DAVE BRONSTAD
Bronstad to Edit
'LSI in Spring
Dave Bronstad, sophomore stu-
dent from Arlington, Texas, will
assume the position of editor of
‘the Lone Star Lutheran beginning
A&th the spring semester. He will
replace Peggy Woelfel who has
fyeld the position since March of
last year.
The LSL is establishing the I
policy, at least on a trial basis,
if changing the editorship at
lmester break rather than in
September. This will have several
advantages, among which is the
publication of a summer issue.
Bronstad is presently serving as
president of Phi Theta Kappa, and
is,,an .Omega pledge.

From the period of January 3
through February 8—a total of 31
days—TLC’s President, Dr. Martin
Cole will be away from the col-
lege 22 days. This means that he
will spend only 9 days at TLC. He
will sleep in six states while he
is away.
On January 8, Dr. Cole left for
a meeting in Washington. He re-
turned on the afternoon of January
14. On January 23, Gene Ekenstam

Miami, Florida. They will be in
Florida until January 26 to attend
a Luther League Federation meet-
ing. During this time Ekenstam
will do public relations work for
the college, and Dr. Cole will ad-
dress a pastors conference from
the state of Florida.
On the return trip, the two men
will stop in New Orleans and will
be met by Dr. Wiederaenders and
others from TLC. Dr. Wiederaen-
ders will accompany Dr. Cole to
Columbus, Ohio for a meeting of
the National Council of Churches.

Student Union
1966 Dedication Slated
Our Student Union is now to
the “ meat and potatoes” stage,
according to Mr. Arthur Fehr of
the architectual firm of Fehr and
Granger. At the present rate of
incoming funds, the amount of
$150,000 should be on hand by the
end of 1965, whereupon the remain-
ing half of the needed $300,000 is
to be borrowed. Subject to ap-
proval by the Board of Regents,
construction is scheduled to start
in the fall of 1965, with the build-
ing being dedicated during the
Diamond Jubilee Year 1966. This
was but one item of discussion on
the agenda of the meeting of the
Student Union Building Committee
held December 21, 1963.

LSL Seeks
Creativity
A four-page cultural insert will
be included in the February 28
issue of the LSL. This is an out-
growth of discussions held at the
Student Leadership Retreat this
past September.
The two-fold purpose of this in-
sert is to encourage and publi-
cize creative efforts among the
student body of TLC, and secondly,
to develop appreciation of the
creative arts within the student
body as a whole.
All entries for the insert should
be turned in to the LSL via cam-
pus mail, or to David Bronstad by
Monday, February 17.
Any type of creative work will
be welcomed. Poetry, essays, book
reviews, critiques, cartoons, jokes,
photography, pencil sketches, and
pen-and-ink drawings are included
in the types of creative art which
may be submitted.
SHIRLEY KASPER
At the January 11 meeting of
the Ex-Student’s Association Ex-
ecutive Board, Sue Christiansen,
1963 Homecoming Chairman, of-
ficially announced her choice as
successor, Shirley Kasper. The
Student Senate, at its January 13
meeting, unanimously approved
her selection.
The 1964 Homecoming was one
of the many items on the agenda
of the board’s meeting. Although
nothing has been made official,
next year’s Homecoming might be
in for some drastic alterations.
The possibilities of replacing the
traditional banquet with a light
buffet, and the afternoon football
game with a night game, along
with some other innovations, ware
considered at some length.
Short and
Sweet
''OC7<
to student unions of other colleges
in Texas, and careful investigation
of nation-wide surveys of facilities
and operation of union buildings,
the building committee made var-
ious changes in the former plans
for TLC’s Student Union, with the
idea in mind that the union should
not be merely a building which
houses some facilities, but which
is also designed to carry on an
educational program for students.
As the “hearthstone” of the col
lege, a union provides the oppor-
tunity for the entire college family
to get to know and understand one
another through informal associa-
tion outside the classroom. It is a
vital part of the educational pro-
gram of the college because it is
an informal “testing ground” for
the classroom education.
With this idea as the purpose
for the Student Union, plans are
now to include in the building a
snack bar, post office, bookstore,
game room, patio, several meet-
ing rooms, a regular lounge,
a smaller formal lounge, and sev-
eral small alcoves for visiting. The
inclusion of a fireplace and offices
for the Growl and LSL is still being
contested.
The Student Union Building
Committee plans during the conv
ing months to look further into the
possibilities for the union and its
program. Members of this com-
mittee are Rev. Henry Treptow,
Robert Haugen, Vernon Pfluger,
Harold Bogisch, and Anthony Con-
stanzo representing the Ex-Stu-
dents; Dr. A. G. Wiederaenders,
Vernon Zunker, Dr. A. G. Gustaf-
son, Walter Kneten, Garfield Kiel,
Benno Luensmann, and Theos
Morck for the administration and
faculty; and Bob Weller, Barbara
Lorfing, Ray Ludwig, Rodney
Ruppel, and Butch Reinke as dele-
gates of the student body. In the
near future, the students will be
given the opportunity to aid in
the planning by evaluating the
present and future student union
program.
Repayment of the principal of
the $150,000 loan is to be handled
by the ex-students, while the in-
terest will be paid from profits
of the bookstore, snack bar and
game room. An annual Student
Union fee of $20 per student will
be paid to cover operational ex-
penses of the union.
A Sleep of Prisoners
A Sleep of Prisoners, a religion 5
and philosophical play by Christo-
pher Fry, has been postponed
until April.
Tryouts
Tryouts for The Taming of the
Shrew, by William Shakespeare,
will be held in Wupperman Little-
Theater on Monday and Tuesday,
February 3 and 4 from 7:30 to
9:00 p.m.
Jim Duderstadt, director, sug-
gested that scripts may be bor-
rowed from the library.
Zunker Studies
For Doctorate
Vernon Zunker, presently Dean
of Students, has received a leave
of absence until September 4,
1964. This leave cf absence was
granted in order that he may at-
tend the University of Houston
to study for his doctorate i n
counseling and guidance.
Dean Zunker’s duties in counsel-
ing and guidance will be handled
by a number of people. The two
key people who will substitute for
him are Chaplain Mayer and the
present Dean of Men, Nathan
Wehe.
Chaplain Mayer will work with
the Student Senate as their ex-
officio member. Dean Wehe has
been appointed to handle the deci-
plinary aspects of the Dean of
Student’s work.
Dean Zunker, who has expressed
the hope of returning to TLC by
the beginning cf the 1964-65 school
year, is being accompanied by his
wife.
