Concordia alum Phil Droege ’89, director of the White House records management offi ce,gave a talk to students and faculty on Friday, April29 , and was the keynoter for Concordia’sannual Donor Recognition Day luncheon on April30. Droege has served in the recordsmanagement offi ce for three presidents. He is responsible for consulting on all White Houserecords issues and manages the transition of records from the White House to the National

Archives at the end of an administration. Among the daily tasks Droege’s offi ce undertakes is to make a record of the letters—

currently 50,000 a week—from Americans to the president. Some of the letter writers will addobjects to their letters to emphasize their point. In the photo, left, Droege is holding a bag of marbles. One letter writer asked the president if he had lost his.

In his Donor Recognition Day speech he recounted his experiences at Concordia and theirinuence on his life and career. “When I left Seward, I left with a comfort level about being

a Christian, about being a Lutheran,” said Droege. “Tis has given me a great deal of comfortin talking about my faith.”

His faith has also helped him keep his moral bearings. “You make the tough right answerrather than the easy wrong answer,” said Droege. “Tat’s what I got from Concordia.”

Pete Kenow, Concordia’s vice president for institutional advancement, announced in Aprilthe formation of a new scholarship endowment, Te Bulldog Legacy Football ScholarshipEndowment Fund. Te endowment was begun by football players from the late1980sfootball squads and has already grown to more than $20,000 in contributions.

“Tese Concordia alumni enjoyed their experience on campus and on the eld,” Kenow explained,“and they don’t simply want to be nostalgic about it. Tey want to give back to the university in a way that will live on.”

Te former players desired to provide Concordia’s head football coach the opportunity to recognize an outstanding player with a signicant, renewable scholarship. Te BulldogLegacy Football Scholarship will go to a student who meets all academic and characterstandards of Concordia and who displays outstanding leadership on and off the playing eld,as well as Christian sportsmanship and superior athletic performance.

wenty-one Mission–Minded Students usedtheir spring break to travel to Metairie, La.,to aid in hurricane relief. Six months afterHurricane Katrina, there are still damagedhouses that haven’t yet been touched.

“It [the damage] was worse than I everimagined,” says Mission–Minded StudentsPresident Emily Norman. “I don’t know if there’s a word to describe it.”

During the week, the students guttedthree homes. Tey took out all of thebelongings, ripped up the oors, drywall,insulation, ceiling and took out all of thenails. Piles were made in front of the housesfor garbage companies to pick up the trash.

At the nal house the group gutted, they met a 73-year-old woman named Grace.

Grace’s father built her home and she hadlived in it all her life. According to KendraHonebrink, her house was the worst thatthey saw. “Nothing had been taken out, andthe walls were almost black with mold,” saidHonebrink. “Tere was even still water insome grocery sacks and tubs that were onthe oor.”

As the group sorted through thebelongings they tried to salvage things thatGrace wanted to keep.

“It was very emotional seeing her reactionto what we could save and what we had tothrow away,” said Norman. “But she wasa woman of the Lord and hadn’t lost hope.She was amazing.”

Concordia conducted a planned burn of its prairie of native grasses, a two acre plot east of David Hall. Jacob Bauer (below, with torch), a May graduate with experience ghting forestres, helped the Seward Fire Department ignite the grass. Jackie Ott, above, was the student incharge of the burn. Her goal was to have the re eliminate the cool-season grasses and enablethe warm-season varieties that are more resistant to re. Supervised by Dr. Joseph Gubanyi, theprairie burn project was part of Ott’s independent study in conservation biology. Ott graduatedin May and will begin an assistantship at Kansas State University to study plant and prairieecology in the fall.

“Having this opportunity opens so many doors for me,” says Wisroth. “I’m denitely going into the program with an open mind,and I’ll just see where God leads me.”

“Akron likes the broad-based backgroundof Concordia graduates,” said Dr. Jack Kinworthy, geography professor atConcordia. “No Concordia applicant hasever been rejected by Akron.”

Graduates of the Akron program nd jobs at federal, state and local levels, working with government and community

agencies in planning and mapping. Someselect a career in teaching. “Great futureopportunities in geospatial analyst work await graduates,” said Kinworthy.

Above all, she did not want her namealongside her writing. English isn’t her nativelanguage. And her poems describe personalelements of her Papua New Guinea culture.So instead of writing “Anne-Marie Potane”beside her ve poetry entries, she wrote“Esta.” Esta, the Pidgin equivalent of hermiddle name, Esther, would maintain heranonymity to the Concordia community.

Tat’s what Potane thought when shesubmitted her poetry to the campuspublication Potpourri. Not only werefour of Potane’s poems selected for thecurrent issue, two received the “Critic’sChoice” award. Members of Concordia’shonorary English society, Sigma au

Delta, and Concordia’s English faculty ranked 100 pieces that students submittedbased upon creativity and style. Of the40 poems chosen for publication,10 wereforwarded to a guest critic, Rev. DavidBrinkmeyer. Brinkmeyer, a1995 Concordiagraduate, was published in Potpourri as astudent and since then has also written andproduced several plays.

As a critic Brinkmeyer searched for fourpoems that expressed things in a new way.“I didn’t want clichés or overused phrases. I

looked for writers that used language creatively and used a different voice,” says Brinkmeyer.

Tose creative voices annually connectmembers of Concordia’s campus throughthe written word. Matt Kristalyn,

Potpourri’s editor-in-chief, believes thepublication encourages the emotionalrelease that comes through writing.

“For some it is a release of pressure,for others a fountain of joy and laughter,and for yet others, Potpourri is a place tobecome brave and share hidden fears andanxieties,” says Kristalyn.

Dr. Lisa Ashby, English professor andfaculty advisor for Potpourri, appreciates the way the publication provides a view into thethoughts, ideas and concerns present in theConcordia community and throughout the world. It provides “a poetic exploration of faith life,” says Ashby, “helping students seethings through the lens of Christian faith.”

Potpourri has been a part of the campusscene since1966 . Andrew Grzeskowiak, a1969 Concordia graduate who was publishedin Potpourri throughout his time in college,received Concordia’s “Outstanding Studentin Writing” award in 1969 . Grzeskowiak now lives in California and still writes forfun. His books written for business travelershave been published by World rade Press.

Grzeskowiak advises aspiring writers to“Find a community, a writing responsegroup who will give you praise and,

much more importantly, criticism.” Healso encourages writers to be persistent,expect rejection and read as many things aspossible. “Look for writing opportunities wherever you can.”

Former Concordia band director Charles Krutzhopes he can remember the beat pattern fordirecting a march. After all, he’ll be conductingagain soon for a momentous occasion.

Tis year Concordia’s music programturns 100 . o celebrate homecoming this fall

will feature an All-Instrumental Reunion. Alumni who played in an instrumentalensemble or handbell choir will be invitedback to campus Sept.29–Oct. 1. Krutz,along with fellow former Concordiaprofessors Art Fliege and Dr. David Held,

will serve as guest conductors.“I think it’ll come right back,” Krutzlaughed. “[Conducting] is probably just likeriding a bike. You don’t forget.”

Krutz, who today spends more timeperforming than conducting, directedConcordia’s Concert Band, orchestra andother instrumental groups from1956 intothe 1990s. He felt honored by the invitation,as he relished his time as director.

Krutz recalls a particular concert in KansasCity on his rst band tour around 1957. Dueto an important sporting event, audiencemembers listened to the radio during theconcert. Minutes later a hailstorm made thechurch feel like a war zone.

Krutz also remembers tours withhis “Collegium Musicum,” an ensembleinterested in Renaissance and Baroqueinstruments. A pilot, Krutz personally ewthe small group to its destinations on a fourto six passenger plane. Krutz is especially anxious to see former students from thisgroup during homecoming.

Krutz will direct the “First Suite in E-Flat”by Gustav Holst. “It’s a marvelous piece thatincludes melodies that are quite moving,”says Krutz. Art Fliege, Concert Band director from

1963–1987, also will conduct one or twopieces for the alumni group. Fliege fondly recalls band tours from his time as a director.In those “days of cheap fuel,” his band

traveled to Florida, the Pacic Northwestand the Southwest. Student activitiesdirector Luther Klenke chauffeured themin the college-owned motor coach studentsnicknamed the “Blue Goose.”

A self-proclaimed “packrat,” Fliege hasretained all of his old band programs as

well as lists of musicians involved in eachconcert. Fliege still corresponds with nineor 10 of his former students each Christmas.He hopes to share his cassette recordings of past concerts as well as photographs of old

marching band uniforms with participantsduring the weekend.Fliege admits that it will be challenging to

prepare for the all-instrumental concert withonly two days of practice. But he’s convincedthat the “jam-packed weekend” will be full of smiles as participants get to know each otherand reminisce together. After all, he’s seen thesocial bonds that develop between musicians. “Ican thank the Lord that I had a part in buildingthe friendships between some of my students.Some even led to marriage,” Fliege commented.

Dr. Held, who will direct the alumnihandbell choir, agrees. “I hope that thepeople who come would enjoy each otherand making music together. It will be funto see many of the alumni and work withthem in making music,” said Held, whodirected Concordia’s handbell choir from1979–2000 .

o register for the All-InstrumentalReunion, alumni are asked to complete aregistration form at www.cune.edu. All-instrumental registrations are due July 30.

Dr. William Kuhn, current director of Concordia’s Wind Ensemble, has already received many inquiries. Te weekend willprovide the opportunity “to get peopleback together to celebrate Concordia’smusic history,” said Kuhn. “Tere are somany things we’ve been blessed with, andthe instrumental groups have also been ablessing to many.”
