■Ricky says: So it’s Friday the
thirteenth, the only bad luck
that could bring is a defeat for.
.the Pan-American Broncos.
Don’t forget the game tonight.
< - . Easter Vacation Is Just Six
Days Away. The long awaited
rest from the books is almost
here. After that it’s the home
stretch.
Before you go home for the
holidays why not stop in at
Reichman’s and pick up some-
thing for the Easter Parade.
In case you missed the front
page don’t forget applications
for a place on the ballot for stu-
dent government seats for next
year must be filled before you
leave for the holidays. Good
student government is up to you
as an interested member of the
student body. The heart and
soul of the student body is the
students who are willing to give
of themselves to make TLC a
better school. Really, I couldn’t
be more serious.
Boy, what a letdown. I heard
from a reliable source that the
Easter Bunny is not related to
the big-eared jack seen so often
in one of the nation’s hottest
CjL magazines.
■ All of you travelers who will
be heading to Fort Lauderdale
over the holidays just remem-
ber to wear your TLC sweat-
shirts. Walter will really appre-
ciate the free advertisement. If
you feel you- can’t go that far,
try Galveston. They had a pret-
ty good riot last year.
It really doesn’t matter
where you go for the holidays.
Have a good time. See you next
week, well after the holidays
anyway. Ricky Reichman.

annual Passion Concert on Wed-
nesday evening, April 18. The
concert will be in the Chapel of
the Abiding Presence and begins
at 8 p. m.
Accompanying the Choir this
year will be the San Antonio
Symphony String Ensemble. The
main work to be presented by
the combined efforts of the Choir
and ensemble will be Bach’s Eas-
ter Cantata, “Christ Lag in To-
desbanden.”
Another feature of the Passion
Concert is the Trinity Handbeh
Choir from Austin. The Rev. Mar-
tin Ramming, pastor at Trinity
Lutheran Church, conceived the
idea of a Bell Choir. The original
37 bells were given to the church
as a memorial gift in 1958. These
37 bells incorporate three chro-
matic octaves. Each bell is a pre-
cision, hand-tuned instrument,
ranging in weight from a few
ounces to ten pounds. White Cha-
pel Foundry in London, England
(the same foundry that poured
our Liberty Bell) poured the bells
used by the Handbell Choir. A
special bronze alloy known as
bell metal was used for the bells.
Handbells have a long and in-
teresting history, Once the bells
were nothing more than a means
of locating grazing animals or of
frightening away evil spirits. The
bell soon found its place in the
church as early as the Fourth
Century when the Bishop of Cam-
pania felt that the church needed
a method for calling its worship-
pers together. By the Twelfth
Century, western monks had mas-
tered the art of bronze casting and
These first church bells were
suspended from a standard and
were struck with mallets. During
the Fifteenth Century, a work-
able clapper was incorporated
into the construction of bells. The
inner clapper opened a new era
of musical control and simplicity
of performance. By 1700 musical | form with the bells. At present
handbells designed to be rung by
a group of people made their first
appearance.
The Handbell Choir of Trinity
Lutheran has been used in the
musical program of the parochial
school since the 37 bells were
given to the school. Grades three
through six learn to play and per-
there are three performing Beil
Choirs in the congregation. The
Senior Handbell Choir has per-
formed in many services for civic
and church organizations during
the three years since its founding.
The student body and public is
invited to share in this memorable
event next Wednesday night.
Dear An Adder
DEAR READERS: Recently my'
mailbag has been flooded with,, in
addition to the usual poison-pen
letters, many letters dealing with
the subject of manners at various
cultural functions. So, today I
would like to dedicate my entire
column to this matter. I’m sure
you’ll all just love it, dearies!
Lovingly, An Adder.
DEAR AN ADDER: What do
you think of a man who is so ill-
mannered as to ask a lady to re-
move her hat in public? Last Sun-
day afternoon I went to see “La
Bohemian” at the opera, and I
looked so very nice, if I DO say
so myself. I wore my strapless
fuchsia evening gown (the one
with the rhinestone top), my imi-
tation mink fur, and the brand-
new hat that I bought especially
for the occasion. Oh, it’s just
beautiful! It has purple and or-
ange roses just all over it, and
a lovely green veil.
And that horrible man had the
nerve to ask me to take it off!
Why, he could have turned his
head to the side and seen around
me just fine. Furthermore, he and
his date were laughing at MY
husband. He looked almost as
stylish as I, in his new plaid sport

Twas an ill and chilly wind
that blew our Senate together for
their 26th conclave last Wednes-
day evening . . . most likely the
same ill wind that brought Sena-
tors Braulick and Sandberg back
from the expensive convention at
Wartburg.
Senator Schumacher gave a fi-
nancial report, which was a rath-
er serious mistake, because then
the Senate finally realized how
much of our money they had been
spending. As of March 31, there
was $216.91 left in the pot. Sound
good ? O. K. except for the fact
that the Senate still owes $262.00
for a certain plane fare for an
uncertain convention. Looks like
the Project Projector Beggars
will have to return to work in
order to get the Senate off the
hook, line and sinker (that’s what
they swallowed).
For about 20 minutes, we all
slept through a wildly enthusias-
tic report about that expensive
convention. The reporters were
Senators Braulick and Sandberg.
They reported at your expense.
The main portion of Miss Sand-
berg’s speech was given over to
explaining what all had been ac-
complished. Well, for one thing,
they listened to speeches, then
they talked, then more speeches,
and then more talk. In between,
they found out that other colleges
have the same problems as TLC,
which is rather enlightening • sub-
ject material. Especially since we
thought no Senate could ever deal
with the fantastic problems that
our Senate does.
The greater part of Senator
Braulick’s monologue was related

to giving an idea of how cold it
was in Iowa ... a rather expen-
sive weather report. He also
talked a great deal about the
plans for next year’s convention.
This beats all . . . to send a rep-
resentative to one convention so
that he can come back and re-
port on what is going to happen
at next year’s convention. But,
rest easy, both Senators had a
good time and recommended send-
ing two or three next year because
“we got a lot out of it.” Goodie
Gum-drop.
The remainder of the evening’s
business had to be classed as cli-
mactic since it followed some-
thing rather anti-climactic. For
one thing, Senate elections are
coming up soon. Th.e Senate felt
that they ought to get someone
to run. This was a rather nice
gesture, since an election with no
participants would b e rather
novel.
Also, the Senate finally took
care of Lucky by shedding their
hands of the whole affair. Any-
one caring to see our School Mas-
cot will now be directed to Mr.
Chuck Sheppard’s humble abode.
Incidentally, our Senate disposed
of this entire complicated matter
in 30 seconds . . . pretty fast
work for pretty slow wits.
The final matter on the agenda
was again one of great import-
ance. President Derrick announc-
ed the appointment of a Freshman
Initiation Evaluation Committee.
From the name, one would sup-
pose that the purpose of this most
vital committee would be to eval-
uate what there was of Freshmen
Initiation last fall. Actually, Isa-
iah thinks that this whole thing
is a plot by the Lutheran Students
Association to invade the sancti-
fied echelons of the Senate, since
initiation last fall consisted in
little more than playing advanced
Luther League games in front of
Emma Frey. Anyone for Drop the

coat that matches his shrimp-col-
ored slacks, and with his white
bucks like Pat Boone’s. Of course,
I did tell him that a yellow tie
was a bit conservative, but that’s
no excuse for those awful people
to laugh at him. Dear Addy, why
do such ill-mannered, ignorant
people go to the opera anyway ?
Cultured Citizen
DEAR CULTURED CITIZEN:
Yes, why do such ignorant people
attend operas? For your answer,
ask yourself. Formal dress at an
opera is appropriate only at the
opening of the season, if it' is cus-
tomary, and even then is limited
to those in box and orchestra
seats. Ladies wear conservative
dresses or suits, gloves, but never
a hat that may obstruct the view
for someone else. Gentlemen wear
dark suits, conservative ties, and
preferably black shoes and socks.
Better luck next time!
DEAR ADDER: I am chaplain
at a small Southern college, and
at our last Convocation, we had
a hick speaker—John F. Ken-
nedy. At the conclusion of his
talk, the students stood up in the
pews, threw hymnals and home-
work in the air, and cheered. I am
so embarrassed. What can I no
to apologize to Mr. Kennedy for
our students’ unholy behavior?
Georgie I. Take
DEAR CHAPLAIN TAKE:
What can you do ? Why, give
your students a pat on the back
for expressing their feelings! I am
sure Mr. K. was glad to know the
students liked his speech. Per-
haps you might suggest that in the
future the students rise to show
their approval of an especially
good speaker—this might even
become a school tradition!
DEAR MISS ADDER: I am a
concert singer. Recently I sang at
a small, church-related school
where you’d think the students
would have a little culture. Well!
I was never so insulted in my life!
Why, do you know that those stu-
dents didn’t applaud until I’d been
standing on the stage a full two
minutes, and then a faculty mem-
ber had to start the applause. I
haven’t been so embarrassed
since my dress fell off at Carne-
gie Hall.
Indignant Oriole
DEAR INDIGNANT: Just chalk
this one up as ignorance and for-
get it. Apparently these people
just don’t know that applause
should begin as soon as a per-
former appears on the stage. From
the performer’s standpoint, it is
awkward to be caught on the
stage with silence from the au-
dience. However, don’t let this in-
cident influence your opinion of
small, church-related schools—I
am sure they are outstanding in
other areas, such as money-rais-
ing.
DEAR ADDY: Help me! I have
terrible blisters all over my love-
ly soft hands from applauding so
hard at the symphony yesterday.
I’ve tried everything, even John-
son & Johnson & Johnson & John-
son baby lotion, and nothing seems
to help. What can I do?
Enthusiastic Esthete
DEAR E. E.: The editor has
just informed me that I have used
up all the space he can allow me
in this week’s paper. However, I
shall devote a large portion of
next week’s column to the subject
of applause. If that Editor would-1
n’t pamper that silly old Isaiah
Van-whoeverheis and his ridicu-
lous ramblings, there might be
room for important subjects.
Humph!
