New University Cent r At PLU Unites Calnpuses, COffilnunity In appearanc e , it is rugged, colorful and individualistic.

In concept, It will unite the university both geographically and S OC ially.

In tbe- in tent . it will link stud, nts. r cul­ ly. admirustration. alumni, church and commumty in an underuab l e way through the versatility of il5 facilities. This has already been accomplished to a rea t ex· �nt by the br ad base of lmanCla support which mad the structure possible.

In me, it is Ule Universit Center, whIch wil l be dedicated at PLU ov.8.

Conceived a decade ago, the center reached the early pldl1lUJlg stage tn 1964.

It wa s t e key building in PLU's long­ range PLUS pl an, and [1160 became known as tlle official LIFE building on the PLU am p us .

Approximately one-fourth of its total m illi on win ventually be sus­ cO t of fJ. tai by the Amencan Luth ran hurch Luthera Ingathering for Education (LIFE) fund. lique in that I( ha fhe center is also receIVed broad financial support £rom PL 5t dents . n contrast 10 ma ny of heir contemporaries who seek instant solutions to problems, nearly 3000 P L r students have as'It'Q"i!1 themselves heaVily during Ih� past SIX years knowing that they would ot benefil from the c ler during t heir college career.

$250,000 has been contributed by stu­ dents alone.

The center is also a community pro­ ject, having received /I substantial loan from a onsortium of . even local banks.

Designed by Bindon and Wright of Se­ attle the center i-located on the site of the ld CI "room Building and has major enlJ'a nces on boU. upper and lower cam­ pus.

With almost 86,000 sq uar e feet, it IS the largest building on campus. It hou es the uruversity's (ood servIce and dirung areas, bookstore, offices for student government and publications, a coffee ho use , Chris Knutzen Fellowship Hall. and special m­ terest areas I ncluding bowling alIeys. bll liard and table tennis rooms. music listen­ mg ar a and reading rooms.

o

l; niversily C ent reflects the limitless reedom and rug g individualism synony ­ mous with the forests and I es of the Puget Sound region. Its bright, warm col­ on; keynote the hospitality for which the area is famous. And the o penness of the urtyard, the soarlJlg wooden trusses �nd the solid facade all mirror the fjords of Norway. from which prings the PLU ler­ ilage.

In essence, the University Center unites PLU's campus, its past and lls fu­ ture.

Blues Artist B.B. Kin g Sets I-Iomecoming Concert At PL U B.B. King, the "bossman of the blues." will appear in concert in Olson Auditorium Friday, Oct. 23, during Pacific Lutheran Universi­ ty's 1970 Homecoming.

N istad, Soine Named Alumnus Of The Year Two enthusiastic and dedicated alumni will be honored Alumnus of the Year at the Pacific Lutheran University alumni banquet Satur· day, Oct. 24.

They are Robert Nistad, a Lu­ theran Brotherhood Insurance executive ill Seattle, and Malcolm Soine, owner of Soine's Shoe Stores in Tacoma.

Nistad, a 1953 graduate, has been active in the PLU Alumni Association for 13 years. He was chairman of the annual fund drive in 1965-66 and president of the association in 1968-69.

His concern for PLU and its students was never more clearly evidenced than during the past summer. At that time he estab­ lished the Margaret P. Nistad Memorial SchOlarship, in memory of his wife, who met an unfortun­ ate death in an automobile acci­ dent last June.

The scholarship is designed to help support a needy student, pre­ ferably in the late Mrs. Nistad's field of education.

Soine, class of '52, served as annual fund director during 196970 and has continued in that post this year. His gifts of both money and time contributed to by far the most successful annual fund in the association's history.

His efforts were so extensive during the past year that he was described as an "assistant develop­ ment man" for the university.

1969 aft r a "day before" which was 20 years long, bas had offers to appe��r in all the major prestige rooms m the country this year. He has been featured at Caesar's Pal­ ace in Las Vegas and has appeared on many network variety pro­ grams.

Known to be one of the greatest blues artists of all time and the most influential exponent of this form, King "paid his dues" with nearly two decades of one night stands, primarily on the South's "chitlin' circuit." Then he was discovered by a whole new genera tion of black and white students and the pure blues had become respectable.

The singer's style is distinctive.

He and his red guitar, Lucille combine to produce an immitable quality, often that of the mistreat ed lIlan trying to straighten out his woman.

Arrangements for advance tick ets can be made by contacting the alumni office. Tickets will also be available on campus.

By OJ'. Eu gen e Wiegmrut PreSident, Pacific Lutheran University 'Vt'lcome Hi a year of commit­ ment! As you may know, our year of joy has drawn to a close over these short surnmer months. T have not changed my mind about at year; for me it was a year of j Y< It was a year of joy because of the stUdents at LU, and be­ cause of friends of the college, p articularly tht' alumnL I want to extend my sincere thanks to you, the aiumni, for your contributions to this year of joy.

You are to be commended for tht' lively, new philosophy you h�ve chosen to pursue, a course which takes an active interest in our stu­ dents and our eurriculum< The spirit of concern you expressed in your work on the alumni scholar­ ship program and the broadcast services van fit well with our nt'w tht'me, a year of commitmt'nt.

In announcing tht' theme of commitment at convocation this year, I dealt with the beguiling question, "Where do we go from here?" Although I am not a proph­ et, there are certain indicators which point to our future< I can assure you, for example, that students at PLU wll i continue 1.0 be concerned< They are commit­ ted to a new world, and I St'e them pursuing their dream both in the classroom and in our community. I also see a facultv that will work with these students , challenging them, and initiating new programs w hich offer students the opportuni­ ty to make themselves relevant and involved< I see an administra­ tion which will encourage this inno­ vation and, with the addition of Dr< Jungkuntz as our new provost, provide dynamic leadership in the academic sphere< AU around , I see a new commitment to Christ-like hYing, and a personal joy in the practical application of this spirit

In announcing the year ot commitment. I quoted G erman theologian Dietnch Bonhoe £f{;f wh wrote two decades ago, "Only in action is tht're freedom" 1t is in what we do _. not what we 'ay­ that our mission is fulfilled< 1 think this definition of comm itment is particularly relevant to the alumni of PLU< I encourage you to expand and continue your conumtment to promoting your univerSIty.

But the individual concern we foster at PLU is, frankly, expensive< If we are to treat each student as the unique person that he is, we must look to you for assistance< Finally, we need your commit­ ment in prayer and counseL To­ gether we stand committed an with this unity comes strength an conviction< I challe nged the faculty to accept the call to being great men, to mark well the hour in which we live, and to commit themselves to our final answer, Jesus Christ our Lord.

The banquet will be held in the new University Center Saturday, Oct. 24, a t 5 : 4 5 p.m.

The newest D istinguished Alum­ nus is a distinguished man in many tields. Professionally, he is among the international elite in the a rea of ransplant biOlogy, and has done some of the original research which has made heart transplanta­ tion possible.

He is curr nUy searching for a solution to the complex rejection factor, which to date has made transplantation hazardous, though the techniques of the operation have been established.

Academically, Rieke is one of the most outstanding scholars ever to graduate from PLU . Four years after his valedictory address at Cashmere H igh School near his hometown of Odessa, Wash., he graduated with straight A ' s at the top of his class at PLU . He then went on to graduate from the U ni­ versity of Washington M edical School with honors.

Personally, he is a man "with a sense of humility and a deep con­ cern for all humanity , " according to Mrs. Edwi n H unicutt of Seattle, whose most recent nomination resulted in Rieke's selection. "He has a priceless sense of humor but lives his life in such a way as to be loved, respected and even imitated by those who know him," she add­ ed.

Until 1 966 Rieke was second man in the department of anatomy at the University of Washington.

Twice he was selected by the me di­ cal students as "Teacher of the Year," and at the same time re­ mained prolific in research and t.he development of research publica· tions.

Jon Olson Resigns As Aluillni Head It was with regret that Pacific Lutheran University and the PLU Alumni Association bade farewell this summer to alumni director Jon Olson.

After three years as director of alumni, Olson resigned to become an associate for development at California Lutheran College in Thousand Oaks, Calif.

The change, although "tremen­ dously challenging," according to Olson, was not without regrets.

The 30-year old administrator was raised in the Seattle area. He at­ tended PLU from 1 9 58-62, and he served in both the admissions and alumni offices for six years.

"It's difficult to leave the many, many friends we have in the Northwest, " Olson sai d . H e was speaking for his wife, the former Carol Mani, a PLU grad, and his two-year-old son, EIic. Olson became alumni director in 1 967 following the resignation of Larry H auge, now an administra· tor for the Clover Park School Dis· tIict in Tacoma. During Olson's tenure in the post, the alumni an­ nual fund increased from $6,000 a year to approximately $ 50,000 duIing the campaign now being completed.

He also guided the organization of the first three association chart­ er chapters in Portland, San Diego and San Francisco, and greatly expanded personal contact be­ tween PLU representatives and alumni throughout the country.

Olson graduated from PLU with a bachelor of arts in education degree with majors in social sci­ ence and language arts. In Tacoma he was active in Christ Lutheran Church, the Lakewood Jaycees and Lakewood Unlimited. On campus he participated on a number of committees a nd served as PLU Crew Club advisor.

But in one brief instan t on a Seattle highway la t June 30, the light of Margaret Nistad ' . life was tragically xtinguish d That light had touched the lives of hundreds, perhaps thousands.

Typical of those she helped was Kevin Carey, a senior at Mercer Island High School wh€'re she taught. " . . . she was one of the best teachers I 've known," he wrote fol­ lowing her death. 'She always dis· played a n air of enthusiastic ener­ gy and a keen individual interest in all of her students. She was a wonderful person and a warm, conscientious teacher. She will remain close to my heart for a long time. " Appropriately, her life will COIl­ tinue to have an influence on young people. Her husband, for­ mer alumni board president Rob­ ert Nistad a nd h is family have es­ tablished the M argaret P. Nistad Memorial Scholarship at Pacific L utheran University. The annual scholarship is intended especially to assist young female students planning a career in education, and already includes donations from many PLU alumni and friends. .

"Its intent is to help the univer­ sity in a special way, " Bob Nistad said , "it is a way to help a student become a Christian educator, something for which Margaret stood . " The daughter of Rev . Leonard J .

Kutz, Mrs. Nistad was born in Spo­ kane , Washington. She attended Rogers High School in Spokane , where her father was pastor of St. Peter's Lutheran C hurch for 1 5 years.

She graduated from PLU and became Mrs. Nistad in 1 95 2 .

H e r teaching career began in Tacoma's Bethel School D is rict and included ten years in Spokane and six years in Seattle. She set up the first team teaching program in Spokane.

S he was an active member of the PLU Alumni Association, Prince of Peace Lutheran Church in Seattle, American Lutheran C hurch Wom­ en, National Education Association and Washington Education Asso· ciation.

Mrs. Nistad is survived by her husband, daughters Marjorie, 1 6 , a n d Katherine, 2 1 months, a n d her brother, Dr. Paul Kutz (major, USAF).

Knights Ranked Nationally After Openin g 47-0 Rout Of Whitworth Pacific Lutheran U niversity's nights are ranked " No . 1" among northwest small colleges and " No. 15" in the nation following a 47-0 rout of Whitworth College m the opening game of the football se a­ son.

Pulverization was the descrip· tion but not the intent as Coach Roy C arlson swept his bench dur­ JOg the latter part of the second uarter and much of the second half.

With six minutes gone in the game, j unior quarterback Jim Hadland had already directed two touchdown drives of 70 and 87 yards in a total of 11 plays.

SeDlar halfback Dave Halstead , who fi nished the game only 33 yards hy of John Fromm 's all­ time PLU ground-gaining record, w(>pt. 34 ar s for the first TD and gained 97 yards overa ll in the first quar ter alone The second score was a six yard plu nge by j unior B rn n C leman, a second string­

Harshman team defeated the Uni­ versity of Puget Sound 47-0 in 1941.

A good deal of the Lutes' early success may be attributed to Coach Roy Carlson, now in his ninth year at PLU, and the fact that he has a really adequate coaching staff this year, possibly for the first time.

His line coach is Tom Mays, a for­ mer PLU gridder, and his defen­ sive backfield coach is Paul Hos­ eth, a Concordia, Moorh ad, Minn., grad. Part-time assistants are Tony Lister, former Lute quarterback, who is working ith the split ends ; Rick Johnson, recent Lute stand­ out who is working with tackles and middle linebackers ; and Don Monta, also a former Lute, work­ ing with the corner linebackers.

Before the game was over, to uch owns were recorded by all four members of the veteran start­ ing backfIeld: Halstead, H adland, senior halfback Gary Hammer and sophomore f Ullback Dan Pritchard .

Kicker Ed M G rath and reserves Co lema n and q uarterback Tom also con tri buted to the o ROUf point total.

Rec ords ell aU over the fi eld.

PLU amassed 653 total y rds and 55? yaros rushing, both undocu· me nted but considered to be school record . The ru hing total broke the Northwe st Conference stand­ ard by more than the length of a fo tball field.

McGrath's two field goals of 3 5 and 37 yards were longer than Marv Harshman's record of 31 yards, though Harshman's boot didn't include the 10 yards in the end zone.

Senior defensive halfback J ack Irion snared his 1 8 th enemy pass, tying him with Doug Jansen at the head of the PLU list in that de part­ ment .

The sc re also equalled the great e st pomt spread recorded by a Lut eam. PLU 's T mme rvi k-

. Dave Halstead 's 69-yard touch­ down burst off-tackle late in the first quarter gave PLU a lead it never relInquished on the way to a 29-14 victory over Western Wash­ ington State College Sept. 26.

The run also broke the all-time PLU rushing record, set in 1957 by Joim Fromm , now a coach at Sealth High School in Seattle.

By the end of the game, the H illsboro, Ore., senior had ram­ bled for 161 yards, the highest single game total of his career. The evening 's work also gave Halstead

Bud Blair, Tacoma sportscaster, will handle the Knights' play-by­ play. Now president of the Blair sports network, he has voiced high school and college sports in the P uget Sound area for the past eight years.

For those loca alumni who can't make it to the games, KTVW-TV, Channel 13 in Tacoma, is once again telecasting Lute home foot­ ball games, with Clay H untington doing the play-by-play. Videotapes of the games are telecast Sunday evenings at 6 p.m. the day follow­ ing the contest.

The VIkes' final drive carried to the PLU 10-yard line. but at the point the Lutes held. They then gobbled up most of the final eight minutes with a 90-yard drive of their own. .Jim Hadland plunged for the score to ice the game.

PLU's ground offense was the key again� a the Lutes amassed 388 yards rushin g and 441 yards overall.

Lutes Drop 16- 13 Nod To Linfield A field g oal in the last four set. onds of the game by Linfield's Steve Davis gav the Wildcats a 1613 win over Pacific Lutheran Sat­ urday, Oct. 3.

In a game that pi tted the na­ tion's top small college defense (Linfield) against the nation's top small-college offense ( PLU , the defense dominated when it count­ ed, holding the Lutes repeatedly inside the Linfield 20.

Ground Attack Key To Fearsome Lute Offense You hear about a football team that specializes m a ground attack and often the first reaction is "three yards and a cloud of dust . " Especially during today's modern passing era.

But Coach Roy Ca rlson has made the ground attack respecta­ ble and exciting with power sweeps, q uarterback options, end around plays and many oth(>r vari­

ati(l!1s

Dave Halstead an even 300 yards rushing in two games to lead Northwest rushers at this early stage of the season.

On the first play of the second quarter, placekicker Ed McGrath hit his third fie1d goal of the young season to give the Lutes a 9-0 lead.

A three-yard plunge by sophomore fullback Dan Pritchard late in the first half gave PLU a 15-0 lead.

The Vikings refused to roll over and play dead. however. Western quarterback Glenn Hadland, older brother of PLU's signal caller, brought his team back 68 yards in seven plays. The drive was cli­ maxed by a 32-yard touchdown romp by fullback Tom Wigg. At halftime the score was 15-7.

The L utes made it 22-7 early in the third quarter on Jim Hadland's one-yard sneak, but Glenn Had­ land still wasn't through. From that point until the middle of the fourth quarter, the Vikings con­ trolled the game. They scored ear­ ly in the final stanza after a 90-

The attack has resulted in 4 ,755 yards rushing and more than 6,700 yards of total offense in the past 20 games. The Lutes led the North­ west Conference in rushing in 1968 and 1969 and took the total offense title last year. Last season they set new PLU standards in both categories.

So far this year they are well ahead of last year' s pace with 940 yards on the ground and almost 1,100 overall in only two games. . Carlson's stable of powerful backs has been the key. Dave Hal­ stead is in his fourth year as a reg­ ular halfback and is probably the greatest running back in PLU his­ tory. As a sophomore he led North­ west small-college runners with 691 yards and teammate Gary Hammer, also a sophomore that year, ran for 594 yards.

Last year freshman fullback Dan Pritchard, a 225-pounder from Tacoma, blasted for 522 yards up the middle. Halstead added 518 in seven games and Hans Lindstrom, a split end this year, ran for 517 from the halfback slet. Hammer

broke his leg in the season's fourth game last year.

This year Halstead has gained 300 yards in two games, Hammer has picked up 172 and Pritchard has logged 140.

Making the ground attack more effective is Jim Hadland's passing threat. Though he rarely has to rely on the aerial to move the ball, he passed for more than 1,000 v :.4 r. I e; J ..... � .....

I n addition, credit must be given to the offensive line, keyed by All­ American candidate Ross Boice. In the past two years, Boice's cohorts have included Rick Johnson, a 265pound tackle who tried out with the Dallas Cowboys this summer, Duane Oyler, a 235-pound center considered to be one of the top two or three centers in Lute history, and 235-pound Bill Broeker, an all­ conference tackle.

Carlson has plugged the holes admirably this year. With Boice and Broeker back, he also has sophomore guard Bob Nordstrom, a 285-pounder, and guard Sterling Harshman, an outstanding 215pounder who is the son of Sterling Harshman, former Lute track star, and nephew of Marv Harshman, probably the greatest all-around athlete in PLU history.

The proud Lutes are once again on the road to grid glory. Barring unforeseen detours, alums may someday look back on 1970 as they now look back on 1940 as a Golden Age of PLU football.

"Floating Studio"

Alumni Donate M obile Van To PLU Broadcast Services What's in a van? If you're talk­ ing about the Pacific Lutheran U niversity Broadcasting Services van, the answer is the entire Pacif­ ic Northwest That deserves a bit of explaining.

Last M ' reh the PLU Alumni AssociatIOn presented Judd Doughty, director of the broadcast­ ing services department, with a customized van specially built to house all the paraphernalia neces­ sar"y to video-tape the action, no matter where the action is. Since the time of acquisition, less than half a year ago, the van has seen 1 8 1 hours of service. new Before acquiring this "floating studio," the PLU broad­ casting department was confined to cramped quarters on the second floor of the administration build­ ing. But, as Doughty points out, "you can't photograph a tennis match in a studio. " Now things have changed .

"Our mobile van enables us to extend the classroom into the wor d," the silver-haired broad­ caster explains. "The student can observe real problems in the real world. The van is an extension of reality for every academic depart­

It would have been impossible for the entire world religion class to experience this important Judeo tradition-but for the mobile van .

A nd, the original tape will benefit students in years to come .

"That's what I mean by an ex­ tension of reality," states Doughty.

"We were able to add another dimension to the classroom with­ out disrupting either the students' schedules or the ceremony itself. " The van also facilitated coverage of the extensive care of a para­ lyzed person receives in one of our local hospitals. This piece of tape, of course, went to the nursing de­ partment where students say practical application of their class­ room training. The vital and order­ ly operation of the hospital was not affected .

And, of course, it affords communications arts students the opportunity to do relevant field work.

Olson Auditoriu111

Versatility Fulfills Wide Range of Campus Needs (Editors note: As SCENE was being planned earlier this year, it seemed appropria te that the first few photo features be devoted to a reacquainting of alumni with the PLU campus, since vast changes have been made in re­ cent years. This month's feature is Olson Auditorium, dedicated in May, 1969.

Clifford O . Olson Physical Education Auditorium Building was designed to provide " essen­ tial" facilities for the instructional program in physical education, in­ tramural sports, large cultural and academic events and intercolle­ giate sports, primarily basketball.

Located a block west o f Mem­ orial Gymnasium, now used prima­ rily for women's athletics, Olson Auditorium has fulfilled, even exceeded expectations. Major pub­ lic events are held several times a week.

Capacity ( 3, 500) crowds hav e been on hand for commence­ ments, musical programs, convoca­ tions and basketball games_ The PLU Board of Regents � voted unanimously to name the

new building in honor of Clifford O. Olson in recognition of his out­ standing achievements as a teach­ er, coach and athletic director at PLU from 1 92 7- 1 948, as well as his work as a business and civic leader in the community.

The central feature of the building is the auditorium. It is equipped with a full stage and is acoustically engineered. The gym­ nasium floor is covered with uni­ TURF, a new synthetic, so many different uses will not affect the surface for basketball games.

The building also includes seven classrooms, a gymnastics room, wrestling roum, multi-pur­ pose field house (surfaced with Astro-Turf), handball and squash courts, weight training room, off­ ices for teachers, ticket office, re­ ception and concession facilities, lockers, showers and sauna bath .

Olson Auditorium effectively complements Memorial Gym, the swimming pool, tennis courts, golf course, and athletic fields which comprise facilities for a complete physical education program at PLU_

Alumni Donate Microfilm Equipment to PL U

Dear Dr. Wiegman: This is j ust a very short note to tell you how much I appreciate the new SCENE magazine. Although "Reflections" will be missed, this is a better, more economical, more practical way of disseminating news. I hope the issues are long and frequent. PLU needs to main· t.ain continual contact with its al· urnni.

Sincerely, Paul Francis Benson

('67)

{Edi to r's note: SCENE replaces th e alumni section of "Reflec­ tions" magazine, not the e n tire publication. The fall issue of "Re­ flections" will be in your homes later thit.· month . It will continue to deal with u 1liversity news and issues.

Due to the limited number of issues publislJed and the time needed fvr mechanics of publica­ tion, the alu mni board felt "Re­ flections" was not entirely meeting alumni needs and tha t a more freq uen t more timely pu blication . was n eeded .

We're hoping SCENE meets fhat need. We're looking forward to your suggestions on how we can make it even better.}

Two items of microfilming equipment have been purchased for Pacific Lutheran U niversity by the PLU Alumni Association.

Recently a pproved by the association's awards committee, the $ 2 , 300 purchase will affect every student that has ever attended PLU , according to registrar Charles Nelson. Nelson made the joint request proposal along with Dr. Kenneth Johnston, dean of the School of Education.

The equipment, already in use, is available to all departments of the university. I t is of particular value, however, to the Registrar's office as it will insure security of documents by providing dupli· cate copies of student records for storage off-cam· pus. All inactive files are microfilmed for this pur· pose.

"The only thing students have to show for .the time and money they spend at PLU is their perma· nent academic record , " i\'elson said . "It is our re­ sponsibility to mamtain them efficiently and safe­ ly, and with the microfilm equipment we can do tha1 . " Films o f all current grade runs will also be made, he noted.

There are also obvious advantages in savings of time, space and costs according to the registrar.

The School of Education will initially use the equipment in the placement office, which is rapid­ ly running out of available space . The placement function, directed by John H anson ('62), is of pa ticular importance to alumni , especially recent gradua es.

The first piece of equipment is a planetary ni­ crofilm camera, which allows fol' filming of any document, including book or thesis pages. The Alumni Association alSO purchased a microfilm j acket filler, which load. 16 0101 microfilm inlo jackets, each one of which holds 72 documents.

"This ay we can put all documents from one stu­ dent's file in one microfilm j acket, " Nelson ex­ plained.

as he is graduating in January. He is the son of Rev. and Mrs. Armin H. Reitz '44, of Gladstone, Ore . , a n d i s majoring in music.

Miss Bender, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jerome Bender '53 (Dorothy Martenson '50) is a French major from Rogue River, Ore. Miss BUl'wash is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Stephen W. Bur­ wash (Carolyn Kjelstad ' 53), of Tacoma .

Miss Johnson is a nursing stu­ dent from Gresham, Ore., and is the daughter of Rev . and Mrs. Rudolph B . Johnson '48 (Ruth Towe '47). Gulhaugen, from Clark­ ston, Wash. , is the son of Rev . a nd Mrs. Martin Gulhaugen '48 (Norene Skilbred '48).

Swanson, a chemistry major, is from Mt. Vernon, Wash. , and is the son of Rev. an d Mrs. Roland Swan­ son ' 3 5 .

The university already owns a microfilm reader.

A future purchase of a microfilm reader-printer, which would allow reactivation to printed copy, is planned. This would give the university a complete microfilm capability and substantial cost savings in the years to come.

Alunlni Funds Help Build Business School Library The Harvard B usiness School's recently publish d "core bibliogra­ phy" is the highly-rated source being u ed by the Pacific Lutheran U niversity School of Business Administration in its efforts to build a truly distinguished busi­ ness reference collection in the Mortvedt Library.

That project received a substan­ tial boost this fall ith the contri­ bution of $ 1 ,000 by the PLU Alum­ ni Association upon the approval of the awards committee.

According to Dr. Gundar King, dean of the School of B usiness Administration, PLU will have obtained virtually all of the post1 960 titles still in print included on the list by the end of the current academic ·year.

In addition, the School of Busi­ ness is making selected purchases from the pre- 1 960 H arvard list.

"We are completing a major buildup in our reference resources this year, " Dr. King said. "The project really began to make head­ way in 1 967-68. "

He expressed his gratitude for the Alumni Association's assist­ ance during the past two years.

"We appreciate both the spirit and substance of this support," he add­ ed. "As we thank you for vour generosity, we are aiso pleased to note that the Harvard Core Collec­ tion will be of significant help to students in other fields of study, such as economics, sociology and psychology . " A k y to the success of the pro­ ject was the timeliness of Dr. King's acquisition of hard-to-find titles.

The PLU collection, which has always been comprised of carefully selected references, was consi­ dered " thin" in spots. "It now has breadth and depth , " King ob­ serve d .

Alumni Must Play

President, Pacific Lutll eran University

A ccelerated Role In Future of Higher Ed cation

By Mal Solne 1971 National An nu al Fund Chairman

"Commi tmen t . . . NOW . " as illus­ trated on the front page of this issue of SCENE , h a s been chosen a s the theme for the Ilnl Alumni Annual FUlld Drive, echoing the universi­ 'Year of Commitment . " ty'S , T e them e was chosen espe­ cially to emphasize the sense of urgency that the entire . alumni bO�i1'd feels about the accelerated role that alumni must play in the future of Chri stian higher education as exemplified by PLU . en alums make up this year� annual fund drive committee.

Headed again by M alcolm Soine, the committee includes Dr. Roy Vlrak , Edroy Woldseth , Dr. Russ Christensen, James Feek, James Widst een Richard Longren, W ayne Saverud. Jim K i ttilsby, and Edgar Larson .

A goal of $60,000 has been set to be raised between Dec. 1 , 1970 and July 3 1 , 1971. This r epresents a n increase of 2 0 per cent over the IlnO drive.

The front page of this we It's issue illustrates alS{) how some of the money raised I n past drives has p osi tively influenced the alumni board 's continuing goal of enri ching the academic enrollment of Pacific Lutheran U niversi ty . All monies senl to U'le U niversity through Ole Annual Fund go directly to PLU . A formula voted on by your Alumni Board dir cts how the money is to be divided among tile various pro­ grams that th e alumni board has end rsed . The major portion, $37,000 n 1970, each year. goes as an lmrestricted gift 10 the U niversity.

The next biggest portion goes for alumni scholarships to children of alums. A fixed percentage goes to alumni endowment for th.' Univer­ sity, and the balance is used for special project gifts upon requt'st from departments on campus for necessary items that could not be included in the university budget.

During the first week of De­ cember, letters from the annual fund committee will be going out to all alums. I ncluded with the letter will be a newly designed pledge

card thaI, encourages lhe alum to indicate how much he wishes to pledge, and when he would like to pay it , with special emphasis on montbly giving. A second card will allow the alum to pay his pledge with his bank card and if he so choses he may elect to have a fixed amount charged each month to his bank card.

The pledge card also asks for the name of the alum's employer, because many firms match gifts of employees to higher education and often the alum is either not aware or it is necessary for the university to notify the employer that a gift from an alum has been received so that the matching money can be obtained.

Pacific Lutheran U niversity is one of more than 1 ,400 colleges and universities with established annual alumni funds. So you are not the only alumnus beIng asked to give.

Last year along, nearly lWo million alumni gave some $332 million to their alma maters - a highly sig­ nificant IIlvestmenl i n hi gher edu­ cation.

Aiumni funds ( while some col· leges have had them for seven dec­ ades. most have been tarted in the last twenty years ) are fast increas­ ing in size, amount, and Influence.

Thus, the letter you will be get­ ting from me as national fund chairman for 1971 is one of the most importan t - both to you and to PLU - that you wUI receive this year .

Five Reasons For Supporting YOW" Alumni Fund You see, your participation in your alumni fund is vital to your alma mater. There are at least five reasons why: First, the mere sending of your gift - regardless of its size - is important. You help swell the num­ ber of participa nts. And num bers are important. Statistics about your alumni fund are published national­ ly each year and read by founda­ tions, corporation�, and other po-

tential donors. Many of these gauge their own gifts by the extent of alumni support. The vitality of PLU is j udged by the numbers of alumni who care enough to support it.

Second , by contributing to the fund, you are signlfying the import­ ance of higher education. Colleges and universities have traditionaliy - and must continue to be strongholds for independent think­ ing ; for tbe broad, rational perspec­ tive; for the creative, disciplined mind ; and for thought and action to help humanity gain and maintain freedom, order, and justice. Col­ leges are under attack today by special interest groups, by extre­ mis s, by those desiring disorder. and by u nscrupulous persons, trying to gain control for their own ends. Vigorous alwnni support ena­ bles colleges to maintain their inde­ pendence and strength.

Third, by giving to your alu mni fund. you are casting a vote for your alma mater. I n the last ten years, some colleges have had to close or be taken over by the state, or merge with other institutions.

Alumni support helps keep PLU alive and significant.

Fourth, by sending in your alumni fund gift, you are helping PLU build for the future. Past gen­ erations of alumni and friends helped provide tile facili ties you used. Your tuition by itself paid only a portion of tne actual nost.

You have a responsibility to help build and strengthen the facilities for education of present and fllture genera tions.

And, fifth, by giving to the alumni fWld, you are contributing unrestricted funds for current oper­ ations - the kind of money needed most - funds which help pay and raise facuIty salaries , provide aid to deserving students, buy library books, pay the bills and help the college stay in the black.

When you receive your letter in December, we ask you to react positively and with the sense of urgency that is signified by "Com­ mitment . . . N ow " .

This year your University has initiated a new tradition dubbed the P resident's Breakfast which I Ihink rrught be of interest to you. Each week Vice President for Student Affairs Dan Leasure and I meet for breakfast with ten students selected at random from the student body.

At President's Breakfast we talk about things that students want to talk about . Sometimes it's last week 's football game, sometimes it's campus problems, and other times we discuss personal concerns ranging from religion to politics. I wish each of you could join me for one of these breakfasts. I f you could YOIl might be surprised at what you'd find.

In certain respects, students here are not radically different than they were 20 years ago. It is true that we now attract students from a much wider geographical area rep­ resenting more cultural and ethnic heritages than ever before. Stu­ dents represent 38 states and 15 na­ tions.

It is also true that we are no longer eXClusively Lutheran. Ap­ proximately 63 per cent of our stu­ dents claim Lutheran affiliation while the remainder are P rotestant, Roman Catholic or do not indicate religi ous preference.

At the same time, despite the changes growth brings, our Scandi­ navian-Lutheran heritage holds dommant sway in campus life. Stu­ dents today grapple with many of the same religious and social ques­ tions that have plagued each stu·· dent generation : What to believe?

What to think? What to do with one's l ife?

On the other hand, some things are not as they once were. I went to school during' the relatively serene E isenhower years when Ike's golf score was front page news. Our shirts were buttoned down and our minds were buttoned lip. Colleges and uniVersities of the SO's earned the label of ivory towers.

From where I sit at President's Breakfast, I find the opposite tend­ ency among students today. They want to knock down the walls sepa­ rating them from their community and they look to the University as a way of serving their fellow man as well as getting an education.

Students care what happens to the Puyallup I ndians and their struggle over treaty rights. Stu­ dents care what happens in the downtown Tacoma ghetto area. Not tens, but hundreds of PLU students give freely of their time each week to tutor disadvan taged youngsters or help crippled children learn to swim.

•

Students are more politically alert. They scrutimze local and ns ­ tional leaders with the same intens­ ity with which a starving man eyes a loaf of bread. And. like Santa Claus, they have a list of who has been good or bad. A number o[ poli­ ticians may get lumps of coal in their Christmas stockings this year.

Students are more issue-orient­ ed. The W ashington state ballot this year included referendums on the 19-year-old vote, a proposed ecolog­ ical deposit on beverage containers, tax reform and abort ion. Students held symposiums on all these issues and, more important, they carried their beliefs t.o the doorsteps of Tacoma citizens with campaign lit­ erature. Many were very disap­ pointed at the results of the elec­ tion, but they'll be back .

•

Religious life on campus is a central concern. Students seek to establish a working relationship with God and their fellow men .

They articulate their failh in the worth and dignity of every person.

I t ' s bard to judge religi ous life by traditianal barometers like chapel attendance, though chapel attendance is good. Christianity at PLU i s as diverse as its students. and represents a deep, personal commitment for many, a commit­ ment tbat lives in their actIOns.

I have confidence in PLU stu­ dents. If you could join me in work­ ing with them each day. I 'm sure vou would conclude that thev are indeed a remarkable group. ' Since you can 't, let me offer an­ other 9I.!ggestion . NeXt time you 're on campus, take a student to break­ fast. Or to lunch or just to coffee.

Talk to him and listen to what he has to say. I t might be a n education for you both, and isn't that what PLU is all about'?

Crew Defeats Stanford, OSU

Netv Faces Greet Lundgaard As Cage Season Looms Soon The old adage, "You can ' t tell the players without a program , " has never had greater ap plication than to the situation facing PLU basketball coach Gene Lundgaard .

With oniy two regulars returning from last year's second place fin­ isher in the Northwest Conference, plus two other lettermen, the per- formance of transfers and frosh will tell the tale in this, Lund­ gaard 's 1 3 th seaso n .

With new assistant coach J on Malmin ( ' 64) on hand, the Lutes opened drills with 24 hopefuls reporti ng. Malmin is a former Lute player under Lundgaard and is now on the faculty at Washington High School in Parkland. H e will handle the JV squad.

Lundgaard, with a career coach­ ing mark of 2 1 0- 1 1 1, could on paper project a front line averag­ ing (j-8, wIth two rab bits in the backc ourt, but the starting five is yet t be selected.

Ake Palm, 6 - 8 ju nior from Vas­ ter s, Sweden, will shoulder the scoring load. All-con ference honor­ able mention last year, he aver­ age d 1 4 . 8 points per game . Team Captai n Lyle McI ntosh, a 6-0 jun­ ior, will lend stability to the back­ court. Other letter winners, 6-5 .enior G reg Freitag and Bruce W illi', 6-3, a j unior, will see plenty of action. " We should minimize the fact that only two lettermen are return­ ing in the backcourt, since JC transfers Tom Patnode and D o n Martonik ere working out with us throughout the second half of last season, though ineligible for com­ petition. Thus they know my sys­ tem and I know their capabilities, " Lu ndga ard stated .

Pa tnod and M artonik join Mc­ I nto h and Willis in the battle for the starting spots.

Freshman prospects are Neal And rsen (6- 1 , Los Altos, Calif . ) , Bruce Jones (6-0, G oldendale), Randy L eland ( 5- 1 0, I ngraham­ S attle ), and D ic k Dary ( 5- 1 1 , Puy ­ allupJ. Andersen is the brother of former Lute star M ark Andersen ('67).. while Leeland had two broth­ ers, D o ug ( ' 67) and Greg, who toiled on the Lute maples.

Missing is letter man John Ran­ kin , who is red -shirting this year in order to participate in a biology interim field trip to the Marshall Islands.

Besides Palm and Freitag, Lund­ gaard's big men include 6-8 D e nnis Phillips, sopbomore transfer from Montana State ; 6-7 Roger Wiley, I st year's JV ce nter ; 6-4 Mike Wil­ lis, Green River Community C ol­ lege transfer ; 6 - 5 junior T erry Finseth, another JV graduate ; and Olympic JC transfer Greg Larson, 6-3.

I n Norse mythology, Odin, the god of war and god of wisdom, rode an eight-legged horse, Sleip­ nir, the Glider, who, as the story goes, ran like a storm wind to dis­ tant battlefields on earth.

Recently modern-day Norseman from Pacific Lutheran U niversity rowed Sleipne - and it was n � myth - but rather the Lutes' sleek eight-man shell whlCh glided to a first place finish in the Kla­ math Falls Invitational Regatta, defeating S tanford and Oregon State in heavyweight competition.

In the season opener the varsity eight was bolstered by four veter­ ans from the four man-with-cox crew which won the West Coast Sprint Race and finished third in the IRA Regatta at Lake Onon­ dage, N . Y . The Klamath Falls race was limited to eight-man events .

Covering the 1 500 meter course in a time of 5: 0 1 , a scant one sec­ ond ahead of Stanford, cox Ralph Neils, stroke Malcolm Klug, NO. 7 C onrad H u nziker and No. 6 Jim Putler, from PLU's nationally rec­ ognized four, were joined by Rick Landvatter, Leo Hilsinger, Roger Evenson, Lee Dawson, and Tim Brueckner.

Oregon State was a distant third with a time of 5: 1 5 .

Lute Gridders Close �70 Season With 6-3 Record Pacific Lutherari's gridiron ex­ press was sidetracked temporarily early in the season. But in the sea­ son's fifth game they were back on the winning track, and the momen­ tum they built carried them to four straight victories and a 6-3 season record .

After two easy wins over W hit­ worth and W estern Washington State College early in the fall, the Knights saw their Northwest C on­ ference title hopes dimmed after a 1 6 - 1 3 loss to Linfield . It wasn't certain at the time, but Steve Dav­ is' field goal with four seconds left in the contest effectively clinched the title for the Wildcats as they rolled on to an undefeated season and national ranking.

The L utes had played "catch­ up" the entire game, tying the game finally in the last two min­ utes. But a costly defensive let­ down put the Wildcais ll1 field goal range before the game was over.

Senior halfback Dave Halstead, playing for the final time against his old high school coach Ad Rutschman, had his third straight 1 00-yard plus game, finishing ith 1 2 3 yards. Halstead hails from Hillsboro, Ore. The following week PLU suc­ cumbed to the U niversity of Puget Sound " hex " for the fifth straight year, 24-7 . It meant this year 's sen­ iors must graduate without a win over their crosstown archrival s .

PLU took an early 7 - 0 lead o n G ary H ammer's on e-yard plunge, but a 17 -point UPS blitz before halftime iced the contest. Fumbles helped spell the Lutes' downfall.

The game ' s most unusuai inci­ dent however, saw Lute All­ A m �rican candidate Ross Boice, a Custer, Wash . . senior, cha 'e Log­ ger quarterbac k Bob Cason from the Lute 28 to the UPS 25 f0r a 45yard loss and a n unbelievable

fourth down and 78 yards to go situation.

The Lutes took out their frustra­ tions on P acific U niversity the fol­ lowing weekend, piling up 24 sec­ ond quarter points enroute to a 4514 win. The Boxers keyed on PLU 's vaunted running backs, Halstead and Tacoma's Hammer and Dan Pritchard, effectively stopping the running attack. B ut in the process they left their second­ ary wide open. The Lu tes riddled the open spaces with 19 aerial completions for 209 yards and four TD's.

D ave Anderson, C onnell, Wash . , sophomore , t h e Lutes' right defen­ sive end, spent the afternoon in the Boxer backfield, racking up eight tackles, four for 38 yards in Boxer losses, hurrying the passer constantly and causing several of the Lutes' six pass interceptions.

Alumni on hand for Homecom­ ing this year spent a pleasant after­ noon at Franklin-Pierce Stadium as PLU avenged last year's 45-23 defeat at the hands of Whitman College with a 37-9 victory of their own. All 37 points were scored in the first half, 23 in the first quart­ er. Scoring was mixed. Halstead and sophomore Pritchard scored on short bursts ; j unior quarter­ back Jim Hadland of Tacoma, re­ serve halfback D on McPherson, Tacoma sophomore, and end Hans Lindstrom, a senior from Puyallup, hit on long scampers.

Defensive halfback Jack Irion, H quiam, Wash . , senior, broke the school pass interce ption mark held

by D oug Jansen ( ' 70) by grabbing his 1 9th pass .

Willamette was the Lutes' fifth victim of the season , 37-7. Again scoring came in bunches ; 1 6 in the second quarter, 21 in the fourth.

The College of Idaho C oyotes came close to upsetting the Lutes

in Caldwell. N otorious as a " bad luck" town for visiting gridders (PLU had never won there), C ald­ well maintained the "jinx" for three quarters. At that point the C oyotes led 2 1 - 1 4 . But a field goal

by Tacoma senior Ed McGrath late in the third stanza and two final quarter touchdowns gave the Knights their sixth wi n.

PLU roamed all over the field in the second half. Halstead broke the PLU season rushing record formerly held by John Fromm ( ' 58), deciSively with 1 48 yards and a TD . P ritchard ra mbled for 142 yards and three touchdowns, and Hammer picked up 96 yards in only seven carries .

The season ended on a disap­ pointing note, however, as the Lutes were upset by the Lewis and C lark Pioneers 34-20.

PLU 's ground offense rambled, as usual, but the Pioneer aerial game was dominant in this game. The score was 1 4 - 1 4 at the half.

The loss dropped PLU into a tie with Lewis and Clark for second place in the Northwest Confer­ ence .

80 Ahllnni Attend Portland Gathering

Approximately 80 alumni, their families and parents of PLU students attended an alumni gath­ ering in Portland Nov. 14 immedi­ ately followin g the PLU-Lewis and Clark football game.

The g athering was held in the faculty dining room o n the Lewis and Clark campus.

Jan Morsman, 1969 Lucia Bride

Lucia Bride Festival To Usher In PLU Christmas Season Pacific Lutheran University will plunge into the Christmas spirit Dec. 4 with its 23rd annual Lucia .

Bride Festival and the lighting of a 1 1 0-foot tree on camJi.>us.

The Lucia Bride festivities will begin at 8 p . m . in East 'old Audito­ rium a nd be followed by the tree lig ting and a rece tion in the C " ' vers ity Cent r Seve nteen candidates are v. ' ng for the title this year Bill Christensen , studen body president, will place a seven-cdndle crown on the head of the girl se­ lected by students to reign over the festivaL A pr -Christmas tradi­ tion of Swedish origin, the Luc 'a Bride Festival i sponsored by Spurs, a nati onal sophomore wom­ en's honorary .

The organization and the school's May Festival Dancers will perform Sca ndinavian folk dances and the Norsk Klubb will sing Christmas carols.

The C hristmas s ory will be read, as well the legend of Lucia, the story of a C hristian girl who was martyred during the reign of Roman emperor Diodetian .

The legend says Lucia wa born to rich parents who had contracted her to marry a wealthy pagan, al­ though she had vowed to dedicate her life to God. She refused her suitor's hand, and he brought her to trial, accus­ ing her of being a Christian. She was found guilty and sentenced to be burned at the stake. But the flames did not harm Lucia, and her betrothed had to thrust a sword into her heart to kill her.

The story of her death was later brought to Sweden where the Christianized Vikings learned of the tale. They imagined her a shining figure, crowned by a saintly halo of light.

It is believed the legend had gr at appeal to the Swedes because the anniversary of Lucia's martyr­ dom coincideci rou ghly with the beginning of winter and longer days. Thus, due to their desire f r a midwmter f 'tival , the event became part of their Christmas.

And t hrough the years the 01>­ servanc has gam ct popularity, but not only among Swedish­ Americans. 1 t has been shared by Scandinavians and persons of many other nationalities.

Four Years Later

Alumni Foresi ght Apparent in Modern PLU Library Facility PLU alumni undertook an awe­ some project four years ago. In by far the most ambitious fund·rais­ mg effort in th e history of the a nearly Associa ion, Alumni quart r of a million dollars were pledged to the Robert A. L. M ort­ vedt Library fund.

The goai of that drive is being realized, and so i� the un iversit s intent when the lIbrary was b UIlt. The facility, u nder the supervision of Frank Haley . librarian, has in· creased its store of material, as well as services, by almost 50 per cent.

In addition to the more than 1 30 , 000 volumes available. the li­ brary has recently become an asso­ ciate member of the Center for Research Libraries in Chicago, which gives PLU ready access to more than 2 V2 million volu mes, countless millions of feet of micro­ film and other recorded data, and

¥,'

doctoral dissertations, academic and business reports from all over the world.

Through the Library of Con­ gress, British Museum and Asso­ ciation of Northwest Libraries, the PLU facility maintains " biblio­ graphic control" over more than 30 million volumes.

Unlike many libraries that ref­ use to pmt with a singl e volume, Haley' s staff weeds out obsolete and discredited titles. The books that remam on the shelves are con­ sidered th e best available to sup­ port the graduate and und ergradu­ ate curriculums.

Supplementing data available on the printed page are recorded media and visual aids.

The building's overall design provides for long-term develop­ ment of not only the audio-visual commun ications, but the electronic programming to operate them.

Microiilm readers are among the most modern ava l ablE!.

Solons To Study 'State Aid To Private Colle g e Students' Plan The Washington Council on Higher Education has recommend­ ed state aid for students at private olleges and universities - in the f 1.n1 of grants of from $ 100 to $300 per stu dent per year.

The proposal and other recom­ meu dation at th c unci!, a state agency which ov e rs ee� higher e u­ cation po ic ie ere sent to Gov. OM Evans III mid · N vember and are to be laken up by the 1 9 7 1 ses­ sion of the state legisla ture in 01 mp ia The aid to students would help l leviate financial difficulties rang­ ing from mild to s vere at most of the state ' s 10 pri ate schools of higher learning by stimulating enrollment. Prospects for approval ,

.

of the aid program are optimistic despite the state's own financial crisis_ The 10 private schools are: G nza�a , eattl e University, University in Spokane, Pacific Lutheran University and Luiversi­ ty of Puget Sound i n Tacoma, 81 .

M artin' College in Olympia . 'eat­ tle Pacific Coli ge, Fort \ right C llege and Wh itworth College in S pokane, Whitm n College in Wal­ la W alia and Walla Walla College in College Place.

The council, after an intensive study of the state's private hIgher schools, also recommended direct state aid for these schools' health care programs and changes in t h e state constitution t o remove re-

strictio ns on aid to church-related institutions.

The study concluded that pri· vate higher education i an impor­ tant asset to the state. The schools' combin operating bu dgets total more than $ 2 8 million a year and their co mbine d assets are more than $ 03 million. The total eco­ nomic impact on the state was es i ­ mat a t more than $28 million a year.

The council estimated private schools co uld absorb 6,641 full ­ time stu dents with existing facili · ties.

The Legislature also will consi­ der raising tuition at the state's public colleges and universities, a move which would narrow the gap

between what private and public school students must pay .

A modest stu ent grant could w rk as an incentive 0 shift stu­ dents from publi to private insti­ tutions, according t James Fur­ man, executiv director of the state H i g her Edu _ ation Council.

W hitman and Walla Walla have substantial endowments to bolster their fin an c i a l s curily. PLU and UPS have so tar experienced be.althy enrollmen t in creas to help offs t increased costs .

At PLU . a 1 n g - range devel p­ IDE-nt p lan and good management have he ped keep the university on a sound financial footing, accord­ ing to President Eugene Wiegman.

In spite of these assets, the fu­ ture could bring some financial hardship without additional reve­ nue sources, he indicated. Six of the state's private colleges are al­ ready in difficulty because of static or declining enrollments, due in part to continued increases in stu­ dent costs.

The financial picture is chang­ ing. About 15 years ago, 92 per cent of the operating budgets of private colleges and u niversities statewide were paid by tuition.

Today, in spite of tuition increases, that figure is only 82 per c nt, and the dollar is becoming heaper thr ugh inflation_ The stat aid to students pr pos­ al to be considered by the leglsla­ ture would be a maj r benefit, Wiegman believes. " I t wo d stim­ ulate enrollment by defrayin g stu­ d ent costs," he said_ He also urged an active mt rest on t he p art of friends a d " l umni in unlve rsi ty development pro­ gram�" .

The Alumni ASSOCIation has collection of all known begun books, p amphlets and separate ar­ ticles that have been written by our alums or former faculty mem­ bers. If you know of any titles that would aid this collection, let us know. Better yet, send us a copy if you h ave one.

E ducation in the '70's at PLU State aid could help relieve increasing cost burden on students.

Alumni Director Applications Urg ed S oon The alumni director selection committee is cur rently active in the followup and screening of applications which have been received, according to selection committee chairman Dr. Ray T� biason.

The five member 'Committee is considering all applicants and is making conta t with all individu­ als who have been recommended as possible applicants.

"The committee will be meet­ ing tb rough early February and would en ourage all persons in­ terested in applying or recom­ mending individuals to do so by Jan. 31 if po sible, " Tobiason said. "We want to give full con­ sideration to t-'Veryone interested, but do need to proceed toward the final st'le-ction stage."

Th e committee has accepted the general criteria established by the Alumni Board that individ-

uals h ave a commitment to Christ, a belief in the value of Christian higher education, ad­ ministrative and public relations skilJs and experience, and a knowledge of the operations of a university community.

Th e director will work in pr� gram and chapter development and will assist in development and fund work with the Alumni As oclation.

Both segments were growing rapidly and the demand was ever increasing. The future was bright; the goals, cleB!" In 1952, figures provided by the US 0 fice of Education disclosed that there were m�re students enrolled In public rather than private schools. By 1969, 70 per cent of the nation's students, seeking lugher educational serv­ ices, were in the public sector.

PressurE of InOatJoD P rivate higher education began to find itself n th competition freeze with limited resources compared to limitless reSOurces; the pressure of in flation and increased ost found the private sector in deep finanCial trouble. ucation wi h bulging enrollments, few controls and declining services.

It also found publ c higher Literal1y iugher education in both sectors found themselves in a genui ne predicament. .

Many states saw the dilemma approaching and moved rapidly to coordinate the problems of both educatIOn­ al sectors.

Through the efforts of enlightened Washington stale officials, a Council on Higher Education was formed to begin coordinating public and private higher educational problems. . . . .

The Council, ailer an intensive study of these educational problems an� laking mto consideratIOn �ashmg­ are: proposals These Legislature.

1971 the lo ng proposals far-reachi four developed ton's economic situation, allow every s udent in private colleges from $100 to 300 �r an( 1 ) Initiation of a state grant p rogram num : also tbe possibility of st ate su sidizal iol1 for nursing nd l a w programs and the recommended changmg of the state constitution to conform to the federal constitution in the area of financi al as istonce.

(3) Tuitinn increase in publiC' universities t.o hel p offset the student subsidy. ( 4 ) Tuit ion increase to the cost figure fol' out-of-state students.

Equall2ation ObviOUsly from the above, you can see thai the council is attempting to equalize cost and encourage greater utilizatIon of space and fac I ties in all of W ashington's educational institutions.

Private �oileges have 6,641 opt:l lings which can be filled by qualified stud�nts at less cost to the t axpayer . than providing the same number of addition al seat s in public colleges and UlUverslties. .

The legislative budget reports indicate an average state subSIdy per-student for operatIOnal cost around $1,500 for undergraduate stUdents in public universities. . .

The private colleges currently have an enrollment figure of approximately 1:3,000 W . shingto� re�ldent stu­ um .. blelll?l per nulllOn $� axpayer cost t the would it state. this in nonexistent were education private If dents. . .

The state through this grant program and other recommendatiOns IS at� empting 0 create a mlgr.atior. 0 these 6 64 1 vacancies for stUdents who otherwise could not afford to attend pnvate schools. It I S a practical and sensibl� ,program because it preserves dualism in higher education, maintains quality while saving the taxpayer millions of dollars.

We. as aJumru, friends of private higher education and taxpayer$, should vholebeartedly endorse lhe Coun ' 1 on Higher Educaiion's recommendations to the 1971 State Legisiatute.

By Mal Solne 1971 National Annual Fund ChaIrman Early response to our 1971 Al­ rive is surprising and exclli ng. We raised our goal for lY71 by 20 per cent and in Decem­ ber " ent out a battery of letters to some 8,000 alums. These letters were in four general categories : one style of letter to 1 970 grads, ho have not yet one to alums made a contribution to the annual fund in the pas t drives. one to t hose who contIibuted in 1 96B and / o r 196 9 bu t failed to register contribution for 1970, and then of a separate letter to 1 970 COUTS support s .

Response has been surprisingly positive and the dollars are exeeding the 20 per c nt increase which we requested. E eryone of the aforementioned groups seem to be getting into the splnt of the urgency the Alumni Board feels about j • 1971 theme, "Commit­ me. nt • NOW .

"l OW is a time of extreme con­ Oict in our country, in our world.

Everywhere, it seems, old values are being looked at more closely -

and frequently more ynically than ever before. The din of cl ash between attackers and defenders of values is becOming a roar. It's omi.ng from government, busi­ ness, consumers, the Church. Cer­ tainly education is in the thick of it.

State's Private Colle ges Face Dollar Dilemma B y Dr, E u gen e Wiegman President , Pacific Lutbernn Univenity

As a result of the deteriorating economic situation, Washington's colleges and universities, both pub­ lic and private, are in trouble.

Despite tuition hikes, most institu­ tions are finding it difficult to make ends meet. As parents, tax­ payers, and educators, it is time we became genuinely concerned, not just with Pacific Lutheran, but with the total educational crisis.

The current recession, accom­ panied by unabated inflation, has placed heavy demands upon the shrinking educational dollar. This comes at a time when education is called upon to introduce new pro­ grams and meet new challenges ; it comes at a time when higher edu­ cation is looked upon with suspi­ cion by many legislators and alum­ ni : and it comes at a time when America needs her universities most.

Each student who comes to PLU makes a commitment, not just in erms of acaderni expecta­ Han, but also a commitment to pay those extra dollars for the type of

dents need your help. Commit to our Commitment ! " Sincerely, 1971 Annual Fund Committee Mal Soine '52, chairman Russ Christensen '61 James Feek '66 Jim Kittilsby '60 Edgar Larson '57 Richard Londgren '59 Wayne Saverud '67 Roy Virak '52 Jim Widsteen '69 Edroy Woldseth '47

individual education he will receive at a Christ-centered university.

During the past year we have tried 0 help our students fulfill this commi tment by administering over $1 ,257.000 In finanCial support. includi ng scholarship, grants, stu­ dent work programs and federal programs such as National De­ fens e Loans, Educational Oppor­ tunity Grants, and Guaranteed Loans. Compared to other institu­ tions, our ai d pr gram is excellent.

At PLU a l ong-range develop­ ment plan and gOQd fiscal manage­ ment have kept the university on sound financial footing. Our situa­ tion was bolstered this year by an W1expected increase in enrollment of 10 per cent, which helps off-set rising costs. Yet this year, we mus still antici pal a modest tui­ tion ncrease of six per cent.

In sQme respects, PLU can ollsider herself lucky. A W ashing­ ton Council on Higher Education study released in tile closing weeks of 1970 shows six of the states 10 accredited private institutions as having "grave" financial trouble.

P ublic universiti es are consjdering a tuition hike of between 10 and 20 per cent. Clearly, public institu­ tions, which are ex periencing fin­ ancial difficulties of their own, have reached the saturation poin as far as student population is con­ would be hard They cerned. pressed to absorb additional stu­ dents should one or more private institutions close their doors.

Because of this crisis, we must increaSingly corne to view higher education as an interrel ated system, contributin g collectively to the deveiopment of our greatest asset. the hwnan resource. Private

educal on has long played a signifi­ cant role in hal1dlin� the enroll­ ment explosion. Now It is time for he state to recogni7.e Ule importance of this rol l and come to t he assistance of her private colleges.

As President of Washington Friends for Hi�her Education, a voluntary aSSOCiation of Washing· ton's private insti tutions of higher education, I have corne to realize the importance that private ed uca­ tion pia s in the total educational system of the S tate. For that rea­ son. I urge you to l e nd your influ­ ence and support to the follOwing proposal of the Wa shington Council on Higher Education : state aid for in-state students at private col­ leges and universities in the form of $100 to S300 grants per student per year. ver 13,000 state residents are currently enrolled at private insti­ tution", At $100 per resident stu­ dent , the aid program would cost year. But the state $1.3 nullion were 1110se stUdents to at tend pub­ lic schools, the co t to state tax­ 'Payers would approach $2() minion a year This proposal is intended to stimulate enrollment in Our private 'nstitutions, thereby alleviating the bUilding pressure on public schools and securing the finanl!i al future of our private colleges. It is tme that this program reqU1res an invest.. ment by the state. But in the long mn, the return will be positive, both financially, and in the sense that we are in ring the diversity of higher edueation in Washington.

Such an investment in the fu­ ture of our young people is a small price to pay, particularly when it results in a savi ngs for us all.

Positive Action On Issues Viewed As Alternative To Violence At PLU " PLU i s stodgy, old fashioned pathetic," a Tacoma area and woman declared candidly in the p resence of a Pacific Lutheran U m ve rsity staff m mber two years ago " 1 wouldn 't want my children to go there,' she added.

Last ay, 18 months after the cOllversati n, the staff mem er r cei ve d a phone call from the woman .. 've changed my mind," she a mitted. "I've been reading abou your activities. What you 're doing is real ly wonderful."

H f caU came shortly after PLU had conducted a National Crisis FOlUm in the wake of the Cambo­ dian intervention and the tragedy at Kent State University.

The two events had triggered campus violence nationwide. At PLU the fuse was dangerously short . Denise Holt, a PLU j unior, reflected later, " The violence seemed silly. I couldn't see what it accomplished. But deep down I wanted to j oin i n . " Like many others, s h e felt fn htened and confused. omething kept the lId from blowing at PLU . The crisis forum, a three-day rap session among stu­ dents, faculty pohtkal leaders and businessmen , helped . But there was probably something else, a feelmg on t he p rt of th t ldents that . omeone was IlStenin . som on did car The feeling has been nUlturcd on campus in a vari�t} of way:; Most students can atLest to a close rapport with faculty members and administrator , Here we get to know our p i 0fesson; ; we even visit in their h mes, " Wal ter Binz, a .i unior, commented.

"I can get my questions an­ swered," Miss Holt added .

Students are represented and have a voice on practically every committee or group of consequen­ ce on campus, including the Board of Regents, All-U niversity Com­ mission, and the Alumni Associa­ tion.

There is off-campus involvement as well. In the case of the local woman, she had watched soci ety change. She had seen the nation's campuses change. In assessing PLU's role, however, sh e may have "

,

.

been equating disturbances with activism and concern .

Over the years, PLU students and faculty have found many non­ violent ways to contribut to com­ munity change and welfare. One. is the University St nt's S cia) Action Committee (vSSAC I. " Rather than throwing a rock at a bUIlding we can throw our hearts at something," Binz asserted. Binz is this year' s USSAC chairman.

The organization was formed more than four years ago with the belief that a Christian university h as a commitment to meeting the needs of individuals in the sur­ rounding community. Between 150 and 200 students have been active annuallv.

There are seven major USSAC projects this year, and each usually involves 20 to 30 students. One involves visitations with patients at Madigan General Hospital twice a month. The soldiers are also invit­ ed to PLU dances, concerts, plays and athletic events. " You can tell on the guys' faces how happy they are , " Binz ob­ served. "They really appreciate knowing that someone is interest­ ed in t hem."

Other stu euts participate in recreational programs at Rainier School in BUCkley, the Puyallup I ndIan R serva ti on and Western ,'tale Hospital Still ot hCI' super­ program for re ­ vise a wlffiill in tarded children at the PLU pool .

TACT, a child-tutormg progr� in the H i lltop area, and a BIg Brother·style project coordinated with the Tacoma Department of Pu blic Assistance, build one-lo-one relationships between students and disadvantaged youngsters.

The volunteer programs help provide the personal contact to augment the efforts of busy teachers and social workers.

Another campus organization, CALL (College-Affiliated Laymen's League), conducts a similar series of projects. The only real differ­ ence is that CALL stresses a great­ er religious emphasis.

Breaking a five game losing streak, the Lutes brightened Coach Gene Lundgaard's New Year with consecutive wins over Concordia and University of Alaska to enter orthwest Conference competition with a 3-7 record.

The 1 964 edition of the Lutes had a paltry 1 6 record in the early stages o f the season, but recovered to finish 1 3 1 .

The inaugural found the Lutes traveling to Vancouver, B. C. to meet Simon Fraser University, the first contest ever between the two schools. The Clansmen zipped up the Lutes' basket for eleven min­ utes early in the game, during which time the PLU five struggled ithout a field goal, as Simon Fras­ er built up a comfortable lead to roll on to victory, 80-65.

Story of Christian Dedication

Association S erves J niversity And Alumni

By Dr. Eugene WiegmWl President, Pacific Lutheran University

By Ray Tobia OD Pnls., PLtl AIIIDlDi ASSD.

"Grateful to God for Pacific Lu­ theran University, for many bless· ings, for the priceless opportuni­ ties, for the discipline of labor, for the fellowship of love, for the devo­ tion to Truth, aDd for the ideals of service which our Alma Mater has steadily held before us, we, the Alumni, fonned in an association to increase our spirit of loyalty and fraternity, and to assist in better organization and development of a continuous and effect ive program of united action in promoting the wellare of the University and i ts alwnni, do hereby establish this constitution. " This preamble to the constitu­ tion of the PLU Alwnlli Association speaks to the why, what the how of our association - that out of grate­ fulness to God for PLU, we form an association to increase loyalty

and fraternity and to develop pro­ grams that promote the welfare of both the University and its alums.

The founders of our ASSOCIA­ TION , meeting in 1901, stated the purpose a bit more succinctly: "to hold reunions in order to keep up interest in the institution among graduates, furnish books for the library, and collect money for a gymnasium and laboratory. " A great many alums over the years have accepled these concepts, however stated, and have shown their gratefulness by gIving of themselves in time and resources.

Such sharing is evident this year in a number of ways including the response to the challenge of our fund drive - over $45,000 already jn to\Vard a $60,000 goal.

It seems to me that all the con­ cept<; expressed in the preamble

1971 Annual Fund Drive

Reaches Three-Quarter Mark

By Mal Soine

1m ADQual F u nd Drive Chairman

To date, over 1,000 alums have responded with a total of approximately $45,000 to the 1971 annual alumni fund drive. This represents 75 per cent of the $60,000 goal which has been set by the Alumni Board to be raised for the support of the Universi y by July 31, 1971.

More than $13,000 was raised Sunday afternoon and evening, February 21, by some 30 callers in telethons conducted from Seattle and Tacoma. All the callers were pieased with the warmth of positive response from their fellow alums. The callers in Seattle were Don C ornell ('58), Ray Tobiason ( ' 51 ) , Roy Virak ( ' 52) , Karl Forsell ('58), Bob Running ('65), Gary Lerch ('66), Russ Christensen ( ' 6 1 ) , Jim Feek ( ' 66 ) , Ray Osterloh ( ' 57 ) , Isabel (Harstad 46) I'!ld Luther Watness (' 49 ) , and Ed L arson ( ' 57 ) .

The callers in Tacoma were Eldon Kyll{) ( '49) , Paul Larson ( ' 38 ) , Karl Olsen ('47), Carroll Kastelle ( ' 54 ) , Marv Christel ( ' 51 ) , Gary Habedank ( ' 66 ) Al Brooks ( '6 1 ) , Jim NokJeberg ( '53 ) , Leo Gaume ( ' 52), Tim Olson ( '60 ) , Ernest Harmon ( ' 49 ) , Don Douglas ( ' 59 ) , Anita (G regersen '59) and Dave Christian ( ' 59) , I ver Eliason ('55), Dick L ondgren ( ' 59), Liv Anne (Boveng '60) and Jim Kittilsby ('60l. Cal Watness ( ' 50 ) , Wayne Saverud ( ' 67) , Gerry Dryer ( ' 61 ) , and Mal Soine ( ' 52 ) .

The Alumni Association i s grateful for the time, energy and enthusi­ asm given by these callers. '

Another telethon will be conducted March 28. Hopefully by the time i t i s finished we'll be over the top on our goal. I n the meantime, I urge each of you who haven't responded to decide now to join in the support of Christian higher education and send in your gift to the Annual Fund. We know from our experience each year in these fund drives that most of the alums who havt\n't yet decided to get the annual giving habit fail to give because they feel that what tbey can afford is too little to be of any help. Let me assure you that any amount is gratefully appreciated. Many large foundations and bu 'nesses that contribute from time to time to the support of private schools use as criteria the percentage of alums that are supporting their school , as well as the total amount of alumni support, so participation of any kind il' really Important. " Commitment . . . NOW " is this year's Alumni Association theme. echoing he U niversity's "Year of Conumtment . " Our commitment will be an extension of what we've done rec ntly for the University. Last year for instance, we. among other things, expanded our scholarships for children of alumni ; presented the Department of Communication Arts with a new van truck for use with their portable TV equipment ; purchased special equip­ ment for microfIlming and filing of all school, student and alumni records; partiCipated in expansion of materials for the library including a special grant to the School of Business for library reference material ; cooperated with the students in a Dumber of special programs; and gave over $36,000 directly to the U niversity for unrestricted purposes.

deserve continuing attention, but let me focus on the section that refers to the Alumni Association and the Alum. Note the last line " . . . development of a continuous and effecti ve program of united action in promoting the welfare of the University and its alumni . " T h e phrase "and its alumni" means to me that your association must develop programs that speak to the needs not only of the U niver­ sity, but of individual alums. For this reason, we have established this year for the first time an ALUMNI SERVICES COMMIT­ TEE for the very purpose of seeing wbat the assodation can do for the alumni, as well as what the alumni can do for the associatlon. This concept implies a variety of serv­ ices which we hope to develop and make available to vou.

You have been 'hearing from us about ways in which you may serve through YOUR ASSOCIA­ TION-and you will hear more. Cer­ tainly this is high priority for all of us. We also expect to share with you, however, some ideas on how YOUR ASSOCIATION may be of personal service to you, a Pacific Lutheran University Alum.

We sometimes tend to become preoccupied with arithmetic. We anxiously study enrollment trends, budgetary figures, student-teacher ratios and other empirical indices of where we stand.

As important as these quantita­ tive guideposts are, we must guard against becoming locked in a nar­ row frame of reference built of cold statistics. Sometimes it IS necessary to step back and regain perspective on what is really im­ portant.

This issue of Scene features the sabbatical leave of Rev. Milton Nesvig, assistant to the president for church relations and publica­ tions. His articles about alumni in developing lands reveal another human dimension of our many-sid­ university structure.

Christian tradition, to a people or an area.

Yet despite their small num­ bers, their impact is infinitely great. The lives they touch, the human qualities they share, the message of hope they embody, cannot be judged by empirical standards.

Who can measure the impact of saving one child from disease'!

What is the absolute value of help­ ing to educate a nation? Is there any way of weighing the hope these men and women bring in times of war and oppression?

Their activities cannot be un­ derstood in quantitative terms.

They are measured in the hearts and minds of men. In every area, from medicine to education, from business to the work of the Church,

Deferred Gifts Help Alun1, University Alumni are beginning to realize that they can both help themselves. and their alma mater through a deferred gifts program, Ed Larson, director of estate planning and currently coordinator of alumni affairs, pointed out recently.

He noted that under the Tax Reform Act of 1969, the govern­ ment has set up certain provisions which encourage the support of higher education. These laws pro­ vide that a donor, in return for a gift to an institution of higher edu­ cation such as PLU, can receive an income for life and also obtain an income tax reduction.

There are three basic plans by which a donor can set up such an arrangement, he said. They in­ clude a pooled income fund, an annuity or a unitrust. In addition, there are other ways in which a donor can assist the university and at the same time take advantage of certain tax provisions.

The donor may decide the ulti­ mate use of the gift, according to Larson. The gift may be given in the name of the donor, in memory of a loved one or in honor of a par­ ticular person, he said.

Details on each of these plans will be sent upon request by con­ tacting Larson c I 0 Development Office, PLU, Tacoma, Wash., 98447.

Milton Nesvig, left, relates higblights of round-tbe-world study to President Eugene Wiegma n .

In the brief weeks I spent in Europe with the Choir of the West, I experienced a foretaste of what Rev. Nesvig would encounter in his around-the-world study. It is quali­ ty. not quantity, that marks the contributions Pacific Lutheran U niversity is making to interna­ tional development.

The effects of one Christian university have spread beyond the cultural and ethnic barriers of Western civilization to embrace that which we often distain as ugly or unimportant. Many of our alwn­ ni live from day to day in places most of us would not want to visit.

The experiences Rev. Nesvig relates, embroidered with personal anecdotes and observations. is the story of Christian dedication. Time and again, in Dar Salaam, in Sai­ gon, in Toyko and in villages too small for any map, former PLU stUdents are sacrificing personal safety and material comfort to minister to the poor, the hungry and the illiterate.

The nwnber of PLU graduates in a given area is not great. In some instances they stand alone as the only representatives of the

Rev. Nesvig's accounts speak elo­ quently to what a Single Christ­ centered education can mean to thousands of people.

Certainly there is much to be done. Miss Marian Halvorson, a 1968 graduate, was recently on campus to receive an honorary doctorate of humane letters for her outstanding contributions to litera­ cy in Africa. At the convocation she stated that despite all we have done to date, literacy is actually declining in some areas because of the population explosion.

The challenge posed by develop­ ing nations is reason for us to re­ double our efforts in this ungoing struggle for human liberation. Our university can play a vital role in the regeneration of Christian val­ ues wherever our graduates are found.

In the Sermon on the Mount, Christ said, "You are the salt of the earth. " PLU alumni who have chosen the difficult road of service in developing nations have sea­ soned the lives of thousands.

Theirs is the role of giving hwnan form to the Christian message of hope and salvation.

I n Saigon, Vietnam, we met ur next alums, Leif and Carol (Teslow) Dahl, ( '60) and ( ' 6 1 ) . Leif is business manager for the W orid Christian Service which has 34 agencies working among the peo­ ples of South V ietnam.

Next was Hong Kong where we' were guests of Dr. Wu, president of the Lutheran Church of China, who eceived an honorary doct rate t PLU last June.

Then It was on to Tal\van where for week of we were guest Merle an Joan Metca f, both ('57).

She pointed to the C ongo as an example. "The literacy rate there was 23 per cent in the late 1 950's, but war and internal conflicts have interrupted educational programs.

The rate in 1 967 was only 1 5 per cent," she added.

Although Dr. Haivorson is called as a missionary by the Lutheran Church in America. her services ave transcended denominational lines and her talents have been used through the years by the Na­ ronal CounCIl of C hurches and the United Nations Educational, Social Cu tural Organization and (UNESCO).

Lute 'Comeback Kids' Claim Northwest Conference Championship Had you wanted to bet that the Lutes would win the 1 9 7 1 North­ west C onference championship, you could hav had long odds in January.

The team 's early season record as a dismal 1 -7 . The only two returning starters, captain Lyle McIntosh and cen er A -e Palm were laid up with lnJuri s.

Conference title chances looked even immer fter the first week of t he loop season. The Lutes took cou p l e of easy victories from Whitman, 86-74, and College of I daho, 98-70, at home, but the fol­ lowing weekend they lost two in regon to co-favorites Lewis and Clark. 92·80, and Willamette, 7668, to even their league mark at 22 In 1970 they dropped two league games all season and that was too many.

At this point PLU was 5-9. Gene Lundgaard had a nucleus of 1 1 good players, all of whom had shown well, but they were still not consistent as a team. But a second Lute season seemed to begin J a n .

2 2 . From that point o n they won nine of ten, and with some late season help from league also-rans, the Comeback Kids pulled it off.

As a result of the comeback, the Lutes moved into the NAIA Dis­ trict r playoffs against Central Washington earlier this week with a chance at a Kansas City tourney berth.

On Jan. 22 the Lutes topped S imon Fraser 83-62 to avenge an opening game loss. Lundgaard used his Big Three, Palm, 6-8, Roger Wiley, 6-7, and Dennis Phil· lips. 6-7. together for the first t im", . That, plus a tight zone de­ ompl tely frustrated th fense.

Iverson Named To All-Time NAIA All-Tourney Court Team

Roger Iverson in 1959

Former classmate and teammate Jim Van Beek, now director of admissions at PLU, introduces Roger Iverson, right, at PLU-UPS basketball game following announcement of "the Dodger's" NAJA honor. The Beeker also spearhead a quick fund drive to help pay the cost of Iverson's trip back to Kansas City.

Roger Iverson ('59), a 5-9 mite whose fadeaway jump shot and aggressive floor game made him a crowd favorite, a four-time all­ conference guard, and an NAIA Mr. H ustle Award winner during his four years in Lute cage togs, has been named to the NAIA All­ Time All-Tourney team.

Iverson. who along with Jim Van Beek and Chuck C urtis, formed the nucleus of a PLU team which went to the NAIA tourna­ ment for four straight years from 1 956 to 1 9 59, is the second highest scorer in PLU history with 1 ,820 career points.

The 10-man team was selected from 6,000 players who had com­ peted in the NAIA National Tour­ ney since 1 95 2 . The selection put Iverson, now a coach at Peninsula H igh School in Gig Harbor. Wash . , among such luminaries a s pro stars Willis Reed, Luke Jackson, Dick Barnett and Al Tucker.

As a member of the all-star group, Roger has been invited back to Kansas City for a special banquet and to march in the Pa­ rade of C hampions on the opening night of the 1 9 7 1 tournament.

PLU coach Gene Lundgaard ( ' 52). in his first year as Lute cage boss in 1 959, said, "C urtis, Iverson and Van Beek all could have been named, but I certainly feel that Roger's very deserv�ng."

Marv Harshman ( ' 4 1), Lute coach during Iverson's first three varsity years, said, "Roger might be the best little guy I ever coached. " I n his 1 1th year a s coach a t Pen­ insula, Iverson now limits his bas­ ketball playing to an annual facul­ ty-student benefit game. "Gee. I ' m looking forward to that trip to Kansas City," he said, "and I would love to take those other two guys back there with me. B ut I can't remember their names."

He was kidding, of course.

Asked if he would be seeing any PLU alumni during his March 6-8 trip, Iverson reflected. "There's one I hope I'll be seeing," he said, "Gene Lundgaard . "

Those two pressure games seemed to mature the Lutes. But they needed help from other con­ ference teams. Lewis and Clark stopped Willamette twice and looked like a shoo-in until they u ndertook a disasterous eastern road trip and were upset by Whit­ man and College of I daho.

PLU then entered the eastern lion's den, but warily , after the Pioneers' fall. They came away with an 87 -7:3 win over the Coyotes and a 99-63 trouncing of Whitman. along with the conference lead. as Lmfield moved in as another spoil­ er and knocked off both Lewis and Clark and Willa mette.

PLU now was 8-2. Willamette was 8-3 and Lewis and Clark was 7· 3. The showdown took place i n Olson A uditorium Feb. 18-20 .

Lundgaard's troo'p' s met the chal­ lenge with a 93-05 run-away over the Pioneers to cinch a tie for the crown. Two nights later they frus­ trated the Bearcats' bid for a title tie wi th a 9 1-64 win.

It was PLU 's first undisputed ti­ tle since they entered the NWC in 1 965.

"It took a lot of courage to hang in there and the championship is a great tribute to the kids who fought back, " Lundgaard said.

"The return of Ake Palm to full strength gave us a great boost, for the guys look to him to carry the brunt of the scoring load ." Palm averaged 17 pOints a game in NWC play .

"Tom Patnode (junior guard) carried the club for a long time, then became a victim of revamped defenses," the coach added. "But this opened up the middle for our big men. McIntosh, after he re­ covered, picked up Patnode now and it just shows what can be ac-

complished when you are fortunate to have guys like ours who are not selfish."

Patnode averaged 1 3 .8 for the season and 1 4 . 2 in loop competi­ tion. Wiley, a sophomore JV grad, finished with an 1 1 .7 average. He and Palm carried the rebounding load.

The only senior on the squad, Greg Frietag, averaged eight points a game and became an out­ standing clutch player. His defen­ sive efforts late in the season made a great difference in the PLU comeback.

Games with St. Martins, U niver� sity of Puget Sound, and then the playoffs against Central, with Kan­ sas City a possibility, wrapped up the Lute season this week after SCENE went to press.

Reli gious Life Council Responds To 'Religious Pluralism' On Campus

By Roger Gruss

Religious interest at Pacific Lutheran University is as strong as it has always been, but the atmos­ phere has changed, according to the first Religious Life Coordinator at PLU. "The new religious interest is not doctrinal, it's not denomina­ tional and it's not even necessarily Christian in the institutional sense of the word," claims Coordinator Paul Wuest, currently a PLU sen­ ior.

The Religious Life Council, of which Wuest is chairman, is a new wrinkle at the University. Its con­ stitution, which was approved by the Board of Regents this fall, places all religiously-oriented campus groups under its jurisdic­ tion.

"The broad religious pluralism on campus today emphasizes sensi­ tivity toward others and respect for their beliefs," says Wuest.

"This religious diversity creates a need for a coordinatin g body. The Religious Life CouncIl (RLC) is tryin g to help fill that need ."

ThIS new and open attitude to­ ward religious diversity is reflect­ ed in the RLC 's constitution which reads in part: "In service to and in accordance with the state objectives of Pacific Lutheran University, the Council shall further a spirit of religious community, open to diversity and based on mutual respect, and shall constructively contribute to the fullness of the quality of life of the various members and corporate groups in the University.

"The Council shall attempt to be a freeing, ena bling, reconciling and affirming center for individual and corporate religious life of the University . " Students control the balance of power on the RLC which is com­ posed of six students, three facul­ ty, the Vice President for Student Affairs (ex officio) and the Presi­ dent of the University (ex officiol.

The specific duties of the RLC include nominating candidates for

religious groups, and with develop­ ing ways to improve religious life in residence halls.

"Up to the present time, " admits Wuest, "we have been occupied with the project of calling a uni­ versity mmister. As a result, we have not developed our coordinat­ ing role to its fullest extent."

Why was the Religious Life Council necessary? " I n some ways, religious life at the University is much larger than before. But there is no one reli­ gious feeling or spirit on campus," says Dr. John Petersen of the PLU religion faculty. Petersen also sits on the RLC. "My personal opinion is that the new attitudes are less oriented toward formal worship and the Sunday morning setting than in former years. Students have shown increasing interest in discussing the religious implications of every­ day life situations," says Petersen.

Students have moved into the surrounding community in formal and informal ways. Through CALL (College Affiliated Laymen's League), USSAC (University Stu­ dent Social Action Program), and CHOICE (Center for Human Or­ ganization in Changing Environ­ ments) students have participated and contributed to the richness of religious life in Greater Tacoma.

Working through these organi­ zations, students provide ministry to a military chapel and Sunday school, correctional institution, a veteran's hospital, and rest homes as well as tutoring underprivi­ ledged children, teaching ha ndi­ capped children to swim, and par­ ticipating in an outreach program to the Nisqually Indians.

As students have become in­ creasingly mobile, coupled with their varied religious interests, they have also become involved in local, off-campus congregations.

"When I was a student, you used to be considered a traitor if you went across the street to Trinity," comments Jim Widsteen ' 69, Head Resident of Foss Hall.

"Now there's a lot more freedom.

"We used to be caught up in our own little world, " he adds. "Al-

"Where a few are gathered in my name, there shall I be also_" Pastor Taylor ( right) leads a group of students in an informal folk service this spring in the new University Center_

though it might not look as good to the casual observer, because Stu­ dent Congregation is smaller, it's probably more beneficial in the long run ."

The RLC is also trying to deal effectively with the denomination­ al diversity that exists among stu­ dents. PLU is not an exclusively Lutheran school, if indeed it ever was. In the past year, 63 percent of the students were Lutheran while the remaining third are other Prot­ estant denominations, Roman Catholic or do not indicate reli­ gious preference.

"We want non-Lutherans to know they now have the same rights and privileges that Luther­ ans have," states Wuest.

"Not many years ago, non-Lu­ therans felt thwarted at PLU. The biggest problem I had when I took office was to make peo ple aware that Student CongregatlOn is no longer the only worshiping body on campus," he said.

"The religious activities on campus today more adequately re­ flect the religious pluralism that exists , " concurs Dr. Peterson .

"This new situation i s healthier and more realistic ."

In cooperation with the Univer­ sity Minister the RLC has invited

clergy of other faiths to minister to members of their churches on campus. But both Wuest and Pe­ tersen agree that PLU should not open its doors to every religious group. " O ur campus isn't wide open for just anyone to come in and prose­ lyte in the dormitories , " says Wuest. "We are not trying to be like secular institutions and we strong affirm the Christian princi­ ples outlined in the objectives of the niversity."

Whether or not the RLC will accomplish its many goals remains to be seen. But Wuest is optimistic about the future and feels that al­ ready religious life is coming to reflect an attitude of openness and freedom.

With Luther Theological Semi­ nary in his plans for the future, Wuest leaves the RLC with its feet firmly planted in hope for the fu­ ture of religious life at PLU, " My personal philosophy about Christian education is that we must all work at being tolerant. We must allow things to happen," con­ cludes Wuest. "We must help peo­ ple pursue their own religious in­ terests rather than trying to con­ vert them to our personal ideas of Christian needs . "

Student Congregation Role Changes To Fill New Needs

Religious experience and life styles range from informal settings to regular chapel worship three times a week, which this student has just attended_

the post of university minister, a task they are completing this spring. Final selection of the uni­ versity minister is subject to the approval of the Board of Regents.

The RLC is also charged with encouraging common activities between academic and religious sectors of the community, with bridging the gaps that exist among

You can lead a horse to water, goes the old say­ ing, but you can't make him drink. You can provide religious opportunities for stUdents, but only students can make experiences meaningful and relevant.

If the analogy is not perfect, it does contain an element of truth. The fact is that students at PLU have changed and so have their ideas about what consti­ tutes religious experience. Take PLU's Student Con­ gregation as an example.

"We've lost the idea that Student Cong includes everybody, " says Student Congregation President Chris Boerger. "Student Congregation has changed. It still plays an important role in campus religious life, but it's not a dominating role ."

At one time, Student C ongregation was synony­ mous with religious life. At present, membership stands at 74 1 , although attendance at services includes many non-members each Sunday. The reasons for the change are many and varied.

University Minister Rev . Donald Taylor, a reli­ gious man-for-all-seasons who must respond to a varie­ ty of religious modes, agrees that the trend is away from Student Co ngregation at present. But this re pre­ sents a change in approach, n.o t in fundamental behef. " If I have my finger on the pulse at all, many students are emphasizing unstructured corporate wor­ shi J> and informal get togethers," says Pastor Taylor.

"It s sort of a Lutheran answer to Catholic under-

ground mass . " The informal worship-study groups seem to be an all-campus phenomenon.

Larry Jahnke, a graduate student in business and head resident in one of the men's residence halls, initi­ ated a Wednesday night devotional-communion serv­ ice for the men in his unit last semester.

"We started devotions because there was a per­ sonal need," says Jahnke. "After the men got to know one another, we recognized that there was a spiritual need that wasn't being met. " Where was the Church and why didn ' t students turn to organized religion to meet their needs?

"Students are rebelling against organized campus religion for the same reason they do off-campus .

Sometimes it's because they don ' t get anything out of the service. Some see all organized religion as hypo­ critical," says Jahnke.

"It seems like students are finding Christ in other people and by studying the Bible, rather than in for­ mal liturgy, " claims Jahnke.

Steve Stoner, the assistant resident in Jahnke's house, believes the informal Wednesday night devo­ tions attracted over half the house at one time or an­ other. The only advertising for the services was by word of mouth. Many students who attended were not regular "church-goers ."

major goals of the institution are to inculcate a respect for learning and tmth, to free the mind from confinements of ignorance and prejudice, to organize the powers of clear thought and expression, to preserve and extend knowledge, to help men achieve professional competence, and to establish life­ long habits of study, reflection and learning. Through an emphasis on the liberating arts, the University seeks to develop creative, reflec­ tive and responsible persons. At the same time, the acquisition of specialized information and techni­ cal skill is recognized as a condi­ tion of successfui involvement in the modern world.

" Pacific Lutheran University, born of the Reformation spirit, maintains the privilege of explora­ tion and learning in all areas of the arts, sc iences and religion. The basjc concern of Martin Luther was religious, but his rejection of church trawtion as primary au­ thority, and his own free search tor religious truth, served in effect to liberate the modern mind in its quest for all truth. The total im­ pact of Luther's stand has perma­ nently shaped the modern world and helped provide the modern university with its basic methodol­ ogy.

"The physical development of the student is regarded as an inte­ gral part of his liberal education.

Hence the University encou rages participation in physical actiVities and respect for health and fitness.

"Professing a concern for the entire nature of man, the faculty of the University encourages whole­ some development of Christian faith and life by providing oppor­ tunities for worship and mewta­ tion, offering systematic studies of religion and encouraging free in­ vestigation and discussion of basic religious questions. The University beheves the essence oC Christianity to be personal faith in God as Cre­ ator and Redeemer, and it believes that such faith born of the Holy Spirit generates integrative power capable of guiding men to illumi-

"As an educational arm of the Church, Pacific Lutheran Universi­ ty provides a locus for the fl'wUul interplay of Christian faith and all of human learning and culture, and as such holds it a responsibility to discover, explore and develop new frontiers. Believing that all truth is God's truth, the University, in achieving its educational and spir­ itual goals, maintains the right and indeed the obligation of Caculty and students to engage in an unbiased search for truth in all realrn5."

If we look only to religion, we IDay be disappointed. Religion and religiOUS institutions share a long history of turmoil and change th t continues today. Tbe Lutheran denomination, for example, has undergon quite a metamorphosis since Martin Luther nailed his Ninety-Five Theses to the church door in Wi ttenberg.

What does not change, however, is the message. The same Christ died for ur sins and it is this Christ who sets us free today to do His work. This knowledge is Clur real strength.

Luther's basic premise in his break with Rome concerned reli­ gi ous freedom. He claimed thal any man could worship his God in his own way. Today, that same one to one relationship between God and man is our heritage. The church cOlltinues to grow and change to meet the challenge of each new generation.

Each Lutheran congregation has al ays had its own life style which distinguishes it and makes it something special. The religious communit y at Pacific Lutheran University is no different.

At PLU, pluralism and diversity are central to our religious life.

We have students representing many denominations and many preferences. What is m eaningful to one student may have no meaning to another. There is no one reli­ gious mode.

Student Congregation, for exam­ ple, is very important to some stu­ dents. Others prefe r Qff-campus congregations. Still others prefer

informal folk services. And there are those who worship quietl.y in their own rooms.

It is not now po sihle, if indeed it ever was, to force all our stu­ dents into accepting a si ngl e reli· gious life style. Students demand a wverse ministry that IS mearungCuI to them in term of their own val­ ues. And we have every reason to respect their needs.

In response to thiS diversity and to the variety of issues students raise, PLU has expanded its scope of religiOUS activities, We need meet the student where he's at, not where we a re at. An effective min­ istry 0 a campu!' is one that is flexible withi n reason ble limits.

Our ReligiOUS Life Council haS come a long way in responding to contemporary stD denl needs I n t heir short months of operation thp Council has taken the imtiative III i nviting other religious denomina­ tions to campus to minister to members ot their faith, Student Congregation has re­ spond With new and challenging programs and has branched out into a variety of worshi p areas.

Individual students, faculty and staff have all been involved in miti· ating fresh new approaches to Chri ian fellowship.

Whal IS more ncouragillf. bout our camJlt.ls is the fact that the vast majority f students mum fai thful to the Christian ethl in their acbon . T hey have not n­ jected the central message of hop and salva ·on. Students today live their lives as cl se, it not closer, to the Judaeo'{;h ristian tradition than any p reviOUS gene rat io n The stUdents represented ill this c sue of Scene seem to be telling us that they have not given up on Christianity For this \ e are truly thankful. Although yles of wor­ shiP have changed, the Word re­ mains.

Future PLU Alums Reflect On Reli gious Att�tudes WAS CHRISTIAN AFFILIATION AT PLU 'A FACTOR IN YOUR DECISION TO ATTEND THE UNIVERSITY? IF SO, DID PLU MEET YOUR EXPECTATIONS? Lowell: It was a factor in my decision. After I got here, I was disappointed. I was looking for a vibrant and exciting Christian atmosphere. PLU just didn't have it. I found that in order to find Christianity, in order to be satis­ fied, you really have to do a lot of your ow n searching.

Glen: I feel somewhat the same way. I was looking for a challenge.

But the burden of b ginning the search lies with the individual. If you don't probe on your own, you can be here for four years and the only contact you have with Chri -ti­ anity is in the name.

Sally: It was a minor factor for me . Basically, I wanted to come to a small school. I chose PLU be­ cause it was across the state from my home. As far as religion goes, I don't think any religion will do any good if it hits you in the face. I think Pacific Lutheran has the right attitude. It doesn't force it, yet it's there if you want it.

Lowell Anderson

Dennis: I was looking for a Christian-related school. I myself am a Baptist. I first tried our de­ nominational college, but was very turned off at the response I got there when I was checking out col­ leges . So I came to PLU and was very impressed at first.

After I'd been here a short time, I was not as impressed as I was ini­ tially, but I still feel that PLU is more of a Christian institution than many other church colleges in this nation.

HAS THE UNIVERSITY CHANGED WITH REGARD TO RELIGION SINCE YOU EN­ TERED AS FRESHMEN? Sally : I think the change is re­ n cted in the U niversity itself.

When I was a freshman, we were require d to go to Chapel. That was pretty formal. The University has taken steps away from required functions.

(Editor's Note : Chapel policy was changed from compulsory to voluntary by the PLU Board of Regents on June 10_ 1968 . ) Lowell: In measuring religious life on campus, the kids I know seem t.o have an awareness of Christ or God. Students are as reli­ gious, if that's the term, as people have always been at PLU .

But, as Sally was saying, the orga nization is becoming less im­ portant, or at least it's not filling all the needs of all the students .

So. they think formal religion is less Important.

Dennis: Lately, there have been special groups organizing and some of the dorms ha ve tried to

What are PLU students saying and thinking about religious issues?

There was only one way to find out. We asked them. The following infor­ mal exchange among four senior students is the result of our efforts_ Four students volunteered for our interview : Lowell Anderson, a pre-medical student from Springfield, Ore.; Glen A nderson, a pre-semi­ narian from Everett, Wash., and Mooring Mast columnist; Sally Landt, a physical education major from Spokane, Wash.; and Dennis Bryant, a history major from Chehalis, Wash.

Although physical limitations preclude representing all the diverse religious views on campus, this interview reflects the feelings, attitudes and concerns of a great number of our future alumni. Some are active in organized religious activities while others are not.

Here is what they said.

get together once a week for wor­ ship. There are students who have a deep concern for Christ.

DO YOU VIEW THE INFORMAL TENDENCY IN RELIGION AS A NEGATIVE OR POSITIVE TREND? Glen: This is something I've per­ sonally worked for. Last spring we organized a series of innovative religious services where every week we did something totally dif­ ferent. The response to that was pretty good.

I think it's a healthy trend be­ cause if you rely too much on some kind of structure, it's too easy to slide along, going through forms, but not really confronting your­ self.

Lowe)) : I agree with Glen that getting away from the formal is good because you can get so caught up in the structure that you forget the essence. But getting caught up in devising new schemes of worship to attract people might not be the best way to approach it either. I believe the best way to approach Christianity is to become involved with orga niza tions, like Campus Crusade for Christ and I nter-Varsity .

They are more concerned about the basics of Christianity. These students seem to have found that they can work through a Church or organization, or in spite of an or­ ganization, and develop a vibrant Christianity. The Lutheran Church bothers me because (l believe) it has the structure, but seems to have lost the vibrancy.

Sally: To me, Christianity is something that is very individualis­ tic. I haven't been to church all year, and I don't think I'm a ny less a Christian than anyone else on this campus. I don't need to go to Church every Sunday to know that Jesus Christ exists .

WHAT IS THE DEGREE OF RE­ LIGIOUS TOLERANCE AT PLU? IS IT DIFFERENT THAN AT STATE INSTITUTIONS? DOES EVERYONE HA VE AN ADE­ TO OPPORTUNITY QUATE EXPLORE HIS OWN FAITH'!

Dennis: I feel I have adequate opportunity to explore my faith.

I'm basically more conservative than my own denomination (Baptist). I think it's the conserva-

Sally Landt

tive angle, not my denomination, that my peers find it hardest to identify with.

Sally: As far as religion is con­ cerned, we have all types of di ffer­ ent groups and attitudes. I thmk PLU differs from state campuses in that kids here don't get laughed into the ground. They're given a chance to do their thing on this campus. On a lot of state campuses they couldn't even exist.

Lowell: I disagree with Sally's statement about i ntolerance on state campuses. I went to a state university when I was a sopho­ more, and I think that stude nts there are looking for something spiritual, whether it's Buddhism or Taoism or whatever. Therefore, since everyone is seeking some­ thing spiritual, everyone is more tolerant of other beliefs.

WHAT IS THE ROLE AND IM­ PORTANCE OF THE RELIGION DEPARTMENT AT PLU? Glen: The religion department here is doing a good j ob in dealing with religious questions students might have. The department here is sharp enough to help us make the transition to academic life.

They help us reconcile the Christian message with the aca­ demic and scientific values we have to have to get by in our socie­ ty. One very important thing PLU does is to bridge the gap between old-style theology and academic life.

Dennis: Although I've only had one course in religion here, I feel that, basically, the ideas which were taught did not contradict my ideas.

Lowell: Religion professors have always made it very clear in their lectures that they are not putting anyone down. They're really toler­ ant of different views. The religion department is very good in con­ fronting a person with humanity, with Christianity. and with Luther­ anism They challenge a person a little bit, making him think. That's the important thing.

COULD YOU MAKE ANY FINAL GENERALIZATIONS OR OB­ SERV ATIONS THE ABOUT CURRENT RELIGIOUS CLIMATE AT THE UNIVERSITY? Glen? I think it's been freed up quite a bit. We've had a breath of fresh air and a new perspective.

Instead of following the same old

path, PLU is actively looking for what its role should be as a Chris­ tia n University.

They are trying to meet the needs of more students in more and various ways. I guess that's the primary function o f the Religious Life Council, encouraging toler­ ance a nd variety. The RLC is trying to meet the religious needs of today's students, not students of the '40's or '50's.

Lowell: I agree completely. I think there are ma ny different fac­ tors that are helping things open up religiously. I'm encouraged by the RLC's policy of allowin g other groups to come in and fill the needs of students .

Dennis : I think a freer atmos­ phere is great. It doesn' t do any good to force a person to follow Christianity or go to C hapel . If you force a person, he doesn't get any­ thing out of it. If he goes voluntari­ ly, then he is lookmg for some­ thing and he may come face to face with God .

Glen: It's not so much that there has been a decrease in faith, but j ust that students aren't participat­ ing in the group thing. A lot of people maybe come here and be­ cause it's a Christian school by name, they think that's e nough and don't extend themselves to take advantage of specific oppor­ tunities.

Glen Ander�l)n

Lowell: I agree. I think we have to keep working constantly to con­ front students with relevant Chris­ tianity , not just the structural thing that so many students are rejecting.

Glen: Although maybe some of the alumni who are reading this will shudder and think things are bad at PLU, I'm not sure that no­ tion is justified. Maybe years ago, people weren't any more chal­ lenged than we are now.

It was more the thing to do then, to become involved in formal reli­ gion, and now it' ... less the thing.

It's not that students have any less faith, but just that they are tired of expressing it in the conventional way.

ARE WE REACH ING STUDENTS WITH NEW, INFORMAL AP­ PROACHES TO CHRISTIANITY? Glen: I don't know. The innova­ tive services last spring were pret­ ty successful. Stude nts who never went to Student Congregation of­ ten came to ours. I don't know if we are making up everything we've lost in the transition to the informal attitude and we should be continually trying new ways.

Dennis : We' ve got to find a way to reach all the students, whether it's traditional, a new approach, interdenominational or whatever. I think most of the ideas are good and have their place and should be incorporated. But we still have to come up with some new ideas.

Thinclads Prepare For Shot At Conference Track Crown

Recei ves 1 s t Annual

S al zlnan A \vard Sterling Harshman '43 , Puyallup High School track coach the past 25 years and former PLU stand­ out, was presented the first ann�al Salzman Award at the PLU InvIta­ tional Relays March 20.

The new award, named in honor of former Lute athletic director and track coach Mark Salzma n, from 1 9 5 1 who served at PL 1967, is presented for "meritorious service to the sport of track."

Harshman, whose son Steve is the current PLU shot put record holder and an outsta nding football player, is the "dea n" of South Puget Sound track coaches. He has had boys in the state track meet every year he has coached.

Harshman still holds the PLU records for the 1 00- and 220-yard dashes, set in 1 94 2 .

4-Man Shell Key To PLU Rowing Hopes PLU's four-man with cox shell, which finished third in last J une's prestigious International Rowing Associa tion Regatta in competition with the nation's crew titans, is " making waves" again this spring on the West Coast .

The veteran crew, with Tim Brueckner rowing in place of Bruce Dahl but with Malcolm Klug, Conrad H u nziker, Jim Put­ tler and cox Ralph Neils aboard again, is three feet short of being undefeated i n four spring starts.

Tb week of April 5- 1 0 saw the Lute varsity four defeat Sa nta Clara at Santa C lara by two lengths and then top the Golden Bears of tbe University of California by three lengths in the Long Beach Regatta .

In the season's opener the four­ man shell lost to Oregon State by three feet in stormy seas that caused UniverSity of British Col­ um bia and Western Washington boats to sink. An arly season prac­ tice race resulted in a lO-second win over U niversity of Puget Sound.

The eight-man crews have had problems. The varsity beat Santa Clara, but finished third at Long Beach and fourth in the opener in Vancouver, B.C. They topped UPS by 45 seconds in the practice run.

Overwhelming power in the shot and discus will provide the foundation for a second serious bid at the Northwest Conference track crown May 7-8, most Lute followers predict.

The only PLU loss in four dual meets this spring was a 92-50 loss suffered at the hands of de! nding champion Willamette by an Easter vacation-depleted squad .

So far coach Paul Hoseth's weightme n, Steve Harshman, Dan Pritchard, Ra ndy Shipley, Stan Pietras and Carl Peterson, have competed primarily among themselves.

Peterson finished second in the

Record Lute Offense . Keyed Successful Season Number 13 did not hold its cus­ tomary jinx as Coach Gene Lund­ gaard ' 5 2 was named Northwest Small-College Coach of the year in his 13 th year at the PLU helm.

Pulling his squad from an early 1-7 record to the Northwest Con­ ference championship, Lundgaard came within a minute of taking his cagers to Kansas City for the NAIA playoffs.

In the District I playoffs, Central Washington won the deciding con­ test 62-59. PLU opened with a 706 1 win and then lost to the Wild­ cats 8 1 -7 1 .

The Lutes finished 1 970- 7 1 far from empty-handed. In ? "�ebuild­ ing" year they won their first un­ disputed NWC title, extended the consecutive winning season mark to 24 ( 1 5- 1 4), and look for 10 veter­ ans to return next year.

As the all-time victory mark rose to 508, Lundgaard notched his 22 5th coaching win to move within 1 1 of PLU ' s all-time winning coach Marv Harshman '42. His team also set a new offense mark with 2 ,374 points, breaking the 1958-59 stand-

ard of 2,37 1 . (They also gave up more points in a season than ever before . !

Ake Palm, 6 - 8 j unior center from Sweden, became the 1 1th Lute to score more than 1 , 000 points i n a career and has a year to go. He was a unani mous All-NWC choice and was the Lutes' Most Valuable Player.

J unior backcourt whiz Tom Pat­ node was named to the NWC second team and led PLU with 360 points. Senior Greg Frietag, j u niors Mike Willis and Dennis Phillips and sophomore Roger Wiley were honorable mention choices.

In final regula r season action , St. Martin's scored an upset vic tory over PL , 93-9 1 , and archrival U niversity of Puget Sound, wit)1 possibly its best team ever, turned back PLU's challenge 96-78.

PLU Swimmers Dominate NWC Title Meet

A PLU alumnus and three sons of PLU alums have been involved this year in one of the most excit­ ing sagas in high school sports.

Gerry Redburg '58, in his sec­ ond year as head basketball coach at Curtis Senior High School near Tacoma, guided his team to a 24·0 record and the state AA champion­ ship this winter.

An undefeated hoop season is feat enough, but what is more remarkable, the Curtis Vikings were undefeated against AA oppo­ nents in all sports through the fall and wi nter seasons !

Among the young athletes help­ ing to compile the fantastic record are Mark Wells, son of Mr. and Mrs . Burt Wells '52 (Sue Carpy ' 50) ; Jim Ball, son of Mr. and Mrs. James' Ball ' 54 (Ramona Watkin ' 66 ) ; and Paul Zurfluh, son of Mr. and Mrs. Tom Zurfluh ' 5 2 .

Mark, whose father was a bas­ ketball and track star as a Lute, was a varsity quarterback on the undefeated (9-0) Curtis football team and averaged 1 1 points as a guard on the basketball team. Re­ ceiving All-Seamount League rec­ ognition in both sports, he is cur­ rently competing in four events for the Viking track squa d .

J im was a varsity golfer last fall and also averaged I I points a game for the Curtis state bas ket-

Lute swimmers smashed seven Northwest Conference records (all seven set by PLU in '69) enroute to the co nference championship in a three-day meet at the PLU pool March 4-6.

Building a commanding lead the first day, PLU was never threat­ ened. Coach Gary C hase's finest finished with 166 points to 123 for defending champion Lewis a nd Clark. Willamette had 60, Pacific 5 1 , Whitman 30 and Linfield 14.

Terry Ludwig, a sophomore from Bellevue, set four new stand­ ards with victories in the 500 freestyle, 200 backstroke ' and 400 individual medley plus the opening leg on the 800 freestyle relay .

Senior Dave Hansen of Modesto, Cal . , successfully defend d his ti­ tles in one and three-meter diving.

Freshman Pete Carder from Ta­ coma combined speed and endur­ ance to break marks in the 200 and 1650 freestyle races.

Winning their third title i l1 four years, the Lutes 10 e only Jim Bergstrom, Tacoma fre stylist, to graduation .

But Hoseth, who brought the ci�der . squad from last place to third III two years, has strong youngsters all the way down the roster. Glen Hig� in� has b(>�n a double winner tWice III the sp.rlllts.

Neil Martin, a converted sprInter, has two 880 wins and Tom H olmes regularly cops the long and triple j umps . Phil Tundel is accustomed to winning the javelin; Mike Greer is a record-setting pole vaulter, and John Oberg and Frank Wilson are strong in the hurdles and the 440 respectively.

Hoseth is still trying, however, to find a replacement for Rob Gray! who set new school sta�d­ ards III the one , two and three-mile events last year. But the squad is young ; there are only seven sen­ iors on a 33-man roster.

Sports Shorts Early spring golf results show the Lutes ranking number thre in the Northwest Conference with Lewis and Clark holding a commanding lead.

The Pionee rs won the PLU T e Off Tourney and the Northwest Small College Golf ClasSIC , both held at Spanaway Golf Course . The Lutes finished third on both occasions.

Student Congregation According to Pastor Taylor, a frequ�nt . partici­ pant in informal sessions, the membershIp In these non-established groups is in constant fluctuation and change. This indicates to him that students are seek­ ing 'omething more than what traditional services have offered. " Students are crying out for religious commun­ ion and fellowship," says Pastor Taylor.

Describing Laos, Schnackenberg painted a mental picture of a strategically-located country inhabited by primitive people who are utterly helpless to prevent foreign incursion, either from the North or from the South.

With reference to Vietnam, he felt the people would b e better off if left to settle their conflict between themselves, but that such a pull out would leave 300,000 Laotians totally unable to feed themselves.

Now It's Offi cial!

PLU's Beloved 'Oldest AluIn' , Olaf Gulbransen, 88, Graduates A "high school dropout" re­ ceived a diploma at Pacific Luther­ an University commencement ex­ ercises Sunday, May 23.

The "dropout" is Olaf Gulbran­ sen, 88-year-old Tacoma resident, who went on to become a success­ ful businessman and served as a PLU regent .

Gulbransen started high school in 1895 at PLU which was then called Pacific Lutheran Academy.

The school had opened in 1894.

In 1 920- 2 1 the school he had left in Parkland added a two-year normal school and j unior college and took the name Pacific Luther­ an University. Gulbransen, an ac­ tive chUTchman and sharp busi­ nessman, was elected to the board in 1927 and served six years as a regent Gulbransen's store and theaters continued to be highly profitable ventures, but in 1942 Millie's health began to fail and they sold out and returned to Stanwood.

Because of his business acumen he was constantly in demilnd from a

variety of local businesses, but he took nothing permanent and devot­ ed most of his time to care for his wife (they had no childre n). Mrs. Gulbransen died ill 1 964 and short­ ly afterwards Gulbransen moved to Parkland and got an apartment just off the campus of his beloved PLU. In the years he has been here Gulbransen has become a familiar figure in Parkland and on the PLU campus. He never misses a football or basketball game . He attends chapel regularly and takes in all the PLU concerts, lectures and re­ citals.

To be a member of PLU's Alum­ ni Association, a person must have attended the school at lea t one year. Gulbransen has bee n an ac­ tive member of the Associati n through the years and is believed to be the oldest living alumnus.

Sunday he became a bona fide graduate of his alma mater. Presi dent Eugene Wiegman presented Gulbransen with a Pacific Luther­ an Academy diploma. It is the opinion of the faculty, regents and administration that this retired businessman and former regent has more than met the nec ssary graduation requirements .

Governor Si gns Tuition Supplelnent Measure

The son of a utheran ministl'r, Gulbransen returned to his home in Sea ttle in 1 8 . i t earn monlV. th fall of 1901 he enr oUt!d agail at t e Academy. In the mean tUlle hi family had moved to Stanwood where Gulbransen wa assistant to the postmaster among the things.

In the sprmg of 1903, a couple o monU ' before graduation, the Sta1l\\rood post master became ill and Gulbrans n was summoned to tak hlS pia e. H e never returned . . . as a student, that is By the lime the postmaster reo covered th school y ar was over and Gulbran n was firmly en­ trenched in bus mess endeavors.

In 1 907 he married Millie Noss, a Shmwood lass. "We started out big." G ulbransen recalls. "With t he he p of Millie's father and the Stanwood ank we opened up a ge neral star on the Mount Baker Higbway, six miles east of down­ l \\ n Bellingham," he said.

A bill that will help defray this year's PLU tuition increase for some students wa signed into law by Washington Gov. Daniel Evans May 6 .

Senate Bill 4 1 9, which was intruduced upon rec­ ommendation of the Governor's Council on Higher Edu­ cation, gives an automatic $ 1 00-a-year tuition sup pie­ ment to any student of a privat coUege or university in Washi ngton state who applies for it . provided that the student is a state reside nt PLU President E ugene Wiegman said the tuitlor supplement III effect cancels out thi' year's tuition hike for PL !>tude nts w ho l ive in Washin � on .

"It · am ng th urp ses of t uS a t to rec g ize t he c ontn b ut ion: made to the edu c-a tional level of the Cltizens of this :slate by the i.ndepe nd nt aI prl 'a e lJl­ s titutions of higher education III 'ashington , " the leg­ i laLlon rea s in part. rlus is the first major direct tui t. n uppiement to stud n ts in private ducaho n I n Was hi n gt on . Some 4 other state offer either direct 01 1I1dlrect aid to private institutions.

"Thi measure represents a new philosoph y of cooperation in higher education on the state Ie e l , " Wiegman said "We are looking at t h e comprehensive educational n ds of Washington inst ad of look mg at private and public instutitions as separate, competing entities. " Part of the measure's success, the PLU p resident said, is due to an extensive educational effort on the part of Washington Friends for Higher Education, an association of the 10 accredited private institutions of higher l earning in Washington.

Several state legislators deserve special credit for the passage of the important measure, including Rep. MarJorie Lynch, R-Yakima, and Sen. Gordon Sandison, D-Port Angeles. Mrs. Lynch and Sandison are, respec­ tively, chairmen of the HOllse and Senate committees on higher education.

Washington Gov. Daniel Evans, righ , signed a tuition uppl-=­ ment bil1 benefiting private college 3Dd university studen .lay 6. Witnessing the action were Rep. Marjorie Lynch, R-Ya.kim.a left, and PLU President Eugene Wiegman.

Accreditation Ranks PLU School Of Business Among Nation's Best The PLU School of Business received national professional rec­ ognition this month when it was accepted s an accredited member of the American Association of Collegiate Schools of Busin�ss.

Approval by the Association, the ole accrediting agency nationwide for business administration pro­ grams, puts the PLU undergrad u ­ ate 1 rogram i n the top six per cent nationwide, and grants full mem­ bership in the accrediting organi­ zation. PLU President Eugene Wiegman indicated.

Only 1 50 schools out of 2, 500 conducting undergraduate business education programs are accredited AACSB members, he added.

The announcement was made at the Association' s annual meeting, held 10 Denver. Receiving the re­ port, Wiegman expressed the uni· versity's pride in the School of Business accomplishment.

"We are most pleased to join the

distinguished ranks of schools holding full membership in the Associaton," he sai d. "This is a recognition of the fine program developed by Dr. Gunar Kin g, dean of the School of business, hIS predecessor, Dr. Dwight Zulauf, and the entire business faculty. It is a continuing challenge to devel­ op and maintain the standards of an accredited program."

Accreditation is granted follow­ ing proven adherence to a set of high standards and maintenance of very specific curriculum require­ ments, according to Dr. King. The ranking has been achieved in spIte of limited size in the 1 1 th year since the founding of the school.

King also pointed out that the PLU program now has the dual advantages of being small and non­ departmentalized with a student­ faculty ratio of 18 to 1 , while at the same time offering a strong curriculum with excellent faculty resources.

Since its establishment in 1 960, the school has granted 249 bache­ lor's degrees a nd 45 master's de­ grees. The master's program was added in 1 96 5 . Both programs of­ fer part-time and evening curricu­ lum in addition to regular course offerings.

The AACSB report indicated that the PLU program well ex­ minimum ceeds personnel standards requirements. There are 12 faculty members holding doc­ tor's degrees and four certified accountants on the 1 7-member business school faculty. Three new faculty members joining the staff next fall have all completed doc­ toral studies.

Other areas in which the school was examined and met require­ ments were admissions policies, faculty research, curriculum, li­ brary and financial resources and administra tion.

Among the smallest schools achas credited by AACSB, PL

solved the problem of limited numbers of faculty members , King indicated. "We have two or three specialists for each area," he said, "with most teaching in two fields.

We consider this inter-field com­ petence to be a major asset " Students especially benefit from accreditation, King pointed out.

Agencies such as state boards of accountancy, federal agencies and others who recruit business gradu­ ates with professional competence typically view AACSB accredita· tion as a standard of excellence.

Applicants may also take CPA examinations in other states with· out additional training or testing.

Accreditation procedures began in 1 969 with a major self-study and included consultations with deans from five other accredited business shcools. The school ap­ plied for accreditation 1 t fall and was visited by an AA ,., 'B accredl­ t<!tion team in February.

Spotlight On Alumni

Alulnni Build Base For The 70's

By Ray Tobiason Pres., PLU Alumni Assn.

Martha Stoa

Jon Wefald

The man responsible for the well-being of one of Minnesota's major industries is a 1959 PLU graduate who was recently appointed Conunission­ er of Agriculture by Minnesota Governor Wendell Anderson.

Jon Wefald has served in his new post for five months after six years as a history professor at Gustavus Adolphus College, St. Peter, Minn. At 33, the youngest to hold the state post, Wefald has pledged to be "a strong par­ tisan for rural Minnesota and a champion of the family fanner, ho will not stand around and watch small towns in Minnesota die."

Prior to his appointment, Wefald made two unsuccessful " but reward­ ing" flings al elec 've office. In 1968 he lost a Congressional race to lo-year incumbent Ancher Nelson, and last fall 10 t a close bid for state auditor to another political veteran, Rolland Hatfield.

After leaving PL • Wefald earned a master's degree from Washington Stale and a doctor's degree from the University of Michigan. .

He still malniains his home in st. Peter, which means a ISO-mile com­ muting trip to Sl. Paul eh day. �artha Stoa, a 1962 graduate of the PLU School of Nursing, has recent­ ly r� umed La the States after almost live years as a missionary nurse in India .

Also. she believ , much of what has loeen called leprosy over the centuries was actually skin cancer or other diseases tha t erode the flesh.

Martha is currently thinkin g of more graduate study in the field of pub­

1970-7 1 bas been an active year for YOUR ALUMNI ASSOCIA­ TION. The prospects for 1971-72 are for even greater activity and impact, and the posture for the decade of the '70's is one of real enthusiasm and optimism. We are formed in an association to "in­ crease our spirit of loyalty and fra­ ternity, and to assist in better or­ ganization and development of a continuous and effective program of united action in promoting the welfare of the University and its alumni." I believe we are on the move in meeting these objectives.

Our program for this year has been directed not only at immedi­ ate needs, but has been developed to provide a base for broader and mare significant participation by alumns ill their associa tion. The associatIon, in turn, is seeking to become a more viable IDstrument in relationships with the University and alumns.

The establishment of Scene, of which this is the sixth issue, hope­ fully has brought the campus and fellow alums closer to you through many pictures and articles. A new Cull time director, Harv Neufeld, has bee n selected and will be on the job July L and plans are well

Does it help to point out, to the yet uncommitted, that 20 per cent o( the alums are carrying the load for Ule other 80 per cent? Do you pomt out that the majority seems to be apathetic about supporting the school and the co cept of Chnstian higher education. a con­ cept that h _ contributPd so much to the richne and fullness of their lives ' ertalOly , we must thank those dozens of alu:nnti who nol only con­ t ributed money, but also spent hund reds of hours planning this yea r s Annual Alumni Fund Drive ; those alums who gave up time

from their business and family to phone their fellow alums for dol­ lars. These men and women partic­ ipated willingly, with a sense of true dedication to Pacific Lutheran University and what the institution stands for.

The hopes and dreams we share for Christian hlgber education and Pacific Lutheran Uruversity re­ quire a "team effort" in terms of support. The forces of negativism in society today tear at the very foundation of what I'm sure PLU alumni really hold dear to th ir hearts.

H future generations of Ameri­ cans are to enjoy the benefits of Christian education.. thl!f1 we, as alums of a hrist c Dtered school, must determine separately and together to join in total commit­ ment to the idea of continuing such education.

As this fmal ISSU of Scene goes to press, we're still about $10,000 short of the $60,000 goal set b) the Alumni Board for continuing sup­ port to PLU. Over 5,000 al\lIJl8 sull remain uncommitted to their alma mater.

It doesn't take a mathematical giant to fig ITe out how small an amount would be needed from each to reach the goal.

A gift of n from each of the uncommitted would virtually DOUBLE the dollar amount 'e set out to raise las t fall.

Now it's over. PLU concluded its Year of Commitment by gradu­ ating the biggest and best class in its hislory. Biggest in terms of numbers, 534 bachelor's and 51 master's degrees, and be8t m tenns of academic preparation.

It was an individual Victory for each graduate who stepped across the auditorium stage to join you in the ranks of loyal alumni. At the same time, it represents a collec­ tive victory for every supporter of Christian higher education ; and every alum of PLU.

Not the least among our gradu­ ates this spring was a very special gentleman, one Johan Olaf Gul­ bransen, w 0 received his diploma on graduation day from Pacific Lutheran Academy, albeit 611 years late.

Olaf was the only graduate who received his own, personal stand­ ing ovation.

Graduation of course. is known for its pomp and c re mony. Where else can one catch the faculty wearin their robes and academic hood? It generally strikes us as largely symbolIC. For each individual. t;raduation exercises mark a milestone In Hfe, the SI1ccessful compl tion of a per·· sonal commitment to their friends, their parents and themselves. It symbolizes the ho t of memo ri es that make up a student's career. _

In a larger sense, graduation symbolizes something far greater.

It stand s as a witness to higher Christian education at PLU. An education that communicates more than facts and figures. An educa­ tion that affords each graduate a Christian context from which 10 make decisions.

That i s why the granting of a degree to Olaf Gulbransen is so

appropriate Like commencement it elf, Olaf is a s 1 of what Christian education can stand for in a person' s life The word commencement is Originally deri\'ed from two words meaning "to begin together." That is what happens to each graru18tIon. In spirit. these tudents go into the world together making a new beginning in lile.

Throughout his life, Olaf Gul­ bransen has made new beginnings_ He has had an outstanding career a� a businessman. churchman and civic leader He has, as his citati on read in part. ' " given unstiDtingly of hts time. talents, and material pos­ S .ssions for the benefit of tus fei10 vman. " He is till making new beginn's at the . gc of 88. Ed uca tion does not terminate at commen� men!. A person makes a new be­ ginnins, dedicat s hImself to rt"­ newed commi tment, at many Urnes in biB life The day followin graduatIon, ! overheard Olaf lal lng t a S fl'­ tary. Althoug h I didn' hear her comment, I heard h i reply . "Is that right? I didn 't know that Stiil learning None of lhJS would ever ha 'e bappencd hc.td I.t nut been for men and women former students like laf who, upon completion of hLS studies, gave of lus time, his pray· ers and his persona! fortu ne. He gave because he knew and be­ lieved in what PL stands for.

Next fall. a flock of fledgling freshmen \ ill step hesitantly onto campus. They will be inquisitiv . rllady to learn, and ready to make their contribution to this U verSI' ty. It is to the credit of Olaf and others like him, like YIJU, perbap.�, that these fresh men will have a pJace to sta rt.

Lutes Upset Whibnan To Gain First C onference Links Title For the first time in six years the Whitman Missionaries were unseated as Northwest Conference golf champions. And the team that pulled off the upset was a red-hot troupe from Pacific Lutheran Uni­ versity.

F rmer housemother Agnes ShaOand, left, with Mary Louise Crocker '69 and June E8ch� '65.

Featured speaker was Miss J 0 Eleanor Elliott, former president of the American Nurses Associa­ tion and current director of nurs­ ing programs for the Western In­ terstate Council for Higher Educa­ tion.

When the first graduating class of two left in 1954, Mrs. George Morken was the only on-campus .faculty member and nursing ad­ ministrator. Clinical education was conducted at Emanuel Hospital School of Nursing in Portland, where Mrs. Morken had served earlier as director of nursing.

Mrs. Morken served alone until 1 958. At that time the entire pro­ gram was brought on campus to meet requirements for profession­ al accreditation, and a full clinical faculty was employed.

Laboratory and clinical training are still conducted at local hospi­ tals. PLU nursing students now receive clinical experience at Good Samaritan in Puyallup, Lakewood General, Puget Sound General, Doctor's, Tacoma General, St. Jo­ seph, Mary Bridge, Madigan and the American Lake Veterans' . Administration H ospital.

The School of Nursing also is affiliated with the Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department, Maple Lane School for Girls in Centralia and Tacoma School District's school nursing program.

Dr, Doris Stucke, director of the School of Nursing since Mrs. Mor­ ken left in 1 966, b li{'ves the affili­ ation with Maple ane is the only degree nursing program in the United States uSlllg facilities of a school for delinquent girls in psy­ chiatrIC training. Arrangements for the cooperative venture were made when a PLU alumna, Mrs. Edna Pulver Goodrich ' 4 1 . was s perint ndent at Maple Lane, Enrollmen in the nursing school has boomed in the past five

years. There were 24 clinical grad­ uates in 1 96 6 and 66 will graduate in 1 97 1 .

Total enrollment i n clinical courses tbis fall was 259. This in­ cludes pre-nursing students and registered nurses in liberal arts courses.

Dr. Stucke says the enrollment increase mirrors the attitudes of today's young people.

"They want to do something worthwhile, something to help others," she said. She added that improvement in wages for nurses and the "reputation of graduates of the PLU nursing program" have added to the interest in nursing.

Costs of maintaining a nursing program are high, however. One credit hour of nursing training costs five times more than an hour of geography, for example. The cost to the student is identical. At PLU physics is the only course to exceed nursing in cost per hour.

With 20 years of nursing school experience to draw upon, adminis­ trators now are looking for new ways of financing the program.

Before they celebrate many more birthdays, they will seek ways, perhaps through legislation, to keep nursing education in private institutions on a sound financial footing.

D on' t Forget; Puget Sound Are a Alurn Picnic June 1 9 The Puget Sound area alums will hold then third annual family picnic at Dash Point State Park Saturday, June 19, contm umg through th afternoon from 1 p.m .

PL U Blue Key Chapter Honors Biology Professor Dr. Harold Leraas, professor of biology at PLU, was honored re­ cently by the PLU chapter of Blue Key, national junior and senior men's service honorary.

The Blue Key Outstanding Teacher award was prese nted at a special Program in C hris Knutzen Hall, a part of the new U niversity Center. The hall is located on the site of the old Classroom Building, where Dr. Leraas taught bis fi t class at PLU, then a junior college, in 1 935.
