MEMORIES I remember when . . .the Grass-

hoppers were hopping, the shav-ing cream pies were flying, the balloons were popping, and the jail was overflowing; what a night! Yup, I remember. And I can also recall being very proud of the student body that evening, participating in a program that sure showed a lot of people that Concordians do act naturally and can enjoy their Saturday evening together on campus instead of at Bridgeman's or the Prom. . .

Fun to look in the scrapbook, isn't it? Well, when we do, I think it safe in assuming that we will be very thankful to those who made it possible for Concordia to

enjoy its first dance. And a big "hats-off" should go to the Pro-ductions Com-mittee for the great job they did. The Senate realizes t ha t

structure has definitely not been stressed enough on campus. There are certain problems that arise involving individual classes and only by holding class meetings can they be resolved. Our repre-sentatives feel that they can best relate new Senate ideas and an-swer any questions of their con-stituents through meetings.

There once was a college in St. Paul known as "The Shelter-ing Arms." This quiet campus gave all girls the privilege of wearing skirts or dresses at all times to all activities. How the students loved their campus! Reasons for this privilege; one was that the college accepted pe-titions from skirt-wearing girls only. Another was to keep up the tradition that originated with the synod. The coeds did want to follow recent fashions, which were sports clothing after school hours. No, this would be too modern for the campus and the coeds didn't want this. The Head of the Women decided it was time for the campus to come up to date. She felt sports attire would be appropriate. But the loyal students voted this down. They felt traditions must be up-held at any cost, even the cost of blue legs, pneumonia, or other such afflictions. "We must be loyal to tradition," said the stu-dents. Keeping constantly in mind the motto for the school which was, "How to teach future successful workers to be frustrat-ed, resentful, and most ideally de-pendent upon the idealistic type of living afforded only here."

Today the traditional life on "The Sheltering Arms" continues uninterfered by today's reality.

Can You Pray?

"God is great, God is good, and we thank Him for our food; Amen." The prayer above, along with another even less religiously oriented, was outlawed by the Supreme Court in the Stein vs. Oshinshy case in 1965. The Engels vs. Vitale decision established a thin line between "voluntary prayer" and "prayer which is voluntary" (Christianity Today, Vol. X, No. 25, September, 1966). Voluntary prayer is defined as that in which a student may or may not participate. Prayer that is voluntary, on the other hand, is a prayer which the student himself says, determines when and where he says it, and how it shall be said. Much misunderstanding has arisen, many people believing that all prayer has been banned in public schools. The case is not so; only voluntary prayer is out-lawed.

In examining other facets of our government, we find certain incongruities. The Senate has a chaplain and pro-vides prayer rooms. __Our currency bears the slogan "In God We Trust." The Pledge of Allegiance includes the words "One nation, under God." Public officials still enter office by swearing on the Bible. The President each year asks Ameri-cans to observe Thanksgiving Day, a religious holiday set up to praise God for His bounty. Surely if we are going to limit prayer in public schools, we ought to omit the above practices also. But then another question arises. What about Christ-mas? Can the nation officially observe it? Can children s',Lng Christmas carols in a public school, under the teacher's direction? Could we even allow the use of Christmas trees as a symbol of the eternal life of Christ, to be displayed at Christmas? Wouldn't we be offending someone who doesn't believe in Christ?

Obviously, such questions must be answered No. If such a state of affairs ever did arise in our nation, we as Christians would have to oppose •them without question.

But, another question is full of dire importance. Can we, as Christians, permit the Supreme Court to limit our oppor-tunities to pray? Certainly, we do not condone the passing of a law which would make prayers mandatory. But when a law is passed which forbids prayer under certain circum-stances, our rights as citizens of a free nation, "Under God" are violated. When actions of faith are forbidden under cer-tain circumstances, is this not in actuality the authorizing of anti-religious thoughts? If we pass laws restricting Christians from praying, must we not also pass laws forbidding atheists to practice and "preach" their philosophy?

This writer has not attempted to go into any great legal discussion or to even analyze the Supreme Court decisions, for this is the realm of those far better educated than he. The writer has, however, attempted to show that as Christians we cannot allow actions expressive of our faith to be controlled by a legislature, for we are therein defeating the purpose of our faith. We have been ordered to pray without ceasing and to pray privately and publicly. We must have full op-portunity to do both, without restriction, regardless of the statements of any law or legislaure.

Oh Say Can You Born Free. That is what each of us claim. With this

freedom, each one of us assumes the responsibility of being an American. You may say, "Well, this doesn't mean me, I'm not even old enough to vote." I ask you—so what? You are still a free-born American with freedoms no other people in the world are gifted with. Though you can't vote, you have the responsibility of patriotism. You do remember that word, don't you?

America is something that is so taken for granted that one doesn't stop to think about our freedom until you're sit-ting at a ball game and over half the people around you can't remember the words to the Star Spangled Banner, or maybe it's your roommates making fun of the Pledge of Allegiance. If you inwardly felt sickened by this, that's great. You still have the staunch American stamina that our country needs.

By chance, if you are one of the many thousands in our country that doesn't have time for patriotism, maybe you would just as soon give up everything you've got and move to Russia. Certainly you would be welcomed, but how joy-ful would you be in ten years when you see your children wanting to destroy any freedom they may ever have?

Yes, laugh about the flag now, but if you ever happen to be called upon to sacrifice someone or something for America, we'll see how funny it is.

It's very sad that Concordians are so concerned about their own private little world here on campus that they can't take the time to look outside to see what the real America is and the principles for which she stands.

If you are so ashamed of our country and its leaders, may-be you could do a better job. You are all so ready to judge when it comes to political matters, but until you've walked the first mile in our leaders' shoes you haven't got a leg to stand on. Complain all you want, but until you show that you are an American worth this country's respect, don't ex-pect anything in your life to be free. Remember - you were the guy who doesn't even know the words to the Star Span-gled Banner. Do you know how many stars are on our flag?

You have asked if I would write a few words concerning the role of the Concordia student in government. It is always possible to approach such a discussion in the very narrow sense: exorting students to join the political party of their choice and/or work for a particular candidate's election, whether at the local, legislative, state, or national level. Naturally, having a very special interest in elections, I do not object to this kind of participation. Indeed, I wel-come volunteer help at all levels. Still, looking at government in terms of political careers is a very narrow view. One which many students instinctively—and perhaps rightly—reject. Certainly there is far more to government than the career of one or more individ-uals who have chosen the elective process as the way they might make a contribution to society.

Because people in all walks or. life have requested some kind of government intervention in their affairs or the affairs of people around them, I think that a stu-dent can best serve himself and his community by finding out just why this so-called intrusion is necessary, and what the role of the individual should be under present day circumstances.

Accordingly, I think it most ap-propriate that students every-where make a special effort in their undergraduate days to see what is going on, understand why it is most probably neces-sary, and then begin to do some-thing about the problems and op-portunities that face us.

Anyone at Concordia with an open mind can see why it is nec-essary for government to have an active role in our daily lives if he or she is willing to take a ten minute walk. For within a few blocks of the campus people are living lives of desperation. (And no longer are they living lives of "quiet" desperation.) These are people who understand that things can and should be better but are frustrated in their at-tempts to achieve the legitimate goals that they have a right to expect for themselves and their families. Nor am I talking only about Negro families. St. Paul has many white families in the same depressed circumstances; families that unless they have as-sistance will not be able to es-cape the cycle of poor education, poor housing, poor job opportun-ities, and tragically wasted lives.

Of course, just "seeing" is not enough. You cannot expect to stroll down the street and come up with a fuller understanding of these most serious problems.

(Even those who live in the area have confessed to me that until they actually began to work with some of these problems that they had no idea what was going on in their own neighborhoods.) You are going to have to—if you wish to have a true understand-ing-volunteer to work with some of the neighborhood groups in their many valid projects. Only in this way can you truly "see" what is going on.

But surely if you are to under-stand "government" you have to understand the people that gov-ernment is all about.

To "see" you have to shed any preconceived notions you might have. Certainly to think that people live "that way" because they "want to" is not only cru-el but unthinking. What those of us in the comfortable middle class often forget is that God simply did not give everyone of us the same I.Q. He did not give us all the same heredity. He did not place us all in the same en-vironment. Each of us came in-to the world with different abil-ities and in different circumstanc-es. Unfortunately for millions of people in this country one or more of their circumstances is be-low the minimal standards of de-cent living.

I really think that this first "seeing" is the most difficult step of all. It is perhaps a bit uncor-fortable being around people with whom we share very little in the way of education, goals, and standard of living. It is all too easy to condemn these peo-ple out of hand and withdraw to our own islands of comfortable mediocrity.

But a withdrawal is the begin-ning of the end. It is the begin-

Big Comets take on Bethany in final soccer game October 29.

SPORTSTORIAL Before we look to the coming basketball and wrestling

season let us take a glance at the past soccer season. Was it a failure or was it a success? True, the Comets didn't win many of the games they really wanted to, but the spirit of wanting to win was there. I have never seen a team win so much statistically, yet lose so often on the scoreboard. But is this all that counts-fan support was tremendous this year, for which the team is very thankful. Coach Satzinger was very pleased with the player turnout, and of course, there is always another season to look forward too.

The Comets suffered from the lack of a strong offense. However, this weakness was not found in individuals, but rather in player combinations. The front line was composed of very able players, but the winning combinations were hard to find. The defense was. strong, but they too suffered from the onrushes of larger offenses.

Finishing with a 2-4 record for the season, Coach Satzinger and the Comets look forward to next year. The basketball and wrestling season is upon us-let's give the Comets our full support.

Sports Shorts How excited do wrestlers get? Would you believe that they ex-

perience the same symptoms that soldiers experience in combat? Well, they do. Veterans of combat have listed some of the following symptoms: pounding heart, rapid pulse, muscular tenseness, sink-ing feeling in the stomach, dryness in the mouth and throat, trembl-ing, sweating of hands, cold sweat, and nausea. And if none of you wrestlers have experienced any of these symptoms you are very for-tunate.

The emotional reactions of wrestlers have been compared with basketball and football players and has shown that grapplers have been considerably more excited before contest time. In spite of the fact that both football and wrestling are combat sports, it is evident that they should have different intensities of emotional upset. Foot-ball is a team sport where individuals work together, rest occasion-ally, receive instructions from a person on every play, and share in achievement and failure. On the other hand, wrestling is a sport where the contestant stands entirely on his own. He must rely on his own wits for planning defense and offense and his endurance and strength for success. In winning or losing, the wrestler stands alone on his accomplishment or failure.

Oh, don't forget the coach. According to the increased pulse rate, it was found that coaches frequently became as upset as the average athlete. As one coach put it, "The wrestlers are lucky. They only have to wrestle one man, but I have to wrestle all 10 men." So watch Coach Chiapuzio at the first home match.

THE SWORD PAGE THREE

In their last soccer game of the season, the Comets lost a 2-1 thriller to Bethany College of Mankato on October 29. Dunning Field was crowded and those there witnessed a fine Concordia effort in an attempt to defeat this years conference champs.

Bob Zschering put the Comets on the scoreboard when he kick-ed a fantastic goal with 10 min-utes remaining in the first half.

As the second period began, it appeared that Bethany would be shut out and lose their first game because the tough defensive unit was as selfish as ever.

Then it happened. One tough luck Viking got plastered. The game was delayed for 30 minutes before he was taken from the field. A short while later the Vi-kings got possession. Bethany's Hesch scored on a free kick. At this stage, the game got rougher as both teams tried desperately for a winning goal. Soon the Vi-kings got control and Curly Zur-fluh shot one in the goal to pro-vide the victory margin.

Concordia's Comets notched their second soccer win of the season as they defeated the Pills-bury Comets at Owatonna by a 3 to 1 score.

In the first half, the wind was a major factor in Concordia's favor as 90% of the half was played on Pillsbury's half of the field. Yet Concordia's control for the game could muster but one goal the first half. Many oppor-tunities for goals were followed by feeble kicks which resulted in no goals until Bob Zschering broke the ice with a fine kick late in the half.

The second half saw Concordia fight the wind as well as Pills-bury. A fine team effort helped Concordia to master both an come up with two more goals. The goals, kicked by Ralph Thompson and Ken Schoenike were the result of fine passing displayed by the front line in the second half. Concordia's strong defense lapsed but once as Pills-bury broke through for their only goal midway in the second half. The win assured Concordia for third place in the conference.

Champion Men's intramural football cham-

pion was clinched by the Polacks defeating the 2nd place Bears 21-7 on October 20. Captain David Marth led his team to glory by scoring touchdowns and passing for another.

Early in the first period, the Polacks scored on four plays with Chris Linn catching a one yard pass from Marth for the touch-down. Minutes later as the Bears were deep in their territory, Linn sparked the defense by crashing through the Bears' line and snatching Captain Darwin Scha-uer in the end zone for a safety. As the Polacks gained possession with 3 minutes remaining in the

Polacks first half, Marth was spotted on the receiving end of a 30 yard scoring pass from Bob LaFleur. The Bears failing to connect were thus trailing 14-0 at intermission.

As the period began, the Po-lacks staged a good drive and countered once more as Marth brought the ball in from the two yard line. The extra point try was successful and the lead was was now 21-0.

With 5 minutes remaining, Darwin Schauer rushed 30 yards along the sidelines and across the goal line providing the Bears with their lone touchdown.

The champion Polacks went un-defeated in 9 tries while tne Bears ended up 6-3.

Panic? Fall Quarter has sped rapidly

by and only one week of classes remains. It is bound to be an ex-citing week, because it will be followed by Fall Quarter finals.

The tenth week of classes is "panic week." Students suddenly realize that the axe is about to fall, so they scatter in all direc-tions in vain attempts to avoid it. The library is packed with stu-dents who are busy discussing how they are going to "flunk this test! I don't know anything!" The Student Union is busy too. "I'm taking a study break—I studied for that New Testament exam for nine hours straight!" Strange-ly enough, the Chapel is almost empty. "Don't have time for Cha-pel tonight—I've got my biology exam first hour in the morning!"

The dorms are busy places too. "Come on Mary, help me put up these 'Quiet, Please,' signs."

"Hey! Shut up you guys! Do you want me to flunk Greek?"

Down in the lounges students are furiously at work on their finals. "Gary—I've only got a 55 average in World Literature. That hebetude prof is always giving us tests when I'm not pre-pared. It just isn't fair!"

If you are really brave, peek into someone's room along about Sunday night. Be careful though, you may get a pillow in the face—or you might get the whole bed. "Get lost you dope! Everytime I try to study somebody else walks in!"

Try an early morning look—say about 6:00 A.M. Saturday. Stu-dents are sleeping at their desks and all the lights are burning. Other bleary-eyed scholars are stumbling around searching for "my notebook! I iorgot to mem-orize those tests and measure-ment formulas!"

"Jim, come back at noon and wake me up. I didn't get to bed until 5:30!"

To say the least, final week creates a change of pace. It's a good thing that finals are follow-ed by vacation. Probably the profs can stand as much recuperation as the students.

What I suggest is that you try during these school years to un-derstand the why's of govern. ment rather than the political means of achieving a govern-ment with particular orientation. The mechanics of government can be learned at anytime.
