ODE TO SPRINGFEVER

by P, B.

Thou sweet deep longing for things, inexpressible, Thou tender yearning, vague but irrepressible, O pleasant sorrow come to haunt me, Away!. Begone, I say! Avaunt thee!

Thou tempting call to song and love and laughter, That fledgling lovers, dreamy-eyed, go after, O sweetest sorrow of the heart, XJp, up, I say! Pray now, depart.

Thou voice heard even in the student’s cell, Thou febrile ill that leavest no man well, Go ’way, thou old spring-fever, thou: I’m trying to write a poem right now.

RED WISCONSIN AND CHIEF BLACK HAWK'* 6y

The world has known land disputes since its earliest history, and Wisconsin, the Badger state, was no exception; for Wisconsin was the stage upon which many a historic scene was portrayed, Wisconsin, the land of waterways, was a worthy prize to be contested being characterized by Longfellow thus: Fair lakes, serene and full of light, Fair town, arrayed in robes of white, How visionary ye appear, All like a floating landscape seems, In cloud-land or the land of dreams.

Upon this then, some what more vivid stage, one of America s true Americans steps forth to play his role in the almost legend­ ary history of Wisconsin. It was a night in the early eighteen hun­ dreds in the village of the great tribe of the Sauk, a smudge burned, in the lee of this fire, safe from the hordes of mosquitoes, sat the Sauk chiefs. They had that day deeded to the United States of America fifty million acres of land, and for this vast heritage the Indians were to receive one thousand dollars annually, and the right to live on this land until the government should sell it. That night the smoke of pipes blended with the smoke of camp fires, high clear laughter was heard, dark eyes sparkled and white teeth flashed—all but one brave who sat apart, his dark forehead wrink­ led, his eyes burning as the fires. This brave was Black Hawk, youngest chief of them all and also most hostile of them all. He would have no part in the feast or merry making and muttered to his followers, *They were drunk and crazy like the loon when they signed that treaty.” His opponent chief Keokuk was fully in favor of acquiescence; Black Hawk of resistance; Keokuk’s course was based upon calculations and their consequences; Black Hawk fol­ lowed his instincts and his aspirations for his tribe regardless of the consequences. Slowly Black Hawk arose, planted a war post in their midst, and motioned to his braves to begin the tribal war dance. After some time, after the war chants were over, after the high spirits had again sobered, Black Hawk then stepped into the center of the circle; silence prevailed, Black Hawk then delivered a fiery oration which had the effect of arousing his hearers to the point of frenzy. He painted an idyllic picture of the prosperity and happiness of former years. Then he retold to them the coming ♦Editor’s Note~^Wisconsin and Chief Black Hawk” and “A Prob­ lem Close to Home” are products of the Tres Artes Society and as such have been presented at a regular meeting of the society.

RED of llie white and the numerous evils that sprung forth from this, “Slowly, but surely,” he continued, “the white man is driving the Indian toward the setting sun, burning our villages, destroying1 our growing crops, ravishing our wives and daughters, beating our jKipooscs with cruel sticks upon flimsy pretenses and excuses.

Black Hawk concluded his oration with a call to arms; “Do not,” said lie, “belie the fact that our tribe has always been one of valor, amon^ savages as among- civilized people the leader who is op])oscd to the call of war labors under a fearful handicap•” The elo­ quence of Black Hawk swept the followers of Keokuk from their feet, and the control of that leader was in the most part lost. In this dilemma Keokuk chose his position with consummated skill and undid for a time the work of his rival. “It is my duty, answered he, **as your chief to be your father while in the paths of peace and your leader and cliampion while on the war path. I will lead you on the warpath upon one condition, that we first put our wives and children, our aged and infirm, gently to sleep by the side of our sacred dead, for we can not take them with us for they would hamper us in our movements and defeat us of our vengeancc. Wc dare not leave them behind doomed to perish of hun­ ger or fall captive to the pale faces, who would murder the old and young, rl'his sacrifice is demanded of us all; for it is a long trail 'vhich has no turn, from which, in a few short moons, we shall fol­ low but they must not follow. Our feeling of humanity tells us that we dare not take them with us, or leave them behind. 4<Keokuk then went on to show the falsity of Black Hawk's promises and the folly of such an undertaking. He appealed to Black Hawk to turn from the crooked path to the path of peace, and with some of his own warriors he won his case completely, but with followers of Black Hawk he had no effect. Black Hawk did not mean to kill the aged and infirm, but to do what Keokuk said could not be done, namely, to take them with him.

Months later, after many small skirmishes with the whites, Black Hawk received word that Stillman was advancing with three or four hundred men. Black Hawk then reconsidered that a truce might be better for his people, at this time. Therefore he sent three braves with a white flag to the approaching army, but Stillman had brought no interpreter with him and could not ascertain the mission of the three braves. Since his mission was to round up Black Hawk, he immediately took these three captive, but the shrewd Black Hawk had sent live others to watch the develop­ ments. Stillman’s men saw them and attacked them, killing two; the other three escaped and told the great misunderstanding to Black Hawk. The war cry was then given and the mighty Black descended from the heights with three hundred strong, but to their amazement the enemy scattered and in great consternation fled in 3

RED all directions with heavy losses. Black Hawk tells the rather mat­ ter of fact account as follows/ after riding about six miles we met our band returning, we asked how many of our men were killed.

They said none. We inquired how many oT the Americans, they replied they did not know, but it would soon be ascertained as we must scalp them as \vc go back.’

The actual account of the battle went something in this order.

The volunteer army numbering almost two thousand men under the command of Stillman was approaching; Black Hawk then dis­ patched three braves for the purpose of bearing a truce flag into the American camp; these braves were followed by a small party of spies; the whites, of whom some were slightly inebriated, promptly dispatched as many as there were in sight, quite regard­ less of the rules of war. Black' llawk, thus enraged, ordered a su­ icide attack of all his braves to avenge the gross misconduct of the whites. The whites were astounded and frightened at the sight of more Indians, and did not stop to reconnoiter, but set off belter skelter for the main body of whites, moreover they left everything behind them. When they reached the main body of whites, they went right on through, so that the entire camp was panic stricken and took off with them, bearing the report that two thousand bloodthirsty warriors were sweeping the country and most of them rode for fifty miles and more.

On the following morning, a young officer, a captain, by the name of Abe Lincoln arrived at the scene and sent word to the governor that it was just a small band of Indians. The order then went out for the capture of Black Hawk, and a new army was dispatched. Black Hawk in the meantime did not wish for war any­ more, but .by this great misunderstanding his hand was forced.

For six days and nights this new army followed the trail of Black Hawk, and though given the wrong direction by enemy Indians, they followed his trail like blood hounds. Early the next morning, the trail became so fresh that the Americans left behind all heavy equipment, in order that forced and speedy marches might be made. During the night from a nearby hill a sonorous voice was heard. It was Black Hawk’s aid, suing- for peace, but no one was able to understand it. Possibly had some one been able to understand it the war might have been over. On the following morning, Lt. Gen. Henry, with three hundred regulars, was instructed to guard the rear of the main army; and a strange quirk of battle took place, Gen. Henry began pursuing a small band of Indians and an instant later he found himself confronted with three hundred braves, and there was the only battle fought worthy of the name, and this ended in the defeat of Black Hawk.

Black Hawk did not long survive the crushing defeat, and he turned himself over to the Winnebagoes, who in turn, turned him 4

RED over to a one Col. Zachary Taylor then commander of Fort Craw­ ford at Prairie du Chien.

Fully expecting the death penalty, Black Hawk in his surren­ der was dignified, proud and aloof; confronting his captors he made this speech : ‘I loved my fields, and the home of my people; I fought for them. Know that and remember it. Do not speak lies of the war after I am gone. The war is done. The sun rose clear on us today and it sank in a dark cloud. This was the last sun that shone on Black Hawk. He is now a prisoner of the white man, but he can stand torture—he is a Sauk. He has done nothing for which an Indian ought to be ashamed, he fought the battles against the white man who came year after year to cheat us and rob us of our lands. The white man knows the cause of this war and he ought to be ashamed.of it. Black Hawk is satisfied. He will go to the world of contented spirits. Farewell, to my nation.’

But Black Hawk did not die, but was handed over to another young officer by the name of Jeff. Davis to be given over to the remainder of his former tribe under the charge of his ancient ri­ val, though now reconciled, Chief Keokuk, who interceded for him.

Black Hawk returned to his family and the Sauks hailed his return. Though shorn of his dignity, no allusions were made to his present condition; everywhere his old friends made every ef­ fort to make his declining years more pleasant.

And Black Hawk did settle down and lived a normal life, ex­ cept for one incident, when one day the territorial governor was called to settle the land dispute, and there face to face, Black Hawk took from his bosom a Bible, and held it up before the governor and asked, 'This good Book? You do like it say in good Book?”

The governor, mystified, agreed that he could not have a bet­ ter book in his hand.

Then if a man do all it say in good Book, what more should he do?”

The governor said no more would be required of such a man.

“Then look at good Book, and if you find in it, Indian go to Turkey River, Indian go today, but if not, he will never go.”

He never did and the land problem was also solved.

抓ED A PROBLEM CLOSE TO HOME by

WARREN J. BADTKE

I think that it is the general consensus of the members of Tres Artes that a discussion of a problem that concerns our everyday life here at school should be both interesting and beneficial.

It is with this in mind that the topic of smoking in the dormitory has been chosen for presentation and discussion here this evening.

This is not an attempt at this time to revive dying embers and produce a flame that would result in more harm than good. To make certain of this, I took the liberty of conducting a survey throughout the dorm in order to find out whether the rule concern­ ing smoking in the dormitory was generally complied with. It will suffice to say that a discussion is in order.

The rule concerning smoking in the dormitory is as follows: There shall be no smoking in the dormitory by authorized smokers except in the collegiate clubroom, prep clubrooni，office, and can­ teen. One of the main reasons for discussing; this rule was that there were many rumors floating around as to why the rule, as it stands, was in existence, and therefore a service might be done by finding out which reasons were valid. This is where the crux of the difficulty lies; namely, that all rumors iloating around were not the real reasons, and the authentic reason was not included in these rumors. It might be well to give an example. The fire in­ surance policy covering the dormitory was said to have a reduced premium, provided that no smoking would be carried on except in isolated areas. There was hope in this rumor, since smokers, if they wanted to smoke in their private rooms, would only have to contribute a small amount of money in order to increase the prem­ ium arid thus eliminate the restrictive clause from the policy; but although we have no access to the insurancee policy, it is quite definite that the present insurance premium does allow smoking throughout the dorm. Mentioning of other rumors would only re­ suit in an increase of their circulation, and would not be of any help at this time.

In speaking with the proper authorities, it was found that the rule is now being enforced, as from time immemorial, mainly be­ cause the dormitory is constructed of hollow walls and combustible material. Secondly, to a much lesser degree, smoking in bucking rooms is not allowed because the convenience of being able to smoke anywhere in the dormitory would result in students acquir­ ing a habit beyond their control at an immature age. Finally, preps would be too readily tempted to take up smoking also. Then too, there is a stale atmosphere which smoking in a bucking room ccs upon its occupants, especially in winter. But it must be stated 6

RED again, that the main reason is that the building is definitely not fireproof, and with over fifty smokers in the dormitory, care must be taken against fire.

Now, these reasons here advanced may, no doubt, be argued pro and con, and others also added, but this is a minor issue when one sees in this prolilc'm of smoking an outstanding example of wliat occurs when a rule is laid down for a group to comply with, and at the same time individuals of that group cannot see any reason for the rule. This can be brought out as follows: A stu­ dent in his bucking room, working hard over some irregular Greek form, naturally have the urge to accompany his deep thought with a soothing cigarette. Having a large ash tray near him, and windows open on a fine spring evening with no one else in tlic room, lie cannot, with the greatest effort, imagine why he should comply with the dormitory rule, or for that matter, why there ever was such a rule. He cannot see the other forty-nine smokers—some* lotting their cigarettes lie on table edges, some lhrowiny： tlicm into waste paper baskets, others grinding them into the woikUmi floor; pipe smokers knocking their ashes on window sills, preps 1)k*ary-cvcd from smoke-filled bucking rooms. Then too, lie cannot visualize a small cigarette igniting a desk cloth or liook case drapery and fire spreading- rapidly from one floor to the next, with final loss of a much needed dormitory, and what is more, as well. But is it essential for him that he see these things before lie complies with the rule? No! Certainly it is hoped that he see those reasons, but it still remains that he should not smoke, even in the case just cited, because the rule has been given by those rightly placed over him, and his Christian con­ science should tell him so.

For one who is a non-smoker it is very easy, of course, to pre­ sent this problem : but we may also apply this same approach to all rules and laws in general, especially to those which are of such a nature that we, taken as individuals, find it hard to determine the reason for the specific law or rule, and consequently are wont to rationalize hv sayinof that the rule is not a good one and therefore it should not he obeyed. Dormitory rules of this nature include time limits in staying out evenings, and the number of “pers” al­ lowed each month. Civil laws of this nature might include conservation laws and speed limits.

In conclusion it may be stated that there are two ways ol bringing about an appreciation for obeying such rules as these.

The one method is met with most emphatically when one enters the army or navy. Rules and regulations, orders and commands are given, many of them appearing unreasonable. By being forced to comply, no matter if he cannot see the “why” of the command,

7

HED the individual is gradually disciplined in that he does not ask why, but simply docs it. We are more familiar with the other procedure.

But it must be occasionally brought before us. It is plainly and simply that we are Christians with a desire to obey those over us, and although we do, at times, ask why a rule is in force, wc do not ask with the intention of disobeying the rule in the event that the answer is unsatisfactory.

THE UNITING POWER FOR WORLD PEACE

by RICHARD FROHMADER

' ..

For countless centuries man has been fighting wans: wars of aggression and wars in defense of his homeland, wars lo ^ain wealth and power and wars in defense of his acquired wealth and power. But now man has begun to wonder how he can prevent these wars and preserve peace throughout the world.

In the last half century the world has been ravaged by two of the greatest wars ever fought by man, each worse than any for­ mer war both in losses of manpower and worldly possessions.

Each side was constantly devising weapons more deadly and ghastly than the others. Lookiing back in history at these and other wars the question arises,'(<What has all this gained for mail?”

During the last two wars there was much talk of “a war to end all wars/* but where has all this talk gotten us? For ages it has been an ambition of man to create a lasting peace, but so far his efforts have ended in failure.

Looking at the results of this war one wonders why this country, the richest and most blessed in the world and nearly selfsufficient in regard to resources, ever entered the conflict. True, many will say it was because we were attacked, but a country the size of the United States is not attacked without sufficient cause and forethought. Of course, there was a reason, but because wc are still too close to the occurrence we cannot as yet give a com­ plete answer.

After the last two wars, attempts were made to insure world peace by means of world organizations. That is, a sort of model world government, made up of representatives of many countries, was built up. Its duty was to make and enforce laws regarding the preserving of peace and in addition to arbitrate in all dis­ putes. Such an organization was the “League of Nations” which was organized after World War I. Because of the lack of power which may or may not have been clue to the lack of participation by the U. S” this league was a complete failure. It was ignored by all who did not wish to comply with its demands.

Perhaps this was a valiant attempt in the eyes of man at pre8

RED serving world peace，but it ended in a dismal failure, namely, World War II. Again after the present war a world organization has arisen. It, too, has for its purpose the idea of first making and tlien preserving peace, But one can already see that it is doomed to failure, for it has not yet drawn up and approved peace treaties with many countries. Besides we are nearly on the brink of another jjrcat conflict, and who knows what horrors the next war may bring. ^Tan now seems to he in a quandary. No matter what he atlempts, a new and more deadly war follows. Could it he that all the great world politicians are attempting to found world peace from the wrong- angle? To find out, let’s try to analyze war as to its basic causes. It is nothing more than a fight between two small boys. One lias something the other wants and tries to get it, and glu ensues. Tluis that basically greed and jealousy plus the rcsuliing hatred arc among the basic causes of war. Nearly every war can he traced in some way to greed, be it greed for power or greed for wealth. If these are the basic causes of war, in order to have peace we must eradicate them.

From uur analysis of war we see that the basic causes of war arc contained in every individual person, Thus \vc must erase these factors from every person before we can have peace. This is truly an enormous and impossible task. It plainly says in the Hiblc that until the cud of the world there will be wars and rumors of wars among1 man.

Since greed，lust and hatred are direct results of sin, it is truly an impossible task. But perhaps一I say perhaps—we might be able to lessen the frequency of wars or at least the size of them by attacking and attempting to eradicate these basic factors. We 111 ight also he able to show the complete senselessness oE wars.

This cannot he done by world organizations, for these in them­ selves arc only breeders of hate and distrust as we can plainly see from the results of our present day U. N. Organization. No, this problem must be attacked from a different angle and the only way that this can be done is by subjecting man to some supreme being, whom they all will fear and respect.

We need a powerful weapon to eradicate these terrible causes from the hearts of man and the only weapon powerful enough is the Word of God. When man is made to realize his faults and to humble himself before the mighty hand of God, then, and then only will we have world peace. When our politicians and states­ men begin to realize that they never can accomplish world peace by external means, but only by the Word of God, then we shall have taken the first great stride toward this goal. Now no longer looking at our problem from the worldly point of view, but from 9

RED the point of view of a Christian, we can start the fight for world peace. Although we know we can never accomplish the supreme goal, we must nevertheless strive towards it. For in addition to saving many souls, perhaps we can lessen the frequency of wars.

We can wage a bloodless, a holy war to end all wars. This is the only kind of war that would have a chance of accomplishing this goal. So with the Word of God as our reason let us, you and I and every Christian, go out into the world and fight these mortal enemies, greed, lust, and hatred and thus alone create a world that is a more peaceful and truly a better place to live in.

THE STORY IS TRUE

by W. R. STEFFENHAGEN

The story of Noah's ark is one of the portions of Scripture most frequently attacked in the attempt of Scripture’s opponents to prove the Word of God to 1)e untrue. But in every case the person who challenges the inspiration and truth of the Bible succeeds only in one thing; he advertises his own great ignorance on the subject of which he is speaking. Objections to the story of Noah’s ark are never made from the standpoint of knowledge, but rather from that of misunderstanding or even complete lack of familiarity with the story.

For instance, a man says, “How could it have been possible for Noah to get twp animals of every kind .in the ark?” First ask him how many kinds of animals there are. He will probably say he doesn’t know, but he will promise lo find out. Then he will come back with some huge figure, most likely incorrect. But regardless of what figure he gives you, remind him that sixty per cent of all living creatures live in the water and didn't have to enter the ark at all. And seventy out of every hundred of the re­ maining forty per cent are insects, and don’t take up much room.

You will then probably be told that two elephants take up a lot of room, nevertheless. But think of the insects that could be park­ ed on two elephants, yet not using up much of the available space.

But it will still be hard to convince anyone that all those animals could get into the ark.

Well, then, how big was the ark? Oh, here we’ve got you.

We know exactly how big the ark was. Doesn’t it say in the Bible that it was three hundred cubits long by fifty cubits wide by thirty cubits high? Now how long, or how much, is a cubit? So far one has been able to determine exactlyhow much a cubit was. The Jews and their neighboring races had adopted a standarized cubit, but this was long after the days of Noah’s ark, and we have 10

RED no way of knowing the standard of the cubit at that time. When we think of a cubit, we first think of the distance from a man’s elbow to the tip of his longest finger. But how long is that? That differs greatly in dilTercnt individuals. The Scripture also speaks of the “cubit of a man.” Does Moses mean the cubit Noah used as his standard was the length of a man or the length of the fore­ arm ? This would make quite a difference. And if it was the length of a man, how tall was the man ? We see that the standard is in­ deed variable.

This whole argument sounds quite silly. Yet people will continue to insist that it is scientifically impossible to get an unknown number of animals into a boat of unknown size! It cannot be too much emphasized ei that though science is wonderful, it too is vanable, and we must look at science in the light of Scripture, and not at Scripture in the light of science. We can put full reliance on God’s own account of the story in Genesis, knowing that he did get all the animals into the ark that He wanted, however many there may have been or however large or small the ark may have been.

We Begin and Hope ...

HISTORY claims another volume of the Black and Red new staff steps in and assumes new responsibilities. Ours are the duties and obligations of publishing the ten issues comprising Volume LII. We shall try to give you, our readers, a Black and Red which you will find both interesting and enjoyable. Your suggestions and helpful criticisms will be greatly appreciated and will help us in giving you what you are looking for.

The Black and Red should present an interesting picture of the life and activities of the students. It should also exhibit the literary ability of the students. The several departments of our staff cover student life. Literary material should, however, be sup­ plied by the entire student body. The staff members must of course lead in this field, but if all the literary skill that lies dormant a_ 12

费RED mong the students here were to be aroused, the burden would not rest nearly as heavily on the shoulders of the staff.

Economically the Black and Red is striving very hard to keep things at an even keel. The sea of rising prices is still surging, and paper is no exception. Only a few years ago we could have put out an issue over half again as large as this, and for the same cost.

That provides a faint idea of the increase in our expenses. Other statistics would prove too depressing.

However, spurred on 1)y greater hopes for the future, we, the staff of Volume LII, shall endeavor to edit for you an entertaining, pleasant, and perhaps at times even an educational Black and Red. -M. P.

If Ignorance is Bliss ...

THAT the football season is past, it should be safe to write this.

Call me uneducated, bigoted, besotted一call me anything you like; but I still confess that I have never been able to understand what must possess those beings who are more educated, less bigoled and besotted than I who with all gusto and gumption give heart and mind, risk life (practically) and limb, simply to carry the inflated skin of some innocent sainted swine (his descendants are anti-inflationists) over a white line at the end of a field decorated with more such white lines—which I’m told are there for reasons other than artistry. How many a student is not willing to offer himself for that noble cause—to assist his educated coplayers in carrying that maltreated porcellus (what remains of him, at any rate) over the aforementioned white line!

The same people seem also to take delight in confusing others; so that one who is entirely “innocent” of football (like me) does not have a chance to understand. One hears of Butch Zmnxystpski (you make a better player if you have a name like that) that he is a quarter back—or maybe that he is half back—and sometimes even fully back. But back from what? There’s the rub! Occassionally it happens that some player comes a-speeding to the bench.

In that case one can plainly tell that he is back from something.

And one is just about ready to rejoice innerly (that’s kata thymon!) because of his keen observation. The kata-thymon rejoic­ ing is short-lived; for presently some kill-kata-thymon-joy announces via microphone that Hopelessly Unpronounceable is sub­ stituting for Butch Zmnxystpski—half back. Just when you were positive that he would get all the way back.

Too, I confess that I cannot understand why those beings in13

RED sist upon standing on their heads to throw that porcine object through their legs; I personally should imagine it much more simple, sensible, and certain of aim to throw right side up. Or maybe, not yet being firm in their views of things in general, they wish for education’s sake to change their “Weltanschauung” (or possibly “Feldaiischauiing”) for a time. For that matter, there is nothing like getting the various views on a subject—even a foolball field.

Then there’s that phenomenal accomplishment (I’m told)—llie aspiration of every true football player—of carrying the pigskin across the white line at the end of the field. Ah, happy day!—I am uninformed as to how many teeth require to be loosened or knocked out for a successful touchdown; but to save teeth I should mildly suggest that each such aspiring soul be given a ball and let run—full speed—across the white line once—or twice—or as often as he must—to content his eager little heart.

—Robert Scharlemann

Praise to Thee and Adoration ... wjln^yr W.\S tlit. aim of the Bethany choir to express, in music which is litTitage of the Lutheran Church, thanks and grati­ tude to the Lord, for the twenty years of grace which He has shown to Lkuhany College since its founding. A concert, so sung and so received, cannot but 1)C deeply appreciated.

Approximately eighty voices, many of whom, it was apparent, were trained voices, followed the theme of Praise and Adoration throughout the sacred concert, beginning with an arrangement in eight part harmony by the director, Alfred Fremder, of the beauti­ ful Norwegian hymn, “Praise to Thee and Adoration.” The first section of the concert consisted in songs and lullabies of Christmastide, all of which wore sung with delicacy and feeling.

Part two brought us •Turn Thee Now to Thy Rest.” from Bach’s Cantata No. 21. This difTicult choral work showed the ver­ satility of the choir, in its contrast to the subdued nature of the first section. The second number in this section, “O Sacred Head, Now Wounded,” also by Bach, was delivered with great feeling.

“Christ is Arisen,in a Hirsch-Buszin arrangement, was sung with all the spirit which this oldest of Easter songs arouses. This sec­ tion concluded with “How Fierce and Dreadful Was the Strife,” from the Bach Cantata No. 4. This cantata, which is very familiar to Northwestern College chorus members in particular, was offered with the spirit of young people singing in praise of the Lord.

Part three consisted of the longer work, "Come Jesus, Come,” also by Bach, which also was very expressive of the theme of the entire concert. A fitting close was the second stanza of Mr. Fremdcr’s arrangement, “On My Heart Imprint Thine Image.”

It is so easy for us to l)e harsh in criticism of choirs, partic­ ularly when they are formed of young people like ourselves, some of whom we know. But when we go to such a concert as this, and 15

RED realize the aim of the director and the singers, we cannot but join with them in “Praise and Adoration.” With this communion of minds and hearts we agree with the introduction to the concert, printed on the programs, by Dr. Ylvisaker, president of Bethany College: “ . . . Do not look upon them as a concert choir. They are the young people of our church reflecting in their song the wondrous message of salvation through Christ. You will kindly receive them as your own, pray for them as they come and go, and let their message in song cheer and strengthen you on your way.

Tres Artes Viget!...

ITS first post-Easter meeting on Thursday, April 8, Tres Artes presented a program by the prose division of the so­ ciety, consisting of three papers: “Wisconsin and Chief Blackhawk,M by Reginald Pope; “The Marshall Plan: A Summary.by

by Robert Scharlemann; and “A problem Close to Home，” by Warren Radtke. “Wisconsin and Chief Blackha'vk” was given in com­ memoration of Wisconsin’s centennial; “The Marshall Plan/* in accordance with the decision of Prose to choose as a regular part of its programs an important issue of current events. “A Problem Close to Home** presents a problem close to home!

“Wisconsin and Chief Blackhawk** and “ A Problem Close to Home” appear elsewhere in this issue of the Black and Red. Read them.

The papers were read both by Mr. Pope and by Mr. Radtke in a very interesting manner. Comment on the presentation of “The Marshall Plan” is withheld!

Tres Artes has interesting programs! Why not join us?

Valparaiso University and Propaganda nj.||；,.jrHE OPENING movies on the second semester entertainment agenda were: “But We Shall Live” and “The Moon is Down”.

The former was the story of Valpo—past, present, and future— very educational— in more ways than one. The reel was in technicolor. so I suppose we'll have to cater to common usage and rave about the beautiful scenery, etc. I think our campus looked just as romantic (in the sexless sense of the word) on our N.W.C. reel as Valpo’s on theirs. We heard a great deal of ye olde cliche, “Excelsior”—a bunch of what sounds to your reviewer like giish16

RED ing jingoism. We heard President Kretzmann referred to as, “O.P.” (also addressed by students as such)―We saw more white surplices and stoles, but happily we detected no ave Marias.—Saw virtually hundreds of Co-eds rushing about looking very singular (unquote, Kirst) and thereby our faith in Lutheran womanhood was restored. We saw all the Frat houses and dorms etc. till the peace was interrupted by the attack on Pearl Harbor. We refought that battle; then we proceeded to live through the trying years of World War II again till we emerged victorious with a much metamorpliosed and enlarged Valpo. Then we helped the Co-eds rebuild, build and lay bricks.

By the title, my public, you see that I referred to “The moon is Down propaganda. A typical hangover from the war_ old, heroic, more Chauvinism—Ah well, we at least found that Germans can l)e human and that Norwegian blondes are terrific with sewing shears as weapons. Typical plot: German army in­ vades Norwegian town and immediately meets one hundred and three per cent underground movement. Various entanglements—in­ cluding a romantic one with a handsome Teuton as victim of Nor-. die revenge. Teuton murdered by widow of slaughtered Nordic— More entanglements and psychological warfare—numerous blowups—till our hero, the R.A.F. arrives with tasty chocolate and dynamite for sabotage. Picture ends with all major industries of the town being destroyed by British dynamite in retaliation for massacre of to'vn’s leading citizens. Nevertheless, we must say this was one of the more conservative war pictures. The Germans were not ALL beast.

Triumph for Vienna ... w^^RCHIDS to the Junior Class for bringing to us what has been one of our most enjoyable evenings of entertainment during this school year. Sunday evening, April 11, we heard the recital

by Miss Irene Schneiclmann, a recital which delighted all those who attended.

Certainly, the high praise which has been bestowed upon Miss Schneidmann was not undeserved. In an age in which it seems that young instrumental virtuosos are springing up everywhere, she is still capable of finclinof a niche all her own.

I was personally very pleased with the fact that Miss Schneidman did not choose to **play down” to her Watertown audience.

Only those performers who seek popularity do this. Our artist played for the sake of the music, not for impression’s sake. For that we were grateful.

The evening's recital began with Bach’s “Capriccio on the cle-

17

RED parture of a beloved brother，’’ a piece of feeling and depth, expressed very clearly by Miss Sciiiieidmann’s sympathetic inter­ pretation. The second number, ''Variations on a Theme by Duport，” by Mozart, was done with all the delicacy and clarity of tone which is so definitely Mozart’s style. Embellishments, trills— all were done with dexterity. Beethoven's “Sonato in F-sharp major，” and Schuberts “Impromptu Opus 90” finished the first sec­ tion pf the program. Miss Schneidmann was at her best in the well-known Beethoven Sonata.

Chopin’s “Sonata in B minor” comprised the second scclion of the recital. Without a doubt, Miss Schneidmann's technical ability stood her in good stead in the performance of this concert favorite. The four parts of this number, named ''Allegro maostoso，” ‘‘Molto vivace,” “Largo,” and Presto nia non troppo” were all done excellently, but perhaps the most well (lone was the third, or “Largo，” movement.

The final section was Debussy’s “Suite pour le piano, This impressionistic work of the French romantic composer, though perhaps not so well known to most of us as other of his works, was brought to us with such excellent interpretation that we cannot help but remember it.

Brought back for three encores by the applause of an appreci­ ative audience, Miss Schneidmann played for us a paraphrase of “Fledermaus” waltzes, Schumann's “Arabesque，” and the concert “war-horse,” Chopin’s “Polonaise.” The final encore was the only deviation from Miss Schneidmann’s excellent policy of staying clear of the pieces of piano music that have been played so often in piano music recitals that they can be called nought but Avarhorses.”

And so, as the evening’s recital closed with the Polonaise, it came to my mind how like Chopin Miss Schneidmann appears, in her attempt to help her native land through the proceeds of her concerts. She has a worthy aim and the talent to be worthy of such an undertaking. We should like very much to have her play for us again一whatever her purpose!

Kuenstlerin ...

O US who are ensconced behind uncompromisingly academ­ ic walls the outside world shall continue to be an exciting and refreshing mystery. When some personality from outside the ivy covered walls enters our sanctuary he invariably becomes an awesome enigma.

We students who have practically lost all personal identity and are accustomed to being called merely, “college students” cannot at first grasp the significance of being a personality. Then 18

RED when we arc brought into contact with one we begin longing eag­ erly to learn more about this mystery and to wish for the day when wc too can be considered more than mere academic test tubes.

When the personality we come into contact with is an artist of more than routine abilitly w e are amazed to find to what extent his art can inlluence the life of the artist. We heave a liberally educated sigh and say: **Qli to be able to do something supremely well!” There must indeed 1)e great personal satisfaction in accomplished art.

Such was thc reaction of N.W.C. students to Miss Irene Schneidmann. She is living proof that in order to be a polished arlist one does not have to be eccentric. Miss Schneidmann is an artist in the best sense of the word. She loves her art with an intensity that she is a joy lo observe. When absorbed in the piano she becomes almost unaware that anything, except the eighty eight keys before her, exists. She becomes nearly totally oblivious to her surrounding.s and in her art lays bare her very soul to her audience.

She is so deeply conscious of her work that little else seems to be able to approach her. She lives in a world of music and is a ruler in her world.

She is nut in the least self-conscious, and personal appearance is of somewhat secondary consequence to her. Nevertheless she remains a woman and like all women confessed she too has difficulty in making a choice in spring coats.

Naturally, being both a devotee of the muse and a European she is much more serious minded than the average American girl of like age. This does not mean she is impervious to humor m all forms. She has an aura of subtle humor in her conversation which is charming, to say the least.

Her gratitude for favors done for her and compliments paid her are so profuse and cordially simple they give the impression of her naivete. How diiTerent from the Cynicism and supercilious tolerance of an eccentric artist like Horowitz! Hats off to Will Shakespeare when he says: “Be thou familiar, but by no means vulgar!” When we see anyone who is able to wear that criterion as a personal adornment we must exclaim, how true!

In our conversation with her we learned much about European culture as it exists today. We deplored with Miss Schneidmann the terrific destruction of her native Vienna. Sympathetically we heard of the appalling economic conditions in post-war Europe.

Our Artist loves her native Austria very much, but she realizes there is much more for her to accomplish here in America, so she would like very much to remain here.

We must not, of course, overlook her accent. Much more in­ triguing than Marlene Dietrich’s 一N. E. Menke 19

mi ii mu To start off this column a poem must be written, So I to comply on my breeches am siUin’ And starting this column of choicest bull-roar With just tTiese four lines—and not a foot more.

Now that the formality of writing the initial poem is over, we can get on to the meat of this hyar column. But before I start spreading it, I had better ask you readers to patiently bear with me for this next volume of the Black and Red. If the stuff I write for this C and C column has a foul odor at first, just give il a couple of issues to ferment, and it’ll really stink.

The big item of interest das gesebah around Easter time was the male chorus tour. The jaunt covered parts of northern Wis­ consin and even extended into a place called Minnesota. In gen­ eral it may be i)( said that the tour was a roaring success, but perhaps it would.be of interest to briefly outline the tour and niention some of the high points.

Weyauwega—fine food; fair concert; super-scrumptious bean soup; odoriferous atmosphere; good beds; nice people; dark base­ ment stairways.

Rhinelander—pretty girls; beautiful church; radio broadcast; linguistic announcer; good food; wonderful reception; wonderful hosts, dishes, fair concert, more pretty girls.

Bloomer—lots of laughs with the pastor; fair to middlin’ concert; again good food; again swell hosts; Bloomer girls.

Red Wing—peculiar odor as we crossed state line; big bluff; good concert; AA-1 accomodations; cigars and back washer.

St. Paul一biggest church on tour; fair minus concert; good food; white surplices and purple stoles; stockyards.

East Farmington一relief from the peculiar odor as we re-entered Wisconsinj good plus concert; the friendly valley; aching feet; informal atmosphere; good quarters; fine food.

Arlington—the odor returns; Vem’s Cafe; girls; best concert on tour; bowling; trouble watching Prof. Oswald; swell peo­ ple; delicious dinner.

St. James—high school auditorium; too many curtains; achingfeet and tired voices; fair minus concert; horseshoes; nice peo­ ple; friendly daughters.

20

RED Winona—good acoustics; good concert; shuffleboard; tough kids; wonderful people; terrific food.

Yo« can see from this brief account that our chorus was all too well fed and wonderfully treated. Our driver, Herbie Grosshcusch, was one swell “Joe” and could really handle our bus. 丁lie tour was a success financially besides, and the unaniious sentiment of the chorus was that there should be more tours more frequently. ’Tis rumored that when Miss Phelps, our Frosh coed with llic friendly smile, slipped down the steps in the recitation hall her ankle just before Easter, the first thing she said and fell was “Oh”，the second, “Johnny■”八 collection was taken up among the Frosh to help her along financially with her busted ankle. The collection was taken under the fitting slogan “Helps for Phelps.”

She’s back in classes again, although she’s a little stiff and some­ what plastered up with a big cast adorning her left leg. She still wears a smile though—yep, these coeds are really rugged.

Arbor Day Again this year with the arrival of warm weather rumors of arbor day began to float around. The rumors turned rather unexpectedly into fact on April 6. The reasons for having the great day then were (1) it looked like there was a beautiful day in the offing and (2) Tuesday is the Juniors’ tough day. So with these two excellent reasons in mind, big Pete Petermann consulted the faculty bright and early and the result was Baum Tag. As usual there were plenty of aching backs, blistered hands and smokesick stomachs among the preps. The collegiates suffered only a few casualties, and these were not attained by overwork but were the result of valiant action in the Battle of the Bottle. The tra­ ditional tree was planted by the Sophs in the annual ceremony.

With the immortal words of the Greek peon* pouring from their lips, they marched in formation up to their hole behind the din­ ing hall and clumped a .beautiful yellow weeping willow into the sod. Speeches were given by Pres. Johne, Prof. Schmeling, and Gertie Eggert, praising the tree, the class, and arbor day in general. The day was a success both in respect to weather and work accomplished. It seems nice to have the campus clean so early in spring. *—For the benefit of my non-Greek readers, the peon is a stirring marching song of old Sparta. It begins “Up, oh sons of Sparta!” and continues on in an even more rousing manner.

RED Conversation in the front seat of a car. Time: around mid­ night. Place: Arlington.

He: No? She: No. He: No??

She: No!!! _____ P. S.’s on the chorus tour一 Led by Joel “Mighty Mississippi” Gerlach, the boys in the chorus gave forth about two dozen times a clay while on lour with a line swiped from the Spike Jones show—**Horses?—And there they go!” They even went so far as to translate the phrase into Latin, Greek, Hebrew, and German, so 'that they could greet cvery nag they saw in true scholarly style. 氺 * The linguistic announcer mentioned under the tour notes really ought to be exploited a little farther. Part of the chorus program at Rhinelander was broadcast and recorded on tape at the same time. Next morning when the boys went down lo hear themselves, they got a big charge out of the colorful mispronunciations that fellow announcing gave forth with. Here are a few of the Lulus with corrections: “Jesus I will ponder now” by Vulpooius—Hack (Vulpius—Bach) ; “Since Christ, our Lord, was crucified” by Heinrick Shoots (Heinrich Schuetz) : 4<0 Darkest Woe” by Wurtzlmrger Gesangbach (Wuerzburg Gesangbuch). * * A remark on the concert at Red Wing: “Boys, you sure got a swell band!”

To finish off this my initial C and C column, I’d like to tell you about the most popular ? man in the dormitory. So as not to give him the big-head I won’t mention names, but I’m sure you’ll all know whom I mean.

He comes into every bedroom bright and early (Sunday and holidays included) and sweetly wakes up the late sleepers. His favorite method of rousing late sleepers is to shake the bed until the springs squeak, all the while accompanying this cement mixer motion with such sweet phrases as:: “Hit the deck, you lazy stink.er!” or “Roll out! Why are YOU still in bed?” He’s quite a chaser of firecrackers too, and can be found at all hours of the morning running after bangs. Tis rumored he has yet to smile and what’s more, he’s going to sell his frown to a well-known pickle company for exclusive use on their labels.

That’s all for this time—Requiesce in pooche 22

Basketball is officially dormant again for another seven months, l)iit before leaving that hardwood game for this season a brief resume of the “open tournament” should be written. As usual following- the basketball season a tournament is held in which various members of the varsity basketball team captain teams in a tournament. The teams arc composed of members of the intra-mural teams and are matched as evenly as possible. This year’s highly successful tournament was full of surprises and up­ sets with the pre-tournament favorites falling along the way and the underdogs displaying the best form and shooting.

Eight teams were represented in the tournament, each team being designated by a greek letter. These “educated” teams were captained by the following varsity men.

ALPHA—Will Wietzke BETA—Carl Nommensen GAMMA—Dan Gieschen DELTA—Eugene Schultz EPSILON—Jim Fricke KAPPA—Danny Malchow TAU—Ivan Zarling OMEGA—Bill Wietzke In the initial game Zarling’s team started out in champion­ ship form. Leading 21-8 at half time TAU seemed certain to cap­ ture the first game without much trouble. But the “mighty mites” of Fricke’s team played a very different brand of ball the second half and by hitting the hoops for 31 points and holding TAU to a meager seven points, EPSILON pulled their first out of the los­ ers' column and moved to a 39-28 victory.

The players of the second game must have watched the first game very closely and they were ver-y apt students. The game 25

*

started very slowly and again it appeared this would be another runaway game. With Schultz paving the way DELTA led GAM­ MA at the half by a 20-11 margin. However the “Gammites” led

by Gieschen’s fourteen points narrowed the gap to 18-20 at the end of the third quarter. The last quarter proved to be too much with “Sunny” Koch’s long shots and Schultz’ rebounding DELTA pulled out of their slump to an easy 37-24 victory.

The following afternoon two more games were scheduled. The first game between BETA and OMEGA started out very fast with “McIntyre” Nommy controlling everything off both backboards, but Bill Wietzke kept the bucket warm and held the game on an even keel. OMEGA seemed to have their ship pretty well bal­ anced and the score stood at 21-21 at half time. Disaster struck in the next quarter with OMEGA springing a great leak. BETA with a full sail then navigated to a very easy 48-38 victory.

The next game proved to be much more interesting. A very close game all the way to the final gun, KAPPA and ALPHA both seemed very determined to win as they matched bucket for bucket at a very fast pace. Leading 21-19 at the half Malchow’s kappanien never relinquished the lead, although Will Wietzke with sixteen points kept very close behind. Being very much the under­ dog because of the lack of height KAPPA depended entirely on speed and worked the fast break almost exclusively. With Malchow leading the “bucket brigade” KAPPA squeezed out a 42-39 victory.

The first round was finished with EPSILON, DELTA, BETA and KAPPA remaining- undefeated and with TAU, GAMMA, OMEGA and ALPHA dropping into the consolation.

The second round began with the consolation teams playing their games first. In the initial game TAU played GAMMA in a very loose and lopsided contest. With Birkholz hitting from all over the floor Zarling’s team hacl very little trouble winning their first game in the consolation bracket. Although the half time score stood at a very close 16-14, the second half was somewhat of a rout. The final score 47-24.

In the second game of the consolation semi-finals ALPHA played OMEGA in another one-sided contest. Bill Wietzke was very definitely ‘Off” in this game so Will’s team didn’t have too much competition. Surprizingly enough OMEGA managed to pull into a 25-26 halftime score but; the third and fourth quarter were a little too much for the “OMEGANS”.

In the first game of the championship semi-finals DELTA contested EPSILON with the Deltans having a slight height ad­ vantage, but the Epsilons had a definite speed advantage. Using the fast break extensively Fricke’s team held the lead throughout 26

fRED with Schroeder collecting eight field goals and a free throw to lead both teams in scoring. Leading 23-13 at the half the speedy merchants raced to a 42-30 finale.

The second game of the championship semi-finals was again a case of “not enough height” vs. “too much height”. In this game BETA defeated KAPPA in a very fast game. The combined ef­ forts of Malchmv's seventeen points and Lindloff’s twelve points were not enough to stem the tide of buckets produced by “big1 Nomniy’s” eleven field goals. Leading by a meager 13-12 at the half the Nonimenscnmcn rolled to a 49-36 victory.

After a few days rest the finals of the tournament were played.

The first game was to determine the consolation champion. The second game was to determine a winner, the champion for the ’48 season.

In the consolation tilt ALPHA opposed TAU. Again ALPHA had a decided height advantage, but height was becoming a very minor factor in this tournament. Will Wietzke just couldn’t get rollin’. Although Zarlin^s team led only by 17-15 at half-time, the combined efforts of Birkholz, “Butch” Bitter, and Hein spelled defeat for the ALPHANS. “Butch” Bitter had a field day drop­ ping in six field goals and two free throws to lead his teammates in scoring-. Again Will Wietzke was high scorer for the losers with six field goals and four free throws. Final score 46-37.

The finale, the championship game between BETA and EPSI­ LON was a very fitting conclusion to a well played tournament.

Nommy’s team BETA, was highly favored because of its scoring punch and the ability to control the rebounds, but the “mighty mites”，the Frickcmen, were not to be underestimated. The game started out very slowly both teams determined to play a cautious and very deliberate game. Putting in the first bucket of the game Fricke held a very slight lead for the first quarter 8-5 and a 17-16 half time score, but in the third quarter Krueger and Pommeranz plus Nominy’s rebounding- pulled BETA into the lead 30-29 at the conclusion of the third quarter. The fourth quarter was a real seesaw battle the lead changing six times in the last six minutes. With a minute and a half of the game remaining BETA had a very slim and dubious 39-37 lead, but this lead was very short lived because 27

多RED • < Herman” Fricke tied the game at 39-39 and with 30 seconds re­ maining Kay” Kaiser dumped in his fourth long shot for a 41-39 lead which was held for the remaining few seconds. So the tourn­ ament was brought to a coclusion with the best game being the fin­ al one and the underestimated Frickemen who started slowly, gain­ ed momentum, and went straight through to their ultimate goal, the championship.

Due to the absence of Coach Umnus, who mulcrwciU a knee operation, the tournament was very efficiently conducted by tutor Zell and Will Wietzke.

The officials Malchow, Nommensen, Zarling, and Kaiser did an excellent job although under some very unjust criticism at times. As a whole the sportsmanship was very good. There arc always a few persons who think they are able to see and call the plays much better from their obscure positions, but to those few let it suffice to say, if you don’t like the officiating- complain to the proper authorities or keep quiet.'

The tournament again was a great success and a lot of fun for all teams, win, lose, or draw.

[JAMES RUSSEL LOWELL, AMERICAN POET EXTRAORDINARY bij F.

The following is a part of the criticism and evaluation of the poetry of James Russel Lowell as delivered by the author at the last Tres Artes meeting, presented by the poetry division.

Lowells great activity in so many fields (he was an essayist, a critic, professor, politician, diplomat, editor and orator) is refleeted in his style. His vast knowledge flowed so freely in his poetry, that the facts drowned his form. Those very factors which made him the brilliant essayist and witty humorous letter-writer hampered him, and decreased the effectiveness of his poetry. Lo\vell realized this and wrote of himself in his Fable for Critics in which he characterized his contemporaries: There is Lowell,, who’s striving Parnassus to climb With a whole bale of isms tied together with rhyme; He might get on alone, spite of brambles and boulders, But he can't with that bundle he has on his shoulders; The top of the hill he will ne’er come nigh reaching Till he learns the distinction *twixt singing and preaching; His lyre has some chords that would ring pretty well, But he’d rather by half make a drum of the shell.

And rattle away till he’s old as Methusalem, At the head of the march to the last new Jerusalem.

30

.

RED His first fault then might be that he knew too much; his in­ tuitive method of writing was weak for one with so brilliant a mind. The result was a‘fairy-like，l)utter-fly structure, a Hitting from one thought to another; a poorly integrated whole.

To me, one of Lowell’s most annoying habits is the moralizing which is part of his every poetical work. The constant drawing of parallels to his own life is irksome, to say the least. After painting most exact and colorful pictures, why must he insist upon ol)litcrating them with the smog of his'petty private life? Or why must lie force his morality upon others? Surely he hoped to convert no one to his point of view, or to gain sympathy from no one. fhe answer might possibly lie in the fact that lie was a man of such varied occupations that he considered his poetry a me*re ]>crsonal matter. That would excuse some few of them, but not all. His knowledge of the art as a professor of modern language at Har­ vard must instinctively have objected to sucli conclusions as he frequently appended to his poetry which was written for popular consumption.

A deplorable fault is his habit of interminable sentences, He excelled in short passages, but continued to pile thought upon thought without punctuation, until all but the most intellectual were lost. Eight or ten iambic pentameters with only one period is not an uncommon occurance. In Pictures from Appledore one wanders and wonders tlirough fifteen verses with only occasional commas to aid the causes of understanding and reading.

Lowell’s chief claim to immortality is the Biglow Papers, Herein we see his excellent liumor, criticism, and satire. Dialect verse, however, even despite Bums is seldom classic; satire is the most frail and fragile type of literature ami never weathers the struggle to gain classicism and immortality. Juvenal, Dryden, and Voltaire are good examples of artists in these fields whose reputa­ tion is kept glowing, and that ever so faintly, by means of acadcniic bellows only. Therefore, the fact that the Biglow Papers arc read at all today is sufficient proof of Lowell’s genius.

In the opinion of one critic Lowell leads not only America, but the whole world in ode writing, The ultimate has been achieved in his Harvard Commemoration Ode, written in memory of Har­ vard's fallen alumni of the Civil War. It is incredible to think that one man could produce this (over five hundred lines) in six short hours. Another less complimentary critic:' “He (Lowell) fretted over his poem until sometime before the solemn day. At ten of the evening before, he sat down in a fitful frenzy and completcd the poem at four.” Then he continues somewhat more be­ nevolently, “Some poetic flights are superb, especially the tribute Jo Lincoln, in which he vies with Whitman in eloquent eulogy.

This is no fine marble block from Pcntelicus, but a mass of rug31

RED ged quartz, resplendent with prismatic crystals, deep-veined with varigated virgin gold.”

Such was he, our Martyr-Chief, For him hc*r Old-World moulds aside she threw, And, choosing- sweet clay from the breast Of the unexhausted West, Willi stuff untainted shaped a hero new, Wise, steadfast in the strength of God, and true. * ........ standing like a tower, Our children shall behold his frame, The kindly-earnest, brave, foreseeing man, Sagacious, patient, dreading praise, not blame, New birth of our new soil, the first American.

In comparing the Billow Papers with his odes, Lowell him­ self says, ' The Biglow Papers are worked in clay, where the odes are cut in marl)le." ()f The Cathedral it is said, the verses if stret­ ched end to end in a cunliuous line would go clear around the ca­ thedral they celebrate, and no one would l)e the wiser. There seems a hit of clea carving here and there, a solid buttress or two,....... n gleam through painted glass.

Lowell the critic was to he found everywhere, in politics, di­ plomacy, and literature. No matter what field he entered, he soon excelled in grasping the basic factors of every situation, in inter­ preting- the facts in final concrete values, and constructively criti­ cizing the situation as a whole. Had he but applied his critical faculties to himself, and had he revised his work as diligently as his contemporary and colleague Poe, he could easily have been more than the ^garrulous gallivanting humorist”.

But pastoral poet primarily he was, his great genius lying in his spontaneous acc|)tance of nature. Never did he lose his boy­ hood, for in a child-like manner he loved the scent of the wild, the murmuring streams, the jaunty and flagging flowers, the verdant trees, and the feathered and furry inhabitants of the forest.

This spontaneity and poetic elasticity were the greatest of his gifts. Nevertheless, Lowell could sing only at the Muse^ bidding.

This itself verifies his nature as a genius. If he is no genius it would be well nigh impossible to find any at all. If he is a better essayist, satirist, and diplomat than poet, it bears witness only the more, that, had he devoted his whole life to poetry, he could easily have surpassed all his American colleagues. Lo'vell’s legacy to the world is one which might advantageously have been revised and compressed, but his high tide sets a most enviable record as a brilliant critic, humorist, and satirist, a thoughtful heroic ode writer, and the originator of our most complete attempt in dialect verse.

RED ODE TO NIGHT

by R. SCHARLEMANN

Plenum tu silentium.

Comes tu studentium, Quae inspiras hominis Cordi cantus dulccdinis, Nox, inspira mihi!

Quae mortales faciant, Quae sub umbris accidanl, Occultatrix omnium Casuum mortalium, Narra mihi!

Oratorum modo horum Nox nunc nullum mihi dal; Earn vano precor, cano, Cantu, quae non adjuvat: Supplici mihi muta nox Nil respondct, silet vox; Non narrarc, revclare Quod factorum occultorum Possit, vult!

RAINER MARIA RILKE

by VI. E.

Die, so ihn leben sahen, wussten nicht, Wie sehr er eines war mit allem diesen, Denn dieses; diese Tiefen, diese Wiesen Und diese Wasser waren sein Gesicht.

Oh, scin Gesicht war diese ganze weite, Die jetzt lioch zu ihm will und uni ihn wirbt; Und seine Maske, die nun bang verstirbt, 1st Zart und offen wie die innen Seite Von einer Frucht die an der Luft verdirbt.

These two stanzas very succinctly express the essence of the intangible quality, the tender poignancy which manifests itself in the poetry of R. M. Rilke.

Even though he does not treat these subjects exclusively, namely the spiritual and other worldly, his entire work deals to a great extent with the reaction of the soul, upon the observance of various phases of his life or the lives of others. He does follow Shakespeareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s principle of holding the mirror up to nature, but the mirror he holds is somewhat translucent and some of the light *â&#x20AC;&#x201D;In mockery of the ancients and in fillery of space!

33

RED from his own soul seeps through to the eye of the observer. Where­ fore we could say his poetry is a reflection of an interpretation.

There is a mood of dreamy detachment in all of Rilke’s poetry that impresses itself on the mind of the reader and makes him real­ ize he is in the presence of a dreamer. We can see a very vivid ex­ ample of this mood in one of his early poems: “Ich lag im Silbcrhinimel zwischen Traum und Tag.” This is the last line of a poem which treats about a nightmare the poet had, and as you can see, this line is a summary of the mental exhaustion that follows such a harowing experience.

Soft tones and overtones of this kind pervade much of Rilke’s work and one could quote numerous examples of this type from especially the first period of his work: for instance: “Du meine heilige Einsamkeit", *'Der Bach hat leise Melodieen”, “Pfauenfedcr”，*i\annst du die alten Lieder lioch spielen?”

To further illustrate the peculiar quality of' Rilke’s genius we might set this mood in juxtaposition with a piece from the pen of Wait Whitman. Even the difference in the choice of subject il­ lustrates this point. Whitman would choose the more earthly aspcct to expand on, whereas Rilke shuns the mundane. He never seems to look at anything from its own level; he rather takes wings and looks down from the heights. Indeed, he not only looks at things from a distance, but he looks through them. A biographer says: '*Von ihm nehmen die Dinge ihren Durchzug!M Whitman is the warrior; Rilke is the saint. Whitman is reality, objectivity; Rilke is the subjective, the spiritual world.

The ideal in the “Weltanschaiiung” of the poet was a fusion of what he considers the two realities of life, namely the concrete, and the spiritual. Sometimes in his poetry he does achieve this ideal. We find these two everywhere in parrallel position; one is never subordinate to the other. Even though there is always the clement of the spiritual present in Rilke’s poetry we never find a unique that the concrete is despised as baser. There is rather i unity or uniting of the two in his poems. When there has been achieved in a poem a fusion of these two apparently antagonistic elements, that poem can be said to be ideal from the poet’s stand­ point.

The impressions the poet leaves with us are always momen• tary, and single. Once Rilke has achieved the desired representa­ tion he leaves the theme. He fuses his two elements, the spiritual and ephemeral, then he reaches the tentacles of his genius out in another and more fruitful direction. His poems are always links, never are they chains. The poet is always introspective; he dips into his own soul and draws from it his impressions and interpre­ tations. Rilke is never a moralist; he never seeks to reform. But 34

If 5

RED this terrifically egocentric, expansive force is stamped indelibly with a concrete decisiveness. Rilke is the space, the “Raum”，in the sense of unending possibilities. The thought and the observed serve the predication in the form of rythmic, mathematical pre­ cision and rhyme. This vastly expansive art moves around the central figure: The religious poet, the saint. It moves around a conception of God and is explanitorily subservient to it.

We have great difficulty when we attempt to trace to heredi­ tary or environmental factors any. of the “PALE ANXIETY” that pervades the poet’s work. There was some attempt on the part of one of his biographers, one Franz Schultz, to ascribe his genius to his German education. That is to say: he was born in Prague in eighteen seventy five; but since Prague at that time was so com­ pletely under the Austrian iniluence, the boy may be said to have received a German education, liis mother was a German woman; and she taught him to speak German so that he never learned his native Czech. He was given a Gymnasium training and was even started on a military career by his soldier father. The father had sent him to a military academy in the hope that the boy would one day carry the family name to glory on the battlefield. In my opinion, all the tender poignancy and fine feeling which he shows in his work later on are a reaction or a revolt against' the harsh­ ness of the father.

We cannot of course say that there is not one aspect of environment or education that influences his art. We must however remember that Rilke wrote “Ars gatia Artis”. lie lovecl the art it­ self and not the source of it.

Rilke was always intensely curious; he was always seeking tangible explanations to the intangible. He was always searching for different manifestations of the \v ays of God towards men.

In eighteen ninety-nine Rilke, /ho was by now possessed of an excellent education and very eager to learn, went to Russia.

While there he made contact 'vith various intellectual lights and picked up some aspects of his own peculiar philosophy. He fur­ thered his experience by traveling throughout Europe. He event­ ually settles in Switzerland. The cosmopolitanism that perforce must result from such extensive travel is easily detected in his work. While other contemporary German poets were then drawing th.e noose of nationalism tighter and tighter around their work Rilke reached out of the cosmos into space.

The philosophy which gradually evolved in the mind of the poet was like that of all atheistic writers : a vague sort of surreal­ istic conception of God. Probably we could best describe it in his own words. It is like the "Silberhimmel zwischen Traum und Tag” about which we spoke before. His religion was an attempt to make a God out of the machine of the human mind. In his youth the poel had been a Roman Catholic like his parents and there was 35

赛RED one aspect in this religion that apparently intrigued him in his latter life, for we have a whole cycle of poems on this subject by him. This was the “Marien Leben or Life of the virgin Mary.”

There is ])resent in this work some of the Catholic awe as regards Mary, but the overall interpretation is one that must be construed as Euripedcs-like even to our ears.

It is with this criterion in mind, namely that we must reject the jacobin gnosticism of his philosophy, that we must judge his poetry. Finally we see that although the search for the answer to the universal crux: “'Vliat am I here for?'* is an intense one in his far as the veil between art he could not find the answer. He got life and death, and then lie had to say: “Leben ist nur ein Teil......Wovon?”

■Wo rin ?

THE STARS: A FABLE

by P, E.

the black throne in his shuttered The night-king was sitting palace Counting stars to set out the next night When suddenly a voice said, “What are those for? No one looks at them anyho\v.: Now the king didn't take to that sort of impudence: He had always thought his stars were a pretty important part of the universe.

But, being a gentleman of the Old School, He decided that an honest question deserved an honest answer.

And all of a sudden he discovered that, when it came right down to it, He really didn’t have a very good reason for hanging up stars.

“Some one might look up and then What if the stars weren’t there?” he asked; “What would happen then?”

“No one looks up, though,said the voice.

"Perhaps you’re right/* said the king, and he scratched his head.

RED THE ''PASTORAL" SECOND b,j

After Johannes Brahms had worked fourteen years to complete his first symphony, he followed in a short time with his sec­ ond. The first movement is in D major; the opus number is 73.

While this symphony does not contain the depth which the “mighty” first possesses, it yet has a lyric quality that makes it imniecUately appealing to the ear. It has been said by Cecil Gray in ,,The History of Music” that Brahni’s music,M gives the listener a sense of strain and effort, as of a man who is engaged on a task not so much beyond his powers as fundamentally unsuited to them.” The music does demand much from the listener, but he soon finds that that “sense” has disappeared, and he is able to listen in complete relaxation and interest. The lyric quality of this symphony makes it the easiest of the four to appreciate and under­ stand at first hearing. While the first may discourage a new list­ ener to hear a repetition, the second encourages him to look closer for, thereby to appreciate more, the beauty of this symphony and of many others. If one wishes to start at all on the trail of beauti­ ful and worth while music, the “pastoral” second could well 1)e the first camp.

-While this smphony does not have a definite “program”, the whole flavor of the music is of the country, and therefore the title “Pastoral”. All the four symphonies of Brahms have been given descriptive sub-titles to make them correspond to four of the sym­ phonies of Beethoven. Thus, the second of Brahms’ symphonies ’ to be compared with the sixth of Beethoven. Some of the sub­ is titles may be a little forced, but in the case of the second, it is justified.

Brahms, as was Beethoven, was a lover of nature. He loved to walk in the coutry, to hear the songs of the people. He is a creator. Into his second symphony he has placed nature in bloom, the fragrance of the flowers along the path in the woods, the songs of his people. These he has made live, as they gently and clearly rise in harmonic beauty from the score of his work.

Would a written program” be necessary for this symphony ?

A symphonic work would mean more to the listener if he could, for himself, imagine a “Program”. He could feel that this sym­ phony was his possession, that he knew what it said, what it meant.

To have a “program” forced on one by an interpreter, no matter how experienced he may be, is to have half of the appreciation and half the value of the music taken away. Let the listener be moved by the music itself and the pictures he himself receives from the music. The symphonic tone poem does force 汪 “program” upon one, but this act may be justified. The composer of this type of.

37

RED composition wants no mistakes to be made, no picture to be wrong.

But even in this type, one’s imagination can still be at work. But we can be thankful that Johannes Brahms did not impose an aimage creating- means” upon this, his second symphony. The listen­ er can wander where he wants, where the music leads him. To him the symphony may not even be “pastoral”. It really makes no difference. He may imagine what he wants, hear what he wants, feel what he wants. The music was written for him. It is his. The music of this symphony is inspiring, the picture clear, the end resuit—appreciation.

The cml)arassed struggle with the Hymn— Ashamed, intimate mumbling of the prayer— Watch his wife lean wearily on the pillar. *'By the sweat of thy brow shalt thou eat thy bread.’’’

Faith is there.

It can move mountains.

IN MEMORIAM 1865— Tht war was over. The many dead had all been buried. The battlefields lay still and peaceful in the quiet of evening. In a little town where the North and the South meet, a woman slowly, thoughtfully walked through her garden. Flowers surrounded her on all sides. Occasionally she stopped to pick one. The sun was setting in an array of unsurpassed beauty and the evening air was growing chill, but she did not notice these things. She was lost in thought— ‘Yes, the war was over. The slaves were emancipated—that was the word they had used, wasn’t it—but look at the ruin and destruction this war has caused. Look at the bitter enmity that now existed between the North and the South, between the factory and the plantation. She should know, for wasn’t her husband club­ bed to death in one of those heated brawls over slavery ? That had been before the war started. And now, not too long ago she had received the news that her son had been killed in the war. Her

home was now completely desolated by this war. O, would there now be peace ? Did the war settle what they could not agree upon peacefully? O Lord, grant that it did!

•But what a price had to be paid. The countryside was shame­ fully wasted far and wide. Fresh cemeteries, large cemeteries were filled with the bodies of the slain. How vividly was this impressed upon her. Was not her son buried only a few miles from town ?

He fought, he died for this infernal slavery question. How glad she whs that it was all over. O God, curse not this land again with such a problem. It was good there was such an understanding man at the head of the government. It could have been much worse.

Lincoln certainly ... ’a rabbit brushed l)y her feet. She became aware that it had grown quite dark, and the air was chilly. She left the garden and entered the house.

Seated in the warm room, she found that her mind was still occupied with thoughts of the much too recent war. She realized the fact that this problem of slavery which caused so much frict­ ion between the States had indeed been a very troublesome and important one. She recognized the fact that all those men *'liacl not died in vain”. A clash had to come sooner or later. Now the struggle was already over. Slavery had been abolished. As peace was' quickly restored, so she hoped the bitter enmity would quick­ ly disappear.

America—founded on the principle that all men are created equal—stood the test. Upholding such a principle it could endure.

The woman decided then that the men who proved this with their lives should not soon l)e forgotten. The next day she determined to take as many flowers as she could carry to the cemetery where her son lay—flowers for her son’s grave, for all the graves. This she vowed to do every year.

:

1868— The early morning sun was shining upon the earth resplcndent in her glorious spring garb. A woman walked resolutely along the road that led to the national cemetery. Behind her she drew a small cart laden with bouquets of flowers. In the distance a cloud of dust arose. A regiment of the Grand Army of the Re­ public was coming. The woman stopped to watch them pass, but when the officer saw her he gave the command to halt. The offi­ cer was General John A. Logan, the Commander-in-Chief of the G. A. R. The woman trudging along the road with all her flowers had aroused his curiosity. * “May I ask you where you are going with all those flowers?”

“To the cemetery.”

“And do you have so many relatives and friends buried there?”

39

RED “My only son lies there together with his comrades. I place (lowers on all their graves.M “Hcnv often do you do this?”

“Once a year.”

“Is there any special reason why you clo this?”

“You wonder why I do this. I’ll tell you. Those brave men who fought and died, who are buried there and everywhere as a constant reniindcr that one man is as good as the next, and that the same chance is given to everyone, a reminder that America is America, those men should not be forgotten. I want to do my share to help rcmcmljcr at least this small group of them. They should remind us all of their noble cause. That is why I do this every year. It is little enough•” “God bless you for that, my、v6man.” The General was visibly touched. **You place flowers on their graves every year. Your deed is indeed noble. Would that they knew they were not for­ gotten. I lliink it would be a splendid idea to set aside one day which people throughout the nation might follow your example, a (Fay for the purpose of strewing with flowers or decorating in any other way the graves of comrades who died in defense of their country during the recent war. Wc shall set aside May 30 for— Decoration Day." The regiment rode Oil. The woman continued on her way to the ccmetcrv, hut not without thrilling to a certain new joy.

1948— That first day designated originally to decorate the graves of the fallen soldiers of the Civil \\rar has continued through the years. New eras, new wars of course add to its significance. In 1882 its name was changed from Decoration Day to what was regarded more proper. Memorial Day. But today Memorial Day (Iocs not alone honor the dead of the Civil War, hut also those who gave their lives in the Spanish-American War, in World War I, and in World War IT. We today still see the military graves dec­ orated on May 30. 'Ve see parades, pageants, plays; we hear speeches and hands; we know people are celebrating almost every­ where—and all in commemoration of those who died “that that nation might live.”

Jbttarhtl Was It Worth It?... ^^.HILE looking through old issues of the B & R, I came across 'V)/» an editorial which will be very thought provoking to every ； serious-minded Northwestern student. The writer looked back on his five years here at Northwestern, and then very seriously considered : Was it all worth it? And there are many of us here now who could take the same thoughts into consideration and ask ourselves: Was it all worth it?

The writer of the editorial had attended a public high school, and then because of certain natural abilities given him by God was able to step right into a very promising position in the adver­ tising department of a growing factory. After one year he left this position to come to Northwestern. First he spent one year of hard work making up subjects he had been lacking from public high school. Then he went on into the Collegiate department, now two years older than most of his classmates, “to spend half his 41

!•

RED life studying and to end up being a minister out in the sticks somewhere.”

Some of us could put ourselves in the same position. In the past years we have all been able to get summer-time jobs, many of them good jol)s. Some of them would he nice to stick with when school starts again in the fall. But, no, we always came back to spend our lives studying and end up beings at minister out m the sticks somuwlicre. We have endured severe criticism and rid­ icule from friends and even relatives who thought we could do much better for ourselves in some other work. When most people choose their life’s work, their first consideration is how well off they will l)c financially. But when one decides to go into the ser­ vice of the Church, he knows from the beginning that it is very apt not to l)c a very paying proposition. What is more, there are going lo be many heartaches. Now, was it worth it perhaps to leave a good job to conic here, in view of what is in store for us.

If we have spent most of our time in public schools, even for one or two or even more of our high school years, was it worth il to make the change? Did we notice any great difference? I will all agree that there was a very noticeable difference think in making the cliange from a public school to one of our schools, both in our social life and in our scholastic activities. I myself spent all my grades and two years of high school in public schools.

I always got along well in these schools and I liked it. Then when I made the change, T, too, took an extra year so that I would not he lacking in any subjects my classmates had.

Needless to say, when one leaves home to go to a school like Northwestern, to live in a dormitory, his social life is going to be different from what he is used to. The experiences of dormitory life is a wonderful experience, particularly in a Christian school such as ours. True, there are many evidences in our dormitory life that we are just as human as any one else. But the general attitude is different than you will find ini any other school; the Christian spirit reigns. We learn to have regard for our fellow students, to respect our elders; we learn obedience and responsibility. Our dormitory life is an unforgettable experience.

And now the classes. In public schools we learned things fact­ ually. If the teachers taught the way they should in a public school, we were taught bare facts, not tainted by any one’s or any group’s views. Here we are taught to realize that the sacrifice of Jesus Christ is the greatest thing- that ever happened, and -above all, that it was for me. All the fields of learning at Northwestern are taught with this in mind. In history we don’t just learn facts, but we learn what part every historical fact plays in God’s plan of salvation fro us. We study science in the light of the Word of God. Our professors, teaching the classical languages, the works 42

RED of the great writers down through the ages, the various heathen philosophies, are as good teachers as those of many a large, wellknown university, regardless of any ideas and opinions we some­ times have about them. But most important is the fact that in this teaching, they remain firm and interpret their subjects in the light of Christianity, showing how each particular subject bears on me. We learn to look for and see the Hand of God working for good in everything.

Was it worth it? It is an aim of Northwestern College in preparing us to be ministers of God’s Word, to show us that we are entering the most blessed work on earth, that of saving souls for Christ. We learn to thank God that he uses us unworthy lncn as His servants and instruments in this great work. We learn to realize that the spiritual blessings we will receive and are now receiving far outweigh the material goods we may be missing out on by entering this work. Indeed, there can be no comparison.

When we have learned all this, we say most emphatically : Yes, it was worth it!

Well Played?...

NORTHWESTERN*S campus recently experienced a marred 纖：victory, and although it was not because of one of our players the result was the same—a sour note. I think it can be safely predicated that a crowd, students, like to see a game played hard, but cleverly and 'vimiingly by their team; for after a long close game of evenly matched teams, there is nothing that is quite as gratifying as well earned victory. And yet there is nothing- that quite mutilates, or undermines, this victory as an injury—via care­ lessness. There is a difference between “well played” and what is charitably called “exaggerated frowardness”. By “well played” it is generally meant that one inconveniences his opponent l)y a con­ ventional clever sequence of safe, hard play; by “exaggerated frowardness” it is commonly meant that one inconveniences his op­ ponent by an unconventional manner with the intent of being excused from all play for the rest of the season. *No'v in hard play, in any sport, some accidents are expected, luit indeed some of these could be eliminated. Inexperience is responsible to some extent; however, with inexperience goes the desire, of new men, to some­ how impress the veterans of their respective sport. This is no doubt a main factor. School spirit is indeed fine and laudable, but one has difficulty subordinating “exaggerated fro'vardness” under school spirit. The saying is no doubt true that the player who plays the hardest never gets hurt, but only because he knows just when to play a little harder. ♦—Acknowledgement to D. Malchow for invaluable differentiations 一R. E. Pope 43

RED Make No Distinction ... ^I^^SCENSION DAY and Pentecost are church holidays the same as Easter or Christmas. And yet they seem to be regardcd as somewhat .insignificant. Should we not attach the same importance to them as we do to Christ’s birth and resurrec­ tion ? They indeed warrant it, Jesus was born into a world of sin. He associated with sinners and preached to them by word and deed. He suffered and died for mankind, and He arose. Then came the time in which was fulfilled Christ's Word, **I go to prepare a place for you.” Christ ascenclcd into heaven. This was the ultimate in His work of redemp­ tion.

Clirist, reentering heaven and sitting at the right hand of God, liecame the hope of all believers. He became their intercessor through whom they were ever reconciled with God. Christ again in heaven meant more that that. It meant that some day He would conic again. He would return to take unto Himself all those that be­ lieve in Him. Every penitent sinner for whom Christ intercedes before the heavenly throne God accepts into His kingdom, and his then is the blest assurance of a place in heaven. On the clay of His return all believers shall be together with Him. Is that not cause enough to sing praises to the glorious ascension of Christ ?

Ten days later, on the Pentecost festival, the apostles and all believers received a blessed reassurance of Christ’s Words. When God sent down the Holy Ghost, there was room for no doubt. The Gospel message was no longer to be contained alone in the Jewish race. Step by step God was preparing His disciples and apostles to do mission work among- all nations, in all parts of the earth. The saving message of Christ's redeeming work was to be proclaimed to Jew and eGntile alike. Occasion was to be given all mankind to l)e gathered together in Christ on His return.

We see Ascension Day then—Christ our intercessor before the heavenly throne of God, and the glorious promise that He will return in like manner to gather us unto Himself; we seePentecostthe gift of the Holy Spirit ordaining missionaries to spread the Gospel message to all mankind without any distinction. Are fes­ tivals of such significance to be regarded as minor festivals of the church year ?

How Liberal Are We?... ^.ERE in the northwestern part of the United States the Negro problem does not present itself to any major extent. ^ Many people are therefore under the impression that they are liberal as far as the Negroes are concerned. They are inclined to call the actions of the Southern people toward the Negro cruel, 44

RED heartless, and unnecessary. I believe, however, that were the cir­ cumstances the same in the North as they are in the South, the same cruel, heartless, and seemingly unnecessary acts would be perpetrated by the socallcd liberal people who now wave accusing fingers.

Let us examine our socalled liberal attitude. Just how liberal is it? Would we consider living in a Negro neighborhood? People who wouldn’t consider the implications of this question seriously would probably say that they wouldn't have any serious objections.

I wonder about that, though. Recently I had the opportunity of going through a Negro section in a larger city with a number of friends who were all from the North. The common consensus of opinion was that they wouldn’t; want to live there for anything.

If they would have a choice in the matter, they wouldn’t even stay in that part of town any longer than necessary, say nothing about living there!

This opinion concerning living with Negroes has in places grown to be more than just an opinion. Some cities have taken action and have by city ordinances barred Negroes from their boundaries as citizens. In some cities the situation has gone so far that Negroes are prohibited from even staying overnight. Such situations as the above do not exist all over in the North. Many cities have Negro citizens and there are some Whites in these cit­ ies who no doubt have no objections to living; among Negroes and do, for that matter, live among them. This latter class of Whites is decidedly in the minority, though.

There is yet a more severe test for our liberal” attitude, however. Would you consider having any of:yourr relation married to a Negro ? Most people would without a doubt flare up at this criterion of their “liberal” attitude and indignantly and forcibly reply that they couldn’t even think of such an absurd thing. Even those Whites who are not opposed to living in the same neighbor­ hood as Negroes would in most instances rear up at this sugges­ tion.

Let us add up our score. Those of us who haven‘t had Negroes around, as a general rule, don’t want them around in the future either. Some of us have gone so far as to make sure that we never will be troubled with Negroes, and the rest of us will possibly do the same in the future. A decided minority of our group raises . no objection to Negro neighbors. But we agree almost unanimously that there can be no Negro and White intermarriage. Oh yes, we are quite liberal! The Negro is all right, but . . . ah . we had better let the Southerner handle him. And anyway, the cli­ mate is more suitable for the Negro down South. 一K. W. Biedenbender 45

SAl?l£UL'y?y AUDI! 1/

教狐财 The Pro Arte Quartet ...

N MONDAY Evening, April 19, we were again privileged to play host to the world famous Pro Arte Quartet. As in their previous visits, these four talented men were received with great api^reciation. Taking everything into consideration, their concert was l)y far the best that we have had here this season.

Those wlio know music say that the great composers find their greatest test in the writing of quartets. It is quite easy to understand why this is so. Willi a full symphony orchestra at his disposal, tlie composer finds it possible to use many more and var­ ied instnimenls to convey the idea which he endeavors to express.

With quartets that is certainly not so. To express all different shades of feeling and cMiiotion with only four instruments, and those all stringed instruments, is indeed a feat. Musicians find quar­ tets also to he the source of their greatest enjoyment, because, no doubt, of their difficulty.

The Pro Arte played for us three quartets. The first, Mozart^ Quartet in C Major, the "Dissonance Quartet”： the second, Beet­ hoven's Quartet in B ilat major. Opus 18, No. 6; the third: Verdi’s Quartet in E Minor. 丁lie last quartet on the program, by Verdi, was prol)al)ly the least well-known of the three, and also the most enjoyed. Particularly interesting was the third, or Prestissimo movement. The dexterity with which this quartet was performed showed to us the true worth of the Pro Arte Quartet.

We need more programs of this quality. It would be to our advantage to have more opportunity to hear truly worth-whilemusic such as this. Many of us, no doubt, feel that they cannot enjoy quartet music. That is due to the fact that we don’t under­ stand it. But there is really no reason why we shouldn’t be able to understand it. What we need is ever more and more good concerts.

In this case, familiarity would not breed contempt; it would cause stronger consciousness and appreciation oT good music among us—John Lau 46

RED Art The Means --- Worship The End • • ■ Lutheran Chorus of Sheboygan has, as its motto tells us, a truly worthy purpose. I believe that it succeeds in its endeavor. The chorus itself was not as finished nor as skill­ full as we expected, but the spirit was there, and the music which the chorus sang for us was the great Lutheran choral music which is soi dear to all of us.

The program opened with Martin Luther’s “Dear Christians, One and All, Rejoice.” The simplicity of this chorale, with its dig­ nified harmonization, makes it one that we all know and appreciate whenever it is sung. Next was Melchior Franck's setting of Saint Luke 6, 36-38, which begins “Be Ye Therefore Merciful.” This offering was probably the best received. It was sung with spirit and quality of expression.

Following this came 13acli,s harmonization of Johann Rist*s “Eternity! O fearful 'Vord,” Heinrich Isaak’s motet version of that age-old chorale, “Christ is Arisen,M “Praise to the Trinity”

by M. Bischoff, Hassler’s harmonization of "Oh, Blest the House,” “When My Last Hour is Close at Hand,” <4No\v Rest Beneath Night’s Shadow,M and “The Lord’s Prayer,” by Heinrich Schuctz.

The entire concert was arranged in the form of a devotional service, with excellent comments for each number prepared by the Reverend Mark Wegner. Optional numbers were also included, namely Buxtehude’s Solo Cantata: Lord, Now Lettest Thou Thy Servant Depart in Peace; and selected chorales by the instrumental ensemble.

We are always appreciative of a concert of this sort. The pro­ gram was well chosen and well prepared. All attacks were excel­ lent, and the fact that the blending of voices was not what could bci expected and real polish was lacking, 、 did in no way detract .from the general enthusiastic reception which this chorus received in our midst.

—John Lau

Contrast ... j rp Juniors presented the movie “Immortal Sergeant'* to a j 丄 j receptive and appreciative student body. This movie was .... perhaps the best of any chosen by the Juniors for this year’s movie entertainment. The movie had as its stars Thomas Mitchell as the Immortal Sergeant, Henry Fonda as his able but timid corporal, and Maureen O’Hara as the hopeful bride-to-be.

J he movie begins in the African Theatre of War at the time when Montgomery and Rommel were chasing each other from one end of Africa to the other.

47

RED After we see Fonda receiving a letter from Maureen in which she speaks of the good times they had before Fonda’s enlistment, a flashback shows that Fonda had been a writer, timid and unas­ suming, but wholly lovable.

Now with the British Army in Africa, he, still timid, still un­ assuming, has become a corporal and works along with the Immor­ tal Sergeant, who is his idol.

• The Immortal Sergeant, along with Fonda and twelve other Tommies, is ordered on a patrol duty close to an enemy stronghold. The trip is rather uneventful except for what was then considered a minor mishap, a broken radio part, which made trans­ mission impossible. They are attacked by three Italian planes which destroy two trucks, eight men, and one weak-minded char­ acter’s faith in the Immortal Sergeant.

The remaining; six men pile into an undamaged armored car and try to get back to their base. However, the armored truck’s compass had been destroyed in the strafing and bombing, so that they were lost. To add to their trouble, the gas was low.

After abandoning the truck they find an Italian armored truck.

After a battle for the vehicle, the truck is destroyed, along with all the Italians. One of the Tommies is killed and the Immortal Sergeant badly wounded. He takes his own life in order that he might not be a hindrance to the remaining soldiers. This places Fonda in command, Fonda, who is definitely not a leader of men.

Fonda, however, manages to make their meager supply of water last until they sight an oasis.

Their joy is short-lived, for a German troop-beanng plane lands and takes over the oasis. Fonda tells his men to make themselves comfortable and invades the oasis when night falls, and with the help of the Immortal Sergeant’s voice, steals food and water from the Germans and returns to his men. A sand storm strikes, and with the protection of this storm, he and the three men with him capture the oasis.

Several days later he awakes in the hospital, a hero complete with medal and all. He has finally found himself. His hitherto dormant “gumption” has awakened. He immediately dispatches a telegram to Maureen that he will arrive soon and marry her, and no doubt he did and lived happily ever after. *

*

And then there is a (shall I call it that?) movie named “Ev­ erybody’s Baby”. We had two extremes in a month’s time. ^Im­ mortal Sergeant”, was the best the Juniors had presented. This was the worst.

48

SIRED But the Juniors were not to blame. ‘‘It Happened in Flalbush 1 about dem Bums—was t.o be shown, but for some outlandish lyason, Everybody's Baby was sent as a substitutc. A movie like that just couldn’t happen in Flalbush.

It seemed to have something' to do with a father-to-be, whose wife was an avid follower of a Dr. Whatcluimaycallit, who was an authority on raising children scientifically. This raised hob with me, so at this point your writer left.

If you saw il, you know how bad it was, and if you didn’t sec it, you wouldn’t: want to know how bad it was. So let’s leave it at that. 一Ivan Zarling

Tres Artes ... '：N APRIL 27 the program for the Tres Artes meeting was

:put on by the poetry organ (UN terminology!) of the o .=ganization.

The three lectures were given by Jonathan

Schaller (The Life and Works of Carl Sandburg), Paul Eickmann (Robert Frost), and Frederick Mutterer (Janies R. Lowell).

Mr. Schaller gave us a summary of the life and works of Carl Sandburg and his significance. Mr, Eickman briefly noted the characteristics of Robert Frost’s poetry and gave an excellent read­ ing of two representative poems of Frost’s. Mr. Mutterer in a lengthy paper impressed on us that James R. Lowell was longwinded. (Menke’s comment: Satan shouldn't condemn Satan!)

Although this meeting of April 27 ran somewhat overtime. the willing spirits overcame the weak flesh and all endured till the end. Resolved afterward : meetings should be limited.

Fair spring, has arrived in all her plory for her annual visit.

How do I know ? Baseballs, tennis balls, and golf balls are flying; the screens arc hack on the dorm windows; there’s that “in the spring young man's fancy lightly turns to tlioughts of love” look on nine out of ten faces; “Fat’s” is open again; and what’s more—I’ve got a cold.

Attention swimmers: Tryouts for the newly formed D.D.D.W. (Ducky Divers, Dunkers, and Waders) Club swimming team will be held in the second floor wash room at 6:30 A. M. on the sixth Sunday in May. Candidates should report in swimming trunks and water wings. The tryouts will be conducted by Coach and water wings. The tryouts will be conducted by Coach “Splash” Kaiser, former all-dormitory cross-can dog paddle champ.

“Come on T.S., old boy, let’s see you goof up another one!”

“Hey, Cox, why don’t you use your head for a bat!” With these and other choice bits of goat-getting heckling our N.W.C. rooting section gave “Tex” Cox the cocky first sacker on Wisconsin J. V. baseball team, a rough time throughout the game played here early in May. The razzberrics were not without effect—“Tex” failed to get on base all day and contributed an over abundance of errors to help our boys take a tight 3-0 decision. 本 * The male chorus finished up its series of spring concerts in Milwaukee on April 24. Two concerts were sung, one in the afternoon at St. Matthew’s and another at St. Jacobi’s in the evening.

It was generally agreed that the last concert was perhaps the best of the whole series. Everyone came home satisfied, and a good deal of satisfaction was left in Milwaukee with the people who heard that final concert.

50

RED On the bus trip back, entertainment was provided by Norm Haniniylet” Menke and “Saber Dance” Malchow. The choristers brought their high spirits,back into the dorm with them after their return late that night. The result was a super abundance of noise and horseplay. If anyone wants to know more of the gory details ask Prof. Pless, and while you ask him count the new gray hairs he acquired in the process of restoring peace and quiet.

While standing in line waiting his turn in batting practice, ' was suddenly and very forcefully knocked big “Brown” Strohm out cold by a flying bat. The bal had slipped from a teammate's moist hands a few feet away and found its way to “Brown’s” mouth. It took a while for our big third baseman to come to cornpletely, but the damage done to his handsome puss turned out to be of a minor nature. For a few days his swollen upper lip made him look like he was Joe Lewis’ brother, but after the gash under his nose had been stitched and destitched, and the swelling had gone down somewhat, he was easy to recognize as the same old “Brown”. If you want to know what a fellow thinks of first when he’s knocked in the mush, just ask “Lost Weekend” Strohm. 本

My vote for the busiest man on the campus goes to “Speed” Malchow. At present he divides his time between Center Street, the baseball diamond, the golf course, books, tennis, band, male chorus, mixed chorus, his athletic board duties, and when he’s not doing something else, eating and sleeping.

An auditing committee, appointed by the chairman and com­ prised of the Pastors G. Recllin, M. Raasch, and A. Tacke, was con­ firmed by the society.

It was resolved to suspend the article on the election of officers of the society and to instruct the secretary to cast a general secretarial ballot for the old officers. Following are the officers of the society: president. Pastor E. Benj. Schlueter, ’00; first vicepresident. Pastor Walter E. Zank, ’16; second vice-president, Prof.

Ernst Wenclland, ’06; secretary, Prof. W. O. Pless,，30; treasurer, Prof. Theodore F. Binhammer, *17; chronicler, Prof. Martin H. Franzmann, ’28.

Prof. E. C. Kiessling reported his findings concerning the cost of having a film made of Northwestern College and its activities.

After a brief discussion it was resolved that Prof. Kiessling and his committee continue their study of the matter and give a report at a special meeting of the society to be held during General Synod sessions in August.

Pastor K. Timmel suggested that the Alumni Society purchase means of transportation for the college athletic teams. After a 54

RED discussion thereof, it was resolved that this matter be put into the hands of a committee of three who, after a study of the type of conveyance, the cost, and the method of collecting necessary mon­ ey. should report at the special meeting of the society during the summer. The chairman appointed Professors E. E. Kowalke, C. L. Schweppe, and L. J. Umnus to serve on the committee.

It was resolved that the chronicler place his annual report into the June issue of The Black and Red. The report of the treasurer, having been examined by the aud­ iting committee and attested as correct, was adopted.

It was resolved to adjourn the meeting subject to call.

Oil April 30, the Northwestern baseball team went to Madison to inaugurate its ’48 baseball season with a 13-3 pounding at the bats of the Wisconsin B team.

Eight errors in the field contributed to the defeat of the Collegians. The Badgers tallied single runs in the second, third, and fourth innings: they got three runs in the fifth, one in the sixth and then blasted in six runs in the eighth inning- to turn the game into a rout. Tvo walks, four erors ancl a homer by Beversdorf caused the great damage in the eighth.

Northwestern tallied one run in the ' fifth and two runs in the ninth inning. Little Jim Fricke drove in all three runs with a single and a triple. Howie Kaiser, who pitched five innings, struck out two, walked four, and allowed seven hits and six runs. Jim Fricke relieved Kaiser in the sixth struck ou four, walked four, allowed five hits ancl seven runs. Slugger “Herman” got two of the four hits off Raymond.

赛RED The college varsity baseball team played host to the Wiscon­ sin B team on May 5, for their first home game of the season. Get­ ting revenge for their previous game with the Bees, the Collegians shut out the Wisconsinites of Madison 3-0 in a pitchers’ duel.

“Lefty” Jim went the route allowing the Badgers only six scatter­ ed hits while the Collegiates collected nine off Russ Sengstock.

Playing an alert game Malchow literally stole the first run for the Black and Red. Having advanced to first base on an infield error, Danny stole second base, went to third on an infield iout and again stole home plate for the first run.

Howie Kaiser started the ball rolling again in the fourth inn­ ing by hitting a double and scoring later on Strohm’s sharp single to right field. A single, two walks, and an error sent Fricke scampering home again in the seventh inning for the final tally of the game.

Meanwhile, the University squad was having trouble hitting Fricke’s knuckler. Although in slight trouble in the third and fourth inning, Fricke southpawed his way through without a run scoring. The home team presented a vastly improved defense with only one error, while the visitors miscued four times.

Two days after playing a very fine game with the University team, the Black and Red played a sievelike game with the Semi­ nary. The Collegiates were a listless outfit and in spite of Kaiser’s very good pitching the Seminary walked away with a very easy 7-4 victory on N.W.C.’s six costly errors.

Don Kolander did a very effective job of handcuffing the Northwestern sluggers and the Seminary infield performed flaw­ lessly. * The third inning was a bad inning for the Locals. On one hit and three errors the Sem scored two runs. Again in lhe fifth and 57

RED the ninth errors proved to be very costly. The few bright spots of the game were the pitching of Kaiser and the hitting of Frickc and the Wiclzkcs. “Kay” struck out ten, walked two and allowed nine hits. Lefty “tlic Ixit” Jim had two solid hits and three stolen bases. Both Will and Bill VVictzkc had two hits apiece.

Its too early in the season to judge correctly a player’s bat­ —.416, ting average but the big three of N.W.C. now are: Fricke— Zarling—.363, \\7. Wietzke—.272, The team is a meager .205, but as the season progresses we expect much better hitting. .Northwestern College's varsity netters invaded Winnebagoland, the ‘.hot-bed of Wisconsin tennis，’，and brought back a hard earned 4-3 victory over Oshkosh Business Institute in their debut on May 1. Trailing , 3-2, after the completion of the singles, the Black and Red came through with two doubles matches to ring up the vitcory. Dan Malchow and Don Sellnow, Badger State Con­ ference doubles champs, tripped the Pat Ryan-Don Behling com­ bination of Oshkosh, 7-5, 6-4; and Northwestern’s Eickmann brothers, Paul and Jim, set down Stelzner and Rouse in another thriller, 6-4, 7-5.

In singles competition Malchow (N) defeated Ryan, 6-2, 11-9; Behling (O) defeated Sellno'v, 6-3，6-3; Stelzner (O) defeated P. Eickmann, 6-1, 6-3; Nordhaus (O) defeated J. Eickmann, 6-1, 4-6 6-3; and Nommensen (N) defeated Oscar, 6-0, 6-0.

To top off the ’48 bowling season the seniors had a tournament to determine the new bowling champ. The results prove that the seniors are a formidable bowling outfit.

Intramural softball has been started but only one game has been played. The Juniors led by their pitching ace, Nommy, de­ feated the Sophomores 8-1. The seniors and the frosh have not played as yet. The seniors are a greatly improved club because of the services of Zell and Bradtke. However, the Juniors seem to be pennant bound this year. 、

THE FORTY-EIGHTERS inj MILTON SPAUDE

U: is just a hundred years ago that the Revolution of 1848 spread like wildfire over all of Europe. The republic it attempted to establish in Germany had a short life and was soon stopped l〕y the powerful Prussian leaders. As a result, many of the German revolutionists were forced to leave their fatherland in order to escape the vengeance of the victors. These *'forty-eighlers, as they were called, fled to America, the only open haven left for them.

Their coming had an important effect upon the economic, political and social history of this country, especially in the state of Wis­ consin and in other middle-western states, where they chicily set­ tled.

The forty-eighters were the "cream of the crop” of Germany.

Among their number were many intellecmals, many from the an­ cient lecture-rooms of the great universities, philosophers, pro­ fessors of languages, history and art、doctors of medicine and di­ vinity, lawyers and others who had spent many years in the pur­ suit of knowledge. As to their religion, most of them were free­ thinkers. They were idealistic in their political views, and some even dreamed of setting up a German state in America. These were the refugees whom America received with open hands in the middle part of the 19th century.

At the present time many midwestern cities, such Mihvaukee, Manitowoc, Watertown, Sheboygan, Sauk City, and even St. Louis, still bear traces of these lmmigrants. :' • When they came to 65

RED America, they had expectations of employing their intellectual tal­ ents as a means of support. But many of them were sorely diisappointed. This young, up-and-coming territory did not have enough open positions for such a throng of educated newcomers.

After they had spent all the money they had brought along with therefore compelled to take up any ordinary lathem, many boring occupation that happened to be available.

It was not uncommon in the 1850's in Watertown or Milwau­ kee to sec a brilliant professor of archeology working behind a bar in a l)eer saloon, or an analytical chemist in a drug store, or a class­ ical scholar of Lc*i|)zi<»; in a shoe and boot shop. A poet-sculptor earned his living 1)y starting up a bakery. A certain painter, suc­ cessful in Germany, had to abandon his brush in exchange for a heavy hammer in a blacksmith shop. This sudden transformation of scholars into laborers presented many interesting pictures. Im­ agine the astonished look on a native born settler when he entercd a shoe shop tu have bis boots repaired, only to find the shoe­ maker holding a lengthy disputation in Greek concerning some minute point of Plato’s philosophy with the town constable who was also a fortv-eighter. Imagine the blacksmith reciting Latin poetry, beating- out the rhythm with his hammer. Then too, there were those 'vho tried their hands at farming. These were called ••Latin farmers,” because，although they were truly tillers of the soil, they still retained their knowledge of the classics and had weekly argumcMits in their village saloons, many of which were carried on in the Latin language.

But not all of these educated immigrants allowed their talents to lie dormant. Many of them succeeded in becoming- leaders in politics, big businessmen, famous artists and educators. Probably the greatest and best known of them all was Carl Schurz. He be­ came a U. S. senator, a major-general in the army, the U. S. min­ ister to Spain, secretary of the interior under President Hayes and a famous editor. There was also Henry Villard, the journalist, Civil War correspondent and builder of the Northern Pacific Rail­ road. Edward Salomon, another forty-eighter, became governor of Wisconsin. Conrad Krcz of Sheboygan was an influential district attorney and a song writer. Then there were Henry Steinway, the famous piano builder, and the two musical directors, Hans Balatka and Christoph Bach of Milwaukee, who awakened a taste for good music in our state.

Although the forty-eighters would have been well remembered for the outstanding- contributions of these men, the group as a whole exerted a still greater influence on American life through their own customs, entertainments and political activities. Since most of these immigrants were of the intellectual class, they usually 66

5IRED became leaders in the fields of music, art, education and society, especially among their fellow Germans.

They furthered the cause of music 1)y organizing and patron­ izing such groups as the ••Musikverdii” ill Milwaukee, which in its early years presented Haydn's "Creation," *l，J he Messiah, aiicl a number of light operas. In many communities they organized “Maeiinerclioere” and ..Saeiigerfeste,” great annual gatherings at ：： which dozens of choirs from all over the state or nation joined in song.

In the field of drama they were also very active. Many Ger­ man dramas and amateur theatricals were put on by their nourish­ ing dramatic clubs. The actors were usually the businessmen of the town or anyone who could fill the qualifications. A group of them gave a Schiller play at New Holstein in the woods early in 1848. Three others put on a skit on Christmas Eve, 1848, in Mani­ towoc in the back room of a grocery store before an audience of 35. Among the stories of early life in Watertown there is one which depicts a certain soap-maker practicing his part; for the eve­ ning play. Acting out his part while methodically making another batch of soap, he became so absorbed in the drama that he ac­ cidentally slipped into the soap vat, receiving severe lninis, But he still played his role that evening.

The forty-eighters had not been here long before they became the leading spirits in the popular Turner Clubs, luluard Schultz and Fritz Anneke founded the first one in Milwaukee in 1850.

These Turner organizations, begun primarily for the purpose of the physical and mental development of their nienibers, were soon the most important organizations in the German communities.

Many of the first volunteer troops of the Union Army in the Civil War were composed of Turners. In Watertown virtually the whole Turner society enlisted and became a separate company.

Education also received a great boost from the forty-eighters.

The most famous educator in Wisconsin during the middle of the last century was Peter Engelmann, a forty-eighter who helped to mise the easy-going standards of education in vogue at the time.

Also not to be forgotten is the fact that in 1856 in Watertown Mrs. Carl Schurz started the first kindergarten in America. From this seed sprouted kindergartens all over the country.

When the forty-eighters came to America, they here found a political system such as they had sought to establish in Germany through their revolution. So they soon began to take part in po­ litical affairs. At first they all joined the Democratic Party. That had been the party of those staunch men of the people, Jefferson aii.d Jackson. It was also the party most friendly to foreign im­ migrants, whereas the Whigs and early Republicans harbored a67

5IRED niong their members Know-nothings, who were opposed to foreign-

ers. Later, however, the forty-eighters practically all joined the Republican party because of its strong opposition to slavery. It is said that German votes, some 300,000 in number, really put Lin­ coln into office. In general the goal of the forty-eighters in poli­ tics in later years was the establishing of civil service, sound mon­ ey, party reforms and personal liberty.

Many German customs, foods, and types of entertainment were gradimlly adopted by Americans in this period. An inter­ esting example was the Sunday afternoon picnic or outing. The German freetliinkcrs were largely responsible for the introduction of the so-called ''German Sunday.” For one thing they were not very ardent churcli-^oers themselves. They also refused to accept the Puritanic idea that Sunday was made holy for the sake of the day itself. To them it was no sin to partake of sport events, fes­ tivities and picnics on that day. They considered it their liberty to worship in the morning, if they chose, and to go hunting or on out­ ings in the afternoon. For this they were often called “Dutch Sab­ bath Hreakcrs." As a matter of fact they quarreled more often with their more religious fellow Germans, especially the Catholics, than they did with native Americans.

Nevertheless, as intellectuals and liberal immigrants, as set­ tlers, as leaders of community organizations, as politicians and merchants, the forty-eighters played their role alongside the other nationalities in the building of the micl-west. Their contributions to music, art and literature, their participation in political affairs, their active share in the Civil War and their loyalty to American ideals have given them an honored position in the American **melting-pot” of nations.

OUR HISTORY

by PAUL NITZ *48

On September 4, 1940, twenty-four students enrolled in the Sexta Class at Northwestern. The following fall six students fail­ ed to return. Two members were gained in the Quinta year, how­ ever. The class began the Quarta year with one less student. The Armed Forces claimed four members of the class in the Tertia year. At the end of that school year fifteen students graduated from the High School Department.

Nineteen students entered Northwestern College as Freshmen on June 19, 1944, the beginning of the first quarter of the acceler­ ated program. During the course of the Freshman year four spec­ ial students entered the class. At the beginning of the Sophomore year the class numbered thirteen. Although four students joined the class at the beginning of the Junior year, the class enrollment stood at fourteen, since three members were lost during the Soph­ omore year. The size of the graduating class remains the same, the last addition filling the vacancy caused by the loss of the Juni­ or Class president.

During the eight years forty-six individuals have been members of the Class of 1948. Of these, twelve were coeds, the last of whom left at the end of the Sophomore year. All but fourteen of these forty-six students dropped out along the way for various reasons. Of the fourteen seniors who graduate, only two have been with the class since Sexta.

RED WE PRESENT TO YOU …

At any school June and commencement day are spoken in the same 1)reath. A certain excitement and anticipation is wafted on the breezes of early June. One class eagerly looks forward to the grand finale of its* college life—graduation. This year that class is small. There are only fourteen seniors. But numbers mean noth­ ing一graduation to them is still the glorious culmination of years of hard and serious study, years that also meant good times and good friends. The class of ’48, small as it is, is quite representative. Aii attempt has been made to illustrate this by means of the following sketches. But before we So on, we take this opportunity to wish all the seniors success in their future studies and in their life’s work. And now we take pleasure in presenting to you— MILTON PAUL SPAUDE President A staunch Minnesotan “Spuud” prepped at D. M. L. C. Does plenty of studying, but always has time for a bull session, his fav­ orite subject. Besides being student body president, Milt was a member of the l)and, member of the male chorus, won his letter in football, and was Campus and Classroom editor of tlic B R. And in his spare time he was the school's barber. His pet peeve一 afternoon periods. Brings his college career to a fitting conclusion by delivering the English oration.

DANIEL C. DEROSE Vice-President Dan is one of the few at school that sports some other means of locomotion besides footpower. Hailing from Medford, he join­ ed the class in Quinta and through his popularity has become vicepresident of his class. Dan has a simple, classical taste and considers concerts, plays，etc. an important part of his education. Al­ ways good natured he has a snappy comeback for everything, but if you want to stay on the good side of him, don’t mention Roose­ velt or boogy-woogy in his presence. Rather ask him about his hobby，photography. Good luck at the Sem next fall, Danny.

PAUL ERNEST NITZ Secretary 7 he Fritz Reuter of the American college student. The last sure stronghold of last year’s jokes, a man who blows the foam off tli〒 stein of life with gusto, that is our Pel or. If ever there is any hilarity goiiv on in the office over a weed or two, Pel or will most likely be at the bottom of it. One of the contributing editors 75

RED of the past 13. and R. Proud protriuler of the football “N”. Virile and lusty baritone in the Male Chorus. In fact, what hasn’t the guy got his foot in? Pelor is the one we clawed, battered, maimed, and ailing students go to for bandages, aspirins and inerth一whatever that stuff is. A native of Arizona, presently living in Wis­ consin. A merry Scm life and a happy Mercurochrome to you, Pelor.

MARTIN THEODORE BRADTKE My dear friends, you have never heard a MAN laugh until you’ve heard our Tc(l. You have never heard Boogie with a capi­ tal Woogie until you've heard Ted play it. You have never heard mellow crooning with a capital Frankie until you’ve heard Ted. You have never conjugated Hebrew verbs right until you’ve done so with Ted. You have never seen that blond with a more capable convoy than Ted. Originally not from this class: an illness kept him out a year. A better addition were doubtless impossible. The modern version • of the “Homo Universalis”. There is only one thing wrong with this school, says he; and that is that they can’t spell a man’s name right. To assiduous followers of the College Cata­ logue the man's first name is Marvin. We miss his baritone in the Male Chorus this year: the boy can sing! I wonder what Sem life will he like to a lover of Hebrew. When you find out, let us know, Ted. ARCHIE HKRHERT BROITSMAN Archie hails from the region of the father of waters, claim­ ing La Crosse as his home town. Back in the fall of 1940 he cntcred Nortlnvesiern. Simple mathematics will tell you that he is now rounding off his eighth year here in Watertown. He is one of two seniors who can claim this. Archie is always ready to par­ ticipate in the activities of his class, lending capable aid to its in­ tramural teams. In football, however, he headed for the Varsity, where lie filled a halfback position. His efforts in behalf of the Varsity won him the coveted “N”. The band exerted some in fluence on Archie too. He took up the French horn and occupied that chair for some time. Always ready and willing to have a good time, though he does not forget his studies. Archie’s plans for next year include the Seminary.

OTTO WILLIAM ECKERT If you ever hear a couple of guys talking and one bursts out in what sounds like a foreign language or the list of animals at a zoo, you can rest assured that is Otto Eckert. Otto is a transfer from Michigan Lutheran Sem. He joined the class in Frosh and lias been doing his best to liven things up ever since. In between 76

RED But he has his studying he has found time to work at Herro's. ... troubles. It seems no one is able to wake him up in time to make classes. Well, you can’t help that, can you Otto? A careful dresser, he claims to have survived the attacks of the opposite sex. Being a diligent scholar, he believes that more comfortable chairs ought to be introduced into the classrooms. Next fall will find him hard at work at the Sem. NEIL R. JORDAHL Born under the sign of Cancer (crab), “Mealy” (corruption of Neil) Jordahl, one of the two Norwegian graduates, will try to disprove any characteristic trait which his auspicious date of birth would indicate. The Navy claimed him while a student at Luther College, Decorah, then he spent his Junior and Senior years here at N.W.C. A born smoker, he has always managed to keep the air in his bucking-room clear wlienever Tutor came dangerously close. He is an ardent bowler, and says his attitude toward ath­ letics is favorable, in that he has attended more games than any other student, except the players themselves. Denying any ability ascribed to him on any musical instrument, you may at times catch him playing the radio (he prefers church music). Professor Kicssling's history classes prove a source of joy to him, more than the average student, perhaps because he himself once taught summer sessions at Princeton (Minnesota, that is—_). One of few who have never written for the Black & Red. Was our Fire Chief this year.

His respect for Morpheus obliges him to get along on two meals a day. During his spare time you will either find him eating Ritz crackers or else fighting with Bill. Will says that if you happen to be sitting in one corner of the theatre and hear a hearty laugh coming from the opposite corner, you can be sure it emanated from “Mealy’s” mouth. He plans to continue this life at Bethany Lutheran Seminary, Mankato.

NORVAL W. KOCK A Minnesotan (and a loyal one, of course) is Norval Kock.

Though in size the smallest, scholastically he is at the top of his class. He is diligent, but—happily—not overdiligent, not being what college jargon calls a greasy grind (in fact, he’s greasygrindo-phobic). He enjoys, instead, fresh air and exercise—but quiet study rooms when lie’s working. . . . Musically inclined, he is an accurate vocalist,- a member of the male chorus four years and. its president ’47-’48，a proficient pianist and organist—and baritone blower of the band. . . As member of the Black and Red staff he kept all sports-lovers well informed of NWC’s sports activities. ... He hasn’t met his soul-mate yet and has, 77

RED consequently no inipencliiig nuptial commitments! . .Always gets up for Ijreakfast promptly. . . . Dislikes anyone who misspells his last name.

ULRIK JULIUS LARSEN *.Stu(l，” as he is better known among us, is this year’s contri­ bution from I^cthany College in Mankato. He acquired his nick­ name while still at Bethany for spending so much time studying.

A great reader, lie reads several books every week, sometimes reading two or three in one evening. He was born in Tracy, Minn, where lie attended public grade school. Next he spent five years at Bethany. He first came to Northwestern in 1945 spending the sum­ mer quarter here. Then he returned for his sixth and last year at Bethany. After his graduation there he came back to Northwest­ ern for his Junior and Senior years. Stud is a very sound sleeper; his room mates or any former collegiate monitor will vouch for that. Whenever you licar an intellectual discussion or debate goinj^ on in llic d(»nn, very often Stud can be found to be in o 11 it, and no mailer what the subject under discussion, he usually holds his quite well. Perhaps his wide reading is responsible for this. After graduation here. Stud will work a year before entering the licthany Seminary in Mankato.

JOHN HERBERT LAU Although lie speaks of “Roscoe” with patriotic fervor, “Byd” was actually horn in Watertown (S. Dak.), and attained the high honor of being, valedictorian in the eighth grade. After four years at Mobridge, he considered changing his address to Northwest­ ern, (his physical make-up, however, is better suited to S. Dak.).

Having abandoned his violin for the more noble instrument, the clarinet, his uncle let him play in the band four years. For the same number of years he lent his outstanding voice to all of our choral organizations. For two years he served the Black & Red, and then became its editor. A charter member of Tres Artes.

Wouldn’t think of letting his class down for intra-mural support.

Despite his one-time broken nose, he bears a striking resemblance to Mickey Rooney, except for the style of clothes, which is dictzited by his pocket-book. Believes in shaving only when necessary (Sunday or an occasional date), and would favor a reverse to bearded faces in the custom of men’s appearance. One of the fam­ ous class of students who combined studies with shoe-fitting down­ town. Summers in Wisconsin, at Oakfield Canneries. He likes classical music, especially Brahms----- listens to opera on Saturday afternoons, claiming to know quite a few “libretti”. Would like to see music course at N.W.C. improved and augmented. Inclined to 78

9RED a teaching position, life at the Seminary may satisfy him for a while.

PAUL THEODORE RUEGE Born in the great Wisconsin metropolis—Milwaukee, Paul spent a few years there and then moved to the suburb West Allis.

Paul started his higher education in the preparatory department here. After completing the high school curriculum he set out a year when he attended Concordia in Milwaukee. lie returned to good old N.W.C. though, to finish his last three college years. Paul is about the least seen of all the seniors. He spenelp practically all of his afternoons working at a local firm and at night—well, he has other off-the-campus interests. When he is around he impresses one as a studious, quiet sort of person. Paul sang with the male chorus for almost a year but gave it up because of his other activities. His plans for next year are still indefinite, but he is very interested in teaching and would like to continue in that, field.

WERNOR EDGAR WAGNER •Willie” comes to us from Sebewaing, Michigan, up on Saginaw Bay in Lake Huron. He has the honor of being the smallest member of his class. He attended grade school in Sehewaing. first in a public school and later in a parochial school. He prepped four years at Michigan Lutheran Seminary in Saginaw. He was valuable to his class basketball team for his alertness and speed on the floor. When he lets loose his mischievousness, one is in for a good time, never knowing what to expect. He recently displayed his remarkable ability as a pick-pocket. Wernor will join his classmates at the Seminary in Thiensville next fall.

WILFRED A. WIETZKE The big blond from way out west, who is perhaps the only student who has ever gone through the collegiate department at Northwestern in three years, is the older of the two famous Wietzke brothers. Will left school after his Frosh year to serve in the armed forces during the last war. After a three year hitch, part of which was spent overseas with the First Armored Division and at Allied Forces Headquarters, he came back to Northwestern to com­ plete his work, the same good-natured, friendly fellow. Will entered the Junior class and made up the credits he needed to complcte the requirements for the Sophomore year. As for athletic ability, Will has his share and a couple of other guys’ to boot. As a regular for three years on the Gosling basketball team. Will with his smoothness, his deadly shooting accuracy, and his coolness in the clutches was a coach’s dream. He also gave his services to the 79

RED baseball team for two years and handled his chores as a regular first sacker with the greatest of ease. Will has sung second bass in the male chorus for two years and served for a year on the athletic board.

WILLIAM H. WIETZKE Duffer, the Colorado Kid, or just Billy, whatever you may call him, the Junior partner of the Wietzke brotherhood, is another man whose place will be hard to take both in the hearts of his fel­ low students and in the realm of athletic prowess. Billy is a real son of the West, and lie’ll pump you full of propaganda about the wide open spaces every time you even look in the direction of Col­ orado. Bill has been a charter member of the bed lovers since he came to us four years ago. He could be seen almost any morning at five minutes to eight dragging himself bleary-eyed to the wash­ room. But all the extra energy Bill stored up during those long hours of slumber enabled him to be one of the best athletes North­ western has had for many a moon. Bill used his six feet plus to the best advantage on the basketball court where for four years he was a nightmare to the opposition with his phenomenal scoring ability. Duffer held clown a starting spot for three years on the football team and has roamed the outer gardens for the baseball nine for two years. lie served two years on the staff of the B & R and has blended his bass into the male chorus for three years.

Northwestern says a fond farewell to the Wietzkes, Will and Bill.

DANGER n. e.

Just what it was no one seemed to be able to say: as far as physical form was concerned all was unknown. There was no strict form that it adhered to consistently; its size vacillated most of all. Strictly speaking it could be said to resemble least remote­ ly that class of stars known as Magna and Super-magna. Many of the white bearded sages that gathered to find an adequate explana­ tion for it said so too.

Until of course that day at high noon when it began to speak in a compelling, strident voice. The poor creatures that listened were powerless to resist. All they could do was cry: “Indeed, it is true!” That was the pity of the whole affair. They had no control over their emotions. One saw in it the salvation of the na­ tion ;another saw it for what it was but was carried away by the strident, sensational discords issuing from its mouth. Still another was l)ro\v-beaten into following the voice because of his pacific acceptance of what the so-called beings of higher intelligence deemed to be expedient for the common weal.

80

RED No one knew the source of the monster. Perhaps, some of the thinking ones said ,some Frankinstein had conjured up this prodi­ gy in a warped, and distorted mind. All anyone ever knew of a certainty was that it seemed to grow. First it was just a smolder­ ing globule of fire flitting about from city to city. But wherever it went, when a few of the city’s inhabitants would follow it (curi­ ously at first—then frantically as if they knew what the essence of it was) it would grow in size and brilliance till it became a crack­ ling, sizzling conflagration. Ravenously the mob, whose num1)ers grew by leaps and bounds to a fierce, Roman myriad, stiiinl)lc(l， shouted, waved flags, and raved after it.

Yet all it could say was: “Danger, danger, form an army!’’

The White-beards saw it approach一 “It is too distant to encroach Upon the lives of freedom loving men!”

For a long while they were right, and then— It came nearer and nearer.

Reclining smugly in their chairs They pretended not to see the first, faint flares Of bloody, bloody red nor smell the smell nor see the greenish glow of murder and of hell.

It became brighter and brighter.

Then the White-beards had to see the danger That was lurking in this stranger一 Thing with horrid, freezing rays that stopped Most sovreign, mortal reason till it merely hopped To the cadence of a marching-drum.

Yes, the White-beards saw it then, but they Were devoured with the rest of the docile clay.

There was no pallid, calm-before-the-stormIt was as if the monster had been born Within the matrix of a pale-veined nationalism And had transmuted its mother into militarism.

They saw it, but they were not all surprised Some had been conscious of it; others realized It had arrived in spite of all their wavings With stealthy, surreptitious flailings of the mind. Before its crippling rays Crept into the homes, minds, hearts of men; for clays They felt its eerie ,lurid heat until The ghost of its false dawn died, and with trill Of bugles on their minds it rose.

81

RED That morning when they woke it cast The flaying heat of its passion on the massed And helpless myriad of milling, wide-eyed, Hager, groping mobs, who though they feebly tried Did not emerge from that aura of blood.

Kven the sage and experienced only stood Shouting from traitor mouths: “Yes, it is thus; He is right: we must follow; come, lead us!”

Aye, when they heard that, some knew What this deadly monster was. Some few Rcmeml)crcd how like Caesar’s wounds, the poor, dumb Mouths: that other monster's victims cold, and numb In death gasped helplessly to cry; To warn the unsuspecting populace, but try As they would, the (liipcd, deluded race Would not give ear Inn only rushed pell-mell To be beaten senseless by the mace Of Despotism.

Alas, they did not know that day would mark The cml of all their liberty and carry in the stark, clanking, triple-forged chains of slaveryWould sing- the Swan-Song of personal bravery And make a machine of a man.

High noonthe people milled heedlessly bout, Then some looked up, and seeing it, gave a shout Of consternalion, for it hung with sun-ol)Scuring glow Above tlio streets till all below Could not but stop and ogle at what seemed To be a sizzling, crackling sun that flamed and filled the ether with its soul obliterating heat.

The time when baser appetites of men Are sharpened to the utmost-that is when The monster glowed more brightly; and it sjpoke: “I WILL HELP YOU THOUGH TM A STRA：NGER!” “DANGER, STRENGTHEN THE ARMY, DANGER!” Open-mouthed they gaped and gestured helplessly Straining, eager like a Bread- and - Circus mob That lusts to hear the will of this new Ceasar.

All it said was:

“I WILL HELP YOU THOUGH TM A STRANGER!” “DANGER, STRENGTHEN THE ARMY, DANGER!” Confusedly, dumbly nodding assent they stared Aghast, but the more they stared 82

RED The more it sizzled, crackled, screamed, and glared.

The houses lay silent and bared.

Naught but the shell of the nation was spared.

The people? All they could do was wave flags and chant: “He will help us!" and “He is no stranger”!’’

Danger, we must build an army, clanger!”

In endless columns they marched from the city Sans reason, sans freedom, sans will, and sans pity.

SONNET htf JOHN LAU

How dark and dismal loom the future years For one from whom all hope is gone away.

His once great hopes and plans—all disappears.

When hope, that guiding light, seeks to betray.

One who can hope is always glad of heart, Whatever his unkown future seems to be.

But disappointments come and heartaches start: Then hope, that fickle entity, doth flee.

But e’en though dead, one’s hope may once more flame And bring its joy ancl peace back to one’s heart.

And though its form may no more be the same, Far brighter dreams and plans it may impart.

Yes, hope may go away, and leave but pain, Yet when ’tis back, what heights one may attain!

A REVIEW OF ''LOOK HOMEWARD, ANGEL，

by RUTH PHELPS

Thomas Wolfe was twenty-eight years old. He had spent his youth in Asheville, North Carolina, gone to college at the State University, spent a year at Harvard, and lived in Paris ancl Lon­ don, when he submitted a manuscript of 350,000 words to a kind editor who helped him during a period of six months to fit ancl change it into a book. This was Look Homeward, Angel/* It was the story of Thomas Wolfe, under the name of Eugene Gant, in the successive phases on the way to manhood. He has depicted the life in this southern town so faithfully that when one salty old lady from the town read the book she wrote to him that ^al­ though she had never believed in the lynch law, she would do nothing to prevent a mob from dragging his ‘big overgrown karkus’ across the square.”

Thomas Wolfe in this novel records for us the thoughts and . reactions of an extremely sensitive boy. He vividly depicts Eu83

RED gene's father, Oliver Gant, a man who was continually inebriated and often violent, and his mother Eliza, a selfish and domineering woman. He aUrihutcd to this woman a heathenish pessimism char­ acteristic of the whole book. For when her young son died, he says, “t+hat, with a sudden inner flaming of clairvoyant Scotch soul, she had looked cleanly, without pretense for the first time, upon the inexorable tides of Necessity, and that she was sorry for all who had lived. were living, or would live, fanning with their prayers the useless altar flames, suppliant with their hopes to an unwitting spirit, casting the liny rockets of their belief against remote eternity, and hoping for grace, guidance, and delivery upon the spinning and forgotten cinder of this earth. O lost.”

This exclamation “O lost” occurs often in “Look Homeward, Angel.” It sometimes ends or introduces the many lyric passages in the book wliich are ])ure poetry. These lyric j^assages are usually general in significance and less significant in what they de­ clare than in wliat they imply. These passages and the stream of consciousness |iassages, some of which start from some event in the story and on in spotty, exclamatory fragments, although of­ ten excellent poetry, tend to make the book rather long and dis­ connected.

Wolfe's main fault, like that of so many of our modern authors, is his vulgarity. He gives the impression of relishing his vulgarity, since- he ascribes it repeatedly and at length to his main characters. Another of his faults is his habit of attributing to Eu­ gene during his childhood the thoughts of a mature ma i and not of a young hoy. This is most evident when he uses the aforemen­ tioned stream of consciousness technique.

But despite its pessimistic character, the book ends on a note of hope. Eugene, in his childhood ,had known love and security only through his friendship with his brother Ben. When his brot­ her died, what had made home endurable was withdrawn. Neverthcless, in the moving hallucination of the return of his spirit, Ben counsels his younger brother more intimately than ever before, leaving Eugene, “like a man who stands upon a hill above the town lie has left, yet does not say *The town is near’ but turns his eyes upon the distant soaring ranges.” For the time being his optimism is restored by the hope of a failure elsewhere.

UNIVERSAL MILITARY TRAINING .

«*y h.

SCHARLEMANN

Although the Universal Military Training issue has 1)ecm in the background for many years, it suddenly l)ecamc a major issue when the Chief Magistrate of the United States, the honorable President Truman, appointed a commission of civilians tu inquire whether the youth of this country needed somc form of compulsory training.

The commission was headed l)y Dr. Karl Compton, president of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Its members in­ cluded another college president, a former ambassador to Russia, a Catholic priest, a Protestant minister, a judge, a woman welfare worker, and a business man.

Briefly this is the plan provided for in the bill.

I Cost—The cost would 1)e anywhere from two to five billion dollars a year. This does not include the cost of aircraft, military research and intelligence.

II Number Trained—It is estimated that 1,200,000 teen-age Americans would become eligible for the TJ.M.T. each year, 200, 000 of whom would be mentally or physically disqualified to take

85

RED the training and another 150,000 of whom would enlist for a period ’in the Army in preference to being called up for U.M.T. Of the remaining 850,00 it is planned that the Army would train 432,000 per yea r, and the Navy would train 232,000 and the Air forces 186, 000 per year. 川Organization—These youths would not be part of the armed forces of the Army or of the Navy. They would be members of a new organization called the Security Training Corps.

IV Supervision—The Army and the Navy would train the men i)i camps or on ships. But the men could not be used for service inside or outside the U.S. except in case of national emergency and then only by a special act of Congress.

V Drafting—Draft boards would induct the men for training.

All youths 17-18 would register but only those 18-20 could be drafted. Sonic other training would be worked out for the scientious ol)jcclors and the physically unfit.

VI Defcrnionts—An eighteen-year old in high school would be deferred until he finished school or reached twenty, which ever were first.下lu.rc. would be deferments for extreme hardship cases.

All veterans would l)e exempt.

VII Salary -Thirty dollars a month. Tf the trainee had a deIjcndent he would still ^et his thirty dollars and the dependent would receive fifty dollars a month.

VIII Train—Each draftee would get six months military training- in a cani|) or on a ship. But after six months he would not be linisbcd. He would still owe six months service, which he could take in the National Guard, or in some reserve officers train­ ing corps, appointment to the U.S. Military Academy, or enlistment * the regular Army. In the training process there \yould be no m “dirty fighting’’ drills, bayonet training, or any exercise designed to instill in the heart of a trainee that certain hatred for the ene­ my and a desire to kill. ^ This report of the President’s commission on the U.M.T.，if accepted and enacted into law, would certainly change the charac­ ter of our democracy and virtually destroy the chances of prevent­ ing a third world war to come very suddenly, The report is based on the clearly implied, though not stated, assumptions that a) the division of the world into two conflicting spheres of power is a fact now. b) the achievement of even a semblance of peace must l)e given up already, c) war with Russia with­ in a decade or two is inevitable.

From this the conclusion is drawn that the U.S. must begin now total preparation for atomic warfare. It then proceeds to ar­ gue that this nationalistic preparation for war is actually sound in­ ternationalism, the only way to avert war and to make the United Nations effective.

86

，RED I Argumenta Pro Causa 1一The U.M.T. would shorten the time in which our effective fighting force could be mobilized in case of 'var. ■ 2—It would give our young men the essentials of military training that would be the basic prerequisite for technical, special­ ized or unit training in an emergency.

3—The U.M.T. would make possible an eUective National Guard and an organized Army, Navy, and Marine reserves cap­ able of rapid absorption into the professional military establish­ ment in time of war. .

4—It would improve the efficiency, quality and alertness of the regular forces in peace time.

5—It would help produce qualified reserve officers in numbers that would assist in meeting the officers’ requirements of the reg­ ular services and the civilian components and to staff the forces needed after M-Day in any future war .

6—The U.M .T. presents additional opportunities for inculcat­ ing moral ideas in support of the American democracy.

7—The U.M.T. would establish a pool of young-, physically fit and trained reserves who could be mobilized quickly.

8—It could provide a large trained group in every community capable of withstanding and dealing- with the problems of civilian defense and mass disaster resulting1 from severe bombing, attack.

9—The U.M.T. would provide a mechanism that could be converted immediately into a wartime selective system, and it would make possible a continuous inventory of military skills and leadership qualities that could be used advantageously in making military assignments should war come.

10—It helps to channel qualified young men into programs of scientific and vocational training in fields important to national defense.

11— The U.M.T. would bring together young Americans from all parts of the nation to share a common experience and to fulfil a common obligation to their country, thus contributing1 to National unity, the foundation of our security.

12—The U.M.T. can give greater military strength at less cost than would 1)e provided by exclusive reliance on a large standin尺 military force, since it would be impossible to obtain enough volunteers for the professional force required for adequate defense 》iid since the cost would overburden the National economy even if such a force could be raised.

II Argumenta Contra Causam The U.M.T. • commission proceeds on the assumption that “the greatest contribution to perpetual peace” lies in overwhelming' natj‘onal military strength. Since every nation believes itself to be “peace loving*' such an argument is certain to be used by more

87

RED than one nation. The result is bound to be an intensified arma.•…that would kill the U. N. The commission almost ments race comes out in favor of the U. S. starting a third world war in order to keep j)eace.

The U.M.T. is an outmoded form of military preparation in this atomic age and gives a nation a feeling of power without the reality of power.

There arc two possible uses for the boys who have had Univcrsal Military Training: a) as replacements and reserves for the regular Armed Forces, b) as a Home Defense force.

The report proceeds on the assumption that the United States would have little or no warning of war. If it were to assume that wc would have six months’ or more warning, it would also have to admit that training could be given then. The report fails to deal with the important question of how the U.M.T. boys would be­ come replacements. It states “replacements of men and material would bt* necessary from the first day of fighting”. This refers to General Eisenhower's statement that the decision of a future war would be determined by our ability to act or react in the first sixty clays. Yet it also says “U.M.T. will not in itself give us men ready to take their place as members of organized units in the early days of a war”.

Military men such as Admiral Halsey have indicated that an atomic war could not possibly last six months. Yet the commission proceeds, on the assumption of atomic warfare, to outline a pro­ gram for U.M.T. graduates that wouFcl take a year or more to get under way. i as a Home The second possible use for the U.M.T. boys is Defense Force. The commission, recognizing the problem of ra(lio activity in an atomic war, suggests that the boys be equipped with Geiger counters and other specialized materials. The report didn’t indicate whether each of the eight million boys would have his equipment stored in some underground place far enough from the city that the materials would be free of destruction and radio activity. Everything recommended in the way of aiding a bombed community could be better and more efficiently handled by vol­ unteers, skilled workers, than by military units which have had six ’ months，training.

The “benefits” of the U.M.T. are questionable.

1一It would give “the essentials of soldiering”. The training to think like soldiers and to develop habit responses to the comniands of superior authority is the kind of training that would ill time change our country from a nation of free men to one where unquestioning obedience was expected of all. The nation which loses the sense of individual responsibility and relies on the army 88

5MIED to teach duty cannot long survive without extending to other areas of life the principle of compulsion.

2—The U.M.T. would familiarize boys with the ''handling of weapons”. Aside from the fact that weapons continually change, it is doubtful whether most of these boys would ever use the wea­ pons. For example General Marshall rq:)orted that out of fourteen millions in the armed forces only 1,500),000 were combat troops.

These required 66,000,000 civilian workers to supply them. The ratio of suppliers was one to forty-four. Yet the U.M.T. wants everyone to learn to handle weapons.

3—Another so called “benefit” “would make possible the selection of those youths who display the rudiments of lcadersliip”.

This would be a disaster ,not a benefit to the nation, for the Army could select cream of the crop and transfer them from civilian to military activities .thereby making the nation’s leadership controlled by the military power.

A—The U.M.T. would interest parents and the general pub­ lic in the Army and problems of the Army and aid in recruitment.

Such things would tend to indoctrinate the nation with military ideas.

5—The U.M.T. would channel talented young men into a pro­ gram of scientific and vocational training in fields important in national defense. The Army, in other words, would have first claim on the nation’s talent. This could only lead to further military control over science and education.

6~The final “ benefit” listed is that the U.M.T. would throw all young men together and thus develop national unity. The commission dicl not stop to consider whether such throwing together of young men produced national unity in France where the con­ trary certainly was true.

The Universal Military Training not only would militarize our education by reaching eventually into the high school, it would also force the colleges to run their schedule to fit the government’s training program, and finally the program would also militarize religion by bringing the boys to church. It will be a sad day for the church when it must look to the army for converts. Moreover the Army plans to select or help to select the men to become min­ isters, priests, or rabbis.

In closing, the advocators of the U.M.T. state that if we get “•an effective United Nations” U.M.T. would be quickly abandoned since it “has no proper place in American life except to the extent that the national security demands it”. In view of this fact that a conclusive case for the U.M.T., as an essential national security, cannot be established it would be better never __ to begin a system that “has no proper place in the American life”.

Jhttarial The Chapel Organ ...

GAIN, I have gone into the files of the B & R, and what I 3 have to say now was suggested by an editorial in the issue of October, 1941. It was entitled Concerning the Organ in the Prep Chapel,M written in two parts by two different people, “Part I: The Disease” discussed briefly the two main defects of the organ. One was the matter of coupling the pedals with the manual, the other the lack of sufficient volume for two rooms and 170 (now over 200) voices. “Part II: The Cure” suggested a remedy for the first by using wire couplers instead of wooden sticks.

A remedy for the lack of volume was also discussed; namely, that of installing, in addition to the six soft sets of pipes the manual keys now have, a set of open diapason pipes, the loudest type of pipes used in an organ. This would entail great expense.

Be that as it may, there was one statement made by the writer of Part I and agreed with by the writer of Part II with which 90

RED I strongly disagree. I realize I am attacking something written nearly seven years ago by two people who are no longer here to discuss the matter and defend their opinions. Nevertheless, it is a pertinent question, and the other side deserves consideration, too.

I quote from Part I: “I wish to remind you that \ve are not ask­ ing for new organs. We feel that whatever money is ' available for the purchase of new organs should really go to Dr. Martin Luther College, for the training of our future church organists.” Dr. Mar­ tin Luther College is my Alma Mater, and I would he among the last to take anything away from it that would better the school and be of benefit to its students. But, why could not and should not Northwestern College have at least one good organ ? To make a really good organ out of the one we have here now would cost far more than the organ is worth. Tlie Lutheran Church is the church in which music plays perhaps a greater role than in any other church. Why can’t our college for preparing- Lullieran iiiinisters have one good organ ? We have students here wlio are good organists. But it is certainly no pleasure to play on the dilapidated instrument we have in our prep chapel. Why should Dr. Martin Luther College receive all available organ funds?

The statement I quoted could be taken lo imply that organs for our schools are purchased from a general synod fund. This, however, is not true. Such instruments are purchascd out of the music funds of each respective school. This being' the case, what then does the writer mean when he says: “Whatever money is available for the purchase of new organs should reall)y go to Dr. Martin Luther College."? Surely he does not mean that we are going to take money out of our Northwestern College Music Fund to buy organs for Dr. Martin Luther College! Dr. Martin Luther College has and will buy Us own organs. And if we arc to have a decent one. it is going to have to come from our own funds.

Since we have not sent money to another school for organs, nor do we have a good organ of our own, it is apparent then that we have not had “money available for the purchase of new organs. Perhaps the reason for this is that as far as the music de­ partment of our school is concerned, the organ is relatively insignifirant. 1 here are no organ instructions given here, and hence relatively little practicing is done. I am not advocating an enlargement of the music department to include this. Though it would be very desirable, this is not possible at this time. But I would like to see started an Organ Fund for Northwestern College.

I would like to interest students, alumni, and friends of North­ western College in this. Northwestern College, our synod's school for preparing its ministers, ought to have one good organ.

RED Centenarian ... wIIIS IS the year of the Wisconsin State Centennial. In 100 f years of statehood Wisconsin has developed into one of the leading states of the nation. Nicknamed the “Badger State,’， that indicates already that the history of Wisconsin as a state is interesting. It is interesting in both fact and legend. The pre-state­ hood background of Wisconsin, from the time when the first white man came in 1635 up to 1848, in itself already begins the early chapters of a highly romantic and colorful history, This interesting developmcMit and advancement of the state continued after 1848 to the present (lay. True to its motto—Forward—Wisconsin has been a progressive state.

Wisconsin is an agricultural state. Except for the northern part of the state where is located what remains of the vast expanse of forest that once covered the whole of the state, one can see prosperous dairy farms wherever one goes. Not without basis has Wisconsin been called the dairy state of America. As such Wis­ consin is renowned for its cheese. Always willing to learn, the Wisconsin farmer receives much helpful advice from the state de­ partment of agriculture.

Wisconsin also has much industry. The industries center chief­ ly in the larger cities of the southeastern section of the state. Pro­ ducts manufactured in the state are too numerous to even begin mentioning here. Bordering on Lake Michigan, Wisconsin also lias access to the Great Lakes trade routes, its chief port, of course, being Milwaukee. Farther north the paper industry is still a thriv­ ing business.

Last but not least, Wisconsin is a very scenic state. Go through the state parks, hike along the lake, visit the northern woods, or even drive through the countryside, and you will see what a variety of scenes and panoramas will meet your eyes. Wisconsin is beauti ful. It is the playground of the Middle West. Whether you hunt, fish, ski, toboggan, or whatever other sport you may pursue, Wis­ consin with its woods and lakes and hills provides just the spot you are looking for.

This year the governor of Wisconsin has declared May 29 a state holiday ,for it was on that day, 100 years ago, that this state was admitted into the union.

“Hail to thee! On, Wisconsin!

Report on C.A.R.E. # HIS year the students of N.W.C, collected money for the Ger­ man relief. The collections were takcMi every monili and the money used for the purchasing of C.A.R.E. packages. In the six collections taken the total sum of $255.47 was sent in. For May 岑32.00 was turned in, which ended the program fur tlic school year. All in all, the students responded very cooperatively to this method of helping our needy fellow students over in Europe. Sev­ eral letters were received from the Lutherische Thcolo^ischc Hochschule, where most of the packages were sent. These letters ex­ pressed the sincere thanks of the students and also described the unsettled conditions and hardships they are going through over there.

May the students of N.W.C. continue this charitable work next fall.

RED Movies ...

On May 19 the second last film in this year’s scries was shown in the iyin. The feature was “The Last Days of Pompeii”，with Preston Poster and Basil Rathbone. As usual, the only thing the show has in common with the book is the title, but this time the producers are honest enough to warn us in the introduction that such is the case*. In the course of the story we get an interesting picture of life in the Roman Empire in the First Century A. D. The hero's rise from poor blacksmith to successful gladiator to slaver to horse thief to rich thief of the arena gives an opportunity for presenting several spectacles, the most interesting being the same one that the Pompeian mob enjoyed in the arena. We meet Pontius Pilate, too, and he is given a very sympathetic treatment.

A certain unnamed "greatest man in Judea” also receives a nice sugary, kid-gloves treatment. All in all, though it was good entertainment ami was apprecialed as such.

The sceond film was (listril)uted by the iWsconsin State Centennial Committee. It was a poor job of advertising either the state or its centennial. To show how great a state Wisconsin is, first her government was eulogized, and then a bill was traced through the legislature to show just how it works. This included endless repition. Much better material could easily have been found.

Also shown was a short reel that was taken on our campus on Arbor Day. There were shots of both students and faculty, working; at times, but usually resting or eating. Several of the cos­ tumes, especially that cap, photographed especially well.

Music in the Air . • ■ T’S CONCERT time again as the musical organizations of N.W.C. prepare to take the stand for the commencement concert on June 9. The program, as is custoniary for the final concert, will be an all-secular one. We hope you’ll enjoy it.

By far the most active group at the end of this school year was the band. The band appeared in concert on May 9. With that concert over, the group had yet to look forward to the annual park concert and a trip to Winona, Minnesota. Some time later it was announced that the band would also march in the Memori­ al Day parade. That meant quite frequent marching drills. But from all if this students derive both benefit and pleasure.

The week-end of June 5-6 the band made a trip to Winona.

The only thing that could possibly have marred the excursion was the fact that the trip fell right during exam week. A bus was char­ tered lo transport the group. The band consists oC thirty-three members this year, plus, of course, the director, drum major, and' two color-bearers.

All the choruses have a fairly large membership this year.

The Prep chorus leads them all with approximately sixty-three voices. The mixed chorus is composed of about fifty-three sing­ ers, thirteen of whom are males. The male chorus has in its ranks around forty-nine voices. If figures speak, it seems musical inter­ est is somewhat on an increase, and we hope it continues in that direction.

All these organizations have one thing in common, their di­ rector, Prof. Oswald. He devotes his untiring efforts to the bet­ terment of the musical groups, and his patience, often taxed to the utmost, is unlimited. Directing rehearsals of four organiza95

RED tions combined with other professorial duties is enough to keep any man busy.

On Wednesday, June 9, at 8:00 P. M., you may hear these groups, together with some additional student talent, perform in the commenccMiient concert in our gymnasium. Plan to attend. The program follows: PREP CHORUS All Through The Night …„ Kemo Kimo ......................

How to make enemies and infuriate people (Six short rules for dorm residents that will assure their practitioner an early demise).

Rule 1: Make it your unfailing- practice to shave with an electric razor sometime between one and five P. M. on Sunday after­ noons.

Rule 2: Pull the fire alarm at 4:00 A. M. every morning for a week.

Rule 3: Flood each of the wash rooms at least once a week.

Rule 4: Take the plugs out of all the wash bo'vls and hide them in the attic.

Rule 6: Break every new shaving light the first day it is installed.

Rule 6: Blow reveille eleven times each Sunday morning at 6:00 A.M. SLIVER-TONED SOPHS— The Sophomores have had trouble all year in making them­ selves understood during their English period. Most of the boys will admit that they very often use a boudoir tone in answering the Prof’s questions. The cause can, in many instances, be attri­ buted to the fact that when in doubt a student will often answer in a softer, less firm manner. Perhaps he hopes that the Prof will hear only what is right or else he may be trying to convince him103

RED self that he’s got t'he right answer. The only Soph who apparent­ ly has always been understood is Miss Gertrude Eggert. Yes sir， she's got real timber in her voice.

June 27 is D-day for Bill Zell. On that day of clays our tu­ tor will pass from 1>lisful lmchclorlioocl into woeful wedlock. He seems to be enjoying llie idea of being chained down though, and no one can convince him that lie is taking the fatal step into the realm of hall aurl cliainery. We all hope that he may have a happy and blessed marriage.

The band is marching again this spring and at its head will be Jerry Pankoxv, its newly elected drum major. Although he may not be as shapely as some of the majorettes I’ve seen, Jerry can handle the band very well as it performs its intricate marching maneuvers, and lie should make one fine major. I’m sure all who have seen him strut his stuff will agree.

Jokes? ? ?

Prof: And this millionaire made his money in steel.

Student: What did he steal ?

Director: Those last few measures sounded terrible; let’s start again at L. Bassoon PI aver: That's what it sounds like.

Ode on a cloud of smoke: I took a drag- on a cigarette, I blew blue smoke in the air.

It twisted and squirmed.

It spiraled and wormed.

Then it vanished and was no more there.

New perfumes that have made a hit with the boys: Evening in a Pool Room Limburger no. 4^ Snafu I hope you all have fun this summer and make lots of money.

I’ll be seeing you come next fall. But to you Seniors who won’t be back, may you find life at the Sem eveii^ more pleasant than it was at dear old N.W.C. Stay healthy, happy, and strong and always remember these words of wisdom from the lips of the im­ mortal poet Side Burns: “always go forward and you’ll never go backwards.”

處瞧s After a week of rain Northwestern's varsity baseball team swung back into the victory column by defeating Milton's Wild­ cats 7-2 in a game played on the N.W.C. diamond.

The Northwestern batsmen lost little time in giving Pitcher Jim Fricke a good lead to work on. Six of the seven runs were scored in the first three innings before Milton could score. Frickc was far off his usual good form but still managed to scatter six hits.

Three hits and a walk were good enough to produce a threerun advantage for the collegians in the initial stanza. A pass to lefty Jim and Zarling’s hit put men on first and second with one out. Neither runner could advance on Will Wictzke's fly to center, but Pankow sent a sharp drive over the second haseman's head to score Fricke. A passed hall let Zarling score from third. Bill Wietzke drove in the third counter with a clean single to center.

The next inning the Wildcats donated another run when Bitter singled and went all <the way around on a pair of errors. The third inning gave two more runs for the locals. Two men were out when Bill Wietzke walked and Strohm followed with a single to right.

Kaiser then lifted one into the right field atmosphere, so both runners scored. Bitter concluded the scoring in the sixth by hitting a double and then going home on an infield out and a passed ball.

Fricke was robbed of his second straight shut out when two walks, a hit batter and a single produced two runs.

Pankow and Bitter shared batting honors with a double and a single each.

NORTHKWESTERN NETMEN WIN AGAIN Northwestern's tmnis team rang up its second victory of the season by l)recv.in^- lo an easy 7-0 decision over an outclassed squad of Mission House Muskies. This whitewashing marked the elev­ enth consecutive .sporis encounter in which the Black and Rcclmen have trimmed their once respected arch rivals from the north dur­ ing- the past several years. The invaders were so outclassed that they were unable to save even a single set. Only teen sets went more than nine games, that coming when Northwestern's miml)ei. two and four men combined against the Huskies one and two men in doubles.

Malchow defeated Zimmerman 6-2, 6-3.

Sellnow defeated Freiherr 6-0, 6-3.

P. Eickmann defeated Helming 6-2，6-2.

Eickmann defeated Helming-Spatt 6-2, 6-3 NUMBER THREE FOR NETMEN flaking off with three of the five single matches, Northwest­ ern's net men squeezed through with a hard fought 4-3 victory over the University of Wisconsin Extension team at Milwaukee. The win gave the Goslings a three and one record with one match reniaining- before the conference meet in Milwaukee. __ Danny Malchow started the collegians off right by defeating K^n Ohm, last year’s Milwaukee Suburban League’s champ, by 7-5，6-4. Don Sellnow and Paul Eickmann dropped decisions, but Carl Nommensen and Jim Eickmann came through with victories.

HOUSE OF MY DAYDREAMS WKSTERHAUS

While rambling one day along the eastern shore of Lake Schoosic in central Maine, I came upon a large house which cap­ tured my imagination to such an extent that I can to this day, in my mind's eye, look at and walk through it and its surroundings with as much enjoyment as I did on that day when I first saw it.

It was quite apparently uninhabited, and both the weather and the attacks of youthful explorers had left their mark on it. But, no matter how great its state of disrepair, and no matter how appar­ ent the deeds of vandalism, the house and its surroundings left with but one impression, namely, that for spending a quiet and pleasant summer vacation this place was almost perfect.

The house stood on a knoll overlooking a small lake which nestled among the hills which border Lake Schoosic on the east.

This small lake was oval in shape, and was about 150 yards wide and from 350 to 400 yards long. It lay parallel to the larger lake and was separated from it only by a narrow, tree-covered ridge.

About 500 yards out on Lake Schoosic, stretching from close to the southern shore to a point about 200 yards north of the tip of the small lake, lay an island, equal to the small lake in width.

Viewed from the house, this scene gave the appearance of three separate, successively larger bodies of water, with thin strips of 108

■

:

RED land between them, all framed in by a heavy stand of hardwood and pine. This scene was, to my eyes at least, the most beautiful and breathtaking in that part of the state.

I now centered my interest on the house. It was a large frame house, and was evidently designed for utility and comfort rather than beauty, being box-shaped with wide porches on three sides.

Seeing that the front cloor had been knocked in, I entered and found myself in what must have been the living room. It was a spacious room with several large windows, those on the front open­ ing out upon the scene which I described above. The floor, which was littered with broken glass and ^ld newspapers, and the panel­ ing and other woodwork were of the finest hardwood, and were still in excellent condition in spite of exposure to the weather. On the wall opposite the door was a wide, natural-stone fireplace. To one side stood a grand piano, surprisingly enough not badly out of tune and still able to produce a good tone. Opposite the piano, a wide staircase led upstairs. I went up and found four large bed­ rooms, each of them equipped with a large, expensive-looking bed and a mattress. Two of them had large windows, offering the same scene which I described before. The bathroom, although lacking the most modern of equipment had no doubt been up to date when built. Returning to the first floor, I entered the dining room and found its furnishings to be of the same high quality as those of the other rooms. The kitchen also was well equipped, containing a stove and an icebox. In the basement I found a furnace, a water pump to run the water system in the house, and a generating plant to supply current for the electrical appliances.

Next I inspected the sheds around the house. They were all well built, and one of them was large enough to be converted into a workshop or even a bunkhouse if such a need should present it­ self. Farther removed from the house, stood a two-car garage.

From it, twisting this way and that through the woods, a drive led to the highway which passed by about a quarter-mile to the east. A zig-zag walk led from the house to a boathouse thirty or forty feet below on the shore of the little lake. There were two boats inside, but neither of them was seaworthy.

When the house had been built, the knoll on which it stands had been cleared of trees. The clearing had been landscaped and some of the shrubs and a few traces of what had once been gar­ dens could still be seen. At the south end of the clearing I noticed a large tank and a windmill. These had, no doubt, been used to supply water for the house and for the gardens. I climbed up the windmill, which was 60 ft. high, and was treated to a view even more impressive that that which had met my eyes on the ground in front of the house. To the west stretched that picturesque com109

%

RED bination of woods and water which had so thrilled me when I first reached the house. Off to the northwest, lying on a steep hillside, looking out over the lake from which it got its name, was the vil­ lage of Schoosic. In all the other directions, reaching to the hori­ zon, were heavy woods, broken here and there by the sparkling waters of small lakes scattered about.

By now the sun approaching the horizon over Lake Schoosic. As I slowly climbed clown from the windmill and headed for home, my mind was busily engaged finding ways to repair the house and its surroundings, for I had half made up my mind to make this place my own if at all possible. But after thinking about it for a while the thought occurred to me that if this place were obtainable, someone would surely have bought it by now.

This put a stop to the fanciful flights of my imagination, and I de­ cided to forget the matter until I had learned more about the his­ tory of the place.

I inquired among the older inhabitants of the region and fin­ ally was able to piece together the story of the deserted house.

During llie clays of prohibition, a bootlegger whose name has already passed into oblivion, was looking for a place to spend the summer. Bcinj^ struck by the impressive beauty of this site, he decided to build his summer home here. Since he hacl money to burn, he spared no expense in obtaining the utmost in com fort and enjoyment. When the house was finished, the bootlegger and his secretary moved in. But their life of pleasure was to be of short duration, for one day several big black cars came driving lip the road which led through the woods and stopped in front of the ga­ rage. The F.B.I. had arrived on the scene! In a matter of minutes they arrested the bootlegger and his secretary and were off again.

Since then the place has not been occupied. The bootlegger died in prison, leaving no settlement of his estate. It is now impossible to obtain a clear title to the place. My hopes of having the place for my own were now shattered.

Ancl yet, I have not lost this summer home which so captured Whenever I am overcome by the my imagination completely.… urge to let my imagination run along unbridled, I return, in my mind’s eye to this palace for summer pleasures. And there, while wandering through the house and over the grounds, I see the house as it might have looked years ago when it was last inhabited, or 1 plan the improvements which I would have made had this house of my daydreams become mine.

RED WHY LUTHERAN?

by W R.

Why do I belong to a Lutheran church ? How niany of us can give the answer that we should give to this question? Perhaps in many cases it is because our parents were Lutherans and we have been baptized and brought up in this church. That is fine. But can we l)e satisfied with just this answer:? Let us look around ourselves. We find literally thousands of religions. Narrowing these down to the Christian religions we find still many diflcrent churchcs. Now why do I belong to a Lutheran church, particularly a Lutheran church of the Synodical Conference?

I recently became acquainted with a man wlio, although he is still listed as a member of a large Presbyterian Church in one of our country’s larger cities，has at present no church connections to speak of. When lie learned that I am preparing for the minis­ try, he began telling me of his church connections in the past. He had been brouglit up in a Lutheran Church of one of the larger Lutheran bodies in this country (not the Synodical Conference).

He said he feels “that the church should fill some spiritual need" in mail’s life. This indeed is very true. But his later church life indicates that he neither knew what his spiritual need was, nor was lie able to find a church that could fill his spiritual need after he left the Lutheran church. The fact that he later joined the Pres­ byterian Church is evidence that his own Lutheran church had not helped him.

He met and married a Baptist girl. They both realized this one important thing: that a common religion is essential to a happy home. He did not want to join the Baptist Church, and he thought that his wife should not do all the giving up, so they decided they would go to various churches, find one they liked, and then both join that church. In the Presbyterian Church they found “ a most cordial welcome, weekly lectures on subjects of present clay interest, and social activities carried on in the church parlors several nights a week.” All these things did not fill his spiritual need either, for he now goes to no church, but lives according to his own rules, which he thinks arc pretty good.

The sad fact to note in this mail’s religious adventure, if we may call it that, is that he did not find what he needed in his own Lutheran church. The Liberalistic and Modernistic tendencies creeping into some Lutheran bodies is ever increasing, and some of them are not at all worthy to be called Lutheran.

What makes a church worthy of the:name Lutheran ? A church is worthy of the name Lutheran if it teaches the Word of God in all its truth and purity as Luther did. He relied upon 111

RED Scripture alone; he added nothing to it nor took anything from it, and he made no compromises. The Bible was his sole guide for every problem life lias to offer. In the pure Word of God, he found what lie wanted: relief from the torments of sin, lhe comforling asurancc that he was saved through Christ’s suffering and death.

Gods own Son took our sins upon Himself and atoned for them before the just and righteous God. Now we can approach I-fim pure and holy and sinless, confident that we arc saved. All this is through no worthiness of our own, luit it is entirely the gift of a gracious God through the work of the Holy Ghost. This blessed truth which was l)cing obscured and crowded out of the Church at his time Lutlicr preached lo any and all who would hear it, and who were much in need of it.

Now why am I a mem1)er of a Lutheran church? It is because our I.uthcran duirch continues to preach and teach the unadulter­ ated Word of (Jod, the message of sin and ^racc, the sweet Gospel truili of salvation by j^racc through Christ Jesus. This and this alone can fill our spiritual needs. Because I have this in the Luthcran church I i niemhcr of this church. And through church preparing for llie Lutheran ministry, will help I, and lhe rest uf to e.xlcud God's kingdom by spreading this Gospel message of Christ throughout the world.

THE LIGHT IN THE WINDOW

by P. E.

Harold Otterby was a very earnest young man. During the day lie worked at Kroner's Furniture Mart; at night he shut him­ self up in his tiny study and read. Harold had a girl, but he didn’t allow himself to go out except on weekends. He stayed in a rented room, in a section of town that was practically filled with drab houses advertising on drab signs ‘‘Room and Board/* His lanclladv was a pleasant-voiced widow who jjre'v petunias: across the street was another rooming-house, slightly larger, but also slight­ ly older, whose widowed owner grew petunias, too.

Harold was studying to 1)e an accountant. Three years of correspondcncc courses and one year of residence, said the University’s catalog. Harold was in his third year. If it hadn't been for the window across the street, he knew he wouldn't have got that far.

He had discovered the window early in his first year, and it had been his greatest com fort and encouragement—excepting of course his girl. In the rooming-house across the street, on the second floor, behind the fourth window from the left, the light 112

!

RED burned far into the night. Harold never found out just how late the man across the street studied, for whenever lie raised the shade, there it would be; at nine o’clock, at eleven o’clock, far after mid­ night the light burned.

Harold Otterby was earnest and determined: lie also had a strong competitive spirit. “If that fellow across the street can do it, so can I,” he said to himself. One night he tried to outlast his unknown friend. At 2:30 Harold dozed: when lie awoke his watch said 4:00. The light was still on. Harold went to bed with greater admiration for his neighbor than he had had before. Whenever he felt discouraged and tired of books, all he had to do was pull back bis curtain; the warm light coming through the windowshade across the street always raised his spirits, for lie knew that his neighbor was working too.

The three years of correspondence-school passed; Harold went away to school. He had never attempted to meet the man across the street. For one thing, he was too shy to ask the landlady about him; for another, he knew that it would be dillicult to explain even if he should meet the man.

A year later Harold Otterby graduated from the University and came back to his old rooming house. He was engaged to be married, and was happier than he had ever been before. Harold still remem1)erecl that he owed some of his happiness to a light that had burned in a window across the street. He had to say thank you.

The widow who ran the rooming-house across the street was very obliging—so much so that Harold told her the whole story.

“It’s the fourth room on the left side of the second floor. Who lives there?” he asked.

The widow thought a minute, looked at him rather strangely, and then began to smile.

“Land sakes, boy, that's the bathroom. Wc leave that light on all night,” ，

RED THE ''LABORATORY" COMPOSER JONATHAN SCHALLER

The majority of musical audiences has always hated changes一 changes from the accustomed style of musical composition trt a style which it calls radical. This has been the situation since the first new advance in music was shyly suggested and boldly attempled. J. S. Bach, today recognized as one of the greatest of all composers, was at his time ignored and criticized. Beethoven was a radical in his day: today we know and realize his greatness.

Criticism has always come first, fair recognition last. If those who call tlicmselves music lovers would attempt to understand the purpose of the composer, would listen with no prepared prejudice, would withhold criticism until the **strangeM music has been given a chance to justify itself, much of this unnecessary, often brutal and unfoiuuled criticism would he avoided. This constant hatred of a musical public for the new, this love for the continuance of the old, has made the lives of true, sincere, hard working composers difficult and disappointing.

The musical public of today has not changed from that of past cent,uries. Tlie newspaper critics thrive on any criticism which they can find for a new piece of music. The people too seem to find pleasure in being as narrow as possible in their consideration of a new piece. On the other side, the composer himself is not in­ vited into the music circles of the already recognized musicians.

These whose music was at one time strange, who themselves were unknown to the world ,have forgotten their own former insecurity and now refuse to help their common friend—a new, struggling composer. Yet above these trials many composers have risen to proclaim to the world their new ideas, musical ideas which seem at first radical, but, having passed successfully the test of time, have become to musical ears conservative and acceptable as true musical thought. Such a composer is the experimenter, Sergei Prokofiev.

In his laboratory this now recognized Russian composer has discovered many new combinations of musical ingredients. His life has been a constant striving for perfection, an ever seeking for what is new. In his early years of study he was already op­ posed to romantic and classical music, and was coining under the sway of the ultra-modernistic ideals. In his experimenting he has originated a new system of score-writing. He writes all his instru­ ments as they sound on the piano, and leaves the job of transpos-ing the corresponding parts to a copyist. His original harmonies, which began in his days of study at the St. Petersburg conserva­ tory, were not at all appreciated by his teachers, Lyadov, Rimsky114

RED Korsakov, and Glazunov. But he continued to fight for his new, original ideas.

In 1911 Prokofiev made his public debut as a symphonic composer. The very next year his first concerto was presented. The musical critics were divided in their opinion, hut with the general public he seems to have made quite an impression, especially with his piano playing. Again at the performance of his second con­ certo in 1913 his music was received with hostility by most of the critics. Nevertheless, upon his graduaiion from the conservatory， he won first prize for piano, much to the disgust of Glazunov.

Prokofiev had now come into his own. He began to compose with conviction. His fascination for the ballet and opera revealed itself in his coining compositions, among which were ‘•The Gamlilers，’ an opera, and the **Scythian Suite,” which reveals the na­ tionalism of Prokofiev which springs from the very beginning of the Russian people. As an answer to his critics he wrote one of his most delightful and popular compositions, the ..Classical Symphony.” His idea was to wirte a classical symphony “as Haydn might have written it had he lived in our day/' In 1918, during the Revolution, Prokofiev came to America, hi this country he wrote his most popular opera, “The Love for Three Oranges.M In 1920 he left the U.S., sure that it had nothing to ofTcr him. But he returned several times from Europe to give recitals and to see about the productions of some of his operas. Finally, in 1932, he returned to his native land.

His first work written on his return was “Lieutenant Kije.”

In 1936 appeared his famous symphonic composition for children, "Peter and the Wolf." Again and again Prokofiev went into his laboratory and brought out new compositions. Among them were his "Cantata Written for the TwentietH Anniversary of the October Revolution,” and his music for the film ''Alexander Nevsky.”

Following the Second World War has come one of Prokofiev’s greatest works, his Fifth Symphony. This may well be a summi up of all that has gone before. Through exactness and tireless fort he lias ascended to this point, having perhaps reached the height of his creative powers. He has won world recognition in his continuous struggle for originality, for something new in music. His musical future seems bright and hopeful "m a country which had some of the greatest of musical heritages. If not hamp­ ered l)y unfair criticism, he may yet mix his test tubes and give to the msuical world yet greater more original music.

^bitartal Once Again NOTHER summer has come and gone and students find themselves rudely torn from their world of dreams only to be transplanted f)ehiml a desk laden with books of learn­ ing. All have come to advance their education one more year. Some students have returned pessimists ,others optimists, and new studebits certainly have awaited the opening day of school with antici­ pation of their new adventure.

Many and various jobs have been left behind perhaps with some reluctance, but I dare say that all students return to school with a certain degree of zest and enthusiasm. For the first few days sentiment may indeed be divided between home and school; but as vehemently as students may deny it, they're all glad to be back, at least tor a while.

Here they find a job too, though quite different from their summer occupations. Here they find the challenge to turn out orig116

赛RED inal work produced through hours of study. This work is far above that of common labor; it is mental work, thinking—and noth­ ing is quite as fatiguing and diflicuU to accomplish as to sit down to do some clear thinking.

It is partly for that reason that a variety of extracurricular activities offered students at every school. Wc here have a musi­ cal organization to suit everyone. Students are encouraged to sing in the choruses and to play in the band. A literary society, the Tres Artes society, is trying its best to function and to find inter­ ested students. The athletic program provides opportunity for all to participate in sports, either inter-school or intramural. Besides this the countryside beckons us to excursions into its woods and hills, to hikes along its rivers and streams. There is no excuse for lack of exercise and dull life here. Take advantage of everything that is offered you! If you don’t, someday you’ll wish you had.

Participate in at least some of the extra activities. They exist for you, for your benefit.

Students are much too prone lo complaining and finding fault.

Would they do less of socallcd “beefing” and turn to thoughts of improvement, and then action, there would be less to complain about and everyone would ])e much happier. They may find that they can do nothing to better this cause or that—than “silence is golden.” Remember，there's a reason for everything. Think be­ fore you speak!

Here we’ve been back at Alma Mater for a couple of weeks already and there isn’t the slightest sign of life! Even the rats have moved to the cemetery; because what respectable rat would want it said of himself that he is a dead-beat? At the cemetery sometime a gopher might at least kick up a little dust. Must this year be just like all the other recent years just because it follows them ? Take last year for instance: all football season we all stood around like the barnacles on Old Ironsides till a few days before the Homecoming Game before we even so much as raised an eye­ brow. In those last few days we all guiltily hunted around for what might have been called at one time school spirit. Happily we were hypocritical enough to cheer our wooden heads off at the Game and the rally at any rate. Must it be like that again ? Do you consider yourself so sophisticated that you think the yells should be left to the Preps? BROTHER, are you in a RUT! I 117

ATHLETICS With the coming of Fall the sports loving world again sets itself for another thrilling football season. Thoughts of baseball . have already been pushed into the background to make room for the sportsman’s greatest and most thrilling classic—the American football game. Here at Northwestern we too turn to our first love and anticipate another good season. The prospect of another cham­ pionship team looks very good, although the competition will be much more rugged in the new Badger-Illini Conference. This new conference starts functioning this Fall, so this year’s conference champ will have to be more durable than it has been in the past.

Only four lettermen were lost via graduation leaving fourteen lettermen as a nucleus for this year’s squad. The initial work for a successful season began at 3:15 on September 15. Calisthentics will be the principle topic for some time.

This year's squad will again be one of the college’s lightest but the backfield will be one of the fastest in Northwestern’s athletic history. A few new scat backs from last season’s Prep team combined with the regular fast backs of last year’s conference championship team make the backfield unusually good this year.

Nothing definite will be known about the team until it is test­ ed in a game.

Of the fourteen returning lettermen: Malchow, Birkholz, Fricke, and Hackbarth are backs: Gieschen, Nommensen, Strohm, Eickmann, Kuske, Kaiser, Holt, Schroeder, and Scharlemann are linemen.

LUTHER ON MUSIC

by R. KIRST

It was the Lutheran Reformation which gave to Germany the musical leadership of Europe. Luther’s “rejoicing in hope,” his teaching of salvation by grace created in him feelings which could find expression only in music. This conception, that music is an expression of faith, is found also in the works of J. S. Bach, who already as a child studied Luther’s catechism, and learned to approach his God without the mediation of the church.

Luther’s family as well as Bach’s lived in Thuringia, the Ger­ man province in which music had become a tradition. Luther was frequenting Thuringia's oldest university (Erfurt) when the earli­ est known Bach appeared in its neighborhood, After his abduction by his friends on his return from Worms he lived for ten months at Eisenach, which later became the birthplace of Johann Sebastian Bach. The miners of the county of Mansfeld, where Lu­ ther grew up, excelled in song. This innate musical talent shows itself in Luther’s youth. Together with other boys he sang from house to house or at weddings and funerals. These groups of sin­ gers, called Kurrende (from Latin currere, to run) suffered abuse and blows, but nevertheless sang praises to God, filled with grat128

赛RED itude for their fine voices and love of music. Later Luther showed his love of music with his own words, “Music is a beautiful, gracious gift of God. It has often been the inspiration of my scimons.”

And again, “Music arouses all the emotions of the human heart: nothing on earth is so well suited to make the sad merry, the merry sad, to give courage to the despairing, to make the proud hum­ ble, to lessen envy and hate, as music.” Luther often sang and played after meals with his friends seated around the dining room table in his home at Wittenberg. In the glow of a cheerful fire they sang odes of Horace and Virgil, then Josquin motels, and the German songs of Walther, Luther's musical adviser in Torgau.

Luther accompanied with his lute and concluded with students, songs while outside could be heard the horn and call of the night watchmen: Hocrt mein’ Kinder, und laeszt cucli’s sagen Die Uhr hat eben zehn geschlagen!

After the group dispersed Luther would retire to his study to read before going to bed.

In his 'Table Talks" Luther gives us bis liigli opinion of the Gregorian chants, masses, motets, and contrapuntal song arrange­ ments. “Ho'v strange and wonderful it is that one voice sings a simple unpretentious tune, while three, four, or five otlicr voices are also sung; these voices play and sway in joyful cxhubcrancc around the tune and, with ever-varying art and luncful sound, wondrouslv adorn and beautify it, and in a celestial roundelay meet in friendly caress and lovely embrace; so that anyone, liaving a little understanding, must 1?e moved and great Iv wonder, and come to the conclusion that there is nothing- rarer in the whole world than a song adorned by so many voices. He must be coarse clod and not worthy of hearing such charming music, who does not delight in this, and is not moved by such a marvel. He should rather listen to the donkev-brayin^ or the barking of (logs than to music.” Further on he praises the “winsome art of music—one of the most glorious gifts of God, to which Satan is hostile, since it drives away temptation and evil thoughts. The devil docs not care for m nusic.

In 1530, the year of the Augsburg Diet, Prince Elector Johann of Saxony safeguarded Luther in his fortress at Coburg. Here he was free to glory in the beauties of nature, but he soon realized the vanity of temporal things, and temptation and afflictions brought him near despair. He longed for the hour of death, and in this despair he wrote to his friend, Senfl, the German composer •\v!io was later suspected of heresy because of his correspondence wi.th Luther. Luther writes to him including a request for a certain hymn: 129

RED “Grace and peace in Christ. Although my name is so hated that I fear that you, my dear Ludwig, will not receive my letter, or if you do, that it may not be safe for you to read it, yet my love of music has overcome this fear. This, my love of music, with which I see my God to have endowed and enriched you, gives me hope that, after all, my letter may not endanger you. For who, even in Turkey, could blame one who loves this art and who prais­ es the artist? 1, for my part, esteem your Bavarian dukes although lliey arc surely not well disposed toward me, and I respect them because tliey cherish and honor music. There are, without doubt, seeds of precious virtues in the hearts of those who are moved by music; whereas tliosc with whom this is not the case must be cal­ led blocks and stones. \Vc know that the devil hates and fears music, but 1 do not hesitate to say that, after theology, there is no art ia Ik* placed Inside music. Music and theology alone are capal^le of giving peace* and liappiness to troubled souls. This plain­ ly proves that the devil, the source of all unhappiness and worries, flees music as much as lie does theology. This is why the prophets practiced imiMc as tliey did no other art. They did not link their theo|o^y to ^eonu*try. nor to arithmetic, nor to astronomy—but to music, and thr<mti>!i music they preached the truth with songs and psalms. Hut why do I praise music, in that I presume to depict, or ratlier, to (1 is figure, so great a matter on so small a sheet ? But my heart is full to overflowing with what has so often refreshed me and freed me from grave burdens. I come to you with a plea that you send me a copy of tlie antiphon, “In pace in id ipsum” (I will belli lav me clown in peace and sleep), if you have one.

This melody has comforted me from my earliest days, and all the more now that the words mean so much to me. I have not seen this song set in parts. I do not want to burden you with the task of setting it, but I am assuming that you already have it. I hope that my end is near. The world has no use for me and despises me, and I am weary of the world and despise it; therefore let the Good Shepherd take my soul. This is 'vhy I am beginning to sing this song more frequently. But I should like to have it in four parts. If you do not possess it I will send you the notes of the tune and you can set it after my death. The Lord Jesus be with you in eternity. My humble greetings to your choir.”

DEFENDER OF OUR FAITH

by MARTIN

The Diet of Augsburg began its sessions on June 20, 1530.

Among other things, the diet was to settle the religious dispute existing in the Empire. Emperor Charles had summoned the diet, for the Turks were invading Germany and he realized the importance and necessity of unity and peace among his subjects.

The religious question to l)e discussed was that begun by Lu­ ther with the Ninety-five Theses in 1517. Luther was the first one to come to the realization that the church was corrupt through and through, ttis attempt to bring the church back to the truth gained momentum and assumed gigantic proportions, until now, in 1530, the situation had developed into a national issue.

By this time a compromise and reconciliation with the Roman Church was impossible. A man who asumed the powers of Christ here on earth, who had the might of numbers behind him, would not readily give up his position for the doctrine of justification by faith in Christ, a doctrine based on the utter helplessness of man.

Luther realized this. There were others, however, who still hoped for compromise.

Philip Melanchthon was one of these. At the Diet of Augs­ burg the Lutherans were asked to draw up an official statement of their doctrine. Luther, still under the imperial and papal bans, could not attend the diet and was forced to remain at Coburg.

Melanchthon then became the active leader of the Protestants.

Luther kept in close contact with the representatives at Augsburg so that, though Melanchthon drew up the Augsburg Confession in form, the thoughts contained in it were chiefly those of Luther, and the doctrine was definitely that of Luther.

The Confession read at the diet was, however, no longer in its original form. Melanchthon still hoped for some sort of agree­ ment between the Catholic and Protestant groups. He did not wish to offend the Catholics in any way. He took the original docu­ ment and reworded it wherever he thought it necessary. Melanchthon hoped to make it acceptable to the Catholics. Luther called Melanchthon^ tactics “LeisetretenLuther by nature could not do that. In spite of the many revisions and concessions, Melanch­ thon was still fearful of its acceptance by the Catholics; and had it not been for the encouragement and exhortation of Luther, Me­ lanchthon might have fallen by the way at this time.

“If it had not been the Lord who was on our side when men rose up against us, then they had swallowed us up quick.” These words of Psalm 124 describe the,aid Luther gave Melanchthon 131

RED through this perilous period. But for that the Reformation might have taken quite another turn. It is of interest and benefit that . just one of Luther’s letters of faith to Melanchthon. we examine Melanchthon had written Lutlicr complaining of the c'ares which were devouring him. Luther immediately wrote him an inspiring and comforting Idler. His salutation: Grace and peace in Christ—in Christ, I say, not in the world.

Amen.

It was natural for I.uther to begin his letters in this manner, call­ ing first upon Christ to bestow His grace and blessings upon the recipient. A few uniniporlant remarks follow. Luther then pro­ ceeded with the main body of the letter, his exhortation: Those sreat cares by which you say you arc consumed I vehenicntlv hate : they rule your heart not on account of the great­ ness of the cause hul by reason of llic greatness of your unbelief.

John Muss and many olhers have waged harder battles than we do. It our cause is great, its author and champion is great also, for it is not ours. Why arc you therefore always tormenting yourself? If our cause is false, let us recant; if it is true, why should we make him a liar who commands us to be of untroubled heart?

Cast vour burden on the Lord, he says : The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon him with a broken heart. Does he speak in vain or to beasts? I, too, am quite often smitten, but not all the time. It is not your theology which makes you anxious, but your philosophy, the .same which lias been gnawing at your friend Caniarius. W'liat good can you do by your vain anxiety? What can the devil do more than slay us? What after that? I beg you, so pugnacious in all else, fight against yourself, your own worst enertiy, who furnish Satan with arms against yourself, Christ died once for sinners, and will not die again for truth and justice but will live and reign. If it be true, what fear is there for the truth?

Will he be prostrated by God's wrath ? rather let us prostrate ourselves before it. He who is our father will also be the father of our children. I pray for you earnestly and am deeply pained . that you keep sucking up cares like a leech and thus renderingmy prayers vain. Christ knows whether it is stupidity or bravery, but I am not much disturbed, rather of better courage than I had hoped. God, who is able to raise the dead is also able to uphold a falling cause, or to raise a fallen one and make it strong. If we are not worthy instruments to accomplish his purpose, he will find others. If \vc are not strengthened by his promise, to whom else in all the world can they pertain? But saying more would be pouring water into the sea.

What faith, what trust is expressed in this letter! It is truly char­ acteristic of Luther, believing and humble. Luther cares not for himself “though devils all the world should fill.” He is interested only in preserving the precious Word of God in all its truth and purity. And he is confident that as long as God is in the heavens above this truth will not, yea cannot fall. No one in as troubled a state as Melanchthon could read such a letter without receiving from it the comfort and assurance it was meant to give. Luther 132

RED wrote clearly and to the point, and there was no mistaking what he meant.

In the concluding paragraph of his letter, Luther prays for Mefanclitbon's steadfastness and expresses liis anxiety and desire to participate in this diet. He writes: May Christ comfort, strengthen, and teach you by his spirit. that the c.iusc is Amen. If I hear that things arc going badly in danger, I shall hardly he able lo restrain mysdf from llyiin« t(» Augsburg, to see what the Bible calls the terrible teeth of Sattan roundabout.

Whenever and wherever occasion arose for llic Protest an Is to make a public confession of their doctrine, LuIIkt was eagxr to avail himself of the opportunity. So here at the Diet of Au^sbur^.

Should anything go 'vrong, Luther, still under tlu* bans, would risk his life to尺o to AugsBurq; and defend his cause, lie had en­ dured many struggles within himself, hut. once he lia«l convinced himself of the true faith, Lutlier knew where he stood. Nothing could remove him. Luther was llie Reformation, llu，llanu.* thal sparked and kindled the light of Christ in tlie souls of fainting' spirits such as Melanchthon.

May the Lord grant us also a faith sucli as Luther's, a faith which prompts us to say with the psalmist: “（）ur hol|» is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earlli.1'

THE KILLER

by D. S.

Anthony Gordon had just killed a living being. There was a bloody spot on tlu floor where the gruesome crime had been com­ mitted. Tony wasn't sorry. He would gladly do it again, There was a certain terrible pleasure in it. Tony got a kick out of know­ ing that he could kill another living, breathing creature with just his bare hands.

But as he looked on the remains of his victim, a little bit of remorse swept over Tony. He hadn’t meant to kill in the begin­ ning. It was just that this foul demon had kept plaguing him until he could stand it no longer. Funny thing how his victim had just sat there staring up at him, not sensing the gruesome plan Tony was working out in his mind. Threats and violent warnings were not enough to drive off the villain. The beast continued to hound Tony until his nerves snapped. Then suddenly as he saw his leering victim sitting helpless before him, Tony struck. With a savage sweep of his powerful right hand he caught him off guard!

He hurled the villain head foremost to the floor and then with one crushing blow of his foot struck out all life.

Suddenly Tony was roused from his post mortem meditations as Schmitty, his best friend, entered the room.

“What you (lreamin’ about, lardhead?” Schmitty questioned.

Tony looked up and replied, '*Oh, I was just wondering how long it would take to kill ail the flics in the world by hand.”

赛RED ''LIFE IN THESE UNITED STATES" by ••BUACKIE”

As you sit in your favorite lounge chair in your cozy little home or even in school, just think for a minute—arc you satisfied with everything ? Do you complain about the meals, the beds, desks, rooms? If you do, you shouldn't. It is very un-Christianlikc, for indirectly you are blaming God for the position in which He has placed you. The lesson I wish to teach with this story is that should never complain again.

The scene is southern Indiana, in and near the little town of Medora. The people living there, have the education of the char­ acters in the comic strip "Lil* Abner.” Yes, “Lil，Abiici.” is no exaggeration at all.

The people in this section are mostly Irish and Scots. When they settled here they settled in tfic hills (because the hills remind­ ed them of their home across the Atlantic) where there were large forests. The people without any foresight cut these forests down and sold the trees for a "pretty penny.” Soon the forests were gone, and the people, who had not saved any of their easily earned mon­ ey, were forced to settle here in an unprosperous place. Some Ger­ mans to the cast chose the flat fertile plains and became very pros­ perous. The hill folks resented the good luck of their neighbors.

They do not like the Germans or anything or anyone that looks, talks, or has anything to do with the Germans. A small brook separates the two enemies. An interesting note connected with this hatred and brook is the fact that the founder of the Lutheran churches down there was accused during the war of being a spy for Hitler. This pastor had a hobby of painting and was rather good at it. Once he was found painting a picture of the covered bridge which extends over this brook and which by the way is one of the few remaining. The people accused him of drawing a plan in order to send it to Hitler, who in return was believed to be getting ready to come over here and bomb the bridge.

The Methodists started churches here when the people were rich, but as soon as the people could no longer support a pastor, the churches were abandoned. Our sister synod sent a missionary down there, just to explore the possibility starting- a congrega­ tion. The missionary had very tough sledding because he was a German, but strangely enough he was very successful. He held tent meetings every night for a few months. The meetings were very crowded. Some few of the people were interested in having a church start here, many were just curious, and many just wanted some place to go to. He started four congregations here. After a few years the missionary became sick because of the great a135

RED mount of work in his four charges. Now the congregations arc served by two competent young pastors.

The missionary had a very keen knack of handling people.

First of all，lie received permission to use the abandoned Methodist church for a small fee, i)ut after it was noticed that the Lutheran Church was doing so well, the Methodists doubled the fee. The pastor then received permission to use an abandoned school house under the same conditions, but again the results were the same. rJ'lic Mission Board decided to build a church. Here is where the technique of the pastor brought results. He would visit the people and talk about the proposed church. He would ask the people for financial help, knowing of course that they could not help with money. He then would say something like this, “Brother，that tree out there, do you need it?” On a negative answer from the one addressed he would then say, “Will you give it to the Lord?”

Generally the man would then answer yes, and the pastor would make arrangements to have the tree cut clown and taken to the saw mill. In this way the church was built. I have seen the church, and indeed it is a beautiful, simple church.

As stated before, the people are very poor. Most of them live in shacks in which we would not let our chickens live. 丁lie houses” generally consist of two rooms—a kitchen and a bedroom which serves as a living room during the daytime. Many of the hoards of the exteriors do not match. One can easily see through the house without the use of windows. Generally there is no rug on the floor and no wallpaper or paint on the walls or ceilings. One necessary but peculiar habit of the people.is that they place their empty canning jars upside down on the posts round the house. Where do they place the full jars? Oh, they put them under the beds.

Another example of the wealth of these people is their weekly gifts for the Lord. With about forty-five persons present, the col­ lection is approximately one dollar and thirty cents. As anyone can plainly see this congregation will never be self-suppprting.

The pastor must make weekly calls not only to the sick, but also to the other members. If one family is not reached within a week or so, that family feels slighted. The people are very con­ cerned about having the pastor present in case of death. In fact, the pastor was called three times to come to visit a patient in one (lay because "she's agoing to die.” The pastor went as requested and found that the patient had a bad cold.

Here is an interesting note concerning the calls ancl showing the technique of the missionary. As the missionary was soliciting to start a church, he came to one shack and knocked at the door.

The man of the house opened the door a crack and told the pastor

136

RED to go away. The pastor tried another door. It opened and the pastor immediately asked why he could not conic in. The man un­ swered, “You got shoes on and we ain’t. Go awayand shut the door again. The pastor went to his car, took off his shoes and stockings, rolled up his trousers, and again tried. This time lie was successful.

Few of the people have cars and therefore the church has to rent a bus and go around and pick up the people for divine services.

The pastor has not as yet worn a gown, l)ut lie is gra(lu?lly accustoming the people to church accessories. One cannot just jump in here and make a radical change. One has to work grad­ ually, making the people believe that they really want such changes.

Let us briefly consider their dialogue. Instead of pastor or reverend they say “preacher;” for over there—over yonder: down in a low place—down in the holler: suppose—reckon; all of you— you all; and carry—pack. The last one was the only one I had a little trouble understanding, because I had sonic lessons from the pastor whom I was visiting.

There are many other little peculiar differences as far as language, custom, morality, and life in general arc conccrncd. Yes, we certainly should appreciate the palaces in which we live, and there never should be heard a murmur or a note of complaint from our mouths.

COLLEGE POETRY It may as well be admitted: college poetry is here to stay.

With this branch of the arts ours is not to reason why, ours is but to grin and bear it. .

Please don’t be surprised that college poetry has been classed as a separate branch of the arts. Not all of it need be considered so leprous as to necessitate its isolation. But the rest is so “tmique” that it must per se be torn away from the body of the art. For just as on the one hand, according to Varga standards of feminine beauty, arms on the Venus de Milo would stamp her not as a lux­ uriously sensuous, classical beauty but as a somewhat musclebound pioneer woman, just so on the other hand, according to strictly classical standards of beauty in poetry, the addition of the arm of most college poetry to the body of the art would stamp the “Venus de Poetry” as a .coarse harlot indeed. Nevertheless, we must keep in mind that this arm of the “Venus de Poetry’ does exist. Even though there has been enough poetry printed in college publications to fill even the most experienced of professors 137

RED with literary horror, we haven't even begun to see the whole of the stuff. We must leave to the unborn generations to begin even the most erratic guessing as to the shape and extent of the addition we are making to poetry. Therefore we can but state what has already happened and leave the conscience stricken moralizing to posterity.

What then arc we sitting here for if we are not to pass any judgment ? I say, the least we can do for the prodigious amount of water that has already passed beneath the ivy colored bridge is to classify, bottle, and stack away again with a large, black “Excelsior” primed on the label.

Again. when we classify college poetry, we cannot be orthodox and classical, lmt we must invent our own criteria. When one casts about among our ancient files and back numbers in search of cource material, so to speak, the first and most abundant type of poetry one meets is the “Trashery of Ogden NasheryM type, Innuendo for the sake of innuendo, if you will. Poems that fall in­ to this category are written in any conveniently funny style, language, or dialcct. Most of these here among the ancient Black and Reds ari written either in English or in a peculiar kind of “Schoenstc Lenkevich” (English-German) dialect. Among these one finds tin* best and funniest of humorous poetry because we handle these media with most native facility. Here one finds in­ finite variety of subject, style and worth. Some are to be consid­ ered genuinely worthwhile—as nonsense. Subjects vary from wine, women and song to the more local, humorous aspect of life in our own college.

Some of this humor is merely dalliance with words. Some of it is Shavian in character: it attempts to teach a mild lesson or half-hearted moral. This is the type that produces the best reac­ tion on the funny bone. If that can be written by students without jeopardizing one’s own reputation of being an articulate and sane human being and at the same time getting off one’s chest in meter what one wishes to state.

Why do students write poetry in languages with which they have no more intimate acquaintance that that between the Montagues and Capulets ? Do you object to that statement ? Have you written a poem in Latin. Greek, German, or Lower Slobovian ?

You say you have as grammatically precise a knowlege of Lower Slobovian as it is possible to have, and with such a knowledge you are perfectly qualified to write poetry in the language. True, too true—Next time you are sitting alone with your literary consciene at night, ask it honestly whether you didn’t change the meter or the rhyme just once or so to fit the thought ,or vice versa. When one has no conversational contact with the breathless little emo138

RED tional nuances of pathos and tiny shades of emotional interpreta­ tion present in a language why should one attempt to add to the literary store of the language? Sometimes a person becomes so imbued with his own learning that he feels constrained to write just one poem in the medium. Only four lines or so. I have no doubt that some of the stuff we read in these languages was writ­ ten in all earnestness, but I must confess that I honestly believe the only ones that enjoy the stuff are the author himself and per­ haps also the erudite shades of our orthodox ancestors.

For the most part when students, in their own tongue, write serious poetry at least the aim is very commendable. Some of it is good, some worthless, some serious only in the most lirazcn way, some sheerest hypocrisy. Occasionally there are evidences of rosy idealism, of sexual masochism, oi an inferiority-complex.

Some of it is written in classical style, some in so-called modern, and some in no perceptible style whatever except that it has the flimsiest facade of rhyme or meter. You can also find traces of surrealism, romanticism and just plain messiness. Stiulcnts write poetry because in their daily contact with this most lofty of arts they become imbued with its beauty and wish to take for t hemselves some of the honors due the bards. Some, of course are poets, and as such they are forced to write because they cannot do otherwise.

When a student is impressed by this or that piece of literature, or by the music of Wagner or Aaron Copland, or when he has a problem of universal insolubility on his mind, he writes a poem.

When this happens it is not always to be deplored of course. Some day someone may come along with another “On First Looking Into Chapman’s Homer” or even another “Ancient Mariner, so then we should not frown on the practice of publishing poetry in college papers. Let him who later realizes that he has made a fool­ ish mistake in considering himself a poet in his college days beat his own breast with contrite whimpers of: “Men Culpa, inea culpa.”

For if we have no amateurs, who will appreciate the professionals?

Our Deepest Appreciation ...

EPTEMBER 29 was a happy day for the Black and Red, for on that day the first step was taken toward remodeling our staff room, otherwise just called the Black and Red room. The walls ot the room were thirsting for paint, the couch had already seen its second Waterloo, and the bookcase longed to join its ancestors in some dusty nook of the attic. We wanted to fulfil the whims of our room, but we couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.

Then came the good news. Money was on hand for improvenient's. We were next on the list. No happier group was seen that day than the Black and Red staff. Without much ado we looked into furniture catalogues; we went to Oconomowoc; we bought a chrome couch and chair, both done in red leatherette. By the time the furniture would be delivered, we hoped to have our room in readiness.

140

RED Work began immediately. The room was painted, the old furniture taken out, and the lamps were repaired. A few needed accessories were bought. When the new furniture arrived we could put it into a clean room. All that we lack yet are two slip covers for older chairs. We hope to get them soon.

What has made this remodeling possible? It was the gifts received from the Ladies’ Aids of our churces. We wish to thank all those who have contributed to our dormitory fund. The gifts are indeed put to good use, and the results obtained are appreci­ ated more than we can describe in words here. Again we say, thank you!

Wondrous Man!... matters defy explanation.

If in these days you encounter in the hallway or even in the classrooms some intelligent-looking' student and ask him a civ­ ilized question, chances are that you will receive in answer an unintelligent, “Huh?” or an absent-min ded, “I don’t know. Ask me some other time.” On closer observation you find under the arm of this particular student a portable radio (Tracy’s Wrist model hs not reached us yet), and then, if you are a reasonably cautious person, you wisely walk off.

Or you hear loud voices coming from a study room. The volume indicates that a political argument is going on, and you nat­ urally want to go in and defend Truman. You’re wrong: the argu­ ment concerns only the World Series and the question of which team is more worthy or more likely to win.

Or enter a comparatively quiet room. At three out of five desks you find an enthusiast, earnestly trying to catch every word, every breath, and, in cold weather, every sniffle of the World Series announcer (there is hidden meaning in those sniffles). You might, although to do so is taking quite a risk, be bold enough to ask meekly for the time. The only answer you receive is a claw­ ing at the desk cloths, occasional panting, and—if the game is not going so favorably—-oral foaming and mental fuming. Stout­ hearted, you ask again in a somewhat stronger voice. The fans’ eyes light up and you expect an answer, but you are disappointed as you realize that the light in their eyes only measures the num­ ber of decibels at which the radio crowds are cheering; a bright light and loud cheers indicates, no doubt, a batdown (in football they call it a touchdown).

Then comes what must be a particularly exciting part of the game because, as you stand there awaiting an answer to your in141

RED quiry, suddenly the three fans jump up ecstatically with a few “Hurrahs” and ‘.Yahoo’s” and for the next few minutes you won­ der whether you have come upon cowboys doing an Indian war dance or whether you are in the wrong institution.

If you are really persistent and have a strong heart, you might venture to ask once more for the time. If you do, you can expect one of two things to happen. Either you will be told in a serrncivilized tone, as you are grasped by the hands and swung through the air for five minutes::“ It’s—hurrah !—two to one—hurrah!— in favor of the —yippee!—Braves (or Indians, as the case may be)!’’一cither that, or you will be taking beginners’ harp-lessons soon.

But why otherwise intelligent, sensible human beings can by a mere baseball ^ame away out East be so carried away that it would take Frankenstein's monster to scare them from the radio; or what difference in the world it should make to a resident of Wisconsin and an erudite student of Northwestern whether the Cleveland Eskimoes (or whatever they are) freeze the Boston Big Chiefs or the Boston Big Chiefs scalp the Cleveland Eskimoes— don’t ever try to find out. Instead, just close your eyes, smile, and remember, “Ain’t education grc.at?”

A Taste of the Far East ...

N Wednesday evening, September 22, students of- Northwestern were whiskecl from the college gym to the Far East on a magic carpet prepared by the guest speaker, Mr. Kane.

By means of a large'colorful map he outlined a journey, having preliminary stops in China and Bali, and then starting at Saigon, Indo China, and traveling westward through Burma and then dip­ ping down into Southern India; from here west again, skirling Af­ ghanistan, on through Arabia; the final leg of the overland journey taking a northwesterly .direction across-Europe as far as Berlin, Germany.

Although Mr. Kane made this “hike” sometime before the war, lie brought it up to date by bits of current humor. His talk was of such a nature that time was of relatively little importance any­ way. The speaker donned the different costumes of the various peoples that he encountered on his overland march. Having some­ what grey hair, tanned complexion, and a charming way of using his hands, he was able during the course of an hour to become a Chinese mandarin, a saronged native of Bali, an Indian with au­ thentic white turban, and then a very realistic Mosleni, the last por­ trayal also including the prayer ritual of a follower of Mohammed kneeling on his small rug and praying to Allah while facing towards Mecca.

Athough t he Far .East has somewhat hardened in our minds • since the war, Mr. Kane brought back that romantic flavor that once hovered, there.

RED Well Chosen ...

N Wednesday evening, September 29, .the Junior Class pre­ sented to us the first of their selection of movies for the ’48 - ’49 school term, "Message to Garcia.” The story taken from the early days of the Spanish American War describes an American West Point graduate’s perilous but successful at­ tempt to get a message from President McKinley through the Span­ ish lines to the commander of the Cuban forces. General Garcia.

The love element was as usual injected into the plot, but it was not overdone. This angle was kept subordinate to the main theme— getting the message through. The acting of john Boles, the Ameri­ can soldier, and of Barbara Stanwyck, the daughter of a murder­ ed Cuban assisting the American in his mission, was good. Wallace Berry was cast in the same type of role he usually plays. He portrayed a rather rough character, a deserter from the U. S. Marines, hiding out in Cuba. In helping the soldier get his message through he saw a chance to right his wrong.

The film bad the same fault as most of those we havc here: it was difficult at times to understand the speaking. That is part­ ly clue to the acoustics of ou r gymnasium and partly due to the age of the films l)y the time they reach us. Nevertheless, the Juniors are to he congratulated, and we are looking forward to some more good movies this year.

In this month’s column of C and C There’ll be news of buttoning and of Dan Giesclicn s knee.

There’ll be views on baseball, on singing, on love.

Plus flashes on movies and on Mr. X’s last move.

You’ll find out about these things and even much more If you’ll just read this column, even though it’s a bore.

FLASH : Mr. X has not been active for a long time. He should have a coming out party soon.

Left and right and up and down!

To watch a Frosh button you'd think him a clown.

But ask any Freshy how funny it feels To try to obey thirty Sophs while each squeals A different command in his rough, grating voice, And he’ll answer, I’m sure, that it ain’t very nice!

Yep, buttoning is here again for its annual monthly stay. Dur­ ing the first few days of the ordeal so many Frosh were convicted of infractions that punishments ran all the way from the good old water treatment down to cleaning off the sprinter with a tooth­ brush. At present the Sophs have Frosh offenders working as clothesbrusheroffers, shoeshiners, doormen, and sewer fishers, to mention a few. There don’t seem to be many forms of torture left, but the mind of an offended Soph is capable of almost any­ thing.

This fall the biggest boy on our football team (I’ll let you guess his identity) seems to have a little heart trouble. For this 147

RED fall Cupid has again punctured our friend with the flaming arrow of love. Our big boy has only this to say to all our heckling: “All the world loves a lover, and I like lots of affection.” 氺

From the highest boy on our team we turn to the two bravest, toughest, roughest chaps on the varsity. They arc none other than those two famous “crut'cli” players, “I’egleg"” Giesehen and Howie “The Cast” Kaiser. These two parties, despite a disjointed knee and a busted wrist respectively, continue to fight on for dear old N. W. C. All joking aside for a second, we want to wish the boys speedy recoveries, so that they can finish up their football days in high gear. sans bandages and plaster casts.

It’s a bird !ft’s a plane! It’s Doc. Pankow out on a call! The dorm’s No. 1 saw-boncs has firmly established himself as a reliable first aider. Despite all the razzing he takes, Gerry knows what or what not to do on most occasions, As proof of his efficiency we point to the fact that none of his patients have taken off for the happy hunting' grounds but all are in fine shape. His popularity has grown to such a degree that he says lie’ll have to arrange of­ fice hours or hire an assistant. 氺氺氺

The B and R room has been redecorated. A new leather couch, a leather lounging chair, a new paint job, the removal of some old furniture and the rejuvenating of the rest have all added to a new look for the B and R room, Now that it is in good shape, the staff wants to keep it that way, so non-members will find the staff members a lot more tight-fisted about their keys than they have been in the past.

The first varsity home game provided a lot of surprise action for the Frosh ticket-takers. When a stubborn fan tried to crash the gate, the Frosh had to evict him bodily. In the process Freshy Denninger suffered cuts above one ye and a split lip. When Cy Spaude roared into the attack to aid his buddy, he was promptly popped in the spectacles by the free swinging culprit. The sum to­ tal of the action amounted to a lot of discomfort for all concerned.

The fellow could have purchased a ticket and saved himself a lot of trouble. 氺

148

RED A few weeks back tryouts were held among male chorus mem­ bers desirous of singing in an octet. After the voice tests had been completed, the tryout committee decided that a glee club would be even better than the customary octet ,so sixteen large chested nien were selected as warblers. The rogues gallery: Petermann, Wilde, Zank, and Hein in II Bass—Malchow (director), Albrecht, Jackson ancl Sellnow in I Bass—Nommensen, SlefFenhagen, Thrams, and Fricke in II Tenor—Biedenbender. Bitter, Prenzlow and Pankow in I Tenor.

The first big job will be to help provide some entertainment at the homecoming get-together.

Late in September, Pastor Jaster and his assistant spent a few days at Northwestern taking moving pictures of the students and profs in their natural habitat. The boys were shot from all angles―eating, sleeping, walking, talking, and washing, to mention a few. We are all curious to see what we look like in the movies. Who knows一there may be a Clark Gable or Tyrone Power in our midst.

The World Series has again come and gone. This year, as we all know, Cleveland mauled an inferior Boston team. Before the series, "Burp" Pope, a staunch American league fan predicted: “The Indians will massacre those Boston bums!" The opinion of “Stinky” Kaiser was, “The Braves can’t lose!” I’ll stand behind a burper any day rather than behind a “cheese-cutter, I supported Pope and we won.

Everything has an end, and so too, the C and C column. As a parting thought I'd like to repeat a classic statement made by the late, well-known, effervescent poet, Tom Collins; Hie, haec, burp!

Northwestern College inaugurated the ’48 football season by traveling to Locksport, Illinois, to play Lewis College. Although anticipating a stiff contest and expecting to meet a vastly improv­ ed Lewis team, the Black and Red men were not expecting to play a team of “acquired” players. Coached by “Scooter” McLean, a former Chicago Bear star ,the Lewis men played in typical Bear fashion: infractions of the rules were common place. Lewis col­ lege managed to be penalized only a plus 200 yards. The Umnusmen lost 30 yards on penalties.

Lewis, playing their second game of the season, elected to receive the ball, so the Goslings kicked off and succeeded in holding the highly geared Lewis squad to no scorc until very late in the second period. Stopped on their own thirty yard stripe, the Goldmen threw a desperation pass of some fifty yards. The strong tail wind carried the ball completely over the heads of the Gosling secondary into the hands of a racing end. The attempted conver­ sion was partially blocked. The score remained 6-0 at half time.

The third quarter, however, was a freely scoring period. Lewis again received to start the second half. Wasting no time, the Goldmen marched right back to pay dirt. Not yet discouraged and still in the game, the Goslings marched down the field with Malchow throwing to Nommensen, who ran 43 yards, to set up the T. D. Fricke ran the ball to the two yard stripe and Don Bitter pushed over for the score. Eick^mann made a perfect kick for the extra point. The score stood at 13-7. Things looked somewhat brighter for the Black and Redmen, but only momentarily. Within the next five minutes the Lewisites struck pay dirt twice again. One attempted conversion was blocked. The score: 26-7 at the end of the third quarter. The fourth quarter was a push and pull affair with the Goslings doing some good passing. The game ended with N. W. C. on the Lewis twenty yard line. Final score 26-7.

No exact statistics are available, not even the Lewis line-up.

-VICTORIA UNA — Bouncing back from.defeat, the Goslings trounced St. Pro­ copius (Lisle, 111.) 35-6.

Displaying a good ground attack and an aerial offense in spite of the strong cross wind, the Goslings literally ran to victory. They scored twice in the first quarter and al least once every other quar­ ter.

A penalty against the Saints combined with a poor punt put the ball on the Saints’ forty yard line. Here the Goslings took over. Four hard running backs pushed the ball down to the one yard stripe. Fullback Don Bitter plunged over for the T. D. Eickmann’s attempted conversion was a little wide. A few minutes later Man­ they ran forty yards to set up the second score. Hackbarth went over from the (four. Eickmann’s conversion was perfect, Twice more the goal stripe was crosed on long runs by Bitter and Manthey, but both the runs were called back.

The drive stopped on the Saints’ nine yard line. Here Eickmann broke through the Saints’ forward wall and nailed the ball carrier behind the goal line for a safety. The second quarter T.D. was scored by Danny Malchow, who ran thirty yards around his own right end to hit pay dirt.

The Saints aroused themselves in the second half to drive deep into N.W.C/s territory, but Malchow stopped the drive with a pass interception.. The Black and Red marched: a pass from Malchow to Hackbarth set up the score. Jim Fricke then ran the remaining fifteen yards for the score. Strohm converted.

151

RED The Saints rallied in the fourth quarter with Plank and Simon carrying the oval to the one yard line; Kopanda then got through for Saint's only score. The attempted conversion was blocked.

N. W. C. came right back with Sommerfield carrying the ball most of the way and then scoring- from the two yard stripe. Fricke passed to Free for the extra point.

GEOFFREY GOES MODERN A Jerk there was at Northwestern also That loj^ik studied very longe y^o.

m RED SEEGAR

by P. A.

The most peculiar person I’ve ever met is vSecgar, an employee at the canning factory where 1 worked. I'm not sure whether Secgar is his first or last name, but at least it’s the name he goes l)y.

An old, rather oddly shaped person, he stands all of six feet two inches in height, and his weight, Td judge, is about 150, His counlenance is “out: of this world,” and his features are really accentu­ ated by an unusually long neck. He has a big, round mouth, always hanging open. In it he carries about six teeth, stained dark brown because of his consistent tobacco-chewing. His nost is almost normal, but I’m sure no one else has eyes like his. They are big and round, partially bloodshot, and always wide open, regarirdless of how tired he is. I don’t know what color nor how nliuch hair lie has, because every time I saw him he was wearing a railroad cap.

One never knows exactly how he will act, because lie is a very changeable fellow. On some clays he may be exceedingly happy, and on others very grouchy. When someone irritates him, he will plunge into a temporary fit of rage, beginning it with 11 long series of curses, continuing with about five minutes of reprimanding, and then concluding with another series of curses. You bad best stay out of his way on such occasions, for no one can soothe him. On • the other hand, at the times when he is in a good mood, one can say almost anything to him without ill effects.

He also has some odd habits. Even on the hottest summer days he always wears “long Johns,” and then, if it is too hot he rolls up the sleeves on his thick work shirt, but he never unlmttons the top button of his shirt nor folds his collar down.

Besides cursing, eating is his greatest weakness. Every three hours on the hour while he is 'vorking，he sits in the foreman’s chair, looking very contented, and eats his jsandwiches and drinks his coffee.

You know now why I call Seegar the most peculiar person I’ve ever met. He’s really an odd fellow.

RED MEDICAL MISSIONARIES hij W. R.

"Oh, save my little one, white man; save my little one!” It is the pagan mother holding out her sick child to the mission doctor.

Disease in pagan lands rages unchecked. As two missionaries walk through the streets in China observing the filth and disease all around, one of them exclaims, “Man, I couldn’t stand it if it were not for Jesus Christ! It is the dirt, the disease, the suffering, the awful sin! I couldn’t stand it if I did not try to see in each patient the image of Jesus, who has said, “In as much as ye have done it unto one of the least of these:my brethren, ye have done it unto Me.’ ” That is what keeps the missi onary going in the face of overwhelming1 odds. In spite of the hardships, his labors are by no means fruitless.

The pagan home is an unsanitary den. The mud walls harbor insects; the cartli floors harbor fleas, the grass roof, rats. The home usually consists of only one room. This is occupied not on­ ly by a large family, including often man and wife, children, the mans father, uncle, brother and others, but also animals, such as a calf, a goat, or a buffalo.

Most of these people in crowded pagan lands try to have two meals a day, but often they must get along on only one. Their undernourished bodies provide an easy target for disease. An esti­ mated two million people go to bed hungry every night in Asia and Africa. What happens when a real famine breaks out? The first to arrive at the mission or the govermnent famine camps are the old men and women, who are banished from the home when food becomes scarce. As the situation becomes worse, the next to come are the girls, since they are not valued so highly as the boys.

Next come the boys themselves, which often means that the par­ ents have died. Finally when all hope is gone come the middle ed men and women. usually too far gone to survive. But these ing skeletons, their bodies wrecked by famine, filth, and disease, are temples of the Holy Ghost. How readily they receive the bles­ sed message the missionary has for them.

One dread disease of Bible times prevails to this day in pagan lands. This disease is leprosy. The Christian missions have built leper colonies for its victims. Here the lepers living amidst white­ washed walls receive proper food and care for their bodies, and what is i more important, their souls are cured of the leprosy of sin. This is quite different treatment than lepers received only a few generations ago. The officials of a Chinese city built a shed 157

i

，

RED and invited all the lepers of the city to a feast. When they were all seated, the shed was soaked with oil and set on fire.

Other ravaging diseases molesting the people among whom Christian missionaries are working are sleeping sickness and ma­ laria. These weaken both the body and the mind. in America there is one doctor for every six hundred people.

In China there is one for every four hundred thoiisand. For com­ parison’s sake, imagine the city of Milwaukee with one doctor working full time and one working less than half time.

The work of the medical misionary is indeed important, so long as it is realized that the sours welfare is to be given priority over that of the body. We save the bodies of the heathen for the service of Christ if we can, but by all means we must save their souls for Christ. Christ himself provides the example for the medi­ cal missionary. Twenty-four of His thirty-six recorded miracles were miracles of physical healing. His apostles also healed the sick. But wherever this physical healing is mentioned, it is subor­ dinate to healing of sin-sick souls. To St. Paul the questions of health were always of minor importance in comparison with the salvation of the soul. Jesus often told those whom he had healed “te tell no man. Why? Because He did not want to be known as a healer of the body but as the Physician of the soul. Every mission doctor must be first a missionary, then a medical man.

If he becomes a mere physician of the body, he has lost sight of his most important task. Those wretched physical wrecks have souls to be won for Christ first of all. His position as a physical healer provides him with an excellent means through which to perform his greatest task一that of healing the soul. Many a hea­ then has been thankful to God for the disease he has had to suf­ fer. For through such disease he was brought to Christ. One leper said to the missionary: “If I hadn’t become a leper, I should not have heard the Gospel. Though my skin was diseased, my heart was cleansed through Christ. It was worth while being afflicted to receive such a blessing.” When a medical missionary in Persia took ill, the traders, officials, and soldiers who had formerly hated Christianity now prayed God to take them and spare him.

The Christian hospital has an almost unbelievable drawing power. No missionary could possibly reach all the villages repre­ sented by the patients in a single hospital. In these mission hos­ pitals three million people each year catch their first glimpse of

Christ.

RED THE RED ONSLAUGHT hy F.

The early shades of dusk had fallen. The murky evening with its all-pervading- depressive mood hung heavily over the village.

Sullenly the night wore on with a keen foreboding of tragedy. Even nature completely hid her face under a blanket of fog.

The iron curtain of night shut out all nearby objects from view. The formidable castle-like house stood desolately alone. Yet the fateful cud stealthily approached; the groundwork was laid for the onslaught. Men were drawn up and poised for the siege and a quick kill. Firmly and unsparingly the schemes were laid.

Victory must bo obtained hy the Reds at any price.

The generals too were unusually excited. You could feel the gripping tcnscnc.ss in the ill-lit, smoke-filled room. Uncle Joe care­ fully recstinialcd the cunning of his opponent. From previous maneuvers lie know the cost of underestimation. The sacrifice of his Reds was nolliin^—only the ultimate victory was important.

Finally (lie zero hour arrived. Nerves were taut. The attack was fierce. Losses were heavy; neither side budged an inch.. Re­ treat was impossible. Bring up the rear guard! Jump the enemy by surprise! Sacrifice him on the altar of battle, and then proceed!

Time marched on. Seconds flew by, yet the minutes passed slowly. The formerly joyus bells of the great church clock now tolled the hour of twelve. The tempo of the encounter increased.

It wouldn't be long until the outcome would be decided! The key positions were held by the Reds; the situation was hopeless for the enemy. Mopping up operations were 釔oing on methodically. Finally Uncle Joe and his red men eliminated the last enemy. The black men were all gone, and the rubber of the checker-game ser­ ies was over. Uncle Joe had won.

9 RED THE LAST OF HIAWATHA

by IVAN

Do you remember the World Series of 1947, which pitted the powerladen New York Yankees against the fighting Brookly Doclgers? If you do, no doubt you will also remember that the Mil­ waukee Brewers played in the Little World Series.

Well, here is one series that the news reporters from all over the United States did not witness; here is one radio broadcast that Gillette did not sponsor; in fact it wasn’t even broadcast. No, this series, better left unnamed, was witnessed by a huge crowd of 92 highly partisan Indian bucks, squaws, and papooses, 14 dogs, 72 goats, 3 half-dead horses, and your able supporter,—er, I mean reporter, Wenry Hodsworth Longsmcller, by whom it was writ down by hand. So without further ado, I will begin the narration.

This is the tale of Hiawatha When he play with Stinkin* Creek; This the tale of baseball player Who got ‘baccer in his cheek.

Him a player, mighty great, Him got swing, oh yes, it true, Like no man can imitate ’Less him b’long to chaingang crew.

Now it time of frosting leaves, It the time when ducks fly south, It the time when Indian grieves: Tourist no more feed *um mouth.

It the time when New York Yankees Got ’um series with “dem Bums” At the same time Stinkin' Creek “Braves Got ’uni game with Mudflats* “Scums.”

Happy moment, all are cheery.

Hiawatha up at bat.

Him look steady, tho’ eyes bleary; And him cool as frying fat.

He decide to rattle pitcher, Make ’um really pitch ’em in.

So, with hiccup, him draw breath, And with stagger he begin.

160

RED “Ho, you heap一of great big walrus.

Ho, you sack of empty husks.

You got head like empty pumpkin, And your face like moose at dusk.

You got arm like burnt off pine tree.

You got brain that mighty lame; You got heart of long dead carp-fish, Also smell is much the samc.,> Paleface pitcher of the Mudflats, Face get dark, fist start to itch.

But him laugh a dirty laughter, Him got magic on his pitch.

Say the pitcher of the Mudflats: “Watch yore head, yew empty crock.

Watch the fust pitch splash yore slats.

Boy, it shore will stop yore clock.”

Bases loaded, two men out, Last of ninth, three runs behind.

Fans in stands, they all now shout, They got homerun on the mind.

Hiawatha, him wave bat.

Comes the first of pitchers slants.

Haw, the brave and mighty fighter Sit ’em hard on seat of pants.

“Ball one,” shout ’um boy in black, Pitcher give ’um loud guffaw, “Watch this one, you’ll break yore back.”

Then him take the ball in paw.

Here come pitch: oh, him swing hard, Only miss by foot or two.

Pitcher, holler, “Tub of lard!’’

Batter turn ’um kind of blue! * Oh, this big-mouth mangy dog.

Hiawatha make him sad.

As him boiling, ball go by.

“Strike two!” shout?— black-clad cad. um ^ *—Blue is here meant as a sign of rage, since an Indian is red already. One could have put the two colors together and said pur­ ple, but did you ever try to rhyme anything with “purple?”

Get ’um hit, oh Keemosomis, Get，um hit or lose ’um fame!’’

Game is over, for him miss!

Now game done; him “tub of lard;” Pitcher said it, that he is.

Hiawatha, him got style; Him got ease and dainty grace; Him go far, yes, mile by mile, Run like blazes to save face.

CALL IT EDUCATION or THE GUY WHAT INVENTED IT IS LUCKY TO BE DEAD

by M. P.

Chain yourself to your desk! Put a lock on your door! Do anything, but don’t wander out of your room after study hour, unless of course you have resigned yourself to the common fate of the canteen-goer.

It is a well-established assumption that you’ve studied from 7:30 to 9:45. Say you have an average day for tomorrow—let’s see now; history~outline American history from colonial begin­ nings to end of Revolution—might have a quiz―oh yes, don’t for­ get to analyze the constitution; English—not too much, just be able to write something intelligent on Geoffrey Chaucer and works—maybe a review or two on some early English literature; German—not bad, only the first volume of Bielcho'vsky and thirty lines of Faust to memorize; Greek—almost forgot, heavy assign­ ment this time—read through first twelve chapters of Acts in the original一vocable quiz on first six chapters. Now that you’ve got something to work on, by 9:45 (remember, it is assumed that you have studied) you should have read the preamble, looked up Chau­ cer^ dates, German being quite foreign, you didn’t do yet, and Greek you looked at in the King James version (Long live the king! Elizabeth just had a baby boy).

B-r-r-r-r-r-i-n-g! Recess! After more than two hours of sol­ id bucking you should deserve a little rest. Take a run down to the canteen. “One ice cream bar and a Dads!” (It’s the only 12 oz. bottle left). “Hello, you old greaser! How ya cornin’？” “You 162

RED should talk!” The gang gets together and the words start flowin’ on some favorite theme—profs or sports or women or anything— and the time starts flyin’.

Several hours later may find the discussion beginning to repeat itself. One of the intelligentsia of the group realizes this of course, so he slowly but reluctantly makes attempts to leave. An­ other hour and the session is dispersed. By some odd quirk of fate you find yourself in your room again; the same old books are still cluttering up the desk; they shock you back to stark reality. Say, but the dorm is really quiet now. Just right for studying―or (yawn) sleeping as the case may be. What! One-thirty already?

You'll just have to get some sleep. Wearied by the profound dis­ cussion of th eprevious hours, you have no choice in the matter.

Tomorrow, after such fluency, such eloquence of the night be­ fore, you sit in class—mute. If you had only gone to bed early, so you could have greased between breakfast and chapel, but no, you were so tired, you slept right through. You got the “Bullsession Blues.” It isn’t that you didn’t want to study」you just didn’t get around to it.

Ah, sweet poison of the learned mind; ah, magic potion, depriver of precious time; thou leadest one to thy carefree vale of joys where soon the avalanche of woes o’erwhelms thy pleasures.

Go, Bull-session, go away from here; from now on let me study without fear. (What ya say, fellas? Let’s break it up; got a “little” buckin’ to do yet. G*night!)

Thanksgiving ...

AYE you ever felt uncomfortable when you picked up a newspaper on Thanksgiving Day? Does the gigantic turkey pictured on a conspicuous page make you shake your head and think: “Hypocrites?” 1 have often wondered who the worst hypo­ crites are: We or the unbelievers. We sit back like Pharisees and shake our heads in mock alarm at the sham the world attaches to this day.

Are we justified in condemning the world for setting- aside one day each year for the giving of thanks ? Yes, in a sense we are.

For very often, in fact, always, the unbeliever thanks not Gocl for the abundance of the past year but his own industry and hard work.

Is it not true that even the founder of Thanksgiving Day as we know it did not know what it means to thank God? 164

RED Even if these things are true, is it not also true that we who are fully aware of the continual riches of God’s blessings very of­ ten forget that with us, every day is Thanksgiving Day? It does us Christians good to have the world remind us of our negligence and our privilege. The unbeliever does remind us on this day that we have been very remiss in thanking our God for even the temp­ oral blessings lie has given us. Would we not fall far shorter if we were to try and even begin to thank him for the priceless gift of His Son, our Savior? 一 N. E. Menke

Chapel ■… jpN THE day before the big football game we hold a pep ral!* ly. Everyone gets out and cheers and yells and laughs and boasts. The game isn’t until the next day and the opponents aren’t even around to be flustered and disturbed. ‘.Why, then, the noise, before the game?”

The answer: It’s applied psychology, my good friend. A crowd doesn't suddenly become a group of spirited, enthusiastic rooters just as the first whistle blows. It has to be put in the mood.

It has to be excited and aroused. If there is going to be a gang of enthusiasts on the field, there has to be a little preparation.

If psychological preparation works in one instance, why not apply it to another. Our chapel exercises are fully as important as our football games, aren’t they ? Couldn’t we use the few minutes between the bell and the beginning of chapel to prepare for chapel? Suddenly forgetting everything else and thinking of the Lord doesn’t happen just as we start to sing the hymn. We have to change moods from the jokes up in the clubroom to the serious concentration that is “Andacht”，the “thinking upon” the Lord.

When we go to church to worship we have a little period of silent preparation accompanied by pleasant organ music which helps to cover distracting sounds. Is something like that out of place here?

True, our rather bare classroom-chapels aren’t especially conduc­ ive to meditation, but that doesn’t alter the fact that they are set aside as the house of God at the time of our daily services. We have the time, and the organs could help with a little prelude.

Couldn’t we begin to slow down as we step into chapel instead of adding our voice to the babble that works up to a grand climax with, “LET US SING HYMN NUMBER 543, 5-4-3!!!!”

If someone wants to argue that “psychological preparation” for chapel as suggested is too great an appeal to the emotions and that God comes without our own fancy preparation, let the argu­ ment stand. But perhaps the Lord has visited the fellow beside us and he wants a quiet moment to “think upon” the meaning of chapel.

憊铍饬佐 Cinema

•

N WEDNESDAY evening, October 13, the movie, “House on 92nd Street, was presented by the Junior class. The plot of the story centers around the activities of the F. B. I. during the last war. The story tells of the methodical investigations pursued by the F. B. I. in beating foreign espionage at their own game of undermining the industrial, social, and military status of the Uni­ ted States.

A brilliant university graduate was approached and persuaded

by German agents to become an espionage agent for the German government. In reality he was working for the F. B. I. seeking in­ side information on German spy movements in the United States.

By compiling information gathered by this student, the F. B. I. was able to smash a well-organized spy ring.

The movie, “Les Miserables,” was presented to the students on October 25. The story centers around a Frenchman who had been sentenced to the galleys for petty thievery. Throughout his life he never wore off the stigma of having once been a victim of penal servitude. He was continually resisting the governmental regime of his day. After having served his term in the galleys, he returned to social life, gradually building up his reputation and gaining respect. He soon became a leader in his community and was elected mayor. He joined with the younger set when they tried to overthrow the government. During his entire life he was hunt­ ed by a man of the law, who finally gave up the chase and left the Frenchman free to live his own life as he chose.

RED Winged Victory .… *m^iEDNESDAY evening, November 10, wc trekked over to the with high hopes of seeing another stellar production but unfortunately we must say with Whittier: “For of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these: ‘It might have been’ ！’’ From the title, we were all set for a great evening’s entertainment but were as disappointed as a politicial pollster after the election.

To add to the boredom, the movie was one of the longest shown so far this season and one could almost sense the anguish of the audience when they saw a fourth boring reel being put into the projector. Tlie wise souls of the audience left at the end of the third reel, but those of a stouter stamp remained to the bitter end, determined to squeeze the last cent from their $17.00 activity fee.

(Having- learned frugality from my mother, I confess I was also ill the latter category.)

Briefly, llu* story is this: "I'lirce air-struck youths, obsessed with a desire to fly, enlist together in the air corps. After gruel­ ing elimination tests, one of the three “washes out” and continlies his training as a gunner. The other two continue their flight training. This twosome is again broken up by the death of one of them during ni«：ht flying maneuvers. The remaining member of the trio finishes his flight training and upon receiving his wings is assigned to the Pacific theater of war, christening his bomber “Winged Victory”，Through some strange quirk of fate, his buddy at gunnery school turns up as the gunner for his plane too. A few feet of bombing scenes are now injected to satisfy the “blood and thunder” addicts, and the picture ends on a prophetic note with our hero promising his newborn son that a brighter, warless world is just around the corner.

Although the story left much to be desired, the background music composed by David Rose was enjoyable anyway. This was the last movie of the entertainment series until next spring. Per­ haps by then the duels of the fall season will have been forgotten.

But there’s no getting around it, Juniors, you'll have to own up to the fact that hereafter you’ll have to base your selection of movies upon more than mere intriguing titles. 一 “Meshky” 167

RED Tres Artes ...

NOVEMBER 1, when Republicans were still happy, Trcs Artes presented a political debate open to all collcgiales. De­ baters on the Democratic side: P. Wilde and H. Scharlemann; on the Republican side: M. Westerliaus and K. Biedenbender. Ac­ cording to a vote of the enthusiastic audience the debate was won by the Democrats - though the listeners (with a few - ahem - notable exceptions) would still have voted for Dewey. But chccr up, all you Republicans, maybe you’ll still have the right to vole in 1952!

Tres Artes’ program for November 12 was a presentation of: “A drama? No. A scene? No.—A dream? Yes, a dream” (un­ quote, Menke). It was highly entertaining and rather effectively put on.、The author of this new release, by the way, is Mr. Menke himself.

normal mystery man has produced another strange phenomenon.

His most recent effort brought forth another tremendous job. I can only hold my nose and say, “You’re a better man than I am, Mr. X!” On October 23 the Northwestern College “chickens” flew up to Mission House and started to cackle. Coach Umnus put foot­ ball suits on some of the chickens and then let them out of their cages eleven at a time. These so-called “chickens” promptly pro­ ceeded to give Mission House a beating that the Huskies ought to remember for time and eternity. When it was all over, the “chick­ ens” had a 41-0 victory tucked away under their wings, and they flew back to Northwestern with a feeling of great satisfaction.

The moral: You may call a spade a spade but don’t call a Gosling a chicken—you might get scratched.

A pre-election vote was held in a meeting of TRES ARTES, and there opinion heavily favored Dewey and his boys. Our two staunch Democrats, Bob and Herb Scharlemann, were of course completely satisfied with the actual outcome. But there were few others who shared their sentiment. The Republican battle cry is again, "Wait till next time!” Maybe l)y the next election there will be only one candidate, and then we can all just give Harry a vote of confidence. *

RED “Yardbird” Schaller and “lnick private” Spaude just can’t wait to get into the service of Uncle Sam, or so it seems. Both of these brave defenders of democracy were in such a hurry to return their selective service questionnaires that they failed to get the letter necessary for deferment from President Kowalke. Just think of us slaving away over “Pluto” and “jfewbi.ew” when you're having fun peeling those G.I. potatoes, eh, fellers?

“Horsey” I-illegard, the Junior class’s new slumber artist from Mankato, just won't let anything keep him from attending classes.

Maybe you have* noticed the numerous razor nicks that have been adorning- the jowls of the boys who shave a la safety razor.

The reason for this l)loo(ly situation is clearly evident, There are no shaving lights in the wash rooms. If the situation isn’t changed for the better pretty soon, we bearded burlars will either have to find other.cheeks to shave or else take up a collection and buy some candles.

Homecoming with most of the old frills and with plenty of new ones has returned to N W C in no uncertain terms. This years homecoming was a big- step in the right direction. We had a sharp, well-arranged parade, a pep rally with plenty of zip, a nice big bon­ fire, an enjoyable luncheon-banquet after the game, and most lmportant of all, we won the game. I could write reams on the indi­ vidual events and on the people that made homecoming such a big success. Let it suffice to sav 一 that the whole student body, faculty and their wives, alumni, friends, and our well-coached football team all did their particular jobs well. Let’s hope for the same fine cooperation next year and an even bigger homecoming.

A king-sized Lutheran teachers’ convention was held here in Watertown at St. John’s and St. Mark’s during the first days of November. The student body was agreed on two things at least in connection with that convention. We all wished that more of our profs would have attended the conference more often and that more of the school marnis would have toured N W C. Famous last word of Prof. I. M. Woozy, late of Dupuke Col­ lege, as he passed out while coughing up his cookies: “Urp.” 171

First Conference Victory CONCORDIA—12

NORTHWESTERN—39

The Cougars, expecting to avenge the 31-12 defeat of last year, were again thoroughly trounced by the Northwestern grid machine.

Although the game was marred by frequent fumbles, it was definitely high-lighted by the shifty and fancy running of Don Bitter, who alone gained 158 yards.

Scoring at least one touchdown in every quarter, the hard driving N. W. C. gridders ran wild over the Concordia Cougars.

Unable to get their offense rolling the first five minutes, the Gos­ lings suddenly exploded with a 57 yard jaunt and a score by Don Bitter. Eickmann converted to make the score 7-0. Concordia then drove back to Northwestern’s five yard line, where Dick Buss, big N. W. C. tackle, stole the ball and raced 95 yards to score the sec­ ond T.D. The Varsity added another score in the second period to one for the Cougars to hold a 20-6 halftime score.

The Black and Red men roared back in the third quarter and scored’ again on a pass from Malchow to Hackbarth, who raced the remaining 40 yards for the score. “Slingin” Dan hit Nommy for another score in the third quarter and again rifled to Krueger in the fourth quarter for the final score.

MISSION HOUSE-O

NORTHEWESTERN—41

Oh those vicious chickens!! Mission House made the extreme mistake of referring to the Northwestern Goslings as a flock of “chickens” (and printing it). That was enough一the result was a 41-0 rout and a ruined homecoming for the Huskies.

Though held to a scoreless tie in the first quarter, the Gos­ lings shattered the Muskie defense and rolled up 21 points in the 173

second period. On the first play of the second quarter little Paul Manthey exploded into the end zone to end a 78 yard drive. *'Auto­ matic Eick’ ’ hooted the hall squarely through the uprights. A few moments later George Hackbarth carried the ball on a reverse, twisting and spinning 40 yards to pay dirt. Eickmann again converted and the score stood 14-0.

The final score of tlie first half came as a result of very poor signal scoring Oil the part of the Muskie quarterback. Having stopped Northwestern on the Muskie nine yard line with 10 seconds remaining to he played until the half, the Muskies elected to punt. The punt of “Moose” Colton, who tried to kick out of bounds, backfired and lost one yard. The Goslings took over on the Mission House eight yard stripe with two seconds of playing time remaining. ()n tlie next play, Malchow hit Nommy in the end zone as tlie gun went ofT. Eickmann successfully converted to make the score 21-0 at the half.

Coming hack just as strong tlie second half the Goslings rolled up three mure touchdowns. Kay Kaiser, Gosling center, intercepted his second pass of the game to set up the fourth T.D. Malchow again hit Nommy, and this time Nommy ran the last fifteen yards for ihe score. Phil Strohm booted the extra point.

Score 28-0. The last iwo touchdowns were engineered by A1 Bit­ ter, Krueger and Sonimertield. These boys drove 72 yards with Paul Manthey scoring the T.D. “Nevermiss” Eickmann did it again.

The final score came late in the fourth quarter and as a result of a pass interception by Krueger. Sommerfield ploughed over from the four. Final score 41-0.

The Muskies will long remember that decisive homecoming defeat.

Still Rolling Along MILTON-6 NORTHWESTERN—20 Northwestern’s homecoming was a complete success. On Friday afternoon the Varsity ploughed over the Milton griclders before an unusually large homecoming crowd. A perfect clay plus homecoming spirit inspired the Goslings to display a good brand of ball to defeat Milton 20-6.

The Goslings scored the 'first time they got their hands on the ball early in the first period. Northwestern kicked off and then recovered the ball oii Milton’s 35 yard stripe when a Milton receiver dropped the ball. The Goslings scored quickly^: Fricke reel­ ed off thirty yards to the four and Danny Malchow ploughed over for the score. “Automatic Eick” made the score 7-0.

The Black and Red men started rolling again a few minutes later in the same quarter. Starting on their own 49 yard stripe the Goslings bucked and passed their way down to the two; Don Bitter then bucked over to score. again split the up­ rights.

Neither team could score in the second period, but early in the third period Northwestern scored again. Krueger passed to Man­ they in the end zone for the final score. The attempted conversion was wide. The score stood 20-0.

Milton suddenly came to life. Starting Oil their own 30 they marched straight down field 70 yards to score. The attempted conversion failed.

Northwestem threatened twice in the fourth quarter. Passes were completed to Nommensen, but time ran out with the ball on 176

费RED the Milton five yard stripe. Milton made no serious threats in the fourth quarter. All attempted scoring was thwarted by an alert Gosling pass defense.

0 6 0 20 NORTHWESTERN 14 0 6 0 0 6 MILTON Because of the excitement and confusion during and after this home­ coming game, no statistics were kept. The most pleasing feature of the game was the outstanding running of “Blondie” Manthey. That kid can really rip off the yards.

Whew! ! ! !

AURORA—7 NORTHEWESTERN—14 The best game of the season was played at Aurora, 111. A previously unbeaten Aurora eleven was defeated by the once-beaten Goslings. By defeating Aurora the Goslings moved into a first place tie.

Both teams were light, fast, and very evenly matched. The first time the Goslings g"ot their hands on the ball they marched straight down the field to the four yard line with Bitter and Man­ they carrying the pigskin. A fumble on the four ended the drive.

The Spartans recovered the ball and marched right back to North­ western^ five; Mahoney fumbled and the Goslings recovered. The Varsity was unable to capitalize on the break although pushing deep into Aurora’s territory. The Spartans came back pushing 67 yards to.score. Mahoney ripped off the last eighteen yards. The conversion was good. The Umnusmen came right back and knot­ ted the score. Three aerials tossed by “slingin’ Dan’ ’found their mark and the final pass to Manthey covered the remaining 25 yards to the goal. Eickmann—as a matter of routine—booted a perfect placement to tie the score 7-7.

Neither team could score in the third period although both teams drove deep down field. Northwestern remained stalled on the Spartan thirteen yard stripe with one and one-half minutes r.e-

RED maining to be played in the game, On fourth down Phil Strohm fell back to the 25 and attempted a field goal which missed by inches. Aurora took over on their own twenty and it looked as if the game would end in a tie. The Spartans threw passes all over the lot in a frantic effort to score. With 31 seconds of the game remaining a Spartan back faded back to throw a long one; he was trapped by the Gosling forward wall pouring in; in his despera­ tion he attempted to run back a few more yards; he then tried to pass, but his arm was partially blocked by the hard charging Stan Holt and the ball floated away only a few yards. '*Richie on the spot” Buss took the ball on the 14 and raced over for l he winning tally. Eichmann again converted to make the score 14-7.

The Goslings were playing without the services of two regulars. Both Dan Gieschen and George Hackbarth were injured previously.

It was a hard fought game but by no means “(lirl〉，’’. Tlie Gos­ lings agreed that the Aurora team was the cleanest one they had played this season. The sportsmanship of the Spartans was ex­ cellent. We commend them highly for their sportsmanlike conduct, their honest rivalry, and courteous relations m this game.

Our wish is that more teams would follow the sportsman’s code.

Win or lose—a clean, hard fought game is a lot of fun.

CHRISTMAS MIKE AR1E

It was a frigid December night when Carlyel was standing on his usual corner of Hopper’s Department Store. You see, Carlyel was a Santa Claus—one of those Santas that stand like stationary soldiers on every other corner down the big main street. They wear red suits and have small tinkling- bells and huge old pots, us­ ually filled with dull and worn pennies with an occasional silver piece peeking through the treasure.

Every night Carlyel noticed that a little newsboy would stand with his nose pressed tightly against Hopper’s corner show windo'v. This window wasn’t an elaborate one; there were no models with fluffy ruffles and long swinging skirts nor was it a window packed full of toys,,No—this window was very plain. It had only a wide bulky sign with thick black letters which read: “Christmas ' Puppies FOR §ALE $5.00.

Night after night Carlyel had watched Danny, our little news­ boy, pass longing glances at a wee tawny brown waif who already knew and loved Danny. As Danny would stand there he would reach in his shabby pocket and pull out small chnange amounting to $2.50. No matter how many times he counted it, it always added up to $2.50. He needed $2.50 more―was it too late?!!

182

RED The day before there were ten puppies; yesterday there were four; today there were only two, but Danny’s was still there (you see—Danny had already named his clog).

Danny stood there for hours and big tears began to roll clown his cheeks. Christmas was tomorrow, and he still hadn't enough money to buy “Mike”.

A stuffy floor-manager would come and give Dannny a picrcing look and motion him to “go awayM! Danny thought the floormanager was mean when he would point to ’‘Mike’’ and then proud­ ly to himself and shake his head NO until Danny thought it would fall off.

“Mike” would jump against the show window wagging his tail and Danny would reach to hug him, but always his reach would be stopped by a hard brittle transparent substance called—glass!

Oh, Danny hated glass, especially now. It was the only thing that stopped Danny and “Mike” from being together (of course the $5.00 had something to do with it too).

The store-manager came back again, only this time there was another man with him. Yes—an elderly man dressed in red from head to foot and carrying a large worn pot and a small bell. It was Carlyel! Danny saw him through the mist that came to his eyes; yes, he remembered him now, for he had told him about “Mike”. Danny’s heart beat hard now in long agonizing beats.

Every beat pleaded that the little man in red, Carlyel, would not purchase his “Mike”. He shifted nervously from one foot to the other, clutching the $2.50 with all his strength; he bit his lip until it smarted with pain. He tried to keep the tears from streaming down his cheeks.

They called “Mike” but the pup became frightened and ran toward Danny. Again Danny reached for the small slender longlegged pup, but again he hit the cold glassy substance that separ­ ated the boy from his dog.

The. floor-manager shook his fat fist with protests of anger and motioned Danny to go!

Slowly Danny stepped around the corner as he saw “Mike” being tucked under the arm of the manager. Danny’s vision blur­ red. He wanted to run—but where he did not know. The crowded street was dotted with heedless people. Danny started to run—he wanted to get away! He ran weaving in and out, dodging- large husky women, small children, silly girls, sassy boys, and men bur­ ied behind bundles. He ran, seeking escape from something which he knew not. Someone seemed to be following him, calling his name. He did not stop to look behind. As he reached his tenement 183

RED house gasping for breath he climbed the dark creaky stairs and threw open the huge door and ran to the corner of the one room apartment. Still clutching the $2.50, he cried.

Suddenly he heard footsteps coming up the narrow hallway and they seemed to stop in front of his door. The door opened just a trifle and Danny heard the sound of little padded feet hit the bare floor. He opened his eyes wide and there right before him stood “Mike”. He reached slowly for him as if expecting to touch glass, but he didn’t, lie felt a warm bundle of fur, two small ears, and a cold nose.

Outside in the stillness of the night could be heard heavy steps and the sweet notes of a little hell. They were rapidly fading away.

Santa was going home!

THE STORY BEHIND OUR CHRISTMAS PLANTS AND FLOWERS htj R. KIRST

At Christmas lime tradition and legend lend the season an cspecially bright and colorful atmosphere, from the various carols and hymns to the customary foods on the table and decorations about the house. Why. if we hang- mistletoe up at Christmas time, does it give the plant a special significance? Why would we nat­ urally use holly leaves rather than oak to make a wreath for our door? Tradition has the answer. Many of us have one or another idea why we decorate an evergreen tree and set it in our homes; but aside from the traditional Christmas tree there are other flowers and plants associated with the season, and holly is regarded next in rank to the evergreen tree. The ancient carol: “Decjc the halls with boughs of holly, 'tis the season to be jolly!” indicates its early use. The holly was used in ancient Rome in connection with the Saturnalia, a festival celebrated at about the same time of year in which Christmas comes, in honor of Saturn, god of agriculture. It w;is believed that Saturn caused the hush to grow in all of its beauty when most other trees are bare of foliage. Friends sent sprigs of holly to each other just before the Saturnalia as tokens of good will and to express their wishes for ^ood fortune in the future. The Christian tradition of the use of holly at Christmas connects the birth of the Savior with His suffering and death.

It was referred to as “Christ-thorn”； the prickly points and berries resembling drops of blood were reminders that Mary’s Child was born to wear a crown of thorns. Another “thorn” bush or small tree that has its significance at Christmas time is the Glastonbury thorn, or hawthorn, which bears pure white fragrant blossoms.

Legend credits Joseph of Arimathea with bringing the gospel to 184

赛RED Britain about the year 70 A. D, At Glastonbury he built the first Christian church in Britain according to tradition of 4<tvvisted twigs，’，and when he stuck his staff into the ground it grew into a beautiful tree which blossomed just at Christmas. under The mistletoe usually seen hanging in a doorway chandelier is traced back to the ancient druids ,who believed that this plant had peculiar healing powers which they called **Guidhel” or all-heal. The Saxons named it “misteltaii” that is, a shoot or tine of a tree. It was taken over into the Christian imdition as symbolical of the healing power of the Lord and was used to dec­ orate altars in the church at Christmas. Beneath the mistletoe “whose leaves resemble wings with a pearl in the niicklle”, the Christians of long ago gave each other the sacred kiss of peace and good will as a token of reconciliation before receiving com­ munion. One of the oldest Christmas songs is the Cherry Tree Carol, based on a legend which gives the cherry tree its present significance. As Mary and Joseph passed a tree covered with cherries on the way to Bethlehem, Mary asked Joseph to pick some for her. Joseph refused this request and immediately the cherry tree bent down its branches within Mary's reach. There is a cus­ tom among the Czechs and Slovaks to take the branch of a cherry tree and plant it in water late in fall so that the buds reach the blossoming stage at Christmas time. It was believed that if it would blossom by Christmas eve, the girl who tended it would soon be married in the New Year.

“Rosemarie and Baies that are most faire were stuck about the house and the churches at the lime of Christmas/' writes an an­ cient historian, and according to tradition it was the bay tree with its lance-like leaves and purple berries that sheltered the holy fam­ ily during a thunder storm. It was also believed that lightning '^ill never strike a bay tree, so many people used its branches at Christmas as a protection against misfortune. Again traditionally the rosemary plant held the garments of the Christ-child placed upon it by Mary on the way to Egypt. The rose at Christmas time honors the Savior who is called the Rose of Sharon. There are also various legends about the rose. One tells us of a little shep­ herd girl who had no gift to bring the Christ-chilcl. As her broth­ ers hastened on, she stayed behind and suddenly an angel appear­ ed to her in a glow of light and scattered beautiful white roses on the path. These the girl gathered up to present to J esus. Another famous Christmas rose is called the Rose of Jericho which is said to have sprung up in the desert, during the flight into Egypt, wher­ ever the feet of Mary stepped. It is also called the Resurrection Plant because, after closing on the first Good Friday, it again open­ ed up its blossoms on the first Easter Day. 185

RED The poinsettia, a comparatively recent introduction among our Christmas plant flowers, has become the universal American Christ­ mas plant. Its flowers are actually the small yellow centers of the bright red bracts, which in other (lowers form small greenish cups below the petals. The plant is named for Dr. Joel Poinsett, who in 1829, after four years of service in Mexico as minister from the U. S. brought this plant with him to the garden of “Casa Bianca” his South Carolina home at Charleston. In Mexico the poinsettia is regarded as the “(lower of the holy night.” It also is ’ connected with a legend about a little girl on her way to church who was sad because she had no gift to bring. As she drew near the church she knelt on the ground in prayer. Arising again she saw a plant with vivid crimson blooms spring up before here feet.

It was the poinsettia. She plucked its branches and laid them as her gift on the altar.

Tradition on certain occasions tends to become an important factor and may at times obscure an underlying or basic reason.

Among certain creeds it is placed superior to biblical truth. When this is done it has definitely become an evil. If we can however observe traditions with a clear conscience in regard to the Bible and do not base dogmas of faith on them, there certainly is no reason to discard harmless customs with which the Christmas season is filled.

HOW DEMOSTHENES BECAME FAMOUS

by N, E.

You know, Demosthenes had not always been an orator. No, he had always been a very patient and silent man. In fact his wife Sporophrenia had always lovingly told him, whenever he asked her of course, that there wasn’t a more ^patient or reserved man in the whole kit and kaboodle of babbling Athenian heroes in the Agora. Yes, she had told him, as often "as he wanted her to, that not even chaste and stony old Pallas could have been more reserved.

But this morning was different. Mossy, as his darling but sometimes anoninyg wife loved to call him, had a veritable Pluto of a headache. His cursed eyes, reserved and Socratic as they had always been, seemed this morning to be in league with the whole underworld: for they flashed bleary and diabolic fire across the breakfast table. Every move was sheerest agony to the sage and invaluable head. He bleated more pitiably and more loudly than the ram which had carried Odysseus from the Cyclops’ cave and roundly cursed all Symposiums, or more specifically all Falernian wine. In short, Demosthenes had a beastly hangover. Everything 186

赛RED irritated the poor unfortunate this morning: his wife especially.

Morosely munching at a crust of her habitually lousy bread, which tasted very like an arm of some ancient Egyptian Ra or Pta or even Ptoo that had lain in the desert for two or five centuries, he cursed these modern women who trotted around to the public baths all day instead of learning to cook and muttered something into his • • • beard about her having been rightly named the scattcrpatrician brain.her name implied. Whereupon his abused spouse, who never heard him when he said something important, railed upon him with the malevolence of every spirit in the underworld. There ensued the fiercest domestic altercation in the history of the noblest city of them all. As always, Demosthenes fared no better with his wife than Socrates did with his, and so he stalked off into the courtyard to allow his pride to rankle in sweet solitude and also to soak his aching and now also bruised head in the fountain.

It did him much good to bask there in the morning sun and he consequently forgot entirely his appointment at the Agora.

But suddenly he heard the clank clank of the greaves of the knock-kneed public messenger who was sent to summon late comers. With a panic-stricken shout he sprang to his feet and bawled mightily for a slave to send the messenger back with apologies.

He ran frantically into the portico toward the cloakroom and there while rounding a stately Doric column he collided with the unfortunate slave. Since it was very dark in the portico between all those classic columns and statues the slave was carrying- an oil lamp. When the miserable slave collided with the hero, some of the oil tragically fell upon the untouchable toe, thus giving the noble Athenian a thorough and historic hotfoot. Cursing the Pan­ theon from alpha to omega poor Demosthenes dashed away with diabolic speed to the cloakroom and tore his robe from its place over the arm of a marble Apollo. In the heroic haste this stupid item also was knocked to the floor and shattered with the force of the tug. Now quite mad Demosthenes swirled his cloak, which had had the audacity to tear its unworthy self on the arm of the statue, about him and started for the Agora. His garrulous wife, hearing herself again cursed from the foyer, came to torment him as he left and tossed his best laurel wreath, which he had forgotten, after him. He returned hastily to retrieve it from where it had fallen in the street, but the nag pulling the cart of a passing gar­ lic vendor beat him to it and devoured the cherished headpiece with bestial relish. This was the last straw; sobbing incoherently and delirious with rage our hero rushed away in momentary in­ sanity to vent his fury on his colleagues in the Agora.

When he was about half way he remembered his reputation.

Always Demosthenes had been the silent but influential noble per187

RED sonality. No,—he refused to forfeit his hard-won influence. Never woukl Demosthenes become a blowhard. He must control his • temper no matter what it cost him. So he went to the seashore to cool off. Stuffing his mouth with pebbles, so he would not be heard, he vented his spleen on the «nhearing waves. Then he stop­ ped in sage amazement; for the goatsmilksop, the meek and pli­ able Demosthenes who let anyone tread on him, had actually outroared the boom of the waves.

He swept his cloak majestically around his heroic shoulders, inflated his magnificent chest and strode off to the assembly of the Greeks to dazzle them with his new-found powers.

He arrived at a very propitious time. The sage heroes of Athens were deadlocked. Just such power as Demosthenes now possessed would be required to break- the fierce deadlock.

So Demosthenes became famous as the most forceful orator of all Greece; and to have such acclaim from the Greeks them­ selves you and I know takes quite a man. The issue which our hero had de[ended so brilliantly was the prohibition of the sale of intoxicating liquors in Athens. And you and I know that to have such a law passed in Athens takes quite a man. In fact it impossible thing to do, even for a Demosthenes. was almost After his brilliant success our hero went home to his little home and was thrown out of the house again by his wife. So to drown his sorrows he had to get drunk again on Falernian wine.

He awoke the next morning with a splitting headache, but he thought it was worth it, don’t you?

FOLLOWED

by PAUL

Jacob A. Brown, attorney at law, carefully locked the door of his small office and walked down the stairs to the outside. Glanc­ ing at his watch, Brown saw he had worked later than he had im­ agined. A cold wind blew across his face and he turned up his coat collar as he prepared to walk the ten blocks to his hotel room.

It was then that he noticed a man standing in a doorway across the street watching him. Thinking nothing of it, the young attor­ ney-pulled his hat lower on his head and started the lonely walk back to his hotel.

As he crossed the next street corner, Brown casually glanced behind him. He saw a man about thirty yards behind him who suddenly stopped when Brown did. The man lit a cigarette and in the brief flare from the match, the attorney saw two small black 188

SIRED eyes staring at him. Brown began to walk faster. Every few min­ utes he quickly glanced behind him but always the same man was in view.

“I’ll duck in the next drugstore,” Brown said to himself. * Al­ though it*s probably just some drunk who can’t find his way home.”

But to his dismay, the next drugstore he came to was closed.

Brown then remembered they all closed at 10 P. M. and it was al­ ready 11:15. He further realized that the streets were practically deserted, which made matters even worse. Yet lie could think of no reason for being followed unless—and then it dawned on him.

Just two weeks before he had helped to send a man to jail by his brilliant oratory in court. This man had promised to get even with Brown if it was the last thing he did. The stranger follow­ ing the lawyer was most likely a friend of the man sentenced to jail, bound and determined to carry out the threat.

J. A. Brown stopped again and turned around. The man was still there but this time instead of stopping also, he kept coming forward with a fixed look on his face. Immediately the frightened attorney broke into a swift run and did not stop until lie reached his hotel. Taking the steps two at a time, he finally came to his room panting heavily and with sweat streaming down his face.

Then to calm his nerves he took a book from the shelf, sat down in an easy chair and began to read. All was quiet through­ out the seven-story hotel, which did not at all please Mr. Brown.

Suddenly a faint hum reached the frighted man’s ears. He real­ ized at once that it was the self-operating elevator beginning to ascend. The hum gradually got louder and then stopped at his floor. He heard the grating of the elevator door as it slid open.

Next the sound of a man’s footsteps coming down the hall toward his room reached him. Directly in front of the door they stopped.

Brown watched with horror as the door, which he had forgotten to lock, slowly opened revealing a tall man with a black hat pulled low over his eyes. The man started to come forward. Brown, too frightened to yell, sat frozen in the chair. Directly in front of the attorney the tall man stopped. Quickly his gloved hands were around his victims throat and then— — “Cut!” yelled the director. “That’s all for today.”

And the actors filed off the set as the cameras stopped turning.

RED TICK--TICK--TICK b,j MALCOLM D. THOMSON

A young lad lay in bed. An old gold watch ticked loudly; in fact, it kept him awake. “Oh, that old time piece,” he said.

“What a noise it makes! All it does is tick, tick, tick—ah me.”

"All I do is lick .tick, tick—ha? You young whipper snap­ per !

Who said that? “ I did.”

Who arc you?”

"Your aged watch, for whom you have such little respect. Do you know my history, young man?” **\Vhy. my father gave you to me when I came here to school.

You were liis graduation present I believe.

Is that all you know about me? Listen; I will tell you more.

My first real home was in a jewelry shop. I lived in a fine plush box. In those days I was bright and shiny. I was one of the finest watches in the shop. I stayed there for quite some time. Often people would come in and look at me. They never took me home. was too expensive, they said. Then, one day, a tall, well-groomed man with greying hair and a handlebar mustache came into the shop. With him was a woman of fading beauty. Her hair was greying, and there were traces of wrinkles in her once lovely face.

When she walked she limped heavily. They told my owner that they wanted the finest watch in the shop. It was to be for their only son. He was graduating in June, and only the finest would do. The jeweler proudly took me from the shelf. Both customers agreed that I was indeed a fine watch. They instructed the jeweler to engrave me with the initials, ‘E. D. T.’ This business of engraving was new to me. I didn’t know what it meant.

“The next day I was taken from my box and laid down on my face. Suddenly I felt a sharp pain. A man was working over me with a sharp spinning tool. In a short time he stopped, I could see he was pleased. He read, half aloud, 'E. D. T.一as fine a job as I’ve ever done.’

I was again placed in my plush box. Then I was wrapped in white paper and tied with a blue and white ribbon. A short time later I was picked up by a delivery boy and taken to a large, grey house. I wondered if this could be the home of that tall, wellgroomed man and the grey haired woman who had admired me so much. Surely enough, the grey haired woman came to the door.

190

.

RED “Some time later I was taken out and placed with several other brightly wrapped packages. Then a tall, lanky lad, dressed in a blue serge suit, walked into the room. He tore open first one package; then another. At last he came to me. He ripped off the wrapping and ribbons quickly. Very carefully he opened my plush box. He gasped. He ran first to the grey haired woman; then to the tall man. Neither words nor actions seemed adequate to express his joy, his gratitude for this, his gift of gifts. They all seemed so happy. Tenderly he took me from the plush box, wound me carefully, and placed me in his pocket.

“After that I was with the red headed lad all of the time. Ev­ ery week we went to choir practice. I often noticed him looking at a young, brunette soprano. Once he took me to, what he called the choir picnic. On the bus he took the last vacant seat. The brunette soprano came in and had to stand. As the bus started he grabbed her by the hand and pulled her into his lap. Tie let her go quickly when she slapped his face. He was not discouraged, though! Soon he was going to Mary’s house every night!

“In about a year Mary and Edmond were married. I was with Eddie all of the time. When they returned from their honeymoon一 whatever that is一I didn’t see much of the grey haired woman, nor the tall, older man. I could see that Edmond was happy, and so I was, too.

“Then there came a time when Mary didn’t seem to feel well, She spent much time resting. She was happy even though a bit inconvenienced. Edmond was happy, too. Then one night the grey haired woman and the tall, older man arrived, and with them a man they called the doctor. Everyone seemed excited. Edmond paced the floor; the grey haired woman sat nervously. The tall, older man talked soothingly to Edmond, but he couldn’t get him to sit down. After some time everyone in the room jumped at a sound very strange to my ears. All eyes were fixed on a door acrps;s the hall. Edmond pulled me out of his pocket, but I wasn’t running. It reallly wasn’t my fault, though, for he had forgotten to wind me for two days. The next instant the door opened, and a voice • from within said, ‘It’s a boy!’

“That boy was you. I watched you grow. I saw you begin to walk, talk, yes, and even go to school. You know most of the rest.

I remember how you always admired me. Your father remem­ bered, too. That’s why he 客ave me to you to take to school with you. You have never really known your father as I have. Remem­ ber, I’ve been with him all these years—years when work called him away from home. I’ve been with him through those times of discouragement—depression he called it. I，ve heard him think 191

RED such fine thoughts. He always appreciated and loved me. When you left home he gave me to you—his only son. Now you com­ plain that all I do is to tick noisily.”

A thundering knock on the door caused the young lad to awaken, rub his eyes sleepily, and pick up his watch with a me­ chanical motion. Yes, there was no mistake; it was a quarter to six! He vaguely remembered that he had dreamed something about a watch— —•.a talking watch. He looked at his once as lie wound it. “Remarkable timepiece,” he thought to himself.

THE FOUR HORSEMEN

by P. E.

Listen., you can hear them in the silence of the night.

On their horses shod with thunder, in their robes of misty white, They arc riding, riding ever, riding hard in eager chase, And their quarry, pale and weary, knows he cannot hold the pace.

On a horse of milky whiteness Conies the first dark rider, In his hand a bow, on his head a crown.

His horse’s hoofs are muffled And he shoots without a word.

And his name is Pestilence.

A bloody horse the second rides, He holds a heavy sword.

He rides with a shout and wild eyes, He takes peace from the earth.

And his name is War. The third rider sits on a black horse, And he is pale and wan.

A scale has ]je, but no food: No weapon has he, but he kills.

And Famine is his name.

The last is a ghost, And his pale horse Is swiftest of all their horses.

And his name is Death.

If you listen you can hear them in the silence of the night.

But do not haste to flee in fear, nor deck yourself for a fight.

For they never lose a battle, and they never leave a chase Till the quarry is their victim, and till they have won the race.

^bxtaxhxi A Green Fir Tree ...

CHRISTMAS season is again upon us. We see it in the store windows; we read it in the papers; we hear it at ev­ ery corner. The very atmosphere in which we live becomes alive with the Christmas spirit. To nearly everyone throughout the world the Christmas tree has become a sort of symbol for this sea­ son of joy. How do we regard the Christmas tree? Is it just another expense, or another decoration with which to adorn the home in this jolly season? Is it just another custom for which people will taunt you if you don’t observe it? No, though the unbelievers may regard it as such, for us the Christmas tree is more.

It is a symbol of Christmas for us too, but it is a symbol with a deeper and fuller meaning.

Our Christmas tree is an evergreen tree. In Hosea 14, 8, we read, “I am like a green fir tree. From me is thy fruit found.”

193

抓ED Here in simple words God likens himself unto a tree that is green throughout the year. In summer or winter, rain or drought, what­ ever the season or conditions may be, this tree is a constant sym­ bol of life. It bears always the fresh, green color of living veg­ etation. Is this not a picture of the Christchild in the manger at Bethlehem? In the birth of Christ lay the fulfilment of an oft repeated prophecy. Tn that child the world finds an ever-flowing spring of Life. Mankind, lost in a desert of sin, sees this tree sprout and grow, and spread its healing branches over all who seek refuge and comfort. To many this tree is indeed just a mirage, but to those who accept this tree, who believe in its existence, it is the blessed assurance of forgiveness of sins, a rest from the heavy bur­ den which otherwise must needs have overwhelmed us.

This passage also states, “From inc is thy fruit found.” Hav­ ing sought shelter and refuge in the shadow of this tree, we pro­ ceed on our way refreshed and with new strength. Year in and year out the ^rcon fir tree produces its leaves and fruit. Wc place our reliance and trust in Christ. It is through Him alone that we may hope lo receive eternal life. He it is that wipes away our sins.

Willi this in mind our life will be one dedicated to God, to ser­ 一 vice in His fields. Our life will be one fraught with God-pleasing deeds performed out of love for this God who has given His all for the salvation of «*i sinful, miserable mankind. As the green fir tree, our life should produce continually the good works of our faith.

What is the Christmas tree in the Christian home? It is a visible and tangible reminder of our never-failing source of Life.

From it we are refreshed; by it we guide our own life and deeds.

“I am like a green fir tree. From me is thy fruit found.”

—M. Petermann

Our Collegiate Clubroom ... ^^^MONG the gripes about Northwestern College most often heard among the students is the gripe that Northwestern doesn’t have enough recreational facilities for its students. Why doesn’t Northwestern have more ?

I think one good reason is the fact that the N. W. C. students don't show appreciation for the facilities they do have.

Let’s look at our collegiate clubroom for example. Here the collegiates have a very complete selection of magazines and news­ papers, an ample supply of comfortable chairs in which they can enjoy their reading, a number of sturdy tables for card-playing etc., an excellent radio, and the necessary equipment for a smok­ ing room.

194

?RED Too many collegiates don’t seem to realize that the clubroom is a place for the less energetic recreational pastimes such as read­ ing, playing cards, talking, and listening to the radio.

Some collegiates seem to think that the clubroom is an ideal place for activities which most people perform in gyms and on athletic fields. The result is that the newspapers and magazines rapidly bite the dust, proving to be poor substitutes for baseballs, footballs, etc. The chairs and tables are also rapidly losing their original beauty and rigidity because they can’t stand up under the strain of substituting for wrestling mats and racing ponies.

Other collegiates have the silly notion that the clubroom is a place for all sorts of balancing feats and general fooling around and a place about whose appearance no one particularly cares. For this school of thought the furniture of the clubroom makes won­ derful building blocks. Theyr delight in seeing： how high they can stack the tables and chairs. For most balancing- artists a toppling heap is a failure, but for these it is a good joke. Then, too, thfe ceiling is generally considered the limit for most balancing feats, but for our collegiate balancing artists that theory is outdated.

The clubroom ceiling bears a lasting memorial of one such feat.

The daily debris of torn papers and magazines, cigarette butts and ashes, and occasionally the sand from the ash trays i sufficient evidence of the handiwork of the other members of this school of thought.

The result of the combined efforts of these groups is the rapid deterioration of our clubroom. What can one say is the cause for this foolishness ? Is it wilful neglect, vandalism, lack of consid­ eration for others, or just plain lack of a feeling of responsibility?

It’s all of these, I guess. One thing Fm sure of. It's not a sign of our appreciation for our privileges.

How about it fellows ? Are we going to continue this wilful destruction and abuse of our privileges? With just a little effort on the part of all of us our clubroom will take on an appearance which we will enjoy more and which our successors will be able to enjoy!

Praise for Winifred Bolle ...

JUNIORS chose Dec. 2 for the program season’s first adventure in ivory and black and presented Mrs. Carl Bolle of St. Paul, daughter-in-law of our former Prof. Bolle, in a piano recital. Mrs. Bolle opened her program with a Bach Prelude and Fugue done with a flawless precision that brought spontaneous approval from a critical student audience. Proceeding to a Busoni piano arrangement of Bach’s florid “Sleeper’s Wake”, she made a stirring attempt to master the cruel finger positions of Busoni’s massive and spread chords, and came through surprisingly well.

It may be said however, that her particular technique came to its greatest advantage in the final movement of Beethoven’s Sonata, Op. 2, No. 3. It was exquisitely executed with a satin touch, color­ ful interpretation and a depth of feeling. It was the highest point of her program thus far.

But Mrs. Bolle returned to reveal more of her innate talent, and chose a Schumann composition to occupy the entire second section of the program. It was the suite “旮apillons”, composed of twelve individual moods or movements. Mrs. Bolle succeeded in raising the usually pensive Schumann music into the air with a most delicate and fresh but brilliant approach. The rendition was nothing short of gratifying, and the audience responded with applause that drew three tuneful ecossaises by Chopin for an encore. With two-thirds of her program behind her, Mrs. Bolle de­ cided it was time to display some bravura. We heard the vibrant chords of Brahm’s rhythmic Rhapsody in G minor, augmented with a sharp slam on the piano wood. The forces of nature tried to molest Mrs. Bolle’s left hand. Undismayed, she quietly composed herself in a Brahm’s Intermezzo and prepared for another attempt.

This time it was Liszt, and she succeeded in throwing the switch and electrifying her audience in the cool trills of the “Waldes196

RED rauschen”. Her interpretation was definitely transporting. Mrs. Bolle then played a less common Liszt composition. She climaxed this final section with the popular Rhapsody of Dohnanyi by man­ aging its rapturous melody so effectivel y that it easily chilled any was nothing less than Philistine’s spine. The applause at the end \v thundering, but it drew only one encore, a composition by a contemporary French composer, complete with an ethereal thumb-nail glissando. We could have listened to Mrs. Bolle for another hour.

She played with the polish of a talented artist. It was more than satisfying.

Now that we’re all goosed or turkeyed or just plain fowled up after a belly-bustin’ Thanksgiving, our next objective is, of course, Christmas vacation. Only the members of the Watertown Lover’s Club feel sad when it comes to going home for vacations.

Cheer up, fellers, “Absence makes the heart grow fonder?” 木木 本氺氺 I have often wondered how a real dyed-in-the-wool American who speaks, thinks, and knows nothing but good old U. S. Eng­ lish could possibly correctly translate the numerous Latin, Italian, French, and German terms used in describing the movements of musical compositions. Here are a half dozen foreign foolers and my idea of what Joe Doakes might get out of them.

1 piu, piu, multo fortissimo: phew, phew, too many belches.

2 Kraeftig, nicht zu schnell: Kraft cheese doesn’t even smell.

3 Andante cantabile: And aunty ain’t able.

5 L’accompagnamento Viola e Due Corni: Accompanied by Viola and is she corny.

6 Stabat Mater: He stabbed his mother. 本

Philsy (<l can quit anytime” Strohm seems to have taken a liking to the old stone bench out on the campus.

Football season may claim a few casualties during the two months of its annual reign, but those first few hours after the last game annually leave a big part of the varsity squad in sad shape.

So it was again this year. Kaiser inhaled that first weed, turn­ ed blue and fell into stall no. 3. “Goat” Hein ,another nicotine nut, inhaled weed no. one and promptly coughed up his left lung. And later on after the boys really got going, you should have seen them shoot their cookies. Always remember, boys—a little goes a long way. 本 本 * * Poem ?— — Wer reitet so spaet durch Nacht und Wind ?

Final game; Goslings co-champions of BADGER-ILLINI conference! ! ! !

A beautiful day combined with a hard-fouglvt victory ended the ’48 football season on the Northwestern campus. A Northwest­ ern grid machine started very slowly finally gained enough momen­ tum to rout the University of Wisconsin Extension’s football team 30-6 to end a very successful season and, grap a slice of the cham­ pion-ship of the newly formed B-I conference.

Don Bitter, hard hitting fullback, scored the first touchdown for the Black and Red after a long and hard 63-yard drive. The University was keyed up to breaking point and had very definitely decided to pull an upset. Playing a dismal first quarter the Gos­ lings were leading by a mere 7-0 at half time.

Taking the starch out of Extension immediately at the begin­ ning of the third quarter, “slingin Dan” hit Nommensen in the end zone to register the first tally in the third period to make the score 13-0. The try for extra point was wide by inches.

Extension was unable to advance, so the Goslings marched right back, but remained stalled on the ten-yard stripe. It was from there that “琴olden toed Eick” kicked a perfect field goal to send the Goslings into a 16-0 lead. Before the quarter ended Sommerfield had carried the ball over from the thirty after “Speed” Malchow had picked up fifty yards around his own right end by some fancy stepping. Eickmann again converted.

In the fourth quarter Northwestern again counted as Willie Krueger tossed thirty yards to Nommy who ran over for the final score. Paul Eickmann booted the extra point to make the score *30-0.

201

RED Extension managed to get a consolation score late in the fourth quarter on two passes in the flat, the latter being complete in the end zone for the score. The attempted conversion was very wide.

The Northwestern squad was a little sluggish the first half, but in the second half the Goslings overcame weight with speed and hard hitting to completely dominate the play.

The final game was very definitely highlighted by the good running of Malchow and Sommerfield; the pass snagging of Nommensen, the best end in the conference; and the bull’s eye tossing of Malchow, Krueger, and “Butch” Bitter.

Seven seniors played their last game in a Black and Red uni­ form. Those seniors are : Birkholz, Gieschen, Holt, Kaiser, Captain Malchow, Nommensen, and Scharlemann.

RED Northwestern has the honor of having the highest scoring tackles in the conference: Paul Eickmann—19 points (16 extra points plus a field goal) Richard Buss—12 points (two touchdowns) Phil Strohm—2 points (points after touchdowns) Individual scoring during the season: Nommensen—30 pts, D. Bitter~30 pts.

Manthey—24 pts.

Hackbarth—24 pts.

Eickmann—19 pts.

Sommeriield一18 pts.

Malchow—12 pts.

Buss一12 pts.

Fricke—6 pts.

Krueger~6 pts.

Strohm—2 pts.

Free—1 pt.

During the season Northwestern ran up a total of 186 points to the opposition’s 63 points. The Goslings were an offensive minded unit scoring an average of 2 points a game. However, the statistics show that the Goslings were very reluctant in permitting the opponents to score; the opposition averaged nine points a game.

The Black and Red ran up an amazing total of 3147 yards gained from the line of scrimmage.

An all-conference team was again picked this year; for the second consecutive year Danny Malchow, Mr. Quarterback and master of the “T”, was the unanimous choice for the first team.

Paul Eickmann, high scoring and hard hitting Northwestern tackle was also chosen for the first team. Narrowly missing first team berths were big Carl Nommensen and little Paul Manthey.

Letter awards were given to the following for the ’48 football season: Birkholz, Gieschen, Nommensen, Otterstatter, Voss (ends); Eickmann, Strohm, Buss, M. Westerhaus, (tackles); Holt, Scharlemann ,Schroeder, Hein (guards); Kaiser, P. Kuske (centers); Malchow (Captain), and A. Bitter (quarterbacks); Fricke, Man­ they, Hackbarth, Krueger, Free (halfbacks); D. Bitter and Sommerfield (fullbacks); H. Schaible (mgr.).

Basketball has started but it is still too early to pick the first ten men who will represent Northwestern College this year. Both high scoring Wietzkes were lost by graduation but five lettermen remain to make up the nucleus of this year’s squad. Malchow, Nommensen, Zarling, Fricke, and D. Bitter are lettermen from last year’s championship team.

THE VOW

by MARIANNE UETZMANN

I haven’t gone back to Neillsville for years now, but just yesterday while I was reading the newspaper, I came upon an article that took me back to my youth and to Neillsville. The Masons had lived in the little white house next to the Kingsley mansion. The families had been neighbors for over two gene­ rations. The Kingsleys had occupied the most prominent place in the social life of Neillsville for the same length of time, while we Masons had never even dreamed of entering the higher levels of society.

George Kingsley and my father were about the same age and had been good friends as boys. A warm feeling had pre­ vailed even after George had married a beautiful girl from distant Philadelphia and had brought her home to the Kingsley mansion. Around the time I was born a little girl was born to the Kingsleys too. George called her Annmarie and was veryproud of .her. She was a beautiful little girl with long, silky hair, the color of rich, ripe chestnuts, deep, blue eyes, and a fair complexion. She had inherited a keen sense of justice 205

si；

9 RED together with all the Kingsley pride. All the children paid her court, and her reign was, if just, still absolute.

I, Jane, had neither wealth, position, nor beauty, so I, of course, was her adoring slave. She seemed to enjoy having me around more than anyone else, probably because I would never have dreamed of questioning her right to rule.

How well I remember that one winter afternoon when we were thirteen. Annmarie and I had been playing in the kitchen, but had grown rather tired of it.

“Jane, look and see if it’s still snowing out.”

“But I just looked a moment ago, and it was snowing just awfully much then.”

“Well, look again; it may have stopped and then we can go out.’

“No, miss, it sure hasn’t stopped, but here comes that Jimmy Winter from across the street. My, how that boy’s growing up. His legs are growing clear away from him.”

This came from Miranda, the Kingsley’s cook, a woman who loved children and who contributed much to our enjoyment of the kitchen.

Jimmy was always fun and more than anyone else could make Annmarie act like just one of the crowd. Maybe it was because he refused to be dominated by her, however she might try. Indeed, if she had considered it carefully, she would have seen that he stood a fair chance of becoming a very serious rival. He, however, had never tried to challenge her authority, except for the time she had refused to accept a new child into her group because he was too poor. Jimmy had refused to accept her decision and, by making the poor boy his friend, forced her to accept him.

So it was with great expectancy that we greeted him as he burst through the door with a cheery greeting.

“Come on, you two, the snow on Olson’s hill is just right for sliding. Put on your things and get your sleds; we’re go­ ing over to it right now.，’ “Well, now, Annmarie, I don’t just know whether you should go; you know your ma said you weren’t to go out while it’s snowing.”

206

RED “Oh, Miranda, you know she only said that because I wasn’t feeling well, and I feel perfect now. Come on, Jane, let’s go.”

So brushing aside all protests, Annmarie went out the door, followed by Jimmy and me.

The hill was beautiful that day. Even though it was still snowing, the sun was shining and the snow was filled with sparkling diamonds. The cries of children rang out gayly.

“Oh Jimmy, let’s go down the north side, just once for fun.”

“I don’t think we’d better, Annmarie; no one’s gone down it yet this year and there may be some rough spots/1 ‘‘Oh, don’t be a fraidy-cat! I thought you were so brave.

If you don’t take me someone else will.”

“All right, I’ll go, but hang on tight.”

I begged and begged, but everything I said only strength­ ened her resolve to go down that hill. I looked down the steep slope of the north side and shuddered. If the sled should hit anything and go out of control, it might hit one of the boulders which were alongside the trail. Oh, if they would only hurry and get down the hill. I couldn’t look. Suddenly a sharp cry pierced the air.

“It’s Annmarie! She’s fallen off and hit a boulder.”

We all ran down to the spot where she lay. One of the children ran home and got her father. Jim came up, white and shaken. He looked so terribly unnerved that I had to go to him and try to comfort him. He only looked at the small, still form:and cried, “I can’t do aUhing, Jane; I can’t do a thing to help her. Some day, if it takes the rest of ；my life, I’ll be a doctor, and I won’t rest until I can do something for people who are hurt. So you hear me, Jane? Someday I’ll be a doctor.”

Annmarie never regained consciousness, and it was a verysubdued crowd of children who, a few days later, paid their last homage to their little queen.

I haven’t seen or heard from Jim Winter for years, but it didn’t surprise me to see this article: “A delicate spinal opera­ tion, performed by the young surgeon, Dr. James Winter, was today pronounced successful.”

RED OUR TOWN

by P«

•'Sure, ifs a quiet town, mister. But better that way than too loud, I always say. Our kind’s been living here for better’n a hunderd years, and we like it. S’pose a city man does miss the commotion, though. All in what you’re used to.

You couldn，t move us out o’ here with dynamite. Oh, I been to Milwaukee once or twice — grandson took me — but you c’n -have your big city. Folks running around downtown as if they was scared 0, something, getting conniption fits if they miss a bus. ’Tain，t natcherl, I tell the boy. We went down there, see, ’cause they wanted to show me the town, Teddy an’ his wife an’ me. Figgered we’d do it up right and stay maybe two, three nights in a fancy hotel. We got there ’bout nine in the morning an’ stayed downtown ’bout an hour, but then I says to Teddy, “Boy, i’m going home,” an I ain’t budged from here since. Them people just don’t know how to live.

“Some o’ the young fellers don’t like it here, say it，s a dead town. Once in a while they even pack up an’ leave. Funny thing, though. Most of ’em come back again, at least when they get older an’ have a little more sense. We ain’t hustlers here, that’s true. But land sakes, the way some folks act, you’d think the place would go to rack and ruin if there ain’t something doing every minute. But this little place been pushing along for better’n a hunderd years, like I told you, an’ we get along just taking life a little slower. Y’get more flavor if y’dont gulp your food. What they call progress comes pretty s!ow，too, o1 course. I c’d show you places with kerosene lamps, right in town, an’ there’s anyway one place not more’n a few blocks from Main Street still’s got outside plumbing. That’s a f’ct. Guess they just did’nt get around to changing it. Lots o’ things like that. Maybe we come by it natcherly: it’s mostly Germans and Irish around here. The Dutchmen get in a com­ fortable rut an’ hate V change and the Irish just don’t give a poot. But life’s treating us pretty good and after all, we ain’t in any hurry. , Oh sure, there’s a few hustlers in town. Most of ’em don t seem to fit in very well, though. Young Hank Pitts — I 208

RED went V school with old Hank; nicest feller you’ll ever meet — young Hank, he started some kind o’ factory out on the west side. By the time he had her going good he was forty years old an’ looked like fifty- five. Died the next year. Doc said he had a bad heart; fiddlesticks, that man just druv himself V death. Mostly the factories in town are pretty small. It’s a lot easier t’ find a place to loaf than a place t’ work. Town’s got more taverns’n you can shake a stick at. Mostly decent places, too. Down t’ the park in summer there’ll be twelve, fourteen old fellas playing schafskopf ev’ry day. Come about nine o’clock an’ stay till four, with an hour for dinner. Only work they do is move the tables so’s to keep in the shade.

“Schools? Well, there’s the usual grades an’ high school.

Then there’s a Catholic college, up on Main Street hill. We don’t 炻et to see too much o’ those boys. Besides there’s the college — the German college, we used t’ call it 一 on the other end o’ town. Luthern, that one is. Them two schools used V have the hottest baseball games you ever saw. There was always at least one fistfight. Kids from the college y’ see a bit more around town, enough so’s t’ miss ’em in the summer.

There’s a few wild ones, but most of ’em don’t kick up too much fuss.

“See you’re getting ready t’ go, mister. Headed out Main are you? Maybe you cJd gimme a lift up to the hospital corner.

I’d sure appreciate it. The bus don’t come f’r another twenty minutes.”

THE KILLER ‘‘Henry, dear.”

“Yes, mom.”

“Let’s go to see that man over the drug store.’’

“Oh no! Not again. I just got done seeing him this summer. Do you want to spoil my Christmas vacation?”

“No dear, but maybe your teeth are decaying. You wouldn’t want all your teeth to fall out.”

“But I want to look like grandpa.”

“Henry!”

“Yes, mom.”

See, folks, how futile it is to argue about going to the den209

RED tist! “No, no, it won，t hurt,” they always say, but I found out different. Mom called up the killer (dentist to you) and set the hour, and on all the days to pick an appointment they picked Saturday afternoon. Why couldn’t they pick a school day; then I could have gotten out of a few classes; mind you, not that I don’t want to go to school, but it’s just the idea.

The fateful day arrived.

As mother and I strolled out into the slowly falling snow of a beautiful December day, I could hear the voices of my friends who were snowball-fighting and as a whole having a grand time. Me? I had to go to the killer. Oh well, I had one consolation; they all might have to look like grandpa some­ day. But the worst was yet to come.

Down town everybody was hustling around like a bunch pf scared up pheasants, but this was the usual Chrsitmas spirit.

Everybody was so happy, and I had to go to that—person.

Up, up the steps we went. That was about like the last mile.

“Now, Henry, it won’t hurt; take it like a man.”

With this I boldly threw out my chest, held my head high in the air and tried to get-back down the stairs, but mother was too fast for me and in a moment I was inside the office of the right honorable Dr. A. K. Paine. I guess the “A. K.” stood for “Always Killing,’上 but I don’t know for sure. The sweet smell of stuff hung over the room just like the time I had a cornsilk cigar in the basement, only I felt worse here than in the basement.

After the preliminaries of getting acquainted with the jerk, he escorted me into a private room with a big chair that seems more and more like an electric chair everytime I think of it. The room was all white, but for all of me it could have been black to suit my feelings. ‘ ‘Sit right up here, Sonny. This won’t hurt. ” So sweet, but what a liar. Guys like that should be shot; boy, if I ever get to be president I’ll have all dentists exiled to Siberia for life. "Doctor’s going to take some pictures of your teeth so that he can find out if they’re all in good shape.” The killer said that in such a way that I could have socked him on the spot. Fine thing, too; they can’t make enough money killing people; they have to run a picture taking joint too. The nerve. Well, after the pictures were taken he went to his dark room and let me suffer. All I had to do was twiddle my thumbs 210

RED and look at the murder weapons hanging from the ceiling.

After what seemed like an hour he returned with a smile on his sweet face.

“I guess that his left lower bicuspid will have to go. It has a nasty cavity inside it,” he told mother. .

I’ll bet you he just put a pencil mark on his picture to make it look bad. But now came the works.

“Nurse, sterilize these,” he said as he handed her some pretty wicked looking instruments.

Boy, just wait till he gets his hand in my mouth; he’ll wish he hadn’t tried.

"Open wide.”

Before I had a chance to close down on his mirror and two unsuspecting fingers, he had my mouth filled. First two steel clamps followed by those cotton outfits that look like chalk, then a hose. He then reached to his sterilized weapons and grabbed a corkscrew outfit and started picking around. I think he was looking for gold, but he didn’t find any. It was only part of the orange that I had for lunch. But he was an obstinate cuss.

He brought out his trusty air-compressor hammer and then’s when I hit the ceiling. Man, school was never like this. It’s funny how little people realize how good theyWe got it until they ain’t got it. It seems he couldn’t drill it out, so he got a hypodermic needle about the size of our car pump and jabbed it into yours truly and pumped about four gallons of the junk into me.

Now, that didn’t hurt, did it?”

I had nothing to say and if I did, I could^t have said it anyway.

“How do you like school, Sonny?”

“Nuffzz Illcettlize.” ‘‘That，s fine; and how do you like Santa Claus?”

Just as I was about to put in my complaints about that character for not bringing me the car that I asked for, I felt a mighty tug. It felt as if he was going to pull me inside out. As I opened my eyes I saw him glaring down at me with those in­ sane eyes. He held in his hand a pair of 10 inch pliers with my only lower left bicuspid in them.

Blood, blood everywhere 一 whew! At last it was all over.

With joyous steps I leaped from the chair and ran out the door.

I heard the dentist exclaim before I ran out of sight, “Come back in another week and I’ll take out the other one!”

Jhttortal Town Meeting ... the article “Why Lutheran?” in an earlier issue of the Black and Red it was stated that we are Lutherans ' be­ cause our Lutheran church continues to preach and teach the unadulterated Word of God, the message of sin and grace, the sweet Gospel truth of salvation by grace through Christ Jesus.”

Our Lutheran church relies upon scriptures alone, adding noth­ ing to it and taking nothing from it, making no compromises.

It was also pointed out that not all Lutheran bodies any longer insist upon the sole authority of Scripture in every problem, but are willing to give in a little here and a little there for the sake of “peace and harmony,” presenting a large front, or some tSM?

212

RED other such reason which surely will not stand before God, and they therefore are no longer worthy of the name Lutheran.

Does not recalling this bring to mind a nation-wide radio broadcast one evening last month? In “Town Meeting of the Air” one of our Synodical Conference Lutherans, Dr. Walter A. Maier, took part in a discussion on the topic “Is a United Protestant Church Possible Now?” Three others shared the platform with Dr. Maier; they were Dr. E. Stanley Jones of the Methodist Church, Dr. Truman B. Douglass of the Congrega­ tional Church, and Luther W. Youngdahl, Governor of the State of Minnesota.

Anyone who heard the broadcast should be alarmed. It was evident that three of the four men cared little or nothing for the Word of God in regard to the union question. The plans they offered for uniting the Protestants sound fairly simple, but they are based on externals only; they have not hit the heart of the problem, namely, unity of Christian doctrine; therefore no matter how sweet and simple their plans may sound, they can never produce a lasting and effectual union even in the eyes of men, let alone one which is God-pleasing.

Briefly, their plans for uniting are as follows: Dr. Jones would like to see organized a Federal Union of the various churches called the Church of Christ in America.

The various denominations existing now would just be branches of this Federal Union. Each would continue to preach and to teach as it does now. One of the “advantages” of this plan is that “each branch would be free to hold its distinctiveness within the Union.” Any church that confesses that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God, would be admitted as a branch of the Union. Nothing is said of Jesus’ being the one and only Savior from sin, the Way to eternal life. Many churches could subscribe to the former statement without be­ lieving the latter. Now ask yourself: Is that a real union? Is such a union going to benefit all or any of its members? Is this union going to help God’s Word to be preached in all its truth and purity、when each branch will be free to hold its distinctive­ ness, which means that the various conflicting doctrines will con­ tinue to be preached, but now in one and the same church body?

Dr. Douglass was right about one thing. He replied to Dr. 213

RED Jones that unity is qualitative as well as quantitative. But his plan for achieving unity is no better. His objection to Dr. Jones’ plan is that there would still be as many different de­ nominations under the Federal-Union as there are now, whether they are called branches of a union or not. He will forget all denominational names and form one united church. Simple, isn't it? He says at least half the Protestants in America are now ready to do this. ‘ ‘Thousands of them transfer their mem­ berships from one denomination to another for purposes of con­ venience. They do this not because Christianity is a matter of convenience, but because denominationalism is not worth any inconvenience.” But isn’t it? The welfare of immortal souls is at stake. When one denomination teaches that Jesus is our souls’ Way to eternal life; another teaches that Jesus was a mere man preaching a social gospel, and by trying to live up to his ideals we can earn our way to heaven; and another doesn’t even believe in the immortality of the soul, is it not worth some inconvenience, (if it must be called that), to be sure that we are in the right denomination? Let them try such a union. What a task they will have! They will soon find out that very few would be willing to unite in such a manner.

Gov. Youngdahl is a Lutheran not of the Synodical Con­ ference. His stand plainly indicated that he is not worthy of the name Lutheran. Let him stick to the affairs of state; he has fallen short in this problem of the church. He had nothing new to offer, but favored the plan of Dr. Jones, saying since complete unity is necessary to win a military victory, we must unite to carry on our spiritual campaign. But are souls won by putting up a big front of large numbers? Perhaps a very few members can be gained for the outward organization, but never will their souls be won for Christ this way.

The last to speak was Dr. Maier. And when he began, the audience heard something altogether new. They heard some­ thing about doctrinal unity. They heard that it is not enough to confess that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the Living God, but we must confess also that Jesus is the Savior of sinners, the Redeemer of the whole human race. Based only on such a con­ fession can a unity even begin to be made. No man-made or­ ganization can bring about a union, but the Holy Spirit must do 214

RED it. And the union must and will then be on God’s Word.

Now in their counter-replies, the other three men continued as if they had not heard what Dr. Maier said, for what could they answer to such a sure disproof? but continued harping on their pet plans of “the-answer-to-all-prob.lems” unions.

The answer then to the question: Is a United Protestant Church Possible Now? is most emphatically NO, since most Protestants are not willing to unite or even to attempt to unite on doctrine, but only on externals. But, as desirable as a union may be, as long as we have men who will boldly insist upon confessing Jesus, the Son of God, as the Savior of sinners, thank God, there will be no union with those who teach anyand everything but this.

With our suitcases loaded with new Christmas gifts.

We came back to Northwestern in ten or twelve shifts.

We’ve had sleep, we’ve had fun, we’ve had food, we’ve had drink.

Are we ready to study? Well, what do you think???

Christmas vacation proved a fruitful season for all of us but more fruitful for a fortunate few than for most. A few of the boys worked for Uncle Sam breaking their backs and their arches totin’ the U. S. Mail. But at $1.25 per hour who cares about a mangled muscle or a flat foot.

The business of giving Christmas gifts proved quite expensive, especially for the boys who are “attached.” A pint of “Boudoir Bouquet” at a buck a drop or one of those goldplated compacts with a price tag that runs into two figures and keeps right on running really knock a hole in a ten dollar bill, eh Dan? Norm Pommeranz spent a real “white” Christmas. He was bandaged up from head to bunion as a result of a bus crackup on his way home. One eye was temporarily put out of commission, and a wrist and one leg had to be patched up.

He’s well on the road back to normal, but he still resembles the guy that backed into an airplane propeller.

Ah, sweet misery of love—another fellow has had cupid’s red hot arrow rammed through his great big loving heart.

Who, you ask? None other than the “Canadian Ace,” our rugged recruit from away up North. The apple of his eye?

217 Si-'：'

RED Why, the fair maiden that smuggles him real red, juicy apples after supper. You know the old phrase: The way to a man’s heart ______________ As long as we’re on the subject of amor, I might as well try to console a fellow classmate who has recently been com­ pletely shafted but good. So here’s a poem to poor old Fooz which I have entitled: Ode On a Heart Burn Here’s to you, Foozy, and to your old flame, She’s pledged to another now and will never bear your name.

So to you, our buddy dear, we say it was a shame That you, too, had to be jilted by another fickle dame.

It looks like we have a real “flamin’ Mancie” among our of coeds. A few days before Christmas vacation small group _ began, a fire broke out in the girls’ room. The time: about 9:30 A. M. The damage: some cremated coats and one awful smell. The cause: looked like a case of spontaneous combustion.

An hour and a half later, after the local fire department with the assistance of our own Chief Pope had quenched the blaze, “Big Bertha” brayed again. This time the stick slipped out of place. Strangely enough one of the first things the boys grabbed before they got out of the “burning” building was their books. I’m a little in doubt whether this was because of their love of the knowledge contained between the covers or because of those big price tags on the first page.

Joke swiped from a radio show: Brown: Say Howie, your girl friend looks just like a movie star.

Howie: Like what movie star?

Brown: Wallace Beery.

No doubt some of you have heard the seniors griping about the monumental task of writing a bibliography for their history course. Well, after Norm Menke had spent the best twenty days of his life sweating over smelly old books and writing his fingers down to the knuckles, he finally just about had the job beat. So he took his creation home with him for Xmas to polish it up, so what happened? He left it in the bus depot in Milwaukee. After a few thousand choice curses and a half dozen handfulls of hair, the bus company found and returned his brain child and saved him the discomfort of drinking a hemlock. ______________ Veni, dixi, vivi—I came, I spoke, and now I gotta go.

Seminary~44 The Sem team came down with the intention of knocking off the collegians. Fortified and definitely strengthened by the Wietzke brothers plus Huebner, Hoenecke, and Schlei, the Sem was “loaded” plus and it looked like a sure defeat for the Alma Mater. This year’s varsity squad may not be the tall, dead-eyed shots of the last few years, but they do have something else and that is plenty of speed plus lots of fight. .That “never say quit’’ attitude is predominant.

Three lettermen from last year’s squad remain on this year’s team: Malchow, Nommensen, and Zarling. The seven new comers: Rohde, Lindloff, Birkholz, Petermann, A. Bitter, Zimmermann, and Hackbarth, comprise the remainder of the squad.

With Nommensen and Malchow combining for 35 points the Goslings tripped up the Seminary boys, who were led by the Wietzke brothers * 27 points.

Although hitting on 37% of their shots the Goslings were edged out of the victory column by the Whitewater teachers.

Displaying their usual pushin’ and shovin’ game the teachers were called for only 31 fouls.

In spite of their tricks and maneuvers “shorty” Carl Nom­ mensen dumped in 27 points to lead Northwestern's bucket brigade. Malchow and Rohde were tied with eight points apiece. Rallies, Whitewater center, led the victors with 20 points, followed by Schlatter with twelve points.

High lights of the game were Nommensen’s rebounding and the fast breaking of Malchow and Rohde.

Bouncing back from their first defeat the Goslings trounced the Saints of Lisle, Illinois, 71—50. Never behind nor threat­ ened, the Black and Red cagers rolled up an 18—3 margin in the first ten minutes.

The scoring for the Goslings was rather evenly divided; Nommensen led the scoring with 19 points, followed closely by Rohde’s 14 points and Zarling’s 12 points, Malchow had nine points to complete the four high point men.

Kopanda and Settlemeyer led the Saints with ten and nine points respectively.

The Goslings led 34—16 at half time, but the Saints came back “hot” in the second half and dumped in ten straight points to come within nine points of the Goslings.

RED FIRST CONFERENCE VICTORY Northwestern— 65

Extension—58

With three pre-conference games under their belts the Gos­ lings were ready to tackle their first conference foe. Traveling to Milwaukee the Goslings encountered a stubborn and tall quintet.

Again Nommensen, Rohde, and Zarling led the Black and Red cagers to victory. Nommy dumped in 20 points, Rohde 17, and Zarling tossed in 14 points. Making over 38 % of their shots and connecting on 19 of the 28 free throw attempts spelled the difference. Both teams had 23 field goals, but the Goslings made up the difference in free throws.

Howe and Waters led the Extension quintet with 21 and 14 points respectively.

FIRST CONFERENCE DEFEAT Lewis College—66 Northwestern—59 Even with Nommensen hitting for an all time high of 27 points the Goslings were unable to halt the Lewis College “flyers.”

The game was extremely close and an interesting game for a packed house.

The Black and Red seemed to have difficulty breaking through the flyers shifting man-defense. Meanwhile the flyer guards were poppin，in 42 points between them. The Goslings were . trailing 31—34 at half time, but early in the second half tied the game at 36—36. For a while it appeared as if the Black and Red quintet would break loose as Nommy and Danny quickly dumped in eight points, but the Goslings cooled off too soon as the Lewis men went out to win.

Nommensen led the losers with 27 points, Malchow followed with nine points, Zarling had seven. The two guards led the victors with 21 points for White and 15 points for Smith.

Spencerian—(50

Northwestern一73

Spencerian Business College of Milwaukee, had defeated the high scoring Lewis college team, so the Goslings knew they had to play ball in order to win.

The Milwaukee cagers wasted no time as they stepped to a quick 10 —4 edge. From that stage of the game it was all Northwestern as Nommensen poured in 25 points and Rohde dumped in 20 points. The two boys from Juneau were really on the ball. High scorers for Spencerian were Rauschenberger 19 points, Hilgendorf and Fountain each had 15 points.

INTRA-MURAL BASKETBALL

—I

Having completed the first round of basketball we find that the Juniors are leading the league with a 4—1 record. The Seniors are breathing down their neck for a close 3—2 record.

It does look as if the Juniors are the team to beat; they seem to be pretty well loaded with “lefty” Jim’s long shots, PhiPs rending, Pommeranz seems to be good for about 15 points, and “Coo】n” Sellnow’s hook shot is hitting something besides the balcony.

SENIOR BOWLING Not much bowling has been done in league games. A league was started but it wasn’t long before there was the same old story heard every year, that the teams were not divided evenly, so temporarily everything has been halted, but it is expected that league bowling will soon begin again; the seniors have been having a number of class meetings to iron out the difficulty (and possibly break somebody’s arm to bring down his average).

A few games were rolled in the “old” league and we find the following results from those games: High league games—Zarling 194 and 190 High non-league games_Gieschen 233 Kaiser 217 High team game (Total)—Kaiser, Scharlemann, 1289 StefFenhagen— Zarling, Menke, Pope— 1218 517 Zarling一 High series total — 512 Kaiser一 Scharlemann一461 456 Wilde223

THE BLACK AND RED Volume LII.

Watertown, Wis., February 1949.

Number 9

second March 3. 1870. Published monthly. Subscription, One Dollar.

THE LAST ''JOB“Buster” MacBrown had promised his wife, Myrtle, to quit his “profession” and become a clerk in a clothing store. The reason Myrtle wanted Buster to quit his job was that it was rather dangerous. You see, Buster was a burglar; and a rather successful one at that. In the seventeen years that he had had this “profession” he had only been in jail three times; and each of these was because of minor charges, such as breaking a window or some other inexpensive property.

Buster had just completed a six-month prison term and was calling his wife in Milwaukee from Waupun. His wife was very glad to hear from him and told him that she had a surprise for him when he came home. Buster was to take a bus to Milwaukee and meet Myrtle at the station the next morning. It was on this bus that Buster met “Louie, the louse,” one of his old pals and fellow business men. After discussing old times Louie said, “Say, why don’t we get together again and pull another job. We used to be quite a team in the old days. I’ve 224

RED got a swell layout lined up on Thirty-third Street. I’ve been casin’ the joint for two weeks and I found out there ain’t no one living in the house till tomorrow afternoon.”

Gee, Louie, that would be like old times, but I promised Moitle I wouldn’t pull another job and she wouldn’t like for me to break the promise the first day I was home. Let’s wait a little while,” was Buster’s reply.

Louie grew slightly irritated and told him that the place would be occupied by tomorrow night and that if they wanted to rob the house they would have to do it that night.

After a little deliberation, which consisted of flipping a coin, Buster decided to go on just this one more job. They agreed to meet that night at twelve o’clock and carry out the plans that Louie had so carefully prepared.

By this time they had arrived at the station and Buster went out to meet Myrtle. She was very glad to see him and told him she would show him his surprise the following day.

That night as Myrtle slept peacefully in the cheap hotel room Buster slipped out and kept his date with Louie.

The house turned out to be large and well furnished with silverware and other such valuable articles. They collected as much of the goods as they could safely carry and got away without any trouble. They had pulled another ‘‘perfect’’ job, as Louie had expressed it. Louie was to sell the valuables and give Buster his share later.

Early the next morning Myrtle woke Buster to show him his surprise. After walking for a while Myrtle told Buster to look at the beautiful house on the right that she had bought with some money left to her by an uncle who had died several weeks before.

However, upon entering the house they found that the place was messed up and some articles missing. It was not until then that Buster realized that he had robbed their own house and was going to divide the money for the loot with another man. (i

RED ADVENTURE IN THE FLORIDA KEYS

\

It was a beautiful day in June. The sun was shining brightly, the air was clear, and a gentle breeze blew out of the southwest and ruffled the surface of the Gulf of Mexico. Ar­ thur Nickels lazily contemplated his surroundings from the porch of his father’s cottage and was thinking how nice it would be just to stay where he was for the rest of the day. His thoughts were rudely interrupted by the arrival of his friend, George Abbot, who lived in the neighboring cottage. These cottages were located on an island known as Johnston’s Key. It was one of a long string of islands known as the Florida Keys.

Johnston’s Key was located about eighteen miles northeast of Key West and about two miles north of the Saddle Bunch Keys.

The two boys generally spent the summer on Johnston’s Key. Their fathers were business partners in Miami and during the summer brought their families down to the Keys. The boys were both eighteen and were the best of friends.

As George came walking up he picked up a pillow from a hammock and threw it at his friend. ‘‘Come on, Lazybones, up and at ’em.” he said. His answer was a pillow which hit him in the face.

44Why don’t you go drown yourself.” Art said as he got up and went into the house. He soon returned carrying a list of the things he was supposed to get in Key West. The two boys once a week went to Key West to get the necessary supplies for the two families. As they walked down to the boathouse George said, “It certainly is a nice day for our trip to Key West.”

“It’s okay now but we’re supposed to have stormy weather by tonight according to the weather report on the radio,” Art said. They entered the boathouse and lowered their little run­ about into the water. They had named her “Sea Wolf.” She had a speed of about twenty-five miles an hour. They climbed in and Art stepped on the starter button. The motor coughed and came to life. Art slowly backed the boat out of the boat­ house, turned the nose to Key West and they were off. The boat cut through the clear blue water leaving a wide wake be­ hind. As they were passing Snij)e Key, which is about five 226 .

RED miles southwest of Johnston’s Key, George said, “Looks like somebody is finally going to use that cabin on Snipe Key. There’s smoke coming out from between the trees.” As he said this a fast, powerful motorboat pulled out from behind the island and headed in the direction of the Saddle Bunch Keys.

Two men were seated in the boat but they paid little attention to the other boat. The boys continued on their way and reached Key West a little before noon. After eating dinner and buying the supplies, the two boys headed back to the landing with their packages. They deposited them in the boat and were ready to go when a government boat came into the harbor and tied up at the landing. Two government agents stepped out and walked over to where the boys were standing. The older of the two men spoke up and asked, ‘‘Have you boys seen a strange boat around lately?”

Art said, “We saw one this morning around Snipe Key.” “If you see anything strange report it to the police at Key West and they will get in touch with us,” said the man. Then he and his companion walked off. Art and George climbed into their boat and headed for home. ‘ ‘I wonder who those men are after and what connection our mystery boat of this morning has to do with it,” Art said. “Probably some fugitives the police are after,” commented George. As they went past Snipe Key nothing was to be seen, so they continued on their way home.

By the time they got home the sky was cloudy and a strong wind was kicking up the water into waves. It took some skill­ ful maneuvering on George’s part to get the boat into the boat­ house. Both families were down at the boathouse waiting for the boys. They had become worried when it started to get rough.

The next day the storm was still blowing, so the boys had to stay in. However, by evening the storm blew itself out and the next day dawned bright and clear. The boys were up early.

After eating breakfast they decided to go over to Snipe Key and see who was staying on the island. As they approached from the east side of the island they noticed the smoke was again rising from between the trees, so there must be somebody home. Slowly they moved around to the north side of the island and entered a little cove on that side. No sooner had they entered than they saw the bqat of two days ago. It was tied up 227

RED at a little pier. The next thing they knew a man came out and yelled, (iGet out of here; we don’t want any kids snooping around here. Beat it.”

The boys had no choice but to turn around and head out of the little cove. They decided to hang around the little island to see if the boat would come out. It wasn’t too long before it came moving out of the cove and started out in the direction of the Saddle Bunch Keys. “Let’s follow them,” Art said.

“Okay by me,” George said and so they were off. They kept the other boat in sight for quite a while and then all of a sudden it disappeared as it got near Saddle Bunch Keys. * Where did it go?” Art asked. “It can’t just disappear.”

“Your guess is as good as mine,” George said, “but maybe it went into one of those small bays over there. If we wait around maybe we’ll spot them again.” The boys waited for quite a while and were ready to go when all of a sudden they heard the noise of a motorboat and the mystery boat popped into view from a small bay which could hardly be seen from the outside. The boys were ready to go into the little bay when another boat appeared at the entrance and headed for Key West. “Let’s make tracks for Key West and tell the police about this,” George said.

When they arrived in Key West the second boat which came out of the bay was nowhere to be seen. However, the government boat was tied up at the landing and several men were standing around it. The two boys walked up and told the man, who had asked them the;.questions the other day, every­ thing they had seen. Immediately the man ordered the other men into the boat, thanked the boys and told them to go home.

When they got home it was dark and the two families wanted to know where they had been, so the boys told them the whole story. The next day the boys were surprised to see the govern­ ment boat stop and tie up at their pier. The older man got out and walked up to Art's house. “I want to give you two boys this $5000 reward,’’ he said. George and Art stood there with their mouths open. “What for?” Art asked.

“The information you gave us yesterday made it possible for us to round up most of a gang of counterfeiters that have been operating in these parts，” he said. “They had set up 228

!•

I A

RED their printing apparatus on Snipe Key and from there they took the counterfeit money to the Saddle Bunch Keys where they gave it to other members of the gang who then got rid of it in Key West and other places. We’ve been after this bunch for quite some time, but we couldn’t find out from where they operate. Your information ^ave us a big lead and we were able to catch them red-handed.” With this he once more thanked the boys, stepped into the boat and roared off. The boys stared at each other unbelievingly. Art’s father said, “If I had known what you boys were up to I would have put a stop to it, but then you wouldn’t have gotten the $5000 reward.”

OUR FOREST PRIMEVAL

By R. E. P,

Here on the campus Northwestern, midst numerous trees all around it, Flourished a tree that was planted, how well and prudently tended, Stately, it stood by the walk, with branches that reached toward the heavens, Gaily, it swayed with the breeze, and danced at the time of the morning, Soft, were its leaves like a lily; it rustled an air in the evening; Bleak, though it stood in the winter, it was waiting the advent of Notus.

This is the campus Northwestern, but where is that tree that was on it?

Gone like a hare in the meadow, that heard the deep bays of the hound?

Scarfed was its tender trunk, and scathed were its leaves and its branches.

Mighty the grip of the saw, that seized and hurled it down.

Dark was the sky of the morning, but darker the clouds of the twilight; Loud were the cries of the forest, but quiet the wail of the tulip.

Gone is the innocent tulip, and yet the remembrance is with us, Long, are its neighbors still wailing; and who is there now to restore it?

Even the surgeons are helpless, for trees are made only by God. 229

Jbitnrtal Tolerance

•

EBRUARY 20一27 was designated as Brotherhood Week.

Brotherhood is defined by its promoters as “giving to others the rights and respect that we want for ourselves.”

During this week everyone was, therefore, urged to respect and regard with tolerance all races and creeds, with the hope that such an attitude would continue for all time. This cry for equality and justice for all, no matter who or what their person, is not a new cry, and what the promoters of Brotherhood week wish to achieve is not difficult to determine.

Man is seeking peace and harmony throughout the world.

This is evident in the formation of the United Nations, in their 231

RED hopeless efforts to establish a world peace. Their united world without hatred and enmity is a far cry from reality. Another phase in this brotherhood of all men was the attempt of various protestant sects to unite into one universal church, not on the basis of doctrine but onimere outward forms and ceremonies.

Wherever one looks there is an organization bent on improving the world and making it a better place to live in. Success will ever be absent, for they do not realize that the perversity of mankind is the result of sin.

“Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself” is often quoted during Brotherhood Week. No doubt this is understood in its correct and widest sense. This, Christ said, is the second great commandment. The first great commandment He had stated just prior to this: “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul and with all thy mind.” Love should prompt all our words and deeds, a love which is so great and so complete first toward God and then toward one another that sinful and corrupt man can never hope to attain it. It is a love of which only God is capable. All who believe in Christ find comfort in the fact that He fulfilled the law through His sufferings and death; Christ bears this love for all in our behalf.

But what does the unbeliever know of this great command­ ment of love? How can he ever be convinced that he should maintain an attitude of tolerance toward all men, regardless of race, color, or religion, when a Christian must confess his inability to do so? Man’s sinful human nature shuns the very thought of tolerance. This brotherhood and universal peace for which so many are striving and for which nearly everyone is hoping can be nothing but an idle dream. As long as there is sin, there will be prejudice and intolerance; there will be hatred, enmity, strife, war.

3 m^s Valpo Sings Typical Concert HE Valparaiso University Choir under the leadership of Richard Schoenbohm sang its initial tour concert to a full house in our gym on January 30. The choir sought to fulfil its mission of producing “a warm understanding of the musical heritage of the church” in the hearts of its listeners. The first part of the program was representative of church music in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. However, the choir failed to convey the significant spirit of these compositions, except possibly in the rendition of Bach’s motet, <4Ye are not of the Flesh”，and the “Angelus ad Pastores” by G. Gabrieli. Here the choir displayed its fine precision and lyrical qualities. The men’s chorus possessed excellent voices, but sang three chorales in somewhat of a melancholic and somber tone. The choir was at its best in the remaining part of the program, but lost sight of its original intention with a mixture of the unusual, salted down with the commonplace, to make it palpable as a whole.

The director whipped his singers through the most difficult and profound music, with little regard for perfect pitch or unity of tone production. He preferred to display his group of operatic sopranos above the remnant of the choir. It is remarkable to find a widely-travelled choir retaining such unrounded corners.

But it is worse to see an angellically robed choir burst forth in a rollicking camp song. Nevertheless the fare was popularly approved of and accepted. 一 K.

Oh, they cut down the old tulip tree — yep, they not only cut down the old tulip tree but plenty of others to boot! The noises we heard for a few days made us think we were in the midst of a thriving lumber camp. And for weeks after the noise of cutting timber had ceased, the campus was littered with enough fallen timber to make us think Paul Bunyan had slopped up one too many and gone on a timber toppling spree.

Those old trees may be worth more as fuel than as scenery but rotten as they may have been, we were sorry to see ’em go.

Semester exams come but twice a year.

We shout when they’re over and groan while they’re here.

If they’d happen more often, I’m sure we’d expire, But of course, it might be that I’m just a big liar.

The Valparaiso University chorus paid us a visit right after exams, and it is generally agreed that what they had to offer was definitely worthwhile. That music that Director Schoenbohm pumped out of them made for an enjoyable evening for music lovers. The Juniors handled the staging, ushering, and all the other jobs that every Junior class is blessed with when a concert is held in the college gym. Under the capable leader­ ship of Harold Johne and Les Messerschmidt everything was well taken care of including the much-argued matter of lighting.

Definitions (with apologies to Webster): cuspidor—a metal pot that swims in a sea of saliva, bubbler—the place where students put all old chewing gum. shaving light—a long, thin tube of glass and filament that has a maximum life expectancy of ten days.

234

RED The Junior class has lost another member. Gertrude Eggert decided to leave us and attend the U. of W. That leaves the class of，50 womanless for the first time in its seven year history. The Juniors wish you luck, Gert, in whatever you do.

The male chorus has hopes of going on a number of week­ end tours. When and where the chorus will go hasn’t as yet definitely been decided. But the ball has started to roll, and here’s hoping it keeps on rolling — that tour stuff is one good deal. ____________ He blasted a while ‘Till I said without shame, “Your voice sure is changing, But your breath is still the same.”

Only 300 shopping days till Christmas.

In a recent survey of the dorm, I discovered the following facts: 1. Nine out of ten students brush their teeth with Col­ gate. Carl Voss uses “Old Dutch;’’ it gives his teeth that wash bowl glitter.

2. Five out of every six use soap. Pope uses sand from the clubroora ash trays.

3. Seven out of every ten drink milk, two drink coffee, and the other guy’s a whiskey tenor.

4. One out of a hundred greases ten hours a day, two out of a hundred grease five hours a day—the rest are human.

5. Three out of five students smoke Luckies, one out of five smokes Camels, and Wilde chews the butts.

I looked in her eyes.

She winked back at me.

I caressed her soft neck As she sat on my knee.

I called her my honey, sweety, dolly.

She sure is a beaut, my little brown collie.

ATHLETICS Northwestern—56 Whitewater State Teacher’s College一58 Although leading at half time 24 — 22, the Gosling quintet was unable to keep up the pace. The game was nip and tuck all the way to the final whistle. "Hook shot” Nommensen and “dead eye” Dan Malchow combined their ability for 34 points to lead the Black and Red cagers. Schlachter led the winners with 20 points. The Goslings counted on 25% of the shots; Whitewater made 27% of their shots count.

Milton College—79

Northwestern—46

It was a “hot” Milton team playing an extremely “cold” Northwestern quintet. Never really in the game after the first few minutes, the Goslings gained a moral victory by holding Milton to less than 80 points. (79—46 sounds much better than 80—46). Again it was Nommensen and Malchow leading the scoring for the Goslings. Nommensen dumped in 16 points, Malchow tossed in 11, and Rohde had 9 points. Roush lead Milton with 22 points. Milton lead at half time 41—24.

RED Mission House—45

Northwestern—48

Both teams were "off” the first half and not much shooting was done. The Goslings did have a commanding lead at half time 25—13. The game was rather dull and uninteresting from the spectator’s point of view until the last few minutes when Russart, Mission House forward got hot and almost tied the game with five quick field goals. Lindloff and Nommensen had 12 points each to lead the Black and Red to victory. Russart paced the losers with 15 points. This game was the Gosling’s second conference victory against two losses.

Concordia College (Milwaukee)一53 “Big” Carl Nommensen almost single handedly beat Concor­ dia. Pouring in a season high of 30 points Carl looked in top shape; sharing scoring honors were Malchow with 12 points and Rohde with 10 points. The Falcons were never a serious threat as they are having one of their worst seasons in many a year.

Leading 32 — 24 at half time the Goslings always maintained a substantial lead and were not pressed too hard. The Gosling quintet connected on only 22% of their shots, while the Falcons were hitting on 25% of their shots. Under wager led the scoring for the Falcons with 15 points.

RED Concordia Teacher’s College— 65 Unable to overcome the height disadvantage the Goslings went down to defeat before an unbeaten Concordia team. Lead­ ing the B-I Conference, the Cougars were hard pressed the first half and held a slim 27— 25 advantage atjhalf time. The Cougar guards did most of the damage scoring a total of 40 points.

The Juneau boys again led the Gosling scorers: Nommensen 16 points and Rohde 10.

Northwestern—64 Milton—72 Northwestern’s bucket brigade was again unable to upset the Wildcats from Milton College, although the game was played on very even terms the first half. Half time score was all tied up at 29 — 29. But for the first twelve minutes of the second half the Goslings were unable to get a field goal. The Black and Red did finally start rolling and dumped in nine field goals, eight of which Nommensen pushed through the hoop. Nommy led all scorers with 29 points; Malchow dumped in 12 points fol­ lowed by Zarling’s eleven and Rohde’s ten points. Getts and Wilt led Milton with 14 points each. The Goslings started the game fast but had a bad relapse and then came back strong again, but the second half made the difference between victory and defeat.

RED St. Jacobi—50 Northwestern一75 The Sem game having been cancelled because of a confusion of dates the Goslings had a game arranged with St. Jacobi’s church team of Milwaukee. The game was rather one sided because St. Jacobi’s was definitely off on their shooting. Danny Malchow, Neenahland’s gift in the form of a “hot shot” guard or a‘‘iiookshot’’ forward accounted for one-third of the Gosling’s points. Nommensen had 13 points, Birkholz and Zimmermann were tied with nine points each. Schnell led the visitors with 11 points. As a team N. W. C. counted on 28% of their field goal attempts but as for individual averages: Zimmermann led the attack making 66% of his shots followed closely by Malchow who swished nine out of nineteen for a sizzling 47% N.

It will be a battle between the Seniors and the Frosh (2) for the cellar position.

''MARCH-WIND/7 by Baumbach

by P, E,

Cool was the March-wind: my blood was on fire.

Away flew my hat, up higher and higher.

u

Over the garden wall, over it blew, Into the arms of sweet Margret it flew.

She dusted the dirt off with tiny white hand And stuck a fresh violet under the band. :

Tossed it back over with never a word.

I said ‘‘Many thanks’’； she was gone ere she heard.

Now to the garden wall daily I go, Waiting for wind, but the wind won’t blow.

And Gretchen I see through the garden stockade, But not even once will she turn her blond head.

If the wind doesn’t help me I know what to do: I’ll throw her my hat and go after it, too.

RED lPA" COTEY Ihj GENE MC KFE

Interesting and unusual—those words fit no one so well as my grandfather whom my sister, my three brothers and I have always called “Pa.” He looked just about the same to me at seventy as he did when he was sixty years old. A large but not especially tall man with coal-black hair, who walked slowly but with great determination and who thought the same way.

He never looked his age, always a good deal younger — until he removed his false teeth.

It was a source of great amusement to me, and to my sis­ ters and brothers, too, to stop at his home now and then to dis­ cuss the developments of the war (we were in the midst of the Second World War at that time). Though he usually started out slowly, he soon warmed to his topic until he boiled and seethed with opinions and convictions. At first he would laugh a little; I say laugh, but he laughed only when he had made someone else laugh, and then he did not really laugh, he chuck­ led a low chuckle with his mouth half-closed and his pipe in his hand. As his temperature began to rise, he became more and more serious, until finally he would talk a steady stream, point­ ing Kis pipe at me and contorting his face for emphasis. At this stage it was fatal to disagree with him, for then he became excited and very angry. His steady stream of convictions, they were convictions, not opinions, and some of them were beauties, would taper off into a smoke-filled silence in which his furious puffing on that cheap corn-cob pipe was interrupted only occa­ sionally by his conclusions.

Each of us had these sessions with Pa not only because we were amused by his convictions and the manner in which he expounded them, but because we knew that, though he didn’t show it—and few people would have guessed it—he was a lonely man who, more than anything else, needed someone to talk to, to lighten the burden of age. He died almost a year ago, but it will be many a year before the memory of that forceful old tyrant fades from my remembrance.

RED ODE TO THE ABSTRACT PAINTER

by IVAN

The stretching out and vacancy Of barren empty plain Is nothing but a picture Of the painter’s so-called brain.

:

The broken-headed dummy And the teardrop in the veil Have much more deep significance Than an eyeball in a pail.

The bent and dripping watches, A foot where the nose should be, Is a pretty good sign of disorder In the artist’s mentality.

And then we come to cubists, With angles obtuse and acute, Which give optical illusions And color blindness to boot.

No, I can stand the deep, dry book, The modern verse, why sure, Why even the very newest new look Has not made my language impure;

；i

But when it comes to the brainless, To the impressionistic “art,” That so-called artists would foist on us, ’Tis then I begin to smart.

So don’t deface a woman, Put the leaves back on the tree, Leave the watches in the pockets, And peace will come back to me.

245

：；'.'l i

RED FAMOUS LAST WORDS You most likely have read at least five times in this issue about how nice it is that this is the last issue, so I will not say it again, even though it really is. I won’t even get sentimental and give you a lot of tears and things about dear old Alma Ma­ ter. That comes after graduation. But let me at least give you a small word of advice before I sign off: Never put your trust in princes Who’ll callously betray it, Nor yet in the psychostethokyrtographometer, Even if you can say it.

So I shut up till you see me in the alumni notes. I don’t want to, but we are broke.

Dear Black and Red: ITH this issue another of your volumes is ready to be shelved for future reference.' The fifty-second year of your existence has come to a close. This means a change in your staff; it means that several members of your staff have finished their term of service to you.

We of your staff would have liked to do more for you, but, and I believe you realize this, we were always too restricted.

We would like to have had new cuts made for the columns. We would also have liked to put in new pictures. All this was im­ possible. As the months progressed conditions became yet more 248

RED deplorable, until now we leave you in a very unfortunate and critical state. Definite steps must be taken to improve your plight. We would like to see you through this struggle, but since that is not possible, we will stand by and give you every bit of support possible.

We often bemoaned the fact that your deadlines came so often, that there were such frequent trips to the printer, that all your work came in our toughest weeks, and that we had so little to work with. A change in staff will do you good and everyone will be happier. The printer will hope the new staff will be more resigned, and less inclined to arguing and bar­ gaining. Readers will be glad to see a new group of contribu­ tors. No matter what we have heard, done, or said, though, we had fun; we’ll miss you.

But now the time has come for us to entrust you to your new staff. Before we leave, we wish you good fortune in what­ ever shall be undertaken with you. We hope your readers have enjoyed your last ten issues, and we know that your staff for Volume LIII will carry on nobly. Success and prosperity to them!

Ill Its Pastor Carl Mischke，’44, La Crosse, has accepted a call to Goodhue, Minnesota.

On Dec. 5, 1948,' Pastor Robert Waldschmidt, M2, was in­ stalled at the Crandon-Angonne-Hiles Parish. Having served as missionary f<?r the Missouri Synod in Burley, Idaho, he has succeeded Rev. LeRoy Ristow ’30, at Crandon.

Two Michigan pastors, Arthur Wacker，’18，of Scio, and Edgar Hoenecke, ’2§，of Plymouth, have been commissioned by Wisconsin Synod to survey missionary fields in Africa. They will leave the country in the latter part of April.

Pastor Gerhard Fischer, ’22, Savanna, 111., has accepted the call to Helenville, Wisconsin.

A news release has been received that “Lt. Philip W. Koeh­ ler, ’42, is at present serving aboard the USS AMBERJACK.one of the most modern high-speed submarines in the U. S. Navy.

The AMBERJACK recently returned to its home port, Key West， Florida, after participating in Fleet Operations off the coast of Labrador. Since departing from Key West, the ship has visited the ports of Norfolk, New London, New York, Bermuda, and Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Lt. Koehler’s present home ad­ dress is 621 Eaton Street, Key West, Florida. His decorations include a Silver Star, awarded for extraordinary valour in ac­ tion while attached to Underwater Demolition Team ^ 19 during the invasion of Okinawa.”

Leland Wurster, ’46，seminary student, was engaged to Miss Irma Lebkuechner on Dec. 25, 1948.

In November, a baby girl was born to Rev. and Mrs. Nor­ man Mass, ’42, oi Durand, Michigan.

Since this is my last column, I feel I ought to give Mr. X, my almost constant companion during the last volume, a decent burial. Yep, the poor chap died you know. It seems that he passed away from an acute case of internal corruption. So as a tribute to Mr. X I’ve written this couplet: While here on this earth he did his job well; We’ll miss Mr. X and his very own smell.

A Typer’s Lament: Ich nehme ein typink course hier zur Schul, Und Ich sage recht schnell, dass ich bin kein fool; Aber ich habe so viele trouble mit der keys, Dass ich glaub alle typschreibers sind gut fuer cheese.

The scarlet fever bug bit Ken Bohnsack a few weeks back, and after his red face had definitely been attributed to scarlet fever, a quarantine panic hit the dorm. All the attached gen­ tlemen were set to check out in a hurry in case the dorm was put under lock and key. After Prof. Pless told the dorm resi­ dents that lots of sleep was essential in helping to ward off the bug, the dorm was just about blacked out by 11:30 every night for a week. But after a week had passed and no new cases had developed, most of the collegiates went back to their old routine of twelve hours of greasing with bedtime around 2:00 251

RED A. M. (That twelve hour grease job includes two times out to change towels.)

Dan Malchow, president of the Senior lovers’ fraternity, Alpha Phalpha Diddle, has given me his choice for the fraternity brothers’ drinking song: Maas, she’s makin’ eyes at me.

A snowball in satan’s stokers has a better chance of survi­ val than a shaving light at N. W. C. Maybe some of the boys can shave by the gleam in their eyes, but most of us would like to SEE how badly we cut ourselves.

This is the last time I’ll have a chance to apologize in print to Reggie Pope for so frequently making him the butt of so many jokes? It’s all been in fun, Burp, and you’re a butt in a million.

Is it a V2 rocket? a new jet fighter? Nope, just one of the washroom plungers hurtling down from third floor. The sound that those tools of sanitation make when yanked off of whatever they have hit is like the peculiar sounds Howie Kaiser makes every week end.

For Hebrew Scholars Only: Prof.: With which comets are you most familiar?

Student: Qamez cliatuf In the Spring of the year, I have been told, Young men really become quite bold, Since Love then takes them into her fold.

Love’s the thing that makes the world go round, And especially in Spring does it abound, When puers and puellas give each other the run-around.

262

RED ;

As for me, I’ve always found it true That in Spring I often feel quite blue ’Cause I’ve always a cold or two.

Instead of billing and cooing and such, I find that my nose starts running too much, And I blow till it’s almost too tender to touch.

h

So while most men always look forward to Spring As the time for another amorous fling, I look forward to sniffles and wheezes, Gosh ding.

Famous People: Mark Anthony, the inventor of the famous Toni hair wave.

J. S. Bach, the brother of P. S., and the guy that dis­ covered bach beer.

Shut Sut Put, famed Egyptian motorboat racer.

No I’m not going to write a long farewell poem or even just a windy, prosaic exit speech. All I have to say is that it’s been fun for me, and I hope for youse too. May my successor write stuff that’ll tickle your sides without offending your nose too much.

Extension 55

Northwestern 58

Extension always plays a good game on the Black and Red court; this year was no exception as the Black and Red cagers defeated the Extensionites by a very slim margin. Again, as in the previous Extension game, the Umnusmen won the game on free throws. Both teams garnered 21 field goals and both teams committed 22 fouls, but the Black and Red men cashed in on 16 of the free throws while the University boys counted on only 13. Nommensen again led all scoring with 19 points followed

by Malchow and Rohde who were tied with 12 each, Birkholz had 9 points. Ries lead the losers with 14 points followed by Koehler’s 12. Half time score: NWC—31, EXT—25.

Mission House 73 Northwestern 61 Beaten, but far from humbled (does that sound familiar?), the Northwestern Cagers finally succumbed to their traditional ri­ vals, the Mission House Muskies. So was broken the Goslings’ 254

RED perennial mastery over the men from Plymouth, which victory string had reached the amazing total of FOURTEEN CON­ SECUTIVE VICTORIES. (This is not just idle dreaming, but the records will bear out the 14 VICTORIES).

Encountering some red hot shooting and a rather ill man­ nered crowd, the Goslings fell behind from the start and at one time trailed by the score of 23—8. The Muskies, however, pos­ sibly anticipating a runaway to atone for last fairs football slaughter, soon learned the disastrous results of becoming too cocky. Switching to a tight man to man defense, the Gosling five poured on the steam and at half time had narrowed the margin to three points, trailing 27 — 24. But in the second half, with both NWC guards riding on four fouls, the pace soon slackened, and with it went the Goslings’ chances for victory.

With their starting five scoring all but two free throws, Mission House tried desperately to raise the score as much as possible.

Big Carl Nommensen, Gosling scoring ace, had a “bad” night at the basket scoring only 16 points to tie “boom swish” Birkholz for scoring honors. L. Pluim, one of the better boys on the floor, racked up 23 points for the victors.

Goncordia (River Forest) 62 Northwestern 59 As the Black and Red cagers had won the Extension game by 3 points, they now lost to Concordia T. C. by three points in another close game. Concordia had a decided edge in their field goal shooting. The teachers cashed in on 26 of the 83 attempt­ ed shots: the Goslings, however, could count only on 19 of the 99 attempts. The game was frequented by the “flare up” of the Teachers, who experienced some difficulty with their un­ controllable temper. As a result the Illinoismen seemed to have a lot of trouble on the foul column. ‘‘Old faithful” Nommen­ sen again led the scoring with 23 points, followed by Lindloff with 10 points. Herzog led the winners with 18 points, fol­ lowed by Doehrmann’s 12. Half time score: NWC—28 Concor­ dia. 一 35.

Aurora 57 Northwestern 39 Showing definite signs of being tired from the previous night’s game with Concordia, the Goslings just were not up to their usual form and as a result were decisively beaten by a much smaller Aurora team. Exhibiting a few flashes of bril­ liant ball playing, the Goslings just couldn’t catch the Spartans.

Nommensen, although having one of his worst nights, led all scoring with four field goals and eight free throws. Brackett led the winners with 13 points, Mahoney had 12. Half time score: NWC—22 points; Aurora—29.

It took an overtime game to win, but the Goslings did win.

As the game was all tied up at 77—77 at the end of the regular game the Goslings wasted no time in racing to an 84—81 score.

THE GOSLINGS’ ACE CENTER, CARL NOMMENSEN, SCORED 45% OF THE GOSLINGS’ POINTS BY DUMPING IN A SEASON HIGH OF 39 POINTS. Malchow swished 12 and Rohde had 10. Fountain with 31 points and Raushenberger^ 24 points led the losers.

NOMMENSEN SCORES 77 POINTS IN TWO GAMES WITH­ IN A WEEK. “Nommy” broke all the records in the B&R books. Even the score keeper had trouble (right Gil?). The Concordia boys put up a real battle until the last 10 minutes, but the Goslings had too much. The score was 31 — 30 at half time with the Falcons out in front. With Rohde’s 12, Zarling’s 12, and Malchow’s 11，plus Nommy’s innumerable points, the Goslings coasted to easy victory.

It was a close game but the persistent "preachers” held on to their lead through the game. With 13 seconds of the game remaining “dead shot” Wietzke broke a 72—72 dead­ lock to give the Sem a 73—72 victory. Both teams were evenly matched as was witnessed^ throughout the game. Nommensen lead all scoring with 29 points, Birkholz followed with 15, Mal­ chow and Rohde each had 11. The Wietzke brothers led the 257

Lewis 52 Northwestern 49 Having a bad case of "missitis” or “colditis” the Gosling Bucket brigade experienced some difficulty in hitting the hoop and as a result went down to defeat before the “flyers” of Lewis College. Unable to hit the first half the Goslings gar­ nered 20 points the first half (Nommy 17, Zarling 3) as the “flyers” flew to 25 points. During the second half the Gos­ lings were able to get 29 points, but the Lewis men grabbed 27 points, just enough to win the game. The game was tied at 32 and again at 38 but both times the “flyers” were able to pull ahead. Nommensen scored 27 points to lead the nights scoring.

Gornik and White scored 15 and 16 points respectively.

With the St. Procopius victory the Goslings have eleven vic­ tories and eleven defeats with one game remaining on the schedule. A pretty good record for a team that was not even rated a chance before the season started. Carl Nommensen, the Goslings1 ace center, set a new scoring record for the season with a total of 496 points for an average of 22.5 per game With one more game to play Nommy will go well over 500 points for an all time record at Northwestern College. A record that will long stand at this College.

Seminary Bone Crunchers 46 N. W. G. Seniors 27 This year the traditional “skullcracker-bone cruncher” game was played at the Seminary. Every year before the NWC— SEM game, the College Seniors—“the skullcrackers” play the Seminary— ‘ ‘bonecrunchers’ ’ as a preliminary game. This year the “bone crunchers” had a little too much punch for the “skullcrackers”. The Seniors put up a good fight until the fourth quarter; then the Sem bonecrunchers let loose with a 19 point barrage which the skullcrackers were unable to match.

Everyone had a good time and it is expected that almost all the casualties will be in fair condition for the “bonecruncher— skullcracker” game next fall.

RED INTRA-MURAL BASKETBALL At the end of the regular third round it was learned that the Juniors and the Frosh (1) were tied for first place, so a playoff was necessary to determine the Champion. In the champion­ ship game *'Brown, the Hookshot” Sellnow tallied 13 points to lead the Juniors to victory. Holding a 35—32 edge the Juniors pulled a “Michigan stall” for the remaining three minutes to win the championship and the brand new T-shirts.

Season’s high scorers: D. Kock—147; C. Spaude —142; Carter—132.
