TiONE STAR LUTHERAN
NOVEMBER 22*
Friends Warm Campus
The cold homecoming weekend warmed considerably
with the hot show of those “Grazin' in the Grass’’
people, the Friends of Distinction.
Exploding with a dynamic delivery and exciting
performance, the Friends treated TLC exes and students
to a show well worth their trouble of presenting their
activity card at the door.
National recording artists aren’t too common in
Seguin, and it isnt’ often that an entire evening can
be spent listening to a group as outstanding as this
admittance or travelling farther than the nearest
gym.
Despite the recording group’s fame, the free gate
and the presentation of the homecoming court, many
students could not find an adequate interest to attend.
An estimated 250 TLC students attended the cor-
onation and concert out of enrollment of 821. Less
than one half of the students took advantage of the best
sale TLC has ever offered.
Students complain of a lax schedule at TLC. They
remark there is nothing to do in Seguin, much less
on campus. They repeatedly go home for the weekend,
sit in the dorm, timidly refusing to have any fun
unless they have a date, or they find “partying”
the thing to do every night of the week — with little
regard of homecoming or TLC relations.
Regretfully, it is the same half of the campus who
cares enough to do anything — including reading the
LSL. So, to Daryl Koenig and others making the
Friends* performance (possible for TLC, hats off —
it can be warm around this school.

A Message from
President
I welcome this oppor-
tunity to discuss with stu-
dents some of the circum-
stances surrounding the
recently announced bequest
from Mr. O. G. Beck of
San Antonio.
It goes without saying
that the will of Mr. Beck
will be of tremendous sig-
nificance to Texas Luth-
eran College in the years
ahead. Some details con-
cerning the bequest appear
in a story elsewhere in this
issue of the LONE STAR
LUTHERAN.
The Frost National Bank
of San Antonio will be the
trustee for the two funds
established under the
terms of the will. Bank
officials estimate that the
total value of the two funds
will be approximately 2.5
million dollars.
Up to 40% of the total
amount (2.5 million) is to
be used to construct a
building on the campus.
There are basically no re-
strictions as to the type of
building to be constructed.
No decision has been made
on this matter nor is any
likely to be made for some
time. The availability of
funds for a major build-
ing will be considered as
the Board of Regents, the
administration, and the
college building committee
works on long-range plans
for the college.
The other 60% of the total
amount (2.5 million) plus
any of the 40% which is
not used for a building will
be in an endowment fund,
also to be administered by
the Frost National Bank.
The college will receive
the annual income from the
fund, which will vary from
year to year depending on
the interest or dividends
paid on the investments
made by officials of the
Frost National Bank.
A considerable part of
the Beck estate is in land
holdings in northeast San
Antonio. Until this land
is sold, income from that
part of the estate will be
rather negligible. The
point is that the college
will eventually realize a
great deal from the estate.
But it could be some time
before significant income
becomes available.
As we mentioned in a
letter to our Development
Board members, our needs
will continue to be great
and our challenges many.
But the college is indeed in
a considerably better sit-
uation because of this re-
cent development.

Letters to the Gditor
Students Comment on Homecoming
Dear Editor:
I would like to thank all in-
volved in making the T.L.C.
Homecoming Coronation a big
success. A special thanks is
extended to the same old bunch
who always get stuck with the
dirty work, and never receive
the glory.
Thanks, thanks, thanks, thanks,
thanks, thanks, thanks, thanks,
thanks,thanks,to:

The list is not complete, but
thanks to everyone else who
helped, who’s name was not men-
tioned. I really appreciate it.
Most sincerely,
Jeri Jacobs
the author, he has neither the
ability nor the qualifications to
comment on any production.
I thought the leads of the play
did a fine job. Dana Rademaker
as Nat Miller was as stiff as
any man of fifty-seven years
old would be. Chris Babcock
showed a real feeling in her
part as a mother, a more or
less stablizing influence. George
Bindley, as Richard Miller, suc-
ceeded well as portraying tht
different adolescent moods re-
quired of him.
In my opinion the lifghting was
as good as the stage would allow,
and the stage was excellent.
In conclusion, I’d like to say
this to the article’s author. The
cast played for the audience,
not just you. Most of those
that attended thoroughly enjoyed
it. And if one is looking for
the worst, he’ll find it, even on
Broadway.

Ecivres
Dear Editor:
Just a note to express my ap-
preciation to all those who worked
so diligently in making Home-
coming 1969 a success. It would
be impossible to name all of those
who contributed to the success.
However, I would especially like
to commend David Doerfler and
Daryl Koenig for their efforts.
I feel certain homecomingl969
was one of the best ever. And I
am sure homecoming 1970 will
be even better. Thank you
again.
Sincerely,
Fred Biery, President
Student Association
Dear Editor:
I am writing in reply to last
issue’s evaluation of the play
*«Ah Wilderness”. I found my
own evaluations of the play quite
opposed to those of the article’s
author. From what I know of
Dear Editor,
Here’s a peace of mind for
all who want it;
I woke up last night and the
air felt strange. It was still—
ominously still. Could it be that
what we’ve worked for, argued
for, protested for, and died for
has finally come to pass? How
will mankind accept such a gift-
will we keep it and conserve it
or will we abuse it and force
it on others until new trouble
spots arise? Are things brought
about so abruptly in the best in-
terest of the future of air coun-
try? The president always did
know what we wanted and did
what he thought best. Now we’ve
forced him against his judgement
and where are we? The world
was created in this way and
men blew it. How can we re-
create it through an act such as
an overseas withdrawal? If we
move out, won’t we immediately
find somewhere else to move
in?
The answer isn’t obvious; I’ve
not got it. Neither, however,
do the uninvolved motivaters who
are pushing for drastic action.
If we had peace—how would it
feel?
Awake and Worried
Dear Editor:
I would like to express my
view that the homecoming was a
great success, but I feel that
there was one great “mar” in the
events. One of our so-called
exclusive fraternities had an
after-party dance at the Elks
Club in Seguin. It has been re-
vealed that this club does not
allow Negroes. One of my dear
friends was not able to attend
the social gathering because of
this rule. Many of the members
of the fraternity are members of
athletic activities in which I am
a member. We are very good
friends and often times go to
Tony’s together, play games to-
gether, and *■‘maybe” even go
on dates.together. But still,they
chose to have a party at a place
where their “friend” cannot at-
tend. I was fortunate enough
to attend their party a year ago,
but this year-well, I guess they
preferred it to be “Lilly White.”
We are still friends and will play
together Saturday night for the
victory. Be kool.

John (Tootle) Merriwether
Dear Editor,
There seems to be <more pre-
judice on this campus than I
had expected. The particular
case I refer to occurred last week
during homecoming.
As I remember the Kappa Pi
Alpha fraternity usually invites
the freshman members of the
football team to their homecom-
ing party. As it happened, some
of them were invited, but not all.
The ones that were not invited
are my Black Brothers. Why
they were not invited is because
the Elk’s Club did not allow
Negroes into their establishment.
So rather than getting a different
place for the party the Alphas
decided not to invite the Blacks
to their party, «and to tell one
white that he could not bring
his Black date.
Whew, I’m glad I’m a Lambda.
Floyd Medearis
Dear Floyd and John,
Trying to answer this with-
out sounding like Dear Abby is
hard to do, but I would say that
the fault lies more with the
owners and operators of fhe Elk’s
Club. Do you think your friends
would have been excluded if the
Alphas had owned and operated
the club?
The editor.
