THE LONE STAR LUTHERAN

The Involved Minority
Is there too much to do at TLC or are there not enough things
to keep one busy? /
Each day the cry is lifted, “TLC is dead. There just isn’t anything
to do around this place. I’ve decided that this school must be a monas-
tery or a convent in disguise.”
Yet at the same time one hears the story of people who say, “I
wish I could quit school and have the time to do all the extra-curri-
cular things I have to do,” or “It’s unreal. I don’t see how I can get
everything done that I have to do.”
Also at the same time one sees the haggard look of someone who
has just tried to get an activity on the calendar. It is really difficult
to find a little white space on the school calendar these days.
Why is it that some students have nothing to do and others have 1
too much to do?
One of the major causes for this problem is simply an unequal
distribution of responsibility in the student body. The people who aie
willing to take responsibility end up having to take on other persons’
responsibility also. A small portion of the student body does all of the
work on campus. This small portion keeps the organizations on cam-
pus going.
Read this 'week’s “Throckmortimer’’ cartoon again. (I say again
because most people read the cartoon before they read editorials.)
Throck, as usual, has something quite meaningful to say to us.
It’s the same old problem of people wanting to know, What’s
in. it for ME?” We don’t do things because they need to be done or
because they might benefit others, but we take on and fulfill our
responsibilities only when there are some fringe benefits in it foi us.
In less than a month the all-school elections are to be held. Let’s
Lope that by that time enough people are really interested in student
government so some people will not have to take the positions. Theie
should be at least three or four persons in a heated campaign for each
position.
On the campus of TLC there are a large number of capable and
talented people who sit around and do nothing. Some are not asked
to do .anything, others are too shy to come right out and offer their
Help. But there are others who are just tod lazy to get out and get
involved!
You don’t have to be the most talented person on campus to help
with the responsibilities! You don’t have to neglect your studies to
•do your part either.
You just have to be willing to get out of your hole in the wall and
help others-with the work. \
You are really missing part of your college life if you don’t!
Besides, it’s fun!

Dear Editor:
It is rather revolting for a
teacher to arrange things to suit
himself, while it may hurt a stu-
dent or student projects.
Mr. Du.derstadt has done this
by arranging a repeat perform
ance of “The Taming of +he
Shrew” this Saturday night. The
All-School Talent Show has been
scheduled for Saturday the 14th
for more than a month and its
profit will go toward the All-School
Project. With Mr. Duderstadt tak-
ing some of the performers, the
audience, and trying to arrange
the Talent Show’s time around
this performance, which was ex-
cellently and sufficiently put on
last week, he has taken away
from the profits considerably. The
project may fail if individuals
continue to block its way.
It is in poor taste to be so in-
considerate. Let’s hope it doesn’t
happen again.
THE TALENT
SHOW COMMITTEE
Merely Musing,
Mr. Editor:
I would like tc commend you
on your fine editorial dealing witn
the Sunday night Vespers peti-
tion. But way not go a little far-
ther in remembering forgotten
ideas? Last year, we, the students
of TLC, were confronted by £p
lengthy list of brainstorming
ideas. These were used to provide
impetus for the successful cam-
paign of our student body presi-
dent. Maybe I am in the dark as
to how many of these ideas werp ( ^
ever put in any but idea forrn^
but I have failed to see over 10
per cent of this platform acted
upon, either pro or con, by our
Senate. Truly the full blame can-
not be put on the president’s
shoulders,' but I feel that as our *
leader he has shewn a consider
able lack of leadership. Let’s see
some action; or have these good
ideas been thrown out alpng with'*'
the 340 names.
BURNING QUESTION
The Burning Question is a col-
lection of opinions on a contem-1
porary campus or world problem.
The Burning Question this week:
IF YOU WERE EDITOR OF THE
LSL, WOULD YOU CHANGE IT
IN ANY WAY? IF SO, HOW?
Kendra Kulow: With very lim-
ited qualifications in relation to
journalism, I would say that the
LSL is doing an adequate job.
Improvement is always appreci-
ated and necessary for success,
but encouragement and a positive
approach can be an added stim-
ulus. Suggestion: A small column
concerning the activities of the
immediate ex-students would be
interesting to the majority of
upperclassmen.
Dan Peterson: Editorial work
by faculty members would be
good.
David Bronstad: Give the editor
a nice, big, fat salary!
Lee Stanley: Make it cheaper.
.Nancy Heiden:. It’s a marvelous
paper as it is, but more pictures,
etc., are needed!
change has occurred to me. How-
ever, my opinion is that TLC can
benefit from more of Willmann’s
work and more group self-analysis
like “Timothy’s Tale.”
Willie Mae Walter: People com-
plain about many things — this
topic being among them. As anx-
ious as some people are to pull
that paper from their box, evi-
dently all people are not anti-LSL.
Personally, in my own little way,
I enjoy it. very much!
Ron Quitne: If I were editor
of the LSL, I am sure I would
keep it the way it is now. The
new editor seems to be doing a
fine job. His reorganization has
greatly improved the quality of the
paper. If the editorials remain
I sensible, the paper should be able
I to look forward to a good year.
Robert Schlortt: If I were editor,
I would promote more editions
with creative work by individual
students, similar to last week’s
issue. This would, I believe, in-
crease interest in the paper. Also
more comics and sports.
By ANN TEEL
“Thou losest here a better where to find.”
King Lear
Thou . . . who? The student body. Here . . . where? Texas Lutheran
College. What is here to be lost? The loss comes when students fail to
realize the depth and breadth of this college campus. Many leave to
hunt the “Better Where.” Many do pot even leave the physical struc-
ture of the college before they begin seeking the “Better Where.”
Perhaps our alma mater is yet in the young ruffian stages to out-
ward (and some inward) appearances. Maybe we do have a long
road ahead; however the field is here and awaits the mowing. Though
we stand among the uncut grass, we—as students—must pick up scythes
and blaze the paths!
Opportunity yields only if sought. The college offers basically and
.continually a student body that is varied, bright, and challenging. The
collegiate approach is attainable and friendly. Friendship hovers and
spreads. Whether the desire is to serve campus or self, the atmosphere
condescends. From dorm room to chapel step, a total awakening to
the essences of existence appears and fights for recognition.
There is a much deeper awakening than simply the “self.’ Texas
Lutheran College fosters the growth of more than academic knowledge.
The college provides fundamentals which can become the foundations
for achievement in living. Vesper services draw, especially during eaily
spring when open windows usher in the mingled fragrances of wisteria
and honeysuckle, and offer moments of solitude and closeness. The
chapel stands as an ever-present reminder of TLC’s heritage — a
heritage which is sometimes mocked . . . often neglected.
TLC can polish the tarnished freshman into a shining senior.
Classes are the backdrops on this college stage, but backdrops alone
are never sufficient to enhance the final production. Students must
seek the outside-of-class growth if the in-class growth is to be meaning-
ful. Going to classes is necessity. Appreciating the learning and matur-
ing is the illusive.
The challange rests. Each person must recognize that this college
is essentially no different from other colleges—but that this college
merits work . . . labor on the part of each individual to add to the
college what he can and gain from the college what he must . . .
“the Better Where.”
'Throughout life we reach new planes ... these very planes can
level into a rut or rise to higher accompfllimients. There is always
the leaving behind and the treading ahead. Yet we should fiist delve
in the here before advancing to the where. Texas Lutheran College is
here for those who grace her campus, but more important — TLC is
here to be discovered. Each succeeding student body must cut the
grass, see the undergrowth, and travel the new-worn path!

Open Letter to Gamma Pledges:
Dear Young Friends in Christ:
I have just returned from your
Vesper Service and I thought it
was lovely! The reading, clear;
the costumes and stage “props^
appropriate; the music on key and
in perfect harmony—BUT—
Do you girls want to stop things
where you stopped your service—
really?
Is Christ still hanging on the
Cross? as Audni read so distinctf^ri
No! Thanks be to God, we don’t-
worship a dead Christ. Jesus is
alive. His Crucifixion, Resurrec-
tion and Ascension are all past.
He lives and walks among us in*
the world. He is our contemporary
part of our present! If more of^s
were really convinced of this, how
much more “joy filled” would be*
our lives!
“It is no longer I who live, but
Christ who lives in me.” Read Dr.
Conrad Thompson’s article in the
current Lutheran Standard.
My greatest wish is that each
of- you may find the truth of a
living Christ in your life.
In love,
MRS. DULLNIG
Lone Star Lutheran
Ralph Klier: I enjoy reading
fife LSL very much. I would like
to see a larger paper with per-1
haps a few articles by some of j
the profs and more creative work j
by students.
Don Hill: No need for radical

campus. Mail suggestions via

Dear Editor:
The February 28th issue of LSL
was given to me by a friend in
order that I could read a parti-
cular article. After doing so, I
noticed the “Burning Question,
viz, “Should the Federal Govern-
ment have the authority to enforce
public accommodations section of
the civil rights bill?” Please foe**
lieve that it was a shock to find
the burning question worthy of
something other than burning.
Whatever the source cf the riew*
blood in the “Burning Question”
department of the LSL is, let us
hope that you KEEP IT!
No comment on fifty per cent
of the answers; however, Dr.
Dahl got to the heart of the nat-
ter. Possibly student analysis will
become acute if challenged by
questions such as the above, in-
stead of whether to tie the right
shoe or the left shoe first.
