Committee Proposes Open Dorm Policy
-
*
The Student Services Com-
mittee of the TLC Student Sen-
ate has met with Dean Bogisch
and Dean Kieffer and has for-
mulated a plan for an open dorm
policy. The proposal, which
would be set up on a four-
week trial basis to begin after
the Easter holidays, must be ap-
probed by the Student Senate-be-
fore it can go into effect; it will
be discussed and acted upon at
next Monday night’s Senate meet-
ing.
As outlined, the new policy
would open the men’s dorms
from 8 to 11 p.m. on Friday
nights and the women’s dorms
from 1 to 4 p.m. on Sunday after-
noons to visitation by members
of the opposite sex. The vis-
itation periods would be on a
weekly basis and would com-
mence on April 11 in the men’s
dorms and on April 13 in the
women’s dorms for the four week
trial period.
The following regulations
would be part of the open dorm
polity, as proposed:
(1) Councilors should make
sure wings are in presentable or-
der before visiting hours begin.
(2) If a member of the op-
posite sex is in your room,
you must leave the door to the
room at least partially open (at
least the width of a trash can
or so).
(3) In the women’s dorms,
if only one-half of the suite wants
visitors, the other half may close
the door between the two sec-
tions.
(4) Students may dress accord-
ing to their discretion during vis-
iting hours.
(5) Councilors should be in-
formed beforehand whenever you
plan to have a guest inyourroom
during visiting hours.
(6) The host or hostess
should greet his or her visitor
in the dormitory lounge.
(7) Councilors in dorms other
than Hahn may see to it that
visitors of the opposite sex have
left by the end of the designated
visiting period.
Special arrangements will pro-
bably have to be made for East
Side Dormitory because of its
disse
dissimilarity from the other
men’s dorms.
Any abuses of visiting privi-
leges during the open dorm per-
iods will be handled by the re-
spective dorm councils, and ap-
peals from their decisions may
be made to the Judicial Coun-
cil (composed of students and fac-
ulty).
Ronnie Mueller, chairman of
the Student Services Committee,
emphasized that this policy, if
approved by the Senate, will be
instituted only on a four-week
trial basis. Following this trial
period, a survey will be taken
to determine the advantages and
disadvantages of the program. If
the results are favorable, a re-
commendation will then be made
by the Senate to the ad-
ministration and ultimately the
Board of Regents for approval
to continue the same or a simi-
lar policy.
In addition to the student sup-
port indicated in the recent re-
ferendum for an open dorm pol-
icy, the committee, meeting with
the Dean of Women and the Deans
of Students, based its proposal to
some extent on a questionnaire
answered by approximately 80%
of the women students. The
questionnaire showed that the
majority of women students fav-
ored an open dorm policy con-
sisting of a weekly visitation per-
iod on Sunday afternoons but not
at night.
Student Association President
Fred Biery urged that all stud-
ents make their opinions con-
cerning the proposed open dorm
policy known to their respective
senators before next Monday
night’s meeting, at which time
the Senate will be called on to
act upon this proposal.

Both Constitutional Amendments
Approved In TLC Student Vote
The TLC student body has
approved the two proposed
amendments to the Student As-
sociation Constitution, but the
margins of approval vary con-
siderably on each amendment, to
say the least. In the voting which
was held yesterday in the Stu-
den Center, 152 students favored
and only 17 opposed the first
proposed amendment. As con-
cerns the second proposed
amendment, however, 72 stu-
dents favored it while 71 opposed
it. Since amndments require only
a simple majority vote by the
students, however, both pro-
posals are now considered va-
lid parts of the Student Associ-
ation Constitution.
The first amendment, which
was passed rather overwhelm-
ingly, reads as follows:
Whereas: Article VII of the
Constitution of the Student
Association of Texas Lutheran
College, which is the section
dealing with the student election
code is concerned with rela-
tively unimportant details which
properly should not be included
in a document as basic as a
constitution and.. . .
Whereas: It would be more
appropriate to include the stu-
dent election code in the By-
Laws of the Student Associa-
tion, where said code and pro-
cedures could be more readi-
ly changed through action of the
Student Senate; there fore. . .
Be it resolved that: The Con-
stitution of the Student Associ-
ation of Texas Lutheran College
be amended by striking Article
VII from the Constitution and
re-numbering the articles con-
cerning amendments and ratifi-
cation. (This action would be
taken with the intention of plac-
ing the contents of the election
code in the By-Laws of the Stu-
dent Association through subse-
quent Student Senate action.)
The second amendment, which
passed by a one-vote margin,
reads as follows:
To be added after the last
amendment: Article X. THE
AMERICAN LUTHERAN CHUR-
CH UNION. The Student Sen-
ate shall pay to the American
Lutheran Church Union (ALCU)
at the beginning of each semes-
ter the amount equal to fifty
cents per registered student. The
ALCU membership fee shall
be collected from each student
at the time of registration by
an official designated by the Stu-
dent Association President.
To be added to Section 3 of
Article in: g. President (of the
Student Association) should ap-
point the TLC coordinator for
the ALC Convention and of the
American Lutheran Church
Union.
The purpose of this amend-
ment is to assure that TLC
will join the new ALCU, pre-
sently being formed to unify the
students on all the college cam-
puses under the auspices of the
American Lutheran Church. In
a guest editorial on page 2 of
this issue of the LSL, Dyne
Hilbrich, TLC co-ordinator for
the ALC Youth Convention, ex-
plains hi more detail the bene-
fits of membership in this new
organization, the ALCU.
The Paul Winter Contemporary Concert
To Bring Unique Musical Sound To TLC
The Paul Winter Contemporary
Consort, a new adventure in in-
strumental music, will appear in
The Texas Lutheran College
Memorial Gymnasium Monday,
March 31, at 8 p.m.
The Winter Consort is a group
of young musicians who are de-
veloping an original expression
of music, a unique combination
of symphonic orchestration, folk
music and improvisation. They
are Involved with music having
thought and energy behind it.
The seven-piece Consort
includes alto saxophone, cello,
English horn, alto flute, classical
and 12-string guitar, bass and
a battery of folk percussion in-
struments.
The music of the Consort draws
from the whole scope of musical
experience of Paul Winter and his
musicians: years of symphonic
playing, the jazz experience of
Winter's first Sextet (which
played at TLC three years ago),
8 exposure to the folk music
of 26 countries in which Winter
has toured (with particular in-
fluence from Brazil, Israel, Af-
rica and Bulgaria).
The group is modelled after the
Renaissance Consort, one of the
earliest instrumental ensembles.
The name •‘Consort” meant a
••family” of instruments and the
ideal of the Renaissance Consort
was to achieve a homogeneous
blend among the instruments.
Only the warm, human-sounding
woodwinds, strings and per-
cussion were used. The Winter
group is a Contemporary Con-
sort, using instruments of today,
making music for our times.
Winter conceived the group in
another sense as a kind of folk
orchestra—as a voice (that of the
three woodwinds and two
strings) accompanied by guitar
and percussion. “What we are
trying to do on our instruments
is to sing,” he comments.
The instrumentation of the
Consort reflects Winter’s love
of natural sounds. There are
no electric, synthetic sounds;
no machines. The Consort’s per-
cussion is unique and is made up
almost entirely of resonant folk
drums.
The Consort’s repertoire
is broad, including Blues, Bach
Cantatas, folk pieces and orig-
inal compositions based on folk
modes, ethnic rhythms and Greg-
orian Chant. They play inter-
pretations of music by contemp-
orary writers for whom they have
great respect—Pete Seeger, Bob
Dylan and the Beatles. And they
have adapted works by Bartok,
Villa-Lobos, Charles Ives and
Carl Orff.
“It is our intention to bring
all this music onto a common
ground. Villa-Lobos once said
of Bach: “His is a universal
folk music; and as such it is
a mediator among all races.”
If we can convey this sense of
oneness in our music, we will
have achieved something.”
Paul Winter organized his
first group, a jazz Sextet, while
a student at Northwestern Univ-
ersity. This group won the 1961
Intercollegiate Jazz Festival.
The State Department sent them
on a six-month tour of 23 coun-
tries in Latin America and the
success of this tour resulted in
their playing the first jazz con-
cert held at the White House.
They made a second State De-
partment tour in 1965, through
13 cities of Brazil, and Winter
returned to Brazil himself on two
additional trips to study and re-
cord with Brazilian musicians.
Tickets are $1 for reserved
section seats and $.50 for gen-
eral admission to the bleacher
section, TLC students will be
admitted free to the bleacher
section.
