WE BUILD
3
I What in the world does “build” mean, any-
way? There isn’t anyone that builds, except
lour janitor. How do you get that way? We
J got that way a long time ago, when this college
f was first built. Lutheran College builds, I tell
1 you. It builds strong, healthy Christian char-
acters, if the student will but permit it to do
so. That was the principal reason why the
school was erected: That the boys and girls
V of the various communities in Texas could
either be sent back to their home congrega-
tions to do better and bigger work for the Lord
in His Kingdom, or go forth into the world as
finer Christian men and women.
The school is doing every thing in its power
to train its students properly. In fact’ there are
so many opportunities given the student that
even the ones that do not care to take them, are
benefited. It is very possible that some do not
- appreciate these things at college, but in later
years they will regret not having used these
helps and opportunities that the faculty and
the school gives and urges him to take. With-
out the cooperation of all students it is very
hard to create the correct atmosphere that a
Christian institution should and must have.
We hope that the students will feel more
and more the personal responsibility that is
given them. Even though some of them may be
away from home, we think that it would be
much better for them, the school, and their par-
ents to continue in good behavior and in good
morals. In youth we are apt to forget God and
His presence, His help and comfort through
the reading of His word.
Let us build ourselves in conformity with
the will of God, and by doing so, the college as
a whole will be benefited and improved. “We
Build.”
The man who commits crime
today had better be careful of
the way he uses his hands, for
there has been a new invention
made whereby the finger prints
and other imprints can be secur-
ed in one-tenth the time of the
old method.
* * *
Yes, Dr. Leung, of the Lyons
police department, is the inventor
of this new process of fast de-
velopment. As soon as a crime
is done, this liquid which Dr.
Leung has invented, is brushed
over the various surfaces that
have finger prints, and in a short
time, a gelatin substance can be
peeled from the object, and lo,
and behold you have all the in-
formation you would desire from
a finger-print.
* * *
Not only is it a very quick and
accurate process, but it enables
the police to send this imprint
through the mails without any
fear of marring the various lines.
Thus, there is further develop-
ment in the apprehension of
crime.
* * *
Believe it or not, but there is
a real land of Lilliputians! Yes,
sir, in Germany we find a town
built especially for small people.
All houses and furniture in this
place are made comfortable for
dwarfs which are on an average
35 to 36 inches in height. How-
ever, the “giants,” which are few,
range around four feet.
Even though their homes are
“pint” size, they are architectual-
ly beautiful and completely equip-
ped. These homes are furnished
with beds, chairs,' divans, tables,
too small to be of any use to nor-
mal persons, but just right for
the hundred or more adults and
chfldren who make up this inter-
esting community.
This Lilliput was started sev-
eral years ago, as a sort of re-
tiring place for dwarfs. Since
that time there have been dwarfs
coming from other countries to
establish their residence there.
Because of the difficulty of
making and because of the com-
paratively small demand for “toy”
suits and furniture, these little
people have to pay as much for
their necessities as their full-
sized neighbors.
Sick List
We are very sorry to report
that Miss Hiltrude Braulick, Prof.
Braulick’s daughter, is sick with
scarlet fever. We realize that
having scarlet fever is no slight
matter. We wish Hiltrude God’s
blessing for a speeding recovery
so that she will soon be with us
again and be able to return to
school. Profs. Ander, Kraushaar,
and Streng are taking care of
Prof. Braulick’s classes at pres-
ent.
We have also had several cases
of the flu among teachers and
students. Prof. Pfennig was un-
able to attend classes for several
days because of the flu. Quite a
number of students are at pres-
ent suffering with bad colds and
sore throats.
Gene Koch has been out of
school for quite a while because
of a tonsil operation. We hope
he has a speedy recovery and will
shortly be in our midst again.
Miss Ella Meyer had the mis-
fortune of falling on the steps
that were coated with ice the other
morning at the girls dormitory.
She was unconscious when picked
up by the girls, her head being
injured. It is hoped that the
injuries will not prove serious.
We hope all will recover soon,
so they can enjoy their Christmas
holidays in good health.
Paul “Handsome” and Everett
“Daddy Long Legs” Renger are
attending State University.
“Handsome” made freshman foot-
ball string, but he states that if he
had known a certain party was
returning to T. L. C. he would
have returned, too.
Esther Christiansen spent the
week-end on the campus, taking
a brief vacation from teaching
school.
Carl Sagebiel is “awfully” busy
running “The Corner” and prac-
tically everything else. He has
taken over the Sinclair agency.
Big business man, but he still has
time to date a certain blonde!
Well “all work and no play makes
Jack a dull boy.”
Buck Saegert, ’31 is driving a
Sinclair truck for Carl Sagebiel
at present.
It is rumored that Monroe Eb-
ner, who is attending State Uni-
versity, is to be married soon. We
wonder if he sings, “All That I’m
Asking is Sympathy.”
Effie Page is teaching the Mexi-
can school near Seguin.
Ethel Mae Brannies, ’31, is
teaching school at Seguin.
Reports are that Andrew Kue-
nemann has gone to Fort Worth
to learn the undertaking trade.
Howard “Rats” Behrendt is
working at the Enterprise office.
He is also quite busy being “a
man about town.”
And while we are speaking of
“Rats” we might add that Bertie
Heyne is teaching school near
Wharton.
Roy Lee Reinarz is attending
S. M. U. at Fort Worth.
Arthur Doerfler, graduate of
1926, has returned from Califor-
nia where he was employed by
Anderson and Clayton and Co. as
their firm finance manager of
the Chorichila district. He and
Mrs. Doerfler plan to remain in
Texas for some time.
Mrs. Ida Kuhn, the mother of
Donald Kuhn, ’30, died recently
after a short illness. Lutheran
College and the Lone Star Lu-
theran extend their heartfelt
sympathy to the bereaved.
ALFRED
All who know Alfred Doerfler
will be glad to hear that he is
recupei-ating very well at the home
of his parents. We sincerely hope
that he will be able to be back
with us again after Christmas.
A Letter To
Santa Claus
Santy Dear:
I know you’ve been mighty busy
lately, what with the depression
and all these new democi’ats want-
ing jobs and I guess it’s been a
pretty bad year for the Santa
Claus business, but honestly, if
you could sort of glance down
from your snowy home and see
Luthei’an College (by the way,
it would be nice of you to bring
T. L. C. that new name it’s been
wanting) we’d appreciate it an
awfully lot.
To give you an idea of what
we’d like to have, I’m telling you
the suppressed desire of a few of
our pewpills.
“Tug” Greenwood thinks it
would be nice if you would send
him a double to do all his study-
ing but he says he thinks he can
take care of the Kroesche affair.
Lothar Krause and Hansie
Lindenburg are going to hang up
their socks and are hoping to find
in them a set of tires for their
“car.”
Jack Ander whispered in my
ear that all he wanted was an air-
plane and his sister Kitsie’s taste
runs in the fur coat line.
Stella Kramp wants a sure-fire
method of keeping the library
quiet.
Eddie Eisenmenger would be so
tickled he’d forget to drive fast
if the sophs paid him his dues to-
day.
And Santa, although he is a
bashful boy and hasn’t said so,
I think Fredlein Schroeder would
like a new nose as the football
season pretty well wrecked his
own.
“What-a-Man” Hartwig wants
you to send him an efficient and
non-ii’ritating method of breaking
off with a girl before Christmas.
Besides the airplane, Jack An-
der would like for Lutheran Col-
lege to have a baseball team.
It would please Professor Kuhl-
mann an awfully lot if the whole
soph class would have their les-
son learned just once. (If you
decide to do this you better pre-
pare him for the shock first).
Gladys King would be “posolute-
ly” thrilled if you stopped at the
King domensile and left her a
riding h£bit< But she says if
you bring a horse to go with it,
you’ll be playing her a mean trick.
And just between you and me,
I think the student quartet wants
a new first tenor, second tenor,
baritone, and base. (Please give
your special attention to this).
And Santa Claus, I know this
is asking a terribly lot but what
I want is to pass a math quiz,
just once. Then I can tell my
grandchildren about the time
when I made a passing grade in
one of the things.
, Hopefully yours,
PAT.
ALUMNI NEWS
Getting off to an early start,
the dramatics director at the
University of Santa Clara, Cali-
fornia, held tryouts for the Pas-
sion Play which will be staged
next spring.
Something new in the way of
fines. Stanford students fined
for speeding who plead “no
money” are being required to
wash windows and generally clean
up the Palo Alto jail and court-
house in lieu of their fines. Three
hours labor pays a $5 fine.
Loyola University, Chicago, stu-
dents helped initiate a new Stu-
dent Health Service this year.
With this new department comes
the rule that all freshmen are
compelled to take a physical ex-
amination.
A student loan fund is being
raised at Capital University, Co-
lumbus, Ohio. At the present,
approximately $2,000 has been
subscribed. The goal is $5,000.
Recently the New York Times
reported the results of a sui'vey
made at a large eastern univer-
sity indicating that “men of high
standing in both study and play
in school topped the list of money
makers after graduation.” The
Times states that the conclusions
were based on the careers of 809
graduates, from 1917 to 1929.
They came from nearly every
state, from town and country.
Those with marked ability to
earn money stood out early; at
22 and 23 they received more and
better offers of jobs than the ma-
jority of their class. Luck and
opportunity, of course, played a
part in their success, but the sur-
veyor concludes that high earn-
ing power depends largely on the
under graduates success in studies,
in sports, and in social life.”
CONVOCATION OF DEC. 15-16
On December 15 the student
body had the pleasure of hearing
Gi-etchen Kraushaar and Ella
Mae Starcke in two recitation
numbers; and Vernelle Lam-
brecht, who rendered a song.
Noel Lovett accompanied by
Miss Elsie Mosheim, gave a violin
solo on December 16 during con-
vocation period.
We express our appreciation to
these folks for their numbers.

The End of the ‘Lame Ducks.’
A ‘lame duck’ is a Representa-
tive or Senator who is in Con-
gress after he has been defeated.
At present the ‘lame ducks’ are
very numerous, and there are
more of them in the House than
in the Senate, as there were 435
Representatives elected in Novem-
ber, while only 32 Senators.
The reason we have ‘lame
ducks’ is due to the fact that the
constitution states that the newly
elected member does not become
a member of Congress until
March 4, while the candidate de-
feated in November still holds his
office during December, January,
and February. And that is what
the ‘lame ducks’ are doing now—
serving in Congress, elected in
1930, defeated last month, and re-
maining in office until Mai-ch 4,
1933.
The ‘lame duck’ is one of the
many antiques we now have be-
cause we are still strictly adher-
ing to the somewhat out-of-date
Constitution of 1789. A Con-
gressman does not go to Wash-
ing until 13 months after he is
elected (unless a special session
is called)—in other words a Con-
gressman elected in November,
1932 does not go to Washington
until December, 1933, just a few
weeks befoi*e 1934; and his next
election is held only a few months
later, November, 1934. He must
seek re-election just a little while
after he first goes to Washington.
Is that real representation?
Should that still remain in the
Constitution of this democracy?
Of course not.
The end of the ‘lame ducks’ are
not in the far distance. Senator
Norris of Nebraska introduced a
constitutional amendment which
has passed 2-3 of both houses of
Congress, and now is being rati-
fied by the states. The ratifica-
tion will soon be completed, and
when this time comes, another
purely American animal will fol-
low the buffalo to extinction—it
is the ‘lame duck.’
Quiet Visitor ^
Proves Welcome s
In the Library
November 11, shortly after 10
o’clock, we had a very strange, yet
courteous caller in the college li-
brary. He certainly could not read
or write, but in many other ways
he undoubtedly surpassed the in-
telligence of man. You will agi’ee
too, that his loyal friendship when
once won • is not to be equaled.
This visitor was a large, kind and
intelligent looking police dog,
which came into Luther hall with
the mailman, Vint Smith. As the
mailman walked into the office
with the mail the dog went into
the opposite door which leads into
the libi-ary. Without fear he
walked right up to the librarian’s
desk and'extended a pleasant, si-
lent greeting to Prof. K. Weltner,
who was at the desk at the time.
After having x-eceived a smile in
return, the dog seemed to be sat-
isfied that gi'eetings had been ex-
changed and walked out in a dig-
nified manner. (Many students
can stake this dog as an example
of the truth that the library is
not a place to waste time and
cause disturbances).
After the dog left the libi’ary all
were curious to know where he
headed for next, so finally one
person made an investigation. The
dog was found at the entrance
waiting for his master. After the
mailman had deposited the mail
he met the dog at the door and
went on their way, side by side.
This little episode, even if per-
formed by a dog, displays some of
the finer characteristics of cour-
tesy and friendship, two aspects
in which we human beings are;
often found weak. — Wartburg
Echo.
