You, the Class of 1945, are the first to have your graduation excercises forced out of season by the war-time accelerated program. The weather may not be as pleasant as a sunny June day; the crowd may not be as large; the general atmosphere of excitement may not be as noticeable; and the follow­ ing months will not be a period of vacation, a time to rest the mind, exercise the body, and ripen both.

While your country is at war, you must expect to make sacrifices. The privations you have had to endure are negligible indeed. Your college life has been noticeably affected by the war. Extracurricular activities have been sharply curtailed. Many of you have been forced to spend your spare time working instead of getting full enjoyment from college life.

The necessity of covering more material in less time has kept you at your desks burning midnight oil.

But all these things are mere scratches on the surface. They cause slight discomfort and incon­ venience now, but they will leave no scars on you; for you have not been deprived of the inestimable benefits of a Christian environment. You have had every opportunity to get out of your years at North­ western the one thing needful. You have been per­ mitted to continue your preparation for the noblest work there is, the winning and shepherding of souls for the Kingdom of God. Nothing else matters.

—Jerome Albrecht.

ENGLISH ORATION The Story of The English Bible Since 1603 %

MARCUS ALBRECHT

Newspaper reports during the last year have announced a forthcoming new revision of the entire Bible by a group of leading Protestant scholars. The New Testament is already in the printersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; hands and would be published immediately, were it not for the paper shortage. Naturally anticipation among scholars and Christians in general is widespread, since the need for a new standard translation has been felt for half a century.

With this interest in the new revision comes a consequent desire to know not only about the attempts of the past fifty years but also to know about that masterpiece of translation, the King James Version, which most new translations tend to supplant. Many people think it should not be displaced in the churches of today, since it is admittedly the product of the greatest literary age in English history, the age of Shakespeare and Spenser, Bacon and Hooker, Jonson and Hakluyt, and many others. It was an age that showed a fulness of the 4

RED times. Beside the blossoming of a colorful variety of writers and scholars, there was a definite need and demand for a new translation. The Geneva Bible, full of Calvinistic notes, was too popular. The Rhemish New Testament, a Catholic transla­ tion, was becoming too popular, and the Bishops’ Bible, pro­ duced by English scholars, was not popular enough. Something had to be done. And into this situation stepped a new king, James I, a man with a theological education and an interest in things religious. Soon after his accession to the throne in 1603 he called a conference of his churchmen at Hampton Court, and during the course of the meeting he told them, “I have never yet seen a Bible well translated into English, and the worst of all ... is the Genevan.” His church leaders heartily agreed, and plans were laid for a new work.

But because the King’s skin-deep ardor soon cooled, it was not until 1607 that the scholarly machinery was ready for operation. Forty-seven men, the leaders of learning from Cambridge and Oxford, were appointed to the task and began it.

The group was divided into six committees, each having a separate portion to translate. All the committee translations then were gone over by one master committee, which in 1611 after four years of labor presented The Holy Bible... translated out of the original tongues: and with the formed' translations diligently compared and revised, by his Majesty’s special command. The world was given the so-called Author­ ized Version or King James Version.

This new Bible is properly not a new translation but rather a revision of revisions. It was based upon a revision of the Bishop’s Bible. This was a revision of the Great Bible. In turn, the Great Bible was a revision of Matthew’s Bible, and Matthew’s Bible was a combination of the work of Tyndale and Coverdale, two pioneer translators, both of whom leaned heavily on Luther the reformer and especially on Luther the translator. From these two men comes most of the Authorized Version. In fact, ninety per cent of the New Testament of the King James Version is taken directly from Tyndale’s translation.

In spite of the utmost care the Authorized Version was from the outset bedeviled by printers* errors. The two impressions of the first edition were known as the Great He Bible and the Great She Bible because one rendered Ruth 3:15 as “He 5

赛RED went into the city” and the other "She went into the city.”

There were so many errors that in 1615 a new edition was published, but errors still kept cropping up, the most notorious one being in 1631, when the word not was forgotten in the Sixth Commandment. This Bible was immediately called the Wicked or Adulterous Bible. Even as late as 1717 when a printer by the name of John Baskett issued a large, beautifully printed Bible with copperplate illustrations, there were many mistakes. In this edition in the headline to Luke 20 the word for vineyard, and consequently this Bible vinegar was printed _ was known as the Vinega/r Bible or in allusion to the printer’s name, the Basketful of Errors. Finally in 1762 Dr. Thomas Paris of Trinity college, Cambridge, prepared an edition almost free from printers，mistakes and with modernized spelling and punctuation. This edition was used for many years.

But all these little errors did not keep the King James Version from being the Bible of the English-speaking world for almost three centuries. Its simple, majestic language, its directness and force of utterness, its rhythmic grandeur and reverential and spiritual tone have brought it close to the in­ comparable originals. The stamp of approval of millions upon millions of readers from all classes of society was sufficient for it to crowd out all other English translations and to become, much like Luther’s in Germany, a true Volksbuch.

Yet as time rolls on, language changes. After two and a half centuries had passed, men began to see the need for a new translation. Much progress had been made in the knowledge of the original Hebrew and Greek texts and in Biblical scholar­ ship. By the end of the nineteenth century many new manu­ scripts had been found, so that modern texts were.very close to the originals. In 1611 they had only Esramus’ Greek New Testament, which was textually quite shaky. In Hebrew there was not as much progress, but men like Gesenius and Kautzsch had made advances that contributed much to a clearer under­ standing of that language.

But even if Biblical scholarship had stood still, a new translation would have become necessary. Language lives; it is constantly changing, new words appear, old ones die, others :just change in meaning. In the Authorized Version there are many obsolete words like wimple, pygarg, flux, thrum, wryed.

6

RED There are many obsolete and foreign phrases like covenant of salt for friendly agreement, cleanness of teeth forfamine, and so on. Then there are phrases entirely misunderstood like the one in Genesis 2:18, “I will make him a help meet for him,” which means “I will make him a helper suitable for him.” But be­ cause of the strange word order we got the new compound word helpmate. Folk etymology has sought to explain this unusual combination as ‘‘one who helps to make ends meet.”

Often one finds a careless inconsistency in the rendering of the same original word. In Acts 23 fF. Claudius Lysias writes a letter but by the time it gets to Caesarea it is given to Governor Festus as an epistle and he reads it again as a letter. This in­ decision on the part of the translators is confusing and too frequent.

But the best reason for translation lies not in the many obsolete words nor in the incorrect, misleading or inconsistent renderings but rather in the subtle shifts of meaning the many hidden changes that a living language, like a living body, undergoes with the passing of time. Language is not a static thing but partakes of every phase of the times and reflects its changes. There are different types of changes but notably these. Words change from the physical, concrete, and literal to the spiritual, moral, and figurative. Some words degenerate in meaning, others gain in stature, some narrow, others broaden, words grow stronger and weaker, and some even change completely in meaning. Examples of all these word developments can be found in great number if one examines his King James Bible. To give only a few: silly in the Authorized Version, means harmless. Compare that with today’s meaning. Bowels mean compassion and college means north part of Jerusalem, conceit means opinion, fret means devour, and fame means report, convince means convict, offend means be a hindrance to, allow means to praise, by and by means immediately, virtue means physical poive?\ And so one could continue.

These considerations then, that vast materials had finally been accumulated for the correction and translation of the Hebrew and Greek originals and that the King James Version had become somewhat antiquated, resulted in a demand that could no longer be denied. Although nearly a hundred new 7

RED

'，

translations had been published since 1611, none came into popular use. An authoritative revision was needed.

Finally in 1870 Dr. Wilberforce, Bishop of Winchester, and others proposed a motion before the Convocation of Canterbury to appoint a committee to look into the advisability of a complete revision of the Authorized Version. The committee brought in a favorable report and the motion became action. A new group was chosen that was to be “at liberty to invite the cooperation of any eminent for scholarship, to whatever nation or religious body they may belong.” This they did, and the work became a cooperative enterprise undertaken by sixtyseven leading British and thirty-four American scholars.

After working more than six times as long as it had taken the King James editors, they presented a New Testament transla­ tion to the public on May 17, 1881. It shook the Englishspeaking world. Within the first year 3,000,000 copies had been sold. The Chicago Tribune and the Chicago Times printed the whole New Testament in their issues on May 21, 1881, even having 118,000 words telegraphed directly from New York. No book in the world’s history had ever been accorded such immedi­ ate acclaim. Comments adverse and favorable were tabletalk everywhere. Four years later the Old Testament appeared and in 1895 the Apocrypha.

But the Revised Version proved to be a very conservative revision. All radicalism was eliminated at the outset by a set of rigid rules: to introduce only such changes as were absolutely necessary on account of meaning, to accept no textual changes except by a two-thirds majority, and to adhere as far as possible to the language of the King James Version.

While the translating was going on, it became evident that there was quite a difference of opinion between the American and British revisers. Although more than a thousand sugges­ tions by the Americans had been incorporated into the text, the more important ones were given only honorable mention in an appendix. Furthermore, the Westcott and Hort text was not published until 1880, and so it was not used in the British revision, although the two men were on one of the committees.

The use of many distinctly English terms also offered hindrance to the revision’s acceptance in America. For these reasons the American Committee, headed by Dr. Philip Schaff, continued 8

RED its work, and in 1901 they produced the American Revised Version.

Both the British and American revisers made some fortunate changes. They modernized the spelling and punctua­ tion, removed most of the errors and obscurities, and in general strove for clearness and exactness. They arranged the prose portions in paragraphs and the poetry in proper verse form.

Both versions are quite an improvement in literal accuracy and intelligibility. However from the viewpoint of literary value they both stagger. One critic has said that the revisers knew too much about the dead languages and not enough about the living.

Ever since William Tyndale all the versions that gained any popularity were revisions of the material gathered before­ hand. It was not until modern times that new translations direct from the originals were granted popular currency. Many modern translations have been made, notably the Moffat Bible, Weymouth’s New Testament, the Twentieth Century New Testament, Ballantine’s Riverside New Testament, and even the New Testament in Basic English. All of these are translations into the modern idiom. They strive mainly for clearness and simplicity, so that modern man can read all of the Bible in his own language. Moffat’s Bible and Weymouth’s New Testament are perhaps the best of this group because of their freshness and naturalness and because of their sensible format.

But it was not until 1931 that the American people had their own Bible in the American language. In that year there came from the presses An Ammcan Translation. The New Testament, originally published in 1923 by Prof. Edgar Goodspeed of the University of Chicago, and the Old Testament, originally published in 1927 by a committee of four under the editorship of Prof. J. M. Powis Smith, also of Chicago, were combined in this one book. The idea of the Bible in American English seemed so presumptuous and revolutionary that it be­ came front page news and provoked much editorial comment.

After people began to read it, the blatant criticism died down.

The language used is clear idiomatic American English. A comparison with the Authorized Version will show the exact­ ness and flexibility, the beauty and charm of this translation.

It has a fine paragraph arrangement, and it is based on the 9

ii RED most recent critical texts and papyri discoveries. It is the best available modern English translation of the Bible. But it is in­ formal and has not captured the dignity and sonorousness of the King James Version. Many on that account would hesitate to use it in the churches where the simple majesty of the old Bible still carries a special message to believers.

And yet translations since the time of King James have not been in vain, for the Bible is the story of God and man. In it every emotion and every thought of man and the incompre­ hensible manysidedness of God picture themselves. It is an overpowering panorama of life. It is the key to life. Without it everything becomes nothing. With it everything has mean­ ing. It is a message for all men, and so no effort is too great to put that message, couched so beautifully in the original tongues, into every language so that it will be clear to everyone in every generation.

Perhaps we should never again expect such an harmonious and fluid pouring out of thoughts and rhythm and sound from one language into the other as we have it in the King James translation. And we certainly should not expect it until we restore the Bible in all its truth to its proper pedestal above all else. But we always live in hope, and so we welcome transla­ tions from competent men. We read them when we want the exact meaning of the Scriptures. But when we want to catch the grandeur and tone of the originals, we still turn to the masterpiece, the King James Version.

5IR.ED A BEAUTY AND THE BEASTS “We might speak perfumed and saccharine words about this class of 1945; we might become vitriolic and invective.

But in either case we would be tingeing the picture with too unwholesome a subjectivity.’’ We shall, however, endeavor to present each member as he exists. But putting all bombast, pretentious styles and fustian aside, we shall use common every­ day English, ere it become necessary for the reader to haul out his lexicon to decipher these component involutions.

Should these sketches seem rather vague, don’t blame the writers or those we have sketched. Out of supreme patriotism for Uncle Sam and for the B. & R. treasury we must save paper.

We also add in these introductory remarks that all the members of this class, with three exceptions, plan to attend the Seminary at Thiensville, Wisconsin.

MARCUS IMMANUEL ALBRECHT President

"I might speak perfumed and saccharine words about this . . . ; I might become vitriolic or invective, but in either case I would be tingeing the picture with too unwholesome a subjectivity,” Mark is a product of the Academy at Mobridge, South Dakota. From the land where the sagebrush and cacti grow hails this gentleman—Bowdle, South Dakota, to be specific.

The adjective, sage, speaks for his scholastic record. The fact that he will deliver the English Oration speaks for his diligent studying. His sobriquet, Sam, goes back to Sim, and then to the Bible. Sam possesses a way of combing his hair, without covering his eyes, which is peculiar to him alone. Is he touchy, or is he not touchy, that is the question. His policies as Editor of the Black and Red were challenged by some, but he had an answer for everything. He has been very active in music, and sports aren’t foreign to him. He has been president of his class for three years and automatically president of the student body during his senior year. Perhaps that accounts for his title, “The Little Dictator.” Keep up the fine work, Marcus.

赛RED WINFRED BENDIX NOMMENSEN Vice-President

It takes but a few words to describe a great man, but I don’t want to slight anyone. A tall, blond athlete from Juneau, Wisconsin. During his eight years at Northwestern he has participated in all the sports; he has been equally active in music and in the Classics. His congenial character makes him a friend of all, preps as well as collegiates. Not out of flattery, but out of sincere, lavish approbation we must confess that it will be extremely difficult to find another all around man like him. Then, too, Coach doesn’t have many more hair that he can pull out. Yes, we will miss you an awful lot, Nommie.

HERMAN WILLIAM WINKEL, JR. Secretary

Wink, true to Milwaukee, has that rotund, protruding ^Mil­ waukee Front,” which aids him in many ways. The co-eds have a special nickname for him. His room interested him a lot, but he has a superior interest on Western Avenue, which we should perhaps call his compound interest. This paradoxical interest is both his ‘‘King’’ and queen. Contrary to the custom of most seniors, he never misses breakfast. His line and voice have always been conspicuous. He should be able to make himself heard in the largest churches. I’m sure we shall see him in Watertown a lot. They are waiting for you at the Sem, Wink. Now ex-member of the B. & R. staff and Sports Editor, farewell.

HILDEBERT PAUL BAUER A native of South Dakota, H. P. started on his career at Mobridge. He later transfered to New Ulm, whose prep de­ partment now proudly claims him as a product. There, after several attempts, he made the discovery. Strangely enough, ever since then he has signed his name H. Paul. He’s now an honorary member of the One-a-Day-to-New Ulm Letter Society.

Sometimes Uncle Sam gets his wires crossed and for a day the club is in a very dejected mood. It’s best to keep your distance then. Summer school couldn’t have come at a better time. A trip to Two Rivers now and then was like pouring oil on a raging 15

RED sea. Maybe H. Paul never says very much but he does have a mind of his own. I class him as the strong and silent type.

He，s a hard worker, very conscientious, and a deep thinker.

GIDEON HELMUTH BECKER “0, Give Me Land, Lots of Land” is his theme song.

Perhaps the fact that he comes from Circle, Montana, explains a lot, particularly why he is so sharp in mathematics, especially in geometry. Many students wish to express their gratitude to him for his fine service as a sandwich shagger. He candidly admits that he doesn’t feel he can improve Luther’s translation of the Old Testament. Much of the success at Northwestern in athletics is attributed to his capable managing. Some fellows remember him as a successful cattle raiser and have made him “The Trust Fund of The West” You will be remembered as a regular fellow, Gideon.

GERALDINE M. BOELTER Maybe I’m copying from my predecessor a bit, but I’m of the opinion that Miss Boelter is perhaps the only female ever to graduate from the Normal department of Dr. Martin Luther College and the Collegiate department of Northwestern College.

That puts her right up there with P. Nolting. I was about to delve into some of her life at New Ulm, but then that’s too well known the way it is. We surmise from some of her remarks that she is quite well read. From a reliable source I learned that she reads practically one book a day. The fact that she taught grade school for five years seems to have caused her to look upon all students as grade-school students. We are college students, Geraldine. She just wouldn’t divulge her middle name. Perhaps it’s Mabel. Some of the boys started a cam­ paign “Geraldine for Campus Queen”，which goes to show that we did enjoy her stay.

MILTON WALTER BURK This gentleman spent six years at Concordia College, Mil­ waukee, then attended the Lutheran Seminary in St. Louis, Missouri, and came here for his senior year. He is quite a Hebrew student and comes from that section of Milwaukee which is peculiar to such fellows. He believes in throwing the 16

RED lance freely. His coordination and ease as a baseball player and as a basketball player will not soon be forgotten. Many fellows admire his fine head of hair, and his congenial smile is very becoming. So long, Burk.

PHILEMON GODFREY HENSEL Phil came to us directly from the University of Wisconsin.

He was immediately taken under the wing of the Little Dictator.

We feared the worst. Phil, however, wouldn’t take a back seat and soon was the dominating power. He’s an ardent ad­ mirer of art and does a little at times himself. For the infor­ mation of all readers of the Black and Red, he should have the credit for those beautiful cover designs. One never sees Phil floating around the dorm much. He’s usually sitting at his desk doing something. His imagination is always at work. He is partially responsible for the “modified Northwestern Lutheran” which Mark is supposed to have made out of the B. & R. ROBERT HENRY HOCHMUTH Big Bob Hochmeier of West Allis, after spending six years at Concordia College, Milwaukee, enrolled at Northwestern as a junior. He enjoys a bull session and plays his part well, particularly when he discusses defense plants. His big, barrel chest is attributed to his boxing career. He developed his thundering voice here, because he noticed that the cheering at our athletic contest is weak. He is fascinated by names and and says that “Esther” is the pleasantest of them all. He be­ queaths his Sitzfleisch to Bob Kleist.

JOHN GERALD HOENECKE The cocky little chick from Sturgis runs true to Michigan form. He’s small but manages to make himself heard. He’s one of those fellows that usually run around with something busted一fingers, wrist, teeth. It took about six months to fix those teeth. Going down to the dentist was like drinking a malted to Chick. Finally the flash in the pan became a reality. It’s good Wiedmann did the damage; otherwise poor Grandpa Hoenecke would have had to dig again. After working in the foundry for half a year, he emerged as “moulder Hoenecke.”

Occasionally he has been seen on the basketball floor the last 17

H

?RED two years. Age has been working on Chick too. He’s been getting a bit pudgy which he blames on starch. Anyway it resuited in another nickname, “Butterball.” If ever anyone wishes to know anything about the Saginaw Building Project, just ask Chick.

ROLAND ALVIN KELLING Roland “Doe” Kelling is a queer duck, hard to figure out.

He has his troubles with Hebrew but still has turned out some good material for the Black and Red the two years he attended Northwestern. His first two years of college were spent at Concordia, Milwaukee, since Roland hails from Wauwatosa.

Where he got the nickname “Doc” is a mystery. “Doc” him­ self claims it just *'evolved by the evolutionary process.”

Week-ends you seldom find him at school. He’s putting in some overtime elsewhere. She happens to be Prof. Fleischer’s niece.

During the week he writes a letter a day at least, but then he is but one of many. I haven’t the slightest idea what anybody could write a letter a day about. They must have a vivid im­ agination or else, Oh Ferdinand!

LUTHER DANIEL KOLANDER This is Ajax of Marathon, commonly called Lou. His nick­ name is traced to Lou Gehrig. During his eight years here he has been as interested in the sports as in the Classics. His conservative speech leads many to believe that he is the quiet, self-concerned type. This is not entirely true, because there were consecutive nights when the charms of Athene led him out to observe nature. Departing from Bolt he journeyed to Bernice. He plans to spend a year at D. M. L. C., New Ulm, Minnesota, and become a parochial school teacher. We would like to see more of you, Lou. JOHN CARL JESKE Six years at Concordia, Milwaukee, one at St. Louis, and his senior year at Northwestern. We shall never forget his perfect coordination on the ball diamond and his aggressive, flare-up basketball playing. He has had the blessing of having been a P. K. in Milwaukee all his life and spent some of his time speaking Hebrew in the parsonage. He has a profound interest in the directing of the W. H. S. Chorus. His class­ mates speak of him as a lover of nature. I remember him as the man with that “deep brown voice.”

18

RED HENRY ALBERT WILLIAM LANGE, JR. “Bishop,” the pride and joy of 1111N. 48th St” Milwaukee, also came to us from Concordia, Milwaukee. Lange is deliberate of thought, slow of speech, easy-going all around. At times he isn’t quite regular. But Lange is no fool. He is just as conscien­ tious as the next fellow and in some instances even more so.

Poor “Bishop” has taken a kicking around, but you have to hand it to him—he really can take it. He was dubbed “Bing” soon after his arrival. Later as a parrallel to the "Campus Queen,” the slogan “Bing for Campus King” was voiced about.

I really don’t know what happened to the campaign. Since no one dared run again3t him, I’m sure he won out. One thing Bing is sure of is classical music. He’ll identify any strain as to title and composer. Good luck to you, Bing.

JOHN PETER SCHAADT After going to a home town school for four years at Flint, Michigan, John came to Northwestern, an obscure man, but soon turned into a minor professor. Many a person will remem­ ber the happy hours he spent under the tutelage of John P. Schaadt, professor of First Aid or “How to Keep Death from the Dying.M All he ever charged was an apple, an orange, or a banana. Only thing that was annoying is the way P. Schaadt would announce at dinner, ‘‘First Aid in room so and so,” the way only P. Schaadt could. After all these years as professor of First Aid, it has been rumored that John tried to join the Red Cross Women’s Auxiliary but flopped out. He did a good job as Alumni editor for the Black and Red. We always looked forward to his monthly visit.

LOREN ADALBERT SCHALLER More praise for Western Wisconsin. One of the fans at a recent basketball game, seeing Lorrie dribbling the ball said, "Say, that’s that flashy tennis player from Tomah.’’ Besides being something of an athlete, he possesses a rare sense of humor. He has certainly evidenced it in the Campus and Class­ room column, and now we have to look at his fine name out of the corner of our eyes. He doesn’t just restrict himself to school activities, though. Right now he is contriving to change 19

RED the D，s. Many enjoy his clear voiced German-English accent.

Despite the fact that he spent his first three years in public high school, he is going to deliver the German Oration, “All great men are dying, and I don’t feel well myself.”

LEONARD ROBERT SCHMIDT Here is one fellow that disproves the theory that physical and mental labor just don’t mix. Schmidt lives on a farm about four miles north of Watertown. It’s a pretty classy place too, they tell me. Most of the work is done by Leonard himself.

He gets up before 5 o’clock and starts to milk, does all the chores and makes it in time for morning chapel at 8:00. If you should happen to see a ’39 Ford streaking down College Avenue at one minute to eight, that’s Schmidt. That car has been put to many uses. It used to run down town for ham sandwiches around fourth period in the morning. Then it also faithfully followed the thirsty seniors all over the campus the day they raked the leaves last fall. Schmidt at last realized his one secret ambition. Don’t think, however, that Schmidt doesn’t get his class work done. A person that does all the work he does and still is well prepared for classes isn’t ignorant. I wonder how far a man like Schmidt could go if he stopped tearing around and really got serious.

LOYAL LEROY SCHROEDER Quite a good student they say, rich in alliteration. He comes from Whitehall, Wisconsin, They call him Kratz. The German verb kratzen means to scratch. In English we speak of scratching a name off a list; in politics it means to substitute for; hence to scratch off or kratz off means to die. His class­ mates began to call him this when he desisted from sports. We remember him as a student, not as a book-worm; as a serious, tranquil], composed gentleman. He occasionally lets himself have some fun and has a mania for bells. Some consider him to be a politician. If you observe him closely you will say that 只rass doesn’t grow on a busy street. I’m sure his sincerity will be a definite asset to him in the ministry. His two years of service on the B. & R. staff are already history.

20

RED JOHN ARNOLD WESTENDORF Where should a man start—at the beginning or at the tail end. He’s had his nose in all over. Occasionally Westy tries his hand at poetry. As an artist he’s second only to Jack Varga. Last summer he did life guard duty at the Municipal Swimming Pool. Every time he went off the high dive, they had to refill the pool. Directing traffic under the name of Dorfman is his specialty. You couldn’t call him corpulent, but he does carry his reserve right with him. He would gladly lend you a dime; that is, if you lend him a quarter first. Westy is late for everything. The only time he makes an honest effort to be on time is when the bell rings for dinner. The night hawk must be a model character since Westy had made him his ideal. As fire chief you never did get around to writing that editorial, Westy.

THE REV. RUDOLF WOYKE Another son of the soil makes good. Mr. Woyke was born on a farm near Windom, Minnesota, but at the age of fifteen he moved to Minneapolis. There he did architectural drawings by day and attended high school at night. In 1936 he graduated from the Northwestern Bible School in Minneapolis. He com­ pleted his training at the German Baptist Seminary at Rochester, New York, in 19b9 and served a parish at Washburn, North Dakota. The same year he was taken out of circulation by one Margot Bauer and has since been blessed with two children.

In 1942 he accepted the call to Watertown, Wisconsin, and now carries on the work of the Lord in the local Baptist church, located on the corner of 5th and Dodge. His thirst for know­ ledge induced him voluntarily to enroll as a student in our classical course in the fall of 1942. He certainly deserves a lot of credit for doing two full-time jobs at once and doing both well. He’s been a regular fellow. Around the campus he’s known as Butch. We’ve tried to make him feel at home. I don’t know whether he plans to farther his studies elsewhere or not. Whatever his plans are, I’m sure he’ll succeed.

A SHORT HISTORY OF THE GRADUATING CLASS On September 6, 1937, twenty-two students enrolled as sextaners in the preparatory department. As each year passed, our class decreased in size, losing twelve members of the original sexta class and adding only two new members, Schaller and Matthias, to the high-school class which graduated in June, 1941.

Twenty-nine students entered Northwestern College in Sep­ tember, 1941, as freshmen. Those who joined our class then and are still with us include Albrecht and Becker from Mobridge; Bauer from D. M. L. C.; Hoenecke and Westendorf from Michigan Lutheran Seminary; and Schaadt from Flint (Michigan) Northern High.

During the next three years, while losing over half of the original freshman class, we gained Rev. Woyke from Watertown; Hensel from the University of Wisconsin; Hochmuth, Kelling, and Lange, graduates of Concordia, Milwaukee; Burk and Jeske after having spent a year at St. Louis Seminary; and Geraldine Bocltcf, a graduate of the Normal Department of D. M. L. C. and a paro­ chial school teacher for the last few years.

This graduating class of twenty is the first to be affected by the war-time acceleration program. May each one, with the help of God, fulfill his calling.

LITERARY II G. I. IN THE E. T. O.

by FREDERIC KOSANKE

An account of the experiences of Tom Nickels, ex *47, now a member of General Hodges’ First Army. The material was gath­ ered from letters to a classmate.

You'd never guess it—neither did I—but here I am on the Briny Deep. We’ve been out for quite a number of days now and have hopes of landing in a few more days; they saw some gulls this morning, so land must be near. Yesterday at sunset we saw a beautiful double Rainbow during a brief shower. It seemed wonder­ ful to see something we hadn’t already seen a thousand times before.

Now we’re “Somewhere in England.” It seems good to be off llic boat now and on dry ground again. I was very much sur­ prised at the beauty of this country, the clean and general well-kept appearance.

Things do move swiftly these days—about this time you’re get­ ting my mail from England and thinking of me as being there—but ]’m here in France <,Somewhere.s, Things here are older, but as far as beautiful scenery goes, it’s much better than some of our middle west states. It’s getting near time to make another raid on the kitchen, but before I leave I’ll describe my little Villa here amid the cows, bees, spiders and hedgerows in Beautiful France: “Liberte, Egalit e, Frateniite.M I hav-e dug a slit-trench, a little longer than I’m t;tall, about fifteen inches deep and two and a half feet wide. The bottom is lined with straw, one blanket is draped from one side to the other over the straw and dirt walls; over this I pitch my shelter-half, and there you have a modern “prefabricated iionie!” (At least one way to avoid hotel bills!)

Belgium. This is really a beautiful little country. It reminds me a lot of Wisconsin, everything is so nice and green and the cities are so colorful. I saw women washing their sidewalks and the fronts of their houses. The cafes all look shining and freshly painted.

Germany. We are not allowed to associate with these people at all, not even to say “Good Morning.” Of course one would be a fool to be too friendly with them, after having to fight their sons and fathers, but nevertheless one feels sorry for the little kids who must stay in this thing with no place to go. I’m glad it’s here we fight, and not in the States.

We are back a way from the front now, resting up from recent “business.” I’ve learned to love old mother earth, and mud, 25

RED too; a good many times already it wasn’t considered wise to stick your head up. Last night we really had a high old time. We sang songs till we were hoarse. One of the fellows can play the fiddle, another (beside myself) the guitar, and one fellow played a cello like a bass fiddle. And then we sang—I thought the blackouts on the windows would fly off, there was so much noise.

Not all the civilians remain when we come, because the Ger­ man soldiers tell the people that we’ll kill them. When we first come to a house we see a white flag outside, and the people will come to the door with their hands up. Sometimes they’re pretty scared and cry at first, but when they see we don’t do anything but look the place over they offer us things to eat and drink, and try to co-operate with us as best they can. Sometimes one can speak Eng­ lish and that makes it easier for them to understand us. However, it’s different than in France and Belgium. There we were friends and liberators, but here we are conquerors, or invaders. Relations are rather strained.

I wish that you could hear or be present at one of our church services here in Germany. Let me give you a little picture of this morning’s service. As we trudged down a muddy road with peeps and trucks splashing past us. rifles on our shoulders, some with pistols slung around their waists, in the distance the thud of our artillery rumbling like thunder, I thought, what a contrast, to be going to church with guns, while back in the States people are dressed in clean suits, walking or riding on clean pavement to a real church, whereas we go to an old school building. The windows of course were broken out and some of the tiling on the roof had been, damaged. The room which we enter has double scats and desks which reminded me of my four years at Northwestern. Since the seats were all filled the rest of us sat on our helmets by the wall and looked at the little pamphlet they handed out to us with the hymn and song books at the door. After a minute a tall man with olive drab pants, a field jacket and boots entered the room and lit the two candles on each side of the little silver cross on the altar.

He put a long scarf-like drape around his neck, letting it hang down in front of .him to resemble a robe. The service then was similar to any other in form, without any organ or chorus, of course. The chaplain was preaching of Christ’s second coming and how at that time he would come in all his power and glory to judge this world —Boom Boom—the room was trembling with the concussion from our artillery blazing away at the enemy. We all involuntarily flinched at the noise; no sermon could be more impressing; the guns went off at just the appropriate moment as if God himself had entered into our room, and it made one think and feel the power of Him and realize our inability, our weakness without Him. The wind blew thru the broken windows ancl one of the tall white candles went out as we stood in prayer.

26

RED You know, when I think about being in Europe, in fact Ger­ many, a place we only thought of in terms of map s and history, it seems that this is a very, very small world, Just think, a little round globe of earth and water sailing tliru space; I’m on one side, you’re on the other. In only a few clays this letter will have traveled thru Belgium, France, perhaps England, across the Atlantic to New York，then by air to Chicago, to Milwaukee and our mailman slides it thru your door. Unfortunately I’m not a sheet of paper!

I happened to find a book of German poems and literature, and it was interesting to see some of the poems I so laboriously mcmorized. As I read them thru they almost sang in my ears as remember the fellows reciting them.

After being in four diff<erent countries here in Europe, namely, Kiiglaiid, France, Belgium and Germany, I’ve come to the conclu­ sion that the latter is just about the most up-to-date and wealthy.

Their homes arc much more like ours on the inside, with modern type furniture, stoves, rugs, tile or linoleum on the floor. Also al­ most all have modern shortwave radio sets that will pick up any station in Kuropc and New York, if weather permits. Of course, there aro lots of poor folks here, too, who live in humble circum­ stances, but it doesn't seem to me that there are near as many as in Belgium or France. At any rate, 110 country over here is anywhere near the United States; it seems our country is about ten or twenty years ahead.

Did vou ever watch the delicately pale smoke of a cigarette as it swirls and twists its way upward until it loses itself in the oblivion of the atmosphere ? Your mind and thoughts seem to glide along into the thin air of yesteryear, the unreality of the past and the uncertainty of the future. The strings of the heart try to play a merry lime, but are obscured by the minor refrain of the present, the crash of reality in an unreal world of confusion and strife.

“Why?” the soul cries out, and tries to comfort itself, saying, Just one more step and these fitful dreams will be gone.”

But still we strain our eyes for a glimpse of that goal. On and Oil we go, until the mist finally will lift from our eyes and the earth will be flooded in the warm sunshine: the trees will blossom.

All was not in vain; everything has its place, its purpose in Eternity.

When you mentioned the cigarette smoke I remembered what you were asking about. At the time I was sitting in the second story of a battered-up German house, watching the sun rise. The rays of light played on the blue smoke: the resulting effect on me you have seen. Needless to say, all this destruction hurts me, no matter where it is. I bate to see ruined homes, and worst of all, dead Gl’s and Jerries who will never come back. I only hope it will be over soon to end all this needless suffering, not only for the men on the lines, but also for their folks who are waiting at home.

RED TWO AUGUSTINIANS OF BRUSSELS

by PH. HENSEL

For the most part, A New Song tells its own story.

Henricus Voes and Johannes van den Esschen had joined the Augustinian Order in Brussels. Their inclinations to follow Luther’s teaching were bitterly met by the Catholic theologians at the University of Louen, and before long, it was demanded that the two young men, one eighteen years old, the other under thirty, recant or suffer the consequences. They chose to burn at the stake, and did so on July 1, 1525.

When Luther heard of the proceedings in Brussels, he was hard struck. The shock moved him to write a letter of comfort to the people of Brussels, and a song of triumph, called Em neues Lied, composed as a poetic monument to the dead martyrs.

The drift of both letter and song are the same. ‘‘But now has the time come again for us to hear the voice of the Turtle Dove, There are the and the flowers are springing up in our land, closing thoughts of his letter, put into verse in the final stanza of the hymn.

Because it is quite long, and because it has the nature of a ballad, the hymn lends itself not so well to congregational sing­ ing as it does to singing and memorizing in the schoolroom and at home, unless only the first and the last stanzas are sung.

In the melody, Luther wove together the warp and woof of some of the other battle-hymns, in tune and in rhythmic beat.

Traces of A Mighty Fortress, God the Father be our Stay, May God be Merciful to Us, and Now do we Pray God the Holy Ghost breathe through Ein neues Lied, Yet the melody keeps a brusque tone of its own. It is more happy-go-lucky than any of the other chorales, the kind of tune we like to whistle cantering down a flight of steps or along a country lane. If it is not too broad a stretch of the imagination, the singer can learn from this a fitting perspective in the midst of tragedy. Luther let the first few lines and the last stanza set the pace of his melody, instead of making a dirge of a theme of triumph over gainsayers, in this particular case, the Catholic sophists.

Who hath this wonder started, He surely will complete it.

28

RED A NEW SON0 On Two Martyrs of Christ Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the right­ eous, and say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.一 Matthew 23, 29-30.

A new song have we here begun!

Lord, bless our tune and banner!

To celebrate what God hath done To His own praise and honor.

In Brussels in the N^therland Through two youths He unfolded The wondrous might oJf His dread hand, Whom, when His gifts them moulded, So richly He did burnish.

The first one bore the name of John, In God’s good gifts full wealthy; Henry in faith with him was one, A man with no guilt filthy; Departed from this world, those twain, And won a crown in heaven, Like as the other Christians slain For being God’s Word’s leaven.

They are become His martyrs.

The Old Foe haled them into court; With threatenings long them frightened, And bade them to deny Goers Word; Through trick their tension heightened.

A horde of sophists from Louen, With their crafts, weak, yet ghoulish, He summoned to observe the fun.

The Spirit proved them foolish.

They could accomplish nothing.

Their tune was sweet, their tune was sour, They tried devices cunning.

The lads stood solid as a tower, Sophistic efforts shunning.

Thereat the Foe was sore irate 29

RED i !!:

That he had been thus bested By but two youths, and lie so great!

In his heart fury nested.

Alive he planned to burn them.

They robbed them of their cloister-garb; Annulled their sacred oaths then.

The lads were ready for that barb, And merrily said Amen.

To God the Father thanks they gave That they should soon be parted From pomp and show, wherewith the Knave Through false fronts he hard-hearted The world fools altogether.

This is a gift of God’s broad grace, That they were priestly warders.

To Him were offered in that place, And fought in Christian orders, Divorced from every worldly mien; Of hateful sham disposed they, To enter heaven free and clean; Swept monkhood out for all aye; Released from human bondage.

The Sophists wrote a little brief; Commanded them to read it.

Therein was written their belief, The faith the lads had heeded.

Their greatest error was this one: “On God put thy dependence, For man tells lies from sun to sun; Ne’er give his word attendance.”

For this they had to suffer.

Forthwith two roaring fires they lit, And brought the captives hither.

Then every man remarked at it, How neither youth did wither.

With gusto went they to their end, With singing and God’s praises.

That did the Sophists’ spirit rend, Stung by these novel phases, When God so showed His glory.

30

RED The scorn liatli made them rue the deed; They would have glossed it over.

They cannot boast what they decreed; They set it under cover.

The scandal at their hearts doth tear; ’Tis whispered o’er the table, Xo more the Spirit can forbear: “Spilled is the blood of Abel.

To Cain the finger pointetli.” 丁lie ashes will not well behave, They blow through all the country; Nor qucllcth them brook, hole, nor grave; This shames the Foe’s whole gentry.

Whom he in life by threat of death I I ad made suppress their lungs’ air, Those, dead, he m list upon the heath With all their throats’ and tongues* flare Permit to gaily sing away. 八n(l ycl llicir lying will not cease To beautify the slaughter.

Some false tale they together piece, Their conscience straitens tauter.

The saints of God e’en after death By them are further slandered.

"I'hey claim that with the last-drawn breath The lads, by torture bantered, Recanted their position.

Now let them have their well-earned rest!

They do not need our mourning.

We ought to pay God thanks with zest For His clear Word’s returning.

The summer is hard at the door, The winter hath departed, And tender blooms sprout from earth's floor: Who hath this wonder started, He surely will complete it!

Translated from the German of Martin Luther, 1523, by Ph. H.

RED THE HEATHEN IN HIS BLINDNESS

by ROBERT JOHNSTON

The heathen, in his blindness, gropes Along life’s winding way, Yet will not take that outstretched hand Which turns dark into day.

He will not see the one true God In flower, bird, and tree, Nor yet the gracious Jesus, Who died for you and me.

Yea, though he hears the Holy Word Pronounced by sons of God, Yet will not look upon the Lamb Nor lean on Aaron’s rod.

He wanders on, so unconcerned Of what the Lord has done, Not knowing peace with man, nor God, Nor what our Savior won.

For sinners, just as you and I, Who toil along that path, Sometimes forgetting Jesus’ death And the power of God’s wrath.

A Christian turns to Jesus, then, The example to mankind; On bended knee, with humble heart, He knows that here he’ll find

丨:

The only one to soothe that soul And calm that deep regret.

The heathen, too, could follow Him And find that light. But yet, The heathen, in his blindness, gropes Along life’s winding way, Yet will not take that outstretched hand Which turns dark into day.

ITH this issue the new staff assumes its duties, and, frankly, the outlook isn’t too pleasant. After November, about the time we should be in the swing of things, the next staff will take over, and during all the time that we are in control, we shall be financially restricted. The cost of publish­ ing the Black and Red has increased; our subscription and advertising rates have not. The consequent depletion of our treasury was inevitable.

But we won’t 】et these facts dampen our spirits. We shall do the best we can with the resources at our command.

RED Why Study Science? •• • 'HIS question has faced both students and professors during the latter years of this “Scientific age.’’ It is only to be expected that it should, for so long as science continues to walk forward, the question will persist and confront the learners and educators with a sincerer gravity.

I shall endeavor to treat the Scientific Survey Course, Social Science, and I shall also necessarily allude to mathe­ matics. But first permit me to make a direct quotation which is worthy of consideration, since it is so pertinent to the life of the Christian. “The Bible is God’s revelation of Himself in his Word. Nature is G)d’s revelation of Himself in His Work.

Theology is man’s interpretation of God’s Word. Science is man’s interpretation of God’s Work. If there is a conflict be­ tween theology and science, the fault is in man’s interpretation and not in God’s revelation.” I shall not dwell on this quota­ tion; instead, let it be food for thought as you peruse this article.

It is highly necessary that we deliberate on the role science plays in modern life. It is constantly about us. Whether we look at the car on the street, the train on the tracks, the lamp by our desk, or even the pencil on our desk, we see the applica­ tion of scientific discoveries to modern life. No one will deny that its achievements are great. Yes, home relationships, public health, social institutions, industrial problems, and foreign affairs are influenced in a vital way by them. Again I remind you that this expansion of science is a natural and yet Christian development out of the Renascence, man’s interpre­ tation of God’s work; of course this must be correctly under­ stood, by casting out the many false, erroneous and atheistic ideas.

You, too, if your mind is normal, agree with me this far, but now the question arises, how does this fit into the minister’s career? What need has he of being acquainted with it? That, my friend, is the hotly-contested question today. Ministers, most of them, admit that they contact scientific people. This is simply a consequential runner-out of their profession. They usually are one of the three highly educated men in their com­ munity, particularly in the small towns and in the rural areas.

34

RED The other two are the doctor and the lawyer. What they have learned from social science, laws, eeonomics, etc., this they have the opportunity of imparting to the laity. If they possess the constant fear of being ignorant concerning this subject in this age, they have one dark stripe against them already. Some ministers had courses in social science in high school, but they don’t want to be content with this limited knowledge; they don’t want young public school whippersnappers to say, “I wonder where that preacher went to school. Why, ma, you know he doesn’t know as much as I do.” It naturally follows that the minister will have scientific problems of his own also.

He will want a knowledge of science that is superior to the commoner’s, just as his knowledge of languages is superior to theirs. Yes, he will have as great a need, if not greater, to employ this knowledge as he has to use his languages. His Weltanschauung will also benefically have been broaded. But then there are those who argue that one can accumulate plenty of science by observing it as he walks down the street. These individuals may have accumulated enough, but' let us not forget that they are a select few. I once heard a professor ask his class, not during science class, “What is the cause of sleet?”

Surprisingly no one was very eager in venturing an explana­ tion. Wasn’t their daily obvervation acute enough? Others will say that by studying the classics, by reading history, etc” you get plenty of social science. I agree two-thirds of the way to this, but during the accelerated courses it is often impossible to devote much time to these secondary social conditions. I ask, “Wouldn’t it be much better to introduce a special course than illogically to try to teach two subjects during the language period?” There is the third group who will say that we do have science, but that it is too theoretical, that they want something practical: that to know that an engine is a four-cycle one won’t help them to clean out the gasoline line, that to know that water boils at 212 degrees fahrenheit won’t help them to repair a broken radiator. You, third party, are ready for the third part of my article.

We must consider studying science and obtaining paying results from this labor. Dr. Luther once said, “For my part, if I had children and could accomplish it, they should study not 35

RED only the languages and history, but singing, instrumental music, all of mathematics, including our meager knowledge of science. For what is all this but mere child’s play? In these branches the Greeks in former times trained their children, who grew up into men and women of wondrous ability, skilled in every pursuit. How I regret that I didn’t have this oppor­ tunity.” That Luther, in his day, saw the need of the sciences thus cannot be denied. How much greater isn’t the need of them today? He realized that the exactness required in answer­ ing scientific questions sharpens the mind and strives toward mental alertness. He knew how a correct understanding of them would beneficially help mold and develop the Weltan­ schauung. This striving toward broadmindedness helps to rid one of being biased. It frees one from superstition and prejudice. In other words, it should try to influence sig­ nificantly the beliefs, philosophy, behavior, and attitudes of the future citizens of our democracy.

In a course on Man and His Physical Universe, the in­ structor must be on his guard to prevent his course from degenerating into mere verbalism. Such an impression often was left on me after I left an hour of lecturing. Usually the exactness required in such a course is something foreign to the average student. Therefore, the instructor must always be patient. If he notices a lack of interest on the student’s part, or a failure to answer his questions, perhaps it would be well for him to put himself before the mirror, to see if he can’t be more explicit, to revamp his method somewhat, to make his students voicers of opinions as well as hearers. I would even go so far as to say that open candidness on the student’s part must be expected in such a course. The student must be permitted to exercise his judgment. Satisfyingly related facts which are not pertinent to the problem under discussion must be included. Yes, you want the theory, bnt you want the practical application, too. *'Learning is half the job; application of what you know is the other half.” In this manner the learner’s ability to reason is developed; his attitude is also developed.

Other ministerial schools have quite an extensive science course. They are already convinced of the importance of this branch of learning. The fruit of their labor if being evinced 36

RED in this day and age. If we continue in our haphazard way concerninpr science, perhaps some day we will, to our own sorrow, have to confess that we have fallen far behind other institu­ tions. Our young ministers will have to suffer the results of a highly classical course that has overlooked the importance of science. Then I ask, “Who is going to accept the guilt for having avoided an up-to-date, completer course in the sciences?”

Life’s Game ...

S one looks back to his short-lived past, as his dreams carry A him back over the days since early childhood, there are certain monumental events which first catch the eye of memory.

These mark the clays of our lifetime which seem most dear and im­ portant to us. These form a pattern of the environment, the training, and the forces which have molded us. It is a picture which is like to a golf course. Along the way there are flags, some in close order, others barely visible in the distance. They are connected by fairways, some smooth and unobstructed, others hazardous. Each flag marks a green, a goal. Close by each one is a tee-off turf from which a new drive is made. On this, life’s course, the flags are also marked: an awakening; a joy; a fortune; a fall; a love; a sorrow; a chastisement; a service; a graduation. And if the player on this course is serious in his game, he will also own a scorecard, one on which there is no opportunity for cheating, because conscience is the marker.

For some of us another goal has been reached; another flag is about to be raised on a new green. It is left to each member of our graduating class to name that flag and to mark his score for the goal he has just achieved. They are a jolly team and are excited in the game. Now they sight their next flag.

On graduation day when we speak from the heart our congratulations and good wishes, there will be thoughts, a hundred at a time, moving us: fond memories; and memories of weaknesses, our own weaknesses. During the long winter not far past, and since then, we remember well the times that patience was lacking; the times we were wont to throw out the window that horn sounding next door—and the prep with it; the times we were so often ungracious, and the days that were made bitter by unkind words or sour dispositions. As we clasp hands in farewell, we are happy 37

with our graduates, but many of us will have a wish deep within us: that we might yet live together in that old year even but a week, or a month, and that we might live it better and in a Christian spirit of fellowship and goodwill that the graduates might member. If only that were possible!

But what for the rest of us who do not change our flag? Wc stand on the threshold of a second accelerated school year and arc called to a higher duty without the usual summer vacalion to rijR-n us. I jut we do have something to give us the courage, clctcnninniion, and the will to begin a new year with as mucli zip would if it were to be delayed by a three months, vacalion. Wc have llie realization of classmates and friends fighting a war for us. They are one with us. With that lliought let us. togetherďź&#x152;look cliccrfully and eagerly forward.

Band Concert .

s

UNDAY evening, March 4, the Northwestern College band gave its first concert of the season in the gymnasium. The numbers on the program varied, consisting of chorale harmoni­ zations, overtures, an intermezzo-scene, and a good selection of marches. The band played all the numbers on the program very well, except for the marches. The inarches seemed to lack the vigor which marches usually have. This was especially true of the last one on the program.

The outstanding soloist of the evening was Turke. That trombone of his certainly sounded mellow in the overture The Silver Cord.

The foremost number on the program was In a Persian Market. The Band did very well in depicting the various scenes one would see in a Persian market, although one couldn’t hear distinctly the words which the band members sang.

Touchdown Army ...

o

N March 8th the Junior Committee came through with a fast and fancy two-rceler that excited even those not athletically inclined. It was a football thriller with many good shots of West Point and many exaggerated football plays that nevertheless did help to heighten the climax and total effect. We watched Robert Cummings change from a high-school hot-shot to a respectable West Pointer in the picture which climaxed with an Army-Navy game that sent everyone home happy. (Incidentally, Army won 13-7 our favor). Some students were so exuberant that they celebrated the victory with a few gentle strokes on the bell cord; and even the members of our faculty enjoyed it, if one can judge by a classical chuckle and a 10% smile. By the way, it certainly is remarkable how far the shorts of Popeye have been stretched.

No Organization Pictures ...

OR the second consecutive year there will be no organization pic­ tures. Wartime conditions have increased Hie number of people who want to be photographed and decreased the number of photog­ raphers available for the purpose. Someone lias to do without. The pitiful condition of our Black and Red treasury made it a simple matter to persuade us to go unphotographed this year. We shall again orint a list of the personnel of the various organizations as the best available substitute. All musical orgailizations are now under the direction of Prof. Oswald.

Ach du Liebstcr, what a jam!

Lome's took it on the lam; Someone’s got to fill his boots; but who?— The columns Sclialler’s pen turned out for two successive years Will be remembered; and the staff shed tears When from its midst was taken Good old Lorenso.

But still unshaken They pointed out a certain guy and said to liim, “Well, you can try. Just do or die!”

So: Sticking to tradition we will immediately barge into a brief biography of the members of this, the new 1945 short-term staff: Occupying the editorial seat of honor (?) is Tuch (pro­ nounced “touch”），another one of the Albrecht boys from Bowdle.

He’s notorious for his monstrosity which he still insists on calling a “car.” Some time ago he was captain of a very good bowling team (ahem).

Then there’s “Goetz” Wurster, serving his second stretch.

Only now, instead of his asking people for ads, people will ask him to write, since he is one of the contributing editors. He often lunches with the boys after 10:00 p. m. to refresh his body and mind so that he can continue his conscientious bucking.

Assisting him as contributing editor is a studious new staff member, Reuben “Fritz” Stock. He’s from good ole Minnesota, ’snuff said.

There’s a town student on the staff too, the healthy son of an M.D. Fritz J. P. (jet-propulsion) Kosanke will tell you all about the alumni. An excellent photographer.

Grinding out this column is that famed harmonica virtuoso.

“Et-gar” Greve dropped his business managership like a hot iron and became athletically minded. Knows how to hide a mouth 45

RED organ. Also in on most nocturnal chuck fcsts, he manages to keep his weight just about up to par. Sports a blonde moustache.

Herbie Kruschel caught the hot iiron that Greve dropped; funny, but guys don’t gripe as much about liis accordion playing— Perhaps being advertising manager of the North Side is con­ tagious; at any rate Bob “6omschovski” Dommer, living with Wurster in the same room, now has his job. He’s a Greek shark and understands airplane engines.

We can’t forget our frosh Herb Lau, the lad who’ll rake in the badly needed kale from the South Side. He is alleged to have played “William Tell” with his sister; luckily his aim was liigli.

Although perfectly healthy, he was recently isolated in the sick rooms for ten days after having been exposed to scarlet fever. 氺氺氺*

On February 20 Northwestern played host to Fort Sheridan.

The Goslings had played a sloppy brand of ball two games prior to this. The first half they gave their usual slow motion performance. Fort Sheridan quickly ran up a nice lead which they hold for the remainder of the game. At half time the score was 15-24. The second half the Goslings had a little more pep and made 24 points to Fort Sheridan’s 23, but they had already been defeated the first half.

This game was a thriller! Too bacl I had to miss the second half, but ril tell you what somebody else told me. The gym was filled to the gills. The crowd gave our team all the moral support imaginable. They really needed it too. Provoked by an earlier de­ feat on their home court, the Falcons came out on the floor and ran circles around the Goslings the first half, which ended in their favor, 24-19. Nommensen came to life the second half and soon had the Goslings out in front, with the crowd going wild. Oswald, the spark of the Concordia five, was short circuited with some close guarding and the game was ours. Kaesmey^r, too, deserves a lot of credit for his excellent performance at guard.

They forged out ahead and ran the home team ragged. Half score: 14-25. The second half was a bit more interesting. The Goslings finally caught up with the scoring. Mission House managed to stay out in front though. It wasn’t until but five minutes remained in the game that Wietzke pulled the team out ahead by four points.

Mission House didn’t waste any time in tying the score, 41-41. The ball changed hands a few times and then Jaberg of Mission House took a long shot. The game ended. The second string is good for something.

©0 gcF)t§ am ?(benb Ofjne'dates'jum ^abenb7.* Johnnie was new up here. He had never been away from home before in all his eighteen years. His every interest was centered in his home town. For him, no other place had ever existed. He was born, reared, and educated in Podunk. He had graduated from Podunk High School in the spring. But there was no college in Podunk, and Johnnie was a bright boy.

He wanted to continue his education. He would have to leave Podunk. The fact didn’t startle him. It wasn’t that he had feared to leave Podunk; he just never had.

Before leaving he discussed the idea with Annie, his sweet­ heart. They agreed that it was the only thing for him to do.

They thought they could endure a temporary separation, even though they had been seeing each other every night for the past couple of months. He had met her at the annual Podunk Fire* ®•号einev, ber geroo^nt ifi, dates 311 ^aBen.

：!

RED men’s Picnic, been attracted by her double-dimpled smile, and couldn’t get iier off his mind. She felt the same way about him.

When the time came for him to leave, they parted re­ luctantly but cheerfully, little realizing the gravity of the situa­ tion. Johnnie enrolled in college and was very happy about the whole thing—for almost a week. He wrote to Annie every ni^ht, but he couldn’t see her every night. He never doubted her faith­ fulness, but he couldn’t see her every night. His school life agreed with him, but there was something missing—no dates.

The first Saturday night rolled around. Most of the other fellows had dates. But Johnnie didn’t. Annie wasn’t there.

So he went for a walk all alone, thinking only of his Annie, thinking of her so intently that he was oblivious to his surround­ ings; that is to say, he wasn’t looking where he was going.

He slipped on a banana peeling and wrenched his back. He fell into a creek and ruined his clothes. He ran into a telephone pole and dislocated his nose. He tripped on a curb and broke off two teeth. When he went throug a revolving door clock­ wise, he had enough.

So he caught the next train for Podunk and married Annie as soon as he got home. He now works in the Podunk Punk Works from June third to July third, cuts weeds along the highways from July fifth to September twenty-fourth, strings beads from September twenty-fifth to February twenty-eighth, digs graves in his spare time, and cuts out paper dolls for amusement. All his children are cross-eyed.

The plot is simple, the moral’s clear cut: If drawn to a dimple, don’t get in a rut.

EX-COMBATANTS，DIALOG *

by L.

Sergeant Lloyd Codak had been a turret gunner on a flying fortress. He had completed his missions over India and was spending a lengthy furlough at home in the good old U. S. A. His cousin, Pfc. Samuel Teal, who had served in the infantry in Italy, was also back in the states. Unfortunately, he had met with tough luck in Italy. It was in the attack at Ferrara that he barely escaped alive. As he recalled the attack to 54

RED mind, he felt he had come out of it as a very lucky man, despite the fact that his right arm had to be amputated, for many of his companions had fallen before the city as targets to the German bullets.

We now go to Antigo, Wisconsin, where the two fellows are at Lloyd’s home. They are in the living room smoking their pipes and talking. We now hear a serious part of their conversation: Lloyd: Sam, did you fellows in Italy ever receive any of those tripe magazines like “How To Handle These Changed Men”？ You must have, because I’m sure they got into Italy just as well as they got into Burma.

Sam: Why, yes, Lloyd, we did. When I saw some of those papers I wondered whether the American civilians thought that we couldn’t read. These magazines practically imply that we’re all mental cases, that we’re a bunch of strange neurotics.

To be perfectly frank with you, I am totally disgusted with the patronizing, oversympathetic, kid-glove treatment some of the doctors and quacks are recommending for us. I surely don’t think they should practice their psychiatry on us.

Lloyd: Say, that’s the way I like to hear you talk. So they think we’re changed men, huh? They say that we shouldn’t be asked questions about our battles and the many difficulties we experienced. They feel that the mentioning of these unhappy events will cause suggestions to be created in our minds that will make us delirious. Well, well, what strange men we are.

Sam: I surely don’t blame you for being so disgusted over this tripe. I have experienced a few unpleasant occasions my­ self. People only ask me very vague questions about the war.

They make futile attempts to pretend that they aren’t aware of my amputation.

Lloyd: Yes, I’ve even had to tell my wife that I’m a normal human being. Can you believe that one who is so dear to me could have fallen victim to this printed material?

Sam: Oh, we are becoming victims of civilian circumstances, but we’ll have to change things. It’s becoming necessary for us to change the public’s mind. We must impress upon the public that we want to be handled like human beings. We must let them know that we are sympathetic listeners, that it’s 55

i>

RED natural for us to want to talk about those things with which we’ve associated and have been among the last several months.

The public must be made to understand that every man wants to talk about his experiences, just as every woman likes to gabble about her social activities. Don’t they hear kids ask questions and observe our reactions to them? I’m beginning to believe that these kids have more common "horse sense’’ that many adults have. Of course, we don’t want to be put on the stage.

Lloyd: That’s right; being a monkey in the cage would irritate many of us ex-servicemen and tend to drive us away from the public. As you say, the public must be made to un­ derstand that the percentage of neurotics is rather low, and that most of us ex-combatants are the same men as before, only that we are returning more mature. That explains why every man appears to be different, but in reality the average soldier is returning to civilian life as basically the same man he was when he went away. He is not a ‘‘problem child.” Instead, the civilians are becoming neurotic and are losing perspective.

We soldiers only want the public to give us the opportunity to spring back to our original personalities.

Now we leave these two men who have presented first hand information on this much discussed subject. Their ideas and feelings deserve the worthy consideration of all.

BILL’S FIRST DRAG You shoulda seen him. That’s all I’ve got to say. You shoulda seen him! He was choking and coughing, spluttering and spitting, and was he green around the gills! He couldn’t stand up and—but I’m getting ahead of my story. Maybe I’d better start at the beginning.

I don’t know just where he got the idea, but Bill had gone down to the canteen and bought himself a pack of fags. Phillip Morris they were. His favorite brand, he said. He’d never smoked before, but they were his favorite brand anyhow. So there he was with a full pack of fags. He went to his room, anticipating with pleasure the thrill he was going to get when he smoked his first cigarette.

56

RED Three juniors were lounging about in his room一those juniors never seem to have anything else to do—and they immediately pounced upon poor Bill and tried their best to bum a fag from him. Bill didn’t exactly like to give them to them, but he hadn’t had any experience yet in turning down moochers. Well, these juniors were only too glad to help Bill light his fag. At the first attempt he lost his eyebrows.

Nothing daunted, he tried it again. The second attempt was better. He scorched the tip of his nose, but he got his cigarette lit. Then came his big moment. He slowly and timidly sucked at the little, white, tubular object held so delicately between the first and second fingers of his left hand—just like Dick Powell in the movies!

That smoke certainly came out faster than it went in.

Gasping for air, Bill rushed to the window and tried to stick his head out. For some reason or other he couldn’t get through, so he just leaned there helplessly. Finally, at the suggestion of one of the juniors he grabbed the two handles at the bottom and pushed up. Then he could stick his head out. Ah, air!

Good, clean, fresh air!

Finally Bill came back in and tried the same thing a few more times. Then it was easier. He was puffing and blowing like anything. He didn’t enjoy it a bit, but he thought he’d get to like it after a while. Besides, as he looked into the mirror and saw himself smoking, he thought he looked very suave and dignified indeed.

Then one of the juniors suggested that he inhale. What do you think a fag’s for, Bill? Just to burn up? It’s wasted if you don’t inhale!

But Bill didn’t know how to inhale, so they showed him just how to do it. So Bill inhaled. It was terrific! When the smoke got halfway down his throat, he got scared and forgot to keep inhaling. How he spluttered and choked! This time he got to the window with no trouble at all—and stayed there quite a while.

Of course, his tempters were having the time of their lives. They waited for Bill to pull himself together and back into the room. Finally he did. Did he look sick! But they had to admit that he had spunk. He wanted to do it all over again.

I left them. I’d had enough. I just couldn’t stand it any­ more. Out in the hall I stopped and lit the fag I’d just swiped from Bill’s pack. Then I inhaled deeply.—Oh, well, I needed a rest anyway.

57

kED DIED IN ACTION MARCH THIRD, 1945 THOMAS ARNOLD NICKELS Tom was one of those friendly, likeable personalities who make friends with everyone they meet. Those who knew him at school remember him for his sense of humor, the jokes he’d tell in the classroom before the period started, for the Western Ballads the fellows kept asking him to sing, for his sly smile.

When our class gave speeches in a Quarta English class, Tom had us all spellbound with his description of a Western trip he had made. Tom had the gift of seeing beauty and being able to impart his appreciation to others.

He had an interesting way of picturing things, whether he did it by speech, writing, or photography.

That Tom should be killed m the midst of a life and death struggle is so far from his life and character that it makes his death the more unbelieveable. He never liked the warlike, turbulent poems; he preferred Sandburg’s “Fog” and “Child of the Romans.” In the pictures he took one can recognize his . feeling for the peaceful beauty of the world around him. Even while fighting in Germany he wrote of returning after the war to capture the mellow beauty of the old sections of France and Belgium. In none of his letters did he have a word of hate for the enemy soldier or people. That he, as a soldier in the front line, had that Christian viewpoint shows how much a part of him his religion was.

Tom was born in Watertown on the thirtieth of June, 1925.

He went to Webster Grade School, to Junior High School for his seventh and eighth grades. He was the president of his class in 58

RED eighth grade. He attended Northwestern and was graduated from the High School Department in June, 1943. A few weeks later he left for Los Angeles, where he took a three months course in photography at the Art Center School. He won high honors from his instructors for his work there. In the latter part of October he was called into the Armed Forces. In May he was sent overseas. He served in the Third Armored Division of the First Army until the time of his death. ‘‘May God comfort the survivors with the hope of a blessed reunion in Heaven.”

Sorry 為• HE old cover is back. It’s not that we consider it superior to all other designs. It’s not that we wouldn’t like to use a new and different one every month. The reason is much simpler than that—it’s cheaper this way.

This issue is also rather thin. We should like to put out one twice as thick as this every month, with a cut on every other page. But the desperate financial condition of the Black and Red keeps reminding us, “You’ve got to cut down. You’ve got to cut down•” We’re sorry, but that’s all there’s to it.

RED Edward Rechlin ...

o

N the evening of April 16 it was our great privilege to.hear an organ recital by Edward Rechlin at St. John’s Lutheran Church. As we heard before the recital began, it was not a demonstration of the musical ability of Mr. Rechlin; it was rather glorifying the Name of God through the music written

by His children.

As far as I was concerned, the program was too short. I could have listened for hours. I was indignant to hear some remarks afterwards that listeners were disappointed by the “simplicity” of the recital. The entire beauty of the recital lay in its simplicity. Mr. Rechlin has the ability to play with such ease and aplomb that even the most difficult selections sound simple. The arrangements of Lutheran chorales which he played were in reality very difficult.

There must be an immense amount of study and practice behind Mr. Rechlin’s playing. This he admits, but he says that after the method is learned, the playing itself conies from the heart. When asked where his mind is when he is playing, he replied, “My mind? I don’t use my mind!”

Mr. Rechlin got his music the hard way. He had been a parochial school teacher for a time—he calls that period of his life a "noble experiment’’一and during that time his interest in music was quickened. He decided to study music seriously.

Having worked his way across the ocean to Europe on a tramp steamer, he studied in Paris under Charles Widor and Felix Alexandre Guilmant. The work he did there must have been tremendous. Often he was called upon to recite whole com­ positions orally, explaining and describing the harmony.

Mr. Rechlin has given many recitals, both in Europe and America. We should feel honored that he came here to Watertown to assist us in praising God through the medium of his inspiring music. I am sure that many join me in hoping that he return to Watertown soon.

Robert Elliott, Violinist . . • XA R. Elliott’s program was performed with the finesse of a /Yl professional from the very beginning—when he arrived ten minutes late. Throughout the concert he performed smoothly, confidently, effortlessly, almost giving one the erroneous impression that a novice could master Bach’s Sonata in G Minor in a week’s spare time.

Still we had the feeling that we were not hearing Mr. Elliott at his best—through no fault of his own. His appearance here had been indefinitely postponed because of illness, before he finally performed for us on the nineteenth of March. He very likely did not have as much time to get into shape for this concert as he would have liked.

The meagreness of u the crowd (Test week!) Id id not attest to the quality of the program; the warm reception did.

Inasmuch as a piano accompanist usually goes unnoticed and unappreciated, a forgotten man, we should .like to give due credit to the work of Mr. Elliott’s accompanist, Mr. Joseph Anderson.

Freedom Rides on Rubber ...

WEDNESDAY, April 11, we witnessed a film on the history ™ of rubber—a product of the Firestone company. It began with a view of almost every contraption that ever ran on rubber and finished with a brief description of the synthetic rubber process. Tomorrow we may expect almost anything to be made of rubber, they claim.

RED Pro Arte Quartet ...

Saturday evening, April 7, the Pro Arte Quartet of the University of Wisconsin delighted us with a concert of chamber music. They did not sacrifice quality for popular appeal; the program consisted of three longer works, one each of Mozart, Brahms, and Beethoven. To the average listener the selections sounded very much alike and had a tendency toward the monotonous, but the consensus of the learned seems to be that the selections were excellent and the execution flawless.

Life with Henry ... seeing another Popeye short, Lost and Foundry (say, A FTER Juniors, how old are we anyway!), we were permitted to see, according to the preview, one of the best ‘‘Henry Aldrich’’ pictures ever made, and that happened some time ago. Henry, played by Jackie Cooper, as usual got into and solved an almost impossible situation. He doesn’t seem to be getting any older, though (or any wiser either). The picture was not the best, except for perhaps a scene or two, especially the One with Eddy Bracken. Personally I think we merit better pictures, unless you liked it!

What do you think is happening when you see: Preps a’running to and fro Brazenly smoking wherever they go Cigarettes, pipes, and even cigars.

Knowing the Juniors have lifted all bars; Some of them raking, some cleaning the shrubs, Others collecting with baskets and tubs The piles of branches and leaves that they see—?

It’s Arbor Day, o’course!

Some of the college guys don’t help a bit; Some, like the Juniors, are driven to it; The Sophs try to tell us they outworked us all_ If that’s the case, they deserved to have the afternoon off for their little outing!

One interesting phenomenon on every Arbor Day is the ap­ parent ease with which some of the preps, who have, of course, never smoked before, inhale the smoke of a fag or pipe.

As was the case other years, so also this year, because of the uncertainty of weather conditions, no one was certain just when Arbor Day would be. The Juniors had settled one point with Prof. Rhoda, however, and that was this: if the sky would be clear and the temperature would be at least forty, i)er Tag would be on the next day, April 6. It was quite cool on Thurs­ day, so a few of the fellows did their bucking for the next day’s classes; the others took the chance that Friday would be a clear, warm day. Well, it was, and now the campus is again clean and beautiful.

RED NEWS FLASH (Delayed for security reasons)

The great amateur astronomers I. Moospike and R. Domschovski have just explained to the public the reasons for their miscalculations concerning the collision-to-be between the astoroid Mephistopholes and the earth. This was to have occurred on March 27 at 12:45 and three-quarters second p. m” and, as announced by the great reporter L. Schaller in a pre­ vious issue of the B. and R., was to have landed in the village of Essig, Minnesota. This is the explanation, quoted verbatim: ‘‘The velocity of the apparent asteroidal body was not constant, making calculations very difficult. Also, the hypersensitivity of the matter of which it was composed to earth shine (the sun light reflected from the earth) caused the dumb thing to go off on a tangent and explode. Get it?’’ The two astronomers are now attempting to remove a speck from the telescope lens.

The Juniors learned in English class that “Arden,” the maiden name of John Shakespeare’s wife, means “big wood.”

When he heard this, Arden Wood at first was board; he wooden even smile; but later he got to thinking about it so much that he became sleepy. So, he got ready to go to bed, forest is what he needed, but he couldn’t go to sleep until tree.

“Ouch!” they said.

We learn from the Director of Home Economics that the meat shortage is becoming more acute. We’d offer to help relieve this situation by going out to hunt rabbits, but most of the students don’t seem to like hare.

Literally translated it would read: Man musz das Positive akzentuieren, Das Negative ausstoszen, Sich an das Jawort befestigen, Gibt euch nicht mit dem Herrn Inzwischen ab!

If you gotta sing it, boys, why don’tcha accentuate it with this German version once, just for variety, huh?

Some of the guys who want to begin working part time in the near future are slightly concerned about what those sixty people who lost their jobs when the box factory burned down are going to do. They’re hoping that part time jobs will still be open later in the spring.

68

赛RED How far will the new Triple C. B. T. Club get? So far four fellows belong to it. Each has a Cap, Cane, Cigar, and Bow Tie. Dressed to kill in this paraphernalia, they strut down the streets like true Englishmen; it causes quite a stir among the other pedestrians. Perhaps the bug will bite others, but probably the novelty of it will soon wear off.

Improbabilities:

Hearing band instruments between 1:30 and 5:00 p. m.

Disturbances during study period; Untidy preps at Sunday dinner; Singing for birthdays in the dining hall; Playing ball in front of the dorm.

Reason: these and other rules were drawn up and are being enforced by the new Junior class. All collegiate classes were promoted in March, y’know，so there are only three classes in the collegiate department, since the Tertianers won’t graduate until June.

Of course we have a new tutor now, too. He was here to welcome us when we returned after Easter vacation. Jack Petrie is his name, a likeable young “reverner” from Mil­ waukee. We hope he will enjoy his stay up here.

The Juniors were guests at Margie Schmidt’s wedding on the fourteenth of April. She was a former classmate who married a sailor, Jim Weaver. Fritz ‘‘Kosy’’ will probably tell you all about it in his column; at least he was taking notes at the reception.

And with that we bow out as the curtain drops on another “War Edition.”

ATHLETICS FOR AULD LANG SYNE 25 years ago: Cold weather delayed the baseball season somewhat.

Thirty would-be players answered Capt. Timmel’s call. Nine games had been scheduled thus far.

10 years ago: Professor Wend land was coaching the baseball team this season with eight letter-men back to work on.

5 years ago: The Tri-State Conference was changed to the Badger State Inter-Collegiate Conference. The freshman volley ball team took part in the conference tournament and gained a second place rating with 5 wins and 3 losses.

1 year ago: Zell won the handball tournament championship and then tied E. E. K.’s high-game of 276 in the faculty alleys.

This year: There just isn’t anything much to write about—no base­ ball, no tennis, no golf. I’m afraid we’ll all have to take up hiking. I remember those good ol’ shags at New Ulm, especially with—well I won’t go into that. Sure, they used to give the coeds up on the hill small letters for hiking so many hours. At New Ulm there is beautiful wild country to wonder about and get lost in. I wouldn’t know where to go around here. Suggestions please! That isn’t sarcasm. I’m serious.

RED BOWLING Because graduation comes in December this year, the seniors are getting everything they can for their two bucks at the expense of the faculty alleys. Kolander and Wurster volun­ teered to keep the alleys in condition. After drafting a few juniors with senior rights, Kruschel was able to form four three-man teams. A few fellows needed lessons. After gladly giving away a few pointers, the teacher was outdone by the pupils. Oh well! Don Kolander, who never touched a bowling ball before, chalked up a 214 during practice. No one has reached it yet although some have come very close. The first round of the tournament was finished at the time of this writing.

Statistics from the first round: High game: 208 Juroff Albrecht (another pupil) Individual high for three games: 539 Albrecht Team high for one game; 492 Kolander Won Lost Standings: Team 2 7 Kolander 4 5 Stock 4 5 Greve 8 Kruschel

FAIR, NOT BEAUTIFUL

by L,

September was edging near and Jean wondered whether she should attend high school. She had done well in elementary school, and her teachers had advised her to continue her educa­ tion. Jean knew the advantages of an advanced education, but she came from a shiftless family of drunkards. At the old red school house this hadn’t made much difference, but she felt that her low standard of living and her poor home life would have a direct bearing on her future school life.

September was being ushered in by a ringing of school bells, and Jean had decided to give high school a try. She stood in her bedroom before a broken mirror trying to make .the ends of her hair curl up a bit. She looked at the dimple on her nose and smiled into the mirror at herself. Her image was that of a happy, cute girl who could have been good looking, had she possessed the means of other girls. Her adolescent figure, the gradually disappearing fat on her calves, and the slight protrusion of her breasts under her gingham dress showed that she was no longer a mere child. She gathered more courage as she glanced at herself in the mirror again.

The three-mile hike to town left streams of sweat trickling down her cheeks. As she wiped tihe sweat from her face she 72

赛RED noticed that the other kids weren’t carrying any books or lunch to school, so she deposited hers at the edge of the campus. All the faces and gazes she encountered were foreign and mocking to her. She strode through the door of the assembly room with a stumbling, gawky gait. Try as she would, she couldn’t hide her fourteen years. The freshmen from the rural areas were requested to meet with the Principal in room 2. Jean lingered behind and bashfully had to move again at her awkward gait to the front of the room. The Principal gave a short talk on the advantages of education and told how fortunate the rural students were that they were present; that he had often noticed that rural students were more alert, attentive and curious than those from the city. This talk was seriously leading Jean by the hand, and the Principal knew it, as he looked into Jean’s attentive, grey eyes. Here, he felt, was one person who be­ lieved him.

The initial part of the semester brought many surprises and experiences to Jean, but they proved to her that experience was the greatest of all teachers. She had heard that one learned more from observation than from experience, but she concluded that observation was a part of experience, and, to her, exper­ ience was still the greatest of teachers. As she observed the actions of the popular students and those of the unpopular she realized that here was a vast reservoir of information from which she could draw and acquire manners which were so necessary to an appovable character. She soon learned that she had two ears with which to hear and one mouth with which to speak. She found out that a please, a thank you, and an amiable smile were assets to any individual. Diligence, patience, conscientiousness, fairness and honesty she let be her guides.

Her instructors carefully observed this. It stood out in the class room and showed itself during girls’ gym.

Jean had done quite well in grade school, but she was not a genius. She bore out the truth of the statement that great men are made, not born, or, in other words, that ability is, to a great extent, acquired, and not inherited.

She did seem to possess a knack for mathematics, and here is where she shone during the last hour before dinner. It wasn’t long before the other girls asked her to work their prob­ lems for them and to help them during tests, but this was con­ trary to the rules of honesty. The dislike of some of the girls 73

RED toward her was shown when they said, “Just because math is easy for you, you don’t need to think you’re so smart. Just wait, we’ll get even with you yet, you bumpkin from the sticks.

Why don’t you go home and teach your boozing father some­ thing?* * This outburst was unjustifiable to Jean, but she had principles. “No,” she said to herself, “I’ll not jump on the band wagon and ride the direction in which the crowd is going.

Principles mean too much to me.” Still her noble action didn’t mean much to some of the girls. Even those who had pretended to have been her friends were unfair. They were going to make it hot for her. A certain Judith was one of the chief instiga­ tors of a newly hatched plot. It was because she had always been tops in school that she was jealous. “Will I have to let a country girl take the honors right out from under my nose?” she asked herself. No, she and her friends were going- to intimidate Jean. One noon it came to a show down, rather to a hair pulling： contest. Jean’s final defense was, .‘Judith, if you hadn’t gone out almost every night with John Hawk you wouldn’t want my help now,” but she was outnumbered, and she wondered if it wouldn’t be better for her to go home than to spend her last six weeks before graduation in such an inimical atmosphere. One couldn’t blame her for this thought, for she had already spent over three and a half years at high school and had always been liked by the other girls. At least they had never shown signs of enmity before this.

As she was walking from school the following afternoon . she met John. He noticed her melancholy mood, the tears which she was trying to hold back in the corner of her eyes, and that she had all her books in her arms. Immediately^ he sensed what was up and asked, “Why, Jean, you aren’t quitting school, are you? YouWe been doing so well. What will Princi­ pal Ruskin and some of the other teachers say?’’ Jean’s selfcontrol gave away and underneath a sob she said, "It’s no use, John.” This wasn’t a satisfactory answer and he pried the entire story out of her. He assured her that she had his sympathy and convinced her to hang on for the remaining six weeks of this, her senior year. “Don’t worry,” he added, “I’ll talk to Judith tonight.”

Six weeks later Jean graduated as valedictorian of her class and delivered the valedictory speech. The topic she had chosen to speak on was What School Meant to Abraham Lincoln.** As she turned around to be seated, she met the stare of John and his very interesting, amiable smile.

RED DEEP THOUGHT*

by TED

I doubt whether this article will ever reach the “Black and Red.” If it gets past the editor it will probably be thrown out by the censor, but I DEMAND A CHANGE. No more of these superficial articles written to keep the people in ignorance.

This is a democracy, so again I say, I DEMAND a change. We aren’t living in the dark ages. Don’t keep the public in dark­ ness. Bring them to the light. Intelligence is a fad. When people read, they don’t want to be told everything. They would much rather read an article which demands alertness and deep thought. Why, in a recent survey I’ve discovered that eightyseven of every hundred people would rather read an article of this kind. (Oh, don’t criticize me yet, that comes later.)

Now to show you exactly what I mean, so that there will be no doubt in anyone’s mind, I’ve submitted an article of this kind myself. I dare you to read it, and see whether you don’t agree with me. Then, after you’ve read it, remember, we must all stand together. Write to the publishers and DEMAND ACTION. Here is the story: THE FORGOTTEN CLUE

He didn’t notice, but in the West the sun was sinking and • reddish fingers streaked _ across the sky. The sunset was beautiful, but for Bill darkness had already fallen. He moved across the room and sat down at his desk. His fingers trembled as he picked up his pen and began to write.

'Dear Mother, Life is7i}t as pleasant as you told me it would be. I thought I would want to remember many little things. Now Ifind myself trying desperately to forget. Aften' you left me, the storm passed.

There was peace and even happiness, but now it has again be­ come sadness. I find it difficult to think clearly. Everything seems to be wrong. I only know that I must leave.

I’m sure you would have understood, Moth&i'； you seemed to have understood even when others couldrCt. It’s all very strange.

I could imagine this happening to other ])eople but never to my­ self. I was told that life presented only one great sorrow. I now •Suggestion of author. For full effect, first make sure you are alone, then work your­ self into a frenzy, screaming out the first paragraph.

RED have tvjo. Oh, I’ve tried to say it wasn’t tnie, but who can lie to himself'} The only way I can ever forget is to leave.

Fd like to tell someone here，but I know they loouldnH under­ stand. This is driving me mad though, I must talk to someone.

I just go on from day to day. My eyes are open, but I can’t see.

I seem to have lost contact with the world. I live only in the past now. Life is empty. I can’t go on much longer. I’m leaving tonight and expect to see you soon.

Love, Bill.

The fingers of red which had swept across the sky were now lost in the darkness of night. Bill rose slowly from his seat. His face seemed haggard, his eyes tired. He slipped into a jacket and walked slowly down the hall to the office. As he mailed the letter, tears came into his eyes. He left the dormitory and soon disappeared into the night.

Bill’s disappearance was a great mystery. A few days later his letter was returned to the dormitory marked Undeliverable, Deceased.

The End

After pondering this for a few days I’m sure that most of you will understand the story. However, if after this time everything is not clear, please consult page 80 for the solution.

FRANK MURPHY

by FREDERIC KOSANKE

Although our acquaintance was of but twelve hours’ duration, Frank made quite an impression on me. We met on a clear August day two years ago on a highway in the Black Hills. I was standing by the side of the highway with extended thumb and a how-about-a-lift-mister look in my eyes (I’d been standing there for an hour and a half); Frank- was driving along the road in a Ford pickup. The reason I was there was to get a ride thru the scenic Hills; Frank, it developed, was driving to a place in the Hills where his dad’s ranch had some sheep grazing. He offered to take me thru parts of the country seldom seen by tourist and to have me back in Rapid City by .nightfall. It was too good an opportunity to miss.

76

RED Frank was a real Westerner. He had on a ten-gallon hat, high heeled boots, and a six-shooter was holstered at his hip.

Lying on the floor of the truck was a rifle. My first impression as I climbed in the cab was that I was getting mixed up with a mechanized cattle rustler. But Frank introduced himself as the son of a sheep rancher. When his plans for a college education had fallen thru, he had taken a job driving a grain and feed truck. Tired of that job he was now working for his father.

He explained the symbol painted on the truck as being the ranch brand, a flying Y. Every year the sheep drifted from the home ranch at the foot of the hills higher and higher as it grew warmer till they reached the highest plateau, where they now were. They had gone about seventy-five miles from the ranch. The question seemed a little silly, but I wanted to know,â&#x20AC;&#x201D;so I asked Frank if they were bothered with cattle thieves. Surprisingly enough, he said that they were. The rustlers drive along the road in trucks, pick up unguarded cattle and take them across the state line and sell them to stock yards.

As we talked, the truck took us into thicker forest land higher in the hills. We had turned off the paved road and now were on a winding track that kept climbing and climbing. At many places where the trees thinned into green meadows sheep were grazing. They did not heed the truck as it slowly pushed a path thru them. When we came to a spot that had struck him as being photographic, he stopped so that I could take pictures of it.

At last we came to a place where the road leveled off. This was the highest plateau in the hills; off in the purple distance were the hills of Montana, and the green grass ahead of us was dotted with hundreds of grazing sheep.

Billy, the sheep herder, was glad to have company. Once a week Frank drove up with food and supplies; otherwise Billy was alone with his horse and two collies. He was lonely and had much to talk about. Coyotes were in the neighborhood again. For days the dogs had been smelling them around, and the night before he had seen one at the spring. He had shot at it, but missedv The herd would have to be closely watched now.

77

RED Billy’s home was a small trailer. At one end a stove pipe poked thru the roof; at the other end was a screen door flanked on both sides with hanging pots, pans and kettles. Near by were salt cakes and feeding troughs for the sheep and another trailer, holding a water tank, which we hauled to the near-by spring and filled. We moved the little settlement to a spot where there was better grazing, said goodby to Billy, and started down the road back to Rapid City.

All of a sudden something crossed the road ahead of us.

“Porcupine,—they’re hard on the stock,” and Frank jammed on the brakes, jumped out drawing his six-gun and shot. But porcupines are tough animals. We followed this one into the woods, and it didn’t stop moving until after four more shots.

Frank pulled out a few quills and posed for a picture and we were on our way again. We reached Rapid City at dusk.

PROFESSOR E. J. BERG LEAVES NORTHWESTERN On April 30, 1945, Professor Berg’s resignation as inspector of the dormitory here at North­ western became effective. He had served in this capacity • since September, 1938. It was a hard job. Keeping track of a couple hundred exuberant boys and young men is a task most men wouldn’t even want to attempt. But Professor Berg did it for almost seven years, and did it well, always keeping a level head even under the most trying conditions, keep­ ing the boys under control with a firm hand but an under­ standing heart. He maintained discipline by commanding re­ spect rather than by instilling fear. The dormitory students, almost without exception, held him in highest esteem.

78

RED Professor Berg was graduated from Northwestern College in 1910 and from the Seminary in Wauwatosa in 1913. His first call took him to Mobridge, South Dakota, where he served as traveling missionary until 1916. While living at Mobridge he also took care of several missions west of the Missouri River.

Next he served as pastor to a congregation in North St. Paul, Minnesota. In 1920 he received and accepted a call as professor at Michigan Lutheran Seminary in Saginaw. He served there for eighteen years and came to Northwestern in 1938.

He is now returning to Michigan to serve a mission congre足 gation in Benton Harbor. May the Lord continue to bless his efforts with success.

IN MEMORIAM PFC. ARTHUR NORDBY Arthur Alfred Nordby was born on August 17, 1924, at Fairfax, Minnesota. He re足 ceived the Sacrament of Holy Baptism on the 31 of August of the same year and renewed his baptismal promises at con足 firmation in the spring of 1937.

He was graduated from Doctor Martin Luther College in 1942.

He then attended Northwestern College at Watertown, Wisconsin, and was in his sophomore year when he entered the Armed Forces. He was not sure whether he wanted to enter the ministry or not; so, rather than try to compromise his conscience, he left college and enlisted. During the months preceding his in足 duction he was employed by the Gamble Company in Minneapolis.

79

RED Having received his basic military training at Camp Wolters, Texas, he left for the European theater of war in No­ vember of the year. Our gracious Savior called him unto Himself on the 16 of March of this year somewhere in France at the age of 20 years, 6 months, and 29 days. The report of his death came as a great shock to us, for he had been one of the last to leave school and enter the Armed Forces.

Those who mourn his death are his mother, Mrs. Viola Nordby; his brother Robert, who recently enlisted in the Navy; his maternal grandmother, Mrs. Minnie Palmer; his uncle and pastor, R. J. Palmer; and a host of other relatives and fellowChristians.

Memorial services were conducted by Professor Schweppe of Doctor Martin Luther College at Pilgrim Lutheran Church, Minneapolis, on April 15. Word has been received that Arthur was buried in a military cemetery somewhere in the eastern part of France.

The Forgotten Glue.â&#x20AC;&#x201D;The author is not very clear on the story himself. Solution: Bill lost his mother when quite young and had still not completely recovered when later in life he lost his girl (second sorrow). His mind is not able to bear the strain. Imagining that none but his mother could help him, he finally commits suicide.

Day, it said on the bulletin board on Monday morning, May Velse,E7.who Soon someone scrawled unconfirmed under it. Someone had been listening to a different news commentator, soon changed it to confirmed. Later the ccmfirmed’s and unconfirmed’s were replaced by official and unofficial alternately.

After we had heard that President Truman was scheduled to make it official on Tuesday morning at eight o’clock, everyone was satisfied to leave it at V-E Day. Confirmed. Unofficial.

Tuesday was very much like any other day here. Classes were held as usual. There was no boisterous rejoicing; a spirit of solemn thanksgiving rather prevailed. The quarantine made it imppssible for us to attend special V-E Day services; so we held our own special service in the chapel with Professor Kowalke in charge.

This is official notice. May it serve to confirm all rumors to this effect and to dispel all scuttlebut to the contrary.

In the first place, we’ll have three months to put it out instead of only one.

I SEE dark days ahead for Northwestern. I see a future of ■ steady deterioration and decline. It is inevitable. It cannot happen otherwise. All indications point to it.

Every student of history knows that history moves in cycles. When a nation has reached its peak of prosperity, for instance, a period of relative depression follows. It happens every time. What else could happen?

Northwestern College is in such a position right now.

Don’t you agree with me, my fellow students? Where did I ever get such a wild idea, are you saying to yourself? I got it from you! Conditions are so close to perfect that not a one of you was sufficiently dissatisfied with any one thing to bring me a written complaint or criticism to be published as an editorial.

What else could I have concluded?

HERE were many backwaters and eddies of World War I,” and this picture brought them to us. As swift as a travelog, it took us from the hills of India to the desert of Egypt. This picture had everything—horses, shooting, spy plots, beautiful native women, and even an “eternal triangle.”

There was a spectacular finish. One man with two pistols holds off an entire army, and his personal enemy, wounded and dying, as a noble parting gesture gives him his wife. It was interest­ ing, even though one could always tell exactly what was coming next.

Ghost Breakers ...

'HIS was the first picture thoughtfully provided for us by the junior class to tide us over a dismal quarantine week-end.

We wanted laughs, and we got them. It was an old picture_ Bob Hope looked thinner, and he had considerably more hair一 but ghost stories never grow old anyway. The action was fast, and the zombie was hideous. What more could you want?

I wish that some of the audience’s appreciation of Hope’s humor hadn’t been so spontaneous or so noisy, for we lost a good share of the plot and had to supply it ourselves—what plot there was, that is.

Brigham Young . . • COME of us had been wanting a more serious historical ^ picti ture, and we got it. It’s too bad, though, that a professor of whom the juniors had thought when they ordered the picture was too busy to show up. The picture was interesting, educational, and authentic. Some outward vestiges of Mormon doctrine appeared to have taken root, for next the day several were heard saying that they were heading toward Salt Lake City and that they were "willing to do their share,” but nothing seems to have come of it.

The letter was to describe the happiest day of one’s life and was limited to 500 words.

Ted Hoyer is an invalid since the time he was injured in an automobile accident on his way to Juneau to see a football game nine years ago. In spite of his affliction, however, he has maintained a cheerful attitude that can serve as an inspiration to many who enjoy perfect health and are nevertheless dissatis­ fied.

He hopes to have a powered wheel chair soon. It will enable him to get around his native town and see things. Ted has finished two correspondence courses in creative writing and looks forward to selling some of his articles. He should be able to succeed, as he showed a definite knack for writing entertaining pieces during his two prep years at Northwestern.

We quote his letter: Today is my happiest.

If a young mcwi’s feet cannot carry him from his house, simple joys are sufficient for his day.

RED This morning I spoke with a child, and that child heard me.

It is a joy to be heard.

Today I received a letter. For a ha/ppy moment she was not a thousand miles away.

Today I ate bread; Ifound it sweet to the tongue. lI read a book, ivrote thoughts on paper, listened to music, and saw a brightly-feathered bird at my window. It is a joy to be living.

Now it is evening. I shall ?，emember the gentle words of our Lord: “Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”

Then peaceful sleep will come.

And tomorrow will be my happiest.

Ted Hoyer Good lack to you, Ted. We hope that “tomorrow will be your happiest，’’ indeed!

Bzzzzzz—at 12:30 a. m. the bloomin’ fire alarm forced scores of dazed, sleep-groggy, ill-humored dorm residents to hit the deck. Whodunit? Voss is the culprit !—And that wasn’t enough! The next morning the recitation building suffered its first fire drill in ages; most of the profs didn’t know what was coming off. Mattek claims the building was vacated in thirty seconds. No one seemed displeased at this disturbance— it cut five minutes out of the last period. 木

The mysterious disappearance of Demmie and Boots several weeks ago caused quite a stir. On Saturday afternoon they were seen headed east on bicycles. That was the last time anyone saw them or knew of their whereabouts until late Sun­ day p. m. That, of course, called for an explanation. It seems they were looking for a cheap second-hand car. They had heard of one at Jefferson and drove out to investigate; a broken sprocket chain delayed them just long enough to prevent tbeir return that afternoon, so they stayed at a hotel and slept until late the next morning. Then they pumped back. That’s their story. (They didn’t buy the car).

An exclusive, patented “eliminator” is on display daily on the table in the southeast corner of the refectory. This simple gadget consist merely of a cereal bowl partially filled with the chemical compound H2O. In this compound stands a common pint jar containing jelly (or jam, if “it don’t shake like that”).

RED Since its installation, the “beasts” are reported to have been frustrated.

Ever since Mattek and Wood have been working as clerks in shoe stores here in town, it seems they’ve been getting the low-down on quite a few young ladies. They get to the bottom of things in a hurry, and usually the girls are glad to foot the bills.

The former “ravenous shaggy raven” is now a “ravenous shaven raven” (ask big Stern for an explanation.)— Percy Q. Shun—the fate that bore us on during the ten-day quarantine.—After our release on Saturday, the word “sinew” was used quite frequently. It was, however, always preceded by “I’li be;” you see, most of the shut-ins were leaving for the week end.— Monologue in a Soph’s nightmare (he had had a class in music that morning): "Why did I ever take those girls froghunting? They said they wouldn’t be scherzo I let them come along. Of all the dumb questions they asked!—‘Doesn’t it symphony to be looking for whole frogs when you just eat the legs?*—*How long will allegro in a week?’一‘I should think a legato grow quite a ways in that time.’一I lost my tempo when a fugue iris kicked at the pail. The nocturned the bucket over, and all the frogs got away.” (The title shoulda warned you.)

What’s the matter with the boys?

-They seemed sad, deprived of joys, .

The’yre not even making noise!

Sumpin, wrong?

Everybody’s staying in Fretting, moping, getting thin, Dreaming of the fun that7s been Barred so long.

What’s the reason for this mess, All this gloom and listlessness?

Can’t you see, it’s nothing less Than quarantine!

It coulda been worse, though. The Juniors’ entertainment committee ordered several good movies which were shown in the gym to break the monotony.

RED And then there were the softball games, class vs. class, preps vs. collegiates, and even ‘‘scrub.’’ In exciting moments some casualties were suffered. Fritz Kempfert got a “bum” knee colliding with y. t. in a successful attempt to catch a flyball; “Slug” was battered up quite nicely in a collision with Voss (the latter hadn’t taken his catcher’s mask off when he went after the fly, so he figured he wouldn’t get hurt if he did hit Slug; well he didn’t).

As for some few, shall we say "fortunate” individuals, well, they spent their time, especially during the evenings, in other recreation. Sometimes, of course, they would be dis­ turbed by camouflaged patrol platoons, but most of them took it calmly enough.—But all that is history now.

Here’s a new recipe that Tuch is alleged to have used tank: IV2 gallons of gasowith no little success in his gas _ line, 4V2 gallons of kerosene, one pint of denatured alchohol, V2 dozen moth balls, pulverized. He probably would have sold his “car” to the Army as a smoke screen layer, but so many men would have been overcome by the fumes that a practical appli­ cation of the idea was unadvisable.

Remember the little item about adhesive tape on a certain feller’s slippers? Well, he’s found that footwear is only one of the many items of wearing apparel that can be reinforced with this versatile material. You ought to see a certain pair of his pants! Why, when he sits down with them on he has to exert tremendous amounts of energy in order to bend the tapebeplastered legs. He claims it’s worth it, though, considering the wear he gets out of them.

“Pork” Hollender was quite puzzled one evening when he saw on the desk pad a notice telling him to call a certain num­ ber on the phone and ask for Henry. However, he followed directions, and the next thing he knew he was talking to a professor. After everything was straightened out, he gave the third degree to several suspects. He never did find the “dirty crook.”

What’s this we hear about Huebner? It seems he suddenly turned quite chivalrous when he saw a certain pore li’l co-ed 'being teased by several preps. At time of writing one of the boys is still working down in Hueb’s room.

RED The staff was pleased to receive a donation from an admirer of this publication. Especially now, when we are so low on funds, are such gifts welcome. To the kind donor we express our sincere thanks.

To print or not to print?—perhaps there will be a summer edition of the Black and Red this year; a lot of other traditions have been broken since the war. But summer’s a few weeks off yet; at any rate, this is all for now.

FOR AULD LANGE SYNE 25 years ago: Baseball was in full swing. Beloit came to Watertown for a 9 to 6 defeat. Northwestern went to Beloit for a 7 to 2 defeat.

10 years ago: A spectacular catch of a foul ball by Captain Schroeder__ ‘‘In his pursuit of the ball he was forced to circumvent three posts and tread a sidewalk which offered no firm footing. He stumbled, slipped, slid, and came gracefully to a halt by bracing one hand against an adjacent fountain with the ball clutched securely in his gloved hand.” & years ago: The tennis team lost its first match in three years to Whitewater Teachers.

1 year ago: Campus and Classroom got mixed up with Athletics. Hard to tell which is which.

This year: I must confess. There is a place in our vicinity to stroll about in and enjoy oneself. It took a quarantine to discover it.

When one is not allowed to leave the campus for ten days, one finally realizes what the place is really like. Every nook and corner has now been explored. Some very favorable spots were found. In order to really enjoy our beautiful campus, wander around on it on a clear, warm, starlit night. I’ll wager you’ll never forget it. You might wonder just what all this junk has to do with athletics. What I’m driving at is a little exercise.

You’d be surprised how a short walk before bedtime will settle your mind.

94

RED Because of the quarantine coach had to cancel or postpone most of his Prep baseball games. To keep the team from get­ ting rusty and to break the monotony an improvised collegiate team took them on. So far it has been a draw. One of these games had to be called because of cold weather. Coach also scheduled some softball games between the various classes. It was surprising to see how many fellows actually turned out.

We need more of that sort of thing.

Just an afterthought___If anybody wants a little diver­ gence, try roller skating sometime. You’ll find it truly refresh­ ing.

BOWLING

When the seniors first started bowling, I began to observe one man in particular. He started out low and has come up a long way. That man is Leland “Goetz” Wurster. His deter­ mination to improve his bowling has not been in vain. To begin with he bought a book entitled 41 Better Bowling” by Ned Day and a good beginning that was. He took a lot of ribbing for it and is even known among the seniors as “Ned Day”，but that didn’t stop him. “Goetz” decided on his best form with­ out much trouble and concentrated on that. At first his scores always hung in the vicinity of 130, but he stuck to his style.

Whether he bowled higher or lower, he kept right on using the same four-step delivery and the semi-spinner hook ball. This went on for weeks until one day .‘Goetz’s’’tenacity paid off.

One afternoon he broke Kolander’s long undisputed 215 with a 224. Kolander came back with a 242, but I’m only waiting for “Goetz” to break that.

Senior league bowling fizzled out. Some of the fellows found employment downtown, making it impossible to bowl afternoons, the only available time for tournament bowling.

Here are the final statistics as compiled by Herb Kruschel.

SANGRE DE CRISTO lÂťy HILL

This story takes us back to the sixteenth century, when great events took place to the south of us. The Spaniards were expanding their colonization to South America and Mexico, conquering the mighty and highly advanced civilization of the Aztecs, with their leader, Montezeuma, the Incas, and other Indian nations. Those were the days when the Spanish conquistador was at his strength, when men like Coronado, Cortez, Ponce De Leon, and De Soto conquered, discovered, made for themselves a name, and grew wealthy.

Those were the days when the Spanish priests made their missionary trips into the southern half of the United States, from Kansas to California. From these excursions arises an intriguing, romantic legend, which fits the exciting, colorful region of the great Southwest. The Indians have handed this story down throughout the decades, and it has become a living truth to many of the present inhabitants of that region.

It was in early spring. A young priest with several Spanish officers and their companies started on a missionary expedition from Mexico. They planned on being back by the end of the summer, which realization most of them never knew.

96

RED They started west through the southern part of what is now New Mexico and part of Arizona then cut up north to the border of Utah and proceeded east. Thus far the missionary work had been a success. Many Indians had been converted to this new belief. The missionaries had had many narrow escapes, but the Spanish jewels, guns, armor, and their new doctrine had prevented the necessity of fighting. August rolled around, and the expedition had penetrated the southern bounda­ ries of what is now Colorado.

One evening as they came over a ridge of mountains, they gazed with wonder at a sight unbelievable一here in the midst of green vegetation was a veritable miniature Sahara Desert, its sand dunes drifting steadily with the gentle breeze. Across this desert they could see the towering peaks of a great range.

The young priest immediately called a council, and it was decided to travel north to these mountains.

After baiting several days, resting their horses and laying in provisions they started with eager anticipation. The sands, although seeming to extend only a few miles, completely fooled them. They spent three days traversing them. A wind storm had caught them, and now when they finally did find their way across, they were tired, half starved, and suffering for lack of water. To add to this predicament, their scouts reported that the Indian tribes ahead appeared to be hostile. No amount of dissuading could prevent the priest from going on. They con­ tinued onward several days, until they came to a beautiful lake, surrounded on nearly all sides by a great mountain range. The towering peaks with their snow-capped domes, the well-wooded sides extending upward to the timber-line, beyond which no tree can extend, those all cast their reflections upon the mirror­ like surface of the lake, creating an incomparable sight.

Here on the plain surrounding the lake, as the afternoon was drawing to its end, the companies were ambushed by forty-five Ute Indians. To their surprise the Indians did not attack, but made signs for a pow-wow. The priest with his in­ terpreter went out to talk with the chief. He was persuaded to let the priest talk to his braves the next day and promised not to attack that night. The priest went back to his men, and they spent the night by the shores of the lake. Here they con­ structed a few rude rafts and canoes in case they should need 97

RED to escape and also built a few barricades for protection against an attack.

The next morning the small Indian band gathered to hear this strange white person. They listened for several hours as the priest and then the interpreter spoke. Finally something the priest happened to say aroused them to frenzy. They raced to their teepees, mounted their steeds, and rode to attack the Spanish. The Spanish also prepared themselves. Here during the hot afternoon the Spanish held off the Indians, but as evening fell the constant attack of the Indians and the exhaustion produced by the previous days，wandering in the desert forced the remaining thirteen Spanish defenders to attempt an escape across the lake. They made good their attempt, but in so doing the priest was mortally wounded.

Several soldiers helped him into the boat. He knew he was about to die, so he asked to be raised to a sitting position.

What the young priest saw as he gazed out across the smooth expanse of the lake with the snowy mountain peaks jutting from behind and everything tinted in its brilliant red of the setting sun was expressed by his last words, “Sangre De Christo,” truly a remark that would show the last thoughts of such a man, for Sangre De Cristo from the Spanish means Blood of Christ. His body was quietly slipped into the cool waters, and the remaining men returned safely to Mexico.

Perhaps this story is a legend. You no doubt will consider it as such, but I’m sure if you yourself were able to take a trip to Colorado and there look across the same lake with the same awe-inspiring Sangre De Cristo Mountains raising their white cones to touch the scarlet heavens, you could still hear in the gentle breeze a faint voice whispering, “Sangre De Cristo.”

SWEET HUMILITY

by L.

One seldom reads about the scenic beauty and the general character of the landscape of western Wisconsin. If he goes to a library and gets a book on the geograghy of Wisconsin, he can learn a little about western Wisconsin, but still the more remote parts are left untouched because one can hardly expect a book on geography to present much descriptive writing.

98

RED There is a certain section of western Wisconsin which in­ terests me in particular. This is the Kickapoo Valley, especially the head of it. Practically at the head of this river is situated a small town called Wilton. It is said that this town is named after an old Indian chieftain. The town has a population of about 500, (it used to be 734), and its more important interests are a high school, four churches (two Lutheran), a creamery, and a fine saw mill. A state highway and the Chicago & North­ western Railroad pass through it, but it is otherwise quite for­ gotten.

A fact worth mentioning is that the Kickapoo River begins about six miles to the east of Wilton where a spring flows out of a railroad tunnel. For a few miles it is a trout stream, and, quite fortunately, Wilton’s remoteness protects it as well as other such streams from visiting fishermen.

As one observes the landscape, one is almost immediately convinced that this territory was once covered by a huge flood.

The layers of rock forming the river’s bank which is a part of the hillside indicate this. Numerous valleys in all directions separated by narrow ridges add to the scenic beauty. The ridges are cleared, agricultural land. Many of these ridges drop off at a 35-degree pitch to the valleys below them. The bottom land of the valleys is very fertile and often produces prize-winning corn, but many are too narrow for cultivation, and they afford vegetative pasture. Most of the steep hills are covered with woods which consist of both hard wood and softwood trees with jack pines intermixed. Many of these hills are fine places for to­ bogganing and skiing during the winter months.

In the fall after there have been a few frosts, the leaves of the trees on the hillsides are a motley garment over these hills.

Red, yellow, semi-orange, purple, dark and light brown leaves, and the green protrusions of the pine trees make a picture which one can hardly forget. This picture is most prominently illustrious during the first hour after sunrise and again in the late afternoon daring the last two hours before sunset. One cannot truly perceive and enjoy such scenery unless he has once observed it. Often in the fall nature lovers motor from Madison and La Crosse to German Ridge (South Ridge) which .is southeast of Wilton. From almost any part of this ridge one 99

RED can view about twenty-five different hillsides and at least eight different valleys.

It is on these hills, in these valleys, and in these woods that I often spend my vacations. These places were my favorite haunts before I left home. In the spring and summer as well as in the fall I like to take my rifle and hound and go for a stroll in this blessed outdoors. Wild life is quite abundant here, and many wild flowers grow quite luxuriantly.' I’ve often noticed ferns growing on the hillsides facing the north which would make tame ferns turn pale with envy, could they.

When I was very young I wondered why Wilton couldn’t become big like Sparta or La Crosse. Once I attended the class-night exercises at the local high school, and I was struck with astonishment but was soon filled with contempt after I had heard the class prophecy. Some fanciful dreamer had changed the town into a Chicago and had set many of the class members in its metropolis as successful business men. All this had occurred in a mere 20 years.

The next day I took my rifle, dog, and a book of poetry and went for a stroll. In a narrow glen running down to a valley proper I sat down on a huge rock and read a poem, a poem about the last rose of summer. I believe this day was about the twentieth of May. After I had finished the poem I glanced about myself and my gaze fell upon a lonely violet.

This modist violet grew in this shady bed with its stalk bent and hung its head as if to hide from view. And yet it was a bright, fair, lovely flower and might just as well have graced some rosy bower instead of hiding there. But it seemed content to bloom there and to diffuse its sweet perfume within the silent shade. Now as nostalgia begins to creep over me, I wish I were again in this valley to see this pretty flower grow in sweet humility. ______________ TRUE LOVE NEVER RUNS SMOOTH

by FREDERIC KOSANKE

UNEXPLAINABLE SUICIDE was the title Evelyn read in the evening paper. “Pfc. William Ruell last night at 11:30 ended his life by jumping from the Twenty-second Street bridge. His officers at the training camp could not explain his action. Pfc. Ruell had the reputation of being always cheerful.

100

RED Yesterday noon he left the camp on a weekend pass, his first pass for two months. As he left the camp he was seen carrying a duffel bag in one hand and a letter in the other. The letter, which might give police a clue, is missing. Pfc. Ruell was not known to have had any near relatives.”

That letter—she must destroy it before Joe found it. Joe was the middle-aged store owner Evelyn was “going steady” with. Her mother had always told her that blind love didn’t pay. No wonder, since her father was a poor neighborhood handy man. Still, she and Bill had seemed made for each other. “Stop it, I can’t bear to think of it,” she told herself.

Last afternoon a uniformed messenger had brought a package containing all the letters she had ever written Bill.

He really loved me to the last,” thought Evelyn. "Oh, stop it, stop thinking. Bill was just a boy who had left an orphanage to become an auto mechanic. He had no real future. But Joe—’’ Evelyn picked up the letters and started reading some of them. Here was the one she’d written him after that wonder­ ful weekend two months ago. What a wonderful time they’d had—Saturday they had gone out to the amusement park and spent the whole day there, taking rides, eating popcorn, row­ ing out on the little pond. She had told Bill he would have made a better sailor. And Sunday they had gone to hear a symphony in the afternoon and to a play at night. Bill had always had good taste. “I was glad to hear that you arrived at the station safely,” she read. It really had seemed to matter awfully then. And here was the part where she had suggested the hike一why had she ever done it? “I could tell you of one thing that you might' enjoy when you come next time. I have several friends who often go bike-riding on Sunday afternoons; there is a store near our home where we can rent bicycles for the day—’’ It would have been fun, too, but—the next letter— ‘‘I’m typing this during my lunch period—Well, I surely hope it warms up soon, because I’m looking forward to that bike hike.

I think we can arrange to have a wiener roast that day too, be­ cause the hike wouldn’t be complete without it. I’ll manage to get the points, I hope. You know, I started to write a letter to you last night already, but I just couldn’t seem to concentrate on what I was doing.” Couldn’t Bill have read between the 101 I c

RED lines there? The night before, she and Joe had painted the town. "If I remember correctly, you asked for a picture in your last letter. I don’t have one right now, but as soon as I have one taken—’’ Bill couldn’t have fallen for that one, could he? She’d signed it “As ever’’，but it wasn’t and could never be the same.

The one on the bottom of the pile—Bill had always been so careful; he’d arranged the letters according to the postmarks 一 that was the letter mentioned in the paper. She should have written before, but somehow couldn’t bring herself to do it. Bill must have gotten it just when he left camp. ‘‘I don’t know how to say this, but I hope you will understand. We never Now your whole should have planned so far in advance. weekend will probably be spoiled.

Professor Bolle graduated from Doctor Martin Luther College, New Ulm. After his graduation he taught for four years at St. John’s Parochial School in St. Paul. In 1902 he was called to Northwestern, where he both taught and directed the college band. In 1908 he organized the Male Chorus as a 102

5IRED permanent organization. Under him it grew into one of the best organizations of its kind in the state. Chorus tours were made through Michigan and Ohio. Besides his teaching duties he found time to further his education, taking his Bachelor of Arts degree at Northwestern in 1915 and studying at the Uni­ versities of Chicago and Wisconsin during the summer months.

Professor and Mrs. Bolle will remain close to Northwestern, making their home at 604 Eleventh Street. We hope they will also remain interested and active in school activities.

IN MEMORIAM SERGEANT KARL UPPLEGGER

、

On a flat near where the r waters of the San Carlos and Gila Rivers joined in old Apacheland Karl F. Uplegger was born October 28, 1923. | 薷 The flat is now covered by the quiet waters of San Carlos j Lake, formed by Coo lid ge Dam. From childhood he was always a happy, yet serious- ! minded boy, bringing joy to : his parents and to his Apache Indian playmates, whom he : loved dearly next to his cousin Rupert Rosin, who grew up like a brother with him.

Karl finished his eighth grade at Peridot Mission School, his uncle Rosin being his teacher. Thereafter he attended the Globe High School, from which he was graduated with honors in 1941.

After that he attended Northwestern College at Watertown, Wisconsin, to prepare for work in his church. While attending Northwestern, Karl was a conscientious student. He 103

5PRED took a prominent part in class athletics and was very active in the musical organizations, playing first violin in the College Orchestra. His departure left a vacancy which could not be filled.

Before being- inducted into the armed forces he desired to enlist in the Army Air Forces. To his great disappointment all enlistments were closed by presidential proclamation the day after he arrived home in Arizona from College at Thanksgiving time, 1942. He was inducted into the Army March 1, 1943, and sent to Fort McClellan, Alabama, for basic infantry training.

While there he easily passed the tests for the Air Forces and was transferred to Miami Beach, Florida, for pilot training.

For the five-month Aviation Student Training he was sent to Duquesne University, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. But in April, 1944，the Army wanted more men in the Ground Forces, so, together with some 110,000 other men, he was transferred back into the infantry and sent to Camp Picket, Virginia.

October, ] 944，he was sent across the Atlantic with the 78th or Lightning Division. After stopping in England and passing through France and Belgium he was sent to the front in Germany with the First Army a little south of Aachen in the Huertgen Forest. From there on he went through many fierce battles in cold and blizzards in the sector at Kesternich, at Schmidt, and at the big Schwammanuel Dam on the Roer River.

In house-to-house fighting, out of a group of twenty men, seventeen were mowed down as casualties; he by the grace of the Lord was one of the three remaining. A sniper’s bullet once struck his forehead, but the Lord permitted his helmet to deflect it so that it did not harm him.

But in the afternoon of March 1, when his platoon was advancing up the slope of a hill, it was caught in artillery shell fire. The lieutenant was seriously wounded and called for aid.

As Karl was about to turn to him, the buddy about three feet from him was dismembered by a shell, and a fragment of it struck Karl in the back, destroying his left kidney and his spleen, tearing his pancress and puncturing his stomach. Med’cs hurried him to a first aid station and to a hospital in Aachen.

Karl was full of praise for the care he received there and at the American Hospital at Le Mans, France, to which he was taken 104

RED and where he was kept until April 1. After a ten-day delay in being evacuated from Paris he was flown by way of the Azores to Presque Isle, Maine, where he could happily call up his parents on the telephone. Then he was flown to Fitzsimmons U. S. General Hospital at Denver, Colorado. There he was treated by some of the best specialists in the country. They tried to build him up to sufficient strength to withstand another operation.

But his torn pancress could not heal; his body lost the benefit of it and slowly wasted away.

His parents and little sister were with him at the hospital the last three weeks and three days. His grandfather also was able to visit him. Until three days before his death it was still hoped that he mi^ht gain strength through new treatment.

But the nature of his wound caused all his energy and flesh to waste away, until he was unable to receive any more blood transfusions. He had practically lived on plasma and glucose for eleven weeks. ‘‘The Lord delivereth the righteous.” The Lord delivered Karl from all his suffering on Pentecost Sunday, May 20, seven years to the hour from the day he was confirmed. His father was reminding him of it and reading to him his confirmation hymn, his own favorite, Lord, Thee I Love With all my Heart, when the Lord relieved him.

Mentally he was clear to the end, speaking with correct understanding and hearing clearly. In spirit he was always cheerful and resigned to the will of the Lord.

Although he was really dying from the time that he was wounded, we are thankful to the Lord for bringing him back to Denver, Colorado, so that his parents could be with him in his last days and could bring him back to his beloved mountains in Apacheland, among which he longed so much to be. He was laid to rest at Peridot Mission Cemetery near San Carlos, Arizona, on May 26, 1945. A military escort accompanied his body from the hospital to his home.

Jbttartal Is Northwestern Deteriorating?..

'HE article, “Panta Rhei. Cave!’’，(Everything flows.

Beware!) of the May issue of the Black and Red states, “I see dark days ahead for Northwestern. I see a future of steady deterioration and decline. It is inevitable. It cannot happen otherwise. All indications point to it.” PLEASE read this article and you will get the point Tuch is trying to make.

I’do not desire to:commit myself. I believe we should let the facts speak for themselves. And now I shall endeavor to treat this subject by stating both the affirmative and the negative sides of it in a most peculiar argument form.

AFFIRMATIVE：

1. The fact that Vm writing this editorial is one point against “Panta Rhei. Cave!’’

106

RED

l'

2. This is war, total war, and we have an accelerated course.

Complimentarily speaking, other colleges have not only short­ ened their time limit, but they have also decreased the material formerly presented in their various courses, Northwestern has done them one better.

3. We didn’t have school off on Ascension Day, on Pentecost Monday, or on Decoration Day. Hundreds of huge defense plants throughout the nation gave this day off, but North­ western could not afford to. The College Band ^id not even take part in the local parade this year. Now I ask,- “How can any­ one say that Northwestern is deteriorating?”

4. These changes are in disagreement with Heracleitus’s philosophy. You see, everything isn’t flowing in such a manner that what goes into this flowing can’t come out as its former self; things are changed and will be changed again. It’s hoped that this second changing will result in what was before the first changing occured.

5. Did you ever read the College Catalog? It is very enlighten­ ing.

6. The fact that we have harmony is a sign that we are a healthy organism. Conflicting changes, both bad and good, balance each other and produce this existing harmony.

NEGATIVE：

1. Some of the buildings are deteriorated, and often certain lectures degenerate into mere verbalism, but, considering our optimistic future and its long-time improvement plans, this point tends to take on an affirmative color.

2. The fact that we go to school all year around is tough on us.

3. The fact that we have to both work and study during the summer months is a challenge to our constitutions.

4. Can we bear the brunt of this burden? Will we have more and longer permissions during these hot, scorching summer months?

5. Fresh air is refreshing, and we hope the same set-up concerning permissions that was in effect last summer will again exist.

6. There are some fellows who will ultimately cease to exist here if their status isn’t bettered.

7. Must young men be treated as though they were youngsters?

107

*

RED 8. We do have forty-nine collegiates and a few co-eds, but only a few of the boys write for the B. & R., and we haven’t had an article by a co-ed all year, or shouldn’t we consider this as a negative point?

A man has the right to vote, the freedom to think, to act, to speak for himself. Let us never deprive him or deprive ourselves of these rights. And again I ask, ‘‘Is Northwestern deteriorating?”

L. Wurster

Thoughts In The Concert Hall ...

o

FTEN after a concert by some nationally known vocal artist one may hear remarks about as follows: ‘‘I admired the singing and artistry, but why so many foreign songs?”

This complaint is borne out by the statistics that I have obtained of four standard concerts. I found that there were thirty-six foreign selections sung but only twenty-one in the English language.

At every concert there are present two distinct personali­ ties, that of the performer and that of the listener. Each one has his definite viewpoint and argument as to what should be the make-up of the program.

Above all, the artist wants to give out with his best efforts, and to be able to do it he must sing good songs. In his opinion, and rightly so, Continental compositions rank above the American and British. That automatically calls for a majority of foreign selections. Now what sort of foreign songs will he choose? If he, like the greater number of top ranking singers, is a European, he will demand that at least one section of his program consist of songs written by his countrymen. Another section must be set aside for arias or airs from French, Italian, German, or possibly Russian compositions. His supreme effort is an aria from some famous opera. This aria is usually long and very difficult to sing and here he has the opportunity to dis­ play his full ability and musical talents. This one selection is a section in itself. If the program consists of the customary five sections, then he still has two sections left to arrange. It does seem that nowadays most artists are willing, although with a bad conscience, to allow two sections to songs written by 108

RED American and British composers. Yet there are still some who do not even give that much time to songs of our tongue, either because they overestimate the musical education of the average listener, or because they simply like to show off their ability. At any rate, the performer usually has good reasons for choosing what he wants to sing in the concert hall.

But what about the average listener? By and large, most people still come to concerts to be entertained rather than to be forced to do some hard thinking. Certainly it is a treat for the listener when the soprano flutters around in the general vicinity of the clouds or when the bass is somewhere in the cellar. How­ ever, he who pays at the ticket office isn’t going to be satisfied if he can understand less than half of the selections.

Now where is the happy medium? First of all, why not permit the artist to show his personality and devote a section to songs his mother taught him? Allow him also to sing that difficult aria, so the listener knows why the artist has such a high reputation.. To the hearer give two full sections of English or American airs, ballads, and folk songs of various mood.

That leaves one section unaccounted for. Let the singer choose foreign tunes, but have him sing in translation, since an audience is rarely made up of predominantly one nationality.

By way of illustration, consider the Odyssey. What does a man who did not have a chance to go to college care if this epic was written three thousand years ago in a language that he does not understand? True, he may feel that it would be even more enjoyable to read in the original, but he knows that in his case a translation is certainly better than not to know anything about it at all. What do you think?* —Frederick Kempfert •We shall answer that question in August, Ed.

Lloyds of London ...

HIS movie is one of the very few which can be classed as historical, interesting, and worth wile.

The contents portrayed the early days of Lloyds of London and their gradual growth and expansion until their scope of in­ suring was all inclusive.

One of the pleasing factors of the picture was that the love scenes were reduced to almost a minium. The directors very wisely portrayed only those loves and results which had a direct bearing on the future course of the now famous insurance company.

While on the subject of movies I would like to add this remark. Much criticism has fallen on the previous class as to the selection of movies. To those who have made such remarks I would like to say, “Let’s not PRESS our judgments until we know the circumstances involved in selecting these movies.”

Seventeen ... said about this movie the better---- childish, adoles­ TH Ecent,lessnaive, simple, absurd, unreal, wanting plot, illogical, silly, abnormal, in other words, off the beam, out of the groove, and corny___but definitely. 一Mar Fink R. Acknowledgement and Thanks

^RED On Sunday, June 3, Rev. M. J. Hillemann, 1890, preached his farewell sermon at Marshall, Wisconsin, to become pastor emeritus. He will take new residence at Norwalk, Wisconsin. • The following is an excerpt from an article which appeared in the Milwaukee Journal, written by war correspondent Robert J. Doyle: “The young ensign on the right showed interest when he heard us mention Milwaukee. He was from Milwaukee too. He introduced himself as Phil Koehler. He had recently returned from the Okinawa operation with an outfit that has the respect of all other fighting men in the Pacific. The important work performed by Koehler’s outfit is so hazardous that all men in it are volunteers.

The serious young ensign was studying for the ministry at the Lutheran Theological Seminary at Thiensville when he decided to enter the service. He had completed two years of the three year course. "‘I just wanted to get into something tough,’ he replied, when asked why he volunteered for the special duty.

“Phil Koehler is a sort of unofficial chaplain when no regu­ lar chaplain is available. In the Okinawa operation he took time out from his dangerous ducy to conduct Protestant services for his outfit.”

Ensign Koehler, *42, is a member of a demolition squad.

His business is to spot mines in enemy waters just before an invasion by our armed forces. One early morning not so long ago he was swimming around near a Jap held beach in full sight of whatever Nips happened to be looking his way. He expected a burst of machine gun fire momentarily and felt rather uncomfortable until an item out of the past popped into his mind and diverted him. He happened to remember that he had left Watertown without handing in a last assignment, a report on a novel. In reliving this incident from his life at Northwestern he forgot about the danger he was in and went about his job fearlessly. As soon as he got back to headquarters he wrote a letter to the professor in question relating his experience. The letter arrived a few days before the above report appeared in the paper.

Home on furlough, Pfc. Joe Nitz, ex ’46, joined his former classmates one mid-May day to get the feel of school life again.

He looked right at home except for the cavalryman’s uniform he was wearing. Joe completed his training at Camp Pitchie, Maryland, and is now transferred to Ft. Ord, California, to be placed in some service of the Military Intelligence.

Lt. Werner Neitzke, ex ’46，who is a P-51 pilot, writes from the Philippines: “Two years ago yesterday (May 18) I had just completed my first day in the army..........Out here we have to build our own huts. A lot of work, but it pays off. .We still get five packages of cigarettes a week. We can even get coke and ice cream in the restaurants, although it costs about fifty or seventy-five cents for each.’.’ The bitter and the sweet seem to come well mixed, no matter where or how life is lived.

AND

The clouds are unloading their cargo damp; You can’t buck at noon ’thout a study lamp; The sidewalks are wet every day!

Rain! Precipitation! Dampness! Humidity! Moisture!

With chilling wind and a drizzling fog In weather that’s not even fit for a dog The fellows can’t even play ball—pshaw!

It sure is muddy and wet out—has been for a week now (must be cuz we’re in Wisconsin.) But it seems to be clearing up at last (we hope).

We were discussing this accelerated course in class one day.

Why does it hafta be? Many complained that it didn’t give them enough time to earn money, and then Boots pipes up, “It used to be that ministers weren’t in debt until they were out in the ministry, but now they’re in the red even before they graduate!M__ And then in Hebrew class this same gent was asked to give the Hebrew form for “her horse.” Maybe he knew it, but he had just thought of something else when he said, ‘‘The Jews didn’t allow their women to have horses, did they? Then why learn that form?” Tsk, Tsk. 114

RED Here comes Eddie with a Bang Bang! “How come，is he out hunting?” you ask. Sounds like it, doesn’t it, but you’re wrong. He simply associated with a *'hunter/1 (cf. German meaning of hunter.)

What pangs of hunger won’t drive a person to do!—One evening acoupleofusguys got wind of some sort of chuckfest up in the “hole,” Casually meandering up to the fourth floor we noticed that a light was burning in the B. and R. room. A sizzling sound verified for us the rumor that "something was cookin’.” Upon opening the door we were met by a variety of odors: onions, hot grease, and fried meat of some kind. The ‘‘chef’’ said we were welcome to some, so we helped ourselves to the meat, which, by the way, was quite delicious. Then we found out we’d been eating, of all things, horse meat! But that didn’t stop us; we had some more. Everyone agreed, “Not bad, not bad at all!’’一No, Radtke didn’t buy the horse at an auction.

Schumann and Demcak have taken a liking to getting meals at the Washington Hotel. They always have the same delicious “dishes.”

Reported by One Hoo Nose.

From pushmobile to rattletrap, From rattletrap to roar, And when he put the muffler on, It didn’t roar no more.

But other things went wrong with it: Bent fenders, peeling paint, The horn kicked off, the tires blew, Well, that was fixed, ’n first thing we knew He brought her back a hideous blue!

Observed reactions: Oi yoi yoi! Ouch! It can’t be true! Gimme air! It’s funny how often that Albrecht car gets into this column, but it just can’t be helped! You hafta see it yourself to know what I mean. This last alteration beats all. Mind you, a sky blue paint job with yellow wheels!

(Note liberal use of poetic license in above verses.)

We never thought of Rische as a quarrelsome lad, but it seems that every now and then he develops a Zanlcgeist.

115

RED Hard as everyone tries to get up for breakfast, it just isn’t always possible for some to make it. This means, of course, that if such a person is human, he’ll get hungrier than usual before dinner and try to satisfy this desire for food in every possible way. In emergencies edibles have even been smuggled into class. Candy bars, cookies, nuts, even chocolate milk is alleged to have been devoured in the classroom. This helps to stave off famine until noon. Restrictions force one to bring the stuff unwrapped.

You can hear that recorder down in Fischer’s room going at the oddest hours. And all it plays is classical music, too.

Sometimes before classes the sweet strains of a Strauss waltz can be heard in the triangle; occasionally, late at night, the tutor has to interrupt a Beethoven symphony. But that’s the only thing those poor lads have to listen to, seeing there’s no radio in their room. It boosts morale too, I understand.

Can a collegiate be given sweeping? It seems that any member of the faculty can force anyone caught cluttering up a classroom to clean up the whole room. Ask Olp. It won’t be long, just a few more days, the hours are roll­ ing by and soon, after a brief period of mental relaxation---The Summer Quarter. Nobody’s too downhearted about it though; we remember last summer. The weather was comfortable throughout (there were only a few really hot days); the class schedules were just right; “supervised self-government” worked well; the meals were good; and most of us earned a tidy little sum. Let’s hope it’s that way again. Then there were our friends from New Ulm who helped make life pleasant.

Some of them have now graduated, but we are looking forward to seeing the others back; we welcome them and all new sum­ mer students who might be making their home with us this summer.

There are six culprits who are looking1 forward to the end of this quarter more than anyone else. You see, they’re kinda restricted to the campus and haven’t got much to say around the preps. Oh, it’s a hard life all right! But then rules are rules, aren’t they. I wonder whether they ever found that blue light bulb that stormy, wet night.

See you in August!

ATHLETICS FOR AULD LANGE SYNE 40 years ago: Wisconsin Business College of Madison came to Watertown to play Northwestern for the first time. Wendland, the first man to bat, hit a home run. This took the wind out of the visitors’ sails. The game ended 9 to 1 in our favor.

30 years ago: Northwestern wasn’t doing so well in baseball this season.

There were only two victories in seven games. The team, how­ ever, did defeat the Watertown City team to take the city championship for the third successive year.

20 years ago: Coach Eickmann succeeded in giving Northwestern a fine spirited college team. Enthusiasm was also high on the bleachers. Every little bit helps.

10 years ago: Out of six ball games Northwestern won five and tied the Seminary 3 to 3 when the game was called in the tenth inning.

Captain Schroeder was doing an excellent job getting hits at the right time.

5 years ago: The Ziesemer—Koehler combination was holding its own in the Badger State Conference with five victories and one defeat.

1 year ago: No baseball—just a lot of odds and ends and stuff.

This year: Enough said!

HE COLLECTED ANTIQUES fnj L.

Heart House was one of Nevalt’s oldest, big and square, of white clapboard with green shutters on the windows. It was set among tremendous trees which afforded a cool, shady spot on this warm day in August. On the veranda of the house, facing the east, sat Fred Heart, smoking his pipe, At first glance, one would have let that suffice and continued on his way, but, on second glance, one could see that Fred’s mind had deeply ensconced itself in some problem, as was evidenced by the puzzled look on his face. Why did he appear puzzled?

Surely he wasn’t just recalling to mind how he, as a mere boy, used to play Indian about the house, stealthily creeping from tree to tree, or how the world at present was going to the dogs.

No, he was an old bachelor, and one could hardly expect him seriously to consider such things. It was rumored that he was a trifle quaint, but the citizens of Nevalt lightly overlooked that. They did admire his hobby, which was collecting antiques; but why did he collect Greek antiques? He had a statue of the sprinter, a bust of Socrates, Greek lounges and chairs. No one 118

r

RED had known him ever to have travelled in Greece. They did admit that he was rather philosophical. Perhaps he bought these antiques because he had much money, but the logical things for a wealthy person to do was to get married, take a trip around the world, or to give huge donations to charitable organizations. Clara Heart, Fred’s sister, said that she remembered that Fred once considered marriage seriously, but she couldn’t recall what had happened. She, and perhaps only she, attributed his quaintness to this disappointment in life.

“Hello,” said a husky voice, coming from around the cor­ ner of the house, “is Nona at home?” Fred jumped up from the chair he was sitting on, almost letting his pipe fall from his mouth.

“Well，I’ll be, if it ain’t Captain Bell, how are you, Howard?” Howard was six feet one, in an Air Force captain’s uniform with sufficient ribbons on his chest. It didn’t seem in character for him ever to be hopeless or glum. After this surveying the old bachelor replied, ‘‘Yes, my niece is at home, but I doubt very much whether you will get to see her today.

She’s very busy. You see, we are opening a national charity drive for the needy in Greece, beginning right here in Nevalt -today. A princes is coming to this Heart House, where Clara is preparing a huge banquet, after which plans for the drive shall get under way.”

"Oh, I understand,” said Howard, “but why does something like this have to turn up when I have just got a short furlough? When I go to the house to see Nona, somehow Clara finds all sorts of things for her to do. Somehow I never get a word with Nona alone. Is it because my father works in the steel mills and Mr. Heart is a banker? Is this America?

Is this democracy?”

After meditating for a while, Fred said “Yep, I guess it is. You know, when I was a young feller like you I knew a girl just like Nona. She was a teacher, too, but she also be­ came somewhat arrogant and haughty. I can’t believe that she was that way just because she was a teacher though. It coulda been that she wasn’t sure of me. Anyhow I got into the last war, and when I returned she was gone. But excuse rae，you could ring the door bell and call Nona from her work.”

119

RED Just then there was a flash of white around the corner of the veranda, and Nona Heart walked sedately toward the two.

“Hello, Uncle Fred,” she called. ‘‘I thought I’d • • • Oh, Hello,” she said to Howard. “When did you get here?’’ she innocently asked. Howard gazed at her. She must have been watching from the upper window of the house all the time. He wrestled with his awe-struck tongue. Nona’s plain white house dress magnified her gray-eyed, blond-haired prettiness into actual beauty. She looked like something designed to go on the top of a cake.

"I just came a minute to talk to your uncle,’’ he managed finally.

Fred reflected that Howard couldn’t have been this scared of rockets and machine guns over Cherbourg. He wouldn’t have won those ribbons if he had.

"Well, I don’t want to interrupt...” Nona turned and went into the house.

Howard was a bit put back and thought to himself that he wouldn’t even get to take her boat riding this afternooon, and, voicing his thoughts, “Gee, it looks like I won’t even be invited to the banquet.”

"Sure does,” added his old friend, "but did you ever crash a party? I know that I won’t be invited. Clara’s never seen me in good clothse. She thinks me quaint for not spending my money on such things and getting around. I tell you what.

I’ll get my tuxedo on and we’ll show those society gals whether we can’t make an impression at their banquet.’’

After Nona had gone into the house, Ella, the cook, sur­ mised that something had taken place, because Nona was so quiet. “No secrets around here my lady, you aren’t thinking of marriage already, are you?’’ she asked. «« Goodness, no，’’ said Nona. “The captain hasn’t even got around to telling me that he loves me yet.”

At five in the afternoon the guests began to arrive, and by a quarter to six they were all present, except the princess.

Clara had planned it this way, because she wanted them all to be present to receive the princess. Clara and Nona were anxiously awaiting her arrival. They expected her to come in some big limousine, escorted by army officers. But at five minutes to six there was a slight squeak of brakes at the curb and the door 120

RED bell rang. Nona went to the door herself. At the curb was a small, brown sedan as American as soda pop. At the door was a little old lady in a nice, blue summer suit. She looked more like an American than like a Greek princess. “You are Mrs. Heart?” the little old lady asked.

“Miss Heart,’’ corrected Nona, smiling back. “You’re the princess, aren’t you?’’

“Mrs. Elizabeth Johnkeir,” the little old lady said, and Miss Heart led her to the banquet table. The guests pretended not to be astonished, although they felt they were in for a set­ back. But soon they were won over by Mrs. Johnkeir’s charming American ways and her sincere speech about the charity drive. As a princess they thought she was strange.

As an American she was grand.

Nona happened to glance at the wide livingroom doorway, and her gaze froze there. "Uncle Fred!” she exclaimed. Clara turned, stiffened in horror, but not for long. Fred had crashed the banquet, but not in slacks; instead he was in a tuxedo that gave him an unreal, other-worldly appearence. Beside him was a six-foot-one bomber captain, not in the least sure of himself.

Mrs. Johnkeir turned as white as chalk. She dropped her tea cup, stood up, and like someone walking in sleep she went to Fred Heart. “Fred,” she whispered. “Fred, Fred • • •，’ It was all she could seem to say，but it appeared to be enough.

Fred took her hand in his and kissed it. It was as good as a kiss on the lips. The look in his eyes and hers told them that.

"I saw the name Heart in the invitation, Fred,” Mrs. Johnkeir said, But I couldn’t... Oh, and here is captain Bell. Well how are you? As well as you were when 1 met you in London, I hope. Won’t you stay for the banquet?，’ ‘‘No, thank you so very kindly though; I just dropped in to take Nona boating.”

"Well, captain, do stop in to see me on your way through New York, when we can dine less formally.”

Mrs. Johnkeir and Fred asked to be excused for a few moments. *'You know that the king is dead now?’’ she said to Fred. ‘‘He just couldn’t believe that his Greece was gone. I have nothing now that I had before. I am just a little old lady now.”

“That’s all right,” said Fred, "and you seem different too.

But tell me, can you cook?”

RED A MOMENT OF HAPPINESS /if/ TED IIORNEBER

Everywhere marines in battle garb were crowding the decks. All were quiet, and it was evident that they were awaiting a landing on some lonely strip of rocky coast.

On the first deck near the rail stood a handsome marine.

He was gazing off into the darkness. He stood very still, almost as though he were some product of adamant rather than flesh and blood. His fingers were clasped tightly about the stock of his automatic rifle. To the ordinary eye there was nothing visible, only that impenetrable darkness. Yet for Bruce Wayne there was, beyond that darkness, the portrait of a lovely woman. Her face was plain, still she had several distinguishing characteristics. We might note her long flowing hair and her eyes, which were in themselves limpid pools of beauty. It was diflicult for him to understand why, yet she continually haunted his memory, and tonight especially she seemed to be beckoning to him with her smile.

Her name was Carol Anderson. She wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a movie star, not even a model, but just a sweet, respected, home-town girl.

She was one with whom Bruce had spent much of his time.

Then on his last evening at home they had quarreled. Bruce had never told anyone, but he had always been a little skeptical concerning human nature, and at times he even doubted the essence of love. Women in general seemed to him to be a rather capricious lot. At any rate he had observed too much unfaithfulness in people to believe in anyone, especially a woman. Perhaps this was the cause of their parting. On that fateful evening Carol had mentioned certain sentimentalities, and Bruce had stupidly explained to her his disbelief in love and woman, which women themselves so earnestly contest. It developed into a rather heated argument with the result that Bruce finally left in a rage of temper.

It was the last time he had seen her. In the early morning he departed, perhaps never to return. It was just at that time in the war against the Japanese that infantrymen were in such great demand. After a brief basic training he was sent to the Pacific theater to join a regiment of seasoned warriors. Ever since that time there followed in his path a wave of blood, 122

RED death, and destruction. Now once again they were moving forward.

Bruce had always been able to convince himself that he had been correct, but now there was a certain loneliness which he was not able to combat. His bold attitude didn’t seem to help him. And then, it was almost like the coming of the dawn.

Suddenly the barriers which he had built up were beginning to dissolve. His mind, once clouded, began to clear, and then he knew, he did love her. With her there was everything, with­ out her, nothing. It was so obvious. Why hadn’t he known this before? He wasn’t a man who used hard language, but now he cursed silently that the realization had come too late.

He wanted to tell her immediately, but many miles of ocean so lovely! seperated them. Still he could see her face He didn’t take notice, but the sounds of battle, which had been remote, were now increasing in intensity and volume.

And then as they grew louder, the darkness began to dissolve, and in the east reddish streaks of dawn appeared. It was only a short time until the alert sounded and the loudspeaker blared out orders to stand by.

The initial attack had begun earlier that morning. Many hours before dawn the naval escort had moved in close to shore and had begun the softening up process. For hours volley after volley of ear splitting explosions rocked the island. Finally * orders arrived, and the men transferred to landing barges to take a more personal part in the battle. The Japanese, how­ ever, were very skillful in digging in and fortifying, so that when the marines landed, they still met very stubborn resistance.

Bruce was awakened from his reverie by the blare of the loud speaker, had transferred to a waiting i. c. and was now rapidly approaching the shore. He was again troubled by some strange sensation. Something was amiss. He had never felt this way before, and this wasn’t the firt time he was engaging the enemy. But now ... he was going into battle and might never return. He was afraid! He had to see her again, if only once more. He remembered now, especially, the hurt in her eyes. Eyes, “The lamp unto the soul.”

123

RED A shell landing a short distance behind the craft exploded with a shower of spray. Bruce stumbled forward and almost fell. By the time he had again gained his equilibrium they were approaching1 their landing position. The white crests sweeping up on the beaches moved serenely around the wreckage of equipment and men. “Hulks of time.” No! • • . Bruce wanted to live, for the present . . . and the future. The L. C. came to a stop and the men hurried ashore. Shells were landing closer now. One landing craft about thirty yards to the left of them received a direct hit. '4Lord have mercy on them!” It took only a few moments for the first sergeant to take stock of the situation, and after hasty commands the men began to spread out and seek shelter.

There was a whining sound. Bruce threw himself forward and lay flat on his face. It seemed almost as though the end of the world were approaching. His breath was short. He could feel the perspiration on his forehead. Then it happened.

First there was a blinding flash and immediately following, a terrific explosion. Bruce was thrown about, and darkness as a thick veil began to envelop him. He tried to get to his feet, but his body seemed very heavy. He teetered for a moment. Then his legs gave way and he collapsed. Darkness encircled him and all was oblivion.

It was early twilight when Carol finally made her appear­ ance walking up the winding path to the Anderson home. She was indeed an inspiration. She was tired; yet her face shone with that shining brilliance of aesthetic beauty. Her lovely brownish hair, which flowed gracefully over her shoulders, was adorned with a beautiful white rose.

Her appearance, however, didn’t disclose the sudden change in the weather. The sky was beginning to fill with angry clouds, and it was rapidly growing dark. Carol reached the porch just as the first drops of rain began to fall. As she opened the door, she felt a sudden draft of cold air. It didn’t seem quite natural, but she dismissed the thought and entered.

She paused to place her bag on the writing desk. As she did her hand brushed against a pad of paper which had been placed against the lamp. She held it up to the faint light from the window. She could just make it out: “Carol, Dad and I are visiting for the evening. Will be back later. Mom.” 124

RED Weary from the day’s work, she leaned back on the daven­ port to rest for a moment. She relaxed, her hair now appeared like soft yellow gold. Her face and arms were white against the dark background. She seemed peaceful. Yet in that sleep many weird shapes and forms appeared to her. Everywhere was darkness and she was all alone.

How long she had dozed we didn’t know, but suddenly she realized that a bell was ringing. Why surely, it was the door­ bell. She stood up, stumbled to the door and opened it. There was still sleep in her eyes, but she thought she could distinguish the form of. a man standing there, a man in uniform. She heard a voice, “Garol.” A_ few seconds passed before she was fully aware of the situation. “Bruce,” she cried, and in a moment she was in his arms, crying and clinging to him.

She wasn’t conscious of the succeeding events, but soon she found herself sitting next to him on the davenport. She couldn’t see his face plainly, for her eyes were still full of tears.

"Darling,” she could hear him say, “I just had to come back.”

There was only silence. Yet in that silence all her dreams were realized, everything was complete. Her eyes were dry again.

She closed them. He spoke again. This time it wasn’t so loud.

He seemed farther away. “Don’t ever be afraid, darling, I’ll always love you . . . Goodbye.” It seemed as though he only breathed these last words. “Goodbye.” Goodbye? Was he leaving?

She began to struggle. She must awaken, must stop him!

With a supreme effort she opened her eyes. Even in the dark­ ness she could see. He was gone. She ran frantically to the door and cried as it were into the night, but the only answer was the driving rain and a peal of thunder.

THE CLIFF DWELLERS ON MESA VERDE btj BILL

It was a bleak, biting wintry day in 1888, when one of the most momentous archeological discoveries of the Southwest, and of the whole United States, occurred. Two cowboys searching for some of their lost cattle stood astonished as they parted the dense growth of scrub oak on the brink of one of the numerous canyons in that region and gazed at what seemed 125

RED to be an immense palace stowed away under an overhanging cliff. It was a City of the Silent Dead. These cowboys named it Cliff Palace, which name it still retains. Since then numerous other ruins have been discovered, possibly three orďź&#x152;four hundred.

These ruins and surrounding territory are situated in the southwestern part of Colorado and are now designated by an act of Congress as a national park, called Mesa Verde. Mesa Verde is Spanish for green table. It was named by an early Spanish explorer because its flat top, heavily covered by pinon and juniper trees, is perpetually green.

Mesa Verde is known to have been inhabited by several different groups of Indians. The first group to inhabit this region lived some time after Christ, perhaps around 500 A. D. The Pueblos as indicated by the archeological discoveries had developed a high standard of civilization. The walls of their homes were of line horizontal masonry, and some villages had as many as two hundred rooms. Some of the homes reached a height of four stories. They even constructed a round tower house in perfect symmetry. These small villages were very compact and many of the small one or two-roomed homes were built on to the side of the other. There was very little privacy therefore. The building material was mud, or stone slabs topped with mud. Their pottery was well-shaped, carefully baked, and elaborately designed with different colors and designs. The cotton cloth was also beautifully decorated. They had their farms, from which they obtained food. The turkey was also prevalent. The Pueblos had a rigid and strict family life and developed a highly ritualistic religion. They even built special buildings for religious ceremonies. In front of the house was usually constructed a pit covered with a flat roof from four to ten feet deep, in which the men had secret rituals. No women were ever allowed to enter. Some of these pits were connected by tunnels. For a time this culture flourished richly. Then the end struck with sudden ruin. In the year 1276 A. D. a drought struck the region. For twenty-four consecutive years scarcely any rain fell. Year after year their crops failed, and their springs began to disappear. The people were in a precarious situation. The only escape was to abandon their homes and civilization and migrate to a region with a more dependable 126

RED water supply. Long before the drought had ended, they left, leaving everything they had, never to return. Today the ruins are exactly as they were abandoned nearly a thousand years ago, remarkably preserved, the remnant of a lost and forgotten civilization. They are believed to have moved to southern New Mexico and part of northern Arizona.

About ten of the many ruins can be visited by the tourist.

There are regularly scheduled tours conducted by Rangers during the months from May to October. All of these ruins open to public have trails down to them, so the visitor may go through the cliff dwellings and inspect them personally. To the North and East of Mesa Verde are towering mountains, which blend into the feeling of mystery and awe which a visitor feels as the story of the ancient, highly developed civilization of the Pueblos is uncovered and told. To the South and West, the forsaken deserts of Utah, New Mexico, and Arizona stretch .endlessly to unseen horizons. As you leave the City of the Silent Dead, your mind carries you back centuries t:o the time when these dwellings were inhabited and teeming with activity instead of remaining silent, as if waiting for their inhabitants to come back and resume life exactly as if they had been gone only on a few days' hunting trip. New light is being' shed on the civilization of this forgotten race with every new ruin that is discovered and explored.

SUMMER SCHOOL COEDS SOMETHING NEW HAS BEEN ADDED hij GLADYS SCHMIDT

Noontime Sunday, July 8, marked the last meal that the male students were to have alone for six then forthcoming weeks. For by two’s and three’s, twenty girls, yes girls, added a bit of confusion to the peaceful and routine life the boys had led thus far. With the desperate man shortage told about by girls hailing from Milwaukee, Fond du Lac, Brillion, and Two Rivers, the enormous number of boys at the evening meal practically overwhelmed the girls. At first we didn’t know whether we should talk to the boys or be aloof as they seemed, but gradually their excellent manners in chapel and their friendly horn-tooting outside of classes proved they did want to be a wee bit friendly.

127

RED Something mighty strange happened on that Sunday, for as soon as we got here we were registered and shown to rooms in two locations. We saw the first offer in rooms and did not like the long, slippery flight of stairs to be climbed so many times a day. Then we were led to the little cottage. I say led because that is exactly what happened. We really didn’t know what was taking place, as we were about the greenest bunch of girls that ever walked on a college campus. When we saw this cottage we wondered how the other girls could possibly have liked those rooms of the first offer. Of course we found out in due time that this was the isolation hospital or, as the boys call it, the ‘‘pest house.” It was natural we would want to move, but by then we were quarantined, and we are still here. Our matron eased our minds by assuring us that this beautiful cottage had not been inhabited since March, and then with only i\ mild disease such as scarlet fever.

The first nip,ht we had to use a step ladder to get into these high beds, but we learned that if we started to run from the kitchen we would leap into bed without the aid of a ladder.

Another bad l'、::ture of these high beds is that we can’t get bedspreads long enough to reach the floor and our matron can see whether we dusted under them by one hasty glance.

Some of Uk. boys asked us whether we have a lot of home­ work to do. Oh do, boys; whatever gave you that idea? We just stay in our dorms all afternoon and evening for the joy of it.

We girls have come to the conclusion that you boys want to give us a musical education, for why else have we heard piano, organ, tuba, accordion, drums, radios, and even vocal rendi­ tions? Someone told me it was only the New Ulm boys who could play the musical instruments. I wonder.

Do we like the meals? Well, we surely were overjoyed to have meat every day and also to have butter at every meal — even with coffee cake. But, of course, we dislike one thing yet. That is the speediness of the meals around here. We consider it quite an achievement to get our potatoes completely mashed by the time the tutor gets up to pray. Some of the boys tell me they have already lengthened the eating periods for us. How considerate. We appreciate it immensely, but we still can’t get used to saying grace in the middle of meals.

Now that we have expressed all our major griefs, we want to thank the boys for every courtesy rendered to us and want them to know that they have made our weeks here very, very pleasant.

128

RED EMERGENCY SIX-WEEK TEACHERS' COURSE This summer is unique in the history of NWC. Summer school itself is different enough, but' this quarter the very unusual has happened. We’ve been blessed with the presence of nineteen girls.

The occasion is a six-week course to train parochial school teachers to alleviate the present shortage. The pest house (officially known as the isolation hospital) and the infirmary are being used as temporary dormitories. The matron in charge is Miss Elizabeth Johannes; the course is being taught by Pro­ fessors Albrecht and Stindt from Doctor Martin Luther College, New Ulm, and Miss Sievert, teacher at St. Mark's School here.

Eight of the girls are from Fond du Lac, graduates of Winne­ bago Academy; four are graduates of Lutheran High School, Milwaukee; three from Brillion; two from Michigan; one from Minnesota; and one from Brownsville. The one fellow in the course is Mr. Alfred Kemp, teacher from North Fond du Lac taking a refresher course.

A lot of work has been crammed into six weeks, but there is some time for fun, too. Popular on the activities list are swimming at the town pool and tennis at the school courts.

Having you gals around has brightened up our ivy-covered institution considerably; good luck in your teaching positions!

RED THE PAROCHIAL TEACHER All the village telephones buzz when a newcomer arrives in town, and could you tap the lines, you would hear an entangle­ ment of diversified flashes of the common folk. All are in­ terested in the new man into whose hands these parents thrust the minds of their little children, and indeed this servant, be it man or lady, does have a mighty, God-given responsibility to give tender care to these little ones, who are bought with a price.

I have such a position, and I am thankful to God for many reasons. My conscience is satisfied threefold, for I am pleasing1 my God, I am pleasing my community, and I am pleasing my­ self. I challenge anyone to show me what is greater in the world than this satisfaction.

It is a fact that not all the Crusaders for this just cause have the most flowery environment; their schools are not airconditioned or equipped with spacious playgrounds. Indeed these are things which every one is bound to fancy, and they are good, but one dare not forget that a beautiful walnut shell often contains rotten meat, or at times it may be completely hollow. Thereby I mean to say, let the good things come first, let the true doctrine be taught. Let the teaching and the learning be conscientious and faithful; then all these things shall be added unto you.

A series of perplexities may arise at intervals. One day you are the best teacher in the world. You go to rest at night with an air of contentment and a pat on the back from a dear wife. The next day in turn may have its untold reverses.

These reverses, when added together at the year’s end, may find you slightly thinner and a little less colorful than you appeared in September. I have often wondered whose fault this is. It is a hard investigation to make, since the cause in­ variably points back to me.

I count myself as an object of fierce struggle, an object of two forces. For if I work for Christ, I have an enemy who fights ten times harder to undo this work. When faith wavers and the work of Christ seems too hard, then indeed the devil claps his hands and rejoices more than over a common victim.

131

RED Watch and Pray is the pass-word that echoes throughout my profession. It is the most beautiful warning to guide us through the days of peril.

I love my work. I love it because God is on my side, though the world is against me. I have and hold the dearest that life itself can offer. Employed by God, the surest, truest, and most honest employer, who pays me, not yearly, not monthly, not semi-monthly, but each hour of the day with blessings of life, a faithful wife, a happy home, and finally on the day of reckoning, the greatest dividend of all, a Crown of Glory.

Jbtinrtal Peace ...

s

IX o’clock P. M.，Tuesday, August 14, 1945 was the moment we all had been awaiting for over three and one-half years.

Japan surrendered. The war was over. It came much sooner than we had dared to hope a couple of months ago. We are indeed thankful to God for bringing the worst of all wars to a successful conclusion. We know that human nature does not change, that wars and rumors of wars will not cease as long as this world endures, but we are thankful that the world is at peace, and we pray that this peace be of long endurance.

At this time of solemn rejoicing our thoughts naturally turn to those of our classmates who left our midst to serve in 133

RED the Armed Forces and especially to those who gave their lives for their country. We pay reverent tribute to Carl F. Masch, Aviation Radio Man, Third Class Pvt. Thomas A. Nickels Pfc. Arthur A. Nordby Sgt. Karl F. Uplegger.

No More Summer School •… the war is over, a few adjustments must be made N OWin ourthatschedule.

The first change regards our fall vaca­ tion, which has been moved forward one week. It will now begin on August 31 and last until September 24. This change has been made for the sake of the preps, who would un­ doubtedly find it very boring to have sumrrer vacation last until the first of October.

And what is more important—there will be no summer school at Northwestern College in 1946. That has been definitely decided. Just exactly how we are going to recall order from chaos no one has been able to determine, but we have some of the best heads in the Synod working on it. Here is the situation: next September (1946) the Senior class will be six months ahead of schedule; the same thing applies to the Juniors; the Sophomores will have put in three extra months; and the fortunate Frosh will be right where they belong. It is quite a problem, but we don’t care. Summer school has been very pleasant, but we certainly are thankful that it won’t be anymore.

Movie Critics ...

OO often we hear people say that a show was good or that it 。was not good. But when we ask these individuals why, they usually don’t have sufficient reasons even to substantiate an argument. Their usual answers are that the shows were interesting.or that they bored them. Such answers seem to be rather naive and very unjustly critical. They are merely 134

?!

::

：•

I

RED assumptions that some shows are good and some not good, that some are interesting and some boring. If good and not good were the results of a Gallup vote on the various shows, they would mean something.

Then there are others who try to be more fair. They say that we students at Northwestern merit and deserve better pic­ tures, that we are almost grown-ups. I agree with such fellows, but they seem never to state what they consider to be good and better pictures. We can’t be too harsh on this group, because they at least are evidencing the fact that a distinguishing mark of a trained thinker is the ability to restrain the tendency to rush to conclusions.

I say that pictures reflect life. They are worth while inso­ far as they reflect life. We are all interested in living realities, and we enjoy skillfully arranged language that makes the characters, ideas, messages, and plots life-like. A good show is not necessarily true, although most of the events of fiction have remarkable parallels in real life. But a good show seems true while vve are seeing it, unless we stop to consider that we are, after all, seeing only a show. The picture industry is a high art when it embodies many of the qualities of life so skill­ fully that even the fantastic seems real.

You certainly are aware of the fact that I have not mentioned reasons supporting movies that are resulting reasons from what a show should do, as I pointed out in the preceding paragraph. When a movie does what I said in the preceding paragraph, it should; then you have the primary, basic reasons as to what constitutes a good show. The many resulting reasons are purely secondary.

I do say, however, that many moving pictures are but dreams offered to those who are too lazy to create their own flights of fancy. It is easy to identify oneself with the hero or heroine and, for a time, literally to lose oneself in fancy. The person who sees show after show may be learning to feed on fancy under the plausible rationalization that he is learning to love good movies. When the shows, resulting in day dreams, are acceptable as a psychological aspirin, then they should be seen less frequently.

—Leland Wurster 135

RED The Pump Is Gone ...

'HE old college pump is gone. It was not vaporized by an atomic bomb. It was not stolen. It was forcibly uprooted, while the heavy-hearted student body stood helplessly by. It was like an old friend being led to the gallows, innocently.

The pump had outlived its usefulness. That no one can deny. No water had flown from its spout for numerous months.

But who would think of gassing his grandmother merely be­ cause she has grown too old to work? Such things are not done by people with civilized emotions.

The erstwhile comforter of thirsty students, the calmer of recalcitrant frosh, a familiar landmark—is gone, and we miss it.

This is an age of efficiency. What is no longer useful is discarded. But who ever goes to the sundial to find out the time of day? Who ever gets any actual benefit from the Sprinter? Why don’t vve get rid of them? Why don’t we chop down the trees, plow up the campus, and plant potatoes in the college park? The vines on the gym have already been removed. That is a good start.

，一

Remember what we said last June?

“You’ll hear from us e’er many a day.”

Well, here we are, and none too soon; Vacation isn’t far away!

We are all momentarily expecting the announcement of Japan’s surrender, and that possibility naturally leads to thoughts concerning next summer. It would be kinda nice to look forward to a summer vacation again; but on second thought, what with this six-week teachers’ course and all, summer school probably wouldn’t be so bad after all, eh fellers? Rumor has it that the girls will be back next year if alotta things don’t happen.

Earlier this summer there were other attractions in town.

Carnivals, circuses, picnics, etc., were following each other in close succession. Money burning holes in people’s pockets hasn’t much chance to smoulder in such surroundings unless a very great amount of will power is used. In a few instances the law stepped in with flashlights, pencils, notebooks, etc., and dug up several facts, such as: some bikes are driven on park paths, some have no licenses, sometimes windows are closed very noisily. After much deliberation, however, the reports were burned because of their triviality.

Some of us are getting back to the farm these days to assist in the great task lying before us, namely, that of harvesting grain. The only drawback is that one doesn’t get back very early for other things. “All work and no play,” y’know, isn’t so good. But the farm is interesting, especially 140

RED to city slickers. One poetically inclined lad was heard mumbling something: “Black Magic!” he cried with a shudder, While visiting old farmer Scudder, For he saw him pretend To stuff hay in one end Of a beast and draw milk from the udder.

—Abgeschmeared.

This same city guy thought that a pile of milk bottles he saw was a cow’s nest.

Helen Brown certainly is popular with the many singers among the dorm residents. It seems she looks good in purple, but when she wears clothes of a darker, dead looking color, well—.

As an illustration of the content of a logical term, the prof, suggested “tree” and asked the class to illustrate the scope.

"Fruit tree’’ was mentioned, but anonymous individuals volunteered other answers: “shoe tree,” “mys-tree,” both “adult-” and “infant-tree.”一On the cob, isn’t it!

According to the latest tutorial edict, everything happening in the dorm after 10:15 p. m. must be strictly hush-hush, Who ccan blame him for demanding- this? The detonation of an atomic bomb could hardly hold a candle to some of the nocturnal eruptions of racket which have, on occasions, shaken the building.

Someone reported seeing an escaped German P. W. on the streets several weeks ago. You guessed it, it was a fake. An official warning resulted in a prompt removal of the letters which, according to the pranksters, meant ''Prisoner of Work.”

“Rusch” says it was fun while it lasted.

NICK NAX Ruprecht, alias "The Sinker”一results of swimming lessons show that he and y. t. would make excellent boat anchors. We could beat a stone to the bottom.— Oswin will never again be so careless when he descends the 141

RED stairs. What he dropped was very embarrasing to clean up, especially in front of Tutor Boots.— Pep Band Concert—"Under the Stars” it was advertised, although it was over at 8:30 when it was still light. (Of course, it was under the stars, but they were not yet visible.) Dommer, the director, received a cob of corn as a token of appreciation for his efforts. The M. C. was roped in and had to execute several numbers on the well-known mouth organ. Since the poor guy is so modest and bashful he won’t even tell anyone how good the solos were and that he had three encores and five curtain calls. He never admits that he’s the best harmonicist in the U. S. Thus far the weather has been quite endurable as far as temperature is concerned. On those few warm days, class­ rooms were made more comfortable with the aid of an electric fan.—Were those by any chance bare feet we saw under several desks in the back of the room? Could be. Let no more be said, eh Boots? **Hey, pass that ‘book’ over here. I’m hungry too!” — — Somebody cut the inside out of a book and fills it with hunger pacifiers which are brought to class under the innocent title “Manners and Sobial Usages.”

Coincidence amazing, It really is the the truth: The fellows in room thirty-one All have a Helen Ruth!

To elucidate: Ruprecht finds companionship with a Helen Ruth from Milwaukee very delightful. (This H. R. is Tuch’s cousin.)

Marv corresponds with another H. R. who allegedly once lived in the house in which Tuch’s father was born. And Eddy, “Der Jaeger,” y’know, visits Helen Ruth at Ixonia as often as possible. This one is a friend of one of Tuch’s relatives. That Albrecht gets in all over, doesn’t he! Why, latest calculations show that he is in some way related to most of us here in the dorm.—By the way, doesn’t this story remind you of Lorrie Schaller，s “Three D，s”？ More about the heat wave. 一 Five perspiring fellows borrowed mattresses from the third floor one night and, with pillows and blankets, lugged them out onto the football field 142

RED and passed the night in blissful repose. Their rising the next morning was, seemingly, closely observed from the pest house.

To remove the veil of mystery covering the several days， silence of the big bell, let it simply be said that for some reason or other che clapper, instead of being in the bell, was found lying on the roof some distance away. _ OBITUARY The ancient source of water for the tables of the refectory； the site of many a mutinous freshman’s soaking; the old familiar campus landmark, the Campus Pump, has finally been unmerci­ fully liquidated. Measurements of the well’s depth were taken; the plumb line hit bottom after it had descended 125 feet.—More info under Editorials.

That’s about the size of it, folks.

II

Another Summer quarter has nearly become history at N. VV. C. It perhaps will have by the time many subscribers get their B. & R. I’ll just give you a bird’s eye view of what took place around here in the line of athletics.

Enthusiasm, as always, ran high at the beginning of the Summer quarter. Everybody was mad about softball. By the time the second round was completed, interest had practically become nil. Almost all were working in the afternoon, which took most of their energy. A crimp was put into the schedule by the heat. Then there was this and that thing doing here and there with certain classes and games were postponed. At least there was good attendance while the thing lasted. Oh, there are still three or four fellows running around begging for more softball, but everybody just ignores them.

There aren’t any averages of individual players available, because an accurate record was not kept of all the games.

Let’s take a look at the individual team anyway.

Seniors: The so called Seniors had about three seniors playing with them. The rest of the team consisted of anything and everything Tucli Albrecht could scrape together five min­ utes before game time. They put up some good fights just the same.

Juniors: They put the best team on the field. Their infield was good but the pitcher took care of most of the credit. Power at the plate helped them out many a time. They’re good all right, but don’t tell them about it.

Sophomores: This team was made up of a pitcher with nothing to support him. Once in a great while they would muster up enough energy to put up a fight. They were some­ thing like the Seniors when the Seniors all played.

144

9RED Freshmen: They put out two teams and two fair teams at that. This was due to the large contingent arriving from D. M. L. C. The pitching and fielding were nothing to sneer at.

Even the Juniors took a bow. Not bad for beginners； A baseball team was mustered up to give the Hiawathas, a city team entered in the Central league, some practice. Two games were played but neither one was up to par. N. W. C. didn’t have anything to offer, for the simple reason that all of its best material is playing with the Iiiawathas. Those now playing with the Hiawathas are Kaesmeyer, Huebner, Wood, Zarling, Wietzke, Ziesemer, Meyer, Malchow and Moldstad.

On Wednesday July 18th the Seminary came down to Watertown with ten men to challenge our softball All-Stars. In order to avoid all griping two teams were formed. The Sem definitely had the edge. Our teams were quite evenly matched because both the afternoon and evening game ended with a score of 5-3 in favor of the Sem. For the third game of the day the Junior class team took on the Sem. The Sem came out on top once more, this time 7-1.

MAGIC IN MOONLIGHT?

PHOOEY!

by BUD LAU

Magic in moonlight? ’Specially on June night?

Whoever invented that phrase?

It’s ne’er worked for me!

It’s foolish, you see, A thougt so deluding to praise.

Magic in moonlight? Once did I invite A maiden to look at the moon, And if I had waited For magic o’er-rated, I could have stayed there till noon.

Magic in moonlight? ’Specially on June night?

I simply cannot agree.

For I find, without doubt, When the full moon is out, The person affected is me!

147 :

RED SADIE SAD SAC Sadie the cow looked mournfully over the old rail fence.

Abraham Lincoln had split those rails, but Sadie didn’t care.

Abraham Lincoln was no better in her eyes than Benedict Arnold, and besides she had never heard of Abraham Lincoln.

She had something more important to think about anyhow.

The grass was greener on the other side, and she wanted to get over there, but she was fenced in and consequently fenced out.

How to get there. If only she could fly. That was it. Why not take flying lessons? They only cost about ten bucks an hour, and Sadie had plenty of time. She could easily make the money by giving more milk or by giving pure cream for a while if necessary. But that would be too much like work. Maybe she could get a part-time job as an oboe player in the college band. They needed one badly. But that was silly. Who ever heard of a cow playing an oboe? Especially a red cow. Besides, she didn’t have an oboe, and they cost lots of lettuce. And she couldn’t play one if she had one. She didn’t know a sharp from a flat or a flat from a flute . . . or a flute from an oboe, for that matter. And the college band doesn’t pay its members any­ how. So she wouldn’t be able to take flying lessons. That was absolutely out of the question.

She was dejected. What could an old cow do anyhow?

Poor things! They lead a terrible life. A dog’s life. No, even worse. A dog could jump over an old rail fence. Or crawl under it.

Sadie was ruminating suicide. What did she have to live for? But she didn’t have a revolver or a gas chamber or an electric chair or a long enough and strong enough rope or even an overdose of sleeping pills, and starving to death wouldn’t be any fun.

Maybe lightning would strike the fence and make her an adequate aperture. That could happen—to other cows, but Sadie never had any luck. She would probably be beefsteak and hamburger and head cheese by tomorrow, or glue — with­ out her Henkersmahl. It sure was a hard life. A mighty hard life. She could see her carcass hanging in Cudahy in her mind’s eye. Stiff as a board. The thought didn’t especially 148

•i

RED appeal to her. Her morale sank another decimeter into the quicksands of despair, so to speak. With all the nice red hair scraped off. And her entrails in hamburger or incinerator.

Alas! And her hoofs in Jello. And her obituary in the B& R! It was too much for her feeble intellect to bear. She had to do something about it. Pronto. Would that I had never been born, she thought to herself. Morpheus is my only hope for temporary freedom from fear. So she sat down to take a nap.

Right on a cactus — with a bee in the bloom. A big, tough, ornery, anti-social bumblebee. The first thing she knew, she was on the other side of the fence, looking lugubriously at the nice green grass on the other side.

NIAGARA FALLS

by FREDERIC KOSANKE

“Where are you going? How long will you be there?

Where were you born? Do you have anything to declare?

Ummhm, come inside, please.”

We felt a little guilty as we followed the trooper into the customs office. Another busy official gave us a blank to fill out.

1940 Pontiac Coupe, Serial Number 197731; one camera. ' 'Thank you, that’s all. Keep this duplicate with you.”

It had been easy, anyway. Maybe we should have tried to smuggle something in. What is the best contraband article to smuggle into Canada currently?

There are two facts I soon discovered about Canada: the people speak English, or something that sounds like English; and Canadian drug stores have no more film on hand than do American—I mean United States drug stores.

We had crossed on the Peace Bridge, so we had half an hour’s drive along Niagara River before we would reach the Falls. Strewn along the way were plaques telling of deeds done way back in some history book or other. Frequent scenic parking places were located along the road: every convenience is given honeymooning couples.

Years ago a barge broke loose from its mooring and drifted toward the Falls, only to lodge on rocks in midstream above the Falls. “It might break loose any time，” they say, so 149

RED everyone hopes that he will be on the spot to see it roar over the brink. But for us, too, it remained stuck there against the rocks.

From a distance we might have thought we were nearing a geyser, so high did the falling water send up spray. The roar grew louder and a rain of spray showered down. There it was!

Over cliffs shaped like a Paul Bunyan horseshoe poured tons of water. One hundred and sixty feet below, at the foot of the Falls, the Maid of the Mist tooted along with a boatful of tourists. From the Canadian shore the two Falls seem to be on different rivers, as quite a bit of land lies between them. But the land is really an island which extends to the cliffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s edge, Goat Island. The two Falls are of the same height but different shape. The American Falls are straight across the stream, while the Canadian Falls are concave and thus have about three times the length, although the distances from shore to shore are about the same.

Near the beautiful new Rainbow Bridge on the Canadian side is an intricate formal garden with grass, hedges and trees trimmed just so. Hidden away in a corner is a small pond with stone bridges, trees and shrubbery, giving a rustic atmosphere.

Two swans float on the water like nymphs.

We had already seen so much beauty on the Canadian side that we thought we had seen everything. But the most thrilling view of all is on the American side. Goat Island is as natural as the Canadian park is formal. Trails thru the woods follow the rushing Rapids and lead to the Falls. Here American ingenuity has constructed concrete platforms that extend as near as possible to the edge, and even over to a rock ledge in mid-stream on the edge of the American Falls. There you have a sight!

Mighty, blue water rolling endlessly down, down Flowing columns of white Fading mist Foam waves drifting away to sea.........

Add a full colored rainbow in that mist and the magnificent Rainbow Bridge in the background; what more beautiful place is there to spend a honeymoon?

RED ALONE One fleeting moment—that’s all I had, One instant of knowing that you were mine.

Now it is past, and I’m alone— Forsaken, lonely, and alone.

Where are my hopes that once were all?

Where are my dreams? All gone away?

Return to me, come once again; Do not leave me here-alone.

I hoped and prayed, in vain, it seems, That I could hold you in my arms And keep you there for aye and aye, And yet I still am here—alone.

My hopes are gone; gone are my dreams.

My heart—in ashes cold it lies.

What have I done? Have I deserved To spend my years of life alone?

It’s all my fault; I have no cause To cast my heart’s pain at your feet.

You gave no promise; how dared I hope That you would love just me alone?

Three years I’d waited, long enough To know that what I’d waited for.

Could not be mine forevermore, And that I’d live on—all alone.

It came and went, that happiness, That moment that I’d waited for.

I held you then, and you were mine; The world was made for us alone.

I had my moment. All too quick Was time to come and take you from My clinging lips and close embrace And let me wander on—alone.

One fleeting moment—that’s all I had, One instant of knowing that you were mine.

Now it is past, and I’m alone, Forsaken, lonely, and alone.

RED WHAT IS TRUTH? htj L.

Yes, this is the sixty-four dollar question. For ages, the sages, philosophers, and all learned men, in general, have asked themselves, “What is truth?” You and I ask the same question today. Coleridge once said, "Whispering tongues can poison truth.” Shakespeare said, "If this will not suffice, it must appear that malice bears down truth.” John 1, 17 says, “Grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.’’ Then there also is Bryant’s expression, "Truth crushed to earth shall rise again.”

Needless to say, volumes have been written on this subject.

Still many of these writers were in doubt as to whether they were right after they had written their doctrines of truth.

Pontius Pilate also asked, “What is truth?” Thus we see that this question is as old as the hills, beginning practically at the beginning of time. The fact that the question has existed so long declares its own importance and worth.

Since no human being, by his own power, has been able to offer a satisfactory answer to the question, you may wonder why I have chosen it as my subject for this issue of the Black and Red. It is because the truth is so abused today, taken so lightly, that I am directing my thoughts toward it.

In order to understand this doctrine of truth, I have tried to arouse the reader’s curiosity by putting the title of my article in question form. What does the word truth mean?

What do we mean by saying that a proposition is true or false?

The statement that the shores of New England are bathed by the waters of the Pacific Ocean is said to be false. Why? That they are bathed by the waters of the Atlantic is true. Why? In order to answer the above question, one must learn the etymology of the word and then proceed to discuss the three theories of truth.

Truth comes from the Anglo-Saxon treoivth, a quality or state of being true or faithful, hence: fidelity, constancy, faithfulness and loyalty. These meanings declare what Coleridge was thinking when he said that whispering tongues can poison truth.

Closely associated with truth is trust, which is derived from the Middle English trust, meaning protection, firmness; 152

RED and the German Trost, meaning consolation; and the Gothic word, timisti, meaning a covenant The word grew and changed as people do. A second meaning of truth is veracity, sincerity in character, action, and speech, genuineness in expressing feel in? or belief. Along with this definition we may well associate Shakespeare’s asser­ tion that “If this will not suffice, it must appear that malice bear down truth.”

Drifting over to religion, we get another meaning—true religion, orthodoxy, spiritual reality. We must ponder ‘‘Grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.” (John 1, 17.) Bryant thought that truth should be conformed with higher, more advanced, or ideal standards. That is no doubt why he said, *'Truth crushed to earth shall rise again.”

Now we can briefly enumerate the four kinds of truth.

1. Existential: the exact conformity between the judgment and externally existent things in their actual status and relations.

2. Formal: truth that certain premises give a certain conclusion.

3. Normative: truth about values.

4. Metaphysical: truth of fundamental reality, con­ ceived as being partly or wholly transcendent of perceived act­ uality and experience.

To gain a still better understanding of truth, it is necessary to delve into three theories of it. The correspondence theory would say: Truth is that which conforms to fact, which agrees with reality, which corresponds to the actual situation.

It is the view of the so-called plain man, who distinguishes the statement of the fact, and when the statement corresponds with the fact, then it is true. The reason, then, that the shores of New England are bathed by the Atlantic, is that this state­ ment corresponds with the facts. Before anyone made this judgment, the waters of the Atlantic did actually bathe the shores of New England. Employing another example, you have no right to suspect anyone of being untrue to you, until the incident arises, which designates an untrue action on the part of this individual.

153

RED The coherence theory demands that the parts of truth be coherent with one another and with experience. For example, a mother tells Johnny not to go 'swimming, and he goes any­ way. On returning she asks him whether he went. He says no, and she still distrusts him. Then he calls in his friends, who buttress his story by saying they were elsewhere. As far as his mother is now concerned, she thinks he has told the truth, because his lie seems to his mother to be a coherent and consistent system. Such lies we find told quite frequently. The trusting fellow is deceived. But supplement the correspondence theory with the coherence theory; we conclude that truth is fidelity to reality. Another lady may have been at the swim­ ming pool, where she saw Johnny. Her seeing him at the pool corresponds with the mother’s assertion that he had gone, and now we have consistency, which points out that the boy’s story was a lie.

The third theory, the pragmatic, wants its essence to be a successful prediction. The Pragmatist, James, says, 'True ideas are those that we can assimilate, validate, corroborate and verify. False ideas are those that we cannot. The truth of an idea is not a stagnant property inherent in it. Truth happens to be an idea. It becomes true, is made true by events. Its verity is in fact an event, a process; the promise namely of its verifying itself, its verification. Its validity is the process of its validation.” This is quite different from the generally accepted meaning of truth. It is really the truth of an idea and interprets truth as something good, rather than something that can be believed.

Perhaps these theories have not helped to clarify truth, but if one is sometimes confused by truth, he can derive consolation from the fact that he is not the only confused person.

Getting back to the root meaning of the word and my interpretation of it, it is usually something good, for “All things work together for good to them that love God.’’ If it be pleasant or unpleasant, it then must necessarily happen for our own good. It is then as the Gothic trauste means, a covenant, be it with friend or foe. It cannot harm us. As the German says, it is a consolation, a consolation because God engineered it. From the Middle English we learn that it is a firmness, a 154、

RED protection, because God stands behind it. It is this, because it is God, from the beginning, before the foundations of the earth were laid. The lie came after it, and only the lie can harm us, because the devil manipulates this destructive apparatus.

Because the truth is something noble, something stable, something beneficial, we like it and say that a true friend, whom one can trust implicitly, is about the best thing in the world. Such is the kind of truth that we need, that we feel, that we know is sincere; that is truth in its entireness. Perhaps thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why Tennyson said, "To feel the truth and stir of day.â&#x20AC;?

Memorial Number in November •• • to our plans, this issue of The Black and Red A CCORDING was to have been a memorial to those who left our midst and entered the Armed Forces of our country. An attempt was made to secure certain information about everyone concerned, but this was impossible before the deadline for this month.

Some addresses were incorrect, and some names were uninten­ tionally omitted from our list.

If you are a serviceman and former student of North­ western College and have not been contacted, pr if you are a member of such a serviceman^ family and know that we have no information on his service in the Armed Forces, please write to us as soon as possible. If you have already written to us but have additional information (return from overseas, discharge, plans for the future, etc.), please let us know about it. Thank you for your cooperation.

Our Schools ... j SIR, am a student of theology. My interest lies in our V church. That which I should like to discuss here, however, is something which many people consider something outside of the church proper. I disagree heartily.

I should like to state here my views on the attitudes and results of such attitudes held over and against OUR schools.

I have often thought about our schools, but until recently I have never had the opportunity to become truly acquainted with our teachers and their school systems.

157

RED First of all I should like to refute the idea that our schools are something outside of the church, also the idea that our schools are not up to our modern day standards.

Many of our people have the idea that the church school is far below the standards set up by our states and that it is something unnecessary, only adding work and burden to the church. To those who hold this view I say, you have never seen or become acquainted with our schools. Before you let such ideas take effect on you, go to one of our schools, visit it, talk with the teacher and go over their schedule. Then compare their standards with those of the public schools. I’m sure that you will find our average students right up near the head of the public classes in almost every case.

Why is this? The answer is a simple one. Look at our teachers. Our teachers are not in that profession because of monetary reasons or because they feel that it is an easy “job” (which we often find is true of those in outside schools). Our teachers are there because they have within them the love of God and the desire to work in His kingdom. In truth, their work is a royal work. They are Christians and have the true sense of the responsibility of their positions — building for this life strong and well-founded churchmen of the future, for the after-life, the legion of saints.

Our teachers have a personal interest in each child intrusted to their care. A child to them is not just an animate object.

In Christian fellowship they are their children, children of God under their care and direction. They are greatly responsible for each individual’s soul.

As a potter, the teacher takes this soft, pliable clay, often filled with sharp, cutting glass, which cuts the hands of its shaper, and molds, remolds, and if need be, remolds once again.

No clay is too coarse, too rough, but that he will try to mold and remold. His product? Implements for the work of the church! His sacrifice of time, energy, and monetary returns is known to few. Yet he seldom complains—he is a servant of our Lord and Master.

When we look at a beautiful piece of pottery, do we not admire deeply the form, the design, the color? What about the 158

RED potter? How often do we think of his labor? Yet if it were not for him, where would the pot be? Let us keep this in mind.

His joy and satisfaction lie in seeing his bits of clay turn, perhaps slowly at first, into the useful implements of the church.

Whether these become ministers, teachers, or well-founded lay­ men, the church is in need of all. Indeed, his joy lies in the fact that he is helping to build tomorrow’s church. We have always held that our church stands firmly on the foundation of God’s Word. If we are to keep it as such, we must have greater interest in our schools, our children, and our teachers.

I say this to all, pastors and laymen. How is your con­ gregation taking care of the future church? Are we aiding the continuance of a strong, well-founded church, or are we letting it decay and rot into corruption?

You pastors, how is your school interest? Is not a church without a school a decaying church? A school takes work, money, and prayer. Can you gain anything without these?

You parents, where are your children? You, too, are missionaries. Why not start at home!

The choice is ours.- A few dollars, a few hours of work, and the gaining of a soul; or the ^ain of a few dollars and the loss of a soul—perhaps that of your own child.

—Radtke

RED Peace? •… the end of the war the world was electrified at the B EFORE announcement that there really is such a destructive force as the terrifically powerful atomic bomb. Now more detailed reports of its effects on the two targets in Japan on which it was dropped are gradually being published. Photographs of the former cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki indicate that these reports were not exaggerated.

This bomb allegedly forced the Japanese to surrender, and thus peace, outward peace at least, was restored to our planet.

But aside from the fact that the sounds of warfare have ceased and that men are no longer being killed in open battle and in air raids, can we truthfully say that this world is at peace?

Certainly no one is foolish enough to believe that. A very strong proof of the fact that unrest and chaos are、still very rampant can be found right in this country. Strikes, shut­ downs, work-stoppages, battles between pickets and police, acts of willful and malicious destruction of property—all this certainly is not an indication that real peace again reigns supreme.

Just a glance at any newspaper will show us that the inter­ national situation too is far from being settled peacefully.

Even now rumors of a third-world war are being spread, and these rumors are not all without foundation. Perhaps Russia will light the fuse to set off the next world conflict; perhaps it will be England or some other country; who knows? This is not a permanent peace, that we know, since the Bible itself tells us that there will always be wars and rumors of war, especially in the latter days.'

And when the next war does come, how much more terrible and destructive it will be! An eminent scientist tells us that to keep the atomic bomb a secret is an impossibility.

He also said that if science continues to progress as rapidly as it has, it is not at all unlikely that in a few years by the mere pressing of a button in Russia, every living being in the United States could be destroyed.

Therefore thoughts of the future must sober us consid­ erably. Is it fantastic to suggest that perhaps God! will use these same destructive forces which He is permitting man to 160

RED unleash to carry out His own will? Could He not allow man to destroy the world and then sound the trumpet for the Judg­ ment? All signs indicate that the last day is not very remote; Scripture verifies that.

We as students of the Gospel should for this reason be all the more zealous in our work and should be eager to go out into the world as pastors and missionaries to help enlighten the many who are still in spiritual darkness. We cannot bring them worldly peace, it is true, but what is much more im­ portant, we can bring them the Peace of God, that Peace which passes all understanding, spiritual peace which faith in Christ the Saviour will bring them. The time is short, the task is immense, but what a blessed task it is! Let us all work hard in these times, that we will be able to assist in this work to the best of our ability.

RED Still Beefing ...

HIS is a complaint. When the thought to write it first came into my mind, I was sore, but plenty! Not only was I sore, but I was also disgusted, not only with the inefficiency of the Athletics reporter but also with the editor, who allows false statements to go through his hands without revision.* Maybe by now you’re wondering just what this is all about. Well, it’s this: In the Athletics column of the August issue of The Black and Red appeared the following paragraph describing the Sophomore class softball team: ‘‘This team was made up of a pitcher with nothing to support him. Once in a while they would muster up enough energy to put up a fight. They were something like the Seniors when the Seniors all played.”

As a Sophomore and member of the team I feel the insult keenly. Certainly we have a good pitcher, but although it may not have looked that way, we did our best to support him. We always put up a fight. In fact we won all but two of the games we played. In the third place, we couldn’t have been as bad as the Seniors, since they were simply “out of this world.”

I strongly suspect the Athletics reporter, since he is a Senior, of having a biased opinion. That is only natural. But I think that a column of that type should print the tt'uth. If the reporter has his opinion, he can keep it to himself, or if he must print it, he should state that it is his own opinion, for no one pays any attention to that anyway, since it is a well-known fact that the reporter didn’t show up for any of the games, even when his own class played!

I’m not sore any more, but I should at any rate like to advise that something be done about the Athletics column and the truth of the material printed therein.

RED Archery Rejuvenation?...

HIS article will not be a long dissertation on Toxophilus.

Rather it will primarily inform the students as to what we are endeavoring to achieve in the line of archery, and conse­ quently we hope it will be encouraging to the readers.

In introducing you to archery, let me say that it is about the oldest of sports. Practically everyone has heard about the Turkish bowmen, Robin Hood, and the Swiss patriot, William Tell,, who shot an apple off his son’s head. Those were the days when the bow was used as a defensive weapon to ward off the enemy, and to replenish the larder. Today archery is a healthful, romantic, sportive exercise. To hear the flight of a well sped arrow and its bing on the target arouses in us the same emotions that it must have aroused in the ancients.

Doctors will tell you that it is the only sport which strengthens your shoulder and back muscles. Individuals have been known to have increased their lung capacities by twenty-five cubic inches in one season of consistent shooting. At many schools archery is taught as a corrective, but that strangles it of its fun. Its therapeutic value though, plus the fun derived in shooting, should make it encouraging.

Not only does it improve the posture, but it also furthers coordination of the muscles, something so greatly desired in the other sports, but seldom acquired. Aren’t you football players envious?

Most of you have seen movie shorts picturing girl archers at different colleges. They appeared to be very skilled, didn’t they? It made you think that they were accomplishing a feat, didn’t it? Wouldn’t you like to accomplish this same feat?

Then, too, when boys and girls shoot together it is much more fun. Archery here at. Northwestern can be for the girls as well as for the boys.

You fellows may feel that you wouldn’t want a girl who is an archer, because she would have very masculine arms and shoulders. Well? Don’t let that bother you.

Besides shooting at targets or in tournaments, endless hours of carefree, invigorating enjoyment can be derived from archery in wandering through the woods and fields shooting at 163

RED natural targets as they are encountered. This roving is truly more fan than just hiking and pulling the long bow.

On Tuesday evening, October the ninth, Y. T. called a meeting of all those having equipment and otherwise interested in archery. At present we have sixteen fellows who have equipment and are already practicing. Let us hope we can stretch the number to twenty.

Coach Umnus is also enthusiastic about our endeavor. He would like to see some avid practicing and then arrange a college shooting' meet here at school. Perhaps encouraging awards will be offered. So, come, fellows, let’s get going. If we get good enough, it’s possible that a team can be organized to compete with other schools. You under-classmen and preps, there’s a lot of fun awaiting you in the future. Give archery the stuff and you’ll pet more out of it than you put in it.

As a few final words of encouragement, I would like to say that I will gladly impart my meager knowledge of archery to you. But I have forgotten one thing, it’s even possible to shoot bears, rabbits, squirrels, and the innocent deer with the bow and arrow. Deor hunting has always been popular.

Leland Wurster Thoughts on "Thoughts in the Concert Hall，，w ...

IN THE June issue of The Black and Red there appeared an ■ editorial by Frederick Kempfert entitled Thoughts in the Concert Hall. It ended with the question, “What do you think?” Do you agree with me, he wants to know. If I did, I would not have written this.

Our difference of opinion is due largely to different concep­ tions of what an artist really is. Mr. Kempfert thinks of an artist as one who is skilled, in this case, in music, one who makes his living by singing and sings to make a living, not merely because he enjoys singing. Consequently he should make his concerts up of music the ordinary people want to hear, music they can understand and will pay to listen to. If they want to sing foreign songs, the least they can do is to sing them in translation, he says.

•Scheduled for August but too late for that deadline. Ed,

164

RED My conception of an artist is far different. An artist, be he painter, poet, sculptor, or musician, is a true artist only if he lives and moves and thinks in terms of his art, even at a financial sacrifice. He chooses the music which he believes is the finest there is. He does not play down to his audience. That, he feels, would be debasing his art. He would rather perform to a small, intelligent, appreciative audience than draw large crowds by selecting what he considers inferior music, even as a minister would rather have his church half full of people who have come to hear the Word preached than overflowing with people who have come to hear a “cute” soprano sing Beautiful Isle of Somewhere.

“Permit the artist to show his personality ...” ^Alloiv him also to sing that difficult aria ...” “Let the singer choose foreign tunes ...” Is a real artist a common workman, who gets his orders from his employer, who dare not make a move without the permission of the fellow who pays him? Certainly no one would endorse such a radical view.

Now let us take up the question of translations. Sing most songs in the original, I say. Half the worth of good poetry lies in the sonorous beauty of the words. It is very difficult to capture in translation both the beauty of sound and the delicate shadings of thought of the original. Either the translation of thoughts is good and the poetry poor or vice versa. There are exceptions, but they are so rare that they hardly need be reckoned with. A simple but un-misunderstandable example is the English translatisn of Fuchs，du hast die Ganz gestohlen， which begins, Fox, you stole my goosey-gander. This one is ludicrous; those in a more serious vein are often disgusting.

As a solution to this problem I suggest that a translation (thought translation) be printed next to the words of the original on the program. It has been done before and has worked out satisfactorily.

It’s too bad that all artists aren’t millionaires’ kids, who don’t give a hoot about what the rest of the world thinks but *. play or sing or paint or chisel exactly as their artistic temper­ ament moves them. 一Tuch

Encore, Please ... might well have been resounding after the conclusion of Mrs. Waddington’s last number of her recital in the gym here on Thursday evening. But a too much reserved and consistently small audience allowed our vivacious performer an early retire­ ment from the stage. Some of us had heard of a marimba; few of us realized how it would sound in the hands of an artist. We went. The curtains parted, our guest artist and her accompanist stepped on the stage. Before we knew it, we were hearing Brahms’ 5th Hungarian Dance in an arrangement we never knew of. That an enjoyable evening was in store for us was instantly sensed. Mrs. Waddington’s pleasing-plus personality and attitude won every heart. She conveyed her spirit and emotions through her playing, with the skill of a finished artist.

Apparently most of us approved of her choice of numbers.

Some of the old favorites like Drink to Me Only With Thine Eyes or Jeanie With the Light Brown Hair evoked a chorus of oh’s and ah’s. It was completely justified, for Mrs. Waddington struck harmonies hardly imaginable to have come from her instrument. We do however question her authority in grouping Nevin’s “Rosary” and the “Ave Maria” with Gershwin.

Neither did we care to hear the beautiful “Wiegenlied” of Brahms in the style she chose to play. At times obvious glances from performer to accompanist were noticed. Could it be that the two artistic minds were at variance on certain points concerning- tempo? The difference between the two personalities might compensate for this. For variety Mrs. Shekner gave forth with some Chopin, among other numbers, 166

RED nicely done. Everyone enjoyed the weak Shostakovich "Polka” (also Phil’s appearance and disappearance). We heard the marimba again. A fantasie on Liszt’s 2nd Hungarian Rhapsody concluded Mrs. Waddington’s recital. Once again the crowd squeezed out of the adequate gym doors. This time melodious strains of music were still lingering in our memories as we breathed the cool air of a beautiful autumn night.

In addition to placements printed in previous issues, we have: Mark Albrecht, J45, to Doctor Martin Luther College, New Ulm; Winfred Nommensen, ’45，to Michig an Lutheran Seminary; Gideon Becker, Robert Hochmuth, a nd Milton Burk, all of ’45，to Lutheran High School, Milwaukee; “Eggs” Albrecht, *43, to Winnebago Lutheran Academy, Fond du Lac; William “Bishop” Lange, ’45，to the Baraboo Parochial School, where he officiates as principal during a leave of absence granted to his predecessor. We hope these fellows cherish their experiences.

In addition to the above, two other alumni who have joined the teaching staff at Lutheran High, Milwaukee, are Donald Blakewell，ex ’46, and Luther Kolander, *45.

Rev. Robert Reim, ’38，whose pastorate has been at Sturgis, South Dakota, accepted a call to Redeemer Church, Fond du Lac. Redeemer Church was formerly served by Prof.

VValdemar Pless.

Rev. Harold A. Hempel, class of ’39, has the distinction of being the first resident pastor of Peace Evangelical Lutheran Church at Clark, South Dakota, where he was installed on September 2.

On October 2 a daughter was born to Rev. and Mrs. Harold Sauer, ’40, at Mound City, South Dakota. The little one weighed 6 lb. 11 oz. at birth.

A daughter. Dawn Jeanne, was born to Rev. and Mrs. Frederick Naumann, Nelson, Wisconsin, on October 8. Mrs. Naumann is the former Dorothy Henning, ex ’40.

More news from South Dakota! It was flashed from Clear Lake that on September 9 a son was dispatched to Rev. Dietrich Kuehl,，40.

Frederic Nitz, ’44, returned to the seminary this fall after a year out, during which he had been teaching.

RED It，s a great sport, especially when one can use it (imi­ tating Cupid) to go deer hunting (or dear hunting, as has been done). Some of the archers really did go hunting, though, but at time of writing no one has brought home the bacon. Marv Radtke has been making scores of hunting arrows, so they must expect to get something.

It seems the whole thing started in Fond du Lac this summer. Through some strange quirk of fate Le Wurster got the bug up there, and now his enthusiasm has interested quite a few others.

Lay that ice pick down, Ed; the army won’t need you now.* Not having heard otherwise, we surmise that the *'SixWeek Wonders” are doing 0. K. In their absence, some of them have received queer, almost fantastic nicknames, such as: “Supine,” “Gerundive,” "Happy Bottom,” “Merrily;’’ yes, they are odd, aren’t they?

The new Kollege Kanteen had its grand opening the other day. Having been completely remodeled, it is now an attractive place of business, proudly displaying the largest bar in the synod. (I. e. to our knowledge —if we receive proof that this is not the case, we will gladly recant that statement and offer apologies.)

What with over two hundred students staying in the dorm this term, things are naturally quite crowded, and some of the new sextaners (there are about seventy in that class, by the way) are having a rather hard time getting acquainted with dormitory rules and regulations. One little fellow, f’rinstance, came into the office one afternoon and asked for a pass to go out that night. Of course he and others were simply victims of practical jokers, and most of them soon got wise.

When you read this, the green caps will have disappeared, and frosh will again be bareheaded or wearing- civilian headgear. They didn，t have a very tough time of it at all; the sophs took it easy. Kaiser had to scrub the steps of the recitation building with a toothbrush, and several other frosh were in­ vited to the soph class meetings in the club room, but otherwise buttoning proceeded as usual.

RED WORTHLESSNESSITIES Skeleton dragged out of a 1915 B. & R. closet: Hoo: Money has wings, and student life makes it fly.

Noo: Some houses have wings too, because I’ve seen many a house fly.

Hoo: 0, I thought nothing on a house except a chimney flue.— And here’s what the Jokes editor in 1900 was printing: •‘Darling’’ gently lisped the maiden — Red as roses grew her face— *‘lf you never loved another, How then learned you to embrace?’’

Joyously he pressed her closer, Whisp’ring in her ear with haste, 4 'Football trainer back at college Makes us tackle 7round the waist.”

Very conspicuous because of its absence is a certain bright blue automobile, whose fame was noised abroad for the last few months in more ways than one. After considerable inquiry it was found that its former owner had sold it in South Dakota (where something like that is probably taken for granted).

The poor guy’s pining for it though — he walks around with a dreamy look on his face and wears bright blue laces in his brown shoes. "Parting is such sweet sorrow.”

To take the place of this retired blue campus queen is another, more illustrious vehicle. We are proud to present “Dead Ernest,” a black Ford V-8 coach. The owner of this campus king: R. Domschowski, or B. V. D. for short. The tires are bald, but the rest of the car is still in its prime, although Do. would like to see it re-tired.

We, the collegiates, would like to know what we’re at.

Will we have to be up here next summer again or not? Maybe we’ll find out before long.

Prof. Pless, our new inspector, took over his duties at the beginning of this term and found the dormitory more crowded than it has been for a great many years. His responsibility is great and his work is not easy, but he is doing a fine job. We all welcome him and ask God to bless him in his work here.

Auf Wiedersehen!

TICS FOR AULD LANG SYNE 40 years ago: Because Northwestern hadn’t mastered the forward pass rules, they lost to an inferior Ripon eleven 6 to 0.

30 years ago: The Northwestern football squad went to Beloit to play a game which ended 0 to 0. Four more games were scheduled.

20 years ago: It seems Northwestern still hadn’t mastered the forward pass. Ripon won 27 to 0. Beloit walked all over us 40 to 0.

10 years ago: The Northwestern eleven had chalked up three victories and a tie score, with Pagels doing all the hard work. "Pagels through the center of the line for a touchdown’’ was great stuff in those days.

5 years ago: ‘‘Possessing the team which during their college days had won two conference championships，’’ the Sem came to Watertown to suffer a 9 to 6 defeat.

1 year ago: No football. Loren Schaller won the Watertown Open Men’s Singles in tennis.

RED This year: Football is back. School spirit is plenty high too. Because of this the boys, "green but willing,” are going places. There isn’t a single man that has ever played collegiate football be­ fore, but they are playing like veterans. Anybody who saw them play Oshkosh will tell you so.

Northwestern 27 Oshkosh 0 Everyone thought that Northwestern would take a beatinpr on October 9. (Saturday—house-cleaning time, you know.)* Oshkosh looked plenty husky as they pranced out on the field.

Northwestern, defending the northgoal, kicked off to Oshkosh.

Oshkosh after three attempts at running kicked back at North­ western. On the second play Uetzmann went over for the first six points. He failed (you're all wet—he’s a frosh this year.) at the extra point. Not much later Wietzke went over for the second touchdown. The kick for the extra point was good.

Coach now put in the second and the third string for the remainder of the half. The first play the second string ran, (did you ever see a string： run?) Mattek went over the goal line, but the play was called back to the fifteen-yard line be­ cause somebody was clipping. (Teh, tch.) Mattek’s running throughout the game was exceptionally pood. The remainder of the first half the ball just kept exchanging hands in midfield.

(The ref did most of the ball carrying.)

At a time-out the Oshkosh team just plopped all over the field. Their manager on the sidelines was the only one showing a little fight. (I thought this was about football.) ‘‘Hap’’ Hollander got booted for some reason or other.

The second half started off with another thriller, when Hackbarth scampered around end for an eighty-yard dash to the goal. That was the first play of the second half. Uetzmann’s kick was good. (Still can’t figure out what he was kicking about.)

Wietzke displayed some shifty running the third quarter.

Later Wietzke passed to Hackbarth on the Oshkosh forty for another touchdown. Uetzmann again converted.

The second string again took over and all but repeated the second quarter. Oshkosh did push (yeah —they got fifteen yards for it too.) down to the one-yard line but failed to put it over.

•Please overlook all parenthetic comments. I used Radtko's typewriter and it did mo some awful dirt. Moral of the story is ... . don’t use someone elsc’s typewriter.( Aw balooooooney!

RED DR. JOHN HENRY OTT 1861-1945 ,Colleges are known for their love of tradition. Tradition is the linking factor that unites the work of the past with the activities of the present and creates the character of an institu­ tion. Ordinarily, we would depend on father-to-son accounts and written history for a glimpse into the past. We, however, have been exceedingly fortunate in this respect, for until October 30, we had in our midst a living chronicle in the person of Doctor Ott. It was my good fortune to、be intimately associated with this man for more than five years in connection with his library work and private life. During that short period we shared many an hour together — in the library, or at home over a cup of tea. During these periods the Doctor’s inexhaustible memory would produce countless little sketches out of the past, some­ times concerning his personal history, but more frequently the life of Northwestern, if the two can be separated.

At times he would speak of the charms of his birth-place, the Swiss settlement of Tell City, Indiana, where he spent his childhood and lost his first position as a pharmacist’s helper because he had sold someone a portion of belladonna when the druggist was out of the shop.

At another time he would review his travels as a printer in Louisville, or St. Louis, or Leadville, Colorado. Although this life appealed to his sense of adventure, it did not satisfy the inclination to scholarship that was to characterize his entire life, and he was glad to follow a suggestion to abandon the printing trade and take a liberal arts course at Northwestern.

These casual chats never served to form a continuity, but they did emphasize the highlights of the Doctor’s career enough to paint a general picture. As a student, he labored hard to bridge the gaps in his primary education, doing make­ up work under tutors and himself tutoring others. That his labor was successful is indicated by the fact that he was called to teach in the year that he graduated, 1885. After five years of teaching he was given a two-year leave of absence in order to pursue his linguistic studies at Berlin. Before he came back, 196

197

RED he was granted the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, magna cum laude, by the University of Halle.

With his new title and a renewed vigor the Doctor returned to his work in Watertown, to labor for fifty-two more years at the work of teaching science and English and in general to help develop a new English system.

One of his most important functions was that of librarian.

When he took charge, there were fewer than a thousand books on the shelves. These were then catalogued according to the Halle system, and the nucleus of a library was there. This nucleus, however, disappeared almost entirely in the fire of 1894. On this occasion, the Doctor had just returned from his wedding trip when the fire started, and he was there to see his work go up in smoke. Our present library, then, is almost completely the result of his labors and certainly a fitting monument to his memory.

Those men who studied with and under Doctor Ott remem­ ber him not only as a talented linguist and librarian. Many of the beautiful trees on our campus today are a result of his interest in gardening. As an athletic instructor he trained many in the gymnastic art of “turning” and “tumbling.” One of his greatest joys was the pleasure of teaching students to swim. At the age of eighty years he was still frequently to be found swimming in the Rock River, eye-glasses and all. In fact, his physical condition was so remarkably sound that he could still enjoy a lengthy canoe trip on the river or a five-mile hike on its banks. In general, this vigor remained with the Doctor until the time of his well-earned retirement in 1944.

It is difficult properly to evaluate the work of this man.

We know that he saw two definite stages of our development in his day and played a positive role in both. Professor Kowalke has .pointed out that our church in its work was forced to undergo a difficult change. Before the turn of this century our pastors carried on the greater part of their work in the German language.

Our church and its members were accustomed to this as the language of their fathers and founders in this country. But this was to change. The younger generation needed English in their worship as well as their daily life. The church, in order to carry on its work effectively, had to make the change and adapt itself to a new mode of expression. To meet this need, 198

RED our Lord made our church the gift of Doctor Ott, who was gifted in both languages and capable to establish an efficient English department. This is perhaps the most outstanding we owe for him. feature in the

MT. RUSHMORE MEMORIAL

by L. WURSTER

What is so rare as a day in June?

Then if ever come vei'fect days, When heaven tries earth if it be in tune.

And over it softly her %oarm ear lays.

Whether tve look or whether we listen, We hear life murmer or see it glisten.

The school bus left Sparta at ten o’clock on a sunny, in-* viting morning in June. In it were twenty-seven high school students, eagerly wanting to get to the Black Hills. The first day’s journey took us to Mankato, Minnesota, where we camped for the night. Mankato was as fitting and proper as the sunny day and the day’s travel had been. Life had seemed to glisten.

The next day’s journey brought us into South Dakota, but we weren’t disappointed; we had heard rumors about this state. Traveling through the Bad Lands didn’t seem bad at first; the sand hills, rich in calcium, appeared as midget 200

mountains, all looking alike. The scattered cacti, together with the so-called hills, bore some intrinsic quality of fascination.

But in the afternoon it began to rain, rather it began to pour, and we kept traveling. The most suitable camping place for the night was a little town called Flat, and it was true to its name. Not only did the life in the tent murmur, but the wind moaned outside, driving rain through the minutest openings of the tent.

The next day’爸 travel ended at Dead wood, South Dakota, but, contrary to our preconceived notion, there weren’t any huge, dead forests around. Visiting the museum that evening, we learned more about General Custer than our history teacher in school had ever thought of telling us.

We were in the Black Hills territory, and we all agreed that these hills had been given a very fitting name. The trees of the pine family, which cover them, give them a very darkening efTect. Yet they don’t seem cold; rather they arouse one’s curiosity to such^a degree that he wants to explore the hills.

In this territory is Mt. Rushmore Memorial, a spectacle no tourist misses while traveling through the Black Hills. Shortly we were at Rapid City, and, leaving Rapid City, we soon began climbing hills, necessarily shifting the bus into lower gears as we ascended them. Up we went and down we looked; the road below seemed to angle and wind like a snake’s trail. On coming to tunnels through certain sections of the rocky hills we necessarily had to stop to see whether our bus would get through them. (The contractors had taken everything into consideration; there was always an inch to spare on either side of the bus.)

After a three-hour ascent we parked in the Memorial Park­ ing Lot. RegisterCyour names, please! Then a small deposit.

All set!丄 Now the’guide:began to explain. K.The faces of .Wash­ ington, Jefferson, Lincoln, and Theodore Roosevelt, the last not yet finished, were about 265 feet high, carved out of solid rock.

(The carver luckily was there at work that day, so the immensity of the task he and his father together with their workers had attacked was impressed upon our minds.)、So realistic are these faces—the pale face of Washington, the 201

RED Father of Our Country; Jefferson’s kind, humanistic face; Lincoln’s rustic, sincere, statesmanlike face; and Roosevelt wearing his glasses—that we expected the rocky projection to shout some phrase of glory to the U. S. A. After the brief explanation the guide began to lead us to the top of the memorial. We went up flights and flights of stairs, hundreds of feet of them. From the top of these stairs we could look down into a chasm which was several hundred feet deep.

Across this chasm is a plank platform about twelve feet long and three feet wide with just a rope on both sides for a railing.

After crossing this little bridge we were on the top of the memorial. It was almost sunset time, and the darkness of the pines on the surrounding hills stood out, giving a semi-weird effect, which at the same time was awe-inspiring. It is a sight to behold which one cannot very well enjoy vicariously. But as one stands and looks at this scenic beauty of nature, there are two thoughts which go through his mind: Indeed, this natural rock formation is a revelation of God of Himself in His work, and the rays of the setting sun make life glisten, or those dark hills with the wind murmuring through the trees make life murmur; this is no revelation of God, this is a height from which to make a suicidal jump.

ON THE PAD It was not acquired at a handsome price so long ago, Oh no.

Just a modest sum of money purchased then What is now So important to the school, As any fool Can plainly see.

It’.s part of dorm tradition, and will be ’Till the end of time, Or I’m Not Moose.

Who’s the goose That talked so loose The other night and said he wouldn’t bother to check out?

RED The absence of his name On this office hall of fame (?)

Became conspicuous and resulted in his being deprived of the privilege of signing on its plain smooth surface for some time.

It’s a crime That occasionally someone stoops so low That he’ll go Out at night Without right.

That is, he will leave the dorm without paying his respects to the pad.

That’s bad.

Many a tale could this outfit relate If fate Had given it power to talk Or chalk To write what it slyly had wittnessed or heard in the course of its term on the office desk.

But talk it can’t, That I grant.

And it’s best That it rest In its place without murmuring; best for all concerned that it hears no evil, sees none, nor does anything to cause a lot of trouble.

Even though its superstructure wears away and is displaced, It’s not disgraced— The pad I mean.

For its frame, the very essence of the thing itself, Stays on And on 一 And if that should ever have to be replaced, Many a lad Would be sad At its passsing.

RED ITS SO EASY hit F. KOSANKE

In the line of post-war improvements in the advertising world three super-duper contests have made their appearance.

All of them are of the finish-this-sentence-in-twenty-fivewords-or-less variety. Twenty post-war jeeps or one thousand dollars in cash, plus ten thousand dollars in smaller prizes, is offered by the Pepsodent Company; one hundred Bendix wash­ ing machines are to be had from the Dr. Lyons people; and Rawleigh cigarettes are giving away new Chevrolets. All of these wonderful opportunities are dangled in front of John Q. Public. What happens?

Three reactions occur: One group of people knows too well that the law of averages is against them; they’re too smart to waste their time, so they throw away the box-top with the box.

The second group doesn’t even think about the odds, so in probability the entries aren’t written intelligently enough even to place.

The man in the third group takes a firmer grip on his rabbit’s foot and hopes that everyone but him fits into the first two groups, and therefore he is sure to win. Even if he doesn’t win first prize, he’s bound to get enough to pay for the postage.

There you are.

It’s like taking candy from a baby. I’ll take the jeep, Mr. Pepsodent. And, Mr. Rawleigh, please deliver that Chevy to 803 Clyman.

JbttartHl The Lutheran Church And The Negro ...

N Milwaukee on the 14th of October last, I heard Rev. M. N. Carter of Chicago preach. Rev. Carter is a Negro pastor in Chicago. His text for that mission festival day was the 35th chapter of Isaiah. In my Bible at the head of each chapter there is a brief synopsis.' For Isaiah chapter 35 it reads thus: ‘‘The joyful' flourishing of Christ’s kingdom, the weak are encouraged by the virtues of the Gospel.” Rev. Carter used this text, the essence of which I have quoted, to show that it is the duty of the Lutheran Church, to be more exact, the duty of those church bodies affiliated with the Synodical Conference, to preach the Gospel to the negroes and thereby accomplish their salvation. And the reason that he picks the Lutheran Church for this job is that it has pure doctrine, pure Word, and pure apostolic practice.

205

RED Rev. Carter brought out his theme very vividly by the use of three subdivisions entitled, * Through whom? How? What shall happen?

Through whom, I have partly pointed out already. Not through false prophets and dissemblers of the truth, men who only lead the Negro further astray, but through men who know what the truth is and who know how to preach it. These are the men who have pure doctrine, the pure Word, and pure apostolic practice: in other words, pastors and teachers of the Synodical Conference.

The second part of his text was also exactly elaborated upon. How does God bring it about that the Lutheran Church should teach the negro salvation? To bring this out Rev. Carter went all the way back to the time of Paul. He showed how Paul, after he had received the message from Macedonia and after he had gone over to Europe, began to preach the Gospel there. Thus the Gospel wedge was driven into Europe, and it pointed westward. In due time the mighty Catholic Church had grown up and become corruption itself. Because of that rottenness God raised up a prophet, a teacher if you will, who was to clarify and cleanse the Word of God. This man was Martin Luther, and he did his work during the first half of the sixteenth century.

At the last quarter of the fifteenth century Columbus discovered America. This opened up a new land to the west where the Gospel could again flourish, the true Gospel which Luther had made clear.

Extensive colonization did not begin in what is now known as the U. S. A. until the year 1607, when Jamestown, Vir­ ginia, was settled by the English. This was followed by Ply­ mouth, Massachusetts, in 1620 and so on until James Oglethorpe began the colonization of Georgia in 1732.

In 1619 the first Negroes were sold as slaves to the colonists ’ in Virginia. Thus a future home for the pure Gospel was established, and at the same time the Negro was brought to a land where he would be able to come into contact with the saving grace of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

For one thousand six hundred and nineteen years the Negro had lived in Africa in the chains of slavery, in gross 206

RED superstition and ignorance, praying to idols and putting his trust in nothing as it were. But all this time the Lord was watching and now began to move them and the Gospel to where both might be free, the one to live as he pleased and the other to be preached as the Lord wanted it preached. That is how the Lord brought it about that the Negro and the Gospel have come together at last. The Lutheran Church has a distinct duty to dispense the treasure which she has to the Negro.

And now what shall happen if the pure Word is preached to the Negro, the Negro who has been so long without the saving Word of God? “The peculiar fault of the Negro,” said Rev. Carter, “is not that his color is black, but that he has lived so long in the sins of his father Ham.’’ This then is what shall happen if the Word of God is preached to the Negro, and I quote Isaiah: "Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilder­ ness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert. And the parched ground shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water: in the habitation of dragons, where each lay, shall be grass with reeds and rushes. And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein. No lion shall be there, nor any ravenous beast shall go up thereon, it shall not be found there; but the redeemed shall walk there: And the ransomed of the Lord shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.

The heritage then which Paul gave to Europe, which Luther by the grace of God cleansed of the false doctrine of the Catholic Church, which we Christians still have by the grace of God, ought to be, is being, and will continue to be preached to the Negro here in the United States and in Africa.

—Philip K. Press 207

RED Girl Trouble •…

HE coeds want to be written about. Can you imagine?

Be that as it may, the fact remains that they would like to be mentioned in the B and R. I can see their point. After all, there are more collegiate coeds here now than there have been for years. (I got this in­ formation from Tuch; it’s quite reliable, I guess.) I believe that since the coeds do make up fairly good-sized portion of the collegiate student body, they deserve to be mentioned. Of course, that’s merely my opinion. There may be some who disagree with me, but in view of the circumstances, I doubt whether there are many. So thafs settled.

Now, how shall we go about this? One way would be to interest the coeds in writing for publication in the B and R. That method should work out fairly well, if the girls cooperate and make it worthwhile. In that way the coeds could disclose bits of information about themselves at their own discretion.

Another method would be to have a member of the Black and Red staff become unofficial reporter for the collegiate coed department. (I can think of one willing candidate for the job right now.) The duty of the reporter would be to circulate among the coeds and by various and devious ways, fair or foul, ferret out juicy tidbits of tattle which could then be printed.

The coeds would probably be only too willing to tell tales on each other, and that would make it even more interesting.

These are two methods I suggest for getting the coeds mentioned in the B and R. Any other suggestions would be welcome, I’m sure. (Now are you satisfied? I told you I’d mention the coeds!)

The defense rests. Your case, gals! 一 Bud (Octopus) Lau

Parks ...

HE notice on the bulletin board called it “An Illustrated Lecture on our Western Parks’’，but it was actually a welldone survey of a vacation pleasantly spent in touring the West

by Dr. Harvey Uber, of the Milwaukee State Teachers’ College, and his family.

Starting out on U. S. 16 we were taken westward. After a short glimpse of the Bad Lands and the Black Hills we were given a longer look at Yellowstone Park, its hot springs, geysers, pools and falls. Then came the Grand Tetons, Mt. Rainer, Bonneville Dam with its fish ladders, beautiful Crater Lake, San Francisco, Yosemite, Los Angeles, assorted deserts and dams, the Grand Canyon, Mesa Verde, Pike’s Peak, the Dust Bowl and the Rocky Mountains, ending, of course, with a sunset.

Our Western Parks is a topic that covers a lot of ground.

When shots of dams, cities and regions like the Dust Bowl are added, transitions from one scene to another come thick and fast. But this movie was interesting enough to make the time go swiftly anyway. Dr. Uber gave us many little- known facts about well-known places in his accompanying talk.

Prospective visitors to the West would do well to see this movie and then pick out the place they like best to spend a vacation.

Wisconsin partially blocked a punt and recovered it on NWC’s 35 yard line. Then NWC turned right around and recovered a Wisconsin fumble on its own 27. The march down field paid off early in the second period, Wietzke pushing the ball over.

In the same period Malchow intercepted a pass on the Wis­ consin 35. Hackbarth took a pass from Wietzke and ran it 20 yards for the second touchdown.

It was late in the second quarter when Wisconsin finally rammed home its first 6 points. After the half, however, they came out and tied up the score in short order.

In the fourth quarter Wisconsin conveniently fumbled again and Hackbarth recovered. This break proved the beginning of 215

It was not until the third quarter that NWC tied the score with a 35-yard pass from Wietzke to Ziesemer.

The score was not tied for long, for on the very next kickoff Wisconsin ran the ball back almost 90 yards and two plays later scored.

RED That concludes the football season of 1945 for Northwestern.

The team won 5, lost 1. Total points for NWC--122; opponents …42. There were only three minor casualties during the whole season. We are all looking foward to football in 1946. The team won’t lose any men through graduation. Rather, it will gain a few promising boys from the Prep department. Coach Umnus informed me that the old conference with Extension, Miners, Milton and Mission House has been started again in football as well as in basketball. Sounds good!

Individual scoring on the team ran as follows: Uetzmann 2 touchdowns 6 extra points Wietzke 6 2 ‘‘ .‘ Hackbarth 4 4 Mattek ICempfert 1 Broitsman 1 Ziesemer This is the 1945-46 basketball schedule as Coach showed it to me on November 13th.

THE BLACK AND RED Volume XLIX.

Watertown, Wis” December 1945. Number 8

Entered at the Postoflice at Watertown, \Vis.t as second class matter under Act of March 3. i87Q« Published monthly. Subscription, One Dollar.

A CHRISTMAS STORY Little Jacob was tired and sleepy as he went to bed. It seemed as though his whole body was weary. He knew very well why this was so, too, for hadn’t he been working hard all day? His father had found many errands for him to do that day—messages to carry, people to lead to their rooms, and even the old stable behind the inn to clean out. Jacob’s father was the inn-keeper, and the inn was a busy place these days, it seemed. Jacob didn’t quite understand it, but he’d never before seen so many people come flocking into town. They came from all directions, some walking, some riding on mules, and some even riding up swiftly in chariots or on horses. No, little Jacob couldn’t quite understand it. He had heard of a new law or something that the big king who lived across the sea had given, that all the people had to be counted and that they all had to go to the towns where their parents and grandparents had come from. That’s all little Jacob knew about it. Any­ how, there were many more people in Bethlehem than he’d ever seen before. There were many new little boys to play with, 219

RED too. Maybe that was another reason for Jacob’s being so tired.

He’d been able to find time during the day to play with some of the strange boys, busy though he’d been.

Jacob lay in his little bed and thought about all that had happened to him that day. He couldn’t remember it all distinctly, because so much had happened. He could remember people coming into the inn all day, so many different faces that Jacob knew he couldn’t remember them all clearly. But two people he could remember very well. He’d felt so sorry for them. They looked so tired and worried. The man had been leading a mule, and riding the mule had been a beautiful young woman. Jacob’s father had been sorry for them too, but he didn’t have any more room for them in his inn. As they were turning away to go, Jacob’s father suddenly thought of the old stable in the back. Why not spread clean, dry hay all over and let the poor people sleep out there? He’d asked them if that would be all right, and they had quickly agreed. So little Jacob had led them out to the stable and had carefully spread out nice, clean hay all around for them. He’d tied their mule up so it wouldn’t get away and had given it some hay. From some of the richer people little Jacob would get bits of copper if he’d work hard, but from these people he got only a wonder­ ful smile and a thank-you from the young woman. Funny, Jacob thought, but that smile had seemed worth much more than money!

As little Jacob lay there on his bed, he watched the stars through his window. Tonight they seemed so big and friendly that it almost seemed as if he could reach up and pick them out of the sky. Jacob thought how bright it seemed—almost as bright as day. He must be terribly tired, he thought; maybe his eyes were playing him tricks. Suddenly he got up and went to the window. No, he wasn’t wrong. It tuas brighter than usual. He didn’t understand it. He looked around.

There, coming over the edge of the roof! k star, shining as brightly as the sun, shone right down toward him. He followed its rays with his eyes. It shone right on the stable! Jacob rubbed his eyes. It was all so strange. He decided to run to his father, but just then he saw a group of shepherds come hurrying into the yard. They looked excited and dazed, as if 220

RED they’d just awakened from sleep. Without hesitation they headed straight for the stable and went inside.

Little Jacob wondered what those shepherds wanted in his father's stable. I，d better find out, he thought. He quickly threw on his clothes and quietly sneaked outside. He tiptoed to the stable, almost blinded by the bright star, which was lighting up the whole yard. He crept into the stable, and there he saw the shepherds. They were all silently kneeling in the corner, surrounding the man and his wife. Jacob crept closer. What was that lying there on the hay in the manger that they all seemed to be gazing upon so adoringly? There was a little baby lying there on the hay, wrapped in strips of old cloth. Jacob looked and looked. The shepherds kept kneeling. All was quiet.

Finally Jacob slowly crept out of the stable and went back to the inn. He went to his room and took off his clothes and clambered back into his bed. He was puzzled. Why was the star so bright? Why had the shepherds come? Little Jacob lay quietly. He felt very tired. He still couldn’t understand, but he remembered the shining face of that little baby out in the stable，and he felt a feeling of deep peace and utter con­ tentment come over him. Little Jacob fell asleep.

A BLESSING IN DISGUISE

by L.

I know not what the future hath Of marvel or surprise Assured alone that life and death His mercy underlies.

It was a hazy, foggy, dreary day during Christmas vaca­ tion, and it was trying to rain. The snow-covered hills around a little lumbering town were grimy and as suggestive of melan­ choly as the threatening weather. Shouts of children at leisure and the boisterous high school boys echoed throughout the town.

Hans Schweisz, a high school junior, wasn’t leisurely enjoying himself with the gang; instead he was working at the local saw mill, throwing blocks of wood away as they were sawed by a buzz saw. The wet blocks often slipped in his hands, and the sawdust stuck to his clothing just as his wet 221.

RED clothes stuck to his sweaty body. Surely this isn’t a fit day to work, he thought, but he knew that if he wanted to become a vocational agriculture teacher, he would need the money he was earning in order to attend the university. He didn’t know what the future really had in store for him, but he had plans.

As he stood there throwing blocks away from the saw, he realized how slippery his standing place was becoming and thought to himself that an accident could easily happen.

All of a sudden he thought that he had slipped; he felt his left arm go numb and heard his fellow workers shout. Some­ thing awful had happened; he could tell it from the excited movements of the other men. ‘*Who’s hurt?’’ he asked and looked at himself. Fresh, red, warm blood was spurting from his left arm, leaving a red streak on the snow. Unconsciously he drew his large bandana out of his pocket and began to make a tourniquet. One of the workmen finished making the tourni­ quet, and some of the fellows took him to the doctor’s office, where he received pioneer medical treatment, before being transferred to the hospital in the nearest city, Rhinelander.

Once on the operating table in the hospital, he lost con­ sciousness; the sun seemed to be revolving around the moon.

It was as though the world were coming to an end. Hans didn’t fear; he had been to church the previous Sunday and felt that God was near him, and, if he would die, he would go to heaven because he hadn’t skipped church on that previous Sunday. With this comforting thought in mind he succumbed to the anaesthetic which had been given him, knowing that “His mercy underlies life and death.”

Hans regained consciousness the next morning and felt a burning, fiery something in his left arm. 1'Water, water,” he cried. His mother got up quickly from a chair which was next to his bed. He was very much surprised, because he hadn’t been aware of her presence. ' 'Do you know what has happened ?’ ’ she casually asked. He tried to think; there was that constantly burning feeling, and it seemed to flame up as he tried to turn over in bed. "Oh, why___ooh, my arm has been amputated，” he painfully forced himself to say. “That means no more boxing and basketball for me,” and in a half stupified and depressed state of mind he sank underneath the covers, his mother trying to comfort him. “Wisdom is better than 222

；.•

1 :

RED strength,” he heard her say. Then a young nurse, in answer to the red light outside his door, came into the room. She recognized the depressed state of mind the boy was in and tried to cheer him with her light, gay speech. The plain white dress which she wore magnified her hazel-eyed, light auburn-haired prettiness into actual beauty. Her name was June and Hans was immediately attracted to her. She seemed so much like his mothei\ yet so much more gay, frivolous and also so under­ standing.

On the very afternoon of that day during her free hours she went shopping and got a box of chocolates for Hans. She would often bring him extra chocolate milk and orange juice from the hospital kitchen, while she was on duty. It was little things like these that made them friends. One day she even brought her camera to his room and took his picture. Already he was forgetting the grave sorrow of his accident.

During his stay in the hospital he received numerous cards of condolence. * Many of his friends from high school visited him. He was showered with gifts and flowers. Many said, ‘•You are right-handed, you aren’t so bad off. It always could have been worse.” “That’s true,” he would say, but he more or less resented such remarks.

A local resident who was in the same boat visited him and told and showed him how his artificial arm worked. It’s won­ derful what science can do, thought Hans.

Still he hadn’t been very impressed by anyone, except June; but one day the Lutheran minister visited him. He told about one of his classmates in college who had also been as un­ fortunate as Hans was. He had been a baseball pitcher, had played a trumpet in the college band and was now serving the Lord. The story wasn’t very significant at first, but Hans often pondered it.

Back in school again, he began to participate in intramural sports. It was so fair; everyone got a chance to participate.

Hans began to devote the attention he had given to boxing to forensics, and he did all right. He still played softball, kept up his archery, went swimming, skiing, played tennis, bowled, etc. “If there’s a will, there’s a way，” he always said. He appreciated offered help, but seldom accepted it. He wanted 223

RED to be independent, not feel inferior to anyone or be a liability to people, Finally graduation day rolled around, and he was graduated from high school with honors. Of course June was there. Their mere comradship had developed into a deep friendship and was still growing. ‘‘What are you going to do now, Hans?” she asked. ‘‘I never wanted to ask this embarrassing question, but you don’t mind now, do you?’’

"No, I don’t, it’s just because I never wanted to hurt your feelings or make you worry that I’ve never said anything about this. You see, June, I want to prepare for the holy ministry.

It wouldn’t be fair to ask you to wait so long for me.”

But, Hans, what’s time? Won’t time after that day be and pass just as it will while you study, while I work, and while we both wait?”

•‘I never thought of it that way,” he retorted.

Fall came and Hans entered college. The correspondence between him and June was friendly and effective. On Christ­ mas day Hans would be home, and that day Hans at his desk and June in the hospital awaited eagerly. The expectations of the day never ripened, because while June was travelling to see Hans on Christmas eve, the car in which she was riding was hit by a train, and all its passengers were killed instantly.

This was a terrible shock to Hans. “When or where will I ever find another lady, with the exception of my mother, who will understand and admire me as June did?” he asked himself.

Yet he didn’t despair.

That is the story of Hans Schweisz as he told it to me. He told it not to arouse pity or to brag; perhaps he wanted others to study his misfortunes. The message he did want to convey to mankind was that "All things work together for good to them that love God. Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest.”

And if my heart and flesh are weak To bear an untried pain， The bruised reed He will not break, But strengthen and sustain.

RED THE AMERICAN FARM

by M,

Now more than ever we have come to realize the importance and need of the American farm. Nation upon nation has been thoroughly ruined and devastated by the greatest of all wars.

Until these nations get back on their feet, they must be and are being fed and supported. It is chiefly America that is doing this task, and it is the American farm that makes this possible for America. A nation must itself be independent and self-re­ liant before it even thinks of aiding and supporting fellowcountries. America is such a nation, and it is again the American farm that gives her this independence and selfreliance. Cannot the American farm then symbolize America’s and, consequently, your and my ideal of independence and self-reliance?

Let us now look into this American farm a little more fully and see how it has come to symbolize what it does. First of all we shall see why and how it began and how it developed.

Then we shall follow the development of our nation’s manu­ facturing industry as a result of the independent and selfsupporting farm, and finally we shall see how the American farm does symbolize American independence and self-reliance.

Man, by nature, has always been an independent and free­ dom-loving creature. Because of just that this last great and destructive war broke out. That is the underlying cause of our many strikes. No one wants to be told what to do. For that reason the Mayflower set out with its load of Pilgrims. That one voyage led to the founding of the American farm. When the Pilgrims set foot on American soil at Plymouth Rock, their first thoughts were not of manufacturing but of finding a means to survive and exist. Food was the main problem. The Indians helped them out, but they soon had to have some more dependable source of food. The only other source then was to raise crops of their own, and that they did. They worked their flesh to the bones clearing fields, preparing the ground for their crops. They had only crude implements, but nevertheless they accomplished what they set out to do. The American farm was now established in that corner of the country known as New England. The American farm was independent. It needed to rely on no one else.

225

RED colonists came to America. The soil in More and New England was not the best for farming. These factors led to a general expansion westward in the times of the frontier.

Better farming land was found, land on which crops would thrive and from which more than enough could be harvested.

The fanner had an over-abundance now. He could turn his attention to things other than how he would manage to scrape together the winterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supplies for his family. He had time for improving and making his own farm implements and other equipment for which he was still dependent upon other countries.

Thus we come to American industry, the next step in the direction of self-support in the natural development of a nation after its food supply has been determined. Americans were still dependent for their clothing and almost all of their equipment. The inborn nature of man led them to seek to make their own necessaries, to be independent of all other people. Invention after invention led to factories and to the manufacturing of their own products. People were needed to work in the factories. These people could not raise their own crops then but acquired their support from the American farmer, that person who could now support not only himself but also many others. With this industry came improvements in farm implements. With these better products, in turn, farmers could tap the nations resources to greater advantage.

In short, an advance in one direction produced an advance in the other.

America in that way became more and more a self-support­ ing and independent nation, a nation that had the resources to become entirely self-reliant, and did become so. America did not have to depend on its mother country or any other country any longer. Instead, America was lending aid and beginning to support other nations. The spirit o.f the earliest colonists had prevailed through thick and thin and had accomplished the highest attainable goal, that of a nation independent and selfreliant, a nation which agriculturally and industrially produced to such an extent as to support other nations. The American farm and its principle of freedom from oppression have brought this about. The American farm is certainly Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s symbol of independence and self-reliance. It can mean nothing else.

May the American farm continue to be that shining symbol of what we so dearly cherish!

New Building—New Ssytem? . . •

w

E often hear about the good reputation for knowledge that Northwestern students have acquired at other colleges and universities at which they have furthered their studies.

Yet, if we take stock of the amount of knowledge we have garnered individually, we begin to form theories about how such an opinion could have developed. If an entire collegiate class would transfer to the University of Chicago, for example, and go to classes there with students who had spent the same amount of time on the same subjects, whom would that com­ parison favor?

But only one in a hundred graduates does further his education elsewhere. How does this student gain such acclaim?

First of all, he must be a diligent student, or he wouldn’t desire to learn more. Then perhaps he makes major and minor of subjects which were well taught him at Northwestern. Perhaps he had the best luck in those subjects in respect to teachers, presentation and study methods. Perhaps he did outside reading and studying. At any rate, he is exceptional.

It is doubtful whether the student body will ever have a hand in making or changing the curriculum. But some deficiencies now existing are evident to all, and as for other changes, hope springs eternal.

During a recent vacation a college student worked at a factory where German prisoners of war were employed. He talked to some of the prisoners. Most of them could talk no English, but one spoke the language rather well—he had studied 228

RED English in high school for two years. The student had spoken a few halting German sentences: he was asked where he had learned German. He rather shocked the prisoners when he told them he had studied German for five years at a college.

The dual history courses seem to evidence defeatism, ‘‘If we don’t make them quite understand during the first four years, we’ll try again the next four.” So the same subjects, divided into the same divisions, presented in the same way, are taught twice, mostly by the same professors. No doubt repeti­ tion is a way to learn, but then American history could be taught for eight years without imparting all the fine points to the student.

The seventh year of Latin has been recognized as needless.

Six years still seem to weigh down the balance on the wrong side, when compared to the resulting usefulness. Four should be sufficient.

In the line of general reformation, here are some ideas gathered from students and alumni: Make the first four years of German a conversational course, with reading done outside the class and reported on and discussed in the class, in German, of course. Since the need for German pastors grows less each year, and the old people who speak eighteenth century German are dying out, modern German would prove more practical. Three dead languages are enough. In the collegiate department the classics could still be read.

Drop the entire preparatory history course, and make the collegiate course more comprehensive. The periods left open could be used to advantage to enlarge the science course. Both biology and physics should be accompanied by laboratory periods, and chemistry should be given more than three lecture periods a week. For the unscientific, musical appreciation, organ music and choir directing could be given as an alternate to chemistry and physics.

In English, as in German, more accent should be put on contemporary literature.

Substitute the more practical subjects sociology and speech for logic and philosophy.

Departments like history, mathematics and the languages should either be put under the supervision of one person or be 229

!

RED divided clearly as to amount of material to be covered in a year’s course. This would prevent the now frequently heard complaint, "You should have gotten that year before last!”

It has always seemed incongruous that the same synod which demands that parochial school teachers have at least six weeks of training in teaching methods should staff its College and Seminary with men called directly from the ministry. That the results have been as good as they have been is amazing. A safer procedure would be to choose a man and then give him one or two years of university work in his field and in teaching methods before bestowing upon him a professorship. Attend­ ance at summer sessions should be demanded at least every five years. Living wages should be paid and an honorable pension system set up; that is the least that should be done for the men in whose hands is the future of the synod.

The new building to be built here under the Synod Build­ ing Fund will give many advantages. The spacious reading room in the library will be an inducement to do extra studying and research. The large lecture room will be useful for lecture periods, movies, and student entertainment programs. The science rooms will be much needed working space. Why not take all these advantages and build around them an improved, up-to-date curriculum?

Will The Church Survive? •• •

w

HAT is the business of the Church today? Is the Church failing in its obligations over against mankind, and just what are these obligations? These are extremely controversial questions simply because all people are not agreed as to the nature of the Kingdom of God or His Church on earth.

Many unbelievers contend that the Church has fallen asleep and is not performing the duties it set out to、perform. The Church, they say, is not preaching to menXwhat it should preach, is not showing men how to live, and consequently is not bringing ahout the outward changes they expect and demand.

They demand of the Church the preaching of a social gospel in­ stead of the true Gospel of Christ. They want bloodshed and wars to stop, enmities to cease, distinction among individuals 230

RED to be wiped out, and all men to live in peace. In short, they want man to better himself with the ultimate goal of a heaven on this earth, a utopia, or what have you.

These unbelievers first look to the Church as a medium for their final objective. They actually take a part in it, but they disregard the, one thing needful, namely Christ. They don’t want to be told that they are sinful, that Christ came to save them from their sins.. No, they want to hear something about Good works,” and “Love,” and *'Everybody live as a brother to the next person.” Christianity, however, does not bring about internal changes unless the simple truths of the Gospel are accepted and practiced. Since they don’t accept these simple truths, the natural result is that they feel the Church is to blame. Blinded by their own failure to accept the truth, they turn from it.

Even though they often do not admit the fact, men realize that they are sinful. This is brought home .to them every day.

Just one glance at a newspaper shows them this. Nations fail to agree on peace, everywhere there is misbelief, lawlessness is on the increase. Even the discovery and development of the atomic bomb impresses this fact on men. Their once secure world now begins to tremble. They realize that mankind is capable of destroying itself. "Something must be done,” they cry.

Man must be made to respect the rights of others.’’ If Christianity can’t do it, it must pass away, and they will turn to something else. As they turn away from Christ, what do they turn to? They don’t know themselves. Surely by now they must realize that there is no glory in man There can be no utopia for sinful man. The result can only be destruction for themselves and their followers.

The very fact that these people make such demands of the church reveals that they do not understand even the word Church.” The Church is not a visible church but an invisible church. It is a congregation of believers, and only God can look into the hearts of men and tell whether or not a man is a true believer. "The Kingdom of God (or Church),’’ Christ tells us, “cometh not with observation; neither shall they say, Lo here! or, Lo there! For behold, the kingdom of God is within you.”

The true purpose of the Church is not to better man’s con­ dition, not to make the world a better place to live in, but 231 t i

i i

11

RED simply to bring the Gospel of Christ to men. ‘‘Go ye，therefore and teach all nations.”

The spiritual Church has always preached and lived Christ.

To the true Christian, Christ is everything. Without Christ the Christian is nothing. In unity, ’tis said, there is strength; just so with Christ and the Christian. “I am the vine, ye are the branches; he that abideth in me and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit. For without me ye can do nothing.”

The Church may be persecuted and many Christians may lose their lives, but, as long as the Gospel is preached, there will be believers, and, as long as there are believers, Christ will be with them. 4,Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world.” 一 THUS THE CHURCH WILL ENDURE.

Cut Out The Clipping ... ^r^RIENDS of Maxwell Durant, 1356 West Gorvue Blvd., of 「this city, will be pleased to learn that he is apparently recovering from serious injuries sustained in an auto accident last Tuesday night. Mr. Durant and his wife, it seems, were on their way home from a bridge party when the tragedy occurred. , *‘No other vehicle was involved in the accident, and the circumstances were most peculiar. There were no witnesses.

For some strange reason the Durant machine hit a telephone pole at the corner of Fourth and Main. The impact fractured several of Durant’s ribs and his left leg, severely lacerated his face, and caused possible internal injuries. His condition is described as satisfactory by attending physicians, but he is still too weak to talk. Mrs. Durant, strangely, was not injured.

"Police had a hard time getting information from Mrs. Durant. At first she insisted that her husband had been asphyxiated by the automatic choke or that he had been shocked by the electromatic transmission, but after three hours of un­ interrupted questioning she finally broke down and explained how the accident had actually occurred.

'Maxwell is such a stupid bridge player,’ she.said. ‘If I told him once, I told him a thousand times never to—” i(

232

RED You’d like to know Mrs. Durant’s explanation, wouldn’t you? What had she told Max never to do? What did this have to do with the accident? You can’t imagine, can you? You won’t sleep much tonight, will you? Well, you had better resign yourself to perpetual ignorance and insomnia, because you’ll have to do a lot of begging before I break down and tell you.

You see, I should like to know whose house Itchy backed into, and what Eva thought when Adolf failed to show up for a date, and how many touchdowns Smitowicz made against the Boilerhuskers, but I’ll never know-----all because some incon，siderate individual found his second cousin’s picture on the society page and decided to clip it out for his scrap book or be­ cause he decided to tell in twenty-five words or less why he will get up for breakfast on Monday morning only if he gets Scragg’s oatmeal paddies and win a post-war automatic electronic pea sheller with his initials engraved on the handle.

Why doesn’t this fellow simply write his name on his clipping and leave it there until the rest of us have had a chance to read the paper?

Two Concerts •…

AY evening, November 30, we were treated to a very F RID delightful concert by two Milwaukee artists, Miss Hulda Lange, violinist, and Mrs. Henrietta Buell Mortonson, pianist.

Mrs. Mortonson is the daughter of Supt. Buell, who was the head of Watertown schools for about twenty-five years and lived here until quite recently. She studied under Robert Adams Buell of the Wisconsin Conservatory, has played with the Milwaukee Symphony as a guest artist, and appears in and around Milwaukee in concerts and recitals. Mrs. Mortonson is now a staff-member of the Milwaukee State Teachers’ College, where she teaches piano.

Miss Lange is a native of Milwaukee, the daughter of a Lutheran minister there. She also studied at the Wisconsin Conservatory under Lloyd Briece. Besides having played with the Milwaukee Symphony, she has performed publicly in Mil­ waukee and is a member of the W T M J Radio Staff. In this capacity she broadcasts regularly, playing everything from Boogie Woogie to Beethoven.

Despite the fact that they had a little car trouble (lost a piece of the rear bumper), they arrived on time. The concert was delayed only a short while, during which period our electricians converted the lighting of the basketball floor to that of a concert hall (by the addition of a floor lamp). In this new setting and the accompanying classic-concert atmos­ phere (purely mental), the performers gave forth. The per­ formance was definitely good—they had much to give and they gave it. Mrs. Mortonson chose a very interesting program of 234

RED Bach and Chopin. We certainly were pleased, especially after contrasting it with the concert of modern piano music a few weeks ago. Miss Lange represented a number of composers: Haendel, Kreisler, Mendelssohn, and Tschaikowsky, Falla and Espejo. It seems the violin playing was more appealing to the students, perhaps because of the nature of the instrument itself or to the infrequency of violin performances here (or, what has happened to the College Orchestra?)

A few weeks ago Cara Verson gave a talk (with demonstra­ tions) on modern piano styles. She mentioned very briefly Futurism, Impressionism, Modality, Parallel Chords, Quarter Tones, Twelve Tone Technique, and Whole Tone Scale, but anyone without some knowledge of harmony and modern music would not have learned a great deal about these topics.

At best we could try to enjoy the demonstrations, although there are still many who cannot appreciate the modernist. It seems our musical eye is still focused on Beethoven, Brahms, Bach, and the other Classicists.

For which they give thanks: A son, James Armin, born on November 2, to Rev. and Mrs. Gilbert Sydow, ’36, Rainer, Washington.

A six-pound baby boy, an October shoot, born to Rev. and Mrs. Paul Kuehl, ’41，Reeder, North Dakota.

Isn’t it a coincidence? Pastor Waldemar Hoyer, 736, of Waukesha, Wisconsin, has received a call to a mission congre­ gation in Arizona; and Pastor Waldemar Zarling of Douglas, Arizona, has received a call to Waukesha.

On November 27, funeral rites for Oswald Oerding, ’02, were conducted at St. Mark’s Lutheran Church, Watertown, Wisconsin, where the deceased had resided. His body was laid to rest at Lutheran Cemetery.

This can hardly be called news, but may it serve as an acknowledgment of news omitted from a previous issue.

Among the seminary students who took leave to accept teach­ ing positions is William Zell, ’44, instructing at Winnebago Lutheran Academy, Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. If there are any further omissions from this column, it is because THE BLACK AND RED is not being kept well enough informed.

WITH OUR SERVICEMEN We regret that in the last number of THE BLACK AND RED, which was a memorial to our servicemen, completeness could not be attained in giving account of them. In supplement we add: ROLAND M. THU ROW M/S Roland Thurow, ex M7, enlisted in the fall of 1943 under the Navy V-12 program to train for the medical profession. In .

June, 1945, he completed a pre-medical course at Marquette University. For the following three months he was stationed at the Naval Hospital at Great Lakes, Illinois. Since September 236

After years of hard use, the frayed and ragged cord of phone 320 has finally been replaced. One ought to, perhaps, frame the old cord and hang it in a place of honor in the office, since it has carried so many messages of great importance to various individuals in the dormitory. Without it, many a heart would not have throbbed so fervently (ey, Otto?), and many would be seen about the dorm more often, who are now out quite frequently even for meals (or are we wrong, Holz, Clarmont, Chuck—?). But the new cord seems to work just as well.

We’d like to see the time that Boots stays in the refectory for the duration of a meal without shagging out.

Jordahl, one of our good Norwegian friends, and his brother who was visiting： here were pleasantly surprised on Thanksgiving Day when, about 10:30 A. M., they were invited (over the telephone, of course) to have dinner at the home of one of the coeds. They accepted (as who wouldn’t) and found out after they got there who had called. The hostess was rather disappointed, though, it seems, that Johnny Molstad, another one of those "manga tak for maten” boys, couldn’t come along. # # • _ Was he ever lucky; Steffy, that is. Coming out of class one morning he noticed that he had lost his false teeth (not as bad as it sounds — he has just two removable, artificial teeth).

They dropped out of his pocket, he said (funny place to keep them). But as we were saying, he was lucky, ’cause he found his precious molars a short time later on the lawn chewing grass.

We had quite a storm here just as Thanksgiving vacation was getting under way. Snow and ice stopped practically all buses, and at least one person we know had to stay here because of the weather. But most of them got away, leaving only about seventeen fellows in the dorm that weekend. It seems they all found something to do, though, and there was plenty to eat in the refectory. Jive sessions, phonograph records, egg-fries, etc., helped to break the monotony, and then there were some live wires who had other connections.

An outburst of uproarious laughter Thursday afternoon at one o’clock aroused the curiosity of others, so Stern told them what had amused him so greatly. He had met a little sextaner on his way to the recitation building with a handful of money and asked him where he was going. “Oh, I，m going to the buzzer’s office to pay my board,” he answered in all innocence.

Goetz has suddenly decided to start smoking, since some­ one gave him a cigarette lighter for his birthday.

Hank the Russian is still puzzled over what happened to the bicycle he was riding back from work that day. The streets were slippery, see, and he had a little trouble steering, but he didn’t notice anything out of the ordinary until he got off to push it up the campus sidewalk. The front wheel wasn’t turning. It was locked—frozen to the axle tighter than a drum. The question is, was it that way before he started pedaling, or did it stop turning only after he dismounted.

Ed Greve was drafted as a chauffeur the other night.

Someone made up his mind rather suddenly that he wanted to go to Beaver Dam. Ain’t love expensive?

Several teeth were knocked out of one of the gears in Barenz’s car. He tried to pull away from a stop sign too fast, when all of a sudden: Krrrunch—!!

239

RED Sometime when you find him in a loquacious mood, ask: Tuch why he sleeps on the floor when he’s in Milwaukee over­ night, and whether it isn’t uncomfortable to do that; Brad to imitate Juroff’s laugh; Ted Horneber what association there is between his girl and the Pirates, and whether he has chosen “Wisely;” (now, now, Ted; get a-“Hulda” yourself); Norm (the Ball) what he did to pass the time during Thanks­ giving vacation; Boots, Demmie, and Kaese how they liked the janitor’s party; “Zip” how he likes Utah (not the state); —You may get some interesting answers.

Since the bell in the dorm wasn’t working during vacation, two of the ‘‘left-overs’’ took it upon themselves to wake the others for eight-o’clock bacon-and-eggs breakfast. But to save time and energy, they didn’t make the rounds from room to room; instead, one set off the fire alarm, and the other pounded on the cymbals and yelled his head off. Everyone, strangely enough, woke up. # • • • For some obscure reason a stray cat began serenading the boys of the dorm at one o’clock the other morning. The un­ earthly outbursts of catty static were tolerated for a while, but when they continued for an unbearable length of time, Hueb opened his window and tossed a good light plug at the hapless creature, striking it squarely between the eyes. Then it really started howling. It retreated to a point directly below Schumann’s window, and then he, Stern, and y. t. took action..

Donning a robe, Stern dashed out into the cold with a flashlight and tried to locate the black pussy, while the other two armed themselves for a campaign of liquidation. But the cat smelled a rat and beat it. Black Tom is still at large.

“----- For the common, everyday ‘sick headache,’ use Bayer Aspirin, but for constant, recurring headaches, see your doctor.” 一 When we were . all still catching our breath and sighing with relief after having met the last B. and R. dead­ line, what should come along but a notice on the bulletin board announcing the next deadline on the 29th of November, not even a week after the November issue was printed. These constant, recurring headaches are something that even Aspirins won't help. It's gotto be, says our dear editor, because we close the 14th of December.—That’s as close as we could get to an alibi for these last two excuses for something resembling a C. and C. column; so, you’ll hafta grin and bear it.

ATHLETICS

•

FOR AULD LANG SYNE 40 years ago: The football second team received a neat little writeup for once. It usually goes through the season "with very little notice and no mention, receiving the hardest of knocks.”

30 years ago: The various class teams to participate in intramural barketball were reviewed, but “Of the Faculty team we will say nothing at all on account of our inability to judge our superiors.”

20 years ago: The football season was climaxed by a 12 to 6 defeat at the hands of Milton. “To all appearances Milton was going to pull the short end of this deal.” But____ ! That’s the way it goes.

10 years ago: Milwaukee Engineers outsmarted Northwestern by taking the lid off their bucket with an acetylene torch; consequently the score—51 to 32.

5 years ago: It was hoped that someone would beat the Zell brothers to the billiard table before the year was over.

1 year ago: ; Kelling’s233 was high on the "Faculty Alleys.” (Wait until you find out who has high game this year.)

Basketball practice started on November 26. The turnout wasn’t exactly what the coach had expected, but he seems to have made the best of it, His choice ten men consist of Kaesmeyer, Schlei, Wietzke, Huebner, Kolander, Radtke, Malchow, 241

SIRED Nommensen, Zarling, and Wagner. Wietzke at present still has water on the knee from football. Kolander and Radtke may go out teaching after Christmas. Coach is holding Voss and Press in reserve just in case.

^RED LT. ROBERT A. MITZNER Killed Dec. 24, 1945

I

The end of the war has meant the return home of so many boys. For those whom duty kept overseas a little longer it meant a reawakened anticipation of that return soon. Bob must have had such thoughts in his heart on the day before Christmas, when he crashed in a heavy snowstorm in Germa­ ny. He died wearing the silver wings he had won so proudly and doing the work he loved best — flying that “big bird” of his.

Watertown knew him well, for he spent eight years at St. Mark’s School and took his preparatory work and three years of college at Northwest­ ern. After one semester at the University of Wisconsin he was called into training as a pilot. He received his commission at Pampa, Texas, in March, 1944. He was an in­ structor there until November, when he went overseas. He was stationed in England, France and Germany, and everywhere his love of languages helped him enjoy the people of the country.

Those of us who knew him will remember him always for his sincerity, his humbleness, his quiet enjoyment of sociable good times, and his love of the best in literature and music.

As we wonder why, when it would have been so soon, he wasn’t allowed to come home, we can only say, “Be still and know that I am God.” R. K. 243

I WANTED WINGS

by LE

‘‘What the eye sees, the hand wants to do,” is an old say­ ing. Perhaps a man seeing a bird as it flies and wanting to follow it on its course through the air from tree to tree and hill to hill best illustrates this saying.

The first imitation of a flying bird was that of Daedalus, an Athenian artist, artificer, and architect, who was exiled to Crete, where he built the labyrinth and whence he escaped with his son Icarus by flight on wings attached with wax.

Our beginner’s Latin book told us how Icarus flew too near to the sun, which melted the wax on his wings, and how he fell wingless in the Mediterranean Sea. Thus ended the first flying machine in failure. It is from this myth, we are told, that the idea of the modern airplane originated. To Daedalus we attribute the idea of our modern means of air warfare.

Be that as it may, Darius Greene later came through with his flying machine. As the poem relates, this attempt to fly resulted in a dismal failure.

244

RED Cutting the long story of airplane development short, we now have planes which fly at the terrific speed of over six hun­ dred miles an hour. Indeed this is a marvel.

With this scientific marvel in mind, we say that we have by far surpassed and out-winged the bird. But have we? Is riding in an airplane similar to a bird in its flight? I am in­ clined to disagree.

My story goes like this: It was a usual day during this year’s Christmas vacation. The ground was covered with about eighteen inches of pure,- white snow. Winter had truly spread his shawl of white over all the hills. Frost and snow hung on the twigs and branches of the trees, ridging them almost an inch deep with pearl. Truly this was a good day for skiing.

I strapped my skis on and started down a gently sloping road, a dugway which wound through the woods. As I kept gathering momentum, I gradually felt my blood pressure in­ crease. I wasn’t literally flying, but I knew what a bird must feel like when he flies. At the bottom of the hill was a slight elevation, and as I went up it and through the air for a few feet, I knew that I had flown. I had stood up, and my courage was running high.

Farther down the valley there was a steep hill, a hill about seven hundred feet long, where I had often skied and where my brother and I had built a small ski jump, but where I had never done much that is worth bragging about, except that I broke my arm there one time while tobogganing.

The hill looked inviting, not so steep as it actually was, so I ascended it At the top I stopped and gazed at the wonder­ ful, snow-enshrouded hills. They stood there so majestically and triumphantly. Surely God is in heaven and all is right with the world, I thought.

I adjusted my ski straps, pulling them up tighter. I looked down the hill and thought, “My, but this is steep.” I was afraid, my courage was rapidly diminishing. “Aw, com­ mon, you can do it,’’ I urged myself into believing.

Convinced, I gave my skis a slide and was on my way. Ten, twenty miles an hour, I thought, and I have just got started.

For a distance of thirty feet the hill made a dip which seemed 245

i

iT

RED almost straight down. My heart was beating faster, my head began to pound, I could hardly breathe, I wanted to close my eyes, but that would have been unwise, and, to make matters worse, I knew my skis were going to leave the ground. I crouched and drew myself together to avoid a spill. Just for a split second I was off the ground, and then the good old gravity of the earth drew me to herself again. I must have looked like a jack rabbit, but I was still standing and gaining speed as the bottom of the hill and the dip for the take off seemed to come up to meet me. I took off, making a sort of parabola with the earth; for a whole moment I was dangerously flying through the air with banks of snow around me and a field of snow before me. I crouched in readiness for my landing. During that moment my lungs, heart, and head were filled with clear, cold air. There where no walls to hem in my view, no knobs and buttons to tend. I had flown a whole twenty feet before I came to the solid earth again. I had flown unaided, wingless.

During my moment of soaring, which had seemed much longer, I had felt that bird-like sensation of flying. That dangerous, glorious moment had brought me the ecstacy of flight.

MOTOR TROUBLE fcy

FREDERIC KOSANKE

At first people thought A1 was a funny guy. Not that he behaved differently from anyone else; he was a regular guy. one of the gang, and all that. Why, all you have to do is watch him when our team is bowling. He^s a pretty fair bowler, sure, but he does most for the team by just being Al: cracking jokes and always smiling. You see, our league bowls every Thursday night during the winter, and A1 and I have been rolling ’em together ever since ’30, when I first spied A1 coming up the road into town on that cold fall day.

I suppose it’s because we’ve been working down at the garage together for so long that I got to know and kind of un­ derstand him. You can’t help getting to know a fellow when you work with him in July 100—degree weather on a stubborn motor.

And when the work isn’t any too plentyful and you know that the old crank who owns the car expects it to be in perfect shape or he won’t pay you—well, it makes you feel pretty close. And 246

RED then, when you get it together and the motor purrs, you feel that he and you aren’t bad mechanics after all, and the day outside doesn’t look so hot any more, but that sky is a lot more blue.

A1 and I clicked, you might say, and people liked the work we did. Our town’s small, but there’s business here for any­ body who goes after it. So we moved into a bigger garage and even got a big fan for those real hot days. A lot of wetblankets said we’d never make a go of it when we put in a line of cars, but we showed them and made it a paying business.

Did you notice that little white Colonial on the left side of the road when you came into town? That’s kVs. Nothing- big or showy, but it’s the most comfortable home in town. Lots of people make more money than' we do, but we get a lot more fun out of what we do make. Back in the old days we always used to say that we didn’t care to make a pile, as long as we had enough so we didn’t have to waste half our time worrying.

It took the folks in town a while to get used to Al. They’re the salt of the earth, don’t get me wrong; but Al was just like one from another continent. The folks in this town have lived here for years, and their folks before them; everybody knows everybody else, and half the town is related to him. So when Al dropped into the scene, it was just like a falling star: you never notice it till it starts coming at you and makes you look at it. Al never would talk about where he came from, or why, or about his folks, and after a while people stopped asking questions.

I never asked any questions, and Al likes to talk to me most because of that.

At first even my wife said I was a plain fool to take in a tramp and give him work. I’d just had a nice start in the garage when the crash came and took most of the cars off the road, so that it was hard enough to take care of the wife and little boy. Al came walking west along the highway one day when I felt especially blue. When he saw the garage sign, he stopped and asked if he could do some work for a bite to eat. I saw right away that he was as down-hearted as I was, maybe more so; and I figured that I was lucky after all, with a little 247

RED business and a nice family, so I gave him a job. He was a good worker and knew motors, too. Things picked up, little by litttle, and we’ve done well together.

Every so often A1 would tell me a little more about his past, until I learned most of his history. His father and mother lived on a little farm in Maine, and that’s where A1 was born and raised. It seems that his folks knew a lot about farming; they had to, to get anything to grow in that hilly, rocky land, I guess; but they didn’t know much about raising a boy who loved the land more for its beauty than for the number of bushels an acre it produced and who would rather tinker around with a motor than drive a horse team. They made him work instead of going to school and were hard on him when­ ever they caught him tinkering or dreaming. A1 took it as long as he could, ’till they almost forced him to leave. He bummed his way across the country and ended up here six months after he left home. The fifteen years he’s been here he has done what he liked most: dreamed, fixed motors, gone fishing. He’s gotten to like our town a lot, too; why last year— Well, there he is now, coming in the back door.

“Let’s see, a new gasket, an hour’s work, and seven gallons of gasoline. That’ll be $3.20, sir.

“Thanks. Be sure to drop in again, if you drive thru town!: THE UNIVERSAL PRIESTHOOD OF THE BELIEVERS

by W. STEFFENHAGEN

In Old Testament times priesthood was an institution of God. The laity, because of its iniquity, could not come directly to God with its sacrifices; therefore God established the sons of the tribe of Levi as priests to intercede between God and man, to bring sacrifices to God for the people. Only members of this priesthood could enter the Court of the Priests and the Holy Place of the Tabernacles and Temples. And into the Holy of Holies could go only the high priest, and he only once each year.

There is, however, one exception to this rule of only priests offering sacrifices. The Lord in Exodus 19:6 calls the whole nation of Israel a kingdom of priests. This was brought 248

RED out on one occasion each year. In observing the feast of the Passover each year, each household father was commanded by God to slay a lamb with his own hands and offer it to the Lord in the capacity of a priest.

The idea pervading the entire New Testament is that of a universal priesthood of all believers. St. Peter in applying that passage from Exodus to New Testament believers shows that the distinction between the priesthood as it was in Old Testament times and the laity no longer exists, I Peter 2:9.

Each Christian, through his faith in Christ, is a priest before God the Father. Christ is our Great High Priest.

Through a firm dependence upon the reconciliation obtained for us by Christ we may directly approach the Throne of Grace, offer sacrifices of prayer and praise, and be certain that God will mercifully hear us. Christ has made us all "kings and priests unto God,” Revelation 1:5,6. There is no longer any need for a special group of mediators. All be­ lievers, as priests, can approach the Father through faith in Jesus Christ, our heavenly High Priest.

All Christians now being priests, we have all the blessings which Christ has won for His Church by His blood. We have the means of grace, the Gospel and the Sacraments, for our own use as well as for application to others. Congregations have the office of the keys, the power to forgive and to retain sins, and the use of God’s Word in applying this power. Prayer is a privilege as well as an obligation for us members of the priesthood.

This priesthood of believers, however, does not take the place of the office of the ministry. But it is God’s order that the public functions of the priesthood be discharged by certain men selected and appointed by the congregations. In the home the duties of a priest are carried out by the father (or mother, if there is legitimate reason for it). Under normal conditions the public administration of the means of grace, preaching and administering of the Sacraments, is the work of the minister called by the congregation. On the other hand, the ministry does not abolish the priesthood of the members of the congregation. And as admonished in I John 4:1, they “try the spirits whether they are of God.” This is also their duty as members of the priesthood.

249

I

:

•j

PRED Christians must always be aware of their rights and privileges and also of their obligations as members of the priesthood. They must bring their sacrifices with a cheerful heart, pray with sincerity, and carry out their duties as priests in their every-day life. They must apply the doctrines taught by their pastors for comfort, for admonition, and even for excommunication if necessary. They must work to extend the kingdom of God, not only in their congregation, but every­ where. God is showing us opportunities for this. In this way Christians as members of the universal priesthood will live as Christ wants them to live, will hallow Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name and extend His Praise.

A FTER V-J Day the powers that be decided to get us back to our pre-war schedule as fast as possible, even though the fastest way might not be the smoothest way. Our course was actually completed in December. We are now taking a supple­ mentary quarter, which will last until the twelfth of April.

Because their college course was completed in December, members of the Senior Class were permitted to teach in parochial schools and thus help alleviate the teacher shortage (see details in Alumni Notes). Three of the Seniors who left are members of the Black and Red staff. They are Reuben Stock, Edgar Greve, and Leland Wurster. Since the new staff will take over in March, we have not considered it necessary to fill these vacant positions with new men. The remaining staff members have taken over these duties.

RED Sacred Concert—Entertainment?... the past Christmas season most of us had the DURING opportunity of attending at least one so-called "sacred” concert of Christmas music, and most of these concerts were put on by people who should know what purpose a sacred con­ cert is to serve, but the fact was not always made evident during the concert itself.

Every chorus director and every chorus member should realize that a sacred concert is a service of worship, a service of praise and thanks to God. It differs from a regular church service only in its outward form. Usually there is no liturgy and no sermon, and the assembly does not take an active part in the service, but the purpose'is exactly the same. The chorus should insist that the listeners conduct themselves accordingly.

You would be terribly shocked, I am sure, if you were to hear a congregation applaud the pastor’s sermon or a selection by the choir. You would feel that they were doing something entirely out of place, that they were treating a service of wor­ ship like a program of entertainment. Yet many people do not hesitate loudly to applaud the selections of a sacred concert, simply because they do not realize what they are doing. They do what others are doing without stopping to think about it.

They do not realize that they are lowering a concert of sacred music to the level of common entertainment and that this is certainly a degration of something holy.

There are two ways to remedy this deplorable situation: One way is to have the assembly join the chorus in the singing of a hymn or two and thus to bring them to the realization that a sacred concert is a service of worship. The other way is to let the people know, either by printing it on the program or by means of an announcement before the concert, that sacred selections are not to be applauded.

Let us not desecrate things that are sacred!

RED The following letter was received from Prof. W. F. Weimar, a classmate of Dr. Ott. It should be of great interest to friends ot Northwestern College, especially to those who knew Dr. Ott per­ sonally.

Tieton, Washington December 28, 1945 Dear Prof. Kowalkc, ... After leaving Watertown, I was in constant correspondence with Ott, who kept me posted on current events at college, Now that he has gone to his reward, the last link connecting me with N. W. C. has been broken.

Ott’s career and mine at our institution were so closely linked together that I thought you might be interested to learn about some of the details. We entered college on the same day, September, 1880. We became classmates by a strange coincidence. We gradu­ ated at the same time, 1885, and were called into membership of the faculty at the same time. Then, for eighteen years, wc worked side by side in the service of our synod at N. W. C. First I must tell you how I became interested in college. Louis Thom, student at the seminary, later pastor at Marshfield, came to La Crosse to visit his relatives. These introduced him to our family, and in due time he became engaged to my sister. The family de­ cided that I was to be permitted to attend college, and Louis was instructed to announce my coming to Professor Ernst.

On the day of the opening of the school year iSSo-tSSi Louis .took me to the chapel for the opening exercises. The chapel was then in what we called the New Building (Dormitory) on the ground floor. It was equipped with two immense folding doors.

When these were closed, it converted the chapel into two classrooms.

After chapel exercises Prof. Ernst asked all newcomers to report at his desk if they had not already been properly placed. Loulis_ aclvised me to go forward, while he beat a hasty retreat.

I was the first to be called for examination. I told the profes­ sor that he had the necessary information about me from Louis Thom. To my astonishment he insisted that he had never heard of me. So I told him that I came from La Crosse and showed him my promotion card admitting me into the La Crosse High School.

“Well,” said lie, “this should be sufficient to admit you into the “A” class of the Academic Department.” “But I have had no Latin/* I remonstrated.’’ “Oil, you wish to take the college course, he said, taken aback. He sized me up, then told me I might enter the Quarta class and make up two years of Latin! I had expected to enter as a Sextaner due to my deficiency in Latin and German.

By the way, I was sixteen years old, I wore a blue Prince Albert coat and a stiff hat and was physically well developed for my age.

258

RED Later on Tim. Sauer confided to me that he took me for a traveling salesman when he first saw me.

The next to be called forward was a lank young man evidently somewhat older than I was (20 years old). He introduced himself as J. Henry Ott. “Oh，I have received your letters, and we have placed you into the Sexta class,” said Prof. Ernst. “I think I can <lo as well as my predecessor,” lie replied, glancing in my direction.

"Well, that might work out very well,” admitted Prof. Ernst. “I will get you a tutor to coach you in Latin until you are ready to join the regular class.”

The third candidate was a redhead, Carl Faber. He had at­ tended Ripon College one year, where he had had Greek but no Latin. Naturally he became the third member of beginners in Latin preparing1 for the Quarta class.

Dr. F.rnst always delighted in telling about Ott’s letters. The first came from St. Louis，the second from Denver, and the third iroin Leadville, Colorado. He wondered where the next would come from.

John Jenny, a Senior, was appointed as our instructor in Latin.

He coached us six times a week during the first term. After the Christmas liolidavs we were supposed to have caught up with the class, and Jennv was relieved. Prof. Ernst had singled out the class of 1885 as a model. He took our Latin and German from Sexta on.

Ott and I always considered ourselves fortunate in being admitted into it, although, I must admit, it was quite a task to do three years of Latin in one.

Ott and I were dose friends. From 1880 to 1903 we were in almost daily contact, and I do not recall that we were ever at odds or had any altercations. Naturally, it is superfluous for me to dwell on Ott’s merits as teacher and librarian. Deeds speak louder than words.

If you are interested, I would like to tell you about happenings during' our student years and, later on, occurrences that profoundly affected relations between seniors and lower classes and relations between students and faculty.

Hoping that our Alma Mater is flourishing and progressing, I remain, Sincerely yours, W. F. Weimar.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT A memorial wreath of $16.20 in tribute to Dr. J. H. Ott has been presented to the Library by the student body. The students are to be assured of our grateful appreciation.

0 WHY Do I .Have to write Such tripe As this Always iss?

Send your answer in twenty-five words or less to “Oestreich” Albrecht. A debt of gratitude will be owed the winner. In case of prizes, duplicate ties will be awarded, just as in the contest between the “A” division Greek class and the Sophomores.

The financial status of most of the fellows has arrived at a point exactly on or even slightly below the “no funds” mark.

Part-time jobs are even more scarce than the proverbial hen’s teeth, it seems, and this accounts for the limp wallets and purses being carried around by those formerly prosperous. Therefore many must needs watch their budgets very closely. Some even get so tightfisted that they won’t even take a shower because they soak, you too much. And so they resort to borrowing.

This is noticeable in one well cultivated field especially, namely that of cigarette "bumming.” Many a smoker is sore from having been “hit” so often. That alone would almost drive one to quit the habit.. But sometimes a “touch” can be staved off like this : Question, “Have you got a fag?”一Answer, “Sure, lots of them, thanks;’’ or like this: “I’m looking for someone who would lend me a cigarette.”一Ans., “Well, you picked a nice day for it.” It’s all right while it works.

In Hebrew class the other day the Juniors were learning some new rules. In answer to the prof” who had asked Ruprecht, “Are you sure of the inflection?’’，“Black Boy” said, 260

RED "To be perfectly frank with you, professor, I’m not even sure of myself.” It drew quite a laugh (in Hebrew dialect) from the class.

Incidentally, while we’re in the classroom, in case you’ve been wondering about the aforementioned contest between the Sophs and the “A” division scholars, let me elucidate. During this "no man’s quarter’’ between the end of one school year and the beginning of another, we thought it would be a good idea to have a Greek grammar review, and so did Prof. Blume, for some reason or other. So we’re getting the asked-for review— a quiz a day—and the Sophs are getting the same quizzes a day later. So tfiere’s your contest. The score as we go into the last quarter: Sophs 87, “A” Division 77 (or thereabouts). Nice goin’，you under the Hollender regime.

That’s quite an interesting nickname Keepman has for one of the instructors up here. Ask any Frosh about it if you haven’t heard.

Well, the Senior class has dwindled to a mere half dozen members, now that several have gone out teaching. The last one to leave was “Goetz” Wurster, who accepted a call to Stevensville, Michigan. He has promised to send back an article on his first impressions of that state. This should prove interesting and will perhaps rekindle the age-old argument about which is the best state in the union, Michigan or Minne­ sota (Wisconsin being out of the running). The day before he left he visited the original of the photograph on his desk and pleaded with y. t. not to mention several things, especially not in the C. and C. So what can a man do? A promise is a promise, but boy, what we could tell! (Don’t worry, Goetz).

Casual observation: “It takes a music crank to play a hand organ.” 、 Where did a certain person, who has asked to be allowed to remain nameless, ever get those juicy tidbits of euphemistic, flowery, high-sounding language that he was reading in the office the other night? He was seen drawing sheets of folded, blue stationary from envelopes to match. Then, bursting into fits of uncontrollable laughter, and motioning to the others in the room to gather ’round, he finally managed to control his

RED emotions enough so that he w3.s able to read what was pleasing him so immensely. It was dramatic the way he read it,—**peering into the microscope of good judgment, you compared me with ，“，and I lost—.” Sounds interesting—want to hear a woman more? Maybe he will oblige by reading on. (He is a Junior from Michigan, the one who studies psychology).

The Seniors and Juniors spent an evening not so long ago with two salesmen from a company that makes class rings.

After an interesting question and answer period, the Seniors decided on one style and the Juniors on another, both very handsome (the styles, that is). Delivery for the Seniors will be sometime in April, and for the Juniors as soon as they return from summer vacation.

And just by the way, the Seniors are now mere guests up here, the Juniors have Senior privileges, and the Sophomores, with Junior rights, have taken over as “dorm police.” But since the Frosh have not as yet completed one full school year of nine months, as have the upper three classes, they are still just plain Frosh. i Now let’s go ’way back into 1945 and refresh our memories with happenings the week before Christmas vacation. Remem­ ber that last week? One morning, from 6:30 to 7:00, the male chorus sang in the second floor square, once it was the Octette, and then on Friday the Pep Band let go with everything they had. That organization is really an accomplished group of musicians, to say the least. Everyone who hasn’t heard them has missed something. They can really “get hot” when the occasion calls for it. They even played in the refectory during breakfast one morning. You should have seen how the “kitchies” enjoyed it. This was probably a precedent-setting event, because judging by the reaction, it will occur again this year.

Who was the misinformed Jason who said that some classes in college are like dreams—you have to go to sleep to enjoy them? Not “Matz,” was it? '‘‘Ssshhh, you fiend! It’s horrible! Ssshhh, keep it quiet!

Not so loud!”一Any dorm resident could spot these phrases.

Poor Jack just doesn’t like noise, looks as if.

4'Ha, caught you red-handed!” said the Junior when he saw a prep smoking.

“That’s blood, I just cut my hand,” said the culprit, trying to get out of it. (Not really, of course).

i.:;! ：•!

The Northwestern College Male Chorus is planning： a concert tour of Michigan during the coming Easter vacation.

If we will be able to charter a bus it will be quite an experience for the whole chorus, most of whose members have never be­ fore been on such a tour.

You have perhaps often wondered As you read each new edition, Why the guy who writes this column Always has so much ambition.

He has written verse and stanzas In each issue of this volume; But ambition’s not the reason For this poem-enriched column.

Anything with rhyme or meter He’ll submit with this in mind: The more of that stuff that’s printed, The less scandal need he find.

In other words, its more practical and time-saving to fill in space with short-lined bits of would-be lyrics that to rack one’s brain for school scandal, even though the subscribers are put to a severe test of mental endurance thereby. See what we mean? And as 5’2” “Zip” Sauer is supposed to have said when asked how he could stand up under the strenuous life he leads: “A little bit goes a long way!”

And here’s where we make our getaway. Deadline, you don’t scare us now!

FOR AULD LANG SYNE 1906

The only allusion to sports is an editorial which propounded a plea for a longer skating season. It seems that Watcrtowi had a dearth of skaters, and hence only the college skating- enlliusiasts shoveled the snow off the ice. (How is it today?)

1916

Twenty-four intramural basketball games were scheduled. The students still maintained a military company. Students of the col­ lege were permitted to bowl on the college alleys, provided they were accompanied by a faculty member. On Tuesdays and Fridays a dull rumbling noise was perceived in the gym, which led the hearers to believe that someone was 111dulging in the art of bowling. Then again, a basketball here and there was seen flying past one of the windows. It seems that the sports editor safely assumed that the girls were having gym. (Well, yes, well again! By the way, what are the girls doing along those lines now besides helping to spark up our basketball team?)

Malchow was the sparkplug of the Northwestern offensive, getting seven field goals and two free throws for 16 points. Molting, a former Northwestern star, rolled up 20 points for the visitors.

Whitewater 39

Northwestern 44

This game had little semblance of a contest in the opening minutes. Northwestern went ahead, 6-2, in the first few minutes, ihen fell steadily farther behind as the peds got their offensive func­ tioning. Slim, dead-eyed Jones, forward, kept the invaders safely in the lead through much of the game with his firing from all angles of the court.

Whitewater went into a 17-10 lead midway in the half and was out in front at the intermission, 23 to 17. The collegians began to close the gap midway in the final frame when Kaesmeyer, VVietzke, and Nommensen chalked up several goals apiece. With the score 37-35, Whitewater, Wietzke sank a bucket to knot it up, and Nommensen added another to put Northwestern in the lead.

Sczbecki sank a goal to knot it again, but Nommensen’s rebound put the Watertown team ahead once more, and Wietzke insured the vic­ tory with a bucket and a gift shot.

Only woeful luck on its shots kept Northwestern from making the game an easy victory. The collegians’ fast break worked to perfection, but pot shots were rimmed time and again. Nommensen and Jones had 13 points to tie for scoring honors.

^RED CALIFORNIA AND BUST

by BOB SCHUMANN

There comes the time in every student’s life when be has the desire to get away from Watertown as far as possible.

Probably it’s the wanderlust. Some leave in a hurry, some more slowly, and a few have no choice in the matter. Each has his own special reason, or someone else has a reason for it.

Phil* and I had the desire to leave. We had our reasons too.

The second of our two summer courses was over: we needed a change badly; and, — report cards were being sent out. The war had changed many things. Although there were paper shortages and pen shortages, that important little messenger, the report card, always came through. We feared a shortage in "standings.” Knowing that discretion is the better part of valor, we decided to take the “Wanderstab.”

Having long entertained the idea of seeing the West, we selected California as our goal. The summer session left us in no condition financially to travel in comfort, so we decided to hitch-hike. The following is an account of the events or “mis”events as we experienced them: Starting out from the Gateway city, La Crosse on the map, on the morning of Labor Day, September 3,1945, we experienced the first of a few fortunate occurrences. The day was bright; the sun was shining as it can shine only in Wisconsin. Not that it wasn’t to shine again, but the shine gets shinier the farther west one goes, so that in curing the inevitable thirsts one acquires in the Western deserts, one almost gets a shine on one’s self.

Our trip began on Highway 61. Our first ride took us to St. Paul, along the shore of Old Man River. Can the Hudson or the Rhine offer more beautiful scenery? The inevitable report card with its bothersome hieroglyphs was soon forgotten.

Fifteen minutes after getting to St. Paul we were well on our way out of that city, on the road to Wadena, Minnesota. In leav­ ing St. Paul we had transferred to Highway 10, whichwas to take us all the way to the coast. Out of Wadena we caught succes­ sive rides to Detroit Lakes, Fargo, and finally to Jamestown, a total of five-hundred miles the first day. We had planned on •Philip Press

271

RED sleeping in hotels on the way out, and a Jamestown hotel was the first. We picked this hotel only after inquiring of a cab driver which hotel was the highest priced. We then chose the other.

The next morning we were out on the road at seven o’clock.

Our first ride was in a four-wheeled moving object not to be found in recent automobile advertisements. There were chickens in the trunk, crates on the floor, straw on the crates, and we were on the straw. Crawling out at the end of the ride, we could gaze for miles over the North Dakota flats. There wasn’t a tree or a house in sight,—or a car. We took a few snapshots of each other leaning against a highway signpost and waited.

Finally something appeared on the horizon. Fifteen minutes proved it to be a car; ten minutes more brought it up to us; one second to jump in and we were off again; anything to get out of that place. We soon came to the village of Medina, where etiquette demanded that we pay our respects to a former tutor.

Having dropped our cards at Medina, we continued to Bismarck and quickly crossed the muddy Missouri River. At Mandan we changed to Mountain Standard Time and finally came to New Salem. In this part of our journey we were twice offered jobs by farmers, but it took us just about a second or two to deliber­ ate and move on. At New Salem we were picked up by a bus driver ferrying a new bus from Lima, Ohio, to Glendive, Mon.tana. We would finally leave the seemingly endless state of North Dakota in a ride that would consume most of the after­ noon. We stopped for a few interesting but thirsty moments at the Badlands. The only liquid we saw in that region was on a Cola Cola sign. This ride was perhaps our most comfortable one. We could stretch out with heads on one seat and feet and legs across the aisle on the opposite seat. It would have been a perfect way to see the West, although at times the jolts and jars always encountered on busses made us think that the driver was taking a short cut across the prairie. Glendive was one of hottest places we could hope for, but we knew that we were back in civilization by the fact that malted-milks and other malt beverages were once more on sale.

We continued from Glendive that afternoon and made it to Terry, Montana, by nightfall, to total three-hundred and fifty miles the second day.

RED Now we had thought we’d never see the end of North Dakota, but that stretch was as nothing compared to the two and one-half days it took us to get through Montana. Whereas North Dakota had wheat to cover its flat-as-a-pancake pate, eastern Montana had nothing but alkali, sagebrush, dirt, dust, buttes, and bumps. Two and one-half days to pass through Miles City, Billings, Butte, Red Lodge, and Missoula besides many dead’rn door-nail collections of four walls and an eaves-spout! Just before Billings we first sighted the Rockies, and once in the mountains the driving was less monotonous.

We were now about fifty miles from Yellowstone Park and could enjoy a little of its beauty by looking at the mountains we were passing through. The road also followed the Yellow­ stone River for quite a distance, and the valley of this river re­ minded us of Wisconsin. Here was water! Four days had now passed, and we were over the Continental Divide, well on our way to the coast and well on our way toward being “broke.”

Things had reached the state where we had to hitch-hike a hundred miles before breakfast, which had to serve as our dinner also.

The fifth and sixth days on the road were as one. We caught the first ride at about eight in the morning. We con­ tinued to ride and to hike for the next thirty-eight hours with­ out benefit of sleeping in a bed. The first ride was from Missoula, Montana, a busy little city in the heart of the Rockies of that state. After two short rides we were picked up by a car bound for Spokane, Washington. That afternoon we crossed the northern part of the state of Idaho. This section of Idaho, contrary to our expectations, was beautiful country, bein? very rocky and covered with heavy growths of timber.

We hesitated to leave this beautiful area, ideal for vacation.

Upon skirting the great Coeur d’ Alene Lake, we passed through the national forest of the same name. Late in the after­ noon we arrived in Spokane. As we hoped to reach the next town, we accepted two short rides to the outskirts of the city.

Along came a pick-up truck. It offered us more than we could anticipate. The truck was Tacoma-bound, a trip all the way across the state of Washington, through the city of Seattle, and on down to Tacoma.

Now snow is wonderful in winter when you expect it, and when it doesn’t come together with a healthy mountain breeze.

It is another matter, however, when traveling at fifty-five miles an hour in an open truck and in summer suits, and it made us wonder who let Washington cross the Delaware and come into the Union.

We arrived in Tacoma at twelve-thirty at night. The snow had turned to rain. Our object now was to catch a ride to downtown Tacoma before passing out. We thumbed the only car in sight. It stopped and we climbed in. The driver was a dyed-in-the-wool western rancher. It was very apparent that he was more used to the wide-open spaces where the men are men and space and distance have no meaning. He and his wife were headed north toward Seattle. We soon discovered that his intentions were southbound and that this was the second time that night that he was lost. Once before, about fifteen miles out of Seattle, he had stopped, turned around and shoved a stalled car full of negroes. He had forgotten to turn around again and went all the way back to Seattle, from where he had to start all over. When he picked us up, he was again headed toward Seattle. Anyway he wanted to go to Portland, Oregon, and as we did too, we went along. The next morning we crossed the Columbia River and a few minutes later pulled into Portland. We walked across a giant bridge over the Willamette River. Below, we saw an aircraft carrier and a battleship. We kept on hiking that day and passed through Oregon City, Salem, the capital, and finally pulled up at Med­ ford. This stretch of our trip was full of great tracts of virgin timber with trees the size of which we had never seen before.

There were also large sections of land which had been swept by fires many years ago. Dismal forests of blackened stumps remained.

Since our last sleep in bed we had travelled nine-hundred and ninety-seven miles. In Medford we could not find a hotel room. Finally one hotel offered what is known as a dormitory room. That sound alone was enough to scare us. We accepted, however. That night we slept with about twenty cowboys and lumberjacks. The cowboys were connected with a rodeo. It seemed as though everyone had a bottle of some sort about 274

him. As for the lumberjacks, from the sound of things, they kept on sawing wood and felling trees all through the night.

The next day was Sunday. We had now been on the road for six days. Being pretty tired, we took the day off and went to the neighboring town of Ashland. We put up in a hotel where the kind lady behind the desk told us she could see we needed a room "with bath.” Now we knew what is meant by Western hospitality. We took the room and having little else to do took the bath also. When we were through, that shower room had the sun tan we thought we had gotten in North Da­ kota and Montana. The floor had a patriotic and much-colored coat made up of the soil of seven different states. It was a topographical map in low relief. We then took in a movie. It was a western picture, a first-class horse opera, with continuous fireworks. Smoking and chewing were allowed in the rear half of the theatre.* The show and the audience were a perfect match.

By Monday we felt better and were ready to try for San Francisco. Again a few short rides and then a strike, a ride all the way through to San Francisco. On the way we were treated to a big steak dinner by the observing and sympathetic driver. That night we crossed the Oakland Bay bridge, eight and one-quarter miles long. This is the world’s largest bridge.

It is double-decked. On the upper deck there are six lanes for automobil6 traffic, while on the lower deck there are lanes for trucks and electric cars of the interurban system. The bridge was lit up in orange lights and proved to be quite a sight. It is a toll bridge.

That night we lodged about a quarter of a block from Market Street in downtown San Francisco. Being able to count our money on our ten fingers we decided to head home the next day. Before retiring that night, however, we took a look at San Francisco. One thing that attracted us and of which we partook was a foot-long hot-dog. It was quantity and not quality which now caught our eyes. Our condition made us look for the “mostest for the leastest.”

The following day at about nine o’clock we checked out of the hotel and after one ride on the wrong road we got our •In Bowdle all the theatre patrons also eat Russian peanuts. Ed.

RED directions straight and caught another back over the Bay Bridge. Since it was now daytime, we could see what was going on below us. There were about thirty to forty transports and warships riding in the water below.

Once over the bridge we started hiking again. Four rides took us through Oakland and Vallejo. The third was perhaps the most noteworthy. We saw this truck coming a couple of blocks away and thumbed it. It had an open front, no doors, no roof, and a big burly negro sat behind the steering wheel.

After about five seconds of driving and after the wind had caught up to us, we discovered why the truck was open in front and how San Francisco gets rid of its garbage. At Vallejo an Oakland restaurant owner picked us up. He was headed for Reno to buy a nightclub, in preparation for which he was taking along twelve thousand dollars as down-payment. He showed us part of this wad. He then stuffed it back into his pocket, and we stuffed our eyes back into their sockets. Since he hadn’t slept for four days, he dozed off and left the driving to us. He awoke about four times during the afternoon; once to treat us to a steak dinner, the second time to let us quench our thirst at a clear, ice-cold mountain spring, a third time to quench his own thirst elsewhere. The fourth time he decided he wanted to take a swim beside the highway or at least bathe his feet in one of the many little streams we were passing. We quickly dissuaded him from doing this, however. He had his own special spring-water, “aqua pura，” in a bottle beside him, from which he would take a nip now and then. We finally arrived in Reno, Nevada, where we had to leave him.

Wishing to see as much of Reno as we could, we decided to stay over. We obtained a room in a Y. M. C. A. building.

That night we again went to a movie. Upon coming out we found night life to be just beginning. The gambling halls were quickly filling up. We strolled past the famous “Harold’s Club” and took in another of lesser fame but none-the-less filled to overflowing. The particular hall we visited was filled with long gambling tables, and each one was surrounded by people two or three deep. The wall was covered with one continuous mural depicting the history of the West. Below this was an endless row of slot-machines, most of which were being exercised with 276

rhythmic regularity. Being cramped from so much driving, I took my calisthenics on them too with a couple of my surviving coins. The whole thing looked like a long production line in a factory, everyone busy in his own work but seldom turning out anything. As for trying out the dice tables, our ‘‘bones’’ were rolling enough from the diet we were on.

The next morning early we again strolled through the town. The gambling halls were just being cleaned up, indi­ cating the late hour of the night to which they must have re­ mained open. Our first ride this day took us to Sparks, Neva­ da, which provides railway connections for the nearby city of Reno. That afternoon found us in Lovelock, Nevada, in the middle of the desert. Evening and night came and we were still in Lovelock. This was the worst hiking we had met on the whole trip. The next morning we counted and recounted our pennies with the result that we telegraphed home for bus fare for the rest of the way. We sent the telegrams, collect of course, and in a few hours had our money. This proved to be the least of our troubles. The worst was to come. We could not find room on any of the busses. It seemed as though the whole West Coast was moving east at the same time. All that day we met the incoming busses and the same story, ' * Sorry, no room!” Late the next morning our luck changed when a bus driver, observing the bags in our hands and the bags under our eyes, permitted us to sit in the aisle of his bus. Now under way, our next stop was at Salt Lake City. Here we arrived at midnight. In the Mormon City we had to transfer busses.

This meant a wait of eight hours. We spent part of this time in walking the main streets of the city, an old custom with us by this time. We passed a statue of Brigham Young in the center of the city and also walked around the Mormon grounds, closed at that late hour. We looked in at the temple and the tabernacle, beautiful in colored lights. The tabernacle could be visited at certain hours; the temple is never open to 4 for­ eigners.1 J The remainder of the night we spent sleeping in the bus station.

The next morning we were again on our way. We were now on Highway 30, which took us up into the state of Wyoming. The bus frequently made stops to allow everyone 277

RED time for meals or to stretch. There was a certain group on the bus which seemed never to have the need to eat or to stretch.

They used this time for playing the slot machines. It was a con­ tinual racing out to see who could get rid of the most nickles in the least time. These people were usually the last ones to get back on the bus, waiting until the last moment before leaving their favorite pastime. That afternoon we arrived in Cheyenne, Wyoming. Strolling into the most prosperous and busiest looking establishment, we tried to by candy bars but were promptly informed that the place was a ‘‘shaloon’’ and that the only bar in the place was not for sale. We drove all Satur­ day night and by Sunday were going through Nebraska. Early Sunday night we arrived in Omaha. Here our ways parted.

Phil took a bus to Chicago and thence to his home in Michigan, where he arrived on Tuesday. I continued to Minneapolis with empty stomach and empty pockets. I again had to hitch-hike.

Each of us spent Monday on his own separate way. We arrived home within a few hours of each other. Our trip covered over five thousand miles, of which three thousand and three hundred were by means of our thumbs. We had a total of sixty-six rides; we were gone fifteen days; we lost thirty pounds be­ tween us.

So on September 17, the fifteenth day after leaving La Crosse, we were again home from the Range, where the grass is not green, the water is not plenty, and the skies are not cloudy all day.

RED SAINT VALENTINE

by ROBERT DOMMER

In commemoration of at least seven dead Valentines, some of whom were saints, we celebrate February the fourteenth.

The world’s most important Valentine was born in the second century after Christ and was decapitated by Claudius some time later. He was a saint. One historian has it that he was a philanthropic, benevolent old soul, who went around doing good deeds — putting baskets full of goodies on the needy people’s doorsteps.. Consequently, we have the present day Valentine celebration, where people give silly and absurd cards to each other and wish them as much “love” as they can possibly muster up! More sane, but equally as uncertain, is the conjecture that this day came from the Roman Lupercalia. Briefly, the Lupercalia was a Fertility Festival in which, after some sacri­ fices were made, two boys dressed themselves in skins and went about trying to touch as many people as possible, especially women, to prevent sterility.

We are certain that the observance of Valentine’s Day is an old, old custom, since references are made to it in English literature as far back as Chaucer. The English lads and lasses would meet on St. Valentine’s Eve, each equipped with a gift.

Their names were mixed in some sort of lottery and pairs were drawn. Each was then required to keep his Valentine choice as his own for a year, satisfied or otherwise. Later, as the world became more courteous, the lasses were no longer obliged to bring gifts.

Today ‘‘mama and papa’’ no longer celebrate Valentine’s Day — sensible creatures —if s all up to the kiddies and lovers now. This celebration is kept by the sending of cards with foolish texts and, in the case of badly-smitten lovers, even heartshaped boxes of candy. So for all you ‘‘kiddie- and lover readers/* I have cooked up a **doozer. ，，氺 If you’re feeling ill at ease And are rather hard to please Think of me, my Buttercup, Valentine, just pucker up!

RED .

A VALENTINE WISH Would that the world were smaller, Or yet that I could fly As swift as Hermes, impish Telltale of gods on high.

Would that I had the power To be both there and here, Or that I would be able To compass this old sphere With messages so gay And happy—just for you— To say it’s you I love And hope you love me too.

But vain is vain, and this is As vain as vain can be, So I have nothing else, As far as I can see, To do, except to send, In these poor words of mine, My love for you, and hope You’ll be my Valentine!

i CANNIBAL PACKER*

by BILL

“It is the decree of this court that you, Alfred Packer, having been found guilty of murdering your five companions and committing cannabalism, be hanged by the neck till dead.”

These words spoken by the Hinsdale County judge seemed as if they would seal the fate of Alfred Packer and conclude one . of the most bestial and mystifying sagas in the early history of Colorado. The fate of Packer, however, was not thus, for his appeal for a new trial was granted, and after two years he was sentenced to forty years imprisonment by a state court. He died, however, before he had completed half his term.

It was the fall of 1873. Colorado’s western slope was be­ ginning to feel the influx of miners, prospectors, and cattle•This story is not a legend or fantasy created by some dreary mind. It is the truth and can bo supported by known facts. The place, names, and dates are not fictional.

280

RED men. The rich natural resources were being tapped, and the news of the inevitable bonanzas of gold and silver waiting to be uncovered by the prospector’s pick or pan spread rapidly. In Salt Lake City a group of miners, around twenty, had as­ sembled to head for Colorado. Everything- was prepared; only one thing was lacking, a guide. A guide in those days was as valuable as a good horse. It was well-nigh impossible to traverse the deserts of Utah and the mountains of Colorado without the aid of someone who had already made the journey.

A guide was found after a lengthy search, the only one that could be persuaded to make the journey. He was a man of disreputable character and was always in some sort of trouble with the law. The miners had no alternative, it was either the guide, Packer, or no journey, and so Packer was hired.

The journey from Salt Lake City to the border of Colorado was uneventful, except for a little trouble with some renegade bands of Ute Indians. When they had advanced into Colorado some seventy-five miles, they headed south, led by some friendly Ute Indians sent by Chief Ouray. The Ute Indians were on the whole a peaceful tribe, except for the renegade bands mentioned before. Chief Ouray was a kind, sagacious chieftain.

He was loved and obeyed by most of the Ute nation. These miners were only too happy to have these Indians accompany them and were taken to Chief Ouray’s headquarters in the west-central part of the state in the Uncompaghre River Valley.

It was now the winter of 1873-74. It was a winter of especially heavy snowfall, and the passes in the mountains were reported blocked. The miners were advised by Chief Ouray to spend the remainder of the winter at his camp and be his guests. Their destination was another 150 miles east to Fort Cochetopa. Lying between them and the Fort were two formidable mountain ranges now heavily blanketed with snow.

All were agreed to remain with Ouray until spring, all but Packer. He argued until he persuaded five of the company to accompany him. Ouray advised them not to go, but, if they did, to follow the Gunnison River, which cut through the mountains and would afford them a visible landmark. Packer was not the type to be told what to do. He had another plan.

He claimed to know a short-cut through the mountains and 281

RED finally persuaded his five companions to take it, instead of the proposed route. The remainder of the party bade them good­ bye, saying that they would meet them at Fort Cochetopa the next spring.

No one will ever know exactly what happened during the next two months. Only one man ever did know, and the mystery of this mountain episode lies hidden in his grave, never to be revealed. From the bits of evidence that have been gathered—his own confessions (either true or false), the bodies of the victims, and certain of their personal belongings— this ghastly tale has been unfurled: Packer and his companians headed for Fort Cochetopa over some of the ruggedest mountains of west-central Colorado.

They were loaded with food and camping equipment, trudging through the deep snow on their improvised snowshoes. They had made perhaps fifty miles of their journey when a raging mountain blizzard overtook them. By chance they stumbled upon an abandoned miner’s cabin high up in the San Juan Mountains near the Continental Divide. Two, three, four days passed, and the blizzard roared on. Their food supply was not yet in danger, but the supply of wood for the fireplace was nearly exhausted. At the next sign of the storm’s abatement they decided that two should go in quest of timber.

During the lonely hours that he had spent in the cabin Packer’s brain had conceived what he believed to be the perfect crime, which turned out to be one of the weirdest and most in­ human murders on record. Perhaps this was Packer’s reason for taking a short-cut that only he knew. Packer was money mad, he gambled excessively and was known for his shady dealings. Here was his opportunity to acquire new riches, for each man carried his entire wealth with him.

The fifth day the storm abated somewhat, and Packer and one of his companions started out. To their good fortune, they found an axe in the cabin, and Packer, carrying it, followed close behind his companion. After a hundred yards the cabin had been blotted out by the snow. Now was the time. Packer raised the axe, and with a swift and silent stroke it descended upon his companion, who crumpled dead in the snow. He took his valuables and money and shoved the body into a snow bank.

An hour or so later Packer entered the cabin alone. He told 282

5

RED his other four companions that they had been separated in the blizzard and no doubt their companion was lost. The next day Packer and another of the four went out for wood. He re­ peated his murder exactly as the first. The seventh day again Packer and one of the three remaining went out for wood.

Packer again murdered his companion. He gave the same explanation for the disappearance of each one. Now there were only two left besides Packer. They were beginning to suspect him of murder, but they had no proof. Their only hope of rescue lay with Packer, yet their nights and days were spent in terror and agonized frenzy for fear he would murder them also. If they would attempt to escape, they would become hopelessly lost and perish in the blizzard. The only thing they could do was to wait and see.

They had been snowbound for over a week. Their food supply was still holding out, as there were only three left to consume it.1 Their fuel was again getting low, so Packer and one of the two went out in search for dead timber. Packer with his axe again murdered his companion and then robbed him. The last one of the five, whose name was Bell, was now convinced that his friends had been murdered. He watched every motion of Packer; he was always sure never to turn his back on Packer. That night neither of them slept. It was a night filled with terror. The next morning Packer again pro­ posed a search for wood. Bell assented. They started out single file, Packer in the rear. Bell however was on the alert.

He caught the upward swing of the axe in the corner of his eye. He stepped quickly to the side, and the axe sailed by and buried itself in the snow. Down went Packer with Bell on top of him. This was a savage battle, a battle of death. No quarter was given by either. Here with only the lonely pines, Lake San Christoval, and the surrounding crags as witnesses, human fought human with bestial savagery for self-preserva­ tion. They tumbled and rolled in the snow, then stood facing each other, panting and glaring. Concealed inside Packer’s boot was a hunting knife. As they were struggling, Packer drew his knife and with a swift motion plunged it into Bell.

The fight was over. Packer had fulfilled his fiendish scheme.

All five of his companions lay dead. It was not enough that he 283

RED killed them, he also cut off portions of their bodies and ate of them, as was verified by the condition of the corpses later found by searching parties. How long he remained here or where he stayed until he was seen in the town of Saguache some weeks later is not certain.

Spring had now come, and the remainder of the party, which had started from Salt Lake City, continued their journey to Fort Cochetopa. They arrived several weeks later and in­ quired after their companions who had started out two months before. There was no news of them except that Packer had been seen gambling and drinking in Saguache, some fifty miles southeast of Fort Cochetopa, and that he had plenty money on him. Packer was questioned and brought to the Fort, where the military governor of that section lived. They had no circum­ stantial evidence against him, and he could not be held for a court trial for murder. He had ridded himself of his com­ panions’ personal belongings and all other incriminating evi­ dence. Packer quickly disappeared. The authorities searched diligently for clues. The bodies were found. Articles which Packer had sold were identified. A summons for Packer was sent out. Nearly ten years later, in 1883, he was captured in Wyoming and brought back to Lake City for trial. Lake City is located some two miles from where Packer committed his crimes.

Today a memorial has been set up where these five men were murdered and today lie buried. Inscribed on the memorial are the names of Packer’s victims — Bell, Miller, Noon, Humphry, Swan—with an explanation of the events.

The graves of Packer，s victims lie in a foreground on the eastern shore of Lake San Christoval，a beautiful sheet of water two miles from Lake City, Jive-hundred feel deep. In that vale of gloom they are sleeping today, shaded by a grove of immense pines and spruces that lift their dark green heads high above the surrounding forest. Reposing in unbroken solitude, surrounded by a colonnade of crags and peaks, theirs is a worthy sepulchre that lies mirrored forevei' on the lake’s placid bosom. Nature1 s voice is the requiem for them, echoing and reverberating from the landscape and lake. *

Here’s a hit at birth!

Why’d you quit? It’s worth Your time— This rhyme.

Why does this poety have such an effect on John Q. Public?

It’s unconventional, Yet precedential, Humorous and silly, Written willy-nilly.

It tickles all our funny bones, And each and every honey moans In delight At the plight Of the poet, who, because he’s up a stump, must continue on and on to try, until finally, when he’s exhausted, he must use an ending that is trite. Right?

WONDERFUL LAND bij LK WURSTER

‘‘In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.”

In this earth He also included Minnesota. Wisconsin, and Michi­ gan. Some of His followers, lovers of Christian freedom, namely, Lutherans, emigrated from Germany to these states.

Why did so many of German extraction settle in these states?

They chose them because they were so familiar to their home­ land. 1’hey did not say that one state was superior to another; rather they were interested in settling down to earning a liveli­ hood and in worshipping their God in peace.

As a fellow crosses the Michigan State Line, coming from Indiana on Highway U. S. 16, he isn’t aware of any change in atmosphere and scenery. He is tired from his long ride, he looks melancholiously out of the window of the bus at the flat, sandy land along the road. It is as suggestive of gloom and melancholy as his mood is.

Soon his bus has planted him at his destination, a small village in Berrien County. Being carious, he soon learns that Berrien County is the heart of the fruit-growing section of Michigan. He is reminded of the impressive fact that he is in a small, dull, drab-appearing place. He is told that he should wait until spring, because then it will be “Blossom Time” and he will then be in the most beautiful spot in Michigan. Truly he has something to look forward to.

The next day he goes on a hike along the banks of ex­ pansive Lake Michigan. He visits the picturesque Grande Mere Beach, which is half a mile from Stevensville. He climbs

RED up many of the enormous sand dunes which are in the lake region and slides down them. He sees growths of evergreen trees which remind him of Wisconsin. All this is along the great Lake Michigan, and again his memories of Wisconsin are awakened as he notices some small inland lakes. He soon learns that they are fine for ice skating.

Then he walks out to Lake Michigan and on to ice cakes and frozen piles of ice which have been formed by the tide, waves, and breakers which beat the shore. He enjoys the spray of the water on his face as a huge wave breaks along the shore.

But, he has work to do, and after a week of teaching he is quite humble. He is in dire need of relaxation. Already he has learned that Berrien County is basketball conscious. He decides to see Benton Harbor High School play Muskegon. Benton Harbor has been rated as the best Class A team in the state.

Before the evening is far spent, the flashy Harbor cagers have proved that they deserve this rating.

This fellow is also soon aware of the fact that he is living in a resort area. The resorts are naturally all closed, but in a few months there will be a lot of added life and activity in the community.

Still, with these interesting attractions about him, his thoughts go back to Wisconsin, where he has lived and which he also likes. He misses her snow and hills. He borrows a sentence from Mark Twain to describe Michigan’s weather; namely, “Wait a minute, my friend, it’s about to change any time now.”

All in all, Michigan is all right. I have traveled in Minne­ sota and have heard that it is a land of wonders and Gophers.

I like to be a Badger, and I know what a Wolverine is. Yet I say to myself: 0 Minnesot, with your iron crops and all, 0 Michiga, with your fruit and basketball, 1 want fine cheese, swell, pure, fine good dairylands, They stand high, dry in a coat of your hands.

HIS is the last issue of Volume forty-nine. In March the new staff will take over. We are through. It is with a feeling of relief, and yet with regret, that we relinquish our duties—relief, because we need no longer make ourselves bothersome to the student body by soliciting contributions, be­ cause we need no longer burn up shoe leather shagging copy, and because we need no longer tear our hair and burn midnight oil in a desperate attempt to fill the pages left blank when the deadline comes and goes unnoticed by almost everybody; and regret, because we foolishly think we would make fewer mistakes if we had the job to do again, because we have not yet reached our goal of producing one issue without a typopraphical error, and because, when we look back, we realize that it was really a lot of fun.

But it is all over now. We have had our chance, and it is for you to decide what measure of success we have attained.

RED Rest For The Weary ...

w

ORLD WAR II brought with it many inconveniences for the public in general. For the collegiate students of North­ western College it also brought a necessary, though unpleasant change in plans. Summer school was forced upon this institu­ tion. Many students had planned to acquire quite a neat little sum through a good job during the summer months of these last war years and then had planned to ‘‘retire’’ into school life, but that was not the case. Instead, they had to both work and study. Many had to do this for two years, but some of us were fortunate in having to go through summer school only once.

The first summer school proved to be pleasant and enjoy­ able. Then it was still a novelty, bat the newness of it soon wore off, and students had to face the bare facts. The means of support with which they usually came back to school after a summer’s vacation was missing. Studying was hard enough before, let alone studying in the beautiful summer evenings, listening to the whole outdoors inviting you to come out and forget your worries. How often didn’t we accept this invitation!

But then, that may have been all right, just going to school and having to study, but for most of us it meant working at some place or another. After coming back from work, a person doesn’t feel much like studying, and neither did we. After work we were still more prone to heed nature’s call and forget all about studies.

Then came the fall term, and, without the usual mental rest over the summer vacation, a slump in studying was in­ evitable. Students just didn’t care anymore. Studying was getting to be too much, but then the chill fall winds came, and the slump gradually wore off, and we perked up once more.

However, such deviations from the true course of study could be expected at any time.

V-J Day, August 14, 1945. Relief from summer school was now at least hoped for, if not yet in sight. After the fall term began, things began to happen. Something had to be done to bring us back to the old semester basis, This “something” was a reinstitation of our long-missed and much-desired summer vacation, that rest from all woes. To start things off right, an 290

；!

PRED especially long vacation, from April to September, was decreed for us. Everyone was overjoyed.

You can imagine now how every collegiate looks forward with great longing to that day of days, April 12, 1946, that great day when an end shall come to this long period of un­ ceasing study. No longer need he tax his mental abilities to the utmost, prodding himself on, telling himself over and over again that he can’t give up and quit now. I am sure that, after working for several months with a special little freedom and peace of mind, we shall all come back in fall refreshed and with renewed vigor, realizing that studying in itself is not such a bad thing and that knowledge is something to be sought after with pleasure.

Point of View ... recently printed this item: A MAGAZINE “A young businessman was moved by his company to a city in a far-away state. While talking to a real estate dealer in his search for a place to live, the young man asked him what kind of people lived in the town. "‘What kind of people lived in the city you came from?’ asked the real estate man. “ ‘Why, fine people, the salt of the earth.’ “ ‘Well, then, you’ll find that the people here are the salt of the earth, too.’ ” It’s a good story, and it shows how much depends on one’s point of view.

There were two men who came to Watertown from out of town, too. One of them looked over the city and the people and decided he didn’t like either, and he proceeded to tell everyone about it.

The other immediately started talking to different people and making friends. He walked around town and got to know the city and its beauty spots, the people and their qualities. He was interested in church architecture, so he visited all the churches and noted their designs and features. In a matter of 291

RED months he know more about the city than many people who have lived here all their lives.

One of them kept on looking at the grass on the other side of the fence; the other interested himself in his own surround­ ings, and he got a lot more enjoyment out of life doing it.

Since March, 1927 ...

F YOU have seen copies of The Black and Red occasionally during the last nineteen years, you were undoubtedly sur­ prised when you got your first glimpse of this issue, for a certain significant change has been made for the first time since March, 1927. We didn’t have anything against the way the title was printed on the old cover. As a matter of fact, it is obvious that many people liked it very much. But we were of the opinion that future Black and Red staffs might get into a rut if this were to go on another ten or twenty years, and we realized that this might easily happen, unless something were done about it. So we did something about it. For sentimental reasons we have not thrown the old cut away. It may be used occasionally in the future. We should also like to see some new column cuts in the near future. Some of them have served much longer than nineteen years.

Joel Nitz is working under a supply officer in Tokyo. He authorizes men to get rations for furloughs and passes. All Japanese eating places are off limits to Army personnel because of the food scarcity. All the food to be eaten must be procured from Army supplies and carried by the soldier on furlough. An interesting account of a visit Joel made to a Japanese home was received by Professor Rohda: “Last night a friend of mine and I were invited out to a Japanese home. I met the Japanese some time ago and he wished to have me pay him a visit. We took intevurban trains to get out to his place, which is about an hour away. Besides the two of us this boy, Onouye, his mothet', two sisters, a broiher-inlaw, and two little nephews ivere there. ftMost of the afternoon ivas spent trying to mal<c conversa­ tion. It is customary to give people presents of some kind when­ ever' you visit them. We brought soap, cigarettes, candy, matches, gum, and a little food. They seemed to appreciate it very much.

The family seemed to be pretty well off, having a radio, reJ'rujerator, sun-lamp, victrola with plenty of records (BslcIi, Beethoven, Strauss, etc.) and running water, even though they lived in a suburb. Oh yes, before entering the house we had to remove our shoes. Since there ivas no heat except a bowl of hot coals in the middle of the room, my feet got pretty cold. tlThe supper was about the vjost interesting pari of the whole visit. The dining room table stood about a foot off the floor. There were pillows instead of chairs. To avoid any possible embarrassment on our part, they not only put the customary chopsticks (hashi) at our places, but also knives, forks, and spooits. After a little practice we managed to do pretty well with the hashi. I really am unable to describe most of the food and the way it was prepared, but it tasted only vaguely like our food.

It consisted of fish, rice, vegetables, rice, unknown substances, dnd some more rice. We also had some hot sake and Japanese beer. It helped to ivaim us up.

“The hospitality of these people, who so recently were our enemies, was as good as any that I’ue experienced in the States.

How can a person feel the hate which we were supposed to have toward them, especially a Christian, who hates nothing but sin in the first place?

Joe Mattek is perhaps one of the most versatile young men in the dormitory. He proved to several witnesses the other night that he could travel the entire distance around the wash­ room without touching the floor with any part of his body at any time during the trip. ‘‘Zip’’ almost succeeded too, but he was foiled、on the last lap by an insurmountable obstacle: his stature is not adequate to cross the last gap between the door and the mirror ledge.

No, there are no spooks or ghosts of any kind in the build­ ing. That rattling of chains you hear is caused by the move­ ments of our illustrious editor. He has hanging from his belt a length of linked metal which drags on the floor when he walks.

This key chain is composed of five feet of brass chain, two feet of five-strand silver chain, and a few inches of wire. Along the entire length of the “zoot” decoration hang ornaments and keys of all sorts. But he only trips over it a few times a day.

What is an intersection? Can the junction of a farm road and a state highway be termed an intersection? Or even if it is a county trunk road, can you legally call such a junction an intersection? Who cares, you ask? An insurance company a nd “Beanie” are very seriously arguing the point. You see, his 297

RED :;

car, while being driven by P. K. P., was involved in an accident some time ago, and the final decision in this argument may well mean the difference between pay or be paid. So you see how important such a question may become.

Don’t follow Lau too closely if you should happen to be walking behind him in a strong wind; you might get a faceful of flying hair. His curly locks are rapidly thinning out. In every classroom he leaves several pounds of blond hair on his desk. The poor fellow worries too much, without a doubt.

And now he’s worrying about worrying too much, and then he starts worrying about losing his hair because he’s worrying too much about worrying too much. It’s a vicious circle. So he went to the Doc. and got the good news that he won’t be bald if he takes those pills he gave him. "Your hair are pulling stakes because they have no good foundation to rest on,” said the Doc. “Take these tablets, and they’ll build you up.”

‘‘Ii，v’’ came down to the Kan teen the other night and was persuaded to ‘‘set 叩’’ a bunch of the guys to 7-up. While they were all enjoying their drinks, Tuch permitted Billy Wietzke to gradually begin breaking basketball training by stepping on Inch’s cigarette butt.

N. B.— — These are the significant initials of Norm Barenz, He would have it known that his trips to Columbus have ceased, and that if and when he does go to that city, he goes •‘stag’’ and keeps it that way.

II Perhaps no sport arouses a more fiery spirit of competition around this place than does bowling. The almost fanatical viciousness with which one team derides the other indicates that the rooters are behind their teams heart and soul. Favorites are encouraged; opponents heckled. Fritz “Kerszhitschky’’ (short for Kosanke) prefers, apparently, to remain impartial.

He rolls ’em in the aisles the way he rolls ’em in the gutters.

But lest we offend the boy, let me say he’s improving. His average is in three figures now.

“When are they gonna start breaking eggs at Shimon’s?’’一 That question is heard quite frequently by two of the fellows who work there at the produce company. Others want to work 298

RED too, and the boss said that more:help would be needed as soon as egg-breaking begins. Did Jew know that the plant is operated by Hebrews? Well it is; a whole family of Yiddish-speak­ ing Jews runs the joint. Some don’t ；like the；atmosphere, but it isn’t bad, once you get used to it.

!

None of the Juniors or Seniors are complaining about their class schedule this quarter — there’s practically nothing to complain about.

Talk about a unique and corny "line,” Steffy certainly has one at his disposal. Here’s a typical snatch of his conver­ sation with a new feminine acquaintance; “How old are you?— Do you go to high school? — I’ll bet I can guess your weight.— How tall are you anyway ? — Got any pictures in your purse? — Got any sisters or brothers?—Those are nice shoes you二re wear­ ing; what size are they?—’’ etc. etc. But the jgals::seem: to like it. Tsk, tsk.

'il!

Is the office by any chance fostering the habit of ''sleeping through^ until eight o’clock every morning? It almost seems that way, judging by the large number of nice, new, comfort­ able double-deck beds that arrived the other day. Many a lad will appreciate them, that’s a cinch. Some of those cots they were sleeping on resembled horse-troughs, more than anything else.

Proposed theme song of the Male Chorus on its concert tour: ‘‘1?our a Lour a Loura.”

Nice of those “sem” graduates to get married in Watertown, eh lads? The Pep Band played at the reception of Lau’s wedding (that’s Donald Lau) and had a good time, along with many other N. W. C. guests. “The more, the merrier!” we always say. How about it, "sem” guys?

A glance at the window sills of the dorm will reveal quite a few boxes of choice foods, such as sausage, cheese, and of all things hard to get, butter. Oh you’ll find that the boys up here know how to take care of that ‘‘empty’’ feeling. Any-night there’s not a “chuck fest” somewhere in the dorm there’s 299

RED something wrong. Those are the times when it pays to have friends.

You may well be filled with glee Now that you are rid of me; ’Cause this number ends the volume And another’ll write this column In those issues yet to come.— But don’t think we’re feeling glum; Trembling, fearful, with much sorrow, We would face each new tomorrow.

Vicious critics left and right Were itching for a bloody fight.

Sure, there were a few that smiled At the stuff ’twas here compiled, But at most these were so few.

They were outweighed ten to two.

How can a few lines of corn Cause so much pernicious scorn?— But we’re not glum, As we have said; We are all done— Let’s go to bed!

Just in parting: To the next editor of Campus and Classroom we extend our heartfelt sympathy and the promise that improvement over the columns of VolumeForty-Nine is assured him, since anything worse is impossible.

1906：

Seems that NWC didn’t do much in llic field of athletics that year. We did, however, find an editorial discussing the “football question.” The general conclusion appears to be that all professional coaches and players be dismissed and that all commercialism of col­ lege athletics be done away with. It was agreed that if these measures were not taken, “tlie game of football, as j^layecl at present, should be abolished as an inter-collegiate contest in the conference The military company was going strong, despite of colleges.” all difficulties in getting new recruits.

1916:

Intramural basketball was in full swing, and enthusiasm ran high. The Seniors, not having lost a game, were in first place, and the Sophomores were very safely holding a clo?e second. (1 guess times have changed.)

1926:

The Athletics Column in" this year was headlined, ''So pi is Rcmain Undefeated.” As far as I could gather, none of the other class teams had a chance. Once the Juniors gave them a scare, and once the Seniors, but the Sophs pulled both games out of the din, and by sheer (p)luck and hard work came* out in first j)laoe.

1936: The Goslings won two and dropped two games this year. Wartburg and Platteville beat them to a farc-thee-well, but NWC proved to be more than a match for E. L.. L. A. A. and the Sem....

Hockey: On February 2, the (Joslings defeated Extension in an ov­ ertime period by the score of 4-3. Sieglcr was high point man, with 3 goals to his credit.

Mission House 46 Northwestern 44 Tlie Goslings were expecting a tough game from the Mission House boys, and they got it. Believed lo be our strongest opponent • tlie conference. Mission House took a small lead early in the in game and held it throughout. Often NWC trailed by only 3 points, but those 3 points proved to be too much for us. At the end of the first half the Northwestern cagers were trailing by five points. Olm of Mission Mouse had found the bucket eight times. Short but tricky, Olm sparked the cagers from Mission House during the en­ tire game. Huebncr, of NWC, played liis best scoring game of tlie season, scoring nine points the first half. Nommensen, Sclilei, and Kaesnieyer found tlie bucket once each. The second half found Northwestern playing the better game, but their best just wasn’t good enough, for Mission House, centering their offensive on Olm. who sank five long shots and three gift shots, kept their slight lead.

Wictzke and Kaosmeyer, with three buckets apiece, kept the spec­ tators on edge. The game’s end left Huebner leading the scoring’ for NWC with 13 points and Olm leading' the Mission House boys with 33 points lo his credit.

Northwestern 65

The preceding game with Mission House was jlist enough to lake the cockiness out of the Goslings and led them to prove tlicir mettle in an exhibition against the Miners. Unused to playing on a floor as large as ours, the gentlemen from Platteville soon tired and let the cagers from NWC handle the game in their own way. Coach Umnus substituted freely and kt the second team put in its share of the baskets. It was a field day for Wietzkc, whom the Miners just couldn’t hold down. At the end of the first half NWC had an eight-point lead, and that was only the beginning. In the second half the Miners showed some brilliant long range firing, but to no avail.

At the close of the game Wietzke was high point man for North­ western with 24 points. Best shooter for the Miners was Clark, who managed to tally 14 points.

This game, played at Milton, gave the Goslings hope of copping first place in the conference. The Milton quintet proved to be no match for the boys from Watertown, as was apparent in the first half. Northwestern, sparked by Nommensen and Wietzke, got off to an early start, the first half ending with Northwestern 15 points in the lead. The Milton cagers gave us a bit of a scare in the second half with Skelly, tallying eight points, leading the offensive, but Kaesmeyer, NWC^ lithe guard, returned the compliment with six

Mission House 51

In this return engagement with the quintet from Mission House, the NVVC cagers found that they still could not outplay them. With their play still built around their stellar forward, Olm, the boys from Mission House successfully nudged Northwestern out of its play for first place in the conference. The NWC cagers gave tliem a lot of fight in the first half, which ended with Northwestern trailing Mission House by only three points. Kaesmeyer kept Northwestern in the game by zipping five beautiful long shots through the hoop. In the second half the cagers from Mission House increased their lead by only six points, but these points were enough to win the game. Kaesmeyer and Wietzke led in the scoring for Northwestern with 14 points for Kaesy and 17 points for Bill.

RED but it just couldn’t be. The Extension quintet had received an enlire remodeling, and with their extra players it looked like quite a squad from where I was sitting. The game was a thriller. All ihrougb the play it looked like anybody's game. Although the Ex­ tension cagers seemed to have trouble agreeing： with the ref, they still managed to pull the game out of the fire and put NWC on ice.

Our team just couldn't seem to click during the first half, a!i(l llieir brilliant playing in the second half was not quite enough to win them the game. With Mai chow making some tricky interceptions and carefully-timed shots and with able ball-handling by the rc^t of the team, the spectators were kept sitting on the edge ot' llieir scats ihroughout the entire game. Wietzkc was again high point man for Northwestern with 17 points, and Schroeder for Extension tied him with his 17 points.

BOWLING Together with tlicir new rights the Juniors have received the vise of the “Faculty Alleys,” and are using this privilege to the utmost. The old teams have been forgotten, and new teams are com­ peting for the championship and the prize that goes with it. Each player, under Coach’s new ruling, must pay 5c each time he hits 25 pins under his average. The winning team is to get the “kitty，” and the player with the highest score receives the grand prize of one dollar. So far, Kruschcl informs me, Moldstad has contributed the most toward the fund, lie also informs me that Kosanke has ihe steadiest score.

The new teams are: 1—Kaesmeycr, Moldstad, Kosanke; 2一 Huehmjr, Kempfert, Fischer; 3—Albrecht, Donimer, Schumann; 4—Voss, Demcak, Eggeri ; 5一Wood, Schlei, Rische; 6—Press, Kruschel, Stern.
