"Christian Colleges Should Not be Safe Preparations for the 83rd school year of George Fox College began in September as professors and selected students attended a two-week "Faith and Learning" conference held on campus. The pre-school program, coordinated by Dean of College William Green, involved lectures, panels, discussions, and paper presentations, as well as faculty and division meetings. Guest lecturers on campus for the conference were Dr. Beatrice Batson, chairman of the Division of Humanities at Wheaton College and Dr. Allen O. Pfnister, a consultant in higher education and currently professor of higher education at the University of Denver. Christian colleges should be in the forefront of higher education in the United States today, professors were told as Dr. Batson opened the first week of the conference. Christian colleges should not be "weathervanes following the direction of others" but should have their own specific goals. "There are misconceptions about Christian Colleges," Dr. Batson noted. "They should not be 'safe' places for gathering to protect students against the shock of the cultural revolution," she said. "They should not be a place for Christian educators to withdraw and be comfortable and secure. And they should not be places of indoctrination."
Portraits of Dr. Henry John Minthorn, Newberg's first physician and "father" of foirner President Herbert Hoovor, and his wife, Laura Ellen, are new additions to the Alumni Lounge in Minthorn Hall. The Minthorn's grandchildren Roger Minthorn Strench, Donald Davis Strench, and Mary Jeanne Rosenquist donated the paintings. Dr. Minthorn was the first superintendent of Friends Pacific Academy. Pacific Academy later expanded in 1891 to add Pacific College, now George Fox College. An 1874 graduate of Iowa State Medical College, Dr. Minthorn practiced for a time in West Brach, Iowa, the birthplace of Hoover. It was there that he treated Hoover for a severe attack of croup which others thought to be hopeless; Minthorn is reported to have been responsible for saving Hoover's life. Mrs. Minthorn was born near Pleasant Hills, Ohio, and was trained as a teacher. The Minthorns moved to Oregon in 1882. When the Minthorn's son died in 1883, they asked the then-orphaned nephew Hoover to come live with them in Newberg. The 10-year-old lad arrived in the fall of 1884 and immediately became a part Why are all those students standing of the Oregon family, including tending the around in the football - field, staring up at cows in the gulch now called Herbert the sky?

Dr. Batson said the Christian college should not be a storehouse of "ready-made answers" and must allow students to think creatively and imaginatively. She warned that chapels, Bible courses, and prayer meetings are not enough to make a college Christian. And Dr. Batson said. "Christian colleges should not become just a training center for full-time Christian workers and pastors, but should be educating all students in a Christian perspective." The specific calling of a Christian college should be to integrate faith and learning, Mrs. Batson said. She said an education, to be complete, should not only include academic instruction, but a basis for searching and finding the meaning and direction of life to provide "Wholeness and unity" for the individual. Dr. Batson was the guest lecturer for the first week of the two week conference. She has been at Wheaton College since 1957 and became Chairman of the Division of the Humanities Sept. 1 of this year. She is the author of " A Reader's Guide to Religious Literature." and has ready for publication a manuscript-.of "John Bunyan: the Attractiveness of His Art." She researched her publication on Bunyan at the British Museum as the result of a research grant from the Wheaton Alumni Association of 1966-67.
Woman's Auxiliary Chooses Projects .George Fox College's Shambaugh Library and Wood-Mar Hall will be the 1974 beneficiaries of the George Fox College Woman's Auxiliary. Annually the organization raises nearly $ 1,000 which it distributes to various projects and needs on campus. This year the college library will be given extra funds for its needs and the organization will help with the rennovation of the women's lounge in Wood-Mar Hall. The building's lower floor is being remodeled this fall. A majority of the auxiliary's funds will come from its annual Christmas bazaar slated for Dec. 1 on campus.

Tonight:
SEYMOUR AMICK IN WOOD-MAR HALL Seymour Amick, a Newberg pianist who performed at the White House during his professional career, will present a public recital tonight, Oct. 18, at 8:00 pm in Wood-Mar Auditorium. Amick, 80, gave concerts in 31 states, Europe and Canada before a broken finger ended his career in 1942. Now retired, his public performance at George Fox last year was his first public appearance in over 20 years. Amick, a native of Chicago, once studied under Paderewski. A performer at the White House for family groups and espe-
cially favored by Mrs. Roosevelt, he practiced 6 to 10 hours each day, memorizing entire concerts with up to 2 0 0 pages of music. The Amicks first moved to Newberg in 1 962. Five years later they moved to Newport, followed by their return to Newberg in 1972. The first half of Amick's concert will include excerpts from the three musical periods of Beethoven. The second half of the program will be entirely selected from the works of Chopin. The Concert is free of charge and open to the public.
Two Weeks Into the Term . . . O h , Dear G o d , W h y Me? The world settles fast into routine. The shine of the new term goes — suddenly. One morning I awake and it just isn't there any more. The excitement has faded, i look ahead, and my life between today and Christmas revolves entirely around classes and studies. My world consists of classrooms, the library, and my desk — with brief glimpses of gray sky and brown leaves as I move between them. Why am I here? Where am I going? Psychology, literature, mathematics — all man made knowledge — why am I studying these? God, how do they fit into your scheme for my life? Wait Let us step back and ponder the larger picture. "How does a man become wise? The first step is to trust and reverence the Lord!"1 In this era so filled with human ideologies and philosophies, we must remember that it is God who created the human. He is still in control. Within his realm, still, is total knowledge, total wisdom, and complete understanding. Don't quail at the vast mountains of facts your professors have asked you to digest, assimilate, and regurgitate "concisely and in your own words." Don't be frightened by the vocabulary, collateral reading, or lecture techniques. We have an overwhelming promise that "when the Holy Spirit, who is truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth, for he will not be presenting his ideas, but will be passing on to you what he has heard. "* Our God is much more than a savior or guide. He is also the true source of all knowledge. Open yourself to his teaching and college — life itself — is a guaranteed success. But be patient. Remember, God doesn 't always measure success in the form of a G.P.A. And though "we confidently and joyfully look forward to actually becoming all that God has had in mind for us to be. " 3 we will never totally reach that point until the day we are finally united with him. So be patient with God. Be patient with yourself. And be patient with others — especially professors. We are all equal in God's sight. We all have our shortcomings as well as our strong points. And, though a professor may be placed over you in a certain area, allow him his deficiencies in another. Give him room to fail — just as you want tolerance from him in your failures. Accept him as a brother in Christ and respect him for his individuality So, if the glow is gone, the routine dull, you can put shine back into your life by remembering that God is working in you through it and through the people you meet; and God's will is sure to be done in all things. Perhaps then you'll find you can hardly wait for tomorrow I J Proverbs 1:7 (Living Bible) 2 John 16:13 (Living Bible) 3 Romans 5:2 (Living Bible)
Be Hungry. . .To Be Filled by Roger Sargent Christ has said. "Blessed are they which are hungry, they shall be filled." ' Hungry? Hungry for what? Bodily food? Spiritual morsels? Knowledge? Or wisdom? But, is it important to know what type of food before we can grasp the essence of Jesus' statement? Or do we really need to be more basic and to actually know what it is to be hungry, first? And is this not Christ's point — we must be hungry before we can be filled. To apply this idea to our learning experience here at George Fox College may well be one of the most profitable projects we could undertake. We.— as students — need to develop an appetite for learning. Yet, not knowledge of our world separated from knowledge of religious things, nor vice versa; but a combination of the two letting them "spark each other." How can we develop this hunger called "faith and learning?" I have found three avenues which lead to renewing my appetite for learning. They are as follows: I first examine the aspect of my God, my time, and my money. I am obligated to be a steward of what God has given me; thus I must use it wisely. I must strive to get my money's worth out of each class I take, for God has actually given me this temporal blessing. And, since I have been given grants and aid, I am responsible not only to God and to myself, but also to those who have helped me. Secondly, I must use others as sources of motivation, not only to inspire me to learning, but also to present new areas of interest to me. Professors are here primarily to develop enthusiasm in me for their subject, and it is my duty to demand no less than that of them! Finally, I must consume the correct substances to satisfy my hunger. I must not "spoil my appetite" mentally. If I fill up on nonessentials, I will find myself satisfied with that — leaving little room for the meat that has been prepared for me in the form of my college experience. I must eat first of the Word of God and of the diet my professors have prepared. In this I am able to see more clearly the relationships between God's Word and the subjects I study. I am able to study philosophy objectively; I am able to see the fine points of an argument, but at the same time understand where man has gone awry. Knowledge of scripture gives me courage and backing as I venture into areas unexposed to God's ways. In this I am able to relate my faith to the world and share in solving its problems in an intelligent manner. Just now I am secure in my ivory tower here at George Fox College, and rightly so. However, someday it will be my responsibility to come down from my tower and to relate what I have learned to a needy world. Christ promised to fill us, but first we must actually be hungry. We must develop habits and attitudes that are conducive to a healthy appetite. This means finding a reason to eat. The key is in faith combined with learning. 1 Luke 6:21

Why do you bless me so much? What have I ever done to deserve it? In spite of the mistakes I make — when I don't face reality, when I try to accom-
plish tasks on my own — God patiently reminds me of his precious, ever-extending love. "Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ." 1 He not only encourages me with his Word and soothing Spirit, but also through the constant love of a previous companion who gives me encouragement and precautionary advice — which I wish to share with others: Being far from home can tear and gnaw at you — BEWARE! You'll feel melancholy and wonder why you ever went to school in the first place. DON'T START!/ If you ever begin to doubt your purpose it will weigh on you like a stone. Do not allow it to begin or you will suffer . . . A restlessness will eat on your very soul, and you will begin to gaze to the east at dawn with a yearning you will have no name for . . . The only thing I can offer in the way of advice is to not allow yourself to dwell on it — the empty lonely feeling you get. At these times all you can do is hide — find a friend — and wait until the feeling leaves you in peace.
To these words I add this advice: acknowledge the importance of God's precious promises; allow him to hide you in the shadow of his wings. "I urge you, then — I who am a prisoner because I serve the Lord: live a life that measures up to the standard God set when he called you. Be humble, gentle, and patient always. Show your love by being helpful one to another."2 Though moments of discouragement and trials may perplex you, remember "with God all things are possible, "3 and "the peace of God which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Once Upon A Time by Veida Le Baron There once was a hermit. He had long left the houses of men and had wandered far and near, seeing much and pondering more until a small, undiscovered valley received him. Here the hermit stayed to be alone with Nature and his own thoughts. Long ago in the midst of his wanderings he had lost his faith in God, love, miracles, and new wonders. To help maintain himself, he planted a small garden, gathering plants he found in the neighboring woods. One day, he found a sapling growing out of a boulder. It was shrouded over by trees and grew against an overshadowing cliff. It looked like it was about to die from lack of sun and soil. The hermit went over to the rock and, to his surprise, he was able to move it. He took the sapling and even most of the boulder to his small cabin where he planted and watered it. Under the hermit's care, the sapling's leaves became larger and greener; its roots now had room to reach deep into the rich soil and become strong. Many years passed, but the hermit had forgotten time. He did not know that outside his secluded, peaceful valley the world had become crowded and the cities so filled with unkindness and frenzy that people were leaving to find another place to live. So it came to pass that one day an old wagon drawn by an old horse with a cow tied behind and a family piled on top with their possessions creaked their way into the hermit's valley. He had stood in the shade of the tree he had planted so long ago and watched their painful progress down the steep slopes surrounding his valley. They arrived at his cabin when summer's day was at its hottest. He had had ample time to observe them on their way. The man was
worn, tired, and looked at the hermit with sad, questioning eyes. The woman was faded, timid, and plain. The children were brown-haired and pink-cheeked, but their eyes Were full of fear of what they couldn't understand. He sent them away. He stood in the shade of the tree he had planted so long ago and watched their painful progress up the steep slopes surrounding his valley. Hate and fear filled his heart. In the following days more and more people filtered through his valley until a dusty, rutted track was formed. He sent them away. Then, the tree began to die. Its broad, dark, green leaves withered and dropped off. The hermit, blaming the travelers that passed through his valley for what was happening to the tree, did all he could think of to save it. He had come to think of the tree as his one, true friend that had stuck with him in all seasons. And still, the people kept coming. Early one morning he woke to find an old man and his wife had come into the valley late in the night. They could go no further. The hermit went back to his cabin, gazing sadly at the tree which, to all appearances, was dead. Slowly, he packed the few things he would need and left the valley. He did not see the young family which came later and helped the old couple move into his now-deserted cabin. He did not see how children climbed all over the tree, nor how it began to grow new, green leaves. He had only been a poor hermit who hadn't understood that he had possessed a tree and even a whole valley of love, nor that he had to give it away if it, if he himself, were to live. He was a hermit who only existed.
Baseball and friendly people were the two influential factors which initially attracted Mark Rhodes to George Fox College last year. However, during the past summer Mark has realized it was more than just circumstance. After six and a half years of being a Christian, the Lord made this summer one of real growth and fellowship for Mark. From the "programmed knowledge" which Mark had faithfully learned, he came to the point of realizing that there's a lot more to the person of Christ. "He gave me the right people and books to show me that Christ commissions us to do a lot of things. We are to love one another, to make disciples throughout the whole world, to lead others to Him, to do everything to build up the Church and individuals in the body of Christ." Mark's hope for this year can be summed up in his prayer, "Lord, I'll listen to You; show me what You want me to do."
Local, College History Closely Allied by Nina Ram Here in Newberg lies one of the oldest and most beautiful college campuses in the Pacific Northwest. Its history and development has been intimately involved in the history of Newberg and of Oregon itself. The earliest known inhabitants of the Willamette Valley were the Yamoela Indians, a nomadic people who lived in houses built of brush and supported themselves by hunting and fishing. By the time the white man first began to explore the area, there were many tribes and nations of Indians, with distinctive cultures, languages, and territories. Though explorers had entered the area earlier, the first major expedition to explore Oregon was that of Lewis and Clark. A decade later, in 1813, the first white man's camp in the vicinity of Newberg was built by Alexander Henry. Henry was a trapper for the Northwest Fur Company. In the fall of 1813 he established his winter camp on the bank of the Willamette near modern day Champoeg Park; then, due to winter flooding, he quickly moved to higher ground to the north—where Newberg is now located. The wealth of resources in deer, beaver, and other wildlife attracted many trappers in the years which followed. French Canadian trappers worked and finally settled in the area south of Newberg. This region still retains the name "French Prairie." Other settlers followed the trappers. Not only was there plentiful game in the Willamette, Yamhill and Chehalem River Valleys, but also fine agricultural lands and timber. One of the earliest settlers was Ewing Young. A fur trader, Young entered the area in 1834 in the company of a gang of horse thieves (he was unaware of their occupation at the timel). After reaching the Chehalem Valley, he settled and gave up furs for cattle. He pre-empted a choice fifth square mile claim, following the Spanish custom he learned in California, and then brought more then six hundred head of Spanish longhorns over the Siskiyou
Silhouettes by Cindi Roberts Previously known to many Medfordites and now known here at Fox is Debbie Freeman. Debbie prefers to be called " D J " because there are several people on campus bearing the same name. Before graduating from high school. DJ had wanted to live in a Christian community house called "Shiloh." After prayer and consideration she felt she couldn't handle it. For a while things were uncertain, but George Fox College kept coming to her mind. At first, DJ's parents didn't approve because of the expense and because Fox wasn't very well known to them. "After a visit with Ron Rittenhouse, my Mom really wanted it. I doubted a little, but applied anyway. But the Lord kept confirming it by brothers and sisters. Finally everything worked out and I'm here," DJ explained. DJ's interests include writing, reading, people, music and good films. She also enjoys being teased because " i t shows people care." Debbie answered the question, " H o w do you treat a blind person?" this way: "Let them try to do everything on their own, but if you see they're going to blow it, don't be afraid to offer to help them."

mountains to begin the cattle industry in Oregon. Young also was the father of the timber industry; he owned the first sawmill in the state. On May 2, 1843 Oregon County came under the rule of the United States. This brought the settlers civil and military protection under a United States territorial government. In 1850, the Congress of the United States passed the Donation Land Law. This law stated that immigrants to the Oregon Territory, prior to December of 1850, were granted three hundred twenty acres of land, provided they would live on and cultivate it for four years. If the settler married before December 1, 1851 his wife could also obtain three hundred twenty acres. The law was later revised to benefit more settlers. Among settlers who claimed land under the revised law was the Parrett family. In 1853 the three Parrett brothers claimed adjoining plots on the rise east of Newberg now known as Parrett Mountain. In 1869 Sebastian Brutscher obtained the title "Postmaster" and opened an official United States Post Office in his home. An immigrant from Bavaria, he named his settlement "Newburgh" after his old home town. Brutscher s home was one mile east of the present town site. Early in the 1870's, William Hobson, a Midwestern farmer, felt the call of the Lord to establish a settlement of Quakers in Oregon. He first visited the Pacific Northwest in 1 8 7 1 , on a mission to "spy out the land." Finding no unconquerable difficulties, he returned in 1875, determined to select a definite location for the settlement. Hobson, personally interested in raising fruit, selected Newberg as the perfect site. The choice being made, he sent word back East, and Friends began the western migration to the new town. Quakers had not been in Newberg for many years before they felt the need for a school of higher education. Jesse Edwards, one of the settlers, donated land from one of his eighty acre fields for the building of Pacific Academy. Construction was begun in the spring of 1884, and the school opened for students in the fall of 1885. This original building stood on the present site of Newberg Friends Church. In 1891 the Academy grew into Pacific College and was relocated beside Hess Canyon. The first building on the new campus was Wood-Mar Hall. As the student body of Pacific College grew, new dorms and classrooms were built. In 1949, due to mix-ups with Pacific University and the University of the Pacific, Pacific College officially changed its name to George Fox College. Today, drawing on the past and looking to the future, George Fox College continues to grow and to shape the history of this area.

KOROMA COACHES
SOCCER TEAM
by Bob Johnson A new dimension in athletic competition is in the making at George Fox. Mark Halland, G.F.C trackman, has some great hopes and encouraging plans for starting a track club with a big focus on women's track and field events. "We had some real potential at Fox even last year," Halland says, "but with the other women's athletic programs already going on, Miss Brood had little time to work with any of the track minded girls." Mark has talked to a number of people about the idea of starting a club on campus, and he feels that with some assistance and cooperation from the athletic department, he is up for the job. There are a number of benefits which the track club would provide. On the individual level, the club would provide organized running and workouts for those girls who desire to merely keep in shape; it would also provide great opportunity for those seeking competition on a high level. Concerning the college, a well functioning track club, similar to the Falcon Club of Seattle Pacific College, could be a tremendous attraction for many girls and students not eligible to compete on the college team. Mark seems enthusiastic about the whole idea. He can see good potential and has already discussed the club with ten or fifteen interested people. Clubs like the Falcons have done a remarkable job with no college funding. Mark feels that with cooperation from the G.F.C. athletic department this newly conceived track club will be a great addition to the college's athletics.
A new perspective in sports is taking place on our sports fields. Merely turn your eyes to the practice field and you will see some very enthusiastic and interested soccer players. Using this year a completely new setup and organization, the soccer team is coached by student John Koroma. John is emphasizing team work on soccer techniques. The team is pleased with John's work. He really knows his way around a soccer ball! Jim Jackson, a three-year veteran of the game, adds helpful pointers to the rookies on the team. He will also be a prominent player this year and is expected to chalk up several points during the season. The team will continue to grow stronger as it prepares to meet other teams. And the team will be successful if it can gain the one element it lacks. And that lack is not from the team, but from the students. It is their lack of interest. When a single member or an entire team plays time after time without a single friend to back him from the sidelines, he becomes discouraged. The team's positive attitudes die; that is a sad end to1 a good team. This school does give its time to basketball, baseball, and track. It's about time adequate publicity was given the lesser sports. It isn't the school that gives a team the desire to win, it is you\
STRONG POTENTIAL: Women out for volleyball include, kneeling. Sheryl Bamett. Anita Armstrong, Donna Stull; standing, Shirley Bradley. Connie Woodridge, Elaine Rhodes, Jenise Johnson, Sherly Laughland. Not pictured is Kathy Williams.
Volleyballers O p e n Season ma, Washington are both sophomores out for their first year of action^ Coach Weesner says that she is quite impressed with the freshmen that have turned out so far. Jenise Johnson, Psychology/Sociology, and Elaine Rhodes, Education, come to George Fox from Sherwood, Oregon. Other Freshmen are Sheryl Laughland, a P.E. major from Placentia, California and Connie Woodrich from Rapelje, Montana. Nancy GathrigFt,~rhanager will be helping out the team with her past experience in volleyball in duties of various kinds. With only three practices behind them. Coach Weesner feels that they have shown more skill than past years. Another asset over past years is height, something that George Fox hasn't had much in the past.
Volleyball fever has hit George Fox College once again, thus opening the women's season with great anticipation. Out for the team are ten students very interested in making this season a success.

by Jeffrey Rickey What keeps going through rain, mud, sleet, and snow? The U.S. Postal Service you say? Maybe, but the GFC Cross Country team keeps going, not only through these elements, but all elements of Oregon weather. A gathering of ten fellows makes up this year's squad of determined athletes. Under a grueling practice schedule of up to three hours and fifteen miles per day, these men show their outstanding ability to accept and conquer hard work. Coach Gayle (Buck) Buckley says of this year's squad, " W e are a young team, but we are tough. We have a lot of great athletes that are really determined to make the grade. We are way ahead of last year talent-wise, and good things are happening. We will definitely be in it this year." And from the looks of the team. Buck is right! Returning runners are Curt Ankeny, who is undoubtedly the strongest, Eb Buck, and Dave Hamilton. The team also includes some sprinters turned Cross Country runners in Cliff McCurdy and Matt Heathco and also Ken Lillie who doubles as a pole vaulter in the spring. New faces include Jon Bletscher, Tim Schwanke, Jeff Lindquist, and Les Keele, all good runners. The team has a good schedule with good competition. They are meeting some strong schools, but -by the looks of it, they will be holding their own. You say you've never seen the Cross Country team? They are easy to recognize. Just look for a long line of fellows, running, with determination written all over their faces. Discipline, determination, and hard work is the game; the GFC Cross Country team is the name.
