Peacetime Draft New Professors - - - Choir To Begin
Hits Enrollment .... l0r 'S^SoJTgr^at1^-; Season October 23
Christiansen Says
Registration for the peacetime
draft ended September 16, but its
effect has already been felt at
TLC, Mr. Christiansen, director of
public relations, stated this week.
There were a number of students
ihat had planned to attend TLC
this fall, but, due to the draft have
volunteered into one of the bran-
ches of the service. This number
included both prospective fresh-
men and students that have had
previously attended TLC.
Prof. Gustafson, Registrar, said
that he has received no official
notification of the policy concern-
ing deferments as yet. A directive
announced by President Truman,
listing 147 diseases or ailments
that may disqualify a registrant
for service, is the only information
that has been released.
The list includes flat feet, when
accompanied by marked symp-
toms of deformity, alcoholism,
stuttering, deformity of an eye-
lid, certain warts on weight bear-
ing areas, deep scars that might
break, and loss of a thumb.
Further information may be
gotten at local draft board No.
55, in Seguin.

purposes, Dr. Beck explained. They

background of new students, make
comparisons in academic standing
possible, determine instructional
needs, and improve educational
and vocational guidance. Reports
supplied to the individual student
will enable him to see his relative
standing in comparison with class-
mates with students in other
Texas colleges, and with college

tor of Theology degree at Hart-
ford Seminary Foundation in
Hartford, Connecticut. He was fa-
vorably impressed with the fine
Christian spirit and atmosphere of
i TLC.
An ex-TLC student now an in-
structor in elementary education
is Miss Helen Weiss, who has
taught at Harlandale Junior High
School in San Antonio since 1944.
! Miss Weiss said that although re-
! turning to TLC is like coming
j home as an upperclassman, the
| new capacity as a college instruc-
i tor makes her feel like a fresh-
man again.
,Dr. August Willman, associate
professor of chemistry, has had
eighteen years of experience as a
college instructor and received his
dpetor’s degree from the Univer-
sity of Minnesota. Dr. Willman
likes TLC and is very glad to see
the college on the upgrade with
its new equipment and buildings.
Dr. Gertrude Stein was impres-
sed with the interest in religious
matters and organizations at TLC,
as well as the spirit of reverence
at the Convocation period and meal
devotions. TLC is a real singing
school; the students and faculty
members sing with zest.
Miss Anita Richter, another
former TLC student, is the head
of the new Homemaking Depart-
ment. She received her M. S. de-
! gree from Texas University and
! taught home economics in a num-
I ber of Texas high schools. Miss
j Richter enjoys the friendly atti-
i tude, as well as the willingness
| and cooperation of everyone on
| the campus.
Many of the students are ac-
quainted with Edward Sagebiel as
j teaching the Bible class at Eman-
! uel’s Lutheran Church. He is now
: an instructor of sociology on the
i campus. Mr. Sagebiel, an ex-TLC
I student, feels that he has grown
j up with the school because he was
; here at the time the junior college
: was established, and now he has
i seen the senior college come into
: being.
! The 51-member Texas Lutheran
1 College Choir will make its first
] appearance in an exhibition prac-
! tice at TLC on October 23.

ficers, Juanita Wolf, - robe mis-
tress, and James Hieneke, histor-
ian, were chosen at a choir meet-
ing held September 22.

modeled with one wing made into
apartments for married veterans.
