SIGMAS
Fifteen girls, including the sponsor, Miss Kathryn Yandell,
and her friend, Lou Shield, attended the Sigma retreat at Fulton
Beach in Rockport this past weekend.
Visitation of the old folks homes is underway. Each Saturday
three Sigmas will take turns visiting the homes in Seguin. Those
visiting the old folks’ homes this Saturday are Judy Huerkamp,
Martha Graumann, and Sandra Winters.
The Sigmas are busy constructing and decorating their
homecoming float.
GAMMAS
As a project for Thanksgiving, the Gammas will sponsor a
food drive for the needy families in Seguin. Boxes will be placed
in the dorms and in certain areas on campus for contributions
to this project.
Miss Heye, the Gamma sponsor, is taking a vacation in
Wisconson.
BETAS
The Betas are selling Homecoming mums again this year.
They may be purchased during all meals, in the Commons. The
men are urged to purchase mums for their dates; and all stu-
dents are reminded to buy mums for female members of their
families who will be here that weekend. The price is $2.00 per
mum. Fraternity letters can be mounted on the flower at an
additional 5c per letter. Football numbers may be mounted also
upon request, at the same price—5c per number.
Students are asked to purchase their mums as soon as
possible to avoid a last-minute rush.
DELTAS
The Deltas are going to put out an appendix to this year’s
student directory.
The sorority is busy getting their car ready for Homecoming.
The Delta Kaliedoscope is going to start practice within the
next two weeks.
ALPHAS
The Kappa Pi Alpha Fraternity is making arrangements for
a party for all Alphas and Ex-Alphas who come for the Home-
coming weekend. The event will occur Saturday night, Oct. 27.
The Alpha Thorn, “The paper that sticks to you,” will also
be available for the Homecoming Festivities. The Thorn staff
has been on the “prowl,” gathering quantities of satire, humor,
and other assorted “trash.” This year’s Thorn will be eight pages.
The 1962 Alpha Thorn will go on sale Friday morning, Oct. 26.
Price: Ten lousy pennies, two shiny nickels, or one thin dime.
The big question on Campus: Who will the Thorn stick?

Prisoners to
Present Program
In Wupperman
On Tuesday, October 23, at 8
p. m., in Wupperman Little Thea-
ter, the student body of Texas
Lutheran College will be privileg-
ed to hear “Operation Teenager”.
This is a lecture given by four in-
mates of Huntsville State Prison.
These four men, who were con-
victed while still in their teens,
will relate some of their own ex-
periences and will explain some
of the “danger signs” of a begin-
ning criminal career.
These men are all serving long
prison t^rns including one life
term for murder. Only one of the
prisoners is from the so-called
“wrortg side of the tracks”; the
other three are from the “right
side.”
This lecture is being presented
around the country with the inten-
tion of influencing young people
in the right direction. This idea
was originated among the pris-
oners with the thought of helping
wayward youth. The program is
completely sponsored and present-
ed by the prisoner with the ap-
proval of the prison officials.
Isaiah Rips New Path
Who"s Who Committee
Revamps Evaluation
Bridgeport, Conn. (I. P.)—'The
Who’s Who Committee of the Stu-
dent Council at the University of
Bridgeport has devised a new
method of considering applica-
tions for the Who’s Who in Amer-
ican Colleges and Universities,
according to Student Activities
Director William C. Wright.
The committee will evaluate the
membership and position of appli-
cants in various campus organiza-
tions and assign a number of
points to each. These “activity
points” are then multiplied by
the student’s cumulative Quality
Point Ratio. On the basis of this
final score the applicants are
either nominated or disqualified.
By ISAIAH VANDERWORT
Since I was unable to contact
my usual source of information
this week concerning the Senate
meeting, (I never atend such tri-
vial affairs in person) I had to
rely on a reliable source. This
would be entirely out of line with
the usual garbage I write, so .1
decided not to do a Senatorial
story this week.
One of the first things I want
to tear into is a most controver-
sial matter—my name. Or rather,
I want to discuss the lack of my
name. Now that you are thorough-
ly confused, let me continue.
The column, Kookie Little Kon-
gress, has oft been critic’zed for
having the pseudonym Isaiah Van-
derwort instead of the author’s
real name. One reason for signing
this pseudonym is that in this way
different authors can write the
column, thus being able to carry
on the tradition year after year,
even though the original author
may have graduated.
Another reason is that, although
the authors may appear to be ra-
ther dull and stupid, they are not
dull and stupid enough to lay
themselves open for destructive
criticism by signing their own
names. People think I’m crazy
or something?
Though I hate to leave my fa-
vorite topic, myself, it is time to
talk of other trivial matters.
Some claim the Senate’s all wet
for chunking the swimming pool
idea. That’s a pun.
Leading cheers must be a lot
rougher than it looks like. Cheer-
leader Bob Schumacher has been
walking around the past few days
looking as patched as some of my
shirts.
Going back to the Senate (I
just cant’ seem to let them be)
I hear that they are going to try
to abolish compulsory class at-
tendance.
What with them cutting out
students attending classes and Ed-
ucational television cutting out
teachers attending classes, there
may not be too many people in
the classrooms. We still have
convo, though.
Has anyone congratulated Kne-
ten on returning to selling ham-
burgers in the Kennel? There have
been entirely too many people
eating in the commons.
Do you have that tired, run-
down feeling? I have the perfect
cure. Next time your fraternity
officer, class officer, or dorm
mate approaches you on the sub-
ject of helping to build a float,
refuse. Others do.
Is Draft to Be Dropped?
Hey, guys! Have you heard the
word? That’s right, the Universal
Military and Training Service
Act will expire on June 30, 1983.
Wouldn’t it be nice if only those
mean men in Washington didn’t
extend this horrible thing?
Baldus Women
Early to Rise
If you can imagine 94 girls
standing in front of Baldus Hall
in pajamas, you can imagine the
scene which took place at 6:00
a. m. Saturday.
Just before 6:00 Saturday morn-
ing, the alarm was spread through
out Baldus that steam was es-
caping all over the building. The
girls evacuated immediately.
When asked how long the evacua-
tion took, Mrs. Brown said she
didn’t know exactly, but it all
took place during the swift mo-
ments in which she called main-
tenance.
The explanation for the accident
v/as simple: A valve in the pipe
system got stuck, and the pres-
sure built up behind this valve
so excessively that it kicked off
the safety valve. The reason for
the escaping steam was that the
safety valve which was being
used was not permanent, and was
not connected in such a way that
the excess steam could go out
through the roof like it was sup-
posed to. Naturally, it was then
released into the building rather
than through the roof. There was
really no danger. The situation
was corrected immediately, and
the girls were back in the dorm
by 6:30.
“We thought they were serenad-
ing Miss Brown,” was the com-
ment made by several freshman
girls in Trinity who were awaken-
ed by the episode. Several boys
have been heard planning to park
in front of Baldus at 5:45 every
Saturday morning so they won’t
miss another such spectacle.
Just think! No greetings from
your local draft board when you
become the right age for pluck-
ing from the tree of life. As
things stand now, there’s a good
chance that it might not be so
harsh on us poor college guys.
There has even been some talk
about not extending this draft act
because of some very good argu-
ments against it. Some of these
arguments are as follows:
(1) the present draft does not
pay the recruit an adequate wage,
(2) it can’t accomplish the end
for which it was adopted (what-
ever that was) <3) the draft has
caused problems in leadership,
discipline and morale, (4) it is
discriminatory and inequitable,
and (5) the draft is a continued
invasion of the rights and privacy
of American citizens.
This, fellows, is only a drop in
the bucket as compared to all the
other arguments people in Wash-
ington are using to combat this
senseless act. I don’t know about
the ideas the boys on campus have
about this, but I sure would like
to hear from them because this
is a poll on the feelings of college
guys towards the Universal Mili-
tary Training and Service Act:
For or against, the colleges
must raise their voices on this
issue. So let’s hear from you men
on the TLC campus. It will be ap-
preciated if you would write to
the L.S.L. office and state your
views. To draft or not to draft,
that is the question.
Former Student
Tends Campus
“I dearly love young people
. . . you students,” was the state-
ment made after Mr. Jandt was
asked if he enjoyed his work. Mr.
Jandt also made an open invita-
tion to the public and TLC stu-
dents to visit the greenhouse. He
mentioned that a student could
browse around in the “house”
when he found homesickness,
moodiness and failure overcome
him. ,
Mr. Jandt has worked as man-
ager in both the wholesale and
retail floral businesses. He spent
a year at Texas A&M with the
horticultural department. M r.
Jandt keeps up with the research
being done in his field.
Mr. Jandt landscapes for the
grounds. As soon as cool weather
sets in, he plans to begin “shrub-
bing up” Baldus Hall. The plans
for this are waiting on his draw-
ing board.
All year around, Mr. Jandt
tries to keep flowers in bloom.
Besides the flowers around cam-
pus, he provides flowers for the
Commons, conventions and frat-
ernities.
Because TLC is a school of the
ALC and is being visited by many
people, Mr. Jandt feels that it is
important to have the campus
looking well tended at all times.
To accomplish this, he and his
two helpers propagate, nurse, and
set out all the plants and flowers
which beautify the campus.
Mr. Jandt attended TLC when
“there wasn’t anything here ex-
cept Old Main.”
