder suffered during the volleyball season; sophomores Rhonda Atchinson and KrIs Redlin; and a fine crop of freshmen Betty Carter, Laureen Jaeger, Beth Kuehl, Lori Meineke, Mary Putz, and Beth Wendland. Sophomores Mary Ellen Meeboer and Sarah Schimming are the managers for the squad Thiesfeldt, Clausnitzer, Quam, and

Atchinson are the only four returning letter winners from last year's team, but that doesn't say the Lancerettes won't be successful. There is already a lot of good competition among the players for positions on the team and there is not likelyto be one set starting line-up throughout the season, as the players are very close in ability and desire. Allin all it should be an exciting year for Lancerette basketball fans. Last year was a disappointing one for Coach Gorsline and the men's team, and everyone hopes this year will be different.. This year's squad is made up of only one senior, two sophomores, two juniors. and twelve freshmen. Gorsline is looking for stiff competition in the conference and adds. "this is an 'up' year for our conference." Conference opponents Pillsbury, Mt. Senario, Northwestern-Roseville, Concordia, and Viterbo are each losingonly one or two players from last year's squads and should have good size to go along with their experience. These are two areas where the Lancer cagers may be at a disadvantage, at least at the beginning of the season. The Lancer mentor states, however, that the

players, though young, have good potential to improve as the season goes along, and he hopes they develop a good, winningattitude early in the season. Makingup the 1982-83 Lancer team are senior Tim Torgerson, juniors Glenn Davis and Ken Lehman, sophomores Jim Ring and Scott Bleichwell, and freshmen John Melso,. Paul Scriver, Mark Koelpln, Ed Noon, Joel Burmeister, Dan Kaesmeyer, Dan Plath and brother Tom, a transfer from Northwestern-Watertown, Dave Kolander, Phil Werth, John Schlevensky, and Tim Arndt Jim Unke, presently sitting out the year is scheduled to come back to complete his training for his work in our Lord's ministry second semester and willalso add' some needed bulk to the Lancer team. Cautious optimism is perhaps the keynote for both teams. One doesn't want to make hasty predictions until the season officially gets underway, but I for one look forward to what will hopefully be successful seasons for the men's and women's basketball teams.

by Paul L Danuser Sports Editor The Lancerette volleyball team, under Coach .Judv Wade, brought home the second place trophy for their effort in this year's revised state competition. Playing with only one senior, the young Lancerettes worked their way through the loser's bracket to claimtheir position. DMLC started out on a sour note by dropping a decision to St Scholastica, but then defeated the, team from U of M-Morris and encountered St Scholastica again, this time coming out on the positive end, thrusting themselves into the championship match against St Catherine's. The Lancerettes weren't able to pull offthe victory and had to settle for second place. Withonly one player to be lost through graduation. the lady volleyballers can't be blamed if they are already looking forward to a return trip to this competition and attaining even greater :results. On the individual level, Judy Putz and Yvonda Beaudin were honored on the all tournament team. Other awards given followingthe season were Mary Putz voted the Most Improved Player, Judy Putz awarded the best defensive player, Lynne Bltternamed the best offensiveplayer and Krls Clausnltzer the Most Valuable Player. Individual statistics for the year show Clausnitzer leading the team with 56 ace serves and 207 . dig!saves, while finishingsecond on the club with 106 passes and 207 kills. Bitter paced the squad with 231 assists, Beaudinled with 130 passes, and Judy Putz tallied 265 kills and also counted for 72 blocks. On behalf of the Lancerette volleyball fans everywhere, we salute and congratulate the 1982 women's team and wish for your continued success.

We can see from the list of her many accomplishments that Elaine Bartel was very dedicated in her service to the Lord and to His children. Mrs. Bartel's attitude was one ofcaring and patience. She believed that the important part of teaching is the children themselves rather than the curriculum or the books that are used In the life of Elaine Bartel we can see an example for every one of us.

memorize the Bible,and therefore he could not pray without changing God's Word. Karle Hahn was asked by her pupils whether Professor Bauer was her father. Deb FInk, being a student teacher, had to enforce the rule of no running in the halls. One day she forgot her purse in the classroom, and quicklyran to get it.One fifth grade boy kindly reminded her that there is no running in the hall When Jayne Schwab attended an outing with a pupil's family,she dressed in the usual attire of casual occasions. When the girl came to the door to get Miss Schwab, the student exclaimed, "I did not know teachers wore jeans!" KimStrobel was unlucky enough to lose her voice during her learning experience. As the voice gradually returned, it had the tendency to squeak and crack a little. One child wanted to know if her voice was changing. Paul Wilde was very nervous when he gave his first devotion. One student tried to

reassure Paul when he told him that it was not that bad Another student did not think that was a very nice thing for him to say.The first student replied, "I did not want to tell him that it was terrible." Amy Waguer was invited to the principal's house for dinner on the very first evening of her arrival. She safely got to the principal's house. She got out of the car as the principal came to greet her. She was busily putting on her coat when the car door slammed shut It instantly locked with her keys, purse, and other belongings all held captive. The principal kindly got the door open with a coat hanger. Talk about first impressions!

I also had a humorous experience during my firstweek ofschool It proved to be a real eye-opener for my students. I was playing s6ccer, and when I kicked the ball 'it went sailing over the school's rool. They were all amazed' There are many more stories out there. Very few people can look back at their student teaching without at least one smile.

MIDYEAR GRADUATION by Karen Siewert Staff Writer "Let us hold fast the profession of our

faith without wavering." (Hebrews 10:23) was the sermon text presented by Presidenf Uoyd Huebner at the mid-year graduation ceremony on December 17, 1982. Family and friends witnessed as eight students received a Bachelor of Science in Education degree upon completion of their course of study at DMLC.Vicki Amdt, Allen Dohm, Sandra Glerach, Christiana Hains, Kelly

Kroeger, Lori Lankey, Kim Metzger, and Catherine Tyndall were this year's graduates. The class song. "Lord, As We Journey On Life's Way" was composed by Kelly Kroeger and sung by the graduates. Also an arrangement of "Lord Keep Us Steadfast in Thy Word" was performed by the College Choir under the direction of Prof. Hermanaon. We ask the Lord to guide them through their life and help them to hold fast to His teachings.

ORGAN by Cindy Lehman Staff Writer

Since he was a young boy, Craig Hirschmann was destined to become one of DMLC's best student organists. This collegejunior began to play the organ under the direction of Mrs. Shelvik at WlSCO.His instructor now is Professor Engel It was Craig's younger years, however, that Influencedt;nsdestination,Craig's lather was a Bach lover. This Baroque composer often filled the Hirschmann house with his awesome music. Also, AI Fiedler, their landlord, was a known organ builder and often times let Craig explore his shop. If there is one thing that frustrates a reporter, it is writing a review before the actuai happening. However,Craig agreed to play through the entire recital for my critique. His actual recital was held on January 30, 1983, at 3 p.rn. Down through a passage soon filledwith echoing, began Brahm's Prelude and Fugue in e minor. This Romantic era work. as is characteristic of this period, had heavy and deep chording. Craig's favorite composer is Bach; therefore, he chose a couple of his works. "How Lovely Shines the Morning Star" was beautifully arranged with the melody captured by the lower notes. With fleeting high notes, the accompaniment added a feeling of joy. The "Toccata. Adagio, and Fugue in C major" is Craig's favorite Bach work. Deep, colorful notes brought out a melody of vigor and grace in the first movement The next alternated. powerful 'energy and, subdued elegance as if telling the -story of life. The piece ended with a fugue of rich, marching quality. Haydn's "The Musical Clocks" was a delightful piece. Throughout, one could imaginethe wheels insideof the clock busily turning so the cuckoo can announce the hour. The last piece of this enjoyable recital was the "Choral in b minor" composed by Franck. Although this invigorating composition's chords suffered as if in mental anguish over a lost love. beauty and richness ran through the inner soul of the chords. The piece ended, however, in peaceful harmony.

DEAR DANA

EDITORIAL THE YEAR OF THE BIBLE by Judy Deliko: Assistant Editor Does the United States have a state religion? Some may argue yes, others no. The year 1983has been declared the Year of the Bible, and some people have taken offense, calling the declaration unconstitutional. To a certain extent their offense may be justified The constitution makes it very plain that Congress should make no laws regarding the establishment of religion in the United States, and the First Amendment also states that the government should not endorse anyone religion. By declaring a Year of the Bible,they argue, our government has, in effect, singled out Christianity as the national religion. According to the resolution made by Congress, there are seven reasons for calling 1983 the Year of the Bible: God's Word has made a contribution in shaping the United States, religious convictions originally led the early settlers to this land Biblicalteachings inspired the concepts of government that are contained in the Declaration of Independence and Constitution, many of Ournational leaders cited the influence of the Bible in this country's development, United States history shows the value of applying Scripture to life, our

nation now faces great tests, and renewing faith and trust in God through the Biblecan giveour nation strength. This seems to leave little doubt in their minds that Congress thinks th'e Bible is an important part of the American way of life. Let's look at the other side of the coin now. As Christians we can certainly understand the non-Christian point ofview,but, at the same time, I think we can be thankful that Congress decided as it did. The Bibleis veri worthy of this honor. No other book has been so important in history as the Bible has. No other book has withstood the test of time as the Bible has. No other book is the inspired Word ofGod That fact alone makes the Bible worthy of being the focus of attention for a year. As Christians we should also take a closer look at these seven reasons Congress gave for its action. Maybe it's good for us to hear a gentle reminder that our forefathers used their Bibles,and we should too. God has not givenus the Bibleonly as a reference source or textbook. He wants us to use it for our own personal study and as a source of comfort, strength, and guidance in our daily lives.,With this thought in mind, then, we should make every year a year of the Bible.

DEAR DANA, Why is the Bookstore so picky this year? They won't let us carry our books in with us and sometimes demand to see our !D's to write a check. They should be able to recognize 'a few faces. Are they having a problem with stealing or don't they trust us? After all, this is a Christian school

Dear Evaluated, Students are evaluated by professors within the classroom and by advisors and the entire faculty outside the classroom. A more, specific answer necessitates a less vague question. Your advisor isable to assist you in questions concerning academic 'evaluation.

Wondering Students DEAR DANA, l'm wondering about the reasons for spending $50,000 on a children's literature

Dear Wondering, I discussed with Miss Pam Rolloff, the bookstore manager, the various questions you posed Her reply reflected the attitude and position of the business office and bookstore to adopt policies allegedly consistent with college bookstores on campuses throughout the United States. These "picky" policies are designed to foster more efficient operation of the bookstore in its job of serving students and faculty. Miss Rolloff emphasized that she and her staff encountered no problems of theft I wonder how many other students join you in your critical wonderment of the idiosyncrasies of the bookstore. Often, ironically,policies appear to hinder students in their work rather than assist them. DEAR DANA, We often hear about student evaluation. What does it involve and how do we know where we stand in it?

reading room for our library. It seems irpnic to be spending so much money on a seemingly unnecessary luxury item, especially when our synod is strugglingwith financial 'difficulties. Can you find the justification for such a project? JU8t Can't See It Dear Can't See It, Justification for this project was found by the DMLCBoard of Control, who adopted the project and made provisions for expenditure of $50,000. Original literature and comments concerning the project stated that less than half the allotted money would be spent in buildingthe reading room. The balance is designated for purchasing children's literature. This is done in an attempt to further such a program which is necessary in training elementary school teachers,

WORKING FOR AMERICA by Kathy Hinderer Staff Writer We Americans seem to have a strange attitude about our money. It really isn't as strange as it is ridiculous.That is,we allwant our money's worth when we make a purchase, but we do not want to work hard to get the money we spend This attitude leads to a vicious circle. We are disappointed in the goods we buy, even though we ourselves may be part of the industrial system in which they are manufactured Some people might say that we had better get used to accepting inferior goods, because that isjust the way it is, and there is nothing any of us can do about it I can see how they might come to this conclusion. It is hard, on an individual basis, to accomplish anything that willhelp improve the quality of American industiy. But if all of us work together, perhaps we can make a difference. So, what can we do? Ifwe are unsatisfied with the quality of goods made i~ America and bought in America, then we, as the makers and buyers of these goods; are the ones that must do something to remedy the situation. It may sound too Simplifiedand over-obvious, but this is the way Iwould put it: We Americans should Insist on higher quality goods from Our industries. As consumers, we insist on higher quality by buying only the better quality goods we can afford In order to do this, we must educate ourselves in the area of consumer spending. There .are business magazines, specialty magazines and other publications that do excellent tests and comparisons of different goods offered for sale by various companies. If we learn how to make wise purchase decisions, Wewillget our money's worth when we buy something, and the competition will be forced to offer higher quality at a lower price ifthey wish to remain in business. We can also make our opinions on present quality standards known to the

1983

manufacturer by writing to their consumer relations department, and to the government by writing to the various consumer agencies. Lest we all try to push the blame for inferior workmanship onto "those bums in Detroit" or "those nuts in New York,"let us remember that many of us who complain are actually part of the production chain ourselves. So, as producers there is much we can do to improve quality, also. We all need to take some pride in our work, whatever it may be. We work for our companies, not against them. If we keep in mind that the steel we forge today may find its way into the car we buy tomorrow, perhaps it will have a good effect on the 'work we do. As employers, we can urge our employees to do quality work, both by our examples and by various incentive pro. grams that might be sponsored by Our companies. If we are willing to work hard for our wages, and then spend our earnings wisely, we willbe doing our part for our country. If we cansatisfy ourselves with lower wages and keep prices down, perhaps we can slow down inflation and ease that drain on our national economy. We could see the day when American goods would once more have that competitive edge on the worldwide market which they seem to have lost I think we would all benefit ifwe became a little more idealisticabout our work and our spending. Working together, we could help stabilize our declining economy. We would gain more personal satisfaction, also. There is always a sense of pride in a job well done. So I say: Let's allwork together. By working hard and buying wisely, we can help our country and help ourselves.I think America ,is still worth a try.

TH-OSE WERE TH-E DAVS by Wesley Steinberg Columnist Greetings! If there is any season of the year worth enjoying, it has to be winter. You can do so many things in the winter months you just can't possibly do the rest of the year. One of them is freezing. (You can't do that in the summer!) Or ifshivering isn't your ace inthe hole, you could build a snowman or throw snowballs at people you don't like.Âˇ1fyou're the daring Roger Moore type, skiingmay be just the thing to lift your spirits high, and your health insurance premiums even higher. Maybe skating or ice hockey is your cup of tea How do I know!? I'm only speculating! But whatever you like to do during winter, the opportunities are everywhere for you to have fun here in the frozen North. Of course, to' experience the optimum in winter fun, you simply must try sledding. This is, was, and always has been my favorite snow activity. The Discoverers' Club always met on BillygoatHill every day after school to go sledding.YVewould trudge up the slope clad in boots, scarves, caps, jackets, and two pair of corduroys, dragging our toboggans behind 'us. Our main goal was to reach the bottom of the hill ahead of the other guys, hopefully without hitting the trees skirting tioth sides of the slope. That, in itself,was a trick. I knew from experience. One day the gang decided to hold the race 01 the century. We lined up at the top 01 the hill,Tibo, George, Elleryand r. E.P.held the stopwatch and judged the race. The object was simple: cross the finish line with the best time. But there was a trick to it Each of us was required to make three,

timed runs down the slope. The first was a standard slide - hop on, push ofI, and hang on for <'learlife. The second was a little trickier: slide down the hill - sideways. lf we righted ourselves at any time during the run or if we happened to crash anywhere along the way our time would stop and the next person would take his tum. (To insure fairness the elapsed time would then be multiplied by three.) The third trial was the worst We were required to (gulp) slide down the hill backwards, under the same conditions as the previous run. Upon completion of the race, our three times would be tallied and averaged together into one overall score. The person with the fastest time was the winner. The whole thing seemed so simple at flrst, but later turned into the biggest complication modern man has ever witnessed TibObegan the first run with an excellent slide, reaching the bottom in 7.B seconds. I followed with 7.9 seconds, rather good for me. George and Elleryeach got 7.7seconds. So far, it looked as though the Brothers Garfieldwere ahead That didn't sit too well , with Tibo, however, who always felt he had to be first in everything. But Ifiguredhe'd get over it The second run was a bit more interesting.George went first this time, taking a time of B.2 seconds. It was difficult keeping the toboggan on an even keel while sitting sideways, but George did it. Frankly, Lwas Quite surprised Judging by the look on his face, so was Tibo. Not to be outdone by anyone, Tibo burst down the hillnext ina blindingspray ofsnow and ice, only to land on his keesterwhen his toboggan tipped over hallway down. His

time ceased at.4.1 seconds, givinghim a total heading for the trees. At least this time I had of 12.3 seconds. The guys roared, with the good sense to jump off before I hit laughter as Tibo made his way back up the anything. My toboggan, however, wasfllt slope. Hewas Quiteupset, but he didn't say a quite as lucky as I was. By the looks of it, it word definitelyneeded a doctor. But my time was I came next and fared little better than better - 10.9seconds.

GLIMPSES THROUGH CHILDRENS EYES by Janet Kindt Staff Writer This Minnesota winter certainly hasn't been typical;we only have ten inches ofdirty snow on the ground instead of fifteen. It's cold and windy whenever we're walking between the dorms and classes. We can always findplenty to complain about when it comes to winter weather. But Ithink winter was made for children - they love it! If winter is getting you down, get some ideas for fun in the snow from these 1st, 2nd, 5th, 6th, and Sth graders fromApostles Lutheran School in Billings,Montana Ilike winter in' Montana because ... Ican make snowmen and snowballs and go snow riding on your bike, or motorcycle. I can even do spinouts. I can have a snowball fightwith mydad Plus snow is reallygood to eat And its fun to go sledding and ice skating. Also Jesus was born in the winter:

We celebrate Christmas in the winter. And because we don't have school for 11 days. Stephen Riddle - Grade 6 There's lots to do like making snowmen, going sledding, ice skating, and taking trips. Sometimes we have no school, and we can be with our family and friends and say prayers, Brent Phillips - Grade 5

snowball fights. Ilike to go sledding, 'Angle Saylor- Grade I You can go ice skating, and when it is cold I get hot chocolate. Colleen Quinn - Grade 2 Ican make snowmen. Ican make angels in the snow. Ican go ice skating. Winter is fun. Todd Badger - Grade I

Ienjoy sledding in the parks on big hills. I also enjoy going ice skating at the park and meeting new people. Ilike to wake up in the morning with the ground covered with snow. And Ilike bundling up to keep warm. Deanne Graves - Grade 8

There is plenty of snow to go skiing, and sledding with my friends down the park hills. Ilove to go ice skating, and it has to be pretty cold for ice to freeze. When the snow is wet it's fun to have snowball fights, and to build snow lorts. AIterI'mall cold Iliketo sit bythe flre with a cup of cocoa

Ican make a snowman Ican sled on the ice, and I can play with my dog, Goldie. MarIe 000100 - Grade 2

go skiing on Red Lodge Mountain. On weekends we go sledding in the park. Sometimes we go ice skating too. Myneighbors let me-go snowmobiling with them. Ialso love the mountains when they are covered with snow and the trees with inches of snow on them. The ground is like a blanket of white. It's really beautiful Andrea Leersseo - Grade 8 So put aside your homework. Go skiing with DMLC's Ski Club. Get your friends together and take advantage of New Ulm's indoor and outdoor fce skating rinks. Ask Prof. Schroeder if you can borrow his toboggan But, please, take some advice from a casualty: Don't go traying down Herman's hill. Enjoy winter while you can - you might get a call to Florida.

SEEING AS A CHILD SEES by.Patti Zahn Staff Writer If you remember back to your childhood

years you can probably recall the fun times you enjoyed, the ideas and concepts you wondered about (like how this or that could . be), and the hopes and dreams you had for the future. On Sunday, February 6, at 2:00 and 7:00 p.m. the Reader's Theater will refresh your childhood memories in their presentation, "See as a Child Sees ... The Joy, The Wonder, and The Hope." Several selections of mini-skits and readings centered around the ideas and lifestyles of children will be given by Reader's Theater's members Sue Benzel, Usa Buchholz, Michele Ceralo, Dawn Kreuke, Ellyn Wilkens, Deb Roemhlldt,

and Paula Robinson. This year's director, junior BeckyBledenbender, comments on the upcoming 'presentation, "The enthusiasm we have going willreally help it ... the time, effort, and talent will really make it a good show," Reader's Theater is a relatively young organization, started just three years ago. Performances in the past have been "Men and Women Boys and Girls" in 1981, and "Communication Links" last year. So, if you'd like to re-live the experiences of being a child - like pestering others around you, or worrying about your permanent teeth coming in - plan on attending one of this year's Reader's Theater performances.

BROTHERS AND SISTERS by Sheryl Rausch Staff Writer

On Friday,January 14,the DMLCcampus family was privileged to have a visit from three artists from the award-winning Children's Theatre Company of Minneapolis. These three artists and their director presented an evening performance oftheir originalplay,Brothers and Slaten, in the Academic Center Auditorium. This performance was accompanied by an afternoon workshop in the Centennial Gym. The workshop consisted of audience participation in imaginary situations which they acted out through pantomime. Onlookers were also given the opportunity to ask any questions which they had concern-

ingthe theatre. All who attended considered ita very positive and enjoyable experience in learning how to express themselves without fear or hesitation The drama itself proved to be an enchanting and delightful portrayal of two children Daniel and Kristin, in which it explored the icys and pains of childhood as .seen through their eyes. While "cleaning" the attic one stormy afternoon, the two young people discover a large trunk COiltaining many interesting remnants of the past These aII-but-forgotten cast-offs fascinate them and lead them into the world of their imaginationswhere dreams become reality and reality becomes a dream And as , often happens with children, the competi-

CHRIST'S GOSPEL SPREAD AT HOME Janette Schmeichel Slaff Writer

When someone mentions mission work, what do you think or! Does some mission team in Africa or Japan or on some small island come to your mind? 1hope that is not the only thought that comes to your mind There is so much mission work that needs to be done right in our own back yards. There are so many people right here in the United States who do not know Jesus Christ as their Savior, and YOUmight be just the person who can bring that saving message to them. Rev, Lany Zweig. Rev. Robert Kleist, and Rev. Martin Petermann all work with missions here in the United States. They were all asked to come and share their experiences with us at the 1983MissionFair which was held in the Academic Center Auditorium on February 10th.

Rev. Larry Zweig, Assistant Executive Secretary for the General Board for Home Missions,began the day with an overview of some of his duties. He works with getting new mission congregations started, Campus Ministries, TCW (Travel Canvass/Witness) Program, Inner-City Mission Work and the Mass Media Ministry. There is also work being done inhospitals, nursing homes, children's homes, and prisons. Rev.Robert Kleistis an Institutional Missionary who serves people in these various institutions. In his presentation.he gave the example of the 'Good Samaritan' to make his point that there are 'no bounds, no restrictions, no differences of any sort that should stop us from showing our Christian love to all people.' These people who are institutionalized need the Good News of Salvation just like anyone else.

To wind down the day's events, Rev. Martin Petermann brought the idea of home missions into an even closer light. He is the President of the Minnesota District Mission Board His presentation included the procedures a group must take to form a new mission congregation from the beginning exploratory status to the final self-supporting status. Besides the congregational work the District Mission Board is also involved with Campus Ministry Work and Instituonal Work. From the day's events we learned there is much mission work to be done right here in our own back yards. There are rnany opportunities for us to share the Gospel with our fellow man, but all too often we pass up the chance or else we are 'too busy' with our own lives to care about our neighbor.

WISCONSIN LUTHERAN COLLEGE 8830 WEST BLUEitlOUND ROAD MILWAUKEE, WI 53226 But let's face it-we do not know how much time we have left on this earth, nor do we know how much time our neighbor has. So let's use every opportunity as if it were our last chance and share our Savior with our neighbor. 'Let none hear you idly saying, 'there is nothing I can do,' while the souls of men are dying and the Master calls for you. Take the task He gives you gladly, Let His work your pleasure be; Answer quickly when He calleth, 'Here am I, send me, send me!' (TLH 494 v. 4)

THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING ERNEST by Kathy Hinderer Staff Writer

On Friday and Saturday, March 25 and 26, at 7:30p.m.,the Drama Clubwillpresent The Importance of being Earnest, a comedy in three acts by Oscar Wilde. Admission for DMLCstudents is free. Non-students can purchase tickets at the door: Adults $2.00, children under 12 $1.00. The Importance of Being Earnest is a

, , , •• , . , ."'!":~.~,

highly entertaining comic satire on the pretensions and behavior of London society in Wilde's day. The audience finds itself in a world where eating more than one's share of muffins at tea is less excusable than deceitlIy assuming a false identity. After all, as Gwendoline says in the third act, 'Where matters of grave importance are concerned style, not sincerity, is the vital thing.' The situations which develop against this background are often ridiculous, and always hilarious. Earnest is the last play Wilde wrote, and is generally considered his best. The humor is as fresh as it was in 1894,the year the play was written, and surprisingly relevant to our own times. Some of the attitudes Oscar Wilde lampoons may seem very familiar. Briefly,the story line runs like this: Jack Worthing, young man- about- town, calls himselfErnest when he is in London so that no accounts of his various escapades will get back to his ward Cecily and her tutor, Miss Prism,who liveinJack's country house. They believe that 'Ernest' is Jack's brother. Using the name Ernest, Jack proposes to GwendolineFairfax.She readily accepts, for her ideal has always been to love someone whose name is Ernest However, Gwendoline's mother, Lady Bracknell, stridently opposes the match. Meanwhile, Algernon Moncrieff, Jack's friend and Gwen's cousin, has determined that he would liketo meet Cecily,and during Jack's absence, presents himself at the country house as Ernest This makes for rather a , ,~~c~ ~i,~~~~ ':"~~~?~e~d~Ii~~ ~h~~ ~p.

While many of us were home enjoying a leisurely mid-winter vacation, the DMLC wind and jazz ensemble went on tour. On February 25, forty-nine students, accompanied by Professor Hermanson and Professor Brick, left campus for an interesting ten days. The ensemble had their first concert that same night at 8:00 PM at Balaton High School. From there the group traveled to over twenty different congregations and high schools throughout Minnesota. South Dakato, Nebraska and

~-_WISCOnain.-_-__.

and both girls believe that they are engaged to Mr. Ernesi Worthing. The real names 01 the two men are quickly revealed, much to the chagrin of Gwendoline and Cecily,both of whom are inordinately fond of the name Ernest After Jack and Algy announce that they are both going to be christened Ernest by Dr. Chasuble, the town rector, a reconciliation is effected, just in time for the arrival of an irate Lady Bracknell.Asurprise discovery is made, and in the end things work out to the satisfaction of all. The director of Earnest is Terry Schallert Producer's duties are being shared by Becky Krueger and Cindy Lehman. Cast members are: Tim Hunt(Jack), Jason Muench(Algy), Chris Wessel (Gwen), Kathy Hinderer (Cecily), Glenda Fenske (Lady Bracknell). Jane Zimmerman (Miss Prism), Jim Curtis (Dr. Chasuble), Jim Hendrickson (Lane, A1gy's .manservant), and Dave Meiers (Merriman, Jack's butler). The cast and crews are working hard On February 24, they presented a preview performance for the fourth quarter student teachers. The Importance of Being Earnest will be the first play produced on the DMLC stage since The Night Is My Enemy in the fallof 1980.Director Schallert says, 'I don't get involved with a production unless Ireally like the show, and Earnest is one of my favorites.' Come see The Importance of Being Earnest We hope it will become one of your favorites, too.

The ensemble had three different types of performances. There were formal concerts which were usually held in the evenings or afternoons. They also performed for grade school assemblies. At these performances the concerts were made more educational for the children by introducing them to the different families ot instruments. etc. Two performances were dedicated to Sunday morning church services where the en-

semble acted as a choir. While on tour, different congregations heard the wind ensemble play marches like 'Strike Up the Band' by George Gershwin. sacred selections such as' MyJesus',and 'Oh WhatAnguish'by1.S.Bach. along with many others. Jazz ensemble performed numbers like'Sweet GeorgiaBrown','Body and Soul'. 'In the Mood', and the theme from 'lee Castles.' The tour was also educational for the band itself. While in Milwaukeethey toured the Synod Offices.Northwestern Publishing House, and the Seminary in Mequon. On March 13, 1983, at 2:00 p.m. in the gymnasium the Windand Jazz Ensemblewill be presenting a home concert. The same numbers will be performed that were on tour. Come out and see the talents of our own Wind and Jazz Ensemble.

PONDER HIS PASSION

by Judy Delikat Assistant Editor Did you ever look into a mirror and wonder how you look in other people's eyes? Try it sometime. Imagine yourself as someone else: a friend, an enemy, or a complete stranger. Look at yourself as someone else would, and see what kind of an impression you make. Is it what you thought? As teachers we willhave to be careful about the impression we leave. The very nature of our work almost demands that we leave a good one. No one likes a bad teacher. Certain qualities are expected of us: courtesy and friendliness,a certain amount of organization, and a good Christian example. People can be disappointed when they don't see these. Shouldn't we be starting to practice already as a preparation lor teaching? Courtesy and friendliness come naturally lor some. Organization may also be part 01a person's nature. A good Christian example willbe harder, though, something that takes a little work When do we begin to set a good example? When we leave campus? When there are visitors? When we're around children? Yes,01course. But what about the rest 01the time? Are we free to do as we please? I think not. People are always watching, so we must always be setting a good example. When we sit in the dorm, when we walk around campus, when we cheer at a basketball game-we should always remember that people are looking, people will see. We should consider another reason lor displaying a good Christian example: God commands it He tells us to let our lights shine so that men may see our good works and glorily God As Christians we must remember that we don't live lor ourselves, but lor God. Since everyting we do is a reflection on the gospel, it's important that we make a good impression for the sake of the gospel. Weare Christ's ambassadors, and he expects us to act our parts. What better time to think about livinglor Christ than now!This is the Lenten season, when we ponder Christ's life--and death-for us. Consider what Paul says about doing all to the glory of God,and look again at the impression you leave in the eyes of others. Is it what you thought?

The time is now at hand, The bitter hour draws near, My soul is overwhelmed to death. The enemies appear. How quickly they draw near. Oh, Father, take this cup, Such woe is hard to bear. Yet may your will be done, my God, Your love I must declare. All sins I gladly bear. Sleep not, my little ones, Watch, that you may not faiL Temptation lurks in every place. Wake up! Resist the calli Be strong and do not lall. Arise, then, let us go, The hour is now at hand These men with this betrayer come, Before the host I stand My lot is at their hand

DEAR DANA Dear Dana, Some of the girls have been wondering--is there any special reason we don't have open dorms more olten? We know we aren't supposed to compare ourselves to other colleges, but it sometimes seems strange that the Northwestern College is able to have regular open dorms every weekend and we aren't given that privilege. Sometimes it would really be nice to have a quiet place to go during the weekend besides the dormitory lobby, even if it is just for a lew hours each Saturday. Don't they trust us? Frustrated Dear Frustrated, Open dorms is a convenience designed for special weekends here at DMLC. Dormitories being open to members 01both sexes allows familymembers, students from other schools, and friends from our student body to visitstudents in their rooms. DMLCisvery unlike NWCin that our campus is shared by women and men, while the NWCcampus is home predominantly for men. DMLCrightly does not concern itself with providing 'a quiet place to go during the weekend.' Further, Dean Zarling indicated that a minority of DMLCwomen want open dorms more frequently, whereas the majority generally does not appreciate the inconvenience and invasion of privacy.

I cannot answer your last question; it is something you must decide within yourself. Dear Dana, I like basketball quite a bit, and I saw many games in grade. school and high school. Recently I attended a game here at DMLC. Before this I had been under the impression that the crowd was supposed to cheer the team on, not harass the other team. Please tell me if things are different here. Unpleasantly Surprised

Dear Surprised, Your impression that the crowd is supposed to cheer its team on is correct Coupled with the positive aspect 01cheering, hassling the opposingteam, when done to a responsible degree and in sportsmanlike fun, also is part of an athletic contest. If and when the teasing or heckling becomes harassment, the intended fun turns to unsportsmanlike meanness. Unfortunately, this most often happens when the home team is being beaten badly by a better team; it occasionally occurs when the members of the opposing team 'play dirty' or show poor sportsmanship initially. Dear Dana, Why is it that the DMLCPep Band never plays at any 01 the women's basketball games? What is their purpose? Severalyears ago the Pep Band played lor at least one women's and one men's game a week

appreciate your checking into this.

Dear Follower, The purpose 01the pep band is providing pre-game and hall-time musical entertainment lor sports lans and participants. Additionally, pep band allows musicians of varying talents opportunity to provide such spirited entertainment while simply enjoying themselves. Your implication 'that the DMLCPep Band never plays at any of the women's basketball games: is, to my knowledge,incorrect. It did play for several games this season. Concertmasters JIm NeuJahr and Paul Danuser encouraged pep band members to play at women's games. However, because this is a voluntary and loosely-knit organization, pep band could not and did not play when interest was lacking. Often, because crowds at women's games are so small, the purpose of the pep band-to entertain-probably would have gone unappreciated

TItOSE WERE TItE DAVS

Wesley Steinberg Columnist Greetings! There is an old saying which claims that mystery is the spice of life. There is some truth to that adaze, especially for children, and most definitelyfor young boys. Mystery and adventure are the keys that unlock the door to imagination and, oddly enough, maturity. These things are as necessary to a boy's development as peanuts are to peanut butter. At least it was for me and my friends so many years ago. The first mystery to be logged in the Discoverers' Club casebook was something else. I like to refer to it as the Case of the PuzzlingPuzzle, for lack of a better title. The entire business was as confusing as it could be, and to make matters worse, solvingit got us into a lot of trouble with the police. I still can't believe what happened It all started with an odd-looking key Tibo found lying in the snow in front of the old Whitney mansion. The fact that it was resting where it was is a mystery in itself, since the Whitney place has been deserted for 25 years and is said to be haunted by the ghost of Patrick Whitney, who broke his neck fallingdown a Dightof stairs. (Some swear they can still hear the old man thumping

down the stairs every evening during the full moon.) Needless to say, no one ever passes by the place unless they absolutely have to, and never at night The strangeness, however, lay not with the house, but with the key: it was stained with blood! We all looked at the mysterious key with astonished eyes when Tibo told us where he discovered it We didn't know what to think. A thousand questions swirled in our minds all at once: What was the key doing there? And what did it open? And whose blood was smeared on its surface? None of us knew the answers to these unspoken questions, but we knew we had to find out; our mutual curiosity wouldn't let us leave the matter alone. E.P. began the discussion which would decide our immediate course of action. 'Our first consideration is whether or not we should contact the police. If it is blood stained on that key--and Ihave no doubt that it is-the police should know about it However,the possibilityexists that it may be some sort of morbid practical joke, and faking it to the police would only leave us with eggon our faces. In that case it might be best to solve the problem ourselves. But my first inclination is to get in touch with the authorities.' He looked around the room.

'We are in the middle, gentlemen. What we do first could very well decide the outcome of this splendid little mystery.' E.P. had a tremendous flair for speaking three miles above our heads when confronted with a difficultsituation. We always got a kick out of it, but we never lost our respect Corhis unquestioned brilliance. E.P. was one-in-a-million as Car as we were concerned, and we had every confidence in his judgement We all agreed he had a point 'Okay,' said Tibo. 'Let's say we take the key to the police and they think it's some kind oCjoke. Their lirst reaction will be to think we had something to do with it,so it's a cinch they won't believeanything we have to say.' 'I think Tibo is right.' George Garfield stood up and stuck his hands in his pockets. "No one is going to believe a bunch of kids with a fantastic story of findinga bloody key in front oCa haunted house, especially ifwe ask them to investigate the situation. They'll either think we're off our trolley or pulling a prank and throw us out on our ears. Isay we look into the matter ourselves and try to Cind out what is going on. If it turns out to be a practical joke, we can Corget the whole business.' 'And if it isn't? E.P. interrupted.

'lfit isn't oi.r investigation' would turn up additional evidence to turn over to the police. Then they'll have to believe us.' E.P. thought Cora minute before he said, 'Okay, I see what you mean. But we stillhave to decide what to do.' He paused a moment. 'I think we should take a vote to decide how to handle this thing: Everyone nodded in agreement As is our custom, all voting in the Discoverer's Club is done by secret ballot I handed each member a slip of paper on which they would cast their vote, Coror against The outcome was close--three'Ior' and two 'against'. Everyone knew in the back of their minds how the others voted, but no one voiced any opinions. Each of us Celta deep regard for the referendum procedure in our club. Decisions were made by all and for all, and they were final. In the end, E.P. and Tibo volunteered to take the key to the police the next morning. We put the strange object in a safe place Cor the evening and headed for home, wondering all the while what lay ahead

GLIMPSES THROUGH CHILDRENS EYES by Beth Gillespie Staff Writer This time we will be hearing about something that is near and dear to all of us. The eighth graders from Emanuel Evangelical Lutheran School in NewLondon, WISconsin, are going to tell us about the qualities they would liketo see in a teacher. Much of what each student had to say was repeated by all ol them, but no matter how much they were the same, each one had just a little different twist Because the essays were so long. we willgiveyou just one of the many ideas from each child's paper. Some are funny, but some could provide food for thought We send a special thanks to their teacher, Mrs. Sandra Krause. Tracy Cbally thinks that a teacher should make he subject as interesting as possible for the student It shouldn't be so dull and boring that the whole class could fallasleeo. Jeff Belllle says, 'the teacher that is involved in sports should be a coach of a sport and should be a very kind coach, one that doesn't make you run a lot, but one that helps and makes you run your plays a lot' David Stelnbacb thinks 'he or she should let you have parties.' Sara Klumb thinks 'they should have patience when they explain things. Some kidsare slower than others and it takes them longer to learn things.' Bret Rom~rg feels that 'he or she should likeall the students no matter how they act or what they do, but treat them all in the same manner,"

Usa Romberg says, 'Someone who would' let you stay indoors, that would let you go to the bathroom when you have to go, that wouldn't make you eat all of your food at dinner, if you didn't like, would be my kind of teacher.' Charles C. Jones says, 'Teachers help us

now and they help us for our Cuture.We should thank them, not dislike them. Cor what they do because we will thank them when we get older.' Janice Marks thinks that the teacher should smile and not be grumpy and have a I!l1Jmpylook on his Cace, Rick Walker thinks 'the most important thing is that the teacher has certain rules, but not so many rules so that you can't do anything.' Chris Drelser likes it 'when teachers give out those scratch and sniCC stickers. It makes them (the students) more encouraged to study and get their work done.' Jodie Prahl doesn't likeitwhen 'they(the teachers) don't Collowthe rules. Likewhen the students can't chew gum, but the teachers always come in the room chewing gum.' Debbie Luedtke says a teacher 'should always set an example. He should never say things he wouldn't want repeated, and never Cavora person.' Todd Kranzuscb says, 'The teacher should plan to let the class have some fun like parties or something. The teacher should allow a radio or something if the class is being quiet and behaving.' Dave Gemdt would like the teacher if he or she 'would say a Cewjokes or do something Cunny.' Jenny Bauer thinks 'he/she should be strict enought to be able to control the students, but not too strict.' Brian Hedtke would 'like to see the teacher take the kids on more field trips.' Cbuck Worm says, 'I would likea teacher who makes a subject fun to learn, not one who drags out a subject And,when we go on a class trip, that it would be a real decent place, not a museum or something likethat' Jamie Kleiner thinks that they should be

prepared to counsel, and listen to their students problems. Jim Jaeger says, 'I like a teacher who will let you talk and have some fun. Iwould likea teacher who wo~ld play games with us and tell jokes to you. I would like a teacher who lets you have a long recess and have a good time.' Sally Stem thinks that a teacher should have patience, so he can explain something a student does not understand Amy Main thinks that a teacher should not be influenced by the students or by other teachers. They should be able to make their own decisions and decide what they think is right or wrong. Katie Brandt thinks that he should always be concerned with the students' Cuture, expecially spiritually, and he should show loving kindness and concern as a good Christian should Troy C. Fectease doesn't 'think that is would be right Cora teacher to be mean to the kids because of his problems or bad mood' Steve Wolf says, 'Another quality I would want a teacher to have is good grooming. I wouldn't want a teacher to come to school dressed in rags.' Chris C. Cunningham says, 'She or he should love and trust in God above all things.' Will Steinberg says, 'He (I use the term 'he' although teachers are both men and women) must have above all intelligence and a natural ability to teach.' Jeff Sbawwould 'like to see a teacher who understands a teenager, how they talk in their own 'valley girl'language and someone who is in, a teacher that is neat, dresses in the Cashionof the twentieth century, is nice and acts neat' William Kalbus says, 'I would like a

teacher who has interest in the same things that I do. My interests are in trucks and electronic games (space invaders, asteroids etc.) for Atari VlCleoComputer System' Steve Rosenow thinks that a teacher should 'be very neat and clean in looks and appearance, and he should not have bad breath.' Dave Engel would 'like an understanding teacher who knows your abilities,and gives work according to it' Todd Hldde thinks that a teacher 'should not yell at the students unless he or she had a good reason Corit' Jenny Miller sums it up with this:'Overall a teacher should get to understand their students, their students' personalities, weak spots in school, and what they need help on. If they don't, how can they expect to teach?'

SNOW CARNIVAL WRAP-UP by Deb Miller Staff Writer

Snow Carnivalwas a week to remember. It was a time for embarassing students, harassing profs, and having a relief from the daily homework routine. Saturday wasn't a normal sleeping-in day. Quite a few students were up to play broom ball at eight 0' clock am. It sounds like quite the experience. It was exciting. challenging, tiring, and 'a lot of fun.' for those who played A large quantity of chins got banged up and bruised The ice was slick, which meant it wasn't easy to run on. There was just one major accident. A girl(we'll call her Denise) fell and hit her head on the ice. She was knocked unconscious. The ambulance arrived and scraped her off the ice. The games continued, resulting in the victories of Kloko's Revenge and Bintz's Bombers.

GLIMPSES by Beth Gillespie Staff Writer

Due to a lack of information. these Glimpses failed to appear in the January edition of the Messenger. These children from Sola Scriptura Lutheran School in Decatur, Georgia are going to tell us what they like about winter in their part of the country. There are only eleven children at Sola Scriptura but the one teacher, Mr.' DavidEwerdt,and numerous parent helpers are faithfullyworking to fulfillthe purpose of the school This purpose is two-fold. The school was set up to serve as an evangelism arm of the congregation to reach out into the community and to serve the children of the congregation. The school is presently in its third year of existence. We wish them God's blessings in their continued efforts. 11some ofthe comments sound too good to

that, or the two plus ten points for each basket (faculty only of course). A freeze was put on the game when Dean Zarling received a bag of ice down his back. How refreshing! The game was hilarious--diaper shots and points for the opposing team. Professor laGrow handled his jump balls very well. Who says short people aren't good ball players? Inthe end the facultywon the game, right? Time-comsuming jobs during Snow Carnival Week were the snow sculptures. And they all turned out to be beautiful Almost as good as Michelangelo. Some freshmen sculptured a bunny; others just walked by and said" nice job guys! What is it?" The soph's decorated the front of the LMUwith mushrooms and worms. The juniors must have hid theirs under a rock somewhere, because it's just not there. The seniors made a super Cheshire Cat near Centenial; it must have been a last minute kind-of-thing. Anyway,the sculptures Wereall magnificent and added a sparkle to the campus. Congrats to the fresh with the number one bunny.

THROUGH be true just remember that they live in the warm south. Mr. Ewerdt told us that since December 21 they have had many days of temperatures in the 60 degree range and only a few days of cold weather when the temperature has hit a low of 40 degrees. Well the kids will tell you all about it I likewinter in Georgia because sometimes we have ice storms and'~ there's no school. Alicia Ewerdt

A bunch of students (and Tutor, too) tried to flaunt their acting skillson Entertainment Night Most ofthe skits went pretty well,(but what happened, freshman?). How often are people exposed to a male Alice,a cat in a tux with a matching tail, or a 'tea party'? By the way, the winner of the skits was the sophomore class. Laugh, it's funny, The queen candidates made their bigdebut 'on Entertainment Night,too. The Professor Situations were humorous. It WOUldn'tbe much fun to get caught drawing a picture of Professor Lange, dressing Luther, or making out with Coach Wade's Annie doll, but it sure was amusing to watch the candidates talk their ways out of these circumstances! The competitors for queen also had to compare themselves to an animal. Comparing themselves to a rabbit is easy to understand, but a pig? The Coronation Night entertainment was fantastic. The M.C.'s, Beth Worgull and Beth Schlbblehut, did a fine job. Schibblehut's Real Man jokes were funny (eat your heart out, Tutor). As for the

CHILDREN'S cold. I also likewinter here because it isvery short. And it doesn't snow as much as itdoes up North. The winters are pretty good here, at least it isn't always freezing. John - Grade 6

I like winter in Georgia because it's a good time to remember the birth of Christ. Also sometimes we can build snowmen and go sledding if we're lucky enough to get some snow. Holly T. - Grade 4

(Kevin.you have a beautiful voice.) Furthermore, no one can forget the 'Mellow Love Song' or the 'Stray Cat Strut' to name a few.Allthe acts helped make the show successful. Now,what everyone had been waiting for-the decapitation of Queen Schibblehut. Once there was Marylin Monroe, Annette Funicello, and Minnie Mouse. Now there's Lynne Bitter. Lynne was crowned as the 1983 Snow Queen. Rollin Tloun was her escort, After Lynne fmally realized she was queen. Coral Cady sang the 'Theme From Ice Castles.' Coral's lovely voice ornamented the crowning to the fullest Congratulations to Lynne Bitter, our new queen. With so much going on there must have been some good times, right? Yes, there were. Everyone enjoyed Snow Carnival Week. Oh, by the way, there was one more event: the basketball game. We won't talk about that now.

EYES many joyful times such as Christmans, New Year's Day and the Super Bowl Christmastime is joyful because of the decorated tree and the gifts.

A GlANCE AT SPORTS PAUL'S PERSPECTIVES by Paul Danuser Sports Editor At the time of this writing.DMLCis looking ahead to holding grade school basketball tournaments over the next two weekends. Of course, by the time you read this article, those tourneys, in which both boys and girls from small and large schools around the New Ulm area participate, will be over, and new champtons will be crowned. This tournament, as I'm sure the players, coaches, and fans would agree, is one of the highlights 01the school year. The boys and girls sense an added excitement of playing on the bigcourt, where maybe one or two of them will someday shine for future Lancer basketbal teams. With all of the action going on with the games, sometimes those involved in setting up the tourney and making sure it runs smoothly go unnoticed, but not unappreciated. Iwish now, on behalf of those players, coaches, and fans, to acknowledge the contributions of DMLCAthletic Director Gary

Dallman, plus the numerous students who serve as referees, official scorers, timekeepers, and everyone else who kept order. These folks don't look at this task simply as work, but rather as a chance to help the kids enjoy themselves and use their God-given talents in a constructive way. Moving on to the subject of coaching in the grade schools. We teachers (or future teachers, as the case may be) often look at our classroom as a great responsibility, and indeed it is. From the little experience Ihave, I think I could say teachers could spend nearly every waking hour with school. What with preparing lessons, correcting papers and attending to all that needs to be done, there isn't usually alot of time to sit back and take things as easily as we would sometimes like.Ifthat's not enough, many are asked to coach sports as well. I'm not knocking the work we do; I am rather encouraging the teachers to take the time to coach. Last year, in serving Christ School in Big Bend, WI, I was Iortunate--no blessed-to coach

ON SPORTS the boys in basketball and softball Even though there were days when the kids would wear me out in the classroom, and I'd have liked nothing better than to sit in a comfortable chair and watch 'M*A*S*tr with Goede and await those delicious Monster Burgers, Iwould get new lifeafter a good practice session. I'm sure many coaches get the same thrill when seeing a Doug Edwards develop into an awesome rebounder or to see a Brian Westerhaus crack a solid linedrive.Just as being a part of a child's educational development leaves a great feeling in the heart, so also does helping a youngster grow in his physical skills and abilities. So look at coaching for what itis,a lot offun plus a great opportunity for exercising your own body, not as another responsibility which takes too much time away from writing lesson plans. Haveyou ever noticed how sprotscasters jinx an athlete? On the air they say what a great shooter someone is and he promptly throws up four 'airballs,' or they praise a

batter for not striking out in his last 56 at bats and he whiffs three times that game. I feelthat way now.Almost as soon as the last issue of The Messenger came out, where your reporter talked about the great cross country skiing weather, most of the snow melted In this issue, I'm purposely not talking about spring. baseball and other outdoor activities, just in case. Even though you will read this after coming back from mid-winter break, I will wish all of you a happy and restful vacation with family and friends. I also thank the many people who were so gracious to the band members over our tour. We willnever forget you and your hospitality. In the next issue, look for a complete wrap-up of the Lancerette basketball season In closing. I say hello to everyone at Morningside(with a few inparticular), J.W.'s 'little' cousin, Aunt Lois and Uncle Harold, and our fr.!..end~ Nifty and E.F.Dutton

LANCER QUINTET NEEDS MORE CONSISTENCY by Paul Wilde

Sports Editor When we last saw our Lancers, they had posted back-to-beck, impressive victories to raise their record to 4-6. Now we will update the saga of the young and inexperienced Lancer squad, already in progress. The freshman-orientated team has stumbled upon bumpy roads as of late. They have dropped 7 out of their last 8 encounters to fallt06-13. What has gone wrong? As Coach Gorsline has said, 'We have been consistently inconsistent.' The Lancers have had a hard time putting together 40 solid minutes of good, sound basketball. Their inexperience has been evident in lapses of poor shooting or bad defense. The Lancers initiated this stretch of the season in fine fashion by trouncing Concordia-St. Paul 68-51 for their third consecutive triumph. The Lancers blew open a close game (33-31) with a big second half, and displayed pinpoint marksmanship from the field by hitting 60 percent of their shots. Phil Werth, Tim Torgerson, and Tom Plath presided over the Lancers' devastating aerial attack by blistering the nets for 20, 18, and 16 markers respectively. But then the Lancer's woes began, for they absorbed 4 straight setbacks. The first was an 85-62 drubbing at the hands of Viterbo. The Lancers stumbled out of the starting blocks, and never got into the game. Jim Unke's 15points paced Lancer scorers. The Lancers then lost a heratbreaker to The Lancers then lost a heartbreaker to Pillsbury 57-56. They dug a hole for themselves at the start of the game, and never quite did make it all the way out They whittled away at the lead, but just couldn't

make that one last basket to get all the way out of the hole. A valiant comeback effort in the waning moments of the game lell just short, as several potential go-ahead shots rebounded harmlessly offthe rimjust before time expired Plath tallied 16 points to pace the Lancers' offensive thrust The third loss was a devastating 96-62defeat to a powerful Northwestern-Roseville squad Werth banked in 14 points to lead Lancer scorers. Mt. Scenario then avenged an earlier defeat to the Lancers by stomping allover them 9770. DMLC'neverwas in the game, and to add further humiliation to the Lancers, the Fighting Saints amassed 55 second half points. The Lancers temporarily got back on track again against Concordia, but then suffered three more setbacks. The Lancers shot well (50 percent), and opened up a tight game with a terrific second half surge to pound Concordia into submission 89-62. Four Lancers registered scoring totals in double figures: Werth, Unke, Plath, and John Melso scorched the nets for 19,17,14, and 10 points, respectively. The Lancers' win streak was short-lived, however, for Bethany subdued DMLC85-71. The victory was the result of Bethany's fast start, for they sprinted out to an insurmountable 4833 halftime lead. Even Tom Plath's field day (26 points, 12 rebounds) wasn't enough to save the Lancers. Next the Lancers were victimized by Viterbo 73-67.A late first half lapse cost the Lancers dearly, for a 27-27 deadlock suddenly turned into a 41-30 deficit at the intermission. The Lancers fought back to Withinstriking range several times, but never mounted a serious threat until a valiant last-minute rally. The bulk of the Lancer attack was personified in three men:

Plath, Torgerson, and Paul Scriver register 23, 16, and 14 points respectively. The final game in this stretch resulted in an 89Âˇ76 setback to Pillsbury.Plath canned 21 points and Torgerson 17 to pace the Lancer scoring attack.

The Lancers have two regular season games left before starting tournament action. If the Lancers are to fare well in tournament action, they must be more consistent They will need 40 minutes of good, so~d basketball

MYSTERY PICTURE

10% OFF ALL CLOTHING MARCH 21 - 30, 1983

No one got the professors' only Mystery Picture (Dec 82), and we won't extend it any longer. It was a section from the storage of old German volumes in the library on the lower level. This month's picture only needs to be identified Where it is located is not important. Clue: Something to warm the heart (at least). Submit your answers to box 176.

MAIlBOX BLUES Each day at DMLCa variety of interesting expressions can be seen on the faces of students as they peek into their mailboxes around noon. Some are happy, some sad; all had hoped eagerly for that much-awaited letter or package pickup slip to appear in their boxes. Now especially, as winter and the never-ending piles of homework tend to dampen everyone's spirits, the excitement of hearing from the outside world brightens students' days more than ever. Since the arrival of mail is so special to so many students, the Messenger decided to ask those students a littlebit about the mailthey receive--just for the fun of it. The days when the wished-for mailseems to come most are Monday and Wednesday. On Wednesday, especially, many students (thirty-two percent of those polled) said they received the most. The day of frequent disappointment for hopeful mailboxcheckers is Tuesday, said forty-two percent of the responses. Most of the mail-vat least according to seventy-eight percent of those polled-comes from family members at home. More DMLCwomen said that their boyfriends write them more than the men said their girlfriends do. As great as the letters are, however, the excitement is even greater when a package arrives. For most students, packages are rare treats, coming anywhere from once a month to once a year. And what do they contain? Food , of course, is in almost every package, said sixty-seven percent of the responses. Other popular package contents are books, records, clothes, ordered goods, and things left at home. And the sutdents' reactions to the mail? Quite a few students commented that 'the

mail service is great.' although several wished that it would be put out at the same time every day and that packages could be picked up at noon. The most prevalent thought about the mail was, however, desperation to get more. Some of the comments made were: 'Even junk mailisbetter than nothing--even the campus memo!' 'I ordered Newsweek so I get mail every Tuesday.' 'Most of the time I don't get any mail (You can send some if you like!)' 'WISh' could get more mail,especially from that special someone.' " want more mail!' So ifyou ever need anything to do in your spare time, write a letter to your favorite DMLCstudent He or she will be glad you did

No young lady shall become a student of this school who cannot kindle a fire,wash potatoes, and repeat the multiplication table. 2. No cosmetics, perfumeries, or fancy soaps shall be allowed. 3. Every student shall walk at least one

DEAR DANA

EDITORIAL by Miriam Zimmerman Editor-in-Chlef

Springis a call to new tHe.The trees bud, and the returned birds cheerfUllysing.Everything begins to wake up. The new life also calls to the student who remained hidden all winter behind books and assignments. Many will agree that a snowy day sets'a good atmosphere for

the diligent student to accomplish much. What does that say for spring? Although the school year is winding down, we must return to our studies for one last push. BeautifulSunday afternoons willcall us to come'outside and enjoy the warm sun. Certainly we should appreciate the beautiful days with enthusiasm. However, is itpossible to master the same enthusiasm for school work? In our responsible efforts to train ourselves for the teaching minisuY we will be able to find such a balance with equal amounts of enthusiasm Springis not the only beckoning finger.A planned summer vacation or new job may await us. The thought of graduation and a new life also beckons invitingly.Perhaps the thought of completing anotheryearof school excites us enough to apply ourselves a little less. Whatever ~the case, we must call our wandering thoughts to a halt .' Let's look how far we have gotten in our lives.WIththe guidance of Godwe have come this far. We have made it through numerous years of school Excitingevents have come and gone. Whatever we look forward to as a school year dwindles will come with God's continued guidance. I am not saying we should become dorm rats for the last month of school Do not ignore the beauty of a spring day. Rather we must keep a steady pace with our responsibilities. School will be over soon enough. Let's givethat last enthusiastic push, and we may even find some enthusiasm left over for other things!

Dear Dana, , I 'would like to take this opportunity to remind some people of a certan thing-NOISE-espedalIy in the dorm'Why can't certan :>M!>leplease keep the noise down during quiet hours? Are some r eople that dense that they don't realize they are being noisy'!Some of us do have to do homework or get sleep. For those of you who don't please don't make it unliveable for us!

Dear Dana, This is a response to an answer printed., in the MarChissue of the Mesaenier about fan actions at basketball games. I do not agree with your statement 'hassliIll! the opposing team, when done to a responsible degree and in sportsmanlike fun, also is part of an athletic contest,'nor with its impUcations regarding conduct by'DMLCfans. Fans are most helpful to their own team when they encourage them 'The fans are not doing this when they 'hassle' the opponents, ~ As teachers, we must do all we can to . positively encourage students and parents" to practice thai kind of cheering.' The general public accepts and often promotes-a different approach, as can be easily observed. What the fan may think is 'sportsmanlike fun' may not be perceived in the same way by the opposing team's players or fans. It seems to me that one shows a better Christian character and the best sportsmanship by encouraging rather than discouraging. Ihave trouble seeing how Iam showing love for my neighbor by hassling him even if .it's only a game: I think your perspective may change when you one day see the effects of'sportsmanlike fun' on a group of liftll· or sixth graders who are doing their best but get 'hassled' by fans ~from ~e opposing team. Prof. Wagner

Howwould itbe to get up in the morning without Him?Whowould hear your prayers for strength during the day'! What kind of hope would you have for the future in this life or the next? Most of us have never known such depressing emptiness. Jesus first livedin our hearts at baptism and bas never left us since. We have hope because we have Jesus.

BEHIMER RECITAL by Lisa Pickering Guest Writer

A lot of hard work came to a climax as sophomore u.a Behlmer presented a recital of organ music by J.S. Bach, assisted by the CollegeChoir.The recital was held in the chapel-auditorium on March 15 at 8:00 PM The recital began with The Dorian Toccata. An interesting echo technique, pedal trills as well as the recurring theme, demonstrated the talent of the young musician. Next on the program were three chorale preludes written while Bach was the director of music at St Thomas School in Leipzig. All three were written on the chorale 'Savior of the Nations Come.' The contrast between them was certainly evident as the ornamented melody appeared quietly in the first two, but powerful in the third as the pedal took the lead The CollegeChoir,under the direction of Professor Hermanson. sang the opening chorus of a Bach Cantata entitled 'Resound Then 0 Voices.' This joyful piece with its theme of praise astounded listeners with its polyphonic entries and melismatic pas-

sages.The choir interlude at an organ recital is an attempt to revive,a custom which was practiced at organ recitals at DMLCin the 1940's and SO's. The College Choir often sang to assist the organist during a short pause and also provideda_contrast in the program. All six of the popular, yet technically difficult, Schubler Chorales were on the program. The i1itricatephrasing and details ,made this section of the recital a highlight Listeners also had a chance to·hear many different stop combinations which demonstrated the color capabilities of the Memorial Organ. The final piece was Prelude and FugUein GMajor.The bright registration and running sixteenth notes were very inlpressive in the prelude. The fugue ended with fullorgan. to everyone's enjoyment The great amount of music and the technical difficultyinvolved proved the talent and perseverance of one of DMLC'sfinest student organists. Playing the organ is not new to Lisa, as she has taken lessons for six years. She is currently studying organ under Professor Backer.

EXPERIENCE GALORE by Dawn Rosenau Staff Writer

What enjoyment can be found in the

'months of January and February while a person is attenc!ingcollege? There is snow, :coldness, ice, and yes, more snow. The really depressing thing about snow is the lack of snow days here at college. At Ieest when we attended' lower institutions of education, we could go to bed with a ray of hope. Maybe there would be no school tomorrow! A way to get away from these winter blahs is to go student teaching third quarter. The possibilityof getting a snow day is much larger, and children certainly brighten up any winter day. Just look at some of the experiences our third quarter student teachers had Nancy PauJaen was asked during her first few days of teaching how old she was. Unfortunately one child thought she must be at least forty- five years old You always hear that children model their teachers outside of the classroom. Nancy found this to be true. She was teaching '8: lnatit .-lesson about shapes of boxes, ball, cones, and etc. Teaching the shape of the cone, the chlldren informed her that not all ice cream cones are the same, not all of them have the point Alter much discussion she IinalIy sid, as she was holding a shape of a cone, 'Does this have ice cream in it?' The students finally got the idea that a cone is a shape, and not something to hold ice cream. Alter school some ofher students were playing school with the shapes. The one that was the teacher held up the cone shape and asked, 'Does this have ice cream in it7' Jeff K1oko and Diane ReckzIn were invited to a faculty member's house for a' get acquainted with the student teachers' card party. All was going line until suddenly someone heard a loud roaring noise coming out from the fireplace. The noise quit, so eveoyone concluded it was a plane from MitcheD FIeld. Then the sound came asaIn. This time someone went outside. The

chimney was on fire. The fire was easily put out by sending a chain down the chimney, but the, fire department had sent three trucks. To say the least, it was a very interesting evening for one of their first social gatherings during practice teaching. Rita Putz realizes that sometimes it Is difficultfor people to learn new names. Her students had no problem; 'Miss Putz' is not a real tongue-twister. However, JOD Woldt, the other student teacher in the classroom was used to callingher Rita.The whole class burst out laughing the day he referred to her saying. 'Yeah. just likewhat she taught you yesterday. You know, Miss Toots.' (as in 'tootsie') , Miriam ZimmeJ'llUlllll was priviledged to have some very creative students in her classroom of second graders. During one language class, they learned how to stretch dull sentences into more interesting and excitingones. Alter practicing a fewin class, the assignment was given to stretch 'The snow felf into a more exciting sentence with the same idea. Alter several rrlinutesof hard work the papers were collected She was a very pleased and happy teacher when she read 'The soft white flakeswhispered quietly to the ground Bsr-r-r,' Yes,theyoungroinds can be very creative. Cheeyl Roth was to take a bus to get to school in the big city of Milwaukee.She just naturally figured that you catch a bus where you are let off.She was on her first morning bus, when shti realized that she was not heading towards her destination. She frantically made the bus driver stop, and let her off. She tried to call her school from a little meat market, but unfortunately a Father answered the phone. She had reached the Catholic school instead She IinalIy made it to school Sue Natzke was asked whether she had television when she was a youngster. She replied, 'Televisionl They did not even have electricity in my day: She then told them the truth after afew laughs. As you, can see, , student teachera certainly know how to get rid of the Winter blahs. No one could call these experIenc:es boring.

TftOSE WERE TftE DAVS by Wesley Steinberg Columnist

Greetings! Inthe previous episode, 11bocame upon a strange looking key. stained with blood. while exploring the grounds around the old Whitney mansion. He brought it to the Discoverers' Club for examination. After some discussion, the gang decided to take , the. key to the police and ask fo~ their , assi§tance in investigating the mystery. We all met the followingafternoon at the clubhouse to lind out' what the police had said to E.P. and 11bo concerning the mysterious blood-stained key. It didn't sound at all encouraging. 'They thought we were crazy!' TIbo's voice reverberated through the room like a rushing locomotive. 'We stood there and spilled our guts about everything that happened, and all they did was laugh at us. even after we showed them the key!' 'You mean they didn't ask you anything'l' I asked. 'Yeah. They asked us to get Iost!"1 guess that leaves us with only one alternative: said George. 'We look into the matter ourselves.' 'I agree.' E.P.spoke for the first time that afternoon and we couldn't believe our ears« E.P. actually agreed with George! Ihad to mark this one on the calendar. We were standing before the Whitney mansion within the hour. looking perfectly perplexed and puzzled. We had no doubt about being able to solve the mystery-we jI1stdidn't know where to begIri.After'a1~this was our very first case. "Tibo,' I said, 'where exactly did you find the key?' Tibo pointed toward a decrepit-looking , statue standing in the middle of a circle of trees just beyond the front gate. '1 found It over there, near that statue.' ·WeJi.·I said, 'let's check it out' I walked over to the opening in the trees and began looking around, hoping to find a clue. Meanwhile,the gang just stood by and watched me. Alter a minute I looked up. 'What are you guys looking at?' 'You, SherIockl' said George. The others just laughed. 'Well, someone has to take charge. You guys are obviously taking root standing over there.' . 'Okay: 11bo said, 'we get the hint' The gang came over and knelt down beside me on the ground and began searching the area 'What exactly are we looking for. Mich?' Ellery asked. 'Anythingthat will give us an idea as to how that key got here. and how blood got on the key.' . '1 think Ive found the answer to the second part' E.P.was standing behind the old statue. He had removed the head and was peering into the opening. 'I was leaning against this thing when the head moved a little. f pulled it off and found this: a secret compartment And look, it's stained with blood!' I rushed over to take a look. Inside the empty space was a few small splothces of dried blood along the side· and on the bottom Besideit the image ofa key could be clearly seen in the dust - 'It looks like we found the restirig place

for Tibo's key: E.P. said Apparently. whoever found the key first gashed his hand on the jagged edge of this compartment--' I pointed to a spot of red on the-sharp stone. 'Here. The key probably fell from his hand, whichwould account for Tlbo linding it on the ground nearby: It makes sense, Mich.' said E.P.'Now all we have to figure out is what it opens: 'the only way we're going to lindthat out is to go inside the house and have a look around' 'Have a look around?' It was Ellery.and he didn't sound too happy at the prospect of going inside. 'Are you kidding. Mich? We can't go poking around in there. It'lIbe dark soon.'

'You're not afraid of a little adventure, are you, EI?' 'Who, me? I'm not afraid of anything. It's just that we don't have a flashlight,and you can't see anything in the dark without a flashlight' '1 have a flashlight, E~' I said quietly. 'So do I: E.P. said 'Me too: put in Tibo. Ellerylooked round at each ofus in tum. 'You guys picked a great time to improve your memories! Have you forgotten? Tonight is the night of the full moon!' 'Come on. EI: Isaid 'That old story about old man Whitney reliving his death during every full moon is just a wivestale: I gave him a little smile. 'But don't worry. We'lI protect you from those nasty old ghosts!' The others began 'to chuckle. 'Okay. laugh it up! But when the ghost of Patrick starts thumping do~ the stairway and lands with a shriek at your feet, don't come crying to me!' He staniped off in the direction of the old house. Turning. he said, "Well, let's go if we're goingl" The rest of us just looked at each other and smiled. Ellery was something else. The house was as gloomy as any place could be, and inside it was a mess. The furniture was dilapidated and broken. cobwebs and dust covered everything. and the air was stuffy and reeked of mildew. 'Wow! this place looks like something out of a Vincent Price movie!' Tibo stepped through the main hall and aimed his flashlight at the staircase. •So this is where old Patrick Whitney bit the big one. They say the police'never found out what happened the night he fell down these stairs: Tibo shined the lightin his face for an eerie effect 'Some even say he was murdered!' He let his voice trail off into a hideous laugh which sent a chill up my spine. 'Cut it out, Tibo!' Ellerysaid. 'This house is creepy enough without you playing morbid games!' 'What's the matter. EI?Afraidof spooks?' 'Okayyou two: [said 'We've got work to do-remember? We've got to lind out what this key opens. Someone went to an awful lot of trouble to get this key. so whatever secret it reveals must be important, at least to him.' 'If someone was looking for this key and found it,' said George, 'wouldn't he come back for it now? He certainly must realize it's gone.' 'Most likely: E.P. replied. 'If he went to the bother of searching for it, he'd hardly leave and forget about it once it became his.

No. He'lI be back.' 'What if the guy comes back tonight?' Ellery asked. 'He may be searching for hidden treasure, and if he linds us here he may do us in!' 'I think you're overreacting. El,' I said 'We don't know what this guy isdoing here, if anything. but if he is up to something crooked, it's our duty to find out what it is. If he 'comes here tonight, we'll know: Ellery had a pained expression on his face.'I don't likethis: he said 'I don't likethis one bit' 'Come on: I said 'We're wasting time. Let's split up and search the house. Tfbo, you take George and Elleryand examine the parlour. E.P. and I will take the study. Remember. you're looking for anything out of the ordinary. and if you lind something which opens with a key. give a yell Understood?' Tlbo 'nodded. 'Good, Let's get to work!' Compared to the rest of the house, the study was in great shape. Manyofthe books were stillintheir place, and the furniture was virtually intact E.P. shook his head 'It's a shame old Whitney let. this place die with him He should have willed it to someone,' 'He did' E.P.flashed me a confused look, so I' went on. 'My grandpa was a lawyer before he retired. He helped old man Whitney draw up his will Since he had no family. Whitney left the house to his business partner. I don't know his name. He obviously didn't have much use for the place, or he would have kept it up through the years: 'Maybe he did have a use for it, just the way it is: 'What do you mean?' Itwas my tum to be confused 'Let's suppose that this business partner of Whitney's was a crook, an embezzler or something. Idon't know.IfWhitneysecreted something in this house, something his former partner wanted. desperately, he'd need some time to look for it after the old boy died, not to mention a certain amount of privacy. A beautiful new mansion attracts a lot of attention, but a decrepit old house goes virtually unnoticed, especially if it-is said to be haunted' 'Then you think Whitney's partner may have had something to do with starting that '

SPRING

old wivestale.· 'It's possible.' Just then a ghostly wail pierced the stillness of the mansion, followed Closelyby a sfeady thumping noise coming from the direction of the main hail 'What was that?' 1 exclilimed. 'I think our wivestales just came to life.' Suddenly. Ellery came bursting into the room, looking as ifhe were being chased by the dead His breath came in short gasps. ·Mich...E.P....come quick. We found an opening. in the fireplace. The lock...1 think it fits OUrkey!' . Another wail pierced the gloom Ellery looked at us with pleading eyes. 'Hurryl' We raced to the parlour and found Tibo and George standing next to the fireplace. They both looked white as a sheet, while all around us the wailing and the thumping continued. 'What is it?· i asked. 'What have you found?' 'It's some kind of secret panel built into the fireplace,' Tibo replied. 'George discovered it when he leaned against this stone.' He pointed to a place just to the leftof the panel with his flashlight -.·E.P.!'1shouted above the (lin. The noises seemed to be getting louder. ·E.P.--giveme the key!'

Most states around the country are warming in the Springtime sun, But th~ people here in Minnesota know that Wmter is not done. Robins are f1yngback north to their summer homes. But, here. the penguin in Minnesota roams. Most trees across the nation are budding with leaves of green. But here the trees in Minnesota, can't even be seen. Temperatures range in the high numbers, While here. the sun. in the clouds does slumber. Yes. Spring has sprung. in many places. But here Springtime left no traces. ._ Maybe someday Spring to Minnesota will come, But, by then, in other places. Spring will be done.

Although we canvassed from 10:00 to 6:15 every day, and we set a record for knocking at over 3100 homes, the memories 01chasing our hub cap, deciding who was going to sit in the hidden third seat of our station wagon, and the late night swimin the pool will always be remembered as a most enjoyable experience.

Some of us were a little more daring than others and went in the ocean! That was quite the experience. . Tuesday was our first lull day of canvassing. Withthe use of a truck ( donated by Oneof the members), we dMded into two teams and hit the trail (sand trail).

A GlANCE AT SPORTS PAUL'S PERSPECTIVES ON SPORTS by Paul L Danuser Sprots editor The great Roy Campenella, famed catcher of the Brooklyn Dodgers once said, "You gotta be a man to play basebalL, but you gotta have a lot of Iittloe boy in you, too." For the past several seeks there have been 21 DMLCmen, with a lot of little boy in them, working to be a part of the Lancer baseball team, coached by Professor Marv Meihack. It is ussually at this point in the season, where everyone is a .300 hitter, that the team tries to figureout whichopponents will produce the stiffest competition for league honors. This year, however, the biggest nemesis appears to be the snow, which is still covering the playing field Many of the players are flrst hoping to have a season, and then concentrate on how muchsuccess is to be achieved

Coach Meihack Willbe able to field a team made up of a mixture of experience .and youth, which will hopefully produce a good year in '83 whilebuilding for the future. , The squad is made up of eight seniors, three juniors, five sophomores, and five freshmen. Seniors hoping to lead the team are Dave Hartwig, Eric Ziel, Bryan Von Deylen, Mike Schaefer, Dave Ebert, Tun Gustafson, and a couple of .guys returning from a year of emergency teaching--Jon Woldt, and your writer. The juniors are Tim Pieper, Jeff Spangenberg, and Dale Oechler. Joel Mattek. Jim Brandt, Joe Martin, Scott Schmudlach, and Tun Tahaney (a transfer from WLC) are the sophomores, and Jon Biedenbender, Joel Burmeister, Tom Banaszak. Guy Gast, and Jeff Dorn are the freshman vying for playing time. With the return of some fine hitting and

pitching, plus. the talented newcomers, everyone involved is looking forward to a fine (and fun) season. As hard as Itried, Ijust couldn't come up with a catchy quote or slogan for women's softball, but I'm sure Miss Leopold and her women's softball team will provide enough action and excitement for, us all to talk about A 19-9ame regular season schedule looms ahead of the IS young ladies who will wear the maroon and gray. I stress the 'young' here as again there is but one senior and three juniors on the team. Beth Schuppe is the elder stateswoman on the club as the lone senior, while Dania Habeck, Tina Mohr, and Sue Pantaxon willlend their experience to this year's team. Rounding out this year's team are sophomores Patty Bintz, Karen Herman, Sally Mose, Kara Pochup, Lisa

Siebert, and Tammy Speidel, and freshman Yvonda Beaudin, Barb FISCher,Darla Hanel, KayJoseph, and Louise Ott Lori Unke(nee "Disco" Thompson) and Julie Detjen are helping out as managers. The softball team is likewiseat the mercy of the weather, but are equally optimistic about having a good season. Who knows, maybe now is the time to investigate the possibility of building an all-purpose domed stadium for our Lancer teams, to insure everyone getting in their scheduled games, The cost could easily be covered by another Synod-wide program and a bake sale or a couple of car washes. Maybe the alumni could think about that

lANCERETTE BASKETBALL SEASON ENDS by Pout L Danuser Sports Editor For all accounts and purposes, a 6-15 won-loss record (1-7 in conference play) can hardly be cause for celebration. Despite the low number of wins, the 1982-83 women's basketball season can hardly be considered totally unsuccessful With only

one senior on the team, the youthful cagers benefitted from extensive playing time and are looking forward to a strong future. The statistical leaders for this team had Kris Redlin as the leadingfield goal shooter (48%, 4th in the Midwestern Women's

ColiegiateConference), Yvonda Beaudin led in three throw percentage (62%, 9th in conference), Lisa Quam paced the scorers with a 21.3average (2nd in conference), Kris Clausnitzer, the lone senior, grabbed 10.8 rebounds per game (4th), Beth Kuehlpaced the squad in assists with 34 and 21,

respectively, and Judy Putz swatted away 13 opponents' shots in the eight conference games. MissBarb Leopold's squad was honored first team while Judy Putz and Yvonda Beaudin were given honorable mention. Mysteriously absent from the team is Lisa Quam.

Women's tennis is entering its second year as a recognized sport Last year the Lancerettes fared well in their first season, for they won three and lost three matches despite the fact that they were playing against established, more experienced schools. However, the sq'lfd has to replace four letter-winners, including the top three players. Three letter winners return to action: juniors Pat, Lemke and Dawn Gronbolz, and sophomore Krls Redlin. .The co-captains are Lemke and Laura Pankow, a senior who saw some action last year. The remainder 01 the roster is seniors Karle Hahn and Colleen Prendota, sopbmores Sandy Neuwirth, Rachel Schulz, and Beth Teuteberf, and freshman Jeanne Jensen, Rnth Slmonsmeler, and Allyson Sprigg.. Head coach Karen Shilling has been impressed with the play of the triumvirate of freshman. The netters already have their first

match on March 28, and will have to play without the benefit of any outside practice. Because, the weather hasn't permitted a chance for challenge matches between team members, no line-up has been set as of now. Coach Shillingis hoping all the players can get to see action. The Lancerettes have seven home matches this year, so why not come out and enjoy a day in the sun, the beautiful scenery, and good tennis by the netters? Now let's shift our attention over to the men's scenario. Everything l06ks rosy (except the weather) for the Lancer tennis tearn. Even the tennis courts show the green color of Jife:Evidentlythe lush vegetation of Otto's Gardenon court six has spread to the other courts (are you reading. Bill?). Seriously, the Uncers are returning their top five players from last year's 10-1squad, and several new additions wiIf further , bolster the team.

LANCER BASKETBALL RESUME' by Paul Wilde Sports Editor When the last issue of The Messenger came out, the Lancers had fallen to 6-13. The Lancers continued their descent by dropping their last two encounters to conclude the regular season with a 6-15 record But as everyone knows, tournament time is a whole new season. It can give new lifeto a team, or,a team may finallyjell right at that time.A recent example isthe1980-'81 Indiana Hoosier basketball team. Despite entering the NCAAtournament with' nine losses, they not only won the championship, but also set a record for the highest margin:' of-victory average per game ever recorded by the winning team. DMLC roared off to the Upper MIdwest Conference Tournament, and promptly, whipped MT_ Senario in a brilliant display of basketbali, to send the woWlded'Fighting Saints marching back to ',', their monastery. But the Lancers" seas6n' came to an abrupt end when they. just couldn't get into gear against Vlterbo.

Special honors go to Tom Plath. The stellar 6'1" forward led the team in many categories, such as scoring average (18.8) and total rebounds (157). Phil Werth finished a close second in rebounding by garnering ISS. Glenn Davis dished out an unusually high number of assists, The 'N squad, coached by Gary Huehner, a former Lancer player, did well this past season. They compiled a 6-3 record, and played exciting basketball Throughout the season, they exJnbited a good, hard-working attitude as they adapted to the DMLCsystem and gained experience. DMLCis perenialJy strong in spring sports. The men's tennis, golf, and baseball teams have won many conference championships, as bas, the women's softball team. Newer sports, like women's track and tennis, are still taking shape and gaining strength. Now ,rn preView men's terinis ani! goIf, as well as women's tennis. '

The men's golf team, coached by Fred Wulff and Darvin Raddatz, is also striving after lofty goals. Golf is in the process of being transferred from a spring to a fall sport, and in this year, golf was offered in both seasons. Inthe fall, the team fared quite well They posted a 4·0 dual meet record, won their sole quadrangular, and garnered second in a triangular without their top performer.

BONANZA

by Karen Krueger Staff Writer

'Welcome to the 1983 Entertainment Bonanzal' This is how you would have been greeted, had you been in the auditorium the night of March 18th. This year's program once again portrayed the talent which is found on our campus. Paul Danuser and Jim Neujahr, Me.'s for the evening, did their own entertainment between the acts! From impersonations, to singing,to reading from the 'honorary' Steve Martin, Paul and JIIIl kept the show rollin' right along. The acts of the Bonanza were all musical (besides, of course, 'a word from our sponsor' the Spring Play). The first three arrangements were written and performed by the composers themselves, Other pieces played brought laughter, respect for talent, and some well known melodies to the audience. The evening was rounded -out with a crowd participation sing-along in the western style. 'Hope you all had as much fun as we tm(r - and I'm sure many did!

EDITORIAL THANKFUL MEMORIES by Miriam Zimmermann Editor-in-Cbiet A lump formed as the Center Street hillbrought the Doctor Martin Luther Collegesign into view for the first time. Mom's first letter from home aroused emotions of a different kind Western Civ.lectures were a new experience. The night with a strange, riew roommate was unforgettable. That firstlesson plan felt important The thought ofstudent teaching gnawed at the stomach. Afterwards; unique emotions were inexpressible: These events and feelingsare shared by many at DMLC.Time passes, but memories don't and it's well they shouldn't. Let's reach deeper to discover another memory we ought to have and learn how we should approach it Your diaphragm just produced the best vocal sound of which you are capable in order to praise Another. Remember choir? Your mind untangled a doctrine to the strengthening of your faith.Remember religionclass? Fellowshipof the best kind offers comfort and strength. Remember chapel? Memories likethis are heartwarming. Days at this college are meaningful. We are able to experience college and all facets of its lifewith the knowledge that we are all bound together by the only thing that really counts in life." ... and forget not all his benefits" (Psalm I03:2b). That is what the meaningful things in lifeare - benfits. Our Christ-centered education should always be remembered as a tremendous benefit - a kindness shown us by God.Weare daily enriched by God as we sing in choir, study his Word, and confess with fellow believers. Never allow worldly activity a chance to swallow this fact passing it into the forgotten. Remember college memories with this benefit in mind Howshould we approach these memories? "Praise the Lord, 0 mysoul ... " (Psalm I03:2a). Thank God in jubilant songs of thanks and praise. Appreciate the professors that diligently instruct the opportunities to grow in faith,the Christian atmosphere, and the philosophy that provides a solid foundation for DMLC.Don't let one day pass when this is forgotten. From freshman to senior, all will have some memory of DMLC.If you are returning to campus for another year of study, take these thoughts withyou over the summer. Use them as motivation to bring you eagerly back to continue your preparation. If you are not returning or are a graduating senior, search for ways to continue such a life.Remember what your college years have taught you and carry itwithyou as you search for new ways to grow in faith.Choir rehearsals and chapel devotions may cease as you once knew them, but let the memory of these events lead you to experience new benefits that come from God alone. "Praise the Lord, o my soul, and forget not all his benefits."

AS EDITOR·IN·CHIEFI would like to express appreciation to my staff and Professor Koestler for teaching me what it means to run a newspaper. As my position comes quicldyto a close, I feel thankful to have had such an experience. The printed word is a worthwhile tool Withwhich to work. Ionly hope that the Messenger has printed words that have in some way enriched this Christian campus. As graduation opens new doors for me, Judy Dellkat will take command endeavoring to improve the Messenger with every issue. I wish her God's guidance.

LAST GOOD-BYES TO THE, DISHROOM Staff Writer Oh no, we are being invaded by people with red jackets and strange hairnets. Should we run and hide, or should we fight back? Let me assure you that these beings are harmless. They just happen to be DMLC cafeteria workers, or "kitchees" as in students' lexicon. I, being one of these people, feel that kitchen workers are mtsunderstood We do not intend to hold up the linewith the lack of glasses or silverware;we do not like to serve you hoagie steaks when the chicken turnovers are gone; we even dislike sending you away when you forget Ii quarter or an ID.We are merely bying to do our jobs, and contrary to popular opinion, we are not cruel and vicious individuals. The kitchen has 'opened my horizons. I guess the dishroom is really where the

by Jane Zimmerman Staff Writer As we on the Messenger staff were preparing to bid farewelt to the members of the graduating class of 1983,"it seemed appropriate that this month's polt should be dedicated to them. So we decided to ask the seniors a thought-provoking .question: "What will you remember most about DMLc?" The responses were quite varied Some felt they would remember Herman the, German, late-night study sessions, and toilet paper shortages most. Others thought of: "Mrs. Siegler and her orange juice." "The mouthwatering aroma of cabbage rolls!" "The ice, snow, and cold But mostly the WIND!" "The wasps in the Music Halt and even having the audience of a squirrel" "Meeting my future wife!" "That the earth is an oblate spheroid" "... that DMLCis on a hill (or escarpment for geography students). Who could forget

action takes place. I have had many aesthetic, creative, and artistic experiences as I watched the trays float into the dishroom. When I view the creations in the glasses or under the bowls, it simply takes my breath away. I also get to meet a lot of late eaters, when I beg for their trays. This way we can escape the dishroom, for we have another life to lead too. All kidding aside, kitchen work is great I enjoy working with everybody. It is nicely located, and the hours are wonderful. I only wish to be understood by the campus family a little better. So the next time you see someone with a red jacket and a haimet getting eight glasses of liquid for the dishroom, do not ask this welt known question: "Are you thirsty?"

after climbing the hill hundreds of times in weather from -15 degrees to 93 degrees?" The strongest memories for most seniors, however, will be a bit on the more serious side. Many mentioned their Christian friends, and with that the Christian atmosphere and bond of Christian fellowship. They also appreciated the opportunity to have a Christian education, the chapel services, and especially the concern and "interest of the faculty in each person as a student and feltow believer." (One senior specificallymentioned Professor Sievertand his "stern, but always fair, example.") The thoughts of the class seemed to be summed up welt by the senior who said, . "The things I will remember most about DMLCare the feltowship I share with good, Christian friends and the many opportunities the Lord gave me to use the talents He has given me for His glory." May God bless the class of 1983richly as they continue to use their talents for His glory.

I know 1will take those with me wherever I go, and they and my many friends willnever be far away from me. Ican't thank the Good Lord enough for all of the opportunities He gave me to use the talents He has given me while f have been here. I!I could share any thoughts with the students who willbe continuing here over the next years, it would be to givethe credit and praise to God alone for any accomplishments which might be recognized. Too often I see athletes, as well as musicians, actors, writers, or whatever accepting glory and praise for something they have done. We have no reason to be cocky or proud of ourselves, because God has caused anything we have done to be so. As an athlete, I have seen too many people get riled up because they haven't done as well as they would have liked 100%of the time. fnstead of throwing bats and helmets, hitting objects or people, or tossing chairs and clipboards, take the time and energy to call on the Lord for strength to face the challenges life (or games) offers us. To be honest, what do our athletic accomplishments here offer us as far as our future Iile goes. We should be grateful for the chances to use those talents and abilities for His glory,and not for ourselves. Wewon't get to a higher level of heaven ifwe bat .300,score 20 points a game, or throw a touchdown pass, so let's try to keep that an in perspective. To all of my classmates, both from last year and this year, readers, friends allover the country, and people I willbe serving in the years to come, I wish you au God's ~"richest blessings as you do the greatest work the Lord has givenus the opportunity to do. Thank you, my friends. Thank you, my Lord and my God. 30.

THE WILD(E) WORLD OF SPORTS SPRING SPORTS UPDATE by Paul Wilde Sports Editor The spri!1g sports season often brings many surprises: Unfortunately, the biggest surprise thus far in the season has been the weather. Up untilthe middle of April, the outside sports facilitieswere better suited to cross country skiing than to playing spring sports. The weather caused its share of frustrations, but hopefully that is all a thing of the pasl Thus far the men's gol! tearn, coached by Fred Wulff and Darvin Raddatz, has been the most impressive squad. The men on the links have emerged victorious in their only two outings so far,.gespite the fact that their practice course, the New U1m Country Club, didn't open until a mere two weeks remained before the conference meet Who needs practice anyway? The ladder as of right now stands, from top to bottom, John Uekert, Jim RON, Kevin Sonntag. Dan Markgraf, and Joel Radue. The Lancers journeyed to laCrosse to make their season debut against Vlterbo. Despite the absence 01 Jim Ross, the Lancers dumped them 373-392. Uekert's 83 won medalist honors for the meet Next the

Lancers disposed of their chief nemesis, Concordia-St. Paul, 35~367. Uekert narrowly missed medalist honors with an 85, while Ross followedright at his heels with an

86. The Lancer men's tennis team, coached by Dennis Gorsline and Arlen Koestler, has yet to reach expectations. Bad weather has set the Lancers back in their developmenl The netters have also run smack into some unexpectedly stiff competition, Despite the abundant talent on the squad, the netters currently sport only a mediocre 3-2 record The ladder currently is follows, from top to bottom: Paul (Samurai) Wlide, Tom (tie-breaker) Plath, Don Kolander (Koll), Bob Favorite (alias Bob Fararite), "Brother TIm" Boemeke (who is a native of New U1m), and either Dave Kolander (VIlas) or ,John Asbenmacher (Ash). Wdde and Plath, the Kolanders, and Favorite and Boerneke compose the doubles tandems. The Lancers won their season opener by forfeitover Viterbo.DMLCreally opened the 1983 season indoors against a totally revamped Northwestern-Rosevi1le team. The Lancers found the going as stormy as

the weather outside, [or only Boerneke (bless you, Brother TIm)and Wildeeked out wins. The Lancers then stearnrolled St, Paul Bible and an outmanned Viterbo team before absorbing a whipping from an excellent Willmarclub. OnlyNewUlmnative TImBoerneke (who has the unique hobby of testing the lifeof tennis racquets in the same manner as the way the Pittsburg Steelers test luggage while simultaneously smelling Sizzlingsteaks) remains undefeated Women's tennis, coached by Karen Shilling, has found the path to success a long, hard one. The Lancerettes have dropped all four of their dual meet matches thus far. The general order of players, . although everyone has played, is Pat Lemke, KrIs Redlin, Dawn Gronbolz, Ruth Simonsmeler, Karle Hahn, and Laura Pankow, The doubles teams are Lemke and Redlin, Gronholz and Jeanne Jensen or Pankow and Hahn, and, depending on the No. 2 position, Pankow and Hahn or Simonsmeier and Rachel Schulz. The netters were clubbed by Southwest State and the College of St Scholastica to , open the year. Then while most of us were

sleeping on a Saturday morning. the Lancerettes stole away to compete in an 8team invitational at St, Benedicts. The Lancerettes won a couple matches late in the going to finishin a tie for seventh. Next DMLC lost a 5-4 heartbreaker against Concordia-St. Paul. The match was determined by a tiebreaker in the final set Finally,Hamlinespoiled the inaugural match on the new DMLCOmnicourt surface by thrashing the Lancerettes. Shortly Iwillbe graduating with the rest of the seniors to enter into the Lord's ministry. f enjoyed writing for the paper, and I hope you, the reader, also enjoyed ill enjoyed my four years of college immensely, and I will always treasure the memories of all the experiences I had here. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all ofmy friends for all the good times we had - all the happiness we shared, as well as the comforting and mutual upliltingin bad times. No matter how far apart we may soon be I'll always remember you and treasure the fond memories. Iwish you all, as.wellas the rest 01 the student bodyand faculty, God's richest blessings.

TttOSE WERE TttE DAVS by WesleySteinberg Columnist Greetings! In the previous episode, the gang searched the grounds around the Whitney mansion . for clues, a search which eventually led them inside the old house. Duringtheir inspection 01 the place, the boys

come to some very important conclusions

about the mystery, and run straight into a sinister stranger. "Who .•. who are you?" Ellery stammered, shaking like a leal The man spoke in a deep basso voice which did nothing to quellour fears. "I would ask all of you the same question." He paused, "What are you doing in my house?" "Your house?" I blurted, surprised, "This is the Whitney place, Mister!" "Not any more, kid!" "Mich." Ellery pleaded, "let's get outta here!" "I told you kids you're not going anywhere!" The man's voice thundered as he spoke. "Now, hand over the key." "What key?" I asked, trying to sound surprised "I suggest you stop playinggames and do what I ask" The dark figurestepped over to the candelabra resting on the table beside the door, struck a match, and litthe candles continued from page I God gave me a mother to help me. get along in life, to feed me, clean my clothes, and give me love. She takes good care of me when. I am sick and buys my shoes. She sends me to school. She also gives me piano and dancing lessons. I don't think I could get along.without my mother. I love her very very much. Laura Denise Ybarra - Fourth Grade Godgave me a mother so that when I need help she'll help me. When I'm sick, she makes me feel better. When I need clothes, she givesthem to me. She also gives me food when I need it She teaches me God's Word, and brings me up in a Christian childhood But most of all, when I need love she loves me.

one by one, bathing the room in a soft eerie glow.He then fumbled in his pocket and the recorded noises fillingthe room abruptly ceased It was then we saw the gun in the man's hand. "You willgive me the key," he said, "or you will never leave here alive." Wejust stood there in the silence that had suddenly engulfed us, our mouths gaping open, oblivious to all but the gun pointing toward us. We were in trouble. The skeleton-masked man stepped over to me and grabbed me by the throat. "Where is the key!" All at once, a voice came from out of the gloom ahead of us. It was E.P.! "I have the key." E.P.stood in the parlor doorway and held up the coveted object. grtnning to himself. What was E.P. up to? The man let go of me and held out his gloved hand "Give it to me." "I don't think so." E.P.turned to me. "You see, Mich, our friend here is none other than Bascolm Roberts, Patrick Whitney's corrupt business partner. It seems he tried to make a little money by forging a deed and selling a bit of land Whitney owned right out from under the old man's nose. BLitit didn't work He got caught, and Whitney confronted Mr. Roberts here, at the top of the hall stairs. He threatened to ruin Roberts and cut him out of his will. the existence of which. incidentally, Mr.Roberts knew about. That's

when Roberts pushed PatrickWhitneydown the stairs, breaking the old boy's neck And since the will still remained in effect, giving Roberts the very estate he had already sold to someone else, all that was left to do was make Whitney's death look likean accident, and no one would ever know." "Is that what's in that panel, E.P.,"Iasked, nodding towards the fireplace, "the fraudulent deed?" "No. The phony deed was found, on the dead body of the man Roberts sold it to, along with some other very incriminating evidence against Mr. Roberts. The real deed is hidden in that panel, and it is that deed that Mr. Roberts has been searching for all ,. these years, to cover his tracks and tum a double profit by re-selling Whitney's estate after he had inherited it." "This has gone quite far enough," Roberts said, taking off his mask "It's too bad you kids had to get involved in my affairs. Now, you will never leave here." "Don't move another inch, Roberts, or I'll blow a hole right through you!" Another man holding a gun stepped into the parlor right behind E.P., followed by three uniformed policemen. Roberts let his gun fall to the floor, looking a little pale. It was all over. The police took us home in a state patrol car, and all the way we talked about the

case. "Where did the police come from, E.P.,"I wondered, "and where did you leam so much about Roberts?" "After the thumping noises began, I ducked down the hall and out of the house, running straight into Inspector Thomas of the state police. It was he who filledme in on Roberts' involvement, and it was he who sent me back in the house to stall Roberts until he could get his men into position and arrest him with the one piece of evidence they needed to convict him - the real deed to Whitney's estate." "And here Ithough you figuredit allout by yourself, E.P."I said. "I should have known." "Did the police say anything about a reward for capturing the murderer, E.P.?" interrupted George. "Not quite. But they did read me the riot act for getting involved and almost blowing their surveillance operation." "Yeah," said Tibo,"they yelled at us, too." "Well," I said, "it could be worse." "Of course, Inspector Thomas also gave us these." E.P. held up five tickets. "We all have free passes to see the Redwingsplay at the arena in Detroit next week, along with transportation to and from the city, courtesy of the Michigan State Police." "You know, E.P.," I said, "things just got better."

I love my mother because she makes my foods. I love her especially because she put me in parochial school. Not only that but she found a big church for me to go to. The name of the school is Lord of Life.Iam a Lutheran. Kirk Stanford - Fourth Grade
