MORCK ADDRESSES
EDUCATIONAL BUYERS
Mr. Theo S. Morck was a guest
speaker at an afternoon session
of the annual meeting of the Na-
tional Association of Educational
Buyers, held October 9-11 in the
Baker Hotel in Dallas.
Mr. Morck, Texas Lutheran’s
business manager, spoke on the
topic “Achieving Co-operation for
the Purchasing Program.” The
audience which he addressed con-
sisted of business managers and
purchasers from almost all of the
colleges and universities of Texas,
Oklahoma, and Arkansas.
Allen Collins, Martha Johnson,
Utsie Rabbe, Charlene Traeger, and
Melvin Rosenbaum form a com-
mittee which will represent the
students in the decision.
The Wartburg Choir, a well
known and highly acclaimed a
cappella choir from Wartburg Col-
lege, Waverly, Iowa, has been
scheduled to appear at Texas Lu-
theran College on November 20
for a concert appearance.
Director for the choir is Dr.
Edwin Liemohn, head of the Music
Department at Wartburg College.
He has won eminence as a com-
poser of a cappella music.
The Luther League of Emanuel’s
Lutheran Church and the Artists
Series Committee of TLC is spon-
soring the choir for its concert at
Texas Lutheran. The concert will
be held in Memorial Gymnasium.
Here’s the student’s chance of
a lifetime. Enter the “Name the

junction with Texas Lutheran Col-
lege’s speech department, is pre-
senting a weekly program slanted
toward the college students of

Choir To Purchase
New Concert Robes
Purchase of new robes for the
a cappella choir has been made
possible by an anonymous dona-
tion it was announced by the
business office.
Clifton Hall is the name chosen
for the new women’s dormitory on
the campus. The ninety-seven
unit building, said to be the most
modern dormitory in the South-
west, will be dedicated Sunday
afternoon, November 6, as part
of the homecoming festivities.
Nearing completion, the building
will be ready for occupancy by
homecoming.
There are two reasons for nam-
ing the dormitory Clifton Hall.
The first is to make the ex-stu-
dents of Clifton College feel a
closer kinship with TLC. Clifton
merged with TLC two years ago
and all of Clifton’s aluminus are
now considered ex-students of
TLC. The second reason is that
there is a pending merger between
the American Lutheran Church
and the Evangelical Lutheran
Church. Before Clifton’s merger
with TLC, the Evangelical Lu-
theran Church owned and operat-
ed Clifton College.
Three Concerts
Listed By Choir
Engagements for the a cappella
choir include a Yorktown concert
on October 30, and two concerts
during the homecoming festivities
it was announced by Mr. Rolf
Espeseth, director.
The Yorktown concert will be
given at St. Paul’s Lutheran
Church, on October 30 at 7:30
p.m., and the choir will sing again
at the Reformation Day service
in the Chapel on October 31.
The first homecoming concert
will be given Saturday, November
5, at the banquet, and the second
on Sunday afternoon at 2 p. m.
in Memorial Gym.
A get-acquainted picnic for choir
members will be held at Starcke
Park on Tuesday, October 25.
According to Espeseth, the choir
is still in need of tenors and sop-
ranos.
Senate To Sponsor
Campus Clean-Up
The appointment of committees
to coordinate the Campus Clean-
Up Day which will be held several
days before Homecoming was one
of the main items of business con-
sidered by the Student Senate at
its meeting last Wednesday, Octo-
ber 12.
Student Body President Ed.
Kopinitz appointed Gene Moore to
head the Clean-Up Day committee
with Loanne Ibele, Katherine Ba-
tey, and Danny Koenig the other

in before lights out time on No-
vember 4.
Before running off to mail one’s
entry, here’s a little more informa-
tion about the program that might
be a clue in choosing that perfect
name.
This two hour show will con-
sist mostly of popular music —
meaning everything from sweet
pop to rhythm and blues.
There will be three five minute
segments of this program devoted
to a week-in-review sports sum-
mary, student names in the news,
and student interviews from time
to time.
Under direction of Ronald Birk
and assistant Harry Wisehart, all
work in this program will be done
with students in the speech de-
partment acting as disc jockeys
and news commentators.
Birk advises everyone to hurry
and turn in his or her entry. As
many entries as desired may be
sent in. But remember duplicate
prizes will not be awarded in case
of a tie.

By Marlene Kriewald
The upperclassmen have band-
ed together! After weeks of suffer-
ing in silence because the fresh-
men at TLC refused to wear their
beanies, the upperclass students
decided to have no more show of
disrespect by the lowly usurpers!
Alas for the freshmen. They are
condemned to wearing their dain-
ty black and gold cephalon pro-
tectors until the last whistle blows
in the homecoming football game.
This means, fish, that you will
be expected to wear your beanies
in all your waking moments. It
might be a good idea to tote ’em
along to the showers and even
to bed, lest some wary upper-
classman catch you unaware. For
those of you who are unwise
enough not to wear them conti-
nually, a special, gory little treat
will be provided. So take heed
Professor Rolf Espeseth, chair-
man of the Artist Series com-
mittee, along with committee
members Robert Olson, Robert
Weidner; and Hugo Gibson, made
arrangements for the concert
which was presented free of
charge to everyone.
Included in the program was the
