Men Inhabit Centennial Hall

Centennial Year Brings

by Pete Schaewe Staff Writer In the past, if you lived in Centennial Hall and you saw a man in the corridor, you may have screamed, or at least thought something mighty strange was going on. For in the past, if you lived in Centennial Hall, you were a woman, and a man in the dorm was not a common sight. ute in the 80's has changed many things, however, and now men in Centennial are an everyday occurrence. Relax, moms and dads;'D.M.L.C. hasn't loosened any of. its restrictions, but it, has changed, the residence of its male population from Summit Hall to Centennial. Centennial Hall was closed last year because, with the declining enrollment of the past few years, it was not needed. For the five previous years, it had housed the senior women. Prior to that, Martin Luther Academy girls occupied its rooms. Enrollment was also a major factor in the decision to re-open Centennial forthe men. The maintenance of Summit Hall was simply too expensive to allow so many rooms to remain empty. Centennial, on the other hand, is smaller, more modem, and, therefore, less expensive to maintain. It also has a new roof, new water system, and refurnished lounge areas, which should be utilized. Another side benefit was the hope that a newer dorm with nicer facilities would inspire the men toward better personal and overall neatness.

How do the men feel aboutthe change? When school first started, the response wasn't too favorable. The smaller size of the rooms compared to what they had been used to stirred up no little reaction. But now that some time has gone by, most have adjusted quite well, realizing that there are advantages and disadvantages to living in either dorm. By now most have found a way to shave in spite of the fact that there are no electrical cutlets near the mirrors to plug your electric razor into. And you probably don't even notice anymore that the wall leading down to the basement is pink, do you guys?

Emeriti Speak Up Almost everyone has something to say these days, and almost everyone likes to be heard. In keeping with the Centennial celebration, MESSENGER readers will be hearing from some people who haven't been heard from in awhile. This month we invited the emeriti (professors and instructors who have retired from their positions at DMLC) to answer three questions: 1) Comment generally, or specifically with regard to an incident or event, on the extent of God's grace on DMLC and its results on this institution. 2) What highlighted your years of service at DMLC7 3) What advice can you suggest to the DMLC students and faculty?

Staff Writer Welcome one and all to our Centennial Year at Dr. Martin Luther Collegel We have a slight change in this year's curriculum. It will affect only freshmen, though. According to Dr. Edward H. Meyer, Chairman of the Music Division, they have re-implemented a tradition at DMLC that had ceased during the 1960's for unknown reasons. That tradition was to place a greater emphasis on singing. This will be accomplished by a new schedule for freshmen. The first semester will consist of Elements of Music, a two-credit course which will cover conceptual theory. The second semester will concern itself with Vocal Skills in which, for one credit-hour the students will primarily be singing individually and in groups. To round off this part of the curriculum, all freshmen will now be required to sing in a choirfor their first two semesters at DMLC. However, they will not only be enjoying themselves and fine tuning their singing skills, but, to put the frosting on the cake, they will also be earning another credit. This total package, as in the recent past, earns the freshman a total of four credits in music. So only the emphasis has changed, not the amount of time put into praising the Lord through music and song.

professor Emeritus William Arras had these comments: 1) For one hundred years DMLC never had to close its doors for lack of students, for lack of funds, because of government intervention-even during periods of wars, the depression or hardships. Also, there was always a staff of dedicated instructors. To God all Gloryl 2) That DMLC became a fully accredited college with the North Central Accrediting Association. The DMLC Campus became a college campus when the MLS Academy was moved to Prairie du Chien. The Off-Campus Student teaching Program expanded as far as Michigan. 3) May the sincere dedication for which DMLC existed the past century and the way it grew for providing teachers for WELS Lutheran schools ever continue with God's presence, blessings, and guidance. May DMLC ever be ours for the building of His church through teachers fully trained through His Word for the generations yet to come. (continued on page 4)

To All the Little A Moment of Levity

Squirrels and Nuts by C. J. Trapp Guest Writer A moment of levity can.unexpectedlv

by Judy Delikat Co-Editor Imagine yourself sitting in a classroom some hot August afternoon. wiling away the time watching squirrels frolic in the trees outside the window instead -of paying attention to where the Gauls settled after they conquered France.... Welcome back! You know it's fall at DMLC when the marroon and grey squirrels start fighting over chestnuts. They bury them hither and yon and you wonder how they ever manage to find them all when spring rolls around. I guess it just wouldn't be school without the squirrels (and flies and bees ... ). They're just a part of the campus family like everyone else. After all. that's what we are. isn't it - a big family. Sometimes it seems like we cover the gambit of family relationships, from mother and father figures to little children. We have our little disagreements, but things usually work out in the end. We even have big brothers and sisters to welcome the freshmen and make them feel more at home. Starting a new schoolyear is probably one of the hardest things about going to college. There are new classes. new professors to figure out, new people, new relationships, new responsibilities, and, for some, a new campus and a new way of life. It's hard to believe that a year has gone by and we're starting over again. It looks like it's going to be a great year (despite the four tests and lesson plan due next week). Everyone's getting excited about the Centennial Celebration - people are practicing hard for OKLAHOMAland learning special music for celebration services in November.Almost every morning we hear the Centennial theme. "In quietness and trust .. ." It's almost becoming a part of us this year. And well it should, too. We should feel privileged to be attending a school that's celebrating a hundred years of God's grace. Enrollment may be dropping, but God's grace is still with us, and that's always a just cause to celebrate. Maybe that's why the squirrels seem so busy this year. They're probably celebrating.

situation,

even into a

serious one. Such a thing happened many years ago in chapel before exercises began. It caused one of the faculty members to miss chapel that morning because he could not refrain from laughing. Here is the incident. It happened one morning right after classes had begun following the Christmas recess. Then it was customary to decorate the halls and the chapel with boughs and Christmas trees (the ·new fire prevention laws now prevent this). This decoration often required taking down two shelves, one on either side of Organ A. recessed into the open stage. Each of these shelves held a good-sized bust - one of Luther and the

otherof Bach. They are nowto be found in the Library. The removal of the shelves necessitated the storing of the busts for the time being. But on this occasion someone had stored them in such a safe place that they couldn't be located. The shelves would have to be bare. To solve the problem one of the students humorously substituted two very small, but recognizable. busts of Luther and Bach. When the faculty had been seated in their chairs along the movable wall that separated the chapel from the gymnasium. one of the faculty members spied the change. Turning to one of his colleagues, he whispered: "Just look. They must have forgotten to feed those

fellows over vacation!"

DMLC Gets a New Reading Room by Cynthia Hahn Staff Writer The Centennial year at DMLC is bringing many improvements to the atmosphere of our school. One of the most recent developments on our campus is the new Children's Literature Room in the school library. While preparing for our Centennial year celebration. the planning committee was looking for something special to do to be set aside as a recognition of the Centennial year. The committee decided to build the new children's lit room, and put Professors Averbeck, Schubkeqel, and Jacobson in charge of the details. The room, located in the lower portion of the library, was added to provide a comfortable place for students to immerse themselves in the study of Children's Literature, so that they may get the full benefit of their studies in this subject.

Professor Jacobson stated. "This was a very fun and challenging project. The cooperation we received from the

Late"

new

maintenance staff and business management really helped us to make this a

success," The interior design of the room was complimented by the work 01 John Covington, a wood worker; Heinz Zickler, who hand-made many olthe cabinets and accessories, and also Romie Guth who headed all of the electrical engineering that needed to be added. Furnished with a sofa. lounge chairs. a table and chairs set, and plush carpeting, this room provides a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere for all of the students of the Children's Literature class, so they may have a better environment to understand their literature. The room provides a VCR, motion picture screen. filmstrip projector. movie projector. film projector. a rear window projector. and all of the new children's literature books. According to Professor Jacobson. "This room is designed for the students in the Children's Literature class. and it will give the students who have not yet ta ken the class something to look forward to:' The Centennial weekend will provide a complete view of the new room with all of it's accessories. and 1984 graduate Jason Muench will be demonstrating the new story telling area.

Mystery

Prof

President Emeritus Conrad Frey responded in this way: 1) God's grace has certainly been evident in the talents and Christian characterofthe many men and women called to the college's faculty as well as in the caliber of the students with which the institution has been blessed. Another mark of God's grace has been the continuing generous support of the constituent members of the Wisconsin Ev. Lutheran Synod, without which the college would cease to exist. All of this has permitted the enlarging of the college's service and effectiveness to the Church. 2) The growth of the college in all of its aspects, the commitment of the faculty to excellence, the generally positive attitude of the students, a perceptive and supportive Board of Control, and the ability of the college to be of wider service to the Church highlighted my years of service at DMLC. 3) If students and faculty alike bear in mind constantly that the Lord judges, not on the basis of what they are able to accomplish, but on the basis of how FAITHFULthey are in the use of the gifts and talents He has given them, the Church will be blessed and they with it. Faithfulness is the key, not results. Where there is faithfulness, !he results take care of themselves, for that is God's business, Professor Emeritus Arthur Glende, who was editor of the Messenger fifty years ago,

With the coming of the new school year comes a new monthly contest in the Messenger, This year each issue will feature a profile of a certain professor at DMLC, We invite all students who think they can identify our "mystery prof" to send their entries to box 988, The first four correct answers will receive a gift certificate for food at the Round Table, This month's Mystery Prof, was born on the shores of Lake Michigan, As he Valley area, He later became grew up. he enjoyed playing sports, DMLC, He has also studied singing. and playing the violin, His visited Europe several times favorite subjects in high school were is he?

answered with this short essay: God's Continuing Grace and Blessing on DMLC An event in the history of DMLC that made a lasting impression on me as tangible evidence of God's grace and blessing on this institution was the dedication of the new classroom building in 192B, I was then a sophomore at Dr. Martin Luther High School. To us students this building was an enormous addition to the campus, providing the much needed classroom space, administrative offices, a library. a chapel auditorium, and a gymnasium. Up until now there were only four buildings on the campus, shared by both the high school and the college: the Boys' Dormitory, Hillcrest Hall, the Music Hall, and Old Main. At the dedication service I couldn't help but feel that the Lord had so richly blessed DMLC, not only with such needed facilities, but that He had endowed the members of the Synod with a zeal for, and a total commitment to, Christian education as a vital part of the mission of the Church, a commitment that the Synod has honored to this day. Now, more than fifty years later, one can see evidences of God's continuing grace and blessing. With ever increasing numbers preparing'for the teaching ministry, additional buildings have appeared on the campus: Centennial Hall. the, Music Center, the Gymnasium-Student Union:H";Iliiiew Hall, High'land'Hall, and i.ibr~ry. From'humble

ihe

beginnings DMLC truly has become a "City on a Hili," More important. however. than all the buildings are the many students who have come to dedicate their lives and their talents to the service of the Lord and the faculty that has remained steadfast in its adherence to the divine truths of Holy Scriptures. One can't help but feel that as one building after another was being added to the campus. the Lord was quietly and surely enlarging His kingdom in the hearts and lives of people, young and old. What highlighted my years of service at DMLC? I guess I'd have to say that all my fifteen years of service at DMLC were a high light, First, I felt humbly grateful that the Lord had counted me worthy for such a noble task as preparing future teachers for service in His kingdom, Secondly, I enjoyed the quality and Christian character of the students I had the privilege of instructing, What advice might I suggest for the DMLC students and faculty? May the Lord continue to bless DMLC with students and faculty who are appreciative of one another as members of one family, May the members of this family everteel humbly grateful that He has chosen them as His special people, either in preparing for the ministry or in educating those who are preparing themselves for the ministry.

•••••••••••••• Movie Review

DMLC students and faculty should enjoy and appreciate the little things gone, A bit of the Word or the anthem from a chapel service. a experiment, the spring and fall flowers. the trees and shrubs, baby squirrels campus, greeting a friend or colleague. preparing for tomorrow's class anodynes against pain and great therapy in appreciation of God's grace. Our attitude towards work increases our enrichment. In conversation this varies. One is "teaching a class." Another is "making a few bucks:' another is "helping God build His temple." The latter are the ones always busy building the fortresses of faith by God's grace. Professor Emeritus C. J. Trapp had quite a lot to say in response to these questions. God's Grace and its Results , One hundred years of grace. We can proclaim it now and joyously so. Go~'~ grace upon DMLC evidences itself most clearly to m'e when. under guidance. the Synod decided to officially recognize DMLC as the Synod's Teacher Training college. The merging of the two teacher training colleges brought this about. This decision gave it . special identity and the opportunity to expand in every direction as an educational institution. Together with a larger enrollment came the provision of much needed facilities and educational as well as numerical growth in the faculty. The addition of a long-felt 'eed for a four-year program was further promoted by the separation of the college from t.,~ academy. board- and faculty-wise. The ultimate step. the move of Martin Luther Acadel .. , to its own campus at Prairie du Chien. Wisconsin. completed the separation. It now ha, its own identity under a new name, Martin Luther Preparatory School. DMLC was also given the authorization to investigate the possibility of becoming accredited by North Central. unless it meant to compromise its Scriptural principles or its Synodically specified goals. This decision brought about something constructive. namely. a self-evaluation and self-appraisal. after a thorough self-study of the curriculum and the syllabi to achieve the school's aims and objectives. Although accreditation will never solve all its problems (and we hope it will not hinder us later by making unreasonable demands). it required a wholesome exercise on the part of the entire body to determine its strengths and its weaknesses toward academic achievement. The revision of the curriculum. which came about in view of the self-study. now permits juniors and seniors to choose an area of concentration to expand their personal interests in one of five fields (English. mathematics. music. science. or the social studies). The area of concentration also enables graduates to be more conversant with an area of study so that they may serve as resource persons in their schools. May the continued blessing of serving the Lord rest upon those who are involved with these changes to make them work to His glory.

Professor Emeritus Ralph Swentzhed an interesting bit of advice for and students:

Save your ticket stub and if we can print your review, we'll reimburse you for the price of the moviel What better way to express yourself about a film!

.No one likes to be offered advice unless he asks for it; and. even then. it may seem distasteful to him, But since I am asked togive advice to students and faculty. I am rather going to give advice that comes not from me but from the Lord. whom we have been blessed to serve. We can all apply to ourselves what God caused Paul to write to Timothy (his student): "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who.correctly handles the word of truth:'(NIV .• 1ITim. 2:1 5) Working for God to the furtherance of His kingdom is a most satisfying experience. It is serving Him as a message-bearer of the only truly good news. the Gospel of Jesus Christ. to all mankind. But such a task demands preparation even as any other occupation does. In this case it demands every bit of energy that one can muster because he is serving the Lord of lords. It is like preparing for the Olympics. ready to be (continued on page 7)

Looking Back: lO() Years of Grace

CHILDREN'S

by Karen Lindeman Staff Writer Even though summertime is well over. we often think back to the times it brought us. Our summers may not have been ideal. but I'm sure we have all enjoyed some rather good times. Miss Julaine Boehm's 3rd and 4th graders from Bluffton. Ohio. have written to tell us about their summers. What is the most interesting thing you did this summer? The most interesting thing I did this summer is: My brother and I were walking down a trail in a park in Montana. Some people told us they had seen a bear not too far back. We did not see him for awhile; Then my brother said. "There he is!" He was only abo..,t 40 yards away.and.just 5 fe.et from the trail. He was too close to the trail. for us to get past him. We waited a little bit before we went back. Matt Hartman. Grade 4 We went to a place called Blue Hole. No one has ever been to the bottom of it. It looks like a big pond. but as it goes down it gets smaller and smaller. It gets so small that a man can't fit through the hole. The water was very cold. Dan Bormutb. Grade 4 We went to Fort Knox in Kentucky where we saw lots of army things. We even went to Mammoth Cave. We were in the cave five hours. We would go up and down hills. There were rails for us to hold onto. There were lots of deep places. We also went to Cumberland Lake and that is where I found a lot of rock crystals. I took lots of pictures on our Kentucky vacation. Sarah Thomas. Grade 4

We all went to Mohican State Park. After our picnic lunch we climbed the fire tower. The tower was so high you could see a lot. We picked some trails to go on. We also went to the lodge where there was an inside and an outside pool. It was a fun day. Ericka Wilch, Grade 4 We all went to Put and Pond. I went down the water slide at least twenty times. We went swimming andwent on the bumper cars and boats. But after we got home I.got to stay up and watch the Olympics. I got to stay up until 12:30. Cori Davidson, Grade 4 My mom. brother. sister and I went all the way to Wisconsin on a train. We got on the train that had two floors and we were on the top floorll The seats had tables and footrests. A man brought us a pillow and made us very comfortable. We looked out our window and saw many interesting sights. We met our grandparents in Columbus. Wisconsin. We had funl Andrea Gurgel, Grade 4 I think we went to the biggest shopping center in the world. It had K Mart. J.C. Penny's, Rinks. It had some big parking spaces. And we all went shopping in it. It was fun to see all the stuff you'd want. Mark Heldman, Grade 4 We all went to our family get-together. My brother and I played on a real old cannon and also on a train. It was FUN! Mandy Welch, Grade 3 I went to Cedar Point this summer. We went on lots of rides. We went on the big roller coaster. We went on it about six times. Then we went on the log ride and you know we got all wet. Michelle Redick

Staff Writer 100 Years ... On June 25. 1884, Pastor C. J. Albrecht of St. Paul's in New Ulm held the ground breaking ceremony for beginning construction of a college while the cost of labor was still reasonable. Although he was reprimanded by the Minnesota Synod for not getting the approval needed first. the construction proceeded under the direction of Mr. H. Schapekahm. On November 9, 18B4, Old Main was dedicated and the college was named Doctor Martin Luther College. School started the next day on Martin Luther's birthday with eight students and three teachers. The main purpose was to train oastors. 50 Years ... By 1934. the 50th anniversary of DMLC. because of the merger of the Minnesota and Wisconsin Synods. the school had become a teacher-training college. Old Main had been remodeled and used for the kitchen. dining room. hospital. and living quarters for the cooks and maids. The anniversary service was held on June 18. instead of being held in November because tr.::r.ns.nortation

In 1934 the enrollment was up to 130 students. 10 Years ... By 1974, the enrollment was' up to 667 students. On October 5. the first football game was played on the new field. That year a new chemistry laboratory was made. On November 10. the 90th anniversary service was held. The president of the Wisconsin Synod. Pastor Naumann. was the special speaker. By the grace of God. Doctor Martin Luther College has survived 100 years preparing teachers of His Word.

SPORTS Lady Lancers off to a Good Start

Lancers Open Season in Milwaukee by Dick Goodall Sports Editor The offensive unit is experienced

DMLC's football team opened its season on September 15. against the,

too.

Marquette University football club, one of two teams the Lancers defeated last season. Coming off a very disappointing 2 and 6 season, the Lancers once again have high hopes for a winning season. To win, they must avoid the disastrous injuries which plagued them throughout the '83 campaign, generate a more sustained offensive effort, and avoid mental miscues on defense. One reason for Lancer optimism this year is the defensive unit. Battle-tested veterans all, there is only one new face in the defensive line-up. The one new face belongs to Kevin Keller. a wellconditioned athlete, who will play defensive tackle. Although new to the defense this year, he is no stranger to DMLC football, as he played here two years ago. Kevin VVilidouble as a backup fullback to Paul Hunter. Rounding out what should be a solid defensive crew are guards Jim Tietz and Dwight Sandvold; Dan Fenske at tackle; first team all-.-coiiteren'ce -iinebiicker - John Sebald,

Scott Antonetti. Keith Kopczynski, and Tim Mackain; sophomores Brian Maurice and Jeff Zwick; and freshmen Dave Biedenbender, Eric Brown, Randy Cox, Mark Eisenmann, Todd Friedel, Mark Hirsch. Linc Hohler, Dan Johnson, Steve Kolb, Gerald Marowsky, Dennis Raabe, Reggie Tobias. and Greg West.

If you answer "yes" to these questions, intramurals is just what you're looking for. Both men's and women's intramurals are already underway, and officers have been chosen. For the men junior Phil Petermann is the president. junior Ed Noon is the vice president, and sophomore Gregg Birkholz will serve as secretary-treasurer. Junior Beth Wendland is the president for women's intramurals, vice president is sophomore Sharon Mundt, and freshman Lillian Levitt is secretary-treasurer. There are a number of sports being offered for the fall season of intramurals, so everyone Can get involved. For the men there is football, tennis, and possibly even horseshoes, and for the women there is softball and tennis. Intramurals are for the benefit of the students and everyone is encouraged to participate. Even if you don't have a great deal of athletic ability, the purpose is to have fun. So take a few hours out of the week and enjoy intramurals - you'lI be glad you did!

Coach Drew Buck's charges got their volleyball season off to a good start with a 3-1 victory over the Mount Senario Fighting Saints. The Lancers are hoping to improve on their 13-26 record of a year ago. If they can playas well during the rest of the season as they played theirfirst two games this year, they're sure to improve. The Lady Lancers looked extremely good in their first two games against the inexperienced Saints. Superior teamwork and technical skills proved the difference in these games, and ultimately, the match. Mount Senario did win handily in the third game when the Lancers' concentration seemed to falter. The score of the final game was 15-13, but except for a spirited Saint rally near the end, it wasn't really that close. Nine young ladies form the core of this year's team. They are: seniors Kris Redlin. Adele Dietrich, and Patty Bintz; juniors Betty Carter, Yvonda Beaudin, Laureen Jaeger, Julie Detjen, and Lori Meineke; and sophomore Sue Carter. Five of the starters are experienced varsity players from last year, and though they lack height. their experience should be invaluable. The junior varsity players are Valleskey, Carol Reichow, Lynn Heidi Shuster, Krista Westendorf, Bernthal, Shelly Lindemann, Zeamer, and Carol Helwig.

(continued from page 4) willing to strain every muscle to be a winner. Paul evidently had this in mind when he wrote to the Corinthians, who were well acquainted with such games, when he says: "Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown of laurel that will not last; but we do it to get a crown that will last forever." (I Cor. 9:24f., NIV). What applies to the student also applies to the faculty member, who must always remain a student, if he also wants to achieve. The word STUDENT is derived from the Latin STUDEO,which means to be eagerto achieve, to be diligent. He must be eagertor knowledge, eager to share it. Such eagerness will benefit both, for the more one is able to give away, the more he retains for himself.

Cut!

Always mindful of being a servant of the Lord, he is especially eager to do His will without any outward prompting, to remain true and faithful to his calling, aware of His admonition: "I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have so that no one will take your crown." (Rev. 3:11, NIV).

Time for a break

Student Teacher Supervisor Emerita Victoria Wacker had these reflections on her work at OMLC:

at the Round Tablet

Having supervised student teachers at St. Paul's Lutheran School at New Ulm for seventeen years. I had the privilege of working individually with the students shortly before they were to enter the teaching ministry. In doing this, I received an insight into each one's background, character, personality, ability and talents. I found this very interesting. Many students expressed their appreciation for the education they received at Dr. Martin Luther College. Those students who previously attended secular schools commented on the Christian atmosphere and their spiritual growth while attending this college. May God continue to bless DMLC so that the students going out to "feed His lambs" will be prepared to meet the challenge ahead of them and become dedicated and faithful servants of the Lord.

during my student days. Most of the women lived off campus. It was my good fortune to observe the construction of the Student Union and the library. The women's dormitory had been built prior to my coming to the campus as an instructor in 1966. We finally had a complete campus.

Professor Emeritus Adolph F. Wilbrecht, who taught Teaching Reading, Children's Literature, and Art. offered this response: From a perspective of three score and ten plus years it is easy to look back and see God's guiding hand at work. In my own case I have seen the school at its lowest and its highest. I graduated from DMLC in 1933 at the end of The Depression. From a class of twenty only two received calls. By the middle of the year all of us were teaching. Fifty years later we have a similar situation, a recession coming to a close and many graduates without calls. We pray that the Lord will give them the opportunity to serve in a classroom. If physical growth is an indication of success it i~ Y,eryobvious at DMLC. In 1933 we had graduates serving in seven states. Now we serve in twentv-fivestatss plus Japan, West Indies, and Hong Kong. When I enrolled at DMLC, the only buildings on campus were Old Main, the Music Hall, the Men's Dormitory, Dean's residence and the forme, president's home which was removed to make room for the present library. The Academic Center was added

â&#x20AC;˘ The enrollment had increased to a point that I was teaching more students in one semester than the total enrollment of my college days. It certainly is a blessing of the Lord to have so many young men and women preparing for service in the church. Aside from the growth factor, another notable experience was the opportunity to participate in the faculty self-study leading to accreditation by the North Central Association. There is nothing quite like the opportunity to "see ourselves as others see US,"

For personal reactions there is nothing like the feeling of accomplishment for a teacher onanv level when his students achieve a certain goal. There is nothing like a gleam in a child's eye when he first discovers that he can read. Similarly, my most satisfying moments were those when students discovered that "Kiddy lit," wasactually good literature and enjoyable reading or a student in art class discovered GodÂˇgiven talents that he did not realize he possessed. Such moments make all time, work, and preparation worthwhile. Finally, the experience of teaching a group of dedicated young Christian men and women is one that cannot be duplicated outside of an institution similar to DMLC. Many times while doing graduate work at various colleges and universities I silently thanked God that I did not have to put up with individuals similar to a few of my fellow students. As teachers in Christian institutions we can be assured that "My word shall not return unto me void." We have only one obligation - "Seek ye first the Kingdom ofGod, and all these things shall be added unto you."

Halloween - It's Really OK! by Jane Zimmerman Co-Editor Just a week ago or so I was talking to a friend of mine, and somehow we got onto the subject of holidays. During the course of the conversation my friend mentioned Halloween, but then she quickly corrected herself - "Oopsl I should say 'Reformation Day', not 'Halloween'!" Why did my friend correct herse'lf? For some reason she felt guilty thinking about Halloween. She was under the impression that we Lutherans are to totally abandon Halloween and think of only Luther's Reformation at this time of the year. After all doesn't Halloween come from a superstitious belief that spirits come forth on All Hallow's Eve, the night before the Roman Catholic church's All Saints' O'ay(November 1)? We can't celebrate a superstitious holiday especially on the day of the Reformation celebration I There is controversy over the subject of Halloween here at DMLC and elsewhere in the WELS. The question often arises, "Should we or should we not celebrate Halloween on our Reformation Day?" It would be helpful to remember at this time just why our Reformation Day is on October 31, for it is no coincidence that it ialls on Halloween. Luther knew when he prepared his 95 theses that the day he posted them would be important. Therefore he picked All Hallow's Eve,the night before the biggest church festival of the year was to be celebrated at the Castle Church, so that the largest gathering of people possible would be there to read them the next day. With this correlation between Reformation Day and Halloween in mind, perhaps we can come to realize that it is no sin to thinkof both holidays on one day. Yes, they are two holidays: Reformation Day a religious One, and Halloween a secular one. (Even the Roman Catholics do not generally look on Halloween as a religious holiday anymore.) Certainly we should not ignore our joy in the Reformation and only celebrate Halloween. But we need not go to the other extreme and stop observing ourAmerican Hailoween traditions, either. When celebrated in a good, Christian way, Halloween can be a worthwhile opportunity to have tun. We need not condemn it as such.

Dear Dana,

D.ear D-ana,

... " In regard to your article on the men inhabiting'Centennial Hall, I thought a newspaper 'was a responsible source of information. If a poll or question was posed about the men being in Centennial the audience was certainly limited. I believe the majority of the men do not want to be in Centennial, nor did thev ever want to move into Centennial. The move was clearly against the wishes of the male student body. The only good thing I heard about Centennial was the nice gymnasium in the basement, big deall The rooms are small. the halls are noisy. and there are no urinalsl If the Messenger.prides itSelf on competent journalism, then let's have a real polland see the real results, but do not subject us to any more narrow audience polls or opinionated journalism. Perhaps this rebuttal 'may be biting. but I feel the record has to be set straight. on~ way or another. -Cramped in Centennial Dana says . , . I saw nothing in black and white in the September issue of The Messengerthat stated that a poll was conducted about the men in Centennial Hall. In fact. Dana had nothing to say about Centennial Hall. I did. however, follow your suggestion and conduct a survey concemingthis subject. Polls were sent through campus mail to 90 men who live in Centennial. Here are the results: men who favor Summit Hall 55% men who favor Centennial Hall 45% Major complaints against Centennial, as stated by those who favored Summit and those V;;ho favored Centennial: rooms too small no urinals no outlets in the bathrooms too few outlets in the rooms' too few showers too noisy no desk lamps Positive aspects of Centennial: better condition all around nice' lounge

Dear Dana, Something has been bothering me and quite a few of myfriendsln the dorm for some time now: where are we DMLC students to go when we need counseling? Yes. I know that the deans and our academic advisors are there for academic advisors are there for academic and spiritual counseling. and I appreciate this very much. However. I also know that sometimes - quite often - DMLC students need more than that, DMLC students, like all sinners. sometimes need personal or emotio.nal counseling beyond what normal training in the ministry can provide. Is there any possibility that we could have a professionally-trained counselor available here at DMLC? Getting Desperate (and friends)

Dana says â&#x20AC;˘.. The answer to your question is quite simple. It is not practical for Dr, Martin Luther College to employ a proressronauv-trarnec counselor. Several reasons support this. First. it is unpractical from a financial standpoint: sufficient funds to support such a program and person are not available. Secondly. provided that the funds were made available. the benefits that students would receive still would be far outweighed by the financial burden of establishing and maintaining such a program. DMLC is not a large enough institution to require the services of such a person as you suggest; DMLC already is faced with services that are questionable from the standpoints of finances and demonstrated benefits to the students. I don't disagree with vour contention that some students would seek assistance and benefit personally from a professional counselor. Apparently the counseling you've suggested is divorced from specific spiritual and academic needs. If this is the case, both public agencies and'private practices provide professional counseling in a myriad of areas._

..â&#x20AC;˘......................â&#x20AC;˘............................

New Program Begins on Campus Changes by Kathy Hinderer Staff Writer Students walking down the south hallway of the Aca~emic Center, have perhaps noticed a change. Room 136, which, was formerly used by the drama club' as ~ costume shop, has been converted into the headquarters. for the new Developmental Education Center. Prof. Koestler is in charge of the new program. The purpose of' the new center, according to Prof. Koestler, is to help students develop and improve study and time management skills, fill in any background weaknesses they may have in relation to their studies, and generally Professor Koestler ,(Photo courtesy the Excelsior) help them, to make the most of their educational opportunities here at DM LC. One way this is accomplished is by use of programmed texts, which the students across the page in the right. Each answer use at their own pace in theirfree time. A is covered until its answer is filled in. The programmed text is a kind of workbook student then compares his, answer with which supplies the correct answers so the book's. that the student can check his work as he Prof. Koestler believes this approach goes. For example, a book that deals with encourages a more mature outlook on the improving spelling and vocabulary has a part of the students.

How We Know: Nobel Conference ·XX Six Seniors Attend Conference A Professor's by Judy Delikat Co-Editor Can machines thinkl Imagine having two days off of school to explore a topic like thatl Some may wrinkle their nosesin distaste, others may smile withInterest, Six seniors and four DMLC professors had the opportunity to experience this oncein-a-lifetime event. Rachel Borgwardt, Judy Delikat, Jim Hussmann, Brian Miller, David Schmiel, and Eileen Spaude were chosen from names submitted by the senior advisors ·to attend the twentieth annual Nobel Conference held on October 2nd and 3rd. Four senior advisers also attended: Professors Barnes, Isch, Kuster, and Sponholz. The Conference was held on the campus of Gustavus Adolphus in St. Peter, Minnesota. Those students and faculty members representing DMLC were among 4000 students, teachers, and professors from high schools and colleges in thirteen or fourteen Mid-western states. The two days were filled with lectures, musical fanfares, lectures, good food, coffee breaks, and more lectures. During the course of the proceedings, one of the speakers (most of whom were

Nobel Prize winners of some kind) received an honorary Doctor of Science degree from Gustavus Adolphus. It's doubtful how impressed he was, though. He gave no speech of acceptance and apologetically took off his newly acquired doctoral vestments before he gave his scheduled lecture on "Computer Simulation Models of Human Learning." Actually,. while much of the subject 'matter was somewhat deep, leaming to know how people think can be an interesting - if not important - part of knowing how to teach children. Alo'ng with the lecture was a demonstration by popular computer companies of their latest educational and business software. In connection with the Nobel Conference there was also a modem art display of holograms and other creations using light. "A once-in-a-lifetime experience" is probably the only way to describe what it's like to. attend a Nobel Conference. It was probably well worth the time" too, especially since it meant spending, two days away from "home," on a "foreign" , campus. '

Mystery Prof Thanks for the great response to the Mystery Prof Contest! Keep the responses coming. Last month's Mystery Prof' was Professor Brick. The winners were Alan Uher, Karie Watchke, Jenny Meyer, and Mark Koelpin. Each won a certificate to the Round Table. Congratulations!

This month's Mystery Prof was born in the hometown of Walter Mondale. As a young boy he attended a campus concert when the Music Hall was the Aula. He graduated from both MLA and DMLC and commented that he could look out of his [dorm window into a cow yard. He claims to"e one of the first cheerleaders the 'Lancers ever had. Now he spends much ,Iof his time hidden away in a cubbyhole office when he isn't roaming the halls giving .people a hard time. That's all for now - lights out at 10:001

around the research of

The conference brought in additional speakers of international acclaim in the workings of the brain from its chemical and medical perspectives and from computer attempts at Simulation, of thinking. Together these approaches gave a strong picture of just how complex the workings of our minds are.

'C.HILDREN'S EYES My favorite season of the year is summer. It is because you can do [ots of thinga, like playing soccer, baseball, or playing at parks, or swimming. You can also lay in the sun, and ski behind the boat. lalso like it because you have more time for it because school's out.

by Karen Undeman Staff Writer ,The leaves of fall and the snowstorms of winter, spring with its blossoms and' summer with its sun, which of these seasons is your favorite one? In response' to this issue~ question, "What is your favorite season of the year, and why?," Mr. Doug Stindt's fifth grade class 'in , Saginaw, Michigan replies: I like fall because of the color of the leaves, animals gathering food for winter, squirrels gathering nuts, and bears eating berries and getting fat. Porcupines gathering apples and stuff like that and other animals getting food from plants and water. Eric Konsdorf Winter is my favorite season because I

My 'favorite, time is 'summer. I 'like summer because, you can go fishing, hunting, boating, flying kites,路 play baseball and football, (soccer and catch , bugs, l\nd go to the store), and ride your bike, go for a walk, go camping. And that's why I like summer. Robert Gaiser I like all the seasons when they first start. But then I get tired of them' all_ except for one, summer. I like summer because the sun is usually shining and in the summer we go on our vacation. Summer is also a good time to 'play outside sports, go swimming, and go bike riding. Now you know why.llike summer best. Katie Bivens I like summer because you can go swim[lling. You can play soccer and all other sports. I like sports and athletic. things. I like summer because outside on our swing set and I can ride my bike when' I go away, Laura Miner

Rachel Toepel Summer is my favorite time. It's my favorite time because we can swim, jump rope, play kick ball. watch TV, ride a bike, and going camp-ing. And I like summer :becauae you ca; go different places and

meet people and you can make new friends., Krista Minez 'My favorite' season of the year is winter. I'like to play in the snow, open presents on Christmas and sing in church on Christmas E;ve. Dana Romes I love fall because you can rake all the leaves together and jump into them off a high place. When they get' separated you' rake them into another pile where more leaves are so there is a bigger pile of leaves to' jump in: You can also play" Dracula and football in the leaves. Ryan Hill

thing Ilike about it is the plants are green, the trees are green, and the grass is green. The ones I like best are the trees because I can climb the trees on my Aunt Pat's boulevard, if the branches are low enough for me. The other thing I like about summer is visiting our Aunt Maureen and Uncle. Keith's house, our Aunt Pat's house, our Uncle Jim's house, and our Grandma and Grandpa's house. Kristen Murray My favorite season is summer. I like summer because we get out of school and I getto ride my bike and skateboard. Ilike summer at night because I don't have to do homework a~d I getto stay up later. So now you know what my favorite season is and why. Nathan Heyn I like winter because it's really exciting. You can go sledding. build a snowman. have a snowball fi.ght. and lots of other things. But mostly people go ice skating and play hockey. That's what I like to do the' most 'is watch people ice skate and play hockey. It's really neat to watch them slap that puck into the goal.

My favorite season of the year is summe'r because for one thinl! there's no school and that gives me more time to do things I really enjoy like swimming, rollerskating, (which really is pretty hard to do in the snow) and just getting more time to spend with my family and friends. Jessie Hein I have always enjoyed summer the most. Not only is school out and I can sleep longer. but I can play all day. This summer was the busiest I've had in awhile. I played softball and we were the season champions until the final game and we lost. My mom and dad took us on a tarrific vacation to Crystal Lake this year. We took Lewie with us and boy. did we have fun. We climbed the dunes, went sailing, played putter golf, jumpe~ the big waves in Lake Michigan, and rode on Gokarts for the first time, Jered Myers My favorite season of the year is summer. The reason I chose summedor a favorite season is because for one thing you don't have school and you get to go places on trips. My favorite summer was when my brother and Iwe~t to Mackinaw Island for two weeks with my grandma and grandpa. The weather was hot but the pool was cool. Amy Scha~zer

Lewis Atril Miles I like wintertime because we can build big snowmen, then go sledding, and have snowball fights with a friend, go skiing. and make snow forts and play in them. Then after getting warmed up after playing hours in the snow. we can have hot Cocoa. When we go out again some othertime we can go' ice fishing, playa

My favorite season of the year is summer. Ilike summer because there are lots of things to do. I can go swimming, play tennis, play badminton. softball. and all sorts of games outside.

Dan Schroer , Myfavorite season is summer. I like it b~cause I have a neighbor that has a madium sized above ground pool, and we swim almost there a lot. We also play baseball in a field behind our house and we play with neighbors. I also have a regular baseball team' I play on. There's .cana amera and we play lot's of other sports ai my house like soccer or football. My dad has a membership to Mapple Hill golf course so I g~lf there in the summer too: The only thing' I don't like about summer is I can't ski. I like that you can't freeze to death lik.e you do in the winter and you don't have to wear the heavy clothes like the jackets, hats. and mittens. The thing I love the most about summer is NO SCHOOLI And that's what I like about summer.

by Dick Goodall Sports Editor FOOTBALL DMLC's gridiron warriors have gotten off to a good start by winning two of their first three games. The two victories were superb defensive performances, as the • Lancers shutout Marquette, 27-0, and Pillsbury, 28-0. The lone loss was a 13-6 h~artbreaker to Northwestern (MN), and if you discount the last few minutes of that game, the defensive effort was even more outstanding than in the two victories. The Lancers are in pretty good physical shape with only senior wingback Mike Oesch out with injury. Two others, Jim Tietz and Steve 8remer, are nursing injuries but should be available for limited duty. That's a sharp contrast to the Lancers' injury situation of a year ago.Tom Plath leads the team in passing with 40 completions in 70 attempts for 463 yards and four touchdowns. Running backs Paul Hunter and Phil Petermann have gained 162 and 109 yards respectively ." Jerry Zeainer, 8e~lor Wide 'receiver, is having- another stellar year with 20 catches in _three games. AIIconference linebacker John Sebald leads ·the team in defense with 20 solo.tackles and 28 assists. VOLLEYBALL The Lady Lancers have had an erratic season so far, with a 5-9 record. At times they looked invincible, as in the first two games of the season opener, and other times they seemed disorganized in losing matches they could have won. There have been some thrilling come-from-behind victories in recent matches, giving hope that they have regained theirearly season form. Despite their lack of height, this is a competitive team, and with continued fan support at home games, they should improve their record.

The one-man skit ''Two French Beggars' was a humorous study in movement and a good prelude to what was to come. Their approach to the play was often intensely amotional, but never serious. Small things - gest~res, facial expressions, and movements - were used to the fullest for a powerful effect. The frequent mood swings. wide, variety of tones, and the continual nervousness of

the young man kept the audience absorbed in following the turns and twists of every situation. The constantly fidgeting man on, his way to ask his neighbor's father for h~r hand in marriage got the audience involved from the beginning. He confided, provided an introduction in his chatter, and feverishly asked for advice. His frantic behavior, along with the growing agitation of the father and daughter as they all argued and argued. packed the play with action. Finally the marriage proposal was made. and. after a few more wild quarrels, father established some sort of peace and a happy ending. The actors made the play current by sprinkling interesting anachronisms throughout. After the performance they said DMLC was their biggest audience in i the whole run olthe show. "We enjoyed it immeasurably," they said. This was hilariously apparent, and we enjoyed it, too.

First Semester Missions by Cathy Starke '"

l'l' 'i

Staff Writer Remember mission money Thursday! We hear or read this every week. and though we all know that missions are

important, we might be more motivated to give and interested enough to remember if we knew what our money was really going for. In September, our money went for aid to Antigua. The WELS has a mission church and school in Antigua which is part of the West Indies. This mission needs American money especially so that it can purchase American supplies. The charge for exchanging their currency into American currency is very high.

October's mission money will be used

SOla Gratia

In repentance and re~t is your salvation. In quietness and trust is your strength.

by Judy Delikat Co-Editor Centennial spirit's running high right now. The excitement hasbeen mounting since the beginning of the year. Clubs and committees have busily prepared themselves and the campus for this one momentous week. Special music was written. Books. plates. pens. posters - everything has been'geared toward the Centennial Celebration. Choirs have rehearsed for special services. even the dress code was modified for a weeki "It only happens once in a hundred years." everyone says. "and we won't be around for the next one unless something very strange .happens." Well. the big weekend has finally arrived. There will hardly be lime for students to visit with the many people who have traveled long distances to remember their Alma Mater. The campus will be literally humming with activity. Little concerts. musicals. social gatherings. sales ..•. There's something for everyone. Is it really worth it. you may ask? The months of preparation. the long distances. the hours of effort. special plans. sleepless nights - the list could go on and on. How will you remember the Centennial Celebration? Will you remember the extra choir rehearsals. the long hours spent on the road? Or will your memories be watered with tears of joy. memories of how it was. visions of how it will be? The answer to all these questions should be positive. i hope you can carry these memories with you always. bedluse now that the Centennial Celebration is he~e.it will never pass away. What should be remembered more than the celebration. more than the hours of work and preparation. is the grace of God that brought us this far. New buildings have been built. old buildings have new uses. classes have graduated. and new students and faculty have arrived. Without'God's grace and blessin'g. none of these things would have been possible. and we would have nothing to .celebrate. . The Centennial Celebration is very grand now. Technically it has been going on since last January. How long will it continue? I hope we can all celebrate the history of DMLC in our own quiet. trustful ways as long as God's grace gives us strength.

Movie Review: "Places in the Heart" by LuAnn Varthauer Staff Writer "Places in the Heart" takes place in a small town in Texas in 1935. It starts out with the perfect,American family. mom (Sally Field). dad. son and daughter. sitting around the supper table. The dad is the sheriff of the town •.While they are' eating. the deputy comes to get the sheriff. The next scene shows the sheriff and deputy near a young drunk ;"'ho is· holding a gun and a bottle. The young man throws his bottle up and shoots it •. He then shoots more into the air and' discovers he is out of bullets so he turns

to the sheriff and tells him he is ready to go now. Then-he shoots the sheriff inthe . 'heart, This setS the action for the rest of the movie •. ~mainder of .the movie shows the -.problems that resulted from the death of

The

th8' sheriff. how his widow coped with them and finally triumphed. "Places in the Heart" had plenty of action - mortgage due on the farm and how the money was raised. a tornado. and an affair. From beginning to end. this movie was excellent. touching. and tear-jerking. It is -,,8 rnovle you won't want to miss.

Thank You Editors' Note: The following poem was printed in the Messenger at the time of DMLC's fiftieth anniversary. We feel it is well worth reprinting at this special time of celebration.

Many thanks to all the students and professors who helped to make this issue possible. Special thanks to our typist f~r her many/hours of work. ......: the Editors

Let Trumpets Peal! Let Cymbals Ring!' In Celebration of the Centennial of Dr. Martin Luther College by Werner H. Franzmann

Let trumpets peall Let cymbals ringl Let ev'ry voice be raised to singl To you, our God, this year belongs The homage of a thousand songs I A century of purest gr~ce To you, our Father, now we trace. You drew our fathers to your Son, The blessed race of faith to run. By faith they chose this very ground On which a school for Christ to found, To send forth pastors from this hill Bound wholly to your Word and will. When led into a larger band Of fellowship, they set their hand, With equal purpose, zeal, and zest To do, Lord Christ, your great behest: "Here are my lambs, once bought with blood I With me now seek their highest good. Help parents root them deep in faith That they remain my own till death." Our Lord, what do our eyes behold? Your seed increased one hundredfoldl All men and means you have supplied As what you planted multiplied. You stirred your people schools to found Where sacred Gospel truths abound; Their hearts, and hands you opened wide That this, your workshop, might abide.

Soli Deo Gloria! ThISessay is a response to the questions put to the emeriti. It was received too late to be printed in the September issue.

by Roland H. Hoenecke, em. Guest Writer Wanted: a highlight. A highlight? A highlight of a thirty-twa-year tenure in the teaching ministry at a school of the prophets? A highlight of a happy and rewarding association with God's city on a hill spanning nigh unto two score years? A highlight? Nay rather one grand and .gratifying pinnacle continuing uninterruptedly well above four thousand days. And why? Its remarkable history, the tale which the years and the days have told and retold: The Lord's mercies are "new every morning." Its amazing composition, the experience of the promise made at tt)~,!,utset of this ministry in 1946: "I will be with you always." And still - but this only because the continuance and the consistency of the Lord's mercies enabled it - the zenith experienced had many and -diversified facets. But where to begin in counting these blessings? Certainly one merits special mention and memorialization at this anniversary time: the faithfulness of Dr. Martin Luther College to the Lord of the Church, attested byÂˇ its .devotion and dedication to the charter given its by its parent and sustaining body. Ten decades

of students have been taught in accordance with the Lord's injunction: "teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you." Evidence of this unwavering stance? Surely not in campus and classroom arrangement and appearance. Here the century has witnessed radical and remarkable changes. Hardly in size and numbers. Statistics have fluctuated with the times and with the.prevailinq conditions. But what about Luther's role and its services? Here, too, no rigid "status quo" could be claimed, yes, would not want to be claimed. Where then? Briefly stated. in Luther's SAMENESS; in its constancy and inflexibility where these qualities truly matter and count. It is the sameness meriting praise not contempt. It is the" constancy indicative of strength notweakness. One hundred years have not 'silenced nor muted the Gospel's still small voice on Luther's hill nor in its halls. The Lord's "it is written" still has the last word in curricular alteration and policy documentation. "His will be done" still determines the guidelines for conduct and citizenship .â&#x20AC;˘ Grace? Indeedl Yet grace all the more

Great God of grace, receive our prayer: Oh, keep our College In your carel Yes, keep us all until our song Shall blend with that of heaven's throng. How can we, Spirit, fitly praise Your grace through all these years and days? On us you poured with lavish hand Your gifts .. like show'rs on thirsting land. We see these pass in long review: Instructors who but taught for you And students who", you set aflame To teach the young our Savior's name.

by Karen Lindeman Staff Writer As future teachers. we might often wonder what children think of us as their

teachers. We imagine them complaining about how mean we are or how much work we assign. but I think we will find those little students of ours rendering a few favorable remarks also.

Olive Lutheran School. 8ay City. MI. Teachers are like parents away from horns, they instruct and discipline us.

Music Hall One ofthe oldest buildings on campus, the Music Hall was ready for use in 1911. Originally it was built as a chapel with a 300-seat auditorium and a pipe organ. The basement provided a dining room, kitchen and housekeepers' rooms. The first and second floors contained piano practice rooms, which were later remodeled into classrooms. The building now contains piano and organ practice rooms, and the basement. once a student union. is now used for s~orage.

Entrance l:lign

Originally constructed in 1884, it was Dr. Martin Luther College. It offered facilities for a kitchen, dining room, washroom. cellar. and" housekeepers' rooms in the basement. On the first floor it provided rooms for a professor's residence and two classrooms. Second floor contained study rooms and classrooms. and in the attic were four bedrooms. Students got their physical exercise by ~awing wood and lugging coal to heat the building. One of the most versatile buildings on campus, it has gradually become the administration center of the campus, housing offices for faculty and staff. The bell in the prominent tower chimes once for every graduate on graduation morning each year.

November'

by Dick Goodall Sports Editor

The Lancers have had an up and down sort of season going .into the seventh week of their schedule. The cycle seems to be, win one, lose one. An opsninq-dav victory over Marquette was followed by a heartbreaking loss to Northwestern (MN). That in turn was followed by a win over Pillsbury. Then came a 14-0 defeat at the hands of Concordia. SI. Paul, in a rain- . soaked contest, Next came a resounding thrashing of Maranatha by the. score of 40-17, in the Lancer's best offensive showing of the year. And finally, another disheartening loss to arch rival Northwestern (WI) by the score of 21-0. With two games remaining. the Lancers hope to break the cycle with two consecutive victories, and a winning season. Lancer wide receiver Jerry Zeamer has tied the school record for number of receptions in a season, with 44 catches at the conclusion of the game against Northwestern (WI). Jerry is averaging six" receptions per game, and the record will surely be broken barring any major catastrophe.

DMLC's Lancerettes continue their rollercoaster season as they try to rise above the .500 mark. At this writing they are 8 and 13 over all, with a 5 and 6 mark in conference play. One conference match remains to be played (Viterbo), before the team starts play in theMWC tournament. They will have one remaining match after the tournament against Gustavus. Yvonda Beaudin leads the team in kills With 162. Julie Detjen has the most ace serves with 63, and also leads in assists with 246, The Lancerettes finished third in Mid, western Women's Collegiate Conference play.

The loss of two top golfers contributed heavily to the Lancers problems, but on the bright side, the men who formed the team this year gained valuable experience and should be highly competitive next year.

though the weather during Homecoming week was cold and rainy and the field was muddy and slick, the teams showed just as much excitement and' enthusiasm as ever. The first game of the tournament was played on Monday between the seniors and the freshmen, with the seniors easily winning 26-0. On.Tuesday in the pouring rain the juniors played the sophomores. When time ran out in the game, the score remained 0-0. Because of darkness overtime had to be played the next day. In the overtime game the two teams played for 30 minutes before the sophomores finally scored a touchdown (wit. no whistles blown) to win the game 6-0, As soon as that game was over, the consolation game was played and the juniors ended up in third place by defeating the freshme~9-0. On Thursday the championship game between the seniors and the sophomores was played in the rain, and the sophomores became the powder puff champs by winning the game 7-0.

Play In Review

by Chris Frankenstein' Guest Writer Sunday. October 21. I took a trip to the country of IIlyria. It was created by William Shakespeare in his comedy "Twelfth Night." It's a make-believe land plagued with unrequited love. The ruler of this land was the duke. Orsino. who loved the countess. Olivia. Olivia loved the duke's page. Cesario. who was actually a woman posing as a man. No one knew Cesario was actually Viola. except for a sea captain sworn to secrecy. Viola loved the duke, Orsino. Just reading the play could have easily left a person a bit confused about who loved whom. Seeing the play. performed on stage made the story easier to follow: A live performance enabled the audience name. Expressions and actions allowed sarcasm to be recognized as sarcasm. We were swept away into a world of fantasy.· All problems of reality were forgotten for; a few hours. There was no 'New Ulm •. Minnesota.There was only IIlyria. The believability of this play was' partly'. due to the perfect casting of characters." Each member of the cast brought his or her character to life. They seemed to really enjoy their roles. A great deal of. care went into the casting. One character," Sir Andrew Aguecheek, was toappear as'. a fop or wimp. .ln an 'attempt to avoid' masculine characteristics 'snowing'~ through. a womenwas cast forthe part" She. as well as all the other performers.~ covered the 200 degree stage as Ii true professional: •

Sebastian. The man who played Sebastian was black but make-up and costume made him the mirror image of the white Viola. You had to look twice before you knew which of the two was on stage. The set was simple so as not to detract from the dialogue and action. The few props that were used were amusing. They included a chair made of antlers and a four-headed tiger skin rug. The music and lighting were fundamental in setting the moods of the play. They were especially effective at the end of the play. The combination of sad song and fading light returned the audience to reality in such a subtle way. I don't think they realized it. The play came to an.end all-too-soon. I was reluctant in leaving my seat. as were others. It was as if I had just finished reading the perfect novel .and I didn't want to put it down. A symposium followed the perform· ance. The panel included three of the performers. .an English professor. a dramaturg. and someone who acted as an emcee. They answered several questions posed by the audience. They s.eemed to really know their business. I can only say that I was witness to a great performance of a fine play. I wish everyone could have shared the experience.

"Teardrop Lake": A Thanksgiving

Story.

There was much. to be thankful tor in the small town of Fergus Falls, Minnesota, or was there? Nestled in the lake country of north-

the boys, Raymond and Clarence, decided that since the hunting was over for the time being, they might as well try their hand at fishing.

In the previous people the Indians moved far away from days some of the men had already.been lucky and filled their quota which they promptly smoked and hung in their leantos to cure. One such lucky, man was Mr. Herman Hempel, the town's school-, master. Mr. Hempel lived in a small house on the north 'edge of town with his wife, Vera, and their, two sons, Raymond and Clarence, the former being age ten and the latter seven. Herman ,was born in Platteville, Wisconsin, at the close of the Civil War. Atter this his parents emigrated to the Fergus Falls area to stsrt anew. Vera aireadYknew this area as her horne because Otter Tail county had beeri her home since birth. They" met here as youngsters and were eventually' married.

it,leaving their chief to his demise beside the, waters of Teardrop Lake. The boys were aware of this legend and it only proved to evoke the curiosity in them. They circled the lake many times. in secret of course, searching for the remains ofthe Indian Chief. Again and again, they were attracted to the lake~ seeking answers from the wind which howled, through the' nearby pines. This particular Saturday, though, proved to be one of excitement beyond explanation. With their fishing poles in hand they arrived at Teardrop Lake, promising each other that they would never tell their parents where they caught the lovely st(ing of fish. But now for the hard partcatching the fish. Since the shoreline was full of the late summer tangle of cattails, they decided to row out onto the lake on their horne-made 8irchpole raft. The raft . was hidden on the shore under a spreading willow tree where the boys had last placed it. Just a small shove and off they went Once in the center of the lake they carefully placed their bait of fresh water leeches on their hooks and slipped the temptation below the water's face. Only â&#x20AC;˘minutes passed and the boys began to fill the raft with multitudes of fish. The species seemed endless. Finally, Clarence began to tire and needed to stretch. Raymond cautioned him to be careful as the raft was already overloaded with their slippery catch. Clarence began to stretch about on the raft when he stepped on. a slippery bass and went tumbling head over heels right off the raft. Raymond screamed and reached for his brother, In his haste, though, Raymond slid through the day's catch himself and found himself overboard too. He reached the ,surface and saw the raft, but where 'was Clarence? He dove and looked around, he surfa,ced and looked around, then, dove again, He repeated these maneuvers until he was exhausted and

only had enough strength to climb back onto the raft. He cried for Clarence as he stared blankly into the, sky. What was he going to tell his father? Raymond made,his way to shore where hesearcned his bones for the courage it would take to tell his father what had happened.He walked the mile and a half back to town while staring deadpan atthe ground before his feet. When he arrived back at the house his father knew immediately that something terrible had happened. Raymond was still dripping wet and was expressionless. He shook Raymond and begged for a word, Then his worst fears came true when Raymond spoke these words, "Teardrop Lake. Clarence fell off the raft." Herman broke out into a cold sweat as he broke into a dead run toward the lifeconsuming lake. As Herman neared the lake his heart wanted to jump right out of his chest. His tears and perspiration were now one. He prayed, "God, please don't let it be true." The sight of the crystal blue water grew large on the horizon, The face of the waters were as a mirror. There were no signs of life above or below. His eyes searched frantically for any movement on shore. Then it happenedl Herman saw a strange figure standing beneath the willow tree on the opposite side of the lake. It looked like an Indian. He ran around the waters edge until he was just a few yards from the figure. Then he could plainly see an Indian Chief with his son Clarence lying motionless in his arms. The Indian began to walk towards Herman until he was close enough to slip the young boy into his outstretched arms. Herman could now see that Clarence was unconscious but breathing. His heart

The Chief then turned and disappearedinto the nearbywoods. Ule and happiness had been restored to the Hempel family. Theirs turned out to be a very happy Thanksgiving Day after all. They had much to be thanklul for. It took some time and a lot of digging but Herman finally found out what the words that theChief had spoken to him said as he returned the tlfe of his son to him. The Chief said, "This Iake'wlll take no more:' Teardrop Lake has since been renamed, Grateful Lake.

And there is always some organ virtuoso practicing OH, COME, ALL YE FAITHFUL in the Music Center. The traditional Christmas party also helps spread holiday cheer, as the whole campus family gathers in the auditorium for an evening of delightful entertainment followed by Christmas treats in the cafeteria. Yes, the spirit of Christmas is active at DMLC. All is a rush of activity to help remember the Savior'S birth - and to try to forget the impending exams. Merry Christmasl

The road.to success is always under construction.

Gifts of the Heart by Jane Zimmerman Co-Editor We don't have long to waitl In less than a week we DMLC students will be travelling home for the holidays, and a few days after that we will be celebrating Christmas with family and friends. Part of that celebration will be the exchanging of Christmas gifts. Sometimes I wonder what kind of gifts all the different students of DMLC give. I've heard several people this year mentioning the difficulties they are going to have buying gifts when - with tuition payments to make, books to buy. and travel expenses to be paid at this time of year - there just isn't much money to set aside for Christmas. It would be good for us all to remember now that, while gifts bought in stores are nice, there are other kinds of Christmas gifts that can be given. These are "gifts of the heart." Gifts of the heart are special ways to show love. They are the best kinds of gifts to give because, since they come from the heart rather than from the pocketbook, they can be given to many, many people without the supply running low - and these gifts of the heart will usually be more treasured than other gifts also. Possible gifts of the heart for familY members are usually fairly easy to spot. Just think, "What are some extra jobs around the house ,Icould take care of for my folks?" or, "What special treat could I bake for my brother?" Maybe you could find a way to bring back special memories for your family - organize the family pictures that are in piles somewhere, or find some old Christmas records or other nostalgic things that will make your parents happy. Just think of what you can do for your family at Christmastime, and do it! Even more ideas for gifts of the heart are present forthe elderly, whether they are your grandparents, the elderly people in your neighborhood, or residents of nursing homes. You can join a carol group - or start your own. If you like playing the piano, you could just play for them. They generally appreciate any kind of live Christmas music very much. Or, if you are not into music - how about shovelling someone's sidewalk, or helping that person decorate for Christma~, or bringing them homemade Christmas cookies? Even if you would just call them on the phone or visit them they would appreciate it. If you would read the Christmas story to them during your visit, perhaps you would be giving them the greatest gift of all: As you can.see. the.lis.t_of:possible gifts of the heart could go on and on. It's your turn now: how about thinkinq of some of vour own and trying them out this Christmas? You wifl be glad you did. . ' '

Christmas Carol Trivia

On Christmas Eve, in 1B65, Dr. Phillips Brooks, rector of Holy Trinity Church in Philadelphia, was visiting the Holy Land. He saw the little town of Bethlehem lying far below him in the starlight, with shepherds on the surrounding fields. This scene, which he never forgot, inspired him several years later to write the

Christmas carol, 0 Little .Town of Bethlehem. The music was composed by the choir director and organist. Lewis H. Redner. On' Christmas morning, in 1868, the carol was first sung by the Sunday School .children, for whom the carol had been written.

Centennial Under the Lord's Umbrella by Prof. Bruce Backer Guest, WritfJr To the north. to the south. to the west and tothe east of New Ulm. snow and rain were falling upon the earth. Travelers were faced with icy roads. slush. and other conditions that made progress difficult. But the umbrella of the Lord was over the city of New Ulm and over Dr. Martin Luther College. a school that prepares his ambassadors to go and preach the Gospel to all nations. The Lord. as it were. announced hispresence on Friday afternoon. Storm force winds whipped the campus as weather systems collided. The skies were foreboding. To all outward appearances the weather of the weekend was uncertain. However. those who had' committed thIT weekend and everything that would go with it to the gracious hands of the Lord knew that everything would contribute to his praise and to the welfare of those who were coming to give thanks and praise to him for the century of grace. The weekend was preceded by a week of activity ushered in by a concert on November 4 by PRO MUSICA. This concert "of ~theran, ma8terworks 'wae recorded by Minnesota Public Radio and broadcast over. the supper hour on Centennial Sunday. Faculty members and students worked together to make the week memorable. We dressed in the styles of yesterday; we wore Luther shirts and dressed in maroon and gray; we dressed in our finest we enjoyed two evenings with Martin Luther. one by way offilm and the other in word and song. All will agree that Campus Family Day was a highlight of the .week. On Wednesday.

reminded us "how good and how pleasant it is for believers to live together in unity." Mr. Herbert Berg. general agent -of the AAL. presented a gift of $25.000 to the college for use in the celebration of the centennial. The Drama Club of DMLC was ready with its centennial presentation of OKLAHOMA. Countless hours of preparation 'paid off with consistently excellent performances to capacity audiences totaling 4.000 people. Saturday arrived. It was a beautiful November day. The winds had subsided; the sky was overcast. and the temperature was brisk. Guests who had arrived already on Friday. visitors who had come from California and Washington. to mention two distant states. began to stroll through the campus. Displays had been prepared•.;.i.n. most bui,ldings. Mementos of the occasion were on sale in several buildings. In the afternoon the advertised faculty-alumni and friends social took place in the library. The library staff had made extensive preparations. Hostesses were at hand to greet honored guests and all who wanted to spend several hours visiting friends. It was a sight to behold: not only the large number of people who gathered in the library. but the joy on the faces of alumni and friends as they renewed acquaintance with former instructors. classmates. and friends. Prof. Morton Schroeder. author of A TIME TO REMEMBER. was at hand to autograph each copy purchased that afternoon in the library and later on in the bookstore. as well as on Sunday. Our guests purchased about 1600 copies of the centennial history on the weekend. .Prof. Schroeder carefully autographed most of those copies. It was no small task to make one's way

to the children's literature room, the project of the centennial. After they had made their way' past friends visiting in' animated conversation. guests were more than pleased to discover a room that would enhance the use of children's literature at DMLC for decades to come. Mr. Jason Muench. teacher at the Lutheran elementary school in Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin, and specialist in the art of storytelling. was present to demonstrate this art and the potential of the room. The appointments of the room, the electronics, the master of craftsman: ship evident in the woodwork. revealed that Dr. Martin Luther College was a school with a commitment toward excellence in the field of children's literature. After morning worship in our local churches on Sunday, it seemed that the hour for the climax of the week's celebration, the festival services. was upon us in less than no time. We heard the wind ensemble in a one-half hour concert at 1:00 p.m. Then. at 2:00 p.m. the festival service began with a procession of the faculty and board of control, and the hymn, "Come Holy Ghost God and Lord." Over 3,000 voices were lifted up in prayer and praise to God. Readings from the Scriptures and the sermon by President Carl Mischke encouraged us to a strong faith and to bear witness of this faith in our life and work at Dr. Martin Luther College. Between the readings the choirs were reminding us of our centennial theme: In quietness and trust is your salvation. Special music for the d~y was composed by Professors James Engel and Ronald Shilling. The latter composed the closing prayer, After the concluding prayers, spoken by students. faculty. and congre-

gation, the entire congregation lifted up its voices in the hymn. "Our God, Our Help In Ages Past." Sung in alternation between congregation and choir, the hymn reached its climax in the final stanza, where descanting voices soared over the hymn. accompanied by brass ensemble and organ. and trumpets soared over the descanting voices. so that indeed the entire creation comprehended within the confines of the gymnasium - all who had life and breath - praised the Lord in a high doxology that will not be forgotten for decades to come. There were those who sang at the top of their voices; there were those who could not sing because of the powerful emotion of the moment; there were those who were amazed that God had given such a diversity of gifts to his church. The Chapel Choir reminded us at the very close to ask our Lord Jesus to remain with us during these troubled times. Chairman of the Board of Control Pastor Edgar Knief said what was on the hearts and minds of all of us: "This was indeed a spiritual banquet!" Now we have spoken our vows, as it. were. The time is here to live according to them. In this sense the centennial celebration has no end. Repentance, quietness. confidence, renewed service to God and our fellowman - this is the stuff of which the enduring centennial celebration is made: Let us ask God for such a faith. If he grants our requests and we do not turn away from him. then all the labors of the centennial celebration will not have been in vain, and the umbrella of the Lord will protect Dr. Martin Luther College. as it has during the past century, as it did during the days of celebration. u!Jtil the great and glorious coming of our Lord and Savior. Jesus Christ.

I like the Christmas tradition wrapping presents. There are so many ways to wrap presents. that's why I like it. You can start with a large box. putting smaller and smaller boxes. in the last one you put the present in then put the lid on the large box and wrap it. You can also put layers of wrapping paper. Last of all you can make your own wrapping paper, with comics and classified adds. The best part is watching the look on peoples faces while they open the presents .. Julie Cram

Opera Comes to DMLC Stage by Kathy Hinderer Staff Writer The image of the impassioned artist stalVing in a garret as he devotes himself to his art is treasured by romantics everywhere. Puccini's opera LA BOHEME tells the story of a grou'p of such artista working and trying to sUlVive in the Latin Quarter of Paris in the nineteenth century. On Wednesday, November 14, DMLC audiences had the chance to see Midwest Opera Theater's production of LA BOHEME sung in English on _the college's OWn stage. At 8:00 p.m. the curtain rose upon Marcello, a painter, and Rodolfo, a poet, trying to work in their cold flat. They are joined by their .friends Colline and Schaunard. Schaunard, a musician, has come. into some money, and all except Rodolfo head for the Cafe Momus to celebrate. Enter Mimi, whose candle has gone out On the stairway. She and Rodolfo fall in love at first sight. The rest of the opera charts the course of their romance as the consumptive Mimi becomes increasingly iU and finally dies, leaving Rodolfo in despair. LA BOHEME is based on SCENES DE LA VIE DE BOHEME, a semi-autobiographical novel by Henry Murger. Which takes place around 1840: An interesting

innovation of the MOT production was the conversion of the Cafe Momus to the Cinema Momus, where Rodolfo, Mimi and the others watch early movies. The first public showings of motion pictures did indeed take place in a Paris cafe, but not until 1895. However, this change of time does not affect the action and adds the excitement of the burgeoning technological revolutipn to the feel ofthe opera. The presentation of LA BOHEME was partially funded by the 3M Corporation. Workshops on lighting and set design were conducted by the staff of the opera company for the students of DMLC, Minnesota Valley Lutheran and Cathedral Hi'gh Schools. The performance got off to a somewhat rocky start due to a blown fuse that affected the lighting during Act One but was warmly applauded at its conclusion by the 400. people in attendance. The stage settings were effective, and the singers, accompanied by two pianos, were impressive. For many in the audi~nce this was their first experience with opera. Most seemed gald foithe exposure to the genre and the -famous example of LA BOHEME.

Coach Gorsline puts a lot of effort into fielding a representative team, and now his efforts have been recognized with this much-deserved award. Also honored by the UMCC were four DMLC players who were named to theAIIConfelence team. Senior linebacker John Sebald was selected for the third straight year. He was joined on the first team by seniors Jerry Zeamer and Dwight Sandvold, and junior guard Pete Kuske. John and Dwight, the heart and soul of

The 1984 edition of Lancerette basketball stumbled in their regular season opener, falling to Gustavus, 75 to 51. Poor passing and mental errors contributed to the loss. To their credit, the Lady Lancers showed some surprising rebounding strength fora team' that has no player over 5'11". Junior guard Betty Carter did not play, and her steady play was obviously missed. This year's team includes Betty Carter, Yvonda 'Beaudin, Laureen Jaeger, Lori Meineke, Beth Wendland, Sue Carter, Cindy Lierman, Laurie Gauger, Ann Klatt, Kristie Rogotzke, Becky Vallesky, Lynn Stobb, Kim Johnson, Heidi Shuster, and Shelley Myers. / Although the ladies have gotten off.to a rocky start, they exhibited potential and should win their fair share of games. One thing they definitely lack is fan support. At game ti"!18 in the season opener, there were fewer than 150 people in the gym, and that included the tw-o teams plus various officials. I recoqnize your need to study, but considering the number of students at DMLC there could have been many more fans at the game. Come on out and show your school spirit. You'd be surprised at how much your presence in support of the tea;" ';"ill help improve' tlieir play and chances for winning.

This year instead of students receiving a ticket at the door they will be using their 1.0. card numbers. Local New Ulm students without 1.0. numbers will be issued a numbered sticker to put bn

the back of their 1.0. card. This way the students will have the same number each time. Students will have to bring their 1.0. card to prove their number for each game if they are picked. This year McDonald's Restaurant is sponsorlnq the game and donating the prizes. Prizes of $2.00, $5.00, and $10.00 gift certificates will be given and also the choice of a 200 Big Mac Party or a 13" color television will be given as the BIG prize.

Aw, Carol, he won't bitel

REBECCAin Production by Kathy Hinderer Staff Writer The drama club has chosen as its 1985 spring play Rebecca, Daphne du Maurier's stage adaptation of her own novel of the same name. Pete Sordahl will direct the production, Monica Weiss. will produce, and Darrell Berg will serve as assistant to the producer. Performances are slated for Friday and Saturday. March 29 and 30. at 7:30 p.m. Admission is free to DMLC students with college i.d. Prices for the general public will be-announced at a later date. Tickets may be purchased at the door the night of the -performance. The cast was chosen the week of January 20. It features the following students. in order of appearance: Carla Free as Frith. Krista Westendorf as Beatrice Lacy. Jeff Spiaser as her husband, Giles. Scott Wagner as Frank Crawley. Wendy Mosher as Alice. Pete Schaewe as Maxim .de Winter. Kathy Hinderer as Mrs. de Winter. Kara Redlin " as Mrs. Danvers. Randy Bode as Jack

Favell. Mark Koelpin as Colonel Julyan 'and Jim Braun as William Tabb. Rebecca was Maxim de Winter's first wife. tragically killed in a sailing accident. She was beautiful and sophisticated. admired and adored by all who knew her. When Maxim remarries. his shy young bride feels the presence of Rebecca like an unbreakable spell hanging over Manderley. the de Winter estate. and carrying with it a premonition of doom. It is only after a chain of unforeseen events and ashocking revelation that the ghost of Rebecca can be banished at last. Those who have read the novel Rebecca know Daphne du Maurier to be a master of atmosphere and mood. Although there are some changes and omissions in the play. she still manages to convey much of the same tension in the stage version. Director Pete Sordahllooks forward to his work on Rebecca as a challenge that will keep him busy. He has acquired stage

experience in high school musicals and here at DMLC in musicals and children's theater. Pete agrees that the serious nature of Rebecca will present a challenge to the cast and himself. but adds that it will only mean "we'II all have to work a little harder." As producer. Monica Weiss will also have to work hard. but she is used to itMonica has been a part of costume and makeup crews for nearly every drama club and children's theater production of the last three years. After helping with so many others. she decided she would enjoy assuming producer's duiies. She has set as her goal for Rebecca the, making of a "professional-looking production." and would like to remind members of the campus family that although Rebecca is somewhat more serious than plays that have been done in the past several years. it does have elements of suspense and humor that will make it appealing to everyone,

Dear Dana ,

Take Time Out! . by Jane Zimmerman Co-Editor "Maybe we can get together sometime and do something fun - as soon as I get caught up on my schoolwork." I've heard so many students say this to me and to everyone elsel Unfortunately, the schoolwork is never done until after the semester exams. Consequently, there are quite a few students here at DMLC who will rarely, if ever, take time out from their nights of study just to watch a little TV, read a book for fun, take a walk, orvisit afriend. When these students are talked into taking a break, they feel guilty or panicky because they "shouldn't be doing this - there's too much homework to dol" Does this description fit you? Do you often wonder how some "super student" you know can possibly handle all of his or her many activities and schoolwork and still appear calm and collected - when you barely have time just for schoolwork? If so, you are not alone. Studies have shown for years that colleqe is one of the most stressful places a person can be today, and it is even more stressful for high achievers such as the students typically found at DMLC. Yet many people still insistthat your college years will be some of the best years of your lifel Well, college years can be wonderful. Here at DMLC we can enjoy special friendships, the opportunity to learn in a Christian atmosphere, and a myriad of other blessings. Yet we all have the dark cloud of schoolwork hanging over our heads, and we often let that cloud darken our whole attitude by thinking, "I could really enjoy DMLC if it weren't for the schoolwork." We can become completely overwhelmed by the pressures of college life, and the closer we get to the end of our time here, the more often we feel like the world is caving in around us and there's no escape, But there is an escape. When the pressures of college have you wound up and nervous, you can escape by taking time out to unwind. Take a half hour - or even just fifteen minutes - to do something you enjoy eve'rv day, no matter how busy you are. Relaxing a little doesn't mean that you are procrastinating - it's a necessity for your physical and mental health. Check your history - most of the greatest and busiest men of history took time out to relax. (Even our own Martin Luther took several hours of time

Dear Dana, Why don't the professors or anyone stress penmanship until we get into Professor Sievert's Teaching' Religion class? I know I personally could have benefited from an early and continual practice of my penmanship, from my first freshman class and the rest of the-way through. So now I must struggle with that as well as Bible History lessons and numerous lesson plans that take at least twice as much time as they should. I know of others who are in this, same predicament. Is there anything that can be done about it? (P.S. Even if someone decided to leave here before graduating and just doesn't want to be a teacher, that perfect penmanship will come in handy in any number of other fields).

A Concemed Student Dana says: Your concern IS well-rei:ei~iI(.( for everyone should pay careful attention to

out to pray on his busiest, most stressful days.) If you still don't believe me, ask the "super student" you've been wondering about what he thinks. I bet "super student" takes time out, tool

their penmanship. It is a reflection of our character and personality. As future teachers we know that our penmanship will one day serve as an example for our students to emulate. But should proper penmanship have to be taught and stressed at the college level? We all learned to form our letters correctly in grade school. and most of us know already that our penmanship isn't up to standard. We don't need a college ,.professor to tell us that. Isn't -it now simply a matter of putting into -practice what we 'know is right but are too lazy or rushed to do? Isn't it simply a matter of self-discipline? If, however, you would like some outside help. may I suggest making use of the' Developmental Education- Center. Professor Koestler would-be more than happy to dig up some material to help you ,. ~WitFi-your penin-anshTpor-iiny:othei area that you think needs' polishing •.

He was just a little boy. And on the Sabbath Day, Was wandering home from Sunday school. And dawdling on the way. He scuffed his toes into the grass. And found a caterpillar. He found a fluffy milkweed pod. And blew out all the filler. A bird's nest in a tree above. So wisely placed and high. Was just another wonder, That caught his eager eye. A neighbor watched his zig-zag course. "Oh, I've been to Sunday school," And hailed him from his lawn, Then carefully turned some sod, Asked him where he'd been that day, To find a small snail beneath it, And what was going on, "I've learned about our God." "That's a fine way," the neighbor said, "For a boy to SPend his time. If you can tell me where GOD is, You can have 8 brand new dime," Quick as a flash his answer came, Nor were his accents faint, "I'll give you a dollar, Mister, If you can tell me where GOD ain't.

Cinema in the Snow Full Qf:~(:!ion by Pete Schaewe Staff Writer Lightsl Ca";'e'ral . , . and ,_ Actionl ··Ci'ne.mllin the Snow,"' DMLC's 1985 Snow Camivai, opened the weekend of February 2nd and ran throughout the week to packed houses all over campus. The weather was bitterly cold and the competition fierce, but many teams boldly stepped onto the ice to kick off Snow Carnival festivities with the traditional broom ball tournament. "Luebbe's ... "' captained by Tom Banaszak lind "Binky's Bombers" led by Patty 'Binz found the cold and competition especially exhilarating as they captured the respective men's and women's broomball championship titles. Sunday night offered a warmer atmosphere but no less action when the senior men took on the faculty in a brutal basketball battle which amazingly ended tied at 59-59. Halftime entertainment presented this year's Snow Carnival queen candidates: Carole Zink. Carol Mann. Karen Krueger; Darla Hanel. Karen Schneider, Gina Hoerning, and Carla Free.

'~4

Anniversary' ReCital" by Cathy Starke Staff Writer Did you know that 19B5 is a very special year for music lovers? It marks the 300th anniversary of the births of Domenico ·Scarlatti, George Friedrich Handel, and the great Johann Sebastian Bach. In honor of this auspicious year, Prof. Ames Anderson presented an excellent recital composed of several of the works of each of these great men. The recital opened in the DMLC Chapel at 3:00 p.m. on Sunday January 27 with Bach's Cantata No. 29, "'We'ThankThee, God" and "Kyrie Eleison," performed onthe Memorial Organ. Two of Scarlatti's Sonatas in C Major _ K. 420 and K. 42.1 _ followed on the harpsichord. Featured nsxt were Handel's Allegro, Concerto in G Minor, Op. 4, No.1 on the organ, and.his Suite in, E Minor on the harpsichord, Bach's organ Passacaglia and Fugue in C Minor concluded the program.

Ring On by Ruth Spannagei Guest Writer On Sunday, February 10, the ChapelAuditorium was filled with the music of .the Handbell Choirs. Selections were taken from the different seasons of the 'church year including Thanksgiving, .Christrnas. Lent, and Easter. The majority of these selections was based on wellknown hymn tunes. Handbells were not the only thing heard in the Chapel·Auditorium on February 10. Prof. Wagner made use of the clarinet for two numbers, For these pieces Marianne Petermann played the hvrnn melody and the handbells played ·the accompaniment. The concert was very enjoyable with a variety of music both in what was played and in the selections used. What exactly happens 'before one of these concerts takes place? Like any other event on campus, people have to practice. The members of the handbell choirs put in anywhere from forty-five to ninety minutes of practice each week. Of course, there are extra practices before the concert. This concert is not the only thing done

during the course of the year. The traveling choir goes to area congregations and takes part in their church services. The handbells are used to accompany hymns, play pre-service and post-service music. and provide music during the offering. Playing in churches comprises most of what the traveling choir does. There are times when the traveling choir will go out of state. Last October they journeyed to Omaha, Nebraska, to take part in Sunday services and the area Joint Reformation Service. In April, they will be going to Watertown, Wisconsin for the annual Handbell Festival. Here there will be over 200 ringers from the synodical schools and churches. Even though the handbells aren't heard that often here on campus, they are still kept very busy with all that they do. If you missed the concert but would still like to hearthem, have no fear. You don't have to travel anywhere to do this. They will be playing for chapel services during the remainder of the year.

Congratulations to our January winners Gregg Birkholz, Tammy Kilber, Deb Luhman, and Alan Uher. The correct answer was ProfessorHeckmann. To all who guessed Professor Paulsensorry about that! This month's Mystery Prof was also born in Minnesota, aIthough he grew up in a small town in Wisconsin. His favorite subjects in school included literature, foreign languages, history, and music. He is very fond of music - he has played two musical instruments and has directed high school and church choirs. He was also quite an athlete in high school and college, having been a member of the football, basketball, and softball teams there.

Children's Theater Celebrates Anniversary by Cynthia I:fahn

St8ff Writer . Along with the many other activities on campus this spring, the Children's Theater is looking forward to celebrating their 20th year of performances at DMLC. The Children's Theaterwas first started in 1965 with Mrs. Thomas Zarling as the first student director. Since this time, the Children's Theater has put on many plays including "Snow White", "Winnie the Pooh", "The Elves and the Shoemaker", and "The Wizard of Oz". Elected as officers during their anniversary year include Deb Uhlhorn as president, Alan Uher as vice-president, Beth Teuteberg as secretary, and Terri Eisenmann as treasurer. The officers and the rest of the members of Children's Theater are looking forward to the production of "Charlotte's Web" this coming April. Professor Francis Schubkegel, Children's Theater advisor for 14 years, is anxiously looking forward to this year's performance, According to Prof, Schubkegel, "Students are very dedicated to each production, They feel that it is a privilege to be in a play like this, and they can see the good public relations between our college students and younger students from the WELS grade schools and our general community," With good weather in the past, the Children's Theater plays have prospered. Last year the play attracted capacity crowds with almost 4,000 tickets sold for the performance, Some of the people have "made a day" out of it as some travel from as far as Nebraska and Iowa to see

the spectacular performances, This year's play, "Charlotte's Web", has never been done before at DMLC. As tryouts began, with almost 40 participants, director Alah Uher said, "It was difficult to cast for this play, but I'm really happy this year. With a lot of new talent that our campus has not seen yet, everyone will be in for a big surprise." A few of these people that will be showing their tal"nt include Allison Hoewisch as Fren Arable, a sweet little eight-year-old farm girl; Judy Anderson as Wilbur, the naive and gullible but basically nice pig; Kurt Bauer as Templeton, the sarcastic self-centered rat; and Connie Kroll as Goose, a nag who tends to look down her bill at people. The main character-Charlotte. a sincere, intelligent, and kind spider - will be played by Jo Koslowske. Although it may seem at times that most of the work is done on stage, there are still other people behind the scene to organize and take care of the technicalities. These often times "not noticed people" include: director Alan Uher, co-director Beth Teuteberg, coordinator Terri Eisenmann, cocoordinator Sarah Knobloch, building producer Phil Zahn, costume producer Debbie Witte, and props producer Beth Schmick. "Charlotte's Web" is a story about true friendship and how it is personified in Charlotte and Wilbur as they go to extremes to strengthen their friendship. As the cast tries to portray their characters "there will be many long hours of planning, rehearsing, and building yet to come, but that will all payoff in the

end:'Âˇ commented Alan Uhe.r. " The cast has diligently begun working on the play and is looking forward to their performance dates, They will be holding a performance on Aprii 24 at 8:00 p.rn. for all students of DMLC and will be inviting the mentally handicapped to also attend this performance in which they will also be able to go backstage after the performance to meet all of the characters

Continuation

in person, The other performances will be on',\hursd~y and Friday, April 25 and 26 at 10:30 a.rn, and 12:45 p.m .. with a final performance on Friday evening at 7:30. Reservations for this year's performance came in before the first of the year even before the play was chosen. The ticket prices will be 50C for children and $1.00 for adults. The performance is guaranteed to be good so be sure to get out to see it!

throughout the United States and Canada. The Canadian Brass has also made television appearances on such programs as "Sesame' Street," "The Tonight Show," and with John Williams and the Boston Pops. The five men (two on trumpet and one each on horn, trombone, and tuba) are well known for their precision and blend. This was well evident in such selections as Purcell's "Trumpet Sonata:' Bach's "Toccata and Fugue in 0 minor:' and one of the group's favorites, Bach's "Little Fugue in G minor:' The men are also true showmen, which was demonstrated through such selections as the

Henderson arrangement of "Animal Suite" and "The Marriage of Feg, R.O." a modern-day detective spoof which incorporated the music of Mozart. The program was a good hour-andforty-five-minutes long. Throughout the evening the group interspersed encores into the regular program, explaining that there was never enough time at the end of a concert, so they would play one at this time. However, the Canadian Brass also played several encores at the end of the program. One interesting selection was Handel's "Hallelujah Chorus" combined with an arrangement of "When the Saints Go Marching In.'' The last piece of the evening was .Bach's timeless "Air for the G String." A moment of silence followed the last chord. What more could be said? The audience was gently reminded of the fi~e quality with which the group plays. The group of DMLC students all agreed that they were glad that they had braved the winter elements and attended.

Go West,

Young Band! by Cathy Starke Staff Writer A weekend in South Dakota! From March 22-24 the DMLC Wind Ensemble had the p'rivilege of taking their music west. The odyssey began at 2:50 Friday afternoon. South Shore High School gym was the scene of the first concert. That night. band members enjoyed the hospitality of the members of Our Savior Lutheran Church, South Shore. A novel experience awaited them in Marvin, South Dakota: a visit to Blue Cloud Abbey, first established as a mission for the Sioux Indians. The OMLC group took a tour olthe place, guided by a Benedictine monk wearing traditional black robes. That was where the stereotypical tradition ended though - "the crazy monk" as band members affectionately called him, displayed a vivid sense of humor and everyone had a

good time. The group was impressed that the monks have built and now run the entire abbey themselves. Band members' . interest was also caught by a WELS mission - a laundromat converted into a church in Milbank, South Dakota. Saturday night the band stayed with members of St. Martin Lutheran Church in Watertown, and played a concert in their parochial school gym. To help with Sunday services, the band became a

choir. The last concert was played in Good Shepherd Lutheran School gymnasium,

by Kathy Hinderer Staff Writer As the sun rose all. March 18. Prof. Thomas Kuster and the eleven members of his Argument and Advocacy in Writing class were on their way to the state capitol at SI. Paul to observe how' rhetoric operates in the real world and affects every one of us. The class made it to the capitol in time to attend a portion of an 8:30 Senate Government Operations Committee hearing. In fact. we beat most of the committee members into the chambers. We heard testimony on an affirmative action bill which would ensure equal opportunity for handicapped individuals $eeking jobs with the state. The speakers were not all senators or professional lobbyists. but ordinary citizens. incl~ding ORewoman who walked to the podium

with .the aid of leg braces and crutches and presented herself to the committee as living proof that "employing the handicapped is cost efficient." Many members of the class later agreed that this was the most striking example of advocacy they saw on the trip. During the course of the day. we met and spoke with two professional lobbyists and came to the conclusion that "lobbvist" is not a dirty word. as many people seem to believe. Prof. Kuster wryly noted that he hoped we did not share this belief, as he himself is a registered lobbyist in Minnesota. Lobbying is something anyone can do, and is essential to the democratic system as a way of making the people's voice

Representative Terry Dempsey(IR) and Senator Dennis Frederickson (IR) also took time out from their busy schedules to meet with us. Both these men represent District 23, which includes New Ulm. They spoke to us about their work in the legislature and their goals and 'beliefs in regard to important' issues. In the afternoon we sat in on a session of the full House and witnessed some lively debates between the Representatives. We also toured the beautiful Capitol buildings. We headed back to New Ulm . and arrived just as the sun was setting. It had been a long day, but a worthwhile one. We came away with an increased appreciation for our democratic govern· ment and a better understanding of

advocacy in action.

Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Prof. Hermanson, the band's director, considered the tour a successful, positive experience. He ·wishes there was more time for touring. not just for recruitment. but to inform the people in the synod. who may not know much about the college, of its function and purpose.

A City on a Hill

Those who would know love must practice both understanding and forgiveness.

by Jane Zimmerman Co-Editor "This town must be oompletely dead during the summer without us here," I couldn't count the number of times I have heard a student from DMLC make this or a sjmilar comment about New utrn. Quite a few of my fellow students have told me that they don't understand how the downtown businesses can survive between school years. while quite a few more have asked me if there really is life in New Ulm during the summer, As a veteran of summer life in New Ulm, I would like.to assure the student body that, while the college is definitely a great asset to New Ulm, the city does not cease functioning during the summer months, Not only do our professors and their families live here - a lot of other interesting people do, too! I've had achance to get to know a number of these people, and they usually have a lot of things about DMLC that they would like to know. Our alma mater calls us, very fittingly, "a city on a hill." In a number of ways we are like a separate little city on top of 'the hill: Yet we are also a part of the city of New Ulm - a city full of many wonderful people who would really like to get to know more about our college. Sometimes our best opportunities to tell others about our church are right on our doorstep, yet we overlook them, Is it possible that this is the case with the people of New Ulm?Think about it: When was the last time you took part in a community eventor even struck up a friendly conversation with a New Ulm resident you just met? If it's been a while, consider making the effort at your next opportunity, There really IS life in New Ulm - and the people there want to get to know about the city on the hill.

Pieces of Late Did everyone get a chance to see Connie Kroll on "The Price is Right'· on Wednesday, April 10? Good job, Connie!

Don't forget to mark your calendars and save time to go to the Jazz Ensemble's concert on May 2, Collegiate council officers will be elected soon. Best wishes to the candidates as they campaignl Spring banquet is just around the corner better start thinking about those corsages and bootineers ... Congratulations to Betty Carter, the New Ulm Journal's Athlete-of-the-Week for the week of April 11-17. Only about four more weeks to go, seniors! Are you getting excited?

harpsichordist. Goldberg was often called on in the middle of the night to play these variations until the count fell asleep. (Luckily they don't have the same effect on modern listeners!) Dr. John McKay from the music department -at Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter, Minnesota, was the guest artist. He arrived early to deliver a three o'clock lecture on the concert. Here he explained the plan of the variations and some of the interesting numeric and religious symbolism Bach used in his music. After an hour and a half of piano variations, the party really began. A fourteen-tier birthday cake was rolled in to the sound of "Happy Birthday, dear .Bach." The cake.was designed by Prof. .Luedtke according to specifications taken from Bach's symbolic numbers. Anyone who wants cake to feed 200 can :have the recipe. It's a great conversation piece, too.

Choir Tours Midwest by Pete Schaewe Staff Writer "Praise to the l.ord." "Our God, Our Help in Ages Past." "Lord, Thou Hast Been Our Refuge." These are only a few of the thoughts that the Dr. Martin Luther College Choir spread to almost 13,000 people as it toured the Midwest over Spring Break. " This was a special tour for the College Choir. The group normally tours every other year, and a trip was made last year. But because it is Centennial Year, a special tour was planned for the Midwest - the heartland of the Wisconsin Synod. Also because of the Centennial the entire choir had opportunity to tour. Two buses were chartered ratherthan holding auditions and shrinking the number to one bus load. Travel began immediately after classes_ on Friday, March 1, as the choir headed east for a concert in Winona, MN. The next leg of the trip was perhaps the hardest; with a nine hour ride to Stevensville, MI on Saturday, two morning services at Grace in St. Joseph, MI, an afternoon concert in Owosso, and one more at 7:30 at St. Paul's in Saginaw. Everything was timed perfectly - the

buses pulled in to Saginaw about 7:15. A snowstorm delayed action on Monday morning, which, consequently cancelled some sightseeing, but after a little recruitment at Michigan Lutheran Seminary and a wonderful dinner at Zehnder's Restaurant in Frankenmuth. the journey to Livonia was made for an evening concert. Tuesday the 5th found the buses heading back west and stopping to visit the Kellogg's plant in Battle Creek, MI and the Golden Rondel Theater in Racine, WI before another generous mea], provided by the owners of Glaser's Restaurant in Racine and a concert in Caledonia, WI. The next day included a tour of the new Synod office building, singing at Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary in Mequon, recruiting at Winnebago Lutheran Academy in Fond du Lac and a concert in Neenah. After touring Banta Publishing on Thursday morning, the group toured the AAL Home Office in Appleton and headed further north to Sturgeon Bay, where a shipyard was visited in the afternoon and

by Kathy Hinderer Staff Writer On March 29 and 30, the drama club presented its spring play Rebecca. The two performances were played to a combined audience of over 500 students, faculty and friends. The house lights were dimmed at 7:30. The play kept its audience intrigued and entertained for three hours. Besides the cast of eleven, Rebecca required the talents of many other people behind the scenes. Stage carpenters Dan Fenske and Phil Zahn put in long hours transforming the DMLC stage into the front hall of an English manor. Danica Drews, Tami Engel and Katharine Kobs worked with producer Monica Weiss to give the wardrobes of the cast members the look of the thirties. The ushers and ticket sellers, headed by Kris Altergott, did an efficient job of getting everyone to their seats. Jeff Spiaser and Matt Winkler patiently pounded the pavement putting up posters all over New Ulm, while Patti Zahn and Coral Cady had the challenging Job of making college students look middle aged with stage makeup. The creative lighting and sound was handled' by Rick Gru'ndman, Laurie Radich"el and Sue Arndt of AVCO. A special thanks also goes out to AI Uher and Children's Theater for all their help and cooperation. Overseeing it all and losing more sleep than anyone was Rebecca's director, Pete Sordahl. Despite all the hard work, everyone involved with the production agreed that it was worth the effort, and hoped, as Pete said in his" director's note. that the audience "enjoyed it as much as we did."

St. Peters Church was filled with song in the evening. Friday was busy with tours of Point Beach Nuclear Power Plant, a World War II submarine and maritime museum, a little more recruiting at Manitowoc Lutheran High School. and singing at First German Church in Manitowoc. The choir stopped only at a mall on Saturday the 9th, taking a more leisurely pace before the final hectic days of the tour. These included two concerts on Saturday: in the afternoon at St. John's, Watertown, and evening at St. Stephen's, Beaver Dam; two services at Trinity. Waukesha on Sunday morning, a concert at Atonement in Milwaukee at three o'clock, and the final concert of the tour at St. Paul's in Appleton that evening. Monday, March 11 was set aside for the return to New Ulm. And as the buses climbed the familiar hill, the choir sang one final song with words that give reason for all the bus rides, lack of sleep, and sore throats: "God's Word is our great heritage / And shall be ours forever; / To spread its light from age to age / Shall be our chief endeavor:'

Intramural Continues

Action

by Dick Goodall Sports Editor

by Laurie Zachow Staff Writer Spring has finally arrived. and with winter behind us we can look back at all of the winter intramural action, Women's intramural basketball came to a close. and the "Bean Sprouts" led by captain Tina Nell were the champions, They finished the season with a record of 11-1 . Second place went to Sharon Carl's team. with Gracie Beske's team finishing in third place and fourth place going to Theckla Schultz's team, In men's intramural basketball Auf der Flucht II, captained by Dave Kolander. were the champions for the second straight year as they beat the Dukes in a very one-sided championship game, Auf der Flucht II finished the season perfectly with no losses, Men's intramural volleyball is well underway, with 14 teams

We just didn't play good basketball, That pretty well sums up the season for both the men's and women's teams, There are 'some telling statistics which back up these statements, After jumping off-to a terrific 3 and 0 start, the Lancer men managed to win only three more games, A cold 43% shooting average tells part of the story. but they also had 42 more turnovers than their opponents, and 61 more fouls. and that's the rest of the story, The Lady Lancers managed to win one more game than did their male counterparts. but then they played three more games, Like the Lancers. the Lancerettes had problems putting the ball through the hoop. managing a Pijltry 33% from the field, Also like the Lancers. they turned the ball over more frequently than their opponents. thirty times to be exact. and they sent their opponents to the line a whopping 82 more times,

Only eight players returned from last year's team. but a promising group of freshmen will help that small nucleus, According to Coach Leopold.' "Our pitchers are looking good - seem to be throwing harder this year than last, If we can have the same solid hitting we had last year. defense will be our key to a good season," Co-captains for this year's team are Tammy Speidel and Sal Mose,

Seniors Survive by Karen Krueger Staff Writer There comes a time in the life of ellery DMLC student to do the "impossible". They are called upon to go to foreign places unknown to them. They must contact and' establish new acquaintances. They must instill knowledge. Yes. student teaching is demanded and endured by all of those who have managed to make it to that sought-after senior year. To the onlooker who watches the senior class come and go through the quarters. not much difference is noted. Perhaps upon return one notices a few more gray hairs. the ~eepening of wrinkles. or the increase in coffee consumption; but by and large excitement for a class of their own is the pervading emotion. "But what really happened those 8 weeks which you were away?" "Were the students a joy?" "Did you get any sleep?I" Filled with memories. stories. (and maybe a little relief) the seniors return to share their ..experience with others. And being the "new 'kid on the block." those embarrassing moments are bound to pop upl Take. for an example. a story by Karyn 8risso: "After presenting a lesson. class. was held up for a moment while I searched for the worksheets that were to ,be the assignment. I had forgotten where I'd put them down. Holly immediately raised her hand and announced. 'Miss,

Brisso. you're losing your memory!'" Then there is the best time of day recess. Can things go wrong even during recess? Ask Jim Hussmann: "My supervising teacher had told me to participate in recess a little more. So I grabbed the students and told them we were going to play football. We organized sides and I played quarterback for both sides. Our playground was the parking lot. In the second play, I dropped back to pass. One of my 7th grade girls was chasing me, As I scrambled to get away, I tripped over my own feet, skidded across the pavement, and ripped a big hole in my pants. All my students wouldn't let me forget itl This happened at the noon recess. so I still had a half-day left. Needless to say, I stapled my pants together and stood behind the podium for the rest of the afternoon, From then on, I stood around and supervised instead of playing." Of course when your supervising teacher comes from DMLC everything goes smoothly, right. Lisa Luedtke? "It was one of the days that Prof. Menk came to observe my teachinl!.: One of my 1st grade girls-raised her hand to ask what I ;lhought would be a question about math. She turned around and looked at Prof. Menkas she asked, 'Miss Luedtke, do you have a boyfriend?' I laughed and explained that Prof. Menk was my teacher arid not my boyfriend."

But if you' want some really good suggestions of what to do with 23 restless 8th graders, ask Dan Dettmann. "It was a very warm day outside and spring fever \ las at its peak. By the time afternoon study period came around every one of the 8th graders, all 23 of them, were very restless and had a look in his/her eyes like dogs have just before you give them raw meat. Things were tense. Almost everyone had his homework done, so I stood up, out of my desk and said, 'Let's go out and play dodgeballl!' This statement was met by a chorus of 'hurrays!' and 23 8th graders scurried to get their coats. Little did I realize the mistake I had made!" The game started out very well. As you know, the object of dodgeball is for the person in the middle of the circle to avoid all of the balls flying at him/her. Everyone was having a great time and so was I until I heard the infamous words, 'Student teachers in the middlell' I am no moron, so naturally I refused. My'refusal was met in the traditional 8th grade way - 23 children yelled 'Chicken!' and began flapping their arms. Unable to control this riot, I demonstrated the courage of Pontius Pilate and stepped into the middle of the circle. I've done smarter things in my life. I had forgotten that original sin had turned each of these children into

potential killers. It was like being in the colosseum in Rome except that the victims in Rome only had to face lions. I had to face twenty-three 8th graders. I did very well for about 1 second, but then it happened. Someone yelled, 'GOI' The first red, rubber ball luckily managed to hit me directly in the face, knocking me backward. I was much luckier with the second ball. It only hit me iQ the upper back. Happily most of the other balls also managed to find their marks - which just happened to be me. I finally managed to surrender (feeling like Ft. Sumter) and I staggered inside, Trust me, the next time your class is restless, give them a test with no curve. They deserve it," But Becky Siegler tells us there are promising moments. "During my 3rd quarter student teaching at St. Paul's in the first grade room, I was teaching a unit on telling time. Ooe.day, as I was starting to go up for math class. the kids took one look at the boo路k.1 was holding and cheered! I was so stunned 路路'that the children were soenthused about learning to tell time!!" So, congratulatfons seniors, you made itll All of those ap)l'E,hensions, questions, and embarrassing 'moments are a part of the past. A challenge was placed before you, and you met it. You did the "impossible". You survived student teaching!!

A FULL LENGTH CONCERT OF FUN

March/April 1985

AND HOOPLA

by Blair Schaper

Guest Writer It was a dark and stormy night and FABULOUS BLIND BABS AND THE ,CATARACTS, were. together for practice in the Music Center. As the music expounded from the group, one could hear the history behind the sounds. The band did not have an easy start, as all bands do, they came from the bottom, to the pinacles of stardom. The original group consisted of six members, three of which were later lost in the shuffle of time. That group was titled "Earwiq" and soon died. Their controversial song "Sewage Love" passed away as silently as Jim Morrison. During the early months of 1982, a search was conducted to find new talent to replace the holes left in the band. As the next tour approached, Scott Schmudlach, the band's original guitar player, heard a rumorof a gifted new artist on the scene. That artist's name was "'Cowboy Dan" Dettman. Finally, the tour was started with the hit single "Mellow Love Song" leading the way to the top of the music charts. Later in that tour, a music upheaval 'overwhelmed the new Earwig group. "Cowboy" Dan started the country craze for the band. Needless to say, this new genre became an immediate success. During the start of the 1984 world tour, the new band.,.~qs.is_ted of- original members ScottÂˇ Schmudlach and Steve Fritze, "Cowboy" Dan, and new members Blair Schaper on banjo and keyboards, and Dave "Sticks" Retzlaff on drums. This group was asked to present a benefit concert to celebrate the D.M.L.C. Homecoming. Schaper not in attendance was helped out by a new saxophone find out of Wisconsin. This man's name was John "Sax" Sebald. As it happened, the theme for the night was not country music, but fifties rock and roll. Dan was distraught, but agreed to perform the new type of sound. That night, before the

concert, tragedy struck. It was learned that the lead bass player for the group, now entitled "Danny Loveheart and the Throbs", was severely injured in a headon crash with a football helmet. But to the amazement of the band and stage crew, Steven Paul Fritze was rolled onto the stage without complaint, and the show went Âˇon.

Suddenly, during the final days of the tour, Dan violently took ill due to a severe case of Nashville Fever, he had to leave the band. It was also during this time, the band's keyboard player, Schaper, rejoined the group. As Dan would have wanted. the band continued to play country-western under the new name of "Cowboy George and ~ulture Club." The highlight of this group occurred during the .sp.r:jng o~ the} World Tour. The band was asked to perform live at the World High Tech Expo in the famous Holiday Inn of New Ulm. Letters were written to the entertainment committee of 1985 DMLC .hornecoming. The band wanted. to perform music again - fifties music. It was an obsession and nothing was going to get in their way. Money was no object to these men, they started to recruit new members. Out of Readfield came guitar player extraordinaire James "Jimmy" Brandt. From Jackson, the group grabbed brass player Precious Paul Herrian. And out. of Chicago, a man called Chubs Hussman and his singers made up of Jumping Jerry Zeamer and Tom "The Hit Man"' were commissioned to support the vocals.

Practices went on into the nights, but all agreed, something was missing. Was the effort a waste? Was the searching in' vain. Many sleepless nights were spent trying to find the missing puzzle piece. But fate was not to rain on this picnic. During a routine trip to the guitar pick store, the group passed a man selling pencils along Minnesota Street. It was him ... It was the founder of fifties music - Fabulous Blind Babs ... As it happened, contracts were signed, and the rest is history. What you will see on Saturday, April 27, is an everflowing river of several men's dreams and their desire that the show must go on. This is exactly how it happened. Enjoy.

on their last performance of the year with "young and old" attending. Although the Children'S Theater plays are based for the young, all that went enjoyed thrs rendition of Charlotte 's Web. No matter what character was performing. interest was never void. for there was never a dull moment. Sophomore Judy Anderson played Wilber the pig with some of his friends consisting of Fern Arable played by Allison Hoewish, Charlotte played by Jo Koslowske, and Templeton the rat pl~yed by Kun Bauer,.As ,II of the farm anomals jOined together tq save Wilber's life on the farm, the ~st and crew did an excellent job keeping all entertained.

So as visions of vacation, summer. and NO homework fill the minds of students ready to pack up and go home, the professors are also gearing up for changes of their Own.

From the Editors' · A college education

Contradictions by Judy.Oelikst Co-Editor It's not the end, it's really the beginning. Look at a greeting card - a graduation card, even - and you will see ambiguity. Most of them wish the graduate happiness and success in whatever they choose to do with their lives. We think that doesn't really apply to us because we know what we will be doing, and yet we don't, Most of us won't know where we'll live nextyearorwhatwe can do over the summer until two days before graduation. Some will wait until July. August.' September. possibly even Christmas. We know and yet we don't. "Are you happy to be graduating?" people ask. Yes and no, we reply. Yes, it's a relief to be finished with school for awhile and use the knowledge and skills we've gained. On the other hand. it's sad to leave behind memories, familiar buildings, friendly faces. Yes and no. It's not the end, it's really the beginning. Think about it. It's true more often than not. You finis~ high school and start college. The first year is finished, and the second begins. You end your college education, only to begin a completely new kind of learning. You leave behind college friends and make way for a whole new set offriends. Even the college celebrated a century of quietness and trust in the Lord. only to look ahead to another century of His grace. Things are always beginning and ending - atthe same time. With this same kind of ambiguity and contradiction. I happily (and sadly) turn overthe Messenger to my co-editor, Jane Zimmerman. To the 1985 graduates. the Messenger wishes you God's richest blessings in all things. wherever He may lead you: . May the road of life lead ever on That you may always see Contentment. peace. and happiness, And joy continually And .though we may not meet again On life's short road ahead We pray that God may guide your steps, And angels guard your head.

Editor's Note Jane Zimmerman Co-Editor Once again the closeof a school year brings mixed emotions. As excited and relieved as we all are to have successfully completed another year. itis also a sad time as we say good-bye to our graduating friends. For the MESSENGER staff. this means bidding farewell to fourfaithful workers. We will certainly miss the expertise in photography and in the darkroom that Dave Schroeder and 81airSchaper have shown us all these years. Joe Pitonak's faithful and creative work as a staff writer also has been. greatly appreciated. And. finally. we will of course miss Judy Delikat. From my first year at DMLC. when I was the news editor and she was assistant editor. to this year. when she has taught me a lot about the newspaper and about being a dedicated worker. Although I am looking forward to working with mynew co-editor, Patti Zahn. next year. I will miss my partner of the past three years very much. Good-bye Judy, Dave. Blair. and Joe. and thank-you for all you've done ~or us. We wish you God's blessings in your teaching and in all you do. '

Activities of the End

A Different, Sort of Bible History

by Pete Schaewe Staff Writer

by Cathy Starke Staff Writer On April lB. in the auditorium. we were honored with the presence of Dr. Paul Maier. here to present the last lyceum of the school year. We had heard tie was "funny" but only those who had listened to him before could have been prepared. He was not only funny in a very lively way. but extremely well informed. easy to understand. and exciting. An amusing story of his experience with a Minnesota winter was his opener. and he quickly put everyone at ease. We were ready to enjoy his talk. Dr. Maier is a professor of ancient history at Westem Michigan University. so his relaxed. flowing style was enlivened by an obviously keen interest in his subject matter. Some of us were probably surprised to learn how many outside historical sources there are. other than the Bible. on Jesus and his contemporaries. Dr. Maier quoted for us the text of the arrest warrant for Jesus issued by the Sanhedrin. Very reliable sources show that the high priest. Annas was really a "godfath;,' in Jerusalem, -;DL' .Maier 'also: argued convincingly that the crowd which IJad.hailed-lesus with.ho$Bnnahs on Palm Sunday was not the same crowd that shouted "Crucify himl" on Friday morning. Friday's hostile mob was most likely composed of temple workers Annas' had brought for the occasion. These are just a few examples of the sort of intriguing material Dr. Maier presented in his talk. "The Politic.s

Behind the Crucifixion" on April 18. at 8:00 p.m. and in his other talk "What Happened After Acts 28" on Friday. April 19 at 10:15 a.m. He stated the fact that we Christians don't need anything besides the 8ible to support our faith. But he also repeated several times that Christianity is the only faith in the world that has historical documentation available. The historical record of Jesus and the early Christians can be a valuable tool

Mystery Prof Congratulations, to our lone winner for last month. Sue Nelson. The correct answer to the puzzle was Professor Bartel. Sue will be rewarded for her clever deduction with a gift certificate for the Round Table, The final Mystery Prof for this school year came in with the "Dirty Thirties." He was born and raised io- Wisconsin- .but feels "at home" in South ·Dakota. Alie; ,spen!!i))g.two years in kindergarten (?)he proceeded rapidly through elementary and high school. college, and the seminary. He was on hand to help in the launching 'of one of our Lutheran high schools in Wisconsin in the early Fifties. )ip currently enjoys reading and watching athletic events. He has no children - no pets eitherl

SPORTS by Dick Goodall Sports Editor

The Lancers are enjoying a much better spring in 1985, than they did in 1984. At this writing they are seven and 'three overall. and three and three in conference play. Hitting has been the biggest factor in their wins. but the Lancer's pitching has been a pleasant surprise too. If you haven't seen them play. come on out.

A DMLC sweep of al! seven matches against Concordia College has been the highlight of the season for the women's tennis team. The win enabled the

in winning for Christ skeptics who want historical proof before they will really listen to the gospel. In I Cor. 9:22. Paul writes "To the weak. I became weak to win the weak. I have become all things to all men so that by all possible means I might save some." To those needing historical proof we can become those having historical proof, that, we might save some.

DMLC on Monday. April 15. After a rousing reveille. a hearty breakfast, and chapel. the Seniors took off, and the rest of the students took rakes in hand to help rid the campus of the winter's mess. After lunch everyone was free to enjoy the sun and beautiful day. Formal dresses were ironed, corsages and boutonnieres were purchased forthe Spring Activities Banquet on May 4. This year's theme was "Pirates of the. Caribbean," and the gymnasium, was beautifully transformed into a Caribbean scene with an island, pirateship, and, of course, pirate figures themselves. Entertainment followed a dinner of ham and shrimp and the presentation of awards, There are many other signs of spring and the end of the school year at DMLC. The Spring Picnic always means that there are few days left. This year ii will be held (weather permitting) on May 12. in . Luther Hollow. . The choirs have been singing like the birds of spring. and the Wind Ensemble has also been making music as all groups prepare 'for May Night on the 17th.

GLIMPSES

THROUGH

CHILDREN'S EYES

by Karen Lindeman Staff vvriter This has perhaps been a long year for some of us, but looking back, we can see that many good things have happened to us, to spite the bad things. We have all enjoyed quite a few things about the school yearÂˇ'aswe look back. Today, the second through eighth grade students of Susan Haarand Carla Melendy of Atonement Lutheran School in Baltimore, MD. would like to share with us their favorite part of the school year. My favorite thing is gym because we play line soccer. It is fun. Oevra Ouenenberrv,2nd Grade I like gym because we get to play lone soccer. We also jump rope. We can play pin born bard ment. We have so much fun. We do all sorts of stuH. I LIKE GYMI Joel Johnson, 2nd' Grade I like it when we play hne soccer because my foot can get exercise. My foot can get better at kicking. I like it because you call a number 1. 2. 3, or 4. If your number gets called two people run up and dribble and try to SCore. Soccer is my favorite sport. John Keller. 2nd Grade

I saw a man dress up like Bach. He made a horn out of a garden hose! He also played the piano for us! I liked it' Jenny Cammarata. 2nd Grade

The best part of the school year was going to the Science Center. In the planetarium we saw a roof shaped like a balloon. We saw different planets. stars. and different clouds. We saw a robot with Ioghts all over it. The robot looked Iokea catapult. The Science Center is a fun place to go. James Johnson. 4th Grade My favorite part of the school year IS when we have bowling Quizzes.Some of the bowling quizzes we have had have sixty problems. I could only get up to 52. The qutzzes are addition. subtraction. multiplication and division. I think bowling quizzes are fun and educational too. Temmie FIsher. 4th Grade The thing I liked best this school year was the Bach presentation. This year marks his 300th birthday, and St. Pauls Lutheran Church In Glen BWlnle. MD. had a professor from Nebraska do a Bach oreseruanon. It was interesunq to hear him play the harpsichord. the sackbut. the garden hose. and many -other mstrurnents. He also Informed us' very descnptively of Bach's life. This ISwhat I liked best about this school year. Jimmy Cammarata. 5th Grade My favorite part of the school year IS when the 5th. 6th. and 8th graders read the Cbromctes of Narma by C,S. LeWIS.I enjoyed these books because they were Interesting and exciting. After we read the books. we had to do a project relating to the books. Some kids drew pictures or made scenes. Others built models, I enjoved dOing the project.

This year our school saw a play about J.S. Bach. The man who played Bach told us about Bach's life. He also played some of the instruments from Bach's time. We heard some of Bach's music, too. The play about' Bach was my favorite part of this school year. Karen Quesenberry, 5th Grade My Iavonte part of the school year was when we went to see a show on Bach. The show was excellent. I had a good time. A man put on a wig and dressed up In the same kind of clothes people would have worn In those days. He also played many different Instruments. Some were very odd. One was made out of a garden â&#x20AC;˘ hose. I really would like to see the show allover again. I'm very glad that we got to go to see the show. Elame Fostervotd, 6th Grade My favonte part of the school year was the first week. I feel this way because we were able to resquamt ourselves WIth our friends. We were also able to start a new year of work WIth our teachers and

classmates. In the beginning w'e were given our' new books for the year. Altogether. the first week was the most rnteresunq.
