THE LONE STAR LUTHERAN
Friday, January 17, 1964
Looking I Over...
As the last issue of this publication to be printed this semester
goes to press, some observations made from the third-floor Old Main
“Office of the Perpetually Burning Light” cones to mind—some ob-
servations which are the result of close study from the vantage point
of the LSL window.
TLC: A UNIQUE INSTITUTION
Yes, TLC is a unique institution. And the very students who ques-
tion this are the ones who contribute most to make it so. They are
the students who question; the students who fight for things no one
else notices for the sake of a principlethe students who study crea-
tively; the students who take an active part in campus affairs; the
students who sit in the Commons for hours, talking over a cup of
coffee.
Yes, TLC is a unique institution. And the TLC administration and
faculty contribute much to make it so. We have a forward-looking
administration which is planning ahead in the academic line, which
sees that the potential of a school such as ours is one which lies in
the quality of our academic program. Thus the addition of new
subjects matter fields into our curriculum—no longer in the indefinite
future, but written into the 1964-65 catalogue.
TLC: A COLLEGE ON THE GROW
Yes, TLC is a college on the grow. And for those of you who doubt,
climb the chapel spire and take a look around you. Spread over the
campus you will see The Chapel of the Abiding Presence, dedicated in
1954; Clifton Hall, 1955; Reibe Dining Hah, 1957; Kraushaar Hall, 1957;
Trinity Hall, 1958; Knutson Hall, 1961; Fine Arts Building, 1961; and
Baldus Hall, 1982. For those who can’t add, this makes a total of eight
new buildings built within the last nine years. And construction on
the Hahn men’s dorm, a president’s residence, and the long-awaited
Student Union Building is slated in the foreseeable future. This is
something of a building record for a college with an enrollment of
approximately 650.
TLC: A TRAINING GROUND
Yes, TLC is a training ground. The college experience is in-
service training for the battle of life; for developing creativity; for
learning leadership. Here students have the opportunity to GROW—
in academic knowledge, certainly, but concurrently in breadth, in
understanding, in friendships, in knowledge of self and others, in
lability to give.
TLC: OUR RESPONSIBILITY
Yes, TLC is our responsibility. Students at Texas Lutheran have
■the freedom and the power to act, to be a real influence. There is a list
of things students could accomplish as long as Lucky’s tongue . . .
or as the list of resolutions brought back from the Student Senate
Retreat in October. Why, then, does the TLC student body spend
so much of its time planning, talking, or criticizing, but so little of it
putting its talk into action? Now is the time to put some of these ideas
into effect? Or better yet, why . not think along new lines? For ex-
ample, give seme thought to the problem of segregation in Seguin? ? ?

Dear Editor:
So many people have been lis-
tening, mouthing off and standing
on the Ledges of Insomina, P-R,
Potyanna, etc., etc., etc., about
my presence on this campus, that
I have decided to make a few
comments myself.
I, Sallman’s-head of Christ, am
a work of art, not an over-sized
facade of someone that lived two
thousand years ago. I represent
the work, talent and glorification
of God as presented by cne man.
That which you see upon the
canvas is the anthem and 7e
Beuin to the joy of one man to his
Creator. This was Sallman’s in-
tent when the brush began to rep-
resent to man that which he sc
seeks to have represented in tan-
gible terms.
I represent the I AM. I do not
stand for the “image” of those
who display me in billboard
fashion on walls or carry me in
billfolds like an ID card.
As I hang on the cold stone
wall, a wall as cold as the eyes
and hearts of those passing me on
their way to class, I wonder
whether I am not being abused.
: Hanging there I feel like a notor-
ious actor who gets the limelight
only because cf his non conform-
ity. I feel like a cheap advertising
poster. I am the subject of injus-
tice, glared at — sometimes
hated — as if I were some typo
of mutation. Other pictures de-
picting Christ present him as a
working carpenter, a lover of chil-
dren, a hater of corruption and
complacency. It is my misfortune
to be depicted like mankind de-
picts itself: flawless and pure.
Students of the “unique image,”
look at yourselves before you
criticize my misfortune. You too
are oversized clowns who hang on
a wall. Sometimes the frame isn't
big enough for your collage . . .
at least my frame fits.
SINCERELY,
SALLMAN’S HEAD OF CHRIST
band members who played at the
basketball game. The lively music
improved the spirit and impressed
our visiters from Southwestern.
ENCOURAGED
Dear Editor:
It sounds as though the choir
had a most enjoyable and really
excellently presented concert to
offer to tour audiences. But why
was a concert for the TLC student
body left off the tour itinerary?
It has been said by some thal
cultural opportunities at TLC are
rare. It seems as though here is
a wonderful opportunity that we
are ignoring.
Could the chcir perhaps sing j
more often for us here on cam-
pus? Perhaps convo presentations |
could be arranged once a month
as suggested at the Student Senate i
retreat way back in October.
I
Also, what are the chances of;
the choir’s making a record again !
this year? The last record was cut
in 1960-61, and no copies are now ’
available.
Sincerely,
A MUSIC LOVER
Dear Editor:
Would someone explain to me
why the portrait of Christ should
be removed from Wupperman?
While the “Removers” are re-
cruiting a spokesman, I’d like to
explain why I think it ought i;o
stay:
1. “The Head of Christ by Sail
man is one of the best-known \
paintings in Christendom; there-
fore, it dees have a place beside
any other artwork that might be
hung in the Fine Arts Building.
2. To some, a portrait of Christ
is offensive. However, to others
like myself, it is a comforting re-
minder cf the ever-presence of
God.
3. It is said that the theater is
no place for this picture. In the
arena of creative activity that is
the theater, no picture is more
appropriate than one of the greadif
Creator.
Leave the portrait of Christ in \_
Wupperman as a work of art and
as a reminder of the ever-pres-
ence of God in our lives.
Sincerely,
NANCY HEIDEN
BURNING QUESTION
V
WOULD YOU BE IN FAVOR |
OF DESIGNING “FRATERNITY
WINGS” IN KRAUSHAAR HALL,
WHEREBY ONLY MEMBERS OF
COULD LIVE IN A SPECIFIC I
WING? (With three fraternities, i
the remaining wing could be left
to independents.)
Ronnie Murray: No, I believe;
there are many who have friends
outside their fraternities ana in
other fraternities. The suggested
plan would not serve to promote j
better inter-fraternity relationship.
Lester Schneider: Yes, I feel
that one’s friends are in the same
fraternity anyway,, and this way
they could live together as well as
run around together. It would give
i frat life at TLC more meaning.
Charley Dullnig: No, I feel that
one should not only associate with
his fraternity brothers, but make
other contacts as well. I feel that;
such an idea could only lead to
further separation of fellow stu-■
dents and fraternity members, and
limit your social life to but a small
clique.
Marty Hoffman: The Alphas are
close enough — we don’t have to
live together!
Ann Teel: Until fraternities can
have either houses or rooms pos-
sibly in the new student union, the
dorm wings should be left as they
are.
Jchn Fox: Yes, I feel as though A
the officers of a fraternity could ^
control the people in the wing (be-
ing his fraternity brothers) better
than a mere, chosen-at-randem
person. For this program to work, *
it needs good fraternities and
strong leaders.
Mr. K (Harry Langley): The
individual means nothing! The w
state shall triumph over the evil
of capitalism. Materialism must
march forth and we will all live
together.
Don Kraemer: No! Although I ^
can see somewhat of a good thing
in it, I believe things should be
left just as they are now to pre-
serve more interaction among
different types of students.
Adam Soehacki: It’s an impossi-
bility !
Randy Dahl: I believe fraternity
wings would be good because the
members of the fraternity could
become closer, and would take
better care of the rooms and wing
where they lived.
Dear Editor:
