FROM OUR lPRlESlllDlEN'l's At sea in a storm the ship will now rise on the crest of the wave to unbelievable heights, now go down, deep down, into the very depths of the storm-wrought trough. That is the story also of Luther College. Vilhen the Main Building was dedicated in ' If 1865 Luther was on the crest of a mighty wave. The fire of 1889 brought her down where ruins told the story of her greatness. Then like the phoenix she rose again from the ashes. She soared to greater heights o ser- rr vice and well being. Larsen Hall, Loyalty Hall, the hospital, Koren Library, the C. K. Preus Gymnasium were added. The staff and the enrollment were several times doubled. Tihen came the fire of 1942. Again Old Main went down. XVe entered the war. Our boys and many of our teachers entered the ser- vice. Down in the trough? Yes, but rising again. The blood plasma of a 5B300,000 build- ing fund was given. The architect tells us a little more is needed. The church, the alum- ni, and other friends have spoken their i'R'9SLl1'Q'3.l11i', and are still working. Through them God is lifting Luther up. The boys will, God willing, come back after the war. Larsen will be remodeled for them. A women's dormitory will rise. The enrollment of women will grow. Instructors now serving our country will return. Luther will ride again on the crest of the wave. The chimes from D a new tower will ring: t'To Luther let us sing. And in thousands of hearts will echo and re-echo the old motto, Soli Deo Gloria! I . X' ORLANDO WARREN QUALLEY A.B., A.M., rn D.

Homecoming, the Red Cross drive and varied types of parties were among the number of things the Council directed with sparkling success. Approximately 351-17 was contributed to the Red Cross by an almost unan- imous number in the student body. Campus decorations and the election of the homecoming queen, Esther I, for the week-end of October 17 were under their supervision. Outstanding among evening entertaininents was the trut.h and con- sequences party conducted by Professor Vic Tinderholt, along with play nights and schottische parties which were aniusements for students conined to the campus even on Week-ends because of wartime restrictions on gas and tires. All classes are represented in t.l1e Student Council, thus making it truly democratic. Functions of this governing body, as listed in the Student Body Constitution, are to coordinate student activitiesg to authorize expenditures of the student body fundg to act as the connecting link between the students and the facultyg to serve as the expression of the students' opinion, to consult With the faculty on matters related to the welfare of Luther Collegeg to organize and supervise liomeconnig festivities and electionsg to organize and coordinate social activities ot the student bodyg a11d to appoint the Homecoming Committee, elec- tion judges, and ballot counters. The council. brings any matter of special importance before the entire student body for its consideration and decision. As regular as Luther College Chapel exercises, just so sure is the appearance of the student body president in front of the N orsenien every morning. Under l1is presiding, the ayes and nays are echoed through the gym in reply to the Student Council suggestions. Jack Lien, a pre-seminary stu- y dent who excels in the classics, was elected to this position last fall and managed the affairs of the student body until the end of the first se- mester when he completed his col- lege course. Robert Nelson, the vice president, who has blown a mellow cornet during his four , years at Luther, took over the duties at this poi11t. Between these two senior prexies, Work has progressed smoothly, even under obstacles introduced by Pearl Har- bor. 20 ev- Tradition at Luther says that each spring' the women turn the tables and take over campus life-dating Rllfl all. At the head of arrangements is the WOH1811yS Senate, composed of representatives from each class. This group, which promotes all coed activities, has this year had the added responsibility of Red Cross work and of war stamp sales to students and faculty. Regular activ- ities continued this year included the ever-popular big-little sister arrangements to take care of new girls and a. series of teas for all campus folk. Elaine Ander- son, who was this year's president of the NVomen's Self Government Association, has guided its projects. An innovation this past year has been the Mens Senate, created to serve the same purpose for the men as the XV.S.G.A. Senate does for the coeds. Bob Lar- sen, executive, has also taken over this year as monitor of Larsen Hall, thus removing the necessity of a deanls living in the dorm, In this group, too, all classes are represented, Hllfl it serves as a unifying force among the men on campus while, during the war, they remain the minority group. 21 WE PLEDGE OUR SERVICES oumsmu 1...-...H fs: f 'l'4a.. f l an-satin.,-an mama--aa ESTERN UNIO ruahauum mn .T -w bm- Lua-y uvnrr rmmnrms pi umm. mwapiusrawnanbfmzn www!

It was worded and telegraphed to the President of the United States on the same day. The College has kept its pledge to the ut- most. The service Hag is symbolic of Luther's greatest contribution-her men and women. Al- mostdaily more Norsemen enter the armed ser- vices. There are Norselnen in the army. the navy, the coast guard, and the marine corps besides the women's services. In 1942-43 it was the duty of the Defense Council, a group of students chosen by a facultv connnittee. to keep a file of the Norsemen in the service. It also had charge of the service flag. In order that the absent Norsemen might ac- quaint themselves with the current campus news and the whereabouts and activities of other alumni and former students. the college bi- weekly publication, College Chips. was sent to them. There were on the campus in 1942-43 the V-5 and V-7 Naval Reserve groups. These men received intensified training preparatory to receiving' naval commissions. The V-7 group ZZ had charge of the campus flag. raising it in the morning and lowering it at night with impres- sive ceremony. The first Luther man on the campus to be sworn into the Naval Reserve was Ray Franck. Ray. a. V-7 enlistee. was an outstanding Luther man and a high-ranking student. He was sworn into the Naval Reserve in a ceremony conducted on Navy Day, October 27, 1942, during chapel exercises. A The V-7 group was called into active service in the spring of 1943. Among those included in this call were eighteen seniors. Special com- mencement exerciscs were conducted for them on March 25, 1943, when the eighteen men . received their degrees. X !1 TN 1 gg - ' .

This unit folds band- ages, working in five rooms of Larsen Hall vacated by men now in service. It meets twice Weekly, every Monday evening and Saturday afternoon, to give as many girls as possible an opportunity to contribute some time to a not- able and necessary task. The girls average about 1000 surgical dressings each week. Mrs. Ham- let Petersen is in charge of the group, and girls from the upper classes act as supervisors. More work for the Red Cross has come from the Pi Kappa Tau girls, who have made afghans for the Red Cross both semesters this year. Every member was required to knit three six- inch squares as her contribution to each afghan. The VV.S.G.A. has been selling war stamps and bonds for the past two years. Every Wecliiesclay morning before and af-ter chapel there is someone ready to change dimes and quarters into stamps for victory. House presi- dents have taken the lead as victory saleswomen. Wlieii, in the spring of 1943, a nation-wide contest was conducted to find a war bond queen among students, Luther participated. Each war stamp pur- chased gave the buyer the right to cast a vote for one of four candidates. Wiiiiier of the campus contest was Olive Sharpee, elected war 'bond queen of Luther College. The contest for bond queen of 1944 resulted in victory for Inez Brunsvold. Remembering the successful bond drive that featured the previous year's con- test, the students participated enthusiastically, buying many dollars' worth of stamps and bonds and casting their votes for their favorite representative. Miss Brunsvold received her title at the coed banquet in May, when Student Body President Robert Nelson ofncially crowned her bond queen of the year. 23 'Yfi wgofff' Nl F OQZA x0 x' .

Preus Gymna- sium OUR lBlElLO'VlED MAESTRO RlETlllRlES Wlieii Dr. Carlo Sperati, now retired, came to Luther College as head of the music department in 1905, he immediately began the task of making the band a famed organization. For the first two major tours, Dr. Sperati toolf his band to the west coast in 1906 and in 1911, and in 1914 the Luther College Concert Band made its first European tour. In 1915 the band appeared at San Francisco in the Panama-Paciic Exposition and in 1921, 1925, and 1927 again toured the lVest. As part of the observance of the seventy-fifth anniversary of Luther's founding, the memorable Diamond Jubilee European tour of 1936 was made. As he made the name of the Luther College Band a famous one, personal honors came also to Dr. Speratl. St. Olaf awarded him the degree of doctor of music in 19345 in 1936 he was made Knight of the First Class of the Order of St. Olav. in Oslo, Norway, and now that he has retired from active directorship Dr. Sperati continues to hold the honored title of professor emeritus of music. 46 STUDENT STNGERS PRESENT MESSTAH The rendition of Handels famous oratorio, The Messiah, is a tradition at Luther and even in the winter of 1943, with a marked shortage of male voices, The Messiah was given with all the enthusiasm of the good old days under the direction of Dr. Sigvart A, Hotland. In 1905 Dr. Carlo Sperati organ- ized the Decorah Choral Union, and each year the combined musical forces of Luther College and the city of Decorah gave performances of great choral works such as Haycln's Creation, Mendelssohifs Elijah and Bach's Passion Ac- cording to St. Matthew. The Messiah was first given in 1907, became the favorite, and has been rendered almost every year since then. The Messiah is accompanied by piano, organ, and an orchestra made up of college students and instrumentalists of Decorah. The chorus usually num- bers approximately one hundred and it, too, is still supported by singers of Decorah, some of whom have sung The Messiah every time it has been given si11ee the first. The last two years, almost all the soloists have been Luther students, a fact which proves Luther's musical self-sufficiency. Included in plans for a post-war Luther College are those for a large, well- organized Mixed Chorus. which will continue the yearly presentations of The Messiah. 47 cl Row: R.

SCHOLA CANTORUM, SCHUOL OF SllNGlElRS Organized in 1931 by Theodore Hoelty-Nickel, the Schola Cautorum has always held a leading place among musical organizations at Luther. Schola Cantorum is Latin for School of Singers and every year it is made up of enthusiastic fellows who really can and do sing. Its conductor during the past two school years has been Dr. Sigvart Hotland. The Hrst Schola had forty members, but in peak years the number has been about sixtyg and now, war or no war, Schola is still in existence. The member- ship is smaller because there are fewer fellows on campus CUncle Sam needs a lot of men ll, but that hasn't kept those that are here from carrying on with a 'fine chorus. They have made public appearances, as the Schola always has, at various churches in and near Decorah and at several functions on the campus, the Lutheran Students' Convention, for example. The Schola Cantorum has made a number of extensive concert tours through several states and covering the east and west coasts. Every person connected with Luther is confident that after the war the college will get a new start, its enrollment will soar, and the proportion of men and women will settle at normal, having been at both extremes. lt is hoped that there will be a bigger and even better Sehola Cantorum in the post-war world. with opportunities for young men to become acquainted with the best in male chorus music.

Through the various religious organizations. the Lutheran Students' Union, the Lutheran Daugh- ters of the Reformation, the Braafladt-Brevig Mis- sion Society, the Breakfast Club and the LSU Forum, students lind outlets for the expression of their Christian interests and training for future leadership. Their ae- tivities have not been greatly curtailed this year, despite other war-time reductions. In fact, the LSU Forum, Where problems and issues facing Christian students are openly discussed, was an addition to this yt-ar's activities. Cnr Board of Religious Activities. elected by the student body, with Pastor Field as adviser, has been on hand each week to guide and aid the religious activ- ities. Daily chapel attendance by all students is characteristic of our campus. The lVord of God. spoken each day by Dr. Preus, Pastor Field, or visiting speakers, is part of that Christian education we re- ceive and is and will be the plus in our Christian living. Here also we see and hear our Luther friends in Service who come back on fur- lough and share some of their time with ns. Evening devotions in our dor- mitories are a. time to feel the closer fellowship of Christian liv- ing' that comes from living in fam- ily quarters. XVc remember this year the in- spiration given us by the Rev. Ar- nold Nelson at our Religious Em- phasis NVeek-End in December, the timely book reviews at LDR, giving ns that urge to read, messages of conviction from our students at LSU, and tm insights into home and foreign missions at our Mission Society.

Decoruili Lntlu-run Church SUNDAY WORSHIP DRAWS STUDENTS It would be difficult to find a locality where church and school have been so iden- tified With eaeh other as at Decorah. From the beginning of Scandinavian Lutheranisin in Iowa, this community has been its capital as well as its cradle. Here were its publish- ing house and its oldest college, as well as many of its most influential pastors. No wonder that Decorah churches and Decorah Skolenu have walked hand in hand down the avenue of time. Thus it is traditional that local church loyalty and cooperation with Luther college can be taken for granted. And the generosity of Decorah churches in all campaigns and matters pertaining to the college have been phenomenal. On the other hand, students and faculty have been active and helpful in the various organizations of the church all down the years. This mutual cordiality has contributed conspicuously toward the happy spiritual advancement of Luther College stu- dents. And for it they are happy and grate- ful. Among student-day memories that will linger longest are those of hours spent in wo1'ship and work in Decora,h's two Lutheran churches. First Lutheran Church has been served since 1930 by Pastor T. A. Hoff. Decorah Lutheran Church has been served by Pastor O. G. Fjeldstad since 1941. 54 OUR CAMPUS PASTOR SPEAKS A mere glance at the role that religion plays on campus and in class room at Luther College will indicate the importance our school attaches to Christian nurture. And in these days of stress and war it is especially gratifying to note in the many letters that come back from those in the armed service that this training is valued and a.pprecia.ted by Luther's sons and daughters. The spiritual aims and ideals of Luther College are not extreme or compli- cated. But they are challenging. They are these :-Not fanaticism but consecra- tio11. Not a. campus divided against itself, with one group sitting in judgment upon another. but one single family, happy in Christ, to which all belong except those who willfully put themselves out. Not holier-than-thou attitudes, but helpful cooperation and emulation. Not emotionalism but enthusiasm. Not dead orthodoxy but correct Scriptural theology. Not formalism but dignity and devotion. Not regimented. processed religion, but Bible-based, Christ-Hlled individual- ity within the bounds of Christian liberty. Not spiritual egotism and closed minds, but humble. open-minded search for the Truth. Not empty intellectual- ism, but intelligent faith, seasoned with charity. Not impractical unreality destined for disillusionment. but practical, workable reality, grounded on the eternal Verities. Not an arbitrary and heavy succession of duties and penalties. but a Vision illld a. thundering challenge to follow Jesus Christ. Not Lutheranism versus all the rest. but earnest fidelity to Scripture. plus honest, open convictions. Not a work-religion. based on legalism. but the glorious Gos- pel of Gods mercy Hlld g1'ace through faith in Jesus Christ.

These are familiar words to listeners within the broadcasting scope of Luther's own radio station. KNVLC broadcasts daily from the tower studios in C. K. Preus gymnasium and has been a source of comfort, joy, spiritual and educational pleasure to hundreds of listeners. KVVLC is a non-commercial station which strives to be truly the radio voice of a Christian college. Radio director is Kenneth L. Ber- ger of the Luther College faculty and Oliver Eittreim and his daughter Marilyn are the engineers who Work the controls. Since the war, women have found a definite place on the staff of KNVLC where they are em- ployed by the school as announcers, continuity writers, dramatic directors and office workers. The work fur- nished by the men and women in at- tendance at Luther not only keeps the station going on a high standard, but also provides valuable practical experience to young people for future work in speech or radio. - -43 Programs are also broadcast from other places than the studios of KNVLC. Every Sun- day church services are ' broadcasts from one of , W, M, , swamp.. in Decorah. Band and choral concerts go over the air waves from the concert stage in the C. K.

Often special class reports are given over KXVLC to keep the public informed on the progress in various educational lines. lVIepn1- bers of the faculty are popular with weekly prog-rains based on their hob- bies or class work.

Play readers looked long and hard to iind plays that could be produced with a linnted supply of men, but which would still be challenging to the many talented coeds. In November, rehearsals began for the first production-one of the latest Van Druteu-Morris collaborations, The Damask Uheekf' It was an outstanding example ot polite comedy, set in the 191.0 era. Students on the costume com- mittee delved into attics and old trunks to locate properly dated clothes, while the stage committee worked long hours to build an alcove into one corner of the set. The play was hailed a great success, and the audience especially praised the splendid detail work of the production. With this triumph behind them, Campus Players put another play-reading committee to work. Their problem was even more difficult, for more drama- tically-minded fellows had meanwhile been called to the service. VVhen someone found Cry Havoc, which called for an all-woman cast of thirteen, the organ- ization pounced upon it. The plot was timely and dramatic-the story of the courageous women who died at Bataan. Chester Porter staged a sound effect war back stage that could be heard way up to Sunnyside. The stage committee built a, cement bomb shelter and solved such riddles as how to make a lantern shake in the middle of the stage ceiling, while the properties committee tracked down Hrst aid kits and helmets. ln April the play was produced and another Campus Players success acclaimed. Nllith several social events, Campus Players closed the -season.

COLLEGE CI-III3'S OUR STUDENTS' PUBLICATION College Chips has carried on valiantly as the voice of Luther College despite war conditions which have reduced the size of its statif. IVomen have taken over xvith great efficiency in what was previously a IHEIIITS world. Publishing' Chips is entirely a student project. and a responsible and pains- taking one it for students gather all the news, write it up, write the headlines, do the complete make-up job, order all cuts. nd EVGII take all the pictures them- selves. Reporters, under the supervision of e editors. are supposedly NVEl,tCllIllQ at all times .R scoops in addition to covering' their regular J ats. The finances are entrusted to the business maiiager. who this year heroically pulled Chips through in the black. A new fea- ture was recently added to the paper in the form of a. column dedicated solely to Luther servicemen. As a gesture 011 the part of their Alma Mater, these men regularly received Chips free of charge. Prof. David T. Nelson always stood ready with advice. His journalism classes serve as basic in- struction for freshmen aspirants. The general feeling is that working' on Chips is a source of enjoyment as well as a lot of practical experience. The fun and headaches of putting out the paper culminate in a festive banquet tradition- ally sponsored for the whole statlf by College Chips. :mum -. f,,,, . H ' 'Y Top to bottom: C.

True to tradition, Luther College. in spite of war-time difficulties. put out a Pioneer for 1944 with the entliusiastic cooperation of the entire student body. The aim of the Pioneer is to present an infornial. review of life on the college campus. Things began with a bang when Bob Larson, business manager, in l0Z1,f.L'llG with the house presidents. staged a successful subscription campaign which was Q'lV0ll further impetus by a peppy illllli ainusing' skit given before an assembly of students. House presidents also canie to the rescue by sponsoring' a snapshot contest which brought out many behind-the-scenes pictures.

Dr. Chellis Evanson oversees the job. making sure that all of the right papers are ,fretting all of the right news. Now, when so many Luther men have found themselves in all parts of the world and quite re- moved from any news of their Alma Mater, Dr. Evanson has been sending out form letters with all the latest news about the men in service and from the campus. Dr. Evan- son's brusque letters bring' back pleasant memories to those who are gonef The News Bureau doesn't pretend to teach a student the fundamental rules and regulations of good journalism, but it does offer practical experi- ence to possible journal- ists. A staff member tracks down news from the cam- pus, evaluates its interest to the public, writes a. story and sends it out with one eye on the calendar Eilltl the clock. so that the story will arrive in time for printing.

FOOTBALL Luther's 1942 football team failed in its first attempt to defend its confer- enee championship of the year before. by dropping a 19-U decision to Dubuque U. The Norsemen, however. retaliated by holding' St. Olaf to a 13-13 deadlock and by winning their homecoming tilt with Valparaiso, 23-3. Defeats by Simpson. 13-7. and Upper Iowa, 7-0, ruined Ll1til1GI S conference hopes. Central bowed before the Norse, 27-20, as the result .of the brilliant passing C0l11bl1lZlfi0l1 of Carey to Sordeil. ln their tilt with Loras, the Luthermen dominated the play for the first three quarters but fell before the Loras' late attackg the final score was 12-0. . - Football was continued at Luther despite the manpower shortage i11 1943, the schedule consisting' of the annual freslnnau-sopliomore classic and two intercol- legiate tussles. The inter-class spectacle provided the sports feature for home- coming. the freshmen triumphing 31-0. Cornell dropped the Norse by a. score of 27-0. VVhen the team traveled to Northfield, it was to meet a 33-19 defeat at the hands of St. Olaf.

Led by senior forward Ray XVillia1ns, who amassed a, total of 133 points for the season, they rolled up 375 points to their opponents' 432, for an offensive-defelisive average of 34.1-39.3. The record follows: Luther .... .. 31 La Crosse 'l'eachers . . 33 Luther 26 La Crosse Teachers .. 30 Luther 30 Warthurg ,.......... 35 Luther 46 Upper Iowa .. .. 26 Luther .... . . 37 Wartburg . . . . .

Other men who saw action were: Paul Tl10l11DS011, Dick Ulvilden, Har- lan Young, Jim Swenson, Don Thoinpson. Arden Amundson, Bruce Harstad, Roh Dresselhaus, Jack Daly, and Ray Mathsen. Of these, Skaden, Narum, Geiselhart, John- son, Young, Swenson, and Don 'llhompson left school before the season's end. After three straight defeats early in the season. the Norse appeared to have hit their stride late in January. when they trouneed their ancient rivals, Upper Iowa. However, two terrific pastings from power- ful Loras and VVartburg' left them flonn- dering' until they could again victimize Upper Iowa. Then Uncle Sam took a hand and relieved Coach Peterson of three of his regulars, which made the late-season games anything' but pleasant. The Pea- cocks of U. l. U. took two games from the Blue and lllhite at Fayette. The schedule ended more pleasantly, with a victory over the Harmony Independents. lVhile the season was not successful from the standpoint of games won and lost. it did serve its purpose-that of keeping intercolleg-iate sports and enthusiasm alive at Luther. This year's club needs no apol- ogy, with all the fight the boys had. Never- theless. this basketball season gave Luther a chance to prove it could take it on the chin as well as dish it out. ...1 I .V . F fi. .Tfeii1li.Q.i'i' Back Row: Seim, 1 l l WOMlEN?S RECREATIONAL ASSOCllA'lI'llON Under the leadership of an ener- getic executive council. and with the encouragement of Mrs. Kenneth Berger, girls' physical education in- structor. the NVomen's Recreation Association, long inactive. came to life this year. Every woman student at Luther automatically became a member of the organization upon registration. At the first meeting, the following officers were elected: Lorain Sever- son, presidentg Ruth Ann Leikvold. vice-presidentg Connie Hanson, sec- retaryg Connie Dahl, recording secre- taryg Blanche Anderson, publicity manager, and Jean Arneson. intra- mural manager. In addition, man- agers were elected to conduct these sports: badminton, Norma Opdahlg volley ball, Betty Dahlg basketball. W' i Vilera Gedstadg softball, Mildred A an Kroenerg outings, Kay Seimg winter sports, Elaine Andersong tennis. Lucianne Hodgesg and recreational sports. Shirley Bird. A party Was held in the girls' gym to mark the oiiticial opening of the W.R.A. Girls were very interested in the tournaments conducted in the competitive activities as evidenced by the number of participants. Tournament results were posted on the bulletin -board and team spirit ran high. The NV.R.A. set up a system whereby the members could earn points toward an award for their participation in athletics. A certain number of points was assigned each activity and upon the accumulation of 1000 points, the individual was entitled to a letter sweater. XVOIIIQII of Luther are proud of their organization and be- lieve it has accom- plished its aims of fostering inteiest Sp0ItS incieasing physical etficiencx and developing a higher degree of sportsmanship a nd school spirit. In achieving these ends. the W.R.A. makes its contribution both to the national war effort and to coed life at Luther. i I and participation in If - L.. . I., ' , . K-' A C. Hanson, J. Kloster, B.

Because of their excess vitality. the treslnnen are the greatest participants. Could we say the reason is that by the time they are upper elassmen their ability to dodge the trees has been so perteeted as to eliminate the fun As a winter indoor sport, basketball has the ma- jority ot attention. Through a. competitive class tourney the winner is determined and some ont- standing players are discovered. The girls play volleyball not only among them- selves but with the fellows in organized eo-reerea,- tion-a wartime innovation. Too had they cant use girls' rules tor both gamesg maybe then they would have made a better showing against the fellows than they did last winter. Both in the fall and in the spring you very otten see ambitions girls climbing the many De- corah hills. -lust pack a lunch and let's hike, they say. Hiking solves the problem of gas-less days. During the entire term the girls continually stand with a paddle in their hands-a ping-pong paddle. Most ot' them are not satisfied with merely playing hut cultivate some mean drives. Ping- pong is one sport where the girls ean compare on equal terms with the fellows. All kinds ot sports provide 'W.R.A. 'points for the girls. so there is an increased incentive to 'linke part.
