APO honored for Heart Fund eff arts
Freshmen applications
keep steady pace
For the fourth year in a row, the
Alpha Phi Omega fraternity here
at TLC has been honored by the
Texas Affiliate of the American
Heart Association during the
Awards Luncheon at their recent
annual convention in Dallas.
The TLC chapter of the national
service fraternity was again rec-
ognized for their fund raising ef-
forts on behalfof the Heart Fund.
The members of the only na-
tional fraternity on campus were
able to collect more money for
the Heart Fund in Seguin and New
Braunfels than any"other chapter
collected in any other city in
Texas. This was accomplished
through the fraternity's annual
Serf Sale and Bathtub Pull for
Heart Research last February.
Joe Singer, president of the
Texas Heart Association, cited
the dedication and efforts of the
college organization as he pre-
sented two trophies to a repre-
sentative of the chapter, Bill Jim
Klingemann, last year's president.
Klingemann thanked the Asso-
ciation for the honor and stated
that he accepted the award not
only for Alpha Phi Omega, but
also for the students of TLC and
the people of Seguin and New
Braunfels whose contributions to
combat heart disease not only
made the award possible, but also
may make possible the end of the
nation's number one killer.

Campers enliven campus
COOL BREAK—A young gentle-
man takes a break from junior
high band camp.
by Mary Cronkhite
Some may say that the TLC
campus closely resembles an
abandoned monastery during the
summer months. Butforthose who
became active in the summer
camps, they know that there is a
great deal of life which invigor-
ates the campus. And sometimes
there may seem to be too much
life around.
Thus far TLC has hosted five
different camps, averaging over
300 campers per session. The
camps have included two twirling
camps, two band camps, and the
Girls State encampment. Ages
have varied from six to 18, and
sex has varied from male to fe-
male.
The camps have had their good
points, such as when the campers
are in class or asleep.
And the camps have also had
their bad points, such as morning
wake-upat6:30a.m., vhiteshoe
polish fights, lost batons, lost
money, lost underwear. There
were also the smoochers in the
balcony, the sneaks, and the
sneerers.
Then again, there were the
times when the smoochers, sneaks,
and sneerers pulled together,
developed friendships, and helped
a way-faring cohort through the
hardships of the week.
It seems unlikely that anyone
will forget the night that the
drum majors came to serenade the
majorettes, and the majorettes
returned the favor at 6a.m. (yes,
that's a.m.) the following day.
And who could forget the night
when 400 junior high band camp-
ers fought in the men's dorm park-
ing lot with over a thousand
water balloons. The counselors
knew how Custer felt that night.
Now only two cheerleading
camps remain, and judging from
the baggy-eyed, frazzled-nerved
expressions of each and every
summer camp counselor, you can
be sure that they are anxious to
return to the ranks of the relaxed
col lege student come September.
Needless to say, they will return
so much the wiser.
All wii smokers
who plan to quit
someday:
Freshman applications for the
fall semester are coming in at a-
bout the same rate as a yearago.
According to the Admissions
Office, 621 applications for en-
trance to TLC have been re-
ceived. Of this total, 270 have
paid deposits, which is a fairly
good indication that they will
show up for registration in the
fall. Last year 266 had paid de-
posits at this time.
The size of the freshman class
for September is estimated to be
around 330 students according to
Admissions.
TLC began a steady increase in
enrollment with the 1968 fall
semester, with 713 registering
that year. From there enroll-
ment totals rose to 821 in 1969,
932 in 1970, 1,017 in 1971, and
1,035 last year.
According to President Joe K.
Menn, "We are anticipating a
record enrollment for the fifth
consecutive year."
Children offered
modern dance
Carroll Giron teaches modern
dance skills and techniques to
children from the Seguin area
each weekday for her summer in-
dependent study.
Carroll is doing this independ-
ent study to complete her degree
requirements for physical educa-
tion. She wi 11 graduate from TLC
at the end of summer session two.
The program is entitled "Crea-
tive Dance for Children." The
classes began Wednesday, July
18, and will end on Aug. 15.
Two scholarships established at TLC
Two scholarship funds for de-
serving students have been es-
tablished at Texas Lutheran Col-
lege according to a recent an-
nouncement by President Joe K.
Men n.
The gifts hike the "Challenge
of the 70's" campaign for funds to
nearly $1,500,000.
The Laura Van Pelt Memorial
Scholarship was established by
Mr. and Mrs. Lester Van Pelt of
Midland in memory of their
daughter. The scholarship is to
be awarded annually to TLC stu-
dents interested in becoming
church organists in Lutheran con-
gregations.
The first recipients of the award
for the 1973-74 school year are
Jane Danitschek, a senior from
Omaha, Neb. and a Bay City
senior, Karen Hoppe.
Harry Wessels of Stuttgart, Ark.
established the Alice K. Wessels
Memorial Scholarship in memory
of his wife. The award is to be
presented to deserving students
selected by the college's schol-
arship committee.
TLC began its challenge drive
in November, 1971, seeking
$4,000,000 over a five-year per-
iod to finance new building con-
struction, faculty enrichment,
expansion of existing facilities,
plus providing for additional
scholarships and endowment.
