The 1 1980 W RTBURG COLLEGE FORTRESS The Fortress looks at: Floor shirts Specially designed shirts continue to be a lighthearted way to boast what part of campus students are from. Many floors and even some organizations inventoried the artistic skills of their members and came up with a design unique to the group. After a trip to one of the area ' s sportshops or T-Shirt stores for designs to be screened on shirts, students were seen wearing almost every type of top, from Centennial Ill ' s jersey to Clinton Ground North ' s knit golf shirt. Grossmann I opted for floor caps. Cost varied from $5 to $1 5 and smaller floors boasted that 1 00% of their residents had purchased shirts. ROW 1: Hebron Ground, Hebron I, Hebron II, Hebron III, Schmidt House, Wiederaenders House, Ernst House, Engelbrecht House; ROW 2: Centennial Ground, Centennial I, Centennial II, Centennial III, Wartburg Hall, Wartburg I, Wartburg III, Grossmann III; ROW 3: Vollmer Ground, Vollmer I, Vollmer II, Vollmer III, Cornils House; ROW 4: Clinton Ground South, Clinton Ground North, Clinton I South, Clinton II North, Grossmann I. 21

Committee members work to enhance community spirit Convocations Community Time programs present speakers, events to stimulate awareness, concern for campus, world scene Stimulation from outside sources and lively conversation among students, faculty members and administrators are reasons Dr. Herman Diers gives for the existence of Wartburg ' s Convocations Community Time program. Diers is chairman of the committee that organizes and manages such events on campus. With implementation of the new daily class schedule, Wednesday mornings were opened up for community events for the first time in Wartburg ' s history. The committee became responsible for filling that time. The committee has four goals it hopes to accomplish through its programs: to provide common worship time, a way to give students a rich kind of service, according to Diers. A second goal is to make students more aware of common problems and campus issues. Diers cites the college ' s new general education program as one example of the way communication can make a good idea even better. In response to the Community Time panel discussion on the requirements, a drastically changed but much more workable general education program was devised. Allowing the college to use its immediate resources was another project of the committee. Diers enlisted the aid of local Middle East and Soviet experts Dr. Kent Hawley, Art Frick and Ted Heine for a lecture discussion session on the Afghanistan crisis just in the heat of the conflict. The committee ' s final goal is to bring outside lecturers to the campus. These are usually scheduled for Community Time on Wednesday so most students can attend. Convocation Community Time features included: — a Sept. 6 opening convocation by Dr. William Foege, director of the Center for Disease Control at the United States Public Health Service. He spoke of the means of measuring civilization and stressed that the American concept of a civilized society is not universal. — a Sept. 1 2 address by Dr. Douglas Steeples, vice president for academic affairs. Steeples presented various views of the philosophy of education and how each affects Wartburg ' s curriculum. — a Sept. 1 9 panel discussion led by members of Wartburg ' s general education committee. The committee outlined plans for the revamping of requirements and answered questions from the audience. — a Sept. 26 convocation by Dr. Ray Short, a sociology professor at the University of Wisconsin-Platteville. Short delighted and informed his audience with a presentation on Sex: Love or Infatuation? — an Oct. 1 0 Homecoming Pep Rally. The rally was held in Knights Gymnasium and kicked off Homecoming Week activities. — an Oct. 1 7 convocation by Dr. Walter Menningerof Topeka, KS. Menningeris clinical director and director of residency training at the Topeka State Hospital. He discussed college-age suicide in Youthful Suicide — An Epidemic? — an Oct. 24 Senate meeting with presentations by Dr. David Hampton, chairman of the general education committee. Dr. Dan Thomas and Dr. Herman Diers, committee members. Senators heard the workings of the proposal, as presented at the previous open panel discussion on the requirements. — an Oct. 31 Reformation Day Service. The festival featured the Gdanski Medical Academy Choir and the Wartburg Choir as music groups and the Rev. Homer Larson, pastor of Nazareth Lutheran Church in Cedar Falls, preached. 22
