THE LONE STAR LUTHERAN
Page 3
By BILL POEHLMANN
n the spirit of many feverish early morning hours,
Following the feeble light of dorm windows at midnight,
Representing the half-addled brain of cramming,
(yes, Homecoming court does get on the mind)
it seems only appropriate to list, in ninety-five (more or less)
ways, how to spend your spare time during Homecoming week.
Count the number of spigots in the Baldus men’s room. Or, find an
panhandled contemporary card in the Bookstore. Try to find out
** where the janitor goes after hours. Locate the worn out copies of
last year’s Te Deum. Count the number of torn up fine sheets in
Knutson. Teach yourself to play the guitar by hearing your
neighbor. Learn electronics and become a sociology major.
Find out your car’s braking distance on the Wupperman sidewalk.
Interview James Michner and find out his copyrights.
JfCheck Rodgers and Hammerstein’s too. Write to the Library
~*of Congress for a copy of Dr. Castro’s theses. Translate it.
Guess the number of nose cones in Cuba, in Turkey.
Figure out a workable disarmament proposal. Forget it.
Calculate the mean deviation of absentees from Convo.
Misplace books in the library stacks and then ask for them.
Learn how to control the dorm thermostat or cut off your radiator.
^Figure out how many times your wooden coffee spoon has been washed.
^ Take notes on last year’s rumors.
. Build a float.
Conference Slated
The fourteenth annual “Church
in Town and Country” Conference
is to be held on November 12. The
general theme, “Facing the
Facts” is concerned in making
both country and town congrega-
tions as effective and organized
as possible. The emphasis is to in-
v volve not only the adults in church
activities but also the teenagers
and youngsters.
These Church in Country and
Town Conferences are a continua-
tion of the old Rural Church Life
^Conferences. An extension to the
^ town churches was felt necessary
as so many rural churches grew'
to become town churches.
The place of meeting is to be
the Chapel of the Abiding Pres-
- ence. A registration fee of $2.09
^will cover the meals. Some acti-
vities planned are a panel discus-
sion on “The Church Council
■ Takes a Look at Itself” as well
as talks by Rev. H. M. Adix, Prof.
B. Baumbach and Dr. William
Kraushaar.
* The daylong meeting beginning
'P with registration at 9:00 a. m.
and closing with a business meet-
ing at. 5:00 p. m. and a prayer
v/ill compose the “Church in
Town and Country” Conference.

British Movie
TLCers looking for a worthwhile,
enjoyable, and thought-provoking
evening will want to attend Cry
the Beloved Country Sunday night.
This British film is based on Alan
Paton’s book of the same name
which is one of the Christian Lit
books for the semester. The main
theme involves the white man’s
going in South Africa and breaking
up the native tribes. A native min-
ister provides the character strug-
gling for existence when white
men leave no substitute for the
native's way of life.
Students may get free tickets
in the new ticket office, Room 111
Old Main, from 1-5 p. m. Thurs-
day and Friday and 9 a. m.-noon
Saturday.
The Little "Whiz"
The invasion of Mars over the
homecoming v/eekend turned out
not to be an invasion after all. In-
stead, the curious (yet puzzled)
student body and townspeople j
were shown an IBM computer
whose talents were as varied as
the minds that programed it. A
feature of the Sociological Re-
search Center, which was opened
during Homecoming week, the
little “whiz” really made a va-
riety of impressions not only on
campus, but also on the people
of Seguin.
Many were the comments as the
spectators watched the brain in
action; even those who saw the
1620 IBM breakdown were en-
thused about it. The comments
ranged all the way from “a pret-
ty color,” “great, but couldn’t un-
derstand it” to “too noisy.” Many
of the boys really went for the
great games of blackjack that it
played. The little thinker went al-
most undefeated; it even went as
far as to include choice remarks
about the game.
Another comment was that if
all the students at TLC were as
smart as the machine, we might
get somewhere. Some remarks on
the more serious side were that
although it would be a bit expen-
sive to run full time, a part time
use would really put our college
up to date. Another excellent com-
ment was that our behavioral
sciences on this campus were low
enough ^and that a computer would
really aid in updating all aspects
of education on campus.
