THE LONE STAR LUTHERAN

Without too much fuss, but as a
loyal band member I must say
that with more fuss than they de-
served, we got the chon- off on
their annual tour. We girls
mingled various shades of lipstick
and wondered why Oscar Linde-
mann should be thus privileged
also. The dorms settled down to
a couple of weeks of peace and
quiet and the band member^,
gloried in their new-found campus
favorite, namely, that certain
prof, who said at church during
the LSA convention, “Well, thank
goodness the choir isn’t going to
sing.” Any doubts as to who said
prof might be can be cleared in
my office.
Speaking of the choir, I might
say that one of the members of
its tenor section grew quite a
beard just so he could make a
crack about being a Paramecium
in an after-dinner speech he had
to make.
If you should hear some one
mention Miss Vivian’s cow don i
get too excited because really they
are only referring to that daily
bottle of milk which, through some
dormitory wit, has acquired the
name of cow. By the way, if you
are interested in getting on the
good side of Miss Vivian (what!
you didn’t know she had a good
side) just call her Julia. It has
been decided by the inhabitants
of the girls’ reformatory that if
she calls any person by their first
name then that person has every
right to call her by her first name.
So, here’s to Julia, with fervent
hopes that she forgets to read this
issue of the Lone Star.
The girls’ dorm wishes me to
inform the boys’ dorm that they
are a good jump ahead in the de-
fense program. It seems that
Julia gave each of the girls a de-
fense stamp booklet and they are
being filled. Yes, I know it would
sound better if I added “at a rapid
pace” but, after all, there still
remains the problem of honesty.
With high hopes that the choir
returns with still a little rubber
on their tires, I’ll sign off until
next time.

Students Hear Plan
of Civilian Defense
A large number of students from
TLC attended the lecture and
demonstration given by Mr.
Frank Williams of A. & M. College
at the Seguin High School audi-
torium on the evening of March
19. 1942. Mr. Williams spoke on
civilian defense, which is the big-
gest industry of today. Since
Seguin is only 650 miles from the
Facific Ocean, it is very important
that we know what to do in case
of an air raid.
How to fight fires caused by
incendiary bombs was explained
in detail. Our fire department
has been instructed on how to
fight fires, but many times the
actions of civilians in trying to
extinguish a fire before the ar-
rival of a fire department only
intensifies the fire. Therefore, it
is the duty of each individual to
learn how to treat fires caused
by different chemicals.
For instance, fires caused by
incendiary bombs containing such
chemicals as potassium, sodium,
or phosphorus cannot be extin-
guished by water. If water is
thrown on these fires, the flames
will be intensified. In case of such
fires, sand can be used.
By learning how to treat fires
caused by different chemicals, we
are not only aiding the fire de-
partment, but protecting our
homes and our children. It is a
part of home defense to see that
the attics in our hemes can be
conveniently and quickly reached
and that we have materials ready
with which to extinguish such fires
as may be caused by bombs. The
condition of the world in which!
we are living is very serious, and
it is time that we all realize this j
fact.
TLC Will Stress
Physical Training
Since there is a great need for
more physical training and health
education if our country is to
carry on an all-out war program,
TLC has decided to lay much more
stress on physical training and
health education during the years
1942 and 1943. At the present
time plans are being made so that
next year probably all students
at TLC will receive three hours of
physical training and intramural
game activities per week plus one
hour of health instruction per
week.
These recommendations are be-
ing made to the Board of Regents
because the American Council of
Education and authorities of the
Army, Navy, and Marine Corps
in our land feel that physical
strength and general body care
are very essential if our students
are to gain the full benefit of
their college training. It is felt
that this type of program will be
a most valuable addition in the
TLC curriculum.

Mirrophone Explained to
TLC Student Body
‘LENT AND SACRIFICE”
DISPLAYED IN LIBRARY
In convocation Thursday, March
12, Coach Kieffer presented to the
student body a new instrument, a
mirrophone. As one speaks into
the microphone, the sound vibra-
tions are put on a magnetized steel
tape for one minute, after which
the sound vibrations may be re-
produced as often as desired. How-
ever, when one speaks into the
microphone again, the preceding
recording is wiped off. The stu-1
dent body heard Robert Dibrell j
speak, Will Carter and Richard
Allen sing, and Professor Braun
play a selection over the mirro-
phone.
This mirrophone, belonging to
the Southwestern Bell Telephone
Company, was furnished through
the courtesy of Mr. Dickerson. The
Bell Telephone Company has used
This mirrophone, belonging to
the mirrophone in testing and de-
veloping the voice of their opera-
tors.
(Jackie Hansen)
I met her the first day I was in
German class and she has been
bothering me ever since. Coming
in a little late, as usual, I heard
the professor say, “Now, in Ger-
man, the same as in English, there
are three genders. They are mas-
culine, feminine, and neuter.’’
Well, that was my introduction to
her, because she is the German
gender.
In English we call anything that
pertains to masculine, masculine;
anything that pertains to femin-
ine, feminine, and anything that
pertains to a thing, neuter. Any-
one knows that a girl is feminine,
but the German language has no
respect for this fact and calls a
girl by the neuter symbol, das,
making her nothing but a thing.
The Germans use the gender with
absolutely no discretion, so it is
their fault, and not hers, that she
bothers me so much.
I have spent some time now in
berating the German language
for using the three genders in a
manner which has no sound basis.
During this time I have been guilty
of the very same crime. I have
been using the neuter noun gender
as if it were feminine, referring
to it as she. Call it revenge, spite,
or what have you, but if the Ger-
mans. in speaking of me as a girl,
can refer to me as a thing, then
surely I can call their neuter noun,
gender, a female.
“Lent and Sacrifice” is the
theme of the book exhibit at the
TLC library at the present time.
Among these selections are Botti-
celli’s painting of Christ’s trial,
several books by Jewish refugees
such as Stefan Zweig, Franz Wer-
fel, and Thomas Mann, and nu-
merous magazine articles dealing
with the religious difficulties of
today.
Included in this peculiar com-
bination are those books whose
authors or characters have suffer-
ed many hardships and made
great sacrifices. Sacrifice is the
connecting point of these works
with the Lenten season.

basing his address on “Christian

around Luther’s definition as one
who was servant to none, yet a ser-
vant to all. Rev. Wm. F. Kraus-
haar, President of TLC, acted as
liturgist.
The afternoon meetings com-
pleted the annual gathering. Re-
ports of the officers were heard,
and committee reports heard by
the convention. Election of officers
followed.
Approximately 100 delegates
from schools in Texas registered
for the two-day convention at
Texas Lutheran. Schools repre-
sented included San Marcos
Teachers’ College, the University

Denton Teachers’ College and the
Texas State College for Women,

.. THE KEY
TO ESTATE
PROTECTION
A TIMELY ROLE FOR
LIFE INSURANCE.....
For generations life insurance has been used as an
estate-creator — to provide or increase the amount of
funds a man can leave to his family.
In recent years life insurance is being increasingly used as an esfaia-
profector — to lessen the shock of death taxes and other settlement
expenses upon the assets of the estate. Sharply increased taxes endanger
many estates, since these taxes and other necessary expenses must be
paid in cash. Few estates of any size contain enough liquid assets to
meet such costs.
By leaving additional life insurance in a properly planned trust, you can
take an important step toward protecting the remainder of your estate.
You are invited to discuss this important phase of estate planning with
your LUTHERAN MUTUAL representative. Or if you prefer, write
department A137 at the home office for complete information.
