THE LONE STAR LUTHERAN

By SHARON RYAN
v THE MODERATOR is a new magazine begun by a group of
journalistically inclined, patriotically minded Yale students. According
to the introduction to the March, 1963, issue, “It is new because it
helps fill a vacuum in U. S. society created by the lack of interchange
evident among America’s 4,000,000 undergraduates, and also by the
sence of true liberal education in most of the nation’s colleges.”
Here’s the way it works: “THE MODERATOR is created in a
ique manner. Opinion forms on important political, social, and
cultural topics are prepared by a 40-man staff in New Haven; these
forms are designed to serve as a provocative outline for the con-
struction of an essay rather than as an instrument for gathering data.
These forms are administered to students in college throughout the
U.S. by MODERATOR representatives (Gabriele Luthardt is the
representative for TLC). Students who write on a form are chosen
h-Y the representative on the basis of leadership qualities and ability j
to think imaginatively (not clearly or logically, but imaginatively).
The completed forms are returned to New Haven where they are com- j
piled into MODERATOR magazine articles.” After reading several j
articles, a friend of mine said, “All the completed forms are mailed
to New Haven where the ones from Yale are compiled and published
in THE MODERATOR.”
^ I must .share with you the title of one of the literary pieces. “Christ
Has Returned to Earth and Preaches Here Nightly.” It’s fiction.
At the time of the December, 1963, issue, representative colleges
-/had grown in number from thirty-one to seventy-six. TLC and Texas
Christian are the two schools in Texas.
The format of THE MODERATOR is still somewhat unrefined, and
the technique of gathering information and editing and presenting it
till needs some polishing. I have found some grammatical errors that
re inexcusable. But these things can be corrected. The underlying
principal is good. A magazine of this type could be of much value to
the student body of America. In this time of stress and turmoil it is
good to know what our peers are thinking. When one hears of student
riots in Panama, it is good to know if our peers are thinking. I believe
that a MODERATOR subscription would be $1.35 well invested. AMEN.
Debaters Hake
Excellent Showing
The TLC Debate Team, under
the guidance of Dr. Sally Gear-
hart, made an impressive showing
in the San Marcos Debate Tourney
held immediately preceding the
Christmas holidays. The team re-
turned to the campus with several
excellent citations to show for
their performances.
Fred Janclt and Don Kraemer
received excellent citations for
winning three out of four debates.
Also receiving an excellent cita-
tion was Jane Schorlemer in poetry
reading. Another winner for TLC
was a debate team composed of
Anne Dunford and Billy Shaw.
This team won two out of three
debates.

Merely Musing...

Cram, cram, cram! Hurry to finish term papers, to read pages
upon pages of history, English, science, and Christianity, and to learn
*4ll the facts that have piled up for a whole semester. Examitis has hit.
-.What is all the last minute bustle really worth? For that matter, what
are four years in college worth?
True, knowledge can’t be measured by any test; so how does one
know what he has learned in one, two, or even eight semesters of
* college? To those who stop to wonder about the values and blessings
of a college education might come the vast realization that the true
/J&orth comes not simply in gleaning endless facts from textbooks and
professors but in experiencing the quest for life!
A college education is a long talk over a mug of beer at Varsity
Inn. A college education is a roommate. A coilege education is the
simple yet astounding realization that old Plato makes sense after
all. College is dorm life, chats in the Commons about everything from
~ Jane’s long socks to the deeper implications of theology and walks
ground the mall to cry or laugh or meditate upon one’s love life.
One can memorize all the ding-dong formulas that were ever
written, but that same person may never learn life . . . and learning
life is what college is. The profs have been around longer than most
students, and they know the ropes pretty well. These educators are
here to guide the ship, direct the crews, and weather the storms. These
professors are also on the college campus to impart real knowledge
4o the questing student, but no student can learn one thing until that
student has learned to appreciate life.
Life is made up of people who have learned . . . usually from
other people . . . who have learned from others before them. So one
might conclude that the real value of a college education is to be
found in the associations which one makes. These associations are both
with people and with knowledge, but knowledge can hold no true
alue unless it guides life’s relationships.
A college education, for those who grasp and tug and grow and
stretch, is a world of adventure. College is a fine training ground
for life. College is beauty, love, questing, asking, living, and being.
College is a precious gift. What is it worth to you?

nance the construction of a new
