Student Center
Goal of $1200
Not Yet Reached
Despite the high expectations
of the Student Center Committee,
the goal of $1200 needed for build-
ing and furnishing a Student Cen-
ter has not been reached. Only
21 students submitted contribu-
tions after the Christmas holi-
days, amounting to $192.60.
The committee, appointed by
the president of the Student-Fac-
ulty Council, asked that each stu-
dent aid in raising funds for the
project while at home. An aver-
age of $5 per student has been
estimated as sufficient to reach
the $1200 goal.
Supplementing the money con-
tributed is the profit obtained
from the Snack Bar since it has
been in operation. This amounts
to approximately $45.
No word has been received by
President Kraushaar concerning
the Army surplus building which
is to be used for the Student Cen-
ter until a new commons building
is constructed. As soon as our
need for it is approved by the of-
ficials, arrangements can be made
,for erecting it on the campus.
Most of the $1200 will be used
for the purchase of the building
and the remainder for furnish-
ings.
The chairman of the Student
Center Committee, Ed Sobey. stat-
ed that the enthusiasm exhibited
by everyone when the project was
first undertaken has not been
manifested by the contributions
received.

Betas Entertain 24
Freshman Girls
And Escorts Jan. 11
The Beta Alpha Sigma Sorority
entertained twenty-four Fresh-
man girls and their escorts with
a party on Saturday night, Jan-
uary 11.
About nine o’clock, doorbells be-
gan to ring in Seguin homes. Upon
opening their doors, startled resi-
dents were met with such ques-
tions as, “Do you have an old dill
pickle you could spare, or perhaps
an empty rum bottle that you
could lend us?”
The Beta Alpha Sigma’s party
guests had begun their scavenger
hunt. The members of the soror-
ity and their escorts, and the
Freshman girls with their escorts
met at the American Legion Hall
at 8 :00 p. m. Groups were formed
and lists of articles to be found
were distributed, and then the
scavenger, hunt began. There was
a prize for the first group back
with all the articles on its list. Do-
ris Ellis. Orlando Schraub, Gay-
nelle Brown, and Kenneth Tie-
mann formed the winning group.
Later all helped themselves to
hot dogs, potato chips, cokes, and
cookies. A record-player fur-
nished music for the guests’ en-
tertainment during the rest of the
evening, which lasted until twelve
o'clock since the dormitory girls
had been given late permission
for this special occasion.
The Beta members present and
their escorts were as follows:
Frances Forshage, Sammy Terry,
Pat Filgrim, Herbert Liberty,
Miss Evelyn Fiedler, head of the
chemistry department, is a very,
versatile person, but did you know
that she is also an author? The
December 28 issue of the Luther-
an Standard contained an article
written by Miss Fiedler.
This article, entitled “The Star
cf Bethlehem,” explains the
science behind the appearance of
the “brilliant, mysterious star
which led the Magi to Bethlehem,
and of which we are reminded in
song, story, and Christmas deco-
ration.”
The article sets forth the possi-
bility that the star was either a.
conjunction of planets, a nova, or
a comet blazing across the sky.
TLC Gets $2,500
For Organ Fund
A recent donation of $2,500 has
been received by the Development
Association from Carl and Edward
Sagebiel of Seguin. With this do-
nation the . organ fund now con-
tains $7,500.
An additional $14,600 has been
received from various contribu-
tors for the chapel building. A
memorial gift of $500 was received
last year from a student of Texas
Lutheran College. No soliciting
for the chapel fund has been made
as the ex-students of Texas Luth-
eran College have been more than
generous in their donations.
The site for the chapel is still
undecided, but it is hoped that
the chapel will be located some-
where on the campus at approxi-
mately the same time that TLC
becomes a senior college.

Approve Plans For
New Library Building
Addition of the third year of
college work to the educational
program of Texas Lutheran Col-
lege has been postponed from
September, 1947, to September,
1948, according to report of the
Board of Regents’ meetings held
here December 31 and in San An-
tonio at St. John’s Parish House
on January 8.
According to reports of the
meetings it is now definitely
planned to open with all four years
of curriculum in September, 1948.
The major reasons for the delay
are shortages of labor and mater-
ials and a rise of prices.
Since it would be impossible
for the present sophomore class
to take up junior work here next
year, they will be asked to attend
another college or university in
their junior year and return for
the senior year, giving them the
privilege of being the first senior
class to graduate from Texas Lu-
theran College.
The Board of Regents adopted
the plans for the library-instruc-
tion building, which will be com-
pleted by September, 1948, to-
gether with the new addition to
Weeber Hall. This new library-
instruction building will contain
a large stack room capable of con-
taining 75,000 volumes and a
large reading room to seat over
100 students. There will also be
a large faculty and board room
where the faculty and Board of
Regents will hold their regular
meetings. The building will have
a large terrace outdoor reading
room which will be enclosed by
shrubbery and flowers. The build-
ing will consist of two floors, and
the remaining space will be made
up of thirteen classrooms and of-
fices for fourteen instructors and
the librarian.

Bulldogs Score 3rd
Conference Victory
The TLC Bulldogs handed Vic-
toria Junior College a 56 to .40 de-
feat in what may be called
a thrilling game, Friday night,
January 17, at Morisse Gym.
Victoria scored first,- but the
Lutherans came soaring back to
get into the lead. Several times
during the first period the score
was tied, but at the end of the
fiist half TLC was out in front
with a score of 33 to 29. The Bull-
dogs remained ahead throughout
the entire second half.

“O bless the house, whate’er

Where Jesus Christ is all in all:
With the singing of this hymn,
the Wiederaenders’ home was de-
dicated in a brief service held
Sunday, January 12, at the newly-
erected home. Included in the
service was the dedication of the
religious alcove which will hold a
small replica of tire Blessing
Christ.
The house plans were carefully
made by Dr. Wiederaenders with
many ideas of his own and some
from Better Hornes and Gardens.
One unique idea is the ashtray in
the fireplace which removes the
ashes to a bin which can easily be
emptied from the garage. A door
next to the fireplace leading to the
woodpile also makes things easier.
